There is not one of us who has never been Divinely Guided
...yet, there are a whole lot of us who do not know that this is what is happening when it seems that the thing that does not appear to have any resolution ends up being the thing that comes with its very own brand of clarity.
There are not a lot of people on the planet who have not felt the need at one time or another to call into being the assistance brought by Angels. Yes, Angels exist. If you do not believe me, then think back to a time when you really needed some help and out of nowhere there was help. Think about those times when it seemed like there was no end in sight to the things that hurt you, that broke your heart, and again, through your own direction and from the guidance of the Soul within you, help arrived, and it was not just any kind of help. In fact, the last time that you needed the help with something, if you looked back at that time and took it apart and studied all the pieces of the entirety of the situation, you would find that truly, there was Divine Guidance.
Divine Guidance
I have a habit of seeing things that make no sense to anyone at the onset of things as being Divinely Timed and Planned. What this means is that all of us have what I refer to as being "The Wishes of the Soul." The Soul knows very well what it needs, even as our physical selves want to tell the Soul what it needs. When the Ego, which is manifested through our physical selves, cannot come up with a good enough, self-serving reason as to why certain things happen in our lives or why certain people show up when they do and sometimes at seemingly the most inopportune of times is when we are not realizing that our Soul is in a unified effort with the Angels to bring to us the thing that we need the most through the most simple means and through the most obvious manner. Sometimes we are not able to deal with what is brought to us, and when we cannot deal with what has been brought to us is when the Guidance of the Angels and those who are known in some circles as being The Ascended Masters I won't go on in great length about who these Beings all are, just know that whether it is the Angels or the Masters, either way, you are in the greatest position of all to receive not only those lessons which bring the Soul to the level it needs to be at the time it is meant, but also to bring comfort in times of uncertainty.
I refer to events that make no sense at the onset, again, as being "Divinely Timed and Planned." When a thing is Divinely Timed and Planned, and when it seems that the energies which surround it are somehow just falling into place without any help from anyone in the human arena, this is when we know for sure that we are not alone. When we ask from our Soul for the things that we need to bring to the rest of the world our own brand of Aloha and when truly we can Know and Believe and trust that really, God has us, this is when clarity is formed within us. This is when we have that Divine connection, and this is when the journey has taken on a completely different energy.
Trust in the things and events which are Divinely Timed and Planned
Trust that the harsh feel of some events is just that - that is what it feels like. There is not one of us who does not recall at least one time in our lives when we literally felt our bodies growing. This growth pain can be likened to that harsh feeling we end up having when certain things in our lives evolve into what they are supposed to. Things that are meant to happen always happen - there is no getting around them or away from them, and most of the time the things and events and people who show up make no kind of sense at all to our human brains, but our Soul knows that what lies before us, no matter what it is, and it is our Soul and the prodding brought by it that compels us to a level of curiosity that makes us want to know more.
When we want to know more we find yet more clarity about other situations and suddenly we can see the pattern, the ties between events, and very shortly thereafter all that has occurred to that point becomes the collective entirety of our own Knowing at that very special, very Divinely Timed and Planned thing. These times and the components contained within them is what makes the things which made no sense suddenly make all kinds of sense. When we ask for components to be removed, we do not know how they will be, only THAT they will be. We cannot control how they evolve, because the "how" of anything at all is not ours. When we release the idea that we have to control how a thing happens - THIS is when we have experienced the Divine Nature of Absolute Surrender.
The Divine Nature of Absolute Surrender
Human beings have a hard time relinquishing control of anything at all, namely when it is that what we are seeing in our lives has the flavor of our not having absolute control.
Controlling our own outcome to meet our ego's wants has nothing to do with the things that we need. When we surrender to our own knowing that we are here for a Divine Purpose, we also surrender to the idea that no matter what we think is supposed to happen, no matter how we want something to end up being, and no matter how many things and people we hang on to from the past and how many lessons we are more willing to forget having learned just to have that one thing happen for us through our own manipulation of a thing is what trips us up. We can never do better for ourselves than to ask for the habit of surrendering ourselves to our Higher Purpose, and part of this is being able to understand that what we want is in manifest, that what we need is contained in the outcome that is not ours but that we are, with the guidance and help of the Angels and God, well on our way to seeing EXACTLY what we want, or something even better and more applicable to our Higher Purpose.
It is our lower energy tendencies that cause us to not trust the things that we have no explanation for, and it is the ego which prods us to worry, to stay corded to those whose purpose in our lives have been met. When we choose to surrender to the Divine Guidance and we do so with the absolute trust that when we have left our issues and our worries and the things that we have no idea what to do with, this is called Absolute Surrender. When we experience the energy of truly letting go, of truly accepting that what we need and is in our best interest is being met and in manifest, this is when we are primed and ready for the things we so dearly want to become more than what our human minds can even begin to think is real, let alone deal with. This is why it takes so long sometimes, the manifestation of the lives we are collectively creating - because we need to learn patience, we need to learn what we have asked to have as part of our way of being, and most of all, we need to be able to evolve to a point where our brain can process these wonderful things coming into being in our lives.
We are taught to not trust in events and things and people who seem to be way too amazing for us to have called into our lives. We are taught to believe that we are not good enough to have what we have, to have what we want and can see in our minds. We are taught to think that we have to compete with others in this awareness for our own Gifts and Treasures. We are taught there is not enough of what we want and that other people are more lucky or more deserved than we are. We are taught all these non-truths about who we are and we just volunteer to believe it all. Then one day, when we seem to be at our very lowest point, when we are crying with a broken heart and seething with the anger and the disbelief that we have again been able to worry ourselves into a situation that we cannot possibly believe is ours, we finally do what we need to and we surrender.
We are not giving anything up - quite the opposite, in fact. We are opening up, making room for the thing that we want to see happen in our lives, clearing out first that which does not serve our higher purpose, and feeling what it is to have "lost" something that more often than not, we are hanging on to because we humans hate giving up what we think of as being "ours". We do this a lot with the pain we feel and we do it through hanging on to the people who made us hurt. I went through this for many years, and yesterday all those years and all that time finally came to the very loud, very calamitous eventuality that it was meant to. I do not like confrontation, but sometimes it is needed because it is that very confrontation that brings about the awareness of what really needs to happen. While I can see that the thing that I was manifesting at first is still very much in manifest, what I did not see was the lesson in strength, the lesson that apparently I needed to regain not only my intuitive edge, but more, the edge I'd created for myself which allows me to see more clearly the issues which my clients bring to me.
Had I not gone through everything that I have up to this very point in time, I would not be where I am today, and more important than that, I would not be WHO I am today, and who I am today is far removed from who I was yesterday. Yesterday I was a seething mess of vitriol, ready to take on anyone who was any size and yesterday I was just not who I really am, but who I really am totally depended on yesterday happening for me. If yesterday did not happen for me, and if yesterday I did not just accept that what I was going through was meant specifically for me, I would not know just exactly how Divinely Timed and Planned all the events that happened prior to yesterday really were if I did not see the me that needed to be here yesterday to grow into the exquisite warrior that truly I have become. An exquisite warrior is one who can choose their battle and can see clearly when the fight has been won. An exquisite warrior is one who uses all the Love contained within the reason why anyone would take on an issue just one last time, and this time, I know that this was the battle royale that truly needed to happen.
Where once there was confusion, now there is clarity. Where once there was reason to believe that this was not the truth, that I was done battling this one thing, one last time, there now is the feeling of completion.
Where once there was complete fear, there is now the mellowing of those energies which could be called a Monster in the closet of my mind. Where once there was the endlessness brought by impatience, now there is but the relief which comes with knowing that the very wishes and desires of my own Soul in accordance to what my own visions tell me are very truly, very quickly manifesting, and had I not gone through what I had gone through, I might not have this heightened Gift of Greater Spiritual Sight....and yes, I asked for it.
Now, it is mine....
You must ask yourself if what it is that makes you afraid is somehow not Divinely Guided to you and made especially for you. You must be willing to see what is before you for what it all truly is, and what it All Truly Is will make absolutely, Divinely Timed and Planned Sense, no matter what !!
Next time you hear a song you have not heard in ages, or perhaps experience coincidences that happen just exactly at the right time, do not be afraid to ask your own Soul what it means. You will know if the signs and coincidences are yours personally, because always we are being Divinely Guided by the Angels!!
I Love You All !!

This time is meant for stopping and smelling the roses...
When we see our lives unfolding as they are meant to, it is wise to Be in our Lives as much as possible, not to try to get more than we already have, but simply and only to appreciate what is already there for us.
Too many of us whose lives and life's work are connected to the Spiritual side of Life like to go out into this world and tell people that what we want we can have, that what we need we already have, and that it is easy for us if we just focus. What we are not so great at, at least a lot of us, is knowing what we want is ours, is in manifest, and is everything that we hope for it to be, but also that what we want requires that we be willing to allow it to Become what it is meant to be.
We want to behave as though we have the answers for everyone when a lot of the time we do not even have those answers for ourselves! And we have the nerve to believe that we think we know what is best for everyone else. We don't. When we are given a situation that we must get ourselves through and that situation is markedly rife with pain and heartache the only thing that we can see is that pain and that heartache. While we know that if we stepped back and thought more about the entirety of a thing rather than only our tiny piece of that thing that what would happen is we would be shown symbolically where we are at, we want to see the evidence of our growth, of our thoughts, and the manifestation of our Desires right there in our face and we want to see it NOW...
What, did you forget that there was going to be work involved in this?
No one likes to work, no one. We like to think that what we do for a living as being just a part of our lives and not truly a part of our Path.(It is...no, really...but that is for the other blog). We want to believe that the Law of Attraction works like a magic genie in a bottle when truly it is more you and your energy and the work put into that manifestation that brings it all into form. Do not take truly and as truth that you get what you want just like that. You do not. I do not. We will not, because always there is a lesson contained within it. We might be seeking answers that require our involvement being much bigger than what we thought. When the energy which we think is meant as someone else's lesson about thing is all our own, and when we think we are the ones who is teaching anyone anything, ultimately we find out that what we were doing was reflecting off of other people that energy that belongs to us and more than that, we are being given what we asked for and lots of times we do not even realize it.
...we do not even realize it...
If it is that we have been desirous of a thing or a situation, we do not know it until we are in the middle of it that we are learning about ourselves and what it is that our Soul needs. Our Ego needs way too much for our human beingness to be able to help it or satiate it. Our Ego serves us with the lesson that we need, and our Soul is the part of us that is rewarded for those lessons. When we are able to deal with a thing, when we can accept what it is about ourselves that we see in someone else, no matter what it is and no matter if we want to believe it, when it materializes for us that is when we find out what we are energetically made of. Collectively we have all asked for some rest, and when we did so we did so with the intention in mind that what we wanted to have in our lives we wanted to also have a sense of permanence to it. Things that require the involvement of other people at deeper levels than only what we see are the things that we most need to accept, to learn about, to understand how it relates to our lives singly and collectively, and then we need to trust that what we are seeing in front of our eyes physically is a manifestation of what it is that we have felt within our Souls for a lot longer than we care to believe.
And belief is part of the Stopping and the Smelling of the proverbial roses in this whole Spiritual adventure we are all on.
Stop to smell the roses without the fear that you are somehow going to get stung by the slings and arrows of what might happen...
Am I the only person who thinks that people should be less afraid of what might happen? I know all about this demon....the one that tells us that we should get ourselves prepared, "just in case." My friend Melody Fletcher, who is the creator of the Deliberate Receiving Blog, tells us in one of her blogs that when we prep ourselves for the worst that we should expect the worst because already in our minds we have created that thought that tells us things are going to go badly and that since we are such "smart" humans that we had better prepare for it all or else we might get our heart broken again over something...something that would not have turned out badly had we just opted to go with the flow of things and let them happen rather than prepping ourselves for that one thing to not happen the way it needs to.
I won't lie about it, but I do this a lot still, and I know the meaning of stopping to smell the roses in my life, and Melody is RIGHT !!
I know now that I have to just let things blossom, that if I want to see what I am most Desirous of in every area of my Life, I have to go with my gut instead of my rationale, have to believe it before I see it, and I know that doing things this way also prompts me to ponder certain evidences that tell me things, that give me my answers, that make it known that what I truly Desire the most is absolutely Becoming and is Becoming in a way that not even my own Piscean ability to dig into something deeply to analyze what is before me - and any good, well-learned Piscean will tell you that when we do like Pisces are meant to...which is to be a good Fish and swim with the flow instead of being like a Salmon trying to swim upstream against the Flow of Life. When we choose to "go with the flow" we find a grandness of Soul in the little things, in the things that, if we bothered to look a bit more closely at them, would show us the smaller yet vitally important pieces of the thing that is in manifest.
ALL parts of who we are depend on our being able to ponder our own magnificence, even if that magnificence is contained in the not-so-magnificent. When we see a thing as always Being Whole but also as constantly Evolving into the Most Highest Best that that thing or situation our limited thinking can handle, that is when we Know, too, that whatever it is that is in manifest for us that is taking what we want to call as being its "sweet time," is Being Created for Us in the very most wonderful way that we human beings cannot figure out with our own limited human thinking. When we can let go of what it is that we see with our minds eyes as being permanently as it is, that is when the magic happens for us because that said same magic happens within us and changes us ...permanently.
So when you are ready to blow a gasket, or ready to have words with someone over what it is that our Ego is pretending is the most important thing about something, stop for a moment and think about just how large the size of the thing or the situation is that we are intending and accordingly deal with it from that perspective.
When we can see our thoughts and the Desires of our Souls as being as valuable in manifest as we know we will see them when they have actually manifested, then is when we will actually feel as though it is on its way, no matter what it is. When we have a clue about a thing and when we can accept that we only know about it what we know about it and that we do not know the entirety of the thought or the thing, that is when we have begun the process of the slow yet sweet manifestation of the dreams residing within our Souls and the heartbeat and more, the Promise which is only that which is Universal Love.
Stop and smell the roses, guys...I promise you won't get stung!
I Love You All!!
