“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.
We are illuminating many paths to ascension for each and every one of you. There is not just one. There will not be one experience of ascension, as that would not serve Source’s desire for a variety of experiences. You, as souls, desire a variety of experiences because you are little chunks of Source Energy, so why would Source be any different from you as the individual chunks? You crave variety of experience, and so does Source. Therefore, there will be as many different experiences of ascension as there are beings incarnate at this time throughout the entire universe and throughout the entire multiverse. This is why we say we are illuminating many paths to ascension; it is because there isn’t just one.
You get to decide which path you take, and we will always encourage you to take the path that feels the best, that has the most opportunities for joy and expansion. And we know that you want the same for yourselves, but we also know that it is easy to sucked in to someone else’s story of what ascension will be like for everyone or for the percentage of the population that is going to ascend. We would like for you to forget about everything you’ve ever been told and instead tune in to your ideal path and feel into what it feels like. Now, as you do so, you invite others to join you, but they don’t have to join you on your path. They can take their own good-feeling path to a higher level of consciousness, because we are all different. Therefore, you don’t have to tell people that you have found ‘the way’ and try to get them to join you on ‘the one and only path.’
Instead, you give everyone permission to be themselves and to follow the path of joy by doing so yourself. Now, along the way, of course, you are going to encounter the themes, the issues, the karma and the trauma that you came to experience so that you can release all of your negative energy, your judgments, your fears, and so on, around those experiences. But you might as well encounter those little potholes on the path of greatest joy for you, and we want you to know that you get to decide what your joy is as well. You are there to experience it all, not just the good stuff, but all of it, in order to then choose the stuff that you deem to be good for you, good as far as you are concerned, and joyous, of course.
When you make those choices, and you continue to focus on the choice you have made, you manifest that reality, you experience that path, and you get to have more joy because you have chosen to be yourself, your whole self, rather than to follow along with what everyone else is doing or what most people are believing is necessary for you to do or to partake in, in order to get to the next level of consciousness. All you have to do is be yourself and follow your feelings.
Now, of course, you have heard about the differences between service to self and service to others. Well, guess what? When you’re joyous, your service to others matters more. It creates a bigger impact on the lives of those you seek to serve than when you are doing so out of guilt, out of obligation, or out of a feeling that you have to do it in order to be the better version of yourself that others have told you about. Inspire others with the way you live your lives, and they will inspire others, and those will inspire others, and so on and so on. That’s the path of joy, and all the paths of joy are what we are illuminating with our messages to you and with the energies that we send.
We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”
