Message from the Grandmothers

Grandmothers Message: No More Separation

I journeyed to the Grandmothers because I was frustrated by my desire for more women step into leadership positions with their work. Many had come forward to run Grandmothers' groups, study circles, and spread the Grandmothers' message in various ways, yet others who said they wanted to help with the work kept falling by the wayside. I was disappointed and discouraged as I approached the Grandmothers. What follows is what they taught me , and, as always, this lesson turned out to be not just for me, but for everyone.

"We will do this work together," they said and giving me an appraising look, added, "you are one with us. The women and men we call are also one with us , but don't yet know it. In the last few thousand years human beings have been taught to consider themselves as separate from the Divine. You have been told to both revere God and fear God. This maxim is still preached today in many churches, temples and mosques. 'Fear of God!' the Grandmothers said and shook their heads in disgust. "What does a belief like this do except separate you from God?

"You ask us why people do not step up and take leadership in this work," they said. "This is why. They are afraid, they feel unworthy, and they distrust themselves. Either that or they are so confused in their thinking that they feel inordinately special and behave like demigods.

"You become frustrated when people do not step into leadership roles with the Grandmothers' work. Frustrated when they lose faith and commitment, and drop by the wayside, but fear causes them to do this. This fear we are speaking of is endemic. It is everywhere and creates cowardice, scattered energy, a lack of confidence, and depression. All of these unlovely states are nothing but symptoms of the pain caused by separation from the Divine. And 'separation from the Divine' now lies like a blanket over the earth. We tell you," the Grandmothers said, "that all diseases of body, mind and spirit spring from this and nothing but this. From this false sense of separation.

"We have come to lift this pall that lies over the earth. We will do this through the Net of Light and we will do it through those of you who hear our message and go on to live this message, becoming a force of light on earth. We see you, and see that wherever you stand you broadcast light to and hearten one another. And as you hold this light steady, you strengthen the Net of Light that holds the earth.

"We understand your sense of loneliness," they said as they looked me over. "You long for comrades in light,they said, "We want you to know how much we appreciate and resonate with each of you who takes this stance we have mentioned, each of you who calls on us or any form of the Divine and holds the light steady for herself/himself and for the planet.

"Sit with us now," they said. "Sit in circle with us as together we broadcast light. Experience that as we do this, light goes forth in every direction-out the front of your chest, out the back, and at the same moment goes inward as well, deep into the fibers, nerve endings and cells of your body. Strengthening everything. Experience this power," they said. "You are a fully lit bulb and your wattage is growing as we speak.

"Do not blame yourself when others do not respond to your light with like wattage. Their inability to do this is not caused by a defect in you. It is again that thought form of separation from the Source at work. But this old thought form is being penetrated by light now, being dissipated by the light you hold and magnify.

"We remind you to call on us and sit often in circle with us. You are not lower than us. You are not smaller or less than we are. You are one with us," they said, giving me a fierce look. "Sit in circle with us. Take your proper place, and once you have, let light flow as it will. You are a divine being," they said. "Enjoy this. Enjoy your birthright. Hold the light. Be held by the light and let us hold you. We hold you, even now," they said.

"Hold, hold, hold."
