Changing the World a Little at a Time

The Archangels Invite Us to be Architects of Change

This has been a remarkable week for me.  I’ve been in La Jolla, California for Lee Harris’s Soul Magic spiritual retreat, and what a week it’s been!  I don’t usually splurge on vacations.  The last big one I took was twelve years ago after my husband died when I signed up for an Alaskan cruise to give me a chance to replan my life. 

If you follow me, you may remember that I recently moved to a new home, and the last eight or so months have been brutally demanding between sorting through everything, having an estate sale, timing the selling of the old house and the buying and moving into the new house, packing and unpacking … I’m exhausted! 

The Archangels told me when it all started that although the new house would be a big change, it was more symbolic of all the changes to come in the near future, beginning this year.  I remember when I first began channeling the Archangels several years ago, I thought I’d found my purpose, channeling and sharing the wonderful messages I received from them with others.  I thought I’d arrived and felt very clever to know what I was supposed to do with the rest of my life. 

What I’ve learned since then is, purposes evolve and change along with us.  There is no final destination!  I’ve since expanded in who I channel and the kinds of messages I share, where I share them, who I share them with, and how I share them. Things are indeed changing in my life, and the new house really was just the beginning!  My Guides have explained that I will have many new ideas and opportunities to consider and choose from, and the gauge I should use to make these choices should be the Big 4, that is, whatever brings me the most joy, hope, love, and peace.

It was Archangel Michael who nudged me to sign up for this retreat.  It wasn’t cheap between airfare, hotel, registration, etc., but I went ahead and signed up, and I’m so glad I did.  After the first day, I was buzzing with energy and overflowing with joy, and I thought, “I gotta start saving now, so I can go next year, too.”  I’ll write about it in more detail later, but what I found incredible from the moment I entered the venue was the high vibe energy surrounding me.  I’m very sensitive to energy now, and most of it lately is so full of fear and anger, it’s been challenging to rise above it. 

From the moment I arrived at the conference, I was surrounded by happy, smiling friendly people, and man, what a shock to the system, albeit a very positive one.  I found myself already dreading leaving this bubble of joy that filled me to overflowing, which prompted this article and the following question I asked the Archangels:

Question:  There is much to share and write about from this retreat, and I’d like to start with the idea of how I and others can create similar spaces like this one, places where people can feel safe and be around other like-minded, positive people and thrive.  How can we build these kinds of spaces or at least begin the process to create some sort of haven to escape the chaos that seems to be everywhere?

Answer:

This has been very good for you, and this is the perfect topic to write about right now.  Everyone living on Earth right now is here to help with The Shift, even those who appear to be resisting it and making things worse in the world.  Their actions will provoke great change that is very needed, but that would take much longer if not jump started by them.  The longer this transition takes, the more suffering that will occur, so many souls agreed to take on difficult roles, including those who agreed to suffer due to their actions, in order to move The Shift along as quickly as possible.  These things cause much chaos in the midst of these many changes and you are all feeling this now.

While these apparent trouble makers and agitators continue to cause problems, the rest of you have other roles to play.  Some of you are finding your way to the light and higher vibrational energy.  This can be a fulltime job and is often steeped in fear, anger, confusion, and resentment, but it will eventually lead to great personal and spiritual growth, and that is no small thing.  As you learn and evolve, you will often serve as examples of hope and change for others. 

Then, there are those who have already spiritually progressed further than many.  Not only do you want to help others in various ways, but you constantly work on yourselves to maintain your high vibration and rise above the chaos surrounding you.  You are the group we most wish to guide in this message.  You are here to initiate new beginnings and set better examples that lead to better things.  Some of you will do this on a large scale which is wonderful, but most of you will do this on a small scale with your smiles, kind words, and energy.  Most of you will never know the impact you continually have on others, but it will be enormous.

You are here to plant seeds that others nurture and grow.  Some of you will do nothing more than be, your energy touching and affecting others in life changing ways of which you may never be aware until this lifetime ends and you return to the soul realms for your life review.  The best way to go about this is to reject fear, anger, and the like and bond and connect to love.  Be kind to everyone.  When someone acts badly, reach for compassion rather than anger.  When someone looks at you with disdain, smile at them.  When someone wishes to argue, wish them well as you refuse and remove yourself.  This will make many uncomfortable, but as they turn away from you, know that you have planted a seed.  Perhaps it will at some point grow and perhaps it will never sprout, but the outcome should not concern you.  You have done your part.  Whatever happens next is out of your control and something that you should not concern you.  You have done your part. 

It is important to remain open to possibilities.  We know there are times it seems as though things will never get better, people will never do better.  Please try to trust that they will and know that you will be a contributor to things getting better, even if you do not intentionally do so.  All that is required is for you to bring more joy, hope, love, and peace into your life in whatever ways work for you.  You do not have to do this for others.  To do it for yourself will automatically have a positive impact on others.  It is enough.  The trick to doing this is the necessary release of anger, fear, resentment, judgment, and other such emotions as well as putting an end to trying to control others, so that you may embrace the Big 4 freely. 

We send you healing energies of Love and Light, and we are with you always.

Final Thoughts

The Archangels have said from the beginning that if we practice self-care and raise and maintain our own vibration, the energy will do the rest of the work for us, The Shift will progress, and the world will change for the better.  We don’t have to run for political office (thank God!), we don’t have to inform the world of anything, we don’t have to spread the word or take on more work.  We just have to open our hearts and minds, work on healing ourselves, focus on the Big 4, and be kind.  That’s doable and it beats the hell out of watching the loop on CNN or Fox News and feeding our fears.

Some of us will take on bigger, more spectacular roles, according to our life plans, but that is not required.  If we focus on improving ourselves, it will catch on and spread to others.  We can do that.  All we can easily see, all that is shown to us, is disheartening and in many cases scary.  The Angels want us to know that it’s not as bad as it looks.  There are many good things happening in the world that are not be covered by the media and that the people in power don’t want us to know about, because then we might have the audacity to rediscover hope and unite.  They don’t want that.  They’d rather us stay fearful and fighting each other, so they can justify their jobs and further their agendas while we focus on the chaos they create. 

When I leave this spiritual retreat and go home, I’ll miss the energy that results from a bunch of hopeful, kind people getting together, smiling at each other, and doing their best to make the world a better place, but maybe if I carry that energy and spirit onward, I can plant seeds at home that will grow into similar places and spaces someday.  In the meantime, I’m going to hold onto this feeling and continue to work on myself, bringing in more of the Big 4, and doing my best to pass that on to others. 

The intention for Friday Night Meditation this month is Acceptance.  You’re invited to join the Archangels and add loving energy they will disperse that we and others will learn to accept differences and find compassion for all people, that we will begin to understand that we all have more in common than we have differences, and we all want and are worthy of a better world.

Happy Friday, and have a wonderful weekend.
