For your reading pleasure from Staying In Alignment:
"STAYING IN ALIGNMENT WITH SELF
KNOWING WHO WE are and what we are here to contribute, and supporting this in ourselves and others, will immediately place us in alignment. This chapter could probably be summed up in one sentence:
When we follow the path of what "feels good" to us, we cannot go wrong.
And following what feels good to us is dictated by who we are. If something feels good to us, it is usually best to go that route. In this way, we are continually on a path of where we need to be.
We are in alignment, then, with ourselves. One sure fire way to know who we are and what we are about, is to follow the path of what feels good. When we feel a passion for something, it is because we are remembering what it was that we came to do.
When we feel passion, it is because most everything about a certain subject or path is fitting us and in alignment with us.
The more ducks there are in a row in regard to what fits us, the more passion we feel. And the more passion we feel, the more in alignment with Source we are, allowing this energy to pour through us with no hesitation. This is the way it was meant to be.
At times we may not do what we love or what feels best because it does not generate money, or we feel a responsibility to others, or possibly we even put ourselves last. A lamp cannot generate light if it is not filled with oil. The heart must first pump blood to itself before it can take care of the rest of our body. And even on an airline, we are advised in an emergency to place an oxygen mask on ourselves before we place one on our children.
Taking the time to pursue a hobby, a creative outlet, or a specific interest allows us to be much more of who we are. And being as much of whom we are as we possibly can, greatly places us in alignment with Source, as the part of us that is truly Source, is the pure gold nugget of our gifts and talents.
Taking time for ourselves in this way also benefits others, as our vibration is then higher.
Following our interests and spending as much time in this arena as we can, places us in alignment with who we are.
In more highly evolved societies in other worlds, the purpose and contribution of each individual at their time of birth is widely known by all. In this way, each and every person can then be supported by the whole. Who they are is known and seen, so an alignment to Source is then greatly supported.
The Story of Aspen
One day when I was living in Flagstaff, Arizona, I was phoned by a friend who asked me if I would take care of a feral kitten her partner had found alone on a lonely street in town. My friend was a wonderful angel to the cat species, and frequently fostered them. I immediately said yes, as she was feeding this kitten from an eye-dropper every three hours and had been called in for jury duty. This kitten had evidently been temporarily estranged from its' mother and siblings.
Well, after one day, I was in love, and asked if I could keep this beautiful little Siamese kitten that barely fit in the palm of my hand.
I named her Aspen, and as the days and months progressed, she grew into a healthy, very lively, and curious young cat. She wanted to be wherever I was, often sitting on the edge of the bathtub while I soaked, climbing into drawers when I got dressed, and going on every trip with me. I loved her company, and when I had a project to do, I immediately included her in it, as she loved to be involved in anything and everything that was going on. At night she slept with me, cheek to cheek, her purring becoming a soothing lullaby of comfort and joy. We were truly the best of friends.
When she was about 4 months old, I moved to the White Mountains, where she adjusted most beautifully and remained an integral part of my small family of two cats and myself. One night while I was writing on my laptop, I noticed her standing at the sliding glass door, wanting to come in. When I opened the door, she seemed to be behaving rather peculiarly, as she walked inside. She then lay down on the floor and stayed there frozen in fear and shock. I immediately knew that something was dreadfully wrong. My lively and fun loving animal companion was not herself at all. She could not move, and how she dragged herself inside, was a miracle in itself.
She smelled of rubber, and I instinctively knew that she had been hit by a car. In a panic, I called every vet in the phonebook, and as I later came to know, there was no vet in my town, and no after hours vet service anywhere in the area.
Eventually, after many, many, calls, I rousted a vet out of his home, and he agreed to meet me at his office, an hour and a half away.
It was determined that the tire of a vehicle had slammed down upon her tail and pulled it violently from her body, breaking it at the base and causing paralysis to her hind quarters. After many vet visits and many medications, she recovered well enough to walk and play, was no longer in pain, but could not control her bowels or bladder. At one point when I had to return her to the vet to stay for awhile, I began to cry during the drive home. I knew she was suffering so. It was so difficult to watch, and all I wanted was for her to be well again.
Seeing me in distress, her non-physical star family arrived in the car with an important message for me. "You are taking on Aspen's journey as your own," they said. "All is in perfect order, as she is going through her initiation. She is here to be one with nature and be at home in the nature kingdom. She was getting a bit 'lazy,' forgetting why she was here, and not owning her true power. She is needing to take some responsibility for herself."
Well, I had checked in on her soul purpose when she was very young, and knew this was her role, but evidently, she was slacking on the job! I had assumed that she would most likely spend a lot of time outdoors, and had left it at that.
Eventually I brought her home, but she still had little control over her bowels and bladder. After much research and many consultations, her vet did not know for certain if she would return to complete health, but we were both hopeful. Not wanting her to be isolated and alone in her recovery, I laid down big sheets of plastic on the living room floor and covered the furniture to protect it from her "leaking." A week went by, and still no change. The living conditions were getting a bit stressful (as well as smelly with much washing to do!), so I then sealed off the kitchen from the rest of the house and had her stay there. I felt badly that she was alone, so I moved my big chair in the kitchen so that I could write with her by my side.
Another week went by, and still no change.
At this point, my house had become chaotic and crazy, with me sleeping on the floor at times, or trying to make any kind of arrangements for Aspen's comfort. Whenever I read her energy, I saw the same thing...she was taking absolutely no responsibility energetically or at a soul level for herself. I was doing it all, and at my own expense. She didn't seem to care much, gladly accepted what I offered, and was not moving into or owning her own power.
One morning I woke up and knew that something was dreadfully "off." Something had to give. After spending some time looking at her soul purpose and talking with her star family, it was determined that she needed to be out in nature where she had come to be in the first place. She reminded me of Simba, in Disney's The Lion King...not wanting to take her rightful power and move into her intended responsibility. By over caring for her at my own expense, I had been enabling this behavior. I had been robbing her of her place in nature. The energy of every feral cat I have ever done a reading for looks the same. They are here to be in the wild. Their purpose is either in bringing in higher energy or in reporting back conditions of the earth. They are never meant to be residing with humans. This only serves to rob them of their purpose.
So with tears streaming down my face, I took her to a beautiful place out near some near-by ranches and let her go. I knew she was a great mouser and I knew there was water near-by. She would then be "forced" to step up to the plate and own her true power as one who commands and is fully in harmony with the nature world. For many nights I could not sleep, but one night I had a dream that her tail was again upright and she was thriving in the wild. I still think of her often, and have to know that she is where she was meant to be. And perhaps one day when she is fully integrated in her soul purpose, she will again be in my space in some capacity.
When we know the soul purpose of another, we are then able to support it in all ways. Many times when we think we are helping, we are actually hindering, as with good intentions in mind, we really do not know that all is in order when we see what appears to be suffering on the part of another. Supporting the soul purpose of another places us in alignment with ourselves.
