This news release from AP News came out this afternoon, which I thought was interesting. Makes me wonder about what the Vatican is really thinking. This is indeed a new direction for the church.

VATICAN CITY - The Vatican's chief astronomer says that believing in aliens does not contradict faith in God.
The Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, the Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory, says that the vastness of the universe means it is possible there could be other forms of life outside Earth, even intelligent ones.
In an interview published Tuesday by Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, Funes says that such a notion "doesn't contradict our faith" because aliens would still be God's creatures.
The interview was headlined "The extraterrestrial is my brother." Funes said that ruling out the existence of aliens would be like "putting limits" on God's creative freedom.

Please ease your spirit into knowing that all is as it should be! Yes, the Powers That Be have influenced the church and have guided and directed its actions through negative entities that we all are aware of for near 1800 years. However, you must not look at the whole of the church as being repressive. Much truth has been revealed by the clergy, the Saints and those who were not blinded by the machinations of the Church powers. Realize brother Ivar that our Creator works through all of his creation, including that which we perceive as negative. And realize that all is of Oneness. When you look at the church with pain and dissapointment, realize that you are seeing yourself as well. We/It is all one.
The very fact that they are admitting that there is more to Creation than what is preceived on this planet of the Genesis, is a sign that the Light of Truth is saturating the darkness which has blanketed and smothered the belief systme and dogma of this organization.
Love and Light of the one infinite Creator be with you Ivar,
Berry

Dear Ivar,
How much pain you are feeling with regard to dark entities and their oppression of peoples of the world. I have compassion for your distress and anger. I just want to emphasize that even when we observe what we call evil being committed in the world, such as you mentioned the child abuse, the murders in the name of Christianity, and finacial machinations, that these things will be coming to an end and they are already being exposed. We are entering a new age, a new dimension where such things will not be tolerated, indeed will not be able to be manifested.
Ivar, one of the purposes of The Transformation Team is to realize that we are all part of All That Is. That include the good, the bad and the ugly. Every person has some of each of that within them. We are a hologram of the Universe and The Creator has allowed all this to happen 1. because of free-will and 2. because the Creator must experience all that can be. In the realization that this physical life is a brief and illusory experience, remembering that we are eternal spiritual beings having a human experience, what we experience is God/The Creator experiencing life as free-willed humanity....the good, the bad and the ugly. And so, in spite of what appears to us as repulsive, unexcusable, and guiltridden behavior of any being, or organization, we will observe it with unconditional love for the spirits envolved and without jugdment, because we do not know the Mind of the Creator.
In the Love and Light of our one infinite Creator,
Berry
The second coralary of the Law Of One is Free Will. Every entity has free will and nothing or no one, physical or spiritual can interfere with that free will other than provide evidence to assuage the entity to change their will.

Of course, dear Berry and Elizabeth, everything that is, is part of each of us is part of everything that is. That truth is the basis of the core intention of this Transformation Team. We intend that as we learn and practice all that is included within this Truth we can transform our world, and achieve ascension or whatever term you choose to express our individual perfection into Oneness. This is a HUGE concept to assymilate and turn into a governing force of all our actions, and reactions.
We have all worked our way through the TT course, and many other paths to the Sacred. Most of us can accept the concept of Oneness of All, and how this leads to discovering within ourselves everything that exists in our awareness. This is a sacred Ideal, the goal, or maybe even the Holy Grail, for which we search, strive, and hunger. I suspect not one of us has fully integrated this concept, let alone practice, into our very beingness. Anyone who has grown to this level more than likely will not still be "here" seeking to transform him/herself.
I appreciate the honesty you express, Ivar, when you says you know that is the goal but that you have not yet reached it. Do you feel helped if we try to change the truth you have stated of where you are right now? Have the rest of us walked in Ivar's shoes? Have we personally witnessed and felt the causes of his anger? Did we notice the depth of Sacred Truth shown by his statement, "Not the Church, not Religion, but Good will, Honesty, Selflessnes and Love and Brotherhood! Thet's what must manifest into this world!"
With Overflowing Sacred Love for us all,
JoyAnna
