Accepting Who and Where You Are Q: My needs are tearing me apart against my preferences. There are physical needs to do things... I tend to run ahead, run away from those things. I understand what you're saying, as in the action of go ahead and do the exciting things and feel the ecstasy, etc.. But my needs -- I feel grounded, I feel... B: Why do you think they are needs? Q: Well, I tend to try to ignore them. That's why... B: Tend to try? Does that mean try to try? Q: I try to try to ignore them. B: Who says you have to ignore anything? Ignoring things is what allows them to become overwhelming. Q: Okay. Let me describe, in a way... like, I don't really want to work to make a living -- to be in a physical body, to be in physical time... B: Now, one moment. You are a physical body in physical time, so you can allow one thing to be obvious, if you are where you are, you obviously chose to do so. Therefore, first of all and fundamentally, allow yourself to recognize, as long as you remain physical, you obviously still think there is a reason for it. The second, the microsecond, you truly no longer believe you have a purpose in being physical, you won't be. So as long as you continue to remain so, take it for granted that you think you need to be so for some reason. Q: Well... okay, thank you for that. The feeling I get... I feel as though the awareness that when I'm here in the physical body, this one here... I feel in pain. I feel like I'm more of an energy unit or something -- more of a -- just another space; I feel I am another space. B: You are your own space and your own time. Q: It doesn't fit... okay. It doesn't fit here... I don 't feel like I fit, and I realize... B: We understand what you are saying; but again, by definition, if you truly didn't fit, you wouldn't be here. So take it for granted that you obviously do fit, otherwise you would be somewhere else. Q: Yeah. Okay. I appreciate that, and... B: The idea of fitting, however, doesn't have to mean conforming. Q: Oh, yeah. I acknowledge that. I feel as though I'm attenuating -- to end on a brighter note --I feel like as though I'm attenuating, like something... like you say, accelerating. B: Yes. Q: l'm getting toward the last little upward spiral -- the little thing -- before I'm no longer involved in that dichotomy of myself. B: All right. But do recognize that the paradox of the situation is, in order to experience what you are talking about, the first thing you need to do is become fully involved where you are, in the moment. By being in the now moment, where you are, is when you connect to all that you possibly can become -- and then become it. Q: I'll improve on that. B: You will simply be different. Q: Thank you. One moment... Q2: I had a realization about that concept of the idea of complete willingness to be an earth person. B: Yes. Q: And many of us, I know -- that down through the years -- have been unwilling... have an awareness of past and future, other planets, other civilizations... B: Yes, yes, yes. Q: ...and having the unwillingness to be -- and since we are here, we very much are earthmen... B: (In a female voice: and women. Much laughter.) Q: That's why l said earth person the first time. And it's a complete willingness to contact the moment. And this is something I'm working on. B: Yes! For this is just as valid as anywhere else you have ever been, or could ever be. Q: Exactly. B: If it isn't, then you invalidate everything else you have ever done as well, for they are all here now. Thank you! Q: Thank you.
