“Your Soul, Its Anatomy, Its Cosmic Journey and Its Meaning to You.”
Our December 10, 2016 program will feature a talk by Tom Coates, our group’s only still-active original member and one of our most popular guest speakers, with music by Dan O’Neal. This is a continuation of Tom’s Self-discovery series aimed at exploring the multidimensional facets of human identity and every human’s search for his or her authentic Self.
The focus of this year’s talk will be an exploration of your soul’s cosmic journey as described in the channeled teachings of the Michael Group, the Ra Group, Group 7 and other sources. Tom is fortunate to have enjoyed a lifetime of communications with his own spirit guides, and for many years has augmented those through channeling sessions with a number of other higher plane spirit/soul groups or sources.
He also has been a student of esoteric and channeled writings throughout his life, and followed closely the works of Edgar Cayce, Jane Roberts (The Seth Material, etc.), Robert Monroe and countless others.
This program also will include practical tools intended to aid those interested in learning details about their own souls, e.g., about how, in concrete terms, their souls may be impacting and influencing their lives, about their past-life histories, and much more.
As part of this practicum, Tom will provide a line-by-line explanation of a sample “Michael Reading” soul chart, a chart channeled through the Michael Group which purports to describe various aspects of an individual’s soul including its role, history, soul age and other aspects.
It also includes personality traits of the individual which the soul has chosen to experience through that individual’s lifetime. Blank copies of this chart, along with instructions on how to use it, will be handed out to all in attendance.
This promises to be another blockbuster program and a fitting way to conclude our group’s twenty-first year and usher in its twenty-second. As always, Tom promises some secrets known only to a few will be revealed.
