We had the room setup as usual.
Liz did the opening prayer at 8.35pm, turned out the light
and put the music on.
I didn’t lose consciousness this week as I recall hearing
each tune but I still seemed to be in an altered state.
About 15 minutes after the start Liz reported cotton wool
like shapes moving around the room.
50 minutes after the start I began to be controlled.
Liz turned off the music and welcomed the communication as
it settled in…
Liz… ‘Welcome friend’
‘Welcome, good evening
to you’
Liz… ‘Good evening to
you’
‘To welcome, a new
time to speak again with you, we always look forward to our opportunities in
coming forward and speaking’
Liz… ‘So do we’
‘There is so much that
we wish to bring through to you each week, we have a long list of subjects to
cover, to break apart and give to you those points of interest which will give
you that trigger which will make you think, which will make you consider other
possibilities that are available to you. There are stories to be told and as we
draw closer we settle on a story that will most interest you for we can feel
how you react to each word as it comes through and we know that it will
generate thoughts in your mind, ideas in your mind. We can present pictures to
you as our words are heard for your mind is conditioned to put pictures to what
you hear. You all have the ability to paint for yourself pictures representing
the imagination for it is the imagination that we can most easily work with. We
try to set it in motion; we try to ignite the imagination in all who hear these
words, ignite it in a way that will give to you a platform on which to receive
the words that we give to you for imagination can be built upon. Once the
imagination has been stirred it will branch out, you will see pictures and
ideas immerging. Some will be from your own mind while others can be of our own
doing. Imagine a key and feel how it allows your mind to explore for you
associate so much with the picture of a key. It can mean so much for you and
that will create new pictures in your mind for your imagination has been
aroused, you are looking into new ideas, you are looking into new
possibilities. Each possibility is compared. See the picture that emerges; see
how the key fits in with that what surrounds, that what supports, that what is
put in place for a key on its own is merely a start. What do you associate with
a key?’
Liz… ‘Opening,
unlocking… A gateway, a doorway into a new understanding, into a secret room’
‘Then allow that
gateway to open, hold it open, what do you feel is becoming a picture in your
mind?’
Liz… ‘It’s a great
space, a garden’
‘Imagine yourself in
that space, venture forth and explore. What are the feelings that come to you
when you are set free in this space?’
Liz… ‘I want to stay
there… A place of potential, nothing seems to be fixed’
‘For you have entered
into a condition, a condition that is unfamiliar yet at the same time you feel
a dim recognition for where you are. You will feel that you have been there
before yet this place holds no time, there are no constraints, nothing is
holding you, you are free to travel, free to expand. You are unaware of the
passage of time. Look up and see the stars for they are not distant they are
within your reach. Reach out and grab hold of a shining star. Hold it in front
of you, feel the energy that that star gives to you. Watch it expand and fill
your vision with light. Become one with that star, allow yourself to shine
bright for you are a part of everything, every thought, every picture that you
can imagine is a part of you. There is nothing that you cannot touch, there is
nothing that you cannot be, there is nothing that you cannot achieve, there is
nothing that you cannot know. When we
observe your world we see the inadequacies of those who walk in a self-created
fog unable to perceive all that is there, unable to reach out to all that
surrounds them. Each person has the ability to do so much more’
Liz… ‘A question I
would like to ask is why a great deal of our pleasure comes from our attachment
to physical objects, to people or objects or other creations like a tree. A
tree trunk is so solid and other people feel solid, other human beings and
animals and the Earth and flowers and grass and trees it’s the sensations, the
actual perception through the senses, forms such a solid and delightful picture
and the sense of touch especially makes things feel solid and real and that a
great deal of our appreciation of the physical and our identification with it
comes from this and the attachments we form are very solid and very real and we
cling to them and to be severed from these attachments, to break these
attachments when people go away, when trees are chopped down, when houses
disappear, when any of these things happen creates great trauma, great sense of
loss and separation but if this is really a very transitory state for us and
not at all what we think, not solid at all, why is it that we’re tricked, our
senses trick us into this illusion of solidity and make us attached?’
‘You have made a
choice, you have sent a portion of what you perceive as yourself, you have made
that decision to immerse yourself in a reality, a physical reality knowing that
you will become not only a part of that reality but you will become overwhelmed
by the reality that you find yourself a part of and it will draw you in, it
will become the prime attention of your focus for you will forget your true
self, you will feel broken from your true self and that one fragment will
reform into what for you is an illusion, an illusion generated by the senses,
the physical senses. A tree will become a tree, a wall will become a wall,
until you can reconnect with that what placed you inside of your physical
world. You will find you will recognise the feelings, you will see a tree as a
feeling for you will take from that tree, you will allow the tree to work on
your feelings and trigger your imagination. Your physical senses are what hold
you to the physical world yet you are also free to explore beyond your physical
world’
Liz… ‘So presumably
while we are in this physical world the logical assumption is that we are here
to explore this physical world’
‘An assumption that
has been made, an assumption that has built up since the moment you opened your
eyes in your physical world, an assumption that has strengthened as you
interacted in your physical world. An assumption that is weakened as you open
your eyes beyond the physical world. You have a choice for there is much
benefit to be had living a life in a physical world reacting only to the
physical surroundings that you have for you can still do much, you can learn
and you can teach. The physical world is a wonderful place to live and to
learn, to put into play your core being, that what drives you, that what
motivates you. You can use that to interact with all that is physical, all that
is solid, all that you grow attached to yet at the same time you all have a
feeling that there is more to life’
Liz… ‘I think that’s
triggered by the fact that the strong attachments we have get broken, we have
to let go of them and that we know that our physical life comes to an end. I
think those facts, they’re like the openings, the open doorways into other
understandings, because that leads to a sense of unsatisfactoriness’
‘You see decay in all
that is presented to you yet a part of you holds onto the understanding of
everlasting life’
Liz… ‘Yes it’s the
feeling that there is something more than just the physical, something goes on
and then of course there are glimpses of these other realities but dreams and
the other realities can seem very hazy, very insecure in comparison with the
solidity of the physical’
‘When you are in a
dream, when you are engaged in the unfolding of a story in a dream, then your
focus has let go of the solid physical and has begun to explore a new way of
interpreting, a new way of seeing, a new way of feeling’
Liz… ‘But much of the
time the dream world or the dreams that I’ve had are very weak and
insubstantial in comparison with the physical. They lack the vitality, they
seem insipid a lot of them in comparison but I guess that’s because my
consciousness isn’t fully focused in that dream reality’
‘It is only focused
when you are taking part in that dream yet when you return, when you awaken to
your physical world you look back on that dream and you will put a new
interpretation on that dream for it is not possible to fully understand the
structure of a dream when viewed from your physical reality’
Liz… ‘The dream world
has the quality of… it’s similar to watching television or films but that they
lack that… I suppose one is an observer whereas when you come back to the
physical reality it’s like you’re completely, just much more real, much more
present, it’s a different quality. If you’ve been watching films and television
they can be very absorbing, fascinating but then you switch off the television
and you step outside into the garden, into the open sky, into the road, into
the street whatever and it has a presence, a dimensionality that the film or
the television doesn’t have’
‘Your physical reality
has a recognisable feel for it is what you are plugged into at this point yet
when you think back to the dreams that you have had you are observing them from
your physical reality, you are not in the dream, you are no longer in that
dream reality. Only when you wake up in your dream can you begin to understand
the conditions of that reality’
Liz… ‘Ah I guess
that’s where lucid dreaming comes in, that experience of a heightened awareness
in dreams when you actually do wake up in a dream’
‘That is what it is
called yes’
Liz… ‘So I suppose by
comparison we can be lucid in our daily life’
‘You are always lucid
in your physical reality but lucidity in a dream reality can be only temporary
and once you have let go of that dream and reconnected with your physical world
then that dream can only be a dream’
Liz… ‘So when we let
go of the physical, when we finally die, when we’re forced to let go of our
incarnation in this physical reality presumably we have a new experience of
lucidity in this more spiritual, this other reality, we wake up in another
reality, is that how it is… or we begin to wake up in another reality since we
haven’t got the physical to return to’
‘You will begin to
remember, you will begin to remember fully the true state, the true state of
mind where you belong and your physical world will then be the dream that will
fade and die. You will become lucid to all that you have achieved, all that you
have earnt for yourself, all that you had once before and all you have achieved
in your physical lifetime. It will combine and you will see in clarity how you
have benefited, how you have added to the greater consciousness’
Liz… ‘From the point
of view of a soul who is in the non-physical reality, in the spirit world, the
spiritual reality, is it as if those other souls who are still immersed in the
physical reality, is it as if they are asleep. The question I’m asking is to
the one who has died but who is now lucid, fully lucid and engaged in the
spiritual reality, does it seem as if those dear ones, those souls to which
it’s connected but who are still living and immersed in the physical reality,
does it seem as if they are asleep?’
‘It seems as if they are
dreaming’
Liz… ‘Yes, they are in
a sleep and dreaming and it’s hard to rouse them’
‘The greater part of
them would seem to be asleep from their point of view yet the greater part is
very much awake. Try not to…’
Liz… ‘Would it be true
to say that the soul that has departed, that is in the afterlife, in the spirit
world is actually part of their greater self and it’s this that makes the
strong connection, the sense of connection?’
‘Try not to separate
these things for you are confusing your thoughts in separating the different
states of mind, of one conscious mind, that one conscious mind which is eager
to explore all possibilities, all states of mind. A physical reality is one way
of exploring, of bringing back information, new information which can be used
to generate creative thought. You see yourself as an individual yet you are a
part of a greater self, a part that has been dipped into a new experience, a
new opportunity for growth’
Liz… ‘It’s very hard
as a limited being, as we perceive ourselves to be a limited being, to
understand the radiance and the creativity of the whole, ‘the all that is’ We
can get glimmerings of it but it’s so beyond our comprehension in our
boundaried realities to understand the ‘All’ even the concept of ‘All’ is
impossible because by the nature of concept there’s a boundary, it has an edge,
it’s contained in something else, our experience in our limited reality in
which our consciousness exists at present is one of boundaries, things within
things within things, enclosed systems within systems infolded in something
larger, contained. So even when we try to comprehend the ‘All’ it still has an
edge, a form, a shape, a boundary but logically we know that’s impossible
because it can’t be all if it has boundaries, it means there’s something
beyond’
‘You are creating for
yourself pictures of physical distance. You are creating unnecessary confusion
for yourself’
Liz… ‘This doesn’t
feel like confusion, this feels like thinking’
‘Slowly, slowly you
will begin to understand but there is always a starting point in your mind. You
will find you will let go of the physical pictures that you create and you will
see beyond into a space that has no limits’
Liz… ‘No shape, no
form, the formless. You use the term understanding and yet understanding, the
nature of the word you are standing under, rather than entering into, becoming.
That’s what’s difficult for us to do I think. Especially while being in the
physical to actually let go and enter into the formless. I guess it’s a bit
like someone standing on a rock in the middle of the ocean and then diving into
the sea because at the moment we have to come back to the rock’
‘You feel safe on the
rock as you feel safe with your physical structure that surrounds you. You have
built before yourself a fear of letting go for the physical world is your safe
home at this time. It is your comfortable place and you do not want to lose
that comfortable safe feeling that you associate with the physical world that
you see around you yet you are already living in a world beyond the physical.
You are no different to us only your focus is different’
Liz… I guess when you
consider sea water flows through our veins, that we have the sea in us, we’re
made of all things that are in the sea and actually there’s a delight in diving
into the sea, just this sense of loyalty to this rock that there must be some
reason why we need to come back to the rock but in actual fact the sea is
calling to us all the time. We have this connection with the sea, with these
deeper areas and our blood calls out to the sea because we know it’s where we
belong, where we come from. So it’s as if part of us knows that we belong to
the sea, that we have this sense of loyalty to the rock and it’s a hard choice
that we’ve made. We have to stick with it, somehow we’ve dragged our self out
onto that rock which is a pretty difficult thing to do and we’ve got some
business there on the rock but there’s an innate knowledge that at some point
we will return to the sea. It’s so much easier in the sea, quite difficult
living on the rock’
‘You have created for
yourself this rock and the sea that surrounds it. When you sit in your
meditations bring this picture to your mind and expand on this picture. Take
yourself away from the rock and feel how this affects the way you think,
explore the sea, explore all that holds the sea and expand your awareness. Do
this in your meditations and it will help with your understanding. It will help
you to appreciate the non-physical world that you are a part of… We have
reached the end of our session with you this evening, we hope we have built for
you something to think about, something on which to expand your ideas for you
have said much that interests us and allows us into your own way of thinking.
It is always as interesting for us when we come to speak for we get an idea of
how restrictive the world of physical matter can be, how it can drag you into a
place where you cannot appreciate the true feelings that are building up inside
of you yet you are slowly realizing and opening up new pathways to explore and
expand your awareness. We give to you a piece of our love to help you with your
explorations, widening your own understandings and awareness. Thank you my dear
friend may God bless and keep you all, goodnight to you’
Liz… ‘Thank you
friend, goodnight and God bless you all’
Liz put the music back on and I felt back with it after a
couple of minutes.
Liz did the closing prayer, sent out healing and did our
closing down exercise…
