Where the greatest change can come from

I am Archangel Michael. It is my privilege to join you as the spokesperson for the Council of Love. You are indeed in tumultuous times and this is perceived by many as destructive. However, we ask you to hold faith that the changes are occurring do not necessarily lead to destruction. The contrast that is playing out on the global and certainly national stage for the United States is simply a microcosm of what is occurring in your communities. It shows that there is division, that unification is needed, that meeting others with understanding is not yet the norm in your society.

So regardless of where you stand on the political parties or issues at hand, the opportunity that will make the greatest change is your willingness to contribute at the local level. Do this by creating groups, organizations, or intentional community settings that hold the divine principles of love at their core, regardless of their purpose.

Whether they are for environmental impact, school reform, political change of another sort, or building up new businesses to create jobs-- Anything you choose to create, if it is based in love, will flourish with the support of the new energies that are entering your realm. That is their desire and purpose of expression. So do not be dismayed by the outcome of any large-scale election that occurs in your world.

Because what you are each tasked with is the opportunity to see how you can create peace in your own communities. So, look for those opportunities to find like-minded individuals who wish to create the same as you do, who want to establish a new way of operating as a collective on the local level. There are some communities doing this now already, and many more to come. For in the past the power has been granted, some might say given away - to large scale organizations based on the concept of greed, dominion and control.

And this no longer serves, nor has it ever served, the greater population as a whole. It is time for service orientation to be at the center of all public institutions in a way that is not limited to the few. And as you begin to establish new frameworks for structuring small community efforts to make the change that you seek and desire to see in the world, things will change on a much larger scale than if you elected one individual to try to make this change.

So, while those in positions of power do have influence, there is far greater opportunity to make change from the ground up. Or when communities are strong and united in their efforts to care for all, to build bridges with one another, regardless of party affiliation, for the benefit of the community, then things can really begin to change. For there is no longer the energy of “against-ness,” but cooperation, unification, altruism and true service to the path of love.

So, allow yourself to choose to be inspired by this possibility over being dismayed at whatever you desire to have happen or even if your candidate was elected. This is not the position to place your power in. Let your power be firmly grounded within your own self. Being in your local home community is where you each have the greatest level of impact. Let yourself explore what this might mean for you and what you are naturally inclined to assist with.

That you may experience being the change that you have been seeking for all your lives. That you may have the beautiful experience of awakening one another to a new way of living.
