*Growth and the Soul's Purpose* Q: Good evening, my name is Joey... and if I can just get my tape in here and get it started... okay. Good evening. My name is Joey. B: You said that already. Q: I just wanted to put in on tape. B: Good evening, Joey. Q: Thank you for your greeting. I really needed that because I've spent a great deal of my life trying to embarrass some of the people I have liked the most. I appreciate you embarrassing me in front of all these lovely people. B: Thank you, but I did not embarrass you. Q: Oh. B: You chose to be embarrassed. Q: Yeah. Right again. B: Not right. Just me. Q: Just you. Just you. Just me. Okay. I have a multitude of relatively unimportant questions. B: What? Unimportant? Q: All right... I'll... okay. I would like a chance... B: All right. Not important, but to you significant. Q: Yes. B: Since you are creating them. Q: This is true. I suppose and believe, as well as realize, that within me lies the power to regenerate my entire body. B: Yes. Q: I'd like to regenerate the internal portions of my mouth, such as some teeth that might... that could be or should be re-grown. B: What have you learned from them being in the state that they are in? Q: I've learned that the... coming into this life I needed something to afflict me in order to overcome it. B: You have all done that, you know. (AUD: Amen, and other comments) Q: And what I chose was my teeth. B: All right. Why that? Q: Why? B: Yes. Why? Q: Because I could see them every day when I looked in the mirror. B: Very good, all right. Q: And I would always know that I had not made the grade. That I... B: Make the grade? Q: Personal realization. B: All right. Q: You know, godliness? B: If you say so. Q: I say so. B: What you mean... Q: Yes. B: ... in my perception, anyway... Q: Yeah. B: ... is that you're not willing to believe you already are the grade. The grade is nothing you have to achieve. Perfection is not something you strive for. Perfection is what you are. You will always grow, but everything you do is a perfect manifestation of the thing you are doing. Thus, everything you do is perfect. Q: That's true. B: Therefore, what you are now attempting, so to speak, to create is not an achievement, but the recognition of that which you already are. Q: Exactly. B: All right. Then remember... Q: Remember what? B: Who you are. You are All That Is. You are the creator. You have created the idea of giving yourself this symbol. Q: Uhh. B: Now, if you know that it has already served its purpose... Q: Yes. B: ... let it go. Do not put the expectation now that it must change in ways you think it should change; because, obviously, if it is still there, it is still serving you somehow. Perhaps, only to remind you that you do not have to do anything to achieve the state that will allow them to, in your terms, correct themselves; but simply to recognize that you are already that state, and allow them to reflect what you are already willing to be. Not be, someday. Be now. Q: I see. And yet, well... well, my personal point of view is that my teeth are my very closest friends. You know, they've been feeding me for a very long time. They've been chewing my food, you know? B: Are they more important than any other part of your body? Q: They are not less important than any other part of my body. B: No, they are not; but are they more important? Q: Yeah. B: Well then, why are you singling them out and putting them in the embarrassing spotlight? (AUD: laughs) Q: Because I put them in the embarrassing spotlight first. B: So? Q: It's my responsibility and my duty now to care for them. They're served me so well and now I would like to rehabilitate them. B: All right. But the message coming from them to you is that they are already cared for, only you don't know it. Q: I see. B: You are already caring for them. Now they wish to return the favor, in the sense of letting you know that you don't have to worry about them. You and them will take care of themselves. Q: Uhh. B: Therefore, lighten up. If you put them in the spotlight, they understand it as being expected to perform, and that expectation is what gives them stage fright. They do not change. Q: I see. B: You are narrowing your focus upon them. Ease your focus back out to contain the totality of yourself. Not just physically, but all of you. Q: I see. B: Then, they will say: "Phew! (AUD: laughs) Now we can change. He is not putting so much responsibility on us. He has taken it back for himself." Q: I think that I should keep my mouth shut in public. That's a jest. B: All right. Q: I see. I understand what you say, and... B: All right. Now, understand this as well. In terms of the tools of your imagination that you create for yourself to come up with whatever you think you need, to allow yourself to do this transformation, to allow the transformation to occur, one idea can be this: your body is an energy system. You follow me? Q: Yes. B: It is /one/ thing, one energy system. If you can view your body as one energy system... Q: Uhh. B: ... you will sense the patterns of flow. Now, the idea of putting a focus on one specific portion of your body creates a divergence of that flow, and does not allow it to partake of the, I'll say, natural flow of the energy system. You are damming it up, causing a backwash, in that sense, by the focusing on any one point. Therefore, the idea of containing the totality of yourself is to contain the idea that you are, at any given point, the perfect representation of the idea you are willing to be. Thus, then, you simply do not have to perform. They do not have to perform. You can simply determine what reality you are. And the reality of allowing everything in your physical form to be what it "should be" is to simply live all of yourself when you live. Not just yourself, and then the rest of yourself will be able to hold hands with your teeth again. Q: I see. Thank you. I've done that. As you were telling me I understood that, and I've done that. B: All right now, but remove the expectation of what /should/ happen. Then you will allow the transformation to take place. Recognize, simply, that if your physical reality has not transformed, it is still serving a purpose, and see what purpose it is serving. Now, recognize also, that your interactions, as you say, opening your mouth in public, and allowing individuals to interact on this idea of your focus with your teeth, can be one reason for why you are maintaining it. For then that focus is of service to them, because they are learning something about what you are doing. Therefore, many times, individuals will keep what they call a disease for the purpose of that being a reflection that other individuals can relate to, and be served by. You follow me? Q: Yes. B: Now, if you know that you can serve the same propose without the disease, then you will not need the disease. If you get in touch with the fact that the reason for why it is still there is serving a purpose, you will let yourself see what that purpose is, and then you can choose another way to fulfill the purpose. Follow me? Q: Yes sir, that is correct. That is correct. I see that. I just need to find out what the purpose is... B: What do you imagine it to be? Extend this idea beyond yourself, for you are being of service by being here. Therefore, purposes can be simply what you find other individuals relating to you about this idea. I'll suggest this: during what you call your break-time, discuss with whoever is willing to discuss with you what they imagine this discussion from you has done for them. Then you night recognize what one of those purposes is, and begin to collect more and more purposes that are being done with different individuals from you as a device. Which will then give you the general idea of how deeply connected you actually are in everything that you do. What you do - what any individual does - is never isolated to that individual alone. When you search for a reason, a purpose - for why this, why that - many times you only think that it has to do with your immediate understanding of yourself, rather than understandings of your extensions of yourself that you can find reflected in other individuals; because you are all other individuals and all other individuals are you. Q: That is true. I've known that for a long time. B: All right. All you need to do is act on that knowledge... Q: Uhh. B: ... rather than just simply keep the knowledge to yourself. Q: Well, my purpose in having bad teeth was so that if I could overcome my own, I could also overcome theirs as well... B: You cannot overcome theirs. Q: ... in an interaction with their co-operation. B: All right. Q: ... with their permission? B: All right. Then act upon this. If you know that is the purpose, you do not have to wait. Q: Right. B: You see, that is an expectation. You are waiting for a physical sign before you will be willing to act on the knowledge of the purpose. You're saying: "Well, they're not going to believe me if my teeth are not the way they should be." Q: Uhh. B: But, who says? You can find a way to explain the idea and, by acting that out, you may find that with each individual you interact with, one more tooth will be all right. (AUD: laughs). Q: I see. I now understand the exact, to my belief, to my estimation, the exact reason. It has nothing to do with my teeth; it really is actually the growth of my soul, in the sense of... B: It always is, yes. Q: ... what might be called loving interaction with, shall I say, all those that I know, within and without of this star system. B: All right, food for thought. Q: Yes. (AUD: laughs) That I needed an affliction, in a sense, only to overcome that - not the affliction itself - but to stimulate the growth of my soul. B: Yes. And thus, by action, since you are physical, acting on that knowledge - that is what will stimulate the reflection of the growth in the physiological form, that reflects the growth you are willing to act out in your soul. Acting that growth out first is what causes the physical reality to react to you. Q: I see. And my statement is that what you're saying is: love advances one's growth and lack of love retards it, in the physical as well as the spiritual. B: In a sense, yes. Q: Is there something I can do to open my pituitary gland - to increase the power of my brain? B: You are using, and everyone is using, one hundred percent of your brain. You are using it in exactly the ways you need to. Recognize that although your science has said you are only using a fraction, the idea that you are only using a fraction comes from some other part that they do not recognize that you are using. Q: Oh. B: You are using it all. You are complete in exactly the way you need to be complete. You can change the idea of yourself. Simply that, again, the willingness to act, the willingness to change the idea of yourself by acting, will always allow everything in your physical reality to reflect that idea. Now, understand this: your physiological brain does physiologically change with every thought you have. Every thought. You understand? Q: Yes. B: Therefore, the thought of yourself as you are willing to be will put the brain into the pattern to reflect that - and if increase into those glands is necessary, it will be there. If it is not there at the time, it is not necessary for what you are doing. Thus, at any time, you are always complete for what you are doing. You follow me? Q: Yes. B: Act like more of yourself, and more of yourself will be there - physically and spiritually. Q: I see. Thank you sir. B: One moment. Is it brief? Q: My question is brief. B: All right. Q: I'm not clear how to put together the idea of a person or state of the world being perfect, with the idea that there's a process going on toward a different state. In other words, there seems to be a transformation of Earth going on. B: Yes. Q: There's an on-going process that seems to be of value placed on regaining a fuller perception of our own nature; but if... so how do... I'm having difficulty putting those two ideas together. The fact that there's a different state from the one we have, toward which we are going... B: Yes. Q: ... and at the same time we're perfect now. B: Yes. Q: ... if we are perfect now, why is there any impetus to change? B: As I said, there is growth; but at each stage of growth, you are still perfect, in the stage you are at. The stage you are at is a perfect representation of that stage of growth. You follow me? Q: I follow you. Does that mean that there are degrees of perfection? B: No. There may be degrees of growth. But all is perfect for what it is. It is like saying, are there degrees of infinity? There is one infinity. There is one perfection. There is one All That Is. All the growth that takes place within it is still perfect for whatever it is doing, because it represents one of the ways All That Is has of creating itself to be perfect in that idea. Follow that? Q: I think so. So, for example, we're.... B: Simply remove the idea of judgment and invalidation from any experience, and you will understand that no matter who creates and what they create, the experience they have created, for the idea they hold themselves to be, is a perfect reflection of what they think they are. Q: So the gentleman who was concerned about the war in Afghanistan... B: Yes. Q: It is a perfect representation of that idea... is that what you are saying? B: Yes. And it is manifested perfectly, and therefore, it is equal to every other idea he could choose to be. And, if you know all sides are equally perfect, all ideas are equal, then it is easy to make a choice as to which one you prefer to live - because you will not have to fight something that is more powerful than you - nor reach down for something that is less than you. You do not have to expend effort, because all choices will be on the same level. If you know all choices are perfect, then it is not a matter of judgment of the choices you do not choose, it is simply a matter of preferring what you do choose, and choosing what you prefer. And knowing that that represents the idea, the perfect idea, you have chosen to do. Q: What sorts of things lead to preference of one idea over another? B: The idea of whom you are. Anything. It is your choice. You are the creator. You tell me. You make it up. What do you prefer at any given moment? That is your reality. That is the idea of your selection. You are the creator. Understand what it means to be the creator. You can do anything; therefore, you do - because you can. Q: Okay. B: Does that clarify the idea? Q: It helps. Thank you. B: All right. You may all take a short break. AUD: Several voices calling out at once... B: You! Q: If I personally get involved in the war in Afghanistan by going to Washington D.C., can you give me some advice on the situation in Afghanistan and how to resolve it? B: How to resolve it? Q: With the least amount of bloodshed, let me put it that way, how to end the war, or win the war with the least amount of bloodshed. B: First of all transform out of the idea that war exists in your reality at all. Q: Yeah, and then after doing that I still see a news report that there is still a war in Afghanistan... B: Then you have not done it. Now, understand this: you have agreed to perceive the idea of war in your society; but for you - you, yourself, okay? - you are not experiencing the idea of war in your life physically. Now, you have agreed, simply, to perceive that it exists for other individuals. Now, if you wish to assist - to be of help, of service in this way - then simply act like the being for whom war does not exist in your reality, regardless of whether you see it or not. Act like you know that war can transform into something else - into peace. Q: And if I do that then, instantaneously, it will not be perceived by others? B: It will, I'll say... it can be instantaneous. It can be; but it will depend upon the degree to which you are willing to believe that. Now, understand, again, you have made a co-agreement with many individuals, and it will not serve them, necessarily, in the way you want to serve them, if all of a sudden you, instantaneously, do not perceive war at all. All right. That is all right too; but then you will go on about your business, never perceiving that war exists, and then you will not be able to serve those that still perceive it does exist in the way you have chosen to help them. So you will hold on to the idea, for now, that everyone is not going to instantaneously perceive that war does not exist. But by acting that way for yourself, you will be granting them the opportunity to choose to instantaneously not perceive war. And it is that offering that does the most help, the offering, in and of itself. And the offering is without expectation that they have to take it in any certain way, shape, or form, for you to still know in your heart of hearts that, for you, war is not a reality. Q: You're saying then, without interaction with these other individuals... B: Oh, it is interaction, and you can have interaction; but understand that when you form interaction, you will be forming interaction with the you that does not contain the idea of war. Then they will see in you that that is possible. Q: Oh, I see. Okay. Be a role model for them. B: Yes. Q: I've have another question to ask you too... I'd like to know who is using psyonic tracers and trackers on this planet? Are there such things being used in the third density? B: Sort of. Q: What about the fourth and fifth density? Are there psyonic weapons and shields, trackers? B: Not weapons. Not shields. In this way, recognize that that idea, to some extent, can exist in different civilizations as per the play, the scenario they are working out. Understand this: in your third density... all right, I'll put it pragmatically, there is so little understanding of what psychic functioning is that they think that they can invent something like psyonic shields, but it is a direct misunderstanding of everything that is going on. The idea of using psychic abilities for what you call negative purposes, completely and utterly cancels those abilities. Q: What abut a psyonic box being used to create realities, using technology, though? What is the influence? B: There is no such thing as influence unless there are individuals who choose to believe they can be influenced. Now, there are individuals who choose to believe that and thus, if they attract to themselves a group of individuals who build something that symbolically represents those individuals' ability to influence someone else who is willing to be influenced, then there will be a complete agreement and a total enactment of what they both have agreed to believe. But it has no power outside of that reality to someone who does not contain that belief system. Q: Could the masses or the mass consciousness have agreed to that on a subconscious level somewhere? B: On a subconscious level, something like that has been agreed to. However, the rate at which that belief is changing is such that it will be a fleeting effect. Q: I see, it's phasing out, then? B: Yes. Q: Okay. Good enough. Thank you. B: Thank you!
