I truly hope that we have finally reached the point in our evolution where we are ready to let go of the delusion that we are separate from God. It is time for us to claim our true divine nature and authority as Creators! Heaven is so easy to find!

Heaven is, in fact, …

… HERE!

“Heaven is here. There is nowhere else. Heaven is now. There is no other time.”

–Excerpt from A Course in Miracles

This is it.  Life IS a divine spiritual experience and truly the spirit in us knows there is no place else that we would rather be.

How does this perspective change your life?

You need to know this life is all about you, and it’s all for you. Each of us is in our own world and quite literally, your world revolves around you. “That’s the most selfish thing I’ve ever heard”, you might say.  Well, truth is, you are the center of your own universe.  Everything in your life is just for you (including feeling bad about children living halfway across the globe who are starving).  If you are aware of it, it’s in your life– your world.  This is God experiencing through you.

The Creative Mystic knows “it’s my world and it’s all for me.” From the character-self perspective, the universe is so immense that we can’t possibly grasp it. So focus your awareness on your world, your sphere of influence, the people and experiences that you attract.

Rather than saying something bad happened “to” you, adopt the perspective that it was created “for” you. Everything in your life is designed for you to experience. When you get out of feeling like a victim, you open yourself to the divine plan that’s constantly unfolding by you, for you, as God experiencing through you.

My dear friend and mentor, Dayana Jon, gave me an extraordinary definition of compassion from her higher guidance, AMAG: compassion is the utmost respect and honoring of another’s choice even though it is one that you would never make yourself.

Take a fresh look at your life. Whatever you are going through ask yourself, “What is it I am trying to know the truth of?  What do I now know about ….?” Rather than feeling like a victim, consider how differently you would perceive life knowing it was your divine intention. From the place of a curious creator you can look upon your life as a grand journey of discovering the truth of every experience you are going through.

Imagine a large river. There is the headwaters where it begins and the mouth where the river finally empties into a large body of water. Imagine this large river as your pre-chosen path for your journey in life. As you travel down the river, the flow of the current is bringing you to your eventual destination – the discovery of the truth of your originally intended experience.

But as you travel down the river, there are many stops you would like to make along the way. This is your free will to depart at any time, come ashore and explore the magnificent cities and wonders of nature that catch your eye. It’s part of the fun.

Could you get lost and forget all about the main river? Yes, this is also your free will.  But for the most part you won’t, because–being the very clever Creator that you are–you have already made sure that someone is watching out for you, and if you stay “lost” too long they will intervene on your behalf. Isn’t it nice having your Higher Self, angel committees, and all of the Heavens working just for you?

Our soul longs to give and receive unconditional love. Life has a way, though, of bringing us face to face with our unfinished business and our barriers to love. Throughout our lives we all experience hurt and heartache. We may decide that the world is not a friendly place and we can’t count on others or we decide that it’s not safe to love. Brick by brick we construct a wall around our heart in the effort to protect ourselves.

What we eventually learn, however, is that the walls around our heart create the pain and the separation. We think the conditional love (“I’ll love you but only if you promise not to hurt me”) will protect us but in fact it locks us into more pain. When we open to unconditional love, we access Divine energy with infinite capacity to digest all pain, disappointment, and fear. It’s this unconditional love that offers us the truest protection and freedom. With it, we’re immune to the hurt that caused the walls in the first place.

This is your Soul’s Mission; to fully live life wide open to love. Challenge yourself to begin to dismantle the wall around your heart and have the courage to love.

Ask yourself these four questions:

Can you keep your heart open to love when you feel betrayed?

Can you keep your heart open to love when relationships fail?

Can you keep your heart open to love when you are criticized?

Can you keep your heart open to love when you are disappointed?

This is your Soul’s Mission to stay open to Love that melts resistance and eliminates boundaries. Stay open to Love as you work through difficulties and barriers that separate you from those closest to you.

Love will heal and transform and provide the mystical experience of discovering yourself and finding your Light.

Your Soul carries with it some unique characteristics of God. As you live this earth life, your gifts of your Soul’s characteristics will be revealed to you.

“How?” You might ask…

You will begin to recognize the unique quality of Light energy that is you by what you bring to every situation in your life.  In fact, you cannot help but do that because it is who you are. Your experience is reflected back to God through your unique facets of God’s Light of which you were made.

Think for a moment about what your core essence is – what are the specials gifts that you have and that you are? The words that you come up with will be describing your Soul. Identifying this unique expression of your Soul’s Light energy is one of the most comforting and empowering realizations that you will ever have in your life because it will help you to know what you’re here to do.

What a beautiful morning!

So beautiful that I decided to bring my work to one of my favorite coffee spots–The Flower Farm. I just love bringing my work here for a change of scenery from time to time. It already feels like spring, and I feel so lucky to be here enjoying such good coffee, but more importantly, I feel so grateful to be living my purpose in this very moment.

It seems so apparent to me now that understanding your purpose in life is paramount. If you have an understanding of  what your greater purpose is, life seems almost effortless.

Purpose gives you the capacity to endure anything. If you truly know what you are here to do, every event in life seems to be a stepping stone to a greater, deeper understanding of who you are. Rough times are translated from painful events to meaningful, necessary passageways.  And the best part about it: the sweet joys in life just become even sweeter.

As I’m sitting here at the Flower Farm, I am full of purpose, feeling like I’m on a mission, and I am here to do exactly what I’m doing.

Being Exercise

In this powerful exercise, you will receive the blessing of recognizing your core essence, your “Being”, which are the unique gifts of the Light of your Soul. These are not qualities that you’ve earned or worked hard for; these gifts came with you. You will be discovering the qualities of your unique Light and this is not a time to deny that Light with inappropriate humility. Your Light is nothing short of magnificent and glorious. To deny that is to deny the divine energy within you which will not serve your purpose for being.

To get in touch with your core essence /your being, get comfortable in a seated position and take a few deep, centering breaths. Enjoy the following exercise:

Place both hands on your heart. Call on the members of your High Council for guidance and answers. Ask them to “whisper” the answer to the following question so that you can clearly “hear” it:

“What is the gift of Light that is my being, my core essence?”

Then simply listen for anything that comes to mind. It may be a feeling, a sense, a word, an image, or some other kind of answer. Write down what you receive in your Higher Guidance Journal.

You may want to do this exercise or ask the question many times. Just remember not to force anything. The fact that you’ve initiated the question will open up answers that may come from many different sources. For example, a close friend may volunteer that they have “always loved your sense of beauty and style.” You’ll know that you’ve hit on a core essence or “being” answer when you feel a sense of awe and gratitude for being you. This is not a time for false modesty or humility. In fact it is in honoring and accepting our gifts that we see and express our brilliance.

Doing Exercise

In this powerful exercise, you will receive the blessing of recognizing the gifts of your “Doing”, what it is that you do with the energy of your core essence. Again, these qualities are effortless for you. For example, someone with the gift of organizing doesn’t find that challenging; in fact their very energy coming into the room may automatically bring order to a chaotic situation. These are qualities that most people would use to describe you. Our gifts of “doing” also become our “being” because they are halves of the same whole.

Get comfortable in a seated position and take a few deep, centering breaths.

Place both hands on your head. Call on the members of your High Council for guidance and answers. Ask them to “whisper” the answer to the following question so that you can clearly “hear” it:

“What is the gift of Light that is my doing, my expression?”

Then simply listen for anything that comes to mind. It may be a feeling, a sense, a word an image or some other kind of answer. Write down what you receive in your Higher Guidance Journal.

Remember not to feel any pressure to have an answer, just allow and receive. You may want to do this exercise periodically or several times (you don’t have to get it all with the first session.) You can also ask a friend to give you feedback. Ask them, “What is it that I always do, that I can’t NOT do?” You’ll know that you’ve hit the right answer because you’ll see that you’ve always done that. It’s what you bring to the table because it’s a quality unique to you.

As you live this earth life your gifts of your Soul’s characteristics will continue to be revealed to you. How? You will begin to recognize the unique quality of Light energy that is you by what you bring to every situation in your life.  In fact, you cannot help but do that because it is who you are. Your experience is reflected back to God through your unique facets of God’ Light of which you were made.

The purpose for which you were created shines in your Light.
