Once there was a woman named Lyra who wandered from place to place, never quite fitting in.
She tried to speak softer, dress differently, laugh less, hide her thoughts. Still, she felt like an outsider—never enough, always too much.
One day she found herself at the edge of a circle. People were gathered around a fire, laughing, weeping, meditating. She stood watching, unsure if she should step in.
An elder saw her hesitation.
“You’re welcome,” they said.
“I’m not like you,” she replied.
The elder smiled. “That’s why you belong.”
Lyra stepped into the circle.
No one asked her to change.
No one asked her to explain.
They simply made space.
And something within her remembered:
She hadn’t come to fit in.
She had come to be.
The soul does not ask, “Do I deserve this?”
It only asks, “Will I be true?”
You were never meant to wear the world’s masks.
You came to wear light.
And it fits you perfectly.

Service Reflection
Key Theme: You Belong Because You Are—Live From the Soul, Not the Mask
This powerfully affirming and spiritually rooted service invited everyone present to reconnect with the truth of their soul’s purpose and presence:
- You do not need to change in order to belong. Conformity is not the path to spiritual truth—authenticity is. You are already worthy simply because you exist.
- The soul is eternal and divine. As Silver Birch teaches, the soul is not just part of us—it is us. The soul is the garment of Spirit, a spark of divine breath, and our conscious self.
- You are not alone—even in your sleep. Astral travel, as part of our soul’s journey, prepares us nightly for our return to the spirit world and reminds us of our eternal connections.
- Service and community are sacred. Healing, prayer, and collective energy create a powerful field where Spirit can work. This centre is not just a place—it’s a spiritual home.
- You are meant to shine. You carry within you the power to love, forgive, heal, and create. The teachings encourage us to live from the soul—bravely, openly, and fully.
In essence: You belong—not by proving, pleasing, or pretending, but by being. The soul is your truth. Honour it.
