Archangel Raphael – A Lighthouse for the Soul

Rob: I’m inviting Raphael to come join us, to come talk to me. So as my teammates and I were talking, I raised the question about why the need for pain, both physical pain and emotional pain. Why is this so prevalent in our lives? It must serve a higher, a spiritual purpose. Help me to understand all of that.

AA Raphael: Greetings, all. This is Raphael. It is always such a joy to join you in this way, in this direct way, to have a conversation directly with you … not that we are not always with you, but it is a bit different to interact directly, directly with your mind, with your consciousness.

We understand your question, and yes, I think you do know [that] the notion of pain, as you said, is a mental construct. The feeling of pain, the feeling of whatever level of agony, if I could use such a strong word, that you may feel is in direct relationship to how you feel about the notion of the pain, [i.e.] what is behind the pain. Whether you feel it physically, or whether you feel it at an emotional level, it is the idea that you give it that causes your feeling of how you feel about that.

For the physical body, the pain is a manifestation of an imbalance within your system, within your physical system. And in that sense, it is a good thing — [it is] just letting you know that there is something that is out of balance that should be addressed for optimal health. There is something there that should not be or not there that should be. There is some imbalance.

Your body sends you these signals to let you know that there is a problem here, something to be addressed and to get your attention. You interpret that as pain, for the pain will get your attention. So again, it forces you to focus on something that you need to focus on.

The same can be true at an emotional level. Something has occurred in your life that is contrary to your belief system about the way things should be. This causes an imbalance. You are fighting against yourself at that point, against your own beliefs, and so you interpret that as a form of pain, as being hurt.

But again, whether you choose to interpret that as painful is entirely up to you. As soon as you change your belief systems about the way things should be, then you will find that that pain subsides and drifts off to become a memory.

So yes, pain is an interpretation of an imbalance, one way or the other.

AA Raphael: Greetings, all. Yes, this is Raphael, the Archangel of Emerald Green.

This is the time of year of the budding of the greenery all around you. I come today at this time of the hope, of the budding of Spring. It is such a time of hope, of, yes, new beginnings. You have all waited patiently through the long months of winter in the chrysalis, ready to take flight as butterflies … or any other creature you desire.

So as you look out on the landscape, wherever you are, take note of the budding green trees, the grass coming back to life, all of it as a promise of new life, of a new creation in its own cycle. And think of me. Think of the healing that that brings, not just to the physical processes involved in that life, but the healing of your very soul [with] the hope of new beginnings.

And of course, with Spring, this is the time of taking action. It’s a time to stretch, to get back out there, and show yourself to the world, no longer hiding in your own homes. And that is particularly poignant for this year; again, this is the year of truth.

So it is time to put yourself out there, to show yourself as the brilliant teachers that you are. And no, I do not mean having to teach in any formal way. You are teaching each and every day with everyone that you meet, whether you actually speak to them or not — just your presence and showing them all what that hope of life looks like, feels like, knowing that all will be well.

You’ve got this. This is why you’ve agreed to come at this time, in this age. We are all here to support you. So go forth with that confidence, knowing that we are all here. How could anything go wrong? There is no such thing as going wrong.

As was said earlier, it is all unfolding according to the Mother’s plan. Yes, each of you and your individual plans are all part of that. You’ve agreed to that long before you came here and set foot into this particular life.

Just feel into your heart, that energy center of green. Feel the life blooming there, starting there. It is the core of your being. Everything that you do, including every thought that you have, emanates from your heart, from that space. Humans choose not to see that, and have actually done everything they can to disconnect from that, but it cannot be true.

Your task is as simple as living from your heart, living from that space, feeling your way through life, and having fun with it. None of this need be serious.

Yes, the outside world seems like it is such a serious place, [with] so much bad news, so much worry. For what? It is all unfolding exactly as it should. This is a time of joy, so have fun.
