Often I peek in on the empath groups of which there are many. I have met some wonderful empaths in all shapes and sizes. I am always thrilled to see how many are just realizing that they may be or are empaths and witnessing their eagerness to learn and start on the process of becoming a control empath.

I have asked Yeshua and my master teacher guide to help out here with some words. This will not be all sugar but it is time we add that spice and also give a little tough love. As I read others words and comments in the online community I am often being pushed to say much however I hold back a little because there are also many out there who are ready to be very combative and this is not what this is all about. This is about not the one but the many. This is about growth of the group, humanity, and giving a helping hand to humanity and not pacifying the one who is coming from a place of ego and low vibrations. I told you this would not be all sugar…but hang in there with me.

Even if you are just now realizing that you may be an empath you must know that there is more to it, more to you, your life and your soul purpose than just that. There is the ultimate goal which is the ascension of all to a place where all understand they are part of the One. So if you feel you are JUST exploring empathy whether as the novice, intermediary or advanced empath, you are not. You are on the ascension path whether you are aware of that fact or not. So although you may be reaching out a hand with just empathy in mind know that as there is a response to that hand you hold out, maybe for the first time in your life, it is taken to be guided with more than just empathy in mind. Empathy and the realization you are an empath may be just the beginning for you…be open to where you may be led.

Many empaths feel that they have it hard. They are trying to live their life’s and deal with their own emotions while at the same time having to deal with feeling the emotions of others, often many others and at one time. Many are at a place where they don’t know if issues of anxiety, depression, etc that they are dealing with are truly their own or an affect of empathy. It is at time not easy for an empath to separate, however that is one of many reasons to work on becoming a skilled empath. And to become a skilled empath there are no rituals involved, no need to light candles, do certain things during the full moon, or write things on a piece of paper and burn them in your backyard in the middle of the night. All that you do if it is something you happen to enjoy, but know that rituals are not needed as you work on becoming a skilled empath. There is hard work involved but this type of work is work where the tools that are needed are already within you and not outside of you.

(Yeshua speaks) Many of you spend much time looking for answers outside of yourself. Do you really think so little of yourself that you think the One would have created YOU but given the answers that your soul seeks to another? You were given and have everything within you to do all the things you set out to accomplish in this lifetime. It matters not whether you believe that or not because as time moves on in the way you think that it does all will be proven…and in your own time. When you are ready for the answer they will be there just as when you are ready for help it will be given to you.

The title above is “Be Ready to Change and Improve.” The reason for the title is that many of you are working on the one thing and not the other. Whether you are focused on developing your empathy, psychic abilities or psi abilities, it matters not because if you do not also work on yourself those things will all fall short of where you want them to be. Many are taught when they are young that when they start on something they need to put their best foot forward. Well some of you are not putting your best foot forward. Think about it. Could you possibly try a little harder, be a little nicer, complain a little less, or love a little more? The answer should always, no matter where you are along your path, be yes.

Put You Best Foot Forward!

Don’t Speak – Listen!
You have access to much guidance from so many different sources. You may not agree with everything you hear or are told, but in the beginning listen more than you talk. As you grow and learn what may not seem like truth now may be realized in a different way in the future as your knowledge increases and your belief system changes. Take all the knowledge in that is available to you whether you are in fully understanding of it at this time or not. In the silence there is much to be gained.

Get Your Ego in Check!
Your ego is so use to being in control with no one stopping it and making it take a back seat. It is ego that makes people sometimes want to prove the other wrong. It is ego that sometimes make you want to develop in a certain way or within a certain time frame. It is ego that makes you feel that for someone to be right someone has to be wrong. This is all the way of the old and you must let go of it by consciously working on controlling the negative ego. If a thought comes to you that is not very positive or nice, stop and take the time to think of where it is coming from before you proceed further. If something or someone makes you frustrated or angry, stop and question yourself. Ask yourself “Does it really matter?” Many times it does not. I am always reminded when dealing with my 5 year old of a couple of things…repeatedly. Lol. One is that you may win the battle but lose the war. The other is to pick your battles..NOT WISELY, BUT DIVINELY. If you are not sure what I mean by that then let me just say LEAD BY EXAMPLE. Is it worth the fight and then consequently the lowering of vibrations, putting yourself in a place where you would then attract negativity? Like attracts like. If you are dealing with someone who is maybe in a place where they want to argue and want to be combative with you, will it then help you at all to play the game with them and then find yourself right down there with them? Maybe you can be more helpful to all situations if you stay true to yourself. As the situations change…your job, as the divine being you are, is to stay the same and leave those vibrations right where they are in that high place. You can lose the battle and still won the war…for yourself.

Put Your Big Girl/Boy Pants on and Stop Your Whining!
Okay, that a little harsh sounding isn’t it. Yes, sorry, I really want to make sure I have your attention and I think I do. The place where you find yourself has a specific purpose compared to other place possible for you to have incarnated to. Earth is the only planet that is a learning and experience planet. Earth is a place most, although not all, have come for the lessons through experiences. Many of you could have chosen differently, however you choose to incarnate here and you were more than just a little involved in planning the experiences you would have in your lifetime. If something is going on in your life, although this may not be comforting for you to know, you chose to experience it. Many have asked me “Why would I do this to myself?” You saw the potential value that learning certain lessons and having certain experiences would have. There is potential in everything no matter how bad or negative it may seem on the surface. Stop and take time to analyze things and determine if you see an opportunity in it to gain something from it. If you see someone today and they seem ready to instigate negative communication with you, could that possibly be an opportunity for you to practice being the silent observer? If someone is not behaving the way you think they should then possibly you have a choice to be judgmental or to practice acceptance. Which will you choose? If someone says something or does something hurtful to you, will you convince yourself that you must not let them get away with it or will you practice control of ego and take a step back, keeping true to yourself? The choice is yours. Will you choose the lower vibrations of the 3rd dimension or will you choose the higher dimensions and only respond with love? I can tell you that if all of humanity practiced acceptance there would be no more whining. Take some time for yourself and think or meditate on that thought.

I wish you well as we all make our way forward.

The Lesson of Acceptance

I was going to title this post “Acceptance of Others” which is actually the title of a channeling I recently read. I decided that “Acceptance” would be a much better title for this post because when I think of acceptance I not only think of acceptance of others but acceptance of all things regardless of whether they are things that can be changed or things that can not be change, or possibly should not be forced to change. Some may think acceptance and tolerance go hand in hand but really they do not. You can be tolerant but still not be in full acceptance of things and people.

How many of you have friends or family members who do a certain thing that you do not like? Possibly you hear yourself saying under your breath “Ohhh, she/he so annoys me sometimes!” And what do you do? Some times you try to discuss the issue with the person and then there are times when you decide to actually avoid a person because some of the things they do you find hard to swallow and even harder to keep continually biting your tongue. Yup, been there! For many of you who have been on a spiritual path for a while you recognize it for what it is. You tell yourself that it is okay because they are exactly where they are suppose to be at this point in their lives. You attempt to feel compassion for their situation because of the understanding you have of what is truly going on and not just the illusion. You tell yourself you will stay true to yourself no matter what and just ignore those things they do. You do all of those things and still deep inside you may feel annoyed and that you don’t have much tolerance for putting up with their crap for much longer. What is needed then? Acceptance!

The point you are at you need to learn to accept them for who they are even if you think they are the most screwed up person you know. Accept them for who they are and where they are at in their lives. Don’t look at them focused on the things about them you feel need to be changed and fixed. It is not your job to fix them or anyone else. That is only truly a concern of theirs. Do not think that just because you have the knowledge and expertise to help solve all their problems that it is your duty to step in and affect change in them. Again, it is not your duty to do that.

This may be a tough lesson for those who often help others because it is a part of their soul purpose. You may be feeling like you are flip-flopping back and forth. There are those you help who come to you or who are energetically drawn to you for help and of course that is fine. They are ready for that help and you give it to them generously. Then outside of the people you are put together with for the purpose of helping them are others who you are just to stand back and accept them for who they are and see and understand that it is not your job or duty to jump in and try and change them, especially if it is just not their time. They will come to the places they need to be in life in their own time just as you can remember that you resolved emotional issues and completed lessons when it was time and you were nudged by unseen forces to do so.

I can hear now someone saying to me “But, he did this to me and I didn’t deserve that!” or “But you don’t understand, she’s always doing this and the other thing to me!” Yes, and so? Think of this. If we never make any mistake or did those annoying things that others hated, what would we learn from and how would we eventually be able to correct ourselves and our behaviors? I am sure when you were in grade school you would not have appreciated a teacher who would berate you every time you got a math problem wrong. Hmmm, anyone out there have any anxieties related to math from those times when your Mother or Father would help you with homework and yell and get frustrated with you? Did you appreciate it? Did it help you learn? No, but you probably did learn that it was bad to make a mistake and that making mistakes were not acceptable. How did that make you feel, even now thinking about it? Do you really want to make another feel that way? What would that teach them and do you really think that would help them? No, of course not.

Use your own experiences from the past to help you to be able to show and give acceptance to others. Especially children because it is not to late to show them the way by leading by example. I am not saying do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I am saying do unto others the way you know to be the way of a higher spiritual being that you are.
