This topic came to me during my meditation.
How should you approach an awakening experience? Metatron has asked to facilitate this conversation, while Seraphim and Archangel Michael will assist with guidance.
Metatron: How do awakening experience commence? That is, how does the personality decide to awaken? Does the personality decide or is it something that is known at higher levels of the soul?
Seraphim: Usually, it is something decided at higher levels of the soul, however, like in the case of the channel transcribing this message, it can be elective. That is, the personality can reroute their blueprint to their greater awakening and it becomes so. This is a surprise to the channel transcribing this message for she believes her awakening experience happened to her, however, she asked to clear certain energies so she can hear us, her guides, better and that paved the way to what she believes is her Dark Night of the Soul. It was difficult precisely because it was elective, and she decided she was done with certain pernicious and pervasive energies that was very close to the personality. Personally, we are glad she elected it for in electing the healing and subsequent awakening, she changed her life for the better.
Now, we use her as an example because we want to make a point. Can you ask to awaken? Absolutely. But understand that in that asking, you will be called to heal certain energies that are incompatible with being awakened. For us, as guides, to be able to directly reach a soul, they have to embody a certain frequency, a certain vibration, and often times, that requires healing on behalf of the personality that inhabits the soul. This begs the question, can you always reach your guides? Absolutely. However, a clearer connection, a direct seamless connection, the sort you are seeing in the channel that is transcribing this message, that often takes a bit of work by way of healing.
So, now, how do awakening experiences commence? Well, one way is elective. You can ask to awaken, and we have been up front with you that this may require deep healing on your part.
Another way is what Metatron has alluded to in the question, which is that you are in agreement to it at higher levels. These sorts of individuals usually awaken as young souls, either as children or young adults or also as older adults. It is all baked into the blueprint because the soul and the personality that inhabits it is guaranteed to clear what needs to clear for direct connection to occur. Is there healing involved when it is decided at higher levels? Absolutely, there is always healing involved, however, it is usually baked into the blueprint of the soul so it is often much less awkward, we would say much less unexpected by the personality that inhabits the soul.
Does it matter if you elect it as the personality, or it is decided at higher levels? We think not, however, as humans, you often have a need to know to appease the anxiety created by the perceived uncertainty of awakening experiences. And, so it is.
Metatron: To the core of our message, how should one approach an awakening experience? That is, if they elect to awaken, how can they be more purposeful as to that election? If they are in agreement to it at higher levels, how can they cope with what is in their blueprint?
Archangel Michael: To this we say, learn to channel. Why? It is important in an awakening experience to learn to listen to self first. We don't mean to imply that the personality has no role in an awakening experience, but it is the personality that will be altered as a result of your awakening. Listen to the self first, and then allow yourself to think with the personality. This is the way to approach an awakening experience. What are you being asked to let go of? What are you being asked to embody? This is what needs to be answered during an awakening experience, and you can get answers when you listen to the whispers of your soul.
In essence, awakening and cultivating direct connection to higher intelligence is all about learning to listen. So, your awakening experience itself and the difficulty it brings allows you to learn how to listen when it is challenging to listen to the whispers of your soul. It is in that environment, that challenge, that you learn the nuance of knowing when it is guidance versus when it is the intellectual mind. It isn't always an easy experience, but to that we say that it need not be a difficult one when you answer the question, What do I need to let go of? and What do I need to embody? The answers are in you, but to get to those answers, you need to learn to listen to the whispers of your soul. And, so it is.
Metatron: This is the core of what we would like to teach you today. The channel has her own perspective which she will voice in right timing. We would like to thank her for answering the call to let go of what she needed to let go of and to embody what she needs to embody for it is in this healing that this message can be so. And, so it is.
