WELMEK – WALKING IN FAITH
AUGUST 16, 2002

Good evening!  This is your friend and teacher, Welmek.  I bid greetings
to our visitors this evening, and hope you will find this evening’s
lesson helpful in your spiritual growth.

All of your life’s journey is a walk of faith; coming to know the Father;
coming to a greater understanding of the person you have been created to
be in the image of God, in the very image of perfection itself.  And so
over these last several months the lessons have been offered to you to
give you a greater glimpse of staying steadfast in this faith-walk you
are now firmly ensconced upon.  

And so I ask you now to take this idea of “walking in faith” into the
stillness, and to think about what this means to you.  And I would like
you to speak to the spirit of God that lives within you and ask, “How can
I stay more steadfast on this path.  What is the one thing I need now, to
keep me moving forward in my development?”  Spend a few moments, and if
you feel so inclined, please share your insights with me in a brief
manner.  Thank you.  

Student:  My greatest need is faith.  I need to deepen my faith!

Welmek:  I would ask you to take this into the stillness and ask your
Spirit how you can deepen your faith.

Student:  What I got was “trust”.  

Welmek:  What do you trust in?  Where do you place your trust?  

Student:  I need to trust what happens; and not make judgements about
what happens.

Welmek:  Do you have a sense within you of how much you are loved?  And
how much you are appreciated by the loving creator parent whose image you
have been created?  I would ask you to go within and sense this idea now
that I bring it to you to feel what this means within you:  “Do I feel
this love?  Do I feel I am loved?  Can I trust in this Love? Can I have
absolute assurance that this love upholds me and protects me and
strengthens me and guides me?”  I ask you to take this now into your
being and let this sit in your mind for a few moments.  Do you
understand?  (Yes.)

Student:  Welmek, sometimes life deals us tough hands and difficult
situations, and I’m thinking it’s hard to feel loved at those times. 
It’s too bad we have to go through difficult times to test our depth;
feel the capability to feel loved.  It’s quite a challenge here! 

Welmek:  So would you say that your biggest obstacle in your faith-walk
is your ability to feel this love that offers you a sense of perspective
of why you must encounter challenges in your life?  

Student:  It’s difficult for me to feel loved, it seems, but easier for
me to see the wisdom of being fearless, somehow, and that’s difficult
without faith, so I think I have a faith that I’m not even aware of,
maybe, because I see the value of letting go of fear, and the importance
of having a clarity of mind – sort of Buddha nature, so to speak.  These
are lessons I’ve been seeing the last couple of days so they may be off
topic and to some degree.  

Welmek:  All of life is a lesson, my friend, and there are lessons in the
many things that you do throughout the day.  They have the capacity to
stimulate your thought processes, your ability to analyze and synthesize
information that pours in and through your consciousness.  But there is
something deeper within you that affects you even greater than your
ability to think.  And that is your ability to sense the spirit presence
of the Father within you.  And that is not just a feeling of being
peaceful.  It is an unequivocal feeling of being a beloved child.  For in
spite of all the difficulties that you must endure on your planet,
feeling loved is the surest protection you have against the feeling
damage that it can wreak within your soul when you are in the midst of a
spirit-threatening circumstance that will diminish your sense of who you
are and who you were created to be.  

If this is a sensing that you have not fully developed, I would say then,
it is advisable to take this idea into the stillness and ask to feel the
Father’s love for you.  That it is no longer your desire just to feel
these feelings of peace or what you might consider to be the Buddha
consciousness, but to feel how deeply and devotedly you are loved by your
Divine Father Mother God.  

This is the best way to deepen your trust, for when you have faith in
their love for you, you know with certainty and with assurance that all
things work for the good, and everything that happens to you in life is
there to teach you another aspect of God’s nature, to help you love and
serve your brother’s and sister’s more, and to help you understand
yourself and all of the beautiful qualities that you are growing. 
Without feeling this love, you will not activate that faith to the
fullest degree that keeps you on your path with assurance, with
confidence, and with the ability to love with the depth and a breadth
than you have heretofore experienced.  Does this help?  

Student:  Yes!  And there’s some question in my mind about how opening my
heart would cause me more pain, in a sense, to be connected to the level
of suffering that exists on this planet would be overwhelming.  So it
seems like kind of a challenge to be able to open my heart to love and
yet not be overwhelmed by the suffering around the planet, and all of the
levels of suffering and all?  

Welmek:  You have within you a truth-sensor.  It is the Spirit of Truth
that has been given to you by Jesus – by our beloved Master.  He, who
experienced the fullness of this world, knows how to communicate the
feelings and the range of feelings that you experience in life to help
you move forward.  Do not be afraid of experiencing pain; this pain of
the world, as you say, for in that feeling of understanding the sorrows
of this world comes the unbelievably rich experience of divine empathy,
mercy, compassion, forgiveness, and most of all, love.  The love that
passes all understanding in its revelation of the Fatherly love that
Jesus bestowed and administered to all who came in contact with Him.  And
you have the same capacity to achieve this, my friend, if you rise to the
challenge.  Let Jesus show you how He achieved this.  Let Jesus guide you
into this realm now if you wish to activate your faith.  

It is important now for each of you, if you are willing to take upon His
cross, as you say, and to heal your world.  But you must understand the
depth of human sorrow so that you can effectively administer to it, and
help people to find the way through it to the love, to the understanding,
to the mercy that they so crave in their souls, and hunger for in their
hearts.  Is this challenging work?  Yes, without a doubt!  But you are
not alone; have not we been here to guide you, and to nudge you along
this path?  And you have the very presence of the Father, of Jesus, of
Mother within you to guide you and to foster this potential within you. 
Do you dare to challenge the faith within you to capture your imagination
and your spirit and let your soul soar, let your light shine, let your
heart open wide to the greatness of this love within you?  Are you up to
this, my friend?  

Student:  Well, perhaps we need a lesson on discipline; at least one of
us does.  That seems to be an aspect; is a weakness to just watch TV or
get lazy or fall back into old thought patterns, various hindrances.  

Welmek:  I would say that if you are willing to walk in this faith more
steadfastly, then all you need to do is to ask your Spirit to challenge
you now, and you will feel yourself being, well shall I say, pulled up
from your couch of complacency and moved into a dynamic of living that
actually stimulates your appetite for more growth opportunities and
challenges.  If you would like this, then you only need to go within and
ask your spirit to activate your faith more, and you will be giving many
opportunities.  Will you be comfortable on your couch, watching
television when you have the faith-lure moving you along?  There will be
a time when you need to replenish your spirit; this is true.  And then it
is time to rest and re-nourish your body with sleep, proper diet,
exercise, and rest.  But once you activate your faith by asking your
spirit to do this for you, once you make that conscious decision there is
no turning back.  And whether you realize it, you are moving forward even
though you feel those times of spiritual indolence.  Recognize them for
what they are, and allow your spirit to continue to move you forward by
saying, “I am feeling a little bit lazy today, and I ask for an
opportunity for stimulating spiritual growth”.  And then see what
happens!  Do you understand my meaning?  (Thank you.)  Do you need
further motivation on this point?  

Student:  Well, I hope not?  I’m not sure?  But I certainly have enough
to absorb and powerful tools.  

Welmek:  Is there anyone else who would like to share at this evening?  

Student:  Welmek, I feel that I have a good motivation but I just need
further instruction.  Maybe what my natural, what my abilities or my
genetic limitations might be or what is the next best thing to work on,
whether it is to pray for Jesus’ mind or more skills or a little more
training.  But I feel very lucky that I’ve learned this much about the
universe and God’s plan, but I feel that I should ask for maybe guidance?
 

Welmek:  You are being guided.  You are being nurtured, and you have been
given many opportunities for service and ministry, have you not, to
others?  (Yes, I have.)  I would only add tonight that you continue your
practice of asking for the mind of the Master to become your mind.  This
in and of itself is a noteworthy and lifelong exercise of exchanging your
mind until you feel the seamless fluidity in your thinking that affords
you this incredible sense of communion with Jesus, so that His words are
the words that flow effortlessly from your lips, and His love is the love
that penetrates from your heart into the person you are ministering to.  

When you ask for this, and you are given an opportunity to share your
love, to share the Masters’ wisdom with another person, I encourage you
to spend some time in sensing within you what does this feel like?  What
does the Spirit presence in me now reveal within my body and in my mind? 
And let each fiber of your being reasonate with that to the degree that
you become the living ministry of the love of Jesus.  

I sense within you that you are beginning to do this more, and the ideas
are coming more into your mind, but it is also important to let the
awareness come into your body, and to permeate each fiber, each cell, so
that you are not only communicating with your words, but your very being
becomes this highly magnetized presence that draws these individuals into
the bosom of Jesus.  For have we not said that it is not so much the
words that you speak, but it is the fragrance of your spirit that
attracts other people to you.  And this is not conveyed with words; it is
conveyed with your spirit.  And for you to feel this essence now will
help you to remember what it feels like when you are using the mind of
the Master.  Do you understand?  (Yes I do, and I value that very much!) 
 

In your stillness practice, I encourage you to spend time, not so much
with words in your mind, but feelings of your heart, and letting the
essence of the Master overtake your being – that you are feeling this
presence within you – luxuriating in it.  And let it conform all around
yourself and create a more magnetizing presence within you.  Spend time
each day, and if you can, several times a day in practicing this, so that
when you are in ministry you will know when you are in that flow, and you
will develop it to become an automatic response.  Does this help?  

Student:  Yes, it does.  And I feel that it’s been my goal in life. It’s
very pleasing to hear these aligning phrases and be able to maybe,
re-read them, I believe?  

Student:  Why is it so hard?  I’m just whining again.  It sounds like the
most desirable, easy thing in the world.  We seem to get in our own way,
I guess?  

Welmek:  What would you say still prevents you from breathing in the
essence of Jesus and the Father and our Mother?  Where do you sense this
tension within your being that may inhibit this essence from fully
overtaking your heart and mind?  

Student:  It’s often the restless thoughts, and tension in the forehead
and shoulders and etceteras; physical symptoms – feelings.  

Welmek:  When you sense this tension, allow yourself to breathe into it,
and just inviting your parents into your being and saying, “Your will be
done.  It is my will that your will be done in me.”  Is this something
that appeals to you now?  (Yes, very much.  That’s very beautiful –
elegant.)  

You do not need to resist or fight the tension within you.  It is all a
part of your mental thought-streams that are not yet in alignment.  And
so when you invite their presence in and ask for their way in you to
become manifest, you are allowing that tension to gradually dissipate. 
And you will sense that it shifts and moves in different places in your
body.  And all you need to do is to breathe, and then to invite them to
align wherever that tension is within you and make you more lovely in
their image.  

The simplicity of this does not necessarily mean that you will always
remember to do this, for it is a constant repetition of asking for your
will to be transformed to God’s way.  For the more you can just relax and
breathe and invite their will to become more real in you I think you will
find it a little easier to stay on track.  

Student:  I suppose feelings may still arise like, fear or different old
enemies?  (Yes.)  They seem to dissolve at some point?

Welmek:  Yes.  But if you just ask them to have Their way in you, and not
worry about where this is coming from, or how much fear do I still have
left in me, and just allow yourself to be with it while they are working
within you, you will find that you have more incentive to trust.  And
then, as you go through your daily life and you feel this exchange coming
in of Their presence and Their will for yours, you may find that in time
how faith-fulfilling this is for you.  Make this easy on yourself.  Let
the essence of who you are and who you are becoming be a gradual and
enjoyable undertaking.   (Ye-ha! Thank you.)  

The walk of faith is the walk toward eternity – the walk toward God – the
walk toward the perfect love, perfect alignment, and perfect melding of
your will with God’s will for you.  Each day, as you live your life,
think about the steps that you are taking in faith.  Think about how it
is that God works within you – that God is working within you.  And sink
back, if you will, into the loving arms that are always holding you as
are being gradually propelled forward.  In spending time in stillness,
ask to feel these arms embracing you more fully.  Ask to feel the
strength and protection that you need to go about your daily tasks, no
matter how difficult they may seem.  

Over these last several weeks, we have had many exercises for you to use
these tools, and I encourage you to study and spend time in these
exercises that you read in your transcripts.  And do not just read them
once, but read them many times, and let them become a part of your daily
habits.  For as we said, the process in and of itself is simple, but you
must spend time in repeating this over and over from different
standpoints.  And you have been given many assists along the way to do
this.  

I will pause now and entertain your questions on this  walk of faith or
on any other questions that you may have this evening.  

Student:  I would like to know what my primary focus should be?  

Welmek:  I would recommend that you your primary focus be that of
allowing the Fathers’ love to flow through you, and to let it overtake
your being so that you can share this love with others, in loving
service, so that you complete this circuit that you are living in in
receiving the love of the Father, in loving others, and in letting others
receive that love from the Father.  You have been giving many insights,
many ideas to consider over these weeks of your spiritual instruction
with me.  When you spend time in the stillness, open your heart and just
ask the Father to lavish His love within you.  

In time, all of the manifestations of the Spirit working within you will
harmonize.  It is important to keep your process simple so that you do
not diffuse your intention in too many areas.  In your stillness
practice, ask to receive the love from God.  Spend time each day in
loving others.  It is this simple.  Do you understand?  (Yes!  Yes I do! 
Thank you!)  

I would like to lead you in an exercise, if you are all willing?  (Yes we
are.  Yes!)

Join hands.  (All join hands.)   In your mind’s eye, I want you to
visualize the presence of Jesus in the very center of this room – in the
center of your circle. His presence is here!  Call into it; speak into it
and ask for His love to penetrate your heart.  (Pause.)  

Now when you have felt this love in your heart, let it overtake your
being, let it fill you up, so that it is not only in your heart, but all
around you, in you, outside of you.  Just let your body take it all in. 
There is enough to go around, and more.  (Pause.)  

Now in your mind’s eye, just take this feeling and just send it to the
person to your left.  (Pause.)  And then bring it back to your heart’s
center.  Bring it back into your heart and let Jesus to continue to
permeate your heart with His love.  (Pause.)

And now send this love to the person to the right of you.  (Pause.)  And
bring it back to the center, and ask for more love to permeate your very
core.  (Pause.)

As I leave you tonight, spend a few moments before you begin to speak
with one another in just letting this presence of Jesus fill you –
saturate you, and leave an indelible impression on your minds, in your
heart, and deeply within your soul.  Good evening!
