Making Peace With Change – Unraveling Shaltazar

Hello spiritual seekers.

Welcome to another episode of the Unraveling Shaltazar podcast featuring me,

Mark Lane,

Spiritual seeker,

Writer,

And Shaltazar enthusiast,

Along with the mouthpiece of Shaltazar,

Jeffrey Eisen,

My good friend and collaborator.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar,

Jeffrey is a Toronto based spiritual life coach,

Teacher,

And channeler of a spiritual entity who goes by the name Shaltazar.

With the help and support of Shaltazar's cosmic wisdom,

It is Jeffrey's mission to assist in shifting the consciousness of our planet.

It is my pleasure to assist Jeffrey in making this marvelous wisdom available to the largest possible audience and to unravel it in an understandable and comprehensible way.

Here we are again.

Hello Jeffrey.

Hello Mark.

How are you doing today?

Doing pretty well.

Doing pretty well.

It's a busy time of year.

For whatever reason,

May,

My dad was in education and he always used to say May was his most unfavourite month because there's so much stuff going on.

So,

You know,

In addition to the regular workload,

School's ending and graduations,

And I'm on a scholarship committee,

And you know,

So we had to prepare a script for scholarship awards,

And it's like,

It seems like everything is happening,

You know,

In May.

So it's been a lot going on.

Yeah,

It's interesting you say that.

I mean,

I have a little bit different perspective on May because it's my birthday month,

So you know,

On the 28th I'm gonna be 69.

But May,

I think,

Is one of those months that are a transition month.

You're getting into spring,

And here in Toronto the leaves are out full,

The flowers are out.

I've had an opportunity to have a couple of nature photo shoots,

And so,

You know,

To me it's just like something is happening.

It's not like,

This is the first week that I'm starting to think about,

Oh,

You know,

Things I can do in the summer.

So it's that transition where,

And I think that's,

You know,

As an educator that's what your father would have felt because you're getting close to,

You know,

Into the summer holiday.

So it is an energy of change,

And of course since we are in the midst of the great potential for change,

The energy for change is even greater.

We're also coming out of COVID,

So it doesn't surprise me that we're sort of feeling this little bit of discombobulation as we try to navigate the change.

Because for,

You know,

For all change a door needs to close for a new door to open,

And so we're into that sort of door closing,

Door opening,

And sometimes the door that has them closed yet is staying open,

So we're dancing in that room and we're dancing in the other room.

So it does feel like we are,

It's very easy to be torn in different directions.

I highly recommend listeners get out in nature and take some time for yourself because otherwise it can be a little bit overwhelming.

So,

And I guess that advice is for you as well,

My friend.

No,

Thank you.

Yeah,

I will take it.

We've been trying to do that God for Walks last time we came back with a bunch of ticks,

So we're gonna have to be careful where we walk,

But it seems like this is a bad year for them.

In Canada they're everywhere,

Right?

You can't get away from them,

So at least that's what my old roommates from Canada used to tell me.

Well,

Get out in nature and cleanse that soul of yours,

Otherwise it's very easy to become overwhelmed in this transitional month.

Mm-hmm,

Sure,

Yeah.

Yeah,

I can feel it myself,

So I'll do that.

So,

Interestingly,

You were talking about,

You know,

This being a time of transition.

The message that I chose to talk about today is one called Making Peace with the Struggle,

And we were talking just before,

You know,

This is an older message,

It's a live channeling that you did.

I want to say that the date that I saw on the recording on Insight Time was 2015,

But there's a reference here in the beginning that sounds like you were transitioning from 2012 into 2013,

So you may have recorded this before 2015,

But this message is kind of all about that whole idea of transitions,

Beginnings and endings,

And,

You know,

One of the first lines that I latched on to here was,

You'll realize from the divine perch,

So it was talking about kind of stepping back from involvement in our day-to-day activities and kind of climbing up on the mountain and sort of looking at things from a more global or divine perspective,

It says,

You'll realize from that divine perch that the endings are often unpleasant,

But how can there be new beginnings without endings?

And that seems to be kind of the recurrent theme through this message,

The idea of,

As doors close,

It doesn't feel real good,

But it has to happen for new doors to open,

So that's kind of that whole transition from spring to summer that we were just talking about,

I think.

Yeah,

And,

You know,

It's really important,

I believe,

That we pay homage to those endings.

Sometimes things in our life that don't even feel comfortable,

We hang on to them because there's a certain familiarity with the discomfort,

And,

You know,

What is it,

Better the devil you know than the devil you don't,

I think was an old saying around that,

And I've suggested to many people over the years in my coaching that,

You know,

To create rituals and create homage when there's an ending.

I know,

You know,

When our physical form transitions over,

A lot of cultures,

A lot of religions have rituals around death and dying and things like that,

And that is because it's really important to sort of have that closure,

Otherwise that energy sort of hangs around in you,

And so I find it's really,

Really important if you want to close that door that you do some rituals to pay homage to those endings,

And even if they are unpleasant in the newest message that I channeled from Shel Tazar,

They're talking about as COVID ends that we are having somewhat of an epidemic of fear that is remaining in the collective consciousness,

And if we don't end this COVID thing with proper respect and homage and be able to move on,

Then that fear is going to be stuck with us in the collective energy,

So I think it's really,

Really important,

And that message,

Again,

It was very nostalgic,

Thank you for picking it,

Because just before we came on I was telling you that I used to do something called a circle of love and abundance in our condo,

And we would just invite people in to have an evening of meditation and to hear a Shel Tazar channeling and then to discuss it,

And so although the sound quality on that one isn't that great,

It was really nostalgic to listen to it again,

And they were really very much talking about the fact that in order to do the best you can in that transition,

You have to realize you have a choice,

And are you going to choose optimism versus pessimism?

Are you going to,

You know,

Are you going to choose regret that a door is closing,

Or are you going to choose,

You know,

Enthusiasm because a new door is opening?

You know,

Before we got on,

We were talking about your daughter picking a college and a career,

And you and I,

I was saying that,

You know,

How can anybody be excited about a career in a world that you don't know what kind of career is going to be around for you,

Right?

And here you are 17,

18,

You're going into college and you have to figure out what you're going to do for the rest of your life.

Well,

At 50,

I changed mid-path,

I got a do-over,

So Shel Tazar is really in this message encouraging us to look at that change through different eyes,

With a certain power that we get to choose how we allow those changes to unfold.

Yeah,

Yeah.

That whole thing of change,

And I'll apologize to the listeners,

I'm having some work done in the house,

And so there's some hammering that you may hear,

That's nothing to be alarmed about.

Well,

Excuse me for interrupting,

I'm glad you clarified that,

Because the listeners may think that that was Shel Tazar and company banging to get the point across,

It's like,

It's like an extenuated finger pointing,

Right?

We're gonna bang,

We're gonna bang until you get that,

So yes,

That is the tradesman that is in Shel Tazar.

Yeah,

Yeah,

Right,

Banging on the inside of my head.

So one of the things that intrigued me about that whole idea of choice is that,

And I'm first born,

And so I have the burden of the world on my shoulders,

Right?

So as an old soul,

All of us old souls have self-worth issues,

Right?

And there's a phrase in here,

It said,

Talking about this idea of choice,

Let us assure you that each and every choice you make,

Whether where you choose light or dark,

Light not dark,

Faith not fear,

Optimism not pessimism,

Each and every choice moves you closer to a place of oneness,

To a place of compassion,

To a place of understanding.

So this idea that,

I mean,

I always thought that,

You know,

Every choice I make is the wrong choice.

What they're saying is that,

Whenever you're choosing in the positive,

Right,

That that is somehow advancing the entire evolution of humanity just by making that choice.

You know,

It says,

I'm not enough,

I'm not doing enough,

Right?

That's kind of that mindset.

Well,

You are just by making the right choice,

Which is kind of reassuring and refreshing to me.

It made me feel good to think that way.

Right,

And when you talk about right choice,

What was kind of interesting in this message is they are saying that we learn by comparison.

This was an insight and a concept that I forgot when it came up,

Because it's certainly been a,

You know,

A part of my journey for a long time.

And they are saying that we need the dark to be able to choose the light.

We need the hate in order to be able to choose the love.

Because we live in the duality,

It is important to pay a certain reverence and respect to the underbelly of the duality.

We talked about,

Last week our episode was on two sides of the same coin,

And we talked about that duality.

So it's kind of interesting that that theme continues again this week.

And so,

The darker side of the duality provides a tremendous gift to humanity for us to choose.

And I think it's also very appropriate,

Although it was a number of years old,

We are in a period where there's a lot of infighting and a lot of divisiveness.

And Shaltazar is encouraging us to have empathy and have compassion for those that are choosing the darkness,

Because they are helping others choose the light by showing up,

By seeing,

You know,

That which is unpleasant,

That which is darkness.

We are getting to be able to say,

Well,

I choose not to have that darkness,

I want more light.

And so,

They talk a lot in that message about choice coming from comparison,

And living in the duality is an important part of that,

Because the source comes from the unity,

And that's where that quote that you talked about,

When you choose something that is the light over the dark,

You're moving more to that unity and you're really bringing it all together,

If that makes any sense.

Sure.

Yeah,

I always think,

You know,

My younger daughter was an athlete,

Or is an athlete,

And she's had a string of really despicable coaches along her path.

And,

You know,

I always said to her,

And she said this to me,

You know,

That each one of them taught her how not to be a coach.

And so you need,

You do need that dark example,

That negative example,

That,

You know,

That despicable person,

So you can stop and go,

Well,

Wait a minute,

You know,

What,

You know,

What do I want to be on this continuum,

You know,

What makes sense,

You know,

What feels better,

You know,

Being that way or being this way,

I guess,

Right?

Well,

Yeah,

And that's kind of interesting,

Because in my coaching practice,

You know,

I deal with a lot of people that have parental issues,

It's like,

Don't we all,

Right,

That's part of the game.

And people either really want to emulate their parents,

Or just be the opposite of their parents.

And so I want you to know,

And,

You know,

All those parents out there,

No matter what kind of parent you are,

You are providing a useful service for your kids,

Because they're either going to emulate you,

Or they're going to do the opposite,

So either way you've done fine in the eyes of the source,

In my opinion.

So,

So it,

Again,

That comparison is really important,

And I think,

Especially with the state of the world the way it is now,

I think some of us are not making as conscious a choice.

We're not looking at it in terms of what do we want to be more of,

You know,

Like there's a,

There's a lot of people stirring up divisiveness,

And our freedoms were taken away,

And a lot of blaming of governments,

And things like that.

So I really encourage people,

Don't get into the minutiae of it,

But stand back as they bring the image of coming to the mountaintop.

They say,

Come to the mountaintop with us,

So you can have a wider perspective of your life,

And realize,

And this has come out in messages after that,

After the one we're talking about,

That every choice you make creates a different life.

And so it is so,

So important that you make those choices from a place of consciousness,

That you weigh the opposites,

You look at the duality,

And a few times throughout that message they said,

Do you want to make that choice from optimism or pessimism?

Do you want to make it from love?

Do you want to make it from hate?

And it's really important to look at the energy of your choices.

I think a lot of people are making choices without realizing the energy in them,

And I think that,

You know,

A lot of people,

You know,

Here in Canada we're still,

In Toronto,

We're still in kind of a lockdown,

And people are looking and saying,

Oh yeah,

But look at the United States,

There,

You know,

Where you are,

Things are more open.

Well,

Yeah,

You probably had more fatalities.

It's sort of like weigh the whole picture,

Right?

Don't go and look and see what this one has and want it,

But look at it from your own perspective.

Weigh it very,

Very carefully the choices you're making,

Because the choices you are making today are creating the life you will have tomorrow,

Next month,

Next year.

Yeah,

I agree.

Yeah,

I'm starting to see the polarities in,

You know,

In that whole,

You know,

COVID confinement,

You know,

Choice.

I think,

I mean,

Down here the sentiment has been,

I think,

A very large-scale transition from fear to,

I don't want to call it bravery because it's not really bravery,

But I think people are just tired of being afraid of this thing,

And they are like,

Okay,

Well,

Whatever happens I'm not going to hide from it anymore,

And so there's kind of this,

Been this transition away from,

You know,

Being fearful and hiding from the virus to saying,

Okay,

If you're gonna come get me,

Come get me.

You know,

I'm sure the vaccine has helped embolden people to some degree,

But,

You know,

There's definitely been a change in attitude,

I think,

Where people have chosen that,

Or made the choice that,

You know,

Living their life is more important than,

You know,

Whether or not they get impacted by this virus.

So,

It's a beautiful example,

Excellent example of,

I think,

What this message is trying to tell us is that the darkness,

The fear,

Got to that point where it's not worth it to live my life that way,

I'm going to choose,

And I loved,

I liked your word bravery,

I do think that we're seeing a certain bravery to be able to move beyond it,

And maybe collectively that last message from Shelte Zarr was a real wake-up call about fear,

And saying that it is a poison that needs to be eliminated,

And it's kind of interesting,

They say,

You know,

That you have a desire to clean up the environment,

Mother Nature,

And that's really commendable,

But you also want to consider cleaning up the fear that has poisoned your humanity,

And so I'm really,

I'm inspired to hear,

You know,

That from your experience that people have gone beyond that fear,

That there was just so much fear that they're now moving,

Without maybe even knowing it,

To bravery,

And that's exactly what Shelte Zarr is saying,

That would they move to the bravery,

And I think that there's an opportunity for some great things to occur in our humanity now,

And maybe the bravery of being pioneers is going to come from that intense fear of that pandemic,

I mean,

I'm a firm believer that that pandemic was inspired by the higher power to help us change humanity,

And so the deep darkness that we went through as a planet,

As citizens of this planet,

I think is providing exactly what this message is saying,

The comparison to say,

What do you want your future world to look like,

Okay?

We've given you fear,

We've given you restrictions,

We've given you,

Like,

Think about all of the things that we've had to experience in the last year and a half,

And now we get to say,

What do we want to choose?

Right,

Right,

Yeah,

Yeah,

And I like,

You used the word pioneers,

That comes up in this message,

It says,

No matter what it is you are going through,

No matter what it is you have gone through,

You are pioneers,

You are the ones who have awoken,

So it kind of speaks to that idea that,

You know,

That this pandemic has kind of,

You know,

Shaken the foundations and made people stop and go,

Wait a minute,

You know,

I've been so much on autopilot and so used to living,

You know,

With no fear of something like this ever happening,

And now it has happened,

And so now what?

You know,

Where do we go from here?

And hopefully that is the choice of most people,

You know,

Let's go forward without fear and make that choice to have faith and to trust and to be more aware of our fellow man and live a different life that's perhaps a little bit more conscious and aware of all that we do have and how important all those things that do feel good are.

I think it is a tremendous opportunity to pay homage to those that left their human form,

That sacrificed their human lives so that we could change humanity.

I think that that is the homage that we can pay.

It is so important that we stop dwelling on what was during the pandemic and start by comparison looking at the horizon.

What do we want to create?

What do we want to create?

Just like,

You know,

Just like after every world war,

After every major conflict,

You turn your focus to the rebuilding,

I think we're turning the corner.

Maybe that's what May is all about.

Maybe it's time to start thinking about that rebuilding.

Maybe it's time to start thinking about the doors that we want to open and how we as a humanity can live in greater peace,

In greater harmony.

You know,

In the Middle East,

Fighting is starting again.

You know,

I predicted that there would be some social unrest after this.

We're going to go through a little bit of a rocky road,

But I certainly encourage the pioneers,

As Shaltazar said,

The awakened ones to become a little bit more conscious and to help us change our world for the better.

I agree.

Amen.

That's actually a great summary of the conversation.

I appreciate that.

Thank you.

Thank you,

And I can't believe that our time seems to go by so quickly,

And I love it,

And I think that's a testament to that resonance,

To the synchronicity,

To the energy that we share.

So thank you so much for doing these things with me,

Mark.

I couldn't do it without you,

And I greatly appreciate it,

And I guess that's it for today.

That's it.

Thanks.

Thanks for bringing some light to this,

And we'll see what we can come up with for next week.

Excellent.

Thank you,

And love and light to everyone.
