"Take these words and heed them well. You are here and chosen to guide the ones who are blind and close their eyes to all that is given to them. You must open them up to the wisdom and thoughts that are brought forward to their consciousness. Do this to complete the visions. Do not dwell upon the mundane. Grasp the light that feeds into your group. Work with it and make it grow. It will light your paths and guide you throughout eternity. Do this and the knowledge will flow. It will flow like the river that you are so called. But you must open your eyes and your souls to all. That is all I have to say."    Channeled by Karen Ballantyne

Beyond the Powers are another group of beings, the virtues. They are of particular importance to you now because they are able to beam out massive levels of divine energy. As more groups of you learn to work with the virtues, their will be a greater infusion of spiritual energy available on your planet."
"The first order of the second sphere are those beings who have been known as Powers. They are the bearers of the conscience of all of humanity, the keepers of your collective history. The angels of birth and death are in this category. They are able to draw down and hold the energy of the divine plan the same way trees draw down the energy of the Sun. In this way, the Powers can send all of you a vision of a world spiritual network. Just as you have a heart, liver, kidneys, and other organs in your body, all of the worlds religions are different organs in the emerging spiritual body of this planet."
"Beyond the group of archangels are the Principalities. They are the guardian angels of all large groups, from cities and nations to recent human creations such as multi-national corporations. These might more accurately now be called integrating angels. There are many of these beings involved with your planet....one particular integrating angel who carries the pattern of a unified global order in its heart."
"Beyond the angels are the beings you are used to calling the Archangels. But we suggest that you call them overlighting angels, since they tend the larger arenas of human endeavor. These beings are from a different family from the angels. There are many different kinds of overlighting angels in this larger family. The four you are most familiar with are Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, and Uriel."

"The Angels that you're most familiar with are those in the last order. They are the ones who are closest to humanity, the ones most concerned with human affairs. Within the category of angels, there are many
different kinds, with different functions. The ones that you know best are the guardian angels. Because of shifts in their functions and your consciousness, it is useful to think of these celestial beings as companion angels. As you enter a time of increased light and love on the planet, they will not need to guard you, but rather will be your guides to greater and greater consciousness. "

Quote Corner:
There is nothing more difficult to carry out, nor doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things. For the reformer has enemies in all those who profit by the old order, and only lukewarm defenders in all those who would profit by the new order, this 'lukewarmness' arising partly from fear of their adversaries, who have the law in their favor; and partly from the incredulity of mankind, who do not truly believe in anything new until they have had experience of it.  Machiavelli (1469-1527), The Prince.
