Note from Stephanie:  I’ve gotten inquiries about what Our Friends might have to say regarding the situation unfolding in the Gulf.  Most of this information came through during a private session.  The woman kindly gave permission to use it as a post.  I tried to shorten the material, but in trying to revise and edite, the linkages seemed to be getting lost.  Even working with Our Friends on it, ultimately it seemed best to give you all the information together.  Our Friends added some additional information, as they often do.  We chose to separate out the material specific to the Gulf and include the additional, very important, material concerning preditions of catastrophe and fear.   

 On the Gulf Coast

The earth has her own resources; she has her own protections, and she has her own angels.  She also loves her creatures, all of them.  She is not out to hurt anyone. 

We see more sunshine and Light in the future for this planet.  What that means for human beings is a bit unclear, but for Gaia herself there is beautiful Light in the future, and since humans are part of Gaia and inseparable from her, we cannot but see this includes human life in some form of being.  So we would say there is no benefit to fear. 

We would not minimize the irresponsibility of humans in drilling into the earth’s crust in this way; it’s a bad idea…for many reasons.  Not to minimize that, we also share that your oceans are very deep, and you have no idea what’s down there; you have no idea of the resources the earth has. 

This spill for the earth, what would we compare it to?  Just as you might get a spot on your body and toxins in your system, you might feel queasy and not good, but your body has the resources to heal it.  The earth has the resources to heal and to cleanse this.  It will require changes; it will require movement; it will require some stuff to happen.  But she can do it; the resources are there. 

The impact on humans will be meaningful; these are the consequences of irresponsibility and greed.  While these consequences will feel very dramatic to humans, it’s not as dramatic to the rest of the earth.  Yes, there are animals dying, birds dying, fish dying; it is very dramatic to the marine life in that area.  Yet, the sea creatures have healing resources in terms of their energies and their integration with the ocean.  

There are processes within the earth and her energetic structure that humans have no idea of.  Gaia Herself can absorb this.  There are energies moving deep within your oceans that will have a profound impact and cleansing.  It will create some other effects as well.  But we would say that in terms of the Earth, it is heal-able for her.   Our Friends

 On Catastrophic Predictions

 Fear wants a reason to exist; it creates a story to justify its own existence.

To assume a fearful outcome is to assume an unkind and unloving intent on the part of the earth and Creation. 

Fear wants a reason to exist; it creates a story to justify its own existence.  The more fear presented, the bigger the story needs to be in order to justify and feed that fear.  Images of doom and destruction arise out of fear: individual and collective fear that imagination is feeding upon, creating a story that seems very real. 

We do not predict catastrophe, worm holes, global electromagnetic madness for many reasons.  Doing so would do no positive good in the world, and that is the whole point of Being. 

Also, to predict anything right now is not in alignment with the energies as they are occurring in the moment, because the energies are moving very rapidly.  It’s like salmon swimming upstream; try to predict and follow the course of one salmon, and you are going to lose sight of it in no time, because there are thousands of them.  You simply can’t do it.  The energies are so many and moving so fast, in so many directions; so much is happening. 

To predict is to try to control; it is the antithesis of how Creation works.  To assume a fearful outcome is to assume an unkind and unloving intent on the part of the earth and Creation.  This has more to do with a human feeling of helplessness. 

Fear separates you from the very solution you seek.   It leads you to struggle for a level of control that you do not have, and it does so by looking outside your own essence and presence, which is the only “place” where you truly exist at all.  It is only here that you hold your awareness with Creation, with the loving, infinitely creative essence that lies at the core of all creation.  Such is the Being of the Creator; such is the Being of you. 

In surrender and honoring, listening and heeding, in movement out of that, you have control, never through blaming, fear, or anger.  Creation, even your known Universe, does not operate like this; fear, anger, blame, these are nullifying energies, never creating energies. 

Those who are waiting for, and believe they desire, a big event, a dramatic shift toward something “else,” something new that they imagine to be more wonderful than what you have now, are missing the fact that you live in a true Eden now. Those who imagine that all the others will disappear, leaving the “good people” to a better world, are very confused about the Creation, about the art form of Creation that is this world, about who you are as humanity. 

Imagining and waiting for a great “shift” is not really any different than Christians who have been waiting 2000 years for the apocalypse.  And they are sure that it’s coming…all the time.  So far, it hasn’t happened. This concept of reward and punishment is a strong thread, tangled deep in human consciousness across most of the earth.  It emerges over and over again in different guises, new story lines.

But also, every story is, in a sense, true.  Those who are very devout Christians and believe they will meet their Savior when they die, will.  That is a true story to them.  Be very careful what story you attach to, because it is going to be true for you. 

Do you not want the story that says “I don’t know, but I believe in the beauty behind Creation, because that’s what I see at the heart of it all.”  Wish to experience, and hold to, the place of “Show me!” rather than the place of “I know.”  The “I know” comes from fear.

What you believe you know, you will find, because Creation will not scare you as you scare yourself.  Creation is infinitely patient in its unfolding love.  If you adhere to your story, we guarantee it will be a limit, a garden wall that prevents you from seeing everything that’s in Creation.  It may be comforting, but it is confining, that garden wall of certainty. 

You are confused in believing yourselves to be individuals, separate from one another as well as Creation, in independent bodies.  There is nothing independent in all Creation; all is within the One; all is interflowing. 

There is nothing independent about your bodies; this is why you fear death.  You are creatures of this earth; these bodies were created to live here, in Eden, in an absolute beauty and perfection.  This creation was designed to be as utterly interconnected and — to use a human concept that is misunderstood as negative —interdependent as the whole of Creation.  It is a beautiful and loving truth of Creation.   It is wonderful. 

As long as you are trying to escape death or escape the body, you are operating from fear.  You are running away from something, rather than moving toward something.  When you are operating from fear, you cannot be connected to Creation. 

So many people feel their bodies are a trap they need to escape.  This is very sad.  In truth, you are already the real Essence of you, and this can never change.    Your body is an added bonus, a temporary gift to enjoy, as is this Earth.  Move toward this gift.

If you are worried about disaster, then it is up to you to decide how prepared you are willing to become for any sort of natural disaster.  Understand that the physical universe has its own laws; its life unfolds without malicious intent.  Everything on the web of physical being is affected, including you.  You are always loved and cared for.  Remember that who you are is so far beyond this body.  Creation cares about you.  Your body is a temporary experience; it is the cardboard container of a priceless gift. 

The evolution of Creation is rather like a painting or a piece of art.  You don’t just go “splat” and it’s done.  It’s a process; it evolves; it emerges.  There is always that impulse to move further and push farther, to grow.  Growth, from the deepest essence within each Being, each spark of Creation, is the desire and action of love at the heart of all things; it is Creation creating itself always. 

Those who hopefully await a sudden shift are scared, trapped in a new version of an old story.  It is a child’s wish to have all that is difficult removed so the child can be at peace.  You are not children.  You are sovereign beings. 

Regardless how many stories you create of salvation from afar, peace is never going to happen by the action of some power greater than yourselves, because this would deny who your sovereignty in Creation.  As sunbeams of the sun, you are creators of the Creation along with all of Creation.  You must be the incarnation; it cannot be done to or for you.  And you all will do it.  You are not G-d, but you are that spark of the Divine come to emerge into this world fully.  That is your task in any given life; to wait for the miracle is to disavow the reason you’re here. 

Not knowing how to be more than embodied, not knowing how to incarnate, the feeling of vulnerability is enormous.  Incarnation requires choice moment to moment; it requires work.  It asks each human to do his or her own work, the nitty gritty work of inner cleansing through focus and choice.  It asks you to look at your thoughts, your emotions, things in your body that need to be cleared.   Peace resides within you and between you at any moment; it is for you to achieve.  This is being and becoming your Essence, that sunbeam of the sun.

It is very easy to get off into a side track of some kind of fear.  It is an issue and a question for every human being.

There is a balance, a place of awareness; we are asking you to hold your focus on a recognition of the beauty and the love that is at the core of life.  When you look at a sunset or a tree, or love another human being…everything that is truly core is coming from love and beauty.  

Recognize that this must be what Creation and the creative impulse is at the heart of everything.  Everything else is some kind of picture and process within that creation.  Trust the beauty and love impulse that is core.  Hold the thread of your awareness and choosing on that, rather than getting attached to any of the images that out-picture, or seem to out-picture, in the world.  In so doing, you become the peace you seek.  As you are, so you give.  Be peace to bring peace.       Our Friends
