Inspirational Snippet: The Human Costume

I've been reading again. Always a good thing and thankfully, my flight to Michigan provided ample time. I found something I really wanted to share with you from Emmanuel's Book II: The Choice to Love. The following truly resonated with me:

"The sense of Self is distracted by what you have been taught are the necessities of human survival. You have worn these belief systems as part of your costume all your lives..... Your costume has become your identity. Every "mistake" you have been taught you made comes from the illusion that you should conform to your costume. YOU have never made a mistake."

I hope you hear this reminder. "YOU have never made a mistake." Each step a long your path truly is paved with opportunities for you to become more you. We are taught from the moment we are birthed how, what and who we are based on someone else's experiences. Our teachers being those within our immediate circle: being parents and extended family we interact with. Is it a bad thing? No, of course not. We chose our parents to experience just what they were ready to teach us (yes, even those of you who may not want to admit to it or own the responsibility for choosing the life you are living). They were to be our first teachers in this world. Some of you may be wondering why would I ever choose this? You chose this because the way they raised you good, bad or indifferent (depending on how you viewed it) was exactly what you needed to learn the things you came here to learn.

Those experiences paved ways for growth opportunities. You were not meant to hold those belief systems intact unless of course they fit you. If you are not "happy" living the life you are living, it is time to ask yourself: Am I conforming to what other people believe? Does this life that I am living fit my dreams and goals? Or do these dreams and goals belong to someone else? Each time you have judged yourself or someone else for the mistakes that you have made you are still trying to fit (conform) to those belief systems. For those mistakes that you call them are simply opportunities to break free from the costume you have been "donning" since childhood. Your job is to find that learning what you were taught is the fuel that empowers your need to discover yourself. We are meant to shine from whatever circumstances we have been given. The beauty of who you are is truly attainable.

Are you willing to shed your costume? Are you willing to empower yourself beyond where you are? Are you willling to shine your light? I promise you that if you do this--not only will you develop a new "costume", but your life will take turns toward what it is you desire!

With an open heart of love,
Estara

Inspirational Snippet: Ending of Relationships

I was reading again and this book has been such a great read and great reminder of things. The book is called: Emmanuel's Book Compiled by Pat Rodegast and Judith Stanton. (By the way this book was written back in 1985) I highly recommend this to be a great read for you. Much of what you read will be stuff you already know and feel, but it is a helpful reminder to help you through these times of change and transition.

Over the last couple of years, I have noticed people waking up and making huge changes with their life. I also have noticed many people struggling and resisting what they are feeling especially in terms of their relationships. Our society teaches if you get married that you should stay together no matter what. I know I was raised to believe that once you get married, it is supposed to last forever; but a few years back I wrote (channeled an article called Relationships: Our Road Map on our Soul's Journey) and it put everything into perspective for me. If you want to read that article it is located at my blog: www.aprildamato.blogspot.com . I was reading a passage in the book that really resonated with me regarding relationships and the article I had written a few years ago. This information is simply a rediscovery of our soul knowledge. Recently, I have had many people coming in for guidance about their relationships and my guides suggest that now is the time to share this information again.

Now, I would like to preface this "excerpt" with the following: a divorce is not for everyone at this time; however, there are some of you trying to understand why you or your spouse may be filing for divorce or strongly contemplating it. Remember, we are not just physical beings we are spiritual beings with spiritual lessons to be learned on this physical plane. Emmanuel's Book Excerpt:

"Why are so many marriages ending in divorce? It is because people have accelerated their growth processes. Souls come together, not to remain together in physical contact, but to grow. When this has taken place the gifts have been given and the lessons have been learned. So don't you agree that it's time to move on? All things are in order, Do not be alarmed by change. Things are speeding up not to leap into the pit of destruction, but to come to that plateau of understanding that you are seeking."

"What can I do a concerning my deteriorating marriage? Let it deteriorate. Marriage is another word for relationship and when a relationship no longer serves, if you have scraped the bottom of the barrel to find the meaning, to find the lessons, to find the essence of why you have come together, and this has not brought forth what you are seeking, what more can you possibly do? If there is no true wedding it matters very little how you close it. Can you not let this go with your love and your blessings so the next time you meet this soul again there will be more compatibility, more compassion, more understanding? For you will meet again."

In love and light,
EstaRa

Inspirational Snippet: Choose Love

I was reading again recently and ran across a question that the author of the "Emmanuel Book" had asked of Emmanuel and my guides shouted to me share this. I asked why? They said because this is what you have been saying, but sometimes humans need to hear it from more than one source for it to resonate with them. So here it is...

The question: Can you give me a mantra to use when I feel lost in my own depression and fear?

Emmanuel Responds: When, without even knowing the meaning of it, you say with every inhalation, "I choose love here. I choose love," You will see the light change and the darkness dispel. Your mind may say, "I don't understand what happened. All I did was sit here for fifteen minutes choosing love." Well, mind, that's all that is required.

Can you feel that? Even in the midst of chaos, emotional pain and physical discomfort, you can feel it. Try it now for just one breath and then another. How does that feel? Imagine 5 minutes of that a day? The magic would be yours to receive peace and love while quieting the lifelong drama of fear that one so often chooses. It feels really good I just tried it before I wrote this to you.

In love and light my dear soul friends,
EstaRa

Heading back to Luxor for Our Last Supper

We are on the bus ride back toward the hotel. We just saw our last temple and that would finish our temple hopping—that is what I call this experience. It really was like we hopped from one temple to the next and the next. It was late in the day when we arrived and I was tired. Tired from the emotions, tired from the physical aches and tired from not sleeping well…I am just overall tired.

We are now heading back to the hotel for our last group dinner together in Luxor at the same restaurant we went to the afternoon we arrived in Luxor. Originally, we had additional time at the hotel to shower, relax and pack before we went to dinner, but surprise we don’t have that time. Well, it didn’t surprise me and honestly at some moments, I think it is best that we keep moving otherwise I may just get sucked into a crying jag and not overcome it. We have about 45 minutes to pack up, freshen up and meet at the restaurant for our last dinner together and officially we would separate into the three groups. Those of us on the sleeper train, those of us on the airplane and those of us on the “nasty train”. It turns out that we are divided evenly as a group for those three modes of transportation, but we are all to arrive at different times. Okay, off I go to pack my stuff…see you on the sleeper train.

Eternal Quest for the Bathroom at Denderah

It was late day on our way back from the Temple to the bus and a few of us really needed to use the bathroom. I have to admit that while on this trip I have established that the bathrooms here in Egypt are quite disgusting and my threshold to dirty has become relative to the place I am in which allowed me to pee in places that were lesser than I would ever consider in America. That being said, I really don’t like having to pee on transportation things like bus, train, etc. And, just a preview for tonight—we take the “sleeper train” back to Cairo. So , I thought here are Denderah there is a little extra time for me to find the potty that wasn’t moving. I made my way with a small group of Jeanne, Meg and Carole to find the bathroom. We walked through the little village that is established outside of the Temple building itself so it would be considered part of the “park” at one of our monuments in the US. And, there were shops that were closing and shops that were opened trying to get our business and public bathrooms. However, to use the public bathroom there was a man at the door trying to collect money. Really? I couldn’t believe it. We attempted to go to a few before we finally found one. They were really gross, but then we found one that was lesser than the others. We finally made our way into one that they were only charging if we wanted toilet paper and well me the tissue queen (thanks Angels for making me sick with the flu before I left for my trip because that is what prompted me to bring so many tissues!!) had enough in her bag for each person with me. Of course, one tissue each, but it worked and we didn’t have to pay—though the man followed us out the door trying to collect money from us for just using the potty. I have to admit I won’t miss this. I feel really dehydrated on this trip I surely do not drink as much I do when I am at home---but I warn you…it is a good thing!!

Arriving at Denderah

We arrived at the Temple at Denderah with barely enough time to see it. We had maybe an hour to visit the temple and do all that we needed to do here before it closed. This temple was built dedicated to Hathor and I could definitely feel the Hathor energy here at Denderah. It was so much lighter than Abydos and so much lighter than many of the other temples. As the Goddess of love, joy and music you could tell the difference in the feeling of this temple upon arrival at Denderah. Each step we took it was softer than any of the other temples that was the first thing I noticed here. It was quite a walk from the entrance gate to the temple itself and you could see it was becoming late afternoon at this point.

While I was still feeling really raw from the whole experience of this trip and the healings that were happening to me each night with past life memories, healing old wounds of this lifetime and many previous lifetimes, surprisingly because this energy was so light, I was able to hold back my tears for this whole time.

As we approached the entrance of this grand temple, there were six columns and an opening in the middle where it felt like there were these grand doors, but as you can see there is only this large opening to what felt like a courtyard. I feel like dancing or something took place here. We made our way through and to the back where there rooms were very tall and large and there was some amazing pictures etched into the stone that I was not able to capture because I didn’t take my camera out as it was getting dark.

We walked in groups up to the top of the temple which was like the roof with no roof on it. That is the only way I could describe it. Solara was looking for a place for us to come together in a circle where we wouldn’t get into trouble. The thing is we have been dodging guards at all these places because they do not like anyone coming together in a circle and it could cause our “Tour Guides” to get into some trouble not to mention us too. I didn’t even bother to take out my camera up here because it was getting dark and the lighting would affect what came out and truly we didn’t have the time.
To find our place to gather, we climbed many steps, but they were not steep like steps we know. They were flat and each step was like only a couple of inches high. When they created this they did like 12 steps and then it became a flat and then you turned a corner and up another set. I felt like in this temple there were more stairs than any other with the exception of the Great Pyramid. It was incredible how steps we climbed and on some levels we would see rooms off the side. I saw in one of the rooms we stopped to look in that the rocks had faces in them. It was really quite an amazing journey.

As we made our way up to this open top, it was like the top floor without a roof---It was all open to the sky with the exception of one room we made our way to. This room was enclosed and on the floor was a giant circle with the signs of the zodiac. It was definitely a magical room and we chose this to gather at first, but then the space was really not large enough for our group of 33 to fit around this room and the guards came and moved us. So we made our way out to this area that was almost like a room with a column on each of the four corners. There were no walls and no roof, but it seemed just perfect for our group even if just out in the open. So we gathered together in our last circle in a temple as a group on this trip. We held hands and called light into this time and space. As I stood there, I still felt quite raw from all that has been transpiring, but I was able to hold back the tears. It was interesting because as soon as we gathered here and called in the light, it was as if there was no one else around. I felt like we had become invisible into a new dimension. It was very incredible. I had still remained very much the quiet one on the trip which is by no means who many of you know me to be.

We were then left to visit the rest of the temple on our own for the next 20 minutes and then we were to make our way back out to the bus.
Love this little person so I had my picture taken with him, it made me feel tall considering these temples in size were huge. Okay so it really was a pillar that was broken and he was the top of the pillar, but right now he is on the ground so it made me look tall. hahaha

The Call of the Crystal at Abydos

We are now back on the bus. Lunch as usual was not very eventful or exciting; however, it was something to eat and there was some cool parts too!! Being Italian and loving tomato sauce am quite amazed how much I am disliking tomato sauce on rice. That is all I seem to be able to get here and oranges. How much acid can one endure in their diet? I know they have bread (you all know by now just how much bread they have there), but I can't eat it to help balance the acidic foods...I am gluten sensitive and believe me I do not want to do anything on this trip that would make me feel physically in pain and hence that is what gluten has done to me.

Tears have been coming and going still, but not the flood gates like yesterday; though I think you can tell if you look at my eyes that I had been crying enough tears to flood the Nile here.

So anyway, we have eaten, I have used the bus bathroom which is by far the cleanest bathroom I have encountered on this trip with the exception of the hotels we have been staying at. Yes, imagine that I have developed a new standard in bathrooms...look out America cause here I come and McDonald's will not be my only "pee stop" I am no longer afraid to brave the less than perfect bathrooms. I guess that is the lesson Egypt is teaching me that and not to drink so much water. hahaha

I digress, we are on our way to Denderah now. But I have to tell you the story of my crystal. When lunch was over, the restaurant people had placed a bunch of quartz crystals over on another table for us to purchase. The mountain at Abydos is made of Quartz Crystals. Everyone on this trip had brought with them large crystals and really I didn't bring too many. Just a few that I had carried in my pouch including the one I had gifted to Sekhmet. Right after lunch we all walked over to the table to look at the crystals to see if we wanted to purchase one from the mountain. I saw many on the table of all different sizes. I saw large crystals and I wanted a large ornate looking one that I could use when I channeled like Solara An Ra had. She held these amazing crystals and it helped her connection to her guides. I was thinking maybe the larger the crystal the more connection I would have. So I walked over to the table and picked up all these crystals and felt nothing.

Then, there was this one. I immediately felt a vibration in my hand. I put it down and I really felt like it called me. I picked it up again. It wasn't the pretty one, but it was one that could be held in my hand and it picked me really. It was the only crystal on the table of many that called out to me and that I felt a vibration with. It was truly amazing.

I am holding the crystal now and I can't wait to go to sleep with it tonight.

Channel: Angelic League of Light in Council to Twinflames

Angelic League of Light in Council to the Twinflames channeled through EstaRa in Rocky Hill, CT on Thursday, August 4th, 2011 at 9:30 a.m.

I asked if spirit had a message for me today and that is what I am sharing with you. (It is somewhat personal; but it is intended for a larger audience as stated in the message. It has specific guidance for twinflames.) By the way, I have never channeled this group before (I don't think) and I feel so honored to get this message today and it was so needed for me as a reminder.



Yes, dear one we do. We always have words of wisdom to impart to you. You are loved. You are loved beyond your human mind’s capability to grasp this love. You are exactly where you are meant to be. We say do not put energy into worrying about your move. We say do not put energy into fear of where the money is coming from. We say do not put energy into worrying about how Hawaii will happen. All will happen according to the divine plan. Your spirit self knows that which we speak of today.

Today, we ask you to focus only on divine love that you wish to experience. Your focus must be on what you wish to experience. You are not able to connect to your beloved or his life at this time due to the circumstances he is in. Dear one, he is safe and protected for he is to be with you –however, his world is colliding and collapsing in duality. He must be brought to you by way of divine love. He has tried in the human way as have you, dear one. Now it is time to trust in the divine and see what miracles will transpire. It is with love, honor and respect that we bring you this message today.

Dear one, your reunion with your beloved other half is imminent—all is in perfect divine order—for this is the year of the twinflame reunions—we ask you to see the signs for they are posted for all to see. If you stay in the divine knowing that love is the experience you wish to choose then you will see our message undoubtedly. You will see what is necessary for your path. Listen within your heart and trust in the love you know to be the truth. The twin love is necessary to bring this planet into the changes that are transpiring—you are not alone on this path—many are following—many are ready for reunification—it that is what you desire you must trust your heart. We say do not get caught in your mind for there it will unravel what you feel and know to be true. This message should be shared for the beloved ones need to prepare by only staying in the heart which is why you feel the need to be alone and way from many people who allow themselves to be trapped in 3D. We ask you to be selective of those you spend time with. Trust in this guidance as it will feel like a remembrance of truth for you and assist you in knowing how you spend your time. It is a joy to work with you beloved, Estara. It is a joy to see you grow into who you truly are—an Earth Star Angel---that is your name E star A. it is with light, love and honor we bring you this message. We are with you ALWAYS. Even in those moments you feel we are not there.


We are the Angelic League of Light in Council to the Twinflames.

Inspirational Snippet: Trust in the Divine Plan

Good Morning. The sky is the most beautiful blue painted with whimsical white clouds that look like angels dancing in the wind. I had an appointment cancel last evening which worked out to my benefit because I got the opportunity to sit outside and read in the evening air. I loved it!! I don’t often get to do that so the first thing is that I am grateful for my cancellation. While I was sitting outside reading, I found a passage that really resonated with me and I wanted to share it with all of you.

The book is “Emmanuel’s Book”, the passage:

“How can we stop worrying about the ones we love? By trusting the absolute wisdom of each soul. Worry is distrust put into a slot that seems socially acceptable. If you say, “I am worried about my children,” everyone says, “Yes, of course,” and thinks you are a good parent. But if you should say, “I really don’t trust the Divine Plan,” what do you think the reaction would be?”

This passage really spoke to me because of what is happening on the earth at this time. My guides have been preparing us to stay in the balance and the love regardless of what is happening around us. As I read this, it was quite the reminder, but really hit home with the last part for me. I think for me this week, my new mantra will be: “I TRUST THE DIVINE PLAN”. That should cover about all of it.

This has been an important reminder for me with some recent events in my personal life too. I am grateful for the reminder—hope you are too. Trusting in the divine plan is by far one of the most beautiful gifts you can give yourself and the ones you love. It simply means you TRUST. I trust each of you to find your truth within you and I trust in the wisdom of your soul.

Be love,
EstaRa

Whisperings of EstaRa

We are now sitting outside the Temple at Abydos waiting for the others to arrive. We are getting ready to have lunch at this little hut--yes that is what it looks like I have to say. It is an outdoor restaurant. We are sitting having some "boiled mint". No more mint tea here because we have found that mint tea is black tea with a few pieces of mint thrown in there so we have learned to ask for "boiled mint".

I am still in awe at the experience in the Temple. Our mission in this temple was to go where we felt we needed to be to bring light. We were told by the P's "Some may go in groups and some may go by themselves to different chambers to bring light." We were also guided to sing our name in the frequency there. Solara An Ra channeled that 22 of us had been in this Temple before and I feel like I was definitely one of them. Well, I know I was, but I wasn't there as April or as Ra'chel. BUT I was there as someone else.

About 6 months ago in July of 2010, I had done a meditation and spoke to my highest self and was given the star name of "EstaRa". It didn't resonate with me then, but today it did! We were asked to sing our name to activate our energy with the frequency of Abydos. I was walking through the temple, I was humming love, love, love and then I felt ready to sing my name. I started to sing "Ra'chel" and it didn't come out very well, but I kept hearing "EstaRa" in my head. Someone was calling out to me and they were calling me my name...I began to sing "EstaRa". My whole body began to tingle and cover with the energy. It enveloped my body. Oh my goodness. At this point, I was alone singing "EstaRa" it felt so right. What did not resonate with me last summer was somehow transforming my very being at the moment I was singing "EstaRa".

I haven't told anyone as of yet--it would be too confusing for me. I mean they are calling me Ra'chel and I am already April and to add a third name, really?? Oh my goodness. Anyway, there is a lot for me to digest today. I am EstaRa. I have to see how that feels and try it on at some point. It feels really good inside.
