Message from Matthew

Through Suzanne Ward

                                              October 22, 2008

         This is Matthew, with loving greetings from all souls at this station. Although the economy globally and the presidential election in the United States are of greater interest worldwide, I begin by addressing an issue that has aroused feelings that include disappointment, disillusionment and anger among those who expected to see a large lightship Oct. 14 and “I knew it was a hoax” from other quarters. The announcement was not a hoax, and we honor the radiant soul who received the message about the ship’s appearance and courageously disseminated it.
         The crew and passengers who intended to be evident in your skies on that day were much more disappointed than you — they have long been in a state of eagerness and readiness. You awaited their scheduled appearance for only a few weeks; they have awaited for several years the abatement of belligerence and violence on the planet so safety could be assured to all who would hail the unveiling of their presence. However, they feel no anger toward the ones in government who pooh-pooh their very existence and at the same time are developing weaponry to annihilate the spacecrafts. Nor do the ship’s occupants feel disillusioned because some who were longing to see the ship now regard its occupants as promise-breakers or too weak to deal with all potentials in the air and on the ground or exceedingly foolish for having announced the date when they would show themselves.
         It is so that lighted sources of telepathic information refrain from giving specific times for any event because of the many variables that can and often do alter a situation — only if you had the benefit of our vantage point could you understand as we can the effects of constant energetic fluctuations. If you were given precise dates, your hopes and optimism would rise, and if those times could not be met for a cogent reason, it is natural that you could feel They let us down. But it also is true that you are weary of hearing “soon” and want concrete evidence that it is not a fantasy that your space brotherhood are helping you end third density’s violence and corruption. Absolutely they are, but since their help isn’t in a form you can see, like an electrician replacing bad wiring, doubts about any extraterrestrial help were setting in along with fear that the planet’s many precarious situations are beyond salvaging. Those kinds of feelings add more negativity to disperse, so it was agreed by all involved in the appearance plan that in this rare exception to generalities insofar as a time-line, the date when the ship would uncloak itself would be given. Regarding the opinions that announcing that date was foolish because it gave the dark ones time to prepare something sinister, I shall tell you that for quite some time they have been well prepared in every minute, or so they think, to prevent the world from knowing the truth that our space family is ever-present.
         I believe it is called “Monday morning quarterbacking” when criticism is leveled at the players because their game plan went splendidly until the last moments, when it went awry — but why it did can be explained only after the fact. In this case, the appearance of a large ship for a period of days to show everyone “We come in peace, not conquest” was the game plan, and it went awry shortly before the uncloaking was scheduled, when ground intelligence notified the ship commander that the safety net on the planet appeared to have been compromised. The conclusion was that a delay with all its repercussions was far better than risking the possibility of jeopardy to those who would joyously rally to see undeniable proof, They ARE here! Your space brotherhood understood that their decision would incur strong reactions, even their loss of credibility with some souls, but safety for all on the planet was and will continue to be the decisive factor determining their activities. While the dark ones’ efforts to destroy the ship would be futile — large ships have more powerful protective mechanisms than small reconnaissance craft — the attempts could have injurious fallout for the populace. If you are among those who publicized the event to family and friends who now are laughing, don’t be dismayed — very likely they will join in the rejoicing when the ship does appear.
         Please do not think there was only negative response to the delay! Mother, please copy the email I asked you to save because it is a lovely example of the grace with which many people reacted.

“Boy, judging by the reaction of some folks to the no-show, I wouldn’t come either if I was an ET. Actually, judging from my own reaction to the entire event, and listening to my inner guides, I’d have to say that the event, such as it was, was actually a success, as it got a whole bunch of people thinking about what WOULD happen if they DID show up. It’s sort of like a dry run to get everybody thinking and juiced up. Otherwise they probably WOULD have BLOWN people’s MINDS (literally!). What’s a few more weeks or months after all these years anyway. They’ll show up at the right time.”

         Thank you, Mother. Many others also accepted the non-appearance with equanimity, patience and no loss of conviction that the ship will come, and this is most gratifying to lighted souls in body or spirit everywhere. Let me correct myself — “come” is not the right word because it signifies that the ship has left your vicinity, and it has not. It is so close to you that a few especially attuned souls sense its presence “under wraps,” which can be removed in an instant — their cloaking/uncloaking technology is quite astonishing. That said, I shall stick out my neck and add that you will see this ship “soon”!
         This is a good time to mention something I have been thinking about. Readers who are familiar with my messages and the books know that I don’t ever use the term “First Contact,” and since it is in popular usage, you may have wondered why I don’t. It’s because it implies that there has been no contact between Earth humankind and other civilizations, and the truth is, only when no life at all existed on the planet have souls from other civilizations not been there. When the planet was populated in ancient times, the peoples recognized those in their midst who were from other worlds, just as all who were knew their origins and heritage. In more recent times, most of Earth’s peoples had lost the awareness that always some souls from higher civilizations were in the planetary population, and today only a comparative few know that a number of highly evolved souls have come from outer space to live and work alongside you.
         For eons spaceships have traveled to your homeland planet, and for well over 60 years, thousands have been nearby, including mother ships whose occupants have been assisting Earth — without their help, her planetary body would have died and none of you would be there today. Although not reported in US media, elsewhere reported sightings of small craft have become almost ho-hum; and those kinds of crafts have long been landing in isolated areas where safety is certain, most often in the Far East and Latin America. Frequently the crews mingle with the residents, who intuitively know they are from distant homelands and welcome them. However, the visitors who met with your government leaders 50 or so years ago were not received in the peaceful spirit in which they came. Those who weren’t killed were soundly rebuffed when they offered to share their technology in exchange for those heads of state halting all warfare and destroying instead of increasing their arsenals.
         There are civilizations living within the hollow Earth and occasional meetings of one or more of them and surface folks — Admiral Byrd’s diary describes his group’s friendly reception and the beauty of the people and their environment. And telepathic communication between some souls on Earth and those in other civilizations has been going on “close to forever.”
         So I don’t know how the term “First Contact” was coined, and I must confess that I don’t know exactly what it means to those who use it. However, I surmise that it refers to the day when greetings with handshakes and hugs can occur around the world and the long “cover-up” ends with thunderous shouts of Hooray! And that will indeed be momentous contact — it will be the first in most Earth humans’ conscious memory.

         Now then, the economy. None of the measures being taken to shore up the stability of banks and other financial institutions will work as intended, which is to keep control of the titanic wealth in the hands of the powerful few. That is the good news. The bad news is well known: More jobs and businesses and homes are being lost even as the ones responsible for those losses are being “rescued” to continue their malicious manipulation of the global economy. While the Illuminati diehards are refusing to accept that their long reign of massive corruption is over, some among the ranks are seeing the utter futility of those measures and jumping ship, so to say; and any ideas about replacing the dollar with AMERO currency are as unworkable as any concerns about that change are needless.
         However, please do not expect an abrupt change for the better when the new US presidential administration takes over — they will inherit a horrendous mess that will take time to correct. Correction must start in that country, where the Federal Reserve vulture holds sway, and correct it the new leaders will, but there is such commotion in Earth’s energy field of potential at this moment that it’s not possible to discern how long global reformation will take.
         We have been asked how people around the world will weather the effects of what finally is called what it is, an international economic crisis, and we can only say that this is like in any other situation on the planet: The universal law of attraction, or “like attracts like,” which is totally neutral and constantly in operation, will serve each individual in accordance with his or her perception of and reaction to personal situations. The energy sent forth by those who see themselves as tragic victims will zoom out and draw to itself the energy of thought forms in the “universal soup” that match the individual’s thoughts and feelings, and the energy combination will manifest “tragic victim” circumstances for the person to deal with. Those who feel genuine gratitude for what they have will be provided with more to be grateful for, and the energy of sharing with an open heart has the same positive result.
         But always the foundation of weathering any distressing situation is staying out of fear about it! The magnified energy of fear assures that the law of attraction will bring fear-filled circumstances to the fearful person. Knowing that out of the current turmoil will come abundance for all will keep your spirits high and your resolve strong if your outlook remains positive and you don’t allow the negativity of fear to intrude. Not only does fear beget more of itself, but it is contagious — we urge you not to let that negativity enter your energy stream and radiate out to afflict those who are nearest and dearest to you!
         Every one of Earth’s humankind has had a lifetime, more likely many lifetimes, of struggling to get food enough to keep from starving to death. Within that cellular memory is the instinct that gives strength of spirit and determination to survive; in this case, it is making it through the temporary economic tumult and thriving in the abundance at the end of the tunnel. It is true, though, that millions in impoverished countries will not survive until tyranny and greed end and abundance arrives. As sensitive, caring and compassionate beings, you abhor the conditions that cause suffering and so many deaths, and your efforts to end that kind of tragic existence is godliness in action.
         It is sad for us to see that kind of suffering too, even though we understand what most peoples do not: Those souls in abject misery did not embody to have a long, happy and healthy life — they came to complete the karma they need to move out of third density, and by so doing, they are successfully accomplishing their life’s purpose. We understand as well that this is known to them only at soul level, and that is why we weep with them about their living and dying circumstances. Even for ones who know about multiple lifetimes, who know that those lived in health and splendor are balanced by others in terror, disease and dire deprivation, it is difficult to comprehend that such a cruel “fate” must befall anyone. At soul level it is known that lifetimes are experienced simultaneously in the continuum, where there is no linear time; but only in higher states of consciousness is it possible to comprehend that in the very same moment the soul who is suffering in one lifetime is exalting in the beauty and joyousness of another.

         Let me return to the law of attraction for a moment to mention another of its dimensions. If a spiritually evolved individual feels uncomfortable or even repulsed when meeting a stranger, it is because their energy fields are so incompatible — there is no “like” to attract “like.” When that same individual feels strongly attracted to a stranger, it is “like attracting like”; without consciously knowing that the stranger has qualities of compassion, honor, helpfulness, honesty and a sense of justness, the individual experiences soul-to-soul recognition of those components in that person's energy make-up.
         It may seem to be a giant leap from that statement to the presidential election in the United States, but it is not such an illogical transition when you think of the lighted soul who left his homeland planet to be the next leader of that country. Because nothing has changed in that respect since our last report, there is little else to say except that almost everyone is feeling relieved that the day of voting is imminent. Ah yes, let me reply here to readers’ questions. Regarding the suspicions raised about Barack Obama’s citizenship, when God authorizes a willing soul to accept a position of critical importance, nothing so minor as a technical interpretation — or a “smear campaign” — can interfere. As for Obama’s supporting the “economic bailout,” it is incumbent upon him to maintain the appearance of being in agreement with the Illuminati faction members who thrust him from relative obscurity into the presidential candidacy; once in office, his actions will show where his heart and soul truly are, and that is not with perpetuating the corruption and deception that some feel he is aligned with. To those who cannot see the light in Obama, we say, “Be patient; you will.”

         Have no worries about another stolen election. Quite aside from what can be thought of as a “universal choice,” the unstoppable momentum we reported a few months ago is becoming so evident that rigging votes to favor McCain would cause such national outrage that the Illuminati group backing him would not risk a demand for a “transparent” investigation. There is another consideration here, too. I am not saying that the election is not still of interest to the pro-McCain group, but if ever anything could be a “common cause” for the Illuminati’s two factions and the groups within each, it is preservation of their vast fortunes, and their increasingly feeble hold on the global economy has become an overwhelming concern to all of them.
         I believe all the other questions can be answered thusly: The combination of Obama’s innate wisdom and leadership experience from lifetimes in spiritually and intellectually evolved civilizations and the light that increasingly is raising consciousness of Earth humankind will heal the divisiveness evident in the current ferocity of political haranguing; the new administration will welcome the assistance of your space brothers and sisters when they can offer it overtly, and it will be in whatever form is needed, from new technologies to educational aids for students and mass media to new construction methods and materials. I hasten to add that the same extraterrestrial assistance will be offered worldwide.
         It is a joy for us that Ecuadorian citizens will be voting on a new constitution that includes national recognition of the rights of Nature. This noteworthy inclusion is an example of how the light is literally illuminating individuals’ pathways around your world, and how we wish you could see this from our vantage point — bleak outlooks as to what Earth will be like for future generations would vanish in an instant!
         Along this line, while it is definitely so that the current use of fossil fuels is not healthy for your environment and their extraction is not healthy for Earth’s planetary body, the scientific controversy about global warming is a waste of energy. Melting glaciers and icebergs and weather anomalies are paving the way to a favorable climate globally, to the restoration of barren lands so they can become arable again and the end of both the hottest and the polar regions. Yes, this means that some animal species will become extinct, those that cannot adapt to the serious changes in their habitats; but others will be able to adjust to the changes and flourish. Gradually all animals will become herbivores and the outcry to kill numbers of “predators” will cease. In the meantime, please continue your efforts to protect all animal life, to stop the terrible abuse and end the slaughtering on land and in the seas. Humans’ inhumane treatment of animals has caused a staggering amount of negativity for Earth to deal with.

The Golden Age
         Now I shall lump together the assortment of questions about what can be anticipated on the “first day of the Golden Age,” to quote one writer. But first I say, your world could be transformed into the Golden Age in the twinkling of an eye IF that belief and vision were in the collective consciousness, but it is not and so all the changes will be a process. Also please remember that the glories of the Golden Age will be available only to the souls who absorb the light that will enable physical survival along Earth’s ascension journey into the high frequencies of fifth density. When the bodies of those who refuse the light no longer can sustain viability, the souls will go to worlds where the energy matches their lifetime energy and where they will have other opportunities to raise their consciousness and evolve spiritually.
         So then, there will be no clear demarcation between third density ending and the Golden Age beginning, and there cannot be a “coordinated end” of all activities based in darkness. Ridding Earth of toxicity will be given high priority as advancement in other ways will require a healthy environment, so all pollutants, including radiation from depleting uranium, will be dematerialized or neutralized quite rapidly with your space family’s technology. Other situations that have been a plague on the planet —wars, murders, rape and other violence; man-made diseases and weather; governments’ surveillance of citizens; police brutality, unjust laws, false accusations and imprisonment; sales of weaponry and other war equipment; sex slavery, child molestation, pornography — ALL issues derived from the influence of the darkness — will diminish until they cease entirely because of peoples’ heightened consciousness and spiritual clarity.
         Likewise there will be no abrupt shift from one extreme to the other in what I shall call “daily living.” Diseases and debilitating conditions will be treated increasingly with natural remedies and energy movement until all people are healthy in body, mind and emotions; this includes those whom you call “special needs” persons and ones missing limbs or vision or hearing. Adaptations will be phased into electrical, electronic and mechanical areas as photons become as numerous as electrons and then dominate Earth’s energy field. Your customary modes of transportation and the energy that powers them will gradually give way to new vehicle designs, and energy sources that even now are being developed will come into common usage; with continued advancement in intellect and spirituality, eventually you will be able to teleport around the planet and astrally travel to other worlds. Wireless communication instruments that are damaging to health will be modified to eliminate their hazardous features; utility poles and wires will go underground or be eliminated; there will be no need for surveillance mechanisms, including in your televisions, so they will disappear; and yes, everyone will have the ability to communicate telepathically.
         I believe that covers all the questions, but there is much more to look forward to during the period of transition from now through 2012 and henceforth, as I described in a previous message (Dec. 31, 2007 in “Matthew’s Messages” on www.matthewbooks.com).
         Souls at this station learned that in lower densities we kept introducing complexities into our lives and as we progressed in our evolvement, life became simpler and its purpose clearer. Creator and God intended souls’ lives to be loving, joyous and fulfilling in the ONENESS of ALL. Relating that and other universal truths always has been the primary objective of the four books and 70-some messages since their publication. If I were tasked with summarizing all that information into a few succinct guidelines to help you along your spiritual journey, they would be these: Know that you are a part of God, inseparable from Him and all other souls in this universe. Love and forgive self and others. Be fearless, compassionate, kind and honorable. See blessings and feel gratitude for them. Be discerning as you keep your mind open to learning. Trust and follow your intuition. If I had to be even briefer: Love is the key to everything.
         And now, on behalf of all souls at this station, I bid you loving farewell in word only as we are with you every step along your pathway.

                                                   LOVE and PEACE... Suzanne Ward
