Lightworkers are those who volunteered, before birth, to
help the planet and its population heal from the effects of fear.
Each lightworker is here for a sacred purpose. Very often, however,
life on earth with its material focus creates a form of amnesia
in lightworkers. They then forget their divine and perfect identities,
and also their abilities to miraculously help the earth and all
living creatures. When lightworkers forget their true identity
and purpose, they feel lost and afraid.
You are a lightworker if you:
* feel called to heal others
* desire to resolve the world's social and environmental problems
* believe that spiritual methods can heal any situation
* have had mystical experiences, such as psychic premonitions
or angelic encounters
* have endured harsh life experiences that eroded the knowledge
of your divine perfection
* want to heal your own life as a first step in healing the world
* feel compelled to write, teach, or counsel about your healing
experiences
* know that you are here for a higher purpose, even if you are
unsure what it is or how to fulfill it
Everywhere on the planet right now, lightworkers are awakening
to faint memories about why they came to earth. They hear an inner
calling that can't be ignored. This call is a reminder that it
is now time to stop toying with material dreams, and get to work.
Many lightworkers are discovering innate spiritual gifts,
such as psychic communication skills and spiritual healing abilities.
These are the gifts that we volunteered to use to heal the earth
and her population during the crucial decades surrounding the
millennium. Prophecies predicted our coming, and now it is time
for us to fulfill our divine purposes. The world depends upon
us!
We, who are lightworkers, don't necessarily need to add
anything to ourselves to prepare for our mission. We already have
innate abilities, even if they are presently dormant. Instead,
we need to work on releasing fears which keep us from feeling
confident in our lightworker abilities. When you remind yourself
that your power as a lightworker comes from your higher self and
God, not from "you," automatically you feel more assured
of your abilities as a spiritual healer.
With our focused intent, thought, and spirit, we can heal
anything. There are no limits, except those we place upon our
healing abilities. We definitely can heal the earth with our spiritual
approach. In fact, scientists have recently demonstrated that
people can change water and air temperature and also cloud structures,
purely through their thoughts. Researchers have known for years
that prayer positively affects plants and animals. Lightworkers'
collective prayers and healing thoughts can avert prophecies of
world trauma.
There is only one spirit and one mind, and we are all part
of this collective intelligence and love. Miraculous results in
scientific laboratories are demonstrating the factual basis of
the oneness of all life. Last year, U.S. and Japanese scientists
hooked-up test subjects to blood pressure and heart monitor machines.
Simultaneously, in separate and sealed rooms, other test subjects
were asked to think loving or angry thoughts about the people
hooked-up to the machines. At the exact instant when a subject
held a loving thought, the monitored person's blood pressure and
heart rate significantly dropped. And then, at the precise moment
when an angry thought was projected, the person's vital signs
sky-rocketed upward.
We who are lightworkers are already aware of the power
of our thoughts. What we are continuing to learn, however, is
that our thoughts are even more powerful than we suspected! A
large part of our lightworker function, then, is to continuously
monitor our own thoughts to ensure they are from a high and loving
plane. When we occasionally slip into fearful or judgmental thoughts,
we can release these thoughtforms to the angels which surround
us, knowing that these spiritual companions want to help us fulfill
our sacred purpose.
If your intuition is urging you toward a healing function,
you can be sure that this is a Divine voice and not just wishful
thinking. During the last several years, a spiritual call has
been broadcast like a psychic "help wanted" ad asking
for lightworkers to awaken to their healing roles. Those who have
heard the call sometimes contact me, asking for reassurance that
this inner voice isn't setting them up for disappointment or possible
failure.
I can certainly understand this fear, since I experienced
it myself. When I was a young mother of two and an uneducated
housewife, I began having spontaneous visions in which I saw myself
as a healer and author. These visions frightened me, because I
didn't think I had the time, money, or intelligence to succeed.
So I began overeating to silence the inner voice and visions.
I didn't feel ready or qualified to
What I was doing was the equivalent of pushing the "snooze
button" on my spiritual alarm clock. Overeating was my way
of delaying God's plan for me, because food would temporarily
drown out the sound and sight of my Divine life plan. I gained
nearly 50 pounds before I finally surrendered to the Creator and
asked for help in making my inner vision a reality. I discovered
that as soon as I committed to following my life purpose, doors
opened up for me in succession. In miraculous ways that I could
never have planned for, everything in my visions became a reality.
We cannot fail when we accept the mission we chose for
ourselves prior to incarnation. The power and intelligence of
the One mind makes no mistakes. We would not have been assigned
our lightworker role, were we not perfectly qualified. Since we
are made in the image and likeness of One who is all-knowing,
all-loving, and able to heal anything, we can relax in the sure
knowledge that we were born to heal.
