How much does our memory of being eternal light beings—when we had all the time in the world—play into our collective blind spot to the shortness of our physical lives? This can be seen in the plethora of unfinished projects that many heirs to an estate have to deal with. From thoughts like: “Someday I’m going to restore that car” that sits rusting out in the backyard. Eventually, it becomes painfully clear to everyone, that “someday” is never going to happen as the ravages of time take their toll on both the owner and the project itself. Yet, the stubborn owner hangs on to the dream till death (and sometimes even beyond, as earthbound spirits may still continue to cling to such dreams). Can Creator comment?

Here again is an example of discord between the competing interests of the current life circumstances versus inner yearnings and long-term ambitions that might be realistic or non-realistic if one is overreaching beyond one’s means or capabilities. There are often many aborted projects because they are more about a dream than reality to begin with. People sometimes assume they can do more than they are truly capable of. There are many would-be artists, musicians, and writers who lack the talent and ability to be commercially viable. There is nothing wrong with a hobby devoted to such pursuits but many start out with higher ambitions and then end up dabbling and living in a kind of fantasy projection of their desires that are not matched by reality. There is a deeper tension and conflict in play with such situations, and that is that as a soul-based being of light, you come from a lofty origin and have a lofty makeup and have had far loftier capabilities than you can muster as a human being in physical form. Therefore, the inner yearnings and the glimmerings of doing great things you might dream about, because they have happened in other times and places, is in stark contrast to the dark energies and heavy dense energetics of the earth plane. This keeps you grounded in more ways than one. It is hard to soar when you are in a primitive state of being with a limited mind and a meager intuitive reach cutting off higher sources of inspiration to a large degree. We prefer to see such abortive plans as an aspect of the truth of human existence, that you are more than you seem, and even if you bite off more than you can chew at times, that appetite is saying something important about you and we always honor you for your energy and passion even if your reach exceeds your grasp.
