Freedom Within

Siddhananda: All right, let's see what we have here. We'll just start with this little thing.

G: Aha.

Siddhananda: (Showing a very small round transparent stone) There it is. (long pause with closed eyes) Okay, they're lonely, they haven't slept at all, they don't feel settled. (light laughter) That's what we’re starting out with.

G: Okay. (light laughter).

Spirit: I had a dream last night that I was free.

G: Aha.

Spirit: Please bless me with freedom.

G: Well, the freedom has to be found within yourself. Nobody can hand it to you. It's not like a magic pill. You actually have to stop and do the work and go within your own being, and see what's there and what's not. You have to take the journey.

Siddhananda: (long pause) They're saying it would be nice if it came in an instance, but, that's not true.

G: Yeah, no, no instant.

Siddhananda: Aha.

G: I think people have this mistaken notion that sometimes they can go to a Guru and it can just be handed to them. 

Siddhananda: Right, they just want that without that work and that doesn't [happen].

G: Yeah, i don't want to work.

Siddhananda: Yeah.

G: i want carte blanche and i want to get out of jail free card. We're not Santa Claus with a goodie bag that we can just hand it out. It doesn't work that way. All we can do is give you practices and give you guidance, but, you have to make the journey yourself.

Siddhananda: Yeah, if you bypass those lessons, it's not going to be a true thing.

G: Right.

Siddhananda: It wouldn't happen that way. (pause) Okay, are there some mantras they can have?

G: Yes, the can go ahead and do the "Om that I am" and the "I am that I am" and the "COS". That will give them a really good [foundation]. (nodding head).

Siddhananda: Yeah (hand on heart center) Thank you.

G: (hand on heart center) They're ready to go. Thank you.

Siddhananda: (gesturing a flying motion) On your way.

G: On their journey.

Pool of Consciousness

Siddhananda: Oaky. So, let's see what this little tidbit has to say (showing a white stone), tidbit of energy.

G: It's the one that looks like the candy.

Siddhananda: I know, i was thinking that [too]! (laughing).

G: It looks like a little caramel (laughing).

Siddhananda: A little caramel. It's cute. (pause) Okay, i just hear "mental waves are dying, freedom awaits".

G: Mental waves are dying. Well that's good.

Siddhananda: And freedom awaits.

G: Right.

Siddhananda: So..

G: That's good. The more those mental waves die down and the more that one is free of the thoughts, then of course the freedom is going to come through that, for sure.

Siddhananda: Yeah, simple. Simple, but, true.

G: Absolutely!

Siddhananda: (pause) Okay, they're feeling those mental waves are dying for them as well, or vanishing, however you want to put it.

G: Aha (nodding).

Siddhananda: ..as well as those for many in humanity and that kind of thing is beginning to stir up as well as vanish, so.

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: (pause) They're kind of reaching in this small pool. This is what's happening with them, but, also in the larger pool.

G: On the cosmic level as well.

Siddhananda: Yeah.

G: Yeah, Macrocosm and microcosm.

Siddhananda: Yeah. The larger pool of consciousness.

G: Yes.

Siddhananda: (pause) Okay. So, i see a small pool that a lot of people live in.

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: They live there, they play there, they are there.

G: Right.

Siddhananda: And they are crowded in there too with some other souls.

G: Aha.

Siddhananda: swimming pool.. mind, consciousness.. So, i see that sort of needing that cement of that pool to be broken apart.

G: Right, and that's why we're putting the COS out there.

Siddhananda: For sure.

G: They're all swimming in the same pool of consciousness, let's put it that way.

Siddhananda: That's right, perfect. That's it, exactly, and so that cement needs to be broken up with a sledgehammer or something.

G: Yeah, exactly.

Siddhananda: ..so that it can run out to the greater good and the greater universal consciousness, because people are so preoccupied with their entertainment and their life and all of their things, so, they're just showing that as the pool. They're just out there having fun.

G: Right.

Siddhananda: There's work to be done people, is what they want to say. (laughing).

G: Yeah. If you want to progress you got to put the work in.

Siddhananda: Yeah.

G: Yeah. You have to see something of more value than the external stuff, but, so many people don’t even see that, they're just caught up in the externals and stuff.

Siddhananda: Yeah.

G: And try and cover over and not look.

Siddhananda: And that's the thing with how it is so with a lot of cases. So, I think that was about all, it was just break through that, start listening, open up and these kind of things.

G: Yeah. An admotion for people to start waking up.

Siddhananda: Yeah.

G: (laughing).

Siddhananda: It's really nice, so, thank you.

G: Exactly.

Mummified

Siddhananda: Alright, so we’ve got our next one! (pause) A lot of calcification in there. I think this is the one that said they had some hard stuff.

G: Ah, yeah.

Siddhananda: Calcification. Times of sorrow.

G: Yeah, you just become petrified.

Siddhananda: Right. Times of sorrow and not being present. Not standing up for herself. Those kinds of things. Letting people walk on them and also just shrinking in life … shrinking to it.

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: And sort of getting into their own calcification and isolation from whatever experiences, or whatever persona they clung to as being this way or that. Yeah. So let’s see what they desire. They do desire light, but they do feel really hardened. It doesn’t sound like in a mean way. It’s more in an isolating [way].

G: No, it’s not in a mean way. It’s just a self protective way.

Siddhananda: That’s it exactly. More like a really hard casing.

G: You have to understand that when you are trying to protect yourself, you are just putting yourself in a prison.

Siddhananda: Yeah.

G: So, are they ready to open the prison door and walk out of it. They can walk out of that prison. They don’t have to keep themselves in that.

Siddhananda: Yeah, I do see a hard box or prison. The door is open. But it is still pretty, pretty solid.

G: Oh yeah, it’s pretty solid and it will be. They are going to have to take the initiative to step out of that door. But that door is open. It’s not locked and they can step out of it, for sure.

Siddhananda: Boy, I’ll tell you, prison sometimes looks better than this because at least it has bars. But this is a heavy, heavy cement box with not even much light coming in there.

G: Yeah, they really have themselves closed in, yeah. So, I want them to, at this present time, to do inwardly the “I Am That I Am” and connect with that God center, that God light within that burns and gives them life.

Siddhananda: (pause) Okay. I can feel more energy moving within the cell. I don’t even see them. It’s just so enclosed.

G: Right. So I now ask also that some of those beings of light would come to their doorway and hold their hand through so that that being can hold their hand and come out.

Siddhananda: (pause) Okay, so that’s there for them. They are not stepping out. They are kind of in there. I can see a little image of someone sitting, but turned away. More just there in their own world. That light is there, but they’re not [responding]. At least, I can see in there a little bit more.

G: So, let’s connect with them again. Do you want the freedom?

Siddhananda: What are you asking? (motioning to try to hear spirit)

G: Do they want the freedom?

Siddhananda: Okay. (pause) They do desire freedom.

G: Then they need to ask Christ to take up their bed. You need to stand up.

Siddhananda: The light is trying to help them up, but they are not wanting to stand up. I’m feeling something got to its feet a little bit.

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: They are just almost like they had to be pulled up like this heavy thing. They couldn’t get their legs [under themselves].

G: Right. Again, you have to find that there is strength within you and you can stand up. All you have to believe is that what I am telling you is the truth and stand up, and go towards the door. There are hands stretched through the doorway for you to grab. And they will be more than happy to help give you strength and move you through.

Siddhananda: Yeah, it feels like the light has come more within that boxed area, and kind of helping them up, but then they are not really wanting to use their legs.

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: Their legs keep collapsing under them. They are back down and then they are being helped up.

G: So, at this point, real quick, I’m going to … (long silence, closed eyes). I’m just going to relay this to them. So, you cannot just sit and think about it. You need to just listen and get up and do it. Don’t 'try' to do it, just stand up and do it.

Siddhananda: Right, and I was telling them you need to walk. You need to walk. Get up and walk, because they are just wanting to limp along.

G: Exactly. Because that’s their free will. If she is not going to even manage her free will that much, nobody can aid her. This has to come within her. Everybody is there to help her, but she has to make that initial standing up. That’s all she has to do.

Siddhananda: Okay, because I do see the light trying to help her up. But, still I see a person with some bandages on. They are limping.

G: Right.

Siddhananda: Limping along like they just have none of that strength in there, within themselves, to even move their legs one in front of the other.

G: Right.

Siddhananda: And then the bandages, the gauze and stuff.

G: She has to let go of the pity party and all of the drama that she had.

Siddhananda: For sure. I am seeing some more light resonating from her heart, which is good.

G: Good.

Siddhananda: So, I’m feeling that, which is feeling different. And then she’s got the light trying to help, but she’s just like not wanting to get her legs to work well. She’s still gauzed up.

G: She can do it. She can do it. One hundred percent, she can do it.

Siddhananda: She’s saying, “Help me! Help me!”

G: We can help you, but she has got to help herself [first]. Remember God helps those that help themselves. This is what that means. This means you have to take the first step.

Siddhananda: The light is trying to encourage her out and things.

G: Exactly.

Siddhananda: She’s still all gauzed up, her face, hands, legs.

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: Just kind of mummified.

G: Yeah, mummified there. (laughing)

Siddhananda: Yeah, mummified, like the living dead. That’s what it looks like (laughing), [with how she's] moving that way.

G: She needs to stand up.

Siddhananda: She is walking, but it looks like the living dead. That’s what it looks like.

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: She does have some light in her heart [within] this scene. There is some light emanating from her heart.

G: Once she reaches out [for the help], that pulls her out and take off those bandages.

Siddhananda: She’s still in her cage. There’s some light coming in through her cage and some light in her heart. She is going to try and blindly walk towards that light. But she’s completely covered up like a mummy and the way she is walking so stiff.

Spirit: Help me!

G: Yeah, well, that’s all she has to do. They’ve got her hand and [will just] pull.

Siddhananda: Maybe we can let that one sit a little while. The light is there, trying to usher her out.

G: Yeah, they will get her out.

Siddhananda: You want me to put it aside and we’ll check in a little bit? Or do you want to leave this one? What did you want to do with this?

G: You can put her aside. We’ve got a few we can work with for a little while.

Siddhananda: She needs some time there. It’s going to take a while. So, okay, we’ll leave that one aside and go on to the next one.

Pool of Consciousness

Siddhananda: So, let's see what this next little tidbit has to say (holding up a small square stone with rounded edges) ... tidbit of energeee (saying this in a sing song voice).

G:  It's the one that looks like the little candy (smiling).

Siddhananda: I know that! I knew... see, I was thinking that! (laughing)

G:  It's like a little caramel (laughing).

Siddhananda:  ... a little caramel ... I know, it's cute! (smiling) Okay, I just hear, "Mental waves are dying. Freedom awaits."

G: Mental waves are dying ... okay, that's good!

Siddhananda:  Freedom awaits.

G:  Right, that's good. Yeah, the more those mental waves die down, the more one is free of the thoughts.  Then, of course, the freedom is going to come from that ... for sure.

Siddhananda:  Simple but true.

G:  Absolutely.

Siddhananda:  So, they are feeling those mental waves are dying for them ... vanishing ... as well as for many of humanity. That kind of thing is beginning to stir up as well as vanish. They are reaching in this small pool of what's happening with them, but also in this larger pool.

G:  It's on the cosmic level as well ... on the macro- and microcosm, yes.

Siddhananda:  Yes, ... in the larger pool of consciousness. I see a small pool that a lot of people live in. They live there. They play there. So, they're kind of there, and they're crowed in there, too, with some other souls in that swimming pool of mind, or consciousness. I'm seeing that the cement of that pool needs to be broken apart.

G:  Right, that's why we're putting the COS out there.

Siddhananda:  For sure ... OH! (smiling wide and nodding with vigor)

G:  They're all swimming in the same pool of consciousness ... let's put it that way!

Siddhananda:  That's right. Perfect. That's it exactly! And, so, that cement needs be broken up with something like a sledgehammer, or something.

G:  Yes, exactly.

Siddhananda:  It's so that it can run out into the greater good  ... out into the greater, universal consciousness ... because people are so preoccupied with their entertainment, their life, all their things, and all of these kinds of things. So, this spirit is just showing that this is the kind of pool where they're just out there having fun  ... but, there's work to be done, people! This is what they want to say.

G:  Yeah, if you want to progress, you've got to put the work in. You have to see that there's something of more value than the external stuff. So many people don't even see that. They're just caught up in the externals and stuff ... and try to cover over, and not look.

Siddhananda:  And, that's the thing with how it is so much in a lot of cases. I think that was just about all. The message is just to break through that, start listening, open up.

G:  That's the admonition for people to just start waking up.

Siddhananda: Yeah! So, it's really kind of nice. Thank you.

Time of Awakening

The spirit says, "Shadows passing over the moon... time of awakening, freedom." The image of a full moon with some cloud coverage over it is reflected. "Stages" is heard. The spirit just reflects that and says, "Get your seat belts on because there is quite a bit of energy coming through. Buckle up!"

The roller coaster ride is coming for some. 

Imagery of ripe fruit appears. For those that are ready and open there is some ripe fruit coming. The spirit reflects lots of explosive energy.

Big shakeups are coming, both consciously and probably in the world. This time there’s a lot of things that are happening. So don’t be surprised at what you see, just maintain your own Path within yourself. Continue going forward and don’t get too caught up in the externals that are going on around.

Buckle up for safety!

Dance of Shiva

This is the creation-destruction tandeva of Shiva Nataraj symbolizing the dance of life, the leela. This spirit message is speaking to the spiral of life, the dance of freedom. The Nataraj is a symbol of freedom in its ecstatic dance. 

This is the message: Be true to yourself and don't waver off on the wrong courses. There are so many roads you can get lost in. Stay present. Stay true to yourself, the Pure Self.

Do not mistake the Self to be the ego self. What is being spoken of here is the Pure Self. Some people wrap it around the personal self, what I want, what I can manifest for me. That is not this at all. That is the shadow side. A hand is being shown to push that away (meaning ignore it). The pure Self is what you come into alignment with. That is being true to yourself. Let the dance of Shiva rock your world and find that freedom within.

Image: Shiva Naturaj is standing on the little ego, dancing on its head and that little ego is down with its tongue out. It is done, over and then there is just the play of life that remains.
