A Shifting Perspective B: All right, I'll say: question. Q: Can you tell me what Cleopatra's goals were during her reign, in association with Caesar? B: No. Question. Q: I would like to ask you a question. B: One moment, please. . (Pause). Q: I was curious... B: One moment, please.... you may understand one idea, in that the choices of that being, that personality at that time, were directly responsible for finding an emotional foundation which allowed that being to be the channel of expression for a particular portion of the emotional idea of an overall mass consciousness represented by that civilization, with regard to its wishes to expand into contact with other civilizations round and about it; but through that level of emotionality rather than mental interaction. Do you follow me? Q: Yes. B: Will that do for now? Q: That will be great. Thank you. B: Thank you. Yes? Q: Yeah, I have a question. Just to understand better the mechanics of the channeling: if I or somebody else would ask a question in another language -- in French or in Spanish, would you understand? Or because the channel...? B: You will find that in a sense we will understand; however, we do not speak your language. Realize that we are utilizing -- as the channel allows us to do so -- the channel as a translation device. Therefore, in a sense, the understanding, as you say, of a particular language must be within the translation device, within the channel. Realize that the concepts will be understood, but there will be no way for them to telepathically emerge. Q: Mhmm. I understand. B: Realize that this is because a channel, seen always as having free will, still, on some level, is always aware of exactly how they are functioning. And as such you will find that only when in very limited circumstances -- depending upon the channel's own willingness when they allow themselves to defocus almost totally from their reality -- will they allow themselves to supercede the idea of language and become telepathic themselves. And as such, thereby, they will be able to function in a way as /that/ type of channel - when language does not mean anything. Q: Mhmm. Thank you. B: Thank you. Question. Q: I have a question. In each individual, each consciousness creates her own reality. And if it involves another consciousness... B: Then that is a shared reality, agreed upon between the individuals. The portion of that reality to be shared and experienced by both of them -- or all of them -- as your physical planet is a mass agreed-upon reality, to a degree. Realize there are many individuals in your system that share only portions of your reality; you call them insane. They are experiencing other realities of which you are simply not willing to view. Q: Oh, okay. Yes. So what can we do to better integrate that? Because when you're dealing with another consciousness, they have their own reality, their own experience, and if you want to have the feeling of love there... B: Realize that all you need is to integrate yourself, since each and every one of you is your own universe, is the universe. By allowing yourself to fill that universe with total integration of self, and therefore, perfect self-love, you will be filling the universe with love, and that love then can be shared by all those that are willing. When you allow yourself to radiate as a beacon of love, then you will be doing the most you can possibly do to share that feeling with anyone else who wishes to -- but they have to wish to. Q: And if they don't, then... B: Too bad! The minute -- the second, the instant -- you wish to force that upon them, you are removing that love from your own universe. Q: Ooh! Yes, that's right. B: That is also what occurs in judgment. Realize that in order to judge, you must become that level. You must be equal to that which you are being condescending towards -- to understand it. And as such, you become judged by yourself instantly. Q: But there is nothing wrong with becoming it, because you become ideas -- right? But it's... B: In that sense, yes. Q: But it's the judgment then that acts upon you, because in order to be equal to it, you have to become it. B: Thank you. Q: Okay. Good. B: Question. Q: I have a question. B: All right. Q: What happens to the consciousness of the person when they die and to the body, as we know it on this planet? What happens to people who die? B: All right. (Whispering in a very small, strained voice, mimicking the person asking the question) Where you (--?) very strange and mysterious things -- are you sure you want to hear this? Q: Yes. B: Are you sure you are not afraid? Q: No. B: Are you sure you're not awed by the mystery? Q: Are you making fun of me? B: I am having fun with you. Allow me to say: 'tis no big mystery, 'tis really quite simple. Realize, in very many ways, what you term to be death is no different than life, 'tis simply another viewpoint. You may understand that you have shifted your focus -- shifted your perspective, turned 180 degrees in another direction -- and are now viewing life from another viewpoint, 'tis that simple; 'tis like stepping through a door into another room. 'Tis very simple, I will say there are mechanics of vibration involved, yes. But the overall effect is simply that you are still conscious of yourself; you are still aware of your consciousness. You are, in a sense, giving yourself a different perspective, one that allows you an overview of physical reality. In your terms, it will be like standing on top of the hill, and being able to see all of the inhabitants of the valley, whereas the valley is restricted in a sense to simply viewing the valley, and not what is on the other side of the hill. But both the hill and the valley are part of life, and there is an exuberance in being on top of a hill, but not in a judgmental sense. Simply that you can feel the wind, the wind of your own consciousness, and you can see in which direction it flows more easily, 'tis simply a shifting perspective, very simple. What do you think? Q: What do I think? I think that was a terrific answer. B: Oh no, no! Not what do you think about what I think -- what do /you/ think? "What do I think, little insignificant me, compared to your grand majesty?" Q: That's a very great Indian accent. You really want to know? Okay, I'll tell you. B: No! Q: Okay. B: Yes. Rather I would say: what do you feel? Q: Okay, I'd like to share that with you. B: Thank you. I knew that would... Q: In the work that I do very often I get a clear sense of entities which have supposedly passed from the body. They are very much present, and very much wanting to share information with the people that come to me. So my sense was that there is definitely existence beyond the body, and it's nice to hear it confirmed B: Realize, first of all, that the body and the spirit are really simply different manifestations of the same energy. It is simply a projection of the soul in material form, in a sense. Not that your soul has arms and legs, as it needs none; but it is a projection of an idea, projection of consciousness. Now, one of the situations -- which you call problems -- that many of your individuals create within their body, in disease, is simply that they consider the physical form to be separate and less than the spiritual form. And as such, your body very obediently becomes less. When you understand yourself as an integrated being, and that spirit and body are one and the same idea, simply from different perspectives, then your body will reflect the absolute perfection of that spirit and never be dis-eased. Question. Q: When you say, "dis-eased" are you saying that in the sense of sickness? B: Yes. Dis-ease is all that disease really is. Question. Q: I have a client of mine who has a dis-ease of being very allergic. She is allergic to everything -- almost everything -- and she has to taste food. I'll make sprouts for her, or I'll bring her some food and she tastes it and she has a reaction to it; it makes her sick. What can I do to help this person? B: All right. First of all allow me to say a few things. Realize that many individuals have chosen certain diseases, and will remain within those diseases for the entirety of their physical life, because it will for them express an idea which they are wishing to learn, to fulfill a viewpoint about themselves. Therefore, they will never allow themselves to rid themselves of their disease. It will be all right. I will say, however, that you may find that, for the most part, it will be a reflection of having bought into certain belief systems when those individuals were within their childhood state. And bought into ideas and beliefs which allow them now to view themselves as being very fragile, being tossed around by the wind, hither and yon, to and fro, as you say. And needing to be, I'll say, sympathized. Now realize that though we share many ideas with you, one idea, which we do not believe in, is the idea of sympathy. To us that is the most destructive thing we can do for you. We choose to simply allow you to be expressing a portion of your overall consciousness, and allow ourselves to send you the vibration that you can, if you wish, change your belief. Give yourself choice, not remain focused in the disease by reinforcing that disease with the energy of sympathy. Q: Mhmm. Right. B: Therefore, the first step will be to become unsympathetic. Now, you will find that many of your individuals will consider this to be emotionally cold. Q: I believe that. I believe that no sympathy should be given, because then they would enforce that sickness. B: All right. Rather you may simply express creative compassion for those individuals. Allow them to feel their own creative compassion for themselves. Allow them to realize that they can achieve whatever they need to achieve by allowing themselves a fuller sense of self. By realizing that when they believe themselves to be less than the elements of nature around them, separate from the elements of nature, less worthy of existence than nature itself has decreed that you should be, then their body will react that way. Q: Right. B: Do you follow me? Q: Yes, definitely. Question. Q: Does that have to do with weight? Overweight? B: In a sense. Q: What else? Can you go on a little bit about that? B: You will find that many individuals will simply, rather than doing, they will wait. Do you follow the analogy? Q: I'm mulling it around. B: All right. Don't wait too long. Q: Because I had put it on - like, in a month, I put on 20 pounds - and haven't been able to take it off. B: Because you are trying to? Q: Well, I bad a physical problem; I've been working on getting a physical problem... B: A physical what? Q: Kidney -- my liver. B: A physical what? Q: Problem. B: What? Q: Situation. B: Thank you. Realize that if you allow yourself to really feel the change in that vocabulary, you will feel the change in the vibration, which the word symbolizes. If you allow yourself to feel the change in vibration, you will allow yourself to become that vibration. Not a problem. "Problem. A situation. Oh, situation! An experience. Experience is doing, doing, doing. Therefore, I will do something else." Once again, realize that 'tis to a degree -- although there may be reasons for it in terms of your overall understanding of what you feel you should teach yourself about yourself in your lifetime -- for the most part, I will say, 'tis simply that you can show yourself that all you need is to be willing to live. You do not need to wait to do anything. You may simply do whatever you will; everything is valid. Realize that what excites you the most is the most valid thing you can do. And when you are very excited, and always in motion, you will do very little "waiting." As a matter of fact, you will be quite weightless (wait-less). Q: Thank you very much. B: Thank you.
