the meaning of life

Friday, May 10, 2024

5:50 a.m. Good morning, friends. It is an underappreciated aspect of this work, I think, the uncertainty as to how to proceed. I sit down to resume and I see a binder of previous sessions and I have almost a moment of panic sometimes. “Where is the argument going? How do we proceed? How can I continue when I don’t know where we’re going?” and this after all these years of practice and reassuringly solid results. It takes a certain resolution, sometimes, to live in faith that the next installment will appear and that it will all hold together.

And in earlier days you used to wonder if you were making it all up behind your own back. You will remember Rita reassuring you that it was not humanly possible to produce all that “out of your hat,” so to speak. You used to pretend she was saying, “You aren’t smart enough to do that,” knowing that she wasn’t meaning that at all. But this is worth keeping on the record here, even though we are now sticking closer to the material and less to the process, because after all one important aspect of the material is the redefinition of what is possible to the average person. It won’t hurt them to remember that doubt and even panic are part of the process. Doubt and even panic are not important obstacles – provided that you resolve to overcome them! – but it is well to be aware that they are liable to crop up, from time to time.

I suppose they help keep us honest. Okay, then, why do we bother to choose, given that nothing lasts?

Ah, but you see, that “given that nothing lasts” is how life seems to you, but it stands reality on its head. Haven’t you conceded that all moments of time-space exist forever, even if only one such moment at a time can be experienced as a 3D moment? So how can you say, “Nothing lasts”? Quite the contrary: Everything lasts.”

Everything lasts and yet one’s pathway through it changes continuously, millisecond by millisecond. Take a moment to absorb implications here.

It’s jaw-dropping. Boy, when you guys get to tying up loose ends, you don’t fool around. On the one hand, every moment lasts forever. On the other hand, by our decisions, we construct a path through all those moments, a path we can alter at any time. You’re going to have to spell this out some. I can feel my brain exploding.

Bullets, then.

• All paths exist. All paths are good. All is always well. You create your own reality. All is one.
• These things cannot be understood while people believe time disappears, people are separate, and 3D life is as it appears. At the same time, they cannot be said in any way that makes sense to people whose mental world is composed of the concepts built on 3D senses and their perceptions, and the logic that stitches it together.
• Note, we do not say these things cannot be said. We say they cannot be said and heard from a stunted view of reality.
• What is the purpose of life? We have told you, to construct yourself – to continually hone yourself – by what you choose within narrowly constrained (i.e. 3D) conditions.
• And what is the importance of that? To continually create and re-create the world. Not the 3D world alone, not even the non-3D world alone – for neither of them exists alone – but the All-D that is “heaven and earth.”
• And how is that possible? It is not only possible but inevitable, because “you” as you experience yourself as an isolated 3D individual do not exist. You exist only as a part of a larger being from which you were formed. You are part of larger beings, and they are part of still larger beings, just as you may be said to be a binding element for smaller beings, and they of still smaller.
• Reality is all one thing, as the galaxy is all one thing, or a nebula, etc. Any level of abstraction is a sort of layer which you consider a unit because it coheres.

That isn’t clear. You mean, I think, that reality as a whole contains everything (obviously, by definition) but everything within it has a different specific gravity, so that in effect it forms layers of common content which we experience as relative units.

Yes. So you perceive classes of things, and what hose classes are depends upon how you categorize them. In effect, you create the divisions by recognizing them. [It occurs to me, typing this, maybe that’s what it meant in the Bible where God has Adam give names to the animals: Adam was making and recognizing relative units. Maybe.] Change your system of definitions and behold, reality looks different. Animal, vegetable, mineral, etc., and nothing wrong with the classification. But then look at the same phenomena in a different way and they are atomic bundles; look again and they are mind-stuff, slowed down for convenience. In that sense, the world is as you perceive it. Change perceptions (and change con-ceptions) and you experience it differently. In effect, you think of it differently and it changes.

Or we have an anomalous experience and we experience it differently and then our conceptions change.

It isn’t an “or” in the sense of a different interpretation. Both motions occur – perception sometimes leads, sometimes follows. A reciprocating process, as in so many things.

Now, pause. We would suggest, re-read. As Bob Monroe used to say on his tapes, we will wait for you.

Okay, done, though I skipped the angst and the part after the bullets.

You got what we wanted fresh in your mind. You see the point, here? Every moment is precious and yet every moment is only one variant. Your work at creating yourselves is critical to the existence of the world, yet, again, is only one variant. Your lives as individuals – to the extent that you may be said to be individuals – are your own business, and yet concern everyone.

Christians seem to think this is all leading to an end. I’m fairly sure that’s why the church fathers included the Apocalypse at the end of the Bible. But it isn’t really about leading to something at all, is it?

It is, and it isn’t.

Ah yes, “Yes but no.”

Well, sometimes that’s the only way to evade what seem logical necessities but are actually misunderstandings.

• Life does “lead to something.” This is the nature of honing what you are. It is the purpose of striving, of bettering yourself, of helping others. If it didn’t lead to something, what difference could it make?
• Life is not about “leading to something.” Every moment is; every moment always is. A man asks God who he is and God says, “I am who am.” He doesn’t say, “I am who I always was,” nor “I am who I will always be.” He stays in the eternal present.

I assume you aren’t saying the Bible’s account is to be taken in its own terms.

The Bible, like all scripture, is a set of accounts of people encountering something transcendent and reacting to the encounter. It doesn’t matter if they (or we) call that transcendence God or Waldo. You as transcenders must get beyond your allergy to scripture (without becoming slave to it) if you are to obtain a more sophisticated understanding. Do you suppose that we in these sessions can provide you with what scriptures can provide? What’s the point of having several vast libraries centering on precisely the things that most interest you, and never consulting it?

Next time we can continue to look at how life does and does not “lead to something,” perhaps.

Our thanks as always.

4 a.m. Very well, gentlemen, you’re up. Strands and ultimate time lines?

Remember we said “how you may wish to think of them.” We are revolutionizing the concept, but that doesn’t mean the new view is “right” and previous views are “wrong.” It is less about truth and error than about the new light shed on any subject by changing viewpoint. In practice, your view will be a combination of new and old. We’re encouraging you to make that the theory as well as the practice.

Viewpoint is not a zero-sum game. A new view needn’t discredit an old one, but may actually reinforce it, in a way, by adding nuance and explanation.

I’m certainly seeing that in my reading. I am bingeing on histories from the newly reopened UVA library, and as always it is surprising how a new view of a subject I felt I knew will show it in an entirely new light. I have come to see that we never really know more than an approximation, a shadow, of what really happened, and how, and why.

And if that is so of 3D subjects, how much more is it likely to be when dealing with subjects for which there is little or no sensory evidence. But this is not cause for mourning; it may equally well be considered to be Rita Warren’s definition of happiness, an endless research project with no need for writing reports.

However, having pointed out that a new way of seeing is not the same as a complete overturning of what you know, still it is true that it can be a revolution. So let us continue to revolutionize.

You have come to think in terms of alternate time-lines, alternate realities, creation or discovery of new versions of the future as created by your deciding this rather than that. This is somewhat true. However, it can be improved as a model. We could not have done this beginning with the generally accepted model of time nor the generally accepted model of what human life is. But now we can build upon the intermediate platform.

The change we urge you to try on is difficult to describe. We might say, exchange time for space in your model of how there can be infinite numbers of potential universes, each one created by choice – with, of course, everyone choosing. Consider that each of these versions exists sequentially rather than simultaneously. This isn’t right either, but we probably need to use this as a halfway-house concept.

• Begin with your current situation, whatever it may be. As a result of every background situation in your life, you are where you are.
• You make some decision, or someone else does, known or unknown to you.
• If it is you making the decision, the world changes (seen sequentially) or splits off a new variant (seen as simultaneously existing). This is you guiding your life by conscious or unconscious intent.
• If it is someone else making a decision that affects you, the world still alters in the same way (and may be seen either of two ways), but this is you being affected by “the world,” by life.
• In either case, you are now in a world different from the one you were in before you or someone made a decision. Did that new place appear from nothing? Or, did you move your awareness into a place that already existed? Or maybe, is it not a place at all, but a thought?
• We have occasionally described reality as a constantly changing light show, each flickering light being someone’s decision with its instant and its longer-range consequences. You will notice, we have not described it as an uncounted number of alternative light-shows.
• The world is mind-stuff, remember, not rocks in space. When you dream, does a change in the dream split off alternate versions of the dream?

You can see perhaps what we are now doing.

You seem to be tying up a lot of loose-end concepts that never fit together very well.

They each served a purpose of explaining this or that, but they lacked the over-arching concept that would make sense of them as a system. That is what we are about now. Only, don’t assume this new series will leave no loose ends. As we have said many times, you never get to The Truth; at best you get closer to it.

Now, perhaps some will be uncomfortable with a concept of perpetual flux rather than the seemingly stable collection of alternative realities. If you are one of those, deal with that discomfort: It will teach you something. But it is in the nature of life as experienced from a 3D background to change. Change, not stasis, is the default condition. That means that a model that considers alternative universes and parallel timelines to be simultaneously existing is less true than a model that we will try to describe. You might think of it as a level of reality in which any conceivable particular universe or timeline may be found in potential, not in actual.

I think you mean, it exists if we go looking for it, or happen to be plopped into it, but not otherwise. You seem to be saying alternative universes and timelines come into existence and go out of existence depending upon choices made. We never think of alternatives disappearing.

That isn’t quite the way to put it either, but perhaps between us we have sent out the spark that will lead some to an intuitive leap. The differences are more temporal than (in effect) physical. Yet this still doesn’t quite capture it. Perhaps best to say, consider the Buddhist emphasis on impermanence. It is not confined to 3D affairs.

It sounds almost like a two-dimensional table in a spreadsheet. If you read this one way, it is sequential, read the other way, it is simultaneous.

Yes, very good. And you have no good 3D models to use to get that concept across. Isn’t it interesting that you used as model an abstract concept that can be expressed in 3D logic.

Now, we recognize that this change in concept creates as many puzzles as it solves, but that is the nature of changing base camps. Given persistence, we will get to the goal nonetheless.

People may wonder what’s the point of life if it doesn’t create anything that lasts.

Yes. What’s the point of a kiss, or a sunset, or the taste of a ham and cheese sandwich, or the working of a crossword puzzle? And, indeed, to some people that question will seem to reinforce the doubt, because they already wonder why bother doing anything, when it won’t last.

And that’s our next installment? The purpose of choosing?

It may well be. We’ll see. But it is more important to clear away the aura of certainty that may grow around a concept than to replace the concept with another that will grow the same kind of moss.

And you are just the guys to set the stone rolling. Very well, our thanks as always.

6:50 a.m. “Our strands and how they change us, and vice versa, and why,” you said.

You tend to think of yourselves as individuals responsible for yourselves, and to some extent this is true. But it isn’t the whole truth. Once you grow into a wider awareness, you begin to recognize wider, deeper, responsibilities and opportunities. There is no useful generalization to be made as to how long this process may take, nor where it will begin, nor how it will manifest. Some are born knowing, you might say, and all their lives are a struggle for more clarity, wider application. Others may come in with little or no knowing, and have little or no interest or ability to draw connections. And, as usual, every intermediate position.

The differences among you don’t matter to your own “individual” task and opportunity. Wherever you begin, however you are constituted, however motivated you are to know more and be more, opportunities will be right there in your life, every day, and it is up to you whether you recognize them and choose to take advantage of them. This is one meaning of our saying that you are in 3D to choose.

(A word on choice: Choosing may be momentary or it may be continuous. If it is momentary, we call it a decision. If continuous, we call it intent. You all do both, of course, and one form does not obviate the others. Sometimes, it is true, they contradict each other, and this is not necessarily a disadvantage. There is such a thing as changing your mind, changing direction.)

But you do not choose in isolation, because there is no isolation.

Not mentally, no.

Well, not mentally, but what does that mean, when you look at it closely? What in you does the deciding? Is it not your mind, existing in non-3D and 3D both? Many factors in a decision relate to the 3D body, yes. But decisions are made and ratified and unmade by the indefinable you-ness of you, and that is not primarily physical, but mental.

Another way to say it would be that you are mostly mental, given that your body and its surroundings are also made of mind-stuff.

A third way to look at it would be to consider the physical component to be the slowest of the various elements comprising you. It is by nature more suited to function as drag than as pathfinder. It maintains the stability of whatever your life is at any moment; it does not, and is not designed to, pioneer.

Perhaps you have been reading between the lines, here, and  have intuited where we are going with this. Your life-shaping is much more complex than it appears at first glance. It goes on with the continual participation of everything you are, to greater or less degree, and to greater or less degree of awareness and choice on your part.

• “With the continual participation of everything you are,” in practice, this means the most appropriate, the most available, the most promising, for in practice nobody could actively incorporate everything, given that “everything” would mean the entire world, if examined closely enough. But to limit our examination to the most appropriate, available and promising extensions of yourself is not a trivial extension!

Whatever you are, however long you have been at this business of growth, however far you have to go to reach whatever goals you have set for yourself, you will still find more possibilities, appropriate, available, and promising. Surely this is an encouraging fact of life.

• “To greater or less degree,.” Not every moment is right for spurts of growth. Some times are times of consolidations. Sometimes you may feel that “Nothing is happening, and maybe nothing will ever happen again.” In such moments, merely live in faith that all is well. You will see that your life does not leave you in the lurch. When the grower is ready (we might say, paraphrasing the saying), the growth opportunities will appear.
• “To greater or less degree of awareness and choice on your part.” Just as “the times” are not always right for growth – at least, for any growth you can recognize – so your life’s rhythms are not always in tune with the form of growth you recognize. But, more than that, your baseline degree of awareness and choice will vary: by lifetime, by moments within that lifetime, by reaction to choices made. This is nothing to worry about, for it might equally be phrased, “You can have as much awareness as you really want, provided that you are open to waiting for it as well as working for it.”

Now, that lifetime of shaping yourself does not go on in isolation, as we said. This means 3D, not less than non-3D, interaction. Your everyday life continually feeds you opportunities to react in ways that aid your growth toward what you want to be, but they don’t force growth on you, you have to choose it.

Now let’s look at non-3D influences, which is what we have been building up to.

Your various strands are making choices just as you are, which means you and they are never dealing with a static situation, nor with a stable background. If the influences that yesterday pulled your toward A have changed what they want (in effect, have changed what they are), perhaps today they pull you toward B. And you have the same potential effect on each of them.

Consider this carefully. Take a moment, for it may not be at all obvious what a world-shaking redefinition of your life this is.

At one time, people believed that the earth, considered geologically, was solid, set, relatively unchanging. Gradually they learned that what seemed like interruptions – earthquakes, say – were in fact only particular manifestations of continuing processes of movement that had gone unsuspected.

It is the same with you. Your lives are not mostly static continuity with occasional disruptive moments. They are continual movement, adjustment, amid the pulling and tugging of various forces usually beneath your level of awareness.

Every aspect of your world moves. Every aspect chooses, moment by moment. Each aspect may at any moment influence your life, or it may not, but you can never be sure beforetime.

This has so many implications! Parallel universes, alternative life-streams, etc. you tend to think of another universe as “somewhere there,” but you could equally correctly see it as “sometime when.”

This is clear to me, but I doubt it will be clear to anyone who needs to get it via words rather than direct feed.

They have their own direct feed, of course. It is merely a matter of allowing themselves to heed it. Let’s just leave it that everything is in perpetual flux; there is no final state.

We’ve used up an hour, but have you gotten said what you’d hoped?

What we have said so far is not trivial. The longer you consider it, the more connections it will open up to you. Enough for the moment.

All right. As an aid to me, our next topic?

We will probably continue with this question of influences among strands as it affects how you may wish to think of alternate lives.

Our thanks as always.

7:40 a.m. Strands across time?

Consider several statements as they interact:

• The 3D conditions constrict experience to one time-space moment. This moment appears to be the only time that is real, the past being gone and the future not yet arrived.
• This situation recurs repeatedly, one moment at a time, relentlessly, each one now being the real and all other moments being nonexistent.
• Nonetheless, the mind can range not only into the past, but also the future, which ought not to be possible if future moments did not already exist.
• You in your present moment are alive, but “you” means not a unit but a community of strands, which may be thought of as past lives.
• You sometimes connect with living past moments and perhaps change them, perhaps are changed by them. This can only be done mentally, not physically, but it involves changes in the physical by way of the mental.
• Those other moments are not statues or pictures: They remain alive, as they were when experienced. (This is difficult to state clearly. Simply: No moment dies. Nothing is preserved like a fly in amber.)
• Ultimately, as we will show, everything is alive, no matter how it may appear. The world is made of life; there is nothing dead. Things appear dead when they cease to function at their highest level, but the materials of which they were made live, and whether you talk of radioactive waste or synthetic fibers or the granite that forms a mountain, at some level it is alive, because the world – the universe – reality – is not made up of some living and some dead things, but only of living.
• Death may be said to come to a level of organization. But even a corpse is made up of living bits; there is nothing else. There is no molecule, no atom, no “subatomic particle” that is not alive, and how can living things combine to produce dead ones?

Now, if everything is alive – and we wish language provided an easy way to assure that people understood “everything” to mean not just every thing but every process, every energy, every aspect of 3D – if everything is alive, and everything connects, you can intuit that the possibility of communication is inherent.

Everything connects. It’s all alive. It interacts. Therefore – where are the boundaries?

In our preconceptions, presumably.

Exactly. The only hard and fast rules for what is possible are those you construct yourselves, though in doing so, you usually think you are deducing them, rather than creating them yourselves or accepting the creations of others.

So, consider. The life you really live is much more wide-ranging then you realize. Say you are a compound of five strands (to pick a number at random). Each of those strands was – is – a life in 3D “somewhen.” Each lives in its own 3D time and also in every time connected to whichever beings (like yourselves) employ it as a strand. Try to get a sense of the dizzying complications.

I get a sense of the impossibility of spelling it out.

Fortunately, that isn’t necessary. We can only provide hints, to spark people’s intuitive recognition, but that is all that is required.

Let me take a crack at it, then. I can name some strands: A Welsh journalist and psychic explorer, a young girl from Eastern Europe, a Transcendentalist trader who fought in the War of the Rebellion, a medieval Norman priest, an Egyptian priest from times we don’t know of. There’s five right there. They are what their lives made them, and yet one of the things in their lives is their cohabitation within me, which I imagine gives them access to each others’ worlds as well.

That should be enough to convey the idea. If different continents, different centuries, different lifestyles were not enough to separate them, where is separation except relatively? And if they, being part of you, are part of the incarnation you join into as a strand [that is, my “next life”], there is no “end of story.” Life goes on, recombination does on, accretion of experience goes on.

All of it feeding back into the non-3D.

From every source, remember. Not merely from you because you are in the present. They too are in the present! So, an event, a thought, a fantasy, a problem, gets reported from the viewpoint of every element participating in it. If Frank goes for a walk by the river, it is experienced by each strand up and down the chain. And this is true of all, which is why it is usually below the level of your conscious awareness: The mass of information would make experiencing it chaotic. And, after all, you are in onetime-space for a reason. You were not designed to experience everything at once.

Now, we caution those who read this, don’t start building “can’t” and “shouldn’t” into this. We are describing the baseline situation. Ordinarily you don’t experience the lives of your strands. Ordinarily you may not even be aware of them, or talk to them, or hear them. That doesn’t mean you can’t or shouldn’t. Do what you want to do, go where you want to go, and don’t imagine us to be building fences around the permissible. As a matter of fact, every non-3D intervention such as ours is designed specifically to broaden your field of action, not constrict it.

That said, recognize how widely you already range! Do you think you will run out of new worlds to explore any time soon? And in the first-hand exploration of the newly found abilities is your future. We don’t say life is a school, but it does have one school-like aspect: You continually move to more complicated things as you master old ones. More complicated means more interesting, more difficult, usually both more painful and more life-enhancing. You never stay the same except when you wish to take a breather.

And this means, periodically you need to update your ideas of what is permissible for you. (You can’t generalize too much about others. Everyone else is moving too, and you get little more than glimpses of who, what, and where they are.) Old barriers dissolve, new difficulties arise. It is inherent in life.

What you may not have considered is the effect of your connection – via your component strands – across time and space, which is the same as saying across civilizations.

You affect them. They affect you. (How else could it be, given that you and they are the same organized being?) The interaction always occurs beneath your level of consciousness, as we said. But it is always possible to raise some specific part of it into consciousness. The chief requirement is your intent.

By the way, this is equally true on other ends of these chains of being. The medieval monk may bring your existence to mind; so may the injured soldier in his delirium. In those cases, as in yours, the major variable is how the contact is conceptualized. The Tower of Babel refers not only to the confusion of tongues at any given time. It also refers to the confusion of concepts that render men strangers to each other.

This will have to do for the moment.

It felt like a struggle a couple of times. Continuing with this next time?

Probably we will move on to how this stitches reality together, but, we’ll see what the moment brings.

Very well. Thanks as always.

4:45 a.m. You said you might want to continue with our strands and their ongoing life.

At other times, we have gone into the way language gets between expression and meaning and understanding. The description of time provides a good example of the difficulty. How can there be only “the eternal now” and at the same time all these separate moments of space-time? How can every moment be alive even though it is not in your present? The ambiguities and false rigidities inherent in language make it difficulty, particularly when non-3D (non-sequential) realities must be described in 3D sequential logic. The only way we know to use with you is to describe around what cannot be clearly said, repeatedly, from different angles, until hopefully you have enough points of data for the overall shape to insinuate itself into your understanding. Other non-3D people, dealing with other 3D people, use different methods – paradox, poetic allusion, various tricks – to accomplish the same thing. In all cases, we are trying to get around the limitations inherent in sequential exposition. Naturally, direct mind-to-mind contact obviates much of this difficulty, which is why there really is no substitute for personal instruction, which blends unnoticed non-3D to non-3D communication with the words.

In the absence of personal instruction from one 3D individual to another, personal contact from one 3D individual to its non-3D component will convey direct understanding, but still there will be the problem of turning what is then known into a form that can be communicated to others.

If you were dependent upon 3D sequential exposition for your understanding of “the way things are,” how far do you suppose you would get? With the best intent and the clearest intellect and the widest learning, you would still be severely handicapped. Your conclusions would probably be very logical, very consistent – and would miss the mark widely. Fortunately, you are not restricted to 3D input only. However, if you do not recognize the extent to which you rely on non-3D input, your ability to employ such access is likely to be severely limited by your very logical but incorrect assumptions.

Thus, in examining your composition as it functions “between moments of time” (as it seems to you), it is necessary to clarify things that language distorts – using the same distorting language! Hence, your part in this, reader, is to deliberately intend to remain open to your own non-3D component to feed you understanding as we go along. This is a straightforward process and yet also one with inherent potential pitfalls. You have to do two things at once:

• Absorb the material while testing it, sort of, with your non-3D knowing.
• Watch that your preconceptions and preferences do not sneak in, disguised as intuitive knowing.

It can be done, but it doesn’t happen automatically. Every philosophical or religious teaching ever put forward has seen perversions of its meaning by people who thought they understood (if only because it “felt like” they understood it), but in fact were mingling these new understandings with their previous understanding.

Well, who could avoid doing that? Your gift is what you bring to the moment. But a certain vigilance on your part is prudent. It is so easy to receive a new orientation only in a way which leaves you comfortable in the place you started! That is putting new wine in old wineskins, and may not turn out well for you. However, as in all things, you do have your non-3D component to help you through difficulties. We mention the problem only so that you may have it in consciousness, where it is easier to deal with.

This may look to you like a long parenthesis, but in fact it bears directly on the question of the seemingly contradictory descriptions of time.

From a non-3D viewpoint, all times exist, and therefore all times are alive, because there is nothing dead anywhere. From your limited 3D viewpoint, the present moment (which is continually being exchanged, one for the next) is the only living moment, all others being “past” or “future” or perhaps theoretical, such as alternative time-lines.

You in 3D, being inherently also in non-3D mentally, can and often do experience time in either of the two ways. Therefore you conceptualize time in the two ways, which can lead to confusion. For our purposes, it is necessary that you conceptualize the non-3D’s vision as unhampered and the 3D’s as partial. To cling to 3D explanations is to forfeit the greater understanding that can come only from a different viewpoint added to your previous one.

From our viewpoint, life looks like this:

• A 3D human is a soul composed of various strands learning to live together as a new unit.
• Each of these strands may be seen as a past soul, with all its experiences, its willed changes, its values.
• Consciousness within the 3D life is not unitary any more than the strands are unitary. It is the product of cooperation and contention among the strands.
• Such ongoing relating among the strands may change the new soul. It may also change the older souls, the strands.
• The “present moment” is the only place that changes can take place. From any 3D perspective, there is only one (changing) present moment, hence only one time that offers promise, offers life.
• Yet in reality, every moment is a living present-moment, for all viewpoints are the result of perspective, and in the absence of limitations there can be no one-and-only perspective.
• Therefore, you see, every thing, every when, every “past” or “future” moment, is alive and changing. Everything affects and is affected by everything.
• And therefore, every moment is potentially a fulcrum from which to change everything past or present. If this sounds wildly unstable, remember that every other moment is also a fulcrum, and the result is a form of inertia. It takes a lot to revolutionize anything, let alone everything. But
• Everything is alive. Every moment, every “thing.” It may or may not seem that way to you, but if you meditate on it, it may come clearer. There is nothing dead. How could there be? There is only change (when viewed from a limited 3D-moment).

We know that is a lot to take in, and the more awake you are to the implications, the more is involved. But it is important that you take in as much at a time as possible. Real comprehension comes not as a slow product of logical analysis but as a sudden connection of what you are consciously centering on to what your non-3D can tell you. It is a combination of sequence and gestalt. The greater the number of things in mind, the greater the potential “Aha!”

That will be misinterpreted, I’m afraid. I know you don’t mean that a process of memorization is involved, but people may semi-consciously move that way.

When we say keeping a great number of things in mind, we mean, considering various bullet-points together, as opposed to considering any lesser number of them. However, each person will have  different amount of things that can be absorbed at once, and of course different non-3D input. Honest intent is the key. Given that, the rest will follow.

And there’s your hour. We have scarcely begun on the influence of strands across time, and have not yet begun on their part in stitching together 3D reality, but (within 3D sequential exposition!), one thing at a time.

Well, our thanks as always.
