Being Your Natural Self (Part 5 of 5)

Hi, Bashar. And are you good day. Good day. Synchronistically, I've been thinking about paradox a lot. Oh, all right. But you know what? What? I don't think I get it yet. Don't get what? How to use the power of it. It is simply a recognition that you apply. Again, let's use the example that was already given this transmission. Individuals are labeling a particular experience, defining a particular experience, defining a particular experience as remote viewing. The recognition that it is not actually remote allows you to apply a different relationship to the experience. I did get that. Well, that's the power of paradox. That's using the power of paradox. It begins with a recognition and usually a redefinition. The redefinition. The redefinition. The definition allows you to have understanding of how to approach the experience from a different way, sometimes even completely 180 degrees different. Again, it is similar to what we have done when we have redefine the issues of trust, redefine the issues of doubt. These are, again, recognitions of another way to define something so that you can actually use the power of its opposite, the power of paradox. to balance the issue out and create a definition that actually will allow you to really know what's happening rather than simply being stuck on the definitions that have been given. Or moving back and forth between the two paradox. Well, if that serves you to do so, but generally when you find that you have redefined something and find that it is more in alignment with what you prefer, it is not always necessary to go back and forth unless going back and forth is in an back and forth is in and of itself the issue at hand, the experience you want, and thus you have, in a sense, created a paradox within a paradox. Okay, because yeah, I think I do that. Yes. Well, then that's your choice. Yeah. But I would like... You are being paradoxical about the use of paradox. And so what's the effect of that? It makes you ask questions that reveal answers to yourself about yourself. Oh, I have been having a question. Good time, that's for sure. Yes. It allows you to examine yourself from different points of view to ultimately fine-tune and refine the perspective at any given moment that you actually prefer. Well, it seems like when you're in the balance point between, that's such a neutral place. Yes. It's not as exciting. That's because you are defining neutrality as dull, paradoxically enough. You see what we're doing? You see what we're getting at? Because I'm defining it as dull. I don't get all the excitement that really comes with it. Again, when you are at the true zero point, or what we prefer to call the true zero point, our definition of being in the neutral position is breathtaking. You see? It's how you define.

as exciting. That's because you are defining neutrality as dull, paradoxically enough. You see what we're doing? You see what we're getting at? Because I'm defining it as dull. I don't get all the excitement that really comes with it. Again, when you are at the true zero point, or what we prefer to call the true zero point, our definition of being in the neutral position is breathtaking. You see? It's how you define. Even neutrality can have a spin, and therein lies the paradox. Yeah, and so, okay, so I haven't really fully experienced that. Yes. But I notice that I enjoy experiencing bliss a lot. By whatever you might choose to define it as at any given moment, yes. Okay, but certain states of bliss don't seem to involve a lot of cognitive activity? This is sometimes correct. Is that just a very healing state? It can be. In the same sense as what you call delta sleep is a very healing state for the very healing state for the a healing state for the body and in that sense represents apparently the most physically unconscious state. Though there is actually a level below that vibrational. So is there a benefit to doing that for me? There can be from time to time. Again, overall, it depends on how you use it overall. Well, you know, if I choose what excites me the most, that I will choose that a lot. For a while. Again, listen carefully. Yeah. Each of the those experiences can be representative of your excitement. You might often choose that experience. Then, however, you also have to look at the overall reason why you might often choose that experience to make sure that the overall reason for choosing that experience often is itself actually representative of your joy. Or is that an escape? You see? Does that help explain the layers to the paradox? Is that the other thing is on the language? Do you mean the ancient Esassani language? Yes. I worked a lot with the idea of the yes. And one thing I found out is that in the English language, there doesn't seem to be any letters that really truly represent the intaking of breath. What a surprise? Is that because it's a, is that making a, like a male language? male language or that it's more... In a sense, yes. It makes it a more, quote unquote, aggressive language rather than a receptive one. Yes, so the closest I could get was H-W-P for yes. And T-T-U-H for no. C-H. C-H. C. Okay, because, yeah, I wasn't able to tell for sure on that. Okay. And I wondered. You have dolphins on your planet, right? We have a few from your world, yes. What did they call them? They came at a time when we already were no longer using our language. Do you understand? Yeah, okay, yeah. All right, thank you very much. One moment. One moment.

for yes. And T-T-U-H for no. C-H. C-H. C. Okay, because, yeah, I wasn't able to tell for sure on that. Okay. And I wondered. You have dolphins on your planet, right? We have a few from your world, yes. What did they call them? They came at a time when we already were no longer using our language. Do you understand? Yeah, okay, yeah. All right, thank you very much. One moment. One moment. We will see if we can give you a translation of the vibrational telepathic connection that we specifically used to recognize dolphin consciousness. Okay. One moment. Did you get that? One more time. One more time. Again another intake, but more of what you would call? the similar mouth position that you use for but inward. It is similar to what you call a gasp, but longer, more in duration, and with the polarized intention of the same quietude that you equate to the outward expression that is also analogous to the sound of your ocean waves. But in this case, you follow? Uh-huh. Will that help you? Yes, that'll help a lot. Why, thank you. You may simply wish to spell shh backwards. Okay, thanks for the help. You are welcome. And then, Good day. Good day, Bashar, at all. I want to make a statement and I have two questions about it. One, is it true, and two, if it is true, how do we, the best word I can think of is reconcile it. This is the statement. If we have the ability to create our reality moment by moment, when we reach a conscious level where we can manifest what we want on any given moment, is there a particular reason to kind of hang out in the human form? in the human form. Yes. It's fun. The idea is that an entity who might receive what you are hypothetically referring to as complete consciousness with regard to the idea that they are creating their physiological reality doesn't necessarily arrive at a point where they want to stop experiencing that. Therefore, if they deem that there is a reason, their own reason, even if they're If the simple reason, this is still fun, then they will continue to experience the idea of physicalization. If, however, arriving at that point of consciousness to them means that they have, quote unquote, gone beyond the need for further physiological experience, then they will, in a sense, ascend. Thank you. Thank you. Does that help you? Absolutely. Why? Thank you. Sure. You and then you. Number two, do you know who you are? One moment. Number one. Number two. All right. Hi, Bashar. Tell you a good day. I had a couple of interesting dreams this week that I wanted to share. Yes. The first one was I was with about four or five different people, men and women, and we were on another planet, and there was a lot of...

Absolutely. Why? Thank you. Sure. You and then you. Number two, do you know who you are? One moment. Number one. Number two. All right. Hi, Bashar. Tell you a good day. I had a couple of interesting dreams this week that I wanted to share. Yes. The first one was I was with about four or five different people, men and women, and we were on another planet, and there was a lot of... A lot of dirt and the covering to where we were at was like this white domed and we were government people were doing some kind of government thing and people couldn't see us. And it was kind of weird and then I woke up. Can you be more descriptive of the planetary surface? Oh, I didn't, it was just lots of dirt, dark brown. Color? dark brown like soil. Yes. But there weren't a lot of people. All right. And you experience, again, the idea of a dome structure? Yes. One. Color white. Just the one we were in, white. White. You were in it? Not outside it? No, inside of it. Inside. And it was a dirt floor. Dirt floor? Yes. Could you not then see beyond the walls of the dome? That's a good question. I mean, I knew that there wasn't like anybody else around. like anybody else around, but yet I knew that we were inside of the structure. So I guess I could. Apparently, as far as you could tell, what did it appear to be made out of the dome? I'm not sure, but I would say maybe steel or something. I don't know. In that you perceive it was, what, smooth? Yes. And hard? Yes. Yet white. Yes. degree of translucency at all? Or did it seem completely opaque, as you would call paint? It would seem opaque as I would call paint while I was in it, but yet I was aware that there was nothing else around us, but we were somewhere else. But there were, I didn't see any other people, but the group of us, and we had some kind of uniforms on. Define. Like, we were government, we were doing something with the government, and we were dressed in these, like, I would say, navy. Are you referring to a color or a branch of military on your planet? A color. A color. Yeah, and I could remember seeing a patch on one of the guy's arms. Which looked like... White. Any insignia within? No, I didn't get anything. Are you sure? No, I'm not sure, but I can't think right now. Or I'm not asking you to think. I don't. I can't... When I picture the image in my head, I don't... I can't see an insignia. All right. Are you looking at your own patch or another person's patch? Another person's patch. I'm not sure what I was wearing, but I know that somebody else was wearing.

No, I didn't get anything. Are you sure? No, I'm not sure, but I can't think right now. Or I'm not asking you to think. I don't. I can't... When I picture the image in my head, I don't... I can't see an insignia. All right. Are you looking at your own patch or another person's patch? Another person's patch. I'm not sure what I was wearing, but I know that somebody else was wearing. I assumed I was wearing it until now. But now that I think about it, I don't remember looking at myself and seeing what I was wearing. Look at yourself now. Are you wearing the same thing? Like now in my head in my dream? Yes. Yes. I thought I was. All right. Good enough. Can you look at your own patch? No. All right. Don't be disappointed. No, I'm not. I'm just trying to be, you know. All right. Now. Honest or truthful here. Oh, thank you so much. Now. One moment. One moment. And how do you feel about your connection to Orion? I never really thought about it. Think about it now. My connection to Orion. Yes. I don't know what to say. What do you feel when it comes up? How did you feel in this dream? Well, there weren't a lot of people. around it seemed kind of desolate. Yes. And how did that feel? I don't know. I'm not sure what I'm feeling about it. I just know that it was different and it was dark because there weren't a lot of people around. Do you find that you feel confused about this? Yeah. One moment. All right. What you will call. What you will call. We perceive your Saturday night. You understand? No. Tomorrow. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm in the past. Tomorrow. Yes. When you go to sleep, ask to go back to that spot. Open up to the idea of symbolism. Symbolism, archetype, memory, significance for you. See if you can pull in more experiential memory of what that place represents to you. Think time past. All right? And see if you can hone in more strongly on that position. For in a sense, it is a target area. a target area. See if you can pick up first what you can before we discuss this further. Okay. But think Orion, think ancient, and see if you can bring to bear more memory and more clarity about this place and time. Yeah, because the people that were there I didn't recognize any of them. You will, to some degree, at least symbolically. Yeah, okay. And we will talk about this. this particular thing. I have another... Yes. This past week also, I had a dream about my grandma the other day. Yes. And we were never really close, but, and it's been about 20 years since she passed over. Yes. And in my dream, she was standing in front of me.

were there I didn't recognize any of them. You will, to some degree, at least symbolically. Yeah, okay. And we will talk about this. this particular thing. I have another... Yes. This past week also, I had a dream about my grandma the other day. Yes. And we were never really close, but, and it's been about 20 years since she passed over. Yes. And in my dream, she was standing in front of me. We were holding hands and she was talking to me, and I normally could remember a lot about my dreams, and I have no idea what she was telling me, which was kind of odd to me. What is your physiological age? age? 34. And her approximate age at the time of physical passage? Sixty-one or two, I think. One moment. Maybe a little bit older than that. One moment. One moment. You may be about to experience. You may be about to experience an extreme life-changing. life-changing circumstance and or opportunity and or incident. She may in that sense be holding your hand to help you adjust to the shifts. You follow? That makes a lot of sense. Does that help you then? Yeah, it also makes sense because of what you opened with talking to us about following our, well, you know, the general following our excitement and not being afraid to do things. And I've been at a job for over 10 years and I decided that I'm not happy there. All right. So I went on a job interview and they were interested, but I'm just waiting for them to hire some people for me to go meet and see if it works out. In a sense, she is holding your hand through this. Saying that it's the right thing. Yes. Yeah. Keep moving. You're doing fine. But I understand what this other gentleman over here was saying when, you know, you're afraid because it was a security for me for a long time. Yes, but now you are learning that change is the only true security because change is the only true is the only true constant. Right, and I realize that, and I also realized a lot of things about myself that, you know, my being afraid that I can't do something, which I know that I can, and I'm fully capable, I just have to learn how to do it their way. And so... Or you can learn to do it your way within the parameters of what works best for all concerns. Right. I think I'll be okay. I know I'll be okay. You are okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Hi, Bashar. Do you good day. I had three things I wanted to ask about. Number one. Number one. Number one. I have these episodes at night. Episodes. Episodes. Where I become absolutely on fire, head to toe. Physiological. Are you talking about or some other state?

concerns. Right. I think I'll be okay. I know I'll be okay. You are okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Hi, Bashar. Do you good day. I had three things I wanted to ask about. Number one. Number one. Number one. I have these episodes at night. Episodes. Episodes. Where I become absolutely on fire, head to toe. Physiological. Are you talking about or some other state? I'm talking physiologically. Yes. It's amazing sense of heat, which I never have in my body. Is it in your terms unpleasant or simply interesting? It's unpleasant. Oh, all right. It's unpleasant. Yes. I've been thinking that it's an endrican imbalance, but what occurred to me recently as a possibility is I'm not certain of the correlation, but it seems as though I've been taking monotomic gold during the times that that has been occurring. This could be an accelerant in your system, yes, since it is. yes, since it is in that sense generally an accelerant. Well, no. You are certain you are not menopausal. Yeah, though they said that that's not it at all. All right. The question I have, someone had told me that when you did a session, a private session about the monotomic goal, that you had mentioned that if there was sufficient toxicity in the body, that you could spontaneously combust. Yes. Now, I've got this at four in the morning, I really do think I'm going to I really do think I'm going to spontaneously combust, and I really need you to tell me that I'm not. Are you doing what you can to cleanse and balance your system and remove as many toxins as you can? Great hesitation. It usually means no. I am. But? But, probably not to the degree that I should be. There's not a should. I think my diet is excellent. I've been drinking water for the first time in my. I like. Then what are you referring to when you say not to the degree I prefer to? Because I've been feeling lately as though there's something that I need to address. There's a toxicity. I keep seeking out cleansing programs and I'm experimenting with some. So just intuitively, I think, I need to do that. All right. You are, to some degree, feeling the acceleration. And to some degree it may be because of the dichotomy of certain neurobiological shifts within your body that you are experiencing it this way. In some sense, you may also be actually creating a heat threshold in your system specifically for the purpose of initiating certain glandular actions, certain biochemical actions that actually ultimately will assist in purging you of some of these toxin. In the same conceptual way that a fever can burn out the idea of parasitic infection.

be because of the dichotomy of certain neurobiological shifts within your body that you are experiencing it this way. In some sense, you may also be actually creating a heat threshold in your system specifically for the purpose of initiating certain glandular actions, certain biochemical actions that actually ultimately will assist in purging you of some of these toxin. In the same conceptual way that a fever can burn out the idea of parasitic infection. You may be giving yourself an opportunity to become a crucible, a forge, in which there literally may be being created a state of vibratory resonance in which some of these things cannot exist, cannot remain, and may, in a sense, euphemistically be speaking, being sweated out of your system. sweat it out of your system. You follow? Yes, I do. That actually leads me to my second question. Oh, why thank you for your synchronicity? Yeah. I had an interaction recently. The first part of it I wanted to ask you about is a very, very clear, conscious awareness of lights being shined in my eyes in my room. Oh, what? Yes. Was that on a third-dimensional level? If there were... Not exactly, but you... Well, exactly, but you did bring the interpretation into your third-dimensional reality, even though it was, in a sense, more of a higher vibration than what you typically call third. Okay. And the paralysis field has such a distinct electrical component. Yes. Sometimes it's electrical and sometimes it's very distinctly magnetic. Yes. And I can feel it in very specific parts of my body. It moves very clearly. Yes. And? And. Some of what you are experiencing as the heat is a side effect of you getting a handle on learning to manipulate that electromagnetic field yourself instead of simply having it imposed upon you. In a sense, you are beginning to learn to manipulate it in such a way that you can actually begin to consciously decide what parallel realities to experience. You follow? Mm-hmm. Sometimes the idea of electromagnetic resonance potential, when not completely understood or aligned within you, will dump out its side effect energy as heat through resistance, yeah. Mm-hmm. So you are also manipulating this electromagnetic field yourself. And some of the... Okay. Thank you. Yes. The last area I wanted to talk about is I haven't mentioned Jonathan for some time. Yes. And I, Bill has been working on him with William Gray. And I've reached this kind of a strange point with him. Strange point. Well, as I was sitting here in the energy with you tonight, it just sort of occurred to me that it's almost like trying to come to a resolution with a Zen koan. It's, I've spent a year. You mean? sound of one hand clapping? Yeah. Well, that answer is that. Thank you. You do that again? I've always wondered about that. That would be a Zen joke to the Zen Khoa. Thank you.

point. Well, as I was sitting here in the energy with you tonight, it just sort of occurred to me that it's almost like trying to come to a resolution with a Zen koan. It's, I've spent a year. You mean? sound of one hand clapping? Yeah. Well, that answer is that. Thank you. You do that again? I've always wondered about that. That would be a Zen joke to the Zen Khoa. Thank you. Does that ignite you sufficiently? Well, what... I'm going to let you ponder what just happened. Oh, dear. Okay. Number three. Hi, Baja. To you good day. Um, I talked to you, how long ago was it a month about? Oh, all right. I'm just talked about smoking and I'm still very confused. About what? What are you confused? You tell me that I'm obviously not ready. not ready to experience my higher power or my higher self because I'm still smoking. You may be using it that way, yes. But I am. That it frustrates me so very much. Why are you frustrated? This is your choice. Don't be frustrated. It is your choice. No, it's not. You are choosing it. You see, that's the denial that actually doesn't allow you to learn to change. You have. have to acknowledge and own that it is your choice to do what you are doing. Because if you don't own what you do, you can't change it. Okay, you're right there. Thank you. But... So, if you are choosing it, then acknowledge and own that you are choosing it. Because you are all motivated to do what you do. And if you were motivated in another direction, you'd be doing something else. So if you keep choosing that, it simply means you are motivated to do. motivated, based on your definition of why you think you need to be motivated to make that choice. So own it that you are making a choice. That brings it back into your control. Okay. Because then at least it's an honest recognition that you are making the choice. All right. That's the beginning. You're right. Okay, I acknowledge that. Oh, I thank you. But... Yes. And... And... I would love you to help me a little bit. Oh, well, all right. Please. The idea, again, to go a little bit further into the concept of motivation is that you do everything for only one of two reasons. And that is that you perceive what you're doing as more pleasurable and less painful than any other choice you could make. So, the question is, how does not smoking represent to you more pain than continuing to smoke? As painful as that might be? Well, I know. past more than a week and this week it has been very painful. But answer the question. How does choosing to not smoke to you seem more painful than smoking? It doesn't. Obviously it does. You're not getting the point.

less painful than any other choice you could make. So, the question is, how does not smoking represent to you more pain than continuing to smoke? As painful as that might be? Well, I know. past more than a week and this week it has been very painful. But answer the question. How does choosing to not smoke to you seem more painful than smoking? It doesn't. Obviously it does. You're not getting the point. You have to understand there are two perspectives here. There is what we will call the ideal point of view, the soul level. Higher sense. point of view of the circumstance and the physiological personalities point of view. The soul's point of view can say, obviously stopping smoking would be representative of more joy. However, if the personality continues to smoke, the personality is actually saying, no. Continuing to smoke is less painful and more pleasurable. more pleasurable than stopping because the personality is constructed from definitions. And the definitions that construct your personality say to smoke is less painful than stopping. So even though the ideal self may say, well, no, I know it would be more representative of my joy to not smoke, the personality, which is the one that's smoking, says no, it would be more painful to stop. because of the definition that makes up the personality. So you have to find out what is the definition in the personality that says stopping would be more painful. In fact, it can actually be very fundamental. Even the concept itself, pay attention here, this is critical, even the concept itself of having to stop is a definition. I'll explain. As we have discussed before, when you make a change, you really actually are completely different, a completely new person, who actually doesn't have the history of the other person that was there a moment ago. If you really are a new person, it doesn't mean that you are the same person different. It means you are a person you have never been before. been before, that has never been here before, that has no history at all. The concept of being a person with no history who simply doesn't smoke is very different than the concept of a person who stopped smoking. You're creating a continuity where none needs to be. The very concept that you need to stop may in and of itself be. be what's creating difficulty in your definitions because the concept of having to stop may be being defined by you as deprivation. I have to stop. You don't even have to define the incident or experience that way. If you truly understand and experience the idea that every change is a total change and that all of a sudden the you you are now is actually a you that has never been you that has never been here before, then you can be a you that never smoked, therefore never had to stop.

by you as deprivation. I have to stop. You don't even have to define the incident or experience that way. If you truly understand and experience the idea that every change is a total change and that all of a sudden the you you are now is actually a you that has never been you that has never been here before, then you can be a you that never smoked, therefore never had to stop. So you may be needing to even examine the most fundamental levels of how you're thinking about this concept of not smoking. It may not be an issue of having to stop. It is simply an issue of defining yourself as a person that never did. and doesn't now. Okay, but there's unfortunately still this physiological. But see, you're making an excuse. You're making an excuse. Stop trying, that's the point. Stop trying. You think you have to try. You think you have to try. You don't have to try. You just have to be who you prefer to be ideally. Being who you prefer to be ideally. Being who you prefer to be ideally. Being who you prefer to be ideal. ideally will allow you to experience yourself as a person who simply never smoked and that means would never have the urge to do so. It's not in her makeup. But the idea is, is that if you do continue to choose to smoke, you are choosing that every moment by giving the moment a definition that says smoking somehow is in your best interest as the person you're defining yourself to be. Again, choice comes from motivation and comes from definition. So you have to own the fact that if you are deciding to smoke, it's because you have assessed that your definition of the circumstance, of the situation, of who you are, makes that choice less painful and more pleasurable than what you believe as a personality, the alternative to be. So for example, if somehow you think, Changing is more difficult, more of a struggle, something hard to maintain, or any of those definitions, or a thousand other definitions, you will weigh the two choices and you will say, changing is more painful, it's more of an effort to maintain, it's this, it's that, and that outweighs the pain of continuing to smoke. Therefore I will continue to smoke. Because you always are motivated, all of you are always motivated instantly and instinctive. and instinctively, automatically, in the direction of what you perceive or define to be the greater pleasure and the least painful. So when you change your definition, you will automatically be motivated to not smoke. But if you do smoke, you are motivated to by your definition of the comparison you are defining between choosing to smoke and not.

to smoke. Because you always are motivated, all of you are always motivated instantly and instinctive. and instinctively, automatically, in the direction of what you perceive or define to be the greater pleasure and the least painful. So when you change your definition, you will automatically be motivated to not smoke. But if you do smoke, you are motivated to by your definition of the comparison you are defining between choosing to smoke and not. So as long as you continue to smoke, you are obviously to smoke, You are obviously, and let it be obvious, you are obviously saying that not smoking somehow in your mind, in your definitions, involves something that is inherently more painful, more difficult, more of a strain, more of a struggle than simply choosing to smoke. That's the whole point. You are defining not smoking as being more painful and less pleasurable than smoking. smoking. So you have to find out why you are defining it that way. Find out what the definition is. Then when you know what the definition is, you have assigned arbitrarily to the concept of not smoking that makes not smoking seem more painful than choosing to smoke. When you know what that definition is, it will be easier for you to switch the definition. And when you have assigned not smoking less pain than continuing to smoke, to smoke, you will automatically be motivated to not smoke. You will be a person who never did. That's how it works. The assignment, the assignment of pain and pleasure is what you're dealing with. You have a definition now to which you have assigned pain, but less pain than the change you ideally say you want to make. So you have to change the amount of pain that you say exists in the change in the change you want to make. You have to allow that to become less painful than what you're doing if you really actually want to be motivated to change. Because you always choose what you are motivated to choose based on what you define your motivation to be. That's all there is to it. So get in touch with what it could be that you're assigning to the idea of not smoking that makes that choice seem so much more difficult. more difficult than doing what you're choosing to do. Simple as that. It is as simple as that, I guarantee. You follow? I follow. Pleasant dreams. Can I take one more thing? Yes. Okay, so does it have, does this somewhere is a relation to me being sick with arthritis? the smoking and arthritis. Well, let me ask you a question. If you stopped smoking, does that mean you would have to look at something or focus on something you're reluctant to look at now? Does the smoking, does the choice to smoke, give you a reason to not look at something you're afraid to look at? Does it occupy your? occupy your senses?

this somewhere is a relation to me being sick with arthritis? the smoking and arthritis. Well, let me ask you a question. If you stopped smoking, does that mean you would have to look at something or focus on something you're reluctant to look at now? Does the smoking, does the choice to smoke, give you a reason to not look at something you're afraid to look at? Does it occupy your? occupy your senses? Does it cover something up as a smokescreen? Probably. What? Well, I never could define that. I mean, I just know what this is... What are you afraid to look at? Your concept of mortality? No. Are you sure? The concept of mortality? Yes. Concepts of mortality involve the concept of physical pain and suffering, such as the concept of concept of arthritis, stiffening, pain in movement, inflexibility, death. You follow? Yeah, it's interesting because I'm absolutely not afraid about death or dying. But you are creating the idea of pain. You follow? I think so. All right. The arthritic pain, in that sense, therefore, is a manifestation of a deeper fear that you have not yet acknowledged. not yet acknowledged or faced. Your fear of your mortality is unconscious still. It is not the idea exactly. I'll be more specific. It is not the idea exactly of fear of dying. It is fear of mortality. You are afraid that you are a mortal. You understand? You're not afraid of dying. You're afraid of dying. that you are a mortal being. That's what you are afraid of. Does that make sense to you? In a sense, actually, to some degree to get out of it, you would rather die than be a mortal being, as you have been taught to define mortality. Does that make sense? I don't mean mortality in the sense of death. I mean mortality in the sense of having to live. You are in pain that you are having to live in the way your world has taught you, physical life should be. Therefore, in a sense, you are actually doing things that will kill yourself because you don't want to live the way people tell you physical life has to be lived. Because to you, you've been taught it's painful. So you're manifesting exactly that idea. Yes, look, arthritic pain. arthritic pain. They were right. I'm going to get out of here. This isn't for me. Well, I started smoking much earlier than my arthritis pain came in. Yes, I know. Okay. But that's the point. The smoking was the symptom that you then used to prove the point to justify your ability to continue to do that. But I was always a big rebel. I never... Yes, I know. Don't you get it? ...accepted what people said. This is the way to live. Pay attention. There is no need to rebel if you don't feel that what they're saying is true. Right.

Yes, I know. Okay. But that's the point. The smoking was the symptom that you then used to prove the point to justify your ability to continue to do that. But I was always a big rebel. I never... Yes, I know. Don't you get it? ...accepted what people said. This is the way to live. Pay attention. There is no need to rebel if you don't feel that what they're saying is true. Right. You are afraid that what they're saying is true. That's why you rebel. When you know your own truth, you don't have to rebel. You just say, that's not me. Thank you. You're right in that sense... But you see, the act and the physical energy that goes along with actual opposition, as you say rebellion, means you actually believe you are controlled by them. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to rebel. A transparent window doesn't have to rebel against the light. It just goes right through. But if you rebel, then in a sense you're actually saying that you believe what they're telling you. And so you have to recoil from it. But recoiling from it is a reinforcement that you're actually saying that you believe what they're telling you. But recoiling from it is a reinforcement. that they have power and you don't. That's what we're saying. You actually bought into the idea that life is painful, that mortality is painful, and that's why you felt you had to rebel. When you actually let the idea go, you will be at peace. You will breathe easier with yourself. And then you will be clear and will not need to obscure the issue with the smoke screen. That's the point. So take a breath now. And with every deep breath, feel yourself being washed, clear of any need for rebellion. Simply create reunion with yourself and what you know to be true so that you don't need to oppose. You simply know. know what is not true for you. And you can be at ease and breathe easily with yourself and with being yourself and all the pain will dissolve in warmth and freedom and expandability. So again, pleasant dreams, because you have help, but you can help yourself if you understand what you are doing and pay it. attention to the power of paradox. Yeah. As we have just illustrated again, because when you said, but I rebelled, that means you believe you're a prisoner, and that's what your reality reflects. One who knows she is free does not need to rebel. Right. Only those that believe they are imprisoned have to rattle their cages. All right? Yeah. Sweet dreams to you all. And at this time, we thank each and every one of you once again for our allowing us to reflect your true loving, unconditionally creative and inspirational selves. Our love to you and good day.
