*Perceiving the Essence* Q: Hello. B: Good day. Q: As an artist, drawing people has never been easy for me. Is this a laziness on my behalf not to push something that was not easy, or something from a past dream - life? B: To some degree, it is a representation of not wanting to be too honest about what you see. Because you can paint "windows," and other individuals, on seeing them, in seeing how you have portrayed them, will learn much about themselves. You are simply, perhaps, a little bit afraid that in painting such a clear picture they will see things they do not want to see, and blame you for that. That is the only thing that makes it difficult. See all beings for the beauty that they are, in every aspect, and you will grant yourself the type of focus that will allow you to /channel/ the image very cleanly, very smoothly, very easily. We have a suggestion for you, perhaps something that can allow you to get into the habit of channeling the drawing, rather than placing your analyzation in the way and allowing it to be difficult. Q: Yes. B: Take a piece of paper. Place a dot on one side, and a dot on the other side. All right? Q: Yes. B: Take your pencil and place it on the first dot and draw a line to the second dot, /watching/ the line as you go. Perhaps, if you wish, glancing at the dot now and then, and then going back to the line, and see how it feels to draw that line, to get it to go from one point to the other point. Then after you do that, take two more dots on another piece of paper, in the same position. Place your pencil on the first dot, and then simply look at the second dot and draw a line. See how much easier that is. Q: Okay. B: Instead of watching the line, watch where you're going. Your hand will automatically go where it needs to. Q: Very good. B: Allow yourself this trust, this willingness, and then you will begin to look at the images of people differently. And you will allow yourself to see the essence of what they are, and your hand will simply draw what you really see. Q: Thank you, that is very, very helpful. B: Thank you. Q2: I have a curiosity question. B: All right. Q: Sometimes when I meet people energy comes out of their eyes into me. B: Yes. Q: It's only with certain people, and I was wondering if that was a way of recognizing other pieces of the self that you are, so to speak? B: Yes, that is one way. It is also a way of recognizing individuals you have made agreements with, and that you have interacted with very closely, that you have made contracts with, and that you have had experiences with before. Q: Right. B: You are recognizing the flow, the lines of the web of the matrix, the pearls in the net. Q: When I walk in other bodies on other worlds, and things like that... B: Yes. Q: ... and things speed up and I tend to lift up, these things just kind of happen to me. How can I /cause/ them to happen? B: By continuing to live the life you know you are. Because all of those things occur in the proper place and timing to add to the understanding, and add to the acceleration, and add to the energy of the person you are /here/. And which also gives an opportunity for some of those other lives to interact and feel the bleed-through and the blending of what you are doing here as well. Do not forget: it is not a one-way street. There is very much merit in those lives feeling what they feel from you, as much as there is in you feeling what you feel from them. Q: I didn't assume it's a one-way street - it's too real. B: Yes. Q: Thank you. B: Thank you very much for walking all the roads, and now allowing them all to be the same road. Sharing!
