[THE eXchanger]

This was posted on the most recent "Masters of the Spirit World" website and I found it particularly appropriate and appealing.

All too often we think that getting the various skills will avoid
the actual problems that need to be worked through
--as though getting the skills can be in lieu of the lessons.

QUESTION: I am feeling stuck!
I have done so much work on myself
and still I feel as if I can’t get past my hurdles.
I have learned hypnotherapy, energy work, nutrition, meditation, emotional clearing—and still I struggle to feel whole, healthy, and well.
What do I need to do to finally get it?

ANSWER:

You have been filling up your tool belt to get to work on yourself.
You have, however, forgotten to take the tools out of their storage area
in order to use them to journey forward.

What you see as hurdles are the lessons
which you selected to complete in this lifetime.

The training that you have taken gives you the means of recognizing, working on, and gaining the knowledge of these lessons,
but thinking you can stop there is a common but incorrect belief.

Just taking the courses to get the information is insufficient.

To use the qualities of the energy work
you have studied for your soul’s growth, you have to apply a formula.

Step one is to identify the desired knowledge (lesson)
that is creating your hurdle.

Step two is to see which of your tools will enable you to work through
that particular situation.

Step three is doing the work.

Step four is completing the lesson.

Step five is spending the time to understand why
you had chosen to undertake that lesson
and what you actually learned about yourself from that experience.

And step six is turning that knowledge into wisdom
so that you need never choose to do the lesson again.
