As you know, there is a big difference between wanting and doing. When you connect with us, it is your active doing that comes to the fore. So many of your brothers and sisters are want to state their intention to do this and that, but when it comes to doing, they forget about it, especially when it comes to the more abstract things in their life where they lack reference values and experiences.
The first step is hard
As you noticed on your own journey, taking the first step into your inner world takes, guts, you would say, dedication and curiosity, we choose to say. There is nothing wrong with staying disconnected from one’s higher self, as this is purely a choice that each individual will make, but naturally the call of your soul cannot be ignored forever.
When the erstwhile sleeper becomes awake, he or she starts to wonder as to the lack of discipline in pursuing the awakening on a big scale. Of course it is convenient for the forces that you allow to control your lives, to have a mass of sleepers that are easy to manipulate, even when their voices might be loud and their opinions inconvenient to the controllers. There is a big difference between protesting against things that are seemingly forced on you and outside your control, and taking action in connecting to your own self.
When the masses on Earth start to realise that it is not the protests and the fights that get them to remember their inner sanctity, but the simple act of connecting into their heart, then it will be a quick ascension that you will see on Earth.
How can you help?
Focus on your own connection into your heart, teach others how to do this simple act and then step aside and let them discover their own path.
There is an innate curiosity within any human being that prompts all of us to explore, to experiment and to live what we call experiences. On a larger scale, there are what you would term long-term plans set on soul’s level, plans that persist across incarnations and individual lifetimes.
You will want to consider the implication of that: are you truly mortal, or is there a much higher, more purposeful way of living?
This is something your religions have tried to answer in their own ways. We do not see them purely as the control instruments that they have become, but there is an inherent purpose why they were created in the first place, and that is to answer these larger questions: what is my purpose, why are we here, how can I experience my all?
Questions throughout the ages
These are questions that have persisted throughout the ages and whilst few have lived their shining examples that persist through the ages – we are thinking here of the ones you know as Jesus the Christ, or the Buddha -, there are many other brothers and sisters that have lived their example for themselves. There is no lack of examples, but it is up to each individual to determine, is that something for me, or not.
Now, you find in your midst the quiet ones that do their work without hesitation, that help others to not only survive, but see them thriving. In your experience, these are the people that stay in the background, but be assured there are active players that take a higher profile and become visible. It is a narrow line between helping to follow one’s own calling and helping to please the ego.
Deal with your ego
Be aware that many so-called gurus and high-profile people struggle with that, and we recommend to think back to the exercise we have given you to deal with the ego. This is the starting point and it is a going to be an exercise to tame the ego. That will not stop.
As spoken, the ego was given to you for a purpose and it is up to you to understand this and to harness the power that arises from it.
Do not ever allow your own ego to dominate you, as this is a finely-tuned instrument that can be deployed in situations where action needs to be visible, and stay in the background, where love is the answer to all the questions of the moment.
Ego is necessary
In our world here on Planet of Beauty and Harmony we have overcome the need to please the ego through dedication and persistence, but that does not mean, that we do not have egos. We are however, very aware of the meaning and the purpose and we train ourselves to work with this instrument.
Nowhere in the universes and multiverses will you see ego completely absent. It is an aspect of self that helps us to grow and it is important to remind your fellow brothers and sisters on Earth of that, same as it is important that you yourself remember the lessons from that.
You are becoming a very powerful human being in your own right as you step along your path of remembering who you truly are. Be aware that this is something that does not require your ego, but humility, curiosity and forgiveness. Your own steps can be judged by yourself and others, but remember to stay out of judgement.
Does love please your ego, or do you live pure love?
Consider this in your own spare time: when the expression of love becomes visible, is it a question of pleasing the ego, or is it a question of living pure love?
When you remember your own inner being, your purpose in life starts to become clear and following your inner guidance will become much more natural. As you start to listen to your soul’s whispers, for soul has a habit of speaking mostly in gentle tones, you start to realise that you are drawn to your inner path like insects to the light.
Continue on your inner path
Allow yourself to continue on this path. It might not be hours and hours that you can spend on it, but mere seconds, minutes each day. As long as you keep heading in the very direction of your inner calling, you will realise that goal that you have set yourself as overarching destiny, the return to self.
With you there are many brothers and sisters that walk this path at their own pace, both on your planet and on many other planets across the universes. We are happy to provide some guidance as you know, but it is always going to be your own decision to walk and to continue walking on your path to self.
