I AM Lanto, having come to you today. And the purpose of my coming today is to give you an instruction that I hope will be useful for you in your daily life.

Now, when the cosmic cycles have changed, other qualities, other skills and abilities are required from you that are different from those that humanity had at its disposal in the past century. And the reasonable development of humanity in the future is not possible without mastering these new qualities and skills.

You may already feel it in yourselves now. We have warned you that the vibrations of planet Earth are rising onto a new level.^[1] And in order for you to adapt to these vibrations, a rearrangement of your perception of the world system is required. This is a very complex and labor-intensive process. You should change your attitude toward everything, and you should readjust the whole system of relationships that exists in your society.

This is not my initiative, and it is still less of an initiative of our Messenger — it is what must happen inevitably because the survival of mankind is impossible without it.

Humanity as a whole must master new kinds of relationships. And these relationships must become of a character that is more close to the relationships that exist among us, the Ascended Masters. Why not follow our example and set aside your old, poor-quality relationships, change your individualism to cooperation, and change your thinking of only yourselves to sharing your experience with the whole human family?

Do understand that the time has come to move to relationships based on friendship, love, mutual help, and mutual support. And no matter how you cling to the habitual stereotypes of behavior, they will inevitably become things of the past, and dissolve together with those imperfections that are inherent in your society now: wars, acts of terror, epidemics, and economic crises. Your society is sick and it is necessary to transition to a new level of consciousness and a new way of thinking in order to continue the evolution.

We are warning you because the general vibrational background on the planet is rising. And you have to follow this new level of vibrations. Everything that cannot adjust and change will be subject to a gradual purification. You should carefully observe yourself and the people around you. The same thing is happening now that used to happen when a person was going through initiations at secret mystery schools in the past.

Namely, this person was placed into conditions where the vibrations were of a higher level than what was normal for him. And all of his bodies — the physical body and the more subtle bodies of the person — had to adjust to the new level of vibrations. The raising of vibrations pushes out of the person those negative energetic blocks that have grown together with the individual and peacefully coexisted with him during many embodiments. That is why the person becomes predisposed to various negative states of consciousness and various pains in the physical body that cannot be qualified as usual diseases. His psyche goes through changes and he becomes nervous, unbalanced, gloomy, and irritable. Doesn’t that look like a familiar picture to you?

But what happened in the mystery schools that I referred to earlier concerned only one person or a group of individuals. Your planet and the entire human community have entered the period during which they are going through a collective initiation.

Thus, you are given to understand that the passage of the cosmic opportunity is becoming narrower. It is time for you to make the final choice: you either follow the Path of evolution or you become the tares, the waste.

You can tell me that the Cosmic Law is treating you inhumanely. However, don’t you act in the same way in your own kitchen-garden? You pull up the weeds if they threaten your harvest. You cut the dead branches from the trees and burn them.

During the past millennia we have been continually coming to you through a great number of messengers and prophets. And we have been repeatedly warning you that it was necessary to align the course of development of your civilization. It cannot be said that someone didn’t hear about our warnings at least once in their life.

The fact that we are implementing our changes in a smooth flowing manner gives you an opportunity to weigh everything one more time and to give the best part of you an opportunity to develop.

While there is yet time, think over my words. Weigh everything. Do not strive to solve everything at one stroke. Small yet continuous efforts that you apply in the right direction lead to the best results.

The karma that you have created has interwoven the destinies of many people with your own destiny. That is why you cannot drop everything and rush to the forest or desert to save your soul. Every day you should apply efforts to transform your relationship with your relatives and workfellows. You should coordinate all the changes in your life with those people with whom you have the heaviest karma.

It is possible to turn the most difficult karmic situation into a favorable course but for that you must devote all your life, and perhaps not only one life, to untying your karmic knots.

Therefore, get ready for strenuous work upon yourself, upon your imperfections, and always remember that when you help someone to solve their problems, then by doing so, you solve your own karmic problems. If you are sincerely glad about the achievements of somebody else, then with this, you acquire the entire momentum of the merits of this person.

There are many ways that you can work off a very large karma in a few years just by making correct choices and manifesting the right attitude in the situations that life brings you.

I have given you an important Teaching that will be essential for you in these years and days.
