One of the greatest themes playing out for you right now is getting to know yourself so you can step forward in new and much more authentic ways.

Many of you are in the habit of simply judging yourselves, always looking for what is wrong and needs to be corrected. Others are afraid to see the good for they fear they will fall into ego. And many are simply unable to recognize their true divine nature, their innocence, or their innate goodness.

As you get to know yourselves again, we urge you to approach it from a space of curiosity. Who are you really? What do you enjoy? What are you naturally good at? What would you like to try one day? If the sky was the limit what would you do? If not one person on the planet knew you, where would you go and what would you do?

It might help if you treated getting to know yourself like a first date, or if you were going to base a character in a novel on yourself. How would you describe yourself to others? What traits stand out? What are your core truths?

As you release layers of the old there is so much underneath waiting to be explored like hidden treasure you’ve just discovered. And it is when you come to the acceptance of those truths of you that you will step forward into the next phase of your incarnation from a far more authentic and empowered place, and that is when you will start to create the lives that truly match who you really are and what you wish to experience. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
