November 2009: The rage and movement surfaces
This month, the rage surfaces. Just like bubbling lava that’s been deep underground and now longs to surface, so too in this month will anything you’ve been keeping stored inside you. Do you fear this? Do you fear that the inner parts of you that now seek sunlight are dark and should remain hidden? They are still a part of you, as much as the parts of you that you show yourself and others. Now, while we used the word “rage,” it would be inaccurate and incomplete to describe the majority of ...

Arrogance Part 2: Letting go and healing
  This is Part 2 of the channeling of Arrogance, expanding the chief features of the Michael Teachings framework.   For the previous article, dealing with a full description on the dynamic and energy flow of Arrogance, see Part 1.We will start by briefly repeating what arrogance is and then move on to healing and balancing methods. Arrogance is built upon the fear of vulnerability. We have defined vulnerability in the past as a "coming forward" with the complete Self: It has nothing to do wit... Read Full Story
Arrogance: The Fear of Vulnerability
  This is fourth in a series on expanding the chief features of the Michael Teachings framework. In this channeling, the focus is on Arrogance. Arrogance is built upon the fear of vulnerability. We have defined vulnerability in the past as a "coming forward" with the complete Self: It has nothing to do with allowing another person unrestricted access to your energetic core. Vulnerability is about bringing yourself forward as you are.   In Arrogance, there is a constant sense of defense agains... Read Full Story
What is "good" channeling, anyway?
I've been fascinated by channeling since being a teenager. Curious. Passionate. Wanting to channel myself, I suppose. I gobbled up as much as I could find: Seth. Emmanuel. Michael. Especially Michael. So many things are included in what channeling is. We don't say someone was "channeling Mozart" for nothing. An inspired work of art can be channeling, like Wagner's operas, great paintings, a great speech, or even energy work. What we normally call channeling is when there's a focus on bringin...

A parable about art, beauty, and blame.

Be in the Moment: Let Go and Do Nothing
Last week I practiced being dead. It was the flu. When I told someone that, they asked me, "Was it the throwuppy flu?" At the risk of entering The Land of TMI, no, it wasn't the throwuppy flu. It was the you're-dying-so-you-might-as-well-get-used-to-being-dead flu. So for several days I did nothing. Reading was out of the question — not only were books simply too heavy to hold, but they made no sense. Black shapes swam on white pages. It was much easier just lying still under 20 blankets, sta...

October 2009: Restoring Balance
October is a month of restoring balance. September was all about uncovering things, buried facets of old patterns, but this month you’ll be striving to maintain order and find balance again in what feels yet again to be a very unbalanced world. For many of you, this process will be easy, facile, and unthinking, but more of you will likely react to the flailing efforts of those around you and strive ever harder to maintain your own balance while people around you are plummeting from their tigh...

Martyrdom and Healing the Victim Consciousness
[Channeled Sept 09] The Michael Teachings concept of the chief feature, or "chief stumbling block," is loosely translated as a form of ego; a pattern that blocks your perception and awareness from the totality that you are. Every human being alive has chief features — most of us have several. All of the chief features are related to two things — the perception of separation and the fear of being fully oneself.  Chief features are expressed in different flavors. One of these seven chief fe... Read Full Story

Manifestation: Why Having is Better Than Wanting
I've got nothing against the Law of Attraction. I think its tenets, at their core, are exactly right and true. I know the Law of Attraction works. I know we create our reality. So what's the problem? It's in the interpretation. We assume, because we are human people living in human bodies on the physical plane, that life is expressed through tangibles. Through "stuff," in other words. In addition, we've just come from a good 2000 years of exploring human interaction through the lens of wealth... Read Full Story
