Hello dear ones! This is Raphael.

The intensity continues, does it not? You are alternating between periods of intense purification and periods of calm. The intervals between each however, are getting shorter and shorter. So indeed, each of you must ride the waves of light as skillfully as you can in order to remain peaceful. Even if you have difficulty with this, these waves will continue to affect each of you. But if you can learn to ride the energy by dancing with their waves, it can be a much more joyful experience.

For many of you, you are in the throes of the holiday season. Families visit you. Or you may travel to visit others. Many of you will be exchanging gifts so you may feel the pressure of acquisition at this time. You may have to balance your desire to give with your ability to maintain stability in your finances. Some of you may be cleaning, cooking, preparing your homes and welcoming guests while you continue to go to work–doing so much that you run the risk of exhausting yourselves.

This is a perfect time for each of you to learn balance and centeredness. As you are offering your service by gift giving, cooking, entertaining and other kinds of preparations, it is easy to get lost in the intensity of the experience and your sense of time pressures. Now more than ever, it is a good time to learn to rest in your own centeredness as you perform outer actions. Just as you are moving through your day doing all of these activities, learn to keep part of your awareness always focused within.

Now many of you will ask, how do I do that with all of this busyness around me? Please know that it is very, very possible to remain in that state. The key is your priorities. If your priority is completely external and focused on outer achievement, you will lose touch with your inner source of light. However if you always maintain the priority of focusing on that divine light within, no matter what actions you need to perform, you will automatically remember to stay focused on that light.

Think about it. You know what it feels like when you feel great pressure to “get things done”. You may become one-pointed on the actions required to achieve your outer goal, but at that point, you have totally shifted your priorities to external objects and goals. This is when you lose your center. And this is when most of you will eventually become scattered, anxious, stressed and feel pressured.

If instead, you turn your attention within even while you are doing your daily activities, everything will change. Solutions begin to flow effortlessly toward you. A perfect suggestion is offered that solves a difficulty. Help arrives just at the right time. An intense meeting is suddenly canceled. Doors always open for those who remain focused on the light even in stressful situations.

The key to flowing through times that are very intense and high pressured or emotional, is to always keep some of your focus directed within. For those of you who just sit in meditation to find that inner light but don’t yet experience it in your world, this may seem almost impossible. But this is what you came to this dream experience to ultimately learn.

When you keep your focus and your priority on remaining in direct connection with divine light, you are strengthening that connection through every moment of your waking state. This is how you build the spiritual “muscles” to break through the subtle dream that you are currently experiencing.

Great beings who embody the highest truths don’t just experience them in meditation. They are a walking connection, a pipeline so to speak, to divine light. They are constantly focused on that divinity no matter what they appear to be doing in the world. And they have learned to maintain that focus at all times no matter what might be presented to them in their life.

This is your highest goal. If you see the light in meditation and have the understanding that it is there all of the time, but you don’t live in the constant experience of this truth, you have not completed your lessons.

Always remain focused on supreme consciousness. Always remain absorbed in the ecstasy of your own divine light, and always dance within while interacting with this divine play that is your own creation. Each of your souls, no matter what other things they want to learn through an earth experience, ultimately want to learn this.

Once you are in this state, there are no distractions that can take you away from immersion in divine light. Let your mind become so focused on this light that in every moment of your waking state, you are always looking within at its radiance, always immersed in love for that supreme divinity, and always aware of your oneness with all.

We all send you much, much love and blessings,

Raphael
