Blessed ones, 

I address you in this manner because I see you steadily being lifted up into an ever-higher, sacred and holy state of consciousness, as you continue to decree with enthusiasm and faith for the Presence of God I AM to take full command of your lives. 

As you go through this process of unification and come to enter into constant communion with this ever present part of yourself, I have observed that from time to time, there can be confusion within your consciousness due to the fact that you may think you are not always focused enough upon your God-reality. So it is necessary, in the first stages of spiritual development, that a just awakened lifestream must often take time during the course of the day to consciously place his or her attention upon their God Presence, thus creating a solid and firm foundation upon which to build. However, in no way does this mean that when you are not consciously thinking of God, you are not in attunement, for once this connection has been made and you remain purified and clear, this connection is always open. Over time you shall come to create a wonderful and loving relationship, speaking with your Presence and listening for a response in a very natural and easy way. 

I AM sure you can recall many situations in your life when you were inspired with just the right words to share, offering solace to a friend, relative, or even someone with whom you had no apparent connection, bringing them comfort. At a time such as this you may not have consciously called upon your God Presence, but you certainly were working in the light just the same. 

As my beloved brother Saint Germain has said, "development of a spiritual nature does not happen overnight" and to be of lasting value it must be taken one step at a time, having patience with yourself and others every step of the way, as both your individual plan and the magnificent future of this planet rapidly continues to unfold. 

Close your eyes now, beloved ones and take a few moments to offer love and gratitude to your Presence. Feel yourself enfolded within this loving embrace of great light and reverence for your life. Consciously affirm in your mind that your seven bodies have come together to create one magnificent being of light, who has many great things to do in this lifetime. Expand your vision outward and see the magnificence of all your brothers and sisters in this activity of light. Offer gratitude to God for the wonderful opportunity to be together once again. Know that as you do this, I AM also enfolding you in my love. 

Æolus
