Angel Connections
Here is a place for messages from those man has called angels, archangels and such. The messages are offered for reflection and preach no singular denomination of religion, as spirit belongs to all.

"Dear Ones,

"There has been a shift among the energies which will be welcome once some inner work has been accomplished. Your many relationships have been shown to you of late and it is time to see that the difficulties you may be experiencing are yours to mend. Some relationships will be mended by words, some with deeds, some with revelation, some with release. Some relationships are with friends, lovers, family and other close people. Others relationships are with less known people, business contacts, community workers, sales people and on. Still other relationships are with other than human beings. Some are animal, some are mineral, some are plant, and others still are the material objects that have come into your life either through your own hands work, or that of others.

"Do you see how interwoven they all have become in your lives? There are mental constructs surrounding these relationships. There are emotional constructs penetrating these relationships. There are spiritual constructs attached to these relationships. Pull on one string and you find it tied to another which is tied further to another and knotted in many places. Seek to release one matter that is obstructing your progress along your life’s journey and you find it tied neatly and tightly to another matter that you have not decided to release. Can you untie it from the matter you are prepared to release now, or is it too much time to sit and untie it or investigate whether the other matter can also be released? Are you likely to release the whole lot of it without looking at the other matter? Do you think you will truly release it if you do not know what it is or how it is attached to you? If you do not truly release it, then have you truly released the first matter?

"We ask you these questions not to confuse or intimidate you but to show you why the coming times are meant for deep introspection. It is time to look deeply within yourselves and see the many relationships and how they support and obstruct you. It is further time to look at how you use each relationship to support yourself and hold yourself back.

"Lift your hearts, for this is not a dark task. There are treasures to find and some to rediscover. As the cobwebs of perspective are brought to scrutiny they are surely to be brushed away to see the true contents of the boxes they cover. Once dusted a bit, relationships may shine anew. Some may be released when realized to no longer be of regular need. Some may need mending. Some may be brought back into the living quarters to display once again, or even for the first time.

"Be careful not to hoard that which is not needed. A relationship which is being released may be given that release with love and gratitude. It has served a purpose. Perhaps it will return anew somewhere down the line. Let the memories be light and supportive, or release those as well.

"Do not rush to these decisions. First we suggest looking to the needs of one who is drawing within. Look to your space to see that it has comforts and warmth. Be comfortable with your space for you will spend a long season there. Be not hurried or pressed in any way. This will come with effort and discipline. Allow the energy to flow as freely as possible and know that the flow will increase in the progress of the season. Bring warmth to the space for the season of introspection can be outwardly cold. Inner warmth will serve you well as you look through the attics, basements, sheds and many storage spaces of your life’s relationships. This is introspection, not hibernation. There is much work to be done within.

Bring for yourself a mirror into which you may see yourself in each relationship as well. When you find yourself listing long and many problems you see in the other of the relationship, know that you may not leave yourself out. Blame is convenient, but it serves no use in sorting through the tied strings. Not even blame of your self will untie the knots. Only Love will create the nimble fingers needed to sort through it all. Love yourself first for you are the one you are spending this time with. The strings are all yours. Where they are tied to others, this is done with your permission. Energy spent in endless, actionless analysis delays the job at hand. Analysis can further tie the strings. Instead, follow the strings to where they lead without judgment. With loving detachment from the many relationships discern what is truly before you. Only when this is done will you know how to proceed. Only then will you know whether this is a relationship to keep or discard. Only then will you know what needs mending and what needs a bit of polish. Only then will you see your treasures and understand what the detached Love was for. Detached Love is infinite. It holds no judgment, asks no apologies, holds back nothing from the other of the relationship. Detached Love is merely Love without the strings. You may call it Unconditional Love. No strings attached.

"As the season wears on you will find the use of the warmth. It will get you through some difficult revelations. You were never asked to be perfect. Perfection is sterile. You were asked to be you. You are blessed. That is so much more than perfection. It is where Life grows. Take those difficult revelations and sort the treasures from them, like sifting the gold from the sands in the River of Time. This is a time of Prospecting for You. You will find You are the treasure. This is not a statement of ego. It is a statement of Joy. You are your Treasure!

"The coming season of Introspection will bring you to a warming season of Renewal ahead. As you bring fire to cleanse the old discarded strings, the season of Renewal will shine upon your new space. Remember there are many relationships in your life, and not all are human relationships. Let the season of Renewal find the discarded strings transformed for all involved, budding into new and supportive relationships.

"Caution: not all will choose to heed this call. Those who choose to brush this time aside to keep busy in the old patterns are serving to show you the outcomes of that choice. Some of the outcomes will be immediately obvious and others will reveal themselves in time. It will be tempting to place blame upon those who hold the old. Do not place blame. Yes, everyone has the choice available to make. Yet, until some, and then more choose to enter the Season of Introspection, the strings you hold may well be the ones holding the others in their old patterns.

"And know that one Season of Introspection may not completely unravel your ball of string. You may need to return. But do not be tempted to remain beyond one season at a time. If there is more to see, it will wait. Some unraveling will need the help of others to see and accomplish, therefore one must exit Introspection with the Season of Renewal in order to continue upon a path. This is not a short cut upon your journey of Life. It is a way to proceed along the way. Use it wisely. Find peace within.

"There will be more to say, but for now, prepare for your Season of Introspection. Prepare your space, your mind, your heart, and your relationships. Gather what you need for comfort and warmth. Prepare yourself to go within. Then go. We will meet you there."
