Truth-Telling for All: A Balanced Approach to History, Healing, and Spiritual Wisdom

Mikael’s teachings remind us that life is fluid, ever-changing, and filled with opportunities for growth. This perspective can guide our understanding of history, especially during times of social tension. In Australia, truth-telling has become central to addressing past injustices, particularly those concerning the Stolen Generations of Indigenous children. These children were taken from their homes, placed in institutions, and faced trauma. Truth-telling seeks to acknowledge these stories, fostering healing.

However, another group of children—the British orphans, also known as “child migrants”—has been overlooked. They too were sent to Australia, where they endured isolation, neglect, and trauma. Their experiences remain largely forgotten, highlighting an imbalance in how we remember history.

Christian and Indigenous Teachings on Truth-Telling:
Christian teachings emphasize the liberating power of truth. As Christ said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). Truth is not selective; it is for the healing of all. The Bible also calls for justice for the marginalized: “Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression” (Isaiah 1:17). Both Indigenous and British children deserve to have their pain acknowledged.

Indigenous wisdom, too, offers guidance. Truth is not just a set of facts; it is a lived experience connected to the land, community, and spirit. The concept of Ngapartji Ngapartji—reciprocity and shared understanding—emphasises the importance of mutual truth-telling. Truth-telling should aim to restore balance, not create division.

Fostering Inclusive Truth-Telling: 
To create a more holistic understanding of history, we must:

1. Broaden the Conversation: Recognised the injustices experienced by all marginalised groups, including the British orphans, alongside Indigenous Australians. This helps create a more complete historical narrative.

2. Encourage Education: Truth-telling starts with awareness. Educational systems must include all stories of injustice to foster empathy and understanding.

3. Apply Mikael’s Teachings of Adaptation: As life changes, so should our approach to history. We must remain open to learning new layers of truth and adapting our understanding.

4. Promote Healing Through Acknowledgment: True healing requires acknowledging all forms of suffering. By recognising  the trauma of both the Stolen Generations and the British orphans, we create space for collective healing.

Conclusion: The Path to Reconciliation:
Mikael reminds us that life’s challenges, including confronting historical truths, are opportunities for growth. Truth-telling must be inclusive, revealing the full spectrum of experiences. Both Christian and Indigenous wisdom offer pathways toward healing, justice, and balance. Only by listening to all voices can we foster true reconciliation and move forward as a unified nation.

7)  How can individuals and communities embrace a fluid approach to understanding history, allowing for growth and new perspectives over time?

8)  What challenges might arise when trying to expand the scope of truth-telling to include all stories of injustice, and how can these challenges be addressed?

 

Face Your Feelings to Heal

Last Thursday morning, I woke up feeling an unusual heaviness, not realising it was World Mental Health Day. The angel energy of the day was Yeiazel—the angel who listens and comforts from the heart. As I lay there, I was overwhelmed by a deep sense of loneliness. I reflected on how those who seem superficial often appear to thrive, effortlessly forming connections. It felt as though those of us who genuinely care, who try to do the right thing, are frequently overlooked or left behind.

My mind kept circling back to an event I attended earlier in the week. I noticed some relatives casually moving about the room, socialising with ease, acting important, yet barely acknowledging family members. They only spoke when directly approached, out of politeness, but there was no real connection. The sting of judgment and their indifferent energy weighed on me, especially as I found myself on the receiving end of it.
It’s hard to understand why this happens. I’ve never gone out of my way to hurt anyone. I try to be supportive, celebrating others’ successes sincerely. Yet, often the response I receive is cold, sometimes filled with resentment or jealousy. It’s baffling. Why do superficial people seem to have so many connections? Is it all an illusion? Perhaps there’s a lesson in this, something the angels are trying to help me see.

Later that morning, I attended a breakfast with like-minded women, seeking connection that goes beyond the surface. Their warmth and kindness struck me so deeply that I found myself in tears. I didn’t expect to cry, but I was grateful for their compassion. Still, the pain from Tuesday’s event lingered, and my soul felt heavy as I tried to process it all. It was as though I had been bottling up these emotions for far too long.

Keeping these feelings inside hasn’t served me well. It has led to self-doubt and unhealthy comparisons, especially when I think about the shallow nature of certain family members. But crying today, in a safe and supportive space, was cathartic. It reminded me that vulnerability isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a true mark of strength. I’m grateful for the friendships I’ve built and the family members who show up with authenticity and care.

When we allow ourselves to cry, angels like Yeiazel come near, offering comfort and healing. They may not take away the pain, but they help us carry it, bringing clarity and peace. Last week, I felt that presence guiding me through the hurt, reminding me that it’s okay to release my emotions. In doing so, I’m rediscovering my strength.

Yeiazel’s gentle energy reassures me that in vulnerability, there is strength. In letting go of what no longer serves us—whether it’s resentment, self-doubt, or pain—we make space for healing and emotional peace.

The experience of shedding these heavy emotions has been a reminder that we are all on a journey. Some days, we feel the weight of the world, but by letting go of what burdens us, we move closer to a place of lightness and clarity. Last week on World Mental Health Day, I was reminded of the importance of releasing what no longer serves us. It’s a step toward healing, toward living with more intention, and finding peace within ourselves.

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.

A Lesson in Listening: Finding Peace in Challenging Conversations

One day at work last week, making a series of  straightforward phone calls, one conversation stood out, not because of its content alone, but because of the emotions and beliefs it evoked. It was a dialogue filled with frustration, judgment, and deep-rooted opinions on some of the most sensitive global and religious topics.

The gentleman I spoke with was passionate, particularly about the ongoing situations in Lebanon and Gaza. He was adamant in his views, blaming Zionist Jews for creating the turmoil in the region. His stance went further, touching on topics of religious significance, including the second coming of Jesus. He believed that Zionist Jews and Zionist Catholics alike were opposed to this divine event, and that God's punishment was imminent.

I listened carefully. There was a part of me that wanted to respond with the same intensity, to counter his judgments, and argue against his sweeping generalisations. But something inside told me to take a different approach. I reminded him, and myself, that we don’t know when the second coming will happen, and more importantly, that God’s judgment is far beyond human comprehension. It is not for us to condemn entire groups of people, whether they be Jews, Catholics, or any other.

The conversation shifted to politics and corruption. He expressed disillusionment with leaders who don’t keep their promises and a sense of hopelessness in a world filled with suffering. Once again, I responded calmly, agreeing that the world is indeed imperfect. But I also shared my belief that despite the negativity we often hear, good things are happening behind the scenes—things that don’t always make it to the headlines.

Throughout this exchange, I felt torn. On one hand, I recognised that he had valid points—about corruption, suffering, and the complexity of the world’s problems. On the other hand, I felt uneasy with his judgments about entire communities. I knew that arguing with him would only escalate tensions, so I chose to focus on listening, offering gentle responses where I could, but mostly allowing him the space to express himself.

What struck me most was how easy it could have been to fall into old patterns of reacting and arguing with someone whose views clashed with mine. But I’ve learned the value of stepping back, of recognising that not everyone shares my beliefs, and that’s okay. I realised that sometimes, the best response is simply to listen.

In this situation, I found solace in the idea of releasing old patterns, of not letting them control me. It reminded me of the Guardian Angel Aniel, whose presence encourages us to break free from outdated habits and embrace a more peaceful path. I also thought of YEIAZEL, the heart angel of the day, who brings divine consolation and comfort—a soft landing for the heart in difficult times. Who also encourages us to listen.

This experience taught me that not everyone will have the same expectations or beliefs about the future, especially regarding something as profound as the second coming. It also reminded me that if I am unsure about certain facts or beliefs, there is no need to argue—sometimes, it’s enough to simply listen, to let others feel heard, and to trust that, in the end, it is God who will judge us all.

Ultimately, this conversation reinforced an important lesson for me: we live in an imperfect world, but we don’t have to let that imperfection lead to division. Instead, we can choose to be patient, compassionate, and understanding—even when we don’t agree.

Take a Moment to Reflect:

• Have you ever found yourself in a conversation where you were challenged to listen rather than react? How did it make you feel?
• When faced with differing opinions or beliefs, what helps you stay calm and compassionate?
• How do you personally practice patience in moments of frustration or disagreement?
• Do you find comfort in the idea of divine guidance or the belief that unseen good is happening behind the scenes?

: Embracing Wisdom and Remembrance: Honoring Anzac Heroes and Divine Guidance in My Journey

 

As I pause to reflect on the profound significance of Anzac Day and the sacrifices made by our heroes, the solemn words "Lest We Forget" resonate deeply within my soul. In this blog, I invite you to join me on a journey of remembrance, as we explore how the wisdom of the 72 angels of the Kabbalah and the teachings of Christianity illuminate my path and guide me in honouring our heroes while embodying their virtues.

Drawing strength from the teachings of Christianity and the guidance of the 72 angels, I aim to live authentically and be the best version of myself, always remembering those who sacrificed for our freedom.

Working with the 72 Angels to Live a Purposeful Life with Compassion .

“Living a purposeful life with compassion” means leading a life that is guided by a clear sense of purpose or meaning, while also embodying and practicing compassion in interactions with oneself and others. It suggests a conscious and intentional approach to living that combines a sense of direction or mission with a genuine, caring attitude towards the well-being of oneself and those around them. This motivates us to promote and implement  social justice , and the path of compassion.

Navigating the Spectrum: Woke Awareness, Social Justice, and the Path of Compassion  with the assistance of the 72 angels and tree of life.

In today’s diverse world, achieving an understanding of social justice demands a delicate balance of woke awareness, compassionate actions, and an unwavering commitment to truth. This intricacy becomes more pronounced when individuals aspire to align with their soul purpose, approaching it with love and respect for others’ perspectives while holding true to their beliefs without compromise.

Engaging with the 72 angels of the Tree of Life serves as a gateway to profound spiritual experiences, personal growth, and a connection to the divine. Embracing the angels energies allows us to delve into the depths of our souls, unraveling the mysteries of existence and embracing our divine heritage, connecting us to our purpose and mission in life. This is akin to having a guiding North Star that directs our actions and choices. The angels offer profound direction, focus, and meaning, making our life journey purposeful and rewarding. They guide us on how we can contribute positively to the community. Working with the 72 angels assist us in overcoming personal insecurities and fears, helping us comprehend our mission and uncover our “why.” This, in turn, empowers us to navigate obstacles with purpose, actively and passionately engaging in advocating for social justice and contributing to positive change in our communities.

The guidance provided by the angels illuminates the path to our life’s purpose, aiding us in harmonising our actions with our true calling. Encouraging us to make a positive difference in our environment by taking responsibility for our actions. Not relying on others to get things done . Just being the change we want to see.

Woke Awareness

Wokeness encompasses a deep awareness of prevalent social injustices and systemic inequalities. It encourages questioning the status quo, challenging ingrained norms, and seeking a profound understanding of the complexities that envelop us. This awareness serves as a catalyst for change, urging individuals to scrutinise their biases and engage in a more inclusive dialogue with a commitment to uncovering the truth.

However, solely focusing on popular social justice issues, as some woke supporters advocate, is insufficient. The woke phenomenon tends to concentrate on specific popular themes of injustices, potentially neglecting a more comprehensive examination of societal challenges. In certain instances, there is an oversight or neglect of less popular injustices such as child exploitation and human trafficking.

To truly address these complexities, a more compassionate and comprehensive approach is needed. Balancing awareness and action across various challenges is crucial for ensuring that efforts towards justice and social change have a positive, inclusive impact. This consideration is vital for a more effective and equitable approach to addressing societal issues.

It’s important to note that woke awareness is not a modern phenomenon; its roots extend throughout history. The abolition of slavery, for instance, didn’t arise solely from wokeness but from individuals becoming aware of a social injustice, questioning the norm, and taking constructive actions to make a difference. Understanding the historical context of social awareness can guide us toward a more compassionate and nuanced approach in addressing contemporary challenges. One does not have to be an advocate for woke to initiate social justice. 

Social Justice: The Pursuit of Equality

You don't necessarily have to align with or actively support the woke movement to take action for social justice.  Anyone regardless of their stance on certain ideologies, can contribute to promoting fairness, equality, and positive change in society.

Social justice, in other words, is the pursuit of equality and fairness in society. Rooted in the belief that every individual deserves equal rights and opportunities, it strives to dismantle structures perpetuating discrimination. The essence of social justice lies in fostering a community where everyone can thrive, irrespective of their background, while remaining steadfast in the pursuit of truth.

Finding the Middle Ground: Compassion in Action

Harmonising woke awareness and social justice involves practicing compassion . Having an unwavering commitment to truth. It’s about recognising the different shades of individual experiences and understanding that transformation takes time. Rather than imposing rigid ideologies, it involves fostering open dialogue, empathising with diverse perspectives, and acknowledging the unique challenges faced by different communities—all while seeking the truth in the process.

Empathy as a Bridge

Empathy becomes the bridge between woke awareness, social justice, and truth. By genuinely understanding the struggles of others, we create a space for dialogue that transcends ideological boundaries. Through empathy, connections are built, fostering a collective commitment to positive change without alienating those resistant to certain concepts, all while valuing the truth underlying these conversations.

The Danger of Imposition

Imposing social justice ideals on society can lead to resistance and division. Instead, let’s invite others into the conversation with openness, respect, and an emphasis on truth. Recognising that change is a gradual process ensures that we’re not alienating individuals grappling with the complexity of these issues while staying true to the pursuit of justice.

A Compassionate and Truthful Approach

In the intricate dance between woke awareness, social justice, and truth, a compassionate approach rooted in unwavering honesty is the guiding light. It acknowledges that everyone is on their unique journey of understanding, and our role is to foster an environment where dialogue and transformation can flourish. Navigating this path together, we weave a tapestry of understanding and empathy for a more just and harmonious world, anchored in the pursuit of truth.

Conclusion: Incorporating Compassion and Social Justice in Everyday Life.

In our daily lives, we live out this philosophy by engaging in discussions with an open heart, acknowledging diverse perspectives. We strive to embody compassion, letting honesty guide us through the complexities of woke awareness, social justice, and truth. Recognising that each person is on their unique journey of understanding, we cultivate an environment conducive to dialogue and growth. Together, we navigate this path, weaving a tapestry of understanding and empathy, contributing to a more just and harmonious world anchored in the pursuit of truth.

One can make a difference by taking responsibility and initiating positive change. Be the change you want to see. Instead of passing judgment, act with love and compassion. Take action with sincerity. If you disagree with your local representative, mobilise your friends to send letters or emails expressing your concerns. The collective voice of peaceful protest holds more power. Connect with like-minded individuals to peacefully advocate for change. It is through heartfelt action and unity that meaningful transformations occur.
