Today--Saturday, May 31, 2008--"I Love All In Creation Day"

There is NO Death
Article by Russ Michael

***Excerpt from a Russ Michael BLOCKBUSTER EBook:
There is no death! Why? Simply because there is nothing in this universe but life and whatever temporal form it holds. Show me one thing--that at some level--is not alive?

Few on Earth understand that no one dies.

Yes, indeed. There is no denial of the fact that an exit is made by the conscious in-dweller of any physical form from the body at the moment of body death. However are you the body you travel around in? Are you the car you drive in? Are you boat you sail in down the rivers and over the vast ocean of life? Are you the air vehicle--soon to be a silent space hovercraft--that allows you to soar over the clouds and highest mountains upon Earth?

Can you show me one person on Earth who is the body they wear? Can you show me one person who is the thoughts they think or the emotions they feel?

No one is the temporal body they co-created to cruise around in. Nor are they the thoughts they think or the feelings they feel. Instead--as you must well realize by now--they are one of the "they" that have bodies used to transport or handle sentient experiences in a 3-D world. Or they are one of the "they" that ponders, explores or thinks thoughts, or they are one of the "they" that feels the sentient feeling of low fear vibrations or high love vibrations or whatever shade or nuance of feeling in-between our human emotional spectrum.

The body surely can and does disintegrate, even at will--when capable and desired--but you or I will never ever die.

Yet the appearance of the physical body death is only too real to anyone who has "lost" the living sight or spiritual, mental, emotional, or physical touch of a friend or of a loved one. 8
Not one iota of that can alter the fact. There is no death. The friend or loved one has stepped out of one 3-D physical dimensional level zone into a relative 4-D non-physical zone. This is like you stepping out of presence and sight through the door of one room and as the door closes behind--into sight and in the presence of those in another.

Or think of it as being in a 3-D building and stepping into an elevator at the first floor level. You ascend to the 4th floor level. You stop and step out of--your then non-physical elevator--into a 4th Dimensional non-physical building there. Nevertheless, death of a loved one or a friend seems so real to our senses. Yet, the wisest mentors of all time tell us to "look beyond appearances." Is it not a known fact that our physical senses can be the biggest liars or conveyers of illusion we possess?

It is solely our acceptance of the appearance of finality at body death that presents a handicap to our true understanding of what is an eternal and a natural cyclic event.

In time we all learn to look beyond appearances. In time we learn that the life identity--that informs you--or your loved one, or your friend, only appears to die. Your lover is eternal. Your friend is eternal. Thus how can your lover or your friend die? Love is eternal. You are eternal. I am eternal.

You and I never die. It is impossible! There is no death.

After what is the release of the form--or very evident bodily death and 3-D disintegration of the body mass--the still living, unique one-of-a-kind lover, or friend, simply re-forms and continues to live and BE in the non-physical state. In time a choice to re-embody on Earth--or upon another similar planetary 3-D body of the appropriate same vibratory range--is self-chosen by your lover or friend.

Science is right in proclaiming energy is all that exists. Life expresses as energy and is modified into degrees of light mass. Thus through sentient consciousness one unique energy mass can distinguish another perceived energy mass from another.

You and I, and our pet creatures, plants, minerals and other things of every nature are pure life, pure energy, through and through. Each one of us is modified now on Earth into a sentient mass of whirling human energy fields called Maria, John, Michael, Fee-Fee--or a rose, a dream soul mate--or a universe we perceive that swirls endlessly around us. There is unity to all existence. Yet each fragmented self of All That Is lives within a world made of its own co-creative action.
Each one of us--from an atom to the highest Ascended Master Cohan, or a pseudo God, like a brutal, angry, childish Jehovah God of our imagination--or even a Hitler or an Ascended Master of The Secret Great White Brotherhood, a Buddha--and a you and a me--we are each and all totally self-created...and the infinite life within us, each and all, is eternally expanding and extending out of the Great Central Core SUN of the One Creator God SOURCE...of All That Is. There is no death!

We are our own parents in the most exact meaning of that word.

Bless us all. I am, Russ Michael - Age-Reversal@aon.at

Birth of "The Secret" To Masses on Earth

Please check here for an almost daily week-day NOTE--of Inspiration & Direction-- from Russ Michael....'

***New BLOCKBUSTER Russ Michael articles are often posted here on week-ends:

Today--Tuesday, May 27, 2008--"Perfect Communication Day"

I posted this note in my today's Michael Worldwide Nedwsletter:

Note from Michael - as related in my book, "Autobiogrpahy of an Immortal" -though the Law of Attraction led me to hands on training from several other masterful spiritual mentors, like Baird T. Spalding, Neville, etc....most beloved Master D.K. was my first Ascended Master mentor in my current human embodiment.

The Master Djwal Khul dictated the classic more than 20 book series to Alice A. Bailey, in the 1920's to the 1940's - and prepared the masses for the esoteric doctrine referred today as "The Secret" - which as he predicted, that "The Mysteries" would be revealed by one of his diciples--to "the masses" for the first time ever on Earth--via forthcoming Radio, and other mass media communication forms, etc. in the then forthcoming year 1975

D. K. explained, prior to that, "The Mysteries"--as this arcane doctrine was known, had only been taught 'in secret'--down through the ages--on a one-to-one, or strictly to a very small group basis.

My weekly TV broadcast, and my book, aptly titled "The Mysteries" was published, and my TV Show was broadcast via Warner TV--out of Washington D.C. in 1975, as predicted by D.K....as well as through my regular scheduled weekly radio broadcasts, on "The Mysteries," sponsored by my Church of Humanity, located then at 3333 E. Connecticut Ave, was broadcasted on both the East and West coasts....

I also conducted a 3 week intensive workshop... on "The Mysteries" from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, in Virginia Beach, Va., Honolulu, Hawaii, and at several other cities throughout the USA in 1975.

So, far-seeing Master D.K. holds a special place in my heart...and I am so grateful for the reams upon reams of light-filled information this Master has shed into human consciousness on Earth. The Master D.K. was also reponsible for making "The Great Invocation" available to the masses worldwide, which was a powerful factor in opening the "inner eye" of mass humanity on our planet. Bless his heart, soul and spirit. Bless us all, as we are One....I am, Michael (Russ Michael) www.russmichaelebooks.com

You and I are One. We Are All One!

All is well.

The Secret is No Secret Anymore

Article by Russ Michael: Written and Released for publication--New Moon--Jan. 8, 2008


The Secret is No Secret Anymore
by Russ Michael


Re: "Leaving the old secret teachings behind! The new open heart teachings--and--new teacher-student relationships"

Interestingly...someone recently forwarded an email promoting the author of a new book--who stated--that all of the major teachers of "The Secret" had missed a very vital point--which the author would reveal--more in depth--in the author's new book. In the author's innocence the author said all of these profound teachers, including Abraham, had failed to disclose that the student needed to get rid of old programming and through new programming techniques--revealed in the author's book--the reader would thus then be able to manifest and to achieve their other-wise failed desires.

The author appears to make convincing points--however failed to realize what the essence behind all of the old arcane teachings taught--known today in esoteric circles as The Secret. Before disclosing the essence of any genuine arcane secret doctrines, it is important to note that this author failed to realize that Abraham --and other fine modern day teachers of The Secret'-had covered that authors so-called vital missing point with great clarity. Namely, we are continually re-programming ourselves at all levels simply by whatever we give our attention to. What gets and holds our attention automatically creates a "new program" in our consciousness, and at the deepest, most powerful moment of our focus in the NOW moment. The moment that unfolds which we call NOW is where all of the power of all Creation is centered. Therefor whatever we give our attention to--must by Law--re-program our unique, thinking, feeling, being "I Am" self-identity....

The author--as many do--reverted back to the old religious programming that most of us have received, lifetime after lifetime--that "the religion" of that particular religious cult, holds the sacred and ONLY true knowledge to understanding GOD--as taught by that religion.

Actually, a great many authors of sudden new books about The Secret arcane doctrines--and ancient mysteries--fail to grasp or understand the major point that the Founders of their various cults understood, lived and taught widely to anyone with ears to hear or eyes to see. They knew and taught that all sentient life forms in Creation, including each and all of us--without exception--are expansions or extensions of The One Creator God Source. The revelation that needs to be understood and lived sacredly is that each and all of us are Children of The Source of All That is. We are gods and goddesses--all made in the exact image of The One Creator God Source.

All of the other relative teachings about the Law of Attraction; the Law of Allowing, and the awesome power of our thoughts and feelings to be co-creators of 3-Dimensional reality--or co-creative reality--at whatever universal level or dimension we abide in--are simply "the trappings" of this single main TRUTH. You and I, and all our dear brothers and sisters in humanly embodied form are a goddess or a god. There is no other like you in all of Creation! This is the pure sacred essence of what is at the heart of The Secret. Unless that vital point is grasped, understood and lived, all the myriad mental 'trappings" surrounding "how to" utilize this knowledge at the core of The Secret are smoke blowing in the wind.

There is now a new breed of re-awakened teachers of The Secret on Earth today. These mentors are leading those with ears to hear and eyes to see into that undeniable fact that all pertinent true knowledge can be found within the heart of self. The old mind stuff, centered on countless Laws of the Universe and staggering revelations about various levels and dimensions of the mind (as in Theosophy) are no longer appropriate. The ancient but new way of "going within" and understanding the relative truth that applies to each individual, group or gestalt of any size or nature now applies. The new teacher must humbly acknowledge their own role of being learners from their students as well as a mentor who has traveled farther and longer on the ascension path of consciousness and being....

The vagaries of the mind are left behind and the focus of the new teaching is centered on the fact that each and all of us are divine goddesses or gods and equal co-creators of our individual world reality and of the vast unending collective world reality. Emphasis is on listening to the Voice of Source within our own heart, and in giving attention only to that which brings us--and those brothers and sisters in life we lovingly and joyfully serve--with uplifting genuine self-fulfillment. The mind is curtailed to receiving or projecting thought, but is disciplined to follow the decrees of the heart without hesitation.

Then yes--naturally--there is nothing you cannot be, do or have! When you possess the Keys to the Kingdom you can unlock any doors and visit whatever mansions within the heavens and earth of infinite realty that you now perceive and choose to grace with your powerful but humble sacred presence....

My book in eBook form, titled "The Secret is No Secret Anymore" can be reviewed and obtained at my Russ Michael BLOCKBUSTER eBooks website: www.RussMichaeleBooks.com

Your feed-back is always appreciated. If you like what you see and read--and hold it in high regard--please let your loved ones and associates know of your genuine appreciation for my eBooks. It is how the Grid of Light continually expands and extends all over Earth--and how you literally yourself become a genuine Messenger of Light.

It is no accident that we have now met in a mind to-mind and heart-to-heart embrace! I am In gratitude for who you are and what you do to uplift yourself and all others on Earth. I am, Russ Michael, your brother on Earth who listens--absorbs and learns from you--as well! We are One--in Truth and Spirit--in All That Is. Bless your heart.

Book Reader Asks How Can It Be

Please check here for an almost daily week-day NOTE--of Inspiration & Direction-- from Russ Michael....'

***New BLOCKBUSTER Russ Michael articles are often posted here on week-ends:

Today--Wed. April 16, 2008--

SONIA WROTE:

Michael:

I just read your book "Lo secreto ya no es secreto" a translation to spanish of "The Secret is no Secret Anymore". It was very interesting, but I would like to know how can I change my thoughts, because I have tried but it has been impossible. I know I have to, but I do not know how to do it. I am in a personal crisis and I have tried the exercises of your book without any positive result.

Besides, I did not understand why you say in chapter 13 that God is a direct son of Miguel Arcangel (an angel). How can it be possible?

SONIA, beloved soul,

Thanks for your note... First, instead of thinking about changing your thoughts, spend more time and effort in simply thinking of what you really want to think about and feel...and the old thoughts will no longer be "guests" in your conscious mind. You alone govern this process.

As to origins...A God of a Universe is a downline extension of The One Source, the One Creator of All That Is - of the Whole of ALL THAT IS...and IF you re-read the progression of UNFOLDMENT of All That Is, as you grow in stature, at some point within Eternity and Infinity, you too will be the Archangel of your own Universe where the Central God of Your Being will preside. Within the Eternal Now, your universe may be bigger than this Milky Way Galaxy--for no time or space limits exist in True Reality.

You already have a tiny, minature Central Sun within the heart of you, or you would not be alive....? But realize I cannot teach another in a few minutes what I have learned or realized over many decades, as we each must stretch, more and more, into our own great ABSOLUTE Truth of the One Reality.

Keep reeaching for greater comprehension and understanding...and what you seek you will find.

All is well.

Bless us all. I am Michael Age-Reversal@aon.at

A True Definition of Reality From a Stroke Victim

Please check here for an almost daily week-day NOTE--of Inspiration & Direction-- from Russ Michael....'

***New BLOCKBUSTER Russ Michael articles are often posted here on week-ends:

Linda beloved,

We are all connected. THANKS, for following your prompting to send this to me and to others you know who will also find this of great interest and immense benefit. This note to you...along with this website URL will be published in my Russ Michael Blog today, with my urging that everyone highlight and copy it--and activate it in their own computer--and to take the less than 20 minutes to watch this awesome revelatory video. THIS is what the secret is all about!'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyjU8fzEYU&feature=user

You asked for my input....I think it would be fabulous if every person on Earth could and would see, listen and respond to this awesome personal life experience. It would be the true use of television and our Internet. I recommend passing it on to everyone you meet, non-stop.

It took this dear doctor lady soul 8 years to recover FULLY from her STROKE...and to thus be able to coherently transmit this incredible knowledge. That knowledge alone be be of great inspiration to oujr brothers and sisters who have already suffered a sTroke.

It is no accident that individuals have near death experiences or strokes and come back into full re-embodiment to deliver these kind of messages. Most of the time, we who have had these kind of experiences are fulfilling a pre-birth contract we made with our Creator God, I am That I Am SOURCE. .

This is the kind of information that can help to awaken each and all of us on Earth with light speed. Bless her heart. Bless you for forwarding it to me and to those you care about and interact with in your own beautiful human life expression. We are all so blessed.to receive and perceive this kind of direct, empirical "hands on" information, and from a human soul who came to serve humanity upon Earth. Bless us all. In humble JOY, I am, Russ Michael

You Have The Power

Daily personal NOTE from Michael:

CHECK HERE for an almost daily NOTE--of Daily Inspiration--or Direction--from Russ Michael....
***new BLOCKBUSTER Russ Michael articles--often posted--on week-ends:

Today--Thursday, Feb. 22, 2008--is another day to give thanks for all the many blessings that flow in, through and around us. The secret, very real power each of us possesses is infinitely great! You have the power to change this day into something better for yourself and those you touch by your physical or mental presence.

Do not forget the immense power of gratitude.

Every time we note or give attention to what we feel gratitude for it lifts all creation just that much higher. I hope you understand what counts most is the invisible, subtle power of your thought-- and your feeling--for this is the unseen power that ushers in every change made anywhere in creation. Three-dimensional physical action is miniscule compared to the power of your thought, especially when coupled with strong feeling.

Bless your heart. Make this day a fitting day for the sacred goddess or god being you are.....

Action Breeds Action

Daily personal NOTE from Michael:

CHECK HERE for an almost daily NOTE--of Daily Inspiration--or Direction--from Russ Michael....
***new BLOCKBUSTER Russ Michael articles--often posted--on week-ends:

Today--Thursday, Feb. 21, 2008--is a day to ponder if you are acting on making your dreams become manifest or waiting fo the Universe to park your dream at your feet. Another saying you will find stated often in my various books is, "action breeds action."

Fortunately I was taught not only the major laws surrounding "the secret" by a master mentor many decades ago--this Master emphasized the point that what we do today sets the ground we walk upon tomorrow. This applies not only to our powerful thoughts and feelings--but to the wise follow-through of inspired action, Our action is a signal to the Universe and to the Law of Attraction that we are serious about manifesting what we desire....

Wishful thinking has little power but a strong desire, strong enough to inspire some physical 3-D motion made by you toward helping to make that dream come true is what the phrase "power in action" means. Dream your dreams and remember to put all the inspired action into and toward making them a physical reality that you can imagne. Bless your dream. Bless you. Bless us all. I am, Russ Michael.

Sunday, January 27, 2008

Anyone who has been reading my books for the past 47 years knows that I introduced the concept, the idea--and the very word "SOULMATE" to mass conscious mind of humanity on our Earth in 1970, with the advent of my book, Finding Your Soulmate...

Prior to 1970 the word "soulmate" --strange as it may seem--was not an idea, or a concept, yet known--or realized--in the minds and hearts of our teeming human masses upon Earth. In 1970 the word "soulmate" did not exist in the minds of the masses.

It was obvious to me, then knowing and teaching what is today known--or tagged or hyped as "The Secret"--that IF I succeeded in having the average man and woman on Earth understand that there was a wondrous "lover relationship" state--that far transcended a normal marriage love relationship--or rampant "one-night stands" with a passing lover--that "soulmate" idea alone would gradually awaken the sleeping masses to a natural next level of thought--the recognition of that divine soul within each and all of us, and all other living beings.

I was inspired by the thought of my calling attention to the possibility of meeting another loving mate--whether a normal marriage partner, a soulmate, a Twin Soul or a special love--at a level beyond our normal dual 3-D body and mind relationship--at a SOUL-MATED level--would soon allow everyone to subtly soon realize they were not a mere human body, but an eternal, infinite soul. This would lead --in time--to be an enormous quantum enlightening leap in global mass human consciousness. Before and during the 1970's, the idea of the human inner soul, of psychic phenomena, mind over matter, of meditation, or the vast difference between being religious or spiritual, or the power of the mind for anyone to be, do or have whatever they desired was thought about or expressed in less than 15% of the masses. Today is a good 85% of all of us on earth know or even have a high interest in these subjects.

My hope and my intention in 1970--in my first soulmate book was--that in divulging the possibility of a soul mate kind of marriage or relationship being possible--in due time--the idea of having a higher, more fulfilling kind of a love relationship--with a very "special someone soulmate" would grow and grow in the mind of humanity.

I felt it was a subtle--yet powerful way of letting the average man or woman on our earth know she or he could forego an ordinary--socially accepted and ordained state marriage--by opting to be fused together with a life-long mate, at that higher, deeper, broader inner soul mate level.

I was sure this very new idea or thought would lead humanity on a quest to desire, seek and find their very own unique soulmate, their Twin Flame, or their special lover. I knew that simply knowing that a soul-to-soul-relationship would slowly lift more and more singles, or lifelong marriage partners to seek, find or establish a soulmate relationship with in a soulmate marriage that would be a boon to themselves and to humanity beyond counting.
