I am ArchAngel Michael. And I come to be with you at this time, these amazing times that you are in now, they are only amazing if you see it in that way, for there are many across the planet that are not seeing this as an amazing time.
They are seeing this as the, perhaps the end of times, the end of life, as they know it. But indeed, this is the end of life as you have known it. This is the end of the third dimensional expression, the illusionary expression.
This is the time of the new life, the new world, the new world that you are creating.
But you can only create that if you let go of the old, if you let go of the old third dimensional illusionary expression, if you let go of the attachment that holds you to that illusion.
And yes indeed, my friends, it is the attachments that are holding you to it. The programming that leads to those attachments. And more and more, you need to go throughout your life daily, momentarily, every moment, knowing that those attachments are falling away and allow them to fall away.
And I speak now not only of material attachments, but also human attachments to those people, those loved ones that you have been attached to.
You need to let go of all of that. But know that when you let go of those attachments to your loved ones, that does not mean you are letting go of them. It only means you are letting go of the attachment to them, allowing them to have their own path, their own way to go about their lives without you interfering with the path that they are on.
You can certainly be compassionate and loving toward them, but do not stand in their way.
And many throughout the planet are doing exactly that now. They are holding their loved ones as possessions to themselves and they are not your possessions.
They are simply your soul group that are here with you in this lifetime, just as they, many of them have been with you in previous lifetimes and in previous existences to the lifetimes here when you were in other galaxies, other systems, other planets, together with those ones.
And here you are at this time, once again, brought together as old souls coming together once again, and doing what you came here to do. And that is to raise consciousness everywhere, first within yourself, and then to all those that are around you. For that is what this is all about.
This ascension process is not just an individualized ascension process. It is a collective process. This is why you waited, waited from the 2012 time when many of you could have ascended at that time.
You were on that path. You were in that process to do so. But all of you, your higher selves, got together, you might say, as a council coming together and said, no, we will wait. We will wait for our brothers and sisters. And that is where you find yourselves now, on the cusp, near the culmination of this ascension process that you are on, ready to be in that first wave of ascension.
And then once you have done so, once you have ascended, then you are ready to turn back and assist those that come behind you. Just as you are the way showers, the ones paving the way, you are the ones that are going to be taking on the Christ consciousness within you. Just as Yeshua did so and showed the way and that many have shown the way since.
You are the ones as a collective, as a collective planet together, the first ever to have ascended as a collective along with the planet.
You must understand how enormous this undertaking is for all of you and how you volunteered to come here and here you are now to do so, to bring about the end of the old, to bring about the end of the old programming, to bring about the end of the illusion, and to move forward into the new reality of your creation.
And just as you created the illusion previous to this, you are going to be creating the new reality of the Golden Age of Gaia. And just as there was previous golden ages of Gaia of the earth. Again, you are creating the new golden age.
So as always, my friends, trust in yourselves, trust in the universal plan that is at work here and that you are a great part of that universal plan.
All of you together make up this plan. And we, those of you that mentor to you, we cannot do it for you. We can only do it alongside of you, assisting you whenever we can.
And then when you are ready, you will then turn around and assist those that come after you. Not interfering, but assisting them, guiding them, just as we have guided you.
I am Archangel Michael, and I leave you now in love and peace and oneness.
As You continue to move forward without attachment, take hold of your thoughts as much as possible and know that the programming that you have accumulated over many, many lifetimes is in the process of being purged out and in its place will be the new you.
