You Have Lost Your Imprisonment

Channeled Message from Archangel Raphael
The New Now Part I
Channeled at OHM Expo in Honolulu October 20, 2018

You might be feeling . . . a little confused about how to operate in the new now. Things have shifted quite a lot [since the last expo]. . . and many of you have felt this letting go of a lot of the ties to the third-dimensional—what we would say the practical day-to-day reality of living on the planet. So that leaves you perhaps feeling somewhat adrift. A little bit lost perhaps if you’re looking to find your footing in the same old ways. The same old ways meaning: operating in a linear sense, looking for a logical path for the mind and the heart to follow. If you were still trying to force through in that old linear three-dimensional way you might feel disgruntled at this point, or confused, or bewildered.
 
There is a reason for that. There is a new operational system you might say, in computer terminology, here on the planet, and things don’t work quite the way they used to. Really not at all the way they used to. And yet we still have jobs, some of us, there is still bills to pay. There are still telephones and cars on the road. So things in a sense look very much the same. And yet they are not.
 
So what do we do in this new now? How do we take hold of what is coming forward?
 
The biggest lesson in this we can share is not to try so hard through the old ways. If something seems familiar to mind, and it is not working anymore, it’s because that link is broken, and for good purpose—the links to the old three-dimensional reality.
 
If you are here in this room today, that is most likely the case for you. You have intentionally asked to be uplifted as the earth uplifts, as humanity uplifts at this time. And so you have. You have been part of this transition. Some people—many people—have chosen to stay in the very practical third-dimensional reality. That is a choice that is open to all here on the planet also. So you might be confused why some of your friends seem to be going along even busier at work, those same old three-dimensional ways are working even better for them. Yet for you, you feel perhaps a bit lost—out of touch with how to move forward in the new now.
 
One thing that is being asked of you right now is to listen. To simply listen to what is around you—and we do not necessarily mean with the physical ears—for some of you that will be the case. You can listen with your eyes also, or with your heart. What is it you are being called to now? Perhaps your old purposes, your ways of being, are done. Perhaps it is not possible to move through this same three-dimensional circuitry methods any longer. So if that is the case, what are you being called to now? If you have been freed from the old structures, what does your heart want? What do your eyes see that looks delightful (not tempting, but delightful)? What do your ears hear that feels like music? Whether it is the leaves moving in the trees, the waterfall, the actual music . . . What is it that is making your heart dance? It might be quite different than what it was last year. And you might be causing yourself some unnecessary heart pains by trying to make it the same as it was last year.
 
You have on the whole been freed from large constructs, let us say, that were holding you into, embracing you into a type of prison-like reality in the third dimension. So now that you are free from that, it is also a little bit like trying to drive still but there are no longer any roads or traffic signals or rules of the road. So yes the tremendous freedom is there, but also—for a short time perhaps—confusion is also there. Well I knew what to do when there was a road and stoplight, and now am quite unsure.
 
Please know that you are not being asked to make this transition suddenly. You are not being asked to suddenly understand how to navigate fifth and higher dimensions. This will come.
 
It is a little bit like the day that someone gets out of prison. The shackles are removed from feet and hands. They are not asked that day when they are released from prison to take on some new mountainous task. They are asked to be free. To enjoy freedom. To rest. That is the period of time you are in.
 
So if you’re feeling this listlessness… floaty reality, it is fine to enjoy that. And not to feel that you need to force yourself back into a doership reality. Money will come. Opportunities will come. You are probably finding this is the case in quite surprising ways. So it is not that you are being released from prison and also without means to feed yourself. No. The banquet is there. The place to rest is there.
 
The mind feels uneasy because it does not have the ‘to do’ list anymore. It doesn’t know now that the structure—to continue with the prison metaphor—the very structured life of when to get up, when to work, is no longer there. So what do we do with ourselves? First we would say please enjoy the freedom. Understand it for what it is, which is a moment of freedom that will last. It is not temporary. And as you get your sea legs, so to speak, as you become more used to functioning in fifth and higher dimensional realities, you will understand what the choices are and what is asked of you moving forward.
 
This day (and we do not literally mean this day, but following the metaphor), this day that you are released from prison, nothing is asked of you. You are truly being invited to rest and enjoy the fact that you are out of prison. Following the metaphor again, you may have seen in literal prisons in this earth third dimension, that people who come out of prison lifestyle are quite disoriented, sometimes for a while find it very difficult to enjoy this new freedom. So you can understand that you are not the first one to feel bewildered at being so free.
 
But it does help the mind to feel some comfort here that what is happening here is a transition. Freedom. It is not that you have lost your way. You have lost your imprisonment, which is something you hoped to lose.
