January 4, 2001 Troy Tolley, channel Open Floor [Michael_Entity] Hello. We are here. One moment. We realize, once again, there is no Topic suggested of us, so we will simply move into an Open Floor format. [ludmila] There has been much talk lately about child-abuse. What kind of karma or agreements is involved in this? Specifically sexual abuse of children by adult authority figures [Michael_Entity] Child abuse is not a standardized event. There are many factors that may be involved in the experience of abuse, whether between adult and child, human and non-human, etc. Karma is either created or is being balanced, though it is very rare for an Agreement to be involved, except in the Old and Mature Soul Cycles. Abuse when linked to an Agreement is specifically, then, related to the imprinting required for the fulfillment of the Life Task. Whether the abuse is “used” effectively as a tool in that process will rely on the fragment and the use of the Overleaves, in general. Abuse in relation to “Authority Figures” and children is not a category anymore than abuse from a stranger harassing a child on the playground. There are no definitions or differentiations that can create categories of abuse except in “styles” of abuse. We will say, however, that those who have experienced abuse as children at the hands of Authority Figures (assuming it is not a Karmic Formation) are generally balancing Karma related to Positions of Authority where Abuse was inflicted by “themselves.” As with all Burning of Ribbons, the Karmic situation is usually, simply, reversed. We do not know if we have addressed the deeper issues of concern or question here, but we have answered the question as stated, as clearly as we can. [mamajo] How can one tell when Karma is being created, and when it is an agreement to facilitate imprinting? [Michael_Entity] Any formation/burning of Karma interrupts and distracts the life in a deeply affecting way. Karmic Formation can usually be identified as lacking compulsion to be involved, but there is an element of shock and chaos. Karmic Burning of Ribbons is usually marked by a compulsion to remain involved far past logic and emotion and body would dictate otherwise, followed by a great relief when the Karma is burned. In the event of the Burning, much of what was so compelling is then seen in a bewildering light, as if you were in a trance the whole time. In terms of facilitating Imprinting, the fragment being abused usually has a “bizarre” sense of safety and peace throughout the events. There is a creation of a strong support group outside of the event, in many of these cases, which are rare, as we said. The abuse as imprinting is heavily marked by this use of the experience as a platform for a greater vision or affect on the life in a discernible way, without referencing the abuse in a negative way. [momhawk] Hello Michael. I was wondering about family ‘icons’ vs. ‘working groups’ as per your channel Victoria Marina. This material seems more in the Shamanistic vein, and I was wondering if there might be another way to view this type of Information, from a different ‘angle’ or slant (Perspective ;-) Does cadre 1/entity 1 have any ‘task groups’ that may be exploring “abuse” themes? Thank you. [Michael_Entity] Family Ikons are vastly different from Working Groups and have no bearing on each other. One is the imposition on the Personality as imposed by expectations from family and early environmental influences from important fragments in the life, while the other is a configuration of fragments working on esoteric themes begun in the Alexandrian Schools. Though we do not claim the latter as “our teaching,” we do have access to facilitating the teachers of that information. What you refer to as “task groups,” we may simply call Entity Themes. Your concepts of Task Groups, though, are not inaccurate, as there are pockets within the entity that do work on various themes. There is an “overall” theme, of course, for instance, in terms of your Entity being the most Cardinal and numbered 1 in your Cadre. Your themes in general will all be linked to Purpose and Simplicity; the positive and negative poles of any Entity One. Within the Entity there will be, again, a division in Cardinal and Ordinal themes. Many of you working with issues of abuse for your Entity are in the Ordinal half of your Entity. [momhawk] Would these ‘themes’ then, be like major and minor ‘octaves’ of learning experiences? [Michael_Entity] We would not link the terms “major or minor octaves of learning” to the themes. Those terms can relate to the overall Entity's collection of experiences and to a fragment's experiences, yes, but we do not define an order to these themes from this level with those terms. [momhawk] Ok, could entity one be ‘specializing’ in a major octave of HUMANITIES, with various ‘minor’ octaves (or ‘themes’) of those ‘subcategories’ (such as abuse), for instance? [Michael_Entity] The way you presented your last question, yes, your definition can easily be applied. Artisans are even more preoccupied with the architecture and order of an Entity and Universe than even us. We say that with validity, not necessarily to provoke humour. [nemo999] Should I expect or seek justice on the physical plane? It does not appear to exist here, or for a personality. [Michael_Entity] This would depend on your definition of “Justice.” If by this you mean a sweet feeling of satisfaction for having felt something has wronged you, there can be temporary satisfaction in various ways, but rarely does it settle the “soul.” If by Justice you mean an awesomely compassionate balance to every event, then that is something you can count on entirely to be found. [nemo999] Balance within one life span? [Michael_Entity] While on the Physical Plane, much of what is sought as “justice” is simply a need to be acknowledged. Much of what is defined within a lifetime as injustice or justice is but a minute part of the larger picture. It is only within the concepts of the Old Cycle that a fragment may truly be able to bring to the Physical Life a sense of that awesome balance. So, to answer your question more succinctly: to expect or seek justice within a lifetime before the Old Cycle is usually indicative of Maya, Self-Karma, Karma, or Chief Feature and the apparent balance may or may not be seen. [Kathie89] I am interested in palmistry. Does frequency show up in the hands? Specifically, do smooth fingers indicate high frequency and knotted fingers show low frequency? [Michael_Entity] The hands are an excellent indicator of how the Frequency is being used, but not necessarily what that person's Frequency is. Smoother joints/knuckles in the fingers do appear to indicate the processing of the life to be at a higher frequency, while more “knotted” joints/knuckles can indicate a halting or stalling of processing of the life. Those who have lower frequencies will have had “knotted” fingers for most of their life, regardless, and can rarely “smooth” them out, but those with higher frequencies can tend to create a more “knotted” structure due to being imposed on by lower frequency fragments. It is much more “acceptable” in general to have a lower to mid frequency, therefore those with higher frequencies are more subject to being reprimanded in their processing style for “not thinking,” being “too spontaneous,” “jumping into things,” being “chaotic,” etc. If lower frequency fragments surround a higher frequency fragment, the knotting can indicate this reduction of processing to accommodate. [Kathie89] So life experience can slow down a high frequency? [Michael_Entity] It cannot “slow” the frequency itself, but it can slow down the fragment's managing of it. For instance, those who have higher frequencies who deal with the imposition of lower frequencies tend to “pop their knuckles” more, burn their hands at some point seriously, get bitten, etc., as a means to bring a consciousness to the process that would normally not be required. We will note additionally that those with higher frequencies even when having knotted joints will still tend to have a “smoother” flow over the knuckle, a gradual shaping. Though this is not an intended pun, our response only touches the surface of this question regarding palmistry. There is more correlation that is valid. [Lori] I would like to know what working group or theme I might be in my entity seven, cadre one. [Michael_Entity] Though we do not specialize in that teaching through this channel, we can say that it appears you would be part of what is referred to as the HAWK Working Group. In terms of your Entity's Theme in general, Entity 7 is geared toward the spectrum between Inculcation and Eclecticism; the positive and negative poles of any Entity 7. The themes within your particular Entity are highly active in Teaching. Most specialize in addressing troubled Personalities in some fashion, offering insight, healing or teaching. There are a great number of psychiatrists, ministers, and therapists (physical and emotional), and musicians with focus on healing as the result of their music. Andreas Vollenweider is a prominent example of the latter. [Barb] Good evening, Michael. I realize you are not a “Psychic Eye” per se, but can you give us any probabilities as to what the next four years hold in store for the United States under the leadership of our next president, George W. Bush? [Michael_Entity] We do not believe this fragment will remain in a position long enough to warrant a look into the next four years. The percentages are quite high for this fragment to leave his position in a rather dramatic fashion. He only wanted the experience of “winning” and living up to his own Family Ikon. This is ecstasy for that fragment and the responsibilities that go with remaining in the position are far too overwhelming. This is one of your major shifts in Power that will be scrutinized. Especially after the apparent fiasco around the process of getting this fragment to that position in the first place. The next four years, though, will be focused on themes instilling a new consciousness around CHOICE. Your election was one of the first “lessons” around this Century of Choice and the ramifications of choice being interfered with or not enforced. A new “60's” mentality appears to be on the horizon with greater numbers in protest and “raising their voices.” It is safe to say that the Mature Soul consciousness is well under way on your planet. [MaryBV] I know the name for cadre 1, entity 1 is She-Hulk, but what is the name for Cadre 2, entity 3? If possible could we get the names for entities 1-7 in this cadre? [NOTE from Troy: Below, in response to the above question, is a good example of channeling being influenced by the limitations of ME. “I” read the question to Michael wrong and they responded to that. This is a more literal example, but any channel in their interpretation can distort any question and then the channeling/Michael responds to that. Sometimes that subtlety would be hard to see. Anyway, take it as an interesting fumble, if nothing else!] [Michael_Entity] That is not the name for Entity One, Cadre One. That is a convenient and affectionate name chosen by some of our channels to capture the “flavour” of that Entity's general dynamic. Understanding that these are not names chosen by us, we will share what, in general, has come to be references for these Entities: Entity One: “She-Hulk”; due to the Artisan/Warrior dynamic and the fact of Artisans being in more male bodies, while Warriors being in Female bodies. Entity Two: “The Loudmouths”; due to the high proportion of Artisans and Sages. One only need meet a fragment from that Entity to understand this nickname. [MaryBV] Michael, please excuse the interruption, but I was requesting information on cadre 2 [Michael_Entity] We are limited by our channel's eyes, of course. We are “blind” without them. We will respond again: since Cadre Two has so few fragments involved directly with us, there has come to be no consistent “nicknames” for the Entities. As we said, they are not names chosen by us, but we are unaware of any significant names at this time. It would not be difficult to create them, if you observe more of the dynamics of the entities involved. We, then, do not have an answer for this. [End of Channel Blunder, ha ha] [Barry] Regarding your description of working groups as “a configuration of fragments working on esoteric themes begun in Alexandrine schools….,” this struck a chord with me. I’m not asking for details, but can you confirm whether I am part of such a group and if so, what it’s esoteric theme is? (Cadre 1, Entity 6) [Michael_Entity] You are from an obscure grouping called LEOPARD. The themes involve being in highly contrasting environments from what your “true colours” are, thus bringing whatever teaching theme is being studied at the time to more fragments not directly linked to that teaching. Your entity and cadre have no bearing on the configurations. [liiona] How many members of 1/6 are incarnate vs. discarnate or cycled off? Any geographic concentrations? What do we “integrate?” What is our theme? [Michael_Entity] Cadre One, Entity Six has approximately 440 incarnated. There is a high concentration in the United States, along both coasts and what is the southern border of the country. There are approximately 262 discarnate, while approximately 372 are cycled off. The theme of Integration revolves around being a “magnet” for fragments seeking a touchstone of sorts. Many from Entity Six act regularly as a pivotal force in many lives. They also draw together groups of people to fulfill Agreements with each other and make connections that otherwise would not have happened. Any Entity Six works within the spectrum from Harmony to Connection; the positive and negative poles. Harmony creates a “solid” world for all fragments involved, while Connection simply joins fragments. Neither are good or bad, but merely the spectrum of the themes explored. We will conclude here. Goodnight.

Note from TLE Admin on October 26, 2017: This material is the reproduction of a post by Troy that first appeared in 2003 in the TLE Yahoo Group [now defunct]. Here is Troy's disclaimer prior to posting this: "My disclaimer is that I was channeling this AS I was trying to learn about [Michael], so that can throw off some of the accuracy in details, but they are a start." Posted 4/23/03 On TLE Groups Here are some old Q & A to Michael about the Cadres & Entities: Here are the responses from Michael in regard to the questions posted. I hope you all find them interesting at the least. Thanks for participating! ********************** QUESTIONS & ANSWERS QUESTION: I would really like to know more about what happens after we die in regard to entities. I know we join back up with our entity before we incarnate again. But I guess I would like to know specifics. What do we do with our entities while we're there? MICHAEL: It is not necessarily true that you “join back up” with your Entity between lives. In fact, you are never separated from your Entity at any point, except in perspective from that of the Personality. Depending on Soul Age, there will be more or less contact with Entity Members incarnate, discarnate, or otherwise. Early in your Cycle, little is regarded between lives except how to get born again as soon as possible. As your Cycle continues and consciousness grows in Essence, your Essence will seek more meaningful contact with other Essences as you are between lives. You will seek “aspects” of those who are still incarnated at the same time (they do not have to be dead to communicate with them) for review or planning, and you will seek contact with those who will play parts in the next life who are not incarnate. This is not limited to any members of any Entity. Depending on the lifetime just lived, you will either integrate the lifetime and Personality as part of the dynamic of your Essence, or that lifetime remains “alive” and functioning within its own timeline. That lifetime, along with any other lifetime that is relevant to a theme, acts as a long-sounding tone, so to speak, and a new lifetime being created must integrate that tone into its plans. Lifetimes then “cluster” in terms of “chords”, usually in groups of 5 tones around a theme; the theme acting as a “chord”. Until that theme is complete, each lifetime and Personality is literally “alive” and full of various potentials within that theme. When the Grand Cycle is complete, the span of lifetimes is literally “heard” as a song. QUESTION: And what exactly happens when everyone in the entity is cycled off? Do we merge into one nebulous mass? What's the purpose of this? MICHAEL: When all fragments from an Entity are complete in the explorations of the Physical Plane, integration does begin. This is done in the Emotional Plane, or Astral Plane. Using the analogy of each Entity being a “busload” of fragments, then the “ride home” through the Astral Plane is the “telling of stories” of all lifetimes to each other. All Essences at this point have learned to relate to each other as separate and Physical and all of the ramifications of this, but the Emotional Realm of Essence is only remotely touched while Physical. Some dreams allude to the experience, but what is experienced as Emotion while Astrally-based and integrating your Entity is profound to a degree that a Physical Body could never truly process it. Each group of Roles within the Entity shares within itself, then as a collective Role will share with the other Roles making up that Entity. When this is complete, movement to the Causal begins. QUESTION: And, within our entities, I know we become close with a handful of other souls. But does this closeness carry over when the entity merges after everyone cycles off? Is that even possible? MICHAEL: “Closeness” with other fragments, whether within your Entity or not, remains, even when completely returned to the Tao. There will always be a “signature” that is identifying of all Sparks that are cast “from” the Tao. That basic signature, which is not the same thing as Essence or Role, will never change. There is a higher order that organizes the Sparks within the Tao, regardless of their undertaking a new Grand Cycle with a new Role, Entity, Cadre, etc. This higher order is how the Tao “breathes in and out” entire Universes. We, ourselves, still have an affinity toward many who are now our Students, but lived many lives with us while we were Physical. You do not lose this, though the way you may “feel” it now will certainly change. QUESTION: I was also wondering what kind of agreements the entities have. Are some entities slated to become teaching entities? What other kinds of "jobs" are there for entities to do once they've cycled off? MICHAEL: ALL Entities will teach. It is part of the process. The size of the population of the Students depends entirely on the choice of the Entity. How each Entity will teach is entirely dependent on the dynamic of the Entity and its placement within the Cadre. Each Entity will select a Parallel to teach in various forms, with at least one Parallel chosen for another incarnation as a Transcendental Soul. QUESTION: I would like to know what the names of the entities and make-up of the various entities are for cadre 2. MICHAEL: There are no “nicknames” for these Entities with any consistency to comment on at this point. The primary makeup for each Entity is following, but bear in mind that there may be more than these Roles involved in each Entity: Cadre 2 Entity One: Warriors/Scholars Entity Two: Sages/Servers Entity Three: Priests/Scholars Entity Four: Kings/Scholars Entity Five: Artisans/Kings Entity Six: Servers/Warriors Entity Seven: Priests/Servers [Note from TLE Admin: Please see articles about Cadre 2 entities currently on this site. Information has been altered/updated since 2003.] This is an Artisan-Cast, Cardinal Cadre bringing great amounts of creativity and innovation to the planet over time for the rest of the Energy Ring. Much of its contribution over time has been played out in Politics and Music. This is Knowledge Position in the Energy Ring granting the Energy Ring some of its greatest advisors across time, whether through example, questioning, facilitating, etc. This is not always in a “flattering” light as some of your recent Politicians in the more dramatic spotlight have come from Cadre 2. QUESTION: Also, since most of the folks on the list are cadre 1, I find that I often feel drawn to people of entity 3. I know there is a certain bleed-through between the same entities of different cadres and I wonder how that works, why that happens. MICHAEL: Links between fragments and some Entities are created simply by sheer experience, while other links are mathematical. Your link to Entity Three is due to your personal study of alternative perceptions of reality. Entity Three from Cadre One is held as the specialists in “seeing” the world through innocent eyes or at the very least, quirky enough to be considered independent from the impositions of environment. You adore this as Essence and this lifetime’s Personality agrees. Mathematical/Musical links between Entities are formed previous to any incarnation and stand as links between fragments who are Essence Twins. QUESTION: How long have the two cadres been incarnating on this planet? MICHAEL: Nearly 6,000,000 years; measured by Earth’s rotation around your Star. QUESTION: I'm really curious about the history of our entities (Cadre One). MICHAEL: To delve into the histories of each Entity would be a grand topic that this channel will have to pass at this time by his choice. We can suggest the topic continue into your next month with this as an exploration, but eventually you will have access to the information, regardless. QUESTION: What are the reasons behind the choice that the Entity we know as Michael would form teaching agreements with our Entities and Cadres? MICHAEL: It is the nature of all Entities within Cadre 11 of an Energy Ring to form teaching agreements with the following Energy Ring.

Ask Michael - April 3, 2016 Hello to each of you. We are here, now. We can begin. We will begin with ViP VIP: Hi Michael. VIP: I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but do body types have positive and negative poles, and if so, do they vary according to whether the type is present as Nature, Appearance or Body? VIP: And, if so, could you choose one and give a brief description of its positive and negative pole as an example? Yes, Body Types have Positive and Negative Poles. An example could be LUNAR with a Positive Pole of Luminous and a Negative Pole of Pallid regarding Appearance, with Nature having Unattached as a Positive Pole and Childish as a Negative Pole, and Health as Sensitive in the Positive Pole and Resignation as Negative Pole. We will relay this to Troy so that a comprehensive listing can be added to your library. VIP: Ok, thank you Michael! Next, Daniela. DanielaS: Hi Michael. The March Energy Report said that on March 19 there would be a (mini) Nexus - Divergence: "This looks to be a minor shift that may be related to events generated by a high-profile event or person who represents the force of a population/collective. If this occurs, the effects would be in terms of narrowing paths forward." On March 22 th there was a terrorist attack in Brussels. Was this the high-profile event that ushered in the (mini) Nexus and if so could you elaborate on how paths forward were narrowed? Yes. March 19 appeared to us to be the marked shift toward a high profile event, and the event in Brussels seems to have been that event. We can only see that a pattern is emerging, and can assess upcoming probabilities based on that, but we wish to be clear that we did not "predict" this event. We differentiate prediction from assessing probabilities because prediction implies certainty while probabilities inherently consider even "last-minute" choice. This event reflected a shift relative to the recent Nexus in that patterns are growing "tighter and tighter" in regard to a breaking point for many people. The line of division between Soul Ages is deepening, so to speak, creating a void that will, eventually, be filled. As the division deepens it is creating a metaphorical gap, a fault line, throughout populations on a wider scale than has been the case in a long time. That fault line, or gap, is snapping even the most flexible and compassionate and inclusive of individuals to one "side" or the other. That gap is deepening and widening and this cannot be sustained, so it is contributing to the Turning Point of this year when the tension either gives way and erupts abruptly and shockingly among the masses, or a means of relieving that gap is offered up as a more productive solution. So the "narrowing" is in terms of the apparent sense that even if one did not actively choose so, he or she is likely to be forced to one "side" or the other, and that the resolution is leading only toward two scenarios: breakthrough or breakdown. Next, Connor. ConnorB: Hello Michael ConnorB: Can you convey an idea of what the afterlife was like for the first Humans to die? I'm curious because when the "gun jumpers" of our newly incarnating Design lived out their first lifetimes and died, they didn't have any cycled-off, more experienced friends to help them out. Was the afterlife very chaotic in the beginning? Most new Sentience is cared for by an established Sentience, so there are often plenty of experienced fragments ready to greet and support the newly dead of a new Sentient species. Remember that all Sentient species of a planet share the same Astral Plane. For example, Human and Cetacean Sentience has been supporting Gorilla fragments between lives. Mostly Human, but some Cetacean. For Humans, we had our own "caretakers" and then Cetacean. The constructs of these other Sentient species' own ideas of "afterlife" often inform those early lifetimes so that superstitions are born of the experiences between lives. There are two effects that seem to have been the most deeply affecting upon our earliest Human deaths/incarnations: One is along the lines of all variations on Shamanism, and the other is the deep, aching longing for a "home" that seems not to be of Earth. This is because precedence was set in those early afterlives by non-terrestrial relationships, and then Cetaceans informed us of more mystical relationships with the planet and its life forms. Keep in mind that the above is relative to the individual and his/her allowance of Review between lifetimes. In those instances there is teaching from those relationships we describe. However, most Infant Souls scramble desperately to return to a body and do so with little Review. ConnorB: I'm certainly looking forward to hanging out with dead dolphins. It is not unusual for the Astral interval to be "skipped" entirely and have back-to-back birth/death for several lives. ConnorB: Reminds me of waking up in the morning without remembering any dreams. It could be said to be chaotic, but it is a beautiful chaos that eventually leads to an awakening that perpetuates the evolution. ConnorB: Very cool, Michael, thank you. NEXT, Brian Brian_: Hi Michael. I realize this might be simplistic, but what is Truth? What is Love? What is Energy? We will say that Truth is that which True, or that which is in keeping with persistent and consistent understanding. This definition allows room for the 3 Levels of Truth that accommodate the Personal, Planetary, and Universal. Love is the gravity of souls. Energy is the indestructible, but infinitely variable and perpetual, fuel and form of a universe. Brian_: Could you expand upon "Love is the gravity of souls" ? In more material terms, it could be said that Love is a force generated by the vacuum of fragmentation. That vacuum cannot be sustained and is in a perpetual process of closing as a means to reunite fragments. In more spiritual terms, it could be said that Love is the process of remembering. There are many ways that we can respond to the questions of what these terms mean, but this is one way. NEXT, Becca. Becca: Hi Michael. I’m hoping you could elaborate on the themes and specialisations of some of the ‘less common’ cadres for us, today. Becca: You have previous provided some great information about cadres 1 and 2 who seem particularly common within these teaching communities (through some channels these are known as cadres 3 and 4, I believe), and I am hoping you might be able to tell us about other cadres, particularly cadres 7 – 9. Is there a reason it is so rare to come across members of these cadres and ‘higher’? Do they have a particular specialisation/focus of their own that draws them away from these teachings (e.g. are they predominantly younger souls, or have they cycled off already)? Thanks, and thanks for the beautiful responses you've given today. We have only one Cadre and Entity numbering system for a Sentience. All others are creative variations relative to an individual. There are variations of numbering and terms when expanding to include other Sentience, but we tend to emphasize the structure of Human Sentience in our teaching. Cadres 1, 2, 3, and 4 are higher in profile among our students because they are at the Cardinal end of the Energy Ring. These Cadres tend to lead the way in clearing paths, pioneering, experimenting, reaching out, exposing, questioning, integrating, inspiring, facilitating, etc. Cadre 4 specializes in mentoring and guiding and because of this has cycled off, acting as a resource of guides and support for all fragments of the Energy Ring. Because of the emphasis on Love by Cadre 1, and Knowledge by Cadre 2, and Compassion by Cadre 3, the fragments from these Cadres tend to create the network that allows the rest of the Energy Ring to explore in ways that bring a deep sense of safety and direction. When an Energy Ring makes its Agreements with its Teachers, the first 4 Cadres tend to "do all of the work" of directly accessing that teaching and this is then shared among the rest of the Energy Ring. In other words, many from Cadres 1-4 actually teach the teaching to the rest of the Cadre. This is not to say that Cadres 5 through 12 will not be among our active students recognizing our teaching, but many from those Cadres will tend to elect ambassadors or representatives, so to speak, who will work directly with us or a student from Cadres 1 - 4 and then make that information accessible to the Entities of that Cadre. While we have Agreements with all of your Energy Ring, the method of teaching you recognize as "channeling" and direct access to us is not how all of our students will learn from us. We focus on those active students who will then carry forward our teaching throughout the Energy Ring across lifetimes. This is an important dynamic because it is not often that such a method of teaching is actually available. It requires relatively prosperous and peaceful times for us to work through a channel, and even if the channel is available for this method, the students may not be. This is easier in older soul populations and paradigms, but there is no reason to wait for "perfect" states to begin our Agreements. So from among 12 Cadres, if we can get a stable "handful" to work directly with us, the teaching Agreements can be fulfilled any number of ways from there. As for Cadres 7, 8, and 9, we will say that Cadre 7 is focused on exploring decadence, pleasure, laughter, paradox, humor, and levity. Cadre 8 is focused on themes relative to profound responsibility, difficult choices, structure as a path of freedom, discipline. Cadre 9 is spread across the planet with many fragments directly involved in issues of social, political, and philosophical security, accountability, reality-checks, and anchoring awareness. A great deal of Cadre 9 perished in the "Twin Towers" of New York City. Though we can continue to expand our response, we will leave that for further exchanges. Becca: Thanks very much :) NEXT. We can take one or two more questions. AnnH: In the recent NYC Michael Speaks, you said “Pick your parallels wisely.” How does one pick a parallel? Can this be done consciously? We did not say that. AnnH: oops. I quoted it from the transcripts. DanielaS: It was a comment from one of the participants. Brian_: Can we though? AnnH: Oh, well. Can we pick parallels? Brian_: Either attract or repel parallels that we want? TyroneT: (lol) Parallels are always chosen and/or generated from choice. AnnH: Can we do this consciously and in what ways? The idea that one may be better than another is superficial speculation based on the degree of anticipated comfort. By the time "you" reach a point where parallels are converging or diverging, the choices that generate or lead you to a parallel have long been in effect. AnnH: ok Parallels are generated from cumulative effect. So our answer to your question is that, yes, you can consciously choose your parallels, but this is not like a menu at a restaurant where you pick and choose, or an intersection of streets at which you choose which way to turn. Instead, your active participation in consciously creating or moving toward a parallel is directly proportional to you practice in conscious choice on a daily basis. Think of it this way: The paths available upon reaching a branch from a parallel do not indicate options from which to choose at that moment, but indicate all directions that you will already go because of choices along the way. In other words, 3 paths at the intersection are not a prompt for choice, but a product of choice, and all three will be followed. We have worked with Troy on a detailed exploration of how parallels work and we suggest reminding him to direct you to this for more exploration. NEXT, final question Miia: Howdy Michael! Miia: I would like to get some more understanding about choice regarding parenting. Using myself as an example, I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant, and the feeling of responsibility (as I guess is quite normal) is getting almost daunting. I suppose the conflict here, at least for me personally, is the fundamental belief than everyone is responsible for themselves, and yet here I am, making really big decisions for another, very helpless human being. It is hard for me to relax and not feel very stressed about it, and I think one of the main reasons is that it just doesn't sit with the whole philosophy of choice for me. I am trying to think of it as, if something goes wrong, it *is* ultimately also that fragment's choice to agree to that experience. But it doesn't feel quite right, or good enough an explanation. Simply thinking "it is what it is, and just do your best", or "fears are illusion" or "trying to control everything is maya and only brings on anxiety" is just not cutting it in this situation, even if all those things were true. (The only thing I have found truly helpful is focusing on the moment, but that helps, well, for the moment ;)) Miia: So, what is your insight and advice for parents and parents-to-be, how to see through the, I suppose phobia, of possible threats (in my case, mainly but not only toxins, radiation and chemicals in our modern environment, homes and food etc), and the illusion of being solely responsible for the new human's well-being and "destiny"? Thanks! Miia, you are awake, and this is why the empty and inaccurate cliches no longer sit well with you. This is not just about parenting, but about being responsible as a conscious individual. All that happens TO an individual is not his or her choice. What one does with what happens to himself or herself is choice, but not always that which happens TO you. You cannot (always) control what happens TO you. That is simply a part of the dynamic and gamble of the Physical Plane, and what happens to you is often a byproduct of the range and impact of choice that exists for all fragments. In other words, if someone decides to harm you it does not mean you chose that. You may have made choices that led you to be in a position of vulnerability, but that is not the same thing as choosing to be harmed. If you contract an illness, it is not often because you chose to be sick. Illness can form from cumulative choices and behaviors that can lead to illnesses, but that does not mean the choice was to be sick. It is irresponsible and empty for any teaching to teach otherwise. Fears ARE often illusions, but the key element missing from this cliche is that fear is also informative. When you recognize fear, it is not helpful to look away, but rather to look closer. Fear informs you of threats, but your conscious sorting through those fears is the key to differentiating between what is speculative and what is legitimate. As for parenting, it is fair that you are concerned for the well-being of this new body because until that body is at least 7 years old, it is an extension of you on all levels. After 7 years old, the "nature" of the individual activates in a way that can then blend with or overturn the "nurture," but the first 7 years are entirely dependent upon nurture. If something goes "wrong," it is not necessarily because of choice on your part or that of the new Personality and its Essence. It is simply because the Physical Plane is inherently risky and scathing is a part of that risk. If you wish and choose to parent responsibly, let your fears inform you. Look at what concerns you. Educate yourself to your choices. Allow room for surprises and "curve balls" because they will come. Letting your fears inform you gives them a state of usefulness instead of distraction. Life is fragile. Life is messy. Life is chaotic. Miia: Oh man the hours of research and educating myself about all the choices =P Miia: I think its my Idealism that likes to fight against "chance" and "risk' existing. And yet, everything around you lives in some way. However fragile, messy, and chaotic life may be, the point is TO LIVE. And this is the final important note we can share in addition to letting your fears inform you. When you feel distracted by fears, by chance, by risk, by worry, it can be helpful to remind yourself that these are a part of LIFE. And you cannot forget to LIVE. And LET LIVE. In other words, no amount of safety and assurance is worth compromising the quality of living. As long as your fears are informing you so that you and your loved ones can live, then you are doing well. But if they interfere with the quality of living, then they are pointless. Remember to live. Miia: Nice :) Thank you. ! That is the best comfort one can bring to herself when life seems scary. We will conclude here for today. Good evening to each of you. Goodbye, for now.

MICHAEL SPEAKS Online 110407 [Michael Entity] : Hello to all of you. We are here. We will call on Glenn for the first question. [Glenn] : I have a question about the implicate structure of the universe. I've studied Indra's Net, Michael Math, the Golden Mean, Sacred Geometry, Quantum Physics, and music. I've had dreams and vision quests which have shown me numerous complex matrices and structures. I don't know how to bring them into physical reality. I guess my question in brief is why have I come across this information and how can I best utilize and/or transmit it? [Michael Entity] : The collective consciousness of your particular Cadre specializes in this particular area of the universe and so it is not surprising to find your interest blooming within your lifetime, especially given your particular Entity's position within your Cadre. We have regular contact with what might appear to you as being your "future" selves in terms of your collective cadre consciousness as it exist within the Causal Plane. A common reference to this collective has been "Mentax." This response helps bring insight into the why of your interest and strong attraction to this angle of study of the universe. In terms of how to best utilize and transmit this information, we can only suggest that it is a process of study at this point; an exploration of patterns and potentials, but not one of conclusions that need be "transmitted" within this lifetime. The closest we can come to describing how you may already be expressing this geometric spirituality is through the construction of musical notes and your exploration of the impact of melodies, notes, and the spaces between those very notes on space and senses. It appears to us that there might begin to be an emphasis of movement and composition away from a linear exploration and into a more circular exploration, leading to a more spherical experience at some point; if this makes sense to you. [Glenn] : Spherical and spiral. It makes total sense to me. [Michael Entity] : As music and math are "two sides of the same coin," it makes sense to us that your explorations are between these intimate sciences. [Geraldine] : What is Cadre 2 known to specialize in? [Michael Entity] : Cadre Two seems to have a theme of emphasis of specialty in Color and Light. We refer to this collective consciousness as "Polymous." We remind all here that the "names" we share here are translations from a less-verbal means by which we actually refer to your Cadres. We also remind you that the themes we describe are broad and are taking into account a grand collection of experience that can be reduced to a very thin theme, and those themes are full of sub-themes, and not all lifetimes and personalities will recognize these grander themes. [christian] : My question was prompted by one of the Mblogs. How would I help my sister to stop blaming so that she could release the pain? It seems the pain has in part come to define her. I see that as restrictive. Please advise. [Michael Entity] : We must remind you that we do not "advise," as we do not have an investment in your choices. We can, however, respond with our observations and suggestions: In terms of helping your sister to stop blaming, we would suggest, first, that you examine why you would wish for her to be rescued from her personal experience and process. We use the word "rescue" as this is what we would describe the act of interrupting an experience for the sake of what might be defined as a state that is "better" for a person. Quite often what one believes is "better" is not for the sake of the person being rescued, but for the sake of the rescuer. In other words, it pains you to observe her struggles, so to remove her from her struggles may bring relief to you. We do not state this as incriminating, but as a first step in understanding your motivation to help her. Honesty with yourself is the bridge of effectiveness between your efforts that benefit you and benefit the other fragment. We also suggest this examination of motivation because what might "help" her the most is not an ending of her process, but walking through it with her at her pace and with the restrictions and pain she may feel is necessary along the way. When we say "feel is necessary," we do not mean that she wishes for this pain, but that the pain is a product of her processing of truth, and it is accepted as such on a level within herself that trusts her own navigation of her life. In short, the pain that you perceive as having come to define her is just one side of the process that will allow gaining a more comprehensive awareness of her truths. It is only one side. It is not her conclusion. If you wish to help her, we see one of your choices that would bring about your desired results would be in simply walking with her through her process, but consciously embodying a trust in her process, yourself, so that she may also draw from that example of trust and regain a conscious remembering of her own trust in her process. This trust exists already within her, but not consciously. Let her blame. Let her restrict herself. Let her identify with the pain. In many ways, "the only way out, is through." Once the personality has fed enough on the lies that surround the experience, then the dessert of truth can be enjoyed. [christian] : yum!! [Michael Entity] : We do not mean to speak so poetically, but these words have meaning in more ways than poetic. [hairguique] : Hi Michaels and Troy, As students of Michael we are all developing our understandings. How does one develop their communication with Michaels? Like Channeling, auto writing? Being a Healer is very important. [Michael Entity] : Communicating with us is quite simple in most cases, but there are certain strengths inherent in your Overleaves that bring about ease in one area or another of the process. There are three major parts to the process of communicating with us or any other non-physical consciousness or energy, with a fourth part that is the sum of the three: Connection, Translation, and Transmission, with Comprehension as the sum of all parts. Some of you are quite naturally in contact with us because your Overleaves fall predominantly in the Inspiration Axis, while some of you are quite accurate in your Translation of the energy because your Overleaves fall predominantly on the Expression axis, and still others of you are quite comfortable with your Transmission of this energy into physicality because of your Overleaves falling predominantly on the Action axis. For effective channeling to occur in a way that most think of "channeling," then an emphasis on the "weak" areas of your Overleaves is needed for building strength and balance. In other words, in examining your profile, the axis with the least amount of overleaves may be an area in which your emphasis may need to be, while noting where your overleaves predominate can bring some confidence to that aspect of your communication. To explore this question fully is an entire course in itself, but we can say these quick considerations for now: depending on your strength of emphasis in your Overleaves, ease of contact with us might come in these ways: Inspiration Axis/Dreams Expression Axis/Conversation Action Axis/Affection. For those with an emphasis on the Assimilation Axis, your Comprehension may be a strength, but usually through experiences of contact with another person's strength of emphasis; for example, comprehension may come from the experience of Affection, Conversation, and Dreams. In areas lacking emphasis, we can say these quick considerations for building strength and finding tools: Inspiration/Listening and Dream Journaling Expression/Telling the Truth and Tarot (or other symbolic forms of oracle) Action/Asking for Help and Psychometry. Though we have much more to say about this subject, we will move on now to the next question. [AnnH] : According to Abraham, it's difficult for us to go from depression to joy in one step. It's said that moving up the emotional scale is more beneficial. Can Michael add to this? [freyaisis] : (the emotional guidance system) [AnnH] : More beneficial as in truthful, helpful, fewer expectations. Yes, thanks suz [freyaisis] : your welcome, good question ann [Michael Entity] : We would agree with what has come through the source known as "Abraham." We have rarely seen evolution occur in "one step," but have seen all forms of growth or healing as being in steps as part of a process. What we can do to add to what you have already found as beneficial is to describe our observation of the process for movement from the state of depression to the state of joy, but we would caution that it is not a linear process with a conclusive state, but the progress from depression to joy is a natural cycle of experience while having a body and reaching joy does not mean one is then exempt from the troubles of depression. It is not necessary to avoid or "heal" depression, nor is it necessary to seek only a state of Joy. What will tend to bring a wholeness to the life is the awareness of who "you" are even as you experience those fluctuating feelings. Depression is merely an attachment to one state of feeling and identifying entirely with it, rather than differentiating oneself from the experience of that state. This would be true of joy, too. Joy is a PART of life, not the goal of life. Depression is a PART of life, not a condemnation. In light of that, our process would be one that describes a process of detachment and a broadening of consciousness, rather than that of a healing or escape from a state of feeling. We will describe this in the final transcript, but the time allotted now does not allow for that. (NOTE FROM TROY: this will come soon, but I have to work on it. It should be done soon!) Good day to each of you. Goodbye.
