Preserving Human Cultures, Edmonds, Washington,
August 19, 2001

Everybody upon this Earth at this time in this world has an important duty to fulfill. Each one of them is aware of the fact that they have a duty, for deep within the heart and mind of each individual there is a solemn sense that one has an obligation in being here, that one has a purpose in being here, that one has an assignment. And there is an unease in the hearts of many that they do not know their assignment, or may not be fulfilling it. Thus, many people are very anxious regarding their purpose in living.

For many beings, for many human beings, the existential questions of, "Why am I here?" are actually an expression of the deeper subconscious question: "Am I fulfilling my purpose in being here?" The deep knowing that there is a purpose meets the question of what is one doing to achieve it.

So we would say to you all, dear ones, that you all have a purpose for being here, and that, indeed, your purpose for being upon this earth at this time is more closely linked to one another’s purposes, more united as one kind of large singular purpose, than has almost ever been the case before.

The purpose in previous incarnations of all beings-- and almost everybody upon the earth at this time has been incarnated upon the earth before-- the purpose of these previous incarnations has been largely to explore the nature of individuality and selfhood, and the nature of interrelationship between selves: of negotiating relations between people on the social sphere, and of achieving a world community. And that community has been achieved. You may be surprised to hear us say this, because there is so much strife and struggle in the world. But strife and struggle is a part of a community. You are now a world of community, made up of many smaller communities, each made up of smaller communities still. But this has been achieved through life after life after life of fulfillment of life’s purposes.

But your purposes now are different than this. You are no longer here to establish communities, but to preserve communities. That is the fundamental purpose and nature of the incarnation of every human being upon the Earth at this time: to find a way to preserve the communities that you have built.

It is only by the building of community that individuality can be seen in relation to other individualities. Communities are essential to understanding the nature of "I," for one, alone, is really not I. Only when one is together with others who are also one, each individual feeling that they are one, does one have to relate, one to another. And thus one develops profound contemplation of who one is in relationship to other beings. It would not be possible to achieve many realizations of the truth of who one is, without communion from socialization with others who are also on this same journey. Thus, the establishment of community is critical to the fulfillment of one’s purpose as a soul in incarnation upon the Earth: to know one’s self and to know one’s relationship to God.

Now that the community is established, that purpose has been largely fulfilled, and has been for quite some time. In fact, your large war-- the one which happened when they dropped the atomic bombs-- that war marked the end of the building of community, and it marked the beginning of the preservation of community. Not the atomic bombs themselves which marked this beginning of the need for preservation, although that was a symptom of the growing need, but the time of the war marked a convulsive end to the building of community and a sudden shift-- really, a quite dramatic and quick shift-- into preservation.

This period of preservation is very, very important because that which you have built could be easily lost. One must maintain and hold that which one has worked so hard to achieve. Because the lessons of, "Who am I in relation to others, in relation to myself, in relation to God?" have not been learned by all. Incarnation after incarnation, each soul continues to come into this place in order to fine-tune and fulfill its purpose in learning this lesson ever more clearly and purposefully.

Thus, your world is precious, because it is the stage upon which this play is enacted, and is the laboratory in which these experiments are carried out. It also is the pulpit from which your truths are preached. It is the classroom in which you share with one another and teach one another. It is everything. It is the womb in which the human family is born again and again and again. So you must preserve this place, because you are not yet done learning. Your learning has been great and vast to this day, but there is so much left to know.

Preservation, therefore, is a purpose which ties all of you together in these times. Each being must take courage and believe that they are worthy of fostering preservation. And the energy of preservation, which is a quiet energy and a firm energy, a strident and yet calm and peaceful energy, should be present in the heart of everyone. It is there, and one must simply allow it to be there.

The energy of preservation is not frantic. It is not desperate. It is very firm, very strident, and yet at the same time calm and knowing of its purpose and of its properness.

And so this energy should be within the hearts of everyone and should be called forth in these days, so that those things which are good around you are maintained, and those things which are valuable to you are preserved, and this opportunity to live upon this world, life after life after life, is maintained for others.

Remember, beloved ones, that these generations for whom you preserve this world include yourself, for most of you will return to this place yet again, to know and to learn, to love and to fail and to succeed, and to grow time after time. Without this place, you would not have that chance. Without that chance, you could not fulfill your purpose as a soul-being, and your purpose for individuating from God so long ago. You must return to God, and you need this Earth to do that, for that is your purpose, and this is your place.

We bless your endeavors to preserve this beautiful, beautiful planet, and we urge you to consider every effort to stop its destruction and encourage its rebirth as a green and happy place in which you all should dwell for many generations and eons of generations to come.

Would you like to ask any questions today, dear one?

David: What could I possibly ask?

Are you pleased with the message?

David: You have them stockpiled there, huh?

Yes! [Laughs] We have so many messages to give, but there is a proper time and place to give each one.

David: Thank you.

You are welcome. We bless you. We bless you. We bless you. Farewell to you for now.
