My Beloved Chelas,
During the past month we have discussed primarily the assistance needed by souls who are departing the physical plane, but there are other aspects of the lower astral realms yet to be considered. From time-to-time, we will further study additional facets of these teachings, because of the integral part they play upon the consciousness of all mankind.
One of the most influential is the ongoing creation by human consciousness of undesirable thoughtforms, which gain strength from the input of mankind's negativity. Such thoughtforms often fill the atmosphere of Earth in many localities, causing both emotional and visual barriers for newly departed souls. This interferes with, not only the peaceful transition of souls, but also with the consciousness, happiness and spiritual progress of embodied lifestreams.
Perhaps, in a way, it is even more difficult for the latter, because these thoughtforms, usually not visible to physical sight, can provide an open door and exert a tangibly unstable influence on any embodied lifestream in response to negative thoughts or feelings. These conditions, which are a part of the veil of maya, stand in the way of free passage in the Light for all concerned.
I speak not only of the departing souls and their families and friends, because these conditions also block free and clear communion between the evolutions of Earth, the Realms of the Ascended Masters and the Angelic Kingdom. These barriers are what I ask you, our chelas, to transmute through your calls to purify and clear the lower astral planes.
In any aspect of this service, you are developing and expanding the unity between all God's kingdoms of expression. You have been working with the Angelic Kingdom, especially the Angels of the First, Fourth and Seventh Rays, in the transition of consciousness from the physical realm into the astral or inner realms.
These same Angels also work with you in response to your calls for the clearing of mass consciousness and the outer realms of this planet. The realms of which we speak from the mental, emotional and etheric vehicles of the Earth, as well as those of the human race, and their purification is a necessary and ongoing task. Therefore you can see that the work with departing souls is but a part of what is needed.
The wonderful Beings serving under the guidance of Archangel Michael and Lady Faith are often called 'Warrior Angels'. The meaning of the word 'warrior' as it refers to these Angels signifies their great power and strength, which enables them to remain and work within the lower astral realms for long periods of time. The Seventh Ray Legions of Archangel Zadkiel and Holy Amethyst are similarly fitted for service there, and the cooperation between these Angelic Beings is a magnificent activity to observe.
For instance, as a soul is released from the physical plane, the Blue Ray Angels, using their powers of protection, create a forcefield around the Ray of Light projected forth by the I AM Presence of that individual. Then, the Seventh Ray Angels direct the transmuting power of love into these forcefields, so each dear soul feels the love and welcome so needed as they enter this profound transitional experience. This enables a soul to pass through the lower realms quickly and safely, and enter into the safe haven prepared to receive it. This activity would not be possible without the assistance of the Angels. Their power is great and their love and joy in service are a constant inspiration to every Ascended Master and all life. Let it be so for you as well, beloved chelas of Light. I love you, each and every one.
