A Spiritual Wonderland

 

Dear Soul is a column I created so that people can write and receive spiritual advise.  I use the tools of my Spirit in responding to your letters.

Here are some past letters I wrote to myself and will continue as we go along. :) Keep in mind I will post your questions and responses here on my website, but names can be anonymous of course...please let me know.

I hold all that is asked of me in God's Light and what is best for your highest and greatest good. Thank you and hope to hear from you soon!

Dear Soul...My Eternal Penpal

Oct 21,2006

Dear Soul,

It is so wonderful to meet you! I cant wait to learn all about you!  I am 43 years old and female in this earthly life. I live in beautiful New England where the trees are now turning colors of gold, red, and orange. I have three lovely children and am a single mother. I am originally from New York, but have traveled through many states and cities. Many of them in the hot southern states like Mississippi, Florida, and Texas.  I have even lived in the Mojave Desert in California. With hot winds, black widows, scorpions, and snakes. Hmm, I wonder if that was my little hell on earth. Haha  Life has now brought me back to this place of changing seasons. Seems to be very fitting, doesnt it?  I have missed it so very much!

Where is it that you live? Where did you come from?

I look forward to hearing from you!
Victoria



This Moment

Dear Victoria

It already feels like I have known you forever! I look forward to our communications!

I will tell you that I am of many ages and many places. I hope this doesnt confuse you.

I will try to explain. For now, I live in similar place that you live, but with a much more colorful existance. I live up and down, backwards and forwards, sideways and diagonally, inside and out, over and under, and every which way in between. It will take many letters to describe them all, but we have forever, so there is plenty of time!

I come from a Source of Light which some call God....there are many names for this God, but One Source....LOVE! In my initial creation it felt like a swirl of sparkles blending and dancing within each other and from these Lighted Rays of bursting energy came many tiny lights...ongong and infinite... each with a journey.   We all knew each other and felt the connection for there was only Love and Light...no more, no less...it was the most magical, perfect, miraculous balance. 

And so it began! I live this Light each moment of my eternal existance. Also for myself, I was created with another specifically...two lights separate, but from the same Ray of Light, twinkling together in a way that felt different than with the others. We made a promise to always reconnect and remember each other and our home for we knew that the journey ahead would bring challenges and times of what you might call memory loss? :)

I will tell you more of this in another letter though for I must ask you a question now. Have you ever sat quiet as a little girl and played in lands beyond your earth?  Some call this the imagination...another place I have been known to make my playground.  Do you go there often?  What is it that brings you there?  Can you describe some of the places you visited inside of you?

Yours in Love and Light,
Soul

Dear Soul,

Wow, your words flow through me like a waterfall reaching those dry places inside of me that I realize now need nurturing. Thank you for a well needed watering. :)
And yes, I have always lived in my Imagination. As a little girl(and a big girl for that matter) it was so easy for me to fly away. My room was a playground filled with trees, faeries, castles, and whatever my little self conjured up!  Or did I conjure it? or just remember it? All I know is...it was my solace and respite...my sanctuary. I could come and go as I please, no matter where I was...I could fly and no one could stop me! I was always able to hear and feel things from those who passed on from this life and it scared me..so did I just escape? I always felt so separate from earth, like where I lived inside of me was more of my Home than where I lived outside of me. Hmm, I'm starting to sound like you! I have to say you trigger such emotions in me and thoughts...I think I like it! :D 
So now tell me, this other soul you were created with...who is it? I have always had a "playmate" in my Imagination...is it the same thing as you speak of?
 
Love
Victoria

Dear Victoria,

The waterfall never stops flowing, but there are times in our humanness that we detour the flow and it needs to be eased back into the rhythm. That is what you call balance...always re-balance. I am here to always help you...keep writing...keep asking...keep feeling! Your Imagination is your Home...it is when we live in the balance that we truly know what is truth and what is of God. You were creating a world yet pulling from places of remembrance. The magic is in the blend of the two. If you create through God...through Love...than it is truth! It will all come clear to you as it does to me.
Now this One you ask about...the One created with me. It is just the Way of Things for me. The Way of Things is the journey of the energy I am. Do I confuse you? Just so you know I am not a reincarnation of Dr. Seuss! Souls have humor too! Everyone is created of the One Source and the connection is continuous, yet we dont always meet every soul created by God and experience a human connection. But with this One as with myself it is ever-present. The Way of Things is the complete experience of lessons and enlightenment.  This One has been, in one shape or form a part of that completeness...past, present,future and The Otherwise.  The Otherwise is the in between. 
You use the word reality in the English language...and it is an interesting word... for in reality, there is no reality.  Well, there I go again.  You must look beyond the words, around the curves, above the dots...look to the hyphen...for it will bring that completeness and understanding.  With this One I am connected to, they are part of the hyphenation in The Way of Things. I do not define that...I just allow, believe, and let BE.  We can talk more about all of this...
 
I look forward to your response...be well, be happy, be Love.
Yours always,
Soul

Dear Soul, 

Well I love Dr. Suess! I think I understand. You will come to find out I am more an obtuse triangle than a square! Hmm now Im nonsensically silly! Honestly I have always felt so different, so "out there." I am coming to a place though with your help in realizing our complete connection and how nothing is separate...every cell of the Universe is One. What an amazing thought and I must meditate more with it and feel it! I am ready to fulfill my journey...to be One with all that I am. Can you help me do that? What is the first step? I feel your hand in mine more than ever...thank you and I shall never let it go!

This Moment

Dear Victoria   
 
I will never let go of you. Even in times you may forget I am there. Your completeness is coming...the full circle is being filled!  Allow it, feel it, BE it!  The first step is what you have already done...your desire to be all that you are! Now take each moment and evaluate it!  Where is your Spirit? Where is she going in the moments of your life. What is she doing? Who is she with? Where is she playing? Loving? A moment is like a whisper...so it is in that whisper that it will be determined how quickly the circle will be filled.  I know that sounds simple, but by being in the whisper of your spirit and being aware of your thoughts you are creating all that you ARE!  So I whisper to you now...where are you this moment, Victoria?
 
In love and light,
Soul
