Are All Challenges Chosen Prior to Birth? ∞Thymus: The Collective of Ascended Masters, Channeled by Daniel Scranton
“We are Thymus. We are the collective of ascended masters.
We understand that at times in your lives, you feel that the challenges in front of you are challenges you never would have chosen. And it is true that the ‘you’ that you are in that very moment would not consciously choose that challenge or those challenges. But as a soul, you see the bigger picture, and you can see how the little you is going to grow, expand, evolve, and become more of the true self by meeting that challenge.
This is one of the ways people try to talk themselves out of the truth that they are the creator of their reality. It is by looking at their reality and saying, ‘There's no way I would create this.’ Sometimes, it is also true that you are creating in a very unconscious way. You are not deliberately creating the challenge, but you are creating it nonetheless through the words, thoughts, beliefs, actions, and feelings that you are regularly entertaining in your being-ness. Usually, the challenge you are facing that is unwanted will echo back to those thoughts, words, actions, beliefs, and feelings.
And when you find the connection between them, then you can recognize that this was a creation of yours and one that you took part in without realizing you were doing it. Now how do you grow from the challenge? You look for the opportunity for growth. You look for an opportunity to change something about yourself, something you're thinking, something you've been feeling. You start by accepting your own creation as it is, and then you wonder, ‘How does this serve me?’ ‘How am I supposed to grow through this?’
Because you are and because you can, and when you do, you can look back at the challenge and see it as a blessing because it helped you in ways that you weren't looking to be helped. It helped you to grow, to become, to make peace with something, to let go of something, to repair a relationship. There are all kinds of ways that you all present yourselves with to move beyond where you currently are, and the more consciously you do it, the better it will feel.
So what you want to do is to challenge yourselves consciously to become more of who you really are, to love more unconditionally, to feel more of that unity consciousness, that truth of who you really are. You want to challenge yourself to become a better person, a better partner, a better family member to your family members, And, yes, perhaps even a better employee, a better citizen, because those challenges will be met without you having to be blindsided by something, and no one likes to be blindsided.
Look for the opportunities that are in your life right now for growth, for expansion, to become, in the flesh, more of the Source Energy being that you are. And you will find those opportunities. And when you act upon them, you will feel more empowered and less like a victim. You will feel that you are the creator of your reality because you will have faced the challenge with your eyes and arms wide open. You are all growing, evolving, and expanding. It's just a question of how and when, and you can do it joyously. We know that you can, and we know that some of you do, and you have our full support either way.
That is all for now. We are Thymus. We are the collective of ascended masters, and we are always amongst you.”
