You are well familiar with your television series. They tend to end in cliff-hangers that keep you coming back for the next episode, even though you know it is all a story. This is a most excellent way to view your life experience from the soul’s perspective without becoming too attached to the events and things that comprise it. Once you realize you are a soul playing a role, you can enjoy your possessions and experiences without getting knocked off balance by the cliff-hangers. Will I get the new job? Will I overcome this illness? These are experiences of the role, but not the whole of you. You, the soul, incarnated for the experiences, so observe them with the same intense interest you in your role take in your television series. But when you get so caught up in the outcomes that you suffer, it is time to step away from the screen.
You are so very loved.

This is a great analogy. I need to remember this every day! Thank you.
What a wonder way to define who we are compared to a TV series… I found this so truthful and will apply to my life…
Thank you Sanaya! I need to be reminded on a regular basis that I am playing the role I chose before incarnating even if I wonder why in the heck I chose some of the experiences…… I need to be more in an observer position as you said. Thank you again, Namaste
dear Suzanne,
There is something about this idea that all the world’s a stage that must have a deeper dimension. Doesn’t the idea that we are playing roles kind of blunt the reality or benefit of experience. Flowing with all that occurs makes sense but it sure feels real too. Tragedy really hurts. Is there not a danger of a kind of denial that is also dangerous, in the sense of missing the depth of human life and longing?
The goal is to realize these are experiences are very real while we are having them, yet we are ALSO souls at a different level. That’s the relief valve and the state from which we receive guidance to better navigate these very real experiences. The soul knows it will be very challenging and dives in for the fullness.
I understand what is being said. As someone who has lost many loved ones and has experienced much pain. . It allows us the mental ability to keep moving forward to not be stuck in the past . I guess the hard part is your immediate family circle shrinks and we start to feel alone here I realize we are never alone but when those closest to us here leave it is hard to detach from the emotions of memories of what was when things were good and you were surrounded by your loved ones here. Now yes it’s very different and they have all left I am happy for them but feel sad that I am left to move forward without those closest to me. . Seeing myself as a role I do worry that I will stop feeling nothing therefore will have meaning. I have become numb because it is just a role Seeing my life as a role does absolutely numb the pain. It also changes and removes me to have no feelings it is just an experience and this is temporary. Maybe in some way we are our own entity so we have always been alone but the soul group we are connected to here playing roles with tells me no. IDK. Just trying to keep moving forward . While being a good human Getting caught up in the series is a good time to step away .
