Q. Seth has described 9 families of consciousness that exist in the universe. Is there any terminology in the Michael Teachings that would describe these families? For example, are these families actually cadres, entities, or maybe roles? 

SETH'S 9 FAMILIES OF CONSCIOUSNESS: Gramada - to found social systems; Sumafi - to transmit originality through teachings; Tumold - to heal, regardless of individual occupation; Vold - to reform the status quo; Milumet - to mystically nourish mankind's psyche; Zuli - to serve as physical, athletic models; Boreledim - to provide earth stock for species via parenthood; Ilda - to spread and exchange ideas; Sumari - to provide cultural, spiritual, & artistic heritage for species. 

MICHAEL: These families of consciousness are not attached to particular souls but provide a way to delineate foci for series of lifetimes for individual fragments. For example, you might have a series of four lifetimes focusing on reforming some aspect of society; you would then be drawing on a discrete consciousness called "Vold" here.

Those with a goal of growth are likely to be more concerned with their own process, but may be interested in serving others if that supports their growth.

Those with a goal of acceptance may serve others, especially in terms of helping others accept themselves, perhaps by simply being a loving presence for them, but will not tend to do as much in service as someone whose goal is on the action axis, submission or dominance.

Someone in acceptance is more likely to offer kind words, for example, in service, since acceptance is an expression axis goal.

Since growth and reevaluation are inspirational goals, people with these goals tend to serve others, if they have a service thrust, through inspirational means, wanting to help others with their own growth or reevaluation, for instance.

Spiritual growth is not the same as the goal of growth. Spiritual growth results from being in the positive pole of any overleaf, which allows for essence contact. The goal indicates the type of growth experiences a person tends to look for. With a goal of growth, you set up challenges and attempt to meet or overcome them. In acceptance, your emphasis is accepting what you cannot overcome or change. To truly overcome, accept, flow, discriminate, lead, devote, or reevaluate can contribute equally to spiritual growth.

I’d like to ask about the negative pole of Acceptance (Rejection). I’d like some information on Scholars and running — am I running away from a close relationship?

MOST SCHOLARS DO RETREAT FROM INTIMACY, YES, AND YOU ARE NO EXCEPTION. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOUR WORK ENTAILS TOLERATING REJECTION BEHAVIOR IN OTHERS. IN FACT, IT IS GOOD WORK FOR YOU TO DETACH YOURSELF FROM THE NEGATIVITY OF OTHERS. YOUR WORK NOW NEEDS TO BE DIRECTED TOWARD DEVELOPING YOUR OWN GOOD SPACE TO THE POINT WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT IT IS ALL RIGHT FOR YOU TO IGNORE THIS PLEA FOR REJECTION. YOU CAN WORK WITH YOURSELF IN THE AREA OF NOT EXPRESSING YOUR OWN NEGATIVITY. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU NEED NOT REACT AT ALL TO SOMEONE ELSE’S NEGATIVE SPACE. YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SIMPLY IGNORE IT. NO RELATIONSHIP THAT IS NOT BETWEEN BALANCED MAN CAN BE ONE HUNDRED PERCENT INTIMATE. SOME OF THE EXPECTATIONS PLACED UPON YOU IN THE PAST HAVE BEEN UNREASONABLE, AND YOU HAVE REACTED TO THEM IN THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD. NOW YOU ARE COMING TO THE SPACE WHERE YOU CAN VERBALIZE THAT WITHOUT DIFFICULTY. YOUR CONCERN NEEDS TO BE WITH YOUR OWN GROWTH, AS THOSE AROUND YOU NEED TO BE CONCERNED WITH THEIRS. THE DEGREE OF INTIMACY THAT YOU ALLOW WILL GROW WITH YOUR TRUST LEVEL: AS IT GOES UP, YOU WILL ALLOW MORE INTIMACY. SCHOLARS ARE NOT GENERALLY THE MOST INTIMATE OF SOULS.

IT CERTAINLY CAN BE IF ONE WISHES TO BE CREATIVE FROM AN INNOVATIVE STANDPOINT.

YOU ALL EXIST IN A STATE OF LOVE, IT IS MERELY THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT WHICH IS DENIED. WE WILL AMEND OUR PREVIOUS STATEMENT TO SAY LOVE RECOGNIZED, ACCEPTED AND ACKNOWLEDGED WITH ONE IS LOVE OF ALL. THAT IS AGAPE. YOU REFUSE FOR VARIOUS REASONS TO KNOW WHEN YOU ARE LOVED. THEREIN LIES THE DILEMMA. OFTEN IT MUST BE AN INTENSELY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE BEFORE IT CAN GROW AND ENVELOPE ALL OF LIFE; WHICH OF COURSE ALREADY LIES AWAITING YOUR LOVE. AWAKE TO THE REALITY, OR RATHER THE TRUTH, OF THE ONENESS OF ALL THAT LIVES.

THE ROLES ARE OF COURSE RETAINED ON THE LOW ASTRAL PLANE, WHERE THE SOULS REMAIN SEPARATE. AS THE INTEGRATION BEGINS TO TAKE PLACE, THE ROLES BECOME MORE AND MORE BLURRED, UNTIL THEY ARE DISSOLVED, OR BETTER YET, RESOLVED, ON THE HIGH ASTRAL PLANE. THEY ARE NOT TRANSCENDED HERE, BUT THE MEMORY OF THEM IS RETAINED. IF YOU LIKE, YOU CAN COMPARE IT TO A RACIAL MIXTURE WHICH EVENTUALLY LEADS TO ASSIMILATION. YOUR OBSERVATION IS VALID EXCEPT FOR THE JUDGMENT ABOUT IT. THERE IS A GREAT DIFFERENCE IN THE POWER, BUT IT CANNOT ALWAYS BE EQUATED WITH A HIGHER SPIRITUAL BEING.

IF THIS PLANET WERE ENTIRELY POPULATED BY KINGS, PRIESTS AND SAGES, THERE WOULD BE LITTLE PROGRESS — MUCH LEADERSHIP, RELIGION AND ORATORY, BUT NO PROGRESS.

YES. BOTH ARTISAN AND SAGE APPROACH LIFE ARTISTICALLY AND WITH MUCH INNOVATION AND ORIGINALITY, SOMETIMES WHIMSICALLY, THE ARTISAN MANUALLY AND THE SAGE VERBALLY, THE ARTISAN THROUGH INSTINCT AND THE SAGE THROUGH INNATE WISDOM.

THE WARRIOR APPROACHES LIFE WITH VIGOR, AS DOES THE KING, BOTH WITH TREMENDOUS VITALITY — NOT MUCH ANALYSIS BUT MUCH NEED TO FORGE AHEAD. THE KING MANIFESTS A TREMENDOUS NEED TO LEAD OTHERS. THE WARRIOR, WHILE OFTEN AN EXCELLENT LEADER BECAUSE OF THE INSTINCTIVE DRIVE, CAN BE A SOLITARY FIGHTER FOR A CAUSE. WE ALMOST HATE TO SAY THAT THE WARRIOR FACES LIFE COMBATIVELY, BUT THAT IS ESSENTIALLY VALID.

BOTH THE PRIEST AND THE SLAVE FACE LIFE IN A SERVILE MANNER, THE SLAVE WITH A DESIRE TO WAIT UPON MAN, THE PRIEST WITH THE DRIVE TO WAIT UPON THE GODS. BOTH MAY MANIFEST THIS AS TIRELESS SERVICE TO MANKIND.

Can you compare a King in lower cycles [soul ages] to that of one in a higher cycle?

THE MAN, SAMUEL [Goldwyn], WAS A SECOND LEVEL YOUNG KING. THE YOUNG KING IS USUALLY “FLASHY”. THE OLD KING REGARDLESS OF GOAL IS USUALLY KNOWN FOR ALTRUISM AND EXCELLENCE IN LEADERSHIP, OFTEN MAGNANIMOUS AND WITH A READILY DISCERNIBLE AURA OF GREATNESS. (We asked for examples and the answer came at the end of this transcript.)

THERE IS A MARKED DIFFERENCE. FOR INSTANCE, SAMUEL GOLDWYN WAS A KING IN ACCEPTANCE. THE PRIEST IN ACCEPTANCE SEEKS TO PROVIDE ALL THOSE AROUND HIM WITH A MODICUM OF SPIRITUAL COMFORT. MOST OF THE TIME THIS COMES OUT AS SYMPATHY IN THE LOWER CYCLES. THE KING IN ACCEPTANCE MAKES THOSE AROUND HIM CONTENT BY PROVIDING SOME FORM OF EXCITEMENT AND A DISPLAY OF LEADERSHIP THAT IS FOR THE MOST PART “DISPLAY” IN THE EARLY CYCLES. NORMAN VINCENT PEALE WAS A PRIEST IN ACCEPTANCE.

SAGES ARE FAR MORE EXUBERANT [than Artisans], EVEN THOSE IN REJECTION. SAGES IN ORDINAL GOALS SOMETIMES ARE OBNOXIOUS. THIS PRODUCES MANY MARTYRS, NEEDLESSLY, PARTICULARLY WITH SAGES IN SUBMISSION.

THERE IS A CERTAIN AURA OF NOBLE TRANQUILLITY PRESENT IN KINGS THAT IS NOTABLY LACKING IN WARRIORS. THE KING COMMANDS RESPECT BY HIS PRESENCE ALONE, THE WARRIOR OFTEN BY FORCE OF PERSONALITY. WARRIORS ARE GENERALLY MUCH MORE LOUD. KINGS NORMALLY SPEAK SOFTLY. THIS KING HAS A REGAL BEARING, AND IT IS THEIR DYNAMIC PERSONALITY THAT ATTRACTS. THE FOLLOWERS OF KINGS ARE LOYAL TO A GREAT DEGREE, AND IT DOES NOT DEPEND USUALLY ON THEIR AGREEMENT WITH THE CAUSE. MANY WHO FOLLOWED ALEXANDER [the Great] TO BATTLE DID NOT AGREE WITH HIM, BUT WOULD HAVE FOLLOWED HIM INTO EXILE JUST AS WILLINGLY. WARRIORS CAN ONLY LEAD AS LONG AS THEIR CAUSE IS A POPULAR ONE.

I find that I [an Artisan] have a hatred toward Dominant Warriors, I am attraction to female Kings, but do not care for male Kings in Dominance. I am attracted to Sages, neutral toward Priests and Artisans, and look down on Slaves.

THERE IS A NATURAL AFFINITY FOR THE ORDINAL AND EXALTED ROLES: I.E., SAGES AND ARTISANS ARE GENERALLY ATTRACTED TO ONE ANOTHER, AS ARE PRIESTS AND SLAVES, WARRIORS AND KINGS. THESE ROLES NATURALLY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER, AND GOOD TEAMWORK CAN RESULT. THE SAME GOES FOR THE [complementery] GOALS [and other overleaves]. THE GENDER [distinction] SHOULD BE NEGATED [as you grow spiritually].

MOST ORDINAL ROLES WHO HAVE DOMINANT GOALS CAN BE BACKED INTO A CORNER BY ANY EXALTED ROLE WHETHER OR NOT THE GOAL IS DOMINANT. EVEN DOMINANT WARRIORS CAN BE DOMINATED BY ACCEPTING OR SUBMITTING KINGS [Acceptance and Submission being the most passive Goals]. THERE IS SOMETHING PATHETIC ABOUT A KING IN RETARDATION. IT REMINDS ONE OF A PEACOCK WHO HAS BEEN IN A HAILSTORM.

FIRST YOU MUST WISH THIS. MOST SCHOLARS HAVE LITTLE REGARD FOR EMOTIONAL ENTANGLEMENTS, UNLESS THEY HAPPEN TO BE EMOTIONALLY CENTERED. MOST SCHOLARS WOULD PREFER NOT TO BE BOTHERED WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT GOES ALONG WITH THESE INTRIGUES. THE WAY YOU CAN HANDLE IT IS TO BECOME BALANCED, AND THUS COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE EMOTIONAL CENTER AND LEARN TO CONTROL THE OUTPUT. RIGHT NOW THERE IS SPORADIC HIGH OUTPUT WITH LITTLE INSIGHT — IT RESEMBLES VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS.

THERE WAS A RELATIONSHIP IN THE BEGINNING WHEN SRI KRISHNA BROUGHT THE LOGOS TO BEAR. THIS HAS SINCE BECOME BLURRED BY AMBITION AND MATERIAL DESIRES.

They suppose that Slaves are born to Slaves. What we have here is, everyone has parents in a different Role.

THIS IS WHERE THE MISINTERPRETATION ARISES. LOOK AT THE HEREDITARY MONARCHIES. ONLY TWO MONARCHS IN RECENT TIMES HAVE BEEN KINGS: ELIZABETH THE FIRST AND JAMES THE FIRST.

SOURCE: Michael Teachings Transcripts]]> https://www.michaelteachings.com/channeling/discussion/83/brief-descriptions-of-the-roles Mon, 20 May 2013 00:13:44 +0000 Roles ubiquitous 83@/channeling/discussions THE SLAVE IS A SERVICE ROLE IN A MENIAL SENSE. HOWEVER, IT IS POSSIBLE TO EXPERIENCE ALL OF LIFE WITHIN THIS FRAMEWORK. THE SLAVE WILL ALWAYS LOOK RATHER WOEBEGONE REGARDLESS OF STATION IN LIFE AND WILL APPEAR POOR REGARDLESS OF MATERIAL WEALTH. THE MANIFESTED SLAVE MAKES A GOOD BUT BUSY HOST AS THEY WORRY ABOUT THE COMFORTS OF THOSE AROUND. THE SLAVE IN ESSENCE IDENTIFIES WITH THE WRONGS OF HUMANITY AND TRIES TO BRING COMFORT IN A MATERIAL SENSE TO MANY. THE PRIEST IS THE SLAVE EXALTED. THE PRIEST IS BORN WITH A SENSE OF GOD-CONSCIOUSNESS OR “OTHER WORLDLINESS.” THE PRIEST IN ESSENCE CHOOSES A LIFE ROLE WHERE IT IS POSSIBLE TO BRING COMFORT TO MANY IN A SPIRITUAL SENSE.

THE WARRIOR IS A LEADERSHIP ROLE. THE WARRIOR LEADS INSTINCTIVELY. THERE IS AN INNER DRIVE TO LEAD. THE WARRIOR IS PURPOSEFUL IN VOICE AND ACTION, OFTEN POWERFUL PHYSICALLY EVEN THOUGH SMALL IN STATURE. THE KING IS THE WARRIOR EXALTED. THESE SOULS LEAD THROUGH INNER KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY WERE MEANT TO LEAD. THEY, LIKE THE WARRIORS, ARE REGAL IN APPEARANCE REGARDLESS OF SIZE. THE KING COMMANDS YOUR INTEREST WHEN HE WALKS IN THE ROOM. THE MANIFESTED KING IS ALWAYS THE DOMINANT PARTNER IN ANY RELATIONSHIP, WHETHER SEXUAL OR PROFESSIONAL, AS IS THE MANIFESTED WARRIOR. THIS RESULTS IN MANY DIVORCES AND OTHER BROKEN CONTRACTS IN EARLY MIDDLE AGE FOR BOTH.

THIS IS AN INTERMEDIATE ROLE WHERE REASON AND LOGIC ARE THE FOUNDATIONS UPON WHICH LIFE IS BUILT. WE DID NOT SAY THAT SCHOLARS WERE EMOTIONALLY BEREFT, JUST A LITTLE MORE DISCREET ABOUT DISPLAYING. SOME SCHOLARS ARE BORN INTO EMOTIONAL CULTURAL ENVIRONMENTS AND DISPLAY MORE EMOTIONALITY THAN THE AVERAGE SCHOLAR, BUT STILL DO NOT APPROACH THE SHEER EMOTIONAL EXTRAVAGANCE OF OTHER ROLES SUCH AS PRIESTS AND SAGES.

More information on roles

THERE ARE SEVEN MAJOR ROLES IN ESSENCE. THESE ARE CHOSEN AT THE TIME THE ENTITY IS FIRST “BORN”, OR CAST FROM THE TAO, AND FOLLOWED THROUGHOUT. IT IS POSSIBLE TO EXPERIENCE ALL OF LIFE WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THESE ROLES. THEY ARE: SLAVE, WARRIOR, ARTISAN, SCHOLAR, SAGE, PRIEST, AND KING.

JUST AS THE LEVEL OF SOUL MANIFESTS INWARDLY AS PERCEPTION, SO THE MAJOR ROLE IN ESSENCE MANIFESTS OUTWARDLY IN ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIOR.

THE PRIEST IS THE SLAVE EXALTED. THESE ROLES EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN SERVICE TO MANKIND: HUMANITARIAN IDEALS. IN THE PRIEST, THERE IS A SENSE OF GOD-CONSCIOUSNESS, OTHERWORLDLINESS. PHYSICIAN CAN BE IN ESSENCE FOR EITHER SLAVES OR PRIESTS, AS CAN SOCIAL WORK, NURSING, AND THE CLERGY.

THE SAGE IS THE ARTISAN EXALTED. THESE ROLES MANIFEST THROUGH SELF-EXPRESSION. ARTISANS BRING TO LIFE FRESHNESS AND ORIGINALITY; SAGES INNATE WISDOM AND SAGACITY.

THE KING IS THE WARRIOR EXALTED. THESE ROLES EXPRESS THEMSELVES THROUGH LEADERSHIP AND THE ABILITY TO INFLUENCE MOTIVATION. THE KING TAKES CHARGE THROUGH KNOWLEDGE AND INHERENT POWER; THE WARRIOR THROUGH AN INSTINCTIVE DRIVE.

THE SCHOLAR IS AN INTERMEDIATE ROLE. HE IS AN OBSERVER RATHER THAN A PARTICIPANT. ALL OF LIFE IS VICARIOUS RATHER THAN EXPERIENTIAL, REGARDLESS OF THE CYCLE OR GENDER OF THE SOUL. NO SCHOLAR WILL EVER BE “GUSHY”, NO MATTER HOW YOUNG A SOUL. ENTHUSIASM CAN BE GENUINE, BUT WILL BE SUBDUED. ALL REACTIONS ARE LOW KEY: GRIEF, JOY, PAIN, PLEASURE. THE OLD SCHOLAR IS DETACHED, ALOOF, AND OFTEN ARROGANTLY INTELLECTUAL.

ELIZABETH I WAS A KING. SHE WAS THE GREATEST OF ALL OF THIS WORLD’S LEADERS. JULIUS CAESAR WAS A WARRIOR, BUT A MATURE SOUL. AUGUSTUS CAESAR WAS A SAGE AND TIBERIUS A SCHOLAR. ALEXANDER THE GREAT WAS A KING, BUT A YOUNG SOUL. MARCUS AURELIUS WAS AN OLD SCHOLAR -- A GREAT PHILOSOPHER, BUT A POOR LEADER. RICHARD NIXON IS A SCHOLAR, BUT A BABY SOUL. HENRY KISSINGER IS A YOUNG SOUL SCHOLAR. GOLDA MEIR IS A YOUNG WARRIOR; SO IS MAO TSE-TUNG. JOHN KENNEDY WAS A YOUNG KING. FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT WAS A MATURE SAGE; THEODORE ROOSEVELT, A YOUNG WARRIOR; AND WOODROW WILSON, A MATURE SCHOLAR.

NOT IN ESSENCE. HOWEVER, THE LIFE ROLE OFTEN BEARS LITTLE RELATION TO THE ESSENCE ROLE, AND IF FALSE PERSONALITY IS FIRMLY IN COMMAND IT WILL ALMOST BE IMPOSSIBLE TO DETECT THE ESSENCE ROLE. ON A PERSONAL LEVEL OTHERS CAN OFTEN DETECT THE FACADE AND THE UNDERLYING ROLE BEFORE THE STUDENT CAN.
