Live your life your way - with your Higher Self - in co-creation with Mother Earth. Accept your shadow side, look at it, understand it and love it into wholeness. It is time to balance; see yourself for who you truly are - look in the mirror. Forgive yourself for being less than the perfect one you were created as (ie) give over your belief system about yourself to, that which is greater than you, so that you can be purged, cleansed and again pristine in your beauty.

Remember you are a "spiritual being having a human experience" and it is now time to claim this in its entirety. You are a spiritual being. That is a given!!! You need do nothing to make this happen but realize it and accept it. Then you need to understand that you were given total freedom to come in and have the experience you needed to complete yourself so that you could reach this point in your time, wake up and say "It is enough. I have played the game and played it well. Now I see it and I call it for what it is. I wake up and choose to play it differently. I decide what I want and I let go of my having to make it happen. I allow the universe to work through me and for me, giving me the life I have, and the possibility of having so that I may be fulfilled, joyful and at peace with my world and all that are in it!"

Become quiet in your mind and still in your consciousness. Begin to reflect upon your life. As you remember when you were 2 years old, 6, 10, 14 and all the years to your present age, do not think of this as who you were. Think of those years instead in the context of, "What experiences was my soul having?" Rather than thinking, "Who am I?" "Who was I?" consider this question: "What was the experience my soul was choosing to have at that time?" When you reflect on something, reflect on how you experienced the experience. If there was pain in it, then resolve to take the pain into your heart, love it, and heal it. In that manner, you free yourself from identifying with the pain, and when you do not identify with the pain, you know your power; you know the reality of who you truly are and you recognize that the existence of your consciousness in this dimension is really not imprisoned within the experiences and preconceived pain of this world. That is how you free yourself... life on your planet is rapidly changing, and now you must recognize that you are not powerless. Step back and see the third dimension for the drama that it really is and know that it is a holographic projection from your soul.
