Designer Paths to Spirituality

The Archangels Tell Us to Do Our Own Thing

More and more people are “awakening”.  Frankly, I find the term a bit pretentious, but whatever floats your boat!  If you want to get more specific, you can look at it as our energy is adjusting and consciousness is rising to meet the Earth’s new higher vibration, and this is triggering many changes we’re all trying to navigate.  Energy is attracted to like energy, and when there’s a wide gap in vibration, it doesn’t feel comfortable.  That’s not to say it’s painful, but if energy levels vary too much, as in the case of witnessing events that are based in low vibrational concepts and emotions, or being around people who are steeped and focused on them, people who are experiencing life at a higher vibrational level are not going to feel comfortable, and neither are those at a lower level when they’re around higher vibe people. 

There are people who talk about the good old days and want to return to them, because at that time, their energy and the energy surrounding them was similar.  They automatically reach for fear, which is what they’re used to from when the Earth was in the third dimension, because they don’t understand what’s going on, and they’re not open to change.  They look for scapegoats and reasons why they no longer feel the same.  They blame others and isolate themselves.  They feel threatened and therefore seek protection from those who promise it and manipulate them.

On the other end of the spectrum are those who experience a rise in consciousness, but they also are unsure what it means or what to do with it.  Some experience psychic gifts for the first time, maybe finding a way to communicate between dimensions, and either panic or misinterpret the things they are experiencing. 

Lately, I’ve come across several relatively new writers on various platforms who are all about the fear factor and issuing warnings and ultimatums based on very little information.  Others try to tell people what they absolutely can or cannot do and suggest scary consequences if they deviate from the script they’ve developed based on their own experiences.  My first response is usually something along the lines of, “What a load of crap!”  On second thought, however, I realize I need to exercise more patience and compassion.  Many of them have good intentions, and they want to help other people, but they don’t yet realize that different things resonate with different people, and there is never just one right way to do things, especially where spirituality is concerned.

I asked the Archangels to weigh in on this idea and to guide us on wading through all these new offerings of information and to help us become more discerning in terms of what should be taken lightly and on what we should focus.  Their response follows.

Question:  My friends, I want to write about discernment regarding scary stuff attached to spirituality, like threats if you do or don’t act on something, missing a chance that won’t come again, needing protection from evil forces during The Shift, choosing the “right” way to move forward, etc.  Is there any basis for these things?  Are there any dangers lurking?  Do we need to take any safeguards?  Please advise.

Answer:

There are those who seek a spiritual path who sometimes get sidetracked, confused, or overwhelmed and misinterpret information or, more likely, only have part of the information they need in order to be helpful when sharing it with others.  As more people undergo a rise in consciousness, they often find the previous beliefs they had no longer resonate, and they seek to exchange them for another “system” of sorts.  Perhaps they assume there must be rules, guidelines, and a right and wrong way of doing things, because this is often what they know. 

Many people crave structure and find it comforting to have lists, books, instructions, etc. to refer to as they move forward.  This is often true in religion, jobs, learning a new skill, solving a problem, etc., and many people want to have a means of checking in, so they know they are doing it “right.”  They want someone to tell them what to do, how and when to do it, and why it is important.  It is far less common to find someone who wants to figure it out on their own, find their own way of doing things, and have the autonomy to go their own way, and this is no accident, as people in power usually want people to rely on them and follow directions.

Getting back to your question on spirituality, there are many who are new to it, and they are trying to make sense of new information by fitting it into past constructs, and they are also very excited and impatient to pass on their new found ideas and knowledge to others.  Some do this by formulating rules, because rules are all they have ever known.  True freedom, even in what you consider the “free world” is a rarity, and many people do not know how to think for themselves without receiving any direction from others. 

Usually, their intentions are good, but their methods can sometimes be misguided.  They review their own experiences, then they try to fit everyone else into the same mold that fits them.  This is often the problem with so many religions, also.  They think because it works well for some, specifically them, it is the only right way to proceed, and this is never true.

People are too different for all of them to succeed, benefit, or be fulfilled using a singular method of thought or action.  You all incarnated with certain gifts, with selected Guides and a life plan in place.  These aspects should lead to finding avenues that work well for you, if you will allow for and trust your intuition and the guidance you receive. Your soul and your Guides know what suits you best, and they can guide you in that direction, but if you try to mold yourself after someone else, this rarely works.

There are far more “newbies” to spirituality now than there are those who are more seasoned, who have had more time to learn and understand the spiritual path better.  It is usually the “newbies” who, in their enthusiasm and excitement and with good intentions, try to tell others what they can and cannot, should and should not, and must and must not do.  They try to fit everyone else into their own mold, not yet realizing that what has worked well for them will not necessarily work for others, whether it pertains to enlightenment, connection with Guides, activation of psychic gifts, or even things as essential as finding more joy, hope, love, and peace. 

More importantly, they have yet to realize that nobody, regardless of what level or experiences they have had spiritually, has the entire big picture and knows everything there is to know.  Souls have universal knowledge, but humans do not.  Even those who channel us and other high Guides have only part of the information, the part they can best relate to and use to help themselves and sometimes, others.  No one has all of the answers or nearly enough information to successfully guide all other people through this life.  Many are able to assist others, but no one has the answers needed to help everyone.  Different people need different things, practices, and information in order to grow.

They are like many young souls people might encounter when they begin to channel or cross dimensions.  They mean no harm, and many wish to be helpful, but they are not yet knowledgeable or experienced enough to guide others in a positive and helpful way.  While we appreciate their desire to help, we would ask that they focus on their own growth and learn more before they attempt to guide others.

Let us offer you some loose guidelines to consider as you seek a more spiritual path forward.

-       Everyone has their own “designer” path to follow that was planned exclusively for them by their soul, as well as their very own assigned Guides to help them find it.  There is nothing wrong with trying new things and methods offered by others that are meant to “awaken” you, but there is no guarantee that they are right for you or that they will help in any way.  If they do not, find something else and know there is nothing wrong with you.  You are not lacking in value, intelligence, favor, or anything else.  The problem is not with you, but in you trying to be someone or something that you are not.

-       There is no right or wrong way to proceed spiritually, just as there is not just one right way of doing things.  Different people relate to different things.  Experiment a lot.  Explore always.  Ask questions and reevaluate often.  Find what works and makes sense to you.  Our channel was once told to allow the journey to become the plan, and we support that advice.  You do not necessarily need a map.  Just get in the car and drive!  This may seem uncomfortable at first, but guidance will follow.  You all carry a divine, connected, spark of loving light within you.  That spark will guide you if you learn to let it.  You don’t need someone else to tell you what to do.

-       Remember always that you are loved unconditionally.  There is nothing you can ever do to change that.  Pay no attention to anyone who threatens you with ultimatums, who tells you to do something or suffer severe consequences.  The Universe does not work that way.  Everyone is welcome, and no one is ever excluded or cast out.  You are not on anyone’s timeline but your own, and you will always have the opportunity to move forward at your own pace, whenever you choose.  The warnings that you must comply with something or the door will be shut are inaccurate.  If you knock, a door will always open.  In fact, there is no need to knock, as there are no locks in place except the locks you put in place yourself.

-       The Shift of the Earth is energetic in nature.  When energy levels change, there can be clashes in vibration, which can feel uncomfortable.  Most are experiencing these clashes in the form of past trauma rising so it can be healed, outgrowing old ideas and procedures you now recognize as outdated, incorrect, or even harmful, and an overall stronger feeling of connection with other people and the Universe.  While these things can feel uncomfortable and be challenging, they are not harmful, and you should not be afraid of them.  They are all signs that you are evolving.  The only danger to you comes from other people, rather than from ethereal sources, who struggle and resist these changes and react in threatening ways.  It is people who cause problems, not the Universe.

-       You do not have to do anything in order to grow spiritually or to survive The Shift.  There are no requirements, judgments, punishments, or prerequisites for doing something or not doing anything.  We strongly advise that you focus on yourself, internally speaking.  Bring in more joy, hope, love, and peace, so you will be better able to navigate the chaos surrounding you as people and the Earth shift.  There is no avoiding the stress of change, but you can counterbalance it and create your own internal haven.

-       There is nothing to fear from whatever God you relate to, the Universe, us and other high Guides, beings from other worlds, etc.  There is no devil, no demons, or other forces lying in wait to pounce or possess you.  The Shift is natural and divine.  Everyone is qualified to awaken, but not everyone is ready.  No one will be excluded unless they choose to exclude themselves.  Everyone is accepted and loved unconditionally.

-       If you seek a more spiritual path, find one that feel right to you.  You do not have to follow someone else’s plan or guidance.  You can create your own way of doing things.  Invite your soul and Guides to help you along the way.  Do not try to be someone else or do things someone else’s way.  Their way may work for them, but it may not work for you.  That does not mean either of you is right or wrong.  You are simply different.

-       If you come across a body of work or information that inspires fear, anger, etc., avoid it and whoever is promoting it.  Fear and anger do not belong on the spiritual path.  While spiritual growth often comes with healing, which can be challenging and uncomfortable, it should eventually lead to new found peace.  Pain for the sake of pain is neither necessary nor helpful.  Any personal growth or healing pains should be temporary and eventually be overcome and replaced with joy, hope, love, and peace.  That is a sign that you are on the right spiritual path for you.

The spiritual path can be challenging, and frustrating at times, as you reevaluate your life and beliefs, learn new things, and adjust to new knowledge, which often leads to the discarding of old ways of doing things and replacing them with things that feel better and more true.  You may feel lonely at times, and depending on the people in your life, changes may cause issues in relationships.  You are in charge.  Follow your heart, and you will find your direction.  If you ask for our help, we will give it to you. 

Final Thoughts

I remember when I first started sharing messages from the Archangels.  I felt excited, and I wanted to share the peace, comfort, and hope they gave me.  None of the messages I’ve been given are negative, threatening, or abusive.  They don’t tell people what they have to do, although many contain helpful suggestions to improve your life, and they never attack anyone.  Still, my message has always been to take what resonates and leave the rest.  The Angels teach me in such a way that I understand, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to understand things in the same way that I do or that you’re interested.

I’ve learned many things from the Angels, and part of that is knowing that I don’t know even close to everything.  I used to ask them which people were legit and which were not as I sought to learn more about things like The Shift, psychic gifts, etc., and they always told me to follow me heart and stick to the things that resonated.  If someone’s work doesn’t resonate with me, I don’t assume that they’re wrong and I’m right.  Sometimes I disagree or decide to dismiss something because it doesn’t make sense to me, but I don’t assume I’m the expert, and they don’t know what they’re talking about.  Maybe we just have different pieces of the puzzle, maybe what they say may make more sense in the future, and maybe not.  I try to keep an open mind.  Lots of people ask me what I think of things others write about, and I may tell them whether or not it resonates with me, but I never call anyone a liar.  I may refute what they say based on the information I have been given by the Angels, but I’m never disrespectful or accusatory to anyone.

I think the key thing to keep in mind is that none of us will ever know and understand everything.  We’re neither meant to, nor do we have the capacity as humans to grasp it all.  There are things that are true for some people and not true for others.  That’s for each individual to sort out and decide.

I do suggest practicing discernment when coming across new concepts.  If something scares you, stay away from it.  If something doesn’t resonate, find something else that does.  We don’t have to be unkind or judgmental of others or accuse them of idiocy or dishonestly.  Sometimes, others’ messages are just not for us.  I would add that spirituality and The Shift are positive, good things, as are growth and evolution.  We all need to make our own way and find paths that are helpful and that resonate.  Don’t worry about all the rest.

Some final comments meant respectfully in order to address some of the concerns others have asked me about:

To the lady who warns that the more spiritual you become, the more likely you’ll become a target for demons, my understanding is that there are no demons.  For those of you who are worried or scared, just ask the Archangels for there protection.  As a matter of fact, we all have guardians who work diligently to keep us safe all the time, mostly from circumstances and other people.  There are no evil entities waiting in the shadows.

To those who warn people about channeling, that Satan and his minions lie in wait to trick and deceive you, again, according to the Angels, the devil and demons are not real.  They are human constructs invented to scare people and keep them in line.  I understand there are souls who are not knowledgeable or even pleasant to encounter, and there are beings of all levels in energetic vibration, but they are not evil or malicious, and they have no power over anyone.  In all of the years I’ve channeled, I’ve never had a bad experience.  I know I’m under the protection of the Archangels, and you can ask for the same.

To the lady who is angry that others can’t see the high Guides she can see in the clouds, consider that, while you may have that gift, others may not.  That doesn’t mean they’re blind or “unawakened.”  That doesn’t mean that you’re right, and they’re wrong or vice-versa.  We’re all just different, and we all have different gifts.

To the lady who has suggested that channels are either liars or mentally ill, consider the possibility that there’s simply a lack of understanding on your part.  Just because you don’t understand what we do, doesn’t mean it’s not real or that those who have this gift are dishonest or suffer from mental illness.  I don’t understand a lot of the messages or gifts that people share, including yours, but you can’t disprove channeling any more than I can prove it.  I feel no need to prove it, and I don’t understand why it bothers you so much.  Take what resonates and leave the rest.  You do you, and I’ll do me. 

To those of you who are afraid to question your religious beliefs, because you’re afraid of offending God, as I once was, I encourage you to follow your heart, and I’ll repeat what the Angels have always said.  You are loved unconditionally, and there is nothing you can possibly do that will change that.  Although leaving religion brought me much closer to my higher power, that choice may or may not be right for you.  Figure out what’s best for you, and act accordingly and fearlessly.

To the guy who said you cannot find God or enlightenment without first killing your ego, I think all humans have an ego, whether they want one or not.  It can be healthy or unhealthy, and it serves a purpose, but you can’t get rid of it. It’s part of being human.  Spirituality and enlightenment doesn’t mean you have to get rid of your human aspects, it means embracing and blending them with your soul aspects, your spiritual side.

To the person who said that ET’s were coming to take over our bodies, our minds, and our world, and they were already possessing people, it’s my understanding that the ET’s who are on Earth and surrounding Earth are trying to help, not harm us.  I hope someday it will be safe for them to come forward and hopefully share their advanced technology to help us solve some of our many problems.  Technology isn’t the only thing they’re more advanced in. They’re also more advanced spiritually, which is why they’re willing to help us through The Shift.

For the so called Christians who provide proof of their beliefs by quoting the Bible, if that’s what you believe in, I hope it brings you joy, hope, love, and peace, but I wish you’d realize that your proof is no more valid to the rest of us than the pictures of the deities in the clouds the lady mentioned above provided are to you.  We all need to make sense of things in our own ways.  Quit judging and condemning others, because they disagree with you.  Contrary to your beliefs, there are many ways to find God.

For the many would-be gurus who try to impose rules and guidelines and threaten dire consequences if others don’t do things your way, that is not enlightenment.  That is not awakening.  That is bullying and vanity.  Everyone is different.  You don’t have a singular pipeline to the Creator, and you don’t know everything.  You’re no more chosen, special, or loved by God or the Universe than anyone else.  Nobody knows everything.  As humans, we don’t have the capacity to know everything.  By all means, share your experience and insight, but stop claiming that you’ve got a corner on the spiritual marketplace, and your way is the only way to proceed.  You are mistaken.

There are many ways to proceed toward spirituality, and it’s up to each one of us to choose our own path.  It’s rarely a straight, easy path to take.  You’ll have to navigate through rough spots, and you may have to make a few U-turns, but you’ll eventually figure things out if you stick with it.  Experiencing the human life and growing spiritually is why we’re here.  The Angels say we always make progress, even if we don’t realize it at the time.  And remember, we don’t have to do it alone.  We all have access to Angels and Guides to help get us through.  In fact, we all have our own designer teams, gifts, purposes, and paths tailor made for us.

We all have roles to play and purposes to hopefully fulfill, but they differ by person.  One person is not favored over another.  We are all chosen ones, and we are equally important.  Awakening and becoming more enlightened usually leads to these understandings.  There is no hierarchy in the high realms.  That’s what we have on Earth, and it’s not working very well.  We’re all connected.  We’re all worthy and valuable.  We’re all loved unconditionally.

This is the last Friday of the month, and the intention for Friday night meditation for August is Change, which is pretty fitting, wouldn’t you say?  Lots of that happening for us individually and collectively.  If you wish, you’re welcome to join the Friday night meditation group, along with the Archangels, and add your loving energy to the rest.  The Angels will make sure it gets to where it’s needed most.  I hope you have a wonderfully enlightening weekend.

Blessings, all.
