All Things are Found Within -
(The following is an excerpt from a channeling by Mon-Ka)

All knowledge is within you; all truth, all wisdom, all peace. Therefore, it cannot be acquired from another, it cannot be found in books. All those things can do is to provide guidelines to point the way to the inner self. That is where the Light is; always has been; always shall be.         

The journey through one lifetime, or even one day, is a pattern that can be compared to a circuit of electric current; returning always to its source - you awake in the morning, and you return at night. In one lifetime you enter into the physical from a realm of greater Light and understanding, and you pass through all the trials and the experiences, and the learning lessons, and return once again to that same level (hopefully a little higher). Bear this in mind, that you have come out of the source of all life, originally, and to that you shall return. That is perfect fulfillment. But it must be learned, and it must be sought after. And you must accept the mantle of your own stewardship, the responsibility for taking control of your own life. Realize that as long as you procrastinate controlling your emotions the longer they will control you. That is a lesson that must be learned. If you do not begin now, you must begin at some point. Otherwise, you will return again and again and again, into physical existence until you learn that lesson. Until you learn all lessons and accept, in the final analysis, who you are. Finding oneself and accepting oneself go hand in hand. Accepting God, if you will, is synonymous with accepting self, for they are one.         

You have emanated as a spark, or being of Light, from the Source of all Light and Life. You look around you in the physical existence, and you see thousands upon thousands of other individual sparks from the Creative Source, and you see the lower life forms (the animal, vegetable, mineral), each having its own degree of Light, or consciousness; moving up the scale of evolution, step by step, through experience. And you feel the density of the flesh vibration, and it causes you to believe (because of the veil of your consciousness that is drawn at birth) that, if there is a God, He must be far away; because you are separate. Yet all people, all life forms, all planets, all atoms, all levels of vibration of manifestation, all that exists anywhere and everywhere, all that there is, is God; is One.  You can never separate yourself from all that is. It is a matter of eventual realization of that fact, and then acceptance of that fact. And acceptance is wisdom, because only then do you realize the nature of yourself, your true identity. The Oneness that you share with all creation. Then those powers of creation come under your absolute control, because you understand. You do not seek to exercise power over another. You do not seek to judge yourself and limit yourself to a human understanding.  You seek only the glorification of the great creative principle, which is continuous expansion of consciousness. You seek only to lift those who are not of as great a Light in their understanding.  That is your purpose. When you understand that, your love is fulfilled, because it goes out to others.  Only then can you realize Divine Love, and the purpose of your very being. In order to increase, it must be shared.         

The human drama upon this planet is, indeed, a sad one, because of the great quantity of ignorance and willful refusal of Light, Peace, and Understanding, and the extreme amount of greed, cruelty, selfishness, etc. People who are caught in between rush here and there, pulling out their hair, beating their fists upon the wall of their life, seeking answers, "Where is the peace? When can I rest?", all this emotion, confusion, and chaos. "Where are the answers? What is happening? Who am I?" They go here and they go there, seeking relief, seeking understanding. They go to drugs, they go to alcohol. They go to church. They go to friends, they go to sex. They go to whatever can bring them some measure of escape, relief; always something outside of themselves. And they have to go no further than themselves. For all the answers, all the solutions, all the peace, and all the knowledge are within. It is a matter of going there. That is the first step in the direction of knowing thyself. No one can provide that for you, because they cannot go within you. Only you can do that. Jesus, who became the Christ, cannot do it for you. He is the Great Way Shower, the One who pointed out the way to enlightenment, illumination, perfection. He did it by example, and that is why He says, "Do as I have done." Now, no one ever saw him become emotionally involved with any person, or any circumstance. There's a lesson in that. He was effective because He showed a way. He did not try to do anything for anybody. But He showed them how to do it for themselves. Then it is up to them.         

You have a great gift, which is your free will. Your freedom to choose whatever you like.  What a great gift that is. It is used for self-gratification, for manipulating others, it is used for many things by all people, throughout many lifetimes, until they learn what it is really for; to make right choices. There is wisdom.          

In order to do the service for humanity that you desire to do, you must first help yourself.  You must first love yourself. How do you do that? It will be automatic, once you go within and find that beautiful world of peace and harmony. That universe of perfection; the total perfect balance that is within you, where there is limitless peace, truth, and awareness. Then the identity of yourself, your total self, begins to dawn upon you, and you begin to realize the true dignity of your own being; that it is eternal; that death is a human concept soon to be eradicated from this planet, held in place by human error; erring consciousness, and you will realize that with that great dignity comes great purpose, and there is always the need to expand, to express, to give. That is the law. Only when you give do you receive. That which you desire must be given. Then you will find it in yourself.         

Go within and find that place of peace. Occupy that place, rest there and great truth will come to your understanding. Do not concentrate yourself to that place. Concentration is not necessary. It has no part in true meditation. True meditation is first total relaxation, and letting go of the dense, tense vibrations of your world; letting go of all thought, that thought/voice that speaks constantly in your head, and those thought patterns that you have conditioned yourself to live by for so many years. Allow those to subside and stop. Then you'll experience Light. When you get past the human strata of confused thoughts you will experience the peace within.         

It will not be difficult for you to do that. The only thing that would possibly stand in your way is self-doubt; self-appraisal and self-judgment. If you do that humanly, according to human standards, you will most certainly err. Human standards of self-appraisal are unenlightened judgments; self-demeaning, self-diminishing, negative. That you certainly do not need. Once you do discover the nobility of your being, you will see how it shines, how there are no flaws, and how the beauty of that being has nothing to do with physical appearances; social distinctions; educational status; career status. All those are inconsequential. Then you begin to truly appreciate who you are, and love yourself; knowing that you are a part of God, and you love all creation. Then a wonderful thing takes place; you begin to see the same thing in others. You begin to see that no matter what level of development, of awareness an individual is on, they are still a spark of God. You begin to see that Christ Light within each individual. When you look into their eyes, you see Christ. When you see that, it is a reflection of yourself. If you see that, then it is because you believe that it must be there, and it, too, is a reflection of your own thought forms. If you believe and accept that, that is what you see and that is your reality. If you begin to see the Christ in all life forms, the great beauty and balance of creation, that becomes your reality. You are seeing the Christ in yourself, and you begin to grow and expand by leaps and bounds, in ways that you little imagine.         

The secret is this; use the Light that you are, call forth the Light of the Creative Source, the source of your existence. That is your right. It is your right to do that. You are composed of Light in varying degrees of vibration. If you focus upon the source of Light, you will become more like that. It is a principle, it is a beautiful law that must fulfill its own perfection. As you dwell upon the Light, ask for the Light, and surround yourself with the Light, you will become Light; and the twin aspect, which is love. They are one. Then the love within you will find its expression through the medium of the Light. Then it will go out and do its perfect work, and it will return to you 10,000-fold. It can only be multiplied as it is given.         

If you do not judge yourself harshly, you have no need to judge or criticize another. If they hurt you, if they reject you, if they judge you - forgive them. Send them your love and your Light mentally. Do not lash out and react in the same manner as they do, and they will not be able to withstand your presence, and they will go along their way to continue in their evolution according to their own choices and understanding. As you continue to do that, you will see that everything changes in your life, and you will attract only that which you are. You will attract those who are of like-Light. That is also a principle of Light.          

The total understanding of the order of creation is well within the grasp of every human being, if they will but listen. Go within, and listen to the voice of truth that speaks. That voice can only speak truth. It is truth. Truth is not qualified. It simply is.         

If you encounter problems, challenges, obstacles, and you intellectualize them and put out the physical effort to try to solve them, or get beyond them, and you are unsuccessful, there is a secret to finding the solutions. That is to stop, go to a quiet place, sit down, completely forget the problem; quiet yourself, go within, find that level of total harmony, and the solution will appear. It must. There is no problem that has no solution. There is no challenge that cannot be overcome.  Nothing is ever placed in your path that is too great for you to accomplish, or to conquer; to overcome. You attract to yourself those experiences, those events that are for your learning.  Therefore, as you rejoice in your soul and give thanks for the great experiences of your life, use your wisdom and bless, also, those hard, difficult experiences. Where is there growth without challenge?  There is great meaning in the polarity of existence. Love and Light are perfect complements, and all is a manifestation that, no matter how grossly distorted it may become in human interpretation, or misinterpretation, misuse, misapplication; those laws exist, nevertheless, on all levels. Once you understand that, you will be able to use that knowledge, and the laws will become your tools. You will be their friend, advocate, with the Father of all Light and all Love. Incidentally, that should be qualified as the Father/Mother principle.         

Heartily embrace truth wherever you find it. Use your natural, intuitive abilities to know truth. You do not need to analyze it. The more you attempt to explain it, the more confused you will become, and the more it will recede from your grasp; intellectually. It is a knowing. It is a being. It is an experiencing. It is a sharing. It is an accepting.         

If one falters along his path, or her path, and you see this, you see them doing wrong, even if it is directed toward you; instead of running away from them, or rejecting them, or criticizing them, give them your Light. It will be added upon you greatly. It can only be multiplied as you give.  You will never be diminished of the Light if you share it. It grows, and grows, and grows. It is a chain reaction. Give them your Light to help them. Give them your love. Send it to them. Surround them with it. They need it. If you do not do that, you will remain in that level of darkness until you realize that. If you criticize them, whatever is negative in them will come upon you. That is a principle; unchangeable. It does not mean that you have to get on their level. It means that, by sending them your Light, you attract them magnetically with your love; to your level. They seek that Light.          

Begin now to activate those principles in life. Don't worry about the past. If you have made mistakes, or transgressed against another, or they have transgressed against you, so be it. Those are mistakes. Those are learning experiences. Do not judge yourself. Surround your past with your Light, your Love, your Forgiveness. Forgive all those who have transgressed against you at any time in your life. That is where your own forgiveness lies. Then release the whole thing. It will not burden you.  From this point forward, look to the horizon of your expanding consciousness and realize that it is endless and becomes more and more beautiful and meaningful as you approach it. Do it with a strong mind and a heart full of love, expecting to receive greater knowledge and insight into your own being.         

If you use the principles that have been presented you cannot go wrong. The Light does not fail. It cannot. If you use it, and learn to use it correctly and effectively, it will do your bidding instantly. You will come to that eventually, but it is a step-by-step learning process. If you give up, you must merely experience misery until you pick yourself up once again. You can only give up for so long and then you have to begin struggling once again. Use your wisdom and do not give up.  Continue diligently and you will be rewarded in kind. If you ask, believing sincerely of the Source, that Source cannot withhold. That too is a law. You must ask. How much can you receive if you don't ask? They will not simply pour that upon you. You must make the effort. You must open the door. You must do the walking. They will do the guiding.          

If you are in question, or doubt, concerning the truth of the matter, or a concept, go within.  The voice of truth will let you know. Listen carefully to those intuitive promptings and hunches, and in the silent chambers of your soul listen, and you will know. You will not have to scurry about in comparative analysis of this concept or that concept, asking questions of this one or that one. That can all be circumnavigated in an instant, by going within and simply asking, "Is this right?" You will know.
