Some of Julie’s early work in channel from late 1987 where Micciah discusses:
• Time of awakening on this planet: We are seeing the face of our own fear everywhere. It is time to confront healing ourselves and our planet. View Section
• Publicity about channeling: Many people are searching for something which goes beyond “mechanical explanations” and traditional religion. The media often misrepresents it, but the public attention will stimulate thinking about this realm. View Section

[The original videotape is visually too damaged to seamlessly repair in sections, but the tape is viewable. Or just listen.]

   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.
   What you are going to see is me, with my personality and intelligence, awareness, go into an altered state. While I’m in that altered state, I join with other energies, or another energy, and produce the personality of Micciah. And I have, in that state, an awareness that I don’t ordinarily have. And I’m going to respond to questions that my classes have asked me.

   Micciah: We greet you all, dear friends.
   You are in your realm on your planet in the midst of an intensification, a speeding up.  The possibilities of the vibratory rate to which individuals and groups attune is amplifying.  It is growing.  It is the time of reaching in a more conscious way and on the part of many more people for spirit.  It is a time when you as a planetary voice call upon the names of all of the great ones, the star teachers, because you in your own hearts recall that you have embedded within you the seeds of stars, and in this time when all of the levels of the earth are intensified, when the apparent splitting apart can be seen so clearly, you have paradoxically increased access to love that is beyond the physical personal understanding.  It is as though the speeding up, if you will, of events, of confrontations, produces a stimulus or yearning to be of service and to call upon your star wisdom to do that.
   Please, we know you have many questions.

   Sheldon:  OK, Micciah, in a sense you’ve already begun to answer my question, so I’ll alter it a little bit.  I wanted to talk, or ask you about awakening, which would be comparable to the making contact with the seeds within and I’ve had some interesting experience and I’ve begun to run into other people who had some extraordinary experiences in terms of a reawakening. 

   Micciah:  Yes.

   Sheldon:  And one of the dates that keeps coming up for all of them is Christmas, and I also promised to work in harmonic convergence which seems to be one of the road posts along which this quickening has happened.

   Micciah:  Yes.

   Sheldon:  In terms of higher purpose and the shift from individual goals to seemingly group goals...

   Micciah:  great goals..

   Sheldon:  and service....  Could you elaborate on what that’s about and maybe even specifically  how this group is going to shift?

   Micciah:  Yes.  You are all already shifting.  You are always in the process of shifting.  What is happening is that this planetary realm itself is giving birth to itself, to new forms of being, and it is the struggle of the birth that you are engaged in now.  And it will quicken!  It is the movement of fear representing itself very fully.  So there is almost nowhere you can look in the world without seeing the face of fear reflected toward you, through the bellies of children who are starving, through people who are dying with the disease of AIDS, through nations who are struggling to come to peace with each other.  The face of fear that is exhibited all over is your own fear, all of you, all of you, all of you, this one, everyone.  It is the fear that has been created in this realm and is showing itself in order to be healed.  You can not anymore smooth it over with hollow words.  It’s bursting apart, yes?  The economic system, the health care system, the starvation, it’s all flying at you.
   And the purpose of this is to draw forth the yearning to know yourselves individually and collectively, to represent the vitality, love, joy in your incarnation.  It moves you first very sharply into individual fear.  The world seems to be falling apart, threat at every doorway.  And then, hopefully, you press beyond your individual concern, not neglect it, but gather it up and know that it can be burned in the fire of spirit as an offering, and you can leap beyond apparent danger.  Always caring for it, always doing the steps in front of you, feeding the babies, caring for the sick, sharing your wealth, doing what is in the physical world to do and seeking the real tissue of awareness that goes beyond the mechanical level of the physical.  This group participates through the play that you do with each other, through one of the dimensions that is particular to this planet that evolves only in time, is tested only in time, which is devotion or commitment to your own inner process and to the group as well.  And the greater purpose offers the whole thing into the web, the weaving, the divine weaving of this planet.  Every time you pluck out fear, experience it through and let yourself be comforted, go through the emotional body and let yourself be comforted by that love which always holds you.  You offer that into the weaving of the total consciousness.
   Now, the thinking mind, of course, splits and says, “Oh, well, my life, I can’t do enough.  This is overwhelming.”  Stop stop.  Do what you can.  Everything that you offer, everything, from a cup of tea to a hug to the words you write to your teachings to the music you play can be born in this consciousness, born on this consciousness like a wave.  And when you are able to feel your grieving for pain and also not be stopped by the pain, you are a living vehicle then.  Your own life represents that spaciousness that is service.  You want to ask further about this?

   Sheldon:  I could probably ask more, but there are a lot of other people with questions.

   Micciah:  Is this clear so far?  Ask if it is not.

   Sheldon:  Well I’ll sneak in one more...(laughter)  The quickening, I mean I can feel it as a quickening...

   Micciah:  It is like a birth quickening.

   Sheldon:  But it also feels a disturbing quickening in that it’s so hard to absorb it without thinking it’s crazy.  I know I’ve talked to other people and they’re not quite sure suddenly what’s happening to them.

   Micciah:  What is crazy is pouring poison into the body of the earth.  What is crazy is having millions of people work and pay taxes for weapons that can destroy everybody, even the earth.  Although, we tell you the earth will be fine ultimately.
   If you bomb everything -- and we think you will not, we will go on record as saying -- we think you will not.
   The earth’s consciousness and the guardians will not abandon the earth, and there will be fungi that eat plastic and live on radioactive waste, but it will be a whole different...(hand gesture of a globe), and you will have to contemplate that you have so changed a realm.  So.  We would say no, it is not crazy.  Many people obviously think this is crazy.  Please go on.

   John:  Micciah, in the near past, within the last year or so, channeling has become a subject that is being discussed in newspapers and magazines to the extent that is very new and unprecedented.  What are we to make of this surge of publicity which doesn’t always seem to be in keeping with what we might expect?

   Micciah:  Well the surge....  First of all, now that channeling is a word that has entered the contemporary vocabulary people mean very different things.  When one person says channeling and another person says it, now there is a discrepancy, a gap, in the language.  The definitions have not, a clarity of language has not caught up yet.  So people mean different things by it.
   The yearning that we spoke of is expressed, one facet of it, by people wishing very much to find something that goes beyond mechanical explanations which is also not traditional religion, something which in its nature in your culture is somewhat extraordinary and forbidden.  To seek within oneself for the star seed, one often begins by looking outside, and here are many many people of varying beliefs, of different backgrounds, probably of varying skills.  Say ah, we are tapping a source and there is tremendous hunger for that and as it erupts into the public mind there is a tendency, because of the way of media, to chew it all up, spit it out in a homogenized version, pasteurized, homogenized, not too many pages in the format so you can leaf through quickly and get the general idea.  Yet it will stimulate people with all of the misconceptions and all of the truths, the various truths, it will stimulate some people to go further.  You could call it God’s fish hook or the Goddess is going fishing and some of the fish, because of the nature of the way popular culture is, will be brought in on the wave of popular attention.
   And then there will be much stuff, the way there is in psychology or cooking or gardening, some of it useful and nourishing, some of it garbage.  Does that answer?

   John:  Yes.  Is there also a possibility that the fact that the potential for personal power in something like this could cause the people who currently hold power to feel slightly threatened?

   Micciah:  Well we think it will not reach those proportions, because they will wash it through this homogenizing process first, we think.  We don’t think you are in any immediate danger.  There are too many other things to be worried about.  The fires are blazing on too many other fronts.  If you became, if channelers and all people who are interested in channeling, became a large political lobby, if you all show up in Washington, maybe. 

   Sheldon:  If chosen, would you run, Micciah? (laughter)

   Micciah:  We would run very fast.
   There have been those...your president Lincoln was among them and so was Washington and to some extent F.D.R.... who saw visions.  It is well documented that Lincoln had a dream wherein he saw his own death.  He walked through the halls of the White House and he saw someone dead and he asked who do they mourn here, and the answer was, “Why the President is dead, sir.”  So, this was within the governmental structure itself, and there are many many more people than you might imagine who are hearing the inner sound, the beaming, the rustling, the quickening of their own yearning.  We have a suggestion to make which is that you observe what you do not approve of and don’t feed the acrimony between people by being cruel.  If someone channels or meditates or whatever in a way you do not agree with, unless they are trying to impinge on you with it, it’s alright.  Let it be.
   Have you any questions about this before we leave?  This has been most lively.

   Sheldon:  Can I quickly go back to that channeling question?  You mentioned people have a desire to tap into the source.  In terms of channeling, what is that source?

   Micciah:  Many.  Many.  There are numbers of realms.  When this one channels she perceives a particular realm through the alteration of her own resonating frequencies.  There are many many interweaving realms.  So you will get lots of opinions and they all are connected in the greater sense with love.  All the doors are leading to the same place.  Yet there are different opinions, different approaches, different possibilities.  And it’s all ecstasy and emptiness.  And beyond that, whatever holds them both, and beyond that, and beyond that, and beyond that....
   We wish you much love.  We share with you great love, and all of you who we cannot see, we bid you a very good day.

   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.
