Loving moves through peace and joy and doing something to help. Sometimes that is really what\u2019s up.\u00a0 Show up and help move things forward into loving.<\/em> – John Morton<\/p>\n

This article comes from a sharing session John had at the \u201cCelebrating Who We Are\u201d workshop held at the\u00a0Conference of Celebration in June 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One opportunity you are having, among many others, is to realize who you are that is emerging on the planet.\u00a0 Are you ready for that?\u00a0 If you answer \u201cYes,\u201d then this is where you reside and where you are.\u00a0 There is more, much more.\u00a0 It is in the willingness to own, \u201cYes, I live here.\u00a0 I choose to come here.\u201d<\/p>\n

That we chose to be here is not always easy to understand.\u00a0 Are you okay with that?\u00a0 There are others having similar experiences about being on the planet.\u00a0 We could come together on-line or through whatever medium allows us to be together wherever we are, and then do something like dancing.\u00a0 People might say, \u201cYou\u2019re crazy!\u00a0 Why are you dancing? There are terrible things going on!\u201d<\/p>\n

There are.\u00a0 There are unnecessary things that hurt, disrupt, and conflict.\u00a0 There is a lot of that. We understand that is essentially unnecessary when we realize we could choose the loving.\u00a0 Loving moves through peace and joy\u00a0and\u00a0doing something to help. Sometimes that is really what\u2019s up.\u00a0 Show up and help move things forward into loving.<\/p>\n

Coming into a body gets very particular and specific.\u00a0 You are in\u00a0your\u00a0body and I\u2019m in this one.\u00a0 There is a reason you and I have a body.\u00a0 There is limitation there, but it\u2019s in our favor to be in a limited perspective.\u00a0 Having a body is limited in its nature, but not in againstness.\u00a0 It is learning how to cooperate with limitation.<\/p>\n

Spirit\u2019s natural state is expansiveness.\u00a0 That is what is called for.\u00a0 We\u00a0can\u00a0have awareness of the limitations, but we go on being free.\u00a0 That\u2019s one of the qualities of Spirit.\u00a0 It is always in a state of freedom and liberation, not confined by limitations.<\/p>\n

The spirit\u00a0has the willingness to take the lowest position.\u00a0 That may seem strange.\u00a0 If you are in the highest, most spiritual consciousness, why would you take the most limited position?\u00a0 Because that is where the greatest good can be done.\u00a0 That\u2019s smart, because you have the power to do the most good.\u00a0 Going to the lowest position is one of the ways to know the presence of your spirit in its full expansiveness.\u00a0 That full power is always with you.\u00a0 It goes where you go.<\/p>\n

One of the ways I experience the Traveler is as a turning point.\u00a0 There is a packet,\u00a0Turning Points to Personal Liberation<\/u>\u00a0available at\u00a0www.ThatWhichIs.org<\/a>.\u00a0 It is from a workshop on how we come into liberation from a personal perspective.\u00a0 In the personal perspective, we realize there are all kinds of limitations \u2013 like gravity \u2013 that change our consciousness.<\/p>\n

Falling down can be an adjustment, and it can literally be a sign that you are dropping the body.\u00a0 You may say, \u201cSpirit, that\u2019s a pretty direct message.\u00a0 I\u2019m dropping the body!\u201d\u00a0 Some people get shaken or panicked about that. \u201cWhat do you mean?\u00a0 I\u2019m not dropping the body!\u201d Well, you\u00a0are<\/strong>\u00a0falling down or something like that.\u00a0 It can also be that we are making mistakes, experiencing things like, \u201cWhat was I thinking? How could I do that?\u00a0\u00a0I\u00a0was so unconscious!\u201d<\/p>\n

What I see in that is the opportunity to trust that you can handle it.\u00a0 You can handle any circumstance or situation.\u00a0 Find that consciousness that demonstrates, \u201cI\u2019ve got this.\u201d\u00a0 We heard John-Roger say, \u201cSpirit\u2019s got this.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s a way of saying we\u2019ve all got that.\u00a0 One spirit, pouring through us as a presence.\u00a0 I relate to it as a pure presence.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s awesome, like when the music stops and we \u201cfreeze\u201d.\u00a0 That is a beautiful experience.\u00a0 It\u00a0can be like being slain\u00a0in the Spirit.\u00a0 We can\u2019t move.\u00a0 When I was first working with John-Roger, he once said to me in a matter-of-fact way, \u201cI\u2019m going to take you out of your body, and what I need from you is to do your best not to react to it. Whatever you experience is something you can handle.\u201d<\/p>\n

The experience was something where I could have been afraid, going towards terrified, if I wanted to.\u00a0 Extreme fear was available.\u00a0 I was aware I couldn\u2019t move.\u00a0 I was in the body and then I was in other dimensions I don\u2019t know how to describe.\u00a0 The natural inclination, for me, was to go back into the body.\u00a0 When I\u2019d had this experience previously, I would just go back into the body because I was uncomfortable being \u201cout of control\u201d from a physical-mental perspective.<\/p>\n

A convergence is happening when people aren\u2019t caught up in what is going on the world.\u00a0 Sometimes it\u2019s strange, odd,\u00a0particularly negative ways that make it more difficult.\u00a0 It can become a collective, like a war or a disease.\u00a0 Then it\u2019s like, \u201cThis didn\u2019t have to be.\u00a0 Why is this necessary?\u201d\u00a0 I often experience it as a slight shift of station.<\/p>\n

We can shift into what is going on spiritually that is coming into manifestation.\u00a0 That is one of the values in seeking the Traveler consciousness\u00a0and\u00a0understanding it works through anointing of the Holy Spirit.\u00a0 Physically, that is the Christ.\u00a0 It is anointing of Spirit.\u00a0 We would be infused in the awareness beyond what we can comprehend.\u00a0 Spirit can easily do that.<\/p>\n

Of course, our mind\u00a0can be blown\u00a0because it doesn\u2019t know how to comprehend this.\u00a0 It is not designed to contain the Spirit.\u00a0 Spirit is always pouring forth beyond any containment or condition.\u00a0 Spirit will work through containment, like it would work through the flesh.\u00a0 Then, our willingness can be just to do something like relax and be open to how the Spirit would conduct\u00a0us.<\/p>\n

At times people say, \u201cYou do channeling\u201d or something like that in an accusatory way.\u00a0 Sometimes I don\u2019t respond, letting them have their accusations.\u00a0 I\u2019m not here to defend or correct what\u00a0people\u00a0think.\u00a0 But sometimes I do respond, just by allowing myself to have more of the experience of what it is.\u00a0 I become one with it, so I know what it is in such a way that I am what that is.\u00a0 I don\u2019t look at it saying, \u201cNo, I\u2019m not,\u201d because it\u2019s often very new.\u00a0 It surpasses understanding.\u00a0 In my experience, I am way beyond understanding.<\/p>\n

I am not here to try to explain it to you.\u00a0 In a way, it would disrupt the experience.\u00a0 I would have to come down into the land of explanation to try to explain it to you.\u00a0 I would rather be soaring with Spirit. It may look like I\u2019m not doing much.\u00a0 Often, I\u2019m just allowing myself the experience to go in.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have much to say outwardly.<\/p>\n

But it is nice to meet you.<\/p>\n

God bless you.<\/p>\n

Blessing of Celebration
\nBy John Morton<\/h4>\n

Thank You, Lord, for immediately right now
\nin how You have prepared the way
\nalways inviting us into celebration
\nif we\u2019re willing to look into the highest consciousness
\nof who we are and that\u2019s within.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s in the Beloved who is the anointed one.
\nIt\u2019s in the Beloved who knows the way,
\nwho is the way and shows the way.<\/p>\n

So we look high into the highest in this moment.
\nAnd we find we are welcomed, we are embraced,
\nwe are invited to take hold of what it is.
\nSo we know consciously and directly
\nthis blessing of the breath, the holy breath,
\nis always with us.<\/p>\n

The consciousness of the Traveler is here
\nthrough the purple ray of this new age that we call the golden age
\nwith the Christ in all of what it is in manifesting for us.
\nIt shows what it is to be Beloved of God,
\nthat it is precious.
\nIt is full of wisdom.
\nIt is full of strength.
\nIt\u2019s full of the all the qualities that are loving, caring, and sharing.<\/p>\n

We ask whatever can be the blessing
\nso we are sustained, we are inspired.<\/p>\n

We take hold of what this is as a rod of power
\nand an instrument of grace.
\nThat we demonstrate we are the beloved.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a joy to be with you.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it for tonight.<\/p>\n
