I greet you, Dear Ones, with great love, compassion and gratitude from the Most High. In recent months, you have experienced great shifts within you that have caused considerable concern and discomfort. Many of you have become enmeshed in clearing past issues and have found great difficulty in remaining separated from this process. Your intent to ascend has never been in question, nor has your desire to share your Light and Love but the underlying energy can be captivating in a manner that holds you as prisoner. For this reason I am addressing you today to briefly discuss what you might term “spiritual alchemy”.

Contrary to what you might imagine or have been erroneously informed, alchemy is not a mysterious dark magic that can only be used by wizards, witches or magi. Simply put, alchemy refers solely to the transmutation of energy. The use of alchemy may have been shadowed in mystery and intrigue but its core components can be applied successfully by anybody. The key is simply a desire for change. While many so-called holy texts provide regulations and doctrine that are largely in place to keep order and ensure all think alike, there are great kernels of truth contained within. All of these works were created long after alchemy was acknowledged by the most ancient of belief systems.

Your Bible, for instance, holds keys to this process – for alchemy is a process, not a single act. The words of the one you know as The Christ learned much in his travels, including the application of alchemy that all could benefit from. Even some of the great kings of old, like your Solomon and David, used alchemy for personal transformation with spectacular results and passed on clues in their own writings. “A soft answer turneth away wrath” as found in the book known as The Proverbs, is a very powerful alchemical formula or "recipe" for transmuting/tranforming low vibration to high, in any given situation. It is also a reminder that low vibration or negative energy can be dissipated or neutralized simply by consistently applying a higher vibration energy.

This is the essence, the core of spiritual alchemy. When encountering these very powerful energies that can be felt in your stomach area in a variety of ways, one can choose to add their own and keep the energy alive or choose a different route to peace. As Light Workers and Light Warriors, you have been specially chosen by the Great and Divine Creator. As a result, you are held to a higher standard and the challenges and adversity placed in your path allow you to attain and maintain your own mastery. Yes, Dear Ones, much of what you face on your path to ascension may seem cruel and unjust. It may seem that you are constantly being tried and tested and that would not be an inaccurate assessment. Your ability to transmute low vibration energies you encounter on a daily basis is essential. You are the teachers and wayshowers and must have an intimate knowledge of the alchemical process. It must become a part of you, a process that you enact without thought.

Remember, Dear Ones, remaining in joy is crucial. Seek to attain the calm you are very capable of, for many are watching you silently. Adversity will always accompany you on this path you chose and only you can choose how you respond to it. Certainly, acknowledge it but seek out its opposite vibration and apply it. Compassion, gratitude, acceptance, appreciation, love and even laughter can counter and neutralize almost any negative vibration so choose daily to immerse yourself in these. Practice, Dear Ones, and do not be discouraged if you encounter difficulties or discouragement. Call on us in the angelic realm at any time for help with this. This is one of our specialties and we revel in the opportunity to assist you in this way. The time is drawing closer for the darkness to be revealed for what it is and there are many who will seek what you have learned from your own efforts. You are slowly being drawn together as this time approaches. Listen to you heart, pay attention to your intuition and reach out to others that we have sent into your life to assist and provide you with comfort and support.

I conclude by offering you my love and great appreciation for the intense work you are all doing. If you could see the tears of joy shed in the angelic realm at the great strides you are making in readying your hearts, minds and souls, you would be truly amazed. Try not to compare yourself with others or allow others to define your worth. You are each on a personal journey of discovery and remembrance of you, as a divine being, experiencing a very unique reality for our Great and Wondrous Creator. Never doubt this, Dear Ones, or the great love our Creator has for you.

I am Raziel, Keeper of Celestial Mysteries

(Channeled by Nick Nash 11/02/09)

While I have been a bit lax in posting entries over the last month, it has been an incredible time of learning and discovery. I seemed to have reached a new level of awareness that I cannot fully explain. I will say, though, that my training has intensified greatly, as has been my opportunities for service and applying of the knowledge and wisdom I've gained over the last several years. I've been a guest on several shows in the last month and will include some upcoming shows that you may find of interest.

A new exercise given to me by my own Angels and Guides has granted me access to several additional Beings of Light and their own wisdom. Another major development is a deepening relationship with Lord Raziel, who has been one of my Tutors and Teachers for several months. Many of you may know that he has an etheric temple located on Neptune, which I have visited for some of this training. It was - and still remains - a fascinating experience to find myself at the doors of an enormous crystal building that overlays the cold and rocky landscape there. I have also been granted some fascinating insights, first–hand, regarding Easter Island. This aspect I cannot disclose fully except to say that the mysterious heads are very closely linked to the crystal skulls that many have read about.

One of the most fascinating components to this recent period of learning should have been self-evident to me but apparently only now has the time arrived to be made fully aware. As many of you know, I have  been writing metaphysical fiction for several years. What you don't know is that I never write alone. I have a very specific ritual I employ before every writing session. What I have been made aware of is that, when I do request the assistance of the Beings Of Light assisting me, much of what I write is essentially channeled information. I have been told that each story and poem I pen contains encoded messages - largely from the Angelic Realm - that people respond to, without conscious awareness. During a recent training session, I spoke at length to Lord Raziel about this and he "suggested" I take this ability to the next level. How, you might ask? The above message and one before it came directly from Him and served as the remarkable answer.

I mentioned a new level of awareness has become apparent and it has arrived as a direct result of very specific actions I have begun taking. In short, being very aware of my thoughts, words and actions in any given situation. When we make a conscious effort to ensure that we act and react with high vibration energy - joy, gratitude, compassion, acceptance - it allows and maintains an open channel of communication with those in the Higher Realms, including our Higher Self. Consistently being in low vibration - worry, anger, anxiety - blocks this pathway and makes it almost impossible for us to receive guidance or messages from those Beings Of Light assisting in our spiritual journey.

Over the last few weeks and for several weeks to come, I have been co-hosting a show called Cathie's Distant Echos with a dear friend. Airing every Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights at 5 PM EST, our sole focus has been "Ascension Symptoms and Strategies". Two weeks ago, I highlighted Ascended Masters and Angels, two of the groups of Beings who are playing a key role in this ascension process and mentoring many of us. In my session on Sunday morning with Lord Raziel, he "suggested" that I include a channeled message from him, not fully understanding his intent at the time. I searched diligently online and could find only a handful and none that were less than 2 years old.

I was a bit startled to “see” him standing and facing me, about an hour before show time, waiting for me to sit down at my computer and begin typing. The above is only the second channeled message I’ve been given and I do not want to imply - in any way – that I am a professional channel. I am a medium and a sorcerer who has been privileged to be chosen for a very specific mission during this incarnation and pivotal period in our history and evolution. What I do know is that our near future is going to bring awareness’s to light that will dismay many, especially those who have blindly followed the doctrine and dogma of organized religion. When people become aware of the lies and deceptions that have been fed to them by churches, ministers, governments and other organizations, there will be considerable turmoil. Those of you who are experiencing trials and adversity are experiencing it for a very specific reason. As Raziel has mentioned, many are watching those of us on spiritual paths very closely. Many are seeking and searching for a means of expressing their spirituality in manner that provides satisfaction and understanding. We really are the wayshowers and teachers and all of our experiences to date have been essential lessons in learning and remembering our true purpose.
