Welcome to Angel’s Path Issue # 9!
Our son, Jadan, makes his living as a writer and he has agreed to help us with these emails in an editorial capacity, and he has made some useful suggestions. As a result, Cindy and I will attempt to offer more personal commentary. We will share some of the more personal aspects of our experiences, as an effort to be more open and vulnerable with what we are sharing, and to expose some of our own pitfalls and failings. All of this will be done with the intention of finding clarity through the honest exposure of our own humanity. Hopefully, the commonality of our human experience will help you to understand where we are coming from, and maybe our experiences can help you to understand your own learning processes as growing humans.
Going forward, I am going to list the dates of my writings and channelings, mostly to help me keep track of the path of the writings and to keep things in order. The Guides have suggested that we follow a chronological order, which may help you to observe my own growth.
In this issue’s writings, the word “sin” is used often. Initially, Cindy and I both felt taken aback hearing this word, and from Guidance no less. During a verbal session, Cindy wanted to confirm that they still wanted to use the word “sin.” To date, this was the only time this word has been used. The guides are always talking about unconditional love and acceptance, so the use of this word seemed to me to be counterproductive to this viewpoint.
Their response was essentially this: Yes, sin is a harsh word, and specifically for some who may be reading these words, it could be considered a splash of cold water on their face to get their attention. But the guides’ use of this word was not intended to reference the religious side of the term. Most often, the religious use of this word does not contribute to the understanding of Well-Being. It’s not about good or bad, right or wrong, should or shouldn’t, but rather “do your actions feel appropriate or inappropriate in relation to your internal guidance system? Are your actions in alignment with your internal compasses?” Often, sin really only exists in our minds as harsh judgement of ourselves.
In a meditation session, I received a very enlightening and, for me, extremely valid metaphor for the soul ascension ladder. One of those “ah-ha” moments. Imagine there are three workmen working on a house. One man is on the roof, at the top of the ladder, and has completed his soul ascension process. Another man is halfway up the ladder, or about halfway through the process. The man at the bottom is holding the ladder for those above him, but has not started the process yet. He is still serving the others above him. Do the two souls above him have a right to feel superior or more advanced, merely because they started earlier?
Does a man with 25 years of age feel superior to a child with 6 years of age, because he graduated from high school first? The point is that All are destined to ascend. Each of us in our own time.
Thank you,
Scott

Good Morning Beloved Ones,
Sin is basically when we turn against our better nature, the White Light, the Path of Love, and its lessons and tribulations. When we seek self-pleasure as a shortcut to the better path, or seek an easier path to a greater ending, it proves to be unsatisfying and hollow. A victory not obtained through pure-of-heart intentions is no victory at all, but a temporary salve for the ego. It is a karmic reverberation. It can be experienced as evil, but really it is the ego’s way of taking an unproductive and thoughtless shortcut. Do not judge. Go back to the soul ascension ladder.
Judgment of yourself is a sin based on the fear created once we understand the shortcut was not movement toward the White Light. This is where the feeling of being “less than” can originate. Then we become open to allowing others’ opinions of us to injure us. The twin vibrations of shame and judgment create fear, and fear then runs amuck in terrible shame spirals, away from self-love.
Release from fear is a huge spiritual step and one of great relief when arrived at. When you focus on a fear, you give it too much power and then it will attempt to manifest. Let go of the fear and understand where the root cause is emanating from. Recognize this and release it. “Row the boat,” so to speak, to guard against a lack of preparation. Pay attention and be aware of the necessity for living in the physical. Letting go of fear makes more room for higher consciousness and for Guidance to have a greater loving influence in your life. Then you are even more effective at maneuvering through life in the dense, physical world of the third dimension.

Good Morning Dear One,
Let go of your fear of not being enough. This is where doubt resides. When you are aligned with the Divine, there is never a reason to have doubt. Everything will be as it should be. Trust this, know your own abilities and talents, and trust in them, Us, Jesus, and the Creator. You know in your heart that you’re competent and effective at your gifts and abilities. When you have doubt, return to this knowing of your abilities. Everyone makes mistakes, even us. Accept them with as much good-natured cheer as you can, admit them, correct them, ask for forgiveness if needed, and move on in the White Light of Love.
In the fourth and fifth dimensions, we don’t feel pain the same way as you do in the third dimension. This is why we return to the third: to learn what we can see from this vantage point, but cannot fully incorporate into our energy fields, the way you are able to do into your cells, which are different experiences, with lessons on all sides, even for us. In the fourth/fifth we learn what we need to learn, and in the third, you learn it. This is the way of karma: life review, intentions, and desire for growth back to the White Light, manifesting your destiny, and seeing what is needed for the next steps toward your progress back to the Divine.
In the third, with the lower vibrations, the urge to return to the Divine is blunted and ego instead moves toward earthy sensations of temporary pleasure. To turn against this pleasure, there must be pain that becomes unbearable. Hence, the pain of addictions. Every soul has them, and do not believe them if they say otherwise. Just the need to say there is no addiction, is addiction to the image of self that they feel they must uphold to be admired and respected. To them, to be accepted and respected, there can be no addictions. Do not judge others, it is a pointless exercise and inhibits the souls’ growth. Just look to heal your own addictions and respect others’ journeys with their own.
Share our experiences if they will assist in healing. The main focus is helping, as opposed to feeding your own ego to keep it satisfied, in the way a small, self-centered child would. Always look to the Higher Good and away from ego whenever you recognize it. There will always be some ego; that is being human. Accept this and move on toward the White Light of Divine Love and Acceptance. Forgive yourself, ask for forgiveness, extend forgiveness, be truthful and humble. This is where the strength of the meek resides. Great power when awakened. When you are clear with your intentions and aligned with God’s will, many wonderful life events can transpire. In the clear bright intentions, there is no room or darkness for doubt to survive.
We think that is all for now. Enjoy your morning and your day.
Love, Guidance
Cindy here, to close out this issue…
Letting go of fear, self-doubt, shame, judgment; these messages from Guidance make sense to me, and I can see the necessity for releasing them, but I’m often asking myself, how do I go about that? It seems overwhelming to take on the issues I have carried throughout this life and perhaps many other lifetimes. How do I begin? What is my process to clear those energy blocks? I often have a hard time with even identifying the root cause of a fear response.
Luckily, our Angels have a simple suggestion: simply surrender and ask for their help. That’s all! I’ve learned that I don’t need to reenact my human foibles. There is no need to relive drama and examine it from every angle, trying to see where I could have responded differently in certain situations. We can certainly “process,” but I think in this way, it’s not really necessary or effective. It just keeps me reliving my missteps and that is not helpful or self-loving.
So I simply say the words, “I surrender. Help me.” Our Angels and Guides are ready to assist us at any moment, we simply need to ask for their assistance and then step aside and Accept, Allow and Appreciate All. They will always work for our highest good and our most benevolent outcomes.
We have both found this to be very helpful when facing our sins against ourselves. Then we do something loving for ourselves, whatever that may be, so that we may move more quickly to a state of Gratitude, which is fully aligned with our God Within.
Thank you. Namaste.
Scott and Cindy
