Welcome, my dear ones. Wonderful it is to communicate with you in this manner.
Often, I have spoken to you of your perfection, of how I see you in your perfected state. To me, you are all ideal combinations of love, beauty, talent, wisdom, compassion, and all other qualities you deem desirable. But this concept of your own perfection is one that can, as you might say, “push your buttons” and cause you discomfort. I do not intend to cause you discomfort, so let’s examine how it arises. I have felt it often enough in Anchor’s mind to know how easily it can become a chronic feeling in your lives.
Did you notice that I feel the discomfort in Anchor’s mind? That is because it is the mental processing of the idea of being perfect that sparks the negative emotional response. (Her wise heart/spirit knows better!) This mental processing involves the observation of the situation and surrounding circumstances, the formation of a thought or thoughts about the situation, and the emotional response to those thoughts. The mind—which, in this sense, includes all mental and emotional functions—is the domain of the ego/personality self. When the ego/personality self looks at the human being to which it belongs, it first observes, then thinks, then feels. Here’s an example: Person observes that she is stuck in a traffic jam. Person thinks, “This delay will make me miss my favorite television show.” Person feels irritation and disappointment. Of course, you, my dearest children, are more complicated than this simple scenario suggests, but it illustrates the process.
So how does this apply to you feeling discomfort about your innate perfection? Well, your ego/personality observes the details about your life, thinks that some of them are undesirable (and therefore, imperfect), and responds with negative emotions like disappointment, disillusionment, sorrow, or anger. And then if you think, “But Mother of Souls says that I am perfect just as I am,” confusion will enter the emotional picture. When this happens to you, when you have decided that you are lacking in some way, that you are old/fat/stupid/needy/ugly/sick—in other words, imperfect–then I would ask you to look at what has caused you to judge yourself thusly.
The answer almost always, I promise you, dear ones, will be external standards that are at odds with who you are in your perfected state. These are standards that you have allowed to be imposed upon you, often because you had no knowledge of your ability to reject them. I will use the example most prominent in Anchor’s mind, for she has had a lifelong sensitivity to this issue: the weight of the physical body. Your doctors and experts have decided that a healthy (e.g., perfect) human should weigh a certain amount, based on the individual’s height and build. Although many of your manifested physical bodies do not fit these standards, you chose to accept them anyway, and then, oh, how you abuse yourselves when you observe that your physical body does not match the “ideal”! You interpret your overweight/underweight body as a personal failure. (If your height was more easily changed than your weight, you’d be obsessed with losing or gaining height to fit into the normal/healthy/perfect range! And because you are intensely aware of your Earthly, physical existence, many of your “hang-ups” focus on the physical or material aspects of your life.) Can you not accept that you are perfect as you are, even if your body is currently 30 pounds heavier that what other people, especially those considered experts, say it should be? Can you not at least entertain the idea that at this moment, it is absolutely appropriate for you to have the physical body you currently inhabit, complete with all its perceived flaws, aches, illnesses, and dysfunctions?
Please do not misunderstand: I do not want you to be unhealthy or unhappy. You do not want you to be unhealthy or unhappy. Wellbeing is part of your essence. But remember that the experiences you judge as unwanted serve to lead you toward the wanted ones. Having a negative experience is not evidence of failure; it is evidence of your faith in your ability to transform and create a new experience that is more in harmony with the perfected you. And only you have the right to determine what you want. Let that statement sink in, and then take it further: Only you have the right to determine what you want, and only you can know how to create it. In other words, you are the highest expert on you. Don’t give that authority away to anyone else. Other people may have much to say about what they think you want and will offer suggestions/advice/orders about how you can get it. It’s okay to listen; you may resonate with something they say and want to follow their advice, especially if they seem to have attained the experience or have assisted others in attaining the experience you are beginning to create for yourself. However, at these times, I would ask you to pay close attention to your inner being. Ask yourself what you truly want. The answer may not be what you initially think. Learn to discern whether you are being influenced by external standards or whether you are feeling a loving push toward your perfected manifestation. Once you know what you—and only you—want, let the path toward it unfold. Again, search your inner guidance (which is really Mother’s voice, here in your heart!) when you are presented with other people’s opinions about how to achieve your desire. Only you can know how to create your perfect experience. You may experiment by trying methods developed by others, but please, dear children, do not turn against yourselves if you do not succeed. You have merely detoured from your path, and those detours can provide many curious and interesting opportunities for growth. As always, I say come back to your center, to your heart, bask in the unconditional love that is your core; you will “get your bearings” and be energized and ready to set off in the direction that is best for you.
The people who have studied particular aspects of your physical world and have become experts in their fields base their knowledge and authority on truth and facts. It is easy for you to be influenced by what you accept as “truth” or “fact” because of the associated energy, but far fewer things are absolutely true or factual than you might suppose. When you created this third-dimensional world into which you would incarnate for the thrill of expansion through physicality, you all agreed to abide by certain rules. The first of these are often called the Universal Laws, and I know from Anchor’s thoughts that they have been articulated through several other sources, so I will not discuss them here. The Universal Laws apply across all dimensions; hence, they are absolutely true at all times and in all places (from your 3D perspective, for time and place differ from one dimension to another). Other rules apply uniquely to your third-dimensional reality. Some of these have been discovered by your scientists and classified as your Earth-based laws of physics and mathematics. As Earth beings, you find these rules to be extremely reliable. Very likely, you have never witnessed the failure of one in your current lifetime. Yet, because they function only in the third dimension, they are not absolute truth or fact. The dimensions do not exist within discrete boundaries, never interacting, never touching each other. Instead, there are transition zones where dimensions overlap; when and where this overlapping occurs, the dimensional rules may change. Do you understand why I regard these rules as less than absolute truth? And, my dears, you have developed a great hierarchy of rules and laws and “truths” and “facts”—from those you have scientifically deduced or created from the dimensional rules, to your religious doctrines, to your governmental regulations, to your traffic rules and social etiquette and play structure. The further down the hierarchy, the easier the rule is to change, especially when it no longer makes sense for the way most of you live. While it may be easy for you to imagine changing the rules at the bottom of this hierarchy, what about the ones at the top?
The rules at the top of the hierarchy (for instance, the law of gravity) are harder to defy than those at the bottom (a “keep off the grass” sign) because they carry the energetic weight of a consensus reality that preceded Earth’s physical manifestation and continues in your present. Each of you was and is part of the consensus. You set up the “rules of the game,” so to speak, to guide your physical existence on the planet. But your lives on Earth are changing. So many of you, my dear, perfect children, have developed and progressed and expanded that you are already living in the transition zones between the third, fourth, and fifth dimensions, and you should be aware that the rules you are used to accepting as real or true or factual may not always hold. You should also be aware that because you made those dimensional rules, you can amend them. You will have to fight the strength of the old consensus at times, but please do not let yourselves get frustrated. Instead, take notice of those moments when your experience defies the rules. Let those incidents inspire you. As your consciousness shifts into higher aspects of your self, be ready for your reality and the rules governing it to be flexible. I am not advocating that you all become anarchists and rebels, that you do imprudent or dangerous things in an attempt to disprove the laws of physics. No, that would create disharmony in your world, and it is not in the nature of love to create disharmony. Rather, I want you to find what is true for you, knowing that your truth may differ from the truth of your brothers and sisters. Let your heart guide you to live by your rules, by your truth, and you will be living your perfect life.
Dimensional transitions can be difficult, precisely because the rules can change from moment to moment. You sense of reality fluctuates and feels unstable. All the more reason, my dearest ones, to strengthen your connection with me. I am your Mother, I am your center, I am your security. Do not fear the expansion of your consciousness beyond this 3D Earth, for I permeate all dimensions. I will always be with you. I will always encourage you. And I will always, always trust you to know what you want and what you need to create the life that is perfect for you, even when you doubt yourselves. Compare yourselves to others briefly, if you wish, just to notice the options they have chosen, but do not allow your ego/personality to judge the comparison as better or worse, only different. Let others inspire your existence, not dictate it. Be as confident in yourselves as I am in you. Each of you is an artist of the highest creativity. Each of you is creating the unique masterpiece of your life from the materials that your Earthly existence supplies. Don’t try to force your creation to be a copy of someone else’s; that would deprive the world of your own special vision—one that will change and evolve as your spirit expands. Most of all, my children, I wish you to play, to laugh, to enjoy, and to dance with the shifting energies around you. You are under my protection; it is safe to be yourselves. It is safe to be joyful. It is safe to love yourselves, just as you are, in this moment. You are eternally perfect, my precious children of love.
