Kabbalah talks to us about the klippah, a shell of layers.
Christianity talks about sins, as does Judaism, and specifically about the sin of the first man, Adam.
The perception is of a shell that prevents you from seeing the God within yourselves.
The perception of sin is that the fact that you are in a body means that you are sinners; that we all bear the sin of the first man...
These perceptions prevent you from seeing God within yourselves.
God comes in many forms.
When you stand in front of a beautiful, breathtaking view, your breath catches, you pause, and you see God’s work. Why don’t you stand in front of the mirror and do just the same? Why don’t you stand in front of other people, too, and do the same? You are God’s creations.
The idea behind removing the shell is so we can see creativity not because the shell is broken but because it protects us. But it also obscures things. And if you believe blindly in the shell, you lose your ability to see God because God is inside you.
If you view yourselves as sinners, as bearing the sin of your ancestors, the sin of the first man, you prevent yourself from seeing the innocence and purity that you are.
Glorify God, because by glorifying God, you are glorifying yourselves: You are God within yourselves. [This is not about one God or according to one religion or another—Yael’s comment.]
This is the time for people to see the wholeness of who you are, and to act from within that wholeness. In Hebrew, the root of the word for criticism (bikorret) comes from the word for supervision (bakara), and it’s the place that supervises and watches over you. When you are under some kind of external supervision and criticism, it is hard for you to be yourself, also when you are the one criticizing yourself.
The purpose of criticism is to build shells and support shells. What if you were to embrace the criticism in a loving hug and tell it, “Thank you for trying to protect me, in any case I’m whole. I’m whole just as I am.”
Development will come from within that perception of yourself as a whole, from acceptance of who you are. Humankind teaches you that you’re not enough and you’re not okay. The divine connection will tell you that you are fine just as you are.
True healing, what this world aspires to, comes from acceptance and self-love. Because God accepts Himself, He has no criticism for who He is.
The cat lives its life in peace, as does the herd of sheep or the herd of buffaloes grazing in the meadow. There isn’t a single buffalo who says “Oh, maybe I’m not eating right.” There is no shy buffalo, no buffalo who doesn’t want to be part of the herd. There is no buffalo that looks at its reflection in the river and says, “I don’t look right.” The buffalo is nature, it is connected to nature, and it lives according to the laws of nature.
The human spirit incorporates consciousness as well, and consciousness can look in the mirror and not like what it sees. This, because its eyes are the eyes of the person…the eyes of society…the eyes of culture. They are not the eyes of the soul.
We’d like to recommend an exercise for you to do: The next time you stand in front of the mirror, look at yourself, close your eyes, say to yourself a few times: “I look at myself through the eyes of the soul that I am. I look at myself through the eyes of the soul that I am. When I open my eyes, I will look at myself now through the eyes of the soul that I am.”
Then open your eyes and look in the mirror. Pay attention to what is being revealed to you. You are whole. No one requires fixing. No one requires healing.
What does require healing or fixing are the shells and conceptions that prevent you from living your life as souls in matter.
This is our message for today.
Love,
The messengers of the stars and of the great light.
