16. Are we branded with our Soul intentions?


Q I was reading a book, and I believe you stated you had a soul agreement coming into this physicality to do this. And I think you said we could change the intentions when we get here, is that correct?

A "Soul intention" that's a very big word. And yet, when you realize that as you stand here in this physical body, you did not just begin. In other words, the Consciousness that is You is much older than the amount of time that it has been focused in this physical body. And so, when you understand that you did not just begin with this body, then you understand that the Consciousness that is You must have had all kinds of intentions.

And those intentions were much about coming forth into physical expression. They were about being in this body. They were about exploring the contrast. They were about concluding new things. They were abou t allowing Source Energy to come through. They were about the joyful expansion of the Universe through the perspective that is you.

And so, yes, you held all kinds of intentions before you made the trip into this physical body. But the thing that we really want you to realize about that is that that Nonphysical intent, from your physical perspective, is rather general in nature, usually. It is an intention of being joyful. It is an intention of having satisfaction. It is an intention of finding harmony. It is the intention of eager anticipation. It's the intention of feeling good in life. It's the intention of experiencing joy. That is the reason that you come forth.

Not one of you came forth to fix something that was broken, or to reconcile something that had gone wrong before. All of you come forth knowing that you never get it done, and that you cannot get it wrong. And so, you come forth looking for the opportunity to have more things of interest.

It's no t so different than the way you feel in your physi body. In other words, you come to a gathering like this because you want to be stimulated in thought. You go to a movie because you think it might be entertaining or stimulating in thought. Don't you just love it? You remember being a youngster, and it was your birthday, or some holiday when you were going to receive some presents. And do you remember that the ones that you always liked best were the ones that you could go get involved in in some way? It was something to put together, or something to contemplate.

The nature of your being in this body, and even before, the nature of your being is to focus and find satisfaction in the focusing. And so, oh, this time/space reality, it appeared before you as this best of all creative endeavors. In other words, you could not think of a more exhilarating experience than to focus in this time/space reality, because you knew of the terrific balance of thought. You knew that you would be stimulated. You knew that desire would be born within you. You knew that you would have a Guidance System that would guide you. You knew that some of the hardest times would result in some of the best of times.

In other words, you said, Oh, let me at it! I can't wait to get my hands¦thoughts, around that clay. And so, then, when you come into this physical body, you have absolute choice. And that's what you were referring to. Sometimes people believe that they've been assigned something. For example, someone might say to Esther, âWell, it was predetermined even before your birth that you would be a speaker for Abraham. And so it is necessary that you sacrifice your life experience. In other words, you should have seen Esther before she began speaking for Abraham. Her life was very, very different.

When Esther and Jerry came together, they were living happily ever after. And the way they were living happily ever after was making sure that they were in some lovely place doing some lovely thing all day every day. Their life was about traveling, and Es r would have told you her life was about shopping. Their life was about being together. Their life was about making love and being in love, and being someplace lovely while they were doing all of that.

They were not out to conquer the world"they were living happily ever after. And so, here comes Abraham. And some might say, Oh, well, now Esther has sacrificed all of that in order to be on the road, live in a bus, go from city to city, spread the seeds of Well-Being.â And we say, they're still living happily ever after. In other words, the format of their life is very different, but they are still dramatically, even more so than before, living happily ever after.

It's not about what you do, because there is no specifics that are required in order to satisfy the living happily ever after. In other words, there are endless ways that you can follow your bliss and discover your joy. And there is not one right path. There are many, many paths. And you said as you ca me forth into this body, I will find a path.

And you didn't say, When I find that path I will stay on that path forever more. You said, I will come forth and will find a path, and I will find a path, and I will find a path, and I will find the path, and I will find the path, and I will find a path, and I will find a path that will lead me in lots of different directions, and it will take me into lots of different places, and it will introduce me to lots of different people, and it will be the reason for lots of different joy. But it was not specific. You said,My internal Guidance System will lead me to the specifics.

So, what is your internal Guidance System leading you toward? Oh, you're really going to like this: The guidance within you, the calculation that is being made is, what is the most likely, most fulfilling, most satisfying use of this moment in time? That's what your Guidance System is always guiding you toward. Look this wa y. Look into this child's eyes. Ride on the elev r with this one. Go this way. Drive in this lane of traffic. Stop here. Go here. Eat this. Think this.

In other words, it's always guiding you toward the greatest probability of fulfillment that you are willing to allow in this moment. Good guidance. Not specific. Those choices are all yours. And, oh, what fun it is to be in a physical body where things aren't quite as good as you'd like them to be, and you feel the aggravation of that and out of that, bubbles a desire or a preference for something different.

And to be a student of Deliberate Creation where you are aware of that angst, so that you are consciously aware of the birthing of this desire, so you birth this desire, and now you're consciously saying, Hey, I've got this desire and I'm not there yet, but I've got this desire. And when I think about this desire, I'm not there very often, but when I think about this desire, I feel better even though I'm not there very often. But I'm gett ing there more and more often. And when I think about it I feel good, even though I sometimes don't think about it.

And to be in that place where you are consciously molding that clay and recognizing I'm doing that thing I do, now I'm allowing Source Energy. I'm doing that thing I do, now I'm allowing Source Energy.” And to feel yourself getting clearer and clearer, and clearer, only takes a couple of days, maybe not even that long, and then the Universe delivers to you a culmination, a manifestation, and you can feel the results of your motion forward. In other words, you can feel that this moment in time was about those thoughts, and you actually feel your rogress.

And then you stand in this new place, satisfied for a moment, feeling satisfaction about the deliberateness of your life experience, and now, you are in this invigorating place with new things to contemplate; new things to think about; new things to be stimulated about. And new things to an tagonize you into yet another desire, and then tha onscious awareness of Hey, this is an idea and I'm not yet up to speed with it.” And then a deliberate bringing yourself up to speed with it, with each moment giving you those sensual feelings of being in alignment or not, in alignment or not, in alignment or not.

Can you feel the control of the molding of this Energy? It's much more satisfying than having your hands in clay, although it's very much like that. And then feeling yourself clicking into place, where you feel the movement. And this time you're clearer about it because you've had that last conscious experience where you almost knew it then, but now you really know it and you're able to viscerally feel.

Oh, I could feel I was on the brink of something,and bam when it happens, oh! What an exhilarating thing that is. When it happens, and you saw it coming, and you knew it was coming. You sniffed it out, you knew it. You're almost beside yourself, because this is a moment that you put the garbage in the can. Or that you bought the winning lottery ticket. Or that the love of your life walks through and your eyes met, and you knew. In other words, it does not matter what the subject, you can feel when it happens.

And now, here you are on this new platform, with more desire that is bubbling, and more exposure to more experience. And another rocket of desire. A constant molding, until before you know it, you have such sense of security and Well-Being. It never enters your mind that you cannot achieve anything that you desire. It's just a matter of being stimulated to the thing that makes you desire.

And so, now, instead of being afraid of contrast, you are eager about contrast. You're loving, you're willing to explore the world, you're looking for things to think about, because you love being on that leading edge. You love that feeling of the new desire being born within you. You're no longer wanting to go off and hide in your cave, afraid that thi ngs might stimulate you in some way that will set off balance. You know you're up for it. You know you're a powerful creator. You know you can control your thoughts. You know you can tell the difference between thoughts that feel good, and thoughts that feel bad. You know you have the self-discipline to choose.

And now, you are out there in a bigger arena, with more exposure to more experiences that are giving birth to greater and greater rockets of desire. And you know you're up for this rocket. You could feel it coming. You know you're not there, but you know you're up for giving birth to it, and you can feel it when it happens. And you know you're not a Vibrational Match to it, but you know you can be a Vibrational Match to it, because you've had the experience of not being a Vibrational Match to things before, and bringing yourself into vibrational harmony with it.

And you've got all kinds of tools in your pocket, all kinds of ways of going about it. And so, you bring yourself into vibrational harmo ny with this desire. And when this one manifests, oh, it is a glorious experience! It is so far from any place that you've ever been before, you see. And now you stand in this new platform with all of this new contrasting experience. And now, everything's bigger than it's ever been before. And much of the world is looking at you in amazement, because you've come so far so fast. You don't feel that what you've achieved is any big dealâ€"you've just had such a very good time in the achievement of it.

It begins to not matter what it is or where it is or who it is or how big it is, or how much it is. It's the process that is turning you on. It's the feeling of knowing that you're in control of your own experience. And then your Inner Being is pouring through you saying, “Yes, this is what I've been telling you all along. Life is good everywhere you look. There are not bad places and good places, or even better places and better places. What there is, is glo rious life experience everywhere you will allow yo elf to feel it. Yes.

We have enjoyed this interaction immensely. There are no words that can begin to explain to you the appreciation that those here feel for that which you are about. Take great satisfaction in your perfect place on this leading edge"and follow your bliss.

There is great love here for you. We are complete.
