Reader Reviews
While I really enjoyed this book, and found much of it insightful, I also found it interesting how much of it overlaps a previous channeled system that I became only recently acquainted with. The "Michael Teachings" have been around for quite a while, and a Google search will yield many details about them. Several of the categories and some of the concepts in this book are identical: The concept of Soul Ages is present in both, and categories such as spiritualist, helper (servant), conceit (arrogance), obstinacy (stubbornness), insatiability (greed) will seem familiar to anyone who has investigated the Michael Teachings. While the Michael Teachings uses a system of seven categories, the Instruction uses a system of ten. While it could be derivative, I also entertain the possibility that on the Causal Plane Ainslie MacLeod's guides and the Michael entity do lunches to compare notes (or whatever one does on the Causal Plane.) Still there is much that's different here, and certainly much that's new and highly useful. My only lingering frustration is that--as multiple people channel Michael, while only Ainslie MacLeod has channelled this system--if you aren't quite sure by the end into exactly which categories you fall in the Instruction you currently have to pay a significant $540 for three sessions to find where exactly you fall in this system, whereas in the Michael Teachings you can have a chart made up for you for $35-$40. True, you get a lot of extra guidance and insight from those sessions--so they may be worth it overall--but some of us just want to know the categories and let our own self-insight take us the rest of the way. While there's a lot of talk in this book about the validity of using meditation to have your guides show you where you fall, it isn't as easy as it sounds, and many people will come away still scratching their heads as to what their mission really is. So if you feel you have enough clarity to know instinctively what categories you fall into I highly recommend this book, but if your sense about your life is still a little cloudy, if you buy this book be prepared to get out your credit card. For books with more information about the Michael Teachings I recommend: The Journey of Your Soul: A Channel Explores Channeling and the Michael Teachings The Michael Handbook: A Channeled System for Self Understanding The World According to Michael: An Old Soul's Guide to the Universe (A Michael Book)
