Dear Guides,
How can we learn to stop trying to prove ourselves, to prove our worth? How can we really get it, that we are divine, okay just the way we are?
Excerpt from Minda’s channeling on 3.16.2010:
Dear ones,
This is a truly powerful question, one that is primordial to the human condition. There is the tendency amongst you to think that you are here to color on the chalkboard, to fill it all up with a most intriguing and beautiful, full picture, leaving no space unfilled, each section more beautiful and appealing than the next.
It is as if you believe that this quest is the justification for this lifetime and that you are, or will be, a failure if you do not achieve this glorious creation in your lives.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
While you may have a lot more fun if you spend your entire life drawing beautiful doodles and creations on this chalkboard, it is not a requirement.
You will not get brownie points.
You will not get a standing ovation on the other side.
It is not even your purpose, your before-birth promise to yourself, in MOST cases. Most of you envisioned accomplishing something which was much more of a “spiritual” goal, or something about your “being-ness,” something like working on your ability to be tolerant to others, or your ability to live with joy in your heart, or to be able to travel through difficulties with an inner equanimity.
Do you see how internal these goals are? As if no matter what the circumstances are that might surround you, what counts is how the inner game will be played: how do you do and how do you BE in these particular circumstances?
