Jeanie's Viewpoint Continued, Page 2

Under "Jeanie's Viewpoint, Page 1," you can read my perspective of my first exposure to michael's work back in 2004. Here I will cover a completely different group of workshops and messages and I will attempt to express the impact they have had on my life. To all who read here, enjoy with my blessings and love, jeanie

One of michael's Sunday morning sermons, "Living, Not Saying the Lord's Prayer" rendered the Aramaic interpretation of what is called the "Lord's Prayer". Y'shua said for us to "pray in this way" not repeat the words he said. He was giving us the instructions to become the space of Love in the world not a set of words to memorize. I was amazed that prayer, in Aramaic, means "to set a trap for God". At first my Southern Baptist upbringing jumped up and said, "Wait a minute! We can't and shouldn't trap God." but as I forced myself to listen further it all became clearer. As an antennae traps a signal to a particular channel and gives a clear picture through the television set for the world to see, our lives are to be a constant prayer trapping God and always giving a clear picture to the world of His Love. This will only happen when we are in perfect alignment with Him – trapping His signal – showing Love. WOW! That explains the "pray without ceasing" verse. I always wondered how someone could be praying 24/7 but when you look at the Aramaic meaning as constantly showing our true being – as God's Love – it makes sense that we can do that without ceasing. To just say the words of ANY prayer is only head knowledge but to live the way He taught is heart knowledge. This resonates with a feeling I have always held – many people "claim" to know the Lord as Savior and yet their lives reflect the total opposite. They can say all the right words but the fruit of their life proves the truth is not in their heart. We must do our work too – follow Y'shua's example to eternal life. The Lord's Prayer (our instruction) is to acknowledge, worship, appreciate, forgive – and if we do, then His wisdom comes alive in us, attunes us, empowers us, penetrates us and we become what he created us to be.


Communication Did You Hear What I Think I Said – there is a saying, "My words fly up, my thoughts remain below.." (Hamlet, Shakespeare). Perplexed!! Do I really not know what I mean? Do I really say one thing and mean another? I wanted to ask michael, "How do you think you know more about me than I know about myself?" I didn't ask, but I learned this day that my speech is a reflection of what's inside and all michael was doing was "listening" to my words. For example, I said, "they did thus and so but I don't have any bad feelings toward them." If I am blaming someone else for what I feel then I am in denial and am suppressing the issue. I still see them as the cause instead of the trigger. I am not taking responsibility for my own reality (what I see and feel) and by my words I am saying that I really do still hold onto the bad feelings. I did not realize that there was a buried frequency within me that was driving my words and my life. My physiology does not distinguish who my thoughts are about but produces what is asked for – so I receive the bad feelings – my dis-ease. My denial actually puts more energy into the issue – michael explained it is like pushing down on a spring; the potential energy to fly off is greater when suppressed. I need to change ALL the frequencies that are in me that are less than Love. What a process! The frequencies can be weakened, and eventually be gone, through the process of forgiveness (not pardoning, see my notes on Why Is This Happening to Me..AGAIN?!). The key is to catch myself through my speech and acknowledge where I am and then change the words that I use as I forgive. When my focus (my goal) changes then I will see the change in my physiology and the change in the direction of the flow of my life. I stop and think before I speak now and I frame my statements positively. At least I am working on it and I still have a way to go on this one. It takes practice and awareness – not a job for the wimp.


Circle of Life and How to Play It – goodness – how many words can fit on one white board? Michael shows two pathways in life, the upper path and the lower path, and what results from going either path. It begins with an event, which triggers a reality, and from there we chose which path to go. The upper path begins with taking responsibility for the reality we hold. If we continue this path we have certain behaviors we will do, i.e. breathe, love truth, stay connected, willing to learn and accept feedback. We look for the best in another (that is true humility), we are abundant and desire an increase for all, and we have true relationships, which are sacramental. We have "in-to-me-see" which is not sex but a physical intimacy that is a celebration of relationship. We do not love but WE ARE LOVE. We achieve a body of fluid light, joy, peace and aliveness and thus are winners regardless of the circumstances in the outside world. The lower path begins with denial of responsibility. If a person continues this path they also have certain behaviors they will do, i.e. holding the breath, blockage of truth, confusion and addiction to something to hide the pain. Addictions can be drugs or alcohol but can also be junk food or even hostility. The person on the lower path feels disempowered and insecure. They attack others, want an increase for only self, and are incapable of love in a relationship. They operate an exchange program where others are approved of as long as things are going their way – it is sex with a body and not relationship with a being. Manipulation and fear and are prime drivers of their behavior. These frequencies are stored as toxic crystals and toxify all around them. They drive away intimacy and are in constant turmoil, unconscious to their own plight and thus are losers even if they own it all materially. Notice when I discussed the upper path I said "we" but when discussing the lower path I said "they" – that is because I choose to be on the upper path. Honestly, at times I have found myself on the lower path but with the tools I can now see what the proper behavior should be and correct my direction.


Getting the Stress You Need – who says I need stress? Yes, I have plenty of it but who needs it? Michael explained that there are stresses, which keep us alive, i.e. without the stress of thirst we would not drink, and we would die. Here we learned that there are three filters over our Pool of Intentions (in front of brain). Intentions must pass through a filter to become active. They are filtered through HOSTILITY, FEAR, or RAHKMA (LOVE) and only one filter can be active at one time. (Y'shua said a fountain does not give forth sweet and bitter and that man can not serve God and man) Intentions convert to Goals, which are also filtered through one of three filters in the back of the brain, they are HOSTILITY, FEAR, or KHOOBA (LOVE). Goals lead to and drive behavior. How do we know what filter is set? We analyze our thoughts, feelings and behaviors – our realities – are they loving or fearful? Are our words loving or negative or destructive? If goals are filtered through anything but Love then we hold stress we do not need. Stress is the difference between the way we want something to be (our Goal) and the way it is (or the way we perceive it to be). Behavior becomes the mechanism that balances this difference. The degree of behavior is the same as the degree of the difference (or stress). The greater the difference the greater the stress. We need to have a repertoire of behaviors to pull from when stress appears – one behavior-changing tool is to learn to cancel the Goals (forgiveness).
