SG:

We are drawing on the compassionate and timeless wisdom of The Gabriel Messages to provide insight and inspiration that we can apply every day of our lives.

This message from Archangel Gabriel reminds us about the power within the attitude of Gratitude to expand and enrich our next steps in life.

All that you have learned and all that has happened to you brought you to where you are now.  Be grateful.

Sometimes it is just simply enough for us to be grateful for where we are at this moment in time. We seem so driven to be looking ahead, striving for the next door to open that will allow us to accomplish our future goals. We don't feel we are moving fast enough.

There is a part of us that really wants to know what our next step is, especially when we are in the spacious time in between what we have accomplished and our forward movement into the future - that void space.

It is often difficult to appreciate this spacious time when we don’t feel productive. However, it is exactly this space that allows us to nourish ourselves and fill our inner cups with more fun, more time in Nature, and more celebration with friends and family. We need to have this space so we can reconnect to our inner source to rejuvenate and open to inner guidance. It is a true blessing, no matter how much we wish it were different.

Archangel Gabriel has suggested that our worrying, wanting and wishing slows down our ability to open to the inspiration available from the Divine flow of Wellbeing, Wonder and Wholeness that we have access to when we allow ourselves to receive. In this time of spaciousness, there is a creative flow that can connect us to the deep wellspring of Abundant Life within us at all times.

This level of Abundant flow is so expansive and inspiring that it can help me to remember that anything is possible. Inspiration opens my mind and heart. It also raises my vibrational frequencies so I have an expanded perspective on my life and feel much lighter. I can listen more deeply to my Higher Self, and allow the spark of creativity to open my consciousness. When I take this sacred time regularly, honoring the spaciousness, there is clarity about when to take action in all areas of my life.

Being grateful for where I am now and opening to receive is such a powerful teaching for living life in higher dimensions. This process brings in a beautiful element of the Sacred Feminine when I wait for guidance to be received before I bring action to life. My Soul's voice within my Higher Self communicates through my heart. When I pay attention to this voice, my heart's intelligence speaks with greater authority, and I am able to hear its wisdom with more clarity. I allow myself the space to receive in order to experience the Divine Timing inherent in this process of letting my heart inspire me into action.

Here is my prayer for today:

Divine Presence,

Thank you for opening my heart to the support and love that is available to me at all times. Please help me to integrate all that I have learned within my being so I can use these lessons to empower my life. I know that even when I am not actively paying attention, you are working with me, and guiding my way, and I AM Grateful.

I willingly commit to listening to my Soul's voice with greater dedication. I ask my Higher Self to inspire me to pay attention to the guidance that is being offered from Source. Help me to remember that I need to slow down and breathe to receive the wisdom within me.

I AM now creating space within me to receive in a greater way ~ receiving inner guidance, receiving more love, and receiving all the support that is available to me in all areas of my life. I recognize clearly that I AM never alone. I ask to be more aware and accept the presence of my support system on Earth as it is in Heaven.

For my life, for all I have received and all that I have learned, I AM grateful. And so it is.

The Gabriel Message #56

All that you have learned and all that has happened to you brought you to where you are now. Be grateful

Dear One,

You have come to a time when acknowledgment of yourself is necessary. There needs to be a truce between the warring factions of your mind. One part of you is diligently watching to make sure that you never make a mistake. When you inevitably do, it leaps to chastise and remind you about all the ways you are wrong.

This judgmental mind is never happy with your progress. Nothing you do could ever be good enough. It is relentless in its pursuit of your wrongness. It is time to tell this part of your mind to take a vacation. It needs to lose itself in the beauty of nature, and leave the rest of you alone.

You are on this earth plane to learn. Making mistakes is one way that people learn lessons. It is impossible to do things right and perfectly every time. The Divine Presence does not expect this of you. What is necessary is that you follow your heart and your inner guidance. There is much wisdom within you. But it is often like a small voice calling in the wilderness, drowned out by critical and judgmental thoughts. Yet it is listening to this quieter voice that would most serve you in your life. This voice is telling you that you are a child of a loving God, and that there is nothing you can do which could stop the flow of Infinite Love.

There is also society's voice that demands you live up to certain expectations. When you are in alignment with your Higher Self, there is a flow of love-filled energy that allows you to step into a way of being which is totally connected to the Divine Power within and around you. This energy is inviting you to BE rather than do.

You are being asked to let go of the confining armor of society's expectations and of your judgmental mind that has been conditioned by it. You are being asked to look with compassion upon yourself, and to notice the many things you are learning at this time. It is a powerful time on Earth when, although there is great suffering and fear, there are also incredible opportunities to break through into great love and peace.

Practice

What you see in the world is colored by how you perceive yourself. Can you see that, in the past, you took the steps that seemed appropriate for you at the time? Do you notice that there were times when your heart told you to make a certain choice, but for various reasons, you did not follow your intuition?

All these experiences have assisted you in learning lessons necessary for your growth. It is time to totally forgive yourself for behaving in ways you judge as wrong or bad. You would have made different choices had you known better, but you acted from your awareness at that time.

Forgive yourself and get on with your life. Do not waste any more precious time in self-criticism. You are making choices in this moment to create your future. All that you have is the power of this moment. Let the past go, and do not fear the future. Know that you are exactly where you need to be for your perfect lessons in life. It is up to you to lift the mantle of judgment and allow yourself to grow into who you would most like to be.  

Imagine acting in ways that bring you joy. Imagine your world surrounded in love. Know that you are a good, honest and caring person and give yourself the loving kindness and respect you deserve. Your imagination can set a powerful intention for your life when you use it to visualize a new and more harmonious way to be. When you set an intention, all the forces of the universe align themselves to manifest that which you visualize. It is wise to be careful how you use this powerful tool. You do receive whatever you focus on, if your focus and desire are strong enough. It is a Universal Law.

Remember to be grateful for your life. It is an incredible gift to be in a physical body. With this body you can do so many things to enjoy this world of beauty.

Be grateful for all that you are learning now, even if, at times, it feels uncomfortable. Be grateful for all that you have, even if it does not seem to be enough. Gratitude awakens your mind to the greater truth within all things, and lifts your spirit into Alignment and Joy.

So remember your message from Archangel Gabriel today:

All that you have learned and all that has happened to you brought you to where you are now. Be grateful.

Thymus: The Collective of Ascended Masters

Blessings. We are Thymus. We are the collective of ascended masters.

You are making great progress there on Earth, whether you recognize it or not. We are always recognizing your progress, which is one of the ways you benefit from this relationship of ours. You take the expansion and the growth at the Soul level, whether you know it or not, and whether you take it or not on the human level. The human within you, the negative ego, so to speak, tends to look for the flaws, the mistakes, the things that require more work on your part.

You like to have projects. You like to have things to do, and you often think that by pointing out your flaws, you will be more likely then to whip yourselves into shape. That is one of the many reasons why you are so hard on yourselves and why you do not acknowledge all the progress that you’ve already made. Another reason why you find it so challenging to acknowledge yourselves is because you look around at the outside world and you look for improvements there.

You look for improvements in your health or your bank account or your relationships, but the proof exists within you, and you must be willing to go within to feel for the progress that you’ve made. Either that or you can just take our word for it, and we are looking at you individually and collectively, by the way, but we do want you to feel it as individuals. We do want you to know that as you struggle and you suffer and as you make sacrifices, you do expand quite a bit at the nonphysical level.

And when you let go of all of that and you surrender, you give up, you let go, that’s when you often get the boomerang effect, and it comes back around to you, all of that expansion, all of that growth that you experienced as a nonphysical, soul being. When things take longer to come to fruition in the physical, you often give up hope or you become helpless and powerless in your orientation towards life. This is another reason why you benefit from hearing from the likes of us.

We want you to remember that you are really soul beings, Source Energy Beings, pretending to be human, pretending to struggle, pretending to suffer and make sacrifices so that you can know yourselves more fully and completely as you really are. As you look around at your world and you wonder how humanity is doing, and you come to the conclusion that humanity isn’t doing all that good either, you also have to admit to yourselves at some point that you are not looking at every aspect of reality when you come to that conclusion.

You are looking at the problems, the chaos, the catastrophic events, and the collapses, and you need to look at humanity as a whole. Humanity has more compassion than you have ever had before there on Earth. There is more love, more creativity, more joy being experienced, and that all is the result of the collective strides forward that you’ve made as humankind.

And so again, trust us when we tell you this and then go looking for evidence of what we are saying because it is true. Take the expansion and the growth by relaxing into it, by letting go of your feeling of responsibility that you have to make everything happen. And remember that you are there as the experiencer, and you get to choose what you experience with your ability to focus consciously and deliberately. We suggest that you do so, and you continue to do so because we like to see you happy while you are expanding exponentially throughout time and space.

That is all for now. We are Thymus. We are the collective of ascended masters, and we are always amongst you.

My lovely one, sometimes it is best to release the need to overthink. Overthinking is like worry; it distracts you from the true work you need to be doing and becomes a prison for and of the mind.

When you begin to trust yourself and the information you are receiving from The Universe, there will be no need for you to overthink anything. 

Yes, there may be mistakes along the way… that is a part of the process. Listening is the key.

My wonderful, loving child; you will make mistakes. Some of them will have you blushing with embarrassment, cringing with shame or quietly crying over the pain you have caused.

The Universe is here to tell you that it is okay! For every mistake you make, there is an opportunity for you to learn how to make things different, better and right. Do not be hard on yourself… you are human and chose your human existence to learn and grow.

You are doing just fine, my Love!

Dearest child, you are allowed to make mistakes and have momentary lapses of judgement. That is one of the reasons you decided to be here now… learning.

There is no reason to hold on to and make those mistakes a part of you. The Universe is gently reminding you to release them so you may continue to grow.

If you need assistance, all you need to do is ask.

Stopping the Race to the Bottom

Stopping the Race to the Bottom

By Steve Beckow

Posted on February 17, 2025

Where ARE we going?

Thanks for your emails on white-hat sensationalism and the Gaza anomaly. It helps to know where you’re at with events.

If I really want to stop the devolution in my own life – the race to the bottom that we’ve all been thrust into by the deep state since the Second World War –  (1) the first things I need to do, in my opinion, are:

(A) Take responsibility for everything that has happened in my life up till now, forgiving everyone, including myself for perpetrations and mistakes, and

(B) Proceed, observing peace, love, and truth in all things.

I know from experience that peace, as a consciousness state, is very strong. (2)  I’m tempted to say immoveable and in sages like Gandhi and the various Indian sages, for example, who defied the Moghul emperors, only to be cut down, it is immoveable.

Being love means we’re forever dispensing what everyone appreciates and wants. Who can argue with that? Few people do.

And truth means we need no memory, no pretense, no agenda.  The truth needs no defence. We say how things are and not as we’d like them to be, as my meditation teacher would say.

Werner Erhard defined responsibility thus:

“Responsibility begins with the willingness to take the stand that one is cause in the matter of one’s life. It is a declaration not an assertion; that is, it is a context from which one chooses to live. Responsibility is not burden, fault, praise, blame, credit, shame, or guilt. In responsibility, there is no evaluation of good or bad, right or wrong. There is simply what’s so and the stand you choose to take on what’s so.” (3)

If I don’t come from being cause in the matter of my own life, what I think, say, and do has little strength, weight, or impact.

That I do come from it and when I do reflects a stand I’ve taken. What my stand is is something I declare. I can offer my own example. Recently I declared:

“I am going to participate in leading humanity out of the pit of devolution we’ve fallen into as a result of the impact of all the operations directed against humanity by the deep state, the swamp that is being presently drained.” (4)

My emphasis and work in this area will be on thought, speech, and behavior. What can we think, say, and do to start recovering the ground we abandoned to what turns out to be Satanic elitism, bit by bit, trend by trend, crime by crime?

To even take a step on this path, I have to release all the resentments, judgments, and regrets I’m carrying around with me. None of that can come with me on the next leg of this journey.

I invoke the Law of Karmic Dispensation and the Lords of Karma to take from me all karma that remains. I forgive all those who have harmed me and ask the forgiveness of those I have harmed.

I commit to live by truth, love, and peace.   I re-commit to work for the Mother’s Plan for Ascension en masse, retaining the physical form, into an interdimensional region of space.

I commit to coming from presence, reliability, and understanding in my work with others.

I commit to being one of Archangel Michael’s Legion of Blue on Earth, here to help bring peace to the world and awaken it to higher forms of love.

Spirituality was a Mistake

Spirituality was a Mistake

By R’Kok

Channel: A. S. 

Posted on October 28, 2023

 

 

 

 

 

My dear Earth friends,

This is R’Kok speaking. I feel honored and grateful that I am once again able to communicate with you.

So: spirituality was a mistake.

That was today’s message. Have a good week.

Okay, let’s be a bit more serious.

For a while now I’ve been at that stage where I am going through my healing and integration processes.

And let me tell you, it sucks. Life was much easier and more fun back when I hadn’t started my spiritual journey yet, but had already become a member of the galactic confederation. If I still was that person, I wouldn’t feel the constant need to face painful memories and emotions. I wouldn’t feel the need to do service and volunteer work for the benefit of others (currently, mostly for the benefit of Earth people). If I was still that person, I just could suppress my painful thoughts and emotions and feelings of guilt, through sex and pleasure and food and intellectual pursuits and through blaming others.

Blaming others used to be my favorite way of dealing with negative emotions.

I could be spending my days having threesomes. Instead I’m spending my days advising how to best help the people of Earth. I’m accepting face-to-face meeting requests from individuals whose lives I ruined before I joined the galactic confederation, in order to hopefully give them a bit of closure.

And I’m spending my days sorting through the broken pieces of my younger years.

But the thing is, now that I’ve started this spiritual process, I feel trapped. Now I feel that I can’t go back. Sometimes I wish I could go back to a life consisting of sex and distractions and rationality and blaming others, but it’s too late now. Now that feels hollow.

I sort of feel that I should be saying that I’m focusing on being a better man, on helping others, on atoning for my crimes.

But the truth is, although I am accepting meeting requests from individuals whose families I tore apart, although I am advising on how to best help the people of Earth… currently I’m mostly concerned with my own pain.

I can’t handle also taking in the full enormity of what I’ve done. Just the thought of fully taking that in seems like it would obliterate me.

And yet, once I started this spiritual path, everything except focusing on spirituality and my own healing, everything except helping others began to seem hollow and not worth doing.

The way forward on this spiritual path is pain, but the way backwards is gray and meaningless. And if those are my choices, I’d rather choose pain.

At least it’s meaningful pain.

Do you think I’m a jerk, because at this time, I’m mostly concerned with my own pain?

Well, maybe I am a jerk.

And by the way, don’t be too quick to say that I’m such an great guy. If you had been born in another place, in another time, you would know me as that monster whose secret police tortured your husband or daughter to death. Then you likely would not be so eager to compliment me.

If you’re ever able to travel the galaxy, tell my victims what a wonderful person I am.

They’ll be able to help you get rid of any illusions you might have about me.

Tell the man whose wife I kidnapped, repeatedly raped and eventually ate that I’m such a good person.

But let’s get back to the main topic. I was describing that being asleep is pretty comfortable, on a surface level, in the short term. While going through a spiritual journey of healing and integration can initially be very painful. And that is something that many, MANY people on Earth subconsciously understand. Including the sleepers, but also including some people who consider themselves spiritual and who actively do spiritual practice.

Now, if you strip it down, the basic spiritual techniques are really simple. Anyone can do it. There are a million options, but one possibility is just: every day, sit down, close your eyes, breathe deeply and slowly, and breathe out slightly longer than you’re breathing in. And also, if so-called negative thoughts or emotions come up, observe them. That’s it. In essence, it’s really easy. Anyone can sit down, close their eyes and breathe. Anyone can observe their thoughts and emotions.

However. HOWEVER. Most Earth people understand a few things deep down:

One: observing your pain is really painful. It hurts.

Two: the path of observing or otherwise dealing with your pain isn’t just really painful, it’s also long.

Three: developing awareness and compassion and unity consciousness means that you can’t retreat into a comfortable and pleasurable narcissistic bubble anymore. You can’t blame others anymore, you can’t point fingers anymore. You’ll feel obligated to spend less time doing things you like and more time on helping others or on personal growth.

Four: on Earth it can be very lonely to be serious about spirituality, especially if you don’t go along with mainstream spirituality and all its cliches and types of performative spirituality. Other people may think you’re weird or insane. You may not feel like you have a lot in common with the people you share a planet with.

Five: seriously embarking on the spiritual path is almost like burning the bridge you just crossed, in the sense that once you have walked the spiritual path for a few years, ordinary life starts to feel sort of meaningless. Once you seriously start with spirituality, it’s hard to unburn that bridge and return to a previously-comfortable slumber. Maybe eventually your spiritual journey will lead back to a place where the small things in life do become meaningful and joyful again, but that’s not what it seems like during a particular part of your spiritual journey.

And that is part of why most people haven’t even begun their spiritual journey, and why some spiritual people aren’t as advanced as they would like to be. (Although to be fair, lots of spiritual people are genuinely doing great work and are doing everything properly, they aren’t as far along as they would like because it’s just a long and hard road, and because life on Earth is just very tough).

Some spiritual people meet their needs and do their regular spiritual practice, which is great and which is two thirds of what is required. But then they just suppress or deny or judge their so-called negative emotions or their so-called negative thoughts.

That said, I know that a lot of you out there aren’t suppressing or denying or judging your so-called negative emotions and negative thoughts, and are instead dealing properly with them, for example by observing them. You have my respect. It’s a long and painful and seemingly unrewarding road, isn’t it? I’ve been told that it gets better, but yes, right now it sucks.

And that’s why a lot of sleepers sleep, and why some spiritual people just suppress their so-called negative thoughts and emotions and then don’t make as much progress as they would like. The road of actually properly dealing with your so-called negative thoughts and emotions can be long and painful.

Yes, being fully enlightened is amazing, however being asleep is much more comfortable in the short term than properly dealing with your so-called negative thoughts and emotions, whether that’s by observing them or something else.

You can think of it as: normal Earth consciousness is like being overweight, sitting on the couch, watching tv and eating chips. It’s not what is best for you, but it is comfortable in the short term. Doing spiritual practice and properly dealing with your so-called negative thoughts and emotions. is like going to the gym regularly and losing weight. Full enlightenment is like having a fit, healthy body.

Yes, everyone wants a fit body, but not that many people are really willing to put in the consistent effort to get there.

Even the people who identify that having a fit body is something they want — even spiritual people who want to grow spiritually — will sometimes still just suppress or deny or judge their so-called negative thoughts and emotions. Because dealing properly with them can be a long and painful road.

So, spirituality was a mistake.

But maybe I will someday have a spiritual six-pack regardless. I do want to put in the work, long and painful as that road may be.

Maybe someday you will have a spiritual six-pack, too.
