About love and breakups

Question: What is the relationship between {names removed} about?  Why is {name removed} having such a difficult time getting past it? 

We are with you tonight.

Love on an essence level is striking when encountered in human beings.  It is a powerful reminder of the love that is the core of who we are who you each are.

The depth of love is a connection to Source — the Tao, All That Is.  When that pure love strikes, it is so powerful and so compelling t hat it cannot be missed.

And, when the physical bodies and personalities conflict, the loss of that love feels devastating.  As well it should, for it is a beautiful thing to experience.

The ecstasy is what the Essence lives for.  The personality has different goals and is not usually willing to let the Essence take over to the extent it would like in a physical lifetime.  So, breakup occurs, and deep grief and longing are the result.

In many ways, such love is a reminder of what you all left behind when your Essence entered into the physical body and earthly incarnation.  It is a powerful longing to “return home” to that powerful ecstasy of pure love. 

There are, of course, memories of past lives together, of karma incurred and resolved, and not resolved.  

The personality will do a great deal to prevent — or try to prevent — two people from focusing all their attention on each other as deeply as you would like.  It will “act out” in all sorts of ways that seem to be very real, to keep you from each other.

There can be other “reasons” why life between two such intimately connected souls would not pursue a closer, more long-term relationship.  Life tasks may be different and may not be fulfilled if the two souls are so tightly connected.

In this case, we suggest that she do some work on her own to uncover what she can learn from the depth of the experience — what she learned, what she did or didn’t do to contribute to the breakup, what she might want to do differently in the future.  Or, if she is willing to give up her personality’s needs in order to maintain a relationship with the intensity that would be required if she were to try to resurrect it again.

We also suggest that she view it from a place of immense gratitude for what she was able to achieve in truly being touched deeply by the Beloved.  It is a magical experience — maybe a “once in a lifetime" experience — that many people never get to experience.

Some introspection on what she is grieving for might be useful.  Is it the feeling of being loved?  The feeling of deep love for another soul?  The excitement and anticipation of being with the Beloved, etc.

This might help her to be clearer in her own mind and in her heart about what she truly wants in her lifetime.

Remember also that life — physical life — is to be lived and part of that deals with loss and grief, and part deals with learning to love unconditionally. That is the only reason we are here to help you — to help you learn to love more deeply and more completely. 

Love is truly all there is.  All else is illusion and maya. When you can love, in whatever form it takes, you are far more than just a physical body.  You are expressing the divine essence of who you are — a fragment of a magnificent universe that knows only love.  

Of course, the apparent loss of that love is devastating.  And, nothing is ever lost.  You still have all the love that is possible.  It is not necessary to have another physical person to tap into that love.  Your culture teaches you otherwise — that having a “mate” is the way to happiness.  It can be, and it can be the way to sorrow.  

For two people to have a deep, long-lasting relationship, each personality must give up a great deal of control.  Many are unwilling to do that, therefore, breakups occur.

Love is a topic that could go on all night and forever.  We will leave you with these thoughts to consider.

What are orbs?

We are here with you tonight and always.

Orbs are what is commonly known as energy signatures. 

At some time in your culture, someone captured an “orb” in a way that allowed it to manifest in a physical way on a photograph.  As word spread and people tried to understand, agreements were formed that this is an “acceptable” method for energy to express itself so that those who want to see with their eyes could have someone “concrete” to point to.

It has now become part of your culture and is becoming more mainstream.

The “orb” is simply one way to capture the many expressions of god, spirit, angels, essence, spirit guides, or whatever people want to call them.

When there are many orbs as in your summer solstice gathering, that reflects the great energy that was there.

As you know, when people gather to pray or do spiritual work, there is great interest from the “other” realms and great support as well.

So orbs are “showing up” more frequently in photographs.

This isi enhanced by the increasing frequency of overall energy as the planet and the people move forward in growth.  Orbs could have expressed in many different ways.  However, since that first capture, it provided a “model” or “template” to break through the veil or the barrier between your physical world and the “other” or “higher” realm.

That veil or barrier is growing thinner each day, which is why more people are seeing and experiencing orbs.  This will continue to grow until it is not unusual to know and feel the support of non-physical entities. 

Many things are changing as the energy increases.  Ideas, beliefs, methods, practices, diseases and technology are all changing at a rapid pace. 

If you would like to personally experience the orbs in a physical way for yourself, simply set your intention and ask your guides to help the energy express for you in that way. 

Play with it and allow it to show up.  Or, ask it to show up in some other way if you are adventurous and want to play with what is possible.

We wish you love and fun and all good things.  Life is an adventure to be lived, so have fun!

Will there be a difference depending on which candidate wins the election for US President?

We are here with you tonight.

Your question is a good one as this is a very good “time” to ask such questions when people are making their  choices.

In one sense, the answer could be “No” for the long term.  Meaning that growth will occur regardless of who is the president. 

The answer could be “Yes” if you want to talk about how fast you grow or which ways you go while doing that growth. 

Your society is moving toward more mature ways of being and doing, and even Young Souls such as Mr. Romney have to behave and talk differently more than they did 30 years ago, for example.  

The difference comes in how they go about it.  Are they just talking about cooperation and still operating as the way it has been?

The media in your society plays a very powerful part in helping to expose the issues and communicate messages.  And, they can obfuscate the issues and create issues where there were none by spreading falsehoods and innuendo that is damaging to the truth.

You all know this – so we are “preaching to the choir.”

What you don’t know is the truth.  No one does and therein lies the dilemma.

How can you choose without facts and truth?

The answer to that — as Older Souls — you have to learn to trust your own sense of the truth that is covered by all the propaganda and spin from the candidates, their campaigns, the media, the social media, the “unofficial” media (everyone who has something to say) and to some extent the candidates themselves, who are trying to “present” themselves in the way they think will get them elected.

Mr. Obama likes being president for many reasons and he has been very frustrated by his inability to get done more things that he feels so passionate about.  He is not as effective as he would like to be and doesn’t know how to fix it.  His recent willingness to work closely with Bill Clinton was long overdue.  Mr. Clinton has an incredible social skill that far exceeds any recent living president.  His involvement could be the factor that turns the election in favor of Mr. Obama.

Of course, as Mature Souls, the Obama team and the Clintons care passionately about social issues and doing what they can to resolve them.  

Mr. Romney appeals to the Young Souls who see their power and influence slipping away and will do anything to keep that from happening. That is a strong force to contend with as you have seen in recent elections.

There is the possibility of a “tie” similar to what you had before since the Young Soul and Mature Soul groups are so close in numbers.

Your society could teeter and sway back and forth for many years this way.

Eventually, however, you must move strongly to the mature way because it has to happen.  

You would like a firm “yes” or “no” to go by, and we won’t give you one.  We can say that there will be parallels split off by the decision, so the answer is still “Yes” AND “No” because some parallels will move the Mature Soul way and some will go back to the Young Soul way.

Even if it “goes back” — it won’t be like it was.  There are too many Mature Souls to allow the Young Souls to “undo” everything.

So, you have some smoother way if the Mature Soul Obama continues, or you may see the Young Soul thwarted. 

Regardless, it gives you lots of excitement and the opportunity to seriously consider what YOU want for your future. 

We are here whenever you need or want us.
