Good afternoon students, this is Rayson. Welcome to our biweekly session. As this is a difficult subject as you may have already determined, we will now begin the second half of this lesson, the first half we had [[2002-04-07-Removing, Replacing Static Energy|two weeks ago]]. I would like you to [[tone]] the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om Om] four times please. Do not be reticent to be loud, and do not restrain your throat to be [[quiet]] but let it [[flow]] from you with [[heart]] with gusto and let it [[resonate]] throughout your body, and your mind and the environment around you (pause)

See your individual [[energies]] as water [[flowing]] into a pool. Some of you will have a large volume and some of you will have little. This is not a regular thing but can [[change]] from day to day and week to week; but today, please do this and [[visualize]] this. We wish to have you draw upon an even energy source today; we wish you to lend your [[strengths]] to those who have less today, and those who have less may draw upon this to equalize themselves, so those with more are also equalized. We are developing a [[strength]], a [[rapport]] in the group today, as you have needs for [[attention]] when you are less observant, and those of you who are hyper-[[vigilant]] may lend your energies to those who need it, thus being more relaxed and able to deal with your issues that you will be working on in a more relaxed [[manner]].

Two weeks ago we began directing your awareness, your [[attention]], to the issues that hold you back from [[growth]]; those things that are [[intimate]] to your life, to your [[psyche]], to your well being. Those things which you know best, but which you may not be conscious of on a regular daily minute by minute basis. We handed out sticky notes to you to write down the issues that you wanted to work on, to be placed in strategic places. Even if the [[statement]] simply said, "Be attentive." "Be self-observant." "Why am I [[reacting]]?" "What is the issue here?" "Is it my [[problem]]?" "Is it their problem?" "Why am I reacting?" These are notifications to you as you drive in your car, or doing otherwise throughout the day to become much more self-aware, to develop your [[self-consciousness]]. For in self-consciousness, you can live life actively, inter-actively, [[co-creative]]ly! And that is the most powerful place to be for overcoming your issues.

You have seen many people in your [[society]], I think you call them "couch potatoes," who watch TV all the time and are really not in their body or in their [[mind]], they are out there in the screen. They are not even living life vicariously they are being [[entertained]]. They are "smoking on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium opium] pipe" of [[modern]] [[society]]. And so it is a very harmful, deleterious [[habit]] to get into, to be unawake, [[unconscious]], un-self-aware, to be living in an alternative reality, which has no reality to itself, other than the [[fiction]], or even the news on TV.

So these notes are to help your [[self-awareness]], they are little "pinpricks," as your [[mother]] or grandparent may have done at [[church]] they would pinch you a little bit in church to awaken you to [[listen]] to the [[sermon]], to listen to the service, not to fall asleep. Of course, grandpa may have gotten pinched too, huh, as he was falling asleep. This is to live life, being [[awake]]. Living life unawares, as some of your [[philosophers]] have said, is not to live at all, but a life that is wasted; this has been said by eastern and western and middle-eastern philosophers for centuries. Live a life that is [[conscious]], moment to moment.

I want you to become [[aware]] of those [[voices]]. Your chore these next two weeks is to identify those voices that hold you back. If you do nothing else in two weeks, do that. Only if you identify, that’s all you need to do. If you wish to move forward, the second [[step]] would be to identify where that [[voice]] is coming from. Whose voice was that? Whose voice is that? Perhaps it is your voice? If so, you have become the [[conscious]] voice of whomever programmed that into you. You have taken over their voice. And this is the most insidious thing that demoralizes many people: to have unwittingly, unconsciously, taken on the voice of the demeaning [[authority]] figure.

What we want to do is much like a beautiful [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floribunda_rose floribunda rose]. Do you know what a floribunda rose is? (No, I don’t know.) Thank you! A real, live response! A floribunda rose is one that has many, many, many little buds and blooms. The other type of rose is one that has just two or three or four, and they are much larger. So we [[accept]] that every thing about you is [[beautiful]], and even the voices of [[authority]] that were in your lives so many years ago, they were beautiful too, for they were there to help form your [[character]]. But now it is time to pinch off those buds so that the other buds may bloom and grow bigger. The [[energy]] that [[flows]] through this stem of life, yes, your own [[merkaba]], your core energy shaft, must now flow into the master consciousness part of your own [[being]], that which you wish to have bloom to It’s fullest in this mortal lifetime.

The tasks that we are setting out for you in these lessons are very simple: Eliminate that which diminishes your [[greatness]] and nurture those things that help you flourish. That’s it! But the key [[tools]] to this, are two: One is [[consciousness]], [[becoming]] aware of those things which diminish your greatness; and two, the [[expression]] of will to do something about that. And what is that? That is to make a [[choice]]. Consciously make a choice! And make that choice every time you hear that [[voice]] that diminishes your [[greatness]]. The choice will be to [[command]] it to be gone.

But in time, my friends, as you continue this [[process]], the person will call you on the phone and they will say, "Hello, this is so-and-so," and in your mind, you say, "I [[forgive]] you. There is no energy here in this conversation. I am in the Christ Consciousness. The mind of Christ now speaks through me. I am at [[peace]]." "Yes, what did you have to say? What did you call me about?" "Oh, yada yada yada " "Hmm, very interesting. All right, I will deal with that. Good bye." And then you get off the phone and proceed with what you were doing.

Yes, I know, the most [[difficult]] situations you have are those that are ongoing, that are not resolved. These require the greatest, heightened, most energetic Christ Conscious mind possible! You cannot [[escape]] this situation, you cannot remove yourself from it, it is there and you have to deal with it. Yes, you could cope with it; you could get off the phone, stand in the middle of the room and just scream, or go to the gym and work out and beat up a punching bag, or run your feet into the ground for many miles. That’s coping. That really helps the [[body]] to maintain its longevity, but what about the [[mind]]? The mind has no other release. Yes, I know the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endorphins endorphins] from [[exercise]] can help you, they will calm you, you will feel better, and you can smooth over or melt or soften the situation through exercise and coping [[mechanisms]], but what about when this happens again? So it is a matter of personal [[control]] and mastery. This is living mastery, the mastery of life and living in a difficult society on a difficult planet.

Student: So these series of incidences will be closed and are closed when the static charge is removed through the [[forgiveness]] and love.

Rayson: Yes. Now, there is much more to say about that. The static charge is just so much [[language]] but you feel the [[emotional]] [[energy]] in [[anger]] or [[resentment]], [[hostility]], [[jealousy]], [[envy]] it could be any number of negative [[emotions]]--and if you have those feelings, then you need to forgive yourself, forgive that person and to master the situation by saying these affirmations. These affirmations become rather a [[mantra]]; they are a way of programming your mind. You’ve heard of people belonging to [[cults]] that need to de-program from those [[learning]] experiences, that is what is necessary to remove negative [[training]], negative indoctrination. But your mind is programmable, and therefore, you want to program it with successful software, successful programs, programs that support your life of successes. The reasons why many people go to [[listen]] to positive speakers, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Robbins Anthony Robbins], and others, but remain unsuccessful is that the old programs of [[failure]] and diminishment are still running in their minds.

What you will [[experience]] as you take more and more mastery of your [[mind]] and [[control]] of it, and releasing the [[negative]], [[authority]] voice from your mind, and forgiving those past experiences, is that there will be less and less color or [[emotional]] [[reaction]] to these situations. Eventually, you will go from graphic, real life, full color videos to the little 2 X 2 black and white negatives of that picture there’s no energy there anymore there’s [[memory]], but there is no energy. And you will know you are making success because you have less and less [[reactions]] to these situations.

I am going to give an example which I know will make Daniel uncomfortable, but I must because it was first proposed by a very wonderful teacher, a [[Melchizedek]] named Ahsha, who assisted Daniel in writing the book [http://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Relationships-Guide-Authentic-Loving/dp/1579830013/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1376685207&sr=1-1&keywords=sacred+relationships%2C+raphael Sacred Relationships, a Guide to Authentic Loving]. There is a chapter in there called, "[[Forgiveness]]." And under the sub-title of the chapter is "Ah-ha!" The "Ah-ha" is that when you get to final forgiveness, you realize that your [[nemesis]], the person who has caused you so much difficulty, is actually the teacher of your [[weakness]], and that they are simply a [[personification]] of the weakness that you must overcome. That is a different way of [[thinking]] about this person, isn’t it? It is a very powerful way of thinking about it. Let us develop this further. This chapter was a tremendous "Ah ha" for Daniel and it was a very powerful and exciting chapter to write because he experienced many levels of [[forgiveness]] that he had never experienced or tried before.

Another technique of [[forgiveness]] is to put yourself in the shoes of your [[nemesis]], the person who was or is causing you such difficulty. And this may be in the present time, or some time in the [[past]]. And what you are trying to do here is not to become like that person, but to [[understand]] the [[motivation]] of why this person would treat you this way. What causes, what thoughts, what motivations and [[beliefs]] would course through this person that they would treat you so unkindly? And when you do this, you will begin to understand what formed them and why they behave this way. And then you will realize that they have lots of work to do too, to forgive themselves, to forgive who taught them, and to re-program their [[thinking]]. And you realize and come to understand why they treated you that way. And when you understand that, then it becomes more likely that you can [[forgive]] them. You begin to [[understand]] and think about the forces that it would take to form a person of that [[personality]]. Their meanness, or difficulty or contrariness, the person is so controlling, dominating what forces would be required to form a personality that way? For each of you came into the world very [[equal]], then grew from an [[innocent]] child into a [[dominating]], berating, controlling figure. The point of this is to understand them and to forgive them for what they have done. They do not do it just to you they do it to everyone! And you say, "I forgive them. I understand what brought them to that point. It hurt me, but I forgive them; I [[understand]] why they did that. I do not like their [[behavior]], but I know that they too are a child of God, of equal value to the Creator. They are my mortal brother or sister, and I forgive them." Again, if this person is alive and continues to treat you this way, on a daily basis or periodically, your chore is much more [[difficult]]. Tremendously difficult!

Rayson: This is where the others in the [[group]] will want to go with your lives, with your nemeses, is to put them aside. And one [[technique]] to do that is to [[literally]], in a psychodrama, in your thinking, confront that individual, in the moment that you think of them, because their only [[power]] is in your [[thinking]]. So if you change your thinking about how you deal with them, you will change the whole scenario. And what you do, this is one [[technique]], is as a mighty [[parent]] or a mighty personage, raise yourself up so you are 100 feet tall. And you grasp that individual gently and you put them on a shelf at eye level in front of you. And you say, "Stay there! This is where you belong." And you say, "I do this out of love and caring for you and for myself. You have no more relevance to me. I go back to my life now, as I was, without you." And then you shrink down to your current height, and you look up at the shelf, 100 feet above and there they are. They might be railing and shouting in the air, but you do not hear them. They are removed from you. They still exist, but they have no effect upon you. And in your consciousness, every time you hear their voice, you recall (snapping fingers) just like that, that they are on the shelf, and you have set them aside, and they are no longer demeaning to you, no longer demanding attention in ways that cause you grief.

Let us go back again to this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychodrama psychodrama]. I understand in this country one must be a professional [[psychotherapist]] or [[psychiatrist]], trained in this sort of activity, to be licensed, insured, totally buttoned up and secure with legal systems and professional credentials. However, nothing prevents you from doing this yourself, on your own. I will not [[guide]] you through that here, for I am not credentialed, in terms that are recognized by your society, or your [[culture]], your [[government]]. So, go back to those scenes where you were confronted by this individual. And this is where you may want to have an ice cube in your hand, to stay grounded in the moment, okay? Deliberately, consciously engage this person in that [[memory]], and the ice cube keeps you grounded in this moment so you do not sucked up in your own psychodrama that you created, and are once more trounced.’ Do you understand the importance of the ice cube?

Rayson: He should try number five! [Chuckling] If he were conscious of this [[process]], number five would be much gentler to his life.

Student: Rayson, I thought about that question you posed before, the question about (I’m having a Senior moment Oh, I hate that!) about [[Dreams]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dreaming lucid dreaming] would be the answer. (Rayson: You are correct.) You could actually be doing ÍworkÌ while you are asleep. (Exactly!) That would be an amazing gift!

Rayson: It is very possible, and many of your friends and others do lucid dreaming. You can call this into [[existence]] when you retire at night after [[meditating]]. Upon entering bed, go into [[prayer]] and ask your [[guardian angel]] to assist you in learning the lessons lucidly from your life [[experience]]. Often times during the day, your mind will protect itself from these harsh [[realities]] of [[memory]], and present you with a [[metaphor]] that you can resolve in a lucid manner. And you can observe yourself in this situation, and much as a play director, you can change the outcome, you can change the playacting of the characters. This is a higher-minded [[development]]. You can accomplish much work in the [[growth]] of your [[personality]] and forgiveness through your sleep time in lucid dreaming. It sets up scenarios where your conscious mind can then deal with them more peacefully and easily and powerfully later, during your waking state.

Rayson: Yes, this is [[preparing]] you to do this during the daytime. Be self-[[observing]]. Do these two lessons make sense? Do they provide you with new [[tools]]? (Yes. Yes, Rayson.) Good. Are they too demanding for you? (No answer.) They’re demanding, right? [Group laughing nervously.] (Yes, very demanding!)

Student: We were doing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_therapy Gestalt therapy], I guess they call it psychodrama now, back in the 70Ìs in some groups we were in, and the person who introduced me to the [[Urantia Book]] was the [[counselor]], and we had groups where we would place the piggy parent, the [[voice]] from the past or our [[nemesis]] in a chair and speak to it, as a child, as if we were a current adult, and take back the power and closing the situation with [[forgiveness]] and love. And part of our instruction was that it was not closed until it was closed with love. That’s the key that takes the energy out of it. (Rayson: That’s correct!) And so I think that most of my nemeses are up there on that shelf. I Haven’t checked on them recently. I think they’ve turned to dust. (That’s good.) But if anybody wants minor help in this kind of [[technique]], I will lend that, my experience.
