Energy attracts reality

When a person yearns for a thing--a situation in life, an opportunity, some kind of material abundance--this act of yearning sets up powerful forces.  These forces survive physical death just as the personality survives physical death.  By wishing intensely for a thing, the universe, like a scale, sets in motion forces to fulfill that wish.  Wishes do come true.  By wishing to be born to a higher social class, Jonathan created the circumstance wherein, in another life, he was indeed born to a family of high social standing.

Perhaps this sounds lovely.  Of course, it is.  But it is also the construction for oneself of further earth lessons.  For those of you who feel weary of the suffering of physical life, we will give a little hint: be content with what you have, who you are, your station in life.  By longing to be something more, or have something more, you create for yourself a reciprocal response by the universe to fulfill those dreams.  You will live another life to receive that gift. ...

When a soul regrets such wishes on this side, it doesn't count.  But when a person, while in life, comes to discard her or his dreams and desires, then that cancels the forces that were set in motion by the original yearning.  If one can learn in life the futility of wanting prestige, wealth, and status, then no future lessons are necessary.  This is the highest accomplishment--to learn truths while still on your physical plane, the stage of misconception and illusion.

Emphases are mine. 

Every wish comes true in one way or another, so we should be really careful about what to wish for.  

We can and will learn what we should learn, anyway; what matters is "when."  

　

You have nothing to fear

A burden has been placed upon your shoulders; how you bear it you will decide.  If you square your shoulders and say, "This is my burden, I will carry it," it will become lighter because your soul will grow and in growing allow some of that inner strength to heal you.  There is none spiritually impoverished for using honesty and courage in facing difficulties.  You have nothing to fear. (p. 61)

Life is what we had planned before we were born; it is for learning lessons and becoming a better person.  Everything we experience on earth is our own decision and creation. 

We know deep down what difficulties we are going through and what pleasures we will enjoy.  It is only we do not remember at a conscious level.  

It is easy to be cheerful when there is everything to be cheerful about

It is easy to be cheerful when there is everything to be cheerful about, but not so easy when the earth is shrouded in darkness--at these times your test comes.  It is easy to be kind when everyone is kind, easy to be loving when others are loving.  But in this there is little credit.  The wise soul knows the light is shining in the heavens even when the shadows are dense.  Thus when you raise your consciousness above the clouds, you will know that the Sun is shining and that the life of Christ is the only enduring life.

It is true that we can be nice to others when we are happy with ourselves, our relationships, jobs, opportunities, and/or recognition from others.  So it is usually advised that the first thing to do is to focus on ourselves and to take good care of ourselves to become happy.  This is too true and is very easy to do.  

However, as your soul gains experiences and grows older, the higher goal you set in order to reach an even higher stage of soul's growth.  

This message is for such souls who aspire to grow more than ever in this lifetime.

We are the weather

"... you are the weather. Almost everything you do on Earth affects the weather.  Many of you think it's up to governments to stop the global emissions of chemicals and gasses that are destroying your ozone layer and triggering changes in weather patterns, but every single one of you is the weather.  You can all do your bit to help look after the air and the Earth, then slowly but surely your cumulative efforts will kick in.  The extreme weather conditions would ease and many sicknesses would no longer plague you.  Everything could be perfect.  It may take several generations, but it can happen, it must happen.  You may think that what you do in your own home and at work makes no difference, but it's like a chain reaction.  Many people have woken up to this fact, but billions more need to be educated at how they can help--and very soon." (Chapter 4 The Return)

The above quotation is one of the messages from late Princess Diana, who passed away in July 1997, received by an English journalist, Hazel Courteney, in April 1998. 

We should remember that human beings cannot live without the Earth and Nature.  It is not only our daily efforts to try not to destroy the environment, to protect it, and to aim at a more sustainable way of living but also to remember where we have come from, who we are and why we are here, and to watch our own thoughts and emotions to live by that all of us have to do now.

Human beings, especially those who live in developed nations, should really remember that we are children of God and part of the whole Universe, and try to live more in tune with the natural environment.  

We are always with love

You are always with love.

Feel it, have it, and express it to others.

It will return to you twofold, threefold.

I share this message which was received on the Angel Seat in Chalice Well, Glastonbury, UK, in July 2018.

Hardest thing to achieve

Being selfless is very hard to achieve.  Probably one of the hardest things for humans to attain.

However, if you truly believe in the eternity of the soul and decide to live by truth, then you will need to work hard to forget yourself as much as possible.  

Efforts will be rewarded when you least expect.

At the end of tether

"It is when people seem at the end of their tether, and that nowhere can they find in the material world anything to help them, that they are ready to be illumined by the truths of the spirit."

Two Worlds No. 4435 (August 2013), pp. 11-12.

It is not impossible to learn lessons during happy times, of course.  However, basically, on Earth, lessons are learnt in contrast, e.g., easy and difficult, happy and unhappy, good and bad.  Thus, a life without any difficulties is not really beneficial for us in terms of soul's growth.  

For we are here on Earth for soul's growth.
