Ruth Rydens Newsletter

Good Morning!  It has been a weird May, that's for sure!  Here in Arizona, a mini-monsoon has been gifting us with good moisture and the forest is in good shape coming up on the normally-dry June.  Anxious to see what the Masters have to say about that.  Husband Jim has put in a large garden and is keeping the lawn and property looking really nice – pretty good for his 81 years!  Our large family are well, just trying to keep some kind of income coming in.  This small town has problems just like the larger towns; no one hiring and jobs in construction pretty scarce.  My iris gardens are beginning to bloom; love iris!  Hope you are all doing well in these hard times.  Our knowledge of how to use our spiritual beings to obtain our needs is pretty essential now.  Sometimes it's hard to remember how powerful our thoughts are.  Best to all of you, my dear readers!

OK Masters, how does our country and the world look regarding weather and earth changes this month?

 

MASTERS:    It is a foregone conclusion that the coming month will not be the old-fashioned summer month of years ago.  May brought an entirely new set of weather surprises and problems to the entire world.  The moisture occurring over the Southwest came from a series of Fronts, as you call them, occurring in patterns that touched each other and precluded a kind of vortex in the atmosphere that drew upon moisture from the southern seas.  June will see a dramatic change from this situation as the vortex disintegrates and the fairly normal dry season will come into play.  The Midwest will be experiencing a number of different frontal attitudes as these Weather Fronts dip up and down constantly, providing air currents that will bring about a series of tornado-like storms and heavy rains at times.  We are seeing flooding in the states further south.  The eastern states and coastlines are already setting themselves up for the hurricane season, and rightly so.  Temperatures will soar in the East, to unprecedented highs, with high winds at times helping to keep the humidity down a bit. The tornadoes that we are observing from this point, should be a lot fewer than expected and not as powerful.  It is still a time to keep weather forecasts available at all times if you live in Tornado Alley.

Now, the hurricane season will give forecasters fits, as air currents, sea currents and atmospheric anomalies that are already occurring will cause the production of hurricanes to start, then stop for a time, then start again with a vengeance.  This, of course, will support the atmospheric situations in the African Continent which will provide world wide attention this month.  The terrible droughts that have rendered crops impossible in most of those states there will be changing to very frequent or, constant, rainfall.  This will provide a problem in some cases, as the hard packed sands will not absorb the water too easily and the run off in many places will cause flooding.  So, hurricane conditions flowing from that continent over the Atlantic to the U.S. and Canada will depend upon these unsettled conditions on the western coast of Africa.  Watch this carefully.

 

Europe will find June to be closer to the old norm than most other places on the globe.  High temperatures will surprise many, however, as the atmospheric density above the Earth has been tearing apart in some places, letting through a lot of energy from the Sun flares that are increasing at this time.  When it does rain, it will be in the form of heavy thunderstorms that will cause havoc on the airlines and air travel.  Be very careful to watch the forecasts before flying anywhere in Europe.  Wind shears that are causing many of these crashes will be increasing and are very dangerous.    The northern countries will also see higher temperatures this month, causing glaciers and ice walls to melt and collapse sooner than expected.  The High Steppes of Russia are undergoing terrific changes in the permafrost regions.  Oil production will be very hampered because of this.  We see a great deal of flooding in Russia and some real hardships as transportation is hampered when valleys and flat plains are inundated.

 

Australia is undergoing many life-changing shifts in temperatures and atmospheric pressure.  The Outback continues to be extremely dry and even more so this month.  Traditional water holes that the Aborigines have depended upon for generations are drying up and even desert grasses are becoming scarce. The biggest shift on this continent will be the shifting of the aboriginal people to the coasts where there is even a chance of earning a living or of existing at all.  This is an ancient race of extremely spiritual abilities that should be honored and taken care of.   Coastal cities will find sea levels rising and temperatures that will be colder than usual for this season.

 

The plates in the Pacific continue to shift and grind.  See in your mind's eye a world shaped like a hen's egg that is just forming into an oval in the hen.  It is round in the beginning, but changes as it matures.  The world is maturing much in the same way.  In the coming century, the world will be become shaped much like an oval; very slightly, of course, or the orbit would be lost, but even so this will make the seasons to change drastically.  You have already seen the evidence of this.  Not to worry.  As with the laws of universal creation, everything changes at the same time to conform with the situations.  Earthquakes will continue to wreck havoc on the South Sea island natives, and we see another small island sinking into that rising sea.  Hawaii will experience much stronger quakes this month and through the summer, as a response to these shifts which reverberate around the world.  The West Coastline of North America will continue to experience moderate quakes as the response to the movement of these plates. 

 

Go with the flow, as has been said many times.  If you have lost your homes because of flooding, fire, mudflows, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc., etc., keep your inner selves intact by accepting what is and start over..  At this time in human development, the time of grief and loss is a personality builder that cannot be brought about any other way.  All of you have the inner knowledge and ability to be open to new circumstances and challenges, and you should know by now that you have all the help you need within as you connect with All That Is.  Happy June!

       (Readers, the Masters have sent the following teaching at my request for solutions in our time.)

MASTERS:    This is a time of great anxiety for all inhabitants of Planet Earth, with great indecisions and worry about the future of humankind.  Over the past decades, the need to understand the nature of human beings and the reason for their existence upon Earth has resulted in the need for religion and spiritual pursuits of all kinds in order to find a reasonable explanation for all things.  It is the very nature of a human being to seek  protection and guidance from a source higher than themselves, thus the reliance upon the humanization of nature and even other humans as someone or something to worship.  However, this reliance upon statues, idols, religious practices, etc. has clouded the actual resurgence of the absolute reliability of the inner soul of each individual.  It is good that people band together to acknowledge the spiritual part of life, but too many religious groups spend most of their time with church committees, events, and social gatherings, instead of seeking the inner presence and Love that resides in their deepest beings.. 

It is time to realize that humanity will never advance beyond its present barriers of misunderstanding until there is the realization that each human is a physical being integrated with an eternal soul who has chosen to live through a lifetime on this planet, this dimension, at this time, for good reason.   The lessons being learned now through violence, starvation, and indiscriminant sexual attitudes are extremely hard ones, and many souls are returning to the spiritual realm with a sense of utter relief to be done with it!  It need not be this way.  

It is worth the time and effort to find your own sense of being who you are and why you are here  in order to  compliment your inner soul energy and work on your present purpose.   That means simply that you are part of all creation; the energies that created and continue to create the universe and the worlds around you are of the same energy that you yourselves are made of.  That also means that there is also constant creation going on in your bodies and minds that continue to work eternally in the universe.  Many people feel they have hit a brick wall and there is nothing more in life for them.  The brick wall is the negative attitude built up from many failures and difficult situations which results in a defiant fist against the world and everyone in it.  It is hard to punch through that wall, but the answer is not to punch, but to melt it down by admitting that everything that has happened to you, or by you, is part of a long spiritual educational system that is only a small speck of time in your eternal soul life.  Accept what is and what was, but now determine what you want to be and in what frame of mind you can see the world as an open book ready to be opened! 

 

The word 'spirituality'  has many meanings for people as they seek to find some peace and love in their lives.  The commercialism of so-called spiritual teachings has become a good source of income for numbers of entrepreneurs, many of whom are trying very hard to bring some light of knowledge to as many as they can.  On the other hand, there are cult leaders who are seeking only their own ego-feeding at the expense of lonely and down-hearted seekers.  The millions of books on spiritual topics have gems of knowledge to be found, it is true.  Retrieve the gems, then put the books on the shelf and make time to start asking questions of your own inner self.   What are we talking about?  

 

Every human being is made of three parts:  The soul, which is usually referred to a the Higher Self, the subconscious mind, which is the repository of all knowledge and experiences of the soul, constantly soaking up every word, every event in your life; and the physical mind fueled by the brain.   There is the physical lobe of memory in the brain that keeps the person working at a mental norm, storing the events and knowledge during the lifetime.  There is also the connection to the infinite knowledge and energy of the universe that is accessed through the Higher Self.  When the person makes time to be quiet and go into a state of meditation, this is how that connection is made.  The knowledge and wisdom found in the infinite halls of the spiritual realm are far beyond the physical experiences and can be a fountain of peace and renewal that the soul, on the spiritual level, feels all the time.   Every human being can experience this connection if the realization that it exists is accepted. 

How then, to overcome the deadening effects of the pain and discouragement that weighs so heavily on so many?  It is a hard thing to put aside thoughts and fears that dominate the thinking and feeling, but it can be done.  Even for a few moments, lift the thoughts up into the sky, seeing the clouds and birds, whatever is clean and pure that seems out of your reach.  Do this often, until that feeling of peace begins to become even a small part of your everyday feelings.  Use that peace to store away the bad memories, the hurt, the abandonment, the evil of the world, into a closet in your mind and lock the door.  These memories will always be with you, but how you treat them is what is important.  A little at a time, let your mind go blank – seeing a white light, or a blank movie screen in your mind.  Just let it be for awhile, with no thoughts, just being.  Then bring back your thoughts and let them be clearer so you can define what you need or want to do.  In this way, you are giving your Higher Self the time to help you see things more clearly, for all of your experiences in many prior lives give you the knowledge you can use now. 

 

The world will change for the better as human beings acknowledge the reality of the creation of life that goes on all the time, understanding they themselves create what they experience, for better or worse.  It is time to honor each other, physically and mentally, no matter what the situation.  Every human being is a creation from the Ultimate Creator of all things, and every creation is perfect in His sight.  No human is better than another; no color of skin determines worth;  all species of humanity, of the animal or mineral world, of the skies and the seas, are created to be a balance on your world.  The imbalance that humankind has created continues to turn the land, the sea, even the atmosphere, into a mess of misunderstanding and global distress.  What does it take to turn this around and bring back the fabled Eden to humanity?  Each one of you seeking to find your own inner knowledge and communion with All That Is.  That's all.

                               ****************************************

 

   Here is an article from the Masters relating to how we can make our lives a bit better;

 

                           MASTERING THE MIND;  CONTROLLING THE EMOTIONS
Humanity is in the throes of physical evolution, which is making the nervous system extremely sensitive.  In turn, emotions are affected in ways that are unfamiliar and distressing to most of you.  Tempers flare up very easily, paranoia creeps into the mind, resentments, jealousy and anger take over where once they were only petty annoyances.  Even when there is the knowledge of the why, emotional upsets are not easily contained or set aside.

 

The anger and uncontrolled violence you are seeing all around is, to a great extent, the lack of ability to control these inner feelings that explode without warning.  Those who have been hurt, restrained, are out of work, filled with resentment at society in general, fall easy prey to anger and revenge.  Children on drugs that control high energies release all inhibitions for violence and you see children killing children for imagined slights or derogatory remarks.  Most of these instances you, as individuals, can have no control over; there must simply be an awareness of these emotions in others in order to get out of the way of possible harm.  When you are able to recognize inner feelings and emotions boiling up that are inappropriate to your real mental awareness, it can be frightening, but not if you know how to handle the emotion itself as a separate entity..  What follows are techniques that will enable you to capture and tame unwanted out-of-control emotions, putting them into a proper perspective:

 

When ANGER flares, see it in your mind as a fierce fire, burning out of control.  Draw upon your inner strength to envision a huge fire hose directing tons of water upon that fire until it is extinguished.  At that point, you will realize the anger is gone, and a sense of peace has filled that space instead.

 

When RESENTMENT starts to fill the heart and the chest feels heavy with real or imagined hurts or unresolved arguments or rejections, lift your eyes to the sky.  Whether or not you can see the Sun, daytime or nighttime, accept the tremendous power of energy coming from that star.  Visualize yourselves out in space approaching this life force and feel its cleansing energy filling every inch of your bodies with a cleansing fire that feels cold, instead of hot.  Feel your heart being filled with a substance of sparkling water, fizzling and cleaning out all the folds and openings.  Then relax and feel the refreshment of the body and soul.  There is now peace and acceptance of the reality of different characteristics in each human being creating clashes that sometimes cannot be avoided, but can be recognized as such and dealt with appropriately and with wisdom.

 

JEALOUSY hits hard as the uncertainty of life in its present form creates a desperate need to belong to someone and have someone belong to you.  The very thought of that personal attention being directed at someone else can bring the mind and emotions to such a heated mixture of anger and fear of abandonment that all clear thought is erased.  It is well to keep in mind that love attracts love, desperation creates an uncomfortable situation all around, and chains create a need to escape.  Even knowing all this, jealousy is a powerful emotion to overcome.  First of all, the anger that builds up behind this emotion must find an outlet. Instead of hitting the mate or throwing furniture about, get outside and run or walk until almost exhausted,  then you will be ready to think clearly again.  Sit down with a pen and a pad of paper, making two headings at the top of the page.  1.  Reasons why he/she stays with me.  2.  Reasons why he/she would want to find someone else to be with.  Under these headings would be reasons of a deep love, a bonding, similar interests, religious connections and rules, children, etc., on the plus side.  Explore the possibilities of your inability to show your own love, your neglect of the needs and feelings of the mate, lack of providing for the marriage or relationship physically or mentally, etc.  A relationship is a complicated way of blending the characteristics of two different people into a comfortable companionship and workable partnership..  It takes two in harmony, not one trying to master the other.  If you can do this and begin to see reasons for a mate to be looking elsewhere, the real technique is to change the situation.  In the meantime, create in your mind a large, square box of clear crystal and put it somewhere in your dwelling place where you are aware of it constantly.  Into this box project your feelings of jealousy – you will see them as an ugly green mist.  As you see it fill up, project into the box the feelings of love that have been pushed down too long.  They will act as modifiers and turn the green mist into a clear, white cloud.  This will help you keep your mind and heart balanced until the situation can be clarified and remedied.

 

Remember that you are not alone in your difficulty and that sitting down and asking for divine guidance and inner peace is always the best way of solving the raging within.  Hold Hands with God. 

 

ENVY is a deep-seated emotion that springs from early childhood in many people.  Your society is based on possessing “things” to excess, and children who cannot have those things often develop the envy pattern that lasts most of their lives.  The only way to drown out this emotion is to constantly be grateful for what you do have.  When envy of things, unhappy circumstances, even tortured relationships, make that hard knot in your chest, look around and say Thank You for something, anything, you do have in your life.  Envy can cause emotional blindness to every good thing that has ever happened to you.  Every morning, give thanks to God for your life, for the beauty of this world, for your bed, for your food, for your coffee, ANYTHING, but give thanks!  Things do not make life worthwhile; Love does!  Instead of envying someone something they have, give thanks that they are able to have what they want or need with Love!  Envy cannot dwell where love exists. 

The emotions that bind up the lives of those with what is called an INFERIORITY COMPLEX demean an individual's personality in the worst way.  The constant fear of being rejected, passed over or snubbed becomes part of life itself.  Most times this starts in childhood for many reasons, and simply seldom abates through the teens into adulthood.  Such a person cannot force him/herself to reach out to others or to train for jobs or careers they are well suited to pursue, simply because they are afraid of not being able to do anything well enough.  In groups, they will be found in the back rows, trying not to be seen or heard, but yearning to be a part of the whole.  The word shy is often pinned onto these people as an excuse, but natural shyness has nothing to do with this malady.  If such a person is pulled to the front and asked to speak or do something, they are quite unable to do anything at all, for their mouth dries up and their bodies feel paralyzed.  Children who are forced to perform in school this way often creep further inside themselves, but, to be fair, this prodding sometimes manages to break through their reticence to find talents the child never realized he/she had.

 

Parents  please realize the damage that is done to a small child by never listening to the child's efforts at communicating their feelings; the message they get is that what they have to say is not important and of no value.  Training and teaching is essential, of course, but constant criticism of every small action and effort is life-damaging to the child.  Be constructive with criticism and give ample praise when something is well done; the balance between these two attitudes is crucial!  The same applies to teen-agers, especially when this age group is trying so hard to be on a level with their peers.  Strange hair styles (and colors), sloppy or skimpy clothing is all a part of this very strong need to be accepted.  Parents, bite your tongue and remember the strange things you did and wore yourselves at that age!  Consideration for others should be insisted upon when the rock music or rap gets too loud, of course, but know that the inner need for harmony will kick in some day.  Praise for the considerate things they do, for their good taste when it appears, for their talents and good habits goes a long way to develop a teen's self-esteem, which is needed to pave the way for a successful life, in all ways.

 

What can be done if one is going through life FEELING INCOMPETENT, INADEQUATE OR UNABLE to try anything new or make decisions without leaning on others to tell them what to do?  First of all, realize your own worth as a human being.  The Creator gave us all the ability to think and to feel through countless lifetimes, learning as we went.  Every human being now on your planet has in their memory banks thousands of experiences, abilities and developed talents that are just waiting in the wings to be called upon.  If there is really doubt that one can do anything, find a college or institution where your talents can be tested.  What a surprise you will have!  Follow up on these abilities with some kind of training and they will suddenly bloom!  Secondly, you are just as important as any other person in the world.  Every day lift your head up when you walk about and make yourself smile at someone who looks as down as you feel.  You will make their day and realize you are here to be part of the human family.  Next, reach out of yourself to do something new, even if it is only to walk or drive to a different place near to your home.  Give yourself the gift of exploration, of a little excitement of newness.  Instead of waiting for someone to come to you and make your life better, you be the person to make someone else's life better!  Be more perceptive of the feelings of others and realize no one else lives on the top of the world anymore than you do.  Do what you can to listen, to understand, and to love.  In doing so, the cage in which you have lived will dissolve and life will be what it should be for you.  Love conquers everything, even your deepest feelings of inferiority.
