As we come forward into this vibration, I, Albion, come so that we might share some thoughts with yourselves…thoughts that concern the winter solstice, the beginning of the winter season and the New Year. In the past we have spoken about the seasons. We have spoken about spring as being a time of new beginnings, rebirth, and new life. We have spoken about the summer as being a time when one is compelled to nourish one’s self and one’s life…to seek enrichment in one’s life and, of course, the continuation of the various and valuable experiences that come in the course of daily living. The fall is the time of harvest when one reaps what one has sown, a time to enjoy the bounties of life. Now we wish to speak again about the winter solstice. We think that it is appropriate to reaffirm the meaning of the winter solstice, and to allow us the opportunity to offer some suggestions about things that you might do to honor this time, things that are appropriate to your purposes and that can assist in your spiritual growth.
As we come forward into this vibration, I, Albion, wish to enter into a four-part series designed to focus on the four earthly seasons. We turn to this topic so in hopes that dealing with this it can be of benefit in helping those who hear our words to come into a closer, more personal relationship with the Earth and with Nature. This will allow those who hear to experience a more conscious relationship, over time, will join the forces of those who understand and live by the “at-one-ment” of all life. Yes, we are talking about the four major kingdoms of life, but there are many more kinds of beings that are not necessarily thought of as being living entities.
Entities: this is a very important word. An entity is a “coagulation” of atoms of matter that exist in a specific form or body. Form becomes the deciding factor in qualifying a particular type of being – be it animal, plant, human, mineral, or part of one of the “invisible” kingdoms. We want you to get accustomed to thinking of the four seasons as entities. As we come forward here now, I Albion come into this vibration so that we might share some thoughts that concern another type of angel that works with human beings. Perhaps there are those who do not understand our choice of the word “works” with human beings. What we mean to imply is that through their presence within the lives of humans, and through their companionship, so to speak, these angels can and do work out their own karmic responsibilities. Only a select few of angels have the well-being and evolution of humanity within their charge. In this particular lesson we wish to speak about a type of angel we shall call “Messenger Angels.”
One of the best known stories in the Bible concerns the appearance of an angel who told her that she was to be the Mother of Jesus, who would become the Messiah. This is a perfect example of the “work” of a Messenger Angel. The angel brought the word to a living human being -- a message that would be of consequence to that human being and to millions around the world down through time. There is one distinction that we feel is important. This is that there are Messenger Angels whose task it is to transmit or relay messages to individual humans. Then there are those Messenger Angels whose task involves a message bring transmitted to humanity as a whole. A message transmitted to an individual concerns the individual rather than the masses and more often than not it is a message that does not influence or apply to those closest to the individual who received the message. Needless to say, the individual, in responding to the message, may indeed affect other people, but the message itself is given only to the individual. Messenger Angels who bring messages to humanity as a whole bring a message that will in time affect and influence humans the world over. Perhaps there are those who think that such messages are always religious or spiritual in nature, but this is not the case. I Albion come into this vibration now and we wish to direct our thoughts (for a few lessons generally speaking) about the subject of the Human Shadow. There are times when one word like shadow will be used to mean the same as Phantom, or Astral Body or Etheric Body, so I Albion explain to yourselves carefully just exactly what we are speaking about when we refer to the Shadow. Of course the term itself is not original to ourselves at all. It suits the definition we understand, so appropriately we have adopted the use of that term.
There would be two levels (two perspectives if you will) that one can look at the Shadow in search for meaning. The first is a very simple thing. Every human being has a positive side and a negative side. The positives and negatives have been referred to as masculine and feminine, good and evil, if you will, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. So, there are many different ways, using Philosophy and Religion, that the two distinct parts of a Human Self are recognized and accepted as reality. But, one must truly go beyond such a cut and dry definition, so that more can be gleaned about the Shadow Nature. The second point that we would add to that is that all Human Beings are multi faceted in their nature. (All of you are quite familiar with that statement.) We are certain that through your daily life experiences, you have experienced the complexity of your nature. So, rather than just stop and say “some of my nature is good and some is not,” let’s say that all aspects of a person have a role, serve a purpose, and have a power that is distinct and unique unto it. And it is only when that collective is viewed, that one can say that’s a Human Being in wholeness and entirety. As we come into this vibration here, I, Albion, come so that we might share some thoughts with yourselves concerning the Moon and its energy. We wish to speak about lunar ceremonies, the energies generated by such ceremonies and how that energy might be utilized for various purposes, and the importance of such ceremonies. First, however, we want to reiterate what we feel is very important at this particular time in human evolution, this being the necessity for making ceremony a part of one’s daily life. Oftentimes, people think that ceremony is only done on special occasions such as a rite of passage or religious ceremonies of some sort, but this is not the case. You will remember that we have made it clear that there is a difference between ritual and ceremony. Ritual is tradition…a religious or cultural tradition...for example, when we say cultural tradition, a wedding is a cultural tradition, as is a funeral ceremony and a rite of passage ceremony. When one is performing a ritual, it is written out or provided for you, and has, more often than not, been practiced the same way for generations. A tradition should not be changed. It should not be added to or taken away from. A ceremony, on the other hand, is far more spontaneous. You can feel free to choreograph and to write the words of any litany you so choose. In fact, ceremony comes more from the heart. Ceremony should be timed as rituals are timed. A winter solstice ritual, for example, must be done on the day of the winter solstice, and not at some other time of the year. Ceremony needs to be timed according to the phases of the Moon. In fact, let’s say this: solar-based ceremonies are masculine in their nature. Most of the time a solar rite is a ritual. On the other hand, ceremony is more feminine in its nature. It is more spontaneous and free, and in ceremony one is given more leverage. The timing of ceremony and ritual should never be overlooked. It should never be reduced in terms of its value and importance, for if the timing is not done appropriately, then the effectiveness of a ceremony or ritual is simply going to be less than what it would have been had it been timed correctly.
As we come forward into this vibration, I, Albion come so that we might share some thoughts that concern the nature of ritual and ceremony. We wish to specifically speak about ceremonies at this time that have to do with honoring the Sun, and why this is important. However, before we begin, we wish to make some comments about the recent hurricane disaster to strike the Gulf Coast of the U.S. We feel that it is more important at this time for you to send earth healing thoughts and feelings to the area and to the people of the area, as well as to do earth healing ceremonies now. This is because the Earth is in greater need of such healing thoughts and ceremonies than it has been in the last 3,000 years! Because of the intensity of the earth changes, we will talk about earth healing and give you some instructions about how to go about this in a ceremonial way in our next lesson. This said, we would now proceed into the lesson at hand.
As we come into this vibration, I, Albion, come so that we might focus our attention for the moment on a subject and an issue that we feel is of paramount importance at this particular time. It is a subject that has been talked about by many, and one that we have spoken about in past lessons.
In these times of major planetary change represent times that are crucial to the evolution of life on Earth, times when certain information is necessary and beneficial in helping one to understand the times, the purpose of the events that occur, the karma if you will, that is the motivation behind certain events, conditions, and circumstances. We do consider that this subject is one of those that if our words are taken to heart and utilized by being incorporated into one’s daily living, then we think that there will be some reassurance in what we will say, making you feel more secure in these times of peril. Likewise, we think that more people who are aware of the work of particular angels at this time will be in a position to be of greater assistance to those angels and their work. Our subject is about a specific kind of angel and the work they do. We are well aware that when we talk about angels, every person has their own conception of what they are and what their work involves. We are not going to try to eliminate or to add to your own personal definitions at this point, but we will say that there are different levels of angels. By levels we mean angels who are at a certain point in their own evolutionary process that makes them more highly evolved than other types of angels. Also, we want you to know that the Angelic Kingdom is very vast, and is composed of beings that are quite physical in their nature, as well as beings that are invisible to human eyes, and etheric or astral-like in their nature. There are angels who work only with individual human beings. Perhaps the most well known of these would be the so-called Guardian Angels. Frankly, we prefer the words “companion angel,” for the word “guardian” is somewhat misleading in that it suggests that your guardian angel will protect you from harm, or will cause certain things to occur or not to occur. This is not the cast at all. But whatever it is called, a Guardian or Companion angel never loses sight of the fact that every human being has free will. An angel will never interfere with free will. There are also angels that we could put into the category of the Nature Spirits or the Elementals. There are also angel-like beings that are known as the fairies, the Little People, the gnomes, etc. At this time we wish to speak about a particular kind of an angelic being whose consciousness is highly evolved. The vibrational frequency of their energy is very refined. These types of angels do not work – and this is a very important point – with individual humans. Rather, they work with groups of humans. The group might constitute an entire community, or an entire race or nation of people, or a family of people. These we will call the “Mission Angels.” Our use of the word “mission” is meant to suggest that these angels work within the framework of a specific task or mission. These angels rarely work alone. They work more in groups. It is rather insignificant to put a number on a group of Mission Angels, for that can vary based upon the need and intensity of the situation they are working with at any given time. So to simply say that they work in groups is sufficient. These angels are dispatched or sent to work with humans for a specific purpose, and they do so in the following ways. As we come forward here now, I, Albion enter into this vibration here so that we might extend our concern and teaching for a better understanding of the energy and the power of the 4 seasons of nature. Now we do this at this particular time for various reasons, but one of the most important reasons is that when one can be consciously aware at all times of the presence of the seasons and of the differences of the energies generated by and radiated by the 4 seasons, then one is more likely and will certainly find it easier to align their own personal lives with the life of the earth.
For example, Winter as we spoke of it in our last lesson, is a time of rest, a time of hibernation in a sense, a time when all is urged to turn within to find warmth, to find solace, to find, perhaps, a bit of information – let’s put it this way – to have an experience that would testify to their presence of and the nature of the soul – the human soul. When one is in touch with their own human soul, then one is almost automatically, we say, in touch and in harmony with the soul of the earth. It’s a long journey, a long, long journey yet to be complete that will not be complete, we should say, until all members of the human kingdom have come to the same conclusion and that is that the right to life – no matter what kingdom might be in question – and the equality of all life. Human equality – it’s an issue that has been, over the years, addressed as we would say in some great depth –but when we think of the equality of all life, then an animal is as important as a human life, and a plant as an animal, and so on. And so to be able to come into a greater awareness – a greater conscious awareness – of the seasons, we think would contribute to a greater awareness of one’s own being. As we come into this vibration, I, Albion, come so that we might share some information regarding the subject of earth healing. The earth is a living, evolving Soul. It is quite clear that the earth has a physical body. However, it also has emotions and feelings, a mind, and a Soul. The earth thinks and feels, but not in the way that a human being thinks or feels. The earth is a “collective “ energy that is composed of all the minerals, plants, animals, and humans. The earth also has an aura, which is the atmosphere, which is a part of the living planetary being. One might think of it as if all the minerals, plants, animals, and humans are like “atoms” that comprise the body and soul that is the Earth Mother.
In our discussion concerning earth healing, we wish to repeat something that we said in our last lesson, that being that the earth is, at this particular time, in need – more so than at any other time in over 3,000 years – of healing. Let’s think about the word “healing.” Most of the time healing means bringing a sense of health in the physical sense to the physical body, but we say that we must go a step beyond this to truly understand and embrace all that there is to understand concerning earth healing. We are not just concerned with the healing of the earth’s body, but also with making a contribution in various ways to the health and the sustaining of the earth’s health. As we come into this vibration, I, Albion, greet you. We come into this vibration so that we might share some further thoughts concerning the year 2012. We feel that it is important that we focus on this important astronomical event and these extraordinary current times. We wish to enter into a discussion at this time by looking at this upcoming event from yet another perspective, for we feel that it is so very important that when events occur, especially those that bring a major cycle to an end so that a new cycle can begin, that they be looked at from various perspectives.
