I have long wondered why we must experience suffering. How is it that such experiences make us stronger, wiser, and more interesting? Heartbreak, struggle, set-backs, upheavals, disappointments—most humans must come to terms with these types of events. Tears are shed, hearts emptied, eyes become opaque, frown-lines more pronounced. These trials and tribulations may cause a person to barricade the heart and mind from further anguish. Yet, if a person can adapt, process, and progress after such life events, if she can allow herself to be vulnerable again, that person has the opportunity to soar into happiness.

Perhaps, suffering makes living life more worthwhile because we can recognize and appreciate the bright, happy moments when they come. Perhaps. I must admit that I struggle with struggle. At times, I have resisted it, making it more pronounced. I have tried to distance myself from struggle, making it that much harder to accept when I have found myself embroiled in conflict yet again. I understand on a conceptual level that it is natural to wish to avoid struggle. And, I have even learned that facing struggle directly deflates its power over me.

Yet, there are times when I feel I cannot seize a piece of peace, when no matter what I do, life provides no rest for the weary. For all my high ideals, for the strides I have taken, the struggles I have endured, the heartbreak I have survived, sometimes, sometimes, it seems as if merely existing is onerous—an uphill battle where I try to pull myself up the precipice, hand over hand, grasping at the small indentations in life that may crumble at any given moment. As I stretch and groan, attempting to pull my heavy soul up toward some elusive peak, I look around and see others struggling just as painstakingly as I am—my comrades-in-arms, my spiritual brethren. As they continue to move, so do I, oh, so slowly. At those times, I focus on each moment—it is all that exists—each foot plodding forward, body swaying, hands clutching purposefully onward and upward.

I wonder as I struggle up life’s incline whether others sport painful blisters as I do, if they feel the fatigue as deeply as I do, if they try to catch every sweet breath while cursing each breath. Miraculously, as I strive to reach the summit, sometimes by walking uphill backwards or sideways since at those times it is too painful to stride forward, I am able to rest with groups of people on their own journeys—taking comfort in their understanding, understanding borne of their own, similar struggles. Towards the top I see people who not only reached their goals, but have returned down the mountain to cheer us on, me on, as we keep going, using inner reserves we knew not existed until that moment. And, so life becomes that much sweeter, more profound, more meaningful as we overcome whatever life throws at us. We feel a sense of accomplishment for not giving up. We feel pride for the hard-earned understanding that we have acquired, enabling us to make our way through this world. Our experiences create clarity by helping us to know just how precious life is. Our experiences provide us with an inherent understanding of other people and their struggles, bringing us closer to them. We connect. We are not alone. I can’t help wondering, though, wouldn’t it be more pleasant if all could connect through purely positive, joyful experiences?

I have realized that we struggle in order to expand. Such experiences cause us to stretch and grow, to step outside the comfort zone. As we do, we evolve. This process of spiritual expansion, of meeting challenges, of finding ways to survive (if not excel) creates new life patterns—new ways of living and viewing life—while releasing patterns that no longer serve us.

Not every struggle is a negative experience. In fact, some are wonderful opportunities to reaffirm our courage, strength, intellectual muscle, or ethical construct. We create these scenarios with the choice of rising to the challenge or giving up. Sometimes, we choose to walk away from the struggle because we feel unable or unwilling to stretch. Other times, we not only meet the challenge, but exceed our best expectations of success. Michelangelo said, “The greatest danger for most of us is not that we aim too high and we miss it, but we aim too low and reach it.” The pure joy when reaching that high aim is a thousand times more potent than the feeling of failure. So isn’t the knowledge that we dared to try, that we allowed ourselves to be so very vulnerable. Whether a person succeeds in a given endeavor or falls short, the measure becomes how much of herself she has applied toward the challenge, and her reaction to the outcome.

So, there is hope. As we experience these struggles, we have the opportunity to release patterns that no longer coincide with our desires. We create new ways of being—new beliefs, new actions, new thoughts. And, we learn from each experience, regardless of the outcome.

We’ve all heard the saying, “Nothing is certain in life but death and taxes.” Benjamin Franklin should have added change to that list. Isn’t it interesting how many people resist change? Some strive to live the same life day in and day out for comfort’s sake. How can one grow by living a monotonous life? I have begun to embrace change, and it is heartening to find that by doing so, struggle dissipates exponentially. But, no, I am not being entirely honest. Sometimes I do not embrace change. I am afraid of the unknown. I want to know what the next day will bring, to have the reassurance that only I will introduce a change into my life. Realistically, though, whether the change occurs through an external or internal force, it all stems from my reality and my choice. Consciously or subconsciously, I have given permission for the change to occur. Otherwise, I would not attract that change. With this in mind, I am learning that I do not need to know everything about my future to enjoy the experience.

In Our Town, Act III, Emily asks the Stage Manager, “Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it?—every, every minute?” No, we don’t. We do not gaze at everything and everyone around us and value all that life presents. Most do not make an emotional connection to the ordinary daily activities. Too many lack any sense of wonder at what passes before their eyes every day. We waste great opportunities, mostly due to not being present, not being in the moment. Or, we pull back from life because of fear. We look ahead and behind, not appreciating the moment at hand.

Some people fear change because they do not know what to expect. This prevents them from enjoying life. Is it absolutely necessary to know what lies ahead? I heard a great metaphor that goes like this:

Say you know that you are traveling from California to New York by car. You have your route mapped out. As you drive, you can only see so far up ahead, a few hundred feet at best. Since you cannot see the entire route while you travel it, you must have faith that as long as you stick to your plan, you’ll get to your destination.

Here’s my addition to the metaphor:

Now, wonder if there’s some construction occurring which detours your travel plans? You may decide to travel on a parallel route and intercept with the original route as soon as you can. Or, you might take that opportunity to change your route entirely. It depends on your comfort level for embracing change versus your motivation for reaching your planned goal.

What happens if you reach New York, only to find that you do not feel that sense of elation and completion once you arrive? Is this why the journey can be more important than the end result? Is this why stretching to realize life every, every minute may be a worthier goal? Because, if we are always looking toward the completion of our grandiose goals, we might miss some wonderful adventures along the way, don’t you think? We may be so focused that we do not allow ourselves to veer off the path, and through that constriction, we may unwittingly deprive ourselves of some wonderful opportunities. And, why do we do that? Why do we hold ourselves so closely to the plan? Do we fear the unexpected, the unknown, the unimagined? After all, what’s so bad about unanticipated situations—isn’t that why we are here? To experience life? The bottom line is that we create our realities. We create every positive and negative event in our lives. Therefore, if I do not absolutely believe that I will live the outcome I seek to attain, I will not. No matter what words I spout, it is the inner dialogue that creates my reality and forges my future. For each day, my reality is as luscious as my imagination.

FOUNDERS' NOTE:

"New levels of connections with et's”

by Christopher and Jeannine Jelm

We are departing from our usual communications and articles about the Lightarian energy work and spiritual growth, in general, to write about a specific topic that has long engaged, excited and inspired us….it’s about extraterrestrials (our space brothers and sisters from other planets, star systems and galaxies). In this article, we’ll focus on what we call the realms of the high-vibrational, spiritually-oriented ET’s…a topic which may be new for many folks. In this article we are not writing about ET’s embodied in the physical, UFO’s, etc. We know that these phenomenons are quite real; however, we have no direct experience with them so far. Our focus is about those ET’s who operate at an extremely high level of vibration and spiritual awareness, how they have been working in the background with Earth humanity for eons of time, and exactly how they are beginning to make new forms of etheric connections with humanity.

Most of us, especially those familiar with the Lightarian philosophies and understandings, have learned that Prime Creator, as well as the Godhead energies, Universal Source, the Ascended Masters and members of the Angelic Realm have all been working together to assist Gaia and humanity along their respective paths for spiritual development. From our perspective, we add the highly evolved ET’s as major supporters of humanity’s ascension process here on Earth. All of these aspects of Divine energy are working in harmony with each other, each contributing their specialized expertise…and these advanced ET’s are certainly playing a major support role in this process.

Before we talk about some new “connections” now being made between ET’s and humans, here is some background on “Extraterrestrials in the Etheric”, excerpted from our book, “New Humans, New Earth” published in 2000.

“Although they exist in etheric dimensions generally beyond human awareness, virtually all extraterrestrials are very much like humans. They operate with human-like consciousness, embody varying degrees of spiritual understanding, play out their "stuff" and learn along the way just like us. Some ETs are more spiritually advanced, while others are more grounded into the lower vibrational elements of power, control and ego (much like the differences you find among humans). Most ETs involved in Earth activities are highly spiritual and are committed to assisting humanity along its path toward transformation and enlightenment.

Over the long history of Earth, the ET's have exerted extraordinary influence on both humankind and Gaia herself. Many ET groups have participated in the planetary process virtually from the very formation of the physical planet and, even in a more pronounced way, as human consciousness was infused here. The vast majority of ET interaction has been benevolent, highly supportive and often essential to the evolution of life on Earth.”

Over the years, we [Jeannine and Christopher] have had etheric contacts with various ET cultures in the form of communications with both group aspects and individualized “personas” within these cultures. We, along with others, tend to name and “organize” these cultures by their celestial origins, based on their “home” planet, star or galaxy. The vibrational levels among the different ET cultures and even within a particular ET culture can vary widely. So, beginning about fifteen years ago (and expanding dramatically over the last few years), we have been making connections with a number of specific high-vibrational, spiritual ET groups. As examples, starting in the early 1990’s Christopher began connecting with members of what is often referred to as the Sirian-Arcturan Matrix and during the late 90’s, Jeannine began to channel energies from many ET cultures…Arcturan, Sirian, Pleiadian, Orion, Alpha-Centuran, Andromedan, Zetas, just to name a few. She has also been working with collaborative ET group energies that are formed as a number of cultures combine their energies.

Our more recent connections have been highly focused and purposeful. Rather than simply channeling these ET energies, we have been creating deep, resonant vibrational connections with them - primarily (but not exclusively) with four specific ET groups. They are the Arcturans, Sirians, Orions and Pleiadians.

The focus of these latest collaborations has been about adapting ourselves to the specific frequencies of these ET cultures – serving as part of a leading-edge preparation program (you could call it an experimental process). This is to eventually assist humanity, in general, in becoming more familiar and comfortable with the future role of ET’s here on Earth. The principle theme for this experimental process is to build “etheric resonance” with the ET energies, especially via brain wave pattern adjustments and nervous system modification. In other words, it is about extending the human “comfort zone” for interacting with ET’s in very direct energetic ways, not merely through educational or intellectual experiences. This process is about developing deep “etheric field preparation” at an intrinsic, core level. We’ve learned that typically the human Theta and Delta brain wave patterns will require extensive adaptation and acclimatizing in order to effectively interact in new, direct ways with most of the ET groups. This seems to be a slow process requiring frequent small energetic adjustments (you might call them mini-attunements), lengthy periods of integration and plenty of patience.

It is important to note that there are, of course, other humans going through this same process - others who have “volunteered” on some level of their Being to step forward to be a part of this leading-edge preparation program. Eventually, many others will step up to participate in this process. Based on our experience so far, it appears that only those who are truly physically, emotionally and spiritually ready (and who have given their “approval” at the highest levels) will be part of this process. As you discover the degree to which you are attracted to working with the ET’s, please remember that nothing is done without the explicit approval of your Higher Self energies.

Fundamentally, the creation of these new and different personal “connections” with ET groups represents a “seeding in” of one more dynamic change within humanity…a change designed to prepare us for welcoming, integrating and collaborating effectively with our extraterrestrial brothers and sisters during the exciting, coming times here on Earth.

A few years ago, Christopher began to have a sense of the progression of activities that will be developing as humans launch higher levels of collaboration with the ET’s. In an interesting way, the themes of etheric Connections and Collaboration with the ET’s lead Christopher to understand future developments in terms of five words that all begin with the letter “C”. Here they are for you to consider as a possible framework for the advancement of future ET interactions with humanity:

Communications – an enhanced sense of intuitive, channeled and/or direct communications will be developing for many, many people in the coming time.

Contact – For many, this will lead to extraordinary etheric contact and, for some, actual physical contact when it will be appropriate and purposeful to do so.

Cultural - Over time, contact will lead to cultural exchange, much the way countries or peoples have gotten to know each other in positive ways during Earth’s history.

Commercial – Eventually, some aspects of commercial activity will develop. As many of us already know, doing business together can sometimes be a natural outgrowth of getting to know another.

Constitutional – Ultimately, the basis will form for what we call “constitutional” engagement…represented by legal and political arrangements and institutions created between us and the ET’s…in the same way that different countries form alliances or join the United Nations.

Of course, these five stages of interactions and collaborations with the ET’s will evolve over an extended period of time. However, as with any process, you must start where you are at and create the necessary visions and commitments to stimulate the unfolding development that you seek.

Our long-term vision for humanity’s future with these supportive spiritual extraterrestrials is one of awareness-building, acceptance, integration and, ultimately, the five-phase collaboration described above. This process will be an elaborate, protracted one and certainly a necessary one to propel Earth humans into becoming “New Humans.” As we move along this path, Earth humanity will progressively step into its future, ascended role…finding its appropriate place as a higher-vibrational member in the order of celestial groups…which, of course, includes our divine ET friends.
