“Judgments are thoughts, and thoughts are living, moving energy. Because energy attracts like energy, judgment attracts judgmental people. The world is a mirror in which we glimpse ourselves. If there are judgmental people around us, it may be that life is asking us to examine our own willingness or tendency to judge.”

“So, if you feel pure anger inside because of your past, that is a good thing. Welcome it. Far better to feel it than to have it express itself in destructive behavior like addictions or obsessive thinking. Those are perverted forms of expression. The first step in therapeutic healing is to address the anger in pure form as the energy-in-motion that it is. Do not be afraid of the power of your anger. “If you let anger speak through your body, at some point it will be released and you will find deep grief”

“Victim consciousness tends to be self-perpetuating. If you believe yourself to be a victim, you vibrate at the frequency of a victim and energetically draw to yourself experiences that will confirm in your mind that you are a victim. One key to breaking this cycle is to release blame, for blame places you vibrationally at the frequency of victim consciousness. We may more easily release blame when we take responsibility for having agreed to our life plans. Such self-responsibility is the fertile ground in which expanded consciousness and self-knowledge blossom.”

“And where I’ve judged, I now see a divine order to and in everything. Where I’ve seen flaw, I now see perfection—the perfection of lives unfolding just as we planned them. Such unfolding is evident not only in our challenges, but also in the most minute, seemingly insignificant aspects of life. Each leaf that falls from a tree, each blade of grass that bends in the wind … nothing happens by chance, and all is in divine order. Always.”

“As we enter the physical plane, we are love temporarily hidden from itself. When we remember who we really are, our inner light, our love, shines forth for all to see. That, I believe, is why we are here.”

“Incarnation does not literally remove us from our eternal Home; rather, it simply limits our capacity to see the nonphysical parts of it. Death, then, is the dissolution of the veil that screened the nonphysical realm from us.”

“The spirit of humanity is called upon to heal the wounds that centuries of fear, struggle, and separation have caused. The crises humanity is facing are to be solved, not by inventions of the mind like new technologies, but by the awakening of the heart, one human at a time. “You are alive today because your soul wants to help humanity ascend to heart-based consciousness. It is by going through your own challenges and finding the opportunity within them that you contribute most to humanity’s well-being. Your contribution is not so much what you do as who you are. It is your awareness that makes the difference. As more of you invite heart-based consciousness into your lives, it becomes easier for others to make the transition to a new way of being: at peace with themselves, humanity, and nature.”

“Ultimately, then, the purpose of every life challenge is the same: to grant us the opportunity to embrace that which we have so far resisted.”

“The same love and wisdom are showered upon all of us, whether or not our conscious minds can identify nonphysical beings as their source. Their guidance is offered to all in the form of feelings, intuition, impulses, images, and the yearnings of our hearts. It is up to us to listen.”

“We would ask those of you who find yourselves thinking judgmental thoughts about the perpetrators of what you see as harm to know that there is always a positive outcome to be served by the misery. We would say to you that misery is the illusion. We would say that people who open a newspaper or turn on their television, see world events, and judge them as negative are simply taking the easy road and not thinking things through. There is always something deeper. There is always something more. There is always meaning. We hope that the examples in this book will help to teach people to think two and three times about the meaning and value of diversity and how it is the catalyst to growth.”

“A great shift in consciousness is now occurring on our planet. This shift depends completely upon those of us who are in body to raise our vibration, which means, quite simply, being the most loving people we can be. As we raise our vibration, Earth rises in vibration as well. Spirit guides, angels, loved ones, and others in the nonphysical realm can send love, wisdom, light, and inspiration to us, but we must receive and embody these gifts. The nonphysical beings who love and guide us cannot create a shift in human consciousness for us.”

“Nothing is done, nothing is said, nothing is thought that does not create a ripple effect outward from the being itself through emotional vibration that moves through all of the dimensions.”

“A recurring message of this book is that our vibration affects the universe far more than our actions do, that who we are matters more than what our bodies do. The hermit who sits alone on a mountaintop radiating a vibration of peace does more to bring harmony to the world than the angry peace marcher, whose frequency serves only to create more of the very thing against which he rails so vehemently. For this reason, the limitations of Jason’s body in no way restrict his energetic impact; to the contrary, they drive it. His healing will be our healing; his peace, the world’s peace.”

“these words, the angel conveyed a primary purpose of life challenges: to show us how our thoughts and feelings create our reality. Challenges are mirrors that reflect to us our feelings about ourselves. In that sense, they are gifts. Wisdom allows us to recognize them as such.”

“All judgment of others is cloaked self-judgment. It is necessarily so. Profound spiritual growth occurs when we bravely pull that cloak away and acknowledge how we feel about ourselves. This process is difficult and requires unflinching self-candor, but its rewards are great.”

“For the soul, grief is an expression of love, and every expression of love is healing. If we resist grief, we literally wrap energy around our pain and lock it into place. Crying is the body’s natural means for clearing such energetic density; tears keep energy flowing and so allow for further healing.”

“All who experience themselves as courage grow in self-love. Many wonder why, after making a courageous decision, the feeling of self-love later fades and difficult circumstances recur. The Universe always supports a courageous decision, but it also requires the individual to continue to make courageous decisions, one after another. Many are not able to do so. When they do not, their light quite literally dims, and their diminished vibration remagnetizes challenges into their lives. These challenges are planned as potentials prior to birth, and they constitute some of the timelines Staci sees in the pre-birth planning charts. When Jim and Sue moved to California and Jim chose a “return to repression,” that is, when he reversed some of his previously courageous decisions by choosing fear over love, he drew to himself a period of difficulty that was intended to allow him to choose again. Ultimately, Jim grew in self-love, not because he made one brave decision to disclose his sexuality to Sue but because he made many courageous choices over a period of years. His road to self-love was steep, long, and made longer by a detour into repression, yet courageously did he continue. Because teaching is learning, pre-birth plans are designed to afford us the opportunity to teach what we most need to learn.”

“You had a very passionate nature and couldn’t understand why you were ignoring her sexually. When she was pregnant—great!—you were off duty for nine months. She was well fed, clothed, and respected in the community, but there was no big love for her. Your love was for the idea of Family—capital F, the next generation—and the populating of the community. After this life was over, Sue said she wanted a life where you really loved her for herself.”
