Transcript by ZOOM Edited and Susan A. Flow
Pt. 1 Channeled Lecture on Overleaves and Forecast
Pt.2 – Audience Q & A
Steve Note: “As many of you know, there are a number of us, Michael Channels, who do these kind of monthly, quarterly, yearly kind of predictive updates. And each one of us have our own take on how we utilize the Overleaves when we’re using them as descriptive adjectives and trying to give you context for the way that the year’s energy is going. The reason I start off with that maybe obvious acknowledgement to some of you is because tonight’s presentation I admit to being a bit anxious about, and a bit agitated about. I’ve been working to keep my own energy centered, but what I’ve been getting is just to be honest with you folks, so I can release that energy and just allow it to be at least truthfully acknowledged, so that whatever influence it might have in coming through tonight, you can account for it by virtue of me saying it and taking ownership of it, so that you don’t have to wear it. You don’t have to infuse it or feel like it’s labeled over the material.”
Stephen: Well, folks…Welcome to another exciting adventure of Michael’s Consortium. This is the final quarter of 2026. So, welcome to all the faces that are just dropping in. Hello, John and Russ. Hello, Joe. Hello, Mike. Hello, Susan. Hello, Kerrin. Hello, Jillian and Rebekah. Hello Kathryn, Phil, and Paige. Hello, Sarah, my lovely wife, who’s in the next room monitoring things. Ah, even Cheri. decided to come. All right.
Michael’s Consortium: We are going to go ahead and start officially. And I want to start off by welcoming you all and thanking you all for being here. And as I leap into this, I want to remind you of some of the Overleaves that have been present this year by talking about the ones that are actually the most potent and most up right now. So to put the largest possible container around tonight’s talk and this year of 2026, remember that the energy of Warrior has been the predominant influence. This Warrior Year Sage cast, it’s been a grounded one, it’s been somewhat of a one where a lot of us have seen a lot of conflict, a lot of arguments, but also a lot of grounding, a lot of getting regimented, a lot of getting stalwart, and those have been some useful energies in the Positive Pole. Some of the Negative Pole of Warrior Sage Cast will come up as we talk about tonight.
But right now, of the Overleaves that were predicted for this year, the parts that are the most active, in order that you see here on the screen, are the Intellectual Center, the Chief Feature of Impatience, the Passion Mode and the ambivalence of the Masculine and Feminine energy balance, because it’s right down the middle. And I’ll explain more about what that means.
But also what will really be hot or heated for many of you will be down there in the right corner. You see it says the Needs of the Nine Needs, the Needs of Security, Acceptance, and Power are featured. And in this last part of the year, we think that these Overleaves are going to really infuse you paying attention to these Needs within your own life and how you fulfill them, or not fulfill them, and then experience the sense of whenever a Need is not fulfilled, which has a degree of lack, or deficiency, or emptiness.
But also what will really be hot or heated for many of you will be down there in the right corner. You see it says the Needs of the Nine Needs, the Needs of Security, Acceptance, and Power are featured. And in this last part of the year, we think that these Overleaves are going to really infuse you paying attention to these Needs within your own life and how you fulfill them, or not fulfill them, and then experience the sense of whenever a Need is not fulfilled, which has a degree of lack, or deficiency, or emptiness.
Michael’s Consortium: So, let’s jump right in. You notice that with the Intellectual Center, of course, we’re talking about the brain, and we’re talking about the mind, the fifth chakra of also communication and the head.
Now, one of the things that has been true for 2026 but is really heating up for reasons that many of you will be undoubtedly asking about is that the sheer bombardment of mental input that you have all been facing. It has been greater than at any time in history. Your own, or human history, for that matter. But what is also true is the amount of effect that bombardment has had on raising anxiety levels. The information itself has been stressful for many people to hear. The number and ways that it has been delivered and whether it’s even true or false, and we mean true or false, meaning from a human or a bot generated AI has created a lot of mental confusion, a lot of anxiety and a lot of stress. It brings cortisol up in the body, and that cortisol effect actually lends people to feel much less capable of thinking clearly.
And we think that as a prediction for these next 3 months, one of the things that we want to advise you is to keep your decisions and your scope of actions as clear and narrow and as derived down to as few of options as you can make them. Because if you can do that you’re gonna find that at least you’ll be able to keep your Centering, and by Centering, we don’t mean the Intellectual, Emotional or Movement Center. We mean centering in the energetic balance concept of the of the term.
So… Working with the Intellectual Center, we’re not surprised of many of you are experiencing this kind of mental confusion. Now, probably the one that is probably most evident for a lot of you and has been and is going to ramp up even more is the Chief Feature of Impatience.
Now, in the Positive Pole, Impatience is daring, boldness; a willingness to take a leap. It is the King’s Chief Feature, so it has a declaration of a kind of personal sovereignty to it. And you see the phrase there that we have, “Intolerance to Intolerance”.
Now, in the Negative Pole, that can raise anger tremendously, but not just anger, but bitterness, blaming, hating kind of anger. And of course, that easily falls into and raises the specter of people, getting much more violent.
Now, as you folks, as Old Souls, don’t be surprised if you snap at each other. And if you do just say I’m sorry and then move on. Because it is not about the suppression of anger. If anything, that has been part of the problem that has brought the society and this world to this brink. In the diversion of the light holders trying to repress anger, it is also fueled and become like a bulging flame, or should we say container of gas that is ready to explode in a lot of people’s fear zone.
And when we move to the Mode of Passion, which has also been up this year, remember, Passion in the Positive Pole is Self-Actualization, but in the Negative Pole, it’s Identification. And right now, many of these poles, in case you’re not getting our inference, I will tell you right out. Everything, or most everything, is expressing out of the Negative Poles predominantly in the world.
Holding your passion means differentiating your identities whether you’re white or male or senior citizen, or from… whatever your nationality that you may relate to, your socioeconomic level. Your status as a spiritual being within this community, it could be even just holding onto your Roles and your Overleaves and saying, pronouncing with great verve, “Well, this is who I am.”
But notice, that’s an Identification and a rigidity, trying to claim some kind of border and boundary, and that’s usually what comes up in a negative expression of people looking for security and power. Because they feel threaten by those boundaries, because they’re not centered inside themselves.
Now, with the balance of Masculine and Feminine energy, remember, you have heard us say over and over again, and we want to acknowledge that we believe that we are probably the loudest of the Channels who make it very specifically clear. Masculine and feminine energy does not mean male and female. Those are gender roles. Those are literally body parts and sexual or sexual plumbing, alright? But Masculine and Feminine energy, the Yin and the Yang, the more energized forward, outgoing, masculine, as opposed to the enduring, encompassing, more diffuse feminine presence.
Both have their strengths, and you notice with this 50/50 split, it’s available to all of you. So, regardless of your Masculine and Feminine energy, what it means, of course, and you see we say it can feel ambivalent, is that the difficulty can be, well, swinging, if you will, from one side to the next. We can tell you that for most of you, the dominant quantity or percentage of your own masculine-feminine energy ratio, you will tend to naturally swing to it. And you will probably swing to it in more negative expressions. So Negative Pole masculinity is rigidity and Negative Pole femininity is diffusion and essentially a level of… non-committalness. Not just ambivalence, but unfocused.
What we want to say, and what we want to lobby for with you, is what is really needed, is Masculine energy is the part of yourself, that determined aspect of yourself to be courageous, to be brave, and sometimes even to be bold. To be bold, to be assertive, to be willing to confront even.
And what the Positive Pole of Feminine energy has to offer is a sense of endurance, and a sense of being able to assuage oneself and say, “I am bigger than this”, and literally distribute it out, and not just fixate on the reactiveness to it. So boldness and courage is really necessary, and you’ll find you’ll be challenged by this and called upon.
Throughout the last couple of years, we’ve been introducing and we want to remind you of the concept of the 80-20 rule. Many of you know this from many different sources and social sciences, and you know it probably hearing it from us, but we really want to emphasize it as a framework, a frame of reference. Because with the Intellectual Center being so prominent this year. We want you to just be able to have a really quick go-to reflection, reflective kind of signpost.
So, realize that what the 80-20 rule basically says is that anytime you can focus 20% of your energy in a concentrated way in any direction, because if you did it in a very self-destructive or negative way, that would work too, but in a way that you are determined to make happen either for yourself, but this Warrior year and this arc of these 25 years, if you recall, we have been saying it’s about also bringing yourself into the world. This is more than you just doing this for you.
The more you can fixate your 20% active concentration of an intent of a principle, of a value, of an action, of a collaboration with a group of people the more permanently that set of behaviors or attitudes are not only going to change in yourself, but they’re going to contribute to what’s going on in the outer world. Now remember, you don’t have to be just an Old Soul, this principle works no matter what. So, there are plenty of younger souls who are fixated in the other direction.
Now, that gets into our 80% inactivity of the 20… 80-20 rule. And why we bring this up is because what has happened over the last 15 years is that, since the major Nexus at the end of 2016, when the great contraction happened, is that many people have, you know, literally contracted their energy, and stayed basically inactive, or stayed on the sidelines, or stayed fairly passive. And so that inertia, that passivity, has lent to keeping the status quo, or the situation rolling forward as it has up to this point.
And so we offer this to you because in the slides to come, we want to be able to help you to do some real-world, kind of both psychological and personal evaluation to simplify. But also really hone in on what those things are for yourself in a meaningful way, not just accepting passive speech.
We’ll do our job tonight and talk about the highlights for the next three months, October, November, and December. And the first thing we’re doing is we’re introducing the Nexus points that are going to be happening in each of these months so that you can reference back to these and say, “Oh, I felt an energy shift”, and then you can either check in with yourself, but we will tell you in general, folks, that those of you who are interested in astrology, use your astrological sources as the main guides, or if we or other Channels publish various updates as to talking about what kind of Nexus they were, and or what sort of energies they bring in.
All right. So, in just next week, on the 2nd, you’re gonna have your first Convergent Nexus, and that one will bring in a few of what appears to us, for most people, because these… remember, Nexuses are governed by the TAO, not your individual Essences. So the TAO is going out and bringing in what personal parallel realities, it wants to have re-influenced the Collective.
Now, in that, so to speak, that harvest, or that recombination, you may find that a whole bunch get brought in to you, or you may find that only one or two, and those one or two you may find particularly beneficial, they may be hard, you may notice nothing at all.
But it will happen, so don’t be surprised if on that day, and we believe that is a Friday or Saturday, that you experience what appears to be a kind of a shift in energy. And one of the things that we see about the October Nexus Points is that there’s going to be a great deal of weather events, and very strong weather events that happen across the world in all the Nexuses throughout this Fall and Winter. So, it may be interesting if you follow it from that standpoint.
On the 31st, Halloween, November 1st and November 2nd. The spiritual holidays, meaning All Hallows Eve, Halloween, All Saints Day, November 1st, and then Dia de Los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, on the 2nd.
We think that you’re going to find that there will be a lot of personal experience of resolutions. Of having the sense or memory of people that you’ve loved and people that have departed revisit you in your mind, in your awareness, and with that, a lot of the memories and or unresolved elements will be available to you.
In November, the Nexus points will be on the 10th which, as we mentioned there, will activate the 2027 Overleaves, which are going to be Scholar and the Assimilative Axis So, some of the things to point out. Remember that this slide will be embedded in your transcripts when it’s posted in about a week or so.
What to do with October’s energy is focus your efforts on making and strengthening connections, especially those where you experience yourself with having people, whether they’re family members, friends, or even just people you work with. The ones, like, that share your resources, or who you would share resources with, who you would share mutual aid with. This is all addressing the Need we mentioned earlier about Security.
But also psychological Security under the Need of Acceptance; who you exchange, who you can talk with, and exchange your intimate confidences. It’s very important to make an effort to have those. And if you can do as much one-to-one, real-life interaction that means personal visits, if possible, phone calls, not texts. ZOOM’s better than phone calls, but in any case, make them person-to-person and personable. Why? (Several non-muted interruptions) So, in any case, making your October focused on that will be useful.
In the November area, many of you know that, of course, the energy’s beginning to change, the days get shorter, things get cooler. When you have that experience, there is the feeling of wanting to get comfortable. So some of the things we’re saying is literally cook and think about just what things are important values, and what things really make your life worth living.
And if you can do that, and you can really bring in the flavors of Autumn. Savory. Bring in what you savor. You’ll find that if you can reduce those things and make them really clear to yourself then the external world turmoil will be something that you can disconnect more easily from and come back to these anchors.
Lastly, in December, as we said, things are going to begin to really change, and there’s going to be a feeling of intensity that’ll be coming up, but you don’t have to play quite into the world intensity and how to do that. The answer is don’t focus on the future. At least give yourself the entirety of December. If you start doing too much future think anything except your own personal appointments and your own significant personal events. Obviously, focus on those.
But we’re talking about larger scale things. What’s going to happen next year? Where am I going to be? How is it going to turn out? All of that kind of rumination into the large scale will take any amount of joy and any amount of satisfaction away from you, and it will add to that heightened distortion that we talked about in the Intellectual Center.
So we’re giving you this as an example of what you might work on in these next 3 months, because it will give your mind and your passion both a place to focus and hone in on and to give meaning and to give a concentrated kind of list, really, for yourself.
We’d like you to think about what your principles and values really are. We’ve talked about this before, but as the next year, the Scholarly year brings in a number of agitations and difficulties. It’ll be very easy to lose your point of Centering, your point of internalness. And so, I wanted to offer you an example. These are from the American Red Cross. Some of you know that Steve, I, am an American Red Cross volunteer, but I really admire these, and I want to differentiate the differences between principles and values, because as you see there.
Principles are intellectual definitions or concepts that you are holding literally, to create the containers of your life and what your world is. And what you bring to life, more particularly. And values are what are really, truly important to you. And that importance, then, to you, is what makes a value different from a principle. Now, principles can be important, certainly. But the real emotional gravity that most people feel into them comes from what you really value.
The difference between… you might say, I hold the principle of loving all people but notice how flat that can be. But when you say, I have the value of loving my spouse, or my children, or my grandchildren, that’s a personal value. And it has an emotional attachment to it. You might even say, using the concept of Passion Mode is that is a positive identifier. That is a positive attachment to have.
So, we don’t need you to copy this list, even though, as we said, you can see there the seven principles are Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, that is to say, to be able to work on your own without necessarily taking directions. But we would have said of it think about Interdependence as well. Giving voluntary service from self-outward, Unity, meaning we’re all in this together, and Universality, meaning whatever one does affects the whole.
And then the how to do it, the things that you bring to your inner sense of strength and emotional sharing, Compassion, Collaboration, Creativity, Credibility, and Commitment. So, just examples, but they’re good and really well stated.
So, why are we saying all this? Why are we emphasizing anchors, principles, and values? Well, folks, as you can see from the photograph on the right, and many of you are already experiencing this, the representation of all of these people in angst watching the dollar bill there, and money represents resources for most people, begin to disintegrate.
And that many of you are experiencing that yourself right now, with the increase in prices and the difficulty in some markets of actually getting things. And the because that we want to say is that in this next quarter in through 2027 and 2028 really begins the year period of the Instinctive Center Disruption and Insecurity time. Now, we didn’t want to be overdramatic or sound overly alarming, but we do mean to present this statement with a certain warning of gravity.
(Understand the last word is a to WARNING you. Not advocating you engage in it!
Though the survival of the humane may depend on defending against the inhumane.)
Because it will be time to make this Warrior’s reality check for yourself and to realize that in the world at large, when you are seeing things in there you’re gonna have to confront a lot of things that you otherwise didn’t want to personally maybe get involved in. Because, as the statements say, and this is our Warrior contingent estimating and looking at the world as it stands in this very heated, condensed Young Soul Era is the time to realize that this Instinctive Center really brings up great, great confrontation and potential conflict.
And there is no negotiations. There are no negotiated settlements. The sides of reason, the amount of emotion that is up in the world is so great, and it needs to pop to be expelled, to be worked through, and it’s going to pop. And when it pops, there is very little rhyme or reason, there is only targets and victims.
And so for yourself is to be ready to not be victimized. And that’s a really important understanding of how to define the three, particularly the Needs of Security. And your own acquisition of power. And your best acquisition of power is, “Who do you make allies with?” Who do you become friends, and a network, and a contingency with, so that you can literally share comfort and support, but if necessary, resources, advice.
And the kind of things that, when times are tough in the world… and ladies and gentlemen, because we tend to focus on the United States, and many of you here are all in… within the Western world, in the United States and America, you have had a great deal of comfort that much of the rest of the world has not had. So it’s happening in many places in the world already.
Much of Eastern Europe is in a great deal of turmoil beyond Putin’s Russia and invasion, then war with Ukraine. And the Middle East is much more unstable than what you see with and the Palestinians, and Iran, and the United States and Saudi Arabia, and Yemen, and any number of destabilized energies in those states. It has all been happening, and to a great extent, many of you have been absented or spared that, because much of what’s going on is the rot underneath the surface here.
And yet, you guys have been able to get by because you’ve been able to consume, and you’ve been able to consume as a palliative.
Now we shift to this next slide because we want to just let you know that when we have that sign up there, only courageous intelligence can thrive in complex uncertainty. We’re making that as a statement.
And what is courageous intelligence, and what is complex uncertainty? Courageous intelligence means that you make the determined affirmation saying, “I may not know at all. But I am strong enough to make a decision, and I can find out what’s really true”. And finding out what really is true is not just retreating back to your beliefs at any one given time. Because remember, the Intellectual Center is also about memory. And of course, much of the world is already… you see the entire MAGA movement, you see entire Baby Soul and Young Soul-oriented beings across the planet, reaching into their religions, reaching into their stated national affiliations, or their beliefs about their identities of… as males or females, and just pulling things out of that bookshelf as we introduced the analogy to you last time instead of really thinking through, “Okay, what’s really going on that I have to decide about here?” instead of just throwing all my instinctive beliefs at, that I’ve got to make a new decision or confront it.
And if you do that, you will find it will cause you to be more present than you’ve been in a long time. Fear, when utilized, can cause you to be absolutely feeling alive and very present, even if it feels uncomfortable because you’re really in the moment.
Now, you’ve heard us talk about the fact that the shift from the Young Soul Era to the Mature Soul Era is one of the general mass orientation that everything is simple, binary, and there’s absolutes. That’s the Young, Baby and Infant Soul orientation to the reality of the universe.
What the Mature and Old Soul is embracing, and this Mature and Old Soul evolutionary period since the Second World War, really has ushered in is that there are always many layers, many facets, and many aspects in a certain circumstance that are in the midst of making a decision. And in the case of complex uncertainty. It means what you predict is seldom gonna happen the way that you think it is. So what you do is you learn how to be present, as we said, that’s your Courageous Intelligence, and then scan for the concrete things in front of you. And by the concrete things, in other words, things you could verify.
And when you verify those, just notice, you know, how quickly your emotional attachment to, “Ooh, I hate that, or Ooh, I want this, or, because I really believe that” might skew your judgment. Stay out of the good or bad, because your good or bad isn’t gonna serve you. It’s just gonna show you what your native preference is, and your native default is. Instead, say, “Okay, in this circumstance, what do I gotta do?”
And if you do that, you’ll find you’ll be making clearer decisions. And if you can keep the decisions really small, and experiment with new things, okay? If you’re… if you have to go to a different brand, let’s… let’s make it real simple. If you have to go to a different brand of a certain thing that you rely on experiment with it, try it out. Don’t just go, “Oh, no, I can’t!” Because if it’s a real possibility that you would be harmed by not getting something, or doing something, or participating in something, because your fear, or apprehension, or your belief about, “Well, I can’t go there.”
Stop. And say, “Wait a minute. Do I, and must I, actually at least try this out for a couple of times?” Because in there, you may find some solutions, small solutions, to whatever issue’s right in front of you. And you may have poo-pooed them before or not even noticed them.
But if you do that, you’ll be doing as the gymnast here is doing. Being on that balance beam is very tenuous, as you see the image. And a skilled gymnast, meaning a courageous, intelligent person knows themselves and your own inner steps enough to make each of those steps in your evaluation process. They’re not taking them for granted. They’re totally present and making each movement deliberately and with full concentration. So that’s why we adopted that particular image.
Now, we’re not going to stay on this too long, because you obviously get the reference of the image that we’ve got here. It’s very interesting what AI will generate for you when given enough prompts.
But what we, what we said was, is show us a depiction of a king who regularly misinforms and deceives his populace and then show the populace. And it inferred from all of that this image.
You notice that the Clown King is the only one laughing where the audience is crying. And why we want to just mention that is because, again, this is the Negative Pole cast of the Warrior energy of the Intellectual Center and the Sage cast of both. It’ll continually ask you, and one of the reasons we said about principles is because you’re gonna have a price. What’s your price to stay silent? What’s your price to stay passive? What’s your price not to speak out? Where do you just continue on a narrative, or shut down your own narrative in order to be invisible?
And you want to know those things, because that’s where courage will come in, that you’ll have to challenge those. So, why do people do it? The simplest reason is because the human animal, and we have compassion for this, ladies and gentlemen, we really do, the animal body that you are in fears death.
The ego self that you call by name, that your personality identifies as you who are here and occupying this space and time knows that your period of existence here comes to an end. And the fear of death, self-preservation, said the other way, is so strong that it often is very much buried down deep in the unconscious. And many of your Chief Features, your own personal Chief Features, whatever they are, are taken on, because they’re the primary strategy that you use to try and sidestep what you feel or believe might cause you the pain of death or bring you up against that threshold.
What we want you to understand is when that comes up, instead, those of you who really declare that you are positive thinkers, well, we want you to affirm this positive that your life has been a contribution. You will have succeeded, as Ralph Waldo Emerson said it. To know that if even one life has been breathed easier because you have lived.
So that’s another human being. It might even be the pets you take care of. But if you can, if you can give yourself that true honoring that you have made a difference in people’s lives, then you will have succeeded. And any fear that your personality might have can expand into your Essence’s embrace of life.
Because, in fact as you see down there at the bottom. You know, folks, if you really believe in reincarnation, and it’s more than just, say, lip service, or a passive statement, if you really believe, then you know Essence does not die. And even some memory of yourself does not die. So, in other words, as this Warrior year is saying from the Positive Pole, “Why not jump in, and with Passion Mode, make a difference as much as you can?” And it doesn’t have to be huge and earth-shattering, but it needs to be real.
So, in this final quarter, understand, this is going to be the onset of assessing where you can make more of a difference in the world. And really outside of yourself. Because most of you really do and have harvested who you are and know enough about yourself.
Alright, so, we’re gonna skip this, and we’re gonna go to this phrase here, because it’s really significant to talk about your inner psyche. Many of you are retired, some of you are still earners, others of you are living on a fixed income, some of you still work. Even those of you who aren’t working still face this dilemma, but we want to expand this dilemma to not just the United States, not just the Western world, but this entire era in the last 50 years from the 1950s onward where you guys have lived in a bubble of history that has been like no other before it. And with the growth of the consumer culture much of what has happened for all of you, is you have been told, “Yes, you can develop yourselves, you can earn money, you can, you know, be all that you can be, and then you can go out and buy all this stuff. You can acquire this status; you can go see these things. You can consume and engage yourself in experiences”, all of which, and none of which, are bad or good in themselves.
But now we come back to the brain, and you see that word there on the top line, Palliative. Many of you know that the word palliative means painkiller. And we’re talking about the tendency of consumerism to condition you to use buying or using money to engage yourself outside of yourself instead of be with yourself.
And yet, the byproduct has been for many of you is the other half of this image where you see this woman with her face, you know, scowling even, working over books with stacks of paper because of the amount of stress and energy and dedication to, quote, work she had to do to earn that money to then go spend it on those palliatives. And that’s the way; that’s the cycle of consumerism that has been implanted in the Western world for the last 70 years.
Now, many of you, we are glad to see, have taken the advice from this Channel over the last 10 years, and other Channel sources that says, getting rid of attachments means, in a lot of ways, confronting your conditioning. And so, one of the conditionings that you have is, how do you not just use your money, but how have you been conditioned to go get energy?
And therefore, have to translate it into something. Because many of you found your work lives really miserable. And then, there are many of you who are not even here in this group tonight. You know plenty of people in your life who have hated their jobs or struggled with making a livelihood where that stress level has carried over, and they may or may not have even had the payoff of being able to do buying come to realize that while consumer goods will be present for quite some time to come, people’s ability to get them will begin to shrink as inflation increase and the amount of income goes down.
And that means hardship, because when you’re getting into first and level, first and second level needs, housing, food, the ability to pay one’s basic necessities then it really raises not only personal anxieties, but that translates into social disruption
So. Here’s an interesting little blurb, and a little interesting exercise. Many of you know we talk about, through this Channel, the Four Realms. You’re all in the Terrestrial Realm, you’re here on Earth.
But the Techno-Realm is what we have been warning against, to a great extent, of taking over, and creating people to be the homo-automaton, rather than what we might call the homo-transcendicus, which is what we’re going to talk about in a few minutes, when we introduce you to the concept of Humane Beings.
If you understand the influence of these energies in your life, the Terrestrial meaning your work a day, your average love of the physical material life. Your interactions with technology, how much they govern you, how much you govern them or how much dependency you have on them. And how much you have let go of a lot of the basic human tactile functions. The Fairy energy is your belief in whimsy. It’s also that part of you that brings in luck and can respond to the help around you in the mystical sort of ways. And then the Angelic Realm is where you get your solace. Where you can help connect with Essence.
Bring all those aspects of your own life together and realize how they play a part in yourself. This is different from principles and values. This is assessing, if you will these concentric aspects of your own Soloverse, the universe of one that you are. And then really determine, is it worth it to you? Is it worth it to you? Because if it is, then say, “I can… I want to support it, and I’m willing to even make clear to myself what I’ll do to defend it.
So where do you go from here? Well, as a little bit of inspiration tonight we’re going to show you a website that we’ve launched. And a principle, a concept that we’ve launched, called the Humane Being. And we want you to understand that the Humane Being is not a super being. The Humane Being is a human being.
The reason we wanted to bring this up is because if you… many of you can see it’s www. humanesoul.com, if you ever care to go back and read some of our tangential information, because we wanted to create a portal to give you examples of high vibrational beings that are truly human beings just like yourselves but these happen to be fairly well-known individuals.
So we’re just going to scroll through these slowly to help you see that some of these are or were very famous. And some of these you may be surprised about.
But the humane beings are persons who decided to be truly themselves, and to then focus their gifts, their talents, their abilities into giving all that they could to the world, and to being an exemplar of those qualities. What also made them Humane Beings is not their fame, even though many of them here you’ll recognize achieve some of it.
But rather, that they all went through personal crucibles, tremendous hardships. They went up against a level of, or threshold within themselves, and said, “No matter what I’m going beyond fear.” And each and every one of them, then, presented themselves in ways that made them noteworthy, because their vibration was naturally high. They did not try and pretend anything. They did not try and polish themselves or create a brand in any way.
They literally just settled back into who they were and vehemently, vehemently, gave of themselves in his full power, in his full thrust, if you will as they could. And notice some of these people, even though they became famous, were quite average. Many of them quite challenged. Many of them got fame only because of what they did was so noticeable to others that they became attractors, to use the concept of the Law of Attraction and high vibration.
And so, we hope that some of you were looking at these people, and nodding, and going, “Oh, yeah!” And realizing that their contributions we’re not necessarily grandiose. Some of them are present, many of the people on this list, as you can see, are gone. Some of them are quite from the past, like Marcus Aurelius, but still had tremendous impact and still has resonation in the world.
And we offer these to you because it’s not about thinking about that you have to aspire, “Well, I could never be like that” and let self-deprecation self-deceive you into preserving your fear of death if you express yourself. Or that you would encounter pain by being who you truly were. Yes, you’d probably gain resistance out there in the world. That is a natural effect of the evolutionary beings that Humane Souls are. Because they become harbingers of the light. And that will often show others and in reflection against it and attract that.
But centering on yourself, bringing that love we have a full cup of who you are as a person will help you heal, withstand, and continue to move forward and to give.
So we hope that some of you, in looking at this list, have been surprised in some cases, have been curious in some cases. You see that they all come from all walks of life. They’ve done very many different things. And many of them continue to have an influence because they are living still. But all of them had principles and values that they knew and we’re clear about them.
Now, we also want to say that even though we put this list of about 30 people up here with images, so you could see how different many of them looked, that they came from different times in history, both sexes, males and females, people of different ages. We also have a list that we are offering you to add to if you wish.
So we put down, we Channeled about another 80, 85, and you are willing to submit people that you think belong here. And if you put in your message why you think. have they crossed those crucibles? What do they give? Because Steven, the Channel, could only respond to those that he has been aware of in his universe, and that we have been aware of.
So, we offer you this page and this website, Humane Soul, as a further inspirational anchor point for you to be able to resort back to, as you find more of yourself as a Humane Being, and how to have that emerge.
So we will have this embedded in the transcript, but this is a checklist of questions, because we mentioned the word rot earlier and shredding, especially under the Assimilative Scholarly period that’s coming up, and it begins a restructuring inside. Well, these are ways and things that… a checklist you can go through and literally help you review things.
And we love this picture, uh, because, you know, as we said here, and obviously we’re being playful a little bit, libraries are the original data centers. And you see the wise woman here, present with you, if you will, and now we’re going to offer a time for questions and answers.
Pt 2 . Question and Answer Period
Michael’s Consortium: So, go right ahead. All right. Russ Leiser, unmute yourself, please.
Russ: That’s way too much silence. I know there’s minds out there thinking.
I know some of you feel this, but I’m also doing exactly what Michael just offered us. I’m part of 3 political committees Mark Kelly, Jason Crowell here in Colorado, and a few others. I am disgusted with what our president and Washington DC is promoting and showing to the rest of the world.
And we have got to stop it and change it. I listened to Europe, England, and Canada today, all of it on different stations, BBC primarily. And they’re making Trump look like a buffoon. And that’s… I’ve served 10 presidents, and I’ve never, never had that before in my life. We… we’ve got to do something, and I don’t… I don’t need Michael’s advice to… to say, stand up or make your connections and do something, but… it’s right on the money. If we don’t pull this together we only have ourselves to blame.
Michael’s Consortium: Congratulations, Russ, and we honor your passion and exuberance to do this. You’re turning your Impatience into daring, and that’s a wonderful way to Channel these overlays. There’s no question and so, good show. And what we would say to all of you here, and what we would really encourage, is that, um…
Russ, you… we want to appoint you as one of the anchors, and folks, we want to make it so that most of you realize that you have a network here, if you want to utilize it of mutual encouragement, of mutual empowerment, of mutual support, of even saying, “Jesus, I’m scared to death, talk me through it”, that sort of thing. And so, thank you for that declaration.
King Russ that’s… that’s not only much appreciated, but it’s also an example of the kind of determination that really is being called for. And we can imagine that even though you’re angry, and that is the best way to use anger is through determination. You still feel alive. It may be motivated by you’re facing an enemy because that’s the Warrior, that is the Warrior way, if you will, that’s the cast of this year.
Warrior energy says, know who your enemies are. And ladies and gentlemen you will get no argument from the Tao or the spiritual side of yourself to pretend that there aren’t enemies on the physical plane. That’s why you are in this theater is to have those kinds of polarizations. And then to realize, are you going to work to advance your life, your principles, your way of being rather than just defend and or eliminate opposition.
And that’s really what’s being called up, and that’s why we suggested knowing your principles and your values, and said another way, just know, really, what you’re fighting for. Because that will give you more strength when you actually have to confront to eliminate the enemy, and that might mean fighting crazily.
So, all right, thank you, Russ. John was at the thrash pad up next, and then Jillian.
John: Okay, so a fairly esoteric question about karma here. Because of all the insane cruelty in my life, I’ve become quite disillusioned with Essence and exploring the nature of just why all this stuff has happened to me.
And I ran across an Edgar Cayce reading lately that mentioned ancestral karma. I guess the point he was getting across in his particular system was people who were born between 1945 and 1965 did so because they had the strength to be able to bear the burden of the ancestral karma of their six previous ancestors. Now, this is also in the Bible, where the sins of the fathers are visited upon the sons unto the seventh generation.
I’ve never really considered ancestral karma to be something that was in my life. But now it seems as though I don’t really identify with a lot of the stuff that’s happened to me, because it’s been so insanely cruel, as I say, so I’m just gonna hear this.
Does the Consortium have any ideas about ancestral karma?
Michael’s Consortium Yeah, thank you, John, that’s an excellent question. We have often talked about through this Channel, and through JP as well, at different times what we might have termed familial karma, and we would have talked about the fact that generally speaking, your primary imprinters, your parents, are the family of origin that you take on your first stages with.
But what Casey said, we agree with. That… and notice the timing of it. We have said that you are all in this period from the end of the Young Soul cycle into the beginning of the Mature Soul cycle. And as a collective one of the things that has to happen is a complete kind of reaming out, shaking out of so much of the old residue.
Some of it needs to be resolved, some of it needed to be re-experienced, because it motivated people to do daring and positive things, to right injustices, even though it was heavily tragic upon them like you. And that motivator then had one other option that you are saying that, and it really looks like it in your auric field, that you’ve learned the personal, and we’ll call it the Buddhaic lesson, of disidentification.
What was his name Miguel Ruiz on his Four Agreements said, “don’t take it personally”, was one of them. And of course, that’s easier said than done, but when the Buddha said learn to disidentify, and take it and realize it is not… what happened is… may have contributed to the way that you thought and became, and the pains you felt. But they are not you.
But that’s a decision that a person, especially an older soul, comes to because, generally speaking, that’s an awareness that can only happen in the late Mature, early, through Old Soul phase because you have a history that’s big enough, and not to mention, you’ve been spiritually adept enough to look at and read all this stuff to get the knowledge base to say, “Oh, this is a possibility”.
And so, yes, ancestral karma does exist. The Baby Boomers, Gen Xs, and even the Silent Generation, as they were called prior to the Baby Boomers, have been the three that came in to get put through the ring cycle of the washing machine.
Okay? And many of you are through that. Now, the inheritors of that are the Millennials, Gen Zs, and Gen Alphas. And they are in the midst of recapitulating what lessons they got from their direct ancestors, and they’re rejecting a lot of them. They’re doing things a lot differently. It’s unfortunate that the three generations that we just mentioned, the Gen Z, the silent baby boomers and the Gen Xers, can be really down on the millennials, Gen Zs, and Gen Alphas. And they may not have had the same kind of hardships you did.
But they’ve had a lot of hypocrisy, and a lot of overt control upon them, and then thrown into the midst of the world, say, “Here, figure it out”. And it’s like, you know, with little or no real orientation, except the consumerism that we talked about before. And so they are in a restructuring, rebuilding process.
But yes, John, we agree. Ancestral karma, you having disidentification, congratulations and good work. And it probably makes your personal life, for this period of your life a little lighter, and a bit more capable of having some joy.
Not reflecting backward, mind you, too often, but having some joy from this point forward. Because you’re not caught in that internal loop of self-karmic revisitation.
So. We hope that was a useful analysis for you. Good. Alright, thank you.
Jillian, and then Mike Huttinger.
Julian: I would also note that there’s never been a more pampered generation than boomers. And I’m part of it. Anyway I’m concerned about a lot of things as usual, but I’m curious about what Michael and the Consortium have to say about AI and data centers?
I’m concerned about the people who are creating them. They’re into eugenics and I’m wondering how all of this feeds into the great die-off we’ve been hearing about for years. But specifically, I’m curious about AI and data centers.
Michael’s Consortium: Okay, well, as always, thank you, dear Sage, you always ask pertinent and broad in probing questions, so we will attempt to break that into pieces, if you will. The first thing is AI and the people who own it. Because you’re right, we have come to the point to see that in no time in history have a…
We have coined a term that many of you have not heard us say, homo vampiricus and we are talking about the vampire class, that these souls are the epitome of parasitic. Absolute narcissistic consumers. And in that, they represent the hypothesis highest pinnacle of the Negative Pole of Young Soul acquisition and seeking of power.
Their use of AI snd the data centers they want to build out of that is for the acquisition of power. And the acquisition of power that they’re looking for is to continue to get as much surveillance on individual human beings, and enmasse of human beings, as to be able to impose controls on them at just about every level.
Now, AI in itself, believe it or not, is not that smart. Large language models have an enormous amount of data, and they have an enormous amount of relational network interfacing with them. And then, they create algorithms to build other associations. Then, of course, they have algorithms that go out and sample data from the populace, or from websites, or what have you. And then they have others, bots, as they’re then called to go plant information and data.
Now, what this does is it throws the human being off. And, in keeping human beings off-balance, off-centered, not knowing what to believe that allows for those persons, then, who are in control of those assets to continue to undermine the very systems that you guys rely upon to keep them in check.
And it can be argued, of course, that many of those systems are so owned and overrun by the wealth class, and what we call the Renfield class, which are the servitude, in servitude to the vampires. And many of you who have ever read, of course Bram Stoker’s Dracula know that Renfield was a lawyer that Dracula ensnared to do his bidding.
So you have the Renfield class, who is very much invested in keeping in service to the vampires, and also making sure that they are running the institutions for the benefit of them. And keeping the rest of you at bay as much as possible.
What’s interesting, of course, is now we’re using a metaphor here, is many of you are sharpening your own stakes, and you’re willing to get in and go vampire hunting. And, of course, that’s what’s necessary, and we realize it’s a little humorous to use these, but it’s really what, in a Warrior Year, you need to hear.
The data centers themselves are the means by which they can lay claim to a large piece of real estate. Control the local and regional regulation of resources in a way that then, through the so-called greater needs of the resource, be able to then have their final triggers over the on and off switch of water, power, and social services. And that’s really what the data centers are for, not… I mean, at this point, there’s enough of… there’s enough stuff going on, and they have enough computing power to do everything we just said.
Now, the only way that that is going to change is by the kind of citizen activism that you and others like you are doing, and also massive and real civil disobedience. Because as long as they are disrupted from breaking ground or it will come to a point in years to come that you will hear the cry of this class of the terrorists, right? And you’re seeing their pawn, Donald Trump, doing that now with every kind of consumer oriented or citizen oriented group that’s formulating, just getting them the label of terrorists.
Now, this is all psychologically done for the populace that supports him, to give them permission to vent their spleen, and to do… and yes, it’s part of the mass die-off, because shooting will ensue. Eventually.
Jillian: I mean, we’ve also got cameras all over. I’ve been told that I’m probably under surveillance, which is insane.
Michael’s Consortium: Yes it is.
Jillian: I’m a little old lady who shows up at protests and organizes civic engagement B ut yes, I have been told by someone who knows that I’m under surveillance. What the fuck?
Michael’s Consortium: Yes! It’s as the person, the people who’ve been talking about the nature of fascism, particularly Timothy, forgot his last name, thank you, Timothy Snyder has been saying those who don’t agree to be passive in advance, they don’t go along with it. They become the object of, gotta be quieted.
So you intimidate them you do the shadow fear infusion through surveillance and things like that. Do anything… do anything meaningful ever come about of it? Sometimes. But, to a great extent, it’s the… it’s the looming threat that, by the way, dear, we’re gonna give you… we’re gonna give you…
You know, we’re gonna pin a star on you, okay? And say that you, you get to qualify as one of the Humane Beings in our, in our viewpoint. Because you, you do stick your neck out, and you do go beyond yourself.
Okay. So, uh, yeah. Yeah. And notice you’re not famous. So you don’t, it’s not like you need, so folks were telling you, you don’t need to be on the list to strive to be a Humane Being because that’s what it is striving, going beyond your own limits and thresholds. So, did we answer most of, or parts of, your question?
Jillian: Oh, thank you. Yeah, and you did. It sounds like it’s worth continuing to push back against data centers.
Michael’s Consortium: Yes.
Jillian: It sounds like there are 3 Nexus points before the election, and I’m hoping that none of them add up to a coup. I do want to ask… So I’m not asking about that. If you want to talk about it, I’m fine. Why is eugenics come up so much now? I mean, it came up when I worked in Silicon Valley, but it’s, like, everywhere now.
Michael’s Consortium: Well, the reality is the concentration of wealth and self-aggrandizement and the belief, the self-anointed belief that they’re perfect because they have wealth, and if they must be the superior race, then everybody else is inferior.
And of course, if people are average looking or ugly or of color, well, they of course are inferior, let alone if they’re the working class and they are, the fact that they make the system, the working class actually makes the system run.
These people are so self-delusional, they think they could do without them. And that’s what they’re trying to do with the introduction of robotics. They want to replace human beings with robots to do everything that robots once, or human beings do. They want to replace the machine with robots and do everything with that robot.
Alright, so, with that finishing that statement, is that with you, the eugenics movement is about, well, we’ll just get rid of all the imperfects. Now, remember that we have been saying for 25, 30 years now that the great drop-off in population in the next 25 years, it was inevitable, in one way or the other.
How it comes about is actually complex. It’s going to be several factors. We already talked about the fact that there will be several more pandemics. Whether some of them will be engineered or natural, we are unclear how that will be. We don’t think they’re going to be engineered, but why? Because they don’t really want to spend that much money on it. But natural?
Because what is perfect actually is imperfect. Yes, we agree, uh, that that kind of philosophical, mindset is the absolutist mindset of the total self-involved, right? The narcissist. They have a definition of perfect. And we gave you some of their characteristics of what that means. So, then you have the desire to experiment on weaponry and to eliminate any kind of political oppositions.
So one of the things that has really been… and we’ll tell you, it’s actually kind of hopeful for many of you in this country and in other countries is that whether it’s against the current regime in Washington or Putin’s regime or in against Netanyahu and other more of the dictatorial classes a lot of his support is starting to fall off.
However, their loyal, fanatical ones are just looking for permission to start go killing their neighbors. And we hate to put it that bluntly, but that’s exactly what we see. And when that happens, many of you neighbors will say, enough, and you will start shooting back. And that is a body count. That is one of the many pieces of the body count.
Then, another piece of the body… of the thing is that humans have completely ignored the climate change crisis. And food insecurity in much of the developed world, as is already true in the underdeveloped world. We mean technological development, not their quality of humanness is increasing.
Even in this country, it is increasing. And when it hits a pinnacle in about three years, suddenly, the idea of food shortages that Americans have never, ever considered prior to The Great Depression will come back again. And there will be starvation again, even in this country. Yeah, and that will be a toll in and of itself, so.
So those are some of the things and eugenics is one of the many factors that they’re looking toward. And the idea that narcissists believe that there is a perfect race or a perfect person. And by the way, of course, that’s why the Epstein Group was allowed to exist. Because not only are they all wealthy and all feel themselves permission, but they tried to harvest young girls that they could turn into breeders. Not just carry out the excesses of their sexual perversions.
Thank you for the question. Mike Huttinger next, and then Kathryn.
Mike: Well, I’m under surveillance too, but it doesn’t have anything to do with politics. I know why it’s there. I don’t care. It doesn’t bother me a bit. So my question is on investments. If somebody else asked one of the Channels about investments, and I heard recently, it wasn’t you guys about the idea that certain investments can actually generate karma. My question is, how do we manage investments so that you have a reasonable amount of security and have it be high vibration?
Michael’s Consortium: Well, your investments, first of all, need to be direct. That is to say, you find companies and organizations and groups that you put money in directly. Get out of the stock market. It is an institution that is governed by the vampire class. It is an institution that is the controlling
Direct interactions with your investments are what has the potential of producing positive good, positive change. But if you’re gonna stick in the stock market all you gotta do to get… if you wanna be karmic and then be forced to come back into more of a post-apocalyptic world again and again is invest in weapons companies, invest in companies that are producing materials for AI or AI companies themselves. Anything having to do with mostly tech.
If you want to invest in in some things that are positively is help organize and build more local or regional power and water authorities and there are business models out there that can do it. They’re completely legitimate, completely… but take… but rest the control, out of using the financial stock, Neoliberal methodology. I mean, you can’t get a more metaphysical abstraction than stocks.
Literally. Because they don’t exist. The only thing you could get is one step higher than that, and that’s derivatives off of stocks. I mean, as far as abstractions that mean absolutely nothing in real terms. But because they keep inflating these, the amount of dollars that are generated in these fake billionaire, trillionaire stock investments. They can take that money and buy real things, particularly land, and resources, and politicians, and control. And strip and deprive others of being anything but either consumers or renters.
So, that would be our answer to you, Mike. Did that answer some of what you were saying?
Mike: Oh, and more than I expected. You guys are great. Thanks for the answer.
Michael’s Consortium: Oh, well, thank you. Thank you. You’re very welcome. Appreciate the feedback. All right, Kathyrn.
Kathryn: I was curious how you see the growing alliance of middle power countries led by Canada impacting what happens to the US and the world over the next year as they create a whole new methodology of moving forward. What becomes that reality?
Michael’s Consortium: Oh, that is… that’s gonna be one of the major parallel shifts that keeps this major reality out of apocalypse. Because there are still several deviations where the fascist vampire class wins. And it’s gonna be a highly destructive one.
There’s, there’s no question. I mean you can tabulate a lot of your, your worst again, post post-apocalyptic movies for that one, but the, the growing, and by the way, not just the Western European building of alliances, the extending of European human membership to Canada. And then again, it will be also to Ukraine as well. And eventually even to some of the, potentially, the North African states.
That is a Mature Soul more equilateral kind of alliance. But you know what? There’s actually a very interesting parallel Michael currency challenge that’s going on in the world called BRIC.
And many of you have heard of it. It’s Brazil, Russia, India, and China, creating their own BRIC mega
is not the United States. It’s the most monetized, but not the most powerful. It’s China. And then the economy that has the most skilled labor force after China is India. And then, the country that has the biggest amount of natural resources to feed that animal is Brazil.
And while they’re standing in the background, this is rotting the current underpinning of what’s left of NATO, and of what the American dollar-oriented Western economic hegemony has been. And it’s going to keep going, and BRIC will actually become stronger when Putin is out.
And Putin’s days are numbered. His health… it’s interesting. While he’s a lot more coherent than, Donald Diapers, he is still going into the realm of extreme paranoia, and he is losing his internal allies, and as powerful and as crazy as he is, and has his own, you know, private henchman, his former KGB arm to enforce all of this on him. Eventually, they’re gonna turn on him. As a matter of fact, if you recall, the general that he had killed last year in the so-called plane crash, not plane crash, assassination.
Because he had fears that he was going to lead an assassination attempt on him. So, anyway, it is a very good thing. Carney will come out of this as a really important major world leader. And I mean, he already has. He already has. And so will the prime ministers of many of the Scandinavian countries. They are really showing their spine, their background to both against the United States and Russia which is very useful for shoring up.
Because Macron has been, actually, a very cagey and skilled leader. You may not like all that he’s done, but he is taking care of business, including keeping the European Union strong when the Brits basically cut off their nose to spite their face with Brexit, and now are paying the price. What’s really humorous in that whole thing is Ireland is doing well enough on its own that the joke in Britain is, if they ever invade us, we’ll surrender. Because Britain has done so many things to self-sabotage. Why? Because they followed the same kind of Thatcherian neo-conservative market mentality that just ended up sinking them debt. So, anyway, did that answer your question?
Kathryn: What are the probabilities? What are the probabilities of the Canadian-European alliance paradigm leading us forward as opposed to falling into the United States destruction of…
Michael’s Consortium: Yeah, right, right now it’s, it’s about 60 40 for them so it is on the beneficial level but nonetheless, 40% isn’t.
Kathryn: Okay thank you.
Sarah: Michael John has been waiting patiently.
Michael’s Consortium: Okay. You’re very welcome, Kathryn. All right. And John again, and then Phil.
John: Okay. The mention of AI reminded me of an experiment I did a couple of months ago where I asked Grok to assimilate all of the published Michael teachings, and then I asked him a series of questions. And I took the questions and answers, and I think I sent them to you Steve, and I sent them to JP. And JP got back to me unexpectedly with the answer that the Michaels thought they were absolutely congruent with their teachings and said that they didn’t mind the fact that it was an AI that did it. They were right on. Ha! Go figure.
Michael’s Consortium: Yeah, no, I mean, remember, it’s a large… what a large language model is, is it reads essentially everything about a subject, categorizes it, classifies it, integrates it. And then looks at all the information within it for relational directives, right? And so, when you ask a question of it, it’s got all the data in there, and it’s going through and using all those markers.
As well as all that historic information and spits out. But it’s not necessarily intelligent, nor is it necessarily specific in a way that… but for many people, of course it could be enough of a reflection that they go, “Oh my god, that really resonates”, and that’s great, because that was the purpose of our material in the first place. S
Stephen’s cards, the motivation cards, is essentially our attempt to construct a miniature language model that when one does a random acquisition of the cards, you’re getting that kind of a potential feedback based on not just the absolute definitions of the terms, but the extrapolations of what they mean.
John: Yeah, I told JP that she shouldn’t worry about her job, because, um, large language models can’t do Overleaves, so…
Michael’s Consortium: Right, exactly, exactly. Thank you, John. Thank you for… that is a very big concern, though, about workers across the world. Workers are worried about losing their jobs to automation, right? Anyway. All right. So, Phil, you’re up next.
Phil: Alright. My question is also about AI. There’s been a lot of print lately about how it broke into this company’s closed system and that once AI learns to train its next successor that this is going to be a very dangerous thing. I’m just wondering if the consortium, what you’re thinking is on that.
Michael’s Consortium: Sure. John, could we ask you to mute yourself, if you would, by the way? No worries. Sure, we agree. That the major problem with human beings throughout history. They create something, they let it loose, and it gets away from them
Right? Now, Jillian asked a question earlier about data centers. Now, the reason that data centers are dangerous is because they give these big Ais hotel complexes to live in. Right? And then, once they do what they… what happened as you saw, Phil, that is to say escaping their legal, ethical parameters, and go out stealing, as it were Industrial espionage, but only with ones and zeros.
When it does that, and it trains itself where we can’t follow it anymore. And yet we’ve turned over, and given permission and the mechanical access to all of these electrical devices to them, then, yeah, then the, the ability to wreak havoc on us, it becomes, you know, really probable.
And we think that it is likely that there will be a period of that kind of event horizon that’ll be crossed, and you will see some levels of it.
The thing that we will tell you, the greatest thing that you honestly have to worry about is when… and it’s happening right now, but luckily it’s such a high price point that most people can’t afford it, is your own home robot. For those of you who ever saw the Will… Will Smith movie, iRobot, that is a very plausible scenario about a time and history where robots are mass produced, and they are sold to people as labor saving servants, but they’re in your house. And they can be made to actually, ingratiate and socially engineer you to feel like they’re your dog or your cat. You’ll start talking to them, but only this thing can talk back.
And it begins to learn your habits. And instead of going, meow, or, you know, curling up on your bed, it can start making you feel really comfortable by saying, “Oh, would you like me to draw your bath, or turn down the bed, or what would you like for dinner tonight?” and you start feeling like, “God, this thing is my buddy”. A
And it ingratiates itself such that all it would take, then, is a planet-wide literally unified ending of a data set, or algorithm, or if… let’s say it is a terrorist model, rather than done by the upper owners themselves get in and wreak havoc on people. It’s when robots get the programming directly from AI because they have mechanical arms and legs. Then you can really start to worry about the potential for more catastrophic problems.
Phil: Well, also, like, drones, which they could get control of.
Michael’s Consortium: Oh yeah. Oh yeah, yeah. Drones, you know, crashing drones into people, or people’s houses, or arming them with, you know, energy weapons, which already do exist let alone the fact that , you’ve heard Amazon threaten slash promise to use drones as a substitute for delivering their packages and there goes a huge… that’s been one of the only areas where you’ve actually had, what do you call it, job growth, is deliveries for these major sales online sales companies.
So, FedEx and, uh, yeah, ICE has, as John just pointed out, ICE has just ordered a bunch of these robotic attack dogs. And a person can’t blast a robot, necessarily, in the head, or hit it in the head or fend it off with mace, or any of those kind of things that you might think you could defend yourself against. And it could just tackle you and take whatever you’ve got to dish out.

So Phil, did we answer your question?
Phil: Yeah, too much.
Michael’s Consortium: Okay, well, good. So, you know what? Don’t be scared about it, and don’t buy a house robot.
Phil: Don’t buy it. Yes. Good point.
Michael’s Consortium: Okay? And go to… go to a store to buy stuff instead of use Amazon. The more that you guys can… granted you have the systems have to be changed, but the more that you all don’t participate in them the more feelings of power and potency you have as individuals. And that will translate into other areas of your life.
But if you participate that subtle, passive, well, I guess I have to, because it’s the only way kind of mentality it’s like jumping in a river and saying, “Oh, well, I’ll just stay along the shoreline.” especially while the current is taking you downstream. Still going downstream.
