There are many in your world who feel themselves to be alone. They live alone inside their hearts, longing for "the other" they believe will end their loneliness and transform their world to a place of love and fulfillment. This is the search for the soulmate. Much is written in your world about this search for the beloved, but we find much of what is said about soulmates in your world to be in reverse.
To seek one’s soulmate in the outer world is to misunderstand this urge for communion that flickers inside every heart. Each being is the sum of two halves, the first being the conscious, physical manifestation, and the second, the unseen, spiritual aspect. When these two halves unite within the consciousness of an individual, they constitute a whole being. You may remember a truth we have stated before: “as above so below.” This is a basic truth that helps decode many situations in your world. It is true as well with soulmates. The conscious and subconscious minds are the true soulmates. Until a person unites these, they will not be reunited in physical reality with one who is a reflection of their inner soulmate.
In fact, the person who has not united these two aspects of their own consciousness will draw into their lives others who have not yet unified their own consciousness. Instead of sharing a sense of wholeness, these two beings will have in common a sense of lack and longing that no one can ever fill. Such relationships are created at the soul level as a learning experience to help those involved experience in the context of relationship an emptiness and longing that inspires them to search for answers and truth. In other words, if you are in relationship and you feel lonely, this is an indication you have not yet come into a clear understanding of soulmates. A relationship with another is merely a reflection of the inner soulmate reunion; it is not the soulmate reunion itself.
This outer quest for the soulmate will continue with an intensifying feeling of inner void until the person learns to transform their outer quest to an inner quest, which will in time unite the physical and spiritual aspects of their being. It is when you reach a state of inner unification that you will cease longing for another to transform your life. This is paradoxically when a person appears in your life as a reflection of your unified selves. In this way, everyone in your life is reflecting to you some aspect of yourself.
So how, you may ask, does one go about harmonizing these two aspects of their being? This is done by setting one’s intention to do so, and asking for guidance to bring awareness to the many opportunities for direct communion each day.
One of the ways your subconscious speaks to you is in your dreams. Remember, write down and work with your dreams to begin receiving these important transmissions. Spend time each day meditating in silent communion with your spiritual self. Spend time in nature listening to the still, small voice within, for this is the force of your spiritual self. A busy mind over-invested in the physical world will never find time to unite with its spiritual self.
Once the intention to unify your selves is in place, you begin to create an energetic field that grows and expands with every step you take towards inner harmony. When you unite with your spirit, you will begin to harmonize with all your selves across time. Since all-time exists simultaneously, your selves are manifested in different time-frame dimensions at once.
As you harmonize with these other "selves," you also harmonize with the souls who have played the role of your soulmate throughout time. There is a misconception in your world that there is only one soul who is capable of coming into close resonance with you. This is not the case. The "other" who comes into your life to reflect the union of your physical and spiritual selves can be one of a number of souls along an energetic spectrum. When you are in a lifetime where you are seeking to create mastery in some area, you are likely to enter into soulmate contracts with souls that have shared soulmate connections with you in previous incarnations. These souls from previous incarnations are able to easily harmonize with you and often share a similar life purpose.
It also may happen that you experience a preliminary soulmate connection in this life that is laying the groundwork for a future incarnation together. These preliminary connections often require more effort to harmonize the energies.
Some of you wonder why it takes years for you to encounter your soulmate in the physical. Many older souls prefer to build this into the design for the lifetime. That is because it takes longer for an older sold to grow into their true soul age. Until they come into this place of spiritual maturity, they do not yet have the energetic resonance to draw into their lives the soul or souls with which they will share the gifts of their spiritual wholeness and unification.
By entering the Portal of Soulmate Reunion, you can begin to create the energetic field that will assist you in harmonizing your conscious and subconscious selves. It is the frequency of this state of inner unification that draws to you a soulmate in physical reality that reflects to you this state of inner harmony and wholeness.
There is much spoken in your world about finding the "other" -- the soulmate who will bring your existence to a holistic place of healing and completion. Many changes are taking place on the Earth now that influence the timing of agreements you hold with other souls. We will shed light on the inner workings of these soulmate contracts to help you align your desire with the hastening energy of the New Earth.
You create spiritual contracts with other souls prior to incarnating. These contracts are often with souls with which you have incarnated previously. Many of these souls are members of your soul group. Others are of like resonance in some other way. The term “soulmate” refers to any soul who repeatedly plays roles in the "movies" of your various incarnations. These souls all have a vibrational resonance with you. A soul with whom you are incarnated in other timeframe dimensions has the ability to bring you into greater communion with other dimensional aspects of your self.
Soul Age and Spiritual Contracts
The term "soulmate" on Earth most often refers to a romantic relationship, but we offer here a broader view. In its highest form, a soulmate relationship is a high vibrational, loving connection that helps you grow spiritually by bringing you into closer communion with your soul. Romantic relationships of this type only come into your life when you are a vibrational match for this essence of high-vibrational love. Prior to this, all relationships derive from your spiritual understandings and your capacity for love at the time they are created. You may have observed or experienced tumultuous connections where both partners are struggling to understand the nature of unconditional love. Such connections are soul contracts that have the potential to awaken the souls who enter into them, even if it is through suffering and struggle. We make a distinction here between soul contracts and advanced soul contracts.
Many beings mature into a deeper capacity for love in the middle of their lifetime when they come into their true soul age. In each incarnation, you pass through various soul ages until you arrive at your true soul age. (There are some advanced souls who come into their true soul age early on, but in this discussion we are referring to the majority of souls incarnated on Earth). As you pass through the younger soul ages, you draw to you other souls experiencing the same soul age as you are. Some of these souls are like you, just passing through younger soul levels, while others have already found their true soul age in this younger level. The older the soul, the longer it takes to come into its true soul age.
It is easy to look back over your life and recall past relationships with people with whom you are no longer connected. At the same time, there are those from your early life who are still with you. The difference is that the souls you are no longer are in connection with were only in your field of resonance as you passed through a certain soul age. Those who have stayed with you are those who have continued to move toward their true soul age as you have. Spiritual contracts are made with souls that are of different soul ages for specific purposes, usually having to do with the completion of past-life scenarios.
For example, imagine that you were married to a soul many lifetimes ago. Something from that time period was left unresolved, and now there is a need to complete at this time. To bring about this completion, you create a contract with that soul from long ago. If this other soul is at a younger level, the contract can only be brought into play early in your life as you pass through the soul level where you are in resonance with this other soul. That is why early in your life you often activate contracts with souls from past lives with whom you are completing past learning experiences.
This is not true of all those souls who come into your life early on. It is possible to meet up with soulmates (in the broader sense) at an early soul age and pass through levels of soul growth together. When this occurs, it is always in accordance with the purpose and plan set forth for your life before incarnating.
Soulmates and Pre-Ascension Lifetimes
At this time in your world, there are circumstances in place that have not been before. That is why many older souls are incarnating into pre-ascension lifetimes. A pre-ascension lifetime is designed to bring forth remaining levels of karma to be cleared. As we have said in previous discussions, karma is a word used in your world to describe understandings a soul is seeking to gain. A soul completes tens of thousands of understandings on the path to ascension.
Many older souls incarnated at this time are very close to completing their spiritual understandings. An older soul attempting to complete understandings may experience many different "sagas" throughout their life. While there are always deeper core understandings the soul is working on, there are other understandings being wrapped up -- understandings they began working toward at other points within their arc of lifetimes. There may be dozens of scenarios brought into completion within a pre-ascension lifetime. This is generally a life of constant change and numerous timeline shifts.
During a pre-ascension lifetime, the person will likely attempt to work through their densest karma early in life. As the spirit moves toward ascension, it is drawn to clear out old karma from past lives. During those times, they may connect with those souls with which they incarnated early on in their arc of lifetimes to bring about healing and closure.
To accelerate this clearing, a soul may choose to create contracts with souls who were present when the karma was created. These souls can assist with the clearing. As we have said, the advanced soul must arrange for these encounters to occur early in their life when they have sufficient resonance with the other souls involved. This is in accordance with the Law of Attraction.
We will point out here that the need for healing is not with these other souls. These souls create soul contracts with you in which they agree to reflect to you aspects of your self in need of healing, and vice versa. In this way, when a soul shows up in your life and triggers inner turmoil, it is to help you recognize and heal old wounds carried forth across lifetimes.
It is for the reasons we have just described that souls in pre-ascension lifetimes are unlikely to enter into advanced soulmate contracts until later in life. When a person has cleared their densest past-life scenarios and come into their true soul age, they are ready to enter a time when advanced soulmate contracts can be activated. Advanced soulmate contracts are created between older souls who share a deep affinity and resonance. It is at this later stage of life when connecting with this type of soulmate is most beneficial. Together you are able to access high-vibrational portals that direct your consciousness toward ascension.
By entering the Portal of Soulmate Contracts, you are able to gain awareness of the true meaning and purpose of the special connections you have experienced with other souls across time. These contracts are created to help the souls who enter into them gain the spiritual understandings that are part of their curriculum in Earth school. During this time in the Earth’s evolution, many older souls are creating contracts that help them clear and heal their “selves” throughout their arc of lifetimes. This healing opens the door for loving soulmate connections to bring in them into the ascension phase of their journeys on Earth.
There is a great thread of yearning in human consciousness now to search out new beginnings and bring about a renewal that will carry through the year ahead. The beginning of a new year marks the birthing of new energetic possibilities. This awakens the greening of new growth that symbolizes hope within the heart.
The renewal so many seek at the beginning of each new year has at its root a desire for renewal that extends well beyond receiving a spa treatment, improving one's diet, undergoing a fast or beginning a new regimen of physical exercise. All these steps have the possibility of bringing you closer to the recognition of your deepest longing, but they are just stepping stones along the path to self-realization. At a deeper level, this hope seeks to transcend limitations and to realize one's true nature. It is transcendence that allows the spirit to fly free of the shackles of illusion that holds so many in servitude on the physical plane.
With each year that passes, there is either a moving toward the realization of the deepest longing of the soul, or a moving away from it. Those who have taken their meaning solely from the outer world will begin to notice a hollow feeling. Over time, this empty space expands into a void. This is often experienced as the dry rattle of a lonely wind howling across a great barren expanse. This is the sensation of spiritual poverty as life force recedes from the life and physical body.
Life force energy arrives proportionate to the amount that is needed. Those who put a great effort toward discovering their spiritual mission and carry it out in whatever means available receive the life force energy needed to do this. Within the moment, they receive a great pulsing of life force energy. By contrast, those who retreat into illusion, seeking only the comfort of distraction and entertainment, suffer a stagnancy that shuts down the flow of life force energy over time.
You may consider how much life force energy is required to start a new healing center and assist many beings to health and well-being compared to how much life force is used to play a video game or eat a plate of cookies. There is nothing wrong with the latter unless it takes the place of fulfilling one's purpose in life. What we are talking about here is allowing an external pleasure- seeking impulse to become the guiding desire of one's life.
When one's life force energy is shut down or stagnant for long periods of time, the physical body starts to "amp down," and the spirit begins to withdraw from the life. At the physical level, you can measure life force in terms of the oxygenation of cells. A lack of oxygen most always results in physical disease. This is the physical explanation for disease that reflects the spiritual withdrawal of life force energy from the body.
The good news is that regardless of how far you have traveled off course, regardless of the current state of your physical being, you can choose to enter into the Portal of Personal Renewal and begin turning this energy around. We are offering you today 12 steps to creating true personal renewal in your life. One need not wait until the beginning of the new year to undertake this journey of renewal. You can choose to step into this Portal of Renewal any time and any place. In fact, every day, every hour, every moment can, with the alignment of intention, will, purpose, and soul desire, become a Portal of Personal Renewal, moving you further along the path of your deepest longing.
12 steps to creating personal renewal:
1) Identify your life purpose and ask your guides to reveal to you the steps to fulfilling this purpose. If you don't know yet what your life purpose is, begin reading the energy of your entire life to look for clues. Write your autobiography and examine the energy and essence of all the major milestones. Everything that has ever been created in your life has been designed to carry you further into the realization of this purpose. Make lists of your strengths and weaknesses, the things you love, your talents, and your deepest desires. These are further clues to the nature of your life purpose.
2) Set aside time each day for silence and meditation.
3) Learn to still your mind by practicing concentration skills. Concentrating the attention on a candle flame for 10 minutes each day while releasing all thoughts will help still and focus the mind.
4) Eat a diet that consists of primarily live foods.
5) Fast periodically to clean and detox the body and help release your self from over involvement in the physical world.
6) Develop your intuition. Recording and interpreting your dreams each day is a good way to begin developing intuition. Also, make a practice of listening to the still, small voice within you and observe how the information it offers assists you throughout your day.
7) Create a list of the 10 things you most dearly desire to create and ask your guides to show you steps you can take to begin creating these desires now. Look to see how each item on your Ten Most Wanted list is aligned with your life purpose.
8) Have a goal, purpose, and activity for everything you do.
9) Engage in some sort of physical activity each day. It is especially beneficial to incorporate physical activity such as yoga that unifies mind body and spirit.
10) Make time each day for creative play. Write in a journal, paint, take a long walk in nature. Do what gives you joy.
11) Find some way to share your gifts and talents with others.
12) Clean out closets, drawers, your house and everywhere unused items accumulate. Release everything that you no longer need. This includes old feelings you may be holding onto. Practice gratitude and forgiveness and release the past so you may step more fully into the present moment.
Today we will describe some abilities that have become lost from many in the vast sea of their life journeys. As an infinite, divine being, you possess many qualities you attribute to the realm of angelic beings. You may have forgotten how to fully engage your wings, but they exist nevertheless within your energetic field. The body resides within the soul. While on Earth you may perceive the body as the container for the soul, the reverse is true.
To understand the true nature of angelic presence, we direct your focus toward those artistic depictions of angelic beings. You see the being surrounded by what appears to be wings. This is one way in which a high-vibrational being appears to those on the physical plane. When the human energy field is fully expanded with cosmic energy, it takes on an angelic appearance. This comes into play when all the subtle bodies of the physical system are aligned, allowing the flow of cosmic energy to expand. This allows the "angelic wings" to unfold. The subtle bodies are the angelic wings that are sometimes seen by people.
So who are these humans who are able to take in cosmic energy and expand the flow throughout their physical system? They are spiritually awake beings who remember their divinity and have released the limitations and veils that shackle sleeping consciousness.
You Are Your Own Angels
As you spiritually awaken, your attention is guided toward those actions you can take to further enlighten your existence. For the spiritually aware, such actions are undertaken not just for the sake of the self, but for the sake of all others. Understand, when one being awakens to its true nature, the entire universe celebrates. The awakening of one soul creates an energetic pathway many others may pass through. The energetic code for awakening enters the collective consciousness and is accessed through vibratory resonance via the Law of Attraction.
The spiritually awakened being has a direct telepathic connection with their higher self that brings much guidance and information on how they can go about freeing their spirit. They may be guided to change their diet, to take steps to fulfill their life purpose and to assist others. Early on, the awakened being is guided to travel in consciousness. In these early travels, they are directed toward those points in the history of their own consciousness where they can bring healing and release. As a being heals themselves across time, they become a brighter light for others.
We will stretch your beliefs for a second to explain how at a future point in your "arc of lifetimes," you have achieved ascension consciousness. To the extent that you are in resonance with this "ascension self," you are able to receive guidance and assistance from this aspect of your self. This is one way in which what you perceive as angels are aspects of your own consciousness traveling to time and space to assist you. As you become increasingly familiar with your inner landscape, it becomes easier to identify these vibratory fields.
The Journey of Angelic Intervention
To travel back in consciousness, you will need to bring your vibration to a certain resonance. There are different means by which you may attain this resonance. You may enter into a deep meditation through the breath, through self-hypnosis, relaxation, or other means. When both sides of the brain are synchronized, you experience the mind pattern that creates the resonance to enter the realm of the subconscious where your spirit resides. As you enter this realm, you encounter the "gate keeper" of your emotions. If there are any destructive or troubled emotions you need to clear, you will be guided to undertake clearing at this time. As destructive emotional energies are released, you are able to pass unimpeded through the gates of your emotions into the realm of spirit. In this realm, you are able to travel at will to the past or future, or to parallel realities within your present moment.
As you enter the realm of spirit, your conscious mind fades to the background. Your imagination appears to you in the form of a spirit guide that directs you to the location in time that needs healing and release. You undertake this journey surrounded in a golden light. Inside this light, you receive a great surge of cosmic energy that activates and expands your subtle energy centers. As your consciousness expands, you experience a tremendous sense of love and well-being. When you arrive at the point in time that needs healing, your guide will signal it is time to begin. The moment will unfold like a dream.
You will arrive at the location of your self in this timeframe. This may be a past self from your present life, or a past life self that exists in another timeframe dimension. Wherever this self exists, know it is working on a spiritual understanding you are seeking to complete in your present moment. It is this common purpose that brings you into resonance with this self.
Remember as you approach this self that you will appear as a high-vibrational presence. The form this presence takes will depend on the belief system of the self you're assisting. You may appear as a spirit guide, an angel, as Buddha, or any number of other beings. You may not appear in form at all - you may just be a voice that speaks in consciousness.
You have a telepathic communication with this past self, so you can reassure the self that you are here to help. This self is calmed by your presence. Let this self know you are here to help with the situation it is working with. Ask this self if it is ready to release the situation. If it says yes, you are ready to begin the release process. If this self is uncertain, you can communicate with it further to find out what concerns it has.
When the self is ready to release the situation, you can begin to merge your consciousness. Within this space, you will experience the deep core of emotional energy this self holds around the circumstance that needs healing and release. You will recognize echoes of these feelings within your present moment.
As you merge your consciousness with this past self, you are united with your higher self, which holds the understanding you are seeking to complete. Your past self is able to access this understanding of your higher self through you. Your consciousness serves as a bridge. The bright light of your higher self carries you and your past self into a place of love. In this high and loving vibration, past, present and future are healed. Once the healing is complete, thank your past self for its willingness to assist you in this release. Let your past self know it can always call upon you for assistance.
Now, begin returning to your own consciousness in the present moment. As you return fully, you experience an emotional shift. The experience of traveling back in time to release and heal your past life has the effect of lightening your present emotional state and freeing a part of your spirit that was trapped in the past. This part of your spirit is now able to join you in the present. In this way, you are able to become more present with less of your attention drawn to the past.
As you heal and release aspects of your self throughout time, you become a very bright light in the universe. That is because you are no longer a scattered star whose light is fractured throughout time. Through healing and release, you become one unified, brilliant light capable of guiding and assisting others making their way across the darkened path. When you reach this phase, you will find your self called upon to assist others in consciousness. Next week we will discuss this next phase within the Portal of Angelic Intervention.
In the course of your spiritual journey, you reach a time when you come into a new awareness that is able to perceive all the points on the map of your own consciousness that need healing and release. This new awareness recognizes learning opportunities as they arrive in the present moment and is connected at all times with the higher perspective of each event.
As this awareness grows, it is drawn to those moments in the history of your Earthly journeys when energetic aspects of your self are trapped and held in time. As your new awareness travels through time to release this energy, you receive a great surge of energy in your present moment. As these past moments in time are released, your focus and attention ceases to scatter. You may not be consciously aware of past aspects trapped in time, but on some level you hear them calling to you and respond by creating scenarios in your present moment to attempt to bring about their release. These subconscious attempts may create a bit more insight into trapped emotional energy, but they rarely result in complete healing without the aid of conscious awareness.
When your awareness becomes able to assist in this healing, you will find many spiritual understandings suddenly falling into place. As understandings you have been seeking to gain across time are completed, you're now ready to begin the next phase of your journey as a soul incarnated on Earth. That is, you are now ready to undertake journeys of angelic intervention to assist other souls in need of healing and assistance.
The Journey of Angelic Intervention to Assist Others
There will come a time in your spiritual journey when you begin traveling in your nightly dreams to assist others in consciousness. At first, these journeys may be assisting a disincarnated soul that has lost its way. Or it may be traveling to assist an incarnated being who is asking for guidance and assistance. It may even be a friend who is in need of help.
You may recall from a past discussion that the human energy field, when fully expanded with cosmic energy, appears to unfold "angelic wings." So it is that you may appear as an angelic being to those you are assisting. The form your presence takes depends on the belief system of those you are assisting.
Your ability to remember nightly celestial journeys is determined by your degree of lucidity. In other words, if you are able to clearly remember your dreams, you will remember parts of your nightly journeys to assist others. Practice in remembering and understanding the symbols of your dreams will help you tune into the events of nightly journeys.
Angelic Presence and Healing
You may ask how it is you are able to assist other souls in consciousness. It is in much the same way that you assisted aspects of your self in consciousness. We are aware that many lightworkers still have difficulty perceiving themselves as a high-vibrational presence, and we will address that here. It is this difficulty to believe in oneself that dims the light of many gifted souls.
Each being is incarnate with the full spectrum of energetic capabilities. That is to say, each of you from the outset contains a field of potentiality that is identical to that of any other. The shape of your existence from the beginning is chosen by your soul according to the understandings you came here to create this time around. It is always within your ability to fully awaken at any point along your journey and choose to activate different potentialities.
Those who have chosen to work through the intention of assisting other souls in their awakening process have effectively chosen to activate high-vibrational aspects within their energetic field. In order to align with these aspects and use them for the higher good of all, you must be willing to identify them as your own. In other words, to accept your self and experience your self as the high-vibrational being that you are.
Journeys to Assist Mass Numbers of Souls
There are times on the Earth when great numbers of souls are passing over to other realms. This might be the site of a natural disaster such as an earthquake or hurricane, or it might be the site of a "man-made" disaster, such as the event you term "911."
To help you understand this form of angelic intervention, we will describe how many volunteer souls arrived on the astral plane to assist those newly leaving the Earth after 911. A call was sent out far and wide for angelic assistance to aid the souls crossing over. This call went out well in advance of the actual event. Understand when you journey to assist others, it can be in past or future timeframes, as well as your present timeframe. With 911, it was important for lightworkers to journey from a time before the event. After 911 occurred, a dark cloud spread throughout the human collective consciousness that temporarily dimmed the light of many high vibrational souls as their heart struggled to find love around this occurrence. For this reason, it was important for light beings to arrive "on the scene" not knowing what they were viewing.
The souls they assisted arrived with visions of what they had experienced very much intact. Thanks to the efforts of many volunteer souls, they were quickly brought into reunion with their higher self and remembered their soul contract to participate in this important event on the world’s stage. Their souls were able to take quantum steps on their journey of becoming as a result of this contract.
In time, advanced souls recall their journeys to assist others at the site of such world events. Beyond this, they begin to undertake journeys in their waking consciousness. Relatively few souls reach this phase of waking journeys.
IEach time you journey to assist aspects of yourself in time, or other souls in need of assistance, you deepen your experience and understanding of angelic aspects of yourself. Over time you carry angelic energy more and more into your daily life, greatly transforming the vibration of your present existence to one of joyful service and love.
By entering the Portal of Angelic Intervention, you are able to recognize and accept high vibrational aspects of yourself. As you expand your beliefs, you are able to travel in consciousness to assist aspects of yourself trapped in time. As you clear your energy throughout time, you become a brighter light in the universe, able to travel in nightly dreams and waking consciousness to assist other souls in need of guidance and assistance.
