That reminds me,
Once at a Michael retreat the guy who in a previous life was Heisenberg
(sp?) of Heisenberg uncertainty principle fame sparked a conversation about the
universe. Michael said we can help design the next universe if we want. He said
Heisenberg was one of those who chose to get involved with the design of this
universe that we are in now.
My personal suspicion of why all that is created this plane is because God
got bored and he needed a little entertainment. We are maybe the Nintendo for
the Tao?

Subject: Changing Overleaves
Hi everyone,
Michael has said on more than one occasion that the only part of the
overleaves that we can change during a lifetime are the Chief Features. And just
when we got used to them, then they get sneaky on us and do a switch! I say go
figure:) I think that its important that we remain open and flexible with these
teachings, but not to the point of losing sight of the core teachings.
Personally, Im not much for parallel lives and walk-ins because I have observed
lots of folks getting caught up in the mystery and drama of thoseconcepts,only
to avoid what their work is here on the physical plane. All is chosen- we all
end up at the end of the line eventually:P
And as one now infamous Michael channel said, "after we die, we all go
to the Acucheck Bardo station and get our correct overleaves!"
Also, about the Magnetic Kings: in a session this last weekend, they
said through SC that there are now 300 plus MOKings incarnate at this time.
That's certainly more than the 50plus mentioned in MMFM don't you think?

As mentioned in my response to Barry, your number of 1481 resolves to
4/2/31=3 which gives you a Scholar/Artisan/Warrior influence (assuming standard
structure of cadence groupings). Does that resonate better than Server/Sage/Sage
which came from 225?
My guess is it probably does.

Jody,
I really didn't mean any harm in my joke and I hope you didn't take that
personally. As a light hearted sage, I can focus on the humor sometimes without
being as sensitive as might be wise.
Recently, I had heard that magnetic kings are 6th level old kings and have
a particular task and talant in drawing people to them with certain agreements.
These kings are supposedly very rare and there's presently only a handful of
them incarnated presently.
The not able to wear watches comment is strickly my speculation.

The Scholar/Artisan/Warrior influence (4/2/3) resonates much more strongly
than the Server/Sage/Sage influence (1/5/5). I expect that is why the latter
numbers felt useless to me even tho' I channeled them. And I use the word
"useless" to mean "not having much value" rather than "being incorrect". The
1/5/5 numbers are the results of the Akashic trying accomodate itself to my
uninformed questioning.
per Michael: (not quoted)
-------------------------
My Essence is in the Scholar position of my Primary Cadence.
My Primary Cadence is in the Artisan Position of my Greater Cadence.
My Essence is in the 1,481st Position of my Entity.
A much more powerful system of numbers for me is 4/2/1481=4, which gives me a
Scholar/Artisan/Scholar influence. This has an even greater resonance than the
4/2/31=3 notation, due primarily to the following:
"Greater Cadence" has little meaning within an Entity, but is a useful means
of describing the group of fragments that may have a very important effect on a
fragment's life during an incarnation cycle. They are the pool from which the
Quadrates, Septates, and other groupings may be drawn. ET's and TC's are also
part of the Greater Cadence. And... each fragment is part of the Greater Cadence
of each member of her/his Greater Cadence.
The position numbers seem to be just influences/imprintings acting upon the
Essences. Any Essence may occupy any entity position. There are other
considerations(sic) regarding Entity Organization that have not been discussed
yet, and will be discussed when we Michael Students can perceive them. Continue
asking questions.
Just as a reminder: in order for there to be an entity mate relationship
there must also be an equality of both fragments' Cadre Hierarchy from Entity
thru Cadre and up through the Greater Cadre Groups all the way up to the TAO.
Having the same Cadre and Entity numbers does not necessarily make for Entity
Mates. JJ Tan mentioned this in a private post to me.
Michael suggests that fragments validate their relationships through their
own inner knowings and feelings. These are much more telling than Cadre and
Entity relationship numbers due to their immediacy in the Here and Now.

Limitations
+++++++++++++++++++
The most successful people have reached the top not because they
are free of limitations, but because each day, each moment, they
act in spite of their limitations. We are blessed with virtually
unlimited possibilities, and we must pursue those possibilities
within the very real confines of our own limitations. Every person
who has ever lived has struggled against their own set of limitations.
What are your limitations? Do you see them as an excuse for defeat,
as a reason to give up? The limitations you face are not there to
stop you, but rather to challenge and ultimately to support you.
Limitations provide a frame of reference, something to push against,
a way to grow.
Everything you have ever accomplished, has been done in spite of
your limitations. You've proven, over and over again, that you can
overcome your own unique challenges. Refuse to let your limitations
stand in the way of your possibilities.
Look ahead
+++++++++++++++++++
Waiting on the other side of your problem, there is a solution.
On the other side of your discouragement, there is joy. Once you
get through your trouble, it will be behind you. At the moment it
may seem like everything is going wrong, because you're seeing the
world from a negative perspective. The way out is to work yourself through.
The world will look better when you resolve to make it better, when
you take the disappointments in stride and refuse to let them stop
you. You are better than the difficulties that now plague you. Work
through them, put them behind you, and your life will be richer
for the experience.
Look ahead, look beyond the disappointments of today. Remember where
you're headed. Keep the ultimate goal in mind. What seem to be setbacks
are actually steps along the path. Just because you encounter a detour,
doesn't mean you must stop. Work your way through and you'll move
yourself ahead.

I myself like the concept of micro/macro...you know, not necessarily ends but
everything within itself over and over. I guess I would imagine it would end by
beginning very small again...the, what is that...uburos? snake eating it's own
tail? And then that snake is just one of many other snakes doing the same thing?
To get beyond the whole cycle stuff, I imagine it must be jumping to a whole
different level. Which is also a part (together with ours) of something else. So
maybe it doesn't end! But that's why some of this cadre system stuff makes sense
to me. BUT it is a bit distressing if I try to imagine myself now as a cell in a
body, and then stop to think about how much of an individual my cells
are...help! If my feelings are like that of a cell...well, guess that's just an
issue of being too wrapped up in the ego, huh?
Okay, well, anyways, (seems that I'm getting a lot of extra et artisan
attention and am writing in a rather scattered way -- sorry!) something about
the eastern ideas of maya (that's it, isn't it?)...where everything is an
illusion...I bet that's true about the whole cyclical system too. All a matter
of perspective. I'm just gonna work on finding those truths and laws that are
always there in everything, 'cause I think I would get lost very easily trying
to see everything "out there" and above.
So, I guess this does apply (at least for me) to the Michael system, because
no one is really "wrong"...we're all just worked into different places within
the system, and have different viewpoints. Someone on the tiniest level is
really no farther than someone on the highest/grandest. Same rules apply, in
essence. What is essential. Okay, that's enough babbling for today I think. Yes,
one day I thought I stumbled upon the meaning of life, and that was to find the
meaning of life. Maybe that is it. (or part of the quest of being human at
least) Or maybe it's to find the meaning in life. But I have a feeling it's more
of just being a part of it all. yes? gathering our perspectives? Maybe the
"god/all that is" that is trying to get different views of itself (if that is
indeed the case) is doing that because it doesn't know either, and isn't any
more "in the know" than the rest of us.
It is so hard to imagine grander stuff without comparing it to our own
existence, isn't it? Is that why we run into so many problems figuring it out,
or is it a matter of mirrors and repeating levels? Anyone?

It is probably the case that every student has their favorite book. As you
noted, there are several on the market.
Probably the most thorough and complete book currently available is »The
Journey of Your Soul« by Shepherd Hoodwin. If you go back through the archives
of this list you will note instances of students being completely engrossed when
they first get the book. It's really quite good.
Another one I like is »The World According to Michael« by Joya Pope. It is a
much smaller book than »Journey« but gives a good overall view of the teachings.
If you go to Shepherd's site at http://www.Summerjoy.com/ you can read some
of the chapters in »Journey«.

The cadre numbers Michael uses through me are each unique. They do not imply
a particular position within a cadre group--they just keep going up, although
I've never gotten a number higher than 23, since "birds of a feather flock
together." I simply wouldn't have cause to channel a chart for someone very far
afield from me. However, the numbers I get can be translated into their
positions within cadre groups.
Sarah's new system starts with very large groupings, "nodes," and works to
the more specific. I don't yet have enough information on it to translate
between it and the system Michael uses through me.

Subject: Tracing your roots
Hi folks,
With regard to tracing your "roots" up to the Tao. I fully agree that at
present there's just no way to know if one "Entity 3, Cadre 4" is the same as
another "Entity 3, Cadre 4" without further details. Just as there's obviously
more than one "apartment 3 on the 4th floor" within a whole city. The address
system given so far seems to be just too limited.
However, using Sarah C's *node* info, I think I've got a clearer picture of
what's going on which can help to narrow things down somewhat.
For instance, I'm told that myself, my wife and my sister-in-law are all
members of Node 804. As far as I can tell, node number is a specific address
system for this planet, a sort of unique zip code for those working on Earth.
There isn't any other Node 804 in this neck of the woods!
The "node" (or "pod"?) is the highest organizational unit yet identified by
Michael. In Sarah C's readings, a node apparently incorporates 343 cadres, which
makes 2,401 entities ( or >2.4 million fragments).
Also according to Sarah's info [and thanks to Shepherd for passing this on],
specific nodes are identified by a somewhat peculiar number system, beginning
with Node 100. One factor in this is the species type:-
Nodes 100-1xx are human
Nodes 200-2xx are human
Nodes 300-3xx are cetacean
Nodes 400-4xx are human
Nodes 500-5xx are cetacean
Nodes 600-6xx are human
Nodes 700-7xx are cetacean
Nodes 800-8xx are human
Nodes 900-9xx are cetacean
Perhaps Node 100 was the first node on Earth -- the first great wave of souls
(2 and a half million of them...) to ensoul the human species. If that's the
case, then being in Node 804 puts me way down the list -- nothing wrong with
that!
However, I don't know if all nodes 100-299 would have incarnated before the
first wave of cetaceans (300?), or if it's more a matter of any old node
deciding to "go in" when it's good and ready (cetacean node 465 followed by
human node 205...). Of course, it doesn't matter in terms of who's in which
Node.
Looking at it carefully, if every possible 3-figure slot is filled, the above
list only accounts for up to 500 nodes of souls incarnating as humans (that's
about 0.125 billion fragments) and up to 400 nodes incarnating as cetaceans.
There must be more, I reckon, so the list surely goes on beyond Node 999.
Exactly how many 'human' nodes there are in action at present is hard to say,
but I'd say there must be at least some 2,500 human nodes involved. This will
include fragments who currently are doing their thing in the astral locker room
between lives, not just those of us running around on the planet wondering who
we are.
I don't know if any entire nodes have already cycled off the planet.
Anyway, coming back to the original point, if we all had our node numbers and
greater cadre numbers, we'd all have our unique addresses -- not all the way up
to the Tao, but as far as is necessary for planet Earth -- unless you're just a
visiting alien of course and need to know your place in the galaxy.

Subject: Shroud of Turin
Hello everyone,
I have a question. In the original Messages From Michael, Michael says
that the Shroud of Turin is most definitely real. That is, it is the actual
cloth that Jesus was wrapped in. Well, within the last decade or so, 4 separate
universities simultaneously tested the Shroud using carbon-14 dating and ALL of
them found that it only dated from the 13th or 14th century. Therefore, the
Shroud is not what the Catholic church claims it to be. I understand Michael
sometimes "makes mistakes" but he goes on about the validity of the Shroud in
detail for almost a full page. If such a major blatant error is made, how can we
be sure that the other claims Michael make are true?

Subject: Think for yourself
You think for yourself and you get insite and perspective from Michael. When
I can't figure something out or have run out of logical explanations, then I get
channeling. To get channeling before one has exhausted self plans of action on
any subject could lead to weakness, lack of self confidence and eventually
ineptness. I know some very successful people who won't lift a finger without
consulting Michael and they do very well. It does not work for me. Michael works
best for me when I need an understanding or POV of something I refuse to see. If
Michael was right about everything then Michael would be worshipped and Channels
would be deified. Michael is no more right than one's own intuition. Channels
are no examples of Heroes or Heroines. They need guidance, love and support as
much as any of us. Love, support and guide your local channel today.

Subject: On Accountability
I've got this watch that I like a lot, it's got a green face and in small
golden capital letters it says, "NOW" and it always reminds me what time it
*really* is, it's now (of course it does tell time too,) an opportunity to seize
the moment, or to let it slip by.....
Perhaps what would even be better is to have the saying "All Is Chosen"
written backwards, tatooed across my forehead so I could see it every time I
looked in the mirror! Well, maybe not. ;-p
But anyway, knowing that "all is chosen" really gives us a lot of
responsibility, and a lot of power. It lets us know that we choose our destiny,
and that means we create opportunities, and then act upon them to create what we
want, be it happiness, success, or a great sandwich.
Totally taking accountability for our lives and what happens in our lives
makes us free. Taking responsibility is the only way I know of that totally
frees us from Chief Feature. When you are being totally accountable for your
life, you do not fear being out of control, that there is lack, that you're not
good enough, that you're a victim, that there isn't enough time, that the
unknown is a scary thing, etc., that all the Chief Features are based on. When
you are totally accountable, you know that you are free to make a new choice, at
this very moment.
Love,
Lori
Accountability
Life holds us accountable whether we like it or not. Every
action produces irrefutable consequences. And though we may
try to hide from those consequences, in the end they always
catch up to us.
What will you do today to uphold the responsibility you have
to your own possibilities? What about in the next twenty
minutes? What consequences will your actions produce?
Hold yourself accountable, and the consequences work in your
favor. Accept the responsibility for your own life, and you
gain control of your own destiny. It's easy, and often very
reasonable, to blame your troubles on something or someone
outside yourself. It's easy to expect other people, or changing
conditions, to solve your problems for you. It's easy to expect
dumb luck to bring fulfillment into your life. Easy, and yet
sadly misguided.
Ultimately, only you can be accountable for you. It is a
serious responsibility and a boundless opportunity.

I really wonder about the accuracy of carbon dating. Michael has said much of

scientists have measured it to be. And in my anthropology classes we heard about
wildly different dates as a result of testing. Those stories don't usually make

One thing that I did see in the news was the carbon testing may have been
done not on the material of the shroud itself, but on some fungi that grew on
the shroud many years later. (It coated the threads.)

...It would be neat if an artist could paint him somehow.
I heard that Jesus put some kind of energy on the shroud and that is why it
carbon 14 dates different from what it is supposed to. I also have heard of the
inaccuracies of carbon 14 dating. When I first heard about the energy put on the
shroud it didn't make sense but I have heard more recently that infinite (or
near infinite souls?) cause time distortions around them which could account as
I see it for the carbon 14 dating to be off. Michael said once that they usually
get the right parallel when getting information. That could mean that if you
asked a question about this parallel they might get the historical information
from a different parallel where history played out completely different. Maybe
in another parallel the shroud is as they describe but in this one it isn't
real. I am not voting for any of these possibilities over the other ones.

One-off class? Weekend workshops?) Have you included experiential work, or just

Subject: Re: Teaching Michael
Dear Barry -- My feedback on the subject; just a few ideas.
I think a sizable fraction of people who discover the Michael books would
like to have the further experience of participating in a study group. The
subject is so large and it needs to be grounded into actual concrete reality,
i.e., actual people with actual soul ages, overleaves and so on. Any group could
profitably spend huge amounts of time studying or discussing the teachings and
pursuing it all wherever they are led to.
Most people also want to get their overleaves and find their essence twins
and so on. This generally means getting a session from a channel. IMHO this
doesn't need to be part of a study group and a group can get along fine
operating on the basis that they want to figure out their overleaves and so on
themselves and thrash it out in discussion. If the members know each other this
is fun; if they don't it is a slow process. Probably most of the students who
would make the effort to attend a group regularly would also get a Michael
reading if they have access to a channel.
My experience is that the various channels who had regular groups, where
people paid money and Michael channeled general info and answered personal
questions -- this activity has declined in almost every case. It seems that most
individual students will eagerly ask their personal questions up to a certain
point, then it begins being expensive and repetitive and they realize that they
can and should get their own answers.
Actual study groups are not unlike meditation groups (generally, small groups
with some spiritual focus that meet regularly) in having a constant conflict
between two principles: the more often they meet and the more time they spend
together, the better; but most people have all sorts of other demands on their
time which make it hard to find a consensus that allows frequent regular
meetings. There are other big issues over who can join as new members, about
privacy, and other human relations soap opera that can come up; also issues of
leadership and politics.
If the group is a set of mostly strangers whose main common interest is
Michael, the issues above will probably spoil the fun and hold you to a limited,
dry, scholarly and intellectual exploration until and unless a lot of personal
barriers and defenses come down.
On the other hand, if you have a group of people who already are mostly
friends or at least know each other, and if you meet frequently and have a
common purpose, then you have great potential for positive benefit in many ways;
but chances are that this group doesn't have much common interest or knowledge
of Michael, and trying to narrow the focus to Michael makes for problems.
My general recommendation, and I think Michael might even endorse it, is that
there is great positive benefit to be had from small groups meeting with a
spiritual (and/or community) focus regularly, preferably weekly. It should
include some meditation, holding hands in a circle, etc., so as to reinforce the
strengthening of the love and interconnections and support between all the group
members. This is basically what early churches were about long ago. The group
builds a deep and powerful energy. It follows wherever it "wants to go",
including explorations of healing, study of spiritual and metaphysical
teachings, and/or leadership and action in the community surrounding. If a group
can't find a way to meet weekly I don't think the commitments are strong enough
ultimately for it to work well. Many people find the time weekly to have regular
parties, or all-night poker games, or to watch movies or sports, or even attend
church services, so if they can't find a way to fit in a couple of hours for
spiritual group communing, they aren't probably interested enough to make much
of it.
All the best, Ed

Subject: Another perspective for Barry
Hi again,
I was a member of a Michael group for 12 years before I became a
channel, both in a non-paying status and as a paying student. (different groups)
The paid group met monthly, there were 4-5 of us and we asked personal
questions. This was an extremely worthwhile experience for me as it allowed me
to explore questions and not always have to schedule the more expensive 90
minute sessions. (I did those too when I felt I needed it or had very personal
questions which didnt seem to be best asked in a group) This particular study
group was one of 5 or so that the channel "Camille" from MMFM was hosting. She
also had classes which most of us went to and enjoyed very much. Beyond that, we
would get together socially, and for rituals.
It was a very positive experience.
I also have been a member of an on-going core Michael group where no
money is exchanged and that had an entirely different flavor. Here we asked
questions of more general interest, more cutting edge kind of material and new
Michael material based on the original teachings, but expanded. I am still a
member of that group as well, and enjoy it very much.
I think a combination is very practical. Different students are going
to have different needs and it good to try to respond to those. Here in Half
Moon Bay. we have monthly study groups where there is channeling and talk, a
drop- in monthly Michael chat, private sessions, workshops on Michael and
related topics and personal sessions. Some people do all of these, some like the
classes, some come just for the workshops. Others prefer to join us for non-
structured celebratory kinds of gatherings and thats great too.
When I was first a Michael student, I asked questions and waited for
the answers before I would take action on anything important. Thats changed for
me now, because while I still ask the questions, I also trust that I can make
god decisions myself. However, I have to say that I always find the overleaves
of people fascinating and helpful. More advanced students can work on the
figuring them out and then can ask Michael for validation.
So Barry, ask people what they need. My guess is that new students are
going to want some channeling, and maybe you can combine that with classes
etc...

Subject: Re: [m-t.] Earth Energy Past Few Days
Dear Christian -- I am not particularly sensitive or psychic, but I have felt
positive energy for a long time. I've been following the bulletin boards in AOL
on various new age related subjects for a couple of years, and I constantly
encounter there and elsewhere people who, possibly in the negative of artisan,
create all sorts of great cosmic reasons and explanations for why they have a
headache or feel weird. All I can say is that each one is a unique individual
having their own experience and creating whatever its meaning is.
On a very, very broad level it seems very clear to me that we are
experiencing an unprecedented planetray acceleration into love and light. The
Hindu cycle of yugas or the Mayan calendar cycle, both of which are based on the
25 or 26000 year cycle of the precession of the equinoxes -- but they disagree
as to where we are on the cycle -- give you an idea of what we are approaching,
as does the Christian "end times" idea, at least whatever the truth was
underneath all the negativity, fear and misunderstanding there. Jesus, who is
generally regarded as the source of the Course in Miracles, describes early in
that text how we learn so very much more when time collapses (as in a good hug)
-- when we manage to escape from our usual focus on our material time and space
situation, we can integrate and heal much more efficiently. This is what
"At-one-ment" is all about. This is happening, more and more, all over, in a big
way, whether or not you believe that or have a theoretical explanation. The
reality is that this process is happening, it is accelerating, more and more
people understand it and are joining the momentum, and one would be wise to have
a realist attitude about it.
This is going on and it impacts individuals in a multitude of ways, depending
on where you are on your path and what sort of sociocultural surroundings you
are in. It is very, very hard on baby souls or others who are heavily imprinted
with a baby-soul outlook or fear-based religion, for they feel they should
resist or stop these out-of-control changes. I'd say it is best to embrace it
with joy. We are all going to have a pretty good chance to be in our own "christ
consciousness" state within a few years. Never in history has there been so much
positive momentum or acceleration. If you tune into the rate of the
acceleration, and the way in which it multiplies as a mass- consciousness
phenomenon, it is easy (for me, anyway) to completely rationally, realistically,
practically expect that we are going to continue on into unprecedented positive
growth and change. It will be much easier to be "in essence" and in positive
poles and to live in love and without fear than ever before.
My advice then, would be to enjoy the ride and go full speed ahead toward
whatever your life's purposes are, and to clear out any old patterns of
inappropriate fear based on our historical experience, which is more and more
irrelevant with each new day.
Whatever is going on with "earth changes", I think that the Creator would
very clearly rather have us go through this change and experience growing into
it, than to trash the planet and wipe out the human population in a wholesale
way, as the doom-and-gloom types would expect. (I feel a certain responsibility
to counteract the negativity and fear-mongering that goes on under "earth
changes".) If the younger souls are going to be relocated to another planet
somewhere to continue their younger soul experience, which seems likely to me,
it does not follow that they have to be wiped out wholesale. It works better if
they each grow through this amazing time and after this life is over they can
decide in the astral plane as cadres (however it all works) whether to stay here
in an older-soul earth reality or to move to the new place.
Bear in mind we are likely to see the Infinite Soul coming in in some way in
the near future, too. It seems reasonable to me that Michael and other channeled
entities will not be able to understand the Infinite Soul manifestations or
predict them or have any accurate information to reveal. It does seem likely
that something awfully cool is coming up, though!
All the best, Ed

Coronal Mass Ejections on the rise.
See at: http://hesperia.gsfc.nasa.gov/sftheory/cme.htm
If you calculate the orbit of the earth and the number of CMEs we (earth) get
hit by far to many.
There has been an increase in activity lately.
The sun has been firing Coronal Mass Ejections our way on the 27 and the 29.
There has been others which the earth has passed through the trail of them after
they passed.
"GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO REACH MINOR STORM LEVELS ON 02 MAY IN
RESPONSE TO THE ANTICIPATED ARRIVAL OF AN M6/HALO CORONAL MASS EJECTION OBSERVED
ON 29 APRIL. CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN TO UNSETTLED LEVELS BY THE END OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD."
To see the results of this relatively minor CME and forecasts see:
http://www.sel.noaa.gov/today.html
Watch the weather as the atmosphere is pumped up by these pulses. See:
http://www.intellicast.com/weather/intl/worldsat/
There will be a lag effect on earthquakes and volcanoes as the core absorbs
these energy shock waves.
See current images of the sun.
http://umbra.nascom.nasa.gov/eit/eit_full_res.html
"As the sun begins to move toward the new solar maximum (predicted to peak
around the year 2000) it will naturally become more and more violent and will
generate more and more magnetic loops which produce both sunspots and Coronal
Mass Ejections {CMEs} which are magnetic loop systems that break away from the
sun and frequently travel earthward."

Dear Dick -- What I was getting at was that in comparison with the Infinite

can try to predict the infinite activities based on past experience and so can
Michael, but the Infinite isn't mechanical or predictable, except perhaps in its
