			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings, dear ones. We are the Council of Light and we love you dearly.</p>
<p>You are the ones in this lifetime who will show the way to that Divine Spark contained within each human. You will be the ones to show the world that there is no duality, no separation, a belief that has pervaded human thought for too long. Even the ancient Gnostics had come to believe in this dualism. We tell you now that it is a lie. There never was a separation or a fall from grace. Everything you see is part of the whole, an expression of the All That Is Creator.</p>
<p>Yes, there was a descent for lack of a better word into what you now know as the physical realms. But these realms do not exist separately from the angelic realms. They are another expression of the Divine All That Is. The All is complete in and of Itself. The Divine Spark within is merely another expression of an aspect of All That Is.</p>
<p>This idea of duality and separation comes from ignorance or, in other words, forgetfulness. As your human form explored more and more deeply the physical realms they also began to forget their essence. Over eons of time you began to believe that God or the Gods were separate from you and were in fact in charge of you. Over time you allowed these &#8220;Gods,&#8221; the other aspects of you, to take charge and control your lives. You began to pray and supplicate and even offer sacrifice to these aspects of yourselves.</p>
<p>Your amnesia became so deep as to completely cloak your true knowledge (gnosis). You began to doubt, albeit fearfully, that there even was any kind of deity. As your worship of the ancient aspects of yourselves deepened and intensified, your various dogmas became more and more entrenched into your daily lives. As you became more and convinced of the &#8220;truth&#8221; of your beliefs, you became increasingly intolerant of other systems. These religious animosities pervaded all aspects of your cultures.</p>
<p>Convinced of the &#8220;holiness&#8221; of your belief systems you convinced yourselves that it was your duty to carry out the demands of your gods. You came to believe that it was your holy mission to carry forth the &#8220;word of God&#8221; into all lands, regardless of the others&#8217; beliefs or customs. You became so enamored of your belief systems you were ready to die and to kill for your beliefs.</p>
<p>The time has come, dear ones, to acknowledge your past and move on into the present. Now you can and do remember. You are re-acquainting yourselves with all your aspects, including those gods of old that you created for your own enjoyment and experience.</p>
<p>We tell you now that you are evolved beyond any time or place of the past. While many of you were deeply involved with and connected to those ancient cultures, you have moved beyond any of them. Your achievements of integration with your Divine Self is far beyond any time, place, or culture. While you may look upon these ancients with awe and respect, we will remind you that you merely look upon yourselves from the past. Allow yourselves to remember those times, honor those past aspects and expressions of you, then step fully into the Now, into the fullness of All That you Are in the Present.</p>
<p>We know that for some of you letting go of those past times will be difficult. You have much fondness and familiarity of those times. They hold much fascination for you. But if you allow, you can feel the greatness of these Now times. You are on a path of ascension, remaining here on this planet and passing through many &#8220;lifetimes&#8221; within one. It is in this lifetime that can achieve that which was thought about, written about, and hoped for in past times. You have held the meetings and forums in the ancient times in which you discussed these days you live now.</p>
<p>We speak of these things in order for you to begin to see how you often hold onto the past lives and events that were experienced by aspects of you. Many of you helped to create those great civilizations, known and unknown. You were the builders of empires, cultures, and religions. There is nothing you haven&#8217;t done. You foresaw the times when it would be possible to walk the Earth as a Divine Human. You knew it was possible then. You are doing it now. Do you allow yourself to feel the significance of this Now time? And so in this lifetime is your greatest achievement.</p>
<p>You walk this planet in the physical realms fully integrated with All That You Are. That Divine Spark within you is who you are and will go before you making the way clearer for those that follow.</p>
<p>Walking the Earth as the embodiment of gnosis, knowledge, has never been done before. Oh, it was thought about. The question were raised, discussed, and debated. Your great councils and schools of the mysteries explored these phenomena with excitement and interest. Many of you argued that it might be possible to remain physical but still fully embody and integrate with your Divine Truth. Oh, how you longed to know if it were indeed possible. You have longed and hungered for the direct experience of your own God Self and the gnosis (knowledge) that integration would bring.</p>
<p>We tell you now, dear ones, you have and are achieving the experience of integration of gnosis.</p>
<p>Can you trust and love yourself so much to feel the Allness of You? We invite you to breathe with this new knowledge every day and anytime you remember. Breathe in the fullness of You. Breathe in gnost, the gnosis that transcends description and explanation. It will never by described or explained for it is beyond words&#8212;beyond the mind. But it is not beyond experience, feeling, or knowing. It is a grand gift you have offered to yourselves and it is time to allow this experience fully into your lives.</p>
<p>And so, as you breathe forth into this new experience, you will remember more and more of who you are but the past times and  and experiences will mean less and less to you for you will realize the full extent and impact of the Now time to which you have contributed so much.</p>
<p>Now is not the time to be looking back to what you were or what you thought you were. It is time to see yourselves now in the full Divine Light of All That You Are. There has never been a more opportune time in your existence. It is a time of great rejoicing at your accomplishments in this lifetime for you have shed the bonds of the old ways and times. We tell you now that the time is here for you to open to your Godhood. It is time to stop hiding behind your masks of old lives and old experiences. You have brought to yourselves and therefore to the world the greatest gift ever imagined.</p>
<p>Gone are the times of giving away your energies to those who would freely take from your life&#8217;s essence. Now is the time for you to acknowledge and contain your full Divinity. You have worked so hard and endured so much in order to make these times possible. To be able to walk this planet as a Divine Human is one of the most amazing accomplishments. You have created and accomplished much more than you imagine or know at this time. Your experiences are the foundation upon which rests the profound changes occurring all around you and your planet.</p>
<p>And so it is that you have come to this place of lightness and ascension. You have reached the point of no return. You have stopped the progression of the walk into the depths of physicality. And you are stepping forth into All That You Are. You cannot go back even if you wanted to. You see, you are an Ascended Master and we have often reminded you and we will continue to do so for you are that Truth.</p>
<p>You can be assured that you are not being left behind; you miss nothing as you have sometimes wondered. We ask you to allow yourself to feel the love, to breathe in the Love that is All That You Are. Breathe in deeply into the core of you the Truth of Love that is and always has been with you even through the roughest of times. This is the gift that you gave yourselves. This gift of Love that passes all understanding. Indefinable. Inexplicable. Just pure compassionate Love for You.</p>
<p>Breathe in the Breath of Truth, the Breath of Love. Allow yourselves the Joy of this knowing.</p>
<p>We are the Council of Light and we love you, oh, so dearly. You are indeed honored for all you continue to do.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We continue our discussion of belief systems, just when you think we&#8217;ve exhausted our discourse.</p>
<p>Your belief systems are the engines of your duality. It is your ideas and beliefs that drive your dual world. In fact, it keeps your duality healthy.</p>
<p>Belief systems are the very essence of your world as you know it. As you begin to dismantle your belief systems you dismantle your societies. You have constructed a means to preserve life as you know it.</p>
<p>Belief systems are the building blocks of churches, governments, and economic systems. Know that as you question your beliefs, you are questioning the very foundations of your world. This is not for the faint of heart. It is the beginning, however, of a new world in which you live by your divine choice rather than a set of rules.</p>
<p>This living by divine will has never before been tried by as many people as is now possible. You think societies of the past were more advanced. You think Atlanteans were ahead of you.</p>
<p>There has never been a more advanced group of humans than you today&#8212;not on Earth, not anywhere. No other group has been in the physical and at the same time realized their divinity. Of course, it has happened by individuals throughout time, but never on a scale as this.</p>
<p>Never have so many been willing to question their reality, their belief systems on such a scale as you have.</p>
<p>It is a phenomenon unparalleled.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your belief systems are killing you. Your belief systems are your judgment systems and it is your judgment that is killing you.</p>
<p>You have been warned many times, yet you hold to those beliefs no matter how much pain you inflict upon yourselves and others. You do not allow yourselves to hear or to see truth. You rely upon old ideas to guide you in your lives. You react to events around you, usually with a knee-jerk reaction and then you wonder why &#8220;they&#8221; are the way &#8220;they&#8221; are, whether it is your neighbor or you counterparts in other countries.<br />
<span id="more-21"></span><br />
You choose to stay locked in your battles over belief systems from politics to education. You choose blindness over sight, deafness over hearing, emotion over feeling. You pretend objectivity but practice reaction based upon fear. Your whole world is reactionary. You say you stand for righteousness while practicing mayhem and murder upon your fellow humans-and upon yourselves.</p>
<p>You say it is your duty to preserve freedom while you are imprisoned within your old patterns of fear and hatred for those who are different from you. Oh, we hear you say you love one another, yet you feed off each other blindly and without compassion. You feed off each other&#8217;s fears and prejudices&#8212;off each other&#8217;s belief systems. You have no hesitation to kill when you suspect another can or will challenge your beliefs. You kill the young in the name of preserving your borders&#8212;those imaginary barricades you have erected to preserve your way of life&#8212;your belief structure. You claim it is only natural, it is only self-preservation. How perverse is it that you claim self-preservation while at the same time you kill? You cannot kill another without killing a piece of yourself. How can you preach love but war no matter how righteous you believe your war to be?</p>
<p>How can any religious group claim to be righteous while sucking the life out of others, whether it is oil from the ground or money from the pockets. It is no different. Can you dare to truly live with open eyes, with open ears? Can you dare to hear your belief systems screaming at you, demanding that you serve them? Can you feel the fear in your leaders, religious and otherwise, as they advise you while your let them suck the life out of you?</p>
<p>&#8220;He who has ears to hear, let him hear.&#8221;</p>
<p>Can you not hear that giant sucking sound of your feeding off each other? You feed off your children while they feed off you. You feed off your neighbor while your neighbor feeds off you.</p>
<p>You religious leaders feed off your congregations. You take their money, their love, their faith and you return to them messages of fear and hopelessness. You feed them candy while they feed you their blood.</p>
<p>You politicians feed off your constituents as you take their energy in the form of money and tell them it is their duty to keep the so-called services going. You feed them war, fear, and false promises in exchange for their blood through their children who die on foreign lands and you tell them what good citizens they are. And they believe you. You feed them your lies and they feed you their hope without question.</p>
<p>Oh, yes, we are being blunt with you. We have tried everything else to help you awaken to your own creations. We know many of you will not hear us. But we know many of will allow your eyes to see and your ears to hear.</p>
<p>Look into your mirrors&#8212;your neighbor&#8217;s eyes. They reflect you. Can you see? Dare you see?<br />
We do not judge you. We are only saying what we see you do. We have watched your games, but it is time to put away those childish games and take up the mantel of spiritual adulthood. You and you alone are responsible for your life and your world as it is.</p>
<p>Can you choose to see who your really are? Dare to become who you really are on the Earth. Dare to take responsibility for your lives, each of you individually.</p>
<p>Dare to examine your fear-based beliefs. Dare to let them go as you discover their dis-service to you. You do not have to save your neighbor. Save yourself. Acknowledge your divinity and allow that great one, All That You Are, to reign in your life.</p>
<p>You are responsible. You and you alone</p>
<p>Dare you see yourself?</p>
<p>Dare you expose yourself?</p>
<p>Dare you <em>love</em> yourself that much?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And so we once more see the play upon your planet. [Referring to the death of al-Zarqawi.] There is much more than meets the eye for the head of the serpent has been removed. But there is another serpent. In this game you play, there is always another serpent for the script calls for it&#8212;and so on it goes.</p>
<p>Until you see your life here as a play you will always need a serpent to scare you and you will always need to slay the serpent.<br />
<span id="more-20"></span><br />
This play in your Middle East is occurring without the carnage that could have been. Enough has changed but it is not over. Not for some of your decades. This is partially why your Earth was not ready to integrate. The people chose to stay the course some years ago with your elections (of 2002 and since). They chose the old ways as we have said before.</p>
<p>And so we are back to belief system are we not? Can you see how your belief systems color your choices, conscious or unconscious? You can continue to believe in the battles between good and evil. Do you see that your perception is clouded by your belief in the goodness and evilness of the systems themselves?</p>
<p>You in the United States believe your system is good. It&#8217;s the best in the world, you say. Then you proceed to find other systems that are bad. Some are so bad that you take it upon yourselves to destroy them. Can you yet see that you create the situations so that you prove the righteousness of your actions?</p>
<p>You actually celebrate the destruction of the enemies you create. You even believe God is on your side even as you fail to notice that the other side is proclaiming that God is on their side. It would be quaint if it weren&#8217;t so deadly.</p>
<p>Your beliefs are so comfortable with you, no matter how deadly they may be. You still find comfort in then, you create hell and judgment to create great fear around death. Then you create heaven to make you feel better about the fear of death and eternal damnation.</p>
<p>You create an angry and judgmental God, and then you create a system through which you can appease that God so that he will judge you gently and lovingly if you are good and obey his rules. Can you see that you create these things through the belief systems that you also create?</p>
<p>You, dear ones, are the creators. There is no God outside of you pulling the strings of your lives. You create these illusions through your beliefs.</p>
<p>Why do you never stop to question your beliefs? Are you afraid of what you will find? Are you afraid to see yourselves truly as you are? Could you handle that kind of responsibility? Can you take full and sole responsibility for your lives? Is that what scares you?</p>
<p>Does it frighten you to know you are the creator of your life? That you are collectively responsible for life as it is on your planet?</p>
<p>Dear ones, we do not judge you. We are here only to help you awaken to your essence, to your authentic selves. You have judged yourselves enough. Now it is time for you to see your creatorship. You are, indeed, God also.</p>
<p>You believe in evil, and so it is. But you will not let yourselves believe you created evil. No, you choose to believe that evil is and therefore you know from experience that it is true.</p>
<p>You believe in god in a myriad of forms and each of your cultures believes he exists in the form handed down generation to generation by the religious belief systems you created to perpetuate your version of god or gods.</p>
<p>You believe that god, the great one who oversees the Universe, created all things, but you don&#8217;t quite know what to do with the creation of evil. Did God, who created all things create evil? Did God create Satan? How could that be and why would God do that?</p>
<p>Many of you like the answer, &#8220;Well there are just some things that we are not meant to understand.&#8221; That&#8217;s a convenient way out of the paradox, isn&#8217;t it? You created your paradox and your way out of it.</p>
<p>Do you see how inventive you are?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Belief systems tend to hold tight to the status quo. They are designed by you as a way for humanity to resist change. There is seeming comfort in rules and beliefs. If there are certain universal truths that humanity comes to accept, then comfort and complacency set in to hold the moment.</p>
<p>This atrophy of truth has held humanity back for eons of time. Grand institutions have been established to preserve the &#8220;truth.&#8221; Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and all religions of the world have been established to preserve sets of beliefs that are called truth. Men, women, and children die in an attempt to not only preserve their truth, but also to convince others of that truth. Humans will oftentimes kill other humans in order to save those humans. All in the name of God, Allah, Yahweh. They&#8217;re all the same.<br />
<span id="more-18"></span><br />
Beliefs developed that there is only one God and that one true God wants everyone to worship him. The believers then begin concocting schemes to spread the belief in this one true god because this god wants everyone to follow him as the one true God. Any other gods are fake, and therefore  the followers of this false gods must be convinced by any means to forsake the false god and follow the one true god.</p>
<p>So the wars begin. And all wars are religious wars. At the heart and core of every culture is some kind of religion or philosophy. These sets of beliefs and myths inform the society as to how to live. The belief systems establish rules that govern the societies. These religious beliefs create within the societies a sense of superiority because of their belief in this one true god. This belief in this one true god informs the believers as to what to do, how to conduct business, how to run governments and even how to run the education systems. All these institutions are designed to establish and maintain the myths by which the society as a whole follow as truth. These &#8220;non-religious&#8221; institutions are inherently designed to support the main religious overlay. For western cultures this is Christianity, and in Middle Eastern cultures the overlay is Islam, but with a major conflicting religious overlay, Judaism.</p>
<p>Eastern cultures have Hinduism and Buddhism as overlays. In China and Vietnam is an overlay of a somewhat new religion called Communism.</p>
<p>The mass consciousness, or hypnosis, is aided and abetted by a plethora of ingenious devices, including mass media of all kinds while beneficial are also the instruments of hypnosis.</p>
<p>We are, by the way, making no judgments or indictments. We do not judge these societies nor do we condemn the belief systems. We do not wish to frighten anyone. There is enough fear to go around without adding another layer. That is not our intent or desire. We do, however, wish to raise certain questions regarding human belief systems as a way of examining the nature of continued human existence on the planet.</p>
<p>Of course, believers in these societies are not insane, stupid, or otherwise deficient. They are however in a state of deep hypnosis. Centuries of cultivating and growing these belief systems have deepened the hypnosis to the point of almost no return. We say &#8220;almost&#8221; because it is truly possible to emerge from the hypnosis. And it is to that end that we present these observations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is much to communicate on this day regarding your passage of the immigration bill.</p>
<p>This bill is a symbol of the fear of many Americans. They feel the old ways slipping out of their grasp and they are looking around for some explanation. The easiest thing to identify are the ones coming to your country. Most of them are Hispanic peoples, seeking a better way of living.<br />
<span id="more-16"></span><br />
Your beliefs in lack and limitation create reactions to these newcomers as the ones to blame for what many humans perceive as a diminishing way of life. These beliefs of losing strike fear into the very hearts of many Americans. The result is many otherwise kind and gentle ones are turning to their darker natures of defense. &#8220;Get them before they get us.&#8221; It is an old story, based on old belief systems that can be traced back to the very beginning time when the first life impulses emanated from All That Is, from the Creative Life Force itself.</p>
<p>This battle to have what another has and another&#8217;s attempt to hold onto it are merely repetitive reactions of a fear-based system of beliefs, examples of the belief that resources are limited and that if one is not careful, someone will deprive you of what you do have.</p>
<p>These beliefs and human reactions are coming forth at this time for examination. Does it serve humanity to continue blindly to follow these beliefs without question? Is humanity served by beliefs of lack? Dare you examine your beliefs? Dare you peel back the layers of darkness to examine the very core of your existence?</p>
<p>Why not have a look?</p>
<p>Why not go within to discover that which no longer serves you?</p>
<p>This refusal to question the old ideas and beliefs creates tremendous tension within the human psyche. Changes are occurring; life is not following the usual pattern. Belief systems are not providing the satisfaction they once did. Who, if anyone, is to blame? Mexicans? Jews? Christians? Muslims?</p>
<p>You?</p>
<p>As long as humans seek answers to their questions outside of themselves, they will continue much like the hamsters running on the wheel, the unending struggle, going nowhere, but expending enormous amounts of energy on the illusion of doing something.</p>
<p>These attitudes and beliefs are designed by humans to keep smugly and complacently blinded as to who they really are and what they are doing here. If you look too closely within yourselves, are you afraid of what might be lurking there? It could be that you are afraid of acknowledging responsibility for your creations.</p>
<p>Whom would you blame? As long as you hold onto the security blankets of belief systems you never have to acknowledge your responsibility to yourselves and to acknowledge your own divinity. To acknowledge your divinity is to acknowledge your creatorship. If we acknowledge our creatorship, all that is left of me is what I&#8217;ve created around me.</p>
<p>These ideas trigger further belief in such ideas as blame, guilt, punishment, right, wrong, perfection, failure, success and on and on. Duality is the name of the physical game of life on Earth. To have good, there much be evil. To have light, there must be dark. They go hand in hand.</p>
<p>Duality is created from belief systems or belief networks.</p>
<p>To have rich, we must have poor.</p>
<p>To have love, we mush have hate.</p>
<p>To have joy, we must have sorrow.</p>
<p>What if none of these are true. What if they are lies? What do we do then?</p>
<p>What then is real?</p>
