0605 Family cruise

This material was received in a private session on June 5, 2025

MEntity: Hello to you, Janet. We are here, now. We can begin.

Janet:

Good morning, Michael.

I just returned from a 10-night cruise with visits to Rome on either side. You suggested I note dream activity related to places visited, but I slept poorly, with only one night of dream activity that I recorded, but I think it was related to review rather than the trip. I may ask about that in the future. 

During my trip I tried to be observant of resonance with any place visited, but the only major resonance occurred at Olympia, which I have visited before and felt similar resonance. You said the Personality of “my” past life as a Greek fisherman at the time of Christ had visited there. I’m curious as to whether he ever participated in the Olympics there, but I’d also like to know if my Essence has other connections with that region. 

Then, I felt some slight resonance on Palatine hill at the Roman Forum in Rome, and also in Catania. I felt nothing in Valletta, but only passed on the outskirts while on an excursion. Will you please tell me something of lifetimes with connections to those locations?

MEntity:

First, we will say that resonance can be difficult to note or allow or sense when visiting a place intentionally. Expectations, schedules, physical activity, plans, the current life, weather, travel conditions, etc. all contribute to obstacles to resonance in some cases. Resonance often happens spontaneously and unexpectedly, so when aimed for as a conscious intention, it can be challenging. 

Resonance to a location may require visual or sensory triggers that were not accessed, such as a distinct alleyway, or a corner, or a building, or how the breeze and scent of the land hit you, etc. Sometimes being within proximity is not enough. We share this not to say that you missed any resonance, but to help in any future intentional explorations.

Janet: Oh yes, I’ve noted when it hits unexpectedly. I might say that about Olympia except that I’ve felt it there before. 

MEntity:

Yes, as it is consciously registered, it may be easier to recover in repeated visits.

Regarding the fisherman: we do not see that he participated directly in the Olympic Games, but he did travel to Olympia during festivals. He was not a competitor, but a part of the community of tradesmen and fishermen who provided goods and services to the influx of visitors and competitors. Olympia also holds additional symbolic significance for your Essence because of its being the center of devotion, ritual, and competition, all of which were part of your Essence's own exploration of the balance between personal excellence and collective purpose.

Janet: I would go back there for a third visit. It just felt right. 

MEntity:

Regarding Palatine Hill and Roman Forum, we think the vague resonance may have come from a life in 1st Century CE that was connected to the world of governance and social order during the Imperial period. This was not a lifetime of high authority, but as a beurocratic clerk and minor scribe in service to one of the patrician families. His life was one of administrative tasks, record-keeping, correspondence, exploring themes of personal dignity amidst political complexity and class stratification. The resonance you felt may have been a slight echo of when this personality navigated personal ethics and social hierarchies.

NOTE: as we explore past lives with you, we may "zoom in" to find lifetimes that were missed in the broader count and structure of lives. 

As for Catania, there was a lifetime as a craftsman and builder during the Norman period around the 11th Century CE. He specialized in carving volcanic stone, but his life was marked by a blend of devotion to his craft and a spiritual connection to the power of the volcano, itself. He lived in contemplative solace and awe of the volcano, but also felt trapped and incapable of ever leaving or traveling. He died from a lung condition that took his life over a series of months.

We see no significant presence of your Essence in Valletta.

Janet:

OK. Thank you!

Given that my Essence has had so many lifetimes, and the presence of parallels in all of them, are there any places on earth currently that my Essence has not lived in nor spent significant time in? 

MEntity:  Another note: We are also learning that with your current physical proximity to locations where Essence once may have been anchored in a body, we find it easier to access obscured or blocked or missed lifetimes that were not specifically identified in our broader count and path of incarnations.

Janet: That makes sense.

MEntity: Places that may not be registered as significant in any or in most of your variations of incarnation might be: Arctic and Antarctic, even if they were accessed in brief exploration; the deep Amazonian interior, or the harshest stretches of the Sahara Desert. There are specific geographical locations across the planet that could be named, such as Valletta, but that would be a laborious task that we cannot focus on at the moment. We can look at the planet as having regions where one has most incarnated vs regions where one has least or never incarnated. In that case, we can say that your Essence has never or rarely incarnated in the Polar Regions, the Deep Amazon Basin, Interior Sahara Desert, Remote Pacific Islands, Himalayan Highlands.

Janet:

Fair enough. 

My grandkids were with me on this trip. Riley and Everett, at 7 and 5, have some grievances with each other on occasion but they seem unusually connected and affectionate with each other much of the time. Perhaps this is partially due to the nearness of their ages, but I wonder if perhaps it’s also due to past Essence connections. I had a thought that Riley is part of the reason Everett’s Essence opted into birth after the Sage who had been planning a birth into this family opted out. Please comment on this. 

MEntity: Your observation is valid. Though they will likely have their current Personalities go through the usual ups and downs of getting to know each other, grow close, part, etc. they are old friends in Essence.

Janet: Do you have anything else to say about this trip? It was exhausting but nice to spend time with family this way. Still, not as good a ship sailing experience as the cruises I took last year. 

MEntity: Regarding the trip as a whole, while it may not have felt as fulfilling or enjoyable as previous voyages, its value rests in its role as a gathering of Essence connections. The experience itself could be seen as a shared tapestry of various personal states of being while balancing collective resonance. Despite exhaustion, just the act of coming together, moving through new landscapes, sharing in simple wonders of each day seems to have quietly reinforced bonds that will endure far beyond the cruise. 

Janet:

Thank you Michael. I know we are out of time. 

Have a good “day”!

MEntity:

It is not uncommon for the body and Personality to feel a kind of anticlimax after such a trip, particularly when in contrast to past experiences. But this may be because energy was invested more in the weaving of relationships and resonance among you rather than in the environment or external experiences of the cruise. We think more benefit from this trip may reveal itself over time.

Good day to you. Goodbye, for now.
