Today we had two questions for the Archangel Michael. The first was “Why is forgiveness so hard?”. The second was “Why am I always separated from the people I love?” We learned from Spirit that the reason forgiveness feels so hard is because as a species we are hard-wired for fear. And fear creates separation and disallows forgiveness. We learned that we prefer to hold on to our fear rather than forgive, because we have a deep emotional tie to the ancestors and we don’t want to lose the connection to them. Michael said we can upgrade the species by releasing the hard-wiring of fear, and invite the ancestors to join us in the new and improved lineage. He said the notion of forgiveness is somewhat antiquated and incomplete in itself, because it is based on the assumption of separation. And the real solution is not forgiveness, but coming into the 7th chakra where there is only one. For the second question about separation, Michael brought a big, big hug. We were invited to sit in the safe lap of love for an eternal hug. He reminded us – you are important, you are meant to be here, your life counts, you are not alone, you matter. This big hug from Michael is nourishing and helps restore us from the battering life can bring. We never have to leave that lap of love and the eternal hug.
