How Come?

How Come?

By Steve Beckow

Posted on August 17, 2024


Jesus was God, but he acted like it. How come I don’t?

If everything is God, then we must be God. If we are God, then why do we … OK, I … not act like it? (1)

The Divine Mother and Michael say we are all angels, without exception, though incarnated in human physical bodies this lifetime, with all their ills. That’s how important this Ascension is:

Divine Mother: Let me be clear. There is not one being – human, starseed, hybrid or earthkeeper – that is not one of my Angelic Beings. And it matters not whether you belong to the Legion of Michael or the Tribe of Uriel, the Praisers of Metatron or the Truth Speakers of Gabrielle. It does not matter your colour, your hue. You are my Angels, birthed from my being – birthed not only from my womb, but from my heart.  (2)

Archangel Michael: At this interception moment of ascension and shift, all present upon the planet, from what has been judged as the most egregious to the most saintly, are angelics. (3)

If we are a gathering of such magnitude – all angelics whatever dimension or civilization we’ve chosen in the past to incarnate in for a while – why do we – and especially I – not act like it?

What else are we … am I … waiting for? A ticker-tape parade? The heavens to descend. A chorus of angels? (We ARE angels.)

***

When we make war on each other, God is fighting God. When we rape and pillage, God is raping and pillaging God. After all, God is everything that is.

If I am God, as you are God, how come I’m not getting what I just said? If I’m getting what I just said, how come I’m not acting like it?

Never mind asking uncomfortable questions. I get paid to ask them.

I’m pointing at the merest logical operation here. No pre-requisite required for understanding: If God is all there is, you and I must be God. If we are, how come we don’t act like it?

Like starting right now.

What a challenge that is – even contemplating….

I have the plain and simple truth staring me in the face (we are all God) and only my resistance to owning it is keeping me unsurrendered.

Practicing the Presence of … Michael

 Practicing the Presence of … Michael

By Steve Beckow

Posted on June 16, 2023


Nearest image likeness to the Michael I’ve seen (1)


I need to write stream of consciousness because the thoughts are coming so fast.

I’m living all day now from the context “co-creative partner with Archangel [Fill in the blank].”

It’s easier to do this when one has access to years of readings and radio shows. After the Reval, I’ll get the readings up, as far as I can without harming or offending anyone.

Between the literature and a poke in the ribs, I can actually allow him to guide my every public step.

Not every private step. I make my own choices there, as he’d wish me to.

***

I wanted first off to ask you not to write me asking me how to become a co-creative partner. I have nothing to do with it, except to share my noticeings as one who has chosen, himself (i.e., self-chosen), to be an earthly co-creative partner with my “wingman” – more like my Commander-in-Chief – Archangel Michael. (2)

But notice that Michael has said that he’s already in partnership with everyone; most people just have not woken up to it. So there’s no need to worry:

Archangel Michael: Are we in partnership with every being on the planet? Yes. But it is difficult when you are in a partnership and the other person does not realize it. So we are working with those who realize we are in partnership. And so that is why we are having these conversations. (3)

I know he arranged it because, before I spoke to him, Linda said words to the effect that I would like this because someone wanted to speak to me. And it was Michael.

Not everyone will have access to a medium to get instructions from an archangel, which is why I’m sharing as much of my own instructions as I can.

Keep in mind that Archangel Michael arranged for me to have readings with him (by sending my twin flame in a lucid dream first, whetting my appetite for more).  In my opinion,  your archangel should be able to arrange the same for you if you were open to it.

Michael says that human beings as a whole need to awaken to their co-creation with the celestials:

AAM: Human beings need to come to the understanding that they are co-creators with us, that we are in a sacred partnership. We have said so many times that we do not do necessarily in the way that you may have previously conceived of doing for humanity. We do with you. We co-create with you. (4)

While I don’t have readings with him at the moment, Michael and I did work out signals, which we use.

***

You know how you feel when you’ve made the right decision? Well, deciding to stop being only half-committed is, in my view, the right decision.

It’s as they say: It doesn’t matter how big the hole in the tire is. If there’s a hole, the air will leak out.

So if there is hesitancy in the commitment – the sign of a divided mind – then the credibility and strength will leak out of the thought, word, or action. I think Gandhi and I know Goethe knew this. (5)

I look and that’s one thing I see: I’m no longer of a divided mind.

And I don’t think this is something that applies only to becoming committed about the particular role in question (co-creative partnership with your archangel). It could be being a musician or building a starship landing pad.

If there isn’t full commitment to it, we can’t reach this state of clarity, strength … I guess it’s another flavor of peace.

Full commitment leads to a state of inner peace. Unless it’s full commitment to harm.  It has to be full commitment to something consistent with the divine qualities.

The new paradigms of behavior will be based on the divine qualities, the Divine Mother explains:

Divine Mother: What is the new foundation upon which Nova Earth is built?

It is the 13 Blessings and Virtues [the divine qualities] that we gifted you so long ago. This is the core of everything you will value and bring forth in the new reality. This is the foundation of what you create and co-create with us. (6)

A millennia ago, the prevailing view would have been that we’d be lucky, in our pursuit of enlightenment, if we perfected a single divine quality. Now we talk about perfecting them all.

I remember Michael mentioning the subject in 2019 and I was again startled to see a classical enlightenment theory headed for the repair shop:

Archangel Michael: Human beings, particularly those in the higher vibrations, [are] learning to hold all the divine qualities and to be operating from all the divine qualities at once.  (7)

Until he said it, such a thing remained outside the realm of possibilities for me. Now I accept it as attainable.

Talking about being consistent with all the divine qualities shows how the denseness is lifting and a more refined vibration is becoming dominant.

OK, turn off the tap! I need to eat. I need to shower. Yes, Lord, I know you’ll be with me the whole time. You’ll catch me if I slip on soap. You’ll enjoy my porridge with cashews, berries … and maple syrup. I’m practicing the Presence of … Michael. (8)

(1) I’ve seen Michael on two occasions, as you know: Once standing outside my apartment with no apparent reason for being there and a second time onboard ship, in a lucid dream. The second time I asked him if he was Michael and he confirmed.

The closest match I’ve seen in images to the likeness he presented to me is at the top of this article. The nearest living person’s likeness would be Keanu Reeves with a ponytail (yes, Michael had a ponytail both times), like this, the shadow being his ponytail:

I should add that I felt he was appearing both times in the likeness of a dear younger friend, Mark Orich, who was murdered visiting Orange County, CA., years earlier. The effect was at first startling to me and then reassuring, as if he knew of my grief.

(2) Archangel Michael: Your role is as my right hand in human form [in the area of communication], as I am your right hand in archangelic form. We are a team. (AAM, July 8, 2015.)

AAM: We step forward in the fulfilment, you on Earth, on this beloved planet called Gaia, I as your wingman, quite literally. (AAM, March 10, 2017.)

(5) W.H. Murray:

“Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.

“All sorts of things occur to help one that would not otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man would have dreamed would come his way.

“I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets:

“’Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it! Boldness has genius, magic, and power in it.’”  (W.H. Murray, The Scottish Himalayan Expedition, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.)

If we’re entering a new region of space, which is interdimensional, it then becomes possible to consider all the divine qualities, each of which I believe are associated with the various dimensions.

The Challenge and the Response; or, Caught in the Trap of Awareness

The Challenge and the Response; or, Caught in the Trap of Awareness

By Steve Beckow

Posted on June 11, 2023


Trumpets please!


Several voices arise in response to the challenge that the Compelling Thought (“Make every moment sacred”) brings. (1)

The first voice to rise is lethargic, what Hindus call thamasic. I can’t be bothered. Ahhhh, go away. Honey, what’s on the other channels?

The second voice is curious.

Hmmmm…. One agrees or declines. No fault, no blame. Just not our stop (yet) on the overall adventure. But i n t e r e s t i n n n n g g g g g….

The third voice is inquisitive. We  begin to enquire….

So, OK, let’s see. Make every moment sacred.  What is “sacred”? Never mind looking it up. What is “sacred” to you?

I can imagine the Mother walking beside me every moment and me not doing anything improper, disrespectful, unworthy, etc. That would make every moment sacred.

Well, she always walks “beside” each and every one of us anyways so it’s really a matter of having the courage to recognize it rather than wanting it or not.

To be clear, whether we recognize that the Mother walks with each and every one of us or not, she does.

But recognizing that threatens all my investments and interests that are not of a sacred nature. This is cutting right to the quick.

However, even having the thought and not letting it fly by starts the process. Insidious. It eats away at you.

Watch me now wrestle with it. Well, this moment is sacred, but not that moment. Not while you’re driving, romancing, charming the boss, etc. Around and around I go, dancing with the awareness of how I spend every moment.

I’m caught in the trap of awareness. Once we know, we cannot unknow. Awareness begins its work.
