The Overleaves

OVERLEAVES are the energetic or spiritual vessels that give you a personality. They could be described as energy bodies all surrounding the physical body. You choose them prior to your incarnation while taking a study hall break on the astral plane. During the in-between lifetime debatable you have the opportunity to review your previous life and choose overleaves that will help you take advantage of the karma you have collected. All overleaves have a neutral position but it carry a positive and negative pole, or charge. A positive pole creates flow while the negative creates resistance.

ROLE (who)

Roles are "who you are". Your role does not change from lifetime to lifetime within a cycle of lifetimes (yes, you can have more than one cycle). The role is selected prior to your separation into physical plane life. You separation occurs from what is called an ENTITY.  It consists of many like roles. For example, an entity may be a group of sages and servers. The number of individuals, called FRAGMENTS ranges from a few hundred to a few thousand, however, 1200 is a nice average. Michael Entity is 1050 Warrior and Kings. Michael Entity no longer incarnates as all fragments have completed their incarnations and returned to the entity.

ARTISANS are you creative types but not limited to the stereotypical artist and include musicians, craft workers, cooks, actors, teachers, computer programmers, writers, etc. 

SAGES are the storytellers. They include much of what artisans do but are usually more extroverted. For example, performance artist Maria Abramovich is a SAGE and her art is just as much about the performance as the finished image. One difference between the two roles is one emphasizes the product and the other the performance. The artisans tends toward the introvert and the sage the extrovert. The sage will let you know all about it. Artisans and Sages occupy the Expression Axis.

WARRIORs guard the territory. They are the protectors. They look out for the safety of others. They also enforce. They value loyalty and courage. They can also cause trouble as they attract conflict, especially physical contact. You can find them in the military, doing law enforced, as lawyers, as athletes. They are the most physically well adapted of all the roles.

KINGS are the leaders. You can find them as heads of state, as generals, as administrators, as  coaches. If there is a need for a lead the King will appear. Kings have a natural centering effect upon groups. Warriors and Kings occupy the Action Axis.

SERVERS do the work with a motto of, "how can I help" (Ram Dass). They gravitate to the work of Nurses, Doctors, Famers, Waiters, Teachers, and Mothers.

PRIESTS serve as the moral compass and you can always find them in a church, mosque or temple leading the flock. Then again, in todays culture they will serve as counselors, HR directors, and psycho therapists. Servers and Priests occupy the Inspiration Axis.

SCHOLARS love study and information. They do what the word suggests. You will find them working as researchers, historians and record keepers, but they will do anything their Karma suggests. They are the neutral of the three columns, Expression, Action and Inspiration. On the chart you will notice that they stand alone in a single column the Assimilation Axis.

GOAL (what)

Goal sets the direction for you path in life. As the word suggests, it guides what you are trying to learn. Think of it as a path or road that you ESSENCE FRAGMENT must follow.

DISCRIMATION - you  are fine-tuning your options. You limit your choices to what is nessecary. You are less willing to compromise. You search for the highest quality. You narrow your choices. You like precision. You are on a search to approach perfection. You have a clean house. Everything is in order. You search for purity.

ACCEPTANCE - You are striving for the acceptance of yourself as it relates to others. You are inclusive. You value friendship over any transgression it might involve. You want to be liked and you want to like others. You do not take rejection well. You want to bridge the gap of any disagreement and come to agreeable terms. You will sacrifice your own well being for the well being of others, that is, your perceived well being. You feel pain around what you see as injustice. You want to make the world a better place.

SUBMISSION - You are devoted to a cause, an organization or a project. Its good for a lifetime of focus on a task that needs to be completed, either for your karma or for a group karma. You can work long hours without every complaining. This is a good one for monastics who want to devote their life to a spiritual path. Can lend itself to taking on abuse.

DOMINANCE - You take on a task that requires a group needing direction. Simply stated, you are the leader, but by default. There is never a question who is in charge. This is a necessity when it comes to large group karmas.

RE-EVALUATION - Time to be alone and life a life away from conflict with others and sort out inner conflict. You are confined by your own self karma. You need to be alone and closed. In the extreme it can look like autism.

GROWTH - You fill your life with change. If re-evalluation was a slow walk, growth is a race car, but on a busy city street, so you might get frustrated with the slow pace of everything else around you. Its a lifetime full of surprise and unexpected events. Expect plenty of emotional conflicts to work out.

FLOW - Relax, everything will be taken care of. What ever you need will come your way and relationships will be general smooth. This is the down river lifetime or with the wind in your sales lifetime. Comes with a satisfaction about little things. Old souls who are shedding pounds of karma like it. Its the payoff.


The overleaf chart was developed by various Michael Channels during the early 1990's. Original material was channeled by Sarah Chambers in the late 1980's.
