Illawarra District, Australia, August 8,
2007.
Teachers Samuel and Aaron.
Received by George Barnard.
Samuel: “Greetings. There are quite a number of observers
here where I am, as well as ‘down below’ surrounding you.
Your dear friend, Teacher Aaron, is here also, and he too sends his
greetings to all. We have prepared for you a lesson that has been covered
on a previous occasion, although only briefly at the time. The lesson
deals with criticism that is deserved or undeserved, and likewise it
deals with praise that may be deserved, or be rather undeserved.
“Let us first deal with praise. When you set about a task, and
you set about it in a fashion in which you fully use your gifts -- all
the ability that is there at your disposal -- you are quite deserving
of praise. It could well be an embarrassment for you if you were not
to use your gifts to the greatest of your ability, and still receive
such praise. It could likewise, or even more, be an embarrassment to
you if you were being praised for the efforts of another. It is important
for you to firstly understand where praise is coming from, and secondly
to whom it applies. And if it applies to you, do you rightfully feel
deserving of same?
“In the same way, criticism that comes your way must also be analyzed,
must be thought through; must be worked out. Are you being criticized
because the person criticizing you is unaware of the possible gifts
that you may have as a lightworker? Are you being criticized for the
perceived mistakes of another? Most importantly, does the criticism
actually hurt you, because deep down in your thoughts -- deep down in
your subconscious mind -- there is this tiny little bit of doubt that
perhaps, at some time in the past, you did get to badly misunderstand
your Teacher’s lesson? You got to slightly misinterpret your Teacher’s
lessons? You got to note something that was almost precisely on the
mark, but not quite?
“It can be so very difficult to grasp, to understand, to clearly
identify, these circumstances that may make you want to move away from,
want to peel away from, the efforts that you have so long been engaged
in. Do bear in mind that there is always a possibility that you can
get a little something wrong, somewhere along the way, and learn to
forgive yourself, so that the sharp criticisms coming from the unthinking
have no impact on your work whatever.
“This is Samuel here with Aaron. Together we worked on these thoughts
for you. We greet you. Until we meet up again.”
George: “Thank you both.”
