Wilhelm’s Wisdom: Annual Messages with Reflection Questions
“Nothing in your life or world happens accidentally, as there is order in the universe.”
— Wilhelm, May 8, 2025
May 8, 2025: A New Portal
We wanted you and your world to survive and thrive. Our messenger knows that whenever we use the pronoun “we” in a title, it is one to pay attention to, as you are about to move through another portal.
Nothing in your life or world happens accidentally, as there is order in the universe. During times of global transformation, there are some of you who bring greater awareness, like our messenger and Copernicus. The rest of you eventually understand. We hope for many of you that it is today, as the minds of many in your world are finally offering the contrast you wanted to become your authentic selves.
There are cycles of energy that affect your world, and we have provided guidance on every one. We will again begin with 2008.
It is time for you each to take the next step, including our messenger. He has demonstrated the healing power of our work but has not allowed himself to prosper after spending his life bringing this work to your world.
You will now understand why we have spoken of money and the shift of abundance intended for this time, and we want him to be the example.
Reflection Questions:
- What portals have you moved through in your life that have transformed your awareness?
- How might you be resisting prosperity while helping others?
- What contrast in your life is helping you become more authentic?
- How do you recognize cycles of energy affecting your life?
May 8, 2008: Letting Go of Ego
What you have come to think of as your “ego” is merely an alternate personality that you constructed because you felt that you needed to be guided or protected in this life.
That presupposes the idea that there is some place you need to be guided to or protected from.
The need for an ego becomes nonexistent as you grow in your awareness.
When you understand you are always safe and that you have already arrived at your destination, you let go of your self-imposed prison, which you have called the ego.
Simply let it go.
Reflection Questions:
- In what ways have you constructed an alternate personality for protection?
- What would change if you truly believed you were always safe?
- Where in your life do you feel you “haven’t arrived yet”?
- What one aspect of your ego could you practice letting go of today?
May 8, 2009: Beyond “Good Enough”
You can do nothing to cause yourself to be “good enough”.
You have spent much of your lifetime trying to accomplish this task, and its premise is incorrect. You were born an unlimited, joyous, happy, and abundant being, with everything at your disposal. You then began to learn that there were particular things you must do to experience this. You had to do good things to be rewarded. You had to work hard to experience abundance. You had to be selfless to experience love. All these things are already part of your nature now.
When you attempt to “make” them your reality, you are actually at cross purposes, for you have, on some level, accepted that you are not “good enough.” Therefore, that will be your reality, and you will always prove yourself correct with the situations and events you allow to come into your life experience.
Decide to experience the wholeness of who you are in your every moment of now. Good was simply a value judgment you accepted, and you can let it go.
Reflection Questions:
- What activities or achievements do you believe will finally make you “good enough”?
- How has the belief that you’re not good enough shaped your reality?
- What would change if you accepted that you were born unlimited and abundant?
- In what ways can you practice experiencing your wholeness today?
May 8, 2010: Life as Adventure
Everything you do is an adventure. If you were to take that positive attitude and frame of mind and apply it to whatever you attempt to accomplish, you would have much more fun in the process.
There are so many tasks, chores, goals, and things you desire to do in your physical life experience; however, your approach and attitude often make them laborious and treacherous. Your intention was to always have fun, for you knew that the sense of adventure would spur you on to new discoveries, greater awareness, and knowledge, all of which are the expansion you desired. The opposite of all of it is fear, and that will halt your decision to have your adventure. Choose differently.
Reflection Questions:
- What task or chore could you reframe as an adventure today?
- How does fear prevent you from embracing life’s adventures?
- What new discoveries have your recent challenges led you to?
- What would your life look like if fun became your primary intention?
May 8, 2011: Attraction for Expansion
You attract into your physical life experience precisely what you desire to cause yourself to expand. This is another way of looking at your life and removing any tendency to feel like a victim of your own experience.
While you may say there are many things, events, situations, circumstances, and even people you would never desire to attract. Still, all of them, without question, caused you to have some reaction, and any reaction awakens your awareness, which is indeed expansion.
You can look back at many events in your life and see the evidence of this. Although it may not have felt like expansion to you at the time, that is precisely what occurred.
Reflection Questions:
- What challenging situation in your life has ultimately led to your growth?
- How might your current difficulties be serving your expansion?
- In what ways have you viewed yourself as a victim rather than a creator?
- What would change if you saw every experience as something you attracted for your expansion?
May 8, 2012: Integrity as Guide
Integrity is indeed the force that guides your entire physical life experience. You would do well to study the meaning of the word itself more to understand its application to your life.
You only ever experience fear or anxiety when you do not trust the integrity of your life experience. You also have difficulty with some of this process because you attempt to judge what is occurring in your life with your limited awareness.
When you notice this fact, you will, in turn, develop more faith and trust in whatever is occurring. This development of faith and trust means you know all things are working for your highest good and expansion.
Reflection Questions:
- What does integrity mean to you beyond simply being honest?
- Where in your life are you experiencing fear or anxiety due to lack of trust?
- How might your judgment of situations be limited by your awareness?
- What would change if you trusted that all things are working for your highest good?
May 8, 2013: Becoming Authentic
The only goal you have or ever have had is becoming you. You have thought of this often but would do well to continually think of it.
You are always attempting to become authentic, for being authentic is becoming you, which is the entire process of expansion. You always come to know this eventually, especially when you decide to leave your physical body, but if you decided to seek to know it while in physical form, you would have so much more fun and enjoy the journey.
Every unhappiness, sadness, and depression you experience is caused by your attempt to not be you. That statement may sound “crazy” to you, but when you examine it deeply you will find its truth. When you are not comparing yourself to anyone else, or some made up ideal, or any idea of “should be”, you are becoming you.
Reflection Questions:
- In what ways are you attempting to not be yourself?
- What comparisons or “should be” ideas are preventing your authenticity?
- What parts of yourself have you denied or suppressed?
- How might your moments of unhappiness be connected to inauthenticity?
May 8, 2014: Ending the Insanity
You have been practicing insanity in your physical life experience. That statement is based on the very popular cultural definition of insanity which is, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
You have heard this many times, but also glossed over it, so to speak, and have not been willing to apply it to every aspect of your life. You only ever experience any manner of frustration with your current station in your life, or where you think you are, because you have been indeed practicing this.
The reason you do practice it is because you have allowed fear to actually dictate your actions and thoughts, and then you lose trust and faith in your own ability to create the life experience you desire. This may all feel like a reprimand, which was intended, but also to serve as loving motivation.
Reflection Questions:
- What patterns or behaviors do you repeat while expecting different results?
- How has fear dictated your actions and thoughts?
- Where have you lost trust in your ability to create your desired life?
- What one change could you make today to break a pattern of “insanity”?
May 8, 2015: Service to Others
There is no more noble goal you could have and maintain than that of being of service. While noble is a subjective word, you do know what it means to you.
The first thing to know is that being of service to others is always being of service to you, for you are all one. When you consider the needs, desires, wants of others, and even difficulties others may encounter, you find information, solutions, and healing for yourself as well. There is no way that this does not occur.
Now as you think of this, also think of it in reverse and the same will be true. When you decide to withhold, be selfish and keep your wisdom and knowledge from others, you actually cause yourself to have less. And yes, that even refers to your own abundance.
Reflection Questions:
- How are you currently being of service to others?
- In what ways have you experienced healing while helping others?
- Where might you be withholding your wisdom or gifts?
- How could expanding your service create more abundance in your life?
May 8, 2016: Going All In
You have developed a habit of doing things partially in your life. Study the definition of the word partially and this message will make more sense to you. It is not possible for you to do anything partially and then expect to receive the desired results. This also does not mean that you cannot do several different things in your life as you have observed in others, but when you decide to do whatever it might be, it would be wise to go all in.
It is also important for you to understand why you developed this habit. You thought that if you operated in this manner it would provide you with a sense of safety because if things did not turn out well or how you expected, you would not be disappointed because you only did it partially. In capital letters: YOU DID NOT INTEND TO LIVE PARTIALLY.
Reflection Questions:
- Where in your life are you only partially committed?
- How has partial commitment been a safety mechanism for you?
- What would it look like to “go all in” on something important to you?
- What fears arise when you consider fully committing to your desires?
May 8, 2017: Little Moments of Appreciation
Little moments of appreciation of something you have accomplished can be vital to the expansion you seek. Because they are little moments, they are easy for you to miss.
You had one of those last night. You felt as if you were being judged for a decision you made, but the judgment itself had little effect on you. Please notice that little moment because it indicates that you decided to trust yourself and your intuition.
It also meant that you know the direction you are heading in your life is the one you truly desired, and you also knew you are on the path that will lead you there. It is not possible for another to fully know your path, and you cannot fully know theirs. Small steps turn into big leaps.
Reflection Questions:
- What little moment of accomplishment could you appreciate today?
- When have you recently trusted yourself despite outside judgment?
- How do these small moments confirm you’re on your desired path?
- What small step could you take today that might lead to a big leap?
May 8, 2018: Success is Inevitable
Success is inevitable is a sentiment that came back to you after your experience yesterday. First of all, when you examine that first sentence, attempt to think of it in terms of your entire life.
Now, the experience you had was an emotionally difficult confrontation which triggered memories within you of past painful experiences, but as you see them now they make sense, and you begin to understand why you had the experiences themselves.
The power of this moment was realized for you when you recognized the previous experiences were due to beliefs you held about yourself. Because you were determined to evolve and have done so, your success is indeed inevitable because now you know you have the power to change.
Reflection Questions:
- What if success truly is inevitable for you? How would that change your outlook?
- What painful experiences now make sense as part of your evolution?
- Which beliefs about yourself have created challenging experiences?
- How has your determination to evolve proven your power to change?
May 8, 2019: Big Brother is Watching
Yes, big brother is watching you and when you understand who that might be and why that feeling is occurring, you will gain mastery in your life.
Your morning will serve as a brilliant example of how this works. You went to your computer and instead of you being able to start your day as usual, you had to perform an update. Now this caused you to use your phone to listen to your morning inspirations. Then “magically” you were led to something that provided you with more validation of who you are.
Now you know the value of going with the flow. Now you know the meaning of divine timing. Now you know the experience of ask and it is given. All these occurrences were to get you to finally know that the big brother that you and all others feel who might be watching is you.
Every time you read this, clarity will ensue.
Reflection Questions:
- How might you be the “big brother” watching yourself?
- When has an interruption to your plans led to something better?
- What examples of divine timing have you experienced recently?
- How might “going with the flow” bring you greater mastery?
May 8, 2020: Your Worth and Money
This message might be a bit lengthy, but for those of you who take the time to decipher what we are about to give you, you might alter the trajectory of your life. It took a while for this message to come through. For as we have mentioned before, Roger has had difficulty speaking about money. You each entertain that challenge in different ways, but only for one reason. That reason is you have not yet ascertained your worth.
In December 2019, we gave you a message, The Courage to Be Rich. We will post that here as it is quite lengthy as well, but when you study them together, illumination will occur. The dates are significant, so you might understand and accept how you have allowed linear time to operate in your lives. You need not understand that now.
In the December message, we told Roger what would occur if he were to heed our advice. “Reluctantly,” he attempted to believe us. Then in February, Roger met his mentor. Roger then felt his permission to be himself and began operating in that manner. Then in March, your world dramatically shifted as the effects of the pandemic took hold. Many felt the loss of all manner of wealth and abundance. Roger, on the other hand, began to notice a shift in his finances, which is why he didn’t want to speak on it now. Roger has always been sensitive to the feelings and emotions of others, but he has taken it to an extreme level where he denies his worth.
This morning we led him to a video where he was told it was his “responsibility” now to help others accomplish what he has. Our program, (Empowerment Made Simple) will accomplish this for him and many of you. There is more to come, but his should suffice for now as you have much to study.
Side note. We told Roger to deliver our message of a few days ago to his family, which he did. The results were healing. Now we are telling him to relate the messages to the people with whom he counseled last night. Clay is a gifted filmmaker, Alan has a valuable story, and Stan will continue our work.
December 11, 2019
Money is not a subject Roger typically discusses, and we had to trick him into doing so today. You all hold various ideas about money, and some we will dispel today. This morning we had Roger glance over his shoulder to notice a program from Suze Orman with the title of this message. The program has been sitting there for years in cassette form, and Roger gave it no attention until now.
As you know, money is energy, and you each direct that energy in specific ways to aid you in your lives to come to know who you are. You each come to understand that at some point. The difficulty some of you have is equating your value to how much money you currently possess. Roger wanted to know his value on the earth was not predicated on how much money he had, so he continually got rid of it. He accomplished this in clever and mostly unconscious ways. Roger even sold part of his business and work, partially due to his lack of appreciation of his worth. That particular syndrome is one many of you have, especially those of you who think you can’t be “spiritual” and rich. The opposite is true.
Years ago, we had Roger listen to an audio book by Wallace Wattles entitled, “The Science of Getting Rich.” The principles we are speaking on now were included there. Then we had Roger live in a home across the street from a park named after Wallace, but still, Roger did not assimilate this until last night.
In preparation for a meeting today, Roger reviewed a folder on his computer that contained testimonials. They were from those who he has either worked with or others merely expressing their gratitude for his work. Suddenly Roger recognized his worth. Now he knows that is what he wants for all, so today we took that title, and turned it around for him. Roger, you have a duty to be rich to accomplish your goal.
Reflection Questions:
- How might you be undervaluing your worth in relation to money?
- In what clever or unconscious ways do you “get rid of” money or abundance?
- What beliefs do you hold about spirituality and wealth?
- How might becoming more abundant help you better serve others?
May 8, 2021: Value Yourself More
Value yourself more. We are speaking to every person, for that was the mission of anyone who decided to be born. You intended to become more, and in even a very mundane way, you can notice the value you might have gained simply by living your lives, but at times you are the ones who do not recognize what you have accomplished.
You are moving through a massive restructuring to provide you with the opportunity to value yourself more. Many of you can recognize the tremendous urge you have felt over more than the last year to become more in some way.
We will use the idea of money for it is the perfect topic for today as Roger has a webinar later entitled “How can I earn more money,” so of course, we gave him two incidents to illustrate the point. Not all of you will use money as the measuring stick for your worth, as you may use some other form, but you do use something.
Yesterday Roger received an email from someone asking for a refund for a subscription they forgot to cancel. What was evident to Roger was first the fact that the amount he charged for this product was undervalued, to begin with, but Roger was the one who set that up. So the way he can earn more money is to stop setting his standards so low. The same is true for you in the area of your life where you have undervalued yourself.
Another incident was discovering another taking advantage of a privilege Roger had granted them, which had a monetary cost. Hence, the way Roger can earn more money in this instance is not to give away those privileges.
You each have issues of worth, as you may think of them, but you were meant to have them. We will leave you with the question you are being asked during this restructuring, and you will answer it in a manner that will not only cause you to value yourself more but also all those who came before you and those who will come after. If you don’t value yourself more, how could you expect that from others?
Reflection Questions:
- In what specific ways have you set your standards too low?
- Where might you be giving away your privileges or value without appropriate compensation?
- What measuring stick do you use for your worth besides money?
- If you valued yourself more, how might it affect those around you?
May 8, 2022: Time to Know
It was time for you to know. We said those words to Roger when we woke him at 4 a.m. to give you all this message. As we have also said, you are moving through a massive restructuring in your world. So naturally, it would be occurring in each of you. Some of you might even feel it in your physical bodies since they are changing as well, as you are all ascending as your world.
Roger has a habit of denying what he has been given, as you have done. And this time in your world was meant to awaken you and hopefully alleviate your restrictions from becoming the best people you could be in this life.
Yesterday Roger began writing his mini-biography. He thought mindlessly; it was not that. We directed it, and then this morning, we had him go to a video of a recording of his Akashic record reading in December. Everything we have said about our program was validated in that video, and he couldn’t see it before as you have not seen what is within you or embraced your gift. Recognizing what he possessed and the value it held he could not embrace brought him to tears.
Then, there was a video discussion with the client on the same subject who spoke of her results, and Roger expressed his doubt. You each have done that. Now is the time, especially this weekend, when you’re meant to let that go. We advised Roger to create a little video to expose himself and become vulnerable, as you might do as well.
Now is when you let go of your restrictions, let go of your denial of who you are, and finally decide to do so; you can ascend to be that person you were meant to be in this world and aid your world in doing that. You will be fine.
Reflection Questions:
- What gifts have you been denying or undervaluing?
- How might vulnerability help you embrace your true worth?
- What restrictions have you placed on yourself that limit your becoming?
- If you fully let go of denial about who you are, what might become possible?
May 8, 2023: Love Yourself, Change Your World
When you love yourself, your world will change. We mean both your world and the collective. It is the reason you are alive now. You effect that change energetically by how much you are willing to own who you are and accept all past experiences as building blocks to your future.
As you examine your life and world today, you will understand why we provided the message we did in 2012. You are more awakening now to interpret and accept what we gave you. The definition of integrity we wanted you to find was the one that made you feel your inherent importance and the purpose of your life experience.
Reflection Questions:
- How do your acts of self-love create changes in your external world?
- What past experiences are you still resisting as building blocks?
- What would it mean to fully own who you are right now?
- How has your understanding of personal integrity evolved since 2012?
May 8, 2024: Beyond Self-Judgment
Self-judgment halts your progression. That is always the case as you move through your ascension journey, for you constantly discover and own your authentic self. Yet understanding this process is far more critical now as you decided to live during a planetary restructuring.
You moved through another portal yesterday, and the message we provided a year ago on this day, along with our live conversation yesterday, will aid you in taking the next step and loving yourself even more.
-Wilhelm
Reflection Questions:
- How does your self-judgment specifically halt your progression?
- In what ways are you participating in the planetary restructuring?
- What would loving yourself even more look like in your daily life?
- What portal might you be moving through in your personal journey?
“When you love yourself, your world will change. We mean both your world and the collective. It is the reason you are alive now.”
