““Here’s what your soul knows and you forgot: You signed up for this human experience knowing that in this life, you would spend much of your time asleep. In fact, all of us made this choice for ourselves. We agreed we would develop spiritual amnesia and forget that Spirit is the Quintessential Absolute and that we are always a part of Spirit and co-creating with Spirit. We agreed we would get hurt, find happiness, fail, succeed, live, and die. You and I signed up for the whole enchilada. We journeyed away from home, from the Realm of Spirit, to come here. We can’t truly go home again until we shed our bodies, but using our consciousness, we can return to this safe spot and remember everything will be okay—life is just a game, and we agreed to play it.””

Colette Baron Reid
