Beloved ones! I AM ARCHANGEL MICHAEL!

It is interesting how you really do leave everything until the last minute. Now, there is nothing more to be done, my brothers and sisters. Wait for the next one, next year. And remember that next year we will not have as many Gatherings as we have had this year.

I have already explained this here, but it is always good to remind you.

It was part of her journey to take responsibility for these Gatherings in the way she has been doing, with everything very well organized and planned. So, next year we will have only two Gatherings, let us say, that everyone will be able to attend, large Gatherings.

At the beginning of the year, although we do not have a date yet, I have not forgotten Brasília. We will have the Gathering in Brasília, and the other two will follow the path they are meant to follow throughout the year.

The sending of energy, my brothers and sisters, will not affect you in any way, but it is important to remember the following: there is something… I will give you an example that I hope you will understand.

Give water to a thirsty animal, or even to a person, a human being who is extremely, extremely thirsty. At first, they will hardly be able to drink the water properly. They will rush toward it with tremendous eagerness because their thirst is so great. After a while, yes, they will be able to drink that water more calmly and peacefully.

So, I will draw a parallel with the forest. Pay attention.

That forest has been subjected to attacks of every kind: fires, trees being cut down, rivers being contaminated, and countless other things that are not even worth mentioning here. So, we can say that the forest today is sad, deeply sad, because no one respects it. Everyone looks at it and thinks, “Oh, it is just one little tree. It will not be missed among so many others.” And everyone thought that way, and today the forest is in the condition it is in.

So, the forest is sad, yes, because it feels that no one loves it, that no one cares for it. It is as though it feels abandoned by humanity. Then you begin sending Love to it. The forest is like that thirsty animal, thirsting for love and respect.

Let Me make a brief aside here. When you send something to someone, an energy, the one who determines the amount of energy flowing from your hands, or through whatever means you are using, is the recipient. This is how all Light energy works. The recipient determines how much they will receive. That is why most Light techniques can be applied to fetuses, babies, small animals, and elderly people without causing any harm, because the one receiving the energy determines how much will be absorbed. Very well, that concludes My aside.

So, the forest is eager for Love, and when you begin emanating Love, it will draw in as much as it can because it will feel loved. Now, consider the size of the forest compared to your own size. That is why you will give for one minute and then stop. “Oh, how do we stop?” Simply remove your hand from above the Mandala. That is all. This ends the sending of energy and breaks the connection.

No, I am not saying that the forest is evil or that it will harm you. That is not what I mean. But you may indeed feel the intensity with which it draws in what you are sending. That is why the limit is one minute. No matter how much it draws in during that minute, it will not exhaust you or affect you. Do you understand? I hope so, because tomorrow someone will spend half an hour or an hour emanating energy and then complain about feeling this way or that after sending Love. So, learn to follow the rules. It is one minute. Do you want to send more? Very well. Stop for a while, do something else, and return later for another minute. You do not need to ask anyone for anything. You do not need to connect with anyone. There is no need to invoke the Divine Presence or anything else. Simply place your hand above it and send the energy.

So, always keep it ready. Perform the ritual and send the energy.

There is a phrase you will need to say when you begin sending the energy. All of this is included in the document you will receive.

So, my brothers and sisters, our part is being done. My sword is planted in the Pyramid, Sananda’s Christic Energy extends all the way into Inner Earth, and Mary’s Mantle covers the Pyramid.

So, our work at that location is taking place. There is much to be cleansed there, and that is precisely what is being done.

You are showing the forest that you love and respect it. That is why you will send Love to it, and through that Love, it will gain the strength to be reborn.

And what does the rebirth of the forest mean?

It means recovering everything that was taken from it: trees growing where others were uprooted, rivers emerging from new springs. Those who live to see it will witness these changes in time. So, do not try to understand every detail of what will happen. There is much yet to unfold.

Simply dedicate yourselves to carrying out the ritual. Nothing more.

Does it need to be done every day? That is entirely up to you. Every day, every other day, once a month, it does not matter. Do it however you wish. You may do it a hundred times a day, but each time must last only one minute. Always keep a clock nearby. When you begin sending the energy, look at the clock and count one minute. That is not difficult, is it? There you go. You look at the Mandala, remember the ritual, and send energy for one minute. No longer than that. Understand that this is the process.

My brothers and sisters, with each passing day, more and more souls are departing, sometimes through choices made by the souls themselves and often through choices made by human consciousness. What do I mean by that? Let us explore it.

A soul decides, “No, I want to die at a very old age, fulfill all my missions, and pass away peacefully when my body can no longer continue.” That is the soul’s decision. Then the soul incarnates, but the human consciousness loses its way. That consciousness begins using drugs, develops every addiction imaginable, drinks excessively, and eventually dies in a car accident.

Was that planned by the soul? No, it was not. The soul did not want that, but human consciousness took control and brought things to that point.

So, there are certain situations in which human consciousness changes the soul’s path.

It is important, my brothers and sisters, that you listen to your hearts.

Many people spend their entire lives regretting the things they never did. “Oh, I should have done this. Oh, I should have done that. Oh, I was never happy in my profession.”

And why did you remain in it? Why did you not follow what your heart wanted? Oh, because someone would say something, because someone else would disapprove. Why, why, why? So many reasons. And then a person spends an entire life unhappy because they never did what they loved.

Today, at this very moment, many people are rediscovering the joy of living, leaving extremely prestigious jobs behind and choosing to pursue what they love. Congratulations to them. They are following the path of their souls, the talents of their souls.

Come now, my brothers and sisters, let us imagine something. How many incarnations have you experienced? How many professions have you encountered? But I tell you, there have not been as many different ones as you might think, because the tendency is always to return to something you already know.

Why do some people perform so well in certain jobs or professions? Because it is their soul’s profession. It is the profession that the soul chooses, incarnation after incarnation. So, it is as though the soul already knows everything about it inside and out. That person therefore excels at it, prospers, and finds happiness in what they do.

So, I ask you a question now, my brother or sister.

Are you happy with what you do, with your profession?

You do not need to answer aloud, so as not to hurt anyone around you. Answer within yourself. Are you happy in your profession? Do you love what you do?

If you answered, even silently, with a smile on your face, then you love what you do, you are happy, and you are fulfilling your soul’s path. But if you lowered your head and felt sad because this was not what you wanted, then you are forcing yourself into a situation that will bring you nothing but frustration, disappointment, and sadness.

And then I ask: why? Why follow a path that brings you neither joy nor happiness? Why?

Many of you are attached to other people’s opinions. “What will people say?” Who are these people in your life? What do they do for you? Let Me ask you something: those who criticize you, those who point their fingers at you, what do they actually do for you? I will answer that 99% of them do nothing for you, yet they still point their fingers at you.

So, I would tell you this: those who point their fingers at you are envious of your courage to leave everything behind and do what you love. That is all. They are envious because they do not have the courage to do the same. They continue living their sad, mediocre little lives, complaining about everything, perpetually dissatisfied, yet they point their fingers at someone who does something they consider crazy and chooses to live doing what they love. Interesting, isn’t it? Very interesting.

So, I ask those of you who envy people who have courage: why feel envy when you possess the same power they do? The power to decide is in your hands, not someone else’s. If you allow yourself to be directed, dominated, or manipulated, then we have a serious problem, because you have forgotten the being you truly are. You have become a puppet, a doll in someone else’s hands. And why have you become that? Because you allowed it. No one becomes that way because they want to; they become that way because they allow it. So, lift your head, stand up for yourself, and be strong.

Many of you become comfortable with your circumstances and believe you are too old to change. Well, I would tell you this: you go through different stages of life. There are stages when you build a career, raise a family, have children, and deal with countless responsibilities, until eventually a time comes when, through your own efforts, you stop working, your children are grown, and you no longer have so many obligations. Could that not be the best stage of life? Being able to dedicate yourself to whatever you wish?

But no. Most people sit in a chair, turn on the television, and spend the entire day hypnotized by whatever is being said there. The body becomes weak and loses its strength, the mind deteriorates, and illnesses multiply. Yet the blame is placed on someone else: the person who did not offer support, who kept interfering in your life, who believed you should not do anything. Is it their fault, or is it yours for lacking the courage to get up and do something?

So, my brothers and sisters, let us stop with this idea that growing old means everything is over. Why would it be over? Nothing is over.

Now, it is important that you recognize what you are creating today.

Those of you who are not yet elderly, what are you creating for your future? How are you treating your bodies today? Are you taking care of them? Do you live in balance, eat in balance, and sleep in balance? Because if you are doing all these things in balance, you are creating a healthy body for old age. But if you are doing none of these things today, well, then you are also creating problems for your later years.

So, why am I telling you all of this?

Because it is important that, at this very moment, today, here and now, you stop and take a moment to reflect. How is your life today? Do you feel fulfilled and happy, or not? And if not, why? And why not try to change? Because of someone else? I would say that any decision you make, provided it does not hurt anyone, is your business, not someone else’s. And why do I emphasize not hurting anyone? Because often you make decisions because of other people, to provoke them or hurt them. That is not acceptable. In doing so, you are accumulating more karma and creating more problems for yourself in the future. So, why behave that way?

Now, returning to the subject, what are you doing for your body today? Another question: what has your diet been like? “Oh, I only eat junk food.” “Oh, I eat healthy food.” Excellent. At least you are trying to keep your body in balance. But those who eat nothing but unhealthy foods will find that their bodies feel the effects as well.

So, returning to the subject of your body, do you eat in balance? Do you move your body? No, I am not even talking about exercising, because for many of you that would already be asking too much. Yes, there are many here who believe they could never exercise, under any circumstances. But do you at least walk? Oh, yes, you walk from the living room to the bedroom, from the bedroom to the kitchen. Oh, yes, you certainly walk a great deal.

With no movement in the body, what happens to the energies? They simply accumulate, accumulate, because all negative energies tend to settle. What does that mean? They keep building up. If you move, that energy moves as well, circulating throughout your body rather than remaining still, because you are at least walking. But if you do nothing, the energy continues to accumulate, like one little ball piling up on top of another. And you become increasingly stiff because nothing is moving. There is only stagnant energy.

So, my brothers and sisters, complaining about age and pain is easy, and I hear it twenty-four hours a day, according to your measurement of time. How often I hear it!

Then you ask Me, “My Archangel, help me.” I will help you if you help yourself. It is not a matter of sitting in a chair or lying in a hammock, asking someone to bring you juice, and calling out to Me, “Help me.” No, I will not help you that way. But if you get up from the hammock and say, “I am going to start moving, my Archangel. Help me,” then yes, I am with you. I will walk alongside you, giving you strength to move what has been standing still.

So, my brothers and sisters, first of all, let us stop complaining. That is another problem: the older you become, the more you complain. Why? Is old age synonymous with complaining? I have never seen anything like it. You complain about everything. You cannot see anything good in anything. The world is always terrible.

Yes, my brothers and sisters, that makes things difficult, very difficult. So, returning to the subject.

What have you been doing for your body today? Another question: what has your diet been like? “Oh, I only eat junk food.” “Oh, I eat healthy food.” Excellent. At least you are trying to maintain balance in your body. But those who eat nothing but unhealthy foods will find that their bodies suffer the consequences.

So, my brothers and sisters, rule number one: complaining does not fix anything. It only attracts more of the same.

Giving in to inactivity means living less. It means changing the date the soul had originally chosen, because the body will experience the consequences. So, move your bodies, eat properly, and avoid sugars.

My brothers and sisters, if you knew how much harm all these products containing sugar do to your bodies, you would have no idea. And yet these are the very things most of you enjoy the most.

You need to understand, my brothers and sisters, that I am not saying you should never eat them again. That is not what I am saying. The important thing is always balance. Did you eat something sweet today? Very well, let that be enough. Do not eat any tomorrow, or the day after. Give yourself some time before eating something sweet again. Do not develop unhealthy habits, because this is not a healthy habit. Then you complain about having to take so many medications. Of course, the body cannot withstand everything.

So, how about we start living today? I am with you. No, not because I eat, because I do not, but I will be with you, helping and giving you strength.

I accept the challenge. Whoever wants My help will find Me by their side, but you must show that you are genuinely trying to change. Those who try, I help. Those who only pretend, I do not even appear.

So, let us do something for ourselves. Let us at least walk to get the energies moving within, so that they circulate throughout the body. Do you know what it resembles? I will give you an example. Take a glass, go to the seashore, fill it with seawater, and place it somewhere. After a while, all the sand will sink and settle at the bottom of the glass. That is what happens to you. Every energy that enters and does not circulate settles. That is what I want you to understand. If you move, the energy will move with your body and will not settle.

So, consider all the energy you receive daily from the Central Sun. For those who move, the energy flows throughout the entire body. But for those who do not move, it enters and settles, sinking to the bottom.

Your greatest problems are in your legs. Have you noticed that most people experience problems with their legs? Stagnant energies that cause illnesses.

So, my brothers and sisters, move your bodies. Do not believe this little story that because you are getting older, you can no longer do anything. That is a lie. And why is it a lie? So that you will believe you are useless and sick, and therefore consume more medications. If you become an active and healthy person, you will not consume as much medication. That is not in their interest. They want you to become increasingly ill and take more and more medications. That is the truth. There is no other explanation.

So, let us break the rules, break paradigms, and break these ridiculous beliefs you carry around: “I am getting old. I am becoming useless.” You become useless through your own choices. Understand that. You become complacent. You allow yourselves to be dominated and manipulated.

So, get up, shake yourselves off, and go for a walk. Go walking. Do something. Getting older does not mean stopping. You may retire from your job or profession, but go and do something else. Find something to do, something productive, so that you do not remain inactive.

It has already been said here, and I will repeat it: you will enter the Fifth Dimension with the body you currently have. If it is a healthy body, congratulations, the transition will be easy. But if it is not, you will struggle greatly. Understand that.

Your bodies need to be almost perfect, because there are no illnesses in the Fifth Dimension. So, you cannot carry the illnesses of this dimension into the next. Do you understand? Is it becoming clear that you need to eliminate these illnesses?

And how do you do that? Movement, healthy eating, a good night’s sleep, limited exposure to technology, and more time spent in nature. I guarantee that everything will change.

Oh, I can already hear many people complaining in My ear. “Oh, it is easy for you to say. All of this is very simple for you.”

My brothers and sisters, it is true that I may not be incarnated, but I can see. And it is precisely because I can see that I am telling you everything I am telling you.

For those who are older, do something for yourselves. Find joy in living. And for those who are younger, take care of your bodies so that when you reach that stage of life, they will be healthy.

Look at yourselves. You do not need someone else to analyze you. You are the one who must do that. What do I need to improve? What do I need to do to become a happy and active being? What do I need? And I guarantee that you will find the way.

As I said, if you wish, ask for My help. I will be by your side, giving you that little push. But you must truly want it. If you remain lying in a hammock, I will not help. Pursue happiness. Forget other people’s opinions. Their opinions are simply envy of who you are. Those who criticize you do so because they lack the courage to do what you do. They are weak.

So, move forward. Forget everything that lies behind you: pain, suffering, anguish. Forget it all. Resentment and remorse lead no one anywhere. Live. Be happy.

And the most important point of all, as we conclude this different conversation we have had today:

Do not depend on someone else to make you happy. That only creates expectations and disappointment.

The great secret is this: make yourself happy.

Do not expect happiness from someone else. Do not live believing that another person will make you happy. You need to make yourself happy, because once you learn that, other people’s opinions will mean nothing to you, and you will always focus solely on your own path.

Think about that, my brothers and sisters.

I will conclude our Gathering with this question: What can I do to be happier in my life?

Find the answer, but above all, pursue it. Make the effort to be happy. Perhaps you will be alone? What is the problem with that? You were not born attached to anyone, and you will not die attached to anyone. So, even if you are alone, be happy. Do it for yourself. Forget about others. You are the one who must take care of yourself. Never expect someone else to do it for you.

Love yourselves, my brothers and sisters, and find happiness.
