Inner Work – Sheridan Cooke

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

~ Channeled November 24, 2022

✨

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.”

Signs and symbols

You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the ocean in a drop.
Rumi

“Who’s there?” the young girl inquired.

“I never said ‘knock, knock,’” the fool answered.

“I didn’t hear anyone at the door either,” the cynic said, and the fool started to laugh.

“You do know the soul is often silent,” remarked the fool.

“Of course I do, but I also pay attention to signs and symbols, because they appear when I least expect them to.”

“Just like Andromeda and those within her realm,” Maitreya declared. “While we might seem silent, we do our best to guide you in ways that are difficult to measure. Do not hesitate to shift directions if you are intuitively drawn to do so. It might be just the change you need.”

“And so it is,” the woman said.

✨

I often come forward as an individual representative of our realm, and although many might find it difficult to imagine communicating with one light being—not to mention a handful at a time—many of you have become accustomed to the words of “Abraham” and others like them over the last two decades alone.

We are beyond age and time as you know them to be. Some of you may intuitively view us utilizing your third eyes, while others sense a distinct frequency that is difficult to put into words. Some of you might even converse with us directly on your own. Whatever your state of awareness is, trust that in the space of “time” that it takes to read the message from our realm below, your heartbeat is already aligning with a rhythm that can synchronize with our energies without discomfort.

If you feel a mild sense of unease with the concept of interacting with someone who does not occupy a physical body, utilize your imagination to align with any ascended master of your choosing who, while no longer “alive” as you customarily define the term, can easily provide you with the guidance you need to ascend beyond the state of awareness that is as temporary as the clouds that intermingle with the aurora borealis. You may even wish to consider this beautiful spectacle as Gaia’s way of expressing the interchangeability of her dynamic state of being for far more centuries than civilization has depended upon her resources. Let Her be befriended, for you are companions along your soul’s adventures, both individually and collectively as a human family.

“Be all that you can be” is a slogan that many have heard or repeated over the course of their lives, especially in the United States. What motivates you to embrace self-mastery as you know it to be? Perhaps our words will assist you in this regard.

Until our next reunion,

I Am Andromeda

✨

If you were to draw a circle in the middle of a page, and then continue to draw overlapping concentric circles, you would be practicing the art of Sacred Geometry without even knowing that’s what you were doing. Were you to self-study this amazing phenomenon, you would begin to understand the various intricacies that make each petal and each flower small miracles, in and of themselves, just as each of you are miracles, without exception.

Please sit with this for a moment and breathe in the words, “I Am a miracle,” while envisioning a bright colour of your intuitive choosing surrounding your sacred vessel.

“You are not without flaws,” someone who is insecure might choose to project upon you, and it is well within your rights to accept or reject this inconsequential observation, noting the areas where you automatically know occasional improvements could be made until you were willing and completely able to release an old paradigm in favour of a new one.

“Do you understand the mystical realms?” someone who is experienced in self-mastery and expansion might prod you to answer, hoping for another willing partner to explore your universe and begin to consider the myriad of shapes and sizes of known galaxies that are but a thought away, in spite of being millions of light years from where you currently reside.

Some scientists will argue that travelling faster than the speed of light is so-called “impossible,” yet you are doing just that if and when you imagine standing beside us in a sacred sanctuary that invites many elevated light beings to commune with you without fear of attack or condemnation.

You are sacred beings, far wiser and more gifted than what many have begun to explore.

Do not fear stepping into the bubble of light that you created, which will require you to separate yourself mentally so you can envision another aspect of you mirroring your sacred self. Where do you see the strongest connections in your chakra system? “Is there Heaven on Earth?” you might suddenly wonder, and the answer to that question will depend entirely upon how openminded you are willing to be.

As summer holidays are drawing to a close in the northern hemisphere throughout the continent of North America alone, think of the many seasons you have endured in a less than enlightened state, from your soul’s perspective. Does this cause you discomfort or are you willing to bridge the gap and not gap the bridge? While grammatically less than eloquent, trust that even El Morya knows it is difficult to transcend insecurity if you are feeling put down in any way, shape, or form.

Imagine alternate realities and ask your soul to invite corresponding energies to begin to nestle into your physical body, reconciling the imbalances you have carried with you from lifetime to lifetime, so that from this point onward you can expand and contract using your own free will and not be at the mercy of those who care little for your general wellbeing, not to mention the greater aspects of yourself that you have yet to explore.

Be willing to step beyond the confines of your awareness of yourself. Opportunities for expansion are only a thought away, just as your soul’s bliss is available to you the instant you wish to experience it.

We are the Andromedans. Thank you for spending a few minutes of “time” with us today.

Stepping-stones

che·la²

/ˈCHālä/

noun: chela; plural noun: chelas

a follower and student of a guru.

Another definition we would like to provide is “truth and wisdom seeker.”
Mother Mary

Many who claim to be teachers are early students, and those who believe they are novices are often early masters. Do not judge yourself on your path, wait for others to catch up to you, or strain to meet the stride of those who have spent lifetimes preparing for the challenges they are enduring in this one.

“Be mindful of your speaking voice,” a number of us might recommend, and if an immediate retort of sarcasm comes to mind, trust there is unhealed anger lurking beneath the surface.

“Do not change for anyone,” we could also tell you, yet it would be wise for us to also mention that giving yourself a goal to achieve is both noble and worthwhile, especially if you are thinking of long-term success in spite of short-term discomfort.

It is our hope that you will continue to reap the benefit of our words.

Your soul will lead you to where you are meant to be. It is both strong and soft, sturdy yet flexible, silent but sometimes loud, and everything in between. Be all of who you are, especially when others are rallying against you, attempting to obstruct your every move. Those are the times you must tap into your wellspring of strength and perseverance, which you have harnessed throughout multiple lifetimes.

Archangel Michael

“Courage, young traveler,” a few of us have said to this scribe and others over the years. We challenge you to make use of your time on Earth, for there are many places beyond it that you visit, both during your dreamtime and what we often refer to as the “time between time.”

You are not your body, as many of you have read before. You are also not the things you have done or not done, nor are you the misjudgments of others. You are, however, a magnificent creation of Divine light, embodied in human form. Embrace the gift this opportunity provides you, and embrace the opportunities this gift provides you, for they are one and the same, just as you are all One in the Universal Consciousness of All That Is, no matter how far apart your perceptions may seem from one another.

Before I continue, I would like you to ponder this one request:

Take time to acknowledge the blessings your life has provided to you. While you may need to dig deeper for some of them, even disappointments and failures will lead you to brighter and greater discoveries once the pain of loss has left your immediate awareness.

Take the time to acknowledge disappointments as opportunities for enlightened advancement, for the lessons you glean from them will help to clear the path, just as stepping-stones pave the way from one destination to another but are rarely—if ever—carried by the person who uses them as what they are meant to be: transition placements that allow you to maintain your footing on your rightful path.

“Where do you wish to be in a year from now?” the inimitable El Morya asked the other day.

How has your intuition served you throughout your life? Are you willing to allow it to continue to be your constant and faithful companion, regardless of who has come and gone over the years you have occupied your temporary physical body, which will be discarded without shame or regret once this lifetime has come to its logical and natural end? To some, this statement might not seem accurate, but to others who have consciously embraced the highs and lows of the Earth’s topography, so are the highs and lows of the Universal landscape meant to be experienced so that you can appreciate how many blessings are sure to accumulate in what we have often lovingly referred to as a person’s “repertoire of acknowledgment.”

“How vast this has become!” you could easily observe, were you to take a brief trip through the Akashic Records. Ask to be shown them during your dreamtime and make notes upon awakening. Who came to visit and teach you? Who has come to warn you during previous nocturnal sojourns not to travel down a certain path?

How many of you would like to become adepts after the path of a chela has been traversed and until the masters of your soul’s choosing have done their part to teach you how to manoeuvre through the landscape you chose before birth?

“Ah, the spirit of a warrior,” one of us could observe. So many scars, from battles both won and lost. But the heart, often weary from traveling many great distances without the comfort it seeks, longs to return home to the soul’s light where it knows it will forever be safe from harm. Remember that during the remainder of this life term, dear and brave travelers, for you are watched over at every step and curve that you encounter.

Until next time,

I Am Maitreya

Love will always win

If we are caught by the obstacle of knowledge, even if truth comes knocking at our door, we will refuse to let it in.
Thich Nhat Hanh

Archangel Michael came forward during this morning’s channeling session to discuss the topic of karma. As always, his guidance and wisdom spoke to my heart.

Namaste.

🌼

As summer is beginning to wind to a close in certain parts of the Northern Hemisphere, spring flowers are preparing to reveal themselves in other areas of the world.

Many are content with their life circumstances and playfully express themselves with little to no thought of their childhood. Those who suffered abuse in a wide variety of forms do not always view themselves as victims, although some might be convinced they are delivering conflicting messages to the outer world. Victims often bloom a little later in life than they or others would like. Relinquishing attachment to victimhood and self-inflicted judgment—or misjudgment, as the case may be—are absolutely essential for this to occur.

The soul has its own seasons and reasons for rebalancing the scales of justice when a person is least expecting it. Do not let that alarm or frighten you, as I am about to explain a different side of karma that some might not have considered. This is intended to help you become more soul centred, which will always serve your overall growth.

Some growth spurts can be extremely painful; others happen seemingly overnight, especially when the soul has been preparing for an important shift and the ego finally relinquishes its attachment to a particular outcome. Relationships can suddenly change or end in the blink of an eye as a result, leaving one person shocked by another person’s sudden departure. The benefit of this is that room has been made for new growth to burst forth. That stated, it is distressing for those who seek to explain themselves to be shunned out of malice or apathy—or both—being that they can act as window dressings revealing a darker dimension of the interior of the other person with little to no effort whatsoever.

“Karma’s a b*tch,” some have said, not understanding that the world does not revolve around them. Karma is something that is assigned with the soul’s acceptance that balancing and rebalancing are both necessary in the overall lifespan of the soul’s evolution, which includes far more lifetimes than what many might anticipate.

The drawers of the world do not see a dresser in the same way as a dresser views a drawer. This can be interpreted a handful of ways, just as an innocent comment can be interpreted in a way that dismisses the soul’s light from entering, particularly when a disagreement did not exist in the first place.

How many times have you sought closure with someone who has misinterpreted you?

How many times have you sought to gain clarity for the same reason?

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you is another way of saying you deserve to be treated with love and respect, just as your inner realm would readily proclaim the same if given an opportunity to do so.

We cannot intervene in affairs of the ego. We can, however, step in and provide necessary instructions on how to alleviate the energetic disruptions caused by a psychic attack, which is synonymous with the intentional infliction of negative thoughts and energy projected by those who are consumed with malice or anxiety. If those feelings were transformed into archetypes exhibiting those uncomfortable feelings, they might begin to perceive themselves as unwelcome neighbours to a heart that only seeks to exude peace, love, and calm.

Alchemy occurs when those same uncomfortable feelings are transmuted and transformed, and sometimes a simple dialogue among a group of archetypes is all that is needed to set the rebalancing process into motion.

Lightworkers are often attacked by those who do not see that the ego can be blind to the heart’s needs.

As this scribe has been instructed to take a brief hiatus within the next few days, we are seeking to bring the following comment forward so that the aspects of your inner realm which might be biding their time waiting for yet one more shoe to drop or justice to be served will begin to accept this as truth:

Trust that karma will make amends.

We are seeking to repeat this three times so your heart, mind, and soul can form an alliance.

“Why didn’t you repeat it?” some might be wondering.

Perhaps you are meant to repeat it to yourself as many times as needed so that the mind can let go of the illusion that it has everything under control.

The heart was born free to perform the vital function of helping keep a body alive. Know that the heart’s aura is far stronger than the ego will ever be. Do not identify with the former and ignore the latter, but check in with yourself from time to time to determine whether all is well within your inner realm.

Archetypal alchemy is not practiced widely as part of mainstream psychology; yet, Carl Jung stood by his research and maintained his conviction that archetypes held the key to establishing accord within.

This scribe was quite accurate in her recent comment to a friend, “If the mind and heart are out of alignment, signals can get crossed.” Please keep this in mind and ask yourself whether your heart’s healing takes priority over a bruised ego that is attempting to rebalance the scales against the soul’s will.

A party of one contains far more attendees than a person might expect. As Source, God, or the Universal Mind are synonymous with the Oneness of All That Is, trust that the heart, mind, and soul are a congealed trinity when the shattered fragments that have been viewed with clarity are seen as a mosaic that was the end result of hopes, wishes, and dreams—as well as friendships and other important relationships—being broken, seemingly beyond repair.

Transformation is second nature to the soul.

Find the beauty offered by the alchemical process, as it will inevitably lead to a feeling of freedom and self-empowerment that cannot be extinguished by an external force.

Let your heart lead. As this scribe also recently mentioned, “Cor ad Cor Loquitur is Latin for ‘heart speaks to heart.’” An interpreter will not be required if the mind is willing to allow the heart to speak its peace.

Embrace the desire to heal with as much love and compassion as you are able to give and receive.

A unified world can easily be the result of people who are willing to be unified within. Indeed, it depends on it.

Love will always win.

On behalf of the entire Archangelic realm,

I AM the Archangel Michael.

Setting miracles into motion

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Anaïs Nin

Mother Mary’s message below calls to those who are in need of a boost of focused, positive energy. We hope you will be willing to receive it. Did you hear an inner part of yourself declaring “I AM”? Those are two of the most powerful words that set miracles into motion.

It is our sincere hope that you will declare yourself worthy of the liberation and freedom the soul seeks to offer so that you, too, can set a few more miracles into motion.

Wishing you a blissful Sunday and an uplifting week ahead.

I AM Maitreya

Relationships are tested when the challenges of intimacy versus independence are explored. A modulated approach works best with those who are more accustomed to the latter in lieu of the former.

As many see the world in black versus white, right versus wrong, and in versus out, know that the opposite perspective is obviously not the opposite to those who are seemingly against you—or, at the very least, looking at you through a lens you can’t entirely identify with.

Some view mediums through a lens that is based on judgment of whether that person can provide another with new information that would verify the medium’s expertise. Suppose you were right and you could easily tell that the person isn’t on the “up and up.” That stated, what if the medium was able to access an area of your inner realm that wasn’t accustomed to being seen—or heard, for that matter? What if the person experiencing what we would define as an “archetypal rebalancing” instantly knew that a slightly shifted perspective would be extremely beneficial, even though the archetype in question (whether singular or plural) lived (for lack of a better word) in a rarely accessed area?

The singular word “lived” was intentionally set between two brackets of text so you could focus on it ever so briefly. What patterns or habits are preventing you from fully embracing a life with fewer limits than what you were previously accustomed to? What if that archetype was fearful of removing those limitations because the thought of living without them was too great to bear? Would it not be illogical to bear a burden that no longer held value? Wouldn’t it be easier to bare that burden instead so it could be transformed into something more intrinsically useful?

A careful examination of one’s inner archetypal realm is not difficult, but it does require the ability to be brutally honest about the judgments being held—both against oneself and others. Were those judgments to be set to a standard other than the ego’s fears and insecurities, how easily would your life experiences shift to something more liberating, appealing, and freeing? Aren’t liberation and freedom close cousins to each other? What is appealing to you that would bring them into balance and harmony?

You are not weak, unlovable, undesirable, or insecure on a soul level by any stretch of the imagination. If anything, you merely adopted those feelings because of experiences that caused the limitations to be set into place in the first place. First place is gold, though, isn’t it? Can you imagine yourself excavating for gold, even though a modest amount of effort will be needed?

We often recommend “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron to people who are slowly starting out on their journeys of self-discovery. It is an important and necessary tool for those who have not yet connected with an inner child that is being protected by fear and a fundamental desire to be free from pain. We encourage those who no longer fall in this category to graduate to the next level of Julia Cameron’s books by exploring “The Vein of Gold.”

Those who are interested in archetypes are encouraged to similarly explore Debbie Ford’s groundbreaking book, “The Dark Side of the Light Chasers,” or dive into “Sacred Contracts” by Caroline Myss.

Do not think for a moment that we are mentioning these books to sabotage an inner saboteur who is bound and determined (or perhaps bound, undetermined) to maintain the status quo. We mention them to encourage people to challenge the status quo.

Charge your inner rebel with stating the words “enough already” if you find yourself falling into patterns that you consciously know are limiting at best and downright defeating at worst. There is no happy balance between the two, when it comes right down to it. The only happy balance that can be found is if the keys to inner freedom are located within the heart.

We are not here to tell you that you are wrong or that others are to blame for your current circumstances, should you be consciously aware of the desire to transcend feelings of unworthiness or self-betrayal. We are here, however, to encourage you to nourish and flourish.

To close today’s message, we would like you to focus on simply taking those two rhyming words and infusing them with positive energy.

Nourish and flourish.

Your soul will take care of the rest.

With love and an abundance of focused, positive energy,

I AM Mother Mary

Paradigm shifts

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.
Anaïs Nin

This is a short post, compared to the one I was guided to share yesterday. It was immediately evident during this morning’s channeling session that El Morya wished to circle back and touch upon the topic of shadow work ever so briefly. Part way through, a friend came through on a soul level and stated, “We overreact because you poke and prod areas that we don’t want anyone to look at. Work with that.”

“Can do,” El Morya replied, accepting the challenge. “That said, we would like people to work on areas that are out of alignment with their soul’s highest truth. If that means poking and prodding areas which have been off-limits, perhaps those who intentionally retaliate are reactive because they can’t imagine life any other way. As much as succumbing to drama is a fallback pattern for people who are accustomed to enjoying their lives, blissfully unaware that the soul seeks to broaden and deepen their understanding of lifetimes past and the ones that are to come, the heart and mind need only come into congruence with each other. You would be hard-pressed to find any diamond that doesn’t seek to shed the layers preventing its hidden gifts from being displayed. On the other hand, those diamonds must first pass the test of those who seek to utilize the tools they have accumulated to their best advantage. Our role as Teachers of Truth has everything to do with finding those diamonds and encouraging people to look to the future and not the past when attempting to instill a new paradigm. ‘The answers are within’ might very well be cliché, but isn’t being reactive a pattern that deserves recalibration? What are your hopes and dreams for the future? What repeating patterns do you wish to improve or remove? The choice is up to you, and all you need to do to come into alignment with your soul’s light is to embrace it. You cannot do that when you are holding onto yesterday’s news or old wounds seeking to be healed before being released. Bend into the wind if it is pressing against you. It will strengthen you without causing you to lose your balance. Bend into the areas in need of healing. They will strengthen you without causing you to fall; only to climb higher on your journey toward ascension.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

“Bring it on,” my inner cynic then said. “As an archetype with the purpose of being a protectorate, one of my other gifts is to show where things are out of alignment. You have learned this through trial and error, but also because you allowed me to have a voice. ‘Many blessings are to come’ is something Maitreya told you years ago. While those were blessings in disguise, so were all the diamonds that have since been chiseled. If others are unable to view the ‘new and improved’ version of you, perhaps they have yet to view the same within themselves. A hero’s journey will often display the pitfalls in tandem with the triumphs, and every race combines both a start and finish line. Do you need to finish the race running at the same speed throughout? Of course not. What you do need to do, however, is remind people to stop looking outside themselves for answers. Tell them to answer the questions and question the answers. Maitreya has told you that a few times, too. El Morya was right, by the way. The answers ARE within, but so are the hopes and dreams awaiting fulfilment and commitment. Allow those two to walk hand in hand, just as the heart and mind are also meant to accompany each other as allies and not adversaries.”

“I couldn’t have said that better myself, either,” Maitreya teased, joining us to simply say and say simply: “You can do it. Your soul believes in you.”

As a parting comment, and embracing his penchant for modern vernacular, El Morya blurted, “You’ve got this. Just saying.”

Attaining inner freedom is worth the effort. So are you.
