Do It Now!
People often think my channel is without blemish and does not get censured, yet this could not be further from the truth because, in a number of past-lives, she had not completed her life lessons and had allowed the Self part of her to rule her. She asked before she returned to the earth plane in this incarnation to come back and, with the help of a Master, be educated in the ego/Self and given the energy to face her fear. It was decided – as she had the intuitive ability very close to the surface of her soul and in past incarnations she had been using it, albeit sometimes not in the way it was intended – that she would work in close association with me. However, she gave permission for me to teach her and to raise her vibration/consciousness through that teaching.
In 1992 I began that task. Prior to this, she had been working with another energy, a very talented energy, known as Argos; he had not yet earned the status of Master but he worked in close association with the Master Hilarion who assists souls who wish to come back to learn to remove their fear. Much fear had been removed when I came into my channel’s life, but it was the fear of doing her intuitive work. She still had much to learn about facing her fear of being in the public arena – of taking criticism – something she had difficulty in doing, in controlling the emotional body, and not being judgmental and critical. However, she knew she had to learn, and she took her task very seriously.
Over the earth years that I have been with her, it has been necessary at times to let her know that her conduct was not considered suitable for working with us. I told her in the beginning that there is only one employer; that is my energy. I also told her that, in order to work with me, she needed to follow her intuition and what was given to her. Thankfully she did this, and it enabled our work to be done to the level it is today.
However, there were times when I needed to speak to her about her behavior, especially when she judged or made comment on another or when she did not complete a task on time. At one time we dictated a FAX to be sent to a TV station, as we knew that when she sent it that the right person would be on the FAX machine to receive it and get Margaret a spot on a TV show. She finished channeling the writing and gave it to her husband to send out but then left it, not making sure that it was sent at that moment. Days of earth time later we asked if it had been sent because no TV show interview had been forthcoming. She discovered that her husband had put it into his In-tray and had not sent it; he was going to send it but had forgotten about it. We spoke to her with love but with discipline about how important it is to do it herself and not leave it to others, for often others are busy and forget about what needs to be done.
Often astrological timing is important and, if a situation or matter is not dealt with, the timing is not there or the planets are not in alignment. In the past, she would get upset when we did discuss these things with her and chide her with love, but it was necessary for her learning and for her discipline. She would have received the same from her employer were she working in a company on the earth plane.
In the past she learned to do things when asked by us. Recently though she was asked to do something and did not do it. There were many factors which opposed it, but still it was necessary to tell her again that it was not good enough and to remind her again of the urgency of doing things when asked. This time she was able to see the situation and, although she was troubled that she had not completed her task, she was able to stay in her Higher Self and not get upset.
When you work with us, you are not to be ashamed to admit you have made mistakes. You are not to fear receiving comment which we need to say. What you must realize is that we are not trying to hurt or injure you in any way, but we are trying to help you. We do not ask you to be perfect but, just as with the FAX situation, sometimes opportunities are lost because you do not follow your orders.
We have been very fortunate to have had a channel who is eager to learn and who is ready to face her fear. Most of her fear was abject – in other words it was right in front of her but she had to face it. She could not run away despite her Self wanting to do so. More than anything, she did listen to us. Many times those around her did not want to listen, and conflict occurred. But the majority of the time our work was done on time.
It is not easy giving up your will. The Self loves to have control, and over the years we found ways to keep her Self occupied. It has now been 16 years since we began our work together. Thankfully, she no longer needs to be told when things are not right like she did before. However she knows it can still happen, but she admits she is not – and never will be – perfect, for life on the earth plane can never be so with the Self being there. However, once one conquers the Self and learns to control it and work with the Higher Self, life becomes a lot easier.
My channel still has a long way to go; we have not even begun our true work together. But if you plan on working with a Master teacher and feel it is your destiny to do so, then do know that there can only be one boss – if you can call it that – and it is not you!
