Update on The Shift

Will You Join the Chaos, or Rise Above It?

Every three months or so, I channel the Archangels for an update on The Shift.  We’ve had a rough go of things lately with the escalation of violence and the response to it, a good bit of that response being hateful in its own right, along with the various attempts to politicize that violence and use it for personal gain and private agendas with the express desire to widen the gap between people.  Sadly, it seems to be working.  It would seem the divide has never been wider.

This is frustrating and scary, not to mention unproductive.  It’s increasingly difficult to find and maintain balance, including in the areas of joy, hope, love, and peace, and people in general, regardless of their political views, are struggling.  That’s something we all have in common.  The Archangels maintain that we are gaining ground and moving in the right direction, but lately that’s becoming increasingly harder to believe.  I asked them for an update on how we’re doing with The Shift, and their response follows.

Question:  It’s time for an update on The Shift and how we’re doing.  Would you please also address the increasing violence and vitriol and how that affects our progress, along with what we can do to improve things?

Answer:

It is very understandable that so many of you are struggling right now.  We wish we could tell you the struggling will end soon, but that is not likely.  We refer back to what we have been telling you for years now, that you cannot control the choices and actions of others, so you must focus on yourself, your actions and reactions, and on building a life based on joy, hope, love, and peace.  If you do this, not only will you weather the storm, but you will shorten the amount of time that it rages.  The Big 4 is not reliant on anything happening around you.  It is internal, not external, and you must focus on creating your own haven that shields you from the chaos that seems to be everywhere.  Do not allow it to be inside you, as well.

We know it is difficult to believe, but you are indeed making positive progress, although it has slowed.  We ask that you remain patient as we point out some of the strengths and weaknesses among you.  The majority of you are seeing things more clearly, and you are striving to embrace the paradigm and energies of the fifth dimension.  You are feeling the universal bond that joins all of us more strongly, and you desire more harmony, equality, and love in the world.  Yes, there are still those who cling stubbornly and desperately to the old, 3D ways and views, but their number is dwindling daily.  Also, there are fewer people who wish to control the actions and take away the choices of others.  Most of you are aware that those in power throughout the world are few in number, and although they are likely to be among the last to embrace the 5D way of life, if ever they do, there are not as many people who wish to join their ranks, as there used to be.  These are all strengths.

Many of you want to know how long it will take for changes to take hold and sustainable solutions to be found.  We have said many times that the timeline is dependent on the people, but most of you think that refers to the “other people,” rather than to you.  That is a weakness.  It is dependent on all of you, and you all need to grow and embrace a new way of seeing and reacting to things in order to make progress.  We will explain, and we will use the recent assassination of the man, Charlie Kirk, to illustrate our points.

In keeping with what we said previously, most people did not agree with Charlie’s political views and ideals.  Yes, he had a large following, and he made a living by stoking people’s fears, anger, and frustrations.  He named scapegoats to blame for various problems, and many of his followers, along with him, were very vocal, but still, the majority of people were able to see through his tactics and identify the weaknesses of his points.  His views were in keeping with third dimensional thought and practices and relied heavily on control over others, entitlement for some and exclusion of others, and the desire to recognize and accept some while discarding and persecuting others who did not meet certain criteria.  We do not say this in judgment; we only describe his work factually. 

What we wish to point out that supports our point that everyone – not just the “other people” – need to change is clear to see in the aftermath of Charlie’s death.  Many of the people who could see the fault in his rhetoric while he was alive rejoiced at his death, and this is not in keeping with the 5D energies or paradigm.  Where was the love and compassion for a man who was murdered in cold blood?  Where was the compassion for his family?  The cruelty and hatred that came out after his death from people who could clearly see how wrong he had been in life overrode all else.  Hatred is hatred, regardless of its source, and everyone, regardless of what they have done and how they have lived is worthy of compassion.  This is a lesson everyone must learn.

The death of someone, especially due to violence, is never something to celebrate, much less condone.  Do you see the disconnection?  People were able to have compassion for those who Charlie persecuted, but they could offer none for a man who’d been violently murdered.  We understand this, and we do not judge those who slipped back into the 3D mindset, but it is important to recognize when this happens, so the course can be redirected and corrected.  We do not point this out in order to chastise.  Ascension is rarely linear.  It is not easy, and most will fall back into old habits from time to time especially as old trauma is triggered and peace of mind is challenged.  It is to be expected, but it needs to be recognized, so you can learn and grow. 

Consider the negative results and hypocrisy of this line of thinking.  A man killed another man because he disagreed with his views and detested his hate filled ideas, yet the killing was an act of hate in itself.  Further, a man who was known by a limited number of people is now a household name, known by virtually everyone who has access to news coverage.  Some of those people who have just learned of Charlie can clearly see the error of his ways, yet for some who are either not yet willing to embrace the fifth dimension way of thought, as well as those who are undecided about his views, are now firmly in his camp of understanding, buying into the incomplete story of his life and work as well as the propaganda that blames the “other people” of whom they are already suspicious.  There are also those who assume Charlie was a wonderful person simply because he was a victim who left a family behind.  They will only hear or listen to the positive things about him and will ignore or refuse to consider his weaknesses because of the tragedy of the ending of his life at such a young age. 

Meanwhile, those in power are delighted to the point of being giddy to have more ammunition to widen the gap between people.  They fan the fires of blame, they misconstrue statements of others, and they seize on multiple opportunities to get rid of opponents who threaten their positions of influence.  The widening gap strengthens them and works in their favor, as people renew their hatred against each other and refuse to work together for change, thereby allowing those in power to continue to do whatever they want.  While Charlie’s work often served in widening the gap between people and vying for control over others, many who disagree with him have strengthened his goals by attacking his victimhood.

It will not be enough to recognize the changes that need to be made in the world without also participating in those changes.  Reread that last sentence.  You cannot effectively advocate for equality and acceptance for others or yourself if you are not willing to grant equality and acceptance to everyone, including those you disagree with and even those you detest.  You cannot be willing to listen and work only with people you like, while persecuting or refusing to accept the people you do not like.  Change will not happen that way.  Begin by realizing that no one is all good or all bad.  Consider that, although you may disagree on many things with people like Charlie Kirk, there are other things you may have in common, if you would only look for them. 

Many can see the unfairness and inequality visited on certain groups which is so prevalent today, including minorities, women, the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, and others, yet they think nothing of applying that same blanket condemnation to those who persecute them.  The goal must be to view every person on Earth through a lens of humanity, regardless of their views and practices.  You must accept that everyone on Earth is worthy of compassion, and although you do not have to accept their ideals and actions, you do need to endeavor to recognize them as fellow human beings, regardless of how they act or what they believe. 

The more hate-filled a person is, the more important it is to show them compassion, for hatred stems from fear.  When you show them more anger and fear and hatred, it only strengthens them and their causes.  It is not the way to change or to forge any kind of improvement.  This is what is taking so long in terms of moving forward, finding solutions, and forming a better world.  It is an avenue of growth that the majority must pursue, and many of you have stalled in this, because you cannot get past the differences you see in others or the emotions they provoke. 

There will be times you fall back on old patterns of behavior, but it is important to try to overcome the anger, fear, and hatred that are always looming close to you.  Too many of you have decided to discard, or to use a common term from today, “cancel” those people with whom you so adamantly disagree, and until you open yourselves to the possibility that they are as worthy of a better life as you are, you cannot move forward.  You must learn to see yourself in their faces, whether or not you agree with their ideals.  We do not suggest that you agree with their views or condone their actions, only that you grant them compassion and empathy, for every person deserves that. 

Consider how you feel when you condemn and cut “them” out of your consideration or block them from your heart due to their words and actions.  Does that bring you joy, hope, love, and peace?  If you are honest with yourself, you will acknowledge that it does not.  We know that their words and actions challenge your joy, hope, love, and peace also, but you can regain those things quickly if you grant them compassion and wish them well, whereas if you rail at them and refuse to include them under the label of humanity, you will struggle to regain the Big 4.  Why?  Because whether you want to be or not, you are irrevocably connected to them through the universal bond that connects us all, and you must find a way to accept that and them. 

This is not to say that you must agree with or grant their goals, for they are unacceptable and should not be granted, but although you can cancel their objectives, you cannot and should not cancel them.  That is exactly what they are trying to do to others, which you are against.  Do not fall into the trap of trying to do the same thing to them.  You cannot make them disappear any more than they can make you or others disappear.  You must find a way to move forward together if progress is to be made. 

So, the good news regarding The Shift is that most people are seeing things clearly in terms of what needs to change, and they are compassionate toward victims of inequality and those who are being persecuted.  The individual and collective consciousness has risen significantly, even though it has slowed down considerably, and people want the world to reflect a more humanitarian approach to everyone and everything.  This is significant and a huge part of the journey, but it is not all that is needed.  It is not enough.

The weakness is that many do not yet realize that it is not only the “other people” who need to change, but everyonewho needs to change and grow and evolve.  Your continued growth and ascension is not reliant on that of “others.”  Those of you who read this are, for the most part, more advanced spiritually, but recognizing what needs to change and what is no longer working is only part of the battle and, frankly, it is the easier part.  It is far more challenging to embrace the idea that you must come out of your comfort zone and relinquish your 3D impulse to judge others and embrace those who challenge you the most.  No, the world would not be better off without half of its population, so that only like-minded people to you were left.  That is not an enlightened approach to things, and it is not realistic.    

Rather, the realization that all people should be treated with respect and dignity, including those who try your patience and challenge your peace of mind, is needed before you can find solutions to the world’s problems.  There will always be those who disagree with you, but you must see past the differences and seek the commonalities, so a path toward unity can be found.  You and those like you are not enough to bring about the kind of changes that are needed.  Until you are able to form a significant majority together, sustainable change will not happen.  The sooner you embrace this idea, the sooner the chaos will ease.  Until then, you can expect it to continue to increase.

The “other people” are not as different from you as you think, despite what those in power wish you to believe.  You have much more in common with them than you have differences, if you would only look for those things.  Also, if you could find a way to be more open-minded toward them, you would have a better chance of changing their perspectives than if you continue to detest and attack them.  You might even change your own perspective on some things once you get a more complete picture of their reality.  We would lovingly and supportively suggest that you stop casting so much blame and judgment and you endeavor to reach for compassion and understanding, which is a much more solid foundation upon which to build.

We love you all, regardless of how you view and would describe each other.  We see the potential in all of you to overcome these obstacles.  You must begin to see the potential in each other, whether or not it has been realized.  Go back to focusing on and bringing more joy, hope, love, and peace into your life.  When you can rise above all the chaos, anger, and judgment, it is easier to recognize the humanity in each other and to wish each other well, rather than to condemn each other.  When you successfully build your life around the Big 4, you want that for everyone else, as well.

It is not your responsibility to convert others to a more enlightened way of thinking and living, but by improving yourself and continuing to embrace the 5D mindset, which allows for compassion and acceptance of all others, including those who do not think as you do, the energy that develops will affect those who are struggling to adapt to 5D in a much more significant way than you realize.  Combined with the Earth’s new energy, it will be enough to change a substantial amount of people who are not as advanced as you are yet.  Your growth and evolution will have a positive effect on those around you, whether they realize it, or not.  You can consider it a kind of “sneak approach” if you wish!

What will not help or advance the Earth’s evolution is to harbor anger and hatred for “them.”  Regardless of the triggers and actions they invoke, you must embrace the idea that they, too, are worthy of compassion, and you must recognize that they are part of humanity, whether their actions are reflective of that, or not.  You must continue to evolve, also, and release yourselves from the judgment and anger you feed triggered by their senseless actions.  They will not embrace a better way of doing things until you do.  It is not enough to recognize what needs to change and to want those changes.  You must also work towards unity, for without unity, there will be no sustainable change. 

You cannot afford to wait for others to change while you continue to feed your anger.  You must change, also.  That should be your focus, rather than judging and condemning the actions of others, even though their actions are unacceptable.  Truly, you have much more in common with “those people” than you have been led to believe.  Those in power work very diligently to convince you to believe otherwise.  Very few of you have the full truth or complete story when it comes to each other.  Open yourself to the possibility that others are not who you think they are.  Like you, they are more.

Final Thoughts

Based on the guidance I’m receiving from the Angels, as well as other high Guides, we’re in for more chaos.  We can allow it to defeat us, to scare us back into the 3D way of doing things, or we can rise above it.  Good or bad, it’s likely we’ll encounter many more opportunities for growth and unity in the near future, the Charlie Kirk assassination being just the start of many shocking developments.  I’m not saying there will be more assassinations, and I truly hope there are not, but it’s pretty much a given that we will be challenged by many other things to come.  They don’t give me details, and I don’t want to know the future, but the idea that we have more challenges ahead is definitely the clear tone. 

Let’s learn from the mistakes made regarding Charlie Kirk’s murder, and do better when it comes to future challenges.  It’s still so easy to look at the “other people” with disgust and condemnation.  It’s easy to focus on their words and actions instead of their humanity, especially if they act in ways that do not reflect a humanitarian viewpoint, but they’re still people.  It’s challenging sometimes to remember that, but we need to try.

Many people answer that challenge by telling me that “people like that” will never change.  My answer is not to worry about whether or not they change.  Focus instead on yourself.  It’s not our responsibility to change anyone else, but it isour responsibility to change ourselves, and we all have room to grow.  Back to Kirk’s murder, I never rejoiced at his death or thought he deserved it or condoned the violence that took place.  However, I continue to wonder why and how people can agree with some of the things he preached.  I may never understand that or them, but the fact is, I don’t have to understand it or them.  I don’t have to try to change their minds.  I just have to focus on myself and my own growth and on remembering that, although I vehemently disagree with some of their views, they are still people worthy of compassion, and judging them isn’t helping anything.  The fact is, I don’t know “them” and there is much more to a person than their views on a limited number of items.  That’s true for me, and that’s true for “them.”  We are all more than our beliefs regarding a limited group of topics. 

I need to continue to find compassion, not just for those who agree with me, but for those with whom I staunchly disagree.  I need to douse the anger I feel when I read some of Kirk’s quotes then read such complimentary, praising accounts of the man and instead work on bringing more joy, hope, love, and peace to my life and hoping others, including “those people” are eventually able to do the same.  I will never accept the ideals that Kirk represented, and I don’t want to hang out with those who do, but I need to work on accepting the people who condone them, because we’re all in this together, and it’s going to take most of us to fix the mess that is our world.  Instead of focusing on the things that separate us, we need to begin to at least try to focus on the things that we have in common.  That’s the challenge we all face.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and I hope the Archangels’ message gives you some food for thought.  It’s not meant to make anyone feel badly, it’s meant to give us some clarity and hope as well as inspire us to grow.  If you’re available and interested, you can call on the Angels anytime today from wherever you are and join us for Friday night meditation.  The intention for this month is Release, which is very fitting for the current times we continue to face that so challenge us.  Ask for their help to release the anger, fear, hatred, frustration, resentment, judgment, condemnation, and/or anything else that plagues you.  Send loving energy to those who need help with this, and the Angels will make sure to disperse it where it’s most needed.

Blessings all.
