Offerings of Gratitude

Dear Friends, I am now sharing with all of you a special message from the Archangel Michael that I channeled a few years ago that applies even more today than ever before. I published this message in chapter 6 of my self-published book 'The Teaching of Archangel Michael: A Handbook for Humanity.' If you have the book then you can read the full message of what came before and after these teachings. Also published in the book is a step by step outline of the very simple yet profoundly powerful ritual/ceremony that Archangel Michael describes in this message. If you do not have the book and would like to order a copy please go to my online webstore at www.QuestingSpiritWebstore.com

In this message, Archangel Michael reveals to us that we are all needing to do ceremony as a part of our daily lives in order to restore balance once again. According to the angels, things are really out of balance right now in our culture and in our world, and this indicates an imbalance within us. AA Michael describes this as the imbalance between our giving and receiving, and in this message provides a detailed ceremony that he recommends we all do as many times as needed for bringing our inner masculine and feminine, our giving and receiving back into balance. In the process/ceremony that Archangel Michael gives us there is one thing that stands out to me as the key to the success of the ritual---GRATITUDE. As we see in this sacred ceremony, it is gratitude that opens our hearts and makes all things possible.I encourage you all to seek the guidance of the Angels, Guides, & Masters working with you in your life, as they can help to bring us peace, balance, and certainty during these uncertain times. Be grateful for all the blessings in your life and the role that these wonderous beings play in helping to bring those blessings about.Blessings of Love, Light, & Gratitude,
Rev. Ana Jones

Message from Archangel Michael
Balancing Our Giving & Receiving through Offerings of Gratitude

"Adonai Elohim Adonai, Elohim, Adonai, Elohim. It is I the Archangel Michael that speaks these sacred words. I resonate and vibrate these two sacred names of God for you to hear at this time and for those vibrations to be felt within your heart. These are two names of innumerable names that represent and call upon directly the one true infinite source of all sources, cause of all causes, the one true being of all beings, essence of all that is divine, God of all forms and of all creations.

I start this message with the Adonai Elohim chant because you ask me for a meditation. You ask me to continue in my message about ceremony and ritual and this is the first part of the meditation that I will give you, the first part of a practice in which I encourage you to do, each and every human being upon this planet. I encourage this practice every day of your lives: a ritualistic ceremonial practice, a meditative practice of reciting aloud and silently. Chanting, harmonizing, toning, repeating, stating whatever holy name of the Divine that speaks to you, that connects you. Repeating it again and again and again as a way of keeping you connected in this time.

This Age in which you find yourself living is the age of winter, the age of darkness, the age of the decline of consciousness also known as the Iron Age. Also known as the Age of Kali, the goddess who oversees life, creation and destruction. In this age, as I have spoken, there is a decline of consciousness, a decreasing, a waning of the light that is natural in this age, similar to the time period in winter. It is a natural age just as there are seasons of the day, seasons of the moon, seasons of the year, seasons of one’s life.

The ages that the earth goes through is also broken down in similar seasons that cover and expand over vast time periods. This season, this age that humanity finds itself in began only 5000 years ago and extends many thousands of years still into the future. Similar to the winter it is the time of the waning of the light, like the winter solstice. The time of the waning of the light, but also considered to be a very auspicious time for great growth and great expansion to take place. A time where it is more needed than ever that the light be generated, called upon, and invoked. The work of raising one’s consciousness is be the most important, great work, and in this age, this season, it has just begun. You have not even reached the time period of the greatest waning which the new moon and the winter solstice represents. If you think of the energies of the new moon and you think of the energies of the winter solstice you will understand what the energies of this age are and of what is still to come.

The practices of regular ritual, ritual that is intentional, focused with intention to continue to generate light and to raise consciousness and to connect you are very important. In previous ages, such as the Golden Ages, it has been incredibly easy for those who lived to maintain consciousness and awareness. Incredibly easy to maintain connection and awareness of your interrelations with all things and with us and your most important relationship of all, to The Divine, one, true God of all being, of all faiths.

It is possible and it is ordained for there to be a Golden Age within this age, for there to be a Golden Age within the Age of Iron, a summer within the winter. Many light workers, many healers, many teachers, many ministers and many people of all faiths all over the world are acting and serving and working in the truth of that one true light. The one true light that does not exclude anyone but includes all, working within it, as part of the Golden Age within this Iron Age.

The few years between now and the year 2012 are vitally important in the creation of the Golden Age. Setting the structure, setting the foundation for that to be. You will not see it manifest during this time. Think of it as if you are building it from the foundation and you are building it on the etheric level. Think of it as an umbrella within the storm which many, many will come to know and come to experience. But the age of Kali, this Iron Age, this winter that you are finding yourself in, this winter of consciousness, this waning of the light, it is yet increasing and will continue to increase as well. The effects on all of you, even those reading this who have been on a spiritual path for a long time, the effects of this will be very powerful and can be very deceiving and very deluding. This is the reason why I repeatedly, again and again, tell you the importance of daily spiritual practice, of daily ritual, of ceremony, of meditation and of prayer.

Meditation and prayer are easy places to begin and start out with for daily practice. However, it does take commitment and dedication for there will be all things that can deter you. Everything possible that can deter you from that practice will come along your path from time to time. This is the reason why ceremony and ritual are also important as a way of focusing that prayer and meditation and also as a way to continue to dedicate yourself to your regular practice and to your visions and your purpose in life.

I encourage you to do dedication ceremonies, ceremonies where you dedicate your intentions and powerfully state your will. One powerful dedication ceremony that is performed regularly amongst all the human race is the wedding ceremony. It is when two people dedicate themselves to one another. Dedicate their intentions and make vows to one another. Ceremonies like this are not intended to just be performed only once in a couples life. Nor is it to be the only type of dedication ceremony that one will experience in ones life, for there are so many other things that you need to dedicate yourselves to. Open your creativity to where you have the creative flow coming through, the intuition coming through because you will need to create some of these rituals and ceremonies for yourselves. You will not find them in a book, you will not find them being offered by others though there are those teachers and ministers who are being called to create new ceremonies and new rituals in order to serve the needs of the people during this modern age.

Ceremonies that dedicate yourself to your higher purpose, to your higher calling, to your great work even if you do not know what that is, you begin by doing a ceremony of dedicating yourself to know your great work and to live that and to do that no matter what it takes. Simply doing a ceremony where THAT is your dedication, where THAT is the vow you make. And doing that and making that vow and coupling that with the making of an offering in whatever way is right. It can be through an offering of lighting a candle, or an offering of something that you give to the earth. Anything that comes from your heart and has meaning and symbolism to you and whose symbolism has deep meaning that speaks deep into your unconscious mind will be valuable. The power of what you set into motion will be beyond what your comprehensive mind will be able to comprehend and understand. You will set energies into motions. Do dedication ceremonies for anything that you wish to dedicate yourself to, for anything in which you are struggling with. You can use journaling as a tool to help you get clear on what it is that you want to say and want to dedicate yourself to.

Also important in addition to dedication ceremonies are purification ceremonies and rituals that help to give back and balance the great imbalance that exists between so much of human kind and the earth. There is a sacred law, a natural law, a universal law, that all must live within. And that is in order for all things to be in balance there must be a balance of giving and receiving. That which you give and that which you receive must be kept in balance. This balance has been thrown off now for quite some time and will intensify during this age of which I am speaking. This imbalance will intensify unless you do some form of ritual, prayer, or meditation regularly. Focus your will and your intention on being in balance and bringing this imbalance of that which is given and that which is received back into harmony once again.

One of the ways in which this can be done, and there are many ways, is through simple rituals where you offer back something to the earth for all that you have received. You may not necessarily think that you receive much or that you take much from the earth, but the modern lives in which most of the people listening to this and who will come into contact with these words, the modern lives which you lead takes great amounts from the earth, each and every one of you. In order for this balance to be restored, you must give back. It doesn’t have to be great things at first, but small things done in a great way. For the healing and the restoration and also the creation of the Golden Age within this Iron Age depends upon not necessarily what you do, but how you do it, the consciousness in which you do it. Small things done in a great way with great intention, with great love, with great sincerity, with great compassion will have just as much an effect as any large thing that you could do or offer.

I say 'that you could do,' because it is also a possibility that you are offering back your ritual as an action in the world. An action that you choose to take for your rituals can very well be actions that you choose to take to serve this world. But there also needs to be the other types of rituals, the small offerings. So what I am going to do, is outline for you a ritual that you can do, that anyone can do and encourage anyone and everyone who hears of this ritual to do it once, twice, as much as you like, as much as you can whenever you feel you need it.

There is preparation for this ritual. First and foremost the intention of this ritual is to bring you back into balance, to bring this imbalance that I have been speaking of back into harmony once again. To bring you into balance with remembering who you are, with remembering what you need to remember. And to bring you into balance with your dharma, your purpose within this age. Each of you hearing this message or who may read these words from this message or are coming across this, it is being brought into your path because you have a specific role and purpose that you are playing within this age for the creation of the Golden Age within the Iron Age. It will also align you with Divinity in such a way that can bring you great insight, vision, and intuition.

For preparation, first begin with the day before choosing to do this ritual. The day before fast from all foods except fruits and vegetables that are raw and super fresh and alive. Begin also the day before by bathing or showering oneself in Rose water. Also do this on the day you do the ritual, before performing the ritual. Rosewater can be pre-made or rosewater can be made simply through soaking rose petals in water. The day of performing the ritual, bathe yourself in this rosewater and apply to all of the energy centers of your body, the essence or essential oil of angelica or white angelica. Wear the color of white as your dominant color of clothing, but pick any other color that connects to you that may have meaning or purpose to you that you would also add as an accent. And pick ahead of time a power place for you, preferably a place where all of the elements are present: earth, air, water, and fire. And if it is a place where you cannot have fire or build fire, do the ceremony during the day on a day in which the sun is high in the sky and the fire is there present in the light of that sun. Doing it in a power place also is important and anytime that you can do this ceremony at a time that is in alignment with sacred time, sacred times for the earth or sacred high holy days attributed to religious spiritual days, special days of significance. Equinoxes, solstices, new moons, full moons, eclipses, as well as any other significant holy days. Any day will work for this ritual, but to get the most effect of it, align yourself with a sacred space and sacred time. It may also be a sacred time for you such as a birthday, an anniversary, an anniversary of a passage or a transformation, or anniversary of a death. It may also be a sacred time for you personally, anything that makes it sacred to you. Take with you offerings, an offering for the earth, for the air, for the fire, for the water.

For the water take sea salt, for the earth take cornmeal, for the air take a feather to be offered to the air and for the fire take wood, wood that you have chosen specifically as an offering and that you offer with specific intentions of gratefulness and thankfulness.

One of the main things that you also need to give back is your gratitude. When these things are offered, when you go to the sacred space, on this sacred time, with these offerings, offer them to the earth, air, fire, and water with great gratitude for all that you have received. Offer them with humility, with gratitude, with compassion, with love. Be truly thankful for the many blessings in your life and the complete interdependence of all of those blessings and the very fact that your life is dependent upon the earth and the air and the fire and the water.

Then also take an offering for all of the angels and guides that work in your life. For all of the angels and guides that are in a relationship with you that are constantly there in your company, in your presence at all times, being with you, loving you, working with you side by side. Doing with you, not for you, but with you, as your constant companions in the spiritual world. Take an offering and offer it with the same gratitude of giving something back, with the same attitude of gratitude, thankfulness, appreciation, humility and love. Let that offering be whatever speaks to you. It could be a crystal or a stone of some kind. It could be anything that represents that to you but make sure it is not anything that will harm the earth, as you will be leaving this offering behind. You will not take it back with you for you must give something here. Make sure it is something natural and pure. For that is what the nature of our relationship is with you and that is the nature of who we are. Our nature is natural and pure. In fact we are known, we are recognized through our purity, through our clarity. So remember that in the choosing of your offering.

And last but certainly not least, for in essence it is the most important, bring an offering in which you offer to the Creator, to the God of all beings, of all life of all creation, the Divine Mother and Father of the entire universe. The most important thing when choosing this offering once again is to make sure that it is pure and natural and that you offer your love, that you offer your love. Gratitude will help get you there. Concentrate on 108 prayers of gratitude that you offer to the Creator. And after the 108 prayers of gratitude your heart will be open enough to be able to offer your love and your praise.

Through praising you offer your love and this brings me full circle to the way that I began this message. Through the reverberation of those holy name vibrations, through the holy names of the Creator praise and love can be offered and connection and communion can come into being. Union with the Divine, within your own soul for truly you are one, your soul and the Lover of Soul. You truly are one. After making all of those offerings, sit in silence. Meditate on your breath and be fully present in the moment. Take in the fullness of the moment, listening to all sounds, feeling all feelings. In that meditation which is also a meditation that you can do at all times, focus on quieting your mind, but heightening your awareness, to where all that you see, all that you hear, all that you feel, all that you smell, all that is stimulating your being is perceived as God’s touch. Perceived as the Creator everywhere. Omnipresent, Omnipotent, all around you and within you. There will be peace in this state, there is love in this state, and there is joy, joy of connection, joy of union and communion. If you attempt to do this meditation after making your offerings and you still do not reach some semblance of what I described, then return to prayer and in your prayers purify yourself through offering over all the things that burden you through offering over, giving it over, giving it away those fears, those doubts, the anger, the pessimism, the cynicism, the worry, the anxiety, whatever it is. Pray until you feel it release and shift. Until at least in that moment and in that moment is the most important moment for current moment is the only moment, in that moment you have given it away and then return to the meditation once again.

If you are in a power place that is not only a power place for you but is also a vortex of energy, a power place for the earth and you do this meditation you will find it much easier to do. Currently, the energetic body of the earth is being realigned to help to compensate for the things that are being done to the physical body of the earth by the harm that is being done by unconscious human action. The energy body is being changed. The energy body is being transformed. There is currently the undergoing of new power places on this earth and transformation of some of the places that used to be power places that will no longer be. The new power places will come into being. There will actually be some shifts in the locations of some of the chakras within the earth. But then there are those chakras that will remain that have been chakras, vortexes of energy, power places on the earth for a great long period of time, long before this age and will continue through this age. Those chakras, those power places, the energies there are being amplified and being made stronger than ever before. At some point in time everyone who is in alignment with this message will be called to connect with them and to do ceremony and ritual. Either the one that I have outlined here or others that you will create or will be channeled through in the future in those places for your personal healing and balance, for the earth’s healing and re-balance, for the healings of all beings everywhere and for the re-establishment of heaven on earth during this age of the waning.

For the victory of the light I offer this message to you. Victory to that light and to all beings everywhere."

ANGELIC MESSAGE:
FROM ARCHANGEL URIEL
CHANNELED BY REV. ANA JONES

" I bring to you today the divine white light that is the light associated with my energy and associated with my presence, offering to you once again the blessing of this light to guide you through these words, to guide your path, and every step that you take. It is the divine white light that is my gift to you and it is being received in many ways through these words as well as through an energy transmission, as well as through an energetic upgrade for lack of better terms…to put it in terms of which you can understand in your modern day society and technology. The Divine is giving you an energetic upgrade, upgrading your inner operating systems, re-creating your image of yourself, your ideas, your values, your principles, your truths. You are being upgraded on all levels of your being to the resonance of pure truth, of pure light.

I am the archangel Uriel, your friend and your companion.

The gratitude that fills your heart at this time, it is the fuel for your continued growth. Focus on it, let it grow bigger and greater as it is touching your heart deeply, it is expanding your heart. Gratitude is opening your heart up to more and more blessings that are meant to be given and received to you, through you and by you. Gratitude is like the currency for all in The Universe. Just like you have the currency of money that allows everything to be accessed by you in your current day, culture, and society, there is a currency in the spiritual world also. The spiritual currency is not a material thing. It has no material form. The spiritual currency is gratitude and the more gratitude you have, the more grateful you are… the wealthier you are! The more prosperous, abundant, and sustained in that abundance you are because it is the currency that brings you true wealth. Gratitude is the currency that opens up the access to everything that you are inviting, opening to, and welcoming into your life. Feel it, express it and let it be the currency that you base your daily life upon…. being grateful for all that you have and all that you are in the moment, here and now.

You are being asked to live in the now…to be fully present more than any time previously in this lifetime. Your financial situation is requiring this of you. The spiritual lessons that you are learning are requiring this of you. The lessons you are learning to develop and grow in the path that you are pursuing are requiring this of you.

Releasing of the fears for what might be, or what could be, fears for the future, fears that come from the past…releasing of those fears is an essential part of living in the present. In fact, allowing yourself to be fully present, coming into your presence in the now; being in your presence in the now is the way to dissolve those fears of the past and for the future.

Past, present and future truly are one. They are not the way that you think of them and that you perceive of them in your culture and society in this linear way. They all interconnect…the place where they interconnect is the now. That place of which the past, present and future interconnect and become one is the now and it is all there is.

Do not be afraid to make investments in yourself, your life path, and your life purpose, with the money you have saved for your future because the future is in the now. To save and to put aside money for specific goals and intentions; this is a wise and frugal thing to do, especially from the material standpoint. However, there is also this misconception that you must save for your future. The misconception lies in the thinking that the present, ‘the now’ is not the future. For indeed it is. And so it is, every moment.

This truth is what you are waking up to… learning that “in the now” everything that you think, say, do, feel, want, intend, and use your will for; has a ripple effect throughout all of time. Here in the now you set things into motion of what will be. Not just for tomorrow, but throughout the whole wheel of time, past, present, and future.

One of the reasons why you and so many others have not been ready to wake up to this is because of the responsibility that waking up to this truth brings. It brings a great level of responsibility! That you must be responsible for every thought, word, action, deed, feeling, intention, use of your will, and use of your creative power that was given to you through your free will. This does not mean that everything has to be serious, quite the contrary. It is a shifting out of everything being so serious and taken so seriously and into a lightening that is also happening in your life.

Accept the responsibility of living in the now and all of that which spiritual empowerment and spiritual enlightenment brings to you.

Accept the responsibilty with a light heart, with a grateful heart, with a lightness in your body, a smile on your face, a laughter in your voice.

Accept that responsibility for so many have resisted fully awakening and fully living in the now as an empowered co-creator of their reality because of the fear of this responsibility and because of the misjudgment that being responsible means that you will not have a joyful life, thinking that you cannot enjoy.

Oh, it is true, you will not enjoy things the same. It changes. Enjoyment becomes much, more fulfilling. This is what you are seeking…you are seeking fulfillment. There are lots of things that can be enjoyed without any long lasting fulfillment and those things, while they are important in different stages of one’s life…it is crucially important to seek the level of joy that you are seeking; that brings you the level of fulfillment that your soul desires.

Continue to seek relationships with people and organizations that are in alignment with you. However, know that no matter what, no matter where you go, no matter how much alignment there is; that there will still be negative energies, opposing forces, dark forces for lack of any better word to use for them. Not dark in the sense of no light but in the sense that the light is being obscured, the light is being shadowed or overshadowed, shadow forces maybe yet be an even better terminology to use to describe this to you. All energies and entities are ultimately of the light, in the light, attracted to the light and attracted by the light…all energies and all entities. This is an important lesson to learn and to always be aware of.

Yet, in this day and age, you will not be able to find any anyone or any place for which those shadow energies are not there, to some degree. Your own self included, because the shadow energies are also in you. You have a shadow just as everyone else does and the journey of enlightenment is the journey of taking all aspects that are within that shadow and returning it to the light. This is why it is called enlightenment. In the light…everything in and of that light nothing remaining in the shadow.

So the next step for you is to not judge another’s shadow but to look within your own and to do some of your own shadow work, knowing that this will be many, many layers as it is for every human being. There are layers to the shadow. The shadows that you carry. The shadows that you have created. You’ve all created them, you all have them, this shadow side, the shadow self. Look to excavate the shadow, transform it to enlightenment.

Many fear the shadow because they think that there are great, terrible things there. While indeed some of your least favorite things about yourself have been pressed into your shadow, oppressed and suppressed into the shadow; what I can tell you is that it is lined with gold in the sense that what mostly it is made up of are all of the greatest gifts, strengths, powers, talents, traits that you have, powers, abilities that you have. Not only as human beings but as multi-dimensional spiritual beings that have been oppressed there, hidden there. In some cases hidden there to be kept “safe” for that day in which it was “safe” to return the back to the light.

All of those thoughts, all of the feelings that create something to be pushed into the shadow, all the decisions that have been made that created something of the shadow are not based in the light of truth. But regardless, they are your reality and the reality of what you are experiencing needs to be honored but so does the truth. The truth is that everything there needs to be brought into the light.

As the shadow is being healed and transformed into it’s original light state, there is work to do in the world. There are actions to take, others to meet. You are where you are. You are here, now. Make the most out of where you are here and now.

Experience the fullness of each and every step of the journey, for you are forgetting that ‘life purpose’ is not about a destination. It’s not about a goal…someplace that you are meant to go to, get to and do while you are there as much as it is about the journey itself. Are there points of completion along the path…yes. There will be many points of completion along the path and with every completion; a new beginning. It is on the journey that the purpose of life is fulfilled.

The more self realized you are, the greater capacity you will have to serve with true respect and greater gratitude. The greater your gratitude, your spiritual currency, that currency will draw into your life a multitude of experiences for you to have financial security.

Remember that money is energy and there is an abundance of it; even in times in which it seems that there’s not. This is one of the mistakes that people are making right now in regards to the economic changes that are happening in your society.

Are there times in which the tides are high and the tides are low, yes. The tides are real. These energetic tides sweep through everything they don’t just affect the ocean; they also affect your emotions, they also affect your bodies. The energetic tides affect your monetary system which is an energy-based system like everything else.

Is this a time period of low tide? Yes, absolutely.

Is low tide worse than high tide? No it depends upon how you make it, what you make of it; what you do with it. It is no better and no worse than high tide. In fact, great loss can also occur at high tide just as great loss can occur at low tide; depending upon how you work with it, what you do with it. In this time of low tide for the economic energies; for the economic systems, your economic models are needing to be transformed which is ultimately the reason why it is happening in the first place. It is time for a major upgrade and transformation to all operating systems!

Stop being afraid and embrace what this time is about! Consciously choose to act and react. Consciously choose what you want and what you want to create for yourself. By doing so, you will create a whole new energetic reaction to this time which will shift the energy flow.

It is not possible for any of you at this time to change the current of the tide but it is possible and probable, and you have been given many blessings and abilities to do so, for you to live abundantly and prosperously within it. This does not necessarily mean extravagance, for abundance and prosperity in your modern day world has become synonymous with extravagance for many people and you know that this not necessarily the case. They are not synonymous with each other. In fact, simplicity and living simply; naturally and simply, and allowing things to grow naturally, simply, organically…this can bring great abundance and prosperity. This is an abundant way to live life.

However, do not let the choices that you are making to live simply and to simplify your life, to simplify your finances, make you think in term of lack or feel in terms of lack. For when you think and feel as if you are lacking, you will only manifest more lack for you are denying the truth… you are repressing the gratitude for the abundance which is there already…pushing it into the shadow.

Clear from your own shadow any disrespect that may be there and you will not attract it in the same way again. But this does not mean that the shadow will not be present in the organizations and in the people you will be working with in the future…it will. I guarantee it. However, you will attract differently, manifest and co-create differently, as that which is in your own shadow is brought to the light and you will be able to react differently. Thus, you will be able to be a more empowered agent of change.

When I say clear out any disrespect that’s in your own shadow, this means any way in which you currently disrespect yourself or any one else. Respect is foundational. Respect and cooperation are at the very foundation and cornerstones that all of the angels, all of us are always teaching about…the foundation to all that we do…the foundation to all that you can do with each other in your relationships.

Bring it all into the light."

"You cannot solve a problem with the same consciousness that created it."
- Albert Einstein

"Money is energy. How you relate to it, whether you relate to it in fear or whether you relate to it in trust determines a great, great deal.... What you choose to consciously co-create can change everything!" - Archangel Michael

ECONOMIC PARADIGM SHIFT 2008-2012

"Money is energy. How you relate to it, whether you relate to it in fear or whether you relate to it in trust determines a great, great deal.... What you choose to consciously co-create can change everything!"- Archangel Michael

Aloha Everyone! In this current Celestial Voice Newsletter I am continuing to share with all of you a series of ongoing messages that I have been receiving from the Archangel Michael. In this recent message from Michael he was asked new questions about 2008 and the times of prophecy we are living in. This message has been excerpted from a personal reading that was channeled in spoken word and edited into written word with the intention of sharing it with a wider audience. In this message and many others I have channeled from the Angels this year, they directly address the important issue of our Economy, and share with us many universal themes that all of the angels are attempting to teach us right now. I have received so many angelic messages this year about the paradigm shift now occuring in our economic system, this message is one of great importance. I hope that you find this message from Archangel Michael as inspirational and helpful as I have. Its message has brought me some certainty during these uncertain times. The subject of his message is one that is relevant to all of us.

ANGELIC MESSAGE From Archangel Michael
channeled by Rev. Ana Jones

"It is I, the Archangel Michael that chooses to hear the prayers, questions, and concerns that you verbalize today. I hear that which is on your heart. You ask about the collective destinies for you, your family members, and for others in this year of 2008 and in the year 2012. What I can tell you is that even though some things are already set into motion, have already been co-created and will simply come about, that many things are still in the process of co-creation. All of 2008 will continue in an on-going trend and pattern of awakening; to be the fully, conscious co-creators that you are meant to be. 2008 will continue this ongoing awakening and it will continue to bring about new opportunities and new experiences to see how your collective consciousness and your individual consciousness interact. How your individual consciousness co-creates with the collective and vice versa.

The most immediate opportunity to see this and to know this right now is with the experience that is happening within your 2008 economy. Your nationwide economy, your global economy, they are all now seen and experienced as interconnected because truly they have always been and always will be. There is no way to disconnect them nor is it ever meant to be. Your personal economy is interconnected with the nationwide economy, with the global economy. It is through the economy that first and foremost, this awareness of interconnection is coming to the forefront in an entirely new way this year…and new responsibilities are coming with it.

For example, when fear ripples through the individual and collective consciousness it has an effect on the individual and the whole. Fears at this time for the nationwide, personal and global economies are very high and it is the personal responsibility of each and every person who is a part of your collective energy field to not respond or react to it in fear. Do not respond in fear, this is my advice to you and to all of your family members. And not just when it comes to the economy but in all things! Again the economy is presenting an immediate opportunity all throughout the year of 2008, a great opportunity to see this interconnected web, to see this interconnected energy, and to understand that all things are energy.

Money is energy. How you relate to it, whether you relate to it in fear or whether you relate to it in trust determines a great, great deal. The markets, the businesses, all of them…are run by people; all of them directly influenced by the consciousness and the energy of each individual and of the collective whole. This opportunity will help people to see how they react and how they choose to consciously create. What you choose to consciously co-create can change everything!

There are ebbs and tides, natural cycles that cannot be avoided. When the high tide comes in, you know for certain that there will be a period when the tide will be low. These natural cycles of the earth affect all energy fields. Just as there is a full moon, there will once again be a new moon and these cycles are constant. They are eternal patterns within the earth. All frequencies, all energies in the earth flow in cycles including your economic energies. It is good to know this because it is good to know that while much of this is being co-created and can be changed with responsible, conscious co-creation, the economic system is also subject to these natural fluctuations. These ebbs and tides are all natural energy flows in this material world. Knowing this also helps you to know how to plan for what you want to co-create.

Know what the energetic environment is that you are co-creating within, knowing and accepting that you cannot change the natural cycles. This indeed is a time of ‘low tide.’ It affects your choices as to how you choose to co-create but it’s nothing to be afraid of. There are different ways of co-creating during full moon time and others during new moon time. You can make something positive come about at both…high tide and low tide. Both are positive: one is not good, the other is not bad. This time of low tide for the economy is not to be feared and is not to be seen as bad but as a part of the whole and responded to through that consciousness. In this way you and your family members will be able to prosper through it all.

Prospering may look different, it may feel different but it is still prospering none the less. Be very careful and be very cautious to not limit your idea of what prospering is, what prospering feels like, what prospering looks like. What I can tell you is that you and many others have limited this idea and feeling of prospering and it is important to open yourselves to not limit in any way what prosperity and abundance can be like. Be open to all forms of its manifestation and you will be able to help the others in your family to do the same…to be a mentor to others that you know. There are fears to overcome. The only way to overcome these fears is through their medicine. Use the medicines of the fears. The medicines of fear are faith, trust, and courage. These are things that you do not have to wait until the absence of fear to feel. You have to feel them, you have to focus on making them stronger, focus on making them the single most important conscious experience that you have and the fears will then begin to dissolve. Feel, know, focus and strengthen your faith, your trust, your courage. Strengthen them and the fears will resolve and dissolve. Even if they don’t completely go away, they will be transformed. Your fears will be transformed by your conscious action of staying focused on the intention of what you want and why you want it…choose to create for yourself.

A great deal of what is to transpire in 2012 is still being co-created by your intentions. The messages that I am bringing through this channel and so many others all over the world that I am giving messages, energy, and support to are to help all of you to be empowered, to be the co-creators that you are, to get clear in the intentions of what you want to create for yourself and what you want to create for this world and focus on it. You are not to worry about or to concern yourself about what will happen but to concern yourself with what you want to happen and to stay focused on that with great enthusiasm and great discipline. This is a required discipline, for your minds are so easily distracted.
We know that you want to create healing. Right now it's OK to keep your intentions general and not to have a lot of specifics. However, as time is unfolding and as time is quickening there is a need to get more specific.

The role that you are meant to play as a Conscious Co-Creator in the 2012 era will still be decided…choose what you want it to be. The reason why I have called it ‘the sacred union’ and ‘the time of sacred convergence’ is that there is an alignment with the creative center, the creative power of your Universe that is happening and taking place with the creative within your self and The Creator. This is a powerful time of creation and it hasn’t been created yet. Yes, it is true that there are some things that have already been created, that have already been set into motion. Even those things that have been created, that have been set into motion, even they can be changed and transformed.

For example, there are many things that have been created, set into motion already with your earth and your earth’s climate and your earth’s environment. You have seen some of them manifesting, you have seen some of them happening and yes, there will be some of them that will still continue to happen and occur. All of the things that your scientists have been telling you is happening and occurring due to what has been created thus far is happening, but I am attempting to tell you that every single one of those things has a solution and that each of you have yet to create it. Create it in the realm of all possibilities; create it in yourselves, in your visions and your dreams. Create it in how you live your lives, create it by dreaming new dreams and by being who you are for your life purpose, what you are called here or created here to do. It comes from who you are and extends out from who you are…it’s not just something that you’re meant to come here to do. It’s someone that you are meant to be.

Focus on who you want to be and being who you are…knowing your true identity is a key in all of this for everyone. Misidentification with the physical body, over identification with the physical senses, misidentifying yourself with your mind and your emotions. All of these things have caused great, great problems and difficulties throughout the world and in your individual lives. As a result there has been a great amount of fragmentation and division, struggling in duality, that is meant to be shifted and transformed during this time of sacred convergence and sacred union.

What ‘sacred union’ means is coming back into that wholeness, that oneness, that union that already is. Returning once again into that state of oneness and connectedness that is your true state, returning your consciousness, returning your creation and your creativity and your creative processes into that alignment.

Everything that is happening with the energy crisis, with the economic crisis, with many of the things that you will see and hear being talked about as crises during this time, this year and the next few years to come are all opportunities. Each and every one of them presenting the opportunity to shift in consciousness to co-create consciously from a greater place of interconnection vs. a place of divisiveness vs. a place of separation, vs. inner consciousness that is lost or trapped in the illusion of separation.

There is individuality and there always will be individuality, but individuality does not exist outside of connected oneness. Individual yet indivisible. Your economies are showing you this, your energy dependencies and crises that are happening and will happen are showing you this.…all of it is a part of this sacred convergence, this sacred union, this return to the sacred awareness of being ‘individual yet indivisible’ and of being the co-creators that you are meant to be as a collective.

Being in right relationship with us, being in right relationship with others in your life…being in right relationship with yourself…being in right relationship with the Divine and with the earth as a whole. This is alignment…what I’m speaking of when I speak of right relationship, is being in alignment. Everything must be in alignment because 2012 is a sacred convergence, a sacred alignment, a time of alignment that is to bring everything into alignment…by doing so you will thrive, and the earth will thrive. Miraculous things can happen and will happen.

At first it is best not to look externally for the miracles…look internally. Look internally into yourself and the lives of those you love to see the real power and miracle of what is happening. Look internally and not externally. Externally it will seem as if things are not going well with the economy with many of the crises that I’m talking to you about that will be discussed more and more, that will come up onto the forefront, more and more. If you look at it just from the external it will give you a false appearance. Look at it internally…through the opportunity that it provides. This time of alignment provides the opportunity to change things from the inside out. This is true change…real change…everlasting change. You will see this in your own healing journey with your physical body. Only that which you have changed from the inside out will be long lasting. Change it from the inside out and it will be permanent, long lasting healing, permanent long lasting change.

There is no doubt in my mind or the mind of any of the others whom I am connected with in the angelic and spirit realm that you will be able to do this and move through this with beauty and with grace."

"When Angels are invoked there is a fascinating experience of never feeling alone, and the sense of always being in the midst of a constantly unfolding creation that is rich, awesome, brilliant, and complete. Each and every moment is stunning!"- Rabbi David Cooper

HEALING YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

"Make yourself familiar with the angels and behold them frequently in spirit;for without being seen, they are present with you."- St. Francis De Sales

In this Celestial Voice newsletter I am quoting from a very long message from Archangel Michael that I have published in my book 'The Teachings of Archangel Michael: A Handbook for Humanity.' The Angels are always with us, always helping to guide, direct, and protect us. They simply ask us to remember them and call upon them for their assistance. When we call upon the angels they know that we are consciously connecting with them and that it is our will and intention to be supported and guided, thus they are able to help us even more. The subject of this message is one that pertains to us all.

Angel Blessings,Rev. Ana Jones

ANGELIC MESSAGE From Archangel Michael
Excerpted from the book "Teachings of Archangel Michael: A Handbook for Humanity" channeled and published by Rev. Ana Jones

Healing Your Relationships with Each Other

"Your relationships with one another are the key to the future and to the evolution of humanity and life on this earth! Everything is in relationship to one another--- EVERYTHING! You may think you are hearing these words and phrases as separate from one another, yet they are not. You think you are separate from every other thing, you are not. You may know this with your mind; your intellect is beginning to know this. Yet the key to really experiencing it is to engage in those relationships to the point where that knowledge is no longer just intellectual but it is experienced wisdom and you are truly able to live fully engaged in those relationships.

Take for example the relationship you have with this earth. Not only are the relationships with your family and the people that you come across important, but so is the relationship you have with this planet. This planet is a living being referred to by many, many names. Often referred to as the mother, this planet, in and of itself, is a being that supports life beyond what you are even able to comprehend. There is so much life that you are connected with---you are in relationship with it all.

As you are trying to focus on relationship and healing your relationships, you can't just focus on one only. Focusing in on one or two relationships and trying only to be the best, do the best, and love to the utmost that is possible in a compassionate way can help you, but it does not end there. Expand that out to others. It does not end there for all things are connected and you are in relationship with [beings] far beyond. So honor your relationship with the earth. Honor your relationship consciously by knowing that the relationship is there and engage in that relationship.

How do you do that? Think about how you engage in any relationship.

Think about your relationship with the person who is closest to you.

Think about what it takes, what is required of you to be in that relationship?

Think about what is involved in a day-to-day relationship: time, awareness, conscientiousness, humility, putting aside pride and the ego, truthfulness, faith, trust.

It also takes energy that you give and receive and taking the time to interact and to exchange with those energies.

It is difficult for you to take the time to interact and exchange your energies with the earth. It is also difficult for you to take the time to interact and exchange your energies with one another. The barriers that you have put up with one another are so strong and so powerful. Fear has truly caused great defense systems, shields, to be put up that disconnect you from the earth and all that you are related to on the earth, and from each other. If those very same defensive shields and mechanisms that you put up disconnect you from those things, how much more do you think they actually block you in your awareness of all that lies beyond the physical into the spiritual realms and the subtle beings such as ourselves?

One of our great concerns right now is to dissolve those barriers that you put up. Being with the earth and interconnecting and relating with the earth can help you dissolve your interpersonal barriers.

Exercises for Dissolving Interpersonal Barriers:

Sit alone on a beach and look out on the ocean, sky, sun, and the earth and all the creatures in their full glory and you will find that many of those defenses and shields and protective mechanisms and barriers that you have put up will start to dissolve. Yet bring people into that picture and that equation and you will start to see that [the barriers come up] once again.

Connect with the earth---this will help you.

Connecting with the earth in such a way will help you to become aware of how those barriers are there. But you will still need, each and every one of you (for those who have not reached full enlightenment all have this problem) will still need to work on the barriers and defenses that you have between each other.

Yes there are many things that people do unconsciously that can hurt another person. There are ways that each person, even a compassionate person who has fully good intentions, uses their energy to control and manipulate others in ways that they are totally unaware of. But still it is important to open your heart and extend compassion, and to deepen the relationship, to take time for one another. Do not defend against one another or be fearful with one another. When someone comes knocking on your door do not be afraid. When someone passes you on the street do not be too rushed to smile, to say hello.

The modern society in which you find yourself living functions in [rushed] segments of communication that are just sound bites. Communication needs to extend ultimately beyond that. When there is not time to say more than a few words to someone, make sure that the words that you do say are said truly with an open heart and without those defenses there.

Your Most Important Relationship of All


There are many among you who believe harmonious relationships among human beings are not possible ultimately. They believe that true peace on earth is not possible. They have given up. This message is a message of hope because we have not ever given up on it. For not only do we know that it is possible, we know it is probable and we know it is destined to be. We have reminded you that you are in our company and we also want to remind you that we are helping you and assisting you in this. The relationship we have with you is a special relationship and our relationship is meant to help you in all other relationships.

The reason why we are with you is to be in deep relationship so that you can be helped and supported in all other relationships, and especially in the most important relationship of all, which I have yet to mention. That relationship is with the Divine One, with the One who has been called by numerous names. It is the relationship that you have with the one named God, for that relationship is the most important relationship of all relationships that we are helping to guide you in and encouraging you to explore.

So as you are working on improving your relationships, remember THAT being--- the greatest relationship of all. Your relationship with that being is the greatest relationship which each and every one of you seeks after whether you know it or not. That love, the Divine Love, is the love that you seek after, long for, long to know and remember in every moment. This love needs to be consciously present in you, in all you speak, and in all the relationships that you have. That Presence is here; that love is here now in these words, Divine Love.


We the Angels love you---know that we love you!"

LIVE FROM YOUR TRUE WILL

ANGELIC MESSAGE as channeled by Rev. Ana Jones:

"One of the many things that we can teach you is to share with you teachings about your true will. Mere wants and desires are not equal to the true will. For knowing your true will is also knowing the will of the Divine. The will of the Source of Creation. Your will and the will of God, of All That Is, are one on the highest level.

So, when you ask, "what is my true will," you are also asking- what is the will of the Divine in my life? If you really chose to know it then it will be revealed.

To choose to know it means letting go of what the ego thinks, wants, and thinks it desires. Accepting whatever that truth ultimately is. Accepting it with an open heart, accepting it with a willingness to act on it once it is revealed to you.

There is no greater harm that can be done than the way you harm yourself by not acting on your true will once it is revealed!

Right now your heart speaks to you and you are at times confused in discerning what it says clearly. Within your heart is the Divine teaching you and guiding you, instructing you in your heart ---speaking to you.

The confusion needs to be replaced with the clarity of discernment.

There was a time when you had great access to knowing your true will and the Divine Will. You are returning to this with innocence and with love. Returning to the inner knowing that you had as a child. As your heart speaks to you now, what you hear is: it is time for change.

Already within you, you have changed and you have transformed and yet youa are still transforming. As above, so below - As within, So without !

Be Patient! The outer world must reflect the changes that have occurred within you so that there can be harmony once again. Until this happens there is disharmony, tension, anxiety, and what you call stress which is a culmination of all of these and more.

We ask you to have faith and to trust. To deepen your faith in the trust that you already have to a level that you didn't think possible. We don't ask this of you for ourselves. We encouraged you to have this for we know that this is what you will need to change the outer world. The world around you needs to reflect the essence and the truth of the soul.

Your fears are very strong, even though you are not fully aware of them. In this time your fears are your greatest obstacles and it is your fear that can hurt you the most. More than any other thing , more than lack of money, changing jobs, changing physical locations... more than any of those things, none of those things, nor even all of those things together. Nothing can equal the damage that your fears can do to you, causing you not to live by your true will.

Face your fears head on, not with arrogance but with love, not with greed but with compassion, not with ego but with heart!

This is how you must face the people that you interact with. The people who's lives are also co-creating the course that sets your future. You must reveal and reflect the truth within your heart to them. The truth of what you feel you need. Believe that all things are possible.

We will never say to you anything else, accept that what you desire is possible because it falls with the realm of all possibilities!

You and others like you stand a the brink of a time in which you can make those possibilities a reality. You have the power, the strength and the will, and you are coupling it with your faith and your deepened connection with the soul and to the Divine Great Spirit that has created you and makes all possibilities a reality.

There is but one key to make the impossible possible... be sure that all you aspire to, dream of, and wish to create, is of your true will.

Within you is your souls still quiet voice that speaks softly, lovingly, gently, compassionately, your truest will. You must have subtle ears to hear it and an open mind to receive it, and a clear intent as to what you will do with those messages.

We tell you that you are hearing it, you hear it in your heart, but you are still not clear on what your true will is. Nothing manifests for your highest good unless it is your true will.

If you want us to tell you what you should do and what you should not do, we can not, for that is not our role and that is not how we serve you best..we the Angels serve only your true will and the Divine Will.

We help to illuminate your true will--- for you and all to see."

Operating From A Different Paradigm

"Every blade of grass has an angel over it whispering grow... grow... grow!"
- The Jewish Talmud

The Angels are always with us, and always helping to guide us. Posted below is a message from the Angels that I excerpted and edited from a transcript of an actual Angelic Communication Session. The subject of this message is one that pertains to us all. Whether you believe in Angels or not, may the wisdom contained within it help you on your own personal spiritual path!
Angel Blessings,Rev. Ana Jones

"Acting on your true will, you will manifest magnificent things in your life, magnificent joy and love." - The Angels (as channeled by Rev. Ana Jones)

ANGELIC MESSAGE:
From Twin Angels Laura & Lauriel as channeled through Ana Jones

"Many changes are happening on the earth and there are many other angels and guides (an unlimited number) that are communicating to others about the earth changes and the earth transformations. Each of you have a role. In the next few years there will be much determined for the future of humanity and the future of the earth.

You play a role because you have evolved yourself enough, you have awoken enough that you are able to hear these words now and know this truth within yourself, to be able to feel this truth within your being. It is not the majority that we need to make the necessary shifts in consciousness. Instead it is a minority of those who have the ears to hear, the heart to truly listen, of those who have the courage to truly act and to live in their truth by the greatest standards that they can possibly set for themselves--by the greatest nobility and the greatest amount of impeccability that they can possibly muster for themselves.

This is a call going out to all who have the ears to hear and the heart to listen. Hearing this is one thing, and listening is another. To listen it will take you truly tapping into your heart and the courage that you have there. Get past the stubbornness of your mind and the ego that continues to play tricks on you. The ego continues to make you think that you have to be forced into changes, and that you have to find yourself in extremely difficult forced situations before you can choose change. This is a stubborn trick of the ego and the mind that is a very old pattern.

It is time that you begin to changing this pattern and operate from a different paradigm, from a different pattern that is emerging and can easily emerge from the shift in consciousness that has taken place in you. Within your heart lies the courage, the faith and the trust to make the changes that you need to make. A certain time is winding down. The time for you to be where you are is coming to an end. Surrender to the divine will as it is moving through your life.

Here you are now, struggling with what you are struggling with, blinded in many ways by what the mind and ego want you to see. You must continue to develop spiritual practices, meditation practices that help you to identify the ego-mind and discern it from the soul and the voice of the inner teacher, which is the intuition. There is still a great deal of work to do in this area that will continue on for a long time to come. But when you are trying to figure out the answers, when you are asking us to give to you the guidance, you must put yourself in an open, receptive state. You must practice a meditation in which you learn to control your mind, and ultimately to control your own life force so that ultimately you can receive.

Balance Your Giving & Receiving
One of the greatest imbalances that we wish to speak to you about is the imbalance that currently exists between giving and receiving. The imbalance of drawing energy in and putting energy out. It is difficult to explain the many ways in which this imbalance manifests but we can tell you that it is natural law. It is a sacred, universal law that that which is given be received and that which is received be given--that there always be a balance between that which is given and that which is received.

One thing which proves this to you, which can help you to reflect on this is the breath. There is the in breath and the out breath. There is that which is received, the in breath, and there is that which is given out, recirculated out with the out breath. This simple meditation--meditating on the breath and trying to equalize and balance the two so that they are equal to one another--will help you to do so in all the other areas of your life in which this balance needs to occur.

In many areas of your life, you are receiving more than you realize. You are receiving so much more than you are consciously letting yourself see and be aware of. For all that you are receiving and not giving out, there is an imbalance. There is an imbalance, for example, of all that you are receiving from the earth, for the abundance and prosperity that is in your life that is so much more than thousands if not hundreds of thousands of other people in this world. There is so much that you are receiving and there is a need for balance, for how much you give to be balanced.

Give more by consciously participating, not only by giving money more freely and giving it to those things that you really believe in and actively living in your truth. Also give other things: like your actions, your words, your deeds, your prayers, your blessings. And one of most important things of all that you can give is gratitude, thankfulness and appreciation. This is one of the keys to helping you stay clear and in balance. When the balance between that which you are receiving and that which you are giving is out of balance, send out gratitude, feeling and expressing it. Gratitude will help you to open your heart to forgiveness. Gratitude will help you to open your eyes to see beyond the immediate images of what seems good and what seems bad and see that there is far more to it than that.

There are energetic shifts taking place in your body, some on the right side, some on the left side. Those energetic shifts are speaking to you directly about the imbalance between giving and receiving. Even though there are many areas of your life in which you are not giving as much as you are receiving there is also the opposite imbalance that occurs in other areas of your life. In other areas of your life you are giving too much of yourself. What you are receiving is not equal to that which you are giving if you factor in?the time and life force energy of mind and spirit.

There are areas of your life in which the imbalance between giving and receiving is off in both directions. The left side of your body is the receptive, feminine side of your body. The right side of your body is the masculine, giving, and directive, active side of your body. These imbalances that we are ultimately speaking of are also imbalances between the male and female energies within you, between your own masculinity and your own femininity that ultimately are a part of who you are. One way in which you have kept yourself balanced in the past is to go from one extreme to another extreme to another extreme back and forth between the two. That is one way of balancing, but it is not the best way.

Bring more things into balance, and listen with your heart and body... these imbalances are real, they are occurring, you are experiencing them energetically. Sometimes when you are asking us to give you something, what you really need to be doing in your prayer is giving us back your thankfulness, your appreciation, your love, your energy, your desire to serve and be in relationship with us. Sometimes in doing that it enables us to energetically do more.

Regarding this imbalance between how much you are receiving and how much you are giving, we want you to think of it like this: reflect on what we have said about the in breath and the out breath. Every time in which you have the desire to receive and you are in that mode of wanting, desiring, asking, seeking, you are in that mode of drawing to you. To receive, invoke, that is the in breath. However you cannot just inhale, inhale, inhale, and inhale. At some point you must exhale. The breath actually begins not with the inhale, but with the exhale. You can only draw into yourself and receive as much as you have given, as much as you have released, as much as you have let go of.

You could never inhale, you could never fill yourself, if there were not emptiness first. So the breath ultimately begins with the exhale. So in order to receive, in order to draw in that which you are asking for and invoking, you must have the exhale, you must empty, give and release. In your prayers this can be accomplished very easily by beginning with prayers of gratitude or praise, praising and thanking, then asking and receiving. When you do this there is a big difference in how you feel, a big difference in how things manifest. The patterns of manifestation are changing in your life. Things no longer have to manifest in the ways in which they have been. You must participate in them consciously--conscious co-creation of the patterns of manifestation in your life.

Intention is: What You Want & Why You Want It
One of the keys to conscious co-creation is to not just know what you want, but be clear in why you want it. Know that your intention is not only what you want, but it is why you want it. Your intention should be self-oriented and yet self-less at the same time in order for there to be true balance in that intention. Say for example that your intention is to reconnect and reunite with your twin soul. That intention is very much for yourself, for your happiness, for your wholeness, for your peace and your joy. And that is 'what' you want. But 'why' do you want it? In order to make sure this intention is balanced it should also be coupled with a self-less reason, a self-less purpose. The 'why' you want to be reunited with your twin soul should also be coupled with the desire for the two of you, once reunited, to be of service to God, humanity, the earth--and to do the great work that you are meant to do for benefit all beings.

This is the selfless aspect of the intention. When the intention is balanced and whole in this way, the patterns of manifestation in your life begin to change and you begin to co-create and manifest consciously in your life, the destiny and the true will that is within you. In addition to clarifying your intentions, and remembering always that energy flows where your attention goes, there is yet another key element to Conscious Co-creation. That is your true will. There are many things you want and have desires for. Not all of these things are of your true will.

Weed Out Your Fears
In order for you to live your truth and be one of the ones who can live your truth to the best of your ability, you must know your truth. Be honest with yourself. Weed out the wants and the likes and the dislikes from those things that are truly the most important to you. Weed out your fears. This does not mean that they will go away. For like all weeds, they continue to grow back and it requires a good gardener to continuously tend and cultivate that garden of truth, the garden of self-awareness. You know it in your heart even though your mind does not comprehend it. Acting on your true will, you will manifest magnificent things in your life, magnificent joy and love.

Use the power of your will also to make choices that really are in harmony with your beliefs. We cannot emphasize this enough. Spiritual life and earthly life, your physical/material and spiritual life, are not separated. Please remember that even though these things that we describe to you seem hard and some of them sound intimidating, it is always more painful and more devastating to choose to be ignorant to your truth, or to choose to go in an opposite direction of your flow. To choose to swim upstream, rather than to go with the flow of how that stream of your destiny is moving you, is much harder.

The Quickening
All big changes in some ways are like deaths, a death cycle. Not death in the sense of physical death, but in the sense of an ending and a beginning. There is no such thing as an ending without a beginning. We use the word death here because it helps you to identify that those intense transformations happen on all levels, include a time of grieving of sorts that one also goes through. Because of The Quickening and the fact that things are accelerating, you will feel some of this. The Quickening will help you go quickly through it and we will lift you on Our Wings whenever you feel you need it most--to help you soar through things that in previous times would have taken a very long time.Your energy all the way down to the cellular level, all the way down to the DNA, has been restructuring, readying and preparing you. You didn't think that this was all it was preparing you for, did you? You have known there is more and there will be more. It is about the journey, not about the destination. Every destination you reach, every goal which you accomplish, the journey will continue on. Put your confidence in that.

The Only Constant is 'Change'
Set your belief that you can be safe and secure in believing in the journey and putting your safety and security in God's hands and in the journey itself. It is the only thing that is guaranteed. The only constant is change, the only constant is the journey, and the only constant is God. These are the only things that you can cling to for your safety and security in all times and in all situations. These are the only things that are permanent, the only things in which there can be any attachment. Attachment to the impermanent only leads to pain and suffering, grief and fear. This is the path of self-mastery that you walk."

" It requires a good gardener to continuously tend and cultivate the garden of truth, the garden of self-awareness." - The Angels (channeled by Ana Jones)
