Making the Grade - Manifesting in the Universe/The Soup Story

Opening up your heart to the divine is like opening a can of soup.  The broth can be clear and light or sometimes thick an heavy.

You never know what you might find in soup.
Carrots, celery, a little garlic or a few pieces of corn or chicken.

I like my soup hearty.  The better the mixture of "stuff", the better it tastes.

Our hearts, like soup, can be heavy or they can be light.
We can delight in many different treasures and partake of joy in many things, like what you might find in soup.  Or we can limit ourselves in what we find pleasure in, only accepting the finer and more delicate "broth" that life can bring.

I like soup for what it is.  I can't say I want a tomato soup and then expect to get a chicken noodle.
I can't ask for wheat bread then expect to get white.  Yet everyday in our lives we do the same thing.  How little are the times we ask for what we REALLY want?  We settle or say we want something, we most often want nothing to do with.

You can say you want a new job, but do you?  What kind of job?  Are you specific?  Because when you ask the universe for a new job you can get one, but it might be worse than your last if you don't ask for the "kind" of job you want.

Say you want a new boyfriend or girlfriend/husband or wife - You may realize you have a wide variety to choose from, but do they have the ingredients, the traits and personality, that you would like them to have?

If you want a new rug, and your intent is that it must be blue.  Is it light blue, aqua or navy?

That's why I like the soup with all the "stuff" in it.  I get to choose exactly what I want, ask for it and expect it.  Like soup, if we don't ask specifically what we want and wait for just broth, we might get everything but what we wanted in the first place.

Making the grade is about being conscious enough to make your intentions not only clear to the universe, but to yourself.
