Very helpful. If at some point you are inclined, and/or if within the scope of what you do here, would you mind touching on two topics please: laziness, and how to protect an open heart in a world where there is hurt?

Hello beesliketoplay.

We would help you, but we aren't feeling very motivated to do so at this time.

Yes, we will touch upon these subjects for you. We thank you for bringing up two very poignant areas of concern for many entities in your Earth plane.

Determining what constitutes "laziness" is often tricky for most humans to do. As we are certain that you are aware, most of you believe very strongly in "hard work," a massively popular concept in your world, and we see that this concept is mostly problematic for your species, in that it usually denotes struggle, worries about survival and doing work that is not very enjoyable.

Quite often humans feel guilt and resistance around the idea of taking an easy approach to things, whether it be goal-setting, problem-solving or building or creating something, for your human society in general is very suspicious and distrusting of taking paths of least resistance.

If it doesn't have struggle, then it isn't real, many of you feel. "Anything worth attaining is worth struggling for," is a mantra in the collective human consciousness. From the perspective of your Higher Self, this belief doesn't make sense, for it is understood that there are many things that you attain that you do not struggle for.

For example, most of you do not struggle to breathe. Your lungs do not struggle for air. Oxygen is in abundance in your world. Each breathe that you attain is a gift to your mind/body system. You do not struggle to move or shift from one moment to the next. Time flows easily for you in your dimension. You do not struggle to attain a new now-moment, each moment being a fresh and new opportunity to allow more joy into your life experience.

None of you ever believe, "It is a challenge moving through time and space. This is really difficult!" None of you ever say to another, "You are lazy to think that you can just move through time so effortlessly."

Simple gifts such as breathing air and flowing effortlessly through time are very often overlooked by human entities in your world. They are generally not appreciated as being miracles in their own right.

Those of you who do not understand or appreciate the constancy and simplicity of universal laws, such as the "law of attraction," often perceive those around you who may manifest or attain certain things without struggle--who may even physically do very little--to be "lazy" [often perceiving them to be "lucky" as well].

The lower ego's ideas about laziness are generally off the mark. Jealousy is very often active in its perception, particularly in regards to the above example that we gave in which someone may appear to receive a blessing without having to struggle or "work hard" for it.

True laziness, if there is such a thing, is simply allowing fear-based thinking to dominate your awareness. At its worse, it is a stubborn and persistent negative focus of attention where one refuses to find a way to feel better, instead choosing to be "right." That is how we would define laziness.

Many so-called "highly productive" people are in fact quite lazy, according to this understanding of laziness. One may be a "hard worker" in a worldly sense and simultaneously be quite lazy in the department of spiritual growth. One may appear to the world at large to "get things done," yet may at the same time essentially achieve nothing of great spiritual value.

We encourage you to look beyond your species' typical definitions and perspectives of "laziness" if you truly want to understand what it is in a very high way. It is never lazy to genuinely look for an easier way, a happier way to accomplish something, bearing in mind that true accomplishment is about enjoying the journey, not in arriving at a "final destination" of eternal bliss or enlightenment.

Laziness always involves fear and guilt, even when the entity who is lazy may be largely unaware of his/her own inner feelings of fear and guilt. Now, not one of you "is" lazy, in the sense that laziness is not what you are. You may express laziness, but you cannot literally "be" completely lazy or 100% lazy, for you are multidimensional souls that experience simultaneous realities all at once.

Our interpreter's energy field needs recharging at this time. He will be ready in a day or two to attend to your second question. Please forgive his abhorrent laziness.

However, most importantly, your Higher Self is on standby to directly answer your own questions, of course, whenever you are in a relaxed receptive mode to receive its transmissions in the quiet space of your heart.

We love you. We appreciate your kind and pleasant manner. You are in possession of great love and wisdom. You are by no means a stranger to compassion, our friend.

We are complete.
