Mutant Message
from Forever by Marlo Morgan
"All new encounters are tests – with food, with people, with
ideas. Smell everything
first. If someone tells you
something, smell it! If it smells
alright, then try just a little for the taste, but always chew it. Chew for a long time before you
swallow. Even words should be
chewed for a long time before swallowing because it is much easier to spit
something out than it is to get rid of it once you have already taken it
in. If you accept words within
yourself and the idea is not right to you, it will cause problems. It will cause lumps and bumps and
headaches and chest pains and stomachaches and rotting sores until you get it
out. Fortunately, with food it is
easier to vomit or have running bowels and be over the mistake quickly. Ideas and beliefs are more difficult to
expel. You see, there are things
the world outside this desert is doing that has caused much of life to become
altered. It is best not to assume
that something that appears normal or simply looks okay will be, in fact, safe."
"Our most difficult challenge has been to smell and taste the
words and beliefs of the European white world and to spit them out
politely. There are a few free
indigenous people left. Each year
the number is declining as more and more tribes are forced from their country
and must submit to living in the white world or die. I don’t really mean the white world. I must correct myself because skin
color has no bearing. It is the
thinking and the way of life, the change in values from the original laws that
have made humans become mutated.
Mutants come in all colors.”
“Each person has been given the gift of free will. That can never be taken away. So we are each free to travel our own
path, seek our own destiny, discover our own highest self. The group you travel with through life
will either support you positively or will continually present opportunities
for you to reach your own positive level in spite of them."
"Before you were born, when you were in Forever, you were
presented with the opportunity to have this human experience. You were aware of the circumstances of
your parents and still you saw it as a wonderful opportunity to advance your
enlightenment. Why look backward
to the “what if” and seek some logical or rational reasons to explain the
past? Today is a new day. We walk forward each new day. Today’s choice is today’s choice. You have been given many situations in
the past to learn tolerance, patience, expression, acceptance, kindness, love,
honesty, integrity and so on. If
you didn’t learn it as a child, it will come around again, I assure you. If you did learn it, fine! The situations are unimportant. The graduation is what counts.”
“Much of our peace, I think, comes from our methods of
child-rearing. There are no
unwanted children…Our planned parenthood was very different because the unborn
soul was in control. When the
spirit wished to enter the human school of experience, it made that desire
known. Our whole community awaited
the spirit’s arrival. All other
children of a clan became its brothers and sisters, all the women were like
second mothers, and all the men were second-fathers. Children never lacked attention or love. Each was encouraged and treasured. Children drank from the breast until
they were three or four years old, and the pleasure of nursing was shared by
numerous women."
"You see, we know all babies regardless of gender are born
multitalented. All humans are born
with the ability to do so many wonderful things in life, we seldom live long
enough to explore it all. Everyone
is a singer, dancer, artist, healer, teacher, leader, clown, storyteller and on
and on. We may not believe it, may
not be interested in part of it, but that doesn’t diminish the talent. It only means we do not recognize or
honor that part of ourselves.”
“We didn’t have to come to Earth to be made whole. We didn’t elect to be here to find that
it is an all-or-nothing journey. It is not a fail-or-pass course. But unlike other life forms, humans are accountable. We have choice. We have free will and are aware of
it. We alone decide our own degree
of self-discipline and are accountable for that. We are creative beings. We have unlimited access to the creative. We are here for one another, to help,
to nurture, to entertain, to interact.
We are here to care for this planet. With our consciousness comes the knowledge of energy and the
stewardship of it. We have a full
array of emotions and ultimately discover that the key is quite simple. It really is to love without
judgment. If anything appears
complicated, it isn’t love. It is
something else. Love is helping,
giving or receiving, whichever role proves helpful. Humans can achieve wisdom, but other life forms don’t have
that opportunity. Emotional wisdom
is part of our earthly assignment.”
“If we could only remember our Foreverness, we would easily
see that Earth is the school of emotion.
Our energy is combined differently from the energy of other things like
rain or fire and is different from the energy of the other growing forms, like
plants and animals. It is
unique. We as humans are here to
experience emotion and to use our bodies as vehicles to achieve emotional
wisdom. The body is the way in
which humans receive guidance from the spirit world, from the Source, from all
our ancestors, from our own perfect Forever self. All the body senses – seeing, hearing, tasting, feeling and
smelling – are connected to emotion.
Actually, I should say emotion is connected to the senses, because the
emotion is the foundation.”
“Water asks no questions, it accepts and conforms to
whatever the shape of the container happens to be. Water can be hot, cold, steam, rain. It is very adaptable. It nourishes plants, animals, fish and
man. It respects all life and
gives of itself freely. Water is
weak, yet a drop at a time can make a hold in a stone. Man can make it muddy, but when left
undisturbed it clears itself.”
“I feel now that I was called here not to get information
and report back, but instead, to give information. I feel pulled toward helping in some way to remind people of
our heritage and restore pride and dignity. Perhaps the time has come for us to influence the mutants
instead of buckling under to their power and demands. Maybe it is time for bee nectar!”
Message from Forever, written by Bee Lake
"Forever
Oneness,
Who sings to
us in silence,
Who teaches
us through each other,
Guide my
steps with strength and wisdom,
May I see
the lessons as I walk,
Honor the
purpose of all things,
Help me
touch with respect,
Always speak
from behind my eyes,
Let me
observe, not judge,
May I cause
no harm, and leave
Music and
beauty after my visit,
When I
return to Forever,
May the
circle be closed and
The spiral
be broader.”
In'shala.
May it BEE.
And, so it is.
