I oftentimes compare and contrast what we learn from direct spirit communication and interaction (whether it be in readings or spirit research with the Washington State Ghost Society) to what was written in ancient biblical texts, and to what organized religion says about the nature of man and how it equates to the notion of God's love for us (FYI, I prefer the term "Great Creative Force" over the term "God"). I find myself often at odds with the notion that the Great Creative Force perceives us as "fallen," or "broken" or "off-the-mark." Indeed, those in the spirit world tell us how much we are loved, that judgment is nothing like what has been told to us, and that we were actually born perfect.
"Perfect? Really?" I can hear you saying.
Actually, yes.
Those in spirit are telling us that we were born perfect, for the simple fact that we have the ability to express and experience all outcomes (good and bad) so that we may have access to all roads of learning and expression. "Perfection" is not an "end state" of static being, but rather the functionality inherent within our design. Only love would grant the ability to potentially experience all possible states, positive or negative. Those on the Other Side tell us that If we did not have access to all these different avenues, then we would be stunted; we would not fully learn; we would be held back in whatever was needed for us to become the greatest expression and reflection of the Great Spirit that we can be. Without this perfection of experiencing all probabilities and states, spirituality would be more like a prison, rather than the unconditional love that is given us to experience All There Is.
So as we march forward to that day of love this month, take a moment to reflect on just how much you are loved from those on the Other Side -- it is truly unconditional. All paths to learning, to spirituality, to the Great Creative Force are already being lived by you and through you. If you weren't loved, then such capabilities would not even exist.
