Assertiveness for Earth Angels: How to Be Loving Instead of Too Nice Read Online Free Page A

scurrying to compete and earn money.
    Now let’s take a deep breath and let all that energy go as we focus upon heaven. In contrast to Earth’s materially competitive focus, in heaven every need is automatically met. There’s no physical body, so there’s no competition for food or jobs.
    There’s no competition in heaven, because there are no needs. No one needs money, houses, cars, prestige, or employment. So no one tricks or manipulates you. Why would they, when there’s nothing to gain? Besides, all truth is palpable and apparent in heaven, so there’s no way to deceive others.
    In heaven, everyone feels supported and respected for who they are. Kindness and consideration prevail, and there’s infinite patience. Everyone behaves lovingly toward everyone else, as most people have reached the spiritual realization of oneness, so they know that how they treat others is actually how they’re treating themselves.
    Imagine . . .
    Take a moment to imagine feeling completely loved and honored. There’s no sense of having to prove yourself. You know you’re lovable, just as everyone is. Experience this warm feeling of complete love in your heart, and let that warmth radiate throughout your body .
    Imagine what it’s like to trust everyone you meet, and feel relaxed and safe in their presence. You know that all whom you encounter have their hearts open and are acutely aware of oneness. So they won’t do anything mean, because they know that this would only be an act of meanness toward themselves .
    Imagine being where everyone is happy and healthy. Where the sun always shines, and it’s just the right temperature. Imagine flowers and birds and trees in a perpetual springtime . . . .
    You’re seeing and feeling heaven.

    So there you are in heaven, relaxing and doing your work and feeling so good because you are entirely loved. And then one day recruiters arrive, asking you to return to Earth for a very important mission that only you can fulfill. At first you balk at their request. After all, the last time you were on Earth, people weren’t that nice to you.
    You recall past lifetimes when you were also an Earth Angel. And throughout history, Earth Angels, with their spiritual gifts of healing and teaching, have often been misunderstood. In fact, there was at least one lifetime when you were accused of witchcraft because of your spiritual healing gifts. You were persecuted, and your death was not easy.
    So when the recruiters are asking you to return to Earth, you’re not excited about the prospect. You inquire whether you can simply send prayers and guidance to earthly people from your heavenly vantage point.
    The recruiters bow their heads and sigh. They explain to you that people often don’t listen to their guides or angels. They say that Earth Angels are needed in human bodies, because people only listen to other people.
    The recruiters show you how you can benefit by going to Earth. After all, Earth gives you the opportunity to learn and grow and heal any fears that you held previously. On this plane you have the opportunity to feel deeply both physically and emotionally. You also have the experience of duality, where you get to encounter the darkness and the light.
    Besides, the recruiters explain, they need you on Earth. They need you to guide people who aren’t as aware and experienced as you are.
    So reluctantly, you agree to come back to Earth in a human form. With the help of your guides and the recruiters, every part of your life is mapped out ahead of time. Of course you have freewill choices about everything, but the guides are very influential in urging you to balance your karma with certain people. So you agree to have them as your parents, friends, and partners. You’ve been with these souls in other lifetimes. And it’s essential that you clear any unforgiveness, fear, or anger that you might harbor in those
