The Nature of Personal Power

Question: What is the nature of personal power and how does it manifest in our own lives?

We are here with you tonight.

Your ability to connect with us — beyond your physical and limited body is one manifestation of personal power. 

You have made choices — consciously — to go beyond your imprinting and to expand your awareness — that is personal power.

You have learned to control — mostly — your thoughts and therefore, you control your life by choice.  That is a manifestation of personal power.

You teach and you share, thereby helping others to have more personal power by your example and by showing them and teaching them how to do it. 

You feel powerful when you open up and when you are consciously aware. That power shows in your aura so others can sense it even if they don’t know what it is.

When you connect with nature, with the Earth, with the sun and with the wind, you also connect with their power and you use it to enhance your own power.

When you tell the truth, you are manifesting personal power.

When you study the teachings, you are increasing your personal power through greater knowledge. 

When you meditate or “listen,” you are allowing yourself to feel more powerful as you release any energy or “stuff” that is in your aura or that may be keeping you from being powerful.

At every moment of the day, when you are making positive conscious choices, you are exercising and manifesting personal power.

When you help others make positive decisions or learn new skills or meditate or anything else you might do with them, you are manifesting personal power.

When you acknowledge others in a positive way, you are exercising personal power.  When you have so much personal power that you can share it with anyone who wants it or needs it asks for it, you are an example of the positive use of personal power.

When you volunteer and give of your time, talent and treasure, you are manifesting personal power.  You are an example of someone who has so much personal power that you can give away to help others. 

Any time you can be with someone who needs help, you are manifesting personal power and the other feels the benefit of that power.

When you set appropriate boundaries, you are exercising personal power.  You can tell people “no” in a way that is respectful to them and takes nothing away from them.  You are acknowledging your own power and you own right to use it as you decide to use it.  The other person may not like to hear “no” but they will respect you regardless. 

[It felt like there a whole lot more that could be said, so maybe we can continue on this topic next week  . . .  ]

About Agreements

Question: What can you tell us about agreements, specifically about the child that is coming from China and xxx’s agreements with his ex-wife?

[As our facilitator was doing the meditation, I felt a gathering of many, many familiar folks joining the circle.]

We are here with you tonight.  As your question, you have drawn into your circle so very many other souls who are interested and who you feel comfortable with.

Like a magnet, you draw to you experiences and other souls for your leaning, for lessons, for karma and for agreements of all types.

Like ribbons of energy, your thoughts go out and connect with others.  Their thoughts and energy go out and connect with you also.

[At this point, I had a visual like a huge May pole with colored ribbons going out from me reaching out into the space and clouds, sort of waving and weaving together with so many other colored ribbons.  A very beautiful imagery.]

There is a precision in the Universe that you far under-estimate.  When you feel those connections, if you are paying attention at all, you will feel compelled to move or act or do something to make the connection happen in a physical way such as drawing to you the child in China who is reaching out for someone that they know.

There are past life connection there and agreement put in place for this life.  It “appears” to be random or complicated.  It is not.  It’s just that your ribbons have to weave their way through so many different places until they join up.  

People can, of course, choose not to move on those energetic connections and do it later in this life or in a different life.  

For xxx, the lessons are about learning how to be stronger and more confident in himself and in learning how not to be taken advantage of for future lifetimes.

When he allows others to take advantage of him, he is ignoring his own strength.  This is a difficult lesson in this life.  And, everyone does some version of it eventually.

As he learns to pay attention to his own self and his own needs, and allows his spiritual self to keep him safe, he won’t need another lessons like this.  He is in control of his life and he allowed his control to be taken by another.  It is a powerful lesson and one that he agreed to play a part in so that he could learn how to be stronger in his own right. 

The situation will play out to its conclusion and he will learn what he wants to learn.

The child in China has been with the lady xxxx before in another life.  The child was xxxx’s mother in that life and saved her from a difficult situation so they are reversing roles in this life.  xxxx felt the pull strongly and followed it to the extent she needed to locate the child in this life. 

These are both good examples of how strong those energetic connections and ribbons can be.  

You all have found yourselves in similar situations where you KNOW beyond a shadow of doubt that you should do something or go some place.  You have met “strangers” who become instant friends or even family.

Those connections become clearer and stronger the more you clear out your own blocks and energy drams.  As you learn to trust your “intuition,” it gets stronger and you have more successful connections.

The level of activity is much greater for older souls because you are more interested.  Younger souls also feel the connections though they are not as clear and they often are not conscious of them.

As you mature, you get better and better in feeling, noticing and reacting to the connections.

[Time was called.]

What can you tell us about the various groups that we might be involved in?

We are here tonight with you — as we are always with you.  As you become more conscious of our presence, you open yourself to “listening” as you call it.

We are here whenever you wish to call us —as we are always with you at all times.  You shift your focus and “forget” us or turn away your focus at many times — maybe, most times.

About groups:

There are, of course, karmic ribbons that connect you to people — you own someone or many some ones.  Or, someone owes you something.  These are very compelling and as older souls, you wish to resolve these as much as possible so that you don’t create more debt to be repaid in the future. You also wish to repay old debts that you owe so that you can be free.

There are the sequences that have been mentioned. These are groups that work together to perform tasks or to accomplish a project together.  You know about Sarah’s group and the many sequences mentioned there. Sequences cover many lifetimes. 

There are the working groups where you come together in a lifetime — a single lifetime.  Your transcript project is a sequence, a working group and has elements of karma so it covers a lot of ground in a small package.  You have a [life] task to teach our message in a mainstream way and you have a long-term sequence with us (Michael) to help spread our message of hope for the world. 

As you work in your various groups, you naturally encounters with whom you have links of various sorts, or who have similar agreements, or karma etc., or similar goals.

No matter how you “categorize” a group is not really important.  For you, with you focus on cooperation, you can work with many different people, though you will be most comfortable and compatible with people you have worked with before successfully and where you have a high level of trust. 

Trust is critical for a group to function well and can take some “time” to come together and work out the physical plan challenges.

There are, as you discussed, many different people involve din the Michael Teachings and who feel compelled to help make it more available to others.  The more everyone can see themselves as a part of something larger, the easier it will be for you all to work together.

When someone becomes too focused on doing it all alone or doing it by themselves in their own “true” way, they will not be as successful and the message becomes distorted or stifled.  You are very familiar with people who operate that way.

There is no “deadline” when this has to be done.  The energy and the support is very strong right now with all of you connected, so we expect there will be quite a bit of progress in the next 100 years of your “time” and possibly, much less if all work well with each other.

Yes, you will work on this when you return to the physical plane.  How many lifetimes you will be involved is unknown at this time/space from our perspective.

You are all doing very Good Work and all are benefiting tremendously by doing this work.  The overall population is experiencing the benefits of your work.  You have no idea yourself how important your work is today for the future of your species.  

We are here to help, support and be with you — and always know how much you are loved.

Your entity and our teacher, Michael.

Are there are any messages for us tonight?

We are here with you tonight and always.

Your world is glowing like diamonds on a beautiful rainbow cloud of energy. The brilliance is indeed awe-inspiring from our perspective. 

So many of you have joined together in reaching out beyond your limited physical selves to embrace a new way of being and doing.

You are feeling the collective energy of hope and love and sharing in a way that has never before been seen or experienced on your planet.

Your future is still so fresh and new and not yet formed that you can use that energy to create a world that is like nothing you have ever experienced before.  And, you can create it in a way that works for the majority of the people. 

Yes, there will be nay-sayers and those who cling to their old patterns and you will be faced with them.  You have the power to move through the resistance and to transform that energy into new ways, new dreams, new methods and new things.

The collective energy of the new ways grows stronger every single day as more of you tap into it.  It will continue to grow and evolve, just as each of you grows and evolves in your own unique way.  

Notice the changes and that help s to reinforce the evolution.  Pay attention to your relationships and acknowledge those people in a positive way who are working together to do things in a mature way.  

New doors will be opening for all of you.  Pay attention and notice those.  Acknowledge that YOU — all of you — have created these new things.

Take care of your body as it can get very stressed by so much energy. Be gentle with yourself and be gentle with others as much as you can.  

Recognize that those who are stuck are probably fearful, so don’t add to their fear.

Have compassion for those who are unaware or are struggling to cope with the surges of energy.  The energy will come in waves so allow yourself to go up and down as the waves pass through.

It will take some time for things to settle into the new ways so be hopeful and inspired and try not to get impatient if it is not as fast as you would like.

We are here with you at all times, whever you need us — as close as your breath and as near as your  heartbeat.  We send you more love than you can hold at all times.  Rest in that love and allow your life to float on it.
