The following is from Matthew regarding what is happening upon the earth plane at this particular time. We are hearing so many items, most of them attempting to frighten us into fear. Perhaps this will put the 'story' in a proper perspective!

From: "Jean Hudon asking Suzanne Ward" as to Matthews comments on specific articles written. From: "Suzanne Ward" Subject: Matthew's comment on the article "Everybody's Got Their Own Terrorist" posted at http://www.almartinraw.com/column42.html Date: Mon, 24 Dec 2001

"This angle on 'homeland safety' is of course as foolishly blatant as numerous other aspects of this 'Bush play' scene. There are indeed thousands of prisoners totally innocent of anything other than perhaps a name, a country of birth, perhaps a profession, who are being held without notification to family, attorney, or even an agency that has been formed to keep track of such individuals. That is, a government organization whose members often are surprised by hearing about a group of 10 here, 20 there, another small contingent elsewhere in some jail. This is *not* a unique situation in America. This has happened in previous times but not widely known -- there was no newsworthy Internet or speed of communication. So there is both positive and not positive in this situation. Truth being spread quickly is positive; *fear* resulting from the spread of even truthful information is not positive. The government is not intending to keep all of you uninformed about what is happening, because that would negate the fear factor. ALWAYS the puppet masters are aiming to create fear, so please always examine whatever you hear with that in mind when analyzing whether something is fact or contrived fiction. If it causes fear, then that is the underlying purpose of the dark forces regardless of whether authentic or false information is sent out.

"Why is it so important to avoid fear, you might ask; could not fear alert us to be ready to meet and defeat the 'enemy'? I tell you, fear *IS* the enemy! Fear is a magnified form of negative energy attachment, and it is incompatible with the light. Gather together greatly fearful people and the light cannot get near them! With the incompatiblity of these opposing forces -- which form one of Earth's polarities in this time -- and with fear holding sway, the light cannot enter and prevail to heal those suffering from the pain of fear. When the light cannot prevail, the negative forces *will*, and virtual captivity of the soul eventually happens through its lifetimes of choosing to learn but failing to overcome fear.

"Do not be alarmed at what you hear. That is, yes, these situations are not fine ones as you see individuals being deprived of basic freedoms and the dreadful concerns of their families, certainly, but this situation *is* in the light! Any time something reaches the light it can be healed! Without the light, it can be perpetuated endlessly. So, please keep to a minimum any scary presentation when reporting this, is my advice. NEVER -- capital letters on 'never,' please, Mother -- NEVER would I advise or even mention as a possibility of proper procedure that truth should be suppressed. NEVER! I am recommending non-dramatic publicizing for the ultimate result of balancing as opposed to adding fuel to both sides in the game. I am not belittling the human emotional toll by saying 'game,' because cosmically, it *is* a game that the puppet masters have devised. One side is willing, even hungry to find something -- *anything* -- negative to pin on governments, and the other side is just as eager to defend governments as benevolent, misunderstood, under-appreciated, forthright and honest. Many of these 'patriotic' people, some of them within governments, are frightened of knowing that what they have heard *'really'* is true, and thus they retreat into their cocoon of 'patriotism' and their keeping quiet is interpreted as agreement with the government stance.

"I can mention another current tactic to promote fear -- and that is precisely what it is, that's ALL it is, is a tactic to induce more fear in the planetary, large-as-life play being acted out. It is not correct that there are mass areas prepared for holding tens of thousands of United States citizens as prisoners, like readied concentration or detention camps. What *is* correct is that this word has been leaked with the intention that people who hear it can quake in their boots or their beds with alarm at what they *fear* is transpiring. Is this not a great deal easier than the actuality of rounding up all those bodies, transporting them, feeding and clothing them afterwards? FEAR is the intention, and if fear can be created easily one way and with much more inconvenience another way, who would not choose the easy route for the same results? Fear is intended to burn out Earth. For the dark forces, the death of this once-magnificently and purely arrayed planet would be a victory.

"Please remember, all of you: What can be visualized, or imagined, can be created! It is a *concept* that is first created, and when there is sufficient manifesting energy directed at the concept, it becomes 'reality.' It is given life, or 'reality,' by the numbers of people who consider it so. Do NOT give negatively-based concepts any more fuel toward 'reality' than they have, please! Withdraw the fuel of the dark forces by sending to them what is missing from their souls and causing them to behave in the ways you consider evil, something which they cannot create themselves: light. How does one do this? By allowing the judgments to fall aside and compassion to aid the understanding that the opposite of light is not darkness, but rather is the *absence of light,* and the soul in its darkly-perceived reality believes it has been abandoned by its Creator. That soul is suffering from fear, and in its frenzy to rid itself of fear, its dark nature consistently has turned to the false gods of power and money.

"Consider also the value of directing creative energy toward a concept that is in the light from the onset. Imagine a world glowing in the golden dawn of people awakened in harmony, people caring for and about each other, a world with equality in the distribution of its gifts. *Imagine* this enLIGHTened Earth of peace, abundance, love, beauty -- -- Heaven, if you will! -- and then *CREATE* it! It is easier to create beauty and harmony than to create hatred, greed, terror and dis-ease. From the beginning only love and light have been building materials for everything from a tadpole to a star, and to distort these into making products of darkness, one must seriously digress consciously from the soul-level urging to co-create within the godly provisions. Learning -- but really, remembering -- who we are and unfolding our beginnings, is the wondrous promise of the light. It is with enticements, however false, of power and glory and dominion over All that the dark forces tempt those who weaken before these dreams of control and unwittingly but in free will choosing, spiral away from the light.

"Mother, I believe that answers Jean's interest in hearing from me. Probably it exceeds it! Thank you." (Matthew)
