Archangel Raphael on the Reasons Behind Pain

by Rob Loveland, posted in archangels, Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

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.

El Morya on the Usefulness of Separation

by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

Rob: I jotted down several topics a couple of weeks ago, and the idea of separation was one of them. I never really covered that in full detail. And given my team’s conversation about the difference between the masculine and the feminine, it strikes me that that’s just another example of separation. Perhaps we could talk about that?

El Morya: Greetings, all. This is El Morya.

The whole idea of separation, as you well know, is an illusion. It is a creation of the physical realities, the realms of physicality, for in the higher realms, there’s no need for such separation. But it is useful here in the realm of physicality as a teaching tool.

Now, some would have you believe that the separation, [i.e. the] human separation from God, was in some way an act of hubris, an act of rebellion, but this is a false notion. This realm was set up to enable all of you as co-creators, fully endowed with the full creation ability of God, to express yourself.

So life in the physical requires a separation of male and female … well, it doesn’t require it. It serves a purpose. It is useful. Having done so to enable God to experience Himself/Herself/Itself/Ourself through the expression of separated individuals, the difficulty is that you separate yourself from God so that you could see firsthand as a very real experience the laws of cause and effect. The realm of separation, of feeling individual and separated from all others — including time, with one minute separated from the next, progressing in a linear fashion — allows you to experience cause and effect in a very real way.

The notion of being lost and being separated from God is a false notion. You can never be separated from your Source. You live within that energy. You ARE that energy. The illusion of separation comes from BELIEVING that that is your natural state, that that is your real state, and forgetting who it is that you really are.

But the value of relearning who it is that you are, while still in the realm of duality, simply means that you are learning to integrate all aspects of yourself — the masculine, the feminine — and returning that to balance. For God is all things, so all parts that you see around you that are seemingly separate, one from another, are all parts of God, are all parts of that creation.

The Magdalena on Hope

by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

[Since my last posting was Lao Tzu talking about the Balance between Hope and Connectedness, it makes sense to me to follow up with a message on each of those individually — this one on Hope (from Mary Magdalene).  — Rob]

Rob: I drew a card earlier on Hope from the Magdalena, so I’m thinking we’re going to have a conversation with her. Magdalena joins me from my right side. She’s almost skipping — kind of jumping — her way over.

Mary, thank you so much for joining me. You’re clearly in a good mood today. Do you have any messages for me?

Magdalena: Oh yes, Rob. Thank you so much. This is such a great day! I hope you spend the day in a state of joy, for what is there not to feel joyful about? You’re with your dear friends; you’re having a good time; communicating with all of us: what’s not to enjoy?!

You drew the card today of Hope. I would like to say a few words. Hope is intimately tied with the feeling of Joy, for in the feeling of Hope, how can one not feel joyful? Hope is rooted in the understanding that you ARE One, that you are part of the Mother’s Divine Radiance, the part of that Universal Love that animates everything. That knowing is inherently hopeful. All will be right with the world, with your life, with your relationships, your partnerships. It all comes from the same place.

And, yes, as you surmised, it’s all tied together with balance and humility and alignment and surrender and your deepest passions. I embodied all these qualities, and so do you. So do all of you. Go within as often as you think of it, and feel them. Feel each of those. They’re all tied together.

But just as the Keys of Heaven are all rooted in Love, the Keys to your sweet Self are all rooted in Hope, that you are one with each other and with heaven.

Again, I come back to the beginning. How can this not fill you with a sense of Joy with each and every breath? Life is meant to be fun. And it can be, will be, it is, as soon as you accept this — your role in it, in the world, in the basis of your very existence. You are here to be an expression of Joy. And in sharing that with everyone enough, you are then an expression of Hope.

We love you all dearly. And we are so happy for the progress you’re all making in rediscovering yourselves.

With that, I throw you all the biggest hug! With our love, farewell.

Lao Tzu on the Balance Between Hope and Connectedness

by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

[This conversation is a prime example of how easy it is to ask the Company of Heaven whenever we have questions and difficulties which allude us — they’re always there and always willing to help. All we have to do is ask. — Rob]

Rob: Thank you, Lao Tzu, for joining me. I wonder if you can talk to me some more about the connection between Hope and Connectedness, anything that I can use to better explain this connection within the Infinity Keys? It’s always been a weak area for me.

Lao Tzu: Thank you, Rob, for joining me today here in this beautiful setting, this serene setting. You got the card today on Hope; it’s a good theme for this time, this time within the ages of humanity. It should be a time of great hope.

So yes, as you describe it, it is the deep knowing that there is a Heaven, that you are part of it — that we are all part of it — living from the perspective that there is no way to be separated from that state. The card itself talks about being able to pierce through the illusions. That is so important these days. There’s so much that’s going to come to light that shows everyone just how much of an illusion exists within this physical reality.

So Hope is being able to stay centered in the midst of all of that. Archangel Michael often reminds you to stay centered in times of chaos, and as you learned the other day, chaos is really just the state of change. And the big change that everyone is going to have to wrap their heads around is just how much of an illusion so-called reality actually is. So Hope is living from the perspective of understanding the big picture of where you are headed and staying centered. And staying centered is really another term for remaining in balance.

As you know, Balance is the final step within the Keys to Self. It is the top of the loop comprising the self, immediately after Hope. Really holding on to that knowing of your role within Heaven brings you to the point of balance. Yes, balance is centered within your own heart, but it is also the top, the apex, the crown of the Self, coming to realize that the Middle Way is the path to Heaven. But at the same time, Balance is also the base of Heaven, the foundation on which all the other Keys to Heaven rest.

And the whole notion of Hope, why you have that knowing is because inside you know you are connected to everything else. There is nothing in the universe to which you are not connected. You are part and parcel of that same energy. This thought, this belief, this understanding is what brings that hope. It’s the mechanism that allows all of the revelations of heaven to happen. But it’s all based in a state of balance, again, the foundation of Heaven.

I trust that this has helped to some degree, at least to give you something else to think about, another aspect. As you are aware, there is so much within the Infinity Keys diagram that continues to unfold for you, and we encourage you to continue to seek additional revelations. There’s always more.

So with that, I’ll be quiet for a while and see if your teammate has any questions for me.
