YOU AND YOUR HIGHER SELF ARE ONE

One last comment regarding another question: "Can what I planned
before incarnation be changed?" The answer is yes. In fact, it has
already occurred. Anyone born before 1985 who is still on the Earth
plane has already experienced changes in the original plan. This
change occurred and continues to occur on the soul level, the level of
your higher self. You in your human incarnation are not fully
conscious of these changes and what they mean. Where would be the fun
and surprise if you already knew what would happen?

You are certainly able to have discussions with your higher self.
Realize that your higher self is the director of your show, and you
are the star. You in your human experience do not have the wealth of
knowledge and wisdom that your higher self has in infinite abundance.
You do have access to knowledge and wisdom, but only on a finite
level. The amount of access, however, may appear infinite when you
access it. You can access it if you choose. Know that any difficulties
in accessing this wealth of information is simply part of your story,
your play.

Remember, you and your higher self are you. You and your higher self
are the components of the infinite God-self you are. The paradox is
that you are an infinite being playing at a game in which you forgot
you were infinite. As the vibrations of the planet have risen, the
vague memory of who you truly are pokes through as the thought: "There
must be something more!" You would not have this thought, you would
not be reading this message, if you were not to know this information.

Do you remember the myths of drinking from the river of forgetfulness?
You have forgotten from whence you came and who you truly are. You
are, my precious ones, infinite. You are, as many of you have heard
repeatedly, an infinite being having a finite human experience. The
difficulty comes when you do not realize to the depths of yourself
what this means. Relax, accept and trust. Then you can truly enjoy the
play. You also will be able to hear the gentle whisperings of your
higher self.

EXERCISES FOR CONNECTING WITH YOUR HIGHER SELF

Now for a few exercises to assist you in connecting with your higher
self. Begin with whichever exercise you feel drawn to.

1. Ask for the release of artificial encodements interfering with or
inhibiting your communication with your higher self. (If you are
familiar with encodement work, you may skip to the second exercise.)
For those unfamiliar with encodements, go into the back of your heart
center. Move deeply into this space until you come to your altar, your
sacred space. Breathe in and out of your heart center. When you are
ready, ask for the encodement technicians to come. They are there for
the asking, whether you feel them or not. Ask if there are any
artificial encodements interfering with or inhibiting your
communication with your higher self. If the answer is yes-and few of
you will hear no-ask what would be the consequences of removing the
artificial encodements. If those consequences are acceptable to you,
then ask that they be removed.

2. Ask if there are damaged or altered natural encodements interfering
with your relationship with your higher self. Ask that they be
repaired. For those new to the encodement process, use the same
process as above, substituting "natural encodements."

3. Ask if there are natural encodements preventing your communication
with your higher self. These natural encodements are not damaged or
altered. They were placed within because of the plan you established
before incarnating. If the answer is yes, ask if their purpose has
been fulfilled. If the purpose is complete, if you have received all
the learning you need to receive, ask if they may be removed. Enter
into your heart center from the front. Go deeply into that space.
While remaining there, enter your heart center from the back. Go to
your altar or sacred space. Allow your consciousness to move together
from the front and back of your heart center until you feel the
connection. If you cannot feel, see or sense this connection, simply
form an intention that it occur. Resting in this energy is a powerful
experience in itself. Remain here as long as you wish. When you are
ready, set your intention to form a clear connection with your higher
self. Allow whatever happens to happen. Know that even if you do not
feel, see, hear or sense anything, something is happening. Trust. Rest
in the energy of this connection.

4. Ask for the healing of your relationship with yourself. Once you
ask, be alert for healing opportunities. These could come through a
book, an individual, an advertisement, a dream or an inspiration. Trust.

5. Ask for the healing of your relationship with your higher self.
Again, be alert for opportunities of healing. Trust.

Re: Life... as seen from above - part 6 (final)

Hm, a good friend and I were talking about part of the theme of these articles recently: the idea that all paths are equally valid; that no matter what happens to you, it was what you planned. We have a few objections to the premise, actually:

1) it creates a reductionist attitude towards real human suffering, and --correspondingly-- allows for a negation of any personal/national/species responsibility. It may *feel* good to comfortable First Worlders to say the Thai kid who's been forced into prostitution since age 6 "chose" that, but such a result would strike most people, except for the occasional sociopath, as quite wrong. Thus, I truly suspect that these philosophies are created by people who can not tolerate ambiguity. Sometimes the answer to life's truly difficult questions really must be "we don't know." But for those who find those three words unacceptable, saying that everyone "chooses" their suffering is a convenient fall-back.

2) it contradicts the observed play of action/reaction, and/or karma, that we see it in this life. A bad action might well get pretty fast and intense feedback on Earth (yeah, I've had this happen, actually!), but if the guy passes beyond the veil, suddenly all his wrongs are hunky-dory?

To put it another way:
Do we really think that Pol Pot's energy is equal to Oprah's?

;P

O.K., I'll step off the soap-box now!

Re: Life... as seen from above - part 6 (final)

Well, thank you for your in-depth consideration!
Let me ask you a few questions, my dear friend:

When you have a bad tooth and you go to the dentist, do you go because you choose the suffering in his office? Or do you go becasue you choose the healing?

Imagine Jack and Tom looking at you through the dentist office window. Does Jack have a point telling Tom your suffering is real? Does Tom have a point telling Jack there is a larger reality of healing? Does Jack have a point telling Tom he has a reductionist attitude towards real human suffering? Who tolerates ambiguity: Jack or Tom?

Should somebody rush in and stop the dentist?
Should we attend or not attent to bad teeth?
Should we eat less candy?

Is the dentist's energy equal to yours?

I'm sure you see the analogy, and how the suffering<>healing and the choice<>consequence ambiguities play out.
It's all a matter of perspective.

Re: Life... as seen from above - part 6 (final)

Interesting analogy, but I'll have to respectfully differ on the application to the nastier sides of human experience. I guess it comes down to almost a predestination argument. With the dentist analogy, we're predestining our souls to whatever comes, no matter how big and bad, to create larger healing. A great model for some people, yes. Doesn't work for me, though. I believe in a more fundamentally random Universe, and actually get part of my sense of wonder from that very belief. Leaves falling in the intended soup, one might say.

Re: Life... as seen from above - part 6 (final)

You are free to differ, of course, and please do. We are all in the business of creating our own you-niverse, after all.

Even the "nastier sides of human experience" are just a splinter in the finger of the larger being that manages the Book of You, where each lifetime is but a chapter. And then there is a whole Library of You beyond that ... This larger perspective is no excuse to stand aside instead of help your brother and sister, but it does maintain that each being has personal responsibility and that - in the end - I cannot heal you, you can only heal yourself. Same goes for the doctor or the pill. "God helps those who help themselves." That's because you are God.

"With the dentist analogy, we're predestining our souls to whatever comes, no matter how big and bad, to create larger healing." As long as the healing is larger than "whatever comes, no matter how big and bad," then, yes indeed. Are there not many examples of this in daily human life, even apart from medicine? going to work? standing in line? giving birth? taking exams?

"Predestination" is only a choice made on a higher level. When my Soul chooses to experience a life of fame, then within this life, I am predestined to become a star. I could still exercise my "local" free will and choose between singing, acting, writing, selling, or even stealing, cheating, etc.

offered with much love
