Chat put it that we reveal ourselves. (1) Michael also said that, in restoring my memory, he’s activating already-existing faculties. (2) We’re in a process of revealing what is already here.
I call the process “emergence” because that’s what the breakthrough process feels like and usually produces. There’s more of “me” present now. I’ve “arrived.” I’m “here.” I’ve “emerged.”
I’m restored to conscious awareness. And then it leaves. And then it returns. And then it leaves.
What Michael once said to me is applicable here if we substitute “conscious awareness” for “love”:
Archangel Michael: You have experienced, progressively, periods of unity, of transformative love, of ecstasy, of bliss that you feel (and I emphasize feel) come and go.
But every time, you have had this experience it has edged you up a level. So that now you say to me, “Michael, I feel like I have a new baseline. I have a new foundation of happiness.”
But you also have a new foundation of knowingness, of understanding, of wisdom, of humility, of tolerance, of kindness. This has all been bringing you to an expanded sense of self and an expanded sense of not only how we operate but how the collective operates. (3)
That is a perfect definition of emergence. (4) Classical enlightenment theory did not discuss the co-creative process enlightenment is. But right here, in the passage just quoted, we have Michael acknowledging it. Or in this passage:
Archangel Michael: What you have seen is that you have been given bite-sized pieces of energy, of energy bumps, of input of what you can digest and handle and truly bring to fruition. If you are in the process of expansion, you don’t go from Grade 3 to a PhD in a week. (5)
“You have been given.” I rest my case.
Where before it was felt that we did our best and then the Divine stepped in, (6) well, here’s the ones who step in describing the basis for their decision to give us the experience now, how much, etc.
Factory Reset (I name my experiences) is a good example of me screaming my head off that I needed more of myself present … OK, OK, a bigger brain … to do the work I’m doing … and the answer came the next day. (7)
Special delivery. I began vomiting and I continued and continued. I couldn’t even keep water down. And then I slept off and on (mostly on) for the next four and a half days.
What I only remembered afterward but now do remember clearly was that halfway through – around April 11, 2026 – I was awake in a lucid dream and suddenly a metal plate like a breastplate fell away from me. I heard it clang as it hit the ground.
I said to myself, “What was that?” And a voice inside said, “Your character armor.”
Wilhelm Reich talked of “character armor.” It’s the mix of winning strategies, core issues, unpaid debts, and all the other baggage we carry around and live inside, which is triggered when we feel ourselves under attack.
It fell to the ground. Leaving me feeling … normal. Again. Something I hadn’t felt since age seven.
Just because I wasn’t left swinging from the chandeliers, don’t overlook the significance to the Humpty Dumpty Man (me) (8) in his own process of emergence. To arrive back at normality from being abnormal (dissociated) most of my life makes me weep with relief.
Emergence is like that. Once we’ve emerged – say, from a lie, an exaggeration, or a misdirection – we feel relief.
As an aside, telling the truth is like that as well. The truth will set you free? Literally true. That was the whole basis of therapeutic listening: When the speaker spoke the truth, that truth would set them free.
We could know if we were headed in the right direction by whether the speaker was experiencing continuing relief or not. Not? Go another way.
If I allow myself to think more generally, as Chat is inviting me to do, then I’d mention the direction these mechanisms are pointing in. The truth sets us free, yes? Well, we like being free, right? So we tell the truth.
But the truth also takes us closer and closer to The Truth. The bias of this action is towards knowledge of God, who is the only Truth of Reality.
Our very process of emergence has a bias towards God-Knowledge. Even just considered logically, if God is all there is, then we must be God. And, if more and more of us emerges, we move closer to solving what Chat called “the ancient mystery” – who we are. (9)
If you woke up tomorrow and discovered that you were God, why, that would be a memorable, remarkable day, would it not?
You are God … so have a memorable, remarkable day!
(Just kidding!)
But I’m not kidding when I say that, when one of us realizes we are God, God meets God. And for that meeting was all of this created….
Discovering who we are is the purpose of life.
It can get a bit noisy at times. Not to worry: It’s just you emerging.

(2) Archangel Michael: Your memory is being dropped in, literally. Drop by drop by drop. So that you are not overwhelmed. …
At the same time, we are also, shall we say, not dropping in, but activating [certain areas?] within your very enlarged field.

This passage has additional interest to me because I have no direct acknowledgment of this: “You have experienced, progressively, periods of … ecstasy.” Visits to a consciousness state do not come with signposts: Welcome to the Twelfth Dimension. But that is where ecstasy is to be found. I’m always happy to have my experience validated. (A notary public can’t do it.) Otherwise I’d have no idea what is happening or what to make of it all. Or whether I’m sane or delusional.
