Believing Is Seeing (Part 3 of 4)

what you're bringing to us. Well, thank you for allowing us to reflect back to you, those things you have kept hidden from yourselves. It's nice to have them opened up again, and it seems like a present every time opening a present, listening to these discourses. You are all a great gift. Yes, thank you. They seem to expand us a lot. Yes, thank you for finally unwrapping yourselves. I'd like to unwrap myself further. Go right ahead. I have a problem, a physical problem with my neck and back. All right, a challenge and an opportunity. Yes. All right. I've been working with it in various ways, and I'm just wondering if I'm doing the effect of things for it. What have you already done? I've done some chiropractic. First, I had it checked out by a neurologist, and that didn't. To me, that wasn't very helpful. Then I went to several chiropractors, and now I'm a network chiropractic, which is kind of like energy work. I'm also taking herbs, and you were talking about... us finding new ways of making our bodies lighter. Nice. I'm just wondering if I am using the correct products to lighten my body, to, you know, just to make myself the best that I can be. How is your diet? I believe my diet is pretty good. Which would mean what? Well, it's vegetarian, and lately I've been taking a lot of herbal life products, and I don't know if they're the correct things to take. They seem to make me feel lighter. Sometimes they can be, but it will depend upon the circumstances in the situation. Mostly, of course, it will be the capability in terms of your ingestion of vegetable products of ensuring to the best that you can that you are not also ingesting large amounts of toxins. Yes. Along with it, that what you would label as pesticides. Right. It's based on cellular nutrition. It's supposed to make sure that your body's cells do absorb all the good things they're supposed to absorb. Yes, but sometimes if you have to take counterment, then your body is working overtime to just bring itself back to a relatively normal state and spending all of its energy to maintain a certain level rather than being allowed to truly accelerate. And in that sense, therefore, your body may actually be depleting itself of certain other nutritional elements. Are our bodies capable without any kind of additives just eating the foods that are available, the healthy foods? Are they able to? If they are naturally grown, yes. Okay. So in other words, we don't need vitamins or supplements. They are all in your foods, and the herbs now and then are not in any way, shape, or form, negative, and sometimes can be added, but only simply as a part of the natural diet.

our bodies capable without any kind of additives just eating the foods that are available, the healthy foods? Are they able to? If they are naturally grown, yes. Okay. So in other words, we don't need vitamins or supplements. They are all in your foods, and the herbs now and then are not in any way, shape, or form, negative, and sometimes can be added, but only simply as a part of the natural diet. The supplements are only necessary in concentrated form as you have them, because the substances that you ingest are so depleted at this time. So it doesn't hurt me to take additional herbs and... No, it does not hurt you in that sense. All we are simply saying, however, is that sometimes what you are doing is only helping you maintain a certain level. level because all of your body's efforts and energies are spent towards counteracting the things that have already been done to it. How can we do this more efficiently? Well, you can begin, as we have said, through the idea of the ingestion of large amounts of purified water in your systems and as best as you can, the acquisition of large amounts of more organically raised products that have grown upon the earth in areas that are not saturated with toxins and pesticides. You will find, as you are finding now in your society, that really, in all cases, practically speaking, every disease you know on your planet is the product of the fact that your body is laden with poisonous metals and toxins and pollutants. And almost no other reason, really. You understand? Yes, I do. The idea is that your body is depleted to the point where it is open to opportunistic organisms for allowing those diseases to be perpetuated or amplified. But the first level really is simply that you are able to be depleted to the point where it is open to opportunistic organisms for allowing those diseases to be perpetuated or amplified. But the first level really is simply that you are. are poisoning yourselves to death. But looking for purified water and organic products is based on faith. Just because it's labeled as such, you have to believe that it's not mislabeled and that it hasn't. Do you know what I mean? You have to believe. You can do the best you can. Do your research. Talk to the people who raise them. Go and find out if, in fact, they are the way that they say they are. Or, of course, grow them yourself. Okay. Now, to some degree, some of what is going. on. Some, not even necessarily a major portion, but some of what is going on in the area that you are affected physiologically. One moment. Some of it, right now, as a secondary level, because of certain other things that have happened, is to a degree due to a depletion of minerals in the bones. One moment.

they are. Or, of course, grow them yourself. Okay. Now, to some degree, some of what is going. on. Some, not even necessarily a major portion, but some of what is going on in the area that you are affected physiologically. One moment. Some of it, right now, as a secondary level, because of certain other things that have happened, is to a degree due to a depletion of minerals in the bones. One moment. We sense that you are out of alignment for other reasons. One moment. What specific symptomologies are you experiencing? It feels like, almost like a yoke on my shoulders and neck. Almost like something is strapped to it, and it's a rigidity in my neck and shoulders. And shoulders, they call them subluxations, trigger points. Yeah, I see. Has anything? that you have done alleviated these feelings at all in any way. Temporarily. It may require, on your part, that you also take up something that will allow you a greater degree of flexibility in your body to maintain the work that is done instead of allowing yourself to go back to the states of tension that your body is in because of certain misalignments. It may require that in order to perpetuate the work that is done and allow the effect the positive effect to last, that it may be necessary for you to take up certain practices that would allow you to, over time, maintain that kind of alignment, such as yogic practices and so forth. Do you understand? Is there a certain type of yoga? That which will allow you the greatest degree of stretching, of flexibility. Now, here's another suggestion. Do you have a favorite animal? A cat? Yes. Was that a question or a statement? It's a cat. Thank you. Pay attention to how the cat moves, how the cat stretches, how the cat has body awareness, start to mimic that animal. It can teach you how to move in certain ways so as to strengthen your body and yet at the same time, at a degree of flexibility that you require to stay aligned. Use the animal teachers, the animal totems, the animal reflections on your planet to show you how to be more naturally yourself. That's one of the reasons why they have chosen to be with you. To reflect to you those portions of yourself, that is more representative of your natural self. So follow your favorite animal in mimicking its motions. How do you imagine or view that the cat would stretch, would limber up, would be flexible. Take on the attitude, the energy of this animal. Go through the motions, mimic it. And you will find, in conjunction with the work you are having done, that over time, you will be able to maintain the positive effects. Something of that nature. Also, of course, trust your imagination and synchronicity to attract you to what will work best for you. Do you follow along? Yes.

Also, of course, trust your imagination and synchronicity to attract you to what will work best for you. Do you follow along? Yes. Is the practice that I'm going through right now, the network chiropractic? It can be of assistance to you, yes. But again, we find that any one of these specific bodywork practices may not be sufficient if you do not augment it with a program that allows you to expand your degree of flexibility and alignment. Okay. Is Ayengar yoga? Is that a good one? It's supposed to be for, to help you align? Certain aspects of it are for you, but some of those aspects may be a little bit too constricting at first for you. You may be able to avail yourself of some of the more loose techniques in that particular. practice. But you can mix and match. You don't necessarily have to rigidize yourself by saying, well, I must be in just this particular practice or discipline of yoga and cannot mix and match from any other discipline. Just go with which positions feel. Yes. Start with that. And look to the ones that allow you the most sensation of stretch and flexibility and release and freedom. And release and freedom. All right? That would be our immediate suggestion. Okay. Is there anything I can do about the mineral deficiency in the bones? One moment. Do you at this time, though we would rarely recommend this, ingest any animal protein at all? Not intentionally. All right. It's quite possible. For the moment, for a little while, in small amounts, it might be the most important. It might be the most. rapid thing if you will do this in the correct way with a high degree of respect, of course, and a high degree of intentionality, knowing that for now you are not causing any harm in this way, nor violating your principles in any way. For right now, to ingest for a while what you would call sardines. I can go with that. All right. That will help you. I was going to buy a can yesterday. Well, what a synchron is it? Do so. Do so. Trust your instincts. It has all the mineral contents, the ones in oil, that will replace those minerals you have lost in your bone structure. If I eat it three times a week? That would be sufficient. Okay. Maybe even more than sufficient. Twice might be enough. But start with what you feel correct about, and then taper back. I'm always afraid of canned goods because I always feel there may be some diseased fish in there or something.

I'm always afraid of canned goods because I always feel there may be some diseased fish in there or something. All right, but again, watch out for your fears in that sense, because if they are truly fears, as opposed to some simple observations, you yourself through the energy of your fear can bring about a self-fulfilling prophecy. But the sardines are a correct reflection of your natural instincts, and you must learn to trust your instincts in this particular case, all right? Do I eat the bones, too? Does that help? Eat the whole sardine. Okay. You understand? One more question. They can be small, so you won't notice the bones. Is there something else that I can do emotionally to? Well, since you ask the question, why don't you give me an answer? What emotions do you think you have to deal with? Well, I know there is, as you say, there's a feeling of constriction in the body that usually reflects. That's usually where it all begins, yes, in your emotional patterns, in your belief system structures, in your self-devaluate. I have a belief that I'm free and then again I have a belief that I'm constricted. By what? Constricted by what? By whom? I'm keeping myself. from expanding. I'm holding myself back. Yes, but why? What are you basing that on? What belief systems did you buy into that allow you to operate in a way that you say you don't wish to operate? That's a good question. Oh, thank you very much. Do you have a good answer? Well, partially. Well, give me the part you know. I don't have the complete picture. Give me the part you know. Well, it's all my life. I believe that I was perfect, and that I was okay and my expression was fine, but everything around me told me that I wasn't, so I bought into it. And now it's like I won't allow myself to be me because all of my life, I was told that being me is not the correct way to be. I see, and who told you this? It just seemed to be reflected back to me from other people. In what way? By rejection. By... Can you give me a specific example of something that would represent you being you? That you feel other people. most likely have rejected it. My adventurous nature, wanting to try something, wanting to experience something. Such as? Oh, like being at the beach as a child and just wanting to... People telling me not to go to this section of the water, how can you see a boundary?

In what way? By rejection. By... Can you give me a specific example of something that would represent you being you? That you feel other people. most likely have rejected it. My adventurous nature, wanting to try something, wanting to experience something. Such as? Oh, like being at the beach as a child and just wanting to... People telling me not to go to this section of the water, how can you see a boundary? You know, this is where it ends and this is where you're... This part of the lake you can go on, this part you can't. I don't know. I don't know where the boundary is. So I just wandered freely. freely, you know, feeling safe and happy. Yes. And I fell into a hole and almost drowned. And when I was pulled out and brought back on shore, I was punished for going in that area. All right. So placed upon you were these, shall we say, straightjacket beliefs, for you were directed to fulfill their worst fears and were utilized as the prime example of their fears being true. Yes. All right. Well, you need to drop all the things that have to. to do with them and start discovering the things that have to do with you. Because the truth is if I would have learned how to swim, there wouldn't have been a boundary. I could have been able to go anywhere. Yes. Your truth also is that if you didn't necessarily, through no fault of your own, being a child and not knowing any different, if you had not accepted their belief systems upon you, you probably in all reality, would never have ventured anywhere near that particular place where you almost drowned. That's true. But as children, you do not know that your parents do not know. And therefore, by allowing yourself to believe many of the things that come from their own fears, you simply perpetuate their fears into your lifestyle and thus continue the chain of their upbringing that they learn from their parents and their parents before them and their parents before them. But now is the transformational life upon your planet, the transformational age. That's why you're all exploring all these concepts of consciousness. Because now it is time to realize to discover what your beliefs are, who you really are. And the first step, the first step, the very first step, is to allow yourself to realize that you don't know who you are. You understand? Yes. So, repeat after me. I don't know who I am. I don't know who I am. That sounded like a question. Make it a statement. Who are you? I don't know who I am. I don't know who I am. Now, second step. Now, second step, is to let it be all right to not know who you are. Let it be all right. I don't know. And that's all right. I don't know who I am yet.

me. I don't know who I am. I don't know who I am. That sounded like a question. Make it a statement. Who are you? I don't know who I am. I don't know who I am. Now, second step. Now, second step, is to let it be all right to not know who you are. Let it be all right. I don't know. And that's all right. I don't know who I am yet. And that's all right. I don't know who I am yet. And that's all right. I don't know who I am yet. And that's all right. Yes, it is all right. And the paradox, the way you use the paradox of the situation is that as soon as you allow it to be all right to not know who you are, you start discovering who you really are. You understand? That's how it works. Because you are your experiences of life. You are life itself. You are the process itself. You are the living of your life. That's who you are. That's what you are. But if you're constantly straight-jacketed with other people's ideas of what your life should be, you're not living your life. You're living their life over and over and over again. So the first step in releasing the things that have nothing to do with you is to finally get to a stage where it's all right to achieve. admit you don't know who you are. And that begins to free you from the expectations of others and the expectations you have placed upon yourself because of other expectations upon you. Make sense? Yes. That's the beginning. So take a deep breath, deep, deep, deep, deep. And let it out in a sigh of release. Let it feel good to finally not know who you are. It's the first step toward discovering who you are. Then I can feel good about following my impulses because they will bring me to who I am? Yes. Okay. Always notice that sometimes, sometimes in your practicing of the following of your impulses, they may from time to time still represent other people's beliefs, but that's all right. You'll find out very rapidly whether that's true or not. You understand? Yes, because that's what got me in trouble. As a child, I always followed my impulses. To go to this side of the lake, to go over the fence and play with a thing. neighbors. We are not saying that there are not some guidelines that need to be provided for individuals that are new to any particular reality, but they need to be provided without the fear that locks them into you in such a patterned way that you take many, many, many, many years to finally discover that those patterns are not necessary at all anymore within you. You understand? Yes.

fence and play with a thing. neighbors. We are not saying that there are not some guidelines that need to be provided for individuals that are new to any particular reality, but they need to be provided without the fear that locks them into you in such a patterned way that you take many, many, many, many years to finally discover that those patterns are not necessary at all anymore within you. You understand? Yes. So in allowing myself to free myself by following my impulses, what kind of guidelines safety guidelines can I use for myself so that I will feel comfortable going for it? The first one is to know that no matter what happens, really, no matter what happens, you will be all right. Because you are an eternal spirit. So I'm going to use the extreme case. Even if you follow your instinct and you die, you're still going to be all right. Because you are an eternal spirit and you will never cease to exist. In that sense, you cannot be destroyed. So that's the extreme that could ever happen. You will follow your instincts and trot merrily down the street and whap. You die. Bang. That's it. You're dead. But that's not it. It's not over. You're still around. And you can say, oops. Well, that was interesting. You have to also trust that you are where you are for a reason, that you are for a reason, that you are have originally chosen to be on earth to explore the things you're exploring now and you can start to trust the synchronicity of your own timing that in all likelihood, in all likelihood, while it's not impossible, in all likelihood, you would not set up that kind of an extreme scenario. You follow me? Yes. So, start to relax at your own pace. We're not saying you have to let it all drop at once if you don't feel comfortable doing that. But you can. You can trust yourself. You can trust yourself. You can trust your arrangements, your timing, your chosen agreements, and let your life play out as quickly or slowly as you like. You can let go of those things that don't serve you. The faster you do that, the faster you make room for the things to come in your life that are representative of you, the real you, the true you. Does that make sense to you? Yes, it does. So the way through almost any fear is to take that fear to the extreme, knowing that even when you do so, you're still going to be all. all right somehow. And therefore, you can back off of your rigidization and let the weight remove itself from your shoulders. The burden of carrying around everyone else's belief systems is really what's causing the rigidization. Yes, I believe that. So, that parallels my inability to float on water. All right.

almost any fear is to take that fear to the extreme, knowing that even when you do so, you're still going to be all. all right somehow. And therefore, you can back off of your rigidization and let the weight remove itself from your shoulders. The burden of carrying around everyone else's belief systems is really what's causing the rigidization. Yes, I believe that. So, that parallels my inability to float on water. All right. Because I don't trust that the universe will hold me up and that the water will hold me up. But the universe always holds you up. Yes. It can only simply hold you up according to the beliefs that are most strongly radiating from you. Is there anything that I can do to help myself float on water to give myself an example of my life holding me up? Crane your head back farther. Okay. When you float on your back, crane your head back farther. Okay. Now, you don't necessarily have to do that right away. But to get in touch, more importantly, again, go back to the sentence. Go back to the sentence. When you said that you believe the universe won't support you, remember what we said initially. It is never a negative scenario. It is never a negative scenario. You are always creating something. You are always being supported. The first step is to change your definition. You are always being supported. It's just a matter of what are you being supported in. What belief are you being supported in? If you don't believe in yourself, in that sense, or again, more precisely, if you believe, if you believe, you are capable of this particular definition of life, and to you, it is a not preferable definition, the universe will still support you in that unpreferable definition, because that's what you believe in. Yeah. And the universe will support you in that. Because I believe my body does float, but it floats a few inches under the surface. And that is not my preference. All right. But allow yourself, if you wish, to start there. Okay. Because again, it's all right also to be under the surface. Everything is all right in that sense. Even if it is not your preference, the way to get to your preference is to allow what is going on to be all right for what it is. Which means stick my chin out, throw my head back. Yes. And in other words, let go. Yeah, stick your chin out and let them white. at it because you're not, let the world whack at it? Yes, in a sense. Because they cannot really touch the real you. Okay. They can only touch the things that have nothing to do with you. Okay. Now, as a suggestion for your floating practice, go somewhere where you have a lot of salt in the water, a lot of salt. Is Lake Mead? I don't think they don't have salt.

let them white. at it because you're not, let the world whack at it? Yes, in a sense. Because they cannot really touch the real you. Okay. They can only touch the things that have nothing to do with you. Okay. Now, as a suggestion for your floating practice, go somewhere where you have a lot of salt in the water, a lot of salt. Is Lake Mead? I don't think they don't have salt. If you wish, create in your pool or tub something perhaps start small, but something big enough that you can float in, find a chamber that you can float in, big enough, and load it with salt water. And I mean, load it with salt, because you will then float. And you will know what the sensation is like. That will also work to some degree, but usually they are very shallow. And they don't allow salt. They have salt in them. Do they? Oh yes, that's why you float. Okay. The idea is to find that body of water or create that body of water, or create that body of water heavily. The ocean would be idea. It is not even necessarily laden with enough salt for some individuals. You must understand that sometimes this is also just about specific body weight and mass. Okay. And sometimes you just don't have the kind of body weight or mass that it takes to float in certain concentrations of water. Some people simply will not float. My belief was that my lungs just didn't hold enough air because I was too uptight and constricted. No, no, no, no. Not always the case. It's not the lack of mineral in my bones either. It is not the case. But for the sense, to build the confidence that in some way, shape, or form it's possible for you. We recommend the high concentration of salt in some body of water that you may need to create for yourself just so you know what it feels like to float. Because that's all you really need to do is access that feeling. Yes. And then apply that idea to the fact that the universe always has some avenue by which you can in that sense know you are always supported. And for you, the avenue right now, as an analysis, right now as an analogy may simply be to create a body of salt water that will allow you to float. I believe that would make a big difference in my believability factor. Then go and find some kind of container that is big enough for you to float in and fill it and fill it and impregnated with salt. Any kind of salt or does it have to be sea salt. Salt, salt, salt, salt. Okay. All right, thank you very much. Thank you.
