Expectations – A Lighthouse for the Soul

Rob: All right, Yeshua, so how do we let go of whatever from the past that we were holding on to, if it doesn’t carry forward into the new? I think we find ourselves in positions of having to let go of things that we perhaps didn’t know we needed to, so how do we do that? How do we carry on with life, not knowing what to expect next?

Yeshua: Hello again, Rob. It is always a pleasure to come visit with you in this way, or in any way you choose, for that matter. As you know so well, we are always here for you.

So whether you understand it completely or not, I think you’ve stated the answer to your own question. You’re asking, how do you proceed in life, not knowing what you necessarily need to let go of. The first point is you recognize completely that not everything in your life up to this point is important to carry on into what comes next.

So in that regard, half the battle is won. You recognize that there are things that you are going to leave behind, but this should not be viewed with any sense of sadness, of depression, of melancholy. These are things that are simply not needed anymore.

Yes, they might have held some sentimental value, if I could use that word, something that you thought was important in the past and even in the recent past. But if it’s no longer necessary, then why would you choose to carry it forward?

So you had stated you’re not sure of what to let go. Well, that’s just it. As it becomes clear to you that this is no longer necessary, that it no longer serves the purpose that you thought it once held, then simply let it go you.

You have this vision, Rob, of carrying around a heavy suitcase, a bag filled with contents that you don’t need for the trip you are taking. Why are you carrying it? Set it down. Just let it go.

It should not carry sadness with it. If you don’t need it, then why would you be sad about leaving it behind? It just is what it is. It’s something that is no longer needed.

That’s not to say others don’t need it, whatever that object or belief might be. But for you, for where you are at this moment, simply ask yourself, “Is this necessary? Why am I holding on to it? What is my belief behind this that makes me think that I should be carrying this. Is it a belief in how others should act?”

You are coming to the realization each and every day, Rob, that any expectations you have about how others should act is not altogether a fruitful exercise. You very often find that they don’t meet your expectations, but they’re exactly that: YOUR expectations. And it has very little to do with the other person or persons.

[Here’s some encouragement from the Mother on this Easter Sunday. Enjoy! i hope it helps; it certainly was helpful to me! — Rob]

Mother Mary: This is Mother Mary.

Rob was going into this somewhat resistant, feeling that anything that he hears would somehow be me hollering at him for not doing what he should be doing. No. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is no such thing as Me, or the Father or anyone from the Council or anywhere else on this side, chastising you for having done or not done something that you feel is part of your plan.

My plan is for the collective of humanity to take that step forward, to make that transition to what is new, what is coming, what is well on the way, and from our perspective, already here.

[Regarding] your questions about, “What am I to do next? Am I doing enough?”, of course, you are. You, perhaps, have no idea what impact you are having in teaching a particular class. Every heart you touch, every mind you expand, one at a time, expands exponentially beyond that — yes, over a little bit of time, but that’s not for you to worry about.

Every conversation you have with somebody else in the family, amongst your friends, reaching out through your social media, to just touch someone’s heart and say, “I hear you, I see you, I appreciate you.” That’s all that is required. That’s all that we expect, for every one of those actions has a significant impact on the overall vibration, as you call it, of the collective of humanity. The ripples start and they expand, ever growing, and touch so much more than you understand.

So I would suggest [to] give yourself a break. Do what you can in your own sphere, for wherever you are at the moment. If you’re not feeling up to a particular task, touch those that are around you, whom you see right now, before you. And when you ARE feeling up to expanding beyond that, do so because you are moved.

Rob, you are feeling that this time for you IS a time of new beginnings. It IS a time of transition. What happens in the next month, perhaps several months, marks a period of stepping out further and expanding your influence to those that you have felt, perhaps, up to this point have been off limits.
