Embrace one another.

June 11, 2018

God sheds a light of love which illuminates each of you on your path. God illuminates the paths of all, those who are experiencing human life, those who have experienced human life, and those who will experience human life. God sheds the light of love, illuminating all that is, all life-forms, all that exists in your universe, and all that exists in all universes. 

That light of God that we speak of, a light of love, is indeed a firm commitment that binds God the creator with the totality of creation. God is an energy just as you are an energy. God’s energy is very different from the human form, and it is different from our form, for God is totally encompassing. God embraces all things. We embrace all that we know, all whom we know, and all life-forms that we know. We cherish the truths that we know. 

The source of those truths is God, and those truths expand, for love expands and light expands. Energy expands and changes. Energy changes itself and also others. Energy is an energy of change. God’s energy is an energy of good, of what is positive. All that you think of as the meaning of love is included in the energy that is God, but that love is only a part of what God is. The good that you know of is only one form of God’s energy. 

The energy of creation is a vibration of sorts, and that vibration causes all else to vibrate sympathetically. In stating this, we mean that God is a positive energy, an energy of good, and therefore all forms of energy that are positive and good vibrate sympathetically with God. 

There is also a negative energy that is part of the creation by God, but it is not a reflection of all that God is. There is a purpose in God’s creation for what you perceive to be negative energy. Its purpose is to provide some clarity about the need for positive energy to be practiced, shared, spread, and multiplied. 

You are most aware of the light when you are in darkness. It is the darkness that helps bring into focus the reason for light, and so although God has created what may be experienced as negative energy, it is not to glorify its presence but rather to glorify the reason for what is good, loving, and supportive. It is the negative energy that can provide you with a stronger commitment to see with the heart. 

We said that when human beings join our form of life, all that remains with us is what is good, loving, and positive, and whatever is negative is left behind. You ask what happens to that negative energy. The negative energy is transformed ultimately into what is positive. The presence of that negative energy becomes a less dominant presence, and the result is that greater commitment to what is good, loving, supportive, and respectful. The energy loses its power to control and cedes that power to one of transformation. The energy that is negative becomes the energy for change. Change to what? Change to all that is godly. What is negative loses its grip of being negative, and it increases its transformative strength. 

As you observed, energy is not created nor destroyed. It is merely transformed. It is that transformation that we speak of when we say the negative energy of human beings is left behind. It is left behind as negative, but it serves as a transition, as a transforming energy, and that is vital. 

Relationships that you experience with others must be transformative relationships, for it is not your goal to transform another to be a kind of clone of you, but rather the transformation is yours to make, and it is that transformation that brings you closer to an understanding of what a godly or God-oriented life can be. It is through that transformation that you become more loving. The fact is that your capability to be loving changes in your lives. At the early stages of human life, you receive the love that you wish to receive, but as you grow spiritually, you begin to give the love that is needed rather than receive it. The transformation does take place, and that change is experienced by all, for no one remains the same from childhood through adulthood. 

Human beings wish to grow. They wish to achieve. They wish to be victorious. They wish to learn. They wish to be inspired. They wish to inspire. They may wish to torment. Regardless of the direction of such transformation, nevertheless change belongs, and it is that transformation of the negative energy that provides much of the fuel to change. 

You can remember events in your past that have led you to respond in different ways to similar challenges. Change is then seen, and you grow and evolve. You are strengthened in your capacity to be loving. 

Each of the collection of guides that surround all of us and all of you—yes, we are surrounded by guides—each of the various forms of spiritual development are embraced by greater forms of God’s love, and those widening circles of love are part of that process of transformation. We serve you, and there are other spiritual entities from whom we learn, and there are other spiritual entities from whom they learn. Growth, transformation, and change are consistent with every level of spiritual growth and spiritual life. 

You wonder about the selection of a chief guide for you and whether that particular guide is permanently connected to your life. It is correct that it is from God that choices are made of connecting guides to specific human beings. That connection is a permanent connection. Whoever is your spirit guide remains. In most instances, that chief guide, the one who speaks to you, nudges you, and gives you a kind of insight, will stay connected with you forever. Sometimes the chief guide will become engaged with other elements of your life, being replaced by a new chief guide, but that is in order to more effectively respond to you through love based on the ways in which your human life has changed. But no guide leaves you. It is only that another accompanies you on the path, and that other becomes a principal voice. You are nonetheless guided. It’s not that at some point a guide loses the ability to be a guide, but rather that a guide’s development, simultaneously to your own, is such that that guide will be asked to be a principal guide, a chief guide, for someone else. 

As you know there is no space, no separation that exists between your guides and you, and equally there is no sense of place or separation between various guides. The guide who is your chief guide remains with you and continues to guide, but in so doing that guide can also be the principal voice that speaks to another at a time when not being your principal voice. You have recognized, from time to time, an apparent change in guides. We see this as an addition. It is not a substitution of guides, for you are always being brought into the Light. You are always being brought into a clearer sense of a loving life. You are not merely passed on to some other guide, but rather a new guide joins the circle of your own journey. Sometimes your guides were part of your birthing family, but most often your chief guide, the principal voice that speaks to you, is drawn from a multitude of guides based on which would be most helpful to your own journey. 

If you are given another human life, you will have a different chief guide, and yet you will be benefitting by the presence of a chief guide from your previous human life. No guide leaves you, but your assembly of spiritual mentors grows, and through that growth you find your own spiritual expansion. 

The life of spirit is a dynamic life whether encased in a human form, so to speak, or existing only on our plane. Nothing stays the same. We grow; you grow. The size of your collection of guides changes according to your needs. All spirits who join us experience being spirit guides. They may or may not be a principal guide, but all spirits are devoted to illuminating the path of other life-forms. 

You are unique as human beings on your particular planet, but you are in no way unique in terms of God’s creation. There are others who have a consciousness that is more aware of God, and there are those other life-forms that are somewhat more limited in their current understanding. The many life-forms with a consciousness about God exist far beyond the universe as you know it to be. God’s creation is the creation of goodness. It is the creation of love. 

We mention frequently that a part of creation that you know to be inanimate is also in its way responsive to what God has created. A stone responds to the air and to light. A stone responds to chemical changes over millions of years. A stone may come from the bottom of the sea or the innermost reaches of your planet, but the stone has a response, and that response is connected directly to God.

Human beings are not the center of all that is but rather an important part of all that is. You experience only one segment at a time of God’s creation, but it is a segment to be cherished and valued for its potential to give. It’s a segment to be valued because of the opportunities of seeing with the heart. Your lives are enhanced by your awareness and full acceptance of that. Your growth, change, and transformation are all part of the positive energy, and it grows, changes, and transforms in large part because of its interaction with what is negative. Acknowledge the importance of darkness because it enhances the beauty of light. 

You are blessed when you see with your heart. 

You are blessed when you encounter all that may seem against that vision. 

You are blessed however you shape your human life, but you are also far greater than that shaping. 

Acknowledge the place of all that you see. 

Acknowledge the place of all that you are aware of. 

Acknowledge the place of God in your life. 

Acknowledge the guides that illuminate your path. 

Acknowledge one another as fellow travelers. 

Embrace one another in prayer. 

Embrace one another in joy. 

Embrace one another with peace. 

Embrace one another with all the love that you know. 

We surround you with all the love of our assembly of guides, and we embrace you with all that is God’s love. 

Amen.
