Steve Beckow: There aren’t Many Places in the Universe that Match this Blue Marble

There Aren’t Many Places in the Universe that Match This Blue Marble – Part 1

I’m feeling reflective today. Would you allow me?

It’s really quite an amazing world the Mother has built. (1) The atoms hold together. Everything is fashioned from the same basic, fractal element – love – and yet it’s all so different. (2)

We marvel at the shapes we see in flower petals and birds’ feathers and yet, when we go down even to the atomic level, we see the same shapes there too.

Things grow and then they decay and then they die. But life goes on, at all levels.  Hmmm….

Even though most of us have our bags packed and are looking forward to leaving this terrain, if one can disengage from being a part of it and see it as a bystander, it really is an amazing production.

Bravo, Divine Mother! Jai, Ma! And we’re told that there aren’t many places in the universe that match this Blue Marble.

I can believe it.

Fortunately we don’t have to travel light years, as we thought, to get to them. We’ll soon learn how to teleport and how to bend time and space, until we’re free of all of it in that higher dimension which is our destination.

I don’t know. I should be really excited about seeing new places. But I’m not. I’m excited about feeling new spaces and enjoying deeper and deeper experiences of love.

I can at this moment see why some monks are to be found in caves, not wanting to be disturbed from dwelling in love, bliss, and e*****y.  And I can see why we should grant them that peace. I’m sure they earned it through their spiritual work.

I’m also excited about writing about it! Love must flow and, I’ve discovered, it even flows in the act of writing. I am right now buoyed up by love which I’ve drawn up from my heart on my in-breath. It’s out to you on my out-breath – because it must flow. We get to experience it as it passes through us. (3)

From past experience I know that the Mother will allow me to go so far and no further. Partly to keep in sync with the group and partly so I don’t quit my soul contract and seek a cave. (4)

So I’m trying to catch the wave the Mother intends for me. No more, no less.

I’m a lightworker, one who knows the purpose of life (to discover who we truly are so that God can meet God in a moment of our enlightenment). (5) And service is not a “moment out” from the spiritual work of Self-Realization. It’s a path to it.

But I know very well that I can leave all matters of enlightenment to my Higher Self (whom I’ve seen in vision), (6) Archangel Michael, and the Mother. It’s not competition or distraction for me to keep my focus on my work.

Footnotes

(1)  For those for whom my use of language is new, Sri Ramakrishna explains the “difference” between the Father and the Mother:

He who is Brahman [God the Father] is addressed as the [God the] Mother. .. What is called Brahman in the Vedas is addressed by [Ramprasad in his devotional songs] as the Mother. He who is attributeless also has attributes. He who is Brahman is also Sakti. When thought of as inactive, He is called Brahman, and when thought of as the Creator, Preserver, and Destroyer, He is called the Primordial Energy, Kali. (Paramahansa Ramakrishna in Nikhilananda, Swami, t***s., The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna. New York: Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center, 1978; c1942, 107.)

(3) Archangel Michael: Love is the energy of the universe. It is the energy of the Mother. And it moves constantly, continually, eternally, infinitely. So, to have an experience of love, it [must move] through you.  [My emphasis.] (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Dec. 5, 2018.) (Hereafter AAM.)

AAM: Love is a fluid energy. It has need to flow and so when it does not flow it becomes… Well, as you put it, it be can become dry and brittle. It has need to be given and received above, below, within, without and in every which way. [My emphasis.] (AAM, April 30, 2019.)

(4) When I asked if my experience of the Self at Xenia on Sept. 18, 2018 had been toned down, she replied:

DM: It was not is brilliant as possible, let us put it that way.

Steve: Alright… And again, the reason is to keep me in sync with my readers?

Divine Mother: To keep you in sync with your readers. But let me be very clear…. If you had seen the light as it actually is – yes, a million, billion suns – you would have simply departed. …

We don’t mean die but you would have departed the life that you have designed – yes, with us – for yourself, for the service you are providing – you would have departed and simply said, ‘I do not need to do this. I will just simply sit in the bliss of love and good luck, everybody!’” (Divine Mother in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Oct. 26, 2018.)

There Aren’t Many Places in the Universe that Match This Blue Marble – Part 2

If we end up in the Seventh Dimension, that IS the dimension our Higher Self resides in. So, in reprinting an article on a vision of my Higher Self and what followed, I’m giving us a preview of ourselves.

“‘Is This What You’re Looking for?’ – Part 1/2, August 21, 2017, at https://goldenageofgaia.com/2017/08/21/289210/.

I was given a spiritual experience a few days back and, ever since, I’ve been searching for a way to describe and discuss it. …

As with all spiritual experiences, it didn’t come with a name, a map of the territory, or a handbook.

And it just keeps unfolding with the passing days, although I also imagine it can wane.

Here’s the sense I’ve made of it after a few days of it unfolding.
I had a vision of a man so noble that I could only stand there in awe.

The vision happened directly after invoking Michael and the Divine Mother and the Universal Laws of Change, Transmutation, and Elimination to take away all impurities.

This is the third spiritual experience I’ve had after invoking the universal laws: The first two were (A) Abundance as a state of being, and (B) Mastery as a state of being.

At first I gazed in wonder.  The thought that humans could reach such a level woke me up. I was so buoyed up from the experience that I never inquired as to the identity of the man.

Then, hours later, I intuited – or someone put the idea in my head – that it was a higher-dimensional version of me.  I have no idea whether it was my Oversoul or Universal Self. Let me just call it my “Higher Self.”

I decided to test out the idea that it was me. I tried it on and waited for my internal reaction.

Almost immediately a process began which I recognized. I’d been in it twice before. Upon recognizing bliss and peace, both engulfed me. Now that was happening here as well.

Upon trying on the notion that the man I saw in my vision was actually a higher-dimensional version of me, it and I began to merge.

How can I describe merging? Let me look for a metaphor that both of us can agree on. Here’s my metaphor, aimed at the experiential level. Remember that a metaphor only captures some of the similarities, not others.

Imagine a large piece of all-white blotting paper. Pristine and pure. Suddenly wet patches begin to show on it. Gradually wetness pervades the whole of the blotting paper.

I was that blotting paper and my Higher Self was the water. When I was soaked through and through, who was I? The “water” or the “blotting paper”? Or water-and-blotting-paper?

All I know is that, before the merging, there had been a subject and an object, me and the man in the vision. After recognizing it as my Higher Self and merging with it, as I did with experiences of bliss and peace, there was only a subject (me).

It feels as if the everyday man is the one that remains. I hear Michael saying that I need to keep my feet on the ground. And, for many reasons, I do.

To return to the vision, when I saw my Higher Self, I was awestruck.  I saw a knight in shining armor, mounted on a white horse and holding a lance.

Our Higher Selves are magnificent. It’s just as Sanat, Jesus, and all the masters say: We truly are great masters on the higher planes. Oh, my gosh, I hope people can hear me.

Those aspects are us. We are One and connected.
