Chapter 1: The Journey of Belief

Last night, I realized I hadn't shared any articles this week, which feels unusual for me. Despite publishing less frequently than before, I had promised to channel and write an article today, although I was initially unsure of the topic.

This morning, I stumbled upon a thought-provoking piece by Marcus, known as Gregory Maidman, titled "Let's Talk About Knowing Versus Believing." His article included a quote from one of my previous writings, responding to a different article and the ensuing discussions. That’s a lot to unpack! Over the years, Marcus and I have exchanged numerous comments, and while we don't always see eye to eye, our mutual respect helps us challenge each other's perspectives, which I deeply appreciate.

In his article, Marcus reflected on an interaction he had with another commenter. He possesses knowledge that the other person either overlooks or refuses to consider without empirical evidence, which is quite common. My late husband shared a similar viewpoint, often struggling to accept concepts not grounded in scientific proof, particularly those based on faith. We frequently engaged in stimulating discussions that I still cherish.

However, I was troubled by the blatant disrespect the other commenter displayed toward Marcus. I have faced similar treatment over the years and find it perplexing that some feel entitled to belittle others for holding differing opinions or processing information differently. To me, this behavior often stems from insecurity.

Thanks to Marcus’s insights, I now have a clear direction for my writing today. I channeled the Archangels to gather their thoughts on the topic of diverse beliefs, the sources from which they arise, and the necessity of respecting differences. Here’s their perspective:

Question: I wish to explore themes of belief, proof, science, intuition, and the importance of respecting diverse viewpoints, even when they differ from my own.

Answer: Two main themes emerge from your question: the evolution of thought and the importance of valuing diversity through respect.

We have reiterated the significance of honoring others' beliefs and rights. Respecting individual choices is fundamental to equality. Without this foundation, peace—both on personal and global scales—remains elusive. Embracing differences is beneficial, but genuine respect and acceptance are essential.

All beliefs and truths can coexist, regardless of whether they share similarities. Upholding a belief as truth is a personal right, and such truths are only absolute for the individual holding them. Moreover, these personal truths can evolve, sometimes becoming outdated as one grows. This evolution doesn't imply that the individual was wrong initially; rather, it signifies growth in understanding.

Humanity would benefit from recognizing truths and beliefs as relative and evolving rather than fixed absolutes. Investigate your own truths while maintaining an open mind. In assessing what to believe, consider all relevant information, including science, diverse perspectives, established facts, intuition, research, and personal experiences. If you prefer to rely solely on proven facts, that's acceptable, but remember that many scientific truths are still undiscovered, and past "facts" have sometimes been disproven. Science, like intuition and belief, is in a constant state of evolution.

There is a certain strength in accepting truths without the need for proof. Proof is subjective, varying from individual to individual. For instance, our channel communicates with us, values our wisdom, and to her, that exchange is proof enough. She has experienced this firsthand. Others may not have had similar experiences, but should she dismiss her own because of that?

Recent technological advancements in science are beginning to support claims related to channeling and other psychic phenomena. Yet, such proof isn't necessary for her belief; her personal experience suffices. Whether others believe her is their choice. Some do, while others remain skeptical, but her truth and experience stand independently of external validation.

She has gathered nearly 5000 followers through her writing, some of whom resonate with her messages, while others do not. Regardless of belief, our aim is to assist those who benefit from her work. We don't seek to prove our existence or convince anyone of our legitimacy; we simply wish to share our love and wisdom.

If you don’t believe in the Archangels, we hold no resentment. We hope our messages can still offer you some benefit. We remain available to all who seek our guidance, regardless of their belief or skepticism. Our love and support are unconditional, not contingent upon belief.

For those who criticize others for their beliefs—whether in the Archangels, the Creator, or other unproven concepts—consider this: What drives your need to insult those who hold differing views? Are you envious of their ability to believe without proof? Do you seek the peace and joy that their beliefs seem to provide?

What unsettles you when someone finds comfort in faith that you deem unfounded? Why do you believe your views are more valid than theirs?

It is unreasonable to claim that science has discovered all truths, especially as new knowledge emerges continuously. Why, then, dismiss what has yet to be proven? More importantly, why criticize those who accept beliefs that don't require empirical validation?

We don't demand answers; rather, we suggest that pondering these questions may uncover deeper truths.

There is no shame in needing scientific proof to support one's beliefs, nor is there fault in believing without such evidence. Each person must navigate their own understanding of the world, which need not align with anyone else's. What matters is that individuals find meaning in their beliefs without imposing them on others.

Humanity must evolve to honor and accept all beliefs, even those we may not personally agree with. Acknowledging others' rights to their beliefs is essential, even if we choose to reject them ourselves. Expecting others to abandon their convictions simply because we disagree is unreasonable and can lead to significant societal issues.

Until people recognize that everyone must choose their own beliefs and respect that right, peace, harmony, and equality will remain out of reach. Instead, we will perpetuate conflict, hatred, fear, and persecution, which ultimately harm us all.

What kind of world do you wish to inhabit? One that respects differences or one that persecutes those who diverge from the norm?

We extend our love and light to all.

Chapter 2: Final Reflections

The Angels raise important questions, don’t you agree? If someone chooses to base their beliefs solely on scientifically validated data, that is their prerogative. But why do they feel compelled to attack others who incorporate personal experiences, intuition, faith, or common sense into their understanding?

This behavior mirrors that of religious zealots who impose their beliefs on others under the guise of proof. Wouldn't it be more constructive for everyone to acknowledge the diversity of perspectives and the right of each person to hold their own beliefs? Nothing is infallible, whether in science, faith, intuition, or any other realm.

In my view, science isn’t an absolute measure of truth, at least not for my own understanding. Science is not all-knowing; if it were, there would be nothing left to discover. Similarly, intuition requires discernment, as my friend Marcus has previously highlighted. Faith-based beliefs may resonate with some and not with others, making them subjective as well.

Ultimately, what anyone believes should only need to make sense to them, not to anyone else. This principle applies universally, so we must strive to respect each other's beliefs, provided they do not harm others. Religion, science, and their associated proofs—or lack thereof—should not become sources of contention.

If we all respect the right to choose our own beliefs and honor one another's truths, regardless of agreement, the world would undoubtedly be a better place. Shall we commit to that endeavor together?

Blessings to all.

In this enlightening video, "Belief Without Evidence: William James and The Will to Believe," we explore the philosophical underpinnings of belief systems and the tension between faith and empirical evidence.

The video "Epistemology 1: What counts as evidence? Must all Knowledge be scientific?" delves into the nature of knowledge, the criteria for evidence, and whether scientific validation is necessary for all forms of understanding.
