        <description><![CDATA[<span><i>Can we change the course of a disease?</i><br /><br />THERE IS A POINT OF NO RETURN. HAVE YOU NEVER MADE A SNOWBALL AND ROLLED IT ON AN INCLINE, AND WHAT WAS THE RESULT? AT THIS POINT THE PATIENT IS UNABLE TO HEAR THE ANSWER TO HIS PLEA — BUT ONLY IN THAT FINAL STAGE, WE MUST EMPHASIZE. JUST AS THE CHILD BENEATH [age] SEVEN IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CONNECTION THAT THE TALL, THIN GLASS HOLDS AS MUCH LIQUID AS THE SHORT, STOUT GLASS, SO THE TERMINAL PATIENT GOES.<br /><br /><span>SOURCE: Michael Teachings Transcripts</span></span>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<span><i>We talked about types of cancers.</i><br /><br />IT IS USUALLY AN ATTEMPT WITHIN THE TUMOR (then the tumor has a life of its own), AS DOES MUCH TISSUE OF THIS TYPE. YES, IT MUST BE GIVEN A FERTILE FIELD IN WHICH TO GROW. LET US GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE: THE TUMORS OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM ARE ESPECIALLY VIRULENT. MOST OF THESE COME ABOUT IN SOULS SLIGHTLY ASHAMED OF THEIR FECES, OR MORBIDLY CONCERNED WITH THE MECHANICS OF DEFECATION. THE CURATIVE SURGICAL PROCEDURE ONLY ENHANCES THIS CONCERN, AS DEFECATION IS EVEN MORE OBVIOUS AND IMPERATIVE TO THE SOUL. HE BECOMES MORE INTROSPECTIVE THAN EVER, AND MORE DEDICATED TO ELIMINATION THAN EVER. NOW WE ARE NOT SUGGESTING THAT YOU CEASE OPERATING UPON MALIGNANT TUMORS OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT, OR OTHER MALIGNANT TUMORS — ONLY THAT YOU LEARN TO COUNSEL EFFECTIVELY.<br /><br /><i>There must be spiritual reasons for this.</i><br /><br />OH, OF COURSE THERE ARE. THERE IS THE SPIRITUAL UNREST THAT ALL OF YOU EXPERIENCE, BUT THIS IS TRANSLATED AT A LOWER LEVEL INTO THE BODILY FUNCTIONS. IF THE SOUL IS UNABLE TO DEAL WITH THE SPIRITUAL LONGING, HE DEALS WITH THE INSTINCTIVE CENTERS’ LONGING. FOR INSTANCE, YOU IN THIS ROOM SEEK THE SPIRIT, WHILE MANY SOULS TRANSLATE THIS LONGING INTO INSTINCTIVE CENTER NEEDS — WARMTH, COMFORT, A FULL STOMACH, AND PASSIVE ENTERTAINMENT. THE INSTINCTIVE CENTER FUNCTIONS ONLY BECAUSE OF INTEREST WHEN THE OTHER CENTERS ARE INACTIVATED OR HAVE BEEN SATISFIED.<br /><br /><i>Is it possible to know the motive behind a tumor of the gastrointestinal system?</i><br /><br />ONLY IF YOU WERE WILLING TO SPEND THE NECESSARY TIME WITH EACH PATIENT — THAT IS TO, SAY, DEVELOP A CERTAIN LEVEL OF INTIMACY WITH THEM. THIS IS BEING DONE TO A LIMITED EXTENT IN THE HOLISTIC HEALTH CENTERS, BUT THERE AGAIN, HERE WE HAVE HALF-TRAINED PRACTITIONERS WITH MORE ZEAL THAN SKILL.<br /><br />THERE ARE EVEN MANY WAYS THAT YOU CAN SAY YOU CAUSED YOUR CANCER. THE PROCESS IS SOMETHING LIKE THIS: 1. I AM SAD; 2. I DON’T WISH TO GO ON LIKE THIS; 3. PLEASE HELP ME; 4. NO ONE CARES; 5. THERE IS NO ONE OUT THERE; 6. I WISH TO DIE; 7. I WISH TO SHOW THEM THAT THEY CANNOT DO THIS TO ME; 8. I WILL MAKE A MESS. AND WITH EACH LEVEL OF RECOGNITION OR LACK THEREOF THERE IS ANOTHER STEP. FOR INSTANCE, “I AM SAD” MAY BRING ON A COLD. IF RELIEF COMES, THAT IS ALL THAT IS NECESSARY. IF WE PROGRESS TO “I DON’T WISH TO GO ON LIKE THIS”, A VIRUS MAY SUPERVENE OF A MORE SERIOUS NATURE. “PLEASE HELP ME” MAY BRING ON A MORE DISABLING PROBLEM. “THERE IS NO ONE OUT THERE” OFTEN RESULTS IN A CHRONIC NATURE THAT BRINGS THE PATIENT INTO YOUR OFFICE TIME AND TIME AGAIN. “I WILL SHOW THEM’’ IS THE STAGE WHERE THE PATIENT DEVELOPS AN ILLNESS THAT MUST BE TAKEN CARE OF BY SOMEONE ELSE. “I WILL MAKE A MESS” IS OF COURSE THE LAST STAGE, WHERE OTHERS ARE FORCED TO DEAL WITH YOUR NASTIES. THE PATIENT WHO HAS REACHED THE “I WILL MAKE A MESS” STAGE HAS EXHAUSTED ALL ADULT PLEADING AND REGRESSES BACK INTO CHILDHOOD, WHERE NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT IS PREFERABLE TO NO REINFORCEMENT AT ALL.<br /><br /><span>SOURCE: Michael teachings Transcripts</span></span>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<span>MICHAEL:   We perceive that there are many concerns tonight involving the health and welfare of the body. Since this is the plane in which the body is the primary vehicle for experiencing creation, we understand your concern when it does not function as you believe it should.<br /><br />We will say this: Illness, debilitating elements such as accidents, chronic malfunctions, and other afflictions, are a part of human life. There is no one anywhere on this planet, and in fact anywhere in the whole of creation, who is totally free of the exigencies of the body. Some fragments are 'healthier' than others, it is true, but unless cut down in the prime of a very young adult life, there are many things that can and do go 'wrong' with the vehicle. As you are so prone to say: If it isn't one thing, it is another.<br /><br />Your medical science is obsessed with 'curing' everything from ingrown toenails to the Ebola plague. And rightly so. We do not disparage them for doing what they are trained to do. We do, however, suggest that it is the way of things for the human being to succumb eventually to something that will take him/her out of each lifetime, an event you know as the 6th internal monad.<br /><br />For the soldier on the receiving end of a bullet or bayonet, that monad might be a second long. For a woman afflicted with cancer, it could be many long agonizing months. Each event is part of the process of preparing for the final monad, the 7th, which is death itself.<br /><br />The monastic tradition of the Christian religion used these words from its scriptures in its burial service: In the midst of life we are in death. That is not sentiment only. That is the bald truth. For those who must watch and nurse a relative or friend through the 6th Internal Monad, it is not very reassuring to remember these things. They are, nevertheless, truths to live by.<br /><br />We do not wish to paint an unrelievedly shadowed picture for your contemplation tonight, but we would be remiss if we did not try to put these realities into perspective for you. The Teachings which we offer attempt to do just that.<br /><br />Life is a journey of experiences of the physical plane, all the experiences that can be crammed into one cycle. Taken together with the lives of all those who have gone before and who will come after you, it is as complete an experience of the physical plane as is possible to imagine. Further, each of these experiences of illness, loss, and grief, as well as the joys, bliss, and contentment of all your lives, go to fulfilling the reason for creation: to be a wholeness, the Being of the Tao. And each of you is a part of the Tao, just as each of us is also. You just have a very difficult time remembering that when brought face to face with the work of dying.<br /><br />If you choose to, take a step back from the dailyness, especially, of your connection with the frailty of the body and keep the goal of agape somewhere in your consciousness. That is not easy sometimes, we admit, and we grieve with you as you struggle to manage in this creation. We are here to guide and teach. We have been were you are now, so we know how much it takes to be human and we sincerely commiserate with your concerns. Life is a challenge and a joy, a work and a bliss. When things seem darkest, we hope you will remember these words and take some comfort from them.<br /><br /><span>Channeled by Nancy Gordon</span></span>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<span><i>Michael, why is the incidence of allergies of all sorts, notably peanut allergies, increasing, and what (if anything) can we do about it?</i><br /><br />MICHAEL: The physical plane has many corrugations in its surface. These ruts or ribs hide various elements that are inimical to your bodies.  We do suggest, however, that there really is no increase in the number of things that do not agree with some of you, only your ability to identify them.<br /><br />To say that allergies to certain things is on the increase is only to recognize that these dangers to some now have a name.  In past times many people suffered from these same elements without knowing what was distressing them.  As to what can be done, well, abstaining from those things which cause physical harm would seem to us to be an important beginning.<br /> <br />Sometimes allergies, especially to foods, are the result of past life experiences. But not all. Further, the bodies that you inhabit have come a long way from the one which was first ensouled around 65,000 years or so ago. Adaptation is not just among the hive-souled, you know. Your bodies have been adapting for thousands of years. And this adaptation will continue.<br /><br />Adaptation may seem to mean a positive adjustment, but that is not always what happens. Your foods have altered, your air is altering, your life energy is colored by many things. If you are made ill from peanuts or any other substance, then perhaps you should eschew peanuts as part of your life. <br /><br /><span>Channeled by Nancy Gordon</span></span>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<span><i>It seems to me that the dropout rate due to mental illness in esoteric schools is high. If we are to “spread the word”, we have to be mentally healthy. It seems if we were conscious, we could spread the word better then if we were asleep. I do not feel that I can help others until all my Centers are working correctly. My question is: Is there some advanced therapy that would enable a person to reach this state of awareness without going psychotic?</i>&nbsp;
</span><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span>OF COURSE, ONE MUST REALIZE THAT SPIRITUALLY- ORIENTED GROUPS OF PERSONS, WHERE ACCEPTANCE IS THE CARDINAL RULE, WILL ATTRACT MANY LONELY, MALADJUSTED PERSONS SEARCHING FOR REAFFIRMATION OF THEIR HUMANNESS, AND THESE PERSONS WILL NOT BE HELPED TO GROW SPIRITUALLY, BUT WILL BASK IN THE WARMTH OF THE ACCEPTANCE FOR A TIME, AND THOSE TRULY ON THE PATH WILL STILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE SICKNESS. THIS PHENOMENON IS CERTAINLY NOT UNUSUAL. IT IS ONLY THAT THESE GROUPS ARE FOUNDED UPON THE PRINCIPLES OF LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE, AND OFTEN THE MEMBERS FAIL TO CONFRONT EVEN THE MOST OBNOXIOUS BEHAVIOR IN THESE SPIRITUAL INTERLOPERS. WHAT IS APPARENT HERE IS THAT THESE PERSONS ARE NOT GOING TOWARD GROWTH AT ALL, AND ARE IN FACT ACTING AS BALLAST, AND MAKING THE PATH MORE DIFFICULT FOR OTHERS. THE THERAPEUTIC APPROACH MUST, YES, BE INDIVIDUALIZED TO CONFORM WITH THE ABNORMAL HABIT PRESENT. FIRST YOU MUST BE ABLE TO DIFFERENTIATE WHAT IS GOING ON. FOR INSTANCE, IS THE PERSON HAVING A NORMAL REACTION TO AN ABNORMAL SITUATION, OR AN ABNORMAL REACTION? THESE REQUIRE RADICALLY DIFFERENT THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES, AND THE RATE OF “CURE” IS HIGHER IN THE FORMER, CERTAINLY, THAN IN THE LATTER.&nbsp;</span></div><div><span><i><br /></i></span></div><div><span><i>It seems to me that a person on the path should not be lashing back at “sick people”. Is Michael inferring that we confront these obnoxious people?</i>&nbsp;
</span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span>BY THE THERAPEUTIC APPROACH, WE SPEAK OF THAT METHOD BY WHICH THE PERSON BECOMES STRIPPED OF THE TOUGH OUTER FIBERS OF THE FALSE PERSONALITY, AND BECOMES VULNERABLE TO OTHER DEMANDS OF ESSENCE. IT IS TRUE THIS PERSONALITY CANNOT LOVE. ONLY THE ESSENCE IS CAPABLE OF LOVING, AND ONLY WHEN ITS DEMANDS ARE MET WILL YOU LOVE. WE HAVE SUGGESTED TO YOU THAT THE WAY TO ACHIEVE THIS IS THROUGH GIVING UP THE PERSONALITY’S EXPECTATIONS OF THE EXPERIENCE — AND YOU ARE YET SCORNFUL OF THIS TRUTH. YET, IT GOES FAR DEEPER THAN THIS. WHEN YOU STRIP DOWN TO THE <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.michaelteachings.com/old_soul.html">OLD SOUL’S</a> PERCEPTIONS OF OTHERS — THAT IS, AS A PART OF SOMETHING: AND MAKE NOTE OF THAT “A PART” — ONLY A MINUTE PART OF SOMETHING GREATER WHICH INCLUDES SELF. ONLY WHEN YOU BECOME WILLING TO PART WITH YOUR ULTRA-PRECIOUS IDENTIFICATION [with personality] WILL YOU GLIMPSE THE TRUTH IN THIS.&nbsp;</span></div><div><span><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span><span>SOURCE: Michael Teachings Transcripts</span></span></div>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<span><i>What does Michael think about the mentally ill. Are they more sensitive to subtleties around them? What makes them talk to themselves, get paranoid, and have delusions? Do people suffering from multiple personality disorder exhibit past life personalities? </i><br /><br />There are more causes for what your current culture would deem "mental illness" than we can effectively cite within the limitations of this session. In most cases, however, the mentally ill are those fragments who suffer from either biological or neurochemical irregularities in the brain. Hypersensitive fragments exposed to environmental stress or severe psychological trauma can also exhibit signs of mental illness. <br /><br />In extremely rare cases, some fragments may possess psychic sensitivities so great that they are unable to discern between physical and astral realities. This chaotic blend of the two realms usually results in total madness.<br />Fragments who talk to themselves or experience delusions are usually just manifesting the inherent symptoms of their illness. On the other hand, those who have the ability to reach beyond the veil of the physical are often interacting with actual discarnates from the lower planes of the astral.<br /><br />While it's true that genetics can play a role in developing a mental illness, many fragments choose these lifetimes for the challenges they bring.  Certain kinds of mania can also boost levels of creativity and insight, and although choosing a lifetime like this could be considered walking on a tightrope, some artistic or scientific-minded souls have chosen such incarnations in hopes of giving themselves an edge.<br /><br />Multiple personalities, on the other hand, are often sub-personalities or conflicting parts of self that seek to express themselves. These are not actual fragments from a past life coming through, but shadows, if you will, of previous overleaves or certain aspects from past lives that haven't been thoroughly assimilated.<br /><br /><span>Channeled by David Gregg</span></span>]]>

I can’t figure out why they have headaches all the time.</i><br /><br />HEADACHES ARE REPRESSED EMOTIONS. MANY THINGS CAN BE SAID THROUGH THE PAINFUL HEAD. MOST FREQUENTLY A WEARINESS OF THE BODY COUPLED WITH A BORED, TRAPPED ESSENCE WILL PRODUCE THE WORST HEADACHE. YOUNG SOULS FREQUENTLY HAVE MIGRAINE HEADACHES. THEY DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UNDERSTAND THE TREADMILL THEY ARE ON. MATURE SOULS FREQUENTLY HAVE TENSION HEADACHES FROM BEING SURROUNDED BY UNCOMFORTABLE SOULS ALL DAY. MATURE SOULS IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH BABY SOULS AND MANY YOUNG SOULS TEND TO HAVE THE MOST FREQUENT AND SEVERE HEADACHES. YOU CAN TREAT THEIR HEADACHES BY HELPING THEM SEE THE SOURCE. WITH YOUNG SOULS, YOU CAN ONLY TREAT THE PAIN.<br /><br /><span>SOURCE: Michael Teachings Transcripts</span><br /></span>]]>
