See Me Now

“If you could see me now …”

We ask you to picture your loved ones on the other side, arms outstretched, and a smile on their face.  Picturing them thus is far less painful than focusing on the past or on their loss.  Doing the latter causes a release of chemicals in the body which results in physical pain in the heart area.  Certain emotions do this.  Thoughts are quite powerful.  That pain in the heart will keep you stuck in thought patterns as the body becomes addicted to this feeling. 

Picture instead the good times and immediately transfer that physical feeling to the knowing that your soul has of your loved one’s ongoing presence in your life.  “If you could see me now …” they say, and now flood that heart space with love.  This is a different kind of feeling than pain.  It comes from the knowing of the soul that you are still as one and always have been so. 
Clear the head of the recurrent thoughts which trigger pain and hold the intention of finding this knowing of the soul that brings peace.

That Which Lasts

It is quite easy to become seduced by human charms.  These come not only in the form of charismatic persons, but in fancy things and gadgets that appeal to the eyes and other senses.   There is nothing right or wrong in this.  Enjoy them while you are human, but do not become so caught up in the seduction that you forget there is another reality.  In that reality all that matters is love.  In truth, the same rule applies in your reality. 

Seductive goodies exist around you now, and so they can actually serve as yet another test.  Appreciate them.  Have fun with them, but ask yourself frequently, “What is real?”  The answer is:  that which lasts … that which never goes away, never breaks, never fades, never dies.  Only Love is real, and You are That.

Teamwork

Body, mind, and spirit … in this reality in which you find yourself, they work together.  Spirit and mind express themselves through the body.  You say, “Listen to your body.  What is it telling you?”  This is good advice, but the body does nothing on its own.  You are far more than the body.  It is directed by the other two team members.  Spirit is at work all the time and all around you, but in this dimension it is often unnoticed without body and mind.  Mind appears to make decisions and choices, but these are for naught if not impelled by spirit and enacted by body. 

All is a team effort, as is everything in your world.  Were it not for your personal team’s interactions with other teams around you, little would be accomplished and growth would be stymied.  Listen to your body.  Use your mind to make the highest choices.  Honor the spirit, and then see these three aspects in all around you.  This view changes things, and change—most especially in the direction of growth toward love—is the name of the game.

Variety

Why do some die young?  The answer, if you truly want to understand it, requires that you understand the purpose of all Life.  Life goes on in multiple dimensions, not just in the experience as human beings on Earth.  All beings in all dimensions are extensions of the One Consciousness extending Itself for the experience … for the growth to be had.  And so, all of life is about increasing one’s capacity to Love, for that is the essence of this Force.

Why do some die young, and some die in middle age, and some die old?  For the variety of learning opportunities that this variety offers.  If all died at exactly one hundred years of age, this lack of variety would impede the growth opportunities.  Does not much soul growth come from the uncertainty of when a soul will depart this physical experience?  Does not much soul growth come from what you perceive as your greatest challenges?
Know that those who die young most definitely do go on.  They go on learning and growing and loving in other realms whilst keeping up with your growth here on earth.  You are still together, for what Love has brought together, no physical absence can keep apart.  You will be with them again in a similar dimension.  At a soul level, you are together now, but for now, whilst you remain in human form, you are simply experiencing different growth opportunities. 
Love.  They brought more of it into this world and it continues on because of them.
