I recently read a story that made me realize its time share this experience.
Christmas 2011. I had been on the path of becoming more connected to mother earth, working on developing my own life energy and what I could do with it to help myself and others. At this point in time I was comfortable in speaking with my lovely spirit guide and often when in the shower I would experience great moments of clarity. Sometimes new ideas would 'fall' into my head and help me see certain things differently, figure out concepts that seemed too complex so on and so forth.
At this point I should backtrack. A few days prior to this my guide and I were talking in our own special way. She imparts her part of the conversation with feelings more than words and I respond with verbal thoughts (its pretty fun, hard to get used to but also as natural as breathing once you let go). I was thinking about how much fun it would be to use the wind to fly (don't worry as I sit here writing this its very much still a goal, not something I've mastered). I had a bunch of different thoughts on how to do it and ultimately concluded wings would be pretty awesome as I could use them to catch the wind with more ease as I feel bad asking the wind to carry all my weight. It was an innocent thought, just a fun idea and then she stopped talking. She only does this when it's time for me to put something together and figure something out. I realize what she is thinking and my immediate reaction is "No, that's not possible". To which she responds something along the lines of "To many so is our conversation and working with living energy". Touche my fair guide. This brief interchange makes a large part of my life make sense. I've always had this little voice in the back of my head saying that flight is possible there's simply a piece of me missing. I would not think but FEEL with my body that I've done it before. But I always disregarded this as ridiculous. As many of us here know, you may say one thing, but if you feel it in your heart and soul; you're just kidding yourself. So I sit with this for a while, and start asking questions. What do they look like, will they physically manifest or are the energetic, why do I have them? She tells me to wait and I will find out. I've come to love and trust her as a part of myself so I did just that-I waited.
So here I am on Christmas waiting for my significant other to come home from spending time with her family. My family lives far away and I was having difficulty relating to them through my changes so I focused on meditating and creating psychic shields for Christmas presents. I took a shower to really chill and reflect on things, and received my clearest channel to this day. My head became tingly and warm my body felt so peaceful. I wasn't unfamiliar with an entity speaking through me as my guide does it often. So I let it happen. Forgive me I don't remember the exact words but I'll never forget the message.
"You know in your heart balance must exist. You've spent a great deal of time on this and feeling it within. Without Love there can be no fear and vice versa, everything is coupled yet contrasted by its opposite. We are collectively living in a period of great change and new things are presenting themselves that have never been seen before. There are many of you out there that have been pushed and tested to learn how important balance truly is and rather than simply be able to conceptualize this your kind feel it. You seem uneasy and its clear you don't believe yourself capable of doing great things but you are."
It is at this point I saw myself in my mind's eye. On my right was a wing so white I feel uncomfortable referring to it by color, and the left was occupied by an equally beautiful jet black wing.
"Yes, this you. You are being shown this because you and several others have been blessed with a great gift: your energy embodies balance. If you learn to harness it you will be capable of anything, if you don't it very may cripple you, confuse you and become a great struggle to live with. You should understand why you've had to live the life you have. It is highly imperative that you all with these special wings LEARN these concepts on your own to a degree so that you are prepared for the gravity of this gift. That said all of you have great potential, but not all of you will choose the same paths. Some will grow to stand idly in the middle preferring to be left alone, others will lean towards one polarity. You will eclipse all of us, both sides have gambled on you for you have the potential to tip the scales should you collectively so choose. You must find your brothers and sisters for only you can find your purpose and your origins together. Know that we have faith in you and trust you."
At this point all I could think of was "Who is this?" I knew it was not my guide but they felt so genuine and loving I can't adequately describe it. In reply I received just a simple modest name. One that has made it difficult to share this anywhere for fear of being called a liar. I don't expect this to go down much differently.
"Michael"
So there I am in the shower told that I have to find people who probably don't know that they have this gift, much less wings, that we are energetic powerhouses and we'll be instruments of change and will likely end up fighting one another on what we want. All this from an Arch Angel. Right. I had a tough time with this one. My girl friend of the time helped me to validate some of the energy work I did and she is excellent at grounding with mother earth. Without sharing this encounter yet I asked her to put her hands near my back, her expression told me enough. I have since grown a lot, and there's much more to go. But I no longer fear embarrassment and know there will be those who have difficulty with what I'm sharing. But I feel the call to connect and I've neglected this for too long. If this resonates with you please contact me here or through e-mail. Not all of our wings shall look exactly the way mine do but we will have much in common. I've already found others but there are more of us out there and we must support one another through what ever we are going through. I may not know you but I love you with all of my heart. As far as this 'great power' concept, don't let it intimidate you. You may not be whatever I am but when you tap into your divine source and truly accept that you are capable of anything; you will be. I truly believe that those with wings like mine will simply learn this before others and that we shall be part of the movement that shows this to our family en masse. Namaste En La Kech and Blessed Be All.
