December 7, 2000 Troy Tolley, Channel Topic: Reality Shifts Full Transcript [Michael_Entity] We are here. One Moment. We have been asked to discuss the topic of Reality Shifts, or Parallels, or Nexus. These are interchangeable terms and we do not have a preference. The concept of Parallel Universes and Shifts is not complicated, yet its implications can appear boggling to the mind of one Personality. Parallels are the creative results of the Personality. The Essence does not direct or orchestrate these variations. They are entirely Personality-based in their creations. Although Essence generates the capability to have multiple realities, it does so at the direction and feedback from Personality. Since Essence has a “higher perspective,” it is always aware of all probabilities, but the Personality, using its own tools, is granted a true sense of freedom because of the possibilities of Parallels. “Parallels” can be defined as variations on a lifetime within the SAME SPACE, different DIMENSION or frequency, if you will. They are defined and differentiated only by the filter of the individual Personality vehicle. That is part of its inherent traits, to filter out what is “not” reality to itself. The body literally acts as a “radio” which is tuned into a very specific “band” in a wide spectrum of frequencies or dimensions. A lifetime can “spin off” as many or as little variations on that life as there were major choices, and each parallel can then “spin off” from itself as well. Each lifetime, then, can end with several variations on its timeline. This contributes a great deal to “past life” confusions and inaccurate historical data. Your first lifetime in a body is the only lifetime that has ONE single timeline and parallel. This quickly changes, of course. For purposes of simplicity, we will confine most of tonight’s study to a single lifetime and its parallels. A Reality Shift can consist of a MERGING or DIVERGING. In the process of a DIVERGENCE, you are creating variations on a lifetime to spin off. When you are experiencing a MERGING, you are fusing “back together” with another Parallel that has grown so similar to another that it is no longer necessary to remain “separate.” These two types are always happening when there is a Nexus, but usually there is a larger theme of one or the other at work. Currently, as most of you can guess, there is a DIVERGENCE happening. There are three levels to each Shift. There is an INDIVIDUAL Level, a COMMUNITY Level, and a GLOBAL Level. Each year brings at least one of each. Most fragments go through a major Individual shift around March to May. On a Community Level, this means your personal intimates and support groups, or social and family world will go through as a “whole,” spinning off variations or merging. This usually happens around June to August. Global Shifts occur around November to January and creates massive group spin offs as the collective consciousness makes choices together. The creation of a potential Shift is done through Decisions, as differentiated from CHOICES. Decisions are the “little things” in your everyday life. Deciding to go to work or not; deciding to bathe or not; deciding to take a risk or not; take a different route home; deciding on a trip or not; etc. Every single Decision contributes to the path to a Divergence or Merging, and more specifically, each Decision leads to a pivotal CHOICE. We differentiate Decisions from Choices in that a Decision is not life altering, but a Choice is. A simple Decision may appear to lead you into a vastly different world, but within that, you will make your CHOICE. Decisions then act as branches or vines within your life that will either diminish, branch off on “their own,” or intertwine back into another at the time of Choice. During the current Shift, it is a Global Divergence that is occurring, but within this is a massive Merging of Individual and Community Levels. A Merging is marked by things “disappearing” or “appearing” that seem then to be a natural part of the reality, but “was not there before” or “was there, and is gone”. This is most noticeable on the Individual Level and is usually dismissed as confusion. As Older Souls, it is your option to observe these phenomena or not, but it is Good Work to acknowledge them freely as this moves you into higher degrees of Essence Manifestation. The whole concept of “creating your reality” stems from the validity of creating Parallels using the Tools of Decisions and Choices. The more consciously you make these, the more your Reality shapes itself to your ideals. We will note here that a shift in a Parallel can change your “past,” as the “past” is as “created” as the “future.” When Parallels Merge, they then “fold in” the “different” pasts and your consciousness will then “make sense” of that as it can. Older Souls may find they have literally TWO memories or more of a personal event in the past. On a Community Level, the very same people having shared a very specific event will remember completely different scenarios, sometimes disturbingly distinctly different than each other. There is never “bleed through” from another Parallel, unless there is a “mutual” exchange and interest. “You” in your Parallel can observe other Parallels and draw from them to a degree, but you are never imposed on or affected by a “different you.” For instance, in a parallel where a family member may die, you do not cry “here” necessarily. However, for those of you who actively observe and work with Parallels consciously, a bleed through can begin to occur and this can be quite disorienting. We will pause now to take questions. You may begin your queue. [nemo999] In some here now Bush wins and some Gore, but really each win in some, correct? But how do we here choose which one to put most focus on? [Michael_Entity] “You” will be in the parallel “you” choose, no matter what. There is no confusion on that level. In the reality where Bush wins, you are there for reasons of interest that may or may not be conscious to you on an Individual Level. There is a “you” in some variations of each candidate’s winning. Though it will not be admitted by some, we see many Personalities are “bored.” This has created a great interest in the ‘Bush reality’ as it is wrought with dramatic change and conflict. Many Older Souls are interested in that reality since they will generally be unaffected. It is always a task of the Older Soul to see the world with eyes of acceptance and love, so choosing a more challenging reality can suit that task appropriately. [nemo999] Do we put more focus on one than another and can we do that? [Michael_Entity] In answer to your question, yes, the “you” that is “here” on some level has a vested interest in the probabilities within the Bush Parallel, so your “focus” is there. If you were to focus on changing the momentum from a ‘Bush Reality’ to a ‘Gore Reality’, you can, but it will not happen magically, it would happen “naturally.” An assassination, impeachment, death, etc., would occur. Of course, your options within that reality may become even more limited then, as Gore would not take office in this case, only a more interesting fill-in would step up. Understand, if you will, that when Global Shifts occur, they are based on the momentum of the previous year’s Collective Decisions and Choices. All the Decisions and Choices have been made, for the most part, and the Global Shift will reflect that path/past. Though it CAN change in an instant, it is more complicated to change a Global Consciousness. [Barb] Good evening, Michael. Do I have any parallels where I’m a writer and if so, can you describe how I might access those parallels to bring that reality into this one? [Michael_Entity] If a Personality can imagine it, there is a reality for it. This may need to be created or it may have already been created. In your case, you have only a few that followed that path. If you still have a longing for a creation of a certain Reality, it usually means it has not been created to a level of satisfaction yet in any Parallel. In your case, then, it would simply be a matter of making your daily Decisions reflect your wishes. [Barb] I don’t long to create a parallel – I long to have it created in this reality. Am I understanding this as you meant it? [Michael_Entity] “This” reality will be its own Parallel at any given moment, so that is what we meant. To access another reality, you simply use your imagination. Imagination is more often than not distrusted as “making it up,” but there is no way around that. You are conditioned to think the Imagination is simply a creative visual, but when used specifically for some purposes, it is a viewing device. If you want to draw from another Parallel, imagine what that reality must be like and observe yourself in that context. “Watch” yourself as you live. Observe the smaller things, such as clothing, hairstyle, habits, and interests. From there, choose one or two of those simple things to mimic in “this” reality. If you find you always put your keys in a specific place in your home in the “other” parallel, begin doing that “here.” That one shift can begin to draw a line between the realities that will alter your Personality to a similar place in mind as the Personality where you are doing/having what you seek. You are not literally drawing from that Parallel, but only creating similarities that are on the similar level of Decisions in the other reality and this can then begin to move you into a similar place. We have seen surprisingly drastic impacts from this method. Your daily, minute habits shape “who” you are in more ways than is generally noticed. [Dewliet] If a personality on one parallel predeceases those on other parallels, does that personality proceed to the astral, or must it wait for the others to “catch up?” Is there the possibility for communication between the deceased and living personalities? [Michael_Entity] If a Personality deceases in its Parallel, it stays contained in its Parallel and will join its Entity in that Parallel. Parallels exist up to and through the Causal. There is possibility for communication, yes, we have seen this. It is not common, but it occurs. [Cathy] Regarding the timing of the shifts… Individual happening March-May, Community/family July/Aug and Global happening Nov/Jan. Why those times, or that time frame? [Michael_Entity] This has not always been the case, but with the advent of the Gregorian Calendar, these time frames are generally-accepted “seasonal” changes on the earth in all locations. This relates, as well, to the passage of exploration through the “year’s” Overleaves. When exploring the Goal, the Individual occurs. When exploring the Mode, the Community Shifts. When exploring the Attitudes and CFs, the World shifts. [Barry] Can our parallel selves have a different set of overleaves than we in this reality? [Michael_Entity] No. There may be variations on how they are used, and the variables may change, as in Centering and CF, but otherwise, no. We are speaking of the Parallels created from within one lifetime. Parallels started independently from their own timelines may be different Soul Ages, Overleaves, etc., altogether. They are far less accessible though. For instance, in 1980-1983 we believe, after a global nuclear devastation, many of “you” in those parallels who chose to be part of that will not progress in Soul Age for many thousands of years. That is due to the need to allow those directly involved in the devastation to rehabilitate the planet enough for bodies to be viable again. [MaryBV] Are there certain places that are more prone to reality shifts then others? For instance, we had a house in Indiana where odd things happened: a step down separating a large bedroom was there when we moved in then disappeared shortly after, and other things along these lines happened. Was it the house or were the 60′s more active with shifts? [Michael_Entity] This type of phenomena is only a temporal anomaly, not a geographical anomaly. Individual and Community Shifts were at a very high level within that decade. These then lead to Global Shifts of varying degrees. The “60′s” had the most impact Globally, followed by the “80′s”, in your time. The 00′s will be another such time. [KellyGirl] I am noticing great emotional disorientation as a reality I split off from in April/May is returning. How can I begin making decisions that result in the best possible current parallel, and how can I begin to ascertain what that will look like?? [Michael_Entity] It is not “returning,” it never “left” in this case. This is an example of the impact of simple, every day Decisions. That Reality might have “left” if your Decisions continued to support that path, but your Decisions are what are “returning” to a similar path. We believe your greatest tool in this situation, in determining whether the event is what you want to experience, is to practice ACTIVE Decision-making, instead of Passive Adaptation. From where you are currently, you can use your imagination to choose three paths ahead to ascertain. Use your imagination to determine at least 3 possibilities based on what you know at this point. By “looking ahead,” trust that you are literally seeing what lies ahead as probabilities. It is not a coincidence that you can imagine the future, it is your strength. “Follow” each variation long enough in the visualization to “see” where it leads you. That is the key in this, to allow the visuals to “come to you.” It may take a few moments, but they will come. Let them lead you. Make note of any thoughts as a result of observing the probabilities and at least once in the visual, get a good look at your face. “See” if you are happy. Whichever Parallel appears and feels the most fulfilling, then be concerned with only one thing: Your next step. To follow through with what you deem your next step may go against “you” in the moment, but remember that “you” dialogued with a future version of “you” and it is up to you to get you there, if you choose. This should be something enough for you to consider, although we could expand on this indefinitely. [Clavis] Hello Michael. Is it possible to physically enter a parallel universe? To disappear from this parallel and enter another parallel, even meet our parallel selves physically? [Michael_Entity] No. It is possible to do this within the same timeline (Future meets Past and vice versa), but we have not seen this occur inter-dimensionally. Some of your futures contain the ability to physically VIEW Parallels, but beyond that are obvious limitations. [MoonSinger] If I make a major choice in November, wouldn’t my individual shift occur at that time, or does it wait until March-May? I thought individual shifts could happen at any time. [Michael_Entity] When we spoke of the general time frames, we spoke of this in terms of larger quantities occurring simultaneously. In the same way that many choose to do their “spring cleaning” at that time, so do many choose to do their Individual Shifts. Otherwise, you are correct. Individual Shifts occur continually with no schedule. We remind you that that Older Souls are far less frightened of creating variations on the life, but the majority is. For many, it “feels safer” to make a major shift when, at least on an Essence Level, there is an indication that others are, too. [Leela2] Forgive me if this is a bit off the subject, but could the 1980 nuclear devastation parallel be elaborated on? For some reason that hit me hard. [Michael_Entity] Many fragments had been curious about the impact of Nuclear Devastation for quite some time. The excitement of that was irresistible to many, even on an Essence Level. Without intervention, what might be termed “trigger-happy baby souls,” did “push the button.” This was accidental, of course, as a threat from the Middle East threw many in the USA into a panic. Russia and the US created most of the devastation. Those who survived (and many did survive, surprisingly) shipped themselves to various islands around South America and Africa. Electronic communication between a few islands has only recently been accomplished. We could elaborate indefinitely on this as well, but we will continue with anyone left in the queue for purposes of “time.” [Barry] I guess we learn from our choices and experiences from both past lives and from parallel lives. I take it that the lessons from one are not any more valid or important than from the other? [Michael_Entity] You are correct. All “lessons” are subjective. There is only the individual who determines its validity. Essence sees nothing as valueless. We will conclude here. Good night.

I went through the Energy Reports to look at Nexuses since Dec 21 2012, when we officially moved into the Mature Soul Age. I summarized each one in my own words, but you can just go to each Energy Report post in the transcripts and see what was written if you'd like. I hope this sparks some understanding of the world in the last few years. It's very interesting to see how each Nexus builds up into the next. Try not to think of them as separate points in time, but as a stream of energy forming or dissipating into the next- as it's a lot more entertaining to see the patterns holistically. 2012: Dec 21= DIVERGENCE and CONVERGENCE: Realities branch and merge because of various beliefs and theories about shifts, destruction, ascension etc. that emphasize our Anxious Uncertainty and whether this will be met with Reaction or Response. 2013 (Studying the themes below, my guess is this is The Year of Collective Confidence): Jan 5-8= DIVERGENCE: Realities branch that either emphasize and amplify Collective Stubbornness especially in Politics & International Events- or free themselves from it to move on. Feb 11-15= DIVERGENCE: Realities branch that either resign to -Inertia, or actively contribute to collective redirection. Around this period, it’s especially inspiring and motivating to create structures that increase our capacity for peace, calm, abundance and +Freedom. Mar 15= DIVERGENCE: Same as the February Divergence, but with more resistance to being responsible for the flow of our life. - Jun 14-16= MAJOR CONVERGENCE: Parallels merge due to a rise of consciousness among all of them that are aiming to represent one’s Personality more confidently in the world. This Nexus recalls several branches from our past that resigned from their Power and hid themselves from scrutiny, rejection, failure etc.- but have now accepted their Empowerment, bringing a mix of grief, anguish, struggle, insight, motivation and excitement. - Aug 2-5= DIVERGENCE: Versions of us “peel away” from this reality to focus on their collapsing, ignored, rejected or eclipsed Ideals. Aug 28-31= DIVERGENCE: A spontaneous branching for the Collective to focus on various ideals and responsibilities still unresolved in Politics. On the Personal Level, this brings apocalyptic, disastrous or disturbing imagery through dreams as we are “weeding out” the worst-case scenarios for how these world issues could be tackled. - Oct 7-21= DIVERGENCE: Parallels branch off to focus on strikingly different versions of our future Global Economy. This then pivots us all toward or away from a Resource-based Economy. Nov 9-11= CONVERGENCE: A Reunion of Parallels where we or significant others passed away. This brings dreams in that recall vague, strange variations of our life/experiences that came from other parallels where we or our loved ones, animal companions or people from our past actually died. Dec 1-3= MINI CONVERGENCE: A Nexus that finalizes any parallel versions of us/others that died over the past few months. Dec 15-19= DIVERGENCE: A branching into 2014’s Intellectual Priest in Growth energy, or not. If there’s a rapid amplification into a strong whirlwind of activities+effort emphasizing renewed enthusiasm for your intentions, projects and tasks for 2014 then this would’ve occurred. Otherwise, these last 2 Weeks of 2013 would be more calming and recuperative before the coming January Nexus. 2014 (Studying the themes below, my guess is this is The Year of Collective Healing): Jan 6-8= DIVERGENCE: Parallels split that will most strongly or weakly emphasize the core themes of 2014- bringing more focus and footing to our intentions. Feb 12-15= CONVERGENCE: Parallels “here” that are working on growing closer to tentative relationships & dropping barriers/inhibitions in the process, merge with those realities that have already done so. Mar 29-31= CONVERGENCE: Parallels merge that wish to bring focus back to projects, plans, future anticipations and coordination through Cooperation and Community. - Apr 5-9= CONVERGENCE: Parallels merge that branched off as far back as Childhood. This may cause dreams to come up bringing back nostalgic symbols/memories from our childhood and any past lives resonating with that. May 17-19: CONVERGENCE: A subtle or obvious haunting, distracting sense that how we’re doing things may need to change- merging us into parallels where we are already doing things that matter more to us. Jun 3-8= DIVERGENCE: Those involved in this nexus branch off parts of themselves not willing to participate in/contribute to the changes needed to create new paths for their life. This brings a sharp halt to those that see their ideas for change would simply not work, so they then clean out their mind/heart of these attachments. - Aug 25-30= MAJOR CONVERGENCE: Parallels that have similar realizations about global or environmental conflicts now merge. On a smaller scale, versions of us that are exploring internal conflicts & indecisiveness about commitments/directions now shift to either a conscious choice toward personal/global fulfillment or a needed breakdown & rebuilding. *A branch of realities from the 1700s CE where the US wasn’t founded & wide-scale religious, political and military oppression ensued across the globe for the last 200 years, now merge with ours- as they have gone through uprisings since the 80s against this to establish a constitution that is now birthing the US in 2014 “there”. This will either lead the US out of its seat of power for the next 20-50 years, or escalate it into a heightened position beyond all comprehension. (This info is not from the Energy Report, but from this Private Session by Maureen.) - Oct 28-31= DIVERGENCE: Permanently-wounded aspects of us that refuse to allow healing branch off, freeing those that are willing to heal to feel relief. Nov 26= CONVERGENCE: Versions of us that are willing to heal now merge, bringing gratitude, appreciation and comfort that can bring more relief, confidence and trust again. Dec 11-13= CONVERGENCE: More parallels and people that have brought wounding to the surface come together to heal anything from across 2014. Waves of creative solutions and resources now emerge to facilitate this personal and social healing. 2015 (Studying the themes below, my guess is this is The Year of Collective Peace): Feb 25-28= DIVERGENCE: Realities branch based on choices toward -Subservience or +Devotion. This focuses us on healing parts of our life left in broken circuits, or brings out realizations of anything missing that could replenish our Submission. Mar 20-23= CONVERGENCE: A Reunion of parallels from 1999 over the Fear of Technology. They explored moving away from technology, then cleared up these fears & returned trust in it. This Nexus then explores how technological impact is accelerating & the need to either take breaks from it to return balance, or transform isolating technologies into more meaningful and intimate ones. - Apr 18-20= CONVERGENCE: A Reunion of parallels from 2002 around overreactions/phobias that veered toward Full-scale War- but then brought focus back toward greater peace, merging with our Parallels that have secured that (even with clear growing pains). Jun 20-23= DIVERGENCE: Realities branch based on our reactions to surprises happening through the month that bring shock or understanding. *In some parallels, Earthquakes happened in the Pacific Rim and New Madrid Fault. (This info is not from the Energy Report, but from this Ask M Transcript.) - Jul 20-23= CONVERGENCE: June’s divergence separated parallels creating war/oppression & parallels creating equality/inclusion. This Nexus then brings all realities in that are actively evolving & exploring equality, inclusion, empathy and compassion. Aug 14= CONVERGENCE: Straggling Parallels of versions of us that gave up/stopped trying because of hardships/obstacles/struggles now return because they’ve worked on healing. As such, we feel our sense of effort, enthusiasm and energy amplify now. Sep 14= CONVERGENCE: Parallels merge for those who explored isolation, separation, lack of intimacy/community etc. This Nexus then brings heightened efforts to nurture and sustain common ground, intimacy and resonance. On larger scales, this shift relates issues of immigration, borders and equality. - Oct 18= DIVERGENCE: Realities branch to bring shifts in power among countries. Nov 22-23= DIVERGENCE: Realities that are concerned with the balance of practical reality with fantasy/illusion, or an extreme entrenching in one or the other now branch off. For most older souls, this is a reality check nexus that can be used to practically nurture or plant our fantasies into reality. Dec 25-28= DIVERGENCE: Parallels branch to explore dreaded or anticipated versions of the future, through choices of self-nurturing or self-preservation. 2016 (The Year of Collective Turning Points): Jan 10-15= CONVERGENCE: Similar parallels reunite where certain fragments just died vs had died some time ago. Most who die in the next 3 Months are in final closure of all their parallels. Feb 8-17= MAJOR DIVERGENCE: A Planetary Shift of parallels to more Peaceful and Humanitarian Paths, more Turbulent and Disruptive Paths, or more of “The Same”. This Nexus feels like letting go of directions you’re no longer interested in & a renewed conscious focus on what you are. Mar 19= MINI DIVERGENCE: A possible shift related to events caused by a high-profile event or person representing the force of a population/collective. If it occurs, it will narrow paths forward. - Apr 22-29= MAJOR DIVERGENCE: The previous Energy Shift on April 16-19 that emphasized Power Struggles & where the personal, national or global Center of Power is, may now result in a shift in Power that closes down several potential parallels. May 30= MINOR DIVERGENCE: A small but intense shift that emphasizes a major event in your individual life or on a larger-scale for the country or planet. - Jul 29= DIVERGENCE: Parallels branch off for those that are interested in escalating toward greater war. Sep 26= BREAKTHROUGH: For those in a Turning Point, this Nexus emphasizes Breakthrough and leaves behind the options of Breakdown. If this shift doesn’t come, you may feel a huge release from gravity to float above+be free from patterns of burden and demand to recreate yourself, refresh your perspective, bring relief from fears so you can catch your breath & take on the rest of the year with vitality, creativity and love. - Nov 7-10= MAJOR DIVERGENCE: A dramatic shift to work on Collective Karmic themes. All living on the planet are on a path that seeks to heal the world on a profound and lasting level- though it may not look like so as the wounds have to be clearly identified and pronounced & the creation of peace is not always pretty. There are 2 Major Karmas being tapped into now. Younger Souls are working out Karma around choosing Collective Responsibility and Self-Discipline vs Self-Preservation and Oppression. Older Souls are working out Karma around choosing Passivity/Complacency and Convenience vs Being Awake+Taking Action to Resolve Legitimate Threats. Dec 13-21= CONVERGENCE: A slow, lengthy merging of all realities coming together on the verge of “global revolution”. 2017 (The Year of Collective Humanitarianism): Jan 19-23= CONVERGENCE: Same as the December Convergence above. Feb 26-Mar 2= MAJOR DIVERGENCE: A nexus bringing the first signs of Relief from recent events. It is an exit ramp for those interested in extreme versions of reality which removes that element from our parallels to help improve morale for those “here”. Mar 30= MINI DIVERGENCE: Parallels branch off for those in our Energy Ring that are actively refusing Pleasure or Peace. - Apr 15-20= DIVERGENCE: Certain Parallels branch towards themes of War. May 19-21= DIVERGENCE: A potentially dramatic shift to more meaningful, acceptable and inclusive negotiations among world leaders- or more turmoil, shock and extremism. - Jul 20-23= MAJOR CONVERGENCE: A great clash between discordant realities arises- where how deeply you’re invested in being right vs being fair comes up, due to strong Declarations made by you+others toward one side or the other. On a Personal Scale, this shows as a strong sense you must choose between staying locked in -Subjectivity or finally embrace +Objectivity. For the Collective this divide shows in the Political Arena. Aug 21= DIVERGENCE: Branchings related to the Total Solar Eclipse that prompt unexpected effects triggering collective panic/shock or wonder/awe (especially in the US). Sep 20-23= DIVERGENCE: More branchings that shift Parallels toward various extremes for the next 100 Years. As they split off, they act like release valves bringing greater relief from pressure, or a continued sense of trust+calm in collective progress over collapse “here”. - Oct 10-14= DIVERGENCE: A branching with unknown effects. Nov 21= CONVERGENCE: A mix of Parallels where growing fears/anxiety/uncertainty were met with successful solutions now converge, bringing a fairly pivotal time for healing & problem-solving that will unfold over the next 3 to 6 Months. Dec 18-22= CONVERGENCE: An unusual merging of parallels that have “failed” and “succeeded” share in common extremes of climate & power struggles. The same conditions exist across these realities, but there are differences in the people's capacity for resolving these daunting scenarios. A wave of “refugee” parallels that moved into hopelessness are integrating into this reality to seek help & this brings a sobering vision+awareness of the larger-scale issues for those who have been ignoring reality. 2018 (The Year of Collective Revolution): Dec 23 2017 - Jul 11 2018= NEXUS BUBBLE: The Ms say that Nexuses are like synaptic pathways for the mind of Human Sentience to explore various passages of thought, emotion and action. A Nexus Bubble however, is like a neural cell that gets so dense with Karmic and Self-Karmic thoughts, emotions and actions it weighs humanity down. As such, we are forced to deal with these patterns of karma & self-karma until everyone on the planet can see it's a problem- and so any sense of personal reality is then flipped upside down so we can see the collective reality around us. Nexus Bubbles tend to occur during a monumental Paradigm Shift from one Soul Age to another, as there is a pivotal lesson learnt at these times that changes the course of life forever. In our case, we are shifting from a Young Soul Paradigm to a Mature Soul Paradigm- and the karma & self-karma at hand is one of humanity continuing to perpetuate and allow all forms of INTENTIONAL VIOLENCE to occur indefinitely. During this period, we have learnt that we are all a part of LIFE, and that the idea that we all have separate personal lives is an illusion. As such we are facing the fear that we can't divide, separate, escape, compartmentalize ourselves from the world- and realizing a deep truth that we are all interconnected and always will be. Through this, Humanity is en route to generating a reality of GLOBAL UNITY, but this will play out in both negative and positive ways. --- July 12-21= NEXUS BUBBLE COLLAPSES, bringing both DIVERGENCE and CONVERGENCE. This shift is characterized by a strong sense of acceleration, intensity and escalation. The Divergence is focused on a Liberation of incompatible & disparate parts of everyone that were bottled up in the same reality throughout the Nexus Bubble. The Convergence is focused on various parallels of us Listening to our Core Voice- cutting off or through all the noisy bullshit voices around & inside us to hear at least one voice within or around that says we matter to & in this world Aug 25-27= CONVERGENCE: A merging of parallels seeing "strength in numbers" that are willing to address, shift and resolve the looming potential of war & great conflict. This marks a rise in serious awareness & consideration of the reality of war, as part of an effort to update the growing battle throughout the last few decades between Young Soul ideas of Conflict as necessary for Growth, and Mature Soul ideas of Compassion as necessary for Growth.

Energy Report September 2009 [note: Every year has a pattern of energy that can be described as a kind of "personality," so the energy reports are Michael's interpretation of that energy using the Overleaf System; these are not predictions, but merely observations of momentum and pattern generated by actions and choices, similar to how weather patterns can be observed and reported.] September appears to be moving in the direction of a "fresh start" for many of our students. It is the last month of emphasis on the Attitude of Idealist, which could be said to be the exploration of the "philosophy of improvement." This emphasis on the Attitude began in July, launched from what some may have been considered "high hopes," moved through August's deep sense of disappointment, distraction, and disheartenment with life as Ideals were measured against reality, and now moves into September with a more solid sense of footing. The extremes of Idealism having been explored, most can now find the balance between Naivety and Coalescence, the negative and positive poles of Idealism. For most, this appears to be showing up as some form of "fresh start," as we said, and this fresh start is most likely marked by inclusion of the Moving Center. By this we mean that ACTION is the key that appears to have been missing in the equation of your ideals for improvement of your life, self, relationships, etc. For some, this may be marked by a literal TO DO list; for others this may show up as a literal move from one location to another; and for others it may show up in the form of traveling; but in all cases, it would show up as some form of MOVEMENT. When the Attitude of the Personality is in the negative pole, it brings down the entire Personality, in most cases. The Attitude could be said to be the hub of the Personality, so to speak, around which all other components function. In other words, if your primary philosophy about life is askew, everything is askew. Therefore, the key to True Personality, (which is the energies that are "you" when governed by conscious Choice) is held in the Attitude. When one wishes to change one's Attitude, there are many ways to do so, but one of the most effective ways is to engage the most-neglected Center (Moving, Intellectual, or Emotional) in the Personality. On an individual level, this would vary, but when speaking in terms of participating in, and contributing to, the collective weather of energy patterns, this would be determined by the most common denominator that is generated out of a group, and in this case, this year, it is the Moving Center. To participate in, and contribute to, the collective pattern of Idealism this year, it would be done through the participation and contribution toward MOVING, or taking action. Despite the fact that the Moving Center has been evident in global and local events in varying degrees, it has not been as evident for many on a Personal level beyond Frustration, a negative pole description of the Moving Center, which can also be described as Frenetic. Frustration is generated when energy is moved in a direction that lacks fulfillment of intention, whereas Productivity, the positive pole, is the fulfillment of intention. If improvement is intended, then not only will thinking and feeling be required, but action will be, as well. A renovation job is not fulfilled by mere excitement and blueprints alone; someone needs to DO something. And the same goes for moving Idealism out of Naivety and into Coalescence. Put another way, you are the one who has to do the work to accomplish, transform, or embrace what you have set out to accomplish, transform, or embrace. To go further behind the dynamics that can help to bring the Idealism to the positive pole, we would suggest looking at what helps the Moving Center continue to work Productively, rather than Frustratingly: LAUGHTER. Laughter is a biological product from the higher functions of the Moving Center, which then fuels the lower, more mundane levels of the Moving Center toward Productivity, which then provides the conscious and creative navigation toward fulfillment of an Ideal (or on an individual level, whatever Attitude may be of relevance.) Laughter is vital for Productivity, and though we do refer to the physical elements of laughing, we also refer to the internal laughter that allows you to not take yourself or your life so seriously. There is a vast difference between treating yourself seriously, and taking yourself seriously. Treating yourself seriously emphasizes you as a valuable and meaningful Being, while taking yourself seriously merely emphasizes and amplifies (and defends) the question of your value and meaning. In other words, treating yourself seriously is simply another way of describing Confidence, whereas taking yourself too seriously is Insecurity. Treating yourself seriously, ironically, means being able to laugh at yourself and your experiences, creatively navigating through your hardships and disappointments, and being able to decide on your own what those experiences mean to you. September, then, may not only be a month of activity and movement, but a month that may be peppered with downtime for reflection on the comedy vs tragedy aspects of your life. Some of you may be ready to, at least, chuckle at this year's frustrations, absurdities, and tragedies, both in terms of experiences or in terms of your behavior and choices, shaking your head affectionately at the realization of your confidence and trust that has been built within you from the experiences. That confidence and trust is there, regardless of your realization of it, but your realization of it transforms it from a hidden stockpile into an collection of accessible tools for you to use for fulfilling your Ideal; your chosen direction of improvement. We remind you that we speak to those participating in, and contributing to, the collective energies we can see moving in larger patterns, but it is just as true that we have pockets of students who do not have any interest in "improvement," or Ideals, and have opted out. For those who have opted out of this energy, we have seen a rather fast-paced, but rather smooth, momentum of the year, bringing with it a sense of movement and change, but without such fluctuations and challenges. These fragments will seem to be moving right along in their protected bubbles of reality that seem untouched by the reality of ups and downs that others are experiencing, but neither reality is any more or less desirable or valid. The reality that is valid and desirable to you is the one you are experiencing; there are no exceptions. September 5th through the 7th is a NEXUS for many of our students, but just as many will experience their Nexus at various points (individually) over the days between the 15th and the 20th. This means some may be the 15th through the 17th, while others may be the 16th through the 18th, etc., but most will be around 3 days. A Nexus is a pivotal period of time where collective choices either create a convergence (a coming together of group paths/realities) or a divergence (a splintering of group paths/realities). There tend to be themes around these that help describe the direction the Nexus might take. These happen fairly regularly on a Personal level, and almost monthly on a Community level, and one to three times a year on a Global level. This Nexus is a Community Nexus, which usually means that this shift occurs in pockets of time close together that eventually "add up" to the collective shift of your community. A "Community" would be anyone remotely meaningful within your social or family circle. If you communicate with that person, he or she is a part of your community. This means that those within your more immediate circle would most likely move through the Nexus together, or close together. Keep in mind that having contact with someone is not the same thing as communicating. Not everyone with whom you have contact, even on a regular basis, is someone with whom you communicate (engage in meaningful exchange). This Nexus is a divergence, which would mean that most of you may feel a diversion of directions, a parting of paths, a scattering of attention from within your community, but this is not a "bad thing." When a divergence happens on a personal level, parts of you literally spin off into new realities that pursue different paths of reality. When a divergence happens on a community level, the community either comes together to address the various needs of the community, or the community dissolves. For most of our students, we see the emphasis moving in the direction of addressing various goals, directions, and needs within the community as a means to continue nurturing that community. This is not to say that some will not dissolve, but that most will simply find a way to multi-task toward fulfillment of group ideals. To the degree that your community addresses its needs and works together toward an ideal, is the degree to which October, November, and December would generate prosperity, feelings of abundance, and the nurturing that this year has been moving toward as a Server year. To the degree that your community loses its sense of humor, disregards its needs, and does not act, is the degree to which October, November, and December would be submerged in the exploration of panic, distraction, intolerance, and victimization, the hallmarks of Impatience and Martyrdom. Whether now, or in the future of this life, or in between lives, or in a future life, or at the end of your Physical Plane incarnations, all of you will eventually discover one of the most profound truths of your existence, and that is: Despite what you have been taught by others, or have interpreted through your experiences, life is hilarious. Put in terms more expressive of this channel: "Life is a hoot!" This Truth is not a cruel or dispassionate statement, but quite the opposite: full of deep compassion and trust. When a parent sees the humor in the "tragic" stumbling of a child, or the "lethal" embarrassment of a teen, he or she is merely seeing the bigger picture of ultimate lack of threat to that child or teen, and so it is that you begin to see your own and others' experiences as ultimately without threat, therefore leaving room for the spectrum of humor, across the affectionate shaking of the head, rolling of the eyes, snickers, giggles, chuckles, and even into blatant bursts of laughter. Extracting, interpreting, or creating laughter from tragedy is part of manifesting one's Essence as an Older Soul. You are not expected by any means to rush into that truth, and nor should you expect that of yourself as some sign of enlightenment, unless you choose to impose that expectation upon yourself, of course. This truth is one that naturally comes to light at the pace in which you integrate and comprehend your experiences, and there simply is no race to do such a thing. Many do not "get it" until the final breaths of the final life, while others "get it" in bits and pieces throughout every lifetime. It is never beneficial to force this process of realization because then one moves away from humor and and into hysterics. Life is hilarious, not hysterical. Hysterics is a defense against, and an evasion of, experiences, not an embrace and comprehension. For those of you who wonder if you've experienced the truth of the humor of your life, we can say that if you experience a tragic or challenging experience of your past as now being nostalgic to any degree, then you have a hint at the beauty that is ultimately your life. Everything taken from your lives will ultimately range from nostalgic to hilarious. We remind you that humor is simply the resolution of paradox, which is when two or more surprising, unexpected, or conflicting elements come together and then resolve into comprehension. One thing that every reunited entity shares is a "good laugh" as we go through the collective catalog of lifetimes and the comical nature of tragedy is even more glaringly revealed. Some of you already suspect, and it is valid, that we do often share "laughs" with even your own Essence, but we do promise that we never laugh AT you, only WITH you. KEY PHRASE FOR THIS MONTH: Everyone is ultimately safe. Everyone. Including me.

June 3, 1999 Troy Tolley, Channel Open Floor [Michael_Entity] We are here. One moment. We find it is important to emphasize that certain terms that have become standard in what is referred to as our Teaching have not been fully explored in their varying contexts. The Higher Moving Center, in and of itself, can be labeled many things in terms of its positive and negative poles. When speaking of the Higher Moving Center in terms of a fluctuation of Energy on any given planet, it must be referred to in terms of “+beauty” “-chaos”. Beauty is the conscious recognition of patterns while Chaos is simply the relinquishing of that recognition. This past week and weekend have proven that most prefer the default of Chaos over Beauty. (We will add here that most of our system actually resides within three layers. There are three layers of Overleaf observations, for instance, which accounts for the varying “discrepancies”. They are not discrepancies, but focuses on different layers/levels. We will address this at a time more conducive to understanding.) At this time, it is suggested by Otterly [aka Troy Tolley] that questions be responded to. We realize our time is precluded tonight, but we will respond, nonetheless. Begin Questions. [bn] Michael said that most people choose the default of chaos. Can we have an example of the choice someone had and how they chose? [Michael_Entity] Chaos is easier to manage. Over eons of time, Crisis can be managed much more effectively than life, itself. Therefore, it becomes the “default” for many. We have no specific examples, but we suspect some of you can come up with a few from your week past. Beauty, on the other hand, which is essentially the conscious recognition of pattern and the assimilation of place in that pattern, is much more challenging. Either perspective is a valid route through a lifetime. [bn] By “Beauty is the recognition of patterns”, does Michael mean patterns in how events occur around us synchronistically? [Michael_Entity] We would agree, yes, this would be one meaning. [bn] The idea that there is no haphazard reason for the coincidences in our lives? [Michael_Entity] “Haphazard” is from the vocabulary of fear. This term is selectively used to refer to those things with which recognition of beauty has not occurred. “Synchronistic” and “miraculous” are different names for the same phenomenon: selective perceptions of Beauty. Everything is synchronistic and miraculous in reality. These labeled events only stand out because they resonate so strongly with what Personality intended or observed as beneficial. Many things dismissed as “bad luck” or “obstacles” or “haphazard” are as useful, simply not always consciously “intended”. While in the lifetime, Personality can free up reservoirs of energy from it’s environment and increase conscious interaction with Essence by seeing the patterns (beauty) in all events, (however unsatisfactory). When your terms for recognizing beauty shifts to include even those things not consciously intended, you may find your world easier to manage. Fulfillment extends from trusting your progress. Trusting (another term for recognizing beauty) allows you to change directions in life easily when determined, rather than fight your own Essence’s creativity. We are extending past the territory of the Higher Moving Center flux and into more abstract areas. We can discuss this, but in terms of this past week’s energy “weather”, we have answered. next then [M6] When Michael entered here I felt a rush of energy, felt by others (backchannel) as well. This continues. Was this Michael, our own guides, or what? [Michael_Entity] The experience most of you feel in these chats with us, either though Otterly [Troy Tolley] or our other channels, is simply the alignment with your own Essences. This is the one way you can sincerely “hear” us, otherwise you are using your Modes in the negative pole. This connection to Essence may or may not be accompanied by sensations, but we rarely see any of you refraining from this opening to non-physical contact during our contact with you. We are familiar. The “rush” is that connection which is available at all times, of course. By opening in this way, you actually “touch” us, bringing our energy into your own as a teaching unto itself, not simply an observation or mode of phenomenon. We are saying much more than can be typed through this channel during a chat so we seek to answer or respond to your own private concerns without the limitation of this channel’s ability to type. Therefore, some of you “feel” us more specifically. next then. [Fe] Do the events in my life over the past week relate to the state of the Higher Moving center and the topic of Chaos? May I view this situation as catalytic for change? [Michael_Entity] You may view your experiences in any way you choose, however, yes, you gained clarity from the negative pole of the Higher Moving Center since it is more recognizable. As with most of you, you will begin to move into the more positive pole as this next week progresses. This will be a week of what some refer to as “ah-ha’s!” When dealing with the Higher Moving Centers, it is difficult to find any actual “negative” effects, regardless of the poles. What you have deemed your “chaos” can later be recognized as your ‘beauty”. We see that you know what you must do. This fluctuation of energy (catalysis) also helps you refine your sense of self-trust. We suggest, if you choose, to act upon that. next. [Jn] Is “going with the flow” being on the neutral from +beauty and -chaos of the Higher Moving energy? I am wondering if it is possible to adopt a neutral or balanced stance. [Michael_Entity] “Balanced” or “Neutral” is always relative to the fragment experiencing the given circumstance. While one fragment in the NEGATIVE pole of an Overleaf may find complete imbalance, another may find a sense of “home”. We find that MOST prefer the Positive Poles, but it is not necessary to BE in the positive poles to experience balance or neutrality. For instance, Charles Manson and Ted Bundy are at peace with their stances. If you prefer Chaos as your method of change and connection, that is your choice. If you prefer Beauty, it is equally valid. The Tao has no enforced maps. next. [bn] I feel that lately my life has become very confusing with many important decisions looming. Would this be due to the increased energy in the Higher Moving Center? I think I am also beginning to work on my 4th Internal Monad. I sense that I am entering a period of re-evaluation of my life. Is this 4th IM stuff? I feel like I want to change so much and let go of so much and yet still I wish to “play it safe” and change nothing. [Michael_Entity] It is accurate that you see yourself in the Monad. You are not entering the Monad, however, but moving from the 4th Level to the 5th Level. You will enter the 5th Level in reality later this year, but for now, it is this fourth level that holds your attention. You are “pushed”, so to speak, as the Higher Moving Center levels your playing field and opens opportunities for you to manifest from your being, your Essence. Your wanting to “change so much stuff” is a result of your Essence having already “changed it”. Personality need only make decisions now. You will begin to see the results of this over the year ahead. You have been amiss in thinking the attention you have given to what it is you wanted to change requires more than simple decisions. There is no need for elaboration in planning. A decision will set your Sequences into action. Your sense that these changes are “impending” is your cue that these changes have already been made on an Essence level; they are yours. Part of you has sought them out and here is your opportunity to allow them, or reject them. Claim them or turn them away as you decide. next. [A2] My own experiences have been very physical in the past weeks. Besides the “ah-has” of next week, what are the next steps? I guess I am asking for further weather report if that is possible. [Michael_Entity] In the weeks ahead, particularly the next two, you will see what EXACTLY holds you from resting into your chosen environments. You get to see some things in light of what “has to be changed” in order to proceed. We will note here that most of our students are on a fast-paced movement of experiences in regard to their Goals. The next two weeks will allow a removal of some past life/early life beliefs that have been carried, blocking you, and thus allowing a freer form of expression in your environment. It will be your choice to act upon the opportunities, but we see most of you in this room attracting the opportunity to extend yourselves past what you previously expected of yourselves. By this we mean, as your ROLES. To elaborate: regardless of your Personality Dynamics, your Roles are able to “shine”. It is a rare opportunity, and it is an even rarer collective event, but most of what you recognize as familiar about yourselves will be set aside for more “essential” expression after the next couple of weeks. This year is specifically geared toward that. We will share more about this as the next month unfolds. It is at that time that a Community Shift in parallels will occur and at that time more will fall into place. Final questions? [M6] A Community shift in parallels? Explain? [Michael_Entity] There are three levels of Parallel Shifts/Nexus: Individual (happening throughout the year at any time deemed appropriate by the Essence), Community Shifts (a group of shared consciousness steers themselves into a reality of shared interests); and Global, (a collective Sentience of a given planet moves into various parallels for various explorations of reality as a whole). At this point, July 17th looks to be a window for many Community divergences and convergences. We will conclude here, then.

Seeing as how this year is a big Turning Point year, I'm deciding to look at times of Nexus Branching or Merging throughout the year to see any patterns. If you want to see the direct writings from Troy, just click on the links below. *(Also look at this for a more direct look at how parallels occur: http://our.truthloveenergy.com/topic/290-more-parallel-and-timeline-background-information/#comment-523 Energy Shifts are most likely Interference and Amplitudes leading to or away from convergences and divergences.) 2015 4th QUARTER- EMPHASIZES SCHOLAR and HIGHER MOVING CENTER ENERGY OCTOBER 2015- Emphasizes Stubbornness>Greed Oct 9-11- ENERGY SHIFT-ENERGY SURGE- A surge of anxiety/panic/worry, or enthusiasm/ideas/excitement. It can be used however one chooses. Oct 18- DIVERGENCE- An initial wave of branching parallels related to shifts in power among countries. NOVEMBER 2015 Nov 3- ENERGY SHIFT-ENERGY SURGE/DRAIN- A day that brings either a surge of enthusiasm or irritation, but if not harnessed, may quickly become exhaustion+frustration. Nov 22-23- DIVERGENCE- A branching based on those focused on the balance between fantasy+illusion and practical reality- or extremes of focus on those. DECEMBER 2015 Dec 18- ENERGY SHIFT- HIGHER MOVING SURGE- A day that may mark a "big change" that will carry through 2016 on some level, and/or an obvious insight into the momentum of 2016 on the planet. Dec 25-28- DIVERGENCE- A branching of parallels between anticipated and dreaded versions of the future. 2016- EMPHASIZES SERVER and MOVING CENTER ENERGY JANUARY 2016- Emphasizes Discrimination Jan 10-15- CONVERGENCE- Parallels reunite, with some being those where some fragments died, and others being where those same fragments are/were recently alive. Most who die over the next 3 months are in their final closure of all parallels. (Probably means that they're dying before the turning point.) Jan 20-25- ENERGY SHIFT-RELIEF- A time of needed relief, rest, communion, creativity etc. FEBRUARY 2016 Feb 6-9- ENERGY SHIFT-COMPLETIONS/BEGINNINGS- Revolves around the end of something, and the beginning of another. This can be a time of relief/enthusiasm/refreshing perspective+energy, or dread/sadness/overwhelm- the difference in experience depends on whether one cares too much+wants to control more, cares too little+resents/resigns from the responsibility of caring, or wants to learn how to better care. Feb 8-17- MAJOR DIVERGENCE- A Global Shift that divides those parts of self/community/globe, more interested in humanitarian+peaceful paths vs. turbulent+disruptive paths vs. the same as things are. MARCH 2016 Mar 17- ENERGY SHIFT-PHOBIA- Shift into Caution begins. People look towards and experience their unwarranted fears/reactions and their actions based on that. Mar 19- MINI DIVERGENCE- Dependent on whether events happen, that are generated by a high-profile event/person representing the force of a population/collective. If this occurs, the effects would be in terms of narrowing paths forward. APRIL 2016- Emphasizes Caution Apr 16-19- ENERGY SHIFT-POWER STRUGGLE- Related to a shift in power on a larger-scale. On more personal levels- a time when adjustments are needed to determine where one's center of power is, and how to move forward with that. Apr 22-29- MAJOR DIVERGENCE- Dependent on whether a shift in power as above occurs, and would reflect this shift. Closes down several potential(unformed) parallels. MAY 2016 May 7-9- ENERGY SHIFT-ENERGY SURGE- A time when anxiety/shock/worry/dread or excitement/enthusiasm/surprise/pleasure may amplify. May 30- MINI DIVERGENCE- Brings intense emphasis to a major event in one's life, or locally, or for one's country/the planet. JUNE 2016 Jun 1-3- ENERGY SHIFT-ENERGY REDUCTION- A plummet in energy occurs so people can step out from a negative spiral and reset. It emphasizes moving away from a greater collective pattern and generating a new, more appealing pattern. Jun 20- ENERGY SHIFT-ENERGY SURGE- Shift towards Cynicism, leading to a rise in agitation/sensitivity or excitement in moving forward. JULY 2016- Emphasizes Cynicism Jul 3-7- ENERGY SHIFT-ENERGY REDUCTION- Plummet in energy resulting from trying to keep it together and focus on the positive. A time to pause, exhale, slow down, catch up to oneself etc. Jul 19- ENERGY SHIFT-ENERGY SURGE- A shift towards convictions+common ground causes, personally+collectively. Jul 29- DIVERGENCE- A focus on branching off parts of self interested in an escalation of conflict to greater war. AUGUST 2016 Aug 2- ENERGY SHIFT-TENTATIVE RELIEF- Brings a sense of possibility+perspective, and some may feel the need to "snap out of it" and shift in perspectives, but feel it as daunting due to Denigration. Aug 13- ENERGY SHIFT-KARMIC CLARITY- 2016 is a year of collective karma for what must be balanced/healed/corrected. This time helps to bring people out and up to the edges of chaos to gain a clearer sense of what needs to be done. Aug 27- ENERGY SHIFT-CONSCIOUS CREATION- A time of returning responsibility to one's creation of the future, and to unhook from heavy/personal patterns. Some may gain a well-needed sense of PERSPECTIVE & ATTITUDE for how to move forward. SEPTEMBER 2016 Sep 9-11- ENERGY SHIFT-POWER VS POSSIBILITY- Likely shows up as a power struggle between sustaining optimism+possibility, or being torn between the weight of destruction and construction. A time to step back and remind oneself of beauty/possibility/pleasure. Sep 26- BREAKTHROUGH NEXUS- As 2016 is a year of Turning Points, this is a time when that acceleration moves to either BREAKDOWN or BREAKTHROUGH, or a feeling of freeing release, followed by a return to recreating oneself+refreshing one's perspective. This may be subtle or obvious, but long-term in effect. OCTOBER 2016- Emphasizes Self-Destruction Oct 15- ENERGY SHIFT- BRACING FOR IMPACT- A tense, stressful, fight or flight time for knowing one is ready for the drop from the "top of the roller coaster". Either hang on for dear life and "enjoy" the ride, or scream in terror+panic and add to the noise.

March 6, 2005 Troy Tolley, Channel MICHAEL SPEAKS – Open Floor [Michael_Entity] Hello to each of you. We are here. We understand the floor is open to questions and we will do our best to respond to your questions as directly and clearly as possible. [upstaate] There is a nexus period, at the end of this month-Mar 23/24-can you expound on the energy flowing for this nexus. The theme was given, thru another channel, to be adventure. Thank You. [Michael_Entity] The beginning of your year has had the emphasis on the energies that could be described in terms of Role, Centering, and Goal. As with the first three months of any year, the Goal is primarily emphasized and throughout the year the rest of the Overleaves used to describe the energy will eventually be emphasized during their own “seasons.” As this year is emphasizing Server energy and a Higher Emotional Centering as the overall context, this means that each of you will have the opportunity to grasp the higher perception of your own life and of those around you. These first few months have introduced the emphasis of ACCEPTANCE (the collective Goal for the year) within the context of higher perception and service/nurturing. In other words, each of you have probably had to deal with AT LEAST one element, incident, or experience that has put you in a position to consider ACCEPTANCE of that element, incident, or experience while also being able to draw a great amount of self-nurturing during the process. This Acceptance will only come through your ability to see the higher meaning behind the event and through your ability to respond to the experience with your inner resources of nurturing. Many difficult experiences have peppered the beginning of this year because this time frame has had the energetic support “in the air” for adapting to these events and experiences. Deaths, Major Changes, Release, Reunions, News (“good” and “bad”), etc. have been condensed into these first 3 months because the general energy is able to be used as a way to accelerate the healing, introduction, change, etc. All of that being said; the Nexus that is formulating around the 23rd – 25th is about the release of tension from these first three months. Some of our channels may refer to that release as ADVENTURE because there is an opportunity here to pull in the experiences, tools, and people that would allow for a great deal of FUN. That time frame would also introduce the energy of the MODE for this year, which is Observation, so many of you will find that your experience of Adventure will be utilized through WATCHING something. We remind you that ADVENTURE has its own spectrum through which fragments can extract the experience. The Positive Pole being PRESENCE and the Negative Pole being DRAMA; the range of Adventure can be from Destruction to Enlightenment. [upstaate] and it is our choice how we will perceive that? [Michael_Entity] As far as we can see, most of you are quite ready for at least a mid-range to high-range of Adventurous experience, meaning you will most likely experience anything thing from: Sensory Excitement, such as great sex, release, recreation, travel; Stimulation of Mind, such as learning something quite surprising and new; Essence Contact, such as feeling an alignment and peace within yourself; and as we said, Enlightenment, or put another way, feeling TOTALLY PRESENT. So it would be beneficial for many of you to mark your calendars and use that Nexus to emphasize your ability to choose a direction toward what might be FUN, rewarding, playful and most importantly bringing you into a sense of being fully present and alive. [faldec] My father a 6th young priest has stated he has to have wrist watches with a magnetically shielded back on them or they’ll stop working. What relationship exists between essence and having an energetic effect on the surroundings? TY [Michael_Entity] None; or very little. The effect on the functionality of machinery on the body is purely a physical phenomenon and is usually not permanent. It is the result of the physical body/Personality being out of synch with its environment. The only relationship between Essence and the phenomenon is in that there does appear to be a fairly consistent connection between Frequency and/or Role. Higher Frequency fragments and/or Expressive/Inspiration Roles can tend to have this effect on the Personality/Body and its ability to synchronize with its environment. More specifically though is in the way the Personality UTILIZES the energy that is the Essence. Those who tend to deflect inner guidance can be most susceptible to energetic fluctuations and distortions of the body matrix. In other words, and at its most distilled explanation, this phenomenon happens most to those who have not learned to be accountable for their impact on their world, lacking the ability to manage even the closest surfaces of their boundaries (skin). [BradburySE] There was a story in the news this week, about 68 dolphins who beached themselves in the Florida Keys. Was this another case of a “mass suicide” meant to communicate with the humans, or was it, as the Navy supposes that underwater sonar interfered with their communication and they became disoriented? [Michael_Entity] These pods appear to have been involved with a cult leader who had gained the trust of the participants, promising them that another dimension of existence was just beyond the boundaries of their own familiar world. Some pods of Cetaceans have surrendered to the teachings of some corrupt or misguided leaders as the oceans continue to become threatened to a degree. In the same way that your own Jim Jones or Heaven’s Gate leaders convinced (or forced) small masses to accept suicide as a doorway, so too do the Cetaceans have that susceptibility. [BradburySE] It never occurred to me that other species could be as stupid as humans, but I suppose it is their right. [Michael_Entity] It is not a matter of stupidity. That is a relative judgment. It is a matter of fulfilling monads and karma. [faldec] if humans do it, then cetaceans will too…after all it only choice [Annsge] I think we like to think of Cetaceans as wiser, but they’re evolving just as we are. [Michael_Entity] The irony is in the fact that the leader was a highly telepathic sentient who had been receiving input from the psyches of human leaders who teach what is known as Christianity. It appears this misguided leader taught that there was a way to “save the world” by becoming “Angels;” a term no other Cetacean has ever taught. [Annsge] What was his/her role, soul age? [upstaate] could it be a pod that is not familiar with that area and its people? [Michael_Entity] We are not sure we understand your question, Lori. [upstaate] I ask because there are people who do dolphin cruises that have become quite familiar with the pods in that area and have named some of the more frequent pods that stay around in that area. [Michael_Entity] We understand now. The Pods were local and some of the teachings were gained from the telepathic links to tourists with distorted religious beliefs and apocalyptic visions of the world. The leader appears to be a Mature King. The average soul age of Cetaceans is the same as your own species (and incidentally, the universe): 1st Level Mature [upstaate] oh, how sad then for the locals who have come to love these creatures. [Tibtyc] Good evening. If I understand the concept of 4th internal Monad (and my life) correctly, I did mine twelve years ago. Or at least started it. That happened rather dramatically. Now my life has come to a halt, like the end of a road. Could this be my 5th monad? The Monads remind me of the acts in an opera, or the movements in a symphony. How to differentiate between 4th and 5th internal Monad, or Monads generally? That is my question. [Michael_Entity] The 4th Internal Monad has an emphasis on REGAINING INNOCENCE, or put another way, Growing Into Your Own Idea of YOU. The 5th Internal Monad has an emphasis on RECREATING YOUR LIFE, or put another way, HAVING FUN. Your life has come to a halt simply for the sake of your “catching your breath.” There are 7 stages to every cycle of growth whether described in terms of a Monad or in terms of a relationship; 3 Exalted stages, 3 Ordinal stages, and 1 Pivotal/Neutral point. The Pivotal/Assimilative/Neutral Point is a point that can be called upon at ANY TIME during the process of the other 6 stages. This allows the Personality to gain its footing after a particularly difficult stage, if necessary. It is also the point in which you finalize a cycle so as to gain the benefits of the whole process you just completed. Some would call this point THE VOID. We agree with that phrase. [Tibtyc] Is the 4th stage like catching your breath? I mean the Neutral point. [Michael_Entity] What you are describing as a “halt” is more like a moment or period of time much like having your foot between two rungs on a ladder; except that you have forgotten that there is movement. With your emphasis on the suspension between steps, you may feel you are at a halt or even terribly ungrounded or non-directional. But we assure you that you are never at a halt. [Tibtyc] Actually the “halt” only refers to outer aspects. And I keep thinking of the do-re-mi system, the octave [Michael_Entity] The 4th stage within either of the Monads would be MANIFESTATION, or the stage of tangibility. We will include with Troy’s transcription the 7 stages for the 4th and 5th Internal Monads for your further exploration. [slacnj] Does Michael have any students who are dolphins? [Michael_Entity] No, we do not. We restrict ourselves to the teachings that are applicable to the human condition, though we do have Cetacean “friends,” if you will. [slacnj] I thought you had a student on another planet, Soleal, so I was wondering. [Michael_Entity] The identity described as Soleal is a distorted interpretation during and previous to our initial contact with our current students. [Annsge] Is there more in this “distorted perception”?

May 6, 2007 Troy Tolley, Channel MICHAEL SPEAKS Online – Open Floor [Michael Entity] Hello to all of you. We are here. We will begin with a few comments about the “energy report” for the month of May and what those weeks ahead may entail for most of you. As some of you already know, you are in an arc of emphasis highlighting the energy of the MODE, which comes into emphasis in the months of April through June. We have described this year’s Mode as being OBSERVATION; therefore, emphasis will seem to be themed in what that description suggests. As the Mode describes how one RELATES, it could be said that the emphasis at this time is in observing how one relates to one’s goals, one another, within oneself, etc. We have seen a great surge of self-awareness and aliveness move through our students since April has begun, and this energy is related to this use of Observation as a powerful tool of Clarity, rather than as a form of division in Surveillance. That is not to say that some of you will not feel the sense of division from that which you observe, so if you find you feel disconnected from those things that would otherwise bring to you a sense of life, it may be that you have moved into more of a self-protective process of observation until you feel “safe” to touch again. This is natural. For the first few weeks of this arc of energy, the emphasis appeared to us to have had an emphasis on OWNING your part of the equation of relationships. Furthermore, it was a process of owning with conviction and commitment that which you were discovering to be who you are NOW, in relation to yourself and your choices. We now find that the emphasis may be shifting into an exploration of MEANING and TRUTH within your relationships. Moving away from the HELL YEAH! of April as your exclamation of commitment and conviction, you may now be moving into more of a WHAT THE HELL??? scenario of exploration. By this phrase we mean it in two ways: the playful tossing up of the hands to go forth with what may not “make sense” at the moment, and in meaning the more perplexed confusion that comes from the contradiction between what you thought was true vs what has come to be known as true. This spectrum within WHAT THE HELL??? comes from the exploration of Meaning and Truth within whatever is the focus for your RELATING during the month of May and possibly into June. Many of you search for meaning and truth within this life, in general, and this gets played out in the microcosmic level, if you will, within your relationships. However, as your soul matures, so does your realizations regarding Meaning and Truth. And as with the realization that will one day be found by all of you about life, the same will be found in regard to your relationships at some point: THERE IS NO MEANING TO BE FOUND. This threshold of realization can be one of the most terrifying crossroads for any Essence and particularly for the Personality within a lifetime that finally grasps this Universal Truth. MEANING DOES NOT EXIST AS SOMETHING TO BE FOUND. MEANING IS SOMETHING THAT ONE MUST CREATE. Note that we have not said that there is NO meaning, simply that it cannot be FOUND; it must be CREATED. Only insofar as you are participating in the creation of meaning in your life and in your relationships will you experience the discovery. Many of you tend to find that your relationships must come with a built-in significance that is unveiled and discovered as one assumes past lives are involved, Essence Contact, Cadre and Entity resonance, or Agreements, but this is simply not the case. In every moment one has to create meaning between who you are and to that which you are relating. Beyond that, everything else is simply information, static facts. The profound resonance one may find with another is NOT the meaning that will be the foundation of the relationship. That attraction is only the memory of other meanings, other facts, and the initiator of contact, but it is NOT the meaning. This holds true for those relationships that are not pleasant, as well, or that are anticipated with dread. The meaning you “find” within those instances are as created by you as any of your most profound joys between you and another. The longer you wait for meaning to be revealed to you, the longer you will remain asleep and in the negative poles of your Overleaves. We call this “meaninglessness” of life a Universal Truth because that is what it is, and it is True, with or without your approval. However, as with any Universal Truth, it is not a truth that can be told to you, or given to you, and then made true for you; it must be sensed, searched for, evolved, and then comprehended. By this we mean that you must eventually feel you have had the proof you need for this truth to be a Truth. For most of you, we believe you have found the proof of meaninglessness in many of your daily activities and long-term goals, as well as within your most beloved relationships and repulsive enemies. You SENSE this meaninglessness as a Truth because part of you is beginning to suspect that meaning is not inherent, it is created. It is yours. You have seen the proof of this in your fluctuating feelings and commitments to those things to which you relate. One day you may feel inspired and in awe of the one beside you in bed, and the next day you may feel repulsed and agitated with a sense that feels overwhelming to ponder. //ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (I was fascinated by this as I read it and asked Michael for more information): It should be noted that there are 3 Arcs of Meaning to be created within a life and within relationships. A FOUNDATIONAL ARC exists as the primary meaning across which all effort ranging from basic nurturing to ultimate agape within that relationship or life is motivated. The Foundational Arc is the arc to which one must always remain close as the shorter arcs fluctuate. The Foundational Arc is what remains even when the life is completed or a relationship appears to have ended. If one were to think of the Foundational Arc as the full potential meaning that one creates for the life or relationship, it would not be amiss. Within the Foundational Arc is the CONTEXTUAL ARC, which gives variation of meaning within the larger arc, relative to specific experiences for the day, month, year, etc. The Contextual Arc can sometimes seem to conflict with the Foundational Arc, but understanding the meaning you have created within these specific experiences can help you to understand who you are, more than it is to be used to determine the fate of a relationship or life. Thinking of the Foundational Arc as the rainbow of potential within the life or relationship, then the Contextual Arcs are the colors through which that Foundation is explored. Within the Contextual Arcs are the MOOD ARCS, which give clever expression to the flow of one's overall tone of intellectual, emotional, physical states at any given time, which is much like the HUE for the COLOR that is the current Contextual Arc. Mood Arcs are often THE meaning that one is most aware of and can often destroy the meaning that was created as a foundation. To know of your Mood Arcs can save your life or relationship. Foundational Arcs are THE MEANING I CREATE AS POTENTIAL FOR THIS LIFE OR RELATIONSHIP. Contextual Arcs are THE MEANING I CREATE FROM THE EXPERIENCES I AM HAVING WITHIN THIS LIFE OR RELATIONSHIP. Mood Arcs are THE MEANING I CREATE ABOUT MYSELF IN RELATION TO THE EXPERIENCES I AM HAVING RIGHT NOW. // end additional information It is over the month of May and June that you may see more of this proof of meaninglessness that then, ironically, opens your entire world to a new level of absolute meaning. The meaning you create within your life and within your relationships is the direct expression of your consciousness and Essence at any given time. In other words, the meaning you create is the path for your soul to enter into the world around and beyond you and to bring back the experiences to help support in that meaning. So as you struggle with the meaning you see and feel around you, you may find the WHAT THE HELL??? phrase to be of use to you. This will allow you the levity to create the meaning you feel is relevant to you in the moment, or to allow room for the shifts in meaning that do tend to happen as you shift in consciousness and Essence Manifestation. We will now open the floor to any questions. [H2OSprtlvr] Are you able to tell us what is it that caused the algae bloom in the Pacific ocean to be very acidic and to kill all the sea life that consumed it? Was it a chemical reaction to man made stuff in the ocean or just a unique type of algae created somehow? [Michael Entity] The acidic levels for the algae are part of a natural cycle that simply has not been documented before. There are other factors affecting the algae that are “man-made” in source, but this particular rise in acid is merely a cyclical event. Many cycles associated with weather, oceanic realms, and life on your planet in general have very little understanding, often leading to the modern equivalence to that of the gods being angry during an eclipse. [Ann] This past nexus seemed particularly intense. Is there any way of telling if an individual split off a parallel or if it was intense energies only? [Michael Entity] All of you “spun off” parallels. We have yet to see any of our students who did not. [H2OSprtlvr] I like the parallel I'm currently in. ;-) [Michael Entity] One of the ways in which one can tell when a parallel has spun off during a nexus is in that sense of direction, clarity, and momentum that may not have been present before the nexus. This is due to the fact of “your” now being able to focus on what “you” want, and other versions of you having gone on to focus on other paths. For the first few weeks (and sometimes months) beyond a major nexus, a fragment can feel a great sense of progress and confidence, until new layers of decisions begin to be build, leading to new potentials that will then lead to pivotal choices, leading to more convergences or divergences of realities. [alomarsmom] You have told us that the odds were against Bush completing his term, can you update those odds. Also likely causes for the early ending? [Michael Entity] Our perception remains the same: that a higher percentage of probabilities still has this fragment not completing his term. This is not a prediction, it is simply a standing potential that has a great amount of emphasis. Rising in probability is the extension of the term in an unprecedented way, leading to that extension being the context of his fall; and alongside all of the probabilities there is the possibility of simply completing his term, but with some major “exit” as his means of ending that term. The highest probability for his term ending prematurely still stands as assassination, but charges of crimes against humanity close behind that. [carrotwax] There are a lot of us that were involved in the Alexandrian mystery school. Could Michael bring back an exercise or lesson from that time that would likely be beneficial for the group to remember and practice now? [Michael Entity] Although we cannot possibly answer for all who were involved, we have found a consistent thrill and sense of vague confusion as to why one would be so intrigued by this experience, but many of you relished in the breaking of glass as a practice in purging. The sound of glass shattering, especially in response to one's own actions, is a slightly disturbing delight. The actual practice from the time you refer to as the “Alexandrian Mystery School” was one that involved imbuing glass objects with whatever was thought to need to be purged and then smashing this glass in a special room that enhanced the experience even further. This would be particularly beneficial to many of you who who live in a personal world that is created as so fragile and contained to the point of making as little an imprint as possible around you, all the while craving to leave a great impact in some way. This dichotomy within can be bridged by the shattering-glass exercise. [Lightspring] Could you suggest exercises or information that would aid with the ability to let go of expectation(s)? [Michael Entity] Yes: to allow yourself the freedom of expectations. This is the only means you have for learning to navigate your expectations. To “let go” of expectation is about as useful as giving up your legs; yes, it can be done, but mobility is not enhanced by doing so. Embracing your expectations is to embrace your inner map. However, the expectations that are often felt to be so compelling are simply not the truth of that inner map. To allow the embrace of those expectations can often then reveal the truth of this, and allow for more appropriate desires to lead the way. Expectation is neutral. Your ability to use the tool of expectation is a spectrum. There is a negative form of expectation and a positive form. To expect that the sun will rise can be seen to be quite natural. To expect a loved one to conform to your ideals is quite another end of the spectrum. In this case, it could then be said that TRUST is the positive pole of Expectation and DEMAND is the negative pole. To demand that the sun rise as you will it in the middle of the night is as fruitless as forcing upon another your ideals. To trust that your loved one can find his or her own path of expression and truth despite your ideals is as beautiful an expectation as one that allows the sun to rise on its own. If there is pain involved in your experience of expectation, it is quite likely that it is in the realm of DEMANDS. In this case, one must do the work of exploring WHY one would have such demands and then allow room for a shift of attention. In most cases of DEMAND, or painful expectation, one is in a self-karmic cycle of punishment, either upon the self or upon another. There is a perpetual investment in the Demand until there is vindication. To understand that this is a cycle of punishment will often allow room for the true inner map to be found and a new peaceful navigation to be found. To understand that this is a cycle of punishment is to surrender to the truth that “you will never be right.” When Expectations are painful, when they are DEMANDS, you can never be right. You can only impose your will, if that, but you will never be right. To grasp the reality that there may be more to you than being right can be a disturbing buoy to free oneself from. But there is so much more to you. Demands lead to unfulfilled expectations, which is a root of anger, which is a form of punishment. It is quite obvious to most of you as to where you are Demanding and where you are Trusting. Free yourselves to navigate more gently, softly, and you will find your expectations have clues, motivations, and magnetism within them that are a part of your true inner map. NOTE: We use the statement “you will never be right” as it relates to this particular experience, not as an implication that there is actually a wrong or right. [H2OSprtlvr] It is very exciting that scientist found another planet similar to earth in another solar system. Are there fragments on this new found planet similar to us and do they know about our planet? [Michael Entity] Not yet. There are no sentient inhabitants as of this time that we can see, but there does appear to be plans for populations. Good night to all of you. We will conclude here.

ENERGY REPORT AUGUST 2010 As July shifts into August, an interesting, pivotal window is in place for many who have been examining their perspectives and philosophies about "what is possible" in terms of original intentions vs current assessments. It could be said this pivotal window is the meeting ground between the tangible and intangible, or a realization or breakthrough of sorts that would allow for focus on fully implementing ideas. This kind of pivotal window is known as a Nexus in our teachings. A Nexus is a crossroads of various versions of reality on literal levels known as "parallel realities," but also on symbolic levels that could be seen as various philosophical interpretations of reality. At these crossroads the realities either Converge, or Diverge. A Nexus can happen on Personal, Community, and Global levels, and in this particular report we speak of a Global Level. When a Nexus is experienced Globally, it usually means there is some kind of representation in the media that has the world's eyes, so to speak, focused on it. In this case, there is quite a bit of focus on the British Petroleum Oil Geyser, and the management of that event. When a Convergence happens, there is a kind of cohesiveness and wholeness that comes during that shift, interlacing various perspectives, interpretations, and stances about reality into one. This happens on a literal, Quantum level, but can also be seen as a symbolic Convergence of shared attitudes. When a Divergence happens, there is a kind of fragmenting and division that comes during that shift, delineating and clarifying the more incompatible versions of reality so that they can go on in separate directions to be explored. Again, this happens on a literal, Quantum level, but can also be seen as symbolic. A Convergence or a Divergence, both, tend to have a theme about which the merging or diverging happens. In looking at the upcoming shift occurring between the 27th and the 30th of July, we had anticipated a Convergence, a merging of realities that might feel as if they have come back together in a way that might translate into feeling "back on track," bringing a sense of focus, direction, and solid footing to most of our students. However, in the weeks since we have looked at this, we now see that while this is still technically a Nexus we would call a "Convergence," it does appear that a kind of conclusive Divergence is involved. In other words, rather than a branching out of parallels, some will simply end. In this case, it appears that this Nexus will focus on a profound awareness of what needs to be stripped from your investments you may have been inclined to hang on to as a form of false security, rather than as a form of possibility. In general, what can be stripped away would be those perceptions and efforts in your reality that represent your loss of creativity, your disheartened paths, your sense that nothing matters, and your general jadedness. This Nexus is a kind of rejuvenation of your Overleaves in a way that might be said to bring an exciting re-emphasis on a sense of risk, awe, and inspiration to the Personality. To fully embrace this, and to fully experience the merging of inner perspectives and realities that represent your willingness and want to get back on track, it would require that a realization take place. This realization would be about the recognition of what you have done to anchor yourself to old, outdated reasons for Not Doing, Not Being, Not Having. Those old, outdated ideas are up for conclusive release (again) during this Nexus. When there are parallel versions of reality that will come to an end, some may experience a low-grade, or even an obvious, agitation and anxiousness over the few weeks prior to the shift. It appears that many of our students may have been experiencing this over these past weeks. This might have felt like a strange mix of forcing oneself to be present for the demands of life around you while also feeling terribly disconnected from the moment. Some have reported this as being like an anticipation of hopeful possibilities, but while having no control over immediate focus; a feeling of short-circuiting, but continuing onward. This is because there was a partitioning happening during those weeks as you almost-literally moved "what you wish to release" over to "one side of you," and "what you wish to keep" has been moved to the "another side" of you. We would suggest that this not be taken literally, of course, but the description is quite apt for the kind of subtle division that some may have felt within. Another way to understand the past few weeks might be that a kind of defragmentation has occurred, moving blocks of energy around within you in ways that, when defragmenting is complete, will allow the body and Personality to function even more effectively. With a realization that one must truly END the possibilities (parallels) tied up in energies anchored to false securities, disheartening disappointments, and jadedness, as a means to make room and focus for new possibilities and updated potentials, then the Nexus might be experienced as both a freeing and a dying. Some may find themselves particularly emotional or sporadic over those dates, while others may slip easily into a sense of solid confidence. However it is experienced, most of our students might find that there is a definitive shift in awareness toward what is inspiring and possible, rather than toward what is disappointing and distracting. Because this is a shift that includes the ending of realities on such a mass scale, we would not be surprised if this is represented by a pocket of population exiting in a noticeable quantity, particularly those who simply cannot fathom possibility beyond the outdated anchors that have left life with little sense of potential. This is not to say that all who die within that time frame did so because of such an assessment, but that it is worth examining for validation if a large number exit. This wave of exiting appears to be, in part, because "reality" is suddenly, surprisingly leaning toward potential and possibility, and those who cannot or will not contribute to that will find their own versions of life that will remove them from the momentum of collective creation, or simply opt out altogether for now. And to expand upon this, we do not mean that some "utopian" future is now in alignment; we simply mean what we say: the emphasis is turning toward possibility, rather than overwhelm. With all of this being said, we can say that August might be a month tentative with experimentation, cautious anticipation, and some focus on the tangible elements that give the Personality a sense that its desires are possible. It would be a gentle, sensitive step forward into what has been sensed as exciting and inspiring, while keeping the Personality feeling safe and present. To help Personality and Body to feel safe and present over August, we think it would be helpful to bring more awareness to the process of bathing, swimming, or any activity that submerges the body, or parts of the body, in water. Even in the process of washing hands, bringing an awareness to that moment can help. What we mean by bringing an awareness to the moment is to simply know that you are doing what you are doing. Feel the water, know the intentions of the moment, and acknowledge the benefit for the body in some way, such as in the pleasure, the relief, the satisfaction. While taking a shower, give special attention to your skin, to the soap that moves across your body, to the scents involved, to the temperature, etc. This practice may seem unrelated to any larger patterns, but they are directly related. The more one includes his or her body in moments when nurturing is in effect, the more present and alive the body will be when your attention is elsewhere. Many of you carry your body around as if it is, at best, an inconvenience, and at worst, your enemy. Bringing active cohesion between your Personality and Body helps to bring cohesion between you and your life, your soul, and your higher patterns of intent. Helpful thoughts over August might be: 1) IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START (AGAIN.) 2) I AM HERE, NOW. We realize these may sound cliche, but those phrases might be helpful for bringing one back to the present so that one can feel safe and full of potential. Those phrase might help to remind you that you do not have to be fragmented and distributed through Time to such an extent that you feel that what you Do, Feel, or Have is moot. Those things are far from moot. August does not have any particular dates of concern, but we will remind you that KEY DATES over JULY are July 27-30 as a Nexus that is a Convergence focuses on Breakthroughs, Solutions, and implementing long-term plans related to those breakthroughs. It is a Nexus that essentially focuses on "Keep Trying until you feel you are Doing, Being, Having as you intended."

July 1, 1999 Troy Tolley, Channel Platforms and Parallels [Michael_Entity] We are here. One moment. We will delve into the Energy “forecast” first, then move into general discussions if there is time. We want to first point out that the past 12 days and the next 5 to 7 days is a pivotal window for realigning fragments that are in your space, your circle of support. This seems to be an adjustment period for “keeping” what is wanted, and “releasing” what is not, on an Essence Level AND Personality level before the Community Parallel Shift on the 19th. This means that work, people, and most of what is taking your attention has come under high scrutiny to determine what is ‘superficial’ and what might be termed your “True Potential”, or your future in more mundane terms. This evaluation happens in more obvious ways when the Parallel shifts take place in wider circles than just the Individual levels. The individual parallel shifts occur and primarily change your perceptions of self; the Community Shifts occur and change perceptions of self in relation to environment. Global Shifts occur and change sentience in relation to itself/Tao. We will discuss more about the Global Shifts as they occur, the next being in December of this year. This next shift, occurring in the Community Level, will primarily affect you and those with which you share Agreements or Karma for external work. All who are within the circle of support you have identified (by your terms, not necessarily ours) will be moving as a “group” through this shift. This is why it seems that some things are collapsing irrevocably while other things are opening as opportunities. Most things will just seem more a blur for now. Things and people who will not be moving with you will simply move along other creative paths, while those things and people who are highlighted as your “future” will remain or be added/merged. Before we continue, are there any questions about the nature of Parallels and shifts? [bn] I’m not sure what you mean by Parallels… [Michael_Entity] We will define: As Essence creates a life, it does not want to be limited in any way nor does it want to eliminate its creation, the Personality. The Tao has set up a convenient method for accommodating this. As the life unfolds, there are points in which Essence and Personality agree and do not agree, or where the creativity of the Personality is considered a benefit to the knowledge of Essence, or where Personality rejects Essence outright. In addition to these variables there is also the “original plan” that must be fulfilled by Essence in some way. To handle these fluctuations and creativity, “parallel realities” are created to allow all versions of the life to be fulfilled. ALL ideas of Essence and Personality are explored IN SOME WAY. Parallel realities are simply different levels of frequency within the same space. [bn] So, a parallel shift refers to the idea that the energies will be shifting in all parallel existences? [Michael_Entity] ALL decisions made add to the bank of possibilities as the Personality experiences a life and ALL major choices create a “spin off” reality to accommodate “both” (or more) choices. No choice is left behind. This all being said, a Parallel Shift is when a DIVERGENCE or a CONVERGENCE is happening between 2 or more parallels. [G5] Ah, so my neighbor can experience the end of the world, and I can live on in peaceful solitude in a different parallel? [Michael_Entity] A DIVERGENCE is the “spinning off” of a reality, while a CONVERGENCE is the “merging” of realities that have become so similar there is no longer a need to sustain “both” (or more). [la] Which one is happening on the 19th? [Michael_Entity] In answer to the question about the neighbor scenario, it is doubtful you would even share a reality with someone who would choose this experience if you were not included. The 19th is the primary window, though the shift will last from the 17th through the 29th. It does not occur “simultaneously” for everyone involved. Both forms of shifting are occurring for all. Usually it is one or the other, but this year has proven to be a particularly exciting year for Essence and the prospects for the new millennium are high. [A2] Can one access these different frequencies or parallels from one's own consciousness at any time? [Michael_Entity] Yes, in fact you do. There are “bleed throughs” at many points in your days. This is where many of you turn for more creativity and ideas, where many of you turn for exploring probable futures (as in ‘what should I do next?”). In some parallel you may have already explored a similar path, therefore you access it for input. “Déjà Vu” can be result of this exploration. For a more practical and conscious use, accessing parallels can be a tool for creating variations in your “present parallel” by drawing from experiences that have already become a part of your Essence in another parallel. For instance, you may be interested in “creating more space”, as in a new home or location. You can easily “look in” on a parallel simply by imagining what that “version” of you is doing in THAT parallel with THAT experience you are seeking “here”. Through visualization, observe a simple idiosyncrasy in you that is from that parallel. Something that you DO NOT do already, such as the way “you” wear “your” hair in that reality, or where you place your keys when you return home, or what activities you enjoy, etc. something easily accessible. This will create a bleedthrough, opening up flows of energy from the already-established creation in the other parallel, for manifestation in “your” present parallel. More on this later, if asked. The use of the imagination for this exercise, by the way, may prove uncomfortable as you seem to be fantasizing. We remind you though that your imagination is the highest frequency you own as a human and its benefits and capabilities are too easily dismissed as fanciful when in fact Imagination is one of your primary sources of power as Personality. [Le] Does the upcoming shift give us an opportunity to move into another reality then? [Michael_Entity] Yes,… this does not mean it will suddenly be unfamiliar, but that a new set of parameters for you and your circles of support will unfold. For some this will be drastic, for others, gradual. For all, it will be chaotic and beautiful. What you will see are new things coming in and old things leaving within a very short period of time and a new focus and level of intention is felt. For all of you here, this shift seems to be centered on “your self as resources”. We have mentioned throughout this year that your “niches” will be more conscious, more resolved and clarified. This is just another step. We want to make it clear that these shifts are not unusual. You have passed through many within your lifetime. [Jn] Will there be paranormal (and/or physical) phenomena during the shifts? [Michael_Entity] That will depend on your particular circle of support and your perceptions as Personality. Some of you may certainly “see” some strange occurrences. It is true that this time period is a time of a heightened “psychic sensitivity”, but even more emotional sensitivity. ALL that you are (as Personality, as Sub-Personality, as Essence) comes into alignment for a short while, allowing choices to be made with some amount of clarity of intention for the next 6 months or so. The alignment is “local” to “your” parallel and relative to your sense of Essence presently. This allows all levels to evaluate, create, and apply energy for the life. This can tend to open you to wonderful or frightening visions and experiences. In terms of physical phenomenon, you may notice things that “were not there” before seeming to appear from nowhere. Other experiences may find something previously familiar, gone, such as streets and buildings and landmarks. This is usually dismissed as confusion since the transition is so smooth, but for those who are more awake to this experience of shifting, you can experiment with trusting and validating that, in fact, some physical cosmetics of your environment have shifted too. This is especially true when it is a Global Shift. [S1] Physical Cosmetics have shifted too? In countries or states? [Michael_Entity] In realities. We do not mean a continent will appear or disappear (although this has occurred too), but the details environments do certainly shift. This is due to the “merging” of realities. Though MOST of two (or more) realities have become or remained identical while parallel and separate, certain details are not identical. When the realities merge, certain details submerge while others emerge. This means the paint on the house down the street that used to be white, now has a purple tinge, or that your PIN # may be one digit off even after years of use as the number you “remember”. These things do not disrupt the flow of the merging and for the most part are not even noticed with any significance. The older the soul, the more these become natural to see. As you learn to identify these, it can be amusing for the Essence and Personality. [Le] Will this shift create any new power centers, particularly on the East Coast of the U.S.? [Michael_Entity] They will not necessarily be “new”, but there is more potential for some to become more emphasized than others. “New” centers do occur in Global Shifts many times, but not usually in Community Shifts or Individual Shifts. [Le] Which centers may become more emphasized? [Michael_Entity] Through our perceptions, the drop from emphasis in the Southeast could soon shift to more emphasis and become more manageable and external, rather than internal and contemplative as it has been for the past several years. Some potential storms this year could bring that shift. These shifts will be felt more locally than be seen in larger terms, at least for now. When we say “Southeast” we are referring to the Carolinas, primarily. There is also something potential in the extreme Northeast, maybe in Maine. We can be more accurate after the shift. [la] We’re going to Greece on the 19th and wonder what implications there are for me & John with the shifts, etc. [Michael_Entity] The effects of your shift will be seen more softly and without the edge that some might experience. This trip allows you to be focused in a way that Personality won’t find so stressful. This will also give you the ability to “bring back” to your environment some physical items that seem to be important for your shift. This means these items carry energy conducive for your shift and will facilitate it. We trust you will find what Essence guides you to find. This does not mean there may not be turbulence for you as you go through your shift, but that there might have been more if you were not in a different physical space when it occurred. [bn] How will the new platforms be affected due to the shifting? [Michael_Entity] Actually the major shift in platforms is the initiator of the Shifts this year and have created the unusually frenetic quality. It is more that the Platforms are affecting your Parallels. The platforms, after being settled upon, become your clarifying factor. Your parallel creations will more likely be shaped around various manifestations of your Platforms. In fact, your Platforms are the only constant throughout all parallels, at least in terms of choice. [Le] Has everyone here selected new ones? [Michael_Entity] Yes, of course.

February 25, 1999 Troy Tolley, Channel Parallels Note from Janet: This was a very early session and there is editing done by an unknown person to fill in gaps, which either occurred as part of the channeling or as part of transfer to a transcript. [Michael_Entity] Ok… Hello to all of you… What we'll do is start with the “weather forecast” as usual, reviewing a little on what might have happened for some of you over the past few weeks, then address the next few [weeks]. Again, for purposes of our introduction to this electronic medium in this fashion through this channel, we will remain open for questions, personal or otherwise, at the end. No topics, necessarily. We spoke last about your own futures being examined in terms of how you and Essence would like to show up, express yourselves, in the coming year. This is due, in part, to the natural energies of this year, as well as the fact that each of you will be “spinning off” aspects of yourselves for various purposes. What we saw as most indicative for you in this examination period, in terms of how you might be handling this, is through the “reflections” of your EXTERNAL environment. This period of time in your environment's reflection has become almost harshly “realistic”; nothing spared. We also mentioned to be on the lookout for Animals and Specifically Categorized Individuals (mentally, physically challenged, or those apparently “rejected” on the outskirts of your societies) as being highlighted symbolically. Some of you may have seen clear indications, while others simply noted, then moved on. Depending on your involvement with the SYMBOLS, either in dreams or in a situation in which you have been drawn, you may or may not be having a “serious” fluctuation of future probabilities. Here are the indications that your symbols were meaningful: 1. That it appeared, drawing your attention, surprisingly. 2. That it “stayed” with you, even if only for the day, but at least an extended time. It is that simple. There is one more indication of what your INDIVIDUAL shifts will be focusing on in the weeks ahead: Some of you are in a specific crisis. A personal crisis [seeming] to be a [repetitive or all-too-familiar] pattern. This, we would say, is the third SYMBOL for this transition ahead. Each carries meaning. Those who have had animals show up: You are moving toward more EARTH and ACTION-ORIENTED service in the year ahead, being very drawn out into the world. The way you have interacted with the Animal, or how it called your attention, lends you insight into how you will interact in the world as you, yourselves, are “called out” into [the world]. For those who saw or will see a preponderance of specifically categorized people, or challenged people: You will most likely be dealing with INNER CIRCLE service, taking care of interpersonal relationships, healing or tending to those closest to you. For those dealing with an extenuating circumstance, or Crisis, as a pattern: You are in the process of “upgrading” your beliefs. There will be “no room” in the months ahead for many of you to be distracted with “outdated” patterns. You are dealing with it either in one massive blow, or you will simply leave it for another lifetime. Now, beginning March 1, approximately, you all will enter this transitional phase, or NEXUS of Parallels. Each will enter at various points [in time], but the PAST few weeks, and actually most of the beginning of this year and the end of last year, you were doing the “research.” This NEXUS is where you begin to condense and manifest EXACTLY what Essence and Personality are striving to experience in the year ahead. There will be many “versions” of you “out there.” There is no need to be concerned with “how” this is, unless you choose to study the Physics of your Universe. The “YOU” you are most concerned with is the “one” you appear to be at any given moment. Now, before more details, if any, we will take questions in regard to this. We will add, briefly, that if [more than one] symbol shows up for you, it is simply an indication of your being involved [in each of these levels]. [IK] Can you suggest effective ways for moving through this nexus? [Michael_Entity] We just did. [IK] More specifically then? [Michael_Entity] Yes, but this would require a questioning of the specific symbol and its relation to you, your reaction/response to it, and our interpretation of that. What each of you can do is sit down with your symbols, if any, and examine what they may mean symbolically to you, what your reaction indicates (fearful, excited, exasperated, etc.), and what this all might mean to you personally. For example: Assuming an animal has shown up in your dream, you may interpret the animal personally, or look it up in an animal totem book, then add your actions/interactions/reactions/responses to the picture and make a story. AFTER there is clarity (and even if no clarity sets in), the actual NEXUS phase will find your “new” environment beginning to truly feel more “REAL” and needing to be “reckoned” with. It would be best to allow all EXTERNAL calls to your attention be taken seriously in the weeks ahead, as this is where your Work is. There is really no more that we can say without a detailed exploration of each of you. [ha] Why would it become desirable to “spin off” aspects of self, i.e., I'm in process of re-integrating spin-offs, why would it be beneficial to spin off more? [Michael_Entity] It would depend on your definitions of “Spin-offs”. Assuming [your definition is] the same, it will always be the case in any given lifetime that aspects of your Personality “spin off” into realities of their own. This is simply because Essence wants to not only experience EVERYTHING it intended (your TRUNK REALITY), but also all of the creative input from Personality. When you speak of integrating these Parallels [“spin-offs”], this may easily mean that other aspects of Personality [are moving] on, [being replaced]. Let us clarify something: Each Personality is composed of what we refer to as SUB-PERSONALITIES, aspects of “you” that make up who you are in various situations. Parallel Selves are aspects of ESSENCE, virtual “sub-personalities” of the Essence. We realize this can be mind-boggling, but we assure you, you are not required to grasp this. That is what Essence does. You, as Personality, have only the life to contend with, not the creation of the Universal Schemes. Many of you will be bringing in aspects/parallels that have been off in their “own” realities for a while, and now are merging with “this one”, but we will discuss that at a later date. [ha] So when you mentioned at the beginning that we may be spinning off aspects of self, did this mean sub-personalities of self, or essence's sub-personalities? Also, if it is sub-personalities of self, where do those spin-offs go and what do they do? [Michael_Entity] We were referring to Essence “sub-personalities”. Sub-personalities of Self stay with you, present, and are called to the “surface” for your various situations. Multiple Personalities and Schizophrenia are the results of breakdown and non-communication between these sub-personalities, by the way. When you ask, “where do they go?,” the same similar event occurs on an Essence level: YOU and ESSENCE exist within the SAME SPACE. ALL the parallels exist within the same space, but “you” are at a different “frequency” for Essence. An easy way to visualize this: Imagine Parallels as being a conglomeration of colors on a single surface. THIS is how Essence “sees” it all at once, but when this conglomeration of color is [seen] through, for example, a BLUE lens, different colors are highlighted and others diminished. The SAME palette is there, but the FOCUS creates a different “dimension.” Other “lenses” would create similar results. “YOU” are a specific focus within the conglomeration of all the Parallels. This is a grand topic. [fg] M said, “Parallel Selves are aspects of ESSENCE; virtual sub-personalities of the Essence.” What do you mean by virtual? [Michael_Entity] That was a convenience of speech. We choose our words carefully in many ways and this, we felt, carried the best impact as these “selves” are not easily verifiable. But it is only from the perspective of one self that these [other selves] would appear “virtual”. Did this answer your question? [fg] Yes, thanks. [Michael_Entity] We will continue if there are questions. [M6] Last week here at this time we had an interesting energy connection and conversation, though we weren't able to have the planned Michael channeling. Could you explain the connections and processes we were experiencing together? There was some channeling going on. [Michael_Entity] Your “connections and process” were exactly that. There are some of you with whom we have Agreements as Students, some as Channels. We have one Channel [that was present] we are working with and those with whom she has Agreements will find this format rewarding and experientially fulfilling. It appears you were a part of that process. Certain [fragments] will need to be connected with our Channel as we work through. Familiarity breeds success. It may be validating to know we were essentially present. [ha] It seems that I have an instigating personality. Lately, wherever I go, I seem to stir up discussions and connections. Is this part of my life-task? [Michael_Entity] You are this way in all of your lives in various forms. It is a favorite theme. You are not one to easily be appeased with pointlessness and dismissiveness. In this life, you have chosen Overleaves that keep that from happening, for the most part, and yes, it would have a part in your Life Task. [s5] When the libraries were burned at Alexandria, I am assuming much knowledge was destroyed. Can you tell us what some of that knowledge was? Have we as a culture rediscovered all, or is there something yet to reemerge? [Michael_Entity] To elaborate on what was lost would require a different forum, and we can address this in full, more elaborately, when more time is available. We will say, however, that most of that knowledge would be difficult to gather, except through channeling or other psychic endeavors. Even then, it is not guaranteed to be accurate. There are a few elements surfacing after the turn of the century that are material. [km] I am having much conflict with those I work with. I feel that it is positive, that I'm learning to “stand up for myself”. Then again, I may be acting from negative poles. Can you comment? [Michael_Entity] You are, indeed, reacting and expressing through the Negative Poles, but only as a path toward the Positive Poles. Your task in this situation is to RESPOND, rather than REACT. It is true that those involved are difficult in many ways, primarily due to abrasive Overleaves, but this is only highlighted as you explore your Self-Karma, centering around your own historic belief that you must “do the right thing.” It angers you to feel “pushed” past what you feel is “right.” This is merely a maturation process and indicates you are moving toward realization of internal security. There is much more to this, but this is start. [s0] It has been suggested that I write a book about my life, is this part of my life task? [Michael_Entity] It would be one way to express it, yes. There is no SPECIFIC route with which a LIFE TASK must be manifested. In fact, what is mostly misunderstood about a Life Task is that you SEEK it, or PURSUE it. In reality, you already DO it. It comes naturally. Incidentally, you are, in fact, in Agreement with several thousand Essences for a book. [fg] Are sound (physical or not) and material form connected? I.e. “in the beginning was the Word…” [Michael_Entity] Yes, Light, and indeed all of Physical Reality, is the result of Music and Math. All can be translated into these forms. This Universe is built on Music and Math, and your Physical Structures are based on Circles and Triangles. There are connections and cross references all through these terms. Another Grand Topic. [a5] How can one draw the wisdom, help, of cycled off (disincarnate) entity mates? I've heard they are around to assist. True? [Michael_Entity] Yes, of course they are available. It is one of the easiest of all connections to call on. What makes it difficult is that most of the “wisdom” feels like “you.” Trusting your impulses, [inner] voices, magnetism; these are messages from Entity Mates who are in some way working with you. If you choose to give them a voice, as we have for ourselves through our channels, it would require a different approach, but the wisdom is available simply by asking. [km] What would be an important use of brainwave “EEG” technology? [Michael_Entity] We have no investments on the paths chosen to use this tool and we see it simply as a picture tool, a map. It may be used in whatever capacity a fragment or group may choose. There are many ways this can be applied. We will now comment that many of you have topics right here that may be of interest to you. We are aware this format is limited in our ability to respond adequately. If you would like any of these elaborated upon for your next gathering, simply ask or suggest your interest. We will move more quickly into a Topic in the future. Good Night.

Michael Speaks First Quarter Energy Report February 26, 2012 Channel: Troy Tolley [Note: Title was changed to reflect the content that actually came through versus the original intention.] [MEntity] We understand there is a topic of choice for today, but given the condition of our channel, we may break this up into more interactivity, so that shorter bursts of delivery can be made, instead of one, long delivery. We will begin with some amount of expounding on the topic so as to lend context. [MEntity] As this context is clarified, we suggest preparing your questions, or directions of interest, as "the floor will open" sooner than usual. [MEntity] The "State of the Planet," at this time is struggling between the effects of the shift from emphasis on Flow and the shift into Growth. [MEntity] January through March emphasizes the Goal of a given year, and there may be seen some fairly obvious "growing pains" happening around you. [MEntity] Growth is the aim for actions to have meaning, so that your Doing evolves you, hence the Positive Pole of Evolution. [MEntity] We specify "action" here because all Goals are action-based. They always, regardless of Axis, refer to what you DO. [MEntity] In this case, how Action manifests in Exalted Inspiration. [MEntity] Or to translate into more useful terms: how choices and actions generate, find, or attract Meaning. [MEntity] Last year, the emphasis was on knowing how to surrender to forces larger than your life, so that you could Flow, trust, and allow yourself to move with the currents, rather than against them. [MEntity] To suddenly have the reigns back in your hands, so to speak, through Growth, can be disconcerting. [MEntity] Contributing to this, any shift from one emphasis to another will always "enter" through the Negative Pole of whatever is symbolic or literal of that shift, so that the shift into Growth means that it will be "entered" [MEntity] So if any of you have experienced this disconcerting, "confusing," shift of emphasis in the collective Goal, it is normal. [MEntity] As March unfolds, most will have found their rhythm of Growth, and may begin to steady themselves in directions and actions that begin to mean something. [MEntity] March, then, may be marked by a sense of "being awake," instead of "waking up." [MEntity] As we described January as being akin to "Okay, Where was I?" and February as being "Oh, There I am," March may be described as, "Okay, Here we go." [MEntity] The pattern and momentum of fulfilling that pattern (the Goal) of any year tends to be "set" by the end of March. [MEntity] March would do well to be used for being as clear as possible about your intentions, your motivations, your vision for the year ahead. [MEntity] An undercurrent for the year that all may find irritatingly woven into events, relationships, and experiences is the effects of Impatience and Martyrdom. [MEntity] When one year ends, and a new begins, the Chief Negative Features for a year will tend to drop away at the beginning of a year so that new energy is unleashed to set a momentum, but when one year's energy is the same as one before, that tends to carry over. [MEntity] Not only in consistency, but in a rise of strength and "solidity." [MEntity] This means, that there has been no break from the general sense of Impatience and Martyrdom that pervades humanity right now. [MEntity] Impatience and Martyrdom are Action-based, so a lot of this is going to be felt in Bodies, and be rather tangible. [MEntity] Agitation, anxiety, frustration, intolerance, victimization, sensitive defensiveness, etc. All "felt" in the body in a way that is difficult to override. [MEntity] As these particular Chief Negative Features are Action-based, and because they are inherently in place for the purpose of protection, they are RE-actionary. [MEntity] This is important to understand because the efforts to photograph these reactions is an exercise in consciousness down to your very pores. [MEntity] Literally. [MEntity] Because Impatience and Martyrdom do not leave the body out. [MEntity] You cannot simply halt your thinking, or soothe your emotions. You must consciously slow your actions, calm your heartbeat, alter your breathing. [MEntity] Otherwise, you will have reacted long before your thoughts and feelings catch up to you. [MEntity] This is going to be an obstacle over the entire year. For many. [MEntity] The grapple for control, which is at the core of both Impatience and Martyrdom, is going to, most likely, play out in intimate and grand ways over 2012. [MEntity] The very real elements of this appear to begin being more obvious after March. [MEntity] At least, in terms of global manifestation. [MEntity] For our Older Soul students, this has become fairly clear in intimate ways already. [MEntity] Even your most-beloved have probably "irritated the hell" out of you already. [MEntity] So to combine what we have shared so far: 2012 is an exploration of how actions and choices generate meaning or confusion, and in that process is going to intertwine quite heavily with issues and obstacles that stem from the fear of losing control. [MEntity] For our students, we would suggest that your mantra over 2012, when you feel things, relationships, or yourself reactionary and out of control, is simply: STOP. [MEntity] STOP IT. [MEntity] Everything must halt in those instance, even if only briefly. [MEntity] That instance can be the equivalent of a lifetime, in terms of bringing consciousness back to the moment, so that you rise above reaction and fear [MEntity] Our helpful phrases are not chosen simply to "be cute," so the "Ok, where was I?" "Oh, there I am." and "Okay, Here we go." are all a part of the triad for your STOP. [MEntity] Returning yourself back over to meaningful action is far more effective and preferred, by most, to randomly flailing in ineffective defense. [MEntity] This is an interesting and pivotal year in terms of global scales, as the initiation of the Mature Soul shift had occured in 1987, so that the scale began tipping toward the Mature Soul Paradigm, but if the patterns continue over 2012, then this would be the final year that the Young Paradigm is in favor. [MEntity] We doubt it will go quietly. [MEntity] Rather than walk through various contexts to describe a "State of the Planet," we think that sharing these insights will help our students far more directly. From here, we will now respond to questions. [LA] for those of us who have these Cf's already woven into our being, it's been really hard on me, is there any other ways to bring us back to consciousness in a snap? who do I say Stop it to, me? them? my body? I've been feeling I want to jump right out of my skin. [MEntity] For those who live with Impatience and/or Martyrdom, your year will not be made more complicated by the energy of the year, but you may find that you see your own behaviors reflected more from those around you, or in the world, and this can be rather overwhelming. [MEntity] In other words, you finally feel your own sense of control over your time and space, and now, suddenly, everyone else is losing control: It can feel like "back to square one." [MEntity] So our first suggestion, particularly for the context of they year 2012, is that you need only worry about you, and what you can control. There is no need to worry about controlling anyone else, nor their choices, directions, actions, etc. [MEntity] If those choices and actions directly affect you, it would still return to a matter of your own control, not about how to control someone else. [MEntity] In short, first steps are to clarify what you can control. [LA] ok-I do get it. Long hard road for me [MEntity] The rest must, regardless of how horrifying, terrifying, and painful it can be, must be allowed. [MEntity] For instance, you may not be able to control a hurricane, no matter how much you would wish for that hurricane not to hit your town; you can only react or respond to it. You cannot stop it. This is not the same thing as condoning it, nor the same thing as wanting it. It simply is, and it must be dealt with. [MEntity] Reaction might have you flailing about in terror, screaming into the wind, and throwing rocks at the rain. [MEntity] This might feel good in the moment, and feel effective, but when that branch flies through the window, it will probably become clearer just how ineffective those tactics are. [LA] I can deal with a hurricane better than I can deal with people. ;-) [MEntity] However, responding by taking cover, having resources, and adjusting to the fact that you may be dealing with consequences that are beyond your control, can help you to stay centered, calm, clear, and effective. [MEntity] This does not make the hurricane more fun. It just makes you more effective, calm, centered, and in control -- of what you CAN control. [MEntity] People are hurricanes, and hurricanes are people, when it comes to what can and cannot be controlled. They are all forces that are not capable of being controlled. [MEntity] Even when control is in place on a people, it cannot fully control them, nor can it remain in place for very long, relatively speaking, unless one is imposing Karma. [MEntity] Even when control is in place on a people, it cannot fully control them, nor can it remain in place for very long, relatively speaking, unless one is imposing Karma. [LA] I am only in control of myself. Now there is a good mantra for me. [MEntity] Not really. [MEntity] You must also allow for the fact that you are not always in control of yourself, either. [MEntity] You are a mixture of forces, and not all of them can be controlled all of the time. [MEntity] Embracing your storms, responding to those, rather than trying to control them or react to them, is just as important as embracing the necessary choices that are effective in a hurricane. [MEntity] In fact, we would suggest that this remain your playful visual for your work in transforming the moment from fear and back to wholeness. [MEntity] Allow room for storms. Respond to them when they arise. They always pass. [MEntity] Always. [BA] I don't have a question as much as I have an observation. A lot of what I've seen as far as this shift is likened to observing a bunch of people who are watching a movie that they already know the ending to but yet they stand up and scream, shout, stomp their feet, and throw things at the screen anyway during certain parts of the movie because they don't like what is happening at the moment. Some of this may already have been addressed in your previous answer but if you have any other comments to this observation it will be helpful. [MEntity] It makes sense that when one decides to see a film that part of the agreement is to invest in it, and when that investment pays off, the results are absolutely rewarding through all that the film provokes, and the world falls away for that film for a while. And if it is really good, it stays with you for days, or for life. [MEntity] Sometimes, it is so good, one sees it again. Or over and over. The ending and every part is known, and yet it is worth the submersion and forgetting, over and over. [MEntity] Life is not much different from that, except the intention to invest is even more profound. [MEntity] For some, the design of Personality allows them to sit in the back of the theater and watch the rest of the audience, and this is no different from those who are submerged/invested in the film. [MEntity] Because then you also forget that they know they are okay. That they are safe. That they will leave the theater with you. That they are in on it. [MEntity] This is a rather sloppy metaphor, but it is fair: our point being that if you are in a body, you are invested and submerged somehow, in some area, and this may or may not reflect where the masses are. [MEntity] What one must do, if one chooses to do so, is to use whatever insight and awareness one has from his perspective to then add to the game, the dance, the movie of life. [BA] Stand up and shout "We're all gonna die?" [just kidding] LOL [MEntity] The choice is yours to remain sitting in the back of the theater and watching, or to throw Gummy Bears into their hair, or to shout "FIRE!" etc, but we can suggest that your perspective is yours because you have a part to play in humanity and whatever scenarios are unfolding. [MEntity] Everyone has a perspective that allows for contribution. [MEntity] Older Souls often convince themselves that they are done, out of the game, and retired from the mainstage of humanity. They are not. Or they would not remain incarnating. [MEntity] You are a part of the movie, if you will. [MEntity] Older Souls may have the consciousness that allows for them to rise above the various layers of consciousness that make up humanity, but it would always do the Old Soul well to remember that his perspective is gained, not for rising above everyone else, but for encompassing them. [MEntity] Your perspective, or your interpretation of what you see happening in the theater, or among humanity, is a hint at what you can contribute, offer, bring to the experience. [MEntity] If you feel everyone is too submerged and asleep, then stay awake for them. Hold that space for those who wake up. They may need you for orientation. [MEntity] You need not wake everyone up, but simply stay awake. [MEntity] If one feels there is a lot of stupidity around them, then stay smart, be smart, be the teacher for those who are interested in learning. [MEntity] If one feels there is a lot of misunderstanding and defensiveness around them, then offer understanding and defenselessness. [BA] Back to nurturing... I get it [MEntity] Most of what the Old Soul sees as problems around them are the very things they have available for contribution, either by example in their living, and choices, etc or by literally providing that as a service. [MEntity] It is up to you to decide what those contributions are, and how your contribute, if at all. [DB] You stated that March would be a good time to be as clear as possible about our intentions, motivations, and visions for the year ahead. Are there any nexuses occuring in March during which it will be especially critical to do so? Also, if there is time, why is March the set point for any given year? [MEntity] This year is "riddled" with Nexus. [MEntity] Nexus are a result, not the cause. [MEntity] So once a Nexus is in place, the causes are often long over. [MEntity] This is not to say that choice is no longer in effect, but that those choices are then within a context relevant to the momentum that brings the Nexus. [MEntity] In other words, it would be a misnomer to say that a Nexus is a point that is critical for anything. [MEntity] We share these pivotal points because, as Older Souls, some of you can find value in observing a process that is often seamless and difficult to validate. [MEntity] Most will only see the after-effects, if that. [MEntity] However, that being said, the clarity of intention and motivation that we suggested is relevent to the Nexus in that as one moves through it, rather than falling like a puck in "Plinko," one can navigate a Nexus to some degree. [MEntity] When one moves through a Nexus without awareness, it is not detrimental, and value can be found from however it "ends up," but when one moves through a Nexus consciously, with awareness, one can tend to retain or regain a wholeness, over the usual a fragmentation. [MEntity]: In March, the Nexus appears to be March 9th through the 11th. [MEntity] This appears to be a Convergence, and extension of the previous Nexus of this year, with an emphasis on continuing the integration of parallels that had branched from around 2005. [MEntity] The themes would be time-related, and how one experiences time, which means to us that this might bring a burst of perception that allows for expansion of one's processing of time, or a startling contraction, depending on what is merged. [Comment] Daylight Savings Time begins that weekend :) [MEntity] March tends to "set" the year as it is tends to be when the Goal of the year moves toward its potential in the Positive. To the degree that this has been reached by March, is often the degree to which it will remain for the rest of the year.

MICHAEL SPEAKS 091309 Open Floor [Michael Entity] Hello to each of you. We are here. We will begin with Martha's question. [QUESTION] I'm curious about how Essences organize concurrents these days, with so many, in terms of ETs, TCs, etc. Seems like a lot of threads to keep untangled, can't wrap my brain around it. It's not "normal" in human history to have so many concurrents as we do now, is that right? Confused and curious. [Michael Entity] The "how" of organizing Concurrents is no less complicated than trying to explain the patterns of branching in a tree that is part of a forest; what you see as PART of the tree is, in fact, what IS the TREE. By this we mean the organization and branching is not complicated to the Tree, nor is the branching out in time and space complicated to Essence. The leaf's understanding of how it can exist as itself among all of the leaves would always have to go back to the trunk, so to speak, and understand that its "individual" existence is PART of its entirety, not its entirety. And so it is with you, as Personality. You can only truly comprehend the vastness of yourself if you comprehend yourself as a FRAGMENT of who you are. It is not necessary for the individual leaf to comprehend the entirety of the Tree for itself to be "whole," and it is not necessary for the Personality to comprehend how Essence functions across and through time. For those Personalities who wish to explore this comprehension, it can be done. Most of that comprehension would come through analogy and metaphor, but it can be done. For instance, the whole of who you are as a Personality is a fragment of your entirety in the sense that you think of as "fragmented." Most of you can comprehend the reality that your body is not just skin, or just bone, or just a finger, or a hand, or foot, or a tongue, or a cell. Your body is that entirety, though each of those things exist as themselves, too. "You" have no problem bringing your attention to your fingertip right now, or to the weight of your tongue, or to the tension in your cheeks under your eyes, or to your ears as you hear the ambient sound around you, etc. No part of your body ceases to exist by focusing on any one part, and "you" do not cease to exist, nor are you less-"real," when Essence is focused on other "you's." There is an awesome order and structure to the universe and we are in the process of comprehending this on larger scales than even we suspected while living from the Physical Plane. To help you glimpse how your Essence manages all of the versions of itself, ponder how your body is whole, while being all of its parts, and then apply that to the larger patterns of your Essence's existence across time, through time, and among many bodies as parts of its wholeness. For the more metaphysically adventurous: in the same way you know your entity members as individuals with whom you resonate and love and find, so is the relationship between you and other you's within your Essence. Your entity members are ultimately the same as you: just other versions our Entity. Your cadre again is the same, and so on. All of us, are You. On a more intimate and personal scale, "you" can also grasp how your Essence manages itself among so many bodies, concurrent, simultaneous, and linear, by seeing how easily you manage yourself through time. You do not exist MORE because you exist today vs yesterday, and you do not exist LESS because you do not yet exist tomorrow. You do not exist LESS when you are physically in an office, while daydreaming about lunch. You do not exist MORE when you finally get to lunch. You are simply where you are at the moment. It is the same for Essence, except the capacity for multitasking by Essence exceeds anything one Personality can do. On a more practical level of understanding, some comprehension can be had when thinking of the Concurrents as similar to how one might raise several children at the same time. Your children exist independent of you, even while being your creations and completely dependent. You have the arcing agenda of nurturing for the children, as well as the specific attention to those moments and individuals who require it. Yet, on a whole, this is your family, a whole body in itself. We realize this can seem a complicated line of thinking to comprehend, but we think what we shared here in these various ways of understanding can lend some insight to that reality. [QUESTION] Hello Michaels, in the Sept energy report ..."September 5th through the 7th is a NEXUS for many of our students, but just as many will experience their Nexus at various points (individually) over the days between the 15th and the 20th. This means some may be the 15th through the 17th, while others may be the 16th through the 18th, etc., but most will be around 3 days....This Nexus is a Community Nexus, which usually means that this shift occurs in pockets of time close together that eventually "add up" to the collective shift of your community. A "Community" would be anyone remotely meaningful within your social or family circle. If you communicate with that person, he or she is a part of your community. This means that those within your more immediate circle would most likely move through the Nexus together, or close together. Keep in mind that having contact with someone is not the same thing as communicating. Not everyone with whom you have contact, even on a regular basis, is someone with whom you communicate (engage in meaningful exchange)." Could you expand on this please, how has the energy changed from the May Nexus to now and how it pertains within this group? [Michael Entity] Though we know Troy and other channels refer to our sharing of perception of patterns as an "energy report," which is a valid description, we can also suggest that it be seen more as an "emphasis report." Following that line of thinking, a Nexus could be understood as a pattern leading to a growing emphasis, or into a scattering of emphases. In this case, with this month's Nexus, there is a scattering of emphases. Nexus points occur regularly, so they are not magical windows of transformative change, though they can be experienced as such during some years. The emphasis, or energy, of May was focused on relationships, and issues of surrender, regret, flow, resentment, and an overall examination of how even the worst of experiences/relationships are contributing to your life in potentially beneficial ways. The emphasis, or energy, now is focused on your internal philosophy about life overall, and what you can DO about fulfilling your ideals, dreams, desires, etc. How it pertains to this group is directly. Each of you are in some way participating in the energies/emphases of the world around you, so it would not surprise us if each of you are internally confronting yourself about your personal philosophy, or interpretation, of life and experience and self. This internal confrontation is the source of the Nexus. The questions that have come up within you will align you more with some people than with others, and this is why it is a Community Nexus. Not only is the questioning happening individually, but along with many who feel the same way, and the outcome of this would be a clarity of direction individually, which adds up when in a group. Most of you will have come to some sense of clarification about your life in a way that might be captures in the phrase, "I can do it!" and this would help to move you forward with an openness that draws you to those whose "doing" is compatible, supportive, and even directly and mutually benefiting each other. Of course, the divergent aspect of this Nexus is that there will also be versions of you who say, "I can do it! But I won't." and this will move groups together in directions of mutual grief, defeat, and general boredom as the comfort in the lack of will is chosen over the effort needed to follow your will. It could be said, then, that May was about grasping the fact that you are in a boat with others in a current that has others in their own boats, and that none of these can be completely controlled. September is about grasping the fact that you do have a means of steering, using an oar, motor, or even a stick if you have to. Just because one cannot control, does not mean one cannot navigate. For some of you, it is exciting to find that oar, and for others it may be a disappointing discovery because steering is not enough, and you preferred the comfort of justified complaint and confusion and may "accidentally" toss that oar off the side. Some simply find the current to be fine as it is. This is why we said in our report that the extent to which you determine the oar is of use is the extent to which your next three months might be relieved of the feelings of Impatience and Martyrdom. Choice is always the "oar." Or more accurately: Choice is always the "current," and Decisions are always the "oar." In terms of "cooperation" vs "isolation," we might use the words "wholeness" and "division," as "cooperation" implies an imposition. The only cooperation most need to be concerned with in a life is the cooperation among the various parts of oneself, or a sense of wholeness and trust, vs a sense of division and conflict within, with one "lazier," or frightened, or angry part dominating other parts. If you desire to DO one thing, but DO another, you are divided. Desire is your navigational alert to where all of you want to go, including Essence. And including the angry, lazy, resentful, and screaming, kicking parts, as well. [QUESTION] Michael has said that some parallels were VERY different than others and won't re-merge back into the total until well into the Causal. Can you give me several examples where history went off on completely different tracks, besides the nuclear war that occurred in one parallel back in our mid-1980s? I was told that I have several parallels that will never merge into this trunk or branch until we've all cycled off. I realize that each parallel considers itself to be the "true trunk." [Michael Entity] Not all parallels consider themselves to be the "true trunk." It is natural to live as if it is, of course, which is exactly how it is designed to be experienced. The older the soul, and the more exploration of this concept, the more likely the sense of such solidity begins to dissipate, which can make for some very interesting lifetimes for a Personality. When conscious awareness and observation of the literal shifts and changes in parallels are explored by a Personality, it can be terrifying and exhilarating. Much of what is experienced as discrepancies among parallels is ignored, briefly noted and then dismissed, or simply experienced as a private confusion. [QUESTION] Schizophrenia? [Michael Entity] In a very few cases, Schizophrenia might result, but that condition is more a result of an internal breakdown of communication among various sub-personalities assigned to different emotional components of the Personality. In response to your broader question: there are a multitude of parallels that have spun off at various points in your history to become fairly incomprehensible to the Personalities experiencing "this" parallel. Some of those examples would be: 1) Your world as a result of the North of America losing its Civil War, wherein slavery is still common, though with compassionate acts passed to protect the well-being of the slaves. The business of buying, selling, breeding, and exporting people has escalated to a scale fairly difficult to imagine or convey. 2) Another branch has emphasized a move away from all physical contact among people and focused on methods for sustaining that lack of contact, particularly through electronics, personal pods, and egg-shaped, stacked housing that holds only one person. "Families" are clustered together, but even babies are encapsulated upon birth and fed through a means that is built in to the pods. Procreation is done through laboratories and children are assigned. 3) Another branch has emphasized a taboo on "celebrity," which has become illegal. Those who gain notoriety beyond a certain population count face various forms of punishment, including death. 4) Another branch has never put to use anything beyond the use of natural elements as they occur naturally, or as close to "naturally," as possible, meaning that living is found in natural creations, such as caves, tree canopies, and some simple structures. There is no electricity and communication is only within shouting distance. The examples can continue, but we can safely suggest that if you can imagine it, it exists in some form. An aside: all parallels have access to each other through that single bridge: Imagination. Imagination is far more a tool than a novelty. The examples we cited today are examples of parallels generated from various points for specific, pivotal reasons: The first example is rather obvious and recent. The second from a point in time you might see as a time of the "Black Plague." The third originated from a Nexus around 2000 years ago as Christianity gained its footing and the taboo of self-serving positions in society were outlawed below the levels of the church, but another Nexus generated from a massive wave of suicides and stalker/murders in the 80s, merging into each other. The fourth from the impact of weather patterns not moving to any extreme to encourage nomadic behavior. The examples could extend into off-planet contact and integration of alien populations, to a parallel where only 4 bodies remain of your species. [QUESTIONS] Greetings Michael, my question is about the Internal Monads; following is from a private session with Troy: "In fact, the completion of Internal Monads in the negative pole are vital to the process of evolution for the soul. Each Internal Monad will have a lifetime with a completion in the negative pole before a completion in the positive pole....A successful completion of a Soul Level means the successful completion in the Positive Pole for ALL Internal Monads within one life. This can take several lives to figure out how to build through each Internal Monad relative to that Soul Level." Does every IM actually need to experience a lifetime apiece with each of the 7 IMs incomplete?! Any elaboration of this would be much appreciated. [Michael Entity] Before the late levels of the Mature cycle, it is fair to say that there is a completion in the negative pole for each Internal Monad as part of the evolution. After the 4th Level of the Mature cycle, this is no longer a consistency. In fact, before the 4th Level of the Mature cycle, there are often a multitude of Negative Pole completions of an Internal Monad before a completion in the Positive Pole. We speak in general here, but this is of such consistency that it is fair to speak so generally. There are exceptions to this consistency, but no rules. It simply seems to be the nature of how Essence builds upon experience. Many have heard the cliche that says one cannot appreciate the light without having experienced the darkness, and this is true for most for a long time, but eventually this is found to be an absurd concept. Any child can tell you that he or she does not have to drink soured milk to appreciate ice cream. And so it is that most of you eventually find your means of comprehending that does not require such fracturing, such pain, and struggle as a means to experience wholeness, joy, and ease. [QUESTION] In the later mature, and old cycles, is it necessary (usually) to have many lives to process the first 3 IMs? [Michael Entity] The variations after that point are across the board, so to speak. The variations become a matter of creativity, and not confined to any default. This is because the "negative pole" is experienced differently than before. It is not always experienced as a "bad" thing, or a painful thing, but as a matter of experience that brings as much benefit as any other, and it is not avoided anymore than it is preferred. It is simply a matter of choice, or a matter of allowing room for Personality to go as "awry" as it chooses. Some of the most exciting and creative adventures have been experienced by Essence through the Personalities who were the most "rogue." However, the negative pole does not always feel so great to the Personality. In older soul Personalities that are most rejecting of Essence, the Personality always suspects "something" is not quite valid in that rejection and keeps an eye open for Essence, which allows room for Essence to help navigate within that lifetime. [QUESTION] Hello, Michael. You have begun to answer these questions in many ways throughout this chat. Perhaps, though, you could elaborate more specifically. 1) Are you aware of another mid-causal teacher who calls itself Abraham? They teach about the law of attraction and how we create our own reality/experience. 2) How do your teachings about karma and essence choices relate to their teaching? They teach about how we create our own reality through our vibrational offering and how we can control much of what comes into our experience by guiding our thoughts in a certain direction and paying attention to how we feel. They teach that what shows up in our experience is always (without exception) a match to our vibrational offering. My main question is 3) How much can we "control" from this PERSONALITY perspective? For example: if essence wants to learn lessons about poverty, would I be able to co-create wealth by my conscious, NOW focusing of my thoughts and attention? [Michael Entity] In response to your questions: 1) Yes, we are aware of this entity, who acts as a "channel" themselves for other entities. The entity who is identified as Abraham is of the Astral Plane, however, and acts as a medium for Causal Plane entities who are the source of the teaching. 2) We find our teachings dovetail quite well with the source of Abraham's teachings, but we see some of that validity is lost in the translation through the channel and furthermore in the reception by the students. The emphasis on emotion and feeling is an emphasis of the Astral entity who is learning all about the dynamics of emotion on that plane, so that entity is teaching what it is learning, but leaving out some key elements that the Causal sources are offering. The emphasis on "vibration" is an Astral teaching, because that is the direct medium of experience in that plane, but this is a difficult and rather intangible term for most to find useful to any extent while Physical. It often leads to frustration and further division within the self as it seems this should be such an easy concept to harness and use. This is not to say that many do not "get it." Many do. But those who truly grasp the teaching also grasp the limitations. In answer to number 3: you have COMPLETE control over your lifetime as Personality. This is said, of course, with the caveat that "complete control" is meant in terms of CHOICE, and choice is often confined to certain parameters imposed by the nature of the Physical Plane, and the impact from others who choose to impact you. However, Essence NEVER imposes. Essence does not impose a lesson of poverty, for instance. Instead, it learns from the choices of Personality when those choices lead to a life of poverty. It is true that Essence may be curious or want to learn about poverty, but it does not impose those lessons. Essence may choose to be born within the conditions of poverty, but from there, the Personality is in control. Everything leading up to the first breath is the choice and creation of Essence. Beyond that first breath, everything is a result of choice made by the Personality. The entire concept of "lessons" is a misnomer, by the way. Essence does not impose lessons, and neither does the universe, god, or any other force. Instead, "lessons" are simply what one chooses to gain from an experience. Twenty children can be in the strictest of classrooms with the greatest of impositions to learn a certain subject, and all will leave having learned something varied, even if all of them can now add 4 plus 4. You can create what you want with this life, within the parameters of what tools you have, what tools you gain, with your intentions, with your call for help and your openness for support, and your use of energy in a direction that is aligned with your desires, and your willingness to deal with the obstacles that arise from within and without. [QUESTION] What are some of those key elements that are left out of Abraham's teachings? [Michael Entity] What is missing is too much to explore here, but can be summed up in being the Causal aspects. The equation of creation that requires Cause, Force, or Action to be a part of it. The emphasis from the entity known as Abraham focuses on vibration, thought, and feeling, with some emphasis on doing, but the doing is then stripped from the teaching in the recipients' interpretation as they are left presuming that reality is created merely from positive feelings and proper thinking. For those who realize that reality is not simply something you wish into existence around you, but is one that is generated from your force in the world that is generated through your acts of choice, and your choice in action, then the teaching can be of great use. [QUESTION] Are there any karmic scenarios that would make it difficult for personality to create what it wants? [Michael Entity] In answer to the reality of karmic scenarios making it difficult for personality to create what it wants: Yes, that is the nature of Karma, which is not only the interference of choice, but the intensity generated from the reaction to that interference. However, as the soul ages, some of what would have been a most karmic scenario simply becomes just another thing. For instance, in early lives if one were to lose his legs because of the impact of choice from another, this could effectively "end" the life and all of the intentions of Personality, but in later lives, this would simply be an obstacle that is tended to on the way to fulfilling those intentions and no Karma is generated. Of course, murder (the most extreme Karma) is difficult to overcome in terms of being able to be overcome by the Personality, so those Karmic scenarios are explored long before the concept of "creating reality" even comes into conscious possibility of a Personality. In other words, in most instances where Karma is the interfering force that limits the intention and choice of a Personality, they are experienced as part of the haphazard navigation of that Personality through a life, but when the Personality begins to conceive of creating reality from choice, vibrations, feeling, thought, to an extent that could be considered "metaphysical," then that Personality is usually beyond the influence of Karma to the degree that it could hinder all choices. [QUESTION] Thank you. Right now we are in a period of 'mercury retrograde'. All sorts of problems/issues involving communications, electronics, transportation, etc. are blamed on 'mercury retrograde'. How much, if any, does the 'appearance' of a planet revolving in reverse direction around the sun really have? Is this a real influence or is this a case of 'finding something because you are looking for it'? Or do we 'create' these incidents by our expectations? [Michael Entity] In the same way that our Energy Reports could be read at any point in the year and find some validity, so can the symbology of Astrological influences. Planets are symbolic representations of general emphases, but they are not literally the causes. Electronics, communication, and transportation issues can be found at any point in the year, as can, in our case, issues of emphasis represented by Goals, Relationships, Attitudes, etc. However, observing synchronicity among patterns, and extracting meaning from those patterns, is valid and an evolutionary perception. In other words, while Mercury does not cause electronic or communication issues, it does symbolize the period of time when awareness toward those areas of life can be most clear. Our Energy Reports do not tell you what will happen in your world, or what is causing it, but what is most obvious and capable of being explored with some amount of clarity, based on valid patterns we perceive. [COMMENT] Ok, so we 'find' those incidents because we are 'looking for' them [Michael Entity] Yes, to some extent that is true; the patterns of clarity in observation of those breakdowns coincide with the movement of the planet, so that "more" of them seem to occur during that time, but more did not happen, it is only that more of them are seen. Keep in mind that the symbology of Astrology is ancient, and the patterns were adapted long ago. This would be true of most planetary systems with different planetary configurations. "In the beginning" these forces were not as aligned, but as observations began to be noted and shared, the Sentient species begins to use the planetary configurations as a kind of clock that will extend through the existence of the species. Planetary configurations, or Astrology, could be said to help with the bridging between Essence and Personality in terms of "keeping track" and planning. The first place this is utilized is in the Body Types, as your Body Types are generated from planet closest to the midheaven upon conception of your body. [QUESTION] and that is more than 'coincidence' or just coincidence, that the patterns leading to those breakdowns coincide with the movement of the planet? [Michael Entity] We would not call any significant connection between the symbolism of Astrology and your real world experiences as being merely coincidence. [QUESTION] so the patterns are not caused by the planetary positioning but have been aligned in human thought to take advantage of the planetary positioning? [Michael Entity] That is close. We would not contain it to human thought, though. It would be more an Essence perception. It is a momentum that is utilized effectively. The clock is turning, so to speak, and Essence has learned how to use that clock for various aspects of creation of the life, Agreements, Karmic patterns, and potentials of Personality. Though this is extremely simplified, think of how the Sun comes up every day and how one times his or her life to work with that cycle. It is not that the Sun causes your day, or your experiences, but one does know that one can see better during the daylight, find sync with more people actively during the daylight, and rest, or play in the night. The Sun does not decide this or cause this, but it is used as a means to emphasize certain areas of life. And so it is with all of the planetary "influences." Mercury does not cause the breakdowns of electronics and communication, but it has been assigned as the symbol and pattern associated with your species exploration and emphasis of what it symbolizes. It is known to some that the more one truly studies Astrology, the less the influence is seen. This is similar to how one can find one is ruled by the momentum of the day's clock, or eventually see the clock as simply indicating opportunities and potential, but it is never the influence in itself. The recognition of patterns is a Higher Moving Center positive pole of Beauty, or Energy. As one recognizes patterns, one begins to comprehend that the current pattern is within other patterns. From the most personal level of omens and signs to astrology to "Michael Math" and beyond, the patterns are valid and exist. We can discuss this further as this then moves into discussion of fractals and their place in understanding the nature of reality. [QUESTION] What benefit is studying the Michael teaching now - from the point of view of future lives - if we shall presumably be completely ignorant of it then? In rare instances it may have helped to deal sensibly with a karmic etc. situation, but otherwise it seems to be mainly theory for most, and thus forgotten after this life. [Michael Entity] We cannot predict how a future life of yours will see a past life of itself, or what a future Personality will allow into its life that was gained from the comprehension you gain in this life, but we can say that the effort to gain comprehension of your life is not a wasted effort, because the concern is not about the future life; it is about you,now. Reincarnation is valid. Simultaneous (parallel) lives, Concurrent lives, Past lives, and Future lives, even "adjacent" lives (which we have barely begun to explore with our students) are all valid, but these have no bearing on what you choose to do for you. Now. In this life. No matter how many lives your Essence lives, this life is yours. It begins and ends in a profound way that is unique only to you and what you do between those points is your choice. However, in terms of how a future life might benefit from what you learn in this life, we can only use you as an example of a future Personality of your own Essence's past. You found us again. You are studying with us again. And you are using what you learn again. You found us faster in this lifetime than in other lifetimes, and you call us by a more accurate name this time. From our perspective, what "you" did as "Madge" or "Buford" in your past is clearly showing up as part of what "you" are building upon in this life. But we would also say that for most, this claim would mean little to the current Personality. [QUESTION] The teaching is mostly just words. [Michael Entity] The interpretation of our teaching as being merely words is a matter of interpretation and application. Some of our students do not choose to apply our teaching, but simply choose to study it, or explore it. For those who apply it, our teaching becomes something very different. All interpretations are valid, as far as we are concerned. We find the truth to be that "everything" is theory, or just words, until it is applied. Keep in mind that many children sit for hours in classrooms learning subjects that are of little interest or understanding of their real world application until they are in situations where that learning is activated and applicable within context. Learning CPR is something many may never have to apply, but the learning was not lost, nor was it merely "words," simply because it was not necessary to apply it somewhere in the future. Many things learned may never have any bearing on your current life in the end. For many of our students, the exploration of our teaching is a wide net that catches what might be used, and a lot of what might not be used within the current lifetime. We can only say to you that what you choose to explore, study, and/or apply is always added to Essence's knowledge, but we will never be able to "prove" this to you, and we would not wish to, anyway. What we wish to emphasize is that you have a choice. A choice in what to explore, a choice in what to apply, and if the power of your choice is the only thing any of you ever learn from us, you have learned what we came to teach. The rest of our teaching is simply our suggestion of tools for how to utilize Choice. We will conclude our session with you here. Good day to each of you. Goodbye.
