Dear one-today we wish to speak of you. Who you are and why you are.

We see in you the brightest of lights. The loving-est of hearts, the bluest of truth. You are strong, unique, brave, intelligent, gracious, loving, loveable and lovely…we could go on forever… All that you brought with you to this lifetime – and some gifts that you chose not to bring but which wanted to come long anyway – is within you. You have access to these gifts/attributes/knowings/qualities always. Everything that is part of you naturally as a child of ONE, and everything you have learned and developed along the way, is available to you always.  Today, you can be whomever you wish to be and grow as much or as little as you wish to grow.  All is available to you for you are part of Spirit, part of One, part of Us.  The joy you hold within you is infinite, strong and white-hot bright.

You all came to this lifetime with a common purpose … to grow and move closer to One – to return to One (because that is where you began – yes! You did!).  Each of you has different distances to go and each of you has different motivations for growth.  But each and every one of you has this singular and common purpose to realign with Spirit – to vibrate as One – with One –

You know when this soul path is progressing in a positive direction. And here is where we remind you, again, that your inner emotions are your indicators of movement closer to or farther from at-One-ment.  You feel those vibrations/emotions – you do not choose those emotions. You do not always know what to do with them.  You cannot choose your emotions, but you most certainly can choose the behaviors you demonstrate in dealing with them.

Key to remember is that these emotions are within you.  They are Yours.  No one caused them.  No one can remove them.  They are yours to own and handle.

Let us give you one example – Resentment.  It rises from a memory you hold of something that occurred in the past.  [By the way – resentment is, to us, the most interesting of all your emotions.  It literally means ‘to feel again’.  It is never used to refer to good feelings. Why, we ask you, would you want to feel a negative feeling again and again?

When you feel resentful, speaking angrily to another only adds guilt to the resentment and moves you another notch away from One.  Likewise, if you feel resentment rising and you choose forgiveness (of YOURSELF and others), you move a notch or ten closer to One.  You see?

This is why we say “breathe”. When you have an uncomfortable feeling, breathe first then react to it. Allow yourself time to find the behavior or thought that will move you closer to, rather than farther from, One.

But back to you, you wonderfully brilliant creator! Your other purpose for incarnating is more personal to the unique-icity of your soul. Each of you has chosen to reside in human form in order to experience one another. Because all souls derive from One initially, they are all connected/not-connected. By interacting with other souls, all of whom have the same purpose of reuniting with One, you are able to learn from one another, help one another, guide one another and, thereby, know your true inner self – that part of you that seeks to be ONE WITH ONE. This is how it works.

You came knowing this.  Maybe you just forgot.

Some of you find that you experience hurtful and painful events while in human form. (There is no hurt or pain in non-human form (afterlife), by the way, – it is a human thing that can neither be remembered nor relived.) These hurtful and painful events serve to allow you experiences that you need in order to learn the lessons you have chosen to come to this lifetime to learn.  You cannot know heartache, and how important it is to avoid causing it, unless you experience heartache yourself. This is known as karma…Far too large a topic to start on now. We will address it at another time, perhaps.

What we want to convey to you now is how very special you are and the fact that EVERYTHNG you experience here on earth is for your best journey forward, upward, onward. It is all a great and gracious gift!!! You’re welcome!!!

Find the lesson meant for YOU in absolutely everything thing, and from everyone, that crosses your path and growth will abound.  It is a system designed for JOY!
