Watching a potential housefire be extinguished by an unseen hand and “getting” divine protection is an example of realized knowledge

It sure feels like we’re still in the wash cycle to me. (That’d mean we still have rinse and spin to go.)

Or, if you’re a gambler, it feels like someone just threw all the chips up into the air.  (Do I laugh or reach for my sidearm?)

And I see myself worrying.

Oh, boy, here we go. Undoing all the good… etc., etc.

And then I stop. Referring to the three levels of knowledge – intellectual, experiential, and realizational – all of this is going on at the intellectual level.

I don’t have to be here.

I know how to tap into any errant bliss in my field of awareness. I know how to draw the love up from my heart and savor it as it passes through me.

I’m not trying to make the intellectual realm bad and wrong. I myself am an intellectual. I’m saying it’s not all there is and it certainly isn’t the best there is! At best it’s a means to an end. It’s the end that delights.

Meanwhile, I don’t have to sink myself in a sea of worry. Did I not just finish re-editing a book on lightworker protection? (1) Have I not been assured and reassured by Michael and the Mother over and over again? (The book is proof of it.)

My fear is so great that it’s taking me this long to really get protection. Down to my bones.

***

You could say that I have no excuse for trembling this late in the game. I “got” divine protection in 2020 when I just about caused a fire in our building.  Michael put it out and I watched the whole affair.

Well, heavens, how often do you get to listen to an archangel describe what to us is a miracle, a divine intervention?  Where is that quote?

May I cite it at length? It really is most revealing:

Steve: Did you have a hand in putting out the stove fire that I caused on February 6th [2020]?

Archangel Michael: Not just a hand, Sweet One. Now this is an example of when you ask about divine intervention. Now I am not suggesting that divine intervention is always so dramatic, but, yes, this had the potential to be quite a disastrous situation and it would have served no purpose.

Steve: What did you do?

AAM: We simply put it out. [Notice the “we.”] (2)

Steve: Wow. I’m telling you, I couldn’t believe what I’d created. Thank you very much for that! Anything further you want to say about it?

AAM: Yes, dear heart. BE CAREFUL. It is important that you realize [this] because this has been a very simple, yet very dramatic example about how easy it is. This has nothing to do with your returned memory, by the way.  It has everything to do with how to be distracted.

Steve: The call came from Kathleen to come down and give her the book and I completely forgot I turned on the stove. Amazing! That’s a real wake-up call for me.

AAM: Yes, you are living in a communal situation so it is not just your home. It is the community that is within this building that would be deeply affected.

Steve: Thank you.

AAM: You are welcome!

Steve: I also got protection out of that.

AAM: You are mightily protected. (3) It is curious how often we can tell you this but now you truly know. (4)

YES! Now I truly know. It took being saved from a housefire, but I did get it.

And if you haven’t yet had a miracle from an archangel, here! I’ll lend you mine! (5)

By the way, limit yourself to Empirical Materialism (that only what we can see, hear, etc., is real) and all of this goes away.

Archangel Michael goes back in the closet. The Divine Mother is relegated to icons. The sage becomes a nattering old fool. I left university rather than submit to that paradigm.

To return to our main theme, none of this that I just related to you is intellectual knowledge – knowledge learned only by the mind.

All of the miracles were at least experienced – the heavy concrete objects that became weightless, a substance that would have killed me neutralized, electrocution averted, a corrupt building manager circumvented, etc. – and some of them were accompanied by realizations. (6)

The easiest way to lift myself up from the realm of ideas (only) and out of personal chaos is to breathe up love from my heart or capture and embrace a transient wisp of bliss.

I suppose it took an outside world this chaotic for me to realize this. What is the popular saying? Out of chaos comes change?

Not all realizations are major enlightenment events. But they’re still realizations. How enduring and influential they are seems to depend on their strength.
