We had the room setup as usual.
I did the opening prayer at 8.40pm, tuned off the light and
put the music on.
We did the Rainbow Bridge visualisation exercise…
Liz started off at a red brick tunnel like a storm drain and
was going to go down it but then thought she didn’t really want to and noticed
lots of ferns growing next to it and was fascinated by the greenness and
colours and noticed there were bubbles with rainbows around them. She then
suddenly found herself in an enormous rainbow bubble and she didn’t have any
shape or form it was like she was with everything and could float anywhere. She
was just consciousness with no form or body. She found it interesting to be
nothing and no one but just there and in everything, a sense of incredible
freedom just flowing with everything without being anything. Liz then went out
of it; she was having experiences and conversations but couldn’t remember them
when she found herself back in the bubble. Liz then thought of a white bird,
free flowing and then the bird turned into a figure, a white robed man and she
thought about asking him about freedom and just being but then thought she
wasn’t content just to be, she felt she had to have an embodiment somewhere…
I started off looking into some water and it was like
somebody had pulled a plug as it was spiralling down towards a plug hole. I got
the urge to jump in and go with it and found myself spinning round and round. I
could see what looked like musical notes spinning around me. I was expecting to
get sucked down the plug hole but just stayed in one place spinning round and
watching these musical notes which then changed into thin wires which became
entangled forming a thick black cable which then became a spiral around me
lifting me up out of the water as it spiralled higher and higher. Then it
stopped, it continued to spin round me but didn’t get any higher. I then saw
people in other spirals around me; some were higher than me, others lower. I
got the feeling that this was where I was in life on my spiritual pathway and
as I thought this I felt someone speaking to me, saying that I had progressed
to this point and to get higher I had to get rid of various fears, beliefs and
ego. I had sometimes managed to get rid of these fears temporarily but had
brought myself back down again to this level but each time I did that it gave
me more confidence… Then the black spiral became chrome plated and the area
around me became brighter and lighter. I saw white birds flying around me, it
was a wonderful feeling and the message continued saying that sometimes I would
get a boost like this which would help me to get rid of fears and move forward.
I was told to recognise these boosts and act on them accordingly. Then as the
music ended I got a glimpse of who was speaking to me and it was a young girl,
about five years old…
I put the music back on and we continued the session…
I felt pressure on my forehead and around my right ear.
The room started to look brighter to me and then became
blobby.
Liz started to speak about halfway through the music CD…
‘Rags to riches…
Rainbow people… I had the broken egg shells and a bird emerging, it’s the
breaking out of the prison… The surprise of people when the transformation
takes place, to have left behind the dross, the old suit of clothes, the rags.
I think it’s because it’s like a piece of theatre, like in Pygmalion, you can
re-educate, just a question of changing the part you are playing. You can step
from the beggar girl to suddenly a duchess and the teacher is just belief, just
believing that you can, trusting, trusting of transition. It’s like children
believe in the abracadabra, the magic, they can change the crying face into the
happy face just by saying abracadabra’
‘We have miracles all
around us when we consider the birth of a baby, the miracle of birth and yet we
imprison ourselves in a fixed state of belief that we’re stuck, there’s no
hope, no exit, no possibility of transformation. Others may be happy, may be
wealthy, may have the freedom to travel but we’re fixed, doomed and that is
such a perversion of the truth’
‘You have to know that
there is no mountain too high to climb, no river too deep to cross, no path too
difficult to travel along, everything is possible’
‘Heroes and heroines
can play their part. Even the heroin addict can become the heroine not a victim
of habit’
‘Rolls to play, it’s
just a little costume, a little contrivance, fancy dress, you can put on the
costume and you can take it off again. You just have to become aware that it is
a costume, one that you’ve chosen to wear. You can un-choose it, discard it.
You don’t have to wear a costume at all, you can walk free, that’s the scary
thing’
‘It’s the syndrome of
the bird in the cage and when the door is open it cowers in the corner too
scared to immerge, preferring the safety of the prison, the safe constraints’
The music ended and Liz continued…
‘The key to it is
love, you take the Quasimodo, entranced, bewitched, in love with the beautiful
girl. The hunchback becomes noble; the despised becomes a hero through love,
through selfless devotion. Quasimodo and Esmeralda in the Hunchback of
Notre-Dame’
‘I have a sense of
Cuthbert and the name Tony; it’s like looking at lots of pebbles on the floor’
‘Would you like to ask
anything?’
Me… ‘Yes… We talk
about becoming love and letting go of fears, what would you say is the best way
of identifying our fears and the best way to get rid of those fears?’
‘Love… imagining a
crystal ocean, a state of unfettered bliss, an absolute devotion, cultivating
the love, cultivating the desire for this union with absolute bliss. Love can
be in the form of an ideal, a person, a divine, a god, whatever but the love,
that is cultivated so that becomes the complete focus, everything else drops
aside. That becomes the dominant motivation and when love of the living God, love
of the absolute, the divine, the crystal clear purity, truth, when that becomes
dominant the rags fall away, the rags being the fear and you have the riches.
So it has to be cultivated, the desire, in whatever way. The lover sings songs
and poems to the beloved, pictures her face, her hands, her feet, worships the
ground where she treads. The astronomer loses himself in the glory of the stars
in space, devoted to reading the messages in the stars; the naturalist bathes
in the beauty of the glory of the living things, the miracle of life, the
passion and the love. The pursuit of that can drive out fear. That’s where
people take all sorts of risks because that desire becomes the driving and
motivating force and then there isn’t any room for fear. So love is the way, to
cultivate love’
Me… ‘So it’s not a
case of identifying and getting rid of fear it’s more a case of working towards
love and becoming love and the fears will naturally fall away’
‘Yes when one is in a
state of love, when one has aligned oneself with love through desire, through
motivation towards that then love casts out fear’
Me… ‘So how can we
work towards love in a physical reality, in our daily lives? What should we be
trying to do to move ourselves up more to this love?’
‘To open the heart is
to consciously wish for wellbeing for oneself and for those around as though
they are also oneself. Whatever is best for me, the best for others too, the
best for all, for I, for you, to cultivate that feeling and the empathy. There
are ways of actively doing that through prayer, through reading stories of the
heroes, of those who have devoted their lives to others, to have an ideal;
these arouse in the living spirit, in the human heart a possibility of love.
Even reading about these heroes who have devoted themselves to service, to
selfless deeds, that can arouse the motivation, the possibility and then to
actively seek, to love and to wish well to everyone even those that hurt you
which was the Christ message to turn the other cheek, to love your enemies and
that has to be cultivated because empathy will help you to understand that even
your enemy who seems to hurt you is a human, is trying to do the best they can.
Walk in their shoes. Even your enemy wishes for happiness, wishes for comfort,
has things that will allay their fears or make them feel at peace. Wish that
for them. If your enemy who hurts you, who is mean to you, was in a state of
perfect bliss he wouldn’t hurt, he wouldn’t offend, so wish him in that state
and that is cultivating love in your heart. Then the highest love to love the
love of the living God, love of the miracle of live. Appreciation is also love,
to appreciate, to adore, to cultivate those feelings of enjoyment and wonder.
The child has an unconditional sense of love and wonder so to become childlike
in the appreciation of what is around will open the heart but if your heart is
heavy and this is difficult then the intent to ask for the gift of love, to
have an intention to become loving, have an intention to rise towards love and
those things that will help it will be drawn to you if that is your desire to
open your heart’s centre, to rise on the wings of love, to drive out fear, to
rise beyond fear, to be elevated above the level of fear into the reality of
love. If that is your wish keep wishing, intending, asking and grace will grant
this wish one way or another, it will happen in the fullness of time, whatever
you ask for in the name of love and the name of truth and the name of freedom
is already yours but in the fullness of time it will be revealed to you,
yourself will be revealed to you because you, I, we are love. All that’s hiding
it is the ragged old cloak, the garment we’ve donned which has got in the way
and we hate these old rags’
Me… ‘So we’ve allowed
these old rags to build up since incarnating and living a physical life have
we?’
‘Yes and we are full
of self-loathing in these rags, they’ve imprisoned us, we just don’t know what
to do with them, shake them off, it’s our sense of doom and imprisonment but
let them be but aim to open the heart like the thirsty man longing for water,
he’s drawn towards the oasis, to the well and when he reaches it his thirst
will be quenched. To all who call out who cry out for love, love will open up
to them and embrace them. The experience of love in which they live will
happen, that will be like walking through a door, like the walls around them melting
away, one day they will open their eyes and look out and know that they are in
love, that they are held in love, that there is nowhere else for them to go,
just like opening up your eyes and seeing what was there all along and that’s
like the abracadabra, the rags turn to riches in the blink of an eye’
Me… ‘Is it possible to
become love and lose all fears whilst still in the physical reality?’
‘It is possible but
few achieve this but it can happen and it can happen spontaneously but the call
of the world when one is immersed in the physical reality at present, that it’s
very easy to go from the sublime to the ridiculous very quickly, to oscillate.
To stabilise the fear free state takes some practise and that’s where the
prayer and the meditation and the constant disciplining of the mind can help to
work towards that threshold beyond which it’s very difficult to fall back, so
many have glimpses and moments of selfless devotion, rapture, love but fall
back into the old habits of negativity, hatred, delusion. There are those who
by grace are transformed and the transformation seems to be fixed but that’s
very few and often that’s the result of a lot of previous work but for many at
present stabilisation of that state, of those glimpses is necessary because the
pull of the universal unconscious at present which is fear based is predominant
and without due attention and guard it’s easy to be sucked back so that’s where
the stabilisation and meditation and prayer are constant re-affirmation of
intention. Remembering is important to stabilise one’s position in the state of
love. So for most people it will require some work and stabilisation. Once many
people have worked towards this and achieved a certain threshold is reached and
there will be a switch in the human psyche from the fear based to a love based
and then that’s plane sailing, it’s the beginning of the overall
transformation, the rags to riches, but it’s like those strong swimmers that
have seen where they are going, have to still work hard against the current
until the waters, until the conditions make the last laps easier. When
sufficient are all swimming in alignment towards the sea and suddenly the flow
will become smooth and even as if those swimmers have suddenly transformed the
medium in which they are swimming and the turbulence is left behind so from the
turbulent flow we come to the free flow, the unobstructed flow. A little bit
like from the ordinary electricity conduction to super conduction, no
resistance. It’s doubted that that could take place at room temperature but
with love the switch would be instantaneous. That’s where we’re going, the
resistance is the fears and blockages and they will fall away’
Me… ‘I suppose for
most people who live in this physical world the thought of becoming love just
doesn’t come to them they just go about their daily lives building up fears and
beliefs. What is there to motivate them, to work towards becoming love
themselves?’
‘An acknowledgement of
the dissatisfaction that sometimes stirs their soul. An acknowledgement of the
boredom that they feel, of the hollow, to face the darkness that they feel at
times, the nightmares. For the most part these things are suppressed with
distraction, externalisation, all the nightmares are out there in the bombings
and the disasters. So the nightmare in our heart is suppressed by seeing it
played out on the external and it distracts us from the acknowledgement that
these wars and these rapes and savage acts are in our heart, are in us. But the
point of nausea and disgust, to become more aware of that and to question what
it is, to not accept but it has to be like this. So the dissatisfaction of
accepting that this is how things are and should be is the beginning. So the
more people are encouraged to query, is this a good way to be? Does it have to
be like this? What do you feel about this? To acknowledge the feelings of disgust,
distaste, do you care that you’re eating meat from animals who’ve never seen
the light of day, who’ve lived cheek by jowl with each other in cramped
conditions, does that food feel wholesome? To question that’s education but then
to allow for the feelings of ummm rather than just accepting and ignoring. So
facing a little bit of the darkness and realising the jarring in one’s own
nature and that can then set for a desire for something more and a desire for
beauty and harmony. So again it’s education, to open the eyes of people to what
is harmonious and beautiful. To encourage appreciation has to be because the
soul will resonate with that. That is an education, so then the desire for what
is beautiful and good and harmonious, love for the living God, love for what is
good, what is true, what is right, what is beautiful, what is kind,
considerate. The human soul will be drawn towards that as preferable to the
disharmonious, to the cruel and then the compassion for the suffering of the
disharmonious and the cruel will also arise, the compassion for the travesties,
the sadness. These are all feelings of the heart. So it’s not dismissing the
darkness it’s acknowledging it, accepting one’s own contribution to this but
desiring more, wanting to transform, to wipe away the tears, to bring joy but
to befriend the tears and to befriend the troubled because by befriending and
kindness towards that it’s also facilitating the transformation because many a
troubled soul has been healed by a kind word and lifted by a kind word and the
same applies to our own self, useless to chastise oneself for one’s arrogance,
for one’s ignorance, for one’s conceit but to accept these, to wish for better,
to wish for the best, because all these sides, the dark and the light are all
part of the human condition, part of our experience. It has to be acknowledged
but having seen the rags and decided that we want the gold and then we see the
rags change to gold, when we decide strongly enough that it’s the gold we want
and not the rags but the status quo is that we don’t believe sufficiently in the
gold and we’re wedded to the rags at present because the rags is what we’re
used to, it’s the old familiar. So to let go of the rags for the gold, until we
are absolutely sure and certain the gold is there for us we cling to the rags.
So it’s the cultivation and the belief of the gold, the cultivation of the love
and desire for the gold, for the beautiful, for the good, for the love, the
kindling of that so it becomes the predominant picture in the mind, then it
becomes more real than the rags and you can let go and the rags will disappear.
At the moment our love is fragile, our goodness is fragile, the fragility of
our goodness is because we haven’t invested in that desire for it strongly
enough. We’ve been wedded to the violence, to the horror, to the greed, to the
negativities, they’re the old familiar’
Me… ‘Difficult to let
go of’
‘Yes, we’ve forgotten
until we remember and by remembering we re-embody, we reinvest in goodness.
Then it will become robust and healthy in us and the rags will fall away. For
many it’s easy to say just love, live in love, let go of fear. Easy to say that
but for most of us those are words, theories, our bedrock. Theories are what
we’ve been born into, it’s our reality so until we change that reality
consciously by developing a new paradigm, by remembering the other reality,
remembering another reality that we have been forced to forget, that we’ve
divested ourselves of, we no longer think we belong to, remembering that is a
labour for us but we are given glimpses, reminders, but it’s for us to
stabilise those reminders and to allow that to become the main motivating
factor, main intention, main guiding light of our life. So there is a work and
reconditioning to be done for the majority of people. Grace can give
intimations in the experience but for most people they can have that experience
but they will fall back so the experience will give them the motivating force
to persevere in the transformation but the person has to work for it
themselves, to facilitate that change but there is help and so acknowledging
that we are not alone, that there is an incentive beyond us in the larger
consciousness system, in the larger reality we’re being pulled towards that so
once the conscious intention has been made to awaken, to recondition, to
realign one’s reality with goodness, with love, there is help and the universe
will facilitate every endeavour, and although there may be fallings along the
way, maybe times of dearth, people will feel they’re falling back into the old
habits, it’s so difficult, a new pull will happen, a new opening, a new
reminder’
Me… ‘This help that is
beyond this reality and helping us in this reality, is there at the same time
also negative energies that are beyond this reality which are trying to hold us
back, stop us from moving towards love or is the negativity only within this
physical reality?’
‘The negativity is
only from ignorance of the true status and ultimately the path of wholeness and
integrity. There’s nowhere to go to be outside of love so any interference with
the whole pattern, there’s only a blip and a blemish and a transitory turbulence
based on ignorance but there is ultimately only one and that one is all and all
contains within it the good, bad and the ugly but it’s all contained within
love which is the all and the nature of the all is beyond anything that we can
know but malevolence is just a misapprehension, a misappropriation of energies
and it has no lasting or enduring power. True knowledge and wisdom will see
beyond the dualities. So I guess the answer to your question about whether
malevolent forces exist not just in our physical reality but in others, or the
old hermetic tradition that says as above so below, so we resonate with much
that is rippling through the universe but these are transitory stages and states
of being and beings but we are all evolving in love and towards love. Much that
we call evil is due to our judgement not to our wisdom. Our wisdom says there
is nothing and nowhere to go to be outside of love, that everything is real,
everything is as it is and there’s no judgement in love, all is as it should be
and all is true, just has to be seen from its full perspective rather than the
limited conditioned and judgemental perspective that we operate in in our
current physical paradigm. You see when you look at the birds and the bees and
creatures on Earth they all have their ways, their devious ways of outwitting
each other and living and surviving and we don’t make judgements about the way
they are and go about things but the human mind has developed in its
Machiavellian thinking patterns and condemns and praises, makes judgements, but
this is the very partial nature of our thinking. We are as we are but we can
choose to operate in different ways, we have that facility and to better and to
cooperate more, to be more cohesive, to be kinder and there are ways that we
can operate to make things better but to castigate and to judge is a human
device, we don’t really do it to animals, we don’t judge the lion for ripping
its prey, for taking a mother animal away from her babies to eat to feed its
babies, we are as we are and it’s all true but if we’re not quite happy as we
are being here in our human status we can change it, we don’t have to stick
with it but without judgement we can just register that it doesn’t feel quite
nice or right or happy or conducive and we can change it but part of our mind
will blame and castigate but that’s the human mind working, making divisions,
but it’s all good, it’s all the way it is. If we could see from a higher perspective
all these judgements and conditionalities would just fade into a blur, they’re
not very important in the bigger picture but we are like ants in a great forest
and it’s difficult for us to see the whole. Whatever I am saying is partial,
the best of my understanding but bound to be limited. When January comes we put
on warm clothes, we cover ourselves with garments. When summer comes and the
sun is out we take off those clothes and all I can say is that the summer is
coming and the sun is coming and the time for taking off the clothes is coming
and it will happen… that’s all’
Me… ‘That’s good to
know, thank you for answering my questions with some very interesting answers’
As Liz came back she sensed she had her Uncle Bernie with
her.
Once Liz was feeling fully back with it I did the healing
exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise.
I had felt very cold when the communication first started
and towards the end I felt a strong pulling from my forehead and right ear
towards Liz…
