Asa: Service, Joy and Steps on the
Path,
continued
If you were to
be working in a fast food place, it would be important for you to have the
desire to provide the most flavour-full food that you could; to be at the
work that you are doing because of the opportunity of meeting pleasant
people and making their day a little better and, indeed, an individual with
that attitude finds that customers are always charming, are always glad to
see them. Whereas an individual who is there simply to put in time and
grumbling about it, one who is there because the options that they see – or
do not see – in their lives require that they be there and they are there
grumbling and complaining, they will find that not only does the food not
taste good to them, but their customers will think “… hmmm, it is a little
off.”
It is the intention that has the
greatest value. Why would you do what you do?
For the money? In the world in which you live it is a consideration, but I
submit that it is not the primary consideration.
Because you have to? Well, considering other choices, it may be because you
have to, but there are people in this world who find others to provide for
them.
Your service, my Friends, is the
rent you pay for the privilege of being here incarnate. It is important that
you realize that not every Soul who simply says, “Hmmm, for this next 20
years, I think I will be incarnate,” not all are permitted. It is, indeed, a
privilege to be here.
There are 6 billion plus people
on the planet at this point in time - more than have ever been present at any
other time. That is a fact. But there are still more on the spirit side of
life who could have chosen, who could have said, “yes, I would like to … “
Many have said, “I give up my place this time, but I will join with you, I
will partner with you. I will offer you my guidance and my love and my
encouragement.”
And you have said, “That is
excellent and I accept.”
So do not
think that this is an accident. Do not think that it was a matter of sending
a memo to the Most High and it being rubber-stamped. There were meetings.
There were discussions. Each and every one of you has a Council of Twelve.
Carolyn Myss recounts them and relates them to you as your archetypes. There
is much to be recommended in her book, “Sacred Contracts.” It will
give you great insight.
Nonetheless, there was as we have
said, much discussion and part of that discussion involved: what would you
do? How would you be? What gift would you give to the growth of the planet,
to all individuals on the planet incarnate with you? And we are speaking,
not just of humans. We are speaking of the life of the planet herself to
which every individual present on the planet has a linkage – the
consciousness of Mother Earth is where the collective consciousness resides.
And within that consciousness and linked to it and linked thereby to each
and every one of you is the consciousness of the mineral kingdom. Each of
you has spent your time in mineral form. You have spent your time in mineral
form as you learn organization and as you learn to grow in an organized
manner. As you learn different roles of service through the crystalline
forms that you chose. And then your evolution proceeds.
And your evolution proceeded to
the plant kingdom and their main theme of life and energy is, indeed,
growth. It is transmitting and transmuting energy from one frequency, from
one vibration into another and into another. The vibration of the Sun
through photosynthesis is part of this example. And they learned that that
was how they could feed and grow, but even so, plants knew that they must
give to the world in payment, in kind, in return for what was given to them.
And therefore, they oxygenate the planet. There is the ebb and flow, the
ever-change of the gases that support the growth of life on this planet.
With your learning, do you see how plants also have a role beyond merely
assisting the breathing space? It is when you are a plant that you learn
about breathing. It is not so complex a matter; it is bringing in Spirit –
inspiration: that is what it means – in spirit: and so you bring in the
energy of Spirit. And it supports all your needs.
But plants bring beauty and they
bring food and they bring health – and this they do as well to be of
service.
Then through the eons of your
evolution, you took form in the animal kingdom. You learned about movement
and in many ways you learned about gender and you learned about family and
you learned about variety. But mostly you learned about movement – about
beginning in one place and travelling to another; about coming together
either for one purpose – for one week, for propagation and then not seeing
the partner – or coming together in groups, in families. Some of you took on
the flying forms and learned to elevate your energy and move beyond being
earthbound. But all of this was learning, learning in conjunction with the
planet.
And the
animals here present today come with their role of service as well. Each
time they come, in this century and the previous one, they come as an
offering. They come asking that you become more evolved and start that with
your treatment of them.
The horse – of all the animals on
the planet, this one strikes the hearts of far, far more for its freedom,
its beauty, its wisdom, its willingness to carry you on its back – to carry
you, to move you forward, to stand as a representative of your personal
power. And when Horse is diminished and wounded and abused, you do this to
Horse as a sign that you are doing this to others who are your Self.
One of the most delightful
representatives of enlightened behaviour, the natural energy state, the
natural intention of the Dog is unconditional Love. That there are dogs who
attack unprovoked, who are trained to look on others except one as an enemy
is a complete abuse of the interactive nature between humans. The
difficulties with dogs these days are directly linked to the refusal … to
co-operate with but … indeed the aggression to attack others of your own
kind.
There have been a great many
months of struggle and despair with Mad Cow disease and the Bird flu. These
are directly linked, as has been told, to the attempts by man to make these
creatures into something they are not: Putting animal parts into food and
making grass eaters – vegetarians – into carnivores. They have no voice.
They have no advocate and so they sicken because it drives their purpose for
being here to a state of insanity and it is the only way that it can be
brought to your attention. When creatures, supposedly the most evolved – you
tell each other that do you not? – The most evolved on the planet and when
you continue year after year after decade to abuse and harm and hurt each
other in the name of a God as part of your role, your service, it poisons
all creatures all round and you wind up with a situation in Ireland where
they have had Mad Cow disease for 14 years and it is not abating.
My Friends, do you see the
lessons that they are trying to teach you?
They are asking you to become
aware of what you are being presented with… for the individual who says, “I did not know; I did not see; I did not understand. They gave it to me and
I said, ‘yes,’ but I did not question the source.”
You are, by your silence,
condoning what is being done. And so these dreadful examples come blatantly
in the headlines that you might begin to question. That you might say, “It is important that this be done appropriately. It is important that I too
be involved in ensuring that what is done to my other partners on the
planet; that is, what is done
– theoretically to benefit me, to
provide for me – is done in such a way that it can, indeed, benefit me.”
The animals die, not only because
they would not be carnivore, but because they would not poison you any
further. They are advocating participation. They are trying to speak to you.
They are using every means they can in their service to you. And through
their example, they are hoping to inspire not only that you will demand an
accounting and that you will require appropriate treatment, but also that
you will look at what you do and say, “What is my intention here? What is
my service here? Why have I chosen to do what I have chosen to do?”
And I suggest to you that there
is only one valid reason why you would do what you do. Because it brings
Joy.
If you are doing something solely
because you have to do it, my Friends, what is the energy that is
happening here? A bright and wonderful Light in this city by the name of
Agnnes Krawec loves to tell the story of her sister who hates to cook and
herself who loves to cook. The story goes that Agnnes and her sister took a
cake mix and divided it in half and each of them baked the cake according to
directions with appropriate changes in amounts. Agnnes’s sister’s cake
barely reached the top of the pan when it was finished and she said, “Oh
well, I hate to cook anyway, you know that.”
But Agnnes’s cake rose high and
light and flavour-full because she loves to cook. The quality of the result
is absolutely demonstrated.
You may be able to fool yourself.
You may be able to say, ‘I do this because I have to do this,’ but we ask
you to review it, to look at it, to seek a brighter way, to seek a way that
brings you joy. It is why you are here on the planet.
You are here to evolve your Soul
through the higher qualities and Laughter and Joy and Enjoyment in what you
do and what you think and what you say and where you go and who you
associate with – all of these, either further your evolvement or delay it.
So this evening, I ask you, each
and every day as you rise to greet your day, declare and decide for
yourself:
What one thing
today are you going to do for the joy of it, for the fun of it, just because
it pleases you to do it?
And then see how far in the day
you can stretch that behaviour…
Can you
do it more than once? Can you do it all day long? If you can’t, there is
part of the day that needs work!
As you go to sleep at night, look
back and find the satisfaction…
Did
somebody need directions and you knew the answer? Didn’t it make you feel
good?
Did you choose to
be a channel for understanding and you gave that understanding to yourself
only perhaps. But if you understand something in a better way, if you
understand something and it makes your steps more smooth, easier to move,
then that radiance from you brings a greater degree of understanding to
others.
You are very “chatty” people; you
love to talk. You love to think and vibrate with your thoughts. Ninety-three
percent of your communications, my Friends, is vibratory. Hiding in a closet
with the lights out, you are still radiating a certain thought-form, a
feeling, an attitude and others are reflecting or responding or reacting to
that. You cannot help but serve others every moment that you are here. The
choice is to what degree, in what quality, in what way.
And your Guides and Guardians,
the Angels gathered around each and everyone of you, spend a great deal of
time inspiring you, encouraging you, dropping hints at your feet. “What
shall I do? What could I do? What is my next step?”
For many, many people these days,
that is a powerful question:
“I’m here; I’ve just gone through
several weeks of uncertainty. I just feel like since November somebody
dropped a brick on my head.”
There is turmoil; there is chaos. There is the drive to go within and come
to a greater understanding. In the past month, and continuing until the end
of this month, there has been a very powerful energy. It is one of the
reasons that we have chosen to speak to you on this night – the night of the
Seventeen. In the Tarot, this is the Star and this card links the spiritual
side of Life with each and every one of you here incarnate. If you have been
finding spiritual thoughts coming up, a seeking for guidance, a desire to
understand “what am I supposed to do?” that is the purpose of this
period of time.
Seventeen is also the vibration
of the Star of Venus and Venus, of course, represents Love but even deeper
than that Venus represents your values, represents your resources. How do
you value yourself?
For you cannot be of the highest
pure service to the Most High, the Living, Loving God, Allah, Buddha,
however you identify Him to be – you cannot be of service to that Greatness,
to your cousin, your brother, your love-mate or even to yourself unless you
are able to love and cherish yourself. All these people who have been
annoying you are trying to tell you that you could love yourself a little
more.
Have you been experiencing
discouragement, uncertainty, perhaps an unbalanced feeling in the body? Have
you found it is more difficult to bring your energy up to where you would
like it to be?
All of this is encouraging you to
look deeply within. It comes about because you believe you are separate. It
is wonderful to feel unique and special and one alone – except for the alone
part – and I say to you that even though you accept and understand and know
and believe to your very depths that you cannot be separate from the God of
Your Understanding that you are – as a glass of ocean water is the same as
the ocean – you are that one-ness and you cannot be separated from it except
through your choice.
Actual fact: no separation.
But even so… you are still unique
for each and every wave of the ocean has its own conformation, has its own
energy, has its own way of moving through the water, perhaps of coming up
onto the shore. Do not feel that you must give up being unique in order to
accept that you are One with the Most High.
Well. We have been quite serious.
It is time to look toward a brighter side. I wish each of you to know that
what you have chosen as your life service, going deeper than the pay cheque
to pay cheque role that you play, going deeper than the interactions between
yourselves and your friends, yourselves and your partners, yourselves and
your pets, the grocery clerk and any other individual that you might meet,
yourselves and the trees in your yard, going deeper than that, you are
flames of the Light of the Most High.
Your purpose here is to step
beyond an ordinary life. To find a way and a means of living your life that
brings a worthiness, that encourages you to shine brightly, to radiate a
smile, who cares if you don’t know that guy, smile anyway. It is not a
promise of marriage and it is most definitely not an obligation, it is a
smile. It is a bright energy; it is an encouragement and you never know, my
Friends, you never know if that one momentary action – that “ping” of “I saw
you and I noticed you” – is enough to make life desire to continue. You
never know the impact that you will have but I say to you that each and
every one of you has come with an extra purpose and that purpose is to say
the word that needs to be said, to offer the invitation, to be of help, to
encourage someone just because they happen to be there: standing at a bus
stop trying not to drown in the rain. And someone says, ‘wonderful weather!’
and you say, ‘yes, but I really wish it was brighter about it!’
To smile, not to stand there in
your gloom. There is lots of gloom going around, you don’t need to add to
it.
For as surely as you drop a thank
you to a bus driver, an open door to a younger or older person, a ‘hello’ to
the man vending “Our Voice” – an interesting read by the way – what
you do in the moments that you hardly even notice, can have an impact for
others because it is you. Because it is the vibration that you have;
because it is that extra encouragement, that sparkle, that twist, that
polish with which you do these things. You have spent many, many,
many lifetimes working on yourselves, working to improve, working at times
to stand up for what you thought then was your good and entirely appropriate
for the life that it was.
[We are not here laying blame for
lives where you fell. Everyone gets to fall so do not worry about that.
Indeed, even in this lifetime, when and if you fall – and there are many of
you who will do so, do not harass and hound yourself, do not refuse
forgiveness of yourself for the falling.]
You might want
to give yourself a lecture if you stay down there in the mud and the mire,
but when you realize that you have mis-stepped, that you did something that
you would take back or that you didn’t do something that – if you could –
you would, acknowledge it. Forgive yourself for it. Ask that memory to
remind you when you get close to doing it again, that it will inspire you to
do what you wish you had done. That is the next step.
Being very clear on where you
wish to go; how you wish to live your life. The love and encouragement that
you get to share it with every individual you meet. There are lots more
where that came from! You do not need to be stingy with your happiness, with
your passion. You are creatures born of Love.
Every single one of you entered
this world because of Love. You have a heart chakra at the centre of your
Being because it is the centre of your life. It is the centre of your role.
It is the central reason for incarnating. It is why the entire universe was
created…
For God so loved Itself…
That It wished to experience –
ALL. To go beyond knowing; to go beyond being. To become the Experiencer and
you and you and you – every one of you, every one here present, every one
present planetarily are part of that Love
and that curiosity.
***Laughs*** Why do you think you
have curiosity in such abundance?
It is part of the nature of All
That Is.
So how do you take your next
step?
If you are in a positive space,
if you have your life plan laid out and you know exactly what university,
what course, et cetera, et cetera – wonderful! But expect that you are going
to get some detours and you might get the rug pulled out from under you once
in a while – not necessarily to bruise you but to see how flexible you can
be. How dedicated are you to your only way – one way only?
How willing are you to expand, to
accept that there is not just one star and you are that star but there are
many, many stars and you can radiate in many ways?
The life span of the individuals
on this planet gives them the opportunity to experience seven to nine
distinct careers. The way of the world with its ever-increasing flexibility
and changes ***Laughs*** is encouraging more careers because it gives you
more options for growth, because it allows you to learn more, to be more, to
reach more, to become more, to love more.
One of the greatest barriers to
the next step on the path is a misunderstanding that is encouraged by a
control agent and you have, each of you, an individual energy within you
that would see this happen. In ways it is an offshoot of your ego-mind that
would wish you to follow its agenda [you have heard this part before]: that
it is your fear that holds you back.
I say to you that it is your fear
that is your best friend, provided you keep it your servant. Its job
is to warn you not to touch the stove. Its job is not to say, “Don’t ever
cook! Stoves are dangerous! They’ll leap out at you! Stay away from them!”
That’s not fear’s job…
Fear’s job is to be brave enough
to stand up to you and say: “I don’t think this is a right choice.”
And it’s your job to say: “OK,
I’ve listened to what you’ve said and that’s fine, but it’s my Life and I’m going to make this move. You can come but you have to shut up.” And
then you move. Your life – not Fear’s life.
When you allow your Fear to be
your master, then life becomes infinitely more difficult to progress, to
make changes in. Fear would protect you from sunlight because sunlight
causes cancer. Sorry. Thought causes cancer.
Your fear would have you do a
great many things or decline a great many things because there are thought
patterns within society and within consciousness that support and encourage
the fear. Not only your thought pattern that must be there in order for your
fear to grab onto, but the thought patterns that you are inundated with
through newspapers and television programs and radio programs. And I do not
say that they do not have their place – they do. But it is important that
you as evolving individuals encouraged through what you are willing to
accept into your homes and into your lives – you encourage their evolution.
If the news is going to be
negative over and over and over, have the courage, have the self respect,
have the desire for a happier life to change channels to one that will give
at least some good news. And if they don’t give any good news, I promise
you, your life will be less stress-full, and your sleep - if you listen to
the news at night – will be much more peace-full if you shut them off – if
you go elsewhere. And the news that you need to know will find its way to
you. It will indeed.
The political situation at this
point in time: there is a great deal of energy being put into this. Plans
are not going the way plans had been laid out and there are those who had
been quite disconcerted. You have hand flapping and finger-pointing and
accusation. I give you this gift of empowerment. If you wish to know the
real situation take yourself and a few other friends and go to a political
meeting. And as you walk through the door set it very clearly as you walk
through the door that all that will be spoken is Truth; then watch what
occurs.
A provincial election – at the
last time it was held: several individuals walked into a town hall meeting
with that attitude: that only truth would be spoken there. They were quite
amused to discover that the main speaker for the evening did not arrive
because she had a sore throat.
If you are prepared to listen
only to the Truth then the Truth will come forward. It cannot be helped.
Listen with your body as well as
your ears. If someone says something and it makes your stomach lurch or it
makes you find it difficult to swallow or you just go –ummmm- and move away
from it, I tell you, my Friends, you are “hearing” the Truth by way of your
physical conduit and it will be much more accurate because it has a less
vested interest and a less dynamic power trip than the individual speaking.
Our
good Friend, Abraham, has proposed a way of managing the different periods
of your day. He calls it intending into each segment. As you arrive
at your work, you intend – you set the intention – of how you would like it
to go.
You set the intention that you
wish to have laughter at your workplace. Have you noticed the evolution
showing up at some workplaces? There are some individuals who are
disconcerted and they say, “You’re having too much fun.” They say it as a
joke but they are not entirely sure; they would like it to be that work can
be that much fun, so they are moving toward the energy, they are drawn to
finding out, ‘what are you laughing about? It feels good and I want to be
here but I’m just not sure I should. Just not sure that that’s an okay
thing.’ So include them – laugh a little more.
Have you noticed that there are
workplaces, the kinds of workplaces that formerly were very rigid and formal
and now… people hug! And they tell each other, ‘I’m glad you’re here.’
Have you noticed that?
If you have not, might I suggest
to you that you start a trend? Be the brave one. You are the light workers,
you are the way-showers, you are the ones that are charged with taking the
first step. When you leave on a Friday, you say to your co-workers, “have
a great weekend.” On Monday morning, when you see them again, tell them,
“I’m glad we get to work together today.”
It might shock
them and that is a good thing, because I promise you as you say that to
another you are saying it to yourself and your subconscious mind, my
Friends, cannot take a joke. It believes every single solitary thing you
tell it. So if you tell it, ‘Oh, another day at that job; I hate that job…’
yes, you are going to find so much to hate about that job. And you know
what, your job is your role. Your job is your creation. Your job is your
doing in life and you are saying that you hate a part of your vibration into
Life. My Friends, do not go there.
Take for yourself a Dreamtime,
once a month if that’s all you can squeeze in, once a week – much better.
For the period of time until you understand clearly and clearly enough that
you are excited enough and determined enough and willing enough and in love
with yourself enough that you will put this fully into action. Daily would
be best but we understand how busy Life can get and how this obligation and
that duty and that promise and that and that and that and that can overlay
until … ‘well, some where in here I did have a life plan…’
My Friends, take the time. Love
yourself enough, value yourself enough – value someone else enough, value
God enough to do this for their sakes and for your sake.
Sit down and write.
[Yes, we’re back to writing
again. The other topic we talk about is meditation. Don’t worry; we’ll bring
it up.]
Write down what your ideal life
looks like. What your perfect day – one day – what does it look like? What
are you wearing? Where are you? What are you eating? Are you doing anything?
What would bring you the greatest
Joy? What do you want to bring into your life?
And then the next day, go back
and look at it and tweak it. And think about it. Maybe this isn’t quite
right. Maybe I don’t want a place with a brick fireplace. Maybe I’d rather
have a fire pit and a house in the country out under the stars…
So tweak it a little and keep at
it. Go back to it again and do it again until – perhaps – it isn’t at all
what you thought it was going to be but – ooooh, wouldn’t you just love to
do that?
It may not be about being a
television executive. It may not be about being the head of a corporation,
an entrepreneur, a teacher – although every one of you are teachers and you
are all healers, so do not allow that to stand in your way – it may not be
getting to be a shift supervisor.
It might be cutting back some of
the plans you thought you really wanted. It might be spending more time with
your family. It might be spending more time with your lover. It might be
spending more time drawing pictures that live inside you or maybe they live
in a special place in the mountains. It might just be doing something you
really hadn’t thought of when you first started this process, but once you
get to the time and the space and the message written there for you that
says, “Aaaaah, yessss.” – that’s when you start your work.
I warn you if you are not willing
to take the step at that point and do at least one thing every day to bring
that dream plan into your life, manifested fully around you – if you’re not
willing to go there – don’t waste your effort. You will be wasting your
health. You will be sacrificing your happiness. There are all sorts of
responses if you do not find what you love, if you do not cherish and bring
out and experience what gives you Joy. There are repercussions; there are
responses.
You’ll always get a result. What
we are encouraging you to do here and now is to find the step, find the
path, find what needs to be done, in order to get to the result that you
will love, in order to get to the result that you will cherish, in order to
get you to the result that just makes you “wanna swing down the street with
your head bobbin’ and your smile lighting up half the avenue” and people
will turn their heads and think, “Whoa. Gotta be crazy!”
You know what? Some days it’s
more fun to be crazy. Those of you who have acquaintance with Leo Buscaglia
– now present on this side – he used to say – with great Truth, I might add
– he used to say that being considered crazy by the neighbours gave you so
much latitude for behaviour. This is the man who would gather all the leaves
up in the yard and then go racing through them because it was fun.
Because it was a celebration of life! When was the last time you celebrated
your life?
Do you kick the leaves that fall
on the street when you go down the street? Let me tell you something – it is
a lot of fun to do…
And if you have to have a kid
with you to do it – that’s OK, because the kid will really respect you for
it. And you’ll have a chance to laugh. And nobody will think a thing of it.
That’s simply what people do when they have kids.
Kids can be your ticket to
freedom if that’s what you need.
But I say to you: allowing your
silliness; allowing your happiness, filling every drop of your days with
your passion and your excitement is the most powerfully beneficial energy
you can let loose on the planet. Every time you laugh out loud in the middle
of the street for no reason, the vibration on that entire block is raised.
Every time you do something or experience something that makes you happy and
you say, “Thank you very much, God!”
angels laugh. And the planet herself breathes a little
easier. I tell you, as I have told others before, as my Friend, Michael, has
told others before, the second most common vibration in Heaven, next to
Love, is Laughter.
And so you sit here very solemnly
taking it all in. Come on, laugh a little. I’m sure we can find a feather or
so…
I did say there was a
misunderstanding that makes it often difficult to take the step onto the
path that they know they would like to walk. And that
misunderstanding is in the word, Surrender.
Many of you
have the visualization in your heads of the guy in the black hat with his
hands up over his head, saying “I surrender.” The bad guy gives up.
That is not what surrendering is
about; that is not why it happens; that is not what it is for. Surrender is
your gift of trust without strings attached that you give to God, Goddess,
All That Is. You stand firmly, proudly and say, “I tried my best with all
that I remember here on this plane
– and it ain’t working. So. I
trust you; I surrender to you. I give it to you because I know that You know
what needs to be done. And I step back – with arms open ready to receive – I
await what I need to know.”
And then you are quiet.
Meditation helps. Patience helps.
There are far too many energies floating around looking for ***snap!
fingers*** instant gratification. Sometimes there is what appears to be a
lag. The lag is perceptual based on the human plane where the energy is
very, very slow. Sometimes that gift of surrendering, that gift of trust
requires a span of time – a gap – in order that you and God both understand
that you really do trust – that you really have surrendered.
I promise you if you keep tugging
on the sleeve of the Most High, saying, ‘Are you done yet? Did you look
after my problem yet? I’m still down here and I’m waiting for your answer.
I’m ready and I’m waiting for your answer. Hello?’ If you keep doing that,
then you have not surrendered. You have not rendered it unto– for that is
what surrender means: to render, to give unto the Highest Pure Source. You
do not trust and you will get it back. If you really want it back, it
will come back to you so that you can look after it. Whatever it is that you
wish. Whatever it is that you choose. If you still want to have control of
it; if you still want to have to worry about it; if you still want to be the
one to “make” it happen, it will be given back to you.
When the Christ was asked, which
takes precedence, the laws of man or the Laws of God, he said, “Render unto
Caesar, that which is Caesar’s…” Give unto – surrender “…and render unto God
that which is God’s.”
Oprah Winfrey has said, each of
us has a dream for ourselves, but when you give that dream that you have –
when you it to God and attach to the dream that he has for you, you will
have no idea where you are going, but it will be magnificent. It will take
you so far beyond what you thought you could be.
And it is because in this space
in this, in this form, you are limited. The Most High is never limited. And
when you align yourself to That, when you render yourself part of that
energy, part of that Love, part of that Service and that Joy, then you too
become limit-less.
When you say, “OK, you handle
it. I’ll be here just doing what I think I need to be doing and if you have
any information for me to use, just let me know.” Then you proceed.
You proceed with your eyes open.
Now we are not saying, Wiiiide open. Searching everywhere in case you miss
something. Trust me: the important message will come through. You will
perceive it. And it will be: “Oh! OK, this is what I do.”
And that is now you know how to
take the next step:
Put fear behind you or in the
corner – promise to get back to him. Make your own choices. Make your own
choices for the Love that they bring you. And take the step.
Take the step.
It can be a power-full thing. It
can be a scary thing.
You want that bridge to be there
and you want that bridge to be really, really solid because what you have
right here feels solid. So you hold onto the post and you take a step or two
– and you take a step or two, but you have not surrendered, you have not
trusted until you let go. Take a deep breath and step. And then step again.
Don’t step and stop and look
around and expect to be clouted.
Take the next one. And know
that you are doing this because it is Love that is encouraging you. Know
that en-courage-ment means that you put your courage inside yourself and you
do it. It doesn’t mean the fear isn’t still there.
By the way, when you are dealing
with your fear, put fear on the left side of you. Energetically, that is
your past. Do not put fear into your future.
You are all very courageous
people. There will be from time to time requirements in your life that will
allow you to know that. But I tell you this so that when you get there you
will remember what I said: You are very courageous. You are very, very
brilliant Lights. The world needs all the Love that you can permit to
radiate from you and I promise you, the more you give away, the more that
you will have show up in your life.
All energy is cyclical. The
Sioux Indians representation of the energy of the Seventeen – the Star of
Venus – is the seventeen hoops representing all the different elements and
parts of the world and the Universe. All energy that is positive and flowing
is circular. It goes out and it comes back, but I promise you it “ain’t”
coming back until you’ve sent it out.
Everything in your life starts
with you.
Starts with you – are you going
to stand there and say, “OK. ***plop*** Little bit.” Or are you going to
say, “well, I want to enjoy this life right up to my eyebrows and then a
foot higher than that, so I am going to send out as much as I can. I’m going
to send out all the Love, all the energy, all the excitement, all the
passion, I’m going to send it and send it and send it and as soon as I don’t
have any left, I’m going to send it anyway because it isn’t mine. It comes
through me from the Most High.” And I guarantee you as long as you keep
sending it in excitement, in laughter, in joy, in happiness, just because it
makes you feel good with satisfaction, it will not end. It will keep coming
and coming.
You see a little person on the
street – children saying, “Hi” they say hi to almost anybody. Respect
the soul and the love and the light in that little one, say, “Hi”
back. And if they are staring at you while you are standing in a grocery
line, looking up wondering who you are – and you’ve caught their attention
and they’ve caught yours – give them a wink. You don’t have to say anything,
just give them a wink. They’ll know. And you feel good about it.
That’s what you are here for.
You’re not here to grind away at anything. You’re not here to put in your
time. You’re here to wink at little kids and smile inside because you did
it.
You’re to start a snowball fight
this winter with your Beloved and then next year, start it again. The first
one to hit the other wins for the year. That’s what you’re here for.
Because every time you enjoy a
moment of your life, two things happen:
That vibration of enjoyment goes
around and touches other people like Tinkerbell’s fairy dust and
That enjoyment gives others
permission to do the same thing.
It comes back to you and you say,
“Ooh; that felt good. Let’s do it again.”
And so you do.
The days when you just feel like
being crabby – it happens. Everybody gets down and not everybody is
energetically inclined to bounce back up again. Sometimes you just
want to stay there and wallow in it because you haven’t done it for a long
time and – that’s OK as long as you inflict no pain on others and as long as
you don’t stay there.
Maybe what you need is to feel
cuddled; to feel cherished; to feel wrapped up in a warm flannel blanket
with someone who cares about you loving you. Maybe that’s what you need at
that point in time. If you’ve feeling crabby and you don’t what to get out
of it but you don’t know why you’re feeling crabby, that’s the time for this
special nurturing. The more that you answer that need, the easier it will be
to bounce back and then you get back to Joy again.
It is why you are here.
Michael J. Losier, Canadian
author, has written a book called, “The Law of Attraction.” His
proposition in that book is that you are here to experience Joy. Staying
poor doesn’t help anybody – not even the poor. This is an abundant world.
Shut off the news and go outside in your yard and count how many blades of
grass are and then tell me if this is a world of abundance or poverty.
This is a world of abundance. If
you do not see it; if you are not experiencing it, you are missing the
lesson. And it is part of your job to demonstrate that. Please do not get
into this nonsense of ‘there isn’t enough to go around’ or ‘if I get my big
bundle somebody else has to do without,’ that is just not so.
There is more in life than you or
anyone else would be able to gather. There is enough in life that individual
– six billion plus – can experience affluence. Let me tell you; let me
remind you, affluence goes far, far beyond survival.
The recommended daily allowance
of nutrients in your breakfast cereals – that is survival. And survival is
enough to get your chin an inch off the floor. You are meant to be much more
than that.
Your path in life attained by
your service into life leads you to joy – joy in all things, abundant joy
because you cannot truly have the one without the other. You cannot
experience joy if you are concerned over where the next meal or the next
bill payment is coming from. Therefore, abundance – having enough to release
you from the worry state – leads you to joy. And joy, my Friends, is an
expression of the vast richness and fullness and love and satisfaction in
your life.
When we who guide you say to you:
“Enjoy!” we are recommending that you put Joy in to your experience.
I have discoursed at good length this evening
and wish to express my gratitude for your patience. If you
have found some thoughts on which to
ponder or take to heart and action, then my purpose has been well fulfilled.
