Wilhelm Messages with Reflection Questions
May 16, 2025
We have never made a mistake, and neither have you. You evolve using linear time, and we do not. We wanted you and your world to become all you could be.
As you read the following messages, you will understand the trajectory of your life and world. We wanted evolution as did you.
Reflection Questions:
- What might it mean that “we have never made a mistake, and neither have you”?
- How does viewing mistakes as part of evolution change your perspective on past decisions?
- What trajectory do you see in your life when looking back at your journey so far?
May 16, 2008
Impatience on your part in regard to the manifestations of any of your desires, signals to the Universe that you believe something has gone “wrong”.
There are no mistakes, except for the one you may make when you fail to allow the awareness that you sought to come to you in those very moments of impatience.
When you completely trust the Divine Order that is always occurring, you allow the impatience itself to leave your experience.
Trust is only a thought away.
Reflection Questions:
- Where in your life are you currently experiencing impatience?
- What awareness might be trying to come to you in those moments of impatience?
- How can you practice deeper trust in divine timing today?

Happiness is merely a decision you make.
There is nothing in your physical world that will ever cause you to be happy. You will, however, observe certain situations, events, and circumstances, and based on your very own perception of what is in front of you, you will then make a decision about how you decide to feel.
When you think that those particular “things”, as it were, are the source of your happiness, in that moment, all the power to be, do, and have what you desire has been given to those things. You are a spiritual being, and the true nature of “you” is never dependent on anything in your physical world. All that exists resides in your inner world, and you make a decision each and every time about what they mean, how you feel, and their purpose.
Simply decide in your every moment of now to make those decisions on how you choose to feel. You possess that power.
Reflection Questions:
- What external circumstances or things are you currently depending on for your happiness?
- Can you recall a time when you chose happiness despite challenging circumstances?
- What would change in your life if you fully embraced that happiness is a decision you make?
May 16, 2010
Difficulty does not exist except in your very own thinking. That statement is true of anything and everything in your physical world. You never intended for anything that you attempted to be, have, or do to be difficult, for you knew that throughout your physical life experience you would continually access more of the power that is innate to your very being. That process of accessing that power is what you call expansion or evolvement.
It would be beneficial for you to begin to instantly recognize that when you label anything as difficult, it is your own limitation and restriction you have placed on it and not a fact of ultimate reality. This applies to any circumstance or situation, and as you know this you will also begin to change your perception about all of it. That is power.
Reflection Questions:
- What are you currently labeling as “difficult” in your life?
- How might your perception change if you removed the label of “difficult” from these situations?
- What inner power might you access if you approached these challenges with curiosity instead of resistance?
May 16, 2011
What you deserve is whatever you desire, and the way to accomplish this is to rehabilitate your thinking. In other words, you have formed a habit of thinking of what you desire and then simultaneously allowing your thinking to find all the ways and means that is not possible. Then it becomes a game of breaking those barriers, which most times even escapes your awareness.
You have the ability to decide what you desire to be, do, or have, and then simply allow the Universe, of which you are a significant part, to bring it to you in a manner that always serves your highest good. This will also bring you back to understanding why merely living in your moment of now is so important.
Reflection Questions:
- In what areas of your life do you habitually find reasons why your desires aren’t possible?
- What barriers to receiving have you created in your thinking patterns?
- How might fully living in the present moment help you allow your desires to manifest?
May 16, 2012
The results of whatever you attempt to do are never your concern. In other words, when you begin anything you desire to achieve, be, or have, it is not possible for you to accurately predict what the results will be. If you could do this, there would be no point or value in the journey itself for you would discover nothing new, and your goal in any endeavor is to always discover and experience something new.
Also, it is not possible for you to truly function with your attention in two places at once. If you are busy trying to figure out the results of what you are doing, you miss the journey itself and that is truly what you desired to experience.
Reflection Questions:
- Where are you currently overly focused on outcomes rather than the journey?
- What new discoveries might be waiting for you if you released attachment to specific results?
- How would your approach to current projects change if the experience itself became your primary focus?
May 16, 2013
Regret and understanding do not exist together. Many subjective words are being used here to help you absorb the meaning. When you are regretting anything in your physical life experience, you are also making the assumption that something has gone wrong. It matters not if it is something that you did or said, or something you believe was done to you, or particular circumstances and situations you felt were out of your control. The result is still the same. You assume something has gone wrong, therefore your life experience is wrong.
Understanding, on the other hand, is all that you ever seek. It is your ultimate goal during this lifetime. The process of seeking understanding is what causes you to expand and evolve. When you gain that understanding, you also gain the wisdom and knowledge from all those things you were regretting, and when you receive that, there is no longer any need for regret.
Reflection Questions:
- What regrets are you currently holding that might be blocking deeper understanding?
- What wisdom might be waiting for you in past experiences you’ve labeled as “wrong”?
- How might seeking understanding rather than dwelling in regret change your relationship with your past?
May 16, 2014
Your progression is always in your hands, and there is no exception to this rule. Progression, as it is being used here, means your spiritual expansion. At times you become confused with this concept because you have interpreted progression to mean something physical. You think of it as the stuff you have or accumulate; your work, your success, or any other thing that can be measured in physical terms. You have further difficulty when you think that those physical things are your goals, and then you find others that you can blame for you not achieving those goals. All those things are merely tools you knew you would use on your physical life journey to cause your spiritual expansion. Anything other than that is merely you allowing fear to block your vision. As you study this more, your awareness will grow.
Reflection Questions:
- How have you been measuring your progression in material rather than spiritual terms?
- In what ways might physical circumstances in your life be tools for spiritual expansion?
- Where has fear blocked your vision of your true spiritual progression?
May 16, 2015
There is a process that you would do well to begin to use. You can think of it as coming to terms with yourself, or coming to know your strengths. It is not possible for you fully evolve and expand as you intended without coming to know this.
Every soul comes to the physical plane with unique and particular strengths. They are there to be developed and used, if you will. The process involves you sitting down and actually writing them out. This is essential because they are so innate and therefore natural to you that most times you do not notice them, or provide them with the respect and honor they deserve.
This is precisely the opposite of comparing yourself to anyone else, which is a process in which you engage far too much. Give this attention.
Reflection Questions:
- What unique strengths do you possess that you might take for granted?
- How would writing out your strengths help you honor and develop them more fully?
- In what ways do you diminish your natural gifts by comparing yourself to others?
May 16, 2016
This week provide yourself with short goals in order that you might become far more effective and productive in your own life. Every word in that sentence was used purposefully.
Provide was used to indicate that this is an opportunity for you to use to your advantage. A short goal means a goal that you know you desire to achieve and that you know you can accomplish within the next hours, days, or within this week. This process is effective because is causes you to focus on the immediate task at hand, and then you also live consciously in your moment of now. The manner in which this allows you to become productive is that operating in this way will help you break your habit of envisioning everything you desire to do, then becoming overwhelmed with the prospect of how much there is for you to do, and then do nothing. Enjoy this.
Reflection Questions:
- What short, achievable goals could you set for the next few days?
- How does overwhelm about long-term goals prevent you from taking action now?
- In what areas of your life might small, immediate goals bring you back to living in the present moment?
May 16, 2017
All the events of your life occur at the perfect time, and they only wait for you to figure that out. That sentence was meant to bring to your awareness a statement made by you yesterday where you questioned why it took so long for a result you desired to show up or become manifest. If this particular event or result had come any earlier, you would have missed the significance of that occurrence. Now because it did show up when it did, you were able to gain the information or wisdom it was attempting to impart to you. The reason this particular result did not reveal itself to you sooner was that you were not ready to receive it. Now become ready, and next time it will not take so long.
Reflection Questions:
- Looking back, can you identify events that occurred at precisely the right time in your life?
- What recent manifestations might have been delayed because you weren’t ready to receive them?
- How might you “become ready” to receive what you’re currently waiting for?
May 16, 2018
You needed this. While there is nothing that you need, using the word here will help you understand the message. There are things that you want in your life, but all of them come from your willingness to expand continually. When you initiate that expansion in your consciousness, you will attract into your life specific experiences to aid you, and usually the most helpful are the most uncomfortable.
Patterns of behavior that block your expansion then become evident. They must if you want to evolve. An old behavior for you was attempting to please everyone and make them happy which is an impossible task. Your only job is to be happy, and allow that to be an inspiration for others to find their happiness. You have now removed a lot of pressure from yourself.
Reflection Questions:
- What uncomfortable experiences in your life right now might be aiding your expansion?
- What patterns of behavior are becoming evident that may be blocking your growth?
- In what ways do you still burden yourself with trying to please others or make them happy?
May 16, 2019
Now let’s try this. We wanted you to have a catchy title, so hopefully, this message will be impressed upon your memory and that of others. Two incidents of your recent life experience deserve great notice.
Yesterday, you received word of a possible error on something you are creating. What became apparent to you, but only today is that you didn’t panic. Then with the same project, you were asked a question as to whether or not it was more important for you to earn a lot of money or disseminate your message. You chose the message.
Both of these incidents were meant to point out to you your progress. You found a solution to that original error because you didn’t panic, and you chose so you know what is essential in your life. Now try remembering that everything is always working out, and that is what we meant by now try this. You can make a lot of money and deliver your message when you do try this.
Reflection Questions:
- What recent challenges have you faced with a new level of calm and clarity?
- What values are becoming clearer to you through the choices you make?
- In what areas of your life do you need to remember that “everything is always working out”?
May 16, 2020
You may come to believe yourself more now. That awkward sentence is meant to alert you to the fact that you have always known who you wanted to be but did not believe that entirely. We are speaking of now, mainly as more of you find your lives in a state of contemplation and review.
Last night while in conversation with his family on numerous topics, including this current pandemic, the environment, politics; Roger found his opinions on every subject were fairly consistent. Roger hadn’t recognized this until the words came out of his mouth, “I make my decisions based on whether or not it helps humanity.” Roger also couldn’t explain his attitudes, beliefs, and emotions he held during this period, but they felt real to him. This morning we reminded him why this was true through a message delivered years ago, which we will place at the end.
You each will find these connections and remembrances in your lives, and hopefully, you will begin to believe yourselves.
July 20, 2009 Everything that shows up in your life experience offers you the opportunity to make a choice, and the only two choices you posses are Love and fear. Love is always expansive and limitless, while fear is restrictive and limited. It matters not what is in front of you, but more importantly, what you decide to do with it.
If your intention on this life journey is always about expansion, then it would behoove you to always seek to choose Love. You always know which you are indeed choosing, by the “feeling” in your emotional body when you allow your present moment awareness to remain conscious.
While you may argue that there are certain situations, circumstances, and events that “should” cause you to be fearful, in the end, you always see the error of your thinking. Even your own death never happens.
Reflection Questions:
- In what ways are you beginning to believe yourself more deeply now?
- What consistent values or principles guide your decisions across different areas of life?
- How do you distinguish between choices made from love versus choices made from fear?
May 16, 2021
You may now discover why you were born. We have said you are moving through a massive restructuring in your world and your life. You wanted to be alive now to experience this momentous time so that you might be inspired to evolve and fulfill the purpose for which you were born.
We know those words may not make sense to many. Still, we also know that many of you who find your way here are beginning to understand our messages, and your acknowledgment of that fact to Roger is helpful to him, for he, like you, continually doubts his purpose. Now the beauty of that statement is that he has done this. And Roger knows now why doing so is meaningless. It causes him to come alive and fulfill his mission to help as many of you as possible recognize your worth and value and why you were born to be alive at this time.
We will also tell you that part of Roger’s restructuring is the same as yours and progresses in similar ways. Roger began “hearing” us far longer than what he can remember or acknowledge. But he does know he heard us and then continually attempted to ignore what he did hear, for he, again, like you, found it challenging to accept his role in the world. He knows everyone’s role is essential and necessary for his life’s evolution and contribution to the world. You each do contribute, whether you know that or not.
Roger is now faced with creating a page for his website, and “mysteriously,” the old verbiage has gone missing. When Roger discovered this last night, he knew it was a signal for change, and due to this restructuring, he sees his life differently as you might. We will give one story to cause more belief in you, hopefully. Last night before going to bed, Roger happened to see a post on Facebook from an associate who was questioning a quote from a speaker Roger had grown to admire. Still, this particular statement Roger disagreed with but neglected to leave a comment, and it has not left him, and we told him to go back today and make a comment.
The post intimated that a good person becomes one when they control their negative instincts. While all opinions are valid that one is not ours or Roger’s during this lifetime. You each have played different roles in different lifetimes, but you are meant to accept and live the one you were given now.
We told Roger decades ago that he came to be love this time. And we also told him it would be needed more at this time in your world. We know that you were all born benevolent beings, and you evolve when you begin to recognize this fact and live it fully. We know that is challenging for many, especially Roger, which is why he is now discovering why he was born, as will you with our help, and now you all will be fine.
Reflection Questions:
- What signals of change or restructuring are you experiencing in your own life right now?
- What inner guidance have you been hearing but perhaps ignoring?
- What might your specific purpose be during this time of global transition?
May 16, 2022
Things will go well. As you look at your world and life today, you might be tempted to think things are going in the wrong direction; however, you would be far from the truth. You are moving through a period of duality that is a necessary phase so that you might evolve and expand, as will your world.
It is much easier when you place your faith in belief rather than in fear, but those imposters always exist, and it will be up to you to decide which reality you will believe in for yourself, your world, and others. The one you want is the one that feels the best to you.
We have given you information to help you through this transition for the last dozen years or more, but we will take you to the one we gave you in 2013 as, again, we knew where you would be today. We hope we have stretched your imagination enough that you believe in yourself so much more, for that is the essence of the energy needed to shift the trajectory of your world, but your effort accelerates its pace.
We will explain more in our live conversation today. You will be fine.
Reflection Questions:
- Where are you placing your faith in fear rather than possibility?
- What reality are you choosing to believe in for yourself and the world?
- How might deeper belief in yourself help accelerate positive shifts in your life?
May 16, 2023
Guilt, shame, and embarrassment can be helpful. You came into the world to evolve and become more, and at times to accomplish your task, you will have momentary experiences of those states. They are meant to awaken you to a part of yourself you have denied, overlooked, or believed you didn’t possess. Much of the shame you brought with you as have all beings, but it will be specific to your physical life experience. When you seek to know why you feel shame, you might have difficulty identifying the cause. Still, during this time in your world, you will find it is generational, and you want to move beyond those limitations, which you can only achieve when you feel them emotionally, mentally, and sometimes physically. The guilt you might experience is due to you recognizing your reluctance to accept and love every aspect of yourself and your journey. The embarrassment you might feel indicates you are still too concerned with the opinions of others, and that has placed a stranglehold on your life and who you could become. When you become willing to embrace them all when they arise and, at that moment, raise your emotional vibration until they pass, you will have made a crucial step in your ascension journey. You might also experience much more of this playing out on your global stage, for you are in the midst of a restructuring. But it would help if you become willing to be all you can be, and those uncomfortable temporary states will help you evolve when you decide not to ignore them but turn them to your benefit, and that is how they can all be helpful. You have everything you need to manifest a beautiful life and world, and this week you will want to release the lower vibrational energies within yourself, the fruits of which will be reflected in your life and world.
Reflection Questions:
- What aspects of guilt, shame, or embarrassment might be pointing to parts of yourself needing acceptance?
- What generational patterns or limitations are you working to move beyond?
- How might embracing uncomfortable emotions rather than avoiding them support your evolution?
May 16, 2024
