Grace and Clarity

Ever felt like your emotions, thoughts and body are all you are in any given moment?  These aspects of who we are sometimes ‘speak’ so loudly it’s hard to remember we are spirit, as well.  Today I ran into a great reminder from the Angels that instead of being mostly body–with just a little spirit mixed in–it’s actually the other way around…

“Just as a sheet of ice sits atop a pool of slowly freezing water so, too, is there a sheet of human existence that covers a depth of experience in Higher Realms.  That thin covering…can no more change the Truth of your soul than can one sheet of ice change the water beneath it.  Your humanity is nothing but a covering.”

Many times the Angels have reminded us that our physical form and its thoughts and emotions are like a costume the soul wears for a time.  As we approach this Halloween season, let’s be reminded of that!  When you see a princess, a goblin or a cowboy remember that the costume you wear can no more change your spirit than can a child’s costume rob them of the beauty that lies underneath.

How was your day today?  Did you enjoy the quiet flow of life unhindered by challenges and fear?  Or did you have one of those days where everything seemed to hit you at an odd angle, slipping into your vulnerable spots like a gap in the proverbial armor?

Whenever I struggle with a day which bounces me around from one odd encounter to another, I tend to start judging myself.  “Could I have done better in that situation?  Why didn’t I think to be a more attentive listener?” and on and on.  But the Guides remind us that our work here is not an easy one and that we must be patient with our growth.  Indeed, They often refer to the monumental work we are here to do as a Mission–a specific opportunity to learn and evolve in this lifetime.

The next time you judge yourself for struggling amidst the challenges of this world, remember Their loving words:

“Yours is no small Mission indeed, and you would do well to respect yourself highly and more than you do.”

We are all called to treat ourselves with patience and respect, not because of what our minds say or our bodies achieve, but because of what our souls are made of.  We are the stuff of Universal Consciousness and within us lies the courage to grow, learn and become.  I’d say that calls for a pat on the back and a “Well done!” from you –to you–every now and then!
