Raphael
|
That is correct.
|
|
Mary
|
Raphael, today I'd like to talk to you about nurturing.
|
|
Raphael
|
So be it!
|
|
Mary
|
What does nurture mean?
|
|
Raphael
|
To nurture in the sense it is used in the messages
means to give loving attention to.
|
|
Mary
|
What does it mean to nurture the soul?
|
|
Raphael
|
When one nurtures the soul, one gives loving attention
to it. Nurturing saves the soul from all negativity
and unhappiness that is inherent on your earthly plane.
|
|
Mary
|
Does nurturing the soul assist us in this our current
life?
|
|
Raphael
|
If a soul is properly nurtured and lovingly watched-over
then less negativity will occur in current lifetime and
experiences on your earthly plane can only be more
fulfilling.
|
|
Mary
|
Can you explain this a little further.
|
|
Raphael
|
The less negativity present will result in more loving
ways to view situations and act upon them. The result
effect will be that the outcomes of experiences will
be more to an individual's own desires.
|
|
Mary
|
Let's take this on step farther. Say one individual
nurtures the soul and applies loving ways in dealing
with life's situations but other forces are negative.
How does this affect nurturing?
|
|
Raphael
|
By one individual nurturing and applying love to
situations it will greatly enhance the outcome to
be more to their liking even though the other forces
such as individual, individuals, or planetary carry
negativity.
|
|
Mary
|
Why is this so?
|
|
Raphael
|
Nurturing carries powerful positive effect which are
so strong they withstand much negativity and negative
forces.
|
|
Mary
|
You say withstand much.
|
|
Raphael
|
That is correct.
|
|
Mary
|
But not all negativity.
|
|
Raphael
|
That is correct.
|
|
Mary
|
Does it then follow that nurturing plays an important
role in future lifetimes.
|
|
Raphael
|
If a soul is fully nurtured at the time the individual
makes the transition then the soul has well prepared
even at that juncture to enter into another lifetime
of experiences with a soul that is cleansed, fresh,
pure and ready for experiences undaunted by the
negativity of a previous life or lives.
|
|
Mary
|
How does one nurture the soul?
|
|
Raphael
|
Nurturing the soul is a peaceful endeavor. One
nurtures the soul by bringing it to love.
|
|
Mary
|
By bringing it to love is such a beautiful statement.
|
|
Raphael
|
Nurturing the soul involves two levels. On one
level it is done through the awakening.
|
|
Mary
|
Please go on.
|
|
Raphael
|
The awakening is a form of ascension but simple.
In this undemanding practice to higher levels,
one must but acknowledge that it is possible
to view all in more loving ways.
|
|
Mary
|
Does this mean viewing all life's problems, emotions,
situations, day-to-day concerns and the like?
|
|
Raphael
|
Precisely, it does.
|
|
Mary
|
What does the next level involve?
|
|
Raphael
|
If one acknowledge that it is possible to view all
in more loving ways then one will find that this
alone has treasured capabilities of filling the
soul entirely with love. Then once the soul is
activated in this precious love, all future loving
actions act to nurture the soul with more love.
|
|
Mary
|
It is all so beautiful, Raphael.
|
|
Raphael
|
It is the intent of nurturing to be exquisitely
beautiful to exemplify the true beauty in all
peoples everywhere on your earthly plane.
|
|
Mary
|
One thought just occurred to me.
|
|
Raphael
|
What is that?
|
|
Mary
|
Is it possible for a person to have been nurturing
his or her soul without being fully aware of it?
|
|
Raphael
|
Quite possible. There are some who have chosen
that path for themselves without realizing it.
|
|
Mary
|
But it doesn't really matter whether this happens
from awakening or through naivete.
|
|
Raphael
|
It matters not! A nurtured soul is like the beauty
of the Ages.
|
|
Mary
|
Thank you, Raphael.
|
|
Raphael
|
Your welcome.
