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.

Higher Self Sam-u-el on Sacred Purpose and Feeling Content

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

Rob: Since this is going to be on Sacred Purpose, it makes sense to me that I should channel my Higher Self. This seems like a topic for Sam-u-el.

Sam-u-el: Hello again, Rob. Hello, all. I understand that when it comes to topics like Sacred Purpose, you feel that I’m particularly suited for that, since I AM you, and that makes sense. But of course, I’m able to speak on any particular topic that you have. It does not matter.

But we are here today, and I am happy to have this conversation. And I understand that when thinking about Sacred Purpose, what you are looking for is reassurance, a deeper understanding as to whether YOU are actually achieving your Sacred Purpose, your mission in this life. Of course, you know the answer to that. You ARE achieving what you set out to do.

For you, in particular, Rob, you find yourself in this place of increasing contentment, that no matter what is happening in the world, no matter how chaotic it seems, and as you were explaining before how much more chaotic it’s going to become, you are feeling particularly content with where you are, happy that all is transpiring according to plan. And I don’t mean just your plan for this particular life, but for the unfoldment for all of humanity on Earth at this time. This is why you came.

The events that were long foretold are happening. It’s all coming to fruition. This is why you chose to come, for this time, and it is happening. And you have learned, through all of your experiences, what your attitude should be for this. As you said earlier, do you believe in the Mother’s plan or don’t you?

You are finding that, yes, indeed, the Mother has a plan, and that plan is based in nothing but love. It could not be otherwise.

So no matter how chaotic it seems, hold to that thought, that everything that is transpiring is ultimately based in love. If you cannot see that at the moment, at the time that it is happening, fall back on that understanding: it is all based in love. It is all for a purpose. You may not be able to see it, but that’s okay. It doesn’t require you to fully understand it with your conscious mind. All is unfolding exactly as it should.

Lao Tzu on Being in a State of Contentment

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

[Often when I get together with my teammates to channel, we find that we don’t have many questions or topics to discuss.  It seems there’s a reason for that … and it’s a good thing!  😉 — Rob]

Rob and Teammates: Is it enough to just get together to enjoy each other’s company and wisdom, rather than having to have a specific topic to discuss?

Lao Tzu: Indeed. I would also suggest that the lack of a topic is simply an indicator that you are learning, all of you, to just be, to just take life as it comes to you, without any major issues, without any major concerns, or simply living your life and accepting the experiences as they come, for whatever they can offer you and you are happy to do so. As was said, just taking life as it is, no real issues.

This is a state of contentment. Is this not what you are all after from the beginning? Revel in this. Accept that this is what you came to do. And yes, you are raising your vibration with each and every breath where you have no expectations and you are just allowing life to unfold according to your own plan.

It is you beginning to understand at the physical level what it means to be divine in this physical form. Accept it, allow it, have fun with it. Once you are comfortable in this space, then it is time to explore whatever your heart desires.

I will echo to just trust that all that you are putting out in the world, to the universe, is indeed manifesting what you hope to create through that love, that joy. Whether you ever see that or not does not matter … not one iota! Trust that the love will do its work, just as you intended, just as you had infused whatever offering that you put out with that love will, in fact, achieve its end, achieve the end for the greater good, for the divine plan and your part in it.

And, I feel I would be remiss, or Rob would be disappointed in me, if I did not bring up the idea of humility in the midst of this. All of you here, with all of us as equals — no one above, no one below — all taking our place in the oneness of all. I will say again, is this not what you are after from the beginning? You are doing it. You have done it. Enjoy just being here with all of us, as us.

So with that, I will step back. Go with my blessings and my love.
