[This is a rather long conversation, but, as usual, Archangel Mikael has so much wisdom and guidance to share. And, he may have been talking to (and through) me, his message is for us all. — Rob]
Rob: As always, Mikael is standing behind me, on my left, with his right hand on my left shoulder. I turn to greet him. He is very large, much taller than me, but he shrinks himself down to my size so we are looking each other in the eye. I see his blue.
Mi-ka-el, thank you for joining me. I wonder if you can share some wisdom, some guidance, regarding my question of how do we love others, events, circumstances, when there’s so much about it that is bothersome, that is troublesome. How do we find … not the strength … the focus to remain in order to return to that place of love.
There was a recent posting from the Arcturians about preferring not to use the language, “light warriors.” I agree with that sentiment. Do you have anything to share with me regarding any and all of this?
AA Mikael: Thank you Rob. This is Mikael. While I am known as the warrior, the light warrior of archangels, and I carry a sword and a shield, one must understand what these truly represent. The sword is for cutting away what is not true, what no longer serves, and that ultimately means what is not of love. It is never to be used on another, to cut, to slash, to stab another, but rather, if another is behaving in a way that is not of love, then to cut away that aspect so that that thinking, that feeling, does not encroach upon you. And the sword — I’m sorry — the shield, this serves a similar function of blocking that same energy of non-love.
So, you see, we have no issue with not using the term light warriors. That was a construct and an old way of thinking that was useful at the time. Are we combating darkness? Surely, we are! But it is not in an aggressive way. It is in a loving way. For it is love, the light that emanates from love, that dispels the darkness. The warrior analogy is simply to mean that you must always be on your guard to ensure that in the chaos of the lower dimensions you do not allow the feelings, the beliefs, the thoughts of non-love to enter into your psyche and to take root.
So in that sense, it is defending yourself against an invasion, an invading army, but in reality that invasion only happens if you allow it. You, all of you, are such powerful beings of light that there is no way in creation that darkness could penetrate that. In fact, there is no such thing. Darkness dissipates in the presence of light. The only way that it can encroach is if you turn down your light or turn it off completely. And in reality one cannot turn it down completely, but you can hide it.
Your task now, what I ask you to do as one of my so-called warriors as part of my army, is to remove all coverings of your light, to allow yourself to shine brightly, and in doing so, the darkness will disappear.
