Not A ‘Normal’ Journey

I have been on a journey for most of my life. Not a normal journey, but one of the soul, the spirit – of the one behind the one who I thought I was. Something or someone has been propelling me through this lifetime as though I am a passenger on a fate-bound mystical train with no way to look forward and only a view of where I have been.

Since I was very young, I felt urged toward uncovering the occult secrets of the Masters from the past. I read and I discovered. First, came the Western Esoteric Tradition. It started with the College of Esoteric Studies out of Barbados. Then, The Rosicrucian Order A.M.O.R.C., where I became Master of the Lodge. Continuing my search, I read Ouspensky, Gurdjieff, Wei Wu Wei, and Harold Percival. All pretty heady stuff. I felt like I was making progress, but to where?

God said:

Beloved Child of Mine, remind yourself that, when you feel low, even at your very lowest, you are in a good place, for you are like a pitcher in baseball who pulls his arm way back before he throws the ball. Or, you are like a runner, who gets down low, then sprints forward with great momentum. Or, you are like an archer pulling back on your bow. When you stop pulling back and let go, whatever you are sending goes faster and farther and on target.

When you feel low, you are going to spring forward with power. You are going to rise to new heights.

I ask you not to be discouraged. Discouraged means disheartened. Certainly, you are not to dishearten yourself.

You can only rise higher. You will get up from being down. You have done it before. And you will do it again. As you rise, so will others. You set the momentum. You break the barriers that were in your mind, and others will also.

All your battles are with yourself. When you feel depressed, you have depressed yourself. Others and other matters may press upon you, yet you set the tone. If you feel reviled, you are the one who reviles yourself.

And when you feel inspired, no matter how much others have inspired you, you are your own inspirer.

You are your own everything, your own detractor, hider, show-off, mover, story-teller, actor and star of the show, target, savior, dispenser, mistake-maker, affronter, disbeliever, believer, astounder, rebounder, derelict, beater, jailer, freer. You are the belle of the ball, and you are the wallflower.

Have you ever been under distressing financial circumstances, expecting to fall into an abyss of poverty with the next emergency expense? How many times have you suffered the worst of your expectations? How many times did help come from unexpected places to get you through despite the worst of odds?

Our expectations come from what we have been programmed to expect. What actually happens depends on the laws of reality deciding the nature of our experiences. Those who pay attention will see that what actually happens is most often at odds with what is expected. Why do our plans and anticipations about the future rarely happen the way we envision them? Why are our programmed expectations so different from our actual experiences?

Russia has just made an exciting announcement: Roscosmos, the country’s space agency, plans to launch a manned mission to the Moon in the next decade.

“A manned flight to the Moon and lunar landing is planned for 2029,” head of Roscosmos Energia Vladimir Solntsev announced at a space and technology conference which took place in Moscow this Tuesday.

However, at the moment, we only know a few details about this ambitious plan. It’s only known that Russia is building a new spacecraft for the mission, and its first scheduled flight is planned for 2021. Then, the uncrewed version of the spacecraft will be sent to the Moon in 2025, before it can finally take astronauts there four years later.

Remember, Dear Ones, that choosing a word or intention for your day is like setting your internal GPS to where you would like to go. It is an empowered process of choosing your energetic preference rather than living by reaction. As you continue to grow and evolve and step into your mastery, surrender and flow with intention will become your preferred way of navigation, so much so that you will wonder how you ever did it any other way. ~Archangel Gabriel
