Higher Self Message via April Bender: Divine Wisdom and the Collective Confrontation of Light vs. Shadow

aprilHigher Self Message: Divine Wisdom and the Collective Confrontation of Light vs. Shadow, channeled by April Bender, July 20, 2014,, https://aprilsairings.blogspot.co.uk

Before the resolution and/or reconciliation between light and shadow may take place, first the conscious acknowledgement/observance of the current interplay between the two must unfold, to a certain degree, within individual/collective awareness.

This observance/acknowledgement is precisely what has been slowly bubbling, rippling, and streaming across the 5-7D Collective Higher Mind/Web of Life most intensely the first half of this year (previously outlined as the Sequencing Process) and has lead to now – the culmination period (the summer solstice until the Lion’s gate and beyond) of such conscious confrontation and enlightened reflection of what is, what has been, and what can be, if only a different choice and commitment of expression is made/co-created.

It is the outpouring of Divine Wisdom in which I speak, as received from me, your Higher Self, as well as your soul/star family lineages, which now finds complementary flow/function within your newly empowered Center, higher Will, and expanded field of Vision, all sustained by the life giving pulse of your high Heart and overall co-creative efforts.

For just as you as an individual continue to rebirth yourself anew or to “ascend,” so too does the Collective on various levels (mind, body, and soul). For you and other Warriors of Light serve as the highly powered nodal points across/within the Collective Higher Mind, whose uplifting energy/vibration spurs the whole onward and upward in evolutionary consciousness.

On the one hand, this wisdom is garnered from the Collective Mind and Soul continuously viewing themselves from newly evolved vantage points, (growing and refining themselves into a Collective “Higher” Mind and Soul, if you will), and on the other, it is found in the individual movement inwards towards soul-retrieval, growth, empowerment, wholeness, and the reclamation of Divine Birthrights such as freedom, self-sovereignty, etc.

Which in turn, continues to nourish the further growth/refinement of the Collective Higher Mind and Soul. Divine Wisdom is the understanding and ground of being necessary to look honestly and candidly at all that now exists, in the context in which it exists, and to choose consciously whether individually and/or collectively to continue to feed/perpetuate/energize what individuals/humanity have long outgrown, and that does not serve or empower the whole, such as fear, separation, and oppression. Or to instead utilize the advantageous time/space that you are in to co-create a new ascending evolutionary order/way of being, expressing, and creating together. One that promotes freedom, self-sovereignty, wholeness of experience, unity and equality. Moving humanity from the age of Me to an age of We.

All that I have described are activities/perturbations/permutations that serve as signposts as well as catalysts to the leaving behind of one age/consciousness/way of being and the entering into another. And this is why step-wise revelation and the clearing away of old remnants, untruths, false beliefs, and twisted perceptions one layer at a time, was/is entirely necessary. For as Einstein once said, “You cannot solve a problem from the same level in which it was created.”

Therefore, a new level or foundation, both individually and collectively, needed to be established in order to first seed/envision the new and secondly, to bridge the distance from the old to the new. The latter, the bridge, is where the collective now stands as it actively confronts and seeks to integrate both the shadows of yesterday and the light or promise of tomorrow. The resulting wisdom of which, will continue to enliven, inform, and ascend the Higher Collective Mind/Web of Life and individual/communal experiences woven within it, in the days/months to come.

So all that to say is it no wonder that things seem to be heating/amping up on the world’s stage? As the Sequencing Process continues to play out in full force, shadows will be further revealed, and everything that is “wrong” will continue to be brought to the forefront for confrontation.

The Collective in this case is being prompted to: 1) bear witness and give testament to said revelations of the shadow; 2) rally together in shared awareness (light) to neutralize future shadow expressions, and 3) search for new ways to manifest the wisdom/learnings it is gleaning through such revelations instead of simply reacting to them.

As with countless individuals, the Collective still needs to commit to a new vision or new way of being, and this will emerge through the further confrontation of the shadow elements on your world, and the unifying/rallying impetus that is then catalyzed within the Collective.

The Warriors of Light are asked at this time to continue to hold the line, to whole-heartedly stay in their center/thrones of divine empowerment, and continue to engage in their personal re-birthing processes. For many of you are ready, are simply waiting, for the Collective to finish confronting much of what you’ve already known and for them, or at least a large majority of them, to be ready to commit to the new.

Many of you have already been exploring, and are being given nuggets of divine wisdom concerning many of the 5-7D concepts of tomorrow, such as freedom, wholeness, unity, self-sovereignty, harmony/balance, authenticity, co-creation, inter/inner dependence, not to mention what it means to be human, and how all Life can co-exist in greater harmony.

This wisdom comes to you from your own personal inner clearing, reconciliation, and soul-retrieval work , and this is also why the Higher Collective needs you, the frontrunners, now more than ever during this most vulnerable period of mass confrontation of the shadow.

Therefore, any lingering pettiness, competition, and divisiveness between lightworkers MUST end. For now is the time of gathering, blending, and uniting diverse lightworker energies across/within the Collective Higher Mind/Web of Life, as through this merging process a new more wholistic template, overlay, or expression is formulated/co-created (from the ground up) that becomes the seed or early standard for 5-7D communal living.

In plainer terms, you are being prompted to BE (together and united) the “model” of change (from Me to We) for an entirely new age of human evolution! Therefore stand tall and united in love, promise, and purpose. You’ve got this!

Until next time…

Divine Mother: Not in My Plan?

  • Divine Mother: [I am speaking about] those in … positions where control and abuse of power have been rampant. That will not be the platform [from] which integration of the various galaxies [into the new, interdimensional region of space] takes place. That is not the Plan.
  • I know very clearly, Sweet One, as do you, if it is not [in] my Plan, then it will not occur. …
  • Make no mistake, … Love will win because that has been my Plan always.

The Pattern of the Mother

  • This universe is designed around the pattern of the Divine Mother. What is that pattern?
  • Creation, preservation, transformation = love building, love preserving, love dissolving = inbreath, pause, outbreath = rajas, sattwa, thamas (gunas) = Akar, Ukar, Makar (Aum) = Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva (Trimurthy)

Spiritual Advice in Troubled Times

  • The Arcturian Group explains….

Bring It Back to the Love

  • Beloved child, son of my heart, [Ascension, spiritual evolution] is only about love, about the many expressions, about the many forms.
  • And truly of anchoring and being nothing but the love, in intellect, in wisdom, in sharing, in adventure, in relationship.
  • It can only be [that way] when you continue to bring all adventures, all arguments, all explorations back to the love.
  • (The Divine Mother in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, April 30, 2019; also at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2019/06/01/the-divine-mother-it-is-all-a-journey-of-love/).

Do not Venture Where There is No Love

  • Do not venture where there is no love. Because, if there is no love, then there is no truth. And if there is no truth, there will not be peace and [peace], Sweet One, is the Plan.
  • (Archangel Michael in a  personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, June 17, 2020.)

Archangel Michael: Do not Get Caught in the Drama of White Hats or Black Hats

  • Beloved ones, do not allow yourselves to be distracted, yes, by the chaos….
  • Do not get caught in the drama of white hats or black hats, or good guys or bad guys. All beings are birthed directly from the Heart of One…. (“Archangel Michael: Do not Get Caught in the Drama of White Hats or Black Hats,” Nov. 12, 2019; see here.

Archangel Gaia on Our Mission on Earth

  • Archangel Gaia said
  • “I am now telling you what your mission is on Earth – it is to be an angel on Earth.

  • “What you are meant to do here as a lightworker is to anchor a certain vibration.”

Ronna Vezane ~ Archangel Michael’s Gift: New Age Creed

Werner Erhard on Responsibility

“Responsibility begins with the willingness to take the stand that one is cause in the matter of one’s life. It is a declaration not an assertion, that is, it is a context from which one chooses to live. Responsibility is not burden, fault, praise, blame, credit, shame or guilt. In responsibility, there is no….”  (Read more…)
