Your guides do not offer you a hall pass so that you can step out of class in earth school.  Hear us well, we are still here.  We are your classroom aides.  We sit beside you in all of the classes, but it is by attending the classes and participating fully that you learn.  Do you see what a perfect analogy this is?  You are here for the experience of school, not to simply stand in the hallway.  In your times of greatest struggles, when you feel you need us the most, this is exactly when we may go silent, but we are here.  Finally, when the time is right, we may lean in and whisper a word or two such as “Gratitude!” allowing you to do two things:  Know that you are not alone, and gain just the right insight to carry on and save yourself.

You see, we are here to empower you, not to do all of the heavy lifting.  It is by doing the heavy lifting that you grow strong.  Most people do not like exercising their muscles.  It is far easier to let someone else do the hard work.  The soul agreed to come here and do the hard work.  Honor the soul, why don’t you, and in so doing, you honor your human self and every other soul who walks this earth, for as you grow, you all grow.

Life is challenging.  You knew that when you came here, but it is not always that way.  That, too, is part of the perfection.  Rest, work, play, rest, work, play … and so it goes in the ongoing cycle of life.  You are so very loved.
