Utopia of the Soul

Time to tell it, as I hear it. The following all comes from a very strong source. I will call it Love. You may call it what you wish, any name or title that resonates with you and fills you with calm and peace. He speaks to all of us below. I am humbled to be a channel for all of us:

Today was an important day:
I slept under the stars.
I rode on the back of a horse.
I saw a rhinoceros for the first time.
I ate with a spoon.
I was given a place to rest.
A friend came back into my life after years of separation.
The salty ocean water cleaned all of wounds- those on my body and those festering in my soul. I heard a baby laugh, and saw my lovers cry.
I held hands with the most beautiful girl, and a sang songs of praise in a humble church.
I put food on my table for my brilliant children.
I had little around me, but craved nothing.
I smiled as I sat without a chair upon the ground.
I taught a bird how to fly again.
I sold my house so that I could continue to follow my dream as a traveling musician.
I learned a prayer that soothed my soul, and heard a lecture from my mother that finally helped me to understand.
I read a good book, and saw a horrible movie, but it was great because I got to make fun of it with my best friend in the entire world.
I found a soul mate on the L train.
And I finally got a chance to take a walk and clear my mind.
I worked hard today, but began to understand what I really want out of life.
I learned to say no, and I learned to accept gifts with a simple, "thank you."

I am you, and you did all of these things today, and I thank you for this. I thank you for building an experience for me. I thank you for living. I thank you for feeling. I thank you for building a world that I want to live in.

Everyday, I sense, and feel, and am, both good and bad. The bad is part of the plan ladies and gents! The bad still helps us to build together. It helps you to heal; yes, you heard it hear first, pain is the first step to healing. If it doesn't hurt, you won't think to address it. Think about it!

I also was robbed today.
I found out that I had cancer.
My baby died seconds after she breathed her first breath.
I was terrified by a man in black, and I lost my job.
My husband swore at me and then broke a bottle of whiskey against the wall.
My sister tried to kill herself, and I didn't even feel that bad about it.
My mom threw up today in the sink, and she was so drunk that I had to clean it up.
An army of bandits, or guerrillas  as they like to be called, ransacked my home and would have stolen and killed my daughter had she been home.
My baby broke his arm trying to crawl out of his crib, and a violent storm took the roof of of my home.

I am sorry for many things today but am too proud to apologize.
I hurt my mother, when I told her I thought she was a slut. I sang a song to her to heal her pain, but it was in my head. I'm not strong enough to face her.
I told the man of my dreams that I couldn't marry him, just because my father does not approve. I sang a song of regret, but I'm too frightened to face my father.

I rejoiced in a birth.
I forgave myself.
I laughed so loudly that everyone around me joined in.
My cat comforted me, and I realized that I'm not really alone.
I found beauty in the sunset, and realized that there is something to all of the, "We are One mumbo-jumbo."

It is hard for all of us to understand we are One, that life is interconnected, that there is balance, and that Utopia is a place where we are free to grow as we need to, where life is not restricted or prejudged, where honesty reins, not perfection. A Utopia is a place where we can ask questions and receive answers, where people are free to live a life that is authentic and meaningful, where everyone is safe, but no one is protected. Where people help each other to listen to their souls. Where people are free to work out their demons in a way that is safe and sane, in a way where they can release the energies that no longer serve them and have never connected them, without destroying anyone else's soul.

But this Utopia is not without conflict. This Utopia is not with out death, or disease, or pain, or betrayal. This Utopia is not without fear. Fear may separate you from God, from Me, from the Earth, but how can you really understand connection and the power that comes from that connection without it being lost to you?

This Utopia isn't without heartache and grief. This Utopia is safe, it is sane, but it allows all feelings all emotions, and private thoughts and desires. Everyone will not get along in this Utopia, not now, not at this point in the evolution of Spirit. We must first understand what it is truly like to be thriving, blessing, unique individuals before we can completely and correctly harness the power of Oneness.

I wish for you a Utopia. I will help you build it, once you decide how to make it work. I have given you all the resources you need. There is more than enough for all of you. I will help create safety for all. I will help create life and help love to flow, but you first must acknowledge that you want this, and then you must ask for it. You must be brave enough to ask for a place where everyone can be authentic, and be smart enough to understand that pain, and grief, and polarization will be present but with a purpose. Everyone must be welcomed and included, or your place of perfection fail. Someone left on the outside will seek to tear it to pieces.

You must allow people who are weak of Spirit in your walls. You must allow them to figure out their journeys for themselves. You must allow them to make mistakes. You must all them to fall down, and you must never turn your backs on them.

Your police and firefighters and armies are meant to serve and protect. Take away their weapons and arms that destroy, but still give them the power to protect. Teach them how to sense a soul that is in crisis. Teach them how to help humans release negative energies. Teach them that conflict is needed for growth, and that they do not need to fear discontent. Teach them to create safe spaces of release. Teach them to understand the difference between violence and growth. Teach you children the same.

I know you want to be free of pain, of despair, of disbelief, but My Children, I refuse to give you that. I refuse to take away the gift of life. And all those things are the gifts of life. They help you make sense of the world. They give value and meaning to love, understanding, and peace of mind. They also create love, understanding and peace of mind. I refuse to take away anything that makes you whole, anything that brings you back to Yourself, to Me, to Your Family.

I will help you create a Utopia, a safe haven where you can be with every emotion, with every reaction, with every argument. A Utopia where every soul is safe from being harmed, but no body is free from pain.

I want you to understand this more than anything. I want you to understand that peace cannot be found without chaos, and that chaos cannot manage to fight itself. Chaos will eventually give way to more chaos because chaos always realigns and gives meaning to the Universe, and the cycle must start again.

People have the right to live without fear. People have the right to live in a place where that do not need to fear growth and natural progression, where they are respected as evolving beings who are far from perfect but trying. Everyone should have the right to try, to have control of their own destiny. Everyone should have the right to be free of the fear of control and dismissal. Everyone should have the right to deal with their fear of self, their fear of truth, and their fear of connection. This is the fear that separates, but later aligns.

I bring these words in peace. I will help you once you are ready. Be your own best friend, first and foremost. Get out of your own way, and then help clear the way for others. Build that Utopia in your own soul. Then help build it in the soul of others.

Because you see, Utopia exists within, and when enough of you have built it within- this place where people are free to hurt, to laugh, to sing, to dance, to explore and make mistakes, you will see that it will begin to magically manifest in little corners of the physical world. 

Heaven can only be reached within, and Heaven on Earth can only exist once enough of us have taken the time to journey within. 

Good luck, safe travels, and see you on the other-side of the curtain.

Amen.
