Archangel Michael said on An Hour with an Angel:
“Destructive adults, they need the help.
“And that is where your global work comes into play of holding peace, of holding the vision of a world that works for everyone. Of holding a vision where there is not a separation between human beings – that some are good and some are bad, that some are in and some are out.
“Hold that vision. That is the global work at the moment. Hold the vision of what you are desiring, what you are intending, what you are bringing forth in tandem with us.” (1)
I never thought I’d be in a position to utter these words, but I feel capable of holding the vision of a world that works for everyone.
If you’d have asked me perhaps two years ago, I would have said, “No. Not ready yet.” But now I am.
Nonetheless, there is a split in me. I can hold the vision in the quiet, meditative space of my apartment, but when I go out into the noisy street, my conditioning, my fear of losing my space as a hermit/writer, and all other leftover vasanas mean that I don’t live up to my vision. I may be considered by many as grumpy, withdrawn.
In Kathleen’s terms, the inner and the outer do not yet match. That accomplishment awaits me. I definitely sense what that would be like. Jesus discussed it, did he not? When the outer meets the inner, etc.?
Nonetheless, in the quiet and solitude of my lovely apartment, when I feel transformative love or bliss coming up at the sight of the setting sun or the memory of the beloved, I remember that it’s this love and bliss that will have the world work.
And love and bliss are where we’re headed. So I can relax. We can relax. Overall the matter is handled. Gradually, but certainly. As long as the angel in charge of the thermostat remains on duty.
Just think of it! We don’t have to worry about how to make the world work for everyone. The direction the world is headed in will take care of the matter simply in the outworking of things. Hallelujah!
And what will do it is what the Mother calls her “Tsunami of Love.” That continues and continues. We might think of it as the “new normal.”
I’ve actually felt the “tsunami of love.” I called it, at the time, “torrential love.” It didn’t occur to me at first that this was what the Mother was referring to. It was like a flooding river or a rogue wave. It sweeps all before it.
Oh, yes, it’s a real state of consciousness. It’s not just a spiritual wind that blows at a higher dimension, which we don’t feel. It’s a state of consciousness just one flight of stairs up from where we normally are – and many people are breaking through to it now.
Like chicks out of the egg we are. We break through the shell in our transformational moments – in an encounter group or a meditation workshop, say. Or in love itself. (2)
When I had the obstacle in my heart blown out on March 13, 2015 – which is what I mean by a “heart opening,” not an attitudinal shift – I felt swept away in the flood of love that followed. I went in and out of that state for the next six months. Each time I’d willingly drown anew in the Ocean of Love.
Each time it overwhelmed me was like a dam bursting and the resulting torrent of water swept down the valley. That conveys the force with which love takes over the place – sacred love, real love, transforming love.
It drowns everything. Nothing escapes it. Of course all of this is happening in inner space, in feelings and inspired ideas. I’m giving words to the wordless.
We truly are drowned in the deep end of the Ocean of Love, as Kathleen put it. And what one has drowned in turns out to be exactly what one was seeking all one’s life. It’s the treasure in the box that Eckhart’s beggar is sitting on. (3) It’s the treasure buried in the field that Jesus described.
If we’d had this experience, we wouldn’t need to ask anyone to validate it. (4) It would be self-evident and would never leave our memory.
When everyone in the world feels love like that, the world will work. We’ll only do what works and what we do will work. And all of us will feel love like that in our future.

(2) I’ve found it particularly helpful to combine qualities, such as love and awareness or love and light, as a means of encouraging transformational moments. I can think of two spiritual experiences right away (the Silver Bullet and the Flame in the Heart, I called them) where it was the conjuncture of two awarenesses that caused the peak experience.
(3) A beggar had been sitting by the side of a road for over thirty years. One day a stranger walked by. “Spare some change?” mumbled the beggar, mechanically holding out his old baseball cap.
“I have nothing to give you,” said the stranger. Then he asked: “What’s that you are sitting on?”
“Nothing,” replied the beggar. “Just an old box. I have been sitting on it for as long as I can remember.”
“Ever looked inside?” asked the stranger.
“No,” said the beggar. “What’s the point? There’s nothing in there.”
“Have a look inside,” insisted the stranger.
The beggar managed to pry open the lid. With astonishment, disbelief, and elation, he saw that the box was filled with gold. (Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now. Downloaded from https://www.inner-growth.info/power_of_now_tolle/eckhart_tolle_chapter1.htm)
(4) In the first Enlightenment Intensive I did, the master said that anyone who thinks they’ve had an experience should come up to him and discuss it with him. (Trick question.)
I thought I had an experience and went towards the front to discuss it with him and, even before I reached him, he curtly said “Sit down.” I meekly sat down.
Some time later, I did have a transformational experience. I got up from my seat and went outside the hall. I felt no need to go to the front to discuss it with the master.
