Mars: It Is Time To Begin

There is a great golden circle that carries deep meaning, the cycle of seasons, lightness and darkness, the unity of the Ring and much more.  Apollo stands at the top of that circle and lights the way, and people love to follow him.  I stand at the very bottom and steer.  We both love being where we are and we work quite well together.

My brother speaks well of the powerful changes taking place on your planet.  I come with advice on how to make use of these gifts.  I have practical steps for you and a three-point plan: Perception, Reception and Action.

You may ask how the God of War got into spiritual advancement.  In fact I have been here all along.  Before the Roman army arose I was still all about getting things done in practical, tangible terms.  In those days that was largely agriculture and livestock, but also family relationships, bonding, loving, raising young adults who were cool and self sufficient, and who would go out into the world and help others when their time came.  Spiritual power has always been a part of this.

This month was named after me because it is time to begin new initiatives.  It was planting time, it was the start of military campaigns.  Now is a good time for new steps toward your own spiritual growth.  It is the most important thing you will ever pursue.  The energy of the season is strong, and the universe will add its force to your efforts. 

Focus on setting the strategy for your own advancement.  You need to participate in the planning of your own cosmic growth.  And if you would fight against anything, fight against the forces within yourself that prevent greater love, more blessings, wisdom, scope of vision. 

Perception

Every blessing which could possibly further your highest and greatest good is already available to you now.  There is a Great River of cosmic abundance which comes from the central first source of all energy in the cosmos, and it flows directly and individually straight to you.  We tend this river, I and my fellow guides out here, we keep it clear and add blessings specifically for you.  They are the exact right gifts for you at the exact right time.

Your best first skill to develop is the vision to see these gifts.  Ask the Universe for perception, adopt the firm intention to recognize the blessings that are coming, to clearly see them, to recognize their value and to know this quick enough to pick them up while the opportunity still exists.  We can offer you the following training plan to develop this.

Gratitude allows you to see more blessings.  To develop gratitude, find one blessing that has come to you today.  Then look within yourself for the gratitude that will naturally arise in response to that blessing, in response to your seeing, your recognition of that blessing.  It does not matter where you start, just find one and feel your response to it. 

Then do it again.  See if you can find five blessings and truly feel the gratitude for each of them.  You will be training yourself to find blessings in this way.  As you continue, the depth and scope of these blessings will increase and you will find more of them all the time.  Before long you will surprise yourself by saying, "Oh my God, what blessing that just was!  That one came to me from somewhere beyond this planet - oh, thank you!  I am so deeply grateful!"

Reception

Next you need to accept the gift, and this is not always a trivial thing to do.  There are things that get in the way of smooth easy reception and one of them includes thoughts about deserving.  Usually it's not as black and white as, "Oh gee, I don't really deserve that," usually it's a feeling of having to earn it.  There are things that have to be earned, like paychecks, but these blessings are not like that.  You have already made it to this planet, that is deserving enough.  These blessings are part of the package you signed up for. 

Please believe us: Our gifts come to you at the right time and they are the right gifts for you.  How could there possibly be a God-given gift which is wrong?  If it comes from us, it's right.  If you disagree with the selection, please consider carefully who probably knows best around here.

The step of receiving may take courage because the best blessings can change things.  But our gifts can also include the pathway toward smooth change, a willingness to easily let go of old ideas, and an eagerness to move forward.  You can search for these specific blessings and they will be found.  You already know they are out there.

We will ask you to abandon all ideas of selfishness in this area.  You are supposed to pick these things up and enjoy them fully for yourself in the same way you are supposed to put on your own oxygen mask first, before you can help others in the airplane.  Love the blessings and let them love you because that's how they work.

Seek to establish your many blessings deep within yourself and enjoy the gratitude that will surely come.  Your joy will fill you and it will flow through you.  Others will see it, at least some will, and you will be improving the atmosphere by simply sitting there and glowing.  Full reception is a critical first step and it cannot be skipped.

Action

It's not the only step.  In your path of growth you will grow more aware of the value of service, the incredible sense of joy that comes to one who can help somebody, somewhere, to do something good.

There are those who already want to save the world, and some need to be reminded to improve their own internal conditions first.  Some need to be stirred to get up and into action.  And some need to find that special, unique gift which only they can provide.  Some need to realize that the world only needs a few Ghandis or Buddhas, and Christs - and you can add quite a lot without waiting to achieve that first.

Remember that you will improve the atmosphere right away even if you just sit there and glow.  You will help others in this way.  Some may seek it eagerly and grow before your very eyes.  Some may become dimly aware, slowly learning to see, and some may not be ready.  You cannot choose which ones you may help.  You will often not even know you've helped someone.  That's okay, don't insist on that, it will hold you back.  Just keep doing it and don't quit.

The more you share your blessings, the deeper they will become.  They say much is expected of those to whom much is given.  This is true and it goes both ways.  Much more is given to those who provide for the highest and greatest good of others.  Great gifts will await the truly helpful.

So we speak of perception, to see the abundance flowing through this Great River specifically for you.  We speak of reception, to enable yourself to own your gifts and fully enjoy them.  We speak of action, to let your own unique blessings flow freely from you, out into the Great River again to provide even more blessings for you and others.

Many have added their sacred gifts to this Great River before it came to touch your heart.  Now you have the privilege of becoming a contributor also, of becoming a co-creator, forming the Universe's blessings.  There can be no more profound graduation than this.
