“They Really Have No Idea What It Takes”

Beloved Mother,

For the last several days I have been pondering a dream I had a short time ago. Actually, it wasn’t so much a dream as it was a retreat-like experience. It was a beautiful interchange with a soul who recently took his leave of this octave, a very precious soul who exemplified qualities of the Holy Spirit throughout his life.

He appeared before me suddenly, out of nowhere. I can remember nothing of the surroundings or the context in which this happened. He just was.

He stood very straight and tall, his eyes shining and full of love, yet his countenance was serious. We communicated not with words but through some kind of unspoken energy that felt like love.

I greeted him with “Hello! Aren’t you going to take your ascension?”

He gently replied, “Oh, no. I have taken the Bodhisattva vow and will remain with earth until all of my loved ones are free.” Of course it was implicit that he meant not just the circle of family and friends he had recently left behind but the far greater circle of God’s loved ones everywhere on earth. This did not really surprise me because it was his nature to so serve.

He hastened to add, very solemnly and with what seemed almost a sadness in his heart, “And they really have no idea what it takes.” It was a straightforward statement. I understood it as follows:

After his transition and subsequent weeks conversing with the Masters and angels in the etheric octave, which must have also included some kind of review of the requirements of the ascension, he had come to realize that most Lightbearers did not fully appreciate or understand just what it takes to become a candidate for the ascension. He was shown that far too many souls had become complacent about their spiritual path, that they either had taken it for granted or had become preoccupied with desires that were taking them further away from God.

This was a genuine concern on the part of this dear soul. He was struggling with how, as a bodhisattva, he would be able to affect the liberation of lifestreams on this planet: How was he going to help them see?

The conclusion of my meditations on my interaction with this blessed one is that what he was really saying was: “Sons and daughters of God and Keepers of the Flame: Wake up! You have to try harder and press on. You really have no idea what it takes!”

This, of course, is in keeping with our beloved El Morya’s adage “no man knoweth the measure of himself,” which is to say, “since none of us has any idea how far we have come or how far we yet have to go, we must not weary in well doing but work while we have the light.” Truly, none of us knows what tomorrow may bring.

This experience has been a true inspiration for me, just as it was to have known this dear soul while he was in embodiment.
