Energy Report: JULY 2009

Reading time: 6 – 9 minutes



[note: every year has a pattern of energy that can be described as a kind of "personality," so the energy reports are Michael's interpretation of that energy using the Overleaf System; these are not predictions, but merely observations of momentum and pattern generated by actions and choices, similar to how weather patterns can be observed and reported.]

June’s spike of final emphasis on Passion and Mode manifested in several interesting ways on a scale that shook large pockets of fragments and their sense of identity and symbols, from the seemingly unusual string of deaths among popular icons to the bloody battles of Iran. It would be helpful to look back over June to examine how these events on a global scale are macrocosmic reflections of the microcosmic events in an individual life. We see that most of our students found themselves in positions that questioned their sense of identity and if that questioning is followed by comprehension and resolution, then this can help set the tone for the move through the next few months of emphasis on the Attitude of Idealism. Comprehension and resolution would come from an honest look at the attachments to symbols as a form of identity and to embrace those symbols while understanding that the symbols are not the same as the qualities. Symbols can come and go, but the qualities inherent in your identity and being exist with or without their external representation. Being dependent on symbols is like being dependent on paper and pen for your thinking. Your thinking exists with or without the pen and paper. Even when paper and pen become extensions of your thinking, your thinking does not cease if the pen and paper are removed.

July brings with it a shift from an emphasis on relationships and personal identity to an emphasis on philosophical perceptions and your sense of need for improvement.

The Attitude in our system is a component of Personality that describes the philosophical stance of the lifetime, the basic perception of the world and how experiences are interpreted through that primary philosophy. There are 7 basic philosophies, or Attitudes, and while each of you will already have your own as part of your Personality, the time frame of a year can also be described in terms of the general philosophy “in the air,” so to speak. This year, it appears the general mood is one of continued improvement and an emphasis on seeking out, identifying, and altering flaws. This would mean to us that most of our students may find themselves intentionally focusing on, or “accidentally” stumbling upon, one or more components of the life, Personality, or environment, internally or externally, that are ready for improvement.

For those who have come to comprehend and resolve the exploration of identity and symbols over April, May, and June, then July may start off with “your feet hitting the ground, running.” It will be clear to those fragments WHAT needs or wants improvement, and the direction would be on the HOW. For those who feel some amount of overwhelm, confusion, or dismissal of the events of April, May, or June, then July may start off with the exploration of WHAT.

For those who start off July with an emphasis on exploring WHAT, it would mean a sense of distraction with what exactly it is that holds you in a pattern, or keeps you from feeling as if you are fulfilled, moving forward, or making an impact in areas of effort. For some, this will show up as a literal distraction, generating a sense of lacking concentration or presence, until there is a grasp on exactly what to improve. This would be a time of strong, self-scrutiny on the positive end, and a time of vague disappointment on the more negative end.

For those exploring the WHAT, we would suggest that your exploration not be one of discovery, but one of DECISION. In other words, you do not have to wait for the so-called flaws to reveal themselves, or for the obstacles that can use some transformation to be uncovered. Instead, you can remind yourself that this is YOUR life, and that the design of your being, your days, and directions are simply a product of your choices. Decisions are the path to Choices. Decisions are a Path, and Choices are a Pivot. Decisions shape your days, and Choices shape your life.

So, instead of being distracted, waiting, or wandering, you can make the decision as to what to improve TODAY. It does not have to be that pivotal thing that would improve everything, but you will find your way to that pivotal thing much more comfortably and quickly when you start making Decisions to shape your focus of the day, which will then lead to Choices, and those moments of Choice will be clearer when they come around.

For those who found a strong sense of awareness about personal symbolism and identity over April, May, and June, your July might start off immediately aware of WHAT could use some improvement, even if begrudgingly, and so your month may emphasize the HOW of the process. By this we mean that it is no longer a mystery as to what part of your development has lead to a pattern of immobility or repetitiveness and it is now up to you to do the work of either transforming that or embracing that.

In both cases of What or How,
the spectrum of Idealism may come into play. On the positive end of the spectrum there is COALESCENCE, which is not only the awareness of all of the ingredients and steps that must come together to fulfill a vision, but also the awareness of the effort that this requires. On the negative end of the spectrum there is NAIVETY, which is the experience of being blinded or distracted by the end-goal, or vision, without any attention to the steps and efforts that may be required to get there; it can also be the constant disappointment and frustration with how things SHOULD BE vs how things ARE, forgetting the time, energy, and patience that may be required for change.

Idealism always sees room for improvement, and there is always room for improvement, so it is an exhausting philosophy for some. Since there is always room for improvement in nearly everything, since evolution is in an on-going process, then there can tend to be a constant emphasis on flaws and short-comings. When this comes from the positive pole of Coalescence, the flaws, short-comings, and improvements are seen as a gentle informative process for directing visions, efforts, and choices. When this comes from the negative pole of Naivety, the flaws, short-comings, and improvements are seen burdens, disappointments, and a constant source of comparisons that always leaves one feeling empty, angry, depressed, or frustrated. Keeping these poles in mind can help each of you through the next few months of self-improvement and your sense of progress toward your visions.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR JULY
might be:

BECAUSE I CAN SEE IT DOES NOT MEAN I AM (or he/she is) THERE.
BECAUSE I CAN SEE IT DOES NOT MEAN EVERYONE ELSE CAN (or cares to).
DECISIONS CREATE THE PATH TO CHOICES; CHOICES CREATE THE LIFE.
FULFILLING A VISION IS A PROCESS, NOT A PREDICTION.
FLAWS ARE ONLY BREAKS IN THE PATTERN YOU CONSIDER THE IDEAL
THE PROCESS OF IMPROVEMENT IS KIND AND PATIENT

Michael & Farrah

Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes

There have been several requests for the profiles of Farrah and Michael so I’m posting a copy here. Please cross-reference these with other sources and validate. You are welcome to ask for more explanation about these profiles, especially if there are discrepancies with other channeled sources.

I know one of the discrepancies is Michael as being a Sage vs Artisan. What I get from Michael is Artisan. The validation for me was his intent on altering reality, including his own body, to match the pictures painted in his head, which is a powerful mark of an Artisan. The Sage Casting, which is how one shows up in day-to-day life, explains to me his Peter Pan Syndrome, and his obnoxious, childish behavior when dealing with him one-on-one. Some of the most “stereotypical” Sages are actually not Sages, but Sage-Cast. His being an Artisan contributed to his lack of ability to differentiate between children and himself, and this got him into a lot of trouble. Michael never seemed to be in the negative pole of Sage, which is Oration. He never seemed to communicate just to hear himself communicate, but the negative pole of Artisan was evident in nearly everything he did, which is Delusion. He had very little grip on reality for a lot of reasons, some of which were because of his personal design, and other reasons were because we, as a public, forced him into seclusion so that he had no sense of relationship within society. As an Artisan, it was of utmost importance to CREATE, and this was also evident in nearly everything about him, and while he braved the spotlight, he was also devastated by it. Many Artisans can attest to the need to create and to share their creations, but to be directly in the spotlight can be extremely overwhelming. Sages are generally energized by it.

I think it’s easy to presume a high-profile celebrity as being a Sage, especially if we stereotype the roles. “He’s in the spotlight = He must be a Sage.” I think if we were to get overleaves for the PUBLIC PERSONA, then Sage might fit, but the overleaves of the person, the Essence, is often very different from the media’s interpretation and portrayal of a celebrity or historic figure.

I also don’t get from Michael that Michael Jackson was the reincarnation of Mozart or The Elephant Man. It’s easy to connect familiar similarities across high profile lifetimes, but I don’t think reincarnation is that pat. Just because Michael Jackson had issues with his body in this life doesn’t mean he was the Elephant Man in another, or because he was labeled a “genius” in music that he was Mozart. I’m not saying he WASN’T these other high profile personalities, but just that I didn’t get that from Michael and that I do think that’s a bit too convenient; another way we tend to stereotype and oversimplify.

Energy Report: JUNE 2009

Reading time: 6 – 10 minutes

[note: every year has a pattern of energy that can be described as a kind of "personality," so the energy reports are Michael's interpretation of that energy using the Overleaf System; these are not predictions, but merely observations of momentum and pattern generated by actions and choices, similar to how weather patterns can be observed and reported.]

We described May as a “slippery” month that could be experienced much like a roller coaster. We described it in such a way as to capture the combination of releasing an attachment to control and a move into trust, because as much movement and twists and turns as there may be, you are still “on track.” The experience may have seemed swift to some, and slow to others, but the point would still remain that May might have encouraged a trust in your self and those who are in your life, even as they seem to throw you off course.

June marks the end of the emphasis on the energy of the MODE of Passion. In the month that transitions between emphases, the energy can show up as amplified or muted. We see the pattern as becoming amplified.

The Mode emphasizes relationships and Passion is the medium for the relationships. In our system, Passion describes the spectrum between Self-Actualization and Identification. On the broader end of the spectrum, Passion describes how one becomes more of who he or she is through their experiences in relationships (which refers to relationships with anything, not just people), and on the more restricted end on the spectrum Passion shows up a an attachment to symbols that have been deemed representative of how one sees oneself.

With the amplification we see for June, we would think that most of you will be exploring the more restricted end of Passion (negative pole: Identification), looking more closely at what you have installed in your life as symbols of your identity. Many of you may not know what those attachments and symbols are until they are shaken from their foundation, so to speak. As they come up for examination, we would suggest an effort away from reaction. We would usually say that for you to react, or not, is your choice, and whether you do, or not, is still a valid choice, but we point out here that a reaction, while still a choice, is an anatomic choice, which simply means that it is a reactionary navigation for protection of the body. When one’s identity is threatened, it is quite easy to fall into reactionary levels of navigation, shutting down, withdrawing, recoiling, flinching, running, passing out, etc. So while it is technically still a choice, it is not a conscious process of choosing, but a protective/defensive process. That kind of navigation is important in life, so we do not suggest that it is a “bad” thing; we can say with confidence that many of you, in one life or another, or in one situation or another, saved yourselves from harm through the use of your anatomic levels of choice. In this case, however, that kind of reaction may be triggered, but it has little relevance in terms of threat. It is simply a shaking up of the symbols to which you have grown attached. These symbols can range from your relationship to the public (reputation), to your relationship with money or career, your relationship with a spouse or loved one, your relationship to your future, your past, etc. It is anything that you feel strongly represents your identity. It is those things that one may find either falling away, or at least up for examination as a means to not stifle your identity by being so attached to the symbols that there is no room for evolution. Of course, for many there is no sense of necessity for conscious evolution and this is a valid path. In those case, the shaking may not be obvious, or if it is, the symbols will be immediately replaced or put back into place to secure the personal identity. In that regard, the choice is yours. Evolution of consciousness can only be slowed, never halted.

For those of you who choose to do so, awareness can be brought to your topsy-turvy month and when/if your attachments and identity are shaken, you can then use that opportunity to examine just what those symbols mean to you in terms of your sense of self. Understanding how much of “you” may have been invested in, or lost in, the symbol may shed light on where your “wheels have been spinning,” or how you have slowly, and possibly unconsciously, moved your life into a sleeping pattern that has lost its sense of inspiration.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR JUNE

What we can suggest for those who resonate with this report is to keep a keen eye turned to any area of your identity that seems to be shaken up in the weeks of June. Make a note of what exactly has happened, delineating it down to a Symbol and what that Symbol Means To You. The Symbol may be tangible, or it may be a concept, but the Meaning will most likely be glaring. There is really nothing more to do than to have an conscious conversation with yourself from there, to decide if this has become an anchor against your evolution, or if it is working just fine. Keep in mind that an anchor against your evolution can be as subtle as contentment. If you find that you are/were “content” with Symbol and its Meaning, you may have simply become resigned to it. True Contentment would feel as if life is moving in a direction you had envisioned, whereas Resignation will have felt like a long pause with the vision you had once held seeming further and further away. Keep in mind that the Symbol is not the problem. It does not have to be removed from your life, and it can be replaced rather easily if you find it has fallen away, but rather the Attachment to the Symbol that can be problematic.

Once you have assessed what is true for you, your next steps and choices would most likely unfold far more clearly and with a return to a sense of vision and improvment of self on more levels than before.

As June unfolds, the more consciously one explores these upsets and shakes in this light, the more easily and quickly a shift back toward Flow (the Goal for the year.)

June 21st appears to be a Nexus
[a shift in collective perspectives] themed in CLARITY. This clarity comes from the movement into the energies of Summer and the Attitude for the year, which is Idealism. We will speak more to that in July, but as the end of June comes around, a sense of higher perspective, vision, and a clarified pattern may come to light for many of you. If June feels as if one is suddenly “in the dark,” July would be that movement back into light. June 21st may be that shift that brings just enough “light” into your perspective so that shapes can be seen again, and a sense of navigation can return.

We will add that many of our students, while acknowledging the impact of the shocks and shakes of June, may be pleasantly surprised at their strengths, patience, resourcefulness, honesty, and relief when they realize how much of themselves was being lost in these symbols, and the joy of having a sense of return to wholeness.

KEY PHRASES FOR JUNE MIGHT BE

WHEN I FEEL I CANNOT SEE WHAT’S AHEAD, IT’S OKAY TO TAKE TIME TO LOOK INSIDE

MY LIFE HAPPENS FROM ME, NOT TO ME

WHEN PARTS OF MY LIFE or IDENTITY ARE SHAKEN, IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO RETURN TO BEING “ME” AGAIN

MICHAEL SPEAKS 061409

Reading time: 17 – 28 minutes


MICHAEL SPEAKS
061409
OPEN FLOOR

[Michael Entity] Hello to all of you. We are here now.

[QUESTION] Michael. This may seem terribly “basic;” however, due to discussions amongst students, I’ve become confused about how the various Soul Age Levels apply to Essence’s growth and development. When Essence first starts incarnating as an Infant soul, is it actually an Infant soul that then grows and develops as each level is achieved? In other words, do completing Internal Monads in positive pole, Soul Level, and Age, apply to Essence’s development? Could you please clarify?

[Michael Entity] We think we understand your question and will attempt to respond appropriately.

What we would remind you of, first, is that what evolves is the ROLE in Essence. We realize that the terms “Essence” and “Role” are used interchangeably, and fairly so, but they are quite different in technical terms. Much like your Personality and Essence are truly “one,” they are still not the same things, technically.

For the sake of this response, we will use the terminology of Essence for the part of you that exists with or without a Role. We will use Role to refer to the specific medium through which Essence experiences itself in relation to other fragments sharing a similar agenda, and sharing an intent to be a part of the spiritual ecology of a particular system, such as Earth, all of its lifeforms, and more specifically, Human Sentience.

The PERSONALITY experiences evolution within a single lifetime, from its Infancy to Death. Within that time frame, it goes through rites of passages relative to its physical and psychological age progression and our channels refer to those as Internal Monads. The ROLE also goes through stages that our channels refer to as Internal Monads, which is a different scale than that of the Personality. To help in clarifying this differentiation, we think it would be a good idea to refer to the Internal Monads of the Personality as “The Seven Rites of Passages” as a means to differentiate from the Seven Internal Monads of the Role. The Seven Rites of Passage are still, technically, Internal Monads, but specific to the Personality. Not all stages, or Rites of Passage during a life will be experienced or completed within a single lifetime because of physiological or psychological interruptions, limitations, and interferences.

ROLE experiences evolution from its first physical lifetime through its last physical incarnation, even if by proxy (Transcendental or Infinite*). Role’s evolution is measured by Internal Monads, as well, but these are relative to the progression through the Soul Levels that you find in the Soul Ages. The Role’s evolution through each Level is dependent on each Personality’s efforts to progress through its own Rites of Passages. The further a Personality can progress through its Rites of Passages in the positive poles, the further the Role is progressed through its own Internal Monads. The 7 Internal Monads for the Role are the 7 stages of EACH LEVEL of the Soul Ages. Since it can take several Personalities (incarnations) to finally get through the 7 Life Stages, both physiologically and psychologically, it goes that it also takes that many lifetimes for a Role to progress from one level to the next in a Soul Age.

With this understanding, you could say that it takes 7 successful Rites of Passages to equate the 7 successful Internal Monads of the Role. The process for the 7 Rites of Passages takes place within the physiological and psychological boundaries of the Personality, whereas the 7 Internal Monads take place within the levels of Essence/Role and is built upon the processes of the Personality.

[ADDITIONAL ELABORATION from TROY]

There are a couple of ways this evolution happens:

COMMON PROCESS (classic process)

Let’s use a 5th Level Old Sage who is just starting the 5th Level.

5th Level Personality # 1 : lives to 12 years old; finishes the 2nd Rite of Passage (postive pole)
5th Level Personality # 2 : lives to 25 years old; finishes the 3rd Rite of Passage (negative pole)
5th Level Personality # 3 : lives to 50 years old: finishes the 3rd Rite of Passage (negative pole)
5th Level Personality # 4 : lives to 52 years old; finishes 3rd Rite of Passage (positive pole)
5th Level Personality # 5 : lives to 60 years old; finishes 4th Rite of Passage (negative pole)
5th Level Personality # 6 : lives to 45 years old; finishes 4th Rite of Passage (negative pole)
5th Level Personality # 7 : lives to 55 years old; finishes 4th Rite of Passage (positive pole)
5th Level Personality # 8 : lives to 72 years old; finishes 5th Rite of Passage (negative pole)
5th Level Personality # 9 : lives to 65 years old; finishes 5th Rite of Passage (positive pole)
5th Level Personality # 10 lives to 25 years old; finishes 6th Rite of Passage (positive pole)
5th Level Personality # 11 lives to 17 years old; finishes 7th Rite of Passage (positive pole)

7 Rites of Passages Completed; 7 Internal Monads Completed = 5th LEVEL Completed

NEXT LIFETIME = 6th Level; and a completely new cycle through the 7 Rites of Passage/7 Internal Monads as a process toward the next soul level/age.

Notice that a “short” lifetime can still quickly build upon the collection of past Rites of Passage as a means to “quickly” move into the later Passages. It is often the case that if only the 6th and 7th are remaining, a child will generate a terminal illness early in the life, speeding the process of awareness of mortality and impending death as a means to sum up the Rites of Passages, Internal Monads, and Level.

RARE or NON-Classic Process:

In some lifetimes, it is of interest to the Older Soul to transit a Level WITHIN the lifetime. This is rare, but not so rare for Older Souls. When this happens, the lifetime is quite literally “two lifetimes in one.” There are a multitude of reasons for choosing this process, and here’s how it works:

Let’s use a 5th Level Old Sage who decides to transit Soul Levels within a lifetime. Only the 6th and 7th Rites were not completed for the 5th Level, so rather than have a short life, or die when the 6th and 7th Rites are completed, the lifetime continues into a new cycle of Rites of Passages. When this happens, the Personality literally goes through a phase of deep awareness of its mortality and senses an impending “death.”

All Rites of Passages are physiological and psychological. We often think of these as relative to the physical age, but that just so happens to be a classic pattern. The actual Rites can happen at any physical age. It’s the psychological levels that are the important dimensions. That’s why someone can be stuck in the 3rd Rite of Passage, but be 80 years old. It’s also why a 12 year old can be processing the 6th Rite of Passage.

So when a person is transiting Soul Levels during a lifetime, it means they are also completing in the positive pole the 7th Rite of Passage. When that happens, the person undergoes a kind of psychological death (7th Rite), the Soul Level transit happens, and a psychological rebirth (1st Rite) happens, regardless of physical age. The following Rites of Passage will now add an interesting process to the lifetime as the person, regardless of physical age, now processes this rebirth, and then attempts the 2nd Rite of Mobility, the 3rd Rite of Independence, etc. as far as they can go with what years are left within the lifetime. Sometimes they only get through the first or second Rite, sometimes further.

[END NOTE FROM TROY]

[QUESTION] Does this mean that Essence can have multiple Roles incarnating — what makes up Grand Cycles?

[Michael Entity]
With all of this being said, the ROLE starts as an “infant” because it is relative to its current cycle of exploration within a specific species, but the Spark who is Essence existed long before this current Role and species. There are other species and systems through which an Essence/Spark has already explored, from the initial choosing of a Role to its reunion with Tao. We refer to the entirety of this process as a Grand Cycle.

[COMMENT] It’s finally making sense!

[Michael Entity]
Your Role does not change during one of these Grand Cycles, but once that Grand Cycle is completed, the Role is discarded, along with all of its dynamics, such as Frequency and Male/Female Energy Ratios, Essence Twins, Task Companions, Entities, Cadres, etc. and when a new Grand Cycle is chosen, all of those elements are chosen anew.

[COMMENT] so, it’s the Role that cycles off

[Michael Entity] The Grand Cycle is to your Essence/Spark, what each Personality is to your Role. Most fragments within the Human Species have an average of 3 Grand Cycles. Most of our students, which is one Energy Ring, or 12 Cadres, share an average of 9 Grand Cycles.

[Michael Entity]
Essence does not evolve without the Role and the Role does not evolve without the Personality. Personality does not evolve without the 7 Rites of Passages.

[Michael Entity] We realize we meandered through a response as a means to help provide context for our response. Did this answer you sufficiently for now?

[COMMENT] Oh, indeed! Much more than I expected . . .evertyhign clicked into place; thank you!
[COMMENT] for me too!:)
[COMMENT] Same here
[COMMENT] wow; this is amasing good stuff – thank you

[Michael Entity]
In conclusion, the Essence/Spark DOES evolve, but it is on a different scale of measurement. There is a time when the Essence/Spark is an “infant,” so to speak, but it inherently retains all of the qualities of Tao. The Essence/Spark’s scale of evolution is of such a scale that the results would be difficult to comprehend. From what we understand, each Essence/Spark eventually runs its own universe, eventually fragmenting itself and continuing the spectacular creativity that is Tao, becoming its own “god,” if you will. But this is not something one need concern oneself with as you consider how to pay your bills and get along with your loved ones.

[Michael Entity] The number of Grand Cycles does have some effect on the way a Role will show up, even in its first Infant lifetime. Those with higher Grand Cycles can tend to seem much wiser than those with fewer Grand Cycles, which is why Entities and Cadres who share an average of Grand Cycles tend to incarnate quite tightly at first so that no one “sticks out.” As the Role evolves, the Entities and Cadres “spread out” and are more capable of blending in with other fragments who may have more or less Grand Cycles.

[COMMENT] Sometimes, I think we incarnate to escape the complexities of it all…we come here to stop and smell the roses so to speak

[Michael Entity]
We would agree, especially for those lifetimes having a Goal of Flow or Re-evaluation.

[Michael Entity]
Next question.

[QUESTION]
Back to basics 101 – I need a refresher on how to break the hold of the negative pole of Flow – Stagnation/Inertia. Would Michael offer some practical suggestions on dealing with this problem when it is hard just to do/start anything? I hope this is general enough – dealing with the negative pole of Flow. ( And yes, I see NCF playing a role in this as well, :) ) I think I’m stuck smelling the roses in only one place, hehehe

[Michael Entity] One of the most effective ways of breaking Inertia is to surrender to it. This may seem counter to the intent, but one of the things that keeps a person locked in Inertia is the sense of “running in place,” or “doing a lot of nothing.” When one can surrender to the gravity that seems to keep one in place, the footing can be regained, or the sense of productivity and fulfillment can be regained.

[COMMENT] ah

[Michael Entity] The point of having a Goal of Flow is to learn how to navigate within the currents that are natural to the life, and often those currents swirl, so to speak, or slow, or eddy.

[COMMENT] . . . or get stuck on the rocks, hehe

[Michael Entity] One of the greatest challenges for those in Flow is to overcome the pressure to show evidence and justification for their presence.

[COMMENT] and NCF gets you on that part, for sure
[COMMENT] oh boy do I get that…
[COMMENT] me too
[COMMENT] same here
[COMMENT] It certainly affected me and I’m not in Flow
[COMMENT] definitely me too

[Michael Entity]
When a fragment chooses Flow as a Goal, it is because there is an interest in the nuances and subtleties of existence and this increases the sensitivity of the Personality.

[COMMENT] a big Ah
[COMMENT] I second that!
[COMMENT] So, smell that rose until it blackens, shrivels, and dries :)
[COMMENT] …. and then make potpouri!
[COMMENT] hehehe
[COMMENT] yes!
[COMMENT] lol

[Michael Entity] This sensitivity is heightened so as to develop an intuitive grasp of the life and its natural flow, much like one might have when navigating a boat, skateboard, or other vehicle of momentum that pulls all of the senses together to calculate navigation without having to over analyze.

[COMMENT] I understand this completely
[COMMENT] hmm, maybe why this is why I think well while driving, lol; driving alone that is
[COMMENT] I absolutely understand the idea of subtle navigation

[Michael Entity] However, this sensitivity then leads to an awareness of all of the subtleties of one’s “insides,” so to speak, so all of the areas within oneself that are not flowing freely are felt, too.

[COMMENT] perhaps that is part of the problem – a feeling that the natural flow is being blocked and feeling uncomfortable with that and wanting to ‘flow’ again – and not quite seeing how to get back there.

[Michael Entity]
Often, the Personality will turn to external environments for the solution to the lack of freedom within.

[COMMENT] hence the inertia…

[Michael Entity] Flowing externally and can help the flow, internally, but often it can take internal adjustments, as well.

[COMMENT] ok
[COMMENT] empty the well – so; it can be refilled

[Michael Entity]
Both the internal and external are connected, and one can help the other, but when one is neglected over the other, it can cause the sense of inertia, no matter how productive and free the life can seem in one area over the other.

[COMMENT] I understand that

[Michael Entity] One of the most effective ways we’ve seen our students understand the concept of FLOW is to set alongside it the concept of PERMISSION.

[COMMENT] ah to allow the flow……

[Michael Entity]
When one feels the life is not flowing, internally or externally, it can help to ask where one has limited his or her sense of Permission. And often that permission is the barrier to the very simple and freeing experience of Relaxation. To relax. To embrace. To allow. To Be. Without apology or proof.

[COMMENT] oh geeze, yes
[COMMENT] thank you!

[Michael Entity] We have more to say about this, especially in terms of how the negative pole can be shifted by using the positive pole of the other Goals, but we will elaborate on that in other sessions.

[Michael Entity] Next Question

[COMMENT] thank you very much, Michael
[COMMENT] that was excellent; thank you :)

[COMMENT] Today is a joy!

[QUESTION] Hello Michael, my question has to do with choosing overleaves. In reviewing [between lives] does the fragment look over the whole series of incarnations to decide, or find a particular lifetime where something got missed… could you give me an example of how I chose this life’s overleaves?

[Michael Entity] There are basically three ways a fragment will choose its Overleaves: Randomly, Out of Curiosity, and Through Calculation.

Earliest Personalities of the Infant Soul are a product of Randomness, with “random” simply meaning that no intent or calculation was involved in the choice, though choice was still involved.

Late Baby through Early Mature bring Personalities that are products of Curiosity, meaning that there is more involved in the choice of Overleaves, but often with an “I wonder what would happen if…” kind of perspective.

Mid Mature through Late Old can bring the most calculated Personalities, as the intent for final comprehension, integration, and commitment to the path for that fragment ensues.

7th Level Old is a free-for-all, which is why many who are truly 7th Level Old do not appear to be Old at all, since the Personalities are not of those you would presume to be so wise. But that is a perk of “getting older,” in that one is no longer constrained by fears, obligations, ties, etc. and one can finally play with lifetimes in a way that are thoroughly understood as safe.

[COMMENT] the perks of Old Age…..:)

[Michael Entity] Some of the oldest souls on your planet are simply annoying and bring nothing of obvious value to society or to their social circles. Some of the “wisest,” most spiritual and grounded of souls on your planet are far younger in soul age than one might presume, but many of these guru-like fragments are caught in the maya of what “wise” should look like, and play the role quite well.

[COMMENT] I have always felt I planned all this since I was a kid

[Michael Entity] The mapping of a lifetime, and the adherence to that map, vary from fragment to fragment, Personality to Personality.

[Michael Entity]
It would be accurate to say that you are of the more calculated choice in Overleaves and that your Personality found the mapping of your life to be of value, and adheres to that map within reason.

[Michael Entity] Next question

[QUESTION] abandonment – we all do this alot , we come together, we go apart , that is life, as we know it… so, what can you tell me, that would help all of us, with this type of issue involved with our passages through our lives — i am sure, it is a theme for many — how deeply rooted is ABANDONMENT/does it have 7 levels; and; how do each of the 7 chief dragons affect it, like impatience, aggroance, self dep; self destruction, etc

[Michael Entity]
True Abandonment is of such popularity for exploration by souls that it is within the 30 “Classic” (external) Monads: the Abandoned and the Abandoner. It is quite popular for the same reasons that the other relationships are popular: it is an accelerated experience that holds great potential for learning about oneself. True Abandonment is an experience that eventually leads to a discovery of self-value and empowerment that, when discovered, is unprecedented. True Abandonment is antithesis to the truth of your resonance with others, and to experience it pushes one to question the value of oneself in ways that few other experiences push one to question in that way. The process of being abandoned, and the process of questioning, can be extremely painful until the lies are worked through and the truth is finally comprehended: that the value of self is never dependent upon the relative position one is within a relationship; and that the experience of abandonment is, ironically, due to the overblown value one has placed upon another fragment over self.

[COMMENT] BINGO!
[COMMENT] wow
[COMMENT] (no wonder why sometimes, it is so easy to just detach)
[COMMENT] what will the wind blow in next LOL sort of the like the ocean tide that deposits its treasures
[COMMENT] I learned alot of that in this go-round with my Father was a double-edged sword understanding intellectually why but an emotional hile

[Michael Entity] There are 7 Circles of Abandonment that one can initiate or experience:

Survival Abandonment:
which is the abandonment of a position that is necessary for the survival of another, such as a mother abandoning a baby in a ditch.

Sexual Abandonment:
which is the abandonment of a position that nurtures another in an intimate way, either literally sexually, or simply as embracing the Other as Oneself.

Physical Abandonment: which is the abandonment of a position that was necessary for the mobility and productivity of another fragment.

Emotional Abandonment: which is the abandonment of a position that embraces another fragment with room to Be without explanation or apology.

Intellectual Abandonment:
which is the abandonment of a position of communication and exchange with another.

Intuitive Abandonment: which is the abandonment of a position of encouragement for upholding the fulfillment of visions, dreams, and wishes.

Spiritual Abandonment:
which is the abandonment of a position of guidance and clarity for the bigger picture and pattern of the life.

[COMMENT] wow-this is very deep stuff–you are writing a book of great value troy/michael-as, you do this
[COMMENT] that alone gives me mucho food for ponderings

[Michael Entity] In instances of True Abandonment, Karma is often created. When we say True Abandonment, we mean that one has instilled oneself as a provider for a particular context, and then bails on the responsibilities of that position upon which another became dependent. When one experiences True Abandonment, the effects are valid and we do not mean to suggest that they are not, though we do suggest that most of the contexts can be overcome as the individual fragment finds his or her own sense of value.

[Michael Entity]
In the first context of Survival, the exploration of value is dependent upon Essence, not the Personality. The Essence will either let the life go as a means to start again in another life, or find a way to get help to the Personality that has been abandoned, if the Personality is receptive to that help.

[COMMENT] And all the 7 seems to relate somehow with the 7 chakras and centers too

[Michael Entity]
Yes, there is a relevant parallel to the Chakras.

[COMMENT] (you can NOT make someone else into something of value-they must learn to do that for themselves-otherwise, they do NOT appreciate it , as, they would, if they earned the rite of passage for themselves)

[QUESTION] Every Personality can experience many abandonments which are only experience — not Monadal levels of True Abandonment?

[Michael Entity] The Monadal process of Abandoned/Abandoner would focus on a single Circle, or context, emphasizing, for instance, Sexual Abandonment or Intuitive Abandonment. The Monad of Abandoned/Abandoner can be played out multiple times across different relationships for emphasis on the different Circles, or contexts.

[Michael Entity] We would also wish to clarify that we use the term True Abandonment to refer to the legitimate reliquishing of responsibilities for a position that was originally, mutually agreed upon. This is to differentiate from the INTERPRETATION of Abandonment that is merely a reaction to the disappointment that someone did not fulfill your expectations.

[Michael Entity] Most instances of True Abandonment are thoroughly explored by mid to late Mature. Most instances of abandonment after that are those of interpretation and directly related to self-karmic issues (personal, internal divisions within) that one is working on resolving.

[Michael Entity]
Last question.

[QUESTION]
An Infant soul has certain characteristics. Are these Infant Soul characteristics similar to what is experienced at each level. So that a person at a level one Old soul age, will be orienting to this new Age with some of the perspective of an Infant but specifically to the Old Soul experience.

[COMMENT] thank you

[Michael Entity] That is a valid observation. It could be said that the First Level of any Soul Age is the “infant” level of that soul age, and so on. The 6th and 7th Levels of a Soul Age would resonate to the Transcendental and Infinite Soul Ages, wherein the 6th Level is a process of opening to the collective experiences of your Essence for guidance through the life, and the 7th Level is a process of openness to one’s Entity for guidance for the life. While this is not a strict correlation, it is one that can help lend understanding to each Level.

We will conclude here. Good day to each of you. Goodbye.
