Greetings! We bring you greetings from the depths of the consciousness of your Higher Self. We are the Higher Consciousness of that portion of your being which is the connecting link to all consciousness of the universe. There is nothing lacking, all is known and all can be connected with in a most beautiful and a most spontaneous manner.
Has it ever occurred to you that all that is, both observed and not observed, in the created universe came from somewhere. This may sound like a rather simple statement, but how often is it considered from the point of view that if all creation, all of the created universe that is observable from the limited earthly perspective or from the wider universal perspective, if all came from somewhere it implies that there is an underlying foundation upon which all creation rests. If this is true, which it certainly is, that foundation is the emanation of and the consciousness of the One source of all. How can there be two sources from the very beginning to all of creation.
There is only one Source. You did not just pop into the earthly experience and then, after creating whatever environment and participation in the earthly activities that you have so ably and aggressively development, you pop out. You don't just disappear and say that was that. You are part of a continuum of the creative experience and as a soul, you are part of the foundation. You are one of the radiating beams of energy of Love and Light that has gone forth into the infinite universe and has chosen to manifest in certain ways, leading to the exact point where you now are. It is not so complicated but it is a truth that is hidden from the usual agenda of intellectual pursuit that is the pattern for so many inhabiting the earthly experience.
It must always be remembered, you are first and foremost a soul and have inhabited a body for a short time in order to give yourself an education and training. You have entered the school of earth which is a self-directed education program. You choose each area of participation. You choose the elements of the test that you will be given, and you choose how you are going to respond to that which has been presented for one of the many tests that you have constructed to be involved in during a current lifetime.
You see, the concept of choice and the concept of free will should not be taken lightly, but it should be observed from the point of view of the consciousness of the soul. The soul is the entity that is experiencing all that is part of the earthly experience. The soul is simply using the body, the emotions, the mental capacity, the physical surroundings in order to adapt and advance in understanding of the true character and nature of the soul. So as you pass through the many experiences and tests of your lifetime, recognize the foundation upon which all experience rests.
The foundation of a soul that you are, a radiating beam of Love and Light of the Creator, presenting itself into the physical manifestation in order to explore, to understand, and to know more clearly its infinite relationship to its true self which is the true self of the Love and Light of the Creator.
So you see, as you take the tests you are graded by this self- directed program. And how are you graded? Well, ask yourself, what have I learned? What have I taken from this particular event or experience that resonates deeply and positively within the inner depths of my consciousness that says, "Yes, this is right." "This is consistent with the revelation of my true character and nature as a soul; this response and interaction with this event is a statement of what I know to be the truth of the attributes of my soul." As you proceed through various tests and various exams, that understanding will become refined and will become aligned and integrated with the underlying foundation on which your existence as a soul is based.
To accomplish this procedure of self exam, it is important to understand and to recognize who you are as a soul and what is your makeup. It is for that reason that the attributes of the soul which, in summation, are the totality of the Love and Light that is radiated from the Source of all, are important to know, to feel, to apply, and to be consistent in that application. It is for this reason that we have shared at great length the truth of the makeup of the soul through the attributes that are immutable, unchangeable, irrevocable, and eternal.
So we leave you with the one consideration. Understand your Source. Understand the foundation with which you are One, which is the Source. Know that there is only One Source and know that every step along the way, you are proceeding in a self-guided tour of the universe, remembering, realigning, assessing, and adjusting, and coming into the fullness of knowing the truth of who you are as a soul. Good luck on the exam.
We serve you in the Love and Light of the universe.
John and Cheryl
