For many of us the busy time of the holidays are over. The annual holy-days of Thanksgiving, Christmas and the birth of a New Year are passed. For most these times will create new memories of love, family and sacred moments.
Because this is such a powerful time of year, others will feel the pang of pain due to loved ones who are no longer present and losses of various kinds. The keen remembrance of loss reminds us that there is only one constant in all creation, and that is our loving Creator; the Father and Mother of all that exists.
The recurring healing message is that by attunement with heavenly Father and Divine Mother all wounds, hurts and losses may be soothed with the salve of growing peace, joy and love.
This re-union of soul and Spirit, after so long living in the Great Divorce from God is the theme for this lifetime. All great myths, stories, and scriptures expressed throughout the world and down through all time comes to one central point: to find the resolution of suffering; it is the real work you are here to do.
The key to gaining spiritual freedom, that is the removal of suffering, is the ability to learn from your experience. This ability to learn from experience is basic to all growth. So many people repeat the same errors and expect different results: this is insanity. The soul who wishes to really grow must be a keen observer of cause and effect, for this is the universal law of creation.
As we eye this new year, let us not simply list those things we wish to change, as we have listed in previous years. Create a solid plan with behavioral benchmarks. Be determined to apply the spiritual principles you have been taught and become master of yourself. Do not allow another year to go by treading water only, when you are meant to soar in the skies!
Let your eagle heart rise to the heavens and know yourself to be a spiritual dynamo who can remove mountains of suffering for yourself and for others. You are made in the image and likeness of the Infinite Being; this is the Truth!
How can you remain in a shadow existence when that is not who you are? Realize there is so much more to you. Demand your birthright, proclaim your freedom and manifest all that you are in truth. This is the task for which you have come and it waits for you to step into the Divine Image and Likeness of who and what you truly are.
