                          3/13/09:  Endurance list of previous blogs
(The following blog is a sharing  of  my personal channeling, my daily connection with Spirit *.  Over the years I have channeled into notebooks tens and tens of  thousands of words from Spirit,who offer insights on a variety of subjects.  I believe it is time to begin to share these messages with others.   The best answer I ever heard for the possibility that a creative part of myself is simply making these responses up is the answer God gives Neil Donald Walsh in his first book of the Conversations with God series.  At one point Neil says to God [paraphrasing] "What if I am just making these answers your are giving me up?" God says, direct quote, "So What?"  God then goes on to suggest, now I am really paraphasing big time, that even if the responses are coming from Neil's creative or Higher Self, isn't that a wonderful thing, aren't they great responses and might not that which I AM be assisting that to happen anyway?  I totally embrace that perspective.  So  If you can allow yourself to take what you need and leave the rest aside, you might find yourself being eustressed by what Spirit offers. )
 (*Note: I accept  the name "Spirit" as a group name for a dynamic changing body of entities, as likened to the Abraham of Esther and Jerry Hicks, entities that might be drawn to respond by an interest  in a particular topic.)

Me: Good evenung, Spirit.
Spirit: Good evening, Marti.
Me: I would like to ask more about the way in which I can generate money. First, does my economic well-being depend on that of the country's?  Second, what is it I need to add to what I'm doing to get into the flow, so to speak? I say, for instance, that I want to finish my writing projects, but that doesn't happen.  Is there something that will trigger persistence until I'm successful?  Will you say something about what's going on with me?
Spirit: We will be glad to speak to your  concern's.  In the first instance, we feel not only is your personal economic well-being NOT dependent on your country's, the reverse is true.  As your incoming wealth grows, this action triggers the quickening of that action in others' income.   Financial success, like all positive actions, sets in motion more of the same.  We can not state this strongly enough.  If you are not being selfish or hurting others to make economic gains, you are contributing to the positive collective consciousness of all as regards wealth.
The second question at first notice seems very specific to your situation, but we are aware that our messages are now being shared.  Thus, although it does not alter our perspective, we shall answer in such a way that others might apply these notions to their own situations if they chose.
You speak of, and have spoken to us before, of wanting to have persistence, over an elongated period of time, that you may bring to fruition your writing projects.  You claim to have confidence these writings will be accepted by publishers and readers alike and will therefore generate economic rewards and a modicum of recognition.  You question why, therefore, you can not sustain your attention to these projects, even seem to be using energy to avoid them.
We say to you, you are correct in all you describe.   Persistence is, indeed,  the thing to be added.  We agree that your skills and subject matter are most appropriate to what you intend.  Most of the time people DO know consciously or subconsciously what would be the best thing for them to do in the circumstances, based on their awareness of their abilities and experiences.  We add that each entity has incarnated with a general plan built on DNA, and dreams and desires.  Each plan conforms to the whole plan of the universe.  That which is in the entity's best interest IS the universe's best interest.  We would like to gently tease you, Marti, and say that therefore persistence should be naturally forthcoming out of your purpose, a feeling of going down the right path and an excitement in knowing you are truly doing the right thing at the right time.  You do not seem to be able to garner endurance out of that knowledge, for we have assured you of this before.  So therefore we offer to you these suggestions.  In order to have endurance, the persistance you crave, it will be necessary for you to do the reverse, to let go of your need to take this process seriously.  We do not mean to trivialize your situation, but we ask you to lighten up, as it were.  If you are truly interested in serving makind by providing information, entertainment, what have you, the world and yourself will benefit not one bit by your sitting around feeling guilty.  Writing this blog is a great example of an alternate to the guilt.  It may even stimulate you to persue the writing projects.  This is your volunteering in kind that may trigger the other writing which in turn will generate income.  Be that as it may, we say YOU HAVE NOT ASKED FOR IT!  If endurance is what is missing and we believe it is, why are you not desiring it as deeply you desire the outcome of it?  You have said to us you want to know how to get it.  You have not said to help install or uncover it.  We obey the laws of the universe.  We can not help you uncover It unless you get a little more open and begin to request it.  You want endurance?  Ask and it shall be given you.  You have always asked about persistence.  You have never asked for it.  If we are a network of beings devoted to assisting mankind, surely we can help you more directly and immediately to  begin to wake up to this quality, to know that it is flowing within, long before persistence would be proven down the path.  But we have no permission unless our help is directly requested.  We can influence a bit, which we have been doing over time based on your questioning.  Are you now willing to ask directly for our help?
Me: Yes I am, Spirit.  Please help me uncover my natural persistence as applied directly to writing.
Spirit: So be it.
Me: Will I feel it soon and know I will stay with it?
Spirit: Yes and we ask that you be honest in these blogs with us as to whether you do feel the change, for the sake of others who may benefit fro you truthfulness.
Me: I will, Spirit and thank you.
Spirit:GBlessings and good evening.
