We are fine this morning. It is a beautiful, cold day in your area and it is a beautiful day for us. Do you have a question?
Yes. My question is about my work ahead. I guess I have two questions: 1 - Should I spend some time now writing a book or should I be looking at the motion images approach? Well, let’s just ask that first.
You can do both. There is no reason not to do both. But the main need is for the motion movie because this is the type of media that is so widely accepted and sought. As we had said in the car, it can be short. It can be taken with your own camera. It can be posted on YouTube or easily distributed. But to capture the video is to share motion which is a movement of energy in and of itself.
Thanks. I will think more about this. It will be fun. I eventually want to get another camera that has better video and still image capacity. And a tripod I can get soon. Thanks for your advice. What about writing and a book about marriage relationships? I feel inspired to share my story. But I am all the more motivated because I feel that I would be better equipped to write it if I am listening to you and receiving your guidance on it.
Yes, the book is a good idea, too. It can “write itself” in many ways because you have so much inspiration on this front. We will help you. We will help you write it. There is much to be shared that can help people use their relationships of love and sexuality to better understand themselves and raise their consciousness. You see, we use relationships as a barometer of our self growth. This is not how we understand it, though, that is, we do not typically look at our relationships and say, “Ah yes, this is showing me what I want to learn about me.” But in essence, this is what relationships are for and they do have that effect on us as a soul and spirit. We learn about ourselves through relationships. They show us who we are in our body, mind, and spirit. When we are down in a relationship, for example, this can help us understand how we are truly feeling about ourselves. We can use relationships to look inside ourselves because ultimately, every man, woman and child that we encounter is only an actor on our stage. We cooperate with each other soul to be an actor on their stage, too, if we are in their life in any manner, either actively or passively or just in the breath of a moment. All energy exchanged is an exchange of intention and of healing, whether or not we look at it that way.
So you see, if we look at relationships in that light, there is so much to be gained, because our purpose for being here on earth is to examine ourselves and to grow and heal ourselves of our fears and of our misperceptions and of our not loving ourselves. We must learn to love ourselves.
When we enter a relationship, we often walk in thinking, “I hope I gain love here. I hope that this relationship showers me with love.” But often we aren’t thinking, “I hope that I can use this relationship to gain a better understanding of myself. I hope I can use this relationship to shower this other person with all the love in my heart, all my patience, understanding, hope, and best wishes.”
Let us pause here for a moment and pick up on that last phrase. In your world, when people close a letter, they often close with this phrase, “Best wishes.” It is a beautiful phrase to close with. When J wrote his birthday card to you, he closed with this closing. But for you, it was an insult of sorts because you were looking for him to shower you with love. And so when you wrote him back a thank you note for something else, you closed with the same thing, “Best wishes.” But you said it a bit sarcastically, as if to say, “See, I can be cold, too. I can detach.”
We do not criticize here. There is no criticism. This is only to examine the nature of the energy so that we understand better our intentions.
I am fine about this. I appreciate the spotlight. I want to learn.
Good. It is only a microscope, and as we study ourselves, we must put ourselves under a microscope in order to see the truth of our behavior, or we should say simply the deeper levels of meaning, because truth can be perceived on many levels. As you know from your studies with Kathy, truth can be untruth, it can be relative truth, and it can be absolute truth. But we are interested here in looking at the layers, peeling off the onion-skin layers of misunderstandings and then understandings to discover the center of the lotus, to mix metaphors, and see the true flower within.
So let us go back to our Best Wishes. And let us look at the deeper level of meaning in what you and J shared in that little diad of exchanges. Perhaps on a physical level of the intellect and ego, you each were saying, “I am detaching here, but I want you to know that I still care and that I will always wish you well.” It is not an inappropriate message to share, although it can produce a bit of an ego reaction because it has a bit of a dousing effect.
But on a spiritual level, those words, “Best wishes,” are actually quite profound. They signify the intention of the spirit to share only the goodness of thought, only the best thought. So you see, you and J are operating on a number of levels, and as you see these levels, you can understand better how the soul and spirit are different levels and how the intellect and ego are different levels, and how we, as an integrated energy of all of them, mix and match them to serve our many levels of intention as a very sophisticated being.
The goal here of course is to see deeper and deeper inside ourselves so that we get to the heart, the very heart of who we are. And at our heart we are spirit. Spirit is the master love of the Creator. It is our essence and it is the jewel of the Universe, as is the earth. No mystery on why you are here on the jewel of the universe. It reminds you each and every day of the jewel within that you seek, whether or not you are aware of the jewel that is deep within you, or the jewel that is all around you.
We feel within you, L, the deep appreciation that you have for the jewel of your world and of your heart. You are a deeply caring soul and it is a beauty for us to see the love that you have, for earth, for Erica, for your family, your friends, and for your teacher and your fellow students. There is much love around us, and it has blessed you significantly in your life. Take heart that this love will carry you over the rocks, like, as Kathy says, like the river over the rocks, ever seeking the smoothness of the watery way.
I needed to stop for a moment. I wasn’t sure if I was still in the purity of thought.
You are indeed L in the purity of thought. Thank you for listening and for learning.
It is immensely exciting and rewarding. I’m amazed that I can’t wait to write. Typically I procrastinate to write because it is an effort, even though it is satisfying.
This does show that when we open our minds, thought can flow. We have floodgates, the floodgates of fear. Perhaps this is another fractal pattern that is reflected by the storms that you are having on earth. The storms show you that the dramas of your lives can be understood from many angles. Nature is indeed a reflection of the energy of man. Man does not understand how he affects the weather, the earth, even the Universe and the stars.
That was a tough one for me to grasp; at least it was a surprise when I first heard Kathy mention it. It makes so much sense now though. We are connected. We are an energy of the earth just like everything else on earth. How could we not influence each other?
Precisely. You are combined and yet only because you as humans have physical eyes you see separation. Nature does not see separation although nature feels a connection. Nature feels all that is there because Nature is exquisitely sensitive and AWARE of its sensitivity. You as humans are sensitive, but you are not very aware of your sensitivity. Does this make sense?
Yes, total sense.
So as you live on the earth, you cooperate with Nature, just like you cooperate with other souls in your relationships, to learn. Nature is one of your dominant relationships, but because you don’t have sex or give physical birth to Nature – you know what we mean – you don’t perceive it in the roles that you typically think of when thinking of relationships – then you think it is not a relationship. You think you and Nature are just passive tenants on Planet Earth – maybe subject to the whims of a capricious or vengeful God – but not related.
But believe me, you are so related, you are like Siamese twins. You are inextricably interwoven in terms of energy. You are energy. Nature is energy. The earth is energy. Your energies entertwine.
Yes, we do intend that word, “entertwine,” to be spelled in that way. Entertwine refers to the eternal meshing of energies. When you are entertwined with something, this signifies a master plan of learning, of engaging, of being in harmony or discord even over eternity for the learning and the measurable gain that comes from the relationship.
Look at who you are with Nature. There is much discovery afoot and trust that all is working as it needs to. There is no separation. This is our motto: Michael’s Light: no separation.” It means many things on many levels and these are words that you will hear over and over in our communication. We did start with this thought, didn’t we? – that we are one. That we are all connected. There is no separation. There is only unity in the perceived great divide. We are one. See our unity.
Thank you, Michael’s Light, angels. This has been very illuminating to me. I can see that connection better with nature. I want to honor all the teachings that you are sharing. I want to grow. I feel that I am. Thank you so very much for what you are sharing. It is amazing to me and wonderful and gives me a sense, each and every time, that I am no longer alone. I realize I never was alone, but now I don’t feel alone. I feel more and more connected and more and more inspired to live my truth and be committed to a path of advancement. I want to help heal the earth. I so deeply want to help heal the earth. It is frustrating though, because I have fears about all the bad things going on with the government and people’s greed.
Look to self, L. Always look to self to see the lesson and the answers for next steps. There are lessons to be learned in looking externally, true, but looking within will show you the greatest truth and the greatest light when you need to see light. Know now from our exchanges that you can look within and see beauty. There is great beauty within you and within every person on the face of the earth. Actually of course everything in the universe has beauty, although darkness is out there but there is beauty even in the darkness. The Creator’s light is truly the only light and the only thing that is ultimately. All is light. All is ALL THAT IS. This is a powerful concept and is really too expansive to fully understand within the human consciousness for the most part. There are limits to understanding, and yet there are no limits. Just keep expanding. Keep being all that you can be. Be committed. Be diligent. Keep writing. Keep photographing. Get those videos made. Be inspired. Follow your inspiration. Be the light, the truth and the way in whatever way you feel is suitable for the moment and the occasion. Follow the light you see. “Stick with the winners.” We have many platitudes in Heaven but they all boil down to BE THE LIGHT.
Thanks again. I am going to have a wonderful day. I hope you do, too.
Thank you L. Be in peace and joy.
