Accepting Grace:
The Three Aspects of Mind, Heart, and Groundedness

From the Angel of Grace

Introduction
I've been meditating this morning and chanting and praying with the
full intention that all of these prayers, all of the grace that is
flowing to me, be given unto my mother for her healing, for her
restoration. I have called upon her higher self, her soul self, to
awaken more completely, to become receptive to the divine grace of
heaven for her and to become more receptive to the love the Angels
send to her.

Angel Message

"This dedication of prayers to another, this dedication of the grace
that we receive to another, flows freely from us when we have the pure
intention of giving grace, giving love, giving blessing with nothing
of ego mixed with it or attached to it. This intention, this alignment
of our own will for the benefit of another to receive grace, is a
powerful healing practice. The nonattachment to any personal agenda,
the nonattachment to any goal, the nonattachment to any expectation or
outcome for another, leaves the grace that flows through us pure:
beneficent, benevolent, of full measure, of pure, unadulterated grace
given to another.

This practice of praying for another is, of course, an established
tradition throughout all the spiritual practices, all of the religions
of the world. Yet, the healing and transformative power of your prayer
for another may be increased many-fold. When you drop any agenda of
your own ego, any identification from your personality with what you
think is best for another, when you abandon all of the "shoulds,
woulds, coulds, ought to's and if onlys," in regard to another, then
you enter deep, potent and transformative potential for the person you
are praying for.

When you see yourself as able to give grace freely with no
expectation, with no hidden agenda, with no either implied or implicit
contract that you shall receive something back in return, then you
become a pure, clear vessel of healing grace, of healing light, of
healing love and of illumination. When you allow yourself to be as the
sun and to shine with warmth, love, and grace, to shower your love in
all directions and all places without condition, just as the sun warms
and illuminates and shines upon us without condition, then you pass
the grace of heaven to another.

The divine aspects of the human body, the human mind, the human heart,
the soul and the spirit are designed as vessels for grace and for
love. The ability to radiate love as the sun radiates warmth and light
is inherent in every human being. This being human, at its' core, at
the heart of the being, is the same capability to shine forth with
love, with warmth, with affection, with respect, with honoring, with
warm regard given freely to another.

The flow of grace and love that we are able to give to another is
determined by our own beliefs. Nothing more. Our beliefs, our thoughts
and our perceptions determine how much, in what capacity, in what way,
and what "flavor" of grace we are able to receive and pass to another.
What we will not receive for ourselves is very difficult to give to
another. If you see yourself as a vessel that allows the pouring in of
love and light and illumination and higher consciousness and best
intention, you will be able to fill yourself with these. If you feel
yourself unworthy of these, undeserving of these, if you carry a story
of a victim as your biography, if you blame others, if you give over
the responsibility to others for your own capacity as a vessel, then
you greatly diminish the amount of grace that your vessel may receive.

We will deal with three aspects of your being that determine the
quantity and the quality of grace that you are able to receive: Mind,
Heart and Grounded-ness.

Number One: Your Mind - Your mind sits either as an open passage, like
the neck of a bottle, or as a cork which stops the flow into the
bottle. An open, gentle, kind and receptive mind creates a funnel
above the bottle that grace may shower upon, be collected, flow into
the body, flow into the mind, flow into the heart, flow into the
chakras, flow into every system and organ of the body. Flow into every
place within the body. Flow into even the space between every atom,
between every proton, electron, between every particle of matter that
floats in the configuration of the body, filling every space within
you with love and with grace. A mind closed by criticisms, by
judgments, by self-righteousness in any form, by superiority in any
form, by over-identification with your own perceptions, beliefs and
ideas of how things ought to be, closes the receptivity of your vessel
just as a cork jammed into the neck of a bottle closes the bottle. No
new grace or wisdom may enter.

Allow your beliefs to be present. Simple honesty, simple
self-understanding, simple self-acceptance of your present beliefs is
all that is necessary to dislodge them and to remove the cork from the
bottle. As you remove this cork, grace itself heals the problems
inherent in the cork. As you detach from these beliefs, expectations
and perceptions that block grace, grace naturally moves to them.
Simple willingness, simple honesty, simply increasing your awareness
of the present conditions of your beliefs is all that is necessary to
loosen the cork enough for grace to lubricate it for removal.

You are ever in a state of flux with the quantity and quality of grace
that you are receiving. This is natural and normal. It reflects the
quality of consciousness that you are in from moment to moment. This
is an inherent ability within you. This is your free will. Your will
to chose higher consciousness, your will to chose ever-higher
expressions of love. Your will for your own soul alignment with
creation. Nothing in creation denies any measure of grace for you.
Nothing of God denies any measure of grace for you. Nothing is
withheld of heaven for you. Nothing.

This is the power of your free will, your ability to choose and your
discretion. Choosing heaven opens your vessel to receive heaven.
Choosing false belief, choosing limitation, choosing constraint,
choosing lack, choosing in reality what is any form of fear,
constricts the opening of your vessel. These constrictions are your
false beliefs. The ideas of limitation and lack and victim-hood.

This flow of grace is vital to your health, to your well-being, and to
your spiritual evolution. When this grace is constricted to too great
a degree, disease results. Discomfort results. Harsh and difficult
circumstances result. Relationships become burdens, become filled with
difficulties, become hostile, move into war with one another. This is
true on all levels. Whether this war be in thoughts, in words,
psychological, verbal or physical. The need to compete, to grab
something from another, to defend from another, is primarily rooted in
a lack of the flow of grace.

This warring goes on within the self. It does not even require another
for the battle to be engaged. Certainly you are very familiar with
this within yourself. Major decisions, life choices, relationship
choices, all of these may at times war within you. And yet the way of
grace is the way of peace, the way of plenty, the way of abundance,
the way of kindness, the way of generosity, the way of love and the
showering of love without limitation upon all around you.

This is the place of heaven: when you are filled with love and true
generosity and able to give to those around you the exact and perfect
measure and form of love in each moment. This is the way of heaven.
This is being in heaven.

Number Two: The Heart - The heart is given as a divine vessel of love,
a chalice to be filled with love from the heavens. The path of the
heart is that of the open chalice: filled and ever-overflowing with
the flow of grace and love and benevolence. It is by its nature pure
generosity, pure innocence, a pure receptive vehicle for the love of
God to both enter and flow freely.

The way of the heart is a simple path into love. The simple journey to
the ever-deepening experience of love. The heart knows no limit other
than what the mind casts around it. It knows no border other than
those that the mind subscribes to. It knows no country. It knows no
reason to withhold from another the love that flows so freely to and
through it.

The limitation around the heart is defined by the mind and the
consciousness that the mind carries. The degree of trust and mistrust
present sets a border like that of a national boundary with check
points and inspections and treaties regarding what shall pass in and
what shall pass out. Of course, discretion of time and place and
circumstance is vitally important. But be quite clear and quite
careful in your discernment of what circumstances will be perfectly
suited to the open and giving heart. Look beneath the surface. Look
beneath your fears. Look beneath your history and your life story and
find the truth of what is possible to express in the present moment
and present circumstances. Check carefully and see if you are not
overly identifying with past places of fear, with stories of the mind,
with stories from television, from movies, from books, basically
thought forms that are shadows of the past, ghosts that are not your
own and yet haunt your thoughts.

In examining these conditions around your heart you will find many
false perceptions. You will find many old, unnecessary fences for your
defense. You will find that you have a much greater capacity and a
much greater opportunity than you believed. This is the nature of
embracing the heart. This is the nature of embracing the heart as a
vessel for receiving and expressing divine love.the love of the
heavens, the love of Creator for creation. This love is unlimited. It
is unbounded. It is never diminished by the giving of it to another.
No less than you would diminish the sea by taking a cup of water from
it, can you diminish the love of heavens by giving a cup of it to
another. Nothing within you is diminished. Nothing whatsoever is
lessened within you by this giving. For your heart held open more than
refills, for it overflows and overflows and overflows.

We wish to stress that the heart is never diminished. It is never
damaged or lessened in any way by allowing the flow of grace to move
through it and to be given to another. There is no possibility
whatsoever of the heart being harmed when it is in this place of being
and giving.

This stirs thoughts within the mind of how violence has been committed
by one person upon another. The spirit of giving seemed present and
clear. These thoughts are simply like ghosts that haunt your mind,
create fear, and cause contraction of the heart. Allow the heart to
guide the mind. Allow the mind to work like the headlights of a car.
The headlights of the car do not determine either the destination or
the route traveled to reach it. The driver determines these, the
driver being a metaphor for your higher consciousness. Your higher
consciousness steers the vehicle, determines the destination, chooses
the way. The heart itself is this vehicle, used either to reach
ever-deeper receptivity for love, or ever-expanding capacity to give
love. Just as the driver of the vehicle decides the route and
determines the way through perception, our higher consciousness
determines the way of our heart.

The mind and the interplay of the perceptions may either be narrow
headlight beams in the dark of night, illuminating only narrow spaces
in unfamiliar and even scary territory. Or the perceptions may be open
as they are driving in a car on a spring day across a beautiful
landscape to reach a lovely destination ahead. A destination where you
will meet those whom you love and those who love you. A journey to
celebration of togetherness and of being in joy and happiness and
generosity towards one another.

This metaphor is directly applicable to the nature of your mind and
the consciousness it carries. Again we are stressing the relationship
between the mind and the heart. For the heart either leads the mind or
the mind leads the heart. One has reins upon the other. Think this
through. And that really is said in humor, because it is much more
effective for you to feel and experience this through. For in thinking
it through, the mind reigns the heart. In experiencing and feeling it
through, the heart reigns the mind.

The heart when it contains the mind, forms a chalice for grace. A
golden chalice that is open and receptive to grace with the jewel of
the mind imbedded within it for divine illumination, divine awareness,
and divine perception of where and when to allow the flow of grace.
This is the expanded form of human consciousness and human being-ness.

The mind within the heart, like the jewel within the chalice, opens to
the receptivity of grace in the exact measure, quality, and quantity
that serves the present circumstances. This is the power of alignment
with heaven. This is the ability to carry heaven through to every
circumstance, to every place, to every person in your life.

We wish to assure you that this is constant and unchanging throughout
your life. Regardless of the circumstances you find yourself in.
Regardless of the conditions. Regardless of your companions. There is
no exception to this. Never.

It is impossible for this to be otherwise. What condition of heaven,
what condition of Creator, would negate this? It runs contrary to the
very nature of heaven. It runs contrary to the truth of love. There is
no place, person, thing or circumstance which is not surrounded by the
opportunity for love, and is not surrounded by the opportunity to open
to greater receptivity and expression of love.

It is the ever-deepening experience of heaven, of being in heaven, of
living and expressing heaven, that we speak to you about. Your heart
is the vessel of heaven. A vessel, both in the sense that it is
receptive and open to be filled with heaven, and in the sense that it
moves as a vessel upon the seas of heaven. It carries you to your
chosen destinations in the manners and the ways that you direct,
either consciously or unconsciously.

You will return to again and again to this interplay of the mind and
the heart, in service and in devotion. It will assist you and help you
find whatever ways serve you to move your consciousness to the center
of your heart, and your heart to the center of your soul.

Number Three: Your Root Chakra - Your Connection to the Earth, the
Degree to Which You are Grounded, Solid and Present Upon the Earth -
This is often referred to as your root chakra or your earth star, and
is the degree of this rooted-ness that you carry in your body, the
degree of connection to the earth that you feel and allow.

Being well grounded is essential for all that we are conveying to you
in this message. This is how you anchor the grace within your body.
Becoming more grounded allows you to more easily unravel the
misperceptions of fear that you carry. The fears of survival. The
fears of lack. The fears that cause beliefs and thoughts related to
your physical survival and well-being. These are carried in deep and
unconscious places within you. They account for the compulsion of
consumption and of attachment to materials far in excess of what your
body requires for health and happiness and well-being.

Certainly, you may find people around you who are never satisfied for
more than a brief time with whatever material acquisitions they
possess. Certainly, within yourself you can find this unquenchable
desire for more, for bigger, for better. Most of this is so simple
that you will find it hard to accept. Most of this is simple fear of
losing your body, which leads to the need to protect it. There are
massive defenses around it that feed unreasonable, irrational and
immeasurable need.

And yet at the same time the forms of art that most often appeal to
you express freedom, lightness of being, joy, and unfettered expansive
being-ness. All of this lightness of being requires virtually no
possessions.

We are offering this as a simple form of contrast to help you be clear
about what your well-being requires. We are not suggesting some
minimalist form of survival that diminishes your ability to create, to
express, to be in a powerfully creative and expansive form of
expressing your gifts. We are simply calling upon you to enter ever
more clarified consciousness about your motivations, your intentions,
your direction, whatever it is your will to be.

We are simply suggesting that you look at what will liberate you from
unconscious and irrational desires, compulsions and impulses. Would
you not be better served by a walk, a hike, a bicycle ride, a swim, or
some other physical engagement than you would acquiring another
material possession? Is there not some place of deep joy and
appreciation that you would find in a form of dance, a form of
physical activity, something that you would do with your hands, than
you would by acquiring some other material possession? Than you would
by putting yet another brick, yet another stone in the wall of your
defenses against irrational and unconscious fears?

The simple way is usually the most potent and powerful. A walk on the
beach, a hike in the mountains, or simple time in your garden are more
powerful ways for you to enter into more of heaven than any material
possession you may acquire.

This is a place for you to be very real with yourself. Again, will the
unconscious needs, desires and fears of the body reign the mind, or
will the mind reign these desires and fears?

We stress discretion and discernment here. For it is not for the mind
to rule the body itself, but to simply examine the motivations and the
desires of the body, the interpretation that the mind gives the
desires and motives of the body. We are not in any way suggesting that
the mind rule the body. We are suggesting a greater awareness of the
interplay between mind and body. We are suggesting that you sort
through what you have identified with the desires of the body. You are
living in an extremely consumption-oriented society and time. The
images, words, and music that you choose to expose yourself to are
very often designed to trigger your fears and desires, both
unconsciously and consciously. They are designed to have you identify
the natural and spontaneous creative energies and desires of your body
with things that you would acquire and consume. Things that you would
buy from another. We simply ask that you be willing to examine the
wiring between your mind and your body. What is presently connected to
what within you? What thoughts and images arise and are attached to
bodily responses. All of the television, movies, magazines, books, and
media that you consume carries implicit or explicit connection
possibilities. Mind and appetite. Mind and sexual impulse. Mind and
food and survival impulses.

This vessel of your consciousness is intended to be pure, completely
and totally your own. It is not intended to be subverted,
commandeered, undermined, or manipulated by another for the other's
needs and purposes. This has become so present around you in your
society that it is often difficult for you to realize the degree and
the magnitude of the influence it has upon you. Again, we return to
your perceptions. Again, we return to what is both in your perceptive
field and what flows around it. Again, we will use the metaphor of a
car and the driver, and ask you to be clear about what you encounter
on the roadway. Is your focus upon a beautiful and unfolding natural
landscape? Is your focus upon steering your vehicle towards that? To
places with beautiful sunrises, beautiful mid-days, beautiful sunsets
and evenings that contain love, peace, generosity, acceptance,
benevolence, kindness and love? Or is it a landscape littered with
unfulfilled desires? Crammed full of billboards that provoke wants and
needs that are not your own? This acceptance of another's perceptions,
or their ability to influence your own, is not the way of the
sovereign being. It is not the way of one who chooses free will. It is
not the way of one who chooses to express their own creativity. It is
not the way of one who recognizes the gifts within and opens those
gifts to the benevolence of heaven.

It is not the way of one who carries the seeds to the garden and
allows the sun, the wind, and the rain, and the soil, and the earth to
do their part. We assure you that your own true seed of creation is
within you. It is not outside of you. There is no need to go outside
of you for this seed. This expression of the gifts within you will be
met by heaven. This is the covenant between you and Creator. That what
you carry - the highest aspects of yourself and of your soul - will
come into full fruition. It is only a matter of time. And time is
without end for you and for your soul. It is without end for you in
your soul. Without end. Without limitation.

This clarification of unconscious motive, desire, need, opens the
unconscious compulsions and impulses. It releases and liberates you
from what would draw your focus from within you to something outside
of yourself. This is a simple and powerful practice of becoming ever
more grounded, ever more present, ever more aligned with the truth
within you, with the truth of creation, and with your place of balance
and harmony within it.

This way of the body entering heaven is both simple and profound. For
the body cannot leave heaven by any means, by any road, other than
where your mind and consciousness would steer it to leave. You are the
driver of your vehicle. Drive to heaven, drive to hell, your choice,
your discretion, your ability as a being of free will. And yet we wish
to stress that even some hell that you would drive to exists also
surrounded, and even infused, with heaven. For the hell that you would
drive to is a place of your own creation, within your own
consciousness, within your own perceptive field. It is like a single
storm cloud: small, constrained and furious, in a beautiful sky. All
around it a wonderful open landscape, and everyone else around it
wondering what the purpose and intention of that single stormy,
furious cloud could be. You create this storm cloud in your own
consciousness. The degree and the magnitude completely determined by you.

We wish to stress that hell is truly an illusion that you both create
and enter on your own. Heaven creates no hell. This is the place you
make for yourself.

These three aspects, mind in concert with divine mind, heart in
concert with the expression of heaven, body in concert with earth and
heaven as one, is the goal, the objective, the purpose of this
message. We wish you to have full understanding that all of creation
moves you to this place. All of creation is at your service as you
choose to accept and embrace it to carry you to this place of heaven
on earth, this place of heaven and earth as one.

The blessings of all of the angels are upon you for this. The
blessings of all of the beings of light and love that illuminate this
path to heaven are upon you. Choose wisely. Place the mind, like a
jewel, within the chalice of the heart. Place the chalice upon the
earth in full knowledge that there is no separation of earth and
heaven. Call to you all of the power and the grace of the heavens to
assist and help you in becoming this yourself and you will receive
exactly what will serve you in your next step to heaven.

The full blessings of creation are given unto you. Be simple and clear
in receiving at your full capacity to do so. Acknowledge and bless
yourself in this. In completion, be fully aware that the way to heaven
is always open to you. Always accessible to you. Always embracing your
journey into a deeper place of being in heaven. Blessings and grace be
with you upon your journey."
