The parable of The Little Soul and The Sun from The Conversations with God

"You may choose to experience any Aspect of Divinity in, as, and through you."

"Then I choose Forgiveness. I want to experience my Self as that Aspect of God called Complete Forgiveness" said the Little Soul.

Well, this created a little challenge, as you can imagine. 

There was no one to forgive. 

"No one to forgive? asked the Little Soul, somewhat incredulously.   

"No one," I repeated. "Look around you. Do you see any souls less perfect, less wonderful than you?" 

At this the Little Soul twirled around, and was surprised to see himself surrounded by all the souls in heaven. They had come from far and wide throughout the Kingdom, because they heard that the Little Soul was having an extraordinary conversation with God.

"I see none less perfect than I!" the Little Soul exclaimed. "'who, then, shall I have to forgive?"

Just then, another soul stepped forward from the crowd. "You may forgive me" said this Friendly Soul.

"For what?" the Little Soul asked. 

"I will come into your next physical lifetime and do something for you to forgive," replied the Friendly Soul

"But what? What could you, a being of such Perfect Light, do to make me want to forgive you?" the Little Soul wanted to know.

“Oh,” smiled the Friendly Soul, “I’m sure we can think of something.”

“But why would you want to do this?” The Little Soul could not figure out why a being of such perfection would want to slow down its vibration so much that it could actually do something “bad.”

“Simple,” the Friendly Soul explained, “I would do it because I love you. You want to experience your Self as Forgiving, don’t you? Besides, you’ve done the same for me.”

“I have?” asked the Little Soul.

“Of course. Don’t you remember? We’ve been All Of It, you and I. We've been the Up and the Down of it, and the Left and the Right of it. We've been the Here and the There of it, the Male and the Female of it, the Good and the Bad of it. We've all been the All of it. 
"And we've done it by agreement, so that each of us might experience ourselves as The Grandest Part of God. For we have understood that....
"In the absence of 'cold,' you cannot be 'warm.' In the absence of 'sad,' you cannot be 'happy,' without a thing called 'evil,' the experience you call 'good' cannot exist.
If you choose to be a thing, something or someone opposite to that has to show up somewhere in your universe to make that possible." 
The Friendly Soul then explained that those people are God's Special Angels, and these conditions God's Gifts. 
"I ask only one thing in return," the Friendly Soul declared.
"Anything! Anything," the Little Soul cried. He was excited now to know that he could experience every Divine Aspect of God. He understood, now, The Plan.
"In the moment that I strike you and smite you," said the Friendly Soul, "in the moment that I do the worst to you that you could ever imagine - in that selfsame moment . . . remember Who I Really Am."
"Oh, I won't forget!" promised the Little Soul. "I will see you in the perfection with which I hold you now, and I will remember Who You Are, always." 

Have you, My Little Soul, kept this promise to others?

No, I'm sad to say I have not.

Do not be sad. Be happy to notice what is true, and be joyous in your decision to live a new truth.

FROM HOME WITH GOD

One way to achieve being centered is to look into your own eyes in a mirror. This is an incredibly powerful tool. The trick is to not turn away if this deep looking becomes uncomfortable. If you are able to hold your own gaze for more than a count of ten, you will begin to experience such compassion and love for yourself that you will almost not know what to do with that feeling.
It could be very difficult for you to take in this feeling if you are not used to loving yourself-and most people, sadly, are not. Just be with the feeling and embrace it.

Continue looking deeply and more deeply into your own eyes. If you use a hand mirror, you can be sitting when you do this. Now all at once, after looking deeply into your own eyes for as long as you can, simply and quickly close your eyes-and be with the feeling that follows. Very often you will feel merged with the Essence. This could last only a moment-or for the rest of the day.

THE PLAN: By Dr. Steve Hudson (An imaginary story of what happens when our earthly life is over and we go back Home....) www.awakeningangels.ca

They sat around a large table in their celestial mansion sipping spiritual martinis and reminiscing over their last lifetime together on Earth It had been exciting, adventurous and terrifying, especially the devastating train crash at the end that send them all Home and into the waiting arm of Azrael, the loving Angel of Death. He had been so pleased to see them all again. These half dozen souls had journeyed together as a family since the beginning of time like a group of traveling players each acting their chosen part in one earthly drama after the next.

Lintar was the first to speak as he raised his glass in the air, "I propose a toast to honor all the magnificent souls who were part of our many physical experiences. May we continue to grow and know ourselves more deeply with each passing lifetime." The others followed with similar salutations and knew exactly what was coming next. They shuffled in their seats with excited anticipation and waited for Lintar to continue. "I've been thinking," he mused out loud, "we need a new plan.

I think in our next lifetime I would like to be a successful businessman," he began. "Yes, wealth and comfort this time and how about a loving wife and family to complete the picture?" He glanced over at Minoc, his trusted companion, who could read his mind in an instant.

"I have got it," she said as her eyes lit up. "I'll wait a year to be born in the same neighborhood you grow up in, We can become childhood sweethearts and get married soon after High School." She thought for a moment or two longer. "Let's have three children by the time we are in our early twenties.

Three small hands on the other side of the table shot into the air. "Can we play the children" they shouted all together? "Please.....please......please!" Lintar smiled at the mockery. His three "children" were as old as he was. They just liked getting into character as early as possible.

"Good, that's settled," he went on and summed up the plan thus far. "High School sweethearts; loving family and a successful business by the time I'm forty. That sounds great"

"That sounds utterly boring," contradicted Suto in a sexy, sultry voice. She was the only one who hadn't added her ten cents worth to the conversation yet. "How about I wait ten or fifteen years to be born and you hire me as your personal, private secretary when the time is right. I can be the femme fatale of the story. I can see me now - long beautiful hair and flashing blue eyes. Darling, you won't be able to resist me -count on it!"

And with that, the plan began to gain momentum. "Good," exclaimed Minoc. "You can have a long and passionate affair with my husband and after about a year, I get to discover your treachery."

"Then what?" said Lintar, wondering what his soul mates were cooking up next.

"Well," said his wife-to-be, "I will divorce you and take all your money: the children will hate you and never want to see you again?"

Before she could finish her train of thought, Lintar jumped right back in. "Yes," he agreed excitedly. "And then I'll go into a deep depression and lose my company as well. So before I come back Home I can experience despair. I've always wanted to experience the depths of despair. The utter hopelessness of having lost everything and everyone I ever loved in my life. I think I will choose to die a destitute beggar on the streets of Cleveland in winter. That should do it. But what about you guys? Everyone has to get something out of this drama.

Minoc thought for a while. "I guess I would experience betrayal, wouldn't I? After all, you were the only man I ever loved and I gave you the best years of my life."

The vibration of the room suddenly went up by several octaves as the presence of The Creator was felt. She touched Minoc gently on the shoulder and whispered for all to hear, "Don't forget "forgiveness" my little ones. Your drama will give you all a great opportunity to forgive those you feel have "wronged" you."

"I'll try to remember," said Minoc, "but when we are in that heavy earthly energy it isn't easy."

"I know," The Creator replied, "but when you forgive, you vibrate as I do and all wounds can be healed. These dark experiences you are choosing will allow you know your self as only Love and Light. So, bon voyage on your next journey and remember that my Angels and I will always be with you, even in your darkest moments," And with that, The Creator left the room.

They turned to Suto who had already given some thought to her part in the play. "I could experience guilt at breaking up a family and ruining the life of a good man. But what about the children - what would they get out of the drama?"

The three "children" were now totally in character and running around the room playing leap frog. They went into a huddle and after a while Putar spoke up on behalf of the trio. "This experience will give all three of us some powerful emotions to deal with, he began. "We will hate our father for hurting our mother so badly, but at the same time, we will resent her for taking us away from him. By the time he leaves us we will have grown to love him so much that the abandonment will be unbearable. Oh yes, we will also have the opportunity to forgive him, but that, most likely, won't come until we get older and the emotional wounds aren't quite so raw."

Lintar stroked his chin and smiled. "Now that sounds like a plan! All we have to do now is to incarnate and forget it."

The Shakespeare quote that, "All the world's a stage and we men and women merely players," is true at the deepest spiritual level. We are incarnations of our soul with a plan to experience it all over every lifetime, past, present and future; and our soul family dutifully play their parts along the way. '''But remember, the one who comes into your life and hurts you, betrays you, or causes you any of the darkest experience laid out in your Life Plan, is also the one who loves you the most. For who else would love you enough to give you that experience?

The Magic Rule of 21: From 'The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari'

The Magic Rule of 21

For new behavior to crystallize into a habit, one had to perform the new activity for twenty-one days in a row. The only way to permanently install a new habit is to direct so much energy toward it that the old one slips away like an unwelcome house guest. The installation is generally complete in about twenty-one days, the time it takes to create a new neural pathway.

So, staying with your goal for a period of twenty-one days and performing the new activity at the same time for each of these days, will insert it into your routine. Whether it is meditation, getting up earlier or reading for an hour every day, soon you will be performing the new habit with the same ease that you feel while brushing your teeth.

From: Between Death and Life

Some people think that there is no life after death. But once something exists, the energy which is that existence cannot be destroyed. Why is it so hard to believe that there is existence after the death of a physical body? You cannot destroy something like electricity because the energy is always there although in a different form. Why do they think that a human spirit and soul can 'be destroyed' when energy cannot? That is what the human soul is-nothing but energy. For the soul is not merely a thing which is residing within the physical body. It is an energy. And as an energy, it can propagate as energies are wont to do. The correct perception of your personality would be as energy, for that is the essence of the truth of creation- that all is energy. Some forms are on lower levels such as the physical world around you; but they are energy and can be demonstrated as such by simple conversion processes such as fire. All matter is in reality, energy. It is simply manifested in a lower, baser form. And so you can see yourselves as pure beings of energy, nothing more, nothing less. There is no such thing as matter. This is simply a connotation which has been given to describe that which is apparent around the "physical" world.
