What is Mastery?

June 15, 2016 by Steve Beckow

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

1101241509571sacred_geometry_23-300x300 As far back as 2013, Archangel Michael summoned lightworker leaders to their chosen missions:

“It is imperative that there be Masters of Light/Warriors of Spirit ready to step into leadership roles – those who are willing to boldly lead the way into the new realms of existence that have been prepared for ascending humanity.” (1)

Elsewhere we looked closely at his discussion of the need for leadership. Perhaps here we can look more at his concept of mastery. The two discussions are intertwined so it won’t be completely possible to separate them.

I asked him on An Hour with an Angel in 2015 what mastery was and he replied:

“You will be surprised at the simplicity of my answer. Mastery is the acceptance, surrender, and embodiment in form of you – as [your] design, as love.” (2)

Acceptance of and surrender to our natural design? How surprising is that? What? No achievement? No accomplishment?

I asked him if surrender and acceptance happened by a process of emergence or breakthrough and he replied:

“It is through the process of surrender. It is [through] the process of elimination. It is [through] the process of illumination into emergence. And that is where you are, most of you, right now. That is why we are saying, if you are not there, do the elimination and [emerge]. We are here to help.

“And through emergence, you have become what you have thought of as the ascended being, the mastery of your being, of who you are in that mastery, in that emergence into the truth – because there is only one truth. There’s not this truth or that truth. There’s not this love or that love.” (3)

So mastery is surrendering to who we are, who we were designed to be – and we know that’s love. Sahaja samadhi, the gateway to moksha (liberation) and true Fifth Dimensionality, simply means our natural state (sahaja = natural). And our natural state is love.

Mastery means emerging from all that we were never designed to be – polarized, separative, suspicious, manipulative, all the ways we practiced in Third Dimensionality, not so very long ago – into all that we were designed to be – our natural state of love for everything that is.

He tells us what happens when we love consistently.

“When you emerge and stay in that frequency, in that energy, then what happens is the whole tableau, the whole realm of understanding of what you think of as enlightenment or vision or wisdom opens up so that you are not seeking elsewhere.” (5)

We don’t need to worry that serving as lightworkers will have us miss out on enlightenment. We don’t need to seek anything else elsewhere, he tells us. Our lightwork preparation for mastery/leadership by surrendering into love will bring us all things.

And our work doesn’t mean the loss of our individuality and gifts either, he says:

“That does not mean that the honoring of unique qualities, of the contributions that every single being has given to this become of no meaning. In fact they gain greater meaning because you truly begin to see in your mastery the fullness and the mastery of all.”  (6)

So many of our leaders have been revealed as egomaniacs. It’s hard to find a few who aren’t. He says that that won’t be the way of the future. In the future, all of us will serve as gentle leaders and good shepherds in areas that appeal to us.

“Mastery, leadership is not about becoming an egomaniac. It is about becoming the shepherd. It is about becoming the gentle leader who serves his people – her people – and shows them the way. And if it is the way to the table, if it is the way to the boat, if it is the way to their heart, then this is your way. This is the choice of your divinity and your mastery.” (7)

Finally, individual mastery leads to collective mastery. Mastery spreads in the right environment and now is certainly the right environment. He tells us:

“When we speak of mastery, again we speak of the individual coming to the place of their mastery. But as you go forward as a collective, you then become an expression, a collective, a circle, a massive circle of mastery, each in your own particular chosen realms.” (8)

Thus, mastery entails surrender into our original design, the truth of who we are. That truth is love. It doesn’t change from person to person. It’s true for all of us.

Mastery and leadership are not about egomania; they aren’t about “me.” They’re about becoming the gentle leader and the good shepherd to others – at the front of the line and the rear, there for others.  It’s about love and service, melded together.

Our ego complains and tells us to turn from this path of letting go. But our native courage tells us to persevere and reach the destination of surrender into our native state of love.

(3) Loc. cit. You might not notice the kindness he’s doing me here. I’ve used the term “emergence” and he knows I’ve written about it. So is he here giving me a big boost by using the term repeatedly, by inference, supporting its use? I think he is. This is such a typical indication of his generosity. I could cite numerous examples of it.

What is the Purpose of Life?

The purpose of life is enlightenment, to know who we truly are. When one of us realizes who we are, God meets God. And for that meeting was all of this created.

A tsunami of [lovelight’s] high vibrations is the means whereby violence will be ended.  (Matthew’s Message, Nov. 1, 2023.)

Matthew Ward: Nothing with Low Vibrations….

“This is the physics that governs life in this universe. As Earth continues apace into successively higher planes, nothing with low vibrations in any form – physical bodies, subversive plans, theft, dishonesty, unjust laws and imprisonment, bigotry, cruel customs and deeds – can survive.”  – Matthew’s Message, March 1, 2012,  at https://www.matthewbooks.com.

True Freedom Comes from Spiritual Surrender

Observe and Love Without Getting Involved

  • The low vibrations of control, greed and deception are being overcome by the high vibrations of self-confidence, optimism and freedom as more and more of Earth’s peoples are absorbing light.
  • Light, the same energy as love, is Creator, the Source of All That Is—that is who you are, who every soul in the cosmos is—and the light you radiate is helping Earth’s peoples awaken into that reality.
  • By observing the ongoing drama of this process but not being drawn into it, you are further empowering yourselves, the peoples, and all other light beings in this universe. (Matthew’s Message, Sept. 1, 2022.)

All of life is embarked on the same one journey – from God to God – a voyage of Self-discovery

The Pattern of the Mother

  • This universe is designed around the pattern of the Divine Mother. What is that pattern?
  • Creation, preservation, transformation = love building, love preserving, love dissolving = inbreath, pause, outbreath = rajas, sattwa, thamas (gunas) = Akar, Ukar, Makar (Aum) = Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva (Trimurthy)
  • One more?
  • Father, Son, and Holy Ghost = Brahman, Atman, and Shakti

Divine Mother: Not in My Plan?

  • Divine Mother: [I am speaking about] those in … positions where control and abuse of power have been rampant. That will not be the platform [from] which integration of the various galaxies [into the new, interdimensional region of space] takes place. That is not the Plan.
  • I know very clearly, Sweet One, as do you, if it is not [in] my Plan, then it will not occur. …
  • Make no mistake, … Love will win because that has been my Plan always.
  • (The Divine Mother in “Enter the Delegations – Part 2/3,” May 5, 2019, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2019/05/05/enter-the-delegations-part-2-3/.)

The Mother’s Clarion Call to All of Humanity!

This is my clarion call to all of humanity to embrace love, to embrace truth, to embrace peace…

The Divine Mother’s Mandate

  • Build what is divinely beautiful. I give you my divine authority to do so. I will guide you. I will help you. But I entrust this to you as well. …
  • We are helping you. That gateway is open and you are being flooded and you are being assisted and you will be assisted every step of the way.

Bring It Back to the Love

  • Beloved child, son of my heart, [Ascension, spiritual evolution] is only about love, about the many expressions, about the many forms.
  • And truly of anchoring and being nothing but the love, in intellect, in wisdom, in sharing, in adventure, in relationship.
  • It can only be [that way] when you continue to bring all adventures, all arguments, all explorations back to the love.
  • (The Divine Mother in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, April 30, 2019; also at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2019/06/01/the-divine-mother-it-is-all-a-journey-of-love/).

Do not Venture Where There is No Love

  • Do not venture where there is no love. Because, if there is no love, then there is no truth. And if there is no truth, there will not be peace and [peace], Sweet One, is the Plan.

“Responsibility begins with the willingness to take the stand that one is cause in the matter of one’s life.
