true meaning of turning the other cheek

1) Surely the prognosis of peace can be seen in the need to wage peace rather than to wage war.  This my son sought to convey to those around him and they in turn, in fulfilling the divine beatitude “Blessed are the peacemakers:  for they shall be called the children of God” throughout all ages have obeyed His commandment based on karmic law “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart...and thy neighbor as thyself.”

-Archeia Mary, Pearl 11:9 …………………...........................  2) Won’t you then this Christmastide
As you keep the flame merry
With angels come from far and wide
light the candle of the bayberry
And then from its taper burn
This incense which we have also used in turn
Wherever we have been called to the fore
To consume the record cause and core
Of mankind’s entities of insanity
And to bind the demons of profanity
For the protection of the little ones
Gathered by the Christmas tree
Giving and receiving,
Adorning and being adorned

-Archangel Uriel, Pearl 17:41 …………….…………........................... 3) Now this is the human ego that would hold captive and prisoner the soul to a certain level of the knowns, a certain level of stability. But unknowingly it would keep the soul there and it would convince the soul that no other progress can or should be made and that its current level of attainment is sufficient unto all things. -Paul the Venetian, Pearls of Wisdom 25:59

……………………................................ 4) I celebrate the sign of that cross repeated again and again as the inner matrix of the love of the Father/Mother God, positioned as your own marker in time and space signifying the point when and where heaven and earth shall meet in thy life. For it is preordained—if thou will it so. If thou wilt fulfill the divine plan according to that will that is become thine own, then the cosmic cycle shall turn and you shall be at the point of light which I celebrate.

-Jesus Christ, Pearl 27:36 ……………………............................. 5) Likewise this is a fiat we can give before the workers of iniquity, the doers of unrighteousness, and instantly Archangel Michael, the Great White Brotherhood and your Mighty I AM Presence will flash forth their light to turn the force of evil against itself. This, Jesus tells us, is the true meaning of turning the other cheek. If you are smitten on the right cheek, turn the other and let the light of God deflect the next blow

-Messenger ECP, Pearl 28:42 …………………….......................... 6) Really what he is telling us in a kind of a tongue-in-cheek way is not to wait until we make the transition to start believing in the Masters’ manifestations. We will believe in them then because we will have very unusual experiences, but this is the time to accept them and find them perfectly natural. -Elizabeth Clare Prophet, Pearl 43:4 ……………………............................ 7) Blessed ones, the hosts of the Lord demand attention to youth that they be not lost. Hear our cry, our plea and our marching. For we can also be heard in the land and you can know the soft presence of an angelwing caressing your cheek and tenderly touching a child in tears. Blessed hearts, look up and see the numberless numbers of your intercessors. But give the word and we can release light sufficient to this victory. -Listening Angel, Pearl 30:62 …………….............................. 8) We come for the builders. I am the Divine Mother seeking those who will build My temple. Yet it is a temple not made with hands.  Yet it is an edifice of lives and an edification of the spirit. Yet it is the sword of illumination’s flame that pierces this night of Kali Yuga and in piercing it does therefore reach all those in whom lumination’s flame is burning brightly in heart and mind and soul. Seek illumined action. Turn worlds around and turn them again, I say! I am the beloved of God as ye are also. Is it not, then, a gentle presence of the Divine Mother that does bring one and all to the captivity of the Spirit of the Lord?  Is it not then a gentle path that does take you by paces and disciplined action to the unity of the One?  Beloved, it is indeed the sense of struggle that makes the struggle. It is not effortless (this path we walk together), but it is a free movement to the Sun of those who would soar with me this day. -Archeia Mary, Pearl 31:51 …………………............................................ 9) O yes, beloved, be smart, because you are smart. You are very smart. You are astute. You read people. You read this Messenger. I need not tell you anything about her because you know it. And that is why you are here. You have a sixth sense about many things. But what will give you the empowerment is your moving with the angels and setting an example of turning the other cheek—even if that cheek has been turned over and over again. Never stop!
