September 1973 - Michael Teachings Transcripts

February 13, 1974

My body seems to be changing lately. I would like some verification of this and any comments.

THE ESSENCE IS MORE IN CONTROL NOW, AND THEREFORE IS DIRECTING SOMEWHAT AGAINST THE DESIRES OF THE PERSONALITY. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A BEGINNING OF AVERSION FOR CERTAIN CRUTCHES. MORE WILL GO AS GROWTH PROGRESSES.

A brother of our babysitter died yesterday in a motorcycle crash. My wife wants me to ask if there is anything we can do or say to the family.

SOME REASSURANCE OF THE CONTINUITY IN A DETACHED MANNER WITHOUT EXCESSIVE SYMPATHY WOULD BE IN ORDER. MANY TIMES WHEN THE KNOWLEDGE SHINES THROUGH, THE LIGHT OFFERS MUCH COMFORT. SHE KNOWS NOW BEYOND THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT THAT SHE HAS LIVED BEFORE.

A question was asked concerning the Kabbalah.

THIS IS THE OCCULT COMPONENT OF THE JUDAIC THOUGHT. FOR THE MOST PART IT WAS VALID IN THE BEGINNING, AND HAS BECOME SOMEWHAT CORRUPTED WITH TIME, BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL KABBALISTS WHO ARE BONA FIDE BROTHERS. WE WOULD ADVISE THAT YOU NOT PLACE TOO MUCH IMPORTANCE ON ANY SYSTEM OF NUMEROLOGY THAT STRIVES TO EXPLAIN CERTAIN PURPORTED DIVINE NOMENCLATURE.

Could you comment on the art of palmistry?

SOME MEDIUMS ARE ABLE TO HOLD THE HAND OF ANOTHER AND THEREBY TRANSMIT ASTRAL INFORMATION. OTHERS ARE MERELY CHARLATANS.

It has been my feeling that the palm reader, tea leaf reader, crystal ball gazer, etc., all have the same talent in common but use different props. They are all picking up the information psychically.

THAT IS VALID.

Recently I have been seeing some of my women patients as men in women’s bodies. It is somewhat confusing.

THIS IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARD BEING ABLE TO ACCEPT THE GENDERLESS STATUS OF THE UNIVERSE. WHEN YOU CAN STOP ASSIGNING GENDERS, YOU WILL HAVE COME A LONG WAY.

I have the feeling that bisexuality is the norm rather than the exception and that our social values are just conditioned that way.

WE WOULD ACCEPT THAT, YES, IF ONE IS STILL INTERESTED IN THE PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE.

Today I had an experience which seemed to be a type of meditation. I’ve never meditated before, and would like a comment on my experience today.

YOU MUST LEARN TO LET GO OF THE IMAGES. JUST OBSERVE THEM AND LET GO. ANY MORE BORDERS ON CONCENTRATION, AND ANY CONCRETE THOUGHTS ON THE SUBJECT LEADS TO REFLECTION.

Robert Monroe describes meeting other intelligences during astral travel. They seem to be overwhelming. Please comment if these were true experiences.

ESSENTIALLY, EXCEPT THAT THE MAN, ROBERT (Monroe), CREATED THE IMMENSITY. ALSO HE FINDS IT STILL DIFFICULT TO CONFRONT CERTAIN ASTRAL REALITIES, AND PREFERS TO CREATE HIS OWN. HE IS, FOR THE MOST PART, AN EXCELLENT ASTRAL TRAVELER, BUT OTHER AREAS OF HIS SEARCH NEED MUCH WORK. YOU WILL BE OF HELP TO THIS MAN. THE HELP WILL BE RECIPROCAL. THE MAN, ROBERT MONROE, SENSES AN EXPERIENCE IS IN STORE FOR HIM, BUT DOES NOT KNOW THE SOURCE. THIS IS A MATURE PRIEST, A SPIRITUALIST.

I have been a [literal] priest so many times before, it was said, and yet I am an Artisan. Why or how can this be?

THE KINGS HAVE ALWAYS PICKED OUT THE ENEMY, THE SCHOLARS PLANNED THE SIEGE, AND THE WARRIORS THEN HAVE GONE IN WITH THE ACTION. IN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, FOR MANY CENTURIES ON THIS PLANET, THE CHURCH HAS BEEN THE DOMINANT EMPLOYER OF MAN.

I dreamed about a young girl who could levitate. Another woman explained this process to me and “how” to do it. Was I on the astral plane?

YOU WERE CONTACTING THE ASTRAL VEHICLES, YES, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE BODY. THE PHYSICAL SIGHT IS NOT NECESSARY, FOR THIS ASTRAL VISION SUFFICES, BUT YOU MUST LEARN TO INTERPRET WHAT YOU SEE.

MID ASTRAL ENTITIES HAVE ACCESS TO US, YES. WE ARE HERE TO TEACH ALL WHO WISH TO LEARN.

Why did not Jesus pick old souls for his disciples?

THE MOST FAITHFUL OF HIS DISCIPLES WERE AMONG THOSE WHO UNDERSTOOD THE LEAST. THERE WERE MATURE AND OLD SOULS BOTH IN ROME AND IN SYRIA, PALESTINE, WHO HEARD THE WORDS, BUT CHOSE NOT TO UNDERSTAND.

Someone questioned about being a Scholar and yet having an affinity for Warriors.

THERE IS A NATURAL AFFINITY BETWEEN THE SCHOLARS AND THE WARRIORS. THIS HAS BEEN ALWAYS. THE SCHOLARS HAVE ALWAYS MAPPED OUT THE ACTION AND HAVE SHOWN CONSPICUOUS VALOR ON ALL BATTLE FIELDS.

Is there any danger of losing landmarks while traveling astrally and not being able to find one’s body again?

YOU MUST LEARN TO INTERPRET WHAT YOU ARE SEEING AND REMEMBER THAT THE LANDMARKS ARE SO VERY DIFFERENT, AND THAT DISTANCE AS YOU KNOW IT DOES NOT EXIST ON THAT PLANE. IF THE BODY IS IN CENTRAL EUROPE AND YOUR ASTRAL VEHICLE IS IN CONTACT WITH ANOTHER, YOU MAY LOSE TRACK OF WHERE TO LOOK.

Please clarify what you mean.

NOT YOUR BODY BUT THE BODY OF THAT SOUL WITH WHICH YOU ARE IN CONTACT. THERE IS, OF COURSE, PROJECTION IN THE ASTRAL VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT ENTIRELY LEAVE THE PHYSICAL PLANE. YOU MUST LEARN NEW LANDMARKS IN ORDER TO ORIENT YOURSELF.

Could we be incarnated into past lives?

WE HAVE PROVISIONS FOR EXTENDED REVIEWS OF FAVORITE LIVES DURING THE ASTRAL INTERVAL. NO, TO YOUR QUESTION. THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS. THIS PART OF THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE IS MOVING STEADILY ALONG A SPECIFIC TIME PLANE.

If hypnosis can aid a Moving Centered person to remember past lives, how can an Intellectually Centered person do this?

BY MEDITATION, CONCENTRATION, AND MOVEMENT TOWARD EMOTIONAL CENTER.

Where was it that we were together before?

YOU HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER SEVERAL TIMES AT THE CARDINAL POINTS AND ONCE IN BETWEEN. MOST OF THE PRESENT GROUP HAS COME TOGETHER SEVERAL TIMES IN ITS ENTIRETY, BUT THE COHESION DID NOT COME ABOUT.

What is meant by “cardinal points”?

THE BEGINNING, THE END, THE MID POINT OF ALL TIME CYCLES ARE SIGNIFICANT. YOU ARE ALL ON CARDINAL PLANES WITH REFERENCE TO THE CYCLES. YOU WERE ALL ALIVE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW CYCLE AND THE END OF THE OLD. ALSO, AT APPROXIMATELY TWO HUNDRED YEAR INTERVALS, WHEN MOST OF THE SIGNIFICANT ACTION ON THIS PLANET HAS TAKEN PLACE. WHILE YOU HAVE BEEN ON THE PHYSICAL PLANE, YOU HAVE ALL BEEN IN MOST OF THE SIGNIFICANT HISTORY ON YOUR WORLD. THERE ARE RESTING INTERVALS IN HISTORY ALSO. THE SECOND AND THIRD CENTURIES OF THIS ERA ARE A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THIS. THE “PAX ROMANA” WAS NO ACCIDENT.
