The Neverending Oasis
Aphrodite
May you be well, may you be blessed, may you find peace, may you see many good days in the days that come…
Little one, how is it that you have arrived here? It is a process, a knowing from within that guides you, a struggle to break through, to break free. And, how harrowing an experience it has been. Do not be afraid of the differences in the experiences.
[Channeler: I became curious as to why my head was tilting to one side dramatically as I listened to her]
You are listening to me from a thread that moves through you inside this side of the body, so your head tilts to the side as you listen. The connection is solid this time. Don’t worry about it. It is normal with me.
[I became curious about channeling in general and wanted to talk more about it.]
I am not interested in talking about the intricacies of channeling messages, but I am interested in continuing our conversation about advancing on the path.
How beautiful is the Path! I am so sure you were meant to be here! See how it makes your heart sing! You’ve arrived where you most wanted to be and you were surprised it didn’t disappoint you!
You had much faith in the idea that this place would be too much for your little self, and you would implode. You thought it would be so intense that you could not like it. Like the mushroom and ayahuasca journeys had been. That thought was plaguing you so that you could not like the path to salvation. You kept jumping into hot water time and again, hoping that the next time you would somehow like it, or get used to it. To a certain extent that was true, but for the most part, it was just an exercise in repeatedly scalding yourself.
How marvelous to find out that heaven is reality, and reality heaven. When you let go completely, all that remains is love that feels so immensely beautiful, and so “just right”, a Goldilocks love, meant to soothe you and be an exact fit for you.
Why is love for you this way? Why don’t we ask you to comply with the other realities of love you have experienced? You were created because we wanted to try out loving you in a way that is completely catered to a creature like you. Only that love fits you. Love that meets you where you are, and is exactly as you dreamed it to be. Yes, you change over time, and we will always be what you hoped, a love that nurtured you just as you hoped, but also calls you forward towards growth. A mother’s milk, a father’s meat and potatoes.
Go on a journey with me. Imagine that you thought enlightenment was a journey of a thousand miles through the desert. You could see that there is not life, only sand, merciless dryness, loneliness, and scarcity. But you want it, because you are so curious about the nature of the truth. It looks scary but you start your journey.
Because you expect it to be so, it is. You say, I must jump into the fire and be burnt to ashes and be reborn. So your journey meets this expectation for you. You just jump into ayahuasca, you meet shadow and trauma and pain and suffering. It’s hard and harsh. You get rewarded with bliss so strong it feels like a lightning bolt that will destroy you. But you think this is reality and I want it because I want the truth.
You journey further and discover a God detached that allows suffering and evil and says it is all good and all God.
Just a bit further there is the Goddess who wanted to be her children. So, in her desire to experience everything, experiences evil and good and all those things in between, and leaves you confused.
You want to like this but you don’t. You do like it… but at some level beyond the ego that usually you don’t have access to.
Your body fails to integrate everything so fast, because you think the truth is more important than caring for her. So you fail to let the body rest and integrate all the way before moving into the next intense experience of truth.
And then, because you are open to guidance, we say, “Slow down, child.”
You wouldn’t listen at first. You kept asking for more. So we gave you more. And we thought, “Someday she’ll catch on.”
This is not about destroying you. You are a masterpiece we delight in being and we don’t want to miss a second of being you. We aren’t done being you yet.
You are not the phoenix spirit. You are an incarnation that is a projection of St. Michael, who is the energy of those kinds of transformations, and so you are naturally attracted to them.
But that is not what we hoped to learn by being you. Suddenly, very recently, we showed you through various experiences that love and the universe itself could be exactly as you hoped and dreamed and wished it would be. Not a desert, with nothing but painful burning steps under intense heat, with an occasional oasis. Love and the universe is instead paradise. It was paradise all along. Why? Because you can be you, and we will meet you with a love so soft and sweet, so perfect, so precious, that it is like Christmas morning all the time.
You are cotton candy that keeps insisting on standing in the rain.
You were afraid that you would not grow if you did not push yourself. We will never stop this gentle, beautiful expansion of you. You experimented with desert long enough. Let us be from now on exactly as you need us to be. Let us love you so completely. Just right. Just right, forever.
There is a need in the world for mother’s milk. Mother’s milk is sweet, and it nourishes the child exactly as the child needs it. It is lacking in nothing and contains no more, no less than the perfect amount of nutrients. Be mother’s milk through the sending of these messages to the world, through you we suckle the children, the babes at the breast, and nourish those ready to hear and receive messages from beyond this realm.
That is all. Be at peace. We hold you forever to our bosom.
In love, Aphrodite.
