In this excerpt from An Hour with an Angel in 2016, Archangel Michael discusses the value of (A) telling the truth and (B) having the agreement among our friends to tell the truth to each other.
Although he didn’t mention it here, he has on other occasions added to tell the truth with love. If it isn’t of love, he’s said, don’t say it. Challenging but fruitful.
Steve Beckow and AAM in “Archangel Michael and the Divine Mother: Harmony Between the Divine Feminine and Masculine and Patterning,” July 1, 2016, through Linda Dillon, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2016/07/01/archangel-michael-divine-mother-harmony-divine-feminine-masculine-patterning/.)
Archangel Michael: You know there isn’t a great deal of talk upon your planet, most certainly not enough talk or discussion or practice, of honesty. Yes, you speak of clarity, you speak of transparency; but the honesty with your sacred self, and of course there will be days when you don’t feel like stepping forward, you don’t feel like being in the middle of the parade, and you certainly don’t feel like looking for the lost lamb.
And those are the days you should stay home and rest, or go out and play or eat ice cream. There is nothing wrong with that. But, I am not going to digress.
This honesty … is the foundation. Yes, we know it is of love, but let us be practical. And you have talked about this, all three of you, and many of you who listen to me this night.
You have to be honest. Yes, you have to be honest with each other. That does not mean ascendency. That does not mean that your honest opinion transcends or has authority over someone else’s opinion or experience.
You do not “honestly” get to translate what someone else is experiencing and going through, be it be a core issue or a broken heart. But, what it does mean is a community and a community of Gaians that does not live in fear or false illusions of what is polite or politically correct.
To honestly say, “I am observing this. I feel this,” you are not declaring that the person has to alter their behaviors. But what you are saying is given your frame of reference, whether you have been beheaded in every single lifetime, you are creating a new community where it is safe to express how you feel, what you observe.
And there is no charge about whether it is accurate, correct or incorrect. It is permission that you are freely, joyously, granting one another so that you stay on track and that everyone stays on track.
Dear Steve, this should delight you because it goes back to your roots of the “growth movement.” (1)
Steve Beckow: Definitely! What you’re saying absolutely tickles me. I wanted to add that if one did this, what you’re talking about, if one spoke truthfully after a vasana [core issue] goes off, [it’d be like] “I am triggered, I am angry, I don’t know why I am angry, it probably has nothing to do with you, but something’s gone off.” That is the answer, isn’t it?
You know, the truth will set us free. Even if we haven’t the whole truth at the moment, we’re getting there, and we’re getting there, and we’re getting there and experiencing more and more release. …
AAM: You are getting there. The truth is perhaps bigger (and I am not even talking about our frame of reference) than even in the human realm. The truth is also bigger than any of you initially suspects. But when you have permission – and it is a tacit and an active permission – to express one’s self, … when you honestly are truthful and honest with yourself and each other, the truth emerges, the core issue dissolves. And the joy and the love re-emerge.
SB: Right. And we don’t do that right now. Instead what we do is we try to look good and say things that might have an effect on the listener. It’s got nothing to do with the truth; it’s all a manipulation.
