Addictions

In particular myself, like I smoke, I have trouble. All right, it is only a habit. Understand again that you have for many tens of thousands of years been separated from your own creatorhood, and you simply assume that the habit is now the only reality that can be real. The habit brings with it the notion that there is no other real reality, but it is only an idea. First of all, understand everything that you experience in your physical reality is a, I'll say, symbol and a tool in this way, it is valid. Everything you do is valid. Even the idea of your smoking in this way, it shows you something. Now, there is no need to try to stop. Once you allow yourself to let the symbol show you what it is showing you about yourself, then you can choose another way to be that will automatically allow you, automatically allow you to simply not contain the idea of the urge any longer. There is no need to feel. force yourself to become more spiritual. Otherwise, you are actually remaining fit in the idea that you cannot be. Simply recognize in this way that you can talk to your body consciousness and allow yourself to ask yourself in plain terms why you are creating that particular signal for yourself. Then let all the answers that come be all right. Be loving reflections, be messages to yourself so that you can understand the being you have created yourself to be. For the only fundamental purpose that you have, in being the you are is to be the you you you are. Because you are unique as this you and you never will be this you ever again. So learn who you are by being fully who you are by letting it be all right to be who you are. Then you will allow all the symbols that you create to be reflections to you that will be consciously understood. When all that you are creating is equal to any other choice you could make, you will be able to make another choice to all. allow another choice to prefer another choice. For you can then know that once all choices are equal, it is no effort to choose something which is on the same level as something you have already chosen. Then, by being that new you, you will simply be a re-definition. You will not be the you were. You will not become the same you that does not smoke. The you that does not smoke is not the same you that does. So if you can even conceive that there is a you that does not smoke, be that you, and you will automatically not contain the urge. You follow me. There is no need to have to try simply be the idea. Recognize this.

re-definition. You will not be the you were. You will not become the same you that does not smoke. The you that does not smoke is not the same you that does. So if you can even conceive that there is a you that does not smoke, be that you, and you will automatically not contain the urge. You follow me. There is no need to have to try simply be the idea. Recognize this. Only your society in the habit it has created, as we have said many times in this way, assumes that once you have the concept of being able to be something you wish to be, you only assume it takes a step. and the process to become it. Once you can even conceive of the idea, because you have conceived of it, you are at the end of the process. You are it, or the idea would never have crossed your mind. You can only perceive what you contain. Therefore, it is only your assumption that, oh, all right, now I have had the idea. I wish to be the individual who does not smoke. Now what do I have to do to become this idea and make it take time? to make this transformation to achieve this goal. The second you had the idea, you were the being that did not smoke. But in the very next second, because of your judgment, that your imagination is not really real, you then created the reinforcement of the reality that there still must be something I need to do to become what I have already perceived within myself to be true. understand again by another analogy from one of the individuals upon your planet that may illustrate the point if you know that you are on an island then you obviously must be above the island to be able to tell that and so you are not on it anymore the perspective of knowing that you even contain the notion that you might have a version of you that does not smoke means you are already looking from that perspective because you have to be that you to have that thought. You follow me. You are then from that point, actually in your terms, looking back to the you that used to smoke and you are not the you that does. Simply act like you know that you are the you that does not contain the urge and you will not have the urge. It will be as simple as that. No, thank you. It is a simple. That's no. We do not need. How do you people die? They leave the body by choice, conscious choice, when they are done with the purpose in being physical. It is that also later I've been finding myself drawing to sugars or sweets, and I'm gaining a lot of... All right.

contain the urge and you will not have the urge. It will be as simple as that. No, thank you. It is a simple. That's no. We do not need. How do you people die? They leave the body by choice, conscious choice, when they are done with the purpose in being physical. It is that also later I've been finding myself drawing to sugars or sweets, and I'm gaining a lot of... All right. Understand again, you are simply making a little bit of a separation, a little bit of a judgment, but you are translating the accelerated energy through you in a way that lets you feel that you have to exemplify and match that acceleration physiologically. You follow me. Particularly the idea of what you call your sugar. In this way, simply relax into allowing the energy of the acceleration to feed you from itself. Is there anything else that you're due to tuber, such as juices or whether you're going to be able to be. Allow yourself to allow yourself to understand. that within the molecular structure of what you call clear water will be all that you need to disperse into your etheric oric field for the alignment of any acceleration and clearness of attitude. I have been drinking distilled before. All right. That is all right. It is appropriate for the idea that you are. Thank you. Have a shower? I'm thinking you a good day. Good day. I put my name in just sort of as a lark. A lark. But I thought it'd be fun to talk to you. I haven't talked to you for a while. There is one thing that I have thought about in the last few days. Oh, one thing in a few days. All right. Lots of things. But one thing that I thought I'd like to discuss with you or see what you have to say about that. A lot of times, you would. will say to people, once you have recognized something as a habit, it's not a habit anymore. Yes. And I, for one, have one habit, which I dislike quite a bit. Right. Which is very bad, which I've known was a habit for years. Why do you keep doing it then? I don't know. I have, quote, tried many different techniques to not do it anymore. Oh, all right. And I keep doing it. it. Oh, all right. And I know it's a habit, and I still do it. So I don't really agree with you that... Oh, thank you. Once you recognize something as a habit, it's not a habit anymore. Could you recognize the full statement we have made? Okay. Once you recognize it is a habit, it is no longer a habit. And you can then recognize you do not have to keep doing it unless you either keep choosing to do it.

it's a habit, and I still do it. So I don't really agree with you that... Oh, thank you. Once you recognize something as a habit, it's not a habit anymore. Could you recognize the full statement we have made? Okay. Once you recognize it is a habit, it is no longer a habit. And you can then recognize you do not have to keep doing it unless you either keep choosing to do it. or use it as an excuse to continue to do it, or do not really believe you have the capability of stopping it. That is the full statement. Okay. So, do you, if I may ask, really believe you have the capability of redefining yourself to become the person that does not contain that habit? Well, I, yeah, that's one technique, you kind of try. Let me tell you what it is, and I'm all proud of it. I don't like it. But I have found that sometimes when I talk about it, especially in a big crowd, that does reverse things. Then this may be your technique now. Anyway, the habit is that I wake up, I sleep like an hour and a half, two hours at a time, then I wake up, and I wake up, and I smoke. Yes. And then I go back to sleep, and then I wake up and I smoke. Yes. And so I smoke throughout the night, which is terrible. Do you enjoy it? Well, yeah. Yes, I do. Oh, I? Why? I don't know. Well, I don't. No, I'm sure it's because it's a physiological addiction. Well, one moment, one moment. Don't be too sure. Why do you enjoy it? If you do. Because it's a habit. Not necessarily. Part of it is that I often do it hands consciously. I just wake up, and I don't think the way I do, the way I think during the day. Oh, why? And if in that state you always... You automatically smoke. What does it do for you? I guess it fulfills some kind of need that my body has, you know, for nicotine, and then I go back to sleep. All right. But let's not think about it for now physiologically. What does the act itself do for you? Atmosphere wise, as you say. I never saw about that. Well, think about it now. What kind of mood does that? it create? What kind of mood does it help to reinforce? To perpetuate? Is it one of contemplation? Does the smoke, to some degree, symbolize your very thought? Hmm. Does it seem to be your way of meditating? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. If that is what it does for you, it may in your terminology not be as negative as you think. Maybe not for you. Remember, every individual is different.

Does it seem to be your way of meditating? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. If that is what it does for you, it may in your terminology not be as negative as you think. Maybe not for you. Remember, every individual is different. And certain things that may even be generally negative within the consensus reality does not necessarily have to be negative for everyone depending on how you use it. Many individuals can transform what may be negative to the general population into something that has no negative effect on them. How are your lungs? Uh, well, surprisingly good, considering I was supposed for so many years. Surprisingly good. All right. Then maybe it simply doesn't affect you that way because you don't buy into it that way. And maybe that's why it's all right for you to continue to do something that actually is representative of your way of meditating. And not necessarily has to be thought of as a negative habit. What about that? Well, that's possible. I do fall asleep with cigarettes at my hands and I burn my... All right. ...and by myself. Then perhaps, just a slight variation of the idea is all that is really necessary more than an absolute transformation of it. Perhaps allow yourself to simply put the cigarette out first. I'm sorry about that. The idea is, perhaps, that if you do have a different attitude about it, you may allow yourself to be a little more conscious and conscientious of exactly. how you are using it and allow the timing and your awareness of what you need to do with it to be done in a more natural way. For if you are coming from the point of view that it is something you shouldn't be doing, then you may not be paying attention to the natural timing of it. And the natural timing of it may give you in no uncertain terms the absolute signal as to when to put it out. For you, it may be an extension of something you have done in the past. smoking the peace pipe. Yeah, we've talked about that once before. So if you can use it in a similar fashion, it can be an act of meditation. It can, as many of you say, be your version of prayer. Because that is what the smoke from the American Indian peace pipe represents. Prayer, spirit. Interesting. So, look at it that way and see if that makes a difference. Yeah, you know, something just happened. Now, I've noticed many times when we talk that that I do get things at different levels without realizing it or I realize it later that night or something of that. And I just, a few minutes ago, just got, I felt it.

Now, I've noticed many times when we talk that that I do get things at different levels without realizing it or I realize it later that night or something of that. And I just, a few minutes ago, just got, I felt it. It was very nice. Thank you. And also remember, one other thing we have talked about regarding symbols and physical ideas and action. When you allow a symbol to serve the purpose, you actually have designed it to serve. When you give it definition when you recognize the definition you actually have given it that's when you may not need it any longer and then it will transform right in continuing to apply the assumption that it automatically must be negative just because of the way it looks on the surface you have not allowed yourself to recognize perhaps what the real definition and purpose of that particular act was and therefore could not allow it to change because you had not identified it for what it was to begin with understand yes I do thank you very very Thank you very much. See if that makes a difference. Thank you. It will. Bye-bye. Thank you. Oh, Bashar. I'm here you, good day. I'm about 80 pounds overweight, and I'm starting to lose weight again. Oh, all right. This time I'm working with my belief system and changing my... Oh, thank you. ...what you. But I ran into something on a transcript from Dr. Peebles. Did it hurt? No. It might. He says that if, you know, some people want a slim body in this life, but they have the body that they have the body that they, need to fulfill the purpose of this life. Yes. If they wanted a slim body, they would have a body that would eat five times a day and never put on any weight. Correct. Not that you cannot change. But the idea is to simply understand that many individuals create the idea of weight for many different reasons and some individuals create it for a reason that actually is of service, both to them and perhaps even to other people for a while. I see. Now, there are many different reasons why you may create the idea of weight, and I can simply define a few. One will be the idea, as we have discussed with many individuals, that you are literally waiting to do what excites you the most.

many different reasons and some individuals create it for a reason that actually is of service, both to them and perhaps even to other people for a while. I see. Now, there are many different reasons why you may create the idea of weight, and I can simply define a few. One will be the idea, as we have discussed with many individuals, that you are literally waiting to do what excites you the most. And since math is energy, and energy is math, when you do not use the energy and flow it through you by waiting to do what excites you the most, then all the energy will come in, turn to math, and hang around you until you decide to turn it back into energy and use it and flow it. By not waiting to do what excite you the most. Secondly, sometimes an individual, when exploring the idea of accelerating, will believe that if they do not add some way to ground them, they will become flighty and airy and loose touch with the earth. So they will create ballast to hold themselves down because they think they need that to balance themselves and keep them in contact with physical reality by creating so much of physical reality around them. Some individuals will think that this new energy they are discovering within themselves is so accelerated that if they don't have a little bit of a buffer that by the time they get to acclimate to it, it could burn them out, strip them raw, thin them down to nothing. So they will add a little extra weight so that by the time they get to where they want to be, they will have used up just the right amount of weight and will be exactly who they want to be. These are a few of the reasons. Look, I see. So sometimes you can understand that you simply assume that it is to your best benefit sometimes to have the idea of the weight. Not that you really need to have it, but the way you might be thinking about what it is your learning and doing in life might simply be reflected in your wisdom of taking care of yourself in a way that will allow you to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you can do whatever it is you want to do and explore whatever it is you want to explore and that by the time you get to where you want to be, quote unquote, you will not be burned away. Understand? I do. Does this assist you? Yes, it does. Thank you. Well, thank you very much. think of consciousness expanding drugs that we discovered in our exploration here. Again, the idea is that all tools are valid.

whatever it is you want to do and explore whatever it is you want to explore and that by the time you get to where you want to be, quote unquote, you will not be burned away. Understand? I do. Does this assist you? Yes, it does. Thank you. Well, thank you very much. think of consciousness expanding drugs that we discovered in our exploration here. Again, the idea is that all tools are valid. However, recognize that we have observed in your society that one of the, shall I say, choices, you would call it tendencies, but I will call it choices, that your society makes, is that because they have not been taught, that they are already in touch with their aspect of the infinite and that the power is from within them, and they don't believe they are in control. believe they are in control of their lives, they will continue to put the idea of the power into the external tool that they discover, assuming that the tool has the power to alter the state of consciousness in the way they want to alter it. It is all well and good to use it as a trigger, in that sense, as a catalyst, to show you what realms, what dimensions you can expand into. But do understand, once you have been shown, you don't need the tool anymore. You can do it yourself. anytime you want to. The idea of what you call addiction is simply the continuation of the assumption that the power is still in the tool, in the drug, and that you don't have the power, that the drug has the power, and that you need the drug in order to create the effect. Once the drug has shown you the effect, you can create at any time because you created it to begin with, because the drug is only a projection of your consciousness anyway. Is it making some sense? So the idea, fundamentally, is that all tools are basically valid. If you understand that you are approaching the idea with your best sense of integrity and that you are honestly exploring for what you believe to be a beneficial idea in that sense, then recognize that almost anything can be used in that way and will allow you to key into, to lock into ideas that will help you expand your consciousness. However, always be mindful of the fine line between believing you need it and understanding that it is simply shown you a door that you can now open any time you wish if you simply change the definition of where the powers lie. Understand? Yes. Oh, thank you very much. Hey, B. A few moments remaining for this interaction this evening of the entire. Thank you. Hi. I see the thing about smoking, my husband is trying to quit smoking in my mind. Fine. Yes, well. Heaven is successful as much trying.

is simply shown you a door that you can now open any time you wish if you simply change the definition of where the powers lie. Understand? Yes. Oh, thank you very much. Hey, B. A few moments remaining for this interaction this evening of the entire. Thank you. Hi. I see the thing about smoking, my husband is trying to quit smoking in my mind. Fine. Yes, well. Heaven is successful as much trying. Well, but in this way, he is not quitting. That's right. He is trying. Very successful at trying. Yeah, you're right. You are always successful at the thing you are doing. Sometimes simply allow yourself to recognize what the definition of the thing you are doing actually is. If you are trying, that is what you are doing, and you are always very successful. always very successful at it. Okay. Share that with him, first of all. All right. Now, he does go to quite a good withdrawal at one point. And I was wondering if you could... Clear! Clear! Cool, not cold, cool. Water. A lot of issues. We'll ease the plan. We'll ease the plan. transition and replace the energy with crystalline vibration. A lot of clean, cool water. Perhaps a little bit of leather. All right. That may ease and assist. Whenever there is the idea you call the urge, the water, the lemon. If he wishes to, he can also take a slice of the fruit and bite into it briefly. Then drink the water. All right. I'll tell them. That's okay. And while he is doing that, allow him to allow himself to go blank, to daydream. to just muse. Then, he can't get all about his business, but for the point of the intake of the water, of the lemon, just defocus. Think of everything and nothing, anything at all. Just defuse. Then put the glass down and go on about your business. Alright? All right. Thank you. Not necessarily. One moment. May I ask you question? Sure. Thank you. Well, first, let me have found me. Remember that when you change any belief, you change any emotion, you change any thought, you are literally a different person. Literally, even though you think you look the same on the surface, you aren't the same person. person because a person is an artificial construct of your consciousness. So when you change your beliefs, you are a different person, literally. So if you have changed the definition of who you are, why would the so-called habit pattern of the old you have anything at all to do with who you are now? Well, the reason I do is because I'm hung up on smoking, and I just assume not, that I, even when I saw my self, myself I don't want it. I reach first cigarette and writing. Oh, all right. Remember this. A habit is something you do that you don't know you're doing.

are, why would the so-called habit pattern of the old you have anything at all to do with who you are now? Well, the reason I do is because I'm hung up on smoking, and I just assume not, that I, even when I saw my self, myself I don't want it. I reach first cigarette and writing. Oh, all right. Remember this. A habit is something you do that you don't know you're doing. Once you know you have a habit, you don't have it anymore. Because in order to know you had it, you have to be beyond it in order to see you had it to begin with. You have to be outside of a cycle to recognize it as a cycle, as a pattern. You have to be beyond it. beyond it, to see it for the pattern it is. The only thing that would make it seem to continue in the same format is your definition that a habit must always continue automatically and that you have to do something specific in order to change it, and that's a difficult thing to do. That is the definition that seems to perpetuate the idea you call a habit. But in fact, the only reason it would continue is because you assume it must. Because of your definition of what A habit is a habit. Something difficult to change. Everyone knows that. A habit is hard to break. That's a definition. It's not a law of the universe. It's a definition. If you know you had it, you don't have it anymore. If you are clear about the definition of who it is you really prefer to be, then start asking like that person. And if the person you prefer to be doesn't contain the definition of the idea of then the new you will not even have the urge. But if the definition you are is the definition of someone that says, well, I don't know, it's a difficult thing to break this habit, and I might slip back into it, then that's the definition you're creating yourself to be now. It is no surprise that you would create difficulty. In that sense and changing it because your definition of yourself contains a variable, this is difficult to break. That's the person you are to create. That's the person you are defining yourself to be. Some of them have a definition that says this habit is difficult to breath. Be the person who doesn't even have that definition. And you think we won't even have the urge because you'll be a person who literally has never smoked. Murderly. Because when you change your present, you change your path. You change your history all the way up and down the line. Change your past, change your future. It's all done from the present. when you are a different person, literally a different person, wouldn't you have a different history? Sure.

even have that definition. And you think we won't even have the urge because you'll be a person who literally has never smoked. Murderly. Because when you change your present, you change your path. You change your history all the way up and down the line. Change your past, change your future. It's all done from the present. when you are a different person, literally a different person, wouldn't you have a different history? Sure. Then be the definition of the person you want to be that has a history where you have never smoked and you won't have the urge. Because you will have never done it before. So it won't have been a habit. Because the new person you are now never had to have it. Understand? Yes, thank you. And good day to you. First of all, I'd like to thank you for some advice. First of all, I'd like to thank you for some advice. she gave me in October when I told you that I didn't want to go to the health club anymore and I talked to you about just imaging my body the way I wanted it to be. I've been doing that and it's been working fantastic. I hear you. Very. Very much. Hey. Hello. I do you with that. I wanted to know how I can lose my weight and keep it off. I lose weight and gain it right back. Alright. Now, we will touch on many of the But there's a whole number of reasons for the creation of what you call physical ways in your reality, a number of reasons. We will allow you in hearing this gamut of reasons to decide which are applicable to you. In understanding which is applicable to you, you can then understand the reasons for why you have created it and understanding the reasons for why you have created it. Then if you want to, you can change. Idea number one, many individuals will assume that they, in order to handle more of the energy they are now feeling in their lives, will assume that they will assume that the natural state of their body will not be able to handle that much energy, so they will add mass as a buffer to be able to handle what they perceive or labeled to be extra energy. One reason. Another reason. Sometimes in dealing with things that the majority of your society think are quote-unquote, airy subject. You will then to compensate for their judgment of you, for their invalidation, add more weight to appear more stable and grounded. That's another reason. Third reason.

able to handle that much energy, so they will add mass as a buffer to be able to handle what they perceive or labeled to be extra energy. One reason. Another reason. Sometimes in dealing with things that the majority of your society think are quote-unquote, airy subject. You will then to compensate for their judgment of you, for their invalidation, add more weight to appear more stable and grounded. That's another reason. Third reason. Sometimes because you may serve as a center of interaction for many different individuals in life and they come to you for certain kinds of benefit, certain kinds of service, because of the labels your society puts on the notion of nurturing, being that there is more than enough to go around for everyone, sometimes individuals will take on a comfortable appearance. Sometimes what may be called a motherly, nurturing, appearance in that sense, by adding weight to you, so that individual though, I can't rest on you, I can rely on you, there's more than enough to go around, you are a very nurturing source, and by seeing the extra weight I am attracted to understanding that you are functioning in that way, in being of service as a reflection, so that many people can come to you, and we will know you will not be depleted. First, there is a wonderful analogy that happens with your English language. Remember that, energy is math. Math is energy. When you are doing what excites you the most in life, you flow the energy through you and out into the actions of the things that excite you. When you stop yourself from doing what excites you, you do not slow the energy, you wait. wait to do what excites you, and the more waiting you do, the more the energy turns into math. When you start doing the thing it excites you the most to do, then the math converts back into energy, and you stop waiting to do and start doing, and then in that sense all the waiting goes away. That's another analogy that your society has created for the idea of weight. Number five, sometimes individuals will not want to take certain ideas, and so they can create the idea of extra mass to hide it. So that no one will be able to really touch them in the center, for there will be a barrier, so to speak. In a sense, it will be the filling of the aura again with math to allow other people to know there's no rooms or anyone else. This is almost exactly the opposite of the other one, the nurturing one, one that filled the orator, let everyone know that is more than enough to go around. Come and aid. So there are many different ways, and even perhaps many more than we have labeled. Allow your own imagination to delve into the reason.

filling of the aura again with math to allow other people to know there's no rooms or anyone else. This is almost exactly the opposite of the other one, the nurturing one, one that filled the orator, let everyone know that is more than enough to go around. Come and aid. So there are many different ways, and even perhaps many more than we have labeled. Allow your own imagination to delve into the reason. If any of these things have touched a part of it, expand on it. If they do not need to fulfill the notion, allow yourself to take the cue from the way we have examined it and come up with your own idea about why you think you have created this notion. Also, because many of you are oriented in physiological ways, you have created also different notions of what you call metabolism. Sometimes many of you need far less sustenance in different ways than you think you need. Sometimes the idea of weight will be because individuals will, in that sense, consume more than they need to, to replace things they think they don't have. So it will be one way to try to get abundance in their life by feeling like they have a lot of physical materiality because they do not see it externally in their life, they will attempt to create it internally within their or exceeding. That's another idea. There are many, many, many reasons and many more reasons for the creation of that particular system. symbol in your reality, just as there are many reasons for many of the symbols all of you create. Use your imagination, get into the heart, the very center of the idea that you are, and see what makes sense to you. Understand? Has this been of some service? Yes. Well, we thank you very. Thank you. What I would like to ask you is that I am in training to become a hypnototherapist therapist and I would like to know how I can best use this tool to serve people. How do you wish to use it? What is your imagination told you? Right now I'm doing past life regression. Alright, does that excite you? Yes, it does. All right then. Any other way you wish to use it? Hypnosis? Yes. I am finding out there are many ways that I can use it. Pick the ones that excites you the most. Act upon it with your integrity and you'll be doing just fine. You will be serving. the individuals best by being to the fullest who you can be, because by being who you are, you will only attract the individuals by definition whom you will be able to serve the best, will you not? Why would you want to attract someone you cannot serve? I wouldn't want to... Alright then, don't. Okay. It is as simple as that.

with your integrity and you'll be doing just fine. You will be serving. the individuals best by being to the fullest who you can be, because by being who you are, you will only attract the individuals by definition whom you will be able to serve the best, will you not? Why would you want to attract someone you cannot serve? I wouldn't want to... Alright then, don't. Okay. It is as simple as that. Every single person has the necessary audience that they can serve, and every audience will find its server. and server. If you are simply being who you know you are, you will be of the vibration to only attract those by definition who you will be able to help. Why would you assume that you would be able to attract someone you wouldn't be able to help? Well. I wouldn't. Alright then. Does that work for you? Yes, it does. Well, thank you very much. May I ask one more question? Yes. I would like to know what the importance is of nutrition as uh, the consciousness is there. It will depend upon the belief systems of the individuals, but it can be representative of changes and accelerations in your frequencies. You may find that you will lose the urge for more and more material sustenance and start relying more and more on energy. This does not have to be a forced situation. You don't have to force yourself to be more spiritual. But the idea in that sense is that generally, generally higher accelerated energy will require less physical bulk to maintain it. to maintain it. You understand? Yes. So the simpler forms may come into play for many of you, but the reasons and the timing and the actual substances in question will vary from individual to individual. You have to deal with each one instinctively and distinctly. Yes. Does that assist you? Yes, it does. Oh, thank you very much. Thank you. Yes, sir. I have a question on cocaine. And what it is basically, what does it do to the body? it due to the body and its popularity? In this way, you will find once again that any idea of a physiological tool is only a tool. And when individuals in this way recognize that the power is within them and they do not eat with the power in some tool outside themselves, then they will say we find themselves of a vibration that does not require the idea of the reliance upon the tool in order to gain the sense of self-empowerment. For in this way the idea of a particular expression in relying and shifting responsibility onto a tool rather than simply taking it for granted the tool is there to show you that you have self-empowerment and that you yourself can recreate the idea you think you are getting from the tool that you are actually creating yourself.

require the idea of the reliance upon the tool in order to gain the sense of self-empowerment. For in this way the idea of a particular expression in relying and shifting responsibility onto a tool rather than simply taking it for granted the tool is there to show you that you have self-empowerment and that you yourself can recreate the idea you think you are getting from the tool that you are actually creating yourself. Then in that way you will find that because it deals specifically with the idea of raw power, raw self-empowerment, that as you keep relying upon the tool to give you the empowerment, then that much raw power will cause burnout. of all of the systems. Well, yes. When it comes with actual burnout, this possibility, what degrees or what type of time period is, which is very with different people. Yes, to some degree. There seems to be a generalized mass consciousness. Reaction, approximating the idea of a turnaround time of what you would call three months. Three months of music which creates this burnout. A. Or create the idea of an acceleration towards the burnout that is not reversible. There is an idea that it's not reversible. That creates the idea in your mass consciousness as you have agreed to abide by what you call the physiological laws of cemeteries. You can always circums circumventure. can always circumvent that. All we are saying is that we perceive in your math conscious mentality, it is at this time still unlikely. That if an individual has taken themselves to that point, they will generally, with rare exceptions, experience it all the way. With all the way concept of the burnout. Could you describe that? Neuronic sheathing breakdown. Enzymatic dysfunction. Inhibition of nitrogen and oxygen-carrying components. This function of many of the ideas of organs within you that find their job to be filtering, what you would call toxin. Therefore, the dumping of extra toxin. of extra toxins into your system, which accelerates the burnout. Electromagnetic disorientation. Motor response dysfunction based upon the breakdown of the neuronic sheaving and the depletion of what you would call mineral and chemical constituents within the body. Impairment of the IE of the delivery of the delivery system systems of what you would call the substance lepacin into the brain cell structure, breakdown of the sheathing of the brain, and all such ideas that you would call lubricating membranes. In a sense, therefore, you become an exposed and raw nerve ending. In those cases that this has occurred with, you say there's no turnaround? I would say that the idea, as we have said, is that anything is that anything is changeable in that way. All we are saying is that as we experience the energy your math consciousness, the individuals who take themselves usually to that point will usually take themselves all the way to a burnout. I see. That is their experience their choice. Yes.

All we are saying is that as we experience the energy your math consciousness, the individuals who take themselves usually to that point will usually take themselves all the way to a burnout. I see. That is their experience their choice. Yes. Now, burnout is different for different individuals, in terms of the life. levels they can tolerate. Mm-hmm. But it will all be related similarly to that idea. I see. In respect to the various people that this has occurred to or on its way, I'm just trying to look at a way that this can be understood or shared. Simply! Known in that way that all they are doing is substituting the recognition that they are the ones that are self-empowered to create the reality as they so desire and they so desire and do not need to rely on an externalized symbol for the creation of that sense of tolerance. Mm-hmm. So basically, like myself or others who choose to, you can see that example. Say, yes, be a reflection in whatever situation you attract herself within, in which you can be a reflection without being a reflection in judgment or accusation. Exactly. Thank you for you. Marijuana doesn't cocaine as far as burnout. There will be many differences with any different symbol. In this way, you are also dealing with the idea of what you would call depletion of the oxygenation of your system with that substance. So what is the physical effects or mental effects? The deterioration of the cellular structure of drying out in general. Deprival of oxygen to the brain as well, and the cessation of thought rationalization functions in time. What about exercising? Blood chemical alterations to some extent. Some ideas inherent in what are you? call the liver. It's possible that it will transfer over also to the area you call the kidneys. It may not be immediately felt in this way, but once again, understand that any such idea is giving you an effect, but it is not creating the effect. You are creating the effect, and it is only there as a tool to show you what a effect. effect you can create in your reality. Once you know it is possible, you can create it without the drugs. The continued reliance on the drug is not allowing yourself to manifest your own self-empowerment with the creation of the effect. And simply assuming that the responsibility must be placed on something outside you in order to achieve that degree of connections. Any idea in a sense that is relied upon as an externalized self-empowerment, will always eventually come up with some sort of what you call side effects. Because you are placing the power to the side of yourself and not within you.

yourself to manifest your own self-empowerment with the creation of the effect. And simply assuming that the responsibility must be placed on something outside you in order to achieve that degree of connections. Any idea in a sense that is relied upon as an externalized self-empowerment, will always eventually come up with some sort of what you call side effects. Because you are placing the power to the side of yourself and not within you. So you will get a side effect reaction. That will allow you to perceive where you require the centering. And in what ways? Where do you require the same? Okay. In what areas of your consciousness? The side effect is what are some part of your body? And that is a part that's in balance? That carries a symbolic interpretation of many of the areas that allow you to generate the lack of self-empowerment to begin with. With that particular methodology. Could you please get an example? In this way. In this way you may find that if you have the idea of what essentially in your body is a filter being affected, then it is a notation symbolically in plain terms by analogy that the idea is you are filtering out portions of yourself that you are not willing to look at. That is a simple analogy, but it will do. Wow, I can't look that way. The last time that I was here, I heard you say that you're saying that you're a simple analogy. strongest fear becomes your strongest desire. Many times. The idea simply put is that whatever your strongest fear is, if it is more overwhelming than your strongest joy, will usually activate the negative blueprint belief patterns within your mind. Emotion, emotion, energy motion is the activator. Therefore, if your strongest emotion is one of fear, you will usually attract the idea of all the negative representations of that emotion. emotion. I've thought about that every day. Since you said that. Have you been having a good time? Yeah, I do what excites me. My life is about being of service right now because I don't know what else to do. What else is there? The thing that excites you the most is what will allow you to be of best service. My strongest fear, I had a... I'm a sober alcoholic and my entire... Contradiction. Contradiction, oh right, I heard, well, I'm a person who doesn't drink anymore. Oh, all right. Then you are not alcoholic. I don't know how that... I understand the nomenclature that is used in your society. That an individual wants this is always that. But the idea is, as we have in that sense, from our point of view that if you truly become another person, you really don't have the same history. Literally. That's too scary for me to even conceive. Why? It's up to you. I will not force you to conceive of it. But I am curious.

that... I understand the nomenclature that is used in your society. That an individual wants this is always that. But the idea is, as we have in that sense, from our point of view that if you truly become another person, you really don't have the same history. Literally. That's too scary for me to even conceive. Why? It's up to you. I will not force you to conceive of it. But I am curious. Why is that so scary? Because I've been told that if I drink, that I'm going to die, and my inner voice is always telling me that I'm not an alcoholic. That's not what we are saying. what we are saying like work through this stuff and become another person. One moment, one moment, that's not what we are saying. We are not saying that if you recognize that the idea that you are another person, that you have to contain the... Really, the person you are at that moment. You are not the old person struggling to be different. You are a different person, literally. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes, yes, we know, we know, we know. Your faces look the same. Right, exactly. So what? That's just outer appearance. And you know what you say about the cover of things. They are only covers. They are only representational symbols. Although, once again, do remember that the more you really know you have changed, the more different you actually start appearing to other people, literally, physically. Because you don't. do make the change. It just takes you a little time to physically show it because your description and definition of physical reality is that things take time to shift physically. As we have said, we do know of civilizations where when they make a decision and change the person that they are, their outer appearance changes instantly. They are recognized by their energy, not by their faith. But understand, it is still no different. If you really make a change in your belief, in your emotion, in your thoughts, you have changed the basic structure of the persona you are, the artificial construct you are as a personality. Personality is just a projection of the consciousness, of the idea you are being at this moment. Change any factor, any variable within an equation, you are literally a different person. If you are literally a different person, you don't have the same history. You don't have the same past. You don't have the same. future. Literally. I am not speaking figuratively. I am not speaking philosophically. I am talking mechanics, physics. You are not the same person. Now you were two of your minutes ago. Literally, the idea, the notion of continuity is your invention. It's your illusion. It's your projection. It serves you, but it's still your creation.

a different person, you don't have the same history. You don't have the same past. You don't have the same. future. Literally. I am not speaking figuratively. I am not speaking philosophically. I am talking mechanics, physics. You are not the same person. Now you were two of your minutes ago. Literally, the idea, the notion of continuity is your invention. It's your illusion. It's your projection. It serves you, but it's still your creation. The only reason you experience continuity between the you you are now and the you you used to be is because that's the way you've been taught to think, because the definition of your physical reality contains linear time. I was this before. I am this now. I will be this later. But in a sense, even though it's the same consciousness, the same overall, I as the person you are, it's not the same you. So when the person you are says, I was this before, well, I do not mean to be derogatory, but that's a lie. It's not so. The you you are now is whoever you define yourself to be now and has really not much to do with whoever you defined yourself to be some time ago. You can learn to live in the moment. fully and you can learn that you can be whatever you wish to be at that moment and that anything you have ever been therefore will not be tied to you and whatever you define yourself to be will be the only feelings you have understand yes I do is this assisting you yes it is well thank you very much thanks Hello, Bashar. I'm through you good day. I have a question about my son. All right. He is very self-destructive. All right. Has been for two or three years, perhaps. Age? 19. Age. In what way? He uses a lot of drugs. All right. And alcohol. All right. Have you shared with this individual some of the notions we have this discussed about externalizing your power. To some extent, when he was a little younger and was still living with me. All right. He has not lived with me for the past year. All right. And even before that time, he seemed very unwilling to let any of the ideas in. All right. But that's his choice, is it not? Yes, it is. My question is... Yes. Why is he doing this? And is there anything that I can do perhaps in the way of sending energy during meditation that might help to heal him. I suspect that in some way... Well, have you sent this energy? I haven't tried it yet. Why not? Because I just thought of it. Oh, all right. Then understand you're sending it right now. And of course, any support, any faith and any belief that you can send to any individual unconditionally will be felt. Now, they don't have to use it.

way of sending energy during meditation that might help to heal him. I suspect that in some way... Well, have you sent this energy? I haven't tried it yet. Why not? Because I just thought of it. Oh, all right. Then understand you're sending it right now. And of course, any support, any faith and any belief that you can send to any individual unconditionally will be felt. Now, they don't have to use it. But you can reach them on a fundamental electromagnetic level that it will at least... that it will at least... At least give them the best opportunity to use that energy in a positive way. So by all means, send them the energy. They will receive it. It has already been received. Since I've tried many ways to reach him and have not so far succeeded, is there a way that I haven't thought of that might be more successful, that he might be more open to? Only the unconditional love. If that individual is not willing to sit down and have a dialogue with you, if you are not in that sense capable, of allowing an interaction to occur, if you cannot co-create an interaction wherein he will be willing to at least examine different options, then all you can do is send him the love, send him the energy, and attract with your belief, with your trust and your faith, an opportunity that will automatically occur that can then provide the circumstances necessary wherein at least some ideas can be shared. but not out of desperation, not out of belief that he is weak, out of the understanding that he does have strength. Now, all he is doing is putting his power externally, rather than internally, thinking that the tools, the symbols, the drug, as you call it, is what carries his ability to do what he wants. You can create a conducive atmosphere, you can literally radiate an electromagnetic frequency, that may, like a compass, allow him to home in if he truly desires to, and co-create with you an opportunity to sit down and discuss some ideas, but do not force them upon him. Just provide an opportunity to understand that every individual is as powerful as he or she needs to be all ready to create whatever reality they desire without having to hurt anyone else or themselves in order to create it. all you can do is provide an atmosphere to afford the individual an opportunity to hear these things and to believe in them if he chooses. So now that you are radiating that energy, simply assume you will attract an opportunity in which this information can be shared or you will allow him to attract an opportunity into his life, whether it involves you or not, that will allow the information to at least fall in front of his face.

provide an atmosphere to afford the individual an opportunity to hear these things and to believe in them if he chooses. So now that you are radiating that energy, simply assume you will attract an opportunity in which this information can be shared or you will allow him to attract an opportunity into his life, whether it involves you or not, that will allow the information to at least fall in front of his face. But it is always going to be up to him as to whether or not to look at it or believe in it. In that sense, that is really all you can do, for you cannot force anyone to change. That will usually only cause a reinforcement of the negativity they may already be creating. So love unconditionally. Send unconditional energy and strength and send your belief in him. in him, your belief that whoever he is, whatever he is, wherever he is, wherever, and whenever he is, he does have the innate ability to attract the reality into his life that will allow him to discover his own power. Send your faith, send your belief in his strength, and that will help him create a conducive atmosphere to attract an opportunity, a mirror, a reflection in which he can then see his own strength. I understand. Yes, I do. Is there any reason for me to pursue the idea brought up by a therapist that he might be schizophrenic? Well, in a sense, you can simply recognize that all of you are, in the sense that you all have many different aspects to the overall persona you believe yourself to be. What you typically call a schizophrenic is simply someone who has not been taught how to bridge what they have created to be. a gap in the communication between one idea of themselves and another idea of themselves. They have not been taught how to communicate that idea back to the mainstream of your society, because they are not considered valid points of view. So in a sense, you can validate his point of view. It's not that you have to worry after him in terms of having a negative manifestation that you would recognize as schizophrenia. But schizophrenia is simply a recognition of different aspects, different points of view, within the overall consciousness that you are, you are and an understanding that they do all fit and they do all exist for a reason. They are simply different expressions of the same consciousness. Understand? Yes, so even though his behavior might be labeled by some to be crazy or insane, quote unquote, he still has the power to... Absolutely. As a matter of fact, individuals many times in your society who allow themselves to exhibit what you call insane behavior, behavior usually are simply showing you that they really very blatantly have the power to tap into other reality.

They are simply different expressions of the same consciousness. Understand? Yes, so even though his behavior might be labeled by some to be crazy or insane, quote unquote, he still has the power to... Absolutely. As a matter of fact, individuals many times in your society who allow themselves to exhibit what you call insane behavior, behavior usually are simply showing you that they really very blatantly have the power to tap into other reality. Because that's usually all the insanity represents is their perception of another reality that is just as real to them as yours is to you. But your society says they have no way to validate that reality, no way to communicate that reality back to the mainstream society because the mainstream, what you call your consensus reality, won't buy it. And so they lock themselves in their own cycle because they know it's real. They know it's real. Understand? Yes. Approximately, approximately, this is a very, very rough idea and only used to provide a rough analogy. Approximately 80 to 85% of individuals you call insane are simply unable to communicate the different realities they know are real. Now, that is why you have also recognized there is a very fine line between the what you call insanity and genius. What you call a genius is simply someone who perceives other realities and knows how to communicate them in a way that your society finds applicable. That's the only difference. The individuals you call insane simply aren't aware that there is a mechanism by which they can communicate what they perceive in a way that can be applied into your society. That's the only difference. Understand? Yes, so that would also account for the reason that so many supposedly insane people also have very high IQs. Yes. I suspect that my son, whatever reality he's experiencing, is frightening him a great deal, and I'm wondering if he's using the drugs to kill that awareness? To some degree, yes. But again, you see, it is from a lack of understanding that all the fright originates from within the individual and that he himself always has the capacity to transform it into joy. The continuance of the assumption that the drug is what has the power is the reinforcement is the reinforcement of the frightening idea, for it is a continuation of a removal of the power from the self. Understand? Yes, is there some way I can recommend to him that he can let go of the... I have already given you that. The frightening thought. I have already given you that. Teach him that the power to create the reality always has been is now and always shall be within him. You can suggest that no situation is inherently fear causing. Only the fear you have of a situation creates any negativity in the situation. There is nothing inherently built in to any situation that automatically causes negativity.

go of the... I have already given you that. The frightening thought. I have already given you that. Teach him that the power to create the reality always has been is now and always shall be within him. You can suggest that no situation is inherently fear causing. Only the fear you have of a situation creates any negativity in the situation. There is nothing inherently built in to any situation that automatically causes negativity. Only the fear of it causes the negativity. So he can choose his response. If he doesn't like the thoughts, he can simply ignore them. Understand. It is always a matter of trust, and that is not to say that you have to learn to do something, you have to to do something you have never done before. Many times we perceive that when we say to your society, just trust, you think, oh, now I have to learn how to trust. No. You always trust. You have always trusted. It's just a matter of whether you trust more in negativity or positivity. The mechanism is the same. What you put into it is always what comes out. And there is nothing hiding in the mechanism that has a mind of its own its own that will change what you put in and turn it into something else when it comes out. These things don't have a mind of their own. You have always used trust to create your reality. But if you trust more in negativity, that's what you get. If you trust more in positive reality, that's what you get. So it's not a matter of having to learn how to use trust. It's just a matter of using the same trust and putting positive ideas into it so that positive reality. comes out of it. It's the same analogy you use for computer. Garbage in, garbage out. What you program it with is the only thing it's capable of returning to you. Same mechanism. Understand? Yes, I do. So you can share that idea with him as well. But again, it's always going to be up to that individual to decide whether or not they choose to prefer to believe that that that will work for them. But you can point out that it always has. Because they have. always gotten what they trusted they would get. Understand? Yes, I do. What they really believe is the most likely reality they can experience is always the reality you get. Change the definitions. Change the reality. And you can also remind the individual, because they may be experiencing a high degree of emotional fear, remind them all emotions are reactions to what you all are reactions to what you already believe to be true. Emotions do not come out of the blue. They don't come out of the black, either. They come from the belief you believe in most strongly. That generates the reaction you call an emotion.

Change the reality. And you can also remind the individual, because they may be experiencing a high degree of emotional fear, remind them all emotions are reactions to what you all are reactions to what you already believe to be true. Emotions do not come out of the blue. They don't come out of the black, either. They come from the belief you believe in most strongly. That generates the reaction you call an emotion. And an emotion is also the driving mechanism that manifests the belief you have. The strongest belief, the strongest emotion, positive belief, ecstasy, manifestation. Negative belief, fear, manifestation. Same mechanism. That's all. Understand. Yes, I do. Does that serve? It does. Thank you very much. Well, thank you also for having agreed to share life with that individual. And you can remind them they agreed to be in the life they are living. it has always been by choice. Always. Once they own it, they can change it in any way they want it. But you cannot change what you do not own. Understand? Yes. Thank you, Bichard. Sharing. To you as well. I really didn't have a particular question in mind. I will just go on further in what the lady that was just up here was talking about. Because it relates to me very well. Oh, right. I'm a sober alcoholic. I went through a period in my life where I beg your pardon. What that means is that. I know what it means. Yeah. But the idea is that if you truly are a different person, then you are not the old ones. No matter what anyone tells you. That's why I say sober. But that's it. You're not a sober alcoholic. Okay, that is good because that's what I was going to ask you about. My belief in. that system is that I came into this life and one of the big lessons for me to learn was lack of power, powerlessness. That is a big one for almost all of you in this lifetime. And then I chose drugs and alcohol as a symbol or vehicle to express that powerlessness. Having learned that lesson, I am now self-empowered, particularly over the chemicals. The program that I'm involved in, which is known as Alcoholics Anonymous, has a spiritual foundation. Yes. And proclaims that my sobriety and those who are willing to be sober, having experienced the lack of power through the drugs and alcohol, is contingent upon a daily reprieve, contingent upon our spiritual condition. Yes, in a sense, yes. Okay. It is a valid tool in that way. However, there is a slight misconception, I shall say, in the idea or the assumption, I shall say, in the idea or the assumption that once you are one thing, you are always that thing. because if you truly do change, you really are, by definition, no longer that person, literally. You do not have the same path.

our spiritual condition. Yes, in a sense, yes. Okay. It is a valid tool in that way. However, there is a slight misconception, I shall say, in the idea or the assumption, I shall say, in the idea or the assumption that once you are one thing, you are always that thing. because if you truly do change, you really are, by definition, no longer that person, literally. You do not have the same path. You do not have the same future. You are a completely different reality. Then this would go against one of their foundational beliefs that it's a disease that progresses regardless of whether you use the chemicals or not, that a person who has been clean for 20 years can go and use drugs again and arrive at the same point. They care. But it is mostly the assumption of the automaticity or the idea of a habit pattern that usually is responsible for the individual recreating it again. Nothing inherent in the idea. The belief in the habit pattern is what usually causes an individual to recreate it. Understand? Yes. Because of an individual always feels that they are fighting against a habit. fighting against a pattern, fighting against a tide, then it's a very easy thing to feel that you will, quote, unquote, slip back into it. And therefore, some individuals simply do not believe they can keep up the stamina. But when you understand there's no stamina to keep and nowhere back to slip, then you can simply stay where you prefer to stay. I see related because that term is what's used when a person does go out against slip. Yes. Again, it is usually only the assumption that an individual requires stamina to stay out of a certain idea that causes them to believe they can slip right back into it. Understand, any true slippage would always bring you, by definition, back to center. Because anything else you're doing is holding yourself out of center. So if you're going to slip anywhere, it's always going to be back to center. You can't slip. back into something that is already outside of center. Understand? I think so. You can create it. You can choose it from beliefs, but it's not a true slippage. Anytime you really let yourself go and slip, you slip back to the center. Because that's the point of equilibrium. So in the sense that I'm creating for myself, based on the belief that I have, I get uncomfortable if I go more than a week or two without sharing with these people without going to a meeting or finding someone to, in a sense, give it away to the message that I thought. Oh, that's your methodology, and that works for you. That's all well and good. But simply, all we are suggesting is that pay attention to the idea of the belief of why you feel uncomfortable.

I have, I get uncomfortable if I go more than a week or two without sharing with these people without going to a meeting or finding someone to, in a sense, give it away to the message that I thought. Oh, that's your methodology, and that works for you. That's all well and good. But simply, all we are suggesting is that pay attention to the idea of the belief of why you feel uncomfortable. Because it may simply be that you are buying into the assumption that if you don't do that, you might slip. And that idea, in and of itself, can be what causes you to create all over again the thing you used to be. Simply because you do not necessarily believe that you have a lifetime's worth of stamina to stay out of that. But if you understand you don't need stamina to stay out of it, all you need are clear definitions of what you prefer to be. And then there's absolutely no way you can become anything you don't prefer to be, then it will not be a struggle at what. will not be an effort. You don't need stamina. It will just be the definition you have created, and that's it. Because I found myself going through a process whereby, at first, the obsession was lifted, then that was no longer an option for me, and I'm at a point now and recently where it's not even an issue in my life. Again, the idea is that whenever you define yourself to be an idea that does not contain another idea, you simply will not have the urge for anything that is representative of the old idea. So it is possible for me based on the strength of my belief system that I need not go again to another meeting or pick up the book again and still stay clean and sober. If you really believe it, yes. Let's look at it this way. There may be an assumption that this area of stamina or area of slippage is some sort of an interim phase between two distinct beliefs. It isn't. It's a belief unto itself. If you generate the belief that you might slip, that's a belief. What can you expect to get from the idea except slippage? If you believe in slippage, you will slip. Understand? Yes, I do. Can you tell me something about the origination of this program? It seems because it's a spiritual program. Yeah. And there are a lot of concepts in there that I hear. Again, it is simply through you, through manifestations of insight and imagination in many different individuals upon your planet, but also there was some filtering and some assumption based upon the ideas that needed to be presented at the time it was originated. A lot of those ideas not necessarily apply to the society you are now.

because it's a spiritual program. Yeah. And there are a lot of concepts in there that I hear.

A lot of those ideas not necessarily apply to the society you are now. They were, in that sense, beneficial for the time in which it was created, and they can be beneficial now, but it depends upon what time an individual defines themselves to be within. for many individuals can simply accelerate beyond that particular tool. For once again, like anything, it is simply one way. One tool. It is valid. It obviously works for many individuals. But it is only one way. And even the definitions that it is, can be adapted to the changes that individuals create within themselves. In that sense, let me put it this way. Any tool that cannot change with the changes the tool creates in the individual in that sense is not a flexible tool. And therefore must either become obsolete or adapt itself to the changes the tool create in the individual. Understand? Yes, that makes sense to me. Well, thank you very much. Thank you, Bashar. I'd like to say, I'm glad to meet you. I'm from New York. New York. This is my first channeling, so I'm a little surprised to be the first questioner. No, all right. That ought to no accident. However, I understand it. That's why I came up. All right. The specific subject I wanted to ask you to talk about is very narrowly binge eating. Really more broadly compulsive addiction and that sort of thing. And trying to understand it, why I have it and what I have it and what was. It will happen. All right. I'm sure you understand. May I ask you a question? Yes. All right. Are you sure? Yes, all right. Yes, absolutely. Now, honestly examine. Within yourself, the idea of believing, or let me simply ask you, do you believe that you that you might run out of things in life? in life that there might not be quite enough for everyone? Yes, probably. No, all right. Maybe, maybe not. The idea in general for any sort of what to call a compulsive addiction, first of all, is the belief that has been ingrained in most of you since birth that the power is not within you, but is in the things around you. around you. Therefore, when you think that the power is in the things around you, in order to feel more powerful, you have to have more, more, more of what is around you. Because you feel empty, devoid of that power, of that foundation, of that stability.

all, is the belief that has been ingrained in most of you since birth that the power is not within you, but is in the things around you. around you. Therefore, when you think that the power is in the things around you, in order to feel more powerful, you have to have more, more, more of what is around you. Because you feel empty, devoid of that power, of that foundation, of that stability. The idea, first and foremost, is to some degree, and attempt exteriorly to replace what you have been taught to believe, interiorly, you don't possess. But if you start allowing yourself to recognize that the placement of the power in the symbol outside is, in a sense, the removal of your own power from you, that you are still using your own power to do that, and you take that power back and cease to believe in the power believe in all the belief systems that deny you, your power, as an aspect of the infinite, when you then bring your self-empowerment back to you and start taking responsibility for all the creations in your life, that does not mean blame, that means freedom of choice, by the way. When you take responsibility for all the creations in your life, you will then begin to feel that energy within you. You will start to feel full filled of that energy and in feeling full filled, you will not necessarily then assume that you have some sort of a void that is constantly empty, that you are constantly attempting to fill endlessly, endlessly, endlessly, endlessly. Now, the idea to some degree sometimes when it connects itself to an immediate rejection, what you call then a purging of the idea, will simply represent your overall consciousness as awareness that the exterior is not what has the power. It is you, bring it back to you. By allowing you to understand you must always rely on yourself, not on the exterior ideas, but that relying on yourself is not a matter of effort, is not a matter of stamina. This is one of the great misconceptions, if I may call of that in your society, that the idea of being able to maintain a view of yourself that you desire to maintain, somehow requires stamina. It doesn't. It doesn't. All it requires is a definition, a clear definition of what it is you really believe yourself to be or what you really believe you desire to be, and then a decision to be that person, to act like that person, that you desire to be. That's all it takes. Your decisions sticks. Addiction is simply the lack of belief that you have that power. And therefore, any power it is assumed for must be in your life, from that viewpoint, must come from exterior ideas.

it is you really believe yourself to be or what you really believe you desire to be, and then a decision to be that person, to act like that person, that you desire to be. That's all it takes. Your decisions sticks. Addiction is simply the lack of belief that you have that power. And therefore, any power it is assumed for must be in your life, from that viewpoint, must come from exterior ideas. To fulfill the emptiness that you have been left with because of how your society has taught you to think of yourself as not being in control. understand so far uh most of it yes all right is this assisting you at all you're really speaking about creating your own reality and everyone does we are answering your question on a very foundational fundamental level so that all individuals may apply their particular perspective to what you have shared to be your specific situation but it applies nonetheless the idea of any type of what you may call an overindulgence in anything exterior is usually based on the assumption that you don't have what you need to begin with and that you have to do that, you have to binge because you do not believe there will be enough. Understand? Yes, no, maybe. Yeah, I understand. I get the only other part. Yeah. That's an intellectual... An intellectual... level, I can understand that. One moment, one moment. When you say that's on an intellectual level, you are making a distinction that does not inherently exist. If you understand it, you can learn to assume that you actually do understand it on all levels, rather than just assuming that you only understand it on one. Just because you don't necessarily feel it in a certain way doesn't mean you don't have the level. mean you don't have the understanding you need. The idea that you can understand something just intellectually or just emotionally is one of the definitions your society has taught you to buy into. To make that segregation, that separation, that allows you now to have the experience you're having right now with this information. You understand it on far more levels than you think. However, the first step in transforming it is to, first of all, acknowledge the reason for why you would be doing it to begin with. Once you own that you are choosing to do it out of your freedom of choice, you place it squarely under your control. It is not something that's happening to you, it's happening through you, because nothing does happen to you. Nothing comes from the outside. Nothing is an uncontrollable addiction. Nothing is really a habit once you know you have it. if you know you have a habit, you don't have it anymore by definition. Because a habit is something you do that you don't know you're doing.

of choice, you place it squarely under your control. It is not something that's happening to you, it's happening through you, because nothing does happen to you. Nothing comes from the outside. Nothing is an uncontrollable addiction. Nothing is really a habit once you know you have it. if you know you have a habit, you don't have it anymore by definition. Because a habit is something you do that you don't know you're doing. If you know you have it, you have to be outside of it, quote unquote, in order to see that you had it to begin with. So once you are aware of the fact of what you're doing, that is really no longer you. And it is only an assumption, a belief, a definition, definition that for some reason it is difficult to stop doing it, that you keep doing it. It isn't anything inherent in the circumstance itself from that point forward that makes it difficult to stop. It is only your assumption, the definition you have been said in your reality that makes it seem difficult to stop, because your definition of that idea is that it is difficult to stop. to stop. And it is only the definition that gives it that power. Nothing inherent within the circumstance itself. Understand? Yes. Is this assisting you? Yes, very much. Is there some specific idea that you feel is not being touched that we might be able to clear up? I'm still groping a little bit for technique. All right. You are missing the point. Now, we can give you a thousand and one, a million and one technique. Your imagination can supply you with whatever technique will work best for you. That's what your imagination is for. That's how it works best. So, you are quite capable of creating whatever technique you desire. And even if we gave you a technique, your imagination would alter it to fit to you anyway. However, you are also under the assumption that you need a technique to make a technique to make a change. The idea we have just outlined it, if you are willing to understand the concept we are discussing, is in and of itself, all the technique that really is fundamentally necessary. In other words, the realization of what your circumstance is in and of itself is the transition of that circumstance. As we have said in simpler terms, if you're aware of the habit, you don't really have it anymore. have it anymore. All you have to do is understand you don't have it and stop acting or pretending like you do. Now, we do not mean pretending in the sense that we are calling out that you are doing something false in that sense. That is not what we mean.

the transition of that circumstance. As we have said in simpler terms, if you're aware of the habit, you don't really have it anymore. have it anymore. All you have to do is understand you don't have it and stop acting or pretending like you do. Now, we do not mean pretending in the sense that we are calling out that you are doing something false in that sense. That is not what we mean. But the I&D is that if you know you have a habit, you don't have it anymore, all you have to do is see the you would prefer to you would prefer to be. Do you see the you would prefer to be? Do you have a picture of what that you would be like? I can't create that in my mind. Go right ahead. Create it now. Have you got it? Yes. All right. Now, that you, however it looked, now, do you really believe that what you have in your visualization, in your imagination, in your imagination, is representative sufficiently of the you really prefer to be. Yes or no? Yes. All right. Does it excite you when you then consider that that you in your imagination could be you? Yes. Does it really excite you? Yes. Can you feel what it would be like to be that you? Yes. Are you sure? Use all your senses. Get into it. Put it on. Wear it. Be. that you in your imagination. Feel what it would be like to be that you. How does it feel? Describe it to me. What would it be like to be that you? It feels very adult. Very adult. All right. Very adult. What else? Get excited about it and describe it to me representative of the level of excitement you are about it. Use all your senses. How does it feel? How does your body feel? What things attract you? What things do you notice? What kind of things do you hear? Smell, taste, see, feel? What is this body like? What is that new you like? Well, well, well, well. There's an absence of the battle. All right. All right, all right. Fair enough. However, I did not ask you what it is not. I asked you what it is. It feels free. Free! In what way? What does that mean? Does it mean it feels like that body could get up and just run as far and fast as it really wanted to, and it would feel absolute ecstasy in doing so? Yes. All right, are you sure now? I don't want to push you into this. Is it a body that laughs easily that experiences great joy and depth of breath? Is it an expansive reality? Yes. Yes. All right. Yeah. Can you feel it? Yes. Then you are it right now. Believe it or not. You are it right now.

fast as it really wanted to, and it would feel absolute ecstasy in doing so? Yes. All right, are you sure now? I don't want to push you into this. Is it a body that laughs easily that experiences great joy and depth of breath? Is it an expansive reality? Yes. Yes. All right. Yeah. Can you feel it? Yes. Then you are it right now. Believe it or not. You are it right now. Now, in the very next moment, You can decide, you can choose, you can define, oh, that's not me yet. Couldn't be me yet. Everyone knows it will take some time before I could ever be that. Why? Is my question to you. Why? This is an illustration of what we were saying. If you know what you prefer. If you can really feel it and use your imagination to see it, you are it right now. Now does that seem to indicate to you a little stronger understanding than just what you formerly call the intellectual? Yes, I do understand. All right, then. It is up to you. However you define yourself at any given moment is what you will. It's what you will. will be. Plain and simple. If you have any situation or circumstance in your life and you are not sure as the you are now how to handle it, this is what your imagination is for. Create the you you prefer to be. Invest it with life. Use all your senses. Get into it as you say. Take the situation. Hand it To the you, you prefer to be, and watch what that you does with it. Do the same thing, and you'll get the same result. That's what your imagination is for. It is the template, the blueprint. Follow it, mirror it, be it, be that person, you will have the same kind of life. Exactly. Understand? Yes, I do. Does that work for you? I think so. Your enthusiasm. is infectious, yes. Now remember one other thing. What you see in me is a reflection of what I know you are. You are seeing you. Be that you, if you prefer to be. I reflect what you can choose to be. It is up to you. Utterly. Thank you. Thank you. very much. Would you believe it has to still be difficult? I guess, uh... No, one more. One more. There are many definitions. Perhaps this will illustrate one idea. Many definitions your society has created to allow you to believe that life must be difficult. We have discovered a favorite. No pain. No gays. Now you all want to gain, but if you have the absolute unswerving belief that you have to have pain in order to gain, you'll suffer. But why believe that you have to have the pain? Oh, that's another belief. That's the big one. Another belief. I'm going to give you another one you might enjoy. Oh, all right.

Oh, that's another belief. That's the big one. Another belief. I'm going to give you another one you might enjoy. Oh, all right. In a former practice that I was involved in, we had a saying called making it go right. Yeah. Very tiring. And I guess that's what it's been doing for a long time here. All right. Have you been losing a lot of weight? Not a lot of weight. I think I'm putting some on. Oh, all right. Losing a lot of sleep, maybe. Very good. You always, in many cases, put on a lot of weight when you are waiting to do what really excites you. Because you are energy. And if you're not using your energy, it converts into mass until you decide to use it. And that can weigh you down, too, and make you even more tired, because then you have that much more mass to move along. That's very interesting. You said, there's part of the question that I wanted to ask you. In the early stages of this practice, I was interested in what you might call astral projection or exteriorization. I understand. And during a time period of trying to apply that. One moment. Can you all hear this individual adequately? Speak up. Okay. During a time period of applying that concept, I developed an energy or a mass has been working for the last 15 to 60 years. Yes. Sometimes that will happen. Because when you begin to explore things you think or have been taught to think will take you away from the physical where you chose to be, sometimes you'll add a little extra weight to ground yourself. I see. You don't need it. As long as you allow yourself to understand that you can be firmly blended and firmly grounded. You do not necessarily have to have the extra, shall we say, balance. Just in case. It's only when you think in terms of just in case that you create those kinds of situations where you carry things you don't need. Understand? Yes, I do. Any particular, I know it's probably going to be simpler than what I'm trying to make it. Any suggestions as to what I might do to blend that or to find out movies? Absolutely. Lighten up. On yourself. The idea of your journey does not have to be so serious. Lighten up. That's what it's all about. When you lighten up, you'll be enlightened at the same time. Excellent. I feel about 20 pounds later right now. Thank you very much. Pleasant dreams. Thank you.
