Archangel Michael

Beloved Seekers of Truth,

There is an extremely important issue I wish to bring to your attention at this time, and that is the concept of "divide and conquer". Such an activity can actually undo the work of centuries if it is allowed a foothold within a group or country.

Many a military or governmental leader has employed this option during important times of their careers or their country's history. It is also often used among the leaders of many organizations and groups in an attempt to make issues go in the specific direction they personally desire, whether or not this is in the best interest of the organization.

When the strategy of division - in itself a very effective tactic - is used, there is a tearing down or interruption of an activity, for example: as in communication between individuals. When a division takes place, there may be no communication for a time. When it does resume, it may be so clouded by various personal feelings of negativity that the work of each individual is not able to be completed properly. Without communication there can not be complete truth, because doubt or other negative qualities may begin to creep in and cause distortion.

It is also to be noted that the individual or group who instigates a division between people, is usually the only one communicating with all sides involved. They are then able to slant discussions and ideas in a way that actually work to the best of their personal advantage. In so doing, by the time all is supposedly resolved - if it ever can be - the individuals originating the division are almost always in a better position than they were when the conflict was initiated.

This is how many individuals, who work only for self-interest, begin and then continue their rise to what they believe to be power. It is very easy to see that many countries and organizations can break down under the weight of the negativity involved because of this concept. It has been used successfully over and over since the fall of consciousness.

Many a good leader has been toppled from his throne when such negative influences have been brought to bear and used to undermine the unity, brotherhood, and cooperation necessary for the well-being of his country. Due to the divisions taking place, the people under his care and protection soon begin to believe the misinformation given to them, feeling a sense of mistrust instead of seeking the truth and considering what should be done for the highest and best good of all concerned.

Another point of importance to consider is the influence from the astral plane. Those beings caught up in the lower astral plane may also use the concept of "divide and conquer". They will use any negative quality which may still be lingering in your four lower vehicles, such as fear or lack of trust, attempting to magnify a small negativity into an out-of-balance reaction, to separate people. "I AM" sure you will recall situations where this may have happened to you in the past.

This is a very important point, and I will remind you that much of my work is within the astral plane, so "I AM" well qualified to advise you in this matter. Should this happen to you, it is wise to step up the activity of protection around yourself. Call on me or any of my legions from the Blue Ray. We will be with you in an instant. Remember that, without the proper protection, you often open yourself to attack by those such as I have previously discussed.

These forces may also seek out susceptible individuals and recruit them, often with promises of power. It is possible for this to take place without the conscious knowledge of the individual, for many of these entities gain satisfaction through causing negative qualities to appear within a group. They may enjoy just "fanning the fire", so to speak. Ultimately the outcome is the same, if the group allows a division to take place.

For these reasons, you can easily see why I ask your assistance in the clearing of the astral plane, for in that activity you are also able to assist these restless and unhappy souls to seek transmutation and the resultant peace it brings to them.

I wish to also discuss an aspect that is closely connected with this issue. You have often heard the statement: "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link". Due to this fact, it is extremely important that you each work for the highest and best good of all concerned in every situation and activity, and protect those involved.

You will notice that "the highest good for all concerned" is a central concept in The Bridge activity. Most of our decrees and work transcend the personal level. You may begin a work with yourself, but it is then expanded to include all concerned in any way. This is a very important concept and I hope you incorporate it often in your work for the Planet, so that the Earth and all who live upon it may move forward with case when the time comes.

Once you have a true understanding of the "divide and conquer" strategy, it is easy to see it for what it is. You will be able to recognize when it is being used upon you or someone you know. It is my request that you always protect yourself from those influences and act in a responsible manner with all others involved.

I wish you to realize also that there are instances when division may become necessary. This occurs at times, but always do everything you can to establish and maintain unity within your group work. Do not judge by the outer appearances for there may be reasons beyond your understanding as to why divisions take place. Just be on the alert concerning the instructions I have discussed with you today, and work with them to the best of your ability. I thank you for your close attention to my words, and I surround you with my Love and Protection.

Michael
