Rastus: can you explain more? Your post sounds quite interesting.

You say you never went beyond money and parlor tricks - so what more are you doing now when you realize there's more to your life than day-to-day living?

Why do you need to come out to your wife? Why is there such a large gap between what she knows and what you are doing, and what is it all about?

Me agrees! Thank you for your efforts, SD - I wish you much success in resolving whatever it is that is occupying your time right now... and of course I look forward with curiosity to the next session, when it is time for it to be.

I have a few questions again...

(1) What is the role of the brain? This is related to: what is the difference between soul and consciousness? Is the brain the carrier of the consciousness, which dies with the brain after a lifetime is over? If so, do memories accumulated in the brain (consciousness) get transferred to the soul at the time of death, or is this transfer and sharing of information already performed on an ongoing basis as we live? What are the interrelations between consciousness and the soul?

(2) Does the brain actually do any processing or store any memories, or is it just a gateway between the physical world and the spiritual where our soul and/or consciousness reside? Does consciousness equal brain, or is the brain just a gateway to the consciousness, which exists independently of the brain?

(3) The thing we are aware of, is it the brain/consciousness, or is it the soul? I'm guessing it is the brain/consciousness. But what then is the thing that we are aware of when astral projecting? Are we at that time still operating out of the consciousness, or out of the soul? If out of the consciousness, does each body (physical, etheric, astral) have a separate consciousness, or is it the same one in all cases? How does the brain fit in with that - what is its role during an astral projection? Is it a crucial component of it, or does it just sit there and idle until we return?

(4) If we are normally aware of only the brain/consciousness, how do we interact with the soul, and how can we become aware of the soul?

(5) When doing magic, energy is harnessed to achieve a particular result. After a successful application of magic, the results are effected without us truly knowing how they were brought about. But certainly in order for these changes to occur there must be knowledge somewhere which tells the energy how exactly to effect the desired changes. Since we are not consciously aware of the manner in which the changes are obtained, where is this knowledge stored? Who performs the low-level information processing that is required for magic to work and bring results into effect?

(6) There are people who appear to be born as though without a consciousness. Their brain appears to be paralyzed in that they don't learn to walk, or to talk, and they pretty much do nothing other than vegetate. Communication is restricted to the simplest forms. Doctors often don't really know what is wrong; the brain simply does not appear to be working properly. What is the spiritual situation with these persons? May it be they are empty bodies lacking an incarnated soul? Or is there truly some physical damage, and the soul is being trapped inadvertently until the next incarnation?

(7) Should a thoroughly incapacitated person as described above be taken care of throughout its lifetime, as is normally done, until it dies of natural causes? Or are we by nurturing it just prolonging the suffering of a trapped soul? Are the souls which are trapped like that suffering?

( How is it that different people have different levels of intelligence (narrowly referring to logical intelligence, or broadly also to other types)? Do the intellectual properties of a person have any relation to the properties of the soul which is incarnated in that person, in the sense that the qualities and experience of the soul are reflected in the person's intellectual capacities? Or is this unrelated, in the sense that an advanced soul can still consciously decide to incarnate in a mentally-retarded individual?

(9) Is there incarnation across species - e.g. a human incarnating in the next lifetime as a cow or a dolphin, or a frog incarnating in one of its future lifetimes as a human? Or are we humans some special class of soul, which works differently than others? If so, is there cross-incarnation in other species - e.g. a cat incarnating in its next lifetime as a dog?

Thanks SpectralDragon - I hope the answers to these questions will be of interest to other readers as well. [] I very much look forward to the mediation.

This is only my 2 cents and not necessarily relevant to others, however I would appreciate it if people wouldn't go so much into "arguing" with Michael, because it doesn't seem to me that getting dogged down in arguments is the reason these mediations are being done. It seems to me that the mediations being done are a scarce resource, and I think there are important topics which we haven't yet covered that would provide us with more understanding than arguing about particular topics does. I do not wish to offend anyone, I just offer this opinion for everyone's consideration.

"Common sense" is not as common as one might think, as people are of all sorts and come with different experiences. No I do not run this site, however I was moderator on a forum which is also very public and where we discuss matters of sex and relationships very freely and openly. In my experience the outcome of this openness has been very constructive and has resulted in general broadening of horizons for everyone involved. I would recommend against people maintaining prudish positions, and I do not understand why an ostensibly open-minded forum would want to bend over backwards to gain the sympathy of people who keep a closed-minded view on particular areas, e.g. sex. However if this is your policy, so be it... I will take note.

Thank you for your reply; I appreciate the response.

Hello Nay,

perhaps SpectralDragon understands, but I do not, and I'm betting there must be others that are having problems coming to terms with the policy in this case (esp. since we weren't allowed to see the original reply which was deleted, so how can we judge).

The way this comes across to me now is that discussions of sex are taboo on this forum, regardless of whether there is a worthy, knowledge seeking purpose behind it.

Would you be able to help people like me understand who is ostensibly being served (or protected) by this policy? Is deleting answers like that one necessary to protect schoolkids who might, dunno... read it, and get ideas? Ostensibly their development is best served by isolating them from any form of knowledge about these topics?

I would very much appreciate a public explanation so that we all can see the deeper reasons why such an intervention was necessary, and so that we might not violate the forum policies again in the future. Thanks.

I would also be interested in reading that. What's the big point in deleting answers? [?] [?]

Thanks SpectralDragon. I appreciate very much your effort in addressing these questions. The answers are very interesting. Thank you also for those I received privately. I look forward to the next session on Saturday, I hope too that there will be a lot of interesting new questions put forward by then. []

Just a couple more questions today... []

(1) On another forum (the Other Kin - Embracing Mystery forum) I read about people's experiences with "shadows". Stories about encounters were related by more than one person and the stories were consistent. Apparently these "shadows" are material folks, much like normal people, having weight and material presence, and are not able to pass through walls - they have been seen opening doors and closing them as they exit. The difference is that they appear grey, with no distinguishable features - like shadows, but essentially human-like in appearance. They appear to be passive-aggressive of sorts - they like to creep up and stand next to people's beds, or to actually encroach people on their beds, climbing on all fours above them while they are sleeping. Being receptive to these shadows is apparently not so good for the person, as they appear to have somewhat sinister intentions (wanting to control the person etc).

Do such entities exist, and if so, where, how, why, what from? Why do some people see them and some not? (I personally have not seen one.) Are they dangerous and how should they best be dealt with if encountered?

(2) Michael once mentioned that demons are mostly thought forms evolved into entities. How exactly does a thought-form differ from a soul? How does an entity which at its core has a thought-form differ fundamentally from an entity which at its core has a soul? Is a thought-form entity alive and how exactly does it become independent? Can thought-form based entities be more easily disposed of and sent into the eternal void? Would one want to do something like this to them in the first place (supposing that they behave sinisterly)?

OK, I think now I'm done with questions for the time being... I very much look forward to responses. [] If I asked too many I hope possibly the personal ones (my second post in this thread) would be given priority because they are of most immediate importance to me. However I will very much appreciate the responses to everything!

Thanks, SpectralDragon. How old are you, btw? What do you do in your life generally?

Cheers!

A few more questions from me:

(1) Do bad things really happen to good people, or is this in reality a very rare occurence? Looking at my life, I do not see anything physically bad having happened to me that wasn't somehow called for. Even when I behaved stupidly it seems I was somehow "protected" - I paid a price but it was an educational price that I was able to pay and felt was a good lesson when reflecting on it later. I have come to believe that good things happen to good people and that bad things are probably mostly called for. Is this a well-founded belief, or is it naive to think so?

Or is it perhaps that some people are sometimes more valuable than others and are thus "better protected" sometimes? Does it depend on the "quality" of one's spirit guides on how well "protected" one will be?

How does this go against the millions of Jewish people slaughtered in WW2? They didn't all possibly "have it coming" in some Karmic way, did they?

(2) Is it possible to distinguish somehow - perhaps intuitively - between a person whose soul has already undergone many incarnations, and people with souls that are entirely new to existence? Do people with many incarnations tend to be wiser? Do people with less incarnations (or who are in their first lifetime) conform to any stereotypes, e.g. behaving more foolishly and rashly, not being able to control themselves as well as people with many more incarnations behind them?

(3) Is there any truth to astrology? How might the time and place of a person's birth determine the person's character? And if it does, how did astrologists get their hands on the knowledge to be able to determine these things?

(4) There has been some talk about aspects of souls dividing into different entities (e.g. Samael and his human and arch-daemon aspect dividing and incarnating separately). Do souls join too, and what is the mechanism? Is Michael himself a union of many souls that existed before separately, perhaps in universes prior to others? Are we ourselves (or some of us) unions of multiple souls that were separate in previous incarnations? Why would souls join, or divide - can we learn more about this process?

(5) Does Michael have memories of his life on lower levels in earlier universes? I take it that at some point he or part of him was a human being, or similar? Does he remember sensations from the time he was in 3rd density - e.g. the smell of flowers, the feel of his limbs, etc? Where did his friends go that he made during those lifetimes? Are some of them equivalent "Michaels" in other solar systems or universes?

(6) Supposedly (as related by Robert Bruce) when we die we meet people who we were close to that died before us, and possibly we wait for other people to join who at the time are still living. What happens then, when everyone is collected? Where does everyone go? Does everyone stay in the big cosmic chatroom for a long contemplation of life's past adventures, or do we go to the great big train station and get a ticket for the next big thing? How much time passes between incarnations? What does one do in the meanwhile?

(7) Michael says that there are places like "hell" and that some (most?) souls will have passed through this experience some time. Does the soul consciously choose to pass through this place or is the choice made unwittingly?

( Are there any additional freedoms that a soul enjoys while not incarnated in a body? Can it go places, do things - such as being a spirit guide for an incarnated friend, or going to faraway stars and galaxies, or to places we cannot even contemplate i.e. on different planes than we know of? Is the soul completely free to how long it remains anywhere and what it does, or is there coercion or lack of choice, in particular for instance in the rebirth / reincarnation process?

Also, do the real names of people involved help answering these questions? I'd be happy to communicate the names of both of us to SpectralDragon if it helps if they are communicated to Michael. We are the only people with these names currently living in this country. It is possible that the names are also unique on Earth (across all people currently living).

What the heck, I'll just pop the personal questions too.

(1) Suppose an individual goes about his life not minding much the supernatural. Then at age 21 he discovers there might be something to "intuition", and begins to try to follow it. Intuitive feelings lead him to establish contact with a female, and then (right before meeting her for the first time) he experiences strong thought-form communication relating the future of the affair. The predictions (not so great and not so welcome) turn out to be 100% correct over a period of less than 2 years, except for a final happy conclusion which the individual pursues but eventually fails to occur. The individual blames this on his boneheadedness in misinterpreting and not following the final intuitive instructions (18 months after the original thought-form "vision") and he is now left without contact to this female (was supposed to be his future life companion), feeling quite perplexed and clueless.

Did the feelings referred to as "intuition" come from the individual himself or are they messages from another entity? What about the strong thought-form communication, which to the individual definitely appeared as thoughts coming from another entity? What entity is the likely source of this thought-form communication, which provided the original vision? Is this entity likely to have the individual's best interests in mind, or is it possible that it meant harm?

(2) When the above individual is in physical proximity to the female referred to above, he experiences strong visceral feelings of proximity to this person even when not knowing that the person is actually present. This has not happened recently due to lack of physical encounters between the individuals, but it did happen a year ago during a movie projection in a theatre. Feelings were felt by the individual strongly throughout the movie as though he is watching the film with the female sitting next to him, and then she turned out to be 3 seats away. Further, this individual has never experienced any such feelings when in the proximity of any other person.

What are those visceral feelings and why did they appear so strongly when in proximity of this person, but are not sensed when in proximity of others? Is there a connection between the two persons involved? The other person (the female) does not appear to be aware of any connection and does not appear to be receiving any signals whatsoever. Further, she believes that the male individual experiencing this is nuts. The individual experiencing this is left perplexed and humbly seeks an explanation.

These are important questions which have been lying on my mind for almost 2 years now and I still seek clarification. Contact with the female referred to is not possible, she is ignoring me completely. I went close to the point of suicide because of this, so I would very much appreciate it if this could be related to Michael and possibly explained to me... Thanks.

Thanks to SpectralDragon for this excellent and very interesting channeling. I have a few questions myself.

(1) Is there a fundamental spiritual difference (in terms of having a soul, etc) between humans and animals, e.g. cats, dogs, chicken, or there isn't? What about humans vs. chimpanzees or dolphins, who are perceived as nearly on human level in terms of brain development? Are these also spiritual entities on a path possibly to go through the human stage one day, or are they merely automatons with no consciousness?

Christianity believes there is chasm in that humans have souls and animals do not have them; I wish to know if this true or merely a bogus idea promoted by people who need this to feel alright about killing animals for eating.

(2) Michael refers to humans existing in a previous instance of this universe. Were these humans similar to the human race as we know it now - i.e. two legs, two arms, one head, two ears, two eyes, etc? Or were they completely different? Or just similar but different in details?

(3) Michael explains that this universe has been reborn 3-4 times while he was at this level of existence. How are entities such as human souls, as well as Michael himself, preserved at the time when the universe collapses and is reborn - supposedly at this time the universe is not amenable to hosting material bodies? Where do the souls go in the mean time?

(4) Also why does Michael say 3-4 times - which one is it then, 3 or 4? It seems strange that he would not know exactly.

(5) Michael expressed desires of moving higher in the hierarchy, so to speak. How many incarnations of the universe does he expect it to take before he graduates to the next level? Also how does the universe "remember" his position so that it can reinstate him when the universe is newly incarnated?

(6) The solar system can end before the end of the universe. What happens to Michael if the sun goes supernova?

(7) Apparently universes come to an end and are recycled (or reincarnated) sporadically. What exists beyond the level of a universe, and does that come to an end too? Will there be an end to all creation (i.e. all universes and levels above) or do we expect it to go on eternally?

( Where on the planet was Atlantis physically located, and can we expect it to be found ever or within our lifetimes? How advanced was their civilization in terms of technology - did they master technologies we do not yet have access to? How many humans were on Atlantis, and how come the whole race was allowed to self-terminate? Should there not be an intervention (i.e. on behalf of higher beings) to prevent destruction resulting from their volcano-tampering?

(9) In what timeframe (in Earth years) did the Atlantis civilization exist?

(10) How was the Moon created?

(11) Does enforcement of natural laws (e.g. gravity) require conscious operation of a higher-level entity? I.e. is some higher-level being involved in moving all the particles, or do they move simply on their own accord?

(12) Michael supposedly is a part of the Sun, or a part of the Sun is a part of Michael, if I understand correctly. Does Michael "make things happen" inside the Sun that would not happen on their own accord, or do these things happen by themselves? If the former - could Michael do with the Sun potentially anything he pleases, e.g. causing a big solar ray outburst? If not - i.e. the Sun performs on its own accord without Michael's intervention - then what does it mean actually when Michael says that he is the Sun / that the Sun comprises parts of him?

(13) How does Michael feel about abortion - i.e. killing a human fetus inside the womb while still in the initial stages of development? Is this an okay thing to do or does it screw things up significantly? How about morning-after pills, which are essentially the same thing, just much sooner (while the fetus is still just a few cells)? If the morning-after pills are OK, then where exactly is the limit? When does abortion (okay) become murder (not okay)? Or is murder an okay thing too, or at least in some cases? Would it have been an okay thing to kill Hitler?

I have more questions on a more personal level, but I've written much already - I'd like to see if the above are welcomed or can be answered in the first place... I cannot overestimate my respect and gratitude for SpectralDragon's effort. I send a felt thank-you in your direction.
