Let’s think of the whole for a moment. What I mean by that is let’s think about everyone related to spirituality and ascension. Are you on a spiritual path? Is your neighbor? Your Mother? Your Father? Your Brother? Your Sister? Are they all on the ascension bandwagon? Well I don’t need to know you personally to be able to answer that question for you. The answer to all the above questions is a big huge YES!

Are you at this blog right now because you are an empath looking for some answers and maybe a little insight that will keep you going and not waiting to jump off the nearest bridge? Possibly you think maybe this post doesn’t apply to you because you are not on a spiritual journey. Maybe you don’t even believe in a higher source. Can I be the first one to tell you that you are indeed on a spiritual path? Congratulations!

There is always more than one way to skin a cat. There is never just one way to do something or for something to be accomplished. I use to think that I had to hurry up and get busy and start reading lots of spiritual material so I could not lose ground when it came to my spiritual path. I had this idea at one time that unless you were consciously working on ascension and consciously on a spiritual path that you were not. Well, our truths and beliefs change of course over time as our old belief systems are broken down. I had to break down many old beliefs and incorporate new ones before I could realize the whole big picture.

Ascension and a spiritual journey is something that happens all on it’s own whether we are intending it or not. For example, when you interact with someone do you ever stop to think “Hey, they are on a spiritual path just like I am and going through their lessons just like I am, they just aren’t conscious of it.” If you stop and realize that and deal with people based on that notion then you will notice your relationships and interaction with people improve greatly. Also, if you are consciously on your spiritual journey/ascension and they are but not conscious off it then you could think of yourself as big brother or big sister to them, regardless of how old or young they are. Sometimes you are interacting with someone who doesn’t understand that what the two of you are going through is a lesson. But you know it is. So you have an awesome opportunity to take the lead. Be the bigger person and take the lead and help them by doing what you have learned to do best, send them thoughts of love and light.

Let’s also discuss the question of “What if you do not believe in a higher source, God, Buddha, etc.?” It doesn’t matter really. There is no check list somewhere that has your name crossed out because you say you do not believe. That tells me that possibly your not believing is a part of a lesson you choose to learn in this lifetime. If you rise above where you are, no matter the lesson, then you will have learned the lesson and passed the test. For example, if your lesson is poverty, then if you manage in this lifetime to rise above it and move out of the state of poverty and do it in a way that shows integrity (I had to say integrity because it does matter how you rise up out of your situation) then you will have learned the lesson and passed the test and then can move on to the next.

When dealing with people take a look and see if you can spot what their lesson might be and if possibly you were meant to help each other with the lessons you are working on.

I am not worried about people who put so much importance into what a person is doing because they qualify and quantify people that way. That is their issue at this time and not mine or yours. Often when I first meet someone they want to know what I do. That is always a tough question for me to answer because I know some/many are only accepting of the traditional answers that will be accepted by society. But society and what the Jones are doing and what the Jones have decided is right and acceptable is not my concern. God is my only concern.

When I started on my spiritual journey I thought it was going to be all roses and cupcakes. Yeah, imagine…it would rain cupcakes everyday of the rest of my life. lol.  I never would have imagined that I would have meet with the level of disrespect I have dealt with. Now, don’t get me wrong, I understand that we all at different place and points in our life and along our journey and at different truths. So I do understand of course and can be forgiving. No, you are not respected because your employer is God. People have more respect for a person that can boast of a good insurance and 401K plan. lol. But God doesn’t have that…he has something better but many don’t see it as better unless it is something they can take to a teller window and put in the bank. Many see a person worth in terms of what they have, and the monetary success of their efforts. My job for God is simple…I follow my soul purpose and do what I was suppose to do in this lifetime which is to assist people along their spiritual path. We can call it whatever you would like…spiritual teacher, guide, mentor, advisor. Itdoesn’t matter really matter what you call me or what I call myself because that is not of such importance. But in doing what I am suppose to be doing God does not check in with me everyday and say “Well how much money did you make from it today?” Money doesn’t come first of course. The job…the task at hand comes first and foremost of course. So sometimes I am asked by people where does the money come from and it is worded something like “How do you get paid?” Ahhh and you see that the importance in what I do is not on the actions I take or how many people I help or IF I have the support I need to do such a task. It’s doesn’t upset me though…but it does make me squiggle a bit in my chair, I will admit. lol. I will admit that I lie when I answer this question because I feel the answer won’t be liked and I will be looked down upon by most. Well actually my abilities at this point have alreayd told me why the question is being ask so the reality is that is where my discomfort with the question comes from. Becuase of my abilities I alreayd know why the person is asking that question. The money comes from God. Well that’s the simple answer and the specifics are a little more complex than that of course. I can have anything I want. God looks out for me. Gas, food, clothing, hardware tools for making my wire art lol. I work for him and he looks out for me and in the last two years he has never let me down. Oh yeah, at time things may not be perfect and there is always something more I could say I want (who can’t say that) but I can honestly say that if I have a need and I ask he always makes sure I have it. It’s a different employer/employee relationship than you may be use to, but it being different and on a different level does not mean it deserve less respect.

When did the world and the people in it turn into a place where a person would want to hide their spirituality. When did this world become such a place that the least respected are the ones who have made the committment and sacrifice for God and their soul purpose? When and why?!

I write this as much for myself as for you. I feel that I am far from being the only one who has these feelings. I feel there are many of you out there who love and hate the question “What do you do?” in the same way I do. It is a part of the journey to get to the point where Yeshua (Jesus) was. Even if you are not very religious read 1 & 2 Timothy in the bible. Why? I will explain by giving here the introduction from my bible for 1 & 2 Timothy and you will see why I say read it…it’s very interesting and is for anyone who works for God. If you are on a spiritual journey then I consider that you work for God…regardless of how much time you spend in persuit of your spiritual and ascension goals.

1 Timothy summary - The epistles that reflect Paul’s concern for Timothy and Ttus are called the Pastorals and in many ways they are similar in vocabulary, style, and content. Traditionally, paul is seen as the author, but many scholars have found that problemactic, since provisions for offices and discipline (subordination codes) in the churches as stated in this corpus suggest a level of institutional development long after the martyrdom of Paul.

Timothy became a convert to Christianity during Paul’s mission to Lystra of Asia Minor (Acts 16:1-3). Timothy was son of a Jewish mother and a Greek father. Paul was deeply concerned about the development of young Timothy and here affectionately provides instructions for his Christian nuture as he matures into a leader.

2 Timothy summary - A sequel to 1 Timothy, this pastoral is one of the seven “prison epistles” (the others being Philippians, Colossians, Ephesian, Philemon, and the coorespondence to Timothy and Titus). Paul reminds Timothy of his early history and exhorts him to act in a manner worthy of his calling. The personal touches about Paul’s own ministry suggest that this epistle has elements that seem even earlier than 1 Timothy. The nature of the so-called heresay as detailed in this document along with other matters of church discipline indicates justification for a late dating of this document.

Yes, I am on  journey however I can’t really explain to you where I am going. I have a sense of a vague direction but there are some nearby paths and I haven’t absolutely determined that I am on the one that I need to be on. I am not worried about it to the point of needing to buy a book to help get me there though. A part of the journey and the lesson is figuring that out. The answer for me is not in the newest self-help book, although I love self-help books of which my shelf is full of. The answer is within me and a part of the journey and lesson is finding that answer. And the answer will not be there waiting, obvious because it shines brightly, written out neatly in perfect English. No, it will be more like a puzzle and I am in a process of retrieving the pieces, piece by piece. This puzzle is not child’s play either. No, it is a huge puzzle with the most minute and varied pieces. All different shapes, sizes and colors. But I am not worried that the puzzle will be too hard to put together for my whole life I have been doing puzzles in preparation for this puzzle of all puzzles. The Mother/Father of all puzzles. I am most definitely up for the challenge. The more piece I am able to find and put together the closer I get, and the closer I get and the more pieces that are placed together the more I will be able to tell what the picture is…where the journey leads. “A journey of a thousand pieces leads to One.” is what I am being told. Thank you Archangel Michael…I do love you so.
