Before turning to the "sujet du jour" [... which in Chinese means "broken chopsticks"] a reader asked a few EXCELLENT questions in the comments, a post or two back.
=====================================================

"...some humans incarnated to play the role of the hidden controlling powers, some incarnated to play the role of their subordinates and others as participants and observers. These roles are included in the hierarchy of the plan for The Shift."

World wars, serial killers, Illuminati, dictators, ...etc, where do they come from? They are parts of the 'PLAN". Before we incarnate, we enroll to play a part in the PLAN, be it a German (actually Austrian) dictator or a serial killer. And each of us has his own guides and guardians to help us adhere to our life plans (or script).

When we die and attend the life review, we shall look at how we fare against our life plan. (In case of a serial killer: Hey, you were supposed to kill 37, but you missed two kids. Looks like you need to go back and kill 4 more in the next life to make up.)

1. Is my understanding correct?
2. If so, does it mean no matter we try, success or failure depends on whether our endeavour is part of the Plan?
3. Does it mean "Free Will" doesn't really matter or exist?

Respondeth The Committee:

​No human attends a life review, as this word of English is understood. This process is optional and conducted by the soul of the former human. Allow us a moment to explain why we emphasize this word of otherwise not huge importance. 

If the one of you had worked for ten years to save every shilling you could —scrimping to the point of eating thrown away food, sleeping in a tent or many such things commonly considered hardships, for the purpose of accumulating money; your efforts aimed at a target of buying for cash a very important thing once your goal is reached. Would you casually extend the date to receive the thing you so wanted, after you have paid for it, then schedule a visit with this expensive thing possibly a few days later, then attend the meeting? This human is as rare as a toothed hen, as many of you might say. Your decision to incarnate and journey across Earth as a human is the equivalent of a ten-year purchase plan⁹. All souls eagerly conduct this review, with the help, assistance, love and affection of your Guardian Angel Guides and many other souls.

You shall compare your plan to your experience, but we say rare is it to conduct this review in a way that analyses how did a soul fare. Much more emphasis is given to the richness of experiences and understanding gained. If these result from a scheduled phase, stage, passage or encounter that is positive but what the soul learns and feels is vastly more important than a comparison of budget to actual. 

To the questions:

1. This view is human, and suggests a life plan might, could or should be a continuation of the previous. No time or calendar exists for a soul. To plan another incarnation to follow one where the two are closely occurring along the human Earth surface calendar? This is rare. The review is not to see what was accomplished versus the plan, but far more along the lines of what was gained, plan be damned.
2. All human life incarnations are a success. No exceptions.
3. Free will is the foundation of your soul's existence and also upon Earth for all of you.

=====================================================
On a friendly note, the comments & discussion heated up a bit recently. I am the biggest believer in free speech, but I am not a fan of insults, whether one pays to be maligned OR purchases a spot to hand 'em out. 

A country is a myriad mixture of people, with certain homogeneous traits forming a national or regional identity, however the closer one looks the better one shall see the complex individualism of every human being. To use salty language to just dismiss a country whilst ignoring that fact (...the fact offered in the latter half of the preceding sentence) leads not forward. 
=====================================================
On to the topic of the day:

​Buzzing at the moment with mucho speculation about an imminent arrest, very recent and current news reports even say Former US President Trump himself expects to be taken into custody in a few days.

I nearly always draw blanks on questions of criminality, innocence, guilt and who did it. Sometimes background information questions about criminal trends or conspiracies are answered by The Committee, but never about specific perpetrator(s).

This time, The Committee is responding.

Q:          Esteemed Committee, is Donald Trump going to be arrested any time soon and by whom?
C:          If it occurs, the federal authorities will have to be involved.

Q:          Okay, that answer speaks to the one & very thing everybody wants from a medium, accurate predictions because the future is always decided, it’s but a matter of time for us to discover what is set in stone. Right?
C:          Liquid stone, perhaps. The decision is not yet made.

Q:          How are the arresting authorities going to get around a President’s protection?
C:          Very carefully. If the former USA President is to be criminally charged with an offense, he will be escorted by the USA’s Secret Service to the place where the paperwork must be processed, bail posted if required and then Mr. Trump will be released. This will occur away from public eyes and away from the press, purely for safety reasons. The Secret Service would not allow it otherwise.

Q:          The rumors surround a former adult actress who was paid for a non-disclosure agreement when Trump was running for office. That's common, done all the time. The rumors say the woman was forced or threatened by Donald Trump?
C:          No.     
 
Q:          Is this just more political persecution?
C:          Yes.

Q:          How much HCP handiwork is behind this?
C:          Such people are the controllers; they want Donald Trump to return to the White House less than anybody.

Q:          As an American, this smells like Banana Republic behavior.
C:          It is. When human power & authority, thus pride and money, are perceived threatened, humans who hold power exercise it to protect.

Q:          Is this being done to harm President Trump’s likelihood of being re-elected, or to distract people, or both?
C:          Both.

Q:          Will it be effective? Will either rumors or criminal proceedings reduce Trump’s chances?
C:          No, however Trump’s political opposition focuses too much on their perceived support and insufficiently on the opposition. Overcoming an adversary requires understanding motivations and methods, one's own and of rivals. Adversaries of Trump and of the political party he leads have so far done insufficient examination. 

Q:          What benefit will distraction provide?
C:          Prevent current amounts or potentially increasing levels of attention from being given to Joe and Hunter Biden, and to make them both appear morally superior, by comparison. 

I received this wonderful anonymous message for all you readers, cleverly disguised as a message to me.

Thank you for the revealing answer about GAG's communicating with us in dreams or sleep. I didn't expect that since I don't participate with the responders because I can't make donations.

[Stop the train! 🚂This is not a paysite and certainly "ain't no church." Nobody is coming along with a basket on a long handle to vacuum up money from parishioners, some of whom might throw dirty looks in your direction for not contributing.... Okay, Mr. Conductor, please tell the engineer to carry on now.] 

My spouse knows I read your site and what The Committee has to say, thinks I'm crazy and doesn't want me to talk about it. Yes, "one of those." :) No doubt believing The Committee is a group of people in a boardroom who think they know everything about everything. Hasn't got a clue; what a loss.

I found your site about 8 years ago after reading about you on Channeling Erik, after stumbling upon that website. (All probably meant to be.) I hope you continue sending your "nuggets of wisdom" for years to come. (I'm 71 years young) and plan to be around a little longer to enjoy the site and all your readers responses. I want to, like I see so many, tell you that I really appreciate what you are doing. The wisdom I find here is exceptional, I can't get enough. And I know there are thousands of us out here on the "sidelines" just like me, cheering you on. You need to know that!!

[Stop the train again!! The responses are not from "my" readers, I claim no ownership and neither control over the free speech nor the free consumption thereof. The commentary belongs to all commenters equally; it's Communication Communism. Vladimir Lenin would be so envious....

You are, both individually and collectively, not on the sidelines. You are the main players, actors, makers & shakers. I am on the sidelines, tossing information crumbs onto the pitch, the playing field, the court and into street. Okay, Mr. Engineer...please have the locomotive start up again.]

After reading my emails in the morning, your site is the first thing I go to anxious to see what you've written and the responses of the others I've been reading for years.....(Linda, Lorri, The Scotts, etc., people from all around the world. You are a very special person indeed and deserve all the credit you get for what you do. Corny as it sounds, my days would not be the same without "The Amendment" and your followers to read.

Thanks again!!! Love, peace and good health to you and yours!!!
=====================================================
See now what I meant? This website wouldn't be here today without all of you defacing it. The compliment is not for me, but I humbly accept my miniscule share.

If not offered in colors, I predict female customers shall stay away from this product in droves.

The link to the article follows below, to verify; it was very kindly & generously sent by a reader, who possibly knew it would set off The Committee. It pulled my trigger, so I pushed their buttons. The Q&A follows the article.

May The Force Be With You & With Us.  In fact, it already is; the benefits arrive after acknowledging then using this power, always available to all of us.

It's been some time since we've had Open Microphone Friday. In my part of Earth's forest, it's still Thursday the 2nd; if this applies to you too, then add your question below quick! Beat out the other readers who've already submitted before you but did that on Friday the 3rd, such as folks in Oz and The Land of the Long White Cloud.

Ask whatever you would like that might also benefit readers here (not a requirement, just a gentle suggestion) but bear in mind, I draw blanks on questions of innocence, guilt & criminality. I sometimes get explanations behind criminal trends, effects or enterprises but not details about "whodunit".

CORRECTION FRIDAY 3rd March
Reader "Linda" spotted the error first! A reading awaits her....
====================================
Q&A 3 March 2023
A reader asks:   Do we [assumption: humans] communicate with our guides and loved ones simultaneously while we dream or does it happen at separate times while we sleep?
A:    Both. Replace the words guides, loved ones, dream & sleep  with friends, family, eat & get together then re-read the question.

I hope nobody made any betz about this....

Given a reader's brief questions, I watched the video, then waited for The Committee to explain. They say:

​"This object, which is more properly described as a device, was specifically designed and manufactured to be deposited on Earth for humans to find. The objective, which was achieved with great success, was to observe reactions and investigation. 

The discovery of electromagnetic or radio waves was human detection of location signals being broadcast with a dual purpose; both locate the object and also to increase human interest and scrutiny.

The object was being operated by alien extraterrestrials as the human possessors then investigators were being observed."

​been hidden by some humans from most of us. I am interested in what readers here would treat, consider or accept as proper, irrefutable & unmistakable revelation of visitor presence, travelers from other stars, planets and galaxies. Please comment below.
