Robert Henri, who was an artist to the core, it seems, was once better known to the public than he is today. He died in 1929, but these quotes from his book The Art Spirit have not dated in any way. And they aren’t about “art” as a profession, or even as an orientation, so much as about art as a way of living. Try these:
Every movement, every evidence of search is worthy of the consideration of the student. The student must look things squarely in the face, know them for what they are worth to him. Join no crowd, but respect all for the truth that is in them. [P. 106]
Do not be afraid of new prophets, or prophets that may be false.
Go in and find out. The future is in your hands. [P. 106]
Today must not be a souvenir of yesterday, and so the struggle is everlasting. Who am I today? What do I see today? How shall I use what I know, and how shall I avoid being victim of what I know? Life is not repetition. [P. 115]
Find out what you really like if you can. Find / out what is really important to you. Then sing your song. You will have something to sing about and your whole heart will be in the singing. [Pp. 125-126]
Don’t take me as an authority. I am simply expressing a very personal point of view. Nothing final about it. You have to settle all these matters for yourself. [P. 129]
Blunder ahead with your own personal view. [P. 129]
Use the ability you already have, and use it, and use it, and make it develop itself. [P. 166]
What I would say is that you should watch your work mighty well and see that it is the voice that comes from within you that speaks in your work – not an expected or controlled voice, not an outside educated voice. [P. 176]
Go to your work because it is the most important living in you. make great things – as great as you are. Work always as if you were a master, expect from yourself a masterpiece. [P. 178]
It is a mistake to think that spirituality is seen only through a mist. [P. 196]
Nobody wanted Walt Whitman, but Walt Whitman wanted himself, and it is well for us that he did. [P. 198]
Our education has led away from the realization that the mystery of nature is in each man. When we are wiser, we will not assume to mould ourselves, but will make our ignorance stand aside – hands off – and we will learn from ourselves. This habit of conducting nature is a bad one. [P. 199]
Do not let the fact that things are not made for you, that conditions are not what they should be, stop you. go on anyway. Everything depends on those who go on anyway. [P. 214]
The only sensible way to regard the art life is that it is a privilege you are willing to pay for. [P. 228]
Life is finding yourself. It is a spirit development. [P. 241]
Blunder ahead … I like that, could be my bumper sticker.
Continuing with my blundering … I add this quotation from the 13 Moon Peace Synchronometer …
Like the Earth, our body is ultimately a cosmic radio station, receiving and transmitting messages in every moment. The quality of the messages received is according to the level of our present consciousness. The access of higher dimensions is dependent on us releasing our old identities, habits and belief systems. Only then can we find the secret keys that access hidden gates and then enter the realm of the living Earth, solar system, galaxy and dimensions.
Understanding Time is the missing key for humanity to wake up and create a time of world peace. Time is not a quantity counted, but rather a quality experienced. Time is NOT what calendars and clocks make us think it is. Living according to linear clock time has led humanity away from its natural cycles.
Clock time compels us biological beings to live in a constant relationship with accelerating machine time. We humans are the only species in all of creation out of sync with time’s living cycles.
When a person, culture or civilization has every “minute” of their life determined by clock time, their instincts, intuition, telepathy and synchronicity will atrophy. Time is fractal and holographic. Time is not money; Time is Art.
Living in artificial time turns every aspect of life into a commodity, because it separates us from time’s living cycles.
Like gravity, time is an invisible, fundamental principle of the universe which affects space. Time controls, gives order to and evolves space through its natural cycles. Time has been controlled and manipulated throughout history primarily through the use of calendars and clocks. While some calendars helped to attune people to time’s natural cycles, others have had the opposite effect. Our present day 12-month Gregorian calendar can trace its roots back to ~5000 years ago, where it began in Babylon as a tax collection cycle.
Once humanity is consciously brought back into the correct timing frequency, our activity as a species will become increasingly artistic. Our connection to nature and our essence has been severed by use of an irregular calendar and mechanical clock. Living out of sync with natural time has created the systemic disharmony, war and pollution that continue to accelerate. How can we live in peace if we don’t live within a time of peace?
The Law of Time is a universal law and principle. It states that
1) time is the universal factor of synchronization and
2) the velocity of time is instantaneously infinite.
Time IS Art.
Thanks Paul, very nice indeed, and so far so good that is.
It is reminding me of The Self-Aware Universe, declaring that it is “the nonlocality of our consciousness” that provides the explanation. “The technical name for signal-less, instantaneous action at a distance is nonlocality.” (Goswami about OBE`s).
Then TIME must be “a science fiction” of the Mind (or maybe by the consciousness?)
Hmm,The Art of Science Fiction?
Woodhouse makes reference to the out-of-body experience: “Whatever it is that travels from a body to a target destination and back again has several key features: a sense of self, rudimentary cognitive, emotive and perceptual abilities, location in space, travel through space, and in some cases the ability to create physical changes in a target area. Thus, this traveling sense (actually stationary in no time) of self carries with it both conscious and energetic aspects. Something not normally visible to the naked eye, which also occupies space, would have to be energetic or force-like– whether or not it is currently measurable by physics.
Well, the conclusion must be that Time is nothing but science fiction, it moves no-where. We believes in us “moving about space&time”, when in reality (what is reality?), in us to be “stationary” in one “place”. F.Inst., if I am to have a flight to London/U.K., from Norway… THEN, it is only imagination, I am not “to go” anywhere, I am still in Norway (or Sweden)… even upon the arrival in London. Absolutely fascinating.
Not to mention the day long ago, when driving as Speedy Gonzales to reach a Ferry, because we were too late– and instead in using the ordinary 6 hours of the driving, did the distance in only 3 hours (which is impossible to do within “the ordinary” time-schedule)!
Eckhart Tolle once upon a time said: “It is only Here and Now.” What a mess!!(laughs).
LOL,Inger Lise.
Paul, it is excellently told, thank you very much.
And it can explain why Seth and several others (such as Acim as well) say “Time” is illusory.
I do believe it is true because of having experienced it myself.
Edgar Cayce often said “Mind is the Builder”, and likewise the famous quote: “A state of Mind.”
(Hm, as to recall E.C. again), and E.C., often said as well: “Thoughts are Things.” Which surely indicates “the individual” responsibility in creation.
We are constantly “creating” something, whether aware of it or not.
(ooops! WHERE came the last sentence from??)
LOL,Inger Lise.
Frank and Others,
Not long ago, you asked for us to suggest follow on topics, further questions for Rita (or the spring of wisdom that flows through her to you). As one who has been drawn to this material like a magnet, I often ask myself, why? What is the value or benefit or purpose of this greater knowing and greater understanding of reality? How does expanded awareness affect us individually and collectively in 3D, and how does it affect the greater part of ourselves in the non-3D? Am I just catching on to what the other parts of the greater me already know, or are we together becoming more aware?
As you and Rita have encouraged, I have had more than one session with my own “TGU” and have a perspective. However, it is only one perspective, and everyone else will have a different one, as will Rita no doubt. I would be willing to share mine and would be very interested in what others have on the subject.
If you and Rita were to address the subject, perhaps it would open the forum for discussion and provide the means for sharing and even the formation of a group mind on the topic.
The general question might be, “Why know, and why know now?”, or perhaps someone could formulate the question even better.
John
Excellent question. Let’s see how people react. I will pass this on to Charles, as well, in case he doesn’t see it here.
You are unique John in forming the right questions, thank you very much as always!
And I would also like (very much) to know why to know it now as well… is it because “Consciousness” has expanded “out-of-time-concept(s)” as it never was in the first place?
Edgar Cayce once wrote: We cannot “leave” the earth-cycle, without bringing ALL OF US together as One. Do not know if it is meant as “a group-soul” or “gathering the Fragments”though!
E.C.,talking about”clusters”of souls.
I wonder what Rita&You, Frank (and Charles) will come forward with the question from John?…eagerly waiting!
Wishing all Happy Summer-Days from “over here” (hopefully).
B&B,Inger Lise
I don’t know what Cayce meant, but from my new perspective, i would say that we “individuals” are actually so intertwined via shared strands that, in actual plain truth, we are all one thing. If so, then clearly part of that one thing couldn’t “graduate” (whatever that may actually mean) and part not. But that’s just a horseback guess; I don’t pretend to know. It IS a good question, isn’t it?
Absolutely a genius question by no doubt.
I have some rather peculiar dreams, impossible to know “where it comes from”…such as last night.
I was watching a man jumping on board a fishing boat (approximately in his late fourthies or early fifthies of age). It was winter time and it was pretty cold…cloudy and windy weather.
He was to participate on a fishing-trip to the Arctic Zone.
The most peculiar of”to feel”what HE felt about it.He had decided to partake as “a member of the crew “in the last minute.”
The ice-flakes laying in the harbor about the fishing boat,and it was
ice upon the wires on board(which must be removed). The scenario was “modern”,and the equipment “from our time.”
As you`ll know The Arctic is at the opposite side of The North-Pole,and here with us is it summer now(far from the North Pole that is,even the folks living other places believes mainland Norway is on the North Pole,and ice-Bears walking in the streets,Ha,Ha!).Well,at Spitsbergen and the Island of Svalbard(which also belongs to Norway)is it ice-bears of course.I have never been there.
:::Back to the dream again;the dream ended with the fishing boat leaving the harbor,and the sailor watching it all with the mixed feelings.
BUT,when upon the awakening from the dream, and half asleep”could hear somebody”saying in the ENGLISH language:”I love Marietta”.
When upon the awakening wondered if to have”switch over”(transmitted over) into”a radio-station”of some sort?Or,maybe has been connected into another “individual”consciousness?
And the name “Marietta” could be “a place/area,” or the name of a ship/boat,or an lady for that matter.
What`s “the use” of such dreams…I wonders?
Hmm,parallel worlds?I would fancy the adventures…but certainly not a fishing-trip in the winter time in The Arctic, that`s for sure(laughs).
LOL,Inger Lise
Obs:Not
“Ice-Bear” but Polar-Bear.
I`m mixing the words, because in the norwegian language The Polar Bears will be named as “a ice-Bear”.
BUT, I have got “a explanation”what the particular dreams are all about.
I was”told”…it is because WE are to recall “in to use use” The Inner Sight.In ancient terms “The Third Eye.”
And “The Third Eye”=”The Eye of God”….and nothing to do within any particular Religion but the ability within ourselves.
You have it printed upon the U.S. money-bills.
No doubt the american fore-fathers has been within the Masons.
B&B,Inger Lise.
Interesting Inger Lise, that our sleeping and dreaming time is being used to awaken us! A paradox I guess.
As to “The Question”, independent of whether it fits into Rita’s lesson plans, I believe it was meant as a “homework” assignment for me to struggle with, one that has many valid answers and will likely surface many more questions. The more of the “class” that thinks about it, the better.
John
Thank you for your questions John. I look forward to hearing different perspectives from the group and Rita & Frank on “Why know, and why know now?”
I have also been focusing on this “shift in consciousness”. I am putting together my thoughts and information so I can share when everyone else does.
It also occurred to me that the dream of Inger Lise (fishing boat/Artic zone) may be an example of this shift in consciousness. With the opening of awareness and the dropping of the veils within consciousness, may she be tapping into a concurrent lifetime of hers? She says “the scene was modern” and the equipment “from our time”. That expands the perception of other lifetimes (being past or future) to those lifetimes happening within the same time frame as the current life. Maybe it is another step in perceiving all time as simultaneous by experiencing in a new way that we are not separated by time or space or dimensions. These are perceptions. We are interconnected with all of consciousness.
Thank you Inger Lise and John for sharing. As always more food for thought.
Karla
Hello Karla and all.
I have found something VERY interesting in “Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of The Soul,” and quote (it is in Chapter 13, about Reincarnation, Dreams, and The Hidden Male and Female Within The Self.
Session 555, October 21, 1970:
…on page 185…”As I mentioned earlier, each person lives both male and female lives. As a rule, conscious memory of these is not retained. To prevent an over-identification of the individual with his present sex, within the male there resides an inner personification of femaleness. This personification of femaleness in the male is the true meaning of what Jung called the “anima”.
The anima in the male is, therefore, the psychic memory and identification of all the previous female existences involved. It contains within the knowledge of the present male`s past females histories, and the intuitive understanding of all female qualities with which the personality is innately endowed.
The anima, therefore, is an important safeguard, preventing the male from over-identifying with whatever cultural male characteristics have been imposed upon him through present background, environment, and education.
The anima serves not only as a personal but a mass-civilizing influence, mellowing strongly aggressive tendencies and serving also as a bridge both in communicating with woman in family relationship, and in communication also as it is applied through the arts and verbalization.
AND HERE IT COMES:
“The male will often dream of himself, therefore, as a female (or the female dream about “The Male”).
The particular way in which he does so, can tell him much about his own reincarnational background in which he operated as a female.
Maleness and femaleness are obviously not opposites, but merging tendencies.
The priestess, the mother, the young witch, the wife, and the old wise woman– these general types ARE (underlined in the book) archetypes, simply because they are “root-elements” representing, symbolically, the various kinds of so-called female qualities and the various kinds of female lives that have been lived by males.
They have also been lived by females, of course.
However, the woman do not need to be reminded of their femaleness, but again, so that they do not over-identify with their present sex, there is what Jung called”animus” or the hidden male within the woman.
I`m jumping a bit over to page 187:
Ideally, left alone, these operations would result in a balance individually and EN MASSE(stretched in the book), where aggressiveness was always used creatively, as indeed it should be.
The animus and the anima are, of course, highly charged psychically, but the origin of this psychic charge and the inner fascination are the result of a quite legitimate INNER identification with these personified other-sex characteristics.
Each inner self, adopting a new body, imposes upon it and upon its entire genetic makeup, memory of the past physical forms in which it has been involved. Now the present characteristics usually overshadow the past ones. They are dominant, but other characteristics are latent and present, built into the pattern. The physical pattern of the present body, therefore, is a genetic memory of the self`s past physical forms, and of their strengths and weaknesses.
I will try to put this as simply as possible. There are presently invisible layers within the body, the topmost layer that you are representing, of course, the present physical form. But enmeshed within within this there are what amount to invisible layers, “shadow,” (mhm,the mystical famous”shadows”) latent layers that represent previous physical images that have belonged to the personality.
They are kept in abeyance, so to speak. They are connected electromagnetically to the atomic structure of the present body. To your way of thinking, they would be unfocused. They are part of your psychic heritage however. Often you can call up a past strength of a previous body, to help compensate for a present weakness (obviously my dream was “to draw upon” the male energy…the need of more aggressiveness, ha, ha! But certainly NOT to do “a fishing-trip” in the Arctic.)
But, to be serious…I was pondering the dream, and the Seth-Book almost “fell upon my face.”
In the next Session 556:
“Reincarnational experiences are part of the framework of the self, a facet of the multidimensional reality of the living psyche. These experiences will, therefore, be reflected not only in the dream state, but in other layers of activity.”
And here comes something about “the reason” why.
Quote:
“There are many reasons why separation has been adopted within your dimension. The reasons have to do with the particular way which mankind has chosen to evolve and use his abilities, and I will have more to say regarding this point, but it does not belong in this chapter.”
Seth telling in the same sessions how no more “reincarnations”are needed.
Thank you very much Karla.
As always:”We are stronger together.”
B&B,Inger Lise.
O They are connected electromagnetically to the atomic structure of the present body. To your way of thinking, they would be unfocused. They are part of your psychic heritage however.

But certainly NOT to do “a fishing-trip” in the Arctic.)
When I read about the anima and animus in Seth, I didn’t understand it very well. This helps. Do you think what Seth is referring to here and what Rita discusses about “strands” are descriptions of the same concept of our psychic heritage? Were there initial incarnations where there was less psychic heritage and less “compensation”? I’m probably getting mixed up in time logic, but what Seth said does imply some kind of sequence.
John?
On page 19o/191, session 556, Seth Speaks continues:
“Symbolically speaking, the two together represent the whole self with its diverse abilities,desires,and characteristics.
Together they act as built-in, unconscious stabilizing factor, operating behind the faces of your civilization not only individually but culturally (F.inst.the diversity between “the western world” and “the far east”, not to mention the middle-east countries and Africa.
Seth continues:
“Personality as you know it, cannot be understood unless the true meaning of the anima and the animus is taken into consideration.
The reincarnational pattern is generally speaking an open one, in that within it there is room for diversity. Each whole self has its own individual characteristics. It can live its lives as it sees fit within guidelines. There may be series of male or female existences, unbroken. Such a choice has some drawbacks.
There are, however, no rules dictating the sexual development in varying incarnations, except that experience with both sexes must be taken on, and the various characteristics developed. This does not mean that equal number of male and female lives must be lived. Some, for example, find it far easier to develop as one sex or the other, and will need more opportunities for experience as the sex with which they experience difficulty.
The animus and anima become even more important in these instances when a series of one-sex lives are chosen. THE ORIGINAL PATTERN FOR THE ANIMUS AND ANIMA COMES FROM THE WHOLE SELF BEFORE REINCARNATIONS.
The animus and anima are born into the individual with the first physical life, and serve as an inner pattern, reminding the personality of its basic unity. Here is another reason for the strong psychic charge behind these symbols and the godlike quality that they can transmit and project.
The male yearns toward the anima because it represents to the deep unconscious those characteristics of the WHOLE SELF that, on the one hand, lie latent, and that, on the other hand, struggle for release.
The tension between the two leads him to temper aggressiveness with creativity, or to use aggressiveness creatively.
Now there are deep correlations between these symbols and the struggle in which mankind is involved. Your consciousness as you know it, your particular present kind of consciousness, is a statement of awareness brought about by a particular kind of tension, a specific kind of focus arising from the true unconscious of The Whole Self.” (meaning the conversation between Jane/Ruburt and Seth I guess).
Hm, it seems not to be “sequences” (we are under the spell in thinking in frequencies), but rather what we are “focused” upon?
IF “time” is”a frame-work-construction”, then, it cannot be otherwise than Life&Death are one and the same thing?
And now, at the age of 69 (going on to be 70 in late September) at last, to have understood (at least to believe it) the concept about “The Whole Self”… I`m tempted to say “allelujua”(hallelujah).
B&B to you and all,
Inger Lise.
P.S.It is the most chilly summer here with us in 30 years. I`m knitting sweaters in front of the TV instead (in the afternoon that is)…whilst my husband planting the new trees! Hm, I`m in the mood of rebellion (the aggressive creative forces).
The humorous side of life of course.
This is very helpful to me, as i STILL don’t think i am properly getting the larger picture balancing reincarnation and strands and the creation of souls. There’s either a piece of the puzzle still missing or i have misapplied what i’ve already gotten. We’ll see.
Inger Lise, a hint: If it’s too cold up there, come back in Virginia! 🙂
Frank (smiles) you are fantastic in every way without a doubt (truly).
Since right now came to recall the Edgar Cayce Readings all over again (when to read Seth), it occurs to me the truth about “you are the own creator (or something like it).”
I have pondered about “strands” as well.
Seth saying we are free within certain guidelines. Hmm, The Whole Self (is it the same as The Higher Self?) “directs” the common strands/-the sum total?) IF I have understood Rita “right” that is!
BUT here comes a dream I had many years ago, and still have vivid remembrances about (glued to the mind).
I have it written down in one of the old dream-journals, and it is obviously about the animus and the anima! I have never understood it properly before now:
“I was dreaming walking up the aisle of a Church, dressed in a long white wedding-dress (as a bride), but when walking up the aisle all alone was quite confused because my husband wasn’t there (wondering WHERE is my husband). The priest stood at the altar waiting for me. The Church was filled up with people but the only one I recognized was my late mother. When I was looking at her, she smiled back at me and nodded.
Thereafter (when coming up the aisle), and face-to-face with the priest… Then the priest began the wedding-ritual….But I was asking him, very confused, and said: Wait, WHERE IS THE BRIDE-GROOM, and by the way I AM married already (thinking about my husband) but he was certainly not there at all.
AND HERE IT COMES… still vividly remembered.
The Priest said to me firmly and clearly: “You are to become married WITH YOURSELF.” And then he began the wedding-ritual, with me kneeling at the altar all alone (and still then, very perplexed).
And ever since have wondered about the dream.
I was at the time (of the dream) 46 years old.
Gosh, it took a while to understand independence… hmm,after nearly 50 years of marriage….hallelujah.
B&B,Inger Lise.
P.S.EVER grateful to Rita&You,Frank.
Is it not said: “The revelation comes in due time,” (or something).
You bring back pleasant memories of a trip to Scotland in 2003, when my friend Michael Ross told me a dream from his childhood that he had always treasured but never understood. A while discussing it led him to look at it in a different light, reading it symbolically in a way he hadn’t, and suddenly he understood it, and it was no less magical, but now in a different way. Very satisfying. Hadn’t thought of that for a while, so thanks for reminding me.
P.S.
Frank,thank you very much…I would have loved to come back to Virginia…I am sending my”doppleganger” (the double me), for a visit (or perhaps the guy who wanted to go for a fishing-trip to the Arctic, he might have changed his mind about it).
A BIG SMILE.
LOL,Inger Lise.
Inger Lise,
Thanks and this does add knowledge. I reread last night everything Rita said about reincarnation. There are not necessarily inconsistencies but I yet don’t grasp enough of a greater concept that integrates the various perspectives: 1) from the individual unit, 2) the communities and 3) the wholeness that Seth speaks about. More gestation time needed on my part I think. I will do more homework with my own TGU on the subject.
John
Frank, I’m not quite sure what to do with the following, my own take on the question. I have put this on the explorer site, but there are those of us who have been following your lead on this site and if you feel it is useful for ongoing dialogue, do with it as you see fit.
Why Know, and Why Know Now?
To begin with, I believe the question was “planted”, not so I will ask it to get “the answer”, but so I will have to struggle with it and try to understand the surrounding questions that also arise from it. Further, I believe it is meant to be asked over and over as my own state of awareness changes.
I am one of many drawn to material about the nature of reality: Seth, Elias, Rita and Frank before and after Rita’s transition, and I have no doubts as to that being not accidental. It is purposeful. It is experience and knowledge that is up to me put meaning to.
What do I know about this knowing?
I know that my belief system has changed, not just once, but over and over as I spiral through transformation. Who I am, the nature of reality, my understanding of the nature of the entity I used to label as God, my relationship to the rest of consciousness, the nature of Earth Life, are all different. The differences are not just intellectual, because they have been reinforced via direct teachings, and visceral experiences. I do not perceive as I did in the past, and because of that I am myself different.
As our souls are forged by Earth Life experience, so has mine been affected by the nature of my knowing.
“What you call death, we view as consciousness expansion (awareness expansion)” , so said my guides. Rita has pointed out that our level of consciousness doesn’t change when we drop the body, but our awareness does. Living with our awareness concentrated on 3D Earth Life to living as a part of a greater being concentrated mostly in the non-3D requires transition. Some undergo this transition only after dropping the body. I believe I have chosen to start this transition while in the body and it will change the nature of whatever transition will occur after I drop the body, and it will change my initial post “death” experience.
Without implying purpose, two initial effects of knowing are: I will be a different completed soul, and I will experience a different transition.
I am also convinced that there is much more to this knowing, and that it is at a minimum necessary to try to perceive it as best I can from the viewpoint of the greater being that I am a part of.
From that perspective, I will be a different potential “strand” and a different soul than I would otherwise have been. That has implications to broader effects on the greater being than just myself. My own strands are experiencing this individually and collectively (me, being I think the collective). We are one with our greater being, so as I learn, there is learning going on beyond me.
“No part of consciousness, simply by being a part, can know the whole. Even though we can connect as a part, or better said, even though we can become aware of our connections and therefore experience greater parts of consciousness, we cannot experience all. So there is no part of consciousness that is not limited by itself, nor not naturally inclined to want to reduce those limits. So a model that says (we, elements of your greater being) know all and you don’t or can’t yet is not a good model. A better model is that we have broader perspective than you do.”
“And your question of what is the value of you obtaining broader awareness and higher consciousness, you could easily and inevitably ask (in the sense of our being the same thing) what is the benefit of us having broader awareness and higher consciousness than we do? Our awareness is broad, yours is purposely narrow but deep to bring experience in ways that we can’t without that depth. And you bring yourself, which didn’t exist before, but now does. And your perspective (and all others) have uniqueness.”
Does one part of the greater being’s consciousness teach another part?
“Is it really necessary to differentiate? There is higher consciousness, and there is benevolence from above to below, and lower consciousness is vectored from above. As a bird becomes ready to fly, we become ready to know, and the knowledge and use of that knowledge is applicable beyond physical life reality. As “a probe sent out in order to change the mother ship”, or “the chisel that forms the sculpture”, your perspective becomes the sharp end of the chisel.”
Birds incubate, crack open and extricate themselves from the egg, and learn to fly and be a bird. Have we been incubating, now cracking the shell to extricate ourselves so that we can learn how to be a creator, a godson?
“You already have all the capabilities necessary to become a godson, all you need to do is become aware of them and learn how to use them.” (A response I received months ago to a similar question.)
Why come to this awareness now?
“Because there is more benefit in this time frame to knowing versus not knowing. Not knowing brought it’s kind of individuality and uniqueness, or “purity”, having souls generated in an isolated and separated, almost “estranged” environment. Knowing knits us, makes us aware of our togetherness, helps make us whole. We want to be a whole consciousness with a variety of perceptions and perceptiveness. Your lack of interest in a traditional “heaven” or spending time in the Park is symptomatic of our movement to wholeness from a period of parts of us lacking awareness of that wholeness.
Another important aspect is the nature of Earth life experience when it is aware of it’s connections versus unaware. How can that experience not be different? How can that not bring experience and perspective that’s unique and beneficial to the greater being? Did traditional religion change the nature of Earth life experience for those experiencing a life in the last 2000 years? Those experiencing life in timelines before and after was and will be different, and that’s good. Compound souls emerging from a birthing process that has a vast expanse of experience from unconnected to connected, from superstition to knowing (albeit limited by language and space/time constraints), are beneficial to the becoming of the greater being. You are becoming, so by definition is your greater being. WE are becoming. Is there any part of consciousness that is therefore not becoming? If one part of a mind is becoming, isn’t that whole mind also becoming?
Not just becoming, but expressing. We are an expression, and we express, and we enable further expression.
Think about the concept of colors. Break white light up with a prism to see the individual colors and the infinite combinations of the individual colors and the combining of those colors in expressions that are countless and creative—out of something that was just white. Variation versus sameness. Variation is necessary. And if creativity is to be unlimited, then variation must be unlimited. A change in awareness brings variation to the soul producing process.”
Is there more that can be said on the subject?
“Of course there is. But within the constraints or limits set by what you have so far been able to understand, it (my understanding of the question) stands at the same state. Let’s call it an interim state. When you have spiraled further, more of the context will become understandable. It can only be expressed within the context your current understanding, as you are part of this process, not separate from it.”
At this point, there was a strong nagging that I was missing complexity and elements of understanding that were important, even at this stage.
Then this arrived:
“The complexities that you’ve been sensing around this question clarified somewhat in your mind this morning reading the May 18th session with Rita. For it is not possible to separate the “how” and the “why”. In that session, the “how” was summarized as “Divine Grace”, which from your existing viewpoint, is about as far outside your field of control as possible. The implication of this is that the Awakening, or maybe better said, “The Invitation to Awaken” cannot be either sought by the 3D self, or pushed by it’s non-3D components. All WE can control or affect is our openness or willingness to receive it; our acceptance of it. (Didn’t someone say sometime the only sin you really could ever commit would be to reject the invite?)
If you, and this “you” can be pretty extensive in this context, cannot have “control” in the sense of having an Awakening, can you then accept “vectoring” from further above?
So you can work to understand better the effects, as you have tried to elaborate above, and that is productive. However, the core of “why now?” and therefore also the “why?” itself, is above and beyond. And there will always be an above and beyond. So in spite of your desire, the very strong desire, to know and understand and decipher, one must also be willing to accept a component, call it for now “Divine Grace”, that simply arrives. And that will always be the case.”
