Like many of you, I’ve been captivated by recent events and have found myself asking: where is our way out of all this? How do we come together when it feels like we’re so far apart?
I want to be clear about something: this space I’m creating is not meant as fodder for political speech. The guides and I can only be effective in transforming lives if we remain neutral—in every sense of the word. But these are extraordinary times, and so I’ve asked the guides to share a message about the world we are experiencing right now.
I’d like to digress for a moment and share why I’m so affected. I was born in the Philippines, and during the People’s Power Revolution—when then-President Ferdinand Marcos was deposed in favor of Corazon Aquino—I was almost four years old. I still remember the exact moment she was ushered into Malacañang, the Philippine equivalent of the White House. To this day, I can recall where I was when it happened: how the television looked, the couch I was sitting on, even what I was wearing as a child. Most vividly, I remember the fear in the adults around me—fear of what would come next in a country already carrying so much pain.
Fast forward a few years. I was six or seven years old when, on an ordinary weeknight, several armed men stormed my parents’ home in Quezon City. They beat my parents in front of me and my sibling. At one point, a man guarding the front door pointed a gun at me when I dared to move. No one was seriously hurt in the end—only money and property were taken—but what stayed with me was not the gun itself, but the fear that overtook the adults. Their whispers that “this is just how it is.” Their helplessness after such a traumatic event. Most consequentially, their resignation that no justice would ever come.
Because of these early experiences, I’ve spent most of my life in awe of American democracy. The contrast I felt after immigrating has made me less likely to take it for granted. When I write about my life story to explain why I do what I do, sometimes I wish I were making it up—but I’m not. My childhood experiences were so deep, so formative, that they shaped me into someone who has always been passionate about what I believe in.
I share these stories to explain why I’ve chosen to digress from my usual writing and invite the guides to offer a message for these times. A message that might help us understand not only where we are, but also where we need to go if we are to see more light in the world.
Seraphim, my angelic guides, will give us a message about what we are experiencing as a collective. Consistent with the convention of the blog, in italics is the directly channeled message as I hear it in my head verbatim.
Seraphim: Good. We have been awaiting for the channel to ask us for our assistance. We want to be clear about something, we love all and we make no distinctions among humans. You are all loved. You are all loved. You are all loved.
So, there is some upheaval on your plane. What is interesting about this upheaval is that it is felt by all. This is part of the problem, not just in the United States where the channel resides, but in many other countries around the world. One side feels bullied by the other, while, believe or not, the other side feels the EXACT SAME WAY. So, there is something very spiritual to be learned here and we spoke of it in the last event and that is the mirror effect of energy.
What is the mirror effect? It is as the name suggests. The external experience you are having is simply a mirror of your internal energy. Do you understand this? So, when you are walking about your day and you see something or someone and you judge, guess what the universe is trying to tell you? Your judgment about that external stimuli is a mirror to your own wounding. So, rather than judge yourself for judging, go on the inner and ask, “In what ways does my judgment reflect the wounding of some aspect of my own self?” You will get an answer and that answer will bring you relief.
What we are trying to tell you at this moment is that there is a lot of judgment being hurdled across the isle. What is not happening, however, is the self-reflection that gets everyone to heal the division and that is to ask what your judgment of the other says about your own wounding. Do this exercise and you will heal.
So, there is an aspect of the collective that wants us to give you a strategy, a roadmap to light. Well, we just did. When you heal, the collective heals. When one of you rises, all of you rise. Do you understand this? It is that there is a sentiment that, whatever side you are in, there must be SOMETHING you can do. There is something you can do. You can heal your own wounding and that will assist everyone else in the collective to heal their own wounding. Why? When you emit light, you attract light in others. Do you see this? When you emit light, you assist others in finding their own light. So, do the work. Do the healing and that, believe it or not, is a grand contribution to the healing of the collective. And, so it is.
