en left behind by the warriors, all of you. You have witnessed atrocities, and you have committed atrocities, for the sake of learning. So we ask that you suspend judgment. Let it go. That is Forgiveness.

Now my dear brother St. Germain had some beautiful words about the one called Arafat. We spoke the other night and said that yes he had passed over. He made the decision several days ago, and was in somewhat of a suspended state, which you call a coma. So while his body was here, his Spirit had left the body and was dancing.

Imagine this man, who was such a paradox. Some gave him a prize for Peace, others reviled him as evil itself. Look into your hearts, and see what you see there. This is a very good exercise for this day, this day of openings, this day of such significance upon your planet, and ask yourselves to forgive him, because he’s forgiven everyone upon the planet, where he is now. Oh I know that probably none of you, and this is perfect and fine and Divine, had thought about him forgiving you, but is that not an interesting concept.

You see when it is that you Love your brothers and sisters upon this planet so much, and the children, that you really care about them forgiving you, what happens, and we're using Forgiveness as the absence of judgment. It’s another way to say reach out heart to heart and join. When you honor the Spirit that is within, and surrounding each and every being upon this planet. When you connect, because you know you are connected, through the fields of energy that you are, and when you start thinking what would I do in the other’s shoes. What would the other one do in my shoes? And when you understand that you’ve worn all kinds of shoes-

Yes, some have been dancing shoes, shiny and bright, some have gotten pretty muddy. You’ve walked through some real garbage. Uh humm. But no matter what kind of shoes you’ve worn, and you’ve worn them all, think about that. We speak softly, and yes we welcome the man Arafat. And he is welcomed by all. He is welcomed by Archangel Michael, by Archangel Gabriel, by Master Sananda, and St. Germain, by all those whose deaths he may have caused or created or co-created. That is the more accurate word. He is welcomed by the great statesmen, the politicians, the presidents from your country. He is welcomed by Lincoln, by George Washington, by the Kennedys, and why, because somebody had to wear his shoes.

Somebody had to be of such great Spirit that they would come to Earth and play the role that he played. He was savior and hero to some. And to some he was Satan in human body, and he knew that. And the way, oh he padded his way and did the best he could to make it as comfortable for himself as he could. There was a part of him that was greedy. There was a part of him that did things that were horrible to others, but there was a part of him that loved this world enough to come and play this role, reviled as he was, hated as he was, and he came and played the role to serve. And now the Spirit that he is, and has always been is looking upon all with Love.

And that Spirit is saying get on with it. You’ve seen what hatred can do. I have shown you. You’ve seen what war can do. I’ve co-created it for you. You’ve seen what violence and killing can do. You’ve seen the innocent children screaming, because of the orders I gave, screaming and dying horrible deaths, and being hurt and homeless and hungry. You’ve seen all of the things that I helped to create upon this planet. Now get out there and do something about it. Change it! It’s time for change! And that is his legacy. That is his legacy, and it’s a legacy of Love, as surely as Mother Teresa.

And so we would ask you to consider this, and we would ask you to leave off judgment, in other words to forgive. And just like Love, we would ask you to apply this first to yourselves. You deserve it, you’ve earned it, and you’ve done a great job, and give yourselves a round of applause, and get on with the new contract, your mission, the new play, the new drama. You’ve created the script for yourselves, and it’s time.

Beautiful ones it’s time to rise to that which you came here to do. To your next step, whatever it is. Be a part of the world. Give your loving energies to it, and then do whatever else you can, whatever you see that you can do with Love, whatever you see that can bring Joy, and happiness, even if it’s to a sister, your neighbor, and you feel as though it’s not much, it’s everything. It is absolutely everything to the world, because it doesn’t stop there. It does not stop there...."
