DMC - Archangel Michael: We Offer You the Keys to Self-Mastry

June 1999

Beloved masters, I radiate to you the loving blessings of the Creator via a glorious outpouring of Light, refracted into the colors of the seven rays of your solar system, and infused with the luminescence of Christ Light from the five higher galactic rays. Twelve Rays in all that contain the attributes, aspects and virtues of our Father/Mother God. See and feel this ROD of LIGHTEN- ING as fills and surrounds you- enfolding, permeating and transforming all it touches. This is the gift that is being offered to you as you move deeper into the throes of transformation. Close your eyes for a moment and feel with all your senses as we draw you closer into our auric field of Love/Light.

You now know what it is like to be in the "Flow of Spirit" at times, and it is easy to maintain composure and control of your emotions and thought processes when all is going well. You are more aware of the Universal Laws and have a broader knowledge of why you are in the physical body and that you have a divine mission, along with an ultimate goal of returning to Unity Consciousness. But you are still caught up in the game of polarity, whereby the pendulum swings back and forth as you seek balance, which throws you off kilter in the process. This is disconcerting because you feel you are not succeeding or living up to the guidelines that have been revealed to you. Look up the word guidelines in your dictionary-it means instructions, criteria, directions-a standard or principle to follow in order to determine a course of action.

Beloveds, we encourage you to relax and not judge yourselves so harshly. Many of you are accomplishing in one lifetime what would ordinarily take dozens or even hundreds of life experiences. You are learning to think and act through the filter of the heart and with the wisdom of the soul/Higher Self. You are bravely delving into and seeking to transmute thought patterns that were instilled in your mental, emotional and etheric bodies over many hundreds of lifetimes. You are striving to maintain a sense of balance while facing your shadow-self and seeking to integrate all the fragments of imbalanced energy you have created since you first took on physical embodiment. We are aware that this is no easy task.

One of the pitfalls of the process, or "glamours" as they were called in the esoteric teachings is judgment of self, or comparing yourself to others- an action instigated by the ego-self. Just as we have instructed you to be the observer in your interactions with others, we ask you to be the observer of your own thought-processes- to stay focused on what is occurring at the moment, and not waste energy on reviewing the past or projecting your thoughts into the uncertainty of the future. Within the moment is the key to self-mastery, for this is when you have the opportunity to draw on the harmonious resonance of your Divine Self. You cannot access the wondrous gifts of Spirit if you are in engulfed in the mists of self-doubt or the swirling thought-patterns of discord. Spirit requires harmony and an environment of tranquility in order to plant the seeds of illumined wisdom.

So you see, it is not what you have accomplished, it is not what you know or how much wisdom you have garnered, it is not even about the service you have given to others- it is about creating a fertile field within the physical vessel in which Spirit can descend and take dominion. As this is accomplished, all else follows at the right pace, within the right time frame and with ease and grace. This is a simplistic explanation of the ascension process, but it is given so that you will stop judging yourselves and trying so hard to live up to the measurements or guidelines that others have set forth. This is the old way where rules, regulations and restrictions were set down by others who wished to control and dominate the masses. You are becoming sovereign beings once more, with your own personal, intimate connection to the Creator via your I AM Presence, and your own true path to tread which will lead you back into ONENESS at the proper time.

Remember each of you is a unique aspect of the Creator; each of you has a specific mission and journey to accomplish; each of you has within you experiences, impulses and memories from many lifetimes. Therefore, your journey back to wholeness will also be unique. Here is where you claim one of the most important keys to mastery: Choosing your own path back to enlightenment by claiming your own truth and living that truth to the best of your ability, and allowing everyone else to do the same. Self-respect and self-love are also important components of self-mastery whereby you allow the Essence of love/Light to flow to you and through you and the radiate out to others. This helps you to put your trust in Spirit as you let go and LET GOD WORK THROUGH YOU.

Down through the ages, the number of souls who aspired to become initiates or sought enlightenment were few. There were the elite esoteric schools of wisdom in ancient times where initiates were subjected to a long and rigorous training process, sometimes many years. However, few succeeded and even fewer were able to take the abilities they had gained and put what they had learned into action for the good of all. The training techniques of the Eastern world also entailed years of mediation and strict discipline in order to attain a level of self-mastery. But there were few who came out into the world and put to practical use what they had gained. Those times are past, beloveds. The keys to self-mastery are being offered to the masses, but must be accomplished while living and functioning in the world of cause and effect, and then practiced until they are fully integrated and put to practical application in everyday life. This facilitates the healing and harmonizing of the energy patterns with those around you, as each of you becomes an example for others to emulate. This is part of coming back into the awareness of the "ONENESS" of all things. The times of isolation or separatism are over.

Just as you would not expect a child who is in the first grade of schooling to act or take on the responsibility of a youngster in a much higher grade, so it is on the soul path of initiation. It is a gradual process, and your soul/Higher Self knows what is best for you, if you will only listen to the guidance of Spirit. We do not expect you to be perfect, you are not judged if you make a mistake or take a wrong turn once in a while. Live each moment to the best of your ability, while allowing yourself the latitude of acknowledging all the emotions that arise, but by not permitting them to throw you into discord. Step by step, and experience by experience, old habits and thought patterns will fall away-you will move out of the entrapment of limitation and the ego, into the empowerment of Spirit whereby you will gradually become the master of your destiny and the director of your reality.

As the new millennium draws nearer, we ask you to begin to build a vision of how you perceive the future of humanity and the Earth for the next century. The secret is for each of you to create your own vision of perfection, or how you would imagine Heaven on Earth to be. You are becoming much more powerful in tapping into the thought-forms or cosmic substance of manifestation as you join together in conscious, loving intent. So it is important that each of you add your vision to that of the rest of the world. Remember the miracles of manifestation begin within each heart/soul center, it then radiates outward and connects with like energy, thereby magnifying and creating powerful thought-forms which are eventually manifested on the physical plane. Allow Spirit to begin "downloading" the wisdom and inspiration you will need to gain clear insight as to what you "highest" vision is to be so that you can add your inspired thought and energy to that of the whole.

REMEMBER, BELOVEDS, WE ARE ALL IN THE PROCESS OF ASCENDING BACK INTO UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS TOGETHER. IT IS THE DESIRE OF OUR FATHER/MOTHER GOD THAT YOU EXPERIENCE PEACE, LOVE AND JOY- NOW!

We have stated many times before that part of the initiation process and becoming a co- creative master of peace and harmony is to come to a better understanding of the workings of Spirit and the Universal Laws. When you know the rules, and the consequences of not following the rules, it helps in making the proper choices. In our attempt to assist you in this endeavor, we will continue our lessons of integration of the higher attributes of the chakra system by transmuting and healing the imbalanced aspects.

Our focus last month was on the FIFTH or THROAT CHAKRA which resonates to the frequencies of the color BLUE. It is important that you understand that colors vibrate to specific energy patterns, as does everything in the material world. Envision the words you speak taking form and radiating forth in specific colors and shapes: Sharp red daggers of anger, hate or rage, or the blazing red sword of empowerment and strength; muddy green hooks of jealousy or attempts to control and possess; or words which radiate vibrant green energy of healing and harmony. It is not by coincidence that your Earth is predominately made up of the colors of blue which carries the energies of peace, serenity and truth, and green which relays life-force energy, healing and balance. Whatever it takes, it is vital that you accept the universal truth that within every word you speak, every thought and deed you project there is a quality of energy projected as well, either positive or negative. If you have observed and focused on the energy of the Throat Chakra, you should be more aware of the language you are using in everyday conversations and the thought-patterns that run through your mind. When you endeavor to integrate the higher aspects of each chakra and color, you invoke the assistance of your Higher-self. This enables you to transcend old habit patterns, to speak your truth with discernment and express your feelings in a positive way. You will also learn discretion and to be brave enough to not always have to express an opinion-to know when to be silent. A master speaks softly and often remains silent, observing and listening, unless he is in a teaching situation. It is also important that you begin to eliminate language that carries low vibrational frequencies and replace them with positive words of empowerment. Practice listening with the inner-ear of Spirit to the messages or meanings behind the words others speak. Monitor your speech constantly to see that your words match what you truly feel.

We will now turn to the SIXTH CHAKRA * THE THIRD EYE which radiates the frequencies of INDIGO ENERGY * It is time to clear the static and distortions from your THIRD EYE which is the doorway to the gifts of transcendence and mastery. The pituitary gland is being reactivated and is opening like a beautiful lotus blossom which allows access to the light packets and encoded wisdom stored within your brain structure. When the veil of forgetfulness was drawn across your memory, you became disconnected from your Higher-self and the natural abilities of clairvoyance, clairaudience, creativity and intuitive wisdom began to atrophy. The higher dimensional levels of the brain shut down resulting in fear, headaches, negative thought-patterns, a sense of isolation or being shut-off from your soul/Higher-self and God. Humanity began to focus on the lower dimensional frequencies or instinctual patterns of the brain rather than the higher frequencies of the Superconscious mind.

The human mind is awakening as part of the resurrection/mutation process and you are coming to the realization that you have all the tools necessary to create any reality you desire. All creation begins with a thought first-the intensity and consistency of the thought determines how fast it will manifest in the physical plane. Your sensitivities will increase and your needs will change as you move up the path of refinement. As you develop belief in yourself and your abilities, and learn to live attuned to your Higher Self and in harmony with the Universal Laws, your world will become magical and your desire for love, peace, joy and abundance will naturally unfold as you move into the higher frequencies of balance and harmony with Spirit.

The path for you to follow is clearly marked, and there are signposts and guidelines along the way. All you have to do is go forward, one firm step at a time, with loving intent and firm resolve. We are near to support you when you stumble, to whisper encouragement when you are discouraged, but most of all we are here to radiate the empowering love of God to you so that you will know you are never alone. I surround you in an auric field of love and protection.

I AM Archangel Michael.
