GRACE: A simple title, a not so simple discussion

As I approached the massive building I could not help but stop for a minute and allow the significance of it, and what was offered within its walls, to sink into my soul. Lessons that would serve a soul for eternity; understandings that would bring peace no matter what reality might be unfolding. The invitation to return had made my heart reach and awaken in a way that it had not done in years. In the deepest state of honor, I walked the steps and entered the great hallway.

As I stepped into the large lecture hall, the light emanating from each of the students made me smile. I nodded to those I recognized and took my seat. Within seconds the door opened and the Master glided in. She was an eternal friend, someone that I trusted beyond measure and knew to the depths of her infinite nature. Sensing my joy at seeing her, she looked up and met my eyes. With a smile and nod, she took her place at the podium and the class of deeper understanding began.

For thousands of years Earth has been a place where souls can congregate to study cause and effect but also to play out the many variances of karma. An eye for an eye. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Etc. .. ad nauseam. You'll learn what you caused by suffering the same effects. A very slow method of learning that when you cause chaos it reverberates back to you in one fashion or another.

It was decided some time ago that Earth had served the whims of Humanity long enough. Eventually there had to come a time when souls stopped learning through karma and reached a point of understanding that took them into a different state of being. Two birds with one stone. Let's raise the vibration of an entire planet in order to take it from one 'role' to another. And at the same time let's see if an entire group of souls can shift from one reality into another. It was a habit, after all, this 'need' to play out the greatest degree of harm one can imagine and see what the consequences would be. Habits can be broken. It is just a matter of learning how to break them. To tantalize with the promise of heart's peace. That might be the key. To promise that, if one applied oneself enough to the lesson, one could overcome the natural tendencies to behave in a 3-D manner and shift their consciousness to such a degree that they would come to understand how they could live in a 3-D energy field but not succumb to its temptations.

The Master had explained all of this years ago. Now her gaze swept the massive room, resting for a nano-second on the eyes of each eager student. "Let's not go back over everything we already know," she said. "Let's look at what's missing. You've all done an outstanding job of addressing some of the basics.

"In order to reach an energetic state of neutrality, the state of being that allows Divine Alignment of energy, the ping-pong effect of cause and effect has to be interrupted. This is what you've been studying for many years. Forgiveness without an emotional charge. Acceptance without judgment. Allowing each soul the freedom to live whatever reality is necessary in order to reach the deepest state of understanding available to them." Her eyes pierced the eyes of one of the students. I could feel the impact from across the room. "Every person, every animal, every action, every inaction, every single thing that exists is an aspect of God. God being the infinite nature of all that exists. This understanding has been a major key that is contributing to the slow but steady progress of the mission you're on. Changing the vibration, the frequency of a consensual reality from one frequency to another."

"You have uncovered, one by one, many of the keys that assist in shifting reality. But one key is missing and reality will not change until that key is understood to an infinite degree." She paused and turned and her eyes met mine. I felt her soul speak to me before her words reached me. "That key is Grace."

Grace. A word I had carried in my heart every day of my life. Like a goal I needed to reach. A gift that I knew would quench the thirst of my soul. Not a day passed without a moment of pondering it. Without a moment of craving it.

I've always believed that the word 'grace' is not properly defined here on Earth. A deep knowing tells me there's much more to the word, the state of grace, than any dictionary has ever defined. In my research I've come to find that there are others, both is history and in present time, who agree with me.

There's more to this than meets the eye. Or more than words can describe. A better way to state the obvious. The Master's eyes seemed intent on peeling away any earthly thought I might have about Grace, insisting that I understand the word with my soul.

For most of my life I've understood that perceiving my life from the point of view of my infinite soul rather than my limited 3-D perception was a great key to shifting my own reality .. and any limitations that might try to enslave me. I came to understand that a reaction to earthly events can be called a 'habit.' Again, habits can be broken and the obvious path, in my mind, was to shift into a state of responding. A response, it seemed to me, was a more controlled way of observing events. A way of bringing self-discipline and self-responsibility to the forefront. A way of acknowledging the fact that my soul is infinite and far more wise than perhaps any temporary 3-D 'reality' and the limitations that seemingly go along with it. If I perceived and responded to life by bringing, as best I could, my soul's infinite energy/wisdom to the moment, I would benefit myself .. and possibly others.

I never wanted to play the tit-for-tat game. This lifetime has never been, for me, an opportunity to play in the sandbox of Earth. You hit me with your plastic shovel and I'll just hit you back. Cause and effect. Tit-for-tat. Karma. Now I was being given the opportunity to bring another key into my quest for understanding. What does the True state of Grace contribute to our combined effort/mission to shift the energetic frequency of Earth-life to a higher frequency?

To be in a state of Grace dis-allows all of the deliberate human actions that harm anyone or anything. It recognizes that all things are an aspect of God and treats them accordingly. We cannot lie to another person. We cannot abuse another person. We do not steal, murder, deny, neglect, or dismiss. Every person and thing we encounter is seen through the eyes of God. God did not create a single thing without putting a lot of thought behind it. Therefore, we may not understand the Divine Purpose, but God does. Perhaps it is not our goal to understand but instead to have utter faith and Divine Allowance. We aren't there yet, as an entire human society, but I absolutely believe that's where we're headed. That is the mission we're on.

As I now understand it, every soul is infinite and every soul is permanently within a State of Grace. A Oneness with God, however you may wish to view God, the Creator of All That Is. A State of Grace is bringing our personal relationship with God into our lives in such a way that this relationship guides every second, every word, every action, every thought. Yes, it is a call to the greatest self-responsibility imaginable. Yes, it is a call to muster everything you have and rise above the 'tendencies' of a 3-D, dense, painful reality. But if we are on a mission to raise the vibration of a 3-D reality to something higher, than the part we each individually play must be taken into consideration. Into deep consideration. We are part of a combined, consensual energetic 'reality.' Our energy impacts all other energy. We can lift ALL without lifting ourselves.

Perhaps our innate State of Grace is the path we must take.



It is probably obvious that I could go on and on about this topic. I could (and may) turn it into a book. But, as always, I am overly eager to share 'little tidbits' .. to stimulate thought .. to encourage others .. to validate and send the energy of Hope into the world. A quick blog seems like that most efficient way to offer my thoughts, when I'm faced with a lack of time to write more lengthy dissertations. I am beyond grateful to every person who supports my personal mission/effort and who appreciates my offerings. You bless my life and my Path.
