Today we would like to talk about needs, and how they relate to spiritual growth and to the wellbeing of your physiology.   There is often confusion knowing the difference between wants and needs and it is important to understand and to fulfill certain needs to live a healthy happy life.  Many of you struggle with the emotions of dealing with unfulfilled lives because of the circumstances of your current life station or your perceived lack of opportunity.  There is much that you can do to bring balance and joy into your life by identifying real needs and prioritizing healthy desires.

Basic needs are things that are necessary for life, such as healthy food, clean water, and shelter from environment.  Without these basic needs, physical life is not possible.  To be whole, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, there are vital needs that should be met.  All sentient beings need to be loved and to express love—companionship—friends, lovers, family—God.  When these needs are not met, the individual is not whole or healthy and there are many on your world in need of love my friends.  The greed of the profit driven world has indentured many of you to live lives dedicated to fulfilling basic needs (food, water, shelter), while leaving little opportunity or time for the pursuit of the things that make you whole (to love and to be loved).

Those that are spiritually aware (God knowing) are fulfilling the need to love and to be loved at the soul level, while those who are spiritually unconscious seek this same soul need but often substitute this need with material pursuits, unhealthy relationships, or destructive vices.  All roads lead to Source, my friends, and even if you take the wrong road, or keep turning away from it, sooner or later, all those left turns in life will bring you back to Source—the wellspring of all love in the universes.

If you are searching for that which makes you whole—to love and to be loved, go to the Source of love, my friends, and ask for what you need.  If it is a companion, a friend, a lover, a kindred spirit, or that personal relationship with deity, make that desire known to God, and in faith, believe that your healthy needs will be met.  It is the intention and desire of the Creator that you have these needs met and it is His priority to lead you down the path to know love and to seek light.

Therefore, if all your efforts and methods for finding love have failed, try going into your room and close the door, open your soul to the Father of love and sincerely ask for that love to come into your life.  This is one request that is sure to be answered, because it is a soul sustaining need and because He loves you unconditionally.  He knows that however you find love, share love, and receive love, that love is the highway that leads to eternal life—even for the spiritually disconnected individual who only experiences love through another person, that same love is coming from Source through them and through those they love.  Somewhere in time and eternity, love will lead you home.  “Ask and you shall receive.”

Peace to you,
