"THE NEW AGE OF SELF-MASTERY"

Beloved masters, What does Spirit look like? Gaze into a mirror and
see the reflection of Spirit in your eyes. Gaze into the eyes of a
child and see Spirit looking back at you. Gaze at the sun, the moon,
the stars, a mountain, lake, tree, flower, a bird or an animal and
know that the Creator is radiating the Love/Light of Its Spiritual
Essence to you through ALL of Its Creations.

PLEASE ALLOW THIS THOUGHT TO SINK INTO YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS AND
CONSCIOUS MIND: YOU ARE IN THE MIDST OF A TRANSFORMATIONAL PROCESS
(METAMORPHOSIS) OF MONUMENTAL PROPORTIONS. Old truths are being
replaced with higher truths as you become spiritual adults. The way
you view yourselves, your world, solar system and universe is
rapidly changing as your consciousness expands and you gain access
to the intricacies of the cosmos. You are feeling the changes at
every level of your Beingness and, at times, it seems as though your
bodies are rebelling as they go into overload, or take in more
refined energy than can be easily accommodated. You must realize
that "more" is not necessarily better, and you should always ask
that you move through these times of great change with ease and
grace. As old boundaries, superstitions, dogma and limitations fall
away, you are feeling vulnerable and it seems that there no longer
are any set guidelines to follow. There is such a tremendous amount
of new information available, some conflicting and some validating
what you may have accepted as your "new truth". Please be aware that
your truths will constantly expand and change as you move up the
ladder of expanded awareness and enlightenment.

Time as you know it has speeded up so fast you can hardly keep up.
The hands on your clocks are moving so quickly, you are often
shocked that the day is gone and it seems as though only a few hours
have passed. The months and years are whizzing by also, and it seems
as though you are on a crash course with your destiny. You are
shifting in and out of the myriad energies of the multi-dimensions
which is one more reason why it is so critical that you stay
grounded and focused in the moment, so that you don't "lose
yourselves or your way." By that we mean that you are responsible
for the powerful, higher vibrational frequencies that you integrate,
for with this new energy comes the ability to co-create more and
more quickly anything you put your mind on and feed energy to. It is
more important than ever to remember the saying, "Be careful what
you ask for!"

Preoccupation with the past or future prevents you from experiencing
the NOW MOMENT which is the moment of your GOD POWER. Learn to
experience the freshness and joy of being fully in the moment. As
with all new habits, it will take a little practice; however, it
will soon become a "natural state of awareness". Some of the
challenges, shifts in consciousness and radical changes do not seem
to make sense. Why would you manifest an illness while on your way
to becoming a master? Why would you manifest a situation whereby you
would have a bizarre accident, lose your job, your income or a
beloved partner? Remember, your Higher Self sees that you are
confronted with the challenges and tests (that you agreed to), at
the appropriate time for your growth and better understanding. If
you do not understand a situation, rise above it and endeavor to
view it from a higher vantage point. Remember that it is not always
about you; you only think so because you tend to take everything so
personally.

Also remember that you are in the process of transmuting all that is
not based on integrity, self-empowerment and a unity consciousness
or the frequencies of unconditional love. Perfection is not a
requirement; in fact, it is unattainable except within the heart of
the Supreme Creator. All else is less than perfect in varying
degrees. It is about becoming the "real you" and moving onto the
middle path while existing in a world of duality and polarity.


You have opened a "Pandora's Box" that has been stored deep within
your psyche for thousands and thousands of years. It contains all
your core issues and beliefs about self-love, lack and limitations
about your worthiness of love, joy, peace, abundance and vibrant
health, as well as your feelings about aging and the continuity of
life. All these out-moded beliefs which do not serve your higher
good are roiling up [means stirring up like sediment or dregs] into
your consciousness so they can be released and re-qualified into a
higher frequency of Light substance.

You are becoming more intuitive and your telepathic skills are
increasing by leaps and bounds. You are connecting with the many
facets of your vaster Oversoul and your God Ray (I Am Presence) is
now taking an active role in your transformational process as it
filters to you the refined energies of new creation from the Creator
Source. You are affecting everything around you during this process
of refining your energy fields, for as you evolve inwardly and send
forth higher frequencies of Light, everything around you must also
change. You have been told over and over again that you first must
teach by example and this is true. What better way to get people's
attention than to become very successful at whatever you choose to
do, to have vibrant glowing health no matter what your age, to
display astounding and innovative creative abilities, and to be so
loving and generous that others are awed by your compassion and your
ability to see the best in everyone in every situation.

The initiation process - your transition into a spiritual/human
Being - is also accelerating exponentially as you analyze, resolve,
release and realign with your new integrated frequencies of Light,
and all of this must take place while you are living within the
framework or reality of the mass consciousness belief structure. The
process of ascension or enlightenment in ancient times involved
isolation away from other people and everything within the mundane
world. It involved years upon years of intense study, discipline and
very difficult trials and tests before an initiate could move to the
next level of the path. It involved tests so strenuous and dangerous
that many times you perished or were maimed for life. You were
placed in situations whereby you had to slow your breath and still
your life force so that you could remain alive for several days
without food, water and very little air to breathe. Those tests were
arranged so that all your weaknesses would come to the fore, and all
your deepest fears would rise to the surface and would be
exaggerated. If you had not learned to still your mind and your
bodily functions and, most importantly, to stay in the Still Point
of the Moment, you would either go mad or perish from extreme fright.

Those times are past. The ascension process is now geared to the
masses and not just the select few. You must pass all the tests of
initiation as you go about your everyday life, tests which are
brought before you in everyday situations. Each test you pass or
each lesson that you gain wisdom from removes a portion of the
remaining imbalanced frequency patterns within, and after a time you
become more proficient in "getting the big picture" and learning to
move through the distorted patterns more quickly. As your
proficiency increases, you are not moved so far off-center and you
do not dip into the deep levels of fear and despair of the past, but
are able to maintain a more balanced level of awareness. You stop
looking outside yourself for validation of self-worthiness. You know
within your heart/soul that you are perfect and exactly where you
should be at each and every moment in time. You also allow everyone
else to seek their own path, in their own time and in their own way.

The event called the HARMONIC CONCORDANCE marked the time when the
frequencies of Creator Light were greatly accelerated and, if you
were ready and willing, you were catapulted into a greater level of
higher vibrational patterns. Each level brings new gifts of
awareness, but also more responsibility. You are learning to take
personal responsibility for yourself and for all you create.

Several years ago, we explained that as you move upward on the path
of ascension, your spectrum of choice narrows as you move onto
the "narrow path". This means that you must always strive to make
the highest choices, and many things that seemed appropriate in the
past will no longer be tolerated. Your body will quickly let you
know when it wants you to eliminate various foods or habits of lower
frequencies, and as you become more attuned to the wisdom of your
body Elemental, it will apprise you of what you need to do for
maximum strength and health, and also what you must eliminate in
your life. This may vary from person to person; however, if you wish
to gain or maintain maximum health and vitality and be able to
integrate higher and higher levels of Divine Light, you had best
take heed.

New modalities for healing are emerging every day and humanity is
slowly becoming conscious of the fact that each person is
responsible for his/her own health and well-being. The medical
profession will slowly change into a "prevention mode" rather than
a "repair the damage" mode. We will stress once more that Light,
sound and color are the modalities of healing, balancing and
harmonizing the human vehicle, and the use of these gifts will
greatly accelerate the process of transformation.

As you move deeper and more fully into your spiritual adulthood, can
you not feel the connection between us intensifying as we shower
down upon you all the radiance of our Father/Mother God's love from
the highest realms of the universe? Yes, it is time for each of you
to acknowledge and listen to the Divine voice of the Creator within
that is waiting to answer your every question and supply you with
all the knowledge you need to move forward into the New Age and
evolution of humankind. It is time for you to determine which path
to enlightenment you will follow, what rings true for you within
your sacred heart. There is only one truth and that is the eternal
truth of the Creator, but it has been fragmented into many energies,
thought forms and levels of truth. It is time to follow the nudgings
of your Higher Self, as you claim the truth that resonates clearly
within, and then follow it unerringly.

Very soon, the time will come when channeling or telepathic skills
will be commonplace around the world as more and more blessed souls
clear the distortions which lead to a reconnection with their Divine
Self and the wisdom therein. You are being given every opportunity
to open or clear the pathway to your vaster self so that you may
receive clear, concise information critical to your growth and
transformation process. But you must begin by listening to the small
nudgings you receive during the day or night and after validating
them in your heart/soul center, follow the guidance that feels
appropriate (which should always be empowering, expanding and
loving).

The Light or Divine Cosmic Life Force from the heart center of the
Supreme Creator is filtering into the places where the deepest,
darkest shadows dwell, both in the world and within each of you.
This creates a process of distortion, often confusion, fear and
discomfort. There is an ebb and flow of energies as the Light
gradually overcomes the shadows and they eventually melt away. Many
of you are having experiences where you feel you are being bombarded
by some external source. Know that it is your own inner demons you
are facing, giving you an opportunity to, once and for all, release
all the negative energy patterns that you have been carrying since
the beginning of your first physical embodiment.

It is of major importance that you discipline your mind and
thoughts. What do you wish to carry forward with you into the New
Age of en-LIGHTEN-ment? Your focus should be of both an internal
nature and an external nature, for as you transform and raise the
frequencies within, your outer world will radically change also.

You have suffered enough poverty and deprivation, beloveds. Are you
ready to reach out and claim the treasure chest with your name on it
that has been held in trust for you? It has been waiting for you to
awaken and to be bold enough to demand your birthright. You are the
prodigal sons and daughters, under the protection of our
Father/Mother God, who are returning to the realms of all
possibilities. We fill you to overflowing with blessings beyond
measure.

I AM Archangel Michael.
