ROTFL. Hilarious. No apologies needed. Peace and Light to You and Yours, Date: Mon, 30 Mar 1998 02:41:17 EST Here are two Q and A's submitted from this list for Michael to answer (for my web site at http://summerjoy.com). All the best, Q. Has anyone ever asked Michael about Antarctica? What is beneath all that ice? Was it ever inhabited? Was it tropical before the shift that put it at the pole? A. The Antarctica has been tropical before pole shifts. There is not much beneath it that we are aware of. There are some well-preserved animals and plants, but we doubt that they will be excavated in your lifetime. Q. How does prayer work? Who/what hears prayer, and how are events set in motion? I have had the experience of asking for what I want and letting go of it, and two months later getting the "phone call from out of the blue" that answers - so it wasn't ME who did it. Also, I'm coming to believe that prayer has to be phrased carefully, because modifiers aren't heard, just the essential thought. For example, if you pray for something NOT to happen, it tends to happen! Then there's Larry Dossey's theory that we really ought to restrict our prayers because we can't forsee all the consequences, and in fact, the only prayer necessary is "not my will, but thine." A. Prayer might be seen as a focused expression of intention, how you wish to direct your power to manifest. Most of the time, such power is diffused; prayer directs it so that it can be effective. Once you focus your intent, your essence and guides have a vehicle through which they can operate to help you manifest what you see as being in your highest good. If it is not truly in your highest good, they sense this and just leave it alone, but in many situations, there are several ways to "skin a cat," and so they are willing to go along with whatever you direct--you are the "captain" of your team. If there is an urgent need and you pray intensely enough, you make known the need to a larger circle of guides and therefore pull in more help. However, it is possible to operate in such a way that the needs are known without "shouting them to the heavens." When you live in continual spiritual awareness and connection, you see a need, direct your power into it, and that automatically alerts your team when more "juice" is needed for it. When you pray to God or a higher power with a purity of intent, in other words, with a desire that the highest good be served, you open yourself to receive more clearly and purely than you might normally. It is like a channel getting pure information about love when normally, he doesn’t function in such a clean way--his momentary intent opens him to a higher state. Opening to God can help you transcend self-centeredness. "Not my will, but thine" is useful when your will is going against the grain. However, when the specific choice is neutral (it doesn’t matter one way or another what you choose), or when you are the one in the best position to direct things, "Not my will, but thine" can be an abdicat ion of responsibility, forcing your guides to do more work or decide for you. "God" isn’t interested in telling you what to do--you are here to grow up so that you can see what is needed and take necessary action. However, before you have mature discernment, you are wise to take some guidance from your guides and essence. A good way to appr ch this is to do your best to see what is needed and to ask for it, but with the proviso that if there is something better or more appropriate, it is your intent to be guided in that way. It is true that you are not consciously aware of all factors and therefore cannot necessarily intellectually figure out the best course, but if you are in balance and have your intuition operating properly alongside your intellect, you will usually know what is best. Date: Mon, 30 Mar 1998 10:28:11 +0200 The way I understand it is that it is rare for simultaneous incarnations to meet, but if they do, the younger in soul age one is facinated with the older one and the older one is usually bored with the younger one, but there is usually excellent report between them nonetheless. Mmm excuse my ignorance but this has me somewhat confused. If it is the same essence how can its simultaneous incarnations be of different soul ages? I am also confused about how simultaneous incarnations affect past lives. If my essences has several other incarnations at present are my past lives really only 'mine'? Elizabeth Ferreira Date: Mon, 30 Mar 1998 02:58:12 -0800

Simultaneous, in this usage, means in the same physical plane timeframe. Essence experiences lives in "life order", and soul age increases in the same way. But lives can be experienced in any physical plane timeframe (not necessarily in chronological order). So just because two lives are in the same physical plane timeframe doesn't mean they are necessarily near each other in life number, therefore they are not necessarily near each other in soul age. Cheers, Date: Mon, 30 Mar 1998 03:27:27 -0800
| From: Elizabeth Ferreira
You could say your past lives are your essence's, which is, of course, you. Your essence is the sum of all of its experiences, one of which is your incarnation (and any other concurrent incarnations) as well as all past and future (from the perspective of this timeframe) lives.

Elizabeth, I am aware of different opinions of Michael channels on this. Some say simultaneous incarnations can't happen, others say it does. For myself, I'm undecided, but the way it was explained to me is that essence can travel back in time since time is not liner in the other planes of existance. So, for example, if you finish up your Old fourth lifetime from 1950 to 1999 (dying in 1999) you can travel back a few years and have your first Old 5th lifetime when you are born in 1948. It makes for interesting parallels I'm sure. I asked about this in a personal channelling session and was told that the reason essence would do this is if it wanted to really study a particular time period. This way it could have several incarnations to study the 1900s for example, instead of just one or two. John Macchietto Date: Mon, 30 Mar 1998 14:41:55 -0600 (CST) This recent thread about simultaneous incarnations has reminded me of an old
question I have had. Date: Mon, 30 Mar 1998 16:57:15 EST dear John -- About the karmas of the different incarnations......it is said that for each lifetime the essence sets up in advance a scheme of particular karmas and agreements that it wants to do. This is generally mostly or all coordinated with the other essences involved who want to experience their respective sides of the karmas or agreements. The essence sets up a time and place and parents that suits the plan and then the incarnation happens. The essence and the other ones involved generally do what they can to pull the strings so that the people meet in the physical plane. They will usually feel a strong urge (which they often can't explain rationally) to take whatever course of action the karmas and agreements want done. Of course some of them don't get done, so the essences will try again later sometime. Note: the essence doesn't normally set up the life with the intention of either a) handling ALL the past karma from before that life, or b) "whatever the cat drags in" of karma. There is usually a specific plan based on the essence's past experience and knowhow as its own karma manager. So concurrent lifetimes, since they are usually set up in different places, are probably going to have mostly different agendas for karma. There are accounts in Michael and elsewhere of different concepts whereby an essence fragments itself into portions, in the sense that it sets up clumps or clusters or groups of incarnations. Each group runs a separate string of karma, etc., based on its own earlier-in-the-group lifetimes and separate from the other groups' activities. However the details of this concept might be, in general it resembles the scheme whereby the Creator or Tao divides into separate portions, which divide again and again at different levels, and later recombine enriched by all their separate experience. Someone else looking at what we call "essence" might be seeing some slightly larger grouping instead, like a cadence. All the best, Ed Date: Mon, 30 Mar 1998 17:29:19 EST John asks how many essences are here, with 6 billion incarnated. This is one of the better questions that Michael hasn't dealt well with yet. In Seth Cohn's channeling (which was mentioned here a few weeks ago) that question was asked, and Seth's Essence had an answer, but it isn't the last word. The big question is, where did the hundreds of billions of past younger soul lives take place? Just giving 100 to each essence now incarnate, and a lot more for those not incarnate at the moment, certainly adds up! One possibility is a parallel universe scheme where there were lots and lots of parallel earths which each had a few million (or some appropriate, relatively small number) of infant souls living primitively. These many parallels would continue, or perhaps gradually merge into a smaller number with mostly baby souls or infant and baby; and continue gradually merging into a smaller number of parallels with an older mixture of souls like in our past history; then merge more and more into fewer parallels somewhat like where we are now -- and everything merges together sometime soon? Perhaps many of these hypothetical parallel universes were mined by nasty extraterrestrials and suffered catastrophic earth changes because the overall consciousness level was low. Then maybe people with those experiences in the past, but in another parallel, remember them clearly here but can't find any physical evidence. When I speak of parallels, I am conceiving of physical universes that are slightly different in a dimension that we can't perceive here. It would be like just ever so slightly different on the radio dial. If there are parallels in the sense that the Orinda channels speak of, i.e., a branch at each major choice point, that would work as follows, I think: We might be in a million or a billion or however many adjacent parallels of the kind I speak of above. Probably the number is limited. Each of these universes has its own separate reality but they fairly closely resemble the ones nearby. When an essence's personality in a life faces a major choice A or B, the essence manages (somehow) that perhaps A is done in 100 million parallels and B in another 100 million, or the numbers could be different if essence in its knowingness chooses so. Later the choice of AC or AD happens, and maybe the essence allocates 50 million parallels each way. Then perhaps AC has a three-way choice of ACE or ACF or ACG and essence divides the original 50 million among the three. Then these divide further with later choices. Maybe when another essence is involved they would have to collaborate. So if John marries Susie, they might agree to be married in 20 million adjacent universes and not married in the rest. Maybe they don't collaborate, but each individual universe goes its own way according to personality's choices there. Feedback??????? All the best, Ed Hamerstrom
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 1998 22:25:44 EST Dear John -- About my ideas on parallels -- Michael hasn't confirmed it, just remember that. I'm just speculating. I had an idea like this. Imagine you have a cable TV remote and you have it scanning through all the channels in sequence, round and round. Essence could have a similar way of operating. I'm in channel 28 and another me is in 29, etc. This me in 28 is unaware of the existence of 29 and 27, etc., Essence cycles through them all at its leisure. Essence is outside of time. Essence can devote special attention or more attention to the personality in some of the channels, if the personality asks for more contact or if essence is especially interested in what's happening. Thus essence gets to experience all the different variations of possibilities of choices, while each individual "me" is focused on only its own parallel universe and is unaware of other ones normally. (Because the system is set up that way by essence.) Sometimes in unusual cases we may pick up information from other parallel "me"s by a communication across or through the boundaries that separate the parallels, however that works. I would speculate that many vivid dreams or visions of disasters come to us from actual events in parallels, and that this is allowed to happen by essence because essence would just as soon we not repeat the disaster scenario in this parallel. More feedback from anyone???? All the best, Ed Date: Tue, 31 Mar 1998 03:04:45 -0800 Interesting theories, Ed. Thanks for posting. Cheers, Date: Tue, 31 Mar 1998 09:34:40 -0600 Hello all. On Saturday, April 25th, there will be a Michael group session, talk, and BBQ at our home in Fort Worth. I will be introducing some new information as well as channeling for the group. This get-together has been motivated by a visit from Jeanne, who will be coming from Missouri, and we will have about 10 Michael students and friends (so far) in attendance. The channeling and talk will probably go from about 2:00 to 5:00, with food and drink to follow. This will be a fine opportunity to meet new and old friends, as well as to see what a great BBQ cook my warrior husband is :) If you would like to join us, please contact me for more information. Caris Date: Tue, 31 Mar 1998 12:57:51 EST Below is an interesting little snippet that I found on an "Emily Dickinson" mail list. Obviously, the topic of poetry is irrelevant to the Michael list, but the topic it addressed is intriguing. The author draws an analogy between slavery and vegetarianism. I'm wondering if Michael has ever discussed if our views on the consumption of meat will radically change in the next century, in tandem with the expanded awareness of the Young soul - Mature soul shift currently transpiring.
I'd like to draw another analogy: vegetarianism in the 20th century. I believe it's not impossible that in 150 years meat-eating will be as ethically unacceptable in much of the world as slavery is today. If this were to be so, would it then be justified for early 22nd-century critics to deplore a 20th-century writer's failure to oppose meat-eating?

Sounds like you've been reading way too much Michael Moorcock!! Seriously, I've thought this forever. I just can't seem to explain it to anyone. Bravo for making it clear.

> Dear John -- About my ideas on parallels -- Michael hasn't confirmed it, just
To keep the analogy going: suppose instead of cycling through the channels, Essence has like a video wall consisting of a single video receiver for each of however many human fragments it has extended. Through some kind of spiritual technology Essence experiences everything that is going on in each of these video units. Now the kicker is... that Essence can, if it wants to, influence whatever is happening in each, any, or all of these video units, although it rarely does. Some kind of technology this... eh? :>)#
> Thus essence gets to experience all the different variations of possibilities
Maybe this is a "signal leak" between one channel to another channel. Somehow I sense this to be a kind of resonance between the connected/parallel "me's" or universes. That is for a short time they both are vibrating the same nature of their event at the same fequency, for want of better terms. This seems related to something I've been calling "Event Dynamics". It goes something like this: Every phenomenon/event in every reality has a series of characteristics (I don't know what they are yet... maybe related to galactic astrology or something like overleaves for an event) that describes the nature of that event. Whenever an event occurs that generates an essential characteristic energy at a particular frequency, and another event (even in another reality) is tuned to that same characteristic and frequency there is a resonance that sets up a connection between the two events. ...Just a deep conjecture. Don't nobody jump down my throat, now.
> I would speculate that many vivid dreams or visions of disasters come to us
Maybe Essence does not particularly want to repeat any experience, and what about premonitions that are not involving the pre-monitor? -- Date: Tue, 31 Mar 1998 17:15:54 -0600 Thanks Caris for telling folks about our "Party". I call us the Midwest Michael Group and we're going to have a "Mini Michael Conference". I am really excited about going to Ft.

All the best, ed Date: Tue, 31 Mar 1998 19:09:59 EST Dear Gina -- Who is Michael Moorcock? (Honest!) I still have a problem with parallels in that the physics folks don't seem to be able to explain them in a nice simple concrete way. I can imagine they would be incapable of detecting them with any sort of instruments, so it's left to sci-fi and channeling or far-out theorists to describe them. Also the process of parallels merging and splitting doesn't seem to jive with physics. I could speculate that maybe the overall number of parallel channels available goes up and down with the overall cosmic cycles of light and dark. They merge in the times of At-One-ment (like we seem to be hurtling toward) and split into the most channels in dark eras. Does that make any sense? I hope someone who channels Michael well and can handle the physics overview might come up with a much better version of all this! All the best, Ed Date: Tue, 31 Mar 1998 20:22:06 -0500 Ed wrote:

You know what... this makes me wonder how... Yeah... I wonder too. My mind is starting to boogle, er... boggle. How does essence keep track of all this... Is there a parallel to this in our earthly experience? What is the mind of essence like? Does essence even have "a" mind? Maybe it's got something even better than a mind. Mind... not brain... mind. Essence has an Essence... like the bigger fish do. Is there a unity to the minds of a cadence or of a cadre or even of the TAO? I'll have to... Geez... I "know" what we're talking about. You know it too. We all know it. or are we even suppposed to know this stuff while still physical? It's got something to do with our regaining the physicality of our 10 lost DNA strands. Knowledge and wisdom will soon come. I keep trying to engage this while still human. Maybe I need to turn on the higher centers. Hmmm. Such are/were the free form ramblings that precede illumination. I love you guys. Thanks for the questions and the sharings. -- Date: Tue, 31 Mar 1998 21:45:00 EST Dear Dave -- I agree with the snippet writer about those of the future looking down on us meat-eaters now. I think the change might accelerate faster, though. James Lovelock of the Gaia Theory fame was quoted as saying at a conference in the late '80s something to the effect that the single most useful invention science could come up with would be a virus that would wipe out the cattle population. It was said in jest, but to me it shows a very true point: just how much of what's out of balance ecologically on earth connects with cattle. We ruin vast amounts of land (after cutting down or burning the forests), the baby-soul socieities have constantly gone to war to get more grazing land; we all get tremendous health problems from overdoing animal foods, and they make the young souls more aggressive in their young-soulness, too!

Plus the amount of cattle we raise for meat significantly increases the amount of methane in the atmosphere, and the no 1 cause of river pollution in the UK is slurry from factory farms. The industry also a massive waste of water. In "Michael for the Millennium" someone asked if there was any "spiritual" reason not to eat meat, and Michael said no. Presumably meat eating doesn't create karmic debts in the way slavery did (and does), but personally I think there are many other reasons to avoid it. Most of us dislike outright cruelty to animals after all, and the conditions most meat animals are raised in are appalling.

Michael Moorcock wrote a series of novels about an Eternal Champion, who incarnates or sometimes simply moves from one time stream to another in an effort to balance the forces of Law and Chaos in the multiverse (this place is just chock full of possibilities). I don't know how many novels there were, but the entire series has just recently been re-released in a series of 15 volumes. It's great fun to read, and the big themes, questions are right in front of your face. It's funny that I happened to pick up the first volume about the time I subscribed to this list; I just finished the 5th volume, and the Champion actually met 3 other incarnations of himself in one of the stories. It seems quite synchronistic (oh, that's another list) that I should be reading this particular series of books at the same time that this thread on parallel time lines/universes, etc. appears on this list. FYI - Moorcock wrote most of these books in the 60s & 70s. So, if you're into sci fi/fantasy, you may want to give it a go, although the first book is not as well written as subsequent ones (great ideas, just not well written). As to the rest of your post re: physicists not being able to explain parallel time lines, etc. - what they are doing today would have been considered sorcery 150 years ago, so give 'em a break. I'll bet there are a lot of them out there who can "see" the concept in their minds and hearts ... and developing the tools to measure, quantify same is just a few lifetimes away. Although it's a lot of fun to speculate and try to figure everything out now, I've got "time" to see how it will all turn out. How about you?

Best, -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Date: Wed, 1 Apr 1998 13:56:06 EST Hey Michael devotees Has anyone read the latest Michael entry? I just picked it up at Barnes and Noble, and it's entitled "Confessions From Michael." It's a fascinating read. Many of the chapters are prophetic, including shocking probabilities that as the evolutionary process develops, primates (gorillas) will evolve into infant soul sentient creatures that will ultimately dominate the planet, and that the human race, largely an old soul consciousness by then, will not have the inner resolve to stop them. There was also mention that humans might be used as a food source for the fiendish primates. Obviously, this draws a chilling parallel with that old sc-fi epic, "Planet of the Apes." Who knew how it would one day foreshadow a possible real world event. In addition, there was a chapter that the middle east, mainly Iraq, would continue their research into bio-chemical warfare, and accidently discover a chemical agent that would rejuvenate dead cells in tissue. This horrific technology would allow Iraq to create foot soldiers that could be killed, yet would be capable of being revived to fight another day. I shudder at the horrific implications of this new prophecy. Also, Michael stated that it's own entity will continue to evolve, and to reflect this transformation, he now feels that his/their name should be changed to...Fred? Anyway, the book is called "Confessions From Michael." I hope you all enjoy it. Dave Date: Wed, 01 Apr 1998 14:22:57 -0800 Oh yeah! And the part about in another parallel, the asteroid gets us!

I enjoyed it immensley, thank you! :) Christine -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Date: Wed, 01 Apr 1998 17:06:59 -0800 Dear Michael-listers, I want you all to know how wonderful it's been having and meeting friends like you here. You've all been like a great support group to me and I'm so glad of the things we share here. I need to ask you a favor. I've posted before about how I looked into finding my birth mother who gave me up for adoption when I was born and how Ed Hamerstrom and Carol Shaeffer who I met at the AMT conference last November, inspired me to find my b-mom Sheila. It's been wonderful to find her and I feel it's been a very healing emotionally/spiritually for both of us. I can't thank you guys enough for pushing me in this way before it was too late. I always had hopelessness about it because all the readings I'd ever had done they'd told me she was probably dead already. Well she's not. Not yet, but we don't know how much time she has. Last week Sheila finally told me something--she has cancer, and it's really bad--she even feels it in all her lymph system. Her husband and I are being very supportive and trying to help her out all we can. I can't tell you all the reasons why she never sought treatment, but after having seen what happens to people on chemo/radiation with cancers like hers, who die from the treatment which was worse than the disease, I guess I can't blame her. Her husband and I though, after her finally telling us, are getting her some help. He's into herbs and I got her some Essiac tea mix which she should receive soon, and I thought, she's gonna need a miracle if she wants to live. I know we choose and that even though the chance is slim, she can still choose life! I thought, where do I know of a healer? The next day I remember Joya Pope had told me about Mother Meera, in Germany, the Infinite soul.... That afternoon I got a whopping big old check in the mail for excess money our mortgage company had for us! I hadn't expected that, but I took it as a sign we could use the money for plane tickets! Sheila hasn't decided whether to take me up on the offer or not yet, but I hope so. I think we can help her with the spiritual and emotional stuff this way, and the herbs and her own desire to live will determine if the physical healing will follow. God, I hope so....

Try detaching yourself from the situation (yeah right!) for just a little bit, and ask what the purpose of this situation is.

Welcome Entity Mate. Though I am a Sage, I am also 1st Cadre/5th Entity. (Walt Disney Entity and Emily Baumbach says Ewoks). Nice to find family around. Jeanne Holley Date: Wed, 1 Apr 1998 21:35:27 EST Dear Lori -- IMHO the single most important factor in whether someone recovers or dies is more than just "desire to live". It is more a matter of do they have something important still unfinished that they want to do. Sometimes such a purpose might be bogged-down or even forgotten, and when they remember how much they wanted to do it, it can provide great animation. What I'm saying, BTW, isn't personal to her. I don't know anything about her life plans and I'm not saying anything specific about her as a person. Your mother could have a "miraculous" recovery if she at a really deep level decided she wanted to. To get to that place she would have to bypass the deeply imprinted beliefs which people usually have that "miracles" don't happen or at least, not in this neighborhood. She would also have to stop creating the higher level scenario which provided for her to get this illness for whatever reason her essence allowed it. Both of these are fairly major hurdles for most people to get over but she might be able to and you should work on this. Envision her being able to deeply hold these ideas: ***** That she can recover if she wants to. Miracles do happen. When a saint appears to heal someone, all they are doing is facilitating the person doing the healing by their own power and will. A saint can't heal someone when the essence doesn't wish it. So she as both essence and personality needs to want to be healed. ***** That there are really good reasons why her essence would want to keep this life going here and now. This is a time and place that ETs from all over the universe are watching with utter fascination and often envy. There is plenty for her to do. (You could ask her what things would she really like to do with her life if she were to recover.) ***** For her to recover she will almost certainly have to discover when she first made a decision (at some level, not ordinarily consciously of course) to create the illness. People make important decisions like that and the effect is like a machine that keeps running indefinitely creating the decided-upon reality. The only way to stop the machine is to remember that one created it in the first place. Then one can decide to turn it off. [She may have decided years ago. It might have something to do with regretting giving up her child. There are all sorts of reasons, and you have to see to it that she gets this work done!] ***** She'll have to understand that the God that answers prayers is her own essence, not some distant old man in the sky or whatever. Corollary: one's prayers are always heard and there's no need for theological complications or doubts. I'd highly recommend talking with someone who teaches the Avatar course and pick their brains. (See www.talamasca.org -- probably the best all-around Avatar site.) My belief is that anyone who would be your mother is pretty cool. I want her to stick around. I want her to show that she can do it, aside from everything else. Much love, Ed ***** Date: Thu, 2 Apr 1998 02:50:04 EST In a message dated 98-04-01 20:41:15 EST, Jeanne Holley writes:

Me too! JP has channeled an astonishing amount of entity information recently. I am lucky enough to have a copy of the list that shows all the 'blocks' or groups contained in entities and much other information. Jeez! I hope this gets published soon since it is packed FULL of incredible stuff. Using this information, I know that I am: It is your number within the entity (mine is 83, see above) that puts you on a square within your entity, and you just look at all the blocks, jobs, columns, etc. to find out more about your particular energy information, as created by your position within the entity. This information says so much about the flavor we come to any lifetime with that I feel it is valuable in pinpointing why you are certain ways that our overleaves, imprinting, etc. cannot explain. Incidentally, another channel had channeled my number, and that one put me as Scholar casting - which I 'knew' to be wrong. I tried to get a feel for what my number might be without asking the M's, but had no success. Then one day while I was doing a session for a client, the M's said to me, 'your number is 83'. I looked at the chart and that ol' truth sensation zinged. So there you have it - lots of great stuff coming through. Caris Date: Thu, 2 Apr 1998 12:31:03 EST Dear Caris -- Has JP gotten any more info about "wild cards" since the conference, or named any of them besides me?

Dear Caris, This is very interesting, and rings deep and true with me. Back in the late 70's when I had my overleaves channeled I found that my entity has a subgroup called "Truth", one called "Healer", and one called "Love". I know there are many other "common interest groups" there, but I didn't have the presence of mind back then to ask about them.

Me thinks the above analogy is a bit too linear. In the sense that Essence can take care of things "one at a time". Our minds usually work that way (and definitely our computer processor chips), switching tasks continuously, juggling several projects to keep them going. But our minds need not work that way, though that is the easier to manage and understood method. When we experience, we experience with our whole being. When we process the sensory inputs, we process them with our whole being, not just the mind. Since we, as incarnate fragment, can *be* without being linear, it is just logical that our essence can experience different fragments simultaneously, without having to "task-switch" in "time-sharing" fashion.

I've tried asking for images of guides and my essence a number of times. My guide finally appeared in my mind with a zany visage that reminded me of "Doc" from the movie "Back to the Future." I'm serious. He later popped his eyes out as if they were dangling on springs, like a cartoon character who is attempting to show intense surprise. The feeling I got from the experience, was that my guide thinks some of my spiritual interests are silly. Though, considering I have a goal of relaxation, perhaps my guide was merely saying, "Lighten' up, Dave. " My essence appeared to me as a character I can only describe as looking like "Friar Tuck," and then later as a pulsating pint of Ben & Jerry's. Thus, as far as I can fathom, like my guide, my essence likes to make light of my spiritual endeavors, or perhaps just enjoys teasing me unmercifully.

Dave, I'd invite you to consider that the goal of "stagnation" may be more than just a sort of recess period from the schoolroom of life. In a society like ours, where a predominantly Young- and Mature-Soul population races about doing a great deal, fixing things, and judging inaction inferior to action in nearly all instances, the goal of "flow" marks out a particularly difficult life path. Just coming to recognition and acceptance of such a goal takes many years, and may never happen. Ironically, in this culture, an individual whose goal is "stagnation" is going more against the flow than just about anyone else. In the original books, the positive pole of "stagnation" was called "suspension," which is actually a very dynamic state, requiring a good deal of fine tuning. The slip from suspension into the negative pole of inertia may happen many times a day. The secret I have begun to learn, at the age of 42, is that joy and compassion are the active, dynamic forces capable of holding me in a state of suspension where nothing "needs to be done." Cultivating those forces is the work of the second half of my life, and though the prospect is wonderful, and the roses do indeed smell terrific, this lifetime has been far from a game of kickball on the playground.

Well, I believe I mentioned that a goal of relaxation might be a lifetime focused on inner processing, rather than external, moving centered activities. And I know from personal experience that my inner world is indeed a very active one. Of course, this is a highly subjective observation, as I'm certain a goal of relaxation can mean many different things, depending on the personal agenda of essence. So despite even the sometimes exhausting task of inner processing, I would still physically equate a goal of relaxation to a person who typlifies the designation of your garden variety "sofa spud." And I can offer indisputable testimony (of course, it's my own opinion ;-p) that there are permanent indentations on my sofa that outline the tired shape of my body.
Cultivating those forces is the work of the second half of my life, and though the prospect is wonderful, and the roses do indeed smell terrific, this lifetime has been far from a game of kickball on the playground.

I am skeptical of this new information, partly because I can't envision it without some type of graphical representation, but primarily because it seems to be in disagreement with what is currently accepted as valid (first mentioned in the Michael Math chapter of »More Messages«, and described quite well in »Journey« IMO). The new information seems to completely disregard the influence of Role, whereas according to »More Messages« we are cast by Role. The resulting influences are significant "from the bottom up" - fragment within Cadence, Cadence within Greater Cadence, and Greater Cadence within Role in Entity.(§1) If this new information is compatible with what has been known before, which IMO is valid, its validity needs to be considered. Until that time, or until the old information is effectively refuted, I'll hold the new information to be an interesting possibility. BTW Caris - did you ever get your "raw" number (your fragment position within your Role in your Entity)? That is the only way I know of to identify your Cadence mates. According to Michael, the Cadence relationship is a very important one.(§2) Cheers, [--------------------===============<*>===============--------------------] §1 - --- M2 = »More Messages From Michael« / Chelsea Quinn Yarbro (OOP) In marking quoted material, the marks »text« represent italics.

Shepherd's writeup in »Journey« is excellent IMO. The largest hierarchical grouping he documents is the Cadre Group, which is 12 Cadres. Each Cadre consists of 7 Entities, each containing multiple Roles. Casting by Role is in groups of 7 fragments, called Cadences. Cadences are grouped upward in Greater Cadences (7 Cadences), then multiple Greater Cadences in the Role (not a fixed number as the number of fragments per Role is not fixed).

valid information because it did not appear in the original books or is not yet
available in published form. The M's remind us all of using that 'truth' bell.
As to your question above, the number I mentioned in my post, "83"
might be what you refer to as a raw number - what I know about it is everyone in
an entity has one particular number (that I have refered to as 'assigned
seating'). The other numbers in my cadence are 78-84. We are all part of the
Artisan Block, on the Truth Side, and are all in the Sage/Communicastion Row.
#78 would be refered to as #1 in my cadence. I am #83 and that puts me as #6 in
my cadence, therefore Priest casting. Numbers above and below me in the chart
are also Priest casting. The whole entity is structured in areas of 7..... 7
blocks per side, 7 rows per block, 7 columns per block. Other Priest castings in
my Artisan Block are #'s 55, 62, 69, 76, 83, 90, and 97. However, I am a King
and I have no idea as yet if there are other Kings in my cadence. I would not be

There are so many mature and old soul kids who lack the fear of death that was so widespread in past years and darker times, and some of them will decide to do suicide not so much out of despair, etc., as a combination of things including "making a statement" or some sort of idea of sacrifice like Jesus. Of course these might be thoroughly crazy things to do and not what the essence wants, but the stew of readily available beliefs and ideas that are around now includes a lot of possibilities like those above. With traditional fear-based religion virtually gone from the younger generation, so much more is available. Then I think each of these suicides has quite a transformative effect on the people around, just like what you've described. I see a lot of the positive side of it. A suicide like you describe may have more beneficial impact on some of the more solidly believing Christians than their accounts of Jesus, because the suicide is here and now and close to home. I think suicides are going to be dramatically prevalent in the Bible Belt area in years to come. We should probably come to terms with it in advance. I'm going to post this to the board even though your original message wasn't, since I'm getting a strong hit to do so. Love, Ed Date: Sat, 4 Apr 98 19:12:11 UT
<snip
I experienced my essence once during a yoga meditation. This was a life-changing experience for me (I was 20) and set me on my spiritual search to find a teaching that would confirm it - which I finally found when I read "Messages from Michael" 20 years later. At the time I knew - with a deep, unshakeable knowing - that this was my "true soul" and that it was eternal and separate from my body, my sex, and my personality. I experienced it as a bluish-silver globe with silvery energy radiating out from it. I was high for days after this and have sought it again, but it's never happened. I suspect that I was given this experience to help me keep going at a point in my life where I was very close to NOT going on . . . In contrast, my guide shows up in dreams as a young, cocky, blond man, often literally as a mountain climbing guide or a river-rafting guide. Kind of a know-it-all and wiseass, actually.

The #1 entity of a cadre connects smoothly to the #7 of the next cadre so there are no breaks or discontinuities. #1 entities are red, #7's are violet, and the others correspond with the intermediate rainbow colors. The whole ring has a triangular cross section. Imagine a three-sided pipe. It isn't clear whether the three sides are flat or curved. The model was made by Lani Allen with flat sides. Each side has 7 x 7 x 7 = 343 small squares (in the model) representing the different essences' positions. There are 7 large blocks of 7 x 7 = 49 of the small squares. The large blocks, the rows within them, and the columns represent important casting elements. Caris named them, but I'm not familiar with the details of the names or how they all corrrespond. The "raw number" or "number" is arrived at as follows. One of the three sides starts with #1 as the first cell at the top left. Counting across that row has the numbers through 7. The next row down has numbers 8 through 14. This row is the second row, so those essences are a cadence group with a #2 influence. The next row down holds #15 through 21 and is a #3 cadence, and so on through row 7, cells 43-49. Then we start into the next one of the seven large blocks on that side of the
triangle. If you divide any of these numbers by 7 the remainder will be the vertical column number which corresponds to cadence position. This is the strongest of the three casting numbers in our past understandings; I presume it still is. The second side of the triangle has the "raw numbers" 344-686 in a similar arrangement and the third side has 687-1029. JP said that about 15% of fragments are "wild cards" which attach to this structure between two adjacent cells. The nature of their connections with the other essences is different from those in the regular positions described so far. Michael made clear when someone asked that these rows and blocks are NOT made up of solid groups of the same role. (This differs from the Yarbro books.) Also, we choose roles before we are positioned in this structure. The top row #1 through 7 will be next to the bottom row 337-343 of the adjacent entity, and likewise for the other two sides. There is one more complication to the structure, and you might need to draw this to see it. Each entity is a section of the triangular "pipe", and 7 x 12 = 84 of them form a ring. But each entity has its three sides staggered. I guess it's like laying bricks in an interlocking pattern to hold them together better. The #1 large block (cells 1-49) touches two sides of the bottom of the entity above. The #1 cell will have as its neighbor to the left someone at the right end (#7 column) of one of the two bottom large blocks of the entity above. People in the #7 column will have as their neighbors to the right someone in a #1 column of the bottom part of the entity above. |
