Welcome to a World Beyond Our Imagining | Steve Beckow

(Golden Age of Gaia)

Michael Barrington’s account of his vision of Jesus (1) has greatly inspired me, because it’s the fourth possible incidence of a fourth-chakra enlightenment that I know of. (2)  Fourth-chakra experiences can obviously vary, as I’ll get to in a moment, and Michael has said we should have more than one fourth-chakra experience in any one lifetime:

Steve: Was the sight of the Self at the Xenia retreat a fourth-chakra event?

Archangel Michael: Yes, it was.

Steve: So it’s possible to have two fourth-chakra events or maybe even more possibly?

AAM: It is possible to have multiple chakra events throughout your lifetimes, sweet one. Again, what you are thinking of is a limitation. Something is activated or not activated. Think in terms of open, open, open, open, bigger, bigger, bigger. So yes, you might have several events. You should have several events! (3)

Michael Barrington had a vision experience. He saw his chosen ideal, Jesus. I also had a vision but what I saw was like a spiritual movie of the journey of an individual soul from God to God.

Originally I said this was not an experience of enlightenment, but, given that I was deeply in bliss during the experience and slightly-less-deeply in it for three days afterwards, I cannot see how it could be otherwise than a fourth-chakra primary stage of enlightenment.

Why am I mentioning this and why am I focusing on it? Because the Ring of Fire, when it hits, will be a planetary experience of a fourth-chakra heart opening.  So Michael’s description of mine or someone else’s will be germane to our understanding of what happens to us.

Now, as it turns out, I had two more fourth-chakra experiences – the heart opening itself on March 13, 2025 and the vision of the Self at Xenia Retreat Center, Sept. 18, 2018.  (4)

The vision of the Self was a third kind of vision – not the vision of my chosen ideal (Archangel Michael), not a journey depicted, but the Self that we all are.

I s*****t there are an infinite number of other varieties of the experience.  What the Divine Mother said about love may turn out to be true for fourth-level spiritual experiences:

Divine Mother: Love … can have an infinite, literally infinite number of expressions. (5)

So these are sources to be read or consulted after the Ring of Fire, Wave of Love to know what has just happened to us. We’ve had a heart opening and the tsunami of love which has just washed us clean is an interdimensional experience.

Welcome to a world beyond our imagining.
