Yes, you are tested all the time. And yes, the answer is always love if you wish to enjoy the results of those tests. They do not arise as a punishment, but as opportunities to see or “test” how much you understand the great unifying Force of all that is. Until you understand that all arises from and as Love, your challenges will appear to be tests. When you understand that nothing can be separated from anything else, you will understand each opportunity as a test of your understanding and rejoice, “Oh my! I may use this to practice being Who I really Am!” Set your test anxiety aside and simply do and be what comes more naturally than breathing.
You are so very loved.
This is a very helpful reframe of being tested. I’ve always struggled with the word “test” because it implies the possibility (likelihood?) of failure and that doesn’t fit with my understanding of the Divine. This frame seems analogous to getting tested for a belt in martial arts.
Excellent analogy, Judi!
Awww. How much I needed to hear this truth today. Thank you ❤️
I believe and agree but is there not a time when you have shown love and aid but that person accepts it all, lives in the same house with you but does not speak to you- totally ignores you. I am living with this person’s family because I am doing heakth work . I am in my early 90s and she is 21. I just sit and take it os it it mire living to speak out or leave. It is tearing me apart even though I know I am being tested. How do I pass the test.
How challenging, Barbara. Try some visualization in meditation in which you speak to her only from the heart and soul and tell her how loved she is, how worthy, and that you appreciate she and you are in the same house to experience the joy of relationships. Send her soul gratitude. Tell her soul you will do your best to help her human role realize she is loved, appreciated, and cared for. After doing this until it is your place of truth, initiate a similar conversation with her in person, holding nothing but love and appreciation and know you have done your best. Walk around with an “I’ve got a secret” inner and outer smile radiating your awareness that you are all souls in a dance of relationships. You will be radiating this truth.
Thank you for this, Sanaya & Suzanne – especially today.
I had been in the midst of a somewhat peculiarly unusual, non-stop “Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day”…..and suddenly, this afternoon, your message appeared in my email in-box.
The day suddenly began to make sense…..even as I humbly acknowledged how much more there is yet for me to learn.
On the other hand, I’m sensing that this message is also meant for me to pass along to a dear friend tomorrow evening as we gather for an informal extended -family memorial supper to celebrate the life of her recently-deceased beloved partner. I’d been asking him if he would somehow share a message with me. And, for LOTS of reasons, it feels as though this entire day has been a loving “set-up” for all that.
What a blessing for you to truly hear this message!
So much to learn! …and through so many channels. Yet, as Kohlat said, “All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; to the place from whence the rivers flow, thither they return to flow again.” …”To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under the sun”
Thank you both for this, especially today, and every day!!! It feels wonderful and light and when you don’t THINK, it’s even easier ????
This really fit a “happening” in my life this week! I had a major reaction of multiple symptoms to a COVID Vaccination. As I waited in the Emergency Room, I talked to my angels asking them to show me the “value” of this very unpleasant experience. A CT scan of my head due to a relentless headache revealed a quite unrelated small brain aneurysm. This can be now be monitored and treated before it becomes a major ruptured problem. It would never have been detected without my Covid reaction! My angels are certainly watching over me and it gave me a chance to appreciate all the medical personal who treated me!
Wow. May you find complete healing.
