Mary Beth Steisslinger's Question: Dear Machaelle, information i have seen says that the Space Brothers are manifesting a bright star-like luminary in four locations around the world (so that is may be seen by humanity all over the world). It is said to herald the coming of a great teacher for all of humanity from the White Brotherhood. Have you seen this "Star" at Perelandra or in your travels? I have also heard that the Space Brothers help with cleaning the atmoshpere of nuclear radiation. Do they also help with clearing toxins from the dumping of sludge if asked... ie is this part of the work we are doing when we use the EoP or other essences and do a coning?

Machaelle's Answer: This is one helluva question to throw at me at the end of the day. You can't imagine how much I don't know about any of this. But more importantly, you can't imagine how much I don't care about any of this. I try and keep the information that I work with personally useful. If these things are important to you, you can open a coning and ask the White Brotherhood yourself. I haven't seen the above mentioned "star" at Perelandra, but what a great sunset we've been having. . . .

ET's Question: When I tune in to certain trees in my garden or to some of my specific houseplants, I feel a strong soul connection, as if I were communicating with the being or soul of that specific plant. What do you call this energy or essence that I'm feeling? Is it the nature spirit of that particular plant? It does not feel like it is a separate entity from the plant itself. It feels like it is as tied to that specific plant as my soul is to my own body in this lifetime.

Machaelle's Answer: For understanding what you're picking up on, I suggest that you read either Behaving as if the God in All Life Mattered or the Perelandra Garden Workbook. That should give you a clear idea of what you're sensing.

82.
karen Dawnn's Question: Is this so rude to ask another question??? Just wondering your thoughts on the dangers of WI-FI????

Machaelle's Answer: I don't have any thoughts on Wi-Fi, so I'm going to have to beg off this question.

81.
EG's Question: Thanks for the response to #17. it's reassuring to hear, all signs to the contrary, that we're not going to hell in a handbasket! And that our efforts, small as they seem, might be helping after all&

Machaelle's Answer: Terrific! Just don't forget to vote November 2nd!

80.
Mary Ann's Question: Because we can't always eat organic food, what do you recommend to offset the effects of GMO's on our bodies? Does Digestive System Balancing Solution address any part of the effects?

Machaelle's Answer: You might want to look at the recommendations for testing the Solutions for yourself on this. But offhand, I would say Immune, Lymphatic, Digestive and Urinary would be effective. Don't underestimate that urinary system!

79.
Linda Young's Question: LOVE your directness and sense of humor Machaelle!! :) Appreciate the response to take Solutions SOME time when we can remember if we can't do it at the perfect time rather than not at all!! Just what this Nervous Nellie literalist needed to hear!

Machaelle's Answer: Great! But don't abuse my answer. it's not an excuse for someone to become unnecessarily lazy or sloppy, just forgiving if you miss something.

78.
Tulis McCall's Question: Question #2) - this may have been accidentally posted. I live across the street from a beautiful park. But people gather there with pitbulls that are mismanaged or encouraged to fight. Not my park or my animals. Is there anything I can do? Thanks

Machaelle's Answer: Wow, no accountin for the dumb things people do to animals, right? Since it's not your park or your animals, there's nothing you can do except stay out of the park.

77.
Trise Ruskay's Question: When you communicate with Universal Light, do you do it in a coning?

Machaelle's Answer: Absolutely. it's a difficult energy to translate from if it's done outside a coning. The coning gives support and clarity.

76.
Shanimah's Question: Have you considered P flash cards? Especially with pictures of the flowers? Just looking at the pics of P Garden on the web seems healing & balancing.

Machaelle's Answer: When you need a fix of the Perelandra garden, we suggest the Garden Shots gallery on our web site.

75.
tammy's Question: I'm a new feldenkrais practitioner. Before each session, I set up a coning with: OD of Feldenkrais Method, Pan, appropriate members of the WB for teaching Feldenkrais and my higher self. does this sound right? Or do I need to do it as a Prof. MAP coning?

Machaelle's Answer: Hey congratulations! I have a long-time friend who is a Feldenkrais teacher. How you set up the session depends on what you want to accomplish during the session. The 4-point coning that you mention will assist you to function with the Feldenkrais method as it exists now. And since you are new as a practitioner, I think this is a good way to go. it'll help you get your feet under you. Professional MAP will add to your Feldenkrais sessions new and different ideas that will expand your Feldenkrais experience as a teacher. I suggest waiting before you do this because it's going to be important to establish your foundation before you expand your role as a teacher.

Tulis McCall's Question: I am struggling with my home office. Cannot seem to get it together and get my yah yahs flowing. Also have other issues in terms of career/relationships etc. But this feels like the place where I can see the confusion. I have one SLG, my Umbrella garden with a lot of "departments" now instead of a bunch of gardens going on, and I have asked if the office needs its own garden - I get a negative. It feels like I have hit a wall - been over a year now. Just did a Calibration today because I see that I am emotionally down. Any suggestions for something ongoing like this?

Machaelle's Answer: Hey Tulis!
Here are my suggestions:
Infuse Essence of Perelandra into your soil-less garden every time you open the coning. And for each work-related action that you have scheduled for the day, support that action by infusing Essence of Perelandra. You don't even have to open your soil-less garden coning, just infuse it into that action. For example, if you're having a meeting, infuse it into the meeting. Just this should smooth things out for you. But because I know that you diligently work with all this, I'm also suggesting that you call the Question Hot Line so that you can talk it through and they can point out other areas where you can shore this up.
For yourself, plan to take Essence of Perelandra daily. That should stabilize you emotionally. But definitely call the Question Hot Line as well.

73.
Susanna's Question: about Carolyn's questions, maybe you could answer it in a different format? Would be great to hear your input on the shift and all. There seems to be so much false information circulating, and it is always refreshing to hear from you on those matters, honest, and down to earth. Thank you so much !!

Machaelle's Answer: I agree with you about the false information, so I deal with that by ignoring it. I feel certain that if something is helpful at some point, I'll write about it. But as of right now, what's really important is that people take responsibility for themselves and their own lives and work to understand how to move forward in balance in all areas. For the sake of development, this particular focus is far more important than understanding an overall global, universal picture. The universal approach actually is not very helpful. it's the personal approach that's needed right now. As you balance the areas of your life, You'll find the answers to these kinds of questions will automatically be clear to you.

72.
Callie 's Question: As a cancer survivor I have been taking MBP Solutions morning and evening. After reading some of the material here, do I also test and take them for specific problems as well?

Machaelle's Answer: For the whole cancer experience, including remission / surviving, I have a list of the Solutions needed. See Health Watch 14: Cancer Protocols.

71.
peter c's Question: Just spent a *very* enjoyable 1/2 hour of Perelandra Open House time watching Prince Poppycock videos. Thanks for the tip!

Machaelle's Answer: FANTASTIC! What a great thing for me to read!

70.
susanna's Question: Looks like the money system world wide is up for change. Do you and the cottage team see any shifts toward bringing in a system similar to the infinite accounts at the cottage ? I know some people who are working on ideas in that direction.

Machaelle's Answer: The Cottage system has nothing to do with some overall global structure. It has to do with personal understanding of one's individual self-worth.

69.
Shanimah's Question: I took my dog, Alex (4yrs), to test for his AKC CGC. I gave him EoP beforehand. As I recall, he tested neg. for ETS for Animals. He failed 1 test of letting the examiner play with his front paws so did not pass. Suggestions for next time? Tx.

Machaelle's Answer: When you give an animal (or a person) Essence of Perelandra, it is to stabilize and strengthen their balance. It does not mean that the animal (or person) is going to automatically do what you want them to do. In this case, you have to consider the possibility that Alex, when he is balanced and strengthened, clearly does not want some goonball screwin around with his paws.

68.
Martin K.'s Question: Hello Again, Any suggestions how to quit smoking — or any other addictions? (Do they smoke on the Cottage level? — they enjoy a glass of Bubbly now and then I read) How best to support oneself while still addicted?

Machaelle's Answer: I'm suggesting that death thing again. But don't take it personally. I just think it may be the answer to all your problems. (To anyone who thinks I'm insulting this person, Martin is a long-time Perelandra customer and I think he spends weeks prior to any forum thinking about the most annoying questions he can ask me just so I can insult the hell out of him. But I'm only kidding. I don't want him to die because he may show up on my doorstep at The Cottage with yet another annoying question! ;-) As for your question. MAP can help a person quit smoking, and Essence of Perelandra can support someone while they're still addicted.

67.
Dori 's Question: I have had a low grade systemic bacterial infection or parasite for months now, causing urinary & digestive discomfort. It does not show up on blood tests, my alternative Dr. figured it out. I am 95% better, responding to golden-seal and colloidal silver. I want to boot it on out! Any suggestions? Thanks Dori (again!)

Machaelle's Answer: I suggest Health Watch 5B: Infectious Disease.

66.
Betty's Question: My daughter recently graduated from college and is working as a waitress while she looks for a job in her field. She is extremely sensitive and picks up other people's energy. This presents many problems for her. She takes EoP before work. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Machaelle's Answer: Tell her to take a dose of ETS Plus for Humans whenever she's picking up on others energy. It might help if she carried ETS Plus in her pocket at all times.

65.
karen Dawnn's Question: hi again Machaelle, i forgot to ask. can i adress my molar problem, a bladder infection and tinnitus all at the same time and with what?

Machaelle's Answer: You need to address them each separately, but you can address them simultaneously.

64.
E's Question: I need to clarify my question (23.) regarding ETS+ versus FE after MAP: when I do a session in bed at night I sometimes just do a FE test after closing the coning because it is faster than staying awake for another 15 minutes (I fall asleep right away) to take the required three doses of ETS+. If that is alright, is it just a basic essence test or a telegraph test for the session?

Machaelle's Answer: Just do a basic essence test.

63.
Anonymous Question: Since my two daughters are born I am dealing with a lot of stress, anger and frustration. What is the best essence formula for me? Also how I can recognize that there is a positive result with MAP program? I feel very exhausted after a MAP coning and in the same time very exhausted. I don't feel very talkative during my sessions.

Machaelle's Answer: You know, I hate to say this, but it sounds like you are dealing with motherhood. So many young mothers say the things you're saying. Here are my suggestions.
1. Use ETS Plus for Humans liberally — any time you feel especially stressed.
2. Take the following MBP Solutions twice daily:
        * Immune System Balancing Solution
        * Lymphatic System Balancing Solution
        * Digestive System Balancing Solution
        * Endocrine System Balancing Solution
        * Nervous System Balancing Solution
        * Respiratory System Balancing Solution
3. In your next MAP session, tell your MAP team that you're exhausted all the time and that every time you have a MAP session until further notice that's what they are to focus on during the session so that you don't have to say it each time. Also tell them that the MAP session itself is exhausting you.

62.
karen Dawnn's Question: Hello Machaelle, is there a way to tell if a MAP session worked to cure my molar pain by healing the pulp or by just releasing the pain and now perhaps my tooth is just dead? my dentist is trying ozone next week and he is trying to help it but is not sure if it is dead or healing?

Machaelle's Answer: Here's the key question — Do you have pain? If you don't have pain, probably your MAP session worked. You're going to have to test to find out precisely how it worked. If you're out of pain, you might postpone the ozone treatment and see where it's leading you. don't make the decision now, just see where it's leading you. You could also ask your MAP team whether to have the ozone treatment (and whether to have it now or later).

61.
Dori 's Question: We want to bring our cat family of 7 together. Four cats have issues with each other, stalking, top cat etc. & have to be kept separated. Our desire is for a loving family. Is there any hope? Animal coning has been suggested, not sure whether to use Rose Ess. or Ess. of Perelandra for this. Any other ideas? Dori in Phoenix

Machaelle's Answer: Start with Essence of Perelandra. You may have to consider that to achieve your goal of a "loving family" that some cats in your gaggle of cats may need to be given to other families for the sake of everyone's happiness. So the key here is to do the right thing for the cats.

60.
Anonymous Question: Hi Machaelle, I am trying to MAP program since January 2010 and have very interesting experiences with energy. I am still not sure about the essences. The first time I visually saw rose, beautiful rose. I am from Bulgaria and Bulgarian Rose is a symbol of the country. I am not sure if I need this essence or this was given to me as symbol. I can say that kinesiology is still not clear to me. I feel so strong the energy around me, that I don't have time to test myself.

Machaelle's Answer: I would take it that the Bulgarian Rose is your MAP team symbol. As for kinesiology, the best thing for learning how to test and becoming proficient is to practice, practice, practice! Thanks for joining the forum today.

59.
Mary Jane Heinrichs's Question: Thank you. I did mean MBPs and I'll add the Nervous and Respiratory to my regime. I'll add the MBP suggestion also. Question Two: Can you take more of the Lymphatic if you have some drainage issues in that area. I have been taking the recommended amount each evening for the past year and feel much better. My massage therapist thought that jogging might also help drain the lymph nodes.

Machaelle's Answer: You can expand your dosage by taking the morning dose as well. But always also take Immune. So you'd be taking Immune and Lymphatic twice a day for this issue.

58.
Josette Prevost's Question: What process and/or MBP, essences, etc& can I use to best protect myself while/after my landlord fumigates and/or uses orange oil against termites in my rental unit?

Machaelle's Answer: Josette You're in luck! I happen to have a Health Watch for that. See Health Watch 7: Chemical Exposure. If you have questions after reading it, call the Question Hot Line.

57.
jane dare's Question: re: question 19 Machaelle, you are so damn funny!

Machaelle's Answer: Aw, thanks. I'll be appearing at "The Comedy Club" every Thursday for the next 6 months. Come throw tomatoes with the rest of the crowd. ;-)

56.
Linda Young's Question: Last post....Promise!! Suggestions for anxiety...of a sort that never lets down the guard? ie vigilance or feeling the need for it...affects the diastolic blood pressure. How to lower that???? Thanks a MILLION!

Machaelle's Answer: Oh brother, Linda. I think this is something that you really need to take to MAP. If you don't already know how to start MAP, call the Question Hot Line on Wednesday and they'll help you. Another suggestion is to follow the Stress Health Watch.

55.
Linda Young's Question: Loved your response to nervous Nellie about getting the process right...much appreciated from another NN!!

Machaelle's Answer: I think it's important that all the NN's of the world unite! I feel your pain. Glad I could help!

54.
Diane's Question: Second guessing myself-- I worked with MAP for over a year and started second guessing myself. Did I understand my identifier/password right? When I test for a Y or N am I reading the result correctly or influencing the result? I will say that when I had 3 months of dental work done, Nature was a huge help, but I'm not confident in my ability to perceive and interpret? Any suggestions?

Machaelle's Answer: Unfortunately the only way through this dilemma is to keep testing. Decide that you are not going to second-guess anymore. Whatever the answer is, that is the answer. Period. End of story. Then look at the results. The only way to gain confidence is to see the results. You can't get confidence by thinking about it. Another way of saying this is that you lose confidence if you over-think the results.

53.
vb's Question: Thank you so much, Machaelle! You are terrific and so is Jeannette.

Machaelle's Answer: You're very welcome. We're glad we can help!

52.
Barbara 's Question: Recently had back injury and worked with MAP team. It was too painful and exhausting to test for individual essences so I just took ETS figuring it covered all the essences. Is that true and can we use ETS instead of testing for individual essences?

Machaelle's Answer: The ETS Plus is not a super-sized essence solution and does not replace individual essences. However, when you find it difficult to test essences, taking ETS Plus 2 for 3 times a day, and Essence of Perelandra twice a day should support you well while you heal to the point where you can start your essences testing again. Also, you can have Emergency MAP open during longer challenging times in your recovery to help you with things like pain and exhaustion.

51.
Mary Trentham's Question: I went through a period of using all of the ETS solutions for many situations and still consider them to be very valuable. However, I still have a few "go to" garden essences. Tomato is one that I love. Have you ever considered doing a super sized vat of that, or any other single essence that is popular?

Machaelle's Answer: No, because what essence is popular for one person is not necessarily popular for everyone else. Everybody has their individual Top 10 list as far as essences are concerned.

50.
Jane Dare's Question: ok, so you come out of a MAP session and something "new" is hurting, or some emotional crap comes up, do you go right back into another session?

Machaelle's Answer: Take the recommended doses of ETS Plus for Humans first. Whatever came up should settle out for you. If you still have questions, you can just reopen the MAP coning and ask if you need to come back in or if you can wait until the next MAP session to address what's going on. It may be important to actually process through something in real time, even if you don't feel great while You're doing it.

49.
Dee Calley's Question: Just a heartfelt thanks for all that you have given over the years. You have certainly been a valued part of my life. Thanks for the advice on my cascading left side.

Machaelle's Answer: Okay Dee — just the visual "cascading left side" was interesting! Glad to have been able to help.

48.
Gale's Question: Machaelle, what MBP products would you suggest for Vertigo? Thanks-you!

Machaelle's Answer: Oh good — I just finished writing the steps for this. Let me refer you back to the steps for this in Question #39.

47.
Jane Dare's Question: What age do kids have to start opening their MAP by themselves?

Machaelle's Answer: There isn't a specific age for this. I'll refer you to pages 157 to 158 of the third edition of MAP for a full explanation of how to approach this and make a decision that best suits your child.

46.
Louise's Question: I appreciate all your techniques (MAP, MBP), but just can't understand what is the difference between them and just praying for help.

Machaelle's Answer: Oh Louise, you don't have to pray for this help. I'll just go ahead and answer your question! With MAP, You're addressing your personal health and balance. With the Microbial Balancing Program, You're addressing the health and balance of microbes either in your body, an animal or an environment. If You're still having difficulty, give them a call on the Question Hot Line this Wednesday and they'll be happy to clarify.

45.
Terry's Question: 2nd try! What do you suggest for restoring focus & tenacity in my worklife (31 yrs self-employed) after 5+ yrs of trauma/disruption/hormone hell? I'm healthy, happy, grateful, garden's fantastic, and friends love my help for THEM, but am easily discouraged in my own pursuits, new venture.
