74 - Interactive Reflections

Transcripts for the two introductory talks...

(please let me know if you find any errors)

Greetings this evening of your time. How are you all? Are you all awake? Oh, thank you very much. Allow me to begin this interaction with the entitlement, “Interactive Reflections”.

First of all, there is a common notion upon your planet, in your society—it is, by the way, not unique to your society, but a bit, shall we say, rare in the overall scheme of things from our perspective—and this is the notion that your life happens to you, that you exist within a life.

One of the things that it is our pleasure in that sense to share with you, is that from, again, our perspective, more appropriately could you consider that your life does not so much happen to you, but actually through you or from you.

Another way to put this is, again, sometimes you believe that you exist within a reality, and that is one perspective, one particular point of view. But, another point of view, perhaps you can say a bit more of an expansive point of view, is that the reality exists within you.

Anything that you perceive to be external to you is literally existing within you. And, therefore, again, from the perspective of seeming to exist within it, all the external ideas, all the external events, all the external places, all the external seeming people, are but reflections of ideas within your overall consciousness.

Therefore, one of the reasons we entitled this interaction, “Interactive Reflections”, is that being that they're reflecting back to you portions or ideas within yourself, they are doing so for a reason. They are doing so in a particular timing, by definition.

Our suggestion is that you can interact with these reflections. You can allow your becoming aware of them to be the action of the reflection, but your willingness to glean from any reflection then allows you to act on what you learn from it. Because it all does exist within you, anything that exists, any of these reflections, belong. There simply is no such thing as something slipping into creation. It is either there, or not there. All the things that exist in that sense, exist.

So therefore, you may understand that there are no pointless creations. There are no extraneous creations. There is, however, the tendency to label something as extraneous, which is then not using something that you are reflecting back to yourself in a positive way.

Therefore, allow us to begin by saying that there are no pointless or extraneous creations. And any reflection, any idea that you become aware of in your life, you can use in action in a positive way.

Now, all situations within your life have no built-in meaning. You supply the meaning. And, according to the meaning that you supply, you then get an effect out.

So perhaps something happens, it has no built-in meaning. But you decide, perhaps because societally it is a tendency in a type of case such as that, that ‘this is bad’. When you do, and then act with the premise that ‘this is bad’, you can only get from that neutral symbol, with no built-in meaning, a quote-unquote bad, seeming effect.

But it also works the other way around. Because they have no built-in meaning and contain equal potential for positive and negative interpretation, you can always, even if you initially label something negative, always remind yourself that this is a reflection within me. That all the reflections that I create have a reason to exist.

If I now begin to consciously decide to use this, I can now, rather than looking at “Why is this happening to me?”, have the perspective and point of view of using the reflection by simply deciding to glean “How is this of service to me?”. For you're approaching a reflection from the point of view that you get to choose how to label it, and therefore get to choose the effect you get out of it, always gives you in any given circumstance the option to ask “How does this serve me exactly the way it is?”.

You create these reflections, again, to mirror back to you ideas within your consciousness.

And when you use—interact with a reflection—you allow it to deliver its positive message. In a sense you can say the true reason that you created the symbol is fulfilled. So therefore, many times individuals will create the idea of seeming repetition of negativity in their life.

Now understand, from our perspective each time anything occurs it is a new event. And also do you make a connection to a past by labeling it that way. But each event is discreetly a new. If it seems to be coming around again, here it comes again, it is truly a new creation. You are giving it the significance, you are giving it the connection, to the old unpreferred idea.

But, you can use this as well. For understand that all symbols simply are a reflection of a message. And if you get the message, then there will not seem to be a repetition or a representation of a similar seeming symbol.

Now very often individuals will begin to look at this idea and they will say when a particular symbol comes along, “Well on the surface it means this, this and this to me”. And this is of service to them perhaps and they learn from it.

However, sometimes they will perceive that it keeps coming around. Now again it is a new creation but may seem very similar to an old reflection. We understand this. Therefore you may assume the following when this occurs: not that you have not gleaned from the symbol something positive, but that whatever you are assigning as that meaning, for that symbol, if it seems to keep coming around, is not the only meaning.

And a symbol seeming to repeat after you have looked at many issues tells you that you need not keep giving it the same label. For you have already looked at that label. So it gives you an opportunity to assign a new meaning. And, if you are creative about it, and really are honest with yourself, in a given moment, you will find the meaning relevant to that moment. And if you get the message that you created the symbol to give or reflect back to you, the symbol transforms and no longer seems to come.

One of the keys to doing so is to remain as you say, ‘in the moment’ about it. For example, a particular scenario comes along which you say “Here that comes again. Now I have looked at this symbol, I have gleaned many meanings from it, but here it comes again.”

Our first suggestion is to remove saying ‘here it comes again’ and say “Here is a discrete reflection occurring right now in this moment with these set of parameters that are in my life right now. Now perhaps on the surface it seems similar to something else, but let us put that something else aside for it is not relevant to right now.”

Once you have done so you are isolating that reflection in the moment. And it has come to you in the moment because that particular moment is precisely the most conducive moment for you to glean from the symbol and transform it. So simply, you can say to yourself, if you wish, “How does this symbol serve me exactly the way it is, exactly right now when it is occurring?”

Removing again any references to a past which is the only thing that creates the seeming continuity to the past. Is this clear? [Yes] If not we will discuss it in the interaction.

But again understand that you are all reflections to each other. We only in interacting with you are reflections to you of what you already know. For you can only perceive something if you first contain, it otherwise it would make no sense at all.

If you ask a question, you already by definition contain the answer and are simply phrasing it or placing it outside of yourself for outer validation. But obviously, again, when someone comes along after you ask a question and gives an answer and you say “Oh, that is right!” How did you know? You only knew because you already contained the answer.

Therefore, in interacting with you we are not truly teaching you anything you do not know, we are reflecting back to you what you feel will benefit you to interact with, but in a way where you still have the removal—one step of responsibility—and that you are seeking that validation from us, quote unquote externally.

That is one way to learn.

And, in fact, now that you recognize that everything is a reflection, simply by treating it this way you are equalizing yourself with all the reflections in your life. Again most obviously, if you look in the mirror anything that is reflected back to you is exactly equal to who you already are.

Therefore, allow us to thank you for allowing us, and enabling us, to reflect back to you. For as we reflect to you, you also reflect to us and allow us to see just how many more ways All That Is, or what you call God, expresses Itself throughout the multiverse. For there are an infinite number of expressions of All That Is, and each time in that sense we are presented with another one, that's that much more of ourselves that we are aware of.

For we also understand, from our perspective, you are but reflections of us as well, and this is one of the basic paradoxes of creation. For you all create your own reality, and everything within that reality is but a reflection of you. But the paradox is this is also true for all other individuals. And, from your perspective sometimes this can seem a bit overwhelming, a bit confusing. But All That Is is infinite, and you are a finite exploration within infinity.

So finite exploration translates pretty well to infinite consciousness, but infinite consciousness by definition has a certain difficulty in translating into your finite consciousness.

So when you find something that appears rather to be ‘this or that’ and find that it is this and that, you are beginning to skate on the edge of non-physical reality and that paradox is an expression of the infinite nature of creation. So therefore, you are each at the same time creating your own reality, but so is everyone else.

And from each one of your perspectives, as you grow, as you expand, as you begin to integrate the reflections back into you so that they are no longer separations but integrations, it will always seem as though all of reality is merging into you. But again, paradoxically, this is true for everyone else. So nothing is ever lost. Individuality, at least in the overall sense, is maintained and this is true for everyone.

One last idea before we proceed to the interaction, being that this is perhaps a conducive atmosphere to discuss this briefly. You have what you call animal consciousness upon your planet and we wish now to draw this into the main theme that we are discussing.

For animal consciousness is a reflection within you, although it is manifested as a consciousness reflection. So therefore you can understand animals as well to be symbols of ideas that are within you.

Now there are some general overall mass agreed upon ideas of what a particular symbol will stand for, but in the overall sense that can be as individual as there are individuals.

So there are some common themes into how individuals will interpret these reflections, but there are, shall we say, quite a bit of the interpretation that will simply be individual. So what a particular animal might mean to one person, may simply be different from what it means to another. But both are correct for both are reflecting back to themselves, and only can you in reflecting back to yourself get a reflection of a portion of yourself.

So the reflections of you are appropriate for you. The reflections of someone else are appropriate reflections for them, and it need not be that it is this or that. It can be both.

As we have also shared, the ultimate truth — very often individuals in your society will say well what is the ultimate truth? But paradoxically again the ultimate truth is composed of all truths, and the mere leaving out of one of those truths then does not make it ultimately the truth.

So therefore all truths are true to those who believe them. All belief systems work for the individuals that exist within them. By beginning to use your reflections in a conscious way you will reflect back to yourself many things. Very often, as you are beginning to take back your power and decide to create your life according to preference, you will give yourself the opportunity, in perfect timing, to reflect back to yourselves the limiting beliefs that you still hold that, when you transform, will allow you to begin to realize experientially that you do create your own reality.

What accelerates this process most greatly is your willingness to use those reflections. To interact with those reflections. Not just simply have them be nice ideas, but when you glean something from them ground yourself and allow yourself to see how you can use them. How you can do something about what you have learned from any reflection.

Once you do something, apply what a reflection brings to you, then it transforms and then it becomes part of you and not separate from you, needing to reflect back to you. So your willingness to use all your reflections, use all your creations to see what you still believe that limits you is the liberating notion— for only only only can you change a belief that you hold if you first own, acknowledge that you have that belief. By simply denying a belief and acting according to the preferred belief, the denial of the old belief holds it firmly in place and you cannot, as you say, escape that particular belief.

But by acknowledging your old unpreferred belief, seeing how it has allowed you to feel think and act, acknowledging that you have felt thought and acted according to that old belief, realizing that it is all right that you have done that, stating the new belief, projecting how you would then feel think and act with the new belief, and then acting like a person with the new belief having acknowledged the old belief, this is the simple way to change a belief.

But again you will never do so by denying a belief that you hold. And, if you do, that is not the end of the process, for you will then —anything that you deny—you will then reflect back to yourself in some way that you are still denying that, and give yourself the opportunity to look at that belief.

Many times the reflections that bring to you your most limiting beliefs may, on the surface, look like events which are negative, but your labeling of those events as negative in the past put them back into the closet of denial. Your willingness to use the reflections in a positive way now allow you to own and acknowledge what you already believe.

Individuals in your past have feared to acknowledge what they already believe not understanding that that acknowledgement is the liberation from that idea.

For it is not the mere having of an belief, emotion or thought that creates the reality into your life. It is the actions that you take having that belief, emotion and thought as a premise. So you need not fear your thoughts, you need not fear the reflections but simply not be willing to act until you have acknowledged an old outdated belief, chosen a new belief, so that your actions are then reflective of the new belief.

So therefore you can evaluate any idea you wish no matter how negative and never have it affect your life in that it will become an experience. However, the moment you act, the moment you do things with that negative belief as a premise, it subtly by definition, affects those actions and those actions with that affectation is what gives you the negative result.

By using all your creations and realizing there are no negative creations, only negative interpretations, you do not keep stuffing your beliefs back into the closet of denial. You acknowledge them, choose anew, and transform them. For the acknowledgement of the old belief equalizes it to all other ideas, giving you then equal choice or access to all new ideas.

Again, the denial though it would seem to give it less weight, actually gives it more, places more attention upon it. So therefore interact with your reflections. Allow them to deliver to you positive messages.

Allow everything that you create within your life to be of service to you. Then act, and this is interacting with your reflections, interactive reflections.

For your willingness to interact with us in unconditional love, in exchange and willingness to exchange information, ideas, concepts, feelings, beliefs that you have, we thank you and again revel in interacting with your consciousness in this way.

May I simply ask you now how may I be of service to you? Sharing.

———————

All right, I'll say, before we continue, allow me, to ask you, a question, all right? [Alright!] Are you having a good time? [Yes!] Oh, thank you very much.

Do understand, it is possible in your life to create joy and ecstasy, and only experience those realities when you begin to be willing to validate who you are, rather than who someone says you should be.

By following your own inner knowingness in the form of your excitement with your integrity, the face of your life then begins to change and fall in step with who you know yourself to be, rather than, again, who everyone else tells you, you should be.

When you do so, your experience within your life is interpreted as ecstasy, and your willingness to use all your creations in a positive way and simply assume that everything fits, everything belongs, everything has a reason, and begin to look at why you created it, rather than denying that you did, you begin to create a momentum as the feedback, in that sense, corresponds to your willingness to validate who you are through your excitement that we call “the ecstatic explosion of coincidence and synchronicity”.

For very often you do attract the things you say you desire, not in the obvious way that you think you will attract it, but by coincidence, which doesn't mean accident, but simply incidents occurring at the same time. Co-incidence.

Coincidence is the path of least resistance and will generally deliver to you what it is you desire, though perhaps not only in an unexpected way, but far sooner than if you rigidly insist you will only accept it in one particular form.

Your willingness to broaden your definition of what you will accept in your reality will begin to allow the universe, once again, to deliver things to you over and through the path of least resistance, which again may seem from your particular perspective of consciousness like ‘coincidence’.

This is synchronicity and your willingness to acknowledge that everything is synchronicity, but not stop there, go the next step to act that way, then gives you the results of knowing that everything is synchronicity; then allows you to begin to see why and how things serve you. But it will always boil down to your willingness to act, for you always act anyway on something.

One other idea. When you decide to change, when you make the decision that I wish to change, all that you need do in that sense to realize that change is to trust that you have changed and then act as though you trust that you have changed.

And when the subject of trust comes up, very often we hear from your society a collective psychic groan, “Oh no, you mean I have to have trust? I have to have faith? Oh no, there goes my reality.”

All right, allow us to share something we have shared many times before. Perhaps you can listen as if anew.

Doubt is not a lack of trust and in fact there is no such thing as a lack of trust.

Trust is what holds together the fabric of your very reality.

Trust is the mechanism through which your Higher Self expresses as a physical self.

The moment that trust is gone, you simply disappear and that trust is in full place. You will not disappear.

Understand, it is not that you do not have trust. It is that doubt is an infinite trust in the thing you say you don't prefer.

So therefore, it is not a matter of gathering up trust, of doing psychic exercises so that you can strengthen your trust. No, it is a matter of realizing and acknowledging where you have placed that trust and that what you, again, are calling doubt, is a trust in what you don't prefer. That gives you the opportunity to look at why you would trust in something you don't prefer and also gives you the opportunity in acknowledging it to then decide to trust in what you do prefer.

Simply taking the trust you already have—you do not have to create it, it is there—and reapply it. Reassign it to the things that are reflective of who you are and it is that simple. You can make it more complicated if you wish. If you need in that sense to have a very complex process to validate the change, go right ahead.

But now you may realize that that is exactly what you're doing, and you can grant that validation in the given moment and apply your trust consciously as the new you, as the preferred you.

How would that preferred you act?

If the quote-unquote old unpreferred you comes up, the new you doesn't mind. The new you says, “Oh, thank you”. The more information that I have, the more choices that I have, the more options that I have, the more enriched is my experience and ability to choose.”

So thank that quote-unquote old self. Your old self wouldn't thank itself, but your new self can.

Your new self contains these definitions. Your new self can thank your old self for the suggestion, but then not move, then not act until you remind yourself, from the perspective of your new self, what that new self would do. Then by acting according to the perspective of the preferred you, you are the preferred you.

And all that ever had you being the old you, was the same mechanism whereby you acted as though you believed, perhaps something negative, perhaps something limiting. But what we are speaking of is nothing you must learn. You are all experts. You are all masters. You have been up till now perhaps the masters of limitation. Now you are the masters of integration.

And therefore, act that way. Always when meeting another master, the way that you can identify a master is that master will be the first to reflect, reflect, back to you that you are already a master as well. For a true master fully understands and realizes the equality of all ideas within All That Is.

So therefore, perhaps you can use that, as you say, as a litmus test.

Allow us now to proceed again to the interaction.
