7:45 a.m. Setting switches to maximum focus, clarity, receptivity, presence. Gentlemen, your discussion yesterday was very interesting to me. We in 3D as limitation on you in non-3D. Who would have thought? Yet – remembering that we are you and there is also here, it does make sense, more so than trying to keep things separate.
And this is why you in your time may hope to understand things that have never been understood before.
My mother used to say, “Never is a long time.”
So it is, but there’s a reason there is a word for it.
Now, consider:
- Truth at any given moment is not necessarily truth at every other given moment.
- Relationships change, totalities change. People grow individually and culturally and racially, and that growth changes things.
- What you are determines the limits of what you can come to know. Your circumstances, your environment mental and physical, it all limits your extent. What did Abraham Lincoln know of the Spanish-American War?
- Every obstacle overcome, every enjoyable experience lived through, every self-discipline incorporated into your being, adds to your library of experiences, and, most important, your library of third-tier
- What was the absolute truth in the past is not necessarily the absolute truth in the future, for – things change. More to the point, what may be known by any 3D person also changes. This refers less to facts than to ways of seeing.
- The Buddha provided a terrific expansion of human understanding, unsurpassed in his day. It is not the final word. Neither is Taoism, Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Jainism, Shinto, vodun, you name it. Each makes a contribution, each embodies a highest truth as it develops – but unless they can grow to meet changed reality, they fall behind – and change to a religion’s core beliefs is what, if not heresy!
It comes down to this, and here is the burden and opportunity facing every 3D being: You may be the next one to see deeper than has ever been seen. If that is so, do you have no responsibility toward that discovered truth? Things are true today that were not true before. Even unchanged things may now be seen in ways that could not have been envisioned before, which will seem like the same thing as seeing something new. There is no final truth even for the most diligent explorer. You need not fear finding out everything and then being faced with a future of boredom. Life changes, moment by moment. So, in effect, the rules of life, and the boundaries of life, and even in a way the ends of life change, and there’s nothing wrong with this and a good deal that is right and hopeful about it.
Thus, communicating with the non-3D results in scripture that is not scripture; in truth that is not “the” truth; in discoveries that never cease to lead onward for those who wish to pursue them.
So to keep this severely practical, as you are repeatedly reminding us –
You are alive. It is a new day. You did not come in at the end of the play, with everything already discovered, everything already thought. Life is as real and as promising today as it ever was – and this was true and will be true for any day you ever care to imagine. So, live like it!
It is a freeing thought, that Buddhism, say, is valid yet not the final word.
It should be even more so, for you children of the West, to think of Christianity that way, for that is your spiritual heritage.
Looking at it as a system of ideas and perceptions and conclusions, rather than as a system of prohibitions and regulations, I can see that it needs updating if it is to be relevant to new ways of seeing the 3D and non-3D interaction. But I don’t know that I think it can be done. Too much drag on the infrastructure of the more organized churches, and too much bullheaded independence on the part of the unorganized ones. I keep falling back on Jung’s statement, which seems to me obviously true (yet, why obvious? Still, that’s how it strikes me): The gods never reinhabit the temples they once abandon.
Now you must decide how much to say of your experience yesterday.
I have always been reticent in discussing experiences involving other people, but I suppose the time for such reticence may have passed.
When we were boys, my brother’s best friend, who lived across the street, was Joe Holzer. Joe grew up to become a nuclear engineer, then, in a rather unusual career change, became a psychic and a healer, and a damned good one. During the years when I would travel to trade fairs for Hampton Roads, I would extend my trip to see Paul in Petaluma, and thus I got to meet his friend Don James in San Francisco, as well as reconnect with their mutual friend Joe, who was living nearby – in Berkeley, maybe – at the time. I remember a couple of truly remarkable afternoons together in Dons flat – Paul and I, Joe and Don. Don and Joe had learned many things, at the Berkeley Psychic Institute, for one thing, and from the Reverend Joseph Martinez, and elsewhere. Paul had kept pace with them and I had my Monroe experiences, but mostly, I think the four of us connected internally, drawing on threads from other lifetimes.
My brother and I are as close as ever, though separated by the width of the continent. Don died a few years ago. Joseph Holzer maintains a vigorous healing practice from his home in the Netherlands. Neither Joe nor I could remember the last time we had met in person, but it was certainly not less than a decade and might easily be more than 15 years. He travels to California occasionally, or did pre-virus, but not to Virginia, and he and I haven’t happened to be at Paul’s at the same time for quite a while.
Paul, knowing of my physical difficulties, asked Joe to do a healing session with me, and yesterday that’s what he did, via GoToMeeting, for more than two hours. I don’t intend to discuss the physical problems per se unless it becomes relevant, but – well, let’s see. What do you see as relevant here?
Surely it is the element of your story that shines light on “what is” for others.
Yes. But – how much? And how?
You’re doing all right. Start with Luxor, maybe.
Hard to make a coherent description. Bullets wouldn’t convey much.
Trust the flow. Begin and as usual what is relevant will surface and align itself.
Easy for you to say. (Smiling.)
[Pause]
Real resistance to starting this. Maybe another time.
Merely give the most inadequate sketch; it will serve.
If you say so.
Joseph saw the genesis of certain things as having been in Egypt long ago. There was a conflict of priesthoods, each seeing things differently, and I imagine seeing their opposite numbers as evil or misguided. Something was done to me to hinder my operation upon rebirth. That’s one way to put it, anyway. We got that this was at Luxor, some 6,000 years ago, and it is only recently that the energies of the universe came around again to provide a chance to undo the damage. Jupiter and Saturn conjunct in 1 degree Aquarius, I think Joe said, and that happened apparently last year sometime, at the time these problems began to become unmanageable, forcing themselves on my attention.
I don’t think this is the crux of what is to be conveyed. In itself it is only a “past life” story. But the technique Joe showed me – demonstrated with me – may be the point. So now I have to consider: Is it something to be shared, or something to be shared with only a few, or something to be held close? I’m not going to continue until I get a knowing on it.
So what was today’s theme, guys?
“Freedom is in the growth of truth.” A little clumsy, perhaps; you are welcome to improve on it.
Thanks as ever.
11:20 a.m. But I see I didn’t do a competent job of even sketching the situation. Luxor was important for more than one reason.
- It is where I was sick for one night (on our boat, moored across the river) and so didn’t accompany our group on a tour of the city, the only city I missed.
- I took photos and when I came home I attempted a couple paintings from the photos, but one that was an artistic failure, but still draws me, is of Luxor seen at night, the moon rising above the city. I showed Joe the painting and he saw great sadness in it.
- It was at Luxor, Joe got, that the conflict of priesthoods occurred, and I was sabotaged, and where perhaps he and I were colleagues in those days.
