I ask, "You mentioned the Tao. What is the Tao?"

Zohar answers, “Star Seeds must understand the Tao, a God-like concept that requires you to move out of your head, your intellect, and into your heart to comprehend. First, you must approach the Tao as an infant approaches life. It has no language skills and cannot create a narrative in their head. They have no words for things which prevents them from putting labels on things. They know mother, father, hunger, discomfort, and a few other things and yet it has no words to think “I am hunger” or “I like snuggling with Mommy.” It is this wordless approach to reality that one must assume to approach the Tao.

To mention the Tao, to even give it a name, is to misconstrue it. It is that which cannot be spoken of and yet, without the Tao there would be no Reality. All that is, requires the Tao. It is not unity, it is not multiplicity or duality, it is neither form nor substance, it is not even an “it” since an “it” is an object by definition the Tao is not an object. An object is defined as that which has persistence over time and exists in some form of space, if only mental space. The Tao does neither. It neither consumes space nor does it persist over time. To speak of the Tao is not the Tao. The Tao is ineffable. It cannot be communicated from one human being to another. Instead, it must be experienced firsthand.

One must experience the Tao in order to have even an inkling understanding of it. One must awaken to see the Tao. One must be an empty vessel, a new wine skin open and receptive to experience the Tao as new wine.

The Tao cannot be contemplated, because it is not an object of contemplation. Instead, one must allow it. One must be in a pure state of allowing and the Tao will become clear. If you need an object of contemplation to begin with, then contemplate the uncarved block. The block left uncarved is potentially anything under the hands of a sculptor. It exists as an object of pure potentiality. That contemplation, from the heartmind, will start you in the right direction.

I ask, “You speak of the great I AM. Is that what we call God?”

Zohar answers, “What you traditionally consider to be God is the collective of the great I AM, the great Spirit, and the divine spirits of the Masters who include Jesus, Buddha, Moses, Zoroaster, Krishna, and many others throughout history. They all had a spirit that was, as they were, and as we are, wholly human and wholly divine. They are a dual nature, as are all Star Seeds, the difference being that they gave a more perfect expression of their divine being.

“The collective of these is called the Godhead. How you want to break it down into differentiated pieces is largely arbitrary for in fact God is an undifferentiated whole, a great Oneness, something that is not a thought but is a mere I AM. But as I mentioned, the personification of some aspect of the Godhead is a useful exercise because you, in your human form, find it difficult to relate to that which does not technically exist and yet is real. You find it difficult to derive solace, comfort, and meaning from such an entity.

“So, you call it Father-Mother God, Christ, Brahma, or simply God. As you differentiate the different aspects of the Godhead (I AM, Prime Creator, Master Spirits) they differentiate in reality and have their being, but it is something that you are doing so that you can relate.

“Even so, the differentiation is real for you, and thus has a reality in consensus perception, the objective reality that you share and can largely agree upon. However, that reflects the human condition and says more about the nature of humanity than it says about God. That said, one must realize that the Godhead, though seemingly in multiplicity is still oneness in its purest form. The Hebrew scripture put it most succinctly though. God just IS.”

I ask, “Why do you want me to gather Star Seeds?”

Zohar answers, “Gathering Star Seeds is critical at this juncture of your history if you are to continue to survive, that is, evolve in Spirit and bring forth the coming age.

“Many Star Seeds are innocents. They do not know the Dark the way you know the Dark. They trust, they have faith, they have many admirable qualities that you do not possess because of your past association with the Dark. It is that past association that makes you able to protect and defend the innocents among you.

“It is now time for you to gather them to protect them from the Dark, which you know all too well, and to bring them together to multiply their light. You were nearly consumed by the Dark. Now you a perfect instrument for Light. Their individual roles will become clear to you as matters progress. The details are not for you to know at this time. For now, just gather.”

I ask, “Earlier I asked for a definition of the spirit, lower case ‘s.’ What is the definition of the Spirit, capital ‘S’?”

Zohar answers, “Spirit is wholly divine. It is the undifferentiated whole of all things as all things flow from it. It is the consciousness that does not need to be observed to be conscious, the unobserved observer. It is that mover that does not itself need to be moved, the unmoved mover. It is the creative imperative of reality.

“It is what creates the illusion of multiplicity. Itself it is not multiplicity though. It is unity. It is Real and yet it is not an it. Some say that this is the Prime Creator, Father Mother God, and it goes by other names as well. This is because Spirit has a form of consciousness, and most importantly, Spirit loves. That is why we so often choose to personify it, but we must be careful because personification, though a useful step to have an intimate, personal connection with the Prime Creator can also instill misconception and intellectual error.

“That is what occurs when you become dogmatic adhering to a primitive, fundamentalist worldview. These are mere clumsy metaphors for that which is beyond human comprehension, but not, oddly, beyond human apprehension. There is a difference, a gulf between these as large as the sea. Do not confuse Spirit with the final or ultimate I AM, for lack of a better word. Whereas Spirit is the motive and creative force or aspect of Reality the great I AM is the sustainer that makes the creation possible. Without Spirit, reality would be an undifferentiated whole. Without the great I AM there would be no reality at all. That is the OM, and is the real I AM.”

I ask, "Why am I sickly?"

This is a special post. I haven’t been posting recently because I have been in the hospital… twice. I am hospitalized on a regular basis. I have a collection of maladies that include kidney failure and a failed back surgery. So, I asked Zohar “Why am I sickly?” The answer may not resonate with other people. It may be strictly for me.

Zohar answers, “Do you really want to hear this? Think before you read or listen further. You are sick because it is necessary. You have brought it upon yourself. Due to your illnesses you now have a conviction that you will not live many years longer. Gone is your hope of living a long and productive life. Gone is the prospect that you will live to see your 100^th birthday. You have researched the science and statistics and now believe that you will live a mere 10 years from now. Is that correct?

“The truth is that you will live as long as you truly expect to live. You, yourself, establish your own longevity. You, yourself, are in control. The reason for the illnesses is to give you this sense of foreshortened lifespan which is what now motivates you to communicate as we are doing now.

“You require the motivation, the urgency to find meaning and purpose in your life to take action. For this reason, it is necessary, however, it is not inevitable. Keep this in mind as you go forward with your work. People have been healed from worse than what afflicts you now. It is possible, but you must believe. You must have faith. The work you do with me will give you that, and that is why you are sickly.”

I ask, "Where are you from?"

Zohar answers, “That is immaterial. We have spread out among the stars so completely that we ceased having a home planet many thousands of years ago. Like you, we evolve, and like you, we are not the same as we were when we first engaged with your species. It might be more productive if you ask “WHEN are you from,” or “HOW are you from?” We are extraterrestrial/extra-dimensional beings. We exist between worlds, and we exist on many worlds where we are conducting the same experiments we have done to your species on earth. Like you, in fits and starts, they are coming along and will soon leave their planets to begin exploration of the galaxy.

“There are other species like us who are also conducting experiments on your Star Seeds. Most of these we coordinate with so as not to disrupt one another’s goals. For the most part these goals are beneficent, but there are a few who do not have humankind’s best self in mind. Those are the Dark ones. Those are the ones we combat, and for the most part, we win, but there are still cases of their experimentation that we cannot reverse.

So… returning to your question as to “Where” we come from, we come from your own world and dimensions beyond your world, all coexistent with you but unseen by your limited perception. We coexist. We walk beside you. In a sense, we ARE you, a thousand years hence.”
