"Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny - he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally - you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you."

Osho

[December 11, 1931 – January 19, 1990]

Message From The Guardians: Through Laura

November 3, 2007

* * * * *

Blessings one and all...

Around and around you go and where you stop no one knows! Dear ones are you getting a bit dizzy? [Laughter]

We watch you spin around and around on your world. We see you twirl on your own center and wonder when you will stop spinning and just accept that constant change is the nature of being a Human Being!

Blessed Angels of Earth, we are not making fun of you, we are just trying to help you see the futility of your struggle to resist the changes that are happening all around you and for that matter in you. Some of you are causing yourselves much more pain and anguish than is necessary. These are indeed challenging times for all on the Planet Earth but it is not necessary to be creating even more turmoil for yourself by constantly pushing against the changing aspects of your lives. It is often very difficult to see the purpose or incredible gifts of a particular situation when you are standing knee deep in it. We would suggest that in moments of turmoil and frustration you take a few deep breathes and stand back from the situation and use your position of the "observer" to gain a better perspective on your own situation.

In this way you will be able to gain more insight into what is really going on and the benefits it will provide for you in the long run! Remember Dear Ones, you are on Earth to grow and evolve not to chase all the goals and objectives you have been taught by your parents, teachers and cultures. If you are measuring your progress by the standards you have been taught by other Humans you will always find yourself lacking and become disillusioned and depressed. Life in the physical is not about the things others would choose for you but about the choices you make for yourself. Stop comparing yourself to everyone else around you and decide what "you" really want your own life to look like. What are your dreams, your passions and your goals? Who cares if they don't match up with what your society is tell you to be and do?

You are a Human Being not a Human Doing! Stop racing around trying to be what everyone else wants you to be and start really looking at what it is you wish to BE! If those choices don't fit in with what the people around you are doing, find some people of like mind to be around or "just do your own thing".

The 60's were not that long ago for a lot of you. Do you remember what it was like to free yourself of the burden of other peoples expectations of you? There was much wisdom from that time which has been forgotten and the real tragedy is the ones that discovered the wisdom were the first ones to forget all about it. [Laughter]

Why do you think the new generations are so retro focused, wanting to emulate a lot of the styles, music and energy of the period of the 60's and early 70's? There in lies a great key to the new generation of young people emerging now. Look at the rising number of peace protests, the young turning away from traditional education systems, the defiance of authority figures and institutions. Any of this sound familiar Baby Boomers? It may be time to dig out those tie died T-Shirts again, metaphorically speaking of course. [Laughter] If that is what it takes for you to regain the energies and wisdom of that period, then by all means throw in a head band if you need to!

The 60's and early 70's were a period of experimentation when a short burst of the New Energies were sent to Earth to help initiate the changes that are going on in your world today. A powerful seed was planted that has just recently began to germinate in a profound manner, especially in the west. This will grow and encompass your whole planet, as you are now truly living in a global community.

We will tell you a well kept secret. There is a unique group of souls that were not really part of what you consider the 60"s flower children because these are the ones that were born in the early 60's just as this powerful burst of New Energy was delivered to Earth. They rode the wave in so to speak and they will have a profound affect on your world in the coming years. They are what you would consider the youngest of the Baby Boomer generation and in fact are quite different from them. They are the bridge, the linkage between that generation and the New Children that started to arrive after that. They are the forerunners of all the New Children you think of as so special. They are the guardians of this new generation and have held the door open for these children to arrive, some at great cost. They will begin taking on new roles and priorities in the next few years and their voices will be heard in new and exciting ways. Watch for them, they will now become very easy to recognize. Some are the parents of New Children and others have chosen very different roles in which to be of service but all are connected in a very special way. That is all we will share with you at this time.

We hold you close to our Heart of Hearts and ask you to do the same for each other in these challenging times.

Blessings one and all...

The Guardians

Avoiding your true power - afraid to meditate?


So many friends have recently confided that they have real trouble in sitting down and meditating ... instead, they get restless and start thinking about all the household chores, or worse! So today, receiving this from Daily Om, I thought that what the article says is actually quite true ...

Please enjoy ...

November 1, 2007
Avoiding Your True Power
Afraid To Meditate

There are times when we feel the pull to meditate but are swayed from it by the excuses that spring to mind. We may think that we are too busy, have no time to ourselves, or that we do not have the right place to meditate. Our minds can think of dozens of reasons to put off meditation. But those are even stronger reasons to look past the illusion of the hustle and bustle of daily life and to connect to the place within that intersects with the timeless power and limitless potential of the universe. From that place we can experience that potent stillness that exists at all times, and it is only as far as away as our breath.

It might be useful to ask yourself why you would put off something so beneficial to your peace of mind and general well-being. There may be fear that if you were to stop your frantic pace, your world might fall apart, and then you would have to face the undeniable reality of who you really are and the results of the choices you have made. You might be afraid that you will be forced to make huge changes in order to align yourself with the universe and harness your true potential. Sometimes the frustrations of the known world seem less scary than the possibilities of the unknown. But the truth is that when we cooperate with the universe by creating our lives from the truth of our being, life becomes less of a struggle and more of a process of living blissfully on purpose.

Finding yourself alone for a few moments can give you the opportunity to turn within to infuse a sense of calm wisdom to your work. Whenever you can take the time to recenter and refocus, it will remind you how beneficial it is to connect to your source. Then you will make the time for longer sojourns of spirit, because once you are rejuvenated and enlivened by knowing that you are made of energy and light, you can channel the power to create your life in alignment with the highest potential of your soul.

Make Way for Success

A few months back, I was really struggling - mentally, physically and spiritually - to get to grips with life. I wanted to move forward but every single step I took forward somehow ended up in 6 steps back!

This article from renowned conscious thought-leader makes perfect sense ... so if you are stuck and can't seem to find a way to move forward, then read on!


The Cycle of Completion: Making Way for Success
by Jack Canfield


Do you live in a state of mental and physical clutter? Do you have a bunch of unfinished business lurking around every corner?

Incomplete projects, unfinished business, and piles of cluttered messes can weigh you down and take away from the energy you have to move forward toward your goals.

When you don't complete tasks, you can't be fully prepared to move into the present, let alone your new future. When your brain is keeping track of all the unfinished business you still have at hand, you simply can't be effective in embracing new tasks that are in line with your vision.

Old incompletes can show up in your life in lots of different ways... like not having clarity, procrastination, emotional energy blocks and even illness. Blocked energy is wasted, and a build up of that energy can really leave you stymied!

Throw out all the clutter and feel how much easier it is to think! Make a list of areas in your life (both personal and professional) where you have incompletes and messes, then develop a plan to deal with them once and for all. Fix and organize the things that annoy you. Take your final steps in bringing closure to outstanding projects. Make that difficult phone call. Delegate time-wasting tasks that you've let build up.

When you free yourself from the mental burden of incompletes and messes, you'll be AMAZED at how quickly the things you do want in life arrive.

Another area where you'll find incompletes in your life is in your emotions. Are you holding on to old hurts, resentments, and pain? Just like the physical clutter and incompletes, your energy is being drained by holding on to and reliving past pain and anger.

Remember, you'll attract whatever feelings you're experiencing. So, if you're stuck in revengeful thinking and angered in muck, you can't possibly be directing energy toward a positive future. You need to let go of the past in order to embrace the future. Letting go involves forgiveness and moving on.

By forgiving you aren't releasing the other person from their transgression as much as you're freeing yourself from their transgression. You don't have to condone their behavior, trust them, or even maintain a relationship with them. However, you DO have to free yourself from the anger, from the pain, and from the resentment once and for all!

When learning to forgive, make sure to complete the cycle. Acknowledge your anger, your pain, and your fear. But also own up to any part you've played in allowing it to happen or continue. Make sure to express whatever it was that you wanted from that person, and then see the whole event from the other's point of view. Allow yourself to wonder what that person was going through and what kind of needs he/she was trying to fulfill at the time.

Finally, let go and move on. Every time you go through this process you're learning how to avoid letting it happen again!

Soul Blossoming - Things That Matter

I receive monthly updates from Planet Lightworker, an online magazine which is always chockfull of fascinating articles which always resonate loudly with me ...

Here is one such article from this month's issue, written by Tom Brown.

Things That Matter

WHY NOT LIVE AS THOUGH each moment could be our last? Then wouldn't everything that happens in time become delicate, refined, transparent; every sight and smell, every encounter become sacred? Wouldn't everything reveal itself as so fragile that our heart would open? That is what the enlightened heart is: total openness without fear to the deep-felt impermanence of life.

When we review the events of this life on the cosmic videotape, the cosmic "instant replay", we will see how unaware we often were of the true importance of things. We often wanted things so much that we didn't even notice how much quality of life we gave up and how much peace of mind we sacrificed in order to have cellular phones, televisions in every room, new cars - all the things that count for ZERO in the deeper, eternal part of ourselves.

The things that matter the most in our lives are not fantastic and grand. They are the moments when we touch one another, when we are there in the most attentive and caring way.

When we come to the end of our lives and look back, the questions we will not usually ask are, How much is in my bank account? or What did I build? or the like. The questions most likely to be asked are very simple:

  • Did I love well?
  • Did I live fully?
  • Did I learn to let go?
  • Did I learn to forgive and live from spirit of the heart instead of the spirit of judgment?

Ultimately, our true contribution to life is the love we add to the world. Everything else comes and goes. Sharing our love will happen spontaneously among us when we allow ourselves to be simple and real and to live fully in the present moment.

Emerging Butterflies

As we begin a new year, our thoughts naturally go to new beginnings and transformations. One of the best metaphors for this is the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into a butterfly.

The caterpillar encases itself and is forced into a dark small area where it cannot be distracted by anything. No longer can the sun and rain enter its world. It is alone in the darkness wrapped in what it has spun from inside. Only by facing the darkness does the caterpillar's body begin to spread out and its light, beautiful wings begin to form.

The caterpillar must shed its last attachment to the dark, cramped space it has gotten used to - a form of familiar comfort - and begin breaking through the barrier of self in which it has wrapped itself. It doesn't have a clue what lies beyond, but it responds to a higher calling anyway.

IF a human helps the butterfly break through the cocoon, it will never fly. Only by finding the strength to break through the last attachment can this delicate being with a body so light and fragile, fly free.

If a caterpillar were given a choice, it might remain in its cocoon where everything is comfortable and familiar rather than coming out to be a butterfly. The caterpillar does not comprehend what it is becoming. We are in a similar predicament. We spend our time and energy trying to improve the cocoon, a little paint here, some wallpaper there, and we will have a great looking cocoon. We don't realize we are growing into something that will have the freedom to fly away in perfect bliss. Someday we will outgrow our present condition and have wings that will take us to heights we cannot imagine at the present time.

All of life is preparation for transition from one state to another, from one circumstance to another. The winds of change may come as a fierce hurricane ripping our life asunder or as a tender breeze that caresses our cheeks.

Honoring the truth of change allows our experience of darkness to be part of the greater whole. It asks the heart to be present and trust at deeper and deeper levels. It asks us to risk becoming butterflies while still in our cocoons.

"Age of You"

Blessings one and all ...

We greet you this day in the energy of thankfulness and unconditional love. Our voice has been doing her own work and integrating all the new energies which have flooded on to your Earth plane. We thought it fitting to re-establish our written communication with you at this time as the home of our voice moves into the celebration of Thanksgiving and remembrance of all the blessings each has received.

Your Planet has just taken another great step in it's evolution, some may say a "Quantum Leap" in consciousness and some may call it by a different name. It matters not the phraseology you choose to use. It matters only that you have some awareness of what has transpired and what it means to you and all the peoples of your Planet Earth. You may be looking around you saying "nothings really changed", "I was waiting to really see something happen and nothing really did." There is a reason for that Angels of Earth, if you are looking around you, you are looking in the wrong place. The profound changes have happened inside each individual and not in the exterior world you perceive with your physical eyes. You may start to see some external changes soon but these are a result of the changes that have gone on internally in each individual.

We know we speak to a group who already have a more fully developed awareness than the masses who are just now beginning to wake from their long sleep. If you want to really witness the leap in consciousness look to the people around you who would never before consider reading such a communication from spirit as you are reading now, the ones who would never before have a serious discussion about their dreams or having had an experience with an invisible being coming to them as they lay in their beds and wondering what in the world was happening to them. Look deeply into their eyes, hear the tone of their voice and listen closely to their questions. Notice a difference? Do you see a change? Can you feel the reaching out to new levels of understanding and acceptance? Do you hear them considering things they may have never considered before? Do you hear them asking, if not demanding that there must be a better way for us to all live together? Do you feel them reacting to you and what you say in a whole new and more open way?

What of you our precious Angels of Earth, do you not feel it too? Have not your dreams intensified and taken on a whole new dimension and meaning? Are you not now remembering your dreams more clearly than ever before? Are you not finding things that no longer serve you falling away at an unprecedented rate and new this and ideas flooding in like never before? Do you feel the unexplainable relentlessness that is accompanied by an uncharacteristic inner peace at the same time? You are saying to yourself, "How can I be so restless and charged up yet feel this inner peace and contentment at the same time"? You make a choice and know instantly afterwards that it was the correct choice for you but have no idea where you are going to go from that point but it seems perfectly fine with you. Could you imagine feeling that way five years ago or even one year ago or for some a few weeks ago? [Laughter]

Welcome to the New Consciousness beloved Angels of Earth, you are now in the energy of "You". It's not about your connection to anything, not even to spirit, it's about your full connection to "You" and all that "You" are!

No you have not entered the "Age of ultimate selfishness", it's not about denying others anything. What it's really about is becoming your true "I Am" self, becoming the creator you truly are and choosing what "You" really want from the field of limitless possibilities that stand spread out before. What is really making you restless is that you have never before considered or been able to envision truly limitless possibilities for yourself or your world. The inner peace and contentment you feel lies in the center of that field of limitless possibilities. It is totally peaceful and serine because there is now energy attached to any one of these possibilities because they are just that "possibilities". You are free to choose any one or number of them that strikes your fancy. There is no right, no wrong, no better, no worse they are just there waiting for you to choose or choose again.

Dear Ones, we understand this can be somewhat overwhelming to you coming out of the energy of limitation and restriction but you will get used to it! [Laughter] Some will dive right in and others will take their time getting used to this new paradigm, it doesn't matter which one you are, each will move through at their own pace and in their own way. We ask you to "feel" the possibilities open to you now and start practising making conscious choices. The time of sitting back and just going with the flow has passed. You are truly the creator of your own world and it needs your input, your "choices" to move forward. In essence there is really no flow, just what you choose to create for yourself.

Some are saying to themselves, "I really don't know what to choose". Think of it like shopping for a new wardrobe, try something on and if it does not suite you try on something else. The world will not end if you choose a shirt and decide a few weeks later to get a sweater. [Laughter] Dear Ones, you need to let go of the concept of "what is the Best choice". Just because one thing is "Best" at one stage of your life does not mean that it is most appropriate a year, a month or even the next minute of time. You have been so conditioned to think in terms of the future instead of considering what is best for you in that present moment of time. What suites you, feeds you, and fulfills you in every sense of the word "right now". Tomorrow is another day, it might be something totally different in that moment of time. You have been conditioned to think in massive blocks of time in the future. Where will I be in five years and what are the things that will get me to that place I want to be? You really have no idea what you will really want when you arrive in that time five years from now, it will most likely be quite different from how you feel about it now.

Most of you have been living your whole lives this way, has it made you happy? Are you really satisfied with where you are right now? How many have discovered what you thought you wanted five years ago is not what you want now that you have arrived? So Dear Ones, has this method that you have been taught and cling to so fiercely been working for you?

Angels of Earth we have asked "You" many questions this day of your time, can you guess why?

It's because the answers, the choices, are not up to us or to come from us, they are in "You"!

We told you from the beginning that we were here to help guide you "to make your own choices" and now more than ever before you have the most open playing field to do just that, choose. It is not our purpose to choose for you, the choices are yours and yours alone. "You" are the creator!

Angels of Earth we hold "you" in our Heart of Hearts and ask "you" to do the same for each other. Most of all we ask that you be loving, gentle and patient with "You".

Blessings one and all...

The Guardians
