Are you any less spiritual, Dear One, when you skip yoga, don’t meditate, pass on the weekly service, don’t make the donation, cut in line, think bad thoughts, do not want to help, or forget to give up your seat on the subway, bus, ferry, or train to the passenger that is older, weaker, needier, or more pregnant than you?

Absolutely, not.

You are a spiritual being no matter what you do.

But it is your belief, your consciousness, your level of acceptance of the fact that you are a part of something larger than yourself, that you are one part of a whole, that you are divine, and are at once a reflection of the world around you as well as the creator of it, that determines your level of awareness of this fact.

You can choose to be a spiritually aware person, Dear One, or you can choose to be a spiritually unaware person. And that choice can change from day to day. But you cannot, not matter what, regardless of what you do, think, say, or believe, choose to be anything other than divine at all times.

Every minute of every day we are speaking to you, encouraging you, guiding you towards that which you are wanting for yourself, Dear One.   To tap in to, receive, understand this guidance it might be helpful for you to understand why we do this.  It is not to tell you what to do, dictate your choices or create your future.  That is something only you can do, and we would never take away the gift of choice and discovery from you.

• We are not concerned with the color of your shirt but want you to feel empowered by the clothing that you wear.
• We will not encourage you to love one person above another, but will encourage that which will help you to know and experience true love in your heart with another soul that is as open to it as much as or even more so than you are.
• We are not so concerned about what career/work you choose to do, but want you to know that how you spend your time and energy and how you choose to be of service to those around you does matter. We will guide you towards finding fulfillment in your work and encourage you/lead you towards that which will bring you greater enjoyment, meaning and authentic connection to others using the gifts/talents that you have.

We will encourage that which will expand your boundaries and your experience of the world – that which you will bring you the greatest joy while you are doing it.  Whether you are painting pictures, changing light bulbs or teaching children how to read – what you do is of less importance to us than how you feel while you are doing it.

You are contributing to the creation of your world all of the time – with every choice, thought and action that you take.   We want you to remember to enjoy yourself while you are doing it – to help you create from a place of joy, contentment and optimism.  Doing so is not only beneficial to you, Dear One, but to all of those that share this world with you.

Are you having a hard time finding love, Dear One?  Do you feel as if you have been looking for it everywhere and that it is constantly eluding you?

If that is the case, we may be able to help. We may be able to shed some light onto the subject of why your search has not yet yielded you the results that you were hoping for, that you were expecting .

Love is not something that you search for.  Love is not something that you find.  It is something that you allow.

If you want more love in your life Dear One, try changing your mindset, try changing your approach.

Try opening yourself to allow love into your life instead of trying to chase it downs and see if that does not change the ease with which it flows into your experience.

When you think you’ve lost it all, Dear One, when you believe that there is no where else to go, and you’ve got absolutely nothing left, remember this:

You’ve always got another choice to make.

Your life is meant to be a joy, Dear One, and if the things that you are doing, from day-to-day-to-day, are no longer bringing you joy, then it is time to let them go.  Simply put them down and step away, and make room to allow for something new.

You are the one who determines your point of attraction.

What you put out there is what you get back.

So, you tell us, Dear One, based on what you are putting out there, what do you think is headed your way?

And more importantly, do you think you will be happy when it gets here?

We need you to do something very important for us today, Dear One.

Be genuine. Be authentic. Be brave. Be honest.  Be open.  Be curious. Be conscious. Be silly. Be scared. Be uncertain. Be doubtful. Be flawed.

Be human.

Be you.

When your behaviors are no longer serving you, Dear One, when they stop yielding the desired results, when your actions are no longer in alignment with your thoughts, feelings,
and desires – don’t start doubting yourself, your choices, your abilities, or your judgment. Don’t get angry, frustrated, or hopeless.  Don’t start looking for something or someone to blame.

Instead, try remembering that life is constantly changing, and so are you.

If the beliefs, routines, rituals, patterns and behaviors that brought you comfort, security, health, relief and joy yesterday, do not do so today – it may simply be time to change them.

The only way to know for sure, Dear One, what love really is, is to experience it for yourself. It is not something that you can learn, that you can come to truly understand from a book, a song, a movie, a poem, or a class.

And the best way to do that, to have a truly authentic experience of love, is to love yourself, purely, totally, completely, and unconditionally. That means  thinking, speaking, and acting lovingly towards yourself, all the time.

Do that, know that experience, give yourself the experience of knowing what unconditional love looks, feels, sounds, smells, and tastes like, and you will never again have to ask yourself or anyone else the question ‘Is this love?’, because you will know.

You will then know from firsthand experience what true love feels like, so you will be able to recognize if what you are feeling for them is love, and Dear One, you will know how to recognize if they are truly loving you in return.

Making tough decisions is a part of life, Dear One.

Living is choosing. You know this very well.

You are forced to make tough decisions everyday, and today is no different.

• Choose with your heart, connected to your source, open to the vast possibilities and wisdom of the universe, and your choice, regardless of what you decide, will be an empowering one for you.
• Choose with your head, out of fear, based on logic, experience and expectations grounded in the past, disconnected from your source, and your choice, regardless of what you decide, will be a limiting one for you.

So there you have it.

Does this help to make your tough decision a little less so?

We hope so.
