24 – The winter of ’64

(6:15 p.m.) Joseph, I set you off on an extremely interesting tangent – a tangent nonetheless – about Napoleon and Caesar. It certainly is persuasive, and of course since it can’t be verified I can’t choke up on it.

That’s right, but there’s more things in the world than can be proved, and anyway there’s a hell of a lot more that’s personal opinion than you’d sometimes guess.

So let’s talk a little bit about the winter of ’64, sitting in Virginia freezing our tails off waiting for what we hoped was going to be the last act. Continue reading 24 – The winter of ’64

23 – Caesar and Napoleon

[Sunday, January 29, 2006]

The events of the past few weeks have showed me that I was going about it all wrong – 180 degrees wrong – in trying to deduce past-life connections. In fact it applies to anything that is connected below (or above) consciousness. Search first – and you can hardly call it searching, it will be right in front of you – for what you resonate to. If you feel connected to the South Seas (I don’t) chance are that the South Seas are important to you. If you like cowboys, it doesn’t mean you were a cowboy – but look.

It’s only sense. I don’t know why it took so long to penetrate. Continue reading 23 – Caesar and Napoleon

A New Model of Consciousness in Space and Time – 3

This third post continues the information received in three sessions on the same remarkable day.

[Wednesday, January 18, 2006, continuing]

(9 a.m.) Beautiful day, and not only because of this splendid contact. All right, friends, so what is your proposed model.

The elements of this model have been given to you in bits and pieces over the past five years and more. Now we propose to put them together in a way much of which will be familiar to you (now) and some not. Continue reading A New Model of Consciousness in Space and Time – 3

22 – In for a long fight

[Saturday, January 28, 2006]

 

(8:10 p.m.) All right. Set pieces? I can hear a few of them. Gettysburg, Fredericksburg. Shiloh and the west, to Chattanooga? Slow-trot Thomas and Hood? The march to the sea? North Carolina? Or do you have other things in mind?

Other things, mostly. How could I give you a description of battles? You’d die of nerve strain, wondering if the detail would check out. But I can give you other things of value, and I will. Continue reading 22 – In for a long fight

Changing the Settings

You never know when a good idea is going to occur to you….

[Friday, January 13, 2006]

Would be nice to receive some clarity on the subject of Joseph Smallwood. With my receptivity to past life contact set now to 50% instead of 20%, that is a jump to two and a half times as open. Surely that should make a difference.

Rita suggested that I am not open to receiving information about female incarnations. Is this true? If true is it necessary? Another way of asking, what purpose does that serve? “How are you serving me?” If not true, why so many men and no information on the women?

Hard to answer when you are afraid of what you might hear. This is a defect of a commitment to openness (and why so few people proceed in this way!) You make your mistakes in public, and you can’t cover over what you’d prefer not to have known. But after all there is no reason why you have to make public anything you choose to withhold; it is a matter merely of squaring it with your ideals.

Well, I don’t know how well connected we are at the moment: I feel pretty drowsy, distracted. But I think it is a way of putting off the question.

Then, if you wish, ask something easier.

That’s interesting. I do see, it is a matter of “ask something easier” for me to allow, not, for you to say. Continue reading Changing the Settings

21 – Working your way backwards

After a long few weeks exploring various aspects of guidance, I felt ready to return to Joseph, resolved not to let the problems around verification prevent me from receiving the material.

[Saturday, January 28, 2006] 4:10 p.m.

— Joseph, I sure would like to hear your Civil War experiences, and if you will tell me I will listen and won’t try to correct you.

Well, that’s better. You take a lot on when you set out to follow someone else’s story, and don’t think I don’t know it. And for you who hates to be wrong and hates to mislead people, it’s a lot, and I know it.

You liked what I said about old Mr. A Lincoln, but if you stop a bit and think about it, there were plenty of facts within my opinions that might have been as wrong as anything. What we though of him might have anachronisms, you know. So it isn’t like you haven‘t been sailing into the wind all along, just that you didn’t quite see it. Continue reading 21 – Working your way backwards

A New Model of Consciousness in Space and Time – 2

[Wednesday, January 18, 2006, continuing the transcript of the same session]

Those who perceive spirit as one of the elements of a human being see it as an immaterial “something” that is necessary to life. No spirit, no life. Extinguish life, destroy the bond between body and spirit.

We have no quarrel with that view. In practical terms, “it works.” Continue reading A New Model of Consciousness in Space and Time – 2
