I wrote this timeless message in the 20th century. Full text below the audio.
The world needs you now.
More than you know.
More than you can imagine.
The world needs your gifts.
Your heart.
Your compassion.
Your understanding.
Your ability to listen
To speak
To feel
And to act.
The gifts that only you can give,
In the way that you and you alone can give them.
The time for holding back is over.
The time for believing that you are not good enough,
Not ready enough
Not wise enough
Has passed.
The time for fearing that you are too good,
Too powerful
Too magnificent
Too intelligent,
No longer exists.
You have run out of excuses.
You have exhausted every reason why you cannot be
Exactly who you were placed here to be.
Your usual distractions no longer distract.
Your strategies for staying small
For resisting the call to awaken
Are dead.
The world needs you now,
More than you know.
In the Great Circle of Life,
A space has been held for you
Since before Time began.
As you wandered, as you explored,
Your shoes waited, marking your place.
No one else approached,
For these shoes could only be filled by you.
You agreed to step into them when you were ready
To take your rightful place on the Circle.
And now, you are ready.
You are bored with your own self-absorption.
You choke and gag on your endless self-reflection and
Your belly is filled with an urgency
To leave jobs behind and embrace your real Work.
Now, at the exact moment that the world needs you,
You have uncovered and recovered and discovered enough
So that your authentic self can see the light of day.
So that you can step into the shoes that have been
Waiting for you since before time began.
Every moment that you delay,
Widens the hole in the web of existence.
For you are an essential ingredient,
Without which Creation is incomplete.
Global harmony rests in the palm of your hand.
Planetary peace will simply not be attained without
Your heart
Your mind
Your spirit.
The world needs you
And the world needs you now.
More than you know.
More than you can ever imagine.
You are SO welcome, Erika. It’s always wonderful when Creation links us up at the perfect time. Love to You…
