To Be or Not to Be Transparent

As a follower of the path of awareness, I’ve always valued transparency. The more I ventured into awareness, the wider my eyes became to see what one could be transparent about, how open and visible one could be, and what the wonderful advantages were of being clear and open..

Also, having grown up in a household which, like many of that day, kept the “family secrets” to itself, I doubly preferred transparency and in fact swore that I’d never again be prevailed upon to keep silence when I didn’t feel it served life or aliveness.

And then again, as a late-blooming flower child, I also valued “letting it all hang out.”

But I think we can all see that many things cannot be shared in the lightwork that we’re doing today.

The populace at large probably still fears extraterrestrials. We need to be careful that we don’t speak loosely or in ways that might excite fear when no fear is warranted.

The populace could be turned into a vengeful mob if some matters relating to justice were openly or loosely discussed. There are still members of the cabal around, black operatives, and shils.

And then there’s us as lightworkers.

Archangel Michael has been telling me things about myself in a kind of slow, progressive disclosure. And I’m not the only one, by any stretch of the imagination. Everyone around me seems to be learning more about themselves.

You heard the Mother on Monday’s Hour with an Angel (1) say that all of us, not our neighbors, not the leaders in Ottawa, Washington and Geneva, are well equipped to serve our roles, let me put it that way. OK, so she actually said possessed of divine might. Those are not words to be taken lightly.

Each time AAM adds another detail to my knowledge of my background, it takes a few days to adjust.

We’ve all had past lives on Earth and past lives on other planets. We all have dimensional identities, soul contracts – even one’s real or soul name – that cannot or should not be openly shared and discussed – not now anyways.

It wouldn’t work to share it, not for quite a while yet, in my opinion. Some people have shared details like that and it just made their lives more difficult. And it made their work more difficult as well. So, no, circumspection is a good thing in the jobs we all do or will do.

You can see that Sanat Kumara, Archangel Michael, and even the Divine Mother are breaking news to us as a world one step at a time. I asked the Mother if she had any more secrets after this current round and she replied by telling us the biggest secret – but not all the secrets I presume are in between.

I’d imagine we as a soul group need to adjust to each fresh revelation just as we as individuals do. I also think that if the whole matter were simply divulged all at once, many people would simply roll their eyes and go fishing. Each fresh piece of news is more mind-bending than the last and it probably works to let us digest and assimilate it one item at a time.

For me, I watched the number of incarnated angels go up and up and up. Then it was seraphim and elohim who were revealed. I remember my eyes rolling at some of this until Archangel Michael confirmed it.

Then we discovered that we’re a goodly portion of the masters returning. And now we’re hearing about the mechanics of incarnation – of “emanations” or “replicas.” Heaven knows what we’ll hear about next.

And if you look closely, I think we can see a correlation between what is disclosed and the level of the rising energy. I feel myself almost expanding slowly like a balloon that’s being gradually blown up. I feel much less judgmental than I did. And I observe myself holding back in situations where I’d almost, in days gone by, mouth off or worse.

There are definitely changes happening, expansion occurring, growth taking place. And while it’s not fast enough for me, and may not be for you either, it’s happening.

So I just want to acknowledge that, even though I began this work intending to be as transparent as possible, the further forward we go, the more it becomes clear that prudence, restraint and circumspection are also needed.

I’m happy to say that in reaching a place of appreciating the need for circumspection, I wasn’t pushed or shoved, was never read the Riot Act, and was never reminded of my duty. I was allowed to make my own mistakes and have never been criticized when I did.

And I’m now sold on the need for prudence. I, a person who would have bridled at anyone telling him what to do, just may have matured a little along the way, in the midst of having fun and serving wonderful, wonderful leaders.

So this is me making my peace with a lost dream – of total openness, transparency, visibility. But this is also me seeing the wider prize, a prize that’s available to every one of us as a society – emergence from a world that was so filled with suffering and misery that drastic measures like total transparency were our best tools and sometimes even our best weapons.

Only the love I feel these days, the bliss, the satisfaction makes the letting go of this tightly-held dream of total openness feel alright. Goodbye to a transparency that was every bit as unrelenting and non-negotiable as the authoritarian control and repression it was designed to counter. Goodbye to an attitude, which so tightly held, would have worked against the larger necessities.

In fact, this life lived in the middle, a life of dedication to the Light and to wherever the Light leads, was really, I think, what I was looking for all along. Here I am by a circuitous route, but tamed and wiser and ready now to serve.
