Introduction

Each person on this planet has the ability to learn how to access the Source ofwisdom with and return to his or her essential, or real, self. You need only stoppretending youre less than what you came here to be, and allow your soul toexpress itself fully. You are what you were when you came here. Ultimately,theres no other way to be. To realize your full potential, you must learn to bewhat you are, wherever you find yourself on this planet. Pretending youre lessthan what you are is confusing to your soul, which wants you to be your

authentic self.

By contrast, your human parts often want you to be a struggling human, so theycan control your life. These parts conspire to try to make you believe that whatyou see in the physical world is your real self. They want you to stay lost in thehuman maze. Even though your soul is permanent and your human condition isonly temporary, your mind and its many associates such as the ego want youto believe that theyre real and the soul is a product of your imagination. Thisis backwards. The soul is the real part of you that never changes. Your humancondition is but a fleeting reality thats here one moment and gone the next, interms of ultimate reality. Youve always been your higher self, beyond the

cloudy veil of human illusion. You may not completely understand these higheror deeper parts while youre in human form, but these parts are real. If youreto expand your consciousness and become aware of yourself on higher planes ofknowledge and existence, you must transcend the fears of this world and seeyour true and exalted self.

You can begin to do this today, by learning how to let go of all the aspects ofyour being which keep you trapped in this worldly illusion. You must transcendthe need to identify with your past, your fears, your emotions, your culturalconditioning, as well as with other people and their fears. You must seeyourself as fully capable of expanding your awareness as far as possible, while

youre in human form. You dont need to leave your body to becomeenlightened. Enlightenment is not what you think. Its not what others havetold you. Enlightenment is what you feel inside when youre fully connectedwith your universe, with your own expanded reality. You can access this placeof higher knowing, by releasing all that youre not. You can become what youare by being what youve always been.

My conversations with Source, presented as questions and answers, are notconversations with another entity at all. Theyre conversations with my ownhigher self. I dont see the universe as separate in any way from our ownindividual intelligence. In fact, I dont believe in individual anything. I see allof existence as one great functioning whole entity, with all parts moving and

interacting simultaneously to the mutual benefit of all. This is why I speak tomyself and of myself as if Im one with all-that-is. There is no longer any senseof separation in my mind, and hopefully, in my actions. I approach life as if itwere me, and mine to explore fully. Theres nothing keeping you from seeingyour life in this way. You can become fully aware of all of consciousness merelyby asking for that and allowing it to happen.

The process of opening to ones higher knowledge can take many years, butyou can do it if you want it badly enough. You can stay on the path to higherconsciousness, and you can become enlightened in this lifetime. Enlightenmentisnt something reserved for gurus or yogis or saints. Its for you and me here

and now, because being enlightened seeing all that we need to see to livehappy fulfilled lives is our birthright. We come here to live such lives. Itsonly our confusion at being in human bodies, and the confusion of those aroundus, that leads us astray. But you dont have to stay astray. You can becomewhat you are today. You can discover enlightenment in your own terms, andyou can begin enjoying the fruits of recognizing your part in everything. At thesame time, enlightenment may be a process more than a destination;something for which we aspire but which we can never define.

Hopefully, the conversations I have with myself in this book will help you getback in touch with yourself. You can speak to yourself in this way, too, if its

your way. You can learn to channel your own higher awareness however youchoose. Perhaps its in deeds rather than words. We each have our own uniqueways of manifesting universal reality. You can access your own inner wisdom,and you can put it to use in this world now. You dont have to wait until somefar-off, perhaps unreachable time and place before expressing your true andexpanded self. You can do it now, while in your present form. Why wait untillater to be yourself?

Essentially, our higher wisdom comes to us from the Source of everything. Oncewe learn to access this higher knowledge and express it through our actions andour words, we have found our way home. This is the place where we know

were done with all the painful learning of this earthwalk. This is where we canrelease all the negative aspects of our personality and become who we are onthe expanded levels of reality. You need only access this higher part of yourselfand let the answers you need come through you, in order to be that wise beingwho is inside your body waiting to be discovered.

I can access this part of myself easily now, and you can learn to do it just aseasily. It takes only practice and a commitment to knowing your own highest

truth. I use a question and answer format here, because it lends itself to suchdiscussion. I hope it may help you recognize that conversations inside your ownhead may be your own spirit trying to speak to you. Give it a chance and youmay find that youre not so far removed from your spiritual essence as you mayhave thought. Higher consciousness is always waiting patiently just around the

corner. You can turn that corner in this lifetime. You can learn to see a wholenew landscape of reality. You can be that which youve always been, while youstill have time to enjoy it here.

Chapter 1: Learning to Channel Ones Self

HOW DOES ONE LEARN WHO THEY ARE?The best way is to learn how to channel information directly from Source.

WHAT IS SOURCE?The Source of all-that-is; the origin of all information from all the universe, orall of reality, however you wish to see it. Source is what is; thats all. Theresnothing outside of Source, and there's nothing you cant learn to channel for

your own guidance and well-being.

CAN EVERYONE CHANNEL THEIR HIGHER SELF ACCURATELY?Yes, everyone can, but often they dont want to. It takes time to learn tochannel yourself accurately. You have to get past the self doubts anddelusions. After that, it comes pretty easily. In this sense, youre supposed tochannel all the time. The only difficult thing about it is that most peoplehave forgotten how to do it, and so it appears difficult, if not impossible, tothose who think they cant.

ARE YOU SAYING EVERYONE COMES HERE TO CHANNEL SOURCE?

Yes, its your natural way of being. Channeling simply means acquiringinformation from beyond the human realm. Its easy to do. One need onlybelieve that one is more than human, and therefore able to find out whateverinformation one needs.

HOW CAN I LEARN TO CHANNEL MORE ACCURATELY?Listen to your spirit, or whatever you call that part of you thats inside. Listento what it tells you, and act on what you hear, as long as it seems appropriate.Your spirit will tell you everything you need to know, as long as you listen andtake action.

HOW DO I KNOW IF ITS APPROPRIATE TO ACT?You should run everything you hear past your own discernment abilities. This istrue whether you hear it from another person, from your own mind, or fromwhat you might call spirit. Dont take anyones or anythings word for anything,unless it feels right to you. Then act when youre reasonably sure yourehearing the truth.


11/89

11

WILL I MISS SOMETHING IMPORTANT IF IM NOT CHANNELING ACCURATELY?If you mean, will you fail to do something your spirit is recommending, yes, youprobably will. But learning to channel, or to hear what your higher self wants

for you, takes practice. You practice what you need to learn, and you getbetter at it. Channeling is no different from anything in this regard. Dontworry about what youre missing. There's always plenty of time. Your spirit willnever expect you to do anything in a rush.

HOW DOES ONE BECOME MORE ACCURATE?By listening and practicing and trying out what seems right and seeing if itworks out for the better. In other words, if you hear that you should be doingsomething, you can decide if it seems right, then try it. If it works out well,then you were probably hearing accurately. In other words, we run it throughour human experience, which is a good thing. People are here to experience

their human-ness in terms of the higher self, so when you combine wisdom andexperience, you have a relatively foolproof system.

DOES THE SOUL ONLY SPEAK TO US WHEN WE LISTEN?Your soul is trying to speak to you all the time. But because youre a free beingwho can decide for yourself which voice you want to hear, you may be actingon something other than the voice of your soul most of the time. No one ismandated to respond to the voice of ones higher knowledge, by whatevername one calls it. You can decide for yourself when its time to get informationfrom a higher power. Of course, if we used this resource more often, our liveswould go much more smoothly.

HOW DO WE AVOID THE CHAOS WHEN WE FIRST LEARN TO CHANNEL?You cant. Its part of the learning process. As you first practice listening tosomething other than your conscious mind, it can be quite confusing. Itsdifficult to know who or what youre hearing. Often, the conscious mind getsinvolved and plays all kinds of tricks on you. You may think youre listeningto spirit, but you may really be hearing the voice of fear, or illusion, or anger,or any number of other voices. The mind keeps feeding you all the othervoices, until you learn how to deal with these voices and let them go.

WHY ARE OUR EARLY VOICES OFTEN QUITE FRIGHTENING?

This is because everything youve ever repressed inside you needs to bereleased before you can channel your real self accurately. You must release allthe fear and judgments however they want to come out. People often getfrightened during this stage of the process and stop doing it altogether.

IS THAT WHY MOST PEOPLE DONT LISTEN TO THE HIGHER SELF?Yes, and its also the fear that they will look stupid or that they will frightensomeone else. When most people begin channeling in this way, they do listen


12/89

12

to those other voices a lot, and they may act on something thats, shall we say,less than productive. Our minds are full of all kinds of ideas, and some of themare downright foolish.

DO YOU MEAN ITS COMMON TO MAKE A FOOL OF ONESELF AT FIRST?

Well, yes, thats one way to put it. Many people have done things that appearfoolish, in the name of channeling. You know its said that half of all the wordsattributed to channeling are really just nonsense, and thats probably true. Inthe beginning, your so-called channeled words are probably mostly nonsense.But you get more accurate as you practice.

IF I PRACTICE ALL DAY, WILL I BECOME PROFICIENT ENOUGH THAT I WONTHAVE TO LISTEN TO MY ORDINARY MIND ANYMORE?Yes, but your mind, or your ego, wont go down easily. Youll have to be verydiligent in continuing to listen to the wisdom and weed out the nonsense.

WHATS IT LIKE TO CHANNEL ACCURATELY ALL THE TIME?Its like knowing who you are and not holding onto past conditioning andbeliefs. Letting go of anything that may have made you feel unworthy, orstupid, or anything else that kept you from being your authentic self, your trueessence. Its letting go of the mind and knowing how to act every moment,based on your true wisdom.

WHAT IS MY TRUE ESSENCE?Once youve accurately released your past conditioning and fears, you are theessence of love manifested in human form. Theres really no reason to doanything here but channel your higher wisdom and be universal love. When you

stop listening to any other voices, you become the essence of love, and youmanifest that essence in any way you can in the world.

Chapter 2: Discovering Our True Essence

WHY DO WE COME HERE?You come here to better understand what its like to be human, so you cantranscend human consciousness and become the exalted, high being thatyouve always been. Is this difficult for you to realize? That youre a highlyevolved being when you come here? Most people never break through theirillusions of who they are. They stay enmeshed in delusion and fear and neverdiscover themselves. Why is this? Usually its because theres too much fear of

the unknown clouding the truth. They never break through this fear. But youcan if you want. You can discover who you are.

HOW DO I KNOW IM THIS CONSCIOUS EVOLVED BEING?You know it because you know it, when youre ready to accept it. Lets look fora moment at who you arent, though you may have used these ways to identifyyourself. First, youre not your beliefs. Youve never been what you thoughtyou were. Thoughts dont get one to the truth. Thoughts keep you stuck in yourpast. Thoughts are always about the past and they have no clue about thetruth. Thoughts are total delusion. Thoughts are the way the mind uses to stayanchored in whats gone before. You need to get beyond the past, before you

can discover your true self.

BUT DOESNT MY PAST DEFINE WHO I AM?No. Youre not your past in any way. The past is simply something thathappened in human terms and time, neither of which is real. You are also notyour future. Youre not what youve been working toward, what you thoughtyou needed to have before you could be complete, or what others have saidyou needed to be. Youre not anything that the mind can think or believe.

CAN I DEFINE MYSELF IN SOME OTHER WAY?No, not really. Youre also not your feelings. Youre not what youve felt,

imagined, envisioned, or feared. Youre not your emotions, or the emotionsand feelings of those around you. Youre also not what others may think youare. If you think, for instance, that youre a parent, or child, or spouse, oremployee, you must give up these beliefs before you can find who you are.Youre not your job, your house, your car, your possessions, your desires,anything related to the physical world around you. You may be pretending tobe these things while youre here, but they are not your essence. In fact, you


14/89

14

cant define who you are at all. You must get beyond the need to defineyourself in any way, before you can find yourself. You must become limitless.

BUT HOW ARE WE TO KNOW WHO WE ARE IF WE CANT IDENTIFY IT?This is the entire point. You are more than anything you can know. You must

let go of trying to identify yourself in any of the common ways. You must let goof the need to be anything, in order to be who you are. You must go beyond allthe known and into the complete unknown. Your energy is your own energy,and any time you define yourself in the terms of your thoughts, other peoplesideas of you, or the norms of the culture in which you live, youre cheatingyourself. Youre failing to see your independent and interdependent energy inits own light. You are much more than anything that can be seen as part of anythird dimensional reality.

SO WHAT IS THE NATURE OF MY ESSENTIAL SELF?You are the essence of life itself, and you can never define this essence. We

can call this essence love because love covers a wide range of emotionalstates and realities which go far beyond what humans can experience.

DO YOU MEAN THERES MUCH MORE TO EMOTIONS THAN HUMANS CAN FEEL?Yes. Emotions run very deep. They are real on some level, as in the form ofexalted feelings. But emotions as humans feel them are pretty much un-exalted feelings caught up in fear and delusion.

WHY BOTHER TO REALIZE MY TRUE ESSENCE? WHY NOT JUST GO ON LIVINGIN DELUSION?Do you mean that it might be easier to live here in delusion than to realize your

true self and all your magnificent gifts? If so, yes, youre right, it would beeasier. Because youll never be fully happy as long as youre living in delusion.Delusion keeps you stuck in the past. Its very frustrating on the soul level, andyou always know when your soul is less than fulfilled. It nags at you in countlessways until you take steps to find your real self. This may take years orlifetimes, but youll have no lasting peace until you embark on a diligentsearch for yourself.

HOW DOES ONE DISCOVER LASTING PEACE?Peace comes when one lets go of the past and discovers the truth, by whatevername they choose to call it. Truth is what never changes, what goes on

forever, and what can never be faked or pretended. Truth is the unchangingway of the universe, and you can discover this truth if youre willing to let goof everything else.

HOW DO I LEARN TO LET GO OF ALL ELSE?You need to continue asking yourself Who am I? until you tire of making upanswers and see yourself for who you are. Thats all there is to it. Those whoare bold enough to take this path and stick to it - will find their way home to


15/89

15

the inner self, to where the wisdom of the universe dwells. The dweller withinis you, and its there waiting whenever youre ready to discover it. You can getbeyond the illusion of this place whenever you want.

WHAT IS ILLUSION?

Illusion is the belief that you must do one thing or another in order to be here.Illusion comes from the belief that if you dont participate somehow in life onthis planet, you wont be able to be here at all. So everyone goes aboutbelieving something which they think they must believe, in order to buy intothe physical world in some way. This creates agreements of how things arehere. Such agreements are the basis of illusion, and illusion creates the need tofit in.

IF WE DIDNT NEED TO FIT IN, HOW WOULD WE LIVE HERE?You would live freely. You would decide what to do based on your need to seeyourself as you truly are. Why would you need to see yourself as any less than

you are? Its because you dont know yourself enough to express your truereality. And you go about expressing yourself as the illusions you believe youare. Once you learn who you really are, you give up the need to impress others.You no longer need to express yourself in less authentic ways. You learn to doonly whats mandated by spirit and stop concerning yourself with anything else.

WHY DO WE NEED TO IMPRESS ANYONE ELSE?Everyone wants to be loved. But they often forget theyre automatically lovedby spirit. They forget that no matter what one does here, love is alwaysavailable to them. Love is a given. You dont need to do anything to deserve it.But most people think they need to be loved by others, and that they must do

something to justify that love. Hence, everyone goes about trying to impressothers by fitting into a world which nobody created.

WHO DID CREATE THIS WORLD?No one person or thing created anything here. This worldly reality grows out ofthe mass consciousness of those living here, being created each moment basedon their thoughts and fears. This is why worldly reality is an illusion; becauseits based on fears and thoughts, rather than on universal knowledge and higherawareness.

CAN WE LIVE HERE FREE OF ILLUSION?

Yes, you can learn to live as a free being. Your soul will tell you what you needto know, if you ask. Souls dont pay any attention to mass hysteria. You donthave to follow the thoughts and fears of this place. You need only to beginliving as your soul wants you to live to find yourself living freely.

HOW DOES ONE BEGIN?You learn to sense whats in your body and what your spirit wants to tell you.You give yourself the opportunity to relax on a daily basis. Let go of the need


16/89

16

to know or do anything. Just sit and relax however it works for you. Take a hotbath, sit in the sun, do a meditation practice or yoga, or simply lie down andrelax somewhere; it really doesnt matter exactly what you do. The importantthing is that you allow yourself to relax and begin sensing what the body has totell you. Let the sensations come from deep inside you.

WHAT DO I DO WITH THE THOUGHTS WHICH ARE ALWAYS THERE?If you find yourself thinking in some way, seek to access thoughts whichcome from a place of higher knowing, rather than from the minds fears ordelusions. When thoughts arise, try to feel them in the body. If you cant feel athought in the body, you can know its coming from the mind and isntaccurate in terms of guidance and higher awareness. Letting a thought arisefrom the body always lets you know that its real. Thoughts which you can feelin the body are telling you that your soul wants you to know something. Themore you can relax, the greater will be your ability to hear the wisdom of thebody and soul.

HOW CAN ONE LEARN TO RELAX MORE DEEPLY?People often take classes in relaxation or meditation or yoga or tai chi orwhatever. The important thing is to sit or lie down whenever you feel like it.Dont fight the need to rest, even if it doesnt seem like the appropriate time.Our minds pay attention to time; our bodies tell us when theyre tired andwant to rest. Bodies also tell us when the soul wants to speak to us, if we letthem. Your soul may want to speak to you in the middle of the day, or themiddle of the night. Let it happen, as best you can. Close your eyes for a fewminutes, be silent, let the answers come to you.

WHEN IM TIRED THESE DAYS, SOMETIMES I DONT SLEEP, BUT I SEEM TO BERELAXING, IS THAT OKAY?Sure, your mind doesnt always need to be asleep in the old way for yourbody to relax. The mind can do whatever it wants. Were used to having themind be asleep while were resting. But this isnt necessary. Some yogis andthe like dont sleep at all, because theyve learned to slow down the mind allthe time. They no longer have the need to sleep in order to release all the busythoughts which most peoples minds accumulate during the day. Its possible torelease each thought and its effects as it occurs so the mind wont need toreplay it and release it later.

CAN I STOP THINKING AND STILL BE HERE?No, but you can stop thinking about thinking. You can stop thinking that youshould or shouldnt think a particular thing. You can also stop thinking that ifyou think one thing instead of another thing, its not good. Do you know what Imean? If you think its not right to think something, and so you try to thinksomething else, then you end up in a vicious circle of thinking and thenthinking about thinking, until youre so confused you dont know what youthought in the first place. The best approach is to think whatever you think,


17/89

17

and always bear in mind that everything here is an illusion anyway, so itdoesnt much matter what you think.

HOW CAN I BE MOTIVATED IF I DONT THINK ABOUT THINGS?You can find motivation inside you, other than in your thoughts. True

motivation comes from knowing who you are, at your core, and letting yourinspiration do anything come from that core place. Thinking confuses thisprocess, so its better to let the thoughts pass through the mind, and dont paytoo much attention to them.

IF THINKING IS SUCH AN OBSTACLE, WHY DO WE DO IT?Humans have to think in order to be here. Theres a lot to think about, but itsall related to living a basic existence, doing the things you must in order tolive. This includes such things as eating, sleeping, etc.; basic survival skills.Beyond this, thinking is really pretty much a waste of time and energy. So youcould say that thinking is inevitable; but you can still access a higher source of

knowledge and let the thoughts come and go.


18/89

Chapter 3: Time and Ego

WHY DO WE LOSE SIGHT OF OURSELVES?Most people forget who they are when they come here. They may try toremember for a time, but theres so much confusion around them that itsdifficult. They may see things which remind them of a universal reality thatexists beyond this place. But their visions are rarely confirmed by others, soits common to let them go. With all the chaos and delusion, its easy to fallinto the trap of believing one is deluding oneself about higher realities. But the

image of something greater than this third dimensional reality is not delusional;its a message about the way things truly are in other places.

WHAT IS OUR HIGHER VISION?Its a way of seeing unlimited reality. The mind as we often speak about it islimited to physical reality of which its part; an earthly or third dimensionalreality. Higher mind is a state of reality in which we see more of whats real,beyond this physical dimension. We can enter this higher state whenever wewant. All we must do is transcend the need to cling to earthly reality as if itwere real. Earth is but one location in a galaxy of realities. You must transcendthe tendency to live only in this reality before you can see other realities.

HOW DOES EARTH LIFE FIT INTO THE WHOLE OF EXISTENCE?It doesnt. Its not part of existence. Its part of the human illusion. The earthdoesnt exist any more than any of the rest of whats seen or believed inhuman terms exists. The earth is simply a perceived reality in which beingsperceive themselves to be alive in a certain physical form. But earthly life is anillusion, in that it doesnt last forever and isnt known on higher levels ofconsciousness.

DO YOU MEAN IF SOMETHING DOESNT LAST FOREVER, ITS NOT REAL?Yes, exactly. Forever is what never changes, whats always one way or

another. There may be many changes within forever, but the key aspects neverchange. Youre part of a changing reality as long as youre alive on this planet.Therefore, earthly reality isnt real. Its an illusion created by the minds ofthose who live here.


19/89

19

WHATS THE NATURE OF FOREVER?Forever itself is but a state of mind. Since time is also an illusion of the humanrealm, forever can never be distinguished from what simply is. There couldnever be anything else. Theres no other way for things to be. Forever is justwhat is. You dont have to put a label on it. You can just accept what is and be

in that form each moment. No need thinking about whats next or what mightbe; just experience each moment as it comes.

WHY IS THERE SUCH A THING AS TIME HERE?People invented time as a way to perceive that everything wasnt happening atonce. If everything is experienced as happening at once, the mind will becomevery confused. The mind wants the events of this world to happen in a nicecontrolled order, so it can keep track of everything. The mind really functionsvery slowly in cosmic terms, though it may seem incredibly fast in humanterms.

HOW CAN WE BECOME TIMELESS?Imagine a reality in which everything happens at once. How could any linearly-based object like the mind keep up with this reality? A person must transcendthe need for linear time and linear physical life entirely before being ready fortimeless living. You must let go of the need to identify yourself by any physicalmeans.

WITHOUT TIME, HOW CAN I KNOW WHAT AND WHEN TO DO?When the frustration with old ways of living ones life gets too big to ignore,one starts living in a more time-free reality. You begin to understand thatyoure now living in a way thats far less dependent on any aspect of worldly

reality including the illusion of time. You begin living more in the presentmoment, doing what your heart or your soul tells you to do, rather thanfunctioning as a being who is dependent on other people or events to shapeyour life. When you do what you want each moment, you break free of theillusion that youre controlled by time or anything else. You do what you wantand become the multidimensional being you were when you came here. Youexist beyond the norms of this place. Time is then no longer a factor ofexistence for you.

HOW DOES AUTHENTIC SELF-EXPRESSION HELP ONE EVOLVE?Learning to express your authentic, or true, self is one of the most important

things you can do here. This isnt the kind of action where ones ego feelsthe need to express itself in some way. We may think were expressingourselves in a new or unique way when its still our egos controlling us. Withpractice, we can learn to express the authentic self as it wants to be expressedeach moment.


20/89

20

HOW CAN WE DO THAT?You can learn to be who you are, and not who other people or society ingeneral may think you are or may want you to be. You can learn to expressyourself in a way thats truly unique for you each moment. The secret is tolearn to sense your true motivation to do anything, rather than acting from the

ego. Each time you express yourself in a more authentic way you expand yourconsciousness. You bring through new energy and express it in the world inways that help you grow, and likely help others around you grow. Youre partof all existence and anything you do to facilitate the expansion of thatexistence helps all who are within it.

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EGO-CONTROLLED AND SOUL-BASEDSELF-EXPRESSSION?When the ego controls your response to anything, whether it feels unique toyou or not, its keeping you within the box of acceptable behavior. This maybe the acceptable behavior of a small group of people, or of the cultural norm.

But its still a box within which youre functioning in relative security, even ifyour actions seem far outside the norm. It doesnt matter how large or howsmall a group to which youre conforming. If youre not acting from spirit, fromyour authentic selfs need to express in the way youre expressing yourself,youre still being controlled by the ego and its attachment to this world.

DOES THE EGO ALWAYS SEEK TO CONTROL OUR BEHAVIOR?Yes, because to keep you safe in its limited context, it must control you.Therefore, you wont really express yourself in very imaginative ways as long asyou allow the ego to set the tone for your expression. The ego is not a verycreative thing.

HOW DO I GO BEYOND EGO?You let it die, one way or another. The best way is to insist on expressingyourself in new ways all the time, even if those ways may feel a bituncomfortable. When you take chances, your ego will try to make you feeluncomfortable. You must be willing to take those chances anyway, and let theego fume a little on occasion. Know that when youre feeling this discomfort, itmay be because the ego has lost control and is trying to get you back into yourbox where it can be in charge again. For most people, the ego is very much incontrol. When fear arises in them, they back off. And fear is usually quiteprevalent in people. Fear actually pretty much controls this world, which is not

the way it was intended to function at all.

WHAT DO WE FEAR CHANGE?Fear as it relates to personal growth is here to tell you when youre doingsomething you shouldnt be doing. This may include doing your life toonormally. You may actually feel fear when youre stuck in an old reality thatsno longer serving you. You may also feel fear when you make changes thatdont feel quite right. The secret is to get in touch with your body and your


21/89

21

soul and let them tell you when youre doing what you need to be doing, fromthe souls perspective.

IN OTHER WORDS, WE GO BEYOND FEAR AS MOTIVATION?Yes, thats it! You go beyond the need for fear to ever control you. You make

your decisions based on your own need to know what to do next. You let thedecisions come from deep within you, and you do what your heart wants you todo. When you stop making decisions based on fear, you begin to find that fearwill not longer be so significant in your life. It will simply drift away and attachitself to someone elses life.

DO YOU MEAN FEAR HAS A LIFE OF ITS OWN?Yes, thats pretty much it. Fear drifts around this planet and attaches topeople who are open to experiencing it. When you decide to no longer bemotivated by fear, it must go someplace else, like a virus, to maintain itsexistence. If everyone on this planet refused to allow fear into their lives, it

would die a natural death and would no longer be part of the human reality.But as long as people are willing to give it a home inside them, it continues tolive on and do its damage here.

HOW DO WE LEARN TO LET THE SOUL GUIDE OUR LIVES?By listening to it every chance you get and letting it know you will follow whatit tells you. By taking chances now and then, as long as you feel those risks areguided by the soul and not the mind. By giving up fear and delusion and doingwhat youre here to do. Theres a quote from Patanjalis Yoga Sutras of manycenturies ago which goes like this: The final stage [of the self-realizationprocess] is when one comes to the end of 1) the need to know anything, 2) the

need to stay away from anything, 3) the need to gain anything, 4) the need todo anything, 5) sorrow, 6) fear, 7) delusion. This is all very true. When youreready to give up all this, youre ready to move forward and be your fullyexpressive higher self.

CAN I LIVE HERE NOW AS MY HIGHER SELF?Yes, you can live however you choose and express yourself as you truly are.Until youre ready to do that youll be frustrated, because living as less thanwho you are is not very fulfilling.

ILLUSION

Chapter 4: The Source Of It All

WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF HIGHER KNOWLEDGE?Source is the state of things that goes beyond all that is, that includes all thatis, and that is indefinable in that it goes beyond whatever can be imagined.Source is what we all are, and what we all arent but could be, and its whatwe can never know. Source is everything and it is nothing at all.

IF SOURCE IS SO ABSTRACT, WHY TALK ABOUT IT AT ALL?Because Source can tell you all you need to know. Source can tell you whatyoure doing right and what youre doing wrong and where you need to changeand where you can never change in order to be yourself. You dont need tounderstand Source to benefit from what it has to say to you.

WHY DO I HEAR FROM SOURCE IN HUMAN TERMINOLOGY?Source is you. How would you speak to yourself in terms you cant understand?This would make little sense. Speak to yourself in ways you understand andknow at the same time that your energy and your wisdom extend far beyondhuman consciousness.

WHERE IS SOURCE LOCATED?Source is everywhere. Its inside you. Its outside you. Its in between you. Itseverywhere that anything is and everywhere that nothing is.

CANT WE JUST IGNORE SOURCE AND LIVE HAPPILY HERE?No, not really. Source has all the important answers which you need to live abetter, happier life. Source is your path to higher consciousness. Source cangive you the advantage of knowing what you came here to do and how to do it.Without this knowledge, youll never be fully satisfied with your human life.

WHERE DOES SOURCES INFORMATION ORIGINATE?It comes from the Source of everything. From the place where all awarenessresides. You can discover this place if you try. Its the place from which youcome, and its where you go when you leave here. Source is all that is, thatsall.


24/89

24

IS MY SOURCE THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSES SOURCE?Yes. Theres no difference for anyone here. All here are (as is said) one. Onebeing. One awareness. One knowledge. One set of instructions and one manualfor success. You need only to do what all others need to do, to be successfulhere in your own way.

DOES THIS MEAN ALL OF US ARE HERE TO DO THE SAME THING?In a sense, yes, everyone comes here to do the same thing. That thing is to getin touch with oneself and know who one is. Do you all look and act the same?No, of course not. You each have particular ways of learning who you are andwhat youre here to do.

WHY DO WE APPEAR IS SO MANY DIFFERENT FORMS?Because Source likes it that way. Source is infinitely creative. No way is betterthan any other. No body is better or worse than another. It doesnt matterwhat body youre in or what body anyone else is in. Each body is made of the

same stuff. Nothing! Thats right! Youre all made of nothing. The fact that yousee a body at all is really an illusion, in the sense that you see one being asbeing different from all other beings. Its an illusion to see people as separatefrom each other and from all the cosmos and all that lies beyond it.

DO YOU MEAN SOURCE INCLUDES MANY OTHER REALITIES?Of course. There are many universes. By the way, your universe doesnt exist,either. Just as you dont exist. Though there are many universes, there are alsono universes. Just one big reality that includes nothing physical. All universesare illusions that dont exist.

DO YOU MEAN ALL THE STARS AND PLANETS AND ALL THE THINGSASTRONOMERS HAVE DISCOVERED REALLY DONT EXIST?Thats right. All illusion. You dont exist and neither does your universe.

WHY DO WE SEE ALL THESE THINGS THEN?Because you want to see them. You want to believe something exists, so youpretend it does. Everyone has gotten together and believed these things exist,and pretty soon they started existing, at least in your imaginations. But beyondthis illusion, nothing exists, and when you go beyond it, you begin to approachthe key to everything. By accessing the place where the illusion ends, youreach the place where reality begins.

IF NOTHING IS REAL ABOUT THIS WORLD, HOW CAN WE REACH A PLACEWHERE SOMETHING EXISTS?By going inside the illusion so far that you realize you can never get to the endof it; then by giving up the illusion for whatever it is and going even further.You have to surrender all that you see around you before you can discover whatreally is. Most people never take this path because its too threatening tothem. Most are content to sit where they are and refuse to budge beyond


25/89

25

whats comfortable. Lifetime after lifetime. Returning to the same place andsitting there for an entire lifetime without moving an inch.

WOULDNT THAT GET BORING?Yes, but most people do it nevertheless. They dont know its disheartening,

because theyre afraid to look far enough to see whats in their own hearts. Sothey sit in one place, not feeling what they dont want to feel, until they leaveagain. Theyre certain theyve been part of something real - usually painfullyreal.

IS THAT WHY PEOPLE COME BACK HERE TIME AFTER TIME SEEKINGENLIGHTENMENT?Sure, thats it exactly. If youre afraid to grow and expand, you stay where youare forever. But thats okay, because remember, its all an illusion. Forevernever happens.

BUT WHY COME BACK HERE TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING?Well, first, theyve forgotten that its the same thing, because they dontremember they were here, until its too late to stop the process. Then, theystart looking around and things seem painfully familiar, but they dont reallyknow why. And since most people are afraid to consider the possibility of anexpanded reality that includes much more than this one, they cling to animagined reality, thinking its better than nothing. But regrettably, they havethe wrong idea of what nothing is. True nothingness is really a very beautifulstate-of-being.

WHATS THE NATURE OF NOTHINGNESS?

Nothing is a magnificent place in which you are everything, and you are alsonothing. It frees you from having to be anything in particular in order to exist.When you accept that you are nothing, youre free to be whatever you want.

HOW CAN I BE ANYTHING IF IM REALLY NOTHING?You just be it. You decide what you want to be, and you be it as fully aspossible. Youre free to be whatever you want while youre here, or anywhere.

IS THERE A PLACE WHERE THERES SOMETHING?No. Theres nothing anywhere. You decide whats real, and you make it as realas you want. But theres nothing real anywhere, in terms of one reality which

you have to be a part of. You decide your reality and make it real, however youwant.

BUT HOW CAN THINGS APPEAR SO REAL HERE?This is only because people have agreed that theyre real, and they dontimagine things to be different. All that happens here is really an illusionperpetuated by thoughts and beliefs and fears of those who are here. Mostpeople are controlled by their beliefs and thoughts and this perpetuates an


26/89

26

entire reality that really doesnt exist, except in the combined imagination ofpeople. If you can imagine one reality, then you can learn to imagine another(and perhaps more positive) reality for yourself.


27/89

Chapter 5: Living Beyond Belief

IS IT POSSIBLE TO LIVE HERE WITHOUT BELIEFS?Yes, but its very difficult. It takes great perseverance to get beyond beliefsbecause theyre so pervasive here. Most people buy into the mass belief systemand go about their lives not knowing theyre living a reality generated by otherpeople and their thoughts.

WHATS IT LIKE TO LIVE BEYOND BELIEFS?

When you dont let beliefs control your life, youre free to have whateverbeliefs you choose. And youre free to have no beliefs at all. Youre notcontrolled by your beliefs unless you want to be. Living without beliefs is livingfreely, without the need to think or believe anything in particular.

HOW CAN WE DO THAT AND STILL BE WHO WE ARE?Your question implies that people must believe something, in order to be here.This is not true. You can believe anything you want and still be here, but thesebeliefs do not need to define you. You can learn that having beliefs is merely acircumstance of life here, and as such, beliefs can be given up as easily astheyre accumulated. Why would you need to have beliefs to define yourself, if

you knew youre more than you see? Theres a big difference between havingbeliefs and being attached to them, and having beliefs and not being attachedto them. The difference is that you form the intent to not be controlled byyour beliefs. You just let them go through you, like thoughts on the wind, andyou continue to be what you really are.

BUT ARENT MY BELIEFS AN IMPORTANT PART OF WHO I AM?No, your beliefs have nothing to do with who you are. Your beliefs are only acircumstance of being here. All people have beliefs, but their beliefs andopinions are but dust on the wind. They can be given up as easily as theyreacquired.

IF I HAD NO BELIEFS, HOW WOULD I LIVE EACH DAY?You would let spirit, or your soul, be the guiding factor in your life. You wouldgive up any attachment to the way you perceive things to be, and stop livingaccording to beliefs and opinions. You would live each moment as if it wereyour first moment here; not needing to know anything, or be anything, justliving in that moment.


28/89

28

HOW DOES ONE DO THAT?By giving up the illusion that one needs to define oneself in any way. Whatwould it be like if you didnt define yourself? Whats so good about defining

yourself at all? Why not just live according to spirit and be what you are? This isall there really is to life; being what you are and not having to be anything inparticular.

HOW DO BELIEFS BEGIN?Beliefs originate in each persons mind, but theyre also the product of whatsbeen called universal consciousness. In other words, they fly around in theair, from person-to-person. They have no real connection with any one being;they attach themselves to as many people as possible. Beliefs are contagious;they dont care where they land, anywhere thats fertile ground for them.

ARE SOME PEOPLE MORE RECEPTIVE TO BELIEFS?Yes, most people are receptive to beliefs of one kind or another, but some aremore receptive to negative beliefs, for instance. They may believe innegativity, or fear, and any belief that resonates with those fears is more aptto attach to them.

HOW DOES ONE NOT BE FERTILE GROUND FOR NEGATIVE BELIEFS?You learn to not allow beliefs to form your opinions. If you can guard againstnegativity in your life, keep yourself from thinking negative thoughts so often,beliefs will have a difficult time attaching to you. It really is as simple asthinking kind, optimistic thoughts; not as in trying to control your mind, but

rather allowing yourself to think positively. Negativity cant attach so easily toone who believes in an ultimately positive reality.

WHAT IS POSITIVE REALITY?Its a reality in which beliefs are only one way of defining oneself. A reality inwhich you go far beyond beliefs or anything else thats prevalent on thisplanet. Its a reality in which all those here are free to express themselvesaccording to their innermost wisdom, their innermost awareness. In positivereality, theres no such thing as fear because fear is only existent in humanconsciousness.

DO YOU MEAN THERES A CONSCIOUSNESS THE SUPERCEDES HUMANITY?Of course. Human consciousness is limited to what happens in the thirddimensional physical world, which includes the thoughts and beliefs that areprevalent in that world. Beyond human consciousness lies all the wisdom andawareness that supercedes everything.


29/89

29

HOW DOES ONE LIVE IN THAT CONSCIOUSNESS INSTEAD OF THE WORLD OFBELIEFS AND FEAR?You simply decide that beliefs no longer have power over you. You decide tolet go of anything that feels like its controlling you irrationally in some way.You decide to be what you were when you came here, which was something far

beyond belief.

AM I FREE TO DO THAT TODAY?Yes, you can do it anytime you want. You dont have to be a realized master tolive free of beliefs. You need only to decide that you can do it, and then do it.Start living your life today as if youre free to be free of belief, and youllnotice changes happening for you.

WHAT KIND OF CHANGES?Your awareness will immediately shift. Youll notice that beliefs no longercontrol you. Youll see yourself as a more expanded being. Youll realize what

the energy deep inside you, your soul, wants for you. And youll begin doingyour life in ways that bring you much more satisfaction. You energy is freed upconsiderably, once you decide not to be controlled by beliefs of any kind.

IS SOURCE FREE FROM BELIEFS?Yes. Beliefs are merely a human preoccupation. At all other levels of reality,consciousness has no need to believe in anything. Existence is merely what itis, and theres no need to put labels or thoughts on it. Its a much freer form ofbeing.

WHY DONT MORE PEOPLE LIVE BEYOND BELIEFS?

Often, its because theyre arrogant. They think they know whats right forthemselves better than their spirit knows. They attach themselves to thebelief that theyre smart enough to live without higher guidance. They blockinnovative ideas from coming through, often fearing anything new or unusual.They go on living as if they knew everything, yet knowing deep down that theyknow very little. Until one day, they give up the illusion and begin to seethrough their arrogance to the place where the human self doesnt exist. Theybegin waking up to their arrogance and go beyond the illusion.

WHAT CAUSES PEOPLE TO BE SO ARROGANT?Arrogance stems from the need for survival; the belief that to survive we must

be really smart. Arrogance keeps people trapped in past ways of thinking. Ifyou allow arrogance to keep you from yourself, you never learn what your soulwants you to learn. You fail to transcend human consciousness, choosinginstead to go on believing you can handle this place on your own. Arrogancealso keeps people disconnected from the rest of the human race, separatedfrom all of existence, and even afraid of ones own higher wisdom.


30/89

30

HOW DOES ARROGANCE KEEP US ISOLATED?When we believe we have all the answers, we close ourselves off from newinput. We stay trapped in our own small world of limitation. There are very fewanswers of any real importance in this world, because its a world based onpast beliefs. Were usually afraid to consider anything outside of our current

belief system. Strong belief systems and arrogance are often very connected,because beliefs need arrogant attitudes to protect themselves from expandedpossibilities.

HOW IS ARROGANCE PART OF THE WORLD OF ILLUSION?Arrogance can never see the light of expanded consciousness. It belongs to asmall world. Theres no room in arrogance for consideration of higherconsciousness. When you close yourself off from your higher self, you begin tosee yourself as the ultimate source of all information. Not in an expandedcontext, as the light being you are, but in a limiting human context. How canany human being know everything, when theres so much happening beyond

human awareness? You must open to your complete awareness and transcendthe limitation of arrogance.

HOW DOES ONE TRANSCEND ARROGANCE?One learns humility. Humility is the opposite of arrogance. While arrogancekeeps us trapped in the past, humility opens us to all that life has to give us.Humility allows us to expand our consciousness and become witness to greaterand greater versions of reality.

HOW DOES HUMILITY LEAD US TO THE TRUTH?While arrogance is limited to whats in ones mind, humility opens the door to

the entire universe and all its information. You see, through humility, thateverything youve believed may be either untrue or limiting. You learn to seeeverything, when you need to see it. You let go of the need to be right aboutanything, simply knowing what you need to know each moment. Arrogancelimits you to a small world of illusion inside your head. Humility opens you toall that is. But you learn that you need hold onto none of it, and take credit fornone of it, because whats real is always there for you, waiting until yourehumble enough to discover it.

Chapter 6: Following Spirit

CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW KNOWLEDGE IS UNIVERSAL?Yes. We often see or learn something and think its ours to keep. Butknowledge isnt to be claimed and filed away like a possession of some kind.Its universal, to be shared with others. No one is alone here; each is here toshare what theyre given with all others. Wisdom isnt personal. We tap intouniversal consciousness and learn something thats floating about, not becausewere the only one that can know it. What a silly thought this is! Yet many

people act as if its their truth. If we try to file anything away for futureknowing, we may forget it. Or we may get it wrong the next time because itmay not appropriate to know it in that later moment. Wisdom is to be sharedand never horded. Its always universal.

DO YOU MEAN OUR MEMORIES ARE INACCURATE?Yes, memory doesnt serve us as we think it does. Actually, we serve memory.We think we know what we need to know. But our memory only tells us what itthinks we need to know. Do you see the distinction here? If your memory tellsyou what it thinks you need to know, youre limited to whats stored in it. Onthe other hand, if you believe you can know whatever the universe wants you

to know, you open yourself to the entire universe of information. This is howarrogance limits our reality. It keeps us trapped in the information thatsalready in the mind. We block all that could come to us from all the universe.We horde the information in the mind as if its so important. But its reallyuseless, because its about the past.

IS MIND ALWAYS ABOUT THE PAST?Yes, of course. The mind knows only its own past. Mind can never tell youanything appropriate about whats happening right now, except as it mayhappen to relate to something from the past. Depending on whats in your mindto accurately inform you about present circumstances is at best a random

occurrence, a real grab bag.

HOW CAN I DEPEND ON OTHER THAN MIND TO GUIDE ME?When you follow your spirit, and act from a place of non-doing, you act fromthe deeper place where all the universe is connected in a magical dance ofenergy. Your spirit knows what you need to do. You need only to reach a placewhere you can hear or feel this deeper part of yourself, and then take


32/89

32

appropriate action. Theres really nothing you HAVE to do here. You can behere and no nothing at all, and still be productive. Effectiveness, orproductivity, isnt a product of thinking or doing; it comes from following spiritand doing what youre really here to do.

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN IM FOLLOWING SPIRIT?You know because you stop trying to think of things to do. You just do whatcomes into your mind, or your awareness, each moment. This is the simple wayto live ones life, and its infinitely more effective and, ultimately, much moreenjoyable.

WHAT IF THE WRONG THINGS COME INTO MY MIND?The mind may have in it the wrong things, because minds cant know what thesoul wants for you. But when youre really in touch with your higher self, thewrong things will stop coming to you. Youll know the difference betweenlower thoughts of the mind and higher inspiration of spirit. Youll learn to do

what the higher part wants you to do. If you were to truly follow spirit, youwould never do anything wrong, from the perspective of what your higher selfreally wants for you. You would stop trying to think your way through life anddo what spirit wanted. It can become very easy, really.

HOW DOES ONE BEGIN TO LEARN TO FOLLOW SPIRIT?You stop following fears and delusions; all the things of the third dimensionalworld which people usually follow. You stop taking action just to be doingsomething. You sit and you listen and you act when you feel the impulse to actcoming from deeply inside you, and not until then. You and your spirit are one;you need only to allow it to speak to you, however it does, and act from a

place of inner knowing.

IS THIS WHAT YOU MEAN BY NOT TAKING ACTION UNTIL ITS TIME?Yes. You may sense that something new is coming for you to do. Maybe youreto move to a new place, or start a new line of work, or meet someone new, butits not quite the right timing. You need to wait until the impulse to act comesfrom that place of deep inner knowing. Then, you take action immediatelywithout questioning the Source. If you act too soon, youre acting from a placeof wishing or wanting something to happen, rather than knowing that it willhappen now when you take action.

HOW CAN I LEARN TO ACT FROM TRUE KNOWING?Sense your body and see what it has to tell you. Dont go on what the mindthinks. Minds can easily delude us, because theyre so caught up in thetrappings of the world. Let your impulses to act come from deep in your body.Feel them in your gut, or in your heart. See what your body has to say to you,and act only from that place.


33/89

33

WHY CANT OUR MINDS TELL US WHAT TO DO?Minds will tell us everything they want, as long as were willing to listen tothem. Once we stop listening to them, and allow them to go about theirbusiness, they will begin to quiet down. The mind doesnt really want to be incontrol of things it knows nothing about. Weve just put them in a position of

needing to try to be in control. Everything works much better if we let them bein their true position, and seek deeper answers elsewhere.

IF I WAIT UNTIL MY MIND IS QUIET BEFORE I ACT, WONT I BE WAITINGFOREVER?Not necessarily. Eventually, you can learn to wait until you receive the bodilyimpulse to act, then act. The impulse will come rather quickly once you give upthe need to act in any particular way. Sitting and relaxing can bring about aninstant state of awareness. You need only cultivate this ability and then yourmind will be happy to quiet down and let the soul speak to you.

HOW DOES THE NEED TO ACT CONTROL US?The need to act keeps us doing everything for the wrong reasons. Perhaps youwant to be successful in the world. Or impress someone. Or make lots of moneyand be outwardly happy. These are not good reasons to the soul. The soulwants you to be happy on a deeper level, so it will encourage you to act onlyfrom the place of inner knowing. The soul is your source to higherconsciousness. Its message to take action of any kind comes from deep withinyou.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF NON-DOING?When we feel as if we must act in some way, we attract the minds fears, for

this is where fear lives. Nothing really needs to happen in this world. Yourehere to learn by not doing anything from a place of need or compulsion. Non-doing is when you decide what to do by not doing anything. It can be tricky tolearn. You must learn to discern between the minds thoughts and the wisdomof the soul.

HOW DO WE DO THAT?You begin by sitting and waiting for what feels like an authentic impulse to act,one which comes from spirit, or Source. When you get it, you act. Next, ifnecessary, you sit and wait for another impulse to act. Or you may knowinstantly what to do next, once youve done the first thing. It goes on like this

until you learn to trust your impulses more and more and act from that place ofknowing.

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DONT WAIT TO ACT?If you take action from a hasty impulse usually one which comes from themind youre not doing what your soul wants. Youre reverting back to doingwhat the mind thinks it wants. Youre acting from a nervous energy whichyou believe you must express somehow. Never trust the minds thoughts solely.


34/89

34

Sit and wait for the answers and follow that guidance immediately, as long asits something that wont put you in peril in any way. The soul will never tellyou to do anything dangerous or frightening, though sometimes the mind andego may believe its frightening. You need to relearn how to get in touch withyourself on a deep level where you can tell the difference.


35/89

35

Chapter 7: The Language of the Soul

WHAT IF I CANT GET THE ANSWERS I NEED FROM MY SOUL?Youll get answers - if you quiet your mind and allow them to come. Answersand soul impulses are inside you. Theyre inside everyone; most just dont waitquietly and allow them to surface.

HOW CAN I TELL WHEN IM ACTING FROM THE RIGHT PLACE?First, you must let go of the need to do anything. Non-doing means giving

yourself the chance to know what to do before you act. It doesnt mean younever doing anything at all. It means you sit and wait for the impulse to actand then act. It means non-doing in terms of not doing anything you thinkyou should do. When you act from anywhere other than the soul, you give upyour power to decide whats right for you. You take someone elses idea ofwhats right, or the cultures idea. Rather than acting from your own place ofknowing, youre acting out of fear, or delusion, or happenstance, or somethingother than your souls expanded point-of-view. When you act from the wrongplace, you feel discomfort of some kind in your body. Youll know your bodywants you to be doing something else, no matter how secure or practical youraction may seem to the rational mind.

SO THE RATIONAL MIND CANT KNOW BEST FOR US?Exactly. The mind alone can never know what the body or soul wants. Mindswere never intended to do the things we ask them to do. They were intendedto help us get through the days, doing all the little necessities of life. Webegan asking them to do things for which they were never designed, when westopped trusting ourselves to know on the soul level. Minds are often confusedabout whats right, because theyre constantly listening to and observing thephysical world. This is their role. They belong to that world; its their job toobserve and comment on it. Your inner wisdom has the answers, and innerwisdom can never be known by the mind.

IF OUR MINDS WERE SMARTER, WOULD WE KNOW OURSELVES BETTER?No. Minds are supposed to do ordinary, daily tasks. Minds arent supposed to besmart in the higher sense. Theyre supposed to know how to get us through theday. Theyre basically the working part of our nervous system; thats their truerole. Minds can never know on the higher level whats right for us. That role


36/89

36

belongs to the soul, the inner self, spirit, whatever one chooses to call it. Thispart of us is real, and its the part that should be guiding our lives.Minds can never learn what the soul knows, because they dont speak the samelanguage.

WHATS THE LANGUAGE OF THE SOUL?Impulses, inner knowing, hunches, feelings, awareness, bodily sensations,forms of self-expression, creativity, all those things which the mind thinks itknows but really has no knowledge of at all. The mind knows thoughts and onlythoughts; it can never know feelings or hunches or all those other things. Mindare trained to do things linearly. That is, they have no concept of universalreality, the reality which includes everything happening at once. Minds cant goto the place where all information is available to us every moment. Minds haveto stay basically in the past, for all thoughts are references to the past.

WHEN THE SOUL SPEAKS TO US, WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

Take action immediately, no matter how impractical that action may seem.Dont question what youre doing, as long as youre not doing anything whichmay put you physically at risk in some way. The mind tells you to do thingswhich put you at risk, because it thinks you may need to have such anexperience. The soul never does this. So, you see, the mind really doesnt haveyour true security in mind at all. It has your fears in mind. It has yourjudgments in mind. It has your overwhelming desires in mind. It doesnt haveyour real practical needs in mind.

WHY DOES THE MIND WORK THIS WAY?The mind is trapped in a reality in which nothing happens that isnt mandated

by the third dimensional physical world. Essentially, this means living in thepast, for the physical world is an outgrowth of past thoughts and pastconditions. Its not part of whats really happening in the present moment, onthe level where manifestation originates. Once you respond only to physicalreality, its too late to have any real influence over anything. The game is overonce action occurs on the third dimensional playing field.

DO YOU MEAN PHYSICAL REALITY IS ONLY AN ILLUSION?Yes, you cant affect third dimensional reality because its already over by thetime you notice it. This means its not vibrant, its not alive, its but a productof past events. When you follow your past and let the mind determine how you

shall act, youre following the wrong impulses, because theyre dead, finishedimpulses. Theyre impulses which come from fear or delusion about how thingsare manifesting in the world, rather than from your alive and vibrant spirit.When you follow your soul, you act from a place which knows what you reallyneed to manifest in your life. This inspiration to act will have a definiteinfluence over what plays out in your future.


37/89

37

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS THE FUTURE?In one context, the answer is no, there is no future. There is only the presentmoment and the things you choose to do in it. In another context, there issomething to come, something that will take place based on your soulsimpulses today. If you act a certain way which the soul wants you to act,

whether its to write these words, or take a walk, or whatever, something willhappen next. The key is that you do what you know you should do, in orderto facilitate that next thing in happening, then follow the souls impulses tothe next thing and the next, etc.

IS THIS WHAT LIVING INTUITIVELY IS ALL ABOUT?Yes, its following your intuition to everything that really needs to happen foryou. Even if you dont think youre doing anything at all, youre still going fromthing to thing, and waiting for the next impulse to come to you. Impulsiveliving is not what most people think. Impulses and intuition have been given abad name in this mind-oriented world. Most people believe they have to follow

the mind, or chaos will result.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?The mind has been a good salesman. Its convinced most people that it must bein charge, or they wont know how to live their lives. Nothing could be furtherfrom the truth. The mind needs to relax and let the body and soul run the life.The mind needs to pay attention to its own work and let the other parts makethe major decisions.

HOW WOULD OUR LIVES CHANGE IF THE MIND DID ONLY ITS WORK?Your lives would work very smoothly. You would go from task to task knowing

that it was exactly right for you to be doing in that moment. Life would be fardifferent. No one would do anything based on what they thought they shoulddo, or because someone told them to do it. Life would take on the image of adance, instead of a battle. Most people battle their ways through life; makingall the wrong decisions and doing all the wrong things based on the wronginformation.

ARE YOU SAYING MOST PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS AT WAR IN SOME WAYS?Yes! Most people fight with each other on some level constantly, competing forthings they dont even need because they think they must fight or they wonthave anything. But fighting keeps us trapped in old realities. Our minds want to

fight for everything, again out of fear or delusion. But minds can never besatisfied. They just fight for the next thing, once weve achieved the lastthing. Minds can never know peace. The soul knows peace; we need only tolearn to listen to it and wait for it to give us peace.

HOW DO WE ACHIEVE PEACE?We dont achieve peace. We allow peace to come to us. We let ourselvesreceive what the soul wants for us. Peace comes when were ready to accept


38/89

38

it. Peace is the product of letting ourselves know what the soul wants. Peacecomes when were ready to have it fully in our lives. Peace is the true natureof the inner self. Humans are at peace deep inside. When you let go of the fearof not having what you want, youll have everything you really need. Live yourlife this way, and youll find all the peace you could ever imagine, and a lot

more.

CAN OUR MINDS EVER IMAGINE WHAT WE REALLY NEED?No, we must learn to imagine with a higher part of us which has nothing to dowith the mind. The mind can only think. The body and the soul know how toimagine. Imagination is a very powerful thing, because it transcends the mind.Imagination gives us the chance to dream about the future, to see what mighthappen or not happen if we do or dont do one thing or another. The mind canonly see what it thinks, and it can never think about what hasnt alreadyhappened.

SO THE MIND AS DEFINED THIS WAY CANT REALLY IMAGINE?Thats right; mind can never imagine anything. Minds may imagine that theycan imagine. But theyre really imagining by thinking about what it might belike to imagine. Do you see how confusing this can get, when you dont listento your soul. The soul is very simple. When you listen to the soul, you merelydo what it tells you to do in the moment, and then in the next moment, and soon. Its a very simple, and much more effective, way to live.

THEN ITS OKAY FOR THE MIND TO NOT KNOW WHAT WERE GOING TO DONEXT?The mind never knows what were really going to do next. It may think it

knows, but it doesnt know. It may think about what it might be like if we didone thing or another. But it really doesnt know, until after that thing hasalready happened.

IF I FOLLOW MY GUT FEELINGS, WILL I ALWAYS DO WHATS RIGHT?Yes, once you truly learn to follow your inner knowing, youll do whats righton the deeper level. Youll do what you need to do, in order for your soul, yourpsyche, your higher self, to experience what it needs. Youll do whats right, tohelp you learn more about life and how you may live here more productively.Youll do whats right, to learn how to be more of your expansive and awareself while youre here. Youll do what you need to do to live a happier, more

fulfilled reality. Your gut knows what you need to do. You only have to takesteps to get to the place where you can accurately feel it.

Chapter 8: What Is Love?

WHAT IS THE NATURE OF REAL LOVE?Love is intended to be a way to connect oneself with the universe. You use theenergy of love, whether that energy comes to you through another person ordirectly from the universe, as a way of feeling your body and your soul. Inthese terms, love is really a way to sense ones body and to learn aboutoneself.

BUT DOESNT LOVE ORIGINATE INSIDE US?Love is inside the body, but not only in the body. Love can also come fromoutside the body. This is the kind of love we call universal or unconditionallove. It comes from the universe, or from the Source of all-that-is. This kind oflove can be used for feeling the energies of the body. You can learn to releaseenergies that arent needed, by feeling the body deeply and letting love powerful energy that it is carry them out of the body. In a sense, this is thehigher use of love.

ARE YOU SAYING MOST PEOPLE SEE LOVE AS SOMETHING IT ISNT?Most people see love as less than it is. Love and universal energy are really the

same thing. Any time one feels both human love and universal love at the sametime, one is in full contact with the universe. Most people feel human love andignore the greater possibilities.

SO ITS NOT ENOUGH TO FEEL ONLY HUMAN LOVE?Not if you want to be a complete being, one who can accurately sense both thebody and the higher self. Human energy is fine by itself, but its not the lovewhich one speaks of in expanded, or cosmic, terms. Human love is dependentupon personal likes and dislikes, things that cant be determined on a cosmiclevel. Expanded love, the love that Rumi and other mystics have written about,this is love which transcends all aspects of human reality.

DID RUMI MEAN THAT WE ARE ALL EXPANDED BEINGS?Yes, exactly. He meant that universal love comes to all who expect to have it.That theres no way to avoid having love, if one lets all the love possible cometo them easily. You cant avoid love unless you try to not have it.

SO LOVE IS AVAILABLE TO US WITHOUT TRYING?Yes, your natural state is love. To have all the love you could ever need, youneed only to relax and let it come to you.

WHY DONT WE JUST HAVE WHAT WE NEED WITHOUT TRYING?

You can. But usually people believe they cant have it. You must try reallyhard, in order to not have something your universe makes readily available.When you believe you dont deserve something, you try to not have it, just tovalidate your ill-gotten beliefs.

DO YOU MEAN WE MAY THINK WE DONT DESERVE LOVE?Yes, and this belief keeps you from having love. Most people work really hardat having anything, including love, and the very work itself keeps them fromsensing their real needs and having them met by the loving universe. If theywould only relax, all that they need would be right there in front of them. Butpeople are taught at an early age that they cant easily have what they want,

that they have to work hard for it.

WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE IF PEOPLE LET THEMSELVES HAVE ALL THEY NEED?It would be magnificent! People would simply allow themselves to be who theyare. They wouldnt go anywhere in search of anything, because it would beright there for them, wherever they are.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SEARCHING FOR SO MUCH?Generally, it is love itself. Because theres this image in most peoples mindsthat if love were so easy to have, life wouldnt be worth living. So they tryreally hard to have it, and it usually eludes them.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?I mean that most people are confused about the need to work hard to haveanything of value. They think that if something comes easily to them, it wontbe worth having. Isnt that silly? Most people find that if theyre givensomething, they dont value it. They work hard for most things they dontneed, and downplay what theyre given. People are very strange creatures inthis regard.

HOW DOES ONE RECEIVE ALL ONE NEEDS FROM THE UNIVERSE?Simply relax and let it come to you. For instance, with love, you dont need to

go anywhere to have love. You dont need to attract anyone in particular toyou. You need only to know that youre worthy of having love, and let theuniverse give you all that it can give you. The key is that you allow yourself toreceive love when it comes to you.

WHY DO WE BLOCK LOVE FROM COMING TO US?Again, it comes back to not feeling worthy. Self-esteem issues are at the basisof most unhappiness. If people could only realize how beautiful they are, and


42/89

42

stop trying so hard to have what they think they cant easily have, this worldwould be a very beautiful place. Until then, there will be confusion,competition, unhappiness, and lots of regret, which comes from not havingwhat you think you should have allowed yourself to have. Your soul knows whenyoure unhappy, and it tries to give you what you need. But most people block

themselves from receiving it, so they can justify themselves in feeling poorlyabout themselves. They actually cause the disenchantment by not having whatthey believe they can never have. Isnt that silly?

YES, BUT WHAT CAN WE DO TO STOP THIS?First, you can stop thinking youre not worthy of having anything you need. Youcan stop believing youre an inferior being. You are a grand and glorious beingwho is fully capable of having all that you need. You can have all the love youruniverse can give you. You can have everything you need. You can let Sourcegive you the essence of universal love, and you can enjoy it as much aspossible. And you dont need to do anything to deserve it. It really all begins

with seeing yourself for who you are.

WHO AM I REALLY?You are light. Yes, youre a being of light. You come here as light. You leavehere as light. In between, you fall into the trap of believing youre just thisphysical being. You think you dont exist on other planes, because you cantsee them. But when you begin opening to the possibility that youre much morethan a physical being, your light begins coming through. People notice thischange in you, even if you dont notice it in yourself. The more your lightshines through, the more people want to experience it. This is who you are:Youre a light being whose light is shining brightly. As people notice, they want

to be light, too. This is how each of you can teach all the others about lightand love.

DOES LIGHT MEAN THE SAME THING AS LOVE?Yes, love is another word for light, or for the energy that runs all creation.Light is a way of seeing the universe, and all other creation, as light or color.Color is actually a very powerful medium. Light makes everything happen, onsome level. The sensation of love comes to individuals to let them knowtheyre in the light. When you feel a state of love, youre in touch with thelight of creation. Youre feeling your own connection with the all-that-is.

SO LIGHT COMES TO ALL WHO ASK FOR IT?Yes, just like love, light comes to you when you ask for it. It comes to all whowant it. You cant deny yourself having all the light of awareness you need tolive beautiful, exalted lives unless you try to deny yourself. This is where therub happens. As I said before, people deny themselves having light andknowledge and love because they dont think they deserve them.

Chapter 9: Low Self-Esteem & High Egos

WHERE DOES LOW SELF-ESTEEM GET ITS ROOTS?Low self-esteem comes from a misperception that one shouldnt be in humanform. When many people come here, its with the idea that theyre beingpunished in some way by being here. There is this misperception that this lifeisnt as worthy as angelic life, etc. As if one shouldnt be here at all, but hasbeen subjected to this place in order to learn lessons of some kind.

HOW WOULD SUCH AN IDEA ORIGINATE?This belief got its start in the first beings who became conscious here. Theythought that because this was a harsh place to live, it meant theyd beensentenced to it for something they did wrong. But this isnt the case at all. Thisplace is simply what it is; theres no need to feel mistreated, nor to leave herebefore one can become more awake.

BUT WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO LIVE HERE?It doesnt have to be. People make it difficult by believing that it needs to be.People often believe theyre being punished when theyre not. Most of thetime, one is simply living ones life when something that appears bad mayhappen to them. Yet, theyve done nothing to cause this thing to happen; itsonly happened. Do you see how this belief in cause-and-effect can lead one tothe conclusion that they must have done something to cause the event? Do yousee how your ego plays a part in this? As mentioned previously, the ego wantsto be in charge. So it pretends it caused the event to happen, when of courseit really had nothing to do with it. The ego pretends it can control events inthis way, so that it feels all powerful. But its not powerful at all, and it cannever control the events of this world.

ARE YOU SAYING THE EGO THINK IT MAKES THE WORLD HAPPEN?Yes, the ego thinks the entire world revolves around it. It believes it must feelpowerful in order to justify its own existence. Once again, when you get rid ofthe ego you dissolve all belief that youre causing anything to happen, good orbad. The ego is never in charge of your life, and the sooner you realize this,the sooner youll discover yourself and get on with your real growth.

DOES OUR SOUL GROW BECAUSE WE EXPECT OR DEMAND IT?No, the soul grows when you let it grow. Your expectations have nothing to dowith it. You dont even have to think about growth for it to be happening onthe soul level. You just need to stop impeding this growth with your thoughtsand actions. You need to let go of holding onto beliefs about how things should

be, and let things be as they will. Growth is a relatively easy thing, once youstop thinking about how it should happen.

BUT IF I DONT FOCUS ON GROWING, HOW WILL I KNOW I AM?The point is to let go of the control of thinking you know how the growthprocess should be happening. You can focus on allowing the process to continuenaturally, while at the same time letting it happen at its own pace. You donthave to control anything for it to happen according to the natural flow of theuniverse. Theres nothing to do. All will happen in its own time. Yet, it is goodto focus on your bodys needs and learn what its like to be as fully consciousof your growth as possible.

HOW DOES THE IDEA OF KARMA PLAY INTO LOW SELF-ESTEEM ISSUES?Karma is a belief system, like so many other things here. People who believe inkarma often believe they dont deserve to be free of karma theyve built upover the years, or lifetimes. So they go on undeserving themselves into karmicmisery. It becomes just another reason to feel badly about themselves,another manmade illusion.

KARMA IS ALSO ILLUSION?Sure, its another part of the illusion of this place. Karma is a manmadephenomenon. Its only real when they choose to believe in it. What people

don't usually recognize is that they can choose to not have karma if they want.Karma is not a given here. It may seem real for those who believe in it. But formuch of the world, karma isnt part of their belief system. If its real oneplace on the planet and not real another place, then its part of humancreation, and that makes it an illusion.

DOES BELIEF IN KARMA FORM PEOPLES ACTIONS?Yes, very much so. For instance, if you dont believe in karma, such as if yourreligion makes no mention of it, then you dont do your life as if karma willhave any influence. Youll do whatever you want with little fear or regretrelated to karma. So karma, like everything else, is an illusion made manifest

by some peoples belief in it. A Buddhist may believe in it. A Christian may not.However one believes pretty much determines whats real for them. This is notjust about the concept of karma, of course. Belief systems of any kind willgenerally have great influence on peoples actions.

IF ONE BELIEVES IN KARMA, CAN ONE STILL BREAK FREE OF IT?Sure, stop believing in it. Your beliefs determine how you act. If you decidethat youre free of karma, that you never again need to deal with it, then you


45/89

45

are free of it. You can become karma-free by believing youre karma-free. Todo this, you must become aware of the tremendous power of the thoughtprocess, of how you determine your future by your beliefs today. You candecide to not believe in anything and it will disappear out of your life.

DO YOU MEAN IF I DONT WANT SOMETHING, I CAN JUST STOP BELIEVING INIT?Yes, but you must be sincere about it, and you must decide for yourself how tomanage without it. If you decide you dont want something in your life, andyou just think about not having it, that wont necessarily eliminate it. But ifyou decide for certain that you dont want it, and you create for yourself anentire life thats free of it, then it will disappear from your life. You canbecome free of karma or anything else by knowing that its not part of yourlife.

CAN I WILL ANYTHING OUT OF MY LIFE?

I didnt say will; I said know. Willing something out of your life is still part ofthe thought process. Willing is the same as thinking, except with more effort.Effort doesnt get one anyplace, except back into the mind and all itstrappings.

DO YOU MEAN THAT WILL-POWER ISNT GOOD?I mean that will-power doesnt exist in true reality. Its another belief system,based on fear that if you dont have something, you wont be okay. Will-poweris another illusion; it doesnt exist for awakened beings. Its a tool used bythose who are trying to discover themselves, to help them see that they canmake a difference in their lives. But ultimately its still buying into the illusion

that one must be in absolute control of ones life. Will-power gets you only asfar as yourself, then you have to start all over again to learn whats reallyimportant, what really exists beyond the belief that youre a separate andindependent being here.

IF WILL-POWER DOESNT EXIST, HOW IS ONE TO CONTROL ONES LIFE?You cant control your life. You never could. You may think you can controlyour life, but you cant. Theres no way to control anything here. You must letgo of the idea that you can control your life before spirit can reach you andhelp you. Control is, in effect, another tool caused by fear and the belief thatto be safe, one must not
