Stillpoint is Not an Experience; It’s a Launch Pad

St. John: Tasting something I dont know

I still find myself unable to read news of the world or watch videos right now. I recommend Telegram as the best current news aggregator.

I’ve had a number of excellent conversations with you about stillpoint. I wanted to mention a few things as a result.

I don’t think I’ll feel able to leave the topic for a little bit yet. While I’m not in Stillpoint continuously, I seem to go in and out of it. My desire for news of the world hasn’t yet returned.

From my very brief experience, for which you were there, (1) Stillpoint showed up for me like Cape Canaveral. It was a staging ground, a launching pad.

In effect we let go of all our attachments to things and events that don’t lead us in the direction of the Divine. Loss upon loss until at last comes rest, Lao Tzu said.

I personally don’t use the word “zero point” because that seems to be associated in people’s minds with Ascension itself and Stillpoint is not Ascension.

Since usage is nine-tenths of the law in language, I’m not going to disturb it.

Stillpoint isn’t any of the 3D enlightenment experiences. It’s the foundation upon which these experiences occur. It’s the prerequisite, the precondition, the prelude to what follows.

Stillpoint is like standing on the ground at Cape Canaveral, in your space suit, waiting to mount the command module, strapped to a booster rocket that won’t go on the whole trip with you.

Houston has prearranged where you’re headed. They just want you to experience it and write about it.

Just as Cape Canaveral was a staging ground for outer-space exploration, (2) so Stillpoint is a staging ground for inner-space exploration.

How high and far I go seems to depend on a lot of factors. The purity and clarity of the spirit seems to be one; the depth of knowledge of love, another; my sense of my own personal strength, a third.

Houston’s plans for the occasion shape everything. What they can’t shape is my experience.  (3)

***

Standing on Cape Canaveral itself is not an experience. In fact you’re all alone out there on the runway. No one for miles. Desolate. It’s sensorily-deprived, so to speak.

So desolate that you say to yourself, “Mom, look where I ended up. I’m not sure it all worked out.”

This state, preliminary to experience and realization, is what St. John really meant by a “dark night of the soul,” not how we’ve interpreted it, as a burdensome challenge with potentially tragic or fatal results.

Out here on the tarmac, with no one around, no sounds, nothing to see, I ask myself: am I making the right choice? How will I get back? (4)

And then, presumably, off we’re launched either into a spiritual experience or an interdimensional jaunt.

Flight control didn’t seem to want me to launch today so they sent someone to knock on my front door at that exact moment and everything shut down.

How did St. John of the Cross put our state at that moment?

“Without a foothold you must seek Him out-
no face nor form, alone –
tasting there something I dont know
that one may come on randomly.” (5)

What he’s saying seems so obvious to me now, having experienced that state.

Without anything to use to discern or decide, without counsel, without perceptions and the evidence of the senses, alone, tasting there something he can’t find words to describe (and wouldn’t if he had), that one comes upon unexpectedly.

So here he was, without a foothold, alone, and then [subsequently, thereafter, separately] he tasted something he can’t describe.  Being alone, without a foothold, was a prerequisite; he was at the launch pad; and, when launched, St. John, I think, ascended.

How we get there will depend. Soon the energies will rise to the point where Stillpoint will be like Union Station. We’ll all be there going various places.

I have this vague, undeveloped thought that the ability to be in Stillpoint may turn out to be important, even necessary, for a successful interaction with our star family. That’s an untested hypothesis.


St. John left us a map of Mt. Carmel, the mythical mountain he climbed to reach God at the summit. Here’s that map of Mt. Carmel:

Mt. Carmel is the human body and he is the kundalini travelling up the spine to the crown of the head.

If he ascended, he would have gone beyond the ascent of Mt. Carmel, beyond the Third-Dimensional chakra system, beyond the marriage of Shiva and Shakti in the crown.

(3) Well, OK…. Turning a blind eye to 5G, MK Ultra, nanotechnology, spyware, drones, etc.  But of course, those are conspiracy theories. Audience Cue: Laugh.

(4)  We always remain connected by the silver cord. When it snaps, we can no longer re-enter our body and, given the general improvement in our circumstances, we soon forget about it and continue on.

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 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

The Divine Mother’s Mandate

  • 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.

Spiritual Advice in Troubled Times

  • The Arcturian Group explains….

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.
  • (Archangel Michael in a  personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, June 17, 2020.)

Archangel Michael: Do not Get Caught in the Drama of White Hats or Black Hats

  • Beloved ones, do not allow yourselves to be distracted, yes, by the chaos….
  • Do not get caught in the drama of white hats or black hats, or good guys or bad guys. All beings are birthed directly from the Heart of One…. (“Archangel Michael: Do not Get Caught in the Drama of White Hats or Black Hats,” Nov. 12, 2019; see here.

  • “I am now telling you what your mission is on Earth – it is to be an angel on Earth.

Werner Erhard on Responsibility

“Responsibility begins with the willingness to take the stand that one is cause in the matter of one’s life. It is a declaration not an assertion, that is, it is a context from which one chooses to live. Responsibility is not burden, fault, praise, blame, credit, shame or guilt. In responsibility, there is no….”  (Read more…)
