As so many of us are being called into our soul service, what advice does Ananda have for making this an easy transition from our old 3D jobs and lives into a new heart-centered way of living?
Greetings, dear one. What you must know is that you can indeed be living from within your heart while you still hold your old 3D job as you call it. A heart-centered way of living has much more to do with who you are than with what you are doing.
When you are truly living from a heart-centered space, the steps you need to take to move forward on your spiritual path will simply be unfolded before you. Where many humans fall into confusion is in thinking that they can move directly from the old world into the new world of spirit. This transition is always a gradual process. It happens over time. It is impossible for the human to jump from a place of despair with the world around her to a place of heart-centered living in one gigantic leap. It simply cannot happen. You cannot get from the foothills to the top of the mountain in one gigantic leap. You must simply walk up the mountain one step at a time. At one point or another, you will become aware that you are leaving the foothills behind you. You will no longer see them. You will now be able to focus more on the top of the mountain where you are going than on the foothills where you started. But, again, we remind you, it is a gradual process. Patience and persistence are the true keys to making this journey. We know that this sounds so 3D to you. But that is how it is.
Now at some point, and it is different for each one of you, the speed at which you are moving begins to accelerate. It all depends on the clarity of your purpose and your vision. It also depends on the clarity of your physical and emotional bodies. Frustration, anger and regret will hold you back from this forward movement. The manifestations of these negative emotions can often be very subtle. You may think you have erased a pattern from your life when, suddenly, it comes back to replay itself for you again. We know how difficult this is for you. When that happens, there is nothing for you to do except to acknowledge that the pattern still exists and do further work with it to release it.
It is important to remember that all those who are in your 3D life are there for a reason. Do you have a manager at your workplace who simply angers you beyond words? Then deal with the anger - not the manager. Do you have a neighbor who frustrates you to the point of wanting to hit him? Then deal with the frustration - not the neighbor. Are you beginning to see what we are trying to tell you? In effect, there is no distance between what you call 3D and the next density of existence awaiting your recognition of it. Please remember that you have not completely left the 3D world yet. There are elements of that world which help you to make your transition to the next density. You must be willing to use them. You must also be willing to honor them for they are what has gotten you where you are now. And if you don't like where you are now, then you might want to revisit your relationship with those things of a 3D nature which still distress you. Sit with them, work with them, deal with them until they no longer frustrate or anger you. Only then can you truly release them. And only when you have truly released them can you rise above them.
We know that is difficult for you to accept these words. You feel that you have worked so hard. But we will remind you that struggle and resistance often feel like hard work. They are not. They are just struggle and resistance. And, as you well know, what you resist persists. So we will say to you, stop the struggle, stop the resistance. Look at the blockages within your own body. Look at the places where you feel yourself closing down. And if you feel yourself closing down as you read these words, look at that. What are you not seeing that you need to see. Where are your blind spots? Every human has them. It will be much easier for others to help you see them than for you to see them for yourself. Ask to be shown the blind spots. And when you finally do see them, release them. You will know when this has happened. Your body will tell you. You will feel the release and it will be a joyous moment for you. Revel in that joy and allow it to lift you to the next level where you will encounter another blind spot. It is just like this on your planet. Keep finding the blind spots, resolving them, feeling the new sense of joy and moving on to the the next one. That is how you get to the top of the mountain.
There is no magic in it. But there is joy and love. We love you beyond what your words can convey and we bless you as you continue on your journey. And so be it.
