“This is an interesting twist in the plot.”  Imagine how much more peaceful your life would be if this were your habitual reply when things got … well, interesting.  Yes, you have chosen as a soul to live in the world of duality, and you do that through your story.  Stories have good parts and bad.  Happy times and sad.  For the character who lives through these ups and downs it appears quite challenging, but only if the character forgets they are acting.  For the soul who enacts the story, it is interesting indeed, and always in the back of the mind is the awareness that there are two roles going on at once:  that of the soul and that of the actor in human form.  And always there is the awareness that the human role’s experiences are temporary and will pass.  The cycles of up and down are part and parcel of the play.  It can be no other way, but remembering who is acting brings great peace at the end of the day. 

You are so very, very loved.
