Messages from Jeshua and Mother Mary by Carolyn Evers:
I recently sent out details of a message from Mother Mary regarding the
June solstice, in which she explained it was a time to connect with the
energies of Sophia, the feminine aspect of Source or God. This message was
received before the event and as usual, Carolyn and I sought further guidance on
the solstice whilst the energies were present.
What came forth were powerful messages from Jeshua and Mother Mary about
the significance of this event as well as some more general guidance about
the coming times and we have chosen to share these with you below:
Carolyn Evers (June 23, 2009): OK. The solstice was the 21st (the energies
are active for 3 days either side of such gateways) and so, there’s a
couple of questions that we have in mind. Who wants to come forth and give us
some information about the solstice in general and as Richard has asked, is
there something that you want us to do? And Jeshua came forth first and
then there is Mother Mary. Let me make the connection with him. He’s so
beautiful. He’s standing there, showing me his heart center and it’s just
blazing with love.
Jeshua
And he is saying that his love is for all of humanity but he’s talking to
us now and he wants us to know just how much he loves us. We’ve always been
faithful to his cause as we are faithful to him now. And he is saying that
every time he has come to Earth, it has always been what he considered a
pivotal point in human history. We were always there. No matter what he did,
we always came with him in a bodily form to offer assistance, whether it
was a student or a teacher or one who wished to protect. We were always
there. And in that, perhaps this is the most illustrious time and the most
challenging time because there are so many cycles and as you know, so many
clearings that must be done and that is why this time is challenging. It’s
illustrious because of all the help and assistance that is coming through
different gateways, different openings of/between celestial bodies and that is
the glorious, illustrious part of it all.
The challenge of it is that while in human form, many times it becomes
difficult to persevere, to understand, to come to an event with the awareness
that is necessary to truly understand the transitions that are occurring.
And those who can come forth before these transitions, before these energies
and work with them and not completely understand all of the ramifications,
to them great understanding and commitment is asked from them. You have
always answered, not always understanding everything that applied to the
situation but nevertheless, you were always willing. It is the reason why I
love the two of you so. You were always there. And so, I wanted to tell you
this before we began. For Richard and Carolyn bringing together all of what
is called and has been called the dark forces to help them home. In light of
perhaps, your not complete understanding, in light of the sacrifices that
have occurred for you to complete this, we all honor you.
Carolyn: And so, I say thank you, Jeshua. That was a beautiful view and
all the others that stand with you. We appreciate being recognized for the
attempts that we make. Sometimes, they haven’t been successful in this world
of so many deeds involving so many people and sometimes, they have been
accomplished in secret desperation. But you know all of this, don’t you?
Jeshua: Now, as far as the solstice is concerned, he is saying: As Mother
Mary had said in the past, many people receive messages and sometimes, they
appear different from one another, even though they are discussing the
same event, and there’s a reason for that. The reason is that there are many
messengers and they bring forth messages for a particular group of
individuals, and even though these messages might be disseminated across the
Internet, it does not mean that every person who read the message was involved in
that interpretation. I just mean that different souls require different
facts of understanding before they can walk into the greatest awareness of the
event.
So you might find there are some people who are bringing forth messages to
those who are very intuitive or to those who need scientific confirmation.
They’re very mental in their approach towards life. Therefore, I wanted to
give these facts first, that you can take an event such as this event that
we are speaking of, this solstice; it is very important but when you take
all of the messages and put them side by side, there is kernel of truth
because truth cannot be hidden. Truth is self-evident but the pathway to that
truth might be different. Therefore, you have people using different
adjectives. You might even have people using different facts, different
awarenesses. They are using the words to speak to the soul of that group that they
have come forward to, to lead, to share information with. And so, I mention
this because this is a very important event and there will be many messages
seemingly different from one another until you sit them side by side and
you see a kernel of an agreement underneath the message.
It’s necessary for me to say this because you are speaking to a group who
perhaps might be considered more advanced than others. There are other
Masters speaking to other channels that are guiding and instructing souls,
setting forth the foundation for their knowledge. And then, after they have a
foundation, they might see your work and so, this could be considered a step
up. It could be considered a message for someone who has the basic
understandings of what we would consider metaphysical language, metaphysical
guidelines, understanding, skills. There will even be those who are attracted to
what we say here who perhaps might even be a little bit more advanced for
the information that you’re offering. But what comes through this channel,
what comes through this source has a wide range of spiritual knowledge so it
can take a soul from an average understanding to a more advanced
understanding as more and more of these messages move up through the ladder of
awareness.
We have mentioned many times, the cycles here on this planet are in a
sense governed by what you would call astrology. Those of the Essene
community, when I walked upon your planet, understood this. They had great teachers
from Atlantis who passed this information forward to them. It was a very
important deposit of information. You might consider it a class, a school,
but the study of cycles, the study of planetary alignments was well known to
the Essenes. It’s not something that has been brought forward in the world
but I find it necessary to mention that.
To those who hear these messages, who read these messages, this might
sound strange because astrology has been something that has been looked down
upon from the early days of the church and even before that in some
civilizations. But the very Ancients, the ones that might be considered uneducated
though they were only uneducated in what you would consider formal
education, they understood the Earth. They understood how she moved. They took the
time to study the seasons, to study the interaction between humanity and the
way these seasons moved and they understood that something was brought to
them from the stars though they didn’t always understand exactly what it
is. They knew the connection.
It got to the point later where you had very knowledgeable people build,
some of them, giant stone edifices such as temples, pyramids, carvings of
all sorts, trying to leave their information to those that followed them. You
might wonder why I’m spending so much time on this concept of astrology.
It is related to astronomy so there is a relationship between the two though
the astronomers have forgotten the esoteric, the spiritual aspect of what
is presented in the stars. And so what I say is there is a correlation
between astrology and also astronomy. That is the key point that I wish to make
at this particular time because what happens from now onwards to what we’
re calling and you’re calling 2012 is following very closely those lines of
astronomy and astrology because that is the pattern that this journey in
this part of this galaxy was created upon.
You might think if this was so rigid that cycles must follow cycles and be
influenced by the interaction of the planetary system, then where is
humanity’s free will? And I say to you it is the free will coupled with the
astronomy, with the astrology with that pathway of opportunities. It is the
three that seems to form a triangle (so) that there is an interplay with one
another. That interplay brings forth new possibilities. So, because the
planets move in an ordained path and because there are some who can read into
that a future course, it is still humanity’s freewill that enters that
combination of the two and presents the myriad of possibilities. And it is a
beautiful thing that something that is ordained, that is predictable, that is
part of the Earth’s rotation, can offer unlimited opportunities because the
creative mind of humankind has been added to the journey.
And it is so with this event, this moment in time, that you call time,
finds the rotation of the Earth in such a place that planetary systems are
situated in their place; that a distinct form of energy comes forth from
Source. And it is the heart and the mind, the creative mind of humans now and
their intention that is being swept up into this journey. This, my dear
friends, is what is setting up that future path for 2012. It is a key point. It
is a key, not only time marker, but it is a key trail marker. What is in
the hearts and minds of humanity during this specific moment is bringing
forth possibilities of love, cooperation, of lifting the sights of the human
heart to the divine Creator-Of-All. It is Creator’s energy that is here at
this moment. We have told you how openings in the past have allowed the
beginnings of Creator’s energy to enter this planet. We won’t go into all of
those explanations because we have already given them. The most important
message is this is the moment of human interpretation of the divine event.
And so, there are lightworkers who have come and have brought their
brilliance of light. They have put it into the grid system. There are some
lightworkers who have brought their definitions of what the human components of
the Adam Kadmon physical body should be. They are in place. There are those
in some desperate parts of the world, who are coming forth and who are
acknowledging they want peace. They want more freedom to choose who they are
and what they are to do with their lives. There are many now on your planet
who wish to free themselves of the yoke of oppression and in the midst of
all of this, there are those dark who have been not only on your planet but
who have been throughout the cosmos. They are going home as they are
understanding, as they are getting the message also that this is the end of the
cycle.
And so, everything is finding its peace in the fulfillment of this time,
and so what I will say to you at this important moment of Earth’s history
and human encouragement and human deed: Take a moment to think of where your
heart is. What are you bringing to this journey? What is in your heart
about attitudes that you hold with regards to other souls on this planet no
matter how different they might be from you. Are you holding them in the image
of your love or are you looking down upon them? Are you withholding your
compassion from your brothers and sisters who find themselves in the moment
struggling with the dire situations that they find themselves in the
economy or on the political stage or have been imprisoned? Where is your heart
and mind?
It’s not important to understand what is in the cosmos, what is in the
world at this moment, at this time, at this place. What is important, my
friends, is what is in your heart, what is in your mind and above all, what is
your intent. What is your intent for your future, for your voice? Do you
stand in love and acceptance and compassion? If you stand in any other place,
it will not survive. Those emotions will not survive. There will be no more
hatred. Only love and compassion is the allowed theme to create on this
planet from now on. This is Jeshua speaking to your heart.
Mother Mary
We’re ready for Mother Mary’s message that is involved with the solstice
of June 2009, and I’m connecting to her heart. She stands there as the
queen. Elegant robes. She has an ornate crown on her head. She holds this
authority as it was given to her by her son Jeshua.
Mother Mary: With this comes responsibility, as you know. Every gift, no
matter what gift that one is given, there is responsibility connected to
that gift. Mine is a responsibility to the ones that I call my children. They’
re souls that inhabit this beautiful planet of yours called Earth.
And I stand before you in the essence of the mother, a mother who desires
only the most magnificent of events in my children’s journey. I understand
so well the trials and tribulations that you find along the path and I say
to you: The higher one travels on that mountain of spiritual understanding,
like any other mountain, it becomes steep towards the top. It becomes a
little harder to make your way to the top and like climbers on the very steep
peaks on the Earth, you must have lifelines to others, to assist each
other, to help keep one another on the path so that the challenges will not
cause them to let go and fall away.
I wish to speak from the point of view of community. My son spoke to you
about what is in your hearts on this momentous occasion when these energies
were coming forth in such profusion. How necessary it is to examine what
is in your heart and your mind and your intent towards what we call the
fellow passengers, the travelers, your neighbors.
And so, I say something that he has said. What is your intent? Are you
willing to cooperate? Are you willing to hold on to that lifeline? Are you
willing to help your neighbor hold onto the lifeline?
This doesn’t cost money if you don’t have it. It’s encouragement. It’s
being there to listen. It is bringing your understanding to those around you
to focus on what they are going through and if you can help them, then
allow that help to flow to them. It might be just to listen, just to listen as
they wish to unburden themselves in some way. So many of my children are
carrying heavy burdens. Part of that is what’s going on now in the world.
Part of it also is what you have brought forth from the past. Things that are
happening now in your present are triggering similar events from the past.
The trauma of those events are coming forward to the present and so someone
that you meet, it might seem that they are overreacting to an event. It’s
not just that event that is motivating them but really the subconscious
memory of maybe being flogged or being murdered.
All these events from the past paint a picture in their subconscious and
subconsciously they see it and they feel the pain and what might seem
trivial to you is an event of desperation for them. Look upon your sisters and
brothers with the understanding that all move along their path in a slightly
different direction carrying slightly different baggage but nevertheless,
you are all going to the same destination. Look upon those around you in a
new light because, you see, some of these who appear so humble, so
downtrodden might be wearing the unrecognized robes of your teacher. Some might even
seem demeaned in your eyes, yet within their hearts they hold a lamp of
innocent love. They might just be the one who can give you a view of what
innocent love really is, but you might have to show them compassion in some
form.
The treat of a cup of warm coffee on a cold, winter day. A meal to someone
who is hungry, who seems destitute. Answering a call to assist someone in
a foreign land with some of your resources if you have it.
Every traveler has a story. They have a story not only of what they have
learned in this lifetime but what they have learned over many lifetimes. And
sometimes, they hold THE answer, not just an answer, but the answer to
what you need now for you to move forward. Don’t pass these opportunities by.
They are holding mirrors that reflect your soul. The dog, for instance,
that is being held in a shelter, who is looking for a home might just be that
beautiful expression of the handiwork of God that could bring love into
your life if you would open your door to it. Every event, every moment, every
opportunity is sacred.
Now, at this magnificent time of this particular solstice, is the
opportunity to look around you. See the interaction that you might have with those
who are on your path. You are all my children. I love all of you. I want
each and every one of you to find your way home. Be companions to one another.
Be loving. You might find your greatest gift and awareness in sharing that
love.
My blessings to all of you.

I got this in my inbox today, and felt this channeling contains a lot of truth, so I decided to post it here. I hope those who read this will find it as informative as I did.
