The Family Meeting

My family was having a meeting and summoned me to attend. I was nervous as I did not know what to expect. It was not like any regular meeting where the family gathers together to eat, fight, cry, and love, it was one called for by my departed relatives. My grandmother, the matriarch, gathered with all of her children and grandchildren who were with her in the non-physical. They were welcoming new members, my two cousins who had recently crossed over. Everyone seemed quite excited, well except me, I did not feel like being there.

After the loud chatter subsided, she looked at me and said, “Well, my child, your work is now beginning”. She tasked me with the responsibility of helping the younger members of my extended family in finding their soul purpose.

I was shocked, I wasn’t expecting such a responsibility and the first thing I blurted was that I did not have the resources for such a job.

They all sighed loudly and my cousin, the newest entrant, smiled, looked at me, and promised that she would be responsible for helping me to fulfill our ancestors' wishes.
I felt like they were a bit disappointed in me because they knew I should have known better, I was being prepared for this moment for some time now.

How many times have I written about the abundant blessings of the universe and our only having to ask, align ourselves, and take advantage of the opportunities as they turn up?

When we discover our soul purpose and begin moving towards it, it is then that things begin to line up for us. Often we sit and marvel at the unfolding, seeing thoughts turn to things right before our eyes, and now here I was, at such an important family gathering and only managed to be my human self, channeling my lack mentality, breaking down and chatting crap.

And as in life, many of us know what we ought to do to be happy and abundant.

We have read all the books and watched all the videos,
We have established a meditative practice and gone on many retreats,
We have mastered the art of prayer and fasting,
We have communed with our ancestors and spirit guides,
We have made the connection of our Inner Being to Universal Source,

But when we are placed under the spotlight, we crack and chat crap.

I admit this spotlight was a bit unusual, it is not every day that we are summoned by our deceased relatives and given such a huge responsibility, but still.

Have you ever been summoned and tasked? How hot was the seat?
