Q. What is meant by the war in heaven between Michael and the Devil?
A. "As has just been given, as is understood by those here, there is first - as in the spiritual concept - the spiritual rebellion, before it takes mental form. This warring is illustrated there by the war between the Lord of the Way (Archangel Michael) and the Lord of the Darkness (Satan) - or the Lord of Rebellion." [Cayce 281-27)]
(Q) What shall be inscribed upon the cornerstone of the building?
(A) Build this in the triangle, and this shall be the inscription: Cayce Hospital - Research and Enlightenment - founded by (the next stone) Association of National Investigators, Inc., 1927. (The next) That we may make manifest the love of God and man. [GD's note: 12/13/29 under 2087-1, Par. 3 and 9/5/30 under 254-51 this motto is paraphrased.]
HARK! There comes the voice of one who would speak to those gathered here: (Pause)
I AM MICHAEL, LORD OF THE WAY! BEND THY HEAD, OH YE CHILDREN OF MEN! GIVE HEED UNTO THE WAY AS IS SET BEFORE YOU IN THAT SERMON ON THE MOUNT, IN THAT ON YON HILL THIS ENLIGHTENMENT MAY COME AMONG MEN; FOR EVEN AS THE VOICE OF THE ONE WHO STOOD BESIDE THE SEA AND CALLED ALL MEN UNTO THE WAY, THAT THOSE THAT WOULD HARKEN MIGHT KNOW THERE WAS AGAIN A STAFF IN DAVID, AND THE ROD OF JESSE HAS NOT FAILED: FOR IN ZION THY NAMES ARE WRITTEN, AND IN SERVICE WILL COME TRUTH!
T0254-092 * [Pg 3]
And then ye may be very sure that all of those influences from the spiritual realm are as ONE. For whether it be as ye have seen at times, the Lord of the Way [archangel Michael?] or the Christ Himself as Jesus, or others be sent AS an aid, depends upon whether ye hold that ideal that is One with the Universal Truth for and to man.
T0262-027 * [Pg 1]
(Q) Please give a meditation for the lesson on THE OPEN DOOR.
(A) AS THE FATHER KNOWETH ME, SO MAY I KNOW THE FATHER, THROUGH THE CHRIST SPIRIT, THE DOOR TO THE KINGDOM OF THE FATHER. SHOW THOU ME THE WAY. [See 262-28, Par. 12-A.]
In the preparations, then, for the lessons that may be gained by each that have dedicated themselves and their efforts in the preparation of the way, the door is through the life, the spirit of the life - not the man, but the spirit as manifest in the Christ Consciousness in the material world. So, as each do manifest in their daily walks in and before men with that consciousness as the standard, so may the door be opened for that entity, that soul, to so grow and magnify that spirit to the glorifying of the Father, losing self in the service to others, that in the earth His name may be established forever.
BE STILL, MY CHILDREN! BOW THINE HEADS, THAT THE LORD OF THE WAY MAY MAKE KNOWN UNTO YOU THAT HAVE BEEN CHOSEN FOR A SERVICE IN THIS PERIOD WHEN THERE IS THE NEED OF THAT SPIRIT BEING MADE MANIFEST IN THE EARTH, THAT THE WAY MAY BE KNOWN TO THOSE THAT SEEK THE LIGHT! FOR THE GLORY OF THE FATHER WILL BE MADE MANIFEST THROUGH YOU THAT ARE FAITHFUL UNTO THE CALLING WHEREIN THOU HAST BEEN CALLED! YE THAT HAVE NAMED THE NAME MAKE KNOWN IN THY DAILY WALKS OF LIFE, IN THE LITTLE ACTS OF THE LESSONS THAT HAVE BEEN BUILDED IN THINE OWN EXPERIENCE, THROUGH THOSE ASSOCIATIONS OF SELF IN MEDITATION AND PRAYER, THAT HIS WAY MAY BE KNOWN AMONG MEN: FOR HE CALLS ON ALL - WHOSOEVER WILL MAY COME - AND HE STANDS AT THE DOOR OF THINE OWN CONSCIENCE, THAT YE MAY BE AWARE THAT THE SCEPTER HAS NOT DEPARTED FROM ISRAEL, NOR HAVE HIS WAYS BEEN IN VAIN: FOR TODAY, WILL YE HARKEN, THE WAY IS OPEN - I, MICHAEL, CALL ON THEE! [See also 262-28, Par. 11-A, 17-A, and 18-A.]

(Q) Is there any message for the group as a whole at this time?
(A) Be patient, long-suffering, bearing one another's burdens. Be joyous in the Lord. Be not tempestuous in manner, thought, act or deed; rather SERVING in humbleness of spirit. Enjoy the labors. Enjoy those things that make for the unison of thought in Him, knowing ye have been called, and that "By HIS power I, as a member of such a group, called to give myself first, called that self may become a channel, called that I as an individual may cooperate with my brother EVERYWHERE in making known the joyous words of the Lord; "for the Lord is in His holy temple, let all the earth keep silent. Who IS this Lord? Where is His temple? Know ye not that your bodies are the living temple, holy and acceptable unto Him, would ye walk in His ways?
HARK! O YE CHILDREN OF MEN! BOW THINE HEADS, YE SONS OF MEN: FOR THE GLORY OF THE LORD IS THINE, WILL YE BE FAITHFUL TO THE TRUST THAT IS PUT IN EACH OF YOU! KNOW IN WHOM YE HAVE BELIEVED! KNOW THAT HE IS LORD OF ALL, AND HIS WORD FAILETH NOT TO THEM THAT ARE FAITHFUL DAY BY DAY: FOR I, MICHAEL, WOULD PROTECT THOSE THAT SEEK TO KNOW HIS FACE!
T0262-033 * [Pg 4]
(Q) Is there a message for the group at this time as a whole?
(A) BOW THINE HEADS, O YE MEN THAT WOULD SEEK HIS PRESENCE! Be STRONG in His might! Falter not at thine own weak self! Know that thy redeemer liveth and may THIS DAY MAKE KNOWN IN THINE OWN HEART HIS PRESENCE ABIDING WITH THEE! Root from thine body, thine consciousness, aught that would hinder His entering in; for HE would sup with thee! Wilt thou, then, O MAN, make known thine own decisions? Will ye be one with Him? The way which I guard leads to that of glory in the might of the Lord. I, Michael, would guide thee. Do not disobey. Do not falter. Thou knowest the way. [See 262-33, Par. R1.]
T0262-047 * [Pg 3]
(Q) [462]:
(A) In manifesting that love as He has shown, just be kind one to another; not in vainglorying, not in hardness of heart. Rather in the little things that bespeak of a mind that oft speaks with Him. Not in that which would make for vainglory, but rather that takes hold on the things that are oft despised of men yet shows forth the love of the Father for His children. For, as the father pitieth the children, so does the heavenly Father have mercy on those that would glory in Him.
COME YE, MY CHILDREN, IN THAT YE HAVE ALL BEEN CALLED UNTO THAT WAY WHICH WOULD SHOW FORTH TO THY NEIGHBOR, THY BRETHREN, THAT THE FATHER LOVETH HIS CHILDREN. WHO ARE HIS CHILDREN? THEY THAT KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS DAY BY DAY. FOR, UNTO HIM THAT IS FAITHFUL AND TRUE IS GIVEN THE CROWN OF LIFE. THE HARVEST IS RIPE, THE LABORERS ARE FEW. BE NOT WEARY BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN THAT WHICH HAS SEEMED TO TROUBLE THEE, FOR THE WAYS ARE BEING OPENED TO THOSE THAT SHOW THEMSELVES FAITHFUL AND TRUE. FAINT NOT, FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD IS NEAR AT HAND. [GD's note: Was this a message from the archangel Michael? It sounded like it. Thus it is being indexed under ANGELS AND ARCHANGELS, to be considered along with the rest. See 262-49, Par. 5-A.]
T0262-063 * [Pg 3]
COME, YE CHILDREN THAT SEEK THE LIGHT! BOW THINE HEADS IN PRAISE TO THE SON. FOR, THE WAY FOR EACH OF YOU THAT WOULD SEEK HIS FACE IS BEING OPENED BEFORE THEE. THE SON OF MAN, THE CHRIST, THY LORD, IS AMONG THEE, EVEN IN THINE HEART - IF YE WILL BUT OPEN THE DOOR TO HIM! [Angel:Archangel:Michael?]
T0281-033 * [Pg 4]
(Q) What is meant here by the war in heaven between Michael and the Devil?
(A) As has just been given, as is understood by those here, there is first - as is the spiritual concept - the spiritual rebellion, before it takes mental or physical form. This warring is illustrated there by the war between the Lord of the Way and the Lord of Darkness - or the Lord of Rebellion.
T0294-208 M [Pg 2]
BOW THINE HEADS, YE CHILDREN OF MEN! FOR I, MICHAEL, LORD OF THE WAY, WOULD SPEAK WITH THEE! YE GENERATION OF VIPERS, YE ADULTEROUS GENERATION, BE WARNED!
17. THERE IS TODAY BEFORE THEE GOOD AND EVIL! CHOOSE THOU WHOM YE WILL SERVE!
18. WALK IN THE WAY OF THE LORD! OR ELSE THERE WILL COME THAT SUDDEN RECKONING, AS YE HAVE SEEN!
19. BOW THINE HEADS, YE WHO ARE UNGRACIOUS, UNREPENTANT! FOR THE GLORY OF THE LORD IS AT HAND!
20. THE OPPORTUNITY IS BEFORE THEE! ACCEPT OR REJECT!
21. But don't be PIGS!

(Q) Is this entity, Father Joseph, who has given me [137] this counsel? [My father, Joseph when I was Jude?]
(A) Yes. And listen, and hark back to those periods when from these higher realms there was given by self, this ego, this I AM; this "my son David [GD's note: David was [[137]'s middle name], even in that period when the self sought entrance into the present experience - there has been felt that I and thou gathered at the side of him through whom word now comes [EC], and said: "Be faithful, and the desire of thine heart will be accomplished when I come." [Promise to EC as a child?] Hark! There would come Him the Lord of the Way [Michael, the archangel], and he would speak with thee:
"Bow thine head, for unto THEE is committed NOW the keeping of that way in the earth that [man] may know that the rod has not departed from Judah, neither has the lion been allayed that rose up in Midian, and unto Him that thou would counsel in teaching my people the ways. Lord of Hosts, be thou near as this, thy servant, bows and calls on those forces as were manifest in the flesh in the way as goeth down by Bethsaida, and as were gathered in the house of Joseph - as in Capernaum many
T0900-442 M [Pg 5]
(Q) Regarding the second edition of the pamphlet now being gotten up - or pamphlet completed, is it in good shape?
(A) Its in good shape to be GOTTEN in good shape! to be delivered to those who are seeking - much better, far better understanding will be gained. Gradually work in more now of that of individual experience, also that of SOME elements of the spectacular - but keep the reason! for ever should it EVER be, "Come let us reason together". Never my way, but thine, O lord, be done! for him who would guide, guard and direct the efforts of these bodies [Michael, the archangel?] would approach for just a word. Bow down thine head, my son, and seek the Lord while He may be found. Forsake not the tenets of thy fathers, and forget not the Lord in David gave, "For my servant David's sake will I remember mine people, even though they be scattered far afield", and let us gather unto the gate and behold the glory of the Son, even as He walks in the way - for the Father pitieth His children who love His ways and keeps them, though they wander afield, yet will the hearts be kept singing, in thy house will they be gathered.
T1561-019 M [Pg 2]
(Q) Can information be given at this time regarding the seeming inaccuracies in previous information regarding the production in the present hole? Please explain as fully as possible.
(A) As has been indicated, there is production here, even in the hole drilled; and there needs be only the waiting for those developments to prove same.
COME! HARKEN YE CHILDREN OF MEN! BOW THINE HEADS, YE SONS OF MEN! FOR I, MICHAEL, WOULD SPEAK WITH THEE CONCERNING THOSE THINGS YE QUESTION HERE!
HAVE YE NOT SEEN AND HEARD - UPON THE COURSE THAT IS PURSUED IN THE SEARCH THROUGH THIS MAN FOR KNOWLEDGE - IN SUCH YE DEVIATE AT THAT DEVELOPMENT OF MATERIALITY IN MAN'S SEARCH FOR GOD?
T2156-002 F [Pg 3]
(Q) Anything else that may be given at this time?
(A) Anything else?!! WORLDS! Worlds might be filled with that as might be given!
But let each of you here so live the Christ-Consciousness, as manifested in the Master, that you may be counted worthy to be even as those who would gather the crumbs of wisdom that will be manifested through this entity!
HARK! YE FRIENDS! I, MICHAEL, LORD OF THE WAY, WOULD GIVE THEE WARNING!
BOW THINE HEADS, YE VILE ONES OF THE EARTH! KNOW WHAT HAS BEEN ENTRUSTED TO THEE!
LIVE THE LIFE, LEST YE BE COUNTED ACCURSED FOR BEING UNWORTHY OF THE TRUST GIVEN THEE!
T3976-007 * [Pg 3]
(Q) Any other advice and guidance for these three?
(A) Thou hast had set before thee that thou art able, wilt thou but SACRIFICE self, wilt thou CRUCIFY the flesh that the LIGHT may shine forth.
HARK! Ye children of men bow thine head, for Michael the Lord of the Way would show THEE thine way - Who is able to stand in the day of the Lord? He that has purified his heart in the ways that make for the sons of men to know the Lord of Hosts WOULD approach to thine own throne; for WHO is this Lord? He that is HOLY is His name! Amen.
R0262-034 * [Pg 8]
"BOW THINE HEADS, O YE MEN THAT WOULD SEEK HIS PRESENCE. BE STRONG IN HIS MIGHT. FALTER NOT AT THINE OWN WEAK SELF. KNOW THAT THY REDEEMER LIVETH AND MAY THIS DAY MAKE KNOWN IN THINE OWN HEART HIS PRESENCE ABIDING WITH THEE. ROOT FROM THINE BODY, THINE CONSCIOUSNESS, AUGHT THAT WOULD HINDER HIS ENTERING IN: FOR HE WOULD SUP WITH THEE. WILT THOU, THEN, O MAN, MAKE KNOWN THINE OWN DECISIONS? WILL YE BE ONE WITH HIM? THE WAY WHICH I GUARD LEADS TO THAT GLORY IN THE MIGHT OF THE LORD. I, MICHAEL, WOULD GUIDE THEE. DO NOT DISOBEY. DO NOT FALTER. THOU KNOWEST THE WAY." (262-33)
Rudolf Steiner
The rejection of spiritual wisdom is a sin against the Holy Spirit.
Gabriel transformed men's brains and an organ developed in the forehead that should be used.
If no spiritual content flowed into it this part of the brain would wither, giving rise to infectious diseases and pestilence.
Spiritual science was kept secret under Gabriel. This science is suppose to stream out into the open under Michael.
Brains are already worked on in the mother's body.
When we look at an outside object it sends light (through Michael) into our eyes, and this creates a mirror image in the brain. The resulting mental image enables us to perceive the object consciously.
In meditation we have to create the mental image without an outer object.
Through the pictures that we create for ourselves the force of what we've made a picture of can stream into us.
We can create such imaginations more easily through the forces that we take into us in esoteric classes. We should take in such teachings with hearty feelings.
Saturn forces work on the sense organs.
The terrible degenerations that we see in sexual things will get much worse when Saturn rules the earth 400 years from now.
It's a matter of training warriors to combat sensual things. We're called upon to train ourselves so that we can fight this battle.
Michael needs hosts of helpers to fight out on the physical plane what he's already overcome on the astral plane. That's the great task that we have to fulfill. [Rudolf Steiner - https://rsarchive.org/Lectures/19071023e01.html]
September 29 - Archangel Michael...
To connect with Michael (whose forces towards man are at their peak today) Rudolf Steiner wrote this mantra. After reading this, imagine Michael in the silver dress dyed in gold. He takes the meteor iron with his right and builds the sword with which the sulphurian Dragon of Ahriman suffers. Raise the left hand and show the scales that warns to keep "spirit and matter" in balance. To imagine it, we can close our eyes, leaning well the plant of our feet on the ground, our arms on our legs relaxed.
"Michael! Lend me your sword so I can be armed to defeat the Dragon in me.
Fill me with your strength, that I may vanish the spirits that want to paralyze me.
I therefore act within myself, so that the light of my ‘SELF’ shines and I can be led to actions worthy of you."
On Friday, September 21, we passed the doors of the Autumn Equinox and with it we are at the peak of the forces of Michael's Imagination, especially when he rules the Libra, the sign under which the Equinoxium itself manifests itself. With the Libra hangs our actions, those of the past, linked to the brotherhood of blood, the forces of reproduction and Abel; with those of the future, the spiritual brotherhood, the forces of thought and Cain. That is, the Mystic Way and the Magic Way, Lucifer and Ahriman that must always be in balance in Christ. Michael instills in our ethereal head the force to radiate spiritual thoughts, unbound from the pastures of contingent materiality and embedded in the light empire of Io. Incarnate yet immortal, incarnate yet innate, individual yet cosmic, miniature yet the whole cosmos, human yet divine. Divine spark, man light. May our thoughts become His Sacred Sword and dissolve the thick into thin, weighing what is good for evil and evil for good. Michael allows, in accordance with our free will, what is from the past to be transmuted into fertile soil of growth to act spiritually toward the future: the redemption of material thought into living thought. anon

yes when I received the commission to paint him I prayed and asked to see him. Sometimes it happens immediately and sometimes it takes much longer. When I received the apparition, I did not tell anyone. Then a friend who has a meditation group called me and said" Archangel Michael came to our group today and said you were doing his portrait and he would be with you during the process! We would like you to come here so that he will return again."
After the painting was put into the healing chapel, someone took a small card of him to the Philippines which is where sister Josephina saw it. She got so excited and went into ecstasy as they filmed her explaining that this is exactly what he looked like. Then she was told I was the daughter of Nancy whom she had healed who loved her very much.
A few years later I received a call from a man who was in charge of security for the Bicentennial God Bless America Festival in Washington DC. Over a million people were expected to be outdoors all day and night for the extravaganza.
He asked me to share with him how to get in touch with Archangel Michael. After a week of fasting and praying the head of security saw him and told Archangel Michael "I will put my men every 100 yards around the perimeter of the Washington monument and down to the reflecting pool and capital. Please put your angels in between and we will see who does a better job! "I was astounded that he dared to talk to this magnificent Being in that way
As it turned out they all did a great job because it was the first time in Washington history where not a single incident involving the police happened.
Oh yes whenever we are in mortal danger or in transition all we have to do is call upon Our God Presence (or I Am Presence) to call on Archangel Michael three times and he will send help immediately! We must always remember to be grateful and thank him the Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
When my mother died (before she went to the Philippines) I called him in three times and he gave her an electric shock treatment so that everything in the room glowed blue! She went on to live many decades after that.
I am so grateful for the miracles he has brought. The Mormons consider him to be the Godfather for our galaxy. [Nanette Crist]
