With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. Along
 with you, we have been observing the steady progress of the light as the Occupy
 movement spread in the United States and on to other countries, and the spirit
 of freedom that inspired "Arab spring" continues. Even people who do not know
 that these major developments are due to the higher frequencies along Earth's
 ascension pathway do realize that your world is significantly and rapidly
 changing.
 
 And soon the momentum is going to increase. There are "time pockets" in the
 celestial calendar that are especially advantageous for energy surges, and one
 such will be in a few days, 11/11/11. The surge, which for Earth will be a
 forward thrust in her journey, will affect people differently. Those who are
 unbalanced by being immersed in the low vibrations of negativity will experience
 upsetting physical and emotional jolting. Lightworkers, including the millions
 who don't identify themselves as such, will feel a sense of upliftment as they
 flow in the accelerated pace of the universe.
 
 Truths and reforms will be catapulting into your midst as there can be no more
 delays in the highest universal council's master plan to free your planet of
 millennia of dominance by darkness. That is why efforts to strengthen the
 European economy will not prevent the imminent collapse of the global economy,
 which has long been controlled by the Illuminati. It is why local, state,
 provincial and national governments will accede to the citizens' demands for
 betterment of their lives, and why wars and other violence will wind down.
 
 For a bit longer the Illuminati will continue countering all progress toward
 dramatic changes with such distractions and disruptions as their black ops
 terrorism, stock market shenanigans, bribing or threatening politicians, limited
 resumption of chemtrails in some areas, weather control, and of course
 fear-filled disinformation. Since the light continually is intensifying on the
 planet, it is logical to wonder why they are able to keep going. The answer is
 fear.
 
 The many people who are fearful about what is happening in the moment and what
 lies ahead unwittingly are aiding the Illuminati by emanating the fear energy
 that those dark ones need to sustain their very being. With the knowledge that
 the Golden Age on your near horizon already exists in the continuum, you can
 feel serene—well, serene and excited!—and the high vibrations of your feelings
 will radiate out into the world. Earth's perpetual balancing motion will enable
 your light to reach those who need it to overcome their fears.
 
 Lightworkers' steadfastness, the light from all who are awakening, and our
 universal family's services are fast weakening the Illuminati's last remnants of
 power. In the coming year, their formidable forces that have prevented US
 President Obama from fully acting on his light-filled mission will be torn away
 and truths revealed about the extent of the power bloc that has derailed or
 distorted his reform efforts. It will become known as well that behind the
 scenes he has been cooperating with the evolved souls from other civilizations,
 and you will see his effectiveness in working with other leaders to bring about
 stability and harmonious relations among all nations.
 
 The triumphant result of Earth's free will choice to enter fourth density very
 shortly before or after the end of 2012 has been assured from the beginning of
 her ascent out of deep third density 70-some years ago. In her love for each
 and every soul, she would like all to accompany her, but this is a matter of
 every person's free will choice. Our awareness of individual and collective
 consciousness of Earth's residents lets us know that most of them don't
 understand free will. This topic has long been a matter of philosophical and
 theological discussions, but without knowing the origin and the purpose of free
 will, there cannot be any understanding of it.
 
 This lack of knowledge has given rise to questions and comments sent to my
 mother. I asked her to locate some and insert them at this point in our
 message.
 
 How can a merciful God let so many of His children suffer horribly? Why does God
 give precedence to the free will of the dark ones over the free will of light
 beings? Why does God let terrible things happen to good people who don't
 deserve it? God is all-powerful and he could get rid of all the darkness, so why
 doesn't he? Free will doesn't exist—life is predestined by the karma we accrue.
 If God really is a loving God, why won't He let efforts to bring peace in the
 world succeed? Maybe what the Bible says about a vengeful God is right, but not
 everyone is disobeying His laws so why do billions have to pay for what a few
 are doing? And: The litany of horror continues unabated. Every day we hear news
 of yet another outrage—manipulation of people's minds, mass theft, invasions,
 imprisonment, deliberate starvation, rape, child molestation, slavery, torture,
 even attempted genocide. And still a thunderous silence from 'supreme HQ'. Why?
 
 Clarity about free will and karma is vitally important, not only because many
 souls are searching for answers to those kinds of questions, but because
 understanding the cosmic principles that govern life in this universe is the key
 to ascending with Earth or bypassing this unprecedented opportunity.
 
 We shall tell you about free will, the right to choose, and its inseparable
 component of manifestation, the ability to make whatever can be imagined; how
 darkness came into what was intended to be the ultimate gift to all souls; and
 karma, unlimited opportunities for souls to attain the balanced experiencing
 needed to evolve spiritually and intellectually.
 
 It all began with Creator's first expression of Itself—the "Big Bang"—that
 created the Christed realm and the archangels. Out of Creator's infinite love
 for Its first souls, at some point It bestowed upon them free will and its
 inherent ability to co-create—they could use the energy of Creator's love-light
 essence to manifest whatever they could think of. In the beginning, this worked
 in perfect purity. The archangels thought to make the next realm of angelic
 beings, and using Creator's energy, they produced souls who, like themselves,
 were of only love-light energy and awareness.
 
 After unknown ages, the archangels made gods and goddesses, some of whom were
 pure energy like their co-creators and others had form potential. The potential
 enabled the manifestation of materials with substance, or density, that let
 souls produce whatever forms they could imagine, and they co-created the
 universes that comprise the cosmos. Creator selected the gods and goddesses to
 rule over the universes, and one of the gods, whom many of you call God, became
 the ruler of this universe.
 
 Throughout those aeons of co-creating, all manifestations whether of energy
 only—the archangels, angels and some gods and goddesses—or in form, other gods
 and goddesses and the universes—were of Creator's pure love-light essence. And
 because all souls' Beginnings are and eternally shall be in Creator, It wanted
 all souls throughout the cosmos to have the same privilege as the first ones,
 and It so decreed that the selected gods and goddesses have the right and
 responsibility to establish laws governing their respective universes, but they
 are bound to honour Its cosmic laws that include free will.
 
 Somewhere along the line, after creating materials for both humans and animals
 were available, free will got out of hand—you know that as the story of Lucifer
 and his band of fallen angels. They started combining the two kinds of materials
 to produce intelligent half-human, half-animal creatures such as the centaurs,
 satyrs, mermaids and mermen and others mentioned in your mythology. Some were
 designed to do work that humans could not do or didn't want to, such as swiftly
 carrying messages or working underwater, and others were made simply to be
 ferocious, like dragons on land or in the seas. Since there was then no DNA
 programming for ageing, those intelligent creatures could live in misery for
 thousands of your calendar years.
 
 The more Lucifer and his followers delighted in making those kinds of life
 forms, the farther they fell from the light. When some realized that they were
 misusing their gift of free will, they returned to manifesting in the light. 
 Others kept producing the creatures of their deprived ideas, creating denser and
 denser energy as their light kept dimming until only the spark of connection to
 Creator that was their life force remained. The negativity created by their
 thoughts and deeds and the agony of all the creatures they made formed the
 massive powerful force field called the "dark forces."
 
 It is from that source that souls anywhere in this universe who have proclivity
 toward greed, ruthlessness and lust for power become puppets of that abject
 darkness. In recent times this scientific principle of interaction that is from
 Creator has become known as the law of attraction, or "like attracts" like. The
 energy of souls' dark thoughts and desires attracts the same kind of energy in
 that vast field of negativity and brings it into the souls' lives, their worlds
 and their worlds' collective consciousness. That is what happened to Earth.
 After being populated, the planet that once was known throughout this universe
 as a paradise and one of God's favoured creations became engulfed in the
 negativity brought by those civilizations.
 
 Only Creator can amend Its laws, and in the case of free will, It has done so
 twice. In antiquity, the densest, or darkest, souls used their free will not
 only to capture weaker souls, but also to usurp those weaker souls' free will. 
 That created such an imbalance between the light and the darkness throughout the
 cosmos that to regain the balance essential to keep the motion of all bodies
 relatively steady, Creator decreed that the darkest souls must restore to the
 captive souls their free will. And so they did, but those souls that were so
 long deprived of exercising free will were easily manipulated by the darkness
 until they started accepting the light constantly offered.
 
 Creator's second exception is that never again can nuclear weaponry be used in
 space because of the devastating damage this has done to souls—not bodies, but
 souls—and if such is attempted, the ruler of that universe is empowered to
 prevent it. That is why, by God's authorization, our space family near Earth has
 prevented the dozen or so Illuminati attempts at nuclear terrorism since
 September 11, 2001.
 
 In all other instances when free is used to intentionally cause havoc,
 devastation, death and suffering, the rulers of the universes are not permitted
 to interfere. So, while it may seem that God is allowing the free will of dark
 ones to prevail over the free will of lighted souls, never is that so! He would
 like life on Earth to be in love and peace, but He cannot stop those who are
 intent upon working against that kind of world. And because every soul in this
 universe is a part of Him and He loves all of his soul-parts unconditionally, He
 doesn't side with one over another.
 
 Mother, please locate parts of your talks where God explains this and insert
 them here.
 
 "In one stage of my Totality, I was purely light and love. Then parts of my
 creations descended into the darkness Matthew refers to, but they were
 nonetheless inseparable parts of my whole. And thus they remain." ….
 
 "As for `progress' on Earth, I weep with each soul who is suffering in any way
 and I rejoice with each soul who is feeling joy. I am the soul of all of the
 `worst' and all of the `best,' so I cannot be inseparable from the `best' and
 not be inseparable from the `worst.' Am I happy about what I see happening on
 Earth? For those who are happy, yes, I am too. For those who are worrying that
 their tyrannical power is diminishing, I feel that, too." ….
 
 "You are worried that I'm taking sides, or better said, can't take sides. Then
 who better to set you straight, my child? I am as much the gentleness and
 searching and on the lighted pathway as you wish to be, yet there is the part of
 me that equally is, and cannot deny, that soul whose interests and actions and
 motives are what you call evil. I am not separate from that soul, and whatever
 that soul does and all of its effects, however `ungodly,' as you think, become
 within my composite and are an inseparable part of me. So, to say that I could
 `take sides' of myself is just plain unscientific, isn't it?" ….
 
 "Would I like to see the TOTAL of Earth life in peacefulness, love, sharing,
 caring and service one to another? OF COURSE I WOULD! But do I have the power
 to snap a finger and have this be so? You know I do NOT! So I send my love and
 light everywhere, to every soul, and I may as well rejoice in the pockets of
 light rather than dwell in the pockets of darkness and weep, you see."
 
 [The excerpts are from "Talks with God" in Illuminations for a New Era.]
 
 Thank you, Mother.
 
 The ultimate goal of every soul is reintegration with God and Creator, and the
 return to our Beginnings requires balance. In Creator's infinite love for all
 souls, It devised a means whereby they could regain balance after becoming
 imbalanced by their free will choices. This means is known as karma. It is a
 mispreception that karma is punishment for being "bad" or a reward for being
 "good." Karma is the scientific principle of cause and effect whereby balance
 can be attained or regained. A preponderance of negativity creates drastic
 imbalance, and whether in one soul or the cosmos, the energy of light is what
 restores balance.
 
 As a part of God, each of you affects the balance of the Oneness of All. And
 this brings us to multiple lifetimes and the cumulative soul—or "parent soul,"
 you could say—that is the composite experiencing of all its physical lifetimes,
 or the personage lives that you call reincarnation. Each personage is and always
 shall be its independent, eternal, inviolate soul-self as well as being an
 inseparable part of the cumulative soul, wherein each personage's lifetime free
 will choices affect all the other personages. If their collective experiencing
 causes the cumulative soul to get out of balance, karma is the opportunity for
 "future" personages to fill gaps or strengthen weaknesses so the cumulative soul
 and all of its personages can achieve balance and move forward in evolvement.
 
 During the long ages when Earth's planetary body and her successive populations
 were embedded in negativity, duality and divisiveness reigned and almost all
 personages incurred serious karmic lessons. For instance, a person who gained
 wealth and position at others' expense refused to help ones who were
 impoverished; to balance that lifetime, the cumulative soul's next personage
 chose to experience severe deprivations. The same principle applies to a
 bellicose, conquering mind-set. But deep third density, where darkness
 flourishes, is a hard taskmaster, and a cumulative soul could have hundreds or
 more personage lifetimes learning to overcome the magnified energies of greed,
 lust for power and cruel nature.
 
 Now let us put free will, manifesting and karma into this unique time in the
 universe when souls may accomplish in only one lifetime what otherwise could
 take many, many more. Billions of souls wanted to take advantage of this
 unprecedented opportunity to complete third density karma so they could
 spiritually and intellectually evolve into fourth density, and they chose in
 their soul contracts to experience great hardships that would balance other
 lifetimes. A few individuals, comparatively speaking, could provide the
 circumstances that would allow those masses of souls to experience their
 choices.
 
 We have recounted before that when that mass karma had been completed, those
 individuals reneged on their agreement to join the light, so we aren't going to
 repeat the details. However, because it is uplifting to know, we do say again
 that the many millions who endured more than they had chosen petitioned at soul
 level to leave prior to completing their contracts, and their petitions were
 granted. Those souls are credited with contract completion, and along with
 beaming light to the planet from Nirvana, they are evolving spiritually.
 
 Free will applies equally to circumstances far less profound than those souls
 chose. In your pre-birth agreement, which is made with souls' unconditional love
 for one another and is designed to benefit all who want to share your lifetime,
 you chose your parents for genetic inheritance—health issues, intelligence,
 talents and other innate abilities—their ancestors, your siblings, degree of
 nurturing, culture, geographic location, financial means, education. You chose
 your life partner or partners, children, primary mentors, friends, antagonists
 and close working colleagues. The matching-up of these many souls who are the
 most important influences in your life is possible in the continuum, where all
 lifetimes are happening concurrently.
 
 To accomplish what you and all the other principle participants in the agreement
 chose, some play harsh or hurtful roles to balance their experiencing at the
 same time they're offering you and others in the agreement the opportunity to
 experience what you and they need to attain balance. Persons who seem
 unreasonably stern, stubborn, mean-spirited or unfair may be fulfilling their
 roles to the letter.
 
 Regardless of the role each participant agrees to play, the soul's messages to
 the consciousness—conscience, instinct, intuition, inspirations,
 aspirations—always are aligned with the individual's soul contract that is his
 or her part of the agreement provisions. Ignoring those messages lets the
 person detour in minor or considerable ways from the agreed upon role. No one
 knows what is in his own contract or in anyone else's, but you can adhere to
 your "unknown" choices by acting and reacting according to the messages'
 guidance.
 
 With that understanding, rather than feeling resentful, bitter, judgemental or
 angry—emotions that emit the low vibrations that cause imbalance—you can feel
 patience, gratitude and forgiveness. Not only will those qualities impart light
 that helps you stay in balance or regain it, but their high vibrations will
 reach those persons and may soften their behaviour and attitudes—doing so may be
 exactly what you all had chosen in the agreement. To use your expression, that
 is a "win-win" situation.
 
 Now we shall address a different sort of question about free will and then
 queries about other issues. Absolutely there is free will in Nirvana! Creator's
 law pertains to every soul regardless of its location in the cosmos or whether
 in a physical civilization or a spirit world. Nirvana residents have the
 advantage of their cumulative soul's knowledge, and since balanced experiencing
 is the aim of all personages, free will choices in their soul contracts are
 based on that knowledge.
 
 Is the darkness still in control after we die? Darkness never is in control
 unless a person invites it! Experimenting with dark ideas such as satanic
 practices, giving into the temptations of greed and dishonesty, striving for
 ever-greater power and obtaining it through tyranny are wide open invitations to
 the darkness. This is vastly different from a soul agreeing to play a harsh or
 hurtful role in a pre-birth agreement.
 
 No, ascending with Earth doesn't require knowing what civilization you are from
 or how evolved your soul is.
 
 Yes, a soul contract may be amended for a longer physical lifetime than
 originally chosen. A soul would request additional time only if it saw an
 enhanced opportunity to evolve spiritually; and since all requests are made at
 soul level and are granted or denied at that level, persons cannot know if they
 are living longer than originally chosen.
 
 Will beloved pets be able to go with people who make it to the Golden Age? 
 Animals have soul contracts too, and some have lifetime duration clauses that
 will end prior to Earth's entry into fourth density. But overall, the purity of
 spirit in all Earth's animals is their ticket to go along. More obvious changes
 are happening in their nature than in humans, many of whom are still bogged down
 in duality. There are increasing instances of cross-species friendship, and even
 animals you consider predator and prey are starting to meet peaceably when
 extreme hunger isn't in the picture. At one time all animals lived peaceably
 together and with people, and they will so again during Earth's Golden Age.
 
 First density life forms cannot be seen in third density worlds, but unless they
 are primitive life in the depths of Earth's seas, you can see second density
 forms. Often these are minute flying insects that are extremely short-lived, but
 during that time they serve a purpose in the food chain. For souls in the basest
 level of Nirvana who accepted the light continuously beamed—and it is only a
 pinpoint because those souls have an intense fear of light—a tiny short-lived
 insect may be the emergence out of a first density form. Evolving through those
 lower densities can take many thousands of years in linear time and nearly
 countless life forms, and in second density, often evolvement is through the
 insect world where the higher orders have quite an amazing span of instinctive
 capabilities.
 
 There won't be three days of darkness on the planet before Earth's Golden Age
 begins. That three-day period is associated with the theory that the planet
 will enter the photon belt, and your planet isn't going to be anywhere near that
 belt.
 
 When will model communities be ready? Because so much has to take place in the
 months prior to the end of 2012, including economic recovery after the collapse
 so funding will be available, it's likely that no large communities will be
 ready until the Golden Age is under-way. Many individuals and groups around the
 world have been inspired to establish spiritually-based communities. Those that
 are planned to be self-sustaining will include everything necessary for ideal
 living, from education to health care and farming to cultural resources.
 
 Without addressing the specific issues being questioned, we state that no
 dire-sounding prognostications or predictions will come to fruition; only ideas,
 plans and activities that are energetically aligned with the prevailing light
 intensity can reach manifestation.
 
 If we knew exactly when the crews who are roving in your skies are going to
 land, it would be our great joy to tell you. However, since we cannot in this
 moment do that, what we can say with assurance is that it won't be much longer—a
 great deal must be accomplished during the next year and their on-site
 assistance is part of it. Our family members overhead and those in your midst
 are in constant contact and all are diligently serving to help you bring to an
 end the long era of Illuminati control.
 
 Your steadfastness in the light is bringing ever closer that day of meetings and
 greetings with your brothers and sisters. Then you will see for yourselves how
 greatly you are loved and honoured by them—and all other light beings in this
 universe—and the swiftness with which Earth will be restored to her Eden self. 
 The months ahead will be more joyously dynamic than you can imagine!
