"Reach out in respect and Love. Reach not in servitude, nor charity. If you reach down, you fall. If you reach up, you are dragged. If you reach across, you share whatever load needs carrying. This is the form we offer you. This is the form foretold many times. Those in the Light will see this form as foretold. Those in the Dark will see what they choose to see, for that is their choice. It is not for the Light to tell or direct the Dark any more than the Dark needs tell or direct the Light. These are but perspectives, for All are of the Light. Know this, respect choices, and follow your Heart."

- Archangel Metatron

"This passage is easily interpreted in many ways, depending upon who is hearing it and what part of their paths they are walking. Some will not see it at all. Others will see it and dismiss it as fabrication, though their hearts may call to them to listen. Still others will see it as vindication for their greed and hoarding ways, for this calls to cease charity and servitude. It is fitting those who would call for increased self responsibility, otherwise interpreted as ‘take care of yourself’ victimization. Willing victims will take this as more food for their victim status and choices. Some will then see this as a flawed message, for it would counsel individuals to be selfish and uncaring of the strife seen in the lives of others. See how the interpretation is dependent upon the perceptions of the individual receiving the message. All messages are received in this way. Hear what you want to hear, do what you want to do and disregard the rest, for that is where you are in your path.

“Yet if one would consider beyond the self, one might discern other possibilities. Look again at the passage. It asks that you not reach to your brothers and sisters in servitude. This speaks to you of the need to see first the glory in your own life, that you would not serve another in a manner that is less than the one you would serve. How can this truly serve? If you are below or less than the one served, you have little to offer that your brother or sister can value. It may be seen in this way that servitude shows the lowest human being, both in the one who would set another in this Light and take that individual’s least services to themselves, and in the one who would offer their least selves in service to Humanity. This aspect of the human perception has been long in understanding in Light. Look about in the many places in which the practice of servitude continues, even where it is said to have gone. Be not a slave or a servant seeing all as more than you, for you are then hoarding your higher qualities from your brothers and sisters.

“The next call is to not reach to your brothers and sisters in charity. This speaks to you of the need to see the glory in the lives of your brothers and sisters. If you see them as less than yourself, you are not looking closely, for all are the Creator’s creations of Self. What part of the Creator are you deeming as less than the part that is you? So much is taken for granted that does not have a full ring of Truth. Those you would see as less fortunate make judgments upon your brothers and sisters that you cannot fully defend. Yes, their choices lead them there. Yet also do your choices lead them there, as do the choices of their ancestors and social orders. Look closely at this for it also says that your position is cast not only by your choices, but by those of your ancestors and even the choices of those you would deem less fortunate. Do you know fully how you came to be in the position you find your life to be? If those you deem as less fortunate make different choices as you would counsel them to do, would it change your status in ways you defend against? It is often said, ‘There, but for the Grace of God, go I,’. Do you not think that in the Grace of God, if one goes there, so do all go there, for all are parts of the whole that becomes that God? Must the entire body of God in human form be submerged in the fires to finally say that the human form of God is burning?

“It is many times said that all are One in the eyes of the Lord. How best then can any one part serve the whole of the body human? By working at less than it can? By seeing itself as more fortunate than others? Or would it serve the body human to see all parts as vital and worthy, serving each other to the best of their capacity and seen in their truest Light?

“Perceptions of servitude and charity can only continue with will from both the servant/slave and the servant/slave keeper or trader. Both create this situation together, not as punishment, but as lessons. Neither the servant/slave nor the keeper/trader can see the greatest Light while encasing themselves and each other in limiting costumes of fear. The servant/slave fears their own Light. The keeper/trader fears another’s Light. Both can benefit from freeing themselves and each other from these perceptions. Removing fear from Light can awaken a whole new dawn of understanding. You have shown this to your Creator and your Creator gratefully shows you the understanding can now move forward, for it is understood that all individuals ARE created equally. None are identical, but All are equal, for All are One and One is the Creator. In this perception all are served and all receive service. It is Grace that this is True.

“Now, go and work on the details. That is the purpose of individuals as part of the Creator and All are much Loved in this.

“Your Grateful Messenger,
Archangel Chamuel.”
