February 7, 2002 Troy Tolley, Channel Education Part One Note from Janet: This transcript refers to the session as 'Part 1', but it does not appear another session on the topic was ever held. [M_Entity] Hello to all of you. We are here. We will begin with the Energy Report as it stands for the weeks between February 9th through the 22nd of the same month. You are now well into the energy described as Discrimination, and so far, the energy has seemed to be generally maintained in the Positive Poles for most. The most obvious effect from this energy will be in the heightened awareness of a single or couple of MAJOR choices needing to be made. We said the first couple of weeks looked to be calm and an opportunity for restful interaction with Essence, but the next couple of weeks appear to be focused on making the one or two major choices that will alter the life in some way. It could be said to be a pivotal period of time for many of you on a personal level. The period of time that supported time for restful interaction with Essence apparently was to help in the process of gaining more consciousness in Choice. Although Decisions are made all of the time, Choices are made that alter the life and create Parallels. Decisions lead to Choices. When Decisions are made, Personality can be aligned with Essence or not. When Choice is made, the alignment is seriously examined and this is a strong factor in how Choice is made. This could indicate an upsurge in most people, particular Mature and Old Souls, to implement a regular routine now of communicating to Essence in more personal ways. As this is a Moving Centered Year, as we have said in other contact, this will most likely mean you will be taking into consideration how your immediate environment reflects your relationship to Essence. Symbolism is very high right now, too, in terms of home arrangement, dreams, and “omens.” It is a particularly clear time to consult your favorite oracles, mediums, or channels. It is a particularly clear time to speak to and listen to (communicate with) people around you who might have insight, whether they realize it or not. February 12 appears to be highlighted as significant and pivotal. We realize this is the “Chinese new year,” we believe, but we do not refer to the date because of that. It simply seems to be the most sensitive and unformed day within the period of time in question. This tends to imply significance on a larger level. We will take your questions about the Energy Report now. If there are no questions, we will begin on the Topic. [Glenn] I notice a correlation to the period you discuss with the Mayan calendar. According to that, we are just ending a period of “core days,” where we work on core issues. Can you comment? [M_Entity] We have found through many of our students and channels that there tends to be a correlation between our perspective of energy patterns and the Mayan pattern mapped by their calendar. We can only say that this serves to act as validation for us and our students that the Mayan Calendar and its implications are worth examination. The mapping of celestial tides and patterns so far into the future are valid. The interpretations of these patterns, however, are symbolic. This is what makes the validity so uncanny. Astrology as you know it, is certainly not as clear and it does not claim the same detail. The only “flaw” in the Mayan interpretations is when the calendar “ends.” The commonly accepted date is off. [Kieran] Would the teaching of a simple core speaking language (one exists) make a big difference in breaking down cultural barriers and misunderstandings world wide? [M_Entity] Yes, of course. This does not usually occur as a World Truth until the latter part of a Mature Soul Age. Until that time, the focus is from a stronger Young Soul influence on maintaining “culture,” “heritage,” “history,” and “tradition.” The beginning of a Mature Soul world goes through a long and tedious period of “reaching out” in ways to acknowledge and understand all minority groups’ identification. This allows everyone to feel as if they have been included and are a part of the world. Then the task of weaving these differences into cohesion is taken on, and the first method of choice is choosing a common language. This concept is met with less reaction and pride by that time. [Anne49] With reference to the Mayan Calendar’s end date being “off,” will you tell us what the correct date is? [M_Entity] We will look at the Mayan Calendar’s accurate ending as we move through tonight. We are having a block at this time in that area through this channel. [NOTE from TROY: I have not made time to get Michael’s response to this, yet] If there are no more questions, we will begin with the Topic. Education, Part One The topic of Education is a broad one. We will be sharing some basic considerations we believe would help fragments begin a life with optimum potential and development of personal tools. “Education” begins within 48 hours of Physical Birth. The Body is a complete sensory unit and focal point “into” the Physical Plane for Essence at that time. We say the Body is “complete” as a sensory unit at that time because, relative to later influences, certain senses may or may not be heightened or diminished over time. For the first 7 years of a life, in general, the Essence gradually “moves in.” Essence does not live through the Body before that period of time, though there are exceptions. During the first 7 years, past life Personalities of relevance, as well as Essence, “care” for the Body and direct it and those fragments of importance around it for as many opportunities for imprinting as possible. When we say the “Essence and past Personalities direct those of importance,” we do not imply this is done through deceit or imposition. It is done through Agreement formation and fulfillment in most cases, or Karma. However the Body is cared for and guided, between the ages of 2 and 3 the Centering has become habit. This then would become one of its Overleaves. This is the first Overleaf of importance in determining the beginnings of Education on a higher level than primal. Children, then, can easily be said to be from three basic groups: Moving Centered, Intellectually Centered, and Emotionally Centered. There are, of course, those who are Instinctive Centered, and we will address these rare fragments another time. If intentional Education is addressed to fragments before the age of 7, it is helpful to acknowledge their primary Centering during that time as the priority. Moving Centered children, indicated many times by Physical symptoms in the skin (barring basic “diaper rash”) and tendencies to hit, bounce, stand, and/or pull more strongly, would gain more from focus on toys that encourage the EARS or HEARING. Intellectually Centered children, indicated many times by far more vocalizations, screaming, and “tantrums,” would do well with an emphasis on toys that require physical contact, touching. Emotionally Centered children, indicated many times by more quiet, smiling, and “good” babies, would do well with an emphasis on toys which require balance, combining, and color. (Emotionally Centered children see color far earlier than other children.) Before we continue, we will pause for questions about educating children up the age of 7. Are there any questions? [ClaireN] How does the environment affect learning? [M_Entity] If you consider the basic route of education for the child under 7 years of age, then it could be said that any emphasis on the more distracting influences could diminish learning. It could also be said that an OVER emphasis can be damaging. For instance if an Emotionally Centered child has a focus on Hearing, they may lose the important development from the more complementary route of Color, Balance, and Combining. Then again, if they are overexposed to harsh colors and chaos, they may tend to inhibit all interest in anything to complement their Centering. If an Intellectually Centered child has more of a focus on Hearing and Music, for another example, they may lose the important shaping from the more complementary need for Touch and Physical Interaction; though if they are carelessly touched, or indifferently cared for, they can be greatly damaged. As you can see, most caretakers intuitively provide ALL of the possible complementary toys and methods for education. But we can say that if an emphasis of a healthier development is a consideration, the more specific suggestions are important. Did this answer your question? [ClaireN] Yes, thank you. [M_Entity] You may have noticed that what we have suggested as educational focus is not primary to the Centering that is developing. Instead, it is complementary in that the emphasis will create a contrast to create a “rounding out” of the Center, creating less of an opportunity for the Center to live in a TRAP or PART, later. By the Age of 7, the Part is a habit. The greater the comprehension and strength of the Center by that time, the less it depends on a Part, but instead, uses ALL Parts appropriately. From the Age of 7, the focus of Education would best be geared toward defining the “Primary Essence Influence.” We say “Primary Essence Influence” because Essence may or may not be supported by the Overleaves as they rest on a predominate Axis. When it comes to a lifetime, especially before the 4th Internal Monad, the Personality, as the OVERLEAVES define it, is the most important concern, not necessarily the Role of Essence. Emphasizing discovering the Personality and its focus is key in allowing Essence to manifest as clearly and consistently as possible later in life. With that being said, it must be considered that past the age of 7, Education must address 3 very vital areas of the Personality: The Goal, the Mode, and the Attitude. Currently, those with an emphasis on Overleaves resting on the Inspiration, Expressive Axes are lost to the emphasis on the Moving and Assimilative Axes. Creative, Inspiring activities and outlets are not available in any meaningful way until after what is called High School, in most cases. Because the system is focused on only supporting only the Moving or Assimilative Axes, even if programs are in place for Expression and Inspiration, they are ridiculed, belittled, and under-funded, separating that group of Personalities in potentially detrimental ways. We suggest an overhaul of this basic inconsiderate system of education by not only creating methods of teaching that accommodate each Axis, but also accommodate each area of important development in terms of the Goal, Mode, and Attitude. This would mean teaching children from the primary axis of Inspiration through methods that encourage Emotional associations, feelings, and intuition. Teaching children from the primary axis of Action to be taught through sports, physical interaction, and tactile methods. Teaching Expressive Axis children through stories, expression, acting, communication, art, performance and stage. This is highly simplistic, but we realize the time frame we have through this channel is limited. Using the appropriate methods based on Axis, the school “day” would then be emphasized in 3 segments, each focusing on either the Goal, Mode, or Attitude. This basically means developing and encouraging the basic tendencies and interests of the child as he or she has shown interest (the goal), teaching the very basics of intimacy, sexuality, relationships, and exposure to varying cultures (the Mode). Teaching the 7 basic philosophies on the planet (the attitude). We cannot emphasize enough the importance of teaching the 7 basic philosophies before or during the teen years. If there is one, single aspect of education that condemns a society to unhealthy development and division, it is in the lack of understanding your own personal perceptions/philosophy and those of others. We will add here that we have not forgotten the Assimilative Axis. This Axis, of all of them, is the most adaptable and would gravitate itself toward the Axis most meaningful at varying points of development. The irony is in the “backward” approach to using, instead, the whole of Assimilation as the means to teach, rather than allowing those who are naturally Assimilative to adapt. We will pause here for questions, noting that this topic is far from concluded here, though the time is running out. If there are no more questions, we will conclude here. [JNelson] How do the Overleaves figure into how to teach a specific subject matter that a culture has already decided to teach? For instance, how would you teach Inspiration or Emotionally inclined fragments about math? [M_Entity] The premise of a subject would not change. In the case of Math, of course the focus must be on objects and their relation to each other. For each Axis, it is not necessarily that the means to teach would vary so wildly, but that the emphasis in the environment would change. For instance, the Inspirational children would learn Math based in an environment that is less structured, more intuitive, and made room for feelings. The Expressive children would learn through socializing, acting out the theories in story or song, and playing. A stereotypical classroom for the Inspirational children would be calmer, working with 3 dimensional representations, and using discussion, guessing, and emotional language. A Stereotypical classroom for the Expressive children would be boisterous, loud, using humor, food, and smells and lots and lots of personal associations to learn. The difference we propose is that a room with structure, pen and paper, and facing forward, are only specifically beneficial to Assimilation, and secondarily to Action. Beanbags chairs, toys, and stage, regardless of the subject, would keep a Sage’s or Artisan’s attention in any subject all the way through High School. Although we are not complete on this subject, we will conclude here. We will continue this subject at the request of our students, if the interest is there. Good Night.

Atteindre votre But Traduction d’un atelier avec l’Entité Michael (EM) le 15 novembre 2014 Canal : Troy Tolley Source anglaise : https://our.truthloveenergy.com/topic/193-omw-nov-15-2014-reaching-your-goal/?tab=comments#comment-365. Texte adapté du livre anglais « The Book of the Books », 2018. Entité Michael (EM) : Bonjour à chacun de vous. Nous sommes ici, maintenant. Nous pouvons commencer. Aujourd’hui, nous sommes invités à parler des Buts, en mettant l’emphase sur comment chacun de vous, individuellement, remplissez votre But. Gardez à l’esprit que le But est précisément cela. C’est un But. Cependant, comme pour de nombreux buts, la cible visée continue toujours d’évoluer de façon exponentielle tant que l’objectif demeure. Il n’y a jamais de ligne d’arrivée pour un but conceptuel. Il y a des buts tangibles et des buts conceptuels. Les buts tangibles sont toujours alimentés par des buts conceptuels, et les buts conceptuels sont toujours atteints à travers des buts tangibles. Notre système met l’accent sur le But Conceptuel, ou But abstrait, et ressemble plus à un état à atteindre avec une certaine satisfaction, au cours d’une vie. Par exemple, le But de la Croissance ne sera jamais atteint au cours d’une vie, sauf en termes de comment l’individu dont la Croissance est le But trouve ce cheminement satisfaisant. Bien que le But ne décrive jamais la Personnalité, il est inhérent à la biologie d’une Personnalité parce qu’il fait partie de ses Attributs. La raison pour laquelle le But ne décrit jamais la Personnalité c'est parce qu’il est un But. Il n’est pas déjà réalisé. Il n’est pas déjà un état inhérent à cet individu. Cependant la motivation est inhérente, ce qui signifie qu’en comprenant son But, on peut comprendre presque tous les aspects de sa vie et pourquoi ils sont générés comme des expériences. Pour chaque But, il y a ce que nous pourrions appeler les 7 « versions » ou états qui décrivent où l’on se situe dans ce qu’on vise pour ce But. Ces 7 versions ne sont pas nécessairement linéaires et sont les mêmes à travers les vies, les Âges de l’Âme, les Niveaux et les Personnalités. En d’autres termes, une Âme Nourrisson dans sa première vie pourrait rencontrer toutes ces versions d’un But. On ne peut pas rejeter le But. On ne peut qu’atteindre ses différents états, en visant à partir des pôles positif ou négatif. Donc, quelqu’un en Acceptation travaille TOUJOURS sur l’Acceptation. Quel que soit votre But, voici les 7 versions (états) : PAR DÉFAUT — Tendances/Résistances C’est celle où penser, remarquer ou ressentir à propos de son BUT demande le moins. C’est le Par Défaut. Les expériences s’accumulent et l’Essence les trie plus tard. Par défaut, il y a des tendances générées dans la vie à cause du But, et ces tendances peuvent ou non être remarquées, mais parfois on y oppose de la résistance. Quand il y a de la résistance, il y a de la douleur. La vie « semble » amener des tendances vers l’Acceptation, la Croissance, le Flux, etc. et on les navigue ou on les combat. Quand on fait l’expérience de la vie comme un état constant de douleur pour le corps, c’est que le But fonctionne probablement dans l’état Par Défaut. C’est le moyen de navigation le moins conscient. Ce n’est pas une « mauvaise » chose, mais une réalité du spectre de notre conscience. DÉCISIONS — Direction/Déni La prochaine version d’un But commence à inclure une conscience plus attentive à la façon de naviguer avec les tendances Par Défaut. Cela se fait par des DÉCISIONS. On commence à remarquer que l’on peut décider à partir de ces tendances. C’est là que l’on commence à apprendre à dire non à une direction. Tous les fragments apprennent à dire non avant d’apprendre à dire oui. Ce n’est pas la même chose que le Choix. Nous reviendrons plus tard sur le concept de Choix. Les Décisions pavent la voie aux Choix. Donc du côté positif, on apprend à dire non de façon à inclure plus de conscience à sa direction, mais certains peuvent tomber dans la tendance à dire non à tout, niant complètement leurs tendances dans la vie. Quand on constate qu’on est dans un état constant de NON qui empêche les expériences, alors on est probablement dans cette version de notre But. DIFFÉRENCE — Prévoyance/Apathie C’est quand on commence à remarquer les tendances dans notre vie d’une manière qui nous donne le sentiment de pouvoir faire une différence dans ces tendances. Il ne s’agit pas seulement d’arrêter une direction, mais de la changer. Ceci permet d’avoir une vision de l’avenir, de planifier, de considérer les conséquences. Quand les Décisions donnent l’impression que l’on regarde dans des directions où il y a des embranchements sur notre chemin, la DIFFÉRENCE commence à créer ces embranchements. Il s’agit de la première version du But où l’on commence à se sentir responsable du chemin et de l’état du But. Ceci peut être un peu écrasant et la Personnalité peut se dégager de cette responsabilité en tombant dans l’Apathie. C’est là que l’on présume que « ce qui a à arriver, va arriver » ou que « c’est la volonté de Dieu » ou en termes plus actuels de « laisser cela à l’univers ». Ce sont des formes d’Apathie. Elles ne ressemblent pas toujours à ça, parce que les mots peuvent sembler poétiques ou savants, mais ils sont un désengagement de notre responsabilité à créer. EFFORT — Volonté/Limbes Il s’agit de la version du But où les tendances ralentissent énormément sans la participation consciente de la Personnalité. Les expériences ne viennent pas, les tendances sont répétitives, familières et il y a très peu de « nouvelles » choses qui font leur apparition dans notre vie. Pour la première fois, le But requiert votre participation pour la génération d’expériences. Ceci signifie que l’on doit Vouloir faire l’Effort, pour générer activement des expériences. Beaucoup trouvent cela décourageant et tomberont dans des tendances familières qui apportent très peu à leur vie en termes d’expériences, et leur vie tombe alors dans les Limbes. PARTAGE — Intimité/Conflit Il s’agit de la première des versions du But où l’on commence à graviter, intentionnellement ou non, vers ceux qui partagent le même But. Trouver un terrain d’entente dans des expériences aide à apporter de l’Intimité. Le But devient alors une sorte de terrain de jeu partagé par deux ou plusieurs personnes. Cependant, cela peut également venir avec un grand investissement dans son But de sorte que l’on perd la capacité de se lier avec ceux qui ont un But différent, ou même avec ceux qui n’abordent pas notre But de la même manière. Cela mène alors au conflit. Certains des plus grands conflits peuvent survenir parmi ceux qui partagent le même But. DÉFI — Enthousiasme/Frustration C’est la première fois que votre But commence à être véritablement mis à l’épreuve par des forces extérieures. Vous maîtrisez probablement votre But à ce stade, connaissez ses tendances, êtes prêts, partagez, etc., mais « tout » semble se mettre en travers. C’est la première fois qu’il n’est pas « facile » d’obtenir un certain sentiment d’accomplissement de votre But. Ce n’est plus seulement une tendance par défaut qui fait obstacle à votre But, mais c’est une tendance qui semble vous faire dérailler de tout sens de direction relié à la réalisation de votre But. Du côté positif, ce sont l’optimisme et l’enthousiasme qui vous gardent ciblé sur le But. Les Obstacles sont abordés comme un moyen d’atteindre un nouveau niveau du But, et non comme un moyen de le faire dérailler. Du côté négatif, la frustration peut venir, on peut se sentir vaincu, déprimé, en colère et supposer que rien de ce qu’on fait ne peut nous aider. Plutôt que de négocier votre chemin et de faire appel à la créativité, vous continuez à faire les mêmes choses encore et encore tout en vous attendant à des expériences/résultats différents. CHOIX — Création/Indulgence Maintenant, votre But est dans un état de Choix. Vous savez que vos décisions pavent la voie à vos choix, vous assumez vos choix qui créent vos expériences et vous utilisez la créativité pour tous les obstacles, difficultés, défis, etc. L’indulgence est une forme passive de Choix en ce sens que l’on reconnaît que l’on n’a peut-être pas le choix en tout temps, et on le sait, et on est d’accord avec ça, car le choix est actif là où il peut être. L’indulgence peut tomber dans des états de paresse, mais la conscience est tellement présente à ce stade que, même si la paresse n’est pas préférée, elle est assumée comme un choix. Résumé S’il est vrai que ces versions/états ne sont pas séquentielles, elles se construisent les unes sur les autres; toutefois l’on peut être dans n’importe laquelle de ces versions à tout moment. Une fois que vous atteignez le CHOIX, cela ne signifie pas que vous ne retomberez pas, par exemple, dans le Par Défaut. En effet, la Personnalité est réinitialisée à chaque vie. C’est du nouveau. Ce n’est pas une progression. La Personnalité est conçue à partir de la progression de l’Essence, et plus la Personnalité est consciente, plus l’Essence est impliquée dans sa vie, donc il y a évolution, mais la Personnalité peut « revenir en arrière », contrairement à l’Essence. Il est difficile de revenir en arrière, même pour la Personnalité, mais cela peut arriver et cela se produit. Souvent. Plus l’Âme est âgée, plus cela devient difficile. Nous allons maintenant ouvrir la file d’attente pour vos questions concernant ce que nous avons partagé jusqu’à présent, et demander à chacun de vous de partager où vous pensez être dans votre propre version de votre But. LA FILE D’ATTENTE EST MAINTENANT OUVERTE Janet : À un moment donné, vous m’avez dit que 12 Décisions peuvent conduire à un Choix qui crée un embranchement ou un moment pivot dans la vie. Y a-t-il un lien entre ces états et cette corrélation avec le nombre 12? Et je pense que j’ai atteint au moins le PARTAGE mais le CHOIX semble correspondre aussi. EM : Janet, les 12 Décisions qui mènent à un Choix décrivent comment le processus du choix est généré dans n’importe quel aspect de la vie. Les versions du But décrivent comment on progresse dans la capacité de choisir par rapport au But : d’une approche passive ou moins consciente du But à une approche plus active ou consciente. En d’autres termes, les 12 décisions du choix seront toujours en vigueur, avec ou sans conscience ou éveil actif. Les versions du But décrivent donc une sorte de processus d’appropriation des décisions et des choix relatifs au But/aux expériences. GeraldineB : Comme je vis avec une détérioration articulaire, de l’arthrose, qui semble également héréditaire, je ne vois pas la corrélation entre votre énoncé « Quand on fait l’expérience de la vie comme un état constant de souffrance pour le corps, c’est que le But fonctionne probablement dans un état Par Défaut », et mon état actuel dans l’utilisation de la Discrimination. EM : Nous pourrions être plus clairs en ajoutant « OU que le But a probablement fonctionné dans l’état Par Défaut pendant une très longue période. » Lorsqu’il y a douleur chronique, c’est toujours une indication d’une grande résistance à « quelque chose », et c’est souvent relié à des expériences générées par les tendances par défaut du But. Plus la douleur est intense, plus ça fait probablement longtemps. Les douleurs émotionnelles et physiques peuvent être le résultat de plusieurs années de tendances, et cela peut prendre autant d’années pour les inverser ou pour s’en libérer. La douleur intellectuelle ou spirituelle peut aller et venir assez rapidement et est souvent davantage représentative d’expériences plus locales de la Personnalité dans le temps. GeraldineB : Ai-je expérimenté la Discrimination plutôt comme un rejet pendant longtemps ? EM : Oh, oui, Géraldine. Le rejet et rejeter ont été le Par Défaut pendant de très longues périodes. Gardez ceci à l’esprit : votre douleur physique est maintenant une douleur physique. Cela peut vous aider de comprendre ce qui a conduit à cette douleur chronique, mais une fois qu’elle est physique, il est valide de la traiter simplement en termes physiques. C’est pourquoi cela devient physique : pour donner de la tangibilité à l’intangible qui était difficile à gérer à l’époque. Vos traitements, votre soulagement et prise en charge sont tout à fait pertinents pour le passé. Il n’est pas nécessaire de déterrer les anciennes tendances pour gérer la douleur actuelle. La douleur actuelle est un langage symbolique qui parle de cette douleur et de tout ce que vous avez besoin de savoir à son sujet. Nous ne disons pas cela pour décourager tout examen plus approfondi, mais il y a un sens à la douleur. Elle est ici, maintenant. C’est là que vous voudrez être aussi. GeraldineB : Douleur = langage symbolique ? EM : Oui, la douleur est un langage du corps. Elle parle toujours de notre résistance à un certain niveau. Même si cette résistance est seulement celle de la peau qui résiste à une piqure. Plus la douleur est chronique, plus les tendances dont cette douleur parle sont grandes. GeraldineB : Une digression : est-ce également vrai pour toute la douleur dont souffre Troy ? EM : Oui, Troy n’est pas exempté, bien sûr. Sa douleur est liée à un manque de soins attentionnés. Ceci est souvent représenté par son manque d’apport en d’eau. Le manque d’eau et d’hydratation génère la plupart de ses problèmes, et ceux-ci témoignent de sa résistance à permettre des soins attentionnés. Peu importe qu’il puisse embrasser consciemment l’idée. Il s’agit d’une tendance qui remonte à il y a longtemps et qui parle à la personne « la plus importante » de sa vie qui l’a torturé, et ainsi il la porte d’une façon insidieuse en négligeant l’apport d’eau, une force vitale pour le corps. Nous ne pouvons pas parler davantage sur ce sujet pour le moment. Claire2 : Je pense que je suis à Défi, oscillant entre Enthousiasme et Frustration. Dernièrement, je suis très consciente d’avoir choisi « de ne pas » me laisser aller à être frustrée, mais j’ai du mal à maintenir mon Enthousiasme. Je deviens très consciente du Choix, mais je ne sais pas toujours quels sont mes choix. EM : Claire, c’est une question importante. Si l’on découvre qu’on se trouve dans une version négative du But, des solutions peuvent être trouvées dans la version « précédente ». Dans ce cas, le retour au PARTAGE est vital. Vous voudrez tendre la main, créer des liens, générer et entretenir l’intimité avec les autres. Votre enthousiasme viendra de ce défi, de ce retour à quelque chose qui vous manque, qui est l’intimité. Si vous sentez que l’intimité fait déjà partie de votre vie, alors vous pouvez vous tourner vers elle comme un lieu pour votre enthousiasme. Profitez simplement d’être avec vos proches. Cela vous aidera à maintenir votre enthousiasme élevé, votre frustration basse, et à garder votre esprit ouvert et créatif pour quand vous verrez d’autres choix. Si vous sentez que le Partage/l’Intimité fait défaut, alors que cela soit le défi sur lequel vous vous concentrerez. Trouvez cela. Créez cela. Permettez cela. Encouragez cela. KittyMac : Je n’arrive pas encore à connaître et à comprendre le But de Discrimination, tant en général que dans ma propre vie. Je me reconnais dans la plupart des 7 versions que vous décrivez de sorte que je ne peux pas nécessairement dire où je suis en ce moment. Est-il possible d’être partout comme ça ? Ou suis-je simplement en train de m’aveugler pour ne pas voir où je suis vraiment ? EM : Nous pensons que vous pourriez aimer la vérité que « oui » est vrai pour vos deux questions. Tout d’abord, ceci n’est pas inhabituel pour ceux qui sont en Discrimination. La Discrimination peut être décrite comme étant essentiellement comment la Personnalité apprend à choisir, à raffiner les choix et, le plus important, aimer les choix. Ainsi, lorsque l’on n’a pas atteint un certain degré de raffinement du choix, alors tous les choix/directions semblent valides et pertinents. Ainsi, le spectre des versions du But ressemble au spectre qui est vous lorsque vous apprenez à choisir et à raffiner vos choix. La Discrimination consiste à apprendre à dire non et à le penser. Ne pas seulement dire non pour dire non. La Discrimination peut constater qu’elle dit oui à tout jusqu’à ce moment-là. Mais ce sentiment de pertinence pour toutes les versions du But peut aussi être le symptôme d’une personne dans l’état d’EFFORT. Quand on est dans l’Effort, on regarde dans toutes les directions pour avoir des conseils, de la considération, des commentaires, des idées, etc. afin que la Volonté puisse être mise derrière l’Effort. Jusqu’à ce moment-là, les Limbes peuvent ressemblées à un éparpillement et un étalement entre les différents états. Lorsque vous participez à l’Effort, vous vous engagez automatiquement dans une direction qui ressemble davantage à un mouvement vers votre But. Cependant, tout cela étant dit, il est toujours vrai que l’on trouvera de la pertinence et de la familiarité avec toutes les versions d’un But si l’on est vivant et conscient assez longtemps. SUITE… EM : Parce que chacun de vous peut se déplacer dans ces versions de votre But, il est utile de comprendre toutes les versions, puis de noter où vous en êtes. Tel que décrit à Claire, si vous trouvez que vous êtes dans le pôle négatif de votre version du But, regardez la version précédente pour savoir comment retrouver un sentiment de progrès. Si vous trouvez que vous êtes dans la version négative du Par Défaut, retournez à CHOIX et dansez entre la Création et l’Indulgence comme un moyen de vous sortir de la résistance. Vos « devoirs » ne sont donc pas seulement d’explorer ceci sur le plan de votre propre approche de votre But, mais de regarder autour de vous pour voir si votre compréhension des versions du But peut vous aider à comprendre les gens dans votre vie, votre monde. Nous avons donné notre avis. Nous pensons que chacun de vous savez assez bien où vous vous trouvez à un moment donné, et puisque cela fluctue, et que ce n’est pas particulièrement une progression où l’on s’arrête, il est plus logique que vous évaluiez cela par vous-même. Nous savons que Troy nous a invités à commenter où chacun de vous se trouve dans votre But, mais il ne savait pas que nous décririons ce processus comme étant non statique et moins linéaire. Nous pouvons répondre à vos questions. Maureen : J’ai eu beaucoup de mal à « accepter » ou à composer avec l’état de santé de mon mari et son déclin et sa mort éventuels. Mes niveaux d’anxiété « habituels » ont fortement augmenté et la dépression est apparue. Je pense que je me suis éparpillée, mais je suis récemment (je pense) passé au DÉFI. Je veux me libérer du DÉFI de la situation et passer au CHOIX au sein de mon But d’Acceptation. Je veux entrer dans un état de Véritable Acceptation et ne pas résister à ce qui est inévitable, pour nous tous, dans la vie. J’ai reçu un message clair il y a quelques semaines alors que je conduisais. J’ai entendu : l’anxiété est de la résistance. EM : Premièrement, il est important de noter que là où l’on est dans son But c’est là où l’on est. Il ne s’agit pas d’échapper à une version pour passer à une autre. Vous êtes dans une version de votre But parce que c’est le domaine sur laquelle vous travaillez, ou comment vous travaillez sur ce But. Le Défi est exactement là où vous êtes parce que vous êtes au milieu d’un grand défi. Accueillir ce défi est la seule voie à suivre. Vous n’êtes pas au mauvais endroit parce que vous êtes mis au défi. De plus, si vous vous trouvez dans la version négative du Défi, alors cela indique votre besoin de revenir à l’Intimité, de tendre la main, de vous connecter, d’être plus proche de quelqu’un. Vous êtes sur la bonne voie. Avoir de la difficulté à « accepter » la douleur, la maladie ou la mort d’un être cher n’est pas une faiblesse. C’est la vie. C’est naturel. Ce sont des défis, peu importe où l’on se trouve par rapport au But. Vous visez trop haut lorsque vous visez à accepter la mort, la douleur et la maladie. Ceux-ci ne nécessitent pas votre acceptation. Ils n’apportent ni avantage ni paix à vous ou au concept que vous les acceptiez. Seule la conscience doit être acceptée. Que ce soit sous forme de sentience, d’êtres chers ou de toute créature de raison ou de sentiment. Acceptez votre bien-aimé. Votre compagnon. Acceptez-VOUS. Le reste prendra soin de lui-même. « L’anxiété est de la résistance » est vrai, mais pour aller plus loin, l’anxiété est une résistance à la confiance ou un déni de la confiance. L’anxiété est la douleur de la méfiance. La vie est comme une personne pour ceux qui l’aiment. Donc, quand la vie fait du mal à un être cher, ou à soi-même, c’est un choc, cela semble personnel, cela incite à se méfier maintenant de cette « personne ». VOUS avez expérimenté la vie. C’est tout ce que vous avez expérimenté. VOUS n’avez jamais expérimenté la mort. Vous ne pouvez pas faire confiance à la mort. Vous n’avez aucune expérience de la mort. Pourquoi voudriez-vous vous forcer à faire confiance à quelque chose dont vous n’avez pas l’expérience ? La vie est ce en quoi vous avez confiance. Vous la connaissez bien. Peu importe que votre Essence ait eu des centaines d’incarnations. Chaque incarnation ne connaît que la vie jusqu’au moment où elle meurt. Elle ne connaît que très brièvement la mort. La vie ne vous a pas trahie. On peut toujours lui faire confiance. Mais la mort viendra. Elle est aussi inévitable que la respiration l’est pour vivre. La seule façon de basculer dans la confiance de la mort est de savoir que la mort est à l’Essence ce que la respiration est à la Personnalité. Vous connaissez l’Essence. Vous faites partie de l’Essence. Vous pouvez faire confiance à l’Essence. Et, éventuellement, elle prend son souffle. Elle doit respirer pour vivre. C’est comment vous êtes en vie et pourquoi vous mourrez. Mais c’est aussi comment et pourquoi vous n’aurez jamais de fin. Nous savons que la mort et la perte sont douloureuses. Nous n’avons pas oublié. Mais nous pouvons vous assurer que, même s’il n’y a pas de « paradis » au sens propre du terme, et que l’au-delà est moins romantique que l’imagination ne le souhaiterait, « vous » continuez. Nous sommes une entité intégrée avec des millions de Personnalités qui s’agitent parmi nous. Elles ne s’en vont pas. L’intégration n’est pas la même chose que la désintégration. Cependant, pendant que l’on vit, vivons. Pendant qu’un proche malade est vivant, laissons-le vivre. Quoique cela signifie, et cela pourrait signifier quelque chose de terrible ou de beau. C’est la vie. Rendez votre confiance à la vie et vous retrouverez votre confiance envers votre bien-aimé, vous-même, l’Essence et l’existence. Ce retour de la confiance peut aider à soulager votre anxiété, mais pas votre lutte. Pas vos défis. Ils sont là, peu importe comment vous les regarderez. Regardez-les différemment et l’acceptation viendra. Nous devons conclure ici pour aujourd’hui. Mais nous continuerons à nouveau. Comme vous tous, peu importe quand arrivera le jour de votre conclusion. Au revoir, pour le moment. Cela sera toujours « pour le moment » pour n’importe lequel d’entre vous.

ENERGY REPORTMarch 20162016 OVERLEAVESROLE: Server (emphasized all year)CENTER: Moving (emphasized all year)GOAL: Discrimination (emphasized Jan - Mar)MODE: Caution (emphasized Apr - Jun)ATTITUDE: Cynic (emphasized Jul - Sep)CHIEF FEATURES: Self-destruction (emphasized Oct - Dec)MARCH begins the shift of emphasis from the Goal of the year to the Mode of the year. During these shifts in emphasis, there is either a ramping up of emphasis on the current overleaf or a softening and leveling out of emphasis. In this case, Discrimination is ramping up.Discrimination is the process of refinement of discernment and choice. In the Negative Pole, it is Rejection. The Negative Pole describes the lack of refinement of choice through refusing to choose at all or choosing by default what is left after rejecting everything else. There is no effort to choose, only to reject, and consequences are not considered. The Positive Pole is Refinement. This is the capacity to choose based on responsible consideration, active selection, and understanding consequences. We suspect it will be glaringly obvious how these Poles are playing out in your world over March.When Discrimination is so heavily emphasized, so can the weight of worry, anxiety, and agitation increase. This tends to come when you either do not trust your own choices, or you wish to control the choices of others. Or both.One way to help relieve this weight of worry, anxiety, and agitation is to focus on your choices and to work on your trust in these. Work on knowing why you choose, how you choose, and what your choices are. Work on understanding your motivation and learning to trust your process. This is not to say that you will not make “bad” choices, but the more you understand and trust your choices, the more easily it is to recover from any that do not serve you well. As for the choices of others, you cannot control these. You can only invite education, insight, consideration, care. It will be painfully apparent that many navigate from the Negative Pole of Discrimination and only make choices based in Rejection with no consideration for consequences. We say “painfully” apparent because many who make choices in this way cause harm to those who work hard to make conscious choices. Those who shift responsibility to others by way of Rejection can tend to increase the workload for those who are choosing consciously. This is one of the reasons so many tend toward Rejection. It is presumed that this is simply “easier” and that others will do the work of dealing with the consequences. What is not understood is how much harm this does to the self when one rejects the option to choose consciously.The Negative Pole of Discrimination is one of the most damaging to the bodies. The cumulative effect of Rejection takes it toll on the psyche, the emotions, the mind, the body. There is no moment of Rejection that does not hurt. This is cumulative, so the pace of Rejection can last a long time, but the effects are there, and even if not dealt with during the lifetime, it is dealt with after the lifetime. When an older soul has this as his or her own Overleaf, he or she can usually attest to this painful cumulation of effect from the Negative Pole. When Discrimination is in effect for a population or period of time, it can be quite obvious the toll that Rejection takes on that population. Because a population has a collectively cumulative pace, the toll can show up quite clearly.March looks to bring with it a clear look at the cumulative effects of Rejection. This is not imposed but is a natural progression for a species who is still learning how to choose consciously. This cumulative examination has happened on smaller scales in the past, but this is the first time it has been on a global scale. In other words, regardless of how much an individual has learned to refine his or her choices, Humans as a whole have been dismissing the responsibility of choice since arriving. The act of choice is fairly easy to consider in terms of smaller populations for those of similarity, but as the world has shifted toward global awareness and access to diversity and differences, the process of choice has not evolved with that access. To shift fully to the Mature Soul paradigm, the consequences of refusing to consider consequences, not only for yourself but for others and for the planet will naturally take the center stage. This is not a punishment, and we are not pointing to this as a form of shaming. It is simply a natural progression. It is a natural consequence. Some levels of consequence seem quite obvious to the older soul, such as how choices affect one another. The older soul has worked hard to consider those consequences to the point that it can be shocking that it does not come so easily to so many others. However, the older soul is still learning how to consider consequences that go beyond the self and others, and into effects that spread across time, space, creatures, environment, and creation. It is fairly easy to consider the consequences of a choice that might obviously harm your fellow human, but the older soul is facing its own consequences from lack of Refinement and dismissal of the responsibility of choice. For the younger souls, these consequences are playing out in ways that involve how people relate to people and the past. They must begin to look more closely at what has been handed down as truths and begin to dismantle those and build new truths to free them from being locked in the past. For the Mature Souls, these consequences are playing out in ways that involve how people relate to people and the present. The consequences of exclusion and irresponsible choices that affect others are fairly clear to the Mature Soul. The past growing pains are very clear and the Mature Soul is moving away from those. Now that Mature Souls are in a place to practice inclusion, they must learn how to include those who reject them. This practice in awareness and choice can leave Mature Souls locked in the present with no sense of progression or evolution as they simply lock horns, so to speak, and remain trapped in contentious arguments and debates. This new level of Discrimination now requires ever more Refinement, and the capacity to know when to effectively, usefully, and meaningfully say No. The Mature Soul is learning that boundaries are not walls, but are helpful structures to allow room for as many as possible. For Old Souls, these consequences are playing out in ways that involve how people relate to people and the vague concept of the future. The older soul, from late Mature through Old, tends to have fully freed themselves from beliefs handed down to them from the past, and are much more comfortable with allowing room for those who reject them, but now seek to understand the consequences of a choice made with regard for everyone and everything and the future. This means that the Old Soul is now learning how to consider the consequences of her choices in regard to people, the environment, the planet, health, other creatures, on collective potential, and possibility. All three groups described above are working on their own versions of Discrimination and their important new considerations. When this is happening on a small scale or on an individual basis, the work can still be challenging, but there are fewer distractions. However, when “everyone” is working on Discrimination, it can be quite chaotic because everyone is working on (or not working on) their own part of the spectrum of choice and consequence. In other words, the older soul will not get the younger soul to understand his consequences on the future. The Mature Soul will not get the younger soul to understand his consequences in the present. The Mature Soul will not get the Old Soul diving deep into the mud of conflict because he has “been there, done that” and is more concerned about the bigger picture of the future. And so on. As our students are primarily Older Souls, it can be of great relief to focus on your spectrum of choice and consequences. Yes, you can still participate in the process of collective choice, but when you stop considering the future because you are bogged down in distractions of those who are still learning to free themselves from the past or improve the present, you are not doing the work of creating the future. The older soul can focus on his or her choices regarding nurturing a preferred future, caring for the planet, caring for one’s dietary choices, caring for animals, caring enough about these things that you free yourself from the conveniences and trappings of the present. In other words, just because things ARE THE WAY THEY ARE, does not mean that is the conclusion. You are a part of evolution. You are a part of the future. You are the key to what will be here when you return. You are the future. You may be content to make your choices based only in how they serve your present, but you are locking yourself in time so that the wholeness of soul, the wholeness of you, the wholeness of existence is not considered. It may seem daunting and distracting, especially during a period of chaotic effort among so many to do their part in figuring out how to choose and free themselves from where they are locked, or when so many are falling into Rejection and remaining locked in time, but you will not move forward or help others move forward by only looking backward or down. They have their hard choices to make, and you have yours. If you are an older soul, you are part of the path forward. Your refinement of choices will tend to be in that larger context. As March unfolds, the energy of the Mode will begin to come into focus, and this year it is Caution. The beginning of emphasis always begins from the Negative Pole with many who will remain there and many who will seek to move toward the Positive Pole. We will discuss the Mode in further exchanges with you, but it will be helpful to keep in mind that a wave of Phobia will likely be in effect for the next 3 to 4 months. All overleaves are in effect for the year, but the emphasis and amplification of each come in these “seasonal” waves. The Phobia that is already showing up may only grow. We will do our best to suggest useful ways to navigate and transform this in the months ahead.DATES OF INTEREST (dates are approximate):March 17 -- ENERGY SHIFT - PHOBIA - a shift toward the emphasis on the Mode begins around this date and it begins with a look at unwarranted fears and the reactions and actions based on these fears. March 19 -- (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.HELPFUL THOUGHTS OVER MARCH:LOOK OUT, LOOK FORWARD - You cannot control how or where others are looking and how or why they make their choices. You can only get better at making your own. If you are distracted by the process of choice that others are making, it may be time to look at where you are avoiding the work of making refinements in your own process of choice. You can look out for the effects of choices others are making, but you can also look forward to considering the consequences of your own choices that you may be refusing to acknowledge.LEARNING HOW TO CHOOSE, CHOOSING HOW TO LEARN - You share a planet and a species. You do not learn at the same pace. You do not make your choices collectively until you do. You cannot force or accelerate this. You can only make your choices and live as a reflection of that responsibility for choice. You have learned the consequences of choices that lock you in the past or keep you stuck in the present, and now you are learning how to make choices that consider much more dynamic consequences in your future with yourself, your health, with others, with the Earth, and with your fellow Earthlings in their multitude of species in this life and beyond. Learn what you came here to learn. Raise your consciousness in your process of choice. This helps free you to navigate more effectively any impact that the choices of others may have on your life. TLE Host and Resident Michael Channel

This question was originally posted by Sandy on 6/18/08. At the recent Mid-Atlantic gathering, some of us were discussing the way some of the original Michael terms have been "updated" slave to server for one example. This morning I had a few minutes available to read and I opened MFM at random to read a page or two. The page I happened to open to was the diagram for the centers. It reads Higher Intellectual Intellectual +integration - telepathy +thought - reason Higher Emotional Emotional +empath -intuition +sensibility - sentimentality Moving Sexual +enduring - energetic +amoral - erotic Instinctive +atomic - anatomic It seems to me that the currently used Physical in place of Sexual has totally changed the meaning and I don't even know the poles but I doubt they are similar. Although I understand that Michael does not wish us to be too rigid or hung up on words, it seems that words nonetheless have meanings. I would like to know Michael's take on changing terms in general and the major changes in centering in particular. I have even heard talk of an 8th center purporting to have come from Michael. Could they confirm or deny this? FROM MICHAEL (through Troy): QUESTION I would like to know Michael's take on changing terms in general and the major changes in centering in particular. We do not mind if you become "rigid" or "hung up on words," but we do point out that there is no valid point in enforcing one term over another as a correct term for all of our students. There will be many words that work, and each word may work for some and not work for others. That is the peril and pro of the nuances of language and personal truths. It is valid that words do "have meaning" and that there are drastic differences among the intended definitions of words, regardless of colloquial or personal interpretations. Through some of our channels we are able to convey the words that we choose, while through other channels, the choice is overridden by the preference of the channel, and even further altered by the preferences of our students. Though some students and channels will impose their own words and meaning onto our teaching, many of the changes are valid in terms of this teaching being an evolving teaching and not a static teaching. The changes in terminology over time could be said to be from one or more of the following factors: 1) a "higher" move in terms due to evolution in understanding and application; 2) a lateral move in terms due to accommodation of current language or more precision; and 3) a random move in terms to reflect lack of understanding and application. We will explore a few examples below. Some of the changes over time have come from a growing awareness and consciousness among students and channels, with a term progressing to a "higher" point in the pattern to reflect this. An example of this would be in the case of the Goal of Rejection moving "higher" into its own Positive Pole of Discrimination. With Discrimination as the higher emphasis, Rejection then becomes a Negative Pole, and Discrimination has its own Positive Pole, which could be described as Sophistication. In future versions of our teaching, you might find this Goal to have changed into a Goal of Sophistication, with a Negative Pole of Discrimination and a Positive Pole of Complexity or Enlightenment. Some of the changes are lateral moves based on accommodations of the language of the times or more precision in definition, such as with the Mode of Repression into Reserved. Both terms are valid, but "Reserved" is not only more accessible and empowering within the use of language at this time, but is also more precise, in that Inspiration is not just repressed, but specifically reserved for certain people, scenarios, and intentions. It could be said, then, that "Reserved" is a move that encompasses "Repression" and further describes how that repression works, but that "Repression" excludes "Reservation" and does not describe how that repression lifts in specific instances to a controlled flow. Another example of this lateral move is in "Server" from "Slave." The difference between "Slave" and "Server" is negligible enough, but one is more precise and empowering and encompassing than the other, though both are valid. "Slave" describes an Essence that is entirely dominated by an influence, person, or cause, which is often the case for this soul, and therefore an accurate term, but "Server" is slightly broader in its inclusion and awareness of Choice. The Essence Role of an individual and how that manifests is a choice, not a condemnation of design. Many Older Servers over time have proven that the "Slave" is not always interested in offering any kind of service, bondage, or submission to an influence; the Older soul of a "Server" or "Slave" is inclined toward their presence being offered as a gift; therefore, Server is more accessible and intimate for those who are Older "Slaves" because they are reminded of the choice to Serve (or not to serve) beyond the sense of obligation, programming, or influence. Many younger Essences are accurately described as "Slaves" because the younger the "Slave" the more likely they will manifest in a way that displays their programming or obligation, while the Older "Slaves" have refined their use of Choice and now offer to serve when they know they can serve, and don't offer when they cannot. Some of the changes are reflective of the areas of the teaching that are least-understood and utilized. In all cases of naming energies, it is limited to the experience and understanding of the channel or student, and some energies are more inclined to be incomprehensible than others. When it comes to the Action Axes, we have very few students or channels living from those Centers, so it comes of no surprise to us that our students and channels have juggled several terms to "try them on for size," so to speak. This happened to be the case when we first began speaking through our channels and continues to be the case in regard to these particular Centers. They are the "hot potatoes" of the Centers. They are Action. It makes sense to us that they have continued to "move," if you will. However, when we look at these Centers in relation to the rest, we see the simplest terminology (Higher Moving/Lower Moving) to be the most effective and in keeping with a practical foundation, but one may use whatever works. One factor that can help in the substantiation of a term as it relates to our intent is to see how it fits into a pattern that we have shared as an obvious foundation for our teaching. For the most part, we have a highly-organized map to share with you and when a term, phrase, or element distracts from that pattern, or interrupts it, then this term, phrase, or element may not be in line with what we intended to describe. This will not mean that the term, phrase, or element is not useful or meaningful to the individual or group, but that it may not be sourced from our intent, if that matters to you to consider. Considering the "pattern vs distraction" can help in cases such as this. For example, the pattern for describing the Centers is simple: 4 Axes, 3 of which are organized as having "higher" and "lower" components and a 4th as a "neutral," or "assimilative" point. We realize that some may find distaste for the concept of "higher" and "lower," but we remind you that this is an Old Soul Teaching. The issues related to the words "higher" and "lower" are usually not issues for the Older Soul. Older Souls have lost the interest and necessity for organizing and comparing within superficial hierarchies and status. The words "higher" and "lower" are describing exactly how the energies operate for the Physical presence and Personality relative to Essence. If you choose to use words that are less-charged by younger soul interpretations, then that will be your choice. Some have suggested "Cardinal" and "Ordinal," and these are acceptable to us. QUESTION: I have even heard talk of an 8th center purporting to have come from Michael. Could they confirm or deny this? MICHAEL: Though our term of "Center" is fairly synonymous with "Chakra," they are not the same. "Center" is used to refer to a "Center of Gravity" and when one is physical, there are 7 of these from which a Personality may be inclined to use out of habit. We have no 8th Center of Gravity in our teaching. However, there is an 8th Chakra because there are hundreds of Chakras throughout the Physical and Non-Physical Bodies, and while this 8th Chakra will be a part of the system of energies flowing through the bodies, it will not be a Center from which the Personality could habitually respond to life.

January 3, 2002 Troy Tolley, Channel State of the Planet THANKS TO MARYBV for Editing and Moderating! Thanks to ANNE for Moderating! Thanks to ALL of you who came! NOTE: This copy includes some clarifications and editing for the purpose of getting more information from Michael. [M_Entity] Hello to all of you. We are present. We have been asked to address the “state of the planet” as we see it for your year 2002. Though a great deal of this will be extrapolation and probabilities, we will try to remain focused on the more contextual energies, higher probabilities, and how you can use or evade them. We will note here that it will also bear even more light on the effect of the Overleaves for a year’s time when you look at your past year’s Overleaves in retrospect. As we have announced previously through this channel, the Overleaves as they continue to stand for most of the planet at this time are: Priest/Discrimination/Passion/Pragmatist with Moving Center/Intellectual Part and the Chief Negative Features of Impatience/Martyrdom. The time frame of the year ahead will have the general context of Priest Energy and Moving Center. This means, overall, regardless of your ROLE in Essence, you may find yourselves determining your interaction with the world in terms of whether you are serving the Higher Good or not, whatever you or your Community Truths have deemed that to be. The ROLE and CENTER always set the foundation for the general context the world will be using as a medium of expression, inspiration, action, and assimilation. In this case, the year’s emphasis will be more on Inspiration and Action as the filter through which your life will be contributing to, or extracting from, the collective world. Considering the context of the Moving Center, this might mean that many of you will feel moved to literally take part in organizations, groups, outings, travels, activities, etc., as they relate to that collective “higher good.” This Priest-oriented year allows you to take a good, long look at what you believe to be the higher truths in your world and communities as you participate with, contribute to, battle with and/or create those very truths. In a Priest-oriented year combined with the Moving Center, you will find yourselves Physically manifesting what your own Compassion dictates, even if this leads to Zeal. Priest Years, then, bring serious examination of collective beliefs involving Compassion, Inspiration, and Zeal, and how you contribute to them, while a Moving Centered year will provide the medium through which this is all examined and experienced, either Productively or Frenetically. The Moving Center, then, creates a medium in the Physical Plane through your Body, your Environment (including your Pets and Plants you tend as part of your environment), your Physically intimate relationships, your Boundaries, Travel, Transportation, and Health. Of course, there are many more examples we could give, but these are fair enough. We will note here that ALL qualities of ALL Roles are inherent in ALL fragments in varying degrees, which the Overleaves emphasize or challenge in varying lives. Noting where your own Overleaves fall on their Axis in relation to the Cardinal Inspiration and Ordinal Moving will tend to indicate whether your own year will more “involved” in the world or not. Those who will be drawn into the “mix of things” of world or community events will first be those who are Priests/Servers and those who are Moving Centered, but those who have Growth, Passion, Spiritualist, or Saturn Body Types, and those who are Warrior, or in Submission, Perseverance, Cynic, or with Martial Body Types will play supporting roles in the unfolding of larger events, as well. The more your own Overleaves match these highlighted, the more “meaningful” this year will tend to be for you, whether in your personal life or in your experience of the world. In terms of high probabilities, we do see two “new” Priests taking the spotlight this year; fragments who have never been in the spotlight before, but are intending to play a vital role in the year ahead. One is an Early Mature Priest fragment currently living in South Africa, and the other is a Late Mature Priest residing currently in the North Eastern United States. These fragments have elected to take stances for peace that may or may not be implemented, but the effort and ideas will at least be strongly presented and considered. Some ideas are going to be controversial and upsetting, but most will agree it is time for these approaches, whether you do or not. Both Priests are Female. Interestingly, these fragments are not directly involved in Politics or Religion, as many Priests are realizing these fields no longer hold the respected stances needed for inspiration. We remind you that we are not predicting anything; we merely convey the current, higher probabilities, which contain as much possibility for change as anything Many of you will be continuing to deal with a familiar, yet uncomfortable energy as it carries over from last year: the Moving Center and Intellectual Part. Last year had much of the population in the context of the INTELLECTUAL CENTER, Moving PART, with as many in the Moving Center, Intellectual Part. This year should prove to be more confined to the specific contexts of the Moving Center and Intellectual Part. This looks to be a collective decision that “things DO need to change, but let’s THINK before we DO.” Last year resulted in a great deal of damage from those who were using the Intellectual, Moving PART as their force. In the end, the year found a great heaviness of depression and grief reigning as the Emotional Center energy was all but neglected. You may find the next year as exhausting on your emotions, as well, since there is little emphasis on the Emotional Center again. With the Priest Energy of the year, there will, of course, be a vague, higher context of examination in terms of Love and Empathy from the resonance of the Higher Emotional, but the results of that examination will most likely not feel fulfilling until 2003. So, once again, you enter into a year where the Emotional world could be left behind in favor of ideas, actions, and changes. Many of you may feel the impact of this rapid momentum of energy when it feels there is little time to really reflect before the next event is asking to be dealt with. A Moving Centered year moves quite rapidly in perception and this can be challenging to the Older Souls who are healthy participants in the world, yet wish for a “break”. 2002 will most likely seem to have pockets of emptiness and vague memory as many fragments “ride the energy” through the year in a “waking sleep” when they feel they have to. The Late Mature and Old Souls are most likely to find these gaps in memory, or find that the year seemed to have “disappeared.” These sensitive fragments are having a hard time coping with the world events as they are unfolding. Many of these Older Souls have already been through some of the most horrific carnage this planet has had to face in terms of human loss, war, and grief, so there is a great deal of inner repugnance, repulsion, and disturbance being brought up. “Learning your lessons” in areas of war, death, and harm does not make you apathetic; in fact it makes you much more “sensitive” to these very matters. Many may feel suicidal, depressed, angry, or unhealthy as they feel this intensity in the world currently is far “too soon” occurring and intentions for the life are being reconsidered for many of the parallels as to what to do. Those who genuinely do not find any benefit from remaining, will opt to exit within this year from the Older Soul community, or find magnificent, “magical”, “miraculous” events happening for them that tend to remove them from the collective events in some way. Though this reaction to the planetary growth is not limited to Older Souls, it is stronger in that group. Moving Centered years almost always bring a great deal of death in groups and bizarre disasters, along with extreme manifestations in the Physical Plane, for better or worse. For instance, more “advances and breakthroughs” in the biology and medicine worlds will be announced, with a great deal of emphasis on cloning, of course. This year will also bring to light some new, amazing modes of transportation that have not caught on yet, along with a marketable home robotic “maid/butler” that will most likely be controversial. “Terrorist” attacks will continue to plague the US and Europe, though primarily in the US where it will continue to be confusing as to whether these are related to the extremists of Muslims or simply domestic exploitation for personal causes. We do see a great deal of the attacks coming from “within” and being completely unrelated parties, with a stronger intent than ever to create a civil war. The first three months of your year are in the context of Discrimination. Last year had most of the year focusing on Acceptance issues, while this year will focus on refinement and clarifying of what you have discovered are just not acceptable at this point. This will be the year where more collective communication is required in highly sensitive areas where groups are standing behind their rejection of certain aspects of life and society. The first three months now will be in taking a serious, somber look at what really isn’t working for you in life, either collectively or privately. Most of this will be in the context of what work you are doing, how much of your energy is involved in your life tasks, and how your interaction with the world contributes, as we said, to the “higher good”. These first three months may seem quite rocky to some of you as the energy is implemented and stabilized, but by April, the intensity of scrutiny and defining of boundaries should be eased. Those who consciously work through these energies will most likely find themselves in what would seem to be a “better”, more sound place in their life and material world. Those who resign themselves to overwhelm, or are simply not interested in dealing at all, may find themselves feeling rejected, isolated, and on the fringes of a rapidly-moving year. This is not a rule, of course, nor is it a means to “scare” you; we merely comment on the general possibility of how fragments may react. April through June will focus more on the MODE of the year, and the Goal will have taken footing by then. This year, April through June looks to be the most exciting, volatile, and erratic as fragments find passion for will now start to be indulged in. When you reach the phase of Passion Mode, many will find this time to be where the emphasis is on your most intimate relationships and how “true and meaningful” they are in your life. Considering this is a Passion year, the examination will be on whether you are actually developing more of who you are by being in these relationships, or if you are simply identifying with that person and use them to superficially define you. Neither is good or bad, but the latter will be less comfortable in a year of Discrimination. Relationships will have their struggles during that period of time, and we would suggest keeping this in mind as you unearth all the reasons to remain with or leave your friends, work (coworkers), mate, etc. Try to remind yourself that by bringing knowledge to the surface about what you are getting/receiving from your interactions is simply an opportunity to clarify what it is you want and need. This can be approached, first and foremost, through communication. If there is no ability to communicate about what you want/need, then a more definite decision will feel pressured into needing to be made. April through June seems to be bringing with it a couple of potentially strange natural disasters or accidents, including a most devastating tidal wave to a major city. Humans are still not learning the benefit of keeping population down, and with the recent disasters, the Instinctive Centers of many are scrambling to create even more babies as a life-affirming act. This is not good work, but that is a lesson every species will tend to at some point. Until that area of responsibility by a Species is consciously dealt with, the Instinctive will always opt to leave a life, than to threaten the collective Species that houses Essence through a Cycle. When the population of a Species begins to threaten its own survival, then larger groups of fragments exit in more bizarre and unexpected ways. July through September brings some Pragmatism as the “year-to-date” gets examined through the collective Attitude, or perspective. Those who have created a momentum through the year in the negative poles will now take root in their actions with a severely dogmatic approach. If any violence between groups is going to occur on a larger scale, it will most likely be at this time. Last year found the Cynic Attitude coming to the forefront of perception, ironically from the POSITIVE POLE. We remind you that the Cynic sees the OTHER sides of whatever seems to be the obvious. In the recent tragedies and grief, a great deal of “love” and global camaraderie found its way out from the original denigration of a few. We suspect the same may occur this year, as those who are dogmatic will be faced with those who are truly practical in their perspective of the world. This practicality could create systems that work to appease even the most disgruntled. And quickly, the end of your year will come with the continued energy of Impatience (Intolerance) from last year, while Greed is now replaced with Martyrdom (Victimization). Greed cannot work this year, but highlighting all who are victimized and/or intolerant can work with the other energies being generated. We note here that the Chief Feature part of the year does not necessarily mean that energy will manifest, but that it may simply be the issues and fears of the collective that have the opportunity to be addressed. We will discuss more about these Overleaves as the year progresses, but we realize your time is limited with us tonight and we are here to respond to your questions, as well. We also realize we will not be able to address all of what this year has in store with its probabilities, but we can at least provide this basic picture. [nemo-sam] If you can see the future, then can you see the past the same way, if you are outside of time? [M_Entity] Yes, we can “view” the past, but it also has probabilities as much as the future. Depending on your current position within your life, your “past” may be a particular timeline that has elements which are NOT a part of your “original” timeline. Some of our Older Soul students may even have the unusual, but natural, experience of “remembering” TWO or more completely different versions of the same event, even within one lifetime’s memory. This can happen individually and collectively. Time, as it is relative to a Personality, is more like the Personality is continually at the hub of a large wheel of probabilities, with as many “spokes” behind as there are before. “Turn the wheel” and you have a new set of probabilities, past and future. [ShannonB] What is the likelihood of armed conflict breaking out in India and Pakistan this year (in this parallel), and is it likely that nuclear weapons will be involved? [M_Entity] The likelihood is quite high at 47%, though the use of Nuclear Weapons only stands at 13%. Though the conflict could be diverted, we have seen the probabilities continue to move toward stronger, armed conflict. The knowledge of Nuclear Weapons being able to be used is sometimes enough to transform a conflict into negotiation, but in a year of potential rejection, identification, and zeal, the odds are higher that someone, somewhere, will want to destroy, rather than compromise. [Annette] Could you please comment on the economy in the United States in 2002? Will we be financially affected by world events (negatively or positively)? [M_Entity] The economy in the US appears to be on a staggering momentum, creating a constant scare, but never truly plummeting. We see the next year as being similar to the past year, though a bit more intense and anxious. The US is “smart” in its collective energy and though the world may appear to be falling apart at times, a large group of Young and Early Mature souls will continue to generate creative, fun, and meaningful prospects for the country. World Events will actually affect the US in “positive” ways because the US will continue to try to work with all governments in creating a more global “village,” than to simply remain in power. This “global village” concept may make some fragments nervous, but the intent is not an overtaking of the world with a single leader or government, but rather a commitment shared between nations that is geared toward compassion, prosperity, and peace. [MajickKat64] What sort of further terrorist attacks are likely in the US this year, and in what states might they most likely occur? [M_Entity] We continue to state that the Mid Western United States are the most vulnerable. There is still energy indicating several large hostage situations, building bombings, and airline disasters. Fear, though, is far more powerful than a bomb, so smaller incidences to create insecurity and panic seems to be the decided method, such as the poisoning of a small town’s water supply. Though this kind of action would be contained and diverted rather quickly, it can be a powerful method to create fear. Even our mentioning of it could do the same, and that is not our intention at all, but this is how powerful these images are. New York City and its mass transit and strong communications are still vulnerable, along with Chicago, and San Francisco. Please note that we are responding to your question, we are not predicting. These events have not come to pass, nor are they inevitable. They are the probabilities that have remained consistent and we share them because we are asked. They are not shared to create fear. Some of you already know this information as your intuitive selves can feel the validity. [Leela] In what country/city is this tidal wave a possibility? [M_Entity] Japan is most vulnerable, though areas south of Japan might be more involved, along the coasts of China, around Shanghai. Alternately, India has a high probability, as well. Either would be created from a devastating earthquake along a fault line in the deep sea. [MajickKat64] Ok thank you, will you briefly comment on the success of the new EURO? [M_Entity] This is one of the more innovative and practical steps toward the sharing of resources and values equally. This is a mature soul concept that will continue to struggle, but only in terms of its understanding. We do believe it will remain and the concept will spread to the US, as well. As more and more of the world thinks Maturely, so will the unifying means of exchanges. In most of your futures, there is a common currency across the planet, as well as a common clock. We will also note here that a great deal of your most positive changes in the world probabilities will come from Early Mature and Late Young Souls as they are both still quite aware of the material world, while striving for peace and equality. Striking that balance as a move forward for your planet is no small task, but one that is helped along when communities seek to understand the proposed changes and benefits. Good Night to all of you. We will “flesh out” the report in a more comprehensible and useful way with Troy so as to have a reference for validation in the year ahead. We conclude here.
