Messages from Michael #4
Michael for the Millennium
They speak through a Ouija board, spelling out messages from a higher plane of existence. they answer to the name of Michael, the collectiv e voice of those who have lived and learned throughout the ages. Michael is not a ghost or a spirit, but an amassing of souls. And they are here to help us...
For more than two decades, the messages of Michael have been faithfully recorded by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro and a dedicated group of friends. Their phenomenal communication has enriched our knowledge of the cosmos, bringing new hope and meaning to our lives. Their first book, "Messages from Michael," was praised by "The Chattanooga Times" as "a serious search for the answers to age-old questions." Now the essence known as Michael has returned with new insights to renew our spirits, uplift our, souls, and guide us through the next millennium.

About the author
Chelsea Quinn Yarbro
260 books477 followersA professional writer for more than forty years, Yarbro has sold over eighty books, more than seventy works of short fiction, and more than three dozen essays, introductions, and reviews. She also composes serious music. Her first professional writing - in 1961-1962 - was as a playwright for a now long-defunct children's theater company. By the mid-60s she had switched to writing stories and hasn't stopped yet.
After leaving college in 1963 and until she became a full-time writer in 1970, she worked as a demographic cartographer, and still often drafts maps for her books, and occasionally for the books of other writers.
She has a large reference library with books on a wide range of subjects, everything from food and fashion to weapons and trade routes to religion and law. She is constantly adding to it as part of her on-going fascination with history and culture; she reads incessantly, searching for interesting people and places that might provide fodder for stories.
In 1997 the Transylvanian Society of Dracula bestowed a literary knighthood on Yarbro, and in 2003 the World Horror Association presented her with a Grand Master award. In 2006 the International Horror Guild enrolled her among their Living Legends, the first woman to be so honored; the Horror Writers Association gave her a Life Achievement Award in 2009. In 2014 she won a Life Achievement Award from the World Fantasy Convention.
A skeptical occultist for forty years, she has studied everything from alchemy to zoomancy, and in the late 1970s worked occasionally as a professional tarot card reader and palmist at the Magic Cellar in San Francisco.
She has two domestic accomplishments: she is a good cook and an experienced seamstress. The rest is catch-as-catch-can.
Divorced, she lives in the San Francisco Bay Area - with two cats: the irrepressible Butterscotch and Crumpet, the Gang of Two. When not busy writing, she enjoys the symphony or opera.
Her Saint-Germain series is now the longest vampire series ever. The books range widely over time and place, and were not published in historical order. They are numbered in published order.
Known pseudonyms include Vanessa Pryor, Quinn Fawcett, T.C.F. Hopkins, Trystam Kith, Camille Gabor.

Many interesting concepts and social/political commentary. However, as I see it, Yarbro, being a prolific author of fiction, 'doctored' this book as the alter-ego of 'Michael'. The main message is that all choices made by humans are 'valid.' Even the worst, most selfish and cruel actions are 'rewarded' by way of progress on the spiritual path although karmic ties accumulate and need to be 'burned' (paid for) in another life. Reincarnations are very frequent--two or three per century--compared to what other sources of 'wisdom' have revealed. Each of us is part of a group entity consisting of over a thousand 'fragments'. Michael's reality is very mathematical and mechanical. A entertaining read for those who like speculative cosmology.

March 11, 2017One of my core metaphysical books. The fourth in a series of four enlightening adventures into personal existence. Keep in mind that this series is is not intended to cover all there is to know on the subject. Like a teacher in school, Michael is focusing on one single aspect of human life, particularly, the personality, how it is constructed and how it expresses itself. It all might seem crazy at first, but please stick with it and you will gain many insights into the people you encounter.

One of the many type of books I read in the mid-nineties during an intense internal metaphysical search.
