"I think man is going to have to get our act together and not look to be "saved" too, but there are enlightened ones to help us on our way"
Yes, I agree completely. Perhaps there is an enlightened team of spiritual beings who are working behind the scenes to help humanity move past their 'stuff'. Perhaps this team is well aware that humanity cannot make it through their evolution without working on their own stuff, so they're not promising to do the work for us, rather help us work through our own stuff by our own free will. That's what my personal connection to Archangel Michael is about, he helps me get over my stuff, and keeps me protected in this mucky world.
When I asked the question about the rosary link, I'm hoping for some feedback on what you think of the content of that particular spoken word rosary rather than the purpose of reading a rosary. There are many interesting concepts in this rosary and
i find it has a lot of light. There's nothing about speaking in tongues as far as I know, and I too am no fan of psychobable...
As for the purpose, one of the purposes of it, is that the world is run by free will of us humans. When we invoke a high spiritual being from a place of great truth, we are allowing the infinite to do what it needs to do to help humanity raise itself up without having to go through the many potential birth pains of the new age. It can be a beautiful start to the golden age, if we here are willing to do our part.
Back to the focus of the thread, as for lifting of curses, protection against negative energy, I have found nothing remotely close to as powerful as establishing a relationship with AA Michael, but that's just my experience
