“Today, many of us are trying to understand just what male and female energies are, since we are calling old rigid stereotypes into questions. There is a risk of replacing such stereotypes with even more politically correct rigid stereotypes. The destructive aspect of the masculine has been emphasized in recent years, but both the feminine and the masculine have destructive sides. (The evil witch in fairy tales is an example of the destructive feminine.) Love is the ultimate nature of everything; it is not just the feminine that is loving. We tend to think of female energy as nurturing because it is undirected—it includes everything—but perhaps one could say that the feminine loves and nurtures in a being way, and the masculine does so in a doing way. We are each capable of loving in both ways.”

“You may ask, "What do I do with my anger and hate?" Love them. At their heart, they are love designed to change or keep out what does not belong, and this can increase love.”

“Those who apparently do evil do it ultimately out of love, even if their actions are misguided for the moment.”

“There are such things as delusions, but not every unlikely vision that the mentally ill have is imaginary.”

“An infinite soul incarnates in order to catalyze massive spiritual change in a civilization, generally during a shift from one average soul age to another. An incarnation of a transcendental soul usually precedes it in order to catalyze massive social change.”

“All true teachings expand awareness, not limit it.”

“As we move into unprecedented changes in our world, new and better tools are needed for meeting the challenges. The Michael teachings are one such tool.”

“With any spiritual teaching, we are working with rounded-off truths, because we cannot work directly with the whole truth—it’s too big.”

“Truth is infinite and is therefore vast enough to hold an infinite number of facets. It has been said that the measure of an idea’s greatness is the degree to which its opposite is also true. For example, love is gentle; love is also strong.”

“Still, we always have some level of choice, even if it only how we react and make use of what life brings us.”

“Through channeling, we can make conscious contact with higher planes. We can also communicate with beings who are physical but nonhumans, such as devas (nature spirits), dolphins and whales, and extraterrestrials.”
