Dear Soul Proof family,

Welcome to this month’s newsletter with lots of great news and resources for creating an optimal earthly experience and beyond.

Product of the Month

The Big Picture of Life is a book for young people ages 10 – 16.  However, we’ve heard that some adults learned more from it than the other books.  It was written by me, Gary E. Schwartz PhD, and Katta Mapes who holds dual masters degrees in childhood education and counseling.  Because the book is co-authored, I don’t control the e-book and audio book like I do with my other books.  However, I will send a free PDF e-book to anyone who requests it by emailing me at mark at soulproof.com.

Maiah Pardo created beautiful images to help people learn in ways that words can’t fully convey.  Here’s one of my favorites after we discussed that loved ones don’t really die . . . just their earth-suits do.

Questions & Answers

Q: Are people emailing you with concerns about ostracized by family and friends in these volatile times?  I am highly saddened by the current state of affairs AND I want to believe this could be a ‘tipping point’ for human evolution.  

A: Yes, political differences are so strong these days that some family and friends are divided by it.  I don’t talk about politics and don’t follow the news much since it focuses on the negative and sensationalistic.  From personal experience, I know that most people are loving, friendly, and want peace.  I’ve also heard that report from numerous people who have traveled around the world.

My recommendations about this are to:
1. Enjoy your circle of kindred spirits and like-minded people.  If you need to expand yours, see article #66 Optimal Relationships for More Evolved People at SoulProof.com/ Articles.

2.   Focus on what you have in commonwhen around family and friends whose views differ from yours.  I don’t talk about politics with family and friends who have radically different views.  With others, we have a ‘we’ll just have to agree to disagree’ conversation with love and appreciation for respectful discourse.

Realize that loving relationships are so precious and worth being flexible with what to talk about or not.  And remember this: if you wait to find family and friends who are perfect, you’ll never have any relationships.

3.   Pray, meditate, and use centering practices dailyto stay centered and not get too caught up in the melodrama.  (Articles #51 Meditation, Yoga, and Relaxation, #77 Centering Practices, and #89 Prayer)
4.   Serve others and make our world a better placeby sharing your greatest gifts.  Your soul came to earth at this time for meaningful reasons.  This earthly experience flows MUCH better when you help others and fulfill your soul’s missions.  (Articles #21 Identify and Fulfill Your Highest Purposes and #80 Why Are You on Earth Now? S.A.G.E. Training

I agree that the divisiveness that exists can lead to deeper searching for purpose and meaning.  With a ‘things seem darkest before the dawn’ perspective, current struggles can be seen as humanity’s birth struggles.  I know people whose life is heavenly right now while it’s hellish for others.  We each choose and create the quality of our life . . . no matter what is happening to or around us.  Hindu wisdom teachings asked ‘Is your life like granite that withstands life’s storms?   Or is it life a leaf that blows about with every shifting wind?’

I hope this helps you find, benefit from, and share the silver linings that accompany the divisiveness on earth.

Q: My concern is about ‘The Great News’ that life continues after bodily death. To me that is not great news; in fact, it terrifies me.  Imagine, if you will, existing in a peaceful, beautiful, and loving environment.  Seems pretty great at first, but now imagine a few years of nothing but this. Your existence continues on and on, but doesn’t change. Maybe reincarnation is an opportunity to get out and have different adventures? Since the universe / consciousness is infinite, perhaps our options for what we experience are as well? – Dave

A: Great question, Dave.  When I was age 10, our Lutheran minister said from the pulpit: ‘Someday, we all will be walking on golden streets and playing garden harps forever.’  Even at that young age, I thought: ‘Wouldn’t that get old after a while?’  Forever is a very long time so naturally most souls / people will want to have different experiences.

These days, I consider life’s different experiences to be cyclical and simultaneous versus occurring in a linear progression.  Put another way, life’s various manifestations of energy / life-force seems are more like virtual reality experiences than solid and separate lifetimes.

I love how you answered your own question at the end: “Since the universe / consciousness is infinite, perhaps our options for what we experience are as well?”  Ding, ding, ding.  That’s it in a nutshell, Dave.   Keep searching and thinking for yourself.

Reminders of How Safe, Meaningful, and Magnificent Life Really Is  
Your earthly experience is a totally safe, meaningful, and magnificent adventure amidst eternity.  I know it may not seem like it at times, especially during your toughest changes and challenges.  That’s why it’s important to periodically remember how wonderfully life is set up and use resources to know and show that.            

I hope you enjoy more peace, joy, love, fulfillment, and gratitude as you remember who you are, why you’re here, Who walks beside / within you always, and how to create the greatest life YOU have envisoned.  (‘YOU’ = your higher self / transcendental source of consciousness, not merely your brain-based consciousness.)
