Rob: So as I stand in the center space of my temple with the Mighty Ones all around — Archangels Mikael, Raphael, Uriel, Jophiel, Gabrielle — I ask to experience what Unity Consciousness actually means. Intellectually, I get it. We are all one. I feel that I need to understand more than from an intellectual level. I ask for your help today. As your servant, I surrender, allow, trust.
I am thinking of my teammates, teammates in the past, in fact, all of the people that have come into my life, into my awareness, into my experience, since I’ve been a teacher. I get the sense that we are all on this journey together, all on the same team as teammates, some more close than others.
Mighty Ones: So one level of unity is operating with others at a common cause and purpose, so long as we are unified in what that purpose is, but there is no doubt that we all came here with the same purpose — to assist humanity in this transition. But we all have our positions to play, as it were — our specific focus based on our strengths. While we may be different, even at the spiritual level, based on what gifts we choose to express, we can still have a unified purpose.
Rob: But this notion of turmoil in the world, how do we unify that?
Mighty Ones: Everyone is operating from a similar perspective — that is, they believe they are doing the right thing, that the only way forward that they can see is within their particular belief system. Yes, some are blind to the full scope of events as they are transpiring — the issues with the current system — but that is only what you see on the surface. They may be taking an entrenched position as their act of service. Do not judge.
Rob: But how do I feel AT ONE with them, seemingly on the opposite end of the spectrum of belief … or even this rock I am holding in my hand.
Mighty Ones: It requires you to step outside of yourself, to view the events of the world from the perspective that you are that expression of Divine Love … as are they, or it, if it seems to be an inanimate object. In reality, there is no such thing as an inanimate object. If you are holding it in your hand, then it is animated with the same Divine Love that animates you.
Feel the rock in your hand. Feel the energy in your own body.
Rob: [I pause to feel for a while] Perhaps we take a different tack. Can you simply flood my heart with that feeling of oneness with you? I can imagine myself with you, each of you, individually, standing in front of me. Gabrielle, help me to take that next step. Help me to understand how to step aside fully to allow you to cohabitate with me.
AA Gabrielle: If you can allow any member of the Company of Heaven to come in and speak with you, then you can do the same with any object, any other person, because we are all animated with the same energy of love, which has consciousness.
[We were interrupted … so I resumed the next day.]
Rob: I’m seeing myself [again] in my temple in the center of the open space [with] all the Archangels around and Uriel in front of me. I’m greeting him, and as he does on occasion, he touches my forehead, my Fourth Eye with his finger. And he’s kind of joking around and taking his other hand and knocking on the side of my head, saying, “You really need to get out of your head!”
Okay, Uriel, what can you share that would be useful, be helpful for me to, I suppose, get out of my own way? I just surrender and allow to come whatever you choose.
AA Uriel: Greetings, Rob. Yes, this is way too much of a mental exercise for you. You spend an awful lot of time denying what it is that you feel. But we know, you know, you feel an awful lot more than you are letting on. You are keeping yourself guarded, as if somehow expressing your feelings is a bad thing. You well know there is no such thing.
So [regarding] your desire to feel something, something extraordinary, I would suggest to you that you do that far more than you believe. But you’re waiting on the fireworks. It doesn’t necessarily happen that way. It can, and it has for you, but you tend not to remember those events. You just let them pass — that was fun at the moment — then you tend to forget about them.
After studying A Course in Miracles, you had said for a long time that if you just experienced that “holy instant,” as it’s described in that teaching, that that would carry you for years. But as you’ve progressed, you’ve come to realize that’s not enough. You want more.
What you’re really saying is you want it to be your continual state of perception, of the world, of life, of all of your experiences. And it can be, but it is a complete act of surrender! Allow yourself! Allow yourself to feel that all the time.
As you say, you have your good days and your bad days. None of them are really bad, but you have your days when you’re in a good mood, no matter what — nothing can pull you down. And you have other days where you allow those feelings of negativity about yourself to creep in. Again, none of those are bad. It’s all part of the human experience.
Give yourself a break. It’s okay to have any of those feelings. In fact, I would suggest that you have to have those feelings in order to recognize what is happening so that you can let it go.
And I would also suggest to you that it’s no coincidence that you are in this circle of teammates. They can all teach you something about yourself that you don’t readily see, that you don’t allow yourself to see. So they, then, are a reflection of who you really are, to show that to you, so that you can accept it.
So we have shown you instances where those overwhelming feelings of love do, in fact, take hold, and you recognize them for what they are. Your feelings of gratitude are your outward expression of that inward feeling. Take those moments, go inside, and feel WHY you feel such gratitude. There you will find your answer.
The first step in understanding unity consciousness is, in fact, an intellectual exercise. But really coming to fully understand what that means in all its depth happens over time. Be patient with yourself. Be patient with the process … and the only thing you are waiting on is your own acceptance.
So again, it is centered wholly on you and what you allow yourself to feel. There are still times when you are looking outside of yourself for what you think will make you happy. The next step is truly understanding it is all within you — all the answers you seek. And, in fact, the final step is to understand THERE IS NOTHING outside of you.
We’ll see if you allow yourself to accept any of this, over time. I will say my farewells for now. All my love.
