After the Reval, when Michaelangelo & Partners is irrigated, I don’t plan to play a very great role in finances; not much beyond the highest levels of policy.
Archangel Michael said in 2016:
“You are the vision holder. You are the bringer of inspiration. You are the one who is the catalyst and the vehicle, but you are not an administrator.” (1)
In financial matters, I intend for my chief financial officer to make recommendations to me, supported with the arguments pro and con. In most cases, I’ll go with their recommendations.
As a historian, I know that commanding officers who tried to make all the decisions themselves, ignoring their generals, made some really bad ones, some that decided the course of a war. (2)
I’m going to have to keep telling it like it is. “I have no knowledge in that area. What do you recommend?”
I’m going to have to maintain the space required to be a blue-sky thinker. My knowledge of boundary management in the past has not been as great as I’d like it. Now it has to get a lot more refined.
It’s imperative that I offload some things onto Michael. I’ve now reached the point where I’ve turned everything financial over to him. In the early days of our relationship, we discussed it:
Steve: I’ve always relied on divine providence for my living and I’m afraid I don’t know how to do otherwise.
AAM: It will be there when you need it. (3)
In days gone past, angels and archangel ministered to ascetic monks who sat on top of pillars. Stylites they were called. Or the Desert Fathers. Or monastic monks.
Here’s an archangel acting as quartermaster for a householder devotee. Not heard of in past times.
He even used the implicit metaphor of a quartermaster to explain:
“Think of it, if you were in the army, because you are [in his blue army], you would receive regular infusions, whether you were on the battlefront or at sea, or traveling between planets, and it would simply be there. And you would not be spending money on the battlefront, or at sea, or as you travelled from planet to planet. Think of it that way.” (4)
Ministering to householders shows the changing nature of the times. It reflects the fact that we lightworkers are not meant to be ascetics this lifetime; we’re meant to be part of the larger society, the yeast in the loaf causing the bread to rise.
Now I need to repair my fences. I need to arrive at secure but kind-hearted boundary management if I’m going to succeed in what’s coming down the pike. I have to be both kind and firm, another balancing act.
