Late last year I began to "awaken" and at that time I began reading a lot of your material on the internet, and also began to read a lot of information regarding everything relating to spirituality.

This last year has been quite a ride for me. It has had its ups (times where I've experienced moments where I fully believe in God, Angels, Realms) and then there has also been down times where I have had doubt. Usually when I am in doubt I will just take a break from looking for answers and look within myself but right now it feels to difficult to do that because a part of finds it very hard to accept. It is very hard to handle because it is in my thoughts all the time and right now I just don't know what to believe.

I pray for truth, a sign, anything, but it seems like God gives me just enough to think it is real but at the same time think it may not be. And it really hurts me.

The reason I am writing to you is because your writings have always resonated with me and I believe if anyone can help give me some kind of reassuring advice it is you. Thank you... M.

Dearest M.,

You are awakening, and you are not just awakening on the mental level in terms of what you believe or do not believe. You are awakening in your heart which has a different measure of truth. When your thoughts are confused or filled with doubt, go to your heart. There you will find the hope, love, or joy that will be a guide to you. You may not feel these things in full measure, but even if you feel hope in small measure, it will tell you that your heart is a guide to the truth.

There are energies present in the world and for individuals that seek to create doubt and prevent awakening, but they cannot touch the heart's truth. Listen to your heart and when your mind becomes confused, strive to become silent and just breathe.

Hope and love are alive in you even during periods of doubt. This can be trusted, for these are of your soul, conveying to you the truth of what is. Blessings, dear one - Julie Redstone.
