07.09.21 FREEING YOURSELF OF THE BONDAGE OF CARING WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK ABOUT YOU AND YOUR SERVICE. Hello, friends, from the scorching hot high desert of the US West. Climate change is real, and occurs before every polar shift.

Today I'm not going to talk about climate change, but the bondage so many of us willingly consent to by caring about how other people think of us and our actions. We give up our own thoughts and dreams and actions in order to try to please others.

The root of our caring about what other people think of us begins in childhood, as we learn there are positive rewards for making our parents happy with our behavior. It intensifies as we grow up and associate with other kids, who can be very cruel if we don't meet their demands.

The Law of One--set forth by our Creator to protect our individual free will--makes it clear that we are asked not to judge others for their actions, and to forgive them for their perceived weaknesses and mistakes. Each of us is on our own path of learning.

Ideally, we would all be living in Unity Consciousness, where we observe the actions of others and think, "Ok, that's their choice," and don't think any more about it. Sadly, Unity Consciousness is very hard to find on this planet.

Here, we seem to be constantly judged and maligned simply because we choose to act or talk the way we do, or believe things that are contrary to what our culture or family supports. Many of us left our families and culture to strike out on our own, to avoid judgment.

Worrying about what others are saying or thinking about you is very much like being handcuffed to a chair. Worry about the judgments of others prevents us from being ourselves, and from reaching our true potential in serving the Light.

We knew, when we made the journey to this *very-far-out-there planet*, that our service and ideas would be rejected by most of those whom we encountered while we are here. We were prepared to be persecuted and rejected, in the hopes that just one would hear our message of hope.

After many incarnations, many of us lost sight of the fact that rejection and judgment would be part of the experience here on this planet. We started to adapt human thinking, that our reputation and message must be adapted to those we serve.

In adopting that thinking, many of us us lost the true essence of ourselves and our service. As we struggled to adapt to our human identity, we lost sight of what we came to do, because we were so busy dealing with Humanity on so many levels.

My message to you today is simple: You are uniquely you. It was your talents, gifts, and experiences that made you want to come and share those attributes with Humanity. Being unique is a treasure, not a shame, and we need to honor our individuality.

Although I've never done formal research on the matter, I would bet that most of us felt like the "odd man out" when we were children, feeling out of place among the other kids, wondering why they were so cruel and mean to others.

That feeling continued for so many of us, as we knew in our hearts we, for some reason, would never fit in on this planet. Many of us have felt so lonely and yearn for our soul groups, oversoul, or gestalts, where we feel inclusive love and combined energy.

The solution to those concerns is not to learn to act like Humanity, but to remember who we are, and how we serve. If we remember we came to teach, lead, protect and heal Humanity, rather than to meld with them into the masses, it is easier to bear the feelings of separation.

It is absolutely imperative now, with what lies ahead, that you develop strength and belief in yourself, knowing that you have an important role and a carefully planned mission to fulfill. Caring about what other people think of you has no place in your plans, now or ever.

If you have deeply seeded issues of needing to please your parents or siblings or culture, I suggest talking through those issues with a therapist who is also a member of the Light community. This is something so many of us need to work on, but it can be very difficult.

For the women in the group needing help with this issue, I again recommend this book, written by a member of our larger community, to help you overcome the need to care what others think and coming to an understanding of who you are. amazon.com/Becoming-Women…

Caring about what other people think of you, on any level, is bondage. You are deeply loved for who you are as an individual. You are deeply appreciated for your willingness to bring that individuality to this planet, to teach, lead, protect, and heal even just one other soul.

Free yourselves, my friends. Much love to all of you in your pursuits of returning yourself to who you were when you arrived here. I believe in you. Have a great weekend.
