Receiving – A Lighthouse for the Soul

Personal Guide Malia on Making the Prudent Decision to Receive

Rob: I’m in my sacred landscape, just walking along, and I see up on the right the little round, marble, colonnaded temple, where the Font of Purity is. And as usual, the one that I meet there is my guide, Malia. She’s the golden-haired Angel, with wings.

Okay, I’m greeting her, and she’s suggesting to me to drink a bit of water from the font [to] restore in me that sense of purity, our original purity.

So thank you, Malia, any words about prudence … or anything else?

Malia: Good day, Rob. Good day and greetings to you all.

Yes, this is a reminder that you should spend more time coming to the font, resetting yourself, letting all the cares of the world just disappear, coming back to the reminder of your own state of purity. The core of your being is that state of purity, and this font, this temple that you’ve constructed here, is simply a reminder, a way of getting you back to that place, mentally and emotionally, to reconnect with your spirit, and of course, to all of us.

So we collectively suggested that prudence be the topic of discussion for today, although I would argue that it is a topic for every day. Prudence is understanding what you should be spending your time focusing on, discerning what is good for you, for your state of mind, where you are at the moment.

You were reading earlier today about a flower — i.e. when a flower blooms, it faces the sunshine. It doesn’t do anything but gather up the warmth and the blessings of the energy coming from the sun. It doesn’t do any more than that, other than to simply express its own beauty for what it is.

And receiving that energy, that blessing, at all times, this is all any of you need to do — nothing more than that. Just receive. Just open yourself to receive the energies coming in from the sun, from your environment, from the energies coming from deep cosmic sources. It’s all the same.

It’s all coming for you to reset you, to bring you back to this state of purity, of just being part of the grand creation of God and your part in it. You are part of that creation. You are an expression of that creation. So often you allow life to get in the way of that understanding.

So it is prudent to remember to come back to that place, the core of your being, that state of purity, that pearlescent white and just receive the energies. Allow that to fill you up. That act alone will serve to protect you against all negativity in any form that it may arise, for if you are solid in your core, then nothing can touch you.

Higher Self, Sam-u-el, on Receiving While Giving (UL of Give & Receive)

August 31, 2025 by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

[My Higher Self offers a lesson around my use of the mantra first suggested by White Cloud, through Blossom Goodchild: I am the light; I am the love; I am the truth; I am. While directed at my practice, the lesson is useful for all. — Rob]

Rob: So I drew the card on the Universal Law of Give and Receive, and the receive part just jumped out at me, so I assume that’s what we should talk about.

Sam-u-el: Hello again, Rob. This is Sam-u-el, as you know, always ready to have a conversation about anything that you would find useful.

You’ve asked about the Universal Law of Give and Receive, and yes, there’s a reason that the receive part jumped out at you. You are fond, I will say, of offering yourself as a service to others. [It’s] one of your talents. In that sense you give and you give, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Being of service to others is why you are here. It’s your chosen way of expressing yourself and the divinity that you are.

It is true for most people that as you learn spiritual truths, you want to share them. This is not a problem for you, for us. But the receive part of the Universal Law is reminding you that every act of giving involves similarly the act of receiving.

When you do your I Am meditation, you feel it when you say, “I am the love.” You feel that outpouring, that giving of yourself to whatever the object is that you’re focused on. The expression of love IS an outward act for you. It’s easy to envision that as an outward act of giving of yourself.

But the next part of the meditation, in the “I Am the Truth,” you envision through the infinity symbol the receiving back, and you use that to feel the expansion within yourself, as if fueled from whatever that you’re receiving. But you’re not consciously thinking about the act of receiving.

In order to express love to others, one must first feel that love for yourself. So as the energy in the infinity symbol comes back to you, it IS receiving — receiving OF yourself, FOR yourself, within yourself.

Any expression outward is similarly an expression inward. Acknowledge that; receive that.

But then, the last part of the meditation, simply acknowledging “I am,” as you fall back into it, is an act of allowing. That means, not only have you received the reflection of the love that you have sent out, but you are then accepting that, accepting that deep within your core.

Archangel Mikael: More on Charity and Projecting Love

[This message is a continuation of my previous posting on Charity (from my personal guide Malika), but really puts a fine point on the fact that giving is just as much about receiving. Very cool! — Rob]

Rob: I’m inviting in Archangel Mikael. I had a feeling earlier he wanted to talk. The archangels always seem so large to me — I have to look up to see in their face.

So Mikael, do you have anything to share, perhaps why I keep getting the card on Charity?

AA Mikael: Welcome, Rob. Welcome, all. Yes, this is Mikael, Defender of Truth. I come to you today to talk to you as one of my own, for you, too, are a Defender of the Truth, one of my team.

Regarding your question about the card on Charity, we, collectively, keep sending you this card, for there are still lessons to learn. As we often say, there is always more — more to learn, more insights, nuances, that you perhaps haven’t noticed or seen before.

Today, as you read the card, the application associated with it, you picked up on the notion, the idea, that perhaps you should make it a daily practice that as you project the love out to the world, that you not do this so much in a general sense, although there is nothing wrong with that. Your practice is to breathe out the love, imagining it as a wave that ripples out in a circle all around you, out to the world, out to the universe, and that is a fine practice. But now, given your desire to feel, feel more from your heart and to get out of your head, that when you breathe out that love, project it TO someone or TO something.

And as the card teaches, any projection of love outward proceeds as an infinity symbol, such that once it is received on the other end, it is amplified, it is magnified, and that comes back to you. So as you project out the love, concentrate not just on whom you are sending it to, but on the love that is returned to you. FEEL that.

Every act of giving is also an act of receiving. Know that. FEEL that. Feel what is returned to you at all times. This, as a daily practice, as you breathe out consciously to project the love, feel what is returned. This is the next step on your journey of learning to live from your heart.

I hope this has helped. And I hope that it has helped all of you. As you have discussed, many of you struggle with learning to get out of your head and into your heart. Are there any questions at this point?
