Hello to you all.  Here we are at the crux of the Mayan calendar with the upcoming Solstice, Christmas, Hanukkah, and chaos in Connecticut and Afghanistan where the innocent seemingly become victims, and us left wondering where it will all lead.

     We stand at a gateway in each and every one of our lives at this moment, and it is your choice what vibration you choose, what thoughts you have, what words you speak that will determine how you will walk through this gateway on the Solstice.  It is easy to be in anger and hold thoughts of despair when the news brings us what it has this past week.  But anger only fuels more anger and despair will not solve anything.  Love and compassion are the only vibrations that will change the anger and despair and turn it around.

     I would ask you to stretch your mind in order to perhaps see things from a different perspective.  It is difficult in this dimension of density to see beyond the body, the material, and duality such as good and evil, up and down, in or out.  However, the soul sees beyond all this into the truth.  So for a moment, shut out any feelings of anger, despair, justice seeking, or hopelessness, and look into your soul for answers.

     It is said, and becoming understood and believed, that the soul plans its purpose before it comes into form.  There are times when groups will get together as a collective to do this as well.  This is what I understand from my soul’s perception.  No matter how heinous things are in appearance, there has been a soul’s choice, or in the case of Connecticut or Afghanistan, a collective choice, to have such a thing happen.  And because the soul is immortal, there is no such thing as death, only in the appearance of form, which is transient and a vehicle for the soul to bring its message to this world.  The soul sees its human life as temporary.  Do not think me callous, but our bodies to our souls are rather like our cars are to us – when they have served their purpose, wear out, or we tire of them, they get traded in for new ones.  Such is the body.  It is the soul that carries on with relationships and love throughout many lives, as love is all the soul knows and is.

     Even in knowing this, it does not help the grief or trauma of those involved in any tragedy, but thoughts from the heart and soul will heal the wounds faster and in a better way.  Instead of pointing fingers at who is to blame as an individual, a parent, a system that isn’t working, perhaps we need to ask ourselves why would a group of souls bring such a thing unto themselves, including the shooter, and their families.  If you come up with the answer for the highest good of mankind, you are seeing through the soul’s eyes and not human eyes.  It is incidents such as these that unite us, that allow us to experience compassion and oneness instead of separateness.  It is always the disasters that bring the best out in people, bring out the prayers, the helping hand, and the generosity.  Perhaps the lesson is that if we did this on a daily basis and treated all as brothers and sisters, these disasters would end, for the lesson would be learned.  It is something we bring to ourselves for our souls to grow into the love that they are in truth, and to bring our consciousness into that same focus.

     And so, with thoughts of love and compassion, I wish you all, dear brothers and sisters of the One, to love one another, to love this planet we share, to look beyond appearances before casting judgment into what might be our own lessons, to share what you have in order to open yourself to even more abundance, to give love freely from the heart without conditions attached, and to move through this gateway on the Solstice with joy in your heart, which will raise up the vibration of this entire planet.  Love is all there is, so express it whenever the opportunity arises, even if it is merely to touch someone upon the arm without words, just compassion.  And hold all those suffering through grief and trauma in the Light – wrap your love around them and wish them peace in their hearts.

     Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Yule, and Joyous Solstice, or whatever words you use to express a kind and loving sentiment for this season.  And may peace and love prevail in the new year and into the new Mayan cycle of this world.

Love and Blessings,

Magdrael and friends of the Higher Realm
