“The physical world is our creation: we each create our own version of the world, our particular reality, our unique life experience. Because my life is being created through my channel, I can look at my creation to get feedback about myself. Just as an artist looks at her creation to see what works well and what doesn’t, we can look at the ongoing masterwork of our lives to appreciate who we are and to recognize what we still need to learn. We’re creating our lives as we go along; therefore our experiences and needs give us an instant ongoing reflection of ourselves. In fact the external world is like a giant mirror which reflects both our spirits and our forms clearly and accurately. Once we have learned how to look into it and perceive and interpret its reflection, we have a fabulous tool.”

Shakti Gawain from her book Living in the Light

“As channels for the Universe, we must have available, a full range of expression and emotion. If the higher power tells us to leap, we must be able to leap without stopping to ask questions. If it tells us to wait, we must be able to relax and enjoy the space of non-activity until the next message comes. We will always be pushed to explore aspects of ourselves that are less developed to express and experience ourselves in new ways. If we ignore these inner impulses we will be forced by external life circumstances to explore our inner being anyway. One way or another our higher self makes sure that we get the message of what we have to do. We may have to go from one extreme to the other until we come into balance.
You can expect that your intuition will lead you in directions that are new and different for you. If you are comfortable in one type of personality or pattern, you will probably be asked to start expressing the opposite. It’s good to know this, especially when you’re in the process of learning to hear your inner voice. A good rule might be to, expect the unexpected.”
