Our collected knowledge from reading, sharing and experiencing is very valuable, indeed. But what most conspicuously comes to the forefront is the inidivual's need to fully understand themselves, and begin an inward journey to God. Any spiritual path, any ascension points to the returning to a higher awareness. This is done experientually, by living those ideals we've come to adopt and by tapping into your own inner-resources. All the practices mentioned here and elsewhere conclusively point to this.

I can share with you, and I can answer questions, but the objective is to not be dependant of anything else but That Which Is...the God of YOUR understanding. Can I make it any clearer? You can read and read and read, but you must communicate inwardly with honesty and care for yourself.

Once reliable and undeniable communications are established with your Higher Self, you then find the answers come to you in ways only YOU can fully appreciate, because they are based on YOUR experience.

How these manifestations will occur, or what everyone else's manifestations are is not your focal point: LOOK WITHIN YOURSELF, and do the work that needs to be done, to make yourself acceptable to yourself.

If you don't read "Jesus' Daily Messages", this one might get you interested in following it. THIS IS FROM TODAY:

My dearly beloved children, I come before you today with love and with light. Receive God's blessing in this time. You are loved; you are love.

The great shift is ever closer at hand. It is more important than ever that you stay upon the path, and be diligent in your spiritual practices and drawing closer to God every day. This is not a process that calls for merely "going with the flow," as it is an upward journey. Just as it requires more effort and energy to climb a hill, so the path of ascension takes much more energy than staying place in your current level of consciousness. While your guides and angels, and yes even I, will nudge you to make sure you keep going, no one but yourself can force you to continue the journey to the peak.

As you continue, you will be greatly aided by the spiritual guidance that has been assigned you, but none will act without you acting first. Yes, you could not have nearly the strength and courage you have without our help, but without your own initiative, it would never work.

It is often said that you take the first step toward God, and He takes the next nine. This is ever truer today when you are working with complicated obstacles and issues. However, God rewards those who act, not those who believe themselves powerless in the face of fear, hardship, and challenges.

In this great time of change, your ego, resistant energies and forces will try ever harder to keep you from continuing on the path. You will be distracted, not find the time, or just not want to put in the effort. However, when it seems that it could not get any harder, you shall break through and ascend to yet a new level. This path often works as a series of plateaus and jumps, not as a gentle slope upward, so you must be patient with yourself, and resist the nagging voice of all resistant forces and energies, in order to make the next leap.

Pray, and the angels shall surround you with their divine light protection. Call out, and the hand of God will guide you to take the next step. YOu will not be left alone, but you must have the will to continue.
