Acceptance & Truth Astra, channeled by
Anna Harlas Acceptance is an important part of your Be-ing that creates the path to peace from within. In order to create peace, you must accept what is within the moment. Your Ego consciusness has great difficulty in accepting its creation of fear. If a situation is negative and threatening to the Ego perception, it rejects it. There is no Acceptance - there is resistance. And resistance creates more fear and manifests behavior that creates karmic energy. In order to be within God consciousness (to experience peace and balance) you must be open to accept that which exists within the moment. You can only do this when you are conscious (aware) that you have created that which exists. When you are conscious of this truth, then you are free to accept. But if you through your Ego, do not take responsibility for that which has manifested in your life, but you give it to others and to circumstances from which you have detached any responsibility, you will not have peace, for there is no Acceptance. It is only a Be-ing who is focused within God consciousness who can see he is the creator of every event in his life. So he accepts responsibility for his creations, even those that are negative, for he understands they were manifested to awaken him from a sleep state. That they came from his Ego perception and that his true self (God-self) was not a co-creator in this creation. Therefore, through God consciousness, he is open to examine his creation and to pursue a balance. Acceptance can be likened to a running brook: As the water runs down the mountain, it is going with the flow of energy. It is accepting its direction. It does not fight to stop and go in the opposite direction. It is open and therefore receives the direction that united it with a larger body of water. Again, you are the stream and your God-self is the larger body of water to which your energy is being directed to unite. So understand when you accept that you are an extension, a reflection, of the One God, then you are able to accept that this life in which you find your energy is but a small part of your true self. It is a vital part that experiences directly through the senses all of the bodies that are within the one consciousness. You experience not only through the physical body but you experience the mind of God, the creative power of God, the creative process itself in a very intimate way. It is all held within the perception of mind. Your true identity is hiding somewhere within your perception, within your mind and you are here to discover it. Only through Acceptance of what is in the moment can discovery occur and connect you to the power you are. Questions asked on acceptance: I am working on accepting myself and I find it difficult because I have a sense of lack from within. If order to love yourself you must accept everything about yourself. You have possessed glimpses of loving yourself only in particular situations that created a sense of peace for your Ego, and as soon as the situation changed and your Ego felt threatened, you fell out of love. It is as if you were another person. For a moment, think of yourself in that way. When you are with other beings and they are behaving the way you like you love them and accept them; yet as soon as they do something that does not suit you, you fall out of love with them in the moment. You become angry or disillusioned, you judge them, you feel threatened - then fear takes over and you doubt the relationship. When you do this within your own being, you become the fickle lover of yourself. You only accept what you feel is rewarding and safe for your Ego. You must begin to see how you do this with your own energy. You love and accept yourself when your Ego feels safe, when it feels it will not be rejected, abandoned or destroyed in any way. As soon as you challenge your Ego by doing something that threatens it in a physical or emotional plane, you fall out of favor with yourself and you judge your actions. In this way, you are not accepting of who you are. And by not accepting, you allow fear to consume your energy and block you from truly experiencing your life.
Q: You say, if a Be-ing's Ego does not accept his own behavior, he becomes a fickle lover. How then do you discern what is right for you? This confuses me because even though you may be accepting of yourself, you may still find that there will be others whose behavior you cannot accept. When you are truly in acceptance of yourself with all your faults and strengths, all your actions and reactions, this does not mean you condone your negativity. It means you recognize it- that it exists- and you accept its existence. For only through accepting can you balance the negativity that you see. You do not deny it- you do not hide from it- you do not try to manipulate others so they will overlook it. You are open and honest with all that exists. This is Acceptance. Accepting does not mean condoning. It does not mean that you become rigid or that you are casual in this acceptance. True compassion manifests from acceptance. When you accept yourself, you are giving yourself permission to grow by allowing yourself to make mistakes and to feel your emotions and to express them, even if they are negative. By giving yourself this freedom, you are also to love your whole Be-ing, and this love creates the awareness that you are growing through your experiences in this life, that you are learning of your God-self in every moment. When you can do this for yourself, then you can do this for others, as well. By accepting, you are permitting others to be who they are, where they are, in every moment. You do not judge them or reject them. You give them space to find their own way. For judging creates obstacles and confusion and rejection, greater pain and a deep sense of loss. At the same instant, this does not mean you must embrace them and permit them to judge or reject you. It does not mean that you must keep company with a Be-ing who is not vibrating at the same level of consciousness as you. What it does mean is that you love them as you know them in Truth- as an extension of God (a reflection of the One) and you understand that where they are vibrating is exactly where they need to be in order for them to grow into their own awareness, for every Be-ing must experience the darkness in order to come into the light. You must hold compassion within your heart for their journey as you hold compassion for your own- then you will be in true alignment with the ingredient "Acceptance".
TRUTH Within the Ego perception, there are many Truths. The Ego creates truth that satisfies its expectations. In other words, if within your Ego believing something that makes you feel secure in the moment becomes your truth, it does not necessarily mean that it is true. Truth is an energy that has no longevity through the Ego perception, for what is true today may be a lie tomorrow. It may be a lie in the next moment. So understand that through your Ego perception, you use the word "Truth" when it suits you, when it fits your illusion. Truth is simple in that when it is present it cannot be denied- it is accepted by all who are exposed to it. In each Be-ing on the earth plane, there is little connection to Truth, for in Truth you do not see yourself as who you are, and therefore you are seeing untruths about yourself. You believe things about your personality that are passed down to you through the perception of others- you believe your faults are Truth, and irreversible. You understand only what you can reason through your Ego consciousness. And that is why every individual holds his own truth that is separate form another's. Here, again, you are dividing your energy. You are living a reality created out of the great illusion of separateness, for there is only one Truth and that truth is that all that exists is One, is God. Within this truth, you see clearly the Truth that you are responsible for your creation, for you are the creator of your existence within this Earth plane. You hold the power for raising the vibration of the whole by seeing this one truth within every Be-ing, within everything you do, within everything you create in this lifetime. See clearly that Truth is eternal. It is never changing. It remains constant. Only that which is constant can be true. All the shifts in your energy, all movements in the mind that consciously change your focus are untruths, for this is the illusion playing out its many manifestations, and therefore there is no permanence in these truths, so they are illusions of mind! You do not have to look for Truth, for it exists in the eternal energy of God. And to know that this is your identity is to know Truth. Q: Does knowing ourselves in Truth give us power? By believing in the ego's illusion of the Earth plane, you have separated from Truth. In separating from Truth, you have separated from your power. Separating from your power creates pain and negativity and imprisons you to karmic lessons. Your God self does not claim the Ego' illusion; however, it accepts the manifestation of such illusion and remains constant in Truth (neutral), never being seduced by the Ego's creation, and therefore always free to create. It is all about the perception you hold through your Ego consciousness, for you hold many ideas about yourself, and every one of them is false. What ever you think about yourself is incorrect, for your Ego has created these ideas. The Ego operates through illusion, and that is why Truth becomes illusive. Your Ego works to protect these false truths. See the Truth: That you are all that exists. And do not claim any one part of your existence. Do not claim your goodness or your evilness or your cleverness or your ability to create, because in claiming what is created is separation. You then become what you claim and your energy is limited to that one part of your wholeness, and you are no longer free to receive all that you see, which is God. This is difficult for your Ego to understand, but if you claim nothing then you are free to be everything that exists within creation. And as your energy moves, you are free to embrace every part of you as it manifests before you, for you are not obstructed by the illusion that you are any one thing, so you are in total freedom to accept that which exists in Truth, in every moment. Life can be joyful if it is experienced through the awareness of your True self. If you take this journey in Truth, you will be free of pain and fear. To know Truth is to know God! From
