Highest Good & Highest Service of All
A simple, powerful practice for choosing and BEing Good (yes, rather than evil) in your everyday, magical life... even when you don't know what the "good" choice is.
Blessings and HUGE gratitude to all my paid subscribers for making this creative space possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your contribution to my work, to my life, and to this beautiful, burgeoning community. I appreciate you more than I can say.
And Happy 4th of July for those of you in the States! 🇺🇸
My in-laws arrive tonight, and it’s all-hands-on-deck for renovations for the next few weeks!
As I pondered what to write about between ripping up floorboards, I realized a theme has been rising for people in my community.
It’s a common magical dilemma that—if we’re honest with ourselves—we all face daily.
So I wanted to offer a quick insight today that my guides have helped me understand at a profound level.
I pray this simple idea supports you to experience clarity and peace in your magical decision-making now and all ways.
Choosing To Be Good
Two different clients hit a similar magical crossroads this week.
Like just about all of the folks who work with me, these two are amazing and powerful beings who want to bring Light and Love to Planet Earth. Both of them are training their magic to share their gifts in a way that is effective and accessible.
And recently, they both found themselves standing on the edge of the strange grey line that doctors and witches call “do no harm”.
Magic is tricky. Invisible realms beyond our knowing are filled with variables that are impossible to quantify.
“Harm” itself is an unquantifiable variable—we kill things with our shoes and cars every time we leave the house. We till the land to grow our food, maiming all kinds of little beasties and bacteria. We even raise and kill animals for our own consumption.
And that’s just the survival-level stuff!
Let’s face it—we all do harm all the time. If that’s the gage… everyone lives in the grey area. “Do no harm” doesn’t really make sense for humans to lean on as a guidepost.
So…
In the great magical test of good and evil, how do we make sure we’re on the side of “Good”?
Anyone who’s ever read fantasy novels knows how tricky it is. There’s a point at which being too good actually tips over into evil. (For anyone interested, Dragonlance is my favorite series for deeply exploring questions of good and evil.)
But, seriously…
How can we ever hope to be Good?
Actually, the answer is shockingly simple.
As tiny little humans, we really can’t know the best or right thing to do in every circumstance. It’s simply not possible.
Yet at the same time, we are creatures of powerful intention.
Our magical intentions and declarations can hold us on track in the invisible realms in a way our actions never could.
As a magical being, you have the power to pray, intend, declare, and BE that who you are is for the HIGHEST GOOD and HIGHEST SERVICE of All.
When you stand in this place of clear intention, everything is run through this filter. All your actions and their derivative consequences become imbued with the energy of Highest Good, Highest Service.
It smooths out malice… disregard… pettiness… laziness. It finds pathways through deceit. It corrects unknown variables and divinely aligns them.
When you stand in the Highest Good and Highest Service of All beings, you move beyond simply doing no harm into a realm of Light, where even the most difficult choices are guided by a greater Wisdom.
As a human, you still have to accept that you don’t get to know all the details of the Wisdom behind the scenes. (And if you think this is a shortcut for everything going well in your life, you’ve got another thing coming.)
It won’t all ways look pretty, and it certainly doesn’t mean you’ll never hurt anybody again. But if you truly center yourself and ground your life around Highest Good and Highest Service, you can begin to trust yourself, your choices, and your actions in a way you’ve never been able to before.
It isn’t a shortcut to make everything awesome. You still have to listen to your inner guidance. You still have to practice and follow where it leads.
But it’s a clear way to know where you stand.
For anyone struggling to do the “right thing” and wondering if you’re doing it… setting a clear and total intention—with every molecule of your being—for the Highest Good, Highest Service of All is a solid foundation on which to build your life here on Earth.
This little practice has been a Godsend for me, but as always…
Don’t take my word for it—try it on for yourself.
I’ll be accepting new students for my Magical Mentorship program at the end of October if you’re interested in learning to work with the invisible realms all around us.
Beyond the hereditary magic of ritual and tradition, I train modern humans to tap into their own (very real) superpowers. Using my Divine gift of Seeing—together with my guides—you’ll be invited to discover your unique magic… trained to wield it powerfully and with integrity in this world, this life.
As the mages of old trained to great powers, so the Mystery Schools are now being revived. This 1-on-1 Magical Mentorship is your personalized Mystery School, with information and lessons from the realms of Spirit tailored for you.
If you feel called to train your magic… or even if you’re just curious, I’ll be opening my calendar for Exploration Calls toward the end of the summer.
Stay tuned! ⭐️✨
Intention is everything! I could probably debate for hours on the topic of good and evil, yet here you are distilling it to one beautiful filter of intention. I'll have to wield my power to pray, intend, declare and BE more.
