Crystal Clear Clarity
By Cheryl F. Batoon
As I ride the waves of the sea
I remember those foggy days…
When I felt as if I was drowning in the murky waters
I couldn’t swim fast enough
The shore was always out of reach
I never felt good enough or complete…
As my spirit renewed its energy
As I experienced life based on my writings
I realized the script was written long ago
I realized that life is an illusion…
I knew it all along,
But it was easier to be deluded…
As time begins to speed up
As it reaches its climax
I have finally found my sword of lineation…
I rediscovered my passions;
I know what makes me feel happiest
I am triumphant in my wisdom now
I am a seeker of passion
I am a lover of life
I see with crystal clear clarity
I have traveled many lives
I have sought many experiences
Yet each time I return to where I began
To return to whom I AM
We are truly the I AM
Reaching for the stars with crystal clear clarity
As you advance your passions
As you are expressing your authenticity
You will see the world glowing with love
As you release the past that no longer serves,
As you seal the wounds once and for all
A bright shining new day illuminates
As you open your heart and your eyes
When you allow yourself to be free
All the beauty of life will enfold itself upon you
When the seasons change
When time no longer feels the same
You will remember this moment with crystal clear clarity…

What are you passionate about?
Today I awoke with the thoughts of passion. What are we all passionate about? What makes us happy…so happy, that we would jump up first thing in the morning to embrace it? What fills our hearts with such joy that we are giggly, we are in a consistent state of happiness, we are floating on air because life is so sweet, and we are feeling our Heaven on Earth?
The answer for me is my Passion. I love getting up in the morning to write. I love interacting and sharing inspirational thoughts with others. I love spending time with like-minded, like-hearted people…because they keep me on a positive tip. When I go to sleep at night, I am filled with great joy because I know that the following day it will all begin again for me.
I thank God for the ability to write and communicate. I thank God for inspiring me to begin to write and to keep me cracking. Yes, communication is my passion and yes, this will be a passion of mine forever…I just feel that somehow…
So what is your passion? What is it that you have always wanted to do, but said you couldn’t afford to do it or it won’t pay the bills? What is it that you once dreamed of doing, but now feel you are too old, too settled in your life, and even thinking what else is there, but what you are doing? Please think again because doing what you passionately love is what life is all about. Please take a moment to think on this if you can.
Sending blessings and love to you all as you rediscover your passions and frolic in the fountain of life…

Today, I was inspired to write about Unconditional Love and Sex. In my life experiences, I have found that Sex without Love is empty and unfulfilling. Yes, Sex is wonderful in the moment and the fun, laughter, and joy may carry on until tomorrow or the next week or even months, but what ultimately happens is that it becomes less joyful, less fun, and not much laughter. Eventually, it fades away…
Sex with Love, but with conditions, may last for days, weeks, months, or even years, but your soul is unfulfilled for each day is lived with extreme highs and extreme lows…moments of beautiful love and moments of the deepest hate and ALL for another that feels the same way about you. This cycle of ups and downs can go on forever and in the end one is left feeling empty and alone even if living with another…
Sex with Unconditional Love is a whole new world of beauty, joy, laughter, and peace for you are truly free. When you meet someone that you feel an instant soulful connection, you are intrigued and want to learn and know more about them. The connection grows and although you may not be physically together in that moment, the connection you have is real and lasting. Read my previous postings for further clarification on what Unconditional Love truly means, but to summarize, unconditional love is to love with no conditions not like this example, ”if he would just tell me he loves me or if he would just show me some appreciation”. Love yourself and appreciate yourself for with that, you will not need to lay down conditions to be loved for you are loved and YOU KNOW IT!!!
Once you love yourself unconditionally by forgiving yourself of all things you have ever done for only you can truly forgive you, you will then and only then know the meaning of true Freedom. God, the Universe, has already forgiven you for God loves you unconditionally so forgive yourself and love you unconditionally. With the newfound freedom that you will discover with loving yourself, Sex for the purpose of just Sex, will not fulfill your soul. You may feel the sense of fulfillment from the Sex act itself or just from the affection and passion, but without unconditional love, it will leave you feeling just as empty as you did before it all began.
We are all souls seeking unconditional love, but until we truly understand that this is obtained internal to you and not dependent upon external validation, this freedom will open you up to discovering the meaning of “True Love”…UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR YOURSELF FIRST AND FOREMOST…
May you walk your journey in Unconditional Love…

Today, I am inspired to write about passionately loving your life in the very NOW moment. To be in the NOW moment is to truly LIVE right now, not for the future and not for the past, for NOW.
We are a people that were created to give, share, and serve. If you are a believer of Jesus Christ than you know his message, but now is the time to live his message and it begins with YOU. YOU are responsible for everything that happens around you. YOU are responsible for YOU, your health, your well-being, your very existence.
Jesus said to bless the food you eat, bless what you drink…so start there by blessing what you ingest into your body and you will receive the healthful benefits that you envision. Jesus said to serve others and by serving others you are serving God. This is true as well for we are ALL God’s children and by serving your brother, your sister, you are serving ALL.
People, please focus on how Jesus lived as well and ALL of his inspirational, truthful messages for he was trying to give everyone all the answers that you will ever need to all the questions you have in your heart. He was giving you tips to the answers that you actually already know in your heart. It is just a matter of “remembering”…
Yes, we have been taught to focus on his death in order to get into heaven, but Jesus’ focus was to live life and serve, give, and share. By focusing solely on his death, we are missing the true messages which begins and ends with UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!!!
By passionately living life in the NOW moment, you become more aware of what is occurring around you. Yes, the Media shares with us all the negative things that are out there from the Swine Flu, to Terrorists around every corner, to this, to that, and all based on FEAR. Is this FREEDOM? NO!!! Living in a state of FEAR is not living in the NOW. Once you release the FEAR, the GUILT, and forgive yourself of everything and begin to truly LIVE, you will now know true FREEDOM.
Ask yourself this question: Would God truly turn his/her back on me ever? NO! How could God do this if he/she loves us with UNCONDITIONAL LOVE??? The key is to live a beautiful life filled with giving, sharing, and serving just like Jesus did. For by giving, sharing, and serving to all of humanity beginning with YOU, your family, your friends, strangers, people you have never even met in person, all animals, all of nature, by doing this very thing, you will FEEL FREEDOM like you have never known before.
I’m not asking anyone to give up their traditional religious teachings for that is not my Life Purpose. My Life Purpose is to give, serve, and share with ALL of YOU with UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!!! I have also learned that whenever I face negativity in this world, to ask myself how Jesus would respond. For Jesus was the most advanced soul to have walked planet Earth and he came here to assist us with understanding the true meaning of LIFE and to live life with UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!!!
I suggest that we all minimize our exposure to the media and any negativity that permeates around us. Value your positive vibrations like Third World says, “Positive Vibrations, YEAH”…Value how you FEEL and do not allow anyone to take that away from you. BELIEVE, TRUST, AND KNOW!!! The Three most valuable words to follow as you give UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!!! The more you share Unconditional Love, the more that you will receive in return and this is a guarantee…
Much love and blessings to you on this day and all days as you continue to serve, share, and give Unconditional Love…

As we continue our journey down the path of enlightenment and awareness, we are focused on our Passions and we are spreading unconditional love and compassion to ALL; however, there comes a time when everyone will begin to find themselves speaking with negative thoughts. This is common and to be expected for we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
I felt inspired to write this topic today for I am on a natural high of unconditional love, compassion, excitement, and feeling all the beauty that surrounds me in nature and with family and friends; however, I too thought I would experiment with topics of discussion while surrounded by family members that are also enlightened and aware. What came to my attention is that we all find ourselves speaking in negative terms using negative thoughts and/or judging others. It is extremely important to our ability to ascend and be true spiritual loving beings if we would just pay attention to our thoughts, words, and actions at all times.
This is called Self-Awareness and as we are passionate about our ascension process and the unconditional love and compassion that we give and that we receive in life, we MUST be self-aware at all times or we will find our vibrational levels dropping back down to the 4th dimension and/or even back to the 3rd dimension. For when we allow ourselves to think negative thoughts or lay in judgment of another human, we are not fully at the “awareness” state and as such, we may drop our vibrational level and begin to feel all those negative emotions that we once felt and KNEW that they didn’t serve us well.
So I ask you today to pay attention to your thoughts, actions, deeds, and so forth for if you find yourself expressing negative emotions with others or thinking in judgment of another, step back, catch yourself, and embark on a positive train of thought that will bring you back to center, back to the 5th dimension, and you will feel the love and light in your spirit lifting you up again where you need to be…
If you need assistance with grounding yourself, centering yourself, there are meditative videos that can help you. Here is a link to a great meditative video to assist you with maintaining your 5th dimensional level as you continue your journey down the path of life…

Much blessings and love to you on this day and always…with Unconditional Love!

Today, I awoke inspired to write about Unconditional Love and our Egos. As spirits experiencing the human condition, I have realized that we will constantly put ourselves through various tests. The Universe (God) doesn’t “test” us per se, we test ourselves constantly and by doing so, we find ourselves “wanting” and the feelings of fear-based sadness permeates us. We find ourselves resenting ourselves and others, we find ourselves feeling “slighted” by others, we feel anger, we feel deep and sorrowful sadness, and we feel frustration with others and ourselves by making assumptions about why this person is doing that, and why that person is doing this. I experienced this myself and I wanted to bring this to everyone’s attention that it is time to RELEASE THE EGO…we must purge our Egos in order to truly KNOW UNCONDITIONAL LOVE…
As we go through our day, we start off with thoughts of love and light, but then challenges come to the forefront to “dim our clarity”. This can occur from external factors such as people or events that may arise, but it is more so due to our own internal challenges and the self-induced rules that we apply to ourselves. For example, one of the biggest obstacles in our lives is by the use of alcohol and other substances. Now moderation is the key in all things; however, the use of alcohol and other substances “dims your clarity” and you “see things” that are not “for real“. For example, after inducing alcohol (and/or other substances) and more so when done excessively, your Ego comes to the forefront and you begin to question the loyalty of others and even of yourselves, you begin to “believe” in something that has no bearing to anyone other than you, you begin to “judge” others around you and you begin to feel “pain and despair” internally until it consumes you and you are wracked with grief and self-hate. This is ALL Ego and past pain and hurts that you MUST begin purging now for they have no bearing upon your life purpose and direction. They have value in the sense that you must learn from them, but begin the purging process now and it begins with UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR YOURSELF FIRST!
Start today by being gentle with yourself and begin the process of purging your ego. The way to do this is to begin loving yourself first. Know that you are deserving of all wonderful things and that when your heart cries out to the universe, the universe hears you and the universe will send you help…many of you know people that have been true Earth Angels in your life and they WILL come by your call so call them to you to help you through whatever crisis you are dealing with and begin by purifying your bodies…bless the water you drink and drink lots and lots of water, eat healthy…remember protein daily first and foremost…if you consume alcohol, do so with moderation and drink wine more so than hard liquor, for hard liquor tends to really muddy the waters and your clarity is dimmed substantially. Any alcohol that is consumed in abundance will create this distortion of the mind. If you have an alcohol or substance abuse problem, call out to the Universe to help you with loving yourself first and the Universe will bring Earth Angels to assist you. Do it and do it now for the whole world is ready to support you in your efforts…you will see…
Purge your egos today…one step at a time…one day at a time…with UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!!!
With Love and Blessings on this day…a new day…a new way…in Passions in the New Age!

Today, I awoke with such joyousness that I thought only existed in the movies and “make-believe” for even those who have “found God” and feel “saved” have truly found a joyousness that is beyond what you ever dreamed of before. I believe that we are all “saved” and that God resides in each and every one of us for we are ALL God’s children and as such he wants you to have a life filled with passion, abundance, and JOY!!! What is this joy you ask? This joy is living life!
I say that you should not live each day as if it is your last, but live each day with the anticipation of more and more for life is filled with so many opportunities, adventures, and love that if you begin to look within, you will discover that it all begins with YOU and only YOU.
This day I ask you to do me a favor and go into a quiet place where there is no noise or outside distractions and begin starting your day with asking yourself what is in store for you and listen to the first response. You are the creator of your destiny and it begins each morning that you awaken. You are your own boss and you are here to serve you and the Universe in all things. When I say Universe I am speaking of God, your higher power, the source energy, the Sun.
Even if there is no sunshine when you awaken, close your eyes and envision the Sun for the Sun IS your source energy and as such begin to manifest your own love and light within each day that you awaken. They say that each day is not a guarantee, I tell you that each day is guaranteed for each day is given as a blessing to fulfill all your passions in life. Each day that you awaken anticipating your passion, anticipating the wonderful surprises that the Universe has in store for you, you will see that God guaranteed that day to you and it is a gift for “Living Life”…
With blessings and love in this day filled with abundance and JOY…

Today I feel inspired to write about Passions and Unconditional Love. My blogs have focused on both topics throughout; however, today, I put together a compilation of songs on “Unconditional Love” by various artists with a different take on what unconditional love means to them. I have posted the playlist here; however, some songs you may need to access via the http://imeem.com website to listen to the full version.
I believe unconditional love means many things to everyone beginning with the love of parent to child and even more specifically, our Mother’s love. When it comes to familial love, we all believe that unconditional love is much easier due to our relation by blood; however, we are all related, we are all connected, it is just a matter of time when we will all rediscover this for ourselves.
The reason I’m writing about passions and unconditional love is because I believe we are all passionately seeking love and we are all focused on achieving a love that is free of judgments, clear, direct, decisive, and “for real”. Once we arrive at the place where we no longer have judgments about love and have released our deep-seated wounds from past hurts and pain, we will rediscover unconditional love in our hearts AND will be open to sharing our soulful unconditional love with everyone.
The journey towards unconditional love begins with love for yourself as I mentioned in previous blogs; however, I have discovered today that it is even more than self-love. Once we have mastered self-love and have healed from previous hurts and wounds, we still have a bit of a journey to follow down the path of unconditional love. Loving everyone unconditionally is really quite simple; however, I am also struggling with this. Within the confines of my home and family/friends, it appears so simple (now patience and tolerance are another thing altogether when it comes to family and friends…LOL); however, people outside of my safe haven (or as I call it, ”home here on earth”) are another challenge all together (again, patience and tolerance are the key…).
Uncondtional love for all of humankind begins within. As you complete the process of self-love with unconditional love (e.g., an understanding that you are worthy and deserving of unconditional love with no judgments!), your unconditional love for yourself will grow and sharpen its perception of you and the world. You will find that we are all connected…we are all one “Soul Family”. This is the true key for passions and unconditional love. We are all truly connected. Once we look at all souls as family members, whether good or bad (and in some instances, we may be asking ourselves, what???), just know that it is what it is…
Are you starting to meet people (or maybe you already have throughout your life, you just didn’t really understand it) and finding yourself with an immediate “connection” to them…,not knowing if there really was a connection? If so, read my poem entitled “Soulful, Spiritual Connections” for I talk a bit about the type of connections that we are all seeking in our lives. Some of us for a significant other, or possible Twin Flame, or just a soulmate that can be a companion or may even be karmic for all relationships are here to assist us with our soul growth and development. If you are starting to meet more and more people that fall into the category of spiritual, soulful connections then know that you are not alone. Follow these relationships, keep them close, for lessons are at hand! Your life will take you down a path you may not have expected, but joy and happiness will soon follow as long as you TRUST! Remember, don’t spend too much time thinking and thinking for the waters will become murky and clarity difficult…have courage and do not fall into the trap of the opposite of courage (which I will not mention here for I believe we should only focus on what we want to achieve, not the alternative)…
Your passions in life are what will steer your heart in the right direction to meet and make spiritual, soulful connections with unconditional love. If you have pets, you are already fully aware of the unconditional love that they provide to you in your life. Why are your pets filled with unconditional love for you no matter whether you ignore them, and even mistreat them (although I hope those reading this have never mistreated their pets…), they will still love you. That is unconditional love. Now, I’m not touting that you should love someone even when they are abusing you for anything that creates pain in this life is to be avoided at all times if possible; however, even these types of relationships are bringing lessons in your life due to past wounds, pains, and/or past life experiences (if you believe in reincarnation). These types of relationships must be removed from your life through your self-love and self-healing; however, only you can make that choice in your life for God gave us the ability of self-will to make our choices and decide what is best for us. Please remember that self-will is what truly “limits” us; therefore, open yourself up to your higher consciousness…there you will receive all the answers you need directly from the source God.
Although you have self-will and you make your own choices, take the time to go to a quiet place to self-reflect and meditate before making decisions in your life. No lessons needed. Just go to a quiet place and center yourself (which means to get away from the noise and really listen to your inner voice). Allow your higher consciousness to guide you…this is the first thought that enters your mind when you ask yourself questions. When you spend too much time pondering the answers, you are allowing yourself to sink into the murky waters where clarity cannot be found…
Following your higher consciousness and allowing the universe to “take over the wheel of your life” so to speak, you can then begin to merge your heart’s passions with unconditional love. This is our true purpose and once discovered, we will find our true “Soul Family” which is all around us and waiting for acknowledgement to begin projects and other wonderful tasks in your life to show you your true life purpose. Passions and unconditional love…hand-in-hand and ready for you! Are you ready for the journey? Take my hand and let’s walk it together…
Much love and blessings to you as you walk your journey in this day…

I am inspired today to write about Passions and Judgments. You may ask what does Passions and Judgments have in common? Well, I tell you that if you are judging others, you are doing so passionately for judgments are spun from one’s passions. We oftentimes find ourselves judging others based on what is external to us and what we believe in. We believe that if others do not conform to our way of thinking that we must judge them; however, I say to you that judgments are your own reality and as such, we should all practice Jesus’ teachings and again how he lived, more so then his death, for in his life, he didn’t judge anyone. It is said he had human emotions, but he would always meditate and pray for all the answers he needed were within.
As I awoke today, I was inspired to focus on judgments for as I am a Truth Seeker and a Truth Sayer, I can only speak from my own experiences and my higher self for within me is the God source and as such, I can only speak from my inner realm. Having said this, no matter what I see or hear internal to me, I am not here to judge anyone for I come with unconditional love…
I believe in all religions for they all have the truth residing within them; however, I ask you to begin searching for the truth within you for only then are you able to access information on all religions with an open mind. If you know nothing about the Bible, Qur’an, Torah, or any of the other religions, I ask you to take the time to study and do not judge for they all have inspirational messages from the source God. Our spirituality is internal to us and we have been blessed with gift of sharing that spirituality with others. Do not judge yourself, anyone, or anything and most of all, do not judge any religions. Study them to seek the truth and by doing so, you will discover the information that you need and you can leave behind that which doesn’t resonate with your soul.
There is a passage from the Bible that I find very enlightening and inspirational in my search for the truth for as I have stated in a previous blog, Jesus and all Ascended Masters have shared the truth with us and were Truth Seekers and Truth Sayers inasmuch of their awareness during their existence here on earth. As our souls grow, prosper, and learn, we are driven to find the truth today for the veil of illusion is lifting and we are empowered to seek the TRUTH in everything.
This is the passage that I find very enlightening and inspirational for it was spoken with the Truth and it resonates in my heart; however, this isn’t to say that there isn’t many other inspirational messages that resonate, I just find that Jesus was the light and the truth and not because of how he died, but how he lived:
Luke 11:5-13 He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’ and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’? I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs. “I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he? If you then know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
Please understand that at no time would I judge any religion or whether any of the sacred writings such as the Bible, Qur’an, Torah, and others are the absolute truth from God, but I will say that when the words resonate in your heart, they make you happy, you feel at peace, and inspired by unconditional love, then those are the words that you must read and memorize for they are uplifting to you and inspires you to give love to everyone.
Much love and blessings to all of you with Passions in the New Age…

February 27th, 2009
We are all searching for answers and attempting to find them external to us. All the answers to every question that you have for yourself can be found within. Communication begins in the heart for in the heart resides the Source God. We are all connected to God and as such, we receive the answers to questions that we have if only we would ask.
I, like many others, always went external to me to obtain the answers I needed. Yes, there are spiritual messages out there that we can all read and Spirit Library (http://spiritlibrary.com) is one of those sites that I find very insightful, but there is a part of me that is wondering where is the diversity of people from various cultures within the United States that are assisting with the effort of communicating this to everyone? There are countless blogs out there, but if we do not communicate in a manner in which people understand, we will lose them.
I have found many articles, channelings, blogs, books that speak at such a level of communication that leaves many wondering “what did they just say?”. We need to learn to communicate with everyone in a manner in which they can understand. I don’t believe that is happening. I can read these channelings, blogs, articles and understand much of what is being said, but this is because my heart is already there. What about the people that are not there yet? Many of the articles that I have read utilize a communication style that indicates they have a rich knowledge of the english language; however, do they have an understanding of the true language of the people? Speak the language of the people and they will listen. Write the words according to what the people understand and they will read it.
To further clarify, Ascended Master Jesus’ writings were not difficult to understand at all for anyone who reads them. We need to follow his style of communication in the sense that we can truly understand the message. If you can’t understand the message, then the message is lost. We need to write as we speak, but in a clear manner in which our words make sense. We need to speak like the audience in which we want to reach. Using words, descriptions, and other means of communicating that is not comfortable nor familiar to people will only have them scratching their heads and saying, “I don’t get it”.
I have felt some sense of frustration that we all keep distributing books on spiritualism and yet how many people that need to read them are reading them. We must learn how to reach people with our communication style that opens up doors, not closes them. I am also a believer that when you ask yourself a question and listen to the immediate response, you are hearing the TRUTH; therefore, we need to stop having the middle man or woman channeling messages to us and begin looking at our higher self which has the answers to everything and can obtain those answers directly from the source, GOD.
Please begin using communication styles that can relay your messages in an effective manner and we will see doors opening and people finally getting the message…
With love and blessings in your life this day and always…
