Challenges as Doorways to Higher Consciousness
One way people fail to step into their power is by failing to embrace the challenges and circumstances of their lives. If you refuse to embrace the circumstances, you can't reap their gifts. If you are born into poverty, into a race that is the target of prejudice, or as a sex that is underprivileged in your culture, rejoice. For within these circumstances, you find the seeds of your greatest blessings.

Serving As Guide and Mentor for Your Past Selves
One of the most important steps to creating an advanced future self capable of serving as wise and loving guide for your present moment is to serve as a "future self," for your past selves. By past selves, we mean all those selves who hold fewer understandings than you hold in your present moment.
As you go about learning to mentor younger and less aware aspects of your self, you begin to develop knowledge and skill that will allow you to mentor your self through time. By setting down this framework in your present moment, you learn how to "reach back" in consciousness and assist all your younger aspects. You learn how it is these past aspects can most directly contact you in consciousness and the types of mentoring and assistance you can offer. In time, you will become fluent and adept in this form of "time travel" in consciousness. This is the surest way to ensure that your future self will be able to work with you now – to become within your present moment what you wish to create for your future.
"Reading" the Energy of an Illness
Reading the energy of your physical
creations is a matter of looking at the affected part of the body and
its purpose. If a person manifests diabetes, for example, this has to
do with the pancreas, which is linked with regulating blood sugars.
Sugar is "sweetness," which symbolically reveals a person's
experience of sweetness and joy. Aside from whatever course of
healing is needed, the person diagnosed with diabetes would do well
to also examine issues of sweetness and joy in their life. They might
look at what gives them joy and find more ways to create these
feelings. By setting an intention and following up with the necessary
actions, it is possible to create more "sweetness" in life
experiences.
The feet are yet another "easy read."
Symbolically, your feet are your spiritual foundation. In the
physical life, they are the body's foundation. As above, so below is
a truth to remember when interpreting the symbolic meaning of a
disease. In the case of feet, those who have studied reflexology know
parts of the feet are intricately connected to other parts of the
body. In the same way, your spiritual foundation is linked to every
part of your life experience, mentally, emotionally, physically and
spiritually.
By entering the Portal of Spiritual Manifesting,
you are able to review the recipes of all your physical creations and
read the energy of their symbolic meanings. Once a symbol is grasped
and understood, you have in effect signed off on the "receipt
confirmation" form, and the universe's etheric postal service
will halt its attempts to bring this particular package of physical
illness to your door.
