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.
