Sing Your Soul Note
Archangel Raphael teaches us how to become unstuck using an awakening experience as an example. Sometimes, it’s best to focus on our healing rather than try to take our external life forward because it is what we agreed to at higher levels.
[W]e want to reiterate what you learn during a dark night of the soul experience and that is you learn who you truly are and develop compassion for who you truly are. In developing compassion for yourself, you begin to see your oneness amongst everyone else. You will cease to see victims and perpetrators, rather, you will see individualized humanity having difficulty in seeing the divinity in the other. Fundamentally, that is what you are being called to do in a dark night of the soul. Whatever your experience, however difficult it may be for you, you are being called to see the divinity in yourself, the divinity in your perceived imperfections, the divinity in your perceived mistakes, the divinity in your perceived challenges, and so on and so on.
Why is abandonment the root cause of the need to believe in societal hierarchy? It is in being abandoned, foremost, that you begin to relegate yourself to conditional love. This is an important point and it is a very nuanced one. The need to climb is painful because it is, on the inner, you relegating yourself to conditional love. I will be okay when ______. No, you are okay now, as you are. I will be beautiful when I lose 20 lbs. No, you are beautiful now. I will be successful when I finish my degree. No, if you believe in yourself now, you will be successful now. If you do not believe in yourself now, no amount of earning degrees will assist you in believing in yourself.
What we are pointing you to is to become aware of what drives the personality. Is what drives the personality inspiration? Or is what drives the personality motivation? What is the difference? When you are inspired, you do simply because you must and you must because being in joy in not negotiable to you. When you are motivated, you do because you must and you must because it is better than some alternative. Do you see the difference?
So, what is True Freedom? True Freedom is that space in you where you are no longer captured by soul fragmentation. What do we mean by this? What we mean is that you are clear as a channel because the high self is able to direct your energies on earth. This is contrasted to your soul fragmentation directing your life with their beliefs, patterns, and identities.
[R]emember what we said, there is no space in you that have no light. This means that spaces in you that are fragmented, that is, those spaces in you that are part light and part shadow, have within their construction the answer to the shadow. Do you understand this? A soul fragment consists of part light and part shadow. Therefore, embedded in the soul fragment is the light that will transmute it. We hope in this teaching you begin to have awe for the sheer intelligence of the universe. Embedded in the soul fragment is the light that will transmute it. In other words, the obstacle is, in fact, the way.
