Some of Julie’s early work in channel from 1987 where Micciah discusses:
• Initiating events rather than waiting for others to begin: Visualize physically moving forward and asking for what you want. View Section
• Aligning in meditation with the natural elements during the Harmonic Convergence View Section
• Overcoming fear of spontaneity and being intuitive: What is the fear communicating? Support yourself with what you know you do trust in life. View Section
• Having constancy and patience in relationship: Viewing relationship as an entity: what are its needs? Creating patience and constancy as playful rather than boring. View Section

   Micciah: We greet you all, dear friends.

   Julie: We do greet you, indeed. This is Micciah Channel, and I’m Julie Winter. Micciah is an energy entity who works with me while I’m in trance, and while I’m in the trance state I have access to a point of view that seems to come from a non-physical realm. This series of programs is drawn primarily from videotapes taken during my regular classes. We want to expand our circle and include your energy and interest in our work.

   ----------

   Micciah: We greet you, dear friends.
   Please, let us begin your questions.

   Woman: Many times I will sit back and wait for things to happen to me rather than being the activator. So how, how can I change this? Can you give me any advice?

   Micciah: Yes. We would suggest that you being by visualizing because we see that you have memories and memories of yourself in that role, that there are layers and layers of your experience of yourself in that position of waiting. That it would be most useful for you to begin to envision yourself moving forward, even in such a simple situation as imagine meeting someone at the doorway or in a party or wherever and rather than being still and letting them come to you, say, “Oh, how are you?” Imagine yourself moving forward toward them. Or imagining in any situation you are engaged with on a daily basis, greeting other parents at your child’s school, or a project that you have in mind, imagine yourself moving forward. Literally, in space. You are in the habit of waiting. And if you... You need to wait and to be still in order to receive, but that is only one half of the pulse of the creative. You need to be able to move forward as well. So whatever is presented to you to do during a day, if you sit in the morning and go through your day, imagine yourself moving forward toward the day, into the next activity. Not waiting for the result to come to you but in propelling yourself forward.
   Hmmm. This is also connected with your willingness to ask for things that you need, which is a kind of moving forward. Then to receive it, you must be still. But to be able to speak... Speaking is an assertive act. The throat center is the creative center of the self. Imagine yourself saying to someone, “I need this from you. I would like you to do this. This is what I want in this situation.” So both those elements, moving forward in space and speaking up about what you need, out about what you need, will start to change the pattern. And again, it must be done gently, not forcing yourself, because that would be unpleasant. And you may experience fear or trepidation, particularly around speaking up for what you need. Does that make sense?

   Woman: Thank you.

   Micciah: You do move forward toward your child, toward your daughter. You don’t wait in that situation, so you have one area of yourself where you have a moving forward pattern established. And we see, as if it were part of your history, saying “Stop. No, don’t do that. No. Be quiet. Don’t ask for that.” A lot of pushing back of the moving forward quality of vitality.
   Go on.

   Ken: I will be visiting Hawaii during August for a month of fun and creative spiritual development. I will be there during the grand trine, in an isolated place. And I would like to incorporate the changing vibrations and the alignments with my stay. And I would like a daily meditation that would incorporate natural elements that I will be surrounded by — water and light — in, to have a cumulative effect and to enhance my stay in the islands.

   Micciah: Since this time, in August, is a time of the fertilizing of a seed, it is — how to describe this — an alchemy. Or perhaps in any creative act, in writing, or making love, or doing the dishes — but this is a big creative act —, there is a moment that is fertile. There is a drawing together of [pause] we will say the forces, but this sounds like mystery language. Let us... We will go back. Let us say, life in the physical realm emerges, visibly becomes part of a vibratory system that..., a vibratory rate that enables you to see what is going on with your physical eyes. And there are realms and realms. You are wrapped in them all the time and you don’t bump into them because you are on different frequencies, so to speak. Then there are moments in the physical dream of time that are a coming together of many realms, that create a potency, and the potencies have different qualities. Some are the release, a release, and some are a fertilizing. Does this make sense so far?

   Ken: Yes.

   Micciah: So this time in August, in the linear world, is a great moment. There are ordinary moments which are also miracles. There are moments of great time, what is called in the Buddhist tradition great time. And these moments call for an alignment between many, between the many who make up the one. That is all of you, all the beings on this earth, and you will be joined by beings who are not of the earth. And it is a time to fertilize the seed of possibility that will usher in the beginning of the next great incarnation of the earth, or what is called in some traditions the fifth world. So, for all of you, that is a time to be with other people, to be alone, to meditate on peace and the fertilizing of the seed that will bring peace to this realm, through your own choosing. Sometimes there has been an argument if there... Well if there is God, if there are the gods, why, how come, it’s such a mess. Because you are also god and you are in this illusion of time to choose, to learn about the choosing to come into love.
   For you, we would suggest to begin, Ken, with your sense of yourself as a discreet entity, separate entity. To begin by meditating on all the ways that you are exactly and perfectly Ken and no one else. And then begin to go through your body and identify the ways you are the waters, the water of your lymph, the water of your blood, the water in your skin, the water in your eyes, the fluid in your bowels. And which way you are the earth. You know the human body is very close to the chemical composition of crystal, a lot of the body. Which way you are the earth, your bones, the solidity of your fingernails and your teeth. Which way you are fire. The beating of your heart. The redness of the juice of the human body, the blood. The fire of your ideas. And which way you are air. The breath, the wind. All people, all things, all possibilities. And then start to expand, once you have identified the aspects of your discreet self that are themselves and only like themselves and how they are at another level really composed of all the earth elements, then begin to move into a larger sense of yourself, ending with air. So begin with water, then earth — you can all do this meditation. We can do one with you next week if you would like. Water and then earth, and then fire and then air. And then start to expand into the way you are part of the vastness of the sky. And even in the vastness of the sky the earth is held, and the other planets spin. Go as far out into the galaxy as you can. To the Milky Way. And then begin to come back in. So you are meditating on oneness and separateness. Oneness and separateness. Come all the way back in, and as you come in, incorporate the vastness into yourself as if you were enfolding it, as if you were drawing the stars into your own inner fire. Come down and down and down until you rest in your heart. And you can hold a crystal, or make a small arrangement of crystals and flowers, for those of you who are not going to be in the vastness or in the wild part of nature. Of course New York is a very wild part of nature. So, you can do it with your dau... Will she be there, your daughter?

   Ken: Yes.

   Micciah: She will understand.
   Have we more questions, please?

   Anna: I would like to ask for a meditation to overcome the fear which seems to be in the way of being spontaneous and intuitive.

   Micciah: Yes. So, to be spontaneous, you must trust. And we do not want to suggest about any of you that there are bad feelings that must be pushed out. Give them the elbow. Get rid of fear. Because the fear is a communication. So first, Anna, discover what is the voice of fear communicating to you? And it will probably be different... It is not exactly the same all the time. Ask the voice, respect the voice, and say, “What are you speaking to me with this fear, this contraction?” You use this one word, “fear,” to cover many, many, many different experiences. Same word. So first acquaint yourself... We know, you think you are all too well acquainted with it, and you would like a little peace and quiet, but you will get the peace and quiet by... Gently, as you would with a wild animal or a frightened animal, “All right, tell me what this voice is communicating, this fear.” And then look at the tapestry, observe the tapestry of your life. And pick out the spots in the tapestry, in the weaving, where you do allow yourself to be spontaneous, because there are some. And then imagine carrying that sensation of spontaneity into some of the areas where you chronically feel afraid. It will take some doing, this is not a one-time-only project. Or perhaps write down for yourself what areas of life do you really trust. And if you are very frightened, you can start with something as simple as you trust that evening will come. Or you trust that you can put your shoes on. You trust that you can walk. Because there are many, many areas — this is true for you all — where you have trust, but you drop it out of your conscious exper ience. You just, um, what is the word, dismiss it. Oh well yes, of course I can walk. Or... But there are areas that have become invisible that are ongoing areas of trust. So start a little journal and write those down. “I trust that I can brush my teeth.” “I trust that I can make a phone call.” “I trust that I can say good morning.” You want to bring those forward in your awareness, all the lights, twinkling lights of your trust in the fabric of your being. And then imagine that you could have some of that trust in other areas, that you could allow it a little bit, and then a little bit more. Only risk what you’re willing to risk. Does that make sense?

   Anna: Yes.

   Micciah: Hmmm. Never risk what you are not willing to risk because that is abusive. This is not a contest. [pause]
   Lois.

   Lois: Well, as you know I’ve been working on relationship for several years.

   Micciah: Yes!

   Lois: Yes! Not surprised?

   [laughter]

   Micciah: And it’s going well!

   Lois: Well, it’s changing, certainly. And, and so my question changes now. And I really am concerned with learning how to nurture relationship, to have the patience and constancy that seems to be required that I’m finding I have difficulty with now.

   Micciah: Relationships create an entity. A relationship between friends or lovers, husband and wife, parents and children create an entity, a third factor. Or a group, your group, has an entity. Families have an entity. You can look at the entity of each relationship, one particular relationship, all the relationships, they are all different, and ask your intuitive self to describe the entity of this relationship. It is like planting a garden in a different climate. A garden in Hawaii is not like a garden in the Southwest. One would need very different care. So in the... What’s first? What sort of an entity is this? You can do this, all of you, about relationships, about your families. What seem to be the needs of the entity? What does it want in its belly? Is it sweet food, hot food? What quality is strongly represented that needs to be acknowledged? Are there any distortions in the entity? Is it an entity that seems always to be hungry? [barks] You know, sometimes you create a relationship with someone and there is always in the dynamic of that relationship, in your experience of it, the feeling that it is [sound] snapping at you, that there is hunger. So, if it is always hungry, what kind of food is needed? Is the food of emotional sharing needed? More contact needed? More time needed? More physical touching needed? Where is the starvation coming from? What does the mind of the entity of this relationship require? What kind of liveliness, what kind of communication and connection? What does the heart of the relationship require? Some relationships in order to flourish require great spaciousness in the heart. Some require very dramatic contact, very close and constant. So, you can discover what the entity needs.
   Now how to have the constancy and patience within yourself is a different question. We would say something similar to you as we did to Sylvia, that you have an idea about what constancy means and patience means. And your ideas are that they both sound very boring. Confining is the feeling we get. So perhaps you could consult the sacred fool and ask your inner, wily, foolish self how could constancy and patience be playful rather than drudgery. This is a very interesting exercise to describe the entity of different relationships. It is like having a third presence. Some entities are far over balanced in the mind, the contact is mostly — mind in the sense of intellectual —, and they are needing heart. Some have not enough mind, some have too much feeling and not enough thinking. What is the food that will nourish?
   We thank you very much. And you know, all the realms learn from each other. It is not just us quote teaching you. You are teaching us. And some of the elements that appear in the physical world as your teaching do specifically have to do with patience, with devotion, and with service. And the lightness and the joy in those, not the seriousness and exhaustion.
   We share with all of you much energy, much love, and much joy, and we bid you a very good afternoon.

   Julie: That’s the end of this particular segment... of this particular adventure. And this channeling is meant to be a spiritual, emotional, intellectual, heartful, mindful journey that I share with another realm, that I share with my classes and that we all share with you. Please go over the material, evaluate it for yourself, and know what it is that you think about it. So long.
