Archangel Michael, the Angel of Justice
Channelled by Edwin Courtenay
=================================
In the beginning, when human beings
are small and young, they are taught by their parents about justice
and fairness. They are taught to live
their lives in accordance with a series of moral codes and rules
that define right and wrong. Laws exist within society to enforce these
moral codes and some adhere to them strictly, adding their own ethics,
their
own virtues, strengthening the moral codes that were outlined to
them
as children. Others choose to ignore these rules, these laws, and
commit crimes which sour the nature of society and pollute the positive
strength
of community, bringing sadness, pain, horror and death to many. Those
on the spiritual path are raised to believe through their doctrine,
their religion or their spiritual belief system in a sense of universal
justice,
in a sense of universal fairness. That the Divine Source, however
it is seen, whatever it is called, holds over the world and mankind
a
pattern, a form, a clear definition of what is right and what is
wrong, of justice
and fairness that applies to all and that when an individual crosses
these invisible boundaries they are subject to universal punishment,
to karma, they have fallen into the shadowy realms of sin that will
bring about punishment in this plane or in the next.
The many who exist in the world who do not believe in higher spiritual
truth, in the presence of the Divine, in the Divine Plan, in the
Divine Order, often use the argument of the non-existence of universal
justice,
of universal fairness, of universal law, as evidence and proof that
the Divine is nothing more than a myth. They state and claim that
when one
lives a virtuous life they are no more rewarded than an individual
who lives a life of crime and that in fact those who often defy the
law of
society exist more comfortably than those who abide by the laws of
their society. Often too, when mankind is faced with challenges in
life, difficulties
that are brought to them as a result of the death of a loved one,
as a result of the loss of their business, as a result of illness,
as the
result of poverty, famine, starvation, drought, they are known to
shake their fist at the sky, to call to the Divine and ask why this
has occurred,
to state that this is not fair. And many who have begun their path
aligned to the truth of the Divine Source end it at this moment,
unable to comprehend
why the Divine, why the universe, could be so cruel, could punish
one so innocent, could be so unfair in its treatment of those who
have done
nothing other than strive to benefit the Divine Source and its plan
here on Earth.
“ Justice and fairness” is not something that has the same sense
in the higher spiritual planes as it does here on Earth. Mankind’s
comprehension, mankind’s definition of these words is very different
from the higher divine perspective and truth. Mankind has applied certain
rules, certain restrictions, which are not real. They have confused the
laws of their society, of their reality, with universal law and these
things are very different, very different indeed. Mankind on Earth lives
within a small space, the space between life and death. Even those who
comprehend and acknowledge their prior existences and their future lifetimes
too are stuck within the conscious awareness of one incarnation. Even
those who have memory of their past lives and of their future lives as
well cannot escape the solid reality of the present incarnation in which
they reside. This makes their life seem very small, it makes time very
precious, it intensifies the experiences of the moment and can make occurrences
seem very unfair, seem very unjust. The Divine Source which sees all,
which sees from the very beginning right up until the very end, acknowledges
the eternity and infinite nature of man’s soul, sees that mankind
has lived many times before and will live many times again, acknowledges
the continuance of the energy of the higher self. The higher self
acknowledges that what is not completed in one lifetime is ultimately,
eventually
completed in another. The higher self sees that lovers parted through
calamity in one incarnation are reunited in joy and love in another.
The higher self sees that experiences that have been lost, relationships
unexplored, families destroyed and blown apart, are all healed, are
all resolved, are all restored in time. And therefore universal justice,
universal fairness, spans across the many incarnations of each and
every
soul on Earth, taking its time but fulfilling the flow of right action,
enabling each and every person to create, experience and clear karma,
to reap the rewards and the detrimental effects of the threefold
law, to experience the return of the energies that they have sent
out into
the universe, to learn their lessons, to grow, to experience love
and joy, to be tempered by pain and death.
The Divine is an infinite, eternal, cosmic universal presence that
defies and confounds mankind’s limited perspective and consciousness.
It is not something that we can apply to the one life, to the short period
of existence that any human being knows. It is beyond that, it is across
time and dimension and space. It is profoundly huge in its nature and
as such its sense of justice, its sense of fairness, its sense of right
action is beyond mankind’s comprehension. When mankind shakes
his fist at the sky, abandons his path, calls the Divine, when mankind
claims
that his life is not fair, that there is no justice in the universe
because of what has occurred, he does not comprehend or take into
account that
that has gone before that has led to this point or that that will
follow it that will eventually resolve and heal that which has come
to pass.
Mankind judges too quickly, too harshly and with too much arrogance.
They believe that they know and understand, that their morals, that
their virtues, that their laws define the nature of their reality
when they
do not. They believe they have all the truths, all the perspectives,
they believe that they have weighed all the facts, all the relevant
details but they cannot, for many of these details, these facts,
exist in previous
incarnations stored in the Akasha, stored in the consciousness of
the higher self, of the murderer, the terrorist, the rapist, the
victim.
Stored in the higher consciousness of the rich, the famous, the successful,
the entrepreneur. Mankind cannot possibly condemn or judge another
person, an event or situation because they do not possess this knowledge,
because
they do not perceive the pattern that has led to that one tiny, single
moment in time.
This of course implies that religion, that society, that culture
and convention, that civilisation and community have got it wrong.
That the
rules that they apply, that they teach, are irrelevant, that they
have no true presence or function within the world. And this is true.
These
rules serve a function. They outline a basis of behaviour. They strive
to maintain order and a sequence of community and society that is
constructive and positive, that encourages growth and love. But these
laws, these
rules, they are illusionary, they are limited, they are finite, irrespective
of their supposed source and in time they will be transcended, they
will be transformed, they will be changed. Ultimately not to the
detriment
of your world. Hopefully not to its destruction. But the society
of the future will be a very different society to the one in which
you live
at this moment in time. Things that you now would consider to be
heretical, obscene, antisocial, will be acceptable, comprehendible,
the norm. And
because of the ascended perspective, because of the altered state
of consciousness that mankind will at one point in the future achieve,
they
will be closer to living as eternal beings. No longer shaking their
fists at the sky. No longer judging or condemning, no longer believing
the
universe to be unfair or unjust but rather seeing the pattern that
flows from one period of time to another, from one incarnation to
another,
the pattern of energy that dictates the nature of the now.
And so, how do we live in the now? What course do we follow? How
do we make sense of what has been given? Of what has been said? How
do we teach
our children to be? How do we ourselves act and react to the world
around us? The answer is simple. Right action is an energy which
flows through
everything. It is the voice of our conscience. It is the silent and
invisible will that guides us to do right, to abide by convention
and transcend
it. To listen to the laws outlined to us by our society and community
and to resist them. To acknowledge the teachings that have been outlined
by our parents, by our teachers, by our religious leaders and to
transform them. It is the ever-changing. It is the ever-present power
and force
of the Divine Plan that underpins and underlies each and every thing.
Every person has the capacity to sense the flow of right action.
To divine for themselves that part of the Divine Plan that they are
to tread, that
they are to manifest and bring into being. Each and every person
has the capacity to feel it and know it and express it and become
part of
it or to resist it, to work against the stream, to try to oppose
the manifestation of the Divine Plan and presence on Earth. All we
have to
do is to listen, to pause, to be still, to go within into the temple
of our heart where the voice of the soul can be heard. To feel what
is right and what is wrong, to feel what we should do, what we should
say,
to feel what rules should be abided by and what rules should be challenged,
to feel what we should work towards changing and reforming in our
world.
The world is comprised of many different truths, of many different
views, of many different perceptions of right action, of universal
truth. These
threads combine to create the most beautiful and diverse tapestry.
Eventually this beautiful pattern will be woven into one single thread,
one single
design. But up until that point the diversity of the pattern is part
of the process that leads to unity, truth, the way, right action.
For each individual it is different. This is not and has never been
the problem
with your world. The problem is when this truth becomes static, when
it does not change or grow or evolve, when man in his arrogance believes
that the truth that they have been given, that they have stumbled
upon, that they have created, is absolute rather than comprehending
that nothing
is absolute until the point of unity, until the point of enlightenment
and ascension with the Divine.
We must then, you must, be true to yourselves; you must listen to
your truth, to your guidance. You must find your way, your sense
of right
action. You must be clear in regards to its motivations, in regards
to its ramifications, in regards to its end. And you must live your
life
authentically, standing within your power, exercising your truth,
bringing forward your piece of the Divine Plan. Manifestation within
your universe
in your eyes is slow, divine law, divine justice, right action, more
so than many other things. Those who radiate darkness out into the
world will at some point in their existence experience that darkness
threefold.
Those who commit crimes, who express themselves inappropriately,
flowing against right action, causing harm and pain to others, create
karma that
they will have to reap. There is no action that does not create an
opposite and equal reaction in the world. It is simply that sometimes
these actions
are much slower to manifest than you would imagine. Everything has
a function. Everything has a purpose. It is just difficult sometimes
for
mankind to ascertain it, for mankind to see it. In order to do so
you need not to judge it but to feel it and recognise within it the
power
of truth.
I am the Archangel Michael, I am the angel of justice and truth and
I have come to give you this message in order to help you contemplate
why
your world is as it is at this moment in time. Why seemingly there
are people who commit atrocities and do not pay for their crimes.
Why the
rules of your society are changing. Why the nature of your reality
is so different from what it used to be and how to live within it,
how to
choose right from wrong. And so to that end here is a small prayer
to remember and to say when you are confused, when you find it difficult
to see the course of justice, right action, the Divine Plan, the
presence
of the Divine or when you do not know what you must do. Focusing
your energy upon the heart and opening it, simply say these words:
“ Divine Source of light, open my eyes, open my mind, open my heart. Let
me see that that can only be seen by you. Let me know that that can
only be known by your mind. Let me be strong and true. Let me flow in accordance
with right action and do what must be done in order to contribute
to your plan. In love and light and peace let this be so.”
Your world is a beautiful one and although there is much darkness,
much sorrow and much pain there is still much joy, much beauty and
much love.
If you are to become the people who you are meant to be, you must
allow more of the essence of your divinity to shine forwards. You
must release
your judgement and start to look upon the world with the eyes of
the Divine. Go forth blessed and protected by this angel’s
light. In love and truth let this then be so. So mote it be. Amen.
