Today's Angel Message
====================
 
Uriel's Message -- Choose Your Awareness
 
Everything on earth has an energetic frequency that connects to what matches it. Energy flows in the direction of greatest acceptance and least resistance but it is not able to choose what it matches, it goes in the direction of what is attracting it. Your awareness creates a field of attraction that magnetizes energy to you, allowing corresponding energetic frequencies to attach themselves to you. A connection cannot be created with an opposite energetic frequency.
 
The energy of ear attracts fear; the energy of love attracts love and all energies contained within these two polarities attract similar frequencies. The energies with the lowest frequencies appear to be the most powerful because fear is a natural human state and an overriding energy of the third dimension. They correspond to your awareness of your imperfection, unworthiness and fear of rejection which you unconsciously project into the world and attract these frequencies to you. 
 
The awareness of yourself as an aspect of the divine, of your power and worthiness attracts higher frequencies that manifest into form in your reality. Although you may wish to have the joy, peace and abundance that your heart knows is possible for you, unless you have a conscious awareness of these energies and an intention to create these connections, you will attract energies that correspond to the lowest energetic frequencies you allow to be part of your consciousness. 
 
Choosing your awareness sets an intention for your energetic frequency. There are many energies to choose from and all are possible connections and expressions for you. The earth is a banquet of energies and all can be chosen and expressed which is why you should pay attention to the awareness you choose for yourself. Energy has no judgment or opinion, it is presented as an option for connection and waits for you to choose. Be aware of yourself as divine and you will connect with the highest energetic frequencies that allow your divinity to manifest. Consciously reject fear and it will not exist as an option for you. Let your awareness choose joy, peace and abundance in all that your heart desires and that is the reality you will create for yourself.

Mirror Mirror ~ 21 Days to Reflect God ~
The Beacons of Light ~ Re-minders from Home
June 15, 2011
======================================

~ Re-minders from Home ~
 
From Steve:
 
At some point in our lives each of us has to stop and ask some basic questions. When I was growing up many of my friends were another religion and that naturally brings up the question "Which one is the right one?" I studies several religions and found a sense of tolerance of other religions built into most. After collecting a few of these ‘questions’ in my mind I understood that they were all stories told from different tribes passed down from generation to generation from different parts of the world. So that leads to the larger question: What are the common points of all religions? What are they all saying and how do they get that message across? II find it interesting that a supreme being with similar attributes was found throughout. In fact I find it interesting that god in some form managed to surface in our reality no matter where we found ourselves on living on Earth.
 
I will also point out here that there is a real need being fulfilled here and don’t let the use of the word stories make them any less powerful. People in all walks of life need to see their own reflection regularly and religion has been one of many ways that this has been fulfilled on Earth. In this beautiful message the group led us on a journey to see how we find and use these mirrors in our lives everyday. The funny part is that rarely do we see that it is our own reflection in the mirror.
 
Have a great month and be present.
 
Big hugs and gentle nudges,
Steve

Greeting from Home
 
Point of No Return
 
All of humanity has reached a level to which there is no return. There is no going backward in vibrational status and this day humans have reached a critical mass level. You knew it was coming. You knew the direction was going this way and we told you recently you had reached another critical mass level where love would actually overpower fear on your planet within the collective. Fear has been the one motivating factor that has been used throughout the planet to self-motivate. Now it may be helpful to find a new motivation.
 
Today, we would like to take that a step further. We would like to share some of our perceptions of your journey. In the beginning it was small, tiny steps and now you are running at full steam taking these huge leaps to jump as many steps as you can in one simple move. Due to these changes many of the comforts you have set up are beginning to change. It is not that you will be uncomfortable, but simply the fact that what once brought you comfort may no longer. You have cleared a space in order to use your energy to its highest potential. You had created a business or job, clientele, friendships and all the support networks, yet you will soon find that you do not need the support in the same way. All of humanity has just taken a very quiet but very effective and huge step in vibration and it happened very fast. It will continue to do this as long as everyone is in this together, as long as you have some demarcation points where you can measure and see your own growth.
 
Changing the Game
 
Why is it necessary to see your own growth in order for you to continue moving forward? This is a game, dear ones. It is exactly that, a game. You know how difficult it is for us to give the Keeper information directly from Home that he has to bring through and actually translate it into messages that fit into your world.
 
There are some very interesting pieces that are starting to work. Let us ask you a few questions and then we will go through and help to uncover some of the answers or the possible potentials that lay in front of you. Ask yourself what are the belief systems that you hold that empower you? We have talked many times about belief systems in your world. We have talked many times about belief systems being in your way. Many times you make firm, consistent and inflexible belief systems that simply have to crack and fall away. Sometimes they fall away with great drama and difficulty, so that you can move to the next level. We are asking you to consider building flexible belief systems where you are open to new experiences and open to new thoughts and perception because each time you make one of these huge jumps, you are seeing everything from a different perspective and that is huge. Why?
 
Mirror Mirror
 
Dear ones, you are creators. You are the ones who are creating every single thought. Every emotion that you have is a trigger that sparks the thought into the universe for manifestation. It is done magnetically through your heart. It is done in connection with every other creator, yet you are a creator in hiding – god incarnate in some way. In order to come here and play the game and pretend to be human, it was necessary to enter the illusion of time, for being infinite on planet Earth does not work. This is a game of pretending to be finite and now you have learned to play it almost too well as your true nature is infinite. In order to create the illusion each of you creates a sacred space of your own. Your own reality within your own little bubble and it works very well up to a point where you start becoming aware that you are not the only creator on planet Earth. That is where the challenge comes from and if you will look at your societies, your businesses, your governments, all the collective vibrations whether they are religions, churches, organizations of any kind that come together to reflect your magic, that is what this is.
 
Look at all the good things that have come of that. Religions have brought tremendous strength, unity and community based on love consciousness. They have reinforced concepts and ideas which many people have tried on and used effectively. Why is it so wonderful to have something of that nature? Because it is a belief system that can reflect your light. It is something in the way of a mirror. You have many of these mirrors here on Earth not limited to religions. Each reflects your unique magic in some way and is designed to help you re-member who you really are. It is in these spaces that you rejuvenate the spirit within, the god within.
 
So why do you have so many religions on planet Earth? That is a recent question. The reason for that is very simply that you have different vibrational ranges throughout the world and need representations of each. It doesn’t necessarily make a difference which one you use because all of them are a reflection of your light. The challenges come when one god does not make room for the other gods. Most religions have become exclusive and that has caused many problems and wars. Therefore we tell you that you are growing and if you wish to see your true reflection in a mirror find a mirror that is flexible enough to grow with you.
 
Mirrors of Light
 
So what is a mirror of light? If we handed you a stone – a little, tiny stone – and we said, carry this beautiful stone with you in your pocket when you leave here and everything will work magically for you from this point forward. Will it work? If you believe it works, it will work. It is a mirror. When you go to a doctor, a doctor will say, "This is common. I can help you fix this problem which is no problem at all. We have fixed many people. We simply give you this pill, get a good night’s sleep and you are going to be fine." Will it work? If you believeit does, it will. If you have doubts, if you are wondering if even allopathic medicine is working for you, it will not work the same. These are not hard and fast things that work for everyone. Every individual is individual for that reason. As you grow, the range of diversity will grow larger. What we tell you is that these are reflections of your light. These are the ways in which the little gods have to use their energy on planet Earth. They have to mirror reflect it in some way in order to see it themselves. So we ask you to become consciously aware of your mirrors and we ask you to collect mirrors and get lots of them and set them up in your house and set all these potentials up so that you see yourself on a regular basis. No, we are not talking about visual mirrors here so you can relax. It does not mean you have to fix your hair every moment of seeing yourself in the mirror. What it means, is that you have many flexible belief systems that you can use your power through…that can reflect your light.
 
There are many healers and teachers that hear our words. We call in many healers and teachers, for this is the energy that we have worked with the Earth for many, many of your lifetimes and we are so excited for you are at the point where you are starting to uncover the veil. You are starting to hear sounds, different pieces behind the veil that you have never heard before. It is your growth, it is changes in your own physical being that are allowing you to do this. This illustrates that you are starting to become aware. This is the illusion that there is only one truth and that all these pieces are meant to reflect your truth. Why am I saying that? Why are we saying that each one of you has a truth when in fact there are so many here on the planet? We have spoken of this before. We have told you that there are two important pieces to re-member. Number one, you are god and you have a responsibility to use your creative powers. Number two and probably just as important; you are not the only god. You also have to use your powers in harmony with the other creators around you. That is the part that brings together the whole collective of heaven to be created on earth. That is what you are moving into – an empowered society -- such has never before existed on Earth. You have always had free choice, but as a collective vibration, you have never chosen to fully take your own power. What does that mean? If you are god, does that mean that as god you do not need to play the game any longer?
 
Responsibility = The Balance of Power
 
Well, you have that concept and you have that opportunity but most of you have been here lifetime after lifetime as teachers or healers working to get the planet and all of humanity to the point where you could make this step that is now before you. It is taking place. The veils are coming off and what you are seeing is your own reflection. It is very important that you understand this because along with your incredible power comes a level of responsibility and your power can only be balanced when you take that level of responsibility. Your power can only be increased when you increase that level of responsibility. This is what is before each and every one of you. This is the area that each of you will start to begin to see.
 
21 Days of Reflected Light
 
We will now pretend to play in your illusion of time and will tell you that from this point forward and for 21 days from right now, we will show you yourself. You will see your own power directly reflected back in something you have – an idea, a concept that manifests right in front of you. Watch for the miracles during the next 21 days. You will create many in your life but there will be at least one that will be irrefutable that you will absolutely understand right from your core essence that you have created it. We do this from time to time to give you confidence, to let you know your true nature. You have built a veil that keeps you from remembering Home, it keeps you from remembering your past lifetimes, it keeps you from remembering your advancement as a soul and now what is taking place is that you are beginning to dissolve that veil entirely.
 
You have placed the veil between the two lobes of your brain. It is the reason you have two halves in your brain. Consider the left one to hold the illusion of time and in the right one, there is no time. So the right brain represents Home, the left brain represents Earth. These are now blending together in a way that has not happened before. The spirit is evolving and the physical being will now evolve to house the empowered spirit. As such many of you are starting to talk to spirit in some way. You are all starting to find parts of yourself where you have direct connections to Home. If you trust it you will learn to bring that energy in to anchor your light. You will ground light, give it a new path to travel and call in your light in a very powerful way.
 
Each and every one of you is beginning to do this in your own way. If there was one piece that we could give you all, simply by tapping you on the shoulder, it would be confidence. It would be soul confidence because your soul has traveled this Earth many times. Many of you have gone to great lengths and great sacrifice to make it possible for the Earth to take these next steps…and here you are. Some of you are awakening from the dream saying, "Now that I am awakening, what am I supposed to do?" There is a lot of laughter around that because that is the veil in action. We are not here to teach you anything, we are here to help you re-member. We are here to help you reveal that part of yourself so that you can see this reflection for yourself. It is not about showing anybody else or proving your abilities or magic. Then you take it forward and balance it with responsibility and you balance it with harmony with the other gods around you and you learn to infuse everything with light. This naturally amplifies your light. This is exactly where you are moving to and exactly what you are beginning to do right now.
 
Spreading Light
 
Take those smiles that you get from time to time and spread them around. Take the gifts that each and every one of you have and find a use for it in some way – even if it is just a momentary grounding of the energy – find a way to use that to where you can see and offer your own abilities to other people. Yes, it can be discouraging sometimes because you go around with your belief systems, "Oh, this person does this over here and this person has this training. If I am going to do that then I must go through the same steps. I must go through the same process and it will take me years to get there." We tell you that you do not need to do that at this point. Your energy is being called by every being out there and we tell you that if you start to move into your energy, into your passion – those of you who need training, who need other pieces of it – will be directed to it very quickly. You do not need to plan this out, you simply need to move in the direction of your heart and let it show the way. Let god come through you. Let yourself reflect that energy and whatever it is, a religion, a healing modality, a book, a statue or a rock, it makes no difference if you believe in it, it works. You are truly the center of your own universe and we ask you to start considering that with every action you create.
 
It is very difficult for many of you because you have come in with an incredible level of sensitivity in order to do your work. That sensitivity makes you feel everything and right away you are hesitant to put your energy out there because you say, "Everybody will feel that. I have no right to put my energy out there because everybody will feel my energy and it will be invasive to other people." We hope you can consider the opposite of that. Your energy is carried by you because you are the only one that can bring that part of Home to the planet. You are the only person that can bring that puzzle piece from Home and here you are wondering, "Am I good enough to carry this?" Everybody at Home is telling you to go ahead and take your piece out to the game board and play it for all that it is worth for you have earned it.
 
Missing Energy in the Universe
 
Many of you do not do things because you think you are invasive to other people or affecting other people and we tell you that you are but it is the opposite, Your energy is what is missing in the universe and if you hold it within, heaven on earth cannot complete. There are gifts that each and every one of you have and hold but your feelings of inadequacy, your feelings of not being good enough are momentary pieces that we hope will go right through you and you will step forward and adapt from there because those blockages will restrict Earth from moving and taking this next step. You will find that the pace is quickening and even over the next year it will quicken even more. Take this as an exciting challenge. Take this as an opportunity. We ask you to paint your energy everywhere. We have given the Keeper an exercise to do it with because you are so sensitive and concerned about your energy being on things, we do not want it to be aggressive so we ask you to use the back of your hand almost as if you were imagining it. You do not need to actually paint your energy on someone but when you do, imagine you are using it with the back of your hand. It is not aggressive, it is simply putting back the energy that you have been in charge of within the universe. You are putting back that flavor of god and it is needed right now. It is not just about one god opening up and remembering their power. It is about a planet of empowered beings awakening from the dream. Dear ones, you have asked to be there and many of you did not even have contracts that were important for you to be in this lifetime at this moment, but you were not going to let this party happen unless you came to be here at this moment and here you are. You have made it. Do not wait. Do not wait for 2012. Do not wait for the 11-11. Do not wait for tomorrow. Start putting it out now. Act as if it is now and let the mirror reflect your magic. Watch what takes place. Enjoy this next 21 days. All of you will get at least one reminder and some of you, many reminders of your magic, of your gifts, of your abilities. You have a unique flavor of light.
 
There came a time when the Keeper began channeling as he calls it. He was reading a book from the Kryon energy and he asked us, "Do you guys know Kryon?" And we laughed and thought that hilarious because at Home we are not separate from each other the way you are pretending to be separate from each other. We said, "We think this is wonderful but we must share with you that there will come a time when you will pull away the veil and you will find out that you have all been talking to the same entities. You will find out that you have been talking to a portion of you." You are being well-guided through this journey as long as you learn to listen, as long as you learn to push those boundaries. Take each step, run it through your own filters. Just because we speak this is not an adequate reason for you to take this. Like new clothes, new ideas should be tried on first to see how they fit. We hope you play with it and we hope you adjust those pieces that fit for you and throw away the rest because there are no messages that will go out and reach every heart. Take what resonates with you and bring it in. You have been doing this with thoughts, belief systems and ideas. You will now begin to discern light. Light on your planet is changing. It is actually not changing – you are changing and you are starting to perceive a part of light that you have not seen before. You believe light to be photon particles that you receive from the sun or from your devices but we tell you, light in the human body is felt as love and you are about to feel this incredible wave and when you do, reach your hands out and hold each other’s hands. That is how you ground this energy. That is how you look in each other’s light and see your reflection as a creator being. Hold it proud, dear ones. We are so incredibly proud of you. You are the sons and the daughters of the king and you do not re-member your royal heritage but we do and you are in the right place at the right time. Dance with this light. Play with it. Reflect it first to see yourself then help the other gods awaken from the dream. That is called an empowered society and you are moving in that direction at the speed of love right now. Enjoy the ride.
 
It is with the greatest of honor that we ask you to treat each other with respect. You are looking in the eyes of god when you do. Nurture one another and open every door that you can for your fellow beings because you are helping the collective take the next step. Understand that you are playing a game and play well together.
 
Espavo.

Oakbridge University - Jeshua - Message of the Day
 
Beloved one, you have empathy; you know what another one is going through, because you have been there, you have done that. But you also know that you have come through it, and they are going to come through it. So you don’t have to stay in the place of, “Oh, poor Joe, poor Jane”—nothing poor about them; they are having a grand adventure.

SaLuSa: All coming changes were planned a long, long time ago
June 20, 2011
=======================================================
 
What you are doing as Lightworkers requires a good degree of faith, as it is not given to you to know the complete picture. Yet as a part of the mass consciousness you sense what is happening, and you know that all is well. Your Light is part of the greater Light upon Earth and it is helping to raise the vibrations, and so it will continue until the final upliftment. The speed with which it takes place will take you quickly towards the final experience. It is about to take off in a way that will soon attract the attention of people all over the world. That will make it necessary for Lightworkers to be even more active than they are now. There will be so many questions to answer, and in that respect we will also play our part. As soon as practical and we have been officially introduced to you, we can organize sessions where people can find the answers. Much will of course arise quite naturally as existing groups put themselves forward for that purpose.
 
Many souls are on Earth at this time, to specifically ensure that the coming period is instructive and that appropriate knowledge is available for those who are seeking. There will be world-wide publicity through various levels of the media, which will have been freed from the restrictions presently in place that prevent free speech. All of these coming changes are planned, and you may be sure that we have adequately covered your needs. Indeed the plans commenced a long, long time ago, as this cycle was always going to successfully end with Ascension.
 
The nightmare of duality is turning into the dream world where all is in perfect balance and harmony. Each in your own way is contributing to these changes, and you are to be congratulated in holding on to your vision associated with the end-times. Your part in all this is so important and do not underestimate the power that you hold. It was you who changed the balance between the dark and Light, and attracted the help of others off planet. In consequence you have been empowered to a degree that you now have legions of Light behind you. Bear this in mind and do not let the breakdown of your civilization bring fear into your lives. Changes have to come, and for you in such a low vibration it can have unpleasant effects on your life. These will not however last a lot longer, and knowing this should help you overcome any possible negative response to what happens.
 
From various sources the messages are streaming into your Earth, and you will know that they are full of encouragement and the promise of success. There has never been a time that we have not been present, and monitoring your progress. The Galactic Federation has long been charged with the responsibility to ensure that you are safe from outside interference. That has been done and continues right up to today, and in the past it was you who decided which visitors were allowed to visit you. In earlier civilizations we have in fact had periods of contact where we were really close to you, and spent quite some time working with you on Earth. It was when you reached higher levels of spiritual practice and understanding, and we enjoyed a special relationship with you. Your civilization has not reached the levels of previous occasions when you were ready to greet us. However, duality by its very nature is always moving in different directions, and the lower energies often follow a period of great spiritual learning.
 
The difference this time is that it is the end of a solar cycle, and a new beginning has been divinely ordained. Therefore every opportunity is being placed before you, so that each soul can make its final choice as to whether or not it desires to ascend. Many of you had decided even before you came into this incarnation, but many more were uncertain and preferred to make a late decision. As we see it, with our coming and the process of Ascension being explained, it will become easier for those who are in any doubt as to what to do. Ultimately those who still ponder their choice, will have it made for them on the basis that you cannot ascend unless your vibrations are suitable.
 
Over the recent period of time you have seen more, and more of our craft in your skies as part of our plan to allow you to become accustomed to us. Yet what you see is but a small fraction of the number of them actively moving around your Earth. Our craft are made invisible to your eyes so as not to overwhelm you, or cause people to become scared. Soon however, it will be safe for us to work openly amongst you and it will be tied in with disclosure. All of the time your dark Ones refuse to co-operate with us, we would normally wait until they recognize the futility of their actions. However, they are aware that we will not wait indefinitely, and at a certain point will be allowed to enforce their removal and put a stop to their interference. As time passes even quicker, the importance of moving on with our plan is becoming evident to us all. You may therefore be assured that action is about to commence.
 
In some ways it is perhaps better from your point of view that once the changes commence, that they go speeding along. After patiently waiting for quite a long time it will be very satisfying to see it all quickly happening. That way the degree of inconvenience to you will be minimized, and the benefits will come your way in rapid succession. Overcoming poverty and lack is our first priority, and we want to see people lifted up out of despair and desperation. Happy people will be more co-operative and know that our intentions are for the good of you all. To change conditions from what you have been used to and lift you up a level is no mean task, but we have all the resources prepared. The joy and happiness on your faces will do more for us than any other response. You are wonderful souls that deserve everything that is shortly to lift you up, out of the gloom and drudgery of your dimension. You will retain fond memories of times when your lives were enhanced, and relationships were happy. However, over many lives you have experienced hardships and sorrow that are best left behind. Eventually they will fall from your memory bank, and by then you will have risen up to the higher levels and live in the peace of Love and Light.
 
I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and hope you keep your heads up high and see how much your lives will change for the better. Of that you are assured, and the past will rapidly fade away as you step into the Light.
 
Thank you SaLuSa.
Mike Quinsey
 
I receive my messages from SaLuSa telepathically, he is speaking for the Galactic Federation. I have never had the advantage of being able to have a relationship where I can ask questions. I sit down at a specific time to make contact and then I get images or what I call 'packages" of images or words which I translate straight away onto the computer. Since March, 2004 I have been in contact with beings from the Galactic Federation.  *            

HEAVEN #3860
==========================
To What Are You Beholden?
June 20, 2011
==========================
 
God said:
 
To what are you beholden? Not to obligation. Obligation and responsibility are not the same thing. Joy is your responsibility. Love is your responsibility. Obligation doesn’t seem to carry joy. Obligation is a favor or an exchange. Obligation may be a bartering situation. Obligation is a loosely-written contract. Such contracts often have repercussions. Obligation isn’t generous. As a matter of fact, obligation stints. Obligation is a miser and does not come from the heart. Obligation is a weight. Duty and obligation are not generous words, and, when enacted, they are not giving acts. Duty and obligation can be considered skinflints.
 
Responsibility and heart ride together. Duty and obligation are more like grimaces or gritted teeth. May you be spared from those who would serve you from a sense of obligation. Free yourself and others from obligation.
 
Obligation comes from outside you. It is like a rule you’ve heard. Responsibility comes from inside you, and is, therefore, timely. Responsibility is your decision. It is not imposed upon you. You accept it.
 
A mother comforts her baby. That is the mother’s joy. And so she gives joy to her baby. The mother may not like being awakened at night, but she wants to nurse her baby more than she wants to sleep. She is responsible for her baby, and it is a responsibility that, by nature, she accepts. The mother blesses the baby, and the baby blesses the mother. It is not a trade. It is the will of both mother and baby.
 
Obligation is heavy-handed. Obligation may incur resentment. Obligation is simply not appreciated in the way that responsibility is. Obligation hangs heavily on your shoulders. Responsibility strengthens your shoulders. It makes you stand taller, straighter. Responsibility is not drudgery. Responsibility is an offering to the altar of life. It is not a formality. Obligation is a leech. Responsibility is an honor.
 
You may be a prisoner of obligation. Obligation is like being in a chain gang. There are fetters around your ankles.
 
Responsibility has no handcuffs. Responsibility is a free choice you make. You are responsible to yourself. Taking on responsibility is a gift to yourself, and it bears gifts to others. Being responsible is something you want to take care of. It is only a committed heart that reinforces responsibility. Responsibility is an embrace. Obligation is like a forced march.
 
There is a fine line between responsibility and obligation. Remember, you are responsible for yourself as well as to another. If you are to treat others as you treat yourself, make sure you treat yourself well. What you may do from a sense of obligation obligates another. When you feel obligated, you may well be obligating another, and then you start measuring and counting what you are owed. You may not want to do this, yet you do it. Give others their freedom, and keep your own freedom of choice intact.
 
When you obligate another, you deny them their freedom. You may become a dunning debt collector. Even when you don’t say a word about it, you are moiling over debts due you in your mind. You are adding up figures.
 
Be not an obligator, nor obligated be. Either way, obligation is not wholesome.
 
Responsibility on the other hand is wholesome. Responsibility is a lightweight. Obligation is a heavyweight. Responsibility is an opportunity. Obligation is a ball and chain. A sense of obligation has been thrown at you. Responsibility, on the other hand, is like carrying a torch at the Olympics. Responsibility is a winner who carries the torch and runs with it.
