Time for reconciliation


Triumph will overcome those who bring fear to the world of men, where the love of the many will outweigh the dark thoughts held by some; and indeed, the actions given against those of the innocent. A time has come for reconciliation within your world, in hope that you may join together, hand in hand, to bring comfort to one another and peace to your hearts and to those of your loved ones.


Joy is never felt more so than at this time when the union of man join together to condemn those who bring fear and terror to others. Hold the love within your heart, reach out to those who need you most and allow them to feel that love radiate from your souls and your spirit, this radiation of love will join as one, and hope will be brought once more to your world at this time.


Many ask for forgiveness for their sins and their crimes, forgiveness is always given to those with a genuine heart and a purpose in mind. You must strive to ignore those symptomatic feelings of arrogance to one another, you must strive to ignore those of the dark who call to you and tell you things that should not be heard. Hold the light within your heart and bring yourselves purpose as men and as beings of spirit, for you must hold strong at this time as things escalate beyond man’s control.


Many humorous thoughts will be given as to the situations at hand, but there is no humour in war and turmoil. Joy is the only thing that should bring a smile upon your face, not hate or grievance towards others, but love in your heart, and to demonstrate this love will show your strength and bring you ever closer to the realm of spirit from whence you came. Within this realm there is held a great love and a great union where all will share in peace beyond your world.


Times can be hard for many as they struggle with their day-to-day routines and lives, they find it hard to deal with aspects of life at this time and they see others who condemn them for their weakness, for “why should we give when they do not help themselves?” There is no truth in this, you are born into your situations to live a life, but to be ridiculed and mocked by those of wealth and power was never intended, for their souls have gone astray in their purpose. We speak not of all, but of those who would have an arrogance towards those they regard as ‘lower classes’.

Not all are blessed with gifts of love and a future of promise, for life is a struggle for each and every one of you, and if you are born into the world of wealth and power, then look to those beyond your world to see the truth of life, for this in itself is a lesson to be learnt and your arrogance will only block this lesson and lead to aggravation for yourselves in your soul’s purpose.


We do not wish to mock the wealthy or the powerful, for there are those who bring purpose to their lives and share their love with people. But we must not ignore those who would wish harm to all, their dark thoughts must be smothered and eliminated from your world if you are to progress as a species, as the human race.

A time will come when all will see that men share a common purpose in life, and that purpose is to live with love and focus upon your world, to help your world and to ease your problems, so that others may see there is a better way in a union of life.

We do not forget the birds and creatures that exist alongside you, for you are all the animals of life, whether you know this or not. It is your spirit and soul, no matter what your species, this is your continuation and your purpose, to join together and live in unity.


There is no survival of the fittest, but survival of those who are willing to compromise in their lives to give all to one who has nothing. This has great purpose, not just for your life and your existence at this time, but for your spirit and soul. We do not ask that you empty your purse, but to share equally with other nations your love and your abilities to help them.

Migrants


There are those who clamour at your gates to find freedom and justice within your country at this time, yet they are scorned upon by many of your countrymen as the immigrants of greed. But we ask you to put yourselves in their position, and although there are the few, as in all realms of life, that will make use of the situation, for the majority there is hope that you might welcome them to ease their burdens of life, and in a way you all carry these burdens, some more so than others.

You must befriend your countrymen, you must embrace those who seek purpose in love and in freedom from persecution of others, it is only through your union as man and spirit that these things can be achieved.


The time has passed for many this evening as they relinquish their lives and return to the world of spirit to continue their journeys and navigate the oceans of life, and as these streams of spirit flow, so they will once more gather the energy and the love to continue on in another aspect of life.

Discrimination and ways of worship


You are plagued at this time by disbelief, and many fight amongst themselves as to the correct way to worship those of the heavens and the stars. You must find your way with peace and love, not hatred or discrimination for others in the way that they practice their love and their acknowledgement of God and spirit. You must not allow the darkness to overshadow your lives, but see them as equals, in an equal purpose of love, trying to find their way within life and within the spirit.


You are all blessed with a deep inner knowledge of these things and you are free to practice at will, your love and expressions of compassion. It is up to you how you worship those that you see as being ‘superior beings’, for you are all equal in life, you are all equal in spirit, despite those that say that there are many levels to which you may aspire.

Universal energy of spirit and light


Spirit is not about segregation; it is about the love and the joy of togetherness. It is about taking the knowledge that you have learnt and using that knowledge to help others in the frequencies of love and life. For your spirit is of an energy, a form that is unknown to you, it seems hard to believe that such a thing exists. Yet all life is created of this energy. Your planetary systems and the universes are all created of this energy, and its purpose is twofold, and that is to support you within your lives as beings upon the earth and of other worlds, and it is also there to support you as the spiritual beings that you are, for you are all equally part of this energy, this universal energy of spirit and light.


Do not condemn this man for the words that are spoken, for he merely paraphrases our words, but the truth is there to be seen if you would open your eyes, minds and hearts to these things. It is never hidden and it has never been hidden. The truth will prevail for all within time, and until that time you must carry this faith deep within your heart and know that you are part of something so much greater than your existence at this time.


Times are hard, as we have spoken of, and we see the many who suffer, and it is not just a poor that suffer, it is all realms of life, and it is this union of spirit and companionship, the union of friendship that will assist each of you and support you throughout your time within this life. You must not scorn those who ridicule you and bring you displeasure, for there will come a point in time where they too will wish for this same understanding and love.


Complete your missions in life that you were assigned, and we speak about this as if you are each given a separate course to take, and it is true, there is a course of learning for each of you and your lives are continuation of your spirit and soul. Do not deny this, for it is the truth and, in your hearts, you know this to be true.

Time


Time passes so quickly and time is a frequency in which the existence of many will reside.  There is much knowledge that is not known to your world at this time, and this knowledge should be gained through your spirituality and through your focus. You disturb these frequencies of time as you bring imbalance to your world, but it can be restored once more, as in all things of life.


Knowledge and wisdom are great and they will feed your soul and your spirit, and we talk of you as having a soul and spirit, this is the energy that you hold within, this is the energy of your life that also operates at a frequency of existence. The frequency of colours and of your sight, the frequency of your healing, it is all united and combined and is all from the same source, the energy of the Creator, whose frequency radiates throughout the universes and worlds that exist.


Do not be too desperate to learn about these worlds, for you must establish a frequency of love within your own, of compassion, and of the fellowship of your kind. You cannot run before you can walk, and at this time your nations struggle to walk, therefore, it is impossible to run. There is a moral to this story, and we do not need to explain this, for it is up to you to think about.


Other nations look upon you and they observe your lives in their own way, some of these nations have learnt their lessons and they have advanced to observe life within many other regions of the numerous solar systems that exist. And they use the frequency of time and space to transverse these parallels, shall we say, for the earth as part of your solar system and the solar system is part of the universe, and each universe generates its own energy, that in turn joins to build, how can we explain, a ‘super’ (colossal) body, a region far beyond your reach. This body has no name in your words, but it unites all the universes and generates its own energy, you could in effect call this, ‘the energy of creation’, and yet it extends far beyond this, but can you stretch your imaginations to visualise that you are merely a speck in the ocean of life, a speck in the ocean of existence? (It is appropriate to use the work of the late Vangelis who passed on 17th May 2022, to illustrate our ‘speck’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoW8Tf7hTGA)

The extended hand of friendship


And there are many planes upon which life exists and unite, many are like you, young and inexperienced, and are struggling to find their way. Then there are those of advanced races who watch over such nations as yourselves. They are seen within your sky’s and are deemed as ‘intruders’ for ‘this is not their solar system nor is it their planet’. But don’t do yourselves an injustice by not accepting their existence, for it is an injustice not to accept the extended hand of friendship of another nation, but you cannot extend your hands to others of your own nations at this time, and this is an injustice to all who live upon your world.

You must unite in condemnation against those who attempt to disrupt life and the balance of life, and if you do this and accept that there are greater things than yourselves, then you will begin to learn to walk at a pace and help each other.


Truly, there is such a vastness, an expanse that will overwhelm your minds, but knowledge is learnt through the progression of time, it is learnt through experience and through having an open mind and balance within your lives.

Your souls will pass from this world and you will die as the physical being, yet your energy will live on within this realm that you call spirit, and you will travel many times to many places, and those that succeed are the ones who have brought balance to their lives. Each of you will learn at your own pace, nothing is excluded nor forgotten, for you are a part of that universal energy.


I wish I could explain more of the many wonders and regions beyond your world, (but) I feel that it would fall on deaf ears at this time, for there are many who do not wish to believe, or do not wish to see. There are those that you commune with that are open minded to accept these things, and we will endeavour to instruct you in these things, but it will take time and a measure of love to all.

New speaker

Economy


The economic situation will worsen for many and they will find no comfort in those that exert their power over them. In their demonstrative ways they will demonstrate and argue the points of government in the hope that they might realise the desperate situation in which they exist.


Many struggle with their lives and it does not help to gloat about wealth and power. Those companies, those conglomerates that work in opposition to life, they must stop their purpose (of profit), but how can the common man put the brakes on their gloating?

Disruption and mayhem are not the way


War and deprivation are not the way, they must be shown in a more purposeful way. Demonstrate your willingness to accept a helping hand of those in power who would help, but do not bring dishonour upon yourselves by disrupting your nation and by causing mayhem, that in turn will only affect your own lives. There are other powers to be that could lend a hand and bring down these corporations that dominate your lives, yet they step back at this time, for they do not feel that it is time to show their hand.


The secret societies of your world whisper behind your backs, they do not like what they see in these demonstrations, these actions against them, and it has always been the case in your societies that there have been those who withhold secrets from you for their own purpose and gain.


We have spoken about the unity of the human race and until you find the truth within your hearts and souls, then this unity will always be segregated. How do you get these men of power to listen? What truth can you (speak) that will bring justice to your actions? It seems impossible, yet there must come a time when this frivolity should end and each of you will look to one another for your own personal survival.


Your demonstrations of race and colour are another example of extreme segregation within all societies, you are all the same spirit and soul, no one is above the other. Even in your own aspects of life, the rich man is no better than the poor man and vice versa, it is only through your actions of life that will establish a position within your existence at this time.


Do not expect us to intervene, for it is your path to tread. But for those who fall victim. we will be there; we will be there. Help yourselves to a better way if you can. Amen.

New speaker

Formula of life


There are many ways to explain your universe and your existence at this time. It is true that the energy of your spirit and soul resides within your bodies, but there are formulations of mathematics that can explain much of your world and the reasons why you exist as a physical being, in which your spirit and soul exist. It is the fundamentals of life and they could be as simple as A, B, C or 1,2,3 the mathematics of life are tied in to your very existence. Your bodies make up and structure are ruled by these very things of mathematics. All in creation has a formula of life.


Trigonometry is a way of explaining these things and there are many mathematical formulations that have been found, the chain of molecules that hold together to form your beings are all ruled by the things of mathematics. Numbers are a common way of explaining (these) things, and the numbers in nature can be seen in the leaves of the trees, in the leaves of the plants and the grass. The petals of the flower, threes and fives, are called in your world, ‘prime numbers’ and there is a reason for this. as their pattern repeats many times, in many forms of life. These formulas are discovered very often through mathematical equations, and the same numbers that you see within the petals of the flower also make up your molecular structures.


Your bodies are of this earth, and each life form is of the planet that they were born upon, do not expect to see a miracle of life. Look for these patterns, use them as a common denominator. Seven is another number that should be sought, for it is a number well-known to many.


The fragility of your life and the experiences that you have are all part of a greater equation that can only be explained with time. As we say, time is a frequency that can be travelled.

Go now, do not concern yourselves with the horrors of your world, for in time all ills will be cured, and if peace cannot be found within your world, then it is certain to be found within the realm of spirit, where peace and love reign supreme. Good evening.


Tonight, we have explained much of life, there are many things that many will not understand, yet will understand in a time to come. Unite in the power of love, for this holds the secret of love and peace that all seek within their lives, no matter their species.

Transcript Date: 8th September 2020

We are grateful for the purpose of men like yourself and others, who bring joy by shining the light of love that exists all around each and every one of you.

Tonight we wish to ask if there is a possibility that others may join you in this season of love, take each others hands in friendship and bring them joy through the words spoken this evening. We are here as a presence within your life Michael, to bring joy to others through the words spoken.

Those who cannot accept the words at this time

Have a heart for those who cannot accept these words at this time, for they walk their lives in a ‘meditation’ that is not of focus, but for life and love of family. Their hearts cannot conceive the things that are there before them, their eyes are closed to the world of spirit. But it is the likes of yourself and others, who will open their eyes in a time to come. Do not be despondent at the lack of readership of the words, for that will come in a time to pass.

Bring yourself purpose once more, not with the illusions of life, but with that of the higher realms of spirit, those that you call the ‘Angels’ and ‘Beings of Light’. They have brought purpose to you in the past and will continue to do so once more  as your life evolves as it was intended long ago. True to say we watch over the many, and for the most part they are not aware. A new beginning is to come when men will turn to the likes of you and others of your ilk, to seek out the wisdom and love of spirit and God.

Be blessed in the knowledge that all will be righteous within the future, the words, we hear you think, are of ‘old-fashioned’ and ‘old ways’, yet they still stand the test of time, as does the Lord of mercies.

Souls who have crossed

Today we have noticed a significant amount of souls who have crossed to this side. They wander in the realms of spirit, asking which way to turn, which way to go, and we lead them with the light of love. Some will follow, and as we have told you, some will not. Progression is meant for all, do not delude yourselves of this purpose, for you are all upon a path of learning, a path of love and light.

Grassroots – Beginnings, Past Lives, Akashic Records

Grassroots are thought of as being in the past, yet what is the meaning of grassroots? It is the beginning of new life. When the old life expires, the new one grows and progresses as before. Your grassroots have been long in the making, you know about this through the things that we have spoken of.

Let’s ask one this evening to recount the memories of her life beyond this world at this time. She recalls many things that were spoken to her and in her dreams she will be aware of these things, you have a name and you must surrender it, for she is Valerie. (I was very reluctant to say Valerie’s name as she may feel embarrassed to once more be mentioned.) Complex thoughts you think, you stumble so as not to be interfering within her life and her passage. But we need to speak of these things, for her story is a long one, created long ago, much as yours and many others of your world.

The reason that you are not aware of these things is that each lesson given within life has to be learnt afresh. The memories of the past, good or bad, need to be laid to one side. Each of you has a purpose and this will be memorised within your energy and your strength of love. Each will come to us and open the door of knowledge to see the progression within themselves, much as you would go to your libraries to read a book about your past history.

We have spoken of these great books of knowledge, this library, these records, you cannot recall from your memory, but you know them and they are there to be read by all who would bring focus upon themselves to sit and listen to the words spoken.

You seek out many things of knowledge and we are grateful for your interest and love. Don’t be ashamed of your thoughts when you think that perhaps that this person or that might speak once more, there are many who would stand in line to speak their memories and words to you, but it is not your purpose to sit with them and recount their loved ones of past and present. Your purpose is of another kind and we ask (Michael), for your obedience on this mission in life.

You requested a meeting once more with those of other worlds, you mentioned the Arcturian’s and the Beings of Light who bring peace and comfort to all. We need not tell you that their presence is constant around you, but for this time their words need not be sought, as there is much more for you to understand within the realms of spirit.

Go now in peace, do not be shallow of thought, but bring purpose to yourself and others through the words written.

New speaker

Purpose and Meaning to All

Complimentary words are spoken and we see this as a special gift within your life. Your words are many and are written now for others to see, and although many pages may still be blank and yet to be written, they will be fulfilled in ways that you do not understand at this time.

Your recompense for times past is paid in many ways, yet your truth, trust and belief is commendable. There are many others such as you, but you are an individual amongst many of your world. Those many souls and spirits that inhabit the bodies of creatures of earth, do so blindly, not being aware of many things. Your senses are lost, but your purpose is strong. Do not feel guilt that you may not have completed many things within your life, for compassion is brought to all.

Life is a journey with many twists and turns. Many do not see this as a journey, but as a privilege that should be made the most of at this time.  Princes and paupers alike should occupy their minds with their reason and their purpose, to overlook the things of stateliness or of common good manners to see the purpose within.

Tonight we have asked her to become one with the union of spirit, her accomplishments are many within the world of life. She has brought focus to those in great need within your world, and she passes now at this time, not in body but in spirit to reconnect those avenues of love. Have trust in your heart and faith never-ending, for there are many of  a good heart that withstand the test of time. (Note: We do not know for certain who this paragraph is about but possibly Diana Rigg who passed the night after this transcript?)

Talk not of the things to come, but things of the present, where good leadership and guidance is required by many of your world. They compare themselves as being ‘nothing’ and having a ‘meaningless life’, but there is no such thing as a meaningless life, for each of you have purpose. Your loved ones, friends and family that pass before you do so in agreement made long ago. They compliment your lives as you complemented theirs, they look back, not in anger that their lives were not extended as yours may be, they look back with love and watch over you all, whoever you may be within the world of man.

‘The Walls of Jericho’

Trumpets blow and the walls of Jericho fell. The Israelites screamed with joy and relief that these monumental walls fell. And it is the same with your world today, for your men of power and greed, those with one track minds who only seek for themselves. The walls that they built to protect themselves will fall in a climax shortly. A time to come when people see that the foundation of love has gone for that of wealth and self.

You must become one nation of spiritual beings to see that the present situation cannot be sustained within your world. It will come shortly to pass, that one will be defeated and his power gone. He will not blush to admit the things that he has done, for he sees them as being right and not wrong. There are many like him in your world who wish to succeed and sit in that house, that seat of power.

The trumpets will blow as the people begin to see the truth and the walls will fall, much as Jericho did long ago. Biblical references, but they have reason and purpose, they illustrate how even the mightiest stronghold cannot withstand the will of the people if there is love and purpose at heart.

Those that sit within the centre of these fortresses sit there in absolute thoughtlessness, for their life is all that is important and their need is all they seek. Do not be afraid to speak these words, for all will become clear. We will say this, that it is those with open hearts and minds and true love that will conquer these walls and bring down these barriers that are set against you at this time.

Lovely words you may think, spoken from the heart, but equally wishful thinking. This may not be so, it is up to you people, it is up to you to join and blow those trumpets of love so these mighty walls will fall and an equilibrium will come once more to the world of men and the creatures of earth.

Alliance of Planets

Many watch over you with eager eyes to see what time will bring. They travel throughout the universes seeking nothing more than to help those of other worlds to find their feet. They are dismayed at your present pattern of life, perhaps there may come a time when they will approach and a more favourable situation will be afforded to them. They are ever present in your lives and they are ever watchful for the signs of love and peace within your lives.

Combat your fears, for these creatures are a being of God, they have a different visual appearance, different ideas to yours, maybe even a different language to be spoken, yet the universal language of love can be heard by all. All it takes is focus and that of what you call, ‘telepathy’.

It is not hard to understand that your being was created with love and you all possess these abilities such as telepathy and senses much as the animal world of your earth do. You have lost this ability over the years, through the control of others and their dominance over you, not to think as free spirits, but as slaves to their needs.

We will never issue threats or condone violence, we will only issue love in the hope that the tides will turn once more. Favourable winds will blow and those from other worlds will sail into your lives with great purpose and love.

But who can these beings be? Who are these creatures that would come to bring us salvation once more within our lives and within this world? We have spoken of them before and you know of them truly. The Arcturian race are beings of benevolence, as are the beings of light, but these are only two of many who come, for there is an alliance that you are unaware of, an alliance of planets far beyond yours and your solar system.

Too incredible to think about you may think. Impossible! Nothing more than fanciful thoughts! Yet we say this to you now from the bottom of our hearts, that our being exists to assist your being and your progression of life, for all creatures, no matter where they come from, whether it is your earth or other planets far beyond yours, are all of the spirit of the creator, you all equally share the same spark of life that was begun so long ago.

Do not assume yourselves as being the only creatures with a mind of intelligence, you may be surprised to learn that your so-called intelligence is that of an infant, in your earth terms. You have much growing to do and you must seek the purpose within to follow your lives as ordained before your birth.

Vatican and the ‘Holy Grail’

Truth will be told in verses to be released shortly. The Vatican cannot withhold these secrets for much longer, for there must come a day when their purpose is needed to bring respite to men’s thoughts and the evils that occur within your world. They consider themselves the keepers of the ‘Holy Grail’ and book, yet it is not theirs to hold for their own reasons. These things belong to the world. And the ‘Holy Grail’, the cup of life that was spoken of so long ago, is not an object, but an idea. He brought that idea long ago when he spoke to the many within Jerusalem and that far-off country. His birth was righteous and he brought much love to the world through his writings. Perhaps we should tell you, it could be a thought that the vessel that is called the holy Grail, is that of the Lord Jesus, the son of God.

This is not unreasonable to think. You look for an object, a cup that held the wine at the Last Supper. Jesus himself was the wine, he was the food of love. His cup runneth over, as the Bible says, but he was scorned for his words. Not much has changed. The truth has been brought by many of this world today, including this man, and it is not looked upon as being worthy of a read or digestion of the mind. But a time will come, not in the far distant future, when these things will be required, for there will be much turmoil and mayhem.

Men commit many things, not of the light, for they think that their time on earth is a privilege to them and they will do as they like.

Human Trafficking

Your trafficking, your human trafficking of these days are of slavery, as has always been within life. It takes an open heart and mind to see this, and those who prosper from these terrible things, will only prosper in life. When they pass, they will find they are amongst the poorest of the poor. Salvation has brought all who ask for forgiveness.

We are not repentant for the theological words that we have spoken this evening, put it in your own terms if you wish, but know that there is much teaching held within. Your world has become a place of torment for many but for others it is a beautiful place, depending on your situation. The true wealth is held within your heart and soul. Don’t let these things diminish people.

Amen.

New speaker

Cruelty and despair are often spoken of and the possible new beginnings to come.

Let us bring hope to others as they reach out for assistance within their lives at this time. They cross the seas only to find hostility against them. This great migration of the human race has been caused by the wars of your world and by the slavers who greedily look at them as an asset and not a human being. Will this ever change? Can it be possible for these things to be stamped out once and for all? It has stood the test of time and there has always been these things within men’s lives, the challenges of life. We would like to give you hope, yet we know it would take much to change the world as it stands today.

Much has been accomplished, but more to do

Much has been accomplished recently, the work granted by spirit to others of the Earth, and there is much more to do, and we task you with these many things. You swore allegiance this evening (Michael) and gave an oath that you would work continuously in the name of God in spirit, and so it is that we accept these words and we understand your many trials and tribulations, but purpose will be brought once more. Your life will take a turn Michael, in unexpected ways. Your grief will be much and your sorrow will hang heavy in your heart, yet you know of the reunion to come and the joy and blessing that will be.

So continue your work with our blessing, open the eyes of the many by demonstrating your purpose within the future. We acknowledge that this will be acceptable in a time to come. Do not be ashamed to say that you are a man of true faith, for there are many like you in the world and your acquaintances, your friends who assist and guide, also bring purpose to your life and you to theirs.

Choose your words carefully when speaking to others of these things, for their minds may not be open or ready to accept the many enlightened words, but gradually they will see, and they will come to believe in their hearts that these things are possible, not just through you but through the many that practice their focus upon spirit.

Times will change, we cannot say when, it is up to you as men of the earth to seek salvation within your hearts, but the many who follow at this time will lead others in this purpose.

We are grateful and thankful for you all, and we will leave you now as she calls you. (My dog Schatze, was whining at this point) Be blessed in the knowledge of things to come.

20-11-16 Dark Side of the Moon, Betrayal, Trigonometry, French Elections etc

20th November 2016

The arrows fly high and soar through the sky as if doves on the wing.

Let us bring your attention this evening to a matter of fact unknown to your kind. We have never meant to deceive your nations of love, nor will we ever mislead you on the path of righteousness, but beware of the consciousness that will become apparent in the forthcoming elections in Paris. He will dispute many things of the Labour to bring disruption and a negative will to those migrants in Calais.

27th October 2016

Pamela, she is at your side asking for your commitment to her purpose to assist. Allow your mind a focus and bring a better peace to your world to allow her to share her fortunes of life and of love. She inspires you with words of inspiration, coaxing your energy to that of the positive way of thinking. Your knowledge grows each day in the aspect of light, but we wish to inform that you that cannot continue bringing a purpose to man unless your heart, mind, body and soul are willing to release.
