Dear Jeanne,
It has been a busy week, energetically charged. What message and guidance do you have for us all as we go into the weekend?
Continue to hold your own, so to speak. Continue to hold your light within, your candle of calm steady self-induced and centered awareness. Continue to be aware that your own steadiness and detachment are most necessary now, even though you may be pulled outward and sought for your qualities of availability, and because you are the answer to so many other people’s worries and problems. You are not meant to carry that which is not your burden, but you will not recognize what is not your burden until you discover what your own true burdens are, based on what is projected upon you.
Before dismissing the energetic drains, and those who seek your attention, investigate the projective field as it is presented. Question the self as to the needs of others and reflect upon a similar need in the self. Do not judge others too harshly, nor push them away with abandon, but look at each situation that arises for the lessons it teaches you. Each interaction and event in your life is meaningful. Your quest through life is to discover the meaning of everything as related to the self and to take the proper steps to grow as a result of fully understanding and owning each challenge.
My contention is that, at each step, you will find resolution by taking into consideration these points when you are confronted with a problem, dilemma, or any issue that requires your attention and help:
1. First, step back in calmness and assess the situation. This is the first moment of detachment in order to get to a place of…
2. clarity, so that you may truly understand the severity of the issue and the necessity of your involvement so that the next step may be…
3. either correct right action, if called for, or further detachment, if called for. Both of these actions must be accompanied by heart-centered knowing so that…
4. true loving compassion may be part of your right action or your detachment. This will lead to…
5. certainty that you have handled your challenge with a true knowing of the place of self as guide to both self and the other, or others, who seek your attention.
6. With true knowing comes clarity of purpose as you begin to see how your role in life develops based on the challenges presented, how you choose to act and react, and how your actions are received by others. This will lead to…
7. deeper understanding of the projective field and deeper understanding of the self and the roles of others in your lives. By gaining deeper understanding of the projective field you will gain…
8. greater awareness of the meaning of every task, challenge, event, and disturbance in your life, as well as the deeper meaning of everything that is lovely, desirable, necessary, and easily accessible because, by your awareness, you will gain access to…
9. the dawning of your true journey. As your journey unfolds you are being shown where to go, how to act and react, what decisions are right, and what choices are wrong for the self and others. You are being directed toward the true meaning and purpose of your life and…
10. if you remain open, at all times, to the deeper study of all that you encounter in life, you will discover that your true purpose is something quite unimaginable. But you will not discover this until you are actually confronted with the truth of it, based on your trust in the self. This trust is gained by proving, over and over again, that heart-centered action is right action and that the projective field all around you is not meant to discourage you, but to actually encourage you to question the self more often. You will find true relief by questioning the self, by going into heart-centered calm, by bringing your light innerly and tending to its steady flame, by which you may always read the truth of life’s dilemmas.
This is a time of searching for identity, so do not dismiss your own quest for true identity, nor the challenges that others must put themselves through. Each of you will test the self in the way that you must challenge the self with. Do not dismiss those around you as being less enlightened or more assured; for all are at the place they need to be, as are you!
Continue to find your flame and bring it inwardly, cupping your hands around it and staying focused on rightness of action, even if that means not taking action, but simply observing with detachment, for that is the way to discover what true loving compassion means, and how to give it totally, without ego or asking for anything in return.
