Message from Sweet Michelia Flower Essence
We are holders of sacred temple energy. People of ancient time recognized that the perfume we fill the air with has cleansing and sacred properties. That is, it inspired an attitude of devotion and inner purity. This mindset is appropriate for the energy of a temple, and so we were often planted nearby for this purpose.
Your culture has a great need of the energy of the sacred. This is quite different from religion. For many religions have been used and deformed by people into a non-evolutionary form. That is, they do not encourage the growth and development of each soul. For this is the true purpose, the founding idea of religion – that is to aid the evolvement of the soul on this plane. There is no higher purpose than this. Sadly, often humans do not grasp this truth and contort the teachings of the pioneer souls to their own desires and goals for power and influence.
Our energy is to radiate a resonance to inspire the true, holy search for growth and re-union with spirit. This search (for there truly is no destination) is the driver for all personal evolution. It is not about the path itself – the concept of the existence of one path to God is mistaken – it is the search which creates holiness in the soul.
We simply serve to remind the souls of their purpose.
The gathering of merit is a noble pursuit. Much good, both for the individual and the collective, can be created this way. Therefore, we greatly encourage you, and all of you, to seek opportunities to serve others. It is in service that much merit, much wisdom, and much grace can be created. Remember our fragrance – beautifying and elevating all around – through the perfume of your giving spirit you can elevate your contacts as well.
The second principle is of kindness and compassion for others. This is not necessarily a principle of action – more one of mind. The heartful sharing of compassion can be more powerful on this plane than most action. By generating compassion in yourself – and this quality does truly begin with you, having compassion for yourself – the elevation of energies begins all around you.
The third principle is the seeking of beauty. Look for beauty all around you and you will find a more beautiful world. Actively seeking beauty will enhance what is there, cause flowering (metaphorically), and the gathering, growing, and the multiplying of beauty all around. Beauty is not a superficial principle, as your culture understands it. It is not disposable, unimportant. It is a powerful force for evolution on your plane.
Only through slowness, the spaciousness of thought and of being – is there room to develop wisdom and insight. Slowing down is of great value. You will find much use and growth in creating space for yourself to contemplate. This pattern is natural and most restorative to humans, and is easily returned to you. Peaceful contemplation is fostered by taking the essence we have made together.
Be not passive or sleepy in your contemplation. True contemplation is active in non-action. The energy flows in the body are to be activated, the direction of the flows to be vertical. Through actively directing energies in the body, while maintaining a calm detachment – this is the way best to practice.
Think of an active engagement in the energetic body – drawing breath, qi flowing in consciously directed manner. The qi flows along the front and back of the spine. One’s attention may be drawn to this inner focus of meditation. By attending to the flowing energy, two actions result. First, the body is energized and nourished. Secondarily, the mind has a focus point to permit deep contemplation. A mind without a focus point is a flag without a pole – you will be endlessly chasing it.
Our wisdom can be accessed on many levels, in the same way that a temple building can be appreciated by the initiated and the non-initiated alike. There are levels of beauty, symmetry, organized structure and devotional alignment that are accessible to anyone, whether they understand the meaning levels beneath the form or no.
But, in order to grasp deeper concepts, a certain level of education is useful.
If you can see the underlying rationale for a creative action or structuring, you can appreciate and gain wisdom from the interplay and juxtaposition of elements – they tell more of a story to you if you understand what they mean beyond what they are doing.
This concept applies even further when you are seeking to transmit evolutionary or spiritual wisdom. It is as if you have trained your eyes and ears to see or hear more, without adding more content to the stream.
But, these are discussions that are perhaps not as much to the point of how our essence may be applied.
Our energies are most helpful to establish a baseline element of presence to the one who wishes to learn. If presence is not gained, very little information can be imparted.
We act as aids – no, not aids, we create a field for the individual to rest in so they can focus on higher order thinking, meditating, and synthesis of complex ideas.
The perception is registered as safety, but we do not fulfill a role of protector, per se. There are no aggressive acts against malevolent energies. There is no need for this action. We merely contain an environment of harmlessness in which no disruptive energies can be admitted. Even when waves of disturbance pass through, they pass and leave greater peace.
Our essence is aligned with spiritual seekers of all kinds, to create an atmosphere of clarity and focus to their studies and devotions.
On a more foundational level, we can act as a sanctuary field. When the protectors of the young did not fulfill their roles with integrity, our integrated field can imprint a functional framework to rebuild/reimprint as structure that can fulfill the function of a stable home. We are well familiar with the fostering process, the adoption of very young children into the spiritual calling, to be nurtured and raised.
