It is so very easy to get lost or disconnected from your source of well being.  It is so very easy to get frustrated by this disconnection.

AND It is so very easy to reconnect again as well.

There is an equal amount of effort required to lose a connection as is required to gain a connection.

Don’t get caught up, lost, intimidated or discouraged by the effort that you think it will take to get back on track –  as little or no effort is required,  if you choose to simply reconnect in the present moment.

The only effort that is required is the effort that it will take you to change your mind.

Memories are not necessarily a true reflection of the events of your past Dear One.  They are more like a picture/a snap shot created in your mind to support a current feeling about an event from your past.

Memories can be beautiful but they can be damaging as well.  Especially when you assign more value or truth to them then you do the present moment.

You can learn from your memories, but be wary of them as well.  It is the present moment, the now, that has the greatest influence on how you remember something.   Keep this in mind when you attach meaning to an event from long ago.  When you do, more often that not, is it simply a  way of putting a current feeling into a familiar context.

Be wary of giving too much energy to your memories Dear One, as your recollection of them are really much more about the present then you would think.

Be at peace with where you are Dear One – as the place that you are now standing is a pretty remarkable one. Why?  Because you are there.

You are a blessed being, an expression of spirit in the physical.  Do you know how remarkable it is to get to be in the physical – on the leading edge of creation – on the leading edge of all that is?  It is pretty remarkable Dear One.

There is so much going on around you and within you, in every moment, that we are constantly amazed that you are not constantly amazed.   You have access to an unlimited number of experiences, a constantly changing stream, one, and then the next and then the next – and you have the remarkable ability to contribute to the creation of each one, to allow them or resist them, and to interact with them in any way that you choose.

So now do you understand?

The place that you are standing is a pretty remarkable one. Why?  Because you are there.

Open your heart Dear One – Not so that you can let love in from somewhere outside of you.  We want you to open your heart and look within for the love that you already hold within you –   that you are made up of – that you are.

Open your heart and let that love out.  Let it flow through you and from you out into the world.  You are the source Dear one that you are longing to connect with/re-connect with.   The light of the origin of the universe shines through you.

Live your life from the inside out.  Shine your brightest.  Let the light of who you are radiate out of you and fall on anyone within its reach.

Live from the inside out, for within you is more than you will ever need, more than you could ever conceive of, more than you will ever fully know/realize until you open up to it.

Live from the inside out and you will never know from a shortage of love, or connection to source again.

Shine Dear One.

There is no honor Dear One, in remaining loyal to that which is hurting you – truly.  Be it a person, an idea, a set of circumstances, a set of beliefs – anything.

We don’t want to see you honoring unhealthy, abusive or painful commitments out of some sense of loyalty, or some sense of community or to maintain a dynamic that is familiar to you.

We want you to know that we will never see honor in remaining in a bad situation – not in the name of spirit/god/divinity – not because of a promise that you made – not because of a goal that you set for yourself – not in the name of love – regardless of how strongly you once believed in it.

NOW is the only time that matters.  NOW is the only moment that really counts. By letting go of unhealthy commitments that are causing you pain, you are freeing up your energy for more worthy pursuits – that will serve not only you, but the greatest good of all.

The universe wants you happy and smiling and content and grateful and joyful and creative.  And anything that stands in the way of you having or being all of these things is something that you can and should let go of.    Honor THAT.  Make THAT the new commitment that you will hold on to –  and remain loyal to –  and never let go of.  And let all of the others fall away.

Focusing your attention, your energy, on feelings of disappointment for all of the things in your life that are not the way that you want them to be – We can think of no greater waste of time Dear One – no greater contradictory behavior to getting that which you desire.

Get over your disappointments as quickly as you can and instead choose to focus your attention on those things that you would like to see manifested in your life.

Sulking only serves to keep that which you are wanting away

There truly is nothing for you to be afraid of Dear One.  We would love nothing more than to see you open up completely and embrace the idea of living, of being alive, without fear.   Try it and see.

Release your tight grip on the world and on yourself and trust, float for a little while Dear One.    It is not being lazy, or irresponsible or childish if you do.  We promise.

The river is there for you to interact with in any manner that you see fit.  You can walk in it.  You can run in it.  You can swim laps in it or you can choose to just let go and float and let the river carry you to wherever you are headed.  Be afraid if you want to be.  That is your choice.  But we are here to tell you that it won’t serve you the way that you think it will.  Fear does not slow things down or prevent thing from coming to pass. It only serves to diminish your ability to experience joy, peace and contentment in the moment.

You have become so accustomed to struggling Dear One, that you have come to believe that it is a natural, unavoidable part of your life.  But we are here to remind you that life is not meant to be a struggle.

Take full responsibility for your choices, all of them, good and bad, let go of that which does not serve you and accept what is and you can put an end to your struggling.

But remember Dear One, that responsibility and blame are two very different things.

Don’t blame yourself or others, for what is.  Struggling persists when you resist what is.

Blame is resistant, damaging, accusatory, and segregating.  Responsibility is accepting, forgiving, allowing and inclusive.

When you take responsibility for yourself, your environment, your circumstances, your choices and stop blaming yourself or anyone else, for the place you now find yourself standing,  you will greatly reduce the amount of struggle in your life Dear one, and by extension, you will be greatly reducing the amount of struggle in the world as well.

A worthy pursuit, don’t you think?

It’s all about timing Dear One.  And the time that should always hold the most significance for you is the present time – the now – this moment.

Part of what is so incredible about this physical reality that you are living, is that it allows you to break down eternity into moment-by-moment experiences.  It allows you to actively, fully and completely engage with each-and-every experience, one-at-a-time. That is what is truly miraculous about the gift of time, and so many of you are missing the boat completely on this one.

You, in this physical state, get to experience a sequential reality and not just a spectral reality, as is the experience of spirit.  That is one of the reasons you have come forth.  To experience one moment at a time.  So don’t be so quick to avoid doing so.  Don’t be so quick to toss moments aside.  Don’t be so quick to fill up each and every second to the point of distraction.  Don’t be quick to focus on “what next” instead of “what now”.  Don’t be so quick Dear One,  Period!

Don’t curse time for moving too fast or moving too slow. For prolonging your pain or cutting short your pleasure.  You are still the one in charge of how you choose to experience its passage.    That power has and always will rest with you, not with time.  Time is a gift Dear One.  Not a curse.   Make a choice to experience it with grace, ease and gratitude.  Use it.  Enjoy it.  Celebrate it, because the experience of it is one of the biggest reasons you have come forth.

This is not as good as its going to get.

There are no limits to just how good things can get Dear One.
