Channeling through Ellaeenah:

Jade Fire

Good evening, my beloveds.

You talk of dying and living and sharing and taking? But what is it to die? Even those sitting amongst you who strongly state that I have no fear of death, do not tell the complete truth; not because you wish to lie but because you do not know your fear. Fear of death is the most latent, deep, common fear to each and every living soul…not only human. As soon as the soul assimilates its energies from its plant existence, its next existence brings in fear of death.

Plants are the only living beings that do not have the instinct to survive. They neither need to live nor do they need to die and it is because there is no need to live that they thrive even in a desert. You may think you need to water your garden, to fertilize your plant, but who does that on a mountain top? Who fertilizes the forest? No one! They survive; in fact, they thrive even more than when you water your plant, because when you water your plant, in your eagerness that the plant should grow and live, which is your own instinct for survival, you tend to water it more, and you sometimes drown the plant. So plants have no instinct of survival, but after that every living form has the instinct to survive.

Now question yourself: you have been insect and fish and bird and animal and human, and through all these millions of existences there has been one common energy strand: instinct to survive. That is why it is the strongest of all instincts. The father who runs into a burning building and comes out unscathed, with his child in his arms, has used his instinct for survival. No Master, no other Power besides his own, has helped him, and he draws upon that Power because of the instinct to survive. And because, for every mother and father, the child is ‘YOU’, if the child dies, you die. (To Diana) Can you see why it is so difficult? It is not that she has to forget her child; she has to let go of the fear of her own death through the child. If she accepts he is dead, she then must accept that she is too, because the child is part of her…. part of every parent sitting here.

So though you may truly, consciously feel, I do not fear death, you do. It is part of your structure. It is what you have evolved with, and though you have evolved and your energies have grown and expanded, this energy strand has remained constant. So how do you prepare yourself to die? You see, child, if you prepare yourself to die, then whether death comes calling, or all of a sudden, you are in a state of Complete Joy and Acceptance.

There is not one amongst you who knows when he will die. Tonight? Does that make you feel a little apprehensive? Tonight? Have I lived completely? Have all my dreams been fulfilled? Even the oldest amongst you. I wish to see my grandchildren grow. I wish to see my child happy and settled. I have so much more to do. I have not sorted out this disharmonious relationship. I cannot die tonight. I have so much more to live for. Don’t make it tonight. Give me one more month. And yet is that one month enough?

But the irony is that when death comes calling and gives you the time…. for example, a doctor tells you, you have 6 months to live, those 6 months are fuller than the 60 years of life because you are preparing to die and in your preparation to die, you begin to LIVE. You do not merely survive and exist, you begin to LIVE. Then in those 6 months, the maid who comes in late and tries your patience every morning, is a joy to greet because you have awakened today to find that your maid is late. Then life’s irritations become life’s joys, because in their irritation, you know you LIVE. You ARE! Then when you hear another word of anger from her, there is a joyousness: I am alive to hear it. One more day I can experience a human emotion. I am alive! This is to Live.

Each one of you, give yourselves a time. Be your own doctors today and give yourselves 3 months, 6 months, 8 months, whatever you wish, but do not make it very long. If it is 8 years you will say, “I have time”. Give yourself a short time to live. We can here someone saying, “But what if I manifest it?” (laughter) You will not manifest it, dear one,  because you are doing this as an exercise in LIVING, not in dying. But in that 3 months, (if you should give yourself 3 months) it must be that focal point. I am to die in 3 months. What must I attain so that at that end, my life is ful…., that I have attained it ALL? But then he says, “In 3 months, my children will not have grown?” Ah! But in 3 months, the joy that you get from your children, you will not get even if you are an 80 year old man. Then your son’s tantrums will not be annoying to you, because in his moment of tantrums, you will embrace him and say Let Us Love. And when your daughter demands your attention and asks you for things you cannot give, you will question, “Three months? Is this something I need to fight with her for? Does it really matter?” In those 3 months, you will give your child all that you have wanted to give. You will teach her all that you have ever wanted her to know.

It is because of this hazy, not knowing when death will strike, that you begin to stop living because the instinct to survive deceives you into making you believe that death will not come to your door so quick. ‘I am young…. surely death will not come.” “I have so much work to do for the Masters….surely they will not take me away now.” How you play games with yourself? Whoever has said that the Masters work must only be done and can only be done when you are alive? Has any Master told any of you that? We have said that you will heal, but had we said that you will heal only as log as you are breathing and are alive? Think over that.

To prepare to die is one of the most joyous experiences of life because the first step of preparation is acceptance that death is at my door. And when one looks up at that face of Death, and sees only Joy and Love, that old soul strand of fear of death is transmuted forever. And you have all come to that stage when now you can consciously, willingly and deliberately look at death. But not in the attempt to escape what you have to experience. Welcome Death. Tell Death, “I give you 3 months before you and I can walk away from this realm… Joyously come for me…. I will be ready.” There will be times in those 3 months where there will be a slight fear, “Will I really die? Will I finish all that I desire to? But I wish to see Earth as it evolves. I want to be alive.” Initially all these thoughts will cross your mind and they must because in their release, you are releasing your fear of death. So let them come up… and then there will be a day when you will say, “I have a short time; 24 hours a day is too short. I cannot waste a moment. Every moment I must embrace my child. Every moment I must share and give. Every moment I must breathe and experience all that this world has to offer me. Every moment I must see something new and joyous. Every moment that I work has to be work of splendor. I must attain”. After 3 months, you will have learnt to Live. After those 3 months, you will never question when death is to come, because you are in a state of Joy. For the first time you will have greeted LIFE.

Yes, LIFE is filled with its battles. Yes, life is filled with its conflicts and disharmonies and irritations and annoyances; but yes, LIFE is filled with joy and fun and laughter and growth and enjoyment and thrill and excitement.

At the end of each day, as your head touches your pillow, ask yourself but one question: today did I focus on the thrill of LIVING or on its battlefields? And if you focused on its battlefield, that’s one less day of LIFE. You only breathed through these hours, you did not live. Accept all that comes your way… but first accept that you are human. When you accept that you are human, you accept and KNOW that you are Divine. But when you wish to fight your humanness, when you work so hard to run away from the very ‘human’ being that you are, you never attain your divinity. So you are in a moment of anger; let that moment pass. Do not breathe in and out, in and out, several hours of anger after that…. because what you breathe in 3 hours after that is the memory; the experience is already dead and you have carried 3 hours of an extra burden.

Every moment LIVE. Have no sense of I should do this; then anything that you do has no meaning. You live in a land of great moralizing and religious preaching, and if all the shoulds and should nots made your life fulfilling, there would be only joyous people living in it, and yet your land is filled with discontent. Children look after their parents because they ‘should’, and in that ‘should’, never give a moment of love; husbands and wives who live together because they ‘must’ and in that ‘must’ there is no harmony ever felt. When you LIVE, you instantly and naturally live for others; then you do not look after your parents because you ‘should’ but because that is all that you know to do: to share of yourself. And why must you share of yourself only with your family?

Each moment is a sharing and a giving and receiving and many of you know how to give but so few know how to receive. Take the money; you have bought this for me so I must return the money to you. Do not receive the ‘things’; receive the love. When you receive a gift and it is a ‘thing’, you have not received anything. But all you can do is to sit and to gently touch her shoulder and in this touch, she has received it all. But you close yourself to receiving from others. Sharing is not about giving alone; it’s about giving and receiving. Joyously embrace the one who gives; in that embrace, you give. Then there is no living through obligation and duty and burden and resentment. For most, relationships are all about resentment, each one trying to get their own way because neither knows how to LIVE.

So today we ask you to prepare yourselves to die. Let there be joyous acceptance of each moment as it unfolds to you. When you prepare yourself to die…. (we can here someone say, “Ah! I’m going to die in 3 months, so now I’m going to buy all that I wish to buy.”) (Laughter) We hear it all. Go ahead and buy, but are you seeking joy, or are you seeking an answer to your sadness? If you wish to go ahead and buy because it gives you JOY, go ahead but if in that buying you seek an answer to escaping sadness, discontent, dissatisfaction in your life, you will not get any. Every few months you will need to buy; every few weeks then you will need to buy, and then every day you will need to buy. Addiction!

So when you prepare yourself to die, you must first ask the question, “Do I know what is JOY, or do I only know transient happiness? Does my happiness come through a person, a place, a thing? Then I do not know JOY.” To be in a state of JOY, you, as her mother, would not need to ever see her again. But to be in a state of happiness, you need to see her every few weeks; you need to hear the other’s voice every few days; to be in a state of happiness, not JOY. You believe that JOY would miraculously enter your life, if your son and you would be in harmony, and we tell you that that would only bring about a state of transient happiness, which in fact, would further the disharmony within you.

To LIVE there must be JOY, not happiness that is reliant on what is ‘outside’, but just the JOY OF LIFE; to experience energies in all its beautifully diverse manifestation; to experience, not to hold, not to cling, not to have, not to possess, not to belong; to EXPERIENCE. So come on, let us all prepare to die together. In that there will be such large outpourings of JOY that your world will forget the illusion that Death is an end. There is no end; there is only a larger Beingness.

You all wish to expand. If you were to tell them right now that you were giving them a meditation, which is a sure fire way to expand but for that they would have to come to you at 12 at night, each one would be here; each one and many more, because all wish to expand and yet, do you not see that this very physical structure limits your expansion and that were you not to have it, you would need no meditation to expand.

Diana: You said that we have the instinct to survive but what happens in the case of suicide? Then you are willing to embrace death.

Ah! No! You are not willing to embrace death…. the fear of death remains, but the fear of facing the experience overpowers the fear to die. One fear becomes larger than this one. The fear of death never goes, but the fear of experiencing life’s troubles, the fear of your own inadequacy, the fear of lack of complete control, the fear of being helpless, overpowers the fear of death.

And yet we tell you, (now we put another twist to the ‘truth’….Smiles) and yet we tell you, not all suicide is suicide. Not all suicide is SUICIDE. SUICIDE is the ending of life for the purpose of escaping life’s troubles. But what about Masters who consciously go into a state of what you have called ‘Samadhi’? Surrendering to death: eating nothing, drinking nothing, knowing that in a few days Death will take from them this carcass. That is not SUICIDE.

What about those who die because they are passionate about a cause?

Wonderful! Many a time have we heard conversations amongst you all: suicide bombers, those who commit hara-kiri; in every culture, in every land you have such souls whose passions run deep, so deep that they are willing to die for the cause. Again, the Universe does not look upon this as a SUICIDE. They are not doing this to escape their own personal problem or conflict, but the passion of their cause….. and we do not justify it either as right or wrong because there is no right and wrong.  No Master and no living Master and no human being is ever in a position to judge another’s actions, beliefs and thoughts as ‘right’ or ‘wrong’. So their passion for their cause is an energy so overwhelming that they are willing to surrender their right to live and experience, in order to further the cause they believe in. Personal karma? Yes! They have to face that, as you have to face it for all your actions. But it does not come out from a ‘right’ and a ‘wrong’. The karmic repercussion, the energy of the law of cause and effect, is the responsibility of that soul itself…. there is no one punishing the soul for having caused the death of 600 people in a hijack, in a suicide bombing. The soul takes on that responsibility in its Reviewal Chamber, and then the soul begins to understand and wiegh the passion of one and the energy of the other. And that is not a SUICIDE either. So not all suicide is SUICIDE; it is voluntary embracing of death….not in order to escape. The definition of SUICIDE is that. Is it to escape?

Let us see how many of you have the courage to prepare yourselves for death. We caution you again: your minds will start playing games of self-deception as soon as you begin to do this. Then I must have that watch I have always wanted. I’m not going to live 3 months from now, so I must buy it now. (Laughter)Question, transient happiness or true joy? But before you question that, question, have you ever experienced true Joy or has it always been transient happiness?

LET US ALL DIE SO THAT WE MAY LIVE…….Live in Light.
