A friend who was having a reading with Linda Dillon asked if I’d like to ask a question. I asked Michael for any updates in direction and some of the things he replied are rattling around in my head.
Michael: It is a time of new beginnings, of fresh starts, of taking a path both within and without….
To truly explore. No, this is not just a journey of your heart. This is not a journey of [only] your soul or your mind. It is the integrated expression. It is the truth of the experience of your yearning. It is the blossoming of your ability.
Do not be afraid, sweet brother, of departures. You know full well that your life has been filled with departures. … (1)
Let us begin a new adventure. And let us begin together. (2)
OK. “New beginnings, … fresh starts, … taking a path both within and without.” “Explore.” “Do not be afraid … of departures.” “Let us begin a new adventure … together.”
Remember as you read this: All of us work with an archangel. We’re either one of the legions of Michael or of another of the Mighty Ones. So read this as if he were speaking to you, which he can easily do. And probably wants to do. He’s not a hermit.
The whole reason I share these excerpts from my readings is that not all people can afford them or think they’re meant to have them. I’ve had readings since 1975/6 (not all recorded unfortunately). And they’ve always explained events to me or steered me in the right direction. (3)
Back to what he said. It’s the word “departures” that caught my attention here. It’s left up to me to examine my approaches and see where departures might occur. And I’ve been doing that since hearing from him.
And I feel as if I’ve been staring at the answer the whole time and have just not been willing – for one reason or another – to acknowledge it.
The departure – and new paradigm – is this: The Third Dimension is characterized by linear thinking; the higher dimensions are characterized by flow.
I know this from experience. When I’m in transformative love, which Michael has characterized as Seventh Dimensional, (4) if I treat love as a stationary object, I feel nothing. But if I respect the fact that love must flow and is by its nature a flow, then I’m immersed in a wave of love as it passes up from my heart and through me to the rest of the world.
I experience love as it flows through me. I believe the same could be said of all divine states. I hesitate because I’m not aware of peace as a flow. And I can’t just turn a switch and get back there to find out. Later perhaps, but not now.
Bliss is definitely a flow and uplifts us. As an aside, bliss carries us to a higher vantage point from which the answers to our problems are obvious. We call these “realizations.” They’re simply obvious conclusions reached when we see things from a higher perspective.
The flow of love inside the heart is endless. Of it Michael said:
AAM: What you do when you bring the love up and out, when you begin to send, to share – it is as if you have in fact activated what we call the wellspring. The visual you may think of is the volcano.
It is not that you empty out. It is that you discover that that wellspring is SO full and overflowing that it is a steady stream. That steady stream does not ever, ever (think of what I say!)… it never has to cease! (5)
It never ceases. We’re never going to run out. Love will always flow. The best things in life are … eternal and ever-flowing.
So love, bliss, and the other divine states, which are the most delightful and profound experiences we could hope for, are ever flowing and will be available to us forever upon our Ascension.
Love and bliss flowing, I think, determines that all beings living in that setting also flow. The fact that the tsunami of love that flows on the higher dimensions sweeps our cares and fears away makes flowing easier. All obstructions are removed.
So structure, function, process, and pattern – or linearity – is the paradigm of the Third Dimension, but flow – or what I once called “dynamic balance” – (6) is the paradigm of the higher realms.

Reading with Vancouver medium Irene Griffey, Nov 29 1979:
The inspiration of thoughts and ideas has grown [I wrote my first book in 1978] and will grow stronger as time goes by in your own progression and expression of your soul.
Your journey has been to give the expression in words and in the written language that many will be able to read and to assimilate. You will be helping to nurture many seeds that have been sown by others and so perpetuate the ring of truth and light of the universal energy.
Go forward in the knowledge that you are beginning to fulfill your path and that the coming year – the new one to be – will see so much that will be accomplished.
And you will be able to recognize the beginning of a new pattern in your life, one that will be tremendous in its works, and also fulfilling to you as the soul. And also let me say, at this time, it will be hard work.
But it will gradually open the floodgates of your own creative energy and expression. We encourage you and you have through your own efforts reached this point in your life.
Betty Sailee to Steve Beckow, March 1, 2009.
You have an intricate connection with the one called Michael and his “Sword of Truth.” Your seeking of the truth is not something you have come to in this life. This “drive” is important and a key to who you truly are. Seek more of this within, Dear Child, for the information is there for you to access when you are ready. Only you will know when this time arrives.
Divine Love through Suzanne Spooner to Steve Beckow, June 3, 2011.
Being the organizer of great teachings is your purpose. You give a platform for the students of ascension & the guides, teachers, & masters of the golden age.
These have all been true guides.
