Thematic Resonance in Wilhelm Messages

The May 4th Pattern: A Message Across Time

Over the last 17 years, Wilhelm has delivered a message on or around May 4th — and it’s never been random.

When we zoom out, a larger pattern becomes crystal clear. Each year, Wilhelm focused on a different theme of transformation — and together, they form a roadmap of personal evolution. Here’s what emerged:

---

Expansion and Growth
This is the heartbeat. From 2008 through 2016 — and then again in 2019 through 2025 — Wilhelm emphasized the importance of becoming more than who you think you are. Growth isn’t optional. It’s encoded in you.

Self-Belief and Worth
From 2010 onward, messages began to shift toward building inner trust. Especially after 2018, Wilhelm repeatedly called us to see our own value, to claim our voice, and stop seeking permission to exist.

Fear and Contraction
Occasionally, Wilhelm held up a mirror to our fear. In 2011, 2013, 2014 — and powerfully in 2022 — the message was clear: Your fear isn’t the problem. Your avoidance of it is. Transcendence begins when you’re willing to sit with what scares you.

The Power of Now
In 2008, 2010, 2013, and again in a powerful 2019 session — the message circled back to presence. Wilhelm reminded us that everything we need is already here. We’re not waiting for alignment. We are alignment.

Choice and Perspective
In scattered years like 2009, 2011, and 2017, Wilhelm emphasized the power of perception — that we are never victims of life, only participants in illusion until we remember to choose.

Contribution and Purpose
This theme surged in 2012, 2020, and again in 2025. Wilhelm asked us to remember our role in this restructuring world. Your purpose is not separate from your healing. It’s the outcome of it.

Abundance and Money
It took time for this to emerge, but by 2020 and 2023–25, Wilhelm began calling us into a new relationship with money — not as a goal, but as a reflection of how deeply we’re willing to receive.

Self-Love and Acceptance
Highlighted in 2009, 2013–14, 2020, and the last two years, Wilhelm pushed us to look inward. To stop seeking transformation from force, and instead root it in self-compassion.

Intuition and Inner Knowing
From 2012 onward, a subtle theme arose: You already know. You’ve always known. The task now is to stop doubting your knowing — and start acting on it.

Action and Manifestation
And yes, action matters. Especially in recent years (2016–2025), Wilhelm has made it clear: the time for waiting is over. Your desires are waiting for you to meet them with motion.

Exploring the Messages and Reflections

A. May 4, 2025: Belief, Potential, and Overcoming Challenges

Message Text (S_May_4_2025): “You will be ready to believe in yourself today. We know this passage in your life and world have been challenging but you’ve made it to this portal and you can succeed. None of you knew who you could become and our messenger didn’t realized he had taken from us a philosophy that can change your life and world. It would have been difficult for any of you to have appreciated our work as it’s never been done. There is perfect timing in your life and world and we wanted him to take our information to a much larger audience and he speak to millions tomorrow. Your logical mind will not be able to figure this out, but we want him and you to take the next step. None of you will have excuses after today.”

Context and Exploration: This message serves as a powerful call to self-belief, arriving at what is described as a pivotal moment or “portal” after a period of difficulty. It acknowledges past challenges while firmly stating the readiness for success and forward movement. The text suggests that the potential within each individual, and the philosophy being shared, surpasses prior understanding or logical grasp. There’s an emphasis on trusting a process that unfolds according to “perfect timing,” even when it defies conventional explanation. The message implies that limitations are often self-imposed (“excuses”) and that the present moment offers a distinct opportunity to transcend them by embracing belief and taking the “next step”. This resonates with the idea that overcoming external challenges often requires an internal shift towards trusting one’s inherent capabilities and the unfolding path, even when the full picture isn’t clear.

Reflection Questions:

• What challenges have I recently navigated, and how might this moment be a “portal” for me?
• Where do I feel ready to believe in myself more fully today? What does that belief empower me to do?
• What “next step” feels intuitively right for me, even if my logical mind doesn’t fully understand it? What excuses might I be letting go of?

B. May 4, 2008: Transcending Linear Time

Message Text (S_May_4_2008): “Your concept of time may be causing you more difficulty than you previously thought due to your habit of thinking of time in limited terms. When you accept the premise that linear time does not exist and all things are happening in your moment of now, you will open up many more possibilities of what you desire to create and manifest. You will notice that when you think of these things you desire and what it may take for you to create and manifest them, you will place a particular restriction on those creations in terms of how much “time” it will take. This is why creative visualization is so valuable for you; for in that process, you let go of those very restrictions. It would behoove you to use this practice in your process of creation and then notice your results.”

Context and Exploration: This message challenges the conventional understanding of linear time, proposing that viewing time as limited restricts creative potential. It posits that accepting the concept of an eternal “moment of now,” where all possibilities coexist, can dissolve self-imposed temporal limitations on manifestation. The difficulty arises from the habit of projecting desires into a future separated by a perceived duration, automatically imposing constraints on how quickly or easily something can be achieved. Creative visualization is presented as a tool to bypass these limitations, allowing the mind to experience the desired outcome now, free from the constraints of perceived time. This perspective suggests that limitations are often mental constructs tied to our perception of time, and shifting this perception can accelerate the creation process.

Reflection Questions:

• How does my perception of time influence my goals and desires? Do I often think, “That will take a long time”?
• What would it feel like to accept that everything is happening “now”? How might this change my approach to creating what I desire?
• Can I practice creative visualization today, focusing on the feeling of having already achieved a desire, without focusing on “how long” it will take?

C. May 4, 2009: Forgiveness as Self-Correction

Message Text (S_May_4_2009): “You are always only practicing forgiveness on yourself. When you use forgiveness, you simply acknowledge to the Universe that at that moment you have not seen perfection all around you. It is not that you, or anyone else, has done anything “wrong”, as you might term it, but merely you have yet to see the value and purpose of what is occurring. This is a purposeful process, for if you knew what that perfection was, from where you stand now in your limited perception and perspective, you would not be able to continually expand, which is always your intention. Your use of forgiveness will aid you in your development of faith and trust. You are always moving in the direction of your very own desires, however, you may not be able to see it in your now. Simply let go of your judgment and begin to fully trust the process.”

Context and Exploration: This message reframes forgiveness not as pardoning wrongdoing, but as an internal adjustment of perception. It suggests that the need for forgiveness arises when one fails to perceive the inherent “perfection” or underlying value and purpose in a situation, whether involving oneself or others. The act of forgiving, therefore, is primarily about releasing one’s own limited judgment and acknowledging a temporary inability to see the bigger picture. This inability is described as purposeful, linked to the ongoing process of expansion; if everything were instantly understood, the impetus for growth would cease. Forgiveness becomes a tool for developing faith and trust in the unfolding process of life, helping to release judgment and align with the inherent movement towards one’s desires, even when the path isn’t immediately visible. It shifts the focus from blame to perceptual limitation and trust.

Reflection Questions:

• Is there a situation or person (including myself) towards whom I feel a need for forgiveness?
• Can I reframe this situation not as something “wrong,” but as something whose value or purpose I haven’t fully perceived yet?
• How does practicing forgiveness in this way feel? Does it help me release judgment and cultivate more trust in my life’s process?

D. May 4, 2010: The Power of “Begin Again”

Message Text (S_May_4_2010): “Begin again. There is a feeling tone that resonates throughout your being when you utter those two simple words. It reminds you of your ability to live and create in your moment of now. It reminds you that your past is done and only has the meaning which you give it. It reminds you of your unlimited potential and essence to be, do, and have whatever you desire. There is nothing more powerful than you deciding to continually use those words in your very present to create the reality of the future you desire. It is only your own insistence of allowing what has already been to determine what is now or will be. You could even use those two words as your own personal chant and noticeably feel the exuberance they provide you in your now.”

Context and Exploration: The phrase “Begin again” is presented as a potent tool for accessing personal power and creative potential. Its strength lies in its ability to instantly refocus attention on the present moment – the only point where creation occurs. It serves as a reminder that the past holds only the significance assigned to it and does not need to dictate the present or future. By consciously choosing to “begin again,” one interrupts the pattern of allowing past experiences or perceived failures to define current possibilities. This simple declaration reconnects the individual with their inherent capacity (“unlimited potential and essence”) to shape their reality moving forward. The message emphasizes that continually adopting this mindset is a powerful act of self-determination, counteracting the tendency to remain anchored by what has already transpired. The suggested use as a “personal chant” highlights its potential to shift energy and evoke feelings of possibility and “exuberance”.

Reflection Questions:

• Where in my life do I feel stuck or defined by past events or patterns?
• What does the phrase “Begin again” evoke for me? Can I feel the shift in energy or perspective it offers?
• How can I consciously use “Begin again” today to release the weight of the past and embrace my creative power in the present moment?

E. May 4, 2011 & May 4, 2013: Understanding and Using Fear

Message Texts (S_May_4_2011, S_May_4_2013):

• May 4, 2011: “Your fear is never realized. You would do well to understand the deep meaning of that statement. While you go through your physical life experience, there are many things that you fear that appear before you. All of them however really relate to your greatest fear, and that is of your impending death which never actually occurs. It is not realistic for you to think that you will never have fears as you walk the physical plane, but you can choose to acknowledge and then use them for your benefit. Now since you know the greatest fear never happens, you can decide that the little fears, if you will, that show up are only there because your intention while in physical form was to overcome them. That is expansion.”
• May 4, 2013: “You only ever have the experience of fear when in your moment of now when you feel the fear, you are holding the belief that you are a physical being rather than remembering that you are a spiritual being. That concept can be very helpful for you when you are experiencing any manner of fear, but you will also probably not fully accept it as long as you are in physical form. That particular scenario however, is purposeful because the experience of the fear itself causes you to seek its relief, and that process requires you to remember your essence which is spiritual, and that is expansion. It would help you to remember those souls who have faced their physical death with no fear because they remembered.”

Context and Exploration: These two messages offer a layered perspective on fear. The 2011 message asserts that the ultimate fear – physical death – is based on a false premise, as death, in the sense of annihilation, “never actually occurs”. It suggests that all lesser fears are echoes of this fundamental one. While acknowledging that fear is a natural part of physical existence, it reframes fears not as threats, but as opportunities intentionally chosen for the purpose of overcoming them, which equates to expansion.

The 2013 message delves deeper, linking the experience of fear directly to identification with the physical body and forgetting one’s spiritual essence. When fear arises, it signals a moment where the belief in being solely physical is dominant. While full acceptance of one’s spiritual nature might be challenging while embodied, the experience of fear itself serves a purpose: it motivates the search for relief, which inevitably leads back towards remembering one’s true, spiritual self. This process of seeking relief and remembering is, again, defined as expansion. Both messages position fear not as something to be eliminated entirely, but as a catalyst for growth and a prompt to remember a larger reality. The reference to those who faced death without fear underscores the power of remembering this spiritual essence.

Reflection Questions:

• What fears are present in my life currently? Can I trace them back to a deeper, perhaps existential, fear?
• How does the idea that fears are opportunities for expansion, chosen by me, shift my perspective on them?
• When I feel fear, can I consciously try to shift my identification from just my physical self to my broader spiritual essence? What does that feel like?
• How can acknowledging fear, rather than resisting it, allow me to “use” it for my benefit, as suggested?

F. May 4, 2012: Contribution and Joyful Work

Message Text (S_May_4_2012): “Many times you have difficulty deciding on the work you desire to do while on the physical plane. Work, as it is used here, is referring to what is generally thought of as your occupation, profession, or whatever that is that provides you with the ability to take care of yourself and survive, but more importantly and above all else, provides you with the inner knowledge that you are making a contribution in some manner. The contribution itself is what causes your expansion as well as all others who come in contact with you on your journey. You always know internally what it is that provides you with the most joy and pleasure. Do that.”

Context and Exploration: This message addresses the common challenge of finding one’s path regarding work or occupation. It broadens the definition of “work” beyond mere survival or profession, emphasizing its role as a vehicle for making a contribution. The core value of work, from this perspective, lies in the inner knowing that one is contributing something meaningful. This act of contribution is identified as a primary driver of personal expansion and positively impacts others encountered. The guidance offered for navigating the difficulty of choosing this work is strikingly simple: identify what brings the most joy and pleasure internally, and pursue that (“Do that.”). This implies that joy and pleasure are reliable internal compass points indicating the direction of one’s most authentic and expansive contribution.

Reflection Questions:

• Beyond survival, what activities give me the feeling that I am making a meaningful contribution?
• What brings me the most genuine joy and pleasure?
• How closely aligned is my current work (paid or unpaid) with these sources of joy and contribution? What steps could I take to increase alignment?

G. May 4, 2014: Validating and Exploring Feelings

Message Text (S_May_4_2014): “Your feelings are valid, valuable, and hold much information for you when you allow yourself to experience them. You have spent a good amount of time throughout your physical life experience attempting to deny them, hold them in, or pretend that you are not feeling them. When you are engaging in that practice, you are also affirming that some aspect of you is “wrong”, and you begin to fear where you imagine those feelings might lead you, and you invalidate your own journey. There is no feeling that you have that is not worth exploring. You intended to discover and come to know your complete self, so it is not possible to accomplish that goal while cutting off, so to speak, what you are feeling. Your feelings are a part of the integrity of your physical life experience that you desire to trust.”

Context and Exploration: This message champions the acceptance and exploration of all feelings, positioning them as integral, informative, and valuable aspects of the human experience. It directly counters the common tendency to deny, suppress, or judge emotions. Engaging in such suppression is equated with self-invalidation, implying that some part of oneself is “wrong,” which can breed fear about the feelings themselves. The text asserts that the intention behind the life experience includes discovering the “complete self,” a goal unattainable if parts of one’s emotional landscape are disowned. Every feeling, therefore, is deemed worthy of exploration. Feelings are presented not as liabilities but as essential components of personal integrity and guides to be trusted on the journey of self-discovery. This encourages a shift from emotional resistance to emotional curiosity and acceptance.

Reflection Questions:

• Are there certain feelings I tend to deny, suppress, or judge within myself?
• What information might these feelings hold if I allowed myself to experience and explore them without judgment?
• How can I practice trusting my feelings today as valid and valuable parts of my experience?

H. May 4, 2015: Embracing Beginnings and Optimism

Message Text (S_May_4_2015): “You have only just begun. That is a very powerful sentiment for you to embrace as you embark on any new endeavor in your life experience regardless of what it may be or where you are in your life chronologically. That sentiment means that you know there is so much more to come; so much more you can and will do, and that your expansion is inevitable. This is indeed then the fountain of youth, if you will, because it keeps you focused on what is ahead instead of what has passed. There is a very powerful energy that always accompanies the beginning of anything and as you harness it you will accelerate that expansion. Optimism is a great virtue and goal for you to maintain.”

Context and Exploration: The phrase “You have only just begun” is offered as a mindset applicable to any stage of life or any new undertaking. Embracing this sentiment fosters a sense of ongoing potential and inevitable expansion, countering any sense of limitation based on age or past experience. It acts as a “fountain of youth” by directing focus towards future possibilities rather than dwelling on the past. The message highlights the unique, powerful energy inherent in beginnings and suggests that consciously harnessing this energy accelerates growth. Optimism is presented as a key virtue and goal, aligning with the forward-looking, potential-focused energy of new beginnings. This perspective encourages viewing life as a continuous series of opportunities for fresh starts and growth.

Reflection Questions:

• Regardless of my age or current situation, what new endeavor or aspect of my life can I view as “only just begun”?
• How does adopting this perspective shift my energy or outlook? Can I feel the “powerful energy” associated with beginnings?
• How can I cultivate more optimism and focus on potential in my daily life?

I. May 4, 2016: The Necessity of Thinking Bigger

Message Text (S_May_4_2016): “Think bigger. Those two words you would do well to keep in your thinking continually, and also use them as a sort of mantra or rallying call in your own thinking. You can use the quote you love from Napoleon Hill to illustrate the point in a different manner. Is was loosely stated that, “what a man can conceive he can achieve”. So now the opposite it true as well. What a man cannot conceive, he will not achieve. Now all this does not mean that you will absolutely manifest whatever you think about, but this is meant more to make you aware of how you have been limiting what you might manifest by thinking small. Thinking small never serves you or what you intended in this life, or anyone else.”

Context and Exploration: This message directly advocates for expanding one’s scope of thought: “Think bigger”. It suggests using this phrase continually, like a mantra, to counteract self-imposed limitations. Referencing the principle “what a man can conceive he can achieve,” it highlights the corollary: what cannot be conceived cannot be achieved. The core idea is that limiting thoughts (“thinking small”) directly restricts potential outcomes and manifestations. While not guaranteeing that every big thought will manifest, the message emphasizes that small thinking actively prevents larger possibilities from even being considered, let alone realized. It asserts that such limited thinking serves neither the individual’s purpose nor the greater good. The call is to consciously challenge and expand the boundaries of one’s own conceptions.

Reflection Questions:

• In what areas of my life might I be “thinking small”? Where have I placed limits on what I believe is possible for me?
• What would “thinking bigger” look like in those areas? What new possibilities open up if I allow myself to conceive them?
• How can I use “Think bigger” as a mantra today to challenge limiting beliefs?

J. May 4, 2017: The Power of Choice and Perspective

Message Text (S_May_4_2017): “You always have two choices available, and the choice that you make will profoundly affect the quality and nature of the personal reality you create for yourself. That sentence holds such gems for you when it is understood and embraced. Imagine yourself on a long road to a desired destination. You can look at the distance to go to reach the goal and feel that it is difficult or challenging, or you could look at the distance and see it as being so close, and then you feel motivated and excited to reach it. It is easy to feel the difference here between those choices. Now you can also examine any situation, event, or occurrence in your life and find what you think is good or bad about that. While you know those are subjective terms; you also know how they feel to you and how the choice you make will affect your future. Yes, those are the gems.”

Context and Exploration: This message underscores the fundamental power of choice in shaping personal reality. It proposes that in any situation, there are always at least two ways to perceive it, and the chosen perspective significantly impacts one’s experience and future. The analogy of the road illustrates this: viewing the remaining distance as difficult versus seeing it as close evokes vastly different feelings and motivations. This principle extends to evaluating any life event; one can focus on perceived “good” or “bad” aspects. While acknowledging the subjectivity of these labels, the message emphasizes the tangible difference in feeling associated with each choice and its subsequent effect on one’s trajectory. The “gems” lie in recognizing this power of perspective and consciously choosing the viewpoint that feels better and aligns with desired outcomes.

Reflection Questions:

• Consider a current situation or challenge. What are two different ways I could choose to view it?
• How does each perspective make me feel? Which feeling is more empowering or motivating?
• How can I consciously practice choosing perspectives that support my well-being and goals today?

K. May 4, 2018: From External Evidence to Internal Knowing

Message Text (S_May_4_2018): “Now you know for sure. That sentence is the one you are always seeking to speak, hold, and believe wholeheartedly. Many times to do so you require some physical evidence. When that evidence does show up, as it did for you recently, then you feel more assured to follow the direction your path has led you to walk. Now the next step that you desire to take in your life is to no longer rely on the physical evidence, but only your intuitive internal knowing. You do now feel more confident, which is what all of you want.”

Context and Exploration: This message addresses the human desire for certainty (“Now you know for sure”) and the common reliance on external validation or physical evidence to achieve it. It acknowledges that receiving such evidence can provide assurance and confidence to proceed on one’s path. However, it identifies the next stage of growth as moving beyond the need for external proof and learning to trust one’s “intuitive internal knowing” as the primary guide. While external validation can build initial confidence, the ultimate goal is to cultivate a deep reliance on inner guidance, independent of outward circumstances. This shift from external dependency to internal trust is presented as a key step in personal development, leading to a more inherent and stable sense of confidence.

Reflection Questions:

• Where in my life do I tend to wait for external validation or proof before trusting my own feelings or intuition?
• Can I recall times when my internal knowing guided me correctly, even without external evidence?
• What small step can I take today to practice trusting my intuition more, even if external circumstances seem uncertain?

L. May 4, 2019: Embracing Specificity and Humanity

Message Text (S_May_4_2019): “Acceptance and understanding of this message will aid you and others who choose to receive it, to fulfill your life purpose. We want you to deliver the details of what you heard in their entirety. We awakened you at 3:30 AM, and you kept hearing the word specific. Then, as we usually guide you, you searching the definition and then applied it to yourself. As you did that, you also knew more fully who you are. Then you came away with the title for this message, “you are specific and human.” You, my friend, were born to live this message and help others do the same. You noted to a friend that is was becoming almost painful to block this information. Now you see the human part, and the challenge you all have. You don’t want to appear different so, you try to fit in even though all of you were born specific. We know that is a strange usage of those words, but exactly how we want you to accept them. As you were attempting to read what you had written to type this message, you felt us take over your typing, and you can’t even read what you wrote. We did that because the human you still struggles to accept who you are. Another first for us! You “stumbled” upon a video this morning that stopped you in your tracks because the recognition you received was undeniable.”

Context and Exploration: This message centers on the concept of being “specific and human” as key to fulfilling life purpose. “Specific” points to the unique qualities, talents, and purpose inherent in each individual. “Human” refers to the common tendency to resist this specificity due to a desire to fit in and avoid appearing different. The narrative details the messenger’s own process of receiving and struggling with this concept, highlighting the internal conflict that arises from blocking one’s unique truth – a conflict described as “almost painful”. The message suggests that everyone is “born specific,” yet the “human challenge” is to overcome the fear of standing out. Acceptance involves embracing both one’s unique purpose and the shared human tendency towards conformity, ultimately choosing authenticity. The messenger’s experience of difficulty followed by undeniable recognition serves as an illustration of the journey towards accepting one’s specific nature.

Reflection Questions:

• In what ways am I unique or “specific”? Are there aspects of myself I downplay or hide to “fit in”?
• Where might I be experiencing internal conflict or “pain” from blocking my own truth, talents, or calling?
• How can I embrace both my specific uniqueness and my shared humanity more fully today? What does “being specific and human” mean for me?

M. May 4, 2020 & April 13, 2019: You Are Your Best Asset & Build It, They Will Come

Message Texts (S_May_4_2020, S_April_13_2019):

• May 4, 2020: “You are your best asset. Of course, we are speaking to you, meaning whoever is reading. The main difficulties your world experiences arise from not understanding that sentence. You live in a cooperative universe that only evolves and expands through the efforts and contributions of each individual. We have said this in many ways and will continue to do so until you “hear” it… Roger didn’t know if it would be well received or meaningful, which is what holds most of you back from realizing your best asset… It will be if Roger finishes, and you will realize and also cause great manifestations in your lives when you own your best asset, you. The only exception to this law of the universe only occurs when you think in a limited, untrue manner…” (References April 13, 2019 message)
• April 13, 2019: “If you build it, they will come. You kept hearing that sentence from a popular film, but couldn’t understand why it kept hanging around… you attempt to know the experience of the title of this message before you have done it. Now just go do it. You all know what this means for you individually… While process receiving this message, you noticed your scheduled day open up. And you knew that was so you have no excuses for not doing that thing you said you would do. You all create opportunities like this in your life, so the question will be if you decide to follow your own guidance.”

Context and Exploration: These messages powerfully converge on the theme of self-worth as the foundation for contribution and manifestation. The 2020 message declares unequivocally, “You are your best asset,” linking the understanding of this truth to overcoming personal and world difficulties within a “cooperative universe” that expands through individual contributions. It uses the messenger’s (“Roger’s”) example to illustrate how doubt about the value or reception of one’s contribution holds people back from realizing this inherent asset.

The referenced 2019 message reinforces this by invoking “If you build it, they will come,” urging action based on inner knowing before external validation is received. It directly addresses the tendency to wait for guaranteed success (“you attempt to know the experience… before you have done it”) and simply commands, “Now just go do it”. It highlights how opportunities often arise (like a cleared schedule) to support taking action on inner guidance. Together, these messages present a clear sequence: recognizing one’s intrinsic value (“best asset”) allows one to overcome doubt and take action (“build it”) based on inner guidance, trusting that the contribution will find its place and impact (“they will come”) within the cooperative universal structure. Acting from self-worth, without demanding prior proof, is presented as the key to unlocking manifestation and fulfilling one’s role in collective expansion.

Reflection Questions:

• In what ways do I recognize (or fail to recognize) myself as my “best asset”? Where does doubt hold me back from sharing my contributions?
• What is the “it” that I know internally I need to “build” or act upon, even without guarantees of success? (This connects to S_May_4_2012’s “Do that.”)
• How can I practice trusting the “cooperative universe” and take a step forward today based on my own value and inner guidance, even if I feel uncertain?

N. May 4, 2022 & May 29, 2020: The Core Challenge – Afraid to Love

Message Texts (S_May_4_2022, S_May_29_2020):

• May 4, 2022: “You are still afraid to love. We provided you with a message almost two years ago. It was to inform each of you why you were born and why you chose to be in the world now during a significant restructuring of your world. The restructuring is occurring within you as you had a desire you wanted to fulfill. We will leave the message, and you each will reflect upon it and the current events in your world, and you may find yourself and decide to love who you are. That’s why we gave you our program.”
• May 29, 2020: “You were afraid to love… Love is the most powerful force that exists. It is powerful because it does not restrict its energy… love is the absence of all judgment… The next thing to understand is you are all born benevolent beings, and when you stray from that understanding, you have conflicts because you have chosen not to be loving… If love is the most powerful energy, and you are not feeling powerful, you have been afraid to love yourself. If you think others have more than you, you have been afraid to love yourself. When you judge your life or experiences as bad, you believe yourself to be bad, so there is no love experience… Every experience you have in your life… all have the same purpose: to cause you to love yourself and, in turn, all others as you are all one.”

Context and Exploration: These messages identify a fundamental underlying challenge: being “afraid to love,” particularly oneself. The 2020 message, referenced in 2022, defines love as the most powerful, non-restrictive, expansive force, equating it functionally with “the absence of all judgment”. It posits that humans are inherently benevolent, and conflict arises from choosing not to be loving, primarily towards the self. This lack of self-love is directly linked to feelings of powerlessness, comparison, lack, and self-judgment (“believe yourself to be bad”). Crucially, it reframes all life experiences, regardless of how they are labeled, as having the singular purpose of guiding the individual back to self-love, which naturally extends to loving others (“as you are all one”). The 2022 message reiterates that this fear of self-love remains a core issue, connecting the process of overcoming it to the “significant restructuring” occurring both internally and externally. Self-love is thus presented not merely as a desirable state, but as the central key to unlocking personal power, resolving conflict, navigating life’s challenges purposefully, and participating consciously in collective evolution.

Reflection Questions:

• In what ways might I be “afraid to love” myself? Where do I practice self-judgment instead of self-acceptance?
• How does the definition of love as “the absence of all judgment” resonate with me? How could I apply this definition more fully to myself?
• Can I look at a challenging experience in my life through the lens that its ultimate purpose is to help me love myself more? How does this perspective change things?

O. May 4, 2024 & May 4, 2023: Abundance, Self-Worth, and Money

Message Texts (S_May_4_2024, S_May_4_2023):

• May 4, 2024: “Your potential for abundance is inherent. It is the journey of your soul, a path that you are destined to walk. However, it is crucial to acknowledge and embrace the person you have become, for it is this self-acceptance that paves the way for your desires to materialize. Should you find yourself in a state of lack, it is important not to judge yourself harshly. Remember, the journey towards abundance is a gradual one, both for you and your world. The wisdom we shared with you last year is even more relevant now, guiding you through this process of self-discovery and growth.”
• May 4, 2023: “Money will be your greatest challenge. Money in and of itself holds no intrinsic value except that which you give it. You do that by how much value you place upon yourself and how much you are willing to give and receive… You will experience a lack of money in your life when you deny who you are… that also requires shifting your consciousness to acceptance and deservedness. But you must also recognize you are moving through a generational shift… and you carry the limited beliefs and thoughts of all those who came before… This change can bring up thoughts of shame and embarrassment when you find yourself lacking, but it is also the perfect opportunity to shift that thinking… That occurs when you decide to love yourself and allow the energy of abundance to enter your consciousness.”

Context and Exploration: These messages directly address abundance, with a specific focus on money as a common challenge reflecting deeper issues. The 2024 message affirms that abundance potential is inherent, a soul journey. However, realizing this potential requires self-acceptance – embracing the person one has become is presented as the key that “paves the way for your desires to materialize”. It counsels against self-judgment during experiences of lack, framing the journey to abundance as gradual.

The 2023 message explains why money is a challenge: its perceived value is directly tied to the value placed upon oneself and one’s willingness to give and receive. Lack is explicitly linked to denying one’s true self (“deny who you are”) and requires a conscious shift towards “acceptance and deservedness”. This message introduces the significant factor of inherited generational beliefs about lack, adding complexity to the required shift in consciousness. Yet, even feelings of shame around lack are reframed as a “perfect opportunity” for transformation. Ultimately, allowing abundance is directly connected to the decision to “love yourself”, reinforcing the central role of self-love explored elsewhere. Financial reality is thus presented as a mirror reflecting internal states of self-worth, self-acceptance, deservingness, and self-love, potentially influenced by ancestral patterns that need conscious attention.

Reflection Questions:

• How does my current financial situation reflect my beliefs about my own value, worthiness, and deservingness?
• In what ways do I embrace (or judge) the person I have become? How might deeper self-acceptance open the door to greater abundance?
• Are there any beliefs about money or lack that I might have inherited from my family or ancestors? How can I begin to shift limiting thoughts towards a consciousness of abundance and self-love?

Conclusion: The Ongoing Practice of Expansion

The Wilhelm messages, viewed collectively, map out a coherent philosophy centered on continuous personal expansion fueled by inner shifts in perception and belief. They consistently emphasize the power residing within the individual – the power to redefine time, to transform fear into a catalyst, to find purpose in joy, to choose empowering perspectives, and fundamentally, to cultivate self-love and self-acceptance as the bedrock for abundance and fulfillment.

The reflection questions offered alongside these messages are intended as starting points for an ongoing dialogue with oneself. These are not concepts to be mastered intellectually in a single reading, but rather perspectives to be lived, explored, and integrated over time. The journey described is one of remembering inherent worth, trusting inner guidance over external validation, and embracing the fullness of the human experience – including its challenges – as purposeful opportunities for growth.

Returning to these themes and reflections regularly can illuminate different facets as personal understanding deepens and life circumstances evolve. The core invitation remains consistent: engage honestly with your inner world, cultivate trust in the process, embrace your unique self, and consciously participate in your own inevitable expansion. This ongoing practice is presented as the pathway not to a final destination, but to an ever-unfolding, richer experience of life.
