Listen for the Joy

Here is the simplest way to find your connection to your True Self: listen for the Joy. Just close your eyes now - after reading these lines - and try it... Take two or three cleansing breaths and tune in. Let go of your thoughts; let them float gently by like clouds in the sky. Relax and just breathe. With each breath, allow yourself to go deeper within. Keep letting go of tension, worry, doubt and stress. Know that all is well. Know that everything will always work out perfectly. Let go... and just breathe...

Once you achieve a sense of letting go and relaxing, just be still and listen... If thoughts distract you - and they will - imagine them floating easily by and focus on your breath. Focus deeper within. And then: listen for the Joy. This Joy is deep within you. It is your very Self. It is your true Essence, your true Being. It is Who You Really Are. When you connect with it, you will feel incredible joy welling up inside of you.

Do not worry if you cannot feel it right away, or at all the first time you try. Just go on with your day and come back to it when you have a quiet moment. Close your eyes again and let yourself relax. Then, listen... See if you can catch even a glimpse of the Joy that dwells within you. It is there. It is unquestionably there! We have just covered it up with all this other stuff - stress, fear, self-doubt, worry, roles we play, all our shoulds and shouldnt's - an endless list of layers of the false self, also known as the ego.

But our True Divine Self has never gone away. It has not disappeared or left us just because we turned our attention to outside things that became seemingly more important and covered up our true magnificence. Do you remember how you were as a small child? You were totally free and absolutely joyful. If you can't remember, then just look at a baby or a very small child. Look at the energy that emanates from them. It is Joy. It is Joy that is vibrating throughout their being. It is joy that cannot be contained but pours out through every pore.

We can become like a child again - free of all limits and bouncing with the energy of Joy. This is how we were meant to live. We were meant to live in absolute joy and bliss all the days of our lives. If we are not, then something has gone wrong. Something must be very wrong... We must regain our childlike innocence and joy in order to live the life we were born to live.

The world does not reflect much joy these days. It hasn't for a long time. Yet, the time has come for us to awaken to the Joy we once knew. It is time for us to remember Who We Really Are and to create the world anew with Joy! We can, and must start with our own lives. We must remove from our lives all that which does not give us joy. It is not in harmony with our authentic selves if it doesn't give us joy. If we cannot remove it right away, then we must see if we can make it joyful. Can we bring joy into it? If we can, then it will transform for us, but if it doesn't, we must have the courage to leave it behind. There is no point in sacrificing ourselves to a joyless life.

My friends, the Time of Joy is at hand. A new day is dawning on the planet Earth! The Earth is moving to a higher place. And all life on Earth must follow. WE must follow. The information age has been upon us for a while now. There is so much information; you can find everything on the Internet - good and bad, light and dark. But this age is quickly passing. It is turning into the Age of Enlightenment. In-Light we shall live. We shall lighten our load. We shall return to Joy. No more sadness, no more sorrow will we know. This is going to take place in our lifetime. This is already happening now.

We are the ones who have come forth to bring this about. We are the ones who have come to usher in the Age of Enlightenment. We are here to create a whole new culture that lives from the heart - not the head. We are to connect with the Joy that lives in our hearts, and we are to create our lives anew from this place of Joy. We will create a beautiful New Earth where everyone is able to follow their Joy. Let us connect with this Joy now and FEEL it. Let us use our imaginations to visualize the New Earth. You can start by imagining what your life would look like if you were living in your Joy.

Dearest one, close your eyes again, and see if you can imagine what this life would be like. What would it be like if you were the embodiment of Joy? Take a deep breath now and pause for a moment...

Close your eyes, Beloved, and listen for the Joy...
