Our goal is to synchronize all recipients of this information,
so we will cover basic concepts quickly, then move into the more
complex material. We begin with a single question which addresses
the root of most metaphysical searches.
We remind you that intense desire is required to enter the physical
plane. Each of you are here by your own choosing, but the choice
to experience life on Earth comes at a high price. The cost is
energy. From a cosmic perspective, that is the price of
all things. You sent out great waves of focused energy in order
to manifest this lifetime, to be here in a physical body at this
time. What could lead you to expend your energy toward that goal?
The answer is simple. It is your preference, nothing more.
You may say, "But that is not so much! Isn't it something
bigger, like a desire to return to oneness?" The answer is
the same, that was your preference too.
At the core of all choices is one thing: Preference. If
you seek to eliminate preference (as do some Buddhists), you exhibit
a preference not to prefer, so you still have a preference! At
the very crux of consciousness is the mechanism of preference.
The ability to prefer is the essence of sentience. Higher levels
of consciousness are achieved, not as you eliminate preference,
but as you focus and extend it. Projecting ahead, seeking to pinpoint
a laser beam of preference onto a distant and complex goal, indicates
a high degree of preference ability. Complex preference improves
the clarity and strength of soul energy, leading some to prefer
existence as stars or planets. Others choose to experience group
consciousness in plants, minerals and animals-or in collected
energies such as our own. (We are an entity consisting of separate
souls who have chosen to work together while maintaining individual
awareness.) Multitudes of other choices exist as well. Consciousness
that moves far from the physical plane has options that we cannot
even explain to you. Since there is always someone preferring
something new, there are unlimited choices within the Universe.
After leaving the Oneness, you preferred to align yourself with
a "team," rather than move through the Universe as a
solitary consciousness. Your next preference was in the selection
of that team or family, choosing from many structures and shapes.
Like us, you selected the "entity" approach, which maintains
individuality without solitude. You may have assumed that all
souls operate as you do, seeking to reunite with others of your
group. Almost all souls on your planet are involved in this same
preference for "entity" form, much like all teams at
the soccer field are there to play soccer. There are many other
configurations to choose from, however. There are a small number
of solitary souls mingling with you "team players,"
but only a few.
We speak of this to alert you to the complexities of the Universe.
Please understand the critical importance of preference. It is
why you are here! As you access your ability to prefer, you improve
your skill at achieving the life experiences you most want. Preference
is more than manifesting, as it comes before manifesting.
Magic happens when you establish preference. Preference is the
highest act of consciousness, no matter what you choose to prefer!
The condition of your planet reflects the sum of all preferences
made by souls currently in physical form on the planet. Earth's
reactions, such as an increase in natural phenomena like earthquakes
and weather-related disasters, reflect the balance of all planetary
energies. Such cataclysmic events happen in areas of the planet
where there are large groups of negative, fearful people. Intensified
energies promote a rise in human violence, on a nation-to-nation,
as well as a personal level. Again, people living with fear and
anger magnetize forms of violence to themselves. If you have a
strong intention for joyful survival, intuitive clues will
keep you safe. We recommend that you move through every day consciously
and deliberately, paying close attention to your intuitive flashes.
Do not bother with protective energy shields; they can draw to
you opposing energies who will "push" on it. Remember
to focus your thoughts on what you do want rather than
what you do not want. For example, when you get into a
vehicle, take a moment to visualize yourself arriving safely at
your destination. If you pay attention, intuition will then guide
you safely through any potentially harmful situations.
At the current time, your life is likely to be filled with strong
lessons, with surges of personal growth for you and everyone around
you. Issues that need work will come to the forefront of your
experience. Intense feelings and situations may develop in your
daily life, as this is how the Universe gives you "homework"
and "final exams." Current lessons will intensify, or
you may find yourself tested on how well you understand your recently
completed lessons. One day you may feel quite tranquil and balanced,
and the next you may suddenly discover buried or hidden issues
coming up to be handled. For best results, use gentle, joyful
techniques to finalize your lessons. Your goal is to extinguish
the deepest of your negative thought patterns or fears, leaving
a workable quantity to finish easily over the next few years.
Your Higher Self "feeds" you lessons at the fastest
possible pace you can handle.
New awareness levels of old problems trigger a need for personal
growth and intensified inner work. When old issues are solved,
new issues will arise. Over the next ten years, problem-solving
continues, with your Higher Self directing the lessons for maximum
efficiency and dharma. Because of your passionate desire to get
to 100 mph, you may have lots of lessons "dumped" on
you in a very short time. There is nothing "wrong" or
"bad" about approaching the lessons slowly, but you
have a very strong intention in place for getting to 100
mph quickly.
Try your best to recognize and finish with life-lessons as they
present themselves. Your Higher Self feeds these lessons to you
as fast as possible, in order to propel you toward 100 mph. If
at any time you begin to feel overwhelmed, use your visualization
skills to contact your Higher Self and your guides to request
a slower pace. Imagine yourself talking with whatever "teacher"
image you wish to create. Explain precisely what you need; the
guide may simply agree, or the guide may offer an explanation
which may help you stay with the accelerated pace.
It's fine to slow yourself down when you feel the need to do so.
You should realize however, that although slower growth tends
to feel more comfortable, it is possible to develop the skills
to find JOY in accelerated growth as well. One of the keys to
fast growth with JOY is a well-developed ability to problem-solve.
(See Chapter Eight in this section,"School of Happiness"
Problem-Solving Skills.) Another key to fast and joyful growth
is the ability to use your intuition which is basically "tutoring"
by your guides and your Higher Self. An expanded understanding
of current events in your life gives you the perspective to recognize
the lessons more quickly, while minimizing pain. In other words,
if you can understand why you need a seemingly negative experience
at the time it is happening, you can usually release the
pain more easily. You can then move forward toward the positive
outcome which is the greater goal. Be cautious whenever you enter
the mode of growth with pain, for the discomfort will become intense
very quickly.
Your lessons may jump from topic to topic in a seemingly random
manner. Look for the underlying similarity in a variety of different
situations that appear unrelated on the surface. When this happens,
you have found a "blind spot," an incongruity in your
belief system which influences your behavior in ways you no longer
notice. If you can discover the common denominator, you can often
speed up the process of concluding a lesson. Growth energy creates
an environment for you to reevaluate such beliefs, deliberately
and consciously.
What we refer to as "mutual growth interaction," is
a commonly-used growth technique; a useful and efficient way for
two people to share lessons. It occurs when two people interact
simultaneously as student and teacher for one another. In this
situation, you are compelled to behave in a particular fashion
toward another person, who responds in turn with behavior that
"pushes a button" of yours (hurts your feelings, makes
you very angry, etc.). Your emotional reaction is strong, perhaps
more intense than the situation alone merits. Your response
at this time is critical! This is the perfect time to use
some deliberate, newly-learned behavior to respond. That's the
point of the entire interaction. Once you make a behavior change,
your partner has an enhanced opportunity to develop a completely
new reaction, breaking his/her own pattern as well. Be aware that
old behavior patterns are likely to fail miserably. Take a little
time to seek out a creative response, using all that you have
learned over recent years.
Now that we have given you the "worst news" about your
need to complete all those lessons quickly, here is some "good
news!" With the new energy available, it is now possible
to accomplish unbelievable changes in very short periods of time
. . . if you get aligned with positive energy! Since this
is such a critical concept, the next chapter provides a variety
of methods to refocus yourself from negative into positive. Remember
that fast, joyful growth is always possible.
Remember that your group's plan is built of tiny incremental pieces.
A mighty mountain peak erodes into grains of sand over time. In
this same manner, you lightworkers intend to build a mountain
out of tiny grains of sand! You may feel that one person's influence
is imperceptibly small, but focus your attention to the individual's
effect on the team as a unit. As you look around the Universe,
countless examples bombard you which demonstrate how the "micro-world"
provides the building blocks of the "macro-world." You
are just one piece, but each lightworker is a magnet to attract
more light energy to this planet. When you blend that light energy
with the love energy natural to Earth, you exude a powerful dynamism-all
by yourself!
Your job as a lightworker is to be here and to feel
JOY. Whatever your lifeplan, it must bring you to a state
of unparalleled happiness! You don't choose a lifeplan by spinning
some cosmic Wheel of Fate; you choose what you prefer, even if
that is now different from what you planned before this incarnation
began! Your group plans require that everyone light the joyful
spark within themselves. Find your inner spark and blow on it
gently until it bursts into a lovely little flame; feed the fire
with the fuel of JOY and see if you can create an inner bonfire!
Light the way first for yourself, and your joy will then light
the way for others to follow. JOY is not selfishness, nor is it
vanity. JOY is your job. Get to work!
