I know these people mean well, but what are they so afraid of? Such messages do not only contain fear but they express a misunderstanding of what is actually divine. The fear comes from thinking that our ego and human body, be it more dense and of a slower vibration than our essence, is not divine. There is fear that the Earth itself is not divine, and that we came here by mistake or by punishment - something that was completely out of our own hands. We have many groups of channeled entities (some claiming to be angels or extraterrestrials) who claim they are in charge of us, taking good care and guiding us all because we're too stupid to know how to handle our own lives. And we should thank our lucky stars they're here doing all these wonderful things for us - we'd be so lost without them, eh? These beings say they are bringing great changes to us, communciating with our governments behind closed doors (and our backs) striking deals (what those specific deals are is never really explained) that they say is for our own good. That includes belittling other civilizations because of their "control" over us (a double message). It also includes people who believe that prayer alone, not action, is the only answer to settling problems. But, HELLO! What about OUR involvement in our own process here?

Isn't it ironic and manipulative of these beings to say such things? (You'll find that many of these messages are completely hypocritical: In one sentence they'll write, "don't listen to what channeled entities tell you," and then in the next sentence, "listen to what we are telling you to do.") And yet, there are people who go absolutely ga-ga over these articles and take them completely at face value without even second-guessing them. Makes me wonder what they resonate to because it's not very empowering. Sure it sounds great - there's all this flowery language lulling you into thinking this is coming from a very important source. But is there really any substance to it? Is it grounded in some practical terms that we can utilize while here on Earth? What is it really catering to - people who prefer NOT to take self-responsibility, or prefer to think that true power is always outside of ourselves, or believe that we are incapable connecting with God within ourselves? Just because there is a message doesn't mean it automatically comes from a high or reliable, wise and loving source.

I also think that if they were truly high beings caring for what is in our own best interest, they'd leave the decision-making to ourselves honoring our free will, not put us in further separation, and share some positive tools with which WE can improve our OWN lives, while acknowledging that ALL are part of All That Is; not lesser, not lower, not worthy of our own divinity.

Now, there are also people who may tell us we are not on our right path. That is impossible. We are always on our right path, even though it may not be the most positive one for us, not one that is in total alignment with our essence or synchronicity. We do have several probable paths and we make the choice each day which path we want to take. And if we wish to know more on a conscious level, our essence knows and will tell us what is the right path for ourselves. Our path is always correct because we also learn though our mistakes.

Please don't get me wrong, I think there is a purpose for people attracted to various messages, and why there has to be such a wide variety of messages shared, why there is such separation, and why these entities and their "channels" have to do what they do: so that everyone can learn about themselves and what is true for them. The irony in this is that even their fear is a divine message. Some people are simply not ready to be their own guru - and that's alright. We each have our own timing for things.

With that said, I would like to offer the following as a reminder: Without our ego our personality wouldn't be able to survive on Earth. Without our body we would not have the physical vehicle WE desired to have in which to experience and experiment with creative life, manifestation, on Earth. Without feeling passion we would not wish to create or make love. Without having some fear we would not know when to be cautious: when to stop at the edge of a mountain cliff instead of walking right off it, or not allow a vicious animal to eat us, or not stand in front of an on-coming car completely oblivious to the fact that it could seriously maim or kill us. Without anger or pain we wouldn't have indicators of where we need reprogramming, healing, or more love. Without challenges we'd have no opportunity for growth and understanding. (If life were so boring on Earth - we'd probably not want to come here at all!)

All these things serve vital purposes for our colorful Earth experience. This is what we're here for! They are to be understood. Not to be denied, suppressed, feared or avoided. What we suppress, or aren't honest with, prevents us from facing reality and builds up and explodes in ways that could be dangerous. If we release all these things said to be not spiritual without understanding them as being spiritual helpers to our own development, we could be ignoring some great lessons. Ironically, once we embrace all of Earth (with its diversity) we can release ourselves from the cycles of reincarnation - if we choose to. But until we embrace it the chances are pretty good that we will choose to come right back here to face it once again. Whatever belief system we have when we transition will still be with us on the other side :) Any being who discounts or disrespects our experience as a divine being in our Earth body has an agenda I'd personally rather not be involved with - but I bless them on their own path.

So while seeking our higher selves, our essence, living what we consider to be sacred, it can only help us to realize that the light is everywhere, even in the darkness, and to embrace all that we are and the process that we are involved in; for it is our own process and a divine one.
