All Is Choice

ALL IS CHOICE The word “choice” appears eighty times in the first Michael book, Messages from Michael by Chel­sea Quinn Yarbro, and one hundred seventy-five times in More Messages from Michael. Members of the group of students portrayed in the Yarbro books sometimes lamented hearing yet another lecture about choice from Michael. I’ve been a Michael channel and student since 1986, yet only recently have I begun to grasp how profound, multi-faceted, and far-reaching the concept that “All is … [Read more...]
