All Saints Transmissions: Forgiveness

All Saints Transmissions: Mother Mary
Forgiveness Paves the Way to New Beginnings

ST: The vibrations I pick up from you today, Mother Mary, is forgiveness.  I know that for myself, I have trouble forgiving people, entities, events, and situations, but I know that forgiving the past would heal me.  Why do we have such a hard time letting these old stories go when they no longer serve us? How do we forgive?

Mother Mary: This question rests on the minds of humanity as a whole, and definitely as unenlightened individuals.  Once you learn the true meaning of forgiveness, you pave your way towards enlightenment.  You cannot grow or evolve if you clutch to wrong-doing and wrong-doers.  Your ego serves itself when you don't forgive and your soul withers, though a soul can never die.

I have seen some souls go through life times, even thousands of lifetimes without forgiving an enemy from an earlier lifetime. Imagine carrying this stone in your gut for thousands of lifetimes. These souls usually have health problems with the gut such as cancerous tumors.  If they radically forgive then these tumors would disappear.  Maybe not overnight, but within a few weeks or months.

Think of your body like a bag full of rocks.  Or better yet, you carry this bag full of rocks on your back while you climb up a hill. Let's say the hill is your life and your ambitions.  You won't get very far if you carry a heavy burden.  You will tire out, feel depleted of energy to even fulfill the smallest of tasks. So you realize at some point that those rocks are not serving you in anyway whatsoever.  So you must empty that bag out, but another part of you has attached stories to each rock.  These stories represent the dramas of your life and what makes you feel special.  You can join a group of other rock carriers (sufferers and victims of this or that) and feel validated.

Perhaps you don't want to give up the drama and the feeling of belonging in a group of survivors.  You sense that there is something heroic about your group members.  Not only that you become clannish and develop an us verses them mentality.  You have a collective enemy which could be men, if its a group for women who survived rape or domestic violence.  Or the group could involve political progressives who feel that the leadership of their country only serves corporations.  By joining these groups, you never heal yourself.  You never heal yourself.  You never heal yourself.  Why? How can you heal yourself if you don't practice forgiveness and letting go.  That bag of rocks increases in heaviness.  You even add petty pebbles to it cause by little slights.

Now, I am not saying that the person or entity that harmed you gets off Scott-free.  Karma plays a role.  But when you hang on to your grievances, you cause deeper harm to yourself. The rapist doesn't rob the woman of her freedom of choice.  He might cause trauma to the woman, but it is still up to the woman to figure out what she's going to do with that trauma.  Will she see the gift of light in the darkness? Will she see that she has choices to make about her future? There is no such thing as an innocent victim, not even children.

What I mean by this, is each soul carries a set of beliefs and patterns that send out vibration.  These beliefs are most often passed down through emotional DNA.  So even a baby carries these vibrations.  Now, I am not saying that we should not practice compassion.  But I am saying that like vibration attracts like vibration.  This also doesn't mean that people who commit crimes should be let off the hook.  And unless you're dealing with a sociopath, people do have consciences, even if their punishment happens below the surface.  Eventually, this person who committed a crime is going to mess up and give themselves away.

Now, I am not saying that nothing horrific is happening on the earth, but I am saying that there is a gift, a seed that when planted forgiveness reveals its gifts. Even the worst possible situations come bearing gifts.  You ask how I can say this, but remember that I forgave my enemies, the one's who took my son away from me during the prime of his life.  I could do this because I saw the bigger picture. I ask each of you to find something in your life that you think you cannot forgive, then forgive that situation or person.

Know this, everything that happens to you in this lifetime is a result of something you did in a previous lifetime. What goes around, comes around.  Don't think that you were a saint in every one of your lifetimes because you were not.  You have played every role imaginable and now the libertine ways of your soul come back to haunt you.  Even saints are sinners too.  So don't condone harmful and willful behavior, but forgive it to free yourself and to empty that large box of rocks.  In doing so, you are free to move forward on your path.  When you forgive you also balance karma and this can prevent further damage to you.

You often pray to me and you ask for miracles.  You ask for healing of this and that.  Here's my message, forgive your enemies, and forgive yourself then miracles will happen to you daily.  You will notice miracles everywhere.  Forgiveness has its rewards.

Remember that we always love you.

Blessings,

Mother Mary

Saints Transmission 2 (Saints Francesco and Chiara of Assisi)




ST: Good morning on this warm gray day.


Francesco & Chiara: Yes, yes, good precious day to you. And love to all the brother and sister creatures! Greet the day this way every day. Honor all the creatures, spread love to all the creatures and they will respect and not harm you.


ST: I try my best.


C: We know that you do. Think of Francesco and Brother Wolf and how Francesco showed the wolf respect. The wolf had harmed and frightened others because they approached the wolf with fear in their hearts. This is understandable because we were taught to fear wild animals and even domestic ones. For instance, we thought cats brought disease.


ST: They probably could or at least in the form of parasites carried on the cats.


C: Yes, the parasites and fleas—we did not know of bacteria and viruses. We thought disease was a punishment from God. And in a way with quantum physics and the law of cause and effect, we weren’t that far off. It’s not punishment, but the end result of an individual or society’s actions.


ST: You make a good point. For instance, if a farmer or corporate farm crowds animals into too small a space for that number of animals, disease will spread and not just to other animals. It will also spread to humans. This is logical and common sense. Greed however supersedes common sense. There’s this feeling or belief of getting away with something or tricking the gods of fate.


F: Oh, you mean the gods of money, commerce and big houses and that sort of thing.


ST: Yes, but having a big house doesn’t mean someone’s greedy, does it?


F: Sadly, it does. I’m not asking you to judge someone with a need for a multiple room house. This behavior has been programmed into souls along with a program to destroy and conquer the land and other creatures and human groups.


ST: So how do we wake these souls up from this programming that has left them in a trance?


F: Judging, blaming and shaming won’t do it. Treating others like they lost their mind or intelligence or input won’t work either.


ST: Ouch! I’ve done that.


F: Yes my dear, you have. You refuse to listen to others whose opinions are different than yours. But don’t punish yourself. You all do this and it is programming that you must delete, delete and say yes to delete… You can too. Replace those thoughts with loving and forgiving thoughts and practices. And you are doing that! Keep at it.


ST: But Francesco, what if someone’s beliefs and attitudes are destructive and violent to the rest of us? Do we let these people destroy the planets by allowing the Aquarian attitude of “live and let live”?


F: No, I didn’t say that you do nothing, but has judging, shaming and blaming ever really solved a problem? You must cultivate love and forgiveness inside you. Speak your truth, stand in your truth, and act out of integrity, but never force your “truth” on others, ever. Apply love and forgiveness always. Love is mammoth. It moves mountains literally, sprinkles stars in the heavens, causes plants to grow and blossom. We cannot exist without love.


So when you feel challenged, apply love in the form of deep breaths and loving thoughts. Focus on acts of kindness and act from a place of kindness.


ST: Thank you, Francesco and Chiara.

Transmission from Saint Francis/Francesco/Francois of Assisi

Transmission with Francesco and Chiara of Assisi



ST: Good morning, Francesco and Chiara.


Francesco & Chiara: Good, precious day to you.


ST: Well, it’s almost summertime. What can we expect this summer? The world is full of chaos, but there is also peace, joy, community, and love available to those who need it. And certainly there are all of these spiritual lessons.


F: Yes, and that will continue, both the chaos/fear and love/community. The Divide will grow and expand until one or the other dissolves for each soul. This is what we mean by heaven and hell on earth. The canyon (chasm) will grow deeper and wider until you can no longer cross back and forth between the two. So most important garden you can tend is the garden of your soul. Yank out the weeds of arrogance, doubts, worries, fears, rationalizations, judgments, gossip, etc…You don’t need these burdens anyway. Strip away this old clothing.


ST: But what do we do about individuals, government and corporations that act in a way that is not in the Highest Good? BP oil spill is an example of such a corporation or corporations that refuse to employ unemployed people, that won’t even allow these people to apply for jobs.


F: Oh, this is a tough nut, no doubt. How do you not judge someone who causes so much grief? Oh, we had this dilemma in the 12th century too. Here’s what I tell you. Don’t judge, but know that the person or entity isn’t acting in the best interest of the Highest Good. Use them as a mirror and ask yourself, “How am I polluting the earth?” Maybe it’s just a little thing in comparison, of course it would be, but focus on the change you can make in yourself. What part of you might have unknowingly contributed to the disaster?


ST: Yes, Francesco, this is a challenge. How could I have contributed to this oil spill?


F: Anytime you put a hateful or fear-driven thought in the world, you contribute to the destruction of the planet.


Think of it this way, what good does judging another bring?


ST: Well, doesn’t judgment bring justice and restore balance?


F: In a court of law or in God’s hands, yes, maybe, but not in the form of condemning, blaming, shaming, and pointing the finger. That my dear, is what I call blatant self-righteousness. It doesn’t solve the problem, but just adds more pollution to the planet.


ST: So then what do we do? How do we fix this human-made disaster?


F: Good question. Try applying love and forgiveness to the situation. There’s nothing, let me repeat, there’s nothing love can’t handle or heal. Some of you are on the right track. Get together with groups and hold a space of loving intent through prayer, meditation, and drumming.


I tell you, there’s no other way. Only LOVE will heal this. And those of you who figured that out, a good many, are well on your way to enlightenment. Yes, this is a huge disaster, yes this is a dark hour for humanity and the myriad of creatures, but I tell you only holding a space of love will manifest HEAVEN on EARTH. You must hear these words and take them to heart. Spread words of love and stop the blame game.
