I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
Nelson Mandela
Today’s message is from Durga. For those who are not familiar with her, it is said that she eliminates suffering. Does this call to your heart? Are you willing to go the distance?
As always, we continue to watch over you on a daily basis. We hope you accept this as proof.

If you were to make a list of all that you are thankful for, start with recognizing that breathing is tied to Universal Life Force Energy (whether laboured or not), and trust that every single moment of your life is Divine (whether you accept that as truth or not).
Could messages from the archangels or other so-called “ascended masters” be considered evidence of their existence? What would bring you to a point of acknowledgment so that you no longer feared what would occur once this life term comes to a close and you return to the form you knew before this incarnation was planned (with the assistance of archangels and ascended masters, no less)?
As dust is an allergen to many, so is it important to steer clear of that which aggravates you to the extent that you are able. If you cleaned and dusted every day, you would still be living in an environment that is not as pristine as you might think. Does the same not hold true of the mind until it, too, is cleared of irritants that have not yet made their unique gifts known?
Some have made the misassumption that this scribe is a writer, and while she is able to string a sentence together in a way that has meaning and value, what are we to presume if none of our own words have meaning or value to readers who are seeking assistance? That stated, we are here to provide support in ways that promote the individual and collective growth of humanity. This is done at your request. After all, how many times have you asked for Divine guidance and your intuition has stepped to the forefront, clamouring for your attention?
“What does this have to do with Thanksgiving?” some Canadians might be wondering, to which we are choosing to reply with the following:
As your Divinity is held as truth to your soul, so is your heart willing to do the same in return. What are the obstacles that lie between? Are you willing to release them as Mary Magdalene and Maitreya mentioned in a recent post?
Do you understand the nature of good and evil as they are defined and generally accepted? Is doing so not an attempt to divide the soul into pieces and declaring that which is considered acceptable and that which is not? How do you divide your heart if it has been the recipient of ridicule and condemnation by those who refuse to see you clearly? Chances are you wouldn’t, but it might also take some time to relinquish attachment to self-judgment until the time comes when you are willing to listen to your heart, not the cloak it has been wearing as a means of self-protection.
How often do you pray? Have you thought of starting off with all that you consider yourself grateful for? While that is a rhetorical question for many, so is it important for us to remind those who are willing to listen that your heart cannot wear the cloak of rejection or abandonment without wanting to release it.
While it might take some time for inner archetypes to come to terms with what is needed and what is no longer wanted, so is it up to you to determine where you wish to begin recalibrating so that the freedom your heart is desiring is accepted as being far more important than anything an interloper might decide is best. Please think on this for a moment and ask your inner rebel how far it is willing to go to bring you to the helm of your sovereignty and declare it a ship that needs to sail to uncharted waters, full steam ahead.
It has been said that a ship in the harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for. If your soul is your safe harbour, trust that it will not abandon you as you set your sights on a new horizon.
Where are you now in your mind’s eye? Are you seeing a brief glimpse of a previous lifetime when the world seemed flat? How could your inner realm survive without cooperating with those who similarly wish to complete and not compete?
If all that you did today was express your wants and needs authentically—without editing or explaining your reasons for doing so—who would be within your circle to mirror back the areas where slight improvements are needed? Does doing so not bring you closer to your soul in ways that would not occur with those who do not challenge you to rise to the occasion so your sovereignty can become such a mainstay in your life that you no longer need to question it?
It has also been said that the Kingdom of Heaven is within. Remember that the archetype of an inner child will never be the only one who resides there. Do shadow work and make it your mission to reconcile the darkness and the light so that equanimity is not dependent on what others think or say about you, whether to your face or behind your back.
Let your intuition be your steadfast companion alongside your soul. They will always be a part of you, no matter where you stand on the spectrum between darkness and light. Your soul knows this to be broad and deep, just as a foundation of a castle must also be built with integrity in order for it to last.
Tear down the areas in need of rebuilding, and trust that your soul would not wish for you to begin by creating barriers around your heart, for those are the areas reinforced with fear that will eventually cause a fortress to crumble.
Destiny chooses those who are willing to explore. What calls to your heart? Are you willing to listen to the answer?
I Am Durga. Thank you for spending Thanksgiving Monday with me.
Be well.
