| The Michael Teachings |
|
"You are spiritual beings on a human path." The voice of Michael was first heard in recent times in the mid-1970's when a group of friends began connecting to the wise, loving, and humorous words of a higher entity calling itself "Michael."
Who is Michael?
The original publishing of this material was the book "Messages from Michael," written by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, the first in a series of four books that chronicles a three-decade-long "conversation" which resulted in what is now known as the "Michael Teachings". Since then there have been many other publications through different channels and authors. Michael is a teacher of:
One aspect of this is known as the "Michael Overleaves ", or the "Michael Chart". This includes a typography system which includes: soul age , soul level , role , goal , mode , attitude , centering , chief feature , body type, frequency, male/female ratio, and others. However, what Michael teaches is far more than this tool; it is a way towards being fully who you are, in agape, and thus being in harmony within and without. Using the Michael teachings system is a wonderful way to gain deep self-awareness and awareness of others in your life. A core concept of the Michael Teachings is: "all choices made are equally valid." So, in this teaching, should you choose to do so, you often begin by studying yourself, by using the personality system ("the overleaves") as a living textbook. Through this process, you may develop a greater understanding of yourself -- and of the challenges and agreements you have set out to fulfill in this lifetime, without judgment or expectation that you should be something else. Through this process, you may develop a greater acceptance of yourself and attain the balance that allows you to act as appropriately as possible and to actualize your fullest potential. One aspect of gaining awareness is through the concept of "Essence" in this teaching. This is what is commonly known as your higher self. It is not anything separate from you - it is nothing but you, but without any blocks of perception. It is the core of You that is aware at all times of All That Is. Part of this teaching, and the journey of awareness, is concerned with increasing the conscious connection with Essence and removing blocks to this. Related to this, the Michael Teachings has a very in-depth perspective on how fear affects our lives, blocks our perceptions, and can manifest suffering through what is called the chief feature . Learning specifically how this operates can bring great progress in our journey towards living in joy. Karen's connection to MichaelKaren and Matthew both first brought Michael's energy into their own awareness when they were teenagers, and they continue to utilize many of the elements of this wonderful personality typing and self-awareness system in their interactions with others, one another, and themselves. Michael is not separate from Polaris . On the plane of existence where Michael exists, identity and separation do not exist as we know it. Energies and perceptions are combined for growth and joy. This was how how the energy we know as Polaris came to be. Polaris is the joining of the energy and awareness of Michael along with the different-flavored energies of Seth, Robert, Aesha, and three others. Each voice lends its own particular flavor which also melds perfectly as Polaris . There is a difference in the "flavor", energy, and phrasing; after all, Michael is composed of the role s of Kings and Warriors and Polaris has all of the roles through its different entities. But to Polaris, Michael, and the others, there is no difference and no separation between or among them. Polaris can bring the more focused energy of Michael with all their terminology and wisdom as well - and more. They are learning about oneness, much as we are. Or to put it another way:
Services OfferedKaren began channeling Michael in 1999 and has been known since then to clients around the world. Now, in addition to her work with Polaris, she continues working with members of the global Michael Teachings community in providing Michael teaching charts , specialized and incredibly useful tools that people use to gain insight into themselves and others. You can read more about the Michael teachings system of self-awareness here and you can order your own Michael teachings channeled services, including charts for yourself and family members/friends, from Karen here . You can also view a sample extended overleaf chart to see what this looks like in detail. It is a great way to see how the overleaves work in a particular case and see that this system is not simply a typology system but is actually a useful and living tool that can help you increase self-awareness and allow you more joy in your life.

my sense of Michael and Seth is that they are on the causal plane. is that right? polaris is new to me. is it on the causal plane as well? from its description here, it sounds like it may be on the messianic plane? |

No, Polaris, as they've told us, is a grouping of entities. Michael and Seth are a part of Polaris, so Polaris is in exactly the same place as Michael and Seth are, by definition. Identity isn't as fixed on the causal plane as it is here. It took us a long time to find a name to call the grouping. To them, they experiment with merging their beings all the time, as this is part of evolution: to share and be the energy of the universe. (This includes us, too). But this is a longer term experiment, perhaps in merging their entire cadre (?), so they said a name would be helpful to us linear minded folks.  |

Re:The Michael Teachings
Apr 28 2009 14:27:31 Hey there,
Just got my Michael Overleaf chart from Karen- and there are some very intriguing parts I'd like to ask about. For essence twin, it was mentioned that that 'entity' is discarnate- and that there is heavy bleedthrough.. And also that "both" of my task companions are 'discarnate.' What does this usually signify? Is there a reason (from either of your perspectives) for why this may be the case? Is it as simple as needing to learn some lesson? Or is there more to it than that-- ? I understand that a lot of these questions must be answered by myself- but your perspective would be well received.
Also, could you give me a quick run-down as to what "Frequency" would indicate? What it means? Thanks! Cole |

Re:The Michael Teachings
Apr 29 2009 04:04:08 Hey Cole,
Good questions! Typically, having a discarnate essence twin (ET) means there will be a heavier energetic influence to you, though this isn't always the case. The assumption seems to be that we will one day meet our essence twin, but I find that to the be exception rather than the rule. Having discarnate ET and task companions could signify a lot of astral plane interaction; often discarnate task companions agree to act as spiritual guide, or have some other supportive role in your life. The choices are, of course, endless, and having discarnate ET/TC usually doesn't signify anything in particular other than that was the choice this time around. It can lead to feeling a little "alone" or isolated, but it really depends on what the agreements are and what your energetic involvement together is, which varies from person to person. Frequency is essentially the rate at which you process information, on a scale from 1 to 100. A higher frequency means you process information quickly (but perhaps don't retain easily) whereas a lower frequency means you process information slowly, but perhaps more thoroughly the first time. Most people stay in the middle range, from about 40-60, because it's usually more comfortable being around people within about 20 points of your frequency. If one is toward either the high end or the low end, being around others at the opposite end of the spectrum can be somewhat annoying. I have a higher-than-average frequency, though not terribly high (67) but people at the very low end drive me nuts (and likely I them as well!).

Thanks a lot for the reply! That helped greatly with the questions I had. Man! If your frequency is high- mine (81) must be exceedingly irritating for those at the lower end of the spectrum! That also helps to explain why (to my own dissatisfaction) I can sometimes be a little 'short' with certain people, though that doesn't happen as much now as when I was younger... One question- have you ever looked into, or thought about- whether or not a psychedelic substance such as peyote, LSD, or magic mushrooms can have an effect on one's frequency? A friend of mine informed me that after he had ingested magic mushrooms (which granted him a state of 'temporary' but uncomfortable "enlightenment"  that for a week or more, music seemed to be playing "faster" than it seemed to have played before having taken the mushrooms. Any idea?
Also: for my life task it was mentioned that my task was to "create a change in energetic surroundings." This struck me as probably very typical, but I thought I'd ask: what does this usually imply? Does "energetic surroundings" include everything? From the individuals around me to my immediate environment? Or is this more along the lines of "subtle" energy changes- i.e. on etheric, astral, mental etc. levels? Sorry if the question seems vague, but I thought I'd ask for a little clarification on this type of life task. Thanks so much Karen, for all you do. Cole |

Re:The Michael Teachings
Apr 30 2009 00:54:00 Hi Cole,
Yes, 81 is on the higher side; likely some people might find you sort of intense. I have met someone with a frequency in the 90's and wasn't particularly put off or affected negatively at all, so the annoyance factor isn't necessarily a given.
I haven't yet channeled on psychadelic substances, but my instant hit is that what you describe is more a function of feeling the arbitrary nature of time on the physical plane. Since time is a function OF the physical plane, when accessing other forms of reality (the other realities that exist right "here" and right "now" that we ordinarily choose not to acknowledge because doing so is, well, distracting for most of us) you get a stronger sense of being able to manipulate time. So a single moment might seem like it stretches into forever (which it does, in reality; we just choose, most of us, not to see it that way). So you can, even without drug aids, play time faster or slower any time you want. Might be a fun thing to practice. Many of us have experience with that when under duress and we're running late and yet get there at the right time anyway. About your life task, yes, that's sort of typical for a lot of people these days. A LOT of people are choosing to have a energetic effect on their surroundings, other people, etc, for one reason or another. Together, a large number of people are creating shifts. Collectively, we're creating a shift globally. Life tasks are generally rather vague so that there is no limit in choice in terms of manifesting it. You're correct: I would interpret this as an energetic effect on *everything* around you. Everything (rocks, trees, etc) has a consciousness, anyway.

Re:The Michael Teachings
May 01 2009 21:09:39 Just a quick one:
It would seem that as an entity 'advances' or becomes more aware of the interconnectedness of All-That-Is- his/her life task becomes more and more general and less and less specific- would that be true, in your opinion? |

Re:The Michael Teachings
May 01 2009 21:53:23 Yes, that's often what happens. Not always. A life task is usually general - for instance, a baby artisan may choose a task of working with their hands, which is general enough it could manifest in many different ways. But sometimes specific life tasks are chosen. It's all choice.

The Michael Teachings
May 19 2009 16:15:11 Hi: I have received my chart from Karen and have a quick question. I am an Old Priest/Artisan. This really surprised me because I'm also a Taurus with 5 planets in Gemini. I always thought I was a Scholar since I LOVE research and reading anything regarding metaphysics I can get my hands on. How does astrology fit in with Michael Teachings? I've also been a Reiki Practitioner for 13 years which would fit in with Priest, I guess. Thanks for your time.

Re:The Michael Teachings
May 19 2009 18:48:38 This is my understanding of this, from past channelings and my own knowledge.
Astrology is complementary to Michael Overleaves. It deals more with what Michael has called "Tidal Influences". In other words, astrology governs the general influences that affect you, both in terms of the energy you're imprinted with when you created this body (the birth chart) and what affects you on a day to day basis from stellar influences. The overleaves are what you, as essence, chose to bring when incarnating. It is from within - an expression of you. It's built into your DNA. Often the choice is to match the two, so essence would choose a time and location where the astrological influence adds additional energy to what was chosen to experience. Other times it is more complementary, where it isn't an exact match but the additional energy and focus gives additional ranges of energy to draw on. It's the stereotype that you must have scholar energy if you love to study. Totally not true! I know several artisans who love learning - and to them it seems like it's more to draw on when they're making their creations. All roles can love study for different reasons. |

Re:The Michael Teachings
May 19 2009 21:30:05 Thanks for your prompt reply. Every little bit we learn leads closer to the big picture. I'm happy being an Old Priest but will continue to love the Gemini part of me too.
