RECONNECTING WITH YOUR SOUL

Reconnecting with your soul

CHAPTER ONE

THE CHANGING FACE OF REALITY

Love is a point On a birds wing . . . Flying into the sunrise Of our awareness.
Since time began, weve lived in a world where darkness has been the dominant forcewhere an uplifting life is the exception rather than the rule. Isnt it finally time to take charge of this tragedy and co-create the cooperation and oneness that will finally make us whole? At this special time in our history, our world is being offered a monumental evolutionary opportunity. With enormous support from the Forces That Be, our individual and collective consciousness is being deliberately accelerated for the purpose of rousing us out of our Egos primitive patterns of reactive negativity. Its the second coming of Christ thats been proclaimed for centuries! But this coming is not going to happen in a physical form. This time Its emerging as a new, more enlightened focus of awareness within us all! This new consciousness will bring those who choose to accept It into the full realization of Who They

RECONNECTING WITH YOUR SOUL

Have Always Beenan integral part of God and all life everywhere! As Jesus said, What I can do, you can do also, and more!" This shift in consciousness isnt something that will happen someday. Its already well into its realization. Im sure youve noticed the quickening of time, the electrifying pace, the heightened Energy, the exponential growth, the creative expansion, the escalating challenge, the rapidly-evolving oneness and the obvious disintegration of our old reactive ways of being. As this transformation has escalated, our world has been polarizing in two distinctly different directionsthe old way and the new way. The direction we decide to take will be up to each of us. We can decide to embrace the new Energy of Gods Unconditional Love and Unlimited Creativityorwe can cling to our Egos worn-out patterns of fear, conflict and limitation.. This is a choice weve all spent lifetimes preparing for and are now ready to makewhether we remember this choice or not. Its time now to move beyond our Egos endless cycle of negative drama and connect with the more sublime unfolding thats right now taking place. As this new Age of Enlightenmentor Soul-Consciousnessemerges within us, the aspects of our society that still adhere to our Egos old unworkable patterns have been breaking down, i.e. politics, business, finance, organized religion, health care, education, law, ethics and morality. At the same time, primitive emotions like hatred, aggression, violence, victimhood, retribution, dishonesty, cruelty, fear, blame, greed, gluttony, lasciviousness and insensitivity have been stepping into the spotlight for scrutiny. Like the Phoenix rising from its own ashes, old ways of being must first selfdestruct before they can resurrect themselves at a more enlightened focus of consciousness. As this transformation process unfolds, those who are awake enough to notice will suddenly become acutely aware of the serious glitches in our social mores glitches that previously eluded us. When we open our eyes to the current condition of our world, well suddenly see weve been blinded by our universal obsession with survival at any costwith its relentless destruction of all living things. Well have to own up to the fact that our old way of life has created such overwhelming stress that most people experience some degree of physical and/or emotional dysfunction most of the time. Then theres our out-of-control debt and inflation, our unexplained scarcities in the midst of abundance, the vicious and mindless rape of our global environment, and our excessive materialism and self-involvementall pointing to

RECONNECTING WITH YOUR SOUL

an inexplicable refusal to take charge of the way we live our lives. Its time to face the crisis we have created through our own unawareness! When we open our eyes even further, well discover our sense of beauty and sensitivity has been compromised in favor of senseless violence, a fascination with darkness and dumbness, and an insidious lowering of ethical and moral standards. Well see that our ability to communicate with one another has been sabotaged by an endless circling of personal and national agendas, and that millions have died through the ages defending religious interpretations that have nothing to do with their original truth. Well discover that weve relinquished our Souls inner knowing to our Egos out there information, and that our power elite have strangled our world in a relentless grip of greed. And thenas our blinders finally fall awaywell discover that the driving force behind all this fear and ignorance has been our own mediashouting its repetitious alarm messages and controlled information from an endless assortment of communication devices. Its like an insidious shadow of darkness pulling the curtains closed on a bad play. Most people are afraid to think about all this, and keep themselves busy with a million little things that dont matter. Its where their debilitating need to be busy all the time comes from. But the worry is theredeep insidegnawing at them. The world is having trouble staying asleep because of the growing pressure of these self-made nightmares. Clearly its time to commit to a new Way of Being! Its time to face the crisis our own lack of awareness has created! The decision of which polarity we decide to support will be up to each of us. Those who choose the new frequency of Gods Unconditional Love and Unlimited Creativity will find their life growing more satisfying and synchronistic with each passing daywhile those who continue to buy into their Egos primitive patterns of programmed reaction, conflict and subjugation will find things falling apart with an ever-increasing intensity. Life has grown weary of our indefensible resistance to our own evolution. It all depends on how gracefully we can each align ourselves with the Energy of this new age and release our misguided definitions of what works and what doesnt. The ultimate goal of this new social/spiritual paradigm is the dissolution of our Egos reactive programming and the full acceptance of Gods Essenceas a benevolent Presence that lives within us all.

RECONNECTING WITH YOUR SOUL

As our reactive negativity loses its hold over us, a growing momentum of positive change will take its place. If everyone does their part, it can become an age where the inner guidance of our Creator becomes the focal point of our lives. Gods Energy will then express at last through a fully awakened and receptive humanity. This incredible blessing will be ours when we decide to accept God as a Great Spirit of Unconditional Love and Unlimited Creativityeternally evolving through the unfolding consciousness of all life everywhere. This means we are all Co-Creators with God and, as such, must become totally accountable for our special part of what life is forever becoming!

EXPLORING OUR NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH GOD

To begin this journey into our mutual awakening, lets imagine were observing our lives through Gods eyes. When we utilize this more elevated perspective, our so-called reality abruptly transforms itself. It now becomes a direct reflection of how were each deciding to position our share of Gods Energy. Whenever things appear negative in our lives then, life is trying to show us what we need to evolve within ourselves in that moment. And when our experience is positive, Its mirroring our progress. Life is a Self-reflecting process. Actively cooperating with this divine process places a new emphasis on inner accountabilityrather than outer controland evolves us all in the direction we were meant to go. Evolution, by its very nature, is a continually unfolding eventemerging out of whats undeveloped and growing forever into whats more developed or different. Any time you want to become more enlightened or more competent in any area of your life, it always requires the trial and error of correction, development and practice. By resisting this natural processand constantly trying to look good when we dont feel goodweve inadvertently disregarded our sacred role in Gods eternal evolution! Surely something well want to correct as soon as possible! When we finally decide to become fully accountable for whats happening to us, well recognize that all our negative scenarios have simply been the product of our allowing someone or something else to position our share of Gods Energy for us. By fully accepting this fact, well never again have to feel at the effect of what someone else has done to us, or how others have made us feel. Well at last realize we were born to co-createnot reactand become conscious participants in the evolution of all life everywhere!

RECONNECTING WITH YOUR SOUL

Welcoming Your Souls Evolutionary Assignments

Evolutionary Assignments are here defined as what your so-called problems can evolve into when you decide to become totally accountable for the direction of your part of Gods Energy. When you decide to perceive your challenges as Evolutionary Assignments like this, your problems will no longer be a negative experience! Theyll have transformed themselves into your Spiritual Teachers there to invite you into a cooperative relationship with both your eternally evolving Soul and the collective consciousness of all life everywhere.
This no-fault approach to life will continually encourage the deepening of everyones self-confidence and help us heal our relationships with others! When there is no blame or fault, there is no more reason for conflict or condemnation. Can you even imagine the positive impact it will have when we each decide to accept our failures and transgressions as the beginning stages of our next Evolutionary Assignmentand then support one another in that process? It will open us all to a new way of evolving together for God!

A Real Life Example of an Evolutionary Assignment

Imagine with me now that youve just had a fairly long term experience with good health. Feeling healthy like this is, of course, a demonstration of your unblocked connection with the natural flow of life. Because life is all about an evolutionary interaction between your Egos challenges and your Souls resulting realizations however, this temporary feelgood must now surrender itself to the next stage of your evolutionary process. This next stage will ask for your conscious intervention into the old unworkable beliefs and behaviors that are getting in the way of your Souls evolution. This is when you might catch a bad case of the flu thats been going around. Well further imagine that this misery and its related symptoms lasts for about three weeksjust long enough to get your full attention. Finally then, when you return to your usual good health, you find you have a renewed sense of what you previously took for granted. By temporarily departing from your good health like thisand then returning to ityouve sharpened both your awareness and your appreciation of that awareness. At this point, youre apt to make determined declarations like Ive got to start taking better care of myself! or Ill finally learn how to relax and enjoy myself! or Ill stop trying to prove myself all the time! or Ill learn to ask for help when

RECONNECTING WITH YOUR SOUL

I need it! If youll notice, youre so excited about your rediscovered good in one area of your life, you want to take it into the other areas as well. There are two responses to this spontaneous spike in your awareness: You can do what most people do and experience a short burst of resolve, followed by an almost immediate return to your previous unawarenessoryou can embrace the Assignments your Soul has offered you through your impulsive declarations and deliberately orchestrate a more enlightened focus of your consciousness. If you choose to ignore your presenting Assignments, you leave your Soul no recourse but to create more intense wake-up calls. This is why so many people go from one apparent negative to another and finally end up with some kind of crisis or tragedy. Its well to note here, that these evolutionary messages will escalate the level of their intensity until you pay attention to them! Its their job! If you choose the second option, and decide to consciously evolve yourself, youll take charge of your old crazy-makerslike your lack of accountability for your own health, your hyper-busyness, your obsession with getting other peoples approval, and your old I can do it myself mind-set. By consciously accepting these free-flowing Assignments, youll co-create a healthier lifestyle, a balance between your activity and your rest, a new inner support system, and the ability to ask for help when you need it. Yo! Thats what your flu was all about! It wasnt a bad thing! It was a good thing! And you didnt catch it because it was going around. You co-created it in order to evolve yourself!

And so, whenever you work through an apparently painful challenge to the rewarding realizations on the other side, you, God, and all life everywhere have evolved together. Its how we gradually open ourselves to the reciprocal magic of Gods Unconditional Love and Unlimited Creativity!

Trying On Your New Soul Perspectives

The following list of new Soul perspectives will summarize the positive changes that await you in our new Age of Enlightenment. As I share these gifts with you, invest some real time in truly imagining, and then experiencing, how each of them might become real in your life. All your apparent negatives will now be redefined as the positive Evolutionary Assignments they were meant to become.

RECONNECTING WITH YOUR SOUL Everything you react to as unfair, hurtful, sinful, bad, wrong, and/or evil will now represent a divine invitation to evolve some aspect of Gods Unconditional Love and Unlimited Creativity within yourself. Every perceived insult now becomes a signal to ferret out your own unconscious negatives and learn to Love yourself Unconditionally from within. All change and disruption can now be welcomed as affirmative proof that youre ready to evolve again for God and all live everywhere. All apparent negatives now become sacred Messages calling for an expansion of Gods Love and Creativity in your life.

Ask yourself now: Did you willingly imagine your self into your Souls possible future here? Or did you close yourself off from any new input? This exercise has two responses: It can either feel like an invitation or a threat. The way you responded will tell you whether youre a part of the old way or the new way.

CHAPTER SUMMARY
To sum it all up then, EVERYTHING that happens to youor anyone elsehas an evolutionary purpose. When you decide to embrace this more all-inclusive approach to life, youll be officially acknowledging Gods Unconditional Love and Unlimited Creativity as an integral part of Who You Already Are. There quite simply is no more powerful realization than this! As we each become a part of the profound awakening that is the essence of our current Age of Enlightenment, therell be no official recognition or public celebration. The media wont mention it, and only a precious few will even be aware of it. This is because, at first, it wont happen out there. It will happen in there. For some, it wont happen at all, because theyll be too busy defending their Egos old unworkables. When you finally decide to become an active participant in the grand evolution of Godor ALL THERE ISyoull be irresistibly drawn into this powerful new Energy of Light and Love. Suddenly, youll KNOW Who You Really Are with a conviction that goes beyond anything youve ever experienced! In this magical moment, youll find youve opened yourself to what lies beyond the prison of your Egos challenging reactions and youll at-last embrace your God-given

RECONNECTING WITH YOUR SOUL

divinity! When youre ready to make this leap of faith, youll find therell be no other choice. It will s-w-e-e-p you into a glorious reunion with Who You Have Always Beena Co-Creator with God!

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? I Corinthians 3:16
