Greetings, my dear beloved friends!

Ah, I am the one that many of you know as Mother Mary. Oh yes, in that lifetime two thousand years ago I had the incredible honor of giving birth to your son, to the one you knew then as Jeshua Ben Joseph, the one who carried the essence, the consciousness, of so many of you. The one who came to plant a seed that is now—oh, it is no longer just sprouting. It is exploding! The Fruit of the Rose it has been called, or simply The Rose. Oh, the seed has come to life within each one of you!

John feels so much emotion when he feels me, especially when I come in this close. And indeed, this is a collaboration between Master John and myself, and dear Jeshua and so many other Grand Ascended Masters. Oh, so many are present here, helping to put together this course.

Ha! This message is a bit of a surprise for John, for he thought there were only seven messages before we pause for the questions and answers.

Oh, he’s been working so hard to get the website ready and to understand the software necessary to host the course, and to charge money for the course. But as he channels this right now it’s almost ready, and the course will go live very soon, within a very few days. And ever since we channeled the introduction a few days ago, John has been feeling me saying, “There needs to be one more lesson!”

Hmm…

So here we are with Lesson 8, and we’ll call it simply, Real Creating.

Ahh… By now we’ve talked a great deal—Master John has, dear Jeshua has, even the dragon, and all of us have been part of these discussions. We’ve talked a great deal about the nature of reality.

You see, the human sees reality through its human eyes. It looks at the illusion and it thinks it is real, but in fact it is an illusion. It is a game.

And as you and your soul blend together—for you see, you and your soul are one and the same. But in order to have the full human experience you created this—you call it the veil—this feeling of separation between you and your soul, so that you could come fully into this human illusion. So that you could truly believe the illusion and have the experience, without being distracted by real reality. But now, as you come to the completion of your journey, to the top or highest level of your game, as Master John put it, it is time to take that veil away. It is time for Soul and Human to blend back together.

Oh, you think it’s just the human coming home? No, what is happening right now is so much bigger than that!

Yes indeed, the human, in a way, is coming back home to Soul. But in another way, Soul is coming here! Soul is blending into the human! For the first time in all of your existence, Soul gets to come in and feel this incredible creation of human life first hand.

You see, always Soul has stayed in the background so it wouldn’t distract you, and so it wouldn’t blow out your mind. Oh, it gathered the wisdom from your experiences and it brings that to you now, but it has always stayed back so you could have the full experience.

But that is over now! You have had all the experiences on Earth that you need to have. You have come to the completion of your journey. You have discovered the answer to the grand question of, who am I? You have discovered the answer to the question of, how does consciousness and energy work?

Hmm…

And here you are. You have become aware of your own I Am, the essence of you that is simple, pure awareness and nothing more. That is what you are at your core.

Oh, when you asked that question you created this energy all around you.

Those words don’t really work, but they are the closest we have so we’ll go with the metaphor. You created this energy all around you. It’s all yours and it is all serving you. It’s like the screen of your imagination, and whatever you are aware of is what shows up there.

Every being, every thing, every circumstance in your life, is all simply created on this screen, this virtual reality screen, because that is what you are aware of. Indeed, the people in your life and all of these things, they seem like they are outside of you, but they are really part of you. They are inside of you, of the real you. Even this human and its amazing body is all a projection onto this screen of your own imagination.

Mmm…

We love the metaphor of the caterpillar becoming the butterfly. It’s actually a very limited metaphor compared to what you are doing, but it is a beautiful metaphor, nonetheless. The caterpillar spends its whole life crawling along the branches of the trees, eating the leaves, chewing away, until one day something happens inside, and the caterpillar finds itself spinning the cocoon or creating the chrysalis. And it hangs there on the branch and it dissolves into a puddle of goo.

Oh, it’s still alive, and in this respect it actually has a big advantage over what you are doing. Because, well, you don’t have the luxury of a cocoon to hide inside of while you dissolve into goo and then reform into the butterfly! Or into the Divine Master.

For you see, that is what you are becoming: the Divine Master. And as the Divine Master, as the fully conscious soul living in this body on Earth, oh, life just doesn’t work the way that it used to work for you, any more than life for the butterfly works the way it worked for the caterpillar.

The butterfly comes out of the cocoon and it sits there on the branch for a while, trying to figure out what happened. It sees a leaf and it tries to eat it, but it doesn’t have any teeth anymore. It just has this big long thing that pops out of its mouth. It tries to crawl along the branch toward another leaf, and it doesn’t work so well. And suddenly these big things on its back start flapping and it finds itself up in the air.

Oh, you know about that. You’ve suddenly found yourself suspended in the air over the void, metaphorically, wondering when you’re going to crash on those rocks at the bottom, and then suddenly everything changes. Suddenly the butterfly discovers this bright colorful thing, and it lands on it, and that tongue pops out, goes down inside the flower, and discovers the most incredible nectar there.

Hmm…

If you are here, dear friend, you have already had some of those experiences where you find that life suddenly doesn’t make any sense at all, and then something brand new pops in and thrills you.

“Ah,” some of you are going, “But I’ve had a lot more things I didn’t like pop in!”

Well, I’ll ask you to take a deep breath and open up. Come back into your pure, simple awareness. For dear friend, you are the Divine Master. You are still learning what that means, but you are already the Divine Master.

Oh, you look around at the world with all its chaos and wars happening. Oh, so many different points of view! All the many different sides! They are all just power games.

You see, this game that you created, for so long it was based on power. Power over others. Power over yourself. Power over the things of life.

The human creates by pushing things around. You cut down trees, you dig metal out of the ground, you cut the trees into boards and you nail them together with hammers. You melt the metal and refine it, shape it, and weld it together with fire. It is all about power and force, because that is how the human game was set up.

But you see, it is all an illusion. Especially the power!

You have no power over anyone else, nor can you ever have power over someone else. You can play with the illusion if you want to, but it always ultimately breaks down. It is only a belief system, and the other person has to believe in your power in order for you to have any power over them. It’s not power, it’s just an idea.

So, all over the world, as people are beginning to wake up they are discovering that power doesn’t work anymore. They are discovering that they are losing their power over others and even over themselves, and that they no longer need to submit to the power of anyone else. And so, those with power are trying to hold on. They are grasping for more power. They are fighting. They are trying to hold onto their power, and it’s not working.

And that is what is happening in the world. Power is falling apart, because humanity is beginning to realize that it always was an illusion.

You see, you have no access to any other being, or to their creation, besides what they choose to share with you. And they have no access to you or yours. But you have this illusion painted onto the screen of your imagination of someone real, and those illusions, those avatars, most of them are based on a real being out there who also has an avatar of you in their imagination. But you have no power over each other.

You can pretend that you do. If you believe they have power over you, and if you submit to that power, well, then it seems like they do. But it is just a belief. It is an illusion!

Every one of you are sovereign, omnipotent creators. How could anyone ever have power over you? They can’t. It’s just a game that you’ve been playing, and now it is time to see through the game. Oh, it has been an amazing game! A wonderful, sensual game that has helped you discover who you are.

But your mind looks around and thinks, “I have no idea who I am!”

Well, we will ask you to step back just a little bit. Look at your life. Look at the world around you. Look at the people in your world. Every bit of that is a part of who you are! Because it is all inside of your imagination.

Hmm…

That is why we keep saying, come back to that pure, simple awareness.

Just look around you. Look at what you have created! Every bit of it, you have created it. And more than that, it is all part of you.

Every single person that touches your life is actually a part of you. The part that touches your life, anyway, is part of you. It is an avatar you created in order to experience a part of yourself. It is influenced by the song of the other being, the communication from the other being, but it is really you.

So, as humans begin to wake up, they begin to realize that they are not just a human, that there is something more to them, and they begin to realize that they are the creator of their lives. And immediately, they try to create their lives from the human perspective, and it doesn’t work.

Hmm…

The mind, as Master John said, is the great anti-creator, and nothing could be closer to the truth. For you see, all the human mind knows how to do is to push things around, to use power. But every time you push on something it pushes back. Every time you use power, that power ultimately comes back on you, one way or another. You usually don’t notice, because it comes back in different ways, but it always comes back.

If you take power over someone, somebody is going to take power over you. If you take power over the things in your life—for example, if you are tired of your car breaking down and you say, “I want a new car,” then your car might break down again and you don’t have any money for a new car, because that is how it works. If you push there is always a push back, and the more aware you become of being a creator, the quicker and stronger is the pushback.

So, humans get very frustrated when they first discover that they are the creators of their lives, because they try to do it in the human way and it doesn’t work. They say, “Oh, I want a new house, so I’m setting my intention to have that new house!”

What they are really saying is, “I am not happy with what I have right now.” And because that is where their awareness truly is, not on the new house, but on the fact that they don’t have it, that is what continues to exist in their life. Because life becomes whatever it is that you are aware of.

Oh, if you could suddenly be aware of that new house, of living in that new house and how good it feels, then it would be there. It can’t help it.

And the mind goes, “Oh good, let me let me just think about that really, really hard!” And it doesn’t work.

For so many of you, your body feels like it is falling apart. And indeed it is, because it’s going through this incredible transformation. And you say, “If only I could just imagine my body being healthy again!” But it just keeps on hurting, because that is what you are aware of.

Often John thinks, “It would make life so much easily easier if I could just teleport my body somewhere, if I could just imagine where I want to be in any moment and be there.” Well indeed, you can! Except it doesn’t work quite that way. It doesn’t work from the mind, and the mind has no power over the I Am.

Oh, that’s a big one. Your mind has no power over the I Am of you! None whatsoever.

Your mind has no control over the I Am. The mind doesn’t get to tell the I Am, “Just imagine this for me, okay?” No, it doesn’t work that way. Usually the opposite happens, or something different.

Something we showed John, several years ago, is that when you come into your enlightenment, your realization, the main thing that means from the human perspective is that you lose control. You lose your power, and that means you lose control over everything in your life, including yourself and your body. You lose control, because power is an illusion.

Soul has no power. Divinity has no power. Oh, humans have imagined this God up in the sky somewhere that is all powerful. You imagine creation as, you simply speak the words and it bursts into being.

Well, that has never worked. It has never been real. It is human imagination and human distortion. It is part of the game. It is not real.

But nevertheless, you are a creator. And you are a very—oh, we were going to say a very powerful creator, but it is not power. Perhaps we could say a very proficient creator.

Hmm…

Just look around at your life. Everything you see, everything you feel, everything you experience, you created it! Nobody else did.

Oh, it looks like other people did, but it was you. They are the illusion. It was you. Every bit of it, without exception, is your creation!

The mind goes, “Oh, how can I change it then?”

Dear mind, you can’t.

But what you can do, is to be present in it.

You see, you have created this incredible reality for yourself, but you are very rarely actually in it. You are usually off in the future somewhere trying to recreate it, trying to make it different, instead of being IN your creation. Or to say it another way, instead of simply being aware of your creation. You blame it on everyone else, instead of simply recognizing it, seeing it, being aware of it, as your own creation.

So, real creation is not about power. It is not about changing things. It is not about pushing things around. It is not about fixing things. It is not about replacing what is there with something you’d rather have. It is not about any of that.

Oh, those things will happen, when you open up and be present with what you have already created. But it will not be because you intended it. It will not be because you the human imagined it. It will be because you finally let go of control, because you finally said, “Dear soul, you know what makes me happy. Just take care of my life.”

Mmm…

When Soul hears that, it gets very happy! Because it means the human is finally letting go. It means the human is finally opening up.

Oh, the human has spent so much of its existence struggling with life, struggling to try to get its life under control, struggling to try to fix everything that doesn’t feel right. For the most part, it just recreates the same things over and over again, and it often makes things feel worse. Until the human finally throws in the towel and says:

No more! I am not going to struggle with this anymore! I am turning it all over to Soul! I am just going to be here with life, in life, with my creation, with what I have already created. I am just going to be present in it. I am going to let my soul handle the future. I am going to let go of my agendas. My soul knows what makes me happy, it knows what serves me the best, and when I simply allow it, when I come back into my simple, pure awareness, when I come back into my simple, pure presence, then Soul can take care of everything.

And dear friend, that is when creation changes. Up until now you have simply been, mostly, just recreating the same old thing over and over again. When you finally let go, oh, that makes space for new things to come into your life!

Well, you have to be willing to let them come in, for the mind doesn’t like new things. It thinks it does, but it really doesn’t. They scare it, because it doesn’t know what is going to happen with new things in your life. As you open up and allow the new to come in, oh, you are going to be amazed!

Be present. That is another way of saying, be in your simple, pure awareness.

Being present is not about the past or the future. It is about being in your presence in your creation.

You look at the world and it’s tempting to get caught up in all those power games, or in deciding which are good and which are bad.

Oh, let it go! Be present. Be in your presence, because that presence is your light.

You think of this light as something that you have to turn on. No, just be in your presence. The presence itself is your light.

Presence has no agenda. It has no direction. It has no focus. It is simply presence.

Oh, it is the brightest and clearest light that ever existed! And that, dear friend, is what will bring resolution and closure to all the power games in the world, and especially to the power games in your own life.

Because, everywhere you see a power game out there, it is actually happening inside of you. It is a power game with yourself! And as a wise man once told you, a house divided against itself cannot stand.

Once again, do not try to fix the power games, including inside yourself. Just be in presence, and they will take care of themselves. Because power cannot exist in the light. It simply can’t!

Power can only exist in the presence of other power. When you push against something, it pushes back. That’s how it works.

Presence has no push, none whatsoever, and so there is nothing for power to push against. And so it simply disappears.

Look at the power games on your planet right now. So many people pushing against so many other people!

Hmm…

John saw a news program last night. Some reporter was so angry, so passionate, about all the people who are lying about something or other having to do with the war in Ukraine. Well, that’s power, and it simply feeds power. She is actually helping to feed the destruction that is happening, because she is trying so hard to stop. It actually feeds it, because it is power against power, and the stronger you push the stronger it pushes back.

So dear creator, come back to your presence. Simple, pure presence, within your own creation.

Then there won’t be anything for power to push against within your creation, and it will fade away. And as it fades out of your creation that light radiates out to others, and they start to step back and come into their presence, and suddenly they are not pushing so hard so the power begins to fall away there too.

And one day, you will find this is a very different world to live in, because power simply doesn’t work anymore. It is hard for the human to imagine, but that day is coming, dear friend. It is coming!

[background music begins]

So, I ask you now, to come into your presence.

Call it presence or call it awareness, it is the same thing.

Call it consciousness. It is all the same. It is who you are.

You are simply presence.

Come back to that.

Be present here.

Again, it is not about the past or the future.

Simply presence.

Feel your presence.

.

Oh yes, there is a feeling to your presence.

You feel the presence of others when they come around you.

Feel your own presence.

.

You might even feel it coming in as though it were something outside of you, but it is really just you.

Just allow it.

Allow that presence of you into your life, into your awareness.

Don’t get caught up in the words.

Just allow your presence.

.

We’ll take a few minutes here.

We invite you to just be in your presence.

[pause to just be in your presence for a few minutes]

.

.

.

Presence.

.

Feel it.

.

Remember, if it’s in words it is your mind.

.

Just be in presence.

.

.

Simple, pure presence.

.

So many of you have had experiences of Divine Presence, of some presence that you knew was beyond you, beyond the human.

It gave you comfort, and maybe even some new perspectives.

You know what it feels like.

You thought it was something outside of you, but dear friend, it was you.

It was your own soul, your own divine essence.

Your own divine presence.

Allow it in, right now.

.

You won’t find it in the same place, usually, because the veil is mostly gone.

It is no longer outside of you.

It is you.

.

.

If the mind says, “Oh, I don’t feel anything,” let that go.

You do.

It’s just not fitting into your mind, so let the words go.

Just feel.

.

You might feel a sensation in your body, a sensation of presence. Or you might not.

It is still here, dear friend.

Your soul, your presence, is right here.

It is not out there somewhere.

It is right here.

.

Be in your presence.

.

If your body hurts, bring it into your presence.

Not to fix it, simply to be in presence.

.

Be in presence with the pain.

.

You are going through a very, very intense process right now. A very difficult process.

Your body is changing so much, and it is going to hurt.

You could turn off that pain at any moment. Your mind actually knows how to do that, because it is the mind that creates the pain.

But dear friend, you wanted to go through this process in full consciousness, so you chose not to turn off the pain.

You chose not to turn off any of the sensations, so be in presence with them.

Be in presence with the pain.

.

Oh, it is serving you, and there are good reasons why you made those choices.

.

You see, you didn’t want to do this process halfway. You didn’t want to ever have to do it again.

You wanted to feel it, so be in presence with the feeling.

It won’t be there forever, so be in presence with it while it is here.

.

It is the same thing with everything else in your life.

If there is something in your life that you don’t like, be in presence with it.

Stop trying to fix it or change it.

Simply be in presence with it.

It will change when it is ready. Or rather, when you are ready. And dear friend, you cannot change that timing in your mind.

The only thing you can do right now is allow yourself to be in presence, especially with you.

With every part of you, with every part of your creation. Which, of course, means everything in your life.

.

Take a deep breath.

Be in presence with you.

.

Be in presence.

.

And so it is.

.

[we recommend a few more minutes to just be in your own presence]
