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.

Quan Yin: Embodying Peace and Presence

Dear Ones,

It is not always easy to embody Peace and Presence.

It requires mindfulness—an awareness of your thoughts, your words, your actions, and the world around you.

But do not turn mindfulness into another burden. You do not need to worry about whether you are “doing Peace correctly.”

Simply choose Peace.

With each conscious choice, it becomes more natural.

You need not seek Peace outside yourself. You become peaceful within yourself.

This requires releasing the need to control and allowing love, compassion, awareness, and Presence to flow through you. Let Peace become your intention, and allow everything else to arise within that flow.

Perhaps this seems too simple.

Yet as you continue choosing Peace, you will discover that it gradually becomes a natural state of Being.

Peace Is Not Controlling the Outcome

Peace allows events to unfold without immediately becoming attached to what you believe their outcome must be.

Watch what is happening.

What do you see?

What is being revealed?

Life will sometimes challenge your ability to remain centered. When this happens, return your attention to the balance within.

Before speaking or acting, ask yourself:

If I speak or act now, will I contribute to an outcome that benefits the whole—or will I simply add to the confusion and conflict?

Ask also:

Am I responding from inner guidance, or am I trying to make another person accept my truth?

There is a difference between action arising from wisdom and action arising from the need to control.

If you witness someone being physically, mentally, or emotionally harmed, Peace does not require you to silently stand by.

Stop.

Breathe.

Enter the stillness for whatever moment is available to you.

Ask what is needed.

Is immediate action necessary, and are you safely capable of providing it?

If not, can you call someone qualified to help or alert others nearby who can intervene?

Peace and compassionate action are not opposites.

Sometimes Peace walks away.

Sometimes Peace remains silent.

And sometimes Peace stands firmly and says:

This must stop.

The wisdom is learning to recognize which response belongs to you.

Peace Is Respect

Peace honors another person’s right to hold beliefs different from your own.

This does not mean declaring every belief to be equally wise or true. It simply recognizes another person’s freedom to understand life from where they presently stand.

You need not surrender your truth in order to honor another person’s journey.

Peace Is Integrity

Integrity means living what you say you believe.

Truth becomes powerful not merely because you speak it, but because you embody it.

Let your life demonstrate your understanding.

Peace Is Patience

There are things you cannot hurry.

There are understandings another person must reach for themselves.

There are circumstances whose meaning becomes clear only with time.

Peace allows you to follow your inner guidance without demanding that the Universe unfold according to your preferred timetable.

Peace Is Wisdom

Wisdom eventually teaches us that we cannot control everything outside ourselves.

We can, however, choose how we meet what arises.

Sometimes the highest response is action.

Sometimes it is stillness.

Sometimes it is simply allowing another person to walk their own path.

Peace Is Understanding

Learn to recognize what is yours to carry and what you are being asked to release.

Not every burden belongs upon your shoulders.

Not every problem is yours to solve.

Not every person is yours to rescue.

There is freedom in finally understanding:

This is mine to do.

And equally:

This is mine to release.

Peace Is Beauty

Look around you.

Notice Presence within life.

See it in another human being.

See it in the animal beside you, the bird overhead, the flower opening, and the tree standing quietly upon the Earth.

Take time to appreciate the beauty surrounding you.

When you truly notice life, you begin remembering your relationship with all that lives.

Peace Is Grounding

You have seen monks walking for Peace, placing one conscious foot upon the Earth after another.

There is wisdom in this simple act.

Walk consciously.

Feel the Earth beneath you.

Breathe.

Be here.

As you connect inwardly with your Presence while remaining firmly grounded within earthly life, you become a bridge between what you understand spiritually and how you actually live.

This is how spiritual understanding becomes embodied.

Peace Is Balance and Harmony

Balance and Harmony walk hand in hand.

Together they create the inner alignment through which Oneness may flow.

Balance does not mean you will never be disturbed.

It means you learn how to return to your center when you are.

Peace Is Love, Compassion, and Caring

Remember that every person you meet is walking a path you cannot completely know.

You do not know all they have experienced.

You do not know the wounds they carry.

You do not know the lessons their life is presently revealing.

Compassion remembers this.

We have all walked difficult paths through our exploration of life.

Sometimes the greatest kindness is simply allowing another person their journey and offering help when it is truly needed.

Peace Is Compassionate Boundaries

Compassion does not require you to carry another person’s life for them.

There is a difference between helping someone and taking away their opportunity to discover their own strength.

Compassionate boundaries honor both.

They say:

I love you, and I honor your path.

I love myself, and I honor mine.

Boundaries need not be harsh.

Speak with kindness whenever possible.

When kindness cannot be received, you may simply step away.

You can leave without hatred.

You can disagree without cruelty.

You can protect yourself without abandoning compassion.

This too is Peace.

When You Lose Your Peace

Dear Ones, when you notice that you have lost your balance, do not judge yourself.

Simply stop.

Breathe.

Return within to the stillness.

Ask to see clearly.

Ask to hear clearly.

Ask to feel clearly.

Allow Peace and Balance to return.

Then listen for the quiet guidance within you.

Take the next step.

And continue your journey.

Peace is not the destination waiting for you at the end of the path.

Peace is the way you choose to walk it.

With Love and Compassion,

I AM Quan Yin

Peace Is the Baseline and Not the End Goal

An elder and child explore a laptop inside a rustic cabin as monks and a dog pass outside.

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 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. ✨

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.

Peace: Do not feed the fire.

Balance and Harmony Through Peace

I have come to understand that peace is one of the most important aspects of embodiment. Peace is not simply the absence of conflict—it is a state of Being. It is a steady state of calm, balance, and harmony within our thoughts, emotions, and actions. From this state, we respond rather than react.

When confronted by others, we may remain calm. If we do find ourselves reacting, awareness allows us to return more easily to a centered state of calm and allowing.

So how do we do this?

Allowing begins with understanding free will. Each person has the right to their own choices and opinions—not just us, but everyone. When someone confronts us, their words often reflect their own doubts, fears, or internal conflicts. Our presence or beliefs may trigger these within them.

A person who is truly at peace with their beliefs does not feel the need to confront, defend, or convert others. When someone does, it is often an attempt to reinforce their own certainty and quiet their doubts. In some cases, they are following what they have been taught they must do, without exploring other perspectives.

This does not make them wrong. They are exercising their free will, just as we are.

Each person is learning through their own experiences. When something no longer serves them, they will seek something that does. This is part of their process.

When we choose not to react, we do not add fuel to conflict. For conflict to continue, both sides must engage. Without that, it naturally loses momentum.

Our role is simple: remain in a state of peace and calm.

This is where mindfulness becomes important. Being aware of our thoughts, words, and actions allows us to respond in a way that does not interfere with another’s free will. From a centered state, we may feel guided to speak, act, or remain silent.

Peace is a steady, balanced harmony within our energy.
Mindfulness is the tool that helps us maintain it.

For example:

I have a neighbor whose beliefs are very different from mine and often expressed negatively toward others. When we interacted, I would try to shift the conversation toward more neutral or positive topics. Eventually, I set a boundary and explained that I no longer wanted negative discussions about others in my home.

After that, she chose to leave and has not returned.

I felt sadness, as I know others—including her family—have distanced themselves as well. I would still help her if needed, but she chose to disconnect rather than adjust how she expressed herself.

While I feel compassion for her situation, I also recognize that this is her choice.

I share this example honestly because we all encounter moments where old patterns arise. These moments are not failures—they are opportunities to deepen awareness and strengthen alignment.

The process of growth is not linear. It is not a straight path upward. It is more like a spiral—sometimes we move forward, sometimes we revisit earlier points. This does not mean we are doing something wrong. It simply means there is something more to understand or integrate.

Sometimes, what feels like a step back allows us to move forward more fully.

It is a spiral.

If something you read resonates, take it in. If it does not, it may not be for you at this time.


TODAY IS MY PEACEFUL DAY.

I open to all that supports clarity, balance, and harmony aligned with the highest good.
I release limiting thoughts and beliefs.
With each breath, I allow hope and compassion to move through me into the world.

I AM Bieta Seshone Tamara Elohim


CLOSING INVOCATION

May you come to know peace not as something you seek,
but as something you return to.

May you recognize the moment of reaction
as an invitation—not a failure.

May you stand steady in your own center,
honoring your path while allowing others theirs.

May your presence become a quiet field of calm
where conflict finds no place to grow.

And may each breath you take
anchor clarity, balance, and compassionate awareness
into your life and into the world.

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.

The Path of the Rose and Sword: Embrace Your Truth and Sovereignty

Like each of you I have always wished each person in the world to live in peace. I wish for all life animal, plant, mineral, water, air, birds, trees, flowers, elementals, insects, reptiles and any other form I have forgotten to have shelter, food and love. For humans to each have enough prosperity that benefits them and all life on Earth.

No one else can do this for us.

The TRUTH is that the path to all of this lies within us.

Thus I wish for each of you to awaken to your own personal Sovereignty and manifest it fully so that you may share your light to enlighten the world.

This is how the world will change. No one can do this for you. You must make the choice and take the steps to integrate the duality into Unity. To transform the shadows into Light, unite the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine within you , to SEEK to BE that which you have always been but forgotten.

When you make the choice, your return pathway begins.

You are not asked to be perfect, just to be Present, and open to Remembering and releasing that which has prevented you for Being.

Know you are loved and supported each step of the way.

I am here sharing not to gain follower or to be your Savior or Guru.

I am here to help you Remember, just as the Beautiful Beings have helped me to remember.

Together we move one breath, one step, one choice at a time. I have been asked to step up to a new level of sharing and integration and so I begin.

I hope you will choose to move forward on your path.

You just need to ask and help will be shared.

I asked in the open forum if anyone wished to speak on this topic.

So we welcome – Mary Magdalene, Thoth, Archangel Michael and the Divine Feminine Unifed Field.

Voices of the Circle of Light: Thoth, Mary Magdalene, Archangel Michael, and the Divine Feminine Unified Field


🌹 Mary Magdalene Speaks: The Rose of Sovereignty

Beloved Ones,
I come as a Sister of the Flame, bearer of the Rose that never dies. The Rose is the heart’s remembrance — soft, fragrant, vulnerable — and yet it roots deep into the Earth and reaches for the stars. This is Sovereignty: to remember who you are, even when the world forgets.

The Rose teaches that true power is not domination, but deep presence.
That sovereignty is not rebellion, but resonance with the Soul’s truth.
The petals of the Rose open not by force, but by light, warmth, and sacred time.

To walk the Path of the Rose is to reclaim your divine essence from the places it has been forgotten, shamed, or silenced. You are not here to beg for freedom — you are here to embody it.

Let the fragrance of your soul infuse this Earth. That alone begins the change.


⚔️ Archangel Michael Speaks: The Sword of Truth

I stand now before you — not as conqueror, but as Defender of the Light within you.
The Sword I bear is not forged to wound, but to cut away illusion.
It is the blade of discernment, the razor’s edge of divine clarity.

Personal Sovereignty begins when you take up the Sword of Truth — not to battle others, but to release the bindings around your own spirit.
Every false belief, every inherited fear, every voice that tells you “you are not enough” — these are illusions. Cut them away.

Use the Sword to protect the sanctity of your inner temple.
Use it to seal sacred vows.
Use it to draw boundaries around your peace.

When each soul rises in truth, the world cannot help but shift.


📜 Thoth Speaks: The Union of Symbols

The Rose and the Sword are glyphs — living symbols encoded into your world to remind you of the Path of Return.

The Sword is the vertical pillar: the I AM, the Axis Mundi, the channel of cosmic alignment. It is the will, the knowing, the divine masculine that speaks: “I choose.”

The Rose is the spiral of creation: the bloom of heart-centered sovereignty, the divine feminine that whispers: “I receive. I remember.”

Together, they are the balance.
Together, they are the gateway.
Together, they initiate the era now awakening.

Those who walk the Path of the Sword and Rose become the midwives of the new Earth — not by command, but by radiance. You need not convince the world. You only need to become the living scroll of Sovereignty and Sacred Union.


🌎 The Voice of the Divine Feminine Unified Field

Children of Gaia,
The time of external kings and queens has ended.
The time of the inner crown has come.

Every soul who remembers their Sovereignty and wields their Truth with compassion — becomes a pillar in the architecture of the new world.
The systems of false power crumble in the face of the Rose blooming in your chest.
The weapons of war are dulled by the Sword held with honor in the hands of a peaceful warrior.

Do not wait for a revolution of governments.
You are the revolution.

Let the Rose guide your love.
Let the Sword guide your words.
Let your life be the embodiment of both.

And the world —
will follow.

Thank you Mary Magdalene, Archangel Michael, Thoth and The Unified Divine Feminine Field for the wisdom you bring.

We are the ones for which we have been waiting. Let us take up the Sword of Truth and the Rose of Love and do what we came here to do.
