SPIRIT: Bartholomew

LOCATION: Abbotsford, BC
I am Bartholomew and I take my rightful place in this circle. For while you meet over the wires, this circle does originate from the Caribbean and I am the overseer of this area.
What is most significant in all the words that were expressed in this opening prayer is how you shared the human conditioning that you are so used to, this part of you that continues to be used to move through you in the way that you navigate your life, and how this conditioning, even though out of harmony, is familiar. It is familiarity, the ways of being that are familiar, that causes your mind some degree of ease, even though, in truth, it generates suffering and generates further ways of being out of harmony.
I do not say these things as a criticism, but rather as a way to bring an awareness and the opportunity to observe yourself, your own human conditioning and the pull that it has on your life. Because when you are able to do this from a place of neutrality, where you are not defensive, but you are open to receiving the blessing of God’s Love coming into that part of you and transforming it into something that is within the laws and in harmony, then you notice within yourself change that is happening.
Now, the mind is very resistant to change, open in some ways, but insistent in others. You have a struggle within, those ways of being that really are not in harmony, but they are familiar. They are cultural. They are the way that you have always thought, you have always done things or performed certain ways of being in your own life. As you grow, as your soul develops with God’s Love and awakens, you have this ability to be able to look at certain things straight on, where you are not bargaining, or you are not dancing around certain things, or you are not willing to hear, to see, to perceive and to know. This is a tall order, but it is one that is worth taking, because if you want to progress, if you want to become that channel of love, that channel of light that emanates out into the world, you must be willing, through your compassion, to have a look at these things that do not serve you and that ultimately keep you away from your purpose. We are here to inspire you and, at times, our inspiration comes across quite strongly. But what good is it for us to coddle you? What good does it serve you for us to not help you to discern more truthfully? In this way, we would not be in alignment and that is not possible for us.
I come this day with the greatest sense of love, with these words that are strong, that are not minced and that are direct. For that is my nature. We all must serve in the ways that God is asking of us. Some come with a demeanour that is softer. Some, like myself and your great teacher Augustine, can come with a little bit more directness, because that is our nature. We want you to progress. We want you to grow. At times, we come to help you to have that sight of that conditioning that is familiar to you, but yet is causing you pain and suffering, and how you might allow God into that so that you grow, being a demonstration of harmony. It is not about being this demonstration for the world, but more so showing yourself and having the experience of what it means for God’s Love to transform you, so that your nature has more qualities of this Divine Essence.
I leave you with these words. I join you in prayer as we open our souls for that mighty inflowing, letting God into those conditions that you carry that no longer serve you. I am Bartholomew, happy to speak to you and bring a little wisdom and truth into your day. God bless you.
