Making an appeal is one of the hardest things in the world for me.
Linda Dillon defines a core issue as something we’d rather die than face into.
I’d rather die than make another appeal.
I see pictures of little boys dancing for pennies on a war-torn street corner.
I’m flooded with memories of all the times I’ve been scammed.
Or all the times my Dad gave me money and then made impossible demands on me as the price of acceptance. It all rushes up and demands to be experienced.
This is definitely a core issue for me.
It takes all my willpower to remember that the Divine Mother and Archangel Michael want us to serve in this capacity. Here’s Michael on April 30, 2019:
Steve: Is there a way that can be found to finance the team without my needing to make an appeal every month, Lord [like adding some zeroes to my account or giving me a bottomless ATM card]? Can St. Germaine do something [i.e., send a prosperity package]?
Archangel Michael: No.
At this time, what is occurring is that people – and you have heard what the Mother has said this day – people are being asked to share. In its simplest form, they be are being asked, not only to share their heart, their thoughts their ideas but the concept of give and receive, of this balance, of this energy, of the ability to demonstrate.
Not out of fear, not out of need, not out of being required but simply to share what they can, and how they can. So, it is the training ground for many, dear heart, for many human beings.
Steve: Okay, as long as that’s the case. (2)
We and other lightworker bloggers, videomakers, etc., provide the occasion, the workshop for us all – who will soon be fueling a global donor economy – to begin exercising our generosity muscle.
Just as we jog for our physical health, so we also now need to start donating for our spiritual health – to exercise our muscle of compassion. That’s in preparation for the marathon of our lives – the Reval.
We’d be bucking a trend. Society at the moment is burrowing further and further into the social isolation that the cellphone especially is promoting. Social contact is troughing – and social caring is lapsing. I tried smiling at people on the street the other day as an experiment. No one even looked at me.
Us actually caring enough to make a donation to something our heart is connected to is distinctly going against this current.
But that’s what we need to do to reverse the river of social isolation that our fascination with modern technology fosters; we need to re-involve ourselves in each other’s lives – and one way to do that is financially. (3)
Folks are in a range of financial situations and we do know that. Many people, like ourselves, are simply trying to keep their heads above water. Please, we’re not appealing for money to you who find yourselves in our situation; only love, which I’m led to believe is much more powerful!
We’re appealing to those who aren’t in this situation but have ample disposable income. If you personally want us to keep going into the future, please consider making an investment in our community
If that investment were on a monthly, recurring basis, we might reach a point where I didn’t have to make appeals. Or I might process this vasana and get to the bottom of it. Yayayayayay either way!
If you have significant disposable income, from a prosperity package or your own source, please consider helping to underwrite this operation and allowing us to do what we do best.
That’s to provide a source of reliable, often-channeled information, guidance and inspiration, and good backgrounders and commentary to make reasonable sense of these chaotic times.
Thank you to everyone who has donated!

In 2015, the Divine Mother told the GAoG team: “You have agreed that you are on, can we say, the receiving end.” Why is that needed? To help people “express gratitude, generosity and unity and to express what is valuable to them.” (The Divine Mother in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, June 7, 2015.)
(3) In 1998, I was warning against the inroads of automation. See “If This is Your Job, Watch Out! (1998),”
Twenty years later I’m warning against the social isolation promoted by the cellphone. I do feel a sense of irony.
