September 1973 - Michael Teachings Transcripts

June 19, 1974

____ has the feeling she needs to do something and doesn’t know what. This is confirmed by her dreams. What role did CIF play for them?

AS TO WHAT THE CREATIVITY INITIATIVE FOUNDATION AND OTHER SIMILAR GROUPS SIGNIFY, WE WOULD THINK OF THEM AS STEEPING STONES, GIVING YOU THE BROAD PERSPECTIVE, WETTING YOUR WHISTLE, SO TO SPEAK. THE HOMEWORK OF COURSE IS YOUR OWN INNER STRUGGLE WITH SELF GROWTH, AND THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS WORK TO BE DONE; ALSO AT A DEEPER LEVEL KNOWING THAT THE PERSONALITY DOES NOT LIKE THAT EXPERIENCE. MEETING WITH A TEACHING IS ALWAYS A SHATTERING EXPERIENCE FOR THE SEEKER, AND USUALLY BRINGS ON MANY PHENOMENA SUCH AS DREAMS THAT ARE ESPECIALLY VIVID AND ARE REALLY SIMPLY ASTRAL EXPERIENCES THAT ARE FOR ONCE REMEMBERED. MANY ALSO EXPERIENCE PRECOGNITIVE PHENOMENA AND OTHER PSYCHIC EXPERIENCES DURING THIS INITIAL PERIOD. SOME USE IT AS A VERIFICATION. OTHERS BECOME FRIGHTENED AND CHOOSE TO DENY THIS.

[Words deleted.] What is the karmic ribbon here?

IN THIS INSTANCE THE LADY’S INTUITION IS VALID, AND THIS RIBBON WINDS BACK TO THE IMMEDIATE PAST LIFE. THE MAN WAS A RUNAWAY, THE LADY A CHEYENNE BRAVE. HE WAS BROKE, FRIGHTENED, AND VERY MUCH IN DANGER, AND THE INDIANS TOOK HIM IN. ALSO, THE CHILD OF THIS UNION, NOT BY BIRTH, BUT BY RIGHT, FIGURES PROMINENTLY: AND OLD WARRIOR. THIS WAS THE CHIEF. THIS CHIEF WAS UNIQUE IN THAT HE HAD A WHITE WOMAN FOR A WIFE: A CHILD STOLEN IN A RAID. HE WAS WISE IN THE WAYS OF THE WHITE MAN AND HE SENSED YOUR VERY REAL DANGER. HE WAS SYMPATHETIC TO THE PLIGHT. TWICE THERE HAS BEEN AN INVOLVEMENT WITH DRINKING AS AN ESCAPE. TWICE YOU HAVE AIDED EACH OTHER IN FACING THAT WHICH YOU WISHED TO ESCAPE. WE SPEAK OF TWO PREVIOUS LIVES: THIS ONE AND A PREVIOUS LIFE IN HUNGARY.

I am unclear as to whether a debt still exists.

WE AGREE WITH THAT [— the debt remains]. THE PICKING UP HAS ALREADY OCCURRED. THE STRIDING FORWARD CAN NOW BEGIN.

Please comment on my weekly encounters with _____.

YOUR PERCEPTION OF THIS MATURE SAGE IS VALID. THE COMMENT WE WOULD MAKE AT THIS TIME IS AN OBVIOUS ONE. HE WAS PICKING UP ON YOUR DAYDREAMING, AND YES, YOU STILL DO SOME OF THAT.

What does a gold aura indicate?

THE GOLDEN SHADES NORMALLY INDICATE AN ALTRUISTIC BENT.

What is the aura of _____.

MANY OF YOU ARE PARTIALLY RIGHT: YELLOWISH GREEN.

Does one’s aura change in one lifetime?

IF THE CHANGE IS A PERMANENT ONE, THE AURA WILL CHANGE CORRESPONDINGLY. AS LONG AS THE DESIRE REMAINS, THE AURA WILL GIVE THIS AWAY IN BRILLIANT TECHNICOLOR.

Will Michael tell us what our task is?

TEACH/PERFORMING.

Does this mean speaking?

WE WOULD AGREE WITH THE FORMER. THE LATTER OF COURSE IS A MEMORY OF A TIME WHEN THIS WAS A REAL PART OF YOUR LIFE. YOU COULD, OF COURSE, TEACH VERY EFFECTIVELY IN THIS MANNER. ALL SAGES COME EQUIPPED FOR THE STAGE. IT IS BUILT INTO THE MODEL.

I get the feeling the Bay Area is a spiritual growth area.

WE HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT POWER VORTICES AND POSITIVE ENERGY SPOTS TO THE GROUP BEFORE, AND THE CITY OF BERKELEY IS A POSITIVE ENERGY SOURCE. THE BAY AREA DRAWS UPON THIS SOURCE.

In CIF and EST we were exposed to much knowledge. What is the purpose of these for us?

THIS ANSWER WOULD BE MUCH THE SAME FOR ALL IN THIS ROOM. THAT IS, TO SYNTHESIZE AND VERIFY THIS KNOWLEDGE SO THAT YOU CAN BE IN A BETTER SPACE TO PROMULGATE THE LOGOS.

What does H have that we don’t?

PATIENCE.

What is the role of Jewish people? Is it a lesson for me?

ONE CAN OF COURSE TAKE FROM THEIR WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE A VERY IMPORTANT LESSON, YES, AND THAT WOULD BE [to] PERSEVERE IN THE FACE OF PERSECUTION IN ORDER TO SEE THE DREAM.

Was I a Jew in a previous life?

YES, YOU WERE, IN THE SECOND CENTURY BEFORE THE COMMON ERA, AND BEFORE THAT IN BABYLONIA.

I was told to study the “middle pillar” by a psychic. Is this true for everyone?

NOT SPECIFICALLY. THIS IS JUST AN EXCELLENT EXERCISE TOWARD GROWTH.

What happened to the Simbionese Liberation Army members that were pacific and then became violent?

THE SAME PHENOMENA OCCURRED HERE THAT OCCURS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THE WAY OF PEACE IS FAR TOO SLOW FOR MOST YOUNG SOULS, AND IF THEY ARE POLITICALLY INVOLVED THEY USUALLY TEMPER THEIR MERCY WITH A LITTLE BLOOD AT THE END. THE THREE IN QUESTION WERE SWEPT UP IN THE CHARISMA OF THE LEADER, BUT THEY WERE ALREADY TASTING THE FRUSTRATION OF BRINGING ABOUT A “BETTER WORLD” THROUGH NONVIOLENCE. THEY PERCEIVED MASSIVE INEQUITIES AROUND THEM, AND WERE UNABLE TO SEPARATE FROM THEIR FANTASIES. THE TROUBLE WITH THIS AND MANY REVOLUTIONARY GROUPS IS THAT THEY CHOOSE NOTORIOUSLY POOR TARGETS THROUGH EMOTIONAL CENTER. FOR INSTANCE, THE MAN MARCUS WAS VIEWED BY THE MILITANT BLACK AS “UNCLE TOM”. IN REALITY HE WAS FAR FROM THAT.

I can’t figure out why the observing self (the machine) operates as it does. What do I do to make the change?

WE WOULD SAY AT THIS POINT THAT THE INSIGHT YOU HAVE MENTIONED IS AN EXTREMELY ESSENTIAL ONE: THAT IS, TO VIEW FROM THE INSIDE THE UTTER MECHANICALITY OF THE PERSONALITY AND ITS CONDITIONED RESPONSES. YES, THESE RESPONSES CAN BE ALTERED, AND YOU, ABOVE ALL OF THOSE WHO SEEK, SHOULD NOW BEGIN TO SEE HOW THEY CAN BE CHANGED. ALL ALONG WE HAVE BEEN URGING YOU TO PHOTOGRAPH THESE SEQUENCES IN YOURSELVES. SOME OF THEM ARE OF COURSE CULTURALLY INDUCED — THE WORK ETHIC IS AN EXAMPLE. OTHERS RESULT FROM YOUR COMBINATION OF OVERLEAVES, AND THE WAY IN WHICH YOU INTERRELATE BECAUSE OF THEM. THE PERSONALITY IS A MACHINE. ALL OF ITS RESPONSES ARE MECHANICAL, AND MOST ARE UNNECESSARY. THE CONTINUED OBSERVATION SHOULD MAKE YOU WILLING TO CHANGE THIS BEHAVIOR. AFTER AWHILE IT BECOMES TOO FRUSTRATING TO DO OTHERWISE. THIS IS ONE OF THE SIDE BENEFITS OF THE CONCENTRATION-MEDITATION MONAD. IT DOES MAKE THE ESSENCE DISGUSTED BY THE HOLD PERSONALITY HAS OVER IT, AND USUALLY THE NECESSARY IMPETUS OCCURS TO EFFECT THE CHANGE SOONER OR LATER IF YOU ARE WILLING TO PURSUE THIS TO THE BITTER END, AND THE LIGHT WILL SHINE AND THE ESSENCE WILL GAIN CONTROL. THEN THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE TRULY SIGNIFICANT WILL TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER MUCH OF THE NONSENSE YOU NOW USE TO OCCUPY YOUR DAYS. AND THIS DOES NOT JUST MEAN _____, THIS IS ALL OF YOU.

The sense of alienation varies from person to person. I think this stems from conditioning.

ALSO FROM THE SENSE OF PRIDE ONE HAS IN ONE’S ACHIEVEMENTS, THIS BEING WHOLLY IN PERSONALITY, AND IT CAN BE ALMOST INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THE AMOUNT OF ALIENATION SUFFERED BY THE SOUL. AND YES, THIS IS CULTURALLY INDUCED. THAT IS VALID WE THINK DIRECTLY.

I have left CIF. Do I have any further ribbons there?

NO TRUE RIBBONS. [You had] A SEQUENCE WHICH WAS COMPLETED RECENTLY.

I have some questions about the Pahana group.

MANY OF THOSE INVOLVED IN THIS GROUP ARE IN SEQUENCES WITH YOU, YES — _____ AS AN EXAMPLE.

She has an inordinate amount of problems. She is probably a Mercurial Mature soul Warrior.

THIS LADY IS A THIRD LEVEL MATURE PRIEST. YES, IN DOMINANCE, WITH MARTYRDOM AS HER CHIEF FEATURE, IN THE PASSION MODE, EMOTIONALLY CENTERED, WITH A PINKISH-RED AURA.

I have a newly recovered alcoholic living in my home. Is she a Mature Sage or Priest in Submission?

MANY, YES, DO HAVE THIS PROBLEM [alcoholism], SOMETIMES DUE TO THE EXTREMELY FALSE FACADE OF THE LIFE THEY LEAD ON STAGE OR AS A “FAMOUS PERSONAGE”. THE ALIENATION AGAIN DRIVES THEM INTO AN ESCAPE ROUTE THAT OFTEN ENDS IN DEGRADATION. SAGES, BECAUSE OF THEIR FLAIR FOR THE DRAMATIC, USUALLY AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER CHOOSE THIS TYPE OF LIFE [alcoholism].

Do I have a karmic ribbon or a Sequence with ______?

THIS MAN IS A MID CYCLE MATURE SAGE, YES, IN SUBMISSION WITH SELF-DESTRUCTION AS A CHIEF FEATURE, NOT AS STRONG NOW AS FORMERLY. HE WAS BADLY FRIGHTENED BY HIS RECENT EXPERIENCES, ENOUGH TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. [He is] AN IDEALIST IN THE OBSERVATION MODE. THERE WAS AGREED UPON A SEQUENCE HERE THAT YOU WOULD OFFER SHELTER.

[Question deleted from transcript.]

MOST IS VALID. THE AURA IS REDDISH ORANGE. WE SEE MORE IMPATIENCE.

Do animals laugh?

LAUGHTER IS LIMITED TO CREATURES OF REASON. THEY ALONE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMUNICATE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE EITHER PLEASED OR AWFULLY NERVOUS TO THOSE AROUND THEM. OTHER ANIMALS DO OCCASIONALLY INDICATE THEIR NERVOUSNESS BY COUGHING, STAMPING, ETC., BUT NOT LAUGHING. WE SEE THE NEED TO LAUGH AS GENUINE IN CREATURES OF REASON WHO SO DEPEND UPON VERBAL COMMUNICATION, AND WHERE IN SOME SOCIETIES DISPLEASURE JUST MIGHT RESULT IN VIOLENCE.

[Question deleted from transcript.]

THIS LADY IS A FIFTH LEVEL MATURE PRIEST IN GROWTH. NOT ALL ADVOCATES ARE IN STAGNATION. IT IS JUST A RATHER LOGICAL CHOICE FOR THOSE WHO ARE. THIS LADY IS A REALIST IN THE OBSERVATION MODE.

Regarding the Biblical myth of the tower of Babel, is this symbolic of Entity Fragmentation?

WE FIND NO FAULT WITH THIS INSIGHT.

Someone asked about the SRG of a female friend and of her husband: Old Artisan, Dominance, Growth, Spiritualist?

THE LADY FIRST: THIS IS A THIRD LEVEL OLD ARTISAN IN GROWTH, NOT DOMINANCE. SHE IS IN THE POWER MODE, HOWEVER, WHICH GIVES HER OVERTONES OF DOMINANCE. YES, A SPIRITUALIST. THIS [man] IS A FIFTH LEVEL MATURE SAGE IN GROWTH ALSO, BUT IN THE OBSERVATION MODE. HE IS A REALIST. HIS CHIEF FEATURE IS MORE OF STUBBORNNESS THAN ANYTHING ELSE. THIS MAN SHOULD BE A DIVERSION FOR ALL.

Someone Quoted an article from Harper’s Magazine.
