The Cosmic Force - Angel Michael Oracles - #3

What do we need to DO to start "changing" things around here? What is "our world?" How do we fit into the whole, the ONE, the consciousness that says, ALL are equally important?

Why do we keep running around in circles getting frustrated and discouraged? We start back at hope, just to find ourselves kneeling at the feet of despair once again.

Can these questions by answered in A.B.C. order?

When people try, it seems to end up being a cultish style group that is formed. No one, including Spirit, God, Goddess, whoever we want to address, seems to want to lay it all out on a clear map. There are no marked destinations and specific points plotted along the way that we must reach at specific times. Could that be because we are constantly changing and evolving and creating our own journey as we go? We seek guidance, but not too much. It isn't pleasurable or healthful to be dictated to. I know, I've been in this kind of situation. You get into a habit of needing, or thinking you need to be told what to do, but it is just a habit. It isn't a lifestyle that your spirit was born to embrace.

All deserve to be loved and have the opportunity to love in return. It seems to be up to us to love ourselves first, making us oh so much more lovable to others. The only way I seem to be able to love myself though, is by sensing that there are many in the unseen that care about me. If I were to need to love myself strictly because I exist, hmmmmm, that would seem lonely. I am a romantic. Perhaps a fool, but then I attract other romantic-types, those who long for more than the sky to just be the sky, or grass to just be grass.

The sky must be a luminous sapphire sprinkled with diamond dust. The grass must be a carpet of emerald beauty that cushions the steps of the magical ones, the proud owners of those rosy spectacles - or can it be that we see things as they truly are, refusing to accept crude "reality?" We live between worlds, creating possibilities. We have no use for maps.

I believe we choose our own truth and in doing so, make it true. If we tell ourselves over and over, "It will not work." That will be our truth. It will not work.

If we tell ourselves time and time again, "Whatever happens, everything will work out well," that becomes our truth. If we listen to others who are convinced that we are not worthy of success, then we have fallen off of the path completely. We get lost in the dark foreboding woods of self-doubt and indecisiveness.

So how is it that pure belief power - no matter what the odds, ("never tell me the odds," as Han Solo would say) can bring us to just the right place, where just the tools we need suddenly appear? Just the people we call to in our dreams, finally show up! Who is making this magic?

All spirit is here to help you, because you are spirit yourself. You are part of me. I am part of you. The song lyrics were not accidental. How we relate to each other from spirit to spirit is just as it has always been. Some are more aware of the information exchange. Some walk through life getting "ideas" that they give themselves credit for, and in a way, this is right. We, spirits in other realms, simply keep reminding you of what you already know at a deeper level.

It is not about "gaining knowledge" but rather freeing your memory. All you need to know is stored in lifetimes of memory. In physical life, we protect ourselves from memories of multiple lifetimes of experiences, because we would not be able to function and process if we were constantly aware of these. Live the life you've got. Song lyrics are often ironically profound in their simplicity. If you cannot understand something, to you it is as meaningless as a babies gibberish, no matter how profound it may be to a scholar.

Knowledge must be processed in a way that is meaningful, useful to you - or it is not helpful.

Why you may be sensitive to certain things in this life is often because you have had traumatic experiences in other lifetimes regarding the sensitive subject. "Remembering this" on some level can help. You are not "irrationally upset," you have very good reason for feeling as you do. Yet there is a necessity to learn from past experiences in order to release the pain and move forward. Depression is often a memory trapped in a spiritual past-life-level of your sub-conscious mind. When you feel helpless, it is understandable. When you try to numb it away, the hurt is still there and you just build more layers of spiritual scars. Face what it is that is really bothering you. Do everything you can to change the situation - but not necessarily by fighting the problem. Focus on what you absolutely LOVE. Love focus shuts out the problem, gives it no pity or worry "problem oxygen." The problem cannot survive without its air. It has to dissipate or disappear without focus.

So what do you love?

How can you infuse your life with what you LOVE? It is not necessarily what anyone else in the world thinks you need to be doing, but what YOU have always wanted to do - what you instinctively know you are great at - or can study to be great at because you have a natural ability that just needs polishing. It might be something very small, or it may be something very big. It doesn't matter. What matters is that you are doing what you love.

In this world so many are doing what they hate. That will never build a happy world. Even those who make sacrifices and work very, very hard, when doing what they internally willed to be their purpose in this life will be energized with passion for their work.

You can always do SOMETHING to bring your passion into your life, even a small thing can lead to a feeling of joy and freedom, because you are following your dream. Are you in retail, but you truly long to be in the health care field? Are you a truck driver, but you really want to run a restaurant? Gratitude for the things you DO like brings more of what you do like, so if you hate everything about your job, you can still be grateful that it is possible for you to make different choices.

Many are locked into the rhythm of life, and they feel completely trapped. They have responsibilities, bills, pressure from many sides. You can still make small changes that will bring great rewards. And always be - or learn to be - grateful for something. Maybe it's just that you are still breathing, maybe it's something as simple as being able to hug your child every day. Maybe it is just gratitude for a hot shower every day. The warmth is a comfort worthy of gratitude. There is always something to be grateful for. Gratitude is a building block on which you can keep adding more and more things to be grateful for.

And it is most important that the things you are most grateful for are not "things" at all; things can disappear from your life. People can disappear too sometimes. Love does not disappear.

Remember. Remember how many times you've been here before - not each lifetime, but just your eternal nature. Embrace this concept. If things aren't exactly as you would like them, and they do usually seem that way in a world psychologically geared to "it's never enough" and "nothing is good enough" - realize you are learning wonderful lessons from whatever your circumstances are now.

And NOW you are eternally loved. NOW you are an immortal being living one phase of your growth and education. JOY is the lesson. Love is the lesson. There are always places to find joy, no matter how low things seem to be. You can emerge victorious. You have many times before.

It is not just a matter of "you can do this," but rather, "you have done this." You are doing this in a little different set of circumstances now. You have always loved a challenge - when in your clear mind. Get help if you are continually numbing out to avoid the uncomfortable circumstances that your life seems to have become.

And remember, you can change the circumstances. You are spirit choosing to live in your present physical existence. All around you are guideposts and friends to help - seen or unseen. We are here. Learn all you can. Live your life to the fullest. Love more, laugh more, dance more - especially when no one is watching - just dance! And dance to your own music, no matter what anyone else says or does to try to stop you.

I hope you love. I hope you laugh. I hope you DANCE like you are teaching everyone in the world what it means to dance for JOY!

P.S. I must return to the "baby's gibberish" idea, because within these happy sounds, is the meaning of life, the meaning of the Universe, the purpose of everything that was, is, or ever will be: JOY. And about life's deepest mysteries, babies know so much MORE than you do - until you teach them to forget it.

Be well. Learn from babies. I love you infinitely! More and more!
