In our audio channeled message today we are prodded to truly become who we are, to let go of perceived limitations and old ideas of ourselves and enter into life in a new way, as our true selves. This is possible every day, even if only in little steps.
To change is our personal challenge as much as it is the world’s challenge. And we are the only ones who can truly change ourselves. Do so without fear. Become who you are truly meant to be.
Let yourself relax in the flow of life. Know your own energy by paying attention to it, how it works, discovering what you are really made of. You might think of yourself as only body and brain, but you are so much more than that. Your spirit, your energy, is the you that connects with others, the part of you that is felt before anything else, that others are drawn to, that you yourself long for. Get to know this beautiful self and all will be well in the flow of life. You just can’t go wrong with the REAL you! And it knows how to relax!
Find solace in knowing that your spirit loves you and is always with you, seeking your attention, pushing and prodding you, knocking you down and picking you up again. You may call such happenings accidents, fate, or mistakes, but think again. Why do things really happen to you? Who or what is behind them? Everything is meaningful; everything is for a reason. Rather than look outside of you for the cause, to blame and shame, or in resentment, look inside and know your spirit, how it works to keep you in line, in alignment, and alive. With gratitude, accept yourself as the whole mysterious, magical being that you really are, and thank your spirit, every day, for all that it does for you, no matter how it chooses to get your attention.

In our audio channeling today we are encouraged to reconnect with our own spirit, the part of ourselves that constantly seeks to guide us and show us the right way. Perhaps we ignore it, rationalize it away, or forget about it, but it is there nonetheless, unrelentingly seeking to get our attention.

In addition to the petty tyrants that all people are impacted by—in their outer lives in the everyday world—is the tyrant within, the one that has us do what our more enlightened self would have us not do. Who is that mysterious other that upends our clearest, most grounded rational intentions, in a heartbeat?
That mysterious other is indeed a spirit, recognizable by its insatiable appetite for more. Rightly situated, that hunger for freedom is what propels the energy body to explore the universe, also in a heartbeat. Command of that spirit in dreaming is the goal of all spiritual seekers, as they prove for themselves the fuller capabilities of all that we are.
However, when that same spirit more projects itself upon the object world of everyday life it fixates on substances, objects, behaviors and people to quench its insatiable appetite for more. This is the obvious basis of all addictions: Our insatiable spiritual appetite entwined with the concrete objects of this world.
Being an insatiable spirit, it stands to reason that enough will never be enough. When spirit more attaches, obsession without end—its version of infinity—is its marching orders. Once spirit more takes up residence in ego spirit’s domain (the world of everyday life), ego is easily mesmerized by the promise of ecstatic fulfillment.
The problem with spirit more’s perspective of everyday life is that it acts there the way it acts in its pure energy body state. In that spiritual state anything is possible and time is largely nonexistent. Spirit more does not have to face the aging and dying of the human body, it lives in infinity.
The human body, in contrast, has its definite limits and fixed duration of life. When driven and controlled by spirit more, it is subject to illness and injury, as well as the distorted idea that it will live forever. It can cause many to delay their growth because they believe they have forever.
Of course, a touch of spirit more sprinkled lightly upon the affairs of everyday life is extremely helpful and energizing. Spirit more is a source of magic in everyday life. However, its proper domain is the energetic world of dreaming, where its true ambitions can be realized. When left to roam freely in the playing field of everyday life it wreaks havoc.
This is the heart of the opioid crisis. This is at the heart of the greed currently controlling the world. Spirit more can act as a tyrant when it infiltrates the psyche of a leader. We do well to view it as a misplaced spiritual drive, rather than our manifest destiny to entitlement.
In the world of everyday life, we are spirit beings in finite bodies. In the world of spirit, we are infinite beings, currently engaged in an enriching time-limited human form adventure. To integrate our spirit longings with our physical limitations is our deepest challenge in this life.
Honor spirit more by allowing its touch in everyday life, but be sure that ego spirit remains effectively in control at the heart center. In return, intend to journey with spirit more in its infinite playing field through the gateway of the dream.
Find fulfillment in both realms, but never confuse who should be in charge in their respective domains.
