ISIL consider themselves Freedom Fighters. They are very sure their quest is noble and on the right track. What are your thoughts about them and how do your thoughts hinder or help their progress?
This is a session with Mercredan (via Master Channeller Francis Evans) interviewed by Susan Worth. I’m going to bring you in part way through the session. There are so many topics my page heading would be 5 lines long if I included them all!
I’ve added my own thoughts in italics.
Topics covered: More on the Known, Unknown and Unknowable; choosing and creating your future in the parallel universes, no ownership or possession – only creation, dreams, ancient mythology, self discipline, attracting your own disciples, limitations to freedom, finding compassion in order to evolve, understanding ISIL, lighten up

BEGIN
—
S: …Okay. Do you think that there are any questions Francis would like answered, if he were able to sit here and ask you something for his own benefit, what that might be or what might help him?
All personal questions benefit the whole
M: Let us say consciousness is unitary. Everyone is connected at some level of the consciousness.
(When you ask a question via a channeller, even though the answer seems personal, it is useful to pretty much everyone else who reads/hears it as well. Others might find insight in the information in a completely different way from you – this is the magic of connectedness and the skill in translation of the interpreter (the channeller). This is also why we have been transparent in sharing sessions on this blog of the most personal nature about relationships, sexuality, money, career, self doubt, frustrations, … all sorts of things that each of us face as a part of life.)
So every question is relevant to the whole, because evolution, as it were, is the evolution of understanding. The evolution of consciousness then is becoming more aware of, and understanding, that which is as yet unknown. We have spoken about the levels of consciousness: the known, that is what is already available; the unknown, that which is being explored; and the unknowable, that which is in pure potential. And so it is that consciousness engages deeper and deeper sympathies, shall we say, with the known and the unknown.
And it is the fears that generate inside of consciousness that one wants to cease evolution, one wants to hold on to what is known and avoid that which is unknown. And that is a powerful conclusion, shall we say, because everyone alive understands the fear of the unknown. And when you begin to avoid it, you begin to become limited and limiting. And that is why fundamental beliefs challenged by those who it explore become the basis for mass conflicts and eventually wars and so on. So it is, as I have pointed out, the new consciousness as it begins to break through the barriers, leaves behind greater fears by those who are fundamental in their ideologies. So you will find much conflict, much wars and much disturbances, and those that have fears will eventually wish to kill or be killed for them.
S: And that’s eventually what’s going to happen, isn’t it, as we go through this shift?
M: Let us say as the shift takes a greater acceleration, the two defining bodies eventually separate in ways that produce two points of focus. The physical world is a point of focus…
Parallel Universes
M: Put it this way. From where you stand in the present time, the future is displayed in many, many ways. Many options are available, and it is only where one points one’s consciousness that creates the next frame, and the next direction and so on. And that is what makes for what you call reality. The other options are by no means disappeared, but remain other options, other routes as yet not taken. And often people want to change reality, in effect change from one set of choices to another — to another route, another road, which leads to a very different future.
Does that makes some sort of sense?
No ownership, only creation and experience
S: It does. I have a friend who’s with me, and we were having a conversation shortly before this session about what happens to the energy that makes us who we are, the essence of our “selves,” what happens to that energy when our physical bodies die?
M: The energy, as you put it, is not old. Often human beings have a framework of ownership, and I’ve spoken a little bit about this, that you own the house or the car or the cat or dog, or you own your body, or you own your hair, everything is ownership, rather than it is simply the creation and the spinoff of a fundamental energy that is beyond ownership.
So often you consider that energy as one’s “soul,” as if there are millions of souls and they are separate in spirituality. Of course not! There is no separation at all. So the energy that is focused at this point for one’s personal and one’s spiritual understanding is only on loan.
It is part of the universal, that is forever growing because each individual, as they focus attention into a physicality, a physical being, are learning and experiencing. The experience brings the unknown into the known. And that, then, is part of the universal evolution of the whole, of what you would call God. God the unknowable is always expanding into the unknown and via its creation, human beings, into the known. And in that way, it is an endless approach, as it were, at levels well beyond the physicality.
However, one should not dismiss physicality because it is the framework by which experience is most definitely best operated. It is the plane of experience, and it is the learning point of all consciousness. That is why, as I have said so many times, the inner beings look upon human incarnates as the heroes of consciousness. Because these ones have descended into limited frameworks in order to help grow the entirety of all of the cosmic fields. Does that make sense?
(Read this link to understand that further. Over and over I’ve heard repeated from many sources “You are far more than you could possibly imagine.” We are indeed and the eyes of the Universe are watching us like a great big Reality TV show. How are we going to handle this dispute or that challenge? From alliances of countries up against each other, right down to our own personal little challenges in life, all is observed and creates learning. You are important and the way you learn to overcome or dissolve your challenges benefits many more than just yourself. You are a hero!)
Is there anyone out there other than us?
S: Yes. Absolutely. Are there places in the cosmos where there is other physicality, besides that which is on our own planet?
M: That is more difficult to answer, because one’s eyes are preset in a specific form. There are alternate options even within your own planetary system, but they are not in the sense of the physicality that you personally experience. In other words, the entirety of the cosmos is the expression of the Divine in form. And everything is made in the image of the Divine.
(This is so often mis-interpreted in the bible when it says man was made in the form of God. That does not mean God looks like man. It means man was made in the expression of the Divine – a non-physical perfect form that is more “cosmic” than 3D.)
M: Every one and every thing is cosmic in its form. I understand this might be a little overwhelming for the mind, because everything then is reflective of the consciousness viewing it. So you see in your own eyes that which is relevant to the experiences that you have desired. And it is so much that if you look into the cosmos, you will discover everything is somehow an important reflection.
The Inner and Outer Dream World
M: I want to point out this: In our discussions with that dear soul that is in Australia, she was talking about a dream. (He’s talking about me, Annabelle, discussing a dream with Francis a few days earlier.) And each one considers that you are the totality of your dream world. All the beings and people and events on the inside of the dream you accept are your creations for whatever purpose you actually seem to be. And then when you turn your mind to the physical world, you somehow separate yourself from it and expect that it is somewhat solid in difference. But in reality, the physical world is as much the dream as the dream in the inner world is. And everything then is as relevant to the eyes that are perceiving it than as well as the inner dream is. You create it all.
And everything is created for purpose in the exploration of consciousness.
And consciousness is about how you see things. How you perceive the world. And how you might perceive it, how you can gain more perception by altering one’s limited viewpoints.
S: Getting rid of the tyrant.
M: Of course. Because you are truly under the power of one’s own tyrant, that is even one’s own creation as well.
(Susan mentions “the tyrant” and is talking about that self critic inside which constantly berates you for your mistakes and lack of perfection. You own that tyrant, You can teach it to be more forgiving and encouraging. Sure, you have to recognise when you failed. Just take it as a way to learn to do it better next time, much like a baby falling over many times as it learns to walk.)
Looking to Ancient Mythology for the learning
M: So you could say in the world that your forebears offered so many views and perceptions, but they have never quite been understood. I want to orient you to the world of ancient myth. Because it looks as if these are stories of irrelevance, but they are truly perceptions into the inner world of consciousness. They are the gatekeepers of consciousness.
S: Really?
M: Because everybody holds within them those, what you call archetypes that offer their assistance and call one to account.
S: Okay.
Limitations on Freedom
M: So the dark forces are as much part of the plane as what you would call the light source. One would not let a baby play out on the road; one puts a fence to stop him. The fence, as far as the child is concerned, is an obstacle. It is the dark force. And yet would you let anybody play with your nuclear weapons? Of course not, because that is dangerous. And yet when you first began to stockpile them, wasn’t it called a deterrent? Hmm? And everyone now understands the dark nature of such deterrence.
S: Right.
M: How threatening that really is. There is a balance always between what one can explore, what one can move toward with freedom, and what one needs to hold back on. And your modern community, your modern world environment, is simply trying to take away all the values and have total freedom — at least for self! — and controls for everybody else! And that has caused imbalance that is truly global in its terms, and global in its effects.
S: Exactly. So, the same questions still exist: How does the world shift from what seems to be overly dark to more light, or will that ever change?
M: In order to move to more light, one needs more controls. One has to become self controlled. Self disciplined. And one often sees the word discipline as if it brings up the old image of being caned at the schoolroom. That was called discipline. Nobody wants discipline. Nobody wants self discipline. Nobody wants to be a disciple, because they are all part of the same.
So first of all, one must start with self. One has to learn self control, self discipline, and compassion arises when one has succeeded, because when one succeeds at discipline, one realizes how difficult a task it is. Then you will have compassion for those that cannot. And that begins a movement in consciousness. There is a waking up when more and more people demonstrate the sense of peace that arises with compassion. The first of all — because I have spoken many times about your Book of Instruction (bible) — first of all, the Master goes into the desert.
(Mercredan often refers to Jesus Christ as “Master”. Not that he was Master of the Universe but that he was the ultimate Master Teacher for Humanity. The three great teachers many channeled sources speak of are Jesus, Krishna and Buddha. These three were enlightened to the point where they never picked up a sword to settle a dispute or get what they wanted. Love is more powerful in the grander scheme of things.)
How to draw your own disciples
M: This is an important story, important because it demonstrates first of all, overcome temptation. Learn your own discipline before you begin to attract disciples. You understand? Then when you stand clear and at peace with yourself, then others, more disciples, begin to gather around.
S: Okay.
Finding your direction
M: And that is how consciousness evolves. Because in the end you will realize nothing is truly important in the physical world, because it does not move into the spiritual world, because there is what called “the ring passeth not.” You cannot get into the inner world of spirituality.
As the Master says, “Easier for the camel to pass through the eye of a needle.” That is such a great saying. But anyone who has lifted their vibrations, anyone who has shifted their perceptions and has spread their vision in many directions, will find it far easier to see the path. Because often the path is in the most unexpected direction. Does that all make sense?
S: It does make sense, and when I think about it, it seem like a huge task when I try to personalize how to have more discipline in my own life and come to terms with what I try to control about myself and other people. It seems to serious and onerous, and yet I remember you telling me to lighten up and have fun at it, and laugh, and I don’t know how to do both at the same time!
M: Of course. It is such a difficulty. And yet when you start to laugh, when you smile at your failings, you automatically lighten up. And the surprising thing, when it matters less, you gain more discipline.
Finding compassion for the worst of Humanity
S: What things in particular I ought to be trying to pay attention to? Things about my lifestyle? What I eat, drink, people I’m with? How do I get there?
M: One thing we could say is you live in an attempt to be separate from the world, as if the world is somehow an evil entity. Do you follow?
S: Oh, I sure do!
M: And while you do that, you surround yourself with a concept that is indeed prevalent in society. If one begins to realize these three things: you have been that way; you are that way; or you still have yet to be that way. Everyone, no matter who they are, you’ve been them, are them, or have yet to be.
S: That’s a horrible thought!
M: You understand what that means? It means one has to have compassion, for those that lead along the path must tread the unknown. The explorers into deepest Africa went where no man had been before. They had to create a trail. Those that followed widened the trail. And as time went on, the trail became a road. The path, then is guided by those who wander in the unknown looking for clues. That is so important then, to realize that you must always be on your alert for clues to the higher self. Not always looking for what is wrong, looking how to improve the failings, but looking for the guide that leads you forward — looking for your inner guidance.
S: Okay.
M: Do you understand how that will be? Because the more you discover it, the brighter it becomes. The brighter it becomes, the more it shines light on the path ahead, the more into the unknown you can see.
S: Is this kind of what we touched on last time at the end of our session when you asked me to look inside myself and sense where my power comes from?
M: Of course, because you are asking about energy. And your energy is your power. Not power over others, but power to manage life. To manage where you put your perception, where you look, and ultimately what you see. Look to see the best in everyone. Find it! Focus your attention on the best in them, and put aside their foibles. These are things that they might want to focus their attention on, but you simply refocus them. That has gone wrong, then, that is worth noticing and what, where will you find the solution? What is the next step in your evolution? What is coming next that will lift you so that in a year’s time you will look back, as so many people do on events in history, and laugh at themselves.
S: Right.
Reviewing what is learned during a lifetime
M: Because you are here for such a short time to gain your experience. It will take much longer, in most instances, for you to digest all of that experience, and to put it into understanding and evolutionary growth. That is why they say at the moment of death one’s life passes before the eyes. In reality, of course, it takes quite a bit longer, for the review, which is often called “the unfurling of the life just lived,” which is often assumed to be a round of three days of your life. In reality, of course, time is timeless in different frames of reference.
Understanding ISIL/ ISIS
S: Right. Interesting. I’m hung up on one part of what you said. When I look at others in the world to try to get compassion for what they’re doing, if I take the worst example I can think of for this day, the group ISIS that’s beheading people and burning people alive, I know you say don’t condone others’ behaviors, but how I get compassion and try to see the best…?
M: Would you like to swap places with them?
S: No!
M: Of course not, because you are beyond that level of fundamentalism.
They fear what is being brought to their world. It will destroy what they have been brought up with, what they know, and they will be forced into the unknown. And if you look at the past record, they will be treated with discourtesy and enslaved. If you were to be enslaved by a master race that comes from some other galaxy somewhere with more sophisticated weapons, are you going to fight or not?
S: I probably wouldn’t, but…
M: You will then be damaged on the side by those that do fight and see those that do not fight as traitors to the cause. And so you become in exactly the same position. And when you see it, you can see that that is no solution at all.
And while your world is so unbalanced, there will always be those fighting for freedom from slavery. And your slavery is not only imprisonment, but it is also the slavery of poverty and the slavery of being kept doing what one doesn’t want to do in order to survive. That is slavery.
(You understand on a personal level, he means you doing a job you hate in order to pay the bills. You working two jobs to feed your kids. You being limited by more and more rules and regulations your government puts in place “for your own protection”. Slavery comes in many forms.)
M: And while slavery exists, war will truly follow. So then one begins to see them with compassion — that these are freedom fighters, and they are fighting something that they truly think is evil.
S: I understand that. But it still doesn’t make it any easier to see the results of it.
M: Look, I think you have forgotten that in your culture, your military sit in offices in rooms just down the road from their families, and kill people remotely.
S: Yes. Absolutely.
M: What is the difference between that and causing fear and terror by violent and different forms of annihilation? One at a time, or multitudes at one stroke?
S: Yeah; none of it’s any good!
M: Of course not. And each one causes fear in the other and escalates, so it is only when humanity becomes sane and spirituality as it should be speaks its mind, consciousness then, is an evolutionary shift and that is what occurred. Fortunately, it occurred and as it does, more and more will begin to realize there is no solution in this method.
(Mercredan here is stating the tipping point of December 2012 has been successfully passed without us blowing up the world. There are now enough people in the world who focus on peace rather than war/hatred/fear. We made it!)
S: Right.
M: That is why it is important for those that wake up to hold compassion, even in the horror they witness.
S: Okay; just keep feeling the light.
(Don’t assume he means to give them a cuddle. Of course, we still need to prevent them from damaging those around them.
See earlier in the piece he mentions that those who choose – it’s always a choice – to stick to their fundamentalism will kill and be killed for those ideologies.)
M: Of course, and pointing out that it is the lack of understanding that causes fear — that the unknown is the only driving force for fear. People in your society work for fear that they cannot survive. If they could see into the unknown and discover what is the truth, then they would be far less fearful and much greater evolution would occur.
S: Yeah. I’m sure; it’s a frustrating place to be in.
Lighten up!
M: The question is your own self. I keep coming back to this. Lighten up yourself. Hold joy to the world. Hold that there are great spirits alive; there are great beings constantly arriving and holding that perspective. And everyone that supports that holds a great deal of importance in the overall unfolding.
S: Okay.
M: And I want you to look at this in terms of discipline, because you can pull yourself down and you can become disappointed, or you can realize that when something is upsetting, this needs lightened energy sent into that area. The more people that send loving kindness thoughts to the area of dispute, the faster it wakes up.
(This is the idea I started on the Facebook page, though I don’t frequent it too often. The News in the media is designed to have you fearful, hating, prejudiced, outraged. Have you figured that out yet? The facts are bent or conveniently left out to make others look simply evil. It’s a one eyed story.
Look at your own reactions to the News. Take responsibility for them. If you find yourself in a very negative reaction to it, put yourself in their shoes for a moment. Try to understand their story. Then, when you find even just an instant of compassion, finish the thought in your head and move on to a new topic. It’s a habit we all need to get into.
(Most of us are not soldiers nor hackers. We don’t have the physical nor technological means to prevent fundamentalists from harming others. We DO have the vibrations we broadcast out into the world from our very own powerful Beings though. Make that vibe a compassionate vibe rather than a fearing one and you will do marvels in the progress of bringing peace on Earth.)
S: Okay.
M: So surround yourself in high thoughts. Those thoughts that you will imagine produce light. Often people say, “Surround yourself with light.” All very well. But I say, “Surround yourself with thoughts that will create light, and send those thoughts to your enemies.” Because they are the ones who have to realize there are good people who want the best truly for them.
S: Okay. That’s great. That’s a lot.
M: Is our time up?
S: We have about ten more minutes, but this seems like a good time to stop.
M: I think you have plenty to think upon. I want to say this. Because often when you are typing our conversation, you have thoughts. Put your thoughts in. (Yep, I did. You can print this off and do it too.) Because they are the thoughts that other people also have. Then you show your humanity as well. And thank you for your time and your work for the enlightening of the planetary system. Thank you and good afternoon.
S: Thank you, Mercredan.
