Channel: A.S.My dearest Earth brothers and sisters,
This is Ashtar speaking. I greet you in love and unity.
If something bad or unpleasant happens to you, or if something is bad or unpleasant in your life, often your problem isn’t that thing. Often your problem is your resistance to that thing.
As soon as you release your resistance to it, it may very well be the case that your suffering ends. Pain is unavoidable but suffering is optional.
Plus, if you release resistance, often your soul will see that the lesson has been learned and that there is no need anymore for that unpleasant thing to be in your life. This doesn’t always happen, but it certainly can happen.
So for example, suppose that you are currently single and deeply bothered by that and you feel that you need to be in a relationship and you are in resistance to being single. Then from my perspective, likely your problem isn’t that you’re single. Likely your problem is that you’re in resistance to being single. And letting go of this resistance can actually be a step towards helping you find a partner. This is not a guarantee, but it can work out that way.
What if that unpleasant thing that is in your life, such as being single, is actually a gift? What if it’s a priceless opportunity to release resistance, or to learn certain lessons that are easier to learn while single?
Perhaps in the future, you will look back and genuinely be grateful for this unpleasant thing that today you are cursing, because you will be happy with who you are and you will see that this unpleasant thing helped you become who you are.
Right now you might be thinking: well I have an unpleasant thing in my life, I don’t like it and I’m certain that this thing being in my life is not for my highest good. Well, yes, that is indeed possible. Your soul orchestrates a lot of your life to help you learn lessons and achieve soul growth, but your soul doesn’t orchestrate all of your life. Sometimes things just suck, that is also true.
Yes, there is a divine plan, but that divine plan works on the macro scale. The divine plan says that Earth humans will be free. The divine plan doesn’t say that on 11 July 2024, Anne will spill coffee on John’s suit.
From John’s perspective, it could be the case that Anne spilled coffee on his suit and it wasn’t for his highest good and it wasn’t orchestrated by his soul. It just sucks. This is possible.
However, don’t be too quick to say that something just sucks. Things that seem like they just suck, may very well be orchestrated by your soul and there may be an important lesson there to learn. Or this unpleasant thing can be a great opportunity to release resistance or excessive attachment.
By the way, sometimes in your world it is said that attachments are bad. This is often a Western misunderstanding of Buddhist doctrine. I don’t recommend buying into the notion that all attachments are bad, under the normal English definitions of those words.
After all, what would the world look like if parents weren’t attached to their children, and if spouses weren’t attached to each other? For the vast majority of people, relationships and family are hugely important to their well-being and joy and growth, and it would be nearly psychopathic to have zero attachment to your friends and parents and children and spouses.
For most people, sitting alone on a mountain top and having literally zero attachments isn’t for their highest good.
So attachments aren’t a problem. Excessive attachments are a problem. Or you could say that craving is a problem. Or you could say that clinging on to things is a problem. Or you could say that resistance is a problem. These things are of course slightly different, but they can be problems, whereas attachment by itself isn’t problematic.
Let’s go back to our main topic of resistance. Let’s say you are noticing that you are in resistance to something, but you are confused because there isn’t a clear reason for your resistance to that thing. Then it might be the case that you had an unpleasant experience with that thing in a past life, and that is where your resistance comes from.
For example, suppose you are often anxious about your partner cheating on you, even though no one has cheated on you in this life and there is no reason to suspect that your partner will cheat on you. Well, it might be that in a past life you were cheated on, and you still carry that energy forward.
Or it might be the case that in a past life you cheated on a partner, and you still feel guilty about that. If you have unfairly hurt someone else, that can actually lead to a stronger energy that you carry forward into the next life than if someone hurt you unfairly.
If you remember that you hurt someone in a past life, you can say out loud for example: “I apologize to everyone whom I cheated on in a past life. I am sorry. Please forgive me.”
That is a very specific case. How do you release resistance in general?
Well, it’s good to remind yourself that you are a reincarnating soul, and you are merely experiencing your physical body and brain. Once you truly understand that, a lot of the things that Earth people are often in resistance to, will no longer seem so desperate. Because it’s all just experiences. Unpleasant experiences are still just experiences at the end of the day, so why would your soul — you — resist them?
It’s good to remind yourself that likely your soul’s purpose in this life is either to learn something, or to experience something, or to be of service. Well, no matter what you do, you are guaranteed to succeed at learning things and experiencing things. Also, you are guaranteed to succeed at being of service, because your very presence on this world is an offering of energetic support to the rest of humanity. So your life’s purpose will automatically succeed.
Sure, it’s possible to succeed to greater or lesser extents, but to a reincarnating soul, it’s success even if you only succeed to a moderate degree. After all, you have infinite time and infinite lives to learn your lessons and have your experiences and do all the service work you wish. So you already are succeeding. And you can rest easy in that, and give yourself credit for that.
Great job. I’m not just playing with words here — I mean it. You’re doing a great job.
And furthermore, if you want to release resistance, you can use the method that I shared in my message titled: “Ashtar: Observe, feel and only then decide if you want to go into the thought.” So, for example, if you are currently single and are deeply bothered by that, you can first observe that you are thinking these thoughts, and notice how that feels in your body. Then you can fully feel the emotions, which might take a long time. If you open yourself up to feeling your emotions, then you’re automatically healing your pain and letting go of your resistance.
After observing and feeling, you can then decide if you want to go into the thought and start thinking along these lines, and / or if you want to take practical action.
I hope this was helpful. I love you very much, and I consider each and every one of you to be part of me. You have my deepest respect for how well you’re doing — frankly, most souls would do worse than how you are doing right now. You’re doing amazing, and you are amazing.
Your star brother,
Ashtar

In my experience, there seems to be an interaction of elements at play, elements that are not ‘superior’ to the soul and it’s plans, but complementary – the very thing that originally inspired the plans and is always present to experience them in ‘real time’, we could call it ‘spirit’.
To use the spilled coffee example; it could be that this was indeed not planned for by the souls of either John or Anne, but the spirit, which is like a brilliant unpredictable improvisation machine, makes it so the event is made to further the plans of both souls in ways that are perceived or not, depending on their level of awareness – of which expansion is invariably the goal.
For instance, John could realize this is only a new way for coffee to wake him up, even if it doesn’t ‘suit’ him well; or Anne finally found a way to ‘spill the beans’ about the rigid company dress code.
In my opinion, most of the mental pain people suffer from does not come from problems encountered in rationality or action, such as setbacks, difficulties, or pessimistic predictions. These problems can directly cause some mental pain, but most of the mental pain comes from the emotional system’s response to the problems.
When people’s car of rationality or action collides with a tree, they will analyze and respond in a rational way, which requires some time to solve. But people’s emotional system often wants to do something during this period, it continues to run inertia, as if travel is still ongoing, or trying to solve problems in irrational and ineffective ways, or shouting around the car, which creates a lot of disorder and mental pain. This is to some extent a survival mechanism that reminds people to solve the problems by creating additional pain and repeatedly chewing and savoring the pain, so once the problems are well observed and valued, this reminding is no longer necessary. The emotional system is also like the dog in people’s home, care about the owner but not very intelligent. When people encounter a difficult position, it may rush up and bark and bite at the position before people come up with a solution. Sometimes this can be helpful, but in most cases it won’t. Therefore, people should be aware of this and hold onto the dog leash.
So basically I agree with Ashtar’s meaning, but in terms of specific wording, if to say “The thing itself isn’t the problem, your resistance to it is the problem. If something bad or unpleasant happens to you, or if something is bad or unpleasant in your life, often your problem isn’t that thing. Often your problem is your resistance to that thing.”, this sounds like the earth people should encounter problems, be bullied and abused, and resistance is wrong. Or rather than eliminating the problem, it’s better to eliminate the person who raised the problem. Or the problems encountered by the earth people mainly come from themselves, and the Galactic Federation has little responsibility for that.
The direct understanding is that the problems naturally needs to be dealt with or resisted, but people should have a better mindset.
To a certain extent: The earth people’s problems are not anyone’s fault. The earth people often didn’t receive reasonably simple courses. In addition, if it’s common for lower self to resist courses arranged by higher self on Earth, it would be a deformed situation. So this looks more like mistakes of the Galactic Federation, but the Galactic Federation is also learning and exploring, and in this process, mistakes can’t be undefined. Mistakes refer to getting things wrong after gaining the right understanding.
To a certain extent, it’s reasonable and correct to say that the earth people are the main creators of their problems, and they should solve the problems or change their attitudes towards them. But specially or distortingly emphasizing this sounds like a reflection of the psychological shadow of the Galactic Federation. If the Galactic Federation had made any mistakes, I think in the past, the Galactic Federation realized the problems, but created more problems due to being too ashamed to face the problems.
I’m sorry to complain about this as an earth human. Maybe it’s my psychological shadow, or there is some misunderstanding.
I hope these were helpful.
That tree has been barked at. Psychological shadows are the projection of guilt and shame that derive from a sense of duality, which does not exist in the higher density levels of the Confederation that orients the lower ones.
Since so many of the lower levels are actually directly part-taking in the ascension of the planet, it is fairly common that they are actually bearing the projection/reflection of those feelings that got they ‘sentenced to a higher awareness’ of the Earth situation in the first place; which is only properly achieved through the loss of all memory about their galactic origin.
In other words, most people complaining about the galactics and their unawareness of things here are actually unaware galactics themselves. Go figure.
As a supplement, when I say “solve the problem”, it doesn’t necessarily mean meeting certain needs or goals, it can also be calculating a convincing and reasonable arrangement. Such as being single, since the world is now so flawed, so complicated, and people are so busy, that finding a suitable partner is often difficult enough or not cost-effective. Some people who happen to easily find a seemingly suitable partner are likely to be arranged by their higher self, which may have advantages and disadvantages. Perhaps they have to complete courses related to emotions or partners, or in simple theory, most light workers should disperse as much as possible, which is beneficial for stabilizing energy, or being single makes your evolution more flexible, or anyway, your higher self calculates that it’s more advantageous for you.
And the emotional system reacts quickly before rationality like a independent animal, which is also a survival mechanism that is effective in relatively simple or familiar situations. It’s not a function lacking value, but needs to be managed.
Sorry, “in this process, mistakes are undefinable.”
Several translation systems failed to handle this seemingly simple sentence correctly. The world is so flawed.
Some of you or all of you are volunteers and not of earth. I remember fondly a co-worker of mine once told me to never volunteer for anything or it will become your responsibility to get whatever it is done.
We are.. Getting.. Whatever it is.. Done.
Poetic, isn’t it? Like poets what we observe and can expound upon is not always to our liking. However, it certainly doesn’t make it any less significant nor does it make us weak.
We, if we have chosen it, are lending ourselves to the moment at hand and by doing so assisting this planet in rising. The best we can do is remind ourselves of that and simply cheer up. Up being the operative word, for in Being Up we drive what is around us Up. Please be patient with yourselves and others. Be kind. It is no coincidence that “be kind” has become a popular phrase. Let us use it, let us be nice to ourselves and others in small ways and thereby attract pleasantness. Vibe with the pleasant and watch as peace surrounds you at last.
What you describe is the cycle trap of 3d matrix, you want people overcome it. But this 3d matrix is 90 to 99% controlled and created by dark entities, from education to religion to economy all of it. It’s not a 50negative / 50positive experience. Only people on earth know that, it cannot be understand by higher lifeforms beings.
Lightworkers wants to manifest things that could help/assist them in this life, these things need to manifest quickly likethis moment, tomorrow or next days because they need it badly and timely. According to you this can manifest in a very long time, years even decades which is ridiculous since we need it now this assistance that why we try to manifest it in the first place.
There is really a lot of disconnection and misunderstanding since people on earth suffers to tell you the truth which u don’t understand, and beings on heaven live bliss with complete high technology, doesn’t have amnesia and clearly don’t suffer.
I agree, we can work on affecting our own personal life but we have basically no effect on the larger world of politics, economics, warfare, chemical pollution of our water, air and food, etc. we need help from higher beings, but they seem to take the mystic view that all is just as it needs to be.
Thanks A.S. and Ashtar.
My love to you both.
🙏
Wow thank You Ashtar and EOL.. I found this message (a refresh indeed) very inspiring to make some homework right now in my meditation.. there is still a little dark corner to look at..
Much love
Matteo – Warrior of Light
this is false and useless information.
obviously things are very effed up on this world and it will be much easier to manifest whatever we want when the event happens and we have justice and disclosure and our health wealth and technology restored amen.
yes everyone should do inner work, but there are also external factors that affect things and everyone’s mental state is part of manifesting global situation
so this message would be helpful if everyone practiced it together and fixed earth together amen
not that helpful for an individual amen
