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.

The Council

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.

Embracing Love: A Path to Healing

There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.

~ Bryant H. McGill

It matters little what is said or done if your thoughts are not in alignment with what your soul’s mission is for you. While this concept might seem odd or inconclusive, perhaps Sananda/Jesus’s message below might provide some clarity.

We hope you will find value in this transcription. Thank you in advance for adhering to the desire to be present for three or four minutes so you can integrate the Light Codes it contains.

Mary Magdalene

✨

Forgiving yourself for hurting someone is only required if you were intentional in your actions. Being expected to offer an apology to someone when no harm was intended might very well prompt you to seriously rethink whether the connection you shared with that person was as unconditionally loving as you would personally prefer.

When this scribe was asked to relay “last rights” to her mother after an intentional overdose left her in a coma, the first words we asked her to repeat were, “All is forgiven.”

“Does that make sense?” some of you might be wondering. To that end, does it also make sense to apologize for something you didn’t do?

Assuaging a person’s ego isn’t something the soul desires by any stretch of the imagination. What the soul chooses to do—much to the chagrin of the ego on many occasions—is provide opportunities for healing which require the ego to circumvent misjudgment in exchange for expansion of awareness.

Humanity does not need someone to come down from the next realm to say, “This is how things should be.” However, it is important to remind people that humanity’s survival ultimately requires the ego to display its shortcomings in order to improve them and set aside misgivings and misperceptions in exchange for opening the mind and heart to the Oneness of All That Is.

True Christianity does not divide, it unites. It brings together people who would otherwise not want to see others as equals even though, deep down, the only thing that separates people is how they choose to live their lives.

Those who choose to live in harmony within themselves have the upper hand, so to speak. That doesn’t mean those same people can’t choose to uplift others; in fact, that might be exactly what humanity needs right now.

As solemn as this post might be, so is it important to understand that we have everyone’s best interests at heart—even those who might otherwise think they already know what’s best or what other people “should” be doing. Is that not the ego’s way of separating what is “good” from what simply requires a bit of conscious improvement?

What do you think “Judgment Day” is supposed to look like? Isn’t it an awareness of the ways in which everyone—both individually and collectively—can simply ask the following question:

How much love do I want to give and receive?

Isn’t it loving to extend a helping hand to those in need?

Isn’t it loving to have what is often referred to as a “difficult conversation” in order to find common ground in lieu of points of difference so that the ego can steadfastly hold onto anger or hurt that have no place in the soul’s desire to ascend to a state of Nirvana that so many have sought during each lifetime chosen by your soul for the sheer purpose of making the world as you know it to be a better place in lieu of a bitter one?

While the foregoing paragraph is acknowledged as being a single run-on sentence, it is intended to offer a way to stand in your truth and ask yourself whether some of the truths you’ve been holding onto are simply misjudgments that have no place in your overall growth.

As the Oneness of All That Is combines all directions of time—which is not linear but multi-layered—so is your inner realm also comprised of vast layers of awareness that have yet to become compatible with your soul’s desire to unite so-called “opposites” so they can be Divine representations of the Oneness of All That Is in your own unique way. You are, after all, a spark of the Divine.

You are whole and human, even though some of you might feel fragmented from time to time.

Do not deny yourself an opportunity to liberate yourself from your ego’s fears. Learn how to understand them and apply love to areas where insecurity has hidden itself into a corner, crying out for attention and a chance to release all self-imposed limitations that were previously held onto as truth.

A “truth” is not permanent. It is simply a belief that has yet to be challenged in the name of love so it can be refuted if it does not support your soul’s unique plan for you.

Love requires the commitment to become conscious of the ways in which corrections and connections form part of the soul’s “repertoire of acknowledgment,” as my dear friend El Morya refers to it.

Love requires commitment to love, doesn’t it? It also requires a commitment to stating the obvious from time to time:

There are ways in which everyone can improve.

No one is “less than” because they haven’t completed the soul’s curriculum. In fact, some of the people who have endured repeated disappointments did so for a higher purpose. Their experiences—as difficult as they were—served as catalysts for growth, assisting them in discovering ways to manoeuvre through the world in peace and relative solitude, connecting with nature and animals alike in order to receive the unconditional love required to survive as well as thrive.

Love does not require you to be what others want you to be. It requires you to be yourself and accept that no one has the right to bully you or cut you down if you aren’t deemed “perfect.”

Perfection is the soul’s domain, not the ego’s.

Love does not require you to sacrifice who you are. It requires you to embrace who you are and make amends to the aspects of yourself that have felt undervalued or underappreciated.

It is not your job to tell people where they need to improve. It is your job to tell people that you will support them as they make self-love their highest priority. No doubt, many are sadly lacking in that department, and the last thing they need is to be made to believe they aren’t good enough.

Everyone deserves love.

Everyone deserves compassion.

Everyone deserves forgiveness.

Let this be your conscious mission: to love without condition. Then you will be sharing your soul’s overarching mission in this lifetime, in all the ones to come, and in all the ones you’ve experienced.

Let love resonate in every direction of time.

Let it become One with All That Is.

That is your soul’s vision of Nirvana.

And so it is.

I AM Sananda, but many of you know me as Jesus the Christ.

We love you all.
