The Age of the Soul & The Purpose of You By Michelle L. Casto

Read an Excerpt From Bright Michelle's Latest Ebook, Evolve Your Soul Series... 

We are here to do a great work because the mind that created us knew what it wanted us to do when it created us. --- Raymond Barker

We are undergoing an alchemical transformation of what it means to be human.

Traditionally, we have held two world views:  material and mystical.   I believe we will be moving beyond a dualistic world view to a holistic worldview where everything---light, dark, material and mystical unify and harmonize.

A Course in Miracles teaches that welfare of the world depends on you learning.  Learning what you might ask?  Learning to live a higher life and learning to actualize your humanity and mature into your divinity. 

The time for spiritual education is here. We can no longer cast a blind eye to the ills, wrongs, and general ignorance of our current reality.  It is time for an end of the ego and the rise of the Soul.

Many prophecies about the Shift of Consciousness that is occurring between now and 2012 have emerged from ancient traditions of the Mayans, Hopi, Zulu. With this ending of a cycle comes a sense of loss and the opportunity for massive expansion.

A new consciousness is being birthed on the planet, I call it the Age of the Soul, because inner lights are being awakened and activated, causing humanity to grow its angel wings.   We are blessed with the very real opportunity to ascend higher up the evolutionary scale, where we can experience our own version of heaven on earth.

You have everything you need to be a pioneer in this new age of practical spirituality.   The good news is that the divine you is not something you need to create. God already did that. The divine you is the light and love that you are. Your job is to clear the blockages so you can shine bright.  

The New energy arriving on planet Earth requires a new and upgraded human being, one in sync with their soul's purpose and strong in loving presence, a divine human.

Now more than ever we are called to trust our inner knowing and make spiritually smart life decisions.

We live in an era that is inspiring souls to awaken and take action. 

Let everyone get in their destined place.   It's time to for us to unite and create a  bright new reality.  This work requires the heart, hands, and intentions of as many people as possible.  We will need to create new solutions to modern-day problems, and be called upon to work together collaboratively. 

First let us understand what the soul is.  As C.S. Lewis so eloquently puts it: 

"You do not have a soul. You are a soul.  You have a body."   The soul is the spiritual essence behind your physical form.   It is eternal, unlimited, and connected to Infinite Intelligence.  It knows who we are, why we are here, and where we are going.

Thus it is no accident that You are here on Earth at this time of the Great Shift in Consciousness (or the fact that you are reading this).

The divine's plan for salvation includes you.  
You are at a choice point. 
Will you choose to ascend or remain stagnant? 

Your answer to this question may reveal how ready you are to show up and shine:

What do you think when you think." if others saw the real me, they would ?"

Marianne Williamson says, "They would be blinded by my light!"
When we can see ourselves as divine, light and love filled beings with wisdom to share, gifts to bring, then we can see it in others.

 

So it's the divine time for YOU to:

1. Reclaim your divine inheritance  
2. Accept that you are anointed and appointed to do great things.
3. Take action on your desires and dreams.
4. Shine your bright light.

Our greatest opportunity will be to stand in our true power and glory-to radiate our light for all to see, no more turning it down so others won't feel uncomfortable or holding back our power and presence.  

In this great awakening, Truth will be revealed and most especially masks will be removed. Games and manipulations will be seen for what they are and the reign of the ego will end.

Socrates said that the purpose of life is the enlightenment of the soul vs the pursuit of materialism that leads to darkness.   Since much of our history has been about the accumulation of things, it seems natural that in this Age of Soul,  for a deep change to occur in where and how we find our happiness.

I hold the belief that the curriculum for our enlightenment has been set by our soul and that LIFE gives us the opportunities to collect the keys to our eternal wisdom. 

In life, we experience 3 major challenges: 
Power-oriented-making a stand/being courageous
Love---expressing and receiving love
Intellect---developing our mind and creating things.

Using the keys to the kingdom, we can grow into our expanded self & fulfill our divine destiny in each of these areas and more.     

3 Keys to the Kingdom

Key 1:  Conscious Learning Learning is the connection for your soul's evolution
Knowing yourself is understanding both your personality and your divinity and creating a life that harmonizes with both aspects of your Self.
Along the way, you may learn lessons, however, the main thing is to learn to be a conscious creator and masterfully apply the skills of cognition and choice to manifest a reality that you adore.

Key 2:  Soul Purpose
To discover and live one's soul purpose is essential to your well being.  
Look within at your desires, dreams, aspirations, and longings that you carry in your heart of hearts.
Ask not, Can I do it?  But Will I enjoy it? 
Ask not, What can I get, Ask, What Can I give?

Fulfilling your purpose means creating a pathway to your soul's highest happiness and inner fulfillment, which can be expressed in 3 ways-universal purpose, personal purpose, and professional purpose.
(To discover your Soul's Purpose:  http://www.brightlightcoach.com/life-purpose.html)

Key 3:  Conscious Creation
Understanding the idea that thoughts are things is the first step to re-creating your reality.   Harnessing the laws of the universe such as law of attraction, law of action, law of reciprocity, law of intention, etc will make this effortless.
The first and most important step is to make the decision to be happy and successful. Keep in mind,  the brain does not make the human, the human makes the brain by what he thinks about, focuses on, and what he allows to influence his thinking.

A classic explanation of all this comes from the book, As a Man Thinketh   by James Allen:

"Of all the beautiful truths pertaining to the soul which have been restored and brought to light in this age, none is more gladdening or fruitful of divine promise and confidence than this - that man is the master of thought, the molder of character, and maker and shaper of condition, environment, and destiny."

Here is how it works: As you begin to know yourself, you begin to master yourself. As you begin to master yourself, you begin to recreate your reality based on your soul's longings and desires

Here is an Affirmation to empower you:

I absolutely know and experience my  brilliant and illuminated mind.
Light energy from heaven guides my path and from here my genius shines brightly.

Heal Your Soul with Emotional Support to Attract...

There are two parts of you--- an ego and your soul.

The ego is the false you, a mask constructed to help get your emotional needs met. Based on feedback from other egos, you create a persona that is likeable and acceptable to others.

Your soul is your true essence, and this part of you is unlimited, original and eternal. Your soul is here to express itself and to shine brightly and radiantly, despite what other egos might think.

As we march into 2010, which holds the promise of every great thing, you are at a choice point.

How do you choose which path to take. the lower, boring, mediocre road or the higher, exciting and divine road?

Perhaps you reflect back over your life and realize how much more happiness, success, love, and peace you could have experienced if you had thought or acted with a higher consciousness.

Maybe you look ahead and have big dreams that you secretly wish to accomplish but find that little devil called doubt creeping in much too often, and find yourself right back into "default mode."

Maybe you have awoken to the fact that whenever you settle for less than your hearts desires, it does not work out anyway.

And maybe just maybe, you finally realize that it will never work because it is not what is meant for you.

I know what it is like...I was stumbling and struggling along for years, just barely making it by financially and emotionally. I was low on the resources of love and money. When I started learning my lessons, taking notice, becoming self-aware, I began to trust myself and the universe to truly take care of me. When I began to trust, I began to let go of the steering wheel, and allow myself to enjoy the ride, putting God in charge of my destination.

After literally bumping my head several times in dangerous car accidents, a few broken hearts, and a starving bank account, I decided it was time to wake up from the trance and start enjoying the dance!

So here's the Truth as I know it.

You are encoded for greatness, and by accepting less than your heart's desires, you are not living up to your fullest potential.

Now is the time to make a lasting change in your consciousness. You can choose to create a new life with better and happier outcomes.

However, if you are divided in your heart or worse yet, an Ego is in charge, this year (and every year henceforth) will turn out much like the last year, disappointing.

ACIM teaches that the ego fears change because it associates it with death/annihilation.

So what is your soul to do?

Your inner self thrives on learning, change and growth.

Answer: Get Emotional Support and Mentoring.

My brand of Soul Coaching gets to the heart of the matter in light speed. Clients receive the benefits of unconditional acceptance, encouragement, knowledge to move them forward, and structure to keep them on the right track.

Whether you receive support from me or someone else, I challenge you to reach out and ask for assistance in your personal evolution. There are many amazingly gifted professionals in the field of emotional healing---try a new modality. See a reiki master, yoga teacher, resonance repatterning practitioner, or personal coach and begin to shift your consciousness, grow your soul, and attract more happiness and success.

Michelle's Prayer:

 

Michelle's Prayer 8/2/08 (reprinted from shiftinaction.com)

This came to me today while I was lying in the sunshine....

Dear God,

Hear my prayer.

Heal me. Teach Me. Guide Me.

Heal my mind of all negative and irrational thoughts.
Heal my eyes so I can see only goodness and higher potential.
Heal my ears so I can hear only positivity and joy,
Heal my heart so I can only feel love and compassion.
Heal my body so it attracts only like-minded and soul-centered human beings.
Heal my soul of any generational beliefs or programs of separation and anxiety.

Heal this planet, oh lord, of narcissism sexism, hatred, jealousy, greed, and unconscious consumption.

Allow me to play a part in the evolution of consciousness.
Teach me what I most need to know and understand about being a being of Light.
Teach me to activate myself and others into inspired action.

Guide me, God/Goddess, to whom I can help and to where I can do the most good.

May my will be aligned with your will.
As the light of the U that I am, I bless the world and claim Success, Happiness, & Righteousness.

So be this now and eternally.

Response from Charles: 

Everything you've been inspired to pray, is already prepared for you to receive at an appointed time in your genetic development.

This is an unrealized truth because we rarely consider the linear path of our inner desire to be connected to a larger whole, and the outer part of us that is drawing our awareness and will bring our consciousness back to wholeness.

I really hope you remember this prayer you've poetically crystallized so you are prepared to witness the transformation you've requested.
It's very important that you become aware of yourself becoming what you've prayed for Michelle.
That is what "actualization by activation" is, okay?

I don't remember his name but, one the speakers in "what The Bleep Do We Know?" mentioned this process a couple of times.
We ask, and then observe opportunities to become.
And always express gratitude when you see something different about you.

If you ever feel the need to modify such a wonderful request for wholeness and unity with the invisible creator of all that is visible...

Add to your prayer, "show me how you..." or, "show me the way to..." or "open my understanding of...", "so that I may comfort others, with the comfort by which I myself have been comforted."

When ever I've requested any knowledge, wisdom, insight or understanding with this sincere intention...I've never been disappointed.

So, despite what we've erroneously been taught to believe for generations about life, living and successful survival:
Humanity's true intent for seeking Truth is to know Joy...
Our true intent for seeking Joy is to know Love...
Our true intent for seeking Love is to know we are One in the eternal reality.

That's why any and all of life's difficulties, disturbances, and dangers are so we will get to know the best of our better intentions.
