ISBN: 978-0-557-08067-0 Published by Lulu.com Dedication This book is dedicated to Michael students, wherever they may be. And to all those who search for “answers” in these chaotic times. Acknowledgments Without all those who have collected and published Michael information, this work would not have been possible. It grew out of my own curiosity and desire to learn more, and as an exercise to relieve my “writers block” on other projects. Very special acknowledgments go to José and Lena Stevens, with whom I have studied for many years. These two are doing very important work in spreading the Michael Teachings out into the world. Their willingness to open their home, their lives and their hearts to Michael students is deeply appreciated. From the acknowledgments of the first edition of the Concordance: “It’s October 29 1993. We have just experienced a firestorm in Southern California consisting of over 15 major fires, destroying over 500 homes and 72,000 acres (almost 10 years to the day when I lost my own home to fire). It is hard to imagine what that is like without being here. The sober realization that we are all connected, that we need each other in order to survive is coming to us in many ways, through many sources, some of which seem to be tragedies beyond belief. Yet, beyond the appearances, there is a greater force at work, one which is expressed continually through Michael and the many Michael channels — it always delivers the message of love and hope.” Now, years later, the world has seen many, many changes. Accepting the lessons of living in our world at this time in history is a daily challenge and a daily gift. The Michael Teachings have provided me with incredible support in understanding myself and others no matter what is going on around me. Through my study of the Michael teaching and a deep desire to expand my awareness, I have had many wonderful experiences and met even more wonderful people. May your own life be filled with love, joy and deep peace wherever you are.

  • Soul Psychology: How to Clear Negative Emotions and Spiritualize
    Soul Psychology: How to Clear Negative Emotions and Spiritualize Your Life, 2010, 336 pages, Joshua David Stone, Ph.D., 0307757757, 9780307757753, Random House LLC, 2010 DOWNLOAD http://bit.ly/1Umjz2n http://goo.gl/RBBOj http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul_Psychology_How_to_Clear_Negative_Emotions_and_Spiritualize_Your_Life The words of Sai Baba, "God equals man minus ego," are echoed by Dr. Joshua David Stone in his seminal work, Soul Psychology. A veteran transpersonal psychologist and family counselor, Dr. Stone teaches us how our entire understanding of ourselves and others is completely changed when we integrate our soul into the way we live our lives. Based on eighteen years of Dr. Stone's practice, this book is not a psychological approach to spirituality. It is rather a spiritual approach to the psychology of everyday living.At the heart of Soul Psychology is emotional healing through the dismantling of the "negative ego," a psychological cancer that prevents us from acting in accordance with our soul's true nature and purpose. This negative energy drives us to find our security outside of ourselves; whereas the only true security is one that is grounded in having a right relationship with self and a right relationship with the Divine. To guide us onto this path of spiritual ascension, Soul Psychology offers a stimulating new viewpoint that expands the boundaries of traditional spiritual practice, providing a wealth of accessible and powerful meditations and exercises, including- The six-step process for healing and spiritualizing emotions- The spiritual science of the seven rays and the twenty-two chakras- Methods for clearing negative psychic energies that inhibit soul growth- The one hundred most common pitfalls and traps on the spiritual pathFrom the Trade Paperback edition.

  • MICHAEL READING CHART EXPLANATION 2021 Version
    MICHAEL READING For Mary Doe By Shepherd Hoodwin 99 Pearl Laguna Niguel CA 92677-4818 949-429-8792 ShepherdHoodwin (at) gmail (dot) com http://shepherdhoodwin.com March 27, 2021 INTRODUCTION According to Michael, each of us at the core is what they like to call a spark of the Tao or, you could say, a unit of consciousness in the All That Is. As this spark, we each decided a long time ago to begin a great journey or adventure that might be called planetary sentience. To be sentient, as Michael defines it, is to have consciousness that is complex enough to be capable of purely intellectual function, such as self-awareness and long-range planning. To be a planetary sentient is to play a particular game the universe offers that involves coming to the physical plane of a planet such as earth, inhabiting a life form such as the human form, and experiencing what that planet and life form have to offer. When we’re done, we ascend through the higher planes until we’re fully reabsorbed back into the Tao. That whole loop, from the Tao, through the physical plane and each of the six higher planes, and back to the Tao is called a grand cycle. In order to do a grand cycle, we need a vehicle, something that will anchor us into the seven-plane dimensional universe and carry us along this journey. That vehicle is called the essence, or soul. If you were going to take a road trip, you might first go to a car dealership to get a vehicle.

Can heredity alone account for the complex differences in people's temperaments and styles? The Michael teachings, an extraordinary body of channeled work, propose that we are each unique souls who deliberately take on a specific combination of traits to give us the experiences we seek. In this fascinating book, Shepherd Hoodwin expertly discusses these teachings from his vantage point as a Michael channel. Each step along the way, we make choices that shape our experience. For example, after committing to a series of lifetimes, we choose one of seven roles, or soul types: server, priest, artisan, sage, warrior, king, or scholar. These teachings address many age-old questions, such as "How did we become who we are? His unique analytical approach to channeling will help readers gain a firm intellectual understanding Journey of Your Soul: A Channel Explores the Michael Teachings what is involved. In his foreword, Jon Klimo, PhD, author of Channeling: Investigations on Receiving Information from Paranormal Sourcessays, "Shepherd Hoodwin has given us one of the best books to date about the phenomenon of channeling. Journey of Your Soul may well also be the best of the Michael books due to its clarity, thoroughness, and detail, and thanks to the fact that the author, an exceptionally clearheaded Michael channel himself, brings real integrity and authenticity to our understanding of Michael in particular and to the channeling process in general.

  • Comparison of Grand Cycles in Michael Students
    Grand Cycles Comparison of Grand Cycles in Michael Students What is a grand cycle? A “grand cycle” is defined as an “experience that begins when one’s essence [aspect] is cast from the Tao/Source/All That Is. It includes physical-plane incarnations and subsequent progression through the higher planes. It is complete when essence is fully reabsorbed back into the Tao [or integrated back into your True Energetic Self]. When you return to the Tao, you have completed that cycle with the physical plane. You can remain there indefinitely or begin another cycle. Those who go on to new cycles often choose to experience the physical plane from the point of view of a different essence role, in another entity, with a different essence twin, and on a different planet. This variety gives you and the universe depth of experience. Michael Teachings Glossary Note: According to Michael, the average number of cycles completed by human beings prior to becoming human is 3-4, whereas for whales and dolphins it is over 6 cycles (higher than average humanity). How was this information gathered? In the past few years, several Michael students have started exploring their own grand cycles (GC) on planets and other locations in the universe, asking various channels to provide some details with a question like this: Could you please describe the species, life cycle, planet, details on its evolution as a sentient species, notable traits, things learned as its role, etc.? Some of these grand cycles were shared by several Michael students and sometimes by the Michael Entity as well.

  • TRANSCRIPTS of MICHAEL CHANNELING SESSIONS - the ORIGINAL MICHAEL GROUP (Second Edition - Updated)
    TRANSCRIPTS OF MICHAEL CHANNELING SESSIONS - THE ORIGINAL MICHAEL GROUP (Second Edition - Updated) INTRODUCTION TERMS OF USE This document is intended to be provided freely but privately to “students” of what has become known as the “Michael Teachings” – MT for short. Readers may provide it freely and privately to other students of the Michael Teachings. It is not suitable as an introduction to the MT, or for people who are not yet mature students. Note especially that word “privately.” Readers do not have permission to publicly distribute this document or any portion thereof. The reason for this is explained below. SOME HISTORY In 1973, a few spiritual seekers in the San Francisco Bay area made contact through the Ouija board with a source of information that came to be known as “Michael.” In this document this will be referred to as The Original Michael Group – TOMG for short. The messages, amounting to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of pages, were handwritten or tape recorded at the time of reception. They were then typewritten, and photocopies were distributed to the members of the group. The group grew in number over the next two years until the summer of 1975, when the large group ceased their regular meetings. Afterwards, a core group of friends continued to meet occasionally to receive messages, and some private sessions were held until about 1983. This document is the actual, although incomplete, story of that group. A fictionalized account of TOMG was published in 1979 (in hardcover edition) by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro in her book, Messages from Michael (hereinafter abbreviated to “MFM”).

Michael's words were offered without alteration or interpretation for seekers, students, and skeptics alike. Pragmatic, insightful, and often witty, Michael insisted their work was simply to help questioners become more aware and better able to make their own decisions in life. Through this initial volume, Messages From Michael, and three more that followed, Michael spoke to thousands who found new understandings of themselves. Unfortunately imitators and frauds have since exploited the Michael teachings-but even they admit that Messages From Michael was the first source of the teachings.
