0217 Wandering Through a Pandemic
0217 Wandering Through a Pandemic
Private Live Chat
16th February, 2021
NOTE FROM CONNOR: This session took place directly after the "Lemurian Prologue" session with Petra, hence the wording of the opening dialogue.
MEntity: Hello. We are still here. We can continue.
Connor: Hello again, Michael. Long time no see! lol
Let’s talk about the networked Coastal Civilizations from one million years ago.
In Oscar’s past life project, you described how Humans after the 3rd Intervention developed a sort of policing force to enforce strict control of food supplies. Over time, this grew intolerable, sparking revolts among various tribes. In a twist of irony, the “food police” were overthrown and eaten, and a wave of cannibalism began to spread throughout Africa.
These revolts somehow led to the formation of the network of Coastal Civilizations from 1,000,000 BCE. You said, “Civilization at that point had come quite similarly to what you would recognize as your current civilization, except in that there were no synthetic materials to the extent that your world sees now. However, the use of electricity, broadcasting, and even a kind of "internet" was in place, though only in within more "urban" areas. Transportation included short flights, public buses, and public courier system that acted as a means of exchange. Cities were sprawling for thousands of miles, instead of up.”
You also said, “These networks were very much modeled after what might be seen as a "chakra" system and its meridians. This would usually show up as the various centers along the coastline "specializing" in various relevant contributions to the whole, with a "spiritual center" a "sexual center" an "entertainment/communications center," etc., and those who were skilled in those contributions, naturally, would be at the core of those, traveling to the other centers for needs beyond their skills.”
Eventually, the Coastal Civilizations succumbed to a Pandemic which nearly extinguished the Human population. Today I would like to get a ground-view perspective of that story, if possible, while also learning more about the Coastal Civilizations themselves.
Question ONE: I would like to know more about the origins of the Coastal Civilizations. How did Humans go from eating the Food Police to establishing our first global civilization? The outbreak of cannibalism must have been dealt with in some way.
Question TWO: You said the Coastal Civilizations had a kind of “internet” in place. Can you please elaborate on what this ancient “internet” was and how it worked?
Question THREE: Please describe my experience of the 1,000,000 BCE Pandemic. Can you tell me about the specific city/civilization my Personality at the time called home, including which Chakra it emphasized? How did my Personality at the time contribute to that society?
Question FOUR: What happened to that Personality when the Pandemic struck?
MEntity:
In response to ONE: In the same way that mild-mannered and passive Humans can give way to a raging mob taking the U.S. Capitol, so can a raging mob of cannibals give way to more mild-mannered and civilized Humans. Extremes in Sentience cannot be sustained. Cannibalism simply died off as it is not inherently natural for Humans to be cannibals.
It was gross.
Connor: LOL
I agree. And you get extra points for referencing current events.
MEntity: In response to TWO: Data was easily transmitted using what we think are familiar radio signals, but using an elaborate kind of binary system that altered the waves to be sent and received as data that would be instantly translated into information by those trained to receive that data. There were no interfaces to receive sound and image, but communication, sharing information, and collaborative research using this system were quite common.
Connor: Ah, it sounds almost like a telegram system. Quite effective, but Morse Code would be incomprehensible to an untrained person.
MEntity:
It was more elaborate and complex than Morse Code, but the comparison is fair.
In response to THREE: Your Essence gravitated to the 5th Chakra that would have been situated near what is now known as Morocco. Your Essence also gravitated toward the 7th Chakra around Egypt. Life in the 5th Chakra was, in fact, as a trained receiver and broadcaster of the "internet" described above. Life in the 7th Chakra was one of indulgence as a sort of royalty and that life was spent, literally, wandering and simply "hanging out" in a state of Flow. You were high most of the time.
Connor: HAHA I love it!
MEntity: We will conclude here for today. Elaboration can be explored in further exchanges. Good day to each of you. Goodbye, for now.
Connor: Thank you so very much, Michael and Troy!
PetraB: Thank You for the invitation, Michael, Troy and Connor!

POF 17th February, 2021
MEntity: Hello to each of you. We are here, now. We can begin.
Connor: Hello again, my beautiful disembodied friends.
Yesterday, I asked you about the networked Coastal Civilizations from one million years ago, and I want to follow up on that while it is still ‘fresh.’
When describing two of my past lives from this time period, you said, “Your Essence gravitated to the 5th Chakra that would have been situated near what is now known as Morocco. Your Essence also gravitated toward the 7th Chakra around Egypt. Life in the 5th Chakra was, in fact, as a trained receiver and broadcaster of the "internet" described above. Life in the 7th Chakra was one of indulgence as a sort of royalty and that life was spent, literally, wandering and simply "hanging out" in a state of Flow. You were high most of the time.”
We did not have time to explore how either of these lifetimes experienced the 1,000,000 BCE Pandemic, so you invited me to seek elaboration in future exchanges, which brings us to today.
Question ONE: Can you describe how I experienced the 1,000,000 BCE Pandemic which drove Humans to the brink of extinction? Were either of the two lifetimes you described above involved, or was it a different lifetime?
Question TWO: This is sort of a ‘bonus question’ which you might not have time to address, but if time remains, can you describe how YOU experienced this Pandemic? You were there, too, after all.
MEntity:
In response to ONE: The lifetime described as part of the "7th Chakra" territories was affected. This personality had already begun to feel the effects early in life, which is what prompted the escape into altered states and the lack of direction. All that mattered was slowly disintegrating over the years as more died. The weight of hopelessness was devastating. "You" decided to wander aimlessly and to help anyone you could help, but it was hard to find people, let alone those who could be helped. The indulgence experienced in that life was purely for distraction and comfort and came when returning home from long bouts of wandering.
Much like someone who might find an abandoned mansion in an apocalypse or find themselves wandering through a shopping mall with no more people or laws.
You died in that life assuming you were the last of humans.
Connor: Did I die from the disease? It sounds like I died after.
MEntity:
We do not think you died from the disease.
We see death from an infection after suffering a wound to the leg.
Connor: Okay, thank you. Please continue to your experience of this event.
MEntity: In response to TWO: During this pandemic, our entity had 902 fragments extant. We all died from the pandemic. There are some collective events experienced by entity members that can leave the entity traumatized. This was one of them for us. Collective wounding can happen on the scale of all of humanity or as small as an Entity. We will define Collective Wounding as an event that affects such a high proportion of the population that the effects "spread" to affect everyone in that group. Healing takes time and lifetimes.

Thank you, Michael and Troy, for delivering yet another outstanding addition to Our Origins!
I've wanted to ask about the Coastal Civilizations and Pandemic for a while, and now that we are in the middle of our own pandemic, I knew it was time to explore 1,000,000 BCE. We got a nice look at what sort of "internet" these Coastal Civilizations used, although I am still curious about how they achieved their "short flights." Untethered kites, perhaps? Like what we see later in Atlantis? This 1,000,000 BCE time period is not very well explored, but we do have enough to create a decent chapter for it in Our Origins. If others ask about their own past lives, we will inevitably learn more.
This is the first time Michael has highlighted specific Coastal Civilization cities and their chakric emphases. They have said these civilizations were present on the coastlines of every continent (although they never mentioned Antarctica), so I don't think there were just seven chakric "cities" on the whole planet. I think each coastline/region had its own set of seven interwoven "city centers," so the "7th Chakra City" in Egypt might not necessarily be the only "7th Chakra City" on Earth. I would think it to be inconvenient if you had to change or journey across entire continents every time you needed to travel to a different city to make use of its services.
I was 'glad' the wandering Egyptian lifetime was the one who experienced the Pandemic, because I wanted to follow up on that past life. I figured I would do that in another session, but instead, I got my desired glimpse today. I have always resonated with the post-apocalyptic landscape of a silent, abandoned city whenever I see one on TV. Parts of the movie "I Am Legend" are a perfect example of what I am talking about: one person (played by Will Smith) wandering around an empty city to survive, but also with odd routines to stave off loneliness, like assigning personalities to store mannequins and having daily conversations with them. I didn't care as much about the central plotline of I Am Legend, but the parts which focus on the protagonist's way of life in such a strange world were fascinating to me.
During the early months of lockdown, up until the George Floyd protests, I got to experience an eerily quiet Philly. Even Broad Street was quiet. I doubt it will ever be that quiet again while I am alive.
The "5th Chakra City" in Morocco was quite close to where, much later, Atlantis's North African city was located. Soon, I hope to be able to explore any possible connections between early Atlantis and these Coastal Civilizations.
The 'wandering' theme of my stoned Egyptian lifetime is consistent with what Michael described to Oscar in his past lives project. If you check out the 6th Level of Oscar's Baby Soul Age, you'll find Michael describing Oscar's lifetimes from the aftermath of this Pandemic, and all of them were wandering, too. I think "wandering" is something all of us, to some extent, were doing at the time. My past life's death seemed a bit sad, at first, thinking there was no one else left. However, after this Personality died, I would imagine they quickly learned otherwise, and that must have been a happy moment.
I am also glad Michael had the opportunity to share a tiny bit of their own experience. We know surprisingly little about their own journey through this Grand Cycle, and that is a topic which could always use some fleshing out. This is another good piece of that story. Michael said this experience was "one" of their instances of Entity-wide trauma, and it would be interesting to explore what the others were.
Considering how I died quite horribly during the Culling, I died during the 75,000 BCE Mining Incident, and I somewhat hilariously drowned in the Great Flood, I honestly did not expect to have survived this Pandemic. Imagine my surprise! Michael was not so 'lucky.' More than 900 extant fragments, and not a single survivor. This was truly an apocalyptic pandemic, and we will be exploring it soon in Our Origins.
