The Relevance of the Past
The past is part of our lives; nothing can change it or
make it different. No matter how much we regret what
we have done or has happened to us in the past, there
is nothing that we can do to make it happen any
differently. A happy memory of the past can make us
smile; a painful memory of the past can, even after
many years, bring us to tears. Unfortunately it is
usually the painful memories of the past that we
remember most often. The painful memories are the
ones that have the power to paralyze us with fear, to
rack us with guilt, to haunt us daily. If we do not learn
to control our memories of the past, they can and will
control us and our future.
Without attention, the past can easily write the script
for our future because what we focus on becomes our
reality. So if we focus our attention on the inequities,
pain, hardships, disappointments and unpleasantness of
the past, it becomes our experience in the present and
the future. As we remember the past, we need to ask
ourselves two questions: 'what did it mean to me then'
and 'what does it mean to me now'? This helps us
establish a sense of relevance about the past that will
help us heal it and put it in its proper place, in the past
so that it no longer has a place in our present or our
future.
Looking at the past in terms of what it meant to us
then can help us give it a different meaning, one that
takes it out of the past and brings it to the light of the
present. We must look at our mindset, our choices, our
abilities at that time, to put the past into perspective.
It does us no good to remember the past with today's
viewpoint-we are a different person now than we were
then, mainly because of what we learned from our past
experiences. Then, we must look at what the past
means to us now. Is it still relevant or important? How
much of our present have we allowed it to influence?
Do we still want to do that? Is it time to let it go?
When we work to heal the past we have to look at its
relevance to us so that we can understand the
experience within the framework of who we are today
instead of who we were days, months or even years
before. When we can put the past into perspective we
can begin the process of healing it, realizing that we
will always remember what has happened to us, we
cannot change it, but we can make the future
different. Our task, in the Shift, is to learn to live in
the 'now,' in the present moment and when we do that,
the past must remain in the past because there is no
place for it in the 'now.'

Blessings to you all!
The February article is posted on the Uriel Heals
website and this month's message is about how to
remember the past. In this week's article, the issue of
the relevance of the past is addressed. When we
review the past, we have to look at what it meant to
us then and when it means now because when we learn
to live in the Now, there is no room for the past.
This week's Today's Children article discusses the
opinionated generation and how Indigo and Crystal
children use their incredible determination to get what
they want.

Trying to do Good
It is human nature to want to help others, especially
when they are experiencing difficulties, having problems
with their lives or going through something that we just
completed or have some experience with. We feel that,
by helping, we can ease the process for them, make
the situation less difficult and that they will benefit
from our own experience. But these efforts often
backfire on us and can get us involved in situations
that can draw us into another's 'stuff' so that we can
go from being finished with a lesson to being right back
into it. That doesn't mean that we have to avoid doing
good for others, just that we have to be careful of how
we help others and what we do for them.
When we try to 'do good' for others we place ourselves
on shaky ground because it can become difficult to
separate ourselves from their needs. Depending on the
situation that they are in, someone who is going
through a difficult time can become extremely needy
and dependent on us. We can then go from being
the 'shoulder to cry on' to being the one who does all
of the work to get them through the experience. Then
they can turn from being happy for our help to being
demanding, needy and even angry if we cannot meet
their needs and help them get through their situation.
Our attempts to do good can then create an endless
cycle of need that can make our own lives difficult.
Many people who are going through the Shift
experience are facing difficult and traumatic life
changes that can change them dramatically. So a once
strong person can become extremely helpless; someone
who was once very capable is suddenly incapable of
doing even the simplest tasks. When we offer to help,
we suddenly become their resource and that puts us in
a situation that can quickly spiral out of control. That
doesn't mean that we have to stop trying to do good,
just that we need to choose what we are willing to do
for others and learn that we have limits as to how
much we are able to help someone.
Just as we have gone through our own Shift experience
and felt all of its fears and uncertainties, everyone
today is going through a similar trial. They are just
experiencing it in a different way. Our ability to share
our spiritual understanding with them is the best help
that we can give them. This way, we stay out of
their 'stuff' and we help them to learn the lessons that
they need to, so that they don't have to repeat the
lesson. Sometimes, someone's lesson is to learn to do
something by themselves and if we are always there,
trying to do good, we are merely delaying the
inevitable. Sooner or later, they will have to learn to do
it alone, without help, without someone holding their
hand, looking over their shoulder, or doing the work for
them. So the next time you are tempted to 'do good'
for someone, think carefully about what you are getting
yourself involved in and consider the route of
compassionate assistance, sharing your spiritual
understanding, instead of doing the work for them.

Uriel's Message
Despite your best efforts, it is impossible to make
someone see things your way. Everyone has a unique
perspective on the world that is a combination of their
life experiences, beliefs, energetic vibration and spiritual
understanding. They also have free will, which they can
use to change, or not, according to their abilities. And
everyone is able to advance spiritually at their own
pace and within their own timing. While that can
change from day to day, it is an individual's choice as
to when, and if, it happens.
As spiritual teachers, this can be very frustrating for
you because when you know the Truth that will set
people free from their fears and doubts, will help them
along their spiritual path and raise their vibrations, you
want to share the information with them. When you do,
they may or may not be receptive to it. That does not
mean that they you did not convey the information well
or do not understand it yourself. It just means that
they are not ready, not willing and they cannot see the
situation your way.
The role of a teacher is to convey information and the
role of the student is to absorb the information and
process it in a manner that makes sense to them Your
focus on learning information in a certain way, as you
did in school, leads you to believe that if a student
cannot repeat the information back to you, they either
have not learned anything or the teacher did not do a
good job. But, this is a different time and spiritual
understanding is a different matter.
Each of you is becoming an individual, instead of trying
to fit into a mold that was pre-determined by someone
else. This is a time of new beginnings for all of
humanity, a time to appreciate your differences
knowing that these differences give you a unique
perspective on the world. Trying to make someone see
things your way is a futile effort because as teachers
you will also learn from each person with whom you
share your knowledge, as well as imparting your
knowledge. You will miss this learning if your focus is on
trying to make others see things your way. Instead,
remember that they will always have their unique
perspective on the world, one which you can enrich by
sharing what you know and letting them proceed at
their own pace.

Today's Children--The Opinionated Generation
The new article on today's children is now available on
the website. This month's article is about the truth
that these children are revealing to us about ourselves,
our lives and our world. This generation is known by
many names, including Indigo and Crystal Children, Star
Children, Light Children. Whatever name they are known
by, they are a generation that we have never seen
before and they have special needs, gifts and talents.
The Crystal and Indigo children represent the new,
higher energetic patterns that are arriving to change
the Earth's vibrational frequency.This new series
provides information on these children and the
wonderful gifts they bring to the world.
As the parent of two Indigos and a Crystal child, I have
always been amazed at how opinionated my children
were and how differently they expressed their opinions.
My Indigo son and daughter were always loud and
rebellious-they knew how they wanted things to work
or how things should be and were not willing to
compromise. They were highly critical of my mistakes
(or what in their eyes were mistakes) and did not
hesitate to tell me about them. My Crystal child was
less vocal and more understanding and gentle, but even
more determined-he knew exactly what he wanted and
would accept no less, even as a little baby when he
insisted on being put to bed when he was tired, with
the light off and door shut-no rocking chair time or
night light for this child!
Although I was a parent who set boundaries about
parental respect and talking back, I often thought that
I would never have dared speak to my parents the way
my children spoke to me (although I probably thought
about it) when they disagreed with me about
something. And this is the nature of Indigo and Crystal
children. Indigos are here to break systems, so they
came equipped with a strong sense of who they are, of
what is right and wrong and an even stronger sense of
intolerance for what does not fit those parameters.
They are fearless and willing to change the systems
that do not work for them. Crystals, who are still
young, are as determined as Indigos but express their
opinions less rebelliously but with as much
determination. The strength of their opnion lies in their
unshakable sense of who they are and their connection
to their Source. It is almost impossible to force a
Crystal child to do something that they do not want to
do. And trying to will only result in angering them and
worse, in deflating their spirits.
The parents of Indigos and Crystals were raised in
environment where children had little power, and were
not expected to have opinions, much less express
them. But this generation is very opinionated and needs
opportunities to both express their opinions and then
have an opportunity to work with them. Many do so on
the Internet, some write books and others create
causes to give a voice to what they believe is
important. Instead of stifling their opinions, we should
remember that they came to clear a path for new
energies and they are opening our eyes to the fact
that we accept many things in our lives without
question. Well, Indigos are here to question and to
start the changes and Crystals are here to cement
them and they will do their work, with or without our
help. We can make this transition easier by working
with them and their unique energies (once we get over
the shock!) and help them with their task. They will, in
turn, help open our eyes to the systems that need to
be changed, to what we accept
without question, so that we work together to allow
these new energies to do their work.
