From a Private Live Chat - February 28/17, channelled by Troy '...This was meaningful on many levels, not just by synchronicity, but by design. This was what was immediately requested. The Personality who is your Mother "sat" with you as part of her transition and took notice for the first time the awe of your creation and life. It was a chance to listen in a way that was not limited by memory, space, time. It was pure Essence Recognition that the Personalities embraced. It was a new memory that helped "replace" what was felt to have been briefly lost to age. The Personality had built tremendous constructs of defense that began to break down over the life and allow the innocence that was "buried" to have sight and hearing again for the first time in many years. As that innocence was regained, it was of great concern that the cherished memories from the perspective of innocence would be lost, and that the defensive, closed self would regain control. Upon death and realization that consciousness persisted, it was of great importance to "sit" with that which her innocence cherished most in the life, even if it had been lost to defenses and walls during the life...’

November 6, 2005 Troy Tolley, Channel Michael Chat – Open Floor [Michael_Entity] Hello to all of you. We are here. You may begin your questions and as we understand it, Lori is first. [upstaate] I am asking for a Mini Energy Report for this month. [Michael_Entity] November marks the middle of the cycle emphasizing the processing of this year’s Chief Features of Self-deprecation and Arrogance on a collective level. This means that you have entered the psychological season, so to speak, which will allow the processing of the fears that are collectively generated in response to “inadequacies” and “vulnerabilities.” In most cases, this season of processing the collective fears is not done intimately, but played out in politics or larger-scale events. In this season, the emphasis on inadequacies and vulnerabilities has been glaringly evident in American politics. Even the concept of “Democracy” is being scrutinized to the point of revealing the absurdity of its lack of true implementation and weak points. There is a “quiet storm” brewing in the American (north) politics and November appears to be a pivotal month in defining how that will play out publicly. We are not speaking ominously, but simply stating the obvious: revelations are on the horizon and they will occur with grace or they will occur with tragedy, but probabilities show that they WILL occur; more specifically, a “domino-effect” of infrastructure collapse in what you call your current government (in the United States). When we state that that this “will” happen, we realize this word implies solid prediction, but we say that word in response to a 97% probability. In other words, the momentum is in place, regardless of how drastic a change might be made at this point, and is headed toward a “wall.” It is highly likely this momentum will hit that wall. At this time, we simply do not see your current President of the United States completing his term. We can also state this with some amount of unusual certainty because of the anticipation of those in the Astral; “all eyes” are focused for “the show.” To summarize the “mini-report,” then, in terms of world events: it appears most of you will find some kind of impact at some point as a result of the inadequacies and vulnerabilities being revealed within the current government of the United States. The pivotal period of time appears to be during this month, November, but the public results may not be obvious until later. On a more personal note, you may find yourselves walking through a period of time now wherein the flaws of OTHERS seem to be taking their toll on you. Distractions with the failures of OTHERS may be used to your advantage as a means to avoid your own flaws and vulnerabilities. This year's passage through the season of Chief Features appears to have a stronger emphasis than usual. A great many things have happened in the world over your year that have left the public angry and in want of finding someone to blame. Some years move through the Chief Feature season with ease and other years are buried in its emphasis. This year's months of October, November, and December may find each of you with at least one major challenge involving how to maneuver through the effects on you because of another person's choices or actions. It is a powerful opportunity to explore your own Overleaves, how you respond to the flaws and choices of others as they impact you, and doing this from the angle of the positive poles and make a shift in the dynamic that would normally leave you trapped. Regardless of your own Chief Features, there will still be an emphasis around you in relation to the year's chief features of Self-deprecation and Arrogance. The end of your year is always a passage through the evaluation of what you accomplished in the time that has passed since beginning of the “new year.” Therefore, November usually marks the painful passage of time wherein COMPARISONS begin to be your means of assessing your days. We suggest keeping check on your own Chief Features as you begin to find yourselves comparing. Comparing is a valid process of evaluation, but many of you use it against yourselves or against others. Reminding yourselves that it is a TOOL for use, not for abuse, will help in the month ahead. [Annsge] Deciding whether to follow up Lori's question….What are the probabilities of a complete change in government? What will this change expose? [Annsge] In US gov't? [Michael_Entity] The probabilities of a complete change are nearly inevitable, though most likely not fully implemented before another approximate 50 years. However, the current administration is precariously built in a way that as one member is: pulled into scrutiny, the entanglement from that person reveals other flaws, creating a near-cascade effect in revelation. The long-term change will be based on the exposure of a corrupt government whose impact upon the public is far more insidious and oppressive than ever considered possible. This is not sinister, but merely a result of withholding and hoarding of resources that have always been available. Much of what are concerns in the American culture and society are concerns that are utterly reversible within a single year, if resources were freed. The short-term change for which we see November as being pivotal is simply the revelation about the incompetence, manipulation, and deceit that permeates the current administration. We have always seen this presidency as the pivotal presidency that has the potential to end an outdated system of government, voting process, and public assistance. [Tmk1802] Back to basics. Is Male/Female ratio constant or does it change from life to life? [Michael_Entity] It is a constant. What changes is the ways in which this is expressed and the ways in which it is eventually balanced. The higher ratio is a good indication of how your incarnational process began, as Male bodies are 100% Male Energy and Female bodies are 100% Female Energy; therefore, if your ratio is higher Female, it is fairly safe to say that you began your incarnations in the bodies most comfortable. As the Essence evolves, so does the want for balance, so choosing bodies to counter your higher ratio begins at some point. Eventually, bodies are no longer the only means to bring balance and expression, but Events, Relationships, and Experiences are utilized. [Tibtyk] Greetings, Michael. “Essence” is, to be honest, mainly a word for me. Possibly a feeling, too, but vaguely so, at least not on a conscious level. How can I prove its existence to myself? [Tibtyk] And how to make the contact between Essence and Personality stronger, more reliable and more intimate? And, of course, more conscious. [Michael_Entity] The most powerful “proof” you have of your Essence is in any mirror you pass. It is only a matter of perception as to where you see the line drawn between “you” and “essence.” In the same way that one could ask for proof of Love, only symptoms can be highlighted or emphasized, giving an indication that something valid, yet amorphous, is involved. The line between “you” and “essence” is an illusion, so to simply see yourself as alive, animated, choosing… this is the most tangible proof. However, there are experiments to which you can invite your essence to partake. Essence delights in the opportunity to exist alongside the Personalities it creates. We cannot emphasize that enough. Much like an awkward parent standing on the sidelines from a teen who thinks he is “all that,” when Personality turns to Essence and asks if it wants to join, it is immediately available and with tremendous amounts of energy, truth, and love. Adjust your inner and outer vision to a decisive stance that you are gently and enthusiastically open to Essence. Then determine what you would like to have as “proof.” It could be as simple as a synchronicity or as complicated as a change in your life. Ask Essence to bring itself to your awareness at 7:07 every day. And watch this happen. Ask Essence to bring itself to your awareness by helping infuse you with the energy and empowerment to alter your life to a point of absolute abundance on your terms. And watch what happens. In all cases of experimentation YOU will be key. You will not see the 7:07 unless you LOOK. You will not experience the abundance you seek unless you DO. And in the end, you will then find the greatest proof of Essence, is you. [llawryf121] I've posted more detail over on the forum, but basically — what does it mean to “awaken the lightbody”? [Michael_Entity] That would be a phrase that is not one we would use, with the definition being relative to those who would use it. We suggest seeking definition with that context. In many cases of its use, we see that it is a more glamourous phrase to describe a process of owning the energy that is yours and using it in a way that we would describe as Good Work. In our system, then, it could be likened to the True Personality. Or Manifesting Essence. The fusion of Personality and Essence into a cocreative process. We believe that may help find a bridge between the original context for that phrase and how it might be translated into our system. They are the language of glamour [kittlekats41] For those scholars among us, I would appreciate any advice on how to release physical energy and injuries ‘held’ in the body or to process them more effectively [Michael_Entity] Laughing is the most powerful agent of healing for a Scholar. Laughing is result of the reconciliation of paradoxes, and paradoxes are part of the pain of a Scholar. [Carrot Wax 1] k, now my question has changed to extend this question to Sages and other roles :-) [Michael_Entity] The Scholar, more than any other Role, is more likely than any other Role to remain Emotionally isolated, generating the most elaborate of walls around his or her Personality. This Emotional isolation becomes an art and the ends to which the walls are justified by a Scholar are incredible. In many cases, the Scholar is literally clueless to the extent his walls isolate him. The effect this tends to have is a stagnancy of energy, for lack of a better phrase; the Emotional body grows “stale,” “moldy.” Laughter, then, is an immediate rush of fresh energy into the system of a Scholar, infusing for a moment the Emotional cells, so to speak. The walls that isolate the Scholar are in place because the Scholar cannot reconcile some things that require an Emotional element; therefore it becomes a paradox to the Scholar and he must isolate until it is “figured out.” Until he realizes that not all things can be “figured out,” but that they can sometimes require absurd hilarity as a means to bring resolution, he is locked in a cycle of theories. For the Scholar to identify several constant, reliable sources of laughter can literally save his or her life, or at the very least, alter the flow of energy to the point of bringing peace and resolution and health to a number of areas. How absurd for us to suggest for those Scholars battling cancer to “laugh it off,” but that is precisely our point. It is not a magickal solution, but it is one through which a Scholar can then find the means to more effective solutions, if needed. We have already addressed this issue in a lengthy session in the past, offering insights for all Roles. We will include that in the transcript for this session. In that case, we believe we have addressed Matthew's question for elaboration, and will respond to Suz's question as the final question. [Note: In lieu of adding the transcript mentioned, here is the link: Michael Speaks: Conscious Connection to Essence (3 of 3)] [freyaisissuz] We would like comment from Michael about exactly what is a secondary conscious channel with an agreement with Michael. Thanks [Michael_Entity] We are unclear as to what your question is. [freyaisissuz] What does Michael say is a ‘secondary conscious channel’ so students will better understand the concept? [Carrot Wax 1] is there a context this term was used in? [Michael_Entity] We do not recognize the phrase as being a part of our teaching, though one of our channels may have chosen it as a means to convey a concept. [freyaisissuz] It is information given to Al by a Michael channel. [kittlekats41] can you rephrase it Al? [llawryf121] probably should follow up with the original channel [upstaate] it was channeled that Al had an agreement with the Michaels, using the phrase, “as a secondary channel” A fragment will have an agreement to be a primary channel. What is a secondary? secondary conscious channel, that is [kittlekats41] would ‘conscious channel’ mean as opposed to a trance channel perhaps? [freyaisissuz] That's how Al understood it, Kate. [Michael_Entity] We would suggest asking that channel, as this phrasing did not originate with us. We suspect this is a phrasing used by our channels to describe a fragment with whom we have agreements to channel through, but not on a largely, public scale. It is not uncommon for certain phrasing to be generated by the channel as a means to convey a concept we have not created phrases for, ourselves. [freyaisissuz] That makes more sense, he doesn't care to go back to the previous channel. [kittlekats41] Would you have time perhaps to elucidate on the type of channeling agreements you have with students, Michael? freyaisissuz: Excellent, much better phrasing, Kathryn – Al [Michael_Entity] We do not have time, but that is simply the nature of our plane. [kittlekats41] hehehe of course, silly me:-) [Michael_Entity] We will conclude here, but include a response to that final question for the transcript. [ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN RESPONSE TO FINAL QUESTION] (Disclaimer from Troy: I am asking this question as best I understood it, but I am uncertain if I conveyed it to Michael in the way the questioner meant it.) Please elucidate on the type of channeling agreements you have with students, Michael? [Michael_Entity] We have three tiers of Agreements with fragments who work with us in the form of “Channeling.” “Primary Students” are those fragments with whom we share Agreements that extend across many lifetimes and, of course, from before birth for this current lifetime. Our teaching is used by these students as one of their primary philosophies, if not their only primary philosophy. “Primary Channels” are those fragments with whom we share Agreements that extend across lifetimes and, of course, from before birth for this lifetime to use our teaching as a primary philosophy, and to help impart our teaching as a primary philosophy by giving us a medium of expression into the physical plane to our Primary Students. “Secondary Students” are those fragments with whom we share no original Agreement, but we develop an Agreement to accommodate their experimental exposure to our teaching. These fragments will most likely take only parts of our teaching as needed and not use it at a primary philosophy. “Secondary Channels” are those fragments with whom we share no original Agreement to act as our channel, but we develop an Agreement to accommodate these fragments who feel a strong drive to build their own teaching upon our philosophy. “Tertiary Students” are those fragments with whom we share no original Agreement and the student may never find valid contact with a channel, but we develop an Agreement to help guide in the use of our teaching as they might choose to use it as a guide for a period of time. “Tertiary Channels” are those fragments with whom we share no original Agreement, and these fragments do not have valid channeling skills, but we develop an Agreement to help build those skills, even as he or she may grossly misrepresent himself or herself. In other words, anyone claiming to channel us will automatically find a connection to us, though their ability to hear or convey us may be severely limited, despite their eagerness and sense of connection to us. “Regulators” are those fragments with whom we have Agreements (which may or may not have been generated before birth) to not only gather tangible records of all works offered by our Primary and Secondary Channels, but to help question, authenticate, and validate (and invalidate) this material. In some cases, there is overlapping Agreements, such as an Agreement to be a Regulator while also being a Primary Channel or Student. Ultimately, we come to all who ask. Our teaching is accessible to anyone.

August 3, 2003 Troy Tolley, Channel MICHAEL SPEAKS (Online) – Energy Report with Q&A [MichaelEntity] Hello to all of you. We are here. We will begin with the Energy Report as requested: It appears the more intense energy of June and July is waning as a lull is settling in. This comes after a great deal of physical and mental activity during June and July. As many of you already know the months of June and July brought with them a great deal of Clarity and Implementation. Most of our students dealt with some form of serious change during those months with some form of revelation being implemented. As we had mentioned in our previous report, it is not unusual to implement a serious change, but the difference was in the fact that so many of you participated in such an investment. After June’s and July’s activities and shifts, August should bring about some relief, some “down time”, a short break. For most of our students (especially those in the United States) calmness is moving through the collective consciousness, and while this is an opportunity to simply relax, most will find this calm to be unsettling and distrustful. Because this year is rooted in the energies of the Moving Center, it may be difficult for you to simply relax and peacefully go about the routines of your life right now. A momentum is in place and calmness may be difficult to settle into, even if only briefly. Even for those who are quite sedentary, you may be associated with another fragment who will keep you restless along with him or her. Our suggestion for the next 3 weeks or so is to take advantage of the calm, to make a decision that for at least one of the weeks, you will trust your life; you will simply do the routines of your day, and know that you are safe. For those who have made a major change in July or June, then August can be seen as a Maintenance month, continuing the implementation of your changes, getting comfortable after some of your personal shifts. In light of the opportunity to choose Calmness over the next three weeks or so, we will not complicate matters by elaborating the Energy Report too much. We already know that many of you will choose to follow your restlessness and that is as valid a choice as choosing to rest. We will help in your ability to consciously make your choice by stating that if you find you are choosing restlessness, or if you seem to not be able to relax even when you try, that you can help generate peace for even a few hours at a time by simply reminding yourself that YOU ARE SAFE. In most cases restlessness is due to some form of control issues, and if you let your guard down for “one second” things will “fall apart”. Many times those who are restless don’t even know what it is they worry about, but in many situations that worry is simply rooted in feeling unsafe. Those who “worry” to the point of being unable to relax are the same children who were usually punished in some way for behaviors deemed unacceptable. “Worry” and restlessness are only for superficial appearances then. As long as you are worried, or as long as you are restless, then even if you are judged, rejected, or reprimanded (internally or from external sources), at least your worry and restlessness will show you tried. This is not to diminish the very real worries of life, or the restlessness of certain experiences and bodily/hormonal fluctuations, but when a fragment feels he or she CANNOT choose against these things, it may be rooted in that lack of feeling safe. For those who choose to access and experiment with the energies available over the next few weeks, you can experiment with how often you can look at your life and say with trust and truth that you are safe. While the past couple of months helped support serious changes among most of you, this month’s energy can lend support in your reacquainting yourself with the “groove” of your life from the stance of Trust. We will now take questions from those who have them. QUESTIONS [infoloon] I thought virtually all children in this culture were punished for behaviors deemed unacceptable? [MichaelEntity] And the act of “worrying” is as pervasive. [Whillo333] Is the unsafe feeling from the unstable political and economic status of “the world” and the “fear” that seems to permeate society now? [MichaelEntity] It is actually rare that any older soul (Late Mature through Old) ever feels completely safe within the lifetime. Regardless of the state of any culture, society, country, or planet for that matter, the Older Souls have known many tragedies and have experienced many struggles these souls know all-too-well how easily a life can shift and change. Over many lifetimes the Essence gains experiences in managing these shifts and perils of the physical plane, but each lifetime also brings a new Personality that has never experienced death or struggle. [pitcoozer] That is a revelation – re: late mature and old souls .. and feeling safe. [MichaelEntity]This is a strange dichotomy that will eventually resolve itself as the Personality learns to access and trust what it considers its Essence. [pitcoozer] Explains a lot – the trust is like the candle blowing in the wind .. [Whillo333] Thank you. As an old soul, your comments are very meaningful to me. [MichaelEntity] As that dichotomy resolves itself, the Personality, while still being “new”, will not only find access to the memories of hardship and deaths, but also to the reality of the immortality of its Essence. [pitcoozer] Yes – alleviates the fear of death itself, and increases the zest for living and being .. [MichaelEntity] As we have said many times, but will say again, it is the Personality that “controls” the lifetime, not the Essence. While Essence can offer an overall theme to the lifetime, it is the choices and decisions of Personality that create the path of a lifetime. As each choice is made, Essence can “spin off” versions of that lifetime into “parallels”, allowing thousands of versions of the Personality to fulfill itself. [Whillo333] Can the 2 be at odds throughout the lifetime? [MichaelEntity] There will always be AT LEAST one parallel that will find resonance and recognition of Essence, following the original intent of the lifetime. There will almost always be at least one lifetime that completely rejects the notion of a soul and creates its own path. [Whillo333] In which case, what happens to the soul? [MichaelEntity] So, in answer to the original question, the sense of unsafety we speak of is that which is inherently a part of any life, especially of the older soul. Eventually, and as part of any final cycle of lives, the Personality and Essence become “One”, and a kind of “telescoping” of all lifetimes occurs, with all Personalities across time finally experiencing a sense of Home. In answer to your question, Whillo, the soul observes that lifetime/parallel and learns. [freyaisissuz] Wil’s que: Wil was channeled as having a secondary channeling agreement with Michael. A definition from Michael about a “secondary agreement” and how it differs from primary would help validate the contract for him and others. [MichaelEntity] Different channels will create different ways of describing our Agreements with us. Those who use “secondary” to describe an Agreement with us would usually be describing the seeking of direct contact with us for personal reasons, along with the ability to offer that contact to personal circles of friends or family. A “secondary” Agreement would not include any pull to “go public”, while a Primary Agreement may not only involve publicity, but the use of the Agreement as a source of income. [schleiv] How can we learn to trust the action of just letting your day go by. How do you know its right to just let it flow? At times I feel this, when doing my art but later, I think I could have been much more productive, where does the trust begin and the uncertainty end? [MichaelEntity] As with most distrust, it comes from speculation, not valid perception. Trust begins when you can learn to differentiate and choose between Speculation and Valid Perception. When you are in the middle of your day, trusting, flowing, and generally feeling synchronized with your life and Essence, it can safely be said that you are in a state of Trust. At the end of that same day, upon reinterpretation, you may then find yourself speculating, extracting upon retrospect all of the things you could or should have done; therein lays the source of your distrust and worry. Whether in speculation before or after an experience, you will always find ways that you could or should have done something. The ability to learn and evolve comes with a “double-edged sword”, meaning that along with that ability to evolve, you also have the ability to extract possibilities/probabilities that could/would have worked better or differently. [emberton@…] Thanks Michael, here is my question: If we find ourselves permeated by worry and fear-of-letting-go during this period, what method(s) or technologies do you recommend to facilitate a break in this pattern, beyond what has been mentioned previously? [MichaelEntity] We only suggest making the attempt to consciously choose Trust and to do so with the knowledge of why you may have difficulty doing so. There is no other way to truly make the choice. The most profound method of choosing Trust/Safety is in the simple act of STOPPING. By this we mean to literally stop moving, stop fidgeting, stop thinking about anything distracting, even for one minute or 30 seconds, and stating with as much gentleness as possible… “I AM SAFE. THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN ME AND MY CHOICES RIGHT NOW. I AM SAFE.” Taking 30 seconds to feel safe and to choose trust can have a calming effect on the body and mind for at least an hour or so. We suggest stating the words once, gently and with as much truth as you can, and HEAR THEM. Repeating them over and over may create a reaction from your Instinctive Center that something is wrong and requires trying to override reality. So state the words calmly, plainly, sweetly to you, and listen to how they sound. It would do you well to understand that the words being stated will not change your life. Instead, they will be words that invite a new perception, which can then change your experiences of your life. Taking those moments to invite the perception, allowing more conscious and loving interpretations of the lifetime, lead to more conscious and loving choices. [H2OSprtlvr] Do you suggest that August is a good month to review personal fears such as with interpersonal relationships? All fears, I suppose. [MichaelEntity] Any Month is always a “good month” for any introspection. In your case, it may actually be a “good time” to give yourself a break from your constant internal scrutiny. While we are not suggesting you choose against your own inclinations, we will say that some of your solutions you seek can be found by not “looking so closely” at the matter at hand. You are submerged in an experience that could be benefited from a bit of distancing from it. The past few months were for such close scrutiny and clarity. August could be used to say, “Why did I ever think anything was ever wrong?” This does not mean you have to dismiss any responsibilities you feel inclined to work through, but it can help you make clearer, gentler decisions and Choices. Modern lives are not wrought with Survival as many of your past lives have been, but are wrought with “Improvement”. The greatest “improvement” you can make on any life or relationship is in freeing yourself from assuming there is some conclusive improvement to be reached. You will ALWAYS “improve” and we have yet to have seen any end to our potential evolution. We quote the word “improve” because of its being a misnomer. There is only Evolution. “Improvement” is relative. Relationships, internally and externally, will ALWAYS Evolve, which may be seen as an Improvement or not. [Anla899] What are ways to synchronize personality and Essence on a day to day basis? [MichaelEntity] There are three very simple and effective ways of synchronizing Essence with Personality: Writing to Essence, Talking to Essence, or Meditating to Essence. [Anla899] How do we do those? [MichaelEntity] Most fragments assume that Essence “knows all” about the lifetime being lived, but that is not the case. Essence only “knows” what YOU inform it of, which is why some lives can seem to spiral out of control, reaching a point where crisis is the only time the Personality seeks to contact its soul. Essence can only experience your life THROUGH you. There are moments within the life called “Instinctive Review” wherein the Personality “uploads” the experiences of the life to-date and Essence can then help to direct the life, if the Personality will allow it. Otherwise, it is up to Personality to keep the lines of communication clear and up-to-date. Keeping any form of a journal, whether daily or weekly or monthly can help keep Personality and Essence in contact and more united. For journaling, simply write about your life, stating clearly what it is you seek to change, stating clearly about areas in which you believe you would like help from Essence. Keep a log of your dreams and observe the changes you are recording by looking at patterns in your days, your choices, and reactions, dreams, etc. Keeping a journal is like remaining gently conscious of what it is you want, need, and keeping Essence included in that. Some of you may benefit from simply speaking out loud to Essence, treating this part of you as an actual “invisible friend” who is humorous and caring. State to your Essence occasionally how you feel your life is going, asking for help, or giving gratitude when it is felt. This can be done as ritualistically as prayer or as playfully as making comments throughout your day. And finally, some may be inclined to use Meditation for continual contact with Essence. We say Meditation as it includes any practice of focus whether through calming of the body and turning inward, or through running, exercising, doing a puzzle, etc. In those instances of Meditation, however you choose to meditate, remember to invite your Essence to access your Instinctive Center where all experiences are stored. These three methods can keep Essence continually updated and your life continually synchronized, instead of having to go through startling revelations during the scheduled Instinctive Reviews. [Additional information: Michael explained later that the reason for writing, speaking, or meditation, rather than just random inner dialogue, is not only due to the fact that those three methods engage all of the Lower Centers, but that they also help refine what it is you wish to communicate, rather than all of the random worries, fears, anxiousness, etc.] [schleiv] how often are those reviews? [MichaelEntity] Val, the Reviews are approximately every 7 years, with the major reviews around the ages of 28 and a 56.

Traduction d’une causerie avec l’entité Michael à New York, le 26 janvier 2014 Source anglaise : https://our.truthloveenergy.com/topic/111-20140126-nyc-michael-speaks-wants-needs-of-essence-roles/?tab=comments#comment-208 Entité Michael (EM) : Bonjour à tous. Nous sommes maintenant ici. Nous avons compris que Troy nous demande de discuter de ce que nous pourrions décrire comme les DÉSIR et BESOIN de chaque Rôle de l’Essence. Nous avons abordé cela d’une façon qui nous l’espérons sera facile à valider pour chacun de vous et des Rôles. Cet angle d’approche des Rôles en termes de désirs et de besoins a déjà été abordé de différentes autres façons mais aujourd’hui nous allons en parler spécifiquement dans ces termes. Nous allons définir le DÉSIR d’un Rôle comme étant une forme de navigation plus consciemment accessible tout au long de votre vie. Indépendamment de votre But, de votre Pôle positif et du reste de vos Attributs, il sera toujours un facteur déterminant pour vous tout au long de votre vie. Plus particulièrement, plus vous serez en contact avec votre Essence, et en contact avec votre Rôle, plus il se manifestera. Il sera probablement présent indépendamment du degré de conscience que vous avez de votre Rôle, mais il sera peut-être d’autant moins évident que vous serez moins conscients de votre Rôle. Nous savons que votre Rôle-moulé sera probablement quelque chose que certains d’entre vous voudront considérer pendant que nous aborderons les Désirs et les Besoins, et il peut être pris en compte, mais nous suggérons que vous vous en teniez au Rôle de votre Essence pour déterminer le niveau de puissance et de pertinence des Désirs et des Besoins. Le Rôle-moulé aura toujours une certaine pertinence mais nous suggérons que vous utilisiez votre Rôle comme une façon d’explorer ces Désirs et Besoins pendant que nous les décrirons. Nous définirons les Besoins comme une forme plus subconsciente de navigation tout au long de votre vie. Ainsi, comme vous devenez plus conscients de ce que vous voulez dans la vie, il y aura toujours des Besoins qui seront le pendant dans votre navigation. Vous ne pouvez pas fonctionner au cours de votre vie, sur le plan de la navigation, seulement en désirant. Et, en matière de Besoins, vous ne pouvez pas non plus laisser cela seulement à votre navigation subconsciente. Éventuellement, l’individu dans sa globalité va reconnaître, jusqu’à un certain point, ses Désirs et ses Besoins. Quand nous décrivons les Besoins pertinents à votre Rôle, cela ne veut pas dire que vous devez les amener à un niveau conscient sur une base régulière. De simplement les connaître et de valider que c’est une forme subconsciente essentielle de navigation pour vous, peut grandement vous libérer dans vos expériences et votre navigation tout au long de votre vie. Vous n’avez pas à faire de travail supplémentaire pour que ces Besoins soient comblés. La différence entre les Besoins et les Désirs c’est que vous aurez tendance à chercher à combler activement les Désirs. Les Besoins seront comblés d’une façon ou d’une autre. Souvent, s’ils ne sont pas pris en charge et reconnus, les Besoins seront comblés d’une façon négative ou difficile. Donc quand vous évaluerez vos Besoins pendant que nous les décrirons, examinez votre vie et voyez si vous pouvez voir un patron dans votre histoire qui montre comment le Besoin a été comblé, d’une façon négative ou positive. La même chose vaudra pour les Désirs ainsi que pour la poursuite de ce que vous voulez. Parfois cette poursuite se fait d’une façon positive, et par cela nous voulons dire d’une façon qui est bénéfique à vous et toute autre personne impliquée; et parfois d’une façon négative, d’une façon qui vous désavantage ou qui vous comble si superficiellement que vous en voulez encore plus. Ceci nous amène au point que ces Désirs et Besoins sont une forme permanente de navigation. Il n’y a pas de « ligne d’arrivée » où ils seraient comblés. Ils seront comblés seulement jusqu’à un certain point et ensuite ils vont se transformer pour devoir être comblés à de nouveaux niveaux. Il n’y a pas de fin à votre poursuite, et pendant que nous décrirons les Désirs et les Besoins, et que vous examinerez votre vie et vos expériences par rapport à eux, vous pourrez voir comment dans le passé, ils ont été comblés de façons différentes de ce que vous pourriez vous attendre à ce qu’ils soient comblés maintenant. En passant, ceci est vrai pour tout dans notre système. C’est pourquoi il peut y avoir sept Buts partagés par des milliards de personnes et poursuivis d’une multitude de façons pratiquement illimitées à cause du facteur du choix et de votre individualité unique. Et ainsi en est-il des Désirs et des Besoins. Avant d’aborder les descriptions que nous pouvons offrir pour les Désirs et les Besoins des Rôles, nous allons vous demander si vous avez des questions à ce point-ci sur l’ensemble de la dynamique des Désirs et des Besoins en général. Commentaire : Je ne pense pas EM : Nous allons donc continuer. Nous allons commencer avec le SERVEUR et décrire les DÉSIRS d’un Serveur : Le facteur de motivation le plus conscient pour le Serveur est sa volonté d’être UTILE. Plus spécifiquement, d’être efficace. Le Server veut faire une différence. Pour ceux dont le Rôle-moulé est Serveur, cela peut se rapporter à vous, et en général, ces Désirs et Besoins sont pertinents pour tous. Mais quand il s’agit de votre Rôle, et si vous êtes exacts dans votre estimation, cela devrait résonner tout particulièrement pour vous, d’une façon profondément authentique. Pour les Serveurs qui écoutent ceci, cela devrait résonner comme tout à fait vrai que de vouloir faire une différence, être efficace et aider, est un facteur de motivation conscient dans votre vie. Ce que le Serveur a besoin, et qui motive subconsciemment sa navigation tout au long de sa vie, c’est d’ÊTRE AIDÉ, d’être touché, d’avoir quelqu’un d’autre qui fait une différence pour lui. Si vous connaissez un Serveur qui se sent inefficace, ne sent pas qu’il fait une différence, vous découvrirez souvent qu’il se débat pour combler le Besoin d’avoir quelqu’un d’autre qui le touche, l’aide, fait une différence pour lui. Souvent, il restera coincé jusqu’à ce qu’il permette que cela arrive ou jusqu’à ce qu’il navigue vers quelqu’un qui est suffisamment efficace dans sa propre vie. Être efficace et être touché ne sont pas des états en contradiction l’un avec l’autre et ne sont pas mutuellement exclusifs, et quand nous décrirons les autres Désirs et Besoins, cela s’appliquera à tous les Rôles. Mais si l’un est négligé plus que l’autre, il tendra à dominer votre navigation plus que l’autre. Nous allons maintenant parle des PRÊTRES : Ce que les Prêtres veulent et qu’ils sont le plus consciemment motivés sur le plan de la navigation est de GUIDER. Les Prêtres veulent Guider. Ils veulent diriger et orienter les autres dans une direction qu’ils considèrent comme étant la plus bénéfique pour un individu ou un groupe. Donc pour les Prêtres, ce que nous pourrions décrire en matière de Désirs, est le désir de GUIDER. Ce que le Prêtre a souvent besoin et par quoi il est motivé inconsciemment sur le plan de la navigation, est le DÉTACHEMENT, de prendre du recul. Le Prêtre a besoin de perdre l’investissement dans ce quoi il désire guider ou ce qu’il essaie de diriger. Quand les Prêtres comblent ce besoin de détachement, de prendre du recul, ils deviennent encore plus capable de guider. Pour ceux qui participent dans cette salle, sentez-vous libre d’intervenir quand nous abordons votre Rôle, que ce soit par rapport à la validation ou à des questions sur le Rôle. Les Prêtres dans la pièce : avez-vous des commentaires ou des questions? [Question] Est-ce que le détachement a quelque chose à voir avec les obligations personnelles ou l’attitude personnelle; cela veut-il dire que nous devons le prendre d’une façon moins personnelle? EM : Oui. Par détachement, c’est exactement comment nous pourrions phraser cela davantage : ne pas prendre les choses aussi personnellement; prendre du recul; se distancer; créer cette différenciation entre ce que vous guidez et vous en tant que guide. Parce que les Prêtres sont un Rôle inspirant, il est facile de confondre Projection et Réflexion. La façon dont nous faisons la différence entre ces 2 mots est que la Réflexion vous permet d’être empathique avec une autre personne ou un groupe. Elle vous permet d’avoir la vue d’ensemble et de vous voir dans cette vue d’ensemble. La Projection (ce qui est très facile à faire pour les Prêtres) est d’imposer une vision au groupe de sorte qu’il n’y plus d’implication de l’individu. Il s’agit plutôt de ce que le Prêtre pense être le meilleur. Donc, quand vous pouvez vous détacher, il est beaucoup plus facile d’accéder à l’état de réflexion où vous vous voyez réfléchis mais non projetés sur eux. Comprenez-vous la différence? Est-ce valide pour vous? [Commentaire] Oui EM : Nous sommes aussi ouverts aux questions que nous savons être disponibles dans le clavardoire si elles portent sur les Rôles. Maintenant nous allons parler des ARTISANS : Les Artisans sont consciemment motivés par le Désir pour l’ORDRE, la STRUCTURE. Il se peut que cela ne soit pas toujours évident pour plusieurs Artisans, mais ils s’efforcent toujours d’une façon ou d’une autre de mettre les choses en ordre, de garder les choses en ordre, de garder les choses droites. C’est surtout à cause des entrées multiples que possède un Artisan, de sorte qu’il devient essentiel pour l’Artisan de naviguer sa vie en gardant une forme quelconque d’ordre et de structure. Donc ils veulent ORDRE et STRUCTURE. Ce que les Artisans ont besoin et ce qui les motivent inconsciemment est la RECONNAISSANCE. Plus que n’importe quel Rôle – incluant les Sages, croyez-le ou non – les Artisans ont besoin de reconnaissance, ont besoin d’être reconnus, ont besoin d’être honorés d’une façon qui valide leur existence, et ce, encore plus que le Serveur. Nous pensons que c’est parce que les Artisans chevauchent sans cesse les forces créatrices qui sont malléables au-delà du tangible, si l’on peut dire, travaillant très soigneusement ou chaotiquement pour les amener dans une forme. Cette reconnaissance leur apporte de la rétroaction qui leur laisse savoir que ce qu’ils créent ou ce à quoi ils donnent forme est vu, est reçu. Y a-t-il des Artisans qui voudraient commenter ou valider ces Désirs et Besoins? [Question] Définitivement, je résonne avec ce que vous dites. Je me demande, au moins pour moi, s’il y a dans mon désir de créer de l’ordre, cette connexion émotionnelle inhérente … viser l’esthétique, viser la beauté. Est-il peut-être nécessaire, comme le Prêtre, quelquefois – afin de prendre la meilleure décision – de trouver un certain sens de détachement? Quand vous êtes si émotionnel, et que vous êtes personnellement engagés dans ce que vous essayez d’accomplir, vous perdez de l’objectivité, et donc vous avez besoin de vous en retirer. EM : Ce peut être le cas mais pas autant que pour le Prêtre, du moins dans le contexte de votre question. Dans le contexte de ce sujet et le contexte de votre question, nous dirions de vous tourner vers vos Besoins. Votre désir pour l’ordre a besoin d’être reconnu. Une fois qu’il est reconnu, une fois que la forme que vous avez fait émerger du chaos est reconnue, honorée et (vous n’aimez pas ce mot mais nous allons l’utiliser ici avec légèreté) respectée, il est beaucoup plus facile pour vous de laisser aller la nécessité de l’ordre. Il est beaucoup plus facile pour vous de faire de la place au chaos si vous sentez que la nécessité, le désir pour l’ordre, est reconnu. C’est seulement quand cela n’est pas reconnu, que cela devient plus comme une priorité, plus comme une défense et a plus d’importance pour vous. Comprenez-vous? [Commentaire] Oui EM: Nous voulons prendre le temps ici de dire que ces besoins peuvent aussi être comblés par vous-mêmes. Ils ne sont pas dépendants des autres personnes. C’est agréable quand d’autres sont capables de contribuer, mais vous n’êtes pas bloqué dans un méandre de votre vie attendant que quelqu’un vous reconnaisse. Vous pouvez vous apporter cette reconnaissance à vous-mêmes. Vous pouvez vous aussi reconnaître que vous avez apporté de l’ordre et que c’est magnifique, et que c’est assez pour le moment, puis faire de la place pour un peu de chaos. L’ordre pour un Artisan est l’équivalent de la Beauté, parce que la Beauté est à la base la reconnaissance de patrons dans le chaos, et dans le cas des Artisans, l’ordre est souvent la manipulation délibérée des patrons pour faire ressortir cette Beauté à partir du chaos. Comprenez-vous? [Commentaire] Oui EM : Donc pour répondre davantage à votre question sur le détachement et le recul : reconnaissez que l’ordre et la beauté que vous avez cherchés à apporter est actuellement là et non quelque chose que vous devez continuellement maintenir à tout prix. Cette reconnaissance est votre forme de « détachement ». Et si nous ne sommes pas clairs, sentez-vous libre de parler et de demander plus de clarté. [Commentaire] C’est clair EM : SAGES. Ceci peut sembler évident mais les désirs d’un Sage et sa forme de motivation consciente de navigation tout au long de la vie, est le désir de COMMUNIQUER. D’une façon plus élaborée, nous dirions « être vu » et « être entendu ». Nous préférons le terme « communiquer » parce qu’ultimement, ce n’est pas seulement être vu et entendu, c’est aussi entendre et voir. C’est de créer ce circuit de communication, cette expérience d’échange. Ainsi un Sage trouvera toujours, sous toutes ses autres motivations, et comme une fondation, ce désir de communiquer, d’être vu et entendu et de voir et d’entendre, d’avoir un véritable dialogue, un véritable échange. Ceci devrait être évident pour les Sages mais souvent ce qui motive inconsciemment les Sages, et ce qu’ils ont besoin, est l’AFFECTION. Plus que n’importe quel autre Rôle, les Sages sont les plus avides d’affection. Ils bénéficient le plus de la proximité physique, du toucher et des contacts. Cela ne veut pas dire qu’ils veulent que vous les caressiez sans invitation, mais qu’ils ont, et encore plus que les Artisans, de la difficulté à se sentir présent dans le monde. Ils peuvent sembler présents et ils peuvent sembler très conscients d’eux-mêmes mais c’est difficile pour eux de ne pas avoir une forme quelconque de contact physique, une proximité physique quelconque, pendant trop longtemps. Étreindre un Sage est beaucoup plus facile qu’étreindre un Roi. Quand le Sage reconnaît qu’il ou elle est motivée inconsciemment par ce besoin d’affection, cela peut l’aider à expliquer grandement pourquoi il gravite autour de certaines relations et certains scénarios. Même s’ils sont complètement hors de leur élément, mais que ce Besoin peut être comblé dans ce domaine, ou cette relation ou cet échange, alors ils vont graviter vers cela même lors de grandes conversations. Pour les Sages parmi nous : avez-vous des commentaires ou des rétroactions ? [Question] J’ai une question. Ainsi si peut-être vous sentez que vous n’avez pas ces choses, … attendez, laissez-moi organiser ma question. Ainsi il serait facile d’utiliser, par exemple, le sexe pour avoir de l’affection mais ce n’est pas vraiment une chose positive, et ce serait comme être dans le Pôle négatif, si vous le faites vraiment juste pour combler ce besoin? EM: Pas nécessairement. Votre jugement sur le sexe comme façon de combler l’affection, peut le rendre moins satisfaisant. Mais de reconnaître que vous pourriez graviter vers le sexe comme une façon de combler votre besoin d’affection va vous aider à faire des choix qui auront plus de significations pour vous sur le plan de combler l’affection. [Question] Je ne sens pas que c’est insatisfaisant. Je dis seulement que je me demande si ce n’était peut-être pas aussi positif ou qu’il y aurait une meilleure façon de l’obtenir. EM : Nous dirons que si cela tourne en quelque chose de compulsif qui ne peut pas être contrôlé et possiblement qui devient une forme de dépendance dommageable pour vous, alors oui, vous pourriez considérer que c’est une façon négative de combler ce besoin. Mais si cela apporte du plaisir, que ce n’est pas préjudiciable, alors c’est une façon valide de combler ce besoin. Nous voulons vous rappeler que nous avons dit que les nécessités d’un certain niveau de satisfaction vont changer avec vos progrès tout au long de votre vie et de l’évolution de votre poursuite de vos besoins et désirs. Ainsi, le sexe pourrait ne pas combler ce besoin d’affection à un certain point dans votre vie et vous pourriez avoir à soit vous en éloigner comme une source et chercher d’autres sources, ou devenir plus inclusif d’autres sources, comme littéralement vous tournez vers ceux qui sont proches de vous et étreindre plus et vous blottir plus. Nous ne parlons pas de l’affection comme seulement un toucher physique. Affection dans notre définition concerne la résonance, concerne – [Commentaire] L’intimité? EM : Nous ne dirions pas intimité dans ce cas. Nous dirons seulement résonance : vous aimez ceux avec qui vous êtes, vous aimez qui vous êtes quand vous êtes avec eux, ce qui est souvent différent de l’intimité dans ce cas. [Question] Le Type physique vénusien est aussi avide de toucher. Comment cela se distingue-t-il du besoin de toucher du Sage? EM : Ils ne sont peut-être pas différentiables. Il peut être difficile de différentier entre les deux. Cependant, le Type physique vénusien sera probablement plus enclin à l’évoquer naturellement qu’un Sage sans le Type physique vénusien. Un Sage sans ce Type physique pourrait être plus enclin à négliger ce Besoin. Nous dirions que si vous êtes un Sage avec le Type physique vénusien, vous aurez probablement plus de facilité pour combler ce besoin d’affection qu’un Sage avec un Type physique différent. Est-ce que cela répond à votre question? [Question] Est-ce que je peux intervenir? Parlant de Vénus … et en se référant à votre phrase « Étreindre un Sage est beaucoup plus facile qu’étreindre un Roi », qu’en est-il d’un Roi qui est du Type physique vénusien ? EM : Nous ne voulons pas trop compliquer ces combinaisons en allant à travers tous les Types physiques et les Rôles. Le Type physique vénusien tend à aller assez fortement dans cette direction, donc ce sera important pour le Roi, mais ce sera important d’une façon différente. Cela va apparaître d’une façon différente. Il y aura encore cette avidité pour de l’affection, ce désir pour de l’affection, mais ce ne sera pas nécessairement un besoin. Ce serait quelque chose qui serait plutôt abordée avec une approche contrôlante et stratégique ou maîtrisée. Comprenez-vous? [Question] Est-ce que l’avidité pour l’affection a un lien avec l’avidité d’appartenir, un sens d’appartenance? EM: Cela pourrait être une autre façon de parler ce que nous décrivions en termes d’être présent, oui. L’appartenance est un peu plus émotionnellement chargé que le terme « présence » dans ce cas par rapport à ce que nous essayons d’exprimer ici. Les Sages n’ont pas nécessairement besoin de sentir qu’ils ou elles appartiennent, mais souvent se sentent comme s’ils n’avaient pas une présence, qu’ils ne sont ni vus, ni entendus d’une façon qui les ancre. Nous ne pouvons pas penser à un mot plus approprié que « présence ». Appartenir pourrait être une partie de la dynamique de leur définition de présence, mais il y a un tout petit peu plus de charge émotive dans ce terme que ce que nous voulons exprimer avec le mot présence. Nous allons demander aux Sages si vous trouvez une différence entre être présent et appartenir, ou si vous sentez vous-mêmes la différence. [Commentaire] Oui. Je ne pense pas qu’il y a une grosse différence. Je pense que c’est très subtil parce que, sous certains aspects, je me sens comme si j’appartiens. Mais de rester présent quand je ne sens pas que j’appartiens est très différent, comme au travail ou quand je suis entouré de personnes familières par opposition avec ma famille proche. Il y a définitivement une différence alors. Je ne sens pas tellement l’appartenance mais je peux me sentir présent. [Commentaire] Je pense qu’il est plus facile d’être présent quand vous vous sentez à votre place dans un certain endroit. Si vous ne sentez pas que vous êtes à votre place dans une situation ou un endroit, alors je pense que personnellement, vous tendez à aller dans le futur ou le passé – à imaginer, vous savez? EM : Ce que vous avez soulevé pourrait être alors une extension de ce qui est requis pour qu’ils se sentent présents et ce pourrait être, dans certains cas, ce sens d’appartenance. La raison pour laquelle nous faisons la différence c’est parce que nous connaissons plusieurs Sages qui n’ont pas nécessairement besoin de sentir qu’ils appartiennent à un groupe pour se sentir présents. Mais il peut y avoir des circonstances où c’est un facteur déterminant. [Commentaire] Ouais, parce que je ne sens définitivement pas un sens d’appartenance avec les gens avec qui je travaille. Je veux dire que je m’en accommode mais je n’ai pas le sens d’appartenance d’aucune façon. Mais je fais définitivement très souvent un effort pour être présent. Pas 100% mais c’est plus demandant d’être présent là que d’être présent ici. [Question] Est-ce qu’être présent c’est un peu comme se mettre en valeur, dans le bon sens? [Commentaire] Non, c’est juste d’être complètement conscient dans ce moment, et présent dans mon corps. Et ne même pas me soucier si je suis en valeur, juste être présent. EM : En réponse à votre question, nous pourrions ajouter que la confiance peut être un facteur déterminant dans la façon dont un Sage peut se sentir présent. [Commentaire] Ouais, je n’en manque pas vraiment. [Question] J’ai une question en lien avec ce que Cyprus a dit concernant le sexe. Si un Sage ne vit pas l’acte sexuel comme de l’affection, va-t-il pouvoir combler ce besoin d’affection ? EM : Cela dépend de vous. Vous devriez trouver d’autres façons de le combler. Il y a une multitude de façons, dont certaines auxquelles nous n’avons probablement même pas pensé, et par lesquelles un Sage pourrait sentir que le besoin d’affection est comblé. Ce n’est d’aucune façon relié ou dépendant de relations sexuelles. Est-ce que cela a répondu à votre question? [Question] Hum, non. Je ne sais pas si je vous ai mal compris, mais je parle strictement de sexe, lorsque le sexe n’est pas un sexe affectueux, si c’est juste une expérience de friction physique, est-ce que le Sage voit son besoin d’affection comblé par l’acte? EM : Encore une fois, cela dépend de vous. [Comment] Il ne me semble pas que cela se pourrait. Je veux dire, que selon mon expérience, vous déterminez si le besoin est comblé ou non, ce n’est pas quelque chose d’externe. EM: C’est correct [Commentaire] Donc si vous n’êtes pas comblés par cela, alors ce ne sera pas satisfaisant. Je veux dire que peu importe ce que j’ai fait dans le passé, j’ai toujours aimé et cela a toujours été satisfaisant pour moi, donc je pense que j’en obtiens de l’affection. EM : Oui [Commentaire] Mais je pensais que les besoins dans cette conversation, dans cette terminologie, étaient une chose inconsciente. EM : C’est correct et nous pensons que votre réponse était dans votre propre question. Si vous décrivez cela comme insatisfaisant ou si ce n’est pas ressenti comme de l’affection ou vécu comme de l’affection, c’est probablement un endroit où vous cherchez mais ne trouvez pas. [Commentaire] D’accord cela a du sens. EM : Oui, c’est une prolongation de la masturbation si vous visez uniquement l’expérience de la friction. Cependant, la masturbation peut être une forme d’affection. Donc c’est uniquement votre vécu et votre sentiment de présence dans l’échange qui peut déterminer le niveau d’affection partagée. Y a-t-il d’autres questions ou clarifications sur la question qui a été posée? Maintenant nous allons parler des GUERRIERS: Les DÉSIRS du Guerrier, sa motivation et navigation conscientes peuvent être décrits … nous avons besoin d’un moment … nous examinions les différences dans les termes que nous pourrions présenter ici, et nous allons aller avec le mot ENGAGEMENT [NdT : commitment], bien que nous pourrions changer ce mot. Nous ne trouvons pas le mot exact que nous cherchons dans ce canal en ce moment. Cela pourrait aussi être « loyauté » mais c’est plus que ce que nous voulons dire. Donc nous irons avec « engagement » pour le moment. La motivation consciente, les désirs d’un Guerrier tendent vers l’ENGAGEMENT. Le Guerrier tend à un engagement complet : engagement envers une personne, engagement envers une cause, engagement envers des responsabilités. Ce désir ne se situe pas seulement sur le plan de leur navigation personnelle mais aussi par rapport à ce qui est attendu des autres : que l’engagement soit réciproque, un engagement mutuel. Si quelqu’un a un terme qui décrit l’engagement mutuel et qui nous aiderait à avancer plus succinctement, sentez-vous libre de parler. Nous allons le décrire ici comme un engagement mutuel. Ceci, en termes de Désir, est vital pour les Guerriers dans la navigation de leur vie. Ils iront dans des directions où ces engagements mutuels peuvent être comblés. Ce que le Guerrier a BESOIN et qu’il va inconsciemment tendre à naviguer vers, c’est l’HUMILITÉ. Les Guerriers plus que tout autre Rôle, tendent à tomber dans l'auto-questionnement concernant le niveau d’engagement qu’ils rencontrent dans leur navigation dans le monde. L’humilité est cette expérience qui les met dans une position pour évaluer plus précisément ce qu’étaient leurs attentes, ce qu’ils avaient anticipé, ce qu’ils avaient élaboré comme stratégies, ce qu’ils recherchaient. Donc, ce qu’ils veulent est l’ENGAGEMENT MUTUEL et ce qu’ils ont besoins est l’HUMILITÉ. Nous utilisons ce mot d’une façon spécifique parce que le Guerrier dont les attentes n’ont pas été remplies ou est en besoin d’ajustement peut souvent vivre cela comme le résultat d’un surdépassement ou d’un sous-dépassement en termes d’engagements mutuels. Quand ils se retrouvent dans cette position et que l’humilité est explorée et comblée, alors ils sont plus enclins à communiquer plus clairement ce qui était attendu, plus clairement ce qu’ils voulaient, et beaucoup plus clairement ce qu’ils voudraient apporter à cette relation d’engagement. Donc l’humilité les ramène dans une position de nécessité pour exprimer ou clarifier leur définition d’engagement mutuel. [Question] Est-ce que “support” pourrait être un mot qui pourrait être utilisé? EM: À la place de quoi? Engagement mutuel? [Commentaire] Engagement mutuel je pense. EM: Nous utiliserions encore “engagement mutuel”. [Commentaire] Coopération? EM: C’est un peu trop détaché. Il y a … [Question] Que dire de Soumission? Comment est-ce différent de l’engagement? EM : La Soumission, comme But, est la recherche de quelque chose pour quoi se dévouer, à prendre comme une cause valable vers laquelle se tourner. Donc, en ce qui a trait à l’engagement mutuel et la Soumission, il y a beaucoup plus une attente de réciprocité dans l’engagement mutuel que dans la Soumission. Est-ce que cela aide à clarifier? [Commentaire] Oui Ici encore si nous utilisons « dévotion » nous dirons « dévotion mutuelle » donc nous allons garder « engagement mutuel » pour le moment, bien que « mutuel » pourrait être associé à plusieurs termes différents, qui indiquent l’engagement, le support, la dévotion. La clé ici est la mutualité. Nous avons l’impression qu’il nous manque un mot, mais peut-être pas. Peut-être que c’est simplement que nous travaillons à partir du cerveau de Troy. Des questions ou commentaires sur les Guerriers? Ou de la part des Guerriers? [Question] Est-ce que le Guerrier a besoin d’éprouver l’humilité chez un autre ou est-ce l’humilité pour lui-même ou elle-même? EM : Ici aussi cela va dans les deux sens. Cela dépend. L’humilité peut être quelque chose de recherchée chez un autre ou de ressenti dans le soi … plus souvent qu’autrement, c’est en soi. Mais c’est aussi une forme de lien si un autre exprime ou montre au Guerrier une forme d’humilité. [Question] Pouvez-vous, svp, clarifier l’Humilité? EM: Dans ce cas-ci, nous utilisons ce terme pour décrire le besoin de s’approprier et de clarifier ses attentes et anticipations de sorte que l’humilité est ressentie quand ces besoins ne sont pas réalisés et que le bris de ce sens d’engagement mutuel entre en jeu. C’est souvent parce que les Guerriers ont oublié ou ne se sont pas appropriés, ou n’ont pas communiqué leurs attentes dans cet engagement mutuel. Alors ils basculent dans l’humilité. En d’autres mots, ils doivent en prendre la responsabilité. Ils apprennent à prendre la responsabilité de ces attentes, en termes d’engagement mutuel. [Commentaire] Ca ressemble à de l’humilité et du désappointement en même temps. EM : C’est une façon de le décrire, oui. [Question] A quel degré une EJ (essence jumelle) désincarnée peut-elle affecter le fragment incarné en termes de Désir et de Besoin? EM: Cela se peut. Nous dirions qu’ultimement vous allez vous tourner vers votre Rôle pour explorer ce sujet en laissant de côté vos relations avec les autres Rôles. Il peut y avoir des influences mais vous allez vouloir quand même regarder votre propre Rôle. Vous pouvez vous retrouver dans votre vie à naviguer sous l’influence de votre EJ mais ce ne sera pas votre navigation. Ce sera seulement une influence sur votre navigation. Donc retournez encore vers votre propre Rôle. Comme nous l’avons dit, tout ce que nous décrivons en termes de Désir et Besoin est probablement applicable à chacun de vous sous une certaine forme, mais quand il s’agit de votre Rôle, nous voulons trouver les mots qui vont résonner d’une façon profondément authentique pour ce Rôle. En d’autres mots, vous pourriez dire : « Je peux me retrouver dans tous les autres, mais, wow, cela a réellement du sens pour moi » Ensuite les ROIS : Les Rois sont consciemment motivés par le désir d’INDÉPENDANCE. Ils ont le sentiment qu’ils doivent l’avoir en propre, qu’ils doivent combler ce désir de différentes façons toutes associées au terme « indépendance ». Nous ajouterons que ce terme est souvent défini différemment parmi nos Rois, même parmi ceux de notre propre entité. Nous avons eu nos différences dans ce que nous considérions comme « indépendant », et c’est très souvent en fonction du contexte de la vie en cours. Mais les Rois vont tendre, comme une forme de navigation, à désirer combler leur sentiment d’indépendance, leur sentiment d’autosuffisance, leur sentiment d’être leur ressource primaire. Cela ne veut pas nécessairement dire qu’ils doivent le faire d’une façon isolée, mais ils le font souvent, se couper eux-mêmes des autres, comme une façon d’afficher ou d’exemplifier leur indépendance. Mais ce n’est pas nécessaire. C’est pourquoi leur BESOIN et ce qui les motive inconsciemment est l’INTIMITÉ. [Commentaire] Wow. Regardez cela. Une association avec les Sages! [Question] Je sens le désir d’indépendance et c’est quelque chose qui m’a rendu fou à cause de mon contexte étant jeune et à la charge de ma famille. Hum, ce facteur m’a même fait douter que j’aie terminé/quitté la troisième monade dans le Pôle positif. Mais vous avez dit qu’il n’était pas nécessaire que je me coupe moi-même? Parce qu’actuellement c’est ce que j’essaie de faire désespérément. EM: De vous couper comme une forme d’indépendance? [Commentaire] Oui. EM: Non, ce n’est pas cela… Comme nous l’avons dit, il y a différentes définitions de ce que signifie Indépendance. Mais, comme nous l’avons aussi dit, les Désirs et les Besoins changent avec le temps. Ainsi, le Roi réalise « Oh, je n’ai pas à me couper du reste du monde pour être indépendant. Oh, je n’ai pas besoin de couper toutes mes ressources pour être indépendant, mais plutôt, je peux utiliser mes ressources d’une façon qui m’est propre”. Elles deviennent un élément de votre indépendance. Elles deviennent une source de votre indépendance, un support pour votre indépendance. Elles ne contredisent votre indépendance d’aucune façon. Elles incluent votre indépendance. Et c’est pourquoi le rite de passage que vous décriviez – la 3e monade interne, qui concerne le processus de déclarer et posséder votre indépendance, votre autosuffisance, peut être réalisé pendant que vous êtes à charge, en autant que vous commenciez à prendre la responsabilité de comment vous utilisez ces ressources. C’est relié au sentiment de responsabilité de comment vous utilisez ces ressources. Le besoin qui va inconsciemment motiver le Roi dans la navigation de sa vie se traduit par INTIMITÉ. À l’instar des Chercheurs – pas plus et presqu’à égalité, ils ont beaucoup de difficultés à établir un sentiment d’intimité, permettre cette intimité, cette proximité à un autre, cette confiance en un autre. En termes de soi, cette intimité est aussi de vous permettre de vous connaître vous-même. Cette intimité n’est pas juste avec les autres comme nous l’avons dit, ces Besoins peuvent être comblés par vous-même. Souvent il y a un déni de soi dans le processus de la vie, et donc les Besoins vous ramènent continuellement à expérimenter, à vous forcer – non pas par des forces externes mais simplement dans les termes de votre navigation, à vous mettre dans des situations qui vous forcent à apprendre plus sur vous-même, vous connaître et vous accepter. C’est ce que nous entendons par intimité dans ce cas. Ce n’est pas seulement d’être proche d’un autre mais aussi d’être intérieurement aligné et proche de vous-même. Comprenez-vous? Est-ce que les Rois ici résonnent avec ces Désirs et Besoins? [Commentaire] Oui [Question] Est-il commun que les Rois aient de la difficulté à établir une intimité parce qu’ils veulent être indépendants et qu’ils voient ceci comme le reflet d’une dépendance à quelqu’un d’autre? EM: Oui. Ils peuvent les lancer l’un contre l’autre. « Avoir trop d’intimité veut dire que j’ai trop de dépendance ». Ironiquement, une des meilleures façons pour les Rois de devenir plus indépendants est de permettre la dépendance. Le Roi, pour ce qui a trait à sa manifestation de l’Essence, doit reconnaitre sa part comme incluse dans la dynamique de la vie et non comme séparée de la dynamique de la vie. Ils ne sont pas une île mais une composante de la communauté. Quand les Rois s’approprient que leur sens de l’indépendance et leur sens des ressources est aussi dépendant de leurs échanges avec les autres, de leur reconnaissance des ressources valides, leur reconnaissance et délégation appropriées autour d’eux – c’est la définition de la maîtrise. C’est là que la maîtrise vient aux Rois, quand ils sont capables de ne pas seulement le faire seul, mais d’avoir reconnu qui peut le faire avec eux. [Question] Y a-t-il un élément négatif à être un Roi quand vous pourriez être très résistant ou défensif aux rétroactions ou aux critiques constructives? Vous pensez « Je peux trouver par moi-même”, et, d’une façon négative qui est de l’auto-défaite, vous ne voulez pas accepter ce que les autres personnes ont à dire qui pourrait en fait vous aider? EM: Oh nous nous rappelons ces jours-là. Oui nous sommes aussi coupables de cela dans nos incarnations. Plusieurs d’entre nous sont morts pour ces raisons, essayant de « trouver par nous-mêmes » et ne permettant pas l’apport de d’autres sources. Nous avons dû apprendre à faire confiance – et ce serait un autre terme que nous pourrions utiliser à la place d’ « intimité », vous êtes motivés par ce besoin de faire confiance. Vous avez BESOIN d’avoir ce niveau de CONFIANCE comme une forme d’indépendance, parce que vous devez faire confiance à ceux autour de vous, à ceux qui vous fournissent et contribuent à votre vie d’une façon qui vous importe. Vous devez faire confiance à cela. Ainsi les Rois vont se retrouver souvent dans des positions où ils défient le concept de confiance, et défient le concept d’intimité/confiance, questionnant leur niveau de confiance et la confiance des autres. Cela peut devenir un problème dominant dans la vie. Est-ce que les Rois ici reconnaissent ceci? Pour être plus spécifique à votre question, nous ne dirions-pas que c’est nécessairement une chose négative que de dire « je veux le faire moi-même ». Cela devient une chose négative si cela vous fait du tort, ou si le refus du support ou de l’apport d’un autre ne vous permet pas de faire ce que vous voulez faire. Comprenez-vous? [Commentaire] Oui [Question] Nous avons parlé du Rôle versus le Rôle-moulé plus tôt et Troy a déjà dit que sur une base quotidienne nous faisons comme une projection ou démonstration de notre Rôle-moulé, et que le Rôle vraiment brille quand tout est comme aligné. Par rapport au Roi, ironiquement, est-ce que les Rois, peut-être, finissent par briller quand elles ou ils obtiennent des autres l’aide dont ils ont besoin ou font confiance aux autres pour ce qu’ils ont besoin de faire confiance, parce qu’ils ne peuvent pas prendre soin de ces choses par eux-mêmes. Et quand ils ont accordé leurs violons, si l’on peut dire, ceci permet à leur essence d’être manifestée et alors ils peuvent briller. Et parfois ils se nuisent parce qu’ils ne pensent pas qu’ils ont le droit de demander, et donc ils ne brillent pas. EM: Vous parlez des Rois? [Commentaire] Je parle des Rois. J’applique ce que nous avons parlé plus tôt à ce Rôle particulier des Rois. EM: Oui. Si nous avons bien entendu votre question, alors oui. Ce sentiment d’insularité et de manque d’indépendance peut souvent, comme nous avons dit, être précisément parce qu’ils ne dépendent pas et ne font pas confiance à ceux qui contribuent. Avons-nous entendu la question correctement? [Commentaire] Exactement. Quelques fois vous avez besoin de demander et obtenir de l’aide d’ailleurs pour avoir une position dans laquelle vous pourrez briller comme un Roi. EM: Oui. Plus souvent qu’autrement, les Rois se verront offrir cela et cela peut devenir irritant pour eux quand les gens essaient de contribuer alors qu’ils essaient de se faire une idée par eux-mêmes. Ils vont souvent entendre ces formes de contributions mais comme un « bruit ambiant » autour d’eux et ne pas saisir une forme importante d’apport qui aurait pu leur être bénéfique parce qu’ils auront rayé tout le monde à ce moment-là, et il peut être facile de manquer la ou les sources qui les auraient aidés à s’élever sur le plan de l’indépendance. [Question] Donc ce que vous deux avez essayé de décrire était le processus de délégation, n’est-ce pas? Reconnaitre que quelque fois d’autres seront capable sur certaines tâches de faire un meilleur travail que vous pourriez. EM: Oui. Il y a cela. Nous dirions que cette délégation est aussi combinée avec permettre. La délégation est plus une reconnaissance active ou une recherche d’autres personnes qui pourraient contribuer alors que permettre est cette réception de ceux qui ont à offrir. [Commentaire] Avoir confiance qu’ils vont le faire. EM: Oui. Avant que nous commencions à perdre le contact, nous allons passer au dernier Rôle celui de CHERCHEUR : Nous pourrions décrire ce qui motive les Chercheurs au niveau conscient en termes de DÉSIR, comme des PROJETS. Les Chercheurs veulent des projets. Ils veulent travailler sur quelque chose. Ils veulent étudier quelque chose. Ils veulent calculer quelque chose. Ils veulent fabriquer quelque chose. Ce que sera le projet dépend souvent de leur Rôle-moulé. Ça pourrait être d’aider quelqu’un ou bien un grand nombre d’autres choses mais ils veulent des projets. C’est ce qui souvent les motive. Sous-jacent à toute autre chose, il y a ce sens de création, participation ou contribution à un projet. Encore une fois, en parlant des Chercheurs, la définition de ce que sera le projet peut varier. Mais nous pensons que pour un Chercheur authentique, il serait difficile d’en trouver un qui n’a pas songé d’une façon ou d’une autre à « quel est mon prochain projet », « qui est mon prochain projet » ou « comment sera mon prochain projet ». Leurs BESOINS cependant – ici encore nous avons deux mots qui pourraient fonctionner – ce qui les motive inconsciemment et va trouver des façons d’être comblés, seraient REPOS ou CAPITULATION. Les Chercheurs ont besoin de Vrai Repos plus que la plupart des autres Rôles, ou ont besoin de reconnaître la valeur de la Capitulation plus que les autres Rôles. Le mot Capitulation est souvent confondu avec résignation, et nous clarifions ici que la capitulation est la reconnaissance consciente de forces qui ne sont pas particulièrement sous notre contrôle immédiat. Il y a un sentiment de permission pour ces choses qui vont survenir qu’importe votre contribution, participation ou capacité de les contrôler. Donc les Chercheurs doivent apprendre à capituler et ils en ont Besoin. Ils vont découvrir qu’ils naviguent dans des positions où ils doivent capituler devant des forces plus grandes qu’eux. C’est aussi comment le repos survient, parce que quand les Chercheurs capitulent, ils peuvent ressentir un sentiment de libération et redevenir vraiment plus centrés à nouveau, recentrés sur eux-mêmes, dans une position pour plus d’assimilation dans la vie, plutôt qu’être constamment distrait par la navigation. Avons-nous des Chercheurs qui aimeraient commenter, valider ou questionner? [Question] Ouais, on dirait que vous pointez des Chercheurs qui ont des problèmes de contrôle. La question pourrait être comment différentier entre quand laisser aller et permettre, et quand savoir que vous devez aller de l’avant. Et cela pourrait être une réflexion de mon Rôle-moulé de Serveur. J’ai des difficultés à différencier entre les deux, mais je reconnais le besoin de permettre aux choses de simplement prendre leur place. EM: Du point de vue du Chercheur – nous parlerons de l’aspect Serveur dans un moment – et pour ce qui est de savoir quand capituler et quand se reposer versus quand aller de l’avant, c’est lorsque vous savez que vous ne serez pas capable de tout contrôler. Cela peut exiger que vous alliez de l’avant peut-être une ou deux fois pour essayer, mais plus souvent qu’autrement, ce sera plutôt clair lorsque vous pourrez ou ne pourrez pas contrôler la situation. Quand vous reconnaissez « Je ne peux pas contrôler ceci », c’est là que vous vous retirez et vous reposez parce que ce n’est pas entre vos mains. Cela ne veut pas dire que vous n’avez pas à contribuer, ou participer d’aucunes façons. Ce que nous allons faire c’est d’utiliser un scénario simple que vous pourrez ensuite appliquer à des scénarios plus personnels. S’il va y avoir un orage, vous ne pouvez pas changer qu’il y aura un orage. Il va pleuvoir, il va y avoir du vent, et vous ne pouvez pas changer cela. Vous ne pouvez pas changer cela mais ce que vous pouvez faire c’est de décider comment naviguer cela, ce qui signifie que vous pourriez choisir soit de rester à l’intérieur – laisser l’orage survenir et rester à l’intérieur – ou de vous préparer avec votre imperméable, vos bottes de pluie et votre parapluie et d’aller dehors en sachant que serez probablement mouillés et que vous ne pourrez pas nécessairement contrôler à quel degré vous serez mouillés. Comprenez-vous? [Commentaire] Oui EM: C’est la même chose dans votre vie personnelle. Il peut y avoir un orage qui brasse ou l’arrivée d’un orage. De reconnaitre que vous ne pouvez pas changer l’orage mais que vous pouvez changer comment vous naviguez avec cet orage, fait une très grosse différence pour le Chercheur. Cela leur permet de retrouver leur sentiment de pouvoir, leur sentiment de capacité à donner un sens à la situation, parce que c’est une des choses qui distrait le plus les Chercheurs. Essayer de donner un sens aux choses peut les rendre fous si cela semble sans aucun sens ou qu’il y a un manque de capacité à assimiler le scénario. Ainsi de savoir où tracer la ligne entre ce que vous pouvez contrôler et quand c’est le temps de simplement naviguer ce que vous ne pouvez pas contrôler va vous aider à retrouver ce sentiment de repos, ce sentiment d’être centré. Comprenez-vous? [Commentaire] Oui [Question] Pour un Chercheur, vous avez mentionné plus tôt le Vrai Repos, est-ce personnel à chaque Chercheur; quel est leur Vrai Repos, qu’est-ce qui est en jeu ou est-ce vraiment, littéralement, un repos? EM: Nous lui avons donné un sens plus général. Votre Tâche de vie et les Piliers qui la supportent – dont l’un d’eux est le Vrai Repos, et tous les différents exemples qui peuvent combler le Vrai Repos vont entrer en jeu. Nous avons utilisé le terme ou la phrase, dans le même sens que cette catégorie est définie initialement. Le Vrai Repos signifie que vous vous sentez inspirés à nouveau, que vous avez vraiment refait le plein, que vous revenez motivés par, et enthousiastes de, l’expérience. [Question] Est-ce que ce que j’ai lu sur l’hygiène des Chercheurs comme prendre des bains et rire, feraient partie de la catégorie du repos? EM: Cela va très certainement aider le Chercheur, oui. C’est le cas dans les situations générales : vous pouvez aller prendre un bain, avoir des moments drôles et prendre du bon temps. Mais ce qui importe ici, dans le contexte du sujet d’aujourd’hui, c’est lorsque vous êtes dans une situation que vous ne pouvez pas contrôler ou que vous rencontrez des difficultés. Vous ne serez probablement pas capable de courir prendre un bain, ou de rire dans de telles circonstances, mais vous voudrez pouvoir recourir à vos capacités de discernement pour évaluer le niveau de contrôle que vous avez et ensuite comment vous allez naviguer à l’intérieur de cela. [Commentaire] Alors le détachement va entrer en jeu, pour ce qui est de prendre un recul et laisser les choses se produire. EM: C’est un mot que vous pourriez utiliser, oui. Nous dirions que le discernement serait plus spécifiquement applicable ici, parce que c’est ce qui arrive avec les Chercheurs. Le détachement va aider mais le discernement – être capable de définir et différentier entre ce que je peux contrôler et ce que je ne peux pas – est ce qui importe. Si cela demande du détachement, alors cela vous sera utile. Mais le point important est le discernement- et ensuite, bien sûr, intégrer cela en vous-même de sorte que lorsque le scénario revient, vous savez que « Je n’ai pas de contrôle sur cela. Je peux seulement naviguer cela et voici comment je choisis de naviguer ». Comment chacun se sent-il par rapport à ses Désirs et Besoins relativement à son Rôle? [Commentaire] Je pense que c’était très intéressant. [Commentaire] Ça du sens. [Commentaire] Ouais, ça du sens pour moi aussi. [Commentaire] Et c’est vraiment bien d’entendre les autres Rôles parce qu’évidemment nous connaissons des gens d’autres Rôles et nous saurons quoi leur apporter ou cela va nous aider à les comprendre mieux. [Commentaire] Ouais, et de clarifier si vous n’êtes pas sûr de ce qu’est leur Rôle. Maintenant je pense : “ oh, untel ou untel est Artisan”. Très utile. EM: C’est ce que nous allions dire ensuite. Comme une façon de conclure, nous allions suggérer que chacun de vous ne fasse pas juste garder à l’esprit ses propres Désirs et Besoins. Connaître le Rôle d’un autre peut vous aider à comprendre ce que cet individu peut avoir comme Désirs et Besoins, même s’il n’en est pas nécessairement conscient. Si vous reconnaissez des comportements chez quelqu’un qui illustrent ces Désirs et Besoins et que vous ne connaissez pas leur Rôle, cela peut vous aider à identifier leur Rôle. Donc ce n’est pas seulement de l’information pour vous aider dans votre navigation, mais aussi comment accepter la forme de navigation des autres et y contribuer si c’est ce que vous choisissez de faire. Pendant que nous décrivions ces Désirs et Besoins, est-ce que certains ont trouvé que cela ne s’appliquait pas à ce qu’ils étaient. [Commentaire] Le Rôle de Roi s’applique mais quand j’ai entendu le Besoin des Artisans de valider quand ils créent quelque chose, cela s’appliquait aussi à moi et m’a amené à me poser une question: “est-ce possible que ce soit là mon Rôle plutôt que celui de Roi ou bien est-ce quelque chose qui résonne aussi avec le Roi?” EM: Nous avons essayé d’être très spécifique ici, alors ce que nous suggérons c’est que vous jouiez avec l’information que nous avons partagé aujourd’hui et preniez le temps d’évaluer. Pendant ces activités de groupe il peut être difficile de tout évaluer et de tout mettre en contexte à une plus grande échelle. Jouez avec ces Désirs et Besoins qui résonnent avec vous et voyez lesquelles s’appliquent au plus de cas et de là allez avec ce que vous pensez qui est le plus valide. Nous ne ferons pas cette détermination pour vous ici parce que nous encourageons nos étudiants à faire ce travail de validation. Quand des questions, des différences ou des idées surgissent, cela peut être une indication qu’il y a eu une transmission inexacte. C’est important pour vous de vous approprier ce processus de validation. Et la façon de faire dans ce cas-ci est de regarder ce qui est le plus insidieux, le plus imbriqué dans votre vie, plutôt que ce qui semble le plus attirant. Si même cela est difficile à utiliser comme méthode d’évaluation à un niveau personnel, demandez à quelqu’un de votre entourage. Parfois ceux autour de vous qui vous sont parmi les plus proches, peuvent vous dire « Oh non. Tu es beaucoup plus ceci que cela ». Bon. Avec cela nous allons terminer pour aujourd’hui. C’est la première fois que nous passons par Troy de cette façon depuis longtemps, alors nous allons quitter avant de commencer à mélanger nos mots et perdre la connexion. Nous souhaitons une bonne journée à chacun de vous. [Tous] Merci EM: Au revoir.

ASK MICHAEL - OPEN FLOOR March 2, 2014 Channel - Troy Tolley [DianeHB] From Kurtis: Hi Michael, I'd like to ask for elaboration on the Realist Attitude, Reserve Mode and Perseverance Mode within the time allowed. Such as how the Negative and Positive Poles function, as there isn't much on any of those traits. If there isn't enough time for 3, that's fine too, then we can just elaborate on the Realist Attitude and Reserve Mode. MEntity: The Realist Attitude is the Exalted, Action Attitude. Attitudes describe a base philosophy through which life is interpreted. In this case, the Realist interprets life through the larger patterns of experiences that have proven to be trustworthy. These experiences tend to be tangible experiences. Anything outside of that collection of tangible patterns and experiences is not considered to be "realistic." This is not to say that the Realist is not open to new, tangible experiences that would build upon previous tangible experiences, but that if it is not already within that range, it is simply not trustworthy. In other words, if it is worth questioning, then it is not "realistic" to count on it. This can tend to leave the Realist with a very refined, but broad, net of what is considered trustworthy and "real." When the Realist is in the Positive Pole, OBJECTIVITY, it means that there is no investment in what is that range of tangible experiences. That Realist is open to all experiences, and if it moves into that range of trust, then so be it, but if not, then so be it. The Positive Realist simply sees WHAT IS. The Realist in the Negative Pole, SUBJECTIVE, starts to become invested in what is wished to be real, what is expected to be dependable, and what is longed for. Their interpretation of experience then shifts outside of its range of trust, and moves more into that state of investment. It is no longer about WHAT IS, but about WHAT IS NOT. And the effort to turn WHAT IS NOT, into WHAT IS. RESERVE MODE is the Ordinal, Inspiration Mode. Modes are how one RELATES, and the HOW of fulfilling the Goal. If Passion Mode is the approach to relationships and to fulfilling the Goal through the freeing of emotions, then Reserve Mode is the approach to relationships and to fulfilling the Goal through the refinement of emotions. Those in Reserve Mode are acutely aware of their feelings and the energy that flows behind those, but are quite selective about what is shared or released or put into use. If you think of emotional energy as a kind of fuel, then those in Reserve prefer to use their "fuel" only when it is necessary, efficient, or relevant. So those in the Positive Pole, RESTRAINT, will find strength in the building up of this energy for those uses where it is more necessary, efficient, or relevant. It is a kind of allocation process, and not one that is intent on ignoring or rejecting emotions. However, if Reserve falls into the Negative Pole, then this allocation process falls away from the strength of Restraint, and into INHIBITION. Inhibition is the same process, but with only the intention for protecting the emotions, or protecting one's "fuel." Considering the queue of questions, we will move on from here to the next question. [Larissa] Anxiety seems to be a growing struggle for many these days. I understand that anxiety relates to fears/focus on the future while depression is a focus on the past. For a person who has difficulty identifying that they are in fact competent and understanding ‘why’ they feel overwhelmed/anxious/fearful, what tools can we use for ourselves or to assist a person in uncovering contributors to anxiety and help to shift our/their anxiety from a negative and debilitating concern to one that can be more easily understood and navigated, and eventually leads to our/their “recovery” (for lack of a better word), neutrality, or and/or healing? Any additional insight you can share on the topic is welcome and appreciated. MEntity: First, we will say that Depression can also be about the future, but is a more resigned position from that of anxiety. Anxiety would like to regain control, while Depression may have resigned that there is no control. In both cases, an underlying issue is the same: one cannot find themselves in any position of beneficial influence in their internal stories, images, possibilities, etc. The conditions you describe could be more of a syndrome than a mood, so it is also important for us to note here that a response from us in broader terms may not be able to address the mix of issues that contribute to one's anxiety or depression. In general, the healing measures that can help would begin with a return to some semblence of control. Since both Anxiety and Depression are about helplessness, it can be beneficial to direct the attention toward some area in which that person can rekindle his or her sense of control. Often that redirection of attention can be in the most surprising of ways that then cascades a return to confidence across the spectrum. For example, arranging a bouquet of flowers in a vase. This may seem useless, but that focus on such beauty and how one can enhance it with some nurturing moves, can be quite healing. Or an effort to smile. This can seem useless, as well, but making the concerted effort to smile, and then holding that for 30 seconds, can help ignite the sense of levity and energy that would be useful for dealing with the anxiety or depression. So, as a general response, we can only suggest here that ANY return of participation in ANY action that brings a sense of contribution and control is useful here. We would suggest not dismissing even the silliest or most "useless" of efforts. These add up. Add 5 of these little events to the day of one who is depressed or anxious, and it can turn around that day. Other suggestions: petting of animals; playing with children; repairing something minor; singing the "abc song;" counting; making time to sit under a tree; etc [Tyrone] Ok: About the Mormon/Latter-Day Saint church: Would Michael say that the current portrayal of Joseph Smith's life is generally historically correct? As in mainly, what were the events surrounding the time when he reportedly was shown metal plates and translated the book of Mormon? (Was it something like higher plane beings, extraterrestrial contact, wishful dreaming, actual gold plates, Urim and Thummim, etc?) MEntity: There is very little that is accurate regarding the life of the fragment known as Joseph Smith, though much of that inaccuracy was perpetuated by the fragment, himself. This was an early Mature Priest, Artisan Cast, in Acceptance, Passion Mode, an Idealist, with double Arrogance. His zealousness compelled him to bring about his ideals at any cost, even if that meant lying. There was no channeling. The source was directly of the imagination of the fragment. With that being said, his intentions and ideals appear to have been "good," even if colored by the imprinting and paradigm at the time. The aim appears to have been toward some ideal of agape, but became mired in mythologies that ended up promoting this agape as an insularity, instead. [Philip] About the Zeta information. Is this to be taken seriously? Is this channeled material? MEntity: There are many variations on what might be phrased "zeta information." Are you asking of this, in general? And are you speaking of the off-planet species that this tends to refer to? [Philip] What I am seeing is about a Planet X and a pole shift on earth. Yes, off planet species MEntity: Your question is quite broad, so our response will be, as well: to take the information you are coming across seriously, or not, is up to you. We cannot make that choice for you. In terms of a group of off-planet species generally referred to as "zetas," this has gone wildly into the realm of symbolism, and not accuracy. Though there are species that are similar to the descriptions often offered, the use of "Zeta" to group them is about as accurate as describing Humans, chimpanzees, and apes as "American." The symbolism of these aliens have come to be the replacement for what were once considered demons. In other words, they are a modern construct of personified fears, in many instances (not all). The species referred to, in general, are not as sinister as are often depicted. In terms of "Planet X" and a "pole shift," there is some validity to the fact that there are "planets" in trajectories that could be worrisome for Earthlings. Though we are not certain as to when any of these may be of necessity for concern, we do not think it is any time soon. As for Pole Shifts, these occur all of the time. They are not unusual. The pole shifts often referred to as being on a scale of massive destruction or change has never happened. We know that it is possible, but highly unlikely. [Juni] How is it possible to tell the difference between (and validate) when one has had actual contact/conversation with others while sleeping versus it being "just a dream" and is there cording happening when it's the former? MEntity: If you dream about a person, you are most likely in some form of contact with that person. Even your sex dreams about a celebrity are "real," in that regard. The Astral Plane is not restricted to known or appropriate relationships, and this is why you might even have sexual dreams about a family member. In the Astral Plane, sexual exchanges are not exploitative or ugly. They are forms of nurturing, support, and resonance. This is often carried back into the waking state as disturbing or distracting, because of the rules of relationships in the Physical Plane, but one can simply let them be what they were, and not impose temporal concerns on them. The Physical Plane is not burdened by those Astral relationships/contact, beyond the memory of the person dreaming, and what he or she chooses to do with that. In most cases, it is quite specific to the need of the dreamer, and not the one dreamed about. We emphasized sexual exchanges here, but we speak of any exchanges. And, yes, Cording does get involved. In most cases, the Cord would have had to have been in place already. If you dream of communication with someone you know you know in the dream, but do not know in waking state, it is often the case that you simply do not have a current incarnation that can reference that fragment very easily to you. If you dream of an exchange with someone who is faceless, or is vague, it is often an exchange with some facet or extension of yourself. [ViP1] Hi Michael, I have a couple of questions about Essence attributes. First, do the frequency and focused/creative energy ratio of an Essence remain fixed across all of the Spark's grand cycles? Or are they chosen anew, from scratch, at the beginning of each grand cycle? Second, do the roles in Essence have frequencies of their own (separate from the frequency of the Essence itself?) I have read from another channeler's channeling of you, that the roles do have such frequencies, ranging from Warrior (lowest) to Priest (highest), and that the frequency of a Role implies how "solidly" a Personality of that Role would be in touch with and connected to the tangible world around them (the lower the frequency, the more connected). Is this valid? MEntity: In response to your first question: Yes, Frequency and Focused/Creative Energy is locked across all Grand Cycles within a universe. These are the very unique "signatures" that identify a fragment with or without a Role. Once that signature is claimed, that fragment is capable of being recognized and identified, even upon return to the most conclusive oneness that is Tao. The Roles, however, also carry their own frequency, but that is only in terms of inherent characteristics that are then overridden by any individual Essence. So there is validity to the fact of more solid Roles, and less solid Roles, and that solid or less solid effect is a generality in each lifetime. However, the more one Manifests Essence, the more one's own Frequency begins to override any solidity or liquidity. In earlier Grand Cycles, the Frequency of the Essences will tend to gravitate toward the range that is inherent in the Roles, but as one's number of Grand Cycles rise, the differences between the Frequency and the inherent range of the Role can be quite drastic. Those who are in False Personality will tend to be experienced and be navigating based on the default of the Role. Those who are in True Personality will tend to be experienced and be navigating based on the Frequency of Essence. Between lives, and in terms of Review, the default of the Role will tend to be the case in the earlier lifetimes, and then, eventually, the Essence's own Frequency is owned and used. The above is meant in the context of how one processes experiences. However one processes experiences, the Frequency will still be static. [brian] Hi Michael, could you describe what Narcissism is in relation to the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual bodies and how to reduce or eliminate its causes and effects, both internally and towards others? MEntity: Narcissism, in relation to the different bodies, would simply be a matter of contexts for where narcissism is upheld. It would not be much different in any of those contexts, though. Narcissism is often an extreme of either Arrogance or Self-deprecation, and is developed as a means of protecting what has come to be accepted as the most fragile thing in one's life: THE SELF. Those in extreme Self-deprecation or Arrogance where valid narcissism has developed will tend to have a very difficult time hearing, or listening, to anything that contradicts their conclusions; will have a very difficult time focusing on anything other than the preservation or serving of the self; will actively or passively refuse to accept that any social rules or contracts are applicable to them; will often hear any insights or suggestions for help to be merely criticisms and insults to them; will tend to default to the distraction of blame of anything other than the self for what goes awry in the life; and will tend to consider any instances of helplessness, anger, or depression to be the cause of someone else. Or something else. So the key for addressing this, even though it is an extreme, is the same for addressing any issues of self-esteem. It can be a long road to recovery, but the individual would have to come to terms with the fact of fragility in others, as a way to recognize the strengths within the self. This is because the one thing that locks those in Self-deprecation or Arrogance away from confidence is the idea that they are somehow less than what another person wishes them to be, or more than what another person can handle. To address someone in Narcissism, we would have to discuss with that person, specifically, the more detailed suggestions that could help that are relative to the causes of that person's fears. In general, though, the narcissist can start by allowing his or her fragility, and honoring that fragility in others. [brian] Is it possible for someone in Narcissism to actually care about others, even if they have difficulty expressing it appropriately? Or are they truly "in it for themselves?" MEntity: The irony here is that this can then become a source of empathy and strength that no longer requires defenses. Brian, that tends to depend on Soul Age. The younger souls tend toward this condition as a form of near-erotic love and admiration for the self as a way to compensate for that which feels makes him or her so different from others. Older souls will tend to go in the other direction, despising themselves, and desperately seeking to be rescued from the trap of those differences that define them, thus creating many inappropriate scenarios, or constant crossing of boundaries. This is not to say that the narcissist does not care, but that the caring is often conditional on how well it distracts the narcissist from his own disgust. So the older narcissist would want to begin to treat himself or herself with the same eagerness to care and nurture and love as he or she would any other person. [wyatt] Why are there identical pyramid structures erected in various ancient civilizations when historical records haven't indicated the civilizations have had contact with each other previously? As in Mayan mexico and indonesia/bali/Cambodia [MikeClev] (China...) MEntity: Wyatt, the ideas for the architecture was from off-planet species, and those were shared among those civilizations, even as those civilizations were disparate. That is the general answer we can offer. There are nuances, and variations, of course. [wyatt] will the off planet species strike again? MEntity: We would not describe it as "strike," but yes. Wyatt, our idea of "soon" may not be accurate to the Physical Plane, but we have yet to see a probability over the next 50 to 100 years that does not include contact with off-planet species on an open and wide scale. Good evening to each of you. Goodbye.

OMW - Jan 12, 2013 - Checking In With Essence Channel: Troy Tolley [CocteauBoy] Okay, so today's topic is CHECKING IN WITH ESSENCE. [CocteauBoy] I thought this would be a good subject to explore because we tend to think of a new year as a turning point where we review where we've been, and look ahead at where we'd like to go. [Maureen] Will it be interactive Troy? [CocteauBoy] It's not that Essence is something separate from us, but that we (as personality) are a PART of Essence, so there is some sense of identity that is monadic (two parts that intrinsically create the whole). [CocteauBoy] So "checking in with Essence" we can think of it as checking in with something beyond ourselves, or as checking in with ourselves in a different way than usual, or whatever works for you. CocteauBoy asks - FIRST QUESTIONS: What does it mean to you to "check in with Essence," and why did this title for the workshop interest you? What do you expect to gain from this workshop? [CocteauBoy] Answer as you like... [Janet_] You mean, like, right now? [Martha] I think I do it a lot, but I think I could do it better [CocteauBoy] Janet, yeah! [Janet_] Like Martha, I think I do this, but it is hit or miss. [CocteauBoy] I want to read where each of you are with the idea, and what you thought this workshop might produce for you, before going into trance. [Martha] it's hard to tell "me" from "Essence", would like more of a sense of a conversation [AnnH] Because I don't think I'm all that good at checking in with Essence and would like to be more aware of it. [Nadine_AP] I thought it would be a good idea to keep in check while working through my 4th IM [GeraldineB] I've read and reread most of the articles on a Conscious Connection to Essence; however, I still consider it a whole lot like "praying," i.e., it's not an interactive process, I don't get feedback. So, it's like talking to thin air. [AnnH] (Exactly, Martha) [CocteauBoy] Make sure you read the question. It's not an assessment. [AnnH] Also, because it would be fun. I think my Essence is fun when I get tiny glimpses. [Janet_] I'm hoping for suggestions on how to more reliably check in and know I'm in contact. [Maureen] I see it Essence and Personality like a continuing discourse -- listening and talking. So I guess checking in with Essence would be to stop for a minute and and see where we are at. -- as a "team". [GeraldineB] Well, I'm trying to explain that this would be my "goal" or interest -- a sense of genuine interaction. [Bobby] Frequently, I'll be involved in something and will just say "oh, LET'S see where this goes" as in Let Us, me and Essence [Nadine_AP] Same as Janet and Geraldine, I would be able to make a more conscious connection, too [Diane_HB] I suppose I check in with Essence quite often, but I'd like to hear what suggestions Michael has on the subject. [Nadine_AP] *would like to be able [Bobby] I like to think of it as a partnership but like Geraldine suggested, one of the partners is blind, deaf, and mute :-) [ClaireC] I'd like to be able to truly differentiate between what the CF's are saying versus Essence feedback. [GeraldineB] I think I do pick up a fair amount of contact information through intuition, but I don't know where I end and Essence begins [CocteauBoy] I'll bring in Michael for the rest of this workshop now. If you have more to write, you can keep sharing as I go into trance. Have a great session, you guys! * CocteauBoy is bringing in Michael now... * CocteauBoy is now known as MEntity [MEntity] *********** [MEntity] The concept of "Essence" or a soul is one that is quite complicated for most who are extant, even when one is fully embracing of the general concept. [MEntity] When one is Infant, the lines between Essence and Personality are so blurred that there is no differentiation. When one is Baby, the concept is so skewed that Personality becomes the main navigator. When one is Young, the rejection of Essence is so strong, it does not matter much. [MEntity] When one is Mature, the concept is revisited through experimentation and intensities that promote a return to the blurring of differentiation. [MEntity] When one is Old, there is an eventual state that has no blurring, no skewing, and no rejection. One simply IS. [MEntity] Everything outside of that is imprinting. [MEntity] For the Old Soul, the wholeness that is Essence and Personality is inherent. To sustain a differentiation takes effort, requires lies, and feels painful in both tangible and vague ways. [MEntity] For the Old Soul, the effort to sustain a differentiation between Essence and Personality is the equivalent of trying to imagine NOTHING. Personifying Essence as something seperate from you can be useful, beneficial, and insightful, but only temporarily. To presume a personification of Essence as separate from you is like trying to sustain a the concept of Nothingness. [MEntity] If you try to imagine nothing, you imagine SOMETHING. [MEntity] You imagine something as representative of nothing. [MEntity] That is because there is no state of nothingness in the known Planes and Universes. It can only be represented, symbolically conceptualized, and usually only in comparison to something. [MEntity] The concept of Essence is similar. It never was NOT "you." It was never separate. It can never be rejected. It was always "you." [MEntity] We speak often of Essence and Personality being "separate" for the sake of learning and teaching about the various dimensions of "you," but this is no different from helping you understand how your hand functions during rehabilitation, even as your hand was always connected and a part of the whole of your body. [MEntity] The more your hand can function effectively, the more it is a part of the whole of the body. The more your Personality functions effectively, the more it is aligned with the whole of Essence. [MEntity] However, just as you focus your attention on the rehabilitation of the hand through exercises, experiences, rest, stretching, etc., it is that very "you" that transcends the divide between hand and body, between Personality and Essence. [MEntity] Because Essence is a spectrum that ranges across all Planes, Times, and Bodies, the necessity for focus is vital for the continual reawakening process, or "rehabilitation" of parts, if you will. Every lifetime is a part of the body of Essence. [MEntity] In some lifetimes, that focus is intense and myopic. In other lifetimes that focus is expansive and multidimensional. [MEntity] Relatively speaking, the Old Soul, extant, exhausts the body trying sustain differentiation of Essence from Personality. This is from the vast ocean of imprinting available from the Physical Plane about the concept of Essence, or soul. It ranges from being outrageously omnipotent and perfectly knowing, to being parental and absolute in guidance, to being non-existent. [MEntity] One thing that rarely has the same appeal and embrace is the idea that Essence... is "just you." [MEntity] In all of your mistakes, fears, cravings, longings, excitement, desires, appetites, pride, aloneness, joy, intimacy, distance, beauty, plainness, extravagance, indulgance, restraint, sadness, happiness, failing, successes, etc. YOU are Essence. [MEntity] From the perspective of Essence, the experiences of the Physical Plane and body are never NOT new. It may have experienced sadness a million times, but this does not mean it transcends the experience of sadness. No matter how many times a hand may touch HOT, it will always be HOT. [MEntity] Consider that no matter how many times you touch HOT within a lifetime, it will always be HOT, and always a new HOT; t is still always HOT, and always NEW. For Essence, across a multitude of bodies, that experience is never old, and never not true, and never not meaningful. [MEntity] This is the same of your experiences beyond mere touch. [MEntity] The only difference in your experience is your focus. [MEntity] When you first touch HOT, it may seem the end of the world, but when you have touched it a thousand times, it is still HOT, but you know you will survive. You know it is temporary. You know it is a natural part of experience. You know it is informative. You know. [MEntity] Expand upon this and you have your phases of depression, your phases of joy, your phases of intimacy, your phases of aloneness, lifetimes of suffering, your lifetimes of bliss, and Essence grows to know that it can survive it all, learn from it, and always gain from the experience. Always. [MEntity] By the time you are an Old Soul, you know this, too. And it gets harder to not know this. [MEntity] Because, by now, you know: You Are Essence. [GeraldineB] Question: If we are Essence, then why would we need to check in? [MEntity] You can pretend, imagine, lie, presume, fantasize, romanticize, and fragment yourself as Essence, but you will still know. [MEntity] Geraldine, Troy described the topic for our discussion with you; we are prompted by that description. We do not hand these topics to Troy. He decides upon them from his own ideas and perceptions. [GeraldineB] [laughing] OK [MEntity] However, we will return to that description in a moment, as it is relevant. [GeraldineB] Nevermind the interruption :) [Martha] ha h aha [MEntity] However focused one may be within Personality, one is always Essence. Even "the worst" of peoples. This is because Essence is vastly inclusive and incapable of truly rejecting experiences that parts of itself (Personality) bring to it. [MEntity] To presume that one person is not of Essence over another is like a fish judging another fish for not being of the same body of water. To try to convince someone of Essence, then, instead of allowing for their own growth and awakening, is about as useful as a fish trying to get another fish wet. [MEntity] "Checking in" with Essence is a valid phrase to consider while within a lifetime and body because most forms of "checking in" only occur in death. Death is the ultimate "checking in." [AnnH] lol [GeraldineB] Good Ole 7th IM [MEntity] As you embrace the idea of your being Essence, you will find that the phrase of "checking in with Essence" means something even more profound that previously romanticized. It is a checking in with yourself. [MEntity] This may not be as romantic as the idea of checking in with some higher parental guidance and force that is laced with religious and cultural imprinting, but it is far more profound and empowering. It is the ultimate responsibility for your life, your choices, you. [MEntity] Before we continue: How do you feel or think about this ownership of Essence as YOU, with Personality merely being a focus, instead of as a concept of being a flailing fragment tethered to omnipotence? [Martha] "flailing fragment tethered to omnipotence" lol [Martha] I do feel comfortable with it [GeraldineB] Well, I accept that fragment is a part of Essence, is the spiritual body, but I don't quite understand how Essence can be ME and still not be tuned into whatever I'm doing [Nadine_AP] It feels right. [Martha] I feel like Essence IS tuned in, but I don't feel much of a sense of conversation, other than just talking to myself [GeraldineB] Well, it's the paradox of Personality having all choice, not Essence . . they design, we dispose. [Janet_] I am comfortable about the concept. [Diane_HB] I think this is a much more peaceful concept than thinking of myself or others as separate from Essence. [AnnH] What Martha said. [MEntity] Geraldine: what makes you think Essence is not tuned in to "whatever you are doing?" [GeraldineB] If they are tuned in, I wouldn't need to review or check-in [MEntity] Geraldine, this presumption would not be true. [MEntity] Even while in a body, stretches of time can pass where you were fully engaged in your day, but if we were to ask you about a specific day and what meal you had on that day, or what someone said to you that day, or what tv show was watched on a certain day and time, you may not be able to call up that memory to save your life, so to speak, even though "you were there." [MEntity] However, you may find that you remember entire experiences from even further back in time. [MEntity] This is the difference between "checking in" and not. [GeraldineB] Do you mean that checking in is actually a way of accessing forgotten memories? [MEntity] Your brain will continue to store all experiences, from the most minute to the most profound. Your Essence absorbs all experiences for the Akashic Records, like a brain for the soul, but what matters to it is "remembered," and this can be enhanced through "checking in." [Maureen] I never feel disconnected from Essence. When I feel separate is when I know "I" am making a conscious choice to disregard Essence for awhile. When I do that I feel like a kid who wants to experience something on her own -- without any "influence". [MEntity] Checking in can help recall, but we prefer the term to be thought of less as a tool, and more of as a state. [MEntity] By this we mean: [MEntity] When you feel disconnected from Essence, in need of guidance, support, etc, that you not dismiss YOU as the greatest force behind your own life, choices, feelings, memories, plans, etc. but that you "check in" with yourself, allow for all of the feelings and fears, but not at the expense of your power, force, presence, and wholeness. [MEntity] Wholeness allows for all of it, so fear and panic do not need to be rejected for wholeness to return. Ironically, in the embrace of your wholeness and power, the fear tends to dissipate, transform. [MEntity] Checking in with Essence is a return to you. A recollection of the fragmentation of your mind, your heart, and even your body. [GeraldineB] this makes sense to me [MEntity] It is a moment, a practice, and eventually a state, that makes room for all of it without forgetting. It is ownership of your KNOWING. [MEntity] Your fragmentation, your fear, is merely forgetfullness. [MEntity] You cannot UN-know, but you can forget. [MEntity] Checking in is a practice in remembering. [MEntity] Keep in mind: [MEntity] In the same way that you do not have to consciously breath, neither do you have to presume that your knowing, your embrace of self as Essence, means having conscious access to all that is Essence. The hand does not have to understand the eye for itself to work, and the eye does not have to control metabolism for it to work, and metabolism does not have to know how to walk for the body to move, and so on. [MEntity] However, no part can be said to function independently of the whole that is the body. [MEntity] And so it is for you, as a part of all that is Essence. The hand is itself and does its own thing that the eye cannot, and the body, as a whole, gains from functioning of the hand. The hand, then, for its best and highest functioning, would consider itself as the whole, even if not completely aware and monitoring of all of the parts. To presume itself cut off, or to not consider the whole, is akin to being numb, or amputated, which benefits neither the hand or the body. [MEntity] The more you own your part in the body of Essence, the more the whole and all of its parts functions and benefits. [MEntity] This ownership of remembering, responsibility, power, presence, and wholeness is more than half of the battle for getting the best out of your life, healing the past, and creating the future. [MEntity] Before we move on, we will open the floor to your comments and questions regarding what has been shared, so far. [MEntity] ****** [Diane_HB] This makes sense to me. I have been moving toward this perspective in some ways. [Diane_HB] And, I check in with myself fairly frequently. I don't feel "myself" if I don't. [Maureen] You are right Michael -- in that people are often looking for omnipotence or some woowoo with Essence when actually Essence can be quite quiet and will "come to you" when you are still or "in the moment". [MEntity] The search for Essence is much like the search for a lost pair of sunglasses that are later found to be on your head. [Diane_HB] lol [Maureen] LOL [Martha] :) [Diane_HB] I know what that's like. :) [Nadine_AP] lol [AnnH] heh [Maureen] I'm getting a 3D Deja Vu on the sunglasses -- maybe I dreamed about this last night. [Bobby] Is any fragmentation caused if you imagine the relationship as a partnership? [MEntity] Bobby, as you may have come to see over time, the concept of "fragmentation" is even more of an illusion (a useful one, but an illusion, still the same) than the concept that one is seperate from Essence. To personify Essence can be helpful, even if as a temporary illusion. Dreams are illusions, but the symbolism is incredibly useful. Illusions (and fragmentation) are not to be thought of as things to avoid, but tools for use as necessary. When they are considered conclusive, then they can become problematic. [MEntity] Fragmentation is merely scattered foci. [MEntity] Illusions are merely symbolic extensions. [MEntity] Both are useful and important. [MEntity] Neither can sustain continuity or existence for long, relatively speaking. [MEntity] We highly recommend personifying Essence, particularly so if one can do so while holding the contradictory notion that it is not separate. [MEntity] We can recommend this, because Essence already does this. In being you, in the first place. [GeraldineB] Sparky! [Bobby] :-) [MEntity] And it is the nature of Tao. Our fragmentation from Tao is a profoundly beautiful and useful illusion, and all of our bodies through the planes are always creative personifications of our most current idea of who we are. [MEntity] The differences in higher planes is that we have learned to enjoy it more, to allow it, and to know that all of it changes. [MEntity] Your body, no matter how battered, worn, sick, suffering, pleasured, fat, skinny, ugly, beautiful, is your own idea, given form. All descriptions of our body that are born of comparison are as superficial and temporary as a preference for chocolate over vanilla, or one brand over another. [MEntity] Those preferences are meaningful and provide their own part in the dance of experience, but they will never supercede the perfection of reflection. [MEntity] This is not to say that one must accept his or her lot in life with the body that one has, but that the dance that your body prompts is far more relevant than your preoccupation with it for comparison. [MEntity] It is not YOUR Body. It is YOU. [MEntity] It is not YOUR Essence. It is YOU. [MEntity] Checking in with Essence, then, is the embrace of yourself as part of the bridging of all of these parts. [MEntity] If you are in this particular workshop, you are probably "done" with the distraction of fragmentation and the weight of being bothered with superficial comparisons. You know this. You cannot un-know it. But remembering this, and returning yourself from forgetfullness, is something you must take on as your responsibility from here. [MEntity] This is where this teaching is intended to help move your consciousness. Not just toward the novelty and brief comforts of remembering, but toward your capacity to live in that remembering, in your knowing. In Essence. [Martha] Sounds like vividry [MEntity] Here are three things that you can note to yourself as phrases for sustaining your wholeness, and allowing for everything to exist within that: [MEntity] When you feel ugly, fearful, anxious, upset, angry, helpless, lonely, etc. we suggest that you embrace those things, but always along with the phrase, "It is okay for me to forget for a while." [MEntity] This conscious embrace of forgetfullness does two things: relieves you of the internal conflict of fighting against those natural reactions, feelings, and thoughts so that they can move through like thunder clouds in the sky of who you are, but also, ironically, keeps you from actually forgetting. [MEntity] On a daily basis, at various points in the day, when nothing in particular is happening, it can be helpful to state out loud, or internally: "I remember now: I like me." [MEntity] This simple phrase can do two things, as well: it can bring a moment of remembering and awareness, of course, but it can also be a confession against all of your imprinting and superficialities of being bad, wrong, ugly, too fat, too thin, too alone, not enough, etc. This confession is more truthful than any of those things. [MEntity] You may only barely like yourself, and you can always like yourself more and more as you aim for agape, but if you are breathing, you like yourself enough, to some small degree, and this outweighs all of the "bullshit." [MEntity] We pause now to ask each of you to answer this question as sincerely and as honestly as you feel inclined: DO YOU LIKE YOU? [Diane_HB] YES!! [Maureen] YES!! [Janet_] I do like me. [GeraldineB] Yes, I do! [AnnH] For the most part. [ClaireC] Yes. [AnnH] Actually, I get a big kick out of myself. [Bobby] I will say it's much easier when everything is not taken so seriously :-) [Nadine_AP] yes, i do [Martha] Yes! [MEntity] We only ask this question to help you in seeing if you prefer forgetting over remembering. You would not be in this workshop, studying our teaching, wishing for more people to accept you, trying to accept others, standing up against injustices, moved by suffering, aiming for higher visions, etc, if you did not like yourselves to some great extent. [MEntity] Everything beyond your liking yourself is a lie, is imprinting, is useless for anything more than information about how to make your next choices and decisions. [MEntity] The third suggestion of phrasing that we can offer, then, is that part of your remembering include that it is okay that others may also tend to forget. Just like you do. Even more so, that many have not even remembered, yet. They may not know, like you do. [MEntity] "The more often I remember, the more often others can know." [MEntity] This is because you are the trainer of your reality, which is just to say that you are the one who chooses how you experience EVERYTHING. There are no exceptions. You may not be able to choose everything that happens to you, but you will always have the choice in what that means for you, and how you experience it. [MEntity] The more often you forget, the more likely your world is experienced as forgetful. [MEntity] The more often you pretend to not like yourself, the more likely you would keep others from their opportunity to like you. [MEntity] The more often you presume that others must remember and know as you do, the more you are forgetting, and making excuses for your forgetting. [Maureen] Michael -- so Alex Jones and Larry Pratt have just forgotten who they are? How can we see them as "Essence"? [AnnH] hrh [AnnH] heh [Martha] hahaha [MEntity] Maureen: there must be a remembering and knowing before there can be a forgetting. [Maureen] so their forgetting is a choice to forget -- with Essence "on board" with Personality? [Maureen] just like it is for the "rest" of us? [MEntity] The inherent nature of fragmentation, personification, and the Physical Plane, in particular, is amnesia. Evolution is a process of remembering. Forgetfullness, in higher terms, is a defense against responsibility and ownership. [MEntity] Every lifetime is a practice in remembering. Every death is a practice in "checking in." [AnnH] I love that. [MEntity] Your notions that a "bad guy" is less Essence than that of a "good guy" is based on a romantic idea that Essence is already "good." It is not. It simply IS. It goes through its processes of growth just as an individual personality does. That is why we describe Soul Ages. [MEntity] Soul Age describes where one is in the capacity for remembering while in a body. [GeraldineB] And the circle is rejoined and completed [MEntity] It also describes where Essence is in its capacity to remember its path home. [GeraldineB] OH . . .please expand on that [MEntity] Or rather, that it never left home/Tao. [MEntity] Soul Age is a description of the process from fragmentation toward reunion. [MEntity] Keep in mind that horrific personalities and the choices they make are not much different to the body of an Essence than one's choice in diet while in a body. The soul is omnivorous. It can survive the most toxic of experiences. The personality is the feeder of Essence. [MEntity] Your choices, and interpretations of experience, feed Essence, feed you. In much the same way that your realizations of what you eat actually do matter to your body, so do the Personalities, eventually, with their ever-growing capacity for remembering, begin to choose more consciously as to what its diet of experience is. [MEntity] So it is fair and useful to "see" the Essence of even the most hurtful of people, because your remembering of their soul helps. Your condemnation is pointless. Remembering the Essence of any individual is not the same thing as conceding to their actions and impact. It simply gives you a broader footing for what choices you will make, yourself. [MEntity] All of what we shared today helps in your creation of your next moment. And as you can see from where you are in your life right now, those moments add up. They become your life. [Maureen] ...I can do that. Thanks for helping me remember more Micheal :) [Maureen] (my comment was related to seeing other people's Essences...) [MEntity] And your life is no different from your body. It is something that benefits from your compassion and embrace, not your comparisons for condemnations. Your experiences of your life are your own idea and feelings, given form (interpretation) across time, in memory, and in motivation. It is Good Work to see your Essence across all of this, to see you, in everything. [MEntity] Today, in this workshop, if you have been engaged, you have "checked in" with Essence. [MEntity] While we did not share the words in this exchange with you merely to elicited comforting feelings, we did share them with you so that you can remember that you CAN be comfortable in your skin, in your body, in your life, in Essence. When you just take a moment to remember. To check in. [MEntity] And you did not have to die, to do so. [Martha] whew [Diane_HB] Heheh [Nadine_AP2] hahaha [Nadine_AP2] yeah, good. [GeraldineB] Neither did Ann when she changed Soul Levels [AnnH] hahaha [AnnH] Not this time, anyway. [GeraldineB] Maybe that was the real purpose of doing it . . .to experience brith / death / brith while conscious [AnnH] yes, I think so [MEntity] We will conclude with one last consideration: [MEntity] Remembering others, even when they forget themselves, is healing, is helpful, is meaningful. It is not lost on them, even if you cannot see proof of that. [MEntity] This is why we "came back" to teach. [MEntity] Because we remembered you, too. [MEntity] Everyone will inherently, eventually, remember "everything," but it helps if there is someone who remembers what you forgot. [MEntity] Or what you do not even know, yet. [MEntity] Good day to each of you.

TruthLoveEnergy Great Gathering 2016 Michael Speaks Living AS Essence vs Living FOR Essence [transcript available below video, courtesy of Daniela] TLEGG 2016 Living AS Essence vs Living FOR Essence 2016-10-02 Channeled by Troy Tolley https://youtu.be/4sZJoOaLztk We are here now. Hello to each of you. As usual, give us a few moments to come through more consistently. We understand the topic to be that of Living FOR Essence vs Living AS Essence or, as we heard, however you would like to arrange that phrase. [Laughter] But what we will do is start off with a bit of conversation with you about Living WITHOUT Essence. Because you will always be Living FOR Essence and sometimes Living AS Essence. And most of you are done Living WITHOUT Essence. There is no such thing as truly Living WITHOUT Essence. That is an impossibility. But the Personality can forget to such a profound degree that it is almost as if there is no Essence and it’s difficult to remember that Essence exists in others around that individual. Living WITHOUT Essence is a rejection of any higher part of you, any greater trust in a pattern that may be orchestrated by other parts of you. Rejection of Essence is a way to live. Many do it. Many get by doing so. But when the Essence is rejected it can tend to be quite shallow, superficial, sensitive, defensive, reactionary and navigation is based almost entirely on stimulation. If this feels good I will do this. If it feels bad I will avoid this. So when Essence is rejected you tend to navigate based on those two factors in your life. Most of you are done with this. You will still go for that which is not easy, that does not bring pleasure, because you see a higher picture, a bigger picture, a greater context. So we would like to say that none of you here that we can see live WITHOUT Essence. There is not--, this concept is long in your past. We do not see a rejection of Essence among any of you. However, many of you live FOR Essence, and what we mean by this phrase is that you do the work that is necessary to be alive. You go to work. You search for resources. You feed yourselves. You endure your days. You endure your routines. You move through your years and exist as a physical being. This is Living FOR Essence. You are doing the work of being here, at all. This is a necessity for Personality to sustain its existence in any kind of consistent form. So to live FOR Essence is vital. And you do it. It is not an either/or scenario as Troy might have thought in presenting this idea for a topic. You do not live FOR Essence OR live AS Essence. You will always live FOR Essence because without you Essence cannot be here. Everything you do, and this is quite important for you to comprehend before we move to how you live AS Essence, everything you do is FOR Essence. Everything. All of the most mundane. All of the simple decisions. All of the pleasures. All of the endurance of your routines and getting through. And your illnesses. Your headaches. Your body aches. Your ageing. All of this is FOR Essence because you ARE Essence. You are an extension of Essence. And while it can seem as if you are separate from Essence because you are here doing the dirty work, you will eventually, and we know this from experience and we know this from watching over many of your incarnations, eventually see just how beautiful you have been as a representative of your Essence in your life. There is no one here who is not doing what we refer to as Good Work. Everything you have been doing feeds into what is most important or what can be taken from this life in some meaningful way FOR Essence. Even if you are still trying to figure it out. Or feel as if you’ve hit a wall. Or feel as if you are moving in circles. It does not matter. That is what it is like to live FOR Essence. It may seem boring or it may seem as if there is no purpose or point. But there is. And reminding yourself that you are at the very least a representative of your Essence in all that you are doing is somehow meaningful, even if it only means that it got you to the next day of existence as you, as a representative in another day in this amazingly unique dimension of reality. If you were not taught that there was something else so much more important or some vague purpose that you were trying to land, if you were not taught this in your culture and just woke up to your day as a being in this adventurous, wonderful dimension of sensuality, pain and pleasure, you may be able to wake up and celebrate that day a little bit more before it even gets started. So we encourage you as our students to occasionally wake up and own your day as your own and take a little bit of credit for the hard work you are doing to be here, to hold yourselves together in this form as a sensory unit, a sensory point in time for this vast part of you that exists as Essence. You are unique as a fragment of your Essence. And to wake up into your day owning this and knowing how beautiful this is can change your days and cumulatively help you to feel as if you are living a different kind of pattern than a circle. Now, one of the most profound questions that we know that we could ask of you in terms of giving you a sense of what it is like to live AS your Essence, and for a moment, each of you we invite to receive this question as profoundly as possible. Presuming that we are asking this of you as Essence, as a representative of Essence, with your Essence present in this room, through you as you: What if THIS is all there is? What if THIS is it? And by that we mean, the life that you have is exactly, deeply, profoundly who you are. You are not looking to be someone else, to find another part of you, to rise above who you are, to get out of your way. What if this is IT? Can you love this? If this is IT, can you love this? Can you be this? Can you let yourself be this? The reason we describe this as a profound question is because it helps you to gauge, when you feel the response to that question, how distant you are from Living AS Essence vs Living FOR Essence. You are doing all the hard work of being here, but sometimes you forget to bring in that dimension of Essence that LIKES being here, that owns being here, and is delighted that if it were to end tomorrow, it was worth it. Your presence here at this gathering is one of the ways you live AS Essence. You’ve done the hard work and this is part of the gift that you give yourself. This is one of the ways you give a gift to yourself AS Essence. Living FOR Essence means, as we said before, doing the work of being here. Coming to something such as this where you get to be with those who resonate with you, to sit with us as Teacher and Students. This is Essence. This is the gift of Essence. This is Living AS Essence. You cannot always do both at the same time, and often you will be Living FOR Essence more than Living AS Essence, if you were to determine it using that language. But giving yourself gifts such as this is one of the ways that you live AS Essence. However, it does not always have to cost so much. You can do this without spending any money, or spending any resource other than Choice. Walk outside and look at the colors around you. Look at the faces of others who exist inside this dimension with you. Look at the animals. Look at the plants. Take a walk. Anything that is in addition to the routines and obligations and endurance that you go through to be here FOR Essence. Anything you do in addition to that as a gift is one of the ways you continue to anchor Essence here and live AS Essence. Do you understand? [Response] Yes. If you want to get to a point where you can say if this is it, this is mine. And saying that as Essence. This question does not imply that there is no more or that there is not more to do. It is simply that if you can get to that point to ask that question and embrace that moment and be OK with it, you know you are closer and closer to existing not only as a representative of Essence but as a host for Essence, AS Essence. From here we will take any questions that you might have on this subject and see if we can respond in a way that is meaningful. [Question] If I can phrase my question clearly. I’m very interested in uploading of experience to Essence. If you could speak a little bit about how this process can be enhanced rather than waiting until a later phase when there may be an upload of experience to Essence. How can that be done on a more consistent basis? If you understand my question. Yes, we do. Rather than waiting for the cycles that come around when the uploading, so to speak, inherently occurs, all you have to do is make time for it. This can be done through meditation, through active invitation to connect to Essence, whatever that might mean to you at the moment, and can even be done simply before bed. Just taking a few moments to sit and think about your day and, as cliché as this may seem, if you were to sort each day in terms of gratitude and appreciation, this does more to keep the flow of uploading occurring on a regular basis than anything else you could likely do. It is not empty work to do this. It can change a life, in fact. To add to a day the time it takes for you to find SOMETHING, even if only one thing that you appreciate or have gratitude for. And this does not have to be in a way that is forced. Or simply listing to complete a list or to fulfill a routine. You must do this in a way that matters to you. If there is nothing you are grateful for that day, then so be it. It may be a shitty day. [Laughter] Those happen. [Laughter] So the work of uploading can be done through that simple time that you take to see what it is you are grateful for that day. You do not have to write a list. Just take a moment to think about it, and that creates the circuitry that keeps that flow of information going. Does this sound easy enough? [Response] Yes. It is surprising, now that we are on this side, how little we did this across our incarnations. And it is often surprising to you as well in your Review, how little you paid attention to what mattered in the life because you thought something else should matter more or could matter more or was supposed to matter more. The reason this works is because when you do Review, you do not only look through . . . simply to look over the life. You look for what mattered in the life. You look for what evolved you. You look for what can carry over to another life that matters. And while there is pain and suffering and struggle in a life, it is what you take from that, what you do with it that matters more than the actual experience of the pain. So when you take a moment to extract the gratitude from a day you are doing the same work you are doing in Review, the work of extracting the gratitude and appreciation and what mattered in that life. Next question. [pause] No pressure. We will relax with you. [Laughter] [Question] Can that gratitude and appreciation be for some, say, belief system that isn’t necessarily accurate? Would it include something like that? Rephrase your question. [Question] Well, say for like, someone who was religious or Christian and their appreciation or their standards for appreciation may be toward their God. Would that still apply? To some extent, yes. When it is a programmed function there is little being done. If it can expand beyond what is expected to be appreciated and the individual can identify with meaning that which is appreciated, that it is an actual thing and not an imaginary being, then the effect does matter, does have a way of bringing more of Essence into the life and more of an uploading process for the life. But if they are only showing appreciation for a vague presence that is defined by another as being a part of the life, then the effects are purely for the Personality’s amusement. [Question] This question is going to piggy back Bobby’s because I was kind of thinking the same thing. So, I am usually always appreciative. But actually saying Essence, but I include it all, you know, my guides, my higher self. So basically I answered my own question. So I am, I mean, I don’t have to say, “Thank you, Essence!” But I’m saying thank you to the whole, I guess, to all who watch over me. Would that be the same? Yes. However, we do encourage each of you to occasionally include thanking yourselves. Not just the invisible forces that you represent, that you are a part of that as well. [Question] OK, so I have a question. How can you, if you’re confronted, let’s just say the bulk of your day with others that cannot or do not show their Essence freely, how can you stay in yours? How can you keep your peace when no one else is? By minding your own business. [Laughter] By not hiding. We know there are some whose lives require strategy in terms of feeling safer and creating a sense of safety in manifesting themselves on the terms that they feel they are. And that is simply a part of the work of that lifetime then. However, whatever form it takes as YOU, one thing that can help is that, is to remember that it is not lost, it is not gone, it is not more of a challenge for you to hold that truth of who you are just because others cannot or will not or contradict that. It may be your beautiful gem of a secret that you carry around and only allow glimpses of. That is up to you. That is your choice. Or you can burst it forth and let them deal with it. That is up to you. It is your choice. But unhooking yourself from the others around you as a source of your identity is one of the first steps that you must take to be yourself or to be comfortable in yourself. When you do this, it has more of an effect and an invitation to others to do the same and it is far more helpful and loving than to hide who you are and allow others to remain locked in their illusions. We do not say it is easy though. [Question] Just before this session, we had a nice talk, Michael and I, my fellow Scholar, and we were talking about the neutrality inherent in our design. How we are processing what we observe around us. The ability to see the ugly and the beautiful and somehow just see it for what it is before you, how should I put it, start working with it. Before you internalize it and make it your own. And I’m thinking about . . . the gratitude and appreciation that we express and about what. What I’m heading toward is this. So I really like everyday stuff, somehow. It’s fascinating, you know. I can’t really see anything that is boring or unnecessary because everything is about how I choose to deal with it. And at the same time I’m really seriously allergic to, “Oh my God! . . . .” Well, it’s not! It’s really not, and at the same time when it is not I have the ability to finally get to the point where I can see the VALUE of it. I mean, not feel overly heavy about it, or joyful. It’s not that I regret it but you know sometimes I could be without this shit. At the same time I can see what it brought you. And I’m heading to my question now. So, I wonder if you can see if my Essence reads that as some kind of appreciation and gratitude of what is going on in my life. I do have ups and downs and I swear and curse a lot but at the same time, you know, that’s the journey. But, I don’t feel overly emotional about it. Do you understand what I mean? Yes. [Laughter] First, Scholars tend to inherently have a fascination with this dimension anyway. It is often fascinating. Not always, and not all designs of the personality for a Scholar will find it fascinating. Some find it appalling. [Laughter] But as you begin to live as Essence, you begin to find the extraordinary in the ordinary and no longer is the magic of this dimension some place outside of reach, but in simply running an errand. And communicating to one another across time and space. And hugging one another. And going to work. There is magic in these mundane moments. And the Scholar may have a leg up in the fascination with the mechanics of existence, the mechanics of a day, the workings of existing. But all Essences, all Personalities who are seeking to live AS Essence simply need shift perspective and take a moment and recognize the magic in the mundane, the extraordinary in the ordinary. And your term we will add to the gratitude and appreciation. Because sometimes it does not always feel good and the term VALUE is more appropriate for your list as you assess your day. You may not be particularly grateful. You may not have appreciated a certain experience in terms that feel that those terms are warranted. But you may be able to recognize the value, or to know and trust that you will find the value, you will create the value from that day. Did we respond with relevance to your meandering question? [Laughter] [Response] You did, Michael, thank you. [Question] I have a clarification on Pat’s question. Can you find value in terrible events? Of course. [Question] Do we have to? [Laughter] You do not always have to figure out the value of a terrible event while in it. Or while even in the life that had the terrible event. But there will always be value found in it. And sometimes you do not have the capacity or the strength to do that only as Personality. So to live AS Essence means that you will naturally recognize or create the value in any experience but sometimes, and we say this gently and lovingly, you simply cannot. It is something that will have to wait. And it is only a burden to think that it should be expected of you to grasp the value. If you can, it does work in your interest. It does benefit the life. It does increase your capacity for health and confidence and safety and security in your existence. But sometimes you simply cannot. And it would be irresponsible to expect that of you, of yourself. What happens when you give yourself permission to say, “That sucks and I do not understand why I experienced this or why it is happening,” is that you then start to make room for the time when you can make sense of it. Because you are no longer entangled with it in a way that locks you in a loop, but breaks that loop in a way that you can return to it when you can. When you can see more clearly. When you can stand more firmly. When you can hold more. So, yes value can be found in EVERY terrible event but sometimes it takes a little more than a day to figure that out. Did this answer your question? [Response] Yes. [Question] I’m going to piggyback on that and tie back to something that was discussed yesterday in the 7 Choices. Is it possible when we’re trying to rationalize or make sense of bad things that happen to us or devastating things that happen in the world, we were just saying maybe you can’t understand the value now but at least you’re creating that space? Is it possible right now with the Choices of TO SEE and the Choices of TO KNOW, maybe you can see ENOUGH at this moment but you really can’t see MORE? You can know ENOUGH. You know that it sucks, that it’s shitty or that people shouldn’t have died but you can’t see MORE. But you’re creating that space for yourself that eventually you will see and know MORE? Yes. It is the difference between pulling the blinds on the window or keeping them open so that you can still see when something goes by that will matter. If you pull the blinds, then you have no more options to see beyond what you have seen. Keeping the blinds open, so to speak, allows you to at least keep the window clear for when or if some clarity comes. Do you understand? [Response] Yes. Yes, sometimes you cannot see much from the window but it is better to keep the blinds open so that you can invite more information than it is to close it and refuse it. [Question] Since you have the ability to review as you are going during a lifetime, are there scenarios where you’re finished and there’s really not much left to review once you’re on the Astral plane? Like really be conscious of the Review of the entire lifetime before you die. Let us rephrase the question to see if we are understanding correctly. You are asking if you have done Review through the lifetime and you reach the Astral plane, what’s left? [Question] No. I’m saying, can you be so thorough and so aware during the lifetime and review as you go that once you do go to the Astral plane that you’ve already completed your Review? No. There will still be a Review. However, when you have spent a great deal of the life keeping that circuit alive so that the information from the life, the extraction of the experiences and meaning, value, gratitude, appreciation are there already sorted, then the experience on the other side in the Astral is one of rejoicing in higher proportion to reviewing. However, reviewing will always be a part of the process. [Question] It’s more like a highlight reel? Very much so. [Laughter] [Question] My point would be if you do the work more consciously and be aware of it and have my Personality participate in that. Your processes of Review have great variation in how they come about. And as you are older souls they often are hilarious because the Old soul has, regardless of the Personality struggles within the lifetime, the membrane difference between Personality and Essence is so fine, so thin that upon death it is often very quickly if not before death your humor shifts to its natural morbid state. [Laughter] And you look back over the life and see the hilarity in even the worst of your adventures. [Laughter] We dare say that some of you with the most struggles have the most in your audience for Reviews of your life. [Laughter] [Response] So it’s like a group event. So-and-so died and it’s going to be fun let’s go! That is not inaccurate. [Laughter] It is different for each fragment, of course. But many of you are old friends and quite often look forward to the mess that was a life and its beauty. Let us ask you, and you can answer this however you choose, all at once or individually, but as you sit here with us, how confident and comfortable do you feel you are in being not just the representative of your Essence but that you simply ARE now your Essence at this moment? This is IT. [Various responses.] That would make us cry if we had eyeballs. [Laughter] Your biology responds to truth through tears but since we do not have that capacity we will just say that it would if we could, but we still have a response that is moving to us. And to describe it in Causal terms may take another session. [Laughter] We invite you to remember what was discussed here and to carry that forward through your days here that are a gift to you and a gift from you. And we will speak to you again in your tomorrow. We will conclude here for today. Good evening to each of you. Good-bye.
