What's For You Won't Go Past You by Colette Baron-Reid - SW
Dearest sparkly being of Light!
I’m going to invite you into a conversation with me today and hope you’ll share your experience with me, and the rest of the tribe in the comments section.
I wonder if you’ve had an experience when you were so sure that the form of your goal or desire was exactly what you thought was supposed to be for you and you got so close to it and then it didn’t happen?
Or, maybe you even did ten vision boards to snag it and affirmations and incantations and still NADA?
And what if you even got the ABRACADABRA right like we talked about last week and said so many Thank You’s you thought your face would split from smiling and still you didn’t get what you wanted?
Maybe the man you were sure would return to you on bended knee ended up with someone else (how DARE he?), or the job you were so sure you were going to get fell through (how DARE they?), or maybe the career path you were convinced was going to be your true service turned out to be not at all what you hoped? (disappointed poor me)
If we left it there we’d only be talking about what didn’t work, what didn’t happen and you could potentially wonder if perhaps you weren’t going to ever create the life you want.
I have had those moments too for sure and no amount of pouting and bargaining with the universe has ever made a dent. In the end you have no choice but to surrender. Yes sometimes this surrender starts as a defeat, and an emotional tantrum but then if you remember these words “What is for you- won’t go past you!” magic begins to unfold.
When you look closer at this entire dynamic we’d only be talking about the form and not the essence of your desire right?
It’s the one thing that’s so easy to forget. Spirit has a plan and it might be different than yours. Spirit will always deliver the essence of your inspired desire but Spirit (The Dude, Universe, Quantum Fred, God, The Matrix etc. you pick the name) not you or me will be the decider of the form.
We just need to be open to seeing the opportunities for our highest good.
They will always be presented.
Just not in the form we think they’re supposed to come in.
You and me are powerful co-creators and we just need to remember that the form of our desire is not as powerful as the essence that brings it to life.
After the “not getting” part if you keep the faith that “this or something better” now manifests for me, and hold it loosely without attachment until you forget you ever had the desire to begin with something amazing happens.
The right man with the wrong hair color comes along when you’re ready, the job that makes you happiest is offered to you by a stranger in a part of town you’d never have considered before, you inherit the money from a distant relative to buy the house you didn’t think you could afford etc.
Life has a sneaky way of delivering your desires in the way best for you when the time is right and when all the elements are in place for lift off.
Something happened in the past couple weeks that I’m still amazed at. My husband and myself have always had a dream house in our minds. We have talked about this for years – how we would live on a farm that could be off the grid, organic vegetables, with a modest modern house close to a city but not too close. I wanted a running brook or stream and a zen like atmosphere, a place for a bird sanctuary, he wanted a work room etc. I imagined hills and horses and the crisp country air, and a place that would be safe to ride our motorcycles.
We considered it could be something in the future to save for and we talked about first buying a few acres then building this house the way Marc envisioned it. It always seemed out of reach however as we moved around the USA and saw how expensive this might end up to be. So it was a cherished “maybe one day” mutual dream that seemed always out of reach but which we both held loosely but close to our hearts.
We live just outside of NYC now and as much as I love the city I have ached for the quiet expanse of the country. Nature is what makes me happiest.
Then, having forgotten this dream out of the blue we got a phone call about a private sale of a property that eerily had all the aspects on our dream list that was important to us.
Thing is it was back in Canada and we weren’t looking there nor were we planning to!
Spirit however had a plan and gave us an affordable version of our dream and so the deal was made. Just like that.
We had just the exact amount saved for us to buy it.
Even more strange and cool was a phone call to astro cartographer Maya White who told us that both my and Marc’s karmic nodes crisscrossed at exactly this place on the map. She remarked how we were likely not looking for it but that it was looking for us.
“This place chose the two of you”.
Now the point of this story is simple. The essence of your dream is always going to pull you to it. Let go the form. Had we insisted our property be in California or the Carolinas or Connecticut we would have passed on the magic offered to us.
We would have completely missed the chosen form for our shared desire.
Ah but we know better. Eh? Canada it is!
Love to hear from you. When have you gotten your dream but in a totally different form that you thought it would come in?
Loving you always and forever.
Life is good.
