Beloved Ones,  

I come to you now to further your understanding regarding the activities which are taking place during this month of Resurrection and Consecration. You have sent forth your heart's call to tell me you are prepared to serve at a higher level of spiritual expression upon the Earth, and you know your call is always answered. 

At the beginning of this month of intensified endeavor, I spoke about the Mantle of Light. It not only forms your aura, but it signifies your authority for service. This is why it is so very important to constantly expand your mystic mantle. As you purify and protect your Mantle of Light, it becomes an ever-increasing and more evident beacon of your spiritual mastery upon the physical plane.  

Remember―when you have strengthened your Mantle of Light with a new understanding and acceptance of responsibility―that quality becomes a permanent part of your aura. This new quality is also an element of your healing abilities, that may be absorbed by other people who enter into your field of spiritual influence. This is the way by which Master Jesus always knew healing had been drawn from his aura, even when the recipient did not ask him directly for assistance. The individual needing healing knew, by his or her sensitivity, that the Master could heal through his highly developed spiritual gifts. However, Jesus was immediately aware whenever healing energy had been drawn from his aura, and he indicated this by saying, "Who touched Me?"  

My beloved chelas of light, because you have asked to serve as Healers of the New Age, when others reach out for healing, their needs are often brought to you.  

However, you do not always recognize that your auras have, in fact, been touched, or drawn upon by these needs. If you are unaware of this process, you may feel a loss of energy, without recognizing the reason. This is an important point for you to think about, because during times of major upheavals on the Earth, for whatever reasons, the mass consciousness is always deeply affected. This is reflected in feelings of sadness, helplessness, anger and the various other negative expressions of the many. While such unfortunate events are sometimes unavoidable, due to the pressure of human consciousness, the work of our chelas becomes increasingly important to the healing effort.  

However, your consciousness must be held above the mass consciousness in order to be effective in healing. There are several things you may do to be of the most help. I ask that you use your decrees, intensifying your efforts of clearing the astral planes of the emotional content of the mass consciousness. Direct healing energy and the force of the Violet Fire of purification and forgiveness into the Elemental Kingdom. Also, remember to insist upon the joy of service, knowing your every effort has a significant effect upon all involved.  

It is not easy to keep a positive and upward-looking spirit of service if you forget that the mass consciousness is contagious, and must not be entered into by agreement with it in any way. I know you feel sorrow over loss, and I do not disparage this. However, let your sorrow inspire you to bring healing, rather than judgment of those who have in some way caused such loss.  

Remember, beloved Lord Michael has told you many of the Angelic Kingdom have entered embodiment to raise the consciousness of the people of Earth. This is, in itself, a great sacrifice, and shall continue to be so until such time as the astral realms of Earth are purified and clear once more. If I tell you that, by harboring negativity in your hearts through judgment, you do not assist those dear ones, I know you will make the effort required to hold the Immaculate Concept of God's Perfection for all life on the Earth, regardless of outer appearances.  

Beloved ones, your decision to enter the Earth at this historic moment, acting as the channels through which divine energies can be directed into the Earth, is also a sacrifice. It is a decision that needs to be nourished, strengthened and protected by faith. You must also constantly monitor your intentions. The reason for this is to attain complete transmutation of the human consciousness, surrendering it to the Light of the Eternal Indwelling Christ. Know that, to this end, I have pledged my assistance at all times, upon your call.  

I now offer you the Cup of Consecration, that you may renew your vows made at inner levels, even before you took embodiment to be the healers and teachers of the New Age. Remember, when you drink from this cup, the essence of my Flame flows through your entire being and encompasses your aura. We become one in every sense of the word. As this takes place, I impart to you the strength and courage required, and it is yours from that moment forth. A momentum is established that shall not recede!  

Know that Master Jesus drank from this same cup before you, and as you accept the fuller expression of the Christ within your hearts, his love and consecration is a part of the elixir now offered. You may draw forth from the Realms of Light enough supply of all good things to see you through. You are our hope, our love, and our healing manifest on the Earth―right here, right now and forever sustained.  

I AM Raphael,

The Archangel of Consecration
