You have elected to be here at this time; to surround yourself with those who will teach you. At times the teachings feel brutal. They do not feel loving. They do not feel uplifting, and yet you know with the passage of time, all will become clearer.</p>
<p>To fully understand takes an openness to understanding. It takes exploration; it takes intuition. If you remain open to what is, you can easily identify that which will move you forward.</p>
<p>Dear one, there are many who do not desire to dig too deeply; many who do not desire to become more conscious of their life experience. But many are searching. Many are asking. Many are exploring. It is in the gentle push with self that insights are more clearly defined.</p>
<p>Dear one, when you set an intention to fully understand that intention is met again and again. When you allow the universe to deliberately create on your behalf, it is a blessed thing. This you have witnessed again and again. The creation begins with the seed of a desire, the notion that you are seeking. It begins with clearly knowing what you desire; clearing stating, fully and richly, your intention.</p>
<p>It begins with knowing that you are on the right path. The beauty of manifestation, when you are aware, is that it is clearly an answer to prayer, if you will. Recognize it as it occurs and you will witness a cavalcade of emotions.</p>
<p>Dear one it is blessed to create. It is blessed to seek inner guidance. It is blessed to know without a doubt that this magical life experience is of your making. You have stepped into the here and now. You have asked for this interaction. You have stated again and again that you are worthy of this adventure. Now the time is here to remember that you are worthy. To ask for divine wisdom and guidance. To seek and follow that which you receive.</p>
<p>Only you can know what is in your highest good. You can ask and ask and ask another, but the true wisdom, the flame, is within each one. When you light a candle, you fixate on the gaze. You trust your own vision to describe the light; to see the beauty of the flame. You do not turn to another and ask, “Please, what do you see?” No, you trust that you are witnessing a thing of beauty, the perfect light, Dear one, it is the same. Your vision is clear. It is a matter of trusting.</p>
<p>Dear one, all is well. Enjoy this day.</p>
<p>Seek answers. They are all around you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ann Scholl Rinehart just posted: <a href="http://steeredbyspirit.com/weigh-choices-for-greatest-good-feel-joy">Weigh Choices for Greatest Good &#8211; Feel Joy</a> on Steered by Spirit.</p><p>I have had a couple conversations lately with young men who are feeling a bit lost right now, wondering what it is they are to do. I, too, am feeling struggles with the &#8220;next step&#8221; in my life. I loved this message; loved the playfulness but the clarity of the message. I hope you find it helpful, too. Blessings on the path…Ann</p>
<p>Sweet one, life is a balance. It is when that balance tips that you feel unwell, that you feel afraid, that you feel uncertain. It is in that imbalance that you clarify what it is that you are feeling, what it is that you are desiring.</p>
<p>Sweet one, what you are experiencing, what others are experiencing, is simply a longing for your heart’s desire. In your case, you are anxious to move on to the next step, the next phase of your life. That longing, does it not?, speaks to you. It pulls you this way. It says follow me. In that longing you are perfectly clear about what you desire.</p>
<p>It is as if you are standing in front of a case of ice cream. You see chocolate, you see vanilla, you see colors in between. You know by exploring this case that you do not desire a scoop of pink ice cream. You are torn between one or two, but eventually you choose. You say “that one there.” It is not necessary to taste each one; it is not necessary to stand and gaze for hours. You are pulled quite clearly toward what it is you desire. And you know it. You know that is the one that will satisfy your desire.</p>
<p>Dear one, when you come upon choices in your life, it is really that simple. It is not necessary to stand at the case and say, “ah, I cannot have that. I must wait. It is simply about deciding what is in your greatest good. It feels exactly right, does it not? When you choose the ice cream that speaks to you, that says I am the flavor you crave. You do not stand with your head in your hand, chastising yourself for making the wrong decision. Perhaps you say, “next time I will sample vanilla” but you do not for a minute berate yourself for the decision you have made.</p>
<p>Spirit I feel like I am in front of the case and I am so close to having the scoop that I want more than anything in the world. What is occurring to keep that ice cream from being placed in a bowl and deposited in my hands?</p>
<p>Dear one, it is uncertainty. You cannot stand at the counter and say, hmmmm, I wonder what that one tastes like. I wonder if that one would be better than that one. I wonder if it would be better for me to have that one over there? No, you must decide. You must state your order perfectly. You must believe without a doubt that the clerk behind the counter will hear your plea and serve you what you have requested.</p>
<p>It’s really that simple spirit? Some people feel like they are standing at the counter but no one is there; or no one is listening; or their pleas have been denied.</p>
<p>Dear one, it starts with ambiguity, when you do not fully know what it is you desire. Perhaps you know that you want to help people, however, perhaps you do not know the exact fit for such a desire. That is OK. It is not necessary to know the outcome. In other words, it is about intention; it is about clarifying what it is you desire.</p>
<p>Let me proceed:</p>
<p>It is not complicated. It is, as this ice cream parlor scenario implies, quite easy. You know that you want ice cream. You know what flavor you might like to try. You may have not realized that a flavor exists that you’ve never tried. Perhaps a friend says, ah, I have tried this one over here. I think you will like it. Or perhaps the clerk will suggest this one over here. When you walked in the parlor, you thought you were quite clear: I will have chocolate ice cream today. But upon arrival, you discover there is a choice you had not contemplated, as you did not know it existed. This is the same in life.</p>
<p>State your intention.</p>
<p>Know with certainty in your heart what it is you desire.</p>
<p>Allow the details to filter in. Allow the outcome to be released. Trust only that in stating your order, clearly and directly, that you are creating a powerful path. Do not allow doubt to enter in. Do not allow “what if” to enter in. Do not allow yourself to berate yourself once a decision has been made. Trust your heart. Trust your soul.</p>
<p>What is happening with these young men right now: They are searching; they are unsettled in life.</p>
<p>Dear one they are exploring. They are tasting the different cups of ice cream. They&#8217;re determining which flavors they enjoy and which ones they dislike. In this case, they have not tasted ice cream before. In the tasting they are further determining what they enjoy and what they will never order again. It is a part of life as well and a part of the process of defining what it is they desire. All is well.</p>
<p>How will they know when they are on the right path?</p>
<p>They will know it as they have known before; they will feel joy in their hearts. They will feel contentment but not complacency. They will feel joy unending. They will know.</p>
<p>Spirit is there anything else that might be helpful to share for all of those who feel like they are asking for their life’s purpose and are not receiving?</p>
<p>Dear one if the asking has been clear; if they are certain in their heart that they are willing recipients; if they are trusting that they are on the right and true path, then it will be delivered. It must.</p>
<p>If they are instead taking a step forward and back, stuttering in hesitation; fearful and judging their decisions, that will not suffice. It is in the letting go, it is in the trusting, that much will unfold.</p>
<p>Dear one, we do not stand at the ice cream parlor, shouting from in front of the counter. We trust the clerk can hear our plea. We trust that when the time is right, he will place the scooper into the cream and delight us with the result. It is the same. At times, waiting is necessary. That does not mean he will not fill your cup; it means that the time has not presented.</p>
<p>All is well. Sweet one. All is well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ann Scholl Rinehart just posted: <a href="http://steeredbyspirit.com/live-the-christ-child-%e2%80%93-christmas-and-everyday">Live the Christ child – Christmas and everyday</a> on Steered by Spirit.</p><p>Dear one, sweet one, blessings this day. It is indeed a day in which man is focused on the greatest miracle of all. It is a day when man can look another in the face and see love, see light, and know clearly this is a reflection of their goodness. It is a day when man remembers that it is better to give than to receive. And it is a day when man forgets the pettiness of the day and instead focuses on the love in his heart for each and everyone.</p>
<p>Dear one, this day is filled with joy; it is filled with strife. It is a day when the dualities are ever apparent; when on one hand someone is deluged with emotions of well-being and love and another feels to the depths of their soul despair. Neither is right, the other wrong. It is just a day when emotions and reflections are at their most intense.</p>
<p>Dear one, what is desired this day? It is for all to realize that love conquers all. Love is the infinite source of goodness. It is the infinite expression of godliness. It is the deep and divine expression of that Christ consciousness. Jesus was the divine expression of goodness. Jesus understood his purpose. He understood his power. Jesus knew without a doubt that he was source through and through. And he understood that by living his life fully each and every moment that he was living up to the divine potential of his birthright. It is no different for you, or you, or you, or you. It is no different for those who you deem as less than. It is no different for those who seem to already have it all.</p>
<p>Dear one what is asked, simply, is this: Allow the divine nature of your existence to be ever present. Allow it to bubble up to the surface; allow it to be a constant.</p>
<p>Allow your mind to release images that do not serve its higher purpose. The mind is a magical manifestor; it draws to you all that you could ever imagine, but you see, that is the issue. Man stops short and does not fully believe this is possible. Man does not see that abundance is ever present, in all areas, at all times. Man sees x, y and z. Man says “but…” The flow stops in these moments because it must. The universe can only honor your requests in so much as it is understood.</p>
<p>In other words, man says, “Give me a million dollars” but he projects “that can never happen.” He sees pie in the sky. He sees unworthiness for such riches. He says, “I am not deserving of such…” and so it ends. But dear one know that in your heart is the truth. In your heart dwells the infinite knowledge of source; true source. In your heart you remember the power of your divine birthright. It is there, waiting to be acknowledged; waiting for you to remember; waiting for the expression of truth.</p>
<p>Dear one, this day, move forward, knowing that this is but one day when what is possible in the world is demonstrated. It is one day when you remember to tell another “you are loved.” It is a blessed day, indeed, but, in such, each day is a divine blessing, an opportunity to live the Christ child. It need not be reserved for 24 hours but for a lifetime.</p>
<p>Loved one, beloved. Trust. Move forward knowing that you are creating a world in which any and all is possible. Allow it to unfold. Allow it to be.</p>
<p>You are loved. Amen and amen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ann Scholl Rinehart just posted: <a href="http://steeredbyspirit.com/cosmic-shift-sweeps-us-to-next-growth-level">Cosmic Shift Sweeps Us to Next Growth Level</a> on Steered by Spirit.</p><p>I asked this morning about a message that is important to share with everyone and this is what I received:</p>
<p>Dear one, what is most important is for man to love one another; for man to caress those who are at their feet. For man to listen, to embrace, to invoke real and true love and adulation.</p>
<p>Dear one this is a magical time. It is not a period of despair. It is not a time when the earth is ending but rather a time when it is beginning. In the shift it is not unlike the unruliness of a toddler; the unruliness of a teenager.</p>
<p>As change occurs it is often with great strife and strain. But in the end, a maturation occurs; a movement occurs to the next level of growth. That is true on a grander scheme. The sky is not falling; the world is not ending, but it is maturing, it is progressing; it is moving forward and that should be met with gratitude and appreciation, not fear. In keeping with the idea of the toddler, the teenager – no parent would stand in the way of such growth; no parent would try and alter the course of those next steps. It is in embracing the child; in meeting the child here it is that true love is expressed. That, too, is what is necessary at this time.</p>
<p>Dear one, do not allow fear to enter in – or worry or doubt. All is a natural progression; a natural state of being. That is not to say to ignore the goings on but to observe and embrace the goings on. Just as you take your toddler in your arms and offer kindness in the face of what appears to be commotion, know that too the earth desires this embrace; the world desires this embrace.</p>
