Old Souls

Baby souls follow.

Young souls lead.

But old souls, Laurel, are happy to dance alone.

Not that I'm spying on you,
The Universe


Laurel, your wisdom is showing.

Wiki this...

As mentioned in the brochures, Laurel, used for recruiting alien life forms from distant realities: "'Time and Space' is where you're never judged, only loved, anyone can be a rock star, and your keys will be wherever you left them."

Spot on, huh?

Wiki this,
The Universe


Keys, Laurel, not kids. And, yes, the rock star bit also caught your attention back when you were an alien life form.

Knowing the difference

It's not that you worry, Laurel, but that you care. A lot.

And knowing this difference can make such a difference, because then you can also remember that caring is my specialty, that every life unfolds in the palm of my hand, and that not one second of eternity is ever revealed that I haven't carefully prepared.

Silly,
The Universe


But hey, Laurel, thanks anyway.

"But, of course!"

Laurel, the beginner scorns criticism.

The wise soul carefully weighs it.

And the Master says, "But, of course!"

The Universe


Laurel, this isn't about agreeing with it, necessarily, but understanding how you summoned it and why it may have stung. Because, yeah, you did, and it didn't have to.

Generosity and gratitude

Generosity and gratitude, Laurel, turn good into great.

Thank you, you're welcome -
The Universe


And in their wake, Laurel, more is summoned.

Dream of possibilities

What I most want you to dream of, Laurel, are possibilities that thrill you.

What I most want you to feel, is happy.

And what I most want you to know, is that you're loved.

Always,
The Universe

What I most want you to dream of, Laurel, are possibilities. Rich, glorious, amazing possibilities. Like your new, faster, fancier, lighter laptop in every color and flavor imaginable, motorized fuzzy dice, and shag carpet... kind of.

Believe what you want

People believe what they want to believe, Laurel. And this, alone, explains what they have or don't have.

Does that make your entire flippin' day, or what?!
The Universe


Believe what you want, Laurel. Give yourself permission, and don't be afraid to go BIG.

Just carry on...

It's kind of strange, Laurel, but first you have to know what you want, defined in terms of the end result. And then you have to physically move towards it, without defining the hows.

At which point, the thing you want actually starts coming to you, on its own terms, from a direction completely unexpected.

Not unlike a cat,
The Universe


Just carry on, Laurel, detached from the details and timing, and perhaps act like you just couldn't care less. Meow.

And that's OK.

Some, Laurel, are better loved from a distance.

For a while, anyway.

And that's OK.

The Universe


Besides, Laurel, love doesn't really know the difference.

Know how much you do!

To some, on other planets, Laurel, you get more done in a single day than they do in an entire year.

On this planet, however, getting things done has been confused with worthiness.

I guess that pretty much answers the intelligent life question.

You're still out of this world,
The Universe

Laurel, there will always be more you could do, but I, for one, would have more fun watching and helping if you realized fully how much you already do, and knew how worthy you already are.

Please pass the Grey Poupon

Through the prism of time and space, Laurel, the scary stuff always looks scarier than it really is.

But this is offset by the fact that the great stuff is always greater... is frequently on sale, comes in more flavors, and goes with pretty much everything.

Please pass the Grey Poupon,
The Universe

Things are always better than you think, Laurel.

...all that you dream of already exists.

Do you know what happens, Laurel, when a dream comes true and you feel your joy bubbling over into wide grins, happy dances, and shrieks of "Holy @#$%!!" and the like?

Your energy actually spills over into the oceans of time and reaches into the past where it laps upon the shores of a former here and now, infusing a former unsuspecting self (who is still merrily living their life due to time's "simultaneousity") with a flash of inspiration or a burst of intuition; a hope for what the future might hold.

Whew... and that, my friend, is the truth about where dreams come from.

The Universe


Laurel, all that you dream of already exists.

A Life Coaching Tip

A Life Coaching Tip from The Universe:

The time will come, Laurel, and it will be sooner rather than later, when your greatest admirers and protégés will look at your life - your achievements, possessions (especially your new, faster, fancier, lighter laptop), and passions - frown a little and sullenly say, "Yeah, but for you... it was easy." At which point you should conceal any yearning you may possess to either object or laugh hysterically. Instead, lovingly look them square in the eye and say, "Yes, and it can be easy for you, too."

Get used to it,
The Universe

Laurel, you have much to teach.

Hidden highways of opportunity

Laced throughout every day of your life, Laurel, are hidden highways of opportunity, invisible crossroads of time, and golden avenues for personal transformation that if only traveled upon would reveal the extraordinary, the sublime, and the unexpected.

Yet most slip by undetected until there's first a childlike wonder at the ordinary, the routine, and the expected.

Hot diggity-dog,
The Universe

After all, Laurel, it's usually a dirt road that leads to the diamond mine.

You're dreaming-g-g-g.

Laurel, oh Laurel-ie-poo... you're dreaming-g-g-g. And while I abhor the idea of disturbing you when things are getting so very exciting in your life, I just want to remind you that no matter what may ever happen, the dreamer is always greater than the dream.

You're the greatest -
The Universe
Laurel... you're dreaming-g-g-g.

Love rocks

The more one loves for no reason at all, Laurel, the easier their life, the greater their friends, and the happier their times.

Love rocks,
The Universe

Not to mention, Laurel... the louder their laughter, the sweeter their smile, the faster their wheels, the bigger their deals, the cleaner their grill, and the less they'll have to spend on aspirin for various and sundry reasons.

Don't hold back

You may not be able to take "it" with you, Laurel, but whatsoever you may do, be, or have in time and space, is already waiting for you here, times 10,000.

Don't hold back,
The Universe

And... whatsoever you may give in time and space, Laurel, will be returned gilded in gold, on silver wings, dipped in chocolate. Really.

Every day's a party....

There's never been a conflict, Laurel, from which both parties didn't have something very cool to learn.

That's why we call them parties.

Gr-r-r-
The Universe

Actually, every day's a party, Laurel, in time and space.

"get out more."

There's always a price to be paid for doing, being, and having more, and it has little to do with working harder or knowing the "right" people.

In as few words as possible, Laurel... "get out more."

Even more,
The Universe

While holding the vision, Laurel, not worrying about the hows, and, every now and then, sauntering.

It's the moment

It's not the day you have to manage, Laurel, but the moment.

It's not the dragon you have to slay, but the fear.

And it's not the path you have to know, but the destination.

What a relief, huh?
The Universe


Happy 4th of July!!!!!


Love every moment, Laurel; nothing can make you less.

Everything, always, and forever.

It's ALL God, Laurel.

Everything, always, and forever.

Good,
The Universe

It's ALL good, Laurel.
