I wrote this article for the upcoming fall issue of Rick and Beverly Thompson's channeled quarterly newsletter, The Gathering of Angels, available online at www.thegatheringofangels.com. Its messages are filled with love, and I highly recommend it!
As we head into fall and then approach another year, we may be feeling the tumultuousness of the past year’s events on a personal level. With so much change, on such a large scale, embodied in the energy of all that’s happening on this earth, we may have been brought through a series of change-points—those clearly demarcated shifts that tell us to move from where we live, to end relationships, to start new careers, and to begin again in small or not-so-small ways—on a most personal level.
As new light shines through us and increases its intensity, both higher energies and residual lower energies hidden in the interstitial spaces, the spaces between the components of our very cells, will be brought forth. And as a spectrum of energetic resonances emerges from each of us, our manifestations, whether in thought-form or physical form, will show us quite
clearly how we have been vibrating on different subjects, whether in the recent or distant past.
Right now for me, the key word in my mind, and a main message from Infinite Intelligence, is a simple and meaningful one: embrace. Embrace who you are, embrace where you are, and embrace the very nature of this life on the physical plane—along with your bravery and willingness to join in the adventure!
The promise behind this message is fascinating, for in embracing your life, you find your triumph! Contrary to what we may believe, our triumph doesn’t lie in the fleeting manifestations that we would call good or bad events in our life. It lies instead in our embrace of allowing energy to flow through us for the sake of bringing Source here to this plane (and, thus, shining outward through the Universe). In our embracing life, we rise to meet our Higher Self and our own divine view of all that we encounter. Our embrace of life lived, through the whole range of human emotions, gives us our transcendence.
And only in the transcendence of our embracing, do we understand God’s view of our world, our beings, our sacrifice to be here. Once we know this transcendent state personally, the miracle of transformation occurs: all that we would call “lower energy” here—sadness, difficulty, struggle, fearfulness, and more—is transmuted into love and joy and beauty, where all of us really live beyond our perception in this third dimension.
May we all embrace all that we are living and have lived! And may we all see and feel the beginning of a new understanding of this life on Earth appearing now above the horizon!
I send my joyful wishes for you today and everyday from my heart! Many blessings to us all, with love and light!

Swept Along by the Storm!
Sometimes the storm of life can be frightening and surreal, amazing in its power and a reminder of forces so much larger than we ourselves are. During a summer or fall lightning storm, we may take refuge on a porch or sitting just inside a window as we stare at the sky, catching our breath each time the sky lights up in fiery, electrical flashes. A childlike wonder it is, just like so much of what surrounds us in life.
And when those jolts of sky-whitening power happen close to us, we may jump back at the shock of the noise and power, but we marvel at the fact that those lightning bolts come so close, that they happen right here where we are! It’s still amazing even at this age, isn’t it?
And, of course, it is all happening right where we are! All of life does that, doesn’t it? And as we watch something as immense and as powerful as a lightning bolt crack across the sky right in front of us, we may think of ourselves as the observers. Sometimes that sense of separation between us and the awesome force of nature widens even further, until we feel like a victim, so much smaller than the powerful events around us.
But the magic of this scenario is that we really aren’t separate from the larger forces of events around us. We are truly, in our full essence, an integral part of everything that surrounds us, including something as fearsome as a lightning storm. And that idea—the idea of being one with the fullness of nature and all existence—is where the real electricity comes from!
How many of us get swept along by the currents of the storm around us? I, for one, am in a different town from my own this month, both helping someone and being helped. I wouldn’t have mapped this change out the same way if you’d asked me, and yet, somehow, I did all the same. The lightning that cracks across the sky carried me from one point to another somewhere in the distance. And I know there’s more of that coming!
The electrostatic charge is high, and the storm hasn’t dissipated yet. I know I will move along again, and maybe again after that. And I’ll settle into a nice, new equilibrium, when all of this excess energy around us has been transformed by that lightning bolt, by the power of potential energy, into a quiet, even calm.
What I do know, as I am moving along this lightning-bolt path of change in my own life, is that I am definitely not an observer—I am a participant, shaping and being shaped in this tumbling cascade of events.
What would cause such currents to strike out and slash across a quiet sky in the first place? Tension, an electrical imbalance of energy unused and waiting, asking to be moved. A tremendous firepower of will, an intent larger than just what our physical self observes, would precede such an event, whether here in our own lives, or in the power of nature and its awe-inspiring phenomena.
First comes the word, and then the light, in the act of creation. And in the ensuing rapid exchange of electrical charge that is energy moving, we do bring light into everything we do. As we shape our lives and the world around us, the light that we are creates a spectacular display that anyone who’s willing can appreciate.
And so I ask myself, “What can we do in times like these, especially if circumstances in our life seem to bring us rapidly to new, unforeseen places?” We can, here and now, give it up to God, to the Universe, to the angels we ask to help us, as we allow ourselves to fulfill our life’s purpose in the most magnificent, the most meaningful way possible.
As with a lightning bolt, the changes we are making now are so highly charged that they are alchemical in nature. The energy at its peak is transforming, as fire transmutes a substance at its base essence. Everything that we are going through now is change for the highest spiritual good. What wonders must await us, as the storm clears and frees us to enjoy a clear, new day!
I remind us all, lovingly, of this: embrace who we are, and that we are living, growing, learning beings. That is exactly why each of us is here, and it truly is the apex of human experience. Our transformation really can light up the entire sky, and bring us all to a new calm with more appreciation and understanding of ourselves and our world—as never before!
Blessings to everyone as we find ourselves anew!

Let Your Heart Show You the Way!
I hope each and every one of you are having a wonderful day, and I thank so many of you who took the time to write to me! It touches my heart to read your personal notes to me! As you read this, I hope you think of the people around you in your life, and that you take a moment to wish them a wonderful day, too! And if you have the opportunity to tell them in words, so much the better!
Undoubtedly, we all have felt the tumultuousness of the past year or so, whether in our own personal world or in the wider world around us. Many of us know why we are going through these phases, and what they are, but what we are called to do now with that knowing is to bring it to as many people as possible throughout the world. And the way to do that is through our hearts, with love!
What we, the world, are doing right now is entering a new age, a new age of expanded consciousness that makes its appearance throughout the writings of great religions and advanced civilizations everywhere. Evolution has always been a part of the process for our Earth and for us as people living here, as well as for every other living being here with us. We as people heartily agree to go along for the ride, growing and changing and coming into new and better ways of being. That's why we came here--even if it's easy to forget that as we feel the turmoil of rapid change and new developments.
What's happening right now on a global scale that is affecting everyone, is that the energy of the earth itself is shifting to a higher frequency--a faster, shorter wavelength that moves with great speed. And all of us, as physical beings who are also composed of energy, have to move with these rising currents into faster and faster vibrations of energy. As we naturally adjust to the higher energy, things will go smoothly in our lives, with the joyful and beautiful unfolding of new aspects of our lives that we've wanted to live, and with a deepening of what we have already loved in our lives.
As the energy rises faster than we adjust to it, though, we will experience the bumps and jolts of the changes, the jarring discomfort and sense of not knowing what is happening, and even fear or despair. And most of us, everywhere, are feeling some of these discomforts in any case--so I ask you to take heart, and to give yourself tremendous credit for joining in the adventure and living life to see what we can bring about!
Just as a person standing at the brink of the 20th century's developments, in their own personal life in their own home in 1900, wouldn't have been able to imagine life as we know it now, so are we now standing at the brink of another great leap in advancements in who we are and how we live in the coming century. And from our simple, personal perspective, we can't quite fathom all that lies ahead--nor are we supposed to. But we can acknowledge that something truly amazing is on the horizon, and that sometimes sudden, impactful shifts and changes are preparing us for new and fast-moving developments in our world. In knowing so, we can turn within and find comfort and peace where it begins, within the energy of the human heart.
And so it is that love is what gets us through these interesting and challenging times! And it is love that essentially binds us together to move into the future. Love itself, divine love, is the Source that surrounds the universe we know here. Love is the essence from which sound and light waves emanate, and it is what created us, what embraces us, and if we listen to its constant and quiet tones, what guides us through this life and welcomes us back to all of eternity when we are done.
Love is the high-frequency vibration of Home, outside our universe, the fastest and purest energy we can know. And love is exactly the companion, the feeling, the energy that adjusts us, as human beings, to the rising energy all around us.
Personally, love is what brings us home to ourselves, to what we truly know within, and love is the energy that unites us with the eternal energy that each of us are, whether we call it our soul, our higher self, our inner being.
Being love is what it means to remember who we truly are.
And so today, I ask you to tap into that not-so-hidden place in your heart, to listen closely to it, and to breathe slowly and deeply to expand it, so that you feel that perfect love for yourself. And as you think of anyone in particular or the world at large, think of them from that centered place of love in your own heart--and it will speed outward to reach many more people than any of us actually encounter!
I want you to know that as we each participate in this feeling, this emotion of love, we each adjust to the higher energies running through us and around us, and in so doing, we bring many others along into that higher energy, as well!
(A quick note to us all: Judgment, whether of self or of others, is the antithesis of love, and it's the quickest and most effective way to counter or block or change the energy of love. So now is the time to release that judgment, starting with ourselves, and to choose compassion, an empathetic quality of love, instead. This release itself will speed our own expansion into the true happiness that we all seek!)
And so, we all have a lot to learn about living this loving way of life--and we have a lot of practice to put into it! But the reward is immeasurable, and it will bring about a quality of life that few have known before. With so much that is new ahead in our own personal developments, our prospects are truly exciting! And with that thought, I open my heart and send that energy out to all, so that it is ever-present for anyone who wishes to receive it!
I hope that my words here reflect that very quality of love to you, and that they help you to shine!
Sending love and light to each of you personally from my heart!

Love Every Living Moment! or the Hologram & the Kaleidoscope
As we pass a holiday that celebrates love in its romantic form, we may remember the way in which we really want to live—a life that’s filled with love in every moment, with realization of the wonder and beauty of everything that surrounds us!
And as we remember that wonder and beauty of which every one of us is a part, we may remember who we really are, all of us who fill this planet, in all types of life forms—divine beauty itself, life breathed into form from love itself, through the word and thought.
How, we ask, do we keep this promise to live joyful, loving lives amongst one another? How do we fulfill our highest potential as spiritual beings on the physical plane? And, how on Earth do we do this when so much around us seems to be filled with negative happenings and fear and anger?
I’d like to remind us what the Buddhists and others teach, that each moment in life holds infinite possibilities—many more than we as humans are able to recognize, especially when we may be caught in the drama of life.
To help us remember the awe-inspiring beauty of this universe with as much joy as we intended, we can look at the wonders of the hologram and the kaleidoscope. Both show us in utter simplicity the organization of the universe in space and time, and both remind us of the playfulness inherent in this realm of ours!
We live in a holographic universe, an encoded image on the backdrop of the space-time continuum, that’s created by reflected light. And what we see as life, our perspective on it, depends on the angle at which we view it—whether we hold it unnaturally fixed in one, unmoving position, or whether we move through life allowing a fluid succession of its different elements to create a moving picture of breathtaking beauty!
In this model of our reality, the whole of life, the whole of creation in our universe, is contained within every part of itself. Which means that all light, all divinity, is contained within and reflected by each one of us. Each of us is infinitely connected to one another, every one of us an inseparable part of the whole. And so, all of us here are truly one.
Starting with this overview of an all-encompassing reality, we can then add to our model a vision of ourselves playing with a kaleidoscope—and the youthful delight that comes from doing so! This child’s toy gives us multiple reflections of tiny bits of colored glass, arranged and rearranged in ever-changing patterns—which interplay and change as we ourselves turn the tube, rotating it to find the pattern that we love the most!
We can think of the hologram as space, or physical reality, and the kaleidoscope as time, reflecting the fleeting, ever-changing nature of moving through this life. In a universe specially set up for each one of us in just this way, I can tell you that you are in control of your life. No matter what’s happening around you, you can choose the image and the pattern, the colors and the design, that you see as making up your life and the world around you!
Let joy lead you in your outlook on life, and you’ll find that joy itself can only take you to more joy. Answer with a wholehearted “Yes!” to the question of whether you want to play this game of life so you can enjoy it to the fullest. Look around with reverence, and ask for that joy to remind you that we are all playing the grandest of games, together, on this beautiful planet just made for love!
Blessings to everyone!
