For those who are normally balanced, why do they go out of balance?

Question: For those who are normally balanced, why do they go out of balance?

--

We are here tonight.  We are here whenever you call us or call on us.

Balance is the state of the Universe and if all was balanced at all times, there would be no growth, no movement, nothing to do or learn.

Balance is a perfect state of wholeness AND it is a temporary state.  The original Tao was very balanced and very boring.

So, a game was devised to create more fun, more excitement, more interesting things to help the Tao expand and grow.  Growth comes from imbalance and it generates itself to break up the monotony of perfection.  

Yes, it is a dichotomy and a paradox:  To be perfect and to be imperfect at the same time.  To be balanced and to be unbalanced at the same time.  To be whole, perfect and complete while seeking wholeness, perfection and completeness. 

What causes you to go out of balance?  Your Essence, of course.  If you are in Growth and have not been learning new things, your Essence will set up situations to help you do some growth.  Or, it will create new situations for you to experience.  Or, it will bring new people into your life.  Or, it will shift things around to remind you what you should be doing to satisfy your life task. 

Or, it will trigger events to help you achieve some goal that you may not be consciously aware of in your personality. 

Your Essence is very, very, very powerful — much more powerful than your personality.  In many people, the Essence sort of “sleeps” a lot until the person gets through life to a place where they are ready for major growth work, then it will start to exert its influence more strongly.   Once you start on a course of personal growth, your Essence is much more fully engaged with you and helping you get where you want to go.   

Remember, before you came to the physical plane, you wrote out a “script” for what you planned to do here, the people you planned to meet and the things you wanted to accomplish. 

As you go through your physical life, you set up “triggers” and “reminders” that would activate to accomplish certain things.  You have long ago “forgotten” that plan, which is the way physical lives work.  

What fun would it be if you knew everything that was going to happen and why? You also set up “choice” points and “exit” points in your life.

So, when it seems things are “out of balance,” you have come to one of those “choice” points or “trigger” points or “reminder points or “exit” points. 

You may feel them at the time or you may look back at them later and become aware of them. 

Regardless, your life is always working either: 1) according to your original plan, 2) according to a change of plans, which you can choose to do, or 3) getting ready for a new chapter to begin or an evolution to start or new growth to occur. 

Whichever it is, you are always guided by your own guides/angels or whatever you call them, and your Essence is working on your behalf — UNLESS — you are so out-of-touch with your Essence that your personality (or dragons / obstacles) have taken control.

In your personal case, your Essence is in control now so don’t worry.  As Lena said, just put it all down and deal with what is in front of you (*) and don’t worry or imagine or create negative situations where there are none.

Be well.  Be happy.  Be Love.  Be rested and engaged fully in what you are doing.

We are with you always.

. . .  If you have been struggling with something that has you constricted and confused, this would be the time to let go, unweight your position and give it over to Spirit so you can turn towards another, new and better direction.  Whatever it is, let it go.  Whatever has you sleepless, let it go.  Whatever you are trying to problem solve with your mind, let it go.  Whatever you are worried about, let it go.  Whatever you experience as being difficult, restrictive, full of suffering, pain and unresolved, let it go. . . .

What will the release of the transcripts mean to the Michael Community?

Question: What will the release of the transcripts mean to the Michael Community?

--

The main release will allow many students to see, read, learn and know what actually happened back then.  There won’t be the fictional story any more.   

They will be able to see the truth in all its faults, and see that the group was a group of ordinary people struggling with life and searching for answers just as many students do today.

It may be a shock or a jolt for some people who may have created their own stories or illusions about what went on then.  It will also provide a rich resource for those who wish to study the transcripts in depth as we have recommended as one of the key things to do: study, meditate, fast and concentrate.

And, it will release the “cloud” that has caused many people NOT to share things in the past out of fear.  This teaching should not be shrouded in fear.  That is the last thing we would wish to happen.

There are so many people who could use this information that have not yet found it.  We do hope that it will find its way to those who seek answers and help to alleviate the rampant feat that seems to pervade your planet.

Fear holds you back and causes the wars that have done so much damage.  You and other older souls can help the younger souls to see that warfare is one way to handle problems — not the only way to resolve conflict.

Love is the highest truth and truth is the highest good.  Our message is really simple.  If people are willing to love more and fear less, their lives can be much better.

Yes, we are here with you tonight and every night, or every day, or when ever you wish to connect with us.

And, to continue, there may be some “backlash” from students who do not wish to know the truth for their own reasons.  There is a counter negative force to complement the positive force, and it is all just fine.  Do not become stressed or distressed by any of it.  It is all illusion and maya, so do what you know is right and walk in truth.  Do what is right and your life will be blessed with many good things.

Do not become “worried” about what “might” happen.  That is not your concern, and even if it were, you can’t control anyone else or what they decide to do.  You can only control yourself and what you do, and even then, you don’t have total control — as you know.

Do your best and that is all that is needed or required.  Everything else will evolve as it should.  The right people and resources will show up to support you, so do not “worry” about that either.

It is all good and you are exactly where you should be, doing what is right for you.

All is well.  Many blessings to your little group and your transcripts working group.  You are all doing very good work.  Enjoy your life each day and keep on keeping on as you have been.

What are the possible outcomes of the situation [name removed] is dealing with?

Question: What are the possible outcomes of the situation [name removed] is dealing with?
 --
We are here tonight with you.

There are many possible outcomes, as is almost always true.

The most likely that we see is that the judge calls in the Child Support people and orders the child removed from the bad situation.  We feel the judge is weighing the options now to make the right choice.

[Name removed] has the option to contact the judge with her concerns about the children.

Other options that seem less likely are that nothing is done and the karma is not resolved.  Clearly, the child’s welfare is an issue.  

Sometimes — and this will seem very cruel, we know, to you — the karma gets played out in front of you and you cannot stop it — no matter what you (Marion) try to do. 

We feel this is a lesser probability since the judge seems to be taking this case very seriously.  Wheels of justice turn slowly and government employees can be slow to act for many “reasons.”

Our suggestion to [name removed] is to do what she feels is right for the child and the children to the very best of her ability. 

Beyond that, she cannot control the situation or make it go away or stop.

There are a great many forces at work in this and it is a very complex bit of business to grapple with. 

As the older soul, [name removed] has a great deal of power and influence — much more than she realizes.  She is doing very good work and we commend her ability to do the work she is doing.

She has helped many people and will continue to help many people.  It is not an easy task that she has set out to do in this lifetime and many are benefiting from her willingness to go into such “troubling” situations.

We are with her at all times to provide what support she needs as she walks a fine line through a minefield of nastiness.

What message do you have for me tonight?

Question: What message do you have for me tonight?

All is well.  Everyone is exactly where they need to be tonight.

Yes, the energy is moving and moving very quickly.  Times such as these can be glorious if you are willing to flow with what shows up.  They can be very stressful if you try to hang onto what was before.

The more you can allow yourself to move, the easier your life will be.  The more you can share your learnings, the easier it will be for others.

Many things will be changing all around you.  Allow yourself to be enthusiastic when you hear or learn of changes.

It is all part of the necessary movement of your planet to the next stage of evolution.

Be compassionate and patient with those who are afraid or struggling.  Do not judge them – that will only add to their stress.

Do your daily exercises and practices that we gave last time.  Those are very important to remember.

Use all the tools you have already, and seek out new tools and new ways of doing things.

BE in the flow of All That Is Moving and ride the change like a surfer riding the high waves.

We are only reminding you of what you already know.

It is easy to forget when the “physical life” takes over your body and your life.  That is how it is supposed to work.  Part of the “Game of Life” is learning how to be in your physical body completely so that experience all of life and learning how to rise above it to connect with All That Is.

When you are able to do both, you are increasing both your physical self’s experience and your spiritual self’s experience.  Both can expand and grow in that way and learn from each other so that you become a more multi-faceted being than someone stuck in one or the other.

We give you love and comfort and good wishes for a fun journey.  Enjoy it!!  It is your own unique and wonderful journey.

Your entity.

What would be good for us to know about taking care of our own energy hygiene?

Question:  What would be good for us to know about taking care of our own energy hygiene?
--

We are here with you tonight.

This is a very important question and very important now with all the various things happening around you. 

Your ability to stay connected is vital to your health and well-being.  Disruptions of many things are highly probable in the near future so you can train yourself now to withstand what is coming.

The magnitude, pace and impact of the changes will be felt all over the physical world. 

As we have said before, the changes going on internally are visible in external ways — such as storm, earthquakes, earth movements, weather fluctuations, etc.

The cultural and physical (structural) changes are also happening at a very fast pace.  These are less obvious now, but will be revealed over the next few years.

In 5 years, you will look back with amazement at all that has been accomplished.  We told you about the split between those who feel joy and those who feel fear.  Those feelings right now are an undercurrent that will grow and become more visible throughout your year.

There will be many “shocks” that help to awaken people who are ready to wake up from the “dream” of being cozy in the “way it has always been.”

To answer your question with specific details, we suggest:

1. Daily meditation.  How long is up to you.  Connect to “All That Is” and spend whatever amount of time feels right for you.
2. Good diet.  Eliminate alcohol, cigarettes, chemicals, drugs, etc.  Eat a balanced diet that is right for your body type.
3. Eat consciously.  Be grateful for all that has been provided for you to nourish your body.
4. Exercise your body regularly in a way that works for you.
5. Be sure to get enough rest.
6. Balance your work and make sure you have time for play, study and rest (the 4 pillars).
7. Watch your thoughts.  Be aware of martyrdom, anger, arrogance, stubbornness, etc. 
8. Learn to see the good (God) in everyone and every situation and every person you interact with.
9. Be gentle and loving with yourself also.  Eliminate self-criticism of all kinds.  There is no room for that any more.
10. Fill yourself with the positive energy of LOVE!!!  At all times.  Whenever you feel depleted or  weak or tired, do something that is uplifting for you —music, art, prayer, exercise — whatever works for you.  STOP all activities and obligations if necessary to get yourself back into a good place.

We are always with you.  Be aware of that and rest in our loving embrace.  

Much love to you all,

Michael and friends

Any message from [recently deceased wife of a friend]?

Question: Any messages from [wife of a friend] after her transition this afternoon. 

[My crown chakra started buzzing before we even got into the meditation and by the time it was done, I was finished writing the message, then just sat in the quiet space until time was called.  I may even have dozed off – it was so peaceful there. ]

Answer:  Yes, I am here.  Thank you so much!  Your energy of the group is like a beacon of light calling out to me.

It was time to leave.  I am well and at peace.  It is both confusing and very comforting to be here.  There was a big group waiting for me, so know that I am very much loved and peaceful where I am.

They tell me there will be some adjustment and a re-orientation though that won’t take long, then I will go to the life review process.

I will be contacting [my husband] as he is receptive as he does the physical things that need doing after someone moves on.  Please send him my very deep love and let him know that “all is well” and we will be together again soon.

There is no reason to worry.  It will all go smoothly and I will help as much as I can from this side.  Please let him know that I am right next to him at all times and can feel his love so very deeply still. 

I feel very blessed to have spent my life with him.  He is a very beautiful soul.

Let him know that I am as close as his breath and even though I am no longer in a physical body, I am very much alive and very well in my spirit.  He can reach me through his heart or his mind at any time.

What skills and abilities did I bring to this life from past lifetimes?

Question: What skills and abilities did I bring to this life from past lifetimes?

Answer:  We are here with you — your entity and Michael for support.

You brought may skills from before — diplomacy, communications, rituals, compassion, writing, child-rearing, hospitality, grounding, connecting with All That Is, etc. You also brought in education and deep knowledge of how to create a good and comfortable life for yourself.

While you have had harsh lifetimes, those have not been the major focus of your lifetimes as they have been form some other people.  Yes, you have had hard times, but you have not been ill or destitute or living on the streets.

You brought a deep inner faith and knowing that you could maneuver through this life and find what you needed to be successful.  You may not have been conscious of that at times — your Essence was working to arrange your life for you so that now at your retirement, you are healthy, safe, comfortable and can enjoy the rest of your life with minimum stress or concerns about supporting yourself.

Because of this, you are able to help many more people than if you were constantly struggling. This is an Old Soul lesson also.  Old Souls are the leaders and way-showers for the rest of humanity. As you are calm and can create a good life, others can see that it is possible and you help to reduce the unnecessary stress around you. 

There is a “grand plan” and there are individual plans — all fitting together.  There is much choice about how and what and when and there is a great deal of work done by your Essence that you are not aware of.  Your Entity, Cadre and other Cadres are closely in touch to figure out how to move the planet forward in the best way.

On the physical level, you will see it happening and — if you pay attention — you can catch glimmers of what is being “discussed.”

All is well, so don’t stress about what and when and how.  Set your intentions and leave it up to us to make it happen.

Rest, relax and enjoy!

[At that point, I did just that — relaxed and floated in the nice warm energy until time was called.]
