Duality
Carol, this is to reply to your recent forwarded email from a source that supposedly channeled the Angel Raphael.
Long ago I started asking three questions to assist me in determining authenticity in channeled material:
- Did I learn anything new?
- If the material was not new to me, did I learn it with a new or different point of view?
- What is the feeling tone of the presentation?
RA, of the Book of One, suggests that we are here in this dimension to develop Will and Discrimination.
The message you forwarded to me, purporting to have come from the Angel Raphael, is steeped in Duality and Adversary (an active form of Duality). This theme is what I want to address here.
Duality is not part of the Great Law, the Law of One. It is a relative law made up by us when we came here to experiment with reality creation and got a bit carried away. As children do, we must have been testing boundaries and tried to see if we could make a space of being where God was not. The result has been the appearance of oppositional pairs that stubbornly seem to persist.
Belief in the reality of these oppositional pairs may have begun as a great game but, due to the deeply hypnotic effect of the magic mirror that is the outer world, the game got too intense when we began to experience this not-reality as Real. The results have been that we got very frightened and, when we thought we had created in us a separation from God, believed God was angry with us and we turned ourselves out of the Garden.
In Truth, Duality persists because we keep seeing it and playing with it. Duality persists because we believe it does and we resist it. This opposition to Opposition is the meeting of the irresistible force and the immovable object. This dynamic is the essence of war, and in this case it describes not a war IN heaven, but a war WITH heaven.
It’s funny to think that, since we were already the Son, we then became the fallen Light.
The only way to win a war is to vacate the field of battle and choose to do something else a lot more rewarding.
Heaven is not a Place, but is a Space of Being. We live in our own personal heaven when we do, and we don’t live in heaven when we say so.
Duality being a resultant of misused Creative Power (given that Free Will and Creative Power is part and parcel of being made in the Image and Likeness of God), the good news is that since we made it up, we Will eventually unmake it and rejoin the One as fully developing Individualities.
The Angels, who hold themselves so lightly, do not live in a Reality that includes Duality or Adversary of any kind. They know (they have to know) that we believe in it, but they don’t have to and they don’t.
The point being, if a message includes the belief in two powers (‘good’ and ‘evil,’ for instance), then the message is most definitely NOT being sourced by any Light Being. With certainty, the source is the fear-based offering of a human hypnotized by fear.
By their fruits you shall know them.
