| 10 - Ashtar " The Nature of Service" 7th June 1995 Good evening beloved ones, this is Ashtar. Good evening. It is lovely to be with you again. A smaller group than normal this evening, I see, but that is fine. At this time there are individuals coming through to talk to you about the concept of energy and service, and I will say a little on this matter, but there will be another who will speak to you, a little later on, who will have more to say about Service. There is no higher activity in which one can be involved, than in Service for the Source. Ultimately, when all beings awaken they will realise that that is why they are here. For even those beings who have refused to awaken at all at this time, are still in Service to the Source; for they are here having a physical experience for the Source. This is why they came here in the first place. This is the nature of incarnation on the Earth plane, but as you are aware, my beloved ones, you are Spirit having a human experience for the Source. Some people may ask, "Well, if that's the case, what's in it for me?" What's in it for you is, that in your evolvement there are certain things that one needs to do in order to complete the spiritual experience that is life itself . The Buddhists refer to this agenda as the Karmic Wheel. It doesn't matter what you call it, but it is important to know that it needs to be worked through. All this learning, progress, whatever you want to call it, can occur in Spirit, but some of it is better achieved here on the Earth plane... in the third dimension. And that is why so many beings have chosen to incarnate here at this time. You see, to undertake this work in the realm of limitation that is the third dimension means that if you can achieve these goals in this environment, then you do the work much more quickly than you would in Spirit. So that's the trade-off for you. The trade-off for the Source is, of course, that the Source has another human experience to draw from and, hence, Knows itself a little better. But everything in the cosmos is Service. The cosmos itself is Service. Because the cosmos, the All That Is, is there because the Creator... the Source, wished it to be. So the All That Is is in Service to the Creator. It is manifesting what the Creator chose to have manifest. And this is at the heart of service. It doesn't mean that it is a matter of doing something for someone. It is a matter of being. So when someone asks you to do something for them well, that can be a type of service - that's service as it is understood on the third dimensional plane - but for people who are interested in the higher realms, the nature of Service is not being asked to do anything, it is just being. It is the understanding that you are what you are that is the Service. It is the understanding that every moment you spend on this Earth plane, you spend in God - that is the Service. Some people would say, "But I don't get it - just sitting around, that's service? What are you talking about?" Well, it's not just sitting around. It's a matter of self-realisation. It is a matter of advancing oneself through mastery of one's own being that ultimately raises the vibration of the cosmos itself, because the cosmos is a reflection of the Source. You are a reflection of the Source, so that by you increasing your vibration serves to help raise the vibration of the planet and raise the vibration of the very cosmos itself. This is the Service. The Service is being available, being able to channel the Source, allowing these things to happen. Sometimes, there is a fine line between doing and allowing. But you need to understand the difference. Going out and doing something is something that has your small self attached to it; by just being and understanding that you are an aspect of the Creator, and that you have committed your life to the Creator, and that you have given up your free will, and that you have given it over to the Source to determine what will happen in your life, then you are making yourself available for Service. Highest wisdom will determine in what form that will be, of course. You will be noticing, already, that since you have given over your life for the Creator, Almighty Mother/Father God I Am, to choose in highest wisdom what is to happen for you each day, that the things that are happening for you are more exciting than they were before. That life is more interesting, that life is full of joy, that your heart sings all the time and that you no longer find the need to worry about things or have struggle in your lives; because you understand the perfection that is played out every day. This is being of the highest Service that you can, because you have given yourself over to Mother/Father God I Am. In doing this you have become like a leaf in the wind that is God, to be swept along at whatever whim the Creator decides, but by surrendering, and going with flow of the cosmos and the energy that drives it, you are accepting that everything will be taken care of for you; and it is, for that is the reality that you have chosen. If you were to still fight it, if you still choose struggle, you will ultimately get blown along by the energy of the cosmos, anyway. It's just that you will feel that what was meant for you in this lifetime, has not occurred. You will not see that you are in Service. You will not see the Service of the cosmos itself, because you will be too busy caught up fighting the energy that drives the All That Is. People who do this are sometimes referred to as "control freaks". The thing is, that if one wants to maintain control of one's life, one has to get one's highest wisdom from somewhere in order to know what to do. Well, the ego's not capable of giving you much information in that area - it will give you some. Your higher self is usually so far away when you are in that place that it is a little hard to get in touch with, and your I Am is even further away. People who are desperate to maintain control are unlikely to listen often to their intuition because their logical mind is more likely to tell them what the risks are, or what is 'likely to happen' - if you see what I mean. The logical mind will always want to offer you the safe alternative. The logical mind will tell you to wear a belt and braces each day because that will minimise the chance of your trousers falling down. Your intuition might say "Well it doesn't matter. What's to fear?". But someone who is into maintaining control will listen to their logical mind every time. When one is in that place it is very difficult to be in Service. It is very difficult to be of service to oneself, let alone the All That Is. |
