“Back to Basics”
Insights from the Christ Awareness
Welcome to 2008. I wasn’t quite sure what would be the primary focus of this message, or even how it would be written, and given my last Newsletter Message from last September, ‘who’ would be the source or inspiration. Since the Solstice the subject matter and the inspiration began to take shape, and it wasn’t until today that the writing part was required.
I will begin by stating one simple piece of wisdom I picked up along time ago; ‘forget what you know.’ Another one is; ‘get back to basics.’ As the pendulum of polarity now appears to swing so heavily in favor of conflict and uncertainty, there may be an increasingly pervasive feeling of slipping backwards, of at least of slipping around in any direction except forward. In the unwinding of the drama and dogma of the ego’s grand game there are essential truths that seem to get sacrificed in the desire to achieve enlightenment and ascension (achieve is an oxymoron here).
There is also a growing cynicism about many of the promises held out to many as the way towards a greater sense of empowerment, success and massive abundance. What do you say to some folks when they’re desperate for some answers about why the Law of Attraction doesn’t seem to work for them, or why they have been doing the affirmations and the inner work, and the things of everyday, physical life only seem to get more challenging and disheartening? Where are the answers for them? All the feel-good seminars, gurus, self-help books in the world won’t help unless there are some basic issues faced, and basic truths understood about our natures, the nature of our subconscious minds, and the nature of pure, Christ-like awareness.
Some of the best spiritual teachings embrace the concept of non-dualism, or pure non-dualism. These concepts can be a bit deep and mystical when you are looking at them from the perspective of Mind, but essentially non-dualism is like seeing and experiencing the Truth that lies behind the forms in the world, and realizing that the Presence that all forms arise from is undivided and absolute, whereas the forms are many and relative, i.e., forms are all impermanent. A good example is yourself. You are an ‘individual’, yet that word contains a clue. Place a hyphen between ‘indivi’ and ‘dual.’ The prefix ‘indivi’ is also found in another word, ‘indivisible’, meaning whole, or one, not able to be broken. The suffix ‘dual’ on the other hand, is plainly obvious, and means ‘two.’ So now you see the apparent paradox of yourself. You are both ‘dual’, or of two parts, and ‘indivi’ or one part.
However, pure non-dualism is based on a path dedicated to using the mind to overcome the mind, which because of its built-in difficulties, has only resulted in a few souls approaching something close to ‘enlightenment.’ Once the mind has been quieted, silence, peacefulness and an alert aliveness may be experienced as the dominant state of consciousness. For most of us another approach may be best, and that there is another way.
What does it mean to ‘own’ your consciousness? It means to be in total awareness of your consciousness beyond form, the self-hypnosis of the five senses, and any conditioning (programming) you’ve taken on board through your life (or other lifetimes), in other words, the ‘real’ You. Who is the ‘real’ you? It is everything, everywhere, all at once. It is a bit difficult to express unity consciousness, but that is what the Christ Awareness (consciousness) is. The ‘Christ’ is not an identity or a label. It is the absence of an identity. Now that is a scary concept to your sense of self, because the ego hates competition. In the rush to become an enlightened ‘master’ we are short-circuiting ourselves. To ‘own’ our consciousness is to be in complete acceptance of everything that is inherently ‘us’, while at the same time learning to accept and love what I call the inner ‘fallen angel.’ We are the angels and archangels right now and we are the Masters and Christs even when we are experiencing ‘stuff.’ That which is not ‘real’ in ourselves, which is Fear with many faces, is also part of our Consciousness, even though that Fear is not conscious of its home within Unity.
I have known unity. It happened in January 1996, while in the shower. For a brief fifteen seconds I felt that I was not just a part of everything…I was everything. During those fifteen seconds I just existed, not as pure mind, but as pure love and gratitude completely awake and aware. It was the simultaneously the most blissful and the most turbulent and emotional-filled experience I have had in this lifetime…so far. I cried off and on for days.
As profound as this experience was, this experience of ‘indivisible self’, I was not equipped to cope with the aftermath in my physical, human life. In fact, having such a peak experience actually amplified the sense of limitation in the body and personality, and my mind suddenly rejected ‘normal’ life. It hurt terribly to suddenly collapse back into my ‘self’ after such an episode. I had a very strong second dose of this unity state when I was swimming with the dolphins of Kealakekua Bay on the Big Island of Hawaii during the Harmonic Concordance of 2003. After I returned to the mainland, I perceived the world around me as hollow and harsh in comparison to the intense expansion of a few days earlier. Even my path and calling meant little to me as I struggled to cope with the powerful emotions that were welling up in my heart and in my body. For about two months I just could not get back into any kind of enthusiasm for what I was being or doing before the encounter. Shortly after, I met Lynn, moved to Scotland, and settled into a long healing sabbatical.
With the benefit of my current perspective, Ascension, enlightenment, and many other things are now viewed with new understandings, and the primary epiphany I have had lately is that without the heart, without an uplifting sense of trust that goes beyond spiritual disciplines, practices and concepts, we ourselves are can easily become hollow, cynical entities. Mastering the mind, or losing the mind, can be liberating if it is approached in a holistic and loving way, one which includes the body and the hidden daemons of the psyche, and remains centered in the heart.
The heart is still a mystery, even within the realm of spirituality, for it defies the capacity of Mind to understand it. I’ve done a little research and have discovered that our physical hearts have their own sentient intelligence. Look up the Resonance Project, and you will find the results of ground-breaking research into the bigger miracle of the heart. (http://resonanceproject.org).
Scientists can now measure the electro-magnetic ‘blast wave’ of every heartbeat from five feet away, as the electrical output of the heart is stronger than the millivolts of energy that your brain emits. According to human energy field researcher Dr. Valerie Hunt at UCLA, the heart uses the emotional centers of the brain, the amygdala and hypocampus, to organize feelings into measurable fields of energy. The use of music, chanting and other forms of sound have a root in heart resonance and emotion, and it is this that forms the basis of healing with sound. As a musician, I strongly feel that music that is cerebral, or only mind-based, does not have the power to heal as effectively as when the heart and emotions are involved. When the heart and mind are combined together, the resulting electromagnetic field pulse from the heart forms a sonic blast through the tissues of the body and then outward to some significant distance from the body. This is the basis for not only sound healing, but for the potential to transform consciousness as well. The heart is indispensible for ordering all
Another medium for heart intelligence is through the spoken word, and in some cases, the written word. Again, some of the effects of listening to a ‘heart-centered’ person will be to experience tranquillity, safety, peace. In some cases, hearing or reading words from such an awakened person can actually cause sudden understandings and deep healings to occur. Much of this depends on the listeners ‘resonance’ with the person that is doing the communicating, or with the subject matter itself ‘feeling’ like the truth. As Dr. Masuru Emoto (www.hado.net) has demonstrated, the power of words, and specifically words with emotion, can alter the crystalline structure of water molecules. What a graphic demonstration of the power of the heart!
The feelings of love, trust, compassion and passion are the domain of the heart, whereas the emotions generated from within the mind are fear, and all of its children-control, competitiveness, mistrust, greed, power games, etc. Wherever your focus is, the heart will organize and generate the energy into expressive fields that have the power to heal or harm.
To choose your feelings and emotions consciously can be a revolutionary way to re-order your experience of this reality called Planet Earth. If you feeling reactive, it is your mind that is dominant, and if you just take a moment to breathe and then choose again, to choose love, then you will have ceased to poison your own mind and body. Back to basics is choosing the heart and feelings over the mind and rules. Forget what you know, and choose beginners mind, and you will be choosing the wisdom of the heart, the higher Heart of Consciousness.
This Heart is the heart of the Christ Awareness. This Heart is the only re-Source we all have that is effective. Here’s the best part; you don’t have to do anything to have it all. All you have to do is surrender and go back to basics. If the book you are reading doesn’t touch your heart or generate feelings of gratitude, joy, serenity, empowerment or laughter, you probably don’t need it. If this or that philosophy, teaching or discipline is beginning to feel hollow or cold, then you don’t need it. If you are trying to hard to be a perfect spiritual/human being, then you don’t need that either. You already own your own Consciousness, so how can you even ‘own’ it again? Just be it, and allow of it to just be what it Is. You can’t improve on that, or add anything else to it. It’s back to basics. Experience it all without resisting. Choose it all without fearing. Live it all with love.
So be it.
Peace,
Isaac

Revelation, Revolution and Resurrection
“Peace be with you. It is time to reveal and thereby create a revolution. As was already given through the Gospels, the signs of the times are now upon you. The future is now!
Look no longer to special dates or years yet to come, for that is a distraction. When I declared that at the end of this Age there would be wars and rumours of wars, and earthquakes in diverse places, and that there would be signs of wonder in the skies, it was not a prophecy. It was a simple understanding of the consequences sown during previous cycles that lie hidden until a new cycle is in the ascendant. Those who have ears to hear, let them hear, all such self-created consequences are designed for self knowledge, which leads to the remembering of each soul’s true nature and Source.
I would remind you that the intent of this message is not to frighten or create anxiety, but to point out that although that the appearances in the world may seemingly be full of upheaval and uncertainty, there is actually a very good reason to be overjoyed by that which may look to be dangerous and fearful. As the storms of madness increase, it is a sure sign that collective ego is desperately attempting to maintain power and control, and ultimately it will use up all of its resources trying to prevent the inevitable…the end of separation from the Father/Mother within the consciousness of every individual. Separation is fear in its ultimate form, and the false ‘power’ that seeks to prevent the spiritual revolution from awakening within the collective heart of humanity knows its time is now very short. Satan is just another name for the lower ‘self’, and it is this ego self that is going mad with its own fear.
In the last message through this channel there was a suggestion to go back to basics, to return to the foundation of truth and communion within your heart and with Spirit. Here is another recommendation: surrender what you know and what you think you know. Information is not the same as wisdom. What is essential to know, you already know. If you needed to know more you would already know it. Ask Spirit to reveal to you what is essential for your journey right now. It is well to prepare ahead of time for the care and sustenance of the body, but useless to spend too much more time in accumulating data and security. The world is drowning in information, and the truth is obscured. Even when you think you ‘know’ something spiritually or metaphysically, it is still influenced and tainted by the context you reside in. Imagine Neo in the make-believe world of the Matrix, oblivious to the fact that he is in a technological ‘Truman Show’, while at the same time thinking he is ‘free.’ Forget what you have learned, your conditioning and manipulated perceptions, and ask to be shown the world and your Self as it truly is. Then you can forgive everything, while at the same time intending to broadcast the highest Light and Love from your Heart so that more ‘balance’ can be manifested to guide you, and everyone and everything else, through the changes ahead.
The desire of many is to create Heaven on Earth. Seek instead to experience Heaven within thine own self, and then it will be manifest as a reflection of that. As Ariel has given before, ‘live Heaven’, which is fundamentally different than seeking to change external conditions, even from the level of intention and the mind! Externals are dependent upon the momentum and focus of belief within the collective, or group mind of humanity, not the domain of the individual. Yes, many minds and hearts together do have influence, and can create balance. Even I did not seek to change the world, and neither do you need to do so. The ‘mission’ of the Christ was to change the hearts of people, to awaken them from their amnesia and break the chains of slavery to materialism and survival consciousness. There is still a great deal of misunderstanding about what it means to ‘save’ a world, or a soul. It is time to reveal the deeper truths in what was said two millennia ago, and is still whispering to each heart even now in the Silence. There are many mansions to aspire to. Therefore, do not seek to carry the burdens of this world on your shoulders, nor become attached to any particular aspect of multi-dimensional identity or reality. Only through understanding this will you not succumb to the despair that disappointments bring when something does not transpire according to your ego’s hopes, dreams and fantasies.
You are not the superior power in this process. Consciousness, Light and Love are the superior power, and Source the only certainty. You may choose to align with Love, and through you that which is most needed in the moment may be accomplished, but only in proportion to the degree with which you surrender your ‘personal’ agenda. Spiritual disciplines are useful to tune the dial of your consciousness to the more refined and subtle broadcasts that emanate from beyond the boundaries of the ‘matrix.’ Going back to basics is a revolutionary act, just as telling the truth is. As you are discovering more and more each day, this world does not love the truth, and prefers lies and deceptions. (I will speak more about this a little later on.) This will change, as more and more of the Presence of Spirit infuses and transmutes the astral and physical realms into balance. Sometimes this will cause disruption and instability, as resistances and blockages are transformed, but bless the chaos nonetheless, as it is a sign of Love in action. Sometimes Love may show itself as anger and fury, but it is never judgmental.
I say to you; be aware that you and the world now stands at the fulcrum point in the Shift of the Ages, halfway through the overlap of the cycle of Pisces with the cycle of Aquarius, but before the full influence of the Aquarian cycle can begin to assist in the transformation of consciousness, the Second Coming of the Christ. The literal beginning of the Age of Aquarius is, as you count time according to the Precession of the Equinoxes, still roughly 200 years away. However, the future is now, not in 2012 or some other appointed time, although this is the time that is a preparation for 2012 and beyond.
What will you sow in the furrows of this time? Your intention is more important than you yet fully realize. Your soul’s agenda will profoundly affect everything. The time that is close at hand will be one in which empowered, God-realized individuals can change the course of time and space. That is the revelation and the revolution that is just around the corner. What do you envision? How large is your passion? Take the time to know yourself first, ask inside what it is that you have been created to give to this world, acting with courage and passion from that wisdom.
Be aware! Be as gentle as doves, but as wise as serpents. There is a temptation now by those controlled by their greed (fear) to use food and energy resources as weapons of control. This feeds their sense of power and their desire to avoid powerlessness. Every day the costs on the basic requirements for life keep rising more rapidly and no one seems to know what to do about it. This is intentional. Part of the scenario is the desire of some to control the profits realized through commodities and so on, so that there is a loose monopoly. Your economic model as it is structured also allows for this very small segment of people to control the resources and distribution of resources. They control the wholesale costs and then it trickles down from there. Do not allow manipulated shortages or the dramatic increases in pricing concern you or frighten you. It is manufactured, designed to ratchet up your fear and keep your focus on survival and the ego’s attachment to security and success. Moreover, do not allow yourself to sell out to fear for a piece of bread, or a gallon of fuel. There is no more effective form of spiritual and emotional blackmail than to make someone believe that their physical survival depends on loyalty to a given government, authority or economic system. When people are hungry or economically strained they tend to give away their power for crumbs. However, there is always another choice.
This other choice is to first of all say ‘no’ to economic blackmail or carrots on sticks. Change must begin within by altering your beliefs about survival in the physical realm. Find out where you stand with your own resources and to your Source. What are your deepest fears and how can they be healed? Are you afraid of being homeless, going hungry, or being bankrupt? Are you afraid you won’t be able to provide for yourself or your family? Do you feel shame because you are in debt or unable to realize your dreams of being a success? My brothers and sisters, you need not take on labels that define failure! Your value is not found in you being ‘successful’ or a ‘good provider’, and your value is not diminished by where and how you live. However, enlightenment and peace is also not easily accessible to those who are at a subsistence level of living, as all of one’s cares and concerns are with mere survival. Therefore, seek to gather wisdom regarding every aspect of your welfare and make a plan.
First, pray. Ask for help and guidance. Then, remove that which is dead weight in your life, whether it is ‘stuff’ in the closet, attic, basement or garage. (You may even need to let some relationships and groups go as well.) Sell or give away as much as you can. Then, find out what you are spending each month and on what. Eliminate wasteful or unnecessary purchases or monthly expenses. Next, if you have a little land available, grow a small garden. If you are in a cold climate, use poly tunnels or build a little greenhouse with plastic and old pallets. Grow herbs and sprouts indoors in window boxes. Reduce or eliminate meat consumption and cut down on fish and poultry as well. Eliminate purchasing produce that is trucked or flown in from hundreds or thousands of miles away. Learn to make your own bread.
Tell the grocers and fuel providers (heating and auto) that keep raising their prices that you will be putting pressure on your politicians to investigate price-fixing and corruption. Boycott where appropriate. By the way, bio-fuels are a red herring that does nothing positive for the environment or your food supplies. Seek out zero-impact solutions that are most affordable for you.
Finally, begin to create neighbourhood and local cooperatives for mutual support and welfare. Talk with those who live closest to you, and suggest that it is now time to become more self-sufficient through the pooling of resources and information. If you live in a small village, investigate the possibility of a group purchase of a wind turbine to power everyone’s homes and thereby remove yourselves off the ‘grid.’ These suggestions are not just a nice way to save the Planet; they are a model of sovereignty and spiritual truth expressed in practical ways. Don’t wait for governments and politicians to do it for you, or you will be waiting for a very long time.
Pay attention to those that are less fortunate to you. They do not want your pity, or judgment. Give them your love, your cash, your direct eye contact. Don’t wonder if they are truly ‘poor’ or if they are scamming you. If you have very little, give of it anyway. Cast your bread upon the waters my friends, and you will never want for whatever it is you need in the next moment, for as you do it unto the least of your brethren, you do it to Me and everyone. The highest knowing is that you do it to yourself.
Here is an intention…a prayer you can use: “Thank you Mother-Father. I ask for and gratefully receive, all that I require for my life, knowing that before I have even asked for it or known that I have required it, it is already mine.”
Revolutions are coming. Some will be gentle, some not so. The stirrings have been felt in Kosovo, and Tibet. Over the next four to six years a whirlwind will shake the established powers of the world even as they attempt to tighten their grip on the helm of power. People will discover that they themselves are powerful and that they are many. The revolution will unfold through what is universally true about all of you; that you are all children of one Source, and no religion, belief, or other temporal power will keep you in separation from each other or from Source any longer. You live on the Earth and She is your Mother. But you are not of the Earth, nor do you belong to Her. You are of Spirit, and you are everywhere and everything. Remember, there are many mansions.
There is a storm-watch set. There are storms and earthquakes coming and though the mountains slide into the sea, fear nothing. As these times unfold, and as you discover and embrace the truth within you, the old structures that are unable or unwilling to transmute and align with the new awareness will dissolve back into their elemental state. The old world will be swept away and there will be a new Heaven, and a new Earth.
The stage is set for the resurrection of Consciousness, Light and Love within humanity, for the Second Coming to awaken and arise within the Hearts of all who choose to end the long sorrow of separation, the dark night of the soul. The One is infiltrating the matrix and it is the power of Love that will overcome it. You are Neo, the One. Be resolute.
Revelations will shake the world, revolutions will arise. Resurrection is here, right now. It is imperative to choose joy above all else. It is your nature. When you are afraid, shake yourself like an earthquake and remember who you are. If you are thirsty or hungry, drink and eat from the well of Spirit…you will be fed and satisfied. When you are in doubt and sorrow, feel it all so that the cup of sorrows may be emptied and then be filled with joy.
There are three R’s, and there is a fourth…Rejoice! Be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world…and so will you.
Peace to all of you on this Easter Celebration.”
