Lesson Eight   "The New Understanding of Love"

Tobias Q & A

Presented at the Crimson Circle
March 2, 2002

TOBIAS: And so it is, dear friends, dear Shaumbra, that we gather together again in our sacred energy with family and friends and ones who are dearly loved. We have much to speak of today. We have many things to cover.

We see the energies change so much here when you open your heart, when you allow us to come into this space with you. We have done this together now as a family and as a group many, many times together. You are getting used to allowing this flow to come in.

It is so easy for us now to come through the door to visit you. We do not need all sorts of special fancy passwords. We do not have to beg you any more. We do not have to assure you so much that what you are feeling within your being… what you are experiencing all around you… the knowingnesses that you are coming to in this Language of Ah… it is real. It is real.

The doubt that has been with you – haunting you – is leaving you. Oh, there are still traces and residues of this, but the doubt that you could sit with family and Shaumbra in a space like this and feel God within you… that doubt is slowly going away.

Five years ago it would have been difficult for you to truly accept the actual essence and the presence of Spirit and your own divinity and angels from the other side of the veil… that they could be sitting with you now, could be present in this space. But, you have learned well to breathe all of this in.

Breathing… there is no intellect involved here. It simply is. You have learned to breathe your own divinity within you. You have learned to hold your divinity, to hold it as a precious energy that belongs to you. You have learned, dear friends, to breathe this divinity in.

And, as it comes in from within you, then you are aware of all of the other energies that come with it. You are aware of I, Tobias. You are aware of the visitors that we have with each session like this. You are aware of all of the potential of Spirit. Your awareness of your own God-self and divinity comes first. It comes first. All of the other awarenesses and understandings come after that. My… my, how you have learned this well!

We have all sought other masters. We have all sought other gurus. Oh, in my days, which I like speaking about… in my days we followed masters. We followed prophets. We followed other entities even as humans do today. But, this group, Shaumbra, the ones who have taken the long road, the lonely road at times and the quiet road… ah, you have learned so well that there is only one master. And, I, Tobias, am looking at it right now. That master is YOU.

As you follow your own knowingnesses and your own divinity, then you see the grander picture. You see the angels. You see the other entities. You see Truth. And, you hear things that you have never heard before. You have learned not to follow something from the outside. That is why we love you so much. That is why this room fills with love today.

We have many, many, many visitors today with us. The energy of this room warms up, partly for Cauldre (Geoffrey Hoppe), so he might not be so chilly up there (on stage, on this particularly cold day)! But, it warms up for all of you as the entities come flooding in. And, we will introduce them in a moment.

But, before we do, we ask something simple of you. We ask you to do this with no agenda. We ask you to help set the energy of this space on this day. Dear friends, so many of you know what we are going to say, "Stand up, breathe, and hug those around you." This will help bring in all of the energies. (audience laughter) Stand up, breathe, and hug those around you without agenda.

(Tobias pauses while audience stands and shares hugs with each other, with laughter and talking back and forth.)

Now, dear friends, Cauldre is always worried about what we are going to do! (audience laughter) And, when he knew that this moment of hugging was coming, he said, "Oh, Tobias, you will lose them here and now." (more audience laughter) "You have broken this wonderful energy that you have started."

But, we know better. We know Shaumbra. We know that instead you have intensified the energy. You have taken the tension out of the air, so that we can truly work with you today in Lesson Eight, so we can truly work with you in the energy of this lesson. That is what is important here, more than all of the other lessons we have worked together on with you. It is the energy of this lesson.

It is a simple lesson that we will speak of. There will be no homework with it. (audience laughter) There will be no challenges with this lesson. It simply is. It is one we have been looking forward to for quite some time. Indeed, there are understandings that go with it. But, it is an energy. It is a morsel for you to feel, and to sense, and to own on this day.

But, before we get into the actual discussions of this day, let us introduce our guests. You will understand later why they come in today, and why it is so important. Indeed, as so many of you feel, the energy of Metatron is here. Oh, indeed this energy is so important right now. It is part of what we are all doing together, for as the grids of Earth are changed in response to your consciousness, the veil is reduced.

There is a magnetic influence that comes both from Earth – what you call Gaia – and there is a corresponding electromagnetic grid that surrounds your planet. There is even a broader grid that surrounds your place in space. It is not specifically related to your solar system. But, there is an energetic grid that encompasses a wide, wide area of your planets and your sun, and even past that.

Metatron comes in closer. He has not been able to do this in all of the history of humankind. He comes in closer now. And, it is in direct response to you understanding and becoming aware of your divinity and of your ability to hold it. In the first gathering when Metatron came in, we had to have many energetic filters. The energy was so strong, and it would have overwhelmed you. But even now, just a few months of your Earth time later, we do not need nearly the amount of energetic filtering. Metatron can come and go quite easily. Metatron can sit next to you now. Metatron can convey his energy and his love to you quite easily.

So, indeed you will feel this energy coming closer and closer… closer and closer to you. This is because you are holding your divinity.

Perhaps, you still do not understand it in your human mind. Perhaps, you still struggle, "What is this thing of divinity?" But, dear friends, we can see that you are beginning to hold it. That level of doubt is going away. You are still having many challenges. You are going through a very challenging time in the history of your soul, in the history of the omniverse, in the history of All That Is. You’ll look back someday, and you will understand of what we speak.

You are going through a most challenging time, but yet you are moving forward. That is what we love about you. You continue to expand and to grow. Oh, there are times, we know, when you feel like it is important to sit on the sidelines for a moment, but then you are right back into the evolution of All That Is, helping to journey forth.

That is why Metatron comes closer and closer… closer and closer to you. Metatron IS you, dear friends. You are part of that energy, of that energetic family or group that makes up Metatron. It is not really a "he." It is not an individual. It is a consciousness of God. It is a consciousness of love.

There are also those from the Crimson Council who come in today. This is the family that you join when you come back to this side of the veil. This is like a Home away from Home for you. When you reunite with those who you had known in the most immediate lifetime of yours… and you hugged your grandmother… and you hugged that dog that you loved so much as a child… then, you realize that all things are all right. And, you realize that there is purpose and meaning and flow in Spirit.

When you get back to this side, then generally you return to the energetic family of the Crimson. You return to this group that you have spent so much time with, this group that has been working with the understandings of the energy of teaching. You return to those who you have known since nearly the beginning of your time, those that you have worked with in helping to create this universe and this beautiful place called Earth.

When you return here, and you come back and sit with us, dear friends… oh, there is not this hierarchy that you must go through – unless you want to. No, you sit at the table with us. We sit as equals. And, we are amazed! We are in awe of what you have recently done on Earth. We sit with you for a long time, asking questions like, "What did it feel like? What was that feeling of fear? What was that feeling of joy? What caused you to make a certain decision at that certain time?" Oh, we are intrigued with the stories that you have. We sit around and talk of this for quite some time.

The energies of the Crimson Council are here on this day. This is an important and noteworthy day. Indeed, it is. This is a turning point, a shifting point. And, it is not what you think. But, it is a turning and shifting point.

Our very special guests on this day bring in the energy of excitement. Perhaps, you could feel it, even before you sat in your chair. Perhaps, you can feel the giggling and hear the laughter and feel the excitement of this group of visitors that come in on this day. There is something they want to learn from you. They want to connect with you energetically.

There is a large group of souls who are preparing to come in to Earth in these next four to five months of time. They are in their final preparation stages for coming back to Earth. And, they come to visit this group today. They want to observe a group of humans who are at a leading edge of this work of divine integration. They want to observe a group who has walked through the doorway of ascension, because they know they will be doing this soon also.

Cauldre asked us to put a specific number on these children that come in on this day. There are thousands here today, but in a way their energy is combined together so it does not feel so crowded or overwhelming.

These soon-to-be children come in today to watch and observe. No, they are not gawking. They are in awe. They know they will be following a path similar to yours quite soon. Some of these soon-to-be-human children are already adopting the energy of the human child. Even though they are old and wise souls, they come into this room today like children because they are in their preparation for coming back to Earth. That is why there is such an energy of innocence. That is why there is so much laughter and silliness with them as they come in here.

Dear friends, some of the soon-to-be children are ones that you knew, that were your teachers in this very lifetime… indeed, ones who were grandparents for you… ones who were special friends you lost at an early age, but you have stayed connected with at other levels.

Many of the soon-to-be children are ones you have known in previous lives, or ones you have known in this lifetime. They join us today to understand your journey and the path. They come here to be with the ones who are, in their words, the "trail blazers." Many of you here will be their teachers. So, they come to sit next to you today.

So, we have quite a crowd here today – the energy of Metatron, the energy of the Crimson Council, the energy of the new children. They come today to learn about the new balance. They come today to learn about the releasing of duality. Like you, they have spent many, many lifetimes on Earth, taking on this intensified duality, learning to play the game of duality. They come in today to watch a group of humans who are releasing duality and releasing agenda.

We know that our last lesson (Lesson Seven: "Know No Agenda") was a difficult and challenging lesson. For some of you it was so challenging that you heard the words, and you put these down, and you said, "The time is not right for me. I do not understand the concept, so I will not think about it for the time being." And, that was wonderful, because even just the energy that you connected with in that lesson was enough to begin an internal process that is helping you to release agenda.

Our last lesson was a difficult one indeed! It will also be difficult one for you to teach to others. They, like you, will not quite understand what agenda is. They will have to go within their being for greater understandings. Dear friends, the ones you teach about agenda… they too may put the book down at the time and walk away, walk away from you, saying, "This is not right for me. I do not so much understand this teacher and what they are asking of me!" We know that many of you had that reaction. But, it was a key lesson to understanding what we are going to talk about today. And, what we are going to talk about today is a beautiful, and a wonderful, and joyful thing.

Now, before we proceed, it is important to talk for a moment of where you are… where your world is… what things will be coming your way… how we see it from our side. As we said, you are going through a very challenging period right now. You are learning to integrate your own divinity. You are learning to release the ways of the Old Energy. You are learning to release the Old Energy with honor, not to throw it out with the trash. Honor the ways of the Old Energy, even the ways of what you would call your New Age, because it brought you to this point.

(chuckling) Oh, we know, some of you have called us crazy when we asked you to release many of the New Age things – the crystals, the prayers, the meditations, the aliens. We know these things have been a comfort, like a comfortable blanket, for you. We have challenged you to release these things, for indeed they too have been agendas. They too have been like boulders in the river.

Many have run the other way when they heard some of our words. They do not want to give up these things. They do not want to give up these things that are wonderful in a way, but distractions in another way.

By releasing the ways of the Old Energy, you are releasing your agendas. By releasing them, you are forced to look within yourself. How difficult to do! It is much more fun to look at someone else's astrological chart than to look at yourself. It is much more pleasurable, dear friends, to sit in a meditation where you clear your mind and focus on one thing than to have to use the Language of Ah and all of the senses to help connect with who you are.

These things are challenging, we know. That is why we love you so much. You have learned to gently place the Old Energy ways on the bookshelf. You have learned to continue moving forth into the New Energy by releasing the things of the Old Energy. This has allowed you to truly begin making that divine internal connection.

And, that is what it is all about. That is what you ask us to come here to talk to you about each time. "Dear Spirit, dear Tobias, and All That Is, come and talk to us about how to make that divine connection while still in human form. Talk to us about how to once again make that connection with the energy of Home." That is why we speak these things to you. You are beginning to hold your divinity, beginning to keep it within your being. Oh, that is so important. Instead of flashes of energy coming through, instead of getting a hit now and then, you are truly holding it in.

What lies ahead for you in this next period of time? You will continue to have experiences. And, indeed as long as you are in human form and reside in the energy of duality, there will be challenges. But, you will begin to have a new level of trust within yourself.

Things will start coming together. Things that you have been yearning for will start coming together in strange and mysterious ways, but ways that YOU have set up. You will begin to understand how you can truly be your own guide. You do not need a guide that is an angel. You do not need a guide that is a human professing a certain philosophy or selling a feel-good-quick scheme. Your soul is your own guide.

As you release the energy of duality around you, you will come to new awarenesses, and in those awarenesses new potentials of what can be. You will come to a new way of creating. We are not talking here, dear friends, of months or years from now. It is happening now. These changes are already within you. You are already starting to experience these things. This is not a golden promise held out in front of you to have at a later time. It is happening to you now.

We know so very well how you have gotten tired of the promises that you hear over and over from those who profess to be spiritual leaders and guides. We know you have gotten tired of hearing about tomorrows. That is why we have pushed you hard. That is why you have pushed yourself hard. That is why it is already happening for you and will continue to.

What do we see ahead for you and Shaumbra? A new way of living, a way of living that is already within you and already beginning to take shape. A way that is easier. The more mundane things in life will somehow magically, mysteriously take care of themselves. You will not need to put specific energy into the specific details of life. They will take on a life of their own and seem to work for you automatically.

And, you will know that this is not a miracle. When others around you want to know how these "miracles" happen to you, you will chuckle, because you will have known how hard you have worked to get to this point. Where there is an alignment and a melding of energy now, it comes together in a very divine way. And, it is YOUR energy. And, it is YOUR God-self. It is not some Higher Self that you do not even know so well. It is within you. It IS you now.

What we see for you and for Shaumbra ahead is a release of the harshness of life. With it comes a new wisdom to know how to use these new energies. Indeed, for the one who is asking… indeed, you will understand, not in your head, but in your spirit, how to bring balance back to your body. That is what is already happening to so many of you.

When your body goes through shifts and changes, you will understand not to fight it. You see what we are saying here. There is a new rebalancing of your body, but you will not be so overly concerned and so anxious when your body goes through adjustments. This is natural, particularly during this time you are in. Your body needs to go through changes. Honor it. Stop fighting it. If your body needs rest, listen to it and honor it. If your body is purging in ways, through what you would call flus and colds, allow it to do that. It needs it now to release much Old Energy.

Each night when you lie down your physical body is like a factory. It goes to work. It cranks up. The third shift comes in. And, many changes occur within you. There is a literal changing of your DNA and sub-DNA. There is a literal sweeping of the floors and cleaning house and throwing out the trash. And, the trash has to come out somewhere! Sometimes it comes out through your skin. Sometimes it is in your muscles. Sometimes it comes out in ways that Cauldre does not want us talking about! (much audience laughter) But, you know of what we speak. Allow these things to happen.

What is your own Earth going through at this time? In a way, it is going through the type of energetic changes that YOU have gone through over these past 10 and 20 and 30 years. You can look at the energies and the cycles of Earth, and you can see what is happening if you look into your life in these past years. Think of what it was like for you, 10, 20 years ago – the turbulence… the quest to understand who you are… the quest for identity and meaning. The consciousness of humankind is at that point now.

Think of yourself in your teens, in your early 20's. Think of how life was then. Think of how you were looking for answers, and not finding them always. Look at how you deeply, deeply longed for meaning in your life back then, a journey that has brought you to this very place at this very moment.

This is what Earth and humankind are going through now. Many shifts, looking for meaning. When the consciousness of Earth discovers that those who have held an energy of leadership and authority and trust have misused that… oh, dear ones, there is much anger… there is much feeling of being intruded upon… there is much mistrust! That is what is happening now. Look at your own institutions and your corporations. Look at the churches. We have spoken of this before. The walls come tumbling down. The trust leaves. That is happening on Earth now.

What we are saying is that there will be chaos around you. There will be turbulence all around you. And, it will continue these next few years. It will get very intense at times. When this happens, when you read your headlines, or watch your news, or see these things happen, remember the turmoil that you went through 10, 20 and 30 years ago in search for your own truth.

You will continue to see extremes of duality on your Earth at this time. We are not saying that there will necessarily be grand disasters or events like your September 11 occurring again, but there is the extreme of duality in a time like this. This is not a time for the middle ground. The energies are playing off of each other very strongly right now, very strongly. You will be living in a world filled with much growth, just like you grew so much years and years ago in your first awakening.

Your Earth will be going through much, trying to understand the consciousness and the energies around it. In particular, you will see later this summer and into your fall months a build-up of these energies. Clip the headlines for your album to look at later. Put this in your journal as you see the events taking place. And, you can write on each one, and you can underline it – duality in extreme, duality in action.

The energies will be heating up later this year, because, as the final adjustments of the grids are made on Earth, the extremes come forward. The Old does not want to change. The Old does not want to change. Plus, new energy has to be created to propel consciousness forward. How is this energy created? When there is a friction! It is when there is a battle between the forces of duality. That is why you will see these things.

You are wise enough now to understand that your world is not coming apart at the seams. You are wise enough now to release that anxiety that you held for so long that perhaps this is the end, the Armageddon. You are wise enough now to understand that this is duality playing in extremes, much like children play in extremes at times. They are trying to find the limits. They are testing their own abilities. They are trying to find the boundaries if there are any, so they play to extremes. That is what is happening on your Earth now. That is what you can expect.

As we have said at the beginning of this Ascension Series, it is not about you any more. It is not. The world is evolving and expanding. And from our perspective, it is all a beautiful and wonderful thing. It is all part of a process.

There are events that we do not so much enjoy, like your September 11th. We were sad because you were sad. We were sad that things went to that extreme, but ultimately you have the wisdom to understand that all of these things are appropriate at this time of change. These changes will continue intensifying through the end of the year. Dear friends, have no agenda about them, and you will see what is truly happening, and you will see the true wisdom.

Now, after the end of this calendar year, after the changes of the grids take place, there will be an extraordinarily large number of humans who choose to leave Earth. They have been holders of energy. They have been waiting for the appropriate time. We do not make any predictions of how this will happen, for those asking, "Will this be disease? Will this be war?" It will most likely be a combination of events – natural disasters, wars indeed, diseases indeed. It will be a larger number… it will be more intense than what it is right now.

There are those who have been holding this energy and know it is time to go. As they do, they make way for the new ones who will come in. They make way for the ones who are like the children in the room today. They also leave because they know that with the new energy of the grids, it will be more and more difficult for them to be in their old ways. As you know, sometimes it is easier to leave and to start over than to continue on the path that you are on now. Sometimes it is easier to come back to our side, to become refreshed and renewed before you come back to Earth.

This is what we see happening in the next period of time. Dear Shaumbra, own your divinity. Hold it within you. Have no agenda. You will to come to new and greater understandings.

(pause)

Today’s visitors, the soon-to-be children, come in even closer now. They are excited about coming back into human form. Oh, they had many lifetimes of challenges and difficulties. But, they are excited, for there is something new happening. It is not happening tomorrow, or a week from now. It is happening at this moment.

To help you understand what that is, let us go back to the time when you were at Home and in the Kingdom, back to when you were in the First Circle. This is to help you understand the spiritual physics of what we talk of today.

In the First Circle there was the energy of "Was." It simply was. That energy of Spirit did not know love, for there was nothing to compare it with. All That Is… simply was. All That Is was not aware of Self. It did not need to "be." It simply "was." It was an energy that existed and flowed. It was not even an energy of "one," as you would think of it. For, in order to have a "one," you would have to have something to compare it with. Spirit simply was.

As we have talked about in our story of Jack, at some point something happened – and yes, we will talk of this some day in great detail – that caused this energy of "was" to want to understand…what it was. It wanted to understand all that it could do and all of the potentials. When this happened, when there was the slightest contemplation on the part of Spirit of who Spirit was, then the energies became mirrors for each other. There was a type of split. It would not be what you now call "duality." That came later. But, there was a mirror image of self.

As we have talked about in our stories, this created the energies of the King and the Queen. They loved each other deeply. But, even they did not understand what love truly was. They sought to understand this new feeling, this new energy. For, in the First Circle, it was difficult for them to even understand love.

From this union, and from this to-be-discovered love between the King and the Queen, you were birthed. You were birthed from an energy that was part of the King and Queen, but yet different and separate. You, the creation of Spirit, went forth outside of the First Circle. That in itself is amazing! For, how can you go outside of All That Was? How can you go outside of a circle that contained all of the known energy and had the ability to expand itself within that circle? These are all things we will address, all fascinating issues.

You went forth, out into the void. When you did, this created duality. You were split into billions of pieces, and brought back together again at a point. Now you had your own unique identity. But, in that unique identity, you had also forgotten how to get back Home. You were set free, outside of the realm of Home, to go explore and to create. In order to do so, you took on the original energy of duality.

Duality – let us talk about it in terms of that white marble and the black marble, the two forces that work off of each other. Duality was created in your consciousness to help you understand who you were. Without duality, dear friends, how would you discover who you are? How would you come to know yourself? There had to be a mirror. There had to be an opposite for you to truly understand. This energy of duality has been with you since you first left Home. It has been the tool that you have you used, that you have owned and become so familiar with, to help you see aspects of yourself.

Now, you used this energy of duality to create the universe, and to go explore. You used it to understand the depth of the dark and the height of the light. As you used these energies back and forth, it brought new meaning and new identity to who you were. And, they also worked to propel each other. For, if you had not had the energy of "dark," "light" would have been static. If you had not had the energy of "light," "dark" would have gone into an abyss. They work together!

As these energies of duality worked back and forth, it did indeed slow down all things in your universe, the universe that you had so grandly created. You have always carried these energies of duality with you. They have always been part of who you are.

When it came time for what we have called the Order of the Arc, when the Earth was created, you came to Earth once again, carrying these energies of duality with you. You had the energy of duality, the polarity of the "plus" and the "minus," the "black" and the "white," the "high" and the "low." And, you also had the veil, the veil, which brought you to a new level of experience. Now, not only had you forgotten the energy of Home, but you had also forgotten the energy of home away from Home. It provided the opportunity to come to this grand place to take on body, to slow things down so that you could make conscious decision, so you could make conscious choice – all this a way of helping you to understand who you truly are.

Now, these energies of duality have been at work within you all of this time. They have remained polarized. There are times when you are more influenced by what you would call the white marble. And, there are times when you are more influenced by the black. This is to give you a depth of experience on both sides. When you move from a 2/3 light energy and 1/3 dark to a 2/3 dark and 1/3 light… when you move from one to the other, this helps to give you new understanding and depth.

You have used the opposing energies of the light and the dark to help propel you forward, to help move your consciousness forward. They have been important elements for you. That is why we say, "Be careful when you speak of being Lightworkers." You are all workers. You are divine workers. Be careful, dear friends, when you speak of being Warriors of the Light, because you are also Warriors of the Dark.

To deny your duality of the energies of both the white and the dark marble… to deny that is to deny part of who you are. You will go into energetic imbalance, and you will not be very happy. It is a balance of these elements that is so important – and so important right now. You have an intense fear of the darkness. But, you have been there. You have played in it. You have gone to the depths of it, even in this lifetime, and certainly in other lifetimes.

We spoke to you a month ago about agenda. When you have agenda, it energizes one of the elements of duality. And, that is fine and wonderful when you are still playing that game of duality. Have agenda all day long, and you will see the effects! You will polarize one end, and that will cause an equal and opposite reaction in the other part of duality. When you place all the emphasis on the light, that also builds the dark, and vice versa. That is why neither polarity, the light or dark, has ever been able to win over the other in the course of all humanity, and in the course of the universe, and in the course of your own soul.

Have an agenda towards one thing, and it has an equal and opposite energetic reaction towards the other. No, this is not karma. This is spiritual physics. This is playing! This is having fun! Oh, it would be so boring, if there was only light! What would you do? You would have no experience. So, when you polarize one marble, it also affects the other.

We have also talked of this third element, this "gray" element that would move back and forth. This creates momentum. This creates energy. This is the pendulum effect, or what we now call the "swinging back and forth." All of this pendulum effect, back and forth between the poles of duality, is appropriate. It is creating a momentum and an energy.

All of this time, dear ones, we and you have been on a quest for love. That is what we have been doing. Spirit by herself does not understand love. That is why you, Spirit, are on this journey. That is why you have taken the elements of duality, the spiritual physics of "2" and put them to work so well in your life. You have been on a quest for love, trying to understand, to learn, to feel.

You, Spirit… you, divine one, have also been learning to understand your own identity. As you do, as you come to understand the identity of your own divinity, then you begin to understand God. It has been said that you could never figure out God in your head. And, indeed that is true. It comes in through your heart. And, it comes in after you learn to understand your own divinity. When this happens, dear Shaumbra, then Home comes to you. As we have told you, you never go Home. That was not the purpose of all this. You don't go Home. Home comes to you.

Now why do we speak of all this today? You have come to the point of great wisdom and understanding. You are learning how to release your agendas. When you do, you take the energetic pendulum off of the energy of duality that you have had since the beginning. There are no longer the swings back and forth.

When the agenda stops, this creates something new. It creates a new love, dear friends, a new love. When you take agenda off, combined with the grand wisdom that you have gained over lifetimes and lifetimes… now the elements of duality can meld together, each with their own imprint intact, but no longer as opposing forces. They can meld together and create, not one, but a spiritual quotient of 4. That is why we have spoken of 4 over and over.

Duality is the energy of "two."It brought you here to help you understand who you are. It was a play-tool for you, this white and dark marble. When you release agenda, do not put a spin on either one of those energies. They combine, in a sense. As you could say, they make love with each other. This creates the energy quotient of "four."

This is the new understanding of love. And, this is Lesson Eight of the Ascension series, the New Understanding of Love. (chuckling) In a sense, there is no lesson that goes with this. There is nothing you need to do. It is already happening within you. It is not something you have to mentally work on. You do not need to leave this room, or leave this page, and go do something. You only need to understand that you are coming to a new understanding of love. It is happening and will continue to happen within you.

In the past, your understanding of love was somewhat limited. Your understanding of love was part of your quest for love. You would seek out another individual who was compatible and who truly filled the void within you and helped to balance you in ways. Indeed there were strong emotional feelings in connection with this person, but ultimately you did not find yourself through them. You only found a partner or a mate to take the journey with. They did not hold any energy of your divinity.

Your old understanding of love is very limited, very limited. Oh, you tried so hard to love at times! You told yourself you must love others… you must love what you're doing. But, you didn't have a clue what love truly was. In the new understanding of love, it goes beyond words. It is not what you think it is. It is the release of duality. It is no agenda. No agenda.

Now, those elements of duality that you have always had with you… shed their old energies. Oh, you might feel some of the effects on you physically. Allow this to happen.

The energies of duality are like waves, or wave lengths. There are highs and lows. They play off of one another. The lows propelled you to highs. The highs brought you to new insights that could sometimes be called low periods. They worked with each other. It is now about embracing ALL of that, the highs and the lows, the white marble, the black marble, the positive, the minus. Embrace all of it. Don't focus on just one energy of duality. Embrace all of it. This will give you a new understanding of love.

The new love will start within yourself first. Start within yourself first. This new love begins with you. Do not feel you need to go out and spread it all over the world right away. That will come. We will talk about that. Nurture it within yourself, much like you would nurture a child. It will start within.

You have done so much to avoid the lows and the pains and the darkness and the negative and the bad. But, it has all been part of you. It has been part of this grand game, if you call it that, or grand experience. Embrace all of it now. Release the agendas about the right and the wrong. Release the agendas about what others need and about what the world needs at this point. Embrace the highs and the lows, because they ARE all part of the same.

That is why we have spoken so ADAMANTLY about these drugs of yours. They take away the light and the dark. ALL of those elements are important. You need the ups and downs. It is how they are polarized now, how you work them within you.

There is a new love that is within you. And, it is an understanding. It is, in a sense, a wisdom, a feeling. It is so difficult for us to put into words. But, it is emerging. There is nothing you need to do. That is why today's lesson is so easy, and it is such a turning point. That is the reason why there are so many guests here on this day. You do not need to go home and scratch your head about this. The energy of the new love has been planted in this space. It was already within you. Now, it is anchored here.

The reason why the soon-to-be children come in today is because they want to understand this also. They have a journey in front of them. But, they want to see a group of humans who has come to the point where duality can be released. They want to see a group of humans who has transcended the old energetic ways of duality. They want to see how this new group accepts the dark and the light, the up and the down… accepts all these… no longer struggles, trying to get out of the void… no longer tries to cling to the high points… but understands that the rhythms of this are all appropriate, and in doing so, that there is no energizing of the old elements of duality.

It is a new love, but it is nothing like what you thought it would be. It does not have to do with another person, at least not at this time. It has to do with your own being and your own soul. It is already happening to you, as we said before, not tomorrow, not the next day. It is already happening. Simply let it be, dear friends.

This new understanding of love will continue to flourish and to grow. That is why it is so rewarding for us, so honoring for us today to give this lesson – because there is no lesson. There is simply acknowledgment of where you are.

Indeed, there are words for you to look at, to help you to understand where it is that you are at. But, the important thing is that you are here. The important thing, more than anything… as agenda is taken off, there is this melding… there is this new dynamic of what used to be duality. But, it is now going to this energy of four, rather than two.

What happens here in the new understanding of love is that Home, Home can finally come in. That is what is happening. That is why we are so fascinated. That is why the children-to-be are so excited. For the first time since all of us left Home, Home is starting to come in. Home is starting to, in a sense, reawaken, expand forth, come to meet you.

This is what we have all been excited about ever since our journey began. We all wondered, "Where is Home? Where is Spirit?" We all wondered when that time would come when Home would come to get us. And, you thought that Home would save you. But, it’s not like that. There is no saving. Home comes to greet you and to hug you and to thank you for this long journey that has changed the nature of All That Is. "Was" is no longer "was." "Was" IS now.

Dear friends, when we say that you are never alone on this day, we mean it like never before, for Home is finally able to begin coming in. It comes in through you and through your divinity and your ownership of it.

You are never alone, for Home is now touching you.

And so it is!



Tobias of the Crimson Council is presented by Geoffrey Hoppe, aka "Cauldre," Golden, Colorado. The story of Tobias, from the biblical Book of Tobit, can be found on the Crimson Circle web site at www.crimsoncircle.com. The Tobias Materials have been offered free of charge to lightworkers and Shaumbra around the world since August 1999, the time when Tobias said humanity moved past the potential of destruction and into the New Energy.

The Crimson Circle is a global network of human angels who are among the first to transition into the New Energy. As they experience the joys and challenges of the ascension status, they help other humans on their journeys through sharing, caring and guiding. Over 40,000 visitors come to the Crimson Circle web site each month to read the latest materials and discuss their own experiences.

The Crimson Circle meets monthly in the Denver, Colorado area where Tobias presents the latest information through Geoffrey Hoppe. Tobias states that he and the others of the celestial Crimson Council are actually channelling the humans. According to Tobias, they are reading our energies and translating our own information back to us so we can see it from the outside, while experiencing it on the inside. Crimson Circle gatherings are open to the public, although RSVPs are appreciated. There is nothing to join and no dues to pay. The Crimson Circle receives its abundance through the open love and gifting of Shaumbra throughout the world.

The ultimate purpose of the Crimson Circle is to serve as human guides and teachers to those walking the path of inner spiritual awakening. This is not an evangelical mission. Rather, the inner light will guide people to your doorstep for your compassion and care. You will know what to do and teach in that moment, when the unique and precious human who is about to embark on the journey of the Bridge of Swords comes to you.

If you are reading this and feel a sense of truth and connection, you are indeed Shaumbra. You are a teacher and a human guide.
