Lots of interesting discussion here, a few sentences in a few comments got my attention:

"…..They [Patrick & The Committee?] predicted that the Democrats would lose in the 2018 mid-terms, and they had one of their biggest wins ever….." 
  • I don't think so.  
"…Trump was the most unpopular president in modern history…"
  • This doesn't make sense.
"…. I remember one poll that reported…" 
  • Polls have consistently been highly inaccurate for years and years now. This is a big issue in the recent election. What every poll said about Congress not only was inaccurate, one party went in the opposite direction of the poll prediction and gained seats. Somehow the same polls were accurate about the winner. Hmmmmm... but very far off with percentages. Hmmmmmm..... polls are bullshit. 
"… terrible behavior during…debate…. complete mismanagement of the Covid crisis….. in which our Great America was the worst in the world, by all relevant metrics, in its response…." 
  • This is highly subjective statement and also inaccurate.
"….They were flat wrong about this one, thank Whoever. We would not have survived as a nation if [Trump] had been reelected." 
  • How did the USA survive from January 2017-2021 and prosper?

That link to the Council of One article? It is partisan propaganda, The Committee says to me clearly. 
 
I correctly interpreted at first, when The Committee said that Marine LePen  would not win, and later I made the mistake and reversed that MYSELF. It was not The Committee. Nevertheless, I was wrong.
 
As far as Trump remaining in office, The Committee says right now, the matter is not concluded and to carefully & closely observe the upcoming trial in the US Senate.

This is great overall, because we're having a tiny, microscopic version of what is, at the moment, being repressed elsewhere; free speech. A tongue is cut out from deep fear of what it might say.

So much of what we learn by incarnating is unique to incarnation, especially the negative things like, betrayal, disappointment, injury, pain, despair, desperation, etc . . .

How is the knowledge of these used once back in Heaven?

The experience is used to increase understanding of what is observed. Just like on Earth, where it's quite different to walk in someone else's shoes versus observing the shoes, their situation & intended destination.

@Patrick and TEC,
Q: Would we have incarnated elsewhere?
C: Nearly all of you have —and do— as the timeline illusion of your Earth existence is subtracted from the illusion your Earth life requires.
Q: Everything being simultaneous, right?
C: Exactly correct.

I think it has been said that we incarnate only once in a “lifetime”. Like born in xxxx to die xxxx (say being born 1964, dying 2035). Yet we can have multiple incarnations happening at the same time because of the illusion of time on earth but in different lifetime periods, earlier or later than say our current one In earths time illusion.
If I am correct on that, my question is what about an incarnation on another planet at the same time as this current earth lifetime is happening?
Can I be here on earth being me and say one of our cousins from afar that is watching myself on earth at this time?

A soul may incarnate anywhere along the Earth calendar. What is a past life to us now, can be lived AFTER the current incarnation is complete.

Yes, another incarnation can be lived on another planet simultaneously, because the two calendars or timelines do not mean anything to each other.

Can you simultaneously observe yourself from one incarnation to another? Yes, but neither being will be aware this is happening from the perspective of the incarnated being.

The strangest/prettiest thing happened yesterday. To set the scene: My rental house in the mountains has an open-plan living area with the living-dining-kitchen in one large space. It's dominated by a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows/french doors that look out over a wooded valley and to the mountains on the other side. The ceiling is vaulted and the windows follow the peak. The wood floor is dark reddish-brown with a shiny finish.

Sometime after 5:00 p.m. yesterday, the phone rang. I walked to the kitchen peninsula and picked up the phone, walking around it into the kitchen.

Standing at the counter, I looked into the living room and gasped. The side windows and french door windows were reflecting on the shiny floors and the reflections were like a rainbow or prism on STEROIDS. The colors ranged from magenta pink to turquoise to yellow green to turquoise to purple.

I've lived in this house for five years and never seen anything like it. I could not understand where the vivid colors were coming from because it was at the end of the day and we had a flat white-gray winter sky outside. If you looked at the windows themselves, there were no colors - it was only the reflections on the floors with the riot of color. The colors remained vivid and just slowly darkened slightly as the sun set and were there until it became dark.

Today, we have the same flat white-gray winter sky with slightly more clouds, and there are none of those crazy colors - just reflections of the dull winter sky.

What was it? My house-mate thinks it was just the perfect angle of sun that caused the brilliant colors. Really? And we've never seen this before?

I found this online where someone photographed a rainbow on a shiny stone floor. https://fia.umd.edu/answer-mysterious-rainbows-and-fossils-in-the-floor/

The colors on my floor were not in stripes like this. They blended into each other, but were big irregular swathes of color blending into the next color.

The link is about polarized light and the floor acting as a polarized filter too.

@Patrick - Such a great channeling on the soul, great information always appreciated.

I have no intention of being a gadfly on this Trump stuff. But my memory served me well on the first point you addressed. In this item from September 7, 2018, TC makes the call:

"In reply to Moon Launches, Patrick said:

The Committee is asking me to re-state the question as such: will the former president of the United States be able to convince enough voters to cast ballots the way he prefers - for a Democrat - votes which were not already going that way? Re-stated again, to attract and convert votes which a Democrat would not have otherwise received without his participation?

The Committee says that is what you mean by your question and the answer is no.

They go on to say, Democrats have spent all their political ammunition as it might involve blaming & criticizing the current president. This tactic will not attract new votes, and has approached a point of diminishing marginal returns.

The implication of your very compact and succinct question - the point of the exercise - which The Committee is already prompting me to address: will Democrats gain control of the US Senate or House of Representatives in the upcoming midterm elections? The Committee says no."

Also, Susannah Redelfs is not partisan, and there was nothing partisan about either article, which were direct channelings from the Michael Entity. It explained, as The Committee has at other times and using similar language, some of the "why" concerning the purposes of current events.

Best to you, and thank you again for passing along this wisdom.

What you may not realize is TEC only answers the questions put forth to them. I believe the Senate was taken control of by the Republican Party and the Democrats had the house but yet is or was it really the Democrats that had control? I don’t think so, they are mostly, not all of them, controlled by the HCP.
Also, the former President at the time having any influence on changing votes to Democrat from otherwise Republicans was a no because we all were sick of Obama and the people voted for someone who was not a politician. So in my opinion, they were not wrong. Perspective is everything 😊

Q: Who takes on the toughest incarnation roles on Earth?
C: The disabled, the crippled, the mentally affected, the victims of crime and the criminals. These people are the heroes of Earth.

Of course the disabled and victims (think 6 million of the Holocaust) are the bravest of the brave. And also those living in abject poverty in Africa, Middle East, etc.

And criminals? I have a hard time comprehending the life plans of criminals.. Do they go to sleep every night and plan their next crime with their GAG? The GAG of a serial killer would remind the criminal that the right victim to nab is the little blonde girl two blocks from the kindergarten and not the red hair? And the torturue should not last more than 10 hours or the police would catch on?
All this in the name of fulfilling their lifeplans?
I understand that part of this is 'retribution', ie the victim perpetrated something bad in their prior lives, and so they chose to experience what it is like on the receiving end in this life.
So when the criminal finishes this incarnation and goes home for his life review, it would go something like: you were suppose to maim and kill 100 but you only completed 80, so you need to go back next time to finish the outstanding quota?

@Stephen

The life plan of a criminal and the victims are planned by both before incarnation. From the standpoint of each getting valuable experience from it.
I know it is hard to wrap our human brains around but as an example, Hitler had a life plan to be who he was and create the history he did for the bigger human collective to learn and experience it. his soul came here to be the monster he was and from what I know of some channeling about him, he had a pretty rough time after he went home even though it was his life plan to do this for all. All of the negative energy directed toward him (his soul) even to this day has an effect on his soul or so I have read and gathered from channeling from like Erik Medhus and some others. Like Trump being born to be the President and Obama for that matter. There are certain souls who agree to take on such huge tasks here.
Hitlers victims, all the holocaust victims, came here willingly to play their part in the absolutely awful history but yet it is viewed as invaluable to the souls who participate in such.
I guess we will be able to see the value when we return home also but it is mind bending being a human to think of it as such I know😕
As for the GAGs meeting every night, I have no idea. I am sure Patrick can answer that and correct anything in my above post that may be incorrect and explain it better than I 😊

• The attacker ⇄ victim encounter isn't always planned. It's not an absolute requirement.
• Often we see the value long before we die from our bodies, and go home to Heaven.
• We meet with our Guardian Angel Guides as often as beneficial. Sometimes we call the meeting, sometimes they do.

Many times the killer/killed or criminal/victim would reverse roles in another incarnation.

Patrick
25/1/2021 11:23:22

• Sometimes the criminal act is planned, sometimes it's random or haphazard. The latter —just like "accidents"— are a lot less common than the pattern and nature of the incidents seem to be.
• No, a shortfall vs. budget is not carried through to a next life. Human life incarnations do not "drive the bus" it is quite the opposite, very much the other way around.

Many thanks, Patrick! Such a beautiful and amazing post about the souls that we are, but know next to nothing about...How wonderful and humbling it is to know that the souls who choose to experience a difficult life path are the bravest of the brave. So many of us would look upon a life like that as being a waste or a tragedy.

And thank you SO MUCH for updating us about the status of Trump--I've never lost faith, but it's great to get confirmation that the situation is still in play. Forgive me for saying this, but I feel ashamed of some of the readers who so quickly turned their back on TC's "prediction" about Trump. Sheesh!! What a bunch of wimps!

A similar lawsuit was enacted by Dominion against Powell.
1.3 billion charge.

Some the possibilities here:
A) They think to scare the opponents, or B)they think to have the back covered, or
C) They think no proof exist convincing enough or
D) They are a mass of morons

I fear some misdeed against the proofs and/or the witnesses, but who knows. Powell has already said that she is eager to test the opponents and see who will fold.

Form my part, the evidences of frauds are overwhelming and very organic and convergent. There are hints that a couple of assassinations are also linked to this fraud.
Time will tell...

I know some of you don't like these messages, but I thought this was a great one today.....

“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.
We are so very interested in what you all have to say to us. Please do not ever feel that you are bothering us or wasting our time when you reach out to us and tell us what you need, what you’re feeling, and what your take is on what’s going on there on planet Earth. We want to hear from you. Now, because we are a nonphysical collective, we are essentially consciousness, and therefore, we have no limitations placed upon us in regards to how much information we can take in at one time. No matter how many times a day you reach out to us, we will be able to hear what you have to say.
And with all of that information, we can better strategize around what energies to send you, what portals to open, what alliances to form, and so on. You are part of our galactic team. To us, you are the extra-terrestrials, even though we know that most of you have existed in our star system as well. We know the value of working as a team, and we want you to recognize that value as well. We also want you to value yourselves; we want you to see yourselves as significant members of this team.
You all didn’t create the myriad issues you have there on Earth; you all went there to fix the problems, find the solutions, and raise the consciousness so that all of humanity would be able to do so. Therefore, you are just like us, only you are there in the flesh. You are the ground crew; we are the nonphysical support staff. We are all in this together, and all of the problems of Earth were problems that you inherited from other parts of the galaxy.
So none of it, none of the giant mess that has been created there, is really humanity’s fault. But of course, you have to live your lives believing that in order to feel something, and you have to feel something negative first in order to feel something positive. We are giving you permission to feel the positive emotions, the higher vibrations, and we want you to feel as good about yourselves as you possibly can for even being there and taking one, or several, for the team.
This is why all you have to do is open up and receive our help and the help we provide, along with the other beings and collectives in our little alliance. This is no time for you to feel ashamed of where you are as a collective. But rather, we want you to recognize that you are the ones who are there to let in all of the energies that will serve humanity the most. You are there to ground them and make them available to your fellow humans, and we will remain here in the ninth dimension to help, and our suggestion box is always open.
We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”

I am one who doesn't like these messages but NOT because they aren't nice and pleasant. They are. They remind me of a President Obama speech. Thank you Susan for posting it. I am usually reluctant to read, see or hear things with which I already agree. I learn nothing, and it's boring. With this I disagree.

This missive is long on smiles, SERIOUSLY short on substance. As in...woefully deficient.

Fist of all, saying "...none of the giant mess that has been created there, is really humanity’s fault...."
• What giant mess? To what is the "mess" compared and what impartial criteria establish messiness, good order or something else? This is painfully subjective and emotional. I am the first to say problems exist among humans BUT neither among nor for the vast majority of us. Most of the problems humans have WE HAVE CREATED. These are the minority of our troubles, such as the coronavirus epidemic and mass overreaction. The majority of mankind is wholesome goodness.

Beyond this, the message is a truckload of vague niceties which mean...what?

OK, there's my addition to free speech. Somebody who disagrees should explain why I should have a different perspective. Please do this. List the reasons why I'm off base.

26/1/2021 15:44:15

@ Patrick. Be it ;-) You might resonate with this message...

As many of you know, the fifth dimension is not a place you go to; it is a state of being that you maintain. It is a vibration that you continuously offer, and when your shift in consciousness is completed, you won’t have to try to get into the fifth-dimensional state. It will be automatic, but it will be automatic because of what you are doing right now.
Many of you dip your toes into the hot bathwater that is the fifth dimension from time to time, and you stay there for as long as you can. Whenever you do that, you bring some of that energy back with you to the fourth. You come down, but you are changed by the experience, and you are projecting a different type of consciousness, a different level of consciousness, and the rest of humanity feels that.
You do realize that you can help others shift just with your presence. Just by emanating love from your being-ness, you are helping everyone there on Earth. This shift is not about doing, and we think we’ve established that it’s not about things happening outside of you, but it is about you and the vibration you offer. Offering a high vibration more consistently has a bigger impact than anything you could do right now. This is what those of you who are truly awake recognize, even without beings and collectives like ourselves telling you. In fact, many, many of you who are part of the new age community just emanate love because you know that’s how you want to feel.
You were born sensitive; you were born empaths. And therefore, you could not stand to be around anything that was of a lower vibration for very long. And the world needs you now more than ever to shine that light, to exude that high vibration, and to set that example for the rest of your fellow humans who are still of the belief that what’s happening outside of them is more powerful and more influential than what’s coming out of their own energy fields. You set the tone for this shift every time you achieve a higher-vibrational state, and you invite your fellow humans to join you.
You are there to not only make it to 5D; you are there to enjoy the journey that you are on. And we are here to help and to support; we are here to remind you of what you already know but that you sometimes forget because you got caught up in someone else’s idea of what the shift is all about.
Now is your time to shine because you are needed so very much by people who will never meet you, never read a book or a blog that you’ve written, and never watch a video that you’ve made. And we say that because we want you to know that your impact is bigger than your reach into the ears and eyes of those that you are capable of reaching. You are reaching the souls of your fellow humans because your souls always feel that connection to each and every other human that exists on planet Earth right now.
We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”

In the high school, we had a Swedish language word exam.

I let the tape recorder and transmitter on with a timer, went to school and the exam, during which I put the small earpiece into my ear, covered by the palm of my hand, with the wires running inside my shirt sleeve to the radio in my pocket. I did not hear anything! When I went home, my mom told she had turned the tape recorder off because she thought I had forgotten to turn it off...

Yeah, That was around 1959 and I was about 14 years old. I could not resist the temptation to try. I never tried again. And as to sending music on my pirate transmitter, I had to stop when I saw someone on the street trying to locate my transmitter. My wire antenna was high above his head. I guess he never thought to look up! The next day my music transmissions were on a major newspaper and I had to stop...

"Santanu,

I still have here now a German Telefunken tube or valve radio of the same age as your Philips, even with the same tube set.

At my parents home we had a much older Philips from somewhere in the 1920-30 era. Philips would have bought it from us for their museum, except I broke the separate speaker plastic enclosure when I took it to the primary school so that the class could listen to the 1956 Olympic games in Rome.

Well, now I just feel impotent...a Valve radio...I knew how to take my grandfathers watch apart...I didnt sit down for a week after that...).

This discussion is great. I had never heard the term "valve radio" until now, even though I remember seeing more than several, especially in relatives' houses.

I'm sick of Tom Brady. Watching this guy win over and over and over the last couple of decades irritates me. Was being a big a winner in the NFL a life plan for this man or what? Either way ... GO CHIEFS!!!

I have been a New York Jets fan for >51 years; I feel your pain but Brady is very good. I've watched him in person, he has the mojo. Mahomes and The Chiefs are going to make a great game of it. If The Committee's prediction turns out wrong, then somebody will have tinkled in the Bucs' cheerios.

@Scott R: That reminds me of taking apart a Fevre Leuba clock which we had. My dad complained that it was running slow. So I decided to fix it. As soon as I opened it all the springs and gears flung on all directions. I panicked and collected all the parts and springs, stuffed them inside the clock, closed the backplate and escaped from the spot. When my dad noticed that the clock was not running, he took it for repairs and when they opened the clock obviously nobody was pleased. The valve radio also became a victim of my engineering skills.

We called these devices "tube" radios. I remember watching them begin to glow faint red as they warmed up inside the television set. I had to look through the small ventilation holes in the back of the cabinet. This was an older Magnavox color television my mother's uncle gave us in 1968 with which I watched my first episodes of Star Trek. 🖖

The tubes or valves were replaced by semi-conductor transistors, alien extraterrestrial technology we discovered. Once we started making circuits with them, the Alien ETs taught us how to make digital circuits, and the computer chip was born. This history is well concealed.

I never heard of that company Favre Leuba, it's been around for almost three centuries! 😮

Pat, do you know the year (roughly) they gave us digital circuits?

Three pieces of string walk into a public house. The first says to the landlord "a pint of bitter please", the landlord eyes him carefully and asks "are you a piece of string?" the first piece of string says yes.
"We don't serve piece of string here" replies the landlord, "get out".
The second piece of string pipes up, "a pint of lager please landlord". The landlord looks at him and asks if he is a piece of string... the second piece of string confirms and is duly shown the door.
The third piece of string steps up to the bar and asks for a whisky. The landlord - looking exasperated says "I've told your two buddies to get out, are you a piece of string?" to which number three replies "No, I'm a frayed knot".

Question for British beer connoisseurs: is bitter a type of pale ale?

Well I'm not a connoiseur (the French DO have a word for that), but yes, bitter is a British style of pale ale.
And as Al Murray has already said, British thinking put German beer in a glass made in France to make a great British pint.

Good memories! When our television set went 'on the blink' my father would remove the suspect tubes and take them to be tested at Radio Shack. I also recall my rather frustrated dad three stories up on a ladder adjusting our aerial antenna while mom monitored the fuzzy TV screen yelling directions up through the open window. Much to my father's dismay, our TV seemed to act up the most during football season--LOL!

That antenna adjusting reminds me of 1990 when I installed a TV satellite receiver. The 10 foot/3 m dish is very sharply directional. I was turning the dish and my father-in law was yelling to me if there was a picture on the TV. When he yelled that I got it, I maximized the picture quality and went in to watch the channel with him. That first channel happened to be Playboy TV. LOL!
