It is important to realize, \u201cI am in a place of trust. I just need to be truthful.\u201d That can be quite the turn. Start saying what you mean, or if you don\u2019t want to say what you mean, don\u2019t say it. Start holding your integrity in how and who you deal with in your life.<\/em> – John Morton<\/p>\n

This article comes from a question-and-answer seminar that John led for MSIA Ministers and Initiates in August 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you ask for immediate help spiritually with your full power \u2013 what sometimes might be called desperation \u2013 it can be because you are taking on the contracted, limited lower nature that wants to be in charge and have its day.\u00a0 That\u2019s part of what is going on.\u00a0 That is part of life.<\/p>\n

What we are going to be experiencing is the lower nature gaining and growing.\u00a0 All the levels are being served.\u00a0 When that comes, the highest level is being called into attention.\u00a0 It\u2019s working from what I call \u201cthe top down.\u201d\u00a0 Another way to say that is it\u2019s spirit directed \u2013 as in the whole spirit.<\/p>\n

We need to get off what it is labeled and get into what it\u00a0is.<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0Then, you are in a place of letting go.\u00a0 That\u2019s another way help works.\u00a0 You let go, so any resistance is released. It\u2019s about releasing the disturbance, imbalance, attachments \u2013 the things that aren\u2019t serving.\u00a0 There are other things that get shaken.\u00a0 There is going to be a convergence or a transformation.\u00a0 It is like going from one state to another state.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s consider help.\u00a0 \u201cHelp me go higher and better.\u201d\u00a0 That\u2019s what help is.\u00a0 Spirit is going to help you.\u00a0 Something that we are attached to can be a thing we think we need. It\u2019s saying, \u201cI have to have that.\u201d\u00a0 That is something we need to let go because it is a form of addiction.\u00a0 It is not really serving us.\u00a0 It\u2019s keeping us in bondage and restriction.\u00a0 It is often disease.\u00a0 Disease can come as a result of that.\u00a0 We are out of balance and holding to it \u2013 maybe with all our might \u2013 but our might can\u2019t hold it.\u00a0 A day is coming, called a \u201cDay of reckoning.\u201d<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t sound very nice.\u00a0 It\u2019s too much like a wreck.\u00a0 You may wonder, \u201cI\u2019m going to have a wreck, a collision with my bad karma.\u201d\u00a0 Maybe.\u00a0 Let\u2019s consider you are not given what you can\u2019t handle.\u00a0 If you are going to have a reckoning or a \u201cDay of judgement\u201d, that is going to serve you.\u00a0 Call to the Lord in the highest.\u00a0 Even if you say, \u201cI don\u2019t know if I am doing that,\u201d\u00a0call it out because that is who\u00a0to\u00a0serve and that\u2019s what is being served here.<\/p>\n

If you are letting the Traveler come to your aid and be with you, that is on the inner first.\u00a0 That can be the\u00a0Light, so it comes in as the\u00a0Light.\u00a0 That can be the purple light.\u00a0 It can also be a presence, like your friend is with you.\u00a0 Help is on the way and it is here and comforting.\u00a0 You know you are going to be helped.<\/p>\n

God helps those who help themselves.\u00a0 Put yourself in that order, that you are willing to help.\u00a0 When somebody really has that willingness, often they are called upon to do nothing, as in \u201cno thing\u201d.\u00a0 Like, \u201cRight now, we need you to do\u00a0no thing<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0 Don\u2019t resist, try to understand, or even help.\u00a0 Just take it.\u00a0 Be in a receptive place so what can be done for you is being done.\u00a0 Some of that is to release what, in a habitual way, you hold onto, fight for, or try to protect.\u00a0 That\u2019s the thing you need to let go.<\/p>\n

There is an opportunity to trust yourself, perhaps more than ever before.\u00a0 Trust comes out of truth.\u00a0 In English, the first three letters are \u201cTRU\u201d.\u00a0 Truth established itself like, \u201cI am a person of truth.\u00a0 Someone who lives in truth.\u201d\u00a0 You are a person who lives in truth.\u00a0 That is who a soul is.\u00a0 You can\u2019t be false.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t false.\u00a0 If we go into that, we enter into being duplicitous.\u00a0 We are actually one presence, but we pretend or imagine something other than what we are.\u00a0 It becomes separation and disturbance.\u00a0 A house divided.\u00a0 It starts falling from what you are attached to.\u00a0 Let that go.<\/p>\n

Come into the place where you have a solid foundation, where you are not going to fall any further.\u00a0 That\u2019s enough.\u00a0 Part of what comes in spiritually is that even the negativity is called to a stop and cessation.\u00a0 No more againstness.\u00a0 There is what I call a resting place.\u00a0 You are protected by being in surrender.\u00a0 That is counter to a person who lives in fear\u00a0or doubt.\u00a0 They are always trying to put armor or walls up, live behind something or in a shadow, say one thing and do another.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

It is important to realize, \u201cI am in a place of trust.\u00a0 I just need to be truthful.\u201d\u00a0 That can be quite the turn.\u00a0 Start saying what you mean, or if you don\u2019t want to say what you mean, don\u2019t say it.\u00a0 Start holding your integrity in how and who you deal with in your life.\u00a0 Start holding up the truthfulness. If it takes too much to speak what you want to say in your heart, then in that moment don\u2019t speak it.\u00a0 Sometimes you won\u2019t be able to, even if you wanted to.\u00a0 It just won\u2019t come out.\u00a0 I would trust that.<\/p>\n

If you are \u201cshaking and quaking,\u201d just trying to speak your truth, give yourself a chance to go through that kind of solidification. You are becoming solid with being true to yourself, abiding in and speaking your truth.\u00a0 Refuse to do it any other way, even it has been habitual.\u00a0 Now, you are not doing that.<\/p>\n

You may have had a fall and come to a place that is solid in who you are.\u00a0 That is what you are called into doing right now.\u00a0 There is no rush because it\u2019s not like you are falling more.\u00a0 You have fallen, but you\u00a0can<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0get up.\u00a0 But right now, it may be that you need to rest for a moment.<\/p>\n

Remember, the\u00a0Light is around and with you.\u00a0 It comes out through your eyes.\u00a0 You receive things coming through the\u00a0Light.\u00a0 You don\u2019t need to do, \u201cFather, Mother, God,\u201d or however you say that.\u00a0 Just hang in there.\u00a0 But if you have a sense that you need to be more present with the\u00a0Light, take that moment.\u00a0 Pause to reset the\u00a0Light. This becomes a practice in how you do your life from here forward.\u00a0 You are acclimatizing to your circumstances.\u00a0 You have the means to do this correctly.\u00a0 When you are doing this correctly, it is going to be calm, serene, and clear.<\/p>\n

It is worthwhile to trust yourself that you are in new life.\u00a0 You are not threatened.\u00a0 There is nothing to worry about or fear.\u00a0 I\u2019m not saying that you have everything worked out, financially, health or relationship-wise.\u00a0 That is your 10%.\u00a0 But you can still trust yourself.\u00a0 You can still be in a place of, \u201cI\u2019m going to see what occurs to me in my calm, serenity, and clarity.\u00a0 I\u2019ll respond to that and do those things.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s set up spiritually in such a way that you don\u2019t have anything in your life to worry about or fear.<\/p>\n

At some point, you will be smiling with exhilaration and inspiration, feeling really good here.\u00a0 You\u2019ve got your mojo back.\u00a0 That kind of energy is enthusiasm.\u00a0 It is a joyful energy.\u00a0 Keep that up!\u00a0 Don\u2019t allow spooky things or things that would push your worry or fear.\u00a0 Do something to refocus into the\u00a0Light.\u00a0 Bring in the inner calm.<\/p>\n

It becomes an ordinary thing where you get through each day in such ways that you can be thankful.\u00a0 You can see there had been upliftment each day because you did good things.\u00a0 Those good things are like seeds. At some point they create a harvest.<\/p>\n

Be kind to people.\u00a0 That is going to come back around.\u00a0 Kindness is going to come to you, with generosity, good tidings, fun and enjoyment.\u00a0 If you put caring out, caring is going to come back to you.<\/p>\n

Prayer for Letting Go<\/strong><\/p>\n

Father-Mother God,
\nwe give ourselves to You again.
\nWe ask that this choice to surrender is sustained,
\nso we continue to let go.
\nWe let go all our negative concerns.
\nWe give them up freely.
\nWe completely release all negativity.
\nWe hand over all negativity to the Beloved,
\nwhom you sent to be with us in this world.<\/p>\n

We ask that Your healing come to us
\nas a balm upon our heads, our hands,
\nour feet, and our bodies.
\nYou heal our minds and our emotions,
\nthat we may clearly see and hear Your presence.
\nWe are fully open to You,
\nas we welcome You into all of our being.
\nBathe us with Your love and wisdom,
\nYour nurturing and caring.<\/p>\n

When we are holding on,
\nour trust in You releases us,
\nthat we may feel Your caring
\nand Your nurturing embrace.
\nYour wisdom inspires us to let go,
\nto release ourselves from any place that binds,
\nand to dismiss any consciousness that deceives.<\/p>\n

Make us holy and pure as Your children.
\nWe are made innocent by Your will being done.
\nIn our innocence sustained by You,
\nour freedom is restored,
\nand our sense of the goodness of life is abundant
\nand joyful.<\/p>\n

We go forward into this day as Your children,
\nknowing You are always watching over us
\nas we play together upon this planet,
\nenjoying this adventure in Your creation.<\/p>\n

Restore our knowing of encouragement,
\nof enthusiasm,
\nthat we can see the good in all things as Your creation.
\nAll the rest we leave to You,
\nby trusting again that Your will is done perfectly.
\nYou provide for our needs completely.
\nYou show us we are always protected by what serves
\nour Souls.
\nYou lead us to overcome every challenge
\nuntil that moment when at last we are home free,
\njust as You promised from the beginning.
\nYou have proclaimed all along to each Soul coming home,
\n\u201cYou are the blessings.\u201d<\/p>\n
