I'm also not too hot on the idea that we chose to be here, but then a lot of people believe that stuff.
Love Shows the Way
We Are Here to Serve
We are living in a time of great change. Many thinkers and seers agree that humanity and the planet Earth are evolving at a quickened pace, and that this evolution will necessarily be severe and seemingly chaotic at times. It is natural for people to react with fear, because these changes will doubtless bring some level of difficulty and loss to many of us. However, it is essential that we all remember that our souls chose to be here at this time and to be part of this process. Every movement in the universe is a movement toward love. This is true even in situations that appear on the surface to be the opposite of loving.
Since we chose to be here, we are capable and ready to rise to the challenges in which we find ourselves. It is helpful to reflect on our own lives and make any changes necessary to fully support humanity and the planet into the state of love. When we open our hearts in love instead of closing them in fear, we serve the divine process. We are all powerful spirits who took form at this time in order to serve our fellow humans, our planet, and the universe. As we find ways we can serve, our fear dissipates. We may serve by remaining calm and loving with our children and our families, even as the situation seems dark. We may serve by sending money to people who need financial assistance. We may serve by going out into the world and actively helping to rebuild lives. Regardless of what actions we choose to take, the essential element will be the internal gesture of choosing to remain in love. This is all that is needed.
When it is difficult to remain in love, we may always call upon our unseen helpers: the teachers and guides who are always with us. All we need to do is ask and then trust that we are being helped. The guidance we receive is love itself, showing us the way.

"The whole thing about unseen helpers and guides is a bit woo woo for me -- these are simply parts of ourselves that we haven't integrated."
Another way I have opened to looking at this concept is that helpers and guides also take the form of people in our lives, whether family, friends or a random "stranger" in the grocery store, or even a tree, for that matter. While they are, in a relative sense, external to the subjective self, they offer a mirror. Some of us see hate or judgement reflected back; some see love and inspiration. These guides are a critical part of the human experience, offering information to help us move closer to wholeness, if we so choose.
Thanks for the increased traffic recently, BTW. 8)
Hey Colin,
I agree with what you say. But I tend to take a Jungian approach to this idea -- what isn't integrated is projected.
If we are in need of guidance and don't know how to access it from within ourselves, psyche will project that need onto people we come in contact with who can fill that need for us.
And for those who see things from a magical/mythic viewpoint, this can manifest as angels, spirit guides, and so on.
Whatever works.
Peace,
Bill
