Archangel Michael, speaking through Ronna Herman, laid out one of the greatest quandaries that face us as lightworkers in his April 2013 message. he said:
“Many of you came from the lofty planes of the higher dimensions bearing so much love for the Creator that it has been very difficult to adjust to the material world and the physical body.
“You are the ones that have denied all things in the realm of physicality, rejecting material comfort, wealth and desire, as well as the bodily form, in the belief that you could not enjoy or accept the sensations of the physical world and still be spiritual.
“But that is why you came, dear ones. We know you are capable of being pure Spirit—following the Will of the Creator in the higher realms. Remember, your assignment was to cocreate a heavenly Earth and to experience all the beauty and wonder of Spirit in solid, physical form.” (1)
Perhaps I can be permitted to comment on the quandary.
In traditional spirituality, the basic spiritual movement is to turn one’s attention from the world to God – from material pursuits, possessions, and pleasures to the spiritual path and disciplines.
Great masters have been here who renounced the world and all its distractions and valued simply the three feet of ground under their feet, sinking down into meditation until they discovered their essence.
And this has won them a lofty place in the multidimensional world.
And now they’ve consented to return to this Third Dimension to help in the shift we call “Ascension.” And they’ve brought with them their renunciation, dispassion and detachment.
They’ve no use for money and what it can buy. They’ve no desire to surround themselves in comfortable and pleasurable items.
But to build a new world is exactly why they’ve come – why we’ve come, for we are they. And so, many of us are finding ourselves in situations that are at least unfamiliar, often unappealing. We’re asked to deal in money, concentrate on raising physical structures, concern ourselves with the quality of life – physical life – think about relationships, and we’ve focused on nothing but God and the spiritual life for a very long time.
So our assignment, when once we donned this wet blanket of a physical body and forgot our original contracts, is plaguing and disconcerting us. It doesn’t feel right to ask us to seek money, sell our services, create products and promote them, etc.
But unless we enter into the way of life of the community around us, how are we to build Nova Earth with the residents of Planet Earth? Unless we master to a certain extent the ways of life on this blue planet, how are we to assist in the raising of the new Fifth-Dimensional structure and civilization that Ascension is all about founding and whose foundation we came to assist with?
So now as we enter the phase of clearing out the old Third-Dimensional structures and ways of being and introducing the new Fifth-Dimensional structures, as our abilities and perspectives expand, we’re feeling acutely uncomfortable with what’s being asked of us.
Sometimes our wake-up call comes from finding ourselves in situations of lack from which we’re forced to extricate ourselves. Sometimes it comes from encountering new opportunities that open up before us but which we’d never ordinarily have taken. In whatever way it comes, it’s opening us to new assignments which are proving foreign and challenging to us.
And the Company of Heaven at this time is trying to make it clear to us why this is happening and what it is we’re to do, even if it feels unappealing to us. We’re to join in in the founding of the new society of Nova Earth, whether or not in the beginning we feel awkward or uncomfortable.
This work is not a distraction. It’s what we came here to assist with. And learning how to live within a worldly society, at this time, is not a betrayal of our spirituality. It’s a fulfilment of the mission we came here on. We’ll spiritualize it, bringing Heaven to Earth, but we will also build it.
Master builders cannot escape working with materials. And they cannot escape planning and thinking about how to build, where before they might have been concerned with how to deconstruct.
