Some of Julie’s early work in channel from 1989 where Micciah discusses:
• The brain as a tuning device. The desire of “the Godhead” to have “more of the dimensions ... conversant with each other” for the good of the “total ecology.” View Section
• To access one’s inner authority: A “deep necessity ... of the current time ...” The “Christ-spirit” comes at this time through every individual. There are many ways, no “handbook.” It takes attentiveness and the willingness to risk ridicule and shame. View Section
• Biochemistry of enlightenment: Meditation changes the body. “If you stay with it,” the life-force rises and floods the brain with “unearthly brightness.” View Section
• “This a period of intense flux. You have many guardians of this realm who consider it precious.” “Help is being beamed into you through your tuning systems as quickly and in as strong a dose as you can tolerate.” 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.
   I want to thank all of you who have been watching and who have written to me. And what you are going to see is me, with my personality and intelligence, awareness, go into an altered state. And while I’m in that altered state, I join with other energies, or another energy, and produce the personality of Micciah. 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. And we are most pleased to be with you and to share our energies with yours, and to add a voice to the growing chorus of voices, and of hearts, of people moving quickly and ever more quickly to find what is for them a truth.
   And there are many, many varieties of spiritual truths, all leading to the same ... bed, or matrix, of vitality.
   Even before you begin your questions, we would like to describe to you something of the way this channeling functions, something of the way you guide the force of Spirit — which is always available to you — through you.
   The brain itself acts as a tuning device. That would be a rough analogy. And it is possible, when the large portion of the front of the brain begins to be stimulated, that it acts as a tuning device for one of the many, many realms (or several of the many realms) that are other than this physical dimension yet are all woven together.
   You in the physical world are one dimension of consciousness. And it is the wish of the Godhead — the great, endless, eternal, ever-present, and magnificent Light that holds you all — to have more of the dimensions connected, conversant with each other. It makes for a better total ecology — TOTAL ecology. Not just the ecology of this planet as an entity or its relationship to other entities (planetary entities), but the relationship of dimension to dimension, wherein the various dimensions fertilize and nourish each other, creating possibilities for life on earth that enhance the total well-being of all.
   And you, in turn — you in turn give to the other dimensions.
   So, now: let us proceed with the questions.

   Linda: Micciah — my question is about how one, how each of us, can access the voice of inner authority, be able to listen to it clearly, validate it, and act from that place. And I see that as being generally different from outer group consensus. How to strengthen and listen to that voice.

   Micciah: [Whisper] Yes. Yes. [Aloud] It is ... a deep necessity, a profound necessity, of the current time you are in in the dream of time, to be able to do this.
   We believe that the coming of the Christ-spirit (meaning the spirit of this enormous Light that is beyond light — there is simply no word for it. It’s not light in opposition to dark; it is a third force) — the coming of this spirit in this time is through each individual.
   In the last world age, you had the figure of Christ through the man Jesus, who was really several entities, as we have said — a composite (and one of them was a woman). But there was, ah — the result of a figure who represented this — the perfection of this source, yes? — and was addressed as that perfection.
   Now, you all are, ah — seedlings for the perfection. And the seed of perfection is in every single one of you. Not just you — everybody.
   And this seed is awakened, in this time, through your willingness to grapple with the difficulties of establishing what an individual truth IS — finding an individual expression which for you exemplifies and celebrates all of it, the whole of it.
   In some ways it is a more difficult task, because there is no handbook. If you are devoted to a guru, to a teacher, or to a path that has already been established, you do in a sense have a pattern to follow — yes? And that is an honorable way. Ultimately you have to find your own truth no matter which way you do it. But so many, many people are ... working to locate their own inner voice, as separate from having that held in the outer world by the guru.
   You can find your inner voice, your inner authority, through meditation, prayer, dreams, song, community, painting, gardening [with a laugh] — it is everywhere. You can find it in many, many avenues: there isn’t one perfect and right way. However, it does take attentiveness, the capacity to tolerate the chaos and the fertility of not knowing. You are a pioneer, in a sense; and it is useful to have a community of people with whom you can share the journey even though you are not all going along the same path.
   Hmmm ... you can dream and keep a dream journal; you can meditate and keep a meditation journal. You can draw your inner source, or you can create a dialogue that is one of drawing or of singing or of dancing or all of it. And you can only authenticate it by having the courage to try out what is suggested — yes? Because it is not an abstraction: it must work in this dimension, in the concrete world.
   And it keeps changing. You don’t settle on it and that’s IT. So you keep having to experiment, and dream, and dream again. But you do indeed build a body of skill and trust and courage which supports your action, your relationships, your creativity, your integrity — everything.
   Hmm ... It is a risk to trust one’s inner guide. And, ah — you run the risk not only of being incorrect, which you will be many, many times. You need to develop a tolerance for rejection and failure — rejection of what you thought was a wonderful idea, and failure of what you thought was a great suggestion — a kind of resiliency.... And it is a risk, at a deeper level, of being shamed.
   This is important. To follow a given teaching is to find a community of some kind that will accept you and, ah — appreciate you because you are following these steps, yes? You have that — commonality. Is that a word?

   Students: Umm-hmm.

   Micciah: Mmm-hmm.... Because of the enormous distortions that you have culturally about authority, when you come to a hunk of your inner truth and you say, “This is mine! This seedling is mine! This is how I wish to follow Spirit!” and someone says, “Well, by what authority?” you say, “Well — by MY authority.” Then you have made yourself (if you are truthful) enormously vulnerable to ridicule in an area that is most tender and precious. If you don’t like it when someone criticizes your socks (says, “Well. Those green socks are not in very good taste, are they?”), you can imagine how much you aren’t going to like it when someone asks you to justify that insight.
   Well, you can’t justify it. You can live it, experiment with it, find people who are trustworthy to share it with, and develop your strength in it. Do you see? So there is the potential of being shamed.
   And since you have grown in a culture that, ah — is a strange paradox of [being] highly individualistic but also slavishly devoted to the yearning for the approval of authority, you are in a double bind. You were not, most of you, raised with a continuing sense of the integrity of your inner voice and of your dreams and intuitions of your body (which is one of the best communicators of truth — one of the best!). So, to develop it as an adult — whatever of the paths you choose — is to risk ridicule.
   [Sighs] Hmm.... As you follow your truth (or, as Campbell says, your bliss), there are, quite literally, biochemical changes that occur in the ecology of the body. So the signals from your body change when you meditate, when you work with your dreams, when you begin to have access to what is the ecstasy of your life-force. Literally, it affects your brain, and your biochemistry, and the bioelectrical field of your cells.
   In states of what is called enlightenment, there is an energy flow up through the stem of the brain through the midsection up into the, ah — frontal part. It arises in the spine, and you have, then, the tuning device so open to this vast third force that the brain is flooded.
   The two go together: you open (you have to make certain changes in order to open; you don’t want this to come upon you. You have to prepare). The biochemistry of the body begins to change, and if you stay with it the tuning device of the brain will flood with the third force. And a brightness — an unearthly brightness — is experienced, a luminosity where everything glows. That is not a metaphor, either: en-lightenment.
   So ...
   And you can get bits of it, you know.

   [Laughter]

   Hmm ... and this process can be stimulated through the use of crystals (which, like so many other things that fall into the American culture, are [sharp quick inhalation] — are being gobbled up [with a laugh]). The ancient teaching of crystals stimulates the electrical field of the body and the tuning of the brain.
   The journey can be enhanced in many ways.
   [Whisper] So ... let us go on.

   Linda: Thank you.

   Micciah: You are most welcome.
   [Aloud] In terms of how you are doing as a population on the earth, this a period of intense flux. You have many guardians of this realm who consider it precious. If only you yourselves could awaken, en masse — en masse! — to the precious nature of life, of all life.
   Help is being beamed into you through your tuning systems as quickly and in as strong a dose as you can tolerate. And from our perspective, there is a kind of, ah — immense yearning, and at the same time, still, confusion. So you — you, all of you who are devoted to the cause of life — we urge you, lovingly and most intensely, to offer your meditations and prayers and to devote your actions to service and resourcefulness.
   We have begged the question a little bit. But we will leave it at that. And you may ask, you may ask and ask and ask for support, because the source of which you request the support will never run out. Will never desert you ... will never desert you ... will never be used up....
   So, we share with you all great blessings, and much love, and we bid you ... a very good evening.

   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.
