For those of you who do not know of David Spangler, he has been of the
highest integrity as a metaphysician for almost 40 years. His capacity to
speak to the detail of the "deeper meaning" has always been profoundly
articulate. David, was instrumental in the founding years of the Findhorn
Community in Scotland and is highly respected around the world. May we all
continue to stay open to our hearts for everyone.
DAVID SPANGLER: Message from inner being
Over the past few days since the tragic destruction of the WTC, several
folks have asked me to comment on the inner side of this event or wondered
if I had any particular insights into what has been happening on the inner
realms.
The truth is that for all of Tuesday and Wednesday, I was simply too caught
up in the enormity of the tragedy to be able to tune in properly. I needed
to process my own feelings. When I did try to journey inwardly into the
situation, I encountered such a powerful maelstrom or cloud of psychic
energy around it that all I could do
was to enter it and hold a peaceful, loving center. Just as survivors of
the WTC collapse have spoken of being enveloped in dust so thick and black
that they couldn't even see their hands in front of their faces, so it was
for me entering this cloud of emotion, thought, and energy. All I could
experience within it was sorrow,grief, fear, and anger, and all I could do
was simply be a point of holding and peace within it. I had little ability
to see into the higher domains where some deeper information or insight
might be available.
Late Wednesday afternoon, however, I was contacted by a being with whom I
have had prior contacts and who appears to me to be one of many beings whose
function is to nourish the ongoing evolution and well-being of this nation.
I suppose I think of this being as an agent of the Soul of America. Through
this contact, a series of images and insights began to unfold for me, but it
has taken me two days to get a good handle on the information, and chances
are I will still be processing it for days to come. As the effect of this
contact has deepened for me, it has also made it possible for me to journey
into the situation and observe for myself some of the energies and forces at
work.
Because of this I have two levels of information. One comes from an inner
plane being and the second comes from my own observations working on the
inner planes. I want to differentiate clearly between these two. Both draw
on different capabilities. In the first case, the trustworthiness of the
information depends on my skills as a mediator and translator of another
being's perceptions; in the second case, the trustworthiness depends on my
abilities as an observer and is affected by my interpretation of what I have
seen and my thoughts about its meaning. I have reasonably good trust in
myself and in my skills in both instances, but you need to evaluate the
information for yourselves, so you need to know what
information is coming from what source.
In any event, as most of you know, information received using intuitive
skills from the inner worlds or from inner beings is not to be given any
greater authority or weight than you would give to any other information,
particularly when it comes from an ordinary, human source. It is still one
person's (or one being's) perspective, and you must receive it and evaluate
it using the integrity and independence of your own thinking and feeling and
the guideline of your own soul and spirit.
In this email, I will share what I received from my inner contact.
In a later email I will share my own observations and thoughts.
What this being said and showed me could be translated in this way
(understand that it takes me more words to express it than it did the being
to communicate with me!):
"What has taken place is an act of sacrifice and a gift given by the Soul of
America to the world at large. To understand this, you must know two
things.
The first is that whenever a death occurs, for whatever reason, whether
peacefully or in violence, an energy of spirit is released. An incarnational
portal is opened, just as it is at birth. This energy is neutral or perhaps
I should say, unformed. It is a gift that flows between the worlds. What is
shaped from this gift is up to those who receive it, as well as by the one
whose death has released it. Think of this energy the way your biologists
and doctors think of a stem cell: it is capable of being shaped and
particularized in many ways.
When a death occurs peacefully or as an act of courage and sacrifice, or
when
the one dying does so in a loving or blessingful way, then this energy is
given a spin in a certain direction and can be a source of blessing for
others. It lends itself to being shaped in positive ways. If the death is
violent and hateful, a different spin is given, and this energy can more
readily be shaped in hateful ways. However, this is not a rule, and even
hateful and violent deaths can generate an energy that will ultimately be
shaped in loving, healing, or transformative ways.
Think of this energy as a kind of inheritance. It is a gift from the dead, a
gift from the dying. It is a gift to life, even, you may say, a gift of
life
that can add to and bless the lives of those who remain physically embodied.
Not all inheritances are spent wisely or well, not all gifts are used with
grace and blessing, but the gift itself is there nonetheless.
The giving of this gift is an act of soul and is automatic. It is really an
act inherent in the boundary between your world and ours, a result of
crossing that boundary. To release this energy and to give this gift is not
a
conscious decision on the part of the one who has crossed the portal,but
someone who dies in a mindful and loving way will greatly add to this gift
and turn it from an unconscious energy into a consciously positive one.
Also, if love is present in the last moments of physical life, even if the
death is violent or as a result of hateful acts, this gift can emerge
untainted by the hate that may have caused the killing. Many of those who
died in this event did so with thoughts of love and courage. We can see
this,
and the importance of this cannot be underestimated. They have left a
powerful gift of energy.
That is one matter. As you know, there is a resevoir of fear and pain,
suffering and anger, hatred and separation in your world. Why this is so is
not of concern at this moment; suffice to say it is ancient in orgin and
that
all peoples contribute to it and have therefore a responsibility towards it.
All people suffer from it, whatever nation they belong to. It is a human
problem, not a national or tribal one.
In this event, the soul of America has acted in a sacrificial way to take on
a portion of this energy and hopefully transmute it. It has been doing this
for some time, and in this event, some of that sacrifical activity has
manifested itself into the physical. There are energies of hatred and
violence circling your world, so to speak, looking to land, and all nations,
including your own, are contributing to this simply because people
contribute
to it in millions of small and mindless ways. That this particular energy
landed in your nation in this way was partly a matter of consequences
returning for certain patterns and actions you have set into motion. You
cannot avoid paying a price for your own acts of violence in the world.
******But in spite of what many may say about America's responsibility, this
action was not primarily one of retribution or of paying a price. It was an
act of sacrifice, a deliberate taking on of a portion of the world's hatred
and suffering because the soul
of America has the capacity to receive this hatred and transmute it. This is
not a test of whether or not you can do so; you have already done so. An
energy of violence needed to be grounded and was going to land somewhere.
The soul of this country took it on, knowing it could absorb this blow. An
energy of love and courage has been released into the world. There will be
changes and there will be blessings.
This has happened whatever the immediate response of your people and your
government may be. If your reponse is one that recycles the hatred in acts
of
revenge, this does not mean you have failed a test, only that you have not
yet achieved a place of inner confidence and courage in which you can trust
in a spirit of love and healing. But you will reach that place eventually.
You must understand this. The Soul of America is far more than its
government or any one group of people. Even if your government or members
of
your citizenry react with hatred and seek simple revenge, this does not mean
that everyone reacts that way nor does it mean that a deepening of spirit
has
not taken place. For those whose desire to love, to forgive,to be
peacemakers has been quickened by this event, let them extend this
inclusionary, embracing spirit to their fellows, even to those who, in their
own anger and pain, now seek revenge. The gift of this sacrifice can be
received in many ways by people. For those who can receive it in a way that
takes them into the deepest places of love and the celebration of the common
spirit of humanity, and whose hearts can be opened to forgive, let them be
grateful, but they should not condemn those who will receive this gift in
different ways. If your heart is broken and opened to love, this is a grace
for you to embody, not a club
for you to hold over your brother's or sister's heart.
The energy behind this event needed to be received by humanity, much as the
energy in a storm needs to be discharged by lightning. It could have been
much worse; its effects were greatly mitigated, in no small measure by the
fact that it was taken on by this country. It is also true that even worse
acts of violence have been and are being contemplated. It is the hope of
the
Soul of America and of all of us who serve that great Being and serve this
country from the realms of spirit that by taking on this event and the
release of the energy behind it, as well as the release of the
transformative
power of the sacrifical act, will greatly lessen or dissolve the potential
of
these worse acts.
Has America lost its protection from spirit? No. You are greatly
protected.
Bolts have formed that have never struck you and were diverted. This
protection will not cease. But you are all in a stormy world. The charges
of hatred and fear are strong in all countries, and these attract and form
the bolts of violence that strike your world. If a bolt gets through, it is
unfortunate, but you must think of all the bolts that did not.
I have spoken of this as a sacrifical act made by the Soul of America. Did
those who were killed have any choice in the matter? What we see is that
many
of those who perished had indeed made an agreement at a soul level to
participate in this sacrificial act, to make it their portal for entry into
our world; others did not but were drawn into the event for a great many
reasons personal to them and their destinies. They could not have avoided
it.
But many had not chosen this way to die nor were bound to the event by
chains
of attraction or consequence, and they were not touched, sometimes for
miraculous reasons but mostly because of how the event actually unfolded in
time and space. In any event, all who died were immediately embraced by the
love that led the Soul of America to offer itself in this way, and their
entry into our world was graced and blessed by this spirit.
But as I have described, all who died gave the gift of energy released by
their dying. And in the opening of the portal so powerfully by the deaths of
so many, this gift of life from death, even though initiated by the hatred
of
a few, became a channel for an outpouring of the love that is at the heart
of America. It is, I know, a painful gift, but it is a gift nonetheless. It
is for you who remain to take
that gift and reshape your world with it. It is a precious thing, and it
can
remake your world. I bless you."

Greetings from Orin and DaBen!
http://www.orindaben.com/home/odmsg0915.htm
You have all responded beautifully in this time of great sorrow. You have
joined together on the inner planes with other lightworkers and the beings
of light, you have lifted solar plexus responses such as fear and anger into
your heart center, and you have been a source of light and love for those
around. Your individual responses have collectively created a wave of love
that is greatly needed, and that will touch the heart centers of many with
new love and awakening.
During times such as these, enormous numbers of people are open to new ways
of thinking, and are listening to the voice of their hearts and their
souls. The great loss that has occurred has given everyone a chance to
reflect upon the purpose and meaning of their lives. It has impelled
millions to turn upward, reaffirm their belief in God/Goddess/All-That-Is,
and feel their oneness with each other.
We see a humanity that is more united than ever before. Even if the unity
experienced at this high level is for just a brief while, the joining
together that is now happening will have effects for years to come.
Humanity is learning how to form a collective voice, and the inner
connections that are being formed during this time will be carried out with
new actions, thoughts, organizations, choices, and decisions that will
change the course of history.
The group of souls who gave up their lives, and the loved ones they left
behind, are part of a remarkable soul group. Take a moment to sense the
courage, love, and sacrifice this group of souls has made. Those souls who
have passed on have given humanity an enormous opportunity to awaken their
inner strength and the will to act with wisdom to bring about world peace
and unity.
These are remarkable souls, and you will note in the stories you hear about
them that they seemed to be special people known by their kindness,
willingness to help others, and by a certain light and radiance they
possessed. These souls and their loved ones are being honored and blessed
by the loving thoughts of millions. Through their sacrifice, and through
the prayers of millions, they will move to a new level of spiritual
awakening as souls. Those who are left behind will find many rewards of
light, awakening, love, and spiritual progress coming to them out of this
great sacrifice that they are experiencing.
There are powerful energies of Divine Will that are pouring into the earth
plane starting in the year 2000 and coming throughout this year. These are
the energies that destroy old thought forms, release illusions, and bring to
the surface that which has been hidden. Dense, negative energies that have
been ignored and hidden are coming to the surface to be dealt with and
negated.
This is the aspect of Divine Will that releases obstacles and assists people
in finding the shortest path to the goal, which is unity with respect for
differences, guardianship of other life forms, and a humanity that can act
collectively to create the highest good for all life.
The powerful waves of Divine Will are the carriers of Divine Love. A wave
of Divine Love is flowing into humanity, and you can and will experience
this love and goodness being expressed in many new ways. The crystallized
thoughts that have allowed hate and separatism to exist are being shattered,
never again to be as strong. Do not underestimate the power of Divine Will
and the transformation that is possible with Divine Love.
This has been called the year of the Great Decision, culminating with the
full moon of October 2nd. This is the year you need to decide - are you
going to love and focus on your unity with others, or are you going to feel
separate and focus on your differences? Are you going to listen to your
heart and do those things your heart has been calling to you to do? Are you
willing to be a source of love and a beacon of light for those around?
During the full moon of October, we invite all of you to join us on the
inner planes to unite as one voice to draw in and transmit waves of Divine
Love to humanity and to all life.
A suggestion of how to meditate for humanity right now and call upon the
Great Ones can be found by visiting our worldwide meditation page. Receive
these energies of Divine Will and Divine Love and become a transmitter of
these to your friends and loved ones.
Whatever decision you make will determine your path, and will collectively
determine the path of humanity.
