70. Seek betterment not retribution

This card invites you to rise above ordinary human reactions and spread your wings. If it has appeared for you, it may be a sign that you are ready. The Ascended Masters have walked this path before you, but even those with great spiritual wisdom do not always recognise their own mastery. Trust what is within you. See your strength clearly and allow us to guide and support you.

We are amazed by all that you have endured, and we ask you to remember who you truly are. Return to your inner mastery, embody it once again, and trust that you are moving in the right direction. We, too, once lived as human beings on Earth before rising into enlightenment. We faced challenges, experienced loss, moved through darkness, and eventually found our way back to joy and spiritual expansion. Because of this, we understand you.

Across many lifetimes, we have known suffering, love, sacrifice, spiritual growth, and the lessons that come with earthly life. These shared experiences awakened compassion, empathy, and a deep respect for your journey. We encourage you to choose growth now instead of revenge. As you do, know that you are held in our loving embrace. Thank you for allowing us to support and inspire you.

Remember that when you respond to negativity with retaliation, you invite similar energy back into your life. This pattern may continue until you choose a higher response. When difficult moments arise, meet them consciously—with an open heart, compassion, and love.

Power prompts: Love is a source of strength. If you find it difficult to feel love for someone, try imagining them as a helpless child in need of comfort—someone who is hurting, frightened, or unable to heal the pain within. They may lash out and project that pain onto you simply because they have not yet learned a gentler way to cope.

Be the example. Be the teacher. Do not become caught up in another person’s drama or step onto their stage. Instead, take a step back from the situation and send love to both the person and the circumstances surrounding them. By doing this, you remain connected to your personal power and continue your own healing.

What can you release without excusing the harm that was done?

Choose forgiveness as a path to freedom, not as permission for further harm.

Where can compassion coexist with firm, protective boundaries?

Release the desire for revenge and return your energy to healing.

What would become possible if you stopped carrying responsibility for another person’s choices?

Forgive at your own pace, honouring both your pain and your power.

Affirmation: I confer with the Ascended Masters, who fill me with light and strength, helping me feel unburdened. From this place of inner strength, I cleanse my own energy and reclaim my power.
