What is right for the whole?

At the deepest spiritual level there is consensus about what is right for the whole.

There is not your needs and my needs.
There is simply what is best for the whole.

At the deepest spiritual level there is consensus.

When you are in a deep place in you and
I am in a deep place in me there is consensus about what is right for the whole.

And so listen deeply now and ask:

What best serves the oneness?
What is best for the whole?

At the deepest spiritual level there is agreement about what is best for the whole.

There is not your needs and my needs,
There is simply what best serves the oneness.

At the deepest spiritual level there is agreement about what best serves the oneness.

And so listen deeply within.
Ask what best serves the oneness in this situation.

At the deepest spiritual level there is consensus about what is best for the whole.

In compromise is you get some of what you want and I get some of what I want.

In consensus you are listening deeply and coming to an agreement about what is truly best for the whole.

True consensus can only be attained through deep listening.

This is not an intellectual exercise.
This is an exercise of deep listening.

And so commit to listening deeply within.

Ask frequently:
What would best serve the oneness in this situation.

When serving the oneness everyones needs are taken into account.
When serving the oneness everyones needs matter.

If you listen deeply you will hear the still small voice of spirit whispering in your ear.

Saying you matter.
Everyone matters.

When listening deeply everyone’s deepest spiritual needs will be taken into account.

And so listen deeply now so that you will know what best serves the oneness moment by moment.

When you serve the oneness you serve the deepest needs of each person involved.

Do not seek to please the personality for the personality does not always know what is best for the whole.

Seek to listen at the deepest level possible, so that you can truly do what is in the best interest of all concerned.

It does not serve the oneness to enable weakness.
It does not serve the oneness to seek to please the personality.
It does not serve the oneness to ignore your own needs.
It does not serve the oneness to ignore the needs of others.

Again, to serve the oneness you must listen deeply and ask:
What best serves the oneness in this situation?

When you ask and listen in this way the deepest needs of all concerned will be addressed.
Everyone matters.

You matter.
Your needs matter.

Others matter.
Their needs matter.

At the deepest spiritual level there is consensus about what serves the whole.
Seek to serve at the deepest spiritual level.

Ask frequently:
What best serves the oneness in this situation?

Listen in this way and allow yourself to be guided in right action.

Listen deeply.
Listen deeply.

This is the way of service and respect.

Listen deeply.
Listen deeply and you will be guided.

Listen deeply.
Listen deeply and seek to do the loving thing.

The loving thing is what serves the need of the spirt.

The only way you will know what serves the deepest need of the individual is to listen deeply.

Many do not know what they truly need and so you can not always please the personality of those with whom you interact.

Listen deeply.
Listen deeply.

Do not seek to please the personality.
Seek to please the spirit.

Listen deeply.
Listen deeply and you will know what to do.

Listen deeply and you will know what to do.

Be patient and allow knowing to unfold.

True Love is the Giving of Freedom

True love is the giving of freedom and
so I give you freedom.

You are free to be you.
You are free to follow your deepest impulses, even if they lead you away from me.

True love is freedom.

And I want my freedom too.
I want freedom to be me.

I don’t want to be your unpaid counselor.
I don’t want to be pulled at to hold up your ship.

I have my own ship to sail.
And so true love is freedom.

I give you freedom and
I give myself freedom too.

I give myself freedom to put energy into my own world.
I give myself freedom to be me.

I give myself freedom to listen deeply and respond to my deepest impulses.
I give myself freedom to let go of feelings of obligation and allow my spirit to move me.

I don’t live to please you.
I live to please my own inner spirit which is always leading me to where I most need to be.

At the deepest level there is consensus.
It is not your needs versus my needs.

At the deepest level there is only what best serves the oneness.

When you are in a deep place in you and I am in a deep place in me,
There is consensus about what is best for the whole.

And so I give you freedom to listen deeply within and
I give myself that same freedom.

You are free and
I am free.

You are free and
I am free.

True love is giving freedom.
And so I set us both free.

I am free and you are free.
I am free and you are free.

I am free and you are free.
I am free and you are free.

Free to be yourself even if it takes you away from me.
A plate of freedom and love all around.

I am free and you are free.
I am free and you are free.

It is okay to feel lost sometimes.

It’s okay to feel lost sometimes.

It’s okay to feel lost sometimes.
Somedays you feel on top of the world.

Invincible.
Strong
Capable

The God force in all its glory.

And somedays you feel lost.
And somedays you feel humble

And somedays you are not sure if you know anything of any use to anybody.

It’s okay to feel lost sometimes.

Some days you are strong.
Some days you are invincible.
Some days you are loving and wise.

And some days you are lost.

Not sure which way is up.
Not sure is divine favor still shines down on you.

I’m not sure why this is.
Perhaps we are all learning humility.

I went to a psychic once who looked at me and said you used to be arrogant, But now you are humble.

Do you understand what I am saying? He asked.

Yes.
Yes, I do. I reply.

Life has humbled me.
Life has brought me to my knees.

And still I forget.
It’s okay to be lost sometimes.

It’s okay.
It’s okay.

Where ever you are at today, it’s okay.

I used to be arrogant.
Now I am humble.

It’s okay.
It’s okay.

It is really okay.

The Long Walk Home

I was walking on the beach about a year before my father died. I was walking and thinking about an interaction I had with him a few days prior. I had asked him if he wanted to go for a walk with me and he said no.

I sort of pushed it a bit:
Come on Dad. Lets go for a walk. I insisted.

Again he said no. Not now. I’m too tired.

(My Dad was an avid walker and he and I had been going on long walks for as long as I could remember)

As I was walking on the beach, reflecting on this interaction, my then, very much alive father, appeared before me in spirit form. (now mind you…this had never happened to me before). Anyway, my father appeared before me in spirit form and began to talk to me.

He said:

Hayley, I have lived a full life and I have completed what I came here to do. I have had the relationships that I was meant to have.

At that point I was shown his long line of relationships: His parents, his brother, my mother, his three kids, his four grandchildren, his friends, etc…etc…

I have had the relationships that I was meant to have. I have completed what I came here to complete. You can help me by letting go and not pulling at me. Let me be. Also, do not interfere with any decisions that your mother will make in the upcoming period of time. Do not argue about flu shots, or medications, or vaccines, or any medical procedures. Sit back. I am preparing to move onto my next chapter. You can help me by letting go and not interfering with the process. Help me to let go by letting go of your attachments to me.

And with that my father’s spirit faded out of sight. And I was left on the beach with the new awareness that my father felt complete here and that I could help him let go by not pulling at him to be the person he once was.

You see my father, who was forever youthful, had aged in the last couple of years and had slowed down quite a bit. I understood that he was winding down his journey but still I had not fully grasped what was happening.

His message to me on that beach was helpful in guiding me about how to be with him. I stopped pushing or pulling and just learned to be with him. I practiced letting go of my attachment to his life here on earth and began to think about having an ongoing relationship even after he left his earthly body.

I am sure I didn’t do this perfectly. Hey, I am human and if I had it my way, no one we loved would pass or go away. But my higher self, of course, understood his message to me and wanted to support him in his journey through space and time and so I practiced loving him and letting him go.

I am still practicing.

My father passed about a year after my walk on the beach. He went relatively quickly and peacefully.

I hope he is enjoying his freedom from the body. I hope that I was supportive to him. I hope I did enough.

I look forward to having another visit from his spirit self when the time is right.
but for now I practice loving him and letting him go.

My father was an explorer and an adventurer at heart. I imagine he is off exploring the great unknown. I hope that he is having a great time.

On a side note my father once asked a group of family members what brought them great joy. His answer to this question was seeming his kids happy. What brings me bittersweet tears of great joy is thinking of my father as truly happy.

Fly free Daddy, and much love.
Fly Free.
