July 2009 message   The Soul Partnership    In our day to day lives, where we do the ordinary things such as eat, sleep, work, play, have children, pay our bills and get through life we are not accustomed to looking beyond the person we see in the mirror every morning and thinking of ourselves as anything but ordinary. We are humans, physical bodies existing on and interacting with the earth and yet we are so much more. A higher truth is beginning to dawn upon humanity, that there is more to us than what we have been told or believe and that whatever we know will be challenged beyond our imagining.   This higher truth tells us that there is something more, another aspect to our humanity that is not something that we can see, taste, feel, hear or touch but whose presence is there, on the fringe of our awareness. This aspect of ourselves exists outside the material plane so it is difficult for us to connect with it until we are open to its presence. It is our soul and is the reason for our physical body, our daily life, our thoughts, actions and knowing and understanding its journey gives our life new meaning and explains our purpose.   The soul is more than an important part of our life journey, it is the reason for our journey. Without the soul’s contract for healing we have no reason to be here. And yet without the body the soul cannot exist on the material plane. If the soul is such an important part of our life, how can we live without acknowledging its presence? We do but in different ways and as we move through this acknowledgement process, we discover an important truth, that the soul will work with us to heal and waits for us to arrive at that place.   When we are completely unaware of the soul’s presence and purpose we live life through the ego so our life experiences can range from a variety of ups and downs to uncontrollable chaos. From the ego’s standpoint, there can only be one energy in our life and partnership is not possible. The ego demands control and will put up a good fight to ensure that it receives no interference. Where is the soul while our life is falling apart? It is participating at the level of our karma and soul wounds, which is what we came to heal. Is it reminding us of other alternatives? Yes, but we probably are not aware of what is says because our energetic vibrations are at the level of our karma. So no matter how loudly the soul speaks to us, we cannot hear it because we are not listening.   When we are partly aware of the soul’s presence we live in a kind of limbo, where we know that there are other options available to us but either cannot or do not want to acknowledge them. We know that we are suffering but feel that we deserve to suffer, we are not worthy of anything else and our fear of change is greater than our fear of suffering. Do we hear the soul’s call for healing? Yes, from time to time, but we are not vibrating at the level of healing, we are still at the level of our karma and suffering. Even though we may try to do some healing work on occasion we are not fully in its vibration so when it does not work or meet our expectations, we see it as another reason to justify our suffering and we continue down this path until the next lessons appear.   With full awareness of the soul’s presence we exist in a balance between the spiritual and material, mindful of our physical presence and allowing the soul to participate in our human experience. This is the best and most fulfilling use of the soul’s presence and guidance, which is only possible when we are willing to raise our energetic vibrations to the level of allowing healing to occur. This is our call to Spirit and the soul can begin to provide us with the wisdom and understanding that we need to end our suffering and live in peace and joy. The soul reminds us of the unconditional love and divinity that are part of our whole life experience but is lacking when we live solely through the ego. And unlike the ego, the soul acknowledges the benefits of partnership between spirit and material, between human and divine, that is necessary for heaven on earth to exist.   The soul does not force us to do anything and it waits for us to acknowledge it knowing that when we have suffered enough, are in enough pain, are scared beyond our fears, we will turn towards it and be ready for healing. This is how we have always made the decision to accept healing and there is another way, where we recognize the soul’s role in our healing and learn to work with it before the suffering begins. We have the option to acknowledge the soul’s presence from the outset of our journey, partner with it to do our healing work and then explore new vibrations of being, new life experiences that do not include karma and suffering and a new paradigm for us. This is the soul’s promise to us and to our frightened ego, that we will remain human and through our divine partnership create a new paradigm of humanity whose foundation is wholeness, connection and partnership with Spirit. Then we will be blessed beyond our imagining because we will have completed the work that we started in partnership with the soul, to heal and release karma from both our individual and the collective consciousness, to create harmony between our spiritual and material beings and to bring the energy of heaven to earth.   About the Author Jennifer Hoffman is an intuitive, spiritual healer, mentor, teacher and author and  channels the energy of the Archangel Uriel.

When the 13th planet in your solar system is discovered, the ascension process will be complete. At that time your solar system will ascend and you will be able to see the other planets in their true form. This has been hidden from you because you have to complete the ascension process without assistance, as have the other planets. You will know of the existence of other life forms and beings within your galaxy. The ascension will include your solar system and your galaxy and as you move into higher dimensions a new earth will be born for those who ascend and one for those who do not choose to do so. There are those who are required to stay within the third dimension adn assist in additional aspects of the ascension process. They have chosen to do this and this is their contribution to the continuing energetic shifts in the Universe.  All is in divine order. Hurricane Katrina This is another example of the earth changes that will occur in the world in order to assist humanity in the awakening process. These events are occurring to create opportunities for compassion and an opening of the heart connection for all of the people on earth. Honor  and pray for the souls that participated in this process. Approximately one million people have given their lives to this cause. Act with compassion towards the refugees and the grieving, whether that involves giving of your time or financial resources. The Tsunami in Asia The tsunami in Asia is one of many earth changes which will occur over the next year. Beginning in 2005 you will experience many changes in weather patterns, climate and unusual storms and events. These are part of the earth's cycle. The souls who left the earth, and there will be close to 1 million deaths, although that number will not be reported, did so voluntarily. Their purpose was to create compassion and understanding, which they did. The outpouring of assistance for these areas was tremendous. At this time, the entire world stands together to help the survivors. Let this continue and become the new paradigm for humanity. Why is there War instead of Peace? Some of you wonder, if we have reached such a stage of enlightenment, then why do we still have war, why is there so much chaos? Remember that all things in the world are done by choice and each individual must choose their own spiritual evolution.  So for many, the Shift will go unnoticed and they will continue to experience their karma. Each of you evolves at your own rate and you must not judge others' rate of evolution based on your own. As you shift you are able to send more and more light into the world. Each person who walks in the light can decide to choose peace. When enough of you make this choice, war will no longer be a choice. Focus on peace and on spreading light to the world. Be at peace in your own heart. This is the greatest gift that you can offer to others and it will assist in humanity's shift in consciousness more than you can know. Global Unrest and Overpopulation There is much confusion in the world today and much social and political unrest. This is causing much fear among humanity. You must remove yourself from the fear and see the situations as what they are, part of the spiritual plan. At this time, humanity has been invited to participate in an unprecedented Shift in consciousness. It is essential that you understand that the Shift in consciousness is one from your third dimensional reality, which is karma-based, to higher dimensions, beginning with the fourth, where karma does not exist. But karma must be experienced and forgiven in order to be fully erased. These incidents are opportunities to heal the karmic hierarchies that have been the center of humanity's existence and indeed, its central purpose in its incarnation on the Earth. That is why there are more people on the planet than there have ever been before, as many souls are incarnating in order to heal their karma, which can only done on the Earth plane. Sickness and Disease These are occurring at what appears to be an unprecedented level only because there are so many more people on the Earth at this time in order to participate in the Shift and to heal their karma. Of particular concern is heart disease and there will be many more incidents of 'heart attacks' in the upcoming years. This is because the Shift in consciousness is a movement in your emotional energy center from one of the three lower chakras to the fourth, the heart chakra. Many will be unwilling to shift this energy or will be unable to withstand the intensity of the energy at this heart center. The result will be a 'heart attack.' Cancer is a 'wasting' disease, representative of the fear, negativity, judgment and lack of love that has long been central to the human condition. Removal of these emotions, in the form of unconditional forgiveness, is a source of healing of this condition. There will be a rise in the number of cancer cases in the coming years, as well as other diseases, which appear to highlight areas of the human experience which require forgiveness.  Obesity On a global level, obesity has become part of the human condition.  This problem affects both men and women, but is particularly apparent among women. It is linked to your perception that you are 'less powerful' in spiritual terms which causes you to expand your size in your third dimensional reality. You live in societies whose sole purpose is to control and to keep you in your third dimensional state. Every day you are bombarded with messages that you are 'not enough' or do not 'have enough.' Once you reconnect to your spiritual center and realize that you are an infinite, unlimited emanation of the God Creator, you will not need to increase your presence on the physical plane in order to create a perception of more power.   Global Warming and Pollution Your physical lifetimes are merely a speck in the flow of Consciousness and therefore you do not have an awareness of the Earth's ecological cycles. You worry about whether the planet will be destroyed through your wars or weapons of mass destruction or its ecology permanently damaged. Understand that the Earth will not allow humanity to destroy her and whatever damage is done to her environment will be healed. The increased interest in the Earth's ecosystems and the peace movements are part of the Shift. Know that these processes are guided by unseen forces on the spiritual and angelic realms and as more of humanity awakens to its spirituality, this type of harmful activity will diminish. What is more important is that the awakening of humanity is creating such an awareness of the Earth's needs that it is greatly accelerating the Shift. So do not be discouraged by what appears to be a battle that cannot be won because the battle is being won on the spiritual realm. The global problem of pollution is a reflection of the pollution within your own lives. Ask yourselves how your own lives are being polluted through your negativity, unforgiveness, judgment and relinquishing of your power. 'As within, so without.'  As each individual clears the pollution in their emotional, mental and physical bodies, the Earth's environment will begin to reflect those changes. About these channeled messages In 2003 Archangel Uriel appeared to me and asked me to begin channeling for him, in the form of writing the Uriel Heals newsletter, building a website and teaching people about the mission of bringing heaven on earth. At first I was not sure that I was the right person for the task, I did not know what to expect or that I could do it. Since that time I have channeled hundreds of messages, taught many classes, and provided thousands with healing and empowering messages from Archangel Uriel through spiritual readings, energetic attunements, spiritual mentoring, coaching and healings. I am honored to bring these messages to the world and to you, for your healing journey. I hope that you are blessed, empowered and enocuraged by them.   Article Copyright © 2009  by Jennifer Hoffman and Enlightening Life OmniMedia, Inc..
