Excerpt from Michael Speaks: May 2005

MEntity:

Those we call our “students” are wholly limited to a group of 12 Cadres; an Energy Ring. We have approximately 100,000 students.

This is not to say that others outside of our Agreements will not become students, but we speak of those with whom we have original [agreements].

...

Within all of this daunting information, it can safely be said that if you are studying our teaching, you are within the Cadres and Entities of the same Energy Ring, even if that Energy Ring is numbered differently through our different channels.

Through this channel, we would call your Ring Number 2, Harmony 1.

...

We are from Energy Ring 1, Cadre 11, Entity 4, Harmony 1.

We are part of the same “Sphere” as our students.

We are from Sphere 2.

The previous Sphere 1 (12 Energy Rings) were part of what has come to be known as “Lemurians” or those less-physically dense, though they were still of “human” consciousness.
