Messages from Michael; 25th Anniversary Edition Paperback – March 4, 2005

Great

"Messages From Michael" provides an interesting look at soul evolution. It's described from the "viewpoint" of an entity known as "Michael", who has apparently already been through much of this evolution itself & had come through to share its' knowledge.One of the things that really drew me into this book is that it's stated over & over again that belief is not required, and that this information is NOT meant to be used dogmatically - but instead used to expand ourselves - evolution will occur no matter what we choose.It's also strongly suggested that, instead of believing all that is said on blind faith, one should test this information for themselves - think of your life, and ask yourself "could this make sense in light of the info. provided in the Michael "teachings".Overall, I found this book to be very interesting, exciting & thought-provoking - it was a real page-turner. I especially liked the discussions around various soul ages, levels & such - These sections helped me to consider a new potential reason for why we may be drawn to some people, and want to avoid others at all costs - something I find quite interesting.In the end, I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in spirituality & soul evolution - it has much to offer.

As a spiritual seeker, I have read numerous books on reincarnation and karma. "Messages from Michael" and the other three Michael books by comparison provide comprehensive teachings on the soul's evolutionary process through five successive cycles (Infant Soul, Baby Soul, Young Soul, Mature Soul, Old Soul). The innocent Infant Soul experiences a number of primitive human lives before completing this cycle. Then it moves on to the Baby Soul cycle and loses its innocence in the process. At the Young Soul cycle, the incarnate soul immerses itself in materialism. All this is part of the plan. The Mature Soul has learned from its mistakes and gained some understanding. The Old Soul is more and more enlightened. The Michael entity teaches that there are no bad souls, only young souls. The evolutionary system appears complicated at first but once you have become acquainted with the particular terminology employed by the Michael entity and the meaning it conveys, it gets easier. The Michael books are a true blessing.

bought this years ago. informative for those who believe in reincarnation, soul stages and their roles. would recommend for anyone who seeks to learn more about these topics. also recommend the follow-up: More Messages From Michael by the same author

The information in this book is both surprising and mind-blowing in its ramifications, a no-holds-barred look at the world from a higher perspective by one who does not demand devotion, who is just "one of us, down the road", so to speak, and who insists repeatedly that no dogma is to become of the information. The writing feels edited, though, as if some of the information was massaged. There's a "feel" to the content which differs in places, where it seems at times the voice of a higher wisdom, and at times the voice of a hungry writer. What is most satisfying is the depth of information presented, a complete system for understanding human behavior and how to apply it to one's life.

I love new agey spiritual books like this. For me, I wondered why all this mattered- even if it is true. I couldn’t get through the whole book even though I found it interesting. (Still don’t want to use a Ouija board though!)

New agers won’t like that I gave this book a single star, but most new agers are swayed by fluff and never consider that channeled material could come from a deceptive, negative polarity being. I’ve read countless books about life, religion, quantum physics, new age, old age, philosophy, metaphysical, channeled, and self-help books. This one didn’t feel right to me. I was actually looking forward to learning more about God/Spirit/Universal Consciousness and how things work. I did my best to be open to the teachings, but what led me to give this book one star rested on two main points.The first point is the Ouija board. Anyone who has any knowledge of white and dark magic knows that this is a tool used by the dark side for contact. Positive polarity beings don’t contact people through the Ouija board. And since this is a dark tool for contact, the dark entities will give you just enough positive content to hook you into believing them. Then they will control you from that point on with deception and lies and keep you away from the truth and light.The other point that was not right to me was all of the classifications that this Michael entity gave. Life, personality, and souls just don’t fit neatly into the small list of characteristics that this Michael entity portrays. Infinite options do not fit into a cookie-cutter mold, as suggested by this Michael entity.I don’t see myself ever delving into this Michael entity’s teachings again.

Many people believe that the Earth is a college for our souls, this book details the how, why, when and where of our education on this planet. It offers great insight into the reason we are here, how we choose our lessons on the astral plane and then incarnate on this physical plane so that class may begin.It reveals that believe isn't necessary as we all will learn eventually regardless if we want to or not. It makes sense of many of the wild theories of afterlife and where we go when we die and what our ultimate purpose is on this planet.Awesome testimony of the spiritual presence of mankind!

Mostly terribly written. Just immature writing skills with the maximum amount of expositional dialogue you will ever suffer through. However, I was more interested in the subject matter than the writing craft so I made it through. It follows a group of (poorly written) people who “stumble” upon an entity named Michael. He has all the answers to all of the universal questions we seek answers for. The book is painfully divided into upper and lower case text for the seance group and all caps for Michael. A tough read but some of the thoughts were intriguing (though heavily biased by the author) and overall, what it will do, is make you seek out better books on the same subject. Written in 1978 and it shows.

This 242-page book by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro is channelled material based on transcripts from a mid-causal entity (a group of beings) called Michael. Published originally in 1979 and with a later intro from 2004, it is very interesting. It's complex material that talks about the soul, cycles of reincarnation, the purpose of reincarnations, levels of reality other than physical, the soul-psychology (the aspects of a souls makeup [the overleaves] that are chosen for a given incarnation), the purpose of life (to develop agape - unconditional love and acceptance). Michael talks matter-of-factly, directly, non-judgementally, often answering questions and saying he wants to inform.Can it be true? Well I don't think it is fiction (apart from concealment of details e.g., names). It bears consideration alongside the best material from psychics e.g., from Jane Roberts (Seth) and Edgar Cayce, and gives a description of the structure of the levels of reality and a description of the psychological flavours (the overleaves) when on the physical plane.I am uncertain as to how to reconcile the rather clear structured reality and psychological context described with Seth's freer "you create your own reality" ... there are no closed systems ... we each journey through our own psychological landscape. I'm intrigued that the overleaves, which are said to shape (and allow one to forecast) personal behaviour, bear no similarity to the best (and best predictive) modern personality type systems i.e., Myers-Briggs ... (which is based on Jungian ideas).

A fantastic book for those interested in other possibilities, rather than the conventionally drilled propaganda, sorry, i mean education. Thank you so much.

thanks

This is an exceptional book. Packed with information you just don't get anywhere else.I really enjoyed it.
