The Generosity of You, Being You

Ailia Mira: Channeled Message from Archangel Michael
& the Council of Radiant Light



Hello, Divine Ones,


We greet you in love. It's good to be with you. It is good to have these sweet moments of connection, of acknowledgement, in which you open up to who you truly are and collaborate with us. Moments in which you are considering, and shifting, and adjusting, and becoming attuned to points of view and thought-forms that open up even further your divine flow.


Expanding upon your capacity to be yourself fully and freely is a very generous way of being. We want to talk today about the gifts of that generosity so that you really understand how beneficial it is for All-That-Is, that you be you.


You are an essential and vital part of the Oneness that is. In your coherent, clear, harmonious unity of spirit. in alignment, you emanate the frequency of the divine as you for all to experience. In that, the Oneness that is becomes more available, more available for everyone.


There is tremendous beauty in your fulfilled presence, tremendous. The gift of you being fulfilled is that each and every person you encounter can experience the truth of their being more fully, because all is One. Each of you is in the All, and the All is in each of you. When each of you or any of you are fully, freely here, then you give to each other a possibility for knowing experientially, energetically, and perhaps even consciously, more wholeness.


Do you notice how beautiful harmony is? That's something that's pointing at what we're talking about. Diversity makes harmony possible. It takes the uniqueness and distinctness of different things combined to create harmony.


Do you notice how beautiful it is to feel satisfied, to feel fulfilled, pleased? This is what we're talking about here; that feeling state where there is ease, and a sense of perfection of it, and it being everything, the moment, now. That's fulfillment.


You can experience fulfillment while you're sitting still or while doing something. While being, or doing, or having anything, you can feel more or less fulfilled. You can feel degrees of fulfillment. Fulfillment is a state of receptivity, and the more receptive you are to who you truly are flowing, the more fulfilled you'll feel.


In a sense, being really fulfilled is a willingness to flow.


It's availability, energetically. It's your receptivity, or your availability to understand and follow your spirit. It's a mental state, too, that could be viewed as capable of hearing, and often is kind of calm and open. You can be calm and exhilarated at the same time.


Fulfillment is open to you based on how much alignment you're fostering in the moment. You could think of fulfillment as you open to the fullness of your being and open to the world. It's you as the Divine, flowing. Or the Divine as you, flowing. <Smile>


Fulfillment is you empowering yourself, your embodiment, to be a vehicle of that flow. When you empower this flow, you are a fully cooperative component of Creation. You create this expression of you, as you do everything, with your attention and your point of view.


As you cultivate the sovereign and aligned state that is the best state you can be in right here, right now, you bring forth the most coherent, clear, elevated, full expression of you that you can emanate right here, right now.


That most fulfilled expression you're capable of, that's your leading edge. That's the leading edge of your embodiment. The more momentum you move to that leading edge, the more the leading edge expands.


You're capacity for fulfillment is far more than you're even able to experience in your best moments right now, because the territory opens up and widens as your capacity grows. This is really something that we don't think most of you have considered yet.


You have a sense of what's really fulfilling, what's really satisfying, what's really pleasing, but what you may not have thought about yet is that there's a lot of fulfillment available to you far beyond that. Levels and experiences of fulfillment far beyond that. Because as you empower yourself to live at your own leading edge, more and more in states that are expressing your greatest capacity right now, you start to expand what that capacity is.


This is what happens energetically: your body attunes to that momentum, and that capacity to be in higher-frequency states grows.


Recently, we talked about bringing your “A-Game,” which made Ailia laugh, the idea that we were using terminology like this. Really, it's just about being your best self, and your best self is a continually-moving thing.


What your best self is, right now, is a degree of expression in relationship to where you are. So what you're capable of being as your best self in five minutes is based on where you are now, and what degree you can move your consciousness in in those five minutes. We want you to realize, all of this is about a continuum of flow, a continuum of alignment, and the more you are in steadier states of better alignment, the more your capacity increases, and the territory for the potential of your life opens up. This is a very powerful idea.


You create this. Understanding that you do so with your attention and your point of view helps you to realize that you have the ability to show up, moment to moment to moment, in a lot of different ways.
As such, there are many different versions of you. All of them are beautiful. All of them are loved. We don't like one better than the other, but we know that some are more fun than the others, and we know that some bring about things you find fun more than others. All the versions of you are legit. There's nothing wrong with any of them. Each of them creates newness, expands life and is a way of being that you can appreciate unconditionally.


Yes, here, in this amazing leading edge world, where expansion is taking place in incredible ways all the time, you cannot get it wrong, but you can create all different kinds of feeling states and all different kinds of experiences.


Again - all versions of you are beautiful, and whoever you're being right here, right now just is. You don't have to think about it as good or bad. When we say, "Bring your A-Game. Be your best self," we want to be very clear that we're in no way saying it's better, but we know that it feels better, and it's more fun, and you like that. We agree with you that it is more fun, so of course, we're encouraging and supporting you in feeling as good as possible.


You are the shaper of that flow. You determine the version of you that you are in any given moment. You, only you, determine if you're being true to you or not, and you, only you, can even know if you're being true to you or not.


You determine if you're following your spirit, more or less. You determine if it's getting better and better, or more of the same, or going down the drain.


You create your momentum, and you can always feel how it's going. Your feeling states are always indicating to you how it's going. You can choose within every moment what you amplify, what you give your attention to. You can either give your attention to something that starts to lift you up, or you can give your attention to something, and you can feel it right away, starts to feel less good.


Whatever you're feeling is what you're emanating, and whatever you're emanating is what Creation is responding to. Whatever momentum you've got going and are putting your attention on is developing not only the future version of you that you are being as your life unfolds, but the experiences that will show up. No one can know this but you. No one can steer your life better than you. Only you know what feels right to you.


This is why learning to feel your inner sense of what feels right and learning to trust yourself, and to allow yourself to get practice to taking the next step that feels right, and to learn to do and be in ways that feel right is so important. Because it's absolutely essential for the aspiration you hold to live a wonderful life.


What we love so much about what's happening now for you is you're really starting to put all of this together. You're starting to integrate your spiritual experiences - those profoundly beautiful and moving inner experiences of all that you are and All-That-Is - with a truly meaningful orientation to your most beautiful and immensely-valued humanity.


Consider this moment, and possibly decide that you might be open to the fullness of your being and open to the world, that you might express the unique perfection of you in ways that give you joy.
Yes, yes, we say it again. Yes, we encourage you, Divine Ones, to spend a little time considering today's transmission thoughtfully. Sit with your heart open, and feel into all that you are, and see how you feel as you consider all that we've said.


Are you willing to be who you truly are, here? Are you willing to empower that energy that is you to be clearly and fully present here, and to have your life more fully reflect the truth of your being?
Do you wish to come into harmony with your own eternal vastness, and if so, will you allow your embodiment to be a true expression of who you really are?


We say yes! Even so - it's up to you.


We are complete.


We are the Council of Radiant Light with Archangel Michael.

THE ORACLE REPORT: Friday, May 13, 2016


www.oraclereport.com/

9:40 am ET ADDITION: 
Suggestion for musical accompaniment (classical) for today's magic carpet ride. 


Barber's Adagio for Strings:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CcflwUYYoXk


First Quarter Moon Phase:
step out of comfort zone; take action


Moon in Leo


Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Tara, Goddess Who Guides


Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Ian, God of the East


Skill: be receptive to signs and synchronicities


True Alignments:  liberty, leadership, admiration, respect for boundaries, prepared, integration of new insights and information, synchronicities, new approaches, spiritual inspiration, shining stars, abilities and efforts recognized


Catalysts for Change:  control issues, conflict over territory, difficulties with interpersonal relationships and communications, aggression, violations, naïve, propaganda, ruthlessness, base level instincts and impulses, cutting someone down, not listening, domination


Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a symbolic battle between swords and torches" (the might of light to rectify)


Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending the outworn ways, beliefs, and feelings of the past)


If you missed yesterday's report and the Friday the 13th energetics portended today, it remains posted here.  Adding to that, here are other things to keep in mind:


1- GETTING A MESSAGE OR INFORMATION - The conjunction of Venus and Mercury (which is retrograde) attempts to deliver something important to us.  Since Mercury is retrograde, the message or information may come about due to something going "sideways."  If we can hold judgment, the insight we need is available. 

Communications may become muddled or confused.  Patience is required with this type of astrological aspect.  The conjunction occurs at the degree of the New Moon in Taurus, our current lunar cycle, with the accompanying Sabian symbol of "a symbolic battle between swords and torches," so things are coming to light.  It is an aggressive dynamic, and, in this case, can prompt sharp tongues and ugly words.  We want to transcend this tendency, and keep things aligned with Light.


2-   STANDING UP/CLAIMING ONE'S "TERRITORY"/CLAIMING ONE'S SOVEREIGNTY - The Sun's discharge of "an Indian warrior riding fiercely, human scalps hanging at his belt" is paired with the Earth's discharge of "crowds coming down the mountain to listen to one inspired man."  The messages and information that seek us today provide guidance and inspiration.  Both symbols carry themes of power.  It's "take charge" energy.


3- HUNG UP OR CAUGHT UP IN A PROBLEM OR WORRY - If your mind has been on overdrive, it is a good idea to try to suspend that today, and allow a higher power to intervene.  The Crescent Moon phase ends and the First Quarter phase begins at 1:02 pm ET/5:02 pm UT.  The struggle of Crescent phase fades somewhat.  Open up space for solutions.


4- REVISIONS TO VALUES - The messages or information that the Mercury-Venus conjunction offers may change what we feel is important -- what we truly value.  Things are seen in a new light.


5- TRAVEL DISRUPTIONS/ACCIDENTS - Take extra care while driving today.  Be present.  Give wide berth.  Road rage and risky driving is prevalent.  Take your time and step aside from the fray.


We are blessed to be under Mars' dissemination of the Sabian symbol of "an old owl up in a tree."  Up in a tree, transcending what's happening at ground level, may be very wise today because the magic carpet ride will twist and turn.  We come to a new place by the end of it, but it is certainly a wild ride with these energetics.  Align with light, and in the midst of it all, remember to find beauty.


Let's reclaim Friday the 13th from the shadows of darkness.  Let's turn it inside out and make it about luck and life, not about stuck in strife.



Thank you for supporting The Oracle Report!

Weekly Forecast: December 21 - 27, 2014 ~ a message from Kelly M. Beard Saturday, 20 December, 2014



Weekly Forecast: December 21 - 27, 2014 ~ a message from Kelly M. Beard

Saturday, 20 December, 2014

Weekly Forecast:  December 21 - 27, 2014

12/24 ~ Mercury (connection) ~square~ Uranus (intuition):

This energy provokes a lot of mental stimulation! If you are naturally flexible, this energy tends to make you get bored easily; if your are NOT naturally flexible, prepare to be aggravated. Relax if you can. The Universe may decide to remind you that YOU are NOT in control. And the more stubborn and inflexible you are, the more it will let you have it! Either way, it will be a fast pace. You will have electrical flashes of inspiration. Keep that going, but anything you begin or get into, be sure to check over the details next week as they will not be your priority this week. This week is for creative planning - next week you can figure out the logistics.

12/25 ~ Mercury (communication) ~conjunct~ Pluto (in depth):


This is an intense mental energy, deepening all thoughts and/or communications.  You may find yourself obsessing over something, either by yourself or in an attempt to share your point of view with another.  Superficiality will not be tolerated today.  You are determined to dig and investigate till you get to the core or base issue.  It's good for soul-searching when it's a genuine desire to know the truth, rather than evade it.  It's not so good when you're obsessing over someone or something which no longer serves (your Highest good).  The challenge with this energy is the tendency to "know" you're right, when in fact, you are not.  Your intensity is capable of influencing others but be aware of the difference between sharing information and trying to "convince" someone of something.  This can cause some opposition.  Remember, this can also be the opposite, where you're on the receiving end of this intense energy from someone else.  The best way to use this energy, as it doesn't really last that long, is to turn that intensity toward Self, peel the layers to YOUR own Truth and Purpose.  The channels are open for a time and you can communicate and receive information from the deepest part of your Soul.

12/26 ~ Sun (identity) ~sextile~ Neptune (vision):
More sharp intuition available this week. You are able to step outside your Self and see how others' needs are important. You may feel the urge to be more giving and understanding than usual. This is also a good time for spiritual development. It won't be enough to merely know something, you will want to know the "larger" meaning. Your energy may be naturally low, that's an indication that it's time to focus more inwardly.

ONENESS OF ALL: Arcturian Group message ~ by Marilyn Raffele September 14, 2014


"Greetings dear ones. Once again we come to offer encouragement and information to assist you on your journey toward enlightenment--the realization that you are so much more than you have been led to believe. You are Divine Beings created in and of the spiritual substance of Source (Consciousness) and as such, are capable of manifesting the wholeness and completeness of this Divine Consciousness. The third dimensional consciousness does not allow one to remember who they are since it functions from the level of duality and separation. Man has thus manifested for himself lifetimes of struggle and pain with a seeking outwardly in the belief that he was separate from his good.

Oneness is the profound secret of life, a secret that many as of yet are totally unaware of, but that many are now awakening to. Where better to hide the Sacred key than within, for only a spiritual adept would think to seek it in the last place the third dimensional consciousness would believe it to be. Even many of those who still grasp tightly to old and finished concepts are gradually coming to understand through personal strife, discouragement, or even great accomplishment, that the outer trappings of "success" do not bring that inner sense of completeness they seek.

Some who have actually achieved "success" in the third dimensional sense discover that there remains still an inner longing for "something" and in ignorance seek it through the use of drugs, alcohol, sex, and attention getting actions. However, there are now on earth successful and famous people evolved enough to see through the hypnotism and illusions of questing for happiness in the outer and who purposely incarnated to serve as examples and teachers for those who admire and seek emulate the famous.

To seek within at first seems to be a daunting task--foreign and difficult simply because the world has not been taught to seek within. Mankind has instead been taught and so has lived out from the belief that the brain and intellect is where all answers lie. Lifetime after lifetime through ignorance, seekers of truth, knowledge, solutions, and even just guidance have looked for the answers and information in the outer scene--to "experts", religious leaders, governments etc.

Mind is an avenue of awareness; translating and manifesting from your attained state of consciousness The mind can only access what is already known personally or is floating around in the world's consensus consciousness and therefore in order for an idea to be new, it must flow from deeper levels. True artists are aware of this and often attune to their deeper levels within, not realizing this to be a spiritual activity.

The use of drugs or alcohol is prevalent in the lives of many creative people because they believe these things are necessary in order to access this deeper creativity. The fact is that they could easily access those already present deeper and more creative levels through meditation and inner spiritual growth, while avoiding substances that only serve open one to negative energetic situations.

How exactly does one get answers from within? The whole idea discourages many sincere seekers because at first it seems impractical and impossible. It is not like a radio that you can just plug in (although with time it can become somewhat similar). The process begins with trust and meditation. The discipline of quieting of oneself enough to hear the still small voice--moving beyond the busy, plotting, planning human mind must be practiced. Preparation could be reading a spiritual book, pondering a truth, or a quiet walk observing nature--being ALONE with activities that quiet the mind--no cell phones or partners on your nature walks. Become an observer, but not resisting thoughts that may float through.

Most of you already hear the still small voice as intuition but have not realized what it was. Intuition is how it works for many in the beginning but as you begin to go deeper in spiritual enlightenment, sacred knowledge and information will be received, questions answered, and you will begin to be taught from within.

There are individuals who call themselves psychics and do indeed have the ability to pick up energies and hear information. However, if their consciousness is still fully enmeshed in the third dimensional belief system, this psychic ability will not make them spiritual teachers nor will it make their predictions come true. Predictions are based on the energy of the moment, which is constantly changing. Psychic information coming through a third dimensional state of consciousness will reflect that--information can rise no higher than the channel, author, or teacher's state of consciousness. We tell you this so that you start to use discernment when seeking someone for a reading, spiritual class, or when embarking on a particular path offering enlightenment.

Many spiritually pure teachers of the past taught their students to avoid psychics and anything metaphysical because at a time when most of the world was living fully in the energies of duality and separation, there were those who found that being "psychic" was an easy way to trick the vulnerable and earn a good living while doing it. There remain a few who work on that level, but most now are coming from a deeper place. Your own state of consciousness will guide you to someone of like or higher consciousness when you state your intention to find a teacher or Light worker of a high resonance--you will guided from within. Learn to trust your intuition.

Intuition will guide you regarding the state of consciousness of a teacher, healer, author, or psychic. You will begin to trust when you resonate or not with some book, ads for classes, or someone's energy. Those days of blindly following someone just because they said you should, are finished for most of you. Most of you are now beginning to realize that you no longer need the outer tools because you get what you need from within. The energy of a consciousness less than your own cannot lift you higher, and may in fact lower you to theirs. This is the taking back of your power.

Understand this does not mean you must give up the occasional energy session, classes you may be guided to, or readings from spiritually evolved Light workers when you need them. Let the still small voice guide you--there are many spiritually evolved individuals on earth at this time to adding their Light to the worlds transition through their work of assisting others in these ways. Practice discernment.

Learning to go within before making any major decisions means that you can finally stop running from one human solution to another with no awareness as to how they may be resonating with your energy. Ask your Guides help you. Ask questions and write down those things you sense but don't expect a loud voice telling you what to do and saying; "I can't do it" when you don't hear one because Guides are with you to assist you with YOUR decisions, not to tell you what to do.

The inner voice does not speak in words, it is information, translated into words by your mind. The information may manifest through some ordinary experience that provides the answer you seek. Information flows from inner seeking and receptivity and manifests in forms you can easily relate to.

Divine Consciousness is Self-sustained and Self-maintained and is your very CORE. The realization (not intellectual knowledge) of this is the key that opens the door, allowing Divine ideas to manifest in, through, and as you. Remember, mind translates spiritual realities (completeness, wholeness, abundance) through your attained state of consciousness which differs for every individual. Comparing your experiences to another can limit you because spiritual fruitage is never limited to a certain form.

Do not despair if you make a mistake--if you think you heard your inner guidance, acted upon it and then discovered it to be a "mistake", know that there are no mistakes, only learning experiences. You are learning to discern the still small voice from the ego voice and will find that there is a quiet and gentle sense of "knowing" with the inner voice that is not present with solutions based solely on intellectual knowledge.

Trust your intuition always. Keep your energy field filled with Light, stay centered in truth , state your intention to always be guided by the still, small, voice and you will be.

This is how you live from the within to the without, and not the reverse...
Knowing...That which you seek, you are.

We are the Arcturian Group" 9/14/14

NorthPoint Astrology Journal August 11 to 17, 2014 by Pam Youhans





NorthPoint Astrology Journal
August 11 to 17, 2014 by Pam Youhans



Highlighted Aspects:
TUE: Venus enters Leo; WED: Chiron sesquisquare Venus, Pluto sesquisquare Mercury; THU: Neptune quincunx Jupiter; FRI: Pluto sextile Mars, Mercury enters Virgo; SAT: Uranus sesquisquare Mercury, Neptune trine Vesta; SUN: Neptune quincunx Venus, Jupiter conjunct Venus


PERHAPS in response to the intensity of today's supersized Full Moon, our planetary aspects for the week ahead seem to mostly call for attitude adjustments and a reconfiguration of old thought patterns.

Today's lunation is called a "supermoon" because it occurs while the Moon is at its closest proximity to the Earth (at perigee). So it is not an optical illusion that this Full Moon looks larger than most -- it actually is, according to SpaceWeather.com, "as much as 14% closer and 30% brighter than other Full Moons of the year."

FULL MOONS are always times of great potential, as we have greater access to the treasures that lie hidden in our unconscious and subconscious minds when the Moon is at the peak of its cycle. Light shines into the darkness, and we become more aware of what is within us, as well as what aspects of ourselves are asking to be expressed more fully in the outer world.

Today's Full Moon is especially strong, not only because it is a supermoon, but because Saturn is very closely squaring (90 degrees away from) both the Sun and the Moon. Saturn's involvement in this lunation brings a serious element to the game, and requires us to be clear about our motivations and desires as we decide what our next steps should be.

On top of that, Mercury and the Sun are aligned in Leo in the Full Moon chart. Since Mercury represents our conscious mind, this alignment increases the potential for new, creative ideas to come into our awareness. At the same time, the Saturn square will make sure we maintain our awareness of what is possible, and that we integrate those insights in a practical way into our daily lives.

THE MOST IMPORTANT aspect of the coming week is a quincunx between Neptune and Jupiter, exact on Thursday. A quincunx occurs when two planets are separated by 150 degrees. According to astrologer Bil Tierney, a quincunx helps with "breaking down and removing those non-effectual attitudes that interfere with our ongoing growth."

This Neptune-Jupiter quincunx requires that we interrupt those old patterns of thought and belief that get in the way of our accessing the deeper wisdom that lies within us. As long as we hold onto the old perceptions and interpretations of reality, we will remain in the realms of confusion, disillusion, and frustration.

But, when we consciously recognize how old thought patterns have controlled us -- instead of us directing and being in command of our thoughts -- we start to move beyond those places of discomfort and disharmony. We realize we can think in new ways, that we are not at the mercy of unwanted (and seemingly unbidden) thought forms and streams of consciousness.

ONCE WE TAKE this leap into new consciousness and self-awareness, we can start to take advantage of the positive energies of both Neptune and Jupiter, rather than feeling at odds with what these planets offer.

Instead of feeling disillusioned and fearful, we can start to access greater trust, faith, and receptivity (Neptune in Pisces). And, instead of feeling overwhelmed and over-reactive, we can start to live with greater joy, spontaneity, and confidence (Jupiter in Leo).

WE WRAP UP the week with a Jupiter-Venus alignment in Leo next Sunday. It's good that this alignment occurs on a weekend -- its influence enhances our playful and carefree natures, which means it would be very hard to sit behind a desk and work. (My apologies to those who have weekend jobs!)

That being said, we usually have only one Jupiter-Venus conjunction a year, and their alignment in Leo occurs only once or twice every 12 years, so if you can, plan to take advantage of the joining of these two planets. Allow yourself the freedom to do what you want to do, to be spontaneous, to enjoy the moment, and let go of needing to get work done or be serious -- even if just for a few hours...

Blessings,

Pam

Daily OM ~ June 20, 2014 Softening and Expanding: Being Receptive to What You Want



Daily OM ~ June 20, 2014
Softening and Expanding: Being Receptive to What You Want

by Madisyn Taylor


In a world of harshness, it is time to soften and expand how we go about our life.

In order to get what we want in life, we have to be willing to receive it when it appears, and in order to do that we have to be open. Often we go through life with defenses we developed early on in order to protect ourselves. These defenses act as barriers, walls we needed at one time to feel safe, but that now serve to shut out desired influences, like intimacy or love. So an essential part of being receptive to what we want is to soften these barriers enough to let those things in when they show up. For example, we may spend a lot of time alone as a way to protect ourselves from being hurt by other people, but we can see how this is now preventing us from meeting new friends.

Another obstacle to our receptivity can be our tendency to believe that we have to act aggressively in order to achieve our desired goal. This can cause us to become mono-focused and to fail to see, and be open to, opportunities on the periphery of our vision. So becoming receptive involves a softening of our defenses and a willingness to remain open to possibilities outside our immediate realm of vision. If we are looking for love or friendship, it means first looking within ourselves to see where we are shut down, and second, not getting too fixated on where we might find the love we want. In this way, we become more open as individuals and more expansive in terms of what we see as possible.

Often, the things and people we want to draw into our lives elude us because we are unconsciously blocking them out, either with our defenses, or with tunnel vision that causes us to not see them when they appear. When this is the case, we can take action by exploring and softening our barriers, and expanding our vision to encompass new possibilities. These actions are the essence of receptivity.
