Along The Angels Path

Hello Friends,

As I revisit the writings, and they’re quite numerous, Cindy and I have noticed certain themes and we will start putting these themes together in the writings. I’ll also give some background and additional definition as seems practical.

Ego – This is a big theme that there is a fair amount of focus on. I think what the Guides have described as ego, others may have defined as “Left Brain, Reptile Brain, Shadow Self, Fragmented Self, and Pain Body along with other descriptions. What I understand from what Guidance presents is that ego comes with the human body, that which is of form and structure and is a part of the human experience. Ego reacts to conditioning patterns from emotional wounds of youth and other lifetimes. That is to say, if you were bullied as a young person and haven’t healed this wound, your ego may be overly sensitive to any or all bullying behavior of others and may over or underreact. Ego can be a behavioral structure that controls some of your thoughts and your actions, particularly ones that are anger or fear-based. This is where “fight or flight” impulse comes from, which has served humans well when our survival was much more of a challenge in our cave dweller existence.

You are not your ego, however. You are not your thoughts and actions. Your ego is not in and of itself “bad”, however it can be reactionary at times in ways that no longer serve us. The ego can be tamed.

What you are is the “presence and energy” that animates your body. This is of a loving Soul energy that comes from The Divine and can also influence your thoughts and actions. Once you can discern the difference, you can then make a choice of how to behave.

One example I was given was something as simple as misplacing your car keys. To react with fear is to say “Oh no! I can’t be late! Oh Shit, where are my keys!”, as you frantically search your house. Love-based reaction would not to go to fear or worst case scenario in your mind, but to say with Love and affection, “Where are you? Where are ya hiding?“ like playing hide and seek with a child. Say this calmly, even a bit playfully. Same act of looking for your keys, completely different energy and intention behind the behavior. We do have the choice.

From the Guides

RESENTMENTS; EGO

Be unflinchingly honest. Do not exaggerate or embellish, particularly in an attempt to make yourself look better in someone’s eyes. Do not attempt to manage the other’s impression of you. Be clear and kind and how the other perceives you is about them and their particular issues. Do not take ANYTHING personally.

Do not judge others motivations

Do not hang on to the past, particularly resentments. Let go of the past in order to move forward in a loving and clear manner. Hanging on to resentments serves no purpose, other than to appease the ego. It gives the ego a story to hang on to, to validate its point of view of its pain and validate its perspective.

Harbor no resentments against anyone. Stay clear and open with no judgements. Letting go of resentments opens your heart for much more love and makes you much more effective and, dare We say, more “powerful”. Use power respectfully with absence of ego!

Unhealed wounds result in resentment and fear.

Extend kindness, support, compassion with NO attachment to the response, yours or the other’s. To put attachment on goodwill will taint the experience to a less productive outcome and gives the ego too much attention. Stay centered and kind. Be clear with your intentions and let emotions pass through you easily without the emotional energy cords of the other attaching to you. Embrace the Oneness of all and have compassion for the pain of the other.

You are not your thoughts. Your thoughts are physical/ego-based. The “real you” is the quiet presence (the absence of the voice in the head) that looks out of your eyes with curiosity, goodwill, softness, attentiveness, thoughtfulness and LOVE. This is you at your core. This is you – happy, centered and balanced, vibrating with expanded energy at your soul frequency. Huge Smile Now!

Remember to keep things on the playful side and don’t take yourself too seriously. That is all EGO, my friend.

When the ego rises and acts like a petulant child, remember to give it a “time out”. “Shine” it off into a small corner! (Shhhhh, hush now)

That’s all for now. If you have any questions or comments, they are welcomed. Thank you to those of you who have been so encouraging and supportive.

God’s Love, Compassion and Grace onto All,

Love, Cindy and Scott

Hello Beloved Friends,

I’ll pick up where I just left off from the last email. I believe in these beginning emails, I’ll do some narration to set the stage, so to speak, so you may have some understanding of where I was coming from at the time of the writing. I think this narration will be less and less prominent as we work through the writings.

It Continues…

After the Sound Bath in Sedona, I felt a desire to meditate that was a new feeling. I felt the energy of this town in a manner that I have heard others speak of. Some speak of energy vortexes that exist in this location. A lot of this has to do with the incredible beauty of this place. Cindy and I visited a number of these locations and they were wonderful and beautiful. I began to meditate at a few of these places.

This was a new experience in that it seemed to come to me in a different manner than other attempts at meditation. Previously, I would feel my mind being very active, thoughts would present in a way of distraction. I would feel physically fidgety. My focus would be pulled in different directions. This happened whenever I attempted to meditate and I would give up in frustration. So after attempting to meditate through my late twenties and into my mid thirties, I abandoned this activity. I still prayed and did daily affirmations, however.

Now while meditating, I still have these distractions, but they seemed less intrusive and less important. I often have moments of feeling a deep sense of peace. I am learning how to accept these distractions and to let go of them to a degree. Not to judge them or to be annoyed by them.

What I found odd was the place I felt the the energy of Sedona the strongest was at the pool of the villas we were staying at, more so than the beautiful vortexes. So at the pool was were I often found myself. The next morning while meditating at the pool, a young mother and her three beautiful blond-haired daughters arrived. All daughters probably under the age of five. The two older ones were very water safe and proficient. It was obvious that the mom had great confidence in her daughters’ water safety skills. As a swim coach, I was very impressed by this. The mom attended to her youngest daughter who was crying and fussing. I found this a bit distracting while trying to maintain a meditative state. Then the voice said to me,

“The sounds of baby birds were not distracting you, this is the sound of baby humans. Why does ones type of baby not distract you and the other does? Babies are babies, regardless of species.”

With this new awareness, the noise of the infant stopped distracting me.

I then picked up my iPad and began to write. At first, these thoughts that I was writing down came to me similar to my normal thoughts but seemed to originate from a different source or location in my brain. I didn’t initiate them as far as I could tell. At first they came to me as stand alone statements, like a newspaper headline. Over time, this shifted to a more nuanced and conversational manner.

So with that, here are some of the initial headlines:

(These messages provide much to contemplate and meditate on. They are simple and deep. We welcome discussion! – C.)

With God’s Great Love, Compassion, and Grace onto you!

Hello Beloved Friends,

I’m sending out this email for two main reasons. One, I’ve shared with you my gift of “channeling” guiding souls and angels from the other side of the veil. The veil that separates us from other dimensions of experiential reality. This dimension, being the third, is one of form, structure and denser vibrational energy. The second reason being I love and trust you.

As my relationship with my guides has grown and deepened, they are teaching Cindy and myself many lessons of love, patience and acceptance. I wish to share these experiences. Not to put myself on a pedestal or to present myself as somehow better than others who walk the planet. I have no interest in being a guru. More, to pay it gratefully forward, in a manner of speaking. If these “lessons” help you in any way, as they have helped Cindy and myself, this is a wonderful pleasure and reward for us in and of itself.

This gift is one that I have often been reluctant to share with others. I have been concerned that I would be labeled or judged as weird, crazy or just plain out of touch with reality by others that live by the mainstream influences of our culture and society and that my experiences would be invalidated or dismissed. So, these emails will be a first step of “coming out”, so to speak. I feel compassion for an LGBTQ person and the personal decision to come out and reveal the true expression of who they are. This does feel like a risk and a bit scary.

It is my understanding that all humans have the capacity to communicate with others not of this dimension of form and structure. It is a matter of when and how this gift develops. It seems also to be a matter of Karma, if it is your destiny to have or not have this gift this lifetime. For some this gift comes early in life, others like myself much later. There are many books and many teachers who channel: Esther Hicks (Abraham), Lee Harris (The Z’s), Belinda Womack (Twelve Archangels) and Sheila Gillette (The Theo Group) to name a few. They feel to me to be like master musicians, where I feel like a guy banging on some drums in a garage band. That said, I do find the “music” I play to be a wonderful and soul-satisfying experience.

For the last thirty years I have said this daily affirmation that I got from the musician David Byrne:

“Divine Order, please take charge of my life today and every day. This is a new and wonderful day for me and there will never be another like this one. I am divinely guided all day long and whatever I do, shall prosper. Divine Love, enfold me, surround me and enwrap me and I shall go forth in peace and I will be happy from now on. Please release me from the bondage of my self will so I may better be God’s instrument. Please give me victory over my difficulties so I may bear witness to others of God’s Grace, Love and Power.”

In my late twenties I asked for a mission statement from God. What I received was this: “Live, Love, Learn, Grow, Forgive and Give Back. Accept, Allow and Appreciate All.” This did not come through as the voice, but rather through as a personal “knowing”. It’s hard to explain, but it came nonetheless.

No one was more surprised than me when all of this actually manifested.

My Guides have given me some ground rules so to speak that apply to channeling, as well as these email messages:

• No prophecy for this gives my ego too much power.
• Ask only for the truth, as opposed to what you may want to be true. They have said, “Gentle truths are our specialty” and we have found that to be true.
• Our guides will not do the work for you. They will, however, show you where your path lies, yet you must walk it.
• If the information does not ring true, clear and authentic to you, then disregard it. It is probably my ego getting in the way.
• What you do with the information is your responsibility. Please follow your own intuition in final decision of your actions.
• Also, Cindy has final say over what information is shared. She is a gatekeeper, of sorts. This is also to keep my ego out of the equation. She is often more level-headed than I am. LOL.

To date, I have over 400 written or verbal channeling sessions. I’ll start with mostly the written ones and augment with the verbal ones with Cindy as it seems necessary. Also, I often do not remember a lot of the verbal sessions I’ve done for those other than Cindy. I think this protects the privacy of those I’m channeling for. I’ll start with the information my guides started us off with. There is definitely a progression of learning. For some of you, I think the early writings may seem very basic. But there is a rhyme and reason for the path they have set out. It is always about Love and it amazes me in how many ways and viewpoints they express Love. That said…

The Beginning

First Occurrence: I was in my mid to late 20’s, deep in therapy. I was doing a recommended exercise, which was to write down all the people in my life that were a positive, supportive influence on me. Then, I was to write down all the attributes that these folks embodied, followed by a focusing on the feelings these attributes brought to me. I didn’t realize at the time that this was a first meditation. During this process when I was fairly relaxed, I heard these words inside my head, loud and clear:

“Scott, I’ve always loved and accepted you, you have to accept yourself.”

I was a bit startled and unsure of exactly what just had transpired. What I did know was that I was no longer an atheist.

Second Occurrence: Cindy and I were spending a week in Sedona and we contacted a friend who had just moved there. She invited us to a “Sound Bath Meditation“ at the yoga studio where she teaches. I had never heard of this activity, but it struck me as something to try. Cindy and I both were looking forward to spending some time with her and this seemed like a good opportunity. $10 donation and come to the meditation with an “intention”: what would we like to focus on and perhaps heal? It is common knowledge that I have had a tumultuous relationship with my father. I then set my intention to heal this relationship. The crystal bowls began vibrating as our friend Laura started to play them, similar to rubbing your finger around the rim of a crystal wine glass. At this moment, the voice came to me again and said:

“Heal yourself first”

In this moment, my life changed forever. I had worked on self-discovery for a long time and thought I had most all of my bases covered. There was obviously more work to be done.

The following emails will present the path that Cindy and I are following. The Guides call it “Walking the Angels’ Path to God” through self-awareness, self-discovery and self-reflection. My feeling is we all have common experiences and growth opportunities. My hope is that the following emails will be similar to well-written songs that appeal to and connect us all in shared human experience.

God’s Love, Compassion and Grace onto You!
Love, Cindy and Scott
