*Re-Creating Yourself* We would like to begin this transmission with the following notion: First, we would like to begin with a subject matter that to some degree we have discussed before, but we would now like to take a different approach. And that is the idea, which of course you have heard from many different sources, that living in the present is what it's all about. Being in the NOW. And we have discussed many different ways of learning how to do that, so that in doing that you can understand the power that is inherent in living in the present, the power that is inherent for you to allow your lives to be created in the manner that you desire. We have, from time to time, talked about the notion that getting in touch with this concept of living in the NOW, from one point of view, is that you can allow yourselves to begin, in a sense, to detach from anything you have ever been from your so-called past. Now, we do not mean that you go into denial, we do not mean that you bury the idea, we do not mean that you do not allow yourself to maintain awareness of other experiences that you can draw upon, to give you knowledge and information that you can use to determine who it is you want to be now... we're not talking about losing your memory. But the idea of detaching from your past, as a technique, as a state of being, can serve you to more clearly and effortlessly learn to define yourself in the present. Without allowing certain concepts or connections to the past clutter your ability to do so - in that many of you have been brought up thinking that certain past events control your ability to make decisions now. And this is not the case. Nothing from the past influences you AT ALL. You decide who you are at any given moment, TOTALLY from the present. In deciding who you are, you may choose for one reason or another, from one assumption or another, from one definition or another, from one belief or another, to make a connection to the past, to assume that there might be some kind of inertia or momentum or idea or experience, that holds you or keeps you from doing something that you want to do in the present. That assumption, that connection, that feeling, is being created not from the past, but from the present. And is simply based upon your understanding of what it is possible to do, of what definitions you can create yourself to be. And the limitations that you buy into are what allows you to keep assuming that your past is what controls your ability to be what you want to be in the present - and this is not the case. Therefore, to expand upon this notion of detaching from the idea of the past in a negative way, so that it does not limit you in a non-creative way, we would now like to reinforce the concept that you are a personality construct. Yes, you are a spirit. Yes, you are a soul... and that is, in a sense, an Eternal and Infinite thing. And the soul that you are, the consciousness that you are is always, in a sense, the same consciousness. The same identity knows Itself as Itself, forever and ever. However, in projecting itself into physical materiality, it creates a personality mask or a construct. What you call your physical "persona", to represent itself by. To experience one unique point of view, from time to time throughout the idea of a physical life. This personality construct therefore is, in a sense, artificial. And thus as you change your notion of yourself, as you grow, as you learn, as you create, as you experience, you will literally change that personality construct a number of times. Maybe even thousands, maybe even millions of times, through the course of any physiological lifetime on Earth. As such, you must understand, there is a very important distinction you can make about what you're doing in these changes, because it really isn't that you are the same person making a change in the person to become different. You are the same soul, the same consciousness... yes, making a change OF PERSON to experience a different idea... a new idea, a new experience. But the person you are from moment to moment, no matter how you think you look in the mirror from moment to moment - even though you may think you look the same as you did a moment ago - every change you make, every experience you have, every thought that goes through you, literally LITERALLY... LITERALLY... LITERALLY... changes you as a person. You are not the same person you were a moment ago. And in fact, let us now take it a step further: even saying you were not the same person you were a moment ago, is to some degree misleading, because the idea really is that as the Soul creates a new persona for the next moment of experience, that person, the new person reflective of the new moment, is a new person IN TOTALITY. And has no history... no history whatsoever! None! Zero! Nada! Zip! NO HISTORY WHATSOEVER! Every single moment you are totally and absolutely free to define the you that you are as a personality. It has no history. Therefore, no persona in any given moment, is, in any way, shape or form, TRULY limited by any other persona that was previously created by the consciousness. It is not the same person changing a little bit; it is a different person that is created moment... to moment... to moment... to moment. TOTALLY... UTTERLY... ABSOLUTELY... YOU HAVE NO HISTORY. When you understand this as a State Of Awareness, you can then draw upon a number of experiences that you might call your Past Self, but then you begin to realize that it is not so much your "past", as it is simply other persons, other people connected to the same soul, perhaps part of the same consciousness experience. But they are OTHER PEOPLE, and you don't have to, in any way shape or form, feel limited by the experiences of those 'Other People', because they are distinct and discretely unique individuals, apart from whomever you decide you are at this given moment. And when you really understand this, it will free you up in amazing ways, to really know nothing holds you back, that what you decide you are at any given moment, will then be the case. And as you know this and as you behave as if you know this, you will see your physiological reality start to reflect to you the certainty of that freedom, to such an amazing degree of synchronicity and magical creativity and creation, that you will finally understand what it means to be made in the Image of Creation. That you literally are, every moment, a facet... a face, a point of view of Creation. So remember, when you start thinking about the idea that your past is holding you back, remember, you... the You, you are right now... at every moment, HAS NO HISTORY. And if you make that connection, then it's a CHOICE you are making, as the person you are... FROM THE PRESENT. Ask yourself why you would want to do that, if it seems to be something that's limiting you. Because as soon as you understand that, then you're not motivated to make that bridge, to make that link... to make that connection to another person who has nothing to do with you, even though you used to call that your Past Self. You will no longer, in any way, shape or form, feel trapped by anything that that person experienced, because you are unique. You are new; you are whoever you say you are, right here and right now for the very first time in Creation.
