Someone had died, that _____ loved very much. He took his prize possessions and piled them against an old shed in the alley, and set them on fire, but the fire did not consume them. The last thing placed on the fire was the thing he loved most — a beautiful Victorian night stand covered in red velvet. Was this a recall dream?

GETTING IN TOUCH WITH PAST LIVES IS OFTEN VERY EMOTIONAL. AT THIS TIME THE ESSENCE IS BOMBARDING THE PERSONALITY WITH THESE LESSONS FROM THE PAST. THE ESSENCE OFTEN APPEARS TO OVERDO. THE PERSONALITY’S ONLY RECOURSE IS TO INTERPRET THIS AS THE PRESENT, AND ATTEMPT TO PLACE THESE EXPERIENCES WITH THE FEELING OF THE DAY THAT WILL “HAPPEN” TO COINCIDE WITH THE EVENTS OF THE DREAM. IN THIS CASE, THE STUDENT IS GAINING MUCH, AND IN A WAY HIS GAIN MUST CATCH WITH THE PERSONALITY. THE TAPES WILL PLAY EVEN DURING SLEEP. THE PERSONALITY WILL RELATE THE DREAM, AND GRADUALLY ASSIMILATE THE FACTS THAT THE ESSENCE IS FEEDING IT. THE PERSONALITY HAS THE UPPER HAND. EVEN IN SLEEP IT HAS BEEN TRAINED TO DO SUCH. WHY EXPECT LESS? THE EMOTIONS ARE THE PERSONALITY’S ONLY WAY OF RECOGNIZING THE PREVIOUS LIVES THE ESSENCE IS NOW FREE TO PERMIT TO COME THROUGH. THE STUDENT’S PROGRESS IS ONLY MEASURABLE BY HIS PERSONALITY IN THE EMOTIONAL TERMS. THIS STUDENT IS LEARNING TO COMMIT THE PERSONALITY TO GROWTH, AS WELL AS THE FINANCES. THIS STUDENT IS, AT THIS POINT IN TIME, ATTEMPTING TO DECIDE THE OUTCOME OF THIS GROWTH. THIS STUDENT IS THE EPITOME OF THE NEWNESS OF THE PERSONALITY FINDING A NEW TOY THAT IT CAN PLAY WITH, AND THEN DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH. THE PERSONALITY DOES NOT VIEW THE ESSENCE AS SERIOUS AT THIS TIME. YOUR PERSONALITY DOES NOT UNDERSTAND, NOR CHOOSE TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO UNDERSTAND, THE GROWTH THAT THE ESSENCE IS DOING. THE ESSENCE VIEWS THE PERSONALITY AS IT ALWAYS DOES: THAT IS, AS THOUGH IT IS THE ONLY STUMBLING BLOCK IT HAS TO OVERCOME. THE PERSONALITY HAS, SO FAR, IN THIS LIFE, AVOIDED THE CHOICE TO FEEL THE ESSENCE AND EXPERIENCE THE GROWTH. HAVE IT THIS WAY, IF YOU MUST. THE PERSONALITY WILL NOT “WIN” — THE ESSENCE WILL, WHETHER THE PERSONALITY WANTS IT TO OR NOT. YOUR PERSONALITY AT THIS TIME IS TRYING TO DECOY THE ESSENCE AND IS FAILING MISERABLY. THE PERSONALITY WILL PULL EVERY TRICK IN THE BOOK. YOUR PERSONALITY IS ALLOWING THE ESSENCE ONLY THE EXPRESSION THAT THE PERSONALITY WANTS IT TO HAVE. THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE UNDERTAKEN IS GOOD AND VERY DIFFICULT, YES. THE OVERWHELMING FEELINGS WILL CEASE AS YOU GET IN TOUCH WITH THE EMOTIONS, AND THE DECOY THAT THEY INVOLVE. THE CRITICAL POINT IS TRUSTING THE ESSENCE. GETTING IN TOUCH WITH YOUR EMOTIONS REALISTICALLY IS NEW FOR YOU. THE NEXT TIME YOU MEDITATE WE WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU TRY THE SUBJECT OF THE PERSONALITY AND ITS DECOYS. THE PERSONALITY SOMETIMES GETS DISTRACTED LONG ENOUGH FOR RECALL TO ESCAPE THE EDITING. THE ESSENCE IS NOT CONSTANTLY SENDING RECALL MEMORIES TO THE PERSONALITY. THIS IS NOT THE SOLE MOTIVATION OF THE ESSENCE. THE ESSENCE SEEKS FREEDOM, AND LONGS FOR THE PERSONALITY TO BE FREE ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE ESSENCE EXPRESSION, YES. THE ESSENCE, IN OTHER WORDS, IS ALWAYS TRYING TO GET THROUGH THE MAYA, IMPRINTING, AND THE FALSE THINGS IT HAS TO PUT UP WITH AT THE BATTLE WITH THE PERSONALITY. THE ESSENCE WILL SEEK EXPRESSION ALWAYS. BUT HOW OFTEN DO YOU OPERATE IN THE ESSENCE?

Are they ready for that now? Should we ask specific questions?

THERE IS NO NEED TO ASK SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. WE WOULD THINK YOU WOULD EXAMINE YOUR VARIOUS REASONS FOR EVADING THIS PARTICULAR QUESTION. IT IS AN INTERESTING PHENOMENON. WE HAVE TOLD YOU BEFORE THAT THOSE OF YOU NOW ON THE PHYSICAL PLANE, AND OTHERS WHO HAVE LIVED WITHIN THE PAST THREE DECADES, AND EVEN PERHAPS MOST OF THOSE WHO LIVED IN THE PAST FIVE DECADES, AND ALL THOSE WHO WILL LIVE AGAIN IN THE NEXT TWO DECADES, HAVE ALL LIVED DURING WHAT EACH CHOOSE TO CALL THE “CARDINAL POINTS” OF THESE CYCLES. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU HAVE LIVED DURING THE CENTURIES IN WHICH THE MOST SWEEPING CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED: PHILOSOPHICALLY, SPIRITUALLY, CULTURALLY, AND SCIENTIFICALLY. FIVE OF YOU WERE PRESENT IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA IN EACH INSTANCE WHEN THE INFINITE SOUL MANIFESTED ON THIS WORLD. THOSE FIVE KNEW EACH OTHER WELL, AS THEIR LIVES WHERE INTERWOVEN AT THE TIME. ALL OF YOU HAD ACCESS TO THE WORDS THEN, AND AT THE TIME OF THE LAST MANIFESTATION [Jesus]. ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE OCCULT BROTHERHOOD IN THE CRADLE OF ITS EXISTENCE, THREE OF YOU BECOMING INITIATES BUT NEVER ADEPTS. ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN, AT ONE TIME, ASSOCIATED WITH THE EDUCATION OF YOUTH AT A TIME WHEN THERE WERE SWEEPING PHILOSOPHICAL CHANGES. ALL OF YOU HAVE THIS IN COMMON. YOU DID NOT LISTEN. WE HAVE MORE.

Is Michael speaking of those people present in the room this evening, or of the entire group?

WE REFER TO MEMBERS OF THIS CADRE WHICH INCLUDES SOULS NOT IN THIS ROOM.

FOUR OF YOU HEARD THE WORDS OF SOCRATES: TWO FROM HIS STUDENT, PLATO, AND TWO FROM HIM. SIX OF YOU KNEW THE MAN, JESUS, IN HIS CHILDHOOD. TWO OF YOU KNEW HIM WELL, BUT WHEN WORD CAME OF HIS TEACHING, IT WAS DISCOUNTED.

MANY OF YOU, HOWEVER, HAD NAGGING DOUBTS THAT CARRIED OVER INTO OTHER LIVES THAT KEPT YOU SEARCHING. MOST OF YOU HAVE SEARCHED UNCEASINGLY FOR THE ANSWERS, AND ALL OF YOUR LIVES HAVE BEEN TIED UP WITH THIS EXPRESSION OF LOSS SINCE THAT TIME. FIVE OF YOU WERE WITH ALEXANDER [the Great], AND CAME CLOSE TO A VISION OF UNITY AND WORLD GOVERNMENT UNDER A MAN WHO EXPRESSED LESS NEGATIVITY THAN ANY OTHER RULER SINCE THE CIVILIZATION BEGAN ON THIS WORLD. FOUR OF YOU SERVED UNDER THE LEGIONS OF ROME, AT THE TIME WHEN ANOTHER VISION OF PEACEFUL WORLD DOMINION WAS TAKING PLACE. HISTORY, AT LEAST THE WRITTEN CHRONICLES, OFTEN LACK MUCH IN THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE WHICH THEY CHRONICLED.

ALL OF YOU NOW HAVE THE CHANCE AGAIN TO HEAR THE WORDS, AND BE A PART OF THE MANIFESTATION OF THE LOGOS; ALSO, A CHANCE TO SIT AT THE FEET OF THE MASTER. ALL OF YOU ALSO NOW HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A MOVEMENT TOWARD PEACEFUL WORLD DOMINION — THIS TIME WITHOUT THE BLOODSHED OF THE PAST. WE HAVE SAID THAT THIS PLANET WILL NOT BE DESTROYED. THAT IS TRUE, BUT WE DO NOT DISCOUNT THE POSSIBILITY OF A DEVASTATING, INTER-CONTINENTAL NUCLEAR WAR. THIS IS A VERY REAL ALTERNATIVE AT THE MOMENT. THE ONLY METHOD OF ESCAPE WILL BE THE CHOOSING OF ONE OF THE OTHER ALTERNATIVES. THIS ALSO CAN OCCUR AT THE MOMENT — NONE OF THEM MORE LIKELY THAN THE OTHER. AT THIS POINT IT DOES NOT REALLY MATTER: YOUR COURSE HAS ALREADY BEEN CHOSEN, AND YOU HAVE BEGUN TO CARRY OUT THE AGREEMENT THAT YOU MADE BETWEEN LIVES, AND IN THE PAST.

WHETHER OR NOT THE BOMB COMES, THERE WILL ALSO BE A PHILOSOPHICAL AND SPIRITUAL REVOLT, AND THAT HAS ALREADY BEGUN. THE BOMB CAN BE A TRULY FRIGHTENING POSSIBILITY TO THE PERSONALITY, ESPECIALLY THE ONES NOT INVOLVED. THE OTHER ALTERNATIVES TO THIS ARE NOT ALL ATTRACTIVE, EITHER, BUT ONE CERTAINLY IS. THIS CIVILIZATION HAS NOW EVOLVED TO THE POINT WHERE IT CAN, AS A WHOLE, BEGIN TO LOOK AT THE CONCEPT OF UNITY. BEFORE, THIS HAS ONLY BEEN A DREAM OF OLD VISIONARIES, AND NOT A POSSIBILITY. TRUE, IN THE PAST, THERE HAS BEEN ALWAYS BLOODSHED IN CONQUEST, EVEN THOUGH PEACEFUL INTERVALS FOLLOWED, DURING WHICH GREAT STRIDES WERE MADE. IN SPITE OF THE BLOODSHED, IN THESE PERIODS, THERE WAS LITTLE REAL ENMITY INVOLVED. THE MORALITY OF WAR WAS NOT QUESTIONED UNTIL THIS CENTURY. THINK ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU BECOME TRAPPED IN YOUR PESSIMISM, BECAUSE THIS IS THE GREATEST SINGLE STEP THAT YOUR CIVILIZATION HAS TAKEN. IT IS A SWEEPING MOVEMENT, ALSO, AND THERE IS HARDLY A MAN ALIVE TODAY WHO DOES NOT QUESTION IT. THIS HAS ALWAYS MEANT CHANGE IN THE PAST. WHEN THE QUESTION IS ASKED, THE ANSWER NORMALLY FOLLOWS CLOSE ON ITS HEELS. THE POSSIBILITY IS GREAT THAT THIS IS THE LAST GENERATION THAT WILL ACTUALLY CONSIDER ARMED WARFARE AS A SOLUTION TO ANY PROBLEM ON THIS PLANET. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN PESSIMISTIC ABOUT THE ABILITY FOR MAN TO CHANGE, BUT THIS IS TRULY A GIANT STRIDE. THE QUESTION IS SIMPLY THAT IT WAS NOT POSED BEFORE, AND IT WAS NOT OFFERED THAT THERE WAS ANY OTHER WAY. THOSE WHO WENT INTO GAUL FOR THE LEGIONS OFTEN FELT [no] ENMITY FOR THOSE THEY CONQUERED, AND WERE JUST AS AVID ABOUT BUILDING UP AS THEY WERE ABOUT TEARING DOWN. THE SAME WAS TRUE IN THE TIME OF ALEXANDER. THERE HAVE BEEN EXCEPTIONS TO THIS, NOTABLY SCIPIO AFRICANUS AND HITLER. THEY DID HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF ENMITY TOWARD THOSE THEY CONQUERED AND DESTROYED. BOTH WERE DISSENBLED [sic] AND “MAD”. TODAY THERE ARE ALIVE TWO MEN WHO COULD CONCEIVABLY FIT THIS PATTERN, AND TRIGGER A GLOBAL HOLOCAUST. THIS IS ONE ALTERNATIVE; THE OTHERS: CONTACT WITH WORLDS BEYOND THIS ONE IS ONE — THIS WOULD PROVIDE THE SHOCK OF WHICH YOU HAVE SPOKEN; SPIRITUAL COMMUNITIES AND WIDESPREAD RESISTANCE IS ANOTHER.
