Greetings, dear ones, from the Brotherhood of Light. We have been called many things throughout your history, the Order of Melchizedek, Great White Brotherhood, and the White Brotherhood. We are all One, despite the many names you have given us (chuckle). So, in the spirit of fair play, we have come forward with our own choice of name, one that maintains the Brotherhood energy and yet heralds in the new phase of our work, too – working with nascent Beings of Light, which you are becoming. Thus, we are for you now, the Brotherhood of Light.

We have always been and always will be the spiritual guardians of this quadrant of sacred space. Record keepers, yes, of the Akashic records, guardians of sacred tools and places, karmic facilitators, yes, and material mechanics, too, in charge of teaching the way things work. That was our focus in teaching the Circle of Grace material, where we explained the care and maintenance of your total Be-ings, physical and etheric layers, plus how to use the basic Universal Laws. Then came the Frequency & Physicality series, where we focused on how the rising energies would affect you at all levels, again, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

And now we begin anew, with a new direction and focus – Welcome To The Now!

Are you keeping up, dear ones? We have given you so much homework, poor things! (Chuckle). We have admonished you to take care of yourselves, to rest frequently, drink lots of spring water, eat light and as often as your body dictates, play whenever you can, and not worry about the details. We have explained how a higher perspective is your key to understanding the new energies, and clearing the physical body key to surviving and rising gracefully into the new energies! Clearing and balancing all the layers of your total energetic Be-ing is your key to blending with the new vibrational space being created around you. Yes, the key to the higher realms is YOU, dear ones, you are your own vehicle, your own connection, your own keepers of the divine flame.

“Being in the Now”, “being in this world but not of it”, and other similar phrases are becoming so well-worn that they are losing their intellectual impact. So many people are reading and re-reading metaphysical materials such as this text, seeking answers, clues, hints, something, anything. We ask you simply to lie down and join us in a Circle of Grace clearing in this new 2004 energy, and see what happens! Dear ones, this is the year to act on what needs changing in your lives, for the energy levels now require it. Yes, a planetary detoxing is occurring, and all that does not resonate with Heart is becoming more and more painful to bear. Our advice is to seek clearing at the physical level, for that is where the residue of all the other energetic layers of your being is deposited. Your internal pressure is what causes illness, and clearing and re-energizing your nervous system is vital to the proper and healthy function of all systems. Every human body has a built-in cleansing mechanism; we are merely making you aware of it, and teaching you how to use it.

Hate your job? In the new energy, it will make you sick more quickly to work at anything that is not heart-directed or heart-fulfilling. The same goes for relationships of all kinds – those that are heart-based and supportive will grow, and those that are not will get much worse. We speak here of mates, of parents and children, of friends and acquaintances. Yes, as the consciousness rises, does it not stand to reason that people will start to treat each other better? It starts with you, dear reader, dear secretary, dear bank teller, dear bus driver. Be kind to each other. It's contagious!

Ah, the keys to happiness. Weighty title, that (chuckle). How to be happy? Do what makes you happy. Be with people that share the same quality of happiness. Live where you feel happy. Stop letting your mental body dictate your decisions – it only sees numbers and facts, and creates fear around them. Learn to give equal weight to how you feel about something – that's what really matters! Once you begin to clear, balance and integrate your PEMS levels, your perspective will change to a higher spiritual tone. Your mental and emotional bodies will confer together, then look to the spiritual body for final say before your physical body makes a move or says a word. In other words, how you process information and stimuli will change, and how you respond in each moment will change, too. The more people that begin to do this, the more quickly joy will spread!

The three keys to happiness are simply this:

1) Loving relationships – family, friends and community.

2) Ultimacy of Understanding – belief in something greater than the 3D human condition.

3) Living your life path from the heart – incorporating # 1 & 2 and living your life in full awareness of love, higher self, and performance of service to the greater good.

Dear ones, we could write a tome on each point, but, as you say, time runs short! What fuels and supports your life, your individuality, your hopes, wishes and dreams, and your ability to create Love and Light? Loving relationships with other people that give you opportunities to develop and spread compassion. The basic goal of every soul is to create more Love and Light with which to return to Divine Source. Your families and friends all work towards this same goal through life lessons, though most are unaware of it. Learn to see and appreciate every chance you get to mend a wound, uplift a soul, erase fear, and share more love. Remember our little poem from the Frequency & Physicality work? Achieve a state of Be-ing, and from that Be-ing, do. Don't run around just doing, or you'll forget to Be! There is no greater power in life than love, and you create love in your daily interactions with all forms of life.

Also necessary for true happiness is belief in a higher power, a greater consciousness, even a belief that things happen for a reason, any form of belief that stretches the human potential beyond your physical realm. Yes, though still a separatist view, it is a necessary step toward expanding your spiritual understanding. Dear ones, those of you now struggling with depression, loneliness, feeling cut off or lesser than, feeling that something essential is missing, seeking an unknown, intangible “Home”, all of these are symptoms of searching for a belief system that resonates for you. Once you embrace a specific religion, conceptual stand or level of metaphysical understanding, you need to find your place within that structure. Hence the struggle for “proof” begins, as you search to validate and quantify the belief system you chose.

This struggle is more difficult for people who were raised in strict religious confines, who need to “break out of the box” without feeling guilty about it! We ask you to grow beyond your first box and release any fear-based concepts by understanding their purpose and blessing the lessons they taught you. You do not need to reject those earlier teachings, you can incorporate them through your understanding into a broader belief system. In so doing, you will develop a bigger and better foundation for living your life in a spiritually-balanced way. Belief is meant to be fluid and evolving, to support you on your path as an evolving, spiritual Be-ing. Many religions are limiting, and thus growing stagnant, by insisting that you are separate from God, that you are less than God, that you carry sin that only God can judge and forgive. Here we give you back those powers and say, Spirit does not judge. Only man inflicts judgment on himself and others, thus limiting how you feel, think and act.

There are many levels of understanding, of accepting, of forgiving. Remember that Truth is an individual thing, different for each person. In order for full allowing of differences to occur, which will usher in the true Brotherhood of Man, you must understand that all beliefs are truly One, no matter how different they may seem! All seekers are basically One in their quest for Oneness (chuckle). All roads of experience, wisdom and understanding lead to the same place – the understanding and embracing that you are all One, that We Are All One.

That mysterious place you now call “Home” (which many of you formerly called “Heaven”) is indeed, the vibrational space of Divine Source, that which you call God. Hence the paradox for those of you seeking physical proof (in your limited 3D physical realm) for a place, being or object which is non-physical! Belief in the higher realms, that We actually exist, is a necessary step to expanding your awareness in order to communicate with us in our vibrational scale of existence. We invite you to meet us and work with us in the healing energies of the Circle of Grace. There you will find your proof, and your truth, that the higher realms do exist. Then you will find your place and purpose in the Divine Plan!

And now for the third key to happiness - we emphasize here, your belief in a higher power must expand to a belief that the higher power is within you! How to fully wield love and believe in yourself? By living your life according to your beliefs, by honoring higher truths and treating everyone as befits another Divine Be-ing. By using your innate talents and gifts to help others, which carries your self-love and your beliefs through every day of every Now moment. Doing work that feeds your soul, that you love doing, that spreads love to others, will make you happy. Your current course of action is finding out what your soul gifts and talents are and then using them, another needed step on the path to ultimate happiness.

Here we would like to specify exactly what we mean by “happiness”. We use this concept over the long term of your life, as opposed to “short-term gratification” or transient joy that does not last long. Most Western societies view happiness as the acquisition of things, rather than as a state of being. Expecting joy from a new car, a bigger home, a raise in pay, all these things are outward manifestations of your material condition. The newness soon wears off, the money gets spent, the joy dissipates, and you look for the next thing that will make you happy. Dear ones, we ask you to find happiness within yourselves, for who you are and what you can accomplish. Do you see the difference? Yes, long-term happiness may seem to have obstacles and fear in the way, but those are just your lessons, yours to embrace and love until they melt away. Once you embrace true love of Self, your material condition becomes immaterial! (Chuckle).

Over the years, you have developed new language concepts to represent “the material path” and “the spiritual path”. You separated them and thought that one led to the other. Now you are finding a need to straddle them both in order to be fully happy, to be beyond survival mode. Have you realized yet that there is actually only one path? You need to exist in the material world in a spiritual way to be fully happy! This is the biggest key we can offer you! If you only embrace that one sentence from your reading, we will be truly pleased to have been of service to the greater good of the Divine Plan.

Did you ever wonder exactly where that path is? What it leads to? You all seek happiness! If you seek joy within yourself in a focused, determined way, you will find it. And what is that ultimate Joy? Re-union with the energies of the Divine Source! Most religions do define an after-life, a Heaven and/or Hell, complete with a location where only good (or bad) things happen to you. The new metaphysics teaches that Heaven is a state of consciousness that can be achieved while still in body. Here is a new twist – you don't have to die to get there! We say, congratulations! This concept has been fully anchored in the human consciousness, and waits only to be materialized. Now you are faced with cleaning up your bodies, lives and attitudes in order to physically establish the expansion from 3D to 4D to 5D.

So that is your homework, dear ones. You are the innovators, the ground-breakers, the expansion potential for the rest of humanity. What a huge task you have embraced, the conscious creation of a new species of Man! We offer you here our knowledge and help in these transitional times, yet point out that you are doing the hardest part of the work. We are honored and humbled to be working with you magnificent, unconscious angels, and assure you that none of this work, these levels, and this expansion process is beyond you abilities. Indeed, you have long prepared for this day, this life, this Millennium Time.

The loving support we offer you comes with a solid, defined connection with Spirit through the Healing Prayer of the Circle of Grace work. This active meditation we have been teaching you is simply the built-in clearing process of your nervous system. It will cleanse and balance all the layers of your energetic being so that you may reach resonance with us in the higher realms. Yes, children, back again to the physical part of your homework – preparing your vehicle for the joyous journey up the path to the wholeness of Oneness.

In prior text, we explained that your etheric body is where all your “system controls” are located. You keep looking in the physical body for ways to fix things that break down. It is the aura that breaks down first, dear ones, long before that dis-ease and stress-pressure invades your physical core. Once your scientific and computer-savvy seekers begin creating diagnostic equipment that can scan and evaluate a person's aura, then watch out! There will be a field day of “scientific breakthroughs” and “miraculous cures” that will be no more than the electromagnetic restructuring of your energetic fields!

It is you metaphysical seekers who will tip the balance, who will persevere in their quest for better ways to heal the human body, who will create the demand for technology to expand its focus. Yes, you must train your focus into the different dimensions, beyond what your current scope of instrumentation can detect. But is that not the way of things – man first masters a talent, then creates a machine to replicate it. That is what you are doing first with your own bodies in this ascension process! Yes, the expansion of the senses, of intuition, of higher connection, that is the seed needed to spark the rise of the human consciousness.

All of your technology mimics a function of the human body. Why? To save you time and money! Each machine you create is designed to lessen your work, to imitate what you can do and save you the physical labor of doing it. Yes, the car runs for you, the vacuum cleaner sweeps for you, the stove saves you from hunching over an open fire, the blender whips faster than your wrist. Look back in your own history: Each time you got tired of a task, or saw a way to make it happen more cheaply, you created a machine to replace yourself. Even tollbooths are often now unmanned (chuckle – pun alert).

You may think we are diverging from our topic, dear ones, but we are not. Our point is that all of your technology is designed to mimic the workings of the human body and more, like calculators and computers that now think faster and hold more data than you can. So, where there is a proven need, you create a machine.

We say here, it is time to create a need for auric medical technology!

Sounds great, but how? The key to global success of holistic healing is in its blending with medical knowledge. First, the holistic modalities must learn to work together, and see themselves as tools to apply to the rebalancing that needs done. Each person has different needs at different times. Imagine teams of healers scanning a person, deciding which modalities are required, and working around the table as a group! Yes, it is in the merging of your tools and talents that real progress will be made, and notice taken by your larger collective community. Once you blend your holistic knowledge and experience with the copious medical information already gathered, it will all begin to make sense! Once Science and Spirituality meet and merge, the gaps will be filled in, dear ones, answers and shortcuts will abound. Your human lifespan, and the quality of that life, will greatly increase.

But first, we say again, you light workers must each clean up your own lives, release the burdens and etheric damage that you carry, so you can function fully in the new energies and then be able to help your fellow human. Circles upon circles, levels upon levels, and so it all rises. Have you ever seen a pyramid of champagne glasses being filled up? Yes, indeed, from the top down! It begins slowly, the first cup fills and overflows, and the bubbly elixir drips into the waiting glasses below. They fill up, and the golden liquid cascades down, filling the next, broader layer. And so it goes, dear little vessels, as we pour God's Grace down upon you and fill you up until you can happily share it with those around you. You will find that the more you find your own happiness within, the more it pours forth from you to grace the lives of others, and the more support you will have to express your gifts and talents.

We love you so dearly as we fill you with hope, faith and joy. You are perfect, each and every one of you, even as you struggle through your seas of imperfection, for all is as it should be.

And what you don't like in your lives, start fixing!
