“As you look at, as you did in past, the events and circumstances and certain disappointments in your life as you did, you limit yourself. Rather, see these things of the past and others that might be forth coming as gifts to you, given with a note of loving humor. A bit of tongue in cheek in that choice of words. Opportunities the better… Look at these from the Spirit. Look at these not from the temporal. From that which is being used as the instrument for the discovery, for the awakening, for the contribution, for the service, as in past, referring to this life, this physical body and this journey. But see these things from an attitude of lightness and joy knowing this is one step on the pathway and the journey that has been chosen as a service to and with those other children of God who are upon that same journey.”
“You have on several occasions been present when the Master was about those works as indicated. In those times, even in the confrontation of what could be called non-accomplishment, failure. There was not the disappointment but rather wonder and lightness at finding that this path did not function the way it was anticipated. It was considered a discovery, an enlightenment, and something to build upon, not held personally or emotionally. For so doing greatly limits self and prevents the expression of that joy which is the nature of your spirit, and of course, your soul.”
“Never judge self by the outcome in the Earth. For the Earth is not always respectful of the spirit and love of those striving to serve. The return of the love and joy of service comes from within self, from the wellspring within and from that Light that cometh to thee as you give these on the part of those whom are served and those you encounter. Be cautious not to judge your own creations where this is in word, deed, or a literal creative work based upon the actions or reactions or the non-reactions of others and disappointments in the past. What could be called betrayal is merely a discovery. It is not intended to be a burden. See? Be lighthearted with self and the same with life. See life as a wondrous opportunity for discovery.”
