People who were in concentration camps, would they not go into sudden Retardation? If you are one in Submission and suddenly inherit or come by a million dollars, could not this luck raise you to another level, such as Acceptance?

PEOPLE WITH REJECTION AS THEIR GOAL SET THEMSELVES UP FOR MISFORTUNE AND WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE A GREAT SPIRITUAL TEACHER IF ONE CROSSED THEIR PATH. EROTIC LOVE IS FULL OF REJECTION FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THIS AS THEIR GOAL. THEY AUTOMATICALLY CHOSE AN UNSUITABLE OBJECT AS THEIR LOVE OBJECT BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEY WILL ULTIMATELY BE REJECTED. FORTUNES HAVE BEEN LEFT TO PEOPLE WITH REJECTION AS THEIR GOAL, AND THESE FORTUNES HAVE BEEN QUICKLY MISHANDLED WITH BAD INVESTMENTS AND ILL-FATED VENTURES, OR SIMPLY “BLOWN”. ON THE OTHER HAND, PEOPLE WITH ACCEPTANCE AS THEIR GOAL HAVE MANAGED TO AVOID TORTURES QUITE SUCCESSFULLY; AND THOSE WITH GROWTH AS THEIR GOAL GREW SPIRITUALLY IN AUSCHWITZ. THE ONLY WAY THAT A GOAL CAN BE ALTERED IS BY CONSCIOUS RECOGNITION OF BOTH THE GOAL AND THE DESIRE TO ALTER IT WITH POSITIVE CHANGE AS THE RESULT.

YOU ARE RIGHT, OF COURSE: ALL GOALS [of ego] ARE ONLY INTERMEDIATE GOALS. (The [real, final] goal is awareness.)
THERE ARE OF COURSE PARALLEL VECTORS LEADING TO NOWHERE. MANY LEAD TO STAGNATION ON THE PHYSICAL PLANE, MANY TO INTENSE KARMIC RIBBONS. ONLY THOSE VECTORS LEADING INTO THE FLOW ARE PATHS THAT ARE WORTH FOLLOWING. THOSE WE HAVE SUGGESTED LEAD TO JOY, AND MOST TEACHINGS THAT WE ARE AWARE OF DO LEAD TO THIS. PARALLEL VECTORS ARE THE ILLUSION AND THE MISERY OF THE PHYSICAL PLANE. THE “VALE [valley] OF TEARS” THAT WAS POINTED OUT IN THE BIBLE DEFINES THE ROAD OBSCURED BY MAYA — THE MANIFOLD VECTORS OF THE CHOICES MADE BY THE [negative poles of the] OVERLEAVES. THE TROUBLE IS, THE CHOICES NEVER DO SATISFY THE ESSENCE, AND THERE IS ALWAYS INTERNAL WAR.

THE PHYSICAL PLANE REPRESENTS THE LOWEST STATE OF EXISTENCE. CALL IT “HELL”, IF YOU WISH — IT CERTAINLY FITS. THE ONLY CONCEPT WE WOULD DISAGREE WITH IS THAT THE FRAGMENTED ENTITIES DESIRE A SEPARATION FROM GOD [which they don’t]. THE LONGING [for union with God] IS ALWAYS THERE, EVEN THROUGH COUNTLESS MISTAKES OR POOR CHOICES. LOOK UPON THIS [physical plane] AS A PROVING GROUND, IF YOU WISH. LEARNING THAT THIS IS NOT THE PARADISE THAT YOU INITIALLY THINK IT IS, IS THE GIANT STEP YOU MUST TAKE IN ORDER TO PROGRESS SPIRITUALLY.
WE WOULD SAY THAT A CERTAIN CARELESSNESS ABOUT THE FUTURE IS QUITE A POSITIVE THING. ONE CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS, NO MATTER HOW SPIRITUAL THEY BECOME, AND ENDLESS SPECULATION LEADS TO NOTHING BUT DESPAIR. ONE SHOULD FEEL A SADNESS THAT THE PERSONALITY EXPERIENCES GUILT FOR ENJOYING THE MOMENT.

THE [negative poles of the] OVERLEAVES ACT AS AN EFFECTIVE BARRIER TO ANY REAL JOY, BECAUSE OF THEIR CONSTANT CONCERN WITH THE FAR-REACHING CONSEQUENCES OF ANY ACT IN THE MOMENT. GUILT IS A BUILT-IN FEATURE OF THE PERSONALITY. IT KEEPS YOU ON YOUR TOES. IT ALSO GEARS THE ENTIRE LIFE TO THE FUTURE. ALL ACTION IS BASED UPON FUTURE NEED MORE THAN IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION. THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT ALL OF THE PERSONALITY’S NEEDS AND DESIRES OF A TEMPORAL NATURE SHOULD BE GRATIFIED. [The balanced, centered person responds to the promptings of essence, not the needs of ego.] THE CONFLICT THAT YOU FEEL COMES ABOUT BECAUSE THE PERSONALITY DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT WANTS TO DO ALL OF THE TIME. THE ESSENCE DOES NOT HAVE THE CHANCE TO ACT IN THE MOMENT AND IT GOES TO SLEEP IN ORDER TO AVOID THE CONFLICT. THE FORCES OF “GOOD AND EVIL” THAT YOU FEEL FIGHTING WITHIN YOURSELVES ARE NOT THE ESSENCE FIGHTING THE PERSONALITY, BUT ARE THE OVERLEAVES FIGHTING EACH OTHER.
WE HAVE TOLD YOU ALL THAT THERE IS A WAY THAT YOU CAN USE TO PENETRATE THE VEIL — OR, TRULY, THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS THAT WE HAVE OUTLINED. ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO THAT WILL BRING YOU TO THE BRINK OF AN EXPERIENCE WITH THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF EXISTENCE WILL BRING YOU TO THE REALIZATION OF THE PATH THAT YOU MUST FOLLOW. THIS IS A FANCY WAY OF SAYING THAT YOU MUST HAVE SOME SORT OF A “PSYCHIC” EXPERIENCE THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO SEE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING OUT THERE — OR OUT HERE, IF YOU WISH. NOTHING ELSE WILL CONVINCE YOU THAT YOU HAVE CUT DEEPLY ENOUGH INTO THE MEAT OF THIS TEACHING OR ANY OTHER TEACHING. MANY STILL RESIST WITH BULLDOG TENACITY. NO TEACHING ANSWERS QUESTIONS THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO HAVE ANSWERED. YOU CAN ALWAYS OBSCURE ANSWERS AT WILL AND TAKE FROM THE TEACHING ONLY WHAT YOU NEED TO GET THROUGH YOUR PRESENT MISERY. ONLY BY EXPERIENCING THE TRUTH DIRECTLY WILL YOU BELIEVE AND CHANGE. THIS MEANS THAT YOU MUST SEE IT YOURSELF. WE CANNOT TELL YOU THAT IT EXISTS AND EXPECT YOU TO FEEL GRATIFIED. YOU MUST EXPERIENCE THIS. YOU MUST WANT TO BE CHANGED. SOME OF THE METHODS WE HAVE SUGGESTED IN THE PAST ARE VALID FOR YOU EVEN NOW, BUT THEY MUST BE UNDERTAKEN WITH POSSIBLE VICTORY IN MIND. THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF DEFEAT THAT MAKES MANY OTHERWISE GOOD STUDENTS FAIL AT THIS JUNCTURE. THEY SAY, IN EFFECT, IT HAS ALWAYS FAILED IN THE PAST AND IT WILL FAIL AGAIN. THE PERSONALITY DOES NOT WISH TO BE ENLIGHTENED.

THE SOUL MUST REVIEW THE KARMA INCURRED DURING THE IMMEDIATE PAST LIFE AND DETERMINE WHERE THE LESSONS LIE, THEN SET THE GOAL IN THAT LIGHT.

THIS IS TRUE OF ALL OF THE OVERLEAVES. IT [variation of Goals in different lifetimes] NORMALLY GIVES ALL SOULS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE ALL OF LIFE IN THE ROLES, WHICH ARE STATIONARY [don’t change]. IT [Role] DOES NOT HAVE QUITE THE SAME IMPACT AS IN THE OTHER OVERLEAVES; IT SIMPLY MEANS THAT THE SOULS IN ORDINAL ROLES TEND TO BE THE DOERS RATHER THAN THE SITTERS AND THINKERS [like the exalted Roles].

THE STAGNATION GOAL OFTEN OBSCURES THE ROLE.

SOME CHOOSE STAGNATION AND SIT OUT SEVERAL LEVELS IN A CYCLE — PLATEAUING-OUT ON LIFE — BUT THIS IS USUALLY AFTER SOME PARTICULARLY STORMY SESSIONS.

IN THIS CULTURE, ALMOST 90% OF THOSE WHO CHOOSE THE GOAL OF RETARDATION (reevaluation) ARE MILDLY TO SEVERELY MENTALLY DEFICIENT. THIS DEFICIENCY RANGES ALL THE WAY FROM PERCEPTUAL DISORDERS TO THE MORE SEVERE MANIFESTATIONS. CONGENITAL HEART DIFFICULTY IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE PHYSICAL RETARDATION, ALSO CHILDREN BORN WITH SENSORY DIFFICULTIES OF A SEVERE NATURE AND WITHOUT LIMBS.

EROTIC LOVE IS FULL OF REJECTION FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THIS AS THEIR GOAL. THEY AUTOMATICALLY CHOSE AN UNSUITABLE OBJECT AS THEIR LOVE OBJECT BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEY WILL ULTIMATELY BE REJECTED.

MOST SOULS IN REJECTION DENY ALL INTERNAL CAUSATION AND ONLY FIXATE ON THE EXTERNAL EVILS.

THE GOAL OF SUBMISSION SUGGESTS THAT THE SOUL INVOLVED WILL PERFORM MANY TASKS WHERE NO INNER DESIRE EXISTS, REGARDLESS OF HOW DISTASTEFUL THEY MAY BE TO THE SOUL, AS HE SEES IT, AS HIS ROLE IN LIFE [is] TO SUBMIT TO THE POWERFUL FORCES PINNING HIM TO THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. FORBEARANCE IS ONE OF THE HALLMARKS OF THIS GOAL. MANY WILL BEAR THEIR BURDENS IN VIRTUAL SILENCE SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY FEEL THAT IT IS BEYOND THEM TO CHANGE THEIR LOT, OR THAT THE LOSSES THEY MIGHT SUFFER FOR THEIR EMANCIPATION WOULD NOT BE WORTH THE GAIN IN INDEPENDENCE.

Could you add something to help understand the Submission Goal?

THIS GOAL DEMANDS THAT YOU NOT ASSERT YOURSELF, AND THAT YOU CONSTANTLY TAKE A BACK SEAT, DEFERRING TO THE OPINIONS OF THOSE AROUND YOU.

]]> https://www.michaelteachings.com/channeling/discussion/99/goal-of-dominance Mon, 20 May 2013 12:42:21 +0000 Goals ubiquitous 99@/channeling/discussions I would like some clarification on the goal of Dominance.

THE GOAL OF DOMINANCE SUGGESTS THAT THE SOUL INVOLVED WILL TEND TO TRY TO DOMINATE ALL LIFE SITUATIONS. IT IS MUCH DEEPER THAN THIS, HOWEVER, AND RESULTS IN FRUSTRATION IF THE OPPORTUNITY DOES NOT PRESENT ITSELF IN THE EARLIER CYCLES. THIS RESULTS IN WARS AND OTHER CONTROVERSIES OF A SERIOUS NATURE. THE GOALS ARE INTIMATELY LINKED WITH THE ROLES, SO THAT A DOMINANT KING NEEDS SUBJECTS TO RULE; THE DOMINANT SAGE REQUIRES AN AUDIENCE; THE DOMINANT SCHOLAR, A GROUP OF STUDENTS; THE DOMINANT SLAVE, A WILLING MASTER. SOME OF THE MOST FLAGRANT SADOMASOCHISTIC RELATIONSHIPS ARE ENGINEERED BY DOMINANT MATURE SLAVES.

MANY TIMES THE SOUL IN GROWTH IS FORCED TO PLAY OUT ALL OF THE AGONIES OF THE OTHER GOALS IN ORDER TO GROW, SUCH AS THE REJECTION-DOMINANCE SEEN OFTEN IN MANY MEMBERS OF THIS GROUP WHO ARE IN GROWTH. DEPRESSION AND ELATION USUALLY MANIFESTS OFTEN IN THIS GOAL. THERE IS SOMETIMES THE NEED TO SUBMIT, I.E., TO PUT ONESELF IN THE HANDS OF THE GURU. THERE ARE ALSO MANY TIMES THE NEED TO FEEL ACCEPTED, TO HAVE THE GOAL VERIFIED BY SOCIETY, TO CHECK OUT WITH LIFE THE SANITY OF THE SOUL’S PURPOSE. THIS OFTEN MAKES THE SOUL WHO IS STILL IN FALSE PERSONALITY GO THROUGH A SET OF WELL DEFINED PATTERNS. YOU CAN NOW BEGIN TO PHOTOGRAPH THESE PATTERNS IN ONE ANOTHER.

Do you go faster in a Goal of Growth? When is the Goal of Growth chosen? Is it because of karmic reasons that it is chosen?

IT CAN, OF COURSE, BUT IS USUALLY NOT DESIRABLE. THE GOAL OF GROWTH IS USUALLY CHOSEN TO COMPLETE A MONAD.

In the Goal of Growth, does one “review” all the other goals? It seems I’m in and out of all of them.

THE GOAL OF GROWTH CAUSES THE SOUL TO SEARCH, SOMETIMES RESTLESSLY, FOR THE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS OF A PHILOSOPHICAL AND RELIGIOUS NATURE ALMOST FROM THE TIME THE FIRST BREATH IS DRAWN. IN THE EARLY CYCLES, THIS SOMETIMES CAUSES GRIEF AND GUILT, AS THERE IS OFTEN A SPLIT WITH FAMILY MEMBERS OVER UNTENABLE VIEWS HELD BY THEM. THE “REVIEW” [of the other Goals] IS A PHENOMENON THAT WE BELIEVE TO BE UNIVERSAL IN THE OLDER CYCLES. WE SEE THIS IN ALL OF YOU, BUT FAR MORE PRONOUNCED IN THOSE IN GROWTH. THIS ENDLESS SEARCHING OFTEN PRODUCES BOTH ACCEPTANCE AND SUBMISSION; THEN WHEN THE FLASH COMES, THE STUDENT IN GROWTH OFTEN BECOMES TEMPORARILY DOMINANT IN ORDER TO SPREAD THE WORD HE HAS RECEIVED. THIS IS ENTIRELY NATURAL.

Am I in the Rejection part of Growth right now? I feel like no one likes me, or wants to be with me, etc. I am almost paranoid about it.

YOUR FEARS THAT NO ONE OUT THERE LIKES YOU MIRRORS THE CYCLIC LOSS OF SELF-ESTEEM THAT ACCOMPANIES YOUR VIOLENT MOOD SWINGS. YES, THIS IN PART DUE TO THE MODE, AND IN PART DUE TO THE CENTER, IN WHICH YOU ARE TRAPPED. SOULS IN GROWTH DO EXPERIENCE THE FEAR OF REJECTION WHERE SOULS IN SOME OF THE OTHER GOALS DO NOT, BUT SOULS IN GROWTH DO NOT OFTEN EXPERIENCE THE NEED TO REJECT — ONLY THE FEAR, AND THIS FEAR IS CERTAINLY CYCLIC. THIS IS ONE AREA IN YOU THAT COULD BE LOOKED AT. THE HIGH POINT IN THE CYCLE IS THE ONE TO HOLD UP AS A GROWTH AIM. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, YOU WILL NOT BE HYPER-MANIC, JUST JOYFUL, IF YOU ARE ABLE TO ATTAIN THIS AND REMAIN THERE. THOSE SOULS WITH BLAND OVERLEAVES CAN STAND TO LOOK AT THEIR EXPERIENCES OF JOY, AND PERHAPS TUNE IN MORE THAN THEY ARE NOW DOING. MOVING CENTERED SOULS OFTEN TURN OFF OR TUNE OUT THESE EXPERIENCES THAT ARE POTENTIALLY EMOTIONALLY LOADED.

SOURCE: Michael Teachings Transcripts]]> https://www.michaelteachings.com/channeling/discussion/94/goal-of-acceptance Mon, 20 May 2013 12:08:42 +0000 Goals ubiquitous 94@/channeling/discussions Does “Acceptance” mean that a person accepts everything around him, or does he work to get others to accept him?

ACCEPTANCE AS A GOAL CAUSES THE SOUL INVOLVED TO GO THROUGH VARIOUS MACHINATIONS IN ORDER TO FIND THEIR SPECIAL NICHE IN LIFE. THIS ALSO IN TURN CAUSES THEM TO EXCUSE THE FAULTS OF OTHERS, SINCE THEY THEMSELVES RECOGNIZE THEIR OWN IMPERFECTIONS. THIS IS THE PROVERBIAL “NICE GUY”.

THE GOAL OF ACCEPTANCE IS IN ITSELF A POWERFUL EXALTED GOAL FROM WHICH SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT CAN SPRING. WITH THIS THERE IS NO NEED FOR A SWITCH IN OVERLEAVES — MERELY EXTINGUISHMENT OF THE NEGATIVE POLE, WHICH IN THIS CASE IS THE DESPERATE NEED TO BE ACCEPTED UNIVERSALLY BY OTHERS. IN EXCHANGE FOR THIS YOU COME INTO THE POSITIVE POLE, WHICH IS OF COURSE, THE UNQUALIFIED ACCEPTANCE OF OTHERS, JUST AS THE NEGATIVE POLE OF THE GROWTH GOAL INVOLVES TREMENDOUS SCATTERING OF ENERGIES AS THE SOUL RUSHES FROM SCHOOL TO SCHOOL SEARCHING FEVERISHLY FOR THAT ILLUSIVE “WAY”.
