A reminder – do not look to us to be as those that have spoken before. Each encounter we have, each opportunity we find to speak through a living, human entity, is unique unto itself. We have chosen certain ‘voices’ to speak for us because of the accumulation of knowledge and nuance they hold in their energy fields. It will never be the same twice. HOWEVER, the messages derive from the same Universal Source and will hold true in all circumstances. We ask that you open your mind to receive the messages as they Come To You. For you will hear it differently today than you will hear it tomorrow. You will hear it differently than the person sitting next to you. You will hear What YOU Need to Hear. Remain open to the unique message for you and you will hear it.
Addiction, you ask.
Let us start by reminding you that Spirit resides in each of you. You would not be on the earth today if Spirit did not flow through you bringing life to your form and breath to your life. Each breath you take is spirit. Spirit within is not something you can find outside of you and place within you. Spirit is there, was there, and always will be there – your center – your core – your essence.
Spirit is Joy and Light and Energy. Spirit is not an emotion – Joy is not an emotion. You do not make joy – you are Joy. You simply need to want it – and you will find it.
Spirit is there the day you are born – in fact, spirit is there, waiting for you, before you are born. The connection of the Spirit Within and the Great Spirit can never be broken. Spirit Within is unique to each of you, yet always part of Great Spirit.
It cannot be separated. It can be over-shadowed. Its light can be dulled. Its natural brightness can be doused – by negativity. Negativity is not Spirit and it does not come from Spirit – it is ego. It is thought patterns Chosen By You (don’t ask US why). Spirit can be hidden under grandiosity – negative and positive grandiosity. Spirit can be brightened by good deeds and gratitude. It is as though the energy of negative thoughts winds around the cord of Spirit Within – each time the thought is held, it winds again. Until Spirit Within is wrapped in opaque plastic crap and its light struggles more and more to be seen.
We have shared all this before. This wrapping in negative energy can happen in this lifetime or in a previous lifetime. Work must be done (often hard work) to resolve the negativity and unwrap the negative energies blocking the light and JOY of Spirit Within.
We have also shared how to find Spirit within. It is your purpose on earth to find and be one with Great Spirit, to strengthen the bond between Spirit Within and the Great Spirit. This is your only purpose here, really. Emotions are meant let you know how close you are to meeting your purpose.
When one feels the calling of Spirit Within but does not take the steps to uncover, unwrap and let Spirit shine through, very unsettling feelings emotions rule one’s existence. Many do not recognize that when deep anger and resentment fester, when fear paralyzes, when bad behaviors abound, it is Spirit Within trying to push its way past the ego parts that hold in unresolved negative memories and thoughts and traumas. The same is true for anxiety, distrust, depression, boredom, and on and on.
Many choose to use mixtures and substances and behaviors to assuage these feelings. Alcohol, drugs, pain killers, food, obsessive behaviors, angry behaviors, co-dependent behaviors – all are addictive and are used to avoid searching within for Spirit Connection. The use of addictive substances and behaviors only causes Spirit Within to push harder and the anxiety or anger or resentment, or whatever, grows. Sadly, many respond with more of the substances and mixtures and behaviors, thereby wrapping Spirit Within even more tightly.
There is but one way to alleviate the addiction and that is to seek Spirit Within. Truly release all ego and rely only on Great Spirit to rekindle the connection with Spirit Within. This requires Trust in Great Spirit and nothing more. Well, it often takes time and perseverance and a loving friend to see one through – but, ultimately, the key is trusting Great Spirit for all things.
This is not the end of Our message on addiction… The issue of healing from addiction will be addressed.
