Message from the Grandmothers

[Myriel RAouine]

 

 

"This is the Net of Light that will hold the earth during the times of change that are upon you. The time is now and women must lead. It can be no other way." The Great Council of the Grandmothers are calling us to step into our power. All are welcome to this work. There is no charge for the Grandmothers' Empowerment. http:// www .grandmothersspeak.com The Net of Light (In Other Words) When the Grandmothers first gave us the Net of Light in 1996 and asked us to work with it each time we met, we knew nothing of this concept, yet immediately felt the power of its loving connection. We have worked steadily with it now for almost fifteen years and have witnessed how strong and all pervading it has become. Now we learn that the Net of Light/Web of Light/Indra's Net/Grid of Light is referred to in the Hindu Vedas and other scriptures. How wonderful that this radiant Net is so vitally present on earth now, at a time when our planet needs it the most. How wonderful also that we can work in partnership with it, each of us magnifying the radiant jewel within our heart to bless and hold our beloved earth in this Net. Below are some beautiful descriptions of the Net of Light. The universe is uncaused, like a net of jewels in which each is but a reflection of all others in a fantastic interrelated harmony without end.     Ramesh Balsekar Indra's Net Far away in the heavenly abode of the great God Indra, there is a wonderful net which has been hung by some cunning artificer in such a manner that it stretches out indefinitely in all directions, in accordance with the extravagant tastes of deities. The artificer has hung a single glittering jewel at the net's every node, and since the net itself is indefinite in dimension, the jewels are indefinite in number. There hang the jewels, glittering like stars of the first magnitude. A wonderful sight to behold. If we now arbitrarily select one of these jewels for inspection and look closely at it, we discover that in its polished surface there are reflected all the other jewels in the net, infinite in number. Not only that, but each of the jewels reflected in this one jewel is also reflecting all the other jewels, so that the process of reflection is infinite.      Thu-Shun 600 BC     Sit Yourself Down With a Friend; Sit Yourself Down With a Stranger/May Message from Grandmothers Speak The Grandmothers were calling, coming into my mind; clearly they had something to teach. What, I wondered, were they going to say? So much was happening now-Bin Laden dead, continued rioting in the Middle East, floods, tornados, and draughts at home, and financial meltdowns everywhere. The world situation was pretty sobering. What did they want us to know? I wondered as I stepped into the Stone Circle to meet them. But when I looked up, what I saw was them, circling in space. Wearing brightly patterned skirts, the Grandmothers were whirling together. I stood and watched them, not saying a word. I had taken the world's trauma so much to heart that I was really feeling it, so I stood there staring until finally I whispered, "Help, Grandmothers. Give us guidance and give it NOW. Teach us what we need to learn." Giving just a cursory glance, they said, "Listen to us," and whirled on. "What are they doing?" I wondered as I watched. "Time is flying by," they said and added, "there is little time left." When I heard 'little time left,' my heart lurched. "Little time to prepare, little time to learn what you must," they said, "so listen closely." Now my concentration was so intense, I was standing rigidly at attention. "We were with you in Alabama," they said and my eyes opened wide. Why, I wondered, are they talking about that? "There are more important things to deal with now," I thought, but they paid no attention to me. "We opened the sites in Alabama to more light and we brought together those who will hold that light steady. And through their work," they said, "the Net of Light will shine brighter and hold stronger. It will cradle the southern part of the United States now," they said, "and fully cover it. As they work with the Net of Light the fearful darkness that in the past held this part of your country in thrall will lift and lift," they smiled. "You worked hard and well with the Net in Alabama," they nodded, looking pleased, "and that good work will continue. "Our next big Gathering will be in Holland," they said, "and after that, in the southern hemisphere (Australia and New Zealand). There will also be others," they said. "Our work is spreading deep and wide." And giving me a knowing look, they added, "Do not be concerned about how quickly or slowly it seems to be spreading. Let go of that," they said. "Let go also your ideas about how this work "should" evolve. Know that we are directing it," they said. "Yes, Grandmothers," I nodded, my eyes big. "We are directing everything," they said. "The Net of Light is anchoring and multiplying its reach throughout the earth now--just as it should. From this time forward," they said, giving me another meaningful look, "follow our guidance and do not reach for anything. Do what we give you to do. That is all. This is our message to you," they said, holding me with their eyes, "and it is our message to everyone. Follow, and let the Divine be your guide. "The Yang-based/Yin ignoring ways that have controlled the earth for so long are dying," they said. "We know this is hard to grasp, as a Yang-focused world is the only one you have ever known. But the arrogance and selfishness of this unbalanced way of living is coming to an end. When you were young, you were conditioned by the energy of Yang and taught to ignore the energy of Yin, and because of your early conditioning, it feels natural to you to assume that there is always something you need to 'do.' "But as this action-centered way of life comes to an end, we (the Grandmothers or any form of the Divine you love) will 'do' everything. You can count on us. When you turn your attention away from the world 'out there' and instead listen within, we will guide you every step of the way. We encourage you to do this now. You have reached retirement age," they said and laughed at the surprised look on my face. "You can let go now of your addiction to being super responsible," they said. "It's okay," they reassured me. "Relax. After all, you are simply along for the ride." They laughed and I stared at them, my mouth hanging open. This was NOT the lesson I had expected. "Instead of 'working, working, working' at life," they continued, "whenever possible, gather with a group of like-minded souls and sit and listen to one another. Share time and share your light. Hold parties, gatherings, and circles," they said, giggling as my jaw dropped further. "Sit around a table and share food. Talk, and pray together. Embrace one another and appreciate and celebrate your differences. Enjoy each other!" they cried. "Love one another. Let go of 'working' so hard and instead, revel in your togetherness. You are Here!" the Grandmothers cried. "You are here at this momentous time in history and you are here together! How wonderful it is to share such a moment. "You are companions on the way, so celebrate as you continue on the path. All of you are quite wonderful. We love and cherish each of you. Please love and cherish one another too," they said, "for when you do, our love spreads and multiplies. It can then cover the earth and infuse every form of life on your planet. It's time to let go of the "hardness" and "efforting" of Yang," they said, patting me to reassure me. "Let go of striving, of worry, fear, and judgment. What joy did any of these ever bring you anyway?" they asked, throwing their hands in the air. "Instead," they said, "sit yourself down with a friend; sit yourself down with a stranger. Appreciate him or her and while you're doing that, be aware of how very much we appreciate you. We do!" they cried. grandmothersspeak.com Besides attending one of the up-coming Grandmothers' Gatherings listed below, you can link up with a Grandmothers' events hosted by one of our Grandmothers' groups near you.
