Emotional Truth About Life
By Rev. Melissa Leath

Being a spiritual/Metaphysical counselor for many years,

I get many questions about energy. Most of the time it is
about someone or a situation that is 'negative' in nature.
A client will ask if her boyfriend has negative energy. Or
if the job they have is a negative influence on them, because
bad things keep happening to them.

But I have found over the many years I've been in this work,
that no one or thing is negative. Energy is energy. It is
how we perceive it, through our belief system, making it
negative or positive.

The whole idea of energy and frequency and vibration can be
complicated---if you let it. So let's look at it in a simplistic view.

Vibration and Frequency

Divine Source created All of Life, the whole of the
universe. It was manifested through perfection. So all atoms
are created (manifested) as perfection. No matter what is
made with them, they must, by logic, be perfect. If we look
to science for an explanation of matter, then we can see
that everything has vibrational frequency according to its
nature. It all is made up of molecules and atoms. 

These atoms vibrate at different rates, and therefore
produce different things: the human body, a tree, jello, a
computer, the kitchen sink, or living room wall. All of
these are made out of atoms. They all vibrate at different
rates, making it jello or a wall. It all depends on the rate
of vibration as to how dense or solid that object is.

No matter what it is, the vibration is perfect for what it
is. So it goes with the way we look at a situation, person
or thing. If you believe that situation to be good then
that's how you'll experience it. If the person you meet, you
see as negative, then that's how you'll think of them.

Look at the Perfection

I always encourage clients and workshop attendees to view
the person or situation as originating in perfection. Then,
imagine how that situation may have gotten to the place of
perceived disaster. What could have happened to the person
they were thinking of to make them seem so negative? What
circumstances must have they experienced, and what things
must have been said to them as a young child, that could
create such a mass of misery?

If we can get past the misery that is covering their God
light, then we can remember how perfect that person really
is. 

That's the part that can be loved. That's the God. 

And that is all we are required to love. The part of them
that is in misery, does not have to be addressed. And by not
paying attention to it, it actually does not exist.

We, also, are covered by the result of thinking. The way we
re-act to circumstances through out our lives, clouds our
aura. It confuses the way we look at life and the way life
sees us.

In my understanding, the only true emotion in this life is
that of love. The Universe created the Spirit through pure
love. And that is the only driving force of life---love.
There is no such thing as 'unconditional hate', or
'unconditional envy'. All the prophets and great spiritual
leaders spoke of love. When a small child is asked about
God, he will say, "God is Love."

The heart has long been the symbol of love. But it is more
than a feeling for our parents or spouse. It also includes
joy, ecstasy, compassion, happiness, satisfaction and honor.
These are all cousins of love.

The heart chakra, being the next level beyond third
dimensional existence, is the first chakra of the astral
body. It actually cushions or bridges the material and
spiritual worlds. According to Rosalyn Bruyere, in her book,
Wheels of Light, A Study of Chakras, the heart contains
'second feelings', which are quite different than the first.
Also, it contains transformation. 

I believe that this heart area of our astral body, which
connects the physical and spiritual realms, gives us a
second chance to look at the action to life experiences. Now
we can look through the eyes of the Creator, with love for
the Universe.

We are all part of the Whole of the Universe. Since the
Universe is always growing, expanding and becoming All It
Can Be, spirit beings in human form are set into a place to
share their life experience with the Universe. The Universal
Creator cannot experience life on Earth as a physical form
in any other way. We are that extension of Mother-Father
God.

Keep It at Arms Length

The human experience is connected to the Creator by a pure
silver cord of love. This is the only way life experiences
can be directed back to the Universe---through love. It's
the only language that Spirit understands. The love emotion
is the only way to put all earth experiences and feelings
into correct perspective. Whenever we experience life
actions, those feelings need to be pulled up into the heart.
We can then put the feeling at arms length, seeing it in a
different perspective through love, and release it.

Love helps put everything in order. It softens the feeling
and the degree of intensity. The Universal Creator then
easily assists in resolving the situation. Through love,
there is surrendering and allowing God to have it. All
obstacles seem to move out of the way. The re'soul'ution
appears.

Once it is explained in this manner, it almost seems too
simplistic to be true. This heart-bridge information on
feelings and emotion is the natural way of experiencing life
and dealing with actions. Life can be that simple.

We are realizing that we are all go-betweens, existing here
(in the third dimension), and there (in the spiritual
dimension), trapped in the physical body. Now it is our
goal to learn how to operate in this manner and know that we
are spiritual, blending our energies in the secular. We
recognize that we are the centralized component; the center;
the heart of the matter; in between.

Everything we thought we knew---is no more. Logical thinking
flies out the door. There is no Reason. It's not even
ground breaking circumstances, for there is no ground. The
ground work has already been done. Next is the water:
flowing and buoyant. 

Flowing water clears any rubble or dirt from its self. Just
by the act of flowing, the water keeps the energy moving and
always changing. The buoyancy of the water allows us to
always have our heads up and be in awareness. Effortlessly
floating, allowing the water to take us where we really must
be.

The last millennium was the sign of the Fish. The Piscean
age was letting go of old paradigm thinking and beliefs. It
gave us a chance to finalize or complete life situations
that we were not happy with, or were not serving us well. 

Now we can enter into the Aquarian Age with no baggage. We
only need our true selves and the faith it takes for that
running leap into the water! That is what going in to the
21st century is all about. Taking that leap into the
unknown----the Lake of True Knowledge and Wisdom.

Question everything you have ever believed.
