This year's Season of Peace celebration marks the fifth year we have shared the messages of the Archangels here. We have been asked a number of times if we would consider accepting donations as a way of saying thanks. We do share these messages freely with all the world as our gift to you from the Foundation and from Guidance. A simple thanks is enough for us. However, if you feel moved to make a donation to express your appreciation, you may do so here. Thank you, and please enjoy the Season of Peace!
Archangel Raphael on the Gift of Joy
Channeled by Muriel Amore
Channeled by Muriel Amore
We have a beautiful message here from Archangel Raphael speaking on the Gift of Joy. What is Joy? How do you know you are experiencing the Truth of Joy, rather than the Illusion of it? Raphael discusses a number of aspects of real Joy, versus the Illusion of it, and teaches us how Forgiveness and Peace are connected with our Joys in Life. He also speaks of how to deal with those who find pleasure - not Joy - in causing harm to others. This is a very enlightening message.
Transcript:
“Yes, then, it is I, the Archangel Raphael, and I would speak to you at this time of the gift of Joy, especially as the gift of Joy pertains to Peace for this is the Season of Peace celebration that we are discussing here. And, messages are being shared to help you as you seek to find you way into a Life of greater Peace. And, so I say to you, consider Joy for a moment and how it fits with the concept of Peace.
And, I say to you this: There are many aspects of Joy that are grossly misunderstood. There are many aspects of Joy which are grossly misrepresented in your world. In many ways, Joy has been adulterated to the point where it is a reflection simply of the pleasures of the senses, be they sound, taste, touch, smell, and so on. And, I say to you that true Joy is none of these, and yet it embraces all of these. But, true Joy
is felt with the Heart.
True Joy is a feeling. It is not a sensory experience. It is something that comes from within you. It is something that only comes from your Truth. True Joy is grossly overstated as it is truly, in its greatest sense, very subtle. It comes in the form of happiness. It comes in the form of contentment.
When you feel content that is Joy.
And yet, Joy sometimes can give you an enormous rush
through your blood,
take your breath away,
make you gasp,
and giggle with delight.
This is also Joy.
But, Joy without contentment, Joy with satisfaction, is not true Joy. And, there is much, much, much of this in your world, and it is an Illusion.
What is the Illusion of Joy?
Hmmmmm. That is a difficult one to call, because Joy is such a broad spectrum of experience for so many different people that it is hard to say what the Illusion of it is. But, I can tell you this: The way you can tell whether you are experiencing true Joy or not is by measuring it against your sense of satisfaction, contentment, the Peace you feel inside.
When you are experiencing Joy, does it leave you feeling Peaceful inside?
And if it does,
then perhaps you have truly experienced Joy.
You are all at a time
in humanity, in the world, and in your own lives, where changes are running rampant. And, they are in front of you at every hour of the day and every turn you take.
This is a time of great change and great challenge, and there are challenges in making the changes. And so many of you feel perhaps overwhelmed and lost at times. Which way do I turn? Which choice do I make? And, it is hard to know. And, I tell you this: Follow the path of Joy,
and you will be following the path of Love.
And, if you follow the path of Joy and Love, you are also following the path of Peace.
When you make a decision, when you are faced with a change and you make a decision,
you make a choice,
you must make a choice which leaves you feeling content.
The one which leaves you feeling satisfied, as if you don't need to think about it anymore. You don't need to research it, investigate it, analyze it and so on.
You simply
need
to feel
at Peace with it.
And, you do.
And, when you feel that sense of Peace inside, then you know that you have made the correct choice.
Now, your world is also at a crossroads where you are either going to choose to live in Peace or you are going to choose to not. And, your world is becoming greatly segregated.
What is going to bring Joy to each side? You are going to see great separation in that as well, and you will have to look at Truth.
Illusion versus Illumination.
You see, there will be some who will take pleasure – and I do not say Joy, I say pleasure-
they will take pleasure
in causing harm to others.
And, this is a false Joy, you might say. It is not real, for deep within them, they know
that they have done wrong.
They know that to cause harm to another is wrong.
But, you must also Understand, people are so twisted and hurt in their Hearts
that sometimes they cannot recognize the Truth. And, therein lies the Joy of Forgiveness. And, I realize that in a world filled with violence, and hardship, and Heartache, speaking of Forgiveness
is perhaps not welcome, nor highly thought of.
But, I say to you this: If you would experience your greatest Joys in Life, if you would experience Joy in the scope of Peace, if you would experience Peace itself, and Love as well, you must Forgive.
You must let go.
You must stop the cycle of hurt and harm and violence somewhere.
And, if you do not stop it,
then how will it ever stop?
How will it ever stop
if someone does not begin it?
And, that someone can be you.
And, that someone should be you.
It should be all of you,
because the more of you that ask for Forgiveness and give Forgiveness
the greater Forgiveness reigns in the world.
And, Forgiveness is a very powerful tool of Love.
It is very powerful.
You must Understand that your Joy is not only a personal thing. It is not only a family thing. It's not just something shared between friends, and co-workers, and neighbors, and members of a community, or a state, or a nation, or so on. Joy, as has been spoken, travels through the nervous system. And, it connects with each and every one of you.
And, so you see, when you have someone who is so hurt inside that their idea of pleasure, which they think is Joy – wrongfully,
is to cause harm to another,
when they are so twisted inside,
they are deeply hurting.
And, they want Forgiveness at another level.
At another level, they want to give Forgiveness.
And, so you can lift the burdens from their Hearts and help them see the Truth of Joy if you will Forgive them.
Send Forgiveness. You have the power by Oneness to do this – the Laws of Oneness.
Send Forgiveness.
“I Forgive you. I ask you to Forgive me.”
You must also Understand that you have lived many lifetimes, each and every one of you. And, what has been done to you in other lifetimes,
you have done in your own.
No one is perfect. No one is without blame. Everyone needs Forgiveness, and everyone needs to give Forgiveness. That is a beauty of Love, especially unconditional Love. And, when you think of unconditional, you should also think of unconditional Forgiveness.
And, so, if you wish to experience your greatest Joy in Life, you must begin by finding your own Truth and finding your own Peace. Find that sense of satisfaction and contentment.
But, I say to you: If you wish to find Joy in a world, in your world, take the next step. Go a little farther.
Share Forgiveness.
You might be surprised at the wonders it makes in your own Life,
for Forgiveness can truly work miracles.
But, if you wish to see miracles throughout your world, miracles of Peace, of Love, of Joy – everlasting Joy, then I say to you this:
Forgive
and Love
without condition.
Find your Joy without condition.
And, do not be caught up in the flashing lights and neon signs that say, “Love is excitement”, for it is not. Joy is not excitement, neither is Truth or Peace, and so on.
Once you find the Illumination of your own Joy, and you Understand what it is that causes it, you will find it is the simple things in Life.
It is the touch of a child's hand on your cheek.
The kiss and 'I Love you' before bed.
It is watching the bird sit upon the branch and sing its beautiful song.
It is many things.
Dewdrops in the morning. Raindrops in the evening. A snowflake here or there.
Perhaps it is a wind that whispers someone's name in your ear and in your Heart.
And, perhaps, it is the simple sound of the voice of someone you Love
and whom Loves you.
These are the little things that really matter in Life.
These are the things that stay with you forever, for you never forget them.
They are always there. You may not remember a name. You may not remember a face, but you will remember the feelings –
the feelings of Love.
So, foster those feelings within yourself, and you will find your Joy.
Foster those feelings in others and help them find their Joys. Because the more Joy is felt, the more it is shared. And, the more it is shared the greater it grows. And, if you wish to experience the Truth of Joy in your Life, then I say to you:
Share it. Find it.
Share the Illumination of it.
Find it again – in Truth.
Find it in Love.
Find it in everything you do and share it. Share it. Share it.
Always, always share your Joy.
These are difficult times for many. And, I wish that I could wave a magic wand over your heads and make you all feel nothing but Joy. But, you must come to Understand that Joy is a process of evolution. It truly is a process of evolution.
And, the more you let go, and the more you learn yourself,
the more you learn your own Truth, your own identity, your own Purpose,
(sigh)
the more you will find your own Joy – the Truth of your Joy, the Illumination of it. And, as you better Understand your own Joy and what makes you feel Joy and happiness and contentment, and so on, then you will know how to bring more of it into your Life. And you will know how to share it and help others find their own Joy.
And so, at this time of year, when many of you are celebrating holidays of one kind or another – even those of you who are celebrating the Season of Peace, I say to you:
Find the Joy within.
Light your spark.
Shine your Illumination.
Share it with others, and help them find their Joy.
I will be with you always, and any time you need assistance with finding your Joy, you may call upon me.
Thank you for listening to my words.
That is all for now, my beloved children.
That is all.”
And, I say to you this: There are many aspects of Joy that are grossly misunderstood. There are many aspects of Joy which are grossly misrepresented in your world.

What is the Illusion of Joy?
Hmmmmm. That is a difficult one to call, because Joy is such a broad spectrum of experience for so many different people that it is hard to say what the Illusion of it is. But, I can tell you this: The way you can tell whether you are experiencing true Joy or not is by measuring it against your sense of satisfaction, contentment, the Peace you feel inside.
