We were born into an upside-down world where truth is accused of being quackery.
And if we’re asleep, we don’t know we’re asleep because we can only know what we’re ready to know.
So in these conditions of earth school, our job is to live the experience we are in until we remember the truth of who we are — which is infinite potential.
When we’re ready and able to hold our infinite potential and use it for good, we wake up to our wisdom.
Until then, be assured nothing has gone wrong. We are here to learn.
What may be within our grasp is the desire to be a better student to our learning.
Listen. Focus. Feel. This is us waking up.
The deeper we listen, the more we remember, and our true power unfolds through whatever mess we find ourselves in.
Do not worry. Love is here and all around us. When we are ready to let it in then the transformation we came for can begin.
Earth school is a messy business. But let us say thank you.
Thank you for living, for breathing, for having a being in the cosmic drama unfolding as our life.
It could all be over tomorrow such is the edge we live.
If we stay asleep, that’s ok, too. Life loves us anyway. And upon death, we awaken.
The moment we realize the truth of who we are, we know who and what everyone and everything else is, too.
Be willing to learn.
