Part 1
Does this answer your question sufficiently, or does there's some other avenue you wish to explore about this? All right. Well, it's kind of related to, I've had this pain in my neck, shoulder arm for over a year, and I've been trying to let it go. All right. I release it, bless it, let it go, and it's not going. All right. Well, what specifically in your belief system is causing the pain in your neck? The MRI says I have a bulge desk. All right, and what are you going to do about that? You do understand that sometimes the idea of physical manipulation can be just as valid a permission slip as any kind of energetic work, yes? Yes. It's all about the path of least resistance that works best for you. And I've tried all kinds of things. And? And nothing's working. Nothing at all. Sorry. Suggestions? No, you don't have to be sorry. First of all. When in your time frame did it begin? And what? was going on in your life when it did? Over a year ago. Yes. I've got stress in my life. Everybody's got stress in their life. Oh, really? I don't. I want to be like you. Why do you have stress? Why are you stressing yourself out of alignment? Ha. Ha. Ha. Why? I'm guessing it was shortly after my daughter moved home again. And why is that stressful? We don't get along the greatest sometimes. Is that because she's too much like you? In some ways. All right. What is it about what she reflects to you that you don't like about yourself? I don't know. Oh, sure you do. Don't play games. I don't know. She was growing up. All right. Well, what don't you approve of in her? She's a slab. Her room looks like a tornado hit it. Really? Yeah. And you have never been one? No, actually, that's not one of my faults. I have plenty, but that's not one of them. Fault? A fault, is it? In my mind, I guess it is. Oh, all right. Thank you very much. And since you are now putting that kind of invalidation and judgment on it, since you have never been one, and can't possibly imagine how it would serve anyone to be one, correct? Well, doesn't that begin to tell you something? Ah. I brought the son myself. You're invalidating that state of being by insisting so strongly that there's something wrong with it. Now, we understand that it may not necessarily be the most organized state that someone can be in. Nevertheless, it begins coming from you as a value judgment, or perhaps we shall say as a devaluation. Okay. So, rather than looking at it as something different, that simply isn't your preference, you have, in a sense, actually, it as something wrong with her. Okay. Okay. Yes? Yes. All right.

that there's something wrong with it. Now, we understand that it may not necessarily be the most organized state that someone can be in. Nevertheless, it begins coming from you as a value judgment, or perhaps we shall say as a devaluation. Okay. So, rather than looking at it as something different, that simply isn't your preference, you have, in a sense, actually, it as something wrong with her. Okay. Okay. Yes? Yes. All right. Therefore, if you label something in someone else as wrong, the only thing they can actually reflect back to you is the same thing. There's something in you that's wrong. Do you understand? And therefore, that's the reflection to you that the so-called wrong that's going on in you is the labeling of something else as wrong. You see the paradox here? Yep. Looked in the mirror here. Oh, yes, always. So when you relax your devaluation of that idea, there will be no need necessarily for the other person to reflect it to you, at least not to the degree that seems to irk you. Got it. You follow me? Then they may say, oh, well, I have nothing to bounce this off of anymore. Well, I guess I'll just clean up my room then. All right. You understand the process going on here as we're describing it in this perhaps overly simplistic form, but nevertheless, reflective, yes. Is this helping you? Yeah. All right. Now, how's your neck feel at the moment? About the same. That's all right. That's all right. I'm not saying you have to instantaneously transform this. This can be a process at whatever rate you are comfortable with. It's your permission slip to see reflections. But you see, let's hearken back to that Bible for just a moment, because that's actually the meaning of the phrase, judge not, lest ye be judged. It's not about really the idea that you will be judged by others. It's about the idea that as you judge in the negative context, you become the vibration of judgment itself. And thus, in that sense, you are judging yourself. Wow. You follow? Thank you. All right. So, as we have often said, the true path to enlightenment is obviously and often simply lightening up on yourself. Make sense? And when you lighten up on yourself, you will lighten up on others. Because no one will be seen as a threat. Do you understand? Yes. Because the only reason someone would feel in that sense the devaluation to be needed is because they sense that as some kind of a threat. They're labeling it as a threat to their world. As if that person had any power at all to affect the reality you experience, which they do not. Do you understand? Yes. Really? I think so. All right. Thank you. Thank you.
