A MESSAGE FROM ARIEL EXCELSIS ELOHIM
(April 23, 1999)

Celestial Greetings Beloved Ones,

Once again, we were kept awake by the Masters, Angels and our Godself last night with wonderful thoughts of enlightenment which we would like to share with you on this most Glorious Day. We believe that since we are all interconnected, many of you will read this information and say "I knew that!" but Sananda has suggested that we share this information with you, just as a reminder. We are all so busy with our Spiritual work and our Ascension Process that we sometimes overlook the "simple" insights that we have awakened to.

Have you ever noticed how powerful your "hands" really are? Of course, those who do any kind of healing work with their hands know this, but we are asking you now to allow your imaginations to flow for a while
and journey with us into this "insight."

Have you ever wondered how we came to put our hands in prayer position while conversing with God, the Masters and Angels? Have you ever wondered why we instinctively place our hands on a "hurt"?
Do you remember how soothing your mother's hands were when you had a tummy ache or when you were sick? Why is it that petting animals (especially dogs and cats) brings us so much joy and healing?
Why is it we are constantly touching those we love?
And . . . Have you ever noticed how often we use the word "touch"?

1. Please keep in touch.
2. He/She touches my very soul.
3. I am so touched by your words.
4. Sometimes I think I'm really out of touch.
5. You touch me like no other person have ever done.
6. Reach out . . . reach out and touch someone.

We are sure that you will ALL come up with many often-used sayings that include the word
"touch" so we will not list more. We think you've got the idea.

We ask you at this time to put your hands in prayer position, take a deep breath, and let it out.
As you relax, you can feel the energy flow from one hand to the other and perhaps you can even feel a tingling, warm sensation. Of course our medical doctors will say that it is body heat transference, but it is really much more than this. When you place your hands together your are creating a circle of Divine Energy which flows continuously from one hand, up your arm, into your Heart Center, down the other arm and out your hand into your other hand. You ARE creating a Vortex of Divine Love Energy which continues to flow and intensify the more you do it. As this vortex continues to accelerate and intensify it radiates outward, filling your entire being with Divine Love and creating an aura around all of your bodies. This Divine Love not only serves to open and align your chakras (energy centers), it also assists others who are drawn to your Light
to heal themselves and experience God's Love.

THIS, Beloved Ones, is something we do instinctively because we KNOW (either consciously or unconsciously) that our Christ Light dwells in our Heart Center and that this is the place where the God within us manifests the miracles that happen every day of our lives.

AND, when we touch others with our hands, we are transferring the Divine Love Energy from our Heart Centers to them. This is why it feels so powerful when we shake hands with those who come from the Light.
This is why we want to hold hands with our loved ones . . . to share the Divine Love of All That is.

We use our hands for many things. Can you imagine how powerful it would be if we held our hands together in prayer position for a moment or two before planting seeds, or kneading bread, or cleaning vegetables? How about putting your hands together in prayer position for a moment and then placing them over the food you are about to eat? Can you imagine how wonderful it would be to eat food that had been activated by Divine Love? (Please note that it is really not necessary to first put your hands in prayer posisition. But know that if you do, you will definitely intensify the Divine Love Energy that radiates out from your Heart Center).

We would like to share one more "insight" with you at this time. As you know, EVERYONE has a Heart Center, and within that Heart Center dwells the Christ Light. Some have built a brick wall around their Heart Centers because of a false belief pattern that it will protect them from being hurt. In actuality, they are defeating their purpose because only Divine Love can protect you from being hurt. And, this wall prevents you from interconnecting with God, the Masters, Angels your Godself, Mother Earth and all lifeforms.

In the past, you were taught that to love yourself was a selfish act. And then, to confuse matters even more, you were taught that you are unable to love others until you could learn to love yourself. First of all, you DO love yourselves or you wouldn't be here (you may dislike certain aspects of your personality, but as you continue to evolve you will understand how "perfect" you really are).

Remember Sananda's words when he was Jesus 2000 years ago: Love others as you do yourself.
He did not say, "love yourself" . . . and you will never hear Sananda say that you must "learn" to love yourself, for he knows that you do. AND what he really meant by saying "Love others as you do yourself" is that YOU are GOD, and "others" are God, and therefore you should love ALL because ALL that exists is God.

Again, you may dislike certain aspects of the personalities of others, but all life forms on this planet are here for a specific reason and were created "perfectly" to fulfill their Divine Purpose. Many "contracted" to be the protagonists and just as many contracted to be the antagonists. If this wasn't the case, there would be no challenges, and there would be no enlightenment. And so, ALL is perfect and exactly as it should be.

Those who build walls around their Heart Centers are unable to comprehend this concept, and so
do not love others as they do themselves. However, this doesn't mean that they can't.
All they have to do is take their walls down, brick by brick, and allow their Heart Centers to be free.
Of course, this requires that they make the choice to do so.

The more we allow Divine Love to radiate out from our Heart Centers, the more we will assist others in awakening to the power of Love by dismantling their brick walls. Even though there will be those who may never make this choice, there are thousands who simply need to experience the joys and miracles of Love to make the choice. These are the Light Beings we are here to assist, and they are now being drawn to our Light.

We invite you all to meditate on this and see what wonderful ideas you manifest for assisting others as you do. We then ask you all to share your ideas with Our Heavenly Family through our Message Boards.
Most of all, we ask you to "reach out and touch someone" with your Divine Love.

We Love you Dearly.
NAMASTE
