Once upon a time there was a Little Soul, and she said to God:
- I know who I am!
And God said:

- It's fine! Who are you?
And the Little Soul cried out:
- I Am Light!
“That's right,” God smiled. - You are the Light.
The Little Soul was terribly happy, as she found out what all the souls of the Kingdom had to find out.
- O! said the Little Soul. - It's really cool!
But soon the knowledge of who she was seemed to her insufficient. The Little Soul felt an inner discomfort, now it wanted to be what it is. So the Little Soul went back to God (which is not a bad idea at all for all souls who want to know Who
They Are in Reality) and said:

- Now that I know Who I Am, tell me, can I be this?
And God said:

- Are you saying that you want to be Who You Already Are?
“Well,” replied the Little Soul, “it's one thing to know Who I Am, and it's quite another to actually be it. I want to feel what it is like to be Light!
“But you are already Light,” God repeated, smiling again.
- Yes, but I would like to know how it is to feel like the Light! - exclaimed the Little Soul.
“Okay,” God said with a smile. “I suppose I should know: you have always been adventurous.
And then God continued in a different way.
- There is only one detail ...
- What is it? the Little Soul asked.
“You see, there is nothing else but the Light. You see, I have not created anything different from you; and therefore it will not be so easy for you to know Who You Are as long as there is nothing that is not you.
“Hmm…” said the Little Soul, who was now somewhat embarrassed.
“Think about it,” God said. - You are like a candle in the Sun. Oh, you are there, no doubt, along with a million, quadrillion other candles that make up the Sun. And the Sun would not be the Sun without you. No, it would be the sun without one of its candles. And it would be at all
not the Sun, since it would no longer be as bright. And yet, how to know yourself as the Light, when you are inside the Light - that is the question.
“Well,” the Little Soul jumped, “you are God. Think of something!
God smiled again.
- I've already thought of it. Since you cannot see yourself as the Light, when you are inside the Light, we will surround you with darkness.
- What is darkness? the Little Soul asked.
God answered:
- This is not you.
- Will I be afraid of the dark? cried the Little Soul.
“Only if you choose to be afraid,” God replied. “There is really nothing to be afraid of until you decide that it is. You see, we make it all up. We're pretending.
"Oh, I already feel better," said the Little Soul.
Then God explained that in order to experience anything to its fullest, something completely opposite must happen.
“This is the greatest gift,” God said, “because without it you cannot know which is which. You cannot know what is Heat without Cold, Top without Bottom, Fast without Slow. You cannot know Left without Right, Here without There, Now without Then. And therefore, - concluded God, -
when you are surrounded by darkness, do not threaten with your fist, do not shout, do not curse the darkness. Just stay the Light inside the darkness and don't be angry with it.
Then you will know Who You Really Are, and everyone else will know it too. Let your Light shine so that everyone knows how special you are.
“Do you think it’s good to show others that I’m special?” the Little Soul asked.
- Of course! - God giggled. - It is very good! But remember, special doesn't mean best. Each is special, each in its own unique way! Only many have forgotten about it. They will see that it is good for them to be special only when you realize that it is good for you to be special.
“Oh,” said the Little Soul, dancing, jumping up and down and laughing with joy. - I can be as special as I want to be!
“Yes, and you can start right now,” said the God who danced,

jumped up and laughed with Little Soul. - What part of special do you want to be?
- What part of the special? - asked the Little Soul. - I do not understand.
“Well,” God explained, “to be Light is to be special, and to be special is to have a lot of parts of the special. Especially being kind.
Especially to be gentle. Especially being creative. Especially to be tolerant. Can you think of some other way to be special?
The Little Soul was silent for a moment, and then exclaimed:
- I think of many ways to be special. Especially being generous, especially being good friends. Especially empathize with others!
- Yes! - God agreed. “And you can be all of this, or any part of the special that you wish to be, at any time. This is what it means to be Light.
- I know what I want to be! - said the Little Soul with great enthusiasm. - I want to be a part

special, which is called "forgiveness." Is it special to be forgiving?
“Oh, yes,” God said. - This is very special.
“Okay,” said the Little Soul. - This is what I want to be. I want to be forgiving. I want to experience myself precisely as a forgiving one.
“Okay,” God said, “but there is one thing you need to know.
The Little Soul began to show a slight impatience. This always happens when there are some difficulties.
- What is this? - exclaimed the Little Soul.
- There is no one who should be forgiven.
- Nobody? - The Little Soul could hardly believe what he heard.
“Nobody,” God repeated. - Everything that I have created is perfect. Among all creation, there is not a single soul less perfect than you. Look around!
And then the Little Soul found that a huge
crowd. Souls gathered from everywhere, from all parts of the kingdom. The news spread through him that an extraordinary conversation was taking place between the Little Soul and God, and everyone wanted to hear what they were talking about.
Peering into the countless other souls gathered there, the Little Soul was forced to agree. There was nothing less beautiful, less wonderful and perfect than the Little Soul itself. So amazing were the souls gathered around, so bright was the Light emitted by them that the Little Soul could hardly look at them.
- Whom then to forgive? God asked.
“It’s not getting funny at all! the Little Soul grumbled. - I wanted to experience myself as the One Who Forgives. I wanted to know how this special part feels.
And the Little Soul understood what it means to feel sadness. But just at that time, a Friendly Soul stepped forward from the crowd.
“Don't be sad, Little Soul,” the Friendly Soul said, “I will help you.

- You? - the Little Soul brightened. - But how do you do it?
“I can give you someone to forgive!

- You can?
- Of course! chirped the Friendly Soul. - I can come to your next incarnation and do something to you that you will have to forgive.
- But why? Why would you do this? - asked Little
Soul. - You, who are now in a state of absolute perfection! You, whose vibrations create such a bright Light that I can hardly look at you! What can make you want to lower your vibrations to such an extent that your bright Light turns into a thick
darkness? What can make you, who is so bright that you can dance with the stars and move throughout the Kingdom at any speed you can imagine, come into my life and make yourself so heavy that you can do bad things?
- Very simply, - said the Friendly Soul, - I will do it because I love you.
The Little Soul seemed surprised at this answer.
“Don't be so amazed,” said the Friendly Soul. “You’ve already done a similar thing for me. Don't you forget? Oh, we danced with each other many times. We have slipped through eternity and through all ages. Through all times and in many, many places we danced with each other. Don't you
do you remember? We were both of It All. We were Top and Bottom of It, Left and Right of It. We were Here and There of This, Now and Then of This. We were masculine and feminine, good and evil. We were both the victim and the villain of It. So we have come together, you and I, many times before, each bringing the exact and completely opposite to the other, to express and experience Who We Really Are. And therefore, -
the Friendly Soul explained a little later, - I will come to your next incarnation and this time I will be “bad”. I will do something truly awful, and then you can experience yourself as the One Who Forgives.
“But what are you going to do that’s so awful?” - asked the Little Soul, already a little nervous.
“Oh, we'll figure something out,” the Friendly Soul replied with a wink.
Then the Friendly Soul became serious and in a low voice added:
- You should know about one thing.
- What is it? - the Little Soul wanted to know.
“I’ll slow down my vibration and become very hard to do this not so pleasant thing. I have to become something very different from myself. And in return I will ask you only one good deed.
- Oh, whatever, whatever! - cried the Little Soul and began to dance and sing. - I will become forgiving, I will be forgiving!
Then the Little Soul saw that the Friendly Soul was still very quiet.
- What is it? the Little Soul asked. - What can I do for you? You are just an angel of goodwill that you can do this for me!
- Of course, this Friendly Soul is an angel! - God intervened. - Everyone is an angel! Always remember: I am not sending you anyone but angels.
And then the Little Soul wanted even more to make a return gift to the Friendly Soul, and she again asked:

- What can I do for you?
- The moment I torture you and beat you, the moment I do you the worst thing that you can imagine, this very moment ...

- What? - the Little Soul could not resist. - What?
The Friendly Soul has become even quieter and calmer:
Remember Who I Really Am.
- Oh, I will remember! I promise! - exclaimed the Little Soul. - I will always remember how I saw you here, right now!
“Okay,” said Friendly Soul, “because, you see, I’m going to forget myself. And if you don’t remember who I really am, I will not be able to remember it for a very, very long time. And if I forget Who I Am, you can forget Who You Are, and we will both be lost. Then we'll need another soul to come
she reminded both of us of Who We Are.
“No, no, we won't forget,” the Little Soul promised again. - I will remember you! And I will be grateful to you for this gift - a chance to test myself, Who I Am, a special person whose name is “Forgiveness”.
So the agreement was reached. And the Little Soul went into a new incarnation to become a part of the special one, whose name is "Forgiveness". And the Little Soul was anxiously awaiting the opportunity to experience itself as
Forgiving, and thanking any other soul that made this possible.
And at any moment in this new incarnation, whenever a new soul appears on the stage, whatever this new soul brings, joy or sadness.
And the Little Soul, along with the Friendly Soul, went its own way, and God whispered after them:
- Always remember that I am not sending you anyone except angels.

It is difficult to overestimate the meaning of this work-

HE WILL FOREVER REMAIN HIS OWN CAMERTON of the highest manifestation of the human Spirit.

This is the most important thing, this is something that we all need to understand at the very depths of our hearts, with which the logical mind will inevitably agree ... And only after that ... truly global changes begin in us.

Try these meanings on yourself and your neighbors - this understanding gives us all HOPE!

Sincerely, AYLAR

Neil Donald Walsh - Little Soul and Sunshine

Once upon a time, there was a Little Soul who said to God:

- I know who I am!

- Great, - answered God, - and who are you?

And the Little Soul shouted: - I am the Light!

God smiled his big smile and said: - Right! You are Light!

The Little Soul was very happy, as it understood that sooner or later all souls in the Kingdom of God understand.

“Wow,” said the Little Soul, “and this is really cool!

But soon the knowledge of who she is was not enough for her. The Little Soul felt a new whirlpool of desire begin in it. Now she wanted to be what she was. And then the Little Soul returned to God (which in itself is not a bad idea at all for all souls who want to be Who They Are in The Very Cause) and said:

- Hello God! Now that I know Who I Am, can I be this?

And God answered:

- Are you saying that you want to be who You Already Are?

“You see,” the Little Soul replied, “it's one thing to know Who I Am, and it's quite another to actually be it. I want to feel and feel what it is like to be Light!

“But you are already Light,” God repeated, smiling again.

- Yes, but I want to know it by feeling it! Cried the Little Soul.

- Well, - said God chuckling, - I should have guessed about it. You have always had a passion for adventure, - but then the expression of God changed, - Only now, there is one thing here ...

- What is such a thing? The Little Soul asked.

- There is nothing other than Light. You see, I only created what you are; and it turns out that you do not foresee a simple way to know yourself as Who You Are. You see, there is nothing that you are not.

“Uh…,” said the Little Soul, who was now somewhat puzzled.

- Think about it this way, - said God, - You are like a candle in the rays of the Sun. You shine along with the millions, trillions and trillions of other candles that make up the sun. And the sun wouldn't be the sun without you. If it had tried to become the sun without one of its candles ... it simply would not have been able to be a normal Sun, because it would no longer shine so brightly. And the task is how to know yourself as light when you are in the very center of the Light? Wow, a little bit of a puzzle?

- Well, you are God, - the Little Soul squinted, - think of something!

And then God smiled again and said:

- I've already thought of it. Since you cannot see yourself as the Light, when you are in the Light, we will surround you with darkness.

- What is darkness? The Little Soul asked.

“This is what you are not,” God replied.

- Will this darkness make me afraid? - cried the Little Soul.

“Only if you choose to be afraid,” God replied. “In fact, there is nothing to be afraid of. And only if you decide that there is, you will become afraid. You see, we're making it all up anyway. We're pretending.

Once upon a time, there was a Little Soul who said to God:
- I know who I am!
- Great, - answered God, - and who are you?
And the Little Soul cried out:
- I am the Light!
God smiled his big smile and said:
- Right! You are Light!
The Little Soul was very happy, as it understood that sooner or later all souls in the Kingdom of God understand.

And the task is how to know yourself as light when you are in the very center of the Light? Wow, a little bit of a puzzle?

Well, you are God, - the Little Soul narrowed her eyes, - think of something!
And then God smiled again and said:
- I've already thought of it. Since you cannot see yourself as the Light, when you are in the Light, we will surround you with darkness.
- What is darkness? the little soul asked.

This is what you are not, - answered God.
- Will this darkness make me afraid? - cried the Little Soul.
“Only if you choose to be afraid,” God replied. “In fact, there is nothing to be afraid of. And only if you decide that there is, you will become afraid. You see, we're making it all up anyway. We are pretending.
“Oh,” said the Little Soul, and immediately felt much better after that.
After that, God explained that in order to know in sensations or to feel anything at all, something exactly opposite must appear. Or, in other words, if you want to feel something, you give birth to the appearance of something exactly opposite.
“And this is a great gift,” God said, “for without it you would not be able to know or feel anything. You cannot know what Heat is without Cold, Top without Bottom, Fast without Slow. You could never know what is Left without Right, Here without There, Now without Then. Thus, - continued God, - when you are surrounded by darkness, do not raise your fist to heaven and do not bring your voice to a scream, and do not curse the darkness. But instead, be the Light in this darkness and don't go crazy about it. Then You will know Who You Are in the Very Cause, and everyone else will feel it as well. Let your Light shine so brightly that everyone and everyone can know how extraordinary you are!
“Are you saying it's okay to let others see how extraordinary I am?” the Little Soul asked.
- Of course! - God laughed, - it is very much even in order! But remember that extraordinary does not mean better. Each is extraordinary and special in its own way! At the same time, many managed to forget about it. And they will understand that it is okay to be special and extraordinary only when you see that it is in the order of things for you to be special.
- Wow, - said the Little Soul, starting to dance, laugh and jump for joy, - I can be as special and extraordinary as I want!
- Yes, and you can start right now, - said God, who began to dance and laugh and jump with the Little Soul, - What part of the special and extraordinary do you want to be?
- How is it, what part of the special and extraordinary? - repeated the Little Soul, - I don't understand.
“You see,” God began, “to be Light means to be special, and to be special includes many different parts. To be kind is to be special. To be gentle is to be special. To be special also means to be creative, inventive. Being patient also means being special. Can you think of any other ways to be special?
The Little Soul sat for a while in silence.
- I can think of many ways to be special! she finally exclaimed. “To be supportive is to be special. To be a giver is to be special. To be special is also to be friendly. And being nurturing also means being special.
- Yes! - agreed God, - and you can be all this or any other part of the special that you want at any moment. This is what it means to be Light.
- I know what I want to be, I know what I want to be! - The Little Soul announced happily, - I want to be that part of the special, which is called "forgiving." Isn't it true that being forgiving means being special?
“Oh, yes,” God said with confidence, “this is very special.
“Okay,” said the Little Soul, “that's what I want to be. I want to be forgiving. I want to know myself as a forgiving one.
“Okay,” God said, “but there is one thing you should know about.
The Little Soul was getting a little impatient. Now it seemed to her that new complications awaited her at every step.
- What is it? she asked with a sigh.
- There is no one who can be forgiven.
- Nobody? She could hardly believe what she had just heard.
- Nobody! - answered God. - everything that I have created is perfect. There is no other soul in everything that I have created that is less perfect than you. Take a look around.
And it was then that the Little Soul realized that a large crowd of other souls had gathered around. These souls gathered from far away and from everywhere and from the most different parts of the Kingdom, for everyone learned that the Little Soul had an extraordinary conversation with God, and everyone and everyone wanted to know what was being discussed.
Looking at the countless souls gathered, the Little Soul was forced to agree. None of the souls looked less wonderful, less gorgeous, or less perfect than herself. It was so amazing, and so bright was the light emanating from the gathered souls that the Little Soul even had to squint a little to look at them.
- So who is to forgive? God asked.
“Mmm, yes,” said the Little Soul, “it looks like it’s not going to be fun. And I wanted to know myself as the One that Forgives. I wanted to know how it feels when you're so special.
And the Little Soul wondered what it would be like to feel when you are sad. But just then another Friendly Soul approached her

Don't worry, Little Soul, the Friendly Soul told her, I will help you.
- Truth? - lit up the Little Soul, - but what do I need to do for this?
- Nothing - I'll just create someone for you whom you can forgive!
- Can you do that?
- Of course! - the Friendly Soul smiled, - in my next birth, in my next life I will do something for which you can forgive me.
- But why? Why would you suddenly do this? - asked the Little Soul, - To you the most perfect Creation! To you, which vibrates at such a speed that a Light is born, so bright that it is even difficult to look at you! What can make you want to lower your vibrations so that your bright light becomes dark and heavy? What can be the reason that you who are the Light; you, who dances with the stars and moves through the kingdom at the speed of thought, would you like to come into my life and make yourself so heavy that you could do something bad?
“The answer is very simple,” said the Friendly Soul, “I will do it because I love you.
The Little Soul was surprised to hear this answer.
“Don't be so surprised,” Friendly Soul said, “you've already done the same for me. Don't you remember this? Oh, we've danced together so many times, you and me. Throughout the eons and through the centuries, we have danced this dance with you. Throughout the time and in many places, we played together with you.
We were both already All This. We were both Top and Bottom, and Left and Right. We were already There and Here, Now and Then. We were already All of It. We were both men and women, good and bad; we've both been victims and villains before.
This is what we have done before many times for each other, you and me; and each created for the other an exact and perfect opportunity to Manifest and Know Who We Are In Our Very Business.
“Thus,” the Friendly Soul began to explain further, “this time in our next life I will appear before you as“ bad ”. And I will do something really terrible and then you can know yourself as the One Who Forgives.
- But what will you do? - asked the Little Soul, a little nervous, - what will it be really terrible, what will you do?
- Oh, - said the Friendly Soul smiling, - we will certainly come up with something.
But after that, the Friendly Soul became somehow more serious and said in a low voice:
“You know, you’re definitely right about one thing.
- In what? - the Little Soul wanted to know.
“I really need to slow down my vibrations and get very heavy in order to do this not very pleasant thing for you. I'll have to pretend to be something completely different from me. And now I want to ask you for one reciprocal favor.
- Yes, whatever you want! Anything you want! - exclaimed the Little Soul, starting to sing and dance, - I will be forgiving! I will be forgiving! - and then the Little Soul noticed that the Friendly Soul continued to remain silent.
- So what do you want? - asked the Little Soul, - What can I do for you? You are just an angel agreeing to do this for me.
- Well, of course, this Friendly Soul is an angel! - God interrupted their conversation, - Everyone is an angel. Remember always: I send you only angels and no one except them.

And the Little Soul burned with impatience to do something in order to satisfy the request of the Friendly Soul:
- So what can I do for you? she asked again.
“When I begin to beat you and hurt you,” the Friendly Soul began, “at the moment when I will make you the worst of all that you can imagine… At this very moment…
- Yes? - the Little Soul interrupted her, - so what ...?
The Friendly Soul silently looked at the Little Soul and then said:
- Remember who I really am.
- Oh, of course! - exclaimed the Little Soul, - I promise! I will always remember you as I see you here and now.
“Okay,” said the Friendly Soul, “because, you see what’s the matter: I’ll try very hard to pretend, and I’ll likely forget who I really am.” And if you don’t remember who I really am, I can forget about it for a very long time. And if I forget Who I Am, you can even forget Who You Are and we both will be lost. And then we need another soul to come and remind us of Who We Are.
- No! We don't need this! - the little Soul promised again, - I will remember who you are! And I will be grateful to you for the gift that you will bring to me - a chance to know and feel Who I Am.

And the agreement was made, and the Little Soul set off on its new life, joyful that it would be the Light, which in itself was very special; and doubly joyful because she can be that part of this special thing called Forgiveness.
And the Little Soul was looking forward to the opportunity to feel and know itself as Forgiveness and to bring gratitude to the soul that would make it possible.
And at every new moment of this new life, when a new soul appeared on the stage, so that this new soul does not bring joy or sorrow into the life of the Little Soul, and especially if it was sorrow, the Little Soul thought about what God had told her. :
- Always remember, - God smiled, - I always send you only angels, and no one but them ...

Translation by Roman Tikhonov

Once upon a time there was a Little Soul, and she said to God:

I know who I am!

And God said:

It's fine! Who are you?

And the Little Soul cried out:

I Am Light!

That's right, - God smiled. - You are the Light.

The Little Soul was terribly happy, as she found out what all the souls of the Kingdom had to find out.

O! said the Little Soul. - It's really cool!

But soon the knowledge of who she was seemed to her insufficient. The Little Soul felt an inner discomfort, now it wanted to be what it is. So the Little Soul went back to God (which is not a bad idea at all for all souls who want to know Who They Really Are) and said:

Now that I know Who I Am, tell me, can I be this?

And God said:

Are you saying that you want to be Who You Already Are?

Well, ”the Little Soul replied,“ it's one thing to know Who I Am, and quite another to actually be it. I want to feel what it is like to be Light!

But you are already Light, - repeated God, smiling again.

Yes, but I would like to know how it is to feel like the Light! - exclaimed the Little Soul.

Okay, - said God with a smile. “I suppose I should know: you have always been adventurous.

And then God continued in a different way.

There is only one detail ...

What is it? the Little Soul asked.

You see, there is nothing else but Light. You see, I have not created anything different from you; and therefore it will not be so easy for you to know Who You Are as long as there is nothing that is not you.

Hmm ... - said the Little Soul, who was now somewhat embarrassed.

Think about it, said God. - You are like a candle in the Sun. Oh, you are there, no doubt, along with a million, quadrillion other candles that make up the Sun. And the Sun would not be the Sun without you. No, it would be the sun without one of its candles. And it would not be the Sun at all, since it would no longer be as bright. And yet, how to know yourself as the Light, when you are inside the Light - that is the question.

Well, - the Little Soul jumped up, - you are God. Think of something!

God smiled again.

I've already thought of it. Since you cannot see yourself as the Light, when you are inside the Light, we will surround you with darkness.

What is darkness? the Little Soul asked.

God answered:

This is not you.

Will I be afraid of the dark? cried the Little Soul.

Only if you choose to be afraid, - answered God. “There is really nothing to be afraid of until you decide that it is. You see, we make it all up. We're pretending.

Oh, I already feel better, said the Little Soul.

Then God explained that in order to experience anything to its fullest, something completely opposite must happen.

This is the greatest gift, - said God, - because without it you cannot know which is which. You cannot know what is Heat without Cold, Top without Bottom, Fast without Slow. You cannot know Left without Right, Here without There, Now without Then. And therefore, - concluded God, - when you are surrounded by darkness, do not threaten with your fist, do not shout, do not curse the darkness. Just stay the Light inside the darkness and don't be angry with it. Then you will know Who You Really Are, and everyone else will know it too. Let your Light shine so that everyone knows how special you are.

Do you think it's good to show others that I'm special? the Little Soul asked.

Of course! - God giggled. - It is very good! But remember, special doesn't mean best. Each is special, each in its own unique way! Only many have forgotten about it. They will see that it is good for them to be special only when you understand that it is good for you to be special.

Oh, said the Little Soul, dancing, bouncing and laughing with joy. - I can be as special as I want to be!

Yes, and you can start right now, ”said God, who danced, jumped and laughed with the Little Soul. - What part of special do you want to be?

What part is special? - asked the Little Soul. - I do not understand.

Well, God explained, to be Light is to be special, and to be special is to have a lot of parts of the special. Especially being kind. Especially to be gentle. Especially being creative. Especially to be tolerant. Can you think of some other way to be special?

The Little Soul was silent for a moment, and then exclaimed:

I think of many ways to be special. Especially being generous, especially being good friends. Especially empathize with others!

Yes! - God agreed. “And you can be all of this, or any part of the special that you wish to be, at any time. This is what it means to be Light.

I know what I want to be! - said the Little Soul with great enthusiasm. “I want to be part of a special thing called forgiveness. Is it special to be forgiving?

Oh yes, God confirmed. - This is very special.

Okay, said the Little Soul. - This is what I want to be. I want to be forgiving. I want to experience myself precisely as a forgiving one.

Okay, God said, but there is one thing you need to know.

The Little Soul began to show a slight impatience. This always happens when there are some difficulties.

What is this? - exclaimed the Little Soul.

There is no one to be forgiven.

Nobody? - The Little Soul could hardly believe what he heard.

Nobody, - repeated God. - Everything that I have created is perfect. Among all creation, there is not a single soul less perfect than you. Look around!

And then the Little Soul found a huge crowd gathered. Souls gathered from everywhere, from all over the Kingdom. The news spread through him that an extraordinary conversation was taking place between the Little Soul and God, and everyone wanted to hear what they were talking about. Peering into the countless other souls gathered there, the Little Soul was forced to agree. There was nothing less beautiful, less wonderful and perfect than the Little Soul itself. So amazing were the souls gathered around, so bright was the Light emitted by them that the Little Soul could hardly look at them.

Whom then to forgive? God asked.

This is not getting funny at all! the Little Soul grumbled. - I wanted to experience myself as the One Who Forgives. I wanted to know how this special part feels.

And the Little Soul understood what it means to feel sadness. But just at that time, a Friendly Soul stepped forward from the crowd.

Do not be sad, Little Soul, - said the Friendly Soul, - I will help you.

You? - the Little Soul brightened. - But how do you do it?

I can give you someone to forgive!

You can?

Of course! chirped the Friendly Soul. - I can come to your next incarnation and do something to you that you will have to forgive.

But why? Why would you do this? the Little Soul asked. - You, who are now in a state of absolute perfection! You, whose vibrations create such a bright Light that I can hardly look at you! What can make you want to lower your vibrations to such an extent that your bright Light turns into thick darkness? What can make you, who is so bright that you can dance with the stars and move around the Kingdom at any speed you can imagine, come into my life and make yourself so heavy that you can do bad things?

Very simply, - said the Friendly Soul, - I will do it because I love you.

The Little Soul seemed surprised at this answer.

Don't be so amazed, said the Friendly Soul. “You’ve already done a similar thing for me. Don't you forget? Oh, we danced with each other many times. We have slipped through eternity and through all ages. Through all times and in many, many places we danced with each other. Do not you remember? We were both of It All. We were Top and Bottom of It, Left and Right of It. We were Here and There of This, Now and Then of This. We were masculine and feminine, good and evil. We were both the victim and the villain of It. So we have come together, you and I, many times before, each bringing the exact and completely opposite to the other, to express and experience Who We Really Are. And therefore, - the Friendly Soul explained a little later, - I will come to your next incarnation and this time I will be “bad”. I will do something truly awful, and then you can experience yourself as the One Who Forgives.

But what are you going to do that is so terrible? - asked the Little Soul, already a little nervous.

Oh, we'll figure something out, ”the Friendly Soul replied with a wink.

Then the Friendly Soul became serious and in a low voice added:

There is one thing you need to know.

What is it? - the Little Soul wanted to know.

I will slow down my vibration and become very hard to do this not so pleasant thing. I have to become something very different from myself. And in return I will ask you only one good deed.

Oh, whatever, whatever! - cried the Little Soul and began to dance and sing. - I will become forgiving, I will be forgiving!

Then the Little Soul saw that the Friendly Soul was still very quiet.

What is it? the Little Soul asked. - What can I do for you? You are just an angel of goodwill that you can do this for me!

Of course, this Friendly Soul is an angel! - God intervened. - Everyone is an angel! Always remember: I am not sending you anyone but angels.

And then the Little Soul wanted even more to make a return gift to the Friendly Soul, and she again asked:

What can I do for you?

The moment I torture you and beat you, the moment I do you the worst thing you can imagine, this very moment ...

What? - the Little Soul could not resist. - What?

The Friendly Soul has become even quieter and calmer:

Remember Who I Really Am.

Oh, I will remember! I promise! - exclaimed the Little Soul. - I will always remember how I saw you here, right now!

Okay, said Friendly Soul, because, you see, I will pretend so hard that I will forget myself. And if you don’t remember who I really am, I will not be able to remember it for a very, very long time. And if I forget Who I Am, you can forget Who You Are, and we will both be lost. Then we will need another soul to come to remind both of us of Who We Are.

No, no, we will not forget, the Little Soul promised again. - I will remember you! And I will be grateful to you for this gift - a chance to experience myself Who I Am.

So the agreement was reached. And the Little Soul went into a new incarnation to become a part of the special one, whose name is "Forgiveness". And the Little Soul was anxiously awaiting the opportunity to experience itself as the Forgiving One, and to thank any other soul that made this possible. And at any moment in this new incarnation, whenever a new soul appears on the stage, whatever this new soul brings, joy or sorrow, and especially if it brings sorrow - the Little Soul thinks about what God said:

Always remember, I am not sending you anyone but angels.

Little Soul and the Sun.

Parable by Neil Donald Walsh.

Once upon a time there was a Little Soul, and she said to God:

I know who I am!

And God said:

It's fine! Who are you?

And the Little Soul cried out:

I Am Light!

That's right, - God smiled. - You are the Light.

The Little Soul was terribly happy, as she found out what all the souls of the Kingdom had to find out.

O! said the Little Soul. - It's really cool!

But soon the knowledge of who she was seemed to her insufficient. The Little Soul felt an inner discomfort, now it wanted to be what it is. So the Little Soul went back to God (which is not a bad idea at all for all souls who want to know Who They Really Are) and said:

Now that I know Who I Am, tell me, can I be this?

And God said:

Are you saying that you want to be Who You Already Are?

Well, ”the Little Soul replied,“ it's one thing to know Who I Am, and quite another to actually be it. I want to feel what it is like to be Light!

But you are already Light, - repeated God, smiling again.

Yes, but I would like to know how it is to feel like the Light! - exclaimed the Little Soul.

Okay, - said God with a smile. “I suppose I should know: you have always been adventurous.

And then God continued in a different way.

There is only one detail ...

What is it? the Little Soul asked.

You see, there is nothing else but Light. You see, I have not created anything different from you; and therefore it will not be so easy for you to know Who You Are as long as there is nothing that is not you.

Hmm ... - said the Little Soul, who was now somewhat embarrassed.

Think about it, said God. - You are like a candle in the Sun. Oh, you are there, no doubt, along with a million, quadrillion other candles that make up the Sun. And the Sun would not be the Sun without you. No, it would be the sun without one of its candles. And it would not be the Sun at all, since it would no longer be as bright. And yet, how to know yourself as the Light, when you are inside the Light - that is the question.

Well, - the Little Soul jumped up, - you are God. Think of something!

God smiled again.

I've already thought of it. Since you cannot see yourself as the Light, when you are inside the Light, we will surround you with darkness.

What is darkness? the Little Soul asked.

God answered:

This is not you.

Will I be afraid of the dark? cried the Little Soul.

Only if you choose to be afraid, - answered God. “There is really nothing to be afraid of until you decide that it is. You see, we make it all up. We're pretending.

Oh, I already feel better, said the Little Soul.

Then God explained that in order to experience anything to its fullest, something completely opposite must happen.

This is the greatest gift, - said God - because without it you cannot know which is which. You cannot know what is Heat without Cold, Top without Bottom, Fast without Slow. You cannot know Left without Right, Here without There, Now without Then. And therefore, - concluded God, - when you are surrounded by darkness, do not threaten with your fist, do not shout, do not curse the darkness. Just stay the Light inside the darkness and don't be angry with it. Then you will know Who You Really Are, and everyone else will know it too. Let your Light shine so that everyone knows how special you are.

Do you think it's good to show others that I'm special? the Little Soul asked.

Of course! - God giggled. - It is very good! But remember, special doesn't mean best. Each is special, each in its own unique way! Only many have forgotten about it. They will see that it is good for them to be special only when you realize that it is good for you to be special.

Oh, said the Little Soul, dancing, bouncing and laughing with joy. - I can be as special as I want to be!

Yes, and you can start right now, ”said God, who danced, jumped and laughed with the Little Soul. - What part of special do you want to be?

What part is special? - asked the Little Soul. - I do not understand.

Well, God explained, to be Light is to be special, and to be special is to have a lot of parts of the special. Especially being kind. Especially to be gentle. Especially being creative. Especially to be tolerant. Can you think of some other way to be special?

The Little Soul was silent for a moment, and then exclaimed:

I think of many ways to be special. Especially being generous, especially being good friends. Especially empathize with others!

Yes! - God agreed. “And you can be all of this, or any part of the special that you wish to be, at any time. This is what it means to be Light.

I know what I want to be! - said the Little Soul with great enthusiasm. “I want to be part of a special thing called forgiveness. Is it special to be forgiving?

Oh yes, God confirmed. - This is very special.

Okay, said the Little Soul. - This is what I want to be. I want to be forgiving. I want to experience myself precisely as a forgiving one.

Okay, God said, but there is one thing you need to know.

The Little Soul began to show a slight impatience. This always happens when there are some difficulties.

What is this? - exclaimed the Little Soul.

There is no one to be forgiven.

Nobody? - The Little Soul could hardly believe what he heard.

Nobody, - repeated God. - Everything that I have created is perfect. Among all creation, there is not a single soul less perfect than you. Look around!

And then the Little Soul found a huge crowd gathered. Souls gathered from everywhere, from all over the Kingdom. The news spread through him that an extraordinary conversation was taking place between the Little Soul and God, and everyone wanted to hear what they were talking about. Peering into the countless other souls gathered there, the Little Soul was forced to agree. There was nothing less beautiful, less wonderful and perfect than the Little Soul itself.
