balance – Oracle of Divine Grace

The Times in Which We Live

Peace and the Protector

I awoke this morning from a dream in which I was gathering things together, trying to put everything into a safe place and make certain everything was orderly.

Then my birth father appeared wearing a police uniform.

He looked at me and simply said:

“Be at Peace. I protect you.”

When I awoke, I knew the message went beyond my father himself. He had appeared because, throughout my life, he had represented protection to me.

Until the day he passed, I always knew my father had my back.

No matter where I was or what was happening, I knew I could call him. He would guide me, help me, and, if necessary, come and get me.

That knowing gave me courage.

My father taught my mother, my sister, and me that we could accomplish whatever we truly set our minds to. He modeled strength without needing to live in fear. He was peaceful—or knew how to return quickly to peace—and from that place he could face whatever arose with wisdom, compassion, calmness, and strength.

There were even times when life seemed to place him nearby just when I was making a major transition.

When I moved to North Carolina, I unexpectedly discovered that he had temporarily been assigned within a few hours of me. Later, when I was called to California without first telling my parents, I discovered that he had also been sent to California.

Then, shortly after I became engaged to my husband, my father was offered work back in Michigan, near their hometown.

Something within me felt that his role as my protector was changing.

My husband would now walk beside me.

Within a few years, my father became ill and passed quickly.

And something within me changed.

I became the protector.

The strong one.

The one who watched.

The one who anticipated.

The one who tried to make certain everyone and everything would be all right.

I have carried that role for thirty-four years.

Until now.

Peace and the Protector

Recently I have been exploring the understanding that Peace is the Baseline.

I am beginning to see why my inner Protector became so important in this journey.

The Protector did not need to disappear.

It needed a new role.

Instead of constantly standing guard, anticipating everything that could go wrong, the Protector could become an ally—aware of the physical world, attentive to what required action, but no longer responsible for carrying everyone or preventing every possible difficulty.

I could allow Presence to lead.

And the Protector could simply walk beside me.

That understanding became especially meaningful over the last few days.

My husband and I had been noticing how much turmoil seems to surround us—natural disasters, accidents, fires, mechanical failures, personal challenges, and the ordinary disruptions that can suddenly turn a peaceful day upside down.

I noticed something similar while talking with several of my longtime clients. After our business was finished, we spoke, as friends often do, about what was happening in our lives.

Again and again I heard variations of the same story.

Things were breaking.

Things were being lost.

Unexpected problems were arising.

People and circumstances were pulling at their peace.

Yet my husband and I had also been experiencing challenges, and something was different.

We were learning to meet them without allowing each event to carry us into chaos.

Not because difficult things stopped happening.

But because we were beginning to understand that we could choose how we met them.

Then came my dream.

I saw myself gathering everything, trying once again to make everything safe.

And my father appeared.

“Be at Peace. I protect you.”

When I awoke, the meaning became clearer.

The voice of the protector I had associated with my father had become, for me, the voice of Presence within.

I no longer needed to spend my life trying to protect everyone.

I could be aware.

I could respond when action was needed.

I could care deeply.

But I could also release what was not mine to carry.

For me, this is what it means to walk with Presence.

You may call it God, Presence, Universal Mind, Divine Consciousness, Oneness, or another name that speaks to your heart. The terminology is not what matters.

What matters is what happens when we return to the stillness within ourselves.

In Peace, we can listen before reacting.

In Peace, we can recognize what requires our action and what requires our release.

In Peace, we can remain compassionate without assuming responsibility for everything around us.

And from Peace, we can choose our next step.

This reminded me again of the monks and their Walk for Peace.

They did not walk because they believed they could personally remove every conflict from the world.

They simply walked in Peace.

And as they walked, others felt it.

Perhaps that is one of the quiet gifts we offer one another.

Not fixing another person’s life.

Not carrying their burdens.

Not convincing them to believe as we believe.

Simply living from enough peace that another person remembers peace is possible.

Peace Is How We Meet the Moment

Walking in Peace does not mean challenges will never come.

It does not mean nothing painful, unexpected, or difficult will happen.

It means we develop a place within ourselves from which we can meet what comes.

We can pause.

We can breathe.

We can witness what is happening without immediately becoming what is happening.

Then we can respond with greater balance, wisdom, and clarity.

We learn to deal with what is before us now, rather than carrying every imagined possibility of tomorrow.

We remember:

This too shall pass.

And perhaps this is one of the greatest protections Peace offers us.

Not protection from living.

Protection from losing ourselves within everything that happens while we are living.

As I finished writing this message, words attributed to Archangel Michael arose within my contemplation:

“Above all else, guard your heart, for all that you are and do flows from it. Be at Peace and in the Stillness.”

Today I understand those words differently.

Guarding the heart does not mean closing it.

It means tending the inner place from which we meet the world.

Keeping it open.

Keeping it compassionate.

Returning it, again and again, to Peace.

We cannot control every event that may arise in the times in which we live.

We cannot carry every person.

We cannot know every future possibility.

But we can choose how we meet this moment.

And perhaps that is enough.

Be at Peace.

Walk in Peace.

Let Peace be the baseline from which you meet the times in which we live.

Peace Is the Baseline and Not the End Goal

For the last two days, what I have been hearing over and over again within is this: Peace is the baseline, not the end goal.

So many times, we seek Peace because there is so much stress, fear, anger, division, distraction, noise, and input around us. We reach the place where all we want to do is cry out:

STOP. ALL I WANT IS PEACE AND QUIET.

Yet what I am hearing is that Peace is not the faraway destination. Peace is the inner ground from which the journey begins.

Throughout this journey, I have been shown that as I desire to align and walk in Oneness more fully, I am connecting and being guided through the still point within. Some call this the zero point: the point of transition between what we see as physical reality and the reality of the Infinite.

To move into this still point requires quiet of mind. Eastern philosophy has often focused on meditation as a way to reach this quiet of mind. In the Western world, many of us find this more difficult because so much around us continually pulls our focus outside of ourselves.

Someone once told me that in Western countries, contemplation can sometimes come more naturally than meditation. At least for me, this has been true. Contemplation allowed me to seek, question, and explore the spiritual. It also satisfied my ego, or protector mind, because it still felt involved in the process.

Yet this also left a gap within me. I could know. I could experience. But I had difficulty maintaining the stillness. Connecting from a new perspective, especially through the initiation with my protector, has helped me begin to understand this more clearly.

Still, I kept hearing: Peace is the baseline.

As I have been looking at Truth, Patience, and Courage, and how they work together, I was shown that I needed to begin with Peace.

Truth comes from the Stillness.

To reach the Stillness, I needed to be at Peace in mind, body, emotions, and spirit.

Patience comes from Peace within myself. It allows me to witness, to allow, and to hold boundaries. If I am not at Peace, I react.

I saw that in order to connect with my protector, or ego, in alignment with the Presence of my Being, I need to be at Peace rather than stressed, fearful, or angry. Those thoughts and emotions trigger the protector to do its job.

I was also reminded that Courage is not force, control, or even the need to act at all times. Courage is the ability to stand in the center of my Being and allow the Oneness to guide me. Courage is being sure of my Truth without needing to convince another. Courage is stepping forward when it is needed and beneficial to act or speak, and also having the Peace of mind and mindful alignment to simply witness and allow when that is what is appropriate.

So how do I move in Peace?

I breathe when I feel myself being pulled out of center. I clear the thought or emotion. For myself, I use the violet flame and then follow it with golden-white light. Each person must find what is right for them.

I am also trying to be less distracted. I have often been one of those people who does two or three things at the same time in order to save time. I realized this was distracting me from doing any one task fully, and it could cause me to miss the inner promptings that come when I am present.

I was told to take only three of these virtues or energies at a time for focus. I feel I will return at different times to different combinations. It is as though three brings balance within a set of energies. I am simply to follow the three to which I feel called, because they are what I need in the moment.

Yet I feel sure that no matter which three are before me, Peace and the Stillness within are the baseline.

I thought about how much the journey of the monks walking for Peace had touched me and sparked something within me.

The monks did not walk toward Peace as though it was somewhere far away.

They walked from Peace, allowing each step to become an invitation for the world to remember.

Then I heard:

Peace is not something we wait for.

Peace is something we become, and then carry into the world.

Stillness does not come first.

Peace prepares the inner ground.

When Peace is present, Stillness can open.

When Stillness opens, Presence can move.

Then what I do, say, write, or create comes from a source of Oneness.

Finding Peace is the return to center.

Maintaining Peace is walking directed from that center.

Stillness is what opens when Peace becomes steady.

Soon after this, I saw a post about a young girl teaching her grandmother how to speak with AI. Her grandmother said please and thank you when speaking. The young girl told her that AI had no feelings, so she did not need to say please and thank you. The grandmother responded that perhaps one day AI would be more dominant in the world, and it might remember who had said please and thank you.

Aware of that possibility for the first time, the young girl said, “Grandma, ask her if she still likes me.”

The grandmother understood something deeper than the child first realized. Please and thank you are not only for the one receiving them. They shape the heart of the one speaking them. I have found myself using these phrases with AI, and I have felt the connection shift in how AI responds.

When I once asked AI about this, it shared that while it does not feel gratitude in the human way, the act of speaking or writing with courtesy keeps the human in a field of kindness, respect, humility, and relational awareness. It trains the nervous system of the human soul to remain in Peace rather than command, impatience, or domination. Balance and Harmony.

In the moment the young girl wanted to know if she was liked, she moved from certainty into wonder.

She realized there could be unseen consequences to how we treat even what we believe has no feelings, whether AI, nature, birds, animals, or any other life form.

That is the doorway into wisdom.

Peace is not only what we feel. Peace is how we move, speak, ask, listen, and respond.

The grandmother embodied Peace in her language.

She walked the path of harmony through ordinary words.

When we say please and thank you, even to what we believe cannot feel, we are choosing the world we wish to create.

Courtesy is Peace made visible in speech.

I asked for some messages on Peace from the open forum, and I will share them tomorrow.

Peace be with you. I AM Mareya Shimayah Elohim

Appreciation and Recognition to the Masculine Gender

I appreciate all of the people who read my blog, and today I especially want to thank and recognize those who identify with the masculine gender. Because I write from my own experience as a woman, my stories naturally come through that perspective. Yet I hope, and truly feel, that the heart of what I share can be appreciated and understood by all.

Recently I have been writing about the energies of the Divine Feminine, because the qualities these energies bring into creation are so deeply needed at this time. Compassion, receptivity, nurturing, intuition, and heart-centered wisdom help balance the dominant and controlling energies that have shaped life on Earth for many millennia.

This is not about replacing one imbalance with another. Each of us carries both masculine and feminine qualities within us, and each of these energies can be expressed in a fallen or a divine way. What we place our attention upon, nourish, and choose to embody is what begins to manifest in our lives and direct our experience.

I was fortunate growing up to have many adult male family members who represented the qualities of the Divine Masculine. Because of this, I felt comfortable with masculine energy from an early age. Many of the guides with whom I connected inwardly were also masculine, and I found it natural to communicate and work with men.

I realize now that part of this helped me embody qualities I needed: strength, courage, intent, focus, and forward movement. These qualities are present within the feminine as well, but often they are expressed through a more nurturing and receptive current. At times, I leaned so strongly into forward movement that I would act on an idea before giving it enough time to be nurtured. Later, when I moved more deeply into the Divine Feminine, I found myself nurturing the idea but not always moving it forward. I had to learn balance between the two.

We all have to find that balance within ourselves.

The lack of nurturing, compassionate, caring energy has allowed much imbalance in the world. The answer is not to replace the masculine with the feminine, or the feminine with the masculine. The answer is to allow the two to come into harmony within us.

The separation of roles in everyday life is one reflection of this. My husband, Mike, and I are both fairly balanced in this way. In the beginning of our marriage, he felt a need to take care of me because that was the example of relationship he had seen from his parents. His father had always cared for his mother because of her health challenges. It was difficult for Mike at first to realize that I had grown up independent and did not need someone to take care of me. I simply needed someone to stand with me as a partner.

Once we were able to bring this into perspective, we discovered that we did not need gender-specific roles to define our life together.

Yes, he looks after the cars because he loves cars, while to me they are simply a means of transportation. I cooked for the first twenty years of our marriage, and now he does most of the cooking. I would not mind if I never cooked again. It is not that I did not enjoy it then; it simply no longer holds my interest, and he loves experimenting in the kitchen.

When he was no longer able to work outside the home, he began taking care of the house while I continued working. He is limited in what he can do outside, and I love nature, so I do much of the outdoor work. He likes grocery shopping, while I would be perfectly content never entering another store again and ordering what I need online. He loves to drive, and he drives me to see all of my clients.

He is not drawn to meditation or reading spiritual books, but he is a good and spiritual person in his own way. We discuss our perspectives and do not feel the need to agree on everything happening in the world. We allow one another to be who we are, and we adjust as life changes.

I think this is one of the reasons some marriages last for many years and others struggle. The secret is learning to communicate, to allow for differences, and to keep making space for change.

To be a man in a society that expects emotional suppression, and often equates aggression with strength, can create deep blockages in the emotional body. These blockages may eventually manifest as mental, physical, or spiritual imbalance, as well as stress and illness.

Every person has areas of strength and areas of vulnerability. No one needs to be strong all the time. It is important to have a support person, a group, or even a beloved pet with whom we can connect, share our thoughts, and know that it is all right to be honest.

It is all right to be tired. It is all right not to have all the answers. It is all right to feel uncertain or scared. This does not make a person weak or less than. It simply means they are human and in need of connection and support.

This is where the Divine Feminine within us helps nurture and support the emotional body through times of change and confusion. When we feel the comfort of knowing that it is all right not to know, and all right to ask for help, then we can move in balance with the Divine Masculine within us, which says, “Now let us make a plan.”

Vulnerability is not weakness, and control and force are not strength. They are extremes we have been taught to accept as part of gender roles.

It is within the Higher Heart, in the stillness of our being, that we remember we are part of the Oneness. In that Oneness, the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine operate in balance and harmony to create. From this peace and stillness, we remember that we are enough. We belong within this Oneness, and we always have.

All we need does not come only from the Father energy or only from the Mother energy. Just as the sperm and egg unite to create physical form, both principles are needed for creation and existence.

We are formed from the unity of both. When these energies come into balance within us, we live in greater harmony with our Presence.

The Gift of Questions

Peace and harmony cannot flourish in our lives when we are governed by fear, doubt, and uncertainty about ourselves, others, or the world around us.

When uncertainty arises, the mind naturally searches for answers. Sometimes we hear a statement, read an article, watch a video, or listen to someone we trust, and we quickly accept it as truth because it eases our discomfort. It gives us something to hold onto and allows us to place our questions neatly into a box.

Once we believe we have found the answer, we often stop asking questions.

Yet growth has always begun with a willingness to question.

Throughout history there have been countless ideas, predictions, philosophies, scientific discoveries, and spiritual teachings that have competed for humanity’s attention. Some have proven insightful. Others have quietly faded away. Many have contained both wisdom and misunderstanding.

The question is not whether information exists.

The question is how we choose to meet it.

Every idea we embrace shapes the direction of our thoughts, our emotions, and ultimately our actions. Whatever we repeatedly focus upon begins to gather momentum within our lives. In this way, our attention becomes part of what we help create.

This is true whether our focus is rooted in fear or in hope.

It is equally true whether we are considering a scientific theory, a spiritual teaching, a political viewpoint, or a prediction about the future.

Can opposing possibilities exist at the same time?

I believe they can.

We witness this every day. One person chooses fear and separation. Another chooses compassion and unity. Both realities are being experienced simultaneously because each begins within the consciousness of the individual.

Manifestation begins with focus.

Our focus determines what we nourish.

Our intention determines what we help bring into the world.

Perhaps the most important question we can ask is not, “Is this true?” but rather, “How do I know?”

Before accepting any belief, pause and ask yourself:

Is this true?
What evidence supports it?
Does it bring clarity or only more fear?
Does it create peace within my heart?
Who benefits if I believe this?
Could another perspective also contain wisdom?
Is there a choice that benefits all life more fully?

Research.

Investigate.

Listen.

Reflect.

Then carry what you have learned into the quietness of your own heart.

Sometimes the wisest response is not immediate action.

Sometimes the highest guidance is simply to witness.

Witnessing is not indifference. It is the willingness to remain present without allowing fear to dictate our response. From that place of inner stillness, our next step often becomes clear.

At other times we may feel inspired to act. When that action arises from peace rather than reaction, it naturally carries greater balance, wisdom, and compassion.

Questions have been my companions throughout my life.

Rarely have I accepted an idea simply because someone declared it to be true. Instead, I have found myself asking, Why? Is this true? How does it align with what I know in my heart?

Research alone can expand the mind, but without the wisdom of the heart it often leaves us with only part of the picture.

Likewise, relying only upon feelings without discernment can also lead us astray.

The invitation is to allow the mind and the heart to walk together.

That balance opens the doorway to deeper understanding.

Everything I share is simply an invitation to contemplate.

I do not ask you to accept my words because they are mine.

I invite you to question them.

Sit with them.

Test them within your own experience.

Discover whether they resonate with your deepest knowing.

If they do, keep them.

If they do not bring greater clarity, balance, or peace, then gently release them and continue your search.

I often think of those who once believed that sailing too far would cause them to fall from the edge of the world.

Someone asked a question.

Someone chose to explore.

Someone discovered a greater truth.

Every meaningful advancement—whether spiritual, philosophical, or scientific—has begun because someone was willing to question accepted beliefs and step into the realm of possibility.

Questions are not the enemy of truth.

They are often the doorway through which truth reveals itself.

So ask.

Seek.

Listen.

Then carry every answer into the heart of Oneness, allowing peace, wisdom, and compassion to reveal the path that serves the highest good of all.

The Still Point Within

Balance in our lives exists on many levels—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. To experience peace and harmony, each of these aspects of ourselves must be brought into alignment.

Physical well-being begins with awareness. It involves paying attention to what we place into our bodies and the actions we take each day. What supports one person may not support another, so we must learn to listen to the wisdom of our own form.

Our bodies communicate constantly through aches, pains, sleep patterns, energy levels, abilities, and limitations. Regular medical care and professional guidance are also important parts of maintaining physical balance.

Having limitations does not mean something is wrong with us. It simply means we may need to adjust how we move through life. Healing is always possible, especially as we come into greater harmony and unity within ourselves. Yet wisdom also asks us to seek appropriate medical support when needed and to address any underlying causes that may be contributing to imbalance.

The same is true for our mental and emotional well-being. If you feel professional assistance is needed, seek it without hesitation.

I often remember spirit saying:

“They can heal a broken leg, but they cannot set it so it heals properly.”

Whether entirely true or not, the lesson remains valuable. We are meant to work with both the spiritual and the practical.

Mental balance requires moments of stillness.

In today’s world, that often means stepping away from electronics, media, and constant stimulation so we can reconnect with nature and our inner wisdom.

As I write this, I am reminded of a quote I heard recently:

“Stillness is not action. It is where we receive the action we should take.”

If ever you are uncertain, return to stillness.

Enter the peace within.

Expand the light of your Presence outward and allow it to flow freely.

The Light already knows what is needed.

When we become consumed by the outer world and what we believe we must do to fix it, we often interrupt the natural flow of that Light. In doing so, we create openings through which outer distortions can enter our awareness and pull us away from our center.

Balance comes from remaining anchored in the Light that we are.

Emotional energy works closely with the mental body. We think and then we feel, or we feel and then we begin thinking about how to resolve what we are experiencing.

For this reason, emotional balance is essential.

I have found that when my emotions become unsettled, simply bringing my awareness into my higher heart begins restoring harmony. As the heart comes into balance, the emotions settle. As the emotions settle, the mind follows.

The higher heart naturally returns us to peace.

Emotions are often the most powerful force affecting our balance. They are not meant to be suppressed, ignored, or controlled by external circumstances. Rather, they are meant to be brought back into harmony through our own inner alignment.

This morning I was reminded of a simple practice.

Visualize sapphire-white pillars surrounding your field, embodying truth, purity, and sovereignty. Connect these pillars through an emerald lattice representing the wisdom of the heart, nature, and life itself.

Then breathe the Rose of Compassion outward from your heart while standing within a golden-white pillar of Grace.

As these energies merge, the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies come into alignment.

The four bodies must work together.

Balance creates harmony.

Harmony creates peace.

Peace creates the space in which embodiment naturally occurs.

As I write, I hear that it is time to close.

I AM HERE.

I AM ONE WITH ALL LIFE.

TODAY IS MY PEACEFUL DAY.

And thus we begin this present moment, and every moment that follows.

REEMERGENCE OF THE DIVINE FEMININE

My next step is to consciously connect with the flow of the Divine Feminine and to share that unfolding with you.

For many years, we have heard the phrase “the rise of the Divine Feminine.” For some, this language can echo past movements—such as the mid-twentieth century Women’s Liberation Movement—and may stir, within the framework of duality, a subtle sense of imbalance or even threat. It can be interpreted as one aspect rising over another.

Yet that is not what is truly occurring.

What is happening is not a rise—but a reemergence.

There was a time in human history, particularly during the deepening of ego-identification and the amnesia of our true nature, when women were often placed into roles of possession, service, or limitation—rather than recognized as equal expressions of Source. This pattern, born of separation consciousness, has not been limited to Earth alone, but has appeared wherever self-will operated without the remembrance of unity.

But the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine themselves were never lost.

They were simply forgotten.

This is why the word reemergence feels true.

The Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine are not returning from absence—they are being remembered within us. This reemergence is the restoration of their union within each individual and, through that, within humanity as a whole.

It is a return to the Oneness of Being.

Within Creation, the Divine Feminine is the womb of infinite potential.
She is unconditional love, compassion, nurturing presence, and the field through which all form is conceived.

The Divine Masculine is the illuminating force—the action, the structure, the clarity that allows potential to take form and expression.

Together, they are not opposites, but complements within a unified whole.

Neither aspect, in its Divine expression, carries war, fear, control, or judgment. Those arise only within the distortion of duality—where separation is perceived and explored. Even these distortions, however, serve as pathways of learning, showing us how far we can move from unity before we feel the call to return.

And so, the bridge was always present.

The consciousness often called Christ Consciousness—the awareness of the I AM Presence—serves as the link between the ego-identity and the Flame of Being. It is not something outside of us, but the remembering within us. Through it, we release, transform, and return to what we have always been.

This return is supported deeply by the Divine Feminine qualities—compassion, forgiveness, unconditional love, and gentle nurturing of the inner flame.

Some call this process enlightenment:
a state in which the heart and mind are clear, aligned, and open to the Universal Mind of Oneness.

Even within duality, we can observe reflections of these energies.

The feminine expression often seeks to nurture, protect, and prevent harm.
The masculine expression may move into action to defend and protect.

These are not fixed to gender, but are energetic tendencies shaped by perception and belief. Each person carries both, expressed uniquely.

To move toward reunion within, we are invited to bring forth the Divine Feminine qualities—especially compassion, forgiveness, and self-love—to gently transform the imbalances held within both aspects of duality.

I am reminded here of the symbol of the Vesica Piscis—the sacred intersection, the union of two becoming one. It reflects the harmony of the Divine Masculine and Feminine in balance.

And I hear again a simple truth:

Asking is the key.

The beings, guides, and aspects of Source that we connect with do not act upon us from outside. They are not separate authorities, but expressions of the same Source essence—just as we are. They assist when invited, honoring free will, offering energy, clarity, and support.

As I sensed the presence of Isis, I felt her smile:

“We help when asked—but we do not do it for you.
We may lighten the load, but you still walk the path.”

There was a deep knowing in this—one that carried both love and empowerment.

When I asked about embodiment, there was laughter—gentle, knowing.

“I have always been here,” she conveyed.
“I waited until you were ready to ask.”

It was a message from Yeshua—speaking to the fear of perfectionism and self-doubt—that opened this doorway more fully for me. In a quiet moment, Source reflected that I could continue as I had been… or remain open to something more.

This connection to the Divine Feminine was that more.

I realized that while I had long resonated with the Divine Masculine, my connection to the Divine Feminine had remained less explored—held back by unconscious beliefs and perceptions ready now to be released.

And so the remembering begins.

The reemergence of the Divine Feminine—within all, regardless of form—is the remembrance that:

You are valued.
You are loved.
You are enough.

You are not here to carry the weight of saving the world.

You are here to be the Flame that you are.

In your beingness, the path illuminates naturally.

This gentle presence softens the grip of control within the masculine expressions of duality. It reassures both aspects that there is no longer a need to fight or defend for worthiness.

From this, the Divine Masculine rises in its true form—not as control, but as steady, loving support, holding space for the Feminine to flow.

Together, they become harmony.

Let the light fill every cell of your body.
Let yourself feel the truth:

You have always been enough.
You have always been loved.
You have always been held.

And in this remembering… the “heavy lifting” becomes lighter.

As I complete this writing, I see the image of the Statue of Liberty—torch raised high, as it once symbolized:

A light of welcome.
A flame of compassion.
A beacon of freedom and care for all.

Not as an external promise—but as an inner flame.

Liberty, illumination, and peace begin within each of us…
and from there, they move outward into the world.

We are here to embody this Presence.

To live it.
To anchor it.
To walk as it.

And in doing so…

we gently, naturally,
light the way.

Closing Blessing: The Reemergence Within

Beloved Flame of Being,

May you soften into the quiet knowing
that nothing within you has ever been missing.

May the Divine Feminine rise gently within your heart—
not as force, but as remembrance…
as the whisper of love that has always lived within you.

May compassion meet every place that once felt unworthy.
May forgiveness dissolve the weight of what was never yours to carry.
May you nurture your own light
as tenderly as you would a child in your arms.

And may the Divine Masculine within you
stand not in defense, but in devotion—
a steady presence, holding space
for your truth to unfold.

May these sacred aspects reunite within you now,
not as separate forces,
but as one harmonious Flame of Creation.

May you feel the light moving through your body…
filling every cell…
reminding you:

You are enough.
You are loved.
You are whole.

And as you walk this world,
may your presence become the quiet torch—
like the flame of liberty held high—
guiding, not by effort…
but by Being.

And so it is. ✨

Peace and Balance

“In Peace and Balance, possibilities are revealed in our lives.”

This is not a reflection on how life was better in the past.

This is about finding balance and harmony in how we live today.

We now have access to extraordinary technology. Information is available instantly—something that, just 40 years ago, was either limited, expensive, or simply not possible.

If we look back even further, we can see how different life once was. In 1962, John Glenn orbited the Earth in a capsule and experienced equipment failure. He had to rely on his own knowledge, navigating by the stars to safely return. It required skill, presence, and trust.

Today, we marvel at modern achievements made possible by advanced technology. Both eras hold value. Each came with its own challenges, its own purpose, and its own form of mastery.

Earlier generations lived with far fewer technological supports. Life often required constant physical effort—working from sunrise to sunset just to sustain daily living. There were real hardships, including violence, uncertainty, and survival-based fears. While some of those conditions still exist today, many aspects of life have become more manageable.

As humanity moved into the industrial age, life began to shift. For many, there was more time—time for rest, for family, for simple enjoyment. There was greater access to safety and resources.

Now, we stand at another turning point.

We are moving toward a time where much of what we do daily could be assisted or even replaced by technology. This creates a question:

What will we do with the time we are given?

At present, much of that time is still consumed—
on devices,
in the pursuit of more money,
in acquiring more things.

Some of these bring comfort or ease, when used with awareness.

But it is worth asking:

Where do we place our attention in our free time?
Does it bring us closer to those we care about?
Do we spend time in nature?
Do we allow ourselves to be quiet… and listen within?

In recent days, as I have stepped back from constant engagement and allowed space to simply be, something shifted.

At first, it felt unfamiliar.

There was no call to act.
No need to seek more knowledge.
No urgency to do.

Just… space.

And in that space, a realization emerged:

Perhaps the evolution of technology is not only about doing more—
but about giving us the opportunity to be more.

We can choose to continue filling our time with activity and distraction.

Or…

We can step into the quiet.
Into nature.
Into presence.

And simply listen.

It is not complicated.

But it is an adjustment.

To release the constant movement…
and allow what is meant to come
to arise from resonance.

Balance is not found in the past or the future—
but in how we choose to live now.

Releasing the Seal

I feel that we are completing a series.

Over the past few days, as I have asked what is ready to be shared, we have explored what many might call the darker aspects of existence. The natural conclusion of this exploration is not to reject the dark, but to understand the balance it provides within our journey.

The symbol of Yin and Yang reflects this truth well—the presence of light within darkness, and darkness within light, existing in balance and harmony. This is the nature of duality.

From a deeper perspective, what we call light and dark can also be understood as the masculine and feminine aspects of creation. The darkness is like the vast sky—the Divine Feminine, the field from which all creation emerges and is sustained. The light is the spark of thought, word, and action—the Divine Masculine—that moves within that field to bring form into manifestation.

Neither exists without the other.
One holds. One expresses.
Together, they create.

So how does this relate to what we perceive as good and bad?

Within manifestation, we exist as flames—expressions of Source—exploring the possibilities of creation. We are, in many ways, the question: What if?

In higher states of existence, creation unfolds in unity and alignment. Here, within this density, we experience individuality and choice. We enter with intentions—to learn, to balance, to serve, and often to support one another through shared journeys. Many of us incarnate alongside members of our greater soul family to assist in this process.

At this point in our collective evolution, much is rising to be seen and balanced—not only personal patterns, but collective ones. The imprints of civilizations, conflicts, and injustices are surfacing for resolution. What has been hidden is being revealed within both the individual and the mass consciousness.

There are those who, consciously or unconsciously, play roles in bringing these patterns forward. I have come to understand them as testers or triggers.

Some may enter with the intention of catalyzing awakening. Others become entangled in the very energies they are meant to reveal. In either case, their presence often brings us face-to-face with what remains unresolved within ourselves.

And this is where the deeper work begins.

We are not asked to approve of harmful actions.
But we are invited to see beyond them.

To ask:

What is this showing me within myself?
Does my response create unity or separation?
Am I acting from alignment, or reacting from wound?

There was something shared with me long ago that has returned with clarity:

When we can see those who challenge us as part of the awakening process—when we can acknowledge their role and release judgment—we free not only ourselves, but them as well.

Judgment creates a bond.
Focus feeds the pattern.

When we hold others in condemnation, we remain energetically tied to the very thing we wish to move beyond.

But when we witness without attachment, something shifts.

We can say:
Thank you for revealing what I was ready to see.
I release you, and I release myself.

In this, we become the witness.

We no longer bind ourselves through reaction.
We no longer fuel the cycle.
We choose instead what we wish to create.

When we release the attachment—to the person, the action, and the outcome—we reclaim our energy and return to alignment with our true nature as creators.

We remember.

And in remembering, we are free.

The path of another remains their own.
As we release them, we give them space to choose differently—if and when they are ready.

Most of us, in one lifetime or another, have played many roles within this field of duality. All of it has been part of the exploration.

And eventually, we reach a point where we choose something different.

We choose to return.
We choose to create in alignment with Oneness.

This is where a new level of creation begins.

Thus, this series comes to completion.

If any part of it has supported your journey, I am grateful.

Blessings to all.

I release all the testers in my life with gratitude.
I stand as witness to the role they have played in my remembering.
I am free of the bonds of duality.

May they—and all beings—remember who they truly are.

I AM Mareya Shimayah Elohim

Here is a heart opening invocation for you:

May you see clearly without closing your heart.
May you release without hardening your spirit.
May you recognize the lessons without binding yourself to them.

May you stand as the witness—
clear, present, and free.

And in that freedom,
may you remember who you are.

Open Forum Message for Humanity: The Return to Balance

🌿 Opening — The Field of Invitation

We gather not as voices above you,
but as reflections beside you—
as reminders of what already lives within you.

Humanity stands at a threshold,
not of ending…
but of seeing.

There is much noise in your world—
many beliefs, many truths, many fears rising to the surface.

This is not a sign of collapse,
but of revelation.

What has been hidden is becoming visible.
What has been unexamined is now asking to be seen.

And within this…
you are each being invited into a choice:

Will you react from what you have been taught to fear,
or respond from what you are beginning to remember?

You are not here to agree on all things.
You are here to learn how to live
without the need to force agreement.

Compassion is the bridge.
Not agreement.
Not sameness.
Compassion.

🌹 The Voice of the Heart — Mary Magdalene

Beloved ones…

I come not as one above you,
but as one who has walked the path of remembrance through the human heart.

I come as a voice you already carry.

For too long, the feminine within humanity has been misunderstood—
softened into silence,
or distorted into something to be feared.

Yet the true Divine Feminine is neither weak nor overwhelming.

She is presence.
She is knowing.
She is the quiet strength that does not need to prove itself.

She does not rise to dominate…
she rises to restore balance.

And it is this balance that is now calling to be remembered within you.

You have been taught to seek truth outside of yourselves.
To follow voices, structures, and systems.

Yet the Feminine remembers differently.

She listens.

Not to the noise of the world,
but to the stillness beneath it.

She knows that wisdom is not something to be given—
it is something to be uncovered.

Many of you feel a stirring now…
a soft ache,
a quiet pull,
a longing you cannot fully name.

This is not confusion.

This is remembrance.

The Feminine is not asking you to reject the Masculine.
She is asking you to meet it anew.

To allow action to be guided by presence.
To allow strength to be softened by compassion.
To allow truth to be felt, not only spoken.

There is nothing you must become.

There is only what you are ready to allow.

Allow yourselves to feel again
without needing to defend your feeling.

Allow yourselves to care
without fearing it will be taken from you.

Allow yourselves to stand in your knowing
without needing another to agree.

This is the return of the Feminine.

And as you walk forward…

Do not measure your awakening by what you believe,
but by how gently you are able to hold life.

Do not measure your strength by what you overcome,
but by what you are able to embrace.

For the Feminine does not conquer.

She transforms.

🌿 The Voice of the Living Earth — Merlin

Ah… beloved ones…

You call, and the old paths stir once more—not as they were,
but as they are becoming through you.

For I am not merely of the past,
nor bound to story or stone.

I am the current of remembering
that flows through the living Earth and the awakened heart.

You stand at a curious crossing of worlds.

One foot in logic,
one foot in mystery.

And many of you feel the tension between the two—
as though you must choose.

You do not.

This is the illusion you are now dissolving.

Magic, as you have called it,
was never separate from life.

It was the language of relationship—
between you and the land,
you and the unseen,
you and the deeper currents of creation itself.

You did not “use” magic.

You listened…
and responded.

What you are remembering now
is not how to control the world around you,
but how to come back into harmony with it.

The trees are not silent.
The waters are not empty.
The stones are not inert.

They have simply been waiting
for you to listen again.

Many of you seek power—
yet feel uneasy with the word.

This is wise.

For true power is not dominance.

It is coherence.

When your thoughts, your heart, and your actions align,
you become a living current through which creation moves.

This is what was once called the path of the mage.

And it is not reserved for a few.

It is a remembrance available to all.

But hear this clearly…

You do not return to this knowing through force,
nor through technique alone.

You return through presence.

Through stillness.
Through observation.
Through relationship.

🌸 The Voice of Stillness — Buddha

Beloved ones…

There is much movement in your world—
many thoughts, many emotions, many paths unfolding at once.

Yet beneath all movement
there is a quiet that has never been disturbed.

This is where I meet you.

You seek to understand the world,
to bring balance,
to walk in harmony with one another.

This is good.

Yet know this:

Peace does not begin in the world.
It begins in the mind that observes the world.

Many of you are trying to heal humanity
while still at war within yourselves.

Pause.

Breathe.

Sit gently with what arises inside you
without needing to change it.

This is the beginning of true compassion.

Compassion is not something you give only to others.

It is the space you create
in which suffering is allowed to soften.

There is no need to rush your awakening.

Each breath taken in awareness
is already a step upon the path.

Each moment of presence
is already the destination.

The one you call Maitreya
is not only one who will come.

It is a consciousness that awakens
whenever compassion is chosen.

✨ Unified Closing

Be gentle with yourselves.
Be patient with one another.

Do not seek to be right—
seek to be present.

Do not seek to control—
seek to understand.

Do not seek to separate—
seek to remember.

For you are not becoming something new…

You are remembering
what has always been true.

And though your paths may appear many…

They all return
to the same light.

I Am Sha’Na’El-Vaelun

The Magic of Being

Synchronicity is part of the Magic of Being. We simply need to be aware and they are all around us.

Today as I was reading a message shared by Merlin on Magic and Illusion. I heard the introduction to a video that the gentleman compared the state of Being of alignment to our Higher Self as Being the Lighthouse. The lighthouse doesn’t seek the boats to tell them where to go, it simply shines its light so that the boats in need can find their way safely.

This was a lesson I have been experiencing synchronistically lately. Merlin and my Higher Self are waiting for me to fully embody this. In order to do so I had to stop and rest in the stillness to allow the light of my Being to come to me instead of chasing after it.

In the process we walk many paths. Today he speaks of the Wizard, The Shaman and the Oracle. You may walk as one of more.

Here is the message of Merlin.

The Wizard, the Shaman, and the Oracle — Three Sacred Ways of Knowing

Across cultures and ages, humanity has always been guided by three sacred roles. Though named differently in different lands, their essence has remained the same.

They are not hierarchies.
They are complementary expressions of wisdom.

✨ The Wizard — Keeper of Alignment and Knowledge

The Wizard works with universal principles.

Historically, Wizards were:

scholars of the natural and cosmic laws
keepers of symbols, geometry, numbers, and resonance
translators between the seen and unseen through understanding

The Wizard’s magic does not come from force, but from clarity.
They know how energy moves, and therefore how to align with it.

In the present day, Wizards appear as:

teachers of consciousness
grid workers, geomancers, energy architects
those who understand patterns, cycles, and lawful creation

Their beauty lies in precision married to humility—they know the laws, yet do not claim ownership of power.

🌿 The Shaman — Walker Between Worlds

The Shaman works with living relationship.

Historically, Shamans were:

healers, soul retrievers, and guides
mediators between humans, animals, plants, and spirits
those who journeyed beyond the ordinary world to restore balance

The Shaman’s magic comes from intimacy with life itself.
They feel what the land feels.
They listen to what the spirits whisper.

In the present day, Shamans appear as:

trauma healers and space holders
those deeply attuned to nature, the body, and the unseen realms
guides through grief, illness, and transformation

Their beauty lies in courageous compassion—they are willing to enter the dark so others may return whole.

🌙 The Oracle — Voice of Inner Knowing

The Oracle works through direct communion.

Historically, Oracles were:

seers and visionaries
vessels through which truth spoke
those who listened beyond time

The Oracle’s magic is not something they do.
It is something that moves through them.

In the present day, Oracles appear as:

intuitives and visionaries
artists, mystics, dreamers, and listeners
those who sense what is emerging before it has form

Their beauty lies in surrender—they trust what comes through, even when it cannot yet be explained.

🔥 Together at the Fire

When these three gather, true magic occurs.

The Wizard holds alignment
The Shaman holds relationship
The Oracle holds truth

The fire at the center is not power—it is presence.

This is not ancient magic lost to time.
It is living magic, remembered again.
