Message From Ambros – Lack of Health

May 19th, 2012

So much is happening in the world today, and it’s affecting everyone in a different way. I know many people who are finding themselves challenged with health issues; I asked Ambros to please speak about this.

We have seen both the benefits and the challenges of living within the confines of a human body. One of the challenges is that this physical body can become ill and unhealthy. The causes of this are many and varied, and each of you experiencing illness or lack of health must look for yourself as to the reason. More importantly, to us, is how you choose to allow this illness or lack of health to form the way in which you live in the world.

Have you become the illness? Have you become enshrined in your lack of health? Is everything you say and every action you take an expression of the illness or lack of health? This accomplishes nothing and only serves to sustain the illness and lack of health.

We would say there is another way to be with the illness or lack of health, and that is to fully embrace all that is occurring in your body. Let it simply become a part of you, not the whole of you. Look within to see what your illness or lack of health is attempting to awaken you to. Find the lesson in the illness or lack of health. You have not received this challenge as punishment in any way. The challenge you are facing is an opportunity to understand more deeply your connection to your physical body and you may choose the lesson you take from this.

How will this illness or lack of health shift your expression of You in the world? How will this challenge bring you closer to the new conscious heart within? Will you become the illness or lack of health, or will you allow yourself to become more than you were as a result of this challenge?

Message From Ambros – A Conscious Heart

April 9th, 2012

It’s impossible not to visit any of the social media sites without reading divisive, often cruel, statements about someone or something that a person may not agree with. I don’t know when it became acceptable to denigrate that which is different from what you believe or to use demeaning language about someone who holds an opposing view. It distresses me, and I asked Ambros to please comment on this trend.

We have seen the pleasure many humans take in being unkind to others. We have seen that if there is one who holds a view that is not the same, then it has become acceptable to ridicule, to laugh at, to make fun, and to denigrate through word and action. When it is done by your young people, we have seen you label this as “bullying” and you decry it. Yet when it is done by adults, you allow it. You applaud it. You laugh at it. You excuse it. This is not a true expression of a conscious heart. Is it any wonder your children engage in this act of bullying? They see it expressed by those who are meant to teach them the appropriate way to act in the world.

We would say that humans must learn to express themselves in the world from a conscious heart. This requires that you cease speaking cruelly of others with whom you do not agree; that you refuse to accept language that is hurtful to another, regardless of how you feel about that person; that you refrain from deliberate inciting to anger and violence; that you speak out against those who would express themselves in such a way; and that you open your minds and hearts and truly interact with one another from a conscious heart.

We do not say you must always agree with all others, yet we do say that if you choose to embrace the new conscious heart energy, you must embrace all ideas and views, as well as the humans who hold those ideas and views, as having equal value to you and your ideas and views.

A Shifting Path

January 29th, 2012

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about life in my six decades here on earth, one thing about life that is unwavering and solid and dependable, it is that life is never unwavering and solid and dependable. It is always changing, always shifting, always offering new opportunities to open up to the unexpected and see where the once unseen path may lead.

There is a new path opening up before me, and it’s leading me away from San Francisco. I’ve known for some time that I’d be leaving this City by the Bay; I’ve known for quite awhile that it’s time to take my work elsewhere. I just didn’t know when I’d be shown the door, or where the path outside that door would lead me. It’s now been shown to me and it’s leading me back to Southern California.

I’ll be leaving San Francisco the end of March and moving to the Los Angeles area, where I believe there is greater potential to continue my work on a wider basis, with new focus and intent.

I will, of course, continue to work with my clients to navigate through the shifts and changes of their own lives with Tarot, Reiki, Focusing, and Channeling. My new passion, as part of my focus on physical health which has been intensified by the recent life-threatening illnesses sustained by two of my brothers, is Protandim, and I sense that this supplement will be more readily received in Southern California.

Protandim achieves the goal, long sought after by world class medical researchers, of being a Nrf2 activator. Nrf2 is the protein messenger contained in every cell of the body that sends information to the cell’s DNA telling the cells of the body to up-regulate protective genes while simultaneously down-regulating metabolic processes that are harmful to health. Four patents and nine peer-reviewed studies back up the science; Protandim is indeed a game-changer.

I’ll still be available to see clients here in the Bay Area through the end of March, so if you’d like to see me in person, please make an appointment soon. I’ll be seeing clients at Crystal Way every Wednesday and Friday, and by appointment at my Ocean Beach location on all other days. After April 1, we can connect by phone, skype, or email for sessions.

And, if you’d like that Tarot, Reiki, or Channeling class you’ve been putting off, don’t wait to schedule it!

I hope to see you before I head off on my next new adventure!

Message From Ambrose: Lessons

January 29th, 2012

(Question: “I’ve noticed that with karmic experiences it’s not until I’ve had the experience that I understand the lesson. Why is it that we don’t have tools until we’ve had the experience so I can prepare for the lesson and more easily learn it?”)

We would first say that the experiences you are having are not necessarily what you call “karmic” for the way in which you use that term reflects a punishment for actions and deeds, either in this lifetime or previous lifetimes. The experiences you are having are not a punishment for actions, but simply lessons that you need to learn.

We would say that you already have all the tools needed to move through these lessons more rapidly than you do. It is only your belief that you must experience the lesson before you are presented with the tools that creates that outcome. One of the ways in which the conscious heart will begin to shift that belief is through the raising of your vibration; the limitation of thought will become less and you will notice that you have all of the tools you need to address the lessons. We would say that you will, should you choose, reach a vibrational level that will allow you to address the lesson before the human experience brings it to you in a way that makes the experience of that lesson more difficult.

It is through the inward quest that you will experience the lesson and the acknowledgement of the tools to resolve that lesson more immediately. And yet we have found that so many of you await the external experience before choosing to understand and resolve the lesson. The journey to the conscious heart is an internal journey, and through this internal journey you will find the tools that exist that you have not seen in the past, for your internal journey to this point has been rather limited. You have not allowed your internal journey to take you to the depths of what is possible as humans. You may begin that journey to resolution of lessons to be learned prior to the external experience if you so desire, it is your choice.

“Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.” ~ Anaïs Nin

Message From Ambros: Fulfilling Your Needs

January 29th, 2012

(Question: “I have people needing me here and people needing me elsewhere. I love them both but I can’t be in two places at the same time. I feel torn in two. How can I answer my divided heart? How do I choose who to help? How do I know which place to be to fulfill my destiny, my purpose, to fulfill the needs of those I love?”)

We ask that you notice that you are attempting to divide your heart to please others, and we would say that is not your responsibility. It is not your responsibility to fulfill another’s need. It is your responsibility to fulfill only your need. We would ask, “What is your need?” This is the only need that you must fill.

It is not your purpose to fulfill the needs of another. It is not your destiny, it is not your purpose, it is not the plan for you. You may hold love and compassion in your heart, and yet this does not mean that you must express it in fulfilling the needs of others. Through your expression of the new heart consciousness in the world, you may find that you are influencing others and in this way others may come to you and say, “I choose to live as you do, tell me what to do.” It is not for you to tell them what to do, just as we will not tell you what to do, but instead to assist them in finding that place of their own truth that they may find their own path.

We understand that this will require that you shift your belief that it is your duty, your responsibility, to fulfill the needs of those who say, “we need you.” It is for each being to fulfill their own need. When you attempt to fulfill the need for those who say, “We need you to fulfill that which we need,” we ask you to please see where you are interfering in the ability for those people to find the place within them that will support their own need. We would also say that it may very well be those beings will not be able to find that place within them, to find that strength. Please understand it is not for you to save them.

We would say that there is a difference between fulfilling the needs of those who choose not to fulfill their own needs and caring for those, such as your young ones and your elderly, who are in need of assistance. Offering assistance to those who require it, offering love and compassion and caring to those who are in need of solace, is not the same as fulfilling the needs of those who seek to have others do that which they choose not to do for themselves.

You must understand that as you begin to seek to fulfill your own need, you will find that you must express to those who would ask you to fulfill their needs that you are not able to do that for them. You will find that you may, perhaps, find it necessary to say, “No, I am not able to come to you, nor am I able to come to the other. I must find that place within me that is uncovering what I need. I am not able to fulfill that which you need and that which the other needs, and still have the ability to find what I need.” You may find that you are having to express this, and we understand that there is that place within you that desires not to hear this.

We do understand that this is a challenge for many, to release that place within that feels the need to take care of and be responsible for others. Please know that our hearts are full of love and compassion for you as you experience this particular change in your consciousness.

“In the last analysis, the individual person is responsible for living his own life and for ‘finding himself.’ If he persists in shifting his responsibility to somebody else, he fails to find out the meaning of his own existence.” – Thomas Merton, Trappist monk, poet

Message From Ambros: Relationship and the Conscious Heart

November 21st, 2011

(Question: “I’m having a conflict between being on a spiritual journey and something external manifesting around a relationship that has the potential to take me off my journey. I’m wondering if it’s possible to reconcile those two things, being on an inward spiritual journey but also on an outward journey to meet somebody else. I’m afraid of losing myself.”)

We would say that there is no difference between your inner journey and your outer journey, for one is reliant upon the other. Your spiritual journey takes place within and yet that is only half of your journey, for it is imperative that you take what you learn within and express it in the outer world. What you then learn in the outer world you take back within to lead you on a deeper journey to the conscious heart. So we would ask you to please recognize that your inner journey and your outer journey are the same journey.

This journey, your spiritual journey, does not create an obstacle to relationship. We would say, however, that if there is a relationship you feel would pull you away from your journey within and without, that perhaps it is not the right relationship for you. If you are on a journey to your conscious heart and the expression of that conscious heart in the world, right relationship will encourage and support and journey with you. While the one with whom you are in relationship may have a different experience of a conscious heart in the world, you will find that right relationship will be a parallel journey to yours. You will encourage and support each other on this journey within and the expression of it externally. Right relationship will not create a loss of yourself or your spiritual journey, so if there is indeed a relationship that creates within you a fear that you will lose your journey to your conscious heart within and the expression of it outside of you, then you must look more closely at this relationship to understand why you allow it into your life. What is it that you need to learn from this relationship that you fear will pull you away from your spiritual journey? Why do you allow yourself to invite in relationship that does not support your journey to the conscious heart but instead creates an obstacle to it?

We would ask you to look at whether your desire to be in relationship with another is greater than your desire to be in relationship with the conscious heart to the extent that you are willing to forgo your journey to the conscious heart to be in relationship with another. We would say for all relationships, whether they be those of family, of friends, or of intimacy, as well as relationship with self, that if there is existing in your life a relationship that does not support the journey to the conscious heart within and the expression of it in the world for both you and the one with whom you are in relationship, it is an opportunity to reflect upon that relationship and to understand why you choose to continue that relationship. There is perhaps a lesson in this, and this is where your journey to the conscious heart and your resolution of lessons can work hand in hand to express your conscious heart in the world.

Message From Ambros: The Right Career

November 21st, 2011

(Question: “What might be good guidance to lead me towards a career that would support my higher life purpose?”)

We would say that the career you choose is not relevant. It does not matter the form that the expression of your gift in the world takes. It does not matter if that form shifts and changes periodically as you move forward in your life. What is important is that whatever you choose to do as a way of expressing your conscious heart in the world, it must be a reflection of that conscious heart in any given moment. Rather than attempting to determine what is the correct form, we would say instead to reflect upon what brings you joy, what it is you find pleasure in doing. What is it that in the doing creates a feeling of openness, of laughter, of pleasure, of meaning? This is your purpose.

We would say, and we would say this to all beings, please do not place the burden upon yourselves of believing that there is one purpose and one purpose only for you and that you must at all costs determine what that purpose is. For you will find that your journey to discover that one purpose will create limitation, will create fear and doubt as to whether what you are doing fulfills that purpose. Let instead your purpose and your path be to simply live each moment of your life from the conscious heart.

We would say to do that which brings you joy in the moment, and as you proceed to express that, you may find that it will shift shape and form and energy with each step you take until you notice that that which you are doing has no reflection on that which you started doing. This is as it should be. All will shift and change from moment to moment. For as you continue to journey deeper into the conscious heart and vibrate at a higher energy, that which you did moments before at a lower energy will no longer follow you into the higher energy. You must expand your beliefs, you must expand your awareness beyond that which you have known.

We would say to all to please begin shifting your awareness of what is and what has been, for it is changing rapidly, and if you are to move into the conscious heart you must begin to change as well. And so we would say again to do that which brings you pleasure and at the same time provides for you in the practical world in which you live. And when it no longer fulfills that sense of pleasure and practicality then reflect upon what is the next thing, the next expression that will bring you joy. It is less about what you do, it is about how you live in each moment. We cannot state too strongly that it is this new belief that will lead you forward into the higher vibration and into the new conscious heart. We understand that it is difficult for many and yet we would say you would not be on this journey if you were not able to move forward with this.

Message From Ambros: Passing The Torch

August 27th, 2011

“The history of the human race shows us that fear and anger of those who vibrate at a lower vibration often is expressed in the world through violence and the elimination of those people in the higher space of vibration, for example Ghandi, John Lennon, and MLK. Can you offer any guidance on how to continue our shift to a higher vibration within the energy of this lower vibration?”

We would ask that you begin to shift your perception of the effects of the passing of individuals of higher vibration. You have mentioned several beings and we would ask you to reflect upon what those beings and others such as they created in the world. They did not stand alone. They did not move in the world alone. They did not create an energy shift, they did not embrace that shift, alone. And when they left the physical body, that which they had begun did not end. It was able to continue without them.

You speak of the being called Ghandi. When that human left his physical body the energy shift that he was a part of did not end. Was not the country of which he was a part forever changed? You speak of the one called Martin. He did not stand alone. He did not march alone. He did not create a shift in beliefs and perceptions and ideas alone. And when he left his physical body there were many who continued that journey that he had started. The music of the one you call John did not die when he left his physical body. Many were left behind, many who exist even today on this planet, who continue through their music to shift the vibration to move forward.

And so while it will always be a part of the human condition that those who are not able to vibrate at the level that will take them to greater joy and abundance and connection with source and will instead attempt to destroy that which is greater than they are, they will never be able to do so. For the light is greater than that which is not. The higher vibration is greater than that which is not. And while there may indeed be instances where those that you perceive as leaders leave their physical bodies through the actions of another, there will be many left behind who will continue their work. And we would ask that you focus your attention and your energy not on the ones who have been taken but the many who remain, the many who continue the work that was started, to continue the shift into the higher vibration. For this is the true journey towards the conscious heart.

There is a way in which the torch is passed from the one to the many and from those many to even greater numbers. And it has been so throughout the history of this planet. Do not reflect on what has been taken. Reflect on the gift that they left, that you may use that gift, that energy, that knowing, that healing, to continue that which they have started. Reflect perhaps on the awareness that you, dear one, may be the next leader, that you may carry on where they have left off, that you may be one who will lead the multitudes into that higher vibration. Reflect not on what has been lost, but on what remains.

“Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it onto future generations.” ~ George Bernard Shaw

Message From Ambros: Being An Outcast

August 24th, 2011

“Can you speak to us of being an outcast in this world that we’re living in, following one’s own kind of rules and morality versus the kind of morality of the collective society.”

We would say that those beings who place limitations on other beings, who require that all beings accept a belief system that is equal to their own, do not live from a conscious heart. These are beings who do not reflect the one heart, the higher consciousness and are not representative of that which you call the collective. We would say that if you must assign the word collective to a group of beings, to assign that word to those beings who live from the conscious heart, who allow all beings to express their conscious heart in the world regardless of how it looks or how it reflects the other.

If you are living your conscious heart in the world this is all that source requires, and source, that true one, sees this as being a reflection of the conscious heart. If there is one who lives with a different belief than you, and yet embraces your belief as well as their own, and you as well embrace their belief as well your own, for those beliefs allow all beliefs to express themselves in the world, then you and that other are the reflection of the conscious heart. Those who live from an unconscious heart who would place limitation upon any other and who would demand that they live and believe as they, do not live from a conscious heart.

We would say to offer those beings compassion for we and those such as we, those from all the realms that are not of this one, the one heart, the one source, hold a great compassion for them, for to live from an unconscious heart, to live from a place of such limitation, creates great pain and great sorrow even if those beings are not able to understand that. So we would say to hold compassion in your conscious heart for them, for when that time you call 2012 arrives, when this earth and all beings who live from the conscious heart merge as one into the higher consciousness and find themselves living from a place of great abundance in this earth, you will see that those who have continued to live from an unconscious heart will not be a part of the joy and the light and the abundance and will rather find themselves continuing to exist on this earth from a place of limitation.

And then you will see truly what the word outcast means, for it will mean those who are cast out from living from a conscious heart and from finding the joy and the pleasure of the abundance that accompanies the new energy that you will be living in. And we will say that when you fully embrace the new conscious heart and you have moved into the shift that not just your earth but your galaxy experiences, you will find sorrow in your heart for those who are not able to live in the joy you are experiencing for they have been cast out. So we would say to offer them compassion for know that you truly live from a conscious and those such as you live from a conscious heart and you are embraced.

“Each time I see the Upside-Down Man
Standing in the water,
I look at him and start to laugh,
Although I shouldn’t oughtter.
For maybe in another world
Another time
Another town,
Maybe HE is right side up
And I am upside down”
— Shel Silverstein

Message From Ambros: Learn to Earn

June 30th, 2011

In several of the past group sessions, Ambros has discussed the need for each person to be accountable and responsible for his/her own life, and how important it is that we don’t get caught up in taking care of others. This concept has raised questions for many about how to reconcile what he is saying with our human desire to help our fellow man/woman in need. I asked Ambros to please clarify what he means.

We have seen the depths of compassion that the people of this planet hold in their hearts for others, and the ways in which this compassion is expressed when there is a crisis in the world. We would say it is important for now and even as this planet shifts into the new and higher vibration that this desire to offer assistance to those in need continue to be expressed in the world.

We would also say that it is important to care for those too young and too aged and too ill who cannot care for themselves, until they can become responsible for their own lives or until they evolve into pure joy.

We would ask that you understand the difference between being of assistance to those in need and taking care of those who choose not to take care of themselves. There are many in your society who have the means to be self-sufficient but instead choose to allow others to provide for them. We see how there are many in your world who desire to have what others have but choose not to achieve their desire for themselves. We have seen where there is a belief by many in your world that all must have what the other has, and if they do not have it must be given to them. We would say this is not so.

To take from one to give to another may be in opposition to the lessons needing to be learned. Each of the beings on this planet has lessons to learn and will be provided with opportunities to learn these lessons. It may be that a person’s lesson leads that one on a path of having less in order to understand the need to become responsible for oneself and accountable for one’s actions.

If each person is provided with everything they desire through the giving of that thing by another, there will be no lesson of responsibility and accountability learned. There will be only dependency. We would say, rather than give to the one who is lacking, it is in alignment with the increasing energy vibration to assist the one who desires more to find the way in which to obtain it through conscious means for oneself. One must learn to earn what one receives, rather than simply taking it from another.
