Soul Service: The desire v frustrations

A bit of background:

I think it is fair to say that once we become seekers of Truth, or 'life the Universe and Everything' as I call it. That is, the question of what we really are, why we are here and where are we going, then the next natural progression is wanting to be of service in some way.


We are a melting pot of old souls, new souls, not-of-Earth souls, all here to witness and partake in maximising this transition to positive 4th density experience. There are, of course, some who choose the negative path, but they are few and far between in comparison to those of good intent who actively help others whenever the need or opportunity arises.


Having been a Nurse and Midwife prior to my own (slow) awakening in 2004 when I embarked on my Reiki journey, service to others in other ways was a natural progression for me to make.


As seekers of Truth and our way Home to union with Creator, we have a deep and desperate desire to serve in ever greater capacity as we evolve our own souls. I am one who wishes to run before I can walk, patience is not my strong point! And I'm always being gently reminded this is not recommended and is, in fact, downright impossible in metaphysical law.


Our twists, turns and dead ends on our path of choosing a way of service to others is generally experienced by most of us from time to time. Quite naturally as we are changing every moment of every day and this is accelerated as we actively seek to grow our souls. As we change, so our service will change. One thing leads to another as they say.


As background to this section, I had thought I'd found my 'path of service' as a Reiki Teacher, comfortable in running my own teaching business as well as various groups for seekers to meet and have fun as well as do spiritual work together. Then after 7 years I was plucked away and sent to, as far as I could see, the 'Coventry' of Singapore, supposedly permanently with my husband. It was my worst nightmare, a large, high rise city with little original rainforest or green outdoor spaces left for connection to nature and to peace. I spent months asking 'why?' in rather frustrated manner.


However, as the Universe tends to know what it's doing in my experience (and in retrospect) The unfolding of my next level of learning presented itself very early on. It started with a chance meeting in my first month there with a lovely lady over a piece of Moldavite (Crystal for transformation) in Chinatown. This lead me to join her at an evening with Dolores Cannon, a well known regression therapist and teacher, and on further still to become a subject for one of Dolores' regression therapists. During the 3 sessions I experienced life in other dimensions and planetary spheres. It was quite enlightening and my last session was particularly powerful and I took a lot of persuasion to come out of it. In this one, my service had been assisting young souls transition from 4th to 5th density. I was encouraged by the therapist, who visited my home, to read a book that had been on my bookshelf in Uk for 2 years unopened (I found the religious wording, well, too religious!) The book was A Course in Miracles (acim) which had been given me by a dear friend and fellow seeker in UK. I knew this was my next step in both learning and, ultimately, my next port of call in service and I dove in gladly undertaking the lessons in the workbook. My search for more active service also lead me to attend other courses for various healing modalities whilst in Singapore, yet none felt 'right' or hit the spot, though I enjoyed experiencing each of them.


My time in Singapore gave me so many lovely new friends and experiences, taught me many, many lessons and, therefore, much practice with each lesson from the Course in Miracles, for which I am eternally grateful. After only one year we were unexpectedly back in UK in time for the Winter Solstice of 2012.


Q: 10/2/2020 Why was I plucked from what I considered a good way to serve others by teaching Reiki? (yes, I am disgruntled) How may I now serve for I feel I am regressing as I sit doing nothing 'practical' in service.


I'm lost, please help. Asking for a sign, I am given the vision of a sign post in the Falkland Islands full of signs toward various countries in different directions with the distances - ha ha, very funny. Am I doing the groundwork for something new? or having to repeat 'the year'?


A: All life and lives are groundwork, for growth is ongoing. Nothing is ever wasted, no time spent idly, even when you think it is. Having an easy life is not a marker for or of (spiritual) indiscipline or a 'wasted' life. ALL interaction is service, life as a lesson in itself, is service. You have chosen your path and your path will be given you, is always and without exception, given you all, based on your choices.


Speak your thoughts now.


Q: Am I here only to serve *** ? (my husband)


A: No, yet you are equal partners come to hone each other's skills (soul attributes) companionship and support team as each work upon their own lessons. Yet also a mirror for deeper learning.


You are here to learn/teach, not in your understanding or desire to serve as teach/learn. All teachers are first taught and then refined before becoming masters of their trade. All entities are both student and teacher. All flow toward and through perfect service and teaching, for all will teach prior to moving beyond its necessity completely.


Q: Thank you but my question remains of 'why Singapore' was it just A Course in Miracles? or was it a failing in appropriate service / teaching (Reiki) in UK? Was it progress or removal?


A: To focus on themes is wiser than focusing on the pain of your 'why' question which will not be known as relevant until the theme being recognised.


Q: 30/5/21 I am asking now not just for me but for all creation. Receiving is giving and giving is receiving, so how best may I help serve your service?


A: Do not seek service, or be concerned when you feel bereft of your ability to serve. You seek a particular avenue, yet we say to you simply surrender to the/your desire to serve (in a particular way) then you will find all avenues are open to you, for they are one in the same, they are mutual.


You are service

All creation is service


You simply make the choice to accept Creator's Truth and allow it to work through you. Or you turn your eyes away and seek your own form of service. For this is the freedom of will given you. Once the decision is made for Truth it will work through you, for you cannot stem its flow through a willing heart, for one who wills this Love and Light, for this is all that there is and you and I and all are One with It.


Q: So "let your love flow to all living things"


A: Yes, and yes, it is that simple for Love of this nature (Truth) is the Great Opener. The opener to the great and Greater Mystery of Creator/creation and the part played by all its parts in Unison. Open, know, and let it flow, and allow yourself to flow with it and it will carry you Home.


Q: Re service and my part in it now I've more of less retired (working only 3 or 4 days a month in a crystal shop) service to people and colleagues?


A: You are looking in the wrong places.


Q: How then to serve 'Truly'?


A: Love without reservation (firmly given!)


And Love will teach you True service. That which will entertain all that you experience, and who experience you, with the Law of Love and Light, the Law of our Creator/creation. For then they will see their way to their own true path of service through you. There can be no other way for those who seek. Think on this.


There is depth here you would do well to open your mind to receiving and we will aid in providing little by little until it is time (you are ready) to move on.


Q: On pondering the word 'evil' (or negative service) as found in many teachings. I don't like the word or even my thought of it.


A: That is because you have built it up to 'be' something that it isn't. See it as 'distance from God' (Creator's Truth) that is all. It is merely a choice not a 'thing' as part of the original creation. It arises from fear of lack and incompleteness which gives rise to survival over all else to gain power and immortality. A distorted view of the True Creation. Shine your own inner light brightly enough and it will disappear before your eyes for Creator's Law in Love. Truth, as you call it, is Love.


Focus instead on your own emission of Love and Light, your purpose (service) within this One Creation of which we are all a part and it will come easily to you and unfold itself before you, and you will then know, and you will then serve and be as was and is intended by Creator's Thought, Original, sustained Thought that is Love, beyond all thought, word or imagining.


Q: 31/8/2021 On learning the basics, 'back to basics' of service.


A: It is easy to forget one's true path and purpose in life is still solidly rooted in the more 'mundane' work of growing one's soul whilst weighted down in human body with all its inconsistencies and heavy, clumsy carriage.


Many would wish, or choose, to rise above the pain, fear and suffering of their own, and others burdenous lives. Yet it is here, exactly where you are treading, for the most part, heavy footed on a troubled Earth. These are not words intended to increase any heaviness of troubles. They are but are a description of that often experienced by the seeker who's desire is to 'run before they can walk' upon their paths or soul's journeys.


You are all here to experience your pre-planned life. Yet that 'blueprint' may be adorned with the bright colours and textures of a life well lived (skilfully) in Love, or the drab, sad hues of a less skilful life of one who has forgotten one's True Nature, that of our Divine Creator. All are in such great potential, all are 'wired' to our Creator. It takes but the flick of that Divine switch to awaken one to Truth and the beginning of their path of seeking and service.


Yours has now been switched on and this now leads you (and all other awakened souls) to greater service to Creator. You cannot serve others without serving your self and vice versa. When you give, you grow and when you grow you give, this is the Divine Order of soul growth. This is of the Law of One.


Yet from here, where you are, we recognise this is often difficult to see in such High Vision. Maintain the faith you know is within your heart and mind for you (do) believe in Love and the sacred power it contains that heals all Ills and, as quoted "makes all crooked places straight" ( words from White Eagle)


We send our envoys of Light to walk with you, illuminating your path, for you are One with us as we are with you.


Q: To look at 'Practice' as a way of living, being and service.


A: Practice is a word that is applied to many actions in your world and lives, associated primarily with the practicalities of a human life and vocation. One may practice a musical instrument for example, or practice a sporting venture, or your spelling of words and language, or times tables of basic mathematics. Yet Divine Practice is that of which we speak now, and that is the practice of service. They are truly virtually synonymous.


The practice of service is offered in every moment of your existence. As you sit now in your attempts to translate our offer of service to you, your pen in hand, conveying our energetic communications in frequencies unseen. Your skills yet to be more finely tuned, yet still this is your practice of service, for your intent to share with others is also your practice of service.


'To practice' may imply the lack of perfection that exists here, for if already perfect, future practice would be redundant. Yet it is known such perfection is not of this plane of existence, yet it is to that perfection you strive to grow, and this is achieved by service to all creation/Creator in Love and Light. This requires your dedication to practice the ways of Love and Light (as your service)


Each moment offers you this opportunity, whether in the context of a direct relationship with other beings or whether it be in that relationship with yourself or your world in quiet contemplation as you gaze at the vast skies above you or toward a rising or setting sun. For all living, being, thinking, doing, working and resting is your practice here. It cannot be otherwise for practice is service. Being part of and all creation is this, your service, to Creator.


We are 'creation Being'


Be so in Love and Light, for 'practice makes perfect'


Q: sorry, slight nausea and lack of focus on my part.


A: We sense your waning to our tuning now, so we honour your need and retire, leaving you once again our Love and Light with you to assist further contemplation.
