Channeling Council of Light

Order of Archangel Michael^TM
Council of Light Channeling

Council of Light, channeled October 5, 2001
Through Diana Henderson

Clarification on Wording:
When reading the message from October 5, 2001, please understand that the language Archangel Michael uses (at least when he speaks through me in his masculine energy) tends to be the terminology of the Spiritual Warrior/Protector, which is his essence. The spiritual warrior is one who brings great passion, integrity and honor to the work at hand.

If we open to the energy along with the words, we can see that what Michael means by battling the darkness is simply bringing enlightenment to it, and when he speaks of "conquering our inner demons" he means healing those parts of us that are in fear by bringing them light and love. When he asks us to cleanse ourselves, he means to heal ourselves, to replace inner chaos/fearfulness with a state of balance and harmony.

When Michael speaks of the Light in this channeling, [to the best of my understanding] he means all that is God (by any name you choose), the Oneness, the Totality. When he speaks of the Darkness, he means anything in the Universe or any part of ourselves that does not recognize itself as part of that Oneness.

"The wings of Michael outstretch and touch the hearts and souls of those who will be quickened, awakened or reawakened into the Order."

"It is time to awaken those within the Order. Some shall be awakened to the Order merely for this lifetime in this crucial moment upon your planet, and some shall be awakened for all time. Some are merely being reawakened into the Order from whence they came. It is a gift and a privilege to serve the Light of the Father, of Creator, by bearing the Sword and the Shield of Light and Love.

"What does it mean to join the Order of Michael? The meaning in this instance is twofold. First, those who are being reawakened were already of the Order of Michael, of this angelic realm of Light and of the service of Michael, which serves the Creator by carrying the Sword and Shield of Light to cleanse, to heal, to Love, to enlighten, to bring about enlightenment and to fight the battles of the Light. Some are reawakening to this purpose; they are the 'warriors' of the Light. They are that which, through the Ultimate Love, bring the Light to every darkened corner of this Universe, to every darkened soul. And so this is the first group that comprises the Order.
"The second is this: There will be some who shall be called unto this Order who are from other realms of Light, souls who in the past have not been of the Order of Michael but who are asked in this life, in this time, to fight the battles of the Light—to heal themselves completely, to conquer all their inner demons—so that they might be of utmost service in bringing forth the Shift toward Ascension. And those who are called for this lifetime shall be much like the Priesthood of Melchizedek. They are being called to take up the Sword, to purify themselves, to love themselves ultimately, purely and completely so that they might bring that same Love to every person they encounter, to every being in need of enlightenment. The members of the Order are being called to teach; they are being called to cleanse; they are being called to battle against the darkness, to stand with the Light. It is a great calling and a great service. They may choose to assist us in this lifetime by bringing the Sword of Light into your world in its fullness to unfold the Truth, to shine Light upon the darkness, to allow the Light to emerge from within and without and cleanse all upon this planet.
"So this is what the calling consists of. These are the ones who will come into the Light of Michael. Some of them already serve in one form or another, but they need the additional quickening, for that is what this is, a quickening, the Sword of Light becoming activated within them—within their bodies, within their psyches, within their energy fields, within their beings.
"These initiates shall be asked to serve in many ways. From time to time when this is necessary, those in the Order shall be asked to stand with me, to carry the Light into the Darkness upon the astral plane, to cleanse the darkness from the ethereal regions closest to the Earth. But first they must conquer the darkness within themselves, cleanse their own beings. They will be asked to become as purified by their inner Sword of Light as they may and then to assist others to heal in this way. Some will be asked to become healers; some already are. And when we speak of healers, we mean those who bring the healing through them—their own beings healed already—who are willing to serve and offer this healing to all who are ready to receive it. The healing of Michael is the cleansing fire of purest Love. It is the healing that banishes from the being all darkness. It is the healing that transmutes the negative thought-forms into the Light. Those who are initiated into the Order will be asked to touch their own sword of light to my Sword of Light, and from that sword they shall enlighten all around them.

"There is much more. This is only the beginning, but what needs to be understood is that the Sword is a cleansing, the Sword is a healing; the Sword is enlightenment. And the Order that comes forth is being quickened to bring healing, to bring enlightenment, to banish the darkness first within themselves and then within this world—not only in the world that is physically manifested as you see it but also within the energetic bodies and upon the astral plane. Their work shall encompass cleansing and healing and teaching others to cleanse and heal themselves. Their work shall embrace all this and more and shall hasten the time of Ascension."
