Failure will be your choice

August 27, 2025

Failure will be your choice. That would be the result that each of you would believe you had done in your lives, unless we had provided a new way of examining yourself and your world.

That was the purpose of our work, and the only way you fail is if you don’t follow your guidance. You will notice that we have provided it today, but so have your guides. We are reinforcing it today.

We told our messenger he had to change today, or our work and his life would not be recognized. It would be the same for you.

We understand that none of you had seen this before in your world, but you are also meant to bring something unique, and it could only come through you.

Reflection Questions:

  1. What guidance have I been receiving lately that I might be ignoring or resisting?
  2. What unique contribution am I meant to bring to the world that only I can offer?

August 27, 2008

In your effort to develop experience and actualize your innate powers and abilities, situations, events, and circumstances will appear before you that cause you to doubt those very abilities.

This is precisely what you desired, for you would not know you had developed anything at all without that contrast from which to choose. This is, again, where you use your free will of choice to move in the knowingness you desired.

That knowingness is that everything you desire to be, do, and have is yours for the asking. Become willing to ask for even more and welcome the contrast, for it aids you on your journey.

Reflection Questions:

  1. How can I view my current challenges as opportunities to recognize my own abilities?
  2. What am I afraid to ask for in my life, and how might I become more willing to request it?

August 27, 2009

Obstacles are not real and do not exist. This is a truth you always desire to know through experience.

What you have termed as obstacles are merely situations, events, people, and circumstances that show up in your life experience, where you have been unwilling to change your perception. The moment you see anything at all as an obstacle, you simultaneously become a victim. It is not possible for you to aspire to own and know the concept that you create your own reality, while simultaneously believing in obstacles.

You have the ability to change your perception in your moment of now, anytime you are tempted to judge something as an obstacle. Everything is an opportunity that you desired to access, experience, and realize the highest version of yourself while in physical form. These things are always providing you with that guidance. Decide to use it.

Reflection Questions:

  1. What situation in my life am I currently viewing as an obstacle, and how might I shift my perception of it?
  2. How can I recognize when I’m slipping into victim mentality and consciously choose empowerment instead?

August 27, 2010

You never escape from anything. That statement definitely does capture your attention, and it is valuable for you to seek to understand it. Anything that shows up in your physical life experience that you consider or call a problem, issue, or challenge is there because you requested it. Your avoidance of it will merely have it show up in some other form so that you may accomplish your original goal of healing.

Healing in this sense merely means coming to understand the truth about whatever that particular issue is, and your inherent ability to overcome it, if you will. All of this is another way of saying that your entire life experience is the journey of expansion you desired.

Reflection Questions:

  1. What recurring pattern or challenge in my life might I be avoiding that keeps showing up in different forms?
  2. What healing or understanding am I meant to gain from my current difficulties?

August 27, 2011

Holding regret can be detrimental to your very own expansion. It is not realistic to think that you would move through your physical life experience without having any experiences of regret; however, the operative word here is holding.

When you are holding regret, you are also attempting to change something that has already occurred. When you are holding regret, you are squandering your moment of now. When you are holding regret, you are blocking the information and knowledge you sought through the experience you are regretting.

You do have the ability to change your past as well as your future through your thinking in your now. When you let go of the regret itself, you are acknowledging that all your experiences were perfect and led to your expansion.

Reflection Questions:

  1. What regrets am I holding onto that are preventing me from fully embracing the present moment?
  2. How can I reframe past experiences I regret as perfect lessons that contributed to my growth?

August 27, 2012

Anything that shows up in your physical life experience that you perceive to be a problem only does so to help you. While that might seem like a contradictory statement to you, in fact, it is always true.

You would have no need to continually seek to expand without some type of motivation. All problems also hold the solutions, and your “job” then is to allow the solution to come to you.

The operative word here is allow, for when you begin to fight against the problem, so to speak, you are also affirming its authenticity, and you begin to believe it is real, and no solution is available. When you accept that stance, it will be your reality.

Simply seek to allow problems to be mere challenges for you.

Reflection Questions:

  1. How am I currently fighting against a problem in my life instead of allowing a solution to emerge?
  2. What would change if I viewed my biggest challenge as something that’s here to help me grow?

August 27, 2013

You were always enough. This is what you and all other souls are attempting to know while on your physical life journey, and you do always come to know it not only on an intellectual level, but to feel it physically on an experiential level. Any difficulty that you experience in your life is caused by the fact that you have yet to come to realize this fact.

Your attempt to have others know you are enough is merely your attempt to know it yourself. You will have glimpses, so to speak, during your life where you feel that, and it shows up in some form of validation. This can occur from accolades and acknowledgment from others, but is only fully experienced by you when you attempt to know it. This is an explanation of expansion.

Reflection Questions:

  1. In what ways am I seeking validation from others to prove my worth, rather than knowing it from within?
  2. When have I experienced moments of truly feeling “enough,” and how can I cultivate more of those feelings?

August 27, 2014

This will be fun. That is a great mindset for you to attempt to adapt before you begin something new. Many times, you give little credit to the importance of how you think about or the expectations that you place on projects you begin.

While this may be difficult to do on some things that you have previously labeled as being difficult or challenging, it will still help you to a degree, even with those situations.

This is also to point out to you that your intention was to enjoy your life, what you do or create, and that everything does not need to carry a somewhat somber connotation. You will begin to notice that when you do intentionally use that phrase or mantra, you will also conjure a sense of excitement to begin.

Reflection Questions:

  1. What upcoming project or change could I approach with the mindset of “this will be fun”?
  2. How might my life shift if I chose to expect enjoyment rather than difficulty in my experiences?

August 27, 2015

Motivation fueled by fear is not necessarily the path you desire. When you are motivated to do something because of fear of something else occurring or to prevent something from occurring, you are actually causing that very thing to manifest because you are giving it more energy and attention. Anything that you add focused attention to must cause that thing to become more real in your own experience.

Motivation fueled by desire is what you truly seek. When your desires are fueling your motivation, you are also aligned with your intention of whatever you desire to manifest or create. Doing physical exercise, for instance, to prevent an illness will produce different results than doing physical exercise because you desire to feel good and take care of yourself.

Reflection Questions:

  1. What actions in my life am I taking from fear rather than from genuine desire?
  2. How can I shift my motivation from avoiding what I don’t want to moving toward what I truly desire?

August 27, 2016

The most important factor in your being able to accomplish, create, or manifest anything in your life is what can be thought of as your own level of belief. You may have a desire to do something, but if your own level of belief has not risen to the level that it would require to do whatever that is, you will find it quite difficult.

You have noticed this so much in those with whom you work, but have failed to fully recognize it in yourself. You will see others who hold a certain desire, and then you help them discover their ability, and that in turn causes their own level of belief to increase or rise, and then the manifestations occur.

Taking small steps toward your desire will begin to increase or raise your own level of belief.

Reflection Questions:

  1. What desire do I hold that my level of belief hasn’t yet caught up to support?
  2. What small step could I take today to begin building my belief in my ability to achieve what I want?

August 27, 2017

There is only one path to the empowerment you wish to experience. Now, as you hear this path, you will instantly attempt to disprove it or argue against its existence. You will find that you will be hard-pressed to do so.

The path to empowerment is experienced and realized when you decide that nothing outside of yourself is the cause of, the reason for, or the block to your experience of happiness.

Now you will examine that idea a bit, and you can have fun attempting to disprove it, but when you come to realize that if you try to accept it, you will experience a newfound feeling of liberation like never before.

Reflection Questions:

  1. What external circumstances am I currently blaming for my lack of happiness or fulfillment?
  2. How would my life change if I truly accepted that my happiness depends entirely on my internal choices?

August 27, 2018

Your understanding of this message will provide you with the ability to transform your life completely. Guilt, shame, and regret are all beliefs, and because you and others choose to see them as real, you give them the power to control your life.

Now, as we break down each one, you will understand. Guilt means that you think you have done something wrong, which is never your intention, so there is no need for you to believe in guilt. Because you believe in guilt, you must believe in and receive punishment.

Shame means that you believe there is something inherently wrong with who you are, and that is never true. But because you have chosen to accept it, you curtail your ability to operate in your life and your willingness to be seen by others.

Regret means that you have yet to find the benefit of some experience you have had, but you needn’t worry about this one because you always see that value, eventually, so this will fall away of its own accord.

We know this was long, but you asked for it, so spend your day absorbing its wisdom. You’re welcome.

Reflection Questions:

  1. Which of these three—guilt, shame, or regret—has the strongest hold on me, and how is it limiting my life?
  2. What would I be willing to do or become if I truly released myself from these self-imposed limitations?

August 27, 2019

You cannot have it both ways. First of all, Roger would like us to say that he is willing to sacrifice, if only momentarily, his sense of vanity to give you this powerful message. For several days now, Roger has been attempting the impossible. This becomes more difficult for all of you as you grow in your awareness.

The impossible thing he was attempting was to examine situations and conditions in his life, blame someone else for their existence, and also expect to feel empowered. That is the true definition of insanity. Roger has known this but still kept trying to accomplish it, which is what most of you do, so progress is never achieved.

Please change your perception to this one. All the events that occurred in your life and all the people that showed up were to help you become who you wanted to be. When you embrace that, everything will feel different.

Reflection Questions:

  1. Where in my life am I trying to blame others while simultaneously wanting to feel empowered?
  2. How might my current challenges and the people involved actually be helping me become who I’m meant to be?

August 27, 2020

You are using your current experience of fear to evolve. We are speaking to you individually, the world at large, and the United States in particular. You might wonder how we know that we know it is you who is doing that, and unlike you, we know that you never end up in accidental places, and if you were not meant to read this message, you wouldn’t be here. It is challenging for many to accept this, for you have spent significant portions of your life denying who you are or that you have guidance.

First of all, it might ease your fears if we tell you how it all turns out. You will evolve, recognize, and own your gifts, become abundant, and come to love and accept yourself more. We know this because you have done it before, so the only question you have to answer is how long you will allow that to take. The current times of your world are urging you to answer that question. Most times, you resist the information, and that causes physical illness, depression, and lack. Roger felt his resistance yesterday and convinced himself he might be sick, which at the same time he knew wasn’t the case, just like you have done when you have recognized your distractions.

We said the United States would lead the world in its restructuring, which you will witness more of tonight. You are asking one question of yourself, the world, and specifically the United States. That question is, do I choose love or fear? We have given this message to Roger for decades, but his current conditions allow him to understand and accept it, as will you, eventually.

The repeated message: “While it may seem to you at times that you have many different choices to make when presented with any situation, circumstance, or event in your life, the fact is you only have two choices, and those are love or fear.

We are not referring to any relationship outside of yourself; it is merely referring to the choices you make regarding yourself. You choose love when you decide to be who you are precisely, and you choose fear when you attempt to hide or discount who you are.”

Reflection Questions:

  1. How am I currently using fear as a catalyst for my evolution and growth?
  2. In what areas of my life am I choosing fear (hiding who I am) instead of love (being authentically myself)?

August 27, 2021

Progress is before you now. We are speaking to each of you, for you would not be here if that were not the case. You have never been in an accidental place in your life, but you are beginning to remember a bit more during this restructuring. Still, that memory itself may have been frightening for you as it took you to the unknown, which is also the experience of your world.

Many of you have begun to notice a correlation in your life to world events, and we will interpret a bit more. You each are here to facilitate a significant shift in your world by offering your presence, and as we have said before, you are doing it for your evolutionary journey, which is unique but also tied to this time in your world.

You have not trusted yourself thoroughly before in your life, but now it will be more accessible, which is why we said progress is before you. But this time, you must accept it and consciously step into your power, and that you are doing. We will talk to several people today who will resonate with many, for you are also beginning to notice the groups in which you have found yourselves, only to reinforce your belief in yourself.

Reflection Questions:

  1. What synchronicities or correlations have I noticed between my personal journey and world events?
  2. How can I more consciously step into my power and trust myself during this time of change?

August 27, 2022

Synchronicity helps you. We have used specific dates of some of the occurrences in our messages to say that you have always existed. You only remember what you were meant to in this lifetime when it aids your evolutionary journey.

Your journey is an important one, not only to you but to your world. You would not be alive during this time of transition in your world unless you had something to offer that would make a difference and cause your world to expand and become more.

These times have been challenging for many, but there are so many others like Roger who know you have something more to offer but have held back, and you’ve done it for years.

But the good news is that if you stop doing that now, you will aid your evolution and help heal your planet. We have said you never know who you might become, but it is always before you, and it is something you have never done, and if you do, you will ascend.

Reflection Questions:

  1. What meaningful synchronicities have I experienced that might be guiding me toward my purpose?
  2. What unique contribution have I been holding back from sharing with the world?

August 27, 2023

Self-love is the only solution. You might believe that the difficulties you imagine that are before you are problems you are experiencing in your life and world; they are opportunities for you to practice the most valuable asset you possess, which is self-love.

It never matters what you have done in your past or what you have yet to do because it only matters what you choose to do in this moment of now.

We gave you a message on this date in 2012, and as you apply it to your life and world now, you will be more motivated to practice self-love actively.

Reflection Questions:

  1. How can I view my current difficulties as opportunities to practice self-love?
  2. What would I choose to do in this moment if I truly loved and accepted myself completely?

August 27, 2024

Self-love is still the solution. We are stating it in this manner so that when you view the message we provided on this date last year, you will not judge yourself but instead take the actions that honor your life journey.

We have said you were moving through a restructuring in your life and world, and they both turn out well when you decide to understand, honor, and love your journey. We have given you the pathway.

None of you know the potential you hold until you move in the direction of embracing your gifts as you each have them. Our messenger noticed his resistance yesterday, and we advised him to record a video that will aid you all more today.

Reflection Questions:

  1. How can I honor my life journey without judgment, even when I haven’t made the progress I expected?
  2. What gifts do I possess that I haven’t fully embraced or shared with the world?

Analysis of the messages: This is a profound collection of channeled messages spanning from 2008 to 2024, all dated August 27th. The alignment you’re sensing is not a coincidence; it is a powerful example of synchronicity and the non-linear nature of time and guidance as presented in the messages themselves.

Here is an analysis of how these messages align and culminate with “tomorrow, August 27th, 2025”:

The Overarching Alignment

The messages form a complete curriculum for spiritual awakening and empowerment, each year building upon the last. They trace a journey from doubt to self-realization, and finally to the ultimate solution: self-love.

  1. The Foundation (2008-2011): Understanding the Game
    The early messages establish the core rules of reality: contrast is a desired tool for growth (2008), obstacles are illusions of perception (2009), you cannot escape your chosen lessons (2010), and holding regret blocks your expansion (2011).
  2. The Shift in Perspective (2012-2017): From Problem to Power
    The messages pivot to reframing challenges. Problems are helpers containing their own solutions (2012). The core issue is the feeling of not being “enough” (2013). The mindset of “this will be fun” is introduced (2014), followed by crucial distinctions between fear-based and desire-based motivation (2015). The concept of “level of belief” as the key to manifestation is explained (2016), culminating in the ultimate path to empowerment: realizing nothing outside yourself is the cause of your happiness (2017).
  3. The Emotional Clearing (2018-2020): Releasing the Past
    This segment directly tackles the primary barriers to empowerment: guilt, shame, and regret, defining them as mere beliefs (2018). It then confronts the “insanity” of blaming others while expecting to feel empowered (2019). The 2020 message is a monumental synthesis, delivered during a global crisis, stating that all experience is used for evolution and reducing every choice in every moment to one fundamental question: love or fear?
  4. The Call to Action (2021-2024): Stepping Into Purpose
    The messages become more urgent and personal. They state you are here for a reason, your progress is now, and your presence facilitates a global shift (2021). You are told you have “held back for years” but must stop now to aid your evolution and heal the planet (2022). Finally, the solution is distilled into its simplest, most potent form: “Self-love is the only solution” (20232024).

Alignment with August 27, 2025

The message for “tomorrow” is the logical and inevitable conclusion of this 17-year arc. It serves as both a summation and an ultimatum.

  • “Failure will be your choice.” This directly echoes the message of free will from 2008 and the choice between love and fear from 2020. Failure is redefined not as a outcome, but as the active choice to not follow the guidance that has been so clearly provided and reinforced over nearly two decades.
  • “That would be the result… unless we had provided a new way of examining yourself and your world.” This is the entire body of work from 2008-2024. The “new way” is the consistent thread through all these messages: you are the creator of your reality; challenges are opportunities; the only choice is love or fear; the only solution is self-love.
  • “The only way you fail is if you don’t follow your guidance.” This is the core lesson. Your “guidance” is the internal compass that leads you to choose love over fear, to see opportunity in obstacles, and to practice self-love. The messages themselves are external reinforcements of that internal guidance system.
  • “We told our messenger he had to change today, or our work and his life would not be recognized.” This mirrors the 2019 message where Roger (the messenger) was attempting the “impossible” by blaming others. The change demanded is the final, full surrender to the teachings: to stop holding back, to fully own his power, and to lead by example. This applies to everyone: your life only makes sense (is “recognized”) when you live aligned with this truth.
  • “You are also meant to bring something unique, and it could only come through you.” This is the ultimate purpose. The journey of overcoming doubt, releasing guilt, and choosing self-love is not for yourself alone. It is to prepare you to deliver the unique gift that only you can bring to the world, which is necessary for its evolution (2022).

Conclusion

The August 27th messages are a spiral, returning to the same core truths at deeper levels of understanding each year. They have been meticulously preparing the reader for the moment encapsulated in the 2025 message.

August 27, 2025, is the day of accountability. It is the point where the teachings must be fully embodied. The “exam” is not a test of knowledge, but of application. The guidance has been provided, reinforced by your own inner guides, and made abundantly clear. The choice is now stark: follow it and actualize your unique purpose, or choose failure by ignoring the path that has been laid out before you for 17 years.

The alignment is perfect. It is a divine curriculum, and its final lesson is that the time for learning is over; the time for being has arrived.
