In Their Own Words: Messages From the Higher Realm and the Unexpected Journey of Their Envoy

Many of you know I had been working on a book and had finished it.  A couple of you have read it and felt it needed to be “out there.”  Being I have not yet published it, either not having an agent or raising the needed funds to self-publish as yet, I felt time was passing and what I needed to do was to begin to post at least the Archangel messages from the book, as I do not own those – they belong to all.  I will go through them in alphabetical order so it will be easier for you to find them. 

   What begins each one is a bit of prose by me in how I see each one in my mind’s eye, or relate to them.  Of course they are not truly formed in these images, as they are pure energy, but in order for my mind to capture the feeling of them, they have images to me, some quite striking and real, others more vague around the edges but with a strong presence of energy.

   For those of you that may be visiting the blog for the first time, you might feel a bit lost in not knowing what I have been told my soul’s energy is.  For a brief explanation, read the very first blog from February 11, 2012, to better understand the crux of what words come from my soul and why.

 

   I hope you enjoy these and gain something from the words they have sent, for that was their intention.  I was guided to begin with the Forward of the book, and the chapter about Archangels in general.  I hope to post thereafter about every two weeks with messages from the Archangel energies and perhaps other parts of the book, so as not to inundate anyone with too much to read.  I hope this timing works for you all. 

   So let us begin ~

Foreword

I want to say here and now that I hold no special power, for in truth, we all hold power. I am not special, just different.  But we are all different on many levels and we all hold the same truth in that we are all part of the Infinite Source.  We are the representatives of the One on this planet, that One manifesting as us - you and me.  And we all have a gift to bring.  Some of us bring that gift forth more easily than others, some of us hide it in a closet.  I have finally chosen to step boldly out of my closet and share the light that needs to pour forth from my gift, and I can only hope that this book inspires some of you to answer the call and do the same.  Step out of the closet and let your light shine forth, for this planet, for all beings on this planet.  The Universe needs for you to do just that.

Perhaps you think there are enough books on the meaning of life.  Perhaps you think that too many people have an opinion on what that meaning is.  Perhaps you are right.  And maybe you think that anyone that says they channel from another realm, or even more, claims to be an incarnated Archangel, a being from another planet, or has spent lives with elementals, has gone over the edge.  But there are so many searchers and so many who have found a part of the truth, including within themselves, that it is important to get all thoughts out there.  It is only your job to weed through and see what rings true for you and what doesn’t.   Just remember - many who changed the world were not agreed with by all.  Quite the opposite, in fact.

Some might resonate with the words in this book and say, “YES!”  Others might find much of it blasphemous.  But there is one truth that I have learned above all others, that allowing opinions - not getting into conflict about them - should be the true basis for all religions, orthodox or otherwise, and all spiritual teachings.  The truth of them comes down to one word - Love.  That is the true foundation of all things, all manifestation.  It is what The One, God, the Infinite Source of All That Is, truly is.  It is what Jesus taught, Buddha taught, and is what the answer is to all life.  We can and need to be diversified, for that is what expands this wonderful Universe; but it is in the allowing, not in the conflict, that enables God to truly live within each and every one of us and everything we see, touch, smell, taste and feel.  That is the living God.  We are all one from the One, and what you do to your brother, you do to yourself.  The “butterfly effect.”  Your words, your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions ripple out into this world, this Universe, as they are pure energy, and therefore, will come back to you.  So make them loving.

In truth, there are no new ideas on this subject.  The truth has been with us since Creation.  It comes forth through remembering and comes forth in a variety of ways, each spoken or written of as remembered by many different souls. Each one brings it forth with words familiar to them, either from them or from energies around them.  It is how they are stated that you either embrace them or not.  Depending on what words ring true  for you, or in the way they are stated, can it take meaning for you.  But essentially they all carry the same idea.  Each one of us resonates to different ways of understanding these words depending upon the workings of our own minds and thought patterns.

I’ve read so many books with so many ideas and variations on ideas.  However, some are repeated by many writers; things also found in ancient texts, sacred writings of old.  These are the things that show consistency and must be looked at.  Anything that will help during the evolution of humankind that is written about, like love, gratitude, and forgiveness, are things that should be part of our daily BE-ing.  There is nothing psychic or crazy about trying to see the Divine within everyone.

It is also shown that the closer one gets to truth, the less diversity there truly is.  All religions, though quite different on the surface, tend to funnel down and become more alike the closer to the real truth they become.  The real basis for all religions comes down to one point – love. 

I believe the word God isn’t for everyone.  It makes it sound like a name, a label, and is connected to too many organized religions, especially in North America.  Labeling such a power brings up pictures that are limiting within themselves.  You could use Infinite Source, Divine Consciousness, Universe, YaHWeH, Goddess, Asherah, Atum, Allah, Brahma, Wakan Tanka, Great Spirit, Father/Mother (or Mother/Father), All That Is.  Maybe one of those would work better, depending on what you are comfortable with.  Whatever you want to call the Higher Consciousness, it is just that.  In this book, I refer to this Being, that Almighty One, the manifesting energy of all things sometimes as “God,” especially from my earlier days, but mostly as “Source.”  Becky, one of my dearest friends and a sister of my heart, lovingly calls this Source, Bob.  She believes that no matter what you call IT, IT is still the same.  And this is not irreverent to her, as she believes it doesn’t matter what you call the All That Is, as names are merely labels and the All That Is cannot be given a label.  Interestingly, I found and sent a card to her once showing a few nuns holding what appeared to be the Shroud of Turin, but with a very strange and funny face on it, that said, “The sisters were disappointed to find that what they were holding was the shroud of Bob.”  We both got into hysterical laughter over that. 

I see Source as a pure balance of male/female, Yin/Yang, the negative/positive energy that is true for EVERY-thing.  So please read all other names into it because IT is all one.  And IT isn’t an old man with a beard as some religions create as a picture for us when we are small children, a picture that seems to follow us into adulthood, limiting our ability to see very far into the vastness of it all.  That is one reason I choose not to use the word God all the time, as that is the picture it brings up in my mind, sad to say, and it is way too limiting.  It is also too patriarchal.  IT is the manifesting energy source of all love, truth, peace, light, well being, joy, forgiveness and salvation.  Call IT what you want, what you feel comfortable with, but to me, “Source” encompasses all of the above and does not lean toward any one religion. 

In writing with the Archangel energy, they mostly refer to Source as “the One.”  I would have used this as I’ve become so familiar with it, but it doesn’t always flow as easily while writing.  They also refer to Source as God, as that is also very familiar to me, and many others.  So from them, expect a number of references, but it is all the same meaning.

This book is predominantly based on messages that were channeled from Archangels.  Yes, there are angels.  I’ve seen them; I’ve felt them.  They come from pure love, light, guidance and are here for all.  Another message this book covers is that we all are divine; all hold the Light of the One.  There are so many now who hold a gift of power and light that are afraid to step forward and offer it to the world.  Some are winged, some work with elementals, some are from other planets.  Some are all of the above.  I’ve remembered that I have wings, with a residue of memories from elementals and star people, and I’ve seen the power of my wings in action.  This book, however, is from the energy I know best, I remember best, and where my true energy was created and is based, and that is the realm of Archangels.  And actually angels do not really have wings, but an extension of energy, a field, that can be wrapped around a person or situation to bring comfort as though it was a pair of wings.  I believe that in our ideas of them being of a higher realm, able to be anywhere all at once; the idea of movement, flight and comforting aide, has given us the idea of wings.  It’s a lovely thought and image, really.

Archangels have been written about for centuries.  They are found in Biblical writings in the Old and the New Testaments.  There are drawings of them by the most famous of artists.  They are spoken of in every ethnic culture worldwide.  And yet at this point in our lives, in this 21^st century, they seem to have resurfaced and become more pronounced.  There are many books written about them, more people channeling them, as though their message is becoming more urgent in this time of planetary and human evolution.  They, in truth, speak to us all, but there are some of us that are gently nudged to share what they get from this guidance, other than just knowing we are all protected and loved by guardian angels.

If this sounds the least bit intriguing to you, if you want to see if you have what it takes to come out of the closet and stand in your truth, if it encourages you to use your special gift of light and help the evolution of humankind and this planet, read on.  And thank you from all involved in the writing of this book that you, dear reader, have come to this place in your own walk.

Let me just add a note here.  We are all evolving, coming more into the Light and gaining the ability to allow more Light to fill us.  Each day I learn something new about this evolution, mostly of myself.  I have been guided more and more toward this ascension, am given more knowledge and understanding of what it is about.  This book was written in the now of my knowing.  I know it will evolve even further, as growing and learning never ends.  What I am trying to say is, what is here is what I’ve learned to this point.  As soon as this book is done, what I learn will continue.  What you are seeing is a snapshot in time for this consciousness.

 Introduction

What Is An Archangel?

Volumes have been devoted to the study of Archangels.  Some of the finest and most famous paintings in the world have Archangels as their subjects or prominently shown.  Much of the research I’ve done has brought me to one conclusion – no one really seems to know the real truth, as there is much conflict over which Archangel plays which role, has which talent or special gift, the spelling of the names (as each language has their own and there can be different spellings within one language), what they are, who has fallen, who is still friends with Lucifer, or Azrael for that matter, who is even talking with whom, and the list goes on.  My head fairly spun with it all. 

I had asked Azrael about this some time ago after reading things that seemed very contradictory, and this is what I was told:  “You are concerned about Haniel/Gabriel regarding the moon – which is it?  You and some others believe it is Haniel, but then others say Gabriel.  Some say Michael rules the Sun, others say Mercury.  Some have me with Mars, but I am really more aligned with Neptune and Pluto, as we also are in this human form.  You see Chamuel as female, but Chamuel is the male, or positive aspect of that soul.  What you see in your mind’s eye is the negative or yin aspect, Seraphina.  All this is confusing and will never be sorted out to where all agree because we are energy, not nameable beings, really.  And we, as you know, are androgynous in that energy.  Yes, there are the negative/positive aspects to us, as all energy has negative and positive.  But this is where the need to name things in a three dimensional world creates much confusion and lack of continuity.  None of it matters, really.  If you want healing, call upon Raphael, or call upon Source to send you a healing energy and the energy that you might think of as Raphael shows up.  It doesn’t matter what you call that energy.”

I also realized that in most of the writings that have been done, they were written from a very dualistic viewpoint – good/evil, male/female, fear/love, and not from a place of oneness and neutrality, which is what their energy is truly about.  In the end, I decided that what I got was exactly what I needed to put in this book, from them through me, and all those other volumes are what other people got, or wrote after doing research from a number of places.  And to answer the above question, what is an Archangel, this is what I received.

The term Archangel in any language is a label given to a higher vibrational energy that was specifically created to serve Divine Consciousness.  They can be everywhere and anywhere at one time, as there is no such thing as time or place in the higher dimensions.  They all can do and be just about anything we need them to be, but they do have special talents or gifts within their individual energy field, also their own personality.  They all have Twin Flames, as that is part of the fabric of each soul, which is explained further on in the book.  So if you see or feel a feminine quality in an Archangel such as Haniel, who many feel as a feminine energy, you are feeling or seeing the yin side of the unified aspect of the whole energy being.  It truly depends on what the need is.

The personality of a specific energy can change with whomever they are working with or channel through as well.  This is how Azrael tells it: “Our energy is to the individual, and who can “hear” that particular energy source in what they channel, is what they were meant to understand.  Our messages are according to who receives and who will benefit from that receiver.  As you know Metatron can be very scientific and mathematical.  But those who channel and are not that left-brained, will receive messages that come through differently, though there is still a definite meaningful message and it is still the energy of Metatron. Like anything else, it is how the receiver perceives the energy and hears it.  It all adds up to the truth, however.  It is just stated differently for the variety of people who will receive it.”  Perhaps that is why there are as many stories as there are authors about this wonderful energy.  I no longer see this as discrepancies, so much as a fullness of being of each energy, and the capabilities and qualities therein.  

You might find that many of their words tend to be redundant, though each has their own “take” on it, but the message is simple, so it gets repeated in a number of ways.  Love.  Giving and Receiving.  Oneness.  Forgiveness.  Trust.  Surrender.  There are only so many ways to get the same message across.  And some of it might sound simplistic.  But love is a choice, and it is simple.  Sometimes the simplest messages need to be pounded into us, just as your parents pounded the same things into you – some things good, others maybe making your self-worth diminish.  But in what the Archangels bring, a lesson worth learning needs to be repeated.  And, of course, the other key in all this is gratitude.  Always, always, always be in gratitude in all ways.

Another truth about Archangels is that they do not subscribe to any one dogma; they are spiritual and not religious.  They also have some interesting opinions and thoughts about religion.  What you read here might sound blasphemous in some ways if you are deeply rooted into an organized religion.  Or their words might open your heart and mind to allow what each religion might bring to those people involved in it.  But do know that not any one religion has a claim to this higher realm energy, as they see all people as one and all holding the Divine within them.  Love of God, and therefore the love of all, is their truth, not any religious doctrine.

The words here are mostly gentle, easy for most to grasp.  They aren’t scientific; they aren’t about quantum physics, though that is mentioned more than once.  It isn’t textbook.  It is a lesson on opening your self to love – self, others, and seeing all as one.  It is a simple truth, brought in a gentle way without bells and whistles or deep formulas on how to attain enlightenment.  Our souls already know all of this.  It is our minds that need reminding, and thoughts to help us overcome the ego that lives within us all.  So if it seems redundant and simplistic, this is why.  These words need to reach many, and many cannot wrap their minds around science and quantum physics.  Many just need to know they are loved and can love in return and how that will affect their lives.  And that is why these words are as they are – to reach the masses, as we need the masses to turn the collective consciousness around and create a new Earth and way of being with all thereon – through love and not fear, through sharing and not greed, through peace and not war.  If you are so inclined toward this kind of life and world, read on, for they are anxious to speak to you.

The next post will begin with the message from Ariel.
