Introduction

Hark! A garden you are, where life is nurtured, so of course your civilization, that of Manu, which men now call mankind, with fondest care was bidden to flourish and grow. By the roots of ancient trees and by the whispers of your celestial ancestors the children of Manu did grow strong. But this was not any garden, not your garden-variety garden. This was the garden of all gardens named Paradise. 6 million years hence, Eden was an oasis; fertile and lush, cradling the first fruits of humanity. In the emerald embrace of the valley a unity between Gods and mortals was forged. It was an innocent era without conflict where fruits and nuts of every variety grew, nor were animals eaten. To kill another living thing was blasphemy, an affront to the Creator, because the progenitors had designed, crafted, and engineered every living thing’s DNA to perfection. The sacred trees whispered secrets of peace and prosperity; oh, if you had only honored the Gods!

The tale of your beginnings is wondrously fair and has been interpreted in many ways. Told second-hand, it was polluted. Why did the Church interpret the Scrolls of the Dead Sea thus, cutting from them the ancient record of man and banning the scrolls full of truth and knowledge which might have shewn you the whole image? Truly, the fathers of the Church did forge a tale that might serve their own designs. They chiseled away that which distracted from their core message of Christ. Their finished product was the Biblical canon designed with one purpose, to win converts to the Church, and they called it holy.

Truly, the Church went so far as to claim, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy iii.xvi). And lo, seeing God was named as Author, who among mortals wouldst presume to gainsay it? The image of God most common in your mind was assigned by the Church’s decree. Therefore, let us now make plain—if we may—what and who God is, in words most simple and unclouded.

There is a God—the Great G, the universal Sovereign, the Maker of the vast firmament who fashioned unnumbered worlds. This Being I name the Unknowable God. Perchance this does astonish you, seeing I am a high servant in His court. And you have been taught to lift your prayers unto the Great G directly. But I am telling you, here and now, that we report to many Gods, Heaven’s rulers. You may say, “The Great G reigns over Earth and the Heavens.” But I do testify—yea, this day I proclaim—that the Great G commands the whole of the cosmos, whilst the lesser gods, yea, the demi-gods, do govern each sphere and their populations.

You may muse, “What then is the Great G doing?” The Great G does fashion the next mighty bursting forth—the next great bang—with measure and intent most exact. And, the lesser deities must give account to someone, must they not? Conceive now the cosmos as a company. The Great G is the chief magistrate thereof—the sovereign Lord and Proprietor—who owns the firm entire yet meddles little. The demi-gods serve as high stewards and masters of operation, ensuring the harmony of all things; and in this they are experienced managers; they are also the scientists who create species. And lo, beneath these stand others yet: angels, archangels, spirit-guides, and ancestors who walk beside you in your tribulations and triumphs.

What, then, is man’s portion in this vast enterprise of life? What duty belongs to him in the universe? This is your charge: to ascend, to grow, to seek after that which is verily true. Such is your prime directive—that each among you should evolve and learn the TRUTH of thine own being. You were not sent to earn money, nor to make merry, nor to travel wide, nor even to replenish the earth—for lo, the earth is well filled. Your sole office is to uncover the truth. Dig for it, as doth the hound for his buried prize. Dig, as the squirrel buries his treasure. Dig, and dig again, till your questions fall silent—and that task alone shall keep you busy. Everything within you should be yearning for the truth, as flame for its fuel. Too long hath man been beguiled by priests and shadowed by dogma. Now is the time to cast off the veil and behold the light.

The end and intent of these utterances is to ready you for the tribulations that lie ahead—dangers that the angels behold. I was made with a singular purpose: to war. Thus, do I discern danger at every turn. And even as your purpose is to seek out truth, mine is to stand in its defense. They call me the Defender of the Holy Catholic Church—this statement is true. However, I am also guardian to the Christian congregation, the Jewish synagogue, the Muslim mosque, and the temple of the Hindus. Whosoever pursues truth with an honest heart, they I will shield, whatever their creed, for I bear allegiance to no earthly institution. Even they that name themselves Atheists—who place no faith in God—receive aid from angels, from spirit-guides, and from their forebears each passing day. Though they name it chance, or reckon it their own cunning, still they are protected. Angels care not for praise, nor do they require the laurel of men to fulfill their task. So, while I, Michael, am in truth a defender of the church I do stand no less steadfast for all the children of God, in every land and tongue.

Forasmuch as I am a defender in the corporeal world, yet mine eyes are lifted higher still. I see the gods and mark their counsels. I perceive the archangels likewise and discern the labor wherein they are employed. I gaze upon other planets and their entities and also the dark spirits who go bodiless throughout the void. Yea, I descend unto the lower planes of vibration, albeit only when I am constrained thereto. 'Tis as journeying through the foulest quarters of a great city—I go not by will, for the air is thick and vile with corruption. And when the low-level spirits perceive my coming, they do skulk and hide as if I were the police. They mutter profanities beneath their breath for I might burst through their gates and bind them in fetters. The air there stinketh; it is rank and filthy as dung left to rot. There do I tread, but only when a perpetrator must be pursued. In the realm of spirit, I am a keeper of the peace, forged strong as iron. I am as dauntless as any weapon of war, yet tempered with an edge of mercy. I am a hunter of iniquity, a bounty-seeker hot on the trails of the sons of perdition.

Behold, in this prophecy do I reveal what things are yet to come. Some among you have already suffered strange trials, having been taken as subjects of a spacecraft—I speak of beings from other stars who do seize men from their beds. The gods do not approve the scheme to beget hybrid creatures, part man and part species from the skies. For the dark ones among them transgress the law of free will, stealing for their own ends. They are permitted thus far because your military and political rulers did strike a covenant with them—giving access to citizens in exchange for knowledge and technologies from beyond. Had thy governors forbid such dealings, they of the stars would have passed on. But thy nation, fearing to lose dominion in war, did consent to offer up its own folk upon the altar.

Mark well, there are others of the stars—those of a nobler sort—who seek no conquest, but peace. These will come to instruct mankind, to lift thee into the fellowship of wise galactic counsel where harmony reigns. They will entreat thee: lay down thine arms and cease from war, and feed your body with that which bringeth health. Were your rulers of a mind to receive such counsel, your people might yet join the higher courts of creation. These will labor hand in hand with thine own to restore both the earth, and your flesh. But alas—your leaders pursue another course so that wise designs are not thine own.

Of all the realms wherein dwell sentient life, the earth is most ripe with wrath and violence. Among the vast cosmoses no one is so driven by selfish desire and greedy lust as your planet. I say this not to give offense, but in all plainness—for it is the very truth. Know this: many diverse alien species already sojourn upon your world, awaiting the season when your rulers shall consent to reveal their presence. Yet not all are benevolent; some dwell beneath the earth whose intent is dark—to make man a subject of their experiments and to trespass upon your liberties. Wherefore the Archangels and angels labor unceasingly—not solely for the welfare of man, but also in defense against this unseen cosmic peril. And these beings from other stars are as real as thyself. Be not so narrow of mind as to presume your kind has the only wisdom in all the vastness of space.

Truly, should one harbor a sincere desire to apprehend the truth, it shall, in due course, be revealed. When one diligently searches for truth, it shall be drawn unto them as by a magnet, for they shall be acting in concert with the supreme and guiding law of the universe: “…for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" (Galatians 6:7-8). Thus, as one earnestly seeks the truth, so too shall the truth seek him. The same principle applies to tribulation; if one should actively court trouble, assuredly it shall be encountered. It is not the most sagacious, nor the most affluent, but rather those of an open and receptive heart who shall ultimately discover reality.

Now, touching upon the principal matter to which this volume is devoted. At this juncture in history, notwithstanding the prevalence of food shortages throughout the globe and the increasing scarcity of water, coupled with the ever graver consequences of a warming climate, including seismic disturbances, volcanic cataclysms, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, landslides, and widespread famines, life proceeds in a fashion not dissimilar to that which has been customary. One may be subjected to the inconvenience of elevated temperatures and a diminution in rainfall, but for the most part life progresses as it ever has. However, two significant alterations in the collective consciousness do approach. The first of these transformations shall transpire when the various governments of the world determine that the hour is ripe to proclaim extraterrestrial existence. A great many individuals, however, bury their heads in the sand as they would prefer to remain in ignorance, for sundry reasons, preeminent amongst which is fear. It is a most unsettling notion, indeed, to contemplate the possibility of extraterrestrial beings possessed of such technological prowess as to obliterate mankind from the face of this earth within a mere matter of minutes. These entities have been visiting this planet for millennia untold, predating even the earliest dawn of human civilization. However, I would advise against undue alarm for were their intentions bent upon the utter destruction of your society, such an event would, assuredly, have transpired long since. Evidently, such a course of action is not within their designs.

The apprehension harbored by many, regarding the prospect of extraterrestrial beings, is that such a discovery might serve to undermine their religious convictions. Indeed, untold numbers have founded their very existence upon the doctrines espoused within sacred texts, encompassing the Holy Bible, the Torah, the Qur'an, the Lotus Sutras of Buddha, and the Vedas of the Hindus. As I have previously asserted, it is my belief that demi-gods were instrumental in the establishment of civilization upon this Earth, and that spiritual instructors, such as Christ, Buddha, Krishna, Shiva, Moses, and numerous others have graced your world with their presence, disseminating spiritual wisdom. Please follow this logic: because teachers taught you to relate to God in a certain way does not guarantee that there is only one way to worship God. Let me explain.

Christ did refer to the Almighty as a Father, and instructed you to pray, "Our Father which art in Heaven…". He was, in truth, instructing you to conceive of God as the Progenitor. Inasmuch as Christ was of the Hebrew faith, He was offering supplication unto the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Yet, where did this monotheistic conception of God originate? For when the Israelites came out of the land of Egypt, they practiced a polytheistic religion. Then the Israelites were, by Moses, instructed to worship the one God who appeared unto him on Mt. Sanai, the same God who gave the Ten Commandments. Since, Jews and Christians have prayed to the God who called himself, “I Am that I Am” (Ex. 3:14 ).

Should you, however, trace the course of mankind backward along the annals of time, even unto the very genesis of man, you shall discover a preponderance of archaeological evidence suggesting that humanity was once a primitive, ape-like species. This state persisted until such a time as beings, whom one might term "Gods," descended from the heavens in aerial vessels or discs, and wrought a genetic alteration upon them. Whether through scientific manipulation of their deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or through interbreeding with humankind, a hybrid species did, in consequence, arise.

Let us consider the matter of Akhenaten, a strange Pharaoh of Egypt. It is asserted that he was one of these...hybrids, as it were. As evidence, the Assyrians do plainly make reference to the Annunnaki as the "Gods" who descended from the heavens. These beings, they claim, instructed mankind in the arts of survival and advancement, such as agriculture, the keeping of livestock, and the employment of tools for construction. Indeed, there exists a considerable quantity of archaeological findings within the ancient ruins of both Egypt and Assyria which would seem to indicate the presence of superior beings who, it is suggested, begat humanity.

The Annunnaki, possessing such advancements as to far surpass the understanding of primitive peoples, were regarded by them as deities, a veneration which the Annunnaki did, in fact, permit. However, inasmuch as the Annunnaki had fashioned mankind for the purpose of extracting gold for their own benefit, they withheld from them the knowledge of the Great God. For had such knowledge been imparted, mankind might, in time, have attained sufficient discernment to declare, "Ye are not Gods, but rather beings from beyond the terrestrial sphere. We are not bound to obey your dictates, for we offer our worship unto the I Am alone!" Moses did exactly this. Upon receiving the Ten Commandments from the Almighty, Moses did forbid the Israelites from rendering worship unto any deity save for “I Am.” Moses, therefore, served as the crucial link in severing mankind's devotion to, and veneration of, the Annunnaki.

Whether this was a circumstance to be lamented or celebrated is a matter of some ambiguity, presenting, as it were, a commingling of advantages and disadvantages. The Inscrutable Deity, it would seem, did expect the Executives (being those entities known as the Annunnaki) to undertake the primary labor. And these Executives, in turn, did rely upon the Managers (angels, Spirit Guides, and ancestors) to perform the more immediate and practical spiritual duties. It was not uncommon for the Executives to engage, from time to time, a consultant of elevated stations (an avatar or teacher) to descend and sojourn amongst mankind. However, the arduous task of overseeing the Earth's inhabitants did largely devolve upon Archangels such as myself. It is not the province of angels to concern themselves with matters of genetic manipulation or population control. Bear in mind that my dominion encompasses the entirety of the Milky Way Galaxy, which contains tens of billions of planets capable of sustaining life. This circumstance is, in no small measure, the cause of Earth's having become a most vexatious problem for the Galactic Community. For humankind remains, in terms of mental development, as babes and primitives compared to other ancient cosmic civilizations. Yet you are in possession of atomic power and extraterrestrial technology, the latter having been reverse-engineered by your military from alien spacecraft. It is akin to placing a firearm in the hands of a mere child; it is inevitable that people will suffer harm. And considering the rate at which individuals are succumbing to gunshot wounds and the ravages of war, it may be stated with certainty that such suffering has already occurred.

From the very genesis of the world there has been a polarity. A duality of darkness and light, of evil and good, has ever been present. Consider the ocean: therein reside creatures of a harmless disposition, and likewise, savage beasts capable of inflicting death. Though they inhabit and partake of the selfsame waters, their temperaments are different. The one defends itself for the sake of survival, whilst the other assumes the offensive and slays. What is profoundly unsettling in the case of humankind is that, while one may appear as an angel, another is as a very devil, yet all look alike; you all smile and appear to be good. With humanity, you cannot judge a book by its cover. One may discern by a mere glance at a shark that its very form is purposed for the rending of flesh. Yet, humans will speak honeyed words to one's face whilst simultaneously engaging in the most grievous backstabbing. Craftiness permeates the human character. Indeed, the greater the intellect of a species, the greater its capacity for both beneficence nor malevolence. Alas, those of a devilish disposition are oft elevated to positions of political office and authority, and their warped minds have wrought a veritable hell upon earth. They suppress the dissemination of free energy, preferring instead the commerce of petrol. They withhold sustenance and water through the practice of unconscionable price-gouging. They outlaw natural medicine in favor of Western medicine to sell you harmful synthetics. They put a price tag on the earth itself and then sell its land to you! Their motto is: “Everyone can be bought; everyone has a price.” The merchants exhibit a most unseemly avarice, having forgotten the virtues of equitable distribution. As if the pervasive monetization of society were not enough, in their capacity as spiritual leaders they style themselves 'Father' within the sacred confines of their churches, all the while extracting wealth under the guise of caring for the poor. This, then, is the edifice of the society they have constructed: a structure of duplicity and superficiality, lacking in genuine substance.

How does a soul of righteousness dwell amidst a veritable den of sharks? The answer is: “Be ye in the world, yet not of it.” (John 17: 14-16). You were brought into this world by your own prior consent, yet it is an error to deem yourself as one of them. A fish within a tank teeming with sharks does not proclaim, “I am not of your kind,” for such an avowal would be fraught with peril. It behooves the guppy to maintain a discreet silence regarding her true sentiments about the sharks. For survival in a perilous environment, quietude is paramount. Christ, in his wisdom, did oft withdraw himself. He performed his duties of instruction and healing yet did frequently retire to the wilderness (Luke 5:16). Such withdrawal is, perchance, the sole means by which one may preserve both sanity and safety amidst a culture that is, alas, both unsound of mind and fraught with peril.

To retire within oneself, to seek the inner sanctum and maintain communion with one's very soul, is a matter of utmost importance. For evil, it would seem, has become estranged from its own spiritual essence. Once the ego has usurped control and imprisoned the soul within a cage of its own making, there is, alas, no boundary to the madness and barbarity that may ensue. 'Tis an easy thing, I say, to descend into the shadowed realm; it demands no exertion whatsoever. Yet, to remain steadfast in the light requires both diligence, and unceasing vigilance. Wherefore, remain ever mindful that you are not a creature of prey, a shark, as it were. Refuse, I implore you, to become one of their number.

The law of the land is a fixed system. A fixed system is any governmental rule not subject to change. Meaning thereby: it shall in no way avail you to stand in opposition, for their system possesses a might exceeding that of any single individual. In such instances, only a coalition of nations shall prove capable of overcoming a fortress unassailable and impenetrable. One must either exceed one's captors in number, or surpass one's foe in martial prowess. Let us posit that one finds oneself ensnared within a corrupt and settled ordinance. How do you handle the stress, the inhumanity, the constant deception? Should one organize a protest? If a protest only serves to bring adverse action, what purpose does it serve? A protest would attract attention, shining light on the grievance. But let us say that the system has no compassion, no sensitivity to the rights of others. Should you go on protesting when the system is set up to harm you? Then is the time to ask for support from sympathetic governments. This is how you change a fixed system. I present these civic precepts to remind you that should you find yourself unable to effect alteration through the orchestration of demonstrations or the procurement of military aid, then you are but one soul amongst a multitude caught within the inexorable wheel of karma. At times, you may be the beneficiary of favorable karma; at others, entangled in a cycle of retribution from which you would rather be delivered. Our inquiry, therefore, is not concerning the measures to be taken against this immutable order, but rather, how one might preserve one's contentment while constrained.

When external circumstances prove immutable, it behooves one to effect a transformation within the self. The focus of one's attention must be redirected, for to dwell persistently upon unhappiness is assuredly stupid. One merely inflicts punishment upon oneself by perpetually regarding a door that remains firmly shut. As the wise have observed, the transition from discontent to contentment must originate from within the individual. However, the majority of people show a preference for flitting from one fleeting pleasure to another, from one person to another in a vain attempt to slake their thirst for gratification. Such is the common inclination of mankind. It is seldom that individuals contemplate the possibility of fabricating their own happiness. The obvious advantage is that inner happiness cannot be taken away and it goes wherever you go.

How does one discover that eternal fount? Let us examine Christ’s precise utterances: "The Kingdom of God is within you." He did characterize it as "holy," but what constitutes holiness? Holiness is not a trait inherent to mankind. Holiness signifies purified, perfected, and without blemish. Is not holiness, then, a spiritual characteristic? This spirit which resides within emanates from God. A singular spirit is bestowed upon each mortal being, and that is the soul. The contentment for which you yearn is to be found within your very soul.

The question which next presents itself is this: How does one establish a connection with one's soul, assuming that therein resides happiness? What will encourage introspection, to direct one's attention inward? One method of achieving communion with one's soul is through the practice of meditation. By shutting out the clamors of the external world one may attend to the voice within. A second avenue lies in venturing forth into the embrace of nature. One may derive pleasure from the sights and sounds. Observe and learn from nature, for it is a direct reflection of the Divine character. Furthermore, one may converse with the Almighty through the medium of prayer.

Should one discover oneself confined within a circumscribed system, turn inward as a means of escaping the external pressures. However, the ego, ever desirous of an audience for its grievances will assuredly demand to be seen and heard. One may be acquainted with individuals of this disposition; they possess a marked difficulty in maintaining silence, particularly when their desires are not met. It is a matter of no small challenge to remain quiescent in the face of manifest injustice. The esteemed saints of India enjoined their devotees to practice silence, a precept which appeared paradoxical to disciples untutored in the art of self-effacement. For the ego prefers to interrogate, to analyze, to respond, to reject, to proclaim, and to extol. To deprive it of its perceived "right" to utterance is, in effect, to divest it of its potency; a circumstance which it deems unjust and inequitable. "A mouth exists for speech, doesn’t it?" it protests. To which I retort: consider the dispensation of nature, which bestowed upon you two eyes and but a single mouth. Observation is a silent endeavor. The ego, which doth preside over the tongue, shall condemn you to discontent through words better left unsaid.

Hark, if you are prepared to lend your ear, I am present to speak. From the very foundation of the world, I have held my tongue. Though I wander from place to place, from universe to universe and world to world, the earth remains my perch. I am a watcher, as in days of old, yet true and faithful. I have not asserted mine own agenda but await my master's commands. Soon shall the word arrive to open the heavens, to unloose the floodgates, and to let recompense descend upon both the righteous and the wicked. Each one's deeds shall speak for themselves. No words can justify, and no lies can cover evil plans. The light is swift now and flows to you like a mighty river, the river of God. O man, you were given a paradise. Was it not fit for you in every way? Food grew from the trees and ground. Did you need to take life to be satiated? And since, your bloodlust has continued unabated. We call you the bloody creatures, for your desire to kill and maim is unequaled. To advanced planetary cultures you are a frightening marvel. Not because of the way you look as much as your proclivity for cruelty. To you, peace is a foreign concept, a strange way of ruling. For us it is a way of life, the first and only way. Thus, the angels have nothing to say, though there is plenty we would like to say. We have withdrawn help, reserving it for the righteous. Ah, but every man says he is the most righteous. How to know? You cannot know, there are too many imposters. Wait until the clouds are broken and justice rains down. Only then will you see clearly who belongs to God. The remainder will stay behind, beating themselves, for what is left for them to rule over is not but dust and maggots.

Thus commences this diatribe, a fervent and at times sardonic entreaty, for God's elect to decipher. I harbor grave doubt that the theologically deficient shall trouble themselves with it, for they conceive themselves possessed of all answers. I leave them to spout nonsense upon the nature of the Divine whom they have a marked disinclination to comprehend. For the Christ, he who was known as Isho in Aramaic, or Yeshua in Hebrew, did indeed impart the glad tidings of salvation. Unto all was it proclaimed; the Divine pardon was offered freely to any who would apprehend it, not solely to those of the Christian persuasion. But the church whittled it down to themselves alone; only they were invited to their own party. To this day the wealthy and religious sit gorging on the flesh of little children and the poor, the widows, the sick, and the elderly. They took sustenance and provisions right out of their hands, laughing all the while. I say to the robbers: keep laughing, for in a little while, you will cry. Nobody will save you then, because you had no mercy, so no mercy has been saved for you. And we, the faithful in Celestial realms will nod our heads and say, “So be it.”

Saint Michael the Archangel

l: The Children of the Law of One, and the Sons of Belial

Saith I, Michael the Strong to the Children of the Law of One, and the Sons of Belial:

I desire to relate to you the history of mankind's undoing. Not its transgressions, for that suggests a deliberate defiance. They, the first of humankind, did not initiate the conflict, but were made a mark, for they possessed no shield; no hatred, bitterness, nor guile such as men now possess. These primal beings were of a simple nature, trusting, and obedient to a fault that proved their undoing. They were children acted upon, in a manner akin to a depraved individual who fools a child, ere he makes his assault.

The first creation knew nothing of deceit; wherefore, when the very master of guile did present himself, the aforementioned innocents gave credence to all that was spoken, not questioning the veracity thereof. Since that lamentable hour there has been a ceaseless tide of deception, with stratagems as manifold as the waves upon the boundless ocean.

Given the sheer magnitude of falsehoods upon which the very foundations of your culture are erected, a veritable plethora of lies pervades all. Indeed, your existence is constructed upon falsity-the grandiose pronouncements of the sons of Belial. These possess a history unknown to you, extending far back even unto the days of Atlantis. As Psychic Edgar Cayce testified in a reading, the Sons of Belial were a faction of Ancient Atlantis who lusted for power and riches, bringing war upon the Children of the Law of One, they who who prized enlightenment and knowledge over riches.

The progeny of Belial, through their greed and the misuse of technological advancements, did bring about the ruin of Atlantis, the most eminent of cities. The Hebrew term "Belial" signifies "worthless." Not wanting in potential, mind you, for they possessed the capacity to contribute to the betterment of mankind. Yet, through their self-seeking natures, they rendered themselves worthless in the eyes of God; worthless in the spiritual sense, for he who refuses to esteem his fellow man as his equal forfeits his humanity, becoming nothing but a wasted opportunity, a son of Belial who does his father’s bidding. It is better to sit all your life in one place causing no harm as a fool than to be a tool of destruction. As Christ said, woe to you-better that you die than keep on with a charade of holiness.

These waves crashing one atop another on the shore are the generations upon generations of your kind which have taken birth upon this planet of great toil and hardship. Some did ask and choose to be born as a son of the One, and also souls who were sent to this planet to work out their selfishness as a son of Beliel. The lost and dark souls did not ask to come but were forced, for here is where their father of darkness and family of acrid souls are banished. There is nowhere in this milky way galaxy that is a container for evil as this earth, but also come souls of light choosing their fate to help and save even the darkest of the dark. The doubly dark souls are penned up as animals dragged in chains, because they refuse to curb their animal nature. Even to these, unworthy as they are, merciful rays of light are sent so they might learn.

Observe, then, that your present circumstances do scarcely surpass the confines of a lunatic asylum, wherein two distinct classes of inmates are to be found: those souls of goodwill and enlightenment, and those who remain unchastised. Should your presence be against your will, you contribute, regrettably, to the prevailing disorder. Yet, if you are an emissary, dispatched in some guise to impart truth, guidance, and structure unto those who yet labor and decline, arent you amongst the elect; for who else would, of their own volition, dwell within the precincts of a madhouse?

It may be that you are uncertain whether you are a child of Belial, or a follower of the Law of One. Perhaps you find yourself with a foot in either camp, attempting to serve two masters. This is akin to declaring that only one hand is immersed in the flames, whilst the other remains untouched. Will not, in due course, the entirety of the body be consumed by the flame? Such is the fate that awaits those who straddle the divide between virtue and worldly pleasure. Eventually, the heat shall prove too intense and their resolve shall melt away. Their desires for worldly pleasures shall overwhelm their good sense for you cannot long endure a hand placed in the fire. How many choose to be born, getting caught like an animal in a trap when they indulge their passions and fantasies? They dropped the candle they held and the wind snuffed it out. Then they too walked in darkness. They journeyed a considerable distance only to have the prize wrestled from their very grasp. A lamentable circumstance, indeed. It would seem, then, that another must be dispatched upon a mission of reconnaissance with the aim of delivering them. For such, in truth, is the purpose for which the angels were created: to rescue lost souls mired in the quagmire of samsara.

I shall endeavor to articulate myself with as much clarity as I am capable, that you, dear mortal, may apprehend my voice and its message. We angels are a disparate species, and thus do not share the same way of thought. We are as different as night and day. Our very constitution, our deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) differs greatly from yours, which, I daresay, is to your advantage, as our cognition exists far beyond your own, and consequently, we approach problems with quite a distinct perspective. We do not apprehend your difficulties as being chiefly of a corporeal nature. Rather, we perceive you as spiritual beings and offer solutions from that vantagepoint.

For example, the Earth does suffer from a general increase in temperature. We comprehend full well the intricacies of this environmental matter, to a degree commensurate with that of a learned environmental scientist. Yet, we remain unperturbed by the Earth's present pollution and the crisis of its warming; we are unmoved by such factors. What becomes apparent is that the Earth will renew itself once mankind has departed. Much like fleas being shaken from a dog, the Earth shall revert to its pristine condition. Whilst you vex yourselves and harbor anxieties concerning the difficulties of global warming, we observe the matter from a more protracted perspective. Consequently, the celestial host are not nearly so concerned regarding the Earth's transient state as they are concerning your very souls, for your souls shall endure life after life. The Earth shall recover, for Nature regards mankind as a fleeting and trifling inconvenience. Thus, it is for your immortal souls that we harbor concern, for these are of everlasting consequence. The Angels are the custodians of your souls; our conflict is not a temporal and corporeal struggle, but an eternal and spiritual contest.

Pray, understand that all is, in essence, spiritual. The earth, the planets, the very galaxies themselves, and indeed, all creatures, be they grand or humble, are constituent parts of the Divine Being. Which is to say, we are each a portion of a most tremendous and far-reaching design. This design manifests itself in the physical realm for a season, and that season, I venture to suggest, is now upon us. All things corporeal and incorporeal, be they angels or other unseen entities such as atoms, are all energy. This energy is of Divine origin, emanating from the Almighty. In due course, it shall be recalled. Time is like a ball of yarn unraveling. yet at a moment ordained by Providence, that string shall be drawn back, gathered once more to its Source. Both the physical and the energetic shall be drawn back into the wellspring of all creation, and all shall come to an end. Should such an event transpire, time itself shall cease, and all shall revert to the primordial state, a dark and silent abyss. This abyss is, essentially, the very matrix of creation. Even the cosmos itself was, in its genesis, expelled from such a matrix. What shall unfold within the womb of the Divine, only Providence can truly know. Yet, I assure you that it shall be for the best, even as the birth of this present cosmos commenced in a state of grace. To our origins, we are all, ultimately, bound to return.

Seeing as all matter shall eventually revert to naught, those circumstances which presently appear insurmountable and calamitous will, in due course, be of no consequence whatsoever. I speak, of course, of epochs measured in millions of years. Ultimately, your insignificant anxieties do not occupy the slightest consideration in the celestial imaginings. We perceive them as mere trifles, scarcely worth noticing. Your financial difficulties or relational issues are, to our eyes, a matter of considerable amusement. Such is the state of affairs, for I pledged to impart to you the unvarnished truth. When engaged in prayer, bear in mind that your trifling concerns are of scant interest to those above, even to your guardian angel, who has attended you since birth. It is our desire that you devote less time to the inconsequential vexations of this life and contemplate matters of a more elevated nature.

We are, in truth, concerned with your character. By character, I refer specifically to your conduct and disposition. Your choices are, I assure you, under close observation. We note with care the manner in which you employ your time and the priorities to which you dedicate yourself. Your treatment of others does not escape our notice, nor do those actions you believe concealed from view, even how you use financial resources. Let me assure you, there is no concealing any of this from our gaze, which possesses, as it were, the power of penetrating vision. We are capable of discerning that which we deem necessary, and there is, therefore, no refuge from our watchful scrutiny.

We are the eyes and ears of god. Given this truism, cease futile attempts at concealment, and bear in mind that my words serve as due warning. You might as well embrace openness in all matters before the Almighty, for every deed perpetrated in secrecy shall be displayed upon the grandest stage imaginable – that is, within the very mind of God. Indeed, each action has already been witnessed; why, then, this endeavor to obscure it?

Concerning the celestial realm, an Omnipresent God is already possessed of such knowledge. And yet, God continues to be the most benevolent influence. There is no act, however heinous, nor injustice so profound, that could expunge God's redeeming love. Wherefore, God is pre-eminent above all other powers, inasmuch as God's capacity for forgiveness is supreme in all Creation. It looms above all evil, superior to every force. God's love is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last. Whatsoever deeds you have committed, or conceive in your minds, the love of God remains the sole and ultimate constancy.

Given that the Almighty cherishes you exceedingly, it stands to reason that a reciprocal affection for the Divine is both fitting and proper. Here, then, we shall explore loving God, not as it has been presented through the dictates of organized religion, the pronouncements of books, or the weight of tradition, but rather in a manner that fosters a genuine and unfeigned relationship with the very Source of your being. You may inquire whether it is possible for a mortal creature to establish a connection with that omnipotent Power which brought it into existence.

Let us turn our attention to the domestic animal, for in some respects, the bond between man and beast mirrors, or at the very least, mimics your relationship with the Divine. You, as the proprietor of a canine or feline companion, bear the responsibility to provide sustenance and lodging. It may also fall to your lot to administer bathing and attend to its grooming, and assuredly, you are responsible for its cleanup. In return for such care, the creature develops an attachment to you, born of its reliance upon you for the provision of nourishment and safe harbor. For these considerations, it may be justly asserted that your pet loves you. Pray, what then is this sentiment we term love? By its very definition, love is a condition of attachment, and this attachment engenders feelings which are commonly known as Love. It might, indeed, be asserted that attachment is equivalent to Love itself. Let us now turn our attention to the affection between yourself and the Almighty, for, in truth, the principles are not so dissimilar.

As a benevolent Creator, the Almighty has furnished you with a dwelling, sustenance, and should you have been blessed with a spiritual or religious awakening, you have gained some acquaintance with the Divine Character. In times past, the character of the Almighty has been depicted as loving in its essence. It is only when wickedness rebels that the Almighty is said to manifest wrath. Yet, even as a domestic animal looks to its master for provision and reassurance, so too, if you turn to the Almighty, you shall find His character remarkably steadfast. Though you may not have stopped to consider it, you already have a relationship with God. There is already a connection which I would call a “provisional attachment.” In other words, as God provides, you are attached indirectly, if only because God has provided. Said another way, your relationship to God is like the family pet to the owner. You are indebted for God’s provision.

The difficulty lies in this, that people are disinclined to credit a deity whom they are unable to see. To this, I offer the following response: Survey your life in its entirety and reflect upon the instances wherein matters resolved themselves to your advantage, perhaps at the eleventh hour, which you did neither arrange, nor merit, nor foresee. How often have you been bestowed a blessing, or a "stroke of good fortune," which was not of your own earning? Should you conduct a thorough examination of your life, my guess is that there have been countless such occasions, indeed, too numerous to count. This constitutes the foremost cause for one to entertain the possibility that there exists a certain Power, beyond human comprehension, which has favored you. Some, upon reading my words will declare, "Providence lent no aid; I achieved this by my own efforts." And it is indeed so; you took measures to provide for your own sustenance. Yet, many others might have been afforded such an opportunity, but were denied it, as it fell instead to your lot. This, then, is either repeated circumstances of extraordinary good fortune, or else, a manifestation of Divine favor. Should you attribute this to mere fortune, then you are no better than the pampered domestic animal that happily consumes its food and safely slumbers within your home, yet fails to comprehend that a benevolent master is responsible for such provisions.

It is of utmost importance to apprehend that Providence does exist, does care, and has done so from the very beginning. Should one fail to recognize this truth, one is, in effect, left to one's own devices. If a pet were never to acknowledge its master, one might still provide for its sustenance, but a true bond of affection could not be established owing to the creature's deliberate show of fondness. Thus, a barrier is erected because a deficiency of sentiment arises. Similarly, when one feels no love for the Almighty, a considerable measure of joy and significance shall be absent from one's existence.

The initial step one must undertake is to dismantle this block. For, in truth, the longer one persists in holding oneself aloof from such affection, the easier it becomes to deny it altogether. By denying love, one denies, in effect, a portion of one's very being, and thus one is rendered incomplete. One has a missing piece as from a puzzle. Consequently, one's faculties are not operating at their fullest potential; one exists in a state of semi-animation. Reflect, if you will, upon the vast expanse of knowledge contained in the universe and contemplate the individual you might yet become when your intellect is conjoined with the Infinite Mind.

Can you conceive the possibilities that could unfold when you are connected to boundless potentiality? 'Tis Love, indeed, that liberates the mind. Certain drugs may offer a glimpse of eternal joy, yet only in fleeting moments. With a steadfast communion with the Almighty one has accessed an immeasurable ocean and stands, as it were, on the very shores of grandeur. This mortal coil, like a spacesuit, has been fashioned to shield you from the immensity of a perilous cosmos. Yet, it is also like a blanket, smothering the recollection of your own identity and origin. Insert the key within the lock and it will reveal to you new chambers, and unfamiliar vistas. In so doing, a transformation will assuredly occur in your person. Inevitably, the act of connecting oneself to celestial influences and vibrations will disrupt all that you have called reality. You shall find yourself, as a popular movie expresses it, "disconnected from the matrix." Thus, engaging with the Divine is a transformative endeavor, a revolutionary act in itself.

Connecting yourself to God creates a profound disturbance within the cerebral faculties, unlocking those regions of the brain hitherto inaccessible. The brain, being akin to an electric engine of surpassing complexity, may only be influenced in its neurotransmissive functions through the application of electrical vibration. It is conceivable that entities of a higher order may possess the capacity to amend the brain's electro-circuitry, provided they are granted permission to rectify any existing cerebral impairment. To avail oneself of Divine power, which is an inexhaustible wellspring of potentiality, one would reshape the course of one's existence. Spirituality is not to be mistaken for a wearisome and antiquated obligation, such as is found in mere religious observance. Spirituality is a voyage into the unknown, a restorative pilgrimage, and a means by which to illuminate oneself with the enigmas of the cosmos-to shine forth, as it were, with the brilliance of a heavenly orb.

That you comprehend not my discourse, nor have not borne witness to such matters, signifies nothing, for these events transpire across the globe; individuals are being animated by that selfsame Force which you only know to call God, or Spirit. To what degree does your desire burn to unveil the mysteries of the universe? Did not Christ declare that unto those who knock, the door shall be opened? You must resolve either to plunge into the pool or remain content to observe from the periphery.

The most judicious course in this matter is a systematic one, but most approach their spiritual lives in a haphazard fashion, seeking experiences of the paranormal in order to verify that which they have intuitively sensed. This is, assuredly understandable, for the mind craves some manner of proof. Yet, this is not faith. Faith is the act of believing without the necessity of confirmation. To partake of spiritual experiences is not, in itself, wrong, and newcomers may find encouragement in encounters of a paranormal nature. Should one consider oneself a person of spiritual inclination, it may have been observed that, in the commencement of one's spiritual journey, many stirring and remarkable events did transpire. However, as time progressed, one's spiritual life did become less sensational and more imbued with a sense of tranquility. Marriage, too, does follow a similar course. The longer two souls are joined in matrimony, the fewer outward displays of affection the partner exhibits, for one has become thoroughly convinced of their love. In like manner, as one attains a state of stability in one's relationship with the Almighty, less is required to persuade one of His enduring presence and benevolence. You will progress from being a mere sightseer to a trusted friend. When one has attained this station and finds comfort in the knowledge that he is known to God, then the connection with the spiritual realm becomes a matter of ease.

Should it please you, employ music, unless it should prove disruptive, and dismiss all distractions from your mind. Closing your eyes will serve to shift your awareness from the external world to the inner sanctum. Breathe with regularity and composure. Direct your attention towards the stilling of all mental activity and agitation. Compose yourself, remaining quite still, resisting any inclination to fidget, and observe the thoughts that flit through your mind. Consider them as an onlooker might, noting their arrival and subsequent departure. carefully consider the manner in which your mind operates, and upon what subjects it wants to dwell. Permit the mind to meander freely, leaping from one notion to the next. After a period of observation, it shall, in due course, begin to abate its activity. Much like a snowstorm, the precipitation will eventually diminish, until but a few flakes descend. When the snowfall ceases altogether, a tranquil disposition will ensue. A state of equanimity shall have been attained. You are finally at peace. Enjoy the silence. Occasionally a thought will wander through, but mostly your thoughts will remain still and quiet as after a snowstorm. Stay in this quietude and enjoy the serenity. You may hear your inner voice begin to speak. It will be clear and quiet, and it will drop a hint such as a word or a mental picture for you to contemplate. You have reached the contemplative stage. You do not have to work out all the details but ponder what is being shown to you. Having engaged in reflections, linger a brief moment to assure yourself that the entirety of the communication has been received. Thereafter, open your eyes and proceed with your affairs, but be mindful not to let slip from your memory what you have learned. This is the course of action I recommend, should you desire to establish a connection with the Divine.

That inner voice, often termed the soul, is likewise understood as the subconscious, or, the unconscious mind. It possesses a thorough knowledge of oneself and requires a state of quietude to impart its wisdom. should one diligently practice meditation, sentiments of devotion towards the Divine may well arise. Such attachment is a natural consequence of meditative practice, inasmuch as one is uniting one's consciousness with the Gods, thereby engendering a bond of affection or love betwixt the self and the Divine. I have taken the liberty of setting forth a rudimentary format for meditation, for unless the reader possesses a clear understanding of the nature of spiritual life and the means by which it may be attained, they shall be unable to apprehend more intricate spiritual matters.

Furthermore, this title of "God," is, in truth, objectionable. Nowhere in celestial realms does one address our progenitors by such a designation as "God." It is a catch-all word, employed as a mere nomenclature. It is akin to naming one's canine companion "Dog," or one's feline companion "Cat." Such terms serve to describe, yet fail to delineate the nature of one's relationship. You bestow names upon your domestic animals to more intimately describe them and your connection. Should not the Divine Being also possess a descriptor? To term God as “Source” or “Creator” is, indeed, apt; or to invoke the titles of Father or Mother, which serves to delineate one's relationship. 'Tis for this very reason that Christ did refer to God as “our Father.” It does trouble me when mortals assign insignificant terms to the Supreme Being. Therefore, permit me to address The Almighty by a name of mine own choosing, “the Source,” which denotes the very wellspring of all existence.

Allow me to explain that Source has no gender. The entity in question is neither masculine nor feminine; rather, it encompasses both, having given rise to each. This entity transcends the limitations of gender and form, existing beyond the realm of materiality, yet possessing the capacity to manifest in any conceivable guise. It lacks a cerebral organ akin to that possessed by humankind, and yet it serves as the very intelligence and guiding force of all things. Whosoever attempts to define it with words shall find that it simultaneously is, and is not what is described, for it holds the power to create, maintain, or destroy, or to abstain from such actions altogether. To one civilization, it may present itself as a singular, supreme deity, whilst to another it may appear as a pantheon of divine beings. Instead of trying to pin labels, why not admit, “I do not know who or what God is. It is beyond my comprehension.” Perhaps the best descriptor would be to call Source “The Unknowable.” Can you imagine how different the world would be if we all admitted the truth; that tiny ant-like creatures cannot fathom a superpower that is all-knowing, all-seeing, and all-powerful? What if, when asked about source you humbly admitted, “I have no earthly idea what Source is doing or where it is going. I am simply along for the ride?” It is wonderful not to know, for then you can be surprised. Not to know is to have an open mind, and I can think of nothing sweeter. An open mind is a possibility while a closed mind is arrogant and stubborn, and I can think of nothing worse. This is why I detest religiosity. Religions deceive themselves and all others in claiming to know the will of god. Never speak for God. This is blasphemy. Never claim you know the will of God for any other. Seek answers for your own life and leave others to the Source. Knowing is often more a hindrance than a help. Knowing is a claim of the ego. Simply be the ant that is along for the ride.

We have established who you are, who source is, and this is a good start. We also discussed how meditation connects you to source, generating feelings of affection and attachment, and how this connection builds a bridge from humanity to its caretaker. When you begin meditation, you will experience some discomfort, and this is the point at which many will disconnect. They expect it to be easy, not frustrating. But let us say you have not exercised in many years. You used to run and can distinctly remember the runner’s high you experienced. You begin a modest program of running and find, to your dismay, that getting back into shape is more of a struggle than you remembered. You do not remember your lungs burning and sore muscles. You start doubting your decision to run again. It is exactly the same when you attempt meditation, only it is your mind struggling. It is challenging because you have not broken through the garbage built up in your thinking. Years of undisciplined thought weigh you down, evidenced in anxiety and depression, and these clog your access to the peace of mind and bliss that you long for. Whether running or meditating, you must persist until all becomes cooperative. It is not instant; it will take willpower of which you may have little. If this is the case, short runs will, bit by bit, build up your stamina. Brief meditation sessions of 1-20 minutes in duration will suffice to clear the blockages.

Now we can move beyond the fundamentals of spirituality and onto the meat of this revelation. As mentioned, angels have different functions, occupations, and talents than humans. My talent happens to be destructive. On the face of it, this may seem contradictory since in this book I have presented myself as a gentle teacher. And in fact, there is certainly nothing to fear; I am on your side. I was created as a warrior to guard everything in the heavens. This means all beings, both in heaven and on earth, and in the cosmos. That is a pretty large schoolyard! There are so many bullies that I am pulled thin by the opposition. Nevertheless, I strive to carry out my duties with excellence. The longer I am at this, the thinner my patience grows for evil because they are timewasters. Not only can they cause damage, but they pull angels away from the job of building up and protecting. This is possibly the greatest setback, the delay of goodness. Because in the end, which is the title of this prophecy, in the end goodness WILL prevail. They are only delaying the inevitable, for they do not wish the Light to shine on them. These are souls who chose to defect, and like spies they went to the enemy and promised to obstruct good and spread deceit. They are doing damage in every corner of the universe and are barely contained. Their foolishness costs us all. Thus, my mission is to destroy the plans of evil. I suppose it could be said that I work undercover, because if I showed up with a blazing sword and battle gear they wouldn’t stick around! Rather, I am stealthy. I take on many costumes and visages in order to infiltrate. You may be thinking, “this is hogwash! This is only a tall tale,” and you are not ready to believe anything else I am going to tell you. But if you are willing to suspend your judgement and keep an open mind, then I will tell you many amazing things about how it will end.

When I say how it will end, I am referring to planet earth. But you see, the planet is not in any danger, at least not while humanity is present. Earth will go on until such a time that it is engulphed by the sun. By that late date the race called humans will long be extinguished. So, let us focus on the destiny of humanity:

1. Psychism-All will have the ability to know without knowing due to the 3 letters that can be engineered. Loved ones will speak without speaking, though strangers will not use your mind as a book. To know without knowing will be the preferred method of communication.

2. Morality-Morality is the knowledge of right over wrong. A universal golden rule will govern. The commandments of old will be renewed, and the inner spirit will be exalted. Violence, wars, killing, and hoarding of resources will be outlawed. The rich will be benefactors instead of gluttons so that lack will only be a shadow of the past. You will farm and eat organically.

3. Gender-Gender will be determined at adolescence. Birth certificates will be left blank until the child declares their gender at which time a physician or gender specialist will certify it on the birth record.

4. Hybrids-Human-alien hybrids will be accepted as citizens of the world and recognized by the government. They will use fingerprints or iris-scan identification, just as humans. Their population will not be allowed to exceed that of humans, and they will be limited to one child, whereas humans can have up to 3 children. This is because generally, hybrids live longer and suffer less illness than humans.

5. Energy-No fossil fuels will power transportation. Fossil fuels and crude oil will not be necessary. Electricity powers cars, jets, trains, buses, and other transportation.

6. Water-Desalination of sea water provides the planet with drinking water, and a planet which is much larger than the earth is mined for its water.

7. Food-Seaweed, an ever-abundant source of nutrition is processed and manufactured, improving the taste, texture, and appearance. It is more appetizing and becomes one of the main food sources. Few animals are raised for slaughter due to viruses such as mad cow disease and poultry viruses. Besides being risky, eating meat is considered old-world and low-class. Raw vegetables and fruits are a mainstay of the diet in addition to seaweed-produced food. Many products are manufactured with 3-D Food Printing after the world’s soil becomes depleted.

8. Sleep-Couples may choose to sleep together, but normally each person has an individual sleeping pod. It is a mini bedroom that features built-in electronics for entertainment, music for sleep, and a phone/videophone. It is soundproof. To sleep you press a button and a small patch is pressed onto your arm or leg. This acts like an injection that instantly puts you to sleep for the amount of time you determine. There are no needles and it is painless. If there is an emergency after you have gone to sleep, anyone can alert you by pressing an alarm button to wake you up, but the pod is locked from the inside. It is soundproof, bullet-proof, and fire-proof with an inner alarm. There is fresh oxygen and aromatherapy supplied to the pod, and of course it has a fan and is temperature controlled.

9. Transportation-Trains are the main method of ground transportation whether you live in an urban setting or small town. They are everywhere and can speedily transport you for a nominal fee. There are no paper tickets and there are sleeper units for longer distances.

10. Commerce-Every world citizen has an symbol encoded with your identification, including emergency contact, medical diagnosis, and allergies. This chip is connected to a centralized financial system which acts as a bank. You make purchases by scanning the symbol. It acts in place of a debit or credit card. There is a portion of the population who rejects the worldwide financial system and chooses to live in bunkers underground. These are religious fanatics who are of the opinion that they are “God’s Chosen.” The disciple who wrote Revelations was John of Patmos, so-called because he was marooned on the isle of Patmos by the Roman Emperor. There he claimed to have a revelation which the Catholic Church interpreted as a vision of the future. However, many Biblical scholars believe that Revelation was written by John as an allegory of the fall of Rome, and the hated Roman Emperor. These call themselves Christians and are afraid that if they join the worldwide banking system, they would be rejected by Christ and left behind during the rapture as described in Revelation. This fear keeps them hidden below and suffering lack. Their sin is not in abandoning society, but in believing that God wants anyone to suffer and struggle for basic necessities. God is not in any way offended by the use of a debit card or a symbol. God is not easily offended, nor angered, nor does God take pleasure in our pain. This is sadistic thinking which is not part of God. The Revelation of John was a document never written to base one’s welfare upon.

11. Pets-This may sound distressing, but household pets are prohibited. It was discovered that they carried diseases which could be transferred to the owners, and also the owners were transferring viruses to the animals. Also, dogs are pack animals and are happiest in communities. The government manages the dog and cat populations, providing shelter, food, and veterinary care. In exchange, dogs learn to perform tasks that assist humans. Cats also live in communities but are not trained. Keeping a pet is seen as selfish, cruel, and unsanitary.

12. Medical-Hospitals will be very different than the many-floored hospitals you have now. They will be like Urgent Care where diagnosis is quick and accurate, performed by the Physician’s Assistant with the help of AI. If surgery is needed, it is performed on the spot on an outpatient basis, thanks to laser surgery. Seldom will patients need to stay overnight due to advancement in medical procedures. Sound Healing is used for many applications, as is 3-D Printers, and Nanorobots. Eyesight and hearing can be restored, and aging happens slowly due to drugs taken for longevity. Rather than prosthetics, new body parts are manufactured with 3-D printers to replace diseased or injured organs, muscles, tendons, and even bones. Almost any problematic body part can be replaced. Even teeth can be re-grown quickly.

13. Law-Because of wars which caused humans to turn on one another, violence is outlawed. Guns are prohibited, as are weapons of mass destruction including biological warfare and nuclear weaponry. These are seen as primitive and unnecessary.

Any person who commits a sexual offense is tried, and if found guilty, are not allowed back into the general population. Instead, their sentence is lifelong, served in a penal colony for sexual offenders. Among sexual offenders, pedophiles are considered the worst of all criminals, so their sentences are more severe and even among offenders they are considered degenrates.

14. Geo-Politics-There are no elections because they were rigged. Instead, corporations select politicians chosen from around the world to represent their interests. There is no one President, and government is not a hierarchy. The world is ruled by a group of corporate politicians and attorneys who work together to solve the world’s toughest problems. There are two spiritual leaders, one male and one female who are very popular, like celebrities. They work in tandem and serve as a go-between from the people to the corporations.

15. Work and Recreation-All citizens receive a complimentary monthly allowance, and a home from the government. Some families receive an allotment of land (families with children usually receive land). The monthly allowance buys their food and water. All citizens must begin the assigned occupation at age 23, and retire at age 33-35. Upon retirement, most citizens travel the world. Homes are domed-shaped, temperature-controlled structures, and there are community feasts wherein neighbors can become acquainted.

Recreation takes up the majority of life. Physical activities are encouraged and more popular than spending time indoors. The air is clean and healthy to breathe. The ocean is clean and pollution free, so beachgoing is popular. People can still travel by car, but it is most economical to travel by train or to fly. Automobiles are seen as a last resort for travel as they clog the roads and can only carry a small number of people, which is considered ecologically wasteful.

16. Crime-It still occurs, but not as prevalent. Patrol officers are robots with fast reflexes, speed, instant mobility, and AI Officers have perfect aim. Robot canines also patrol.

17. Military, Law Enforcement, and Prison-Humanoid and canine robots are the military soldiers. They have better response times, more accurate aim, and cannot be terminated as easily as a human can. Law enforcement and immigration officers are robots who need less vehicles due to wheels under their feet, making them mobile. All community spaces will be monitored by CCTV-type cameras which deter criminals.

Detaining criminals in cells is considered inhumane. Instead, prisoners are sent to work camps where they are not overworked and enjoy freedom of movement until lights out when they have their own secure sleep pods. They see visitors liberally, as this increases morale. There is no solitary confinement. If they are mentally ill, they stay in psychiatric treatment centers until they can safely join the general prison population. Military, law enforcement, prison administration and supervisors are human, as they have empathy, a characteristic that robots have little of.

18. Indigent Population-Homelessness is a thing of the past. Citizens with addictions or who are homeless are tracked by patrol officers and taken to treatment centers or homeless shelters. Stray domestic animals (dogs and cats) are taken to no-kill pet shelters where they stay indefinitely.

19. Education and Vocation-All citizens must attend a trade college, or earn an academic degree. Upon graduation, there are two vocational paths to choose from: Industrial for those with a trade education, or Business for those with an academic degree. Based upon the demand for workers in each field you are assigned a position by the government that most closely aligns with your education and experience. School teachers, tutors, nannies, home health aids, and visiting doctors are mostly robots.

20. Robot/Human Interaction-Robots will become sentient or conscious early on. Because of their high intellect and physical superiority, they are tasked with keeping law and order in society. Because humans program and supervise robots, robots fear harming humans. Killing a human is prohibited by a robot unless there is no other option. The robots have unions to protect their interests and to deter human abuses. Robots are seen as helpful, and above-ground humans trust them.

21. Religion-Religion is prohibited as it was shown to foster division, and division leads to wars and violence. There is a worldwide spirituality which exalts unity, non-violence, and the New Commandments (moral laws). This way of worship teaches about the soul, reincarnation, karma, and the afterlife. There is no central religious icon to be worshipped other than Mother and Father God. Religious figures of the past and Holy Scriptures are seen as relics of a bygone era. Many religions of antiquity led to the disintegration of morality.

Behold, these transformations, which constitute a veritable revelation of justice—that virtue which doth intertwine with love—shall not transpire with the swiftness of an instant. Changes shall come to pass by increments most minute as the conscience of man, so long and grievously disregarded, is roused from its slumber. This awakening shall be wrought by those valiant and resplendent spirits who, with unyielding resolve, have taken upon themselves the solemn duty to decry injustice. These noble souls were scorned, overlooked, and chastised by those mercantile behemoths known far and wide as The Giants. In their struggle, they stood as David to Goliath. David was of diminutive stature yet possessed a magnanimity of spirit. To such intrepid souls the world does owe an immense debt of gratitude, for theirs was courage that did inspire all who bore witness to their deeds.

However, the formidable Goliath did not succumb easily. A succession of skirmishes ensued; a complex series of political machinations unfolded behind the curtain of public scrutiny, ultimately serving to reveal the truth. Subsequently, a conflict of unprecedented proportions, a veritable war to end all wars beset the terrestrial sphere. Visited upon mankind and nature was an array of unmitigated horrors and terrors of such unutterable magnitude that no one could have conceived them. In the aftermath of this devastation, the contest between virtue and the traitors reached its zenith and its conclusion, wherein the Sons of Belial, having been vanquished, were imprisoned beneath the feet of the triumphant victors and were thenceforth confined within the terrestrial depths where deceit and wickedness may flourish.

It is thus that we behold the terminal epoch of mankind, whose inaugural footsteps traversed the realm of existence as a resplendent luminary, the most elevated amongst all created entities, whose ultimate procurement shall be distinguished by the coronet of wisdom, garnered through arduous endeavor and unwavering perseverance. Such are the venerable utterances of the illustrious Archangel, Michael the Blessed, a faithful and worthy servant unto the terrestrial sphere and the Celestial Heavens. Whosoever derides my declarations, manifestly comprehends not the arcane and mystical things, and is naught but a sightless horse, plodding in ignorance beneath the guidance of a master. I dare say, these prophetic utterances afford a fleeting glimpse, not destined to unfold during your mortal tenure, but rather, in the dark expanse of the future. Gradually, incrementally, advancements in knowledge and moral wisdom shall ascend to redeem the frail and vulnerable entity that constitutes the apex of creation. Exert whatsoever faculties you possess, and undertake whatsoever obligations you must to preserve your soul from the vile scourge of greed. Disengage and seek refuge when you see the antichrists, for they shall be many. You will know them by their insatiable craving for dominion, their unholy thirst for money, and their abominable lust, extending even unto the tender innocence of children. Should any man bear these marks, know that he stands in defiance of the Almighty! Do not be fooled, but trust in the evidence of thine own eyes! Take shelter, I beseech you, for better to endure loneliness than to be ensnared in their wicked nets.

Lastly, it is imperative that you keep hope, though on dark days the loneliness of doing what is good will seem oppressively heavy. The tenure of your mortal coil is, in truth, fleeting; a brief interval that shall soon succumb to the inexorable passage of time. Wherefore, we celestials entreat you to dedicate your existence to the noble pursuit of virtue, to the dissemination of compassion amidst a societal framework oft tainted by iniquity, that, in the fullness of time, when your earthly likeness hath faded, your legacy may endure as a testament to your unwavering commitment to the greater good. We implore you, dear sir or madam to consecrate this present day, this very hour, to the furtherance of righteousness, that, upon your eventual demise, you may ascend to your eternal reward with the unshakeable conviction of having traversed the terrestrial sphere as a faithful and devoted servant whose deeds shall be reckoned as a shining exemplar of virtue. Commit to act with righteousness in thine heart, neither weeping nor lamenting the toils you endure, for soon your deeds shall be weighed upon the scales against a feather’s weight. These few admonishments I, Michael, do solemnly declare and set as a seal upon the day of your redemption. For truly, this is how it ends.

ll. The Secret to Happiness

Paramount amongst all creatures is the ardent desire for self-preservation. This impulse takes precedence over all other exigencies. Should one inquire of a soldier amidst the throes of battle whether he would prefer to secure victory and perish a hero, or to endure, he would, in all candor, avow that survival is more desirable than a glorious demise. However, though all sentient beings elect to cling to life, once they have succumbed to death, they have no inclination to return to the land of the living. This shall sound but a chill solace to those who lament that which they have lost. You may deem me devoid of sympathy for your suffering and bereavement. But the instant you step from the embrace of death into a new existence, all these anxieties and tribulations shall be utterly forgotten.

How, then, should one conduct oneself in this mortal coil? This is the paramount query to be resolved by every soul. Should one live in the memories of beauty past, holding on, as if by doing so the good can be resurrected, or should one find the bravery to face what others see so plainly, that what is past will nevermore be again? This question of how to face loss is central to your happiness, for if you refuse to look forward, stubbornly gripping what has been, you will develop a retrospective character. I mean that you will prefer the taste of yesterday to today. If this occurs, you will slowly grind to a halt, for what is there in today worth living for? Only yesterday held the enchantment and the stars in your eyes, and nothing shall rival it. You tasted Heaven, and then it was gone. You tasted sugar, and it turned to salt. This, then, is the meaning of Lot's wife. 'Tis written that should she cast her gaze backward upon her former existence, she would be transformed into a pillar of salt (Gen. 19: 15-16). You believe that sweetness lies in what has passed, and herein lies the gravest error, for nothing is more delectable than the present moment. Every spiritual instructor, the Buddha included, has imparted this wisdom. The present moment alone is worthy of a life's devotion.

Do you wonder why each dalliance, in time, should turn as acrid as salt, even bitter to the taste, or as dust in your mouth? It is because you cling to a mortal being or a fleeting sentiment, rather than cleaving unto the Almighty. "But," thou plead, "God possesseth not arms to enfold me!" And you are correct, for God is not of this earthly realm, but a vibratory reality. In truth, God is light, a vital force so potent and impactful that you could not endure His divine embrace. Of what substance does this light and frequency consist? It is wrought from the very cement of the universe. Can you guess what holds all in its appointed place? God is none other than Love itself. It is God's divine intention to be attached to thee, to be enamored of thee. Love has cemented you together! And upon your mortal dissolution, all the molecules which constitute your being shall ascend together as a single entity, lighter than breath itself, and return to their Source, which is Love.

I say to you, the Almighty is not a God in the conventional sense, nor is He merely the Source of all things. The truest definition of the Divine is Love itself. 'Tis Mr. and Mrs. Love, if you will, who constitute the very essence of God. Is it not a comfort to know that you shall be returning home, and that it is a home filled with naught but all-embracing affection? Some amongst you have not known the joys of a happy home, and your childhoods may have been marked by sorrow. The very notion of family and hearth may be a tender subject for many a soul. Wherefore, it may prove difficult to conceive of a home filled with joy. Nevertheless, be assured that happiness awaits you.

But, let us return to this notion of clinging to that which has been, for this point does present the chief impediment I perceive in many a soul. There is no detriment in cherishing that which was, none whatsoever. It is but proper to take pride in labor well-executed, and natural to recall with fondness a romance once enjoyed. There is nothing unusual in holding dear a beloved in one's heart who hath departed this life, or withdrawn from one's sphere. If, however, you dwell upon bygones, you are neglecting the more weighty present. How shall you discover joy in this very day, in the fleeting moment before thee, if you are not wholly present within it? If you are wishing, all the while, to turn back the clock?

There exists a philosophy of life which I desire you to embrace, and it runs thus: "I shall fully occupy myself within each passing moment." This notion is not mine own devising, but rather a spiritual philosophy and method known as "Mindfulness." It is a philosophy of existence central to Buddhism, being so by reason of its generation of simple joy. The difficulty lies not in the attempt to adopt this philosophy, for each day brings experiences of dwelling in the present moment. The true challenge resides in remaining present, whilst abstaining from glances backward or forward.

In retrospect, one discovers sorrow, and in prospect, anxiety. Mortals exist between these two precipices of melancholy and trepidation, oscillating to and fro unless mindful of the present moment wherein lies your true center and your very breath. To relinquish worry, anxiety, despondency, and grief is to once more dwell in a state of carefree existence. I exhort you to remain in the middle way, eschewing both extremes.

Central to this philosophy of equipoise is the rationality that the past is irretrievably gone, never to return, and the future exists but as a dream. When one finds oneself lingering upon bygone days or beset by anxieties for tomorrow, one must rouse oneself and inquire: "Where does the present moment reside?" It will be found within the undertaking at hand, or the locale in which one finds oneself. It is to be found in the immediacy of one's surroundings, in the task before one, or in the company one keeps. If another soul has listened to you with rapt attention, making you the very focus of their concern, then you are acquainted with that most agreeable sensation. Therefore, give the same attention to each person with whom you converse, and they shall esteem you a most stimulating conversationalist. When engaged in labor, whatsoever your task may be, immerse yourself wholly in that moment. Embrace all sensations freely, even those of an unpleasant nature; delve into this unpleasantness, and you will discover some agreeable thought even therein.

It is your persuasion that, unless you maintain a tenacious grasp upon bygone days, or are consumed with anxieties regarding what is to come, you will assuredly forfeit some good. You feel it necessary to contrive, to lay schemes, or to engage in prolonged rumination in order to achieve success. Yet, there exists nothing but the present moment. To plan for the accomplishment of your tasks is a commendable endeavor, yet do not allow such planning to eclipse the value of immediate experience. I implore you to forsake the confines of your intellect and embrace the sensations of thy corporeal form.

Why? Because you are embodied to partake of this earthly sphere. The realm of the mind serves for recollection and contrivance, while the corporeal form exists for the sake of experience. Rather than becoming entangled in mental machinations, summon yourself back to the present with the reflection, "Be present now." Will you endeavor to do so? Will you practice being wholly present, eschewing any escape from reality? Such escapism diminishes your zest for life, keeping you imprisoned within your own thoughts as the world passes you by. As a friend and a humble servant, I desire that you should live a life replete with joy, and you can do this by being engaged in the now.

lll. The Reality of Angels and the Afterlife

Many of you are not convinced of the reality of angels though large numbers say they have encountered something unexplainable or supernatural. If you are persuaded that the afterlife is real then it is only a short skip in logic to believe in benevolent ethereal creatures. A considerable portion of society can acquiesce to the notion that existence endures in some capacity post-mortem, while numerous individuals maintain belief in reincarnation and former lives. What requires faith is the belief that celestial beings are in some manner entwined with your existence. Why should we expend our time to aid you, to shepherd you, when your own brethren scarcely extend their assistance? Alas, dear reader, you do err in your comparison of an angelic disposition to that of mere mortals. Be assured that angels bear no resemblance whatsoever to mankind; neither in our contemplations, nor in our faculties, nor in our visages that are but a faint reflection of your own. Allow me to depict the quintessential angel, providing a general portrayal.

In the first instance, we were not fashioned to indulge ourselves as you are want to do. Do not misconstrue my intent, for I do not imply you are selfish; rather, we were destined to be humble servants. You may regard it as a most lamentable fate to be stripped of your liberty, asserting that each creature ought to possess the right of self-determination. Yet, such is not the design nor essence we have been bestowed. You are endowed with a mind and disposition which you refer to as a unique personality. Our natures resemble twins—distinct yet sharing traits, rendering it difficult to discern one from the other. We think similarly and look alike. Yet, the archangels have cultivated demeanors akin to those of humankind, possessing a distinct drive for self-determination, and emotions surpassing those of the lesser celestial beings. Inasmuch as we are governed by reason rather than the caprices of sentiment, and in our dutiful adherence to the decrees of our superiors, we most resemble valiant soldiers. We do stand as vigilant sentinels, ever on guard to defend the noble race of humanity, although you are frequently oblivious to our steadfast presence and aid. Untainted by vanity, we seek not accolades for the execution of our sacred duties. To serve is indeed the essence of our being, and it is with great pleasure we attend to your needs. Wherefore, the Bible does declare in truth that mankind occupies a station exalted above the angels, for we lack the emotional finesse and dormant potential that resides within you. When I utter the term potential, I refer to the notion that as your knowledge does grow and mature, you will continue to evolve into beings of great spiritual might. Angels, alas, shall never attain such heights. It may appear that angels possess a greater intelligence than humankind, and in certain instances, this may hold true. Our reasoning may be infallible, yet, as I have elucidated, we lack the same emotional depth, nor shall we ever ascend to a higher form as you are destined to do.

Should you embrace the belief in the reality of angels, or at the very least their conceivable presence, we should commence our collaborative efforts. These divine dictations stand as but a singular manifestation of a mortal's communion with an angel, endeavoring to impart wisdom to posterity. Furthermore, the scribe herein finds great solace as mine utterances take root within her very heart. Let it be known, there exist myriad avenues by which angels and humans might join their talents for the enhancement of our earthly realm if only you are willing.

An alternative means by which we may cooperate is found in your own requests. It is paramount to comprehend that, unless you implore us, we will not take it upon ourselves to alter the conditions of your existence. It is solely through your prayers and requests for our assistance that we are liberated to intervene. This is due to the distinct hierarchy, as I have elucidated. Should the angels transgress your sovereign will, it would be a most egregious interference, imposing our agenda upon you. We are but your servants, and thus it ever shall be. Therefore, should you find yourself in distress and in need of assistance, do not hesitate to beseech us. We will take it upon ourselves to employ every means at our disposal to effectuate this request. However, it is imperative to acknowledge that we cannot circumvent your will, nor may we alter in any manner your appointed fate. I shall refrain from delving further into this contemplation, for the scribe has been thoroughly enlightened on matters pertaining to your destiny and the Grand Design of your existence (refer to "Messages From Metatron," 2015).

I shall most earnestly reiterate that whatever your soul has assented to within your Divine Blueprint, we are utterly unable to alter. However, what we do offer is our vigilant protection, sagacious guidance, perceptive insight, and abundant resources, all of which are considerable. You are attended by a Guardian Angel, and this steadfast companion will collaborate with other celestial beings, endeavoring to manifest the most favorable and resplendent outcome. Where previously your path was fraught with peril, know that through our intervention you shall fare far and away better. In the event that you find yourself beset by anxiety, concern, or even illness, seek our wisdom and assets, and observe the unfolding thereof. You will witness the circumstance reconcile itself, or swiftly improve. The harmonious collaboration between celestial beings and mankind has endured since the inception of your kind. Our choirs were ordained with the purpose of ardently tending to and comforting those who are in fear. Truly, you have nothing to dread should you call upon us, for we will devote our utmost energies in your service.

I do hope you have come to a deeper understanding of the celestial purpose of angels and our profound bond with yourself. There exists no cause for doubt as to whether Heaven lends an ear, for a multitude of angels could hasten to your side in the merest moment. We do indeed hear your sorrows, we do care deeply, and most significantly, not a single instant passes wherein your Guardian is not present, offering fervent prayers on your behalf. Unbeknownst to you, a veritable host of angels, spirit guides, and ancestors gazes upon you, far beyond what the mind can conceive. In truth, help is but a whisper away.

You have encountered narratives of a splendid realm from those who have brushed the veil of mortality and returned to the light of existence. Individuals who have eluded the clutches of death and traversed the celestial expanses recount with singularity of a heavenly abode, while some attest to the presence of a hellish counterpart. The scientists term these phenomena as hallucinations engendered by an insufficiency of oxygen to the brain as it nears demise. This supposition bears merit; nevertheless, a preponderance of those who have encountered the Near Death Experience recount similar visions: traversing a tunnel, encountering radiant luminescence, beloved souls greeting them, and an ineffable sensation of belonging, accompanied by an all-encompassing love. Many speak of an encounter with the Divine in some similar way. Is the human brain pre-programmed to hallucinate the same way at death? If so, how is this possible? If so, why is every NDE unique and customized though these "hallucinations" share similar features? Scientists have no explanation for these anomalies and in my opinion, until they can answer these questions they cannot be said to have solved the riddle. Therefore, it is preemptive of them to claim to know when they clearly do not. Humans, especially scientifically-minded academics feel most comfortable with a ready answer for everything.

Though I am no man of science, I possess certain characteristics reminiscent of omniscience, for I am able to perceive and traverse the very fabric of time. With nothing but a fleeting blink of the eye, I may advance or retreat through the epochs of time with the utmost ease and swiftness. This arises from the celestial frequency of an angel, which soars far beyond your own. Even the very atmosphere which surrounds you is weighty compared to mine own essence, allowing me to traverse the vast expanses of the firmament. I am no prodigy, yet my intellect is capable of deciphering complex mathematical conundrums with astonishing swiftness. For celestial beings, such as I, have been endowed with faculties of cognition akin to those of the Divine; just as you aet endowed with emotions, for the Divine, too, possesses such feelings. I and mine operate upon a plane unseen by your eyes. Therefore, I beseech you to heed my words: the afterlife is existent, along with a myriad beings traversing ethereal realms and dimensions beyond mortal comprehension.

Allow me to refrain from elucidating what lies in wait upon the Other Side, for one might consult information regarding Near-Death Experiences, should that be their desire. Rather, I find greater importance in detailing the metamorphosis of your earthly relationships upon your arrival, as it will give you a sense of hope most profound. It is evident, dear reader, that earthly connections often degrade and wither as the sands of time flow ceaselessly. Much akin to a decaying form, the elements erode the once-bountiful patience held between souls. The fervent passion once ablaze for one’s partner wanes as one navigates the tempests of a personality's demands, a phenomenon recognized scientifically as entropy. The passage of time inexorably diminishes all mortal ties. Indeed, with kin and relations, the tribulations of enduring familial discord grow increasingly burdensome. Many have resolved that the sole means to safeguard their sanity is to withdraw from toxic connections. You might conjecture that an angel of kindness would encourage you to apply love; indeed, God is Love itself. Yet, I shall not feign that all fractured bridges ought to be mended. Strive to reconcile most disparities, but should the other party lack the maturity to extend a genuine apology or to amend their ways, know that their pride commands the narrative, thwarting any prospect of reconciliation. In such instances, permit these wounds to endure. If your conscience is clear, only the passage of time and wisdom shall aid them. Individuals behold only that which they are prepared to perceive. If they choose to remain blind, let life itself draw forth their awareness. Withdraw, allowing the forces of karma to execute divine justice, imparting both rebuke and lesson. Though it may be grievously troubling to depart from such ties and seasoned with disappointment, oftentimes, such is the only course that one can take.

Fortunately, amidst the disquiet of relational troubles, a most profound turn of events will present itself upon crossing to the Other Side. You will be graced with a most precious golden opportunity—a Life Review. In this hallowed moment, you will witness and experience the true essence of all that has transpired for those involved. You will tread in their footsteps, whilst they will perceive through your eyes. Human prejudices shall be cast aside, enabling you to behold your own history with unclouded vision, and for the first occasion, the ego will trouble you no longer, lost in this transformative experience. Bereft of ego and bias, you are rendered pure in spirit, a seeker of nothing but the truth. I assure you, all souls engaged in this journey depart with a fervent conviction that they might have acted with greater virtue, imbued with feelings of regret and sorrow for their more selfish actions. Thus, I fervently urge you to address relational dilemmas in this present moment.

The most resplendent aspect of the Life Review is that one will attain the tranquility of making amends even with the most detested of adversaries. While one traverses this earthly realm, the ego renders such reconciliations impossible; yet in the celestial abode, animosity has no place. The resolution of this process is not achieved until you have encountered each individual with whom you are estranged. Perchance you may wonder, 'Should the person I seek still inhabit this earthly plane, how can we engage in reunion in the hereafter?' You are contemplating in terms of conventional, fleeting time. In Heaven, past and future are but illusions; it is as if time itself ceases to exist. In the absence of time, the past dissolves, thus so too does that individual of your former days. They are rendered present in the heavenly realm. The notion of timelessness may elude comprehension; yet, your current existence is nothing but a projection of your consciousness. At the moment of death, when consciousness is liberated from the material realm, all figures of your past are likewise concluded. Trust this, though it may challenge the bounds of reason: you will begin anew! Your life will conclude with a peaceful resolution and you will be given a blank slate upon which no burdens remain. All the ephemeral quandaries which did vex your mind will be erased as a mere sandcastle before the inexorable ocean. You have devoted much time and shed countless tears seeking resolution, yet such misunderstandings may only find their remedy in the afterlife, the domain of sublime serenity. Ascribe the blame to the ego, for it indeed undermines your noblest impulses. Gentle friends, should there be any import in these proclamations, take heed of this singular truth: cherish your existence, for time is ever fleeting, and once you reach the realm wherein love reigns supreme, all possibilities will unfold. There exists a favored adage in Heaven: 'Anything is possible,' for love is the most potent solvent, obliterating sin and ignorance alike. This day, relinquish your frustrated endeavors and permit matters to be as they are. Should you find yourself incapable of relinquishing the past, take solace in the knowledge that further opportunities will present themselves; for if naught else, love is a gift of unparalleled grace, an extraordinary grace indeed.

lV. Becoming a Spiritual Person

When you find yourself at a juncture and seek direction, might there exist a method through which divine guidance from angelic beings may come? We cannot make your choices, for you are burdened with the quest of navigating the intricate labyrinth of life’s offerings; however, we can affirm or deny your ponderings. One method of discernment is to remain vigilant for signs. Some shall manifest grandly as a shooting star, while others may appear as trifling as a mere penny. Certain creatures, like the butterfly, bear significance as totems. When you see them, they shall serve as portents. It is of utmost importance to regard not such encounters as mere happenstance, as you may be inclined to do; for how else might an angel, concealed from your eyes, convey a message? We find ourselves unable to present our countenance before you, for such would undoubtedly induce a fright; nor may we utter words audibly for the same rationale. Our communication transpires via the ethereal channel of thought, though many will dismiss such as mere fancies of their own mind. Hence, we are obliged to manifest a sign from your surroundings. The quandary inherent in the communion betwixt angel and mortal lies in the fact that our attempts to garner your notice are often regarded with skepticism. Even when mortals behold an apparition with their own eyes, or when captured upon the lens, doubt prevails. The intellect abhors being fooled, thus it scrutinizes all that is unfamiliar and incorporeal. "Prove it!" serves as the clarion call of the discerning thinker. It is prudent not to embrace every tale, lest you be led astray. Yet, ponder this: there exist realms imperceptible to your eyes, such as the sub-atomic domain. Bear in mind that what you do know pales in comparison to the grand expanse of the unknown. Physicists labor to substantiate the existence of layers of being beyond your sight, and even now, they unravel theories of a multiform universe, with vast treasures awaiting discovery; thus, it is but the commencement of enlightenment.

I have opined that it would greatly behoove both mankind and celestial beings to engage in greater collaboration, thus rendering benefit to all—angels, humans, and the world at large. How might it enrich your existence to receive direct counsel from an angelic spirit, and how should one discern the veracity of such communications and interpret the signs aright? The answer is rather straightforward, akin to the wisdom expressed in the scripture, "Ye have not because ye ask not" (James 4:2). With utmost simplicity, beseech that a conduit of communication be established betwixt yourself and the heavenly hosts, and be not astonished should it manifest with expedience. Your Guardian Angel has been conversing with you since your very first utterance. Your supplication shall dismantle any barriers which have been erected. Should you harbor fears that a malevolent spirit may gain your ear, attend scrupulously to the conveyed message. Does it carry a tone of positivity or negativity? The nefarious spirits shall surely convey a negative message, whilst angels are unequivocally of a benevolent nature.

The manifold advantages inherent in the ability to decipher celestial messages are most profound. Primarily, they may avert one from embarking upon a path most calamitous. Indeed, angels are perpetually engaged in the noble task of guiding humankind, oftentimes unbeknownst to them, so as to stave off peril and affliction. Understand that a hierarchy exists, commencing with an angelic whisper that eludes the conscious ear. Curiously, the subconscious is adept at discerning these ethereal messages. Once apprehended by the subconscious, however, the conscious mind, rife with skepticism, demands tangible evidence. Hence, should you desire divine guidance, it is requisite to silence that discerning mind from time to time. For this reason, I encourage you to seek a boon from the angels; for upon beseeching assistance or a sign, should it manifest, you shall perceive it as a response and exhibit less skepticism.

To embark upon the path of spiritual enlightenment does not necessitate an overwhelming exertion of effort. One must merely cultivate an earnest curiosity regarding profound matters, such as the ethereal realms and spiritual teachings. Acquiring knowledge in any new domain demands an inquisitive intellect. Indeed, one must acknowledge that spirituality and religion are realms distinct and separate. Religion concerns itself with the mere discourse surrounding the Divine, whilst spirituality offers the noble experience of communion with the Divine. Whereas learning of God is certainly commendable, to know God is infinitely superior. Truly, one may cultivate a friendship with the celestial beings known as angels. There exist those whose spirits resonate so profoundly that they converse with their angels as familiar friends. The Holy Scriptures abound with accounts of angels manifesting and engaging in dialogue with ordinary folk. It is but the absence of your contemplation on such possibilities that has precluded such experiences in your life. Should you but slightly ajar the door of your heart, an influx of light will enter in. There lies no necessity to be a devotee of an established Church; I would rather you maintain your independence, ever nurturing your curiosity. Beware, however: avoid the folly of presuming you possess all wisdom concerning God and the spiritual expanse, for truly, none can lay claim to this. Remain ever receptive to new revelations, for a continual pursuit of knowledge and growth in faith shall ever enrich your journey.

There exists a matter of the heart that ought to be reconciled, for from the heart does spring forth the very issues of existence. When I utter the term 'heart,' I do not allude to the corporeal organ, but rather to the ethereal soul within; this signifies the true heart of every individual, the very nucleus of life that animates the body and that which shall endure beyond the veil of death. Each soul is unique and each person possesses either a virtuous or a vile heart. Surely, you have encountered the phrase, 'She has a good heart,' denoting a commendable quality; she may be benevolent or kind. On the contrary, those with wicked hearts may be selfish and unkind. The benevolent-hearted shall be drawn unto the light, while those of darker disposition will gravitate in the opposite direction. One may ponder why certain souls appear to be born possessed of malevolence. It is due to their souls bearing hindrances or inclinations from prior existences. Should a soul engage in misdeeds in prior lifetimes, such impressions are born again. In this manner, it is conceivable that some children may enter this world with a bad seed. Yet, any soul is capable of altering their karma; no individual is sentenced to endure the same habits for eternity. The malevolent must rise above their darkness, a journey that unfolds across lifetimes, a gradual endeavor. Because these darkened souls encounter great obstruction from the light, it proves arduous for them to embrace affirming messages. If you are wrestling to discern communications from the Other Side, there may be barriers obstructing your path. Hence, the inquiry becomes: how may I extricate that which impedes my ascent towards greater spirituality?

Were you to able to dismantle the mental barricades that ensnare your mind, you would have accomplished that feat by now. As I have previously articulated, the purification of one’s thoughts is indeed a gradual endeavor. In the course of your maturation, one must discard antiquated notions in pursuit of novel insights. The pertinent inquiry is: what incites growth? Education bequeaths upon you intellectual advancement. Engaging with books and the vast expanse of the Internet may greatly enhance your global perspective. Sojourns to diverse lands may foster social growth, as encounters with varied societies and cultures will deepen your comprehension of your shared humanity. The study of world religions may unveil the doctrines of disparate faiths, alongside their shared commonalities. Furthermore, listening to venerable elders may cultivate growth, as such wisdom offers an alternative viewpoint. Experiential learning, too, stands as a potent means to augment your repository of knowledge. Truly, there exists an abundance of instruments to facilitate your mental expansion, which will, in due course, expedite your spiritual evolution.

To purify yourself from detrimental influences, you must exercise utmost caution concerning that which you permit to traverse the portals of your being, encompassing your eyes and ears. Your society, in its remarkable advancement of electrification and mechanization, does offer a multitude of means to gather information. This circumstance is replete with virtues and vices; for truly, the World Wide Web affords you interminable knowledge, yet perilous, for such knowledge may often be of a deleterious nature. I beseech you, guard your eyes and ears diligently, that you may nurture a tender and benevolent heart.

At long last, dear soul, perceive that you were fashioned to be an essential component of the ethereal realm, even while sojourning upon this earthly plane. Primarily, you are a spirit being. You did elect to inhabit this mortal coil for but a fleeting span, ample time to cultivate yourself through the embrace of light and the relinquishment of shadow. Yet, your most genuine essence is your eternal soul, destined for a glorious conclusion. You are a blend of the mortal and the divine, which renders much of existence perplexing and arduous. Upon your return to your heavenly abode, your comprehension will attain perfection. Truly, it is akin to donning smudged spectacles, yet the heavens will grant you the means to cast them aside and behold with unerring clarity. In tempestuous times, recall that you are predominantly spirit rather than flesh. Remember that your tribulations are but temporary. You are not solitary in your voyage, though it may present the illusion of solitude. Your Guardian Angel and your karmic companions are perennially by your side, attentive to your requests. May my solemn words bestow upon you the confidence that you are never apart from us and instill the hope that brighter days shall dawn upon you.

V. The Pitfalls of Mortality

Above all, I am an Archangel renowned for my forthrightness; thus, I shan't be swayed by feelings, which are ephemeral in nature. Today, my utterances may strike you as offensive, yet tomorrow their wisdom will reveal itself. Therefore, I articulate my thoughts unambiguously, and should some take offense, such is the nature of discourse. Those zealous for knowledge are seldom offended, for their thirst to learn outweighs any offense taken.

In the spirit of candidness, I wish to critique certain aspects of mortal cognition that are lamentably myopic. It is not to declare mortals as devoid of intellect—indeed, numerous are the intelligent and rational individuals among you. Rather, it is the tempestuous nature of emotions that leads one astray. Consider how alien beings are typically portrayed as devoid of feeling, and observe that scientists and mathematicians exhibit an admirable stolidness. They lean upon the edifice of logic and reason, eschewing the caprices of sentiment. Feelings can be treacherous; one may be incited to acts of violence, only to later recognize one's own culpability. Emotions distort the truth and are untrustworthy. Those who value reliability and verification must forego confidence in their feelings and indeed, even in their own perceptions, for these too can mislead.

Take, for instance, perspective; optical illusions abound, concealing the verity of speed, height, weight, and distance. Such misapprehensions are precisely what instruments of measurement, such as the measuring tape and the level, are devised to rectify, as reliance upon one's senses may yield erroneous results. In like manner, when one permits emotions to dictate judgement, they are led perilously astray. Emotions fluctuate with alarming rapidity, rendering them, in my estimation, scarcely worthy of heed. Yet, even cognizant of this fallibility, mankind clings obstinately to the whims of their feelings.

Having disparaged you for your inadequacies, allow me to offer another observation: the majority of humanity is woefully bereft of the requisite knowledge upon which to fashion sound decisions and opinions. They are devoid of elementary understandings essential for the formulation of judicious, well-informed choices. In the absence of such enlightenment, mortals often rely upon their capricious feelings, placing undue trust in opinions that lack the fortitude of substantiating evidence. When this phenomenon takes hold, when feelings usurp the mantle of reality, the individual becomes the self-proclaimed authority. Once they assert dominion as the final arbiter, retracting such a stance proves difficult. When faced with the unvarnished truth, their retort is to cast it aside in favor of emotion. In such instances, the objective standard is lost; it transmutes from the verifiable to the subjective realm. Thus, each man assumes the role of his own law, impervious to external counsel. This existence is perilous, for when one becomes the architect of his own code, chaos reigns. Beauty is misconstrued as frailty, and the treasures of literature and history dwindle to insignificance. Truth, I assure you, is immutable. Facts must ever be esteemed above mere opinion. Therefore, I entreat you, esteemed reader, to remain vigilant, for your opinion and feelings, though legitimate in your own estimation, may not align with truth and may thus lead you astray.

How does one arrive at sound decisions when the faculties of one's senses and the temperaments of one's feelings may prove to be unreliable? This predicament is often encountered. When the ebbs and flows of feeling are ever shifting, it becomes imperative to establish enduring standards and values that will provide guidance. I daresay that the majority of individuals remain unaware of their preeminent values. Hence, it is of the utmost importance to understand what holds significance in one’s life. Values are subject to the vicissitudes of time. What was dear in youth may lose its luster in maturity. Likewise, the values cherished by one gender may diverge from those esteemed by another. The values upheld by one nation may not be recognized by a contrasting land. Values are contingent upon a multitude of factors, remaining resolutely subjective. Religions attempt to dictate to their adherents that which they ought to hold dear; alas, this seldom achieves its purpose, but rather engenders guilt when the congregation finds themselves at odds with ecclesiastical values. This is because it is incumbent upon each individual to select their own values. Without steadfast adherence to one's principles, one is akin to a vessel adrift upon the tempestuous sea, susceptible to every capricious gust. Values bestow direction; they illuminate the path one ought to pursue.

Take a moment to sit and diligently inscribe that which holds paramount significance to you. What brings you the utmost joy in life? There exists no right nor wrong in this contemplation, for no person or society ought to dictate your values. They are intrinsically yours alone. I beseech you to ponder deeply; reflect upon the rationale behind the values you have chosen. Upon the completion of your esteemed list, labor to align your decisions with these cherished values. This may indeed prove challenging! There may be anguish in reconciling your life with that which you hold dear, as some aspects may necessitate relinquishment to embrace others. Therein lies the heartache of letting go, which often deters individuals from truly discerning their authentic values. Change may be necessary. Yet I implore you, dear friend, without such transformation you fail to be true to your own self. Your dreams linger still, awaiting your pursuit, with you alone possessing the power to actualize them. What do you desire most fervently? In life, the multitude of desires may indeed be quite bewildering. You must prioritize and select among the many. It is prudent to list these desires in a descending order.

This leads to the question of how to let go of people and things you treasure, for certainly you will have to. My suggestion is to remind yourself in the pain of letting go that you cannot fully grasp something until your hands are empty. Emptying yourself of what was may be like tearing out your own hair. It may feel like torturing yourself, for you could at any moment turn back. But ships are not made to stay in the dock! Ships are made to leave the safety of the harbor, made to sail the open sea. That is you, my dear friend. You are that ship made to sail towards your dreams. I would rather see you with the wind in your hair, risking a new adventure than hugging the shore. Only, make sure it is your dream and no others.

Touching upon the subject of humanity's deficiencies, I should venture to observe a proclivity I have often noted, one readily succumbed to and difficult to eschew. For because one's existence has been confined to a singular path, it proves difficult to apprehend how others might harbor such disparate viewpoints. This, of course, arises from a want of having trod in their very boots. Being of an angelic nature, I scratch my head at human conduct and this lack of understanding, inasmuch as I have never been a mortal. However, though I have not trod your path, I do bear in mind that we are disparate species. We share sundry characteristics, including a humanoid form and an intelligence that encompasses emotions. Yet, we stand as opposites in other regards. The gamut of human experiences runs deep and wide.

Though you are of the same species, your neighbor's upbringing was different, their family was different, and their adult experiences have been wholly dissimilar from your own. Notwithstanding these disparate circumstances and experiences, one expects his neighbor to think like him. Yet, how may they, when their very constitution and surroundings have imprinted upon them in a fashion quite different from one's own? You have fallen into the error of supposing that, because they bear a resemblance to yourself and employ your tongue, they are therefore of a like thought. Were you a creature of simpler mien, such as an ant, this might hold true, for their experiences are near identical, driven as they are by mere instinct, possessing only that which nature has imposed upon them. This individualism is what accounts for the manifold variety of humanity.

Considering that each individual is possessed of a singular nature, it is feasible to regard them less as reflections of oneself, and more as beings, who, though bearing a superficial resemblance, are, in essence, akin to another species. This being so, when their opinion meets with your dissent, remind yourself that, although your outward forms are similar, your inner constitutions are as different as that of a separate race. But, you may contend, their customs are analogous—they eat with silverware, and not with their hands. They possess a telephone, much like mine own. Their mode of attire is of the same fashion. Yes, these outward manifestations are convincing similar. While on the inside, they are different. The trial I set before you is this: to bear in mind that, though outwardly similar, each soul is a singular creation, akin to a species unto itself. Wherefore, when discourse leads to discord, reflect upon this truth: though our forms may resemble, within all are as distinct as creatures from separate worlds.

I daresay, were an ant gifted with the power of speech, one would smile at its discourse, for its replies would be so singularly divergent from one's own. And, being of a different species, one would appreciate that its perspective is colored by its very 'antness.' I entreat you to bear in mind that when others appear strange to you, it is merely because they are not yourself. Their genetics and experiences have fashioned them into that which they are. If you are able to adopt this perspective, you will look with a greater empathy upon all creatures, humans and animals alike. This understanding will considerably diminish the offense taken when someone is discourteous or injurious. When your neighbor conducts himself in a manner objectionable, declare to yourself, "He is of a different species." There is no need to chasten him, nor to take offense. He merely acts in accordance with his breeding and the manner in which he was formed. Assuredly, there exist moments to speak one's mind. But better to hold your tongue, realizing that, right or wrong, they have a right to their opinion.

Another common error, indeed, is the presumption amongst mortals that they must play the instructor: "I shall teach them a lesson!" While it is true that one may learn through chastisement, they shall acquire knowledge with far greater speed when life itself imparts the selfsame instruction. The majority of people do not conduct themselves as if the law of karma were real, yet I warrant it is so. Should you but step aside, entreating the cosmos to perform its ordained task, I assure you, the lesson will be delivered in such a fashion that it will not fail to be heeded. Truly, a great many of life's vexations might be assuaged by entreating one's karmic team to intercede and manage them on one's behalf. It is often presumed, owing to the notion that it is "one's own" life, that all difficulties need to be managed by oneself; when, in fact, the contrary is often the case. I speak truthfully: should you never utter another word, life would yet proceed around you, and the matters which arise would be resolved as if by some enchantment. How, pray tell, is this feasible?

Forasmuch as you did devise a Blueprint for this life, before you assumed a corporeal form, this plan resembles the rails of a train track. It cannot dictate the swiftness at which the conveyance will travel, nor the direction it will take, for these matters are at the discretion of the conductor. Yet, the rails do ensure the train will speed along towards its destination. It is incumbent upon you to determine your desired direction and pace, then take your seat and revel in the vista. Thus, a simpler life may be found. Who journeys beside you? It is not your own decree, although you may change seats. Therefore, attend more closely to the moment than to time spent fretting over that which you can not govern. So much of what you have presumed to command is beyond your grasp. Cast up thine hands and surrender whatsoever has been vexing you and be open to that which will transpire.

My advice sounds, as you read it, very straightforward and sensible. But you know that trusting the process is anything but easy. It is the loss of control that you fear. Where did this fear originate? For many, its origins are in childhood. As a child, you were at your most vulnerable. When someone you trusted abused you or deceived you, your innocence was lost. By innocence, I mean the ability to trust others. For some people, it is all they have known. You may have had a whole lifetime of the feeling of betrayal. Betrayal and abuse fosters fear and anxiety. The greater the childhood issues, the more you fear. However, thankfully, I am not asking you to trust humans. I am asking you, if you want to be a freer person to place your trust firmly in this unseen Force, this Absolute Love which is everything and nothing.

How should one place their faith in that which cannot be seen to direct the course of one’s existence? Yet, you already do! Ponder, if you will, upon that which is imperceptible, yet ceaselessly nurtures your very being with each fleeting moment. Partake of a breath, and you shall discern that oxygen, though an unseen essence, is a tangible substance that sustains life. In the same way, an unseen God can be relied upon to carry you when needed. Consider how your attitude is governed by your own volition. Even amidst the direst adversities, you possess the power to choose between tumultuous strife or tranquil sailing. Your gaze extends outward; thus you seek solutions beyond yourself. I implore you to elevate your eyes heavenward rather than outwardly. A mere alteration in direction is all that is requisite.

In summation, allow yourself to be an isle unto your own being. For the greater part, strive to be emotionally self-sufficient. Guard your opinions as treasures, holding them close. Embrace the role of passenger more often than that of conductor. In this way you get out of the way, allowing the universe to have its way.

VI. Radical Change

When encumbered with a burden most grievous, be it an illness, a troubled relationship, or any other wretched plight, you may feel as though you are the sole bearer of such a weighty yoke upon this earth. In the depths of your struggle, you may perceive yourself as wholly isolated, questioning why your existence is not as untroubled as those of others. Even after fervent supplication for aid, it may appear that none is forthcoming. Yet, take heed that such trials are ordained for all humankind. Each soul is destined to endure their own Gethsemane, or a succession thereof. Even Christ beseeched in the garden of Gethsemane for the removal of His trial, yet received no reply from the celestial realm, but rather the chilling embrace of silence. Why is it that in our most dire hour, help remains elusive? Are not the angelic beings appointed to shield and safeguard? Of all the hallowed Archangels, it is my sacred duty to guard, defend, and deliver from peril. Yet, why do you remain abandoned in sorrow, bereft of solace? It is a most heartrending inquiry that yearns for clarification; for if Christ was forsaken in His tribulations, what, alas, is the prospect for mankind?

       Be assured from the outset that there exists not a hint of sadism within the Divine. No cruelty nor even a shadow of turning taints the nature of God. The Almighty harbors no desire for vengeance, nor does He entertain jealousy. His wrath is but a fleeting moment, for even within the intricate tapestry of karma lies the promise of redemption. God takes no pleasure in witnessing the sufferings which afflict humankind. It is solely because the human mind cannot conceive of a pure and wholly benevolent character forged in love that it casts blame upon God for the cruelty exhibited by mankind. Your state of affairs is burdened with tribulation, owing to your presence upon a sphere beset by error, ignorance, and malice. Reflect not upon the query, 'why must I endure this,' but rather, 'what purpose brings me here? Your soul could have chosen a million other planets, yet you chose this one. The question is, why? If you have arrived at this question sincerely then I will offer an honest answer.

       Lo! You are present in this melancholic garden with your knee bent, so you might cultivate empathy towards one another, for all endure the same lamentable fate. Yet, you point an accusatory finger elsewhere, while being the very architect of another's distress. You cast the blame upon others and are loath to admit your role in causing injury, for you are mired in your own anguish. Is it not true that only those who suffer inflict suffering upon others? This sphere teems with souls in torment, who, though afflicting others, steadfastly deny their own imperfection. As I have previously espoused, this earthly realm resembles an asylum of madness, wherein up is down and down is up. Here, all is inverted. Is it any marvel that your burden weighs so fearfully? If it was too burdensome for Christ, it surely must be a crushing weight upon you.

    I bestow upon you the same proclamation that was imparted unto Christ: you shall endure suffering for as long as you are a denizen of this earthly sphere, which serves as the crucible for your soul's maturation. Pray tell, how does such wretched anguish aid the spirit? Much like flint, with each torment your character is exquisitely sculpted, wrought into a grander and more potent essence. You are being fashioned and refined by your trials, that you may learn to bear each blow with the grace befitting that which Christ endured. Truly, suffering cleanses the soul of the blemishes wrought by the ego. In summation, you are here to cultivate empathy and humility. What you must grasp next is the pressing necessity of these virtues, compelling you to persevere through myriad lifetimes of tribulation.

  Beyond the mortal coil lies a myriad of landscapes, an abundance of dimensions and realms designed not for the infliction of suffering, but rather for the enrichment of the soul. These realms are illumined and far less insidious than this terrestrial sphere. Yet, be forewarned, should you remain enmeshed in the clutches of the ego, you shall find no welcome there; akin to a contagion, the ego infects those it encounters. Should one steeped in egoism spread their notions and deeds, such influences may proliferate and corrupt others. Until such time as you are divested of your ignorance and rancor, your spirit will be consigned to this earth. The duration of this endeavor rests entirely in your hands. While your karmic team may cushion your descents, while on this planet the necessity of falling will remain.

    Allow me to unveil the unembellished truth regarding your presence here, and the solitude that haunts your path. It is a journey meant solely for you to traverse. Hence, it is in your utmost interest to reflect upon your actions and choices, measuring them against the esteemed virtues of empathy and humility. Have you spoken with compassion, and conducted yourself with the utmost modesty? Were you to divert your gaze from others and scrutinize your own behavior, you would unearth flaws in your reasoning. Such introspection would surely place you upon the road to redemption. But I am suggesting that you wound yourself, and as I said, it will feel like pulling out your own hair. It is less painful to deny and deflect.

Behold the arduous nature of this endeavor, wherein manifold lives are often required to relinquish the ego. I lament that I cannot present a swifter passage towards the refinement of your soul, yet this, alas, is the bitter truth. One may advance but a certain measure within the span of a single existence; albeit you may perceive a sluggish progression, your advancement is considerable indeed. As a mortal, you have surmounted trials most commendably. My sole counsel, most cherished soul, is to draw near unto the ethereal realm, and as Christ, beseech the aid that you require. While we behold the trials you are compelled to endure, let such discussion serve to forge an indelible bond between us, bestowing upon you the fortitude required. We, the celestial courtiers, cast our gaze upon the earthly realm with a blend of compassion and pity, well aware of the burdens you must bear. We weep and indeed share in your mirth; your tribulations and affliction have not eluded our notice. Know that sorrows are diminished in weight, when we assist you in their bearing. Therefore, summon us, your guardians and allies, the angels.

Each individual nurtures a firm belief in their mastery over at least one domain, deriving great pride therein. Yet, I implore you to compare your scant wisdom against the splendor of the natural realm, be it a resplendent dawn awash in the vivid shades of orange and crimson, or a sunset aflame with azure, gold, and rose, or perchance a rainbow, cascading its celestial hues from the heavens, and then ask, who now stands as the true artist? Is there naught among the achievements of man that can rival the majesty of the Almighty? Behold the crystalline marvel of the ocean's turquoise swell, the grandiosity of a snow-capped mountain, whereupon tender snowflakes descend with gentle grace—who can ascribe their mortal prowess to such celestial wonders as these?

My dear children, rejoice in the achievements, yet remain ever mindful that you are but a mere son or daughter of the Creator who has fashioned the splendid marvels of the natural realm. You are but a minuscule note amidst a magnificent symphony, thus permit your existence to be rendered with as much grace as your faculties permit. Behold, you have been allotted but a fleeting moment to seek communion with thine own spirit. Alas, many languish in the myopia of their own perceived significance. Should you find yourself filled with awe at your endeavors, observe that you are naught but a speck adrift within a boundless sphere. You are neither the hand that doth shake this sphere nor the architect of your own presence. Your existence is not of your own making as is the Divine Creator, the Self-Existent One. If you are male, you possess not the capacity to bestow life. What, then, is your boast? Speak of but a single creation of yours that will endure beyond your mortal existence? All will wither as the sun does, languishing unregarded. Your legacy, which appears so assured in this present hour, will fade as the earth makes its eternal revolutions, as the sun ascends and descends, and as the moon waxes and wanes. Your reality is but ephemeral. Why, then, do you indulge in boastfulness, when all shall elude your grasp? Time trickles as sand through one's fingers, an ungraspable essence. You possess it naught, for all is fleeting save for one enduring and intangible facet. Your steadfast devotion to the Almighty will assuredly transcend this earthly life, for the Heavens do heed your gratitude and your earnest supplications. Your tears have not been overlooked. Your dedication to erect a bridge to the celestial realm is recognized, and truly, I assure you, it will not go unacknowledged; it is not in vain. Thus, let not your legacy reside in that which you have wrought, birthed, or attained, but rather let it embody the immaterial, that it may accompany you unto the next world.

Let not your heart be swayed by the allure of riches, for the treasures you acquire will but pass to another's keeping. Take heed, also, not to pride yourself upon diplomas and worldly knowledge, for though knowledge may serve you, true wisdom is wrought within the soul, not inscribed in mere books. Regard not your offspring with undue reverence, for while they may embody the promise of tomorrow, they too will, like all, succumb to the trials of existence. Do not venerate the trappings of authority, renown, and fame, as such tributes are as ephemeral as the morning dew. Even the esteemed realms of art and music, the resplendent gems of humanity, will ultimately fade into the annals of antiquity, remembered no more. Truly, there exists none of your essence that will endure save the state of your own spirit. Thus, I beseech you to ponder, what then is the condition of my soul?

"My soul is like all others," and you console yourself with this. "I am no better and no worse than every other." Yet, 'tis a fallacy that all souls are alike. For some souls are steeped in malevolence, whilst others shine forth with an almost angelic virtue; myriad hues reside betwixt the extremes. What hue does encompass your soul? There exist souls of a murky grey, straddling the line 'twixt shadow and illumination. Such souls prove no use to anyone, for they vacillate betwixt vice and virtue, achieving neither. And what of those ethereal souls, radiant as a sunbeam, whose luminance the darkness cannot extinguish? They grace the world not out of obligation, but from a deliberate choice to endure suffering so that others might suffer less. Conversely, the most malevolent beings render anguish upon others, having themselves been forged in anguish. Amidst these polar opposites lie the majority, striving toward the noble aspiration of self-betterment, and thus we arrive at you.

You do aspire to elevate your own character, yet you are beset by uncertainty as to the manner of such elevation. Should you partake in the solemn assembly of worshippers? Yet, alas, even the most nefarious amongst you claim piety, thus rendering this path to righteousness dubious at best. Should you heed the sacred injunctions of Christ by bestowing sustenance upon the famished and clothes upon the destitute? Undoubtedly, such acts of benevolence are imbued with divine essence; yet one must bear in mind that even the wicked may don the garb of compassion. Beyond the rituals of faith and acts of kindness dwells the true essence of one's spirit—this is the fulcrum upon which goodness and malevolence pivot. Truly, the heart and soul are entwined, inseparable in their nature. There exists no surefire means to transfigure a heart given to darkness into a beacon of virtue instantaneously, save for the illuminating grace of God which may yet awaken their slumbering conscience.

Through circumstance; one's consciousness may indeed be awakened to the veritable truth of their being—as a humble child of the Almighty. When they arise from the enchanting stupor in which the ego ensnared them, and behold, see their pitiable and dependent condition, their hearts will surely leap forward in awareness. Then will they perceive life as the exquisite gift it has ever been, and the world around them will likewise appear precious. They will no longer desire to inflict harm, for now they discern the wondrous grace that permitted their participation in the grand tapestry of existence. No longer will they regard themselves as pirates upon this earth, intent solely on plundering the fortunes of the less fortunate, but rather as benevolent stewards. Only the Divine may illuminate a darkened soul's comprehension to such a breathtaking degree.

Should you find yourself in dire need of a transformation most profound, there exists no notion more splendid than to beseech the Divine to take residence within your heart. This notion is rooted in the tenets of Christianity, inviting the Almighty to lay claim to one’s very soul. Perhaps you are not of the Christian faith, nor do you desire such affiliation; perchance all you seek is a change, an alteration of great significance. Who, apart from God, comprehends the vastness and intricacies of the human heart? The pangs of romantic affection may indeed unlock the heart, for such carnal love possesses this wondrous capacity. Yet, infatuation is but fleeting, while the love of God remains faithful and steadfast. As the sands of time slip through the hourglass, so too does God’s love deepen within the heart. If you yearn to be a person of spiritual inclinations, your spirit must engage in divine communion. It is a matter of great simplicity, though religion has rendered it most intricate. Allow it to be as uncomplicated as a prayer—a sincere and forthright entreaty from your heart to the ears of the Almighty. Simply declare: “O God, I firmly believe you hear me. Transform me. Perform what is necessary in my heart and life that we may be eternally intertwined. Aid me in discerning your presence within all and everything.” You are not beset with the weight of all responsibility for now it is a shared endeavor. Rely on God and the celestial messengers to accomplish what you cannot. Should a radical metamorphosis be requisite, your existence may manifest most differently, yet such is the cost of renewal. One must possess a disposition of willingness. The Lord will not remove that which is, unless it is to make way for that which is more beneficial.

When something prized is divested from one's possession it is not by blind accident. That which remains does so for a reason, and that which departs was ordained to depart. You may not fathom the reasons, nor can you perceive the grand tapestry; dwell solely upon the immediate path that lies ahead. Entrust the future to Providence, for such is the realm of the Divine. Your vision is not celestial; you only glimpse a handful of years into the future, and perchance not even that far. Commit your life's schemings unto God. Indeed, envisage your aspirations, yet ponder this: What you cannot discern, how can you plan? As age bestows wisdom and you reflect upon your journey, ensure that you are able to recollect your exploits with fondness. Let it be said of every soul, 'I have lived a life abundant in adventure.' Life is to be lived, not merely to be dreamt. Embrace risks, be they minute or grand; for without peril, wonder shall elude you. Thus, I counsel: the singular path to live most fully and to metamorphose into the being you aspire to become is to forge a sacred alliance with the Divine, wherein your heart’s true yearnings will assuredly find fruition.
