Charles: [Mark] Very well, I'll throw my hat in the ring, I am Charles. I welcome these lines of [[conversation]] in which one has a palpable sense of [[growth]] happening; this notion of bringing [[awareness]] into your equation is an ever ongoing theme that I would help to promote once again. The idea that you may more and more take the position of seeing yourselves as the [[observer]] in the equation, not just that [[the universe]] is circling around you, but also that you are a part of the universe at large, observing it doing its natural normal thing.

It is one of the great [[challenges]] of a mortal life is to try to [[assimilate]] your [[individualism]] into the totality and [[the whole]], for while you are indeed an individual and unique in all of [[time and space]], so is every other individual out there and you must [[reconcile]] that all of you are in this raft together, observing your environment and each other together while each seeing it from a different [[perspective]]. Truly this allows for a multiplicity of combinations and different viewpoints and perspectives. Different levels of [[experience]] all generate what you have been referring to as the different [[vibration]] levels, these different energy levels at play and sometimes these energies are similar and therefore [[attractive]] to each other and at other times the energies are dissimilar and are like the forces of the [[magnet]] to equally repel or attract.

I applaud this offering of appreciation of the different [[opportunities]] presented to the observer and how many times, for many of life's circumstances, so much of what occurs is simply an extension of what has occurred before. So much of what is seen is [[interpreted]] in light of circumstances and situations which have previously existed. This brings on the one hand a sense of [[comfort]] and ease to the individual who is able to think that they have seen it all before and will not be [[surprised]] at how things turn out or how circumstances unfold.

I suggest to you that this type of modeling and patterning, while it may be useful in some aspects of mortal life, say the example of [[learning]] to be a stone mason and using this [[skill]] over and over again to build wonderful creations, serves the stone mason well. He need not look far and wide for new [[methods]] and techniques when he has developed methods and techniques which are stable and certain and guaranteed. The [[danger]] lies that no new accomplishments may be [[attained]], no new horizons may be seen because the participant is not looking, their energy for the new and different is simply not there.

Likewise, as a mortal of the realm, one must be careful to not become too settled in your ways, too sure of yourself, too certain of your position because while these characteristics enable you to [[rest]] more easy in your [[journey]], they also prohibit you from encountering or entertaining or expanding to [[encompass]] those things which are new to you, those things which are not part of your previous experience. This is where, as you have referred, [[spirit]] may assist in your growth and [[development]]. It may expand your parameters of awareness because you are able to [[relax]] and have [[faith]], even in that which you do not yet know or do not yet possess as a part of your [[being]]. Merely your having faith in the [[process]] creates space for growth and your [[conviction]] provides you with the strength to [[wander]] into unknown places in search of that which is [[Tbg|good and true and beautiful]].

If you are indeed seeking these things, then you will indeed find these things in places you have yet to even consider. That is what is good about trying to maintain an open-minded [[posture]] in your stance, to be ready to [[receive]] that which the universe would bring to you. So while there are good and [[enduring]] and well intentioned results that are derived from sticking to your fixed [[ideas]], there is also much to be gained by allowing the universe to be your [[teacher]] as you have stated, so that all things come into play, even your [[choice]] whether you are on 'play' or on 'record', whether you choose to simply react or act as a matter of will and choice.

Indeed this [[mortal]] life can take on an entirely new meaning for the observer who is willing to become an active participant and act rather than [[react]] to all that transpires. This is what is so enjoyable about witnessing those of you who are at this cusp, whose spiritual [[vibration]] level has expanded to the point of the [[discussion]] and identification and ultimately of mastering this aspect of being we are referring to. There are many [[methods]] one may use to keep this potential in the forefront of their [[mind]] so whatever works for you is your method, but the very concept that you are willing to devote yourself to [[attention]] of this aspect means that those aspects of the universe which match this vibration of yours are now open and available to you as the chapters of a book which you now have access to.

Thank you all for the invitation, it is always a delight to join you in your conversation as one of you, among you, another spirit seeker as you are.
===Closing===
Van El : a midwayer: [Cathy] I am indeed a specialist in things [[technological]]. My [[talents]] have been available to you at your request. The challenges of [[communicating]] on many levels are sometimes daunting. By using this medium you have demonstrated an [[awareness]] and capacity to become open to new levels of contact and connect to the available [[circuits]]. Your elementary technologies are an arena that is constantly changing. I can facilitate your [[ability]] to [[perceive]] the point that can be activated. Like the more experienced friend, I can bring your attention to elements that are in [[dysfunction]] and then your awareness will lead to a search for a "recipe" to fix the problem. I am most [[happy]] to interact with you and [[share]] my insights. Together we may bring forth the best in the tools of technology for your use.
