Polaris is a group of 4 mid-causal plane entities that have been coming through Karen and Matthew.   They consist of Michael, Seth, Robert, and Aesha. 

This was the first time they were channeled in front of a sizable group, and the response to the channeling and the energies were extremely positive - people were affected strongly simply by being in the same room.  Thank you everyone there - the questions were wonderful and appropriate. 

Here is the mp3 that you can listen to.  Simply press play: 

Transcript of the channeling (with questions) 

Good afternoon. We are here.

We are pleased to be speaking with you today. We have noticed that several of you have some curiosity about us, about who we are and about the process of us coming together that eventually evolved in us being here with you today. So we will tell you a little more about that.

As you know, we are four, yet we are one. Now, that doesn't mean that we are "reunited", but that we are acting together as one as has been previously discussed. We are four - and you are familiar with some of our more individual energies. Most of you are: you have read material, you have felt energy, you have studied our words ... you will have that familiarity with us. So we would like to tell you more about our "individuality", and we would like to tell you also about what we do as a group. We think you might find this interesting.

Many of you know the Michael aspect of us, and you know your perception, of course, of the Michael aspect of us, which is authoritative yet warm, with a dry sense of humor. You this about us. We are pleased that you know this about us. There is more to us, of course : you yourselves present a face to the public, but that is not the entirety of you. So you have not yet seen the entirety of us, and it is through our working together as a group that we hope to be able to express more of our entirety to those of you who are on the Earth plane of existence. It is not out of a need for expression, necessarily, that we hope to do this, but it is because through the entirety of us we can give more to you.  You see, it is through the entirety of you that you give more to one another. Why would we not want to express more of who we are so that you can use that energy, you can use that knowledge, you can use that humor to be more fully who you are?

It may not help for us to tell you more about our Michael aspect in terms of descriptive words. So we will allow you to take a moment and to experience what the totality of our energy feels like. That is not to say that some of you are not already aware of more of the totality of us, but we invite you now to take the opportunity to feel what we are presenting to you.

If you will close our eyes. Take a moment .... and we are here.    [silence as everyone went into a meditative state]

Let us lift that a little so that we may speak to you more. You may open your eyes. That is more of the totality of us. Those of you who are energetically sensitive felt what you felt.

Now let us move into the Seth aspect of us. (humorously) We are not as a dry as we like to make out that we are. We have a fair amount of humor, and you have likely noticed this. You have read our words. You see more than what is there on the page, do you not? You feel the love and the acceptance that comes from us. We do not - none of us do - we do not judge you in any of your conditions. We simply tell you where you are. There is no judgment in that. But we tell you where you are so that you can know more who you are. You see?

And we do not hold back when we tell you where you are, because to us it matters not. All of the lessons that you are engaged upon are beautiful to us. All of the lessons: even the painful, or horrific, or devastating lessons. They are all part of the beauty that is what happens when you are part of the Earth plane. So, we are now in our more Seth aspect, and we would like you again to feel the totality of us. So again, we will bring our energy down and you will feel what you will feel. So you may close your eyes, and we are here.

[meditative silence]

And we will lift that a bit and you may open your eyes.

Now, you are feeling energy - what does this this is tell you about who we are?  Would it not also be useful for us to explain more you? Well, the energy comes along with the words as you know!  You are - all of you - quite energetically aware. We are finding this a pleasure to interact with. Not everyone is like this, you know.

So again, moving back a bit. When each of us are in our individual aspect we are able to present, to you to those of you on the Earth plane, a portion of who we are, and we do this via sending energy through channels like the one you are looking at, who then translates this energy into words. And you know that much of our words - that is translated energy - comes across very much the same, and yet there are differences. How could there not be? We are coming through different channels, different translating devices if you will. So there are individual differences based on the channel's perceptions, based on who the channel is. We have spoken a little bit about this recently - some of you have heard this. Again, we present as much of ourselves as we can, but what comes through is a portion of who we are.

Robert is here, and would like to speak a little. Robert doesn't often speak as Robert. Robert is the dramatic one! Robert has a flair for the gesture. You may have seen these gestures.  Robert is a bit of a performer. Robert likes to talk about himself in the third person. So, you may feel some of Robert's energy now. Simply Robert - now.

[A dramatic gesture and then a meditative silence]

And Robert lifts his energy.

Robert has spoken through channels but chooses often to engage himself, if you will, in other projects.  We can speak more about of more of the projects that each of us are engaged upon in our "day-to-day lives" that may be of interest to you. But first we would like to introduce you specifically to a Aesha.  Aesha has of course been here the entire time.  Aesha has a hard time removing themselves from the totality of everything because Aesha is everywhere, and since Aesha operates simply on a vibrational level, it is difficult to to separate Aesha.  However we will do so for you now. Welcome Aesha.

[A very gentle gesture and then a meditative silence]

Now Aesha is going to step back a little to their customary position all around you.  And we will talk a little about how we came together to work as a group of four - as a quadrate.

We are engaged, as you may be aware, on multiple projects on our plane of existence. Part of our lessons we are involved in is staying in supporting the lessons that you are engaged in. So a great deal of our energy, each of us, is involved in assisting you with various aspects of your lives. Some of this comes through energetically in terms of words that you can then take, read, assimilate and bring it into your life in order to see things differently or to change your perception.

This is all very wonderful, but that is only a part of who we are, as we were explaining earlier. The larger part of what we do that affects you is simply energetic. As you know, everything is energy anyway. So why would we separate out the energetic part of ourselves that ends up in words from the energetic part of ourselves that simply surrounds you and supports you?  We are always here. We are always with you. We are always accessible to you - all of us. It is only in your minds that you need to separate our energy from yours.

Again, we will tell you how we came together to work as a group. But first we will tell you more of what we do on a day-to-day level.

As we were saying, we are engaged on in supporting you in your efforts. We have existed on your plane of existence and we have experience about that. We have since expanded our perception because of our growth into other planes of existence, and it is through our larger (if you will) perception that we are able to assist you with yours. So that is very much what we do. However there are plenty of mid-causal plane lessons that we are engaged upon learning ourselves.  Another great part of our energy is engaged in making in our way through our causal plane lessons, just as you are making your way through your physical plane lessons. Because of our wider perspective, though, we are able to divert much of our energy to your exploits in your lives and your well-being, while at the same time we are tending to ours. If you will think of us as similar to what a teacher or parent is in your perspective, where you are at once yourselves and at the same time you are assisting someone with their own lessons, this is much like how we operate.

Many times through our own causal plane lessons we try new things, just as you try new ways of approaching your own challenges that arise within the context of your lifetime. For some time now we have been working on various ways of moving through certain causal plane challenges, and we determined that in order to do so successfully that it was necessary to revisit some of what we have done before. All of you do this in the Michael Teachings system. Many of you are looking at lessons particular to a certain soul age level. But yet you visit lessons and opportunities that are typically associated with a different soul age level. So this is much like what we are doing now. We are revisiting some of the realities of where you are, but seeing them through our wider perspective.

(humorously)  We're sitting around with a cigar and a drink, thinking "how can we do this?" And we decided that it was a lot of fun interacting with you folks in the past -  so why don't we get together and see what that feels like doing it as a group?  We are all used to interacting with the Earth plane and physical plane separately, if you will, even though our awareness of separateness is different from your awareness of separateness.  So we decided to come together and to work together in this way. There is a certain amount of information that we are interested in passing along to you, and that is what we are engaged in doing.

After this information is passed along, will we still work together? Probably! Isn't there an infinite amount of information that we could possibly pass along to you?  Well, in some ways, yes, and many of you have remarked that upon of the spiritual information coming through multiple sources is simply different ways of saying the same thing over and over.  So all of us - and we say all of us we mean the collective everyone - on the causal plane is a very interested in assisting those of you on the Earth plane because this assist us.

There are many of us are beyond the four that you were speaking to now that are transmitting a great deal of energy in your direction. This is resulting in a similar message coming through in many different ways, and we've been doing this for some time - all of us - and so you will notice things almost being repeated. Well, it's not for the sake of repetitiveness, it's for the sake of reaching different people at their own right moment in their own right way. There is no right way of sending this message - it is simply there. All of us on the causal plane are very interested in helping you be more of You, and there are almost an infinite number of ways of helping you do this. It's up to who you are in your perception as to what works for you in terms of what you can hear and what you can then take with you. It matters not to us.

Again, we are in our experimental mode and we are having a great deal of fun with this and we look forward to speaking to many more of you in the future.

We have told you a little bit about us and we anticipate that you may have questions. There is of course much more to tell, so we will invite your questions now.

Questions and Answers 

Question: When each of the four energies came in, I immediately got 4 distinct colors, one for each entity. The energies just manifested as colors. Would they say this is how the energy appears or is it just one different way of interpreting it?

Energy can be interpreted in a variety of ways, and we were having some difficulty last night, expressing what our perception is on the causal plane.  We were expressing it in terms of vibration, but we were also expressing it in terms of color, and certainly on the physical plane level, there is a direct correlation between color and frequency of vibration. You can think of this as a spectrum of light,  if you will, which is a type of energy, a type of vibration and each color vibrates at a slightly different rate.  As you are visually oriented as well is emotionally oriented, then this was a meaningful way for you to interpret our energy. We would not say that it is the only way to interpret our energy, but it is an extremely useful way to interpret it, and we are pleased that we were able to a project energy in such a way that it became visually meaningful to you.

Question: I was wondering, you said you are a teacher and you can tell us where we are in our existence - do you have a teacher?

We have many teachers. Ironically you are our teachers even though you have less (maybe) than awareness of this, but we learn through you, not only because of your physical plane experience but because you are also involved on much more than the physical plane. So you are part of our teacher also.

But there are more formal teachers for us?  Absolutely.   Everyone - at any level - is always be engaged in supporting the efforts of those involved in other levels of experience.  So yes, we do have teachers.  We are sometimes feeling nudged ourselves!   (laughter)  We our share of difficulties as well with our own experiential challenges.  To you we seem excessively wise and "all knowing" and have this wonderful wide perspective, but we have times of feeling very small as well, because we have this wider knowledge of All That Is, and we know that we are that and we are also "not quite that".  There is a level of (you might feel it as ) frustration at times.  We don't have the sense of time impatience that you do, but we are aware of all that goes on at all times. Again, we suffer our share of difficulties or resistances, we will say, to our own experiential challenges.

Question: Is there any other way of thinking about energy except in terms of energy and vibrational rate. What is energy? Is there any other way of defining it except in those terms?

We would like to offer you an analogy. This may take some time.

Imagine if you will, that you are standing on the beach. You are barefoot. You feel the sand beneath you. The sand has been warmed by the Sun. So the sand contains the essence of the Sun, the energy of the sun. You feel that in your feet. It is quite hot. It is starting to become uncomfortably hot. You are feeling a great deal of energy coming up through the soles of your feet and you are looking around now for some shade, or to see if you can make it to the water's edge where it is cooler because this energy is now coming up through your feet at such a rate that it's quite uncomfortable. There are those of you who experience energy on a very physical level, so thinking about it in terms of vibration is an intellectual exercise that is almost meaningless. You need to feel it!

We would like, then, for you to think about energy in terms of how it makes you feel. There are those of you who can feel energy in your hair!  Hair sort of feels lifeless to some of you, but to others it is something with a consciousness of its own, for indeed it has a consciousness - every part of your body has one. So if every part of your body has a consciousness, then every part of your body can feel energy, and every part of your body then deals with slightly differently because each part of your body is of composed of something slightly different.  You may want to think about energy in terms of what you might feel on your skin, versus what you might feel on a heart level, versus what you might feel on a gut level, versus what you might feel in your hair, or any part of you.

That is what we would like to impart to you.  Because everything is energy, it can be experienced by you on the physical plane in a variety of ways, and there is no one way to do so.  So if you are comfortable experiencing energy as color, then that is what works for you.  If you are comfortable experiencing energy as the physical sensation, then that is what works for you.  If you experience energy as something that you translate in your head as words, or thoughts, or pictures, then of course that is what works for you.  Because the physical plane is confined to form and time, it is difficult to experience energy on any other basis.

Think about that.  The physical plane is nothing but form: three dimensions, as well as time.  Energy, therefore, like everything that you experience, can only be experienced - truly known by you - on that basis. There is no judgment attached when we say this.  It is simply a fact of the reality in which you exist.

So when we talk about energy as a vibration, that's not necessarily something that you can really wrap your mind around, that you can really feel that you are experiencing.  So you have to make experiencing of energy a very personal matter. It takes really knowing who you are to know how you experience energy.  And each one of you are going to experience it slightly differently. What is true for you is not the same as it is for another.  Have we answered your question?  (yes)

Question: The energy is so strong for me. I almost feel like I'm going to faint—it's way stronger than it was last night. So I'll try to make sense.

I wanted to ask: there are many people in this world now that say that the vibration of our physical plane is changing rapidly, elevating, and the veil (or whatever you want to call it) between our world and other dimensions is becoming thinner and easier to transgress. Do you on the mid-causal plane experience any difference in this energy shift when interacting with the channels here, if the shift is in fact happening. And can you talk about also where the shift is going in our world? What will eventually happen? How will our experience with other dimensions change?

As you  - on your planet collectively - move through your experiential growth lessons, it does affect the overall vibration that surrounds you in terms of the energy that is of your planet. So we would say that, yes, that rate of vibration has been changing. It will continue to change.

Now has the rate of this vibrational change increased lately?  Well we would say that, as we were saying earlier, there's been a great deal of energy transmitted toward the physical plane. There is no "grand design" to do anything in particular with this.  It is simply part of the agreement that you all hold. you understand.  There is a collective global agreement to move things along at a different rate.   This is something that all of you are taking part in.   Every one of you - not just in this room, but globally - you have a collective agreement to make some changes that affect your planet. This will have a variety of effects. So,e of you are becoming impatient with your lessons. Some of you would like to see more things happen.

We do expect there to be a continuing snowball effect of of an increased level of movement. This is partly due to the the effects of momentum as you collectively move on through your experiential growth lessons.  In other words, through the soul age.  You become interested in having different kinds of experiences collectively, as a whole.  So if the overall vibratory rate of all of you is centered around relationship issues, as opposed to issues of acquisition and power (you see where we are headed with this?), if collectively you were mostly interested in relationship issues, then that will have a marked effect on how your world looks.

It will change your economic basis.  It will change how you interact with one another on many levels.  It will change your political systems.  It will change your attention to the environment. In other words, it will change every single aspect of life as you know it.

How long will this take? When we talk about things speeding up, we're talking in a relative basis.  Most of you in this room have noticed a significant change within your lifetime.  Some of you are sensitive to changes in energy. So on that basis we have to say yes. Now, will most of you see a marked change in the way you live your lives within the course of your lifetime? Probably not - unless you make specific choices to do so.  However, interestingly enough, the pathways are opening up, more now than they have been, for you to be able to make those kinds of choices. 

If, for instance, you are interested in intentional communal living, there will be more choices available to you in this lifetime for you to experiment with.  That it is just one example, but overall, worldwide, would there be a large change within the context of your lifetimes in terms of day-to-day living and how they are lived?  Not likely, but there is always change.

So we've answered part of your question, we were asking if you would like some follow-up?

Response: yes - about the opening up to causal plane connections

A very simple answer to that would be yes, but here's what is taking place: there is more overall openness to other energies beyond that of the Self. In other words, overall, on a global level, there is more and more openness to energy such as ours.  So it makes our job easier.  It just means that there is more connection, you see, because there is more openness to that connection.  The energy that is being transmitted has not changed, and has always been there. It simply has been connected with on a different basis in the past.  There have been other periods in human history where there was a great deal of connection, such as there is beginning to be now. So this is not the only time in human history that there is been this level of mid-causal energy affecting things on the physical plane.  This has happened several times in the course of human history and some of you were there when that was happening!  Some of you remember on some level what that was like, and some of you were involved with it. So there is a familiarity there for you.

Question: I feel a distinct energy change. It just changed now. It's very different from before.  Whoever it was, it felt like a very distinct energy change.  Does that show who it is that was coming through?

You have all felt our individual energy, and more of the totality of us.  So those of you who are very sensitive to how energy feel in your body will have awareness, yes.  Now do we do this to them to play with you?  Well, yeah!

(laughter and a comment)

That is correct.  We also do it to bring forth more of who we are.  We are all expressive beings - just like yourselves.   It's not that we are fighting among ourselves, "oh, who gets the microphone?"  It's more of "who needs to be present with that energy at that moment?"

But yes you did notice a shift in energy, and it did occur at that moment. It is good that you brought that up!

Question: Where is Karen now?

Karen likes to think that she's here.   A part of her is.  She's not aware of what we're about say - or she hasn't been aware of that up till this moment.  Karen is right now reclining on a very comfortable bed. Somewhere up in the clouds, it feels like, although a part of her is very present here.  There is a good deal of her just having a nice rest right now.

  Are there any other questions?

Question:  It seems to me that all my life I have felt out of place in some way.  I'm wondering if this is because my soul age (though I'm still a mature soul), because I'm ahead of the wave on this planet.  Or is it because I'm in a life of growth and having a difficult time?  Do people who are way ahead of the curve ever feel comfortable?  Or people who are way behind the curve, do they feel comfortable? Can I feel comfortable?  I would like to feel comfortable on this plane and I would like to have that experience!

There are a number of answers to this question.  We'll take them individually.

Regarding you yourself: you made a number of pre-incarnational choices to experience things in a certain way, from a certain perspective.  And part of the perspective that you chose in this lifetime was one of isolation, one of not fitting in.

Now, a number of you have made similar choices in your lives.  This is not an easy choice by any means, but it is a choice that moves you into the opportunity of making certain choices in your lives, of drawing to you certain experiences that you have chosen in order to manifest the Self that you most wanted to be in this lifetime.  There are a large number of those on various spiritual paths who have intentionally created situations like that for themselves happening at this time.  Now, why would you do this, other than to learn a lesson:  "Well, okay, that sounds a little painful, and I can sort of understand that -  but I why now?  Why so many of us?" 

You touched on part of this.  There is a momentum, in fact, that takes place.  We have spoken before in other venues about how and when you have an interaction—any interaction, even something in passing with someone else—,because you are who you are, however that is manifesting at that moment, you have an effect on a person or in that. group that you are connecting with.  And they take a little bit of who you are with them forever.  It changes them forever.  So, then, why would this sense of isolation and being out of step with everyone else help on a more widespread communal level?  How could that help? 
 

This is how we see it. We don't like to put it as something 'sacrificial', but in effect, it is almost that.  Many of you - a great number of you, and we say this collectively in addition to those of you in this room - have made choices to intentionally isolate yourselves to some extent from community inasmuch as you desire it, inasmuch as you desire to feel a part of something.  Because sometimes when you are kept from something that your heart really wants, you strive harder to make it happen.  And what you are creating through this pain is a greater overall community.  Again, 'sacrificial' is too strong a word and too imbued in cultural martyrdom, but you intentionally created a situation where you could create community among you that would not have existed were you not compelled to make the choices, from pain, that you have made in this lifetime. 

Now, is there a way to make a similar choice through joy -- yes!  But sometimes you wouldn't see it.  So it is very intentional, what many of you are doing.  And lest you think that your efforts are not noticed or felt by anyone else, let us tell you that everything you have done in your lifetime up to this moment has been felt by the entire world. You are that important.  You have that great an effect on the entire global community of the human population.  Each one of you, simply by living your life and being who you are.

Do we expect more of you making similar choices?  Yes, this will occur for some time, in our perception of what we can see happening for your future.  It is part of a cycle of choices.  In other words, there are certain thematic lifetime, choices are made on a cyclical basis, and there will continue to be a lot of incarnations into lifetime similar to the ones that you are feeling - slightly out of step.  And again, it is simply to help move others along to help create this global community.  Because one day, perhaps the next time you incarnate, things will appear very different.  They will feel very different and you will enjoy some of what you are creating now.

(Response:  What was I thinking?)  (laughter) 

Question: I was wondering with your experiments on the physical plane, were you focusing more on just the Earth?

No.  Earth is a very small part,  as you know, of the physical plane.  You are living lifetimes on other Earth-plane worlds, and your energy is everywhere, just as ours is.  And yes, we - our little group as well as the collective causal plane - is transmitting a great deal of energy to the physical plane as a whole.  While we would say some of the "experimental nature" is centered on Earth at this time, there are similar experiments occurring on various plane worlds on at the same time.   It of course would look different: the transmission process is very different depending on the species that we are working with.  But it is essentially a means of support and helping others to move through their own lessons.  Of course other worlds on the physical plane aren't in the same "place" that Earth is at this point.  There are different ways of connecting with different worlds on the physical plane.

So in some ways our answer is, no, the Earth is the only one.  And in some ways, the answer is yes: there is much more happening throughout the physical plane serve.  In some ways, you are quite unique.  We would say that the exact way that we are working with you all now is unique to the Earth, but there are other ways that we work with other worlds also on the physical plane. 

Question: Could you say more about this global community and what it will look like in the future?

Some of you are aware that there is a network among you on Earth.  In other words, there are energetic connections between you and among you.  Some of you have specific conscious connection to others across the globe and others who are not incarnate at this time, and there are connections among you through awareness.  There are also connections that exist among you on a less than conscious awareness level.  We would say that there has been an increase in conscious connection.  There has been an increase in the rate and the energy expended toward the less than conscious connection. 

So this "global community":  part of it is (currently anyway) simply that there is more awareness of the oneness of it all.  This message, you see, is being repeated throughout many spiritual traditions, through many teachers, all at the same time, and it is making its way into being assimilated on a cellular level by more and more people all the time. What we see eventually occurring on your planet, and we spoke about some of the momentous changes that will likely be occurring in your world , would be more of the conscious recognition of the oneness.

This would be on a day to day basis. You would begin to be making choices with the knowledge of the connection that you hold with everyone on your planet, as well as everyone based on your planet who is not presently in a body.  So again, we spoke about economic changes,  political changes environmental changes: those are just a few.  Every decision, every choice that you make, would be made with this greater awareness.  Not every person will be doing this on a conscious level, but the level of overall energetic connection will be greater so that there is both a more conscious awareness of the oneness, and more choices that are made on a less than conscious level but still with that connection in mind.  Because, you see, you have this global consciousness and more of you will be tapped into that.  And that is what we mean by the community that you are creating: an overall change in the global consciousness of everyone associated with your planet.

Question: I've been struggling with trying to make sense with some of the spiritual teachings I've read and I'm hoping you can help me with this.  I struggle with a lot of waste energy.   I very much do my best to change the world to something better in this life.  Suffering captures my attention:  war, hunger and social wrongs.  The Abraham teachings say that the greatest good that I can do in this world is to live in peace and joy and give no attention to those issues.  My nature is to wave a flag and confront those issues and change them.  I can't make sense of those teachings and I don't know how to approach this.

This is the truth of those teachings.  In other words, the greatest good that you can do on a community level is to be at peace with who you are.  But first you must find out who you are.  If the true manifestation of you is to create intervention to things that cause you emotional pain, then you need to be that!  If the true manifestation of who you are is simply to be at peace in your world, then that is what you need to be doing.  We encourage you at all times to maintain as strong a connection as you can with who you are, and what you manifest, what of yourself that you can present to the world and be that.   Because every interaction that you have where you are as much of you as you can be is an interaction that will forever change that other person, or that group, or that community, or that idea.  You see, you simply just need to be who you are.

Question: I know that Michael incarnated on this Earth.  What about the other entities?  Did they incarnate here? 

As you are aware, there are parallels to Earth itself.  There are other worlds, but you do that you exist on as a parallel to Earth.  Our interpretation is that the majority of the beings who are now comprised as Robert, for instance, were incarnating on an Earth parallel.  The majority of the beings who are now comprised as Seth are not from in an Earth world, but had their lives on a similar Earth-plane world. It wasn't even exactly a planet. It was a "reality".  There were some similarities to what you are experiencing now, yet in your terms it would be difficult for you to recognize that Seth physical plane reality as a reality that you would experienced.  Some of you took some shamanic journeys this morning and some of what some of you were seeing was similar to the reality experienced by the Seth individuals.  Aesha has existed primarily on an energetic basis for, in your perception, a very long time and Aesha has been through the cycle of incarnation, but in a world and a reality very different to what it is that you experience.  Yes, all of us have been through the incarnational cycle.  All of us have experienced physical plane reality.  But without looked very different to what you would expect in terms of a physical plane reality.

Question: You say more about grand cycles and about other planets which have other types of learning experiences?  I've heard that the purpose of incarnation on Earth is to learn Love - or to experience the conflict between love and fear and to eventually resolve this into Love. what would be some of the experience on different planets and different incarnational cycles?

From our perspective the incarnational cycle is essentially identical bo matter what reality it is based in.  The overall overarching lessons, if you will, are more or less the same.  It is just a matter of how those lessons look and feel.  It is a difference between, say, going to a public elementary school ,as opposed to a Waldorf school, as opposed to a bilingual school.  There are different ways of learning essentially the same information.  They both get you into college eventually, but they are going to look and feel and sound very different while you're moving through them.  The "Love lesson" that you spoke of: that is a universal lesson.  It has been a simplified so that it is something that is understandable on the on the physical plane.  It is difficult to look at things in this non-dual fashion because you are used to seeing things as either they are or they are not .  So it is difficult to think of love and fear is really part of the same.   It really is all about Love.  So we would say that the lesson that you are all Love, that you are all the Tao,  you are all everything is the lesson of the physical plane - no matter on what kind of world it is played out in.

Comment:  why here?  (bemoaningly)

(laughter)  Different schools for different folks!

Question: Are there many planets that are similar to ours in terms of physical makeup?

Besides the Earth-parallels there are a number of realities and worlds that have some similarities.  Yours is a popular choice in some ways in terms of the diversity of life that exists on your planet and the dual nature of how you perceive things.  This duality is not necessarily experienced on every physical plane world.  It is an elementary (in some ways) way of looking at things, and most incarnational beings like to experience the concreteness of what it is that you see in your world. There are many other choice, it is almost like different vacation destinations, with yours maybe being like the peace corps where you go to work, and there are others that may be are thought of as more relaxing and fun.   They are all, again, about the same lessons.  It's just how you learn them or how you look at them.  So, yes, there are several other world-realities that are similar to yours.  We said it was popular, but we did not really mean that it was populous in terms of the overall makeup of all the physical plane worlds.  We would say that the majority of them than look quite different from yours.

Question: The Earth is a few billion years old and humans have pnly been on the Earth for a relatively short time.  Has the Earth ever been populated with other sentient energies?

Yes, there was a purely energetic species that was experimenting with a existence here.  They were here for some time and decided collectively to go elsewhere.  It left a bit of a vacuum for a time in terms of an energetic presence and then it was decided collectively by all of you with your humanness to attempt to populate this world.  So yes, there was another species here. 

Conclusion

We are going to say a few more words, and then we will conclude for today.

We have been talking to you about a variety of things.  We had the pleasure of telling you how we came to be and how we came to be speaking to you today, and it is our pleasure to be connecting with each of you this afternoon.  

We would like for you to take something from this talk that we've been having, and if you take one thing from this talk we would like you to take with you the concept that you are having in an effect on everyone around you at all times.  You are changing lives simply by being who you are.  And the more you can be who you are, the more effect you will have on those around you.

And this is a gift of being on the physical plane. This is how you manifest Love into your world, and for us, watching you do this is a beautiful, joyous process, and we are so very pleased to be a part of it.  

You give to us as much or more as we attempt to give to you.  And that is the message that we wish for you to take with you today. 

It has been our pleasure to speak with you and we look forward to connecting with you again in the future.

  Thank you.

Transcript of the channeling (with questions) 

This was transcribed.  If you notice any errors in this, please contact Karen!    (This was first run through a voice recognition software, which tends to be bad with punctuation.)

Good Evening.  We are pleased to be among you this evening. 

 We notice our past associations with a good number of you, even a good number of you who are not consciously  aware of this.   We are pleased to be speaking to all of you together in a group.  We realize that because you have a varying degree of familiarity with some of the material we  have presented over the past 30 years or so, that there is still quite a bit that we can talk about with you tonight that has no necessary basis on that material.  It is not necessary that there be a foundation of anything that came before this, for what we give you tonight is a gift, an exchange, some information on what is best suited for those who are here this evening. 

You may wonder how this process works.  How did you, Michael, know who would be here tonight? How did you know what to speak on?  We talked about some of these concepts before, where we are aware of your projected path through life.  You, the greater you, also has a sense of your projected path through life.  You also know when there are various decision-making points,  that arise in your lifetime and you are constantly, even throughout the course of the day,  making choices, making decisions, even though you don't necessarily realize it.  You may feel you are being propelled along a path.  You go to a job, you go home, you eat, you sleep. These are all things you feel you must do. 

However, there are still choices to be made even within that framework, so we are aware of who had intention to come here this evening.  We are aware of potential issues that are plaguing you or that are on your mind or that are going to come up for you.  We are aware of your past.  We are aware of your dream life.  We are aware of the inner part of you.  We have awareness of all of this at all times.  Now, on  certain levels.  So do you all; all of you possess this awareness, even when you are not consciously aware. 

Tonight's Message 

The message we would like to bring to you tonight, is about awareness. We've been speaking in a general way of what you hold awareness of, and what we hold awareness of and we would like to bring to you tonight, some tools that will help you become more consciously aware of who you are, and where you are headed in a given moment.  What can this do for you. Well, for one thing, those of you who spend a great deal of time and energy pondering your potential futures, you have decisions to make. You have choices to make. You see a lot of potential paths and you don't know which ones to choose. By being aware of who you are and where you may be headed for the future, you can more consciously make choices that will allow you to manifest  the kind of lives that you are truly choosing on a conscious and aware level.

 Now, likely you have been accessing similar types of information.  The train of thought and teachings known as the Abraham-Hicks teachings, The Secret, etc., teaches a lot about consciousness and awareness.  So we bring to you some similar gifts but perhaps a different angle, a different way of looking at this. We would like to bring your attention to what your awareness can be in a given moment, versus what it typically may be in a given moment, and there is no judgment attached.  There is no right or wrong.  There are simply greater or lesser degrees of consciousness in your choice making and in our experience, from our perspective. 

The more consciously you can make the choices that impact your  life, the more closely you are aligned with that inner core of yourself, and the more joyfully you can live your life.  This is something that is of benefit, and the more joyfully you live your life, the more you bring your own inner self to every interaction that you have, including those with yourself, the more you assist everyone else.  So the more of you that you bring out to the world, to every interaction, the more you allow others to do the same thing.  The more you are aware of every moment of your life, the more you assist others in doing this very same thing. 

From our perspective, what we see your perspective as, is based on the reality in which you live. Now, that reality is comprised of limitations because of the nature of the earth plane that is your home.  There is form to it, dimension. There is time associated with it and  you perceive this in a linear fashion, now again, there is no judgment attached to this, but we don't see things the way  you do and we understand the necessary limitations that you experience.  Simply because you are almost forced to observe your life through this framework of linearness and form. Where we live such things don't exist.  We see the limitlessness of All That Is. This is partly why we are able to see you in your entirety right now, we are able to see your potential futures, we are able to see all your past.  We are able to see the inner part of you, we are able to see your fears and your hopes and your joys, all right now.

What we are giving to you tonight are ways to more easily access some of that for yourself. 

Again, our perception of your perception is that you are confined to some degree.  There is a great deal of choice, however but you are confined to some degree to the form and the linearness of the earth plane that you occupy and because of that it is difficult to see the infinity that exists within all of you. Now our perception, is of course as we said, wider than this.  We see the limitlessness that exists within each of you now. How can we bring some of that to you?  Well, we can tell you about it, and certainly you can think about it and you can say, "well, yes that makes sense" or "no, I don’t quite get that", but it doesn’t bring the experience to you. 

Visualization Journey 

We would like to take you on a brief journey with us right now, and to help assist you with visualizing how this might be, so if you will close your eyes and take a deep breath or two and imagine you are floating.  You are not floating in water, you are floating in space. All about you, is space.  Off in the distance, you see a planet, you see stars. The  quiet, where you are is amazing. You hear nothing but your own heart beat, your own breath.  You are floating peacefully and gently and you feel, very safe floating in this limitless space.  Your mind however, wants to create edges around the space. It wants to hold you in somewhat,  wants to see the darkness around you that has an occasional star in it, as perhaps a backdrop or wall and, well,  move beyond that, if you can, say to yourself; no, there is no backdrop or wall there, it is  all just more space.

Allow yourself the freedom as you’re floating in the limitlessness, to begin to move about and you begin to move about within this space. You can move yourself in any direction that you please, you see off to the right, a star, a little brighter than the other stars and you're attracted to the star.  You allow yourself to begin float off in this direction. 

Now you notice yourself moving faster and faster.  Pretty soon you notice you are really moving fast through this space and there are stars whizzing by you at enormous speed and you are pleased at the rate of speed at which you are able to move through this limitless space and you decide to speed up a little more because you like this feeling of motion, you like this feeling of speed and you speed up even more and by this point you will have gone past that star you are going to see because you are enjoying the feeling of speed and movement through this limitless space.   Imagine that you would do this at the same rate of speed for the rest of your life.  Imagine that you have already done this.

Now, in your imagination you have already reached the end point of your life and you have been traveling at the same great rate of speed, through the limitlessness of space all this time.  It still  looks the same, there is no ending to it. That; is the feeling then, that we wish you to take with you.  The feeling that there is always something more out there.  There is no limitation. You can take that right now.  Take all that sky that’s around you, fold it up, place it in your heart.

You find yourself back in your seat and you may open your eyes and take a deep breath. 

You've been on a journey, so, what has this done for you?  Well, you've just received a glimpse at the enormity of possibilities.  And when you are aware of the enormity of possibilities that exist for you in each and every moment of your life then your energy begins to focus on them, and when your energy is beginning to focus on the enormity of all the possibilities that exist for you in each and every moment of your life, you can be more present in each and every moment of your life.  In every moment, you have a limitless number of choices you are not limited by the confines of the form and the linearness of  the earth plane in which you live.  That is simply how you see things.  It is not the totality of the reality.  In other words, what you see as three-dimensional form and the fourth dimension of time is really just a construct of the reality in which you live and the complete reality encompasses so much more. 

Again, when you are aware, at any given moment in your life that you have an on unending number of choices to make, it begins to give each moment additional significance.  So, I could  pull up to the parking lot, go into the store and order a coffee or I could drive to the airport get on an airplane and go to India.  Now going to India may not be a practical choice for you, but it is still a choice. You may not have the money to get on a plane and go to India today, but there are other options. They may not be attractive.  It may involve stopping on the way to rob a bank.  It may involve making a phone call to ask your great uncle, who you've never seen in 20 years for money, but they are still choices.  They just may not be attractive ones. 

Do you see now how in every moment you do have a limitlessness in the possibilities that exist for you in that moment?  It frees you when you won’t feel confined by the life that you have carved out for yourself.  You begin to see that you are choosing your life.  You can find joy in those choices, even when you feel constricted by them you realize that at essence, you are choosing this and that you could choose something else if you wanted, that then allows joy into each and every moment.  You could get on that plane and go to India, or you could just have a coffee and you could enjoy that coffee or throw it out the window.  But either way, you can have joy in that moment. 

Now we have spoken for a while we are not finished, but we would like to know at this point, if there any questions? 

Question: What is the purpose of this human plane?  Why are we here right now?

It’s a very important question.  The short answer is that one of the choices that you have made along the way in coming to be here where you are now is choosing to be in a body and have this experience and to understand what it is to be on this earth plane and to interact with other people.  The main thing that you are getting from being on this earth plane is learning how to deal with the fact that you are not connected to All That Is, learning how to understand that you are connected to All That Is - but within the confines of being separate because you're in a body and you do this through interaction with other people.  If there were not other people, if you were simply alone, it would take all lot longer to get to where you are today.  You can have interaction with yourself and you do on a regular basis, but you learn so much more by interacting with others. 

It's ironic that to learn that you are indeed connected to All That Is, that you choose to separate yourself from that awareness.  So by bringing yourself conscious into every moment of your life you do bring yourself steps closer to that awareness that you are indeed connected to everything, to All That Is, at all times.  But if you had that awareness at all times?  Well, on the earth plane it would be immensely distracting; you would simply be unable to have the kinds of interactions with other people, with yourself and feel all that you need to in order to experience all that there is to experience on the earth plane.  There is a limitless number of possibilities to experience on this plane, and while it can seem confining, it can seem frustrating, it can seems maddening sometimes, there is also an incredible amount of beauty here. 

Where else but on the physical plane can you reach out and physically touch someone and feel what that feels like?  We do not have that capacity.  We remember. It's been a while since we've been in a body.  We can connect with you and into your body (sort of) and through that we can touch another, but it's not the same as you because you are present in that moment touching someone.  Where else can you eat a strawberry?  Where else can you feel the sun shine on you and feel that wondrous warmth?  Where else can you feel warm sand underneath your feet?  These are all very real physical plane experiences. It is part of the wonder and the joy and the beauty of it. 

We see wonder and joy and beauty and experiences that you likely do not perceive as beautiful.  We see joy and beauty in every experience of the physical plane, and, when you have experienced all of them by being on the physical plane lifetime after lifetime and interacting with people in a variety of different situations, then eventually when you are finished with that, you will see the beauty to all the experiences you’ve had, even the ones that were immensely uncomfortable while you are having them. 

Does that answer your question? Are there any other questions?

Question: We have no idea what your day to day activities are like or how you experience life.  Apart from interacting with us, what is your day to day life like?  How do you experience life - is it purely in terms of vibration?  What is your experience of us?  What is it you do?

Another very good question. The channel is  particularly interested in this information actually.  It is difficult to put our experiences into words that translate into experiences  that you have.

But understanding these limitations,  most of our experience is on a vibrational level.  You understand that everything is energy and  the way you experience energy, is because of the the earth plane that you live on and it distills the energy into these interesting forms that create sound and color and a form.  All of that is energy, but our experience of energy is, for lack of a better term, at it’s purest level.  So there is no associated sound or form or even color.  However, we like the analogy of color very much so, we can express ourselves to you now by, again using the analogy that what we experience is color.  

We have a remembrance of being on the physical plane and that aids us in our experience, on our own plane.  So using this analogy of color, if you were bathing in an ocean that was not made of water, but was made instead of color, and you saw your body move through these colors and how it would be affected by it. Now imagine it is not a liquid, it’s a color (it's a little difficult) but your bathing in a pool of pure color and the color changes, depending on the energy that's attached to it.  So if we are interacting with part of ourselves or another mid-causal teaching entity, say, we would experience that as a certain kind of a color (a pattern almost of color waves), but there are so many more dimensions to it because there would be thought and emotion and and intuition also connected with those colors.  So it would be as if you had all your senses and then added seven more on top and that is what we experience.

Our experience of you is actually much the same as you are beings of energy, and we see you as you are, but we also see you as we view one another in terms of our day to day life.  We are involved simultaneously and on a number of levels, on a number of different projects, because we are not confined by the linearness of time.  We are able to multitask, if you will, quite a bit. Sometimes we divide ourselves up into segments who is each working on various things, but you know that we are able to come through multiple channels all simultaneously and there is plenty left over.  We also have a number of projects that we are involved with.  We perform teaching for beings, similar to yourselves and that are also on the physical plane, however, they don't bear any physical resemblance to you and we’re constantly involved in that.  We are also being taught much as you are by other beings who have a wider perspective than ours is, and we are learning about those perspectives as well.  We are involved  in all of this on a simultaneous basis.

We can create an analogy for you, that might help you understand what our day to day existence is like. Let’s say that you could create a layer that would be kindergarten and first grade, second-grade, third-grade etc., all sitting on top of one another, all up through however much education you’ve had plus on top of that, all the experience you've ever had with anything in your life, all the interactions you’ve had, with yourself with anyone else and then also on top of that would be all of your past life experiences, all of your past life academic education, of your past life interactions and you compress all that into one layer and then you punch out a piece of it and, that is what we’re doing right now in terms of our interaction with you.  But we have all these other compressed layers of experience that is also what we are, right now at this moment, and it also includes all the futures that we will ever have and all our existences.  On all the other physical plane worlds, if you will.  All of that is compressed into this one very dense layer of experience.

Have we answered your question?  Are there any other questions? 

Question: There seems to be such a vastness in the choices we can make.  How do we choose the choices?  Or does it make a difference?

So if you are able to see in a given moment the limitlessness of the possibilities that are open to you...

The problem is how to choose wisely.  Well, we've told you the simple part - or at least the simplistic part - that if you are more conscious of all the choices you have in a given moment, then that gives you the freedom to experience the joy that comes along with each of the choices.  There is still the concern of "but how do I make the right choice, which is right?  Which one do I really want?" 

So that is when you bring in self-knowledge.  The more you know who you are, the more you allow the totality of you to manifest, the more you are aligned at any given moment with what you want on an inner-core-of-Self basis. Getting there is easy to say, but can be complicated to do. 

All of you are on a path now of inner knowledge, of self exploration.  And all of you in every moment are acquiring experience that allows you to know your Self better.   So all of you are preparing yourself in every given moment to get better and better at making conscious choices. 

A choice, and a very valid one, would be to say, "I don’t want to make a conscious choices!"    Maybe you wouldn't do this on a conscious level, but part of you is the saying this:  "no, I’d rather be blind and  asleep through my life, and I just want to let things happen to me" -  and all of you know people like this. 

Again, there's no judgment attached to it but  for those of you who really want to be awake and aware, it’s frustrating because you know it's out there yet you can't really see, and that can be frustrating.  Many times people have wished for a crystal balls so that they can only see what is going to happen in the future.  We can give you some tips perhaps, that may help you determine which of the choices that you see are available to you would be best for you.  Again, the most important thing is to acknowledge the limitlessness of choices that are available to you and then you start to weed through them mentally.  But you're doing this while being as open to them as you can, so there's a bit of an incongruity there.  

You're weeding through them mentally, while remaining open to all other possibilities at the same time and you start following the thread of each one energetically. You start following it into the future somewhat, and you start to let yourself see, "what might happen?  What could happen if I made this choice?"  

If you are open to really being in touch with who you are, and really understanding what your possible blocks may be to looking at certain situations in your life.  If you are really on the road to being in touch with yourself you will start to see as you look down the roads of each of these potential paths what indeed might happen.  And you start to allow yourself to feel, "well, how do I feel about this?"  You can look at all the horrible things that might happen as a result of some of the choices that you might make and you say, "Well how do I really feel about this? Would this really be so awful or could I live with this, could I be okay with it?"  And the more okay you are to - even the horrible sounding choices - the more freedom you give yourself to really find the right choice. It takes work and it takes self-knowledge and it takes really being open to all the potentials that do exist. 

Even while you're sifting through them at the same time, so if it sounds like it takes a lot of inner work and inner knowledge and etc. and oh that’s so far beyond me and I'm not sure if I can do that.  That's a valid thought, but ,we tell you that we would not be telling you this information if we did not know that each one of you in this room is fully capable of doing this process as we have described it:.  Yes, fully capable of being aware of the limitlessness of the choices that exist for you in a given moment and fully capable of following the threads of these potential choices and choosing the one that really makes you happy.   All of you know inside what brings you joy, and these are the choices that you will begin to manifest for yourself as long as you continue to be as open as you can be to all the possibilities that exist.

One way to do this, to know if you're doing it, is when you come upon a time in your life where you feel there is a choice upon you. There is a choice needing to be made, and instead of saying, well, I can do A or B, go through the rest of the alphabet.  Look for a C, a D, an F and a G. Look for all the other possibilities - and the more you look for, the more you will find. You may discard some of them and some may sounds ridiculous - and that might be the one to look at, and say,  you know,  "What about this feels  ridiculous to me? What would I be limiting myself to?  I didn't choose this? How would it look if I really did wear this choice?"  So, the more you do that, the more you open yourself up to all the possibilities that exist and the more you find joy in the choices that you do make. 

Again, all of you, each of you has this ability right now.  There is nothing further that you need to do all of you are doing work all the time to get to know who you are on a deeper and more consciously aware level.  There is not a ‘some day’ involved to be able to make good choices  some day, you already can do this and you have been doing in is not as aware of it as you would like to be. 

Have we answered your question?  (yes)

Question:  I love the energy you bring and you are giving us many tools for our own joy and happiness.  Is there anything you (Michael) would like us to do to make you happy?

You're already aware that our happiness does not depend on the actions of anyone else - just as your happiness does not depend on the actions of anyone else. 

However, we like it very much when you allow yourself to grow.  When you take in something new and you make it your own and you allow the transformation to arise from that, we like that!  It's fun for us to see when you do that, and all of you are learning new things all the time.  So we have a great deal of joy in being a part of the process for you, or watching all the other teaching entities who teach you, and to be a part of the process.  It’s part of what we derive joy from, just as if there is a child that you are teaching something to. 

Perhaps you want to teach your child, how to stack two blocks without the first one falling over and it's a frustration for this child who doesn't quite possess the coordination but you are teaching him.  And you are persistent and finally they do, and they look up to you with a sense of exultation because they've done this, and you knew that you played a part in it. You didn't do it.  But you were there, you supported, you helped.  It is the feeling that we get and it brings us joy. That is not to say that to us you are as a baby stacking blocks:  you are as perfect and complete and whole as everything in the universe.  But when  you bring a sense of openness and your own joy to an encounter, to a situation, to an interaction, we get a sense of that joy as well. We share in that with you.  And that is what we like very much.

Have we answered your question? 

Question:I, some years ago, had a strange energetic teaching experience.  I'd like to know: was that you?

Yes, we are quite familiar with you and  had an interesting exchange with you based on your perceptions of the world at that time.   We would be interested in continuing some conversations with you in the future if this is something you are still open to.  But yes,  we would say that is part of our energy.  We do have awareness of that. 

Question:  I have a question about entities.  Specifically I'm in Entity 2/7 (in the Michael system) and I was wondering that the people in 2/7 that I'm closely aligned have so many similarities and goals.  Is it all in 2/7 that are focusing on the same issue or energy?  I was also wondering about dealing with other planets, other cycles, other planes - is that done from the other planes, that there's interaction with more than one cycle?  I was under the impression Michael deals primarily with one cycle, the Earth cycle.  Is 2/7 the same in other cycles?  Are we cast off together in more than one cycle?   

(Editor's note:  because many people at the lecture weren't that in depth in Michael terminology, the material that came was put in terms that everyone could understand.   This meant leaving behind the specific question about Entity 2/7.  Group channeling is generally addressed to the group, which is why private sessions/questions can get more specific.)

We will talk to you about a review of how your little group is formed, our interactions with them and comparing that with others interactions on the physical plane.  So yes, there is a group.  There were agreements to merge, we will say, in this geographic location. There were agreements to exchange certain levels of energy among you and to exchange experiences and to use one another as mutual support so as to approach some parallel lessons even on an independent basis - but these are similar lessons than experienced on a parallel fashion, if that makes sense?

Now in terms of how we interact with that little group versus how we interact with a wider Michael teachings community versus how interact with everyone, if you will, on other worlds, other planes:   The short answer is that we are interacting with all of you simultaneously.  To us this is not a difficulty.   We do not see, again, things in the same in the same fashion that you do, requiring form and placement in space and what not, so we interact with a variety of students on a variety of worlds all at the same time.  

Are they all in the same energy structure that you spoke of?  Well, yes, in a way.  We might be getting ahead of ourselves here, but each of you in this room now is an expression of the energy of the Tao, of the Tao being All That Is.  All That Is!   If you can imagine that much, it's not just in the "God" thing you might be thinking of. 

 All That Is.

And each of you is an expression of that, not just a fragment of it or a piece of it, but you are a compression of it. Each of you is, in yourself, in your body, All That Is, which is why you have access to all this limitlessness that we spoke of.  So if each of you is All That Is, then each of you are already, experiencing physical plane life in many other ways, right now, simultaneously.  You just don't have awareness of it, because of the awareness that you have chosen to experience now. 

You are also existing as, say, other species in other worlds and you are also interacting with us from those physical plane bodies and those awareness’ , and because each of you is All That Is, you are able to do this.  You are able to transcend space, time, in order to exist in many other places at the same time, see, and we interact with all of you, whom we interact with on this basis, in many places. You do not necessarily choose to interact with us in every incarnation in every life form that you may occupy. 

We understand that this runs contrary to some of the train of thought that has been exposed so far, that are our teachings and -- understand that it doesn't mean that those teachings are incorrect because they are not.  We are now showing a wider view of them.

 Some, of what has come before, if you will, was a in a more linear fashion because it arose over a period of time among a small group of people who were basically looking to figure out how to interact with one another and how to learn more about themselves and gradually more information - more and more and more - came through.  Again, it was only a part of the totality. It has been said, before,  that we, the Michael entity, interacts mainly with those in earth form and mainly with those in a certain energy structure, cadre energy ring etc. and that is true, but it is also true that each of you exists in many other incarnations in many other expressions also on the physical plane, on other planes of existence, and we are interacting with you there as well.

Have we answered your question? 

Follow up:  I was wondering about my entity, 2/7, or any other entity..  Does it stay intact always?  Our soul mates, our friends - do they stay together no matter what grid they're on, what cycle?  Are they a permanent family, so they'll always feel that connection? 

Yes and no.  The easiest way to understand this is: yes, you do.  You interact with similar energy sources from lifetime to lifetime because you choose to do so. These are friends, they’re people you like, so you want to interact with them.  You have a history, and it makes sense to.

When we say no we also mean that, when you move on from the earth plane existence there is no such thing as, ‘together‘.  There is no conception of remaining "together", so everything becomes and All That Is and has awareness of that.  But when you are on the earth plane again, you sort of find one another again   And again it's a piece of energy.  It's a vibration and there is a familiarity and that's how you interact with each other, when not on the earth plane anyway, so you find one another and you decide to interact in these bodies again.  Have we confused the matter or has the question answered?

Question: It sounds as though your dimension (as well as our dimension), there's a beauty and gift.  There's beauty both where you are and where we are.  We forget to see this.   We take for granted the beauty of our human existence.  Would we be better off in this human form if we kept a footprint, a snapshot, of all our lives, to further along our evolution than as we are now in our forgetfulness?

If you kept total awareness of everything you have done before while in a body it might prevent you from making certain choices in a lifetime that would keep you from having experiences that you choose to experience.   As you  advance through the "system", if you will, you you are doing the "same thing"  over and over - meaning you were born and you live and you die - but you are also approaching it from a different perspective each time.  Each time you make choices to wear a certain set of lenses, if you will, which allow you to look at life differently, which means that it is new every time.   And in addition to that as you move through the progression of lifetimes you also begin to look at different issues:  you are presented with, choose to manifest in your life and to examine different elements of human experience in each lifetime.   You don't necessarily always choose the same things that  you would have before.   And you wear in each life a different "perception lens", so you are able to look at this with newness. 

If you were to retain total memory of everything that came before, it would distract you in some ways, again, from making choices that would allow you to learn the totality of experience that there is on the physical plane and you would miss out on something.   So the collective choice that all of you made is to lose a great deal of that awareness.  Sometimes you have flashes of things: you have resonances about certain geographical locations,  other people are familiar to you, there are certain traits that you may carry from lifetime to lifetime, etc. These allow you to see the thread that weaves its way through your lifetimes and allows you, also, to draw on energy from other lifetimes and to use that to learn from, to support yourself or to simply not really feel alone and isolated in this lifetime. 

So there are different ways to remain connected with all those lifetimes. But all you have chosen on a collective basis to not remember the totality of those experiences as it would take away your ability to be in the moment right now, in this lifetime.

Question: You've talked a little about All That Is and simulateous existance, but could you address what I call the Michael "matrix".  (The Overleaves).  That is, you incarnate, pass through the soul ages, levels, evolution, etc.   How does this relate to being All That Is and being all things at once?

Regarding the information that we have given in the past re: soul ages and the different lessons that come along with each set of "perspective lenses" that you would choose to wear in a successive lifetimes: Those allow you to, as we just said, experience life in a different fashion in each lifetime until you have, to your satisfaction, looked at all the potential lessons and all the potential permutations of interactions that can exist between yourself and between other people on the human level of existence.

This information has been presented in a linear fashion, because that is how you perceive things and it is easier for you to understand moving through an orderly succession, but how this is in reality experienced is simultaneously.  You are, right now, at this very moment, also experiencing many other lifetimes.  You are experiencing what we call concurrent lifetimes which are like other branches of the same tree that you're in now.  These are similar lifetimes that you might be examining similar lessons at a similar level of perception, but you are also having lifetimes in, say, 10,000 B.C., and you’re having lifetimes in the future.  You are having all kinds of lifetimes, all simultaneously in our perception. 

Because of the  nature of our perception of reality and the limitlessness that it exists in,  that would be difficult to make sense of on a physical plane level where you need to have form and a linear sense of time.  You've chosen to experience, to remember things or to touch on the energy of things in a linear fashion.  It‘s as if  you stretched out the limitlessness into a long time line, if you will, so that you can see an orderly progression; however your life, your totality of lifetimes, is not experienced in that way.  

As you can understand, it is difficult to equate the linearness of your experience and perception with the total limitlessness of our wider perception, and so it is difficult to understand the  progression of lifetimes.  How can you be simultaneously learning lifetimes with, say, more elementary lessons, and also experiencing lifetimes with more  "advanced lessons" all at the same time?   In your perception this doesn't necessarily make a lot of sense, and we can only tell you that it is so.  However, it is so much easier for you to think of things in a linear fashion, but it is not in reality experienced that way.

Question: When an overleaf chart says, say, they're in Old 6, is that your "universal" soul age or is it just in this lifetime?  Is your essence also old 6?

That is your particular manifestation of the All That Is. The Tao is expressing itself over and over again simultaneously in many forms, all at once.   Each of you is the totality of All That Is within yourself and each of you within yourself is experiencing hundreds of lifetimes simultaneously.  So, the totality of All That Is, or the Tao, is also experiencing many levels of learning, in addition to the earth plane levels that you exist on. 

It is simply a totality of experience.  It's not in a linear fashion, and it's all experienced at the same time.

Again it is difficult to equate that "universal experience", if you will, with the experience of the earth plane, and we apologize for our inability to express this adequately!  

Question:  With this channel and all the channels I have had contact with, when I ask for specific names of people, there is often a difficulty in getting specific names, but great ease in getting roles and life details.  And also, when getting names with great accuracy, we as a listener experience a great time delay.  It is almost as if you (Michael) are going through the Akashic records.  You say that there is no time, but this happens.  Could you explain this?

We can sum it up and tell you that it mainly has to do with the limitations of the channels who exists on the physical plane.   This is not to say that any one channel is not doing they're job or what have you, but the channeling process itself involves a meeting of energy.  It involves, has been described, as sort of a funneling of a great deal of energy through this physical plane body and so the limitations of that physical plane body belonging to the channel are partly what creates things such as time delays.

Now, channels come with all sorts of problems just like everyone. Channels have a limited vocabulary although most very gifted channels tend to avail themselves of a great number of different things: modes of healing, modes of thought, of words etc.   If they are more verbal, that makes them a more gifted channel in terms of being able to put words to that energy so, a channel basically is a translating device.  We send energy, the channel accepts energy, and there is again this meeting.  The channel has to translate this flow of energy into something that they, and you, can make sense of.  Sometimes this comes as thoughts or pictures or feelings or words, and all of you of course, channel all the time.  You just may not be aware of it in the same sense. 

Michael channels tend to be on the more verbal side because that is a convenient way of communicating among humans.  That is what you're used to.

Going to the issue of names, since we exist on a level where there is only energy, and we don't attribute names to that energy -we only attribute variances in that energy or variances and in vibration as we explained earlier - attributing a name to something can be difficult.  So we are attempting to meet with the channels energy and to funnel that information into a channel, who then has to pull that information, almost out of thin air, and there can be a delay in doing that.  Many channels find themselves blocked about names. They care very deeply about what they do and they want there to be accuracy, and because there is no energetic connection to a name itself, without the energy behind the name or knowing the person, it is difficult to feel comfortable from a channel's perspective in terms of pulling a name out of a hat.  And names feel arbitrary also.  So when names are found the process is simply one that does involve time on the physical plane, because it's time that is occurring in the channels body as a channel is translating and perhaps relaxing a little more in a slightly different way to allow this energy to come forth.  Most channels would probably prefer not to deal with names at all simply because it necessitates that they change the process slightly in order to open to be receiving accuracy in terms of the name. 

So it is not so much the Akashic records. We have access to that - it takes very little time. It is simply the  difficulty in translating energy in to words, if that make sense to you.  

Closing

Again, it has been our pleasure in meeting with you this evening and talking with you about a number of subjects that are of course fascinating to us.  We hope that we have been able to assist you with some of the tools  to help you, as we said earlier, in terms of being able to make more conscious choices and being able to be more present at any given moment in your lifetime.  

We would like you to feel comfortable replaying in your mind the visualization that we spoke to you about your moving quickly through space.   Perhaps it was simply a visualization  - or perhaps that visualization changed you a little bit, on a cellular level, which allowed you to move through your own path of inner growth and exploration a little bit more.   You can replay this experience for yourself at any time and it will allow you to move a little step closer, if you will, to that place of really being present in every moment.

We say goodnight and we say thank you.

This is a recorded channeling from Karen Murphy on the nature of anger, inviting you to look at it differently, then moving into the levels of anger:  from the most limited and blocked manifestation of the energy to the most expansive and loving. 

Here is the mp3 that you can listen to.  Simply press play: 

Transcript of the channeling

There are also differences, of course, in perception among humans. Those differences in perception vary widely depending on a number of factors, not the least of which is what we have called soul age, which is a rather limiting term, if you think about it. There are infinite permutations that affect perception in human experience.

So it is limiting, of necessity, to try to boil down an entire spectrum into levels.   For within each of those levels, of course, exists a part of the spectrum.  This is only a division of the entire spectrum into seven sections, each of which is a spectrum in itself.  So if you have that understanding, and you have the understanding that there are multiple other factors also affecting one's perception, then you understand how difficult it is to narrow down this wide experience to particular words that then makes sense to you.  This concept holds true for anything we discuss that is discussed in terms of "levels".  This concept may be useful to apply to everything that you have already heard about that is discussed in terms of these levels.

We will talk about anger this evening .

Anger as you know exists because of perception of lack.  There is a perception of justification that there is something missing.  There is this sense of "something missing" that must be attributed to something else.  This is where you get the concept of blame from.  It is tied to this feeling of lack, for the human mind searches to find an answer to something.  It sees a "problem" and wishes to find a "solution". The human mind, in general, is not geared toward seeing an entire situation, seeing the bigness of it, seeing all the possibilities.  The human mind is geared toward remaining within secure limits.  So holding this perception of how your mind works as a species on the physical plane may help you understand.

We have said before that anger arises from the perception of a lack. This creates on an energetic level of feeling of imbalance.  The fragment is then pulled towards finding a way to maintain balance somehow.  Since there is not the perception that this lack arises from the inability to see the wholeness, it goes searching to find this lack, which causes the imbalance: tipping over the side, moving off the tightrope, moving away from center.  The fragment then goes searching for this lack, looking for a reason for it. Typically the search is done externally.  We must look toward others for why we feel a lack within ourselves. This looking externally causeless one to regard others with suspicion: "Oh!  It's their fault!  They did something!". It is so much easier to accept that than to accept responsibility for one's own lack of perception.

Another common way to go searching is searching inward: "I am not enough. Therefore, I lack."  This causes anger inward.  This causes feelings of self-loathing, feelings of emptiness.  "It can't be anyone else's fault -  they look fine to me.  It must be mine."  We are looking for faults, again, because of an inability to see the wholeness.

Regard, if you will, the moon.  You will pretty much know that the moon is an entire wholeness to itself.  It's a spherical shape.  You can imagine all of it existing.  However, you only see one side of it.  You see the side that has light on it.  You don't see it as a spherical shape because you're not close enough to it.  If you stepped back a little form your life you change your perspective.  By stepping back you change of perspective and you can see the entirety of it.  You see the whole thing.  You see that part of it has light on it and part of it is in the dark.  You can't see that part that's in the dark but you know it's there because you have stepped back and changed your perspective.

Can anyone change their perspective and see this bigness about themselves? Because we have already told you tonight that all of you have such widely varying perspectives; there is infinite number of ways in which you can perceive your Self, the world, the universe and others.  So truly can everyone step back to an extent where they can see the bigness of their life

Frankly we will tell you no.  It is not within the scope of human perception to always be able to see this bigness.  So there are those of you who unfortunately will always feel a lack based on what they cannot see, and will always then move into that state of anger over that feeling of something missing.  Does that make you feel sad, thinking that there are some of you who will always be in a state of anger?   Well, a state of anger is simply a fear that there is something missing.  It doesn't mean there is anything actually missing. It's simply a response.  So it needn't cause sadness on the behalf those who will hold anger as part of their life experience.  After all, anyone listening to this now will have been in that state at one time.   But we will say that most of you hearing us speak will be able to, in some fashion, step back from your life to the extent in which you will not remove anger from your experience, but be able to perceive your own wholeness.

Does that mean that anger will not exist in your experience?  No, not at all.  Anger is also a learned response to that perception of something being missing.   If it's a learned response does this does not mean you can unlearn it?  Of course.  You can choose a different response.  You can also choose how anger manifests within you.  As we said before we have divided up the spectrum - the entire spectrum of anger - into seven parts.  Some make you feel smaller.  Some help you expand your awareness.  You move from one end of the spectrum to another. 

By staying to the expansive end of the spectrum of anger you increase your perception.  You are aware of the potential of your bigness, yet you're also aware that there something missing.  You're okay with that.

Have you any questions ?

Question:  You haven't said what the seven levels were .

You are correct.  In that case, we will discuss then.  We will discuss them on a scale from the very smallest to the most expansive

• Level 1 of anger is ire.  This is an explosive state.  It is a blaming state.  It attributes the lack to others or to oneself fully.  It does not account for any possibility of there being anything but a lack.  It is a fear-based state and tends to be quite isolating.  It alienates others.
• Level 2 we would term as annoyance.  At this level one begins to acknowledge a difference in causation of the feeling.  Yet one is not able to discern the nature of the lack, and there is concern that one will always exist in that state.
• Level 3: contentiousness.  Level 3 looks toward others or to the self and is unhappy with the results.  There is an attempt to blame, but there is no satisfaction from the blaming.  This may be the most confusing level to be immersed in, as there are no clear answers, yet there is a desire for clear answers. 
• Level 4: attainment.  At this level there is a profound sadness.  The blame is not satisfying, but the amount of confusion is heightened.  However, the person operating in this level does indeed begin to step back a little and to begin to grasp the concept that there may be a wholeness.  However, it is not evident and there is much fear from this perception of lack, and sadness arises at the inability to make strong connections with what is being perceived.
• Level 5 is euphoria. This is the level where the wholeness is perceived on a knowingness level in the heart, mind, and in the being.  There is still the perception of lack, but there is the awareness that there is more.  And from that awareness comes a completed or heightened sense of wholeness of the Self. It is not clear where this comes from, and indeed the person operating at this level will search for answers to explain the apparent discrepancies, but there is not a great degree of questioning at this level.  There is euphoria, then, from finally accepting the Self as being whole despite the apparent perception of lack. 
• Level 6 is connection.  In this level it is seen how to see the wholeness.  This level is seldom attained, and is typically attained only through pre-life agreement to do so.  In other words, a person will purposely set up certain situations in life - challenges and perceptions - that enable one to move through into this level of connection and to see how many ways there are connections between perception of the Self, perception of others, and perception of the entire universe.  Not only is the lack seen, but there is love for it. 
• Level 7 is a state of complete love and acceptance for all the ways in which perception can manifest.  

Now you may be asking, “what do these levels have to do with anger exactly, because I didn't hear a lot about anger!”  You are correct.  Anger as seen culturally is a manifestation of a perception.   To our mind, it is an energetic state.  You may be interested to know that for any group of, say, 10 people you will get 10 different answers if you asked them what they feel they feel anger, yet everyone accepts it that feeling is indeed anger.  It is much like asking what is the color green. Does everyone perceive green the same way?  Are you sure? How do you know?   

Anger in the higher levels -  we will say level 5 (and partially level four) and above - tends to for most people manifest is a heightened sense of awareness: a sense of power, a sense bigness, a sense of expansion, and a sense of perception of how huge everything is, yet how huge you are in that also.  Anger at the lower levels tends to manifest as a huge empty feeling of smallness. The lack overpowers any sense of the anger and the feeling of anger within the Self wants to overpower that huge feeling of smallness, and there is this constant disparity, this constant interplay, this constant struggle.  It can be very frustrating.

 Now have you any more questions ?

Question: I've always thought that anger is appropriate to say when someone crosses healthy boundaries.

Again, anger is a learned response to a perception of lack.  Now how does this relate to the crossing of boundaries and is anger appropriate in this instance?   Is this your question?  (Yes)

By setting boundaries you set up a confinement around yourself.  It is a place of safety.  It is a place that you can call yours.  If someone moves into that space you give a response.   You are perceiving that as anger.  If someone moves into your space it is because you have created a limitation around yourself.  Instead of expanding into the entirety of yourself, which is the entirety of the universe - for then you would see no lack, there would be no space between you - instead of doing that you have created this fence.  If everyone who interacted were to bring their entire selves to the interaction and all their bigness, there wouldn't be a bumping up of boundaries, but rather there would be an exchange.  There would be an overlap, but each person in the interaction feel their own bigness and be comfortable in that space and be comfortable with others in their wholeness as well.

The problem, then, is when you interact with others who sense more of their lack than their completeness.  So they are bringing their own frustrations at their perceptions to the exchange and what you are feeling, then, is that hole that stands between you and this causes fear and causes "Well, maybe I have that hole too and maybe I need to get smaller so that I don't feel that!"

Realizing that you always can feel that space, even if that space "belongs to someone else" is extremely empowering.  You have all the space you need.  It extends forever, in every direction.  

Now you're still asking how does this relate to anger?  Again, and we're speaking to you specifically, having a response to a feeling that someone has “crossed your fence” is a choice that you can make, and it keeps people from crossing your fence in the future.  You want to maintain that security, that safe place. And that's a choice.  It is frightening to think about not having those barriers, frightening to expand yourself into all that you are, because you can't see the edges of it.  There are no edges!  They don't exist - they go on forever.   But because you can't see them it becomes frightening.  Because you can't feel them you are unsure about it.   That uncertainty causes a feeling of imbalance. We spoke before of how a feeling of being imbalanced causes a responsive of anger. 

We realize it's a very different way of looking at things than you have been used to doing.  So give yourself time. 

We will conclude.
