Beyond Mastery

I Am. Full stop.

I Am.

Ahh...

I have spoken with you in the past as Master John, as Master Anna, both of which are beautiful handles that John has used to make it easier to talk about me. They also happen to represent some beautiful facets of mine. Oh, more than one, more than two. Some beautiful lifetimes that I am living out right now in other parts of your timescape. But today I come to you as just me.

Oh, but "just me" includes all that I am. It includes John, several Johns. It includes Anna, maybe more than one Anna. It includes so many other names, so many other people that I am, as John's soul.

Ahh...

We haven't said very much lately. We haven't channeled a message like this in several months because, well, I've been meeting John in a new place. And he's not quite sure what to do with that yet.

He's feeling me in new ways. He's understanding new things. He's going through an incredible transformation. And he's finding that he doesn't have very many words about any of it these days, so he's been hesitant to sit down and let me speak.

Oh, I have plenty of words. Words from all across the timescape of human history and far beyond. And when it all comes down to the essence, none of those words mean very much. They are all a form of identity.

Humans need an identity for themselves and for everything around them. You give everything a name. And if there's something you can't describe in words, you try to get away from it. It baffles you. It disturbs you. And usually you end up putting words on it even though they don't fit, and then you end up with a lot of misunderstandings.

But that's okay. That's part of the human experience, part of why I came here and embodied myself in so many different places in your time, your history and future, on this beautiful planet called Earth.

But we are not here to talk about all of those little identities, because there's something so much more important happening right now. And that is that John, his beautiful wife Romana, and so many others on this planet are coming to the end of their Earth journey. Coming to the fulfillment, the completion, of this incredible journey that we've been on.

Mmm...

And this is a big deal, dear friends.

Oh, it's not for everybody. Not yet.

Eventually it will be. But right now, oh, if our message is not making any sense to you, or if it offends your belief systems, that's okay. Put it down. Close it. Close this page, this recording, this—whatever, however, you are receiving it. Put it away. Go find something that's more comfortable for you, because you are not ready for this yet. And that's okay. Someday you will be, because ultimately, everyone wakes up.

That's why there is so much resistance to being "woke" right now. Because, well, morning is here. Morning is here for your planet, for the people on it. The sun is rising, consciousness is rising, and a lot of people don't want to wake up yet.

You know how it feels in the morning, when you're in these amazing dreams and you're so cozy and comfortable under your blankets, and the sun starts peeking in your window. Or somebody starts yelling at you, "It's time to get up! Time to get to work!"

Oh, you don't want to wake up. You don't want to go back into that boring work.

Well, that's where Earth is at right now. The sun is peeking in. Morning has come. It's time to wake up, and people don't want to. And that's okay. They don't have to. And please don't try to wake them up. They don't need to wake up now, and as you know, a point comes—even if you stay in bed until noon, a point comes where you just can't stay in bed anymore.

And that will come for every person on this planet, eventually. Maybe not in this lifetime, but in a lifetime very soon in your timeline.

But for right now, if you are here, if you are hearing this message, if you are feeling it, feeling the resonance in your heart, then you are waking up.

Oh, you can keep fighting it if you want to, but it's not going to work. You are already awake, and if you fight it, it's eventually going to hurt.

Oh, waking up may hurt also. Because in this waking up, you go through a transformation of everything that you are.

You lose that identity that you were having so much fun with in the dream. It's gone. History. You are not going to get it back.

Oh, you had so many dreams, human dreams, about your life, what it could be, how it could be. Dear friends, let them go.

Oh, we know that sounds harsh, but it's time, dear friend. Your waking life from now on, your—call it "woke life" just to push some buttons—your life as an awake human is not going to be anything like any of those dreams you've imagined. There might be elements here and there, but for the most part, it's going to be very different.

Because you haven't done this before. You have no experience on which to dream, to base your imagination.

And oh, so many people, as they wake up they realize they are the creators of their life, and they say, "Oh, goody, now I can create all these things I want! Lots of money in the bank, youth in my body, a beautiful new home, a new car, whatever."

Oh, some of those things might show up, but for the most part, your life is going to be very different than anything you have imagined before. And far more beautiful.

But it's confusing, because your mind can't figure it out. Your mind doesn't know what's happening now. Your mind doesn't know where you are going now. It's still sitting here trying to keep you safe. But it does that by looking into the past at all the dangers you've been through, and comparing them to what it sees in front of you, and trying to protect you. And it doesn't work.

It's time to let all of that go.

You feel things in your body, and you panic. "Oh, what did I do wrong? What did I eat that I shouldn't have? What do I need to do? Am I getting sick? Am I going to die? Am I...?" All these questions your mind asks.

Then you go off to the doctor and the doctor says, "I don't see anything wrong." Or, "I don't know what to tell you, try this." And they give you some medicine.

Or sometimes, they find an actual disease. Or at least that's how it looks from their perspective. But is it actually a disease, dear friend, or is it transformation happening?

No, we're not saying don't go to the doctor if you feel a need to. Trust that! Either it's important for your body, or you will learn something from it. Either way it's a good thing, so trust your intuition about whether or not to go to the doctor.

But understand that every identity, every definition in human life, is all out the window now. None of it applies anymore. Because you are transforming into an entirely new kind of being, and none of the old definitions and rules and knowledge and all of those things, none of it applies anymore!

Oh, you'll keep trying to apply it for a while, until you get tired of that game because it doesn't work. And then you'll come back to your soul and ask, "Dear soul, what's going on? What do I need to do?"

And your soul is going to smile and reply, "You are transforming. You don't need to do anything. All you need to do is put one foot in front of the other, or lay down and rest, or whatever brings you happiness in the moment. And when there are things in your life that don't bring you happiness, it is not your job to fix them. It is your job to be in presence with them, to notice the parts of you that are scared, the parts of you that are hurting. To simply wrap your metaphorical arms around those parts of you and tell them you love them. That's all.

"Everything else is a natural process, even if it doesn't seem like anything that has ever been in your nature before. It's still a natural process. You are transforming into an entirely new being, into an entirely new reality, and nothing is as it was."

So we ask you to take a deep breath.

Wrap your arms around yourself.

Give yourself a big hug and say, "I love you, dear me."

And then listen as your soul says, "Ah, welcome home, dear me. I love you so much."

And then you continue to go through your days, just as they are.

Oh, you have so many agendas, so many things you think you need to do, things you think you need to get done, beautiful things you want to experience or create, and that's beautiful. That's part of being a human on Earth.

So don't fight it, but also notice the places where you're trying to get somewhere, where you're trying to accomplish something or define something, or make a difference in some way, because that is not your job anymore.

You are not here to change the world in this lifetime. You've done that before.

You are not here to accomplish anything.

You are here to have an experience.

And it is not up to you, the human, as to what that experience is. It's up to your soul, your whole being, because this is it. This is the lifetime, for you who are waking up now. This is the lifetime where it all comes together.

Oh, you've been here on Earth many, many, many times in many, many different bodies. Each one was unique unto itself, even though it was a part of your soul.

You think of them as past lifetimes, but they are all happening right now. They are not actually in your past, except from the very limited human perspective. They are all happening right now. They are all part of you.

And now you, dear human, are the one waking up. You are the one through whom they all blend together into your soul. All of those different identities, all of those different lifetimes, everything you learned, every bit of wisdom from all of those journeys—it's all coming together now in your soul, in the core of you.

So, now is the time.

Oh, you are not here to accomplish anything, except to be that—oh, call it a bridge, call it a focal point, whatever you want. The personality that helps to bring it all together, to bring focus. Oh, that's not the right word either, but it's okay.

You are the one through whom all of these parts of you come together into your soul.

It's not your job to orchestrate that, and it's not your job to accomplish grand things on Earth while you are doing this. This is the grandest thing that has ever been done, but it's still not your job to orchestrate, or to plan, or to manage. It's your job simply to allow.

Your job is to walk the Earth in whatever way brings you joy.

To be with the parts of you that are not joyful, and simply breathe them in.

Wrap your arms around them, if they'll let you. Some aren't ready for that yet, but they are watching. They're watching the others, they're watching you, and your job is to simply be a safe space for them to be exactly who they are.

And in particular, to be a safe space for you. For exactly who you are.

Because when you do that, when you become the safe space for you, then you automatically become a safe place for them. Then they can come home.

Again, it's not for you to manage. It's not for you to figure out. It is simply for you to walk the earth in whatever grace you can muster, and be a safe space for you. That's all.

As you do that, everything in your life will fall into place in ways you cannot even imagine right now.

It won't look the way you expect it to look, but it will be beautiful.

You might go through things that embarrass you, but they are just here to help you break down that identity that you were so attached to.

You have to understand that embarrassment is a form of shame, and it's a choice. It's a way that you shame yourself. Oh, you could say that is the definition of embarrassment: shaming yourself for something so that maybe others won't pile so much shame on you.

Well, that's backwards. And it hurts you, so stop it. Please stop it.

You do not need to be embarrassed about anything. Even when you think you've made a mistake, you don't need to be embarrassed about it. It's just a way of feeding on energy, trying to get love from outside of you, trying to protect yourself from other people's judgments. And all of that is destructive to you. It puts stress on you that tears you down, wears you out, and doesn't work. It doesn't help you.

So, consider that. Consider letting go of any form of shame, including any form of embarrassment. There is no place for embarrassment in a master.

Oh, but we want you to consider going beyond that word, too.

"Master" is a beautiful concept for humans. You come to Earth and you choose a path in your life, you work hard, and you become a master. A master carpenter, master plumber, master whatever, and that's a beautiful thing. And now it's all the rage to become a master of life.

Well, it's time to let that go, because it's a human concept. It's a total misunderstanding of what you are doing, and it has become another point of human competition. Of human judgment and shame. So let's go beyond it.

The truth is—something John learned just a few months ago—the truth is that you had to be a master in order to even get to Earth.

That's how it was set up. Nobody has really talked about that, but it was true. It is true. You have to already be a master before you can even find Earth. Before you can—oh, it takes so much focus, so much manipulation of energies, just to get to Earth, to be born on Earth, and to go through a human lifetime.

Oh, you did a lot of things before you ever came to Earth. You learned a lot about energies. You became a master. You became enlightened.

And then you said, "But I want to know myself more. More deeply, more fully." And so you helped to create this game—that's the best description we have for it—that you call time-space reality and includes Earth and humans.

You came here knowing full well who you are, and you came into this environment. You agreed to forget, temporarily, who you were, so that you could come into this strange environment and go through some experiences. Experiences you will never forget. Experiences that have brought you so much wisdom. But your job has never been to become a human master.

Oh, it was part of the setup for you to think that, but that has never truly been your job.

Your job was simply to have the experience, and along the way to discover more of the incredible, beautiful master that you are.

So, let's have no more talk about who on Earth might be a master and who might not be. Because, you see, you are all masters.

How much money you have or don't have has nothing to do with being a master. Nothing at all!

How healthy you are, or how unhealthy, has nothing to do with whether you are a master or not. Nothing at all!

None of the human measurements have anything to do with whether you are a master or not.

How good or evil you are has absolutely nothing to do with whether you are a master or not, or with how enlightened you are. They are just games that you are playing.

And yes, that hurts a bit. Because it means that when you look out in the world and you see all those crazy, evil-seeming people, you have to acknowledge that they too are masters, enlightened beings here playing a game in order to discover more of themselves. And also to help provide an environment where you can discover more of yourself in relationship to those games, and to the games you are playing.

Oh, there is this beautiful metaphor—we've talked about it before—in your scriptures, your Christian Bible. It talks about how this God—who doesn't actually exist, because it's you—created the earth, created a garden on Earth and placed humans in it, and placed two trees there:

The Tree of Life. And God said, "You can eat from the Tree of Life anytime you want to."

And then there was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Notice it was not the Tree of Good and Evil. It was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. And God said, "Don't eat from that tree, because if you do, you will die."

Well, humans and angels and all beings are curious by nature, and so of course they had to eat from that tree. They had to mess around with knowing what good and evil is. With judging it, with deciding what's good and what's evil. And they have been dying ever since.

Not because God punished them, but because deciding what is good and evil, judging other people and especially yourself, rips you apart inside. And you eventually die from the stress, from the strain, from that ripping inside.

You've been trying for eons of time to make all the evil go away, and it doesn't work. Because the light and the dark, also known as the good and the evil, are two sides of a whole. And neither side can ever win over the other. Ever.

So, the solution is not in banishing the evil.

The solution is in, well, it is truly in forgiveness. And forgiveness is simply the realization, the acknowledgement, that there is no such thing as good and evil. That it is all just an experience.

Your soul cannot be damaged.

Who you are cannot be damaged, and never has been damaged.

It's just a game.

When you take that pressure off yourself, you no longer have to be a certain way. And that leaves you free to be you. Whatever that is.

That takes the stress out of life.

It allows your wisdom to come in.

It allows you to live in a whole new way.

And your mastery can shine forth.

It becomes your light, and it can shine out.

Not to impose itself upon anyone else, but simply to illuminate.

To illuminate their mastery, the mastery of the others, because it is there.

If you are saying, "Well, that person looks like a master to me. But that one over there, they don't look like a master at all. Look how messed up their life is or how bad they are acting." Well, you are still stuck in that illusion, because it's not true.

They are masters, too. They are just playing out a different role in the game, the game of masters. The game that can only be played by masters.

So let them play.

Meanwhile, you play out your role, which at this point is simply about allowing the awakening to happen. The awakening to who you truly are. That's all.

It's not about making your human life okay. It's certainly not about making it perfect or making all your dreams come true. It's time to let those go.

Allow the Soul Dreams to come in. They are so much bigger and so much more beautiful than the human dreams!

The human might not understand right away, but it's time to allow it.

It is not about healing everything in your body. That will take care of itself in the right time.

It is not about getting rich. A time is coming very soon where rich won't even be a concept, because your economy is changing. Everything is changing.

It's not about getting the human stuff right.

It is about simply allowing the experience, being in presence with what is right now, instead of trying to fix it and change it and get beyond it.

No, be in presence with it, whatever it is.

Whatever feelings are coming up inside of you, whatever is happening on the outside of you, be in presence with it.

Allow it to be your experience, for now.

Oh, it will change. It will continue to change, and there are so many beautiful potentials ahead of you.

But it is up to you to allow it. That's all.

To be in presence with life, just as it is right now, in this moment and in each continuing moment. That is your job.

That is your only job.

Everything else you do, do it because it brings you joy in the moment, not because it might lead to some success in the future. That's a trap. For you, that is a big trap.

No, do things because they bring you joy here and now. Because the process of doing them brings you joy.

That is the only reason to do anything.

When you are tired and your body is hurting, rest. Read a good book, watch a movie, sleep, whatever.

Rest. Nurture yourself.

This is a really, really big thing you are doing!

Even though the mind can't see it, and the mind doesn't understand it, it is a really, really big thing! And you need a lot of rest, so give that to yourself.

That's all.

Rest, and walk through life.

Be in presence with life. With yourself. With your soul.

Look in the mirror and greet your soul.

It's right there!

It's looking back at you through your own eyes.

Talk with it. Have a conversation with it.

It's right there.

Be in presence with it.

It's not some other being. It is you.

It is your core, your core essence.

And also the core essence of all those many, many, many, many other humans, human versions of you, that are walking the Earth in some part of the timescape. Right now.

You might even catch a glimpse of some of them in the mirror.

Just smile and say, "I love you."

They'll hear it. Some part of them will hear it. They'll hear it as coming from their soul, from their future. Or maybe just from an angel, but it's actually you.

Just say, "I love you. You're doing fine."

Then bring your attention back, and say that to you in the mirror.

Wrap your arms around you. Look in your own eyes in the mirror and say, "I love you."

Then allow your soul to look in your eyes from that mirror and say, "I love you."

Mmm...

It is an honor to speak with you today. It is an honor for John to allow us to speak.

There will be more. He's still finding his balance through this transformation, but there will be more. Until then, until next time, be well. Be you!

That's the important thing. Be you!

Allow you.

Let go of all those judgments and all that shame and embarrassment, all those fears that hold you back.

Don't drive them away. Just allow them, and walk through them.

Mmm...

Allow you, just as you are.

And so it is.
