Part 4

Erik quote:
"You are loved so much that you are given the family (physical & Spiritual) that you need not want. We give you time to work on you, before the return to us, The real return to you."
***
What about today can I hold onto like it's the end of the world.... I am not sure, but I am grateful that I was loved.
***
It is better to say, "I will move there, to that spot"; rather to want. It is better to say, "this will serve me better- I will do that"... than to say, "what should I do?". Always choose what empowers you.
***
Who says your not perfect just the way you are right now? No? Are you sure? Why worry about where you were, why stress about where you want to be---If your not sure about where you are right this moment... Trust that you are worth it to find out.
***
When all the world has left center stage you remain. Spotlight on, audience with baited breath...... What will be your curtain call? I think I might have blown my last line.... I am going to try one more time
***
I've got a feeling about this life I can't quite put my finger on. It's on the tip of my tongue- I know... Part of me wants to dance, part of me is scared.. I think I have to choose but, I don't know what I am choosing...Maybe it's me.
***
"I can see all of you, I can know all of your thoughts, I've seen your actions, I've heard everything your mind, body, and soul puts out there. When we got re-acquainted I took the ole snap shot -right. You can still throw me though, I am not paying attention all the time, but, Right now I know you better than you know yourself. Stop worrying so much, You'll get there."
--Erik
***
Where have you been? I've missed you. For a while I was hiding in the dark. I was scared. But you're here now... Were you scared too? I still am.. What scared you? Lets find the light together and move on.
***
Just wanted to tell you, I need nothing. I want nothing, I am fine, good and happy. But, I feel my life is more complete because of you. Thank you!
***
Something I think about from time to time... I have to ask myself... When was the last time I said? Sometimes I just feel overwhelmed with:
'I don't know.'
'I was wrong.'
'I want help.'
'I don't understand.'
***
This was about the Spirits return to the Heavens. About how it's a process of remembering their true purpose and awareness. For many when they first arrive they create their reality around them, but it-like earth is an illusionary world, only as their remembrance of all that they are, does this initial or astral projected creation melt away and they become aware of who they are and their true place in the universes. That then they can fully re-explore their nature, surroundings, and purposes. Which is then the point that some in Spirit choose to become guides, or learn more, or reincarnate.
***
Yes, This; I was told, is quite common. Which totally depends on a large number of factors. Almost all of which are wrapped up in emotional thought. The mind is quite powerful and when unleashed from the flesh can cause quite a number of difficulties. To this end, I was told then, that our prayers-thoughts-words to our departed, Angels, guides, in assistance to our recently departed do help! We here on Earth can be a light in the darkness for the newly departed.
***
Oh yes! From some of the things I've read and been told that the more aware we are of our Spirits and who we are and you know, all that Awareness stuff, the more impact we have on the world of Spirit in human flesh form... and also that at night while we dream.. we travel and work very hard to help wake up other souls in Spirits. That we become guides, guardians, and Angels of light rushing to those in need.
***
The tug-o-wars of life has bound our hands in pain to the give and take of harsh ropes. Before our eyes movement is fixed on slip in place of mud and clouds of dirt. Only by letting go and looking up do we see that we hold onto ropes attached to a tentative body in juxed opposed turmoil. Let go the rope, tension falls away, breath is caught and vision returns.
***
Your next sunrise is but a reflection of your perceived reality.
Darkness falls quickly to the ever faster light of new Dawns.
There is always the hope of a new day.
There is always your Love,
All else can melt away.
***
When you put expectations on Spirit providing evidence that you want for yourself, you very often miss the evidence Spirit felt you needed.
***
So I got a new puppy right; well, yesterday it follows me into the bathroom, and the first thing I hear from the Spirit gang is, "So-how come it's ok for him to follow you to the bathroom, but when we do it, we get snapped at?". Sigh...
Yea, my response was something like, "Well he doesn't try to talk to me while I am on the toilet,, geeshh,, so there..." (laugh)
Nikki ----Well if he is British "Loo" would be non nonsensical and explain his attraction to the bathroom. :) I just knew the gang would have a comment. I was walking my dog recently, and a toddler in a stroller told his mom the he saw a white dog (mine) and a blue dog. hmm interesting.
Jason At Channeling Erik----I am not surprised. I am a firm believer in Spirit pets. Everything I've researched or been told indicates that our love and influence evolves their spirit and pulls them out of their animal groups. My mother in law still hears her dogs nails click on the floors and feels them around. I've also been told that our pets, once that connection happens will swap bodies/ "step-in" with other dogs to be with us again.
***
I will not be frightened
I will not be moved
I will work harder
I am not alone
I am not afraid
I will keep going
I am worth it
You are too!
***
You know what amazes me about life? That the experience of the little moment is just as important as the big goals. Leaning about love from a 5 second personal interaction can often be more important than anything else. I guess that's why its so important to keep a mindful awareness about our person.
***
As far as I can tell from what "they" say, we are everywhere at once. But this is really a Patrick question... ha ha... But, yes, from what "they've said, and my research", Spirits can access someone's higherself AND other lives if they've been reincarnated.... I seem to recall Jamie, had this happen to her once during a mediumship session. I may be mistaken, but one of the sitter's other selves showed up! As far as I can tell, Erik has access his other incarnated selves before, because he once suggested to Elisa that we could channel clairvoyently his other self that HAD lived and had children! Now, I've not done that, I've only seen fleeting past life images.
***
Oh, but all that access totally depends on the Spirits vibration at the time, their beliefs, and preceptions. The faster the vibration, the more they can see.
***
It also depends on what's going on right after death. The return to Spirit process can be a doozy sometimes I guess...
***
Yesterday, Erik said to me: "Until you realize your happiness is more important than your sense of should-a ---could-a, you'll keep making yourself miserable over your misunderstood sense of personal failure. This is so impossible. Accountability is not going to come to you out of the blue or from heaven. It's your doing! You deserve life's little loves."
***
It has been suggested to me by Spirit; On the interaction of you, guides, and angels...There often comes a point you have to be more proactive and say what you want and assign tasks.
But then you have to know what you want... what does one ask for? and why? Sigh....
***
Acts can at times have consequences of indebted Karma. But Motive always does. What you hold in your heart of hearts is who you are. That is why it is so important to examine your thinking. There is no right or wrong as all is but a journey of experience, but what is important is cause and effect interactions. --My Spirit Teacher
***
What's that music on your mental sound track? Make sure what your playing is something you don't mind getting stuck in your head. If your not paying attention, it will wear your player out. No one is going to change the record for you.
***
"Be assured that you do not have to let go of treasured past life. Many in Spirit take great pleasure in recreating with fond affection. Be it dress, room, or groom! The whim of heaven is often a lark spent on love." ---Spirit
***
"The Spirit of reconciliation.
Is the movement of love
flowing from bitter earth
through dug trenches of
forgiveness and understanding.
Long or short it's depth is
dug from the sincerity of the will.
Awash in intention, how far it spreads
and how long it waters,
depends on purity of purpose."
--Voices of Light
***
If you desire to bring about what you wish for yourself and fail, it's because you are holding on to the fear of what you do not want. Ponder the unselfishness of healing others. Note the modalities of the mindful healer. There is no doubt there. They see, feel, and KNOW channeled healing. There is no other thought than healing. So to must you be mindful of what you wish for yourself.
***
Yes I agree. In my case it also heavily involves my current attitude and how much I am "really" willing to change. Motivation to change vs, intention, vs, lazyness. Like sometimes, I say to myself, oooo,, so I really want to take the time to sit down and try and connect with Spirit for guideance and change or would I rather sit here and down a bottle of wine and whine... Other times times I can't overcome the guilt of actually "really wanting to embrace a negitive thought". Once I say to myself, gee... I really don't like this... and that's OK.... so then what can I do about it. Then it helps me list out my options and decide if I really DO want change. I think this is making myself OK with my reaction and the helps let things go.
***
One of my biggest struggles is neglecting to ask for help. Guides, Angels, and Teachers have a job to do. They are not there to just gawk at us. Even if you can't see, hear, or feel them; They are present and waiting. But you have to ask for help, and trust.
***
The wilted leaf leads to new growth. Blowing away in the wind, old spent life, will nourish new life. New life gives way to blossoms of growth. Growth is newly revealed beauty. So look at what is ugly, and know spring is on it's way again.
***
You can only overcome what you are aware of. This starts with acknowledgement and ends with acceptance.
***
Discord, Dissonance, and Suffering
Fall Away
Remembrance, knowing, harmony
Balance
***
"When we channel our beliefs into unselfish service of others; we participate in the God force within each of us and do our part to fulfill Divine purpose." --Voices of Spirit
***
"Be the person that you've always wanted to be. That does not mean you can suddenly become something outside of your current reality, but it does mean that you can be all that you can be, right now. Be love now." --Voices of Spirit
***
Erik quote"
"The greatest part of letting those in Spirit help you with change is to be vocal in what you want. NOT what you don't want. Write it down, nag yourself, whatever. Just tell yourself and others. Things come to those who KNOW and then ASK and then SEEK it out. Don't wait. Make yourself..."
***
Here is another quote just now via my journal with him.--
Sometimes I feel like a total freak. I can't help this feeling. I feel stunted, deformed, broken...
Erik says,
"So what? What do you want to do about it? Are you gonna give up or sit up? Common, the only way we are gonna fix you is to embrace it. I told you before, and it's still true. Everything you hate is for a reason. It's you, giving yourself a bitch slap. Snapin fingers under your face. Screaming pay attention to me. How do you know where to go and what to work on unless it comes to your attention? You wanna sit here and drool on yourself with mindless easy ass pleasure for the rest of your life? Or do you wanna do somethin? You are who you are. Who you say you are. Get up, put on some music, and shake your ass, pump your fists in the air and be yourself. If you don't like what your dancin to, change the music. No ones' gonna change it for you. If it means you have to leave the room or go outside to listen to your music, then that's what you gotta do. If it's too loud and bothering thing the neighbors, you can turn it down; you can turn it off and go listen to their music; you can turn UP your music, or you can change the tunes. It's still up to you. Now your prob thinkin that you want us to listen to your music too, right? Well, I am not deaf. I can hear you, you know. Who do you think changes your songs when your not looking? Who do you think puts that song in your head? You can listen to the message in the words, or just chill to the feel of the song. Zone out to the music inside of you. But whatever you do, even if it's the silence of-no music, just do it."
***
Had a fantastic trip with family. Biggest thing I learned on my trip is that so much of life is missed when we make assumptions and presumptions.
***
The court of your own judgment is the greatest tool you will ever experience in this life or in the hereafter....
***
I find imaging a reflective bubble around me and taking long walks in the sun help. I also do Reiki and light work meditation on myself. Whent that doesn't work I whine, cry, complain and am a general pain to Erik or my guides. Then Erik shows me in a baby carrage and him trying shut me up or he puts ear plugs in his ears and says, come back when I am done. (Grin)... ha ha.
***
"You can't focus on what you can't see. If you feel blind, focus on what is right in front of you even if it is only the unceasing rhythm of your heart. Within that moment you are present. This core focus is all you need to discover your next step. In this moment of introspection you will move towards a greater focus.This will help you think about what matters most."--Voices of Spirit
***
"The spirit who seeks and finds wisdom knows they live forever. The Spirit who shares it, helps others live forever."
-- Voices of Spirit.
***
"A change of thinking comes through action. Overcome suffocating thoughts by doing. Even a half toss of a small stone can provide better footing." -- My Spirit Teacher
***
Meditation:
I will not let others reactions hold me hostage.
I will strive for emotional balance
I will look for love
I will strive to see as much as I can
I will trust in myself
I will forgive myself
***
Do not dwell on actions. Do not obsess on possibilities. Focus on what you can do about how you feel right now.
***
One of the greatest things you can remember in the study of the "Spiritual" is never to assume. Human labels, perceptions, understanding, beliefs, and meaning are individualistic experiences that are different for everyone, every group, and every thought. (even to those in Spirit!) Always ask, always seek, always surrender to love.
***
Sometimes I LIKE rolling in it. And Erik's like, "Dude, whatever... Let me know when your done". Ha ha.
***
Working with Spirit is as simple as expressing your intent within mindful living through practiced commitment.
***
One of my greatest personal struggles is following up with action. Doing so with a positive attitude and love is also difficult. I am a work in progress. Can I have a cookie now?
***
Hold this thought: Is this that I am going to do likely to make me better equipped to serve my world, or be a better channel to spread love and happiness?
***
"Do you believe in the wisdom of the heavens? Do you believe in higher purposes that you can not see? Then do not lament an early departure from earth as there are ever greater purposes to achieve, for you to achieve. So then believe this, those purposes are truly up to you. Do not fear the promise within yourself. For you can do great things too." ---Spirit
***
Had an interesting brief spirit discussion about how we help move and evolve animal spirits out of their soul groups through our love; that's why they are with us on the other side. On the same token we can help evolve and move human spirits by our love, attention, prayer, thoughts, and clairvoyant action, and living by example.
***
"The hummingbird over the still lake knows not of trouble. Affliction is the wind against the feather of rapid heartbeats. Ride the winds of life not from the middle of the water, but from the quiet shelter of the bower. And wait for the serenity of the sun. Do not loose feathers in flight for then you can not care for the nest." -- voices of Spirit
***
"Think well of yesterday as you can. Think well of today that you may, and go gently, peacefully with what you might tomorrow." -Voices of Spirit
***
"The waters of loss and sorrow; the separation of life from life is a bitter desire born of body and sadness. But know, Communion with higher spirit in and within the continuance of life is a bridge over the waters of mourning." -- Voices of Light.
***
There is a popular line, "Make the most of life because you can't take it with you". I say phooey, not TRUE, you can. Build it in your heart and mind. What you build there will follow you where ever you go.
***
Many a quote talks about how 'The Greatest of stars shine brightest on the darkest of nights'.
Be the light in someone's sky and show them they are not alone in the universe.
***
I think the tightrope the emotional sensitive walks is all about balance. If we wobble to the left we step on responsibility and duty and squish it. If we wobble to the right we slogg through the muck of ego and attachment. But if we don't look down and stay focused on feeling the feeling for balance we might move a few feet more down the rope.
***
Yup I agree. It like so many things is many things to many people. Like so much in spirit I don't think there will every be just one answer. Love has so many manifestations. It gets really complicated -right? Easy to forget and get lost. I always have to remind myself to step back and think. Erik's good for getting my attention as well! ha ha.
***
"Do what you feel you can do today--and tomorrow try to do one more. There is always work to be done. Balance need with intent, weed out desire, and strive for love." -- Spirit
***
"Do not think of what must be done, but think about what you are doing now."-- voice of spirit
***
"Tame others fears, for there is no darkness but of that which you create for yourself. Show love and compassion to all and all that which seems fearful will be just another aspect of all creation. Heal where you can, comfort where you can not." -- my Spirit Teacher
***
"Any strong thought of love brings instant reaction in our realities. Have faith that this is so. Fear not it's origin. The universe would be dead if this was not a natural law." -- Spirit
***
messages from my guides during this mornings Reiki session:
"Some times not every experience has to be a record of your journey. Sometimes it is better to simply surrender to the experience and feel with all your being."
"IF you best intent is for the greater good, strive to put it into action every day and you will do what is right by yourself."
***
My channeling lesson went very well this morning. I was told:
"You Need to work on what is now, and not what you think should be. don't have expectations of stuff you don't know about yet, cause then you don't know what to do. Work on what you know and you'll be guided to do what you need to for the next step when the time is right. "
***
"Our life vests are love and we are pulled along by our guides and Angels."
***
Many times the message of Spirit can not be understood from one's current perspective. Time and further experience must pass before a broader view can be had. Upon new reflection, what you were once sure of can take on new meaning. An important part of self awareness is to remember that to see the road, one must often go up the hill and around the corner.

Is the afterlife real?
Channeled from Spirit~
"Throughout time, throughout ‘this time’; Humankind has relied upon mysticism, tradition, religion in the search of the answer to this question. And they relied on Faith. What is Faith? And why rely upon it? What does the concept say about us and the universe around us? And, why do we use it?
It is the inner trust that a subjective experience is real and has some kind of meaning to us. How we interpret that and apply it to ourselves is one of the things that define us beings. It shapes our soul-form. It’s a combination of emotion and inner thought that gets applied to our life. We do this to ourselves, or allow others to apply it to us.
Over time this thought/feeling evolves and is shaped by our experiences and shapes our very experiences. Is what others experience, as valid as what you experience? Which is the right path? Who gets to determine that? Well, the answer is you. You do. How you define your life around you shapes your reality. The right path is that which raises your spirit. The trick is to figure out how high you want to go. Where do you want to go. What do you want to do, learn, see, feel, know. You think the answer is without you and elusive, possibly even unknowable. But it’s totally up to you. The choice is really all about YOU. The answer is within. Seek the inner light of love. Let it radiate out for others to see and it will light your way on the narrow path.
How you interpret that concept is fine and right for you in your now, but embrace the higher emotions and let go of the rest. Each has their own journey.
Spirits, Guides, Angels, and the Divine work behind the scenes in ways you can’t see to try and steer you in the right direction and make sure you feel the love. Cause if you can’t feel the love you can’t pass it along! Open your heart to possibilities and look to the the light of your inner flame, and see it shine in the Heavens."
On the subject of: Is facilitation by particular Spirits an indication of inclusiveness (or being chosen)?
Our Angels and those in Spirit would like to say,
” Be light of heart dear children. There are no chosen. You yourselves, you choose your path. The choice of journey is yours alone. It is up to each and every one of you to take whom you will with you. Everyone here and in the wide universe of all that is has beloved ones of Spirit; Guides, Angles, and departed loved ones, and your perception of the Divine. Those of Heaven do not discriminate. There is no such thing as missed opportunities. The only doors closed are ones you close. If you find a door closed you but have to find a way to open it again, or find the side door leading to a path. It is quite simply a matter of perception of Intent. Motivations from a certain point of view at a certain point of time. The silence or “no” of Heaven that you think you hear is but a matter of perception. Love, forgiveness, second chances, and help are not limited to human perception, but rather the divine light of the heavens are available to all, a million upon a million upon a million times. It is just that you are not listening with proper intent and a change of perspective is needed.”
Erik's comment on the idea or term of Enlightenment:
“Yes, it totally depends on one’s personal belief system, level of advancement, place in the cosmos, understanding, consciousness, and state of being. Another fuzzy term, as Jason likes to say. When your in your human body you can not understand 1/1000th of a part of the true nature of the universe. But you can feel the light and move toward it. When you are in Spirit you see the light, know the light, feel the light and are directed to it with every minute aspect of your being. The journey to the source for both are the same, only perspective and understanding are developed upon a huge graduated scale that is non linear.” “Enlightenment is being one with the light and love that is the creative source of the universe. And the journey is different for everyone”.
A voice of many lights just called out to me: (our Angels)
“Hear this children: Just as the spark ‘that is you’ created, so to did you create the earth, A living divine source that binds the- ‘that which is to itself’. Create it you did; what was, what is, and what will be is but a product of your immense self perception. Love yourself and you will love the earth. Preserve yourself and you will preserve the earth. Take joy in the interconnection with the cosmos for in it you will find keys yourself and the light to the higher realms.”
Erik said and told me to tell everyone on the site the following:
“We in Spirit (all of our guides, Angels, and loved ones); We have your backs even when you are not paying attention; when you forget; when you can’t remember; when you are not even aware; When you are scared — We have your backs. We love you and know you, and wish for the success of all your loved ones in the now and hereafter.–No one– No one is lost. All have the capacity to find love and light and be reunited with their loved ones. The journey is not just about the there and now for -you but, also for your loved ones waiting for you.”
To all my Erik Website friends and family, to my Spiritual community. I just been given a message for all of us. The song of many, and an urge overcame me while surfing the net. ~J
“We want you to know that the energy that is concentrated through Intent within these websites and blogs and thus through your lives are manipulated by Spirit to facilitate healing and support. This technology enables your earth spirits to connect with US in mass, in Unison to share the joy that is eternal life. You’ve reached the light, music, and words that call out to you. It’s is our voice to you singing that there is no death. There is only life and it is good. Weep and despair not for we are with you always. Even in your darkest shadows we are the song of hope. We want you to raise your awareness of the true nature of all your possible realities so that the light of the Universe and all that is shines through your daily life. Treasure the small happiness in your life for these are the symbols that reveal your true nature. Reach out to each other and grow, live and love each other and life, and we will be waiting for you. Peace, love and happiness will be yours.”
(From the Rallying Around Chitra Nov.2nd 2010 post)(a good message for all)
I strongly feel it was more than one voice speaking to me. I did not have any vision per say, only that when I think of what I’ve written out, I See a wall of light. I don’t know what that means. So I’ll leave the meaning up to you.
Love and peace,
Jason
“The comfort you seek cannot come from an external source, but from within. Within your soul, you have the power to overcome your soul’s grief and pain sitting within your darkness. If only you look up from within, you will see that you are never alone. But a part of the cosmos. A beacon of love, a symbol for motherly love. An example of the divine love that radiates from the Source of all Universal light. A message of love to all who read your story. A symbol of love to your children and communities. You do not See right now, and the broader perspective is hidden by your grief. But through your perseverance, you will emerge into light before you pass. Glory of love and peace will surround you through the end of your years. It’s up to you to find the meaning of it all to carry you through to the end. Do you stay in the dark well looking up at the light and cry for the passing clouds? Or do yo hunt for the ladder in the darkness to climb out. It is a common symbol for everyone. How to apply our grief and pain to our future life. How do we transform grief and pain to serve others in our lives. We think we are stumbling around in blindness and in the dark. But in reality you have wrapped a wool cloak about yourself. We must seek ways to pull that cloak off. For under it is a shining robe of glowing silk. Wrapped in love we can not understand in this life time. We must seek to let others see the love and light of our humanity though our daily life. Sometimes that is as simple as a strangers seeing a mother’s love for a child. Sometimes that is a simple tear for their pain. Sometimes that is a smile of compassion. Often the biggest lessons and resolutions we will take from life is the contemplation of the long journey and the experience of life’s little moments. Destiny and the future is not set in stone. Only those close to the divine can see all the possibilities of what might be, but even that is always in flux. For we will not forbid the hearts desire. Even so, remember and know that your hearts desire is close to our souls wish. But the movement and change you seek is within you, not those around you. Find the power of your love, the power of your compassion, the power of your forgiveness, the power of your convictions, for they are your secret weapon. They will carry you through to the next phase of your life. You have much that you might do that you are unable to see. It is up to you to discover it. For that is the crux of human existence, to find the power of love within ourselves. To let others see that light as a beacon to enlightenment. It is up to you to accept such words. To question is but a natural part of the great journey. It is up to you to hear, up to you to accept love in return, wherever it may be found. It is a choice you do not have to accept. Seek out the peaceful spaces in the sun where ever you can. Close your eyes, lift your head up to the sun and pour your love out to your child, to the sun, to the Spirits of Heaven. Accept what ever love you may find in return. The smallest flower, the lightest breeze, the faintest warmth of the suns rays can be symbols of our love for you. For in the end it will be the memories of life’s quiet moments, symbols, signs, and dreams of love that will carry you to the peace of Heaven and into the next life. Love found will never be truly lost and will be rejoined all too soon in the Spirit Divine never to be lost again.
"Sometimes the smallest step is really the biggest leap. A small test of faith can catapult a soul across the greatest rift." -- Our Angels
Time and space are no barrier to life. Death and hardship are no barrier to life. There is no death, only changes in perspective. Life is eternal and it is good. Bodies are but a vehicle of the soul. We use them to drive the circle of life. A cloak of interaction to mask the perfection and radiance of Divine light of 'all that is', to fortify us and give us strength to endure. Ever seeking a new mask, a new cloak, a new vehicle, we ply the universe to experience all that is. Love, relationships, and Spiritual connection can never be sloughed off. What seems like loss, anger, despair is but an illusion of the mask, cloak, and vehicle. All we need to do to see, is but to step beyond and look, feel, and love. Hidden purpose is not life lost. To see that purpose, to see that life, this- only requires a new perspective.-- Our Angels
Spirit brings me the vision of Erik laying in a hammock on a sunny grassy green hillside. It is full of sunshine, light and cloud. There is a tall crooked tree near. A little girl in a blue dress, white socks, bouncing red curly hair sits with folded legs and shiny black shoes sits below Erik. She is pulling up clover and making a necklace. She says,
"Mama, mama, you ask if Angels weep... Don't be sad cause they cry for joy. They cry because you can see, you know, and you feel what's real." --(A little soul named Emily)
Then a voice whispers out on the breeze. "Inner knowing, inner feeling, and inner sight is the key".
Channeled transcript with one of my Spirit Teachers: On the nature of emotional pain.
me: I don't like what I am feeling. Is there any way to stop these feelings? Part of me wants to feel them. I hate this. I am in so much pain. I want I want I want...Part of me wants to hold on and loose myself in them.
Spirit: See,-examine what you just said. You want-I want... Where does that come from? It comes from the ego. Wanting to be in control, to hide pain, and fear of the loss of control. Well then, The answer is really up to you. How much time do you want to spend on these issues and experiences? And how much of your goals do you want to allow these issues to take over? What do you really want? It's OK to not know. It's ok to just be. But, if you do, know that you will be running yourself in circles until you are unable to move on. And when will that be OVER?, --it is over, simply, when you change your perspective or outlook.
Me: I want to move on.
Spirit: OK then. Simply aknowledge the feelings and experience and step in another direction. "Now you've said it, thought it, felt it, seen it, and re-examined it, now you need to just let it be, let it go. Let it pass beyond you for that was the past. Attach those feelings to the past and turn your head foreward. Look forward on the inward path. Look at where you plant your feet. Examine the "feelings of 'where you want to be' where you want to go". Where is that? How will you get there. The desire to move forward MUST be stronger than the desire to look back. There is no shame or wrong in any of these feelings, but we need to realise that to experience more, we can not stay attached to the particular experiences of individual fealings. We must step back and away and understand that it is time to go beyond ourselves to know, feel, and experience more. Clutch this new purpose to your heart and ask for help.
Me: Will you help me on my journey? I want to move forward. I want to be done with this and help others. I want to find the strength to keep going so that I can re-join you all someday and know that I can be proud of how I handled my life. I guess I just need to get down to the basics of love. No pride, no self, just love without expectation...
Spirit: You do not need our help. For you are already on your journey, we simply walk next to you.
Children do not despair on the seeming silence of spirit for we are with you always. That which seems like an absence of "we" is merely an the overwhelming of the "I" within that illusion you call life. Remove the "I" and only "we" will remain. You are never alone. We are here, We are now, we look behind, we look forward we walk with you on your path. We stand next to you while you seek the light within you. The path is hard, long and narrow. Look within and that is where you will find us. We walk within, in love, in light. You only have but to block out the storms of life and shine the light within you to see this. Do you believe us? Then it is true. -- our C.E. Angels
How to seek that which is within you?
You wish to take control of your life? Progress through life is about the experience. That which is, simply is. Therefore the best way to Live is through simple acceptance. Acceptance of that which is you. What do you want? Do you know? How do you know? Which is the right path? The right path is that which feels like the truth. No one can tell you this or show you this. You already know. The simple surrender to the quiet inner knowing is the key. For all manifestations of fear battle this inner knowing. The Fear is but your ego expressing the opposite of love. Seeking to know itself outside of Love. For to know what love is, one must know what love is not. Fear will try to give birth to doubt. Fear will attempt to hide inner knowledge and keep you from remembering what you are. That is a key. A Secret to Spiritual mastery is nothing more than remembering that you are here to experience. That all that is was born in love to know thyself. Know thyself, and remember Love. Surrender to the experiences and seek love under every shadow. Seek love and light will be revealed.
“Think not of the afterlife. Think only of life"
The Heavens burst with uncountable Voices all crying out in the light and love for mankind to hear. A call on the winds of the heart-mind breathe out in the hopes that it will fan the inner flame to light our way on the narrow path through time and space. Fear not and have hope for each turn of the wheel on each wheel has meaning, each turn is of value. For some the path is but short. To see and know the rising sun or to travel a switchback of life. For others like you in this point, in time, it is for you to remember, and to experience all that life has to offer. But you ask your self what that is. And is that even possible? That is why we embrace the never ending cycle of life. Ever onward must you march. But to find the way in the darkness of your creations you must find the secret light within and let it shine for all to see. In this new era, you and we gather together to reach within and shine the light that others might find their own. Look around you and remember the true purpose and puzzle out your reason for living. For only then can you complete the leapfrog through time and help each other leap over the edge to the next phase of your journey. “
About Channeling of all forms:
So subtle can be the difference between imagination and contact, yet there is a world of difference. When you imagine, you have no purpose. When you contact, you have a purpose. And imagination is in the background. Where so many people fail is not a failure of contact, but a failure of belief in your own imagination. For this is but faith. A lack of faith will sever the connection leaving only the will power of the dis-incarnate to fill the void, but only if they choose. You must seek contact with active intent and trust in the purpose of your intention.
--Channeling Erik Angels
The other week I was going through an emotional time and had developed quite a bad attitude. Later on during a group project with some of the C.E. members I had a vision. The vision led me to re-examine why I run from things in life, which brought up emotional junk. I thought his channeled reply would also be of help to the group.
I said to Erik,
"I feel bad, I don't like feeling this way. What do I do?"
He said, in what I call his teaching mode, (which is pacing back and forth and head down)....(which to me looks like a fuzzy blob of air going back and forth in the room in addition of the vision in my head).
He said,
"Examine the opposite of you wish to feel. Because that which you wish to feel is opposite of what you feel right now. That Which Pains you; examine it. To understand it is know it & to know it is to experience it & to experience it & know it is to "Master" it. Believe this, feel it, share it, and love it. For you are all of it.
Step by step examine your self history through criticism, fear, fear of loss, doubt, fear of finances, losing your religion, fear of loosing security, your parents divorce, your fear of relationships, friendships, fear of looking for promise, fear of future, love, sexuality, uncertainty, fear of new abilities, fear of paranormal, trust, fear of lack of credibility. Compare it to how you want to feel.
Everything that you hate about yourself, examine it. Everything that makes you different examine it. Everything that you love, reflect on it. Everything that is unique and strange, make it all your own. Make it yours. Own it. It's you, It's what we all here love about you.
What do you want? What do you want to do about it? It's about you."
Question:
If you have a chance to ask your guides...
There are moments in time that we feel total clarity. Those moments don't last long, but for that short moment, we totally know what we need to be focusing on...or, maybe we receive a flash of insight about how we need to be interacting with the world. But just as quickly, we lose it. Why is that? How can we hold that moment longer, and keep it in our daily thoughts?
I know that I tend to be very short on attention and multitask almost every hour of every day, and to be truthful, I see that as a strength- BUT, not in this case.
Do they have any insight?
****************
A)
I go through these same feelings all the time. My readings of such topics mesh with what I get from my guides and my higher-self and Erik and other Teachers. These moments of Spiritual and Life Clarity comes from reconnecting to our higher self, or our own guides. It can happen in all sorts of circumstances and actually is an intrinsic part of being human. Our souls are vast and no matter how one wishes to describe it or understand it; Our soul experiences 'Spirit' and 'physicality' on multiple levels. On the one hand we have our higher self. That which resides on the Spiritual plane. It is experiencing part of all that is through the connection of various energetic and physical levels associated with our earthly bodies. This creates a series of filters and blockages between our physical primal spirit, our ego and our higher mental part of our spirit. This is due to several reasons and has several purposes, but it is what causes us to forget why we are here and what we need to do to experience some of that we want to experience in this lifetime. Now from time to time, or perhaps quite frequently depending on ones vibrational level or where one is at evolutionarily in a spiritual sense... We have moments of clarity. Clarity of direction, clarity of thought, clarity of feeling, clarity of Spirit. We know where we need to be, what we need to do and how to get there. Some times we can act on this. Other times, (quite frequently) Our ego jumps in and blocks us. It fears a perceived loss of control, loss off free will, loss of current understanding. Many times our ego acts as a protective device. It wants us to keep from taking undue risks and getting hurt. But if we desire to become more self aware; we are cognizant of this. If we are we can take action to circumvent ego and return to seeking that moment of clarity from our higher-self. Sometimes this clarity will come from our guides. It's their job to remind us of what our higher-self wants. That's why it is so important to work with guides and angels or higher spirit of some kind to return to Spiritual clarity. The most important thing we can do is to realize that this return takes work. We need to actively hold in our minds, "Thought backed by intent from a personal perspective creates reality".
Here is something I wrote in my personal channeling Erik Q &A Journal today:
@Erik
I am trying to find the inner strength to manage my emotion. To understand. Trying to overcome that which seems baser. The primal feelings based on lower ego emotions. But I so often am conflicted and confused. The mix of it all... to sort it out is painful. I keep feeding my fire the wrong kind of fuel. I look about and see dry wood stacked up but I seem to want to be lazy and only blindly reach for wet wood. UGH!
Erik Says:
"You need to reconnect to positive emotion and hold it tight. Raise your spiritual vibration. Altering ones vibration is an act of personal creation. To create something you have to understand it. To Understand it you have to know what it is made of. You want to create change in your life. Do you understand that change? Do you know what you are made of? Are you willing to apply these two questions without any inkling of where you might be going? The puzzle of all this is to actively seek the highest most positive understanding of all these individual parts. Once you approach this understanding you can then go about creating that which is around you. This takes dedicated work. For if you do not strive for this you are simply riding out someone Else's creation unaware of your own power."
@Erik
Well, How do I go about doing this?
Erik Says:
"What are you passionate about? List it. Right now. Right down who and what do you love and why. Then under that write down any feelings that come to mind in relation to each entry. Bullet point each emotion both positive and negative that comes to mind. Try to contemplate why you feel the way you do about it. Now look at your list again. Is your reaction to what you 'think' you are passionate about a reflection of how you imagine your higher self? How do you feel about this? What do you want to do about it. This is a first step. It IS hard work. But it's up to you.
Our Angels would like us to know;
Fear not the loss of a perceived life plan. One of the facets of life is about how you perceive where you are at and where you want to go. Examine where you were and how it got you where you are today. Think about why the chain of events happened and examine your perceptions for that which was previously unnoticed. Pay attention to that which you like about yourself today. Does what you like about yourself today help you imagine where you want to be in the future? If it does, hold on to those thoughts and study them for further use. If upon this examination you discover that a perceived plan did not come to fruition; Know that your life has many plans. Many contingencies. Your spirit did not come to your world with failure as an option. Where you mistakenly distract yourself is in your perception of what failure or success is. When you focus solely on what you "know" IS; You miss what might BE. Know your soul has many goals. Again it is perception. If you walk to the highest perception of yourself you will be doing that which is good. Good by yourself, good by others. As long as you actively seek this you will invoke good effects in your life. Maybe not what and all that you used to or currently envision, but upon a change of perception you will discover that other goals and plans have been met.
So, something I've been thinking about lately.
Some of you have read or heard me talk about CE Blog member SoBeFreeMyAngel/ AngelBird's daughter Emily. I've had several Visions and channeling Experiences involving her. Through visions I and another blog member have had as well as Erik saying explicitly to me, I've discovered that Emily was Erik and I and others sister in past lives. She and Erik are very close.
Well, in a couple of those visions Emily has appeared as her higher-self in adult form as opposed to the the age when she left this incarnation. It was a stunning revelation.
I've been thinking about Emily's adult form. The visions I've had of her higher-self. The woman who's features remind me of Arwen from Lord of the Rings crossed with the glamor of Elizabeth Taylor. The beauty, the poise, the sheen of cream skin, the round cheeks and shimmering hair. And the intense light the combined softness, age, and wisdom. All combined with mind blowing love. I've been blown away as to just how beautiful this was. And just now as I was thinking this. She said, in disembodied thought. " Our higher-selves or our soul images; Our soul images are always a culmination of everything that is good, beautiful, about ourselves. It is a projection of the Divine within each of us. A snapshot of the moment of your Creation. The moment we started creating ourselves. That moment that has kept creating to the point I show you now." Then the voice and the wondrous creature I "see" flares in light and resolves into a little girl, who then in thought says, "laugh, play, live your life now, who you are never dies and you will always create who and what you are, who you will be, forever more. Love it, love yourself, because you are beautiful too".
A huge gush of emotion, of love, then hit me as I saw a little girl playing with plastic toy animals. Then the vision vanished. My eyes teared up and I feel short of breath.
Spirit wants you to know, that no matter how bad things may seem, no matter how alone you feel, that you are loved. They will stand by you. The veil is something you create. It's is something society creates. It is something flesh engenders upon mixing with Spirit in corporeal realities. It is temporary. Even in your darkest hour you are not alone. The blindness of tears, the lingering doubt, the hopeless loss, is but the mask of fear. Try to feel the illusion and and ask for help. Treasure the love, ponder the pain for transformation, and look forward to reunion of your choosing. Look beyond self perception and ideas of corporeal realities. For what is real is beyond your current understanding, what is real is right in front of you. Reach out and ask for help. We will be there. We will stand by you. You are not alone. You are never alone. Embrace the wonder of your self creation. Embrace your birthright, hold your power. Accept this and it will be yours. What does this mean you ask? It means love is always manifest. Love is always embodied. Love is always all around you. Will you take it up? or will you look away? Understanding the duality of fear and love is the key. Understand their manifestations. Seek this key and the power of creation will be yours. --C.E. Angels
Thoughts and Spirit communication:
"Thoughts are things. When you think about the process of thought, what do you think of? What does the process entail? Does your thought contain words, sentence structures? Does it entail feelings? Is it combined with single images, moving images, or are the words you think about intertwined with moving scenes in all stages of color. Upon a thought, does your mind leap from association to association until you wonder why you arrived at what you did? Is all of this mixed? Are you aware of these, as an experience that you can guide, control or interact with? Thoughts are things. If you believe this, you can interact with thoughts. You can guide them with active intent. You can direct them through intent to alter your body and influence the world and environment around you. This is an act of creation. You can visualize all of these processes within the waking dream, the day dream, the imagination. The imagination can become a path to Spirit communication, a palate of interaction. It is a realm of Spirit. "The term "divine inspiration" is not new. The term, I saw it in a vision is not new. The events unfolded from my mind. I see what you mean." These terms frequently encompass all of these manifestations of thought. Do you really see? Or are you limiting what you see based on preconditioned judgments, perspectives and beliefs. If you can approach the belief and idea, the thought, that thoughts and imagination can be induced by, influenced by, and interacted with on a Spiritual level; then you might come to feel that it is possible. If you feel it might be possible, then you might become aware of a manifestation of Spirit. That awareness of the possibility is a thought. That thought is a thing. Acceptance of that is a possibility that will engender more probabilities. It's a key. It is a key to communication. A key you always had. The trick with the lock is; Is the lock for you? Do you want it to be. Or will you unlock it and seek not only your thoughts but those that are Spirit?" -- C.E. Angels
Erik on Life's pain; Self-Empowerment as a path to Creation:
Please know what you are going through is a journey of self empowerment. A journey to remember who you are. It is about 'Knowing'. Knowing that you just are. What you are. What you want to be. You are at the crossroads, the crossroads of self empowerment. There is now a single action you can take. Creative thought backed by intent which leads to purposeful living. All else leads to inaction and loss of self.
So much of your past actions is based on others dictating their will for you. For many this is enough. People run to it. This is because being told what to do, what to think, eliminates the need work at developing intent. Your free will. It is a thoughtless endeavor they run to. But if you think about what you truly want you'll examine how you feel. Then you can choose with freedom a path acting under your own authority.
It is when you live under other's will that you run into problems. Do you really take to heart what others say about your life? Do you trust them? Or are you going to trust yourself? What do YOU have to say? Your decisions create YOU now. Are you OK with that? This is not some slot machine, you are the programmer. Do your wishes and decisions represent who you wish to be?
You have to be brave. Cause you are going to have to think and decide... or not. Making judgments and decisions about you, life, and the world around you is really friggin hard. But this is you manifesting creation. The very moment of creation. Yup, you've got that power! There will be plenty of times you'll have to say, "I don't know., I don't know how, I don't understand." But your gonna have to decide and choose an action or inaction.
Such a choice - A choice is an example of the power of creation. That which is Divine in you. Your free will. It is creation and by deliberately creating you are aware and truly alive. To be aware of self desire is to be self created. Self made. Most people don't care. That's cool. There is no judgment about this. It's your choice, your state of being.
Self creation without fear is one of the very foundations of existence. It is a great journey.
Seekers of external validation of Spirit seldom are ready for this inner decision. Seldom are they ready for personal self created truth. Who do you think you are? What are you? Do you want to remember? Do you want to know? Will you take steps to find out?
Others can cheer you on and listen but, this is part of the journey. That decision must be made inside of each of us. You might get mad and say, "why bother- If none of it matters and it's all up to me, who cares?"
The answer is, "It's up to you". You know that saying, "Know thyself" You think it's just some religious crap? Know thyself OR do nothing. Live consciously or unconsciously. You've been doing this forever to various degrees of participation. Since you were born! Now! Tomorrow! and after this life too...Most of your life you've lived with the effects of your circumstances but not bothering to do anything about what you want. Now you are becoming more. That's why you're having such a hard time. Your fighting your desire for self empowerment. This is conscious living. This is self creation. This is awesome. Keep going!
Do not lie to yourself with thoughts of meaningless life. You give life meaning, not anyone else. Seek your truth, your own truth and OWN it. You seek truth... STOP... Tell your own truth.... You can't find truth? ... STOP... Just be....Because you are perfect. Make it your mantra. The more you believe this the more you will create. The more you create the more you can share with others. I know you hurt, but be patient You are waking up. Understand and create that which you wish to be in the highest version of yourself.
I know you feel overwhelmed but be strong. You can fight for it. Fight for life and live it now. Just feel. It's OK to be sad, cry, scream, complain, hate it, but just live. Feel it through and keep seeking what you want. You can find it. Along the way you can show others and help them see that they are not alone.
Lots of love,
Erik
Forming our own truths can be hard. That process can create some very uncomfortable situations; physical, mental, and emotional. To alleviate the discomfort simply requires enough self examination to realize that you do not form any truth but that which you wish to create. Are you comfortable with "truth" as you see it? Do you decide what is true, or do you form truth created for you from those and that which is around you? Truth is not so much a belief, but a choice. A choice of personal creation. What does this act of creation mean to you? --Inspired contemplation via Spirit.
You all are doing great. We think you should keep going. Keep trying. Pick yourself back up. You will do great. Do you want to continue? OK, then get up. Don't dwell upon that which is fearful. Don't let it interrupt living for today. If you do, then you will miss what you need to accomplish now. Look backwards only for lessons to which you can apply to your life today. For then you will see new future possible. You will have greater insight. Always seek from a point of love. For then fear of the unknown will not drag you down. Love for you from those in Spirit will never diminish, but our support will only grow greater as your awareness of the love you can share, that is within you grows. Be patient with each other and seek to hold and support the family of your making. Heal each others inner weariness and share what you can. --The Voice of Our loved ones in Spirit.
Upon feeling overwhelmed and distraught at all of life's chaos; close your eyes and call to mind that which you wish to accomplish. Examine the list and ascertain where in your life you might slowly facilitate these actions in a calm matter. This is balance. A balance of life with the emotion. Seek this balance for harmony in your experiences and you will gain a measure of peace. This is learning process that is slow to master. Strive for it and you will move twords mastery of your experiences and as opposed to your experiences mastering you. Let go of anything that does not help you facilitate balance for this is out of your control at this time and will only guide you to mispreceptions and further grief.--Voices of Spirit
"Do not fear an approach to the end, to the thought of meeting with the Divine. Rather look within at your own state of being and be concerned with how you can transform yourself to a state ever more divine. For then you will have found that you not only have arrived, but that you never left. Life is ever unending, live this one now as best you can."-- CE Angels
--From Spirit:
"You were born in Spirit with the desire to experience yourself. Thus in that moment of original creative will, You split between the dimensions. Irrevocably connected, all of these sublime manifestations of Spirit are the Divine totality of your Soul. They are the organs and tools with which you make your journey. Belief in this is neither here nor there. Recovering awareness of this is a mark of higher progression. A change from a being working through experiences to that of contemplation and understanding. What you decide to do with this knowledge is a mark of your passage."
Voices of Spirit say:
"Enlightenment is that which comes upon the self realization of the soul. This discovery is ever changing as it's progression disconnects with the incarnate of the 3D and moves back to the original source. Awareness of and applying that which was gained and understood in each experience to further self realization. As disengagement occurs the soul becomes finer and faster in vibration and it discovers greater and greater space that does not confine it in space time. This does not occur in planer orientations but within the distances of elemental energy matter that concurrently exist within each of you now. You currently have no instrument to see or recognise the spaces within that hold higher spirit, but that which is the special organization and amalgamation of body and soul. This is the instrument. It is this instrument that you must learn to use. You create it and evolve it to ever greater purposes. You have created a manifestation, a cloud of matter and thought energy to cloud your judgements, perspective and memories to ensure that purity of experiences can be all that you desired without interference. The connections between all of this. All of this dimensionality is of course thought. Thought is consciousness. It is these many realities that self creates. Thought of self creates all experiences, all realities. This perception is your creation. It is a choice. Self realization of this is a key to Enlightenment.
If therefore you find yourself in a world to your dislike you must understand why your thoughts and perceptions matter. If you do not like your thoughts on any such matter you must seek to change those thoughts. How you do this is of course subjective, but one way is to think about how thoughts are formed. In your current reality you experience an action that causes you to react to it. Very often this is a negative emotion. Which give rise to thoughts about such experiences; which then influences your current perceptions; which then gives rise to action. This then further creates more experiences that will match your perceptions. Take this example. You see a man in a wheel chair trying to cross an icy snow filled street. It is -5 degrees outside and snowing. You are not well dressed. He seems to be struggling, but as you walk aside him in the cross walk, your initial gut reaction is to grab his chair and push him over to the side walk. But as you approach the cold bites into your skin and it hurts. You plow your hands into your coat and notice the man is well dressed for the cold. You tell yourself that he will be fine. You just want out of the cold. So you rush by but, feel guilty. As you rush by you then notice that the walk is icy and not sanded. You slip and wobble and worry for your safety. You look back and see traffic waiting for him and hope someone see's the man. Then as you reach the safety of the building you forget the man and allow your guilt, discomfort, and focus to build into anger at the city for not shoveling and sanding the walk. You then rage at the system for falling apart, and wonder where your tax money goes. Then there by, you forget the original creative thought to take control and fix that which is around you that you can yourself create. You miss the ripple effect of helping others, and there by helping yourself with an opportunity to enrich another and yourself at the same time. Now how to change your thoughts... To change your thoughts you must reverse this process. Take inspired original creative ideas that come to you and act first for the greater good. Then tell yourself about it, and ask how can I do it again. Think about what this says about you and the world around you and how you and others can effect it. Do this enough and it will change your views on empowerment, self responsibility, and conscious awareness of your place in the world. This is another key to enlightenment."
"When Spirits leave one existence for another, the previous one often seems like a dream. The existence currently experienced seems more real than the previous one. The previous ones become dreams. So reality is a subjective idea that we objectively experience now. The degree of awareness of this effects the ability to pass back and forth between dreams and now. When a spirit does this, interaction between dreams- and now, the dream is real. Your dreams, and their dreams. When you dream of them and are aware, upon waking you often say, surely it was just a dream. But for the Spirit with greater awareness, it was real and they were living in the now. To which reality do you wish to subscribe to? If you'd like to place limits on your reality, then dreams will continue to be just simple illusion; the muddle of the brain. You will always see life as married to the physical. You will be unable to accept spiritual life because you can not accept the visualizations that come to your mind as something other than a misunderstood mistake of "you". If you hope for understanding of some of the realities of Spirit you should try to accept that Spirit animates and manifests in all things, from animal to mineral to the mind's dreams. Dreams are a realm of Spirit. You create it yourself, Spirits create it; both interact with it, both co-create it. Most of you accept that thoughts are things. What are dreams made up of? If you can connect the two with acceptance then you will have yet another subjective proof of the existence of the varied life of the soul." --- Channeled from Spirit
"Do not fear the dissolution of Spirit. All things born in love continue to exist so long as you desire it. That which we love does not change. Only your preception of it. Do not fear the loss of companionship. For that is the path to devauling yourself. You are worthy of eternal companionship. You are capable of creating this for yourself. Only you have forgotten this. When you fear loss of this nature you are taking away your personal power to create the communication and experiences that are eternal. You are accepting the blinders of this incarnation. You are telling yourself that you are less than. This is not true. You are greater than that which you precieve now. Change your preceptions to match this, and you will see that you are never alone or truly left behind!" -- Channeled from Spirit
Behold the glimmers of the afterlife. Know that it is not nor ever was an afterlife, but life amongst you. Seek the glimmers of this reality inside you now. Show this light to others that they may see and seek ever greater awareness. Our light and yours is that of the ever expanding Heavens. The gathering of subtle awareness has ever been a key. Gather these glimmers to yourself and awake into the light of a new day. Create the beauty and bounty of heaven, now, here, around you. Wherein you realize this power of self manifestation thereby you reveal your true self. The self that travels through endless experience after experience until you are one with the realization, knowledge and experience of the All. Do not fear. You are never alone. --CE Angels
We sing to you,
When the heart strings feel unable to strum it's beat. When you feel lost, it's call so weak. So soft the beat is dull. Know we sing to you. When your heart breaks, it's blood is spilt, all sound is hollow. Know we sing to you. We gather you up and pull your soul close. Listen child for we will put you back together. We heal your wounds. We'll hold you dear. We sing to you. Are you willing to listen? Hear then these words and seek that which is Other, inside of you Now. Hold not onto what you feel lost but, what is born A-new. Listen to the sound of True Life beyond your current awareness. Take action and listen with all your will. We are but a heart beat away, For we sing to you. Now, Here, with and within you. --Voices of Angels
"And there upon will come a time, where upon the weight of subjective evidence will be so great that you will have no choice but to surrender to the experience and enrich your life so that you may share with others."--From Spirit
Children, Dry your tears and listen,
Can you tell me you've lost all faith? Can you tell me there are no wishes granted? Can you tell me you are all alone? Does no one hear your cry? In the silent night, does the wind blow cold? Hold your breath, still your heart, calm your mind. Listen to our voice. Listen to our song. Listen to all your desire. Call it forth, cry it out. Sing out loud. Tell us who you are. Do you know?
Ask us, we will help you remember. Take everything you hate and love about yourself. Lay it all out. Look at all of it. Try to understand why. This is the key. Turn and open what you can, leave the rest closed. Take our hands and lets go through a door. Take our hand and listen to our voice. Hear our song. We will remind you of your true desire. Embrace our help. Embrace your power. We are here always. ---Angel of light, voices of love.
"Creative force, imagination, feeling, belief, and intent create reality. Take all this - combine & begin to talk to the visualizations of your mind. Accept, let go & give into it. Want it, know it, feel it. Do not expect a certain outcome, but trust communication of some sort will happen. If you can't channel yourself; how can you ever channel others. Spirit uses our mind, and inner soul, imagination, feeling, belief, and visual centers in all it's forms to communicate. Do you believe it? Then it's true. What do you wish? Faith, Love, Trust, Acceptance, Know the soul and Love!" -- Erik
Do not become content, complacent with simply observing perceptions of Spirit. Give contemplation to what manifestations of Spirit may mean. Seek the meaning of such experiences within your very being. These inner meanings are truly meant for you. Give into the the experience and realize all the subtle influences of Spirit in your life. Wonder at why you experience such. We do not seek to bring Spirit to you, but seek to bring back the realization that you are Spirit existing within Spirit. These manifestations come from our love. They are not games, they are not peeks into scientific discoveries, nor are they new definitions of religious ideas. They are simply conformations of our love for you. We are not shadow nor twists of the mind. We are here, now, amongst you all. Throw off old perceptions and look about anew, for there is where you will find us. -- CE Angels

Fear not asking questions
we love to answer.
Though often symbol,
words are symbol too.
You become aware not,
for reasons beyond you,
but reasons within you.
When we are with you,
we are all you think
We are the light who's name
you don't recall.
Names limit your mind
they close walls around
what you can see.
Do not be held by
the chains of your own creations.
Joy is the creations within the mind.
The blooming of petals
the paint of thoughts
held fast to what
needs to be done.
Create with your mind
and let go.
Strive for ever more
perfect experiences
of your highest possible self.
Look to all possible light
and free yourself.
Never regret, never morn
for looking back,
what seems lost is gone
not because of loss,
but because it has gone forward.
Forward into light.
This is freedom. This is love.
Turn around again.
Turn to what is in the light
and strive to see
your path is ever joined with it.
Take joy in this awareness
your soul is awakening.
Know all hope, all peace
all that is divine and good,
you carry with you, always.
Unfolding awareness, inner vision, mental message and other experiences will bring you the awareness of the existence of orders of beings other than human in existences higher than your own. Some call these the Devas, the Angels, and yet there are others who seem far beyond in every respect. Know that the manifestations of the Divine in the Light go farther afield than you could ever possibly imagine. Know then and worry not. For by seeking to live without and outside of fear you too can join them in the never ending progression of your soul. -- Voices of Spirit
This existence you now experience is not real life. It is only upon the realization, that all your states of being have become one, will your real life begin. Lives and experiences and states of being beyond measure are telescoping back to and within you. Body, to Spirit, to Breath, to Spark. This progress in inevitable. Your actions, thoughts, and feelings or inaction can delay this and lead you astray on many journeys, but by seeking love and light within yourself you will always find your way. It can seem an arduous progress, but is best experienced in struggle. For then will you fully explore and know all that can possibly exist within yourself. By this exploration you will master yourself and progress to the highest, most pure manifestation of yourself. --channeled from Spirit
The purest perception of the soul takes great self-control, determined effort, and perseverance. This does not always manifest in obvious ways on the physical plane. The perfection of emotion and spiritual understanding is like feeding a fire. Only this fire is within you. You have to use the right kind of fuels. This is hard work. By striving to do the work of that which is perceived as Divine within you, you will bring yourself closer and closer to desired life. Strive to help your yourself and others on this journey and you will come closer to knowing about purity of self. Does this knowing serve you? How does it make you feel? If you see only love when applying it to your life then you are on your way to mastering yourself.-- My Spirit Teacher
How to progress the soul?
"Work, Do what you can to help the progress of your family, friends, neighbors, communities, countries, world. Start where you can. A little here, a little there. Seek ever greater and greater opportunities. Do all you can. Speak and be the best you can be. Eventually you'll gather the necessary will and qualifications to drawn ever up into a higher state. You will be helping your society evolve to it's highest potential.
Obedience to doing good because you heard it's a good thing-- is good. But, what is better for the progression of your soul, is Seeking the Original Creative Power within yourself because you wish it. What is even better, is to create that experience which will reap the greatest effect for the greater good. Seek this action, progress without debt and you will gain interest in your soul's progression.
The transformation of life should not be about waiting for good to happen. But to create that transformation where you can." --From Spirit
"Much of the time failure is not something thats gone wrong or lost, but it's more about a missed perspective. It's about looking outside of one's self and saying what's missing. What's missing can really only be found by looking within yourself and really studying your views, beliefs, points of view and expectations. Then once you really look at these; then you must decide what to do about it. This requires more internal looking because this is where your creative power comes into play. You get to decide. No one can tell you unless you want to give your power away. Once find the bravery to make this self examination, to do this work, and to make these decisions. You can then see that failure was never about loss or wrong, but about becoming aware enough create your self empowerment. Does this mean your going to be an instant success and life will be awesome? Well it depends on how you apply what you've learned to future experiences. Will you apply the same process of examination to future experiences? Of course not. This takes a ton of work. And you can't be CEO of YOU, if you've never ran the mail room. It's a process. So don't worry too much and focus on where you find manifestations of love and you will get there. If you slack off, that's cool, but if you do just remember, you can't forget about this new insight in self examination. Because if you do you will become overwhelmed again and fall back into old mindsets of looking externally instead of within." --Erik
Jason here. I am not sure this is a channeled message in theme with the other messages in this thread. I wasn't sure I wanted to start a new thread about it, so I'll just stick it here for now.
------------------------------------

Erik talks to Jason about Spirit's Names:
"So many people want to know about names. What is in a name. Who am I "Really"? What am I know by in the here after, the other side. What do my friends and family call me. Do I continually take on the name of each incarnation? or am I known by something affectionately. Seth called Jane- Roburt. Obviously this was from an affectionate shared experience. But equally as obviously a name is not a good description of the totality of who one is. A name represents a certain life. A certain perspective. But a name is also a symbol. And the meaning of symbols change over time, point of view and with knowledge. So what is our name. Our true names are not actually words. They are two things:
1) They are how we personally describe ourselves. But, by becoming aware of and exploring who we are, we gradually and/or suddenly begin to "own" who we are. And we project that Knowing out. This becomes a manifestation of energy. This mental energy symbol represents who we were, who were are, and who we might be. It's an energy signature, that is akin to a snap shot, not in time, but of current perspective. This is why Spirits get all odd when it comes to names. Because names are actually energy descriptors and do not have the same emotional attachment and meaning for them as they do for us.
2) They are how other beings describe us. Exactly as I just mentioned but from the other beings point of view. So when, in the other realities-- when a being wants to contact you, rather than saying, "Hey so and so......" they simply think of how that energy signature/ symbol feels to all the senses and they then project their own sense of self to the energy field. This is how Spiritual communication and travel is enabled. You think of where you are at, and who you are; then you think of where you want to be and who they are, and you imagine yourself there. Then you are there. So it's not about movement but more the process of imaginative thought bridging perception.
Now that's not to say that Spirits do not have names they prefer and are known by. Because they do. But you need to know about the function of energy perception behind the concept. And yes, you can call me Erik. That who I am -- Durrr.... haha"
(*Jason's note: In moments of extreame sillyness and antics, he calls me big baby or little shit but always followed by, you know I love you).... :)
"There are those who do not wish to pray. There are those who find it difficult to study. There are those who find meditation impossible. This does not matter. What can be done is to work at something that meshes with their idea of who their highest self IS. Do something for their neighbor. That doesn't mean that they should totally abandon all other methods of spiritual activity. For it is good to work on every part of our natures. "
--Voices of Spirit
"Do not worry that you will become so engrossed in life that you will not notice your loved ones in Spirit. They are still aware of you. While your mind may be distracted. And while they may be busy in another existence; Any thought sent their way will be detected. And while they may not be able to focus on you right then, they will hear you and send out their love and attention." --- Voices of Spirit
What are some good Spiritual goals to strive for? (question)
-"Striving for perfection of your individual perception of physical and mental health in your current environment
-Development of Unselfish purpose
-Charity in line with your purpose
-Understanding and contemplation through acceptance of all existences
-Truthfulness in line with understanding and awareness of limited perspectives
-Faith and duty to Karma, outside of fear based emotions
-Courage in every situation
-Seeking to develop perception of one's spiritual bodies
-Sympathy for and appreciation of everything in subjective and objective temporary existences in relation to the Spiritual realms.
-Master the following to your highest self perception: body, inner and outer senses, faults, pain, mind, intellect, spirit, energy, thoughts, emotions, will, ego, desires, dreams
This seems an impossible task. What and how can I possibly strive to any of this, I am nobody! (question)
---"Look out upon your entire world. Look at the entire globe. Look through all of history that you can comprehend. Billions and billions of souls. So many undeveloped and unaware. But in all those winking lights, sparks of soul, little lights reflecting the divine source, in all that thick clamor there are bright flames approaching. Even at great distances your light burns bright and lights the way for your fellow mankind. These flames are your gathering awareness of Spirit. You are beacons in the dark. Now stop looking out into the dark at their lights; and focus on your inner flame, and grow your light. Feed it greater and greater things so that your light shines for all. Fear not that you will not be seen. Trust in yourself. Your very desire for change was the wind that made your inner spark burst with divine flame! Angles of love come to you now."-- Voices of Angels
The most important meditation, the strongest mantra, the best affirmation you can say, do, or participate in, is one of self love. It's a key to awareness. It's a key to remembering who you are. Only you can open that door. In the darkest night, during the worst of life; Sit now, and look at yourself in your mind. Look at the key in your hand and just say over and over again. I can. I am worth it. I will try again. I will love me. I will Love you, love others, and let others love me. Go now and seek that. It is a key. A key to life. One of the most important achievements you will ever do! Live love now. Any thing else gets you nothing. Seeking to live love now will get you everything.
---Voice of light on the wind of the minds eye
Live mindfully by example
Many people follow Spiritual Masters of all persuasions. There is much good in the world. One of the most useful things we can do is to lay our thoughts on any topic next to those we look up to. Compare your thoughts to what you imagine theirs to be. Seek to remove any tendencies to extreme and lack of understanding. Either examine what does not feel right or let it go. Look within you for what you admire in your Spiritual Master and try to live up to it. Imagine what it must be like to be next to them. Hold your impression of them in your mind as best you can. And then ponder how you must look in their eyes. Ignore any imagined or real shame, fear, disappointment, anger and despair, and look closely at what you might want to change about yourself. For this will always represent a choice. The creative free will that will set you free. Imagine why such a being might love you. Try to accept it and strive to create more of it in your life. You can do this. You are surrounded by love and can reflect it back if you so choose to live mindfully. -- My Spirit Teacher
Never give up:
People often complain that they can not achieve Spiritual progression, communion, and advancement. So they focus on the problems of their reality.
This is a 180 in truth. They need to turn around and try to see that what they are seeking is the opposite of how they precieve life.
It is so important that you never give up. No matter how many times you think you fail at an experience; No matter how many road blocks you run into; Your reason for being, for living still exists. There are many things in your reality that is impossible depending on your progression. You can not climb a mountain until you know about the right equipment. And you can not understand how to use the equipment until you acquire that equipment; And you can not ascend the mountain until you arrive with all your gear at it's foot. This is life. Step by step by step.
In communion with Spirit these tasks are simpler. For you have the whole of the heavens waiting to help you. You have the whole of your divine power that you can use. So that by step by step and never giving up you can overcome, succeed, grow, and be happy with love found where ever you may seek it. You just have to take that first step. --Spirit, Words of love.
Question to the Gang:
So I read and hear that "we" are multidimensional souls. Our soul is made up of many parts, levels, and has various functionality. Just like organs of a body. And that our soul experiences multiple 3D realities at any given time. Past lives, future lives, parallel lives, other bodies, other existences. So my question is, When our currently perceived body dies; Which of these perceived lives are we upon arrival in the afterlife? Who are we? what do we look like? Which one will be us?
E's Answer:
"Any thing you want! Whatever, whomever, and whenever you wish! That's the beauty of being a divine being. Your thoughts create your reality. Everything you ever were, Everything you will ever be, every 'thing' you are NOW, you will be and currently ARE in the here after. You are vast. You are an expression of all that is. Embrace who you are. Fear not, for you are eternal, wonderful, and the only limit to your experience is all that you can possibly perceive. Study your thoughts and live fearlessly and joyfully for you have an eternity to be an eternal being!"
What brings you joy?
The other day I asked E and my guides how things were going with me. I was thinking about my life so far, the past, I asked them how I was doing and I said, 'What should I do now? Where should I go with all "this" What should I be doing?"
They said, " Whatever brings you the most joy".
I was a little shocked at the simplicity of the message. It's such a seemingly small idea that I think everyone always overlooks. They want elaborate heavy detailed instructions. But in reality what makes life truly worth living is finding joy and love where we can. We often think that it has to, or should be others that provide this for us. But what will always work the best is finding our own joy through love in whatever we do. I think much of the time we get wrapped up in improper guilt and shame over such an idea. I think it's time to get over that and see that we are worth finding and keeping that which is joyful.
Fear not the pain of loss. For what is lost is but only misplaced in the forgetfulness of this life. Look not in the attitude "it was taken from me" but look to the view-- "my love has returned home to be reunited with their rightful place". For only then to we truly honor their path. We do not mock your grief but we tell you now; They not only wait for you, they can walk with you now. Turn your thoughts to their light and know they reach out to the blind illusion of this world-form that you are camped in. You are never alone. Your tears can be dried in the loving knowledge that you add their old journey to yours. This can seem like the longest most difficult path. Fear not, we will ever hold light out to you. Let them see your love by living not because of your loss but in spite of it. Loss of life should not be looked at with blame. For loss is an illusion that will be overcome sooner than you think. Time on this world is fleeting and brief, it is meant to be lived with fierce joy and love. There is nothing in your struggle of overcoming this pain that can not be turned to good. There is nothing in overcoming this experience that can not make the love in your soul shine brighter, true, and pure. Work to discover qualities of your personality that are strong. Share yourself with others. Help them bare their pain. Find compassion for others and yourself to keep living. Do not fear, do not succumb to self doubt. This you can overcome. We will help you. Ask and we will be there. Cry and we will hold you. Live life with thankfulness for all you have and we will sing of you. -- CE. Angels
A message from Spirit--03/18/2011
*Jason here. Last night I was overcome by Spirit and felt compelled to write. I kept being interrupted from family activities and felt overwhelmed to rush to my note pad. Voices called to me in my head and I wrote what they said. I feel it was voices of guides, angels, and our loved ones. I personally don't feel I can relate to much of it, but I was asked to present it anyway. Lots of love, Jason
*****************************
Voices of Spirit to the CE community:
"There are many who see their deceased loved ones as being silent. There are many possible reasons for this. But you must remember you are all on different journeys. You are all at different levels of perception, awareness, understanding and belief. So to, are those in Spirit. Every being is a force unto themselves. And you do yourself great dishonor when you assign blame to yourself for a perceived lack of communication. You must keep hope that your love will be true to yourself. That your loved ones evolution has engendered the ability to receive that love. For love never dies. Only our ability to experience love is influenced by the reality we create for ourselves. In the past, present and future, as well in other realities. Discovering this is a process of growth, learning, and evolution of personal awareness. For you and for your loved ones. It would be a mistake to assign blame or reasons for a perceived lack of communication. Rather it is it best to think about what you might learn about yourself from this experience and how you can share and support others in spite of your experience.
It is vital to never give up and to move your views and attitudes to how you can support those around you within love, without expectation. But do not fear this as giving up, giving in, or loosing your loved ones yet again. For even if they are stuck in a reality of their making, or their emotional state does not lend itself to communication, there is still hope. You can not possibly know all the reasons for a perceived lack of communication. Even if this experience is somehow part of your life plan for emotional experiences, you can still bring positive change. Prayer for those who need help in Spirit does work! It is always heard. All of those in higher spirit can hear your love projected. Your love will strengthen those who would go to your loved ones. They are flares of light in clouded darkness. They are calls of hope, calls of love. And upon hearing the calls your loved ones will eventually look up and reach out to Angels, guides, and loved ones of hope, to continue their journey of self discovery. Eventually upon doing so they will hear your love. Love never dies. It is only transformed. Have faith in yourself. Share it with others.
Never see silence as loss. Never see reasons of loss directed at you. Never fear, but see these experiences as an opportunity for personal growth.
Many times you experience great grief in your life at the loss of family and friends. During the process of dealing with this grief you often encounter evidence and experiences of the continuance of life. Many times as with this community, you experience fluctuation in communication levels, awareness, and a sense of closeness or nearness. And then as time passes you experience fluctuation in that spiritual presence. So that at times you feel the spirits of your loved ones seem to move on or become more and more absent from your presence.
The terms and phrases: lingering , moving on, holding them back, visitations; Can be confusing and incomplete when you try to give them meaning. They do not quite work like you think they do. This is because you are working with incomplete information. In part, information that will never be totally complete. But as humans you need to assign meaning to the world around you, to interpret your experiences.
View of dis-incarnate vs/ incarnate on these topics are really about a process. For the dis-incarnate spirit it is about remembering upon arrival in the so called afterlife. It is also dependent on variables of their personality and spiritual evolution. And it all changes based on their emotional state, spiritual callings, and interests.
Humans are often confused.They are trying to interpret objectively an experience that is always subjective to your point of view. To properly deal with these terms and experiences a change in thinking is necessary. A change in perspective. View loss as not something gone or taken from oneself, but to a view of a process of gain, growth, and discovery of every greater love. It is actually like raising a child or the process of growing up. Upon each new spiritual transformation, this process repeats itself to a certain extent. Being reborn; self discovery; remembering or finding out who you are; acting out; learning; careers; hobbies; family; then returning; new awareness.
All these terms really represent--Not loss, but a process of discovery to ever higher callings. This process is simply a continuation of what you go through in your time on earth. It is among other things, yet another process central to being human. These types of processes and growth do not change on the other side as you like to think. It is your perception that causes confusion.
Just like a forgetful teen going off on their own there are some Spirits who-new to the return to Spirit life; can seem to cause a misunderstanding in themselves and you by their perceived actions or lack there of. They have deep impulses toward self discovery so that in their current incomplete awareness they feel the need as you perceive to move on. But, what they discover is that rather moving on is a poor choice of terms to relate to their loved ones left behind. It is actually a process of realizing their higher self, NOT leaving you.
Another misinterpretation you make is that, one of the #1 things Spirit wants us to know, do, remember, is to live in the now and complete your life goals. Whatever you wanted to experience, learn. What you want to work on emotionally, spiritually, ect. So sometimes your loved ones in Spirit seem to leave or 'move on'. But, rather they are trying to turn you back to yourself. They are not gone but waiting for you to come back into proper thinking.
Higher Spirit never abandons but waits for healing and works in ways you can not currently perceive. They wait for changes in emotion, perception, and EXPECTATION, for the greater good. For even the highest of beings come to you or send their messages, messengers, love, and communication. Life is NEVER lost. And Love is ALWAYS transformed into higher and greater love. "
Emily says:
" The beauty of the universe is never kept from you. By seeking to grow every opportunity experience gives us you will reach higher more positive feelings and open more doors for communication. When you say, "you are gone from me, I can't feel you anymore, you must be free"; You often forget to free yourself. If you never give up and keep trying, you will come to hear us and see us through many aspects of creation. You will eventually find that you can create experiences that will help bring about such communication. Don't have expectations of Spirit, or communication. Do not grieve over your expectations or how you see things. But explore your expectations of how you wish to experience communication. Explore how you wish your life to be-- given your new circumstances. How might you change your reality for the better? If you don't know, or don't wish to be, live or go on; Explore those feelings. Look at them honestly. Only by staring at them in the face can you find out some of who your are and how you can help others through your experiences. Even if you can not see, now, then, or later. Its about the emotional process. Both now and for those in the here-after. In the end it will always be about moving into love."
Andy says:
"We are not asking you to let go and move on or saying that we can't be there for you. We are saying we want you to come back to yourself. This is about your journey. Not ours. We all love you so much and we want you to love again. We want you to remember that death is not a brick wall, it is an illusion. It can be confusing, it can seem like an huge hole. A grave is not a dead thing, it is a pile of clothes. We have new clothes now. We love you. We have lives here just like you have lives there. Just like kids who start off to college sometimes the kids and the parents each seem to get wrapped up in the new life, but as life happens we move back to those we love. When it matters we call home and love. We make visits. Just be patient and hang in there. We got school here, and you got your stuff there too. Just wait, pretty soon we'll all be home for the holidays, together again.
Chris says:
Same here. When I first came here I tried very hard to stay focused on those I left behind and my life here. It was wild. I couldnt believe all possibilities in the universe. So much to do, so much to see, I often didn't know what to do or where to start, so I just ran and ran and tried to get in as much as possible. It can really be overwhelming sometimes and exciting. At the same time I focused really hard on mom. But as my time here progressed I began to remember more and more of who I was and I realised new things about myself and what I wanted to to do and accomplish. But I felt kinda like a kid. I kinda knew what I wanted to do but I didn't know quite how to start. So I tried different things. And a lot of that came across as miscommunication and silence to mom. It was hard to balance what was best for me, and what her and her guides said was best for her. Also she has goals and plans and I can't interfere with them. I wanted to try to figure out ways to help her. That's part of what I want to do. Do those plans with her. Cause that's part of my goals too. When Erik came along he helped me with that. That's some of the work that Erik and others like him do. I just really want people to know that communicating with us is not a black and white thing. There is so much going on. Not only on your end, but our end too. Grief is a process for you, and remembering is a process for us too. Just make sure you don't view these in terms of a timeline. Cause it's different for everyone. Just don't give up.
Erik says:
You guys need to stop worrying about if your a freak show or not. You need to just feel! You need to get it out. If you need to work it out. You need to lean on each other for support. You need to be there for each other and hold each other as family as a community. This is what matters. Working out your experiences as emotional and spiritual lessons. If you need to cry, go for it. If you need to yell and swear, do it. Just let it out, but do not hold on to it. Do not obsess about it and punish yourself. Cause if you do that you are not helping yourself and others. These experience are painful. They will not go away because they are a part of you now. They are part of your experiences of this life. But they don't have to hold you hostage. You might feel that your weaker, stupid, broken from them. But here's the thing. Now what? Where do you go from here? Are you gonna give up? If you do you can, but how's that fair to those still living and yourself. If you wanna give up no one is going to stop you. But yourself. If you keep trying and try to keep living you might eventually find new things about about life. You might find more to love. You may not think so, but then you wont know unless you keep trying. So keep telling each other your stories. Keep giving each other love. Cause when you do your light shines brighter than the sun, and it's rays will heal and help others on their path too. Luv Erik
"You are like the farm girl who draws water from a mountain well, one small bucket at a time; Who then pours the water into a trough that runs down the mountain to water a thousand paddies of rice. As one you can only hope to water one plot- today! But if others in your village see you at the well they will know it's time to water the fields. Now the whole crop will be watered. The whole crop will now be likely harvested. So it is with drawing spiritual awareness for personal growth." -- Elizabeth, my Reiki Guide
A post based on 'the message of healing' from a spirit mentor of mine, Charlie.
Modalities, techniques, and methods of participating in healing energy are all tools with which to channel either your personal energy or universal source energy for spiritual, physical, and emotional healing. Tools for the mind. To access these imagine as clear as you might whom you wish to send energy to. Then while holding that image, imagine love as best as you can. Imagine love as a force of nature. Form does not matter. Imagine gathering it into your heart. Try to hold it there while picturing who you wish it to go to. Imagine if you will, that love growing and growing and growing. Then imagine yourself opening up to all the love in the universe. It's a bit abstract, but try to think about what it feels like when others love You! Imagine their love as a force coming to you and entering your body. Entering your heart. This is universal love and energy coming to you. It is limitless. Gather it there with your love. Imagine it gathering into a warm fuzzy ball. Now don't forget to picture the person needing healing. Now try to overlap the two images. The ball of love and the person. Let them merge. Tell the person. 'I send you this energy so you may heal for the greater good. I love you.' There. Your done. You've just sent healing energy using another tool. Your mind.
"There are so many in the world who would benefit from receiving love and light. You can make a difference even if it is to simply take time in your day to turn your thoughts to others."--Charlie
"Again. Sit quietly. Open your mind to love. Make it boundless without limits. As you breath in feel your chest expand and feel the love growing continue breathing deeply and with every breath feel the love grow and grow and be aware that is the universal source of love, and hold in your mind the concept that you would like this feeling to be shared with another individual, place, or group, and then you will be channeling like a river between this source and them. A light channel in the darkness. There are no limits. Every particle of light helps be it a candle, a torch or a light house. All is helpful."--Charlie

Any strong thought of love brings instant reaction in our realities. Have faith that this is so. Fear not it's origin. The universe would be dead if this was not a natural law. -- Spirit
Question:
How do we help those who are frightened in the world today?
-"Close your eyes. Make a fist. And tense your chest. Squeeze your heart and now-- Seek the song of heaven within the heart-fire of your all-soul. Say to yourself, 'I am strong in will. I am strong in love. I am strong in rightness.' I am a part of all that is good in this world. I am full of it's strength. I have have the power. The power to change. The power to help. We will succeed!" Pulse this idea with all your being over and over again. Bring up this desire to the surface of your awareness and hold on to it with all your might.
This will help you inspire yourself to approach others. Then you can help others with the courage to change. This is among the greatest works you will ever take part of. It is hard work. It requires much vigilance. For this is as much about evolving you as creating that which is around you. You are creating yourself!
You instinctively know how to live in peace with all creation. But you battle that ego unleashed by free will, that is reveling through darkness in blind selfishness. Be brave, be patient, have faith, dig deep, ask for help, give compassion, learn much, seek to understand, and throw selfishness behind you. Live, love, help; do this now and don't look back. Eyes forward live through love.
Do this and your light will shine. Do this and you become a guiding light. Do this and you will have moved into all that which is love. Fear not straying from the path. The very fact that you fear straying is proof that you are seeking the light. Turn your eye back to it and keep going. " --- Spirit
"Do not ask what is wrong with the world. Ask who am I and how can I help. Help yourself help others and you will help drive the changes you seek. Change has never been about divine intervention. Change for the greater good has always been about selfless selfishness. What do you, you --as a manifestation of the Divine, what do you want? How can you change. Change yourself through detailed examination of your reality. Seek to experience and understand everything within this examination and do what you feel is right. We tell you again, Seek love and live love with ever fiber of your being and you will do what is right to help bring the changes you seek. Never fear what you are capable of. You have the power to change the world. Go tell others and live life now."-- Angel of Light
"Children of the earth hear us now. We come to bless, uphold, and love you. Do not fear the ways of the world for we will always guide you to the love within yourself. You who now cry out for the woes of the world are our intruments. Your desires call out to us. We rush to hold you up. We see you do not think you can influence the darkness around you; what say you, about the pain in your heart? Can you do anything with it. Can you channel it into something beutiful? Can you mold it to your will? Do you want to be an instrument for change or do you simply want to quit? Stop thinking your are less than, and imagine everything you desire. Build what you imagine where you feel pulled. If you do not know or are afraid, ask for help. There are beings of light near to you that will rush to help inspire you. It is your world, It is your life, It is your path. So imagine it as best you can. Let loose your dreams. Live life how you feel it should be lived. Even in the greatest sorrow, even in the greatest darkness, from the depths of squallor and pain, love can be found. Sometime that love is a tiny light that you shine. Even light from the smallest cell in the depth of the ocean is a beacon of life. Live life the best you can and keep trying to see light. With light comes new life. Be a light today."--Voices of Light
A message to have no fear
Last night one of my Teachers in Spirit, Meher Baba came to me and with my minds eye I had a vision. I found my higher self dressed in a white robe, and after being startled about this, I looked up and saw him in front of me with hands folded and smiling at me. He thanked me for passing along a message and told me the message remained as valid for me as well. He said it was meant to be a mantra to be used to raise my spiritual vibration. It was a message for all humanity not just me or another individual. That being, "Do not fear. Do not be afraid. Try not to worry so much. You are surrounded by love".
He took me by the arm and walked me to a park bench in the void of my minds eye. As we sat down it resolved into a garden park. And the sky was lit with stars. He said that we are all beings of light and love. Even from the darkest, most painful moments of every existence, there are sparks of light. It is up to us to be beings of light. To fan those sparks into roaring flames of light. There are many fits and starts, and sometimes the fuel is just to wet. But we need to keep trying to find fuel for our fire and burn as brightly as we can. For if we light that fire we can be light in the dark. There is no death. There is only love. He said, Keep going no matter what happens in life. He said, The ascended masters, who have lived innumerable incarnations in multiple universes got there by a determination to experience, understand, live, love, and serve all of creation.
He said our lives were like a geode. He held a gray round course rock in his hand. It seemed ugly, plain, unassuming. He said, this rock is hard, it can be dull, but cause great damage. But if we take the time to study it closely we will notice something delicate and subtle about it. We will see that it's inside is filled with precious gems and crystal. That opened and revealed in the light of day it is luminescent and radiates and reflects light. So you all are like rocks. Compress it enough through life's experiences and you might just end up with a diamond. Once you find the gems of your soul. Make sure you polish them. How they look and reflect light is really about how much effort you want to put into it. Remember to live and love the best you can.
Human lives are similar to Earths great civilizations. Knowingly or unknowingly existing and moving through the ages. All come and fall under the dramas you create for each other. You dance in and through each others songs. Your greatest strength is to adapt, change, grow, learn, and absorb the wounds of your life's history. Use all of it to create greater experiences for yourself. It is a great gift if you let it be so. For you will always remain you, but every seeking a better you. Do not fear getting lost or losing your way. Remember a popular phase in your time, for it is very true. You are not seeking a God or Rules, or direction but you are seeking an understanding that God is in you and is living through you.--Inspired by Spirit
"Do not think of what must be done, but think about what you are doing
now."-- unknown voice of spirit
My Spirit Teacher Meher Baba came and said:
"Do not fear the unknown symbol or message within the dream. They are but tools for the mind. That love which you are already capable is the only tool you need to shine your light in service to the heaven, to me, to mankind. All healing energy is born of the heavens. It is mankind who needs tools to grasp it. So much of the time they wish to call it their own. The healing of heaven belongs to all and is born of all that is God. You, me, your neighbor. You wish to heal. Channel yourself into light and will it to your neighbor. There are many many tools to help you do this. Heaven will not endorse one for you. What you decide is best, will for the moment- be the best. It is the love in your heart that will guide you. Not a doctrine or school. Choose one you can live with, and then give all your love to it. Give your love to it, and you will be doing this for us. You will be loving as we love. You will be on the path to us. This can be bothersome, this decision. But by doing the work necessary you will be empowering yourself to move closer to us. So work with light, work with love, work with thoughts, work with prayer. But work as yourself. Not someone else. Be the love I've taught you. You have this power already. Remember that you can be like us. Remember who you are. Do not fear this journey of discovery. As our love for you never wavers so your love for your fellow mankind should never waver. Be true to yourself and what service you may offer and you will always find what you are looking for. "
Then in Vision:
I see imagery of a cobra with a flared hood riding a cloak of darkness. It drops the cloak over a prostrate woman. The cobra goes up to Master Baba and becomes small and tame and seems to whisper into his ear. He smiles and clasps it in loving embrace and put it at his feet. He then walks to the woman and pulls off the cloak of blackness and hands her the snake and the cloak. And says,
"Tame others fears, for there is no darkness but of that which you create for yourself. Show love and compassion to all and all that which seems fearful will be just another aspect of all creation. Heal where you can, comfort where you can not."
A message from Emily,
Then I saw Emily throwing either little rocks or bread into a pond. And as each piece hit the water it would ripple out. Then it seemed as if all the world could be seen in the ripples.
She said,
"Yes, all the world is in the ripples. The ripples are the ones you make. What you see in the ripples is from the size of the rocks you throw into the pond. If you don't like the waves you've made. Throw something else into the pond to cancel them out. Try to see your reflection in the water as it undulates. It ripples and is confusing. One moment you see one thing, the next something else. It can distort, twist, and pretty soon you cant tell where you tossed what into the water.
To end this reflection, try to remember that you do not need to throw anything into your life's pond, but rather, just float on it's surface in calm balance and just be. Do not add what is not needed to your pond. Stop looking around for things to calm your reflection, instead if you be still long enough you will just float through the glassy surface of your pond, carried by with nothing but the gentle breeze of life's wind. "
Q: -- How do I forgive someone who hurt you who does not seem sorry?
A: -- (Inspired by Spirit)
Many Beings, do not possess the emotional experience, tools, and understanding of a larger picture to give them enough perspective to see what effects their actions or lack there of have caused. They just do not yet see how an apology can bring you to experience forgiveness and peace. Many people are so blinded by their own experiences that they will never be in a position to see. It is often a personal lesson in emotional and spiritual liberation to not only forgive them for this short coming, but to forgive yourself for holding on to your emotional reaction. For it is important to not let your emotional response hold you hostage.
Other reasons can be more fear based for you! By not forgiving them is to let them have power over you. So what can only seem like the goal of having compassion for others, it is also about having compassion for oneself. To realize that you are worth growing from all experiences. That to pass through such difficulties one can emerge as something greater than one was upon entering it.
If your angry. You are angry at the hurt they caused or inadvertently caused. And your angry at your feelings. At your reaction, at your reality as a result of this and as a result of your feelings. You've probably spent a great deal of time and effort thinking about these feelings. You may even seem unable to let go. You are loosing your personal power to control your live by choosing to spend time on this. But if you forgive them it can be over. But forgiveness is not forgetting. Do not forget because it needs to be a lesson in the broad human emotional spectrum. It will let you understand a little bit more about human evolution and development. By working to understand this, you will discover you have more tools to deal with future experiences. And the more experiences you master, the more you will be able to control the outcomes in ever more positive ways. Thus moving yourself and others into ever greater states of being.
Forgiveness is all about YOU. Not the other person. Do not forget. If you forgive and forget you risk being taken advantage of again. Forgive and remove yourself from the situation, and actively seek better experiences. IF the other person comes to you seeking forgiveness and help, THEN you might consider helping them with love. For THEN you will have an opportunity to FURTHER ACT upon YOUR forgiveness. Forgiveness is an emotional tool for US to heal, empower and grow. It can lead to opportunities of unconditional love and helping others. It is just as much a teaching tool as anything else. What you do with it, what you intend with it, and what you learn from it, will help define you.
For in the end, the only thing you CAN control is your reaction. How you apply it to the world around you is a choice. The whole concept of forgiveness means "to give" regarding a reason. That reason should always be about developing yourself. Decide how you would have liked the experience to have gone better. When you think about what or how that might be, you will be focusing your original creative thought upon it with all your focus. This will automatically start to generate newer experiences that will let you grow in positive ways. This effort will come back to you in more and more positive ways.
So next time when you are debating whether or not to forgive someone. Imagine without expectation what you wish to happen the next time you encounter this type of experience, rather than what you don't want. Then you will find what you experience is more inline with what you DO want rather than what you don't want. If you focus on you instead of how the other or someone hurt you; YOU will grow ever more into what and who you truly are.
Q: What is awakening to awareness like?
It is as if all your life you are walking through a rock filled mountain gorge. Twists and turns, you see light overhead. The filtered light at the bottom of the canyon is unique to that spot you stand. It colors the rock, illuminates, creates shadow. Scenes of dark, scenes of great Beauty, scenes of illusion. But before long, you come along a switchback. The path is narrow and steep and winds back and forth. All your focus is on keeping from falling and ascending to the top. But upon reaching the last bend, you find yourself on top of a great bluff and the entirety of the sun's light is upon you. And you realize that the individual qualities of light that made up your journey is but the one, of the glorious sun. All of it strikes your being, and you gaze out and can see the entirety of your journey far below. Thinking of your past path, you take in the journey with solemn reflection and it flavors your life from then on. So is, all the lives and manifestations of your soul. Each, a rock cut canyon into themselves. Now, at the top of the bluff you can see, and are aware of each of the trails. This gives you an understanding and broad picture of that which is around you.-- Voice of Spirit
Jason said Apr 04, 2011
The circle without circumference is the expanding soul scape of your personality that never dies. Reaching in and back through the dimensions you expand with each new experience. Building one upon the other growing ever BRIGHTER and MORE than YOU were before. EACH gathered understanding solidify's and expands the being that you EVER are. Fear not loss. Fear not annihilation. Fear not the change of new beginnings. For nothing is lost in deaths void. Nothing is lost in new life. Lost is but the temporary illusion of the moment. Nothing is lost- Everything is found. -- Angels of light
Behind the cloak of reality is the heaven of your soul
Never forget that the glories of heaven are here in you now. Do not let the cloak of your reality blind you to the wonders of creation. No matter how chained to life you seem to be, never forget that the wonders of glory are but a change of consciousness. Do not fight life so hard, but open your heart to the light all about you. The wonder, the beauty, the possibility for self creation is in all of you. This is eternal and never dies! Heaven is not some distant place, but it is a realm of no limits within your very soul! -- Voices of light
Create the good life around you. Make friends, make family, love, and hold. There is so so many things that can distract you. So many hardships, so much pain. But if you surrender to life and just turn your head, but slightly, and say to yourself. Where can I make a new connection next. Just a glimmer of hope will take seed in you. Quick, grab it hard and fast and use your clutched hope. Use it to force a turn to a new love, task, friend, duty, goal, compassionate action. Try this enough and you will find yourself more in the light than in the shadow.-- Voice of Spirit
Navigating the path
"One of the things we in life strive to achieve on our path to the enlightened self is the movement to that which is our highest self in so that we may offer what service we may to our fellow beings.
In the pursuit of that path we often run into limitations of self expression caused by the suffering of the ego. In part, this is necessary to navigate the trials of the 3D world that we wish to learn from.
This process inevitably involves a kind of sorrow that can be avoided. It can also give rise to anxiety. The reason is due to emotional desire and attachment. This is neither good nor bad, but something to work through for self improvement. A contrast to explore.
When we try to attain anything we perceive we lack or do not have, we often attach false desire to it. Then we fear to loose it, even should we acquire it or not. This clouds our judgment for then we become unable to see a broader perspective of all the facets of the experience.
This could be riches, power, position of status, fame, or obsessions of all kinds. This can be a big problem for us as individuals to overcome. Not only ourselves, but we need to take into account others views and reactions to our behaviors. Envy, depression, jealousy, and ill feelings are often a shared experience stemming from an act of self creation.
These emotional sufferings are much more common than one would think. Think about unrequited love! How many tales in your society and culture center around such situations? If such suffering is so common, and does appear to be part of the human condition, what might it's purpose be?
Such emotional experiences are a part of the human experience and can also be great sources of happiness. But when we step back and seek truth behind the truth of any emotional struggle we will find the strength to accept and turn from unsatisfied suffering.
What can any of us expect from such base and basic experiences common to all humankind? But know that you can be more than you are now. If this were not true how could ever hope to help your fellow Spirits with a offered hand?
Seek that which in you is MORE. Look at all the little turbulence's in your life and know they represent your emotions and they all play off each other. From All of these little chaos's stem suffering. If you look for self acceptance, love that which you are, let go of what you can not change, strive to change what you can, and live each moment in ever greater serenity of the now, you too can find release peace and ever greater manifestations of love."

(grin) Even during rest, time off and relaxation, Spirit calls. As my Teacher has been telling me lately. "There is always work to be done in the light through love. There is always hope to carry".
Here is today's message. 04-08-2011
"Fear not the darkness. Fear not the unknown, Turn from doubt. To master your life is a process. One must not not think that progression is about mastering all of the possible experiences of all existences.
But, one must master all possible aspects of oneself. You do this through experience or you do this through awakening to understanding of ones self through self mastery. Mastership means balance of emotion within the varying observation points of the experience.
Mastership of passion, desire, intent, all of the higher and lower emotions, intellect, compassion, understanding; Understanding the flexibility and fluidity of changing your observation point within your life experience as you choose. You can view life from within the narrow moment of the now, or you can step back into and up through your self and view from afar at all the permutations that the experience manifests through your personality and will.
Then you try to understand the big picture as it relates to what your higher self wishes to understand. So you see, progression is not about living through every possible experience that is created from the source will, but it is about moving through the mastery of oneself.
But do not be deceived into false categorization of this process. IN your present incarnation you simply do not have the facilities to comprehend or view what this entails.
We tell you that this is the journey of the ten thousand lifetime. But this too is but a turn of the phrase to get you to understand that you are so much more than you can understand.
Do not fear this. You move through light, you move to light, and you will move again into the light. Understand you are light. Do not get sidetracked on doubt, worry, frustration, and anxiety.
Work on the aspects of yourself you know to be good, pure, and whole. Work to understand and master those you need help in, and let go of those which you can not change.
It all is a part of who you are and your journey. Do not fight it. Do not burn that which you can not. Simply hold on to which you view with desired duty, goal, purpose, and the will of love.
You know in your heart what it means to progress and what it means to look for self improvement through love. Even should the dark linger, Continue to turn your eyes forward into the light. Responsibility for moving into love starts with you. No one, no spirit can do it for you. It must be a conscious decision that you wish to start. Start today, start now, start and lead through love.
Love and light,
Voices of Spirit, Voices of Angels, Voices of Heaven to all children of the light. Peace"
Hi. I see the blog posts have really taken off. Go on a trip and come back left behind. :) (lol)
Here is what I got this past weekend as per Elisa's question. Yes, Iola and Elisa are correct. Some of these topics do get vague and fuzzy because Spirit does want us to think for ourselves and not be some blind follower of some dogma or movement. We are self creating entities in our own right and our ultimate destiny and reality is truly up to us. Scare mongering and doom and gloom scenarios in the end do not matter as much as one might think because the mechanics of soul progression never ends, and what was important for the soul yesterday is still important today, and will be tomorrow. There is always hope, there is always love to explore, It's up to us on a day to day basis to manifest it in our lives.
Ok, now here is what I got from the "gang" (grin).
"Like attracts like. As humans have negative agendas and group together, some of those in Spirit are also negative and group together. This includes human spirit; those in other physical dimensions; and on other 3D planets as well. Human organizational capability is not unique. Nor do incarnate humans have a monopoly on selfishness, fear, control, or any aspect of lower emotion. In fact everything in the physical realities and dimensions are but a mirror of Spirit. Reality is not a 3 layered cake with us in the middle. It would be a huge mistake to imagine groupings of personality residing in a set location. The vibrational interconnections between dimensions are not regulated to just what we can see or perceive. What is more important to think about, is within each vibrational state of being; How is like attracted to like, and within that concept, how "aware" are the individual beings? "How aware" are they of other beings and their surroundings. Depending on this, they can move anywhere within their vibration as well as any of the denser vibrations. It is only vibrations that are higher or faster than theirs that they are barred from. So much of human language on spirit is watered down parables of simplicity. The aspects of the soul self-creative powers are far greater than you know or realize. Some use that for good. Some for self and, some are just twisted. Everything you are now, everything you have been and everything you will be is connected and participates in cause and effect. Some of this bleeds over into each other. So good or bad is also not limited to your current awareness. You are a multidimensional being, and so are others. You can either live in fear of what if's and unknown manifestations of other, or you can focus on how you live today."
Hold this thought: Is this that I am going to do likely to make me better equipped to serve my world, or be a better channel to spread love and happiness?
Do you believe in the wisdom of the heavens? Do you believe in higher purposes that you can not see? Then do not lament an early departure from earth as there are ever greater purposes to achieve for you to achieve. So then believe this, those purposes are truly up to you. Do not fear the promise within yourself. For you can do great things too. ---Spirit
"That you know you have a body, is taken for granted. What many do not realize is that you are so much more. Many do not care, nor are they interested in accepting their true natures. For some, this is fine and well. To them, the narrow unthinking focus upon the life around them is such that the intensity of being, or situation is warranted for a specific purpose. To the rest, you can facilitate a change of perspective. You can show them that they are not this fleshy body. You do this through the way you lead your life and how you profess your understanding of it. You always cause reflections of yourself in your environment. Whether this happens consciously or unconsciously is up to you.
Do not become overwhelmed with your lack of understanding. You will learn. Do not worry about what to do next. Ask and you will be guided. Do not fear. Seek and you will find yourself again. You always are in the process of returning to yourself through love. That you have a glimmer of awareness is enough to start.
There are ever greater experiences to have both in your current life and in Spirit.
Do not think of your body as who you are. Do not think of your soul as a body living on some plane of existence. Think of the essence of all that you are. You are a conscious energy existing in and through multiple dimensions at the same time. This energy is not a state of being, but your awareness of your relation to this energy IS. It is better to describe yourself as emotional energetic thought. This then reaches out through dimensional existences according to manifested experiences of love or fear. Which then feeds back in upon itself. You are a great cloud of cycling information that works like a great engine of data creating for itself a faster and greater processor. This gives rise to greater levels of not only self awareness but awareness of the interconnectedness of all energy manifestations. The more conscious you become to your true nature and all it encompasses, the more options you have for self expression. The more experiences you have available to you. The more you can learn, understand, grow. The more you can create. This is part of the divine process of creation. You move to creation of ever greater expanding realities to experience. There are no limits except for that which you place upon yourself.
The higher you become vibrationally, the lighter the elements that make up your Spiritual body become. The space between your subatomic makeup become greater and greater. This is because new vast distances that make up your existence are filled with ever Greater proportions of the God-force or universal Life-force. The highest levels of being burn with so much light that physicality is no longer needed." --Voices of Spirit
Q & A's --The Spiritual nature of grief?
Q-
Is it even possible or even right to have control or no control over grief. Does it matter? Is there a correlation between grief and vibrational energy, and is this right or wrong. Is there a correlation between being a better evolved soul and sadness or grief.
A-
"To understand grief is to break apart the word, and it's associated cause and effect as applied by the experiencer. Control is a poor descriptor as it is a tool of individual perception. Grief also can be a tool. So right or wrong the degree and style of grief is simply a tool to express the self based upon one's need or desire. Grief like many emotional expressions can be very healthy or very bad for one's well being. What do you do with it. The key is in fully exploring the root cause to which grief is applied. On one hand grief is an application of expressing sadness to certain degrees. This is a combined Spiritual, Emotional, and Physical manifestation. Actions such as tears to wracking sobs are natural, wholesome and cleansing and should not be feared. For within such basic reactions is the healing of the soul. This outpouring can be an expression of love.
On the other hand Grief can be harmful. For it can also be a tool for the lower ego to express selfish loss. But this is also not a black or white situation. As there are many considerations to examine as grief pertains to loss. There are a wide range of degrees that can be expressed through loss. So first examine the cause of sadness. If the sadness is based on love, and selflessness, then grief can lead to even greater love and healing into light and happiness. For example; the difference between missing a great love v/s resenting their loss. If the sadness is based on selfish perceptions of loss and individualized internal hurt; Then grief can lead to a self fulfilling prison of further pain and agony. Thoughts such as, I blame you for leaving me. How could you do this? I am nothing without you. I can't go on living alone.
This in itself is a Spiritual tool to narrowly focus the emotion. The Spiritual intent is to direct internal healing to the deep examination of the self perception. Once that is healed or changed, then the original sadness can be addressed. It is never an easy experience, But it can be a liberating one. Once you have overcome the self healing, you can move to thoughts such as; I miss you. I remember the love of your soul. You have been and always will be my love. The memory of you makes me smile. The thought of you brings tears of past joy to my eyes. I will see you soon. This type of sadness and longing is a better place to express grief from. Tears within these feelings can bring joyous release and can easily be shared with others. They can be great teaching tools for understanding the spiritual journey.
So you see, grief can be expressions in the light or in the dark. There is not true good or bad regarding grief. But it is yet another process of self realization. A journey, a degree of reaction within the spectrum of love and fear to understand one's experience on the path of self creation.
Now the manifestations of grief are expressed differently depending on vibrational state of being. But this is not a level or degree. All emotions are available to Spirit. The difference lays in the degree of Knowing and Understanding of experienced Realities. In Spirit, Grief is manifested to a greater or lesser extent based upon ones understanding of one's self. The lower evolved Spirit will have much of the other lower ego based emotions mixed in with Grief, Such as hate, fear, lust, desire, anger. And it can be sharp, intense and harmful. The more evolved being will express grief as a brief burst of pure love mixed with compassion, forgiveness, gratitude, and a longing for reunification of companionship.
Do not fear your standing on these matters. That you question and wonder is an expression of your right evolvement." ---Voices of Spirit.
Q & A's --The soul, The attainment of it's goals?
Q-
To what degree, or goal should we attain to evolve our soul?
A-
"Evolution is but the vantage of perspective through experience. There is no end to degree, no limit, no end to your perception of progress in regard to your soul. How can you define or place a limit or label on the Creative Divine source of all that is? How can you ever hope to understand all that is encompassed in, under, and through the Light of All? Do you want to? If you do, what limits do you set for yourself? When do you stop? Where do you start? How fast do you wish to go? What do you wish to experience? Try not to get frustrated. Time is a self created tool for self expression and experiencing all that IS. It is perverbally on your side one way or another. You can achieve mastery of any given experience and incorporate that into who you are, who you wish to be, and what you have been." --Voices of Spirit
Erik says,
"Yup, I do sometimes say things to push buttons.. Get it mom? the big red one! Here's the deal, OK. there is no ONE reason for things like obesity. But there is one cure. But it's not like you think. The cure is in how yal deal. Yup. It's not about curing the symptom. It's about curing the cause. And there aint no one cause. And their anint no one single symptom. It's a nasty green stew. A toxic brew for you to sort out the ingredients. And once you figure out all the ingredients you know how to to make trouble, and make life taste better. And when you can get life to taste better, that means your on your way to mastering it! So Spiritual basis for disease can have many sources, even more than one at a time. Sometimes it's pure emotional conflict, sometimes it's about Spiritual connections; Like a rip in an aura, or a battle of lower ego vs higher-self. Sometimes it's about the battle of living for others vs living for yourself. Or living too much for others and not for yourself. But what it's always gonna eventually led to is finding a balance to live in harmony. It's like surfing the coming storm. You go out and you find that right moment, the right balance of turbulence to ride the wave. And you ride it until you collapse in calm waters, and then you go find another wave to try."
J to Erik,
So E.... Is what you told me once upon a time, or should I say, what I precieved you telling me true... Is it true that our loved ones in Spirit wait for us? That they will come for us when it's our time to leave this life?
Erik to J.
"Yes, of course it is. I didn't lie to you. We love ya man, We're not gonna abandon anyone. We'll all be there. On ya like glue-right here man. Don't ever doubt it. Same goes for all ya out there. Me, everyone else here will be there for you."
J. to Erik
OK. I believe you. It's just that such things amaze and fill me with awe. I mean. A good chunk of my life I had fairly low self esteem. You know, back in the day, I just couldn't imagine that anyone would want to be my friend or love me. I know that's totally lame, and stupid. But I still struggled with it. You know. . So when I first heard that from you. I just got this sense of fearful hope.
Erik to J.
"I know, but you see.. It's like I told you before. It's not just me... Everyone has many many many people who deeply love and care for them on this side. No one is alone. No one. Ever. Remember, The Spirit world is the real world. Not what you see around you now. That's just a car on a road trip. Your trapped in a car. Some peoples windows got crap and dirt all over them and they can't see out. They don't know where your going. But those of us on this side have your GPS controls. We can see you just fine. We know your on a drive, we know your on an adventure. We know where you'd like to end up, we know how long your trip is. And we'll all be standing around at the finish line waving our flags for you. No, that doesn't mean you all are gonna have a huge party, but if you want to you can. But don't worry-ever. If you only knew how many people love you. One does not have a bunch of lives and not get someone to love. Of course you are loved. But you gotta keep your foot on the gas and dive on the road. I know you're having a hellofa time seeing your way. Turn on your lights, roll down your window and look out. Stop thinking that light down the tunnel is a train. It's us shining the light so you know where to go! Lub ya you big dork!... Dooooorrrrrk (grin)"
To those who fear the darkness after death
"To those who fear, the darkness after death. To those who hold with fearful hope of poorly understood existence. There is not only hope, there is always evolvement. Let your your hope transform into action for the greater good. For by living by example you are a witness to those in life around you, but also to those in the realms of Spirit. Your light shines out.
The journey to the realms of Spirit does not facilitate an instant increase in soulful evolution. There is always the desire to refine and redefine perception. The return to God does not mean a loss of self or past life. It means ever greater understanding of ones place within the whole. You are ever more, not less.
Even looking back on those still in flesh, one can learn about the fallacies of human fastidiousness. Each new viewpoint can alter attitudes which then open new perspectives, attitudes and states of knowing; then allowing for new experiences and expressions of self.
The momentary reflection of what such concepts of self- mean, can be causes of suffering and pain. But it too, is but illusion created by the body of the residing plane of existence. This narrow focus is temporary and desired. For only by such close attention and focus can understanding of the structures of the self created reality be known.
This will bring sparks of desire within the self created reality. This spark will trigger new awareness. This in turn calls out to the light and those who serve in love. This and their new attention brings dawn for those lost in darkness. Your prayers, thoughts, love, and attention can help flame spark into light of renewed opportunities.
So turn away hard hearts of pain. Forgive, and ponder unconditional surrender of the greater good. For within each such thought sits a reflection of the love of God. Know that there is always hope. Both now and in Spirit."

The Spirit of reconciliation.
Is the movement of love
flowing from bitter earth
through dug trenches of
forgiveness and understanding.
Long or short it's depth is
dug from the sincerity of the will.
Awash in intention, how far it spreads
and how long it waters,
depends on purity of purpose.

Duality of selfishness in emotion: A tool
If you are having trouble with emotion, with the expression of emotion, in any situation for any reason; You-are-normal. You are not broken. You are not a freak. You are not going to die. What you are, is a state of being. It is quite simply where you are. And this is OK. It is OK to BE.
But know, In this state of being, this is not WHO you are. And none of this HAS-To-be where you end up. The key is surrendering, and acceptance of what you feel without qualifiers. And then putting active intent into exploring where you would like to go; what you would like to do next.
Remember, that just because you go elsewhere, doesn't mean that you loose something. What you retain or gain, depends on how much work you wish to put into understanding where you were.
Too often humankind puts labels on experiences without looking at all the nuances of the emotional nature of reality. Many choose to sit, suffer in silence without the desire to self explore. This seems a cold way of saying they are a like the child who fell on a wet lump of a log and then refuses to get up and look at the rest of the forest.
The trouble with exploring emotions is that they (the emotions) are Selfish by their vary natures. But this is neither good nor bad; though, it feels like it. What is selfish is NOT feeling the troubling emotion, rather what is selfish-- is not looking at the emotion. It's your emotion. Do what you want with it. But by not exploring it, your lower self is being selfish to or in contrast to your higher self. You are choosing the easy way out. Or just sitting and looking at the lump of a wet log instead of picking yourself up and exploring the forest.
This is caused by all sorts of things, but predominately fear. People stuff emotional expression deep down inside them so that no one can hurt them again. Or, they think that by bottling it up and treasuring it they will be better off. They see themselves as being weak, less than, a bad example. This is a type of misguided selfishness.
For when you do not give into a different type of selfishness, the Selfishness of "I am more than," "I deserve more than I allow myself"; you selfishly withhold all that you are capable of and what you might have to offer to others. Be it support, service, or teaching moments.
By allowing yourself the simple selfishness of simple self expression, you are not only doing right by yourself, you are doing right by the greater good. For by allowing yourself this emotion, you are being in the now. This tames and prevents bottled up explosions and leads to a more balanced life. Which then allows you more capacity to look up from the wet log and look further into the forest for the next path. Perhaps the path home!
This is the duality of positive and negative selfishness. Allowing ourselves to be OK with it, is about the unconditional acceptance of who we are. Judge not applies not only to others, but ourselves. If we actively embrace that we are all at a different mark on our journeys we will see there is no right one place but that mile marker we set for ourselves.
One of the best things we can do in helping others explore this duality is not to be sorry, but simply reach out and say, "I love you, I hear you, I am here". Smile-hug-let go.
