Today is another wonderful day.  The temperatures are chilly in your region of the world which is a good reminder on how we celebrate our life.  The chilly air is like having a birthday as you grow older.  What is the connection you might ask?  Well, as you grow older each birthday is “cooled” off if you will, with the internal knowing that your life is slowly coming to an end.  Now that is not as gloomy as you might think.

As the birthdays tick by in this lifetime you realize that you are no longer the “young one” surrounded by many older people, but rather, you realize that you are starting to become the “old one” surrounded by young people.  At first this realization may be a bit surprising to the unexpected, since there is a bit of an attitude that getting old will never happen to you.  As absurd as that may seem, many people attempt to fight age with surgeries, vitamins, exercise and the like to help stay healthy and to keep that young-looking shell of your body.

Staying healthy and keeping a healthy body is great for the long-term effects, but can be somewhat giving into the ego who may have the attitude that I can disguise my age.  Age is something that only exists in the physical world where there is a concept of time.  In the non-physical world there is no time and as such there is no age.

When you start to feel a chill in yourself because you see signs of aging, and maybe signs that you may be close to the end of this lifetime, you need to understand that these are all good things.  Yes, good things.  How can they be good things you ask?

Getting older comes with memories, experiences and wisdom.  The goal or objective each person sets when coming into this lifetime has nothing to do with the length of this lifetime, but rather, with the wisdom and experiences that can be garnered in this lifetime.  As difficult as it may be to see, this lifetime is only a small piece of the many lifetimes you will experience and have already experienced.

When you can see outside of the “water” for which you are swimming, like the  fish jumping out into the open air, you can get a glimpse of the “bigger picture.”  A picture for which this current lifetime is only a small piece.

With age, can come more glimpses into this other world as you reflect on your own mortality with each passing birthday.  Look back on your lifetime with gratitude knowing that many people do not live to even your current age.  Appreciate the breath you currently have in your lungs, and appreciate every one thereafter.  A sign of wisdom is one where we take nothing for granted and appreciate everything.

As we look at the shell of ourselves that we call our “body” and see it showing signs of age, we can still have gratitude for the functions that are still in good health.  Remember, that when you look at someone who is older than you, as well as those who are younger, that they are not their body.   Touch the internal self of everyone that you encounter and you will begin to think less and less of the importance of that “shell.”

InspiraCard #1

Celebrate each birthday, although you may feel a little “chill” with each one.  Know that you are doing everything that you intended when you entered the journey of this lifetime.

{Pat’s Note:  After the message I read the above dialog and I decided to ask another question. }

<P> This sounds good but what can you tell us about with age and passing on in this lifetime we leave people behind that depend on us and care about us?

Yes, that is a natural part of life – experiencing the joys of birth and the sorrows of death.   However, when you can begin to understand that death is simply a change of state like water to ice, and back to water, that nothing has changed.

Sure the daily lives of those left behind in the physical world has changed, and yes they most definitely miss their loved one who transitioned to the non-physical plane.  However, they must truly know that their life and the journey of this lifetime goes on.  That is one of the reasons we are sharing these wisdoms is to help those who feel they are “left behind.”

With growth comes wisdom and experiences – all of which are in perfect order.  If your mate transitions to the non-physical plane before you do, you need to grieve for a period of time.  After which, you step through the door and begin the next “phase” of your lifetime.  What is it you need to learn or experience without your mate?  Dwelling on the past and wishing things were the way they were years ago is a futile mental exercise.

Remember, this lifetime is about experiences, learning, gaining wisdom and possibly raising your level  of consciousness.   We understand that the transition through death is difficult, and just may be the biggest lesson that you have to deal with in this lifetime.

Accept everything and expect nothing, but set those beacons and move in the direction that you think you need to go at this “moment” in your life.
