Dear Angels: This is the last day of the year. I’ve been thinking about how I would like to establish some major goals for myself for the new year. There are changes I’d like to make and new ways of being that I’d like to BE. Could you give me some guidance and help me write my resolutions?

Yes, we can help you in these regards. Writing resolutions and goals for the new year is an excellent way to end one year and begin a new year because you are defining for yourself that which you want to BE – that which you want to DO – that which, in essence, you truly ARE but – have not fully recognized. So, writing goals and carrying them out is a way to recognize, acknowledge that which you ARE and that which you are BECOMING. Indeed, the two are one because in spirit there is no time. You are at all times all that you ever have been and ever will be. And yet, you are eternally expanding. This is the paradox of the HIGHER UNIVERSAL MANA – spirit consciousness – that you are. You are perpetually in a state of becoming, and you are perpetually always that which you will always be. Remember that as a soul and spirit, you are dual. You are light, you are dark. You are love and you are fear as you are living on your descending side. Now is the time of ascension. And this is where your goals come in. You have goals to ascend with. This is good, very very good. Let us address these goals.


First and foremost there is the goal of loving self. To love self is always the highest goal because to love self is to acknowledge the spirit consciousness that you truly are. You see, as humans you have not understood your direct connection to your Creator. Your Creator is the master spirit consciousness. The god consciousness is the creative energy within you and it is your guiding light. So – acknowledge the spirit that is you by understanding that it is love – pure, blessed, unadulterated, divine, total love. This is YOU. Do you realize how great you are? “How great thou art”? These words were uttered by man to a perceived external deity, but in fact the words acknowledge an understanding within the soul of man that it is his own dual soul and spirit that is great. You see, you ARE that which the Creator IS. So – to love self is to understand that you and the Creator are one. You were born of the Creator, and you create as the Creator did and does and evermore WILL. Be love. Seek love. Forevermore know that you are love.

Now, the second goal for the new year is to love your brother as yourself. This is the second commandment, no? These two commandments must always be first because they are the basis of all else that maps the way to elevating the consciousness. You see, when you acknowledge the greatness and love in your kindred beings, you acknowledge it in yourself. You see the unity of your beings. You feel the compassion for that which your brother experiences. You understand that you, too, have been in those shoes. You understand that you are basically one and the same. You are chips off the old block. You are apples fallen not far from the tree. You are family. You know the ropes. You swim in the same sea. You see eye to eye. You float each other’s boats. You dream together. You believe in each other. You are one, you and anyone else. You are all children of the same Creator, and together you inhabit this most magnificent of all worlds as you angle your way up the ladder of consciousness. Your destiny is illumination. Your light will always be the light of love, as it does indeed shine for each person, each Higher Universal Mana that seeks to see it. Seek the light, and see it in the eyes of your fellow man. Within him and within you are all the answers.

Now, as you come to better understand the beautiful path of love as it is shared, you may realize more fully the joys of living life. And so make a pact with yourself to experience joy, full joy, in all that you do. Life is truly meant to be joyful. And within you, you have the capacity to feel joy and to see joy in the world around you. Look for joy. Know that it has a life and energy of its own, and that it seeks expression in each and every human. It seeks a home in your heart because it knows its natural place. So embrace the joy that seeks to unite within you. Believe that it is yours. And in EACH AND EVERY MOMENT OF LIVING, seek nothing less than pure joy. Make this your third goal.

And the fourth – it is related, because it is to be grateful for that which you have. Imagine if you can that you are an earthworm, wiggling through the soil, a rich soil permeated with moisture and minerals and tiny things to eat that fill you with nourishment. You have life. You have the experience of the physicality. You have prospects for acquisition. You have sunlight. You have rain. You have the pleasure of existence! And what more could you ask for, as an earthworm? But then, you are a human, with vastly vastly enriched experiences. You have sexuality, you have sensuality, you have masterful sensory awareness, you have a dual soul that thinks and emotes. You have companions. You have loves. You can learn. You can read. You can see stars in the sky. You can touch the hand of the one you love. You can sing. You can make the most beautiful music. You can write. You can communicate. You can arch your back and stretch and feel your bones lifting excitedly and your organs beating and pulsing with a richness of life that is uncommon in the universe because the human body is so masterfully created and so rich with potential. Yes, yes, these are your gifts. These are what you have been given. And each day you may awake and feel them again and again and again. Yes, yes, there is so much to be grateful for. There is no dearth of gratitude that may be felt and expressed for the magnificent gift of simply being alive on this planet, with the potential to live another day.

And as you live each new day, you may seek to learn. Seek to expand the mind because it is through the expanding mind that the dual soul elevates itself to new levels. You see, as an emotional being you are complete. You have all the emotions you will ever need – the loving emotions. They are already within you and you may express them to the nines. But the mind – the mind seeks expansion. This is the part of you that is BECOMING. So, you seek knowledge to fill the mind so that the mind can grow in its comprehension of self. Who are you, who, who, who who? Who are you? Do you know who you are? Do you know from whence you came? Do you know why you are here, living this life? Do you know your purpose? Do you know what you are made of and how it all works in perfect harmony? You were created in perfect harmony. So – it is for you to explore the vast domain of knowledge about SELF. Your greatest creative task is to come to understand who you are. Seek knowledge. Seek knowledge. Ever commit to exploring your body, your mind, your emotions and your spirit. These comprise your quadrivium. They are who you are. Make your life’s goal the goal of understanding self, because when you understand yourself, you will truly understand all that is. A very worthy goal.

And as you gain this knowledge, know that you can put it to work. Therefore, you may make this your sixth goal: create magnificent creations. Believe in your power to create. Did you know that there is nothing, absolutely nothing that you cannot create? Did you know that you, like your “father in heaven,” can create universes? If you can create universes, then imagine what you can create in one life on the Earth. You have such great potential that you would be amazed, truly, truly amazed to know what you can create. So begin today! Begin each day. Believe in your power of creation and make it real. Make your goal the fulfillment of creative energy. What do you want to create? Make lists, more lists, more lists. Every day make a list of what you want to create and then go about creating it! Why, this is the most exciting goal because you ARE a creator and to create brings divine happiness and joy. Do you know that when the Creator created his children, the joy he felt was so great that it is what fuels the continuing expansion of the universe? Yes, you, you are bringing joy to the Creator, because you are part of the awesome awesome energy of God. You are of the Creator and you will ever expand with the Creator. So – waste no time in fulfilling your destiny. Each day, create create create. And love your creations as the Creator eternally loves his creations.

To create efficiently, one must make a commitment to finding the physical time. So you may make your seventh resolution one that organizes your day in such a way that you allow yourself time for your creations, time to create. Organization, you know, is an ethical value. It is a value that acknowledges that the universe is structured in perfection, and if you want to work within that perfection, then you organize your thoughts and actions accordingly. I will give you an example. Imagine for a moment that you are in a classroom. Within that classroom you have a teacher and you have desks and chairs and students and a chalkboard and books and cubbies and happy drawings on the walls. The room is clean and tidy because this is the structure that allows for learning and creativity. And the teacher asks the students to begin their work. And the students do this in a variety of ways. There is one student who leaves his pens and pencils strewn about, and he is not so diligent in setting into his task. There is another student who keeps his writing instruments in a single place, and his paper in a single place, and his dictionary in an accessible place. And when it is time to begin, this student makes good headway. He is organized and he is ready to perform the tasks. So for you, you can organize your time and your instruments of creation in such a way as to respect, value and appreciate the beauty of your task and of your imagination. The two will marry. This is what creativity is: it is the marriage of your inspiration with your commitment to fulfilling that which you imagine. Be organized as you go about your creative expression.

Now, your eighth goal? Your eighth goal is to feel freedom. Boxes are meant to control and contain. But for the human creative spirit, you do not want a box; you want a cannon. You want to feel the freedom to traject yourself in any direction at any point, without restraint. As a dual soul and spirit, you have no boundaries. There are no guard rails in your eternal life. You do have infinite freedom. Believe in this freedom and understand that it, too, is an ethical value – a primary ethical value in that it colors so much else in your life. When you wake up each day, ask yourself what freedom will bring you this day, and what can you bring to freedom? There is an equal exchange, that is, you allow freedom to enter your soul, and you understand that as you express freedom and live it as an energy in your actions, you in effect add to the Universe’s store of freedom. Isn’t this a marvelous concept? You add to the Universe just by living an energy. So – feel freedom. Ask for more. Help another person to feel it. Do not control. Allow free expression. There is a universe for you. You are not limited. Know that you are limitless. Think big. And think freely.

Now, we are winding down with the resolutions. Two remain. What shall we have as these resolutions? To honor friends? To be of service to humankind? To be kind to every man? To respect the human body? Yes, to respect the body is imperative. The body is the temple of the soul. The body is your vehicle. It is your transportation through life. It is your creative work. It is a masterpiece. How do you maintain this exquisite masterpiece? Do you ply it with sugar? Do you overuse it? Do you subject it to abuse, expecting it to rebound instantly? Do you treat it as a temple with reverence and outright appreciation? Do you honor it for the divine inspiration that gave it birth? Do you revere every breath that is taken? Do you put only the most blessed and balanced food into it? Do you breathe fully the spirit consciousness that is you? Do you sleep peacefully each night, knowing that you are restoring your little miracle for another day’s service? Do you sing its praises at every turn, appreciating the gift of life you have been given? Do you honor it with truth, speaking only truth as truth is the only energy that can restore it? What is the truth of the human body? It is YOU. You created your temple for your unique purposes in this life. As you honor your truth, you create a field of love around you. Be equal to this love and this truth, for it is you.

And now, what is your tenth resolution? This tenth resolution shall remain the one that you make each day when you awaken: make this day count! Make each day your very best day. Make this day the brightest jewel in your treasure box of life. This day – no matter if the sun shines or not, no matter if the clouds cover the sky – this day is YOURS. It is your gift to you. What will you make of it? Live your day with the gusto and the verve that makes you smile. Understand that others cannot dampen your spirit. They do not have this power. You make your day that which you wish. Believe in YOUR POWER. You have been given that power. Now is the time to live it.

So, these are your ten resolutions. They are wonderful! You will enjoy life to the fullest as you live these happy resolutions. From the angels to the humans to the cherubim to the gods to all the energies of life in the universe, we are all connected. We are ONE! Hear ye, hear ye: we are all one. Let us work together to expand the universe. This is our destiny. Let us fulfill it with joy.

Thank you for listening to our words. We are grateful. We are one. We are on the road of expansion. Go in joy!
