Take Time to Re-Discover Your True Unique Self

Adapt ~ Change ~ Evolve
 
March 14, 2014

Just about every dear soul lacks a certain amount of awareness at no fault of their own about who they are. And this lack of awareness is not about who you are on the outside, but who you are on the inside…at the core level where all your conditioning, ego and defences are.

Thankfully, each of you has the ability to adapt, to change and to evolve and that you are doing each day. You go through life playing a game with your true self, something like a hide and seek, some days you find it, other days it seems elusive. Your own behaviours have become adapted for many reasons depending on what you have been exposed to from certain situations and experiences.

Being adaptable is an important life skill. Your ability to survive and evolve depends on your ability to adapt to new situations and outcomes…to rise from your falls and to continue pushing ahead. If you look at businesses, if they aren’t able to adapt to the economy and to the supply and demand of the customers then they eventually go broke and close up shop. The same principal dear ones can be applied to your relationships. Even the simplest act of putting on warmer boots when the weather indicates a drop in temperature is your demonstration of being adaptable. As you can see dear ones, being adaptable serves you in many good and positive ways.

Make This Year The Positive Change You Want In Yourself and The World

Entourage of Light Beings: 2014 You Must Become the Change you want to see in your World

This New Year brings us opportunities for dynamic change to take place. Change is happening on a grander scale than ever before, however this time it is the lightworker who can make the difference in what the final outcome will be. You are now planting the seeds that will be the beginning of the next cycle so choose wisely for yourselves and those that follow. All points have been leading up to these changes that will be taking place over the next 3 years and so learn what you can from the past, release and expect things to be different and they will.

Review the motives of those in your power positions. One of the great uses of expanding your senses is to know when the one who is speaking is standing in integrity or just blowing wind. As more of you learn to trust yourselves and your natural senses you will know what is true and what is right. Until enough of you awaken and effect change by becoming that change, it will carry on business as usually by those who have the most control. Apathy can often be the greatest weapon you use against yourselves.

Letting Go - Release What Doesn't Support You

Release what doesn’t serve you

It is time to let go and release the events and people from your past and present that doesn’t support or serve your growth. It is not always easy to release thoughts and feelings from situations that didn’t turn out how you had planned, so that you can be free to move on to something more meaningful for yourself and your growth. The end of a phase or situation means that you are ready for some new beginnings and you are and it is time to move on.

Fear not, for you are a powerful lightworker who has the spiritual power to turn anything into a loving alternative for yourself and others. It is safe and time for you to step into that power and to use your ingenuity and originality to help with some exciting new endeavours and activities that match your spiritual and personal growth. As you keep the balance in your emotional and physical worlds, you will find that you are falling back in love with life once again.

Affirmation: “I am now ready to release what no longer serves my personal or spiritual growth so that I can move on to something more exciting and meaningful for myself and my world.”

And so it is

You are dearly loved and supported, always, the angels

The Truth about Sincerity. Is Yours Genuine or Hypocritical?

Evoking Genuine Sincerity In Others
 
Do you know dear ones when you are coming across with genuine and sincere intentions you are being received and understood as to being truthful in your words and actions? A dear soul that truly means what they say is a genuinely sincere dear soul – a person that does not mean what they say, well they are not very sincere and many cases end up becoming hypocrites. Understand dear ones the purity of the word sincerity and its meaning is encouraged to be used by every dear soul in every situation as often as possible. The most sincere of people are also the ones that are most loved and appreciated. Doesn’t it feel good dear ones to be known as someone who is genuine and sincere?

Comprehend dear ones each part of your being; your mind, your emotions, etc., are all created to be an independent part of you and for the most part you are not meant to be influenced by the development of any other part. Just think of the results if you could bring together different parts of your personality, then every other part would be raised to level of that growth. You are already calm and collected if you are able to maintain your emotions to a rational and courteous manner. Your sincerity becomes partial only if allow certain external behaviours to filter in and bring limitation to your mind and ways of being.

Accepting Responsibility Requires Conscious Awareness of the Influence of Your Actions

Accepting  Responsibility
 
It gives me great pleasure beautiful Sons and Daughters of God to speak to all of you through this chosen vessel here today. Let us begin by giving thanks to the gift of a new day God has bestowed upon each of you, a new day to grow, a new day to develop and to learn from the endless opportunities presented to you.

We ask you to think what it means to be responsible. For you to be responsible, what does this include? It is vital for each of you to comprehend that responsibility is a virtue that is becoming less noticed as more and more lovely souls are seeking in a rush to be this or to be that, or to replace what is convenient over responsibility. We really encourage you to think hard, honestly and truthfully what areas in your life require you to be more responsible. As it is understood that the world you live in is a reflection of you. Therefore if you are seeing other lovely souls acting in an irresponsible way, what does this indicate about yourself?

When you are responsible in all ways, you are demonstrating you are also very much aware and mindful of not only yourself but of those around you regardless of the distance. The true virtue of responsibility is also a moral quality that is used to stand alongside God’s Word. There are many dear and lovely souls that make a point to do good things but they don’t necessarily stand alongside the true nature of God’s Word. It is essential My Lovely Ones to understand your good deed is merely an action derived from a compassionate impulse that doesn’t always include any real heart-felt decision. When you are able to be unconditionally loving with your giving, then your action of doing a good deed becomes an action of God working through you.

Status Is Not Recognized in Heaven, We All are Rays of Light - Heavenletters # 4729

Rays of God’s Light
Heavenletter #4729
November 5, 2013

God said: 

Consider that, in life, you are on a cruise. The cruise ship stops at certain ports of call, and you look around and enjoy, return to the ship and stop somewhere else and so on until the ship takes you back right to where you started from. This is Home, and this is Heaven.

For a while, you explore the world, and you discover whatever you discover, return Home, and then take another cruise. No cruise is like any other. Even the same people on the same cruise experience their travels differently. Pretty much everyone enjoys his tour tremendously, and yet has plenty of complaints and sometimes wishes he had never left Home in the first place. And, so, on the tour, you pretty much alternate between joy and plaints, as if they were rungs of a ladder you are climbing. Perhaps you are climbing a ladder, for each rung lifts you higher.

Some climb fast, some climb slowly. Nevertheless, in every single case, everyone climbs. Everyone finishes his tour at the same stop, and yet everyone has grown since he first stepped on board this great ship of life.

Acknowledge The Advantages of New Direction

Acknowledge The Advantages of New Direction

No matter how hard you try to avoid change, change is inevitable and always constant. How each dear soul responds and reacts to change does carry cause and effect onto their personal performance in every area of their life and the outcomes they are hoping to achieve.

By avoiding change, even if you are unaware that you go out of your way to maintain all things in your life to stay exactly the same – never changing; therefore puts your own development and growth out of alignment with all that moves and lives within your environment. Many times this occurs unconsciously due to a deeply imbedded need to keep everything safe and secure – stepping into the unknown can be a frightful experience, one that requires great bravery and courage. This kind of inaction will result in discomfort and many times create tension not only within your physical body but in many areas of your life. If your own behaviours, emotions and feelings are not aligned with the new directions that are crossing your path, then you become dear ones off course and less productive.

What makes change so frightening is different from one person to the other but mainly it’s the dynamics of the situation that creates the fear and need to retreat where it’s the same and safe. We know how difficult it can be to step beyond your comfort zone and embrace change with confidence, but the more often you do the better your outcomes will be. Innovation and change is part of your modern world. It cannot be avoided; therefore we encourage you to embrace the changes that are coming, even the ones that pose to be difficult. See them as advantages to become more knowledgeable and where you are able to shine your authentic self in every step.

Change is change…it makes little difference what is changing, it is how you respond that makes the difference, and how you respond does affect your performance and the outcome you are looking to achieve. It is much easier to flow through the changes with a positive attitude, ready to take on what is in front of you. Even your body language, self-talk and interaction with others will reflect how you are coping with any change.

Of course there will be situations that you will adapt more easily to than others, and we know some will be very difficult, but when you willingly and consciously step forward with a constructive manner you are demonstrating you are willing to adapt and accept all changes that waiting for you to acknowledge. We encourage each of you to be more positive towards the direction any change may involve. Make sure you truly understand without any doubt what you can or cannot control within any circumstance and realize dear ones that disruptions are natural and part of any change or new direction – they are what helps you to expand your comfort zones where you are given opportunities to be creative within any changes that you are working through. Accept that there is always more than one way to do something, learn of innovative ideas that resonate with you and make them work within your current situation and don’t be shy to make use of your own personal strength. You have always been strong and each change that you have passed through is your proof.

Having a good attitude during any changes or sudden new directions will help to enhance your overall performance and results. If you are able to respond and react positively to any change, then you are able to grow and develop as the unique individuals each of you are. We ask you to think back to an experience where you were with a positively minded person and how that felt. Was their energy fun, and high spirited? Even when dealing with difficult choices that require great changes to take effect, having a positive attitude will help make the transition easier. The dear souls that are able to maintain a healthy positive attitude while dealing with difficult decisions don’t allow themselves to grow a negative thought, they understand the power of faith and make use of it every moment in each day, not just during prayer. Being positive in mind and spirit is a choice dear ones and even though this choice requires a great deal of energy to continue, it keeps you on target of whatever goal you are aiming to accomplish.

We observe often that for many dear souls it is much easier to be negative than positive. We have seen so many attempt at being positive and as soon as another difficult challenge enters the picture their positive demeanor vanishes and is replaced with fear and uncertainty once again. At any time your positive attitude is reversed and negativity sets in, the power that is lost is by you allowing this to occur. You may not be able to control everything that comes your way, because that is how change and challenges work, they come often unexpected. Don’t allow a difficult challenge turn your attitude upside down. You hold the power to control this part of yourself. It is up to you each time if you are going to give any situation the power to control you.

It is understood that life in general for most dear souls is like a never-ending roller coaster, but it doesn’t have to be viewed this way. Negative thoughts come and they go. They have the ability to attract more negativity and discord into your life if you allow them. It is also understood that none of your negative thinking or self-talk comes from God. He does not promote negative actions, He encourages you to practice self-love and self-compassion, to heal yourself during times of doubt and despair and to remember to lean on Him during such times…allowing Him to come to you so He may shine His Brilliant Light down upon you and wrap you up in His infinite Love.

There are always ways to cope through any transition that will help you to leave the negative behind for more positive choices and outcomes. We trust completely that with your ability to explore you will discover ways that fit your personal style that will help bring you out of any disharmonic emotion or feeling and back to feeling positive and optimistic.

In the meantime, we encourage you to pay attention to what you are thinking about. Determine if your thoughts are negative, even if they are just slightly negative they still hold disharmony and negative actions and words are still holding form. When you realize your actions, words, thoughts, feelings and even your will is holding any amount of negativity you have not only the possibility but the capability to control your thoughts and replace each negative thought with a positive one. This is a learning process and it does become easier with practice. Try not to be too hard on yourself or to expect perfection over-night. The development of you takes time, lots of love and care.

We also encourage you to stop listening to other people’s negative attitudes; they have the ability of effecting your own and often carry toxic energy that will bring down your own. If this means you might need to find new people to interact with that are positive minded then that dear ones is a choice we encourage you to take. Being around negative people will not help you to become more positive or remain positive.

We know you want to make changes that will bring about new directions for you to take upon your journey. Make a list of the changes you wish to see and work on them one at a time. We know you are aware of any negative behaviour that you hold, and we encourage you to make a list of these as well being honest and truthful. If you are unable to see what is negative in your life, ask a trusted person, one who will speak without bias and work on this list also. You may discover that each thing you find that is negative is able to be changed into positive just by wanting to make the changes happen. There is nothing you cannot do when you put your heart and soul into each and every step.

Don’t forget to stimulate your own self-worth by making good use of positive I AM statements and positive affirmations. Write them down and leave them in strategic places, or when a negative thought comes into view, remember one and say it and believe what you are saying. Tell yourself every day how grateful you are for being you. Remember you are a gift onto the world created by God which also means you are a gift onto yourself. Commit to saying something positive that affirms who you are as a person and that your existence is valid and essential. Each day you will make new progress, don’t just know this from reading our words, know this from the silent message your heart gives you each time confirming the truth behind each positive affirmation and positive I AM statement.

We see just how busy your day is; from morning to night and it is a challenge to find even a couple minutes of extra time, but we ask you to do just that to pray. Talk to God, to the angels or to who you refer to when praying. Share your burdens and concerns with who you pray to and know your journey is not a lonely one. Learn to rest in the comfort of the one you pray to, knowing you are loved, protected and cared for. We know it’s difficult to trust in what you cannot see and this is where many dear souls lose faith, yet it is faith that will see you through the hard times.

Change is a process; it requires you to think, to accept, and to be aware and so much more. If your mind is positive then your body will follow your mind positively and respond positively. You already know that your physical health is affected by how you think. You cannot ever separate the body from the mind, because how you program your mind is how your body will also respond.

Know dear ones; God wants only the best for His Children. He knows that sometimes you must choose the harder challenges over the easier ones, and sometimes repeatedly before you understand the lesson and break the cycle. He also knows and believes that you will overcome any obstacle because you have inside of you the power to make change happen…it’s all fairly simple – just mind over matter.

And so it is…

Life Is A Surprise - Heavenletter #4715

Life Is a Surprise

Heavenletter #4715                                                        October 22, 2013
God said: 

No one knows what tomorrow will bring. But who is it who says you have to know? What makes it better to know what is going to happen tomorrow than it is not to know? Why does certainty seem right and uncertainty doesn’t?

What is certain is: If you were born, you were meant to be born. And when you live on Earth, you were meant to live on Earth. And you are meant to learn and grow. There is not a minute really that you stay just the same. Growth is the name of the game.

It’s really true that you do become wiser.

If you could live your life over, would you make the same choices? Probably. Even when looking back and you regret some choices you made, you might make the same choices again that you made before and now rue. At that time and place, you were up for that choice. Whether wise or sorry in hindsight, it would seem that you followed a star not really knowing what you were doing. Most likely, you were in a kind of daze. You took a gamble, as in life you must, and it came out the way you wanted, or it didn’t. Sometimes it may seem to you that your life was rigged.

Anyway, you can’t turn back. This life is a one-time opportunity. Every day is a one-time opportunity. Besides, you can’t really trace the course of your life any more than you can predict it. Sure, one thing seems to lead to another, but does it? In Truth, there is no sequence, and there is no consequence. It certainly seems so, but, then again, what do you know? You mostly guess, and tomorrow you will guess again.

Life is a surprise. It is a surprise a mile a minute. Even when life seems to turn out the way you expected, it is a surprise. Life seems to have you twisted around its little finger, and it would seem you do life’s bidding.

No one knows how he or she is going to turn out, as if there is such a thing as turning out. No one knows how any another will turn out. Nobody knows.

Is there a conclusion to how people turn out, and in whose estimation? You see what you see, yet that doesn’t mean you know the half of it.

The surface is only the surface, and the surface may not reveal the depths. Whatever you think you may know a lot about, you may know little. In terms of the surface of life, there is little to know. Now, the depths, that’s another story. The depths are endless. There is no ending. The path continues to wind and unwind.

From the human point of view, life is perilous. Even so, there is no peril. You lead a sanctioned life. There is truly no end to life, so what can you be in danger of? Naturally, you think of many dangers, and those are your fears. All fears are unfounded. Your deepest fears are unfounded. There is no foundation for fear. Fears are a kind of temperature changes, that’s all. Be wary of your wariness.

Life is a shoe-in. You just have to meet up with it, and life will take you on your merry way. There are no close calls even unto death of the body. All that you fear is a surmise. It is a supposition. Even when you lose a bet, you don’t miss a strand of life.

Finally, I ask you: Why does winning seem better than not winning? What do you win when you win?

Discipline - A Teacher of Accountability, Consideration, Freedom, Liberation, and Positive Energy

DISCIPLINE AS AN ESSENTIAL SKILL

Discipline is an important ingredient to your spiritual development and personal growth. Even though there are many among you that are aware of this concept, fewer understand its purpose and that it is required to be a part of your life every day, not just when you feel like it if you want to succeed and progress. If you look closely at those that are most successful, you will see behind their story that discipline and focus was an important asset to their journey, and discipline dear ones is vital to all that you set out to do and to accomplish.

In order to lead others, the leader, teacher, instructor, etc., must be able to demonstrate great restraint, tolerance and patience – this takes daily practice of working with your inner most feelings, learning to let go of what is not really important and focusing on what is that will lead to the further development of your strength. Anyone who has dieted, tried to end a debilitating habit, began a new project or task understands how easy it is to be distracted and that it takes great strength to remain firm and on target. It does get easier with practice and with practice your confidence also rises which helps to promote what it is you are trying to achieve that is positive and good.

You can have all the movement you want dear ones, but unless you bring in discipline to hone your skill, what you demonstrate will be erratic; there will be no smoothness or direction. Take a look at the most influential athletes, you will learn they follow certain rules and regulations and you will also see they train not only their physical bodies, but work on their self from the inside by making healthy choices because they have a goal in their mind and their focus is sharp. This does not mean mistakes cannot happen to those that are firmly disciplined, it just means when errors occur, they are already in-tune to what is occurring and know quickly how to proceed to make the appropriate corrections that will bring about better results next time.

It is well understood dear ones that when you enable discipline as one of the tools to your success you are also bringing in stability and a firmer foundation to your whole life. Discipline has a way to teach and instruct you to become more responsible for the choices you make and to respect what you have chosen without ridicule or harsh judgements. Understand that if there was absolutely no discipline the world would be in even deeper chaos than what is going on now – every single person would do what they wanted, without being accountable for any harm possibly being done; it would a world devoid of compassion, respect and love. Fortunately when you add discipline you are showing consideration, you are promoting good and God-Loving behaviour that makes life a lot more enjoyable for you and those closest to you.

When you consciously demonstrate discipline and self-restraint you are illustrating to those around you that you have control of your Self because you comprehend that without control of your mental and emotional faculties that disaster can result and we understand you are aiming for favourable outcomes from any and all situations you are currently working through. Mental toughness may seem difficult dear ones, but truly it isn’t. Becoming more disciplined does require a certain amount of sacrifice, but the rewards are always worth the effort. If you only put in partial energy into a task, then your outcome will be incomplete – less than what you truly wanted to achieve. When you commit with discipline, and you apply this skill in each step, your outcome will be that much greater. Focus is a key player dear ones in determining a successful outcome. Learning to stay on track and not to deviate from your goal takes great strength and determination, but nothing is every impossible when you wish to achieve something enough.

Becoming more disciplined is not an entrapment to hinder your growth, it’s actually freedom from lethargy and slothfulness, it also brings liberation from astronomical demands and expectations of others; becoming more disciplined will help to dissolve fear and bring you into understanding that your path will lead you to new and unexplored areas for your discovery pleasure and it’s okay to step forward gleaning all you can in order to attain more knowledge and apply this information as wisdom once you have absorbed it through daily application and understanding.

Under the positive influence of self-discipline and restraint you will be able to come home to your own individuality and discover your strength within the goals you have set out for yourself to accomplish. You are no longer a slave to something; you become master of that particular skill. Learning how to see your journey with a positive mind-set that is disciplined will provide you with incredible inside information of your Self. Only you can bring this knowledge to the surface, and we are confident that with patience, tolerance and time you will come to know every part of yourself with the understanding every day will bring new and exciting possibilities for you to learn and grow from.

There are many among you that don’t follow the understanding of discipline being a form of freedom that is because for some folks, discipline is merely a word that means they must work harder without freedom. Have you ever tried to learn a new language, possibly from having to move from your birth country? The discipline required to learn the verbs, nouns, how to make sentences and to converse requires a great amount of hard work, but in the end the person learning the new language can communicate effectively and through the ability to communicate new knowledge is able to be gained and life continues to bring new joy, love and consideration along the way. Sometimes dear ones, hard work doesn’t bring rewards at the end of the day, sometimes your efforts accumulate and over time they create something big and fantastic. Be steadfast in your efforts, focus on what you wish to achieve with all your heart and soul and you will succeed. Challenges will always present themselves and learning how to deal with them effectively and efficiently will help speed up the process and continue the flow of positive energy.

Comprehend dear ones that working more disciplined and restrained your actions are in accordance to what you are thinking rather than what you are feeling. When you are on the path of bringing change into your life through dieting, overcoming a unhealthy habit or something of a similar nature you may be tempted to want what you know is not good for your body, when you make an alternative decision that is healthy and equally satisfying you are staying true to your goal and not promoting the feeling of guilt that often comes after indulging in a temptation that you were trying to avoid.

Understandably dear ones, your modern world is filled to the brim with temptations even if you are not dieting or trying to end an unhealthy habit. Bringing in change always comes with obstacles and challenges and for each person they will be different. We know it can be difficult to stay on track and to maintain your focus but think ahead dear ones and envision how it will feel when you are done – imagine your success and how good it will feel that you stuck with it until the very end. We know instant gratification leads to instant pleasure but then it flees and is gone, leaving you with wanting more soon after. Discipline is crucial to your journey as an essential skill as it provides you with different options depending on the choices you are about to make that will bring you to your goal. When you have everything under control and are moving forward with every effort to accomplish what you set out to reach, you have also given yourself complete authority to take on any challenge and overcome it because you are confident and know where you are going with or without the hindering ability that some challenges come with.

It is understood dear ones that discipline is a skill that can be strengthened at any time when you put your mind to it. If you are going to make a promise to yourself or to another dear soul, make sure you come through and keep your promise. Learn to align your actions with your thoughts and exercise your mind and body into better shape. When seen objectively and with a positive mind-set, you will be able to see even while practicing discipline and self-restraint life can still be enjoyable. It’s important to find a healthy balance between your work and leisure.

Becoming more balanced can be a struggle for some dear souls, but with daily work and effort, little by little this skill can and will become improved because your goals and dreams depend on you growing a strong will and unwavering determination. Regardless how you may feel some days, discipline reminds you that perseverance brings you to what is good for you and to the outcome you have been looking forward to.

Learn to understand the enemies of discipline and how to maneuver around them. Certain pleasures and desires can be powerful and can easily derail you from your goal. When you are hit with difficult situations, or doubt has crept in, this is when the outcome to your goal becomes harder to see and you need to focus a little harder to get through the doubt that has clouded your vision. You will find a focal point that will help to prevent you from being too distracted by the many temptations that have the potential of bringing your goal to a halt or to becoming incomplete. The focal point you choose that will help you to stay strong will help you remember what it is you are working so hard to accomplish; it could be your child, your partner, maybe a promotion or a move to a new neighbourhood. We know within you, the Will that has always been there can be made stronger. Having stronger discipline and more restraint will improve your life and give your journey an enormous advantage – remember discipline is the connection to your goals becoming accomplished.
