                           Film Strip Analogy


Q:  When you were giving your opening introduction remarks, you were
talking about thousands of years of negativity...

B:  Yes.

Q:  ... then you speak about, like decades...or three, thirty years in the
future, and yet all time is simultaneous...so how does that...?

B:  We are using your terminology so you understand us clearly.  Yes, we
know that all lives and all realities and all dimensions exist right now,
but that to some degree, in our conversations with you would be confusing.
So we use your colloquial vernacular of talking in time sequences, because
all of you are still very adhered to the clock, and when we say, "twenty
years from now," you understand what we mean. To say, "it's all going on
right now," is all very well and good, but that does not tell you how it
fit's into the time track you have created, understand?  You will still be
physiological beings for quite some time, and you will still fall under the
auspices of a time track to some degree, even though now you may be
loosening up that time track, and realizing that all things actually happen
at once.  You will still, as long as you are physical to some degree, be
subject to the idea, the notion, to some degree, of relative outplay of
time.  So we simply speak in the colloquial terminology so you will
understand us most clearly -- in terms of how what we are talking about
fits into your understanding of time.  Does this make sense?

Q:  Kind of.

B:  Kind Of!  There is nothing mysterious about it.  The idea simply is
that in your dimension, you label things in linear time.

Q:  Right.

B:  So we use your conventional terminology so as to not be too confusing.

Q:  Okay, but how does "thousands of years of negativity," translate to
"all time is simultaneously...?  " I mean it's...

B:  All right, all right.  Once again, do you remember what we have called
the film analogy?  The idea, what you call your film upon your planet -- if
you take a strip of your film, it has many different frames, yes?

Q:  Yes.

B:  The idea is, that each and every one of those frames can be a different
moment in time, a different year, a different life, a different century, it
doesn't matter what you label it.  Sufficient to say, that each frame
represents a calculated bit of time and one frame follows another, you see
them all laid out in succession.  You say, this is the beginning, you
arbitrarily say, this is the middle, and you arbitrarily say, that's the
end, right there -- this is a cycle.  Let's say, for the sake of this
discussion that that film strip represents the thousands of years of
negativity, all right?

Q:  Okay.

B:  Now, that is the physical analogy of awareness.  Everything is
compartmentalized into segregated frames, ONE THING AT A TIME, however...

Q:  I understand that part.

B:  All right, however...now you, the Being, the true non physical,
consciousness entity awareness Being that you are, the total Soul that you
are, knowing that the physical reality is only one aspect of the total Soul
that you are -- this total Being is now analogous to what you would call
the projectionist LOOKING AT the strip of film.  Looking from above with an
expanded point of view, down onto this nice little flat piece of film, with
all of its frames nice and neat and orderly, one after another.  Now, while
you project your consciousness into the film, you only experience reality
one frame at a time, but as soon as you step back, shall we say, rise above
physical reality, and adopt the point of view of the projectionist -- well,
the projectionist looking down on the strip of film, sees all the frames at
once.  They're all simultaneous, they're all right there, the whole
film...the beginning of the film, the middle of the film, the end of the
film is all, as you say," in the can," at once...the whole film is there.


The projectionist can look at the film backwards, can look at the film
front wards, can start in the middle and go in both directions.  To the
projectionist's point of view, it doesn't matter, because all the frames
are laid out in front of the projectionist, all simultaneously.  But for
the " beings," the "characters," inhabiting the frames of the film, they
only perceive the story one frame at a time, in a particular linear
direction.  This is the analogy of physical reality and non-physical
reality.  Non physical reality, where you exist as a total Being, has the
point of view of the projectionist.  When you project an aspect of your
consciousness into physical reality, it is like becoming one of the
characters in the film who can only understand the story, one frame at a
time, understand?

Q:  Okay.

B:   So, the projectionist knows that not only all these frames are going
on at the same time, but there are also many other cans of film on the
rack, many other lives, many other dimensions -- everything is there all at
once.  And you can review at your leisure, anyone, in any order you wish
to.  It is totally out of sequence, you don't have to see anything in any
kind of sequence at all.  But as long as you are in the film, to make sense
in that particular format, you must run it in a particular way.  Does this
make some sense?

Q:  Yes.

B:  Therefore, we know that everything is simultaneous, all the lives are
there all at once.  But in terms of applying what we are talking about in
terms of events with you, we apply the terminology to the film strip
itself, because you are living in the strip of film, as the consciousness
that is now talking to us, in this way. We are responding to the character
in the film.
