A Session with Suzanne Giesemann and Sanaya at Unity Church, Summerfield, Florida, on February 5th, 2012
(Note that "This one" refers to Suzanne. All notes in parentheses are Suzanne's, made after the session)
Sanaya: Good evening. We wish to welcome you once again to this circle of love. There has been much talk of late of this word,which you know of as "love," and much confusion surrounding the meaning of this word which all of you take very much for granted, do you not? "Love." You bandy it about like a very ordinary word, but it is the most extraordinary word, for it represents the most extraordinary energy.
One clarification we wish to make for you: All of this talk of love is not of the human love. It is of that which you would understand as "spiritual love." There is quite a difference. Your human love is a fleeting thing, very much dependent on interrelationships, on how you treat one another, is it not?
Do you not fall into love, and oft times just as easily fall out of love? One so-called wrong word, one wrong step from one whom you supposedly love, and the love evaporates. Quite a scary thing, is it not? And when you are embroiled in human love, do you not walk about with a bit of fear? For you know that that love could be snatched away from you in an instant by one wrong step you might make, by the other catching the eye of a stranger and perhaps walking away. Do you feel the fear that accompanies human love? For all in the human realm is ephemeral, is fleeting, is temporary.
That is the way your life is designed. You learn from the changes. But spiritual love is ever-lasting, steady, strong, never fleeting, always there, reliable, steadfast, like your greatest friend. But friends, of course, in the human world can disappear. They come and go. This love of which we speak is you-you as spirit. There, within you. This you have heard us speak of time and time again. You come back to hear us speak of love, to feel that love present in this room. Can you feel it now slowly descending upon you, filling the room and your very physical body with warmth?
It is merely the raising of your very own vibration to match your true self. You are experiencing your spirit body, which vibrates much faster than the physical body. The physical body is dense and every changing, constantly changing. You as spirit are eternal. Love is your very essence. You come here to remember who you are. It is why you are here: to remember, "Ah yes, I am a spirit-being! I am not this fleeting human who walks about in fear! I am everlasting love."
And when you express yourself as that which you are, do you not then find peace? You as a human being can take spiritual love and translate it into the human experience by radiating nothing but love. The more you come to know yourself as love and the more you express it from moment to moment, the more you become your true self, and your whole life changes. You begin to truly know that you are eternal, and the fear disappears.
Is that not what all are seeking? When you can live from that place of knowing who you are, when you can act and react from that place of true spiritual love … then it matters not how one you love as a human acts or thinks in return. That one that you love as a human being can say spiteful things to you, can turn and walk away, can cut off their human love for you, and you still love them! And there is no fear! You are able to release them like the bird that is no longer caged, for your love is no longer fleeting, and human, and subject to variables. Your love is coming from the most pure part of you: spirit.
Then you know who you are. Then you know why you are here. Then you have truly learned your lessons. And life as a human will continue to throw these lessons in your very human face. Watch your reactions. How are you reacting to this constant bombardment of vibrations less than spiritual love? Do you respond with fear? Recognize this. Once you have that knowingness, it is always there. You may forget from moment to moment, for you are still human. Even the one known as Jesus displayed human characteristics and emotions on a rare basis.
It matters not that you have gained this knowingness as a spirit-being. As long as you are in human form, you will be tested. That is why you are here. This is one great test. One school of learning. Peace is the litmus paper. When faced with bombardment, with anger, with lack of human love from another, how do you respond? And when you respond, do you feel peace? If not, then a bit of the human side is still showing. And this is quite all right. Do not berate yourselves for being human! This is why you are here.
We in the spirit world understand this. We look upon you with such love, such admiration for this journey you have taken on. We know the trials you face. We feel your pain. But we do not interfere, for these are your lessons to learn, and you are given emotions to gauge how are you learning.
Once you truly experience spiritual love and can love all others as yourself, then you have taken a giant step for mankind. Mmmm. For when one human being learns the lesson-the truths of the spirit-that you are a spirit being, eternal, with love at the core, then that one vibrates at a higher vibration. How could they not, for love is at the fore. And that person goes forth responding to anger, to affronts, to lack of love with naught but peace, and this affects those around them.
Will you be that font of peace? That font of love? Or will you merely add to the lower vibrations around you? There is truly no right or wrong answer in a school where all continue growing eternally, but there are choices which will bring you more peace. This is why we constantly return to this lesson, this topic of love. But we have found it necessary to define spiritual love versus human love, for there has been a bit of confusion of late.
You will have noticed-those of you who read our writings each morning-that in the past few days we have been speaking quite a bit about relationships. There are those mystics, those gurus who retreat into a cave and spend their lifetimes alone in meditation. Not alone, of course. They are communing with Spirit. What a beautiful thing! But those are the very old souls who have been around a bit, with not so much to learn anymore, emanating their vibrations which pass through the cave walls. All of you are beneficiaries of this.
But you would not benefit from living in a cave. No, you, instead, must face your relatives (laughter). And your loved ones. Who is it that brings you the most strife? Who is it that brings you the most challenges? Who is it that causes you to have to make difficult choices day after day after day? Perhaps at times you wish you could run into a cave.
Yes, (this is) a conversation this one was having earlie. We wish to share it with all of you: You may choose your friends. You may choose your lover. And you do so on the basis of resonance, do you not? But your relatives oft times cause a bit of dissonance. You chose them before you came here. We do hope you understand that. (You chose them) for the dissonance you would experience. For are you not faced with choices when in the presence of one with whom you experience great dissonance? Even those loved ones who you chose deliberately in this lifetime to be your lover, your partner can change to such a point that you no longer resonate, but you experience dissonance.
It is at this time that you are given the greatest opportunity to practice radiating spiritual love. Do you see the wisdom in relationships? And these are the difficult choices that you face. "Now, do I stay with this one, or do I go and seek resonance once again?"
You must face your relatives on your holidays, at your very uncomfortable family reunions. Hm. Hm. Quite humorous are some of these experiences, are they not? When you can step away and look back, your situation comedies do parody these family meals quite often for good reason: for the dissonance causes drama, and you all do enjoy a bit of drama, do you not? (Laughter)
When caught in the midst of drama, step back as if watching this situation comedy. Watch it from afar, and you can react much more easily from a place of peace once you have stepped away from the drama and see it all as a play being acted out in front of you. When you are in the midst of it, it is quite difficult to make rational decisions, to respond rationally, for your human heart becomes embroiled. And it becomes almost a competition.
And do you see how fear plays into this? "Oh, my goodness, they no longer love me!" Or, "If I say what I truly think, they may turn away." It is quite difficult for the human to respond with spiritual love at that point, for the fear pulls you down. Step away from the relationship in your consciousness. Remember who you are and why you are here, and then from that place of peace decide, "Is it best that I stay in this relationship, or have I learned all that I can from this? Is it time to move on?"
Some people stay in relationships for quite a long time amidst much dissonance, out of cultural requirements, a sense of moral obligation, and what your society dictates is correct. There is honor in many of these decisions. We are not going to tell you what is right or wrong. You have your own emotional guidance system within you. Do not be burdened by societal laws, rather spiritual laws. "Love thy brother as thyself."
A good place to start. If that love is not returned, should you stay or should you go? Once again, you are here to learn to make these choices yourself, and some of them, we do understand, are most difficult. But do you not grow from these most difficult decisions?
All goes back to love. Spiritual love. Being who you truly are. Surrounding all situations with love. If that means a parting of the ways, surround that situation with peace. If that means remaining in a situation that is difficult, but you do it out of a sense of service to one and in your heart you know that this is why you are here, your heart will tell you, "This is the right decision."
Only you will know. But all will become perfectly clear to you when you pass through that veil to our dimension. And you can finally see the big picture as we see it now. You can learn to step above and see the situations from that position now. In the meantime, you are not alone. Ask for guidance!
This one does see animals and hear strange words (a conversation held before the session about significant images and words given to Suzanne in meditation earlier that day). She is not the only one that can do this, you know. It is training of the mind. Have you trained your mind sufficiently to hear the guidance we are sending to you at all times? Have you trained your mind?
If you walk about wondering, "Oh, God, what should I do? I do not know what to do in this situation! I feel so very helpless!" Then, children, you have not trained your mind. You do not understand that you are intimately connected with the Source of all guidance, all wisdom. You are it!
You are not a separate spirit being. It is all interconnected! Do you see the interconnection of the women in the group of which this one is a member? All of them receiving guidance, and the guidance passing to one another at the same time! All interconnected. You are connected with the very Highest Source.
So, wander about not wondering, "What should I do?" Ask the question of your Source! We point "up" at this moment, but go within, for your Source is your very center. When in turmoil, you are off balance. You are focused on all but the Center. What is the meaning of this word, to get "centered"? To find that place of peace where all guidance is available to you at all times.
Your life is in turmoil? Sit down. Take a deep breath. Radiate love … spiritual love … with no fear. In so doing, you raise your personal vibration. Center yourself with the breath. Focus on the breathing coming in and going out. Deliberately make a connection with your Consciousness … with your spirit … with the Great Spirit:
"Oh God, I know that you flow through me at all times, animating me, or I would not even breathe. Knowing this, oh Great Spirit, flow through me now, more evident than I have ever felt you before. I, of myself, know nothing. I, in recognition of myself as part of All That Is, do now understand that all the answers I seek can come through me by your grace. Enlighten me now. Fill me with your wisdom. You know my troubles. You know every hair on my head. Guide me, please. I thank you for this. I know not the answer to my challenge, but I know that you do. The answer that I seek may not be in my best interest. I recognize that as the human in me looking for a very human outcome. I surrender to Your wisdom, for You give me life. And now, I surrender to Your wisdom. Tell me, please: What would you like me to do?"
Do you see the peace in this surrender? There is no struggle. There is merely recognition of who you are, why you are here, and how very connected you are with your very Source.
Would but all human beings turn to their Source-and it is the very same Source, no matter how or who you worship-would but all human beings go within to the center, reconnecting with their spirit-selves and surrender to the guidance that is just waiting to be allowed to flow through, oh, such wise decisions you would make.
Practice the art of asking, of centering yourselves, asking for guidance, and giving up all expectations of the answer that YOU want. Know that the guidance that comes through you will be the best for the greater good. For, knowing that you are all inter-connected, the greater good should always be the goal. You are all One. Your spirits flow one into the other.
Open your eyes. More and more and more you will see the interconnection with awe. And the more you see this, the more you will remember to return to the center and to let your very Source guide your every step.
Such peace awaits you when you come from that place of spiritual love and trust, trusting always in that Source that gives you life this very moment. Breathe it in now … (pause) a conscious decision made by you to pull the breath in, but how many times do you actually make the conscious decision to breathe? It is done for you. That is grace. You are blessed.
We love you all so very much. We do not enjoy seeing the suffering, but this is how you learn. You need not suffer. We come to give you these tools, and we ask that you share them and practice them so that others find more peace as well. We wish nothing more for you than to find peace and to rediscover your true self.
We bid you goodnight.
