Now that we have agreed upon the desirability of recognizing that you are whole rather than good, we have to consider what that means.
It occurs to me, writing that, that Jesus somewhere said don’t call me good, there isn’t anybody good but the father. If I’m remembering that rightly, this would shed light on what he meant; no 3D person can be made up of good only. It occurs to me, too, that pretty nearly everybody ought to have non-3D connections with various kinds of Christians by now. It may be that this is how the thoughts and even the presence of Jesus are to spread to every part of the world, not in mere geographic evangelization, as the Victorians believed.
Let it occur to you, then, as well, that spreading influence by resonance in the non-3D is the only way to avoid all the inevitable distortion and politics that would accompany expansion through physical contact and persuasion and conversion and, often enough, coercion.
A sort of subterranean process continuing through history while the surface currents concern themselves with other things.
Yes, only don’t assume that the non-3D has as its purpose to make everyone Christian. That doesn’t mean that religions were failures or detours or conspiracies. But neither can they or any of them be a panacea, and this is of course the temptation for the religious. In paying attention to the words and the underlying attitude of Jesus, you are doing what you did when you read that book, so many decades ago.
Yes, I loved that book. It compared the world’s higher religions not by analysis or argument but by citing their scriptures.
Seek the truth where you can find it, and the truth will not inhere in rules and regulations, nor in prohibitions. It will inhere in certain statements that your inner self will recognize as truth. And how do you suppose your inner self does that?
The answer is logically contradictory, not that that matters.
That’s why we love working with you!
You’re welcome. But it is. The non-3D part of us recognizes truth when it sees it – and it ought to, given that it steered us to it in the first place.
Precisely. But let’s look at that just a bit more analytically. What you just said amounts to this:
- Your non-3D component knows vastly more than you can know consciously.
- It would be self-defeating for your non-3D to coerce your 3D mind, given that the whole point of 3D existence is conscious willing choice.
- Nonetheless some paths are more productive, more desirable than others from our point of view. Yet, we cannot constrain.
- Given cooperation from the 3D self, we can gently steer you toward truth, toward growth, toward fulfillment. We can’t force you to accept the gifts, but we can show you where they are. But if the 3D personality we are dealing with is rigid, how much can we do? If it is frivolous, how can we put its attention to subtle opportunities?
- What we can do is point you to whatever opportunity best harmonizes with your nature, so that you will be most likely to see and appreciate the opportunity.
- Once the 3D consciousness seizes the good (that is, focuses attention on it) then it is a matter of the 3D personality choosing to accept or reject, but at least the opportunity has been presented.
And one of the lures you use is our resonance to past-life (so-called) personalities.
Of course: 3D calls to 3D in a very specific way, as you learned while doing retrievals at TMI.
