Message from the Angels
My dear friends, we love you so very much,
From the day you were born, you have been programming your brain to form your very own model of reality. As much as you share in common with others, each of you has a very unique and personal set of beliefs about how life is, what you can expect in given situations, and what you are capable of accomplishing. This set of beliefs empowers you in some cases and limits you in others. It gives you an advantage in some situations and blocks your happiness in others. The sumtotal of these beliefs creates what you call your "reality."
It wasn't always this way. When you were born, you came in with what our channel calls "basic equipment!" Your body came in programmed to operate, survive, and thrive. It came programmed to extract what it needed from the food, air, and environment around you. You came equipped with a biological "operating system" that knows how to grow, heal, and recalibrate itself. This body is aware of its internal state—its structure, its chemistry, the freedom with which it carries blood, lymph, and nerve signals to every structure and organ. When one area or system is compromised, the body's intelligence begins to recalibrate to repair and work around the problem. The body is even aware of its position in space and time, constantly recalibrating to dance with gravity and keep you upright. You—the soul—live and breathe in a magnificent, miraculous, intelligent vehicle.
And you, dear friends, get to program the vehicle. You get to program your own mind. You get to emit an energy that programs the body. The programming is not something that happens outside of you. There were, and are, and always will be countless external influences, but in the end, it is the conclusions you form about life that determine what beliefs you will adopt and integrate into your own worldview.
If you don't consciously decide how to program your own mind, others will do it for you. You can accept childhood programming as fact, or you can change it. You can listen to what you hear on the news or see on social media and take it in, or you can question it. At all times, through your attention and your intentions, you are programming the mind—and your reality. You get to choose what you focus upon. You get to choose the conclusions you draw from your experiences and observations.
You often say you were programmed as children, and in a sense, you were, but in reality, you were the ones who formed your own conclusions about others' thoughts, words, and actions. Some of you adopted others' views about reality and about yourselves. Some of you quietly rebelled and formed your own conclusions. Some of you considered all you saw and chose what to believe and what to discard. Many of you simply observed for a while and made conclusions only after seeing things repeated a few times. So, while it may seem that the external world programmed you, at a deeper level, it was your conclusions about life that programmed you.
And this is good news because if you don't like the program, you can change it. If you don't want to accept that aging equals decline, you can start to reprogram yourself with different beliefs such as:
"Use it or lose it."
"I grow wiser with age."
"I am kinder to my body over the years."
"My body is trying to tell me something. Let me lovingly listen so it can heal."
We are not here to tell you what to believe, but we are here to suggest that you choose beliefs that feel empowering, supportive of your intentions, and above all, feel like love. The more your beliefs feel like love, the more powerfully they'll affect your reality. And the more you give your attention to what feels like love, the more this attention and focus will support empowering beliefs.
Take the subject of aging, for example. Does it feel like love to constantly repeat to yourself, "I guess I'm just getting older. Things are starting to decline..." or does it feel more like love to say, "I am an eternal being, and as long as I keep the life force flowing through the vehicle and give it what it needs, it will hold up well." Does it serve you, when you are sick, to reinforce the reality that you are sick, or does it feel more like love to say to yourself, "My body knows how to heal. It is constantly recalibrating. I just need to give it extra love and rest, listen to its needs, and the more I take care of it, the quicker it will heal."
Likewise, what feels more like love to you? "I hate people. I can't trust them. I'd rather be alone." Or does it feel more like love to say, "I have internal radar that can sense who is compatible with me and who is not. I don't have to please anyone to be loved. I can be myself and let life sift itself out around me. I can be the loving being that I am and choose to walk away from what is not loving."
Which set of beliefs feels more empowering, more loving, and more expansive? To someone who has undergone horrible abuse, the first set might be the most comfortable set of beliefs in the moment. It might help you find a sense of safety from which you can evolve your inner compass. To others, the second set of beliefs would be more empowering. You get to choose.
Dear ones, it serves you well to feed your mind and body what nourishes them in the moment. You will feel the rightness of a thought, a belief, or even a food in the moment, as surely as you will also feel a repulsion for what is not consistent with your intentions.
Suppose you have an intention to take care of yourself. A friend calls and wants something from you. In the past, you automatically said yes. You learned to take care of others and please them because that's what "good children" did. But maybe you realize you are tired in this moment and are not authentically feeling inspired to assist. You can kindly decline, offer to help at another time, or take a nap and call back later. You get to choose. Many of you would feel guilty turning anyone down, and yet you turn yourself down all the time. This is just the result of your programming... and you can change the program.
"I honor the spirit of life and light within."
"I serve others more when I do so authentically."
"When I take care of myself, I am a gift to life."
"There's no need to feel guilty for caring for myself."
"I am already a good person. I don't have to prove it."
Pick what resonates with you. Write it down where you can see it often. Repeat it to yourself frequently. It takes time to reprogram a belief, but with persistence, you can and will do it, and suddenly what once was uncomfortable will become your new reality.
Dear ones, you are the programmer and the programmed one. You form your own beliefs based on what you see, hear, taste, touch, and smell, and you can change them to suit how you want to experience life.
Reprogramming yourself does take work. There are countless tools, techniques, modalities, and people who will help you do it. And from our perspective, choosing to create new beliefs that empower you, serve you, and feel like love is well worth the effort you'll put into replacing the ones that no longer serve you.
God Bless You! We love you so very much.
