The Melody of your Experience

The following text is channeled material. The author, my guide, has the name Ophir. This text was channeled on March 26, 2021.  

Each of you who comes to human life comes with an intention to grow, to experience, to feel, to become part of the play, to step on the stage, to give voice to an expression of and a discovery of yourself. It is through expressing yourself that you discover yourself. 

One way to discover more about yourself is to feel more of your connection with others. Notice the wide range of feelings you encounter from day to day that you share with other people. This recognition of shared experiences and shared emotions can become the basis upon which you can feel the connection  you have with everyone and with all life. All people and all life forms share common aspirations: the desire to love and be loved, to feel joy, to share joy, to make a contribution to the collective creation that earth life represents. 

You will find your path through life seems at times to be indirect. But that is the most edifying kind of path to have. Who wants to go straight from point A to point B when it is possible to wander and discover and to grow and learn as the many possibilities that exist between A and B present themselves? You will find that your life does not follow a straight line, but rather meanders through the field of possibilities in the same way that one would stroll through a beautiful garden, braced by the beauty of what’s visible, feeling the richness of human senses of sight and sound and smell and touch. 

You can learn to stop from time to time to bend over and look more closely, to really see deeply the shape of a blade of grass. Notice all the varied individual and unique patterns created by nature, which is so full of exuberance. 

Practice staying in the present, focusing with great attention on the particulars of each moment, whether it be a moment of sunshine or a moment of rain, a moment of cold or a moment of warmth, a moment of wind or a moment of stillness, a moment of happiness or a moment of despair. All these notes combine to make the melody of your experience. The experience that you have is unique. It is both the manifestation of and the acknowledgment of your individuality.  As you grow you will learn how your individual experience is like the individual blossom of a flower placed in the Divine landscape.
