The clearer you are about who you are, the clearer you will be on what you really, really want – your sacred purpose – that which places you in the midst of life’s creative flow!

If you have been trying to figure out your sacred purpose – especially if you are or know of a younger person trying to decide on a future career, I encourage you to take a moment to really absorb the reality of that statement…

The more you can peel away from your identity the external layers of expectation, programming and even familial, societal or cultural fear we are all affected by, the more you are able to really get a taste for the unfettered truth of what makes your heart sing. In other words, the more you are able to consciously distinguish yourself from the identities, thought forms and expectations that are not you, the more you are able to experience alignment with your real self.

Of what is man made but of soul? What is man but a soul packaged in a human body? What more is there to say? My children believe in bodies fully yet not quite so much in their own souls which exist in and out of the body. This state of affairs may be called reasoning. Logic is given, yet, isn’t it only an idea that the body exists and the soul can’t exist because you can’t point to where the soul is? Isn’t this thinking out of the realm of reason altogether? And who cares where the soul is located? Care that you have a soul. Your soul represents you. You are your soul.

Is it reason to say that only what the five senses can embrace actually exists? Surely, there is more to you than meets the eye.

You can see words, and you can say words exist. You can write them. You put up pictures of them. You can say that words are evidence of thought. You might say that if there is a word for thoughts then thoughts must be said to exist. I don’t think anyone denies that thoughts exist, yet they often exist as will-o’-the-wisps.

There is a word God, and there is a word soul, and there is a word life. There is also a word for death and everyone understands its meaning. Young children already understand what death is. There is death of the body. There is no death when it comes to soul or spirit or God Myself.

HJ: It is the relationships we have with others that in large part define the quality of our own lives.  It is not the only factor, but a big one and those with an abundance of deep, fulfilling relationships are often the happiest (and most successful) among us.  Today’s article is about doing just that — creating deeply fulfilling relationships with the people in your life.

5 Ways to Get Close to Others

Intimacy is a skill, not an innate gift.

By Jill P. Weber Ph.D. | Psychology Today | Dr Jill Weber

People often come to me berating themselves and feeling they are fated to never be close or truly known by another being...

During this week leading up to your day that celebrates love, some people find it difficult if they are not in a relationship. If you are finding yourself feeling sad or upset, we would like to point out to you that it is likely due to the fact that you are focused on what you consider to be an absence of love.

Dear Ones, do not get tripped up over perceived lack this week! There is an abundance of love all around you. Use this week to see the endless potential the universe holds! See all the hearts, the chocolates, the roses, as a love letter to you from Source. Fill yourself up with love. See all the evidence of love as a sure sign it is making its way to you. Take a moment to commune with your future love, sending that person affection, encouragement and appreciation, and feeling the connection that already exists between your souls.

If you embrace the love that flows to you and through you from Source, if you fill yourself up with unconditional love and feel all the love you are ready to share, you can see this Valentine’s Day as wonderful preparation for the love that is sure to find you, whenever the timing is perfect for you and your future beloved. ~Archangel Gabriel
