One in One Thousand

Recently I was listening to a seminar I’d attended many years ago. For every person who answers the call, there are 1,000 who do not. This sentence stood out for me. I have marveled at this my entire career.

When I work on the inner planes setting up classes, sometimes there are tens or hundreds of thousands of souls resonating and coming to drink, to learn. And then I offer a class and 12 sign up. This has even marveled some of my guides. I find it fascinating.

Another early teacher I had shared this with me. Her name was Susie and she said that I’d see many more souls at the energy levels then would come to a class. I didn’t really get it at the time.

It’s rare that I reach out to students to waggle something in front of them, nudge them. But I’ve done it. Only when guided. Only when the energy is so strong and they are showing up in my face or some other way letting me know they want a particular thing. I try not to ever push, only to invite, and allow.

During this seminar I was revisiting, my teacher Sanaya Roman channeling her guide Orin said what I have come to know from my own small view in my work. When someone makes it through the veil and shows up it is cause for celebration. By the time they show up at my door, my students have already created suppleness in their conscious personality. Whatever they may think about themselves, if they make it into a program, often they are one in one thousand or one in ten thousand or more. They are the one who heard the call within, recognized it was for them, and stepped through the doorway. This is honorable.

In my own life, I listen. I say yes as much as I can. I deal with the resistance and fear, the yet to integrate parts of myself, the old beliefs and projections I took on in this and other lifetimes. Sometimes I wonder how many calls I refused or just didn’t recognize, how I justified to myself that it wasn’t actually for me.

I remember early in my career when I was studying with another teacher, when I was learning a form of energy bodywork that was my first foray into energy healing practice. A study mate of mine in the light body work and I both were considering this intensive program. He said to me, “Oh, just tune into the energy. You don’t actually have to take the class.” I remember how out of integrity that seemed. But because I admired him, I found myself considering his authority over mine. But the call was strong. And I borrowed the money that I didn’t have from my mother and signed up. He did not. My growth arc flowed in new ways as I followed that calling. My whole life opened up into this wonderful adventure. And his life took a different trajectory.

My teacher said to me, “He didn’t make it.”

I get it. I now understand it, what she saw, what she meant. But also, how many times had she, or I, or he, or you…how often have we “not made it?” How often have we stepped up and “made it” and how often have we let it pass by?

And is there anything better about answering the call? Does that make you a better soul or human? Somehow more valuable?

It seems to me there will be another doorway when I’m ready. Another opportunity will show up if you let a door close. Yes it will be a different doorway. Yes your life will flow from that choice. But, is there a rush? I don’t think so. A better timing? Maybe, yes. Optimal timing, optimal flows and opportunities to develop our potential, fulfill our intentions and live in the bliss of Purpose.

There is so much to digest and manage as we learn here on Earth. If you are like me and have a soul goal of mastering all levels of being, including human being, it will take the time it takes, the courage, focus and discipline it takes. It seems to me that when the next big calling comes and we are ready, it might take a lot of focus, leaps of faith and courage to say yes. I’ve been feeling that for myself, now. Another big calling that I’ve been wrangling my whole self into a harmonious yes. It feels good now, but it didn’t a couple weeks ago. That fear has transformed into resolution. Finding that yes, the alignment with my Purpose at multiple levels through my continuum was the ticket. That is what has ordered and organized and helped me to clarify, in partnership with my soul and greater consciousness and to find the flow and the yes.
