I can say that Archangel Michael fulfilled his promise to me today. What was his promise?

Archangel Michael: Come back to the bliss.

Steve: Oh, I’d love to! I’ve been looking for it under my pillow, here, there, and everywhere and I haven’t been able to reach it again.

AAM: You are allowing – and I do not say this in a way of criticism – you are allowing yourself to be distracted.

Steve: Really? (1)

AAM: Yes. So what we are encouraging you to do is to let go.

Let go of the feeling that there is pressure to complete. Let go of your angst about events. Let go of feeling that you have put yourself – because you have not – we have put you somewhat in the limelight. (2) Let go of the feeling of “I’m alone on this planet and there is absolutely no one to talk to.”

Feel that you are absolutely surrendering on one of my blue white clouds, sink back and let them all dissipate as if it is rain falling out of that cloud as the cloud simply floats up, sideways, wherever you want and we will take you back into the bliss.

Your job is to surrender, let go. Our job is to lift you up. (3)

Around 2:22 pm, I suddenly found myself in bliss again.

I had been at my favorite coffee shop, working on an article. It was a beautiful, nearly-cloudless day. I remember saying to myself that AAM had arranged for a blue white cloud to take me home. And that thought pleased me.

After I arrived home I decided to meditate for a bit and required myself to go deeper and deeper and deeper, as deep as I could go.

Then at some point I arose and began writing. It was in the midst of writing that bliss arose.

This breaks a half-year fast and was most welcome. It hasn’t passed yet and we’re an hour and a half away from its onset.

I made notes in my personal journal earlier and I’ll pick up the story with them.

I asked Archangel Michael in our last reading if Sahaja Samadhi was like everything else – we just kept getting it at a deeper and deeper level. And he said yes.

So bliss we keep getting at a deeper and deeper level; love; awareness; and now sahaja, the natural state.

Surely they’re all different views of the same thing, like the blind men and the elephant. All are attributes of the One.

Oh, here is bliss. Bliss has shown up for the first time in months. It’s around 2:22 in the afternoon, July 10, 2016.

I risk losing it by writing, but I’ll write as long as I can. If I lose it, then I do. My service as a communicator comes before personal enlightenment.

We are all already enlightened anyways. This lifetime is not for our own personal advancement, but to assist others for whom it may be the first time to ascend or whose ascension this lifetime in some way serves the Plan. (4)

This is indeed a triangle, a threesome – me, bliss, and my writing. Bliss has always been a jealous companion. If my eyes wander, she leaves, immediately. No questions asked.

Here I am sharing the bed with my writing. I’ve asked bliss not to be offended, that this is me communicating about her in service to the Mother, not me being distracted.

When I’m in bliss, I can only write about it.

What does bliss feel like? The first feeling is one of total contentment. There’s nothing that needs doing, thinking, feeling. I’m totally complete and could pick up and walk out of this life and into a whole new one, if I wanted.

And happy! I am so happy! More than happy. Profoundly moved. And grateful.

My mind is totally quiet. I have no desires. Nothing remains to be done. And there are no regrets.

From this vantage point, I can see that this Earthly plane is indeed simply a school, a learning experience. Every experience I’ve had has either been to wake me up to something about myself or else to assist others to see something about themselves.

It’s all about realization and the subject of realization is ourselves. The purpose of life – Self-Realization or enlightenment – is thus revealed when our consciousness unfolds.

Later that same evening, as the experience began to fade, I read this passage in John Smallman’s Jesus, which dovetailed with all that AAM said and all that I was experiencing:

“By going within to your quiet and holy inner sanctuary, you can experience the vastness that is God, Creation, Love, and, therefore, You! To do so you need surrender to the divine flame of Love burning constantly within you, to let go of your beliefs, whatever they may be because they are very effective illusory distractions, and open your hearts so that the Love within can embrace you and demonstrate to you that you are as vast as all of Creation, as vast as God, and eternally embraced by the Love that is Reality.” (5)

I’m always looking for tangible evidence of the archangels’ work with us. This was tangible evidence for me. AAM did indeed fulfill his promise. Whether it lasts or not, I did have a taste of bliss again after many months in the desert. (6)
