Changes

GINNY: I'm beginning to notice the [[difference]] a lot. Somehow when I look for amusement or calmness or peacefulness, I think that if I try to take care of those needs, sometimes I feel [[guilty]] that I should be more active in doing more stuff "out there". I'm learning now to [[value]] my time, where I choose to do [[stillness]] more, and believe it or not I feel [[guilty]] when I'm doing stillness. Isn't that silly? And to do things that I really like to do, to fulfill my other needs rather than just having to make a living all the time.

PAULO: It's because you are rising to the occasion of [[relationship]] with [[Divinity]], and in many ways you are [[alone]]. This is the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues existential blues] that you are [[singing]]. Everyone is [[gregarious]] (except for those asocial types, or anti-social types, and even the anti-social types enjoy their own [[perverse]] socialization). In your gregariousness you [[realize]] the importance of [[association]] and that is what would lean you to/ incline you to think you were being anti-social or [[selfish]] to be seeking the company of your own Indwelling [[Adjuster]] or even your own mind.

What kind of [[ego]] would enjoy such an [[indulgence]] as its own company? Well, a healthy ego, actually. But in [[moderation]], for the effect of a quality [[stillness]] will usually bring [[the soul]] to a position of readiness to be of [[service]] or to live in such a way as to [[reflect]] that deity level which presents the highest standard of [[relative]] [[perfection]] available. It's a wonderful [[aspiration]], to allow your [[perfection]] to express itself by [[being]]. And there are many who are uncomfortable with these [[manifestations]] of [[perfection]] for it reminds them of their own imperfection. It's one of those [[animalistic]] [[behaviors]] that is bent on destroying that which is [[good]] for it. It's a facet of [[rebellion]].

The [[mind arena of choice]] is where you live. It's the arena wherein your [[Thought Adjuster]] and your will meet, and wrestle, where the [[victor]] of the battle will result in a recognition of the [[Spirit of Truth]]. You were talking earlier about [[experience]]. The [[value]] of experience, and how it is that it requires experience to learn these lessons, that on [[other worlds]] perhaps the lessons are not so [[brutal]] or long-lasting, the circumstances of a controlled world being different than the circumstances on a [[decimal world]]. The only way you can develop [[perfection]] is to have the experience of knowing what doesn't work.

The example of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Slave Michelangelo's unfinished captives] has been used to prove the [[point]]. Within each block of solid marble is a [[prisoner]] of the material world. Each creation reflects the [[power]] of life to [[force]] itself out of the confines of the unyielding material [[reality]] to reveal the naked [[truth]] of itself. The potential is glaring in these works as it is in you who, like Michelangelo's captives, half-carved and half-[[buried]] in marble, [[reveal]] yourself only as you are impelled to push your way forward into reality, into thin air, as it were, into [[spirit]], as [[compared]] to material. And surely you must recognize that your living conditions, your life circumstances as [[mortals]] on [[planet 606]] of the System of [[Satania]], are as dense as marble in any [[analogy]] of your emerging reality.

Usually [[life]] is not required to [[force]] itself so hard into [[becoming]], but for you to grasp the hand of your [[Thought Adjuster]], as it were, and rise to the occasion that is presented in your one short life in the flesh, you indeed do grapple. Even to stand up has required great [[effort]]. If you knew how hardy you are, you would be [[surprised]], for you think of yourselves as [[weak]], doubting, insignificant, pale by [[comparison]] to those you admire like [[Jesus]], who was a [[Creator Son]].

===='''''[[Heroism]]'''''====

THOROAH: We don't have a lot of [[icons]] in between [[Jesus]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses], so to speak, to relate to. That is a real [[dichotomy]]. I hadn't thought about that. It's the only thing we've been given. We've been given [[perfection]] to [[compare]] ourselves to rather than to be able to get into the [[relative]] state of things.

PAULO: Here we are in an area we might be able to do something about. Here we are in an area of allowing ourselves to begin to [[think]] of [[heroes]], heroes being someone you might look up to. Have you given any [[consideration]] to the heroic aspects of your own [[character]]? Have you ever thought of yourself as being a hero? I won't [[embarrass]] you if you haven't thought of that or wouldn't want to say.

THOROAH: It's easy to be peaceful when we're [[isolated]]. I would like to be at peace in the middle of the [[activity]], and have peace of mind so that I am in [[control]]. There needs to be some element of [[self-mastery]] in the equation.

GINNY: I just got a chance to review the movie "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandhi_%28film%29 Ghandi]" which has been on the television the last couple of days and that's an example, a more [[modern]] example. I tend to think that [[Jesus]] was a long time ago and his world was [[different]], so here was a [[chance]] to see a more human, a non-divine person, come up from the dregs of the [[society]] that looked down upon the untouchables and people of other [[cultures]] and other races. Their [[hopes]] of this man who was willing to stick his neck out, so to speak, and was able to [[influence]] millions of people, from India, to adopt a [[non-violent]] [[attitude]], but certainly not passive! He was not a passive person. At all! He was very active, but it was non-violent, and it was just a [[beautiful]] example of how that can be done.

PAULO: Yes, [[peace]] is not [[passive]] as much as it is [[non-violent]].

GINNY: He was heroic.

PAULO: You are very [[reluctant]] to nominate your fellows to heroic description. You also tend to shun [[recognition]] of [[heroism]] in your own experience. And yet look at the Christmas story, "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_a_Wonderful_Life It's a Wonderful Life]." Each life is a potential [[miracle]], and each human being certainly does [[impact]] everyone he or she [[touches]]. Whether they affect people positively or negatively is up to you.

GINNY: I think because of our gross nature we tend to need a lot of [[sensationalism]] to impress us. We have be hit over the head before our [[attention]] is gotten, and I guess that is just a matter of [[maturity]]. We have to learn to spot our [[chances]] for [[heroism]] in a quiet way rather than needing to be . ..

PAULO: That's the way to [[rebel]] on [[this world]]. Just step out and do it!

THOROAH: I like what [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Nightingale Earl Nightingale] used to quote, someone who said, "We follow the [[leaders]] when we start to school following the leaders," and actually back at school we're not even following the leaders, we're following the followers. And we [[learn]] early in life to fit in.

GINNY: And what a sad day it is when we as children learn that those we love are not really as noble as we thought they were.

THOROAH: And now we're going to do something about it. Turn that around into something [[positive]].

PAULO: It certainly means you must stop [[blaming]] yourselves and rise to the occasion of stepping outside that mental [[paradigm]] that dominates [[Christianity]] and that is also prevalent in other major [[religions]] as a result of the same [[primitive]] and [[warlike]] [[ancestry]] of your evolving [[animal nature]]. It must reach a point of allowing the animal conditioning to take second place to the [[spirit]] awareness that is your actuality. Rise to the occasion. [[Support]] each other in this [[heroic]] [[struggle]] to stand tall, without [[shame]], without [[guilt]], without [[blame]]. But with full [[understanding]] of how that [[woe]]ful experience, as well as other many planetary mishaps, have [[distorted]] your roots such that you have had to rise above a great many [[tribulations]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_search_of_the_lost_chord search of the Lost Chord]. Having found that Lost Chord, hold fast to it and let it carry your [[voice]] into the realms of [[purity]] that are high [[fidelity]]. High fidelity [[attainment]]. Is that the [[music of the spheres]]?

GINNY: I think we can be too hard on ourselves, too, when we realize what we're starting from as [[Agondonters]], that we have been able to at least make friends with our [[Adjuster]]. If we can at least get that far on [[this planet]], to me that's an [[heroic]] act.

THOROAH: There would be myriad waiting in the wings already active but waiting for more and more activity. I think we'll be seeing or meeting a lot of those people who have given up [[everything]] of their own [[thoughts]] just to be around here to help us.

PAULO: The [[factor]] that we haven't seemed to touch upon here today is that while our [[discussions]] [[emanated]] from a [[reflection]] of what the [[911|World Trade Center travesty]] brought upon you as a people, that is to say impelled the [[growth]] of [[faith]], the growth of the [[spirit]], this is true throughout the world. The [[experience]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City New York] has triggered the [[experiences]] of others, everywhere, to review their own - not only their mortality, but their [[traumas]], their own life traumas that have been nicely packed away in a memory bin somewhere. The audacity has brought forth the hidden [[feelings]] of millions of people.

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTSD post traumatic stress disorder] of [[war]] or [[accidents]] or [[violent]] acts of all manner are being relived by the [[collective consciousness]] of Americans in particular and world [[citizens]] in general. Yes, it is indeed a trigger point for [[growth]], a large one, but there have been many others and there will be many more until such time as these times emerge into a clearer tomorrow, a brighter [[destiny]] because these many psychic [[wounds]] will have been [[healed]]. The spirit has been able to nurture many people into [[growth]], into more [[mature]] pathways already.

PAULO: I will say that it isn't [[necessary]] that you be content, but it is necessary that you [[accept]]. In fact, if you can accept what is, without [[feeling]] content about it, you will see where the [[growth]] [[potential]] lies, and you will have innately the [[impetus]] to do something about it, but if you're comfortable, where's the point? I'm not saying [[comfort]] isn't a natural part of sonship, or even of [[creature]] life, but you don't need comfort. You need [[acceptance]]. Acceptance isn't always comfortable, but this is where there is [[growth]], even in [[conflict]]. I'm out of my league in [[psychology]]. I'll leave that to first phasers.

MICHAEL: This is your [[Master Son|sovereign]] and your friend. Can you [[imagine]] that? Having a sovereign as a friend?

It has become burdensome become you have to deal with densities and [[complexities]] of the [[material world]]. And you have done well to be able to see beyond this gross part of your [[reality]] and this indeed is the [[purpose]] of this your first experience as a [[personality]], to have the ability to choose your [[path]], your fate.

There are many who do not have this [[life]]. There are many who flounder in [[darkness]]. There are many who have no [[hope]]. So where do your [[heroic]] acts lie?
