HOW I BECAME ACQUAINTED WITH ARCHANGEL METATRON
After exploring and studying, to various and lesser degrees, many of the world’s religions, I realized that I was not inclined towards religious doctrine, because I learned to view any religion as a control system over people which granted a huge, imbalanced amount of power and control to the human beings who ruled at the top of their pyramid structure.
To me, religions can help to begin to lead people towards spirituality, until, invariably, the innocent seekers get caught up in the control mechanisms within religions.
I value freedom of spirit. Religions were too confining for me, and I don’t like the fact that so many wars were fought, and blood spilled, in the name of religions and their associated deities. So, after my years of religious exploration and after coming to my conclusions about religious structures, I avoided religion and chose to keep seeking spiritual wisdom anywhere I could find it.
Due to the very difficult domestic situations in which I found myself trapped during childhood, I found myself needing emotional and spiritual relief and comfort. I became a very enthusiastic collector of benevolent wisdom and philosophies for my own spiritual path, actively doing so since I was about age twelve.
Early on, I was reading Richard Bach, Dr. Wayne Dyer, and Paramahansa Yogananda. A couple years later, one morning I was surprised to learn in an announcement over the high school p.a. system, that I was being awarded a leadership award, certificate and a book. The book spoke of a fourth major aspect of life beyond the physical, emotional and mental, which was spiritual. At that time, I had labeled myself as “agnostic,” which is defined as “a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God,” but this is when I was beginning my lifelong search to understand my spiritual side, and this award just inspired me more to continue that personal quest.
As time passed, a large period of my life became devoted to researching the nature of extra-terrestrial contact with human beings on Earth. I wanted to learn what other galactic civilizations believed in, because I hoped that some of their philosophies, if I could find out what they were, may possibly be more inspiring and meaningful to me than our Earth religions. I say this with no disrespect intended to anyone of any religious faith, this being my own very personal quest.
Having become convinced that extra-terrestrial life does exist, I often found myself theorizing that angels were simply a prosaic way for many people to identify what I understood to be extra-terrestrials.
I have also considered certain U.F.O. extra-terrestrial contact cases, and that certain species of extra-terrestrials have purposely posed as angelic beings using holographic technology, in an attempt to deceive and confuse the contacted human being. I accept that this is not an easy field to explore, and that there is certainly a lot to sort through once you step into the rabbit hole of extra-terrestrial research.
Now, I am convinced that there are both extra-terrestrials and angels, and that they are not necessarily one and the same, as I had theorized earlier on during my metaphysical explorations.
In the first several years after I had begun my “healing experiments” (on the advice of an extra-terrestrial ambassador that was being channeled through a female medium who had been channeling the higher dimensional being and his civilization for sixteen years) I began to read the communications of many other channelers in order to get a broader perspective of the messages that these very benevolent beings may be trying to share with us.
Once I began to get more comfortable with reading a variety of channelers on a regular basis, I allowed myself to explore an area that I had mostly always avoided, the Angelic Realms, due to the fact that I had been associating angels with religion, which, as I already explained, I tend to avoid.
As I read one transcript after another of channeled benevolent information, I found that so many of these channelings were attributed to angelic beings, and also some religious historical figures like Jesus, Mary Magdalane, Archangel Michael or Saint Germain. The one being whose channelings I avoided was Archangel Metatron, because his name sounded phony to me.
As I opened my mind further, I conceived that perhaps these benevolent beings, mentioned in religious texts, did not have to be viewed entirely within the context of human religious doctrine. I considered that I might be able to view these benevolent beings, like archangels, as inter-acting in our reality, but outside and beyond the box of organized religions, their dogma and their control systems.
In other words, I allowed myself the freedom to explore the reality of their angelic existence in direct relation to my consciousness and my perception of reality, without the filter and connection to any single religion. I would choose to view the ascended masters and the angelic kingdom as more broadly connected to humanity in total.
It also felt right to believe that each human being has a direct connection to the Great Spirit, to God, to All That Is, and that there may also be a direct connection between these beautiful, benevolent, angelic energy beings and every single human being— you, me, everyone— each in their own individually connected way, for all of these beings and us are simply different expressions of All That Is.
This understanding allowed me the openness of mind to consider that archangels and ascended masters could express themselves through various psychics, mediums and any human being with some telepathic ability and loving intent. And on a personal level, as long as I resonated with the material coming through in a deep and spiritual way, these channelings were valuable and real to me.
