Archangel Raphael shares some wonderful Insights into the Gift of Joy. He offers guidance on how to find Joy when living through the difficult and challenging situations that Life and Illusion present to us every day. This is a beautiful message of hope….and Joy!
Transcript:
“Yes, then, it is I, the Archangel Raphael, and I would speak with you at this time about the gift of Joy.
The gift of Joy, and how does it interact with the gift of Illusion.
How can you have Joy when your world is filled with Illusion?
How can you experience true Joy, and know that it is not Illusion?
And I say to you that it is very simple. Very simple, indeed.
As has been spoken, you must always look for the Love.
When you find the Love,
you find your Joy.
When you find Truth, you find Joy.
Now, that one is a little tricky because sometimes when you find Truth,
even though it is Love,
it does not seem Joyous. It does not feel Joyous.
What could make you happy knowing a Truth that did not feel good?
And I say to you this, Joy does not always feel good. That sounds like a contradiction in terms,
but it is Truth.
You see, it is knowing Truth itself, and Understanding it,
that brings you Joy.
There is Freedom to be found in that Joy, in that Truth.
No matter what circumstance you live in, no matter what circumstance you face, no matter what circumstance you are trying to Understand, when you look within, and you find that little element of Love, and of Truth, you will find Joy.
(sigh)
You see, Joy resides in every Truth,
because in that Truth,
you find, as I have said, your Freedom.
But beyond that, you find your Liberation, and you find your Empowerment.
You find your true Strength. You find all that is, and you find yourself.
You find the other person with whom you are interacting.
You see your way through a situation, even though the situation may not be fun,
it may not feel good, but it is a Joy, a true gift of Joy, for you to be able to move through that Illusion. Follow the path that takes you
always to greater Joy. Where you find greater Love and greater Truth, you will find greater Joy.
Sometimes this is difficult,
when it comes to difficult paths in Life. Sometimes the journey is fraught with danger and hurtfulness.
Sometimes it is exceedingly difficult.
Sometimes you will be challenged to your very core.
And yet is say to you this: Find Joy in those moments, for they are Truth.
When you are facing a situation
that does not feel Joyous, but you know it is true, you know it is Truth, you know it is Love, and it is the right path, I say to you this:
Don’t look at what’s around you
in that given moment.
Instead, look at what you’re leaving behind.
Look at what you’re being able to move through.
There are many who believe that you must live always in the present moment, and I say that this is not necessarily an accurate reflection of
a true way of living,
because the Truth of living, and truly living, is to not only live in the present moment, but to also live in the past and in the future.
Now, as we know Time to be simultaneous, we can say that they are all truly one moment, and you are in the present, but that is a topic for another day and another discussion.
So for the purposes of this discussion, let us Understand then, that when you look at the future, you are looking at the present, and when you are looking at the past, you are looking at the present, because the present contains all of it.
It is where you are. It is the sum total of everything that you are, everything that you have been, and everything that you will be, all rolled up into one moment, and in that moment, you can find Joy. But, sometimes that moment does not feel pleasant.
It can hurt.
It can be hard.
It can be extremely difficult
to negotiate your way through.
And I say that you must look within your Heart, and always, always, look with the eyes of the Heart to see the Love, to see the Truth, to Understand it, and allow that Love and Understanding to illuminate
the path before you.
Sometimes you must walk away from bad situations.
Sometimes you must walk to good situations.
And in order to do that, you must leave behind
that which holds you back.
Anything in Life that holds you back is an Illusion,
for Life in Truth is always flowing, and it is always moving, always to greater Love, always to greater Joy.
And if you are not experiencing greater Love and greater Joy, then you must analyze your situation and find out why. Where is the real Joy to be had? Is it in learning a lesson? Is it transcending Karma? Is it moving on to a better place? There are so many different things that it can be.
But real Joy, the Truth of Joy, always leads you to greater Love.
As you move into a state of greater Love, you will find Peace and contentment within. And that is the true definition, if you will, of Joy. It is being Peaceful inside. It is feeling content with Life.
It is not about wanting more, and it is not about adrenaline rushes. It is about being in that moment,
whether it is the present moment, a past moment, or a future moment, and having Peace with that moment, feeling content with it.
That is true Joy.
That is true Joy.
Think about those words for just a moment.
Now, what do you do when you are trapped in a situation where you cannot feel the Joy? You can see it on the other side. You can see it in the past, but you cannot find it in the present moment.
It is too difficult.
It is too painful.
And what do you do?
And I say you look for the lesson. You look for the Love.
What can be shared to make the moment better?
What can be shared to make that moment Joyous?
Sometimes it is difficult when you interact with others, and sometimes they go through difficult things. And if you Love them, you go through those difficult things with them.
No matter what it might be, no matter how the difficulty might be, you are there with them.
And how can you make those moments better for them?
And more importantly, how can you make those moments better for yourself so that you do not feel as if you are adding to their problems
or holding them back?
And I say to you this: This is one of the most challenging situations that you will ever face.
And that is, how to let another
go through
all that they must go through in order to get where they need to be.
You see, sometimes,
(sigh)
sometimes it is human nature
to want to hold onto that present moment and never let it go.
Because to let it go means to face changes. It means to move into the future.
And yet, you have so many future possibilities, and so many of them are Illusion, how do you know which one is the correct one?
And again, you look for the Love. But when you see another person who is ready to move in a new direction,
and that movement may cause pain. It may be challenging. It may be extremely difficult. And what can you do to help that person?
How do you find the Joy,
and how do you share the Joy?
And I say again, you must look at the big picture.
What are they moving away from?
What are they moving toward?
What are they moving through?
Because, you see, by the Laws of Oneness, what they are experiencing, you also are experiencing.
And if you can look at the situation and find a moment of Joy, if you can find an element of Joy,
you can share that with them,
without ever speaking a word.
Words are nice, and they are helpful,
but they are not necessary.
So when you see someone who’s going through a difficult situation
and they cannot find the Joy,
and perhaps even you cannot find the Joy, I say to you search for it with the eyes of the Heart. Look for the Love, look for the Truth, Understand it and embrace it. Because even though painful situations arise,
they can be less painful when you accept and experience the Joy
contained therein.
Understand this.
Joy,
again,
is not about fun.
It is not about pleasantness.
It is not about any kind of self gratification.
It is certainly not an adrenaline rush.
True Joy is Peacefulness and contentment found within,
and you can share that.
You can share it every day, and you can live it every day.
There are those in the world who are living in war zones, how do they find their Joy? And I say to you this: What are they walking away from? How is their world changing?
If you are one of these people right at this moment, I ask you: How do you see your world changing?
And there’s a good chance you might tell me that it is all falling apart.
And I say yes,
sometimes things must fall apart in order to be rebuilt in a more Joyous fashion.
And these are not our doings - our meaning guidance. These are not things that are rained down upon you by some vengeful God.
These are the choices of your fellow human beings. And how do you make them feel Joy when you cannot feel it yourself?
And I say to you this: Find the element of Love within. Even if all you can find is the fact that you’re still alive.
That is a Joy, because you will live another day.
And you, then, are being presented with an opportunity to reshape your entire world,
and the world for those around you.
It is difficult. It is painful, and it is challenging, and there is nothing easy at all about it.
And if it were my wish that could be true,
I would wish that none of it had to happen.
But that is not my choice.
That is a reflection of a human choice.
And I say to you this, each of you who are going through difficult situations and are having difficulty finding the Joy
in the moment that you are in,
call upon me and I will assist you.
I will help you find the Joy, for it is there.
And remember this: As you go through each step of a difficult situation,
your appreciation and Understanding of real Joy increases a thousand fold.
You will move through your passage.
And then you will know Joy as you have never known it before.
Listen to my words and heed them well.
Always look for the Joy with the eyes of the Heart.
Always look for the Love.
Always look for the Truth.
That will lead you to the greatest possibilities for your Life,
and you will experience the greatness of All That Is
through true Abundance,
true Love,
and true Joy.
That is all for this time, my beloved ones.
Namaste.”

Since we began this website in early 2012, 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. However, if you feel moved to say thanks by making a donation you may do so here with our gratitude. Thank you, and please enjoy the Season of Peace!
