Ask The Guys Upstairs (TGU)

Yesterday I put all the 2001-2002 TGU sessions together into one file, which can function as a searchable data base. It occurred to me this morning that this may be as useful to others as to myself. If you’d like to have a copy of the file, send an email to muddytracks@earthlink.net. The only conditions of use are that you not publish the material, nor make any commercial use of it, and that you not pass it around without explaining where you got it.

R: Okay, this is another “return to” question. You said that you were about to get into deep water because you were looking for footprints of guidance for you and we were helping you do that. You said you found this puzzling and interesting. I’m not sure if the puzzle and interest were because we were helping you do it or because you were on your own, looking for footprints.

F: No, it wasn’t at all because you were helping us do it. We were very glad of that. It was puzzling and interesting because it was a degree of introspection that on the one hand we’re not accustomed to exercise, and on the other hand weren’t even aware that we weren’t accustomed to exercise. And our own thinking has clarified as we’ve engaged in this process. It’s really a wonderful thing. It’s remarkable to have the fireworks answering you. At this point it’s almost inconceivable that we didn’t always see it this way. The answer presumably is that lots of other parts of us did, but this particular cluster did not. But it’s so obvious now that we are monads, and as monads obviously there’s another level of complexity which would by nature not even be able not to direct us, guide us, impel us.

That is, just as there are individuals at your level who do no introspecting and are therefore unaware of the guidance that comes to them even from their own conscience, let alone other levels of their being, it is still relatively rare for people to be aware that they are interacting with other levels of themselves in other lifetimes. It is somewhat less rare for people to be aware that they are interacting with a form of guidance which whether they call it God or their guardian angels or their higher self, whatever they call it – many more people know that. But probably a majority of people in the west are unaware of this. And this is of course what makes their life so difficult. Continue reading TGU session 11-20-01 (2)

TGU session 11-20-01 (1)

November 20, 2001

R: Frank seems to have had a really good time at this conference he’s been to. [This was a Prophets Conference held in the Florida Keys the previous weekend.] 

F: As we did too.

R: Is there anything that occurred that he didn’t take note of that would worth mentioning?

F: Good question. Very good question. The kind of question you might ask every so often. We’ve encouraged him to say “what am I forgetting to ask,” you know.

Actually, not a whole lot, because he lived very nearly all of the time consciously connected to us. Which is one of the reasons for the euphoria, if we may say so. If there were anything that we would call his attention to, it would be that there was still in him the tension between “what should I do, what could I do?” “What’s desirable, what’s possible?” — that kind of thing. But actually that’s really not worth mentioning, because every time the temptation came up he made the decision to say, “no, no I’ll trust.” And it’s the first time that he’s ever done it for such an extended period of time. There’s nothing he didn’t see that’s worth talking about. The question will be more in his living what he knows now. Continue reading TGU session 11-20-01 (1)

Road Map

Someone said recently that she had come late to the discussion, and was having a hard time orienting herself in the material. I can certainly see how this could be a problem, so I promised to try to deliver a road map. Here is my first attempt.

In this blog, I am attempting to confine myself to what I know from my own personal experience. It is true that what we “know” may be wrong. Nonetheless, what we know from experience has more validity for us than things that we have merely heard, or read, or in one way or another have been led to believe, without personal experience having ratified it.

However, a good part of what we know from experience begins with the experience of resonating to something we hear or read. When I first read Carl Jung’s book Modern Man in Search of a Soul, something within me immediately said, “this is true.” He thus provided a link between who I was then (or rather, who I thought I was) and who I would become. This happens to us a lot. In relating my experiences, I am hoping and expecting to serve the same function for others. If they need to hear what I have to say, they will wind up on this site “by accident,” because our Upstairs guidance knows how to steer us to whatever influences we need. Continue reading Road Map

Black Box session 08-03-01 (2)

[change sides of tape]

F: [sigh] The thought came, “well, maybe that’s what’s wrong with my breathing,” and then as I started to say it, there was a wheeze. [chuckle] Too simple, maybe. [sigh] Now I’m freezing. [pause]

You gentlemen care to tell me anything that will persuade me whether I was making that up or not? [pause] I get a sense of them laughing at me. “Exactly what do you need?” I had a glimpse of a green grass field, seen from between – behind – green trees, but that’s all it was, just a little flash. [pause] I think I’m ready to move if you are.

S: Very good. Um, let’s move on then, on to 21.

F: Any suggestions you have, at any time, are always welcome. Continue reading Black Box session 08-03-01 (2)

Black Box session 08-03-01 (1)

After we finished the ten prep sessions  that stretched from September into November, 2000, Skip Atwater and I decided we would take a break before starting another series of ten. For reasons I no longer remember, that break stretched on and on, until Rita Warren gave me another prep session as a birthday present. today and tomorrow, I reprint the transcript from that session. After that, we get into territory that turned out to be much more intricate than anything that had preceded it. More intricate, and more important to others besides myself.
