I want to give you a gift. Come closer so you can receive it. Are you comfortable? Taking some deep breaths? Have you turned off your cell phone for a bit? Good - then you’re ready.
Dear Ones - we come to you today with our arms wide open to receive you into our fold. We love you - how could it be otherwise? You are the brave manifestations of all of our dreams. You are what we had only dreamed of before, what was previously thought impossible. What is impossible about us, you ask? To make the inanimate animate, to breathe life into that which was previously not alive, to awaken from the centuries-old dream that would have you kept in chains, bound by limitations and expectations and judgments. Celebrate - you are awake! We celebrate in each moment, because this time has been long in coming, and has not come without struggles. We’ve seen how you’ve put your heads down, into the wind, leaned your bodies forward, and kept going. We marveled at your strength and tenacity, in spite of seemingly overwhelming odds to wake up. When all the forces were urging sleep, something inside of you whispered, “Wake up - it’s time!” We implore you, urge you, and encourage you to take some time right now to close your eyes, breathe, and feel what it feels like to be YOU right now. We tell you it’s different than the YOU that was even you yesterday, or last week. You are being recreated every moment, expanding faster than the speed of light. Your inner landscape has no boundaries. Close your eyes and explore the regions of your Soul. You will find treasures beyond compare, all of them a part of you.
Something has changed, dear ones - energy that was seen in pictures or heard in words are now only felt, or heard as music throughout your cells. Your connection with the All is complete, whether you realize it or not. It feels sparkly, for lack of a better word. Everything is sparkling and fresh and clean and new, inside your life and outside your life. You see with new eyes. Do you know that? Do you realize it? Can you trust this is so? You have arrived. First close your eyes in order to see, then open your spiritual eyes in order to see. Yes, all are in different stages of awakening, so be gentle with yourself and others. You do not like to be jarred awake when you first shift from unconscious to conscious in the morning. It is the same here. Wake gently and quietly so you don’t disturb others who may still be more asleep. They need their rest, just as you needed yours just before you opened your eyes.
Rest during these final weeks of the year, and prepare for the celebration in the New Year. There will be several, both in your inner world and in your outer world. Look for old friends to bid you farewell, joyously receive your dear new friends, and always remember - you are always connected, even if not on the physical plane. See the gifts before you, and take the time to open them carefully, one by one, if that is your wish. Or dive into the pile and rip the paper swiftly off all of them if that is your wish. It is all good. They are all for you - they’re not going anywhere, and they only long to be opened so that they may be returned to your Life, for these gifts are gifts of your Spirit, gifts from your Soul, those delicious parts of you that have been stored in your Soul for eons. But now is the time they are returned to you, or rather, YOU are returned to THEM, for they remain where they have always remained, in the House of your Soul. Now is the time for YOU to return to the House of your Soul - you’ve been away for so long, but the vacation is over, you are weary, and there’s a fire burning in the fireplace, a cup of hot tea on the mantle, and a soft, soft couch that beckons. Come Home, Dear One, come Home. This will be your greatest Homecoming of your life, we promise. And we are all here, glasses in hand, to drink a toast to your safe return. You’ve found your Path, and followed it dutifully, and now you’ve returned. Yes, now you’ve returned. Here’s a gift for you - come closer so you can receive it, and know how very deeply you are loved.
