[We’re spending more and more time together….so this is from that]
The purpose of duality is to provide a perceptual/material cocoon for ascending, and descending, spirit personalities to struggle within and break free from and out of. Just as the butterfly must become strong enough to emerge from its transformative chamber and live and operate in a now, wider, expanded world of new experiences, so must the human being.
Where before, choices were limited to the abilities of the caterpillar that sought to survive and feed and climb high enough to begin its transformation. So too, does the human being. It is, however, a spiritual transformation. It is a transformation of mind and heart, thought and emotion.
The human struggle is a struggle to discern between opposites of light and darkness, good and evil, love and fear, selflessness and selfishness…
Every life is a series of experiences that are rooted by choices as causes of actions with learned and unlearned, or yet to be learned, effects. It is the struggle to make what is considered to be the right and proper choices based upon their discernment. All while being distracted by the material aspects of the area of operation, yet using them to act upon the choices they make. The effects of their choices, again, become events that create more choices. Hence, the never ending cycle of cause and effect.
Like butterflies, most people flitter and flutter from one beautiful flower of experience to the next. It soaks in light whenever it needs to rest and recharge the energy of its wings.
The moth must also struggle to emerge from its cocoon. But the moth is drawn to the light. It will fly closer and closer to it, be it flame or lightbulb, forsaking all else, even at the cost of its own life.
Some may feel that the moth is the more foolish of the two. They may feel that the beauty of the butterfly and the inspiration it holds makes the butterfly better in some way.
But it is the moth that is strong enough to break free from the spider’s web.
THE LOVE AND LIGHT OF THE ONE
IS ALWAYS WITH AND WITHIN YOU
AND ALL AROUND YOU

PJ 47 – foreword
“So what will get you into the Kingdom of God?
Obviously, it shall be nothing from the realms of physical. In the physical can only come the “expression” of intent.
It is only through the “intent” of Spirit within which shall be the measure of man–along with the actions presented as a result of that “intent”.
God gave forth unto His Man creation the most wondrous gift all creatures–the ability to reason, think and act through his own free-will choices.
Do you follow the rules of another Man or you follow Truth with which every individual physical hull expression is birthed just as he is birthed with the ability to breathe?
WHAT DO YOU DO IN DARKNESS AND SECRET? IS THAT WITHIN THE LAWS OF GOD? LOOK CAREFULLY, FOR UPON THE RESPONSE IN ACTION RESTS YOUR INFINITE JOURNEY.”
Chap. 3
“TRUE Christians are those who understand and adhere to CHRIST consciousness teachings of THE LAWS OF GOD AND THE CREATION, NOT so-called ones who label themselves “Christian” based on their “belief” in what they are told are the “teachings” of Christ as presented erroneously within your various Bibles.”

Taoism
The Urantia Book; Paper 131, Section 8
P1451:4, 131:8.1 The messengers of Melchizedek penetrated far into China, and the doctrine of one God became a part of the earlier teachings of several Chinese religions; the one persisting the longest and containing most of the monotheistic truth was Taoism, and Ganid collected the following from the teachings of its founder:
P1451:5, 131:8.2 “How pure and tranquil is the Supreme One and yet how powerful and mighty, how deep and unfathomable! This God of heaven is the honored ancestor of all things. If you know the Eternal, you are enlightened and wise. If you know not the Eternal, then does ignorance manifest itself as evil, and thus do the passions of sin arise. This wondrous Being existed before the heavens and the earth were. He is truly spiritual; he stands alone and changes not. He is indeed the world’s mother, and all creation moves around him. This Great One imparts himself to men and thereby enables them to excel and to survive. Even if one has but a little knowledge, he can still walk in the ways of the Supreme; he can conform to the will of heaven.
P1452:1, 131:8.3 “All good works of true service come from the Supreme. All things depend on the Great Source for life. The Great Supreme seeks no credit for his bestowals. He is supreme in power, yet he remains hidden from our gaze. He unceasingly transmutes his attributes while perfecting his creatures. The heavenly Reason is slow and patient in his designs but sure of his accomplishments. The Supreme overspreads the universe and sustains it all. How great and mighty are his overflowing influence and drawing power! True goodness is like water in that it blesses everything and harms nothing. And like water, true goodness seeks the lowest places, even those levels which others avoid, and that is because it is akin to the Supreme. The Supreme creates all things, in nature nourishing them and in spirit perfecting them. And it is a mystery how the Supreme fosters, protects, and perfects the creature without compelling him. He guides and directs, but without self-assertion. He ministers progression, but without domination.
P1452:2, 131:8.4 “The wise man universalizes his heart. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Those who aspire to greatness must learn to humble themselves. In creation the Supreme became the world’s mother. To know one’s mother is to recognize one’s sonship. He is a wise man who regards all parts from the point of view of the whole. Relate yourself to every man as if you were in his place. Recompense injury with kindness. If you love people, they will draw near you — you will have no difficulty in winning them.
P1452:3, 131:8.5 “The Great Supreme is all-pervading; he is on the left hand and on the right; he supports all creation and indwells all true beings. You cannot find the Supreme, neither can you go to a place where he is not. If a man recognizes the evil of his ways and repents of sin from the heart, then may he seek forgiveness; he may escape the penalty; he may change calamity into blessing. The Supreme is the secure refuge for all creation; he is the guardian and savior of mankind. If you seek for him daily, you shall find him. Since he can forgive sins, he is indeed most precious to all men. Always remember that God does not reward man for what he does but for what he is; therefore should you extend help to your fellows without the thought of rewards. Do good without thought of benefit to the self.
P1452:4, 131:8.6 “They who know the laws of the Eternal are wise. Ignorance of the divine law is misery and disaster. They who know the laws of God are liberal minded. If you know the Eternal, even though your body perish, your soul shall survive in spirit service. You are truly wise when you recognize your insignificance. If you abide in the light of the Eternal, you shall enjoy the enlightenment of the Supreme. Those who dedicate their persons to the service of the Supreme are joyous in this pursuit of the Eternal. When man dies, the spirit begins to wing its long flight on the great home journey.”

ALLOW THE BUTTERFLY TO EMERGE IN SPLENDOR
3/11/97 ESU “JESUS” SANANDA
Peace, Rick. Esu present in Light, in service to light the way for mankind during the hours of darkness that lay ahead.
My voice is soft, yet you hear me clearly. I needn’t shout, although shout I will if the occasion arises whereby shouting will merit results.
It is of utmost importance, Rick, that you spend time with me. As I told you, you cannot do it alone, you must have the assistance of Spirit unto Spirit. It is a dangerous, yet exiting, journey that lays before you. Do not fall aside over foolish errors; you are more worthy than that and God did not error in accepting your service at this time.
There are MANY who are awaiting my messages because they are faltering, they are tired, they are frustrated, and they just want to give up. And yet even by “giving up” they find themselves back in the same stew-pot they were in before. It is called the “wheel of life”. Haven’t you experienced the wheel enough, Thomas?
There is such splendor in the realms of Light, and yet I do not say this to have each one who reads this to want to “check out” to work in the realm of Spirit, for by doing so they automatically are returned unto the wheel of life, to again experience in the physical manifestation.
The point is not to avoid one’s lessons but to confront them, for therein is the path of becoming One with Spirit, One with God of Light wherein there is truly freedom from the enslavement of the darkness.
The adversarial influence is like a thick, dark cloud over your planet and you must remain, literally, in constant vigil to overcome that influence upon you.
You each must ASK, ASK, ASK!
We of these realms told you ones early on that, if you must clear your space a thousand times a day then do so. Make it as automatic as breathing!
I must tell on Rick. He used to be somewhat perturbed at the idea of having to clear his space so frequently and would think loudly to himself, to us of Light: “Well can’t you guys hold the space clear longer than that?!”
Ha! Of course you each grow up through those thoughts to realize that the clearing with Spirit begins with soul-self, in the direct connection with God-Spirit.
Has it not often been said that the adversary will be allowed to “have a go at you of Light”–in part to test your mettle and see what you will do? This is a school, remember?
True, you each have a purpose of one sort or another but the lessons must be learned along the way toward realization, understanding, and bringing into fruition that purpose. There are so many misperceptions about the way it is, mostly caused by your confounded religious doctrines.
Most are simply not willing to learn, to be OPEN to new thoughts.
A closed mind is a prison wherein the being shall remain confined until hell freezes or until there is a release of some kind that will allow for change.
Change is the only constant in this, God’s Creation. Change is beautiful, glorious really. It is as the caterpillar to the butterfly: the caterpillar doesn’t THINK about becoming the butterfly, it just does so as a natural course of experience. And ultimately the butterfly emerges from the chrysalis to fly in the light.
You are not unlike the caterpillar, but too many of you are becoming imprisoned in the chrysalis, and to break free you must begin to realize there is so much more to thus world, and this universe, than self.
Let me give another personal example from Rick. Rick’s mother, Zita, is in a wheelchair these days in a nursing home. Yet, when she feels sorry for herself and is wheeled down the hallway to the outside courtyard, she passes many others who cannot even speak!
Everything is relative in this world, and when you think you have it bad, take a careful look around you, and this applies PARTICULARLY to those in the cities, although it is true everywhere. Look and see the homeless on the streets or those living in cardboard boxes.
Ah! But then, once you witness them, what do you do? Usually you say, “Oh, the bums”, or “Yeah, but they chose that”. Did they? There, but for the Grace of God, go thee, and “That which you do unto the least of Mine, ye have done unto Me”. Remember?
When you can get out of the little perceptive cell of self long enough to offer those less fortunate ones a bowl of soup or a blanket then perhaps the chrysalis will have a small hole in it which will ultimately allow the butterfly to emerge. Otherwise you will remain imprisoned in your little cells called self, and you shall remain on the wheel of life, time and time and time again.
Now, let us discuss something else. How do you pray and for what do you pray? Most pray for money and for self.
When you pray for everyone and everything EXCEPT self, you have arrived!
When you pray for “all my relations” as your Native American brothers teach, you are there.
This is not to say that God does not hear your innermost desires and “wants”. He does! He is just waiting for you to realize that, as a co-creator, if you really want something, you will find a way to get up off your rear and make it so.
You have become a fat and complacent culture, a lazy culture.
Chopping wood and carrying water seem to be foreign concepts, particularly to you of the American side of things.
Is it any wonder that the Master Teachers would usually start their new students either by cleaning and scrubbing toilets or by chopping wood and carrying water?
Well, I can assure you of this: before all is said and done, most of you left alive will be very happy to be able to chop wood and carry water–and shall do so!
Get off this “woe is me” kick of helplessness.
You are GODLY beings! Start acting like Godly beings!
Why do you tear apart your brothers, limb from limb, in hypocritical judgment? You each and all must learn to walk in Truth.
If your adversary slaps you in the face, for God’s sake, do NOT turn the other cheek, but go down and report it, and then sue him! Yes, you heard me. (Now there Rick, you’ve gone and done it. We just lost half our audience. It’s alright, the half we want are still reading.)
Until you squarely face the adversary and stand your ground, you might as well just lay down and roll over, because you are as good as dead. And I did not say to pick up a gun.
I say pick up a pen and write a lawsuit. If you do not regain control of your legal system, you as a society are gone–dead and buried and destined for a thousand years of darkness, starting back at the cave WITHOUT tools.
Mankind will lift itself up or mankind will go down, it is that painfully simple. Don’t you see?!
I do not come to shower you with sweet blessings of nothingness; I come as your Lord and I come with the Hosts of God who are the most wondrous, magnificent, and STRONG Beings of Light who exist in this, the known universe, and those beyond.
Do not brush aside the help at your disposal, for to do so is folly.
Little self does NOT know better than God, so isn’t it better to swallow that pride and do away with ego, open your minds, LEARN, and then act in Wisdom on that knowledge?! Therein is the path of Freedom from the chrysalis. Therein the keys to the cell are given unto thee. Therein is the way off the wheel of life!
I Am Sananda,
I Am Captain of the Ship.
I Come in Light,
With a Sword,
And Mine Enemies Had Better Be Placed on Notice:
Your Time is at Hand.
So be it and Selah!
My hand rests upon my faithful crew.
Stay within my shelter for therein is safe harbor.
You are greatly loved.
Salu.

THANK YOU!!!!!!
GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS FOR THIS
AS GOD ALWAYS BLESSED YOU FOR ALL AND EVERYTHING
EVEN BEFORE WE BECAME ACQUAINTED…..SMILE……
on my job…on the campus…..on the midway…….
there are homeless people that have figured out that
living on top of the heat exhaust ducts
is a way to make it through the winter
I’ve seen some that have survived several winters this way…..
there is one, however and mind you
that had a tent
a luxury in this case…..
I always worried about them
if only because I never saw them
just the tent
and their growing belongings
which this one seemed to keep neater than the others
not spread out and blown about sporadically
like most of the others……..
but I never saw the person…
and I always worried about them
for that, indeed could have been me
and could still be me…….y’know?
anyway
the tent disappeared about a week ago
today…all the belongs were gone
I inquired above
They say he passed away…..sigh
forgive me if I cry a bit
and am still crying………
we are all each other, after all………….
I always said that if I ended up homeless
I would just find a place to sit
and wait
either I would get a clear and definite answer from GOD
about what is what
and what to do
and how to act and think and feel
and the reason and purpose for it all
and gain whatever it is that GOD would have me gain from the experience
and move on from there
in whatever the Will of THE ONE would be
in the matter of the case at hand
or I would just wait and die……sigh
personally…I wouldn’t know what else to do…..
perhaps it is not the best option that I could choose
but I would be hard pressed to find the way and means to choose another
and yet
there he was…….
and for whatever reason…he died…..as I could have died in the same situation
and I know not the circumstances of his being and existence, his life
but I mourn his passing
we are all each other, after all
the children in the mines working as slaves
or being pimped out
and being murdered…….
the weary of heart and soul
living their lives as best they can
trusting a system they still think is for them…..
but not as much as they thought it was…….
and people are waking up……..
we are struggling as a people
on this planet
to wake up
to rise up
to stand on our own spiritual, mental, emotion, physical feet
and be free and sovereign human beings
and still we are learning
and so many
too many individuals
never make it out of their personal chrysalis
simply because they truly believe what some aspect of this dark system of things
has been telling them for years
and they know not what alternative to turn to
not the PJs
not the UB
not GOD with and within themselves
they do not know how to experience any of that
because no one has made it possible for them to do so
in their own
little bubble of reality
that they were taught to depend upon
as what really mattered in this world
and not that fringe group of crazies
that spout such nonsense
as to go against the church or the temple or the religion
or the government or the schools or the status quo
or the jobs or the money…..
or any other part of ‘the system’, ‘the powers that be’
and that is changing through experience
and more people are awake than ever before….
and it is up to us to speak out
loudly and clearly
to wake up as many of the rest
before it is too late
to speak out
about the real and true nature of GOD
and the real and true nature of this system of things
that is in its final throes of death
no better time like the present…eh?
we are all here to help change minds and hearts
as consciousness
to change the consciousness of the ones that are here
these people
that will ascend with Earth Shan Gaia
this planet and its people must and will be free!
and it will take
it is taking as many of us as ther are and can be to do it
each one wake one
and so then there are two that will wake two…..
and so it goes and let it be so
even unto the end……..
The struggle to strengthen our wings
that we may escape and fly…..
so be it
so it is….
THANKS AGAIN…..
the post actually was DABI
more time spent together
means even more time being spent together
just about joined at the hip……
the rest comes as it will and must come
one unity
in and at
the time and place
where it must be so in the Will of THE ONE
and The Will of THE ONE is all that matters…..
at least….for me…..smile

An aspect of the one, a complete KiboDabi personality.
That’s the way I see it.

I find these days that I’m chanting a lot where I sleep and have lived at, whether it be my mom’s house or my grandma and grandpa’s, just clearing the energy and transmuting it to that of love. I have no ailments or addictions really, I just surrender everything to Love/God/Universe and I find the days passing smoothly for the most part. My sleeping pattern has become very relaxed, Set time I fall asleep and wake up r timed almost exactly to the minute, just easy mode when u surrender it all to love. I feel very optimistic about life and where this is all headed. I guess I feel like my very difficult tests have already passed and I’m down to keeping the energy clear day to day, when before I was having a lot of confusion, misery, suffering, etc. due to past life karma that has been pretty much worked out now. Baba is love, everything feels glorious for me within when I enquire to the voices of my mind, spirit, soul. I hope everyone that posts here can find their own place of inner calm and loving radiance. It’s pretty easy if u want it to be, just keep giving it all to God/Love/Universe and life will go smoothly, least that’s what I experience.
