It is time to pause. Just as the long road eventually leads to mastery, the quiet path will lead to knowledge and the still mind will lead to right action. No matter the circumstances, true right action comes from deep within. Though it may sometimes seem as if right action comes from a quick, natural impulse or reaction, more often than not true right action will only come after deeper contemplation, for true right action is an act of the heart not of the mind, not of strategy and manipulation, conniving and posturing but the setting in motion of something called love. That is right action, decision based in love.

-From the Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Who does not feel they have the answer? Only the innocent heart knows, and yet often even that is not enough to convince.

Where has love gone? Not too far. It is where it always is, in the loving hearts of all good people. That’s the answer; love is.

And who does not know what love is?

It is not the coiled asp ready to strike but the soft moon’s glow.

It is not the sword drawn to quarter but the golden sun’s light.

It is not hatred in the eyes but sweetness in the heart.

That’s what love is.

-From the Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

All sentient beings must pull inward and become containers of love, for it is only with worldwide love that worldwide problems will resolve. In spite of the dark side that now rises from the gloom of reality, and in spite of the truth the darkness reveals, the truth of the two sides of all of nature, the antidote remains the same: Universal Love and Compassion. They must become the new world language, the universal language that transcends all borders and which all beings already speak fluently but have failed to practice sufficiently. It is now time to become fluent once again.

There can be no light without the dark and there will be no dark without the light, for they are opposites and as such belong together. They must be paired, must be brought together if they are to be discovered, known, and fully realized for what they truly are, as two halves of the whole Self.

Self-realization is the key to everything. Take in the world around you, learn from it, for it holds many truths and necessities, but it is in the deeper unconscious self, in the light and dark of Self that wholeness will be found.

All the answers you seek lie within. No matter what you seek without, turn always, at the end of the day, back into the Self and find what you need therein. Eventually, all beings must go there, for it is the path of the evolving spirit Self. Are you not an evolving spirit too?

This is a little late getting out due to storm damage in our neighborhood. Finally found some internet! The November Witch’s  wind came through last night with a vengeance, just as news of the attacks in France were coming through. Jan’s brother in France reports that he is safe, but in the meantime there is a lot of tornadic energy still out there.

On Thursday night, Jan had a numinous dream in which a huge energetic force sucked all energy from the earth, destroying all of nature, revealing what lay buried in the depths of the earth, a large coiled cobra. Then a giant tidal wave came and washed over everything, bringing a new order. Jan stood calmly as all of this took place around her. After the tidal wave she calmly walked away, followed by the cobra, to higher ground, but all that had been was transformed. The valley that had been a river was now the ocean, transformed from the personal to the universal. This is what Jan understood as important now, the new world order is universal love and compassion.

Today’s Soulbyte is twofold, urging deep reflection and a change of attitude.

Universal Guidance:

It is time for all beings to be who they truly are: loving, compassionate beings, to not go to the side of fear, anger, or despair but to remain solidly on the side of good. There is no other path if mankind is to resolve and solve the dilemmas of the world. Hatred breeds hatred. Fear needs fear in order to relish victory. Good will bring good, compassion more compassion. Love is needed. Let it begin with you. Now.

Personal Guidance:

Notice how the body wants its pleasures in spite of what else is going on. It asks to be taken care of in the usual manner. It wants. The ego tries to take over and set things right, to assert itself to gain balance and remain practical. But where is your spirit and what does it want? It knows there is a higher calling for all beings and there is no time like now to align with that.
