"Honoring the Eternal in Us All" 
The Voice - A Spiritual Inspiration Story
Introduction:
The following is an inspirational story crafted as Spiritual Sci-Fi. I wrote it over a period of a year from mid 1995, well into 1996. I was possessed at the time, with this story of course … well this one among others. For almost three years I had been writing parables and fables as "teaching stories" to pass on important psychological and spiritual principles, which I had been exposed to over the years through spiritual / psychological writings and my work as a therapist.
This is quite an experience, to watch a book like this grow. I never knew from one session to another where We were going with this Inspiration Story. I say "We" because I wrote it with Him you see - yes, the Great Creator, God, All-That-Is. He is "The Voice" after all and He wrote this story through me.
Oh yes, it’s my book too; I take both credit and responsibility for its shape here now. After the initial "Cosmic Download," I polished the work and did the editing. Along the way, I also struggled with many of the concepts presented, as I expect you will. I eventually came to terms with these as best I could. That’s probably why it took over nine years to get the book to where I can present it to you here.
Writing such a book can be quite a challenge personally. Throughout the process, certain concepts would strike me deeply, forcing me to open up beyond my comfort zone, so that I could fully realize their message. This proved to be both exhilarating and painful. Opening up makes us vulnerable to the slings and arrows of critics, but is necessary for new learning to occur. Times of change are always painful like this, for us personally and for the society in which we live. In either case, there is never a shortage of critics to assail what’s trying to be born.
There are individuals you see, who don’t want to hear messages that require change in their lives. They don’t want their precious precepts about life and their place in the world to be challenged. So they pounce when they hear something contradictory to the established norm. This is the Old Guard, always ready to counter anything that smacks of change, even if it’s for the better. But there is change occurring right now, around the World. Yes, change is the new World order.
But it’s hard getting there, isn’t it? It’s hard to let go of all that pain that we’ve accumulated along the road of our lives and that keeps us separated from He. That’s the part we are working on, right? We are "The Healing Generation." We are the ones exposing old wounds so they can be healed; the ones delving into our family dynamics; the ones going to AA and attending spiritual and personal growth seminars; the ones reading all those Self-Help books, so we can grow out of this morass we came into.
Our families of origin hurt us; and we know they didn’t mean it. They were just passing on what was given to them. But we, the current generation, decided it’s time to put an end to all this, to put a stop to passing on this hand-me-down suffering. We don’t want our children to respond to the World in the same way we had to growing up. We don’t want them to accumulate any of our baggage.
This is "Conscious Evolution" as I see it. It is conscious, because we are choosing not to be part of that Victim mentality anymore. It is conscious, because we realize we have to pace ourselves through our sorrows in order to be done with them. We are learning about healing and passing that on instead, which brings us to our thesis.
I believe that the Soul is eternal. I believe that we, as Souls, are here to learn lessons in order to grow. Growth is the main reason we are here on this Earth. I believe that our purpose in life is determined by Him and Us together, and then becomes our Life Imprint. And I believe that we have a choice, to live that purpose, or abandon it altogether.
What is this book, The Voice, about? A group of Souls, as individuals, come together to learn lessons about Life, Love and Purpose. They have chosen to do so. These individuals are set to go through a training program, during which they grow together as an extended family of sorts. They challenge and support each other through their process of training in anticipation of a greater purpose which they had all agreed upon, prior to incarnating.
In "The Voice" our cast of characters learns that the human individual’s common enemy is Fear. Fear is the greatest detractor to growth. It causes humans to retreat. Our characters go through a "cleansing" process so they can heal any remaining impediments to their growth by dealing with that fear in all of its forms. They have chosen to evolve to their full potential and they have chosen this particular set of circumstances in which to do so.
How was this book written? As mentioned above, The Voice wrote this book through me. I’ve come to terms with that. As my Higher Self, He speaks through me whenever I invite Him, that is, when I open myself and access that part of me, which is my Source. The Voice lives inside all of us and is able to surface as we embrace our Self and our Soul. He is there waiting for us to "Choose" to let Him through.
What does He, as The Voice, want this book to accomplish? He wants this story to reach You, to help You open to Your Divine Nature, to access and express Your capacity for Love and Forbearance. He wants you and I to reach out to others in the same vein, to help them open to their Divine Nature and so on. Why? So He can see Himself manifested in every one of us, as a gardener watching his plants come to full maturity. I believe He wants each of us to reach and creatively express the fullest of our capabilities in this particular lifetime.
To sum up, this is a Growth book. The main thrust of the story is about coming to terms with who we are at a Soul level. It’s a book about what He wants for us and how He chooses to express Himself through us. It’s about He and us working together as Co-Creators, expressing all that we have creatively. It’s about His creativity in us and our creativity expressed as Life on this Earth. He is growing too, you see. As we grow through our challenges, so does He.
So, are you ready for your consciousness to evolve? Are you ready to receive and express your gifts of Love and Creativity? Then step up and reach for your portion of His Love and Commitment to us all. He’ll show you what you need. He’ll take you wherever you feel "inspired" to go. All He asks is for your commitment to Him. He is that Divine part of you after all and your commitment to Him is your commitment to your Self. How difficult can this be? Let’s read on and find out, shall we.
