Be the Change, Stand for Peace

Working with the energy of Guardian Angel 39 Rehael, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we approach history, especially when it comes to colonialism and the conflicts in the Middle East. There’s this delicate balance between respecting the past and not letting it define who we are or how we act in the present. This brings me to a concept I’ve found really valuable: filial submission—the idea of honouring what came before while still being responsible for creating our own path forward.

Now, more than ever, I believe we need to find ways to respect all sides and embrace peaceful action, especially when it feels like the world is pulling us toward division. History is complicated, but rewriting it to fit a specific agenda or narrative isn’t the answer. It’s one thing to acknowledge the wrongs of colonialism, for example, but another to only focus on one side of the story, erasing any contributions or complexity. That’s not how we learn, and it’s not how we heal.

When I think about demonstrations we see today, especially regarding the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, I find myself reflecting on what real peace looks like. A recent example stands out to me. Israeli memorial events tend to be quiet, respectful, and they don’t interrupt public life. Yet, I’ve seen Palestinian protests turn into something that causes public disruption, with flags of terrorist organisations on display. And I ask myself, how does this lead to peace? How can we change things if we aren’t focused on peace at our core?

The truth is, if we want to be the change, we have to stand for peace in every sense. It means not provoking the public, not antagonising the police, and not escalating tensions with symbols that fuel hatred. Real peace comes from action, yes, but peaceful action—one that respects others, even when we disagree.

And that’s where filial submission comes in again. To me, it’s about recognising the weight of our history and our ancestors’ struggles, but it’s also about knowing when to evolve. Rehael’s energy teaches us this: hold onto what’s valuable from the past, but don’t let it drag you into repeating cycles of pain. We have the responsibility to act with integrity now, and that means choosing peace, even when it’s hard.

This lesson feels deeply personal to me. It’s made me reflect on how much of my own history I carry and how it shapes my perspective on the world. I have no desire to rewrite the past or seek revenge for the injustices my ancestors faced. For instance, my ancestors were forced to leave their homes in Asia Minor in the 1920s due to their Christian faith. I don’t harbor anger or resentment over it. Instead, I choose to learn from that experience, grow, and apply the lessons to the present.

So, how do we apply this on a personal level? How do we balance honouring the past with moving forward in peace? Here’s what has worked for me:

1. Respect History, Don’t Rewrite It: We all come from somewhere, with our own stories and legacies. It’s important to acknowledge the truth—whether it’s the pain of colonialism or the contributions that came from it. But rewriting history to suit a particular narrative won’t heal wounds. We can’t erase the painful parts or pretend only good things happened. Instead, we must face the past honestly and move forward.

2. Demonstrate Peacefully, With Integrity: If you believe in a cause, show it, but do it in a way that fosters understanding rather than conflict. I’ve learned that true change comes when we protest with compassion, not aggression. No matter how justified the anger may feel, waving flags tied to violence and provoking the authorities won’t bring us closer to peace.

3. Respect Others, Even When It’s Difficult: It’s not easy to respect those we disagree with, but it’s essential for real progress. Filial submission calls for humility—it’s about letting go of ego and pride, accepting that sometimes we’re not always right, and striving for a greater good.

4. Evolve, Don’t Get Stuck: We honour the past by learning from it, not by being bound by it. There’s a time to let go of old grudges, even if they feel justified, and a time to focus on building a future where peace can thrive. I’ve had to reflect on what I carry with me and how much of it serves me now. Sometimes, letting go is the most powerful act of all.

In the end, being the change and standing for peace means acting from a place of understanding. It means not letting history become a weapon we use against each other, but a teacher that guides us forward. It’s personal, it’s ongoing, and it’s something each of us can embody.

Let’s commit to creating a future built on respect, integrity, and peace. We’ve all got the power to be the change—so let’s stand for it together.

This is not about lecturing or pointing fingers; it’s about sharing what I’ve come to believe and how we can apply these lessons in our own lives. I hope this resonates with you, and maybe, it’ll spark some reflection on how we can all contribute to a more peaceful world.

Let’s be the change. Let’s stand for peace.

Lion's Gate Portal

 

Now we are experiencing a cosmic event called the Lion Gate. The 8:8 Lion’s Gate is a yearly cosmic gateway when the Sun returns to its home in Leo and the star Sirius rises in the sky into alignment with the Earth. This auspicious celestial window and numerological portal activates the star intelligence. During this window, the brightest star in the night sky, Sirius, separates significantly from the Sun to come into a clear, bright, powerful beam of her own onto the Earth. This cosmic glow provides an open runway for manifesting energy more easily.

This cosmic event occurs every year between July 28 and August 12. However, its powers are most potent on August 8 (8/8), which is known by some as the Galactic New Year. It activates a tremendous amount of star power energy. It stays open until August 12.

This portal has been called the infinity portal or the Lion’s Gate, an energetic activation of the numbers 8/8, August: eighth month, in the sign of Leo the lion, on the eighth day of the year.

The Significance of the number 8.

The number 8 in numerology represents abundance, prosperity and inner wisdom, The number 8 holds the same geometric shape as our DNA structure that  holds memories of our ancestors lines and holds our current codes on how we develop, and reproduce in our daily lives (DNA Structure & Function: A Simple Guide for Beginners (humanoriginproject.com). It brings power, positive momentous shifts, and a bridge between the etheric and earthy realms giving you a super boost to attain all that you are calling in.

True prosperity, undeniable fulfillment, and tangible and timeless wealth find momentum in the 8th portal.

 

What is the function of the portal?

During this time higher frequency energies flood through this gateway bringing us heightened wisdom, experiences, and activations.

The Lion's Gate Portal opening is a time when we  as individuals are able to manifest abundance more than any other time of the year. Every year when the portal opens it is an opportunity for us who are aware of it to use the portal to evolve, and become a more empowered, stronger, better version of ourselves. It's a chance to move nearer to the person we want to be and the life we want to live.

How does the portal work?

As the Lion's Gate Portal is fully opened, the high frequency of energy offered means it's the perfect time to manifest our deepest desires and dreams. It's a time to slow down, meditate and focus on our dreams. During this time, you might have the tendency to feel overly tired and want to constantly rest. Or you might find yourself feeling sick. Instead of fighting it, go with it. It is a way the universe is connecting with you, to encourage you to slow down so that you can reflect and contemplate on what you want to do with your life.

What other symptoms could you be experiencing during this period?

You might find that you are having vivid flashbacks of present or past life memories or difficulty sleeping around this time. This energy also brings us great potential for growth and manifestation.

While the Lion gate is open pay attention  to what is coming up for you - is it showing you something that needs to be healed? Something that isn’t aligned. Or inviting you to step forward into the unknown?

 Be aware of your emotions and thought patterns. Your thoughts and emotion are waves of energy, and they can influence your outcome. If you have doubts, the positive outcome does not happen. If you expect positive results, then positive results will happen. Changes do not happen overnight. It is a journey of personal growth, sometimes the positive outcome could be some thing that you did not expect. Always remember that the universe conspires to bring to you what you desire.

 About wanting to manifesting World peace.

Also note, if you are requesting world peace and good will, the universe can only give what the world can handle. Every human being thought, and emotion affects the outcome. The more of us who mindfully take positive action and try to bring peace in our environment, the easier it is for the universe to tip the scales and bring peace to the whole planet. We all have free will.  What energy thought is prevailing, that will win. What is happening in the world, is the reflection of population’s thoughts. Whatever happens in one country, affects us all around the world energetically. The war in Ukraine, human trafficking and slavery, killings, disunity…etc.… even though it does not affect us personally, affects the whole planet. The best way to change this negative energy, is to stay positive in your environment, be the change you want to see and take responsibility of your actions. The more of us who practice this,  eventually the scales will change, and notice more goodwill in the planet. We can request these positive changes at this gate, to start the ball rolling of bringing universal peace to this planet.  When more of us practice good will, we will eventually see positive changes happening on the planet. If the general population refuses to change for the better, than the changes will be slower. To promote the positive change, instead of expecting the other person to change, be the change. Good will encourages good will, so be the change you want to see.

 

What happens on the 8th August?

On August 8, this energy peaks making it the perfect time to focus on what you want to manifest. Getting clear on your goals and taking aligned action to call them forward. The number eight also represents karmic loops and infinite transformation - what you put out you receive. How committed are you to your goals and the necessary inner work of healing and breaking cycles and limiting beliefs in order to receive more?

Is it too late to work with the lion gate portal after 8th August?

It is not too late to consider what you want to manifest. You still have time to consider what you want to to manifest via the gate until the 12th August. Just write out what you want to achieve in the next 12 months.

Guardian Angel for this Period from the Tree of Life

You can ask Guardian Angel 28 #Seheiah, to help get through the Lion Gate. Seheiah is the guardian Angel for the period August 7^th till 12^th. Call  Seherial , by intoning   “ say-HAY-ee-YAH” 3 times (Emphasis on upper case word). Seheiah supports you in working with the Divine, so that you connect to your purpose and be the best version of yourself. Seheiah guides you by bringing to your attention what is life-affirming to yourself and those around you.  Listen to your heart. The heart will cause-correct when you need to and guide you to where you are supposed to be.

Listening to your heart means having the awareness that every action or thought you make has a consequence, that it either encourages goodwill, cooperation, grace or it encourages division, disharmony, tension. Think before you act, work from the heart and listen to the Divine light within and trust in Divine timing. Seheiah encourages you to do what you love and to connect to the Divine within.

When you engage with what is not Life-affirming to you, even to fight against it for a noble cause, your vibration is lowered. Be a light for what you love, what you desire to affirm and increase. This is important for the changes we desire now. Focus on what you want. Ignore the negative stories, the noise, just listen to your heart , follow your path; stay on that path and do what your heart desires. This encourages peace of mind, hope and longevity. This also encourages world peace.

 

What to expect when you work with the portal?

Every year, the Lion Gate doorway opens, giving people the ability to change and grow as individuals. This is the time to bring your imagined self into reality.  The opening of the Lion Gate gateway enables the positive energy to assist you in becoming the finest versions of yourself.
