A Call to Spiritual Discernment
by Reniyah Wolf

March, 2005

This is the article I never thought I would write. Since 2002, I have
gradually withdrawn from internet discussion forums and the mainstream
Lightworker community, as a part of my work with Lord Metatron. I did
so with the assumption that we were all more or less on the same page
about the work at hand with the planetary ascension, although we have
our varied paths and mission assignments. Through communicating, and
working with quite a large number of Lightworkers over the past year
and a half, I have made some interesting observations. I have also
concluded that my assumption was incorrect.

The concept of personal ascension, of raising one's frequency in all
of the bodies in order to be a Master/Divine Human, and thus assist in
raising the planetary frequency seems to be one that is completely
foreign to quite a lot of people. Somewhere, the need to do one's
personal ego work and overcome fear seems to have largely gotten lost
in a maze of belief systems and special agendas. People seem to
believe and propagate a large variety of questionable information that
comes through the immense number of channelings circulating the
internet. I see people desperately looking for someone to lead them,
someone to give their power over to, someone to tell them what to
believe and what to do, someone to trust. I see others clearly most
willing to take the power of those so willing to give it. People are
off in the ethers, having completely forsaken Assignment Earth, 3d
lives in various degrees of shambles while waiting to go "Home". I see
the Dark T-shirt fellows that everyone is watching over their
shoulders for clearly in our midst. They cloak their lower frequencies
in words of seeming lIght, appealing to peoples' sense of hopelessness
and fatigue about the planetary ascension.

The mission assignment was clear and simple, given in some of the very
important books of the 90's, Bringers of the Dawn by Barbara
Marciniak, The Pleaidian Agenda by Barbara Hand Clow, Kryon, The End
Times, ET 101 by Diana Luppi. We were to transmute the dysfunctional
karmic patterns of planet Earth by incarnating here and living those
dysfunctional patterns. We were to awaken at the proper time, and
reclaim our Mastery by transmuting all the lower frequency energies
within our own being and becoming the frequency of Love while still in
embodied form. When 144,000 or so of us had done so, the collective
consciousness and planet Earth would also transcend into a higher
frequency band. The key to the process has always been "raise the
frequency" individually and collectively. It has never been about
anything else. All belief systems, special interests and agendas
belong to the lower frequency bands of fear.

The key to raising frequency within one's own self, and attaining
Mastery/Divine Humanity is to take back the power. There is no truth
outside of yourself. No one has any more of it than you can get for
your own self, discern within your own heart. There may be those
sources outside of yourself that can assist you in discovering your
truth within. That should be their only purpose, to lead you to a
place of personal power. Their purpose is not to take your power by
providing the "right truth" or "a nice truth" for you to believe in,
or a guru/master to follow. On that basis, I share with you some of my
personal guidelines for spiritual discernment in navigating the vast
amount of information and promotion that is out there. These
guidelines are "my truth" and do not have to be yours. It is my intent
to put my truth out here, in hopes that some of you will resonate and
find clarity. The planetary ascension will not happen without each one
of us "raising our frequency". We are not doing that by giving our
power away.

*Channelings*

The floodgates are open, many of us are like short wave radios, and
everyone in the cosmos, White and Dark T-shirts both are on the line
transmitting. We are glutted with channelings. How do we know what to
pay attention to? How do we know who or what we ourselves are
channeling? Channeling is NOT Holy Writ. It serves one well to read
with discernment, as one would from any human source. The following
guidelines could also apply to information from human sources, as well.

The obvious, as stated by Kryon and others, is "how does it feel?"
What emotion do you experience upon reading it, or channeling it
yourself? Does it feel warm-fuzzy, light, comfortable, inspiring? Or
does it make you feel confused, uncertain, do you have to "think"
about the contents of the message?

Is this channeling coming from a place of duality? Is it discussing
the "bad guys" and judging events of our world as bad-wrong-evil?
Channelings from the higher Realms of Light are not given in terms of
duality and judgment.

Is this channeling giving a lot of detailed analyses and predictions
about the affairs of earth, such as politics, governments, economics,
prominent personalities? This is a no-interference zone. Channelings
from the higher Realms of Light will generally not discuss our earthly
affairs in such detail. The nature of time and events is always
changing, and those from the higher Realms of Light will not "predict"
specific events and timelines.

Does this channeling tell you that you need to be afraid of something,
that there is a chance you could fail, or not be worthy? That bad
times are coming? Channelings from the Higher Realms of Light do not
elicit fear.

Does this channeling come from a place of "we out here in the cosmos
are bestowing such great gifts and blessings on you humans, you should
be eternally grateful"? This planetary ascension is a co-creative
process. The gifts and blessings being given are because we also have
done our part to co-create them. We are in allowance and we are ready
for them. None are bestowed out of mercy. This is a plane of duality
and karma and we must transmute that karma. Channelings from the
higher Realms of Light will acknowledge this co-creatorship and do not
come from a place of condescension. A channeling from the higher
Realms of Light will cause you to feel loved, valued and equal.

Is this channeling complex or confusing? "Truth" is actually simple,
and those from the higher Realms of Light will want you to understand it.

Does this channeling ask you to place power outside of yourself by
promising you some kind or miracle, deliverance from above that is
going to save you from your miserable earth life? Sorry, it does not
happen that way. We must transmute our individual and collective karma
and create our own miracles. We cannot have what we are not in
allowance and Divine receptivity of. Channelings from the higher
Realms of Light will acknowledge that. Channelings which make promises
for deliverance are ill-disguised attempts to take your power.

Does this channeling (or source of) give you orders, tell you that you
must do specific things, that you must support a particular agenda?
Does it tell you that someone or something is better, purer, more
needed by you than something else? No Being of Higher Light would
violate your free will, nor do they have specific agendas.

*People, Groups, Services*

There are a LOT of people promoting all manner of New Age classes,
services, agendas - many of them capitalizing on an expanding market,
offering not much of value to anyone. How do you know who's legitimate?

Is this person or group claiming to have something you cannot get
elsewhere, attain any other way, secret doctrines or teachings that
are not available anywhere else, the "real" truth? No one has the
"real" truth, "all" of the truth, or a "monopoly on truth". A person
or group acting in high integrity will tell you that. To do otherwise
is to take your power, purely and simply.

Does this person keep reminding you that he/she is a Master, is among
the most enlightened on the planet, is an embodiment of "name your
cosmic being", has the endorsement of 15 or so Ascended Masters and
Archangels? In my world, a Master will be known by his/her energy of
Love and will need to say very little about it. He/she will not need
to be listing cosmic pedigrees. True masters have always been known as
very humble people. The most obvious sign of their mastery has been
"how they live". These times are no exception. While yes, I suppose
there are embodiments of various of the Higher Beings here on planet
Earth right now, somehow I don't suspect they would use public
announcement and promotion of that fact to draw people to them. We are
ALL aspects of the One, so does it matter? Again, how does this
person's energy make you FEEL? Anyone can tack a few cosmic names onto
his/her resume. A true master has no desire to present self as superior.

Is this person or group criticizing and attacking others, while
claiming to serve the Light? Does this person or group walk the talk?
Attack, criticism, blame, victimhood, are firmly based in the energies
of duality and fear. Those who attack and criticize are feeding the
Dark T-shirt fellows a gourmet meal. What is the group as a whole
doing, aside from the leadership? What is the frequency level? How are
people treating one another? What is being discussed? Is it gossip and
drama? This person or group will not likely have anything to offer
individual Divine unfoldment except by way of showing "who you are not".

Is this person or group advocating the use of drugs to facilitate the
spiritual process? Yes, there may be an occasional time and place
where one might choose to make use of a natural substance to enhance
perception and awareness. I feel that any person or group that
advocates continuous and/or extensive drug use, that glamorizes drug
use as a means to attain enlightenment, is quite clearly on the Dark
T-shirt side and is working to disempower. When one is dependent upon
a drug to attain spiritual awareness and higher states of
consciousness, one is completely disempowered. All states of higher
awareness are available without drugs by doing one's personal work to
raise one's own frequency in all of the bodies.

Does this person or group have an agenda, try to get you to assume
certain viewpoints, back certain people/groups and oppose others? Is
this person or group trying to draw you away from another? Is this
person or group trying to manipulate you in any way, draw you into the
fold or back to the fold with enticements, promises or perhaps even
threats, however subtle? Dictate any aspects of your personal life?
Any person or group in high integrity will fully acknowledge free will
and choice, and will not attempt to manipulate or control anyone.

Is this person or group's information/offering clear and
understandable? Are you reasonably clear what you are signing up for,
how long it will take, what the process is, what the cost is, what
you're getting involved with? Do you get clear answers to your
questions or are the answers evasive and vague? Is the premise
confusing? Is the person or group trying to make self right and others
wrong? A person or group in high integrity will be open, and "lay the
cards on the table" without hidden agendas.

What is the Integrity Level in general of this person or group? Have
you been told a lie or "not-all-of-the-truth"? Have agreements been
kept? Are there secrets you can't be told? Does the person or group
advocate disrespecting laws or boundaries of others based on some
perceived Divine Ordination? Does this person or group engage in even
"slightly" illegal or unethical activities, such as violating
copyrights, pirating software copies, taking advantage of ways to
obtain something for nothing? Would you trust him/her/it with your
wallet, your car, your spouse? What do you FEEL behind the words? If
you would not trust them with your possessions and loved ones, then
don't trust them with your spiritual path.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Instantaneous and
miraculous transformations, while not impossible, are not the norm.
Those in high integrity will not promise them or try to sell them to
you. Neither will they take all the credit, as they will know that the
recipient must be in allowance and Divine receptivity for the healing
or transformation to occur. No one can do anything "for" you without
your own co-creatorship.

Beloved Brothers and Sisters in the Light, there is only one agenda,
and it is yours. Take back your power. Do your personal work in all of
your bodies, not just the spiritual body, overcome fear, embrace Love,
honor your own Humanity, and in so doing co-create your own Divinity.
You do not need to look outside of your own self to accomplish this.
If you choose to seek others to help you facilitate your ascension,
don't give them your power. You ARE the Ascension, each and every one
of you. Our collective power to transform planet Earth lies within our
ability to transform ourselves, our own selves, and not everyone else.
No belief system, no truth outside ourselves is going to co-create
this planetary ascension. Our collective truth is simply The Frequency
of Love. We all must attain it, should we wish to fully complete the
assignment here on Earth. The time is NOW to look within, to practice
your discernment, to use your higher guidance, stop playing into the
hands of those who would stop us. You have free will and choice, each
one of you who reads this article. I cannot force you to discern. I
will not tell you specifically who to be discerning of. The guidelines
presented herewith are mine, and you do not have to agree with them.
PLEASE wake up and pay attention, though. A large number of us are
clearly being sold down the river, and willingly at that.
