Shams-Tabriz (S): This brings me to something that Val and I where discussing a couple of days ago. We wanted to initiate a conversation about; again it truly is my own process of unfurling my wings and discovering my divinity soaring with the angels.

It’s this wonderful dance between choosing, between trusting, between recognizing and embracing the flow and between surrendering. I see that each one of these are critical factors in the expression of the conscious individual. I’ll preface that by sort of saying that the word consciousness, from this momentary perspective that I have in my life, I know that I am not with the fullness of awareness of soaring with the angels meaning that I do not have the breath of fuse and the depth of vision that you have in your spaces.

How important it is to choose, and not choosing is making a choice...

I definitely feel my connection to you and I absolutely trust that connection and I trust the guidance and the wisdom from you and I choose for that, but I don’t necessarily see the road ahead, the path ahead, the obstacles ahead, the opportunities ahead as clearly. As such I see this incredible dance between living my life and making choices as an individual and also embracing the relationship that I have with my own higher expanded self as well as you the angels who in a sense represent that to me. You represent my own higher self back to me through individuated personalities, through the greater aspects of me. So can we talk about this a little bit, because this understanding that I have has sort of becomes accentuated by virtue of the recent experiences that I have had in my life?

Archangel Michael (M): Let us speak first to the first step that you offered, choice. You are aware that we have gone over and talked about this on many occasions. How important it is to choose, and not choosing is making a choice, and how you hear from me dear one that I am always, how you say, hammering you over the head to choose and choose.

S: Yes.

M: It is important for you humans to choose and if you do not like which direction you have gone or it does not suit you, choose again. This we have spoken to you about several times. Now we will say the next thing that is appropriate for us to speak to you about is to trust.

S: Yes.

M: When it comes to the subject of trusting many of you, we do not say all of you, for Shams you do not fall into this category, but many of you have a hard time in trusting that things will work out for one’s highest good.

S: Yes.

M: And so you humans may say “okay you tell me to choose and choose and choose but when do I start to trust what I choose or to trust that I belong where I belong or to take a certain path” something such as this do you understand?

S: Yes.

M: We will say that there will be times – indicators or signs is a better word, when you need to release, to let go of your choice or non-choice whichever it may be, and to see the signs as a way of us telling you “okay now let us make a choice for you”. Let us guide you to the most appropriate place or we will say the best place for you in the moment to go.

S: Yes.

M: And so it is for you to pay attention as we have said in the past, to the signs, and to know that it is us speaking to you or orchestrating that it is better for you to follow this way.

S: Yes.

M: If you do not mind, we will use you as an example dear one.

S: Of course, all the time. I am here for that.
