MY INTENTION and PLAN for TODAY


Know exactly what you want, communicate clearly what you want, then get out of the way, live and play, and let happen what may!
7:56
Today I desire to weave a special tapestry of warp and weft
the warp being the study of the first comprehensive teaching from Godchannel after 21 months
and the weft being the beginning re-creation of my violated, downtrodden, destroyed garden,
saving some of the uprooted plants - now exposed to air - by quickly replanting them in soil.



On this day in 2012, the tractoron no longer exists,
and though I' cant see the connection to this fact -
I'm ready for another re-creation of "my" garden.
See below
image of the day


hodayot [thanksgivings] for today

9:04
My Body, my Partner, my God
I heard - with half an ear - how they (in Germany) are worried
by the population shift towards older people [I can't find the exact terms]
and mentioning again and again the wear and tear on the physical body,
an example was given: how can a 67 year old man work on disposing garbage?
Looking at my physical work in the garden, especially yesterday,
including the lifting of heavy stones,
so often needed in my bus & desert past,
I give thanks to you, my Body, for the stunning phenomenon,
that - except for our teeth and right groin - you show no wear and tear ,
on the contrary, you are able to perform movements,
which you couldn't perform, when we were "younger".

I'm grate-full for being granted to encounter an aspect of Heaven-on-Earth
in Ofir Cohen, my young landlord, by profession a maintenance man,
who in these days is exemplifying how "being equal" works:
No overriding of another's will, no succumbing to another's will,
but with utmost steadfastness combined with utmost sensitivity
making 1 + 1 = 3   !!!!!


Continuation of the tractoron story

 



Since the first idea
to drive the vehicle along the paved strip outside the veranda,
did not work,
we had to accept the solution voiced by Ran, Ofir's friend
who shares with him this vehicle:
we had to uproot the center part of my garden,
so as to allow the vehicle to turn into it from the gate,
and to turn out - around the corner of the house.


There was another obstacle along the western side of the house
- a major branch of the apricot tree, with its not yet ripe fruits.
Through the 3 attempts of dragging the vehicle
towards its appointed place behind the house and back again
I always stretched myself
to lift the branch above the driver
and the iron poles behind him.
[2012: the apricot tree now "exists" only as a dead remnant of a NON-DESERT TREE
and some months later had attracted bad ants and had to be uprooted altogether...]






The test of driving the vehicle out again,
was also successful.
Here it has just turned
around the pomegrenade tree,
the branches of which I had tied together,
thus preventing Ofir
from cutting those which "disturbed".

The light of the day had dimmed, Ran had left, the tractoron was parked on the veranda again,
(since the track is still not ready: a piece of the paved strip at the western corner has to be broken down)
and Ofir looks at the naked soil, the quality of which I had improved so painstakingly for 3 years. .


Then, with the last light of the day,
Ofir helped me with transplanting the heaviest uprooted plants,
a cactus, 2 young trees, a shrub..
and this is, how I saw my garden in the morning:

It doesn't look so bad, but the transferred plants - will they take root?

the "fragrant plant", as Ofir calls it,
or "Scented Geranium" ,
which also provides me
with leaves for my daily tea,
and which we transplanted
to the prepared spot
next to the compost-grav
e [see yesterday]
may survive,
if I'll prune most of its limbs vigorously
[April 6: I did this and not much is left,
but it will grow in time!],

- another pain-causing job,
since those limbs are full with buds, just ready to open into blossoms.

I had no idea, that there are "daily painters",
who publish "the image of the day" every day.
One such painter, the first in Germany,
Eduard Bill Gordon,
also mentions other such painters on his website.
He has already painted for more than 500 days,
each day, 7 days a week, a new painting,
using daily scenes in Berlin [and does still in 2013]

Gordon's comment:
"3/04/2008
Listen to the Music...
It did not sound really beautiful, but it was lively and loud. Everybody had to smile passing this musicians who were tuning in on an old Edith Piaf song. A group of American tourists even started to dance. The man playing the accordion with his trilby hat and a Del Trotter smile..... what can I say, I had to paint this.

"The assumption is, that in young people between 13 and 18 years amazing changes could be reached,
if we could work with them a little, advance them a little in things which are not too far out,
to learn to love yourself,
then the Israeli society would perhaps be a bit different"

[from the report in "Ma'ariv" [2013 no longer available] about "Alufim shel ha-chaim" -Champions of Life]

 





a neutral review in "Ma'ariv"
Alon Gal, the coacher, whose work with families,
who don't manage with their finances, I respected very much,
now decided to coach 12 young people in a boarding-school.
Even if none of the youngsters should benefit from the coaching,
the very fact, that all the world can watch a workshop, is very encouraging,
the more so, as our T. belongs exactly to this kind of kids,
and the "drama", I'm hinting at, concerns the option of a boardingschool.


a critical, if not vicious review in "Haaretz" See about this tomorrow!

 

I'm now quoting my graphical edition
of the new message in Godchannel,
edited as one of more than 200 pages in my "Edited Godchannel Files"
thus making it easier to study and integrate
the teaching in the message.

I'll re-read the message every day for some time,
and let experiences lighten up the teachings
and the teachings lighten up my experiences.

[The next day I did more graphical editing here, which will not appear in "Edited Godchannel Files"]
Re-studied with Boris on the Eve of Pesach, April 6, 2012

Interview with Grandfather, Part Two


 

Channelers note:
The material on this page is a continuation of both
the Interview with Grandfather and the Interview with God.
Two other pages that would also be good to read before this page are
A Letter to Those Doing the Healing Work,
and
A Letter to the Parents of Creation.


Grandfather,
some readers have asked questions you may be able to answer.
For instance, can you give us more information
about this period of massive change
we are in up to December 2012 when the Mayan calendar ends?

 

"This is Original Spirit abiding in my love,
First Mother or 'Grandmother,' as you know her.


"It is timely to discuss the general phenomena
associated with what in your terms is called 'the end of time.'
And since you are asking about events that transcend your present sense of time,
some more clarity about the true nature of reality may be helpful.

"First it is important to note
what the Spirit of your Creation has already said in this regard.
Your perceptions of manifestation are necessarily wholly subjective experiences.
It is in your awareness that manifestation exists,
and you can experience only
what your perceptions, both inner and outer, bring to your awareness.

 

 

The popular myth that there is an objective 'world'
that is common to everyone
and that can be known and understood
has caused a great deal of confusion and suffering
along Humanity's journey toward wholeness.
The perception of self
as one person among billions of others
in an objective world
places your point of view outside of yourself
and perpetuates the false notion
that separation, alienation and fragmentation are 'real.'

 

 

"At a deep transpersonal layer of your Being,
you are creating the world you perceive.
It's as if you are producing, directing and writing your own movie,
your unique and ultimately subjective 'take' on reality.

And since the true nature of reality is fully subjective,
each living Human will experience
the shattering events at the end of time
differently,
and ironically at different 'times.'

 

 

"The events predicted for 2012 by the ancient Maya
are not substantially different than those predicted by sages throughout the millennia.
Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and other seers
have predicted similar events marking 'the end of time.'
And the Maya are only one of many indigenous cultures
that have spoken of their deeply held vision
for the events near and immediately after the end of time.

 

 

"All of these prophecies
point to a relatively sudden awakening
into much greater awareness

for some or all of Humanity.
What has been well hidden within the folds of your present four-dimensional world
will be clearly revealed by the additional Light available
in the unfolding of the new, five-dimensional world.

 

 

"In other words,
there will no longer be places in manifestation
where denial can hide.
The abundant new, loving Light
attracted to the deeply moving Will in Humans

as they go through these transformative experiences
will reveal
what has been hidden from you
since before linear time began.

 

 

"One of the first experiences you will have
as you emerge from the vortex of intense energy
in the passage
between your enfolded four-dimensional world
and the newly unfolding five-dimensional world
will be the realization
that you were right about everything you believed and had faith in.
And very likely your next experience will be the realization
that everyone else has been right as well.

 

 

"And you will experience even deeper realizations.
The deceptions inherent in perceiving only linear time
have obscured the fact
that everything that has ever happened
and everything that will ever happen
is all happening now.
The evolving Human mind with all of its wonderful skills and talents
has not been capable of experiencing
or even understanding
timelessness and eternity.

 

 

"The Mother of your Creation
has had a Dream for this Creation
since before it began.
The Mother's Dream is
that all sentient beings
realize their greatness
and live in peace
with complete freedom~~~
free of denial in any form
and steeped in
deep and abiding love,
joy,
passion
and excitement
in a safe and harmonious venue
of exquisite beauty and wonder.

 

 

Thank you Grandfather.
Would you please say more about
how those who have not believed or had faith as we have
will also be right about what they have believed and held to be true?

 

"This may at first seem impossible to the conditioned mind
with its habits of analysis, evaluation, comparison and judgment
based on concepts of right-doing and wrong-doing,
good and evil,
and all other forms of duality.

Your new life after the end of time
depends upon a new kind of presence
and a mind with a new kind of attention.

 

 

"There has been ancient conditioning of Spirit
that has also been very present in human consciousness
that has instinctively drawn your attention to conscious thought~~~
and away from sentient feeling.

Without awareness of the issue and your own conscious use of attention,
this imprint in consciousness
will not allow you to stay present within a reality your mind cannot understand.

 

 

"For instance, notice how often the mind
automatically moves you away from directly experiencing
and into thinking about the experience
as if the story about it is more important than the feeling of it.

You can practice using this new kind of attention
whenever you choose
to give a feeling your fully loving conscious presence
and choose to honor the feeling
by expressing it in whatever way it wants to express.

 

 

"In order to experience the realization
that everyone has been right to be as they've been
and to have believed as they have believed,
you will have developed the capacity
to stay present with intense emotional and energetic experiences
without any denial
.
This means with no comparison, analysis or thought
beyond complete loving acceptance of the experience.

 

 

"With this new ability
your mind becomes a channel of fully loving Spirit
empowering the Mother's Will to freely move in you,
just as she desires.
Cultivating and nurturing this kind of attention
is key to opening the passageway
to your new, radically expanded venue
beyond the present limitations of linear time.

 

 

"Since the Mother's Dream and its unfolding
is inscribed in the Universal Will at the deepest layers of Being,
it is here now inside of you and everyone else, waiting to unfold.
The key is having enough loving presence
to allow all of the energy and emotion
in and around the portal to the fifth dimension
to move freely in you.

 

 

"Since this kind of complete and total freedom
is simply not available in your present manifestation of only four dimensions,
the Mother is insisting
that everyone in the present paradigm
somehow find
deliverance from its pain and limitations
and join with her and loving Spirit
in the full realization of her Dream.

 

 

"The Mother's Dream, however, is not for only a select few,
or for beings only of this Creation.
The Mother of your Creation
and my own Will, Original Will, First Mother
are united
in this Dream of Free Will for all beings in all Creations.
My plan is and has been to fully support Divine Will in having her way.

 

 

"Unconditional loving acceptance of all beings
and their true desires
is the Mother's way.
And I can assure you
that Divinity will not let anyone down,
everyone's faith and steadfastness will be rewarded.
If there is a prophecy with any adherents at all
who have put their faith in that prophecy,
it will be fulfilled for them in their venues.

 

 

"The winter solstice in 2012
is an approximate date in linear time
predicted for a collective planetary event
that will provide enough energy
to transport most Humans to the next paradigm
in a relatively short duration of linear time.
And along the way though [through?] linear time from here to there,
many 'end times' prophecies will be played out
in individual venues
and on the world stage.

 

"For instance,
the Christian prophecies of Armageddon
are already beginning to be fulfilled for those who believe in them.
Many will see worsening political and economic strife on the world stage
as a cleansing process
leading to the return of the Christ to gather his flock.
And many will experience
ascending into the new paradigm of Heaven
in renewed and less physical bodies
as they participate in the predicted 'rapture'
where they are drawn into heavenly bliss
to live forever with the God they've believed in.

 

 

"Others will experience
the same disturbing and catastrophic events
on the world stage and in their individual venues
as harbingers of the extraterrestrials
who say they have come to save Humanity

and bring you 'home' with them.
And in the newly expanded universe of five dimensions
this will happen quite easily for them.
Those who have believed for any reason
that they will be lifted out of their 'imprisonment' here on Earth
will experience just that.

 

 

"However, a much smaller group of Humans
whose spirits no longer call Heaven or the Stars their home
will remain here on Earth
as they endure the unimaginably intense energy of the transition
while remaining present in their dense physical bodies.
When the dust has settled
they will find themselves on a new Earth
and in renewed bodies
capable of manifesting and moving physically in five dimensions.
These Humans will be the first in this Creation
to experience form change in place of death."


The Fifth Dimension

Channelers: Thank you, Grandfather.
You mention the opening of another, fifth dimension.
What more can you tell us about that?

 

"As I have said earlier,
the Creation within which you now reside
is the last or most recent of seven local universes.
Your Creation is
where the most dense and restricted experiences of manifestation can unfold,
and where the most lost parts of Divine Will can be found.

 

 

"The six Creations before you are progressively less dense and restricted.
For instance, form change
and what would be other extraordinary feats of magic for you presently
have been more or less ordinary experiences for many creature-spirits
in the Creation just prior to your present experience of manifestation
in your more dense and time-restricted Creation.

 

 

"Understanding the manifesting power available in the 'fifth dimension'
is the key to understanding
how form change and other magic beyond your present imagination
can easily happen for you~~~
when time as you've known it ends.
Simply stated,
there are more dimensions available in manifestation
beyond the three spatial and single temporal dimension
that have been available within your own very limited venue
and the 'world' of your agreed-upon 'objective reality.'

 

"This very dense and limited reality
has made Creation feel like a prison or reform school
for spirits who had chosen
to merge with evolutionary creatures in manifestation
.
Human Beings, as well as all other forms,
are a mixture of the two primary essences of manifestation,
Spirit and Mother or 'matter.'
And all spirits who have come to Earth in human form
have found themselves restricted to only four dimensions of space-time.

 

 

"Some came here originally to escape unloving Spirit,
some came to explore and enjoy,
and others, like the spirits within most readers of this material,
came here to help.

Regardless of their initial motivation,
all spirits coming into manifestation here
felt the deep terror
of merging with density and severe restriction of time and gravity.
They each got caught up in their own karma
beginning with the shock and denials of the intensity,
and became trapped here
in what has seemed to them like an endless series of actions and reactions.

 

 

"The various religions and spiritual paths of Humanity
have sought to help disentangle spirits from form
and help them get free of manifestation
so they may once again return to their 'home' in the Heavens
and achieve the oneness of Spirit they left behind
and have sorely missed ever since coming here.

These teachings have not been wrong,
and yet they have missed the point of
why spirits migrated to Earth in the first place.


"The truth of why spirits are here
and having the experiences they've been having
goes beyond their motivations for coming here.

I've discussed in the introduction to the Body Class
the very good reasons
for things to have gone the way they have
in the seven manifested Creations,
including the very difficult pain and trauma of spirits in Human form.

 

"One way of understanding
why it's been so difficult for spirits on Earth to work out their karma is
that there has been very little real space here.
Your reality has been folded back on itself.
Imagine a cube made of paper that has been folded in such a way that it is now flat.
That flatness represents the four dimensions of manifestation that you are presently occupying.

 

"Now imagine the paper unfolding and resuming its proper shape as a cube.
While only one extra dimension was necessary for this transformation to happen,
the additional possibilities that are now available for the cube are nearly endless.

 

 

"The new dimension that will open
when time as you have known it ends~~~
is a second dimension of time.
The three familiar spatial dimensions will remain along with your present linear dimension of time.

 

 

"In addition to the human mind's sense of past, present and future,
another dimension of time becomes available
that is in a way perpendicular to your accustomed linear time.
The ever-expanding present moment
is a metaphor for how this new dimension of time will be experienced.
Please read what Body and I have already said
about the fifth dimension
for more details and understandings.

 

 

"The profound and completely unprecedented experience
of the 'end of time'
will come to each Human
when you have become truly whole,
when you have reclaimed all of your lost Will
and redeemed all of your lost Spirit.

And it is not Spirit,
it's the Divine Will,
the Mother and Grandmother,
the Universal Feminine within you
whose deep movement of Universal Will
opens the next dimension for your complete and whole Being
to unfold in timeless, eternal presence."


Your Magical Body

Thank you, Grandfather.
What can you say about the individual experience
of one's physical body
opening into five dimensions?

"You now have a temporal or 'mortal' body
which from your perspective
is subject to 'accidents,' death, illness, etc.
Death has been a necessary part
of your enfolded and very limited four-dimensional space-time venue.
And yet deep within you,
deep within Body has been a vague, distant knowing
that things could be very different.

 

 

"Children are much more in touch with this knowing
because like all of the Mother's wisdom,
knowledge of these all but forgotten realms
can be accessed only through feeling.
Children at play often touch the magic
that was available in the less dense Creations
that have preceded this one.
Memories of magical beings like fairies and elves
and magical creatures like unicorns, and satyrs
still flourish in Humans beneath the surface of your conscious awareness.

 

 

"The opening of the next dimension
opens the opportunity for true magic to prevail on Earth
very much like what was commonplace
in your ancient inklings of magical lands with magical creatures and beings.
Your parental and loving acceptance of self and others
will lead you naturally to true magic,
the ability to manifest whatever you desire,
change form
and remain present in manifestation without need of death and rebirth.

 

 

"For this to happen,
to survive this transition in dense physical form as you are now,
in this most dense of all Creations,
you will endure an intensity of energy and chaos
well beyond anything you can presently imagine.
Spirit has spoken of this and other related topics
in his letter to those doing the healing work.

 

 

"The way physical bodies manifest in four dimensions
is very different than the way they manifest in five dimensions,
and the transition from the old to the new
will be unprecedentedly intense in your experience,

especially for the first few Humans.
It will feel
as if all the terror that's ever been denied in Creation
has suddenly become alive
and moving in you as Body.
And yet, instead of your spirit instinctively escaping all of this intensity,
you will remain present and whole with it.
You will stay awake and alive through it
until you own it all.

 

 

"Then,
firmly planted in a newly unfolded space-time reality of five dimensions,
you as a sentient Will creature and conscious Spirit in union
will determine the shape and texture of the eternal moment
as it unfolds in and around you.
If new conditions are desired, new conditions appear.

 

"The 'laws' of nature
that seemed so fixed and determinant in four dimensions
are still available
when experiences like that are desired.

However,
that limited reality will no longer be necessary for you as Body,
now at home in the complete freedom
of manifesting five-dimensional space-time.

 

 

"The Mother's Dream includes of course Original Heart's desire
that your experience of wholeness of Being
be not only yours alone.
It speaks not only of your own wholeness and complete freedom,
it includes the same for others like you.

It includes your peers,
completely whole and fully realized Human Beings
who have also loved and healed themselves so fully~~~
that like you, they are now manifesting in a timeless magical Body
as you relate together on a completely new Earth."

"Higher Purpose", p. 183
Tomorrow, as you go through your day, tell yourself what a beautiful person you are.
See the beauty in yourself.
Feel your inner strength, acknowledge how good you are.
Recognize how loving you are, and sense the light around you.
Acknowledge yourself, and as you do so, look for your higher purpose.
You know what you want to do next.
You may have reasons why you cannot do it,
old memories and patterns that seem to stop you,
but you do know what you want.
Bring it up to the surface, pull it up from the unconscious, from the whispers in your mind,
and make it real.
Hold your vision in front of you.














LIVING IN HIGHER PURPOSE - PLAYSHEET
1.think of one specific goal you have right now. Write it here.


Today I did just this, without having read this sentence.
Knowing that Ya'acov would come, I was inspired by a specific "purpose":
to win him over for my "garden-vision", I had been fidgeting with once again.
And so, shortly after he arrived with the custom-made high, hard mattrasses,
we drove back north, for 2 1/2hours to the "Wallach-Nursery" at Gan-Hashomron,
and much later to Karkur, to my friend Ran, "the bamboo-man",
and from there finally back to Arad, where Boris awaited us at 11:30 PM
to help us with unloading 3 precious young trees, 5 Passiflora babies
and 11 bamboo-poles.
The "business"-meetings were extremely stressful for me,
but thanks to my peer I experienced a grand breakthrough,
which I have to breathe in and out before I'll be able to phrase it.
April 3 , 2012, Tuesday , Arad >Gan Shomron>Karkur>Arad







The coincidence between the beginning of a new garden,
~~~~this time intended to be a co-creation~~~~
-2013 ?????
and the documentation of the re-creation of "my" garden
on this very page, 4 years ago,
points to a mystical metaphor,
the purpose of which I need to grasp "in time".

Here I want to insert only two of the three photos,
which I made a short time before we set out to buy the plants
......
they will document,
what will be greatly enhanced in the coming months.


2008-04-03--- 2013_04-03DELICIOUS      DELETION

The coincidences on this day,
but also between this day and the day 4 years ago- see above -
are hardly graspable.
One of the smaller ones:
Ofir's friend, on the tractoron above, is called Ran.
My friend, with whom we worked out the "bamboo-project"
and from whom Ya'acov's car took 11 bamboo-poles of 3 m length
- for supporting the 2 existing and 5 future Passiflora -
is also called Ran.

Ran Lichtner ~~Bamboo Center ~~054-5436609
~~Bamboocenter1@gmail.com


Asaf, Ran's and Nava's 2 1/4 old son, - obviously a starchild - was a magnificent match for Ya'acov

 

 

2013

For a change: Not celebrating what is NOT right in the world:
A cynical "celebration" of Pesach,
Jonathan, my grandson, posted on Facebook
a quote from "Haaretz" and added a cellphone image,
12 soldiers, reservists who would have liked to be with their families,
had to guard an illegal settlement (illegal even in the eyes of the Israeli Government):
10 caravans, which were all empty, since their residents had gone to their families.

 

 


also on 2013-04-03

Arnon during his journey (with "No'ar Oved") to the Holocaust places in Poland at the end of March, 2013
Arnon with part of this group during a post-Poland gathering at the Mediterranean Sea on April 2, 2013

"You will be stunned by the Jewish Youth in Palestine...they have the look of freedom." wrote Herzl's only grandson, Stephen Norman,
after he visited Palestine as a Captain in the British Royal Artillery in winter 1945/46. He himself jumped to death
[see "The Family" in Wikipedia-"Herzl"]
After Arnon [who took these pictures] came back from the Sea, we had a talk about his journey.
Grandma: "What is your main question after you came in so close touch with the Holocaust?"
Arnon: "Why did the Jews let this happen, especially in the beginning of 1933?"
Grandma: "Why did you let it happen, that you did not feel a part of the group,
when you had your "pe'ulot", your talking about your experiences , in the evenings?
You say, the singing was alright, but the texts that were read, were too difficult for you to grasp so fast,
and only towards the end of the journey you understood, that you had missed out on something important.

Arnon: "If I am the only one, how could I ask the facilitator to slow down for my sake?
especially since I didn't understand, why the activity should be important at all."
Grandma: "Then you should have asked the facilitator to ignite your motivation for participating.
But you say: the "issue" is not important enough, and "Arnon" is not great enough.
You see, it starts with these tiny situations.
The Nazis proceeded in very small steps. The Nuernberg Laws for instance were issued only in 1935.
Or if they had killed 10 Jews in the market-place, people, and not only Jews, would have revolted.

In 1933 when Jewish doctors etc. were fired from their jobs,
the husband of Ilse, the sister of the wife of your greatgrandfather Franz Rosenzweig, decided to emigrate .
They had the money to pay for the expensive certificate which the British authorities in Palestine demanded.
Other people didn't have the money and didn't find a place to flee too,
Still other people were not doctors etc. and not personally concerned.

When the policy of annihilation is applied only gradually,
pertaining to only part of the population,
people do not wake up to take action,
just like you did not take action, even though it concerned yourself.
The "issue" is not important enough, and "Arnon" is not great enough.
Isn't it always the same ?

I don't know, if I could sow a seed .
