The group, who had been meeting regularly since the early s, had started using a Ouija board. Instead, they hoped to connect with some kind of higher intelligence who could guide them in their personal and spiritual lives. Their wish came true after a dinner party on 12 August The energy in the room had changed, The Michael Handbook: A Channeled System for Self Understanding by everyone. And The Michael Handbook: A Channeled System for Self Understanding one of them took hold of the board it spelled out:. Some questions were private and personal, some were philosophical, some were deeply spiritual. Gradually, many others came along to the group sessions to ask their own questions. The Ouija board is now long gone but the questions and answers have never stopped. The same source has continued to give us a detailed, mutli- faceted system of psychological and spiritual insight. It is a body of The Michael Handbook: A Channeled System for Self Understanding that contains just about everything we need to know in order to understand who we are at every level. The general teachings are freely available all over the internet. If you want a personal reading, however, you must contact of the many channels see bottom of page. There are now many people around the world who can channel Michael. To answer that we have to start with a fundamental but controversial concept: reincarnation. To that end, each of us is going through a long and often difficult process of reincarnating, living many different lives in many different circumstances. At the end of this learning process, when all there is for us to experience as a separate being has been experienced, our soul unites with others — about a thousand other souls who emerged into being at the same moment with us. Each of us is a part of a fragmented whole, a fragment of our own entity. As we The Michael Handbook: A Channeled System for Self Understanding individually, our entity evolves collectively. Eventually, the 1, or so souls making up an entity will form an integrated whole, a far greater body of consciousness and intelligence than any single soul. After re-integration, our The Michael Handbook: A Channeled System for Self Understanding is no longer a separate fragment but an integral part of a higher intelligence. The being we call Michael is one of these—an integrated entity. Not a single being, but a group, a collective. The name we are called is Michael. That is a convenience and not a truth. Only a small fragment of this entity had that name. We are integrated fragments of a larger entity and we come to you from the Causal plane. To be exact, the group consists of precisely 1, souls who have all completed their own process of reincarnation. We have been artists, bankers, barters, barristers, comedians, cemetery guards, dilettantes, governors, guards in many shapes and sizes, grave diggers, horsemen, jugglers and clowns, lute players, maids, mercenaries, merchants, misanthropes, military strategists, noblemen and women, peasants, priests, prostitutes, rebels, revolutionaries, robbers, students, teachers, temptresses, viceroys, waifs, and witnesses to the most unspeakable acts of cruelty and to the most loving acts of kindness and devotion. And according to Michael, having evolved beyond the cycles of reincarnation, they no longer reside not on the Astral plane of existence which is our home between livesbut on the higher, Causal plane, a level of pure thought and intelligence. Their mission, for now, is to teach souls like us how to evolve — not how to get out of the human experience, but how to get more out of it; how to evolve within it and through it:. We offer a way to human understanding based on our own experience, first as humans ourselves in both tranquil and troubled times and now as the reintegrated fragments of a Causal body no longer alive as you know it but still with keen awareness of what being human entails. We have communicated this way for approximately years. Perhaps the best way to summarise the Michael teachings is to simply introduce the key concepts one at a time and in an order that makes sense. Essence is just another word for spirit or The Michael Handbook: A Channeled System for Self Understanding it is the innermost being of a person; it is our true nature. Your essence is your true self; the ego is a false self. Warriors : assertive action. Kings : commanding action. Servers : moral duty. Priests : moral vision. Sages : communicative expression. Artisans : creative expression. Scholars : objective understanding. Soul type does not change from one lifetime to the next. See: Soul types: the seven roles in essence. Evolution of the soul comes about by experiencing life in many different ways, making important choices within those life experiences, and learning from the consequences of those choices. Key experiences and choices are set up by the soul in spirit before each lifetime see life plan. Each of these stages actually involves seven levels, from start to finish. And each of those takes at least one lifetime to complete. Typically it takes well over a hundred lifetimes to complete the sequence. Souls also progress through further stages beyond the cycle of physical reincarnation. Entities themselves evolve into greater levels of integration and higher consciousness. A life plan is the outline plan of key events and circumstances for a given lifetime, formulated by the soul with its guides while in spirit, before taking birth. The life plan is designed to ensure that certain desired experiences and choices are encountered during the life, with the agreement and cooperation of other souls involved. For example, the soul may desire to learn about abandonment, and so will plan an experience of abandonment by a parent in early childhood. Another soul will make an agreement to be the abandoning parent, and will incorporate this event into their own life plan. Once in physical, human form, there is little or no memory of the life plan. The incarnate soul undergoes a kind of temporary amnesia. A life plan will often include a specific task to be undertaken in the second half of life. This life task is usually the main focus of the life to come, and much of what is set up in the first half of life is actually preparing the personality for this undertaking in the second half. Quite often, the pull to realise and begin the life task puts the personality through a crisis. Each one involves a significant transformation in the self that is largely unavoidable:. Each of the seven monad-transitions is like a mini-death-and-rebirth. On each occasion, the inner self must let go of an old identity and accept a new one. This can go more or less smoothly or it can throw the personality into a crisis and even a rebellion. The Michael Handbook: A Channeled System for Self Understanding so, the personality will have the opportunity to revisit the abdicated transition in later monads. For example, a person approaching mid-life might suddenly face unresolved issues connected with coming of age or even earlier. Not all lives include all monads, however. A life that ends in childhood, for example, will pass through the first two monads and then skip to the last two monads. We often live shortened lives for various reasons — because it is our karma to experience an early death, for example, or because we want to help another soul experience the loss of a child, or simply because of an unplanned accident. To complete a level of soul growth, however, it is necessary to undergo all seven monads in one life. They include a goal lifelong motivationa mode way of acting and an attitude way of perceiving. They are selected by The Michael Handbook: A Channeled System for Self Understanding soul before birth specifically to help the human personality perform the life task to come. It is certainly possible to ask a Michael channel to get your overleaves for you. I, for example, was told that I have a goal of growth, a mode of perseverance and an idealistic attitude. Having observed myself and others very closely over the last ten years or so, I completely agree with all of these. See: Overleaves — the Structure of The Michael Handbook: A Channeled System for Self Understanding. There are seven options:. For example, if the life task involves being in a leadership role then the chosen goal is likely to be dominance. See: Goal: the driving force of the personality. It involves the inner or outer use of energy. There are seven centres in all: emotionalintellectualmoving physicalinstinctivehigher intellectualhigher emotional and higher moving higher physical. In normal life, however, the personality tends to adopt either the emotionalintellectual or moving centre to assimilate its sensory experiences. In addition, there is a secondary centering by which the personality processes immediate reactions to those experiences. If the overleaves chosen before birth make up the true personality, the other traits and habits instilled into the person during childhood and beyond make up an artificial or false personality. Whereas the true personality reflects the wise choices and higher consciousness of the soul, the false personality reflects the ignorance and immature perspective of the young person. Whereas the true personality knows no fear, the false personality is riddled with it.
