Change Toward Fulfilment

By Michael Newton

Life is a matter of constant change toward fulfilment. Our place in the world today may be different tomorrow. We must learn to adapt to these different perspectives in life because that, too, is part of the plan for our development. In so doing, there is a transcendence of Self from the masking process of a temporary outer shell to that which lies deep within our permanent soul mind.

To uplift the human mind from feelings of disenchantment, we must expand our consciousness while forgiving ourselves for mistakes. I believe it is vital to our mental health that we laugh at ourselves and the foolish predicaments we get into along the road. Life is full of conflicts and the struggle, pain and happiness we experience are all reasons for our being here. Each day is a new beginning.

The following quote is from a being who was preparing for another departure from the spirit world into a new incarnation on Earth...

"Coming to Earth is about traveling away from our home to a foreign land. Some things seem familiar but most are strange until we get used to them, especially conditions which are unforgiving.

"Our real home is a place of absolute peace, total acceptance and complete love. As souls separated from our home, we can no longer assume these beautiful features will be around us. On Earth we must learn to cope with intolerance, anger and sadness while searching for joy and love.

"We must not lose our integrity along the way, sacrificing goodness for survival and acquiring attitudes of either superiority or inferiority to those around us. We know that living in an imperfect world will help us to appreciate the true meaning of perfection.

"We ask for courage and humility before our journey into another life. As we grow into awareness so will the quality of our existence improve. This is how we are tested. Passing this test is our destiny."

Dr. Newton is the author of three best-selling books, Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives (Llewellyn, 1994) from which the above article is extracted, Destiny of Souls: New Case Studies of Life Between Lives (Llewellyn, May 2000), and Life Between Lives: Hypnotherapy for Spiritual Regression (Llewellyn, 2004).
