Archangel Michael: Where do you wish to begin?
Lawrence: OK, let me start with these questions from Steve Beckow. I have three of them here. These are meant to be for public consumption. Number one begins: what is the most important thing we can do to prepare for Ascension?

AAM: The most important element, not only in preparation of Ascension, but in preparation for existence is to go into your heart and anchor in love. There are almost as many varieties of spiritual practice upon your planet as there are throughout the multiverse and each has wonderful elements that we would encourage and never ask you to discard.
And we don’t mean … when we say spiritual … we don’t simply mean religious. The key is to be in the love. But let us be even more specific than that because this channel is also pushing me.
There are a few simple steps and let us give you this as an image I would like to say of a beautiful blue triangle. Think of the outline of the triangle in my blue and it is prayer, meditation and ritual. The core, the inner part of that triangle is love. That is the heart.
Now would you would say to me, Michael, why do you include ritual in this? Why has the Council [of Love] also included ritual? Because, my beloved friends, you are creatures of habit. And let us face it, just like us, you are lovers of ritual and ceremony even when you deny it to the core. It [your denial] is not true. You remember it from Home.
We are always in a state of sublime oneness. But even we, dear hearts, have rituals. But the reason why we suggest ritual to you as part of your preparation for Ascension is that it takes care, particularly, of your mental and emotional bodies. When you enter into your sacred space and your sacred ritual … and we don’t really care which tradition you follow; it is your ritual that you have been taught by your spiritual teachers and gurus … it declares not only to us, because we are always on the lookout, but to you, this is my sacred time, where I am on every level of my being including conscious, subconscious, unconscious, I am connecting with the love. I am becoming and being the love. I am not only connecting to the Godhead but I am connecting to my divine self of love and I am acknowledging and cherishing who I am as well. If there is not love, there is not Ascension. It is that simple.
And how do you do that, through meditation, through a place of being in union with the love, where you shut down and open up that sense of being together, of being out of the way and completely present at the same time.
And that is often the opportunity for us to fill you, to speak to your heart, to give you information, and it is the same as prayer. It is acknowledging our presence in your life We do not mean just the memorized, rote prayer. We mean the heart speaking.
You would not live with a beloved spouse or children and never speak their name and never tell them what you are thinking and speaking, what your heart’s desire is, how you love them.
We are shocked, and it takes a lot to shock us, but we are always surprised and taken aback at how few lightworkers pray and pray in a ritualized, sacred manner, together with meditation. Of course you pray on the fly. You center on the fly, because we are asking you then to come out of that staying in the center of the triangle, in the love, and jump into action.
You are my warriors of peace. That implies action. Each of you in your own sweet, beloved way, in the unique way that you have chosen how to demonstrate on the planet.
As I have said today, how do you eliminate the darkness? You love it into submission. And that isn’t from a place just of gentleness and being too soft. It is from a place of knowing the core and the strength of who you are. That you are strong enough to stand there and command, demand what is right, what is truth, what is of oneness.
And that choice is not just for the individual, because when you go to that place of genuine truth, it benefits everybody. It benefits the collective even when they don’t know it. And there will be many who are still in that place of a little denial or kicking and screaming.
But it is all about love. That is the magnificence of this planet. It is a planet of love. That is why everyone has come to share, why everyone is so anxious and excited. And you can say to me, Lord, it sure hasn’t felt that way or looked that way. And I agree with you, dear heart. There has been a great deal of disillusion but those are the creations of the humans, generation after generation, until they actually took form and function.
Now you are taking your sword of light and you are bringing light and love so that all may see into those deep crevices where lies, and hatred, and guilt, and blame are buried so that they can be healed.
Ascension, yes, is a personal decision. Do you wish to shift or not? It is a choice. But it is also a group activity. It is coming together in love. It is coming together in union. Not just with the human collective. Your star brothers and sisters, with us, the Company of Heaven, with the kingdoms and most sacredly with Gaia.
You can’t have that level of depth, of profound connection, if you are coming from a place of doubt. When you go to the love, to your heart, when you stand there, sit there, lies there, what it does is that it seeps the doubt, it leaches it out of you. So that is what I ask of thee. That is what I ask of all of you.
Be my warriors of peaceful love because we do not have peace until there is love. And I have waited long enough. And so, my brother, have you. Is this clear?
Lawrence: Thank you. Thank you, Michael. When you speak of moving into our heart, is it helpful to simply have attention simply on the cavity, the chest cavity, the actual location, the center of your awareness, just as you would have attention on your hand?
AAM: Yes. The simple answer is yes. So you want to feel for that time of ritual, meditation and prayer, and then carrying it out throughout your day and your sleeping time, that your attention is in your physical chakra point of your heart, say from the top of your solar plexus to your high heart.
So think of it as if your heart has expanded into a huge Valentine heart. So it is coming up towards your clavicle and down towards your solar plexus, all the way out to the side of your body.
And your attention as you move about is there and particularly at the seat of the soul which is, as you are going to visualize, is towards the bottom or the point of the Valentine.
What you are doing is that you are pulling up – as if you have taken an elevator up from the heart of Gaia and landed and gotten off in your heart and down from the heart of Heaven into your heart. So you are pulling down and you are pulling up so that the focus is there.
Now what it is doing is also helping you get out of your head because it is a human addiction to run about a thousand thought patterns and a thousand scenarios in your head, all at the same time. Now that is not a bad thing. The intelligence that you have been gifted [with] and brought to this Earth is a magnificence. It is part of the package and we do not wish you to ignore it or destroy it, the same way we do not wish you to get rid of your delightful personalities or even your ego.
But it is the balance right now that we are really emphasizing and focusing on so by bringing everything back to the heart, to the engine, then you are bringing it to where you truly live. You reference your head. You reference your emotional body. Of course you do. We don’t want you to be just part of a person. Your being, your spirit is massive, with many bodies and many layers. But, yes, bring the focus physically to your heart.
And when you find yourself drifting throughout the day, and you will, just stop for about a moment, bring it back, feel the love, and then keep going. And if you are having trouble doing that, call on me, call on our Universal Mother [i.e., the Holy Spirit, Shakti], call on Yahweh, call on Lord Maitreya, Vishnu, call on anybody, but call.
Lawrence: Thank you so much, Michael. That was wonderful. I have question number two from Steve. What assistance will be provided to those who are borderline to enable them to ascend.
AAM: There are so many borderlines and boundaries in your world. It is but one planet and one way to think about this is one planet and one heart united. The people who are in that place of indecisiveness will be given help from above and below. And let me explain because I understand that you love explanations.
http://www.counciloflove.com/public_html/channelings/100411vendetti.mp3
From above, certainly from their own guides and guardian angels, who have been tugging, pushing, pulling, talking all their lives. So that is the starting point and the given.
But they will also be given help from the legions – the legions – on this side. For I know that I often speak to you, who are of the peaceful warrior legion as it were, but there are legions. For example, there are many who work with compassion and mercy. Well, they will be very busy with this group. The Mother will be very busy with this group.
The other assistance that will come from above, or what you think of as above, because we do not want to overlook it in any way, is the assistance that will be given by your star brothers and sisters. They show up and, yes, it is a bit of a shock to many, especially those you call borderline, but what it does is it demonstrates the miracle of the universe, of the infinite potential and then all of a sudden the human collective also begins to have a deeper and broader understanding of what dimensions and interdimensional shifting means.
Because when your star brothers and sisters show up and say, yes, we bring you gifts of technology, of love and culture and friendship, and, by the way, we’re here to witness the shift of Ascension interdimensionally, people will begin to listen.
From below, Gaia and the kingdoms are already [giving], and will increasingly give, support to these people who are undecided. Speaking not only to their heads, but specifically to their hearts. The point isn’t to give them intellectual information, although that is a piece of it because that group tends to want information, they’re still processing in their heads and not their hearts, but increasingly, and you are already seeing it, they will speak to the heart and in that they begin the expansion and the thawing of the heart because it will feel so good to them to be in that place.
There is much talk of cataclysm, hours of darkness – what isn’t discussed is the beauty, the incredible beauty. Many of these individuals and even groups of what you can call the undecideds will have experience of such incredible beauty, of such tenderness, that their hearts will begin to open, that their hearts will begin to expand, and it may be literally having a tree embrace them, or a fairy appear to them, or an animal address them. Or simply the beauty of Gaia and her beckoning to them – yes, speaking to them. So that help will come from below.
Now we also put the legions of lightholders, what some call lightworkers, into that help from below. Because if you are holding the love, if you are holding the vision of divine alignment and rightness, it is like a virus. It is contagious. There are very few human beings upon your planet who actually truly desire to be miserable. Most beings yearn and seek love. Yes, sometimes in the most perverse ways, but nevertheless, it is almost an automatic or an autonomic response. They seek love.
So when it is in the air, when it is in their neighborhood, when it is down the street or across the country, they will breathe it and it can be as simple… It is not about preaching on a street corner, although there will be some who do that. It is about smiling. It is about looking into the eyes of another human being and sending love. It is about not standing in judgement. It is about extending yourself even if it is just a look, a touch. It is highly contagious. You, dear one, have had that experience. You can be in a terrible mood and walk into a room where everyone loves you, where the mood is high and positive, and within minutes you have shifted. And what appears to be massive has become trivial and you let go.
So there is not one sector, one quadrant that will not be helping those who are sitting on the borderline.
Lawrence: Thank you very much for that, Michael. That was also a wonderful answer. Readers of the 2012 Scenario are dying to know what is happening with Disclosure.
AAM: So are we. [Laughter.] And so are your brothers and sisters who hover. Can you imagine… we know of your impatience and it is founded. And your brothers and sisters of the stars, the fleets that are above you also are impatient. But they will not cross that line if they think it will cause fear and mayhem. That is a decision of the Intergalactic Council. That is what you would think of in your terms as a resolution and we as the other realm .. notice I do not say “higher,” but “other” … we do not override that decision.
So where is Disclosure? It is actually very close. And, yes, I know you say, so what does close mean? Is it actually two thousand years from now or is it tomorrow? We have told you, and continue to tell you, that we anticipate that this will most certainly take place, it has to, prior to the end of the year. But we are also anticipating that it will take place much sooner than that.
It is in the offices of the highest decision-makers in many of your countries. There has been some waffling back and forth but the subtle underlying pressure for Disclosure is so strong that it is pushing it forward. And frankly what is happening, and it is good timing, is that there are so many areas that are sensitive, shall we say, the occupation of cities, the financial distress, the wars, the oppressive regimes, that many of those who previously were not so anxious to introduce this are thinking that it might be the perfect distraction. So you can anticipate this sooner rather than later.
So am I giving you a date, dear one? No. But I suggest you look up every day. We are not talking about cloud formations. We are talking about the truth.
Now one of the things that has been discussed, and it has been discussed at length by various emissaries, is that there is a fear in shall we say some political circles that, if the Disclosure is made, that the population will say that you have been keeping this from us, like all the other dirty little secrets and in fact that is the truth. But we do not wish to emphasize that in any realm.
So there is a scenario that is in play at the moment where it is better to have many little visible sightings that are not denied by any countries or military regimes so that they can say, oh yes, we have contacted them and they come in peace. So that it is a surprise for everybody but it is a happy birthday surprise.
Yes, I do mean happy birthday surprise.
Lawrence: Thank you so much, Michael. Linda, I believe our hour is up.
