(Concluded from Part 1 above.)
Whether we’re so afraid that we forget about divine protection or not, it is there. (1)
But let me turn now from foundation principles and primary values to remind us of the promises of protection made to us, which we may forget at a moment of maximum fear.
Let me restrict myself to Michael’s promises around “death” because that’s probably our chief concern – or what lies behind our chief concern.
I believe these promises apply to all angels here (and that would be all of us).
Once Michael said:
Archangel Michael: The dying piece is neither here nor there. You know that I would lift you up very rapidly and take you home, joyously. (2)
Not just me, folks. Everything he says applies to you as well. For all of us here in this generation are angels. And that realm he takes us to is beyond the dimensional world. (3)
And here are the Arcturians saying something I would not have expected and still marvel at:
Steve: I have no fear of death. I have a fear of torture.
The Arcturians: Well, you don’t have to have a fear of torture because if you have no fear of death you can just choose to die and then they can’t torture you.
Steve: I wasn’t aware I could do that. (4)
OK. That’s also amazing.
I think the Arcturians are talking about a “choosing” that I’ve discussed under the heading of a change of vote. (5) It has to be very deep or it would likely have no impact.
But if I’m about to be tortured, I think the thought of it would greatly clarify my mind.
Michael spoke again and again of his protection. Here are some brief examples. Hear these as being said to you or us acting them out will have no meaning:
AAM: You have not incarnated to be removed, either by inflicted or imagined or created [forces]. [You’re not] in physicality [for] anything less than perfection. (6)
Some will have incarnated with a mission that involves being “removed.”
AAM: You are also creating a platform that is more visible, more present, should we say? The goal is to reach everybody. And as such, you become a target. (7)
AAM: I say this knowing you are fully protected: we want you flying under the radar. (8)
He once clarified that protection wasn’t the issue; being bothered was.
AAM: Because you are in a position of leadership, of stewardship and of trusteeship, you do not want to paint a target on your back.
Now are you mightily protected? Well, my friend, if I cannot protect you, nobody can. …
So I would suggest, of course you are safe. What you don’t want is to be bothered.
What you don’t want is to be distracted so when you write about these things, and when it occurs (and note that I say “when” and not “if”), write in generalities. (9)
You ask me why I write in generalities? There’s the reason.
Let me end this part with what I regard as Michael’s premier promise, which again I think applies to all lightworkers:
AAM: You have not incarnated to be removed, either by inflicted or imagined or created [forces]. [You’re not] in physicality [for] anything less than perfection. (10)
Yes, we’re clearing the last of our karma. But I know (not just think) that, no matter how it looks, all is moving, with some scenic detours, towards that perfection. (11)

So, to return to our main question, what does one do when the outside world doesn’t provide an adequate focus, a sure enough foundation to guide our actions?
I say one falls back on one’s own foundational principles and primary values – in my case, that I value honoring the spiritual above the physical, having no fear of death, and being in the experience of love, above all else. Until my fear leaves, I face into the storm with these as my guides.
If I didn’t hold to principles and values such as these, I’d founder in the waves of chaos we seem to be in. But they determine for me, whose awareness is low at these times, what direction I fundamentally want to be aimed in.
