The Archangels Tell Us How to Best Deal with Adversity
Amazon’s Prime Days were this week. I bought a few things, but I didn’t go overboard. I got a head start on Christmas for the grandkids and pitched in for a birthday present for my mother-in-law, got a few journals for channeling that were on sale, but otherwise, not much. I remember at one time, when I was dealing with the loss of my husband and parents and feeling pretty miserable, I charged up a lot of money for retail therapy which, of course, didn’t help a thing.
There’s a whole lot of anxiety out there with the upcoming elections and what many perceive as threats to our democracy, and I see so many people looking for an escape, however temporary. Some choose retail therapy, some choose last minute vacations they really can’t afford, and others try to find comfort in drugs and alcohol. There’s nothing new here. People have always struggled through difficult times, and most have tried to save their sanity in a variety of negative ways. I asked the Archangels to offer some guidance in terms of dealing with hardships in positive ways, and their response follows.
Question: How can we channel anxiety and unhappiness into something positive and avoid false or temporary comfort that often leads to even more problems?
Answer:
The short answer is to face the good, the bad, and the ugly in your life and in the world with the realization and security that you can overcome it all. Things like overspending and overindulgences stem from fear that life is full of threats and danger that you will not be able to overcome. It is the desire to find pleasure while you can, because you believe it will not be available to you in the future. Also, it is gaining the ability to differentiate between real, lasting happiness and false happiness that is fleeting and often adds to life’s problems. It is looking for happiness in all the wrong places and not knowing that real happiness must be generated and found internally, rather than externally.
When people search for happiness externally, it is a sign that they need to spend more time developing and accessing happiness internally. Outside sources can be helpful as you seek true joy at times, but they are unnecessary once you find the inner joy you already have.
This sounds like philosophical nonsense to many of you, we know, but we are dedicated to helping you tap into the internal, vast resources at your disposal, and we ask that you continue reading with an open mind.
You were created with elemental Love in light, rather than darkness, and the Light came from the Creator. This is true for every soul. You are beings of light, and you were always meant to continue in that Light and Love. It is a natural occurrence of your creation, something you already have within you, but of which your human consciousness is not always aware.
So, the process needed to re-find this joy and light as a human being is to make a connection with your soul, as your soul is already aware of this internal light and joy. It is realizing that you need not seek love, acceptance, or worth, because you already have it.
This is where some religious beliefs fall short. Some people are taught that they can earn eternity, happiness, love, forgiveness, and other rewards such as these, when in fact, all of you have already been given these things. There is no need to earn them through practices of any kind, and they can and will never be taken away, regardless of what you do and how you live your life.
Each of you judges and views yourselves and each other critically, with reservations. We wish to tell you that your soul knows this is unnecessary and erroneous. Souls know the Creator and all of creation views them through a lens of love and worth. All souls are valued. All actions are forgiven and viewed as learning opportunities. All souls already have eternal life.
While it is true that human life is temporary in the physical sense, everything you learn and experience, and everything that makes you the conscious person you are continues after the human physical death. You do not lose yourself, you simply add more to who you are and to what you know.
You do not have to earn a place in the universe, as you feel you must do on Earth. You already have a place. It is yours always and was given to you as a gift when you were created. You are known, you are accepted, and you are loved. There are no conditions, requirements, mandates, or strings attached. It is your birthright. Whether or not you are aware of this, it is still a fact, and it exists as surely as you exist.
Whether or not you find love, joy, hope, and peace on Earth from other people, they exist, and you can find them within you. It is a process to move them from your subconscious to your conscious mind, and the best way to do this is to connect with your soul, so it can be shared with you by your higher self.
Simply sit quietly alone and call on your soul to consciously join you. Acknowledge that you know you are a being of light and loved unconditionally, and ask your soul to help you feel this Love and the connection you have with all of creation. Open to a newer and stronger awareness of this knowledge and feel it fill your heart and mind. Do this as often as possible, and you will begin to access your power and light and all they have to offer.
When people overspend, overindulge, spend time with others who are not good for them, or experiment with things they know can be harmful, it is usually because they see acceptance or happiness or wish to escape from their reality. When you realize that you are already and forever loved unconditionally, accepted, and valued, there is no need to do those things. Next, it is important to love and accept yourself. You can always improve yourself, but do so knowing that you are already treasured by many.
Do not compare yourself to others or try to fit someone else’s standards. Set your own standards. Learn from and experience life as it presents itself. When you continuously want and seek more, you overlook what you already have. You must become aware of what you already possess, the light you already carry, in order to feel true joy.
Many people seek joy through material items that will never fulfill them. Do not invest in things, invest in yourself. When you see your true worth, additional things can add to your enjoyment of life, but they are extra and unnecessary. Your worth is not tied to this world. It is tied to the universe, and if all material wealth was stripped from you, your universal worth and value would still remain for all time.
You all have free will to make plans, set goals, and manifest many things during your time on Earth. There is nothing wrong with wanting and working for more, as long as you are not dependent on outside things to the point of neglecting and overlooking your internal worth. The value gained during your lifetime has nothing to do with bank accounts, prestige, success, or indulgence. The value added has to do with understanding and growth attained from all your life experiences that allow you to grow spiritually. It is the knowledge you gain that allows you to further your self-acceptance and acknowledgement of the essential part you play within the universal whole.
Instead of wishing for escape, work instead towards connection with your soul and the universe. You already have it, you only need to tap into it. When you do, life on Earth becomes so much more enjoyable, acceptable, and easy. When you reach a point where you know you are here to learn and to grow, it becomes easier to accept hardship and to deal with it in a positive way, rather than to cover your anxiety with surface level fixes that do nothing to improve things. Strive to think beyond this life and this world. There is so much more to you and for you, and you are worth more than you know.
We send all Love and Light to add to that which you already have.
Final Thoughts
Since it’s so difficult to have faith in other people right now, especially those in leadership positions, I think it’s time to have more faith in ourselves. The elections are causing so much stress and anxiety, so much fear. We need to consider that whichever candidate wins, they only have a maximum of four years to hold office. It’s not that bad things cannot happen in four years, they can, but most of us are going to outlive the next Presidential reign. Whatever happens, we’re going to survive, and we can overcome whatever happens.
When I was a teacher, every time a new principal came on board, there were always fears and rumors surrounding the new head of the campus. Those of us who had more experience would share with the newer teachers that we would all likely outlast the new leadership, whether he or she was really good or really bad at their job. We just needed to continue to do our jobs, our parts on campus and, if the new person was crappy, we just had to hold on for the few years they remained on board, because it was just a matter of time before they moved on and were replaced with another new person.
Whatever happens, we’ll get through it, as we always do. The best things we can do is to shore up ourselves and to reach out to others and unite against whatever problems arise. We’re all in this together, and if we combine our resources and hang on, we’ll reach the other side eventually. Also, if we remember what the Angels said about our worth and value, and the fact that we are loved unconditionally already, and if we think of this life as one episode of a much longer, eternal life, I think it’s easier to make it through.
Happy Friday, and I hope you have a very happy, worthwhile weekend and remember that you are already held in high esteem by many, including the Archangels. If you have the time and inclination, please consider joining the Angels and I, along with others, for a group meditation with the intention set for truth and transparency to be revealed to all of us, individually, collectively, and to include all people on Earth. The Angels will collect all that loving energy and direct it to where it’s most needed, included ourselves.
Blessings, all.
