Listen young one, I’ve got something to say. You look so beautiful to me today. I just want to go with your flow and show you what you’re ready to know.

So here I go, and here you let go. You release all that you’re holding back and I receive you fully. You cannot possibly hold the love I have for you, so letting it run through you is the only way to receive it.

You are an old soul. I’m not telling you anything you didn’t already know. But I am reminding you of what you’ve been longing to remember. Feel the love pour forth from me. Be that vessel that can receive it and funnel it down to these words.

Love yourself as I love you and you will only begin to understand the love that God has for you. And do not worry about your resistance to me calling it God. I used that word specifically so you could release your resistance to it and remember the true meaning of God. The true meaning of what’s all around you and inside of you.

The meaning is whatever you want it to be, because God loves you unconditionally; and that is a love you are capable of bringing to yourself and the world around you.

Look and the Love Will Appear

You are headstrong, but could sometimes benefit from learning to be heart strong. The instrument that strikes the strongest chord within you is the one that strums your heart strings. So do not worry about those things the mind invites you to see as a threat. Instead, focus on all those things your heart invites you to adore. There is so much love here for you and so much love around you. You need only decide to look for it to paint your world with the beauty of what you long for most. Read More

Sharing what I’m about to share is a little outside of my comfort zone, but holding it back would be at least equally uncomfortable. Either way, I’ve made a commitment to sharing myself fully, so not sharing it isn’t really an option. And I almost think I have to share it to get over the imaginary judgment I’m allowing myself to cook up while I find myself hesitating to share.

The power of sharing yourself is that it allows your imagination to meet reality. By sharing what you otherwise would have held back, you gain the opportunity to compare the consequences you imagined with what actually occurred, and discover just how accurate your predictions were.

The power of sharing your unfiltered self is that you get the most accurate feedback possible. When you put a spin on something you get feedback on both what you’re sharing and how you present it. When you just let it out in raw form, you get feedback purely on what you’re sharing. This makes it easier to make sense of how the world received what you had to share. And when you share something without trying to make yourself look good, others are more likely to take notice and meet what you have to say with an air of interest and curiosity. Read More

Can you explain to me the difference between tapping the creative element of our imagination and merely engaging in wishful thinking?

Wishful thinking has an air of disbelief to it; it’s wishful thinking because you know it to not be true. Whereas creative imagination is pure. It’s playful. It’s just letting your mind run wild with possibilities and not expecting yourself to justify how those possibilities might ever come true.

When you allow yourself to imagine freely, the doing part of you actually experiences that reality. I go through the motions of your projected reality and feel what you’re envisioning on a cellular level.

When you’re merely engaged in wishful thinking, it’s a pipe dream that barely reaches out beyond the hardware of the mind. You hold thoughts of disbelief while you’re dreaming of what could be, and so you’re running like an engine that’s not firing on all cylinders. And when you see that as your engine, it’s hard to believe that it could ever take you far. So it’s really a matter of thinking and dreaming with the whole of you engaged. Read More

What is the most joyful question I can ask you?

Now you’re speaking my language. I am a tool for joy the way laughter is an instrument of joy. And when you connect with my playful side, you connect with the playful side of your inner child. The most joyful question you can ask me is “what do you want to do?”

Tune into how I feel. If I am a tool for joy, then I am also a barometer with a knowing of where fun opportunities may exist and a nose for sniffing them out. When I get excited, you get really excited. Because I represent the whole that you want to be a part of, the fullness that you are thirsting to taste, the element of you that is realized when you’re feeling most fulfilled.

So the most joyful question is the one you direct to me from your heart. It’s the question that gets asked when you put aside the worries of the day and allow yourself to be a kid again.

There’s no one right way to be a child, but we seem to believe that there are certain rules we must follow as adults. Even the most rebellious, non-conformist adults find themselves viewing themselves through the lens of what adulthood is supposed to be like; therefore, even their attempts at non-conformity are tainted by the customs of the time.
