Transcript of the channeling (with questions)

Good afternoon. We are here.

We are pleased to be speaking with you today. We have noticed that several of you have some curiosity about us, about who we are and about the process of us coming together that eventually evolved in us being here with you today. So we will tell you a little more about that.

As you know, we are four, yet we are one. Now, that doesn't mean that we are "reunited", but that we are acting together as one as has been previously discussed. We are four - and you are familiar with some of our more individual energies. Most of you are: you have read material, you have felt energy, you have studied our words ... you will have that familiarity with us. So we would like to tell you more about our "individuality", and we would like to tell you also about what we do as a group. We think you might find this interesting.

Many of you know the Michael aspect of us, and you know your perception, of course, of the Michael aspect of us, which is authoritative yet warm, with a dry sense of humor. You this about us. We are pleased that you know this about us. There is more to us, of course : you yourselves present a face to the public, but that is not the entirety of you. So you have not yet seen the entirety of us, and it is through our working together as a group that we hope to be able to express more of our entirety to those of you who are on the Earth plane of existence. It is not out of a need for expression, necessarily, that we hope to do this, but it is because through the entirety of us we can give more to you.  You see, it is through the entirety of you that you give more to one another. Why would we not want to express more of who we are so that you can use that energy, you can use that knowledge, you can use that humor to be more fully who you are?

It may not help for us to tell you more about our Michael aspect in terms of descriptive words. So we will allow you to take a moment and to experience what the totality of our energy feels like. That is not to say that some of you are not already aware of more of the totality of us, but we invite you now to take the opportunity to feel what we are presenting to you.

If you will close our eyes. Take a moment .... and we are here. [silence as everyone went into a meditative state]

Let us lift that a little so that we may speak to you more. You may open your eyes. That is more of the totality of us. Those of you who are energetically sensitive felt what you felt.

Now let us move into the Seth aspect of us. (humorously) We are not as a dry as we like to make out that we are. We have a fair amount of humor, and you have likely noticed this. You have read our words. You see more than what is there on the page, do you not? You feel the love and the acceptance that comes from us. We do not - none of us do - we do not judge you in any of your conditions. We simply tell you where you are. There is no judgment in that. But we tell you where you are so that you can know more who you are. You see?

And we do not hold back when we tell you where you are, because to us it matters not. All of the lessons that you are engaged upon are beautiful to us. All of the lessons: even the painful, or horrific, or devastating lessons. They are all part of the beauty that is what happens when you are part of the Earth plane. So, we are now in our more Seth aspect, and we would like you again to feel the totality of us. So again, we will bring our energy down and you will feel what you will feel. So you may close your eyes, and we are here.

[meditative silence]

And we will lift that a bit and you may open your eyes.

Now, you are feeling energy - what does this this is tell you about who we are?  Would it not also be useful for us to explain more you? Well, the energy comes along with the words as you know!  You are - all of you - quite energetically aware. We are finding this a pleasure to interact with. Not everyone is like this, you know.

So again, moving back a bit. When each of us are in our individual aspect we are able to present, to you to those of you on the Earth plane, a portion of who we are, and we do this via sending energy through channels like the one you are looking at, who then translates this energy into words. And you know that much of our words - that is translated energy - comes across very much the same, and yet there are differences. How could there not be? We are coming through different channels, different translating devices if you will. So there are individual differences based on the channel's perceptions, based on who the channel is. We have spoken a little bit about this recently - some of you have heard this. Again, we present as much of ourselves as we can, but what comes through is a portion of who we are.

Robert is here, and would like to speak a little. Robert doesn't often speak as Robert. Robert is the dramatic one! Robert has a flair for the gesture. You may have seen these gestures.  Robert is a bit of a performer. Robert likes to talk about himself in the third person. So, you may feel some of Robert's energy now. Simply Robert - now.

[A dramatic gesture and then a meditative silence]

And Robert lifts his energy.

Robert has spoken through channels but chooses often to engage himself, if you will, in other projects.  We can speak more about of more of the projects that each of us are engaged upon in our "day-to-day lives" that may be of interest to you. But first we would like to introduce you specifically to a Aesha.  Aesha has of course been here the entire time.  Aesha has a hard time removing themselves from the totality of everything because Aesha is everywhere, and since Aesha operates simply on a vibrational level, it is difficult to to separate Aesha.  However we will do so for you now. Welcome Aesha.

[A very gentle gesture and then a meditative silence]

Now Aesha is going to step back a little to their customary position all around you.  And we will talk a little about how we came together to work as a group of four - as a quadrate.

We are engaged, as you may be aware, on multiple projects on our plane of existence. Part of our lessons we are involved in is staying in supporting the lessons that you are engaged in. So a great deal of our energy, each of us, is involved in assisting you with various aspects of your lives. Some of this comes through energetically in terms of words that you can then take, read, assimilate and bring it into your life in order to see things differently or to change your perception.

This is all very wonderful, but that is only a part of who we are, as we were explaining earlier. The larger part of what we do that affects you is simply energetic. As you know, everything is energy anyway. So why would we separate out the energetic part of ourselves that ends up in words from the energetic part of ourselves that simply surrounds you and supports you?  We are always here. We are always with you. We are always accessible to you - all of us. It is only in your minds that you need to separate our energy from yours.

Again, we will tell you how we came together to work as a group. But first we will tell you more of what we do on a day-to-day level.

As we were saying, we are engaged on in supporting you in your efforts. We have existed on your plane of existence and we have experience about that. We have since expanded our perception because of our growth into other planes of existence, and it is through our larger (if you will) perception that we are able to assist you with yours. So that is very much what we do. However there are plenty of mid-causal plane lessons that we are engaged upon learning ourselves.  Another great part of our energy is engaged in making in our way through our causal plane lessons, just as you are making your way through your physical plane lessons. Because of our wider perspective, though, we are able to divert much of our energy to your exploits in your lives and your well-being, while at the same time we are tending to ours. If you will think of us as similar to what a teacher or parent is in your perspective, where you are at once yourselves and at the same time you are assisting someone with their own lessons, this is much like how we operate.

Many times through our own causal plane lessons we try new things, just as you try new ways of approaching your own challenges that arise within the context of your lifetime. For some time now we have been working on various ways of moving through certain causal plane challenges, and we determined that in order to do so successfully that it was necessary to revisit some of what we have done before. All of you do this in the Michael Teachings system. Many of you are looking at lessons particular to a certain soul age level. But yet you visit lessons and opportunities that are typically associated with a different soul age level. So this is much like what we are doing now. We are revisiting some of the realities of where you are, but seeing them through our wider perspective.

(humorously)  We're sitting around with a cigar and a drink, thinking "how can we do this?" And we decided that it was a lot of fun interacting with you folks in the past -  so why don't we get together and see what that feels like doing it as a group?  We are all used to interacting with the Earth plane and physical plane separately, if you will, even though our awareness of separateness is different from your awareness of separateness.  So we decided to come together and to work together in this way. There is a certain amount of information that we are interested in passing along to you, and that is what we are engaged in doing.

After this information is passed along, will we still work together? Probably! Isn't there an infinite amount of information that we could possibly pass along to you?  Well, in some ways, yes, and many of you have remarked that upon of the spiritual information coming through multiple sources is simply different ways of saying the same thing over and over.  So all of us - and we say all of us we mean the collective everyone - on the causal plane is a very interested in assisting those of you on the Earth plane because this assist us.

There are many of us are beyond the four that you were speaking to now that are transmitting a great deal of energy in your direction. This is resulting in a similar message coming through in many different ways, and we've been doing this for some time - all of us - and so you will notice things almost being repeated. Well, it's not for the sake of repetitiveness, it's for the sake of reaching different people at their own right moment in their own right way. There is no right way of sending this message - it is simply there. All of us on the causal plane are very interested in helping you be more of You, and there are almost an infinite number of ways of helping you do this. It's up to who you are in your perception as to what works for you in terms of what you can hear and what you can then take with you. It matters not to us.

Again, we are in our experimental mode and we are having a great deal of fun with this and we look forward to speaking to many more of you in the future.

We have told you a little bit about us and we anticipate that you may have questions. There is of course much more to tell, so we will invite your questions now.

Questions and Answers

Question: When each of the four energies came in, I immediately got 4 distinct colors, one for each entity. The energies just manifested as colors. Would they say this is how the energy appears or is it just one different way of interpreting it?

Energy can be interpreted in a variety of ways, and we were having some difficulty last night, expressing what our perception is on the causal plane.  We were expressing it in terms of vibration, but we were also expressing it in terms of color, and certainly on the physical plane level, there is a direct correlation between color and frequency of vibration. You can think of this as a spectrum of light,  if you will, which is a type of energy, a type of vibration and each color vibrates at a slightly different rate.  As you are visually oriented as well is emotionally oriented, then this was a meaningful way for you to interpret our energy. We would not say that it is the only way to interpret our energy, but it is an extremely useful way to interpret it, and we are pleased that we were able to a project energy in such a way that it became visually meaningful to you.

Question: I was wondering, you said you are a teacher and you can tell us where we are in our existence - do you have a teacher?

We have many teachers. Ironically you are our teachers even though you have less (maybe) than awareness of this, but we learn through you, not only because of your physical plane experience but because you are also involved on much more than the physical plane. So you are part of our teacher also.

But there are more formal teachers for us?  Absolutely.   Everyone - at any level - is always be engaged in supporting the efforts of those involved in other levels of experience.  So yes, we do have teachers.  We are sometimes feeling nudged ourselves!   (laughter)  We our share of difficulties as well with our own experiential challenges.  To you we seem excessively wise and "all knowing" and have this wonderful wide perspective, but we have times of feeling very small as well, because we have this wider knowledge of All That Is, and we know that we are that and we are also "not quite that".  There is a level of (you might feel it as ) frustration at times.  We don't have the sense of time impatience that you do, but we are aware of all that goes on at all times. Again, we suffer our share of difficulties or resistances, we will say, to our own experiential challenges.

Question: Is there any other way of thinking about energy except in terms of energy and vibrational rate. What is energy? Is there any other way of defining it except in those terms?

We would like to offer you an analogy. This may take some time.

Imagine if you will, that you are standing on the beach. You are barefoot. You feel the sand beneath you. The sand has been warmed by the Sun. So the sand contains the essence of the Sun, the energy of the sun. You feel that in your feet. It is quite hot. It is starting to become uncomfortably hot. You are feeling a great deal of energy coming up through the soles of your feet and you are looking around now for some shade, or to see if you can make it to the water's edge where it is cooler because this energy is now coming up through your feet at such a rate that it's quite uncomfortable. There are those of you who experience energy on a very physical level, so thinking about it in terms of vibration is an intellectual exercise that is almost meaningless. You need to feel it!

We would like, then, for you to think about energy in terms of how it makes you feel. There are those of you who can feel energy in your hair!  Hair sort of feels lifeless to some of you, but to others it is something with a consciousness of its own, for indeed it has a consciousness - every part of your body has one. So if every part of your body has a consciousness, then every part of your body can feel energy, and every part of your body then deals with slightly differently because each part of your body is of composed of something slightly different.  You may want to think about energy in terms of what you might feel on your skin, versus what you might feel on a heart level, versus what you might feel on a gut level, versus what you might feel in your hair, or any part of you.

That is what we would like to impart to you.  Because everything is energy, it can be experienced by you on the physical plane in a variety of ways, and there is no one way to do so.  So if you are comfortable experiencing energy as color, then that is what works for you.  If you are comfortable experiencing energy as the physical sensation, then that is what works for you.  If you experience energy as something that you translate in your head as words, or thoughts, or pictures, then of course that is what works for you.  Because the physical plane is confined to form and time, it is difficult to experience energy on any other basis.

Think about that.  The physical plane is nothing but form: three dimensions, as well as time.  Energy, therefore, like everything that you experience, can only be experienced - truly known by you - on that basis. There is no judgment attached when we say this.  It is simply a fact of the reality in which you exist.

So when we talk about energy as a vibration, that's not necessarily something that you can really wrap your mind around, that you can really feel that you are experiencing. So you have to make experiencing of energy a very personal matter. It takes really knowing who you are to know how you experience energy.  And each one of you are going to experience it slightly differently. What is true for you is not the same as it is for another.  Have we answered your question?  (yes)

Question: The energy is so strong for me. I almost feel like I'm going to faint—it's way stronger than it was last night. So I'll try to make sense.

I wanted to ask: there are many people in this world now that say that the vibration of our physical plane is changing rapidly, elevating, and the veil (or whatever you want to call it) between our world and other dimensions is becoming thinner and easier to transgress. Do you on the mid-causal plane experience any difference in this energy shift when interacting with the channels here, if the shift is in fact happening. And can you talk about also where the shift is going in our world? What will eventually happen? How will our experience with other dimensions change?

As you  - on your planet collectively - move through your experiential growth lessons, it does affect the overall vibration that surrounds you in terms of the energy that is of your planet. So we would say that, yes, that rate of vibration has been changing. It will continue to change.

Now has the rate of this vibrational change increased lately?  Well we would say that, as we were saying earlier, there's been a great deal of energy transmitted toward the physical plane. There is no "grand design" to do anything in particular with this.  It is simply part of the agreement that you all hold. you understand.  There is a collective global agreement to move things along at a different rate.   This is something that all of you are taking part in.   Every one of you - not just in this room, but globally - you have a collective agreement to make some changes that affect your planet. This will have a variety of effects. So,e of you are becoming impatient with your lessons. Some of you would like to see more things happen.

We do expect there to be a continuing snowball effect of of an increased level of movement. This is partly due to the the effects of momentum as you collectively move on through your experiential growth lessons.  In other words, through the soul age.  You become interested in having different kinds of experiences collectively, as a whole.  So if the overall vibratory rate of all of you is centered around relationship issues, as opposed to issues of acquisition and power (you see where we are headed with this?), if collectively you were mostly interested in relationship issues, then that will have a marked effect on how your world looks.

It will change your economic basis.  It will change how you interact with one another on many levels.  It will change your political systems.  It will change your attention to the environment. In other words, it will change every single aspect of life as you know it.

How long will this take? When we talk about things speeding up, we're talking in a relative basis.  Most of you in this room have noticed a significant change within your lifetime.  Some of you are sensitive to changes in energy. So on that basis we have to say yes. Now, will most of you see a marked change in the way you live your lives within the course of your lifetime? Probably not - unless you make specific choices to do so.  However, interestingly enough, the pathways are opening up, more now than they have been, for you to be able to make those kinds of choices.

If, for instance, you are interested in intentional communal living, there will be more choices available to you in this lifetime for you to experiment with.  That it is just one example, but overall, worldwide, would there be a large change within the context of your lifetimes in terms of day-to-day living and how they are lived?  Not likely, but there is always change.

So we've answered part of your question, we were asking if you would like some follow-up?

Response: yes - about the opening up to causal plane connections

A very simple answer to that would be yes, but here's what is taking place: there is more overall openness to other energies beyond that of the Self. In other words, overall, on a global level, there is more and more openness to energy such as ours.  So it makes our job easier.  It just means that there is more connection, you see, because there is more openness to that connection.  The energy that is being transmitted has not changed, and has always been there. It simply has been connected with on a different basis in the past.  There have been other periods in human history where there was a great deal of connection, such as there is beginning to be now. So this is not the only time in human history that there is been this level of mid-causal energy affecting things on the physical plane.  This has happened several times in the course of human history and some of you were there when that was happening!  Some of you remember on some level what that was like, and some of you were involved with it. So there is a familiarity there for you.

Question: I feel a distinct energy change. It just changed now. It's very different from before.  Whoever it was, it felt like a very distinct energy change.  Does that show who it is that was coming through?

You have all felt our individual energy, and more of the totality of us.  So those of you who are very sensitive to how energy feel in your body will have awareness, yes.  Now do we do this to them to play with you?  Well, yeah!

(laughter and a comment)

That is correct.  We also do it to bring forth more of who we are.  We are all expressive beings - just like yourselves.   It's not that we are fighting among ourselves, "oh, who gets the microphone?"  It's more of "who needs to be present with that energy at that moment?"

But yes you did notice a shift in energy, and it did occur at that moment. It is good that you brought that up!

Question: Where is Karen now?

Karen likes to think that she's here.   A part of her is.  She's not aware of what we're about say - or she hasn't been aware of that up till this moment.  Karen is right now reclining on a very comfortable bed. Somewhere up in the clouds, it feels like, although a part of her is very present here.  There is a good deal of her just having a nice rest right now.

Are there any other questions?

Question: It seems to me that all my life I have felt out of place in some way.  I'm wondering if this is because my soul age (though I'm still a mature soul), because I'm ahead of the wave on this planet.  Or is it because I'm in a life of growth and having a difficult time?  Do people who are way ahead of the curve ever feel comfortable?  Or people who are way behind the curve, do they feel comfortable? Can I feel comfortable?  I would like to feel comfortable on this plane and I would like to have that experience!

There are a number of answers to this question.  We'll take them individually.

Regarding you yourself: you made a number of pre-incarnational choices to experience things in a certain way, from a certain perspective.  And part of the perspective that you chose in this lifetime was one of isolation, one of not fitting in.

Now, a number of you have made similar choices in your lives.  This is not an easy choice by any means, but it is a choice that moves you into the opportunity of making certain choices in your lives, of drawing to you certain experiences that you have chosen in order to manifest the Self that you most wanted to be in this lifetime.  There are a large number of those on various spiritual paths who have intentionally created situations like that for themselves happening at this time.  Now, why would you do this, other than to learn a lesson:  "Well, okay, that sounds a little painful, and I can sort of understand that -  but I why now?  Why so many of us?"

You touched on part of this.  There is a momentum, in fact, that takes place.  We have spoken before in other venues about how and when you have an interaction—any interaction, even something in passing with someone else—,because you are who you are, however that is manifesting at that moment, you have an effect on a person or in that. group that you are connecting with.  And they take a little bit of who you are with them forever.  It changes them forever.  So, then, why would this sense of isolation and being out of step with everyone else help on a more widespread communal level?  How could that help?

This is how we see it. We don't like to put it as something 'sacrificial', but in effect, it is almost that.  Many of you - a great number of you, and we say this collectively in addition to those of you in this room - have made choices to intentionally isolate yourselves to some extent from community inasmuch as you desire it, inasmuchas you desire to feel a part of something.  Because sometimes when you are kept from something that your heart really wants, you strive harder to make it happen.  And what you are creating through this pain is a greater overall community.  Again, 'sacrificial' is too strong a word and too imbued in cultural martyrdom, but you intentionally created a situation where you could create community among you that would not have existed were you not compelled to make the choices, from pain, that you have made in this lifetime.

Now, is there a way to make a similar choice through joy -- yes!  But sometimes you wouldn't see it.  So it is very intentional, what many of you are doing.  And lest you think that your efforts are not noticed or felt by anyone else, let us tell you that everything you have done in your lifetime up to this moment has been felt by the entire world. You are that important.  You have that great an effect on the entire global community of the human population.  Each one of you, simply by living your life and being who you are.

Do we expect more of you making similar choices?  Yes, this will occur for some time, in our perception of what we can see happening for your future.  It is part of a cycle of choices.  In other words, there are certain thematic lifetime, choices are made on a cyclical basis, and there will continue to be a lot of incarnations into lifetime similar to the ones that you are feeling - slightly out of step.  And again, it is simply to help move others along to help create this global community.  Because one day, perhaps the next time you incarnate, things will appear very different.  They will feel very different and you will enjoy some of what you are creating now.

(Response:  What was I thinking?)  (laughter)

Question: I was wondering with your experiments on the physical plane, were you focusing more on just the Earth?

No.  Earth is a very small part,  as you know, of the physical plane.  You are living lifetimes on other Earth-plane worlds, and your energy is everywhere, just as ours is.  And yes, we - our little group as well as the collective causal plane - is transmitting a great deal of energy to the physical plane as a whole.  While we would say some of the "experimental nature" is centered on Earth at this time, there are similar experiments occurring on various plane worlds on at the same time.   It of course would look different: the transmission process is very different depending on the species that we are working with.  But it is essentially a means of support and helping others to move through their own lessons.  Of course other worlds on the physical plane aren't in the same "place" that Earth is at this point.  There are different ways of connecting with different worlds on the physical plane.

So in some ways our answer is, no, the Earth is the only one.  And in some ways, the answer is yes: there is much more happening throughout the physical plane serve.  In some ways, you are quite unique.  We would say that the exact way that we are working with you all now is unique to the Earth, but there are other ways that we work with other worlds also on the physical plane.

Question: Could you say more about this global community and what it will look like in the future?

Some of you are aware that there is a network among you on Earth.  In other words, there are energetic connections between you and among you.  Some of you have specific conscious connection to others across the globe and others who are not incarnate at this time, and there are connections among you throughawareness.  There are also connections that exist among you on a less than conscious awareness level.  We would say that there has been an increase in conscious connection.  There has been an increase in the rate and the energy expended toward the less than conscious connection.

So this "global community":  part of it is (currently anyway) simply that there is more awareness of the oneness of it all.  This message, you see, is being repeated throughout many spiritual traditions, through many teachers, all at the same time, and it is making its way into being assimilated on a cellular level by more and more people all the time. What we see eventually occurring on your planet, and we spoke about some of the momentous changes that will likely be occurring in your world , would be more of the conscious recognition of the oneness.

This would be on a day to day basis. You would begin to be making choices with the knowledge of the connection that you hold with everyone on your planet, as well as everyone based on your planet who is not presently in a body.  So again, we spoke about economic changes,  political changes environmental changes: those are just a few.  Every decision, every choice that you make, would be made with this greater awareness.  Not every person will be doing this on a conscious level, but the level of overall energetic connection will be greater so that there is both a more conscious awareness of the oneness, and more choices that are made on a less than conscious level but still with that connection in mind.  Because, you see, you have this global consciousness and more of you will be tapped into that.  And that is what we mean by the community that you are creating: an overall change in the global consciousness of everyone associated with your planet.

Question: I've been struggling with trying to make sense with some of the spiritual teachings I've read and I'm hoping you can help me with this.  I struggle with a lot of waste energy.   I very much do my best to change the world to something better in this life.  Suffering captures my attention:  war, hunger and social wrongs.  The Abraham teachings say that the greatest good that I can do in this world is to live in peace and joy and give no attention to those issues.  My nature is to wave a flag and confront those issues and change them.  I can't make sense of those teachings and I don't know how to approach this.

This is the truth of those teachings.  In other words, the greatest good that you can do on a community level is to be at peace with who you are.  But first you must find out who you are.  If the true manifestation of you is to create intervention to things that cause you emotional pain, then you need to be that!  If the true manifestation of who you are is simply to be at peace in your world, then that is what you need to be doing.  We encourage you at all times to maintain as strong a connection as you can with who you are, and what you manifest, what of yourself that you can present to the world and be that.   Because every interaction that you have where you are as much of you as you can be is an interaction that will forever change that other person, or that group, or that community, or that idea.  You see, you simply just need to be who you are.

Question: I know that Michael incarnated on this Earth.  What about the other entities?  Did they incarnate here?

As you are aware, there are parallels to Earth itself.  There are other worlds, but you do that you exist on as a parallel to Earth.  Our interpretation is that the majority of the beings who are now comprised as Robert, for instance, were incarnating on an Earth parallel.  The majority of the beings who are now comprised as Seth are not from in an Earth world, but had their lives on a similar Earth-plane world. It wasn't even exactly a planet. It was a "reality".  There were some similarities to what you are experiencing now, yet in your terms it would be difficult for you to recognize that Seth physical plane reality as a reality that you would experienced.  Some of you took some shamanic journeys this morning and some of what some of you were seeing was similar to the reality experienced by the Seth individuals.  Aesha has existed primarily on an energetic basis for, in your perception, a very long time and Aesha has been through the cycle of incarnation, but in a world and a reality very different to what it is that you experience.  Yes, all of us have been through the incarnational cycle.  All of us have experienced physical plane reality.  But without looked very different to what you would expect in terms of a physical plane reality.

Question: You say more about grand cycles and about other planets which have other types of learning experiences?  I've heard that the purpose of incarnation on Earth is to learn Love - or to experience the conflict between love and fear and to eventually resolve this into Love. what would be some of the experience on different planets and different incarnational cycles?

From our perspective the incarnational cycle is essentially identical bo matter what reality it is based in.  The overall overarching lessons, if you will, are more or less the same.  It is just a matter of how those lessons look and feel.  It is a difference between, say, going to a public elementary school ,as opposed to a Waldorf school, as opposed to a bilingual school.  There are different ways of learning essentially the same information.  They both get you into college eventually, but they are going to look and feel and sound very different while you're moving through them.  The "Love lesson" that you spoke of: that is a universal lesson.  It has been a simplified so that it is something that is understandable on the on the physical plane.  It is difficult to look at things in this non-dual fashion because you are used to seeing things as either they are or they are not .  So it is difficult to think of love and fear is really part of the same.   It really is all about Love.  So we would say that the lesson that you are all Love, that you are all the Tao,  you are all everything is the lesson of the physical plane - no matter on what kind of world it is played out in.

Comment:  why here?  (bemoaningly)

(laughter)  Different schools for different folks!

Question: Are there many planets that are similar to ours in terms of physical makeup?

Besides the Earth-parallels there are a number of realities and worlds that have some similarities.  Yours is a popular choice in some ways in terms of the diversity of life that exists on your planet and the dual nature of how you perceive things.  This duality is not necessarily experienced on every physical plane world.  It is an elementary (in some ways) way of looking at things, and most incarnational beings like to experience the concreteness of what it is that you see in your world. There are many other choice, it is almost like different vacation destinations, with yours maybe being like the peace corps where you go to work, and there are others that may be are thought of as more relaxing and fun.   They are all, again, about the same lessons.  It's just how you learn them or how you look at them.  So, yes, there are several other world-realities that are similar to yours.  We said it was popular, but we did not really mean that it was populous in terms of the overall makeup of all the physical plane worlds.  We would say that the majority of them than look quite different from yours.

Question: The Earth is a few billion years old and humans have pnly been on the Earth for a relatively short time.  Has the Earth ever been populated with other sentient energies?

Yes, there was a purely energetic species that was experimenting with a existence here.  They were here for some time and decided collectively to go elsewhere.  It left a bit of a vacuum for a time in terms of an energetic presence and then it was decided collectively by all of you with your humanness to attempt to populate this world.  So yes, there was another species here.

Conclusion

We are going to say a few more words, and then we will conclude for today.

We have been talking to you about a variety of things.  We had the pleasure of telling you how we came to be and how we came to be speaking to you today, and it is our pleasure to be connecting with each of you this afternoon.

We would like for you to take something from this talk that we've been having, and if you take one thing from this talk we would like you to take with you the concept that you are having in an effect on everyone around you at all times.  You are changing lives simply by being who you are.  And the more you can be who you are, the more effect you will have on those around you.

And this is a gift of being on the physical plane. This is how you manifest Love into your world, and for us, watching you do this is a beautiful, joyous process, and we are so very pleased to be a part of it.

You give to us as much or more as we attempt to give to you. And that is the message that we wish for you to take with you today.

It has been our pleasure to speak with you and we look forward to connecting with you again in the future.

Thank you.
