Mercury- The Quickening

The myth is that the planet is moving backwards in time, moving backwards through
the astrological houses.  Moving backwards always indicates to tribal consciousness
a slow down, a breakdown.  A lack of movement forward, a stagnation.  Therefore,
this is what occurs in people’s lives.  They embrace stagnation; they expect things
will happen in a terrible way.  They expect for there to be loss.  Several people will
actually choose to leave the planet during the time of Mercury Retrograde.  But in
actuality Mercury Retrograde is a time of moving forward, a time of acceleration, a
time of quickening.  It happens several times a year, which allows you as a people
and your planet to move forward through the evolution of the energies, through the
evolution of rising in dimensional vibrations. The planet itself is not actually backing
up.  The planet is shifting on course with relation to the sun, with relation to other
planets.  It appears that it is moving backwards in such a way, because that is the
only way your scientists can explain what is occurring.  The fact is Mercury is
shifting on orbit and changing its direction- still moving forward, still moving
in an elliptical fashion.  It is elongating the long axis of the ellipse and therefore,
narrowing out the shorter axis of the ellipse.  It appears from you r viewpoint that it
is moving in a different direction.  

The standard orbit of Mercury is an elliptical one.  Your scientists feel that it is more
of a circular one due to the fact that it is so close to the sun.  They also feel that it
won’t pass beyond the orbit of Venus so therefore, it must have a more circular
orbit.  But since it changes its travel through the ethers, through the universe, the
only way your scientists have been able to explain this fact, is to say that it is backing
up or going into retrograde.  To your scientists planets can change their orbit only if
something catastrophic has occurred- there has been an explosion of significant
magnitude, there has been a White Dwarf that has exploded, or a some sort of new
star created- some galactic force has caused the planet to move.  But in actuality
that's just the way that Mercury has chosen to move.  

This change in orbit happens at different times during the year not necessarily always
the same times each year.  Such as last year, 2004, the retrograde happened at the
end August into early September versus normally happening in August.  That is only
due to the fact of where you are as a planet, as a people.  If you need the quickening
to happen, the quickening will happen.  One of the aids for this quickening is the
change in the pull of Mercury.  With the orbital change, Mercury’s gravitational pull
on the Earth changes and becomes more intense.  It changes the magnetic fields
around the planet.  
Therefore, affecting you as beings since you are of energy and your body is mainly
composed of water.  It affects your magnetics; it affects personal magnetics.  The
energies that are coming to you, even though the magnetics has shifted on the planet,
are energies that you should have coming towards you at this time.  They are not
harmful.  There are a lot of people who don’t comprehend that alerting your
magnetics is just another way of opening energy fields to your body.  Allowing your
body to be able to be a conduit of greater energies.  Now that you understand what is
actually occurring, we will cease addressing this blessed time as Mercury Retrograde,
but instead term it: MERCURY- THE QUICKENING.

MERCURY- THE QUICKENING is a great time for attunements.  It is a great time
for spiritual work because you are a more open conduit.   It’s a time to embrace the
acceleration forward.  It’s a time of invention.  It is a time of provoking thoughts.  It
is a time of channeling.  It is a time to write books.  It is a time to be contemplative in
forward thoughts not contemplative in backward thoughts.  Not contemplative in
what has occurred in your life, but what you want to have occur, what you want to
create for yourself.  It is not a time to be the turtle that goes into the shell or be the
hibernating bear that goes into the cave.  It is a time to embrace rather than fear.  A
lot of your astrologers actually mark Mercury Retrograde as a time of no purchases,
as a time of take shelter.  In actuality if you embrace what is going on in MERCURY-
THE QUICKENING you will then understand that it is a time to be more fully you
rather than less of you.  It is not a time of stagnation; it is a time of manifestation.  It
is a time to move forward.  It is a time to take action.  It is a time to embrace
transition in your life.  

So do not fear my friends.  The fact that MERCURY- THE QUICKENING is
perceived as so powerful in a negative way to so many people is just their fear.  It is
just their misunderstanding, misinformation about what is really going on.  If you feel
as though your energy fields are really being affected, then what you need to do is
seek balance.  Mediate with regards to balance.  Mediation with regards to balancing
out the electromagnetic fields with in your body; the electromagnetic fields coming to
your body.  It’s a time of seeking balance.  It’s a good time for exercises such as
yoga, dance, pilates, things that stretch the body and allow the body to become more
whole, more balanced, more unified.  Those are the things that will cause you to
move forward.  Taking baths, the water acts as a conduit and also acts as a balancer
to these energies.  Swimming is a good idea with the thought of creating balance
within your body.  It utilizes the balancing, harmonizing effects of the water, but also
creates balance because you use your entire body when you swim.   It’s a good way
to balance out the muscular structure and the skeletal structure of the entire body by
just one simple exercise.

A lot of people consider this a time of breakdown, a time where your computers act
up, where things of that nature occur.  What you need to do is in the moment realize
that it is not a time of breakdown, nothing is going wrong.  Seek the balance and just
close your eyes, and seek the balance.  Ask for the energies to be balanced around
you and within you.  Now this won’t necessarily fix your computer if it there is
indeed something wrong with it.  It will fix the problem if the energies coming to it
were in a state of imbalance.  What the breakdown is telling you is that a door has
just opened of new possibilities.  Things that do go wrong during MERCURY- THE
QUICKENING will never be of such a catastrophic nature for you that you will not
be able to move through it.  

For example, if you have a program on your computer that begins to act up and lock
up your system there is actually something wrong with the program.  So you need to
seek technical assistance and adjust what is going wrong with the program.  It is
breaking down at a time when it is not so significant for you.  Had it not been
affected by these wonderful energies of MERCURY- THE QUICKENING and it was
affected later, you more than likely would have lost your entire archive of files.  
Whereas now, all it is doing is causing you not to be able to start your computer but
your files are all there.  So see the blessing in the situation, that it is just telling you
that something needs to be shifted, something needs to occur.  It is happening now in
a smaller format than in a way it could actually occur.  So embrace that and don’t see
all of the little small things as “Oh, the cause is Mercury Retrograde!  This is
happening because of Mercury Retrograde!”  

Another example, if you were to go to the gas station and for some reason the pump
is not working you have more pumps there- just move to another one.  Let the
attendant know because there is something in that the attendant must see so that the
pump can function appropriately.  Whereas, you can just move on to another station,
get your gas, and move forward.  You are conveying important information.  Don’t
see it as “The pump isn’t working for me, this isn’t working for me, that isn’t
working for me- it’s all because of Mercury Retrograde”  If you see it in that way,
that is exactly what you will bring to you.  You need to change your thought patterns,
get rid of those old tapes you keep playing over and over.  If you embrace
MERCURY- THE QUICKENING, you will create a new beginning.  You will
create a state of bliss.  You will create a state of creation rather than a state of
chaos.  

So embrace MERCURY- THE QUICKENING.  See it as a time of change, see it as a
time of shifting the energy.  See it as a time of healing.  The planet is actually going
through healing stages as the energies are shifted.  Because it brings more galactic
energies to the planet.  It opens up more portals.  It allows the star master of the
white light to bring galactic energies, teachings, and attunements to the planet herself
and also to her inhabitants.  So it is a great time of communicating with the galactic
on all levels.  So if you choose to work with the galactic then in MERCURY- THE
QUICKENING is the time to do that.  It is a great time of wondrous communication.  
The information will be clear and concise.  You will be conveyed a lot of information
during this time.

You can also travel during your dream states or in mediation to other planets more
easily during the time of MERCURY- THE QUICKENING.  That is because the
energies have shifted, because of the quickening that is occurring.  You can consider
them little mini quickenings that happen throughout the year.   It is a great time to
communicate with the galactic due to the shifts in energy.  You have a lot of beings
that travel to the Earth because the energy is more conducive to them during
MERCURY- THE QUICKENING.  So look to the stars, look up, be aware of what is
doing on around you. During the time of MERCURY- THE QUICKENING the veil is
also thinner so you can also see more, you can perceive more.  You can be in tune
more with what is actually going on around you in the celestial realms.  A lot of
people don’t see that, a lot of people don’t take advantage of that because they are so
caught up in the intensity of “Oh, Mercury Retrograde!  Something bad is going to
happen to me!  I need to stay inside my house.  I don’t’ want to buy anything.  I can’
t make big purchases.  I can’t buy a house.  I can’t move forward.”  There are
people who have gone house hunting for several months, then Mercury Retrograde
shows up and they cease all action for three to four weeks.  When you think about it
that doesn’t necessarily make sense.  There is really nothing that should stop you on
your path.

So embrace MERCURY- THE QUICKENING my friends.  Embrace it!  Take this
MERCURY- THE QUICKENING as a time to change your thought patterns as a time
to break away from tribal consciousness, as a time to embrace the energies and use
them to transform your life.  See MERCURY- THE QUICKENING as an adventure.  
See MERCURY- THE QUICKENING as a time of exploration outwardly, as a time of
continuing on your path rather than a time to seek internal console with yourself.  
Don’t see it as a time to be so hard on yourself when this is a time to be proud of the
work you have done and the work you are about to do.  It is a time for you to
blossom, hence why the first MERCURY- THE QUICKENING of each year is on or
around Springtime, a time when Mother Earth is just beginning to bloom.  Seek out
the energies of MERCURY- THE QUICKENING and use them to aid you in moving
forward.  Allow it to act as the catalyst it was meant to be.

I am Archangel Raphael.  I hold you completely and fully in the love and light of
God.  Go my friends and do the work you were meant to do.  Blessings to you all.
