The Group - Confidence of the Soul

Family of Michael ~Confidence of the Soul~

Beacons of Light ~ Reminders from Home: June 2007

Greetings from Home.

Strength in Numbers
Did you know that every step that you take leaves an energetic footprint? You could even call it a path or a marker that shows you were there. When you are searching for your path, it is exactly this same path that you create. This is one of many cosmic jokes of the human experience. Every person that you have ever met and exchanged energy with has altered your life and your path by their connection to you. You are changed a little bit every time you touch and exchange energy with another human. You are part of a collective, an organization if you will, that very quietly gives you energy and keeps the wind at your back. They give you confidence. This is your real soul family. We wish to speak of that family this day. Due to the nature of the game, it was important to forget that you even had a soul family, and some of you have done that well. It was important for you to do this to motivate you to search for your own inner confidence. Now, imagine what it would be like to wipe the sleep from your eyes right this moment and awaken as an empowered creator. This day we wish to share with you a bit of your
own royal heritage, and in doing so to lend you soul confidence.

When you are Home, you have no problem whatsoever with confidence, because you
constantly feel surrounded by the energy of this family. When you can draw on the
energy of the whole, your confidence is always high. It is playing the game pretending
to separate from each other that is making you think you must do everything alone. It
is very difficult for you to bring that understanding through the veil, yet that is what you
are doing at this moment. So what we do this day, is to give a gemstone—something
you can carry in your hearts—one piece that above all, will help you to re-member. For
there is a group of angels on this side of the veil that you are a part of and that is your
original spiritual family. This is the Family of Michael; it is much grander than you first
imagined.

A Vision of Home from the Angels
For us to fully describe this to you, we need to pull back and describe what the angelic
realm looks like from our side of the veil. We realize that you have all of these visions of
angels. You think all these small young angels have these little, small bodies and they
have these little cute wings. They cannot quite fly yet, but maybe someday. . . . Dear
ones, we hate to disappoint you but we do not need wings to fly. There is no real need
to fly when you are Home because all you do is to think of a place and you are there.
The wings that you envisioned are not actually feathered aerodynamic wings. Instead,
they are tools for a specific purpose; we spread our wings only to reflect the
magnificence of humans. The angelic realm exists for the primary purpose of helping
you re-member who you really are. We would love to complicate that for you if you
desire, but it really is just that simple. It is our greatest task to touch your hearts with the
true love of home. If we can do that, then you will find confidence in those times when
you need it most -- as you feel alone. An interesting thing happens when you give a
creator in hiding confidence. They begin to push the limits and create new things; they
begin to awaken from the dream. That is the primary purpose of all angels everywhere.
Keep in mind that Earth is not the only game. There are more games throughout “All
That Is” than you can imagine. Our task in the universal scheme of things is to touch
your hearts with the Love of Home and give you soul confidence.

The Family of Michael
Archangel Michael is perceived in many ways. We will speak this day of the energetic
view as a collective energy -- a collection of grand souls that have combined eons of
evolution toward a very important purpose. This is what we know as angelic intent. It
is the direction we have all lent our energy toward. We tell you it is not nearly as
important to understand as it is to feel it. It is not going to be possible for you to fully
understand the other side of the veil, for your own connections keep you from seeing
your own magnificence. It is our job to spread our wings and to help you see and re-
member who you really are. Our wings are only for the express purpose of reflecting
the magnificence of humans…helping you hold your space…helping you gain that
confidence as a soul, playing the game of pretending to be a human. All it takes is a
few successes for you to start building upon, because you do this very well. Once you
have had that vibration of success -- of soul confidence -- it is easy for you to add to it,
and make it grow as you move forward. We give you this gift today. We give you this
one piece: to know that you are part of an angelic purpose.

The angelic purpose of the Archangel Michael is truth. It is about helping you to discern
your own truth. When we say the word truth, immediately humans, being of finite
nature, believe there is one truth. No, there are many flavors of the truth. We are not
here to help you find the truth. We are here to help you find YOUR truth. We are not
here to give you your truth. We are not here to tell you what your truth is or to direct you
in a way to where you can find our truth and call it yours. That is not what happens on
the planet of free choice. What happens as angels is we stand back and try to find that
little bit of success you have had, that little piece that makes you giggle whenever you
think about how and wonderful that was. We are able to take that experience, expand
on it and help you to build that energy of success and confidence.

There are many ideas and stories that are told about the angelic realm and the angels
in heaven, and about how we come down and intercede in your world when we are
needed. Angelic intervention was a commonplace event in the beginning of the game,
yet over time has been needed less and less. We come into your lives, we sometimes
work with you in different areas. However, we tell you that the experience is actually
quite different than the way you perceive it. In fact, there is less angelic intervention on
this planet than ever before in history for the very simple reason that humans are getting
closer to Home. You do not need the same type of attention that you used to need from
us. So, we have had to learn to reflect your magnificence in new ways. We no longer
tell you which way to turn or instruct you what to do, or what not to do. Now the best
reflection we can give you is to empower you by building on your own success. This is
what we do, and we are now charging you with that very message. It will give the soul
confidence needed for the shift you are now facing.
Steps into Human Angels
Now it is your turn. You are becoming the Human Angels. That is your next stage in
evolution. Find ways of doing that with each other now, and you will find empowerment
taking hold on this planet like never before. You are at the precipice of change
throughout all of humanity. We have spoken about the re-wiring, as your physical and
energetic structures are totally re-wiring to carry the higher energies of the new Earth.
The human animal is evolving to carry more of the spirit of Home. In order to do that,
there are a lot of adjustments that have to happen concerning your own thought
processes about things that have been true in the past. Much of that we will ask you to
re-think and to find out what is really important in your life. You can do that by first
finding your one little piece of confidence.

We understand that it is very confusing for many of you. We know it is difficult to be a
human. If it were easy, everyone would want to be a human now wouldn’t they? Since
being human is a very difficult job, it was left up to the most ambitious souls to come
down, to put on a veil and pretend to be a human. You are doing a marvelous job, even
when you cannot see who you are or what you are supposed to be doing. That
confidence is there if you will let it through. That is the reminder from Home of who you
really are. If you will let us and the other Human Angels who are working to do so, we
can help to amplify that little bit of success. We can help you to experience that little bit
of confidence that will in turn help you to create even more confidence and success,
while keeping the wind at your back all the while. That is what we are here to do when
you allow us to do so. That is our greatest purpose as angels.

The Lucifer Experiment
Yes, there are many misconceptions about the angelic realm. Let us speak of one in
particular that we love, because humans have such wonderful concepts. It is so
interesting for us to look at ourselves through your eyes. We hope that you can do the
same thing and learn to see yourselves through our eyes. By looking through each
others’ eyes we can evolve and grow together. We are learning by looking at ourselves
through your eyes to be better at what we do, and how to best reach the new humanity.
You are moving so fast at this moment, it is almost like trying to hit a moving target.
The misconception of which we speak has to do with the Lucifer experiment. Let us
explain these events from a different view.

Humanity has been very strongly into polarity; you came in to work with polarity
consciousness. You came in to work with up, down, right, wrong, good, bad, love, and
fear—all the opposites. You only see things when they are total opposites, and you
have a tendency to move in those directions. However, you are not in that area for long
because you are moving out of a field of duality into a field of triality. In triality, all of
those visions will now be balanced, with a stronger connection to the higher self. That
forms the triality that we have been speaking of and it is very magical to watch all of
humanity change the way you are living your daily lives. It is very exciting to watch and
very scary for you to go through sometimes, but you are doing well. You are the ones
that are going to help the others. In the beginning, it was very important for humans to
understand and to see Heaven and Home as a reflection of Earth. Because of this you
have a tendency to put human attributes on the other side of the veil. That is why the
Archangels have names. Is it not interesting that they only have Earth names? They
only have Earth names in the realm that is dealing with Earth. You would not
understand the other names anyway, so trust us.

In the very beginning, in order to give you the illusion-- within your field of polarity--it
was necessary to pretend to play the game of “polarity” in heaven. One of the greatest
angels stepped forward and said, “I will play that role of pretending to be opposite.”
You may never know how difficult of a role that turned out to be. You may never know
the real love that went in to playing that part. That was Lucifer. He stepped up and did
an incredible job of playing the bad guy in heaven. What a wonderful experiment,
because it gave you something to relate to when you tried to remember Home. That is
what it accomplished. More than anything else, you understood the concept of heaven
at that point because there was polarity. You could see polarity, and you understood
Home for the first time. That was the gift of an angel named Lucifer. Dear ones, Lucifer
is Home. Lucifer has done his job and he is back where he belongs as one of the
greatest angels that has ever lived. He is home now because humans no longer need
the drama of polarity consciousness. Humans no longer need an evil entity to motivate
them toward the light. You are much more evolved than that now.

Please know that you still have polarity. You are dealing with polarity daily. A lot of you
have clients who are stuck in polarity situations, or polarity belief systems, that they
have difficulty getting out of. What we tell you is that if you understand that all of it is
based on your confidence as a soul, that is what works. That is where your
empowerment is. That is the gift that Lucifer gave you. By allowing him to play that
role, to come back into the family afterward and to be a part of this whole process was
absolutely incredible—not only for him, but for you because it gave you gifts you could
not get any other way. Here you are walking with this little piece that is missing inside of
you. Look as you might, there is always this one little part when you look in the mirror
you say, “Who is that? What am I doing? Where am I going? What am I supposed to
be?” You ask all of these questions to know your destination. Understand the journey
first, for that is the truth of your path. The destination is only the conclusion of the
journey. You do not reach the destination until you come Home.

We ask you not to live your entire lives with the anticipation of going Home. What a sad
journey that would be, because there is so much beauty on your path. There is so
much that you are starting to comprehend and understand about where you are and
what you can do. It is exciting watching you step into your empowerment. There is now
so much that you will start to understand about the light within the dark side. Your
darkness has always been a lacking. Your darkness has always been a secret, a sort
of vacuum that attracts all the ambient energy floating around and sucks it into a hole
that you created from your fear. Now you are starting to move into a field of triality--
particularly those of you who receive this message. for there are a select few who are
leading the way vibrationally and carrying this energy to the rest of humanity.

The Game is Changing
Let us ask you to first find that unique part of yourself that you can share with others, for
that is what will give you confidence. That is what will help you complete the process.
You did well, dear ones. You have worked through an entire game that you have laid
out. You have set the rules, you have set the possibilities, you have set the direction of
how you were going to play the game, and now you are finding the whole thing
changing on you. Just about the time you were getting quite good at playing the game,
the game is changing. You are the ones who set this all into motion. You are the ones
who are taking the next step; you are doing so through your own re-wiring process and
also through your thoughts. Humans, you now have possibilities to hold thoughts and to
carry visions, ideas and concepts that you could not even conceive of only a few years
ago. You have moved so rapidly, and sometimes we ask you to please take that slow
escalator over there because it will help you acclimate to the energy. But no, you have
to jump on the express elevator and shoot up 600 floors at one time and try to walk
when you get out…and you cannot figure out why being human is so hard.

You are ambitious Human Angels and we love you so much. Do you understand that
you are in an evolutionary process? Do you understand that as you evolve you will end
up in our jobs? That is where you are going and it has never happened in this fashion
before. You will be the angels to the second planet of free choice, dear ones, and you
will experience both the joy and the frustrations, plus all the fun things that we get to
experience with you. Do not wait. Step into it now. Make a commitment to yourself to
first hold that piece of confidence no matter how small it is. That confidence connects
you to Home, to the Family of Michael,, to all other families and all angelic purpose.
Know that it is entirely possible for humans to be members of several different families
on this side of the veil. There is no competition or exclusion. The idea is to be of the
highest service, to be here to help spread our wings to reflect your magnificence, and to
help you re-member who you are. There are times when you look in the mirror and you
cannot see who you are and sometimes the tears come because you feel so alone. On
those days the veil is thick. Every once in a while, that little smile cracks in the corner of
your lips, and you start to see through the veil. On some level you remember that it is a
game you are playing and life flows easily. Those are the moments when we are
spreading our wings in your honor and direction. That is our personal gift to you. You
have an opportunity to be of highest service as a soul in the days just ahead of you. If
you choose to step into your future, we will be there to help you awaken from the
dream. You are can make a difference on this planet. We promise you that.


You have already completed the game of free choice, and yet here you are asking,
“What can I do? How can I make the next step? How can I help others around me
make the next step?” We stand with such pride looking at you when you do that,
knowing that you are after our jobs. We will gladly give them to you. Enjoy the ride. Do
not forget to laugh whenever you can. It is the part that balances all the energy and
brings you Home again. Understand that you are in the Family of Michael. It is a
birthright. It is something you have done over and over and over again. It is part of the
process. It is where you came from. When you find those little memories, use them in
some way. Bring them Home, express them in your life and gain that tiny bit of
confidence that can grow and help build upon that piece of success. That steps you into
being the Human Angel; that carries you into taking your next step on the planet of free
choice. The ascension process is not about ascending to go Home; it is about
ascending to be in a higher vibrational status while you are still here on this planet.
What would it be like to be an angel and to have all the gifts, all the powers, all the
unique abilities of the angelic realm while you were still here in these physical bodies?
We asked you that question on purpose because you will answer it. That is where you
are going. Enjoy the ride.

We leave you with three little reminders. Treat each other with the greatest respect for
you are part of each other. Nurture one another at every opportunity because that will
build on that success. Know that it is a beautiful game and play well together.

The Guardians - Candles in The Wind

Candles in The Wind

June 16, 2007

Michelle asked, The work is getting harder. It is easy to fall into the spiral of fear these days. Myself and other lightworkers are very concerned with what we see happening in the Bush administration - especially when you really start uncovering what's going on. Are we doomed to repeat another Germany and the regime that controlled that country? I know a lot is illusion. I do believe there is much that is going on in other dimensions that we are not aware of. But is Bush becoming a dictator part of what will happen before all gets better? (please understand: I know this is a somewhat un-enlightened question but it's a sticking point for many of us) Thank you Laura so much for all you do. Immense love to you and the Guardians In Gratitude, Michelle

The Guardians answer,
Blessings Michelle,

I know exactly what you are talking about. There are times when I think "How blissful is ignorance and to be unaware of what is really going on!"

But that is not what we as Lightworkers signed up for, we are the torch bearers, the standards, the ones that chose to come to Earth and shine the Light so others could awaken to their own truth with greater ease and grace.

The Guardians show me many things through the course of their messages that are impossible to put on paper, feelings, different views and pictures of many alternatives and possibilities that can happen depending on the individual and collective choices we make over the next several years. Some are, well what could be considered more fearful than others, but what is really important is that they are never sent to me that way. The Guardians never wrap things in fearful thoughts or feelings. It's very difficult to explain in words.

It's like standing on a hill top, safe and secure looking down over the valley and seeing all the chaos and confusion and knowing with out question that everything is as it should be and will be no matter way happens. It's like look past the valley and seeing the sun rising over the ridge behind it and feeling a deep unconditional love and security. It's a knowingness that no matter how difficult and challenging things get that it is all for the best in the end and the Light will shine more brightly and fully than ever before.

I feel the main thing is that people in general will be asked to make choices like never before, sitting on the fence and saying it's the other guys problem will no longer be an option. To put it in the coarse's terms it's "Put up or shut up" time and we all will create our individual realities within the collective depending on what choices we make for ourselves.

Armageddon = Apocalypse

Apocalypse really means:

Apocalypse (Greek: APOKALYPSIS) literally: the lifting of the veil, is a term applied to the disclosure to certain persons of something hidden from the mass of humankind.

In other words the exposure of the truth which has been hidden from humankind.

That is definitely underway.

So you see all those who are in Fear of the "End Times" and "Armageddon" and the "Apocalypse" being upon us are correct to a point but the vast majority don't really know what it means.

They see it as the total destruction of the world instead of it's true meaning "the lifting of the veil".

So in truth, it is NOT a message of Fear but the "Greatest Ever Message of Hope, Truth and Peace!".

There will undoubtedly be difficulties and turmoil but remember the view from the hill top I told you about?

That is the true gift and strength of all Lightworkers. This ability to be fully aware of what is happening but to stand outside the chaos as a compassionate observer ready to assist all those who choose for themselves a different path than fear and loathing.

We can not drag them kicking and screaming to a different level of awareness, they must choose it for themselves and we must ready ourselves to be that "candle of hope" and peace in the darkest of times.

The wonderful thing is that no matter how strong the wind blows, the earth shakes or the seas roar "our candle will never be extinguished". Our Light will shine so strong and bright that it will wash away all Fear and Doubt from those who choose to gaze upon it.

There will be those who choose to leave but that is their choice and they are simply returning Home! Fear not for them. The rest will make their way through this journey in their own way and in their own time.

The whole scope of how the World is fashioned will change and it will be a Brave New World but not as the those who still cling to their thoughts of power and control over others envision it.

It will be a "One World Order" but it will be nothing like the plans they have toiled so long and hard to create with them holding all the power, wealth, control and having all others in servitude to their leadership and domination.

It will be a World of One Unity of heart, mind and spirit with each offering their own special unique gifts to each other and the Unity of all Humankind! Each with the Divine Freedom to walk and create their path on Earth in the highest good for themselves.

You have asked for specifics and The Guardians will not take our power or our choices away by giving what you ask, they wish us to create our own future in the Light of our own knowingness. All those on the other side of the veil send us a constant stream of unconditional love to enable us to do just that for ourselves with out any agenda or control involved.

We hold you in our Heart of Hearts and ask you to do the same for each other.

Blessings one and all...

The Guardians

Moving On and Beyond the Toxic People and Circumstances in Your Life

Moving On and Beyond the Toxic People and Circumstances in Your Life

by Eugenia Tripputi

I strongly believe that each of us is on this planet to learn lessons of spirit and grow our souls. In this journey one calls life, one encounters all sorts of challenges and people who will test our strength, challenge our beliefs, rock our foundation, and makes us doubt ourselves. Interestingly enough, these times and people they seem to come in “bunches” make keeping our inner balance much more challenging… But not impossible!

The related scenarios I have personally experienced have to do with illnesses that hit us unexpectedly and then finds out one has to live with them for the rest of our lives. Furthermore, the people who were our “good friends” when they thought one could be of use to them but turn into our backstabbing enemies –even making hurtful stories about us- and disposing of our persona as if we were an outdated magazine. Or… how about that brother, sister, mother, or other relative and friends who used to be close to us but are too busy to call now that one needs them the most, but they cannot handle seeing us in pain?

Life is not easy, that’s for sure! And, to my naïve nature of caring about others, it took me a very long time to realize that there are people “out there” who are just mean, cruel, and built out of pure toxic material. “Unbelievable,” I thought and resisted for a long time… but unfortunately, true. And just like a single rotten apple can spoil others, this toxicity, although it might not get to one’s core, can make a person’s life miserable until one makes the choice to cut the losses and move on.

Here are some lessons learned to keep one’s life free of toxicity, the mind sane in times of cruelty, and the body healthy when there is plenty of spiritual poison at work or in one’s personal life to go around:

Assess your pros and cons. Take a careful look at your current circumstances: is staying in this job or relationship worth your suffering and its consequences? Only each person knows the right answer to this question. For example, many individuals stay with employers because of huge benefits, unsurpassable compensation packages, or retirement plans that cannot be matched. They decide that these material things are worth sacrificing just about anything. I have often termed this situation “wearing the golden handcuffs,” and I propose that one takes a careful look at the price of these tempting but deceiving benefits. After all, if the situation is so toxic that it affects one’s health at all levels, one might not last or live long enough to be around to enjoy the outcome! And… how about enjoying today, which is the only day we have for sure?

Forgive. To be able to move on, one has to learn to forgive not only the person (or people) who have done one wrong but also oneself. A person is not at fault when he or she encounters cruel and vicious people in his or her path. One has no control over other people’s nature and behavior. Remember that there is a lesson to be learned in each of these situations, which might not be apparent right away. By holding on to what was done onto us, one “feeds the monster” with the same poison one was given. By forgiving and choosing to move on, one takes the power back to morph it into positive energy. Isn’t it amazing we have the equivalent of “spiritual photosynthesis”?

Don’t forget, but work on “moving on.” However, forgiving does not mean forgetting. One must learn from each of these experiences, otherwise, one runs the risk of repeating the same scenario in other relationships or situations. Work at understanding the lessons in the experience, write them down, process them with a friend, and make a conscious effort to focus your personal energies into the future. If one makes the brave choice to break the “golden handcuffs,” reap the benefits! It is tempting and easy to get stuck in the victim or “look-what-was-done-to-me” mode. Without undermining the severity of many of these situations, one only hurts oneself but obsessing about justice done onto those undesirables. The “universe,” or whichever word one chooses to describe the “higher power,” will take care of them sooner or later, even if one is not there to see that justice has been served, one must trust to be able to move on.

Circumstances do not define you, unless you allow them to do so. One of the unfortunate consequences of these experiences with toxicity is that most individuals take it personally and question themselves in this process. No doubt one has responsibility in the life, yet when it comes to toxic people and workplaces, there is little one can do. It can be very confusing, though, since the poison is the norm one experiences every day, it is not until one leaves the environment that one is able to find one’s true self again.

Kindness still exists, and it is up to each individual to make sure one spreads it as much as the “bad stuff.” Under difficult circumstances, one may be tempted to blame oneself. Take your power back! You deserve a life that is meaningful and toxin-free. It is up to you to make that choice. And as the wise Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission.”

Thought for Today - Truth

Truth

To follow someone else's truth is a trap. The best strategy is to know your own truth, face it and live by it. Others may inspire, guide, give you directions, but ultimately you have to cut your own way through the jungle. You could always be asking others where North is, and they will tell you. Someone will say North is this way and someone else that North is that other way - and both would have been sincere. But you alone has to find your true North.

St, Germain 15-June-2007

St, Germain 15-June-2007

As you go about your daily routine, you are often remote from the greater happenings. You become engrossed in the matters of the day that often fully occupy your attention. This is why it is so important that you allow time for yourself and your own thoughts. Each day it is a useful exercise to ask what you have learnt from it. Perhaps you have been required to do things against your better judgement, or had less than desirable contact with other beings.

Wherever you are and no matter what you are doing, you are continually forced to consider your actions and those of others. It is not always possible to change the ways of others, but you can project forward ideas of your own. It is the continual changes in people’s consciousness that eventually decides their approach and attitude to others. Mass consciousness is therefore also continually changing, and it has a general effect that moves large numbers of people towards a new way of expressing themselves.

The influences upon Earth are a dominant factor, and a critical player in them is your media. You are becoming more discerning, and through your ability to analyze matters can see through the false information that is fed to you as the truth. From a higher level you are given every help to enable you to ascertain the truth, and it largely takes the form of direct influence through your Guides. In a more general manner there are the uplifting energies that are continually being played upon you from the Realms of Light. The battle of Light and dark is a personal one, but it also determines the state of your Mass Consciousness.

The value of what you are offered can be summed up inasmuch that if it causes harm to another, then it is of the dark energies. Man has levels of acceptance that have been imposed upon him, and many never question what they are expected to do. Of course, where your livelihood is concerned it is necessary to be cautious, but there are always opportunities to make a subtle point. It is talking amongst yourselves that moulds attitudes of mind, where often the majority opinion holds sway.

People ask what they can do to change things, and there are numerous ways including the political process, and exchange of information on your Internet. With the intent to become active in this way, you will certainly find an outlet for your thoughts. You may have heard that through prayer or meditation you have a direct line to God, and this is absolutely true. Although it may surprise you it is instantaneous, and back through your Higher Self you will get a response. The problem for you at times is that you expect to receive exactly what you have requested, and tend to ignore any other response. Also, some answers to your requests require solutions that take time to manifest.

Man has always had a tendency to be impatient where the answer to prayers are concerned. Realize that your life is closely intertwined with others, and there has to be an overall consideration as to your effect upon them. There is additionally a karmic plan for your life that has been agreed by you, and although you may try to alter it you will be guided to follow that pre-ordained path. Freewill does not give you carte blanche where karma is concerned, as it will always remain as a task that you will be required to experience.

At this critical time Mankind is at the crossroads, and it would be so easy to “follow the leader”. If however you are to determine your own future, you must now exercise your own power so that decisions become yours alone. The power of thought is not fully understood, yet is operating with or without your co-operation, and laying down your future reality. Some look elsewhere for guidance, but look within where you already have the answers you seek.

Although Man loves to belong to groups particularly where you are of a like kind, often his greatest achievements are a result of communion with himself. You ask questions and sometimes answers are not always provided in the way you expect, as they can be in a symbolic form or enacted in your dreams. Generally dreams are vague ramblings of your waking mind, but every so often you will find one that clearly impinges itself upon your consciousness. Take note of these as they usually have a message for you. On other occasions you may be drawn to other people who you have been led to you, and can be instrumental in providing what it is you require.

Life is really quite simple if you know how things work, and as I have informed you the best advice and help comes from within. With the hectic lifestyles some of you have it is difficult to find those quiet moments that are essential for you. However, do try and set aside a little time every day to reflect on what you have learnt. It is also an ideal time to contemplate solutions to problems that are unresolved. When you are releasing the hundred and one thoughts that keep passing through your minds you can center on Self, and guidance can more easily come through.

Many souls are at this time are in a quandary, as they sense the changes and it makes them feel unsettled and sometimes agitated. They are often standing at the door of Truth, but cannot see that they enter it through Self. Help can be given by others, but they are also seeking their own path. By all means listen and note what appears to be sound advice, but at the end of the day – go within. You are all individuals and rarely do two think alike but wisdom can be found in many souls, and even those who do not otherwise claim to be spiritually inspired. Experience is the tool that advances your evolution, and is this not why your elders are revered.

The lessons of life revolve around the understanding of your ability to express your love towards all other life forms. When you can reach a level of expressing Unconditional Love, you will have no further need to experience in duality. Your vibrations will automatically unite you with those energies in the higher dimensions. You will have returned to levels that are the home of Light Beings. This is your natural evolutionary path and Ascension is the stepping-stone that lifts you up. Live in your love and give of it freely, and know that you are blessed by the Great Beings that are guiding Humanity back to Source.

Thank you St. Germain.

The World Has Been Waiting for You

The World Has Been Waiting for You

God said:

What did you think you were doing here on Earth anyway?

You are here for play but not for sport. Life is not something you
win. You have already won it. You have already come in. There is no
first nor last. The world is yours as much as it is anyone's. You have
every right here. It has been ordained that you would visit on Earth,
and that you would make Earth and your visit lovely. You are a
precursor of the world to come.

It is not you against the world. It is not you against anything. It is
you with everything, with everything you have to give. And that is a
lot. You came here to give joy to the world. You are the harbinger of
spring.

You did not come here to wrest anything from the world. Where did you
get that idea? You are here to serve the world. You serve it with your
heart of love.

The world has been waiting for you to uplift it. It has been waiting
for you to reveal what love and joy are. The world waits for
revelation from you. How simple a task you have. Your heart is like a
pitcher of sweet cream, and all you have to do is pour it. The more
you pour from this infinite pitcher, the more there is to pour. You
pour cream for the world. Have you thought that the world was to pour
the cream for you?

The cream in the pitcher of your heart stays fresh as you pour it. It
cannot curdle so long as it is ever-pouring. Pour to your heart's
content. Pour out your heart's contents. Just keep pouring. Let the
world swim in the outpouring of sweetness from the fullness of your
heart. As you pour love out into the world, the world floats in love,
and so do you. This is the medium of the universe, the love you pour.
What you pour, you drink. How simple is the universe.

This is the easy natural way to live life. There is no effort in
pouring. The pitcher is light. You simply tip it and let it pour.

The sun never tires in pouring itself out across the universe. Each
day is new. It is a mirage that the sun sets. It never stops rising.
And so the current of love in your heart is to ever-rise, proclaiming
itself the love of God. The love of God, the love from God, God's love
in you, esplanades itself across the universe, All hearts are
outpourings of God. God's pure love is rampant. Let not your heart be
stopped up. Why would you be stingy with your heart of love that is
God's offering to the world? Did you think love was yours to withhold?
Beloveds, it is yours to give and give and give. There is to be no
pause to your heart. It was made for love. The key to love surges in
your own heart. Let that heart of yours circulate itself to the world.
Let it deliver the love it is meant to. There is no situation that
your heart cannot deliver love to or from. Limitless is the love in
your heart, and now you release it fully.

Do not save your heart for a rainy day There are no rainy days when
your heart pours its love out. Do not be sparse with your love. Be
generous instead. You are full of love. Keep pouring until the world
is full of it. Is there something else you should be doing?

The Purpose of Life

The Purpose of Life

by E. Raymond Rock

If we consider our purposes in life, there are many. Our purpose might be to become a doctor and heal the body or a priest and heal the soul, perhaps a gardener, or a bartender — we all have our particular purpose in life, all helping each other either directly or indirectly. Even if we never have contact with another human being, we have to eat, and that helps the farmer. So maybe we should restructure the question of what is the purpose of life; what we really want to know is what lies at the end of the road — why are we going through all of this?

Even a cursory investigation of life reveals that this life of ours is defined as conflict. Denying this self-evident fact would be an indication of the deepest of delusions because without conflict, existence would cease to be. Every time an object is presented to one of our sense organs (a sight, a smell, a taste, a sound, a touch, a thought), we are in conflict, When universal awareness, which is beyond individual bodies and minds, contacts an object, we become conscious of it through our bodies. Awareness plus an object = consciousness. Until an object is presented to one of our sense organs, we are not conscious, and after we become conscious, we are in conflict.

We are in conflict because when presented with an object, the first thing we do is compare it to what we know from the past, and then we categorize it. Following this, we must decide whether we like the object or dislike it. If we dislike it, we must figure how to get rid of it, and if we like it, we must find a way to secure it. This all happens in the smallest fraction of a second, and every step is conflict, because every step involves decisions.

The root of decision-making is choosing one thing over another. Choice, therefore, defines our existence, and every choice is a conflict. We make endless choices every day, beginning with whether or not we should get up in the morning, then what clothes to wear, what to eat, where to go, and on and on. Without conflict, there would be no action taken to resolve the conflicts, or to carry out the choices that we make.

So, is this the purpose of life — conflict? Or is conflict merely a result of being born with senses? This is a good question, a “catch 22,” and the answer may be a clue as to the real purpose of life.

Could it be that the real purpose of life is to resolve all conflict so that we could be at peace? If this is true, and if life is, in fact, defined as conflict, then it is only logical that the end of conflict, or the peace that we search for, can only be attained outside of life, or existence as we know it.

This would negate our body and minds surviving death, because our bodies and minds are the machinery of conflict. Therefore, at the end of the day, or at the end of the road, perhaps we have to give up this body and mind, our memories and thoughts, our feelings and our senses — if we want to get past conflict. But if we do this, what is left? This is a very fundamental question, and one that might be another clue as to what lies at the end of our road.

What if we could find out what it is that’s at the end of the road while still traveling toward it? What if we could experience what it would be like to be void of senses yet completely aware, but without conflict? What if being in that state could mystically reveal to us the next world beyond existence, so that after it is revealed, we become something quite different from what we were before the experience? But how could we do this?

This must be the way of finding out the true purpose of life. All other ways that we have tried — our beliefs and ideals — have merely kept us in the dark about our destiny, have kept us guessing or relying on someone else’s ideas.

Maybe its time to become really proactive about this inquiry into our real purpose of life. Maybe its time to begin our inner journey, because nobody can ever tell us what is our purpose of life, and that’s the beauty of the true purpose; you must find it for yourself. Then you will believe it.

Overcome Self Sabotage and Get What You Really Want

Overcome Self Sabotage and Get What You Really Want

by May Chew

Self sabotage is often unobtrusive, and self sabotaging behaviors can be disguised in multiple ways. Most of the time, we do not realize that we are sabotaging ourselves, until we stop and think.

Do you find yourself struggling to achieve results but not really succeeding? Have you ever told yourself that you are doing to make it and succeed, but in spite of telling yourself this, you don't finish what you intended to do? Do you find yourself constantly struggling? Do you feel that people are constantly criticizing you? Do you put yourself down at every opportunity?

Or you've finally met someone who is right for you, but somehow you tend to make it go wrong. On examining further, you realize that deep down in side, you didn't believe you deserve this person . It has happened again with your relationships.

Or, financially, you finally made some money. Your bank account is fattened temporarily. But then you go and spend it or make an investment that is unwise, and the money seems to disappear back to the old level again. Subconsciously, you don't believe that you deserve this amount of money.

You would like to have what you want, but it seems like you are not able to control your self sabotaging behavior. It is unconscious, ingrained in your habit and action cycle. So much so that you tend to become comfortable with not succeeding, even though the desire to succeed has been there from the beginning.

Self sabotage behavior can also be related to childhood experiences, like molestation as a child. Or to parents having high expectations. Or a culture of blame. Or having made a mistake that had negative impact your friends or at work
