Compassion

TWO MARYS 9/6/13 Channeled by Jessie Keener Interviewed/Edited by Joel Anastasi

GREETINGS BELOVED CHANNEL, BELOVED JOEL.

Greetings in this most officious appointment in divine order. We are the Two Marys entwined for the purpose of assisting humanity in their ascension process.

As you beloveds are already familiar with, humanity’s ascension process is directly connected to all ascension processes and all of the expansion of the Mother/God head. We are here today as messengers, for a very important time is underway for humanity on the surface of Gaia, the planet Earth as you call her.

We want to remind you of a very important distinction of spirituality, which is truly the distinction of how it all works. If we are truly connected, all of us to everything all the time, what is it that connects us? What is that substance, that ether, that energy? And, of course, they call it God.

But there is another way to look at that and that is to see it as compassion. Compassion is actually the stuff, if you will, that connects you to each other, that connects you to us, that makes these channelings available, that makes these downloads happen, that makes the dimensions interconnect so gracefully and elegantly.

Have you ever contemplated how incredibly awesome it is that these different dimensions can make themselves available to you? It is through compassion, of course. Yours for yourself, yours for the source of all being and, equally important, theirs for you.

So everything connects with compassion, beloveds. And when you are hitting your low points, is it not always true that in that moment of despair, in that black dark hole, there is a complete void of compassion? Indeed, it is true. That is the black hole. So there is the light and there is the void. Another way of saying that is, there is compassion and there is denial of compassion. Does this resonate for the two of you who are engaging in these most exciting times?

J: Totally. Obviously it is compassion that connects us to another. If we’re in a dark hole obviously we feel disconnected from everything.

M: Indeed, and the actual force that propels you into the dark hole is the denial of compassion. This is a profound teaching; yet, it is so utterly simple. Humanity does not want to embrace it. It is too simple. What do you mean?  All I have to do is stop denying compassion?

Yes, the Two Marys are here to say, yes. That is all you have to do. And yet, in its stark simplicity therein lies the conundrum. For it is not easy to always agree that compassion is reality.

J: Well, when we are unhappy about something or having a negative feeling or response toward someone trying to engage compassion is, indeed, a challenge.

M: Indeed, and trying never turns out, beloved. Therefore, the question becomes how can one deepen their relationship with compassion for themselves?  This is the key. For it is always about relationship with whom?  Our self. So it is the dynamic where Jessie and her beloved are in that space, in that abrasion, in that moment when you are witnessing the other. When they behave in a way that looks like they have no compassion for you, the only requirement you have is to provide that compassion for you that you are witnessing or believing is it’s happening out there. Now that is a new exercise.

J: Would you just say that again to make sure we got that?

M: The only requirement when you are witnessing the other behave in ways that you would say lacks compassion for you—perhaps they’re using a certain tone of voice, a sternness, a hostility projecting their resentment, their fear, their anger. When they are behaving that way, your only requirement is to provide compassion for you. And that keeps your sourcefulness while the other is having their experience of being disconnected from their source.

This is the underpinning that brings peace on Earth and good will to all men. This is the very underpinning of what Christ Consciousness is. What the Buddha meant. What the Dali Lama continues to speak about. So we do not have to complicate it. We can create complications which are sometimes helpful to look at, such as, out of compassion is forgiveness. Out of compassion is restoration. Out of compassion is healing. Out of compassion humans see accurately what is actually happening.

You see, when you are not in compassion for yourself you are automatically witnessing outside of you in a very particular way in the brain and actually that is the agreed upon reality of your culture. What you are witnessing, is, oh, so and so is being inappropriate with me. So and so is being a jerk. So and so doesn’t get me. So when you are engaging in that behavior, you have left the garden.

J: When we consciously allow our self to feel compassion for our self, we are actualizing and demonstrating love for our self, which then allows us to make better and wiser choices.

M: Indeed, in that very instant and that is the key. Compassion can also be understood for humans as unconditional love, unconditional love for myself. I can stand here and witness my beloved, my family member, my offspring who I adore. I can witness them in angst, in suffering, actually thinking they are not God, and I can stay in unconditional love for myself as this experience is going on.

Remember, beloveds, when others are behaving, when you are behaving in ways that can be interpreted as suffering, when you are experiencing great discomfort, fear, pain of the heart, remember that that is only because you forgot that you are God.

Otherwise, you would remember your Godness and say, wow, this chaos I’m experiencing, this fireworks of explosive energy, this is what I am in love with in this moment.

I love this aspect of myself experiencing this adrenaline, experiencing my desire to choke that person—just for a moment, of course. I love myself in this fury. And I have so much room for myself. That is called compassion for my self. That these self-generating fires turn into fires of love for self, that these fires might respond and get transmuted into a response of connectivity.

Again, we remind you, the fastest way into your connectivity will be through your simple breath work. Until humanity has activated more aspects of the brain and it is operating with more intelligence, that is the fastest way back into your purposefulness.

Let us keep it very simple but simple does not mean that your ego will call it easy. The job at hand is quite simple. The only way to stay connected through the chaos and the intense roller coaster ride that you are all on is through increasing your capacity for compassion for yourself. Out of which your compassion to move forward will ignite. Out of which your compassion for others will be restored, out of which your compassion for your circumstances will illuminate you to your next step.

J: I wrote down a phrase you used, the self-generating fires. I have been so swamped by feelings of pain and loneliness and confusion despite my spiritual readings and doing things to bring myself out of it. I certainly wasn’t able to generate the fires inside myself. I was stumbling badly, I confess.

M: Indeed, as will happen until you embrace this teaching fully. This teaching is so simple. It is what Ram Das has been saying and teaching for decades. It is what the Buddha taught and the Dali Lama teaches as well. It is what Mohammed said. It is what the ancient Vedic scriptures write about. It is what our beloved Jesus said. And through this enormous compassion for yourself you, again, resonate with your sourcefulness, with that place in your heart where you are once again empowered, joyful, where once again you look outside of yourself and see God in everyone and everything. In simple terms, the magic is restored.

So as you have read about, when Mother Theresa would see the flower blooming in the pile of excrement and trash along the alley she was walking, when you can see that simple, beautiful symbol emerging from what your culture doesn’t want to admit is part of them, and you can see the flowers, the rainbows, the beauty as you sit on your new furniture on your balcony, as this channel sits and gazes upon the waters going by, remember everything that is, is because of compassion.

Sit with that just for a moment. Everything that is, is because of compassion. That is our teaching for today. It is a most timely teaching. What will keep you securely fastened to who you are and why you are truly here, what will keep you emerging into actuality and remove you from, as this channel would say, the “bull shit” of the agreed upon reality here, what will keep you in your actuality, which is always self-generative, which is always co-creative, which is always you ascending is the practice of compassion for self. That is why the channel received the message this morning about joy, about being self-generating with the joy. All she had to remember was, what is your basic recipe for joy?

It always starts with compassion for self, claiming her self worth, and the joy is automatic from there. It is a very simple mathematical equation. Compassion for self plus self worth equals joy, hence celebration, hence reaching out in social circles, hence spreading that through her being.

J: Compassion, it seems to me, is a way to activate feelings of self-love. Of course, it all begins with self-love. Compassion for self, I would say, helps us engage the feeling of self-love, which empowers us.

M: It is the resonance of absolute ascendance. It is the resonance that causes transformation, or as this channel would say, ecstatic transformation. It is the frequency and the stuff that holds everything together.

So in very simple terms, each and everyone of you that are listening, that will read this, aren’t you all asking yourselves, and your guides and your angels and your teachers, how do I hold myself together during these challenging times and continue to Ascend?

Isn’t that the most practical, lowest common denominator question or inquiry you are all in? It is indeed. How do I continue to foster my growth and ascension, hold on to who I really am during these trying times?

Our message to humanity, for we exist solely for the purpose of supporting that inquiry is, the more compassion you have for yourself, the more ease and grace you will have in these times, the more you will naturally turn to the right practices, the right tools, the correct life style choices, the right direction etc.

J: You have told us is how important it is for us to raise our consciousness so that we could be an oasis of calm during the chaos that is coming. Compassion is a way of engaging the idea of loving ourselves to create that quiet place so that we’re empowered to make the choices we need to make in order to grow and ascend despite what is going on out there.

M: Indeed. This channel has a lovely saying, God is the giant yes. And compassion for humans is truly about being the yes. Let us explore a little further. This will be useful to the readers and to both of you. You have been told over and over that acceptance plus forgiveness equals compassion. As yet there is much mischief around the questions of the acceptance of what, forgiveness of what?

The acceptance is of yourself and the forgiveness is of your self. I forgive myself from separating from the present moment and resisting what is actually happening here. I accept that what is actually happening here is uncomfortable. I forgive myself for denying all this. I accept that I am uncomfortable. I forgive myself for not picking up a tool yet.

Now let me pick up a tool for I am truly uncomfortable and with that acceptance and forgiveness I have compassion for myself and I will practice a tool and I will use a principle of spiritual activation to return myself to the garden.

J: That’s The Ascension Handbook.

M: Indeed, in a few sentences.

J: I forgive myself for forgetting all that. (Laughing.)

M: Indeed, and that is why humans require soul families. One of the primary purposes for each member is to remind the other of what they have forgotten that they truly know. If your desire is to have community, compassion is what will draw it to you, beloved Joel.

J: I have been exercising compassion and I have been drawing some things to me which suggest that I need to be making some other choices about without going into specifics.

M: Indeed, and you have all of the gifts and talents within yourself and the ability to receive direct assistance from other dimensions including us, including many other fabulous teachers and ascended masters and we recommend you start to feel very, very trusting of your ability to have compassion for yourself. For you truly do, as does this channel. Sometimes you will fall down. It is the compassion for self that has you pick yourself up and keep going. We are simply saying that compassion for yourself must keep expanding literally daily from this point forward.

J: I absolutely resonate with that. I’ve been a little frustrated with myself. Perhaps not demonstrating compassion for myself. I’ve had some readings that have suggested that I need to get myself out of the way and continue to open myself up to be a channel for energies myself. I’ve been doing some automatic writing, but its just personal message kinds of stuff. I’ve been frustrated that something as seemingly simple and elementary as getting myself out of the way. I seem to be in a place of not knowing about it. 

M: And so when you say that you are receiving personal messages.

J: About opening up to becoming a messenger myself. Michael referred to that. Instead of only working with other channels to become a channel myself.

M: Indeed, and of course the tendency for humans is to minimize their accomplishments. What we wish to point out at this time Joel is actually you already are. There are many, many ways of channeling, some of which you are very familiar with, such as your automatic writing; however, there are other ways. Often you are channeling and you don’t even know it.

When you are having high-level discussions, for instance, with this beloved channel you are actually channeling higher dimensional content. You channel far more than you know.  And even when you receive a very personal message just for Joel from the automatic writing, is it not true that any personal message just to Joel is also a message to all of it?

J: Yes, I sometimes don’t get that when I’m first receiving it, but then when I go back and reread it I say, wow, this is powerful stuff.

M: Indeed, so continue to let go of the judgment and continue to understand that the more you practice your spiritual exercises, the more you engage, the more intelligent you are becoming. We again wish to remind you that intelligence is defined as that which flows through you from source. In other words, it is a spiritual currency. That is intelligence. The more intelligent you become the more you practice your Sacred G Breath, the more your pineal gland activates the crown chakra, the more the light body activates, the more intelligence flows through you.

You are already vastly different as a channel than you were three years ago. You have a portal in your heart chakra that now opens and beams love at people that was not open three years ago.

J: I’m glad to hear that because I got very sick during a reading of the Blended Marys in July. They said it was a gift to me to open my heart. And I thought to myself, well the Two Marys said that I do have an open heart. How come people keep telling me that I’m not in my heart?

M: There are openings and then there are openings and then there are openings. So a good image for you, beloved Joel, but it will also be for humanity. Just for a moment let us refer to the ancient Vedic scriptures about enlightenment. In many of the books they have beautiful illustrations of a lotus blossom fully opened. And, of course, there are lovely ivory and white petals and in the center has some gold and the edges of the blossoms are tinged with pink and it’s beautiful.

The Vedic scriptures talk about enlightenment being the opening of the multi-thousand-blossom lotus. The petals are multi-thousand, beloved Joel.  Now let us bring that image into your heart chakra. Multi-thousand levels of openings. In fact, infinite levels of opening. Infinite. So, yes, your heart has been opening and at times very, very rapidly. And at times you’ve needed a little assistance in getting some stubborn parts to let go and open up. Sometimes there will be a little illness or a purification process.

But understand, this process of Ascension is about opening up more and more and more layers of the heart to that place where ultimately you need to know nothing, where you simply are.

J: Yes, and that has a lot to do with loving self. I can become personally fulfilled in an exciting, fulfilled way and I don’t have to settle. I have to learn not to settle.

M: Indeed, that is actually the final chapter of your legacy, beloved Joel.

J: The final chapter of my legacy?

M: Indeed, the final chapter of the book of your life with the legacy you are creating is about what happens and who you are when you no longer settle. For even very tiny ways. You can apply the Joel is settling aspect to how you perceive yourself as a spiritual being. You’re settling for your judgments of yourself, your sense of actually happening.

J: Speaking of my destiny, I received a wonderful reading that made a reference to something Gabriel once referred to, the soul signature of my name, Joel. They connected it to the prophet Joel. Do you have any observations to make about that?

M: It is indeed your divine gift to bestow upon humanity. Remember there are different types of prophets. There is the prophet who receives the direct message, the direct download, as you speak about in these days. And then there is the one that receives the message and takes it to the people. In this lifetime you are the one who takes the message to the people. It is absolutely your destiny to continue to take messages from source to people. And you will never be fulfilled until your complete yourself with that.

J: I totally resonate with what you’re saying. I feel that that’s my destiny. That’s what I’ve been doing.

M: Indeed, and yet there will be a shift, a very subtle shift where some of the messages you bring to the people will be messages you receive directly. But that is not a should or a supposed to be. That is a natural evolution of how you are developing. As you continue to let go of your judgment on what does it look like to have the gift of prophesy?

Another way of discussing this gift is the gift of inner knowing. What does it mean to have the gift of inner knowing? Does it mean you have to channel like a Phillip, a Jessie or a Jeff? No, it doesn’t. It does mean you can sit with yourself and come to know things with no explanation as to how you know them. You just know they’re true and they resonate. That is being a prophet. The giving of the truth to others is a combination of contributions that you are here for.

You are here to traffic in the truth, to resonate with the truth, to have your heart be your beacon of truth, for that is where truth resonates—only in the heart. So in a very real way in this lifetime, Joel is here to be a heart master and a prophet.

Mastering his heart so that his divine truth continues to show up in clarity and purity and bringing the great messages of light, inspiration and joy and celebration of our spirituality to the people.

J: I embrace that fully.

M: Indeed, it is so completely you. You can look backwards and see how everything has trained and developed you for this and the more you practice compassion for yourself and allow the judgments to fall away, the more you practice your spirit breath exercise and allow the brain to expand, the more natural your gift of prophecy will become.

J: I kidded with Jessie, my God I’m going to be 80 years old in two years. When are we going to do immortality? (Laughing.)

M: Indeed. Well, beloved, you are already starting the book because a great deal about immortality has to do with compassion.

J: Can we begin talking about the project when I’m down in Lauderdale?

M: Indeed, that will be most timely.

J: I’m going to be 80 years old in two years. I’m trying to stay healthy and vital. I’m trying to be a role model for what my age group can be in terms of using their body wisely. I want a companion that I can share my life with as the gap widens between the age I am and where most people are, part of me is wondering if I can offer a future to anybody who is very youthful or am I just being a fool and it’s just better for me to be with people my own age. Otherwise there is no chance of a partnership.

M: Indeed. Do not settle for people in your own age group, although there may be some interesting friendships that can arise from your own age group. The odds of those aged people having the level of spiritual aptitude and knowledge and insight that you do, the likelihood from that generation is very, very low. You’re far better off with people younger. As this channel came to see for herself as she surrendered to her beloved, States, she realized he has everything to offer me because this is true love. This is what I always wanted. And, therefore, if I even have just one good year that will be enough.

And so it is, beloved Joel, and this is poignant, but it’s purposeful, if you could back up time and have one more year with Adam, wouldn’t that be enough? It would be so much more than enough. And that is the depth of the love we are resonating with. You are correct in thinking that there is something else out there for you in that arena. That is correct. If you provided someone with one great year, that’s enough for a lifetime.

J: That’s a wonderful consciousness to come to. I honestly confess that I would say, that’s too short, but the more I’m with that idea the more I understand and can accept that.

M: Indeed, and this channel is nearly sobbing at the beauty and the truth of it. It is simple. Not easy but simple. Let go of the old notion. What did we define it as? We said compassion plus self worth equals ascension. If you wish to ascend one of the domains of your life, If you want to bring more light, more spirit, more love, more beauty to your relationship’s domain, then it is all about compassion for yourself and claiming your self worth. Is it not?

J: Absolutely. You used ascension in a really wonderful way. When I think of Ascension I think of the whole experience, you just referred to it as the Ascension of anything in our lives.

M: Indeed, elevating anything. Indeed, increasing the energy of anything, bringing more fulfillments to anything, more wholeness, more completion. You have the formula beloved. Now simply get to work.

J: Mentioned I submitted the application to Omega to do a one-week version of Life Mastery.

M: Number one, it’s a great exercise for you. Number two with this resonance there is about a 50/50 chance that they will approve this or want this. The fact that you’re willing to do this will create ripples and openings to the universe to other entities to be interested in this work. So this is just one of many institutes out there that would likely resonate with this type of work.

J: I’m glad you’re saying that. It’s freeing up how I’m looking at the materials. I’m trying to be less restricted by the structure it has now, to work with the wisdom and teachings in it in a new, different way.

M: Indeed, excellent, well done, beloved Joel.

J: Do you have a quick thing to tell us about Syria and the United States getting involved in an intervention?

M: This is Mother speaking. I actually have great information. The fastest way to bring Peace On Earth is to practice compassion for yourself.  That this is actually happening, that humans are still trafficking in this, that people are still using force against each other. Number one, compassion for yourself this is actually not what you want in your heart of hearts. Number two; the lesson today on compassion is very timely. So please share that with the blog, that the fastest way to disarm a country is through compassion. The fastest way to help your President perform and his advisors, all the forceful politicians and the manipulations, the fastest way to effect change for the best is through sending them compassion. To the opposition send compassion.

J: So you’re counseling us to send compassion to all the elements in Syria, Assad, the dictator, and all the elements who are opposing each other and to all of our own leadership in the decision making process.

M: Indeed, it is time to be very grown up and stop engaging in the petty back and forth of the ego mind, and to say, “wait a second.” The Two Marys have spoken. What brings peace on earth to humanity is compassion, starting with the self, and that will naturally exude out towards others and even for the land that that is being mutilated by this behavior. Not like somebody’s bad or wrong. Everyone is doing this dance and with this dance everyone is doing the best they know how for their level of consciousness.
