In thanksgiving, this week I share with you a letter I received from Spirit — which I call the Inner Master — on my 60th birthday. (I will be 62 Christmas Eve.) These were happy words, personal, healing and encouraging to me in that moment as I reviewed my life, and yet I feel they contain messages that are universal and timeless.
In counseling sessions and the Living From the Soul workshop, I’ve guided many people to look at their lives “through the eyes of the Master,” and all the words that have come through have had this loving, reassuring tone. My hope is that that if you can read it as a letter to you, you will also find relief, understanding and joy as I did. I know some of the wording is a bit unusual, but I’ve left it pretty much as I received it and I think you will get it in whatever way means something to you. Again, I invite you to share your responses; I am grateful for the open and thoughtful comments you’ve been leaving on my articles.
In a while I will have completed 60 years in this life. Do you have any comments?
You aren’t turning 60. You are alive forever and that is what counts. In this eternal home in this universe what matters is that longevity is a given and then we just move into different realms, experiences, realities. So the better question is, “how am I doing?” Or, “is it a good day?”
Today is a difficult one as far as your health is concerned but that need not stop it from being your favorite day of all time (and every day like this). So make it good. Decide, be happy about your life. It has been good so far; nothing bad happened. Only determinants on a life that has growth as its earmark and maturity rising out of life’s experiences and understandings.
