What is soothing for the soul is enjoyment



What is soothing for the soul is enjoyment.  How often do you do such a thing?  It is that small child within every human experience that throws tantrums and shakes and quakes with fear.  Here is the embodiment of illusion; it is called life on Earth.  At times it is not pretty, it is not sane, it is not loving, it is not who you are.  

But there is something called knowledge, which when lived as truth becomes wisdom. And, my children, you are equipped to deal and conquer very succinctly any challenges that befall you. Your strength and your love will carry you through.

Do not let so many things bother you

Do not let so many things bother you.  If you are the river, that which has formed in the illusion of solidity can be overcome in many different ways.  To recognize something as a block is to slow down one’s journey to be as heavy as that block.

Yes, we must slow down to recognize and to formulate an idea of overcoming such a thing, but to stay there, to become a block ourselves is a detriment, and to hold on to such a thing is an anchor in the sea, submerging in the world of illusion.

There are challenges that will arise, but what of it?  If indeed you are in, of, and as God, can God not conquer all lovingly?
