Michael Speaks: The Nine Priorities

2017-10-02

Channeled by Troy Tolley in a live session at TLEGG 2017

 

Note from Janet: Can we all just agree that @DanielaS ROCKS for getting all three TLEGG transcripts done so quickly?!!

 

MEntity:
OK. Bear with us as we strengthen our delivery. As we do so, hello to each of you and welcome back.

 

Today we will be talking about what currently we will describe as the Nine Priorities. This is fairly new information, though you may see hints of it throughout the questions and answers among our students over the years.

 

What we are doing as we evolve our body of teaching with our students is expand in two different directions. One is in a larger scale so that we can explore with you those larger contexts that are very difficult to imagine. But also, to focus more acutely within a lifetime so that you can understand more intimately how you work on levels that are “you” as a body and a biology representing a Consciousness that includes choice on that level as well.

 

You are making conscious choices as a meeting ground between your Essence and Personality, and there are choices that your Essence makes, and there are choices that your Consciousness makes in that meeting ground. But there are also choices being made that are driven by a more unconscious, or subconscious, fuel within your individual Personalities.

 

These may or may not be related to past lives. They tend to be unique to who you are in this lifetime and help put a stamp on the current you in a way that is meaningful even if it may not be obvious.

 

So, while you have a Goal for a lifetime and a Mode and Attitude and so forth, you will also find that your path is defined by one or more of these Nine Priorities that have in some way been generated within your lifetime, and that creates a trajectory for great lengths of time if not the entire lifetime.

 

So, while you can understand yourself in terms of the meeting ground where the Goal is describing your Personality, these Priorities can help you to understand what is happening even deeper than that within who you are, that defines who you are.

 

The first one we will cover is the Priority, and we can also interchange the terminology of the Nine Priorities or the Nine Defining Factors of a lifetime. Some of you will find that based on your experiences, and this can occur at any point in your life, but we are speaking of whatever point before this moment, has been defined by DEATH. This is one of the Nine Priorities that can occur within a lifetime that defines the trajectory of your life.

 

A pivotal experience regarding Death, a Death in your life, sends you on a trajectory that is uniquely defined and different from the other Nine Priorities. So, the Priority of the Personality is to resolve whatever has been stamped upon the life in some way from the experience of a Death.

We are going to go through these as succinctly as possible, and then we will take your questions and elaborate if we can. This is new information coming through this channel, so it may be a little choppy at moments.

 

Another Defining Factor, or Priority, is GRIEF.

 

This is a life that is stamped with a pattern of constant challenges around loss, disappointments, failed expectations, and while Death may be a part of this, it expands more beyond that into losing a job, losing a girlfriend or boyfriend or husband, or a halt in some way that forces one to face a change that was unexpected. And then there is a period of Grief. Some lives, some Personalities, as an undercurrent are fueled by this persistent pattern of Grief in the life.

 

We wish to point out that none of these are bad or good, but it helps to understand that if a life is defined by this, it is not a curse. It is an experiential pattern from which you must extract as much as you can as a conscious and sentient being and understand that it is not imposed on you or a curse or just your bad luck.

 

There is a part of you that is an undercurrent of your biology, the consciousness of this body, that is interested in some way in that particular trajectory. We share this with you so that you can develop compassion for those paths and transcend them in some way, so that you are not trapped in them but can learn from them.

 

The next is BODY IMAGE and HEALTH.

 

Some lives are completely defined by a pattern of constant struggle with how you appear to other people in terms of Body Image. We are not speaking in terms of Chief Negative Features. We are speaking of the internal struggle about how one is shaped in the world as a representation of themselves. As well as Health, which is tied together with Body Image.

 

This trajectory is defined by persistent struggles that fall under those categories of Health and Body Image. And the reason these are connected is because sometimes the Body Image element is not about something you can change. It is about how you are perceiving yourself in relation to how you assume others see you. And this affects your Health in physical ways as well, and psychological ways. So, Body Image and Health are intertwined together

 

The three that we just covered could be said to be linked to the Truth path of trajectories or Priorities. Those who are dealing with these three particular trajectories or Defining Factors or Priorities are exploring Truth in ways that cannot be explored outside of those trajectories. Because these make you face the Truth quite directly and intimately, or at least carry you in a trajectory in a way that will help you to find a pivotal moment of Truth.

 

Another Defining Factor or Priority is SEX. There are those of you who are driven by Sex. We will not point any fingers. [Laughter]

 

And this may be something that is assumed must be repressed or set aside as something wrong with you. And there may be challenges because of the cultural norms that must be adhered to and the boundaries of social interaction.

 

But if Sex is part of what is the trajectory or the Defining Factor or the Priority that your body is trying to pursue, you must find a way for that to be explored. And part of the process of that trajectory is finding the appropriate ways for this to be explored. But it is nothing to be ashamed of or to hide or to repress. It is something to celebrate and find its way, find its path, create that path for that Priority of Sex.

 

This may sound shallow to some who do not have it as a trajectory but for those who have it as a Priority it is a very serious undercurrent of energy that is very difficult to manage and must be explored in a loving and conscious way.

 

Another path or Priority is ADDICTION.

 

There are some bodies, and all bodies to some degree, but there are some bodies that must deal with the path or the Priority of challenges connected to Addiction. Addiction could be defined as a dependency upon which you are struggling to free yourself.

 

So, Addictions can come in all forms, whether it is a chemical Addiction, an emotional Addiction, an intellectual Addiction. But it tends to have more control over your choices than you do.

 

And therefore, those who are defined by that path, or put Addiction as a Priority, must focus on the dance that occurs when facing those challenges of defining oneself on one's own terms outside of the gravity of dependency.

 

Many who have this trajectory may not even know that they have a trajectory of Addiction, or a Priority of Addiction, because some Addictions are quite culturally acceptable. So, it is up to the individual to know, to discover, that there is a pattern in the life that repeats in terms of dependency on something that either relieves them of the responsibility of choice or that they fight against to try to get their power of choice returned to them. So, Addiction is another Priority.

 

Another path or Priority is RELATIONSHIPS.

 

There are some of you who need to be with others. There are some of you who need to be touched, who need to be heard, to be seen, to communicate, to exchange in ways that are your resource for learning. These are what we refer to as Relationships.

 

There are some who shun relationships and do not understand why they are pressured to pursue Relationships or to be around people. That is because that is not a Priority for them.

 

But for those who have Relationships as a Priority, it is time to embrace that trajectory as something that your body, your biology, your most acute levels of Personality seek as its playground for learning about itself. How you do this is up to you but allowing Relationships to be a Priority and pursuing them and all the challenges that go into this is yours.

 

These three could be said to be on the axis or the line of Love, the paths of Love.

 

The next path or Priority is CAREER.

 

Some of you define yourselves and your lives by what you are doing in terms of a Career. This is a path or a Priority that focuses on an exchange that rewards your contributions. Exploring what skills and talents you have that can be contributed in a way that recreates a circuit of reciprocation and sustainability is a Priority for some of you and not a Priority for many of you.

 

All of these apply to Old Souls as well. None of these are more inclined to be true for younger souls or Mature Souls. All of these can be true for every Soul Age because of imprinting and the randomness of the consciousness that rises from the cells that are your body, and their interests that become a part of your own.

 

Some of you are not so interested in prioritizing Career, but you find that you are prioritizing MONEY. You simply need Money. You simply need to find a way to get it. [Laughter]

 

You find that the struggle and the Priority is a dance between rejecting it and accepting it and understanding it as a currency for the rides that are available on Earth as part of your experiences. Money is a ticket, so to speak, to get to some of the rides that are available. And you must do so, you must participate in that system in some way, in many contexts.

 

In many situations you do not have to. But for some Money becomes a distraction, a priority, a challenge, an obstacle.

 

And while we said that these are not specific or distributed across the Soul Ages, Money does tend to be an Old Soul issue that comes up either as a complete non-Priority or a distracting Priority.

 

How you resolve this is up to you and it is part of the dance of your life, the dynamic of your life. We have no solutions for you, but if you find that this is a Priority, it is one that you can, once again, embrace and see from a different angle of creative challenge rather than a curse or an imposition.

 

The final path or Priority is PURPOSE.

 

Some of you simply want this life to matter. That matters more to you than all of the other Priorities, and you want something to be left behind that matters. Now, we can say that most of you feel this way about your lives. You do want them to matter, you do want them to have left something good behind.

 

But for those who have this as a trajectory, a Defining Factor, a Priority, it is quite different than the general want to simply have a good life that matters. Those who have it as a Priority go out of their way to find how to make a difference, how to matter in some way, how to inject themselves into the matrix of life in a way that helps it.

 

Sometimes that Purpose is not always clear and must be defined and explored and experimented with. And sometimes that Purpose is not always necessary and falls flat, and that is part of the exploration and experimentation for those who have Purpose as a Priority.

 

But these final three are for those whose path is exploring Beauty or Energy and how it works in the Physical Plane.

 

So, what we have given you is the three for Truth, Love, and Energy that your bodies as a collection of cells that have their own Consciousness rise up and merge with who you are as a Consciousness but contribute to the path or trajectory that this particular body is on.

 

We point this out because we speak, and many teachings speak greatly, about your soul and this Essence and this body as if it is something you wear. But it is its own Consciousness that is contributing to the choices and factors and paths of your life. It is not just “you.” It is this package of cells that have their own Consciousness as well.

 

As the Old Soul evolves, there comes a point where it is recognized that the entire planet works this way. And we will get to that in another discussion with you.

 

Do you have question or comments that you would like to offer relative to what we have shared?

 

Cyprus: I have a question. Based on what side you are in the Entity, on the Truth, Love, Energy side, does that play a role in what your body is more likely to use as one of these nine options?

 

MEntity: No.

 

Brian: You delineated them in groups of three, of Truth, Love and Energy. Within those groupings are there sub-groupings in terms of one of them representing the Inspirational Axis, another one the Expressional Axis, and the other the Action Axis from each of those?

 

MEntity: No.

 

Cong: Can you tell us what are the top three popular Priorities within this group today and why those three are the most popular?

 

MEntity: No. [Laughter]

 

Martha: Are these things that are chosen before the life, or do they shift as you mature, and things happen, and you go through your life?

 

MEntity:
First, we will elaborate on our previous No. [Laughter] We will not do that at this point because we wish to engage you as students for your sharing your revelations about where you might be, and then you can draw from there what you've determined are the top three. Do you understand?

 

What was your question again?

 

Martha: Are these things that are chosen before the life, or do they change as you mature and have experiences?

 

MEntity: They are not chosen before the life. They are chosen as part of life, growing as “you” in a physical body. They do change and can change. If there is a point in your life where the Defining Factor of Death is resolved for you, it can shift to something else.

 

Cyprus: Is that common?

 

MEntity:
It is common enough that there is no rule. No life is set as defined by one of these trajectories in any way because the participation in the life can shift that. And if it were set, there would be a lack of choice involved.

 

So, they can change, but many who have it set for the entire life simply did not do the work of participating in that, understanding that trajectory. So, there are lives that are defined by it from that point forward, but for our students and for those who are awake, there tends to be some staggering of movement through the different Priorities.

 

BobbyK: Is there any correlation or is there a higher tendency based on your Goal to possibly be exploring certain paths? For example, when you mentioned the Priority of Purpose, with my Goal being Growth, I resonated instantly with that. But is that common? Or are there plenty of people with Goals of Growth for whom a path of Purpose will never be a part of their life?

 

MEntity:
The latter. This is independent from the Goal. There is no correlation or cause relative to anything else other than the Consciousness of the cells of your body literally waking up with you as a presence of sentience and participating in contributing to an interest in what to experience in this form as a host for “you” as “you.”

 

So, if it were defined by the Personality, or rather the Overleaves, there would be an injection or an influence in some way, but this is a completely raw, open set of choices that evolve from the cells that are growing as you. They are conscious.

 

Michael: Do Priorities tend to run in families? I know for me, I resonated with Addiction. And in my family for a couple of generations, as far as I know, lots of people in the family have struggled with different kinds of Addictions.

 

MEntity:
Yes, they do. Those who share in Priorities tend to be drawn together or in a pocket of predominant Priorities. The cells that come from the families tend to gravitate towards the familiar Priority already set.

 

This is still a form of choice, but it is one of the influences that can be considered, and strongly. Again, it is not imposed as one can shift into a different Priority over time and with effort. But yes, if you are born to a family who has emphasized the Priority of Addiction, it is highly likely that you may also carry that, at least for a good portion of the life.

 

Michael: And that happens with all the Priorities?

 

MEntity: Yes. Yes. Try being born to a family who prioritizes Career and your Priority is Purpose or Sex, and it can be quite difficult to break out of the pressure to define yourself by a career when all you want to do is have sex.

 

Kerrin: Can a Priority be deliberately chosen to push your Life Task or life in a certain direction?

 

MEntity:
Yes, it can be. But if the other is not resolved, it will not take. It must be put alongside.

 

There will be one Priority that is defined by the body and the cells that we are describing as collectively contributing to the path of your life, or the trajectory. But as a conscious individual, that meeting ground, having this information and this map or even simply knowing that these are options in a life in general, can choose to focus on a different Priority and put that alongside of it, but the original Priority still must be addressed.

 

So, for instance, if a life has been defined by a death but one is working on a career, the trajectory of the career is a manufactured trajectory that has not been integrated into the body, and there will always be this undercurrent Priority to resolve the death that has defined the life, or to find peace with it, or to integrate it in some way.

 

Otherwise, even with a successful career, there will be something missing, so to speak, a sense of distraction or dissatisfaction. Does this make sense?

 

Kerrin: It does. But taking Death for an example. If somebody close to you died, hit by a drunk driver and killed, and the person decides to devote their life to changing drunk driving laws. They use that as a catalyst to save others. I was wondering if that would be a healthy way to —

 

MEntity:
Yes. There are many times when a death or even a health crisis has shifted someone towards Purpose as a way to resolve those particular undercurrents. Yes, in that way it works very well together. But there will be no moment in your life that one of these is not a Priority.

 

The terminology that we are using here will change if it is on a different planet or a different period of time with a different set of cultural options in the world. They are not consistent, but there will always be these nine Priorities in some way defined along these axes of Truth, Love, and Energy, regardless of where you are. If you have a body, there will be one of nine Priorities that the body starts to generate as a trajectory in your life.

 

Next.

 

BobbyA: In trying to figure out an order of these, prioritizing the Priorities in my own life, I resonated with several of them. If my top Priority was on the Inspiration Axis would the secondary and tertiary also most likely be on the Inspiration Axis or could they just be scattered?

 

MEntity: It can be scattered. You will rarely find that we present to you information that has less structure than this. But because this is not something that is planned, such as your Overleaves and all of the infrastructure of Sentience, but is rising up from the conglomeration of consciousness of cells in your body, it is a very different set, a different map. And that is about as structured as we can get with it.

 

Michael: Would non-sentient creatures have nine Priorities or does it only apply to sentience?

 

MEntity:
Non-sentient creatures will have the Instinctive Center driving the lives. The difference in sentience and non-sentience is that meeting ground that allows for the interpretation of the consciousness that is the body.

 

You get a choice in what to do with what the cells of the body contribute to the life. Whereas, in non-sentience they are confined by the template that is the hive soul and the instinctive drives of the body.

 

So, this leads us to a point to bring to you: the cells that make up your body, everything that is a part of your body, is not there randomly. It is not there as a shifting pool of mush to represent you. These cells that are your body are in a kind of incarnation of their own with you as their universe.

 

This is where we are going with some of our deeper explorations of our teaching during this True Application, and this is something that is important to understand as you grow older in Soul Age. You are not just borrowing material from the planet and discarding it. It is choosing to be a part of you as much as you are choosing to give it form and experience and life.

 

The planet evolves from the materials or the cells and the minerals and energy that is you that you leave behind, and it moves back into the pool of the Physical Plane or Earth. It is contributing to the evolution of consciousness on the planet in general.

 

And this is a scale that we have not explored very deeply, if at all, with many of our students. But the pool of material that you draw from is in itself evolving and is choosing to be your body.

 

You are more than just your head floating around looking out into the world through eyes.

 

Further questions?

 

Janet: If you have spent the majority of your life working under the trajectory of one Priority and you reach essentially resolution, is that a point in time where there could be a crisis for the lifetime, maybe causing someone to look for an Exit Point or need assistance to redirect the focus of the lifetime? I'm thinking particularly of people who have had a trajectory of Career and have reached retirement age.

 

MEntity: We may need your question to be clarified.

 

Janet: So, if someone has spent their life focused on Career, that's been their entire trajectory, and they've reached retirement age, is that a crisis point for them?

 

MEntity:
No. We understand now. If they remain with the Priority of Career and now there is no option for this, it can become a crisis point for them.

Or they make take great solace in the fact that they have fulfilled a long trajectory of that Priority and it is resolved, and then they move into a different Priority.

 

Or it becomes an extension of the life in a way that is simply different. A career can continue even past “retirement,” as long as the context is understood as shifting. If Career remains a Priority, an individual can continue it.

 

So, our short answer would be that that depends on the individuals, where they are with themselves and that Defining Factor when it comes to a point where there is a challenge to it.

 

Next question?

 

BobbyK: Can the concept of the cells sort of reporting up to the whole body be planned out at a macro level? For example, can we apply this to continents or can we apply this to eras of time? Would it be a superficial application of the Priorities to say the 60's, it was heavily imprinted with the Priority of Sex, or Japan is heavily imprinted with the Priority of Career. Does that apply?

 

MEntity:
It does. Yes. There are geographical factors in the same way that Michael asked about family lines, or family units, contributing to Priorities, so can cultural and geographical areas. This is less of an influence than the family unit, but it can be, in retrospect in particular, a Defining Factor for understanding an era or a location.

 

But within that, all of that can be chosen. Some simply rise to the top as a Priority for change and evolution on a larger scale, but all of them were somewhere involved.

 

Martha: Do we focus on just one Priority, or do you have a major one and a minor one?

 

MEntity:
There is one Defining Factor, though there can be some that are consciously chosen either as a way to deal with that one Defining Factor or as a way to combat and distract from that Defining Factor. But there is just the one.

 

Before we take any more questions, we will ask you now, for Cong's research, [Laughter] what you have felt, and this is not a question that you may be able to answer definitively, which of these has become a Priority for you? If you choose not to reveal this, it is probably Sex. [Laughter]

 

If someone would like to tally these.

 

[Cyprus calls out each Priority and people raise their hands. It was a little chaotic with some misunderstanding. The tally was:

Death: 0

Grief: 4

Health and Body Image: 2

Sex: 0

Addiction: 2

Relationships: 7

Career: 2

Money: 2

Purpose: 4]

 

MEntity:
We are an Entity comprised of Warriors and Kings and our prerogative is to delegate for you to come to your own consensus because of what was just displayed that we avoided. [Laughter]

 

As you go through this assessment on your own when you have more time to think it through, keep in mind that these are defining trajectories of your life. Not, “Oh, what do I want to do today?” or “Oh, what is important to me?”

 

These are defining trajectories that are an undercurrent to your life so that no matter what you are focusing on or would like to do today or what sounds like fun or important today, has nothing to do with the undercurrent trajectory that you keep coming back to even if you avoid it, even if you do not want to deal with it. It keeps coming back to your consciousness as a struggle, an undercurrent, a challenge.

 

So, keep that in mind when you reassess your Priority, and as part of that assessment play with the ideas, look at the patterns of your life to see if they have had one part focus on one Priority and when it may have shifted to another, and so forth.

 

We point this out because of the theme that Troy set for this weekend's gathering because these are part of the hiccups of your life that define the life. We use the term hiccup because of Troy not as a terminology that we are offering. [Laughter]

 

[Note: TLEGG was defined for 2017 as the Sugar Hiccup Edition.]

 

These tend to be generated as either pivotal hiccups in the life that interrupt and then send you on a trajectory or they are resolved and a more conscious shift toward a Priority happens when one is resolved, and you open to another.

 

The key here is in your embracing your trajectory in a way that you can participate in its resolution rather than fight it and presume that it is something imposed upon you.

 

And that is what we would like to leave you with, so that as you struggle with some of the undercurrents of your life that feel as if they are not yours, they are. They are yours. And you have an entire collection of cells that have consciousness working with you as well as in Essence. And you are all of that.

 

We do plan to expand in this direction that we explored with you today to look at the more acute dynamics of your existence in the Physical Plane beyond the meeting ground of your body as a soul and Personality. And this could be said to be one of the first introductions to that direction.

 

And with that, we will close tonight and say good-bye and we will see you again.

Note from Janet: Here is a table that summarizes the priorities:

[Bobby 19,975]

Wow, how awesome this potentially could play into education.  Perhaps in what Michael has hinted at so far and where they see themselves going in the future this would be right in line with that.  

[KurtisM 15,260]

Wow I never would've expected this!
Troy, is this what "The 7 Fuels" evolved into? I recall there being a transcript you wanted to do called that.
Also, yes thank you @DanielaS!

Anyways my Priority is clearly ADDICTION. I always thought it was a part of my Goal, but I guess it's the other way around- it feeds into my Goal.
It's interesting, surprising and refreshing that there's something in this teaching that isn't so clearly defined and structured. XD I'm surprised there is no link between these cellular priorities & body types though, I mean this is about our body's cells. I wonder where the difference is drawn?
I'm also a bit confused on the terminology. Do the Ms mean these 9 Priorities as they're defined are just for our human culture? 
For instance, Money is the primary medium of exchange we have for trading and banking resources. When we shift into a resource-based economy, does this priority change? Would there be a larger term applicable to all bodies, like "RESOURCES"?

I vote we should continue with at least 2 other transcripts from this:
The 1st one could be on how we can bring resolution to each of these priorities. For instance, on this site we have tips for body acceptance, the root of addiction, processing death etc. It would be nice to have an archive for Michael's suggestion on how to resolve any difficulties in each.
The 2nd one has to be about our cells in relation to the planet. How do we feed it? All this info reminds me of the Grand Cycle Oscar had where he was part of a sentience ensouled in solar system bodies. Do our cells feed information just like water imprints memories and carries energies/frequencies? Is that how it's done, through water?
Also how exactly do these priorities feed the planet? Do certain cells focusing on sex end up traveling to some sexual center/chakra on the earth to pleasure the planet? XD So confusing.
When our body dies, how do these cells carry on? There's a lot of new info!. 

Anyways it's exhilarating to get another piece of the puzzle- this helps me see how this planet truly is an evolving organism. We just have a harder time seeing the whole picture since our life in space/time is so small and slow.

I always appreciate their humor. There is so much here, i think ill need to re-read it a few times. Im not really sure which priority i have. Maybee health, but i dont know, i basically feel like i could be all of 4 through 9. Ill have to think about this one. Great session thanks @DanielaS for getting it on paper.

[John Roth 889]

Very interesting. I've known for some time that the body has a consciousness of its own, and I've been trying to use the term "symbiotic" to define the relationship, although there seems to be something wrong with it - it keeps trying to escape out of my consciousness. I'm not at all sure about which one; it may be either grief or addiction.

This sounds like you're suggesting that the priorities are negative and NEED to be resolved. That's not necessarily the case, and probably isn't usually the case.

 

My priority may be Death (see My Priority: Death), but rather than thinking this needs to be resolved so that I can get into something else, figuring this out really explained a lot about my life. It's not the morbid Priority that I initially envisioned when Michael discussed it in the session, but a driving force that has been active or in the background for more than 45 years of my life. I fully expect the ultimate resolution to be my own death, at which point all my questions about death will be answered. Right? In the meantime, the Priority for me is a central organizing component behind my spiritual research and experience, and I'm not at all upset by it being my Priority, nor do I feel another Priority would be 'better'. 

 

Even someone with a Priority of Addiction may not need resolution, but may drive toward life experiences that focus on managing/healing/avoiding Addiction, not necessarily being Addicted. 

 

To me, knowing about the 9 Priorities helps explain an internal drive that might otherwise be unexplained -- or unnoticed -- had these not been presented to me. And I think that's the reason Michael wanted to present the topic. All the questions raised during the session about how to switch Priorities probably arise from an incomplete understanding of the topic, which still needs to be fleshed out, as well as knee-jerk reaction to the terms given. (Aaaack! I CAN'T have a Priority of Sex!) 

 

As far as cells having consciousness, I believe Michael has mentioned this previously, and Seth also discusses this concept quite often. All matter has consciousness; only the degree differs. One of my favorite OMW sessions ever was Tending to Your 7 Basic Rights, which discusses how even a rock has consciousness. The degree to which our body cells collaborate to create and support a human body is just another example of how awesome our universe is.

I didn't think about them being negative as in bad. Maybe I did a bit in terms of negative, being exclusive though- good call.
You bring up a good point, thanks! I wonder if there are any kind of - or + poles then, and these priorities are more like the neutral terms. I like that they aren't inherently things to do, just mediums that drive us.

In my own life, I don't view addiction as bad- but there are definitely some addictions I want to resolve/break and some I want to create (as in: hobbies or health routines). When I was looking at the Casting Positions, I even thought that the "Global Job" of ADDICTION might have fit me, but perhaps that's just because of these priorities instead.
I'm glad sex is a priority though, it really relieved me from the instinctive judgement I make when I see people perform sex as a ritual- or people that live their life around sexual topics.

I'm def aware about them mentioning cells have consciousness, but not going iinto detail about it.
For instance, in discussing body types they described how Body Type NATURES describe the collective cellular consciousness that our body navigates through/with- which we know today as our innate PSYCHOLOGY.
My Body for instance, is primed for thinking a lot, puzzling a lot, solving puzzles a lot, brainstorming a lot, innovating a lot, forming a lot etc. because of the high % of Mercury. We don't know the details of how or why that happens to be though.
And yeah it's totally awesome! "As above so below" is such an apt term.

Golly. This is a bit difficult to pinpoint.

i resonate with so many!

Hmmm...I see in my friends areas that are glaring priorities that make no sense to me. I admit being the guy who raises an eyebrow of confusion when someone wants to leep from one relationship to the next. It is just not a priority of mine. Helps ease my air of superiority.

I could be wrong, by my heartgut says mine is MONEY.

I have body image issues I have worked on for my entire life....but that is healing and healing and healing and can be worked with.

but...that...asshole money...money...it is the only thing I ever heard growing up...the only conversation ever had “ we dont have enough money” ... “ how much will that cost” . To this day I dread family groupings for a main reason being due to the incredibly boring comversations about lack of money.  Yet...money seems to be that one thing that if i do not feel Inhave access to, everything else sort of collapses around me. Who knows though, for the first time in a while, i have a comfortable amount of money and therefor I am not thinking about it much at all...maybe it has shifted...well...ramble done...who knows...hmm...hmmm....hmm.....ok...i choose.....BODY IMAGE! Final answer

[Sam K 3,610]

Body Image/Health would be my first guess, as I can be pretty vain and self-conscious when I allow myself to be.  Sex would be my second guess, because surely one of us must have it as a Priority.

I actually think mine are probably money, but sex is my second guess also. I always thought that was just part of being a guy, but maybee it isnt. In a future session, ill ask about it.

[Gavin 472]

Well!

First thanks to @DanielaS, @Troy and, of course, The Michaels. Mind blowing! So glad I found you guys and joined to catch this new line of investigation and understanding. Totally Amaze-balls!

 

Anyhow, I am VERY sure my priority is relationships. From a very early age I have been driven by the need to have relationship on a 1 on 1 basis. At various points I was obsessed. (I have been in a relationship now since I was 17! This year marks 30 with my wife, Julie)  I do think for some portion of my life I have also explored sex as a priority. At least until I realised that my burning need for intimacy did not mean sex!

 

Now that my wife and I have sorted all the relationship issues out and have achieved acceptance, intimacy and unconditional love abounds and I feel I have dealt with and succeed in my underlying priority.

I wonder if there is a such thing as "abrading Priorities" between two people and what Michael would have to say about those?  Two people having the same Priority must feel really good.

Hah!  Are you thinking about one priority in particular?

[H2nna 2,488]

I think there might be more conflict if people are on different axis??

 

Mine is probably DEATH, body image&health and grief also, but definately TRUTH axis.

LOL... well, sure!  I'm pretty sure my Priority is Relationships and Marty's is probably Career.  It's bound to lead to conflicts.  That was my reason for wondering how Michael would tie this into their whole Education topic.  Most schools ONLY prepare you for Career.  But say if it were known that your Priority was Relationships, then you could learn about training for a career, secondarily, that dealt primarily with relationships such as a counselor, psychologist, etc.  I think it would all fit nicely together  :)

[Diane 8,095]

Great ideas.

[Evelin 6,292]

Wow, interesting timing. About two weeks ago before seeing my therapist I thought I have such an amount of grief work to do, I just never thought of it in those terms before. 

I always grieved things deeply as a child, one year I refused to let go of a Xmas tree and kept a tiny branch in my drawer until spring :)

Anyway, I’d say mine is probably Grief, with Sex (in a broad sense) and Purpose next.

 

I first thought everyone might have one of each Side, but apparently no.

 

@DanielaS, deep scholarly bows in your direction for transcribing!!!

[Wendy 4,075]

Hmmm I think I'm Health, but also could be Money or Relationships.  Even maybe Grief.  Will see what comes up further now that I've put this info in my brain.

[Juni 8,518]

I can't figure out if it's Body Image, Grief, Relationships, or Addiction for me.

[petra 10,429]

@DanielaS  Big hug and Thank You !!!

 

ME: " And you have an entire collection of cells that have consciousness working with you as well as Essence. And you are all of that. "

ME:" These cells that are your body are in a kind of incarnation of their own with you as their universe."

 

Very powerful statements, brings the ability to respond straight home. If you have a chance to look at your own cells under a microscope,

do so, it is quite an eye opener how they respond to you and how they change according to your attitude.

 

As for me, Priority Money, was it once, moved on to Sex and now it is the Health department.

Note from Janet: Can we all just agree that @DanielaS ROCKS for getting all three TLEGG transcripts done so quickly?!!

 

LOL.  They are almost coming too fast for me to digest.  In any case appreciation to @DanielaS.

 

In fact this last one sounds like they just pulled a bunch of ideas written on slips of paper out of a hat.  There could seemingly be so many other priorities though in my dad's case career would fit him--he almost had to be dragged out of his doctor's office in his 80s to retire--but certainly not me or any of his five children.

 

 

 

 

 

[Luciana Flora 11,425]

Honestly it seems that my priority is none of these. And independence. It's serious, I guess I get obsessed with it sometimes.

I spent the last few years dedicating myself to getting a carreita. But I was not so worried about what career it was. It could be any one as long as it gives me enough independence to live alone. And being able to spend on things that really interest me. Like Michael teachings, for example.

Have autonomy to do this, without the authorization of my parents.

I literally forgot about everything else in my life. Including relationships. I wanted to feel capable. This has always seemed a priority to me.

[PPLD 12,099]

Money.

Career and sex are strong (sex because I'm such a guy @Matt ? ), but after contemplating what Michael said, I understand these are simply fun, while M.O.N.E.Y. is my Priority in the Old Soul distracting way.

 

The whole Priority concept with its suprisingly loose structure makes very much sense to me, and comes as an explanation to patterns I have been observing, without really being able to understand what system they belong to.

 

Except observation of myself (Money - pick any variation of the theme and I've probably been there...) I have had a few friends across the years, with recurring themes of Death. I was never able to grasp what it was about, but there was some kind of pattern. Not very obvious, not in your face, but definitely a pattern and also a certain similarity between the people. Almost like a tribe.

 

Speaking of tribe; sharing Priority within family - check! Geographically makes also sense, although I find it hard to identify the Priority for my country. 

 

Very interesting concept. Love it. 

 

Except that - the whole session is simply MIND-BLOWING!!! 

I am overwhelmed by the number of topics that easily could be explored in separate, dedicated sessions of various formats. 

 

And I am in awe of the excellence of the collaboration between Michael and @Troy. It feels like you have entered a new plateau in your partnership! 

 

Thank you so, so much, and once more thousand thanks to you @danielaS for making this gem available so soon.

So, this leads us to a point to bring to you: the cells that make up your body, everything that is a part of your body, is not there randomly. It is not there as a shifting pool of mush to represent you. These cells that are your body are in a kind of incarnation of their own with you as their universe.

 

This is where we are going with some of our deeper explorations of our teaching during this True Application, and this is something that is important to understand as you grow older in Soul Age. You are not just borrowing material from the planet and discarding it. It is choosing to be a part of you as much as you are choosing to give it form and experience and life.

 

The planet evolves from the materials or the cells and the minerals and energy that is you that you leave behind, and it moves back into the pool of the Physical Plane or Earth. It is contributing to the evolution of consciousness on the planet in general.

 

And this is a scale that we have not explored very deeply, if at all, with many of our students. But the pool of material that you draw from is in itself evolving and is choosing to be your body.

1

 

This opens a whole new realm of exploration, no doubt.

1. How cellular consciousness comes to constitute and participate in, or as, our bodily/organic/planetary existence. Consider, the physical cells of our body are constantly reproducing, living and dying, minute by minute. There is a constant turn-over of cells, tissues, and molecular substances that make up our bodies. Our cellular make-up is constantly changing.

Does every cell have a consciousness that 'continues' after apoptosis, cell death? Does that consciousness inhabit/inform another cellular 'body' akin to reincarnation?

Do cells have 'memory' and an instinctual centre that re-boots into another cellular body over and over again? Is that related to the subtle aspects of DNA?

How do the cells of the body inter-communicate to maintain the continuity of the body? 

Can we (the personality and/or essence) communicate with cells that make up the tissues and more importantly perhaps the organ systems of the body? 

I assume there must be at least an instinctual centre to every cell, hence a subtle energetic 'body"...are there other centres, ie an emotional or cognitive centre, a mind or heart as it were? 

If cells choose ...they have a kind of will...?

 

I'm sure I could think of many more questions...We need more sessions on this.

 

 

[Diane 8,095]

'A pivotal experience regarding Death, a Death in your life, sends you on a trajectory that is uniquely defined and different from the other Nine Priorities. So, the Priority of the Personality is to resolve whatever has been stamped upon the life in some way from the experience of a Death.'

 

I have no doubt that my Priority in this life is Death.  There have been many deaths over the years that have defined and changed my life.
