Questions from a Troubled Lightworker
Sedona Journal Title: "The Shift From Duality Into Higher Expression"

Greetings from the Melchizedek. Greetings to you once again, inquisitive little Brother (chuckle). We remember you well, and say you need no preamble. So we will begin with your first question.

Q: If this isn't the true reality, then we're really not alive and this place is dead. If we're dead, where are the living?

A: Interesting question. If this place is dead, by which we feel you are referring to the planet Earth, then where are the living? Yes, you have bumped up against duality, dear one (chuckle). It is, at first, quite a shock to realize that such a small percentage of your total eternal being is here. Worse yet, imprisoned in a capsule of flesh that further limits you to the narrow confines of a body. A truly frightening prison, if you will.

But you do not need to allow it to be so. The entire process of awakening, gaining awareness and rising into the higher frequency brings you back to the greater reality which is in truth, your real life. We say it is not a dead planet, it is a planet upon which most people are so marginally aware and have such a small amount of life force, that in comparison to the greater reality, yes, they may seem dead, that can be an interpretation, but they are still functional, are they not? Walking, breathing and moving, growing and learning. So, by the definition of death itself on your planet, your question is a contradiction. They are not truly dead. You may see them as mostly dead, if you wish. We would prefer that you see them as barely alive (chuckle). Same amount of light in that body, but a much more positive perspective. Do you follow?

The living, as you ask, are truly all around. You yourself, your larger being, is in the higher dimensions, and very pleased at your questions. And very understanding of your anger À due to a shifting of perspective. Your current perspective will change and grow as you do. If you are shown a concept that resonates but has too many edges, then tweak it and make it your own. The problem with what does not resonate in this concept is that it is not your own. It is one that you have discovered, and need to assimilate.

How many times have you heard that there is no death? That all people live beyond death, transitioning out of the physical body? There, again, is a paradox in your question, for there is no true delineation between life and death, only a transmutation of matter from one form of life to another. You understand the concept of transition? Yes, so we say, life continues after each transition. Your concept of physical death is only one form of transition. For you, it is the end. For us, it is our reunion with you! And your triumphant return home, with or without a body.

Q: How are physicality and duality related or not related?

A: They are related, dear one, all is related for All Is One. The physicality of which you speak, which is all around you, is one of the lower vibrational levels of life possible. The marriage of spirit and matter is what this Millennium Shift time is all about. The shift is the transmutation, you see, of that very body into a higher vibration, a higher frequency of energy. With all of the copper and brass energetic tools that you have been surrounded with, the Healing Pipes and crystals you are playing with, do you not see how they are affecting you? They are raising your vibration, speeding up all of your processes, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Your current anger and frustration are transient, dear one, as your mind seeks to catch up with what your body is feeling - transition.

Whenever you stir the soup, stuff rises from the bottom! So we do say, the truth about duality came in at a time that stirred your soup, you see. This concept has cracked open a whole new level of lesson for you, which reinforces all you have read. Now it is time to assimilate and become that knowledge, rather than holding it apart as separate, and interesting, and putting it back on the shelf. That is continuing in duality, you see? You are asking the appropriate question that leads us to say, now is the time to live it, to embody it, to embrace the idea that there is life after life as you know it. A totally different concept from: if this planet is dead, then where are the living?

Every time you reach a new level you bump your head on the level above. You already know much of the information we are relaying, now it is time to put it into your body and become it. That is quite a large step! You have been experiencing life from a higher spiritual perspective, in bits and pieces. Now we say you must do it all the time, and in order to do so, you must become it. It requires several shifts, you see, experiencing, doing and thus becoming. Your assimilation and your progress have been further sped up, if you will, by those very Healing Pipes you work with. Also, the rocks with their energy, all causing changes in your body; now your logical mind seeks to catch up.

; So, as to explain and properly assimilate, it is mind over matter. And coming back to your question, it is spirit over matter, as well. Duality is merely a template of consciousness which requires separation. That separation is between awareness of the physical body and etheric body. Your etheric body is your link to All That Is, and you are consciously disconnected from it. That separation puts an end to things, as does your view of death. Makes you a smaller, lesser, physical being, surrounded by other physical beings that you are not connected to. Physicality is a function of duality, or you could say that physicality is the separation that duality requires. The two are inextricably intertwined.

Once you release duality, you become an energetic being with a physical core, linked to the energy of All That Is.

Your struggle is, in truth, with the entire concept of duality. We say to you it is merely a form that has been pressed upon the Earth in order for you to learn your lessons. That form is easily circumvented, worked through and beyond, by rising up into the higher frequency of Oneness in which there is no duality left. That is the true challenge À to rise above death, to rise above the vision of the possibility of death. To merely see it as a transition, as a going home, to see each lifetime as a year of school, and then you go home for summer break.

Q: Why are we here? Why was physical form created in the first place?

A: Form was not meant to separate in and of itself, you see. You are here to transmute matter from a lower level of existence to a higher level of existence. This necessitates a form from that lower plane. In the case of humanity, a physical body is needed from 3D to pass a gateway, a doorway through which only the higher energy can rise. And in order for the transmutation of matter to be complete, it had to be accomplished by consciousness that had forgotten who it was. That had forgotten its eternal Being-ness, its huge, vast presence as angels within the body of God. We use the term angels for that is common knowledge to you, and a lovely image. In truth, there are many more conscious beings, of which angels rank many.

Q: OK, tell me this, how far does the rabbit hole go?

A: Your question has to do with the limits of the shift, we believe (chuckle). The rabbit hole goes to the seventh dimension. You will be rising from your current 3-4D existence, you are now creeping into 5-6D. Once you achieve 5-6D, you are already on the path to 7D. The seventh octave of consciousness is indeed the foundation for the greater, wider reality beyond your solar system and your universe as you know it to be. You may call it, Beyond the Beyond. So that is your choice, you see, whether to remain in the 3-4D matrix of Duality and die another life, or to ascend into 5-6D reality, shed the duality and become one with All That Is, which, we say is a beautiful place to be. From there, you can decide whether or not to serve in the 5-6D level and become the new First Wave for the next thousand years, or whether to go further, Beyond the Beyond, and take up new experiences in the vaster universes in the body of God. So that is your roadmap.

Q: What perceptual level do you, the Melchizedek Brotherhood, reside on?

A: We reside in 5-6D to be nearby to you, for we work here. Many of us are from 7D and beyond, in many different areas of existence, and many species. Our conscious awareness takes us up to 14D. Beyond that, we could not communicate with you at all. (PAUSE) Yes, eventually at that level, the bodies would be much larger and much more ephemeral, and it will be, as you call it, the swan song. This is a planetary ascension. Even more so, the entire solar system is ascending, for everything that happens on Earth is affecting the other planets. The entire quadrant is ascending, you see, which will of course catapult its effect upon All That Is. Again, this is another aspect of God's plan of expansion and growth.

Q: So, you're saying this is all never-ending?

A: Once you are in the Now, dear one, there is so much simultaneous occurrence that one could not truly point and say, there is the end, let's go there. There is no end, there is only timeless creation. Remember, time is an aspect that has been pressed upon your planet, into its electromagnetic grids, it rules the linearity and the duality. Without time, there would be no death, you see. For the way you were designed, it was necessary. Now you are being asked to become larger than the small picture you are used to, to expand your vision and expand your potential. Part of this is a necessary expansion of awareness. So, it is a battle between ego and logic that we feel you are embroiled in, with a good dollop of youthful energy (chuckle). This too, shall become comfortable as you make it your own and translate this concept into one that is comfortable for you to don.

Q: Why were we created? Has necessity made for most of creation?

A: We would say that is like putting the cart before the horse. God is creation. Indeed, all of his creation is ever-expanding and ever-growing. Therefore, once it is set into motion, in perfect sacred geometry and spiritual science, it is not a necessity that it grows. It is an absolutely balanced, on-going miracle that it grows. Everything grows, lives, reproduces and dies. That is the cycle of life and re-birth on your planet. Nature all around you proves time and again that though the trees may look dead, they come back to life every year, or they have the potential to do so.

Q: Is Nature in Duality?

A: Well, we said the trees seem to die, they lose their leaves and seem dry and lifeless. But come the spring, their roots bring in new life and their branches put forth new leaves. Again, the illusion of death is part of the winter cycle, just like the miracle of bears that hibernate for six months without eating or drinking and then rise up out of their dens and start walking around. Is that not a miracle as well? And yet, everything continues, for even if that bear dies, its cubs still carry on the bear essence and the bear physical presence on Earth. You still see the separation of death as part of your reality.

So, if this reality does not suit you, stand there and say out loud, –This is not an acceptable reality. I wish to change it.” You have that power! Again, you are wrestling with concepts that are too rigidly defined as black or white. These concepts are of duality within duality, and if you do not look at them from a higher perspective, they can be very depressing. So we say to you, you are looking through eyes of duality and you are finding everything pointless. We ask you make a shift, and start to see things that are beyond this reality. As in turning on a lamp, and not just looking at the lamp, but looking at the entire room and seeing where the light falls À a much larger view is what you need. You will work your way into it through your own logical, mental steps. You also require a bit of emotional clearing to make your transition smoother.

Q: What is truth?

A: Truth is that which resonates with higher self. Truth is unconditional love. Truth is the energy of the higher realms. Truth is power. Depending on how it is wielded, it can be loving or destructive. Most of all, truth must resonate for you, for what is one man's truth is not necessarily another's. In the higher dimensions, truth is much more tangible. Different things are physical for us here than they are for you. Whereas you can hit your hand on a wall, we always come up against God's Will and acquiesce.

Q: How do you discuss what is true with someone and make them understand without arguing about it?

A: We do feel that you must remember this is a free will zone. No one has the right to inflict their truth on another. Nor does anyone have the right to control how another believes. Rather than arguing with one another, in which case someone must be right and someone must be wrong, which brings in the element of judgment, once again you are wrestling in duality. There is no judgment in the higher realms. You cannot continue to assimilate the higher truths while beating each other about the head and shoulders with the limitations of duality. Therein lies your frustration. It is not a question of trying to convince anyone. You merely state your own truth, and say this is what I believe. Here, look at it. For each one, their innermost belief is their truth.

(PAUSE) Again, you are speaking from duality. You and I are One. You are part of God. You are pulling away in separation, do you see? Each time you do so, it causes you anger and frustration. You must believe in your own power as creator. Then you may create whatever you focus on. There are more steps to it than just, belief is creation. Believe in your power to create something, and decide what that thing will be. Then sit down and make your plans as to how you will create it, where you will create it, what you will create it out of, where you will put your desk, your office, what your stationary will look like. The process of creation, because you are in the physical world, must follow physical steps. Recreating yourself at all levels, however, takes time and patience.

The process of creating a belief is not instantaneous. It is based on experience, doing, making mistakes and learning from them. What you believe today will not be the exact thing you believe ten years from now, for you are an ever-growing, ever-expanding being. So we say you are simply being too rigid. If you feel that truth must carry •I am right and you are wrong' with it, then you are looking at truth in the wrong way. You are judging, you are asking for it to be judged, and you are asking for one truth to stand as the correct one, and another truth to stand as the incorrect one. So, we ask you, who would you like to appoint as the ultimate judge? (PAUSE) Nothing in this level of reality is as it appears, but we would not say as a blanket statement that nothing in reality is true.

Q: Then why can't I get the hang of this creation thing? What am I missing here?

A: Because you are still in duality, you necessarily see creation as something separate from you. In the higher dimensions, things that are created are shared. Love is created, we merge together and we share it. We experience the essence of it, and we share that which we have created with each other. It is not in a box, it is a creation of energy that we put together as an expression of who we are. There are many creations, many art works, there is incredible music in the higher realms. The way in which all of this is experienced and shared is immersion in the vibration of it. One cannot immerse oneself in the vibration of something if it is separate. So yes, you said in frustration that you cannot see our perspective until you have experienced Oneness without any doubt whatsoever.

That is the crux of your frustration, and this experience is one of many that will be coming in for you.Once you have experienced total union with Oneness, all of these doubts and frustrations will become things of the past, meaningless arguments that you had to rise through in order to grow out of.

difficult when you are standing in a world of black and white to comprehend someone saying to you, how do you feel about blue? Since you have no experience of it, you will say, there is no blue! Yes, indeed, there is blue and orange and red, and in the higher realms the colors are even more incredibly splendid. To us, your palate is very limited in color range. Once you remerge with your eternal being, you will remember, you will know, you will recollect all that you have been, recollect your memory, recollect yourself physically and etherically. You have a home and a family in the higher realms; this life is merely a difficult school that you volunteered to attend. As you rise nearer to the top grades, there is the frustration of not quite getting it, or finally getting it but not being at the graduation ceremony yet. Next year's frustrations will be different, dear one. These will have melted away (chuckle).

There is always more, and that is our message to you. All is life. The frustration you feel is transitional, it can be muted by focusing on other things. Doing something that you enjoy to take your mind off these huge, complex issues. Step out into the sunshine, run a few errands, find a little balance between the work and the play, the worry and the fun. That will help you enormously in your transitional process. And we say, you are doing quite well! For we honor the fact that these issues are very important to you, and your anger and frustration of –not getting it” is the sign of a bright, bright student. For that, we honor you as well. Be patient, this is merely another step, you reached a level and now just bumped your head on the level above, you see, and there are many more above that one. And yet, if you were catapulted to Source at this moment, it would be harmful and you would not survive the trip in the current state of your physical body. We ask you to take the steps and stages one by one, so that no harm will befall you. It is part of the Divine Plan, and the progress you must make as a divine being, re-discovering who you are. You are eternal, for even at your death, we will come and say hello!

Q: What would be a good way to occupy my time right now?

A: A human question, interesting! We do feel that part-time work might prove interesting for you. It need not be anything glamorous, nor need it be anything difficult. Something as simple as working in a bookstore would maybe be enjoyable for you. It would add to your productivity, expand your knowledge and put a little extra money in your pocket. It would be a good idea to add form to your days, more of a schedule.

There are also opportunities for service as a volunteer. Were you to look at working with animals, we feel you would find a job not too far away. Try something different that you have not done, that will capture your sense of fun. Work need not be a bad thing, or a difficult thing, or something that drags you down. In redefining work, it will help you to redefine joy and happiness. If you find joy in your work, then when you get home and your time is your own, there is even more joy waiting! It is important to keep busy, and that brings a balance to your mental processes as well. And you will not worry so much.

Q: I feel I'm meant to do something valuable that will contribute to society. I'd like to teach metaphysics. When does the big job start?

A: In several years you will find that which you are meant to do. We do feel that by 2005 you will be fully on your path. You will have developed enough of a network and you will be a foundational element in spreading metaphysics through whichever modality you feel comfortable upholding. We also feel that this work will be in the field of energetics and conceptual metaphysics, but you have a bit of ego-smoothing to do. The best teachers listen. They never impose their will, merely plant seeds and water them with love, then move on to the next orchard.

Q: Where will I end up living?

A: We do feel that in the year you establish your work, you will decide where you want to live permanently. And then find, quite joyously, that you will be traveling! In the meantime, there will be potential for changing work in the next two years. Each job you consider, do not feel it is the end, merely what you are doing for now. And if it gets boring, you can always change jobs. Once you are fully dedicated, there will be a heavier mantle upon your shoulders, you see, so enjoy this time as being free and loose, for your life will greatly change in two years.

Q: What is the Melchizedek? Who am I speaking to?

A: I AM Father Melchizedek, voice for the Brotherhood. We have been best known as the Order Of Melchizedek, the White Brotherhood, and the Brotherhood Of Light. We are legions of ancient Brothers, Ascended Masters, angels, and light-bearing ascended species from different dimensions. We are the scribes for God. We are the gatherers of information, of knowledge and dare we say, of Truth (chuckle). Someone has to keep records, dear one. We are in charge of the Akashic Records. We are the ones who remember All. We are the ones who teach others the concept of All. We also stand witness to others' progress and help them when we can. We are material mechanics, spiritual surgeons that minister to human beings. We are dedicated, in this quadrant, to the evolution of humanity through the transmission of wisdom and knowledge, which becomes your truth and your power to rise above that which you see with your physical eyes.

We are here to help you clear yourselves at all levels so that you may rise up. Working with the Circle Of Grace, for example, will help clear and balance you, so you can key into the invisible.For that is the realm we ask you to believe in. That is the true, glorious realm of greater reality which is invisible to you right now. Here is true life, which is also your life once you are done with this little one.

That is the perceptual shift you are making now, and it is not an easy one. As entrenched as you are in duality, you are performing a vital, vital service to humanity by transmitting and transmuting your physical reality into a higher expression. In order to be able to do so, and do so 100%, you need to have come up through the ranks, have lived in that duality and totally, totally believe in that duality so that you can then work away from it. And that is what you are doing now. Again, a very necessary step on the path and we say to you, the path stretches far beyond what you can currently see, but do not give up hope, for there is much, much more that lies ahead.

Q: So will you come and visit, and teach me in person?

A: Yes, we will gladly drop in and visit with you. That is what we dearly love to do, it keeps us, as you say, busy (chuckle). (PAUSE) And yes, as many cool special effects as your awareness can handle! We do work with you in your sleep. Ask for your conscious awareness to travel with you. Ask us for conscious recall of your training. In that way, you will start to remember bits and pieces, and the edges will be smoothed for you. Again, were we to show up at your door, though that is what you most want, it would be a very rude shock, you see. One day, we will stand before you and shake hands, very, very proud to be back together again. For you are indeed already a Brother. You are remembering who you are, and all of your questions today were very appropriate for an awakening Brother. The things you worry about you will learn to wield deftly, and in the utmost harmlessness, which is the goal of the Brotherhood. Do you follow? Yes. We are already One. Always have been, always will be, and we say to you, dear young Brother, do not fear, for there is no such thing as death.

- We Are, in All Love, The Brotherhood Of Light.
