When it meets with resistance it gently explores alternate routes around the obstacle - it may spread out and form a small pond or a large lake and then find a new path before it continues on its' way.
While in the pond or lake, the water is given an opportunity to explore many avenues of possibilities, when it reaches the point of release, it is able to continues to flow again. When you symbolically compare your life to the stream of water, you can see how much easier it will be for you to allow your life to flow in the direction of least resistance in following your divine plan. This plan was set up before you began your physical incarnation. You agreed to this incarnation into the physical, and you were most joyous that you would have the opportunity to enter a mortal body and you were anxious to begin.
In this comparison of your life to the stream of water, you can see how much easier it will be for you to allow yourself to flow in the direction of least resistance. By "least resistance" we mean that you follow your natural intuitive insights which you have been given as a compass to guide your life. Learning to flow these intuitive insights and guidance allows you to make choices that will bring you much quicker into that which are seeking. For your desires were embedded within your soul at your initial creation, which is in the image of Love. These desires abide within the soul which reside in the Heart of the sacred, located slightly behind and to the right of the physical heart.
It is important for you to remember the point of least resistance in no way refers to a life with no challenges or obstacles. There will still be many challenges in all areas of your life that will ground you -- that will challenge you and stop your flow down the river. You will need to take time while you allows enough time, space, and whatever experiences you need to raise you back up and set you back into the center of the stream of your life.
There may be times that your river will twist and turn like a snake or it may weave intricate patterns in the soil as it flows by -- it may pick up lots of sand and rocks and be muddied -- or it may find a nice bed of rocks that will still create friction for you. Friction is what creates diamonds, and you are all diamonds in the rough.
It is important to be still and be patient with yourself, this will allow your mind and body to catch up with what is to be learned and uploaded from your soul. When you are in the middle of what appears to be a crisis, it is good for you to spend time outside in nature. You can garden, go swimming, walking, hiking, or perhaps you will be able to go on a retreat or a vacation. It really doesn't matter as far as time or where or how, it is only important that you do things that revitalize your mind, your body and your soul. That is what is GOOD FOR YOU.
We know there are many of you who think that you must struggle with determination and go against the stream. We want you to know that this is not so -- this will only delay and frustrate you. We understand that there will be times that you follow your God feelings and end up in a place you never imagined you'd be in the whole of your life. It is OK to feel the frustrations of such choices. However, from our point of view here are not wrong choices, even failure to chose will lead you to your destination, for eventually you will find that flowing with the Universe is easier and much happier than and will lead you to your destination. There is no one that will be able to outrun their destiny, nor would you want to if you knew what was at the end of your journey. You would want to embrace it with all that you are and in the end you will BE FULL.
When you listen to your inner voices -- you tune into the Divine, it is there you will know that life is a journey and was intended to be filled with Love, Hope, Faith, Joy, and peace. When you strive to go against these Eternal Laws -- you will be discouraged -- side-tracked -- lost -- and bewildered.
Look around you dear ones, and read and study those whom you know to be able to manifest all that they desire. They will all speak to you of the way of "being" is much simpler, kinder and easier than forcing, manipulating,m or coercing circumstances and situations ever could be.
Force breaks even the strongest timbers -- it breaks the most dedicated will -- it tumbles and crumples it to the earth and is as dross.
As you learn to surrender to that which is, always has been and always will be, you are ready to be taught all the secrets and mysteries of the Universe. You are ready to allow the Divine to enter your life and animate all of your thoughts and desires and bring them into manifestation.
Your life will turn on a dime and you will never be the same -- nor would you want to be -- you will especially wonder why you didn't chose to surrender much sooner, however, it is only important that you chose to surrender at any point that it happens.
Oh, the Ego plays so many tricks with your mind -- you will learn to appreciate and to laugh at all you used to hold dear when you allow new truths to be revealed to you and set you free!
