Worry is Not a Noble Act, Unconditional Love is


Worry is a habit that so many indulge in, not recognizing how energetically stagnating it is. People mistakenly think that worrying is noble, that it equates love for another, and it is somehow helpful to their path. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Worry indicates a lack of faith. It comes from a place of perceived powerlessness. It is born from fear and doubt. It keeps people stuck, disempowered and uncomfortable. Worry is simply letting the least empowered part of you take over and trying to create from there. It is like trying to run a race while sitting in quicksand.

Once you realize that you have an infinite ability to create the life of your dreams, worry becomes a thing of the past. Rather than waking with trepidation, you excitedly embrace each day, wondering what new wonders will show themselves to you. It is like waiting for a package to arrive in the mail. There is no need to fear it because you know exactly what you ordered.

Don't Give Up Your Power To Others Through Your Need To Please

Be Confident With Yourself

Be truthful when you answer, are you one who tends to worry about what others think of you regardless if their opinions are based on your appearance or of how you think? Worrying about what other people think of you carries unpleasant energy that can produce equally unpleasant thoughts and negative self-talk. We witness often dear souls trying to meet strangers approval on how they dress, on how they conduct their life choices from the rumours they hear and they themselves help to create a negative cycle that attracts more harm than good until an overwhelming power from within comes forward that will end that depreciative cycle and the negative energy gets replaces for uplifting light energy.

Anytime you perceive that you are being judged, most times you truly are not. As humans, you tend to over-think and over analyze every single interaction and experience that comes into contact with you. Many times you may not be aware of this occurring because analyzing others seems to happen all on its own, you take in any flaws or imperfections that person may have on the outside without considering any goodness that may be underneath. Become a quick observer and recognize when you begin to over-think any situation. This is a self-abusive pattern and only you can end it. Purposely give yourself credit and compliments for any part of your personality that you like, and what you know is not perfect accept this as homework. How your outer appearance is viewed does not reflect your inner beauty or goodness. It’s what is on the inside that is most recognizable and memorable.

Build up your self-esteem by thinking good thoughts of yourself more often and pay attention to the smaller details. If you have become used to thinking negative, you know then this is a learned habit and as with all habits they can be changed and broken by the conscious effort of your Will in Action. Remember even the people or things that you consider to be perfect also carry imperfections. Not one person or thing is perfect, there is always a drawback or a flaw to be found, but to us and what we encourage you to see is not their imperfections but of the beauty that is there that is more than physical. Always put your best foot forward without trying to undermine or underperform yourself, accept that right now you are the best you can be. Tomorrow is another day, keep your attention to the here and now and love what you see and not what your Ego has been trying to get you to conform to.

When you worry too much about what others think, your own perception is clouded and small issues are often tightly scrutinized and even with such close up of trying to find fault, you are unable to see the good because you are expecting to see something that truly is not there. Create a new habit dear ones but looking at the big picture of your journey without the worry of what other people think. Know what you know well, since the path you are on is yours nobody else’s. Don’t allow what other people think control or hinder your development and enjoyment life has to offer you.

Make a list of what you are currently grateful for and work on this list once a day and watch it grow. When you go back later to see what you have added, you come to realize there is much in your life that is tangible and worthy of your gratitude. You have your health, family, trusted friends, intelligence, etc., through what you are able to honestly see without the viewpoint of others you will discover all that you do have and not worry about what you don’t. Appreciate dear ones all that you have achieved knowing full well there is more coming your way.

Many dear souls focus on the big things because they are what is easiest to be seen. We encourage you to find delight in the small things and see beauty thriving all around you. Beauty comes in many guises, from children playing with their pets, watching a seedling begin to stretch skyward, the sun streaming through the trees on an early winter morn, the examples are endless but we are positive you understand beauty is with you each and every day and none of it has to do with pretty clothes, styled hair, make up, or forced conformity. The eagle that soars above in the sky has no worry or care if you think it’s beautiful, it does not worry that it’s beautiful, it simply flies, it hunts and does what eagles do best.

In order to end the need to please others with your appearance you need to become more confident with yourself through accomplishments you have achieved. Stop second guessing yourself – every time you second guess or doubt yourself you are allowing your Ego to choose what is best for you when it is your heart that brings you to what is best and of the highest of good because your heart is filled with goodness and love and where there is love the Ego cannot reside. The more you accustom yourself to following the direction of your heart and by making your own decisions based on where you wish to go rather than what someone else thinks you will raise your confidence and find how much more satisfying your journey becomes.

Too many times we observe so many dear souls pre-judging themselves because they expect others to deliver judgments, opinions and other viewpoints. Your thoughts are very powerful. Instead of expecting that someone will say or do anything because of your appearance give yourself a smile, and smile at the dear souls whom you assume are going to judge you based on your appearance. Smiling helps to enhance your self-esteem and it illustrates to others that you are confident in your appearance and most importantly with yourself. Most people that are smiled to before speaking to them will return the gesture and your interaction becomes much more enjoyable and any stress that was threatening dissolves.

When interacting with others, there is always the potential of not being understood. When you know you are going to share something, an insight or idea don’t think that it’s going to fail before you mutter a single word, envision success from the discussion or interaction instead and find ways that will help you deliver what you wish to say and share successfully and with confidence.

Emotions and feelings can lead you to feeling you are on a never-ending rollercoaster if they are permitted to run rampant. When you are constantly worrying about what another person thinks of you and of your appearance, this only intensifies your feelings and oftentimes brings about even greater emotions that create fear, prevent happiness and bring more stress into your already busy day. It’s important to be aware of any emotion that is moving through you. Recognize what this emotion is and see it as being separate from you so that it’s not an actual part of you and slowly watch this emotion dissolve into nothingness. The moment you consciously observe an emotion dear ones you become separated from it and if it’s no longer connected to you, it no longer exists.

What seems to be the hardest for most dear souls is the acceptance of themselves. Because so many dear souls are so obsessed about how they look in order to appeal to another person’s approval they forget that the most important approval does not come from any one person, but from themselves. Accept yourself for exactly who you are, how you look and where you are on your journey. If there are things that you, not another person thinks needs to be changed, then it is you that must discover ways to make what needs to be improved a success. Don’t complain about what you don’t like, instead do something about it. If what you don’t like about yourself is fixable then fix it your way with your own influence and power. If you come across something you cannot altar then remind yourself what you cannot change could always be worse and that there are dear souls in the world right now facing worse physical conditions. Learn to realize that some of the things you tend to worry about are really, truthfully not important but you made them important through negative self-talk and negative thought forms.

We encourage each of you to access more often your Inner Self, not your outer person. Don’t give so much power to your appearance that it takes away from your actual beauty and self-worth. It is your Inner Self, the beautiful divine spirit that resides within your precious heart that holds the true beauty of your true self. It is this beauty, this simple unadorned preciousness of your truest form of self that God sees.

There are great spiritual implications if a dear soul obsesses over their outward appearance which prevents them from seeing the real beauty of their authentic nature because they are too busy collecting fast-paced gadgets and what people think of them. Your life does not truly become richer simply because you have accumulated many material items – they do not take into account the purity of your soul that lives through all you do alongside your heart in all actions. They are just things; you are real, filled with endless opportunities to grow, to develop and to become all that you are meant to.

It is up to you dear ones how your journey will progress, it always has been. End the action of giving your power to others through your need to please them with your appearance or to dictate how your life should go. Appreciate their suggestions with kindness and love, but remember this is your journey. Even if your choices brings you to choices that produce what you consider to be a mistake, this choice holds your power and provides you with the opportunity and potential to learn what to change in order to produce a different outcome. Be confident with who you are on the inside and allow this strength of inner character shine glowingly on the outside. You are your own person as you cannot be any other.

And so it is…

Your Egos Are Like Teenagers Lacking Wisdom to Guide You

YOUR EGOS ARE LIKE TEENAGERS

All are One, and daily this truth seeps into the conscious awareness of more and more of humanity, as you all – well the vast majority of you – move closer to your awakening. It is a done deal, you are going to awaken, it is inevitable and nothing can prevent it, so focus on the inner peace and joy that you encounter when you go quietly inwards in relaxation, prayer, or meditation knowing that this is the divine Will for you all. Doing just that is extremely healing for you and for all with whom you interact. It is what you came on Earth to do, you can do it beautifully, and that is all that you need to do. Truly it is very simple. Focusing on your anxieties and fears is very counter-productive, although they do often seem extremely important as they demand an enormous amount of your attention; just continue practicing letting go of them except when you are dealing directly in the now moment with issues that cause them.

You were created in joy for joy, that is your natural state, and when you focus on what disturbs you or makes you unhappy you are effectively withdrawing from that state. As you are well aware worrying changes nothing, it just adds to your stress and unhappiness. Be loving, of yourselves and of others, whatever the situation and refrain from judgment. If an error has been made forgive it, correct it if possible, and then move back into your peaceful inner space where you allow the thoughts of worry, judgment, and fear that arise to flow past you like the weather, without engaging with them. It is a bit like going out in the rain, you dress appropriately, take an umbrella, and the rain ceases to be an issue.

Every day you are moving ever closer to the moment for which you have been praying and hoping, and your intent that it happen is bringing it towards you, and because you know that, it makes perfect sense to be joyful, cheerful, and upbeat. Remind yourselves, when you observe the pain and suffering of others in the outside world, that this will pass. No one is undergoing something that at a deeper level of their being they did not agree to undergo. If possible offer physical assistance or comfort to any in your vicinity who are in need, hold them in your hearts compassionately while lovingly intending for them, and for every other human apparently caught in painful or catastrophic situations, to pass quickly and easily through their suffering, and onwards towards their awakening.

Awakening, as every channeled message is telling you, is your purpose, and not yours alone, but the purpose of every human everywhere on Earth. I cannot stress strongly enough that fact and the divine truth of the Oneness of all that exists. The sense of separateness that you experience as humans is illusory, no matter how real it appears to you, and the more you involve yourselves daily in the mundane activities and thought processes that seem to be so essential for your earthly well-being the more difficult it is for you to access your quiet inner space where you are always connected to your Source. It is from there that you can get a sense of that Oneness, of your connectedness to one another and to your Source that will uplift and inspire you, because that is how you access the field of divine Love in which you are eternally enveloped, and by which you are embraced.

Taking time out daily to go within and welcome the divine embrace in which you are enfolded is essential for your health, both physical and spiritual, because doing so brings into your conscious awareness the knowledge that you are spiritual beings whose real nature is Love. And by opening your hearts to accept what is always being offered to you, you will feel that Love. When you make a point of keeping that knowledge consciously in your awareness as you go about your daily activities and chores it enables you to operate from your true nature in all situations, even when you are under attack, and to respond with love and compassion regardless of any provocations that you experience.

Yes, of course your egos will continue to look for and immediately sense any attacks or provocations, warranted or unwarranted, directed at you, and encourage you to react to them forcefully to establish your boundaries by defending yourselves against them – and they nearly always appear unwarranted, do they not? But when you are making contact regularly with your true nature through your periods of rest, relaxation, and meditation or prayer, you are constantly intensifying the power of Love that flows through you at all times, by removing any obstructions or restrictions to Its onward flow, increasing your awareness of It, and thus enabling you to respond to any attack or provocation with Love, despite the calls from your egos to go to war!

As humans your egos are always with you, but as you focus more intently and consciously on the Love that is your nature, that is your Life, you become increasingly aware that your egos are not very wise, that they lead you into situations that are not conducive to peace, and you then find it easier to ignore or bypass their “guidance,” and their demands for knee-jerk reactions. Your egos are like teenagers, always powerfully expressing their rights, their individuality, and demanding instant gratification and satisfaction, or else! That is rather a sweeping statement because obviously not all teenagers behave like that, in fact vast numbers do not, but it is a useful analogy to which most of you can relate, even the teenagers among you, and there are far more of those than you can imagine now that the New Age has arrived.

So once again the message is about Love, which is your eternal and divine nature, and how to engage with it by bringing It into your conscious awareness so that the engagement becomes constant instead of sporadic, uncertain, or fitful. The point of life is to be fully aware at all times of your true nature, and when you are then that is what you will display and operate from, instead of from the confused and fearful mini-selves that your egos made for you and want you to believe in and spend your time protecting.

It does seem, when in your limited human state of consciousness, that to operate from Love instead of from your egos is to lay yourselves open to untold abuse and betrayal. That you are making yourselves utterly vulnerable, defenseless, weak. But, as you will find, that is not the case! When you are vulnerable because you are engaging with and operating from and through Love, you are invincible! When you are attacked or betrayed it is your egos that are hurt, that suffer, not the real You, and as your hearts open in Love the true You becomes ever more present, the ego’s importance and influence declines, and what used to hurt or upset you no longer does, or only does so far less forcefully.

You are not your egos, you never have been, and you never will be. They are like auto-pilots, and their purpose is to bring your attention to issues that need physical resolution in the moment – the stove is hot, don’t touch it! This is your turning! The traffic lights are red! – things that can cause your own or someone else’s body harm, and that is all. But what has happened is that because of their efficiency at those tasks you have granted them autonomy over you, you have given your power to them, and they have neither the intelligence nor the wisdom to use it properly.

When you reclaim your power, by consciously taking it back from your egos and their knee-jerk responses, and then intend to live lovingly in every moment you will find peace and contentment such as you have never before experienced in your human lives. You can only be hurt or offended if you choose to be. The true You would never make that choice, and no more does God, because there is only eternal unconditional Love and acceptance, anything else is unreal. Attack and provocation are of the illusion, not of Reality, and it is in the illusion, in the pain, suffering, confusion, and betrayal that are almost constant there that the ego has its existence, and so it defends it viciously. Do not be deceived by this insane and almost imperceptible part of yourselves that appears totally real – and in others often seems large, powerful, and threatening to you – and which lives in constant fear while trying to convince you that its fears are real, even overwhelmingly real.

As you move more and more firmly, positively, and, of course, consciously into acceptance of the knowledge that you are pure Love and nothing else, that small terrified part of you, your ego, will be lovingly integrated and subsumed within You, and all fear will dissolve as You once more come to know Yourselves as One with each other and with God.

Your loving brother, Jesus.
