Changes

As you find yourself suspended gently, and, indeed, held up by what you might call a supportive cushion of God's [[love]] filling your [[heart]], you may, if you [[listen]] carefully, hear a [[tone]] within yourself--a [[vibration]] of your being, I would call it. This is the "[[essential]] you" which [[resonates]] always in [[harmony]] with God, your Creator. God has taken this tone and [[surrounded]] it with a material being, a [[body]] which contains this essential "soul tone" which you can [[sing]] in your life. You can be this [[expression]] of yourself in the world. There is the expression, the saying, "I know how to carry this tune." "I know that this [[note]] is true." "This strikes me as the right chord." These are times when you know you are in [[resonance]] with a vibration. This is, indeed, a [[metaphor]] by which you can cultivate this [[soul]] [[vibration]] of yourself. Find the way in which your tone can blend easily with the other tones that [[surround]] you. How can you orchestrate yourself, as it were, so that you hit the note which then is mellifluous to the ears of others?

We can be so [[exposed]] to the discordant [[energy]] of the world. It can, indeed, require much of us to "hold to our own note," as it were. Have you the [[understanding]] of the [[experience]] when you sing with others in a [[choir]] or grouping, and perhaps the division line between the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alto altos] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soprano sopranos] lies between you and the singer next to you, and you must hold to one [[tone]], one note, one resonance, while this other is, indeed, most closely imposing itself upon you? There are times when [[professional]] singers will, indeed, hold their ears in order to more closely [[focus]] upon their own resonance without the [[distraction]] of the other tones and notes imposing themselves upon them. This is, indeed, a [[challenge]] that we face in this [[life]], to hold clearly to our own resonance pattern in a way which [[reflects]] the [[truth]] of ourselves to others, and at the same time is not [[discordant]] to the tones of others with whom we [[interact]].

If I offer this as a [[metaphor]] of [[interaction]], is there any [[commentary]], any remarks anyone might make at this point, any [[observations]] to share regarding this lesson, this [[concept]], I present?

B: Yes. I was wondering if the [[metaphor]] of "tone," does it mean a single [[note]], or a chord, or possibly a [[melody]], or how far can you stretch the metaphor?

Olfana: A tone always does carry with it, [[harmonics]]. (Smiling) And therefore there is no one "Johnny one-note," if you will, created by [[the Father]]. (Group [[laughter]]) There is, indeed, multiplicity to this [[image]], yes, B. But I would say that there is, indeed, something to be said for the sense of, when we come to our [[essential]] [[self]], there is this [[stability]] of the pattern of [[vibration]]. There is this sense of the basic tone from which many other [[possibilities]] may [[flow]]. It is as if one says, "Yes, I 'settle' within the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_of_C key of C] at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_of_F note of F], when I am most comfortable." Is this an appropriate [[explanation]] of this [[metaphor]] for you now?

B: Yes. It seems then that it's our unique . . . , but very deep, a [[unique]] [[tone]] that's God-given.

B: In the sense that it's not something that [[changes]] or grows, not like [[the soul]] growing and changing, but it stays the same.

Olfana: I would say, it amplifies itself. And yet, yes, this essential tone is as if [[the Father]] has struck an instrument, and in this [[moment]] has, indeed, created [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_of_B B]. And this marks you for what I would call, your [[life]].

B: So the [[personality circuit]], the gift of the [[personality]] from [[the Father]], one might think about in terms of the [[metaphor]]. I think of it often as a beam of [[light]] that created my personality. Also, then, It looks like a beam of tone, a sound that is me.

J: It's funny you should mention that. I was going to ask you, as you are present in this room of us [[mortals]], struggling mortals. Our [[soul]] [[tones]] are evident to you, I assume?

Olfana: I am deeply capable of experiencing each of you. ([[Smiling]]) I would, perhaps, leave it at that, unless I have opened too much of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora's_box Pandora's Box].

J: Oh, it sounds pretty [[good]] to me, so far. I'm just [[wondering]], are you capable, or is there a [[wisdom]] in, or is there a [[risk]] involved, in trying to put some kind of tentative [[words]] on our [[soul]] tone? Are you capable, or is S capable, of [[transmitting]] your sort of [[description]] of say, T's soul tone, or F's soul tone, or M's soul tone, or would this be not advisable? I'm just absolutely [[curious]], that's all.
