If we were there with you

By Deborah Arndt

We don’t mean that we aren’t there with you in spirit. How could that be? We aren’t in your physical realm, but we inhabit it by our wishes, our dreams of you, and our ability to communicate with you. 

Do you understand? How could we write this down or work through Deborah in so doing, if this weren’t true? My children, you must always be asking yourself this. How could these words be coming to you otherwise?

If you doubt and imagine that Deborah is making all this up, then you must think she surely has nothing else to do. Do you think she has hours and hours in each day to spend perpetrating some kind of hoax on you? Surely, with all that she has done and achieved, her fine degree and long years of study and work, she has more to do with her time than simply write down what we ask her to say unless she believes in us, too, and wants to uplift the human race as we do. That is a tall order. It simply cannot be done using falsehoods, innuendo and persuasion. It cannot pander to your baser goals or to mass thinking in any way. No, it must uplift and help you in material, seen, and felt ways. In other words, you must be able to register what we are teaching and the value of it to you, and quite simply, the truth of it. Now, how shall that be brought about by falseness? Isn’t it nice to know that you can count on something? That you can count on us?

Imagine the smiles and love of your children. Is that false? You know something real when you are in front of it, so to speak. And we are in front of you, my children. Know us by our words and the outcomes you experience. We love you.

Now, if we were there with you physically expressed in your realm … say we were neighbors of yours, how do you think we would function? Would we be out mowing the lawn? Would we be throwing barbecue parties? Would we be walking our pets down the street? Now would we?

We think we might love to do that, but more importantly we would be working with resolve and faith to bring about a better experience with you all. We would be casting our thoughts outward to our Higher Power and asking that we (all of us)  be blessed. We would look for signs of that, and we would celebrate each one.

We would expect to receive all that we are asking for materially and spiritually. Like you, we would or could expect no less. It would make no difference who we are, but that we are using and applying the principles we are teaching you as we were taught before you. Never doubt that learning and teaching go on and on forever. That’s how it works. When you get into the swing of that … when you get into the perpetuity of things, it really does change your perspective.

It’s so much more than “You can’t take it with you.” It’s “Why wouldn’t you want to take that with you?”  

In other words, why aren’t you working on a life and set of experiences, that you can really take with you, and that you can pack along with you if you like? 

We have talked of backpacks in our work. We help equip yours so you can be successful all your physical years through. But you must do some of the work, and fill up your own reserves, so to speak. You must equip yourself through your own actions and your own thoughts. That equipment serves you well through all your experiences there and beyond. Now, that is an investment worth making. Trust us. We would not lie to you. 

So back to our scenario of us as your neighbors. Well, we are already that. We dwell so close to you. That is what we mean when we say we are with you now. We really are. Yet, were we to be physically seen in your neighborhood, we would look a lot like you! You would like our smiles and our friendliness. You would notice we can get preoccupied when we hear news of devastating events, for we are praying and sending out thoughts of assistance to others in trouble and turmoil. Yes, and we would be blessing each and every one of you who respond in your hearts and with physical assistance, too.

We would be celebrating all that we are, and joining in lots of celebrations wherever we could. We would vault our thoughts up to the heavens, so to speak, to bring back a trough of riches to enjoy in our physical experience … riches of experience, comfort and joy, and most important, benefit to others, as one cannot prosper alone. It is a net effect and we are always united in all that we do. So that if one prospers, we all do. If one is denied or abused then we all are. It takes a while for everyone to get that all of you expressed as humanity are working on it. Trust us. There is a way to go, as you no doubt know.

Now, that is a quick snapshot of our life as your neighbors, just down the road. How do you know we are aren’t among you right now? Can you tell goodness, belief, and faith when you come across it? Can you tell a heart that is united with others, that seeks to do good for the benefit of others, when you come across it? If yes, then what do you do? Think them a simpleton, or do you take their measure, so to speak, and decide to be more like them in those essential elements? You extend a willing heart of camaraderie and joyful welcome to them. You recognize them, and in so doing, allow yourself to see itself, and how it can be for you. You can rocket to more at any time, and you are not a stamp of anyone else, yet you can and must learn from the experiences of others in order to succeed. That is paramount. 

Now, we are adroitly mixing into this topic an introduction to our book Pinnacle: The Resolve to Succeed.  You must learn how to succeed if you are ever to do so. And that takes resolve, as our book shall show. We are embarking on writing it now through Deborah, and we will connect you to its evolution as we go along here. We hope you enjoy that. 

In any way we can demonstrate how we work, and what our intentions are. … that’s what we’re all about. So helping you to understand the evolution of a new work, how it’s expressed and comes into being, can assist with that we think. And you are the beneficiary of all that in that you can read the work in its entirety when complete. What a delicious outcome!   We hope you enjoy.  With love and best wishes to you in this day and for always.—Your teachers.
