This is an edited version of a personal reading I had with Archangel Michael Dec. 18, 2012. It became clear early on that much of the material was very useful to others and so I asked his permission to share it. I have removed much that was personal. Many thanks to Ellen who turned this around in a matter of hours so that we all could have the benefit of it before Dec. 21, 2012.

Reading with Archangel Michael for Steve Beckow, December 18, 2012

Archangel Michael: Greetings, I am Michael, warrior of peace, archangel of love. Welcome. Welcome, my beloved brother and sister [D'Arcy]. Welcome to this time of unfoldment, of what you think of as miraculous, and what we have all waited for, for eons, since the time of the Creator race that now returns.

You are already underway, and the journey has begun in earnest. But yes, my beloved friends, I understand that there are queries and questions, questions of the heart and questions of the mind. So where do you wish to begin?

Steve Beckow: Lord, the first thing I would like from you are my marching orders. [Much of this discussion has been removed.]

AAM: What you are doing is helping people understand this process as they are walking through it. And you are doing that literally through the articles and the communications that you are putting on your and my platform.

On the day in question, yes, and I do refer to the 21st for you and for your family, I wish you to relax, and I wish you to be as much as possible in a state of meditation, not deep meditation, but a state of alignment, where you are aware of what is transpiring around you, but that you are also aware of what is transpiring within your field, within your being, meaning your body, and within your heart.

So what I am suggesting to thee is that it is not a day for a great deal of external distraction. To be in sacred space, either by yourself or with your beloved, or with a circle, a small circle, of your beloved friends, but it is need to be in a situation where you are able to sit down, lie down, do what you need to do. We would ask you to pay attention. If you are going to do the specific deeper meditations, this is what I am asking.

From 10:01 to 11:11, in the morning, your time, lie or sit in meditation position so your chakras are all opened and aligned. Feel and see, visualize — it does not matter; it will come — that the beam of white light directly from the heart of the Mother/Father/One is coming down right through the central sun, down through your crown, right through your body, exploding in your heart and opening your true heart awareness.

And when that is happening, you wish to keep it open. Now, in the days that you are preparing for this, you are also allowing your grid to become lighter, more ignited, more connected, more united with everything, which is instructions I have given you in other conversations. But for you, for your personal practice, because you are ready to receive this in a very conscious kind of way, that is my instruction.

Eat very light that day. I do not mean don’t eat, but simply eat in ways that are not challenging to your physical body, to your digestion. Green is always the color of choice, because it is of the love.

But I have a second request of you.

SB: That’s fine.

AAM: It is to bathe yourself in blue, and it is starting today, and it is through the end of the year. Simply feel that you are bathed, the air around you, your clothing — which is not a problem — but even the water, when you take a bath, that you are literally being bathed and caressed in my blue.

This is also the energy not only of communication but of calm and of change. So you are bringing that energy through on our platform, in your personal relationships, in your partnership. So stay in the blue.

Now, you may feel the 20th, the 21st, the 22nd, you may feel some sense — well, you will feel, and we have not talked a great deal about this in the public forums, but perhaps we should — you will feel a sense of disconnection and disassociation. Not severe, not “Where am I? Who am I? What am I doing?” but certainly a sense of disassociation, almost as if you have taken either some plant or chemical hallucinogen, not that severe, but a sense of, “Oh, I am seeing things very differently. I am in a different process.”

Even your movements, you may feel like you’re moving through air as if you are moving through water. Do not worry about it. It is the adjustments and attunements, as you are firmly anchoring in a different dimension.

Now, I have asked you to stay and turn out the lights, as it were, but I am not asking you to stay and be part of the holographic Earth, for you are needed elsewhere, dear heart! We have much to do!

So stay connected through the beginning of the 21st. See who is collecting around you. Bring them with you, cherish them, and then turn out the light.

SB: Collect them around me physically, Lord, or…

AAM: No….

SB: … in spirit?

AAM: … etherically, visually.

SB: Okay. Where will we go to?

AAM: It is not where you are going to, it is not that your physical — although you will choose to change your physical situation very quickly — but it is not so much that you are going anywhere as the merger of dimensions, the raising of the vibration in what you think of as your existing now will be a conjunction point. So you are not going anywhere. You are simply receiving the higher frequencies of awareness in terms of who you are.

So we do not lift you up out of your apartment. We do not take you anywhere, because the whole Earth is going. So it would be not feasible — well, we could do it, but it is not the way it is planned — that we would take people one by one by one and reposition them.

SB: Is it all right if I share what you’re saying with me with people on the blog, Lord? Or is this only applicable to me?

AAM: No, you may share this information.

SB: All right.

AAM: No one can come to harm bathing themselves in blue. And yes, there are many who are thinking they are going somewhere. So it is important that they understand, for example, if they do their meditation, and then they come out of their meditation and they are still in their bedroom, for example, that they think, “Well, it didn’t happen.”

But no, that is not so. Take a moment, pause — do not even get up. Pause, look around, note, see how you feel, see how your heart is acting before you begin to engage in your shifted reality.

SB: What would I be noticing if I looked around, Lord?

AAM: that you can see into energy patterns, colors in the air…. We are not going to… you may see it, but many people will not notice how full the energy is with other beings. So for example, many people believe that they live alone or they live on a quiet street. But when they shift dimensions, they will be able to see the presence of other beings.

You will be able to see the molecules that form, say, your books or your dresser drawer or your desk. And you will have the ability to know, yes, we have decided that this is a firm construct, but I am able to witness and to really see the mixture of rays and energies and colors that go to formulate what we have agreed upon as a solid form.

You will have a sensation of deeper connection, of what you think of as euphoria. Understand what is taking place. Your heart awareness, your knowing, is wide open.

SB: This is Sahaja Samadhi, isn’t it, Lord?

AAM: Yes, it is.

SB: Will we be able to spend some time on holiday at [XXX], or would you like me to remain at my post?

AAM: No. You deserve a holiday. Of course I’m coming along!

[laughter]

SB: Do you like coffee milkshakes?

AAM: Yes, I do!

Now, I have to tell you, and yes, you can share this with your readers as well, the sense of physicality and being in physical body, when you are in the fifth dimension, is very different insofar as so many of you have been exhausted. And it is because you have been getting used to holding these vibrations and frequencies.

And you have done a good job, by the way. All of you have done a magnificent job. Your determination has been very impressive. But when you are in the fifth, you will feel… so full of vibrant energy. You will feel that you could go for days without sleeping, and just go on sheer energy.

There will be a greater sense of well-being, that your body is humming, that finally, not only — because every person is progressing at a different point, this is an individual process. But the general statement is your organs, your brain, your functions, your bodily functions, your circulation begin to function in alignment with the perfection of your design.

Now, if you were to take [the chemical] Speed, you would think, “Oh, I can go for days, and I don’t need to sleep.” What we are offering as brotherly advice, when we said you need a holiday, we meant it. So take time to sleep, to rest, because what you also will experience in a rest state and in dream state is very conscious sleeping and expansion and what we would call exaltation.

So don’t skip sleep. As your body is adjusting, even though you think you are in the fifth, you are home, your new home, and you can go forever, be gentle with your bodies.

So take time to rest. Take time to lie — yes, even at this time, bring a blanket, lie on the beach, stare at the stars, feel the sun on your face and the magnificence of the blue sky.

And also note, I have not spoken of this… The sky will appear and feel different. I will not explain how, because you will discover how. I am not planting the seed to give you the impression, just pay attention to the sky. It will appear and feel different.

SB: All right. And can you describe to us the new shape of relationships on whatever dimension we’re on.

AAM: Do you mean sacred union relationships? Or do you just mean relationships with your friends, with your family, with your colleagues?

SB: Oh, sacred union relationships, I think there’s a lot of people out there who want to know what relationships, sacred relations, will be like.

AAM: They will be sublime. Now, one of the things that you have been doing in this, what we would call, process, is you have been letting go of many of your karmic ties, imagined hurts, real hurts, historical hurts, past life belief systems, paradigms that have shackled you and limited you in, from our perspective, strange and unusual ways.

Think of a relationship where the vulnerability is present, but also the truth of love, without any of the masks. Now, will this happen instantaneously? You will take a few days.

Maybe some will take weeks or months, but I am speaking to you, my brother, and to you, sweet angel. The masks are gone. And so there is a new paradigm that I am rather preferential to, and it is called truth.

It is the way to be able to fully love and engage another because finally you love and engage with yourself. So that wondrous mirror and that complement that you have chosen for this life is available. Now, I am not referring to your relationship, let me be clear about this; your relationship has full potential to flourish in ways that both of you have dreamt of.

But in other relationships, what you will see, without rancor, without, hmm, devastation, that there will be a parting of the ways, because the choice will be seen as not accurate or not correct, for lack of a better word.

So there may be some separations, because the heart and the consciousness of the heart truly seeks something that is a closer blend and a match, a complement. For those who are alone, there will be a coming together, because there is the ability to truly see another.

Now, I am not saying this will happen overnight, because, do not forget to add into the mix new missions, new assignments, star brothers and sisters, a unified planet. These are the things that we are so excited about! [laugh]

So sacred union will in fact be very much the norm. What you think of as dysfunctional relationships — and this does extend to friendships or family or colleagues — they simply dissipate. Not immediately, but they do dissipate.

And of course everybody is given the opportunity to course-correct, as it were. Because, again, you can see who the truth of that person is. And for many they are seeing the truth of who they are for the very first time.

So this is, this is big, and that is why some will adjust at a slower pace. But relationships takes on a different form. They are more endearing, they are more cherished. They are stronger. They are more supportive. They are more unified. They are more connected. They are more co-creative. It is what we have waited for for so long.

Last night, I spoke with your dear friend Stephen Cook. And I spoke to him about our family and how the archangels work together. That is how you will work together.

It is not that this is my bailiwick, and don’t touch it. It is, this is what I know how to do and to create really beautifully. What can you add to it, or how can my talents and abilities compliment yours?

SB: I think there are a lot of husbands and a lot of wives who are saying to themselves, “Oh, my gosh. What happens when my partner meets his twin flame? Any words for them?

AAM: Well, first of all, the twin flames are not being activated to come forward as partners. In many ways, they will remain, yes, more consciously attached, shall we say, but they will remain more as guardians and advisers.

But you have to remember, husbands and wives, that out, if you have been honest in your relationship, if you have been in truth, if you have looked out of the entire planet, and for some cases even beyond, your beloved’s twin flame chose your partner as the perfect person to journey with for this lifetime that is so spectacular.

So you are the chosen one. You’re not about to be displaced.

SB: They’ll be glad to hear that.

AAM: And it is true for both sides! So yes. It is, if you are to meet, for example, your wife’s twin flame or your husband’s twin flame, you are meeting someone who already thinks you are incredible, that you are so incredible that you are worthy of traveling with their beloved other. This is a compliment, not a challenge.

SB: Yes. Okay. I’m trying to figure out, when will I eventually have my original dimensionality back? Or do I stay in a lower dimensionality for the foreseeable future?

AAM: You will have a choice. As I have said to you, when you complete this mission, you are allowed to have 200 years off. But what you do with that is up to you, dear one! You will certainly have full access to your inter-dimensionality.

SB: So no matter what I choose, I’ll have access to it?

AAM: Yes.

SB: Okay. Well, it really just depends on what’s wanted and needed, apart from that.

Let’s see…. Any words for InLight Radio, for the people that … you’ve heard our conversations probably in the last few days. Are we on target? We’re taking two weeks off until after New Year’s.

AAM: You are on target, and it is not… it is important that the collective have the chance to integrate the changes. And that those involved with InLight Radio will be actually quite busy during that period, as you say, meetings, et cetera. But we want you, we require you — and there is very little we require of you — we want you to take a break.

SB: Well, you’re probably going to have to tell me straight out to do that before I do it. But… okay. Do you have some words for the 2012 Scenario editors, given that we’re now drawing into the dock?

AAM: I carry the messages of the entire realm of Heaven, the Divine Mother, the seraphim, and certainly, my brothers and sisters, the entire Council of Love and your own guides. Thank you.

You have done yeoman’s duty, and you have extended and stretched, and at times been befuddled, discouraged, elated, tired, and you have continued on. This is the beginning, my friends, not the end. And you shake your heads and say, “Oh, no!”

But it will be easier, not more challenging. But I thank you. I thank you for your service. I thank you for your heart commitment. I thank you for your mental acuity. I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And I bless each one of you. You are ready to fly.

SB: All right. Very good. Well, I’m excited, I’m a little giddy, I’m jumping for joy, and I’ll try and keep everybody calm over the next few days.

AAM: Blue, dear heart, blue.

SB: Yes.

AAM: I love you.

SB: Thank you, Lord. I love you and I very much enjoy working with you. And to continue to work with you is just my dream.

AAM: We have only just begun, my friend, my brother.

SB: It’s exciting.

AAM: Farewell.

SB: Farewell, Lord.
