The Path of Reconciliation by Jennifer Hoffman

I really like Jennifer’s work – This is her message for November 2009:

If we could see of our lifetimes they would not look like a continuous path moving forward. Instead, they would resemble a twisted path which curved back on itself multiple times and it would often seem like there was no forward movement. This is because many of our lifetimes have no forward movement as we are trying to fix what we believe was broken, incomplete, unfinished or unresolved in the past. Most of our lifetimes have this focus, which is why it has taken us so long to arrive at the point where ascension was an option. Before we can move ahead into the future we must resolve the past through the path of reconciliation. But not necessarily by going backwards into it. We can reconcile by moving forwards by changing our mindset about reconciliation.

We feel the same way about lifetimes that end tragically or sadly, with unresolved issues or pain that we do in this lifetime when someone betrays us and we do not know why. When our heart and soul are wounded or we are so angry or bitter about an unresolved event, we want justice and closure. So we reconstruct that lifetime’s details to allow us to create a different outcome. But as we know, that does not always happen. Too often we become mired in the same emotions and pain that we experienced the first time around. And so we are on the path of reconciliation, trying again and again for closure and release by trying to undo the past.

This is the “old” way of doing things, which is why we have had so many lifetimes where we repeat lessons and get stuck within our soul group dynamics. And there is a little twist to this story because not only do we try to make different choices within the energy dynamic, we also give the other participants a chance to make other choices too. The phrase “turn the other cheek” is taken very literally here where instead of turning the other cheek and walking away, we give them an opportunity to wound us again, which they very often do.

Each time we repeat this process we become more wounded until we are disillusioned, believing that it is our destiny to carry the burden of pain because we cannot find our way out of it. This is where our life path stops moving forward and appears to double back on itself. If we could see the energy we would see that it doubles back to the same lifetime, energy or experience, again and again, as we try to resolve it by going back to it. Our life path is stuck in an endless loop of seeking resolution, reconciliation and truth through repeating the situation until we get a different outcome.

But because the energy is the same, the outcome will always be the same. And because the soul group is the same, the vibration is also the same. We do not understand that we cannot find reconciliation within these dynamics until we change something within ourselves. And that what we are really looking for is reconciliation about our feelings of separation and disconnection. We want the world and everyone in it to love us so we can believe that we are loved by God. Then we can make sense of our long journey away from and back to our Home.

There is relief available to us but it comes at the price of acceptance and forgiveness. Accepting that our past is our creation and represents the lessons we need to learn. That no matter how many times we offer someone the chance to change, as long as they do not see the need for it or are not willing to do it, they will continue to act as they always have. Our reconciliation with our pain cannot depend on another’s actions. It is our desire to reconcile our feelings about the past that creates the need to repeat it. Yet without a new energy or vibration, the release of our expectations of others and forgiveness, we will never find peace.

This is something we stubbornly resist because we are so afraid of rejection by our Source that we cannot go to Source for the answer. So we ask others to be stand-ins, to take the place of the one whose love we cannot risk losing. And we ask them to show us the unconditional love we believe we have lost and want proof of. And the irony is that it can never be lost and is something that can never be taken away from us. Our need to reconcile with them is our need to reconcile with our Self. Every wrong, no matter how small, is a source of pain that we want to re-visit to “get it right,” pretend that it did not happen, that the person did not mean it. Yet, like the Frog and Scorpion in the fable, that is their dharma, it is what they do. And that is what they will always do, in every situation. Can we see that we are the ones who need to change? Not until we learn to stop asking our human family to show us what it needs to learn from us, love, detachment, non-judgment, and unconditional love.

Our victim paradigm, which fuels our need for recapturing our power through repeating life challenges, is another aspect we need to consider. Are we a victim of someone’s behavior or our own expectations? How often do we deliberately create opportunities for others to help us resolve our victim experiences, allowing them to show us that they really didn’t mean it? And then we find that it is not by setting ourselves up as a victim and expecting someone to see us as powerful that we heal this aspect, it is by becoming powerful and refusing to be victimized.

With this we come to forgiveness as another form of relief from the painful healing cycles of reconciliation. Can we forgive ourselves when we realize that our pain and suffering exist because we created them? When we accept responsibility for our reality, we realize that we are our source of pain, which others mirror to us. We forgive them for their actions and with that must also forgive ourselves for inviting them and their energy into our reality.

So the reconciliation we seek is not so much with others, but with ourselves. We need to reconcile ourselves with our power and divinity, not through our endless search for it in the world by but finding it within. Although our search takes us far and wide, we are always brought back to ourselves, to the inner source where everything we have ever wanted and needed, waits for us to acknowledge it. We are worthy of the love we so desperately want to find in the world. It is a love we take for granted because it is always within, a steady, bright light that shines even though we sometimes close our eyes tightly so we do not have to look at it. We are the love we have been seeking, the gift we hope we would be worthy of receiving and the light that we have sought in others. The path of reconciliation is one we will pursue until we acknowledge that its resolution lies within us. And then we will be home and connected to ourselves, which then allows us to be connected to, loved and valued by everyone.

The Fable of the Frog and the Scorpion

One day, a scorpion looked around at the mountain where he lived and decided that he wanted a change. So he set out on a journey through the forests and hills. He climbed over rocks and under vines and kept going until he reached a river.

The river was wide and swift, and the scorpion stopped to reconsider the situation. He couldn’t see any way across. So he ran upriver and then checked downriver, all the while thinking that he might have to turn back.

Suddenly, he saw a frog sitting in the rushes by the bank of the stream on the other side of the river. He decided to ask the frog for help getting across the stream.

“Hellooo Mr. Frog!” called the scorpion across the water, “Would you be so kind as to give me a ride on your back across the river?”

“Well now, Mr. Scorpion! How do I know that if I try to help you, you won’t try to kill me?” asked the frog hesitantly.

“Because,” the scorpion replied, “If I try to kill you, then I would die too, for you see I cannot swim!”

Now this seemed to make sense to the frog. But he asked. “What about when I get close to the bank? You could still try to kill me and get back to the shore!”

“This is true,” agreed the scorpion, “But then I wouldn’t be able to get to the other side of the river!”

“Alright then…how do I know you won’t just wait till we get to the other side and THEN kill me?” said the frog.

“Ahh…,” crooned the scorpion, “Because you see, once you’ve taken me to the other side of this river, I will be so grateful for your help, that it would hardly be fair to reward you with death, now would it?!”

So the frog agreed to take the scorpion across the river. He swam over to the bank and settled himself near the mud to pick up his passenger. The scorpion crawled onto the frog’s back, his sharp claws prickling into the frog’s soft hide, and the frog slid into the river. The muddy water swirled around them, but the frog stayed near the surface so the scorpion would not drown. He kicked strongly through the first half of the stream, his flippers paddling wildly against the current.

The frog felt a sharp sting and knew that the scorpion had stung him. “Why did you do that?” he said, if you sting me we will both drown. “Oh,” said the scorpion. “I’m so sorry, but I can’t help myself as it is my nature. I won’t do it again.” So the frog continued to swim and a few minutes later the frog felt another sting on his back. “Scorpion,” he said, “if you sting me I will not be able to carry you across the river and we will both drown.”

“I didn’t mean to do it,” said the scorpion.” “It’s my nature but it won’t happen again.”

They were nearly across the river when the frog felt a third sharp sting in his back and, out of the corner of his eye, saw the scorpion remove his stinger from the frog’s back. A deadening numbness began to creep into his limbs.

“You fool!” croaked the frog, “Now we shall both die! Why did you do that when you said you would not do it again?”

The scorpion shrugged, and did a little jig on the drowning frog’s back.

“I could not help myself. It is my nature.” Then they both sank into the muddy waters of the swiftly flowing river.

Uriel’s Message — The Atlantean Guilt by Jennifer Hoffman

So many of you who are teachers, healers and Lightworkers today held those roles in Atlantis, and you retain the energies and the memories of the work you did there, including the end of that era. For it was an era, a time when humanity was provided with an opening to experience their divinity and they misused this energy and destroyed themselves. You know that you are on the threshold of yet another cycle of the experience of divinity and the fear you feel is related to your Atlantean experience and its guilt.

The guilt you carry is from your feeling of responsibility for destroying your world and watching it end, from knowing that you were trusted by many and you betrayed their trust, from your association with those you trusted and whose objectives were hidden from you. Even today many of you are reluctant to use your gifts to their fullest extent because you fear that when others are aware of what you can do, they will take advantage of you, as happened in Atlantis. As you approach the end of this cycle the memory of your guilt is creating fear, hesitation and doubt.

In Atlantis there was an opportunity to create heaven on earth but it was done by attempting to manipulate the earth’s energies to create heaven through the material world. In this new cycle you understand that there is a partnership between spiritual and material, and you are preparing the earth to receive spirit. This is as it should be for the transition to occur without destruction. But what happened in Atlantis was the manipulation of your energies to accomplish the desires of the ego’s need for domination.

You were not responsible for Atlantis’ destruction, even though you were present and contributed to those energies. Your powers were misused by those whose purpose was to create a human and ego focused transformation. You willingly participated in the work that was done, not understanding how you and all of humanity were being misled at that time. It is time for each of you to accept the fullness of your power and to trust that it will not be misused. You have spent lifetimes preparing for this moment and are at the point of transition, as you were in Atlantis. This is a new era, with new energies, vibrations and you have the wisdom and knowledge learned from your previous cycle. Release your guilt, accept your power and gifts, and allow the new earth become the partnership of heaven and earth that you have worked so hard to create.

Uriel’s Message — Be Your Purpose by Jennifer Hoffman

The true purpose of your life journey is being revealed to you as you proceed into your ascension for this is when you can discern between the different roles that ego and spirit play in your reality. This is a profound truth that humanity has tried to understand without success because when approached from the ego, your purpose is seen as being to conquer the world. From spirit, your purpose is to heal, grow, transcend your humanity and bring light to the world. You are to be your purpose in all things and you will achieve success when you approach your task from Spirit.

The ego connects to the energies of fear and is afraid of being dominated, so it finds its power and conquers its fear through domination and control. Its belief that the world is wrong and is to be conquered and destroyed is the reason for the power that darkness appears to have in the third dimension. But the ego is not aware that the world is an illusion, created from the thoughts and beliefs of humanity. In trying to destroy the world, it is attempting to destroy an illusion that is perpetuated through its fear. This is a struggle that will not end until the connection with Spirit is made.

Spirit provides another alternative. Spirit knows that the world is an illusion whose purpose is to provide the ego with the lessons required for its transformation. There is no reality or truth in the illusion, which constantly shifts according to the energies that humanity resonates with. Thus it is an ever changing paradigm, whose purpose is to show the balance of light and darkness that is being created. Your purpose is to bring the light and when you focus solely on this, you allow Spirit to magnify even the smallest amounts of light and create pathways to ascension for all of humanity.

The promise of ascension has always been your salvation, a reminder of the reconnection that is the promise that was made to you with your first incarnation. It is through the pathway of ascension and its lessons that you are reunited with your divinity and allow the blending of Spirit and ego, the balancing of light and dark and the creation of heaven on earth. The darkness is an illusion that is illuminated by light and through your constant light presence you complete humanity’s cycle and return the family of humanity to the light it came from. Be your purpose, which is to be the light for yourselves and the world. No matter how dark the world appears to be, the illusion of the dark will always be dispelled by the light of divine truth.

Uriel’s Message — You are the Heart of God (channeling by Jennifer Hoffman)

At the beginning of the human cycle you and Creator considered how you would best bring humanity through its journey of separation and reconnection. During the period of separation humanity would live in darkness, forgetting its source of love and unable to find that love within. You agreed to be the gift, to hold the spark of divine, unconditional love within you, always ready for the perfect moment when fear would be released. This spark is the heart of God which you have carried within you to remind humanity of the love that awaits them in the light.

Every aspect of humanity’s cycle has gone according to plan, including the abandonment of the love that you have known was humanity’s salvation during the eons of disconnection. There was never a timeline associated with this process, it would take as long as necessary to fully return to a willingness to accept unconditional love. As Lightworkers you have each carried the heart of God, willing to reveal it to others and each time being rejected by those who were not ready to disconnect from fear and the ego’s control.

In your own hearts you carry great love for humanity, you suffer for others and feel their pain. You are saddened by those who believe they have been abandoned by Source, rejected by Creator and removed from Love. You hope that by creating love you help others rekindle their own spark of divine love. They reject you because they are not ready to release their own pain and find comfort in the ego’s story of abandonment. Love is your gift;  you are their gift and their memory of salvation and redemption through the heart of God. Continue to hold the love in your hearts for the time is nearly here when you will see the end of fear and the dawn of the light of understanding in those who have rejected you in this lifetime and many others.

Your pact with Creator was to be the heart of God, the example of unconditional love and to show others the path to mastery through love. This is a love beyond the understanding of the ego and any earthly energy. Expand this love in your daily life, remember that it lives in your own heart and stay within your own divine heart connection so you can light the way for others. They will know you through your love and when it is time, will follow you into the light of unconditional love and its rewards of peace and joy. Through the heart of God you will create heaven on earth and the human cycle will be completed.

Uriel’s Message — Release Your Guilt – Channeled by Jennifer Hoffman

As Lightworkers you have held the light for the world, often alone and unappreciated, for eons of lifetimes. When no one else was willing to suffer for the light, you were there to defend it. When humanity was ready to shift and transform, you were present for the process and this has happened many times for you. Each time you thought you were going to participate in the earth’s ascension and each time you were let down. For this many of you carry guilt and it is time to release it.

As long ago as Lemuria and Atlantis and even before, you have been part of humanity’s great awakenings, ready to assist with the transition from darkness to light, from suffering to joy and from fear to unconditional love. Yet at the moment of transition humanity wavered and was unable to continue. Many of you carry this guilt as a burden of failure, proof that you did not work hard enough, did not carry enough light or were not strong enough to complete this work. Yet this was not your doing, humanity had much more to do before it could complete its ascension and your efforts provided the glimpse into the light it needed to continue.

With each ascension cycle you have been present, hoping for the moment that humanity would remember its divinity, reconnect to Source and re-align itself with the Divine Plan for reconnection. You accepted blame each time this did not happen but it has never been your responsibility to ensure that ascension happened, you were only to be the emissaries of light to enable it to happen.

This is the final ascension, the moment when humanity will acknowledge its divinity, will accept its Source connection and will re-align itself with the final portion of the Divine Plan, to ascend into higher dimensions and a new paradigm of the spiritual human. It is because you were present during the many iterations of this process that it can happen now. So release your guilt, be blessed in the knowing that your contributions have made this possible and know that you are loved beyond measure by the One who is the Source of all. Keep your energy fully in this moment so that you are conscious of the advances that are being made and you will see the Divine Plan’s fulfillment.

Uriel’s Message — Release Energies with Intention – by Jennifer Hoffman

It is your intention for healing, closure and clearing that allows you to release energies you no longer need. This is confirmation that you are raising your vibrations and are willing to move forward on your path and it allows you to be aware of the veil that separates you from your divinity, in the form of energies you no longer resonate with. But there must be a purpose or intention that accompanies this release or you will leave energies behind you that are not cleared and can connect with others.

Part of your mission is to become aware of these energies and transmute them so they are removed from the earth’s grid. You can set your intention for different outcomes, which will allow you to release them and send them where they belong, without simply releasing them into the Universe. These are earth energies and you have the power to remove and transform them but you must set an intention for the process. You can send them back to the person who gave them to you, send them to the light, remove them from your energetic field or transform them into a higher vibration.

When you send energies back to someone, do so with the loving intention of gratitude for their presence on your path. Each person plays a role in your ascension and you must be grateful to them for their participation to complete these cycles. You have completed an exchange with them that has fulfilled your healing. If you send energies to the light, do so with gratitude for the role they have played in your healing. You assumed them so you could transmute them and become whole. Be grateful for their presence and for your ability to let them go.

Remove energies from your own energetic field with the intention to also release them from the earth’s grid. Your ability to know that these energies are no longer required is evidence of your ascension and the change in your vibrations. And when you release energies that are of a lower vibration, do so with the intention to transform them into a higher vibration as you let them go. You can transmute fear it into its higher polarity of unconditional love. Transmute anger into gratitude for the lessons it has taught you. Transmute sadness into joy for your ability to know that you deserve joy in your life. Transmute chaos into the peace you can now because you have transcended this aspect of polarity.

There is no place for blame, shame, anger and judgment of the energies you are ready to release. They have no meaning other than their experience in your life. You have accepted these energies so you could create the vibrations of peace, joy and unconditional love on the earth. You are responsible for their presence here and you are also responsible for their transformation. When you are ready, you will transmute all energies into their higher vibration and then there will be heaven on earth and the earth’s healing and ascension will be completed.

Word for the day

When it seems humanly impossible to do more in a difficult situation, surrender yourself to the inner silence and thereafter wait for a sign of obvious guidance or for a renewal of inner strength.

Paul Brunton Meditations for People in Crisis

Uriel’s Message — Where You Are Supposed To Be by Jennifer Hoffman

Each moment of your journey is planned to give you every opportunity to transcend the darkness that you believed was your path and find the light. Each experience is a lesson in healing, finding your power and reconnecting to Source. You are always where you are supposed to be, doing the work that you have come here to do and experiencing all aspects of darkness and light until you arrive at your spiritual center. This is your journey, the fulfillment of your contract and the acknowledgement of your agreement with your divine self.

The times in your life where you struggle, suffer, experience chaos and drama you call accidents, mistakes, errors in judgment and misfortune. But your only error occurred when you believed yourself to be out of touch with your Source and disconnected from your divinity. Each time you move away from this connection you experience the chaos of fear. When you move back into the flow of divine love you know the calm and serenity of knowing your Truth. With each of these movements you are exactly where you are supposed to be, moving between the energies of human and divine, fear and love, material and spiritual.

You have chosen this path to learn about every aspect of fear so that it can be transmuted. This journey from the spiritual to material and back again is the path that leads to your mastery. To find your power you must learn what it is to be without it, just as you choose to learn about love by removing yourself from its source. It is the contract that each of you has with Creator, to awaken each aspect of humanity to the light and you have done this for lifetimes.

Your life path is an agreement between you and Creator, a journey from light to darkness and back to the light. With each step you are where you are supposed to be as you open your heart and allow the alignment of the light within you. Do not ask why you are at a particular place in your life. Instead, know that you are where you are supposed to be and consider that your decision for the next step on your journey is what is necessary for your soul’s growth and ascension.
