Dear Lightarian Teacher/Practitioner,

Most of us around the globe are preparing to celebrate important spiritual, religious and cultural holidays, including the transition into the New Year... which seems to impact on just about all of us in powerful ways. In the true spirit of spiritual and global well-wishing, all of us at the Lightarian Institute extend our greetings to you for a joyous holiday season and a prosperous New Year...of course...all in the Light! Thank you for being part of the growing Lightarian global family.

Love and Light,

WELCOMING JANET BURGART TO OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

We have recently welcomed our dear and dedicated Lightarian friend, Janet Burgart, to the Board of Directors of the Institute. Janet was been our untiring Webmaster for almost three years and has supported the anchoring in and the expansion of the Institute by the devoted application of her time and talent to further the Light via the Lightarian work. She now takes on the role of Vice-President for the Institute and we are pleased to have her as a more official part of our staff. As we enter the new year, Janet will be taking on some immediate new duties regarding our On-Line Teachers' Directory and our supplying of Training Manuals to registered teachers. As some of our administrative work shifts to Janet during January and February, we'll give you complete details in order to create a smooth transition. Janet lives in Pleasant View, Tennessee, USA and operates her own website design business called Basic Page, a name you have probably seen many times when you have visited our website.

CELESTIAL PATIENCE, HUMAN IMPATIENCE
by Christopher and Jeannine Marie Jelm, co-founders of the Lightarian Institute

Over the years, through our intuition and channeling work, we have been establishing connections and creating ongoing communications with the celestial realms. These connections with the Angelic Kingdom and the Ascended Masters have served as a foundation for our new book entitled NEW HUMANS, NEW EARTH and the many articles that you may have read. One of the most significant characteristics about these communications is that they all seem to arise from a space of profound patience! Obviously, we have drawn a dramatic comparison between these experiences with the Angels and the Masters and that which we have personally experienced and observed with other Lightworkers, in general...namely, the experience of profound impatience!

The members of the celestial realms with whom we interact just seem to have a "bigger picture" of the human experience here on Earth than we do. We think that this bigger picture provides a broader perspective than we can hope for at this vibrational level, and generates that sense of vision, wisdom and patience that we feel from them. From our celestial connections, we are always attempting to piece together our best "bigger picture" of what is happening here, so that we can refine and expand our own levels of vision and wisdom...and hopefully develop the patience for our personal spiritual process that often seems so illusive to many of us.

We have written before about The Grand Celestial Plan that is unfolding for Earth Gaia and humanity. One aspect of this plan gives us some insight as to Gaia's transition and its impact on our solar system, our galaxy and beyond. The following imagery about the "big picture" has helped us to better understand that Earth humanity’s evolutionary process is a small but essential part of a truly universal spiritual transformation.

During a meditation, we received a beautiful image of what is happening now. Imagine that you are looking down at a smooth pond and you drop a pebble into it. You will notice that the rippling waves created by the pebble hitting the water eventually diminish in height as they radiate outward. Now imagine the reverse, where you drop the pebble in and the ripples would increase in height as they move outward. So too, as we transform ourselves into a new higher vibrational human species and as Earth Gaia makes her transition into a higher vibrational state of being, imagine that these shifts will trigger an ever-growing "wave of transformation". This expanding wave, ever-increasing in magnitude, will propagate outward to profoundly influence our solar system, our galaxy and the universe! Just as so many of us think that we are spiritually "returning home", imagine the entire universe being stimulated to return home to Source...based on what happens here on planet Earth!

So, the building of awareness, clarity, love and non-judgment within Earth humanity will support Gaia’s transformation, thereby triggering energetic ripples which will have far-reaching impact upon the rest of the universe. Is it any wonder that, on so many levels, Lightworkers feel a sense of urgency and often slip into impatience and frustration with the process? Obviously, in general, the members of the celestial realms can handle the situation better than we can...based on their expanded awareness of what’s happening and their enhanced abilities to embody clarity, love and non-judgment at their higher vibrational levels.

So, what are we humans to do about our feelings of impatience with the spiritual process? The message is "move to a higher vibrational place" in how we think, feel and act in our day-to-day lives. Personally, just keep expanding your understanding of your place in the grand scheme of things and simply watch the frustration and impatience dissolve away. You will find yourself more clearly and effectively participating in the personal and planetary transformation that’s occurring here! And you’ll essentially be operating more and more like a member of the celestial realms...patiently supporting this profound process from a space of higher vibrational clarity and mastery!

 AN ADMINISTRATIVE REMINDER - A COPY OF YOUR STUDENT'S CERTIFICATE IS NO LONGER REQUIRED WHEN YOU SEND IN HIS/HER REGISTRATION FORM

About six months ago we sent out a notice to Teachers that a copy of the Certificate (the one you send to your student upon completion of his/her training) was no longer needed by us back here at the Institute. All that is needed is the signed Acknowledgment (Registration) Form to have your student properly registered with the Institute. As we update our training manuals, we are following through on including this change in procedure; however, some manuals are not yet updated. So, this is just a reminder for you to avoid confusion and any unnecessary work on your part. When you complete a training, here are the steps:

1. It is recommended that you send your student an appropriate Certificate.
    
2. The student fills out, signs and returns the Acknowledgment (Registration) Form to you.
    
3. You sign and complete the Teacher’s Section of the Acknowledgment Form and mail it back to the Lightarian Institute for proper registration.

It's that simple!

ONE FINAL REMINDER - Since e-mail is our principle way of communicating with you, please promptly let us know of any change in your e-mail address. Also, if any of your students (who are already registered with the Lightarian Institute) have recently gotten e-mail and we may not know about it yet, please forward this message to them and ask them to advise us of their new e-mail address.

Best regards in the Light...and Happy Holidays!
Christopher and Jeannine Jelm....The Lightarian Institute
