Reverence For Life

By Nancy Tate

Greetings Dear Wonderful Souls of Humanity! I welcome you with great expectation and excitement of your involvement and appreciation for all that life has to offer. It is with great pleasure that I come before you today to bring you the news of the reverence for life! You will be the story that is being written and each of you that participate will tell the story before it is written! Prepare to go on a journey of your choosing that will be embraced with love and truth that will support you and hold you firm in your commitment to self-discovery.

The reverence for life is a journey of self-discovery, because if you do not have a reverence for life, life will always elude your greatest dreams and desires. Many of you have forgotten how to revere life itself. This has caused more issues than you care to face. The way to move beyond the issues of life is to revere life at it’s fullest!

As you all know there is no chance that you can get up in the morning and find that there is nothing to do. There is always something to do and someone to do it with, even if it is your cat, dog, bird or your other self. Yes, your other self is as willing, or possibly even more so, to do something with you.

So as you arise and face the day, do so with a smile and a sense of adventure, for that is what this all is, my dears, this is one big adventure that can bring about a reverence for life as solid and fragile as anything that can come into your life. This is what I was told and I am going to stay around until I can prove it to myself on a level that manifests itself in my life. Heaven knows I can work on that.

Together we will weave a wonderful journey that will take you to the discovery of yourself!

Introduction

Greetings Dear Wonderful Souls of Humanity! I welcome you with great expectation and excitement of your involvement and appreciation for all that life has to offer. It is with great pleasure that I come before you today to bring you the news of the reverence for life! You will be the story that is being written and each of you that participate will tell the story before it is written! Prepare to go on a journey of your choosing that will be embraced with love and truth that will support you and hold you firm in your commitment to self-discovery.

The reverence for life is a journey of self-discovery, because if you do not have a reverence for life, life will always elude your greatest dreams and desires. Many of you have forgotten how to revere life itself. This has caused more issues than you care to face. The way to move beyond the issues of life is to revere life at it’s fullest!

As you all know there is no chance that you can get up in the morning and find that there is nothing to do. There is always something to do and someone to do it with, even if it is your cat, dog, bird or your other self. Yes, your other self is as willing, or possibly even more so, to do something with you.

So as you arise and face the day, do so with a smile and a sense of adventure, for that is what this all is, my dears, this is one big adventure that can bring about a reverence for life as solid and fragile as anything that can come into your life. This is what I was told and I am going to stay around until I can prove it to myself on a level that manifests itself in my life. Heaven knows I can work on that.

Together we will weave a wonderful journey that will take you to the discovery of yourself!

What is Reverence?

What is reverence you might ask? It is a profound, adoring, respect, and honor.

What is life you might ask? It is a principle or a force of being.

So therefore a reverence for life is a profound adoring, respect, and honor for a force or principle of being.

It is now time to take another look at life and what it means to you, personally. Have you even lived life to the degree that you truly know what it may be? Have you truly understood and embraced all the reverence that life has to offer? These are questions that life needs to answer and life will answer according to your perception and experience in life. Is it your experiences that make life what you live, or is it perceptions that make life what you live? Why do I ask you so many questions and not simply tell you? It is because I cannot tell you what life is to you. That is what you have come here to understand and to master on your own walk through many lives.

Life is sacred and has always been. It could be nothing else. Life is not only determined by the life force that you have in your body that you think keeps your heart beating and your brain functioning. Life is multi-layered and multi-dimensional. Life is the force of being.

There once was a beautiful time upon this wondrous planet called Earth. It was a time when life was full of all that it had to offer. Life was magic, miracles, celebration, and love in motion. Life had only wonderment and joy for all to embrace. It was easy, fulfilling, and flowed through your being without hindrance.

There was no such thing as life coming to an end. It was a constant continuation from one to another. It was revered because it was unique among existence. There was nothing that you could desire and yet could not have. There was nothing that gave you more happiness than life itself.

Every creature upon this earth was honored with reverence for the life that it offered to the world. All of it was sacred, no matter what form it took. It didn’t matter the size, shape, gender, or expression. It was LIFE!

So we set the stage for what is to come in these writings. We set your energetic patterning to embrace the frequency of life and as you do, you will see life through a different looking glass, a very different lens. You will start to understand what life is not so therefore you will only be left with what life is! Prepare yourself to be part of this unique journey from where you are to the reverence for life everlasting!

Are you ready for the next step?

If you are, then here it is!

A Journey

Let’s begin by taking a journey and see where it leads you.

The journey begins before life, as you know life here on Earth. It begins from the beginning of your creation, your spark of life coming into being.

It begins from the moment that you were born from that first seed of Light that is still you. It is still you and you are still that fine original one that you have always been. If that were not so then there would be no universe, no earth, no Source of all there is, because if you could not still be you, no matter what you do, nothing could exist beyond the first moment away from the absolute perfection.

That is what we mean when we say that forgiveness is a part of that original seed of DNA, and that is the grain that holds it all together. That is the bread of life. From there it is ever-changing and expanding according to your choice and design.

As we go on in this accounting and present you all in the ways of beauty that you present yourselves, we will both astound ourselves and you with the power that is being presented all over the globe and resounding throughout the universe. There is no boundary when it comes to anything, except what may be perceived in your eyes and mind. All of it is what you make of it, and that my dear ones is profound.

Come now and see what you have created in your own essence and design. See the masters that you are and have always been, even when you didn’t remember that you are. We’ll take you on a journey through time and out the back door to the promise that you gave to yourselves and to the Oneness that is All.

What was that promise you may ask? It was the promise that you will be that which you lost the opportunity to be on Maldek before its destruction. You promised yourself that you will rise to the occasion when called upon to do so. Not by any outside sources but called from within your natural beingness. You promised yourself that you would become that which you know is your truth, and you would be the human that you come to earth to be! What is that human that you have come to be? It is the human that has risen above and beyond that which is the illusion of life. It is that human that decides to live in peace, joy and abundance by allowing the force to guide them from one step to the next. It is that human who is not subject to the limitations of the physical world, but one who creates every step of the way what they desire for their life, and their life experiences.

You decided to go through the back door and that back door is the door called Earth, and from the back door, you work yourself round front once again! There will however, be a difference to behold! The back door creates a journey of learning and growth that brings you not only back to where you were, but far beyond where you were.

If you would have slipped out the front door you would have remained in the realm of pure spiritual perfection and denied yourself the most important time of living and experiencing that one could ever have had in this creation, this second universe. For when the time comes, this experience and opportunity will be done, and you will be set for the new opportunity, which will piggy back off of this present in which you now live. Know that going through the back door was the best thing you could have done for yourself in the annals of time, as you know time on earth.

Rejoice dear souls for you are the kings and queens of creation. You are the ones, the movers and shakers of life! Honor yourself and not only who you are, but the God and Goddess standing next to you, in front of you, and that you see at a distance. Honor that one with no less acclaim that you see on the street lying in a drunken stupor, or hungry from lack of food, or who smells from the lack of water to wash. They are as divine as you! Look into their eyes, their heart and see yourself and see the divine being, the divine human that they are.

Ah! But there is more to the promise that you made! You thought that you were done did you? Well not quite yet, for there is a little more to share on the promise!

That promise, my dear ones is the promise that you made to yourself. It is the promise that was imbued within your DNA as you created it; it is the perfection of that which you are. It was bound to come and to explode into a million points of light at the time of exposure to the mirror that told you that you are, and are, and are, on into infinity.

I take you now to the doorstep the leads into the new world, the world that is awaiting your expression. It is a world that is going to prove itself over and over again in the promise that you have made and the journey that you have already taken. Do you really think that what has come before has no value when you compare it to what is to come? As you take another look and you see the nature of that thought, then you know that the value is inseparable from that which seems to be of no value, for one does not compare with the other; they make each other, and that is where you are right now. You are in that perfection of the value that you are, with no comparison, for there is none.

Now we take you into the new world that chooses itself as you take the steps that begin the new life. You are in that promise and you are swimming into the center of it. You are about to jump off into the abyss of Light and Love that sparkles and begs your entrance. At the same time it begs, it invites and welcomes you home, for that is where you always are. Go to sleep my dear ones. Find your dream about to explode into the million lights once more and express in the promise that leads to the outer door into the inside.

Chapter 1

New Promise

Elaine awoke from her dream and looked around. Where are you? Her husband was nowhere to be seen. She laid her head back down on the pillow, too weary to sit up. What is going on with me? Why am I so worn out? Is there something wrong that is draining my energy?

Jerry was usually so hard to wake up and certainly she would have known if he had gotten up because he makes so much noise when he does. He usually trips over the bed-stand, or steps on his slippers, or something.

A voice came to her, loud and clear. There is nothing wrong with you; you are right where you need to be, and you’re feeling the way you do for a reason.

She looked at the direction of the voice and saw no one, nothing but the old rocking chair that her grandmother gave her before she died.

Wait a minute? Did she really see it rocking? Must have been the cat jumped out of it. With that thought, Frisky their Siamese lifted her head from its resting place at the foot of the bed.

We’re in a different level of life right now, and we have some conversation to make, the voice rang true somehow. What it said was one thing, but how it rang though her body was another. She knew that everything that she was hearing was also coming from her at the same time it was coming from the chair.

Jerry is still in bed, right? He’s still sound asleep with me beside him? She knew this was her talking, and her wondering at the same time. How could this be? Well it can be because I am split between this world and that world, while still being one.

She shook her head, trying to shake loose from this split. It indicated to her that she was mentally ill, scitzo, or something.

No, you’re perfectly sane, and more than you have ever been in a long, long time.

But how can I be talking both sides of the conversation, and still be sane? She still couldn’t believe what she was saying.

You are being yourself on two levels and you are exercising those two levels in a demonstration of your ability to do so.

Okay, why am I doing this; why am I talking with myself when I could be sleeping and refreshed in the morning?

Remember the remark you made last night to Jerry about how you could almost hear yourself thinking? Well you are now doing just that. That was your invitation to experience that on a level that made sense and that you could relate to.

How am I doing that? What is going to come of it? You are going to know a whole new part of yourself and with that knowledge you are going to be able to enhance your life on the same level that Jerry is and be an example to him and to yourself at the same time.

An example of what? How to be scary and sane at the same time? Her laugh reverberated through her even before she began to laugh audibly.

Frisky rose and walked to Elaine’s side. Her eyes were wide and searching. Elaine knew that the cat was looking at both essences of her, somehow, for when she looked into the cat’s eyes she saw two images of herself reflected back. One image was more blurry than the other, and different somehow.

You are seeing how Frisky sees you/us. That is how she sees many things that have come her way. That is why there are times when she seems to be off in a place that is far from here. She has been waiting for that other image of you to come closer, and now she sees it.

You mean that now I am what she has been waiting for? Now I am more like her? She couldn’t believe she said that. But …….There is nothing wrong than being more like her. I’ve been joking about that for some time. If only I could be like Frisky; she sure has it made."

What is there about her life that you would have in yours?

I’d want to sleep as much as I wanted, be fed, run around the neighborhood and play with other cats. I’d have freedom!

Yes, and what else? Seems to me that you could come up with more than that?

Why want more? Why not want a simple life, one in which you don’t have to be at anyone’s beck and call, where you can call your own hours, do your own thing, not have to answer to others, not have to be a slave to your job, on and on and on I could go.

Do you see what you have created in your life? Do you see how you have created your own enslavement and kept yourself in the shadow of others? How did you learn to enslave yourself; what part of you didn’t you know well enough to see what could allow you to fall away from what you want?

How come you blame it on me? It’s not me that has created this world the way it is. It is the government, big business, the corporate world, those who run around with their lassos and big ideas, with all their money jingling in their banks and houses, and cars, and suits, etc. She was exhausted just thinking of it, much less talking about it as though she was being forced to live in prison.

So are you saying that they caused all of this and you had no contribution to this?

Well, yes! I grew up into this and this is all I was able to see all of my life.

So you accepted this limitation as yours then and did not make any attempt to change it?

Well no, well yes, I don’t know sometimes! It seems to me that this is life and you have to do the best you can. But now that I am saying this, it doesn’t seem right.

Bravo for you! You have become a slave to what you have inherited as the normal way of life, and did not allow yourself to step outside that way unless it was in a way that you could accept; and that way was through fantasy and imagination!

The more I think about it, the more it becomes clear!

"This is what your new promise is about, allowing that which you accept as your fantasy and imagination, accepting it as real as part of who you
