New Year’s resolution
The following question and answer were received, answered, and printed on Dec 31, 2008. It seemed like a little reminder from a decade ago was in order – it is so very relevant to every year, decade, and century.
QUESTION: Masters, I know that human celebrations may seem a little artificial to you, being outside of planet Earth’s time zone. But the dawn of the calendar year, for us, is a time when we human beings like to make lists of “good resolutions.” We usually aim at things like losing weight, stopping smoking, and speaking nicely to our mother-in-law. If you were to make a list of good resolutions for humankind, what would it contain?
ANSWER: This question really started an interesting discussion among us. Our first point of interest was what we would consider a “good” resolution – you do know that we do not judge good, bad, or best. But then we laid semantics aside and dived into the issue. Our point of view was from a rather different perspective than yours might be: we looked from the angle of souls wishing to complete their mission to Earth. With that in mind, our list would read:
- To become aware of our true nature.
- To love all souls sharing this journey with us even when we do not like the nature of their chosen lessons.
- To accept ourselves fully as we are because it is necessary for the path we walk.
- To learn to banish all fear so we might see the lesson within.
- To understand the lessons we came to Earth to learn.
- To trust in the universe, knowing it will not give us more than we can endure.
- To have faith in our self because we are divine.
- To know we create our own reality, so we have the power to create what we need to complete our journey.
- To be able to release the human ego to enjoy fully the unconditional love of the soul.
- To live each day in communion with our fellow souls in unconditional love.
Happy Earth New Year to all!
