Walnut Creek

Present: JH and JH, ET, CS, SC and RC, AH and RH and CH, SM, LO, NA.

JH: I spent the weekend with friends, A and S, and I want to know about previous ribbons with A.

THIS MAN HAS NOT BEEN WITH YOU BEFORE. THE LADY HAS, THOUGH. THIS MAN SEES THIS AS A SURE AND CERTAIN ROAD TO MATERIAL HAPPINESS AND ACHIEVEMENT IN YOUR CASE. WE WOULD TEND TO AGREE WITH THE HAPPINESS.

JH: Would going into my own business be lucrative?

THAT WOULD DEPEND UPON YOUR WILLINGNESS TO EXPEND THE NECESSARY VITALITY.

JH: What is my relationship to SM and J?

ONLY THAT YOU HAVE BEEN SOLDIERS TOGETHER.

RH: Regarding Sequences, do souls differ in Sequences? How many are there? Are all of us in this group part of my Sequence?

SEQUENCES OF COURSE VARY A GREAT DEAL FROM LIFE TO LIFE. USUALLY THOSE IN A SEQUENCE WITH YOU WILL MAKE A FAR GREATER IMPRESSION UPON YOUR MEMORY THAN JUST ORDINARY ACQUAINTANCES. THEN TOO, IN SOME WAY THERE WILL BE INFLUENCES WITHIN THE RELATIONSHIP. OFTEN A FAVORITE TEACHER HAS BEEN IN A SEQUENCE WITH YOU, OR A PARTICULARLY CLOSE ADOLESCENT CHUM WITH WHOM YOU LATER LOSE TRACK. SEQUENCES CAN BE BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE OR CAN BE LARGE ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE A GROUP THIS LARGE. THIS GROUP IS NOT JUST ONE SEQUENCE THOUGH. THERE ARE AT LEAST FIVE SEQUENCES HERE.

What establishes a Sequence?

SOULS AGREE WHILE STILL ON THE ASTRAL PLANE TO EXPERIENCE CERTAIN SEGMENTS OF LIFE, AND ALSO MAY CHOOSE AT THAT TIME TO EXPERIENCE IT WITH OTHER FRAGMENTS OF THE SAME ENTITY OR CLOSE ENTITIES, PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE EASE WITH WHICH SUCH EXPERIENCES CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED.

ET: What are “close” Entities?

ENTITIES CAST AT THE SAME TIME, OR FRAGMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN TOGETHER MANY [life]TIMES BEFORE.

RH: Do Sequences involve just Fragments or entire Entities?

IT CAN INVOLVE BOTH YOUR OWN ENTITY AND FRAGMENTS OF ANOTHER ENTITY THAT HAS THE SAME OR SIMILAR NEEDS. FOR EXAMPLE, R.C., S.C. AND V.H. ALL HAVE DIFFERENT SEQUENCES WHICH CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY THE SAME ROUTE. C.H. AND S.C. ARE ALSO WITHIN A SAME SEQUENCE.

RH: During the astral interval do we associate with the same Entity?

[You] USUALLY [associate] WITH THE FRAGMENTS OF YOUR OWN ENTITY AND THOSE CLOSE TO YOUR OWN ENTITY. USUALLY THERE IS A PERIOD OF TRANSITION FROM THE PHYSICAL TO THE ASTRAL LIFE, AND THIS VARIES FROM SOUL TO SOUL. THIS SOMETIMES RESULTS IN SOME FRAGMENTS NOT BEING REUNITED WITH THEIR ENTITY UNTIL MUCH LATER. FOR EXAMPLE, NOT ALL OF YOUR FRAGMENTS ARE NOW ON THE PHYSICAL PLANE. MANY WILL NOT BECOME PHYSICAL ENTITIES FOR ANOTHER CENTURY.

LO: SM and I are sisters now. Are we sequencing?

THIS [siblinghood] DOES NOT NORMALLY MAKE A SEQUENCE.

CH: So what does make a Sequence?

AGREEMENT TO PLAY OUT A CERTAIN FRAGMENT OF LIFE. FOR INSTANCE, WE HAVE TOLD YOU BEFORE THAT NOT ALL PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN ARE PLAYING OUT THE PARENT-CHILD MONAD. THIS MONAD RESULTS IN A FAR MORE COMPLEX RELATIONSHIP THAN JUST THE ORDINARY ONE. SIBLINGS ARE TAUGHT BY THIS CULTURE THAT THEY MUST FEEL SOMETHING FOR EACH OTHER, AND ARE ENCOURAGED TO EVEN FALSIFY SUCH CONDITIONS. THIS IS NOT ALWAYS TRUE. RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN THE TYPICAL NUCLEAR FAMILY ARE RARELY HONEST BECAUSE OF THIS.

RH: Perhaps honest disliking carries over onto the astral plane, because on the astral plane the facade is all gone.

There was a discussion about why we can’t pay karmic debts on the astral plane.

YOU MAY THINK OF IT AS AN ENORMOUS THEATER WITH CONTINUOUS PERFORMANCES, IF YOU WISH. THE ANALOGY IS A GOOD ONE, FOR THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT HAPPENS. ON THE ASTRAL PLANE THE ACTORS AGREE TO PERFORM CERTAIN ROLES, ONLY THEY ARE CAST LOOSE ON A BOOBY-TRAPPED STAGE, SO TO SPEAK [where unplanned things can happen] — IT MAKES FOR LIVELIER ACTION, MORE EXPERIENCES THAT WAY. THE BIRTH TRAUMA MOST OF THE TIME TAKES CARE OF [erases] A GREAT DEAL OF THE MEMORIES [of prior lives and astral plans]. IT ALSO PLANTS THE SEEDS OF AGGRESSIVENESS AND THE WILL TO SURVIVE [which are absent on the astral plane].

RH: Tomas said you could substitute astral for earth experiences.

THIS CAN BE DONE BUT IT TAKES MUCH LONGER.

LO: Is hypnosis a good step.

NO. WE WOULD SAY THAT IT IS AN EXCELLENT STEP.

ET: Why is there a difference in some statements by Michael?

ONE OF THE MOST OBVIOUS REASONS FOR THE QUALITATIVE DIFFERENCES THAT YOU FEEL IS THAT AT THIS MOMENT THIS ENTITY IS DEALING WITH FAR MORE THAN YOUR GROUP, AND ALTHOUGH THIS IS A REUNITED ENTITY, ONLY A SEGMENT OF IT MONITORS YOUR LITTLE GROUP AT ANY ONE TIME. THERE WERE WARRIORS AND KINGS IN THIS ENTITY. THE HANDLING SOMETIMES IS VERY DIFFERENT AS WOULD BE AN ENTITY CONTAINING THE REUNITED FRAGMENTS OF SAY PRIESTS AND SAGES. ANOTHER REASON IS AS YOU SAY: SOME OF THE QUESTIONS ASKED WILL BE BETTER ANSWERED AT A LATER TIME.

ET: What other groups or responsibilities are you monitoring?

THIS ENTITY ALSO HAS STUDENTS [on other planets] WITHIN THIS SECTOR OF THE GALAXY. OF COURSE, WE ARE AVAILABLE TO THE ASTRAL ENTITIES ALSO, AND THESE TRANSCEND PHYSICAL [plane] TIME AND SPACE.

What other parts of the galaxy do you have students in?

PRIMARILY IN THIS SECTOR.

ET: Is there any evolution going on in Michael that we could notice?

THERE SHOULD BE SOME PERCEPTIBLE DIFFERENCES WITHIN THE NEXT DECADE — AT LEAST WE HOPE SO.

RH: Are my [marijuana] plants stoned?

NO MORE SO THAN RATTLESNAKES ARE PERPETUALLY TOXIC [to themselves].

RH: [This psychotropic] plant brings the ability to take physical [consciousness] to the astral plane.

WHAT IT DOES IS TO NUMB THE PERSONALITY.

RH: I have a question regarding the speeding up of spiritual growth.

WE WOULD BE INCLINED TO AGREE THAT THE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS, WHEN IT COMES, WILL BE LIKE AN EXPLOSION WHEN COMPARED TO THE SNAIL’S PACE YOU ARE NOW EXPERIENCING. THERE IS SOME VALIDITY IN THE STATEMENT THAT THE PERSONALITY AND ESSENCE MUST EVENTUALLY “BATTLE IT OUT”, AT LEAST IF PROGRESS IS TO BE MADE ON THE PHYSICAL PLANE, AND THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN ENTITIES [psychotropic drugs] THAT KNOCK PERSONALITY OUT OF THE BOX ARE USED; BUT THOSE CRUTCHES DO A VALUABLE SERVICE IN THAT THEY ALLOW YOU TO GLIMPSE THE GOAL AND MAKE AN INTELLIGENT DECISION ABOUT ITS WORTHINESS AS A FULL-TIME PURSUIT [by means other than drugs].

BL: What is my Life Task?

AS WITH MOST PRIESTS, IT IS PRIMARILY MISSIONARY IN NATURE, AND WILL INVOLVE YOUR OWN ABILITY TO PROJECT THE TEACHING FROM YOUR OWN CENTER OF SERENITY TO THE MOST UNLIKELY GROUP OF STUDENTS. ALSO, IN THIS LIFETIME YOU HAVE AGREED TO PLAY OUT SEQUENCES, ONLY TWO OF WHICH YOU HAVE BEGUN.

To what unlikely group of students do you refer? Is it the group, The Pan-African Union?

SOME OF THEM SHE HAS ALREADY MET WITH. THIS WILL BE AN OFFSHOOT OF A GROUP SHE IS NOW AWARE OF. THERE IS NO NAME NOW.

AH: Do I have any Sequences or ribbons with ST?

[You have] NO RIBBONS AND NO SEQUENCES DIRECTLY WITH HER, BUT OF COURSE YOU ARE IN SEQUENCES WITH OTHERS WHO DO.

What is the SRG on D: Fifth Level Old Priest in Growth, a Spiritualist, Arrogance, Passion, Mercury / Venus?

THAT IS ESSENTIALLY VALID. THIS LADY IS A FIFTH LEVEL OLD PRIEST IN GROWTH; NOT A SPIRITUALIST, HOWEVER: THIS IS A PRAGMATIST; VANITY, PASSION, MERCURY-VENUS.

What is the SRG on E?

THIS LADY IS A SECOND LEVEL MATURE SCHOLAR IN ACCEPTANCE, YES, IN THE PASSION MODE, WITH A CHIEF FEATURE OF SELF-DEPRECATION, MOSTLY MERCURIAL, SOME VENUSIAN, IN THE EMOTIONAL PART OF INTELLECTUAL CENTER.

What is her aura?

WE THINK THAT ONE COULD CALL THIS “FLAMING”. IT IS MOSTLY A REDDISH-GOLD. THIS DOES NOT CLASH WITH THE COOL COLORS PARTICULARLY, BUT THERE ARE MORE FLATTERING THINGS THE LADY COULD AFFECT.

JH: What is my task?

THIS TASK INVOLVES DISSOLVING THE ATTACHMENT TO MATERIAL SUCCESS THROUGH TRUE CREATIVITY. THE MAN J.H. HAS A FORMIDABLE TASK IN THIS AS MOST OF HIS SEQUENCES AND RIBBONS INVOLVE MONEY, A HABIT WHICH IS HARD TO BREAK.

Should we recognize tasks in others?

YES, YOU SHOULD. PARTICULARLY YOU SHOULD WORK TOWARD SOME INSIGHT TO YOUR OWN TASK.

CH: What is my task? Is it to be alone, or is there involvement with the child?

[It is] TO BE HAPPY ALONE, DEPENDING UPON THE “ALL”. PANDEPENDENCY OF COURSE IS PREDICATED UPON THE PERSONALITY BECOMING INDEPENDENT, AND FUNCTIONING SELF-SUFFICIENTLY WITHOUT DEPENDING UPON THE ACTIONS OF OTHERS AROUND YOU TO MOVE FIRST. OF COURSE, THIS IS NECESSARY IF YOU ARE EVER TO ALLOW THE ESSENCE TO RELY UPON THE COSMIC FORCES THAT IT KNOWS ARE DEPENDABLE. THAT IS ONE OF YOUR PRIMARY TASKS. IT IS NOT A GOAL. NO, THAT IS NOT THE ONLY ONE. THERE ARE OTHERS INVOLVING ARRIVING AT AN INNER “TRUTH”. THAT IN TURN INVOLVES UNSCRAMBLING MUCH CONFLICT IN DOCTRINES, OR RATHER MANY CONFLICTING DOCTRINES. AGAIN, THIS IS LARGELY A SOLITARY TASK. IF WE CLARIFY THIS IT WILL TAKE MORE HOURS THAN YOU NOW HAVE, SINCE IT INVOLVES A LIFETIME OF WORK, BUT BRIEFLY THIS LADY HAS WITHIN HER THE ABILITY TO ARRIVE AT A POINT OF SPIRITUAL TRANQUILLITY THAT SHE DOES NOT NOW ENJOY, BY RECOGNIZING FURTHER HER SELF WHAT IS TRUE AND DISCARDING THAT WHICH IS PATENTLY FALSE, KEEPING THE GOOD AND THROWING OUT THE BAD FROM ALL OF THOSE INFLUENCES WHICH HAVE AND WILL LATER COME INTO PLAY.

Is a “life task” one or several things?

“THE” TASK THAT MOST OF YOU IN THIS ROOM HAVE AGREED UPON IS THAT YOU WILL ATTEMPT TO HEAR THE WORDS. THIS IS PARAMOUNT. THE OTHERS ARE LIFE TASKS AND VARY FROM FRAGMENT TO FRAGMENT, DEPENDING UPON WHAT YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED IN THE PAST.

LO: I think my task is moving from being dependent to being more independent.

THIS IS ESSENTIALLY VALID, BUT WITH SOME RESERVATIONS. ONE [reservation] IS THAT YOUR LAST LIFE WAS A RELATIVELY COLORLESS ONE, AND WE SEE IN YOU AN ATTEMPT TO LIVE WITH MORE FLAIR. THIS STEMS FROM ONE OF THE TASKS, WHICH IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INNER VITALITY FROM A POINT OF INACTIVITY.

I had a “life reading” by a psychic friend. Was it valid?

MOSTLY VALID.

What isn’t valid?

WE FIND NO GREAT FAULT WITH THIS MAN. HE IS A TRANCE MEDIUM AND HE DOES SURRENDER WELL IN TRANCES.

LO: Was the information from E valid?

NOT ALL, BUT SOME [was valid]. SOME COMES THROUGH CONSIDERABLE BIAS.

E: I went to a creativity workshop given by a doctor of psychology.

YOUR TASK CAN BE SUMMARIZED IN ONE WORD: PARTICIPATION. THIS IS GENERALLY NOT AN EASY TASK FOR SCHOLARS, AND MOST DO NOT LIKE IT MUCH. THAT IS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE PASSION MODE AND ACCEPTANCE GOAL. IT FORCES YOU TO PARTICIPATE RATHER THAN TO SLIP THROUGH VICARIOUSLY AGAIN.

NA: What is the SRG on a friend that died recently, W?

THIS FRAGMENT CHOSE THE PASSION MODE AND GOAL OF ACCEPTANCE, YES, A REALIST, WITH A CHIEF FEATURE OF MARTYRDOM. THIS WAS A MID CYCLE MATURE SAGE. THE DRINKING TO EXCESS WAS ALMOST WHOLLY CULTURALLY INDUCED.

ET: Does my task involving teaching and aloneness — separation?

ALSO AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS TASK INVOLVES THE DISCRIMINATION IN KNOWING WHO CAN HEAR THE WORDS WITHOUT WASTING THE ENERGY ON THOSE WHO CANNOT. YES, THE SEPARATION IS ALMOST ACCOMPLISHED, AND YES, IT IS A SOLITARY TASK AND CANNOT BE INTERFERED WITH. IF THERE IS INTERFERENCE THERE IS NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED. THE TRUE OCCULT ADEPT IS USUALLY LONELY.

SC: What is the SRG on NC? Is she a Fifth or Sixth Level Mature Sage, Intellectual part of Emotional Center, Arrogance, Idealist, Mercurial?

THIS LADY IS A FIRST LEVEL OLD SOUL, MORE ARROGANCE THAN DOMINANCE. ALL ELSE IS VALID. SHE IS DEFINITELY NOT A REALIST: IDEALISM IS FLAGRANT.

AH: What is my task?

(Given before) ALTHOUGH THAT ONE IS BY NO MEANS COMPLETE. THERE IS ANOTHER THAT OF COURSE INVOLVES ALLOWING YOUR TALENTS TO EMERGE FROM UNDERNEATH THE SUBMISSION. YOU HAVE NOT COMPLETELY RECONCILED YOURSELF TO ALL OF THE CHILDREN’S “THINGS”; FOR INSTANCE, K.H.

AH: I feel I have accepted these things.

THE PRIMARY DIFFICULTY LIES IN THE SENSE OF LONGING, AND THIS IS AN INNER STRUGGLE WHICH BOTH A.H. AND R.H. MUST WORK THROUGH. THE ALIENATION IS REAL AT THE PRESENT. IT MAY NOT ALWAYS BE.
