Thanksgiving Message From Archangel Michael

Oh, God, when I have food
help me to remember the hungry;
When I have work, help me
to remember the jobless;
When I have a warm home,
help me to remember the homeless;
When I am without pain,
help me to remember those who suffer;
And remembering, help me
to destroy my complacency
and bestir my compassion.
Make me concerned enough
to help, by word and deed,
those who cry out
for what we take for granted.

Cynthia has been described this way: "Take the best therapist you have ever experienced along with an amazing healer and psychic - toss in some angels and some pretty interesting guides - and you get Cindy Shelton. Her ability to get right to the essence of you and your problems is awesome. She's one of a kind!" * www.cynthialeeshelton.com/ *

Our definition for Enlightenment is seeing your self as Light. It is “turning the lights on” in your life and in yourselves, so you see yourselves as Light. Enlightenment is not accomplished by seeking something other than your own Light. Enlightenment is seeing yourself for what you are -- and what you are is Love. Someone or something that is enlightened in this sense is someone or something that is fully aware of her, his, or its own divinity.

The Akashic Records can be of assistance with Enlightenment because they open the doorway to Enlightenment. They offer you information about yourselves so that you can see yourselves better, and so that you can see yourselves as Love. Imagine that you are an unusual human, one who was not born and raised here, but who just woke up one day and found yourself as a human being with two legs and two arms and a parent or two. If this were the case, you would likely start trying to figure out what you are. You would probably start asking some questions like, "What am I supposed to be doing with my legs, and where did these legs come from?" You would start with basic questions, and then move to more complicated questions like, "Why do I cry sometimes?” and “What does it mean when I have an emotion?" There is so much to learn about yourself when you imagine that you are brand new! If you were to apply this new vision to yourselves now, you would see yourselves far more clearly and accurately. The Akashic Records offer the answers to every question you have about yourself as an individual, and yourselves as the collective human race.

The metaphor of the imaginary person who suddenly arrived on the planet is useful because, as you move toward Enlightenment, you become unfamiliar to yourselves. Your old ways of doing things will not work the way they used to. This will occur to the point at which you might start driving to your place of work and you find that the old routes that have led you there in the past now lead you to the store! Some of you may recognize this in your own lives! You have to rethink, "How am I going to get to work?" and approach the situation anew. Other old ways of doing things will shift. For instance, a certain way you have communicated with your partner or your friend in the past may suddenly create a miscommunication. You will be led to rethink how you speak with this person, or how you listen to them, in order to communicate successfully. All of your old ways will need to be rewritten if you are going to turn the Light on, because everything is going to look different when you begin to see your own divinity. Some really fundamental things will begin to change.

You all have many habits that guide how you interact with each other that are based on an old idea that is held in some way by nearly every human being. This idea is that there is something wrong with you. Throughout history human beings been born, you grow up, and all of the other humans around you (with the best of intentions) convince you that there is something wrong with you. They say, “You’re hungry, but this is not the appropriate time to eat, so what your body is telling you is wrong.” Or, “You‘re crying and you must stop because this is the wrong place to cry." Eventually you become convinced that your natural instincts are incorrect and that there is something wrong with you. You think, “I’m hungry, but I shouldn't be hungry – my feeling must be wrong.” And then you carry that sense of “wrongness” around for your entire lives.

The wonderful thing about human beings is that you find very successful ways of communicating with each other and surviving in the world based on the belief that there is something wrong with you. You even find ways of thriving and growing and healing, and you have a wonderful time despite this distressing belief. But most of the habits that you develop, most of the ways you communicate, and most of the things you do with your bodies or to your bodies are fundamentally based in the idea that you are bad or that you are missing something. You are constantly trying to make up for this belief or to hide it, and this is quite exhausting.

The radical thing that changes when you go through Enlightenment is that as you begin to see your own divinity and to recognize that there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. We would have you pause here because it is such a profound recognition that must occur to grasp this. You begin to think things like, "There is nothing wrong with me! I'm hungry at midnight and it is wonderful!” or "I'm going to eat chocolate chip cookies for dinner, how perfect!" The process of Enlightenment involves recognizing that if you have a clear desire or a whim, it is likely rooted in something that is right for you and good, because goodness is what you are. And when you start to recognize this inherent goodness you are turning the Lights on and you are moving toward Enlightenment. Many people in the world now are doing this by accident and many are doing it intentionally, and either way works just fine.

You can think of yourself as that imaginary person who just appears in the world. In Enlightenment, you wake up in the morning and everything is new. You cannot base your expectations for the day on what previous days have looked like, because you are turning the lights on and, whether you like it or not, you will see things anew every day. Some days you might feel frustrated and say, "I just wish my old ways would work!" Other days, you will feel excited and free as you come to understand each moment as a new adventure. The Akashic Records can offer a huge amount of information about who you are and what you are doing here in this lifetime. They can also help you understand what others are doing and why people in your life behave the way they do. More than anything, the Akashic Records can offer you information that is grounded in the truth that you are completely good and completely made of Love. This perspective is different from a lot of the other sources of information about yourselves that you have had available before. This perspective is immensely helpful in the Enlightenment process.

The Akashic Records are an ethereal library, offering infinite information regarding every creation in the Universe. They hold an energetic imprint of a soul's journey from its inception until its return to Source. Every human being has access to their Akashic Records by divine birthright. There is a unique Akashic Record for every period of time, and the Records for the period can be accessed. As we approach each new month, the possibilities and probabilities of the month come into form, and can be understood as a general energy that each of us works with individually. The Akashic Transformations monthly channeling is offered to you by Jen Eramith in order to facilitate your own experiences as you move through the month. This Monthly Message Preview was channeled from the Akashic Records by Jen Eramith, M.A.

This day holds such deep rooted emotions for many of you. In the days of the Pilgrims in America, this was a great day of celebration and gratitiude. It was a day of sharing knowledge, wisdom, custom, love and friendship. May you remember the energy and true meaning of this day if you so choose to take part in Thanksgiving.

Can you imagine the healing that went on with these people? Taking into account that the Indians were threatened by the pilgrims and the pilgrims thought the Indians were their sworn enemy, can you imagine what it was for them to sit across from one another and break bread together? Not only to eat a meal, but to prepare it alongside one another.

These wonderful models of humanity may not have understood the ways of each other, but they held the great respect for each other's ways. No longer was the Indian a savage through the pilgrim's eyes, and the Indian no longer gazed upon the pilgrim thinking they were sent from some dense, dark underworld.

If you were to reach out this day and look through the love of your heart to gaze upon someone who is different than you, what will you see? And, Dear Ones, if you were to look through your heart and see yourself, what reflection would be gazing back at you?

As you go about your day today, and in the days to come, remind yourself of the great story of the first Thanksgiving. When you interact with each other and see the differences, celebrate and honor such things. Revel in the creation of those that are un-like you - see the unique beauty that is inside each living thing.

Beloved one, play with the imagination, how it feels to be at ease. You know so little of at-easement. You know dis-easement all around you, but do you know ease, how it feels to be easy, peaceful? You do when you take that deep breath. That is how it feels to be at ease. That is how it feels to be powerful in the Now, to understand the true power—not as the world speaks of power; that is temporal and passing and has many responsibilities and many untruths attached to it—but the true power of being and the true power of freedom and the true power of saying, “I can make this life as I want it to be, and for as long as I want it to be.”

Lambs of God, why are you baa-ing, as if you have lost your way? You are right where you are supposed to be. A lamb can only baa, but you, beloved, you can sing. You can make speeches. You can make many sounds from your mouth. And you can sing with all your heart. You have an unlimited range.

You are not lost in a meadow. Yet, you too, like a lamb, find yourself somewhere, and you are not sure about your bearings. Maybe you just woke up and seek companionship. Maybe you are sleepwalking in your search for companionship along the way. You crave to be an individual at the same time as you crave to be part of something. Maybe you just like to make sounds.

Of course, you already are both an individual and part of something. You are part of something grand. You are part of a unique experience on Earth. You are a wayfarer. You are a wayfarer using a compass you cannot see and cannot always set, and, yet, even so, you are on the right course. A perfect star is leading you. You don’t have to see the star in order to be led by it. You are following it. It is leading you.

You have heard it before. You are exactly in the right place at the right time. The space you occupy is yours. Where you stand is where you are supposed to stand. Where you sit is where you are supposed to sit. What you are doing is exactly what you are supposed to be doing. The only thing is that you can get up and stand somewhere else or sit somewhere else or move to another country, and you are still exactly where you are supposed to be. Which comes first? It is more than a door that comes first. You do, and I do. We come first. And you have heard that I am everywhere.

You can have a choice of two doors to open. It seems like a gamble. Yet whichever door you choose to open, it’s the right one. It may be the right one for a short time or a long time. It doesn’t matter. It’s the right one. Even if it’s the wrong one, it’s the right one. Pardon yourself.

If I am everywhere, how can you be somewhere where I am not? And if We are One together, what can the matter be? Oh, yes, in the world, plenty can be the matter, and, yet, from another view, all is light, and you are lighted up. Whatever circumstances may surround you, you are light, and you are the light of My heart. There is only one place you can be that makes a difference, and that is in My heart, and, in My heart, there is no difference. There is only light. There is only love between Us, and yet it is not between. There is only Us. We are the Truth of life, this mission you are on with Me, no matter how wayward you may seem to yourself.

And, yet, there is no place. You stand nowhere. You sit nowhere. You move nowhere. You are nowhere but in My heart. The lamb of God is in My heart. There is room for all. There is room for you, and yet no space whatsoever is needed. Love occupies no space. There is no space for it to occupy. If space did exist, love would still take no space at all.
