The next day, during my meditation, the meaning was revealed to me.

“I Am the Father of your dream—no conception needed.”

“The birth is eminent—prepare to receive. Your labor is now—behold your new life.”

I have recieved messages just this clear for years–so I expected an answer.

You’re never too old, too broke or too anything to align yourself with the Source that is always calling you into full expression with It. If you don’t know what it is that is calling you, just the fact that you are trying to figure it out, means It is calling you. If you feel confused, empty, lost or diminished in any way, honor your feelings. Question them. Ask what it is that is trying to be expressed in you. You will be answered. Your discontent is your Cosmic alarm bell sounding off.

“Believe you are great—your existence is proof.”

You would not be here at this time in the history of the Universe without a perfect purpose for your life. That purpose is to become everything you were meant to be in your return to Love.

Out of personal introspection and inventory, we will find the seeds for a new direction, a new life. All of the zigging and zagging has been a progression towards uncovering our soul’s agreement for this lifetime. The stumbling blocks are actually stepping-stones, and the platform is not a diving board, but a launching pad in waiting!

“The seed of God is in us. Given an intelligent and hard-working farmer, it will thrive and grow up to God, whose seed it is; and accordingly its fruits will be God-nature. Pear trees grow into pear trees, nut seeds into nut trees and God-seed into God.” [Meister Eckhart]

Our lives will represent the rising of the phoenix if we allow it. Out of the fire and ashes of our crash and burn lives, we are offered a new beginning. And this Grace is offered over and over again. This mythical bird never comes out of its ashes despondent and dejected; it arises with great power and beauty, undamaged and strengthened by the flames of its self-created fire.

We don’t need to gaze upon the ashes of our burnt out dreams with a heavy heart. We are encouraged by the power of this timeless myth to rise up—to be re-birthed— into a new beginning, a new opportunity and sometimes, a whole new life.

If we can stay focused on the Good, we will find It. It is right here with us all the time. It has never left us.

A phoenix experience is the ulitmate change–a “dying” of the old, so the new can be born in and through you.
