The Gift of Helplessness

A touching story by
Karen De La Fuente

There was a Meeting in Heaven.
Several angels and other souls were present, along with the usual Council members. It was time to
prepare some souls for their journeys on Earth. Several Council members spoke about various
topics, in hopes that these unique souls would truly grasp the missions that they were about to
undertake.
“When you first emerge in your physical form, you will still feel very connected to This Side; which,
ironically they call the Other Side.” (A low chuckle ran through the room.) “As time goes by – and it
goes by very differently from the way it passes here – you will find that the fine line between Here
and There becomes thicker, harder to penetrate. Your memory of this time and this place will grow
dim, until it becomes merely a notion that you actually “belong” somewhere else – somewhere
better. This happens to all souls that inhabit physical bodies. You won't even notice it happening.”
“But, in your cases, there will be a difference. Because of the extraordinary lives that you will live,
the fine line won't be quite as thick as it is for most humans. You will much more easily maintain
contact with angels and spirit beings, and This Side. There is a reason for this – not only will your
needs be different during your lifetimes, but your missions there are unique, as well. Hence, the
blessing of never feeling completely out of touch with True Reality. Most humans end up believing
that Earth life is Reality. In fact, This Side is Reality – Earth life is Fiction. You, the few, will be able
to recall this when your lives are difficult, and your trials numerous. This blessing, we grant unto
you all.”
As the meeting wore on, the time eventually came for each soul to receive a Personal Blessing
before departing the vast Glory they knew so well, for the unknown and untried territory of Earth
life. One by one, they sat in the Seat of Blessing, and received the Gifts that that would help them
most in life. They understood that this happens to all souls – but that their Gifts would be unique
and enhanced – magnified, if you will.
Finally, there was one soul left to bless, and send on his way. Three angels who were magnificent
beyond description stood behind the Seat of Blessing, and gestured to the soul, who approached
with humility and grace. He was so excited to be on his way to Earth life, and the experiences that
awaited him there! He sat humbly in the Seat, and bowed his head slightly, as he felt the angels
lay their hands upon his head – the Chief Angel among them speaking in a deep, gentle, yet
powerful voice.
The angel continued.
