"NOW Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall…

I want to comment on the special Troy recently offered.
This was a special private chat room, just for him and I.
The main thrust of our private session was Verbal Comportment, or how I can effectively communicate with other people without overloading them.
I'm not sure if he used exactly those words, (though he SURE told me to "Slow Down"!) But what I "gleaned" from the help I've received from a BUNCH of people is that I've been talking to people from the "Subject Line" of an email, when I S…

Well, not really but that is exactly the way I feel here. I'm smack dab in the middle of Baby and/or Young Soul land, more Baby I suspect than Young. I get completely overwhelmed with the vibrations of people around me with their feelings of hopelessness, despair, sorrow, and desolation. You see them pass by you in stores and restaurants and the looks on their faces read like an open book. They want someone to care about their needs, to share their pain, to show an interest in them as if their j…

As of yesterday, 11/14, I am making a long visit back home to visit family. This will be a 3 week visit. It is the first of such visits since I have come across the Michael teachings. As far as a little background information, my dad is a pastor in a small southern baptist church. I went to church this morning, Sunday school and worship service, as a matter of fact :-) I don't have too much choice since its either do what they do or stay home alone and there would be no sense coming all this way…

Thanksgiving is probably my most favorite holiday of the year. There are no expectations other than to show up, socialize, and eat. When I was growing up, my mom's family would gather together and it was quite a site. Between a combination of of my maternal grandmother's 5 children and their offspring and their offspring and all the boyfriends/girlfriends, it was not unusual to have show up what appeared to be about 30+ people in a very small old house.
This year, I had made plans during the su…

So here I am, spending a 3 week stint at home during this holiday season. This trip covers my birthday, my mom's birthday, and the Thanksgiving holiday. I haven't been getting home too often lately so I've definitely missed out on all the drama associated with typical families. Boy, have I missed out! My sister who is 3 years younger is a single mom of 2 teenage girls who are deep into the throws of the 3rd IM and power hungry Chief Features. To help my sister out, you have my semi-retired paren…

This was posted on the most recent "Masters of the Spirit World" website and I found it particularly appropriate and appealing. All too often we think that getting the various skills will avoid the actual problems that need to be worked through--as though getting the skills can be in lieu of the lessons.
QUESTION: I am feeling stuck! I have done so much work on myself and still I feel as if I can’t get past my hurdles. I have learned hypnotherapy, energy work, nutrition, meditation, emotional c…

Dear Guide:
Help restore my awareness and connection to the other side. I realize I am here to experience this plane but at times it is so over whelming with all of the strife and turmoil that takes place here. I feel so small and insignifcant. Do I have anything to contribute? Does it really matter? Does anyone care? How have we managed to survive this long without destroying ourselves? I wish people didn't have to go…

As I've been undergoing a series of medical conditions, I've focused increasingly on diet as a partial control. Over the past few years, I've spent hours reading up on nutrition, phytochemicals, food supplements, the hypoglycemic index, and packaging labels. Yet, depending on which aspect of diet that you're focusing on, the language differs and no major site charts those differences comprehensively. Michael has some unique terminology and definitions, but they are hardly unusual--the world of d…

Having spent a good portion of the past few months reading Michael channeling, one message that really struck home was their continuous iterations about imprinting, aka tape loops, etc.--how much imprinting is part of the false personality and ego, and how nearly inescapable it is. Its magnetic influence begins at birth and is constantly reinforced with every one of our interactions with others. Becoming eccentric doesn't really avoid it, one just adopts a different set of imprints, but many of…

Of all the headlines that I expected to see when I brought up HuffPo this afternoon, the one proclaiming Barrack Obama as this year's Nobel Peace Prize award, would have been waaaay down there on my list--actually, it wouldn't have been on the list as even idle speculation. What a canoe-tipper! Too soon? Yes, I think so. Pre-accomplishment? Yes, indeed. The reasoning? Now, I have to agree with the idea that putting the weight of the Nobel Committee behind the global efforts to end nuclear armame…

Did you ever hear a song and automatically associate it with a soul age? I think the beat of this song is catchy and to me it screams Young Soul. If it sounds familiar, it played at the beginning of the movie 21.

Yes, i understand that every life must end, uh-huh
As we sit alone, i know someday we must go, uh-huh
Oh i'm a lucky man, to count on both hands the ones i love
Some folks just have one, yeah, others, they've got none
Stay with me...
Let's just breathe...
Practiced all my sins, never gonna let me win, uh-huh
Under everything, just another human being, uh-huh

Humans, especially humans in the modern urban world, take so much for granted and rarely ponder the ramifications of simple statements, such as Michael's "all is choice." Or, that all species have a single "hive soul" for each of them until their intelligence reaches the point that they can imagine. Then, each incarnated life will be part of their own Essence or soul. Why is "imagination" the key point in evolutionary development that allows for choice?
Animals make decisions all of the time, s…

This is one of the most remarkable shows I've ever seen. It gave me an appreciation for my country that I've never quite had since I was a youngin and still quite innocent and gullible. I remembered each of my visits and each visit I wished I'd taken the time to make. I wish I could make a trek of all the parks, knowing what I know now. I've been to Yellowstone three times, once as a day trip when I was a kid, and twice as an adult, camping out for several days with each of my twin daughters on…

Midnight ruminations about the nature of choice have been plagueing my before sleep thinking. Somewhere along the way, it seems to have become an expectation within the Michael community that if Essence makes a pre-life choice that a) it will be beneficial; and/or b) it will bring one happiness. The corollary seems to be that if Personality makes a choice that it will be the "right" one--not that all choices are right. The fine-tuned nuance that there are no accidents because Essence can forsee…

If you did not catch the first segment tonight, look for its rerun and definitely catch next Sunday's show. There are times when I feel so mired down in young soul mentality and overt commercialism and then I catch a view into a different perspective and realize some have been fighting "the good fight" all along. John Muir borders on being a TS for his most unusual perspective and zealous love of the wilderness -- his belief that all life was equal. Also, his survival in the wild is remarkable.…

In honor of Labor Day, and a series of gloom and doom articles, one of which includes the catchy title, "Zero Job Growth during the Past Decade," I posted the following on HuffPo:
What few seem to realize is that this is a problem is global proportions and that has rather little to do with any single presidency or administration. It fell to Bush's watch to shepherd a decade of zero growth. Was it HIS fault? No, not really. There were definitely a few things that he and the Repu

I just finished up with breaking all of the chat transcripts for the past 10 years into individual searchable topics in the newly forming TLE Database. That's about 800 entries. It wasn't my first time through the transcripts, but in someways it was more impacting than my first read, as I understood more this time around. And, if I choose to do it again in a couple of years hence, I'm sure that I'll pick up on things that went over my head this time around. But, one word or theme reverberated th…
