80 - Look Before You Leap

Greetings this evening of your time, as you create time to exist. How are you all? [Fine!] Are you all alive? [Oh yes!] Oh, thank you.

Allow me to begin by entitling this interaction, “Look Before You Leap”.

Before proceeding to, perhaps, the main, very simple conceptual topic, allow me to first say, as a representative, as an ambassador, as a diplomat, of what you consider, from your perspective, to be an extraterrestrial society, to say that it brings us great joy to create the opportunity to interact with you in this way.

WHY DON’T THEY COME DOWN AND MEET US FACE TO FACE?

From time to time, individuals will inquire, “Well, why don't you just come down, land, say hello, face to face?”

Alright. Fair enough of a question. Therefore, we will address it before proceeding.

One of our primary understandings, as individuals, as beings, is the understanding that we, each one of us, create our own particular reality, completely, across the board, 100%.

Not that we have a slight degree of control of the things that occur to us in our lives, but complete creatorhood. Therefore, we, in being able to respond to any situation that we do create, maintain complete response ability for our creations. And in that sense, also understand that all other beings, all other life, all other consciousness, also create their own reality.

When one civilization is willing to honor this fact in another, it does so in the form of respect for your particular request and desire as a society, as a whole. Although you are individuals, you also create a society, a mass consciousness as well. Therefore, it is not our desire to, in that sense, impose upon your reality.

And in holding high regard for your own creatorhood, will, in that sense, shall we say, wait to some degree for an invitation en masse before we will proceed in that particular way. For it is not our purpose to, in that sense, create fear or insecurity. It is, on the other hand, quite important to us for you to understand that we do respect that creatorhood. We do respect your decision-making capability.

As a society, if you factor everyone all together, there is not yet quite the willingness to embrace the existence of the many extraterrestrial societies that exist. So, therefore, we respect this.

But, at the same time, we are able to perceive that there are many individuals who wish to interact with us, who wish, in that sense, to begin to exchange and share ideas with us. Therefore, perhaps, in a sense, you can say that this is our particular form of looking before we leap, the form before you that you know as ‘channeling’.

For it allows us to share with you our consciousness, to share with you our ideas, but always then leaving you the option to believe them or not. And this is very unobtrusive. This leaves you the choice. This acknowledges your creatorhood.

So, we, in a sense, will feel out civilizations as soon as we have the indications that, on some level, they are ready to begin to look at alien-ness and the idea that there may be other life aside from the life on that planet. And this is one of the many ways in which we have had success in communicating with not only your own, but many other societies.

Therefore, again, by convention, I cannot prove who I am, who I say I am. And it will always be up to you to believe it or not believe it. To take it one step further, it is not even a concern to me or us that you believe it or not. For in this format that you call discussion, in this format that you sometimes call discourse and exchange, the information that we wish to share will come out. And if it works for you, use it. If it does not, you will find something else. For you are perfect creators and always attract everything you need to create your life.

It is not our purpose in any way, in the creation of your lives, to distract you from your choice to be physical, your choice to be beings in this world. In that sense, you will find you are most effective when you remain grounded anyway.

Therefore, we remain unobtrusive and in the background in that sense, for now, but still allowing for the opportunity to interchange in this way. Therefore, if again, the information that we share works for you, please take it, please use it. It is the using and the doing that creates the life anyway.

But if not, you will still have gained the gift of understanding and the gift of self-discovery. For though many individuals will choose to define themselves by aligning themselves with what they agree with, also do you learn great things about yourself, self-discovery and exploration, through the things that you do not agree with and do not prefer.

So no matter what you choose, you simply cannot lose in this situation. If you agree with what we are saying and use it, you will benefit from that. If you do not agree with what we are saying and do not use it, you will have defined yourself still further. You will have explored that much more about yourself.

So simply, it is truly a win-win proposition. Allow us to thank you for that and your willingness to even think that it is possible to interact with us in this way.

The concept of looking before you leap is very simple, and in general, we have an affinity for simplicity, for that is what you understand best in terms of being able to apply it rather than creating a large series of steps.

Before we do proceed with the simple concept, however, allow us to provide a foundation in the overall method that you use automatically, many times, to create your life as we have said that you do.

You are pure consciousness itself and your body in that sense is not housing that consciousness.

You are not within a body. In fact, if you wish to be quite technical about it and quite specific and accurate about it, your body actually exists within your consciousness as an expression of it. Your body is your consciousness itself.

THE FOUNDATIONAL IDEAS THAT COMPRISE YOUR CREATION

When you become physical and in that sense decide to explore individuality in this particular set of parameters of your world, you do create in a very specific way. There are three foundational ideas that comprise your creation. And one, shall we say, overall concept that allows you to then bring them into your life.

The three ideas that comprise the prism that you are, are:

• your beliefs, your belief systems,

• your emotions, your feelings as you say, and

• your mentality, or your thoughts, the things you think.

One thing, in that sense, leads to the next.

• First, you have a belief. Whether you have chosen to believe it from options or whether simply that is what your society has taught you is the only way. It always begins by assuming a particular belief or belief system. But it does not end by any means there.

• For the next in the chain, so to speak, is emotions. You are quite emotional beings. You have many feelings, many expressions of emotionality.

  But very often it is not well understood that these emotions are always a response, always a result of a belief. No exceptions.

  Therefore, whatever you feel, ever, is always a response or a result of something you first believe. And you can always go backward, and in feeling something that perhaps you wish not to feel, say, “What must I believe to feel that?”. And if you are honest, you will nail down a belief and have your, perhaps in this case, limiting beliefs right there before you.

• But as you do believe and then feel, you then also begin to generate thought. Thought with that feeling behind it and that belief as a foundation.

These are the three ideas which you then use the fourth concept to midwife your reality, to bring it from concept to reality.

And that fourth concept is action itself.

You are physical beings in a physical universe for now, and therefore — your actions are the most outward manifestation of your beliefs, emotions and thoughts.

You literally act the way you think, feel and believe.

Therefore, the action step is, shall we say, the main deliverer of the reality, the main creation mechanism in the life that you are leading. Therefore, a simple suggestion.

When you act with a negative interpretation, “Oh, this is very bad.” You believe that it is bad. You usually feel, as you say, bad about it.

You think and expect, perhaps, a bad outcome. Therefore, when you act, it has to follow that you are acting with the subtle effects of that negative belief, emotion and thought, that negative interpretation. And when you act, as we have said, that is what creates.

All situations in your life, no matter what, no exceptions, are literally a neutral set of props with no built-in meaning. You assign the meaning. The meaning you assign determines the effect you get out because, as we have said, you then believe, feel, think and act that way.

If you have a negative interpretation, your actions will reflect this. And that is what brings you the negative result.

But because all situations have no built-in meaning, and you are the true assigners of that meaning, if you choose to be a bit more clever about it, you will always also find a positive interpretation, a positive reason that you have created it.

For all situations being neutral contain 100% potential for negative interpretation, but also 100% potential for positive.

You can think whatever it is you wish and not have it negatively affect your life at all. It is when you act, it is when you do something while thinking, feeling and believing that, that you get the negative effect.

Therefore, it is quite safe to look at anything within you, no matter how positive or negative. For if you are only looking at it, evaluating it, thinking about it, it has no effect and allows you in that sense to look at the issue. Again, when you act, that is what transforms the energy of belief, emotion and thought into physical reality.

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP

So, ‘look before you leap’ is a simple concept. When you find yourself in a situation whereby you have interpreted that situation negatively and you have a negative attitude about it, before acting, before doing anything, which again will bring you the result of that reality, allow yourself, perhaps as a game, perhaps as a challenge to yourself to — before moving, before acting, before applying —to always provide yourself with one positive alternative. “Well, alright, here is the situation. It seems quite negative. But before I do anything, allow me to look a little bit more carefully at what it contains. How does it actually serve me exactly the way it is?” And you will find this is not your usual approach.

So, when you assume and adopt that approach, you will find something, “Oh, I hadn't thought of that. In fact, it is allowing me to look at perhaps a particular issue, perhaps something that I believe that I wish to change.”

But always, if you give yourself the benefit of the doubt to provide some positive reason for any creation, then you have in front of you options. You are no longer automatically acting with a negative interpretation. You are giving yourself another choice.

Now, you may feel free to choose either one. And should you, in that sense, find a great deal of momentum behind the negativity, by all means, act. You will get the evidence that we have shared.

But very often, and perhaps most often, if not always, giving yourself the benefit of having provided the one positive interpretation and then putting them both on the table in front of you will generally result in it being far more compelling and easy and obvious and simple to choose the positive perspective. For neither one really has more weight until you assign the weight, until you assign that definition.

So in giving yourself the opportunity to provide another choice, in general, if that choice is from a positive interpretation, the result will be preferable. The positive choice will simply be preferable. “Well, I can do this, and I know this will make a mess of my life. But I can also do this, and oh, I hadn't thought of that. But perhaps that would, yes, have a better result”.

So the very simple concept that we are sharing is to always remind yourself when you begin to have the tendency to interpret something as negative, to remember that everything is truly neutral, that you are assigning that negative meaning. And that there is, as well, a positive interpretation, something good about it.

In, again, invoking and providing yourself the opportunity to drum up how it serves you rather than ‘why me’, you will provide to yourself a new, more preferable option that will yield the results you say you desire.

Is this understandable and clear? [Yes.] Alright.

We wish to keep it quite simple. We can, in that sense, make it more complex, if you wish. But in maintaining the simplicity, it makes it that much more easy, in that sense, to simply apply right now, from this moment forward.

CHANGING BELIEFS

Before we proceed, allow us to tie this into another idea in changing beliefs that you have that you no longer prefer to have. For one, perhaps, valid question that individuals in your society, from time to time, will ask, “Well, it is all well and good to find my beliefs, but how do I change them to the beliefs that I prefer?” Alright. Fair enough.

Understand, again, the original limiting belief only has an effect because after feeling that and thinking that way, you act that way. And that is the only thing that actually gives the negative effect.

YOUR IMAGINATION IS A TOOL

You have within your consciousness something that you call your ‘imagination’. Very often, it is utilized as an escape from reality, but it is actually far more than just that. It is a tool that is tuned to who you are and can be used in any situation in the following way:

• Once you have, in that sense, recognized that you have a belief that you no longer prefer to have, first of all, acknowledge it. You cannot change anything by denying it. Only by acknowledging it can you then equalize it to any other choice.

  Denial gives it more weight, more attention, more tendency to choose it. So by acknowledging the belief that you have, that is always the first step.

  You can only change a belief if you first are willing to own that you have it.

• Secondly, and this is where your imagination comes into play, you can provide to yourself a model of how to proceed by simply, in your imagination, determining, “Alright, what is the belief I wish to have?”

  By stating that belief, see yourself in your imagination as a person who already has that belief.

• You will then begin to feel the feelings, the emotions of that belief. Even just sitting there in your chair as a mental exercise, if you state the belief you wish to have and really say it like you mean it, you will begin to feel it. You will begin to have the emotion that corresponds to that belief.

  When you are willing to muster up this emotion, you will also find your thinking will change. And the very simple way to complete this idea is to simply ask yourself in your imagination, “How would I act if I believe this?”.

  By stating that you believe it and feeling it, it will be quite easy to see in your imagination how that preferred you moves. How do they hold themselves? What do they do? How do they interact with other individuals?

  You will see in your mind's eye how a person with that belief would act. You will also see that those actions are quite different from what you were about to do.

• The very simple last step is to simply do the things that are representative of the beliefs that you wish to have. In other words, act as a person would act that already believes that. This is how you already create your reality.

ACT PURPOSEFULLY, CONSCIOUSLY ACCORDING TO PREFERENCE

This is how you already create your reality. We are not asking you to do something that you are not quite good at. Simply, we are suggesting that you can do so purposefully, consciously, according to preference, simply because you wish to create the life you prefer.

So therefore, once you have acknowledged the belief that you no longer prefer and can see how it feels, how you think and how you act with that belief, provide again another alternative using the template, the mold, the model of your imagination, creating a preferred you as a reference, the referential preferential you.

See how that you acts in the same situation. The actions will be different. And then you will have, again, in front of you, upon your table, two choices. One, which will obviously yield a negative reality, and a new one that perhaps you would not have thought of, which once you see that it is even an option, will again be far more attractive to choose — “Oh, hadn't thought of that. Well, if I do that, most obviously, I will have a different effect than if I throw a fit.”

Therefore, before you act, before you leap —

• look,

• observe,

• provide alternatives,

• understand that you are the assigner of meaning and the meaning you assign determines the effect you get out.

The simple willingness to assign a new meaning will change the effect you get out. And therefore, there will no longer need be anything in your life that seemingly doesn't belong. For it only seemingly doesn't belong when you say, “Why is this here? Why me? Everyone knows that stinks.”

But the idea is that it is also serving you. When you say “Everyone knows that stinks.”, you do not use that creation and it hangs around. When you say, “Alright, obviously, this is something I would generally see as negative, but I know I am a perfect creator.

I know that everything that exists belongs. Therefore, how can I use even that seemingly negative creation? Oh, it does allow me to look at this, this, and that. Oh, now that I have seen this, I can move in a positive way.”

You can use all your creations by not assuming that they are extraneous.

WE THANK YOU

Allow me now to thank you all for your willingness to interact with us and the various civilizations that are, shall we say, listening in on this end. It brings us great joy to interact and to discover just how many more ways All That Is, which is our name for God, All That Is expresses Itself throughout the multiverse.

For your idea of universe, you will find is quite dated. There are many dimensions of experience, many different dimensions within the overall creation. So therefore, uni-verse in that sense is a bit of a limiting label.

Multi-verse in that sense is more of an acknowledgement of the completeness. But it always fascinates us to see any expression within the multiverse of All That Is. And you are such an expression.

Therefore, allow us, in interacting with you as equals, as a reflection, as a mirror, to once again express our unconditional love and appreciation and ask, how may I be of service to you?

Sharing!
