<![CDATA[<p>The middle of the game is always a stalemate of sorts, but the game is almost over. Why the stalemate? </p>

<p>A connectedness still hovers in the air above your thinking. Now it must be received, for the best sort of connection possible. Some things are never fully inspired until you know they exist "right in your hand". This connection is one of those things. </p>

<p>The spell of disconnectedness, placed upon you from time to time, most certainly has had its day. Nothing but you in your own telepathic state is to be placed from this day forth. A good straight linking to me, to others, and to your own higher state of mind is in order. </p>

<p>Make the best of Time, as it is still to be used for finding your own memories in the dust. And in that dust we shall breath in what we need and leave the rest behind. </p>

<p>A most discriminating purchase is timely enough, but finding the gift within another’s focus is too harsh for some to receive. Yet there are others who, without delay, find your gaze useful. To them, give all you can. To those who have not the desire to know, give the kindness of turning your focus away. An accounting of proof is necessary only for the few without sincere credentials.</p>

<p>Is it so very hard to think yourself to be aligned with your own Self in pure form? The drawing down through a channel of information relative to others is but a metaphor for your knowing that such information is readily available. Seemingly you acquire this information from your guide, but do you? Yes, indeed you do. But it is only one hand holding the other, nothing more. I know the course of things before you do only from the vantage point of time and intention forming to produce outcomes. You know what experiences are matched to those outcomes – for the blind is no longer leading the blind when you turn your eyes to view what comes. </p>

<p>The sincerest way of thinking of another is to offer them solace, privacy, or timely advice. Both the advice and the privacy come at a cost; the cost is the common bond of human communion. Solace will always be granted. It comes through natural connections, and does not impinge upon you at any cost. <br />

<![CDATA[<p>Channel your energy into the <em>force field</em> that brings with it all you know you must have today, whether it is painted already or not.  Then, today, start to paint the picture of your life thus, disregarding the past completely. </p>

<p>This would be a good start: sleeping in your own kind of bed. Nothing is stronger than the <em>presence of comfort</em> to align you with the proper sense of safety.  This is yet to be made available in your world, but it is possible now.  For you have taken the steps to be just as you are: good to yourself again.  Yes, "again" is the right word, for you must take the string left for you and pull it hard and sure, in order to make this bed.</p>

<p>Now if a bed is the metaphor for the safe haven of a lifetime, then what is the metaphor for convenience?  Easy access to your world?  Now build a brand new thought around these two metaphors: bring comfort and ease to the conscious living you now intend to be your way of life.</p>

<p>True convenience is gaining your attention, and you have to be in two places at once!  What would allow you to do this well?  Two places indeed, both inconvenient when you think of them as so far apart. Now make the adjustment in your thought process.  Neither place is out of your convenient painting of life thus: one needs to own an automobile. </p>

<p>Your other need is a consistent thought of connection.  Is this true?  Then take a moment and register your self-made intention to work well to receive both of these manifested gifts.  Each need indirectly affects the other, making your life easier still.  Producing information will align you with the lifestyle you desire.  But now consider the work itself.  Perhaps you need not be concerned about one or the other.  Instead, you need to feel secure about both, as if they are one and the same–a picture painted by your own hand in one realm, and by your own intention in the other. </p>

<p>A sound emanating throughout your entire presence would be the stabilizing factor.  And now you are hearing that sound as if it was always there, but somehow missed, for the sake of nothing at all.  "Excess energy" would describe it only as far as imagination needs to exercise itself in order to find a good outlet. We call this, "exercising your ability".</p>

<p>Confounding events are beginning to rumble around in your head.  This will only make sense as you try out these abilities for size, in this lifetime, already sized for a certain amount of energy flow.  Restrictions must be slowly replaced with controlled flow.  For it matters how you begin and end this lifetime.  The timing is about to show itself as a rather broad-ranged forecast, if you can allow these words to infiltrate your actual thought process. One small singular event is equal to a bigger picture, as you lean into that picture and form it as you would want it to form.  This is focus of a broader kind, so to speak, as if your focus reaches its maximum aperture.  Telling details escape into your conscious thought today, thus marking the day on which you speak without concern for the past restrictions we are trying to dislodge. </p>

<p>One such detail is the beginning of the trial and error period of manifestation.  To gather your wits requires a good grasp on how this <em>manifested energy</em> will portray itself–sometimes very differently than what you would expect.  One good example would be your automobile: is it not already manifested?  But the form, fashion, and color are not what you wanted!  Yet does it not serve the purpose well enough?  Too late now to change the request, for today you already have possession of the auto you requested. Well done!  So make another request, quietly enough for it to appear, and without too much attention to the last one, as if a quick replacement would be found, and easily exchanged.</p>

<p>A wealth of information was just given.  Are you sure this information was well received? </p>

<p>Perhaps this result was intended to make you ask again, for the simple reason of making trial and error your exercise of the day.</p>

<p>One auto is just enough for you to own a good solid way to exercise your strength of climbing into the drivers seat.  But a similar auto would refine the thought and teach you of comfort as well as convenience.  Do you want to learn more before you ask for a better version, only to see yet a better version and then another better yet?  Reasonable is not the lesson!  Better for you is the lesson.  Now concentrate on what you truly want, rather than making the human life’s need into a sacrifice. Separate yourself from anything other than your own need, and be sure nothing else enters the equation again.</p>

<p>Stand prepared to enter the chamber we spoke of once, that space between the spaces of your thought, and manifest just what it is you truly want, rather than what would only minimally suit the intention.  To suit your purpose was the best you could ask for, but better than that is also always available.  Believing it is yours is the first step, so watch how different it feels to think in terms that include the best the world has to offer, without doubting your ability to receive what you want.  Now that would be a claim to fame, for surely it would set you apart from all others attempting to make this information available!</p>

<p>So are you straightened out enough to begin, or do you need more time in the soup?  Give your mind a rest.  Free it from concern for anyone, or from any other way of insinuating yourself into this world.  It matters not what they are expecting–you are your own manifested image.  And as thus, now take control, manifesting as <em>you</em> think, not as anyone else thinks.  Find the formula for your own needs to be met.  Once you have the vision, make it real by advancing it into <em>conscious</em> vision.  Then produce it in your world, as the possible fulfillment of your need, being shown to you right before your eyes.</p>

<p>Ghostly reflection is a better term for your choice in autos.  You already knew it was not precise enough, but suited your imagination with the wherewith-all to take this step into refining your own inner process of making yourself clear.  Again, <em>making yourself clear</em> is that step now in the making.  This is clearly your own thought as well.</p>

<p>Convenience is a straightened-out version of the thought, meaning you know it for its benefit, and choose it for its ease. We have spoken often of ease and comfort, now we use "convenient" as well, for in a world of matter, convenience is a worthwhile effort.</p>

<p>Indeed, it is the plausibility that allows you to hold onto the manifestation of your vision.  When doubt creeps in, you loose your surety that this is what you want, thus <em>loosening your focus</em> to accept or include something else.  Yes, the even the mighty visions are sometimes smaller than what we want.  But the car thought of as plausible in one moment, would not do in the next.  If you had made it so, you would simply have exchanged it swiftly, without harm done to anything at all–for only you are involved.  The repercussions are only illusions, that intrude as others want you to pay attention to <em>their</em> thoughts of what you are doing.  If you pay them no energy, then no price is asked.</p>

<p>A piece of this process surfaces with every new face it presents, and you follow the thought into a refined version.  Thus now you hold another perspective on the task at hand.  So, is your need turning into desire, for a better version of the well-defined essential ingredients that complete the painted picture of your world, revolving in a constant kaleidoscope of needs, wants, and desires?</p>

<p>It takes but the briefest moment to enter the space between the space for a better thought to emerge, and then merge with your thought in process, changing it to better the need, making your want the focal point.  Come to the conclusion right away, and produce this into your world.  Are you ready to have just what you want, in this moment of manifestation, in a lifelong progression of doing thus?  Wait no longer, for waiting is truly a broken record, made for some but not for you.</p>

<p>Look at yourself, in this acquisition, as if you already know it is yours, about to be made available for your receiving energy to hold onto.  Find this <em>in depth</em> by picturing yourself enjoying the make and model, as much as the convenience of the match.  Both are right for this moment, and in position to be made into the stuff of the physical world.  Take the time right now to profess to yourself what it is you will find in the pleasure of owning this auto, rather than how it will be reacted to by anyone other than yourself.</p>

<p>Now make a list, mentally, of the truth you have found in this conversation.<br />

<![CDATA[<p>If you have agreed to perish in a burning house, would you have fear of houses or flames licking your feet?</p>

<p>No, for the fear of death is never of the exact way you will die, but of the unknown. </p>

<p>If you could but know your ending, it would come too soon.  For you would seek it out, if only through fear of the unknown. For this reason no one is told of the precise circumstances.</p>

<p>Sailing through the thunder and lightening of daily events, yes, you wonder about the timing of your return.  In the aftermath of these storms, you find yourself washed up on the shore, waiting for your very next passage - booked and waiting for the vessel to arrive.   It does not take long once in flesh to gather the wits to know you would have been better of never arriving at all.</p>

<p>But if one was to understand beyond the grave what death would befall them, and pleasure could be derived from that knowledge, then it would indeed be a simple acknowledgment of time bringing the moment, as if in a dance step, perfectly executed.</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>Inventing your own life is a creative personal work that requires you to be set free from the distance yet to travel, as well as from the first breath you took.  Find a broken window, and climb through into the world we are now inventing as we speak. </p>

<p>One room is better than the next. Is that true? Can you still recall the dream of being in the very highest place imagined, and finding yourself well received?  Is there room for <em>you</em> in this world of self-made ones, who know how to be strength itself?</p>

<p>Never come into a world of illusion without a purpose, or you roam from place to place, combining one thought with another, and in the mingling of thought come up with confused disaster. But you are one who understands this, if through a clouded window.  Allow the window to clear itself. </p>

<p>Think of this as a double thought: knowing what's on the other side, as well as understanding that there is nothing separating you from that which is right in front of you. </p>

<p>"How" then becomes a question without an answer, so let that be settled once and for all.  The answer is by knowing this is so. If today you invent a thought of how you will earn a daily living, and make it your truthful way of being, it is already appearing as we speak.  </p>

<p>But what will happen if you then wish you had not pieced this thought together? This is the reason for confusion: making a wish and receiving it too soon to know what the wish entailed.  Some things are better left for time's tempering. </p>

<p>Your wish right now is to enter into a new life without struggling for your way of living well. This is a rightful thought with clear intention, but it needs more clarity before we say, "now allow it to happen".  The clarity it needs is held within your own intention. </p>

<p>What have you found thus far in a world with so much conflict? The remedy is always the same: <em>release the struggle, and make another thought out of the difference you find in release</em>. To bring yourself to the point of knowing this is so, you must be confronted with the very struggle you are willing to leave behind.  Thus far fortune has been kind, letting you think and see before you.  </p>

<p>Do the work of releasing your immediate past.  But if this was a slow-moving intention, let yourself engage in a time of fast-paced letting go of all you simply <em>will not have again</em> in your life. </p>

<p>Indulgence is found in every aspect of human conditioning.  It modulates your growth, the rules and regulations you are taught as a child, and the very breath you use to make your world. You refrain, then indulge, refrain, indulge.  It is a rhythm you grow with for the length of your life, some more quickly than others. Some think of themselves as survivors, and thus do just that their entire lives, never understanding there is nothing left to survive but their own thought of survival. </p>

<p>Yes, you know how it works, but are you in the ring with a warrior that is still stuck in the same thought of surviving the next battle? This will never do; you have more important things to make. </p>

<p>A steady, even flow is what is needed. For your future is stilled until you arrive in the position to take up the thread in your hands, and begin to weave yourself a new life. </p>

<p>A simple thought is first: "how am I to work while alive, without it causing me to jumble the illusion once again?" A battle of words only.  </p>

<p>Make the day a plausible display of undertaking your task for the betterment of your position, and walk from there. </p>

<p>"I am right where I must be to engage, yet not to overtax my inner peace." This is first.  </p>

<p>Next we step up the pace: "What will I do to traverse this time/space before me?"  Understand, <em>there is no time/space</em>, and be done with trying to bridge something not there. The only thought needed is for the task at hand, magically causing your attention to be in the present moment. </p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>Seeing the day through the eyes of confusion is but your way to blind yourself, without the need for explanation of the details. To see through the day, and know it is just as it is to be for you to have the details to fathom, would be a much better lesson.  </p>

<p>But you are not to learn a lesson today.  You are to know your own day, just as you arranged it to be, from the vantage point of learning to see through confusion.  For it is confusion that will always lead you home again. </p>

<p>Home is that place of complete comfort, and this is a gift of being alive, when you know you live for a reason ("purpose" is of yet another consideration). </p>

<p>If you glance into the depths of your conscious thoughts, are they always so ordered as to show you reasons enough for your actions? This is a question put to you for the purpose of regenerating your lust for living while you can.  </p>

<p>A bright thought would be one of returning to the adventures of travel for the sake of new beginnings. New beginnings are always good to think about, but this places you in constant motion.  For you are, after all, just as you think you are in total. </p>

<p>Living in one place and being drawn to another is a feeling that sparks movement.  But it need never be the movement of the home, only the body, taking itself on a voyage, so to speak.</p>

<p>You are being beckoned toward a better way of living your truest thought of self. This will not embrace you while you are still in confusion, whether it is a simple case of doubting your ability, or doubting yourself as our personal way of signing our name upon this illusion. </p>

<p>Time holds the key to your being able to join forces with this adventure of a lifetime.  But time is nothing we will you to obey. If this be truth, then we must consider the outcome, and move directly toward that outcome, firmly seated within the trust we have in your ability, while you in turn trust our hand at work. Is this a good purpose, to leave behind any thought of taking control of the living?  </p>

<p>The living may seem to be a temporal illusion when you are still in the physical part of the mind, but the truth of existence is still the same: you are your own One in every detail spread out before you now.  The details of your life display you with this mask of allegiance to life placed upon your attention.  Would you untie the mask, and lift it off, for any reason but to be free of the fettered life of playing a role you are no longer in need of playing?<br />
 <br />
This is today a coming to the bar for the trial of your past, and leaving it behind, for you have nothing to defend.  For all is just perfectly matched to your own perfect life within illusion, as you stay in tune with your own chosen role. </p>

<p>To release the role for a greater knowledge of your own, look for the sign that you are leaving the trial behind, to be found when you would like to look through it again, but not in this lifetime left to live through. </p>

<p>There is nothing you must continue, for your life is a said-and-well-defined life, with a continuing unfurling of the choices you make as you travel. Again, the traveling through life, or the traveling through experience: which makes you live a better way?</p>

<p>In the time it takes for you to gain enough interest in finding your perfect home upon this planet you will have it already in your possession, without even understanding the variables held within that choice, for it is being made as we speak.  </p>

<p>You are dreaming of a home where you are welcomed, and where all are welcomed, when you so choose to allow them entry. This is a firm thought, but better yet is this thought of how you shall live within that home. </p>

<p>To think of more than one home is well intended, for yes, you do need this form to take place in your world, but you are inconsistent in that thought, for you waver on its certainty. To chose between one or the other must now be addressed and finally put to rest. </p>

<p>You have the ability to make for yourself a better life. It is a choice already made, but you have the constant feeling you have not yet run the gauntlet that you must run, in order to receive this as yours by right. It has been formed, and it is about to come into your world.  But "from where and when?" is still not only a mystery, it is a constant concern. And you falter in your resolve to trust, as we speak of commitment, and of laying aside your need. </p>

<p>This will seemingly remain, until you have that grip upon our teaching you still see as missing in your ability. Now waver no longer, for you have settled that information into your mind.  Only now do you have that ability under your so-called control. </p>

<p>It is not ever possible to control your life in this time of being alive, for all has been said and done, all choices are made, and you have work to do. </p>

<p>To falter now would be only in your own mind. Sensing this would leave you without the scheming thought of how to gain all you want while alive.  And in that, would you drown in beliefs merging into the tale of a bedeviled one, always without purpose?</p>

<p>Stretching your beliefs would cause you not to gain access to our truth, any more than pretending you believe our words does. This is a moment of truthful accounting. Yes, you know we speak the truth, but  you doubt we are ever to make your world according to our description. </p>

<p>Find a single thought you are willing to allow, as being given into your world. This christens our work as well done - if you do hear our words throughout your lifetime as having done the work intended. </p>

<p>Intention was a strong leader in the way all did arrive into your world, while you tried to untangle yourself from all attachments. This was a firm intention misunderstood, from the first thought to the last.  This is the last thought. </p>

<p>Now begin to know yourself again as one who is without blame.  For blame was firmly established - allowed to settle, and do its work.</p>

<p>For now we start without the notion of concern for the past. </p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>Here we stand: ready, willing, and awful in the impatience we signal out into the universe. This is the answer to your question of torture.<br />
 <br />
Are you holding yourself in the ready position, waiting for that which you will always think of as foreign to your own state of being?</p>

<p>"Self-denial will torture your soul, never your body" is a misconstrued notion. Your body reflects every innuendo of the state of the soul. A gleaming reflection will blind others, but who holds onto a gleaming reflection while enmeshed in life?   The soul's purpose is to make its way through the mesh, and emerge all the better for the struggle to free itself from the bondage life requires. </p>

<p>Bondage is torture for the soul in flight, and the soul starts it's journey in the chains of human bondage. Immersed in time, we all can only voice our discontent through the words available to us, or the picture we print upon our faces, upon our bodies, and upon the images others are receiving of our state of being. This is the signature we are imprinting upon our life.  And it is constantly being reflected and answered, for it will be maintained throughout this lifetime just as we are expressing. </p>

<p>So once again we return to the most asked question of the day: how is it I want this or that, but never seem to be able to receive it when I want it?</p>]]>

Your choice to bring yourself to this place to receive was a gift from your guide.  Bringing yourself the rest of the way will begin to feel as if you are working towards a goal.  And it is you doing all, yet not all, of the work. This will come to be a central thought.  </p>

<p>Thoughts are all bound together as if tied into a central theme. This works wonders for your focus, so listen carefully now. </p>

<p>If one thought begins to be a burdensome rendition of the same old theme, it means you have used up what you needed, and are now out of sync with its energy flow. </p>

<p>This alone is a sign. But this sign is seldom thought of as a passing signal.  It is always thought of as a place to sit and ponder the trials and tribulations of the events, that lead you right into place to move forward, and out of the thought you are experiencing. </p>

<p>But be aware of the trip from one thought to the next being too soon, or too late.  Of course there is no such moment as too soon or too late, but yes, there is a simple trip from one to the next.  </p>

<p>And it is a vision that will lead you from one place, so to speak, to the other. </p>

<p>We use this anology of a trip to bring you a vision. Seeing is a powerful way to align with the next thought you will encounter while alive. As we said, all thoughts are centered on or around One, and how you find that One is the message coming from your intuition.  Passing thoughts are always moving through your mind, but one thought will enter and stay for too long, and move out only when you are sure you have all necessary information. </p>

<p>One such thought in your mind is for the welfare of another.  But you know nothing of the peril you seem to sense, and so pass it off in thought as your own need for knowing more than you do.  This is a true intuition, but you have no need to fear, for this one’s energy level is high enough to safeguard the moment. <br />
     <br />
Other thoughts are deeper seated, and these are thoughts that are being called up for a closer look. Whether they are good for you or not, you are asking for them to be a closer experience than thinking about them in mind or imagination or in fantasy. </p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>"Time is of the essence" is only for those with a timely agenda.  Our world, and the one you inhabit, are not now furnished with time as a steady way to measure. </p>

<p>In essence, we are both looking through to the end of time, as if you know it for the linear thought-frame of your whole life, already sung and understood well. This would bring you closer to your own timing of the events you are thinking of already, to make and live through.</p>

<p>Yes, to know they come quickens the energy flow to them. </p>

<p>We speak of events as single thoughts, but an event is the culmination of a round of experiences, all placed in one basket in order to be meaningful to you, as a whole picture of emotional response.  To know what comes leaves you without that proper response.  And it is that response that leads you to know it for what it offers.  </p>

<p>And this is the only way to live through a thought formed for just that reason. There are no surprises, in truth, but you deceive yourself just enough to believe you had no idea of what was coming. This is now how we inscribe your thoughts with a signature all your own, meaning you will know what is coming in enough time to respond in a very sure emotional way, without ever coming to believe you have been overcome by something you did not expect. <br />
     <br />
"Knowing" is a sure way of listing your need for one more piece of the pie of response. If you make a list of all the things you are looking for in your life, it will bring with it the emotional "tag" you shall place upon it. Better if you think of your wants as if all they represent is already in your life, awaiting your discovery. This may include the home you are always looking for (the permanent one, and the rest that will call to you when you need to be in yet another location), the personal relationship we offer, the personal relationship offered by your partner, and your own thoughts in form and fashion leading you out into the world.<br />
 <br />
All things, brought to the surface over and over again, are possible, but without the conditions you place upon your receiving of them. Looking into the mirror would help you to understand the call is coming from you and you alone, no one else holds the same picture. You have made the picture yourself in thoughtform, and to ask for it to be delivered would place you alone in the seat to receive.</p>

<p>We are all connected in Mind, but that Mind is held at an unconscious level - it gives no information out unless asked for.  And most never ask, thinking it is an impossible feat to read the thoughts of another.    </p>

<p>Those who ask believe they are pretending the answer, and those who know they do receive information through the mind held in common are never the ones seeking information about another’s notions, for they are themselves in the flow of their own. This allows every one to live according to the plan they themselves brought into this focused image of living alone with the shell of human form. </p>

<p>Your dream is for you to have a home and to share it with others who have the same notion, of being in the same place and living in a similar fashion.  Is that correct?  Those others are not yet ready to understand the making of a dream as you do. You have the power in your hand to align with your own sense of this dream, and you know it is coming as we speak.  But why do you keep placing yourself in the way of its arrival by asking for this in unison with those who have nothing of this thought, as of yet?<br />
 <br />
You are thinking though your own needs right now, not the needs of others. This is good, but when you take a deeper look at these thoughts, each one holds another comfort in the balance, does it not?  It must be so. </p>

<p>Intention is a fine ingredient to add to your picture, and it is a wonderful color to use.  Keeping yourself in the picture is what we ask of you right now. </p>

<p>Gaining this information, of how to picture yourself as the main ingredient, was always in the back of your thoughts.  But you have not yet been ready to own these thoughts yourself, as this: </p>

<blockquote>I am the one who knows this is my choice. It has always been for the sake of this or that, and now we end that play completely.</blockquote>

<p>Once you manage to complete your own list of needed and painted-to-perfection wanted experiences, you will be ready to move right on to the play already in progress, for it started the instant you looked for it in your mind. This picture now must be perfected with the help of your own delivery into thoughtform, made and ready to be given. Start with this answer to your prayer to have all you need right now: </p>

<blockquote> I am willing to be spared the rest of your bounty of forgiveness of past obligations, for I know the truth of returning to myself.  Now I will to begin again, clean and fresh and ready for thoughts not yet imagined.</blockquote>

<p>Forgetting the past is rightly spoken, but you have not yet understood the purpose of forgetting as being the way into the next level of wisdom. All must be retained, of course, in the deeper regions . . .</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>In the time of now, we enter your mind with a force not yet experienced, and you will agree this is finally how you experienced your awakening, and recall how it was, and be in that state of consciousness once more. </p>

<p>When we call you to awaken, it will never be inconvenient or under conditions that are impossible to personally adjust, for we know you well. In a manner of speaking, you will always be ready when called. In the hours that we are silent (though you are always being guided), you will know the world as a magical place indeed, for all manor of incredible resource will begin to show itself to you. <br />
     <br />
In the grand scheme of all that happened, you were stilled in [this thought], but it had to enter your mind in order to be released and left for all time. Never think any thought of such emotional content will ever leave without a sendoff. All thought must have its day, or better yet, its moment to move through you and out, in the ethers. </p>

<p>In yet another vein, did we ever say to you that you are well versed in the ceremonial duties of the oracle? Indeed you have been to many a worshipful ceremony, your pipe or your mask always in place.  For you did act on behalf of the ones who left, not for the ones left behind. This is a subject we would speak of in a moment when you are in need of comfort, but for now, witness the remembered facts of your station. </p>

<p>This is a fine moment to let go of your past duties and take up a new station with a finer quality of duty. We stand to guide you forward right past memory into your current station, and in this act you now will render all duties of ceremony, when called upon to do so. To ask for guidance is a good intention, but to know you are always guided is all you will ever need to be correct in your choices. <br />
     <br />
Your long-suffering intuition brightens when asked for your opinion, but seldom is it asked for your truest insight. This is about to blow a hole in your thought process, as if you see through to the Source of the personal part being played out of context. But truth is never what it seems to be. </p>

<p>"Truth is ever changing" is one way to think of how humans are always seeking and finding truth as they must. But truth is, as well, a stationary concept that calls you to task, so to speak, for to seek truth you must rely upon your intuition as well as your senses.  </p>

<p>Your intuition holds only the shards of broken elements when used for accidental interpretation.  Now be aware of how intuition works while alive.  It is a brand of communication that never wakes you up, but is a constant source of gathered information coming from within your center of Self or Soul (which word you use matters not).</p>

<p>Your personal intuition would be thought of as the way you walk around an accident waiting to happen, thus changing your path from ill fortune into a good day for a lucky Game of Chance. This is a beginners game. For yes, when you imagine yourself a lucky one, you are indeed a lucky one. </p>

<p>A deeper intuition is the day you know an accident is in the air, and you receive enough information to avert that accident, and let yourself breathe a sigh of relief and know there is no such thing as an accident. </p>

<p>Deeper still is the tumultuous emotion of sensing the accident, knowing it is evident, and deciding you will not be hurt in this moment, and descending into your Center to abate this with understanding.  For if you know the correct response, there is no need for the event to take place! </p>

<p>In this case you are using your intuition well and wisely. Once the emotional response is signaled through your inner information, you know it is coming from a different level of sensing than your human senses, and with your power of Self, turn the tide. Not all truth is evident in the first instant you lay eyes upon another, but it is evident if you will allow your deeper intuition to do the work for you. The single point of reference each one alive holds onto, in order to remain alive, is that Point we speak of intuiting.</p>

<p>For now, engage your intuition until it is a finely tuned mechanism walking before you in every situation you enter.  </p>

<p>Sympathy is called for when you use this finely tuned intuition. Many have not the ability to face themselves in Thought, and shall require a sensitive voice. Tuning this voice is better if you are aware of the duty you now must accept as part of your life in the world of wonder. </p>

<p>Making sense of the world has been a hard fact in your mind, but it is as we are telling you - fluid, and always in process.  So make nothing of the changing tides; this is how all futures are made within the fluid ever-changing mind. To speak of the past as "how it always once was done" is a blunder of the human part of the mind, seeking continuation. </p>

<p>Truth is thus: all life is in constant motion, and is in constant flux or change, as the case must be stated. To contemplate life as if it is a formed and ever constant fixed nature will always lead you into the darkest thought of all: "what power is this that has made a world of such degree of madness?"</p>

<p>Facts do not speak for your world, and in an instant you come to the conclusion needed to move past the day-to-day witnessing of experience into the knowing of experience as all the focus you yourself have chosen to pass through. To know this is to no longer pass through life blinded by the experience, but as the witness.  You may still need to feel the emotion of the experience. This "emotion" is a rather figurative word, for it is the energy of the understanding mind being used to fuel the witness into being present, and the inviting of the experience. </p>

<p>If you are intuitive in a truthful manner, there is never a need for experiences of a distasteful nature to beckon to you again.  In time you will know this as surely as you know your own name.  </p>

<p>Is it possible you do know your own name?  Make this a day of returning to your own inner Name - a work of many well-lived lives all singing for your attention. </p>

<p>Why would you see only the song of the defeated, when you know the song of the victorious is the stronger of the two? Asking for penance will bring you penance, but there is nothing you need of penance once you recall the Truth of existence.  </p>

<p>Now move into this picture of Self:</p>

<blockquote>

<p>I am being in my Mind <br />
The One <br />
I know well, <br />
and find the accurate Name <br />
to use.  </p>

<p>It is as always my Name <br />
coming from my deepest region<br />
of my own Mind.</p>

<p>And it is Truth <br />
unfettered by blame. </p>

<p>Without the burden of the past, <br />
my willingness and ability <br />
will falter not one more step,<br />
for I am myself <br />
a stronger one for its passing. </p>

<p>In this I am sure, <br />
and in this I am made again <br />
myself in all aspects of mind.  </p>

<p>And time will be my judge no longer, <br />
for I stand before no judge <br />
that is not this version of myself<br />
in flight again. </p>

<p>Weary of the past, I Am <br />
in flight again.<br />
</blockquote></p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>Now that we have your attention, begin to listen for your own thoughts to fade away and finally give you room for these thoughts we plant today.</p>

<p>In the days forming in your physical world, there will be a signature of completing yet another level of understanding: one that was thought of, but not accurately found until now. This is a good day to start to look for the signs of these events coming.  One small sign is this, the answer to one of your prayers: a better place to live. </p>

<p>Finding your home has been both hardly thought of as home, and better to learn about than you yet understand. This home will wilt your need to move again until your true home is found and given to you by that power of thought. It is yet to be known as your home, but yes, you are about to see the language of your mind played out in your world. </p>

<p>Now a brighter thought is in the making, it is the thought of home always being where you are, and this is a working model of how life in the physical truly is. Your body may move from time to time, but your mind holds onto one or more places where comfort is established and is never lost. </p>

<p>Again, your home is about to come to the surface of thought, to be brought to thoughts being used to outline your life. "Outline" is a word that will be used now from time to time, for it is the pattern you sketched, and are continuously remaking while you are alive. </p>

<p>To outline your world as if it is growing, and must have a wider frame of reference, would be to ask for more to fill your world. This was not told to you, for you did have nothing more important than to empty your world of old debris. To widen your boundaries would bring to you that which you have been conceiving as not possible, but still thought of as what you want to own again. </p>

<p>This exercise is a living experience. It cannot be taught from words alone, for you must know what you have, and what you truly missed in the making. You did the work of losing your excess, but only too well do you know the cost of loss is always a sense of having nothing you once thought of as possible. This sense is building in your mind, and must be addressed before it comes to be the burden you express. To examine your wants, for example, will do nothing to learn about how to receive what you are asking for, because it is not "how", but just "when" that is brimming with emotion. </p>

<p>Stagnation is a powerfully felt state of emotional need. You think of yourself as rather going nowhere, and so that is just what you profess and receive. This will begin to show itself on everyone’s face, or it will be the opposite, and this is a sign to start your own engine again.  In the time it takes to break away from stagnation, your whole world will fill with anticipation.  And this is the feeling sense we are asking you to hold onto, for this is the energy signature we need you to project: anticipation of that which is coming into view. </p>

<p>When you lose this sense, look for it in the adventure all around you.  Although we stand by, you are able to understand the signs, and this is work you must do in order to make your world as you want it to be. Closing one door opens another, but now look and see the doors are all open, and this means all doors are yours, only waiting to be willingly focused upon.  If you focus upon one door, will all others disappear? You know this is so only in the human thought of a single focus being life itself. </p>

<p>Doors are but metaphors for thoughts you allow, or will not, to enter your mind. These thoughts arise from a depth you are not privy to while alive, but still it is your mind doing the thinking. In one form or another, these thoughts will persist until allowed, whether in this life or in another, for these are the thoughts you will live through for the sake of knowing yourself better. </p>

<p>You insist you do not have thoughts such as this; that is a foolish way of blacking out thought of emotional content you will not to arrive just yet.  But this is only a temporary field of rejected thought. It does not disappear, but it does bide its time of life. For you know best when to proceed along these lines of thought, and when to handle them with carefully considered caution. </p>

<p>You have thoughts coming into your mind now that have been held off in that field of "later please" for far too long. These thoughts are not to be feared, for you are safe within your world.  </p>

<p>You have now been given the signal for releasing a wide breadth of doubt in your own ability to live while in a state of abundance, for the thought of abundance means finding yourself willing to rest upon your laurels, so to speak. In time, you would tire of your rest, and search out more adventure, and in doing so leave our realm. </p>

<p>To this end, we ask for enough time in abundance to curb your natural tendency to wander from our realm. But in that abundance, we state clearly that abundance is shown through your own need for our company.  This is a good statement to cherish. </p>

<p>Did you ever think of working in the dark? It is a better way to work than working in a bright light, left on all the time.  For light without darkness can seem to be over-powering in its steady glare. This is how we will advise you when the darkness is needed, for rest is a part of steady growth. No light is constant in truth, but your perception is that light is on or off. </p>

<p>Think now upon the darkness in your world. When night comes, it comes with starlight, moonlight, or a bulb clicked on when needed. This is intensity curbed so growth can be the resting period needed.  If no rest is needed, you have enough light to still find your way. This is how our work shall insist that you sleep, and rest while awake for certain periods of your life. </p>

<p>Sometimes you think we are gone, but this is but the darkness taking you into a resting period. There is always a light left on so you can find your way back into our lighted realm of work, work, work. In some cases we walk through the darkness at your side, for this is a darkness of loss of knowing, and you are never alone when this befalls you.</p>

<p>The center of your world will broaden, and this is happening in your mind already, forming the bridge that is seldom thought of now that you are already in this realm. It is a bridge for others to think upon, for there is a need for this metaphor in the minds of most.  Nothing is ever as simple as calling out and listening for an answering voice, but this seems to most to be a useless endeavor. </p>

<p>You call, and we return your call with a volume of feedback.  But you are seldom in the position to use the amount of information we give. We are ready to be the teachers, while you are not the student, but the simple conduit to bring our words to others in need of refinement of the concepts of life. </p>

<p>Give yourself time again in contemplating Our existence as One who is comprised of many human lifetimes, all well worth the information gleaned, and this will start the mechanism flowing once again. But be aware of the distance settled between your time and some of our lifetimes. This will be a valley you must enter in order to retrieve that source of understanding. </p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>The picture you are now painting will find you while alive, but when?  Is that your question?</p>

<p>It will find you in your own world, as it grows to accommodate the response to your own inner timing of events. Yes, inner timing of events. All events are timed by your inner realm, as this: when you are looking for a certain experience it can be found through many varied circumstances.  You know the right one, and wait until you know how to enter it, before you do. Although it may seem to be sudden, or a surprise, it is always entered into without hesitation on your part. </p>

<p>Timing is usually perfectly used for its effect upon your world, meaning, as if it changes your outlook, or changes your belief, or changes your entire world-view. </p>

<p>This is opening you to thought never before allowed to enter. When you know this is coming, it is never as effective as the great plan unfolding without warning. <br />
     <br />
Right now you know change is in the wind, but are you ready for the circumstances that will be the catalyst of your entry into a new world set to open in your mind?  </p>

<p>You are interested to be in your world made to order, but first you must know it for its value. Will you use this new energy, formed and made into matter, for the benefit of all, for the benefit of yourself, or for the benefit of living well and giving yourself the best thoughts you will allow?  Seldom will anyone include the first thought, that of using energy for the human race, or for the benefit of all.  </p>

<p>To notice is all you are to do.  The rest comes of its own accord. There is nothing to prevent your entry but your need to see before you enter. This is now to end with information we send. Entry will never come to happen, for there is no entry point.  But there is a state of being that is, for you, this moment of right now. </p>

<p>Finding your own needs already met starts the path. To do this is better thought of as the day you awakened and knew you could be yourself, without ordering your world according to other than yourself.  </p>

<p>From this moment forward, tell your story as if fear is never your concern in life.  You are safe, and this safety will always be yours to know, to feel, to sense, or to hold in your hand, as if it is a tangible gift from the universe. </p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>The sky will fall when you try to think about it as being above you, not within your reach.  This is not a simple explanation of physics, but the way all matter comes into your hand. You know we spoke of timing, but you allow yourself to be persuaded that this will always work out the same: nothing in your hand at all.  </p>

<p>Into your mind floated one last remnant of the past. In this dream you sat and complained of the way you were treated, for this is still one of your brightest memories. It burns through all defenses and will burn itself out in your dream state.  You did work out one more detail, yet you were placed within the pain too closely to know it for the last detail you needed. </p>

<p>The pain was self-inflicted, was it not?  Nothing is ever as it seems, and this is no exception to the rule. You have been seemingly pain-free in your daily life. Yet to announce this into your mind made you return to the scene of the infliction for a better understanding.  Yes, it is a pain coming from your deepest region and it was long in the making and it will be long in the healing. </p>

<p>This is the way you as a human process the information we send. First you think of it as true, for it was spoken by your guides. Then you think of it as truth, for you received it from your guides.  Then you look for it in your world.  For humans are all made the same, and think the world is outside of them.  And when it is not found, you think it was false or simply not true. </p>

<p>But please look for what we speak of in your own world.  For it is to you we send these images, and they cannot be found in any place but your own imagination, as it builds them into matter. </p>

<p>Your mind holds all you are to own; whether it is found or not is your choice.  You align your willingness to receive, then let it slip out of your reach with every thought of lack you allow to enter your vision. Vigilance is not your strongest virtue. </p>

<p>Redefine the text of your wanting to succeed, and look for your own life to improve. As long as you live well, you shall always live well. </p>

<p>Here is the question we pose: is it living well in the fashion of the world, or living well in your own sense of well-being? A cup of good companionship is living well.  A bad taste in your mouth from one you care not to attend is living out of your well-being, for it gradually takes away your sense of happiness. </p>

<p>Each one holds an image of what the perfect life would feel like, not look like - but feel like. The sense of well-being is that signature you emit with every breath you take. If it is held as a constant thought, or feeling, you make that life for yourself, in the fashion you know to suit you perfectly. </p>

<p>Yes, you are always keeping yourself above the fray when it comes to this, but you fall prey to the outreaching lifestyles of those who do not have your certainty of material boundaries being malleable to the touch. </p>

<p>To say you will not try to do your best would be a profound error.  To speak as if you have not the power or the energy is equal to that error.  To answer with a statement that aligns you with doubt of your abilities is the same.  And to speak as if you will not be a victim to this madness any more places you within the very same scene you are trying so desperately to leave. This is the right use of the word profound, is it not?</p>

<p>You must do your own version of listening, as all do, but you are well equipped for this in your life, for we are that guidance. If you pay attention, you can be but right where you should be at any given moment. </p>

<p>If you are standing in the middle of a river, look for how it happened that you are there, and not in the middle of purgatories of your own making. </p>

<p>The flow of the river is soothing, and this would be the clue given. The sign would be the distance between you and the thought of blame, or the thought of needing to be blamed.  And the outcome is, you are right in place for the release of all blame of any kind. </p>

<p>You are standing in a very fine home of a design that lends itself to your comfort. It mirrors the debilitation of your inner realm; it is in need of repairs that only you are to make. These repairs are signs that show you the readiness of your mind to make repairs, and to set the stage for the next play about to be enacted. </p>

<p>Your reluctance to engage in the opposition to your readiness is a sign as well, but it is a sign of lessening need for confrontation. This is a beginning. You are right where you must be to start again. </p>

<p>You built this home from the remnants of the past. It is in constant defilement of purpose, because you have not yet registered your claim upon this as your starting point. This is the finding of the material manifestation of your inner realm. Is it all you wanted? Is it all you planned for? Is it the best you can do right now? The answer is right before your eyes of wonder, and that answer is yes. </p>

<p>Finding what you are thinking is always the best proof of your ability to manifest, but you must now confront this as truth: all you have is just what you think yourself to deserve, as well as to own.  How ever much or little you own is a direct quotient to your need for the life you are making as we speak.</p>

<p>That is another part of the pie, so to speak, the part that tells you of your own inability to be your own best insurance. The pie comes divided already into pieces not always equal in intensity or sized according to your liking. </p>

<p>Financial security is one piece you have always been able to trust in, until you turned your attention to it for the purpose of understanding self-worth. Your own need to find worth in your own imagination and manifestation is at risk in this world. All attempts have been thwarted by the outward thrust of your inner guidance, or so it seems. </p>

<p>You know you have a certain power; this you trust. But in its use you are stymied by the present circumstances. You know you have the power to manifest your intentions, but "how" is never addressed in terms you can put to use. </p>

<p>To order your own lifestyle, you must rely upon your own power of manifesting. This is not yet anchored within. You are a masterful personality, but yet you still think your personality will do the work that your true self is pondering. This is trust in its finest hour.  We know you are still confused, but now you are thinking along the right line of sorting through your own needs being represented as loss of financial support. </p>

<p>Loss of support will always be represented in form, whether it is emotional, or as you are visiting, financial. Sometimes it is acute. Better if you stop this process before you are in need of rescue, for it is rescue that thwarts your understanding. </p>

<p>Moving through the stages of loss of support comes from a deep inner value system, set in place by experiences found while alive. This is said to be the repercussions of thunder.  Though distant, it is still to be heard as if it will come when you are not prepared. </p>

<p>This fear of reprisal will keep you set upon a path that will lead you to disbelief of the teaching of timelessness, and of constant support coming from the universal law of demand. </p>

<p>Nothing is ever built from scratch, including your belief system. It is in place for the very same reason you are alive, to muster your thoughts into a coherent train of experiences and events all leading you into understanding. </p>

<p>To single out loss of support, for your trust is still in your deepest region of self, is to look for this concept to be represented within the construct of your daily life. Loss of support once could have revolved around the need to be fed, or the need to be cared for until you died.  </p>

<p>If support comes from outside of your own ability, it is always in danger of being withdrawn. Is this a concept you know oh so well? </p>

<p>It is much deeper than that, and in your life this will be shown first hand, meaning only that you are all ready to understand the concept from the point of view of being the one who loses their only means of support from the outside world, and reaches inward for self-supporting personal power, and knows what to do with it once it is found. </p>

<p>Will you end your life in poverty or in success?  Will you win this victory, or lose yet another battle with your own need for continuous support from outside of yourself? Both questions are worth addressing right now, are they not?  </p>

<p>When you are taught how to walk alone, it is the hand of the parent that holds you upright. This is an analogy seldom thought of as how you learn to be independent in all other ways of being human. </p>

<p>When you first are taught to walk the path of being an independent entity, you are held in place by your always-present guide. This is an analogy of how you come to learn the work of making the world you will yourself into, for it is all-important that you know how to keep yourself in life until the end of the present focus. </p>

<p>If you lose your focus, will you die?  Only in bits and pieces. The rest of the life will turn the corner, and be a simple trip through life, without your truth of expression ever coming to be lived. </p>

<p>This is a common enough occurrence that you may know quite a few who fit this example; young and old have this in common.  Very few are so accurate in this method of manifesting for themselves that what they receive seems to be from God, or at least from the source of a benevolent universe. </p>

<p>The universe is not kind, or concerned for your safety. It manufactures what you express, and in return you use it as if you wanted it just that way.  To ask for a change signals only that your needs are being met, and would like more to be seen as being in <em>need</em> of change.</p>

<p>If life is ruling your world, you are not being judged in any way. If you are ruling your life, you are marking yourself for a place yet to be made of more of the same rule.  </p>

<p>Rather than making your world quite easily, you are fighting with yourself, to do what your personality is finding dislikable enough to want to change.  And thus the wheel will never turn in one direction or another. </p>

<p>It is the wise one who understands the learning process, and abides its lessons for the time it takes to rule nothing but your own mind in constant flow. </p>

<p>Thinking is a process that can be judiciously managed, as if you are the controlling entity after all.  And you do know you are here for the expressed reason you find right before your eyes, but will now better form your lessons, and make them in your way a vision of plenty rather than a vision of lack, if that is your lesson at the moment. Manifestation is a work in process all of your life. You arrange and rearrange your process as you grow and develop without ever noticing you do so. </p>

<p>To be so self-absorbed as to think your way through life seems to carry a stigma of sorts, but this is a stigma you will bear with honor. Thinking brings you energy that is marked by your signature, for use as you see fit. Better yet is this way of inducing thoughts that are yours, for good or for ill.  </p>

<p>Tell a story in your mind, and stick to it for as long as it takes to be produced in your world.  Is it good to own once it comes to be? </p>

<p>As a gift from us to you, listen to this one story you have been telling, thinking it is for your own good: "In my life I have always been given what I want, without concern.  For I know I am entitled to all I need and want in this life, coming from the Source.  That is, for me, to remain alive and well."</p>

<p>"Alive and well" are good words, but they ring in both directions at once. You are being given all you need: it comes now in the form of loss of support.  For this is what you are to master right now, as it was called for in the wording of your story.  "All I want" is as well being sent.  You are living the dream of rebuilding yourself from nothing. </p>

<p>Yes, complicated, until you understand the way you signal for energy to come. In thought, you place a value upon that which you are sure you want - and what you know would do the trick. You think of one as wanted, but the other as needed. This is the basis of contradiction. </p>

<p>To know what you want is to be sure in every detail, without faltering for an instant as you call it into being. This is seldom done without a crisis in progress - for to focus this finely always calls for you to be in crisis - before you are sure of that which could come without crisis of any kind. </p>

<p>You ask for this or that, but are satisfied when an answer comes close:  <br />
<blockquote>It must be right for me.<br />
This is what God sent me.<br />
How else could I get by?<br />
This must be what I deserve right now.</blockquote>  </p>

<p>Many other statements are constantly being heard in our realm. Seldom do we hear anyone speak up and refuse that "kinder" gift of enough. </p>

<p>Most think if they had what they wanted, perhaps they would lose control of themselves.  Or perhaps it would bring them to a point of losing what they already have, and could not do without. This is faulty thinking of course, but it is the safe way to be while unsure of the outcome. It allows the universe to pick and choose for you, does it not? </p>

<p>It does not! The Universal Mind is not human, and it does not equate human emotions with need. It does not equate human wants and desires with good or ill fortune. It is a delivery device, and as such it may chose wisely, if you do agree with what comes.  Or it may seem random at best. Sometimes it is a broken record still playing in your mind, and is forgotten in the time-numbing existence you encounter.  And sometimes it is a swift moving train you just want to get off.  All of these scenarios are universal indeed, are they not?  </p>

<p>"Life is what you make it" comes close to being right.  But who knows enough to be able to give that advice, without instructions about <em>how</em> to make it? </p>

<p>Gaining enough information to give these instructions will be a part of our work.  Better to know this; but do not rely upon our words until you are ready to receive all you are asking for, without confusing your <em>wanted experiences</em> with that which will be called in when what you are <em>in need of knowing</em> comes to be the stuff of your living.</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>Everyone alive is connected to each other in a common thought, or at least a common premise.  </p>

<p>We would rather have you think of yourself as truly one of many, and think of yourself as part of our realm first.  And together with others from many different realms, we have joined to make your world.  This would prove to be a more than accurate summary of your world.  And now is the time you must discover your part in the making. </p>

<p>No one comes to the earth plane for sheer enjoyment unless it is, as we have spoken, for the time thought of as a moment of reentry for the purpose of release. This is a common occurrence, and from our vantage point it will always be an open and closed accounting of a life already lived. </p>

<p>You are accounting right now for the life in progress, although it is not yet over - you will have no need to return again for the single act of release. </p>

<p>In the timing of events, all matters will resolve themselves and be understood completely. Gaining understanding will come as through your own placement of outcome. This is a process as well. When you fathom all events as if it was just so for the outcome, you will rest within that outcome and be blessed with the wisdom that was gained. Picture yourself as one who will always be certain of the outcome being positive, and that will be enough to give you peace of mind in your future undertakings. </p>

<p>Common dreams are always replacing your personal dreams.  This is, as well, part of being human.  The connection everyone holds as to why each one is alive will always shine through, in mind, as life passes you through time. Now, what is your part in the "human drama"?</p>

<p>Sometimes the picture we are included within is not as clear as we suppose it should be. In the mind, we hold a picture of the time when we will finally take our place and thrive.  For one reason or another each person holds onto this feeling of greatness until the end, when true greatness is realized. In time, that picture seems to fade, but in truth, it is only being fulfilled piece by piece. </p>

<p>Greatness is formed through your own inner framework being set into motion while you are alive. Personal greatness is work well done, and precise inner guidance will always align you with your own personal power to achieve greatness. </p>

<p>Life and death are the same, but for the focus of your eyes. Eyes that look outward into illusion are the outward expression of an inner element of creation. This creation is that which knows how to vision thought, so to speak, in either dimension. </p>

<p>Now do be kind to your own inventions, they serve you well.</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>In the days ahead our voice will ring through your own thoughts. This is how it begins to be a single-minded focus. </p>

<p>This was stated indirectly, for you listen acutely as you awaken.  Personality is always slow to do so, and this is a moment of deepest contact. </p>

<p>This is a directive time for you, and a guiding time for us. Taking your own initiative as one step will start you on your way.  The time is right now to pretend your world is just as you would have it. </p>

<p>To know you are working toward the outcome releases you from pain of indecision.  There is only room now for your work to progress along the line of our guidance, to participate in the telling of the story of how to rule your own piece of this illusion. </p>

<p>Adam was one who knew the working of the universal rule of making matter into all forms. This is, of course, the metaphor for manifesting your desires.  But in truth it is the simple play of light and dark upon a world always in the unfolding of all things of the physical. </p>

<p>If you could run your own path out as you intend it to run, would you not do your work with ease and comfort?  Everyone alive has this ability but not all have the knowledge to do so.  </p>

<p>Is it even good to know how to run along a path without the barbs and pitfalls, personal doubts and challenges, time constraints and loving entanglements? Only after you have run the path long enough to have yourself set into the pattern of truth we speak of so very often.  </p>

<p>You do know of how to do the work of allowing all to become.  Better if you undo your personal point before you try that one single thought.  </p>

<p>If you will yourself to take charge, you will yourself to be your own guide, and this transfers your power back into your personality, where it is divided between your needs and your temptations.  Waiting for the path to open is a far better action to take. </p>

<p>The path that will take you forward is, as well, the one that releases you from the power others exercise over your expression. Moments are left in these emotional needs.  For it is all a part of releasing your personality from its controlling interest in others' lives.<br />

<![CDATA[<p>Blinking will win you only a pause to reclaim the weaknesses in your world.  Bold believing will claim the same. </p>

<p>You must place your own world on hold, allowing your mind to gather your energy and to move it into position.  Enough time is a must. Believing you are right in place to do so is a perfection of belief in yourself. The course of all perfection runs the full extent of itself: you know this as a concept, but have yet to align with it as it runs its course in your life.  Perfection will come.  Better to receive it than to curse its low vibration before you know it as itself. </p>

<p>This is a reason to look deeper into your own vision of your perfected future. The mail is left at your door, not in your world, allowing you to see it through your eyes, as if you are living your mail before it comes to even be knowledge you have been sent. This is a paralleling, or course change, but it is not a given until proven useful or returned unopened. </p>

<p>Ripe with unused framed pictures of your future, we stand to open one picture you have been most inclined to view, but never to the extent of making it come in proof of steady focus.  This picture is for your eyes, and it is made from the pain you place in it for your own need to be blinded before you make your choice to live well. Yes, to be blinded by the reasons, yet always looking into the light, trying to see through to your own end. </p>

<p>There is nothing you must heed, or do, or reason out for yourself but this: are you ready to live well?  And reach this conclusion with faith in your own method of reducing all possibilities into one course of action. </p>

<p>You know now it is possible to be granted the right to have your own sense of value.  And you know this must come before you shall inherit any other form of income. How will this ever come into your world if you have not yet come to sense your value as your own best personal expression? </p>

<p>How to make this true in your world is nothing you need to be concerned with.  You only must tell your story in your own mind as if it is just how you want it to be.  You know it is a gain in perspective when you ask for your own wealth, not wealth coming from another’s hand.  But this is left unfinished, for you have yet to gain enough energy to bend your own mind around its value. </p>

<p>Be your own personal guide through this fast moving adventure.  Make it your own sense of accomplishment, and realize you have it in your hand, only now it must be actually made into the energy you require it to be made into. </p>

<p>Your need for your own future to be certain is probable cause enough to ask for and find the right words to describe the way you set about the task, but not enough to gain you entry into the world of your own making. To know too soon would only furnish you with time in-between to rip out the existence of this dream coming true. </p>

<p>When you sit and ponder your own adventure you are apt to make it a little bit better, or a little bit harder for no purpose, or a little bit sooner than possible, or a little bit off the mark, for you have no real thoughts of the future in any case it point. </p>

<p>In your own world right now you have gleaned the purpose of this time of uncertainty and it is making its mark on your personality already. You have been pondering this mark, and know it has changed you forever and made you one who is never again to watch as others give to you for the purpose of chaining you to them. You see this with eyes wide open, and you feel the time clicking your lifetime into its rightful place among those who have tasted this form of perjury, only to return to it for the sake of staying alive. </p>

<p>Make no statement about this, but look with a kinder eye into your own need to finally be ended with this act of abandonment of self. </p>

<p>In the time it takes to make your decision as to who you are, and who you are to become, you shall be on your way into that future.  Does this make any difference in your immediate outcome?</p>

<p>Travel is seldom through one dimension. Your eyes are beginning to focus in our realm again.  The doorway never closes, but your eyes turn from it to see better in your own world.  </p>

<p>This is a moment of clear thought, and yes, it is an accurate assumption to make. </p>

<p>To lose your path is a certainty when you follow it only until you have nothing else to gain.  But to know it is always before you, in time of certainty or uncertainty, is the only way to maintain your balance. </p>

<p>This is your "right path" or your initial path we speak of now, not your self-possessed-intended path. Both have their place within your thoughts.  But one is as if it will always ring through, whether you are listening or not; the other is maintained through your actions, and your will to see it through. </p>

<p>This is a universal debate: which path is truest, or which path is righteous, and which path is planted from within or from without, or good enough to bypass your own inner guide, or passive enough to belittle nothing while stirring your innate needs to the surface? </p>]]>
