Assuming Love
One of life's greatest gifts is that warm feeling that
comes from being loved. It is something that we will
spend a lifetime seeking and once we find it, or think
we have found it, will do whatever it takes to keep that
warm feeling alive. The knowledge that love may be
there, around a corner, is what allows us to continue to
look for it, no matter how many times the search has
turned out badly in the past. The memory of a love,
any love, no matter how brief, can sustain us for a
lifetime. Because our concept of love is all about
feeling, it is tightly intertwined with our emotions and
how we feel about ourselves. And mixed in with those
emotions are many assumptions about love and what
we will be and do if we have it in our lives. We also
have many assumptions about how those who love us
will (or should) treat us.
While I don't want to dampen anyone's enthusiasm
about looking for love, I must point out that it is our
assumptions about love and what it may bring us that
fuel our desire for it. We assume that we will be
happier and our lives will be better if we have love in
our lives. And this is not just about romantic love, but
all kinds of love-from our families, friends, co-workers,
employers, the woman at the coffee shop-everyone
we are in contact with gives us some measure of love,
which we often view as acceptance. We don't assume
that everyone should love us in the same way (like the
woman in the coffee shop), but it is nice when we have
acceptance from others. And, then we take it that
extra step and that is where we run into problems.
It is not always who loves us that we take issue
with, it is how they love us. Our assumptions about
love include what others should say, how they should
behave, how they should treat us and what they do for
us when there is love at stake that becomes a problem.
We forget, in our search for love, that others will give
us as much love as they can and that does not always
measure up to our assumptions. More importantly, we
forget that others can only love and appreciate us to
the degree that we love and appreciate ourselves.
Often those who we believe don't love us actually do,
but they can't express their love to us in the way that
we need or want them to. It doesn't mean that love
isn't there, it may not manifest as we assumed it
would, or create the result in our lives that we
expected. And then we're disappointed, disillusioned
and can be led to feel that we are unlovable.
Everyone that we come into contact with gives us the
gift of love in one form or another. And this includes so
much more than romantic love, something that we
overlook when we are inundated with images and
messages about the 'perfect love', what is should look
like and how we should feel. If we take an inventory of
all of the people in
our lives, we will find that there are a wide variety of
loving relationships available to us. Our lesson with love
is to not make any assumptions about it in any form.
We mustn't assume that if we don't have romantic love
in our lives, we don't have any love at all. And if others
don't behave a certain way, it is not that they don't
love us. They do, but in their own way and if that isn't
enough or right for us, then the next step is our
choice. This week, think about the people in your life
who love you-who respect and honor you and who, in
their own way, show it. Appreciate them because they
all have a gift for you, the gift of love. Even those who
do not show you love in the manner that you need it
have a gift for you, the gift of showing you how to love
yourself by acknowledging the importance of your
needs and creating a reality that supports them. It is
when we make no assumptions about love that we can
make choices that will bring the love that we seek to
us, in all of its many forms.

Blessings to you all!
The August article is posted on the Uriel Heals website
and this month's message is entitled Living by
Assumption. How much of our life do we
assume, knowing that things will happen a certain way
because that is the way it has always been? Are we
are of how much we assume to be true without
question? This weeks article discusses what we assume
to be true about love and how that can lead us to
believe that others don't love or appreciate us. When
we assume that someone who loves us will act in
certain ways, we become disillusioned when that
doesn't happen. Do we assume that having love in our
lives will make us happy, that we will be more fulfilled
and that our lives will somehow be better? And if that
doesn't happen, what do we do? Read more in this
week's message. The topic of this week's Today's
Children talks about the disillusioned children and adult
Indigos and how their powers of discernment can help
them create the foundation for changing the paradigm
that they have come to overthrow.

Giving Advice
There are a few people in my life who like to give me
advice. Generally it's the unpleasant kind, such as
telling me that I should not wear my hair a certain way,
or that a certain color does not look good on me, or
that I should not do certain things. I know that they
do it because they believe that they are being helpful. I
call this 'double edged' advice because it has a double
agenda that serves to both undermine me and make
them look better. Rather than become thoroughly
annoyed with them, I have learned to see past
their 'helpfulness' and see the advice for what it is,
pushing me gently into a place where they feel more
comfortable with me, so that I fit more easily into their
world. Their advice, well meaning though it may be is
their way of telling me that they are uncomfortable
around me and they wish that I was less like 'me' and
more like them.
Their well-meaning advice is a gift to me because after
years of receiving 'double-edged' advice that I didn't
want or ask for, I am very careful about the advice I
give to others. Before saying things that begin with
phrases like 'you should,' 'I would' or 'why don't you I
carefully consider what will follow. Am I really trying to
be helpful or is there something else at work? Do I know
what affect my advice will have on them and how they
will take it? Do I have an agenda with the advice that I
am giving to others? Is the advice going to someone
who has asked for it? We don't always wait until we're
asked to give advice to others and often our well-
intentioned advice can have unpleasant consequences,
for us and for the other person.
Advice, like opinions, is often more readily accepted
when it's asked for even if it is all we can do to keep
our advice to ourselves. We give advice to others
because we want to help them but is that what we are
really doing? When we take an objective look at the
advice that we are giving and our reasons for giving it,
we can learn a lot about how we think. For example, a
friend wears a slinky red dress to a cocktail party and
everyone admires her. We could say something
like 'What a beautiful dress' and make her feel good
about her choice of attire. Or, we could say 'You should
have worn black, like everyone else?' which has a
completely different effect. The first statement is
complimentary; the second says a lot about how we
feel about the situation. Which would you rather hear
from someone?
Anyone who has received advice that they didn't want
or which was painful or disappointing to hear knows
how damaging it can be. As we move through the Shift
we are learning about ourselves and how we interact
with others. Assessing how, when and to whom we give
advice is one way for us to practice unconditional love
and acceptance with everyone in our lives. It is also
presents with an opportunity to practice detachment,
understanding that it is often what we say to others
that says the most about us. Advice, like many things,
is better when given in small doses when it is
requested. And we are putting ourselves in the best
possible light when we are kind and gracious with our
advice and wait until it is asked for so that our advice
becomes a gift given with love. If there is someone in
your life who gives 'double-edged' advice, before
getting angry, consider what they are saying about
themselves when they say things about you. And then
forgive them, knowing that they are doing the best
that they can. And then move on, after all, whose
opinion is more important in your life, theirs or yours?

Uriel's Message
There is only one lesson that all of humanity needs to
learn to bring heaven on earth, and it is the lesson of
forgiveness. There is a single message of the Shift and
it is to love and forgive each other. As the energy
quickens and you feel the Shift energy reverberating
throughout your lives, you will notice that how you
react to others changes. As you raise your vibrations it
becomes more difficult to be annoyed and frustrated
with those around you. The gift of your higher vibration
is the ability to see into others' hearts and to
understand the pain and frustration that they live with.
How can you not forgive someone when you realize
that they are doing the best that they can, in every
situation?
There are two energies in the Universe, love and fear.
Whatever is not pure, unconditional love is fear. The
world, at this time, is full of people who live in fear of
many things, including each other and of themselves.
The fear of rejection or success is as real as the fear of
death or financial ruin. Those who are in fear see
everything that others do as a personal attack, a
deliberate attempt to undermine their efforts. Yet,
those who do those things are merely afraid that they
will not be as good, rich, powerful, successful or loved
as another. Yes, even a fear of love exists among
humanity today.
When you begin the process of forgiveness, in which
you forgive everyone everything, every day, in every
moment, you create a powerful movement of energy
that allows those around you to raise their vibrations.
The gift of the peace and joy that you receive when
you move into the Light, reconnect with the Source
and raise your own vibrations is that you are able to
witness the power of forgiveness. Once you are able to
stand in complete forgiveness, you cannot be afraid
and fear is no longer part of your reality. What kind of
world would you live in if there was no fear?
If everyone was able to offer unconditional forgiveness
to each other, at this moment, the vibration of the
world would be raised to the point where all fear would
cease to exist. Then there would be no disharmony, no
war, no hate. Humanity would live in peace in a loving
and supportive environment in which everyone was
equal, as they are in the eyes of the Creator. Begin
practicing forgiveness daily, so that you are able to
offer this gift to the world. It will come from the
Lightworkers, for it is they who have seen the power of
this wonderful gift and who have the ability to teach it
to others. The Universe supports your efforts and will
take the forgiveness that you offer to those in your life
and magnify it so that it becomes a gift that all
humanity can benefit from. And then there will be
Heaven on Earth. Practice forgiveness with everyone,
everywhere, at all times and you will help heal the
world and fulfill the work that you came here to do.

Today's Children-The Discerning Indigos
The new article on today's children is now available on
the website. This generation is known by
many names, including Indigo and Crystal Children, Star
Children, Light Children. Whatever name they are known
by, they are a generation that we have never seen
before and they have special needs, gifts and talents.
The Crystal and Indigo children represent the new,
higher energetic patterns that are arriving to change
the Earth's vibrational frequency.This new series
provides information on these children and the
wonderful gifts they bring to the world.
Both adult and children Indigos were born with the
power of discernment, the ability to see through the
veil of illusion and to see things as they are. This gives
them the ability to see the game of life that humanity
plays for what it is and it is why so many adult Indigos
have had problems adjusting to the corporate world-
they see the game for what it is and know that playing
the game does not always bring rewards. It is also why
so many young Indigos today, those in their teens and
early adulthood, have difficulty playing 'by the rules'.
They do not like to play games and do not even want
to try. But staying out of the game is not the solution,
they need to learn to use their power of discernment to
their benefit.
Discernment is an inner knowing of the truth in any
situation. Those who have the power of discernment to
a strong degree are highly intuitive and while everyone
has some degree of discernment, it is highly developed
in Indigos. But with the power of discernment comes
the ability to see the truth, in all its forms. And if
discernment is used with the ability to detach from that
experience, then Indigos both see and feel the truth.
And that can lead to disenchantment as they know
what needs to be changed but have no idea of how to
even begin, or whether they are even able to start.
Seeing the Truth is one element of this process; moving
forward through the Truth is the other part. How do
they handle what they know without becoming part of
it and what do they do to change it, if that is what
they are supposed to do?
There are many disillusioned Indigos, adult and children,
who have decided to not participate, to simply
disconnect from society because they can't be part
of 'the game.' Or, they feel that they can't do anything
because they don't know how to begin. But that is not
their mission; their mission is to introduce and
implement change. To do that they must see the game
for what it is, which is where their discernment is
useful, and then develop a strategy for galvanizing
change. How do they do that? By focusing on their
strengths, unique gifts and skills and not becoming
disillusioned by what their discernment is showing them.
Yes, the game is broken but they have come here to fix
it and they can do that by holding onto their dreams
and standing in their power. Indigo children and young
adults may need help finding what those dreams are,
while adult Indigos can listen to what their hearts are
telling them about the direction their passion lies in and
then use their powers of manifestation to create that
as their reality. Working together, we can create a new
game, one that empowers everyone and create a world
that honors the dreams of the individual and provides
an environment that nurtures and allows them
to grow into a more fulfilling reality for everyone.
