191 Embrace this learning process that you are going through on earth and continue to turn within and ask your spirit guides about the lessons you are learning about, what you should learn about feeling your own feelings, about feeling your own emotions. Based on my practice, I am convinced that everyone on this planet has a personal spiritual guide. Spirit guides speak to our inner mind if we are receptive. While some guides are more easily reached than others, each of us has the ability to call upon and be heard by these guides. — Destiny of Souls, Michael Newton Question 501: Why is the influence of spirits on us hidden? And why isn't their protection readily apparent to us? Answer: If you counted heavily on their support, you would not be acting on your own accord and your spirit would not progress. In order to advance you need to acquire experience, often at your own expense. You need to exercise your powers otherwise, you will be like a child who is never allowed to walk by itself. The influence of the spirits who desire your welfare is always regulated in such a way as to leave you your free will... — The Spirits Book: Modern English Edition, Allan Kardec Those who do not take advantage of such opportunities in this life often do not do so when it is over. Consciousness will expand. It will create. It will turn inside out to do so. There is nothing outside of yourself that will force you to understand these issues or face them. It is useless then to say, 'When this life is over I will look back upon my experience and mend my ways.' This is like a young man saying, 'When I grow old and retire, I will use all those abilities that I am not now developing.' You are setting the stage for your 'next' life now. The thoughts you think today will in one way or another become the fabric of your next existence. There are no magic words that will make you wise, that will fill you with understanding and compassion, that will expand your consciousness. — Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul, Jane Roberts 192 Many times what prevents any human being from moving beyond their current spiritual consciousness level is because of one of the biggest human restraints, the feeling of fear--fear of the unknown, fear of not being good enough, fear of being laughed at, fear of not being accepted. It is the necessity of seeing oneself as you truly are, replied the angel, and believing in one's own truth, one's own identity. It has to do with the belief that all love is deserved, that unconditional love is deserved. The angel had beautifully stated the heart of the spiritual growth process on Earth: self-love is kindled when we cease to think of ourselves as limited, flawed personalities and instead remember that we are transcendent beings. To recognize this inner light is to change thought patterns and by extension, physical health. — Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth?, Robert Schwartz
