Hi Cheryl, I'd say what you're describing as doubt, is rather a healthy questioning - the ray 3 aspect of the soul that I spoke of. We're in an environment where many energies are masquerading as something they are not. Consider it this way, see how you feel about this... If a being in higher dimensions can offer you something that may seem really great, yet gets you to surrender your sovereignty as a fully self determining being, then to me, that cannot be benevolent. Consider that one of the fundamental karmic problems of humanity right now is that it has surrendered its sovereignty, if not to some higher religious or spiritual power, then to governments and corporations. One of the driving aspects for humanity right now is to learn to trust in oneself. But it must not be blind trust. Trust is earned, by exploration. And trust is not an on or off thing - it's a sliding scale upwards. We explore, we challenge, we unravel. Then we simply know. You get to trust in the unraveling power of the universe yes. You get to trust that you will be shown the way yes. But it has to be you that figures out your own version of the truth by constant exploration. I work with benevolent beings. But I've constantly tested them. I've dissolved them from my field time and again until how they were working made absolute sense. They were working to reveal my own self empowerment through my own inner sovereignty. They never made it easy. They never channeled. They offered a mirror... "this is what you are being now, does that serve you?" I noticed when they would spike my attention to something, but then leave me to figure out and integrate by myself. Yes they were there in the background, but it was always me that had to make my own realisation. And when I did, their chorus sounded out like a choir of angels. In my knowing, the Plaiedians have especially been deceived by the raptor energy here on Earth. The intervention began right from their very first steps here. The problem is this... the Plaiedians have not been used to the density. It has always been painful to fully embody. So there's a natural tendency to want to stay up in the higher vibrations. The raptor consciousness on the other hand is very dense, staying in the lower ones. So as ones choices to act here in the 3D land from the higher soul, they become very open to distortion. Especially if there's a reticence to go fully into ones own inner darkness - that's where the raptor resides. So although there'll be all kinds of inner temptations NOT to get into the inner density, all kinds of reasons why to raise vibration rather then go deep into the lower ones, and all kind of inner trip switches to avoid and deny, the invitation is to explore ones own density, ones darkness. It will be in issues like consumption, sexuality, control, manifestation. or else avoiding the challenges of being completely spontaneous by trying to control the moment and thereby block the raptor within. But especially in this avoidance the raptor has already won. It's in ones field and you can't even feel it. Be prepared to lose control. Be prepared to express what you might consider previously as your lower darkness. But then integrate the truthful and authentic aspect of that, peeling away the distortion that you begin to recognise in the exploration. It's not easy no. But it is the path to mastery. And that's what we're here for. Open
