As you talked, you were able to uncover one area that does indeed, need to be brought to the [[light]] and [[healed]]. You think of yourself as being less able to [[compete]] on an [[intellectual]] level with your [[brothers and sisters]] that have had the [[opportunity]] of gaining a formal [[education]] and have received their piece of paper indicating that they have indeed put in the hours. Recognize JoiLin, that those hours we refer to are under the heading of formal education, and that piece of paper, a formal piece of paper, indicative of those hours spent working toward the degree. [[Life|Living]] itself, is an [[education]] child, as well, you have always been an avid [[reader]] with a wide range of interests. Give yourself some credit for the [[knowledge]] you have [[attained]] on your own. And give yourself some credit here as well; you do not [[feel]] insecure with all of your [[siblings]] who have that formal piece of paper, it is only some few. If we look a bit deeper, you may be able to [[recognize]] that it really has naught to do with that piece of paper; it has more to do with [[personality]] [[conflicts]]. You will remember in our [[conversation]] yesterday when I spoke of difficulties a [[person]] [[experiences]] in one area that are [[echoed]] in or are manifested in another area? I believe this is true for you in this case. Look at the people you know that have their degrees, but with whom you are quite comfortable. If this were truly a [[problem]] of your [[feeling]] inadequate when in the [[presence]] of someone with a [[degree]], this pattern would hold true within all of your [[relationships]]. And so, we think the difficulty lies more in the direction of the [[individual]], and [[conflicts]] between you and your sibling that need to be worked on. Can you think of any other pattern or incident wherein as a child you were made to feel small or insignificant?

JoiLin: Yes, I think they mostly had to do with the way I felt about how I looked. My [[friends]] all had pretty [[clothes]], they all began the school year with a whole new wardrobe, and my clothes were mostly hand-me-downs or from a consignment store. I remember one year when my dresses were all too short, and they called me Alice in wonderland; I knew it was not meant as a compliment. In addition to new clothes, they all wore make-up and I didn’t have any…. my mother wouldn’t even let me wear it if I had any.

JoiLin: Insignificant, I guess. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Match_Girl Poor Little Match Girl syndrome], I suppose. Maybe I felt sorry for myself as well. I knew I wasn’t as pretty as they were, but I also knew it had mostly to do with all of the [[feminine]] trappings they had, it had more to do with the [[clothes]] they wore, the make-up they applied, and they way they had their hair cut and styled.

This has been due to your hard work JoiLin. This is due to your [[committed]] walk with [[the Father]]. Give yourself credit, each and every time you come to recognize the [[successes]], the [[positive]] changes you have made, and child there have been many. Look for them. [[Recognize]] them, and benefit from that recognition, by seeing the light you are [[becoming]].

We appreciate your making the attempt to move beyond your present wall of fear. Continue to take that faith step child and you will soon find yourself again amid the sun, you will find yourself once again full of confidence in both the future and your own abilities. Trust us JoiLin, you will get through this, and when you do you will struggle with these doubts no more, at least not at this level.

Let us pick up on the lesson I wished to impart last evening at your group meeting, although as you can see, you were indeed given a lesson of much merit. Not hearing my words last evening did not cause your group to suffer any loss! Do not put that layer of self-reproach upon yourself, as it is entirely unnecessary.

The farmer, when he plows his fields turns over the earth, exposing new soil, soil that has not been used in the last planting. As well, does he add back to the earth the debris left over from the harvest, and by so doing, enriches the soil. Now, the newly exposed soil is rich in nutrients and ready to sustain the new crop while the old soil, being depleted, is once again going back to the earth as a means of restoring nutritional balance. So the dead, the old, gives itself back to that from which it sprang, thereby ensuring the continuation of the life cycle. All of life has within it the seeds to carry it further…. the seeds of creation lie hidden within the life vehicles of all living organisms.

You, as a will creature, have even more potential, as you do not just have the seeds of propagation, but you have the seeds of divinity as well! Think of it…. you are both mortal, and divine! You are all beginning to show signs of a desire to know where your responsibility lies, if any, toward this divine gift of the Father, that lies within. There is no easy answer, the best answer I can give you is this: your responsibility is whatever you make it to be, whatever you accept as your responsibility.

The greatest gift given to humankind by the Father in addition to the gift of Himself was the gift of free will choice. It is this gift that makes all of your life such an incredible adventure! Were it not for your ability to choose, life would indeed, become dull with very little joy or discovery; it would no longer be such an adventure.

You are [[feeling]] as it this is all just [[rhetoric]], with no [[design]]. Turn up the [[contrast]] on the screen child and see that it does indeed have a recognizable [[flow]] from one [[thought]] into the next. There, you see? Letting go and simply letting be what will, is the easiest way I know to let this [[communication]] evolve. If for instance, you had felt [[secure]] enough last evening to take a deep [[breath]], and pretend that it was just us, at [[home]] here, where you feel safe, you might have been able to get over this last impediment to your development as a receiver. This is not [[criticism]] child, as you well know, I would simply help you to see that the end is in [[sight]]. You have but to, as you say on this world, bite the bullet!

If you have the time later in the day, try to sit for a few moments at the recorder and let us work together again; this moving between the computer and the recorder will help to strengthen our connection. Go child into your day knowing that you are indeed in His watch care, and have many that would assist you as you reach further into His light. Shalom.
