Spiritual reading — memories, the two-edged sword

August 25

We want to ask you to consider that which is unforgetable for you today. You might find that you are thinking of people, experiences, emotions, possibly places or things. Passages in your life.

.
Probably you will notice that those things which will not leave you in some ways define you.

.
This is in part how you build the edifice of your personality. This is in part how you come to know who you are in the world. But of course, in this era, it is also how you have come to limit, constrain and diminish yourself.

While there must be no violent partings from that which you believe to be yourself, today try to see more clearly how various memories which hold firm and vibrant for you may keep you from expanding into
something and someone greater.

There will likely be some things that are easy to see, obvious. “Ahhh,” you will say. “There was that time when….” And you will know immediately, if it is not already in your consciousness, how that memory confines you.

But there will be other memories, of moments or deep knowings which seem to have lifted you and brought the sacred into your world, your life, your very body, which appear to be about nothing but expansion.

Don’t send too much time puzzling over these—they are in fact great moments or experiences, and there was nothing in them which served to keep you in check.

It is, instead, the very act of remembering, of holding them in mind and heart, which restricts where you go in this moment. Whenever you attempt to make something fast, to tie it to you so that you can always
touch into it, then you become a prisoner, or perhaps a jailer who is no more free than her charge, holding the other end of that rope.

Today, we ask you to consider surveying your memories and looking at whether there are any with which you can dispense. Remembering is an act of will and intent as well as a cellular decision.

With will and intent, you can let go just as you can hold on.

We regret in some ways that we need ask you again to clean and clear. There is so much pressure for you to become a pure vessel. There is a need on a planetary level, and there is a great longing on an individual
basis. This is what is being asked of you: that you continue to polish and polish and polish.

There is little respite and there is little choice at times, but please understand that the very diamond nature of your being is at a last becoming visible — and now is not the time to balk. 🙂
