*Awakening Each Other* Q: Yes, I have a question. B: All right. Q: I had an experience a couple of years back that I want to forget. Um... B: Want to forget? Why? Q: Well, I guess because of the mystery. B: Mystery! So you are saying that you have been taught to believe that there are experiences that can happen in your life that can in no way serve any useful purpose to you? Q: No, I think it does. That's why I'm asking you about it, because I want more understanding. B: All right. Then you do not want to forget it. Q: Oh, that's what I meant. I won't forget it. B: All right. Q: I met someone for a very brief moment. And when I saw this person walk up, or walk down the street towards me... B: Up or down, yes. Q: ... I felt as if I exteriorized from my body. Now, I'm not sure if that's what happened. All I know is I felt really good, and I never felt that good in my life. B: All right. Do you know this individual now? Q: No, I don't. B: All right. What did you notice about the individual? Q: All I know is he was very familiar -- or something. Something about it: I made such connection. I felt really complete. B: Did you just watch the individual go on their way? Q: Yeah, kind of. Well actuality, I was meeting a friend, and he was a friend of a friend kind of thing. So I just got introduced to him. B: All right. Q: And that's about it. We talked just a little bit. B: All right. What did you learn about yourself in that communication? Q: Well, I felt as if he was -- I feel stupid saying this, but... B: Why? Q: Well, l felt as if he was some type of teacher or something. I felt... B: Yes, but both of you are. You can only experience in someone else what you also contain. What you are being shown is your own masterhood. Q: So do you think I decided in a prior lifetime or something... B: Yes. Q: ... this to mean something strong to me? B: Yes. Q: But I don't know what it was. B: It is a signal; it is a reflection. It is as opportunity to allow yourself to awaken to your own self-empowerment. You have been together before. The agreement was actually made -- not in a prior lifetime physically, but in between the lives. Q: And what was the agreement? B: To see a reflection that would allow you to begin to awaken to your own self-empowerment. Q: Because I felt like I blew something. I should have done something... B: There are no shoulds. If you feel now that you desire to have acted in a different way than you did then, that is a part of the lesson. To allow you to know that, if and when such an occurrence occurs again, you will act differently. You will now choose to behave in a different way. That is what you can learn from the lesson. Bit by bit, at whatever rate you are comfortable in learning this, you will be given reflections by other individuals and other situations and circumstances in your life, as per the agreements you have made to be shown these things, to reflect these things about yourself back to you. Bit by bit you will learn what you desire to learn, at whatever rate you are comfortable in learning it. But just because it may be slower now than you think you ought to have been, recognize that /then/, what you did was perfect for the /you/ you were then. What you will do /now/ will be perfect for the /you/ you are now, and you have no business comparing the two. You follow me? Q: Yes, I definitely do. B: Yes. So do not berate yourself, invalidate yourself, or pass dispersions of guilt and judgment upon yourself. For that only keeps you from learning what it is you can learn from the situation in a positive way. Understand it occurred for a reason. And whether you had an analytical understanding of what that reason was or not is not really important, as long as you use the essence of the idea and create the changes within your behavioral structure that are indicative of what you absorbed from that conversation and interaction. For there will be other individuals as well, that you have made agreements with, that will reflect certain things to you. But again, in no way do you ever have to feel that you are on the lower end of this exchange. You are a teacher as well. All of you are teachers and learners. And that is why we say "Sharing." For you are all equal sharers. You each have something to reflect to the other. You are all mirrors. So if you see something, and you allow that to make a change within you, then simply integrate that within you, and the next time you will see a different reflection, and learn something more -- and more and more and more, until you remember who you are, and express that memory. Then you will be, in your own right, the full reflection of what you are taking them to be. And you will also have the same impact on other individuals. Q: Okay. Thank you. B: Does that assist you? Q: Mhmm. B: Thank you very much. Shine brightly. Sharing!
