Every Vasana Has a Silver Lining

June 8, 2017 by Steve Beckow

For some reason unknown to me, I’ve always emphasized going deeper rather than going higher.

I see a thread going back through time. I suppose it’s because in past lives I’ve emphasized profundity and profundity means depth.

In this life I’ve always been interested in the deepest wisdom, the deepest experience, and the deepest realization.

At the same time, I have a job to do and the job doesn’t always allow unbridled pursuit of my own lines of inquiry and experience. When I go too far too fast, I get “toned down.”

I could be a child about it and go recklessly fast, seeing how much I can slip past the guard. Or I can be an adult and get that I’m responsible for my mission. That means that I need to take over as much of the task of being appropriate to the job as I can.

Again, if we’re looking for threads, my preference for awareness as a path capitalizes on a vasana. I said earlier that every vasana has a silver lining. We perfect a new skill or meet new kinds of people or learn valuable life lessons.

My vasana was the scared wolf, the ever-vigilant one, looking to avoid a slap or kick. The vigilant one excels in awareness.

I like to think that I’ve cleansed that awareness of its fear-based coloring and now have what I also like to think of as a relatively-strong ability to concentrate my awareness and go deep.

I’m making lemonade out of lemons, as we all do when we emerge from our vasanas. We find that we’re left with a lifeskill or a blessing in some other form.

Archangel Michael: Everything that has need to be eliminated, everything that has need to be relinquished, everything that has need to be healed in this cesspool that we call ‘chaos’ has need to come to the surface.
Otherwise – and this has happened many, many times in human history – what happens is there is a belief [that] there is a healing, an accommodation, a remedy, and then the human collective tends to think, ‘Okay, now it is cleaned up. Now it is healed. Now it is done.’
But the core – the core issues of the collective, and of course of the individuals – has not been addressed, and therefore it simply settles in and it festers.

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.

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.

Archangel Gaia said
“I am now telling you what your mission is on Earth – it is to be an angel on Earth.
“You do not have to change the people around you; you do not have to get involved in politics, or that kind of activity.
“What you are meant to do here as a lightworker is to anchor a certain vibration.”
