“You really don’t seem to live in one place for more than five minutes,” said my cousin in her strong Liverpool accent. These words still echo in my mind from decades ago, when my parents and I spent a couple of years in Liverpool, United Kingdom. Soon after we were moving again! I have continued this way of life in my adulthood, moving to several different countries, and even other continents.

Perhaps I get my restless spirit from my father, typical Sagittarius that he was, just like I inherited his tendency toward alcohol addiction. A lot of moving around is not meant to be harmonious for a Cancerian female, like myself, but I recall a friend of mine compiling my Astrological chart a long time ago, saying that a strong Gemini influence in my chart was the cause of this. I am no specialist in Astrology, but find it fascinating nonetheless.

Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe ~ Anatole France

Then again, my recent move across continents could also have been due to this ‘restlessness of spirit’ so many of us have been feeling lately. This is the very thing which spurs us on to new experiences and life lessons. It’s the ‘wanderer’ in us that already has eyes on the next goal, before we’ve taken time to bask in our achievements so far!

Of course, our restless spirit also affects those around us, and brings them life lessons too… and not always positive ones. My mother never really wanted to leave her country of birth, but felt it was her duty to follow my father around. With this, she experienced lessons in insecurity and resentment. I know my father left his family in the UK fragmented, as he tended to pitch up on their doorsteps unannounced after years of absence. This ultimately led to him being estranged from his family, and from others who had been affected by his erratic comings and goings.

My husband teases me about hoarding papers, but it was amongst my stash of papers that I recently found a battered, old photocopy I have often read over the years, when I felt a need for upliftment. The paper was written by a lady called Nellie Snyders who held meditation classes in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. At the time she was already in her mid-70s, but as fit as a fiddle from regular Yoga and careful nutrition. She would often give us printed handouts of channeled messages she said she’d received from her guides.

At that time, those of us attending her weekly meditation classes, were concerned about escalating violence and instability in our area, so her messages offered some reassurance. I still draw some peace reading her notes:

Each of you is being directed to where you should be for the present. Yes, possibly in zones where devastation is predicted, high crime, or stressful and depressed areas. But can’t you see the purpose of this? You are needed for balance, you are needed as anchors, you are placed strategically where you will be of the most value, and can be of the highest use in the master plan.

I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within ~  Lillian Smith

And, let us assure you dear ones, you are safe! You are not without protection. Each and every moment, and as long as you stay in tune with your inner self, you will always, repeat always, be apprised of what you should do, or where you should be, unless, you begin to buy into the reality of deprivation, destruction and cataclysm.

You are directed to create love, balance, peace and harmony within yourself, as well as within your home, family, neighbourhood and anywhere else you find yourself on this earth plane. Many of you have felt the urge to relocate for various reasons and this may be appropriate, especially if the way is made clear and everything falls into place with ease. But, this should not be done in panic and from fear. Remember, you must take yourself and your consciousness with you and if there is a deep seated fear of destruction or loss, you will draw this experience to you, and it will come no matter how far you run. You cannot hide from yourself.

You perhaps are not aware how significant the phrase “ET call home” really is. We are waiting for you to reconnect, to clear the static and distortion of fear, hate, judgment and limitation, so that you will be able to call home and we will answer. Many of you are doubtful, or in awe of those who have the ability to communicate with the unseen realms, but know that this is the normal state of your being. You have simply forgotten. You have been disconnected for so long that you do not remember the time when this was a natural part of your sense structure.

Spiritual restlessness? Is the grass really greener somewhere else? Perhaps the expression that the grass is always greener on the other side, literally means ‘the other side’, as in ‘the spirit world.’ There are endless accounts from souls who describe the colors on the other side as being so much more vibrant and beautiful than we get to see on this side of the veil.
