Being somewhat of a [[Peace|peaceful]] [[person]], I struggled with the militaristic [[metaphor]] we discussed last week, regarding the teaching of [[history]].  It was one I could not ignore.  It [[forced]] me to look beyond the destructive [[nature]] of the militaristic [[mind]], and seek the [[characteristics]] of a [[strategic]] [[mind]].  And then I could see that when we engage our rightful mind in concert with a strategic mind, that it guides us in the right direction.  Could you speak to this, please?

MONJORONSON:  Most certainly.  Let me delve a bit into your [[thinking]], or your estimation of the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military military] mind.  The militarism of your [[species]] is organized [[warfare]], and oftentimes it has been a [[necessity]] of [[survival]] for those tribes and clans and nations to have military [[leaders]].  Do not [[confuse]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MURDER murder]—the [[act]] of murder and the [[intention]] of murder—with the military mind.  A military mind is the [[organization]] of [[forces]] for aggression, which is contrary to [[our teachings]], but is supported by [[defense]] of [[individuals]] to [[survive]].  We wish you to [[appreciate]] the [[necessity]] in primitive [[cultures]], the [[presence]] of [[war]] [[machines]], of legions of soldiers to protect the nation and the culture and the [[ethos]] of their people.

Had there not been those protective [[forces]], your [[Genetics|gene pool]] now would be much diminished and primitive, compared to what you have now.  All the people of [[intelligence]] and [[The Arts|arts]] would have long been gone, and you would be a brutal [[race]], even more so than you are.  I say these [[things]] for you to [[appreciate]] the [[difference]] between a murderous [[behavior]] in [[thinking]] and the [[necessity]] of [[war]], of armies and navies to protect the homeland.  In no way do we condone intentional [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MURDER murder], or the intentional invasion of innocent nations and the destruction of [[cultures]].  This is contrary to all the teachings that we provide to your world.  Having said that, yes, there is great [[necessity]] to appreciate the [[strategic]] importance of the [[work]] that I do.  Please refresh me with your question, as this one has lost his way.  (Laughter.)

MONJORONSON:  Most certainly.  As you can see, we are [[growing]] you into the very breadth and depth of your [[personality]], by asking you to think [[strategically]], while as well, at the same time, [[thinking]] “rightfully.”  [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_mindfulness#Right_mindfulness Right thinking] is [[essential]] in the greatest and grandest [[developments]] of the [[universe]].  The [[ascendant career]] begins by right thinking, by being [[conscious]] of what you are [[thinking]], and then [[choosing]] to [[act]] on that.  Right thinking is [[observing]] your life; it is taking the observer position of your life.  [[Mortal]] [[progress]] then falls ahead rapidly, when you begin to [[observe]] yourself thinking, seeing [[choices]], making decisions and [[acting]] on them.  When you are not observing yourself in your [[thinking]], to make those [[choices]], you are simply reacting and oftentimes it is hit or miss, whether your choosing follows along right thinking or not.  You have a much higher [[probability]] of moving ahead in your [[spiritual]] [[ascendant career]] rapidly, when you are the [[observer]] of yourself.

This is a hugely important [[process]] for bringing your self consciously, [[intentionally]], into the [[magnificence]] of your [[relationship]] with your [[Thought Adjuster]].  This is [[essential]] to your [[progress]].  [[Fusion]] will come much more rapidly when you are the [[observer]] of yourself; this is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_mindfulness#Right_mindfulness right thinking].  Right thinking is [[seeing]] the choices, one of which is always includes going against the [[will of God]], but you see this as not a desirable [[option]] in your [[behavior]].  You see options as hurting your fellow [[brothers and sisters]], but these options are as well not desirable options.  You see the option of hurting yourself, being selfish, being egoistic, seeing yourself of greater [[value]] than other people and acting upon that selfish [[orientation]].  In the right thinking mode, you would see this as an option, which is fully detrimental to your [[integration]] with yourself, with your [[Thought Adjuster]], with your fellow brothers and sisters, with your [[Guardian Angel]], with your [[Ascension Career|ascendant plan]].

Dying peacefully begins by seeing your [[body]] at the end of an era; the [[materialism]] of your [[body]] is just clothing for the [[spirit]]; it is not who you truly are; it is given to you temporarily to help you engage the [[experiences]] of this world.  Your attachment to the [[materiality]] of this world impedes your easy [[progress]] across.  Many would cross earlier and more easily from life to dying, had they truly [[understood]] that their attachment to the [[materialism]] of life, to their [[body]], hinders their crossing easily.  When you begin to see yourself as an [[ascendant]] [[spirit]], who is a captive in a [[body]], you will engage this [[continuum]] more easily and approach the [[event]] of [[death]] as something which is transitory and temporary.

Vicki:  MONJORONSON, this is a question both about living and dying.  It’s about [[spiritual]] [[experience]] and our [[chemistry]].  Our [[scientists]] believe that we have isolated a chemical in our [https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineal_Gland pineal glands] that increases in amount during an [[Out of Body Experience|out of body or near death experience]].  This implies that there may be other [[chemical]] [[changes]] taking place during the [[processes]] of both our living and dying that stimulate [[spiritual]] [[experience]].  Is that a correct [[assumption]]?
 
   
 
   
 
MONJORONSON:  Yes, it is.
 
MONJORONSON:  Yes, it is.
Line 165: Line 165:  
Vicki:  Can you tell us anything more about this [[chemistry]] that may stimulate [[spiritual]] [[experience]].

MONJORONSON:  I alluded to that in my answer about using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoactive_drugs psychoactive drugs] to [[assist]] a [[person]] in having an [[Out of Body Experience|out of body, transpersonal]] [[experience]].  It is of great [[assistance]] to the individual to [[process]] their dying as a [[spiritual]] [[experience]].  Most [[individuals]] of your [[culture]] do not see dying as a [[spiritual]] [[experience]] but as a regretful, [[physical]] leaving of the [[pleasures]] that they had earlier in life.  The altered [[state]] of [[consciousness]] assists in this passage being [[interpreted]] as a spiritual experience.  It allows the gates between [[consciousness]] and [[spiritual]] [[experience]] to be withdrawn.  It is much like a drawbridge to a castle; that you are in the castle of your [[mind]], the drawbridge is put down, and you can cross it and enter the grand vistas of the [[horizon]] of the [[spirit]] realm easily and [[deliberately]].  Yes, there are many [[chemical]] [[processes]] which are undergoing in the [[death]] experience.  However, it is only in the [[conscious]] traverse of this [[space]] that these chemicals usually develop.  You are seeing [[evidence]] of that in out of body, near death experiences, those individuals who are having transpersonal experiences in their living [[moments]] that have been [[analyzed]] by your [[scientists]].  This can be assisted as I said, through the [[application]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoactive_drugs psychoactive drugs].  Not much is needed, as the [[mind]] is usually open and [[receptive]] to this, and can be done most easily.
