God speaks to each of you in a manner that only you can fully comprehend. Every individual has a collection of guides and a chief spirit that is entrusted with the gift of giving, of enriching, of providing meaning and understanding to your lives. Your guides are always present, are always guiding, whether or not you request that assistance. But when you do request it, you become more aware of that guidance.
It is the same as understanding the presence of God’s love. It is not just the presence of a loving God, but God’s love. You ask God for comfort, for direction, for healing, for any number of things, but it is always important for you to acknowledge that God provides all of this for you, even when you do not request it. But by requesting it, you open your spiritual eyes to encounter God’s guidance for which you pray.
Your guides are, as we have said so often, like lenses that focus God’s love upon your soul and upon your human lives. These lenses, these guides, are part of a much wider array of spiritual entities that exist in the form of spirit only. Sometimes you are aware of these presences, these spiritual entities, through voices, through visions, through a sense of warmth, or a kinetic response, through your thoughts, through hunches to do this or to do that. What is important is that every human being has within the capability of sensing something of our side.
In your discussions, you wonder about the presence of negative spirits or negative energy. It is true that some souls that join us find it difficult to comprehend what it means to be surrounded by the light that comes from nonjudgmental love. These spirits find it easier to maintain a connection with their past lives than to develop into what can be for their future lives, lives within the realm of pure spirit. As a consequence, human beings have the potential for becoming aware of spirits that are loving, and spirits that are yearning for what was the life of the flesh, the life of the body in human form. As human beings, you are sensitive to the presence of all spiritual entities, regardless of the level and depth of their development. It is because of this ability that each of you shares that you are often able to sense the negative spirit as well as the positive spirit.
When you gather in this group or when you seek to be open to your guides who are the lenses of God, you must always open yourselves through prayer. When you pray for God’s direction, there is no space in the spiritual channel for that which is negative. There is no room for you to experience spiritual entities who remain confused or are overwhelmed by the brilliance of our life as pure spirit.
You wonder about what to tell someone who is fully aware of the negative, troubling spirit, but who seeks what is positive and what is truly reflective of God. That individual must be strong in insisting that she will only be open to the voice of God, and if the voices that are heard speak not from God, then they must be told to depart.
It is for this reason that you pray before all communication with your guides. Without prayer, such sensitivity to the life of spirit that surrounds you enables the life of all spirits to be invited into your awareness. First comes always an acknowledgment of God, and then welcome the openness in that light. When you open yourselves spiritually to our side, it is indeed like switching on a radio. There are many stations, there are many sources of energy, but it is only through your supplication to God that your radio can be connected to what is godly.
Part of your discussion at this time relates to the concept or possibility of spiritual separation from the God Center, whether that is what happens and why. We would like to clarify this for you. First, we begin with a simple but direct statement for you to accept fully. That statement is, “No soul is separated in any way from the God Center.” This statement has many implications, for it means that you are not separated from God because your spirit, your soul is not separated from God. It also means that your soul has not in some manner been pushed from the God Center, the center of love, and therefore left to spoil or to become less that what it was. The nature of each soul is to move forward toward God. At no time in its life has it been separated, has it been cast off.
Your souls begin long before the experience of human life. Your souls are created by God, but they are not yet God. All that has been created is a part of God, but is not yet fully God. When God creates a soul, that soul contains within it the potential, the capacity to become pure love. It is the journey of each created soul to become all that is God, and therefore to become God. As souls are created and evolve to becoming all love, the power of love is expanded.
The heavens draw moisture from the seas. This moisture eventually brings nutrients from the land to the sea by way of rivers and lakes. Eventually the sea is richer because of the nutrients of the land. The sea is provided with minerals, which in turn provide the foundation for greater life. The water which is drawn into the air from the sea is not really separated from the sea. It is a part of the sea which is given a different condition. Instead of being fully visible, it becomes for awhile invisible for it is merely moisture in the air. That invisible form of the sea eventually becomes visible once again as rain, and that visible rain accumulates what is needed by the sea for further growth and renewal.
So it is with your individual soul. Your souls are a part of God, but they do not yet contain all that is a part of God. Moisture in the air does not contain all the nutrients in the sea, but it comes from those nutrients and brings refreshment and renewal once again. Your souls, therefore, are on a journey. It is the journey of the moisture that condenses in the air, falls as rain, nourishes the soil, and carries that nourishment to the sea. All is changed, but all remains essentially the same.
There is no point in differentiating one soul from another. There is no point in differentiating a molecule of moisture in the air from another. In some regions of the world, the air is more moist. In other regions, the air is drier, but even the dry air contains the moisture from the sea. This moisture, when it falls to the ground and nourishes plants, will be released by plants once again into the air to continue the cycle of nourishment before returning to the sea. Nothing is destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
And so it is with your souls. There is no soul that is destroyed. There is no part of God that is destroyed, but God is given renewal. Love is expanded. Love becomes more prominent because of the presence of individual souls and their journey to return to the God Center. It is a great journey and each of you is an important part of that process. It is because of that equality of moisture, the equality of the soul, that it is folly and destructive to emphasize differences, for those differences are absolutely meaningless.
It is indeed the journey of love to expand. Love has no purpose other than to expand, to become more powerful. That is the ultimate destination of love, to become a totality. Your soul’s goal is to become fully God, and it is God that provides for souls to experience human life.
There are souls who are given other life-forms that are beyond your imagination. These life-forms exist elsewhere. They do not exist on bodies in the universe that you are aware of. The growth of love provided by the God Center is achieved through many paths, but your souls learn what must be learned through their shared life with you. When they join us, there are other lessons to be learned, and that journey for all souls is always completed.
You wonder about others. You wonder about so many friends and family who have joined us. They continue to grow, deeply, steadily, and bring great joy to all souls. Their growth is steady, sure, strong and filled with a grace and a peace that is strengthening to all souls. Your family members, friends, acquaintances, those you hold close in your thoughts, are filled with God’s light. The illumination they reflect is brilliant, and their trajectory toward God is smooth and joyous.
You have much to be joyous about. You have much to learn. You have much to give. You have much to share. You have much to experience. And each of you is blessed in your own ways by the presence of your guides and the brilliance of God’s loving light illuminating each step you take. Be joyful and loving in that light!
Amen.
