Acknowledge the Advantages of New Directions ~ Ascended Master Serapis Bey’s Weekly Message for October 25 – November 01, 2013 ~ via Julie Miller

No matter how hard you try to avoid
change, change is inevitable and always constant. How each dear soul
responds and reacts to change does carry cause and effect onto their
personal performance in every area of their life and the outcomes they
are hoping to achieve.

By avoiding change, even if you are
unaware that you go out of your way to maintain all things in your life
to stay exactly the same – never changing; therefore puts your own
development and growth out of alignment with all that moves and lives
within your environment. Many times this occurs unconsciously due to a
deeply imbedded need to keep everything safe and secure – stepping into
the unknown can be a frightful experience, one that requires great
bravery and courage. This kind of inaction will result in discomfort and
many times create tension not only within your physical body but in
many areas of your life. If your own behaviours, emotions and feelings
are not aligned with the new directions that are crossing your path,
then you become dear ones off course and less productive.

What makes change so frightening is
different from one person to the other but mainly it’s the dynamics of
the situation that creates the fear and need to retreat where it’s the
same and safe. We know how difficult it can be to step beyond your
comfort zone and embrace change with confidence, but the more often you
do the better your outcomes will be. Innovation and change is part of
your modern world. It cannot be avoided; therefore we encourage you to
embrace the changes that are coming, even the ones that pose to be
difficult. See them as advantages to become more knowledgeable and where
you are able to shine your authentic self in every step.

Change is change…it makes little
difference what is changing, it is how you respond that makes the
difference, and how you respond does affect your performance and the
outcome you are looking to achieve. It is much easier to flow through
the changes with a positive attitude, ready to take on what is in front
of you. Even your body language, self-talk and interaction with others
will reflect how you are coping with any change.

Of course there will be situations
that you will adapt more easily to than others, and we know some will be
very difficult, but when you willingly and consciously step forward
with a constructive manner you are demonstrating you are willing to
adapt and accept all changes that waiting for you to acknowledge. We
encourage each of you to be more positive towards the direction any
change may involve. Make sure you truly understand without any doubt
what you can or cannot control within any circumstance and realize dear
ones that disruptions are natural and part of any change or new
direction – they are what helps you to expand your comfort zones where
you are given opportunities to be creative within any changes that you
are working through. Accept that there is always more than one way to do
something, learn of innovative ideas that resonate with you and make
them work within your current situation and don’t be shy to make use of
your own personal strength. You have always been strong and each change
that you have passed through is your proof.

Having a good attitude during any
changes or sudden new directions will help to enhance your overall
performance and results. If you are able to respond and react positively
to any change, then you are able to grow and develop as the unique
individuals each of you are. We ask you to think back to an experience
where you were with a positively minded person and how that felt. Was
their energy fun, and high spirited? Even when dealing with difficult
choices that require great changes to take effect, having a positive
attitude will help make the transition easier. The dear souls that are
able to maintain a healthy positive attitude while dealing with
difficult decisions don’t allow themselves to grow a negative thought,
they understand the power of faith and make us of it every moment in
each day, not just during prayer. Being positive in mind and spirit is a
choice dear ones and even though this choice requires a great deal of
energy to continue, it keeps you on target of whatever goal you are
aiming to accomplish.

We observe often that for many dear
souls it is much easier to be negative than positive. We have seen so
many attempt at being positive and as soon as another difficult
challenge enters the picture their positive demeanor vanishes and is
replaced with fear and uncertainty once again. At any time your positive
attitude is reversed and negativity sets in, the power that is lost is
by you allowing this to occur. You may not be able to control everything
that comes your way, because that is how change and challenges work,
they come often unexpected. Don’t allow a difficult challenge turn your
attitude upside down. You hold the power to control this part of
yourself. It is up to you each time if you are going to give any
situation the power to control you.

It is understood that life in general
for most dear souls is like a never-ending roller coaster, but it
doesn’t have to be viewed this way. Negative thoughts come and they go.
They have the ability to attract more negativity and discord into your
life if you allow them. It is also understood that none of your negative
thinking or self-talk comes from God. He does not promote negative
actions, He encourages you to practice self-love and self-compassion, to
heal yourself during times of doubt and despair and to remember to lean
on Him during such times…allowing Him to come to you so He may shine
His Brilliant Light down upon you and wrap you up in His infinite Love.

There are always ways to cope through
any transition that will help you to leave the negative behind for more
positive choices and outcomes. We trust completely that with your
ability to explore you will discover ways that fit your personal style
that will help bring you out of any disharmonic emotion or feeling and
back to feeling positive and optimistic.

In the meantime, we encourage you to
pay attention to what you are thinking about. Determine if your thoughts
are negative, even if they are just slightly negative they still hold
disharmony and negative actions and words are still holding form. When
you realize your actions, words, thoughts, feelings and even your will
is holding any amount of negativity you have not only the possibility
but the capability to control your thoughts and replace each negative
thought with a positive one. This is a learning process and it does
become easier with practice. Try not to be too hard on yourself or to
expect perfection over-night. The development of you takes time, lots of
love and care.

We also encourage you to stop
listening to other people’s negative attitudes; they have the ability of
effecting your own and often carry toxic energy that will bring down
your own. If this means you might need to find new people to interact
with that are positive minded then that dear ones is a choice we
encourage you to take. Being around negative people will not help you to
become more positive or remain positive.

We know you want to make changes that
will bring about new directions for you to take upon your journey. Make a
list of the changes you wish to see and work on them one at a time. We
know you are aware of any negative behaviour that you hold, and we
encourage you to make a list of these as well being honest and truthful.
If you are unable to see what is negative in your life, ask a trusted
person, one who will speak without bias and work on this list also. You
may discover that each thing you find that is negative is able to be
changed into positive just by wanting to make the changes happen. There
is nothing you cannot do when you put your heart and soul into each and
every step.

Don’t forget to stimulate your own
self-worth by making good use of positive I AM statements and positive
affirmations. Write them down and leave them in strategic places, or
when a negative thought comes into view, remember one and say it and
believe what you are saying. Tell yourself every day how grateful you
are for being you. Remember you are a gift onto the world created by God
which also means you are a gift onto yourself. Commit to saying
something positive that affirms who you are as a person and that your
existence is valid and essential. Each day you will make new progress,
don’t just know this from reading our words, know this from the silent
message your heart gives you each time confirming the truth behind each
positive affirmation and positive I AM statement.

We see just how busy your day is; from
morning to night and it is a challenge to find even a couple minutes of
extra time, but we ask you to do just that to pray. Talk to God, to the
angels or to who you refer to when praying. Share your burdens and
concerns with who you pray to and know your journey is not a lonely one.
Learn to rest in the comfort of the one you pray to, knowing you are
loved, protected and cared for. We know it’s difficult to trust in what
you cannot see and this is where many dear souls lose faith, yet it is
faith that will see you through the hard times.

Change is a process; it requires you
to think, to accept, and to be aware and so much more. If your mind is
positive then your body will follow your mind positively and respond
positively. You already know that your physical health is affected by
how you think. You cannot ever separate the body from the mind, because
how you program your mind is how your body will also respond.

Know dear ones; God wants only the
best for His Children. He knows that sometimes you must choose the
harder challenges over the easier ones, and sometimes repeatedly before
you understand the lesson and break the cycle. He also knows and
believes that you will overcome any obstacle because you have inside of
you the power to make change happen…it’s all fairly simple – just mind
over matter.

And so it is…
