Soul Tree

I had occasion to speak with my guardian angel not long ago.  Usually, I go visit him Elsewhere but this time, he came to visit me.  That was different.  So, it went something like this:

Me:  Deep in meditation just almost to that point I could escape my body...One more deep breath as I was about to let go and I stopped.  I felt an energy approach and so listened more acutely (eyes still closed).  My guardian angel had appeared accompanied by a few others right there in my bedroom.  I was shocked but smiled as I had not seen him on Earth before (at least not that I am aware of).  When I finally gained my senses, I spoke, "Fancy meeting you here.  Why are you here, I was just coming to see you."

"Well, just as you sometimes appreciate a change in venue, so do I," Aaron said with a smile.

"Of course, how silly of me I," I said with a giggle.  "I'm glad you are here.  I was just thinking about something and I wondered what thoughts you might be able to share with me on a certain topic."

"If I can, you know I will.  If I can't, I will give you some puzzling evasive answer you'll have to discern for yourself," He said with a smile.

"Okay, the question is this:  If we are perfect exactly as we are and our souls are all seeing and all knowing, then why on Earth are we here on Earth at all?  If we were truly all knowing, all seeing and there is no time with our souls...if a piece of our souls remains always and ever connected to Source which is the truth, the only truth, why would we ever need to experience life here in a very restrictive and dense body, with dense consciousness bound by gravity so dense we can hardly move?"

"Well, that's quite a question you've got there and one I don't think I'll have to go immediately for the evasive to fend you off and spin you thinking into yourself.  That one I think I can answer for you.  Consider life as a human child for a moment, you fix a scene in your mind, gather your friends to you and you play house, or hospital or school.  You know it isn't really real but you pretend for a while for the fun and experience of it. Children are such naturals at this because they know that life is just pretend.  In terms of the multiple connections and dimensions you referenced in your own way, everything is in different levels - you are not limited to a single incarnation, time or are you limited by linear time sequences.  Past lives only seem like past lives.  Your consciousness moves where ever its focus needs to be and is not limited by time or space.  What you call experiences are actually the fringe elements of your soul...your soul is your higher guide, your essence and the culmination of all of your experiences but your memories lie on the very edges of focus.  You cannot recall them all at once as you actually represent only one branch of a tree, if you will.  All of the branches of a tree are on the tree but each has a different experience.  Some branches are in the shade, some are reaching for the sun, some twist and turn into each other, some bear blossoms and fruit while some bare nothing at all...but all are part of the tree.  The tree's consciousness is aware of what happens at the level of the wholeness of it's being but the branches are the feelers that reach out with purpose and then they do what branches do.  If a branch really put effort into it and became aware of itself, it could aspire to become aware of its beingness in relation to the other branches, it could also become aware of the trunk, the roots, the rings, the air, the ground it is connected to and the environment it is interconnected to and dependent upon.  Does the picture start to become a little more clear," He asked.

"I suppose so and I get what you're saying.  We all stem from the tree - the tree being our soul...the environment is the space we exist within and the root system is the ether through which we tap into the Oneness of Source and the environment that supports us and Source.  But, the framework continues to grow from this very gross oversimplification for my limited understanding, doesn't it," I asked rhetorically.

"You are feeling more of the truth right now than you can find the words to express and this frustrates you.  I can see the colors around you shifting wild now between emerald green and amber from their normal blue and violet.  Am I right," Aaron asked.

"You know you are but I cannot articulate a single word just now.  Did you come just to riddle me into oblivion with metaphors or was their another reason that you came," I asked.

"You were doing something when I arrived that actually called us to you.  You were facing emotions as if you let loose the floodgates of a dammed up overdue body of water ready to flow.  But you were completely peaceful and were just watching the emotions and they all started to surface and yet you never flinched emotionally speaking.  You let them rise to the surface without attachment realizing a part of you understands everything even if the you that was in that moment experiencing could not see the whole.  You became an aware part of the tree, and that is what called us to you...smiling and so very happy for you.  We came to encourage you and to let you know we are here," Aaron said.

"Thank you dearest angel and your friends I can see but do not yet know.  I assume at some point they will materialize more clearly so that I can see them better...either that or I shall learn to open my vision to their vibration perhaps," I said feeling so happy.

In Your Dreams

Last night I celebrated my own kind of independence.  Not from anyone but from many things that I had come to rely on as truth but in reality they were born out in the light as provisional or maybe even relative.  It hurt for a moment but sometimes the reveal isn't always pure joy.  Sometimes it is very serious and drives deep into your core your own misguided thoughts and previous actions leading to wholly undesirable outcomes.  But maybe they were not undesirable at all.  Hmmm, I think I've learned that every experience we have in life, we ourselves, have called to us for reasons we don't remember, can't recall and maybe don't even want to know about in advance.  If we knew how things would turn out, we might not engage and what then?  We'd miss a lesson with a trusted soul or souls who have come to assist us in ways we just couldn't comprehend.  I sight at the thought feeling the reality with every breath.

Cool, that's great, so now what.  There are times in life that we must get very still and quiet.  Know that unconscious creations stemming from a place of pain, ignorance, doubt and fear will draw to us lessons in the seemingly negative.  Nothing is really good nor bad in the total scheme of things but they can feel that way.  Conscious creation from a place of understanding, love and wholeness calls to us a whole different host of experiences.  I've learned the difference in many areas and facets of my own life and have tested my own theories and the bear out as truth.  Even when I do not wish to see what stands right before me.  I laugh a little at the process, the seeming game we play while we're dreaming.  But, that moment we become lucid in this dream of life and begin to question not why someone else has done this or that but why WE have done what we've done, the game changes and the dream becomes deep and more ethereal in terms of meaning.

I love that about life...there are many "reveals" standing before us like miracles begging to be validated by our own attention to them.  I'm still shaking my head with the knowledge and understanding.  This dream of our lives we have created is for us to enjoy, not to struggle indefinitely with.  When you stand up straight in the darkest parts of the dream, call to yourself all of your Source-given faculties and trust you implicitly, the scene changes as do the specters and shadows and visitors who come with messages great.  I love the ethereal and mystical so much.  The out of the ordinary makes me smile in ways most may not understand.  The game changing happenings and unexplainable occurrences are a pure joy to behold.  Our time incarnate is so short...we briefly dream and then return, elsewhere and then who knows what - reconnect with loved one's and beginning planning the next adventure?  Last night in a dream I was shown a garden, I was allowed a brief visit "home" and immediately upon arrival, all of those things I struggle to comprehend slipped deeper into my core with greater understanding.  I arrived tense and troubled and as I stood in the garden and felt the elation of reconnecting with loved ones I have come to treasure due solely to the pure and unadulterated love they brought me, the healing rippled through all time, all space and all dimensions.

I was awakened by a crow outside my window quite insistent on being heard.  His assertions brought my sleeping mind to life again and I noticed I had left yet another few things behind me...the heaviness of days gone by no longer wrapped around me like a damp blanket.  The warmth of the sun had arisen in my soul and a smile in the darkness knowing this day, this beautiful day on Earth would be well spent in observation, understanding and pure bliss.  I'm grateful.  Thanks be to my guardian angels and guides who have watched over me and nudged me farther towards opening my heart and mind so wide that there is no way that I will misunderstand again.  In gratitude and deep love, I thank them.  I pray you encounter greater understanding on your journeys, that you are met with nothing less than impeccable actions and no less than miracles.  Be aware of them and you will see them everywhere, even in your dreams.
