September 27, 2020 Sunday Afternoon, Aaron/Yeshua Dialogues, Session 1
Acting From a Place of Love in a Polarized World; Being Peace, Creating a Vortex of Peace; Desire/Pleasure: Should I or Shouldn’t I?
Barbara: Colette has been doing some beautiful and clear channeling, a lot with Yeshua and also her own guides. Aaron invited this meeting, suggested it would be a chance for Colette to practice, to let him and Yeshua hang out together. Obviously, they can talk on any plane any time they want, but this is just a chance for Colette to practice more with trance channeling and a dialogue with Aaron and Yeshua.
Aaron also wants to invite anybody—he says, I am paraphrasing him now, he’s not incorporated—all of us are mediums. And—Aaron says, Enough, please to let him come in… This is Barbara—I’m leaving…
Aaron: My blessings and love to you. I am Aaron.
In your world today it is increasingly important for each of you that is of a higher consciousness, to take increasing responsibility for connecting to the highest level of consciousness possible.
Your guides have no more wisdom than you have. All of you are very wise. But you become a vehicle for your guides, so that additional viewpoints can come forth.
It’s very valuable in our world today for each of you to take as much responsibility as possible to being the highest consciousness that you are, and learning how to express the thoughts of that consciousness, whether they are the thoughts of you, your higher self, or of your guidance.
There is so much fear and pain in the world today. Each of your highest consciousness is vital to help support the balance. So, while Yeshua and I will be talking at first, and perhaps other entities through Barbara’s body or Colette’s body, we also invite each of you to feel any impulse from spirit to speak. Please let us know that spirit would like to speak, or you would like to speak, and to do your best with it. We’re all here to support each other in such practice.
(welcoming one final participant, the circle is now complete)
Let us all energetically take hands and hold a circle together.
We open this session for the highest good of all beings and harm to none.
We invite any entity to speak into our circle who comes for the highest good of all beings and harm to none.
We welcome you, Brothers and Sisters of Light, human and spirit.
May this circle support all beings and support the transition of the whole Earth and all sentient beings upon that Earth, into the light.
I will step back now and invite my beloved friend, Yeshua, or any other being that wishes to speak…
Yeshua (speaking through Colette, C): Beloved ones, I am Yeshua. I greet you in love. My heart is so full of joy to meet with all of you this way. To share this time with my brother, Aaron, and with you all is such a delight. I also open this circle to any of you who would like to speak, or to my brother Aaron, if you would like to speak.
Aaron: My beloved friend, Yeshua, a joy to connect with you in this way. And of course, you know me as Nathaniel, as Aaron, and in names that none of these humans can pronounce, for our names are not limited to Yeshua or Aaron, or any such term. We are, and all of you are, light and love.
Yeshua, we have shared this message of love and light through many lifetimes. It has been a great privilege and joy to me to hold you as beloved brother, to learn from you and walk with you.
I would ask you, my friend, what thoughts you have for these humans, who are so struggling right now on Earth, with the Covid-19 virus, with the enormity of hatred and anger that are expressing itself through politics, with the environmental challenges, and so much more. I pass it to you…
Yeshua (C): Thank you, my brother. It is truly a difficult time. And yet underneath all of the chaos, fear—the feeling that old systems are decaying and that there is no firm road into the future—I would say to you: yes, be aware of these things: but realize that they are just a surface symptom, a sign that you can see, that looks so destructive, but underneath it is the new birth of the Earth coming forward.
And so, to look beyond just what you see, to not become trapped in that, to not let it trip you up. I would say to you to take sovereignty over your own inner peace. And by that I mean, yes, be aware of what is happening in the world, but to center yourself— to continue to bring yourself back to center and stand in that safety of love and light. Because it is in that place where you have the wisdom to know how to respond and the boundaries of safety so as to not get caught in fear.
So I would say that the first thing you can do is to stand in that place. Invite your guidance in that place and know that you do not stand alone.
My brother Aaron, I pass this on to you. I am Yeshua.
Aaron: Thank you, Yeshua. I remember a time 2,000 years ago, Yeshua, when I was privileged to walk through the countryside with you for a few days. We heard cries in the distance. We came to an area where we knew there was a leper colony. People from the nearby city, filled with fear, had come out with weapons—rocks, sticks, even knives—intent on driving these lepers out of their caverns in the hills.
I looked to you then for guidance—what should we do? You invited me to take your hand, and several others who were with us, and walk up into the hills. The lepers of course were not protecting themselves in any way, but they didn’t know what to do. Let me say it differently—they were not defending themselves; they were protecting themselves by withdrawing into the cave. Those who attacked were afraid of them, did not want to touch them. So if they withdrew, the attackers would not bodily come after them but would throw knives or stones.
You brought us there to the mouth of the cave, and very quietly you built a fire there and brought out some food, and had us all sit. Behind us were the lepers trying to find shelter in their cave, and in front of us were the people from the town who were very angry at the lepers and at us.
I’ll never forget what you did, Yeshua. You simply looked up to them, held out a bowl, and said, “Would you like some soup?” These townsfolk backed away. Now, when I say townsfolk, this was not a town two minutes’ walk but 2 or 3 days’ walk.
At first, they backed away. They looked at you like, “Is this man crazy?” But then, one or two who were hungry came forth and said, “Thank you, I’d like soup.” And they sat down. Then we had 10 or 12 sitting.
You called into the cave to the lepers, “Soup is ready!” And you indicated to them, “Please sit back there so these people with us will feel safe.” They sat a respectful distance away, a distance in which their leprosy would not transfer very easily. They sat. At first the townsfolk moved to get up and away. “No!” You just said, “Sit; it is safe.” And you handed these few lepers some bowls of soup.
Eventually, the whole leper colony and the whole group that came to oppose them were all sitting and eating. We still don’t know how you made soup for 50 people! But there was plenty of soup for everyone, and we all ate together.
This seems to me like a vital teaching for the world today. There is such great oppositionality, such great fear. It is for those of somewhat higher consciousness to understand how to work with their own fear and consternation, how to invite others into the circle through whatever might be the modern equivalent of soup.
How can all of you who have deep anxiety about many parts of the world today, how can you become one in the circle with others who you see as opponents, or who see you as opponents? How can we begin through love and through connection to dissolve all the oppositionality so that people’s fear begins to relax to the point that they can see that the brother across on the other side of the fire is no different from themselves?
The way you handled that, Yeshua, was an important lesson to me, Nathaniel, at that time.
I pass it back to Yeshua or to anyone else, any other entity or human who wishes to speak. I should say that differently; of course, the humans are entities, too! Any other entity, spirit or human, who wishes to speak…
Yeshua (C): I am Yeshua, and I wish to speak briefly and then open it to others.
But I remember that so well, my brother. And that is such a beautiful example to bring into this discussion today.
Because the power of that experience for those who were with us was not seeing something extraordinary being done, it was not seeing a display of activity or energy.
What it was, was creating a vortex of stillness and peace: and that radiates out. It creates a boundaried place, which we were in at that time, but it is not an impermeable boundary. It creates a sense of safety, so that others feel that they can approach if they want to.
So the strength of the ability to bring peace into this world is not so much activity and running around and trying to solve the problems.
It first starts with you being able to be totally in peace and embody that —for you to be aware of fear or reactivity—whatever is occurring around you at that time. But to stand solid, to stand neutral, I would say.
It is as my brother Aaron often says, just to be with what is, but to let it arise and pass away; which is what he has been teaching you for so long. When you can do that, then that extends to everything around you.
Those around you do not understand it, they could not explain it, but they feel it. And so that peace reaches out energetically.
And so I ask you to think of that when you are thinking, “What shall I do?” Yes, there are many things you can do and they need to be done. But without that deep centeredness, it can become frazzled and ineffective.
So I leave this conversation here now and open it to the rest of you, human or spirit, who would like to speak.
Q: A practical exercise that I often use and teach is to take a deep breath and allow that light and love to come into your heart, and then offer it. Just imagine spreading that out around you and towards those around you. It helps settle the fear, the anger, the emotions—anything that is not compassion or love. And, as you say, people don’t understand what is happening, but it can change the environment quite a bit.
So instead of us contracting when we’re surrounded by anger and these other strong emotions, if we can open up and share that unconditional love from our Creator and ourselves, it helps change the whole environment.
Yeshua (C): So true, my brother, and well said. Thank you.
Q: I sometimes don’t trust myself with regard to trying to go out into the world and make something happen. And so most of the time, I am trusting that if I just prepare myself, that I will be put in a situation in which I might be able to practice standing in a centered place and offering compassion.
Is this true? Or do I need to also be thinking of co-creating a situation in which I might have the opportunity to offer something?
Aaron: I am Aaron. It is so. Just to be and to be open to what comes. As soon as there is a thinker and a doer, you lose touch with that place of center, that one who knows. We welcome the thinker and doer as expression of the one who knows. But don’t get lost in self-identity with that thinker or doer.
And this of course is so much of what your meditation practice is about, how not to get caught in the self-identity. Because the one who is not caught in the self-identity is the one through whom this high vibration naturally will flow. I pause.
Q: Because the world is so activating right now, I sometimes wonder to what extent I’m hiding. I don’t want to hide. But like you said, Aaron, I am very aware of this person that I have been all my life who has been over-identified with the thinker and the doer. So I’m trying to find a balance, I guess, of not hiding, but not getting self-identified.
Yeshua (C): My dear one, I am Yeshua and I would answer that. That is just the way of the human, to be identified with their physical body, their mental body, their emotional body. It is not a problem. And yet, it is good to have awareness of that when that comes into play.
Because being in your essence, the fullness of your essence, being that channel—I envision it as a column of light, moving from the center of the earth through you and back to Source—and standing in this beautiful column of light and just knowing that that is who you are. You are Source. You are everything. You are every being. There is nothing that you need to do.
Yes, In human form, there are things you want to do and can do. But until you can be in that place, and move out in activity into the world from that place, you are only accessing a part of the wisdom and the energy and the love that you can bring into your activity.
So there is no need to think, “Oh, I need to put that all away.” But to remember that the grounding of be-ing is the place from which all that comes. And then you can use that more wisely. I pause.
Aaron: Thank you, Yeshua. And as you speak in that way, you remind me, and I’ll share this with the group, of how often at the close of a day, when people were tired, when there was fear or worry, you would invite everyone, “Where is joy, here? Let us sing! Let us dance!” Staying in touch with remembering that which is awake and joyful in the self. I pause.
Q: In my experience, if you simply walk through each day with the request for the highest and best attempt of your service, then situations that are appropriate for you to be a part of will present themselves. You don’t have to ask for specific things; just, each day, ask for the highest and best intent.
Yeshua (C): And that is such a good point. Because the human naturally wants to plot and plan and organize and have everything set out—I’m going to this and that and do this and that and get to this goal.
Well, there is some benefit to that within the human life. But you—as beings who are here to embody love and light, and to embody the way of peace—you do not need to create opportunity as my brother Q mentioned. All you have to do is continue to be present in each moment. And what is for you—the realm in which you can act—will be there.
Whether you see it coming about by some kind of spiritually led divine intention, or simply that you are in an environment and something happens, it will come as you are ready for it. And you will have what you need to respond to it if you stay in that place of centeredness—what I call the column of love and light.
Q: I’m also seeking balance, particularly around pleasure and sort of like, moving into, say, enjoying a sexual experience, and but like wanting freedom from needing the pleasure, and in that, feeling the need to say no, like, now’s not the time for this experience. Like it would be coming more from escape or indulgence in some way that had a negative impact. And my question is, how to say no to myself; seeking pleasure with love.
Yeshua (C): My brother Aaron, would you like to respond to that first?
Aaron: I am Aaron. Q, whatever is your favorite delicious and nutritious food, if I set out a bowl of that for you and also a bowl of something that was nutritious but essentially tasted like mud, and said, “I give you your choice,” would you think, “I should not choose the delicious one.”?
Why would you not choose the delicious one? This is part of the wonder of being human! That there is delight to the human senses. Not grasping, not craving, but delight. And that brings joy. I pause and open this to others.
Yeshua (C): So I would ask, when you are considering a situation, whether to embrace pleasure or postpone it, what is the quandary, the conundrum, the thing that comes that says, “No, perhaps I should not?” Can you explain that?
Q: There’s often a knowledge that it’s, like, not my highest expression, it’s not my highest vibration. It’s just like, it’s easy. And so there’s a desire to say no, to make space for something else, or at least to be present with my emotional experience without, like, dulling it with a pleasurable experience.
Yeshua (C): I understand what you are saying. There are several components to this. I mean, certainly to have awareness if some desire is coming forth whether that is appropriate to a situation—or whether that is like a little door that is opening to the side that you can escape into if there is something else that is present that needs to be addressed in some way—so you have discernment about that.
And yet pleasure—whether it is just the pleasure of something brief or delicious, say a candy bar or something—pleasure in itself, there is nothing wrong with pleasure.
Yes, sometimes you need to discern—is this standing in for something else, as a distraction for something else that needs to be addressed?
But there are all levels of pleasure. There is the pleasure of the moment that is just to be enjoyed as is. As my brother Aaron said, if I offered you something delicious, and there was one that tasted like mud, why not take the one that is delicious?
And realize that every pleasure does not have to be extraordinary. It can just be brief and enjoyed for what it is and move on.
And yet at other times, set a time for sanctuary and sacred ritual to use pleasure for its ultimate, highest purpose.
But pleasure in each of its forms by itself is not a problem.
I do not know if I have answered your question or made it more complicated for you. I welcome your feedback.
Q: It sounds like we’re in agreement that there is a time of indulging that’s not helpful. So the question still stands: how do you say no with love? Because there’s often like a force when I say it, and then there’s, like, an unwillingness to say no, because I don’t want to be forceful. And so I can kind of sense the answer. Like, I want to hear it from you! (laughing)
Yeshua (C): (laughing) Passing the responsibility! But I’m joking. I love to joke, Colette will tell you I love to joke, so I hope you can just sense my humor.
So when you say “saying no,” are you talking about pleasure in relationship to being with someone else at that time? Are you just talking about pleasure in a solitary way, whatever that might be?
Q: More in a solitary way. It could be like TV, food, or masturbation.
Yeshua (C): Okay. So those things in and of themselves are neutral things.
But if there is some contraction arising in you saying, “I’m drawn to this because I’m avoiding something else,” find that place in yourself to see what the problem is.
What is it that is causing the contraction? Is it because you know that you are wanting to move off into something pleasurable because you do not want to deal with something else? That is something only you can know and inquire into for yourself.
I do not know if I am answering this any more thoroughly. Are we going where you want to go with this? Or help me understand more fully.
Q: You tell what I want to do, but how do I do it? (laughing)
Yeshua (C): So how do you say no to pleasure, or how do you just embody enjoying pleasure? Either or both?
There is no need to say no to anything that is not unwholesome and that does not cause harm. But there is a need to know: am I using it for something that is not for my highest good?
It is not that the pleasure in itself is wrong—the ice cream cone, the sexual experience—it is not that those are wrong.
If you cannot fully enjoy that and embody it for whatever it is at every level —if there is some contraction, something drawing you away—then that perhaps is a sign to you that you need to go and address what this other thing is before deciding if you will move forward with this pleasurable experience.
So perhaps my brother Aaron would like to say more…
Aaron: Thank you, Yeshua, and all of you. What I find most important here is bringing into the self is not better or worse than denial. The question is, what brings up any contraction around the full receiving of this object or experience?
Based in my highest intention to do no harm to any being, to do only good, to serve all beings with love—based on that intention, if I contract with a feeling that there should not in this moment be the sexuality, or the ice cream cone, or that there must be one of those, grasping after it, then I will want to pause and ask myself, “In this moment, if I take this into myself, is there something I am avoiding through this experience of momentary fulfillment? If I push this away from myself, is there some fear or doubt that I am avoiding, thinking I can deny these uncomfortable feelings by pushing away the candy bar?”
It is this degree of self-honesty; coming to know the true self, the one who is fully openhearted and unafraid. The one who can receive everything, say thank you, and pass it right on without holding it. The one who can see that which is truly distorted in some way and say, “No, thank you.”
The simple thought comes up here of the person who is eating the ice cream cone or seeking the sexual fulfillment because there is some pain that it does not wish to acknowledge. So gradually we open and hold our hearts open. And as you can open yourself to your own pain, then you no longer need the sweetness of the candy bar or the sexual experience.
It is only then that you can receive them with joy because they come to you out of the experience of human delight. After all, you are human, you are entitled to delight. That’s part of the human experience, and part of the teacher—not to grasp after delight but to thoroughly open to and enjoy that which delights. I pause.
Q: I have a question for you [directed to Q who brought up this subject]. So, human culture tends to label pleasurable things wrong. Don’t sit around and watch TV; that’s wrong, it’s not good for you. Don’t eat that good dish because the nutritious one that tastes like mud is better for you. Don’t have sexual pleasure for many reasons. Is part of your saying no because of the label of wrong? And then I would ask that you sort of look at that more closely.
Q: Well, that’s where it begins. But I have moved on and I’ve said yes to all pleasure in a way that also doesn’t feel in balance. And so, it’s letting go of the good and the bad, and really using the discernment that Aaron was saying—to be like, is this what the highest expression of me wants? And like, great, and like, enjoy it fully, and I have no problem doing that. It’s really about finding that balance.
Aaron: It is about finding balance. This is what this heavy density human experience is about. You’re going to have a lot of time on the non-physical planes to ponder and discuss much of this.
Here, on the human plane, it’s a time of exploration. What happens when I do this? What are the repercussions? What happens when I do that?
Come back to your highest intention to be of service to all beings, to do no harm, to do only good, to live in love. And then you have to keep testing. Using the food metaphor, unless you taste the soup, you will not know whether it needs more salt. I pause.
Q: I was wondering, you know, you’re saying that you’re wondering if your highest self is going to benefit from this pleasurable experience. And I found myself wondering, maybe your highest self doesn’t have a clue what that experience is because it’s your lower density self that is having the experience.
I mean, I know there’s no separation, for sure. But I resonate with your quandary, I have to say. And after what Q said, I think that like you said for yourself, for me there has been lately—because Colette has shared with me some of what Yeshua has offered through her—that I’ve really returned to a deeper understanding that joy and pleasure are something that helps to bring light into the world.
Q: And that’s something that Aaron has told us to do, that I’ve not remembered to do all the time—is when you are experiencing something, delight and pleasure, to offer it out to the whole universe, to creation, to everything—and don’t just have it for yourself or think of it as, you know, I’m doing this for me and maybe it’s not okay. But if you do do it, then to share it and let it flow out, whatever it is you’re experiencing.
Q: I heard something in all these pieces that were being shared in response to Q’s question about saying no to the experience. And something in Aaron’s response brought up for me that in that pause, it’s like saying yes to the perhaps deeper feelings, deeper experience, that sort of like maybe the pleasure can cover up. Or, like, is sort of a seeking at times to avoid that—that deeper bubbling that’s underneath.
And that my experience in that is when I take that pause and I experienced that deep bubbling—even if it’s kind of like not the most pleasurable experience—it then like moves through into more connection, more light, more pleasure in some form—even if it’s just connection with those deep feelings.
Yeshua (C): I am Yeshua, and I would like to speak to that. I think you brought up a very important point, whether it is regarding pleasure or any other experience: but let us talk about sexual pleasure at this moment.
Even though physically we are feeling pleasure, we can still be very defended and energetically blocked off from embodying that and allowing it to permeate, to move—to be able to open your energy field and move through any defenses that might be there.
So in anything—whether it is pleasure or otherwise—it is important to be able to be fully present in the moment as much as you can, and to tune in and allow that pleasure to expand—and then gradually move through it.
It was beautifully stated, what you said. And also a reminder that in any experience, we can experience it very much physically or mentally, and it can be enjoyable—but are you allowing it to permeate all of you and for you to embody all of it?
And that is what gives it power and healing: it makes it more than just a solitary experience. Because as you move that through you, it moves out into the energy field of the Earth. I pause.
Q: Yes, our energy and our vibration changes and expands: and we do share it with the rest of the world. And I’ll share what I experienced when you’re making love to somebody and really sharing love—and it’s not just about sex, you’re actually making love—these little energy orbs come off your bodies and your energy centers. They float off into the universe. It helps populate love. It’s an amazing experience. So you’re sharing that with everybody.
Yeshua (C): Thank you, my brother for adding that: thank you.
We tend to not realize that energy is not totally bounded; that everything we experience has some impact on the wider energy around us. And that the energy of bliss—which does not necessarily have to be sexual—but that energy which is actually bliss is the quantum realm of creation from which everything comes.
When you add bliss, however it comes about, that is powerful. Adding anger, adding sorrow or grief—of course, we experience those things and those permeate the energy field too—but to join your bliss with the bliss of creation and let that filter through all of the creation—that is powerful change.
And as humans, we forget that because we are so bounded within our own self, and so reactive to what is occurring right in our environment. We lose the sense that it is all connected and we can spread the energy and the love into that field. It is not something people see.
But all of you are bringing this energy and love at this time—and millions of others are bringing this into this time of transition—both embodied Earth beings and beings of light—and it is all bubbling and it is growing. And you sometimes only see the sorrow and the suffering, not knowing that as this energy rises and as you contribute to it, it creates the shift: and bliss is the foundation of all of it. I pause.
The Mother (speaking through Barbara, B): Aaron has given me the body. I am The Mother, and I would like to speak to this.
First, my love to you all. This pouring off of beads of light, of love as energy, this is the whole heart of the light creation through which Yeshua, as one example, came into human form.
Any being co-creating from that place of light creation with the highest intention to love and to support love in the universe, in the experiencing of this light creation there will be bliss. And it is this energy of bliss that does, as Q put it, pours out into the universe. And each bit of it touches everything else and brings up the whole vibration, enhances the vibration, which is exactly what is needed on Earth right now.
Yet as humans, because you forget your ability for light creation, you pull back from that kind of bliss because you are so deeply conditioned, “Oh, this is wrong. This is self-centered,” or whatever the story may be.
At a certain point it behooves you to begin to trust yourself—the power of your awakened heart and mind, the power of your intentions to do no harm and to support love.
Then, if the extra chocolate bar or whatever it is comes your way and there’s a subtle contracted energy, “Oh, I want that!” Or sexual energy that is not deeply grounded in love for all beings—with mindfulness training, you’ll be aware, “This has arisen.”
And it’s not something to say, “Oh—naughty, naughty!” Just, “Ah—hello, human. Hello, human that I am. I cherish this and all humans, and out of my free will I choose not to enact that which comes from any form of contraction. So, I let it go.”
It is in this way that you learn the power that each of you has for light creation, which does not necessarily mean the creation of a new human; that’s just one expression of it. But light creation is part of what is happening and needs to happen on the Earth right now, to bring forth the transition. Light creation of a newly ascending consciousness and a newly ascended planet.
I thank you.
Q: I have a question that goes back a little bit, about clearing; I’m not sure that my question was clearer earlier about moving into blissful states or enjoying at all.
When the lifetime story has created a depression, a depressive state, and needing to clear and when—I’m sorry, I’m not being articulate at all—when it’s appropriate to say, “Time to leave the story behind and enjoy something,” versus, “Oh, I’ve got these stories, I can’t enjoy anything until they’re cleared.” Because I’m contracting, so I’m not.
The stories can just pile on top of each other, and become very confusing. So if we enjoy just a little tiny of bliss, but there’s still stuff, maybe we are trying to not make it feel, make something feel better. And I’m not quite sure what to ask, how to ask this. Does that make sense, what I’ve said?
Q: Are you asking how to put the stories behind so that you can enjoy bliss and pleasure?
Q: Yes: and then in the meantime, while the stories are being put behind—knowing that maybe the bliss and pleasure is…because, since there’s still stories—does that somehow make the bliss and pleasure something less?
I think I’ve lived under the idea that it’s not okay to have pleasure. First of all, if other people aren’t—if there’s anybody on this that’s planet not having pleasure— then I need to stay in this place with them, which I understand is not true.
But also, as long as I’ve got stuff personally that needs to be cleared, I can’t possibly engage in pleasure, because I’m still contracted.
And maybe is there a way to do that? When is it okay to say, “Go ahead and have some pleasure? Yeah, you’ve got these stories, and you’re working on them, but go ahead and have some pleasure?”
And then how to tune that? How to find that place, if the stories are strong? How do you find the place of the pleasure? Like a concrete way of doing that.
Yeshua (C): I am Yeshua, and I hear your question, Q.
For so long, in the history of your Earth, there has been a purposeful plan, or manipulation, to divorce human beings from the wholeness of themselves. And sexuality and pleasure has been a main way that that has come down through history.
Because if the human only knew the power of sexuality and bliss—and that it is the creative source that can bring you into full merging with the divine, into the fullness of adding that into the creation—then humans could not have been controlled.
So a lot of what underlies attitudes in humans towards pleasure—and not just you—most humans in this society will have absorbed some of this, whether they are consciously aware of it or not.
The first attitude is that there is something wrong with pleasure, and then the feelings of guilt and shame. Then the thought that even though you have the capacity to experience pleasure, how could you possibly be so selfish to do it when there are people starving? There are wars…whatever litany of things that you can look into the world and see. And so the humans have been conditioned to divorce themselves from that source of power, that pleasure, that bliss.
Of course, every human has stories: not only stories related to these mostly unconscious attitudes that have been passed down through history, but their own stories.
So there is some work to be done with that in looking at these unconscious attitudes that have come through that are not necessarily yours—but exist in the mass consciousness, the Zeitgeist that has been created through Earth’s history— and to separate that out.
And also to realize, you are made for pleasure! And I do not just mean sexual pleasure in the most common understanding of that word—but pleasure is life! Pleasure is the fullness of energy expanded and shared.
So find a way to be tender with yourself— being aware that conflicted feelings are present, aware of the contractions, aware of the stories—and to take some time to spend with yourself.
Ground yourself, meditate: connect to higher energies and make time to be with pleasure, in whatever way you choose, and to not rush it. And when you feel that stirring of aliveness, that pleasure of arousal, to not rush to dissipate it or rush to shut it down and run away.
Can you sit there? Can you breathe there? Can you be aware of the contractions? Can you try and release them? Can you be aware of the story and not let it take you away?
This is not an easy thing to do. It does not happen overnight. But with love for yourself and with support, can you fully embody that energy of which you are made of and enjoy it? And so this is just a place to start.
I would pass this to my brother Aaron.
Aaron: Instead of responding to this myself, with your permission I would like to invite Love to come through and speak. Is that okay with you? (Group: Yes.)
Love (B): I am Love. You are love. You came forth onto this Earth as an expression of love, of light, of divinity, and to play with and get to know this expression. To see what would happen on a heavier density planet when a consciousness that kept raising itself higher came forth to permeate the planet.
As long as there is any sense of shame or wrongness, you contract and make yourself small, and thus diminish the available energy of the Earth itself.
With compassion for the human experience and a sense of joy and playfulness, willing to join in the dance fully, you raise the vibration of the planet.
It is this raising of vibration for which you came, for yourselves and for the Earth. You are Love’s eyes and ears and voice. I, as Love, cannot dance. Dance for me! Laugh for me! Eat the chocolate and the strawberries and enjoy the sexual arousal. Feel wonder in your oneness with every sentient being and with the Earth, and with all that is out there beyond the Earth. Wonder: you are; you are alive. You are awake. You are love.
When you lived in that proverbial Garden of Eden, there was never a sense of shame because you knew that you were one with all things, and that there was nothing ultimately bad versus good. There was no possibility of doing harm because you knew your connection with everything.
But when you stepped out of that garden and began to see yourself as separate, then the human emotions of greed and selfishness, neediness, began to come up. And then the whole idea of duality—good and bad, right and wrong.
I am not saying there is no difference—to act in such ways as to do real harm to people is both karmically expensive and destructive and brings you far into a place of negative polarity.
But to respond to that impulse or actual speech or action of harm with shame and self-negation just brings you back into deeper separation.
This Earth has been given as a ground for learning compassion. If there was no catalyst in which shame or doubt or anger ever arose, how would you learn compassion?
Aaron has said this to you many times, so I’m not saying anything new to you.
The ground of moral awareness and deep commitment to do no harm, is a base.
Knowing of yourself as connected with all that is, that is a base.
Knowing yourself as an expression of Love, that is a base.
And patience for this whole experience.
You did volunteer, but I don’t think you quite knew what you were volunteering for! So, it’s a bit harder than you thought it might be.
But you are so deeply loved. And I love you.
I would turn here specifically to Yeshua. My beloved one—all of you, of course, beloved ones—but Yeshua and I have a, let us call it a relationship in which we have seen more deeply into each other. I thank you for being here and speaking through this instrument. Because what you offer now, the world needs so badly; not just Colette or Yeshua but all of you in this circle, and all of the wisdom that stands inside and behind you.
I am Love. I love you. You are love. Please do not forget you are love. And you are human. And there is no separation in this. I thank you.
Yeshua (C): Thank you so much to Love, to my brother Aaron, to all of you. I am basking in this love and this energy. I hope that you can feel the love from us as well.
This love, this energy, this beauty, this joy—this bliss that is your natural state—that is what will change the world. And each one of you here fully has the ability to remove the cocoon, to remove the webs, the karmic threads, the threads of the stories, and the threads of the distortions of the culture.
You chose to come into this culture at this time, knowing the challenges of this culture, especially in this country, and you are all well-suited to meet those challenges. All of you have been fully immersed within the third density paradigm of this culture so that you can see the parts of it that are limiting.
But you are not limited, my dear ones. You are used to feeling that you are limited, as all humans are. But now is the time to find the fullness of who you are, to move into that, to realize that each one of you have gifts that you have honed over eons, that you have purposely brought into this incarnation because the world needs it. The transition needs it. And there are many—not just those of us that are here, but millions—all doing the same work.
And so embrace that, embody that; be compassionate with yourself. Realize you are not perfect, you probably will never be perfect, and perfection is not needed. What is needed is awareness and love—deep love and compassion for yourself, love and compassion for the whole world—and trust and faith that you are here for a purpose.
At times you look at the things within yourself and think that they would disqualify you and prevent you from doing what you are called to do. Beloved ones, that is not true, because you have the capacity to find that place of love.
And even if you cannot, at every moment, extend that same love to yourself, you can bathe yourself in it, and you can learn to come into that column that I talked about—to learn to bring yourself into that when you feel weary or blind or just tired—and bring yourself there.
The more you can bring yourself there and center yourself there, the more you are filled with the love and light and the bliss, and the more you can take that out into the world.
Do not ask of yourself that you will take it out into the world perfectly; that is not required. But it is your intention to do that, to be of service.
And so I ask you to remember who you truly are. You are not just this body you see in the mirror. You are not just the stories that run through your head. You are not just those other things that you are used to defining yourself by.
You are the Creator. You are a sun. You are a star. You are a radiant being. The radiance that you are extends into the radiance of all creation.
So I say to you that when you are tired, when you are upset, when you are angry—when you feel contracted, when you feel like there is no hope, when you feel shame— those are painful states, but they can they can be passing when you learn to ground yourself.
And to remember the beloved teachings of my beloved brother, Aaron, all that he has taught you about learning to stay centered in the bridge. Learning to see things arise and allowing them to pass away. In learning to stay centered—and I would say not just centered in the bridge—but centered in that great column of love, light and energy and bliss that connects you to Source.
As humans, we keep moving out and running all around and thinking there is someplace else we need to be. But that is the only place we need to be. And in that place is the love that will allow you to do that which you are called to do.
And so I thank you for being here today. I leave you in love and light. I am Yeshua.
Aaron: I am Aaron. If now seems like an appropriate resting place—I call it a resting, not a stopping. There is no stopping, just a pause for a breath. But perhaps this would be a good place for an extended breath.
I would consecrate all of our highest love, highest intentions, whatever good comes out of this gathering, to the highest good for all beings.
Through our coming together in this way and through our love, may all beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering.
May all beings on every plane be free, be happy, and find peace.
If Yeshua is in agreement, we’ll draw this session to a close. Yeshua, if you have anything you wish to add, please do…
Yeshua (C): My beloved brother, I have nothing else to add except my gratitude for the willingness of all of you to be here today and share this time with us. Thank you.
Aaron: I would like to add my gratitude to Yeshua, who was my beloved teacher 2,000 years ago, and without whom I would not be here teaching you here today! They say what goes around, comes around, and that is true of love, especially.
Yeshua (C): So true!
Aaron: I will release this body to Barbara…
Barbara: Thank you, Aaron…
