This discussion is continued from “The Masters are Us,” Oct. 10, 2025, at https://goldenageofgaia.com/2025/10/10/the-masters-are-us/ . My questions are fictional; the answers are factual.
Steve: You told us you come from Source. In how many places are you appearing at this moment?
Archangel Michael: I have the capacity—we all do; and when I say we all do, I mean the mighty ones, the archangels—we have the capacity to bring the fullness of our energy to many, many, many, and yes, if you wish, millions—and millions!—of places simultaneously.
It is not bilocation. It is not multilocation. It is the ability to be present fully and completely where we are called, where we are required, where we wish to be. Because I am always connected – also infinitely – to the heart of One, and I am always infinitely in this moment with you, on the radio [An Hour with an Angel], fully connected to you.
Do I give you the entire full blast, the full presence of my energy? As you know, there are days when I will give you more and I will give you less. I modulate it according to what can be handled.
But, make no mistake, my beloved brother, and every listener upon the planet. I bring you the fullness of my being the same way I can simultaneously bring it to your brothers and sisters onboard the Neptune [Mothership], or on Arcturus, or Venus, or how I can bring it to a mother who is trying to protect her child in a war-torn country.
So, yes, it is beyond human understanding, but nevertheless, it is the gift that we have. It is a beautiful gift that allows us to do the work and the service that we have committed to. (1)
“As you know, there are days when I will give you more and I will give you less. I modulate it according to what can be handled.”
I’ve said that the Mother, our archangel, and our guides can and do modulate our enlightenment experiences. (2)
Two of my experiences, in classical enlightenment theory, are considered the first enlightenment: the heart opening (in Buddhism, stream-entering; in Hinduism, spiritual awakening) and the sight of the Self at Xenia (Self-Knowledge). (3)
The heart opening seemed unmodulated but the sight of the Self was definitely toned down. And the Mother explained that it was so that I would not go off to meditate and finish the job, leaving my soul contract with a “Good luck, everybody!” (4)
When I experienced Brahmajnana or God Realization, as well, it was also toned down. (5) A golden river flowed over my eyes as I lay there in meditation and emptied into my crown chakra. But there was no bliss! It was like watching a movie. A dazzling sight but no elevation to a new height, whether temporary (which would be Brahmajnana) or permanent (which for us would be Ascension)!
Now, here Michael says it out loud: “I modulate it according to what can be handled.”
If we want to talk about enlightenment, let us strip the mysticism from it: Our angelic guides, since everyone on Earth at this time is angelic, (6) work with us to dispense light to us in doses that we can take and that won’t have us abandon our soul contract.
We don’t often find the Company of Heaven talking about this subject but lightworkers, who are following the path of karma yoga or service, work in conjunction with the higher realms on the matter of their enlightenment.
I maintain that we’re given as much as we need to do our job. For example, I’m given a heart opening earlier than most on the planet so that I’ll write about it, as I promised the Mother I would do eons ago. (7) And I DO write about it. I can’t stop.
This is us Michael is talking about, if we think of angelics broadly as a kingdom. I bet I’ll need to say this over and over before it sinks in: Everyone on the planet at this moment in time is angelic. Hello, fellow angels!

Sri Ramana Maharshi explains how a heart opening can be temporary or permanent. The permanent heart opening we call Sahaja Nirvikalpa Samadhi:
“[The] Heart is the seat of Jnanam [enlightening wisdom] as well as of the granthi [the knot of ignorance]. It is represented in the physical body by a hole smaller than the smallest pin-point, which is always shut [the closed hridayam or heart aperture].
“When the mind drops down in Kevalya Nirvikalpa [samadhi or Brahmajnana, 7th chakra enlightnement], it opens but shuts again after it. When Sahaja [Nirvikalpa Samadhi, Ascension] is attained, it opens for good.” (Ramana Maharshi in S.S. Cohen, Guru Ramana. Memories and Notes. 6th edition. Tiruvannamalai: Sri Ramanasramam, 1993, 96.)
Steve: Was the sight of the Self at the Xenia retreat a fourth-chakra event?
Archangel Michael: Yes, it was.
Steve: So it’s possible to have two fourth-chakra events or maybe even more possibly?
AAM: It is possible to have multiple chakra events throughout your lifetimes, sweet one. Again, what you are thinking of is a limitation. Something is activated or not activated. Think in terms of open, open, open, open, bigger, bigger, bigger. So yes, you might have several events. You should have several events! (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, June 12, 2019.)
(4) Steve: The experience at Xenia, Mother, was that truncated?
Divine Mother: Slightly, yes.
Steve: I had the thought [it was]. … The Light I saw should have been brighter than a thousand suns. The fact that it wasn’t suggests to me that the experience was truncated. …
DM: It was not is brilliant as possible, let us put it that way.
Steve: Alright… And again, the reason is to keep me in sync with my readers?
DM: To keep you in sync with your readers. But let me be very clear…. If you had seen the light as it actually is – yes, a million, billion suns – you would have simply departed. …
We don’t mean die but you would have departed the life that you have designed – yes, with us – for yourself, for the service you are providing – you would have departed and simply said, ‘I do not need to do this. I will just simply sit in the bliss of love and good luck, everybody!’” (Divine Mother in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Oct. 26, 2018.) (Hereafter, AAM.)
(5) Steve: [Emptiness of mind] was followed next by what appeared to be the kundalini completing its circuit at the seventh chakra. Is that in fact what happened?
Archangel Michael: Yes. …
Steve: Hmm, interesting! Ordinarily you would experience Brahmajnana at that point but I felt that it had been muted, toned down.
AAM: When you use the term “dramatic enlightenment experiences” [as I did earlier], you are talking about Nirvana. You are talking about the unity of all with One.
It is not to say that you will not experience that, but you cannot (well, you can if you wish; it is a choice to) simply remain in that state of unity, of One, or be fully conscious, in service, in action….
So, it is a toning down, if anything. It really is the middle ground. …
You know that enlightenment is right there in front of you. It is yours to access.
But if you are in service, you will not choose to live there. …
You can think of it as keeping two feet firmly on the ground. (AAM, Feb. 14, 2012.)

(7) Divine Mother: You have chosen long long ago with Me, with Annastara [my twin flame], with ME KI AL, to be a communicator and an agent of change.
You have said to me, “Mother, what if they forget? I will remind them. I will communicate with them through words, through my passion, through my heart, through my knowing. I will communicate the love to them.”
This is your task and it is a task of change as this planet, in this great chaos, in flux, chooses, yes, by this wonderful instrument of free will, as they choose and as you choose to simply be the love. (Divine Mother in a personal reading with Steve Beckow, April 30, 2019.)
