You have a lot of thoughts here! Your mind is working, working, and at times churning, churning. Perhaps it is good to lighten your own load first – to collect the composure, and again contemplate your – destiny. Truly your destiny is to serve mankind. This is the destiny of all mankind. To serve each other is to serve self in humility, with love and compassion. These are ethical values that you – each person – will teach by BEING these elements. The ethical values are what we must learn to integrate into our behavior.
So in the days ahead perhaps there will be more opportunities to be in service to others. How best might one be in service to others?
First, by listening. So many people are not heard. We live lives of isolation. We do not listen and therefore we are not heard. To LISTEN to someone is to grant them the privilege of being heard, of being valued and appreciated. Being heard can be a tremendous healing.
So as you listen to each person, you can begin to discern how you might help. Is it sadness that the person feels? Is it grief? Is it fear? Is it despair? These are very human traits, and yet they can all be mitigated and lightened by the simple act of being acknowledged. To be heard and acknowledged is to be accepted and to be understood, which allows the heavy heart to be lifted and lightened. This is a blessing to each person in the conversation – the one being heard and the one listening. In fact, both individuals are doing both.
You see, communication is the exchange of energy between – beings – in which the heart is opened and the mind is engaged and therefore the spirit is touched because the loving emotions are always connected to the spirit.
So – listen with love, and this will touch the spirit, and the exchange becomes one of dynamic loving interaction.
With love, all can be healed.
Now, we are at a time in our human history when we must begin to look inward. For millennia, eons, we have looked externally to the world and we see many images of ourselves in the world around us. In the face of a baby we see our own innocence. In the face of a neighbor, we see some of our own hopes and dreams. In the faces of our leaders – societal, political, familial – we see the image of our aspirations and the image of our ethical values. And in the face of nature we see our survival, our connection to all that is. And in the face of our perceived deities, we see the image of our past – we see the images of our fear beliefs and our superstitions and myths.
But in the face of self we see our true spirit. For within each of us is spirit. We ARE spirit.
So let us look within. With each person you encounter, you can cultivate the love of looking within merely by being focused there yourself. Perhaps no words need to be spoken because the energy of self is what truly speaks. Words are – only words. But energy is real. Energy is who you are and energy is what conveys.
So – believe in your energy and believe in its power to create shifts in the beings that you come in contact with.
This is a very important point: BE on your best behavior energetically AT ALL TIMES because your energy IS what contributes to the mass consciousness of goodness in the world. For EACH person, this is true. We EACH have tremendous power to affect the energy that creates worlds. We are so much bigger than we have ever imagined. You would be amazed if you understood the immensity of your being.
So – the fact that this understanding of self is still so very limited – tells us that this is a good time to start expanding. REACH OUT! Touch your brother with love and affection and compassion and kindness. This gift of energy has the power to heal. It will always heal.
To be in service to others is the process of inspiring change and giving in the spirit of healing. Truly we can never heal another man. But we can touch his heart and soul – and the heart and soul being touched give unto the universe a stream of light energy, which is SPIRIT. Your light energy is your spirit. This is what we see when we imagine angels. We are seeing the radiant light. It is not wings. Angels do not fly. But they do radiate light and divine energy. And this is seen as the wings. Behold the face of God in the light. Behold the face of spirit in the light. Behold the face of the Creator in each and every being that you see, for each being is a being of light – no matter how dark and cold the being may imagine himself to be. The self-imagined darkness is only an illusion. We are consumed with illusion.
But the illusions have served an important purpose: they have illuminated that which is false. And to understand that which is false, we better understand that which is real. To perceive the real is to see love. You see, love is all there is. Yes, this was a beautiful song, sung by angel choirs and sung by the minstrels of your time and of time immemorial. Love is the oldest song ever sung. Do you know what the first song was that was sung? It was the song of laughter in the hearts of the new man and woman as they contemplated the beauty and magnificence of the new bodies gifted to them by the Creator. As they contemplated the miracle of creation that they wore as bodies, they laughed in total glee, in total delight, in complete awe and spontaneous joy. They knew that their future would be long and that mankind’s tenure on Earth would seem forever. And yet, this man and this woman took on the task of paving the way. They were truly in service to others. They gave their long lives to the quest of knowledge and to the quest of understanding their relationship to their Creator. They gained immensely in those lives of laughter. And as each of us returns to a life of laughter, we can become the Adam and Eve of our own time, the Maya and Amelius, the Hermes and Neada. We can become divine and we can help our brethren.
L, this is truly your pursuit. You have incarnated uncountable times, in uncountable lives, and in each life you, like everyone, have learned valuable lessons. You are learning to love yourself.
So carry this goal of learning to love self to those who you wish to serve. And to these others, give a hand that is extended in love and peace and begin to draw out the love in others. Remember that love is magnetic. As you love, you will draw love. It is a simple equation, and it works.
Love is truly the balm that heals all wounds. Be in service to others. Do not fear that which cannot be known. But be ready. Be happy. Be cheerful. Be circumspect. Be wise. Be compassionate. Be filled with the light of your Creator. Be filled with hope. Be filled with energy and enthusiasm about contributing to the betterment of Planet Earth.
You know, L, that this Earth is your home. And to respect the Earth is to always, ALWAYS Have A Home. As you protect your love of Earth and as you protect Earth you will see the light of your own heart shine brighter and brighter and brighter until you, too, will join the angel choirs and you too will inspire a sea of change in those around you.
We each have this potential. How we rise to it is what distinguishes each man and woman and child from each other. This is how we differ. And the differences are to be cherished! Viva la difference! It is through contrast and differences that the boats of life make headway through the waters of life. If a boat were like the water, then all would be water and there would be no boat, no vessel to travel through time with, through eternity. You want the boat and the water and the sky and the moon and stars and all of creation to be at your fingertips. This universal existence is what draws the human into physical form.
So – cherish your physical form. Respect it, value it, appreciate it for the miracle of existence that it is. There is nothing that surpasses the human form in terms of physical perfection – in potential. Slow down and look at who you are. And see the Divine Within.
So tonight we appreciate that you have come with questions. We hope we have answered these questions for now and that you will rest happily and peacefully.
We are, in love, the angels of your higher self.
Good night.
Good night!
