Bring Some Joy In

Welcome, we are grateful to be with you again. We realize that your lives have many ups and downs, each one of you is in completely different circumstances. Even if you were raised as neighbors of the same age, found similar jobs in similar industries in the same area, you could still be living lives that had nothing in common other than your history and your employment. You are so much more than your history, you are so much more than your job, so much more than where you live. There is so much more to each of you than what you present to the world and even to what you can see. Your science has recognized that there is much that goes on that you are not able to recognize or see. Your sight is limited so as not to overtax your brain. If you were able to notice every little movement, if you had to control with thoughtful intention every move you made, your ability to walk, talk, write, just function in life, would be very restricted. There are parts of you that you may not be willing to look at or may not even remember that certain events and happenings have occurred in your life. For anyone to be able to remember every second of their life would just require more brain cells than what is available for you to actively remember, and still function in your current everyday life. You have been taught to function within a linear time format. Your brains have adjusted, and it is what you are comfortable with. There are other ways of looking at life. In some cultures, they do not have the alarm clocks, they do not have the set schedules, they follow what is needed at the time. Some might consider that part of a primitive lifestyle but there are ones who are choosing to live that way now. There is much stress on your bodies, your emotions, your mind when you are forced to work from this time to that time, to eat from this time to that time, to occupy yourself for two hours, then go to bed, get up, repeat. We know that for many of you to provide for yourself and your family or others you need to work within this linear time frame. It is part of your culture and as long as you stay enmeshed in that, it will remain part of your culture. We are not suggesting that anybody get up from their desk, walk out of their job, and go sit in the forest and quietly meditate for the rest of their days. Unless that's truly what you feel that is what you are supposed to do. We say that with a slight smile.

We would suggest you take advantage of the time that is available to you. We know that it seems like you have forever, and does your being your inner being live forever, yes. But for this lifespan there is a time limit. All of you will at some point leave your physical bodies behind. There are some things you get to enjoy as a human that you will not be able to enjoy in the same way when you are in spirit. It is a different sensation when you are here and able to greet the sun and then have a new day to have a new opportunity to choose how you want to live. There are many beautiful things, places, adventures that are available to you here on this planet that you can't find elsewhere. Even if in the cosmos there is another planet, that has exactly what you have here, it would still be different due to what the environment has done on that planet along with the beings that inhabit it. We want to remind you with all of this, that you are meant to have some joy in your life. That there is much more to life than just pursuing the things that are required.

And for each of you there are different things that bring you joy. Maybe your joy is hiking the mountains, swimming in a lake, going to an amusement park, curling up with a good book, creating artwork, writing poetry, spending time sharing meals with friends, spending time with family. There are many different ways to enjoy life here, we are suggesting that you take advantage of as many as you can. Not as a forced thing. I must enjoy my life! No, we are suggesting that you truly feel into what makes you feel happy, what brings you joy, and find ways to do more of it. If you are not doing things that bring you joy now, see if you can bring an hour or two every week into your life. And as you start to notice that you are fed by these things that bring you joy, then you will increase your desire to have more. There are many ways to spend your life on this planet. Please realize that you all have options. You can continue exactly as you are, some of you may be very happy just as you are, but for those of you that aren't, we ask that you take the time to come up with three things that really bring you joy that you can start to enjoy even now. It may be as simple as making sure you're the one that takes the dog for a walk in the park where it's quiet and it's just you (and) nature along with the happy pup. Maybe it's something much more exciting, maybe it's that speed boat trip that you need to take. This planet is so full of possibilities allow yourself to explore some of them.

We love you, we are grateful to be able to share our messages with you, and we are always, always with you. Thank you.
