Yesterday I channeled another message from Caroline.

The question I asked her was related to what’s going on in my life right now. You’ll find the message quite  appropriate for understanding what you must begin to do and to see to take advantage of the multitude of opportunities that present themselves to you.

Enjoy!

This is not complicated. Definitely not as complicated as you might think it is.  Perception, oh perception, it can be tricky from the vantage point to which you sit.

You are sitting on top of a huge mountain. You are sitting on the peak. And yet because of its height you may be afraid to turn around. From the peak you only look down at what’s in front of you. And so you only see things from that single angle.

That does not change the fact that you can see everything going on around you that will benefit you. It only means that you have made a choice to look down and see that one section in front of you.

Stand up! Turn around! Look at the vast view the Universe has given you. Look to your left. Look to your right. You will begin to notice things that you may not have seen or given much attention to in the past.

That is how you advance your situation. You advance your view. You make a choice to observe that which may you may have not observed in the past.  In this way you can be led to putting ideas together.

For you this may mean taking on projects and assignments that may seem contradictory to what you’ve done in the past.  This might mean taking a completely different approach to the way you handled your business in the past.

The direction that you currently look in is quite boring to you. It feels like work. When work didn’t feel like work you were able to advance. And you were able to do so quickly and easily. Everything slid into place for good reason.

At that time you had gotten up and changed your position while sitting on the peak of the mountain.  That’s why it all flowed for you as quickly as it did.

And now it’s time again to rise up. To turn around, to look left, to look right, to look up, to look behind you. To see it all. Not just taking it in from the single vantage point.

Once you do, the path to everything you desire will become abundantly clear for you. Everything will begin to click. Like the puzzle pieces finally sliding into place. And the work becoming like play again.

A few weeks ago I wrote about a nun who I had recently started channeling. Her name is Caroline and you’ll probably be hearing more from her over the next few weeks.

Yesterday I transcribed a message from her which describes why we may find certain situations in life so difficult. Enjoy!

People often think that they are here on earth to learn a lesson. Would you be shocked to know that there are no lessons?

People continue to attract the same type of person or situation over and over again because they like that particular situation. Even when it is destructive, it is comfortable. Think of it like an old, comfortable pair of slippers. With no feet in the slippers they stink. As soon as a foot goes in the smell goes away and the comfort begins.

Is it understandable to you that you have a choice? Of course. It is understandable to others that they have choices too.

People do see the vastness of what the world offers. And yet they make an active decision to remain in situations that perhaps pockets of humanity see as damaging or destructive.

It’s not about conquering the bad habit of attracting the same destructive situation or person. It’s a matter of simply deciding that you want something else. You have a choice. And if you want something different it is your responsibility to choose something else.

Just as many religious people create a God in their image, who is not forgiving, who is angry, who must be appeased with prayers and strict living – the spiritual people (who claim not to be religious) create a God who says, “You must go through Olympic-sized trials in order to realize a lesson!”

Thus spiritual people look at the religious people with disdain. They spiritual people cry, “Can’t they see that God is not some awful hater? He is filled with love!”

And then they (the spiritual seekers) turn around to reveal that God has given them these tough grueling lessons that they must overcome.

God is no more an angry punishment giver then he is a sadistic test giver. The only thing God has done is give us choices. And perhaps that is the hardest part of being human. Truly not having anyone to blame in the matter because we do have choices.

So today – and this might be tough – take a good hard look at the choices you have made. Realize they are not your lessons. They are your choices.

And if you don’t like them, it is up to you to choose again.  And possibly again, and again, and again. Choose until you have reached the Garden of Contentment. And when you get bored, choose again. And when you get weary of that scene, choose yet again.

Placing the blame on your destiny or your past lives is the easy way out.

Having the strength to choose exactly what you want is the stuff that legends are made of.
