from a seeker

Dear Students, I am posting part of an email from someone, which might interest you. Someone on a path, still seeking, not yet finding, but on his way...
Judy, Thank you for responding to my email seeking information about your near death experience. Your beautifully written account of that remarkable event.  Thank you for sharing with me details of this profoundly spiritual and mystical experience.  It filled me with hope, anticipation, and optimism about the future.

I have been a seeker most of my life, but I have lacked a sense of direction and purpose as to what I needed. Your writing described well the emotional and spiritual fulfillment I have been pursuing, often through earthly means that have left me feeling depleted, not joyous.

I just am so impressed with your daily messages.  I have been seeking inner peace for years and have made progress, but your description suggests a higher level of attainment which is so desirable.

Angel email

Dearest Students,
Here is a copy of an email I sent to a client -- not a student -- so she doesn't have your same understanding, since you work constantly with the angelic principals of Truth, but she does have her own  path. She is very physically challenged, and asked about healing at a spiritual level. Though everyone who is physically challenged or sick must continue always to work at a physical level, a spiritual understanding is also vital. I gave her a reading, and here is the email I also sent her. Perhaps you will benefit from it. I have removed identifying information, of course.

Email to client...

Dear Students, Today I am posting an email I sent to one of my female clients, who has just separated from her husband. I have changed identifying information, to respect confidentiality. I think by reading it, you can learn a great deal. I have kept the words to her soft, so they can be heard. She is not a student, so she does not have the same level of understanding that students achieve over time, but she is a very long term client. Here is the email:

Dearest -----

You have made the physical separation from your husband, now you must make the psychological separation, which can only happen inside you. For so long you have defined yourself in relation to your husband. Over time, that became a definition that was painful to you, and you sought to remove yourself from that pain.

Stay clear that the ego will seek to continue to keep you in pain. That is what ego does. Ego is a pain machine.

Watch the issues of boundaries. Instead of constantly saying that he is overstepping your boundaries, simply, clearly state what you want. To yourself. To him. I’d just leave out the word boundaries, if you can.

Boundaries can be an offensive and defensive word. You needed to use it when you were making your move and getting stronger. Now you can just be an adult and clearly state - "This is what I want. This is what I choose. This is what I am doing. I do not want that. I do not choose that. Not right now, please. Maybe later. NO. Yes."

These are all good statements for you to consider.  You can just say, no. You can say, not now. You can say, no, thank you. You can say, I don’t want to. You can say, Can you please tell me what you mean, because I don’t understand. You can say, yes. You can say, I need time to think about that. You can say, I can’t answer that right now. You can say, I am feeling uncomfortable and need to be with my own energy right now, so I can deal with my feelings.

These are good “I” statements. You will find your own, the more you turn within.

“I” statements will help you go within to find out what you are feeling and thinking. “I” statements tend to be less combative, less offensive, less defensive, less confusing.

Keep in mind, you both love your children. So far your husband has been supportive of your move, providing  for you financially. Do your best to stay with what is, not go into fear. Fear is the greatest weapon of control. Don’t forget that.

People say all kinds of things when they feel attacked and afraid. Do your best not to give power to what people say when they are feeling defensive, afraid, attacked. Try to just see. Really see. Do your best not to react.

Right now, today, everything is okay. Now you have a chance to look at the pain that is within you. When your husband was always there, it was easy to see that your pain was caused by your interaction with him. When he is not there, you have the beautiful opportunity to advance spiritually by taking full responsibility for your own pain — seeing it.

As the angels say, “what you are not aware of controls you. When you become aware of something, it begins to lose control over you.”

The problem is where the pain is. This is a universal truth.

This is a beautiful time for you, an opportunity for expansion and freedom.

I trust that you and your husband will be able to work everything out in a way that serves both of you and your family. Old patterns are being broken. Ego will resist that. Be patient, loving, and kind with yourselves and each other as you work to overcome the feelings of fear, pain, and limitation. You can do it! There is no enemy.

What is beautiful to remember is that even as human beings fight against each other, each of you has an angel who holds you in the light. Angels always work together. When you can attune to your angel, you are attuning to the angel of everyone. This is because angels serve only God’s will, and so angels exist in harmony, even while we exist in conflict.

Love,
Indira

LIVING WITHIN YOUR MEANS

Dear Students,
The following is an email I sent to two clients (not students) who are going through a divorce, trying to decide the best living arrangements for themselves and their children. This email deals with money issues. Perhaps you will find it helpful:

An Open Heart

Dearest Students, I have copied here a letter I just wrote to a student, whom I have advised to write about what it means to her to have an "open heart" . . .  since she feels her heart closes down. She says she has been following my suggestion, so here is my most recent response to her. It may also be helpful to you. I have, of course, left off identifying information:  I am glad you are journaling. I find writing to be incredibly self-revealing and self-healing. As you know, I write all the time...messages every day, a new lesson each month, poetry, to students. The more you write, the better you write, and the more messages can come through, from the angels, from your own heart and intuition. So keep writing.
