A channeled message from Samuel:
Open your hearts and minds to the wonderful possibilities before you!
Why do you fear so much? Why do you cling to the stories that cause you so much suffering? We know that you believe the stories are true, and in many cases, you believe they are True with a capital “T,” as in Universal Truth. You hold to the stories that you are unworthy, that you are sinners, that you deserve what you get, that you are being punished for the choices of others, that the world is under condemnation for your wickedness and sins, and the list goes on.
We ask that you pause and consider something. Before you do, take a moment to open your heart, connect with your heart, and allow your deepest desires to come forward and come to the surface. With those desires alive and active in your heart, ask yourself, how do you feel?
Do not stop to think; go to the first feeling that surfaces. Do you feel happy? Do you feel excited? Do you feel alive? Do you feel loved?
Know that this feeling you feel, the feeling that validates you and puts a song in your heart, is the feeling of the Divine, the feeling that you are meant to feel when you dwell on your heart’s deepest desires. It is the feeling of love, of Truth, that says, “Yes, you are worthy of this desire and so much more.”
Why are you worthy? Because you are OF the Divine, you ARE the Divine, and no story told to you by others can invalidate that Truth.
You may not believe us now, but pay attention to how you feel when you read or hear these words. Do they not touch something deep inside of you? Even if you only feel the faintest glimmer of light, of joy, you are resonating with the most fundamental Truth of all.
The journey toward freedom, toward letting go of the stories that hold you down, that weigh you down, begins with a single step, a single belief that maybe, just maybe, you really ARE deserving of every good thing that happens to you.
Do not fear what others say, for what they are saying is, “I need you to behave in this specific way so that I can feel better.” Does that not invalidate your own desires and thoughts?
Let them act in the way they feel they need to act so that they can feel better. Let them choose their path to happiness and fulfillment, and you choose yours. If your paths coincide and run parallel to each other, or even if your paths merge, then it is because you made that choice, not because the choice was made for you.
What can you do to break the stranglehold your fear-based stories have over you?
First, allow yourself to believe that there is something better for you “out there.” We put quotation marks around “out there” because, in reality, “out there” is all around you. The something better you seek already exists, and it is waiting for you to claim it.
But you need a starting point, so a simple affirmation, “My something better is waiting for me to see it and claim it,” will get you started. This is an affirmation for those who are just starting their awakening journey and are just starting to see the cracks in the stories that have held them prisoner for so long.
Believe in the affirmation with all your heart. FEEL it and BELIEVE it when you say it out loud, and repeat it throughout the day. This will have the effect of widening the cracks just enough that you can see and claim the something better you desire.
Every time you feel yourself slipping back into despair or depression, contrast how you feel when you connect with your heart’s desires to how you feel when you repeat the fear-based stories of being a sinner, that you’re unworthy, or that if you don’t behave the way you’re told that you’ll be punished. Then ask yourself, how would you prefer to feel?
Would you prefer to feel a little lighter of heart, or would you prefer to feel dark, down, depressed, and afraid?
Would you prefer to feel a little bit of joy, or would you prefer to be miserable?
Whatever choice you make, it is yours and yours alone. It is not judged nor condemned. It is accepted for what it is.
In conclusion, we leave you with this message: Look at every contrast in your life and choose what makes you feel alive and excited—even if it’s just a tiny bit alive and excited. In making that choice, you will see what appear to be miraculous changes unfold before your eyes, and you will experience life as it was always meant to be: wondrous and beautiful.
