Council of 12 to address a key element now needed within humanity for
our progression into a higher vibrational way of living and being.
Wesak, after all, is about enlightenment. The new paradigm we are
creating is directly connected to humanity's awakening into a more
enlightened consciousness. In fact, for us to successfully create our
new paradigm world in the midst of our current planetary chaos, we
must discover a more light-filled approach to everyday living. The
Wesak energies available to us for several weeks each spring can be
pivotal factors in our successfully navigating the great shift
occurring now in the window of 2012. At Wesak time each year, we
recognize that enlightenment is our true natural state, encoded within
the DNA of our physical form. We celebrate our own potential to
realize this enlightened state in this very life. I have asked The
Council to bless each one of us by helping us to heal a key obstacle
to our own personal enlightenment. As part of that, I have asked that
we receive an energetic opening that will allow for a quickened
awakening process. In our global Wesak group process with The Council
of 12 on both May 9 and June 6, we will facilitate potent peace
prayers for the Earth and all of humanity. Meanwhile, this Wesak
message, addressing the real challenges we face now, is intended for
you!"   Imagine that the Buddha and other enlightened ones from humanity's
past were alive today. What would they think about the state of the world? How would they
respond to what is happening? What solutions would they propose to
resolve the world's growing array of crises? How would they describe
the jewel of enlightenment for these modern times? If one of these enlightened beings were sitting in your living room,
what questions would you want to ask? Allow a few questions to come
naturally into your mind right now. Go with the first ones you think
of, trusting your inner knowing to reveal to you some issues you often
ponder. Of your list of questions, which one seems the most urgent, the most
crucial, and the most pivotal to your success? Which question relates
to present moment concerns? Which one is really more of a "what if,"
connected to something that might happen? Which question seems to
repeat like a broken record in your head, perhaps keeping you awake at
night? Contemplating your life questions can provide useful clues about your
own inner process. This can be valuable information as you seek to
better understand yourself, your world, and your role during these
pivotal moments of history. The idea is to become more present with
what is occurring in your outer world, seeing the connection between
these things and what's going within your mind, emotions, and body. When you are able to regularly get in touch with your response to
today's huge changes, the insights can help you to transmute fear and
shift your focus into more positivity. Look for patterns and themes
as you consider your questions. Examples of possible themes that can be at the root of questions: 1. Energy-how do I find my center and sustain my energy levels?
2. Fear-what can I do to become less fearful when there's so much to
worry about?
3. Health-how do I prevent a health crisis when under so much stress?
4. Perfectionism-will we get it right this time?
5. Safety-will I be safe?
6. Survival-will I have enough?
7. The Old Paradigm-how do I progress when I feel limited by the old
paradigm?
8. Time-is there enough time for me to fulfill my purpose?
9. Trust-how do I know who and what to trust?
10. Unknown-what will survive the great reconfiguration?
11. Value-what really matters?
12. Why-what is the point and why bother to care? If you personally relate to a number of these example themes and
questions, you are in good company. It's natural to have such
questions when so much is changing and you are enmeshed in your own
personal upheavals of change. Most of the people around you are asking at least one of these
questions regularly. Even those still asleep to the bigger picture of
what's going on are regularly focusing on some of these themes. There are many details and convoluted issues you can explore here.
Know that it is very useful to unravel them, shining light on each one
as it comes up within your awareness. You can greatly accelerate your
spiritual progression by doing this. If Buddha Were in Your Living Room If the Buddha were sitting in your living room, he would have plenty
to say about such topics. Much of what he would say, though, might
not sound that different from his teachings of over 2,000 years ago.
Those timeless teachings arose out of his quest for truth and an
understanding of human suffering. The Buddha is but one of many ordinary humans over the ages who
discovered how to master the duality of the Earth plane. Each of them
became enlightened in a process that involved recognition of universal
truths, and the application of these truths to living in the ordinary
world. These enlightened beings came from diverse heritages and parts of the
world. A number of religions prevalent today were started by their
followers. Those followers recognized the truth and light in their
teacher, and sought to preserve and spread the teachings to help
others. The Buddha and other enlightened ones who found liberation from human
suffering have left you a path to walk. To understand that path and
walk it with ease and grace, you will want to discover and learn to
embody the teachings they left behind. These teachings include simple
universal truths about life and the nature of reality. The Buddha and other enlightened beings did not intend to establish
rigid religions on the Earth. They did not seek followers or to be
worshiped. They simply shared what they had learned about the path of
awakening. To travel the path these wise ones laid out, there are no rigid rules
to follow. The approach of this path is not linear. It is not a path
with a "destination," or involving a timeframe you can force with your
human will. How do you go about walking this path, with ease and grace, and what
is required? First, know that in order to walk the path of enlightenment, it is not
required that you: 1. Be religious or affiliate with any specific religion
2. Memorize sacred books of knowledge or master dozens of spiritual
practices
3. Be employed in the outer world
4. Have the luxury of extended vacations
5. Be wealthy
6. Go into seclusion on a mountaintop or otherwise disconnect from
society
7. Be beautiful, young, or famous
8. Have a high IQ or an advanced degree
9. Live in any particular location
10. Remember all of your past lives and "where" you existed before
your Earthly experiences
11. Be in a relationship or partnership with any particular person
12. Have a fanciful purpose, or even know the outer world specifics of
what you are on Earth "to do" For the human on the path of awakening, these things are not
requirements. To be sure, a person may find inspiration and clarity
from some of these things. The elements helpful to one's path are
unique to each person. A person may need to be exposed to a certain
teacher, teaching, or life lesson. The helpful catalysts will vary,
depending on the person, the stage of awakening, and timings
involved. Timings include: 1. The timeframe of the person's lifespan and their waking up process
2. The number of lifetimes a person has been evolving spiritually and
advancing on the spiritual path
3. Humanity's cycles of evolutionary change, including pivotal windows
of time such as that which is occurring now, leading up to 2012 and
beyond Second, know that the Earth's enlightened beings have left a common
message to show the way. Their message involves wisdom about how to
move out of fear and to be: 1. Loving
2. Kind
3. Compassionate
4. Present
5. Fearless
6. Without judgment
7. Heart-focused
8. Cooperative
9. Patient
10. Joyful You live now with unprecedented opportunities to evolve spiritually.
It may seem to be the worst of times, with chaos and catastrophes
seemingly at every turn. You may question how you can advance when
your world is so full of hate. You may wonder how, in the window of 2012, with its many question
marks, you can achieve the kind of realization modeled by the Buddha.
You may doubt that the jewel of enlightenment can be yours this
life. For just a moment now, set aside these doubts. Let go of your
preconditions, your impatience, and your judgments about what is
possible. Trust the Divine Intelligence Trust that there is a Divine intelligence within you that can guide
you along the path of enlightenment. This wise part of you can
connect you with insights about the baggage you will want to let go of
in this current cycle. It can help you to prioritize your energies, your focus, and your
actions in the world. It can lead you to the people, teachers, and
transpersonal help you need to view yourself and your life
differently. You can discover new resources, new applications for transformational
tools, and simple methods to greatly accelerate your forward
movement. You can learn to connect more with the synchronicities of
life, and with eternal time rather than linear time. Here are 5 things you can do daily to progress rapidly: 1. Monitor your emotions, thoughts, and body. Each will give you very
helpful clues about what is out of balance and why. 2. Set specific intentions for what you want to have, be and do.
State these intentions in a positive way, rather than negative.
Example: I am feeling more and more confident each day. 3. Take action on the things you say you want to create. Act on one
thing at a time, allowing your intuitively guided wisdom to help you
prioritize. Even if all you did in one day was to take the 1-mile
walk you intended to, acknowledge yourself for doing that. 4. Find one or more simple practices to help you open your awareness.
These can be straightforward spiritual practices like deep breathing,
moments of silent contemplation, or just being as loving as you can in
each moment with your words and actions. The important thing is
consistency and finding something you will do daily. You will want to
have your "practice" in your mind and awareness during the day,
allowing it to become a part of your routine. 5. Begin and end each day with some positive and loving thoughts.
Loving thoughts include those of gratitude. Remember that your inner
state will determine how you experience your day as well as your sleep
state. Therefore, be as loving as you can towards yourself. Allow
that self-love to grow over time, creating an energy field inside of
you and around you, effortlessly broadcasting from you in all
directions. This love will begin to attract fortunate circumstances,
opportunities, and the love you seek from others and your world. As you continue the journey of rediscovering your Divine nature, we
surround you with our love and blessings. We are The Council of 12. ===== I as JL, am truly ready to live as Love, the Light Love that I am.

This is the cusp upon which the world stands, the transition through which the world progresses. It is the shift between the world of the mind and the world of the heart, between the human reality and the reality of Love. The world that the heart will show you will be so different from the world in which you are used to living that it will be as if you were the Phoenix risen on gilded wings in the new dawn. Everywhere around you where others might see destruction, your hearts will show you new life, real life awakening, rising into the Light of a new day -- a new Age and a New World that builds the bridge between the old world of duality and the truth of unity. Everywhere your heart touches, it blesses. What the single eye of the heart sees, it also loves with a Love that moves straight through you from All That I Am within you and All That I Ever Shall Be, as the world is encircled in grace and brought Home. Thus, step-by-step shall your heart free the world from the illusion of suffering. Moment-by-moment shall your heart unfreeze all that was held in bondage. Since your heart lives only in the glorious present, the world of the heart is the world nourished by Me, perfectly. It is fed upon the endless Light of life and blessed by the warmth of Real Love, limitless and yet, intimate. As each heart opens and the world is seen and loved through it, then each person is showered with Love, more and more Love, from all the hearts that surround it. Soon all those who once were lonely have been drawn into the wonderful human family that through the heart becomes far more than human. It becomes divine. It is the divine family of sharing, caring and elevating each other continually. The divine family lives each day dancing in faith in My abundance. The divine family lives in a world of Nature restored to its pristine glory as it was ever meant to be – a doorway to the truth of God, every tree whispering the truth of each beloved heart’s eternal nature; every flower showing you your potential to be the expression of perfect beauty; every step to the dance orchestrated by the Angels who watch over you and every movement guided by My voice, as I whisper within you. This is the world you are entering, when you make this all-important choice to live your life from the heart rather than living from the mind. The mind, beloved ones, is the instrument of the world that is fading away. The heart is the instrument that perceives only Love and only Light. The heart sees beauty in everything, a kaleidoscope of colors, luminescent, a mandala created out of humanity that expresses the divine pattern of worship. What the heart sees, it multiplies, for it sees only the truth of Love and Love is the substance from which All is made. Love is ever expressing more and more of itself. So when you love and you live the heart’s reality, then what you love creates effortlessly. Thus do you know the secret of the loaves and fishes and the secret to your prosperity. When you see the Love of which All is made, and you love it, you multiply it. Every particle of Love creates more of itself instantly and the basket of your life is a cornucopia of blessings. Truly, like the lilies in the fields you can dance through the life created by the heart knowing that every good thing is multiplied in your presence. I AM the endless truth of Love, vibrantly alive in All That Is. It is ever and has always been the heart’s jurisdiction to multiply the particles of Love, to dance the dance of Creation, to join truth with beauty, to move together as the masculine and feminine to multiply. Only Love and Light create. Only the living particles and waveforms of the universal element of Creation will bring true abundance to you. Not thought forms, not the little mind’s desires. Not the needs of the old world situation. I whisper deep within you, beloved ones, remember! Only Love creates and Love is a movement of feeling. Love is endlessly present in all dimensions. Love is the substance of which your heart is made. I AM the heart within you as you are the heart in Me. Let My Light, My voice, inspire you and direct the creative power of your heart. Do this and you have the melding of the forces of Creation right here within you. Instantly before your heart perception, Good shall multiply and bless you and all that you need will be provided, as you amplify, multiply and give more Love. A life lived from the center, from the heart, moves only where I lead, and listens to the Will of the living Whole, the endless all-encompassing expression. It is the perfect Will of Love to give openly and completely touch and ignite creative energy, bringing more and more Love to you in answer to the Love you give. Thus, as I have said to you before, trust Me. I will provide. And as you have seen and known for eons, you can multiply the loaves and fishes by loving them. Not with the ego’s goal of getting – getting something that makes the little self happy – but rather just to be this Love, giving forth more and more blessings. Love every symbol of your life, even those things the ego judges, because every particle of everything is made of only one substance and that is Love. Love even those things that appear as shadows, those things judged as darkness by the mind. When seen by the heart, they are dancing particles of Love enlivened with the Light I Am. Beloved ones, there is nothing else. Everything else is like a dance by finger puppets held up before a light beam. The dance of the old world of ego has just as little substance as this. It disappears when you see it with the heart that is the single eye that Jesus mentions. If your eye is single, your whole body, your whole world is filled with Light for that is all there is. Lead with your heart and a new world will reveal itself instantly to you. You will find yourself living in overflowing joy, awed by the abundance and the beauty. While at first there could be a small delay while the old world leaves your perceptions, that which you allow your heart to love will quickly come to bless you. You shall become the heart of Love I Am, pulsing out this message to everyone, not through the words that you speak or the ponderous thoughts the mind entertains, but rather, through the moments of your days spent loving everything and everyone. This is what will change the world, beloved ones, and change it quickly. You have always known it will, for deep inside your purpose always sang and even brought your mind into its vision of a world of only Love and beauty. It is here. It is yours. It is simple. It is just a matter of changing the channel, changing your instrument of perception and listening for My guidance on where and how to use your heart to multiply Love’s blessings effortlessly. Practice, beloved ones, every day. If you cannot instantly make the shift, practice living through your heart. Practice seeing with only heart perception. Build your ability to be the heart of Love I Am and you will find Love’s momentum, then, will catch you up and suddenly you are living in grace. Your heart will be open and giving. Your whole being will be a doorway to the Real of Love and every moment will be truly lived in ecstasy. Are you ready? I Am.
