| A Cherished Secret of Success: Resonance By Lazaris It is always a pleasure to have the opportunity to connect with you once again. It is a joy to be with you, yes, just to be with you. We look forward to working with you, as together we unfold a most cherished secret, a beautiful secret, and a quiet secret of success resonance. When you are intensely involved in creating your own reality, and generating your success, you often overlook an immensely powerful secret in favor of the more aggressive aspects of processing and programming and the more active parts of manifesting. We put quotation marks around active because many times what your consensus reality calls active is not really consciously active at all. It is really automatic, obsessive, or even driven behavior. So sometimes you miss a cherished secret in favor of the more active parts of manifestation. As much as you say to the contrary, you truly do enjoy processing, digging in, sorting through all the stuff, separating out what is real and what's not, what is important, and what's not. It is very aggressive at times, very assertive, certainly very active. You are working with the child, working the adolescent; oh it's all very involved. And you truly do enjoy or feel the necessity and the attraction for such active processing. We would not diminish it or your enjoyment of it. Then comes the programming after your processing; there can be great enjoyment in the ritual and rigors of programming. There is a myriad of techniques that you use with intensity; and they work, metaphysics works! You embellish your working techniques beautifully with imagination. No matter how vividly or vaguely you visualize, you enhance your programming with your personal depth of imagination. It is invigorating; it is powerful and empowering. Finally come the stages of manifesting when that processing and programming have come to fore and voila! There it comes; pieces of success and bigger pieces! Oh yes, it's very exciting and very engaging, that is true. And when you are in the midst of all of that, when you are in the midst of a surge of success, when the manifestations start coming one and then another faster and faster, or several or few at a time in the midst of that surge of success when you are, as you say, on a roll, it is very tempting to keep surging, to keep rolling. Enthused and invigorated with the exciting momentum of the moment, it is tempting to ignore a most cherished secret. Well, as you also know, your success is not always surging; it is not always rolling. Certainly you will come to realize that success, like everything else, has its cyclical energy of ebbing and flowing, of waxing and waning. Success is alive; it breathes. Success is never constant or as continuous as it might be, it is never constant. Success, with its wax and wane, with its ebb and flow, breathes. When that success is ebbing and flowing in the other direction, when it seems to be waning far more than waxing, the surge of success all of a sudden becomes an urge for success; any success. Sometimes it feels like I'll take anything. There is such a pressure at those times to dig in, you know? To dig in and try harder, to grit your teeth. Now, please do not misunderstand us here. There is value, certainly so, in the admonishment and there is value in the discipline, up to a point. But there is such a pressure to dig in and try harder. To push, push, push. That pressure often translates into punishment. Calling it admonishment or discipline does not make it so; by whatever name, it is often punishment. There is such a pressure to make it happen, to make it happen now, that often when you are in these doldrums, in the inertia, or the sludge of a success that just is not happening, cherished secrets are the farthest things from your thoughts and feelings. Yet it is the cherished secret of resonance, the touch and the touching of the essence of success that in fact can maintain the surges of success when they are there and can shift those urges for success, any success, into manifestation. It is resonance that so often turns the ebbs and flows, the waxes and wanes, into the powerful manifestation that you desire, you imagine and seek. Likewise, once you are successful, really feeling successful, knowing that it is truly yours and not just that it's out there and might be yours someday, you often forget the quiet glue that holds success together. You have all had that wonderful feeling when success is yours. Often you forget resonance, that quiet glue that holds your success together. Resonance. More than holding it together, resonance can actually augment that success. You forget the quiet glue and silent augmentation of resonance. Resonance: The law of resonance says that when two sources of energy are vibrating at different frequencies, in time they will vibrate at the same frequency. Either the higher frequency will lower, or the lower frequency will rise, or both frequencies will change, meeting somewhere in between. We have said that often. (There is a recording of an evening discussion all about resonance [Healing Ourselves and Our World with Resonance]. You might even have some notes somewhere.) But you see, when you are on that roll, when the success is surging or even when it seems to be the farthest thing from your reality, it is so easy to forget that everything is a frequency of vibration and a function of resonance. It is easy to forget and let the illusion become too real. We do understand. In the harsh or frightening aspect of your illusion, it is easy to forget that success is more than its trappings, more than the stuff that is its illusion. Success is energy drawn into formation by the resonance of success. Success is energy in formation in formation. Success is energy. It is an essence that is a frequency of vibration different from yours. Remember this: In time, those frequencies, success and yours, are going to be the same. Either success is going to come down to your level or you are going to rise to its level. Or you and success are going to meet somewhere in between. If you can tap the resonance of success, the quiet resonance that is the glue and augmentation of success, then the variety of processes and the various programs you do can be more powerful. They can be profound. The manifestations that reflect and express in your illusion and in your reality can come so much more readily and easily and, most importantly, so much more successfully. Before you jump in with both feet, aggressive and assertive, active in the processing, programming and manifesting, stop and become still. Stop and become quiet. Enter a hush. Pause; it is your right, part of what it means to be free. It is your freedom. Pause, and in that pause, reflect; let your frequency be lifted into that essence of success. In the pause, ponder and let yourself touch the wonder of success; let the wonder of success touch you. If you will allow this pause to touch and be touched, if you will allow yourself to tap and touch the resonance of success, all that fun of processing and programming, all that enjoyment of consciously creating and manifesting your reality can come so much more elegantly. Yes, with elegance and with an excellence. That is the nature of resonance. That is the nature of the cherished secret of success. Similarly, when your success seems to be at low tide when that ebbing and flowing is just not happening your way or when the waning is so much more than any of the waxing rather than digging in with a fervor, rather than harshly admonishing and disciplining yourself, take the time to pause. Take the time to enter a hush so that you might feel the resonance. If you will pause, as we suggest, you can create a suspended moment that can be eternal. You can create a transcendent moment and in that moment you can lift out, you can be lifted out. You can transcend. That suspended moment that can be eternal is a moment pregnant with love and power; it is a moment fraught with meaning and significance. In that moment, allow the resonance of success. Let it seduce you. Let it pull and lift you into the essence of success itself. There are no words. Where the resonance can take you is a place and a space where words cannot go. There are no words, but there can be changing and healing. Once lifted, once touched, you can allow the changing and healing. And then you can come back out of that pause and turn that otherwise errant ebb and flow around. You can change direction. You can shift energy into a new formation into new information. Success can surge and things can start coming in. It might happen slowly at first. Once you get used to it, though, you can allow success to flow much more rapidly. That urge can once again become a surge of success. So often we have talked about success and what it really is. We have talked about the various essences that comprise success; that actually makes success, success. The essences are, in fact, far more important than the literal things, the stuff or trappings that follow true success. Yes, all the things, stuff and trappings will follow genuine success. Success replete with its essence with little or no effort at all. You see, the stuff of success does not come first. First comes the essence; first comes the resonance. Then the stuff follows; the trappings come your way. They can't not. Now, there are those who can create the stuff and trappings, but they never really feel successful, do they? Creating the stuff of success without really feeling success, doing success without really being successful, can be more crazy-making, more maddening and more frightening than not having it at all. You know that. Now, the trappings and the stuff are important, please do not misunderstand us; we know there are those out there in the metaphysical field who claim, Hah, you should abandon all the trappings and all the stuff of success. That will prove how dedicated No. You know you are wiser than that. You are far past that simplistic point of view. The trappings and the stuff are important; they are benchmarks. They are feedback mechanisms. They show you how you are doing in your physical world, but you see they are still illusion. The trappings vary with each person. Who is to say how much money is success, right? How many things, how many cars, how much of the stuff; where is the line? Now, we know in a chauvinistic society that many want to make that absolute, but you know and we know it is not absolute. The trappings vary with each person. And they also vary at each phase of your life. At certain later stages in your life the trappings of success are going to be totally different from trappings you now have. But you see there is an energy, an essence of success, that is present in every person who has ever been successful that far outweighs and supersedes any of the trappings or stuff. The essence is there for a six-year-old's success and a twenty-six-year-old's success and an eighty-six-year-old's success. The essence is there regardless of what the trappings are. And the essence in many ways is the same in each person regardless of who they are. It is this essence that will allow the assertive, aggressive activities of the surge and roll of success to continue. This essence or resonance of success can allow extending and expanding, can allow moving and shifting of the wax and wane, of the ebb and flow. The essence; the resonance, can allow those successes that seem so distant to return with a beauty and power that they might not otherwise have had. They can return filled with wonder and can become even greater successes than they would have been. Resonance can undo limitation. There need be no limitation. So much can be accomplished with this energy that is essence, that is resonance. This energy generates success. It sustains success. It expands and maintains the success; it augments it. It is the glue, the quiet glue that holds it all together. We want to connect with you at this time to help you experience this cherished, beautiful, quiet secret. There are no specific techniques just yet. We just want to help you work with this resonance. We just want to help you unfold a cherished secret of success. We just want to be with you and to remind you. You see your Higher Self has led you and nudged you to read these words at this particular time because they want you to remember as well. If you are in the time of surge or on a roll when all your programming and processing seems to be coming together and you are manifesting little pieces, big pieces, left and right in your reality, your Higher Self wants you to take a moment in all that seductive activity. During all that assertive and aggressive activity take a moment for the quiet glue, that quiet secret of resonance, so that this surge, with it is own particular ebb and flow, can continue so that you can stay on the roll. If, instead, success seems to be very far from you and is just not happening right now, your Higher Self wants you to remember, too. Your Higher Self wants you to take some time. Rather than dig in and try harder, to push and push and push, turn the energy around by getting in touch with the resonance. As you are in the midst right now of being wonderfully successful, your Higher Self wants you to listen to your reality and tap into and hold on to the resonance that holds your success together. Allow it to augment, to become even more, so that the trappings that you want can, in fact, be yours. They can follow your resonance of success. Then your success can be real, solid, genuine, and rewarding. The idea here is to read the words of the meditation that conclude this article over and over. First, read for content. Then read for that which lies beyond content. Ponder the words that jump out at you; wonder about the ideas that do not quite make sense or even confuse you. Read it quickly sometimes; read it very slowly at other times. Follow your instinct; follow your intuition. Sometimes when you need to read these words, do so. Sometimes when you just feel like reading them, do so. Trust yourself, because when it is right or seems right by your assessment and your feeling, the resonance can be there. It can work for you. You can touch and be touched. Out of it you can change and your reality can change. The urge will guide you. You will know when it is important, for whatever reason, to stop, to read, to remember, and to receive. We love you. Know that you are loved. Following are the words to read. They begin with an underlying truth. They begin with a truth that is at the core of your being. Then the words expand into a meditation. We love you. Welcome to the cherished secret of success, welcome to the resonance of success. (You might want to play your favorite meditative music as you read and listen.) UNDERLYING TRUTH: Within the recesses of your Soul, beyond the several faces, beyond the personified whole, there is a hush; there is a quiet more still than silence. It is there, beyond seeing and hearing, that all your dreams and visions are born. It is there that all your emptiness can be filled. It is there that wonder waits to open your heart and mind to the profound truths of your goodness, to beauty and to the majestic glory of your love and caring. When you are filled and spilling over with happiness and joy, with enthusiasm and passion, surrender to the hush; surrender to the quiet. With will and imagination your Soul can take you there. When you are snared and entangled in the patterns of your fear, feeling so lost and alone, so threatened and in jeopardy, lift to the hush; lift to the quiet. With resolve and remembering the love, your Soul can take you there. Receive the truths of your goodness and beauty; receive the glory of your love and caring. Let wonder work its wonder. Lazaris We welcome you to a quiet time, to a cherished time, to a beautiful time of stillness, of solitude, and as you are listening, and your eyes gently close or shift focus, know that we love you dear one, we love you. And now that you are listening, know that it is time to stop, to be still, to listen, and to remember. It is time to receive. So just be still and allow us and your Higher Self to work with you in the words, between the words, behind them; in the music, between the notes and behind the notes. Relax now, be still now, and remember now. It is a law, this thing called resonance. It is not a hope or a maybe so, or could-be. It is a law. Success has its own resonance, and if you will allow yourself to be pulled into it, to be seduced, that very resonance can hold the roll and the surge, with its ebb and flow and its wax and wane. That very resonance can turn the energies around when it feels like an avalanche, or the doldrums, or the inertia. That very resonance can bring the fulfillment that your success is all about. Success is access to resources; to the physical resources of your reality, to the emotional and mental resources, to the esoteric and etheric resources of your world. Having access. Intimacy, closeness, vulnerability, tenderness, trust. Intimacy with the stuff, with your beliefs and choices, with your attitudes and decisions, with your thoughts and feelings. To be vulnerable with them, to trust them. With your imagination coming alive more and more. With your desires, with your passions. With your expectations and your dreams. Let it in. Knowing the wonder: not just having fun and happiness, (certainly the trappings of success can bring that) it is knowing the wonder of fun and the wonder of happiness. It is knowing the wonder of power with responsibility. Let us touch you. Just imagine, just pretend. And with the light that we are, the myriad of particles of love and light, the myriad of waves of love and light, let us touch you ever so gently. Let us fill you. Let us fill you. Intimacy with your strength, with your talent, with that gift, or series of gifts, from the Goddess herself, an intimacy with your strength and with your talent. That is success as well. Access to your spirituality: to the relationship with your Higher Self, with your soul, with your spirit. Access to God/Goddess/All That Is, to the relationship you have. No, it's not perfect. No, it's not all that it ever will be, but you do have a relationship. It is beautiful, and getting more beautiful. It is rich and getting richer. Success is that access to resources, to spirituality, an intimacy with the stuff, and with the strength, and with the talent. Knowing the wonder of happiness and of fun, and of power with responsibility. Feeling deserving. Deserving. Lifting, lifting to the resonance, the essence of success. Let it in. Receive. You can relax now, be still now, and be in the solitude. Feel the resonance. Let it work its magic. Allow your Higher Self to work its magic as with you we will work our magic. We love you. You matter to us, yes you do. You are important. As long as there is light, and the light will be forever, we shall love you. Forever and a day. With love, oh yes, with love and peace.
