The Blessing and Virtue of Love, Part 1
Part one is our intro as well as Sananda’s message. Part two is our questions and callers.
SM: Good morning and welcome to another offering of Heavenly Blessings with Linda Dillon, the channel for the Council of Love and author of The Great Awakening, and myself Suzanne Maresca, sitting in for GD.
Today we’ll be speaking about the practicality of love with Jesus Sananda. I think this is a timely reminder of how we can best navigate the waters of Ascension by returning to our original Divine blueprint.
Love is the answer to every question and I’m looking forward to Yeshi (Yeshua) offering guidance on our movement to embrace love and unity – at the very least because doing so makes our experience here so much more wonderful. Good morning, Linda!
LD: Good morning, Suzi. What a lovely introduction. And so, today is the day we get to talk with Jesus Sananda about love. Or Yeshi, or a combination thereof. But before we do, I wanted to bring up something from the last live show, when we were talking about guides.
We discussed the fact that there are times when people want to fire their guides. Whether they wish to do that or not, our guides still continue on with us. They may go quiet, they may stand back, but they’re continually there and always will be because they’ve been with us since the very beginning.
And you and I were talking about how that “firing” just doesn’t happen. And we laughed, because it’s one of those human ego things that sometimes we think about in a certain way. I apparently hurt at least one person’s feelings and she actually thought that I was talking about her, and of course I wasn’t.
Because lots and lots of people over the years who have said “I want to fire my guides, I want to change my guides, I’m not happy with what’s going on, I don’t feel like I’m being helped….” In fact what I was sharing with you, Suzi, before we got started was that I’ve even had clients who want to fire some of the spirits like Jesus Sananda or Saint Germaine because healing hasn’t taken place or because things haven’t manifested.
So I wanted to bring it up because first of all I would never want to hurt anyone’s feelings. And it also brings up that topic of “don’t take it personally” because when we’re talking in these generalities and the teachings of the Council of Love and universal teachings about love, it is never our intention or our purpose to single someone out or to mock them or chide them. That just is not in the agenda. So my apologies if you took it that way or if I presented it that way. It certainly wasn’t my intent.
SM: When someone takes a word or an action from someone else in a personal way, and this is a really hard thing for people to get, chances are it has its roots in an event that happened to that person taking the thing personally. It’s worth tracking – to go back and see what kind of event or series of events that happened in the past to make you feel that it was directed toward you in a critical manner. We were just giggling about humanity and how funny we are sometimes in our lack of understanding. That certainly isn’t to be ridiculed ~ it’s just a human thing. It’s who we are.
LD: And I think sometimes, too, that if we don’t laugh about it, if we don’t look at ourselves and laugh, it’s like we could very quickly descend into tears and crying. Because we’ve all had those times where we have been disappointed and perhaps we don’t understand why something isn’t transpiring the way that we think we’ve understood, or that we wanted it to, that we’re trying to create it to. And so that’s when we have to stand back and say “well, I guess there’s a bigger plan.” I’m not suggesting that that is always easy, because it isn’t. I think that’s probably one of the biggest lessons I’ve ever learned.
SM: Well, we’re being asked at this time in so many different ways to trust and have faith, and that’s our biggest way of stepping into our power. But it’s not easy, because we don’t have evidence that trusting and having faith really goes very well.
LD: The other piece of this is that humanity tends to forget the really good stuff and the blessings that we do get, each and every day. You know there’s that statement “what have you done for me lately?” – we tend to be like that. Because we are in this process; we are in this vulnerable state where we are perceiving based on guidance, on faith, and navigating this human life in this world that sometimes doesn’t make sense. But if we don’t have that, and we don’t have love, which I guess is the segue to today’s topic. Then what do we have.
SM: As we’re talking it’s coming to me that it’s easier and safer for some people to keep their power at bay; to not have that inner understanding and trusting that we have everything we need inside of us. It’s much easier to let ourselves be led into something, so that’s the way we’ve been conditioned – Do as you’re told, listen to what I say is true – and just be happy with that. So it’s not the easiest thing to break away from that mindset; we’re moving into it now, that sovereign beingness.
LD: We’ve been doing this webinar class called The New You – here’s the plug for Joshua Tree – but really this has been 50 incredibly brave souls. And the work that we’ve done together and supported each other in doing has been phenomenal.
What we’ve found, because this group was already a very advanced group of people who had really been doing their work for years in one way or another, is really interesting. The big issue that has come up has been this clearing of false grids, and the letting go of these paradigms, these illusions that have been the structure of fields or dimensions.
And that issue of control and “do what I say,” this whole illusion of separation “that I am alone” and that’s the frustration that comes forward with that – whether it’s the company of heaven, particular masters or guides – is that on the one hand we know that we’re sovereign and that everything we need is inside of us, and on the other hand there is this vulnerable child and we want the help, or ask for the help – we’re begging for the help sometimes. And then if it doesn’t come immediately or in the way that we believe we need, we’re hurt.
And so one of the things that we fall back into is the emotional fight or flight. And so often if we’re saying “well I’m not going to talk to those guides anymore” – it’s a flight reaction. Or even a fight reaction. But the point is that with or without our guides, we’re still going forward. And it’s not that they’re not still there helping us; they may not be as obvious, but they’re still like the parent standing behind the bicycle making sure that if you wobble their hand is on the seat.
SM: I think a vital part of the process of asking for help is being able to let go of how the help shows up and just be open and available to when and how it shows up, to allow it to happen instead of trying to control the situation.
LD: Usually when it does show up, and I say “when it shows up,” it’s usually way better than you could possibly have imagined. And the number of variables that need to be put into place in order for that to transpire are really beyond our imagination.
SM: I think that’s something hard for us to grasp at this point; that there are things that are beyond us at this point and that for me, I seem to come to a deeper realization every day; I get more and more profound information all the time, but as more information comes in, it helps me to realize that there’s so much more that I don’t know.
LD: Yes. Yesterday on An Hour With An Angel with Sanat Kumara, one of the questions was, and I’m paraphrasing here because I never exactly remember what I channel, what was the impact of our Ascension, of Gaia and ourselves, on the Universe. Now sometimes when I’m channeling I’m just getting the video; I’m sitting here watching the movies as it were, and I’m seeing planets realigning and gaseous matters taking form, and these are things that we couldn’t even begin to understand. It’s a very cool time to be alive.
SM: I think I shared with you a vision that I had of the inside of the Earth being like concentric balls of crystals that are just rotating in many different ways and from a 3D perspective it’s like “oh yeah, sure like that’s going to happen” but there are so many things that we’re being protected from. Like this could really blow our minds if we really knew what was going on.
LD: I’m sure that those concentric crystal circles are going on. It’s the realignment of the grids and the movement of Gaia, so that made perfect sense to me when you said that. But you’re right – sometimes it’s too much information.
SM: That’s one of the reasons why I say I don’t want the details; I’m just doing my work, keeping myself as happy and carefree as possible for the remainder of our duration here. And I’m not going to spin my wheels to try to figure things out because I know I can’t at this point. With my current physiology, I’m just going to relax.
LD: Have a good time, or at least try to.
SM: So, back on topic: In my perception, we’re all on the same path, but with different perceptions of that path and our place in it. So that’s the path back to Source energy and to God. The Mother loves all creation without reservation, so in our natural course of service of course we’ll be learning to do the same. And in stepping into the loving of everything that is, it really makes life a lot better for us. And I hope to be having a really interesting discussion today.
LD: I think this interesting discussion is going to take place. And it’s going to take place pretty quickly here. I’m being shoved out of the way.
SM: Perhaps you could say really quickly the difference between Jesus and Jesus Sananda; that Sananda is perhaps his higher aspect?
LD: It’s an integrated aspect. It’s more of a source/multiverse aspect. So yes; but, also Sananda is a soul name. And so in just the same way, each of us has an angelic name – a soul name or a number of names that we’re known by throughout the universe.
Sananda is the name by which Jesus is known in the higher realms. So it’s the integrated energy of Jesus. When we think of Jesus, I think of Yeshua, or Yeshi as he likes to be called, that we think of this being, this man, the prophet, that came and walked the earth very much in his mastery but also very much in his humanness. He had human emotions, a human experience, the trials and tribulations that all of us go through.
Now is there probably more access to that divine self than we’ve knowingly had? Perhaps. But we are getting to that point and that’s what we’re really doing together on this show. We may be sharing insights and experiences and gleaning information, but what we’re really doing energetically with the Council is anchoring that vibration and that acceptance of our totality.
So when Jesus Sananda speaks, he will often speak on his human experiences as Jesus because he wants us to be able to understand that he knows what it’s like to be human. If he was to talk about what it was like in other dimensions or realities or even planetary systems or universes that we don’t have any knowledge of, it might be interesting but it wouldn’t compute and it wouldn’t hit home.
But make no mistake about it that when he comes to us and says “I am Yeshua,” it is the Full Monty of the energy of Jesus Sananda that’s coming through and being penetrated right into your heart. That’s the gift as we listen and as we chat. It’s the same as when we channel the Divine Mother or she comes through as Universal Mother Mary. It’s the energy brought down into the human realm so that we have that experience, that we can connect with.
But that big energy, that massive energy – I mean talk about beyond our comprehension – is still coming through. It’s just being managed in a way that we can receive it and integrate that knowingness, the love, and the love that’s out there for us into our very core.
SM: Thank you for that image of the Full Monty. It gave me a great giggle. So, shall we begin?
(If you wish to do the meditation from this show, it begins at minute mark 20:20.)
JS: Greetings. I am Jesus Sananda. I am Sananda and yes, like each of you, of course there is a higher aspect and it is infinite and it is eternal and it is concrete and it is loving. And yes, sweet angels, it is even practical.
And I come to you this day as brother, as an ally and friend. Those of you who have walked with me and shared my love so many times on and off planet, in and out of form, our bond does not diminish and if anything it strengthens. Because the time will come when I also will walk Gaia yet again.
I have an agreement – yes, even we have agreements – with the Divine Mother that I will not assume a form until love reigns and that is much closer than you think. For do not forget, my beloved friends, that not only do I see into your heart and your being, I also know your heart and your being.
So much is changing and shifting very rapidly upon your Gaia, upon our Gaia. And it is more profound and rapid than you think. And yes, partially because you are being confined in your understanding of your neighborhood as it were. And by the confines of time and space. So I ask you to accept this, yes on trust, on faith, but also in friendship and familial love. The change is underway and it is swift and it is unstoppable.
Now I come to speak to you this day about the practicality of love. For love is the practical choice. So often you are seeking the secrets of divinity, the understanding of Universal Law, of how things work throughout the multiverse; of how you will ascend, what that process physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, will look like. But I wish to bring it down to the nuts and bolts and that is the practicality. It only makes sense in any reality above, below or anywhere in between, that the only choice – the only practice – the only state of being in which you can maintain yourself is by choosing love. It is that straightforward and it is that simple.
So often I hear your prayers and they are ardent and fervent and genuine. And you wish to understand what you think of, and I use that word, what you think of as the mysteries of the universe. When you practice love – when you simply choose and incorporate into your being, every action, every thought, every expression – love, the mysteries disappear. The complexities that you often assign to the universe disappear.
When you do not choose love, what you are truly doing is making your life more difficult than it needs to be. In your old Third reality, so much effort, so much energy went into the maintaining of these false grids and illusions. And what did this do? What did this accomplish? Well, it accomplished a great deal.
It accomplished false institutions, false understandings of how relationships work or don’t work, false understandings about what you are capable of or not capable of; the most destructive from my perspective is the belief that you would have to earn love. And that is not so. So when you choose to simply be who you are, then what you are doing is simplifying your life because in that choice you are choosing love. And you are eliminating the drama, the chaos, the uncertainty, and everything that is not of wholeness.
Now you both (Suzanne and Linda) have spoken this morning about uncertainty. And this is a theme right now that the human collective is dealing with. And it is part of the release and final clearing of this lack of love. Because uncertainty means “I am not positive about the outcome; therefore what I am doing is I am stuck. I am stuck in worry and fear and anxiety and I am fearful of moving backwards or forwards rather than living in the present because I am not sure, I am not certain.”
But when you are in the practicality of simply being love in your breath, in your heart, in your thoughts, in your actions, and, yes, these are choices, make no mistake about it; then all of that uncertainty, all that worry and insecurity simply disappears because there is no place for it. Because if you are of love, regardless of the trappings of whatever outcome you are involved in, the bigger understanding of Ascension and the fact that it will be of love because it is a mirror of how you are, who you are and how you operate within the multiverse, within the infinity, then you have let go of everything that has ever plagued you.
It is true there is a human inclination to want to know. I understand that and I have lived that. But, dear heart, you will still only know a portion of the outcome. We can describe what lies ahead just as I can describe what lies beyond for hours and hours, days and centuries, but the ingredient that matters in that formulation of what lies ahead, is you. And if you are spending your time and energy in uncertainty, insecurity, fear and worry, then that is what you are doing. That is what you are creating. And that is not practical.
Knowing that you exist infinitely and eternally, I also want you to focus on this life. This life that you have created and chosen with us, with your guides, with those you journey with. Because this is the moment that you are in. That is what we mean when we are talking about the eternal now. It is not a beginning and an ending. It is all right now. But in your framework, your understanding, all you have is this very moment.
So in this moment, do you choose love or do you choose worry? Do you choose hatred or control or greed or distrust. There really isn’t any choice when I put it that way, is there?
When I walked as Yeshua, as Yeshi, both my Magdalena and I had a clear understanding of what lay ahead. And we could have decided not to come together, not to share our hearts, or our love. We could have chosen not to create a family so that we could independently simply worry about what lay ahead. And we could worry and complain about persecution and unfairness and injustice.
And then I would have defeated, yes defeated, my very purpose in coming. Because I would not have chosen love.
When I walked with my apostles, disciples, my family, I could have said “well I know the time will come when some of you will deny or betray me so I am not going to break bread with you now; I am not going to share a cup of wine with you now because you say you are my friend but I know I am going to be heartily disappointed later.”
Well, I was never disappointed. Because I knew the love was always there. This is the thing I wish to address. Because you have skirted it. You have said that there are times when people can disappoint you. Well, dear heart, that is simply not true.
You can choose to be disheartened or disappointed and you can choose to feel betrayed. But what does that do? It robs you of your love and your moment. So, yes, I am badgering you on a theme here today.
Each and every breath, every moment of your existence, makes the practical easy. An easy choice: to choose love. Yes, it is easy. It is far more difficult to stir up wrath, or fear, than to simply stay in your heart in the knowing that you – your core – is love. It is who you are. And the more you accept and know that, the more it comes to you, the more you generate. You send it out to the planet, and then you all ascend together. It is as simple as that.
