This is the first of the Archangel messages, Ariel's, as I am doing them in alphabetical order to make it easier to search through them if you wish, once more are posted.  I might, at some point, weave my own story into this to explain how I got to be an envoy for this group, but for now, I feel the messages themselves are much more important.  Each one begins with a bit of prose that I wrote for how their image is in my mind.  Being pure energy, they do not have a form or gender, for they are a balance of yin and yang energy, but sometimes putting that energy into a form makes it easier to "see" them in the mind's eye.  I hope you enjoy these posts, as the messages are pure and speak so much truth.  They are as I channeled them.  Ariel’s is rather long, but the words are so important.  I hope you see it through to the end.

An excerpt from “In Their Own Words: Messages from the Higher Realm And The Unexpected Journey Of Their Envoy.

ARIEL

Ariel, Archangel of courage,

  Shield and sword raised,

Flight of wings traversing the abyss,

She travels with us showing us our own.

She is the lion,

  She is the leader,

She shows us we can jump from the cliff,

And can fly.

The color of rose quartz,

  She heals past pain to bring

The Divine back to our Being,

That we may know Who we are.

Sweetness and strength in one,

  The fulfillment of balance within us,

She soars as an Eagle,

Fights as the Lion for truth.

Guardian of the Earth,

   She teaches the walk of balance,

Respect for all relations, for all in the Light, which is the One,

Manifest in all form.

She teaches abundance is there for all

   If we but respect, share, and caretake with kindness, this place, our Mother.

But she can wield her sword

To restore the balance necessary to maintain the natural stasis of this earth.

Beautiful in her dignity,

  Gracious in her being,

Follow her boldly into the void

To find the true knowing of your connection with the Divine.

Ariel’s Words

I have many tasks.  I help you to heal past pain so that you might move on.  I am here to show you that you are surrounded by abundance and prosperity.  I am here to show you how you can reclaim the prosperity of the earth after so much abuse.  I am here to give you the courage you need to walk your talk, to be all your soul aspires to be in your walk.  I am the Archangel of courage – knowing that when you take a new step you won’t fall, or if you jump off a cliff, you will have wings to soar with the eagles.  And it takes courage to walk this path.  It is so much easier to blend in with all that goes on around you and be unseen.  The different one, the one whose light shines, stands out.  It takes courage to stand out and to stand up for what you believe in.  I am here to help you do just that.  Allow me to teach you to fly. 

I will be there standing beside you when people gawk at you for your differences.  I will never leave you alone to face the angry mob.  And they will bear witness to you, and somewhere inside, they will envy you for your courage.  It might help others to pull away from the mob and stand beside you, or at least come toward you a little closer.  They will want to bask in the light you shine.  Some will recognize it, while others may not.  It is the light of glory, the light of truth, the light of the Divine.  Let it shine and I’ll add mine to yours and together we can change the world.  Be brave, little ones, your light makes you mighty and strong and not so little anymore.  You are only little when you stand with the throng, your voice not heard.  It is drowned out by the anger and frustration of illusion.  You, who have eyes to see and ears to hear truth – don’t let your voice go unheard.  Shout it from the mountaintops.  We can raise our own ruckus, but it will be a song of truth and praise to the Almighty and to who and what you all truly are in the Oneness of the All That Is.  Let us go together and sing this song.  I have a mighty shield and will protect you, so have no fear of standing out from the crowd.  For that is where you will find me, also.

I also want to tell you that there is no such thing as scarcity.  It is a conditioned response from past generations of ill thinking.  You can truly have whatever you need if you are surrendered to God, to the Infinite Source.  You are his child and he will never let you suffer.  But you must not feel worry or doubt over this.  I know it is hard when you worry over bills to pay, money for food.  But money is just another energy that you can bring forth.  You’ve heard the old axiom, God Will Provide.  He will.  But you must believe, surrender and trust.  You must bring yourself into that vibration of having and knowing it is there for you.  So many masters and teachers tell you that.  They are correct.  You never have to need for anything.  Did Jesus and the Disciples ever worry as they traveled?  The Master even told them not to bring anything, including money.  He knew.  And they were provided for.  It is the same for you as it was for them.  God’s gifts do not stop with certain people – they are for everyone. 

I know surrender is difficult.  Not only is it scary, but giving up control is hard for humans, as they like to feel they are in control of everything.  Need for control is the thing that gets countries into war.  Give control over to the One who can provide, the One who is the only truth.  There is nothing other than God, only what you have created in your mind.  Give it up and allow your thoughts to be only those of the Divine within you.  Life will change for you.  Illness will disappear; want will disappear, for you will want for nothing.  God’s will is peace, love, and joy.  You could have that in your life if you but surrender the control of your mind, which is mostly full of illusion and misdirected thought anyway, to the power that can afford you joy and love and prosperity in your life.  Such a deal!

Another thing I wish to discuss is letting go of the past.  It serves you not.  You chose to be born to the family you were born to for the reasons of your soul’s needs.  As you forgot who and what you truly are, you became conditioned to the beliefs and actions of that family.  But you always have a choice in your own actions, reactions and thoughts.  No one can ever take your consciousness away from you and you can fill it with whatever you wish.  But whatever purposes you wanted to serve in choosing them, that was given unto you.  Do not dwell on whatever problems or issues might have arisen from the knowing of that family, as you chose them to perhaps overcome a certain issue, gain a certain strength.  It is your choice to do so.  And there is no blame; there is no sin, other than what you ascribe to it.  You – barring nothing, created all things in your life.  Somehow you asked for conditions that were brought to you; first to learn, then to learn to rise above.  Many people go through life blaming others for all their problems.  They only have their own mind to blame.  It may sound harsh, but that is why there is really no such thing as sin, which is truly only misguided thinking.  Therefore, there is no blame.  You are totally responsible for yourself.  So, what will you do with this knowledge?  Continue to blame to be let off the hook for all things going wrong in your life?  You must see other’s lives where things are going wrong, but then somehow turn around for them.  Why do you think that is so?  It is because they choose to have things turn around for them.  The choice is also there for you.  Let go of these misguided thoughts.  Conditioning is hard to overcome, but you have the Divine power within you to do so.  For that power is the only real truth.  Whatever thoughts you have about your past are your own and not real, for only God’s thought is truth. 

People can heal from all things, including illness, by allowing the God within them to take their thoughts.  This is true salvation.  This is aligning with truth.  This is putting your vibration along the lines of the Divine.  This is where all thought needs to be.  Dwelling on the past holds you in the past.  If you wish to move forward change your mind, change your thinking.  Stop allowing grudges or blame to interfere with your forward movement into a better way of being for yourself and all – for you are a part of that all – and what you think affects the whole.  I can give you the courage you need to break down conditioning, heal any wounds from the past, and move forward, forgiving and allowing the past to fall behind you in order to walk into your own power.  It is up to you to desire that change – to either dwell upon past pain and continue to lick your wounds, or to heal them and spread your wings and fly to a greater place of being in your life and in alignment with the gifts the Universe holds for you.

You see entire nations all in agreement over a misguided thought, because that thought becomes a conditioned response in thinking of a majority, and people align with that.  If the majority of people in a nation changed their minds, the thinking would shift in that new direction.  It is the law.  What people think and focus upon, they bring to them.  You see some people standing outside of the error of thinking and are happy, despite what is going on around them.  This is because their vibration isn’t matching the collective thinking.  They’ve put themselves in the mindset of God, so aren’t affected.  Wouldn’t you like to be there instead of where you may be standing?  Wouldn’t you like to be in control of your destiny?  You are, all the time.  Most people want peace, love and joy in their lives, which is exactly what God wants for his children.  So if you align yourself with the energy of God within you, these are yours.  Did not the Master say that all these things would be yours, as God wishes them for his children?  You are all his children.  You are all Sons of God.

It is this collective thinking that is causing the shift toward the evolution of humankind.  More and more people, along with knowing souls now taking form that you call Indigo and Crystal children, are moving things toward a more spiritual vibration.  As more people reach for truth, more energy is being directed that way.   More people are becoming aware of the power they hold within themselves from whatever they might call God.  It doesn’t matter what name is given this higher power of energy, as it is all one and the same thing.  But so many are now studying, wanting to reach for this higher purpose, that it is shifting mankind in that direction.  However, there are still many, and it’s a close call as to who is in the majority, that still hold misdirected thought.  So it is important for all of you to begin to reach for that power within you, align with the vibration of peace, love, compassion, and light.  It is important to forgive, which is recognizing blamelessness, to bring about the salvation of the world.

I can heal and I can destroy.  I am the floods of nature and the earthquakes and the volcanoes.  I am the Archangel of the environment, which some people are so quick to destroy in their own way.  I am not destroying in this sense so much as I am helping the earth to renew herself.  During a birth process, you must sometimes break down the old to re-create, like a painter at his easel will change a color, or even an entire painting on the same canvass.  Do you think me cruel?  I am merely keeping up with the vibration of the All That Is in its expansion.  You are the cruel ones, taking advantage of the gifts put forth for you.  You have lived and could again live as one with this planet, but you find new ways all the time to drain her goodness.  She is what sustains you.  Of yourself you can do nothing.  She is the air you breath, but you pollute it.  She is the water you drink, but you pollute it.  She is the earth from that which grows to sustain you is formed, but you choose to pollute it.  You think you eradicate “bugs” that kill your crops, when in actuality all you are doing is creating bigger and better bugs.  You do not see this, no matter how many signs we show you.  Everything for you is immediate.  An immediate fix.  Instead of learning how to live “at one” with, you want it all for yourself.  You have created super-viruses in your very act of trying to eliminate.  That is why the earth is going through upheaval.  She is the mother that God gave you to sustain all your needs.  But instead of working with her, you destroy her.  Then things must be done to compensate.  You are killing your fish in your poisonings and greed.  You don’t seem to realize there is enough for all, if you just live in balance, but you don’t.  There are small pockets of people who remember this balance, but so many do not.  Then when some “horrific” event takes place, you blame God.  You never look in the mirror. 

But I offer hope.  A new earth is being born, and there are many on this earth now and being born that are changing the tide of destruction and recognizing the beauty of what your earth is and healing it, and through that healing, healing themselves.  This earth could be the Eden it once was if you but remember and stop holding dominion over all things.  You could help to re-create the beauty, the bounty, by living in balance.  You drive animals to extinction through your fear or your poisons.  So, an earth out of balance must be put back into balance.  That is part of my job.

Yes, I scold many of you, for you act like little children with a big ego - that’s mine, you can’t have it!  Don’t you see that many of you are like that small child refusing to share with anything outside yourself instead of keeping things in balance?  No, you want it all to yourself.  The earth wasn’t made to be used or treated that way.  Many innocents sacrifice themselves to teach this lesson, but so many still refuse to see.  It will come back into balance, but I don’t know what it will cost to do such.  It is up to you.    And I do love you, even if you behave like spoiled children at times.  I still see hope and still love you, for my energy is one of the pure love of the All That Is, and this web of life was created out of love.  That is the Source we all come from.  Please remember this.  It isn’t a matter of who has the most.  It’s a matter of realizing there is enough for all and sharing in the bounty.  This is true prosperity; not one having more than another.  You are all connected and what you do to one, you do to yourself.  Remember this.  You can see it happening.  What will you do when there are no more bees to pollinate your food?  What will you do when the bats are gone and the other insects increase due to lack of balance?  What will you do when your water becomes so polluted with chemicals that you can’t drink it?  What will it take for you to see the lesson here?

Ask me and I will guide you.  I will help mend and repair all past ills with this world. 

I am called by many names, all of them Gods and Goddesses of this earth.  I can bring healing and prosperity once again.  Call on me.

I am saying things here that many of the others want to say, and might repeat, but it is because of the importance of this message that we all wish to get it across to you.  Others will say it in the way that they are here to help you, from their own energy.  But it all comes down to what Jesus said, what Buddha said, and all other ascended masters.  Love one another; as in doing that, you love yourself.  It is the Golden Rule of all cultures and races. You are all connected.  What you do to one you do to yourself.   That is why you should love your neighbor.  See the God in all and you will find God within yourself.  Love all and love will come back to you.  Give out what you want back in return, for what you give to another, you give to yourself.

Know that I am with you always.  I can give you courage and strength.  I can help you heal any pain from the past.  I can help you see your abundance and increase it through your thinking.  Ask for my help and I will be right there with you, aiding you.  Thank you and much, much love to you.
