Inner Work – Sheridan Cooke

Preparing for a time of rebirth

Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go. They merely determine where you start.

— Nido Quebein

The solar flares in recent days have been very disruptive to many. It is our collective hope that the message from the Council below helps you to manoeuvre through the challenges being experienced.

Archangel Michael

✨

During the time it takes for you to decide to tackle an obstacle—whether physical, mental, or emotional—a series of decisions are going on within your inner realm. If the polarity between “good” and “evil” is merely a spectrum, does it not stand to reason that the spectrum also exists within, and a constructive conversation between opposing archetypes could lead to significant forward movement?

Shadow work is imperative, and just as Carl Jung recognized the importance of archetypes, so does it take willpower and determination to face discordant areas that exist within the self.

As Thoth is commonly known as Hermes Trismegistus, so were you known by many other names during previous incarnations. What if you found out that your inner name isn’t the one that you’re accustomed to referring to yourself? What if, “As within, so without” took on a different meaning once your archetypes are communicating with ease on a telepathic basis?

Telepathy is not uncommon, nor is it given to those who aren’t willing to use the gift wisely. That stated, it is how you communicate with each other once you leave your physical body behind.

As each vineyard will go through a period of renewal, so is it important to learn how to prune the branches during winter so they will yield an abundant crop during the coming year.

Each of you has been tasked with specific obstacles to overcome. It is not difficult to find someone to talk to about the minutia of your day, but it can be challenging to face your inner realm without someone to guide you through it, which is one of the main reasons why we’ve recommended “The Dark Side of the Light Chasers” by the late Debbie Ford to those who are unaccustomed to doing shadow work.

Does your circle support you when you are going through an “upgrade,” so to speak? Are you given free rein to be yourself without misjudgment?

Everyone wants a safe place to be themselves. If that is something you are seeking for yourself, you must be willing to offer it to those who have chosen to accompany you on your journey. While soul contracts largely begin during the “time between time,” as we often refer to it, so do some decide to terminate those contracts before they have served their unique purpose.

There is much more that we can tell you, but not everything will fall on welcome ears.

The stars will shine, no matter whether you look at them or not. People will shine more brightly when they embrace their soul’s light as truth and are willing to love without condition. Do not think that this is an impossible task, for many have proven that it can be done—and it must be done if people who have been seeking peace and harmony outside of themselves are provided with opportunities to also seek it within themselves.

Every season has a purpose. As spring is a time of rebirth, so is winter a time for rest, renewal, and contemplation. As you set goals and plans into motion, so is it important to prune branches if they no longer provide support or shelter. The inequities of life are not lost on your soul, but the rebalancing so many are seeking can be achieved with consistent effort.

Be bold, courageous, and brave, today and always.

Thank you for your time.

Facing the flames of truth

Don’t judge too harshly, for if your weaknesses were to be placed under your footsteps, most likely you would stumble and fall as well.

— Richelle E. Goodrich

At just over 1,700 words, this two-part post is longer than most. Sanat Kumara and Metatron carry extremely strong frequencies on their own, so the energy of this message might feel more intense than previous “transmissions of Light,” as Maitreya is referring to them. I’ve been asked to mention that a bit of quiet time and extra water are beneficial to help your body transmute any trapped energies that might be holding you back from experiencing the bliss your soul seeks to offer. As always, I share their gratitude for the time people take to read and integrate their messages. Namaste.

✨🌟✨

It isn’t without a certain amount of trepidation that this particular message is being shared, as it touches on the topic of triggers, which many people tend to avoid.

You cannot classify one person as being antagonistic if you, too, aren’t also antagonistic from time to time. But what if you first believe you are accepted by another for who you are, and then suddenly that person tells you they perceive your behaviour as being unacceptable on a number of occasions? Would you feel tarred with a very wide brush, especially if the only example offered when specific instances were requested was not only fairly innocuous but simply couldn’t be recalled, and further and better examples were expressly denied?

It also isn’t without a certain amount of caution that Metatron elected to step forward a short while ago to take matters into his own hands when this scribe was struggling with feelings of rejection, yet again. Do not think for a moment that she is the one writing this introduction. She is merely acting as an intermediary to our realm, which is something she agreed to during the time her life plan was being worked through with certain members of the Council.

Many would not have wanted to experience the hurdles she has overcome since her childhood, not to mention the ones she encountered over the course of the past quarter century alone. Her awakening was not without significant losses, both personal and financial, and she is acutely attuned to her intuition, except for where the occasional blind spot exists for her highest good. Trust does not come easily, despite believing in the essential goodness of most people—”certain politicians excluded,” she thought to herself as she holds her pen and listens to what I have to share with you.

Easing into the future will often require revisiting the past, especially if there is an important lesson that has yet to be fully integrated. Dealing with the death of a relationship can be more far more difficult to work through, compared to the death of an actual person. That stated, the ability to communicate telepathically with the soul of someone who is still alive is entirely possible, yet it does not occur without the other soul being in agreement, even if this isn’t acknowledged on a conscious level.

Dreams and visions occur whether a person is awake or asleep, and the ones that occur shortly before awakening are meant to be delved into if you are willing to take control of the emotions that are brought to the forefront during these nocturnal, soul-infused meetings.

A friend or sibling who is no longer a part of a person’s life is frequently a member of their soul group, and this awareness is also brought to the forefront during a life review.

Everything is viewed through a compassionate lens of love, not one of criticism or misjudgment. This concept is one that many are aware of. Those who have discarded this idea in its entirety will be in for a bit of a surprise, to put it mildly. Fear not, for you are much braver than you have given yourself credit for.

Backstepping to nocturnal nuggets of wisdom that trickle through your dreamtime to your inner chalice of Light are brief stories that can end quite suddenly because no further information is required to be elevated to a person’s conscious awareness. To that end, a nightmare early this morning involving an encounter with the person this scribe once considered to be her “best friend” linked directly to an area in need of resolution.

Are you willing to alter your perspectives if they don’t align with your soul’s truth rather than alter your behaviour to appease someone because it was difficult for them to confront you when they perceived you as being annoying or irritating?

Do not attempt to sweep negative emotions under a rug, for you will surely trip over them sometime in the future.

No one has it all figured out, no matter how much deep inner work they’ve completed. Sometimes, however, a catalyst will nudge you into a less than comfortable area of your inner realm where neglect, rejection, or abandonment have left an indelible mark.

How do you come to terms with being repeatedly misjudged if you repeatedly go out of your way to be kind and helpful to others and the person who condemned you has little to no experience witnessing you as you normally are?

How many times have you told yourself you aren’t worthy of being loved because you’ve been dealt a series of losing hands? Let me tell you one thing for certain: the soul is holding aces up its sleeve, and the more you’re willing to let the hand play out when the odds are stacked against you, the more you’ll be led to play a card you didn’t know you were meant to be in possession of in the first place. As the inimitable El Morya would tell you, “You will end up in first place if your soul is placed first.” If you find yourself last in line, however, trust that you are in the lead of the next one.

While I could wax poetic on the topic of near misses and direct hits (being that they are often interconnected), it is our collective hope that you will pay attention to Metatron’s words and ask yourself how willing you are to chart a new path if the one you’ve been on suddenly reaches a dead end. As this scribe has mentioned from time to time, a dead end is frequently a “you-turn” in disguise.

Make yourself a priority, Dear Ones. While teachers and students exist in both physical and etheric realms, so do principals and principles become intertwined. Don’t take our word for it: consult your Akashic Records and witness the magic for yourself. You might find that a single disappointment serves as a catalyst for tremendous forward movement.

As all awakenings are meant to be thought of as gifts from the soul, so is Metatron’s comparatively short message to be considered a gentle reminder that facts and truths need to be viewed with discernment, and love cannot exist with ease and comfort if barbs from the past are not removed in their entirety.

Do you see how much more comfortable you can sit within yourself when your mind is not racing around, trying to separate fact from fiction?

There is no need to separate love from anything, other than simply state this with conviction: I will not plant myself where I can no longer grow. And then congratulate yourself for your courage and bravery, for as all “resets” are considered upheavals of sorts, so is the foundation of your soul that much stronger when the dust settles and you honour those who forced you to dig a little deeper.

As always, we are standing on solid ground and will never neglect, reject, or abandon you.

On behalf of The Council,

I AM Sanat Kumara

Let people overreact toward you. Let them come to an awareness that their own triggers are what have been holding them back from living a more full and authentic life.

While consciousness and knowledge are interconnected, if the mind is tied to certain actions and behaviours as being ego driven, then consciousness must expand so that knowledge, too, can similarly follow.

While truth is also subjective, many people wander through the world being utterly afraid of their own shadow. Do not let yourself become one of them. Become One within yourself.

As a divide exists between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, so is it possible for both sides to become fully integrated. Once the Monad steps in and anchors the soul’s thread to both one’s inner realm and the ones that exist beyond what most humans are incapable of imagining on a grander scale, so can the butt of one joke end up bearing the brunt of a tidal wave of criticisms, ranging from covertly petty to overtly vicious and completely uncalled for.

But most people aren’t the butt of jokes, are they? They are condemned for being human and seldom told that their words and actions are perceived by another person as off the mark, to put it mildly.

Step beyond the criticism of others and challenge yourself to alchemize your reaction to the best of your ability.

Catalysts are intended for growth; they are not intended to be used as shields because past wounds are getting in the way of a necessary rebirth.

If you have been triggered in any way by someone else’s perceptions (whether they, too, are off the mark), step into the energy of gratitude instead, as this will offer you a myriad of options and opportunities to expand your life as you know it to be.

Pull the pin on relationships that undermine you as a human. Nourish the ones that prompt you to become the wisest and most courageous version of yourself. Anything else could be thought of as a waste of time.

Is this message a waste of time? Perhaps to those who have already given up, it is, but those who are intent on grounding themselves in the soul’s love as part of their daily meditation practices are also given tidbits of information from realms beyond to assist them in their personal evolution.

“Evolution” forms part of revolution, after all. Let your anger become an ally, not an enemy, for it can be used as fuel for significant—and magnificent—positive change if it is aligned with the soul and directed wisely.

Do not underestimate those who have survived multiple storms with their wings still intact, for they have earned them. As a phoenix will rise from the ashes, so too will you rise from this mortal coil with far more wisdom than if you had not dared to face the flames of truth.

I AM Metatron. Thank you for walking this journey with me today.

Angles and angels: wisdom from the Other Side to guide you on your journey to self-mastery

Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.

– Sandra Carey

How persistent are you when facing a problem that needs to be solved? Whether you choose to turtle or be an ostrich, both have the capability of stretching their necks out, just as you are able to open your mind and heart so you can challenge any limitations you are currently holding as truth.

It is our hope that Archangel Uriel’s two short messages below will inspire you to cultivate a rewarding life that fills you with joy and wonderment.

Sanat Kumara

“Everything happens for a reason,” some people say, but it can take a while to figure out what that reason is. Does it matter if a pattern repeats itself until suddenly it doesn’t? While the previous sentence doesn’t contain the answer to the question, it is entirely up to you to decide what matters and what doesn’t. It is one of the gifts that sovereignty has to offer you.

It isn’t intended to be trite or cliché to say, “I’m better off without so-and-so,” unless, of course, you adopt a cynical attitude about everything, which does absolutely nothing to promote inner joy—or longevity, for that matter.

Being reckless with one’s life is often a symptom of unresolved trauma that took place during crucial transitions within a young child’s development and is exacerbated if the child is placed in an unsupportive environment where it was necessary to learn how to survive instead of thrive. What happens when that same environment exists both at school and at home?

It has been said that a child’s development ends at roughly seven or eight years of age, after which their internal locus of control starts to run on automatic, so to speak. It is not factual to say this pattern is a life sentence. With sufficient inner work, anyone who has the patience and persistence to create the habit of daily journaling as a means of gaining control of one’s thoughts and emotions will eventually start to see an inner roadmap that will lead them to a sacred space that offers peace and comfort to its occupants.

Make no mistake: your inner realm is not made up of one single child.

If you were to self-study the topic of archetypes combined with shadow work, you would see the dynamics at play quite quickly, as well as notice how misalignments directly influence how your inner child responds to external stimuli. Don’t take our word for it: challenge yourself to schedule a session with an experienced therapist or intuitive counselor who specializes in this modality so you can be guided through the process. Doing so will allow you to look at the big picture sooner than you think. Alternatively, Dr. Debbie Ford’s classic book, “The Dark Side of the Light Chasers,” is also one that we continue to recommend and one that will set you on a clear path to inner liberation. As you were given free will, so is it up to you to follow it.

If your desire to be whole is greater than your desire to remain silent when you know that improvements need to be made, step into silence first and listen. What is the first thing that you hear? Now, what are you going to do about it?

✨

Know that relationships are not a burden but a joy to be relished in, provided they contribute to your overall happiness and long-term growth. The ones that end suddenly, while painful at times, are often symbolic of a larger lesson that was meant to be learned.

It is difficult to discuss this topic with those who are intent on staying in partnerships that have long outlived their purpose. While it is easy enough to mention that certain challenges were given to promote the ascension process, some would prefer to hold onto victimhood instead of taking their power back and making choices that will reestablish equanimity within. This can occur because they are completely unfamiliar with what that state feels like, as chaos has become an acceptable norm they refuse to confront.

Peace is often something that is achieved only after an extended period of longing and disappointment.

It is difficult to explain the higher purpose of the soul to those who refuse to budge from societally created or religious based ideologies or constructs.

The lifespan of the soul is far, far greater than one linear timeline during which the soul enlists in the assistance of selected members of its “soul family” to overcome certain obstacles. Many members of this unit are not related by blood during their respective soul paths. There is never any time when soul contracts are made without all parties being in agreement, even if the details mean pitting lovers or family members against each other so that the person being rejected or cast aside can step into the role of healer or teacher. This will often present itself as an inner calling long before the relationships disintegrate or simply come to a natural end.

You will see this all clearly during your life review, but it is important to attempt to recognize the blessings these relationships have offered during this lifetime so that you can unburden yourself without shame or guilt accompanying you.

Your belief systems and thought patterns directly influence whether you will be successful in growing or depleting your inner reserves on a variety of levels.

Trust that your soul’s goal is to promote expansion, not contraction. Do not settle for a life that is too small for your generous heart.

New avenues of exploration will be shown to you when you least expect them. Not every road is meant to be embarked upon for an extended period of time. Some are meant as detours—“you turns,” if you will—redirecting you to find your centre, where peace and harmony walk hand in hand.

“Reason” and “treason” might very well rhyme, but the latter defies the soul’s logic, which often runs counter to the ego’s preferences. On your journey to self-mastery, we ask that you take this fundamental lesson to heart: do not abandon reason … or yourself.

Adventures await

The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

~ Eleanor Roosevelt

If one person could tell you that you deserve love, who would that person be?

Are you willing to hear words in a similar vein from an enlightened being by the name of Andromeda? If so, we hope you enjoy the message she asked this scribe to relay to you.

After all, loving and evolving are meant to walk hand in hand, and we are always walking alongside you, guiding you to the best of our ability.

As spring has finally sprung in the northern hemisphere, so is it time for many of you to bring new concepts and ideas forward after clearing away the clutter of the winter season.

What can you donate? What can be polished up and put to good use within your immediate circle of friends or family? Are there things that you need to say to them to clear the air so that a new beginning can occur?

When the past is laid to rest, there is often a period of mourning for how you wished things to be. For example, a woman might leave a man who doesn’t see her clearly so that she can learn to see herself through a new lens. Is that not something to be grateful for, even if the person she was committed to has positive qualities others wouldn’t hesitate to accept?

Superficial relationships are rarely beneficial from the soul’s perspective; however, when a brief interlude begins and ends by surprise, there is little either side can do except move on and see the blessings that were given, even if they are difficult to ascertain at first glance.

Be vigilant with your inner work and take the time to make it a priority. As your soul evolves—and loves as it wishes to love—so will you see that “love” and “evolve” are similar in nature, and perhaps a backwards glance is needed to observe and remember that you don’t need to protect your heart from further hurt or pain. You need to pay attention to what you are willing to accept or set aside.

It isn’t in anyone’s best interests to let a past hurt slide without recognizing that your soul saw the experience as an opportunity to grow beyond what you have been holding onto as truth.

The hurt someone else inflicts is often a projection of an unmet need and not a reflection of unworthiness in any way, shape, or form.

Dare to rebuild if you feel some aspects of your life have fallen apart. Be brave enough to start from scratch if need be.

Do not pretend things are going to be okay in a situation—whether marital or work-related—if you don’t stand up for yourself and declare your sovereignty. If others lose out because they can no longer syphon your energy, that is on them.

As life doesn’t operate in a vacuum, so is the soul intent on picking up the slack to the point where it can lay the framework for a far more stable environment within which to partake in the activities that bring joy to your heart, not sacrifice the experience of bliss because someone can’t step up to the plate.

“Serve yourself first,” I could recommend, and yet some might think that recommendation is profoundly selfish.

“Do not accept crumbs for love as truth,” I could then declare, to which this scribe can attest with tremendous clarity that there is almost nothing worse than being starved for love when you have so much to give.

Ask yourself if you are afraid to receive love. If your intuitive answer leans toward the affirmative, dive deeper and proclaim yourself worthy of being nourished, and then ask yourself if you are willing to affirm, “I Am worthy of being loved exactly as I Am,” each and every time an echo of a past hurt dares to come to the surface for resolution and release.

You are worthy of being loved exactly as you are. That is the truth of every master or evolved spiritual being who has pushed the boundaries of their egos’ limitations and held sacred the sanctity of the soul’s adventure, even if a few chapters need to come to a close before new ones can be written.

I Am speaking on behalf of many within our realm and the ones beyond when I remind you to take the time to make self-care your highest priority.

Every seed you plant this year deserves the chance to grow and be nourished in a healthy environment. Remember that your body cannot thrive with only the bare minimum.

Dare yourself to tip the scales in favour of love.

Let everything shift along with it and trust that your soul is watching carefully in order to make sure you are being kept safe from harm. Do not ignore the warnings being given. Even if the voices are familiar to you, trust that tough love is, in fact, love that needs to be expressed in a way that someone will take notice. If those who need to shift gears refuse to listen, that is on them, too.

Be true to yourself, Dear Ones.

Love.

Evolve.

Give yourself permission to live in harmony with your soul’s adventurous nature. It will lead you to pathways that are waiting to be explored.

Stepping stones to freedom

Your past does not equal your future.
Tony Robbins

You are entitled to have a voice. While we are aware that many of you were told children are meant to be seen and not heard, many of you silenced yourselves due to a fear of rejection and abandonment. Do not fear breaking this pattern, for your soul would never reject or abandon you, no matter what you have said or done—or not said and not done.

“Shift gears,” your soul would tell you as it wants you to accelerate, “but be mindful of how gently you manoeuvre twists and turns.”

Not every turn will lead you to a dead end, but as it has been said a time or two before (originally by this scribe and repeated by us), “Dead ends are often ‘you-turns’ in disguise.”

Embrace breaks in your day to enjoy integrating your soul’s light.

We hope you enjoy the message from the Elohim below, as it contains energies your inner realm might very well be needing.

Every single choice you make has the potential to create a ripple effect.

Do your best to choose love every step of the way.

Blessings to you, today and always.

Mother Mary

If you were to land on the moon and look around, chances are you would notice the size of other planets appreciably differently. In the same vein, if you were to land inside the inner realm of a different person, you might not judge them nearly as harshly as they—or others—have in the past.

Do you need the label of “good” or “bad” when there are so many options to choose from in between? What if what you thought was a “bad choice” was the best choice a person could make, given the circumstances?

There is no level of perfection as defined by the ego that can even remotely match the level of perfection which is constantly ascribed by the soul to the personality from one lifetime to the next.

You, like billions of others, will immediately expand your consciousness when you leave your physical body behind.

Some of you will need immediate rest.

Some of you will request to visit with a specific ascended master or archangel because their energy is directly needed to assist you during the transition stage.

Do not fear transcending your former self. Your soul knows this is a natural part of the ascension process.

You will not become stuck in a state of permanent limbo upon stepping out of your physical body and into the light sphere your soul calls its home. You will heal there. You will release all outmoded belief systems, including all religious training designed to help you to learn and grow.

No one is exempt from the wheels of karma until various cycles have been completed.

Be careful when judging a person’s level of consciousness. Some master teachers are disguised as people who no longer fit in—or who didn’t fit in in the first place. No, these are not adepts by chance; they are spiritual aspirants by choice, and they agreed to relay direct and indirect messages from those who continue to assist them throughout this specific lifetime, which is but one of many your soul chooses to experience as it makes its way to the state of perfection needed to achieve Nirvana.

Be patient with yourself, as every child must stumble a time or two, both physically and otherwise, before regaining the proper footing.

You, too, will learn and relearn many lessons. Please be patient with those who did not have the emotional support they needed during their formative years, as this directly impacts one’s ability to overcome feelings of unworthiness.

There is no lottery you can enter to select the types of lifetimes you have all experienced. (In fact, many would not consciously choose a handful of them, were their egos in charge.) Every lifetime has lessons and blessings. Learn to search for an embrace them, as this will give your inner child a fighting chance when facing adversity.

In a so-called “perfect world,” everyone would be honest and forthcoming about their inner hurts without stockpiling grievances until they become unmanageable. Do yourself—and your soul—a favour and let everything that doesn’t bring joy to your heart go.

Bless the lessons your soul has given you to learn throughout this unique lifetime. While the intricacies surrounding your next lifetime have yet to be determined, your soul often chooses to design each one with the same people who challenged you during your previous lifetime. As many refer to those people as members of their “soul family,” so are those bonds everlasting—at least until a conscious choice is made to extricate your energies. This cannot be done by the ego, much to the chagrin of many.

Strive to be humble in the face of triumph for many will fail repeatedly, only to be greeted with shame and rejection. Be willing to put yourselves in their shoes and add extra doses of compassion when you sense they are needed. Don’t forget to start with yourself first. It’s impossible to give from an empty cup, after all.

With love from the Elohim.

Flowing forward

The height of a man’s success is gauged by his self-mastery; the depth of his failure by his self-abandonment.
Leonardo da Vinci

What brings you a sense of peace and equanimity within?

What sets you apart from those around you who tend to misjudge you from time to time?

Do you ever wonder what your soul thinks about those who act one way toward your face yet the complete opposite behind your back?

It is not our role to deny conflict from existing, but to find a way to act as catalysts for peace so that the polarities can be integrated, both within yourself and the person with whom there is a slight discord.

If you feel called to serve the world’s healing, trust that doing so requires a good, honest look at where things have fallen out of alignment. Try to give others as well as yourself the benefit of the doubt, and don’t hold onto anger and resentment, which are impediments to the soul’s love.

Do not underestimate your soul’s strength or your intuition, for they are formidable allies that will guide you through waters that might seem less than hospitable. To that end, we hope you find value in the message this scribe was recently requested to transcribe on behalf of Djwhal Khul and El Morya.

Maitreya

✨

“It is time to manoeuvre through the quagmire,” the infidel said.

“I never agreed to go through a swamp,” the cynic declared.

“To some, the swamp is protective,” Djwhal Khul remarked. “It is merely temporary, as are all things that annoy people. The mistake so many tend to make is allowing little things get to them. This does not do any favours for the physical vessel.”

“Neither does the swamp,” snorted the cynic, who was soon sopping wet. Within moments, however, a waterfall appeared, and the cynic was able to wash his clothes while feeling refreshed in the sun and clear water.

“It is said that Quan Yin visited these same waters,” Djwhal Khul continued. “They were considered sacred within her circle, and she, too, concurred that while the swamp was unpleasant, the reward was worth the effort and the time it took to get here.”

The fool looked around and felt a sense of peace that had eluded the group for quite some time.

“When do you think you’ll meet him?” the young girl asked the woman. “And don’t tell me that you don’t care, because I know you do.”

“There are others who will gladly step forward when my time with you has passed,” Djwhal Khul mentioned, stopping the woman from overthinking, which never did her any good.

“Being love is different from praying for it, you know,” he added, causing the woman to look up from the journal she had been writing in.

“I’m not sure why, but I feel like I’m going to run into someone I once dated,” she replied.

“Maybe, maybe not,” D.K. said. “But I’m glad you’re starting to feel more optimistic. It wouldn’t be such a bad idea to reconsider going back to England. Glastonbury has been calling your name for a handful of years and returning to the U.K. would feel like a homecoming of sorts.”

“The pull is strong, but I don’t know if it’s time, just yet.”

“Give yourself a few months. You might change your mind.”

“Djwhal Khul …” the young girl asked in a questioning tone. “Why have I been outcast?”

“It can be challenging to release those who no longer serve your soul’s purpose. Send them gratitude and remember that you, too, have left behind those who did not meet you where you wanted and needed to be.”

The woman then heard a familiar voice say, “As far as soul contracts go, many of you instantly know when an important person enters your sphere. Do not ignore the intuitive prompting that often accompanies these encounters, yet detach yourself from what you believe the outcome should be. Everyone has certain limits, and while some chomp at the bit to broaden and deepen them, others will stand as far back from the edge of taking a leap of faith for fear of falling face first into depths of despair.”

“Has that happened to you before?” El Morya asked the woman as he stepped forward fully.

“I had a feeling you were nearby,” she answered.

“When have I willingly denied an opportunity to witness your growth?”

“Not that I can recall,” the cynic said, looking around at the scenery.

“Ah, synergy and scenery,” El Morya said. “So many words can easily be modified to mean something else. Some might say that the entire alphabet is alchemical in nature.”

“Where to now?” the infidel inquired.

A dragon suddenly appeared overhead. The woman gasped with delight, as it had been a few years since any dragons had entered their circle.

“They are forbearers of tremendous change,” Djwhal Khul stated. “Remember that you have come this far because you are a warrior by nature.”

“And now she’s a warrior in nature,” the fool teased.

El Morya chuckled and then looked at the woman with a solemn expression. “You must not fear transitioning to higher planes. This brief respite was meant to remind you that even when things have fallen apart, you have the will and the strength to rebuild. An Adept’s journey is not unlike that of a Chela, but it will require you to practice more self-control. Let silence be your friend and not your enemy. The soul can be heard when the cacophony of the world has been set aside, even if it is only for a few short minutes each day. Trust its wisdom, as well as your own. Freedom is one of the rewards of self-mastery.”

“And so it is,” declared the young girl.

Ascension challenges

When we learn how to become resilient, we learn how to embrace the beautifully broad spectrum of the human experience.
Jaeda Dewalt

Maitreya asked me to tap into the Elohim at the start of this morning’s channeling session. This is one of the things they had to share: “Your ability to remain sovereign is challenged by those who continue to attempt to undermine you. Do not fall prey to their betrayal of themselves nor allow it to cause you to fall prey to your own.”

Maitreya then said, “We often draw a line between the spectrum of a person’s experience and how others have projected their own perceptions onto the growth periods both parties have been enduring. This line is not static but serves as a way to place a stop/start that is often felt within. Your inner realm will understand what this means without attempting to overanalyze it.”

Maitreya paused before continuing. “When do you come to the point where darkness and light are facing each other? If you magnify what appears to be a line between the two, you will see that they are intertwined, just as your own journey toward ascension can also be intertwined with those who believe themselves to be far more pious. This is an illusion. Growth is growth, and if a person makes what others deem to be a gross error in judgment, look at the outcome and then ask yourself if that mistake was actually a catalyst to catapult sovereignty to the forefront. This is where true change begins and self-destructiveness can make its final exit. Push beyond your self-imposed limitations. Trust that the soul’s alchemy has far reaching effects and grant others the grace that you, too, would wish to receive if you were undergoing a period of intense transformation. In the meantime, we hope Archangel Michael’s message below also serves to catapult readers into the next phase of their awakening with greater ease and clarity. And so it is.”

Namaste.

Who do you admire most in the world? Is that person alive, or has he, she, or they (being pronoun sensitive) transitioned to the place where you, too, will return during what we term the time between time?

What is your favourite movie? Do you have a favourite book in lieu of a television show that once provided entertainment?

The reason for us asking these questions has much to do with the distractions you are allowing to take the place of forward movement on your own ascension journey.

Please do not mistake the need for rest as simply tied to mental or physical exhaustion. Many times it is because you feel the need to escape this mortal coil, as it was once coined and repeated many times since Hamlet was first penned.

How often do you binge watch a television program in lieu of going on a new adventure?

What is your greatest fear? Is it love? Death? Abandonment? All three seemingly rolled into one?

There is much that we can tell you about the time between time. What stories and adventures do you wish to relay once you have left your physical body behind? Is it difficult to imagine what it would be like to no longer occupy what you have become accustomed to?

As many undergo a period of intense transformation following a near death experience, so are those who received a small dose of what is termed “Divine Intervention” also impacted to a tremendous degree.

Do not forget where you came from. Let your mind imagine what this place is like and how often you visit with ascended masters (as they are often termed), not to mention those of us in the archangelic realm who foresee many shifts occurring within the Earth plane during the next decade alone.

Do not abandon yourself if you are enduring a dark period during your soul’s adventure. Many more new horizons await your exploration.

With much love,

Archangel Michael

Preparing to soar

We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
Joseph Campbell

“Lighten up,” the cynic remarked. “People are going to start pushing you away from them.”

“They already have,” the fool observed.

“Let them,” the young girl said. “I’m tired of pretending I’m something I’m not.”

“Perhaps you might want to consider this concept instead: you were operating from an old version of who you are that was based on how you were conditioned,” Maitreya declared. “When you’re ready to change that, you’ll no longer be the caboose of a very long and emotionally draining train.”

“Do you still have the transcription I asked you to record?” Maitreya then asked the woman.

“I do,” she replied.

“You accepted vows a number of years ago to create a sacred sanctuary within yourself where you would be safe expressing your truth. While the circumstances of your life have not been and no longer are exactly as you would like them to be, those who are struggling to step into their authentic selves have benefited from the words we have asked you to share on our behalf. This is a role you agreed to.”

“Even if it made people uncomfortable?” inquired the cynic.

“As many are aware, it is easy to maintain the status quo when the Universe does not attempt to intervene. Are you ready?”

“I Am,” the fool affirmed, feeling the sense of power those two simple words contained.

“You were ready quite a while ago,” Maitreya replied. “It simply took time to peel back the layers preventing you from expressing yourself without trying to make yourself appear perfect in the eyes of those who tend to judge—or, rather, misjudge—every transgression. “Did I need to go through this?’ you might be wondering, and the answer your soul would give you is a resounding ‘yes.’”

Maitreya looked around before continuing. Everyone met his gaze without flinching or turning away. He smiled, knowing that the time had come for them to hear the rest of what he had to say.

“If your desire for freedom is strong, you will stand up against all who attempted to diminish your light—not by proclaiming superiority in any way, shape, or form, but by finding your centre and nourishing the light that might have been neglected as a result of negative belief systems that were instilled long before you would be ready to dare yourself to break the bonds of societal and familial conditioning. This requires tremendous risk, not to mention courage, both of which you learned by pretending to be something that you weren’t. I would like to challenge you to sit with that before proceeding. Taking a leap of faith will give you wings to soar.”

“And so it is,” the cynic said.

“Indeed and in deed, as El Morya would tell you.”

“So be it,” the Queen pronounced, banging her staff on the ground with sufficient force so as to send reverberations straight through to the woman’s bones.

“So be it,” echoed the woman before setting down her pen.

✨

Let yourself be taken to the end of the line, for the caboose is a sign for all that the last in the train is always the forbearer to a clear track. That does not say that the caboose has no function or purpose. In many ways, it is just as important than all the cargo that is being pulled forward.

There is much to say about distancing yourself from those who are carrying toxic baggage that they refuse to give to anyone but you. Let that sink in if you are the one who has the strength and courage to shoulder a large portion of the distractions that have been swirling around. If others are attempting to find their centre, they will learn to see beyond the chaos they have permitted. If they see you as the one causing chaos and that is the farthest thing from your mind, take a step back and reframe the situation.

A gnarled tree is often a beautiful thing to behold, and even though furniture made from burled wood can be breathtaking to view, a tree cannot stand on roots that are rotting.

Are you standing on solid ground? How deep and strong are your own roots? Have you delved within to determine whether there are any that have become entangled, stunting further growth?

Do not fear uprooting yourself and finding a place where you can thrive. Those who are meant to support you will continue to do so. Those who are seeking to be with you for their own gain must learn to become more independent and self-reliant.

Mutually beneficial partnerships are not impossible to create. The Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine within each and every person must—and will—eventually come into perfect alignment. Often the process of doing so can fracture relationships that you hoped would stand the test of time.

Think on soul contracts and ask your intuition to provide you with the deeper lessons that are being learned when the people you care about have rejected or abandoned you. Have they also taught you how to become more independent and self-reliant?

“What a beautiful sunrise!” someone might tell you, while on the opposite side of the world the sun is setting, and someone else might be remarking that another day has ended in the most brilliant and magnificent way.

You will be on opposite sides of many situations throughout this incarnation. Remember that it is a spectrum, and within the continuum are opportunities for advancement—some of which are painful to experience.

At first glance, what do you imagine when you clairvoyantly witness the Kingdom of Heaven within?

Trust your intuition. While this has been said by and to millions of people over the last century alone, it proves how important that hidden aspect of your Divine entitlement can be and is.

Some have attempted to convince themselves they are unworthy of receiving any form of Divine Intervention. Those who have experienced it will likely tell you it is nothing short of life-altering. What category does my message fall into?

Do you perceive me as being in the engine or standing atop the caboose, looking at the scenery around and asking you if this is where you wish to stay? Are the engine and caboose at opposite ends or are they framing an aspect of the continuum? It is entirely up to you to move or remove what is being carried in between.

Framing a window requires that the foundation is sufficiently level to support everything that is built on top of it. The presence of a few cracks does not mean the entire structure is going to crumble. They only require a bit of care and attention, as well as the recognition that the Earth must also be able to support everything that has been laid within it, too.

When your life term has reached its soul designed end, there will be a blissful reunion with all who taught you valuable lessons—including ones that were instilled by those who do not seek to comfort you during your hours of need. Let it be so and remember this important truth: you do not need to placate anyone into accepting you for who you are.

We will always be nearby. There is nothing anyone else can say or do that will destroy your soul’s love for you—or ours, for that matter.

You are free to believe you are unworthy to receive; however, if you are reading this second last paragraph, a part of you knows that toxic patterns are no longer a part of your internal framework. Much occurs behind the scenes that is difficult to express in a handful of short paragraphs designed to promote healing. When each lifetime is seen within the continuum of your soul’s adventure, you will witness the glory of your innate magnificence. Believe this to be so and so it is.

I Am Maitreya. Thank you for spending time with me today.

Transitions

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.
Helen Keller

“Into-me-I-see” was once coined by the late Dr. Wayne Dyer and is deemed to be somewhat synonymous with intimacy, which is something many fear without giving adequate voice to inner concerns for recalibration.

Your inner realm does, in fact, know when even the slightest realignment is needed.

Do not fear stepping out of the light of your current awareness so you can bravely step into another.

If you grew up disliking a certain food and later grew to find a taste for it, trust that the reverse could also occur. The same holds true for what you are able to tolerate in the realm of your dynamic relationships, some of which may similarly require refocusing and recalibration.

Just as a camera must be kept clean and well maintained in order to ensure the clearest result, make sure your inner focus is not attached to the distortions of others.

It is not without a slight warning that the post below may elevate some unhealed wounds. As this scribe recently said in a discussion with El Morya, who wished to relay messages to a good friend, the depth of your sorrow will always be the same as the depth of your joy.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving throughout the United States, we ask that you hold space for those who have been left out for reasons that defy logic.

Sitting with the awareness of unfairness doesn’t make for a smooth transition to elevating one’s consciousness overall, but it is a necessary and helpful step when the decision to reduce attachment to a particular outcome is made, simply because trauma does tie, and undoing an inner knot is best handled with the awareness that some cords might be broken in the process.

Liberation is a key element of the ascension journey. It matters little if those who disagreed with you continue to accompany you if they are adept at tripping you, especially when you are attempting to regain your footing.

One drop of the soul’s elixir can work magic. Imagine what a steady stream of the soul’s consciousness can do to assist you in manifesting the dreams that have been lying dormant, awaiting your acute attention.

Can reliving lead to relieving? Absolutely.

Destiny will often play a card when you least expect it. Do not fear showing your hand at the soul’s banquet. You might find a willing partner who is able to provide you with just what you need to attain a winning hand.

Don’t forget that the joker is considered a wild card and the Queen knows full well that the King cannot win without the assistance of another.

Sovereignty requires strength and endurance. The soul has that in spades.

Maitreya

We know some find it difficult to understand why someone who is not religious would be granted access to the Ascended Masters, not to mention the Archangelic realm.

Why would Solomon have been considered a King to those who thought of him only when he was expressing himself as a King normally would? “You do realize that not all kings are just, do you not?” a few might inquire. The same holds true for Queens who hold the monarchy in far higher esteem than the common people.

What if a scribe or messenger of any sort was made better because they learned from hardships more than those who have been protected from misinterpretation, rejection, and abuse?

“How wide and deep is the repertoire of acknowledgment of those who have been undermined?” we could also ask. Those who are unfamiliar with the term might satisfy themselves with all the surface achievements they have attained or been provided and not delve deeper into understanding the pieces which form part of a repertoire of acknowledgment that includes receiving a tremendous electrical shock, only to have the first awareness of the next realm be provided during those few intense and terrifying seconds. (This scribe has a scar proving that this occurred.)

Some mild electrical shocks can promote a fear of electricity that lasts for the remainder of a person’s life term. Others have died because it has been intentionally inflicted.

You were blessed with the ability to forget all the dangers you’ve endured from lifetime to lifetime, yet a number of you also have cellular memories that still recall the Salem witch hunts, not to mention being executed for not converting to the Roman Catholic faith, which was considered an acceptable form of punishment. Needless to say, this was the antithesis of Christian habit that Jesus (also known as Sananda) and his disciples attempted to promote.

Not all the disciples were considered “perfect,” either, and we are certain a handful of you still hold onto memories of sacred times that were spent in their company in various continents for the duration of Sananda’s lifespan on Earth—including what are termed the “lost years.”

What if you were the only one within your circle with the ability to consciously access the hidden chambers of those around you (with their soul’s permission)? Do you think that was done to give that person an upper hand? To some, the answer is “yes,” and to others, an adamant “no” would be more appropriate.

The difference between fact and truth can get mixed up in the minds of those who refuse to look at a situation through the lens of the soul. Who are we to tell you when the scales of karma have been rebalanced?

The act of forgiving those who have trespassed against you is not for the faint of heart. True forgiveness involves setting aside the ego and taking a step into the realms of mastery to wipe the slate clean and start anew. This cannot be done when misperceptions are held as more valid.

The soul cannot speak through someone who is unwilling to relay messages without attachment to praise or acknowledgment. If the soul attached itself to requiring a pat on the back every single time a good deed was performed, it would then attach itself to insecurity and vanity. These are aspects to be overcome, not promoted.

Insecurity and “in security” are closely tied to each other, but it is the latter that allows light to transcend misjudgment.

When a kitchen is not as a chef would like it to be, it will affect that person’s ability to create. If your soul’s kitchen is suddenly full of people who are more prone to undermining others in lieu of mining under their own self-criticisms, you can imagine that the end result would be less than satisfying.

Who in your kitchen does not operate like a team player? What if your inner realm was similar to this kitchen? Wouldn’t you want the entire team to work in harmony together?

Some lightworkers do their best work after they have overcome periods of intense darkness. Do not criticize yourself if the storm has not yet passed. Give yourself permission to ride it out and do your best to find the blessings hidden within the most difficult of circumstances.

Look at Victor Frankl’s example, not to mention Helen Keller’s. They agreed to challenging situations for the betterment of humanity. Perhaps someone who has experience manoeuvring through the “dark side” so to speak is the best person to lead others to the light within. How else would they have seen their way through to the soul’s freedom?

Thank you for accompanying us on this brief journey. We wish you well.

Letting go

Celebrate endings—for they precede new beginnings.
Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Others will see you through their own lens of awareness. Clear up your own and let that be what matters most.

It is imperative that your self-esteem not be dependent upon the perceptions of others.

Self-growth cannot occur if you are unwilling to release what no longer serves you. Do not be afraid to let go. If that includes the weight of disappointment, trust that your heart does not desire vengeance. Your heart desires freedom. Let that be your goal and your intention during the next stage of humanity’s ever-expanding evolution.

You do not need to reach beyond your comfort zone if you do not wish to do so. That stated, look for ways to push to the edge so you can pierce the illusion of limitation, once and for all.

We will be here for you, as we have always been. We will continue to whisper thoughts to promote your expansion. Please be willing to listen. In the meantime, it is our sincere hope that this message from Maitreya inspires you to check your baggage at the door before walking through it. Do you feel the sense of freedom this offers? We hope the answer is a resounding “Yes!”

Mary Magdalene

🍁

The time has come for you to break free from the past.

While this is something a number of you have heard or read before, there is often an inner declaration made that takes time to rise up to the surface for direct expression. There is little that can be done when the eruptions begin to occur other than to observe them without judgment—or, rather, misjudgment—and simply ask this expression in whatever way it presents itself what you are still attempting to protect. It is quite likely a period of vulnerability will soon follow.

Remember that it can take a while before feelings of satisfaction in the forms of relief and gratitude begin to intermingle with other areas requiring recalibration.

How many sad songs can you listen to without crying? If a part of you is intentionally numb because you fear the flow of tears may start to drown you, trust that the satisfaction of releasing an old wound will be far more empowering than attempting to pretend you can move on without some form of resolution.

If you have a dream about a person with whom you’ve had a falling out and you’re able to express yourself honestly and authentically, even if the other person is not paying attention to your words, congratulate yourself on your courage and then forgive that person for not being able to meet you where you need to be met.

Grief is challenging for people to work through when it is already compounded to begin with. Before misjudging another for coming across as a victim or martyr, we recommend sending a thought of compassion to that person instead, for fear is a shield that they know, and their grief is likely tied to a thought form of love that became distorted over time.

“It is time to move on,” the wind whispered to the woman one day.

“We know this has been difficult for you,” Maitreya said, “but there are others who will advocate in your favour without being prompted to do so. Remember how far you’ve come and how far we would like you to go during the next decade alone. You would not be able to do that if you waste valuable life force energy trying to be something to someone who refuses to receive it without attachment to an outcome or collateral damage being forced in your direction to correct.”

He then added, “If someone has masked their own deceit by projecting their misjudgments upon you, remember that the barbs have been sharpened from the inside and their projection is also a desire for relief.”

The woman paused for a few moments to allow Maitreya’s words to nestle within.

“No one has power over your thoughts except you,” Maitreya declared. “Let that bring you comfort, especially when you are facing what might seem like insurmountable odds at first glance. No one who wanted to climb a mountain would do so without preparing for a descent. Doing so will require you to relinquish your fear of going backwards and trusting that the steps you have taken forward are already set within your repertoire of acknowledgment for safekeeping.”

“Do you need to keep your light in a jar to prove that it is there?” the fool then asked.

“Your light is your own. Do not let anyone take it from you, yet also give yourself permission to shine it without expectation or attachment to a specific outcome,” Maitreya remarked. “The soul will bring things full circle. Sometimes doing so will require you to retrace your steps so that you can create a path to rely on, especially if you can’t see far ahead until the skies begin to clear. Be patient. Be calm. Persevere. All the great explorers who made a name for themselves did so by trusting that what is on the horizon is making way for a new beginning. And so it is.”
