Service is a way to lift up humanity to its next evolution. We have been there before in our journey to Earth. The cosmic fire was lit when Jesus took embodiment and became the Christ. He came as the way - shower for all people. His mission in life was to show us what all men and women can do when they dedicate their lives to love and service.

We have all been here many times, some more that others. Everyone tries their own way to enlightenment. One way is not better than the next. One way is not necessarily “higher” than the other. All have their places in the soul experience of each individual. Each person is sent to Earth to learn certain lessons. We come in with our “wish list” of what we are here to accomplish. As each wish is checked off, the next one comes to the surface. As our lessons are learned, another star, feather, or jewel appears in our cap. We are here to get it right. Either we do it right now or we wait until the next time.

We come into each life with the necessary tools for mastery. It is our choices along the way that determine the outcome. Our lives are connected with those people who need our lessons too. A parent who cannot love may teach a child to love themselves unconditionally. Some souls just do not have the stamina to stay on the “right road.” They become selfish and self centered, caring nothing about others

The perfect life is possible when we give up part of ourselves for the good of all. The Master always has a moment to converse with the student, even if it is only one sentence uttered. When our lives can be given up for service, we know we are on the path to becoming a Christed soul. Many lifetimes of preparation are needed to begin this process.

Once you set your foot on the spiritual path, there is no turning back. It becomes your greatest desire to glimpse the truth of our existence and to understand even one minute part of how this miraculous universe works. The quest for knowledge becomes the focus of your life. This great giant puzzle and its pieces seem to begin to fit together.

There is a reason behind every action of our universe. When you understand this, the smallest inconsequential exchange takes on new meaning. Your spiritual journey begins to be lived for each moment’s sake, the “now.” The journey’s end becomes another vista of exploration and deliverance.

All this leads us to is the quiet of ourselves and all the reasons we are here at this moment. This passage has us alive, alert, and present at one of the most exciting times of our history. We and Mother Earth are about to graduate into the next dimension where the veils are lifted, and heaven is seen where it has always been, right here on Earth.

Believe it to be, and it will be. Our combined thoughts and prayers will create how we arrive in the next dimension. The whole answer is attitude. Do we see the world in chaos, or can we trust and know that everything that is happening is for our highest good in spite of appearances? God knows what She is doing. Remember to see peace, to see our Earth in harmony, to dream the dream. Then it can be the reality. See all life living in peace among nations, freedom for all to pursue their understanding of God Goddess. It is a blessing to be born into this Earth family at such a time. Give thanks and hold on to your hats. It’s going to be a glorious ride!
