(I am using the masculine form rather than  him/her etc. as it gets rather laborious, but we all know, hopefully, that messengers can be female and male…even if history would have us believe otherwise!)

“Throughout history there have been many attempts to ‘rein in’ the unruly elements of humanity. On some levels these attempts have failed but on other levels they have been successful. You cannot always see how a ‘development’ has succeeded unless you look at the many instances which have proved successful. In a way, what we are saying, is that each time a messenger has come we have tried to instil in them a feeling of ‘connectedness’ but this has not always worked, for one reason or another. Each messenger has come with, say. a letter of the alphabet. Each letter has its place and function within the alphabet and sits besides his neighbour in its proper order. In order to understand this you will need to suspend your own beliefs around what you see as a messenger’s role.

There are three types of messenger. On the one hand, each messenger brings his own awareness to bear. He is, after all, human, with all of his strengths and weaknesses. On the other hand he is in direct communication with other realms of existence and is able to tap into those realms’ with ease.

The challenge for each messenger is to suspend what he believes to be the ‘right way’ and to follow the way that we have set out. This is not always easy as you know, but each messenger is tested and trained to a high degree before he chooses the time to incarnate as a messenger.

The three types of messenger are these:

1) The messenger which comes as a pure channel in order to bring teachings to the masses. You can see many of these incarnate now on earth. These messengers bring a ‘note of truth’ and awaken in the listener/reader the remembrance of their soul’s existence in other realms. These are then the ‘awakeners’.

2) These messengers face the toughest of challenges, incarnating into ‘hotbeds’ of unrest in order to bring balance and the note of ‘service’ into the society in which they live. These souls see and recognise what is out of balance and then they seek to install the light-codes of ‘awareness’ which will open the hearts of the people in those areas. These messengers face many challenges as often the places in which they work contain deep layers of unrest and turmoil, going back many centuries which need to be renegotiated and released before the ‘seeding’ can occur.

3) The third class of messenger is the artist, the ‘Unifier’ of worlds through the written word, the painted canvas, whatever form that takes, and architecture. They bring their soul’s awareness into the physical world and create ‘light’ through their work. Their messages are at once works of beauty and of teaching, showing the masses the mystical ‘realities’ of life. Their images and words inspire multitudes of people to bring their own soul’s note into existence, through their own skills of creating. 

Now not all messengers will choose only one route but will often use all three routes, to one degree or another, to pass on their message, but one route will be the dominant route. For this reason you see many people ‘channelling’ their soul’s awareness through the creative arts. It has an easier ‘flow’ than the first and second routes, as people are often more accepting of creations of physical beauty, be they words or images.

These then are the three types of messengers. The messengers themselves might change, but the message remains the same.

Each messenger brings with him his own soul intention but the community at large can misuse those intentions. But even when a messenger’s ‘plan’ has gone awry, it is not a complete failure. There are always some who have understood and who live those inspirations until the day they die. They are blessed by their interactions with the messenger and his work, and so their souls have matured in a way which others have not. The DNA of their children, and their children’s children, now carries the essence of the ‘message’ in their bodies and these children continue to be born, living their lives in the best way possible, before they reach their own death, in this physical world.

So you see, not all is lost. Seeds are sown, which will eventually grow into fields of ripe corn, which then feeds others. For those who carry this DNA, their lives are filled with trust in the Divine. They live quiet, focussed lives, influencing those around them in a quiet, but generous way. They become the ‘way-showers’ and in turn then become the messengers too.

We hope this helps you to understand the purpose of your work and the purpose of those who have gone before. Rejoice that your own ‘changed’ DNA will carry forward into the next generations to influence and ‘impress’ the people of the future, a noble cause indeed.

Now you see too why often these messengers have large families!

We hope that this has been of some use to you in your endeavour to understand the meaning of ‘messengers’. “
