Dear Kathy,

Thank you as well, for the Lights of your Love, and (speaking for all) also for your willingness in sharing them with everyone, everywhere.

Kathy,

That was very well said.   My problem with the notion of the Earth School of hard knocks is not knowing that we are here to conquer fear - to stop acting out of fear, but joy.  That part, the knowing makes sense.

But wipe my memory, put me in a society of fear, anger and violence and I start from scratch.  Why can I not learn in this life the lessons of conquering fear?  If I go back to school, as it were, why do I go back without my learning and experience from this lifetime?

One can say "if you go back with no memory, then if you act out of love you will really mean it, instead of intellectually knowing it."  However, there are too many variables present on Earth.  Too many energies interacting. 

This is the fundamental flaw in reincarnational thinking.  The idea that we come back again and again to "get it right," though our memories from prior attempts are gone (along with the knowledge we gained from them). 

I prefer to think that while a voluntary reincarnation may be possible to achieve an end, that it is not mandatory.  If my spirit can evolve here and now, it can continue to evolve without a body in a heaven or astral realm.  I may be of service to others there as well.

Still, Kathy's statement about conquering fear, not just avoiding it is so important.  For those of you who don't understand it, keep it in mind if you find yourself in a difficult or fearful situation.  Then it will have meaning.

Hi Matthew,

As we each peregrinate through life we are continually drawn inward toward the discovery of an ultimate journey of contemplation deep within the center of our being known as our deepest spiritual longing.  All of our desires, even though seemingly unrelated lead us on our life path for the fulfillment of the purpose for which we were born.  This is why I see that it makes no difference whether we have conscious memory of knowing or not knowing we are here to dissolve fear.  Memory is built into us in the form of our deepest longings.

This spiritual longing originates from a deeper dimension within each of us and is connected to all of our personal desires that lead us to the choices we make throughout life.  It is this deep inner spiritual longing that gives us all the tools necessary to keep us on our chosen path and helps us to fulfill our life’s purpose.
 
The work of transformation is to move our awareness into the inner landscape of our being in a process of discovery.  We each are drawn to continually travel into this inner landscape of consciousness throughout life.  We have traversed the inner burrows that lead us into the darkness so that we may move further into the light at the end of the tunnel.  Through this process we enter into new gateways in which we ascertain more love, more understanding, greater integrity, enhanced personal power and purity of innocence within the consciousness of self.
 
As we each move through this lifelong process of transformation we may not be aware of our deepest spiritual longing, but it makes its way through the inner shadows of our being and emerges as the desires of our personality.  Our human needs and desires are the reflection of our deeply held spiritual longing within.  It is the creative impulse spurred by the affinity of consciousness seeking fulfillment within self, the creative pulse of life itself.

As the inner longing held within our consciousness traverses the landscape of physical manifestation, our personality yearnings can become distorted and out of alignment with our deeper spiritual longing that lays within our deeper purpose.  When this occurs, our physical being manifests feelings of frustration and dissatisfaction because of the lack of synchronicity between the personality desires and the deeper desire of our inner self to complete the spiritual work it came here to accomplish.

Desires that rest on the surface of consciousness is not what gives us the inner discord and feelings of meaninglessness in our life.  Rather, it is from the lack of fulfillment of the deeper spiritual longing that manifests the friction we feel.  Our personal endeavor, then, is to seek to find the root cause of conflict between the desires of personality and those of our spiritual longings to understand them so that we may transform them into a betterment of alignment with our life purpose.

By so doing we transform the consciousness of personality to where we are better equipped to settle into the deeper purposes we’ve set and let go of the desires of the personality that are in conflict and do not synchronize with those of our life task.  To accomplish this we must seek out to understand our genuine needs by allowing the feelings of those longings to surface so that these real needs can be fulfilled.

Sometimes it is difficult for us to allow our deepest longings to come forth into our consciousness.  Perhaps we have suppressed these needs for so long that we have forgotten what they were.  If so, then think back to when you were a child and remember what it was that you had always longed for.  Perhaps you longed to be a doctor, or a fireman, an painter, or a father.  Where is it in your life that these longings have been fulfilled?  In what ways have these longings been suppressed and therefore have gone unaccomplished?

What is it that you have always been interested in or have loved and yearned to do?  Perhaps it was an art class or math class in school that you had excelled in.  Whatever it is that surfaces ask yourself how you have not yet fulfilled these longings that have always existed deep inside of you.  What is it that you have always wanted to accomplish, yet see that the fruition of this has not yet been created in your life?

It’s possible that you may come up with several things that you have longed for.  Be sure to keep this list simple, yet very profound so that you can be sure you are allowing your deeper seeded longings to surface and become clear in your mind.  It is the deep inner longings that are connected to our life’s spiritual purpose.
 
Once you have clarity of your deepest yearnings begin to visualize ways in which these deeper needs may be fulfilled and take this clear visualization and seed it deeply into the center of your being.  From this inner place of knowledge and vision ask, how have the choices you have made served to fulfill or not fulfill your deepest longings?  What choices can you make that will serve to synchronize the desires of personality with your inner spiritual desire?  In what ways can you seek to fulfill the needs of your spiritual purpose?

As you continue to move into yourself and allow your consciousness to expand with the awareness of the totality of your being you will begin to experience an inner connection to the great unfolding plan of salvation as it continues to unfold over the face of the earth, intensifying and bringing with it greater understanding and clarification of the processes of the movement of consciousness.
 
We are an intricate piece within this plan or we would not be here upon the earth in this moment of time.  In this we are both the observer and the creator.  We are not simply a part of a pattern of the movement of consciousness we are the entire pattern itself.
 
And each of us has brought with us the inner consciousness of what we came here to accomplish and heal through the fulfillment of our life task and this is directly connected to the desires of the personality.  As we heal the distortions of self, so does the earth heal herself.  It is the continual process of our deeper intelligence and consciousness perpetually grasping itself into higher and higher levels of consciousness in which individualized consciousness contributes to and affectively changes the whole of consciousness.

In order to fulfill the inner spiritual longing in life, it becomes a matter of finding the parts of us where shadows and distortions have been created, where we have not yet met the needs our deepest desires and then synchronizing our personal desires with our original spiritual longing that rests deeply within the center of our being.  It is when our personal desires are clear and unblemished that they become the manifestation of our deeper held spiritual longing.

Essentially all of us have a deep yearning within, a longing to know who we are from the consciousness of our true inner self.  We all have the desire to allow the expression of our divine core to up well and go forth into our lives in every way possible.  That is to express the true love that is the ground of our being.  We all long to create from the divinity within us, however, what each of us chooses these creations to be are different for each of us as individuals.  While we each share in many of the same needs from a human perspective, the need for healing the patterns created on an individual basis varies.  Yet all of these become an interchange of feedback between individual consciousness and the whole of consciousness.

Let’s say, for example, that an individual doesn’t have an intimate relationship with another person, but wants one.  This person feels a longing and has a personal desire to meet a personal need.  Underneath this personal expression and need is a deeper spiritual longing for communion and affinity for spiritual relationship with the inner self.

It is by allowing the feeling of that longing to come into focus and by allowing the self to actually feel the pain of loneliness, despair and all the other feelings attached to it, and then by allowing these feelings to flow through the self, that we then are able to open our heart and create the space to allow what we desire to come to us.

As this individual allows the self to experience this darkness discovery is made.  The person learns how they have been preventing the creation of relationship and confusion is banished, so out of the darkness comes forth light and understanding.  Out of the emptiness arise the beginnings of perception of what this individual may need to do to be open to and create this relationship in their life.

What is oftentimes seen are the ways in which an individual prevents his or her self from creating and fulfilling their deepest longing.  Then, of course, when the relationship eventually comes into the individual’s life, this person is faced with more longings for communion that are deeper still, and once again is faced with this transforming spiritual work as the process of clearing and healing continues.  This is the process of all human transformation as I know it to be.

A very important part of synchronizing our personal desires with our spiritual longings in this transformation process is the continual fabrication of a superstructure of faith and hope.  Faith is what carries us step by step into and through the dark recesses of our inner burrows of life toward the hope for the fulfillment of our deepest longing.  It is the process of cause and effect, the process of motivational desire and fulfillment; it is riding the pulse of the creative wave deeply ingrained within the depths of our inner being.  This is the longing of life itself.  It does not require us to consciously remember where we have been or what we have done previously as Spirit; it only requires us to follow our deepest longings.  We each do this very naturally and in this way we are assured of salvation through this process of transformation, which is independent of memory retention.

Can we choose another avenue besides the earth plane?  The answer I believe is dependent upon the direct affinity with transformations that have become an understanding of consciousness at the higher vibrations of our being.  Or in other words a purpose is created within the mind of our Spiritual beingness that is longed for and sought out in the way consciousness is drawn to or has an affinity with in its understanding.

Perhaps Kyo and others may have more to add to my thoughts regarding this process and how we can better understand this.

from what i have read from one of the first posts in this thread;

love is  now only a human emotion. so very much differently understood by as many men as there are on earth. i agree that love is one of  thebiggest components in creation's human side. but i dont think love is that much important for  many other different aspects of creation. even some know nothing about love& this fact changes nothing about reality, validity and their reason of being. the reason of all creation cant be only about love or learning or karma or whatever.in other words my creation could be something totally different from the reason of all creation. (dont think of human as the whole of the creation ) and without any idea about the reason of creation there is no point in trying to understand yours.. and besides, i wonder if it could be even possible.

Mairlyn said
' Love is the glue that holds all life together. I see LOVE as all there is.'
I'm not going to explain this variation on Mairlyn's thoughts very well but I'm trying:
We are here to love, and here is some 'proof':
Attempting to look at love, we could put it on an energy graph, shown like a 'voice-print.' Various emotions have been shown this way; apologies, I don't have those websites available right now.  Now think of the human voice. It's range of tones fall most fully within the same range as the love.  Compared to donkeys braying, songbirds trilling, elephants trumpeting, whales whistling, (even our DNA brothers the chimpanzees are shreiking) we emote levels of energy closest to the energies of love just by speaking. Our human form must be the most conducive for emoting /emiting love-like energies. And that doesn't even take into account PUL.

Hopefully when we speak we often speak with the caring and concern that brings a resonance to our tone that is even closer to the graphed vibrations of love. But there is room for and a need for our variations.  So if my voice emits (new analogy) violin tones, and yours emits cello tones, we add even more cohesiveness to the orchestration.
On this planet where matter and spirit are just learning to cooperate, our tonal range is what helps hold the chaos together and keeps it within the universal symphony. It's not a metaphor or an analogy; it's a vibrational reality.
We come here to bring love, because love is the glue that holds all life together.

Thanks everyone, for all your posts.
I may not have much to input but I am valuing all of the discussion and input from you all.
thanks for all the info

what i am saying is if this is indeed an earth school, dont let your fears kill your brains. if it is all about love for the beginning and for the end then it is what it is and the best one can expect and nobody including me , including you can change it. but if it is not all about love? who would graduate and leave all of you and all this mad fun behind?
