New Seeker Challenges
by Archangel Gabriel
We, as lightworkers, are really beginning to struggle with some of the questions people have for us - especially these fundamentalists that quote scripture to us. In a loving, gentle way through our hearts, we want to understand how we should respond on behalf of those in spirit and others.
My dears, it will be okay. I welcome all of you and I thank you for the question. It is a big question; one that will be asked many, many times over and over in the coming months over this year.
The first thing, and the most important thing, that you do is work from your heart center. So the very first thing is to just stop for a moment, contemplate and open that heart chakra. Just ask to hear - not only to speak - but to hear from your heart. If you do this, it is going to allow you not to be in the ego self, not to get defensive, to just be able to listen and to feel their energy and to see where they are coming from. You will be able to do a very quick evaluation – not a judgment - of where that person or soul is coming from with that question.
So, just stop, take a deep breath, open up your heart center and just really accept what that person is giving you – where they are coming from. And, then ask for the inspiration, and it will come through you. Because I can’t give you a canned response because it is going to be appropriate for the person – the soul you are speaking with. So, if you truly open up your heart as you all experience in your work, in your lectures, and all the things you do, we will speak for you. It takes you off the hook. And, it allows spirit to truly give those people what they need at that moment - that moment in time in their journey, in their history, in their place.
Also, the inspiration is not just going to come in words. It is going to come in your energy, in the tone in your voice; it is going to come in certain vibrations that will be given appropriate for that person. It will be in a really beautiful way. And that is where the heart comes in – by opening that heart – will allow all those spiritual attributes to come through. It is not just the words – your words – you don’t have to think of the words, and you don’t have to worry about what to say. You won’t need to have a quick comeback. That is why you stop and allow – that little bit of space before you answer. Opening the heart chakra will allow that time and it will flow through you. You won’t feel threatened by it, so you will not get nervous and you will not worry about what you are saying because it will not be you speaking it. It will be what you know is for the highest good of that person.
If you get offended, you are putting up a wall – shielding yourself – not allowing that person to accept – you are not giving them a chance to accept. But, if you open up your heart and let the inspiration flow through, then you are giving that person an opportunity – that seeker an opportunity – that questioner an opportunity to see the light, feel the energy. If you start from the ego and put that wall up because you are offended by the question, there is no way that person is going to benefit. And that is the whole intention here as a lightworker to allow the inspiration for the highest good of that person. What can they learn in this moment by that question?
Every question will be poignant and it will have purpose. So even if the words are challenging or arguing or debating, the person is thinking – that’s the purpose. This is something that is not to be argued. Someone who works as a teacher or professor will get different questions from their students – from those younger – because they are going to have more knowingness. It is not an age thing, but it is truly where the souls will have a different approach to it. As a fundamentalist, perhaps an older person staunch in their faith will have a different kind of question. So do you see how you have different answers and different energies for different people with different questions, for different souls, for different journeys?
As a second stage to this - not to fear – to truly let the fear go and the love in – which opening up your heart center will do. Know the light will always prevail. And it is not even for you to say or to have a comeback to the questions. As lightworkers you have an understanding, so you know about your heart chakras – know how to open them up - and inspiration will truly come. It is truly to have inspiration take over or do not respond at all. In this situation, just project your love and compassion for the person. You do not even need words, just a smile with love and compassion and that will speak for you.
I will categorize the questions so you will be familiar or use to the kinds of questions you are going to be getting. You are going to have those who are just truly seekers who will ask the question because they truly do not understand. They are seeking; they want to understand. They are not challenging you, they are not quoting scripture, but they want to understand. You will feel the difference. It will be the way they ask the questions, a softness around the edges from the question; your intuition will tell you.
A person asking as a seeker, your heart would go out to them like you would want to teach them. So pay attention to the energy or what your intuition or what your heart or what your solar plexus is telling you by the question, you will know. You will know now that you are learning this, and you will know the next time the question is placed before you.
A fundamentalist will offend you and is one extreme. It is just as important as a question from someone who is challenging you as it is from someone that is seeking. It is just as important for that soul – there is a reason for why the question is even asked. So have the same compassion for the person who is challenging you as the person who is seeking. For the person who is seeking, your natural, nurturing instincts will come out and you will want to teach them, you will want to show them, you will want to share what you know and what you have learned. For someone who is challenging you, there may be some harshness, but the person needs the inspiration as much or even more. Don’t judge.
Then you have those who ask a question who believe in nothing - an atheist. They are not really seeking because they believe where they are at is okay. They are not challenging you because they do not want to know what you know. But, spirit is still trying to get to them. You will get the question from them with indifference. The energy will not be poignant like the fundamentalist, and will not be curious like the seeker; it will be with indifference – almost as if it does not really matter to them because they just believe how they believe. But again, there is purpose in the question, there is purpose in inspiration for the soul. Notice, instead of using “answer” I am using “inspiration” because it truly is a lesson for the person.
It might be a group who questions; it is not necessarily individuals. Again, working from the heart, you will not feel challenged; you will not feel like somebody is bombarding you, so work from the heart.
It really is quite simple. It is really not to worry, not to fear. It really is quite simple – not a long drawn out explanation. And, you will be surprised at how many people will respond from the heart. It is like when we always say the light prevails over the darkness, you will be surprised at how much they will respond. Even from naysayer, you will be surprised how many times you get that smile back. You will get that understanding, that knowingness back. And, if you do not, you will know that we [in spirit] will continue to work with this person. They are getting it as well, just not in that time.
And, it is coming, it is coming rapidly. I am associating it again with “we [in spirit] are lining them up.” There is definitely a purpose in this question, and why we are talking about it, and why we are teaching it. There are going to be a lot of people who will stop and take a look at where they are and where they want to go. Seekers are coming fast. And, it is the energy we are going into. So a lot of people are going to be questioning.
By the way, this channeling is on behalf of a multitude of angels, so that you understand it is mass consciousness – it is “collective thought” – the messages in this channeling. I want you to know this.
