Talking with Jon Holt just now, I realized something that perhaps I have never said, and that ought to be said. That is, there is a time in one’s life when things are possible and a time when they cease to be possible. Keeping that fact in mind may serve as an antidote to the temptation to give in to the idea of putting things off until manana.
Specifically, Intuitive Linked Communication. For several years, I was able to sit with pen and paper for an hour at a time, sometimes for as much as 90 minutes, then transcribe it. Can’t do that anymore. It struck me, talking to the other side requires a certain quantum of energy, and if you don’t have it, you don’t have it. Despite my occasional physical troubles, I was always endowed with a great deal of energy. Perhaps if I hadn’t had that naturally high energy level, talking to the guys would never have been a realistic possibility for me.
Moral of the story – one possible moral, anyway – is not exactly “use it or lose it,” but more, “use it before you lose it.” If something within you leads you to toy with the idea of trying your hand at talking to the other side on a regular basis, maybe it would be as well if you were to listen to the prompting.
Thank you Frank, and very true told indeed!
Good to know. Can’t say I’m happy to learn this, but good to know.
Few (particularly those ‘of an age’ like me) would argue with “use it or lose it” or “use it before you lose it.” But I hear TGU saying ‘slow down:’ it’s useful and instructive to consider ‘what it’, just as we’ve been cautioned to consider ‘which you’ …
One could see ’it’ as:
– sitting with “pen and paper,”
– working to translate what comes through to English,
– transcribing that text to computer formant and files, then
– posting and emailing those files to various destinations.
But guidance strongly asserts that, from their perspective, that is NOT ’it’!
We are being encouraged/guided/led to communicate with “the other side,” each in our own unique way. The Frank/TGU mind has given us a magical gift, showing there’s something there and connecting with it is possible, and ideas on how to work/live in that connection. I live life with guidance, every second of every day … the connection gives me energy, and the daily guidance makes life easier. I completely endorse Frank’s comment about listening to the prompting, whatever form it takes … it’s virtually certain that form will be unique to you!
As TGU said to Frank in one post: “We are always here, and we are always willing.” (italics mine)
Thanks, Jim. I am sure I have said this before – perhaps ad nauseum – but it helps a lot to hear that all this work changed people’s lives, opened up a path for them perhaps.
I am presently preparing three remaining books of dialogues with the guys for publication, but now I am getting that the guys have a very definite project they’d like me to undertake. I have had glimpses of it from time to time, but what I saw was enough to intimidate me. So now I have a better view of it, and it is even more intimidating! Just what I needed. I said, perhaps I have left it too late, and they said, perhaps just long enough. So, we’ll see.
I think I would paraphrase what you quoted: They’re always here and they’re always nagging. 🙂
Yes, I don’t mean to imply guidance doesn’t have their ‘druthers.’ I’d say don’t let them guilt-trip you … the Universe will survive regardless of your (or anyone’s) choices 😎.
Guidance has made what F/TGU says real and livable for me: we are here to choose and choose and choose. I’m rereading Sphere and Hologram; the intro reminds me of the magical working relationship you and Rita had when she was in 3D and still have with her in non-3D. Maybe she would share some of the work; might even be others (in and out of 3D) who’d be interested?
Jim,
They haven’t had conspicuous success guilt-tripping me to do anything! (Nor are they likely to do any better as we go forward.) What I have done, I have done from the fascination of it. If anything, they have been there encouraging me, especially in the days when I worked mostly in solitude, saying, “This is not a waste of your time,” in effect. My saying they are nagging was just another foray in our unending game of affectionate insults.
Your idea about Rita is an interesting one, and for all I know is already in the cards, though I have had no inkling of it. We’ll see. It’s equally possible that I will never get around to trying the big project they would like to see.
Hi Frank and all.
When reading these last postings came to be thinking about my 30 years study of the Edgar Cayce Readings.
During the five years of WWII Edgar Cayce got the advice by his own Guides to rest from his readings to all peoples all over the world. The parents and family memebers of all soldiers participating in Europe & Asia. Edgar Cayce felt so sorry for all of them as his own son also partook at the battlefields in Europe.
E.C. replied and answering hundred and thousands of worried letters from all over USA. Day and Night according to his coworkers.
It is told by his family more or less, E.C. died out of pure exchaustion in January 1945 only 65 years old. He never listened to his own Guides` advice “to let it be with the correspondence to heal himself.”
And again, this is reminding me about what Seth/Jane Roberts, to have told likewise:”You are not obliged to save the world but yourself.” I love that really.
But thanks a whole lot what to have learned by you and your splendid books Frank.
Love & Christmas greetings from Inger Lise.
Yes, I am well aware of Cayce’s bad example in that respect. For that matter, Jane Roberts wasn’t very good about following Seth’s advice about her own health. I sometimes imagine the guys sitting around upstairs exchanging complaints about the stubborn mules they try to help down here. In that, they have my sympathies!
I certainly am not about to work myself to death. In that, I am very unlike either Cayce or Jane Roberts (to put myself for the moment in elevated company). I am more likely to die of Aggravated Sloth. 🙂
I am so glad to read these comments as they have clarified some questions I had about your original post. I did catch your overall meaning (I am 72), but as someone who doesn’t know you personally, I wasn’t completely sure how or if you planned to proceed with your work and this blog. What you have to say is very important to me.
Seth does teach that impulses are guidance, but your living, current example as a contemporary whose writings just resonate with me was what it took for me to take my intuition and inner voice more seriously. So I owe you big time, Frank 🙂
Thank you, Ricki, I appreciate the acknowledgement. Let’s not forget the acknowledgement you owe yourself, however, for taking your intuition and inner voice seriously. Good for you!
