THE COMPLETE SERAPHIN MESSAGES
Written in August, 2020
In 2009, while lying in bed fully awake, I heard someone saying the words “NOW I AM HERE”. As I was completely alone, this startled me to the core. Later I sought out a medium for more information about the owner of this voice. I was told that my old, personal, unseen guide had departed, and a new one had come in his place, because of the intense times ahead. When I asked the name of the new guide, I was told that he was an angel called SERAPHIN, and that he would welcome communication.
But how did this communication begin? In 2010, I fell ill and spent a whole day in bed, which as a busy mother was practically unprecedented. I had time to contemplate, and I remembered the voice I had heard during the night, some months before. Although I had taken it seriously, I had not taken the initiative to try and make contact with this angel. Indeed, it had seemed an impossible thing to do. As I have always had a particular penchant for writing, I decided to write down my questions, and to see if the angel or anyone else would provide any answers.
Almost immediately, I began to hear the answers in my head, and wrote them down. The answers were of such a nature and quality that it was obvious that they were not coming from my own thoughts or imagination. The messages came rapidly, in all shapes and sizes, and at all times of the day and night, always precise, clear and thought provoking. These answers were not coming from me, but through me. I realised that I was having short conversations with a group of unseen entities called THE LEGION OF LIGHT, who were concerned with the promotion of spiritual truths through the arts.
The Legion informed me about one of their members, the angel Seraphin, who had spoken to me and who wished to communicate. My subsequent questions to Seraphin were answered by him immediately, and I recorded his very swift, concrete and wise replies. Our conversations ranged from personal to global issues.
Communication continued in earnest in October 2010 when I increasingly addressed Seraphin about the state of our planet and the very grave necessity for monumental change. Whereas the earlier messages consist of our personal conversations, in question and answer mode, the later messages are universally applicable and relevant, destined for everyone who will listen. They often start with the words: “Dear Inhabitants of Earth”. It became clear to me that the wisdom offered here, if applied on a global scale, would have astonishingly positive effects on the spiritual development of earth’s inhabitants.
This aspect of my life, acting as a carrier for celestial wisdom, increased rapidly. I started to post the messages on the internet on various sites and forums, and some readers in other countries were so enthusiastic that they started to translate them voluntarily into other languages (notably into German, Italian, Dutch, Spanish and Korean). The positive feedback I received from friends and other telepaths encouraged me to continue.
My trust in this process, and in this divine connection, has become extremely strong. As the scribe of these messages, I am well familiar with their content and style, but proofreading them all at once for this publication was even more fascinating; they were so very relevant to current affairs, offering solutions to so many self-made problems.
Re-reading the messages also revealed my own personal development and the value of self-reflection. They are also a testimony to the dedication of our unseen guides to our spiritual progress. I am so grateful to Seraphin who has provided me with the opportunity to launch on this fascinating journey: he has guided my painting and writing hand in these critical, but also wondrous times.
Seraphin states his own purpose as follows:
“We are single-minded in our purpose: to support and foster all souls on their way through the ascension process, so that they too can one day merge with the infinite divine chord, in turn acting as a stable, supportive undercurrent for those who follow”
“Some of you may ask why this scribe has been receiving my thoughts and posting my messages over the last few years. This is not a fanciful preoccupation, undertaken during leisure time. This is an essential introduction to new courses of behaviour and instructions on how to improve your perceptions of yourselves and your interactions. This is – and I will repeat this – ESSENTIAL DUE TO THE VERY DEPLORABLE STATE OF AFFAIRS ON YOUR PLANET, ALL OF WHICH HAVE RESULTED FROM NEGLIGENT BEHAVIOUR. It is not that we are harping on, pointing fingers and criticising. It is that we are actually attempting to PREVENT THE GLOBAL BOAT FROM CAPSIZING”
“These messages are not PREVENTIVE MEASURES OR POLITE SUGGESTIONS WHICH YOU MIGHT READ ON SUNDAYS. THEY ARE POINTING YOU TOWARDS THE ONLY DIRECTION WHICH WILL SAVE YOU FROM SELF DESTRUCTION. THE ANSWER TO ALL OF YOUR SORROWS IS THE SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION IN YOURSELVES, hence the name of the project (The Spiritual Revolution Project) initiated with our scribe – a project which encourages understanding across all nations, all religions and all social circumstances”
“Our purpose is to encourage you to always make decisions IN EARTH’S FAVOUR, even in (and especially in) the smallest of issues, which are, in reality, very important issues, if seen from a cumulative aspect where billions of people are involved, for earth has been your benevolent benefactress for many thousands of years. To ignore this is encouraging your peril”
“Why do we send out this message? BECAUSE THE TIME OF FINAL CHOOSING IS READILY APPROACHING, AND BECAUSE THE EARTH HAS CHOSEN TO REJECT ALL NEGATIVITY LOADED UPON HER. This she will do by moving and shaking. This she will do by slowing down the pace of her rotation and stopping. This is what you call a magnetic reversal”
“The secondary purpose of these messages is to demonstrate that communication with off-planet beings (so-called “angels”, of which there are myriad varieties) is possible, and that this is in fact a great benefit for personal development and – if well received and circulated – a great benefit for global development”
“We thank this scribe, for she does not like to put out such strong words, yet they are necessary at this time. DON’T SHOOT THE MESSENGER FOR THIS MESSAGE. Instead, look around you – at the violence, the lack of compassion, the deliberate destruction, the lack of beauty, the debased morals, the pollution, and ask yourselves HOW CAN THIS BE?
Not until you have investigated and discovered the very root of this within yourselves will you also rediscover the divine purpose in yourselves which is to restore this earth to her former glory through your optimal behaviour”.
My primary purpose here is to publish the entire collection of over 400 messages in four volumes, presenting Seraphin’s advice and wisdom for the education of others, so that we have the tools to create a peaceful, beautiful and abundant world together. This is of vast importance, in view of the state of desecration, pollution, corruption, violence and abuse which presently exists on our planet, and which is the result of our collective behaviour.
Earth will implement her own solution to this burden, and it is our task to ensure that it does not happen again. Moving towards spiritual maturity is essential, and Seraphin’s teachings point us clearly in this direction.
The Seraphin Messages cover practically every aspect of life as a human being on this planet. They offer solutions to the very grave global situation - culminating in 2020 as I write – which will ultimately lead to self-annihilation if left uncorrected. Seraphin has stated that the messages will continue until such a time as they are rendered unnecessary. Right from the beginning, they have always harboured a sense of urgency, indicating that radical change is necessary, issuing warnings and making predictions. It is with hindsight that we will see the accuracy of these statements, even if the period of “closure” of this planetary era has taken longer than anticipated, due to an extension of the period of grace granted to those souls still needing time to progress.
My secondary motive is to demonstrate that much can be achieved from small beginnings, if one is prepared to act upon intuitive “hunches”, which are actually our unseen guides giving us a “push”. Those friends who have witnessed this development, from the very first messages when I was still unsure of this process, will confirm that the confidence and ability to receive or “download” information or advice from “dimensions” beyond our physical world can start from a small seed of trust, and grow into a tree of great stature, if aligned with the principles and laws of balance of the Divine Creation. If our intent is pure, and if we are dedicated to benefitting others, then celestial help will inevitably be forthcoming.
I would encourage everyone with similar desires and intent to use their talents for the promulgation of truth, for you too can communicate with an angel, or alternatively activate the “divine adviser” residing within you, acting upon impulses which result from that connection for the benefit of others, with all the creative means at your disposal. At this juncture, I would like to quote an inspiring message for all reading here who would also like to “activate the divine telephone”:
Through Rosie, 21st December 2010,
Rosie: Seraphin: it still seems incredible that I can just formulate my questions on paper, and that the answers pop into my head, and that I can write them down at great speed without much contemplation. I do read the messages through afterwards to check for clarity and omissions, but generally it is already clear-cut.
Seraphin: Yes, Beloved. The more you trust in the process, the faster the answers will flow. The hesitation in such a process is ALWAYS ON THE END OF THE RECEIVER as opposed to the transmitter. Transmitters from the angelic realms are rarely subject to “writer’s block”. They are capable of assembling their thoughts in a suitable way, rapidly and at will. In fact, we almost know in advance what you are going to ask because we are familiar with your thought patterns, your physical experiences, your emotional responses and your spiritual capacity, so we can encase our responses in language or metaphors which you can best receive, understand, and transmit further.
Should questions then arise as a result of written publication of such messages, you are subsequently well-equipped to reply and to enter into a dialogue because our mode of expression echoes your own. Here we are talking about DIVINE DIALOGUES, which means methods by which divine knowledge or truth can filtrate down and spread in the physical space which exists on your earth. THIS IS AN INTERIM SOLUTION TO ASSIST THOSE WHO ARE NOT YET USING THEIR OWN DIVINE TELEPHONES.
It is not the position of a “channeller” to receive divine instruction and to present it as their own, but to function as a link – an instrument of disseminating knowledge – while simultaneously acknowledging the source. This act of recognition allows the connection to continue and grow, acting as an increasingly effective conduit for the broadcast of spiritual wisdom.
May all who read here be enrichened by the divine wisdom thus clarified and presented. Rosie Jackson, July 2020
Through Rosie, 24th Feb 2010
Rosie: I wonder if there is anyone around who can answer this. It is my intent to ask why we sometimes don’t “get around” to doing the essentials, or something which in our heart of hearts we always wanted to do, like channel, develop a relationship with a guiding angel, address large audiences, or something which usually seems too grand or huge to contemplate. Is it lack of conviction, lack of discipline, lack of trust in the divine that everything is possible? Is there anything else holding us off? Pushing us away? Unseen forces? I have read so much lately that I am unsure of what is true and what is untrue. I am critical of everything in our system on this planet. I even suspect prize-winning films showing “new” insights into appalling human rights situations. Maybe this is pioneering journalism. Maybe it is an instrument of manipulation. I cannot tell any more. Is there anyone out there wishing to make a comment on this?
Legion of Light: Dearest sister, we have always hoped that you would one day start to do this. The first thing is: when you start doing this it feels extremely strange, like a lightbulb is flashing on and off and your perspective of reality is losing its edges and begs redefinition. This is what you are doing at the moment. Reality is always subjective, and from where we sit you are all part of an enormous puzzle, part of waves transforming the planet, but no-one gets to see how big the wave really is. But we can see it.
Rosie: My intention is to do all I can in alignment with divine will. Have you any specific message for me?
Legion of Light: Yes, my child. Just continue and see that you don’t fall into despair. We are so joyful, so optimistic about coming events and we want to convey that to you now. We see you and all of you as children of a new country, with new hopes, new values. Keep along this track and we will all be moving towards a new reality. I thank you.
Rosie: I thank you too. Can I ask another question?
Legion of Light: Go ahead.
Rosie: Has someone been painting and writing though me during the last 5 years?
Legion of Light: Seraphin is the one with instructions to complete this task. You know of him. It is all as planned. You will not have to wait for too long now for your efforts to come to fruition. We are with you always. I know you want to know who we are. We would like to remain unknown. There will be a time when all is revealed. And so we will leave you now.
Through Rosie, 10th March 2010
Rosie: Dear Legion, I have been hearing the worlds “constant communion” in my head this morning and I feel that you may be wanting to give me a message on this topic. Is this so?
Legion: Yes, my dear one, we would like to talk with you today about being close to the divine source, as the daily routines of your everyday lives are sometimes seen as in opposition to all that is, and in opposition to the divine rivers that flow, but in this you are so mistaken my loved ones because every moment is a connection to the divine source and there is only one thing to change: your constant awareness of this. Your connection is always “online”, as you like to call it in your part of the universe. The energy that propels you towards the fulfilment of your very personal divine plan is always at hand. The air that you breathe is the essential life force with which you are always in contact, whether you realise it or not.
The dark ones are cut off from this constant connection. THEY ARE MOVING WITH STEALTH AND SECRECY TO DISCONNECT YOU FROM THE SOURCE OF DIVINE LIGHT BUT I SAY THAT IT IS ALWAYS WITH YOU AND ALWAYS WILL BE INDEPENDENT OF YOUR CHOICES TODAY. THE SEPARATION OF THE WAYS IS IMMINENT AND THEN THE EARTH WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH ALL THOSE WHO ARE CONNECTED TO HER FEELINGS AND WHO ARE WILLING TO SERVE AND PARTICIPATE IN THIS HER OVERWHELMING PERIOD OF GROWTH. WE HOPE THAT YOU ALL UNDERSTAND THIS AND THAT YOU BECOME AWARE OF YOUR CONSTANT COMMUNION WITH THE EARTH AND ITS LIFE GIVER SO THAT ASCENSION CAN BE COMPLETED IN WAYS WHICH IS BEST FOR ALL CONCERNED. DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM THE LIGHT. BE CONSTANTLY VIGILANT IN THESE LAST DAYS OF DARKNESS. WE GREET YOU AND SALUTE YOU FOR YOUR TENACITY DURING THIS TIME. HEED OUR WORDS, THE LEGION
Through Rosie, 16th March 2010
Rosie: Dear Legion of Light: I have been thinking about what my priorities are at this present time. So much I could start, so much I could finish. But I feel like I am in limbo, waiting for everything to commence, and that there is not much point in starting or beginning, except continuing with the usual daily routine and looking after my family. Is there anything you would like to say to me about this?
Legion: The view around you is very cloudy. The weather has been like this for some time and is an indication of the present times. There is always another reality behind the perimeter of what you are presently looking at. The setting of priorities at this juncture is a debilitating exercise because you do not know what is before you, indeed, you do not know what is behind you because your “history” is not that which you suppose it to be. You can make choices, yes, but this is only relevant to the space in which you perceive, in the space you have created for yourselves, in a space which is restricted and unconnected with the celestial realms. And so we ask you please to exercise your powers of decision in view of the fact that your decisions may feel right to you, but that they are restricted in nature as they are taken from the perspective of earth, and an injured earth at that, and not from where we are sitting (they laugh).
Rosie: How do you feel from where you are sitting?
Legion: We are so excited about the wondrous things which will come to pass and we are checking the routes and passageways of all our little ones, trying to guide them to the right place at the right time so that they will have a star to guide themselves by when the time is ripe. We harbour all sorts of hopes for you my children and support you on the way of the heart towards the best possible outcome for all concerned. Turn to the light and the light will turn to you. The world will soon be a brighter place and we have come to illuminate it. That is why we are known as the Legions of Light. We thank you.
Through Rosie, August 28th 2010
A welcoming message from the Legion of Light
Dear friends in darkness: we advise that whatever your position, this will soon change to encompass a new beginning, a new shade of colour, a new dimension of reality which shall include the vibrations of BEAUTY and the appreciation thereof.
This child who writes sometimes wonders why she is so still and sad when she gazes on roads, on large areas of concrete which stifle the ground. It is because she wishes to walk on holy ground, the ground of the new age, the unblemished skin of your earth, embellished by individual artistic and creative effort as opposed to present-day mass-produced monstrosities which pervade and uglify the planet.
We, the Legion of Light, will guide those among you to develop your creative powers, to produce visual pleasure for the joy of your fellow companions who tread the same journey, and together we will weave a TAPESTRY OF BEAUTY in alignment with the perfect balance and harmony of nature herself.
This will be a complementary beauty, never destructive, always in appreciation of natural constellations and the needs of the natural world. Great artistic visions will be assisted so that their manifestation may create joy and secure peacefulness of spirit in the beholder.
Art will become a much wider concept and indeed more widespread than is your present custom. It will no longer remain on the fringes of your society. Nor will it serve some remote or egotistical purpose. It will become a central consideration in the development of any new building or creative project, whether large or small. Its purpose as a pivot of change and a method of evoking positive response in the viewer or listener will be of highest consideration. It will be impossible – inconceivable – to create ugliness or fear through the arts as they will always be accompanied by guiding positive intent. Clarity will be paramount. Manipulation – as in your present advertising system – will cease.
Thus we look forward to supporting you, oh children of light, colour and song, for you will embellish the experiences of the survivors into the new age, evoking joy, inspiring courage and providing solace. The golden age will begin characterised in ways which far surpass your present powers of imagination.
We rejoice in this, our mission to project new creative dimensions, to dispel the thick layers of dust which have dulled and distorted your ears and sight for so many centuries. We salute all those who are destined to take part in this, the explosion of creativity on Urantia. And so we take our leave, with fond affection and anticipation.
The Legion of Light for Artistic Advancement
Through Rosie, 13th October 2010
Rosie: Dearest Legion,
I find myself disorientated in the sort of no-man’s land we talked about the last time. Please give me if possible a hint as to which direction I should be taking in this jungle of information and possibilities, and in view of what lies ahead.
Legion: Dear Child, we are with you and seeking exactly the things you are seeking for yourself and your community and your earth. The powers that control your present destiny in this 3d existence are rapidly failing and the reins that they hold in their hands will soon fall limply to the ground. You are in a sort of vacuum where the soft sweet gentle new breeze has not yet started to blow.
Know that all will be well, and will develop as anticipated. All will surpass your present expectations and understanding. The feeling of being directionless is fitting in the sense that you are in tune with the sense of the times, the sense that something large which will cause permanent and monumental change will soon be upon you.
Do not creep into yourself at the prospect of this, but continue to spread calm hope and usher soft warnings of coming tides and developments to your fellow humans who will find themselves at such a loss when this all begins in earnest. Tell your children how your heart suffers at the suffering beyond the perimeters of their experience, how you yearn to contribute to ending that, how it is your purpose is to waken souls to new heights of awareness through all the talent to which you are privy.
Rosie: What about plans? There seem to be so many that I am being forced to make right now.
Legion: Whatever plans you make, they will be fluid like our own, but they will still – whether they materialise in this plane or another – be precursors of the future, and your criteria should be alignment with the purpose of the Source of all. If you doubt your decision, call on this authority, and know that this is the ultimate, the specific knowledge that will guide you and your planet to peace. This is where you reside and will reside until your purpose in this particular existence is complete. The great trial that lies before you is more in the patience of seeing how everything fits into place, rather than seeing the triumph of a quick regulation of deviant forces. Take note of this evolvement, for it is divine in nature. And so we leave you today and surround you with our love. The Legion
Through Rosie, 23rd October 2010
Seraphin: The desire to seek the light is inherent to your being, a never-ending search through many incarnations. The first thing you did when you awoke this morning, Beloved, was to put your feet on the ground with thanks to the earth which carries you, and then you went to the window, opened the curtains and let in the light.
This is your nature, and the nature of all who see, to gravitate towards light and energy. If you are walking through a busy shopping precinct and a street musician is singing, he will attract a crowd if his light is shining brightly. Perceive yourself as a glowing bauble moving through the darker realms. Rather than gravitating towards the energy of others and purely being on the receiving end, BE THE SOURCE. Yes, you have recognised that correctly: that is the most important sentence in this piece and also the title.
BE THE SOURCE OF LIGHT, PASSION, ENTHUSIASM, JOY, LAUGHTER, ENERGY, COURAGE, so that you in your turn will attract those who are unfulfilled, who seek to increase their vibrations so that they can eventually transform and act as a beacon themselves.
Attempting to persuade someone to embark on this journey, to change, to enter the song and dance of life will rarely be successful. Can you see the chain reaction here? It is by example that this can best be achieved. BE THE SOURCE.
Through Rosie, November 2nd, 2010
Seraphin: I will describe again the sort of scenario we are in. The complexity of the situation on this planet is extremely difficult for you to grasp at this time, irrespective of the information or disinformation to which you have access, as you are only in one particular location living one particular experience. This is the nature of your incarnation for a specific purpose.
But here we are talking about millions of people in varying circumstances, some of which are horrendous, some seemingly comfortable: some are indifferent, some living at the very edges of existence, some extremely unsettled, some dislocated, some alone, some inundated with disinformation, some simply unaware, some suspecting the worst, some suffering constant fear and disability in the physical as well as the spiritual and psychological realms.
To grasp, evaluate and make broad stroke executive decisions to encompass all this and ensure “positive” outcomes all round is an extremely difficult if not impossible undertaking, far beyond the stretches of your wildest imagination.
We have spoken of the image of the family watching television. The film they are watching is fascinating: they experience all the ups and downs, the excitement, the joy, the pain vicariously without being affected in a physical way. They identify completely with the characters in the film. They feel the emotions: inwardly they laugh, they cry with the instigators of the action. They suffer with those who suffer. They focus on the box which produces this experience.
Meanwhile, while sitting in comfortable chairs in front of this box, they do not realise that bombs may be falling outside, whether in the vicinity or in the next country. They do not notice when a storm is ripping the sky, or when a person dies in the next house or in the next country. They do not even notice necessarily when the walls of the room they are sitting in catch fire. The more they are entrenched in the film, the later they will notice.
They will not wake up, Beloved, TILL THE FIRE REACHES THEIR OWN SKIN, TILL THEY THEMSELVES ARE STRUCK BY LIGHTENING, TILL THEY THEMSELVES ARE SWEPT AWAY BY THE FLOODS.
Imagine 6 billion people sitting in front of “televisions” (and in this, television is a symbol for tunnel vision), riveted to a certain story, limited by a certain mind-set. Imagine taking all these “televisions” away in one single mighty action, as if by magic, by a mighty stroke of inexplicable fate, so that these 6 billion mindsets ALL CRUMBLE AT THE SAME TIME. Can you imagine the chaos, the devastation? Who will be able to adequately deal with the psychological consequences of such an act?
Would it not be more loving and effective for the personal development of every individual soul to receive individual attention in defined, safe surroundings? Would it not be more compassionate to press the “pause” button (by which I mean STASIS) so that the “televisions” can be turned off one by one?
The effect – for each individual person – will be no less devastating, but readjustment can take place more quickly if explanations can be personally provided in a “safe” setting. The potential for change would not be reduced by this not being a mass and more uncontrolled experience.
Search your souls and ask yourselves what is the compassionate alternative for your fellow men and women. Do not let your anger, your pain, your frustration, your knowledge of the matrix and its horrors now obscure your compassion.
Do not fall into the trap of regarding total chaos as a triumph over the dark side. For sudden revelations could produce exactly that total chaos – to which we would lose sensitive souls who might otherwise – in gentler circumstances – awaken to their starseed constitution and purpose.
To overwhelm is not always to get your message across. And so, I will leave you with this thought: What option would you chose if love and not impatience is the guiding factor? If you have the capacity (and here in our realm we have great capacities unbeknown to you) to take the “televisions” away ONE BY ONE?
What would be of most benefit to the planet you love so much? More chaos and destruction worldwide, or a universal pause, a period of reflection and non-action, where the huge psychological consequences of waking up from a powerful and despicable illusion can be dealt with in an appropriate and individual manner so that it can be better understood and transformed?
The most effective long-term transformation does not occur suddenly and it does not occur without understanding. It is a gradual dawning of new perspectives, a knowing resulting from personal experience or learning, after dealing with hidden or repressed emotions and healing pain, acknowledgement of deeply blocked emotions which lead to enlightened release of pristine energy, joy, creativity and determination to reconstruct your lives and that of your beloved planet, each according to your specific ability.
Therefore, I say welcome stasis as a solution. Welcome this opportunity to serve individuals, to propel the individual process, to accomplish the transformation of individuals, as is the aim of your project, for it is the transformation of individuals which effects the transformation of a world community.
In deepest respect and love, Seraphin.
Through Rosie, Nov. 3, 2010
Rosie: Seraphin, many people are presently in a state of intense anticipation, longing for the dark to be eradicated, waiting for “big changes” to occur, holding their breath, and asking when will all this manifest?
Seraphin: Yes, Beloved. They are focusing on the future which has not yet occurred (though on another plane it already has). And during this process they are holding their breath, preventing them from fully experiencing the NOW, breathing in the NOW deeply, with all its opportunities, digesting it fully and then letting it go by breathing out. Their breath is shallow and haphazard.
The question WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN? seems strange to us who are aware of eternity. This question can always be asked because eternity is always there.
Can you see the irony of this? Something always happens next. If you want to, you can spend eternity asking this question and wait. Or you can choose to purposely create within your present parameters, in the knowledge that your creative power can change these parameters. This is a creative journey, NOT A STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC JAM on the way to the ultimate celestial party, punctuated by the frustration of having to stop at a red light.
Some people have found their life partners while stuck in traffic jams, all because they got out of the car and started talking to the person behind them, instead of constantly looking forward and straining their eyes to see if the cars ahead are moving.
Such side-stepping experiences are inward movement, opening up new unexpected dimensions and opportunities. The soul is capable of travelling at a tremendous pace. And so, the question of “when” becomes irrelevant. When you live like this you are even disappointed when “when” arrives, as you have had such interesting encounters in the meantime. Now you have to break them off and get back into your car because the cars in front are moving.
So I say to you: time to get out and mingle and have a picnic with anyone around you. Make use of this golden opportunity, and all golden opportunities, to distribute mind-food to your fellow travellers, and to receive it. The party has already begun.
Through Rosie, 9th November 2010
Rosie: While I was lying down on the banks of the river, I heard a train whistling in the distance. What do you want to tell me about this, Seraphin?
Seraphin: There is no need to push the train of life through eternity towards the light. It will get there by itself. It has a destination and the tracks are set in stone, immoveable as it were. And the carriages are also a permanent feature, though some may be divided up or sent on other tracks to different places. With the right fuel and staff and divine guidance, the train can set off. Pushing the train from behind, or speaking your encouragement to the train, or cursing the train if it is later than advertised, will not actually have much effect on the pace of the journey. We can rant and complain, we can notice what is going on inside or outside the window at will. We can check our watches constantly, or we can read an engrossing book, or engage in conversation with our fellow passengers, change carriages if we want to avoid someone, change carriages again if the same person follows, confront the unpleasant feelings they may evoke, or move on again. Sometimes, we put up defences and remain in stony silence. Sometimes we fall into ecstasy because we meet a kindred spirit (All this time, the train is still running).
Sometimes, like in the overcrowded compartments (that you have experienced in China), it is impossible to avoid the proximity of others, in fact you can hardly move, but this is not the fault of the train itself, or those who allow the train to overfill, but more a consequence of your decision to board and how much luggage you drag with you.
How do you choose to travel? Lightly, with only a toothbrush (like some of the Chinese you have met), or slowly, loaded with extra baggage, an outfit for every occasion? What do you really need? Are you so conscious and convinced of your own powers, capabilities and resources that you are confident enough to travel alone, with nothing to fall back on except your own creativity, your own divinity?
The train is travelling with you on it, Beloveds. You cannot doubt or argue about the destination for you have chosen it. The only difference in your journeys is the way you experience it, the way you contribute to it, the way you reflect on it, the action you take during it. This we say to encourage you and to say that creative power and imagination are essential survival tools to be utilised during this adventure.
Rosie: Seraphin, could you please summarise more about the train allegory we have been speaking of, and continue that metaphor with relevance to our present situation?
Seraphin: Yes, Beloved. The train journey is a long one, and it is unique for every traveller. It is punctuated by stops, sojourns in familiar and unfamiliar places, yet always returning to the experience of the journey towards the light. It is as if you are now experiencing travel through a tunnel, and the tunnel is so long that you have almost forgotten what the light looks like, and you have forgotten what it is like to live in constant contact with that energy.
When you first entered the tunnel, it seemed to happen quickly, almost casually, without warning, and with time you got used to it, refrained from expressing surprise, worn down by time spent in darkness, afflicted by a faintness of memory. And so you came to expect this situation as the “norm”. Now, it is as if announcements have been made over a loudspeaker about the approximate time of arrival at your destination, despite several previous announcements about delays. Some of you are so engrossed in your book or conversation or film or mobile phone and so tired of hearing announcements about delays that you have switched off your hearing. You might sense the words of the announcement vaguely in the background but you do not effort to hear the exact words because you think there is no point to it. You are so accustomed to disappointment. Your attention is elsewhere and you do not string the words together to form meanings.
Those who actually understand the message may start to feel a bit excited about the thought of the destination actually coming nearer and nearer. Some may start to tidy up, go to the toilet, pack things away. Some may consult timetables or maps for the continuation of their journeys and notify their travelling companions. Aware that time is precious and limited, some may wind up conversations and exchange important telephone numbers before it is too late, before the jewels they have gleaned in the course of encounters with fellow travellers go to waste, so that contact can still be held despite going separate ways.
And when the train suddenly comes to a halt at the end of the tunnel, as forewarned, all those who have prepared themselves and who have anticipated the return to the light will rush out joyfully to embrace their next experience, whereas all those who have accustomed themselves to the darkness and have let their attention become completely diverted will receive a sudden shock. They will try to grab their belongings, perhaps leaving things behind in the ensuing chaos, in an attempt to get off the train in time. If they do manage this at all they will be dazed by the light, unaccustomed to its all-clarifying intensity. They will feel helpless and exposed.
Beloved, you have been thinking about the train stations in Cinque Terre, Italy, where you have been several times. Here the trains travel almost constantly through tunnels, and the stations are the only places where light prevails, in small narrow valleys between the mountains. Why do I refer to this? If you do not get off the train at a certain time, you will find yourself in another tunnel, presented with another experience of darkness.
This is, therefore, an admonishment to sharpen your minds while travelling through life’s experiences, to look beyond the cardboard cut-outs and silhouettes, to look beyond all that seems “normal” or “traditional” in structure. This critical appraisal will bode well in the days to come, for many things which appear “real” and “rock solid” will flow away like water.
You can hardly imagine how you have been deceived, or how you have been deceiving yourselves. The end of the journey, of this stage of the journey at least, is in sight, and it is your decision which fruits you shall bear and which knowledge you shall gain during its passage. We rejoice with you, we welcome your positive participation in this wondrous voyage towards the light.
