Back to your brilliance

My dear friends, we love you so very much,

Breathe, dear ones. Your world is filled with kind souls who love and accept one another and who celebrate the differences. Your world is filled with countless beings who choose to live in peace, harmony, and love. You won’t see the majority of them on your news, yet you run into them every day in so many ways.

The person who bags your groceries, gives you a smile, and offers to help you to the car is offering you love. The man or woman who walks their dog every morning in your neighborhood loves their furry angel so much they are willing to awaken early and brave any weather. The mother who patiently explains to her crying child that they’ll be home soon chooses love over fatigue and frustration every day. The person who lets you turn in front of them in traffic sees your humanity, knows your desire to get going, and feels good allowing you in.

Everywhere you go, if you look around, you will find the kind, the peaceful, and the loving souls who keep your world turning.

Of course, there are also those who are sadly misaligned with their own spirit. There are bombs dropping from the skies, people dying in pain, and hatred ruining hearts. Still, we maintain that the good far outweighs the bad. The light will shine amidst any darkness. Love will continue to poke through hardened hearts like a flower that grows through a tiny crack in the concrete.

Dear ones, life is lifing and never stops growing. Love is expanding, and when it cannot find one avenue, it will find another. Just as water flows around the boulders it cannot move, and plants grow around the pebbles in the soil, love will find a way to surface in spite of all odds and obstacles.

Love is the creative force in the universe and the nature of the Source itself. It cannot be killed or extinguished. It lives even in hateful, and hurtful—blocked by their own fear and insecurities—but waiting patiently to grow through the cracks in the concrete of even the most hardened hearts.

So take heart. You are watching the dramas of hatred, fear, and ignorance unfold in real time. You are being fed a steady stream of reports on what is most disturbing and upsetting to many of you.The important question is not, “What is true in the news?” but rather, “What is true in my own life?”

Is love the most powerful force in your universe, or have you given someone else your power to be happy? Is your inner guidance your ultimate authority, or are you giving others that authority? Is your heart as important as your mind, or have you given in to the tyranny of an intellect separated from emotion?

Dear ones, there have always been and always will be forces in this universe that want to take your power. Some do it with violence, but far more engage in slowly and subtly tempting you to outsource your power and move away from your relationship with your inner self.

When you were a child, you never doubted your beau… until you watched programs that taught you false standards.

When you arrived on the planet, you trusted your own instincts… until well-meaning others taught you that theirs were more reliable.

You once witnessed nearly everything in your world with a state of awe until you were taught notions of good, bad, and how to worship.

You once found all people fascinating until you were taught to judge and sort people into categories.

You once craved connection until you found it painful or were taught to fear.

It is time to return to your natural state of awe and reverence for life; to your fascination with differences and your true desire for connection.

As you look at a tiny bee pollinating a flower, can you fathom the miraculous universe that attuned this amazing creature so precisely? It follows a light you cannot even see to the flowers that give what it needs to feed the hive and produce a sweet elixir that is both delicious and healing.

This is one tiny creature in a universe of miracles. Look around, dear friends, and reclaim your sense of awe.

Look at yourself and ask for a moment, “What makes me beautiful?” Forget artificial standards. Are the smile lines at the corners of your lips a tell-tale sign of love and laughter? Are the wrinkles in your forehead indicative of someone who ponders carefully? What makes you uniquely beautiful—not according to the world—but according to you?

How do you receive your God-given instincts? Do you feel things, just know them, get premonitions? Do things simply feel good or bad, right or “off”? Keep paying attention to the subtle signals that guide you until you return to trusting what is within you above anything else around you.

And dear ones, reclaim your fascination with differences, for you live in a world of delicious contrast wherein all souls have the same basic desires but express them in so many ways. Learn about a different culture. Try a different food. Appreciate a poem by a foreign poet.

As you work within to reclaim your identity as a loving soul, a global citizen, and an emissary of love, you will find ever-increasing joy in your life even amidst the chaos of your world. You will rob hatred of its hold. You will empower the light.

And you, dear ones, will feel tshe goodness of living in alignment with your true nature—in a dance with others who are as well—walking through life in the world but not of it, enjoying it as a soul aware of its own nature exploring itself in so many forms in this adventure called human life.

God Bless You! We love you so very much.
