Archangel Gabriel: Well the eclipse that occured today and was experienced by many on your planet is symbolic of change. It is as if it is announcing the solar eclipse that will occur in just two weeks time.
But how can the moon “announce” an event of the sun? I don’t understand.
Archangel Gabriel: This is not for you to understand in the way that you are accustomed to understanding. You see, this is a different vibration that is being born. It is with the moon’s activity today in relationship to your Earth and the sun that the energy is shifting. It is growing, it is evolving.
When you look at an eclipse, what do you see?
We’re not supposed to look at it. It can hurt our eyes.
Archangel Gabriel: Funny! I can feel your frustration right now as you strive to know how best to play your part. You will learn. You will know. Now, if you were to look at the eclipse and protect your eyes, what would you see?
I would see a shadow gradually covering a portion of the moon.
Archangel Gabriel: Precisely! And what does the moon represent?
My reflection?
Archangel Gabriel: Again, yes! So if a shadow is covering a part of your reflection, what are you able to see?
The darker aspects of myself that lurk behind the light.
Archangel Gabriel: Brilliant! And what can you do with that opportunity?
Learn what comprises my shadows. Who and what are in there and how I can best leverage the gifts that they present.
Archangel Gabriel: Keep going. Let’s get specific. Try finishing this sentence… “If I had to choose one darker quality within me right now that needs to be brought to the surface and shown to the world as a gift, it would be __________________.”
Oh. Making me very vulnerable here aren’t you. Well, I guess it would be just what I’m doing right now. Transparency. Exposing my innermost dialogue with you. My inner dialogue that is typically reserved for my private journal and reveals my true human qualities that I often try to hide because I believe they make me seem weaker.
The part of me that doubts, that cries, that screams at God.
Archangel Gabriel: And you think other teachers and experts in your field don’t do the same?
I assume they do, but they don’t share that with the world. They hide it because if they let their followers know that they also have fears and doubts at times, that they get angry with the divine answers, how can they then be a proper teacher of the techniques we all need?
Archangel Gabriel: Aha! There it is! You are stuck on being “proper”. What the people who are destined to learn from you need is to see your vulnerabilities. They need to know a pathway for pulling themselves out of dark places. You know how to do this, because you do it so well yourself.
I suppose I do.
Archangel Gabriel: Yes. You do. It may take a few days, but you are a master of your relationship with your angels.
Thank you. I try.
Archangel Gabriel: Now go. Do what you do best. Be yourself. Expose this. You are loved. We will discuss the solar eclipse at another time because that has a whole other purpose!
I invite you to try this exercise yourself. Complete the sentence that Archangel Gabriel gave me and see what you come up with dear earth angel…
“If I had to choose one darker quality within me right now that needs to be brought to the surface and shown to the world as a gift, it would be __________________.”
Trust that all your qualities that you may view as dark really do have a very bright silver lining! It is that brilliance that your angels see within you and help you to foster and expand upon.
