New Year Conference

Beloved Chelas of Light,

Accept My deep humility and love for the opportunity to serve as one of your Sponsors for this New Year. Today, I wish to thank you for the time you have spent thus far in developing your relationship with your personal Task Force of Angels. I ask that you continue to intensify your relationship with these blessed ones. Your Task Forces spend every moment of each day with you. During your hours of sleep, They return to the Sun, remaining there long enough to replenish Their life energies, that They may serve more fully.

My Beloved Ones, These Angels are your personal friends and companions, working not only to expand the Light of your decrees and visualizations, but also to intensify your own inner expansion of light, love, and power. Insofar as you are already experiencing this unique friendship, you are discovering tremendously increased powers of service and greater results following your calls.

Throughout the ages, when, humanity called for assistance in any way, Angels have responded to help. This is the law of their Being and the joy of their service. However, unless otherwise instructed by their Commanders, when such service is completed, they normally return to the aura of the Sun or the Temple through which they serve. The difference between the calls for assistance just described and the gift of your personal Task Force is vast. These Angels have been assigned to remain within your personal aura and the forcefield of the flaming Blue Cross which has been created for your protection over many years. They have been instructed to respond directly to your conscious commands. This phase of activity is for your development into fully conscious Masters of Light.

Your Task Forces are helping you to develop your powers of command and clarity of instruction, as you use the Forces of Light to accomplish specific tasks. This is, in a small degree, exactly what We do, as the Commanders of vast legions of Angels!

Every Ascended Master also has personal legions of Angels. You may not have thought a great deal about some of these facts, but I believe you will welcome such information as you are developing your own mastery.

I have been observing your use of the Task Forces assigned, and you are doing very well. You have begun to pause and think about how you should greet, instruct and direct your Task Force. You have questioned Them, and waited to receive Their response and guidance. This is exactly what We had hoped for. You are not afraid to be experimental in your efforts, and you are very creative with some of your instructions. I must say that I AM enjoying watching Our chelas in this process!

You are quite naturally experiencing some confusion now and then, which is just part of the process of learning. You have been simultaneously presented with many other exercises in development, and expected to learn many things this year. Our instruction is becoming more explicit and expansive. You are being given a great deal more responsibility in service, but I will assure you that We always stand at the ready to assist you. We will always help you overcome any difficulties you may encounter to the fullest degree permitted by Cosmic Law. You stand upon the threshold of an Initiation into a much higher vibratory level, a fullness of Light from which you will be able to serve in a greatly expanded manner.

I suggest an exercise in friendship to assist you, if you care to put it into practice. Just sit down, center yourself, and―after invoking your I AM Presence and giving authority to your Christ Self within―talk to your Angels, one at a time. First visualize your mighty Cross of Blue Light, and see yourself standing in the center. Look around and see your Angels. They are real. They have faces and forms, which―while expressing perfection of beauty and symmetry, differ widely, one from another.

Your seven Angels of Protection are all clothed in blue, and each carries a shield and sword. The shades of blue they wear may vary, however, and their swords and shields will be different in size, shape and design.. Your seven Angels of Restoration are clothed in garments of light which radiate the color of the Ray to which they belong. Your Angels may appear to be either masculine or feminine. The Angels assigned vary according to the needs of each chela, and also of the Angels, themselves! All that I mention here are merely details you will discover for yourselves as you take time to get to know the members of your individual Task Force as personal friends.

I know the exercise I suggest can take some time. However, if you think about it, you will realize you do take time to sit down with your friends, holding discussions and spending time enjoying their companionship. It is no different between you and I, or between you and the individual members of your Task Force! They are Beings of Life and Light, just as you are! Soon, as your vibratory levels are stepped up sufficiently, the Angels will be more clearly visible. However, in the meantime, you can feel their touch upon your brow and your hands held in theirs. It will help you get used to the higher, finer, and more rapid vibratory level you are entering.

May I remind you that beloved Elohim Hercules asked you to invite Him, or any other Ascended Master or Being of Light, into your home? He suggested you leave a chair vacant in your room or at your table, and generally make your Friends of Light feel welcome and desired as your daily companions. In My own way, I AM telling you the same thing! We already walk and talk with you! We are here beside you, loving and protecting you in every way possible under Cosmic Law. You are aware of the law that states We may not give Our assistance unless asked, and—for the most part—you remember and respect this Law. Also, when you take time to think a moment, you remember that We are always as close as your call. As you have learned about your personal Support Groups of Angels, you have lovingly welcomed Them, to teach and guide you.

The major difficulty you are experiencing as you come to know the Angels better is that of dealing with your feeling natures―your emotional vehicles. There is a very simple reason for this, and it will help you to realize what it is. The Angelic Kingdom embodies the feeling nature of the Godhead. This is a wonderful responsibility―and I use the word advisedly―but it must be guarded with all your power and might as a developing priest or priestess of Sacred Fire. As you spend more time becoming conscious of Our Presence and familiar with how it feels to be with Angelic Forces, you come to desire it more and more. Following such encounters, it becomes increasingly more difficult to return your consciousness to the human octave. You feel as though you are neither Angel nor Human! Let Me encourage you! Beloved Ones, you are walking the Pathway Home into the Heart of God, and you are almost Home Free!

In times past, some of you have glimpsed the difficulty of this very step upon which you now stand. You have come right into My Temple, still clothed in your human consciousness, and stood watching from the side lines as I placed My Hands upon the shoulders of your Holy Christ Self, and looked deeply into the eyes of your True Self―your eyes. As you then knelt before Me, I―with My own Hands―placed My Sword upon your head, administering the Initiation of God's Holy Will to you. During this Initiation, which is given to and through your Holy Christ Self, your outer self has run from the Temple and tried to hide in human consciousness again! But the Kingdom of the Gods, once glimpsed, can never be forgotten in sleep again! Now it is time that the meaning of this Initiation may be revealed to you. Oh blessed Ones of Light, you can run no longer! The Divine Nature has overtaken all that is less than Itself, and you must now stand forth and be counted! Be counted among My Kingdom, for I welcome you with an open Heart! Your precious Task Forces are helping you to move upward until the time finally comes when we see each other face-to-face, with no veil between us to cloud our friendship! I await that day with much joy and anticipation!

In the meantime, never has the need for God's Protection been more necessary than at this step. Listen to Mighty Hercules, for He will help you. I offer the Protection of the Angelic Kingdom, but it must be balanced by the Protection of the Elohim―the Mind of God―to become strong, invincible, and complete. This is absolutely required, and today the beloved Elohim Hercules stands beside Me. Open your hearts and minds as I, Michael, and Hercules, become ONE, and project from Our combined consciousness a Ray of Light. It contains the combined momentum of the Angelic and Elemental Kingdoms, and it now enters the Chalice of your precious, uplifted consciousness. Accept it! All gifts of the Spirit are wrapped in the Love of the Cosmic Holy Spirit Æolus and the beloved Maha Chohan Paul.

Hold fast, and know that you are receiving the Initiation of the Angels―the Initiation of the Heart. It is fully supported, sustained and maintain by the Elohim! You are the Chalice, and I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, filling you to overflowing with ASCENDED CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS, right now and forever sustained!

Your Friend and Protector,

Michael
