I HAVE LEARNED

I HAVE LEARNED...

The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield

The Celestine Prophecy
by James Redfield
Warner Books, 1993
Outlined by Laura Bryannan

First insight

• A reconsideration of the inherent mystery that surrounds our individual lives on this planet.
• We experience mysterious coincidences which show us that there is another side of life we have yet to discover--some other process operating behind the scenes.
• A world transformation is taking place now because the number of individuals conscious of such coincidences is growing dramatically.
• Once we reach a "critical mass" of such individuals, the culture will begin to take these coincidental experiences seriously, and we will wonder, in mass, what mysterious process underlies human life on this planet.

Second insight

• History is not just the evolution of technology; it is the evolution of thought.
• By understanding the reality of the people who came before us (what they felt and thought) we can see why we look at the world the way we do, and what our contribution is toward further progress. The world is about to identify a particular preoccupation that developed during the later half of this millennium (the Modern Age).
  1. The Middle Ages (1000 BCE): the reality of this time was defined by the Christian Church.
     • The world the church described as real is, above all, spiritual.
     • Life was defined as having one solitary purpose: to win or lose salvation.
     • Churchmen were there to interpret the scriptures and tell you whethe you are in accordance with God or Satan; if you followed their advice, you were assured a rewarding afterlife.
     • Every aspect of the Medieval world is defined in other-worldly terms.
     • All phenomena of life is defined either as the will of God or as the malice of the devil.
     • All people took for granted that the world operated solely by spiritual means.
  2. Fourteenth-Fifteenth centuries: the previous world view begins to fall apart.
     • Improprieties on the part of the churchmen cause rebellion; Martin Luther calls for a complete break from papal Christianity.
     • The men who defined reality for centuries lose their credibility.
     • The clear consensus about the nature of the universe and humankind's purpose here collapses.
     • Scientific discoveries proved that the realities about our world as maintained by the Church were incorrect: the Earth is not the center of the universe, for ex.
     • All ideas about the world taken for granted now need new definition, especially the nature of God and our relationship to God.
  3. Modern Age: a growing democratic spirit and a mass distrust of papal and royal authority.
     • Definitions of the universe based on speculation or scriptural faith are no longer automatically accepted.
     • To avoid some new group stepping in to control reality as the churchmen did, a method of consensus-building (the scientific method: testing an idea about how the universe works, arriving afterward at some conclusion, and then offering this conclusion to others to see if they agree) was developed.
     • Explorers were sent out to the world, armed with the scientific method, to find out how it works and what it means that we find ourselves alive here.
     • We sent these explorers out to bring back a complete explanation of our existence, but because of the complexity of the universe they weren't able to return right away.
• When the scientific method couldn't bring back a new picture of God and of mankind's purpose on the planet, the lack of certainty and meaning affected Western culture deeply.
  1. We needed something else to do until our questions were answered.
  2. We shook off our feeling of being lost by taking matters into our own hands, by focusing on conquering the Earth and using its resources to better our situation.
  3. This focus became a preoccupation. We lost ourselves in creating a secular society, and economic security, to replace the spiritual one we lost.
  4. The question of why we were alive, of what was going on here spiritually, was slowly pushed aside and repressed altogether.
  5. We've forgotten that we still don't know what we're surviving for.
• It is time now to wake up from this preoccupation and reconsider our original question: What's behind life on this planet? Why are we really here?

Third insight

• A new understanding of the physical world: humans will learn to perceive what was formerly an invisible type of energy.
• The basic stuff of the universe, at its core, is a kind of pure energy that is malleable to human intention and expectation in a way that defies our old mechanistic model of the universe--as though our expectation itself causes our energy to flow out into the world and affect other energy systems.
• Human perception of this energy first begins with a heightened sensitivity to beauty.
  1. The perception of beauty is a kind of barometer telling each of us how close we are to actually perceiving the energy.
  2. When something strikes us as beautiful, it displays more presence and sharpness of shape and vividness of color. It stands out. It shines. It seems almost iridescent compared to the dullness of other objects less attractive.
  3. The next level of perception is to see an energy field hovering about everything.
• Plants which have the most direct conscious human attention are more potent and grow faster than plants which do not get conscious attention.
  1. Plants grown in this way, when ingested, increase the body's efficiency dramatically.
• Two periods of the day most conducive to seeing energy fields: sunrise and sunset. How to begin:
  1. Touch the tips of index fingers together, with blue sky in background.
  2. Separate the tips about an inch and look at the area directly between them.
  3. Take eyes out of focus a bit and move the tips closer, then apart.
• Once humans learn to observe energy fields, our understanding of the physical universe will quickly transform.
• We would become conscious that certain localities radiate more energy than others, the highest radiation coming from old natural environments, especially forests

Fourth insight

Eventually humans will see the universe as comprised of one dynamic energy, an energy that can sustain us and respond to our expectations.

1. We have been disconnected from the larger source of this energy; we have cut ourselves off and so have felt weak, insecure and lacking.
2. In the face of this deficit, humans have always sought to increase our personal energy in the only manner we have known: by seeking to psychologically steal it from others--an unconscious competition that underlies all human conflict in the world.

When a person engages another in a conversation, one of two things can happen: that person can come away feeling stronger or weaker.

1. We prepare ourselves to say whatever we must in order to prevail in the conversation.
2. Each of us seeks to find some way to control and thus remain on top in the encounter.
3. If we are successful, if our viewpoint prevails, then rather than feel weak, we receive a psychological boost.

When we control another human being we receive their energy. We fill up at the other's expense and the filling up is what motivates us. Most people are in a constant hunt for someone else's energy.

Fifth insight

• Humans must learn to gain energy from the universal source, not other humans.
  1. Food is the first way of gaining energy, but in order to totally absorb energy in food, the food must be appreciated, savored.
  2. Taste is the doorway; you must appreciate taste; this is the reason for prayer before eating--to make eating a holy experience--so the energy from the food can enter your body.
  3. After personal energy is increased through conscious eating, you become more sensitive to energy in all things, and then you learn to take this energy into yourself without eating.
  4. To be open to universal energy, you have to connect--to use your sense of appreciation, as in seeing auras--but you take this one step further so that you get the sensation of being filled up.
  5. When you successfully appreciate something, you allow the love that underlies all to enter you.
  6. When you appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of things you receive energy. When you get to a level where you feel love, then you can send the energy back just by willing it so.
• Even though an alternative source of energy exists, we really can't stay connected with it until we come to grips with the particular method that we, as individuals, use in our controlling, and stop doing it--because whenever we fall back into this habit, we get disconnected from the source.
  1. This habit is always unconscious at first; the key to letting it go is to bring it fully into consciousness.
  2. This is done by seeing that our particular style of controlling others is one we learned in childhood to get attention, to get the energy moving our way.
  3. Our parents and siblings operated in a drama themselves, trying to pull energy out of us as children. We had to have a strategy to win energy back.
  4. This style is something we repeat over and over again. It's called our unconscious control drama.
  5. Each person must reinterpret their family experience from a spiritual point of view, and discover who they really are. Once we do this, we can go past these control dramas and see what is really happening.
• General control drama styles. Everyone manipulates for energy either aggressively--directly forcing people to pay attention to them, or passively--playing on people's sympathy or curiosity to gain attention.
  1. Aloof: in order to get energy coming your way, you withdraw and look mysterious and secretive. You hope that someone will be pulled into this drama and try to figure out what's going on with you. When someone does, you remain vague, forcing them to struggle, dig and try to discern your true feelings. As they do so, they give you their full attention and that sends their energy to you. The longer you can keep them interested and mystified, the more energy you receive.
  2. Interrogator: sets up a drama of asking questions and probing into another person's world with the specific purpose of finding something wrong. Once they do, they criticize this aspect of the other's life. If this strategy succeeds, the person being criticized is pulled into the drama. They find themselves becoming self-conscious around the interrogator and paying attention to what the interrogator is doing and thinking about, so as not to do something wrong the the interrogator would notice. This psychic deference gives the interrogator the energy he desires. Interrogators pull you off your own path and drain your energy because you judge yourself by what they might be thinking.
  3. Intimidator: someone who threatens you, either verbally or physically. You are forced, for fear of something bad happening to you, to pay attention to them and so to give him energy. This is the most aggressive kind of drama.
  4. Poor Me: someone who tells you all the horrible things that are already happening to them, implying perhaps that you are responsible, and that, if you refuse to help, these horrible things are going to continue. Someone who makes you feel guilty when you're in their presence, even though you know there is no reason to feel that way. Everything they say and do puts you in a place where you have to defend against the idea the you're not doing enough for them.
• People use more than one drama in different circumstances, but most of us have one dominant control drama that we tend to repeat, depending on which one worked well of the members of our early family. A person goes to whatever extreme necessary to get attention energy in their family.
  1. Interrogator parents tend to create aloof children. When someone continually asks you questions, only to find something wrong with your answers, you must get vague and distant, to try to say things that will get their attention, but not reveal enough to give them something to criticize.
  2. Intimidators tend to create poor me children (or another intimidator). If someone is draining your energy by threatening you with physical, mental or emotional violence, being aloof doesn't work; you can't get them to give you energy by playing coy; you are forced to become more passive, and guilt-trip them about the harm they are doing. If this doesn't work, then, as a child you endure until you are big enough to explode against the violence and fight aggression with aggression.
  3. Aloof parents tend to create interrogator children. If you were a child and your family members were either not there or ignored you, playing aloof would not get their attention. You would have to resort to probing and prying and finally finding something wrong in these aloof people in order to force attention and energy.
• To find your true self you must go back to your family experience and review what happened. Once we become conscious of our control drama, we can focus on the higher truth of our family that lies beyond the energy conflict. Once we find this truth, it will tell us who we are, the path we are on, what we are doing.
  1. Look past the energy competition that existed in your family and search for the real reason you were there.
  2. Ask yourself the question, "Why was I born to this particular family? What might have been the purpose for that?"
  3. Ask yourself what each of your parents stood for. Each parent will try to claim your allegiance to their particular point of view. Every human being, whether they are conscious of it or not, illustrates with their lives how he or she thinks a human being is supposed to live.
  4. Each of us must try to discover what our parents taught us about this and, at the same time, what about their lives could have been done better.
  5. What you would have changed about your parents is part of what you are working on.
  6. Every person begins their spiritual life in a position between their parent's truths. That's why you were born there: to take a higher perspective on what they stood for. Your path is about discovering a truth that is a higher synthesis of what these two people believed.
  7. If you look closely at all the things that have happened to you since birth, if you view your life as one story, you'll be able to see how you have been working on this question all along.

Sixth insight

• Getting clear of our family control drama opens the way for us attune to our particular mission in this life.
  1. Each of us must look at the significant turns in our lives and reinterpret them in light of our evolutionary question.
  2. Try to perceive the sequence of interests, important friends, coincidences that have occurred in your life. Where were they leading you?
  3. We must all spend as much time as necessary doing this process of clearing our pasts. Once we transcend our family control drama, we can comprehend the higher meaning of why we were born our particular parents, and what all the twists and turns of our lives were preparing us to do.
• We all have a spiritual purpose, a mission, that we have been pursuing without being fully aware of it. Once we bring it completely into consciousness, our lives can take off.
• The truth we pursue on our particular spiritual mission is as important as the evolution of the universe itself, for it enables evolution to continue.
  1. Humans are born into their historical situations and find something to stand for. They form a union with another human being who also has found some purpose.
  2. The children born to this union then reconcile these two positions by pursuing a higher synthesis, guided by coincidences.
  3. Each time we fill up with energy and a coincidence occurs to lead us forward in our lives, we institute this level of energy in ourselves, and so we can exist at a higher vibration.
  4. Our children take our level of vibration and raise it even higher. This is how we, as humans, continue evolution.
• The current generation is ready to do this consciously and accelerate the process. No matter how scary, there is no longer any choice in this matter. Once you learn what life is about, there is no way to erase the knowledge. If you try to do something else with your life, you will always sense that you are missing something.
• How to help this process of maintaining one's path:
  1. Insure that your energy level is high by focusing on the unique beauty and shape of everything, especially nature.
  2. Try to experience a feeling of closeness, the feeling that no matter how far away something is, you can touch it, connect with it.
  3. Breathe in this energy by taking deep conscious breaths, holding each about five seconds before exhaling.
  4. Visualize that each breath pulls energy into us and fills us like a balloon; experience becoming lighter and more buoyant.
  5. After you breathe in the energy, check your emotions. Do you feel love? This is the true measure of whether you are really connected. Love is not an intellectual concept or moral imperative. It is a background emotion that exists when one is connected to the energy available in the universe.
  6. Once you are connected with the energy, examine your thoughts.
     • The words you habitually will through your head in an attempt to logically control events stop when you give up your control drama.
     • As you fill up with inner energy, other kinds of thoughts enter your mind from a higher part of yourself. These are intuitions. They appear in the back of your mind, sometimes in a kind of daydream or mini-vision.
  7. When you have acquired enough energy, you are ready to consciously engage evolution, to produce the coincidences that will lead you forward.
     • Remember your basic life question--the one your parents gave you--because this question provides the overall context for your evolution.
     • Next you center yourself on your path by discovering the immediate, smaller questions that currently confront your life.
     • These questions always pertain to your larger question and define where you currently are in your lifelong quest.
     • Once you become conscious of the questions active in the moment, you always get some kind of intuitive direction of what to do, of where to go.
     • The only time this will not occur is when you have the wrong question in mind. The problem in life isn't in receiving answers. The problem is in identifying your current questions. Once you get the questions right, the answers always come.
     • After you get an intuition of what might happen next, the next step is to become very alert and watchful. Sooner or later coincidences will occur to move you in the direction indicated by the intuition.
• Always remember to stop as often as necessary to reconnect your energy. Stay full, stay in a state of love. Once you achieve this state of love, nothing nor anyone can pull more energy from you than you can replace. But you must stay conscious of this process in order for it to work. This is especially important when you interact with people.

Seventh insight

• Certain objects will jump out at us; our thoughts, dreams and daydreams often come to us as guidance.
  1. Dreams can be interpreted by comparing the story of the dream to the story of your life. Bad dreams have the most important messages.
  2. Daydreams show us a scene, a happening, and this is an indication that this event might happen. If we pay attention we can be ready for this turn in our lives.
• We have many more of these kind of thoughts than we realize. To recognize them we must take an observer position. When a thought comes, we must ask why. Why did this particular thought come now? How does it relate to my life questions? Taking this observer position helps us release our need to control everything. It places us in the flow of evolution.
• Fear images should be halted as soon as they come. Then another image, one with a good outcome, should be willed through the mind. Soon, negative images will almost never happen; your intuitions will be about positive things.
  1. When negative images come after that, they should be taken very seriously and not followed.
  2. Example: If the idea comes to you that you're going to have a wreck in a truck and someone comes along and offers you a ride in a truck, do not accept it.
• Build your energy and center yourself in your situation, in the questions you have; you will then receive some form of intuitive guidance, an idea of where to go or what to do, and then coincidences occur to allow us to move in that direction. Each time these coincidences lead us into something new, we grow, we become fuller persons, existing at a higher vibration.
• We must assume that every event has significance and contains a message that somehow pertains to our questions. This especially applies to what we call bad things. The challenge is to find the silver lining in every event, no matter how negative.

Eighth insight

• All the answers that mysteriously come to us really come from other people.
  1. Not all the people you meet will have the energy or the clarity to reveal the message they have for you.
  2. You must help them by sending them energy; consciously projecting energy into a person helps them see their truth. They can then give this truth to you.
• We must honer this interpersonal ethic and treat others in such a way that more messages are shared. This insight is about using energy in a new way when relating to people in general, but it begins with children.
  1. Children need energy on a continual basis, unconditionally.
  2. The worst thing that can be done to children is to drain their energy while correcting them. This is what creates control dramas.
  3. These learned manipulations can be avoided if the adults give them all the energy they need no matter what the situation.
  4. Children should always be included in conversations, especially about them.
  5. Adults should never take responsibility for more children than they can give attention to.
     • Any one adult can only focus on and give attention to one child at a time.
     • If there are too many children for the number of adults, then the adults become overwhelmed and unable to give enough energy.
     • In this situation, children will begin to compete with each other for the adult's energy and time.
     • Adults often glamorize the idea of large families and children growing up together, but children should learn the world from adults, not from other children. In too many cultures, children are running in gangs.
     • We should not bring children into the world unless there is at least one adult committed to focus full attention, all of the time, on each child.
     • All the energy does not have to come from the parents alone; in fact, it is better if it does not. But whoever cares for the children must provide this one on one attention.
  6. Give children energy and always tell them the truth of every situation in language they can understand. Much damage is done when adults create distortions on the spot because they want to have a little fun, or because they believe the truth is too complicated for a child to comprehend.
  7. When children experience continuous sincere attention, they will assume they will continue to have enough. This makes the transition from receiving energy from adults to getting it from the universe much easier for them to grasp.

When one first learns to be clear and to engage one's evolution, any of us can be stopped, suddenly, by an addiction to another person.

1. When love first happens, the two people are giving each other energy unconsciously and both people feel buoyant and elated: "in love."
2. Once they expect this feeling to come from the other person, they cut themselves off from the energy in the universe and begin to rely even more on the energy from each other--only now there doesn't seem to be enough.
3. They will then stop giving each other energy and fall back into their dramas in anvattempt to control each other and force the other's energy their way. At this point the relationship degenerates into the usual power struggle.
4. Because of the energy competition in families, most of us were unable to complete an important psychological process: integrating our opposite sexual side. We become addicted to someone of the opposite sex in able to access this energy.
5. The energy of the universe we can tap is both male and female. We can eventually open up to it, but the process takes time. If we connect prematurelyvwith a human source for our female or male energy, we block the universal supply.
6. Example: We are walking around "incomplete" like the letter C. We are susceptible to a person of the opposite sex who can complete the circle, giving us a burst of euphoria and energy that feels like wholeness that a full connection to the universe produces, a letter O.
   • The problem with this completed person, this O, that both partners think they have reached, is that it has taken two people to make this one whole person.
   • This one whole person consequently has two heads, or egos. Both partners want to run this whole person they have created.
   • Both partners what to command the other, as if the other were themselves. This kind of illusion of completeness always breaks down into a power struggle.
   • In the end, each person must take the other for granted or invalidate them so they can lead this whole self in the direction they want to go.
7. We must first stabilize our channel with the universe. After we do this we will attract a higher relationship, one that will not pull us from the path of our individual evolution.

Resisting "love at first sight" feelings is a good way to avoid this kind of entrapment. Learn to have platonic relationships with the opposite sex.

1. Have these relationships only with people who will reveal themselves totally, telling you how and why they are doing what they are doing--just as what might have happened with the opposite-sex parent during an ideal childhood.
2. By understanding who these opposite-sexed friends really are on the inside, one breaks past one's own fantasy projection about that gender, and that releases us to connect again with the universe.
3. This is not easy, especially if one must break away from a current co-dependent relationship. We are all co-dependent in some way.
4. The idea is to begin to experience that sense of well-being and euphoria experienced in the first moment of a co-dependent relationship when you are alone. You must get him or her in the inside.
5. After that, you evolve forward and can find that special romantic relationship that really fits you.

How we approach other people determines how quickly we evolve, how quickly our life questions are answered.

1. How open are you to the messages other people may have for you?
2. Whenever people cross our paths, there is always a message for us. Chance encounters do not exist. How we respond to these encounters determines whether we're able to receive the message.
3. If we have a conversation with someone who crosses our path and we do not see a message pertaining to our current questions, it does not mean there was nomessage, it only means we missed it for some reason.
4. We should stop what we're doing, no matter what, and find out the message we have for that person, and that he person has for us.
5. Once we grasp this reality, our interactions will slow down and become more purposeful and deliberate.
6. When you encounter a group of people--too many to engage with all individually--how do you know who has the messages you need? Look for signs:
   • Sudden, spontaneous eye contact is a sign that two people should talk.
   • A sense of recognition, someone who looks familiar, even though you know you've never seen the person before.
   • A person that seems "highlighted."

When we appreciate the shape and demeanor of a person--really focus on them until their shape and features being to stand out and have more presence--we can then send them energy, lifting them up.

1. The more we appreciate their wholeness, their inner beauty, the more the energy flows into them and, naturally, the more that flows into us.
2. The more we can love and appreciate others, the more energy flows into us.
3. When you give someone more energy than they would have otherwise, you can see your truth and more readily give it to them. When you do that, they will have a sense of revelation about what you're saying. This will lead them to see your higher self even more fully and so appreciate it on an even deeper level, which amps up the cycle even more.
4. Two or more people consciously doing this together can reach incredible highs as they build one another up and have it immediately returned.

Consciously interacting in a group:

1. As the members of a group talk, only one will have the most powerful idea at any one point in time.
2. If they are alert, the others in the group can feel who is about to speak, and then they can consciously focus their energy on this person, helping to bring out their idea with the greatest clarity.
3. Then, as the conversation proceeds, someone else will have the most powerful idea, then someone else, etc.
4. If you concentrate on what is being said, you can feel when it is your turn; the idea will come up into your mind.
5. The key is to speak up when it is your turn and to project energy when it is someone else's turn.
6. Some people get inflated when in a group: they feel the power of an idea and express it, then because the energy feels so good, they keep on talking, long after the energy should have shifted to someone else.
7. Others are pulled back and won't risk expressing an idea, even when they feel the power of it. When this happens, the group fragments and the members don't get the benefit of all the messages. The same thing happens when some members of the group are not accepted by some of the others.
   • When we dislike someone, or feel threatened by someone, we tend to focus on something we dislike about the person.
   • When we do this, instead of seeing the deeper beauty of the person and giving them energy, we take energy away and actually do them harm.
   • Humans are aging each other at a tremendous rate with these kinds of violent competitions.

What if the person we are speaking with is operating in a control drama and trying to pull us into it?

1. If you do not assume the matching drama, the person's own drama will fall apart.
2. Each drama needs a matching drama to be fully played out. Example: an intimidator needs either a poor me or another intimidator.
3. Naming the drama the other person is playing will usually dissipate it.
   • Control dramas are covert strategies to get energy.
   • Covert manipulations for energy can't exist if you bring them to consciousness by pointing them out. They cease to be covert.
   • After that, the person has to be more real and honest.

Ninth insight

• How will human culture change in the next millennium as a result of conscious evolution?
  1. Lost of rainbows and unicorn stuff I didn't feel like copying!
  2. Our destiny is to continue to increase our energy level. As our energy level increases, the level of vibration in the atoms of our bodies increases.
  3. We will get lighter, more purely spiritual.
  4. Whole groups of people, once they reach a certain level, will suddenly become invisible to those who are still vibrating at a lower level. It will appear to the people on this lower level that the others just disappeared, but the groupthemselves will feel as though they are still right here--only they will feel lighter. When humans begin to raise their vibrations to a level where others cannot see them, it will signal that we are crossing the barrier between this life and the other world from which we came and to which we go after death.
  5. This conscious crossing over is the path shown by the Christ. At some point, everyone will vibrate highly enough so that we can walk into heaven, in our same form.
  6. Vanished civilizations, such as the Mayans, accomplished this transfiguration.

THOUGHTS ARE THINGS

6-10-2011
Today, I was extremely sleepy and so I took a very long nap in the middle of the afternoon. While sleeping it seemed I was getting information about the topic "Thoughts Are Things" but when I finally woke up, I could only remember a stream or two from the dream. I decided to approach getting more details by constructing a set of questions and allowing my inner voice to fill in the blanks for me.

Thoughts are things:
In the Divine Frequency of Love and Light, we extend these questions in a humble ritual of seeking further knowledge, wisdom and clarity. We are grateful for your responses in advance, we thank you. We are certain that we will receive what is needed for us to receive in this time/space reality.

Q. Imagine: Thoughts are things. What does that mean?

A. Everything that is seen or unseen, heard and unheard, felt and unfelt is a manifestation of THOUGHT. Simply put, the things that you manipulate in your world, all began with a thought, a vision, an image in the ethereal world or the ethereal dimension that surrounds your world, your reality. If you approach the THINGS that you utilize each day, from the tiniest to the largest and remind yourself, that it came to some entity in the form of a thought, picture or image, that was later made to manifest in 3d creation it will help to see how THOUGHTS become THINGS.

Now if you can extend that process to the Creation of the Universe, then you will be more able to see how the Universe started off as thought and then that thought became manifest in all of Creation.

Human beings on this planet limit themselves in the sight of Infinite Creation by becoming overwhelmed by its magnitude. However, if they would simply realize their own magnificence in the Creation it would be much easier for them to fathom their relationship with Infinite Creation, that began with THOUGHT.

Q. Does it mean they are tangible things that we can see, touch, taste and smell?
A. Yes, they are all of these things and much more. Why do we say much more? Because in your reality, there is much more that is unseen than is seen due the the frequency of the 3 density/frequency reality. Cultivation of SIGHT in the 3rd density/frequency requires time spent seeing past the physical reality.

Q. How do you spend time seeing past the physical reality?
A. In the realization that all is consciousness, you will begin to approach all that you see as a manifestation of consciousness. Consciousness is not tangible in 3rd density reality. It is like the wind, the air, space. However, in 5th density and beyond the consciousness can be manipulated by thought and moved through stages of density from the concrete to the penetrable.

Q. Does it mean they are things that we can mold and shape to do our bidding?
A. It means that if you penetrate the consciousness of a thing, then you can move that thing, mold it or shape it. It will not do your bidding without being united with you in your consciousness and then asked to achieve a certain outcome. This is not to say, that this manipulation cannot be done without the assistance of that which is being manipulated, it is just to say, it is a violation of the consciousness of the other, to manipulate it without permission. Example: you may want to move all of the furniture out of your house and take it to another house. If you ask the house you are removing the furniture from, if you ask the furniture that you are removing and then ask the new location to receive this shipment of furniture, you are in alignment with the consciousness of both houses and the furniture. If you do not, then you are out of alignment and various so-called mishaps may occur along the way. I.E. things may break, be lost, flat tire (of course you must ask the vehicle to cooperate with the move as well), etc. Many of you just assume that when these things happens it is because of carelessness or some various other reasons. However, if you take the time to acknowledge the consciousness of all you interact with, you may find some amazing results happening. The act of being conscious and sharing consciousness with the instruments in your world, will heighten your ability to manipulate these instruments provided you have made contact. How often, out of utter frustration, you start to talk to the instrument invoking its cooperation???

Q. Does it mean that they are the masters or we are the Creators?
A. Thoughts and things cooperate and manifest creations, or phenomenon or as some may say, miracles. Miracles happen because their is no separation between thoughts and things, neither is Master or Creator without the other.

Q. Where are these thoughts?
A. Thoughts are in the same place where things are. All thoughts are things all things are thoughts. So, you can see this further if you begin to see the "things" around you as "thoughts". Thoughts + Things = Creations. Some Creations manifest in physicality others are non-physical. Example: the inventor or Magician as it were, or Creator may have had many thoughts about many things that they wanted to bring to physicality or instrumentation but did not. 3rd density reality, would assume that those thoughts/things no longer exist because there is no physical manifestation of them. However, since thoughts/things are limitless they can be perceived by another Magician/Creator who may then be able to manifest them in 3d physicality. This is the significator of 3d physicality. Thus the saying, "There is nothing new under the sun."

impactful throughout person's life in 3rd density physicality.

Dreams come from the realm of 4th & 5th density. Dreams can be manipulated in these densities if the dreamer makes intention to do so. This intention puts the dreamer in alignment with 4th-5th densities allowing the dreamer the ability to manipulate the unseen in 4th-5th density. Imagine, if you will, that a child can only perceive things from a certain perspective, that being thru the eyes of a child. Once the child becomes an adult, they are able to see beyond the child's perspective and are able to manipulate the reality around the child, making the child think that the adult is "magical" when in fact, it is just that the child was not able to see what the adult could. The same thing applies to 3rd density reality, it cannot perceive what is happening in 4th-5th density reality, therefore, it will deny its existence, ignore it, etc. until such time as a nightmare awakens the individual and changes its life forever.

Q. Do they live in the ether or just in our heads?
A. They live/exist everywhere. Ether is a term you use to explain the unseen. The unseen is only unseen due to your perspective and density. Beyond 3rd density physicality, many things are seen. Some of you speak of seeing auras, ghosts, ufo's, deceased relatives, etc. While these entities can not be physically perceived in 3rd density, they are perceived by the higher densities and can also be manipulated from the higher density realms. If you imagine that you are surrounded by things/thoughts by the instruments in your 3rd density vision, taken a step further, you are surrounded by things/thoughts that have no beginning and no end, they are infinite.

Q. What is that place in the brain that holds thoughts?
A. The brain does not house thoughts. It interprets the frequency of thoughts and therefore may be able to create images/things that these thoughts imply. And even in this case, due to the neurological character of this type of interpretation/communication between that which the brain receives as frequency impulses, the brain simply applies or extends impulses/frequencies that are/can be interpreted as thoughts.

Example, if a 3rd density individual is in a dangerous area, it may perceive the danger through a variety of frequency indicators that will alert the 3rd density individual that it is in danger. From there the 3rd density individual may use its ability to interpret/imagine what the danger is, and conclude any number of indicators that it will use to ascertain what exactly the danger is. In fact, if the thought/thing of danger had been left behind by another entity, and since thoughts/things are everywhere, the individual entering that time/space may feel it is directly related to them, when in fact, it was left behind by another. In this vein, it is extremely important to be able to sort through the frequency indicators to determine, which thoughts/things are self generated or imposed by an outside source. In the case of a paranoid individual, it is quite possible, that if the frequency of another's fears were arrested from the paranoid individual, they may indeed be cured of this and find the peace within that had been usurped by another's thought/things.

The pineal gland in the brain, is the base or interpreter of these impulses. It can coordinate these impulses into a steady stream outward or it can send this information into the physical body, causing other neurological changes in the physical body, i.e. fright/flight syndrome.

Q. Is it a certain portion/segment of the brain? If you cut it out, would folks not be able to think?
A. That is an interesting question. The assumption is that the brain is needed to think. Since thoughts are things and things are thoughts this implies a level of consciousness. Therefore, even an unconscious person or lobotomized person can employ the thought/thing processes in the brain. As stated, the brain receives frequency impulses. As long as there are frequency impulses, there is thinking. The idea, that the thinker need to be able to express what it is thinking is a misnomer. If the individual has made conscious connection with thoughts/things, then it can manipulate, move and change its reality as adeptly as another. Example, a lost individual thrust from a vehicle in a severe accident may be able to find their way "home" if enough thoughts/things were projected towards it and then direct that individual home. The individual, may awaken having no idea how he/she got there, but was manipulated through frequency/impulse control, presumably by their loved ones. This is a very fundamental example, but it is key in understanding, that the brain, while appearing inoperable is still able to receive frequency/impulses and respond to them by sending the information throughout the body, causing the body to respond without conscious effort on the part of the individual.

However, if the pineal gland is removed, many other functions of the body would shut down. The brain would continue to receive frequency/impulses but would have difficulty translating the information.

Q. Can thoughts be removed and replaced with other thoughts?
A. Thoughts can be manipulated. They can be muted but never removed. When muted the other thoughts of another can take hold and become the indicators of the individual thought processes. For example, thoughts of fear can be muted and replaced with thoughts of love. While the thoughts of love may prevail, the thoughts of fear have not been erased or eradicated.

Q. Can we think more than one thought at a time?
A. Another interesting question. In 3rd density reality, you have been taught that only one thing can occupy space at one time. Therefore, it is believed that no two things can exist simultaneously in the same space at the same time. What is left out of this equation is the fact that there are non-physical things that can exist all around the physicality at the same time. Inside and outside of the physicality. This idea gives 3rd density reality a linear vision of itself and its world. Creating a chasm between it and others. Thoughts are things, things are thoughts.. Just in that point, we see two things occupying the same time/space at the same time. The idea that only one can persists, removes the 3rd density individual from its Creator/Creative reality causing it to sink into a more concretized view of its reality.

For 3rd density physicality, it may appear that this is the way it is. But when 3rd density ascends to 4th-5th density reality, many thoughts/things happen all at the same time. Entities from the so-called unperceived realms exists in the same reality as 3rd density physicality. They simply are not perceived. The invasion that took place on your planet many thousands of years ago created this mindset because in order for the invaders to prevail, they had to remove those who were already here. Since this has happened over thousands upon thousands of years, it is written in the 3rd density conscript that no two things can occupy the same space at the same time. That is to say, that no two 3rd density objects can occupy the same space at the same time. The concept of infusion, emergence, singularity vs plurality, light vs dark, and other instances of domination over others has removed the idea of co-existence.

Third density reality is emptied from the realization that there are many things existing at the same time/space. That is the indicator of 3rd density reality. If it is physical, it is taking up physical space, therefore it cannot co-exist with another physical entity. There is no emergence, infusion or co-existence. There is only light or dark. In reality darkness is light and light is darkness, each containing the potentiality of the other. There is no light without darkness, there is no darkness without light. In the creation of this Universe it was not until there was the separation, light from dark, dark from light, that there was distinction. Before this distinction there was only VOID. Complete, united, full and always entirely itself. Within the void, the germination began. In the germination the rest of creation appeared, all from VOID.

So, yes, more than one thought can be perceived at one time. The perceiver can chose to entertain one thought or many thoughts. Singularity creates limitations on expansion. It also stresses linear thinking. Imagine, within a single seed is the potential of many expressions, leaf, stem, root, etc. If the single seed focuses solely on becoming a root, then the rest of the plant would not become. Creation is becoming and the ability to manipulate reality through thoughts/things manifestation all at once.

This is why human beings on your planet have difficulty with the idea of limitlessness, no time. You are trained that there is a beginning and an end, therefore you see progression of Creation as a singular occurrence, or an occurrence that comes step by step, in a linear fashion, one after the other. In fact, in the Universal sense, all things are at the same time happening together. Why? Because it is all Consciousness and Consciousness has no end no beginning. It is!! Always!! Forever!!

Q. If thoughts are ubiquitous, then where are they?
A. Thoughts are everywhere, all at the same time, with no constraints on their whereaboutness. Again, your planet has many limitations as a 3rd density manifestation, therefore, its inhabitants are struck with the belief that if something is there, it should be perceived and have a place of dwelling. This is only true on 3rd density planets like yours and others in the Cosmos.

Q. Can someone steal your thoughts and save them or store them for themselves?
A. This is impossible, for the simple reason that thoughts are everywhere, thus they cannot be stolen. They can be accessed. An individual can say, "I thought of that first." But they are merely expressing that they came to mention those words before another. The thought/things exist, whether they are perceived or not perceived. It is Creation, it is boundless Creation, it is everywhere, where there is any thing, at all. In fact, one person can have a thought/thing perception on one side of your planet (or off planet as it were) and another, from the opposite side of the planet can perceive it, can mention it, or can manifest it.

Reflect on this. There is a frequency that is surrounding your planet at this time. It is concerned with maintaining control over the masses. It has developed mind control techniques to capture thoughts/things in its frequency belt. It spreads these "captured" thoughts around your planet/globe. It releases it to be absorbed by your populous. Two things are being missed in this experiment.
1. Thoughts cannot be captured, therefore they are actually manipulating frequency in the outer fields, with the perception that they are capturing thoughts/things.
2. This manipulation is felt universally, since thoughts are everywhere. Then it is being perceived universally as an affront to the free will of the individuals of your planet who were given Free Will. The manipulators who secretly attempt to manipulate human beings on your planet are in full view of all others who can see their tricks.

In the mundane sense it may be perceived as though someone has stolen your thoughts, saved them or stored them for themselves. But in 3rd density reality, this is the only case where an individual can mistaken this type of theft or forgery. Since all is everything, and everything is all, no one thought belongs to another as opposed to it belonging to someone else. What is true is the individual's ability to receive the frequency impulse, transmute the frequency impulse and manifest that impulse into some physicality. In this way, it could be perceived as stolen, or stored, but this is a misnomer. How can anyone steal Creation?

Q. Is thinking a passive or active action?
A. Thinking is whatever you want/wish it to be. If you choose to be active participant in your thoughts, then so be it. If you choose to watch your thoughts pass by without response or analysis, then so be it.

Q. What about positive thinking?
A. Positive thinking is another very unrealistic prescription that has been put upon your peoples. What is that? How does that work? Too often your people are told to only think positive thoughts and then you will manage any life crisis that comes along. This leads you to polarization and away from balance. When you are in balance, you understand that positive and negative co-exist in the same reality. You can not live a life devoid of negativity, nor can you live a life full of positivity. They react to and on one another. Since negativity is so prominent on your planet, many are feverishly attempting to change it, create balance, by ignoring it. Negativity is as much a part of Creation as Positivity. Polarization to either side is not balance. Both must be understood and functioning in a balanced way in order to achieve optimum success on one's spiritual journey.

Q. What about visualizations?
A. Visualizations are imaginings. Imaginings are things. Things are Creations. Creations are thoughts. However, visualization without the power to manifest the visualization in one's existence is child's play, as perceived by those in higher dimensions. If you are visualizing, but you are not doing it as a Creator, then you have an image. An image that may well be perceived by another, and manifested in their life, as they had the skills/tools to manifest it in physicality. So, what you want along with visualization is the complete process of thoughts + things= Creation. if you are Creating, you must see yourself as a Creator. If you see yourself as a Creator - you must see yourself as Co-Creating in the Creation process of the entire Universe, that has never stopped creating itself. You must see yourself as the Creator/Magician/Phenomenal Being that you are.

Seeing yourself at a new job, on vacation, in school, passing a major test, having five children, is a subjective visualization. Here you are not utilizing your innate Creative powers, but waiting for the vision to "show up" at your door. It will not simply show up, it must be commanded to manifest. The Word must be given, this will be! As Co-Creator with all of the Universe, this Visualization will manifest in this 3rd density reality. Now you are actively participating in the manifestation of this visualization. You are Co-Creating your reality. This is done with intense focus, and concentrated thought. However, desire is needed to manifest and must be clear and sure. Desire is the motivating energy behind the manifestation of a thought. Desire is the motivating force that empowers thought through to manifestation. Desire must be directly clearly upon the thought/thing with the intent to bring it to manifestation. Thus another element is added, intention. All of this removes you from a spectator to a Do-er, Creator, Co-Creator.

Many may visualize and wonder why nothing happens. There may be several reasons for this.
1. Lack of true desire or intent
2. Self doubt or loathing
3. Karmic obstructions
4. Fear of success
5. Fear of responsibility

Q. What about visions?
A. Visions are the manifestation of unseen reality into the 3rd density reality. An individual may "pick up" a vision in passing, or may be an adept at seeing into the other worlds. They may be portends of coming situations, or they may simply be the formation of a being/situation not seen by the physical eye. They may come in dreams, day dreams or during waking activities. Some may be called de ja vu.

Q. Dreams?
A. Dreams are messengers from the soul, or they are the soul's travel through the dimensions 4-5th. Dreams also travel across timelines. They have their own laws and do not subscribe to the laws of waking reality. Dreams are thoughts/things.

Q. Intuition? Are they thoughts?
A. Intuition is also thought/things. They too are manifested from the frequency impulses coming into the pineal gland and are transmuted. They may be transmuted into images, feelings, perceptions, reactions and other impulses, stimulated by the reaction of the nervous system throughout the body.

Q. Can two people think the same thought at the same time? Or is it just an interpretation of sameness?
A. Since thoughts are everywhere, two people can indeed have the same thought at the same time, in any locale. It is the perception of the thought, the transmuting of the thought and the manifestation of the thought into physicality or thing(s) that determines whether it was the same thought. For example, perception, conditioning and training can effect the manifestation or expression of the thought. While in its purity it is the same, coming through the lens of each individual determines the outcome of its manifestation/expression.

Q. How can one master their thinking?
A. Mastering thinking takes conscious effort on the part of the Thinker. The thinker must know that its thoughts are things, and there is no separation between them. It must know that thoughts/things have always the potential to manifest as creations therefore it must be contemplated, "Is this thought/thing something that I wish to manifest/express?" If the answer is yes, than the thinker can go through the above mentioned steps to bring it to manifestation. If the answer is "no" then the thinker can decide to "mute" the thought/thing. One must remember that a muted thought/thing does not disappear. It is only inoperable in the reality of the said thinker. It can easily be "picked up" by another being or entity.

Q. What is the purpose of being a Master of your own thoughts?
A. The purpose of Mastering your own thoughts is to exercise ones Divine Will Power and Creative Co-Creative ability. Third density beings are programmed to believe that everything around them was Created by an outside force or being or entity, or God as you use this term so loosely. A Master of His/Her thoughts realizes that they are in constant commune with the All and are constantly present in the Creative Co-Creative Consciousness process.

Q. How do thoughts become things?
A. Thoughts do not become things, Thoughts are things, things are thoughts. If you wish to know how thoughts become things manifested in your 3rd density reality, then that is a different question and has been answered already. But to re-iterate.. it is through concentrated thought, intention, desire that thoughts become manifested things in the 3rd density physicality, like your car, your computer, your books, your buildings, etc. Each and all began as a thought, that manifested through concentrated thought, intention, desire into things in your 3rd density  Physicality.

Unfortunately, being so locked into 3rd density physicality, it is hard for you to fathom something happening out of thin air, as it were, without some physical thing making it happen. That is what has retarded your growth on this planet in the realm of Thought Forms and Things Manifestations/Creations/Phenomenon. Third density was not given the sight to see beyond the physical. It was given the potential to see. This potential is there in deep meditation. Transcendence beyond the physical constraints connects the consciousness of the meditator to the world and universe and everything in it. It gives the meditator the tool needed to get a glimpse of how the Universe was Created and offers the meditator an opportunity to Create its own Universe. Or at best, understand more deeply the Universe that it already is.

Q. What about the thoughts a person had years ago?
A. Thoughts that were perceived years ago, may manifest years later as tangible 3rd density things. And sometimes this may happen without the awareness of the Thinker. In a fit of passion the Thinker may have intended that its abuser burn in hell. Later in life, they may find that the hell manifested itself in the house of the abuser burning down to the ground while the abuser was inside. Here is where the danger lies.

Your planet was a thought in the Mind of the Creator Gods who consulted with one another as to how they would want to do this. When the regressive entities wanted to have a part in this process they were told they could not be a part of it. In essence, they were not allowed to project their thoughts into the plans of the initial Creator Gods. Crestfallen, these regressive entities devised a plan that would penetrate the initial Creation of your planet, and planted seed thoughts that would germinate over time, to create much of the chaos you see today. Because the initial planners were more focused on positive outcomes of their ingenious plan, they did not have a plan of how to work with predatory entities, regressives and the like. They seeded the planet and went on to other planets in their realms of Creation, leaving Earth with what you may call, a side-bar. Over time, those thoughts that were seeded into the Realm of Earth's Creation began to grow, and overtime, they created opportunity for other regressive entities to implant their thoughts/things frequencies in the Realm of Earth's Creation.

Earth was not a planet during that time as you know it today. Earth was of a much higher vibration but descended to lower more concrete vibration after the many invasions it was subjected to. It was the original plan for Earth to be a Beautiful Garden of Enjoyment for Stellar travelers over millions of years. But over time, it descended because of the regressive thoughts that were seeded into it. These thoughts provided the electromagnetic consequence for mind control and manipulation and ignorance of the life on this planet. Fortunately, in a short while this veil will be lifted, but the battle for the mind is very intense, and the thoughts of old are resurfacing to re-establish its dominion.

Q. What about implantation, voluntarily?A. Thoughts can be presented as implantations, however, they are merely catalysts for the thoughts that were already there, and muted. Since thoughts/things are everywhere, there is no new thought, there is only the replication of other thoughts. It is the consciousness of the individual who can remedy this situation. They can receive these thoughts and claim them as their own, or they can mute them, knowing they are there, but have decided not to participate in them.. During these times of mind control, it is very important to explore the thoughts as to their ability to move an individual forward. If these thoughts moves a person to action that is destructive then it is not of benefit to them. Thoughts that suggest physical action are lower level thoughts as they do not invite the individual to utilize it's innate power of actualization and manifestation through thought. Again, we mention how one can have a thought in a fit of passion and walk away from it, never realizing that the potential for the manifestation is very very high. For example, humans like to claim each other in fits of passion particularly while having sexual relations... Then after some time, especially if the relationship does not work out, they wonder why they are still so inexorably attached to the other person. Thoughts are things, things are thoughts.

Q. How does one use thoughts to change their reality?
A. If you realize that thoughts are things and things are thoughts, then focus on changing these thoughts and having them manifest as Co-Creation in commune with all of Creation, the reality around the individual can change. However, it must be done clearly and succinctly for best results.

Q. How does one use thoughts to master their reality?
A. This question has already been answered in the above transmission.

Q. How does one use thoughts to bring things they want or need to them?
A. This question has also been answered. But we must add that caution as to what one may want or need be brought to them. In too many circumstances individuals in 3rd density are seeking material wealth and gain, and not realizing that this materialism is the major stumbling block for them to attain higher levels of consciousness. But again, the Master of His/Her thoughts will utilize their power for whatever benefit that is seen by them, for whatever manifestation that may come to them. Thus being the Master, makes one responsible for the outcome and/or manifestation of their own desires.

Q. What is concentrated thought?
A. Concentrated thought is manipulation of various thoughts into one modality of expression. It is like pooling resources to one's attempt towards manifestation. If this pooling is variable, then the thought is not concentrated but carries all manner of interferences that can compromise the desired effect.

Q. Is that possible to concentrate on one thing?
A. Concentrating on one thing/thought is irrational. Because thoughts are things and things are thoughts, to chose one thing is to deny other things. It is best to compile many things into one thing, then to separate many things into counter or undermining modality. What we mean by this, is that it is foolish to believe that one thing exists without any other thing. All things/thoughts exist together. The focus of thoughts/things for manifestation is the initial intent. But one must understand that the manifestation may contain things that were not consciously perceived. Therefore, the manifestation/Creation will include many possibilities, many opportunities and many outcomes.

Third density physicality, wants to concentrate on burning a bush, but forgets that the burning of a bush will incite other reactions in the area or locale, i.e., a forest fire. Adding to this is the naivete that only one thing/thought exists. If in bringing something to manifestation with the intent to bring no harm, there is the benefit of conscious Creation without detrimental incidences happening, however, even in this, the detrimental incidences are there, whether perceived or not perceived. One cannot, does not exist with out the other.

Q. What are counter thoughts?
A. Counter thoughts are thoughts. In the perceiver they can be for the benefit of the perceiver or not. Example, a perceiver, may perceive the thought.thing to kill another. While in the midst of this thought another thought comes in to spare the person's life. While it is contrast to the original thought, it in and of itself saves a life, therefore, counter thoughts can be seen as alternate thoughts/things for a particular reality at a particular time/space.

Q. Should one protect their thoughts?
A. Since thoughts are things and things are thoughts, and thoughts/things are every where so to attempt to protect them may be futile. However, one can determine which thoughts/things one wishes to engage in and from there determine their impact or manifestation.

Q. Is that possible to be assailed by the thoughts of another?
A. It is possible to have the thoughts/things of another to awaken latent/muted thoughts one has entertained in one's one mind, heart, spirit. Thoughts/things are instruments, they have no value, positive or negative. They exist. They are every where. It is the individual who gives credence or difference to them. If other thoughts come into the mind of an individual, who feels they are not their own, they are correct, because thoughts/things do not belong to anyone. They are in existence and that is all. If the perceiver finds certain thoughts/things uncomfortable for them, they can simply mute them and enjoy other thoughts/things. However, they must remember that muted thoughts are not dead thoughts and that at any time, they may be awaken. In finality, it is the option of the individual to act upon these thoughts/things or refrain from acting on them. They exist, they are forever, they are everywhere. They are manifestations of consciousness.

Q. Does thinking require intelligence?
A. No it does not. What is intelligence? The ability to understand difficult scientific principles, or the ability to understand a persons connection to all things?? Third density individuals, place higher value on what an individual can regurgitate than in how an individual can connect to Infinite Consciousness. In connecting or being a part of Infinite Consciousness one is thinking. Whether they are graduates from an esteem college or university or a simple person living in a secluded village. What shows more intelligence, killing for the sake of conquest and dominance over others: or killing just enough to feed a family?
