Today, the angels dive a little deeper into what they mean about "resistance" to love and how we can easily release it. I'll share an electrical engineer's perspective (since I used to be one) and some ideas about more easily allowing love in.
Have a blessed & beautiful week :)

Releasing resistance to the vast flow of love...Message from the Angels
Dear friends, we love
you so very much, Although it is difficult, at times, to imagine, the Divine and your angels are always attempting to steer you on the path of greatest ease and joy. We never steer you toward "tough lessons." We never steer you towards challenges to overcome. Like nature itself, guiding a river on the easiest course, we attempt to help you avoid obstacles and go around them as easily as possible. Even if you find yourself at what appears to be a "dead end," we try to help you raise your vibration so you can be elevated above apparent circumstances.
All your tough situations and lessons result from only one thing—resistance to love. Thankfully, it often takes quite a lot of repeated resistance before you feel the effects of blocking the love and life force that is always trying to flow in your life. When we speak of resistance, we are not talking about intellectually saying, "I do not want what I want," instead, we are talking about all the tiny thoughts, fears, doubts, focuses, and conversations that oppose what you want.
For example, say you want to heal from a physical condition. You might have a lot of very well-supported reasons why you cannot heal. In the 3D paradigm of reality, these could all be true. Perhaps they are even supported by your physical medicine and science. However, in the paradigm of energy, a new vibration creates a new physical reality. You can change your vibration at any time, and the moment you do so, your cells begin to respond.
Not a single one of you who has a physical problem would say to the universe, "No, I don't want to heal." This is not the type of resistance we are talking about. We are talking about resisting the flow of love.
The Divine whispers, "You can heal," but if you're focused on a diagnosis that says you cannot, your energy is running contrary to the love the Divine is offering. Without meaning to, you are resisting love. A more loving thought would be, "God, I want to heal. Thank you. Let me know what to do and when." Then, focus on anything you can enjoy right now. Surrender to love.
The Divine whispers, "I can guide you," but if you are focused on the fact that you don't know what to do, you are resisting this love. Far better to tell yourself, "When I don't know how God does." Surrender to love.
The Divine wants to help you. You feel a strong desire to rest, but you feel you must research treatments. That is resisting love. You could instead surrender to love, take a nap, and wake up with guided clarity.
While the Divine is sending you signals of hope, inspiration, guidance, and possibility, these other fearful thoughts and focuses, no matter how true in the 3D world, run contrary to the flow that is trying to assist you.
Every time you complain about not having what you want, you are resting the flow, trying to get you there. Every time you explain the reasons why you can't have what you want or haven't had what you want, you are blocking the flow, trying to guide you there. Every time you doubt you will have what you want, you are resisting the love trying to assist you. All of these things are quite human. There is no judgment about any of them. Nonetheless, they block you from receiving the love and assistance that wants to flow into your reality.
So instead of speaking words of resistance—"I can't. I don't. I can't afford. I don't know how. It has never happened and probably won't. I'm not worthy. I'm being tested., and so forth—" speak words that bestow blessings upon yourself.
I don't know how, but God does.
I can't do this alone, but I am not alone. The Creator of Universes has my back.
I can't afford this right now, but the source of all abundance can figure it out.
It has not happened yet, but I am focused on the good now, so more will flow.
It has not happened yet, but I am focused on the good now, so more will flow.
It has not happened yet, but I am focused on the good now, so more will flow.
I feel like I'm being tested, but the universe does not test me.
I don't feel worthy of having it easy but the universe thinks I am. Whether I think I am deserving or not, the Divine does. Whether anyone has told me I'm worthy or not, God thinks I am.
Whether I was loved or not by humanity, I am loved by the Source that breathes life into me.
I deserve to feel good. I deserve to be kind to myself. I deserve a good moment now, and now, and now again.
I can do this. I can find something good right now to enjoy. And I can do it again. I can surrender to allowing the angels to help me with a deep breath. This isn't so hard after all. One moment, by one moment, by one moment, I can stop resisting love and let it in.
Letting love in, dear ones, might be a glance at the blue sky and a deep breath that feels like a little relief.
Letting love in might mean putting on a song that you enjoy and taking a moment to truly enjoy it.
Letting love in might be taking a nap, reading an inspiring quote, or having the tantrum you truly feel like having until you get it up, out, and over with!
Letting love in is allowing yourself to be yourself first, wherever you are, however you feel, with total self-acceptance, and then looking around, or looking inward, for something to feel a little better about.
Letting love in might involve enjoying a simple, seemingly meaningless pleasure. Does love have to be complicated? Does it have to look a certain way? Or can you surrender to the tiniest joy in which you can begin to feel the vibration of love? This is how you release resistance.
Letting love in might involve changing your stories. You all, regularly tell God what he cannot do in your life. You don't mean to, but every time you justify why you can't or don't have something you're explaining why God cannot work a miracle in your life! "I can't afford this." "I'm too old." "My ship has sailed..." and on you go. Dear ones the Divine cares not about your limitations! The Divine has no limitations. Don't argue to keep them. Release your resistance to love. So much in life happens that you do not control and do not understand, and yet God does.
Letting love in might mean focusing on people, situations and behaviors you do like rather than giving so much airtime to the ones you don't. We're not suggesting you try to enjoy negative behaviors or pretend you like things you don't. We're simply saying, shift your focus. If you stood at a buffet, would you focus on someone behaving badly or the food you didn't like, or wouldn't you rather load up your plate with food you like and go back to the people you do enjoy?
Be easy and kind to yourselves. You are all diligently persevering in learning a brand new paradigm of reality, and you are all, without exception, making incredible progress. Even when you take the slightest opportunity to be kinder to yourself, you release resistance, open to the flow of love, and allow your life to become just a tiny bit easier, more secure, and delightful.
Love will never stop flowing, dear ones. It is there for the taking, even in life's tiniest pleasures. Stop resisting that, and you will gradually open to a mighty flow that will bring the bigger things you desire as well.
God Bless You! We love you so very much. -- The Angels
Thirteen Grandmother Moon Teachings: A Sacred Indigenous Journey
[The moon] symbolizes tranquility, guidance, and protection, and its phases are interwoven with spiritual teachings that span generations.
In Indigenous cultures, the moon holds a position of profound significance. It symbolizes tranquility, guidance, and protection, and its phases are interwoven with spiritual teachings that span generations. The Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island, now known as North America, have long honored the moon’s wisdom through the Thirteen Grandmother Moon Teachings. These teachings, based on the lunar calendar, offer invaluable insights into the natural world and the human spirit.
1. Spirit Moon (Mnido Giizis – January):
Spirit Moon, the first moon of Creation, arrives with the Northern Lights. It encourages us to embrace silence and recognize our place within the vast tapestry of Great Mystery’s creatures.
2. Bear Moon (Mkwa Giizis – February):
Bear Moon, the second moon, marks the beginning of a vision quest initiated in the fall. During this time, we learn to see beyond the ordinary and communicate through energy rather than words.
3. Sugar Moon (Ziissbaakdoke Giizas – March):
Sugar Moon, the third moon, coincides with the running of maple sap, one of the Anishinaabe’s vital medicines. It encourages balance in our lives, much like regulating our blood sugar levels.
4. Sucker Moon (Namebine Giizis – April):
Sucker Moon, the fourth moon, illustrates the journey of the sucker into the Spirit World, where it receives cleansing techniques. Upon its return, it purifies the path for the spirits and cleanses the water beings.
5. Flower Moon (Waawaaskone Giizis – May):
Flower Moon, the fifth moon, celebrates the Spirit sides of plants as they bloom, offering powerful healing energy. It encourages us to explore our spiritual essence.
6. Strawberry Moon (Ode’miin Giizis – June):
Strawberry Moon, the sixth moon, carries the medicine of reconciliation. Communities often hold annual feasts during this time, emphasizing unity and letting go of judgments.
7. Raspberry Moon (Mskomini Giizis – July):
Raspberry Moon, the seventh moon, ushers in great changes. It teaches gentleness and kindness and the wisdom to pass through life’s thorns.
8. Thimbleberry Moon (Datkaagmin – August):
Thimbleberry Moon, the eighth moon, honors the thimbleberry, a protector of the sacred circle of life. It helps us recognize and understand teachings from the Spirit World.
9. Corn Moon (Mdaamiin Giizis – September):
Corn Moon, the ninth moon, teaches us about the cycle of life. Each cob of corn with its 13 rows of multicolored seeds symbolizes future generations, and we must prepare for their Earth Walk.
Falling Leaves Moon, the tenth moon, adorns Mother Earth with vibrant colors. It’s a time when all of Creation offers gratitude, reminding us of the miracles around us.
11. Freezing Moon (Mshkawji Giizis – November):
Freezing Moon, the eleventh moon, brings the Star Nation closest to us. It’s a period of preparation for fasting and a time to learn sacred teachings and songs.
12. Little Spirit Moon (Mnidoons Giizis Oonhg – December):
Little Spirit Moon, the twelfth moon, represents a time of healing. It offers visions of the spirits and good health, guiding us on the Red Road with pure intentions.
13. Big Spirit Moon (Mnidoons Giizis – Blue Moon):
The thirteenth moon, the Big Spirit Moon, serves as a purification and healing phase. It involves a three-month spiritual journey and imparts knowledge about the healing powers of the universe.
Conclusion:
The Thirteen Grandmother Moon Teachings are a testament to the deep connection between Indigenous peoples and the natural world. These lunar teachings remind us of our place within Creation and the profound wisdom that surrounds us. They guide us through life’s seasons, encouraging us to embrace silence, unity, balance, and healing. As we journey through the lunar calendar, we not only connect with the Earth but also with the spirits and our own inner truths.

A grey bearded old man and a young man were observing the blooming of a lotus, sitting on a shore of a silent pond, when a young man interrupted the silence.
“Master, why the meaning of life is hidden from us? We meditate trying to understand the logic of things happening around us, we see separate parts and we are aware of their interrelations. But all of our efforts appear to be vain when a new component appears, destroying all of the previous logical constructions.”
“The meaning of life,” the teacher reluctantly turned his eyes from the flower, “can only be understood by someone whose mind isn’t clouded with earthly troubles, wishes and passions. Only new-borns are close to that state. The essence of a new-born reminds a lotus, soaring on the unshakable stillness of the pond. The surface of their soul isn’t touched by the wind of aspirations, the rain of attachments, the snow of grievance, and the ice of loss. Their moistness isn’t dried by fears, malodorous bubbles of fear don’t take to the surface the slime from the bottom, their shores are empty, and the forest by the shore doesn’t defile the child’s clean water with fallen leaves, branches and needles. And later the World appears, with all of its meaningless worldliness. On the shores of the pond an impenetrable thicket of teachers grows up, mentors, friends, enemies, lovers, children, relatives. Constantly, the surface of the water becomes inseparable from the thick garbage on the shore. Every word, every moral, every kiss, every punch or kindness, every our influence disturbs the untouched soul of a child, making him to grow up and go further and further from the understanding of the meaning of life.”
“But we can’t get rid of all of this,” the student shouted out heatedly. “We are people! Our life consists of the course of these actions, this coil, the boiling of these passions and wishes! Or are you asking people to become ferns?!!”
“You’ve understood everything right, my boy,” a light smile touched the lips of the old man. “You want to search for the meaning of life? Search for it. But to do that, you will need to refuse every carnal wish, attachment and feeling, become the grass, the fern, go live in the temple, become a hermit, rip all of the ties that join you with worldly troubles and passions, and then, possibly, you will be able to go back to the beginning. But what all of this is for? Is the search worth it? Ask yourself this question and if the answer will be negative, remain the person between the people.”
The teacher turned his eyes towards the lotus again and finished, “And about the meaning of life you will always be able to talk with friends, while sitting in the shade of your home terrace, listening to the cheerful laughter of children, and drinking green aroma tea, that your loving wife brings you.”
The truth is, everyone who meets you genuinely wants to MEET THE REAL YOU, The best YOU is the authentic, bruised, brave, perfectly imperfect you. You are beautifully awesome.
Story about overcoming adversity
The Snake was crawling on the ground. The Eagle flew to her and said: – How unfortunate you are, doomed to crawl all your life. Not like me – I am destined to fly. The Snake looked at the Eagle and said: – You are right Eagle, I can’t fly. But only I know what it means to fly. – How can you know that? – The Eagle smiled, – you don’t have wing! – Thoughts are my wings, – said the Snake proudly, – Dreams are my heaven. While crawling on the ground I close my eyes and I see the heaven. I imagine that I’m crawling in heaven not on the ground. Yes, it’s impossible to crawl in heaven, you can only fly. It means that in those moments I am flying. In my free thoughts I am learning to fly, Eagle. With my soul I am arising to the high heaven, so when my time comes and my life as a snake comes to an end, I could ascend into the blue heaven, into the endless heaven and fly, to fly and not think about anything, enjoying my freedom. And I won’t be afraid to fly, because it won’t be a new thing for me. For you Eagle, the wings were given as you were born, but not for me. But the heaven will make us equal. We will be flying together one day, Eagle, under the clouds. Only I will be stronger and freer than you, because I have learned how to fly without having wings, simply crawling on the ground. Both things are available for me. I am not afraid to lose my wings because I know how to crawl, and I am not afraid to gain wings because I know how to fly. And what will you do, Eagle, if you lose your wings?
