Articles From Ken and the Guys
Here’s a head spinner!
But it’s fun, in the sense that the Guys ask us to lighten up!
A friend of mine used the tern “Perpetual Wonder”, I get that now.
I think this ties in with the Christian teaching of “Be like a child”. Anyway, here goes.
Playing Around (A Mischievous Dialogue)
From ‘Dialogues Conversations with My Higher Self’
Copyright © 2005 by Kenneth James Michael MacLean
(Continued from previous article, “One Consciousness”)
Wait! We are not done yet. There is something profound that you are the edge of.
I can’t think of what it is! Give me a hint.
What is it that creates the what in what– is?
Consciousness.
What is consciousness?
Source energy that closes in upon itself and becomes self–aware, according to what you said before.
Right. So how is this done by consciousness?
Consciousness cannot be aware of itself unless the circle has been closed. So it cannot do something to itself unless it itself is already conscious.
Yes, but how did it originally get conscious?
You’re asking me? I thought we’d already gone over that!
(laughing) Yes!
I haven’t the slightest idea.
There is the NOT, the potential, that must give birth to the IS. The NOT is the Unbounded Infinite, which conceives of and creates the IS. From IS NOT comes IS. But this potential is a quality, right?
That is what you said before.
OK, then this potential cannot have a beginning and an ending. It cannot be created, by definition, right?
It sounds like you are groping for answers.
This is a cooperative effort. We are not your conception of God, as we said before. We are using you as our sounding board. We are coming to an understanding of the NOT.
The NOT ––> that which does not exist, that which as yet cannot be, therefore it cannot know, for knowing requires self awareness (We use ––> because we cannot say ‘the NOT is that which does not exist,’ for IS indicates being).
Sounds good so far.
Preceding self awareness ––> the impulse to BE, and only after the First Thought is self awareness is born. Preceding the physical creation is the conception or visualization of it, and preceding knowing–ness of self is the conception or inkling of it: the utterly new idea or conception of something that has not yet been brought to fruition, but is becoming. Therefore, knowing–about is senior to knowing itself!
Hmm, knowing–about is below knowing, not senior to it, else it could not know–about. First there has to be know, then know– about. A person who knows how to play the piano is more competent than a person who merely knows about the piano. That is why we say, ‘those who can, do, those who can’t, teach.’
In order to know the piano well enough to play, one must first know–about the piano. The impulse or idea of the piano must come first before you can even approach the piano. Knowing is associated with a thing, existence. Knowing–about is the potential to know.
Wow this is deep.
The concept is know = completion of the circle. Know–about = creation of the circle which is being completed. Know–about = unknowable, until consciousness/self–awareness, then the knowing. Unknowable is more profound than know, even though we cannot imagine it, because in order to imagine it, we must know, but knowing cannot fathom knowing about.
OK, we are just playing word games. We’re not any further along….
To figuring it all out! Right? We are not trying to figure it all out! We are just playing, do you see? This little exercise is a fun playing–around with ideas. This is what we do all the time in native state –– we play around and have fun and devise new ways to experience. So we wanted to give you a little taste of that, because you are so serious, and always approach things from the idea that we have to figure it all out. That can never be done!
I think I’m getting it. You’re just having a little bit of fun with me, and trying to get me to see that what we have been doing in these dialogues so far is just playing around, having fun, and fun is what we do for its own sake, not because there is some deep, deep, profound intellectual mystery at the bottom of it all.
Yup. We are all like little children, but if we say that, we are not taken seriously. So we have to assume an air of importance and wisdom, but we want to say we are just as dumb as you!
Or just as smart!
Yes! Do you feel the little child energy coming through?
Yes I feel it. Its mischievous too.
Yes!! Ha Ha ha!!! we feel like levitating your chair off the ground and scaring the crap out of you!! (metaphorically sticks out their tongue)
Boy you guys ARE like little kids aren’t you?
Yes! Lighten up and have some fun!
(end of transmission )
Well that was weird! The impression I got from them is that I am so serious and so are most humans and that I would feel a lot better if I just lightened up and took the attitude of a child…. OK, I get it…..
I see what they are trying to do: get me to realize that my continual, probing questions as to the ultimate nature of time, consciousness, and reality itself is just an attempt to define and limit these things for all time, to get a final answer that will be true for all time, when this is not possible. I see that the inherent nature of consciousness, and reality, is eternal, ever expanding, ever changing, and cannot possibly be boiled down into The Answer!
In their wisdom they have played with me long enough so that even I can understand this through my obscuring intellectual and analytical fog. They have allowed me to come to this conclusion in my own time, without forcing me. They have been very patient in answering my (what seem to me now) mostly stupid questions, so that I have finally been able to clear away the smog of my confusion and understand that the answer I need for any question about life the universe and everything can be found within me. I am an extension or an aspect of the universal consciousness of the Whole, or the One; eternal unto myself, and so any question I might have about anything can be answered by simply consulting my own understanding, for that understanding is the understanding of all-that-is.
Reading over this stuff I am almost embarrassed because of my confusion; but I hope that any who read this can benefit from it. Perhaps these dialogues have helped to clear up some mysteries for the reader as well. I feel like I have reached an entirely new level of understanding about myself, life, and my fellow human beings.
Did the universe have a beginning? That is the same question as asking, is there time? If the universe didn’t have a beginning, how was it manifested?
You are asking the wrong question! Rather ask, have you always been aware? If so, then you can say you have always existed. If you have always existed, then there is no beginning or end to anything, for you have always been conscious.
What? Let me clarify my question. I distinguish between awareness, or consciousness, which is a quality, not a quantity. Therefore, it does not exist, but is the creator of existence. So the matter and energy of the observable universe came into being from a Source which itself is not created. Source-of-all must be a pure, massless creative potential, otherwise, it would have had to be created by something else! Source-of-all is the Uncreated Creator. So you are confusing awareness with existence, as far as I’m concerned.
There can be no awareness without existence. The two terms are indistinguishable, are merely semantic hair–splitting.
I don’t get it. Is that supposed to be an answer?
What we mean is that in order to be self–aware, there must be a conception of self. In order for there to be a conception of self, there must be self–and–other, or something outside of self. Otherwise, there is no distinction, no differentiation, no identity, no communication, no space, no time. In other words, in order for there to be a creator, there must be the concept of something created. This very idea brings forth a thought or a vibration, which can then be perceived. We call this the First Thought. The thought of ‘something other than myself’ itself creates space and time and existence. However, the instant (no–instant) of self awareness cannot be separated from the original idea, for there was no self awareness before the First Thought!
The First Thought occurs in no–time. That is because time itself is the motion of objects in space, and there is nothing yet in existence prior to the First Thought. Therefore, there can be no distinction between existence and self awareness! Self awareness, existence, and eternity are one and the same, all occurring in a no–moment transcending, or prior, to time (an impossibility, of course). That which is beyond time is eternal. This is how a universe comes about.
Once you have become self aware, you exist.
Once you become self aware, you are eternal, for there was never a time when you were not aware, do you see?
Eternal means always in existence, and attempts to dig further into this question always leads to a circular argument.
We want to point out that altering the conditions or ‘things’ of existence is the definition of time, from your physical point of view. So time is dependent upon the decisions of consciousness.
Wow! That’s a lot to digest, but I got it! I don’t quite understand what you said in the last paragraph about time.
Time is the alteration of perception. If perception is altered, time is said to have ‘passed’ Every thought, every decision you make is an alteration of your consciousness, so with every thought you think, you experience time. That is why many teachers recommend meditation, to stop the flow of thought and release self from the perception of time, in order to reach different states of consciousness. That is what being ‘in the zone’ is –– a concentration so powerful that it leads to a complete release and a sense of being ‘outside’ the flow of time.
OK. So does reality have an independent (objective) existence, or is it simply a subjective product of consciousness?
Everything that can be imagined can be experienced because it can be perceived. If you have a dream, do you say you are not experiencing?
Wait a minute! A dream is pretty flimsy compared with reality. You talked previously about how the physical universe was created because dreams were too unsatisfying. There is no comparison to imagining something and actually experiencing it.
Nevertheless, what is imagined is perceived. The intensity of perception may vary, but perception itself is only dependent on having something to perceive. All perception is based in thought, and thought is a creation of consciousness. You may consider that something outside yourself is objectively real –– which is true, because it is Not you –– and you can also consider perception to be subjective, because it comes forth from consciousness, of which you are an aspect. The distinction is really irrelevant. What you perceive is real!
Jeez, I sort of do, but that means that nothing is really real is it? Is there an objective object when I look at a glass, or is it just an interpretation of my mind? That has been debated for millennia among philosophers.[1]
Consciousness creates from what it can imagine and draw forth from the potential. There is a ‘real’ glass there if you agree to interpret the ‘vibrations of the glass’ as a glass. The vibrational sensors of your human body interface with the energy of the glass; they are tuned to interpret the glass as a glass.
You become so dependent upon the physical senses to feed you information that our talk of ‘vibration’ makes no sense to you, for the interpretation of your world occurs instantaneously and in a continuous stream. You are barraged with a flow of data in every conscious moment. That’s the way the physical experience was designed. Remember, the point of a physical universe is to intensify perception and heighten the impact of experiencing. Therefore, it is very difficult for you in physical form to have any reality on the vibrational nature of the universe. The best you can do is build instruments which attempt to interpret your world independently of your human sensors.
OK, so you are saying that there is no objective reality, because the glass energies may be interpreted differently.
(Sigh) If you are driving along in a car at 100 miles an hour and you run into a brick wall, do you wonder whether or not the experience is real? What difference does it make if there is ‘really’ a brick wall there, or you are just interpreting a bunch of energies? If you have a vivid dream, and you wake up shaking with fear or experiencing something wonderful, do you say ‘well it was all just a dream, therefore it is not real?’ An experience is just the way a conscious being decides to perceive, as we said before.
Say you are driving along on a 2 lane road at 70 miles an hour, and as you come up over a hill you see a car coming the other way in your lane. You swerve quickly out of the way and avoid the collision. Now you and your friend talk over the incident: you are scared out of your mind and your body is shaking all over, but your friend is excited. To him, it was a wonderful thing, because it allowed him, in that instant, to experience a profound and powerful connection with his source energy. Same event, but in ‘reality,’ two completely different events.
You see, questions along those lines can never have a truly satisfactory answer from a human point of view. You are always looking to lock it down, declare it as fixed forever, when life is simply the creation of something new in every moment! If we were to say, ‘yes there is an objective reality and this is the way it is’ then you would all start creating ‘reality’ that way, and it would manifest for you, and you would be limiting yourself to a certain way of experiencing.
YOU GET TO DECIDE WHAT REALITY IS FOR YOU!
OK. So the distinction between subjective reality and objective reality is a false one.
Yes. There is no difference between objective and subjective reality. What is perceived is what is real. What is perceived is dependent upon the choices a conscious being makes. You recall yesterday, you were recording music off VHS tapes. Your VHS recorder was in the living room and your computer sound card was in the computer room, so a long cord was necessary to connect the two. You had to run in and out of the computer room occasionally to check on the picture from the TV. You recall that no less than three times you placed the VHS remote right in front of you, and walked out of the room without seeing it. When you got to the TV you did not recall where it was. When you walked back into the computer room you saw it sitting right before the monitor. This is a good example of: what is perceived is what is real. Did the remote have an ‘objective‘ reality? Another observer might say ‘Yes, I see the remote on the desk in front of the monitor.’ But you did not see it. So for you it did not exist. What is perceived is what exists. Now you might say, ‘But I could have perceived it and I did perceive it later. So it must have been there all along.’ Yes, but the point we are making is that when you were not thinking of it, it did not exist, and only when you were thinking of it, did it ‘reappear.’ This is how the game of perception, and reality, works. If the remote was made and it was sitting on the desk but no one in the universe is aware of its existence, can it be said to have an ‘objective’ or independent existence? You might say, again, that an observer who was aware of it could point to it sitting right there. But postulated observers who do not themselves exist are merely theoretical constructs and have no meaning! A thing can be said to exist right now if and only if it is perceived by an observer, a conscious being. And ONLY by that conscious being, not a theoretical observer!
From our vantage point these questions are merely an intellectual exercise with very little meaning. We assure you that we do not contemplate such things. We have a complete and total knowing that our choices and decisions determine our experiences. We exist in a sea of well–being where questions like ‘which came first, the chicken or the egg’ are meaningless. Eternal means, always was, always is, always will be. We are eternal beings, and so are you. Therefore we have always existed and will always exist, and our thoughts and creations are evolving continuously. What has been created is not so important to us as what is being created and what will be created! What new potentials will manifest from the decisions of consciousness? What new games and new experiences can we invent and then play around with?
To us it is not important whether conscious beings decide whether the remote is objectively or subjectively ‘real.’ Life is all about the joy of creating and experiencing, and the sooner you learn that the better off you will be, dear one. Do you understand?
For a second there I really got it. I gotta admit, you are consistent in your point of view.
We would say, do not limit yourself! That is our definitive answer to all questions about the nature of reality!
You may perceive in any way you choose. You are the choreographer of your life, so to speak. You get to decide who is in your play! By trying to figure it all out, you just limit the ways in which you can perceive. Use your imagination!
We understand that on earth there is fear of change, fear of those who perceive differently or have radical ideas that differ from the accepted norm. So those who dare to think and act differently are often censored. But this censorship can have no effect upon you if you just go about living life the way you would like, and paying no attention to those who do not like what you are thinking or doing.
OK, thanks again. I’m a broken record, it seems. I am asking the same questions over and over again.
(smiles) That’s all right. We enjoy adventuring with you. You are never boring, we have to say that.
[1] The Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics, introduced by Neils Bohr in the late 1920’s, says that it is impossible to say anything about a particle before it is observed. Some have interpreted this to mean that the particle does not exist at all until it is observed. Einstein once asked Bohr whether the moon existed when no one is looking at it.

Higher Self and Illness
From ‘Dialogues Conversations with My Higher Self’
Copyright © 2005 by Kenneth James Michael MacLean
You have spoken about the physical and the non–physical –– that part of Self that is not focused in the body, but which has a broader awareness. The problem for physical beings is that we are so immersed in the physical that it isn’t immediately obvious what the ‘Higher Self’ is, and how to tap into it. Does the ‘Higher Self’ have the same personality as we do? Or are we a completely independent physical expression?
The ‘higher self’ IS you –– it is just the you that is not recognizable when you are not fully conscious. How can you tell when you are fully conscious? By how you feel! When you feel wonderful, you are experiencing more of yourself. The better you feel, the more conscious of YOU you are!
Compare a beam of sunlight to the light surrounding it –– it is the same light! The water that has evaporated from the ocean and now resides in the clouds, and will eventually touch the ocean again – it is all the same thing.
OK, that answer was pretty useless! I want to know what the difference is between me, now, that I am aware of, and this so-called ‘higher self’ or ‘non-physical’ aspect of me that is somehow connected purely to source energy.
There is no difference. Whenever you condemn, criticize, or otherwise resist life experience you cut off the flow of life force energy, and your awareness and feeling of this ‘other’ part of you.
It is possible for a physical human to become completely aware of the Higher Self, but it requires a complete releasing of resistant thought. That is what the human known as the Buddha accomplished.
We assure you, the only difference between experiencing in physical and in non–physical is that in physical you hold onto vibrations that are incompatible and in disharmony with the awareness of the fullness of Self.
(Did you get that? That was very good!)
Then you feel the rotten vibrations (that you are creating and holding within yourself in every moment) and you say: ‘Oh, isn’t life tough’! And we say, ‘boy, it sure is!’
Just look at all the work you are doing, creating and holding on to vibrations that you do not like! You place some over here in your energy field, some over there, some in front of your solar plexus, some around different areas of the body, blocking off the flow of life force energy to that part, then you say ‘Oh! I am sick! How did that happen! It must have been that cold going around’ and we say, there is no source of cold virus going around. You are simply placing in your energy field, and holding onto vibrations that have frequencies much different than the frequencies you feel when you feel good.
Hmmm, there is no source of cold, eh? I can guarantee you that if someone injected you with the Ebola virus, you’d die pretty quickly. And I’ll bet there are injections you can get that will cause the body to demonstrate the symptoms of cold. If there is no flu virus, for example, then why do so many people get it?
Well, ask yourself, how come you went 7 years without any sickness? There is flu and cold all around you, why did you not catch anything?
OK, but that doesn’t change the fact that there IS a source of flu and cold virus out there; it just means I am not a vibrational match to them anymore. You seem to be saying there is no actual physical cause for any disease, and I think that is just ridiculous.
Does it matter, really, whether there is a source of disease if you have the choice whether to experience it or not? Here is our answer: There is no SOURCE of disease, the disease is a symptom of the blocking off of life force energy. When you get the ‘flu’ you do not receive germs or viruses into the body, you go into agreement with the VERY powerful thought stream in mass consciousness of the flu. There is an incredibly complex and powerful template of thought associated with this illness: when the ‘flu virus’ hits, there is widespread agreement that certain manifestations will result, and those manifestations are well documented and very alive in the stream of thought connected with ‘flu.’
You are saying that ‘flu’ is simply the result of going with a thought stream? Are you joking?
We are not joking! This thought stream (especially the one connected with ‘flu’) is more powerful than you can imagine. Consciousness, as you point out in your essays, created the universe and can modify what is in it. When the ‘flu’ goes around everyone seems to get it, and then when flu season is over, the incidence of it goes down dramatically.
Yes, but I remember the time I got the flu in the middle of summer. How could my body become infected unless there was a source of it floating around somewhere?
This ‘flu’ you received was a disconnect from source energy. If you recall what was in your experience at that time, you will remember there were many self–critical thoughts, among them, an unworthy feeling connected with money and work. The ‘flu’ was the dominant thought stream in your consciousness regarding illness at the time, and so the ‘flu’ manifested that way in the cells of your body because it was a match to how you were feeling and thinking at the time. You will recall that your symptoms were mild and did not last long, because the activated vibration was not so powerful.
Well I don’t remember that, I’ll take your word on it. But I don’t accept that there is no such thing as a virus. They magnify them in microscopes and when they are injected into lab animals, all sorts of horrible effects occur.
We are not saying that that there is no such thing as the cellular mass which manifests and is called ‘virus.’ But the manifestation of that virus is brought about solely by the consciousness directing the cellular mass of the virus, and the thought stream of all of those exposed to the virus. The harmful effects caused by the virus are a perfect match to the thought stream of the virus and to the thoughts of those who are vibrationally resonating to the virus.
Look at what happens in those cases. First, the predominant vibration within the consciousness of the experimenter is concerned with disease or illness. Then the lab animal volunteers to be a part of the experiment, in a co–creative fashion. All concerned are agreeing that there is going to be sickness present in the lab animal. This knowing is very powerful because it has been offered over and over again so many times that there is complete certainty that something bad will result. Tissue from an ‘infected’ animal or from a culture is injected with results corresponding to the co–creation of all concerned.
So you’re saying that if the harmful virus was injected into the animal with the intention of all concerned that beneficial results would occur, that nothing bad would happen?
You are forgetting that the cells of the virus are also conscious. If the cells of the injected material were to change consciousness form one of ‘I am a killer’ to one of ‘I am a healer’ and if the experimenter and animal were both in agreement with that, then yes, different results would be obtained.
OK, this is getting too weird for me. I am feeling uncomfortable with this. How is the consciousness of the virus going to change? The virus IS what it is, you have said, because of its consciousness, which determines its cellular structure and its function when it enters the body.
Now you are beginning to see. The virus is manifested because of the thought stream of all concerned, do you see? When the thought stream is changed, then the cellular structure changes.
The virus mutates into something unharmful because the thought stream changes from one of sickness and disease to one of well–being. This is simply a manifestation of the effect of consciousness on matter and energy, which you like so much to point out in your essays. There have been many documented cases in your medical profession of tumors and illness simply transforming and full health restored to the patient. That is how it happens. You see, that is how disease manifests in the body and that is how release–from–disease occurs and that is how health occurs: it’s all about the allowance or dis-allowance of life force energy, and vibrational matching.
Holy moly. I sort of see it. I don’t know how you do it, but you manage to ‘spin’ all attempts at logical reasoning into something positive, every time.
(Laughs) Well, as always happens in these conversations, we just point out the inherently positive nature of the universe, consciousness, and life!
In your essays you are on the right track, but we do not think you really believe in everything you say. We think you still have some underlying thought and belief that pull you away from your own well–being.
OK, we/I got off the subject, I’m glad you brought me back around to it. We were talking about the ‘higher self’ and how physical beings can connect with it.
The best way to do this is think happy thoughts, reach for good feelings and focus upon what is wanted. Remember, you are creating and holding all unwanted vibrations within your field of consciousness. These block you off from feeling the pure positive energy of your full self. You do not have to DO anything to feel the energy of your higher self, it is there all of the time.
Wow. I guess I am satisfied for now, but I am going to read over this because it just seems to good to be true, or something… I don’t know…
We love you! We are done for now.
(Wow, that’s it I guess. I got a big surge of love energy and then like the Cheshire Cat, whose smile lingered on after it disappeared, I still feel a fuzzy good feeling within my entire being…)
The ‘Earth Plane’
From ‘Dialogues Conversations with My Higher Self’
Copyright © 2005 by Kenneth James Michael MacLean
So basically what you are saying is that there is no RIGHT answer.
That is correct! A right answer would be defined by many humans as something that has manifested, or that will be true forever. But it is possible to manifest anything from the potential. So everything has the potential to be right.
OK, I am beginning to see now. When we say someone is wrong, what we are saying is that he or she has not yet manifested his idea.
Or, that he has not gotten broad agreement from other humans upon that idea.
As more and more beings agree on ‘A,’ the more powerful is the drawing forth from the potential. The more who manifest ‘A,’ the more it is agreed upon as valid. Anything at all can be manifested, and is being manifested, in worlds and dimensions totally beyond your understanding! The universe is so vast and so wonderful! (Here I felt a powerful sensation. I can only describe it is a fresh breeze –– an exciting feeling of creative power).
So we can sum up by saying that life exists in a vast ocean of infinite potential, and that we can experience anything we want.
That is a good way to describe it. As a final thought, we would like to say: do not limit yourself! Use your creative power to joyfully manifest your dreams.
And also we would like to say: the universe is a joyful place! It is a place of indescribable beauty. If it were not, there would be no point in experiencing it. Humans love to struggle, but we assure you, that is not a concept shared throughout the all–that–is. But of course that is why this place is so interesting!
You are not here learning lessons. You came here to joyfully create and manifest!
I respectfully disagree. The earth is a place of pain and struggle! What’s the point of having a place like earth in a universe which you claim is one of joy? I have heard it said that earth is the dumping ground for negative stuff from everywhere in the universe, because no one knows what to do with it. I have also heard it said that human beings are like
We see you modified your thought from ‘I see so much pain and struggle’ to ‘there is so much pain and struggle.’ We know why you did this, and so do you: because when you begin to connect with the powerful energy of creation you begin to resonate more and more with joy, and in your life you begin to see more and more joy, more and more prosperity, and less and less struggle and pain. If the universe were a place of pain, this could never happen. The default condition everywhere in the universe, in all dimensions of perception, is joy, beauty, and love. These feelings are woven into the very fabric of existence.
‘Negative energy’ does not exist. What feels negative is just resistance to the positive life force.
When you get into trouble it is always because of your attention to it. Thoughts of unworthiness or self denial are not in consort with the true nature of consciousness.
Life force energy is pure and positive and comes with a feeling of well–being. The feeling of ‘negative energy’ is just the inherent nature of your very being screaming to you that your thoughts and beliefs and ideas about yourself are inconsistent with your very nature.
Yes, that’s very good, but why do so many struggle? A famous writer asserts that a controlling group of entities manipulate the thought–space around earth from a higher dimension. It does seem that mass consciousness is composed of mostly negative ideas and limiting beliefs.
The answer to this is that you may manifest anything you would like from the potential, and the Law of Attraction will bring to you beings, energies, and conditions to match your thoughts, beliefs and feelings. The state of affairs on planet earth is always an exact match to the collective consciousness of the beings upon it.
Yes, but if that consciousness were to be affected by others? By the insertion or ‘implantation’ of negative ideas in order to facilitate control and domination?
Again, only those thoughts, beliefs, energies and beings that have been invited can come to you. That is how the universe has been designed. The universe has been designed to allow all experiences, all thought, all feeling. This is a universe of free–will and attraction.
So you are saying that IF there are hostile beings from other planets or dimensions, we have invited them?
That’s right.
But do these off-planet beings exist? Are there beings (whom we invited) who are wreaking havoc with the potential around our planet?
Every being that is on, in or around the earth is here according to a ‘mix and match’ of vibrational intent. It is all in perfect balance, and in a constant change of flux. If the people of earth would like to change their collective experience, all that is necessary is to change thought, to choose differently.
What if I want to change my experience and the other 6 billion don’t?
Then your experience will change and theirs will not. Life is not a zero–sum game. You have touched on that in some of your essays. There is an infinite sea of potential which can be accessed from anywhere in the universe. Your prosperity is dependent upon how much you ask for it, and how much you allow it. The predominant belief on earth for most is one of scarcity.
Most do not ask for prosperity, thinking that it is not possible.
As we said to Esther, if you are healthy, do you deprive another of health? If you become ill, does the health you would have had transfer to someone else?
If you are intelligent, does that mean someone else must be stupid? Do you say, ‘I will be confused for a few weeks and allow others to be smart?’ It just doesn’t work that way! The universe is infinitely abundant in all things and in order to enjoy that abundance, all you must do is ask for it, and allow it to come to you.
OK. So the ‘earth is a prison and humans are the inmates and higher dimensional beings are the wardens’ is not true?
There are beings of all types and energies on, in and around your planet. There is no jail and warden scenario, because all of you have free will and can ask and receive anything you want. If you find yourself in prison, you have voluntarily committed yourself!
OK, I am really getting the idea. There is just free will.
Every time I say a negative, you turn it around and put a positive spin on it.
(Laughing) Well that is because the universe IS positive! Your negative ideas are just resistance to the natural, inherent, benign state of the universe!
From ‘Dialogues Conversations with My Higher Self’

You have said before that the same consciousness may focus into more than one physical body (see p 82 ). How does that work? ‘Personalities’ in non-physical must therefore be ‘greater’ than personalities in physical. You gave the analogy of an amoeba extending itself to absorb a particle, bit I didn’t really understand that. Does a non-physical being divide itself into ‘pieces’ or is it that just a part of itself focuses into each body?
Imagine that on a foggy morning you leave your windows open. When you return from work, the entire house is filled with a fine mist. You may say that the kitchen contains ‘kitchen mist’ and that the living room has ‘living room mist’ and the bedrooms have ‘bedroom mist,’ but it is all the same ‘stuff!’ At the same time, the mist IS experiencing a different environment depending upon where it is situated. Or perhaps you might imagine a pool of water. Now imagine some of the water in the pool flowing in separate streams into smaller basins. Is the water in the pool different from the water in the basins?
OK, I see. It’s just a flowing of consciousness from one place to the other.
Not even so much as that, as simply an extension of that which flowed. The extensions now get to experience completely differently, then when they unfocus from the body and return, there is a fuller, more expansive being as a result of the new experiences.
Ok, so the purpose of the extending is to experience from more and more different viewpoints. Is that how personalities develop?
Personalities develop by deciding to BE in a certain way. These different decisions to BE create a unique vibration, which is, of course, changing in every moment as new thought and new decisions come forth. As a being has new experiences, it makes new conclusions or preferences. The difference between personalities, both here and on earth, can be stated by asking the question, ‘What does [___] like?’ The process of changing being–ness and thought occurs both in physical and in non–physical personalities. Non–physical personalities extend into physical bodies and experience further. The whole process is a continual expansion, new decisions about how to be and experience are made all the time, so there is constant changing, constant excitement! Oh, we in non-physical are eager to communicate with others and to experience for ourselves how they are changing, growing, and expanding! It is so much fun and sometimes we just overflow with zest, like the child who knows he is going to get a new bike and he sees something wrapped up in the garage and knows it is for him and he can’t wait to get in there and rip off the packaging! He is just BURSTING with anticipation and enthusiasm! That is how it feels like in non-physical.
Wow! I can feel that! I still don’t get what’s so special about earth. For most of us, our time here is spent in disconnection, or in boredom, or in just trying to ‘survive.’ Granted there are many who are creating in wonderful ways, but it seems that so many of us are leading lives of uninteresting monotony.
Oh, you have no idea how it is! Those who are living the furthest from their desires are asking, in the most powerful way, that things get better. Remember the beach ball in the swimming pool last summer. You held it underneath the water and then let it go, whereupon it exploded out of the water with a big splash. These intense bursts of desire impinge very strongly within the species consciousness, and are felt throughout the universe! Those who you pity as being stuck are in fact the most powerful creators of change.
That’s great for you guys in native state, but I feel sorry for the poor guy in that situation! Granted he is desiring very strongly that things should be better, but at the same time he is not in a position to allow it to come to him. Sounds to me like a lot of sacrificing and suffering of the individual to benefit the whole.
No, it is not like that at all…
Gotta disagree with you there — we are here in the frying pan and you are out there watching in comfort. We are directly experiencing, whereas you are only focusing into our lives when you desire.
Your point of view is similar to a social worker who goes into the life of someone having a bad time, then gets to leave at the end of the day to her nice house in the suburbs.
I can assure you, its no fun being the guy who is experiencing all of that, rockets of desire or no! There is something about the physical experience that you can never understand unless you are actually living it.
We understand what you are saying, but we want to tell you that you would not miss that experience for anything! This is something we really want you to get –– there is no such thing as losing –– you come to earth from a place of joy and you return to a place of joy and in between you have the opportunity to experience powerfully and deliciously while in your physical bodies. What you experience is up to you, but when you return (‘die’), you will experience the most intense, incredible, powerful, magnificent feeling that you have ever felt, all because of the fact that you were focused so intensely and resisting so strongly.
And we have to tell you, there are some who come to earth solely for the experience of returning to native state! The feeling is so delicious, you see! The more disconnected you are on earth, the more powerful the release. And when that release happens –– it is indescribable. It is –– powerfully awesome (words inadequate to express the feeling)! So there is no losing and that is why we celebrate with you when you are most disconnected –– because we know that every one of those powerful yucky experiences not only make the good times that much better, but also will make your transition so much more powerfully positive! Do you see what we are getting at?
Damn, Yes I get it. Every time I think I have you guys cold you come up with some twist to make it positive! I have to admit I can feel what you just said — your energy was so powerful there, I can’t wait almost to make my own transition!
Well not so fast there –– you still want to accomplish some things.
Thanks!

Postscript – After reviewing this session, I feel somehow that they ducked my question!
What good does it do the guy who suffers to feel pain so that others may benefit?
The answer is that a person experiences and manifests precisely according to his or her choices. That is the long and the short of it. To humans it might seem brutal and unfair, but we assure you that free will and the law of ‘like attracts like’ operate everywhere in the universe, and apply to physical and non–physical beings alike!
Thank you. Seems pretty brutal.
It is NOT brutal! It is totally fair. Your choices have meaning and determine your experiences. This is the only way to make the playing field equal for ALL beings!
OK, I think I understand.
RESISTANCE-WHAT YOU RESIST PERSISTS
Your energy and your replies are uniformly positive. You refuse utterly to have anything to do with a negative thought. I keep waiting for you to explain why things are so bad and you always say, in so many words, that the inherent nature of the universe is positive and joyful. This seems a little biased and one–sided to me.
(Laughs) Of course! We never go where you like to go, into disconnection. We are, as humans like to say, ‘there for you.’ We are always here in our vibration of joy and well–being, for in that way we can hold the higher vibrations for you to access. The universe is positive and benign (smiles); there is nowhere in the universe a source of negativity. You may choose to believe and feel as negative as you please but we will never go there with you!
OK, so you don’t go there because that is not the nature of reality.
Well, reality is whatever you create for yourself! But we choose not to create for ourselves a place of bad feeling. We always choose love, beauty, excitement, joy, anything that feels good, because feeling good is the inherent, natural state for any native state entity.
I’m starting to get it. It is possible to create for ourselves a life of joy, or of pain. It’s up to us.
Yes! It is easy to create a life of joy and a lot of hard work to create a life of misery. That is because pain and misery is a resistance to the natural flow of life force energy (do you feel it? yes!) and in order to create pain and misery continuously, you must continually resist. In other words, you create the vibration (feeling) of pain and misery in every moment, in opposition to the natural flow of benign source energy. We understand why you do this! There are so many things in the world that you would not in a million years wish to experience; and so, in an attempt to ensure that none of it comes into your experience, you begin to fight against it. The ‘War on Poverty,’ the ‘War on Drugs,’ and the ‘War on Terrorism’ are just a few examples of the attempt to change something by resisting it; but what always happens is that the more you resist something not wanted, the more attention you give to it, and the more it comes into your experience; this is the Law of Attraction at work.
To feel wonderful, all you have to do is receive! Just open up, allow, and receive bliss! In order to experience pain and misery you must at every moment set up a vibration in opposition to that which is not wanted, cutting off the flow of life force energy. And it is a lot of work! Just think about it for a moment. For every bad feeling you place a resistant vibration towards some life experience. If you have 10 things you worry about, you are consciously creating at least 10 vibrations in opposition to something in your life. That is the only way bad feelings are ever created! You are doing it –– there is no outside evil force imposing itself into your experience. This is sometimes hard to accept because no one wants to hear that he or she is fully empowered and has decided to feel rotten anyway. Each blessed one knows he or she would never want that!
Why do you do this? Because you believe you have to! Because you believe that in order to feel good it is first necessary to struggle and suffer. If it is too easy, you say it is not worthwhile! While it certainly does feel wonderful when your battle is over and you can relax again, but it is not necessary to experience pain in order to achieve joy. The two are opposite vibrations!
The more you focus on things that make you feel bad, the worse you will feel. The more you focus on things that make you feel good, the better and better you will feel. It is really simple! You are always in control of your vibration and your life experience. If you ponder this for a while and actually start to apply it in your life, you will find out how empowering it is. You will become more and more the person you know, deep down inside, that you really want to be.
But why would anyone want to do that (resist the positive)?
(Laughing). Ask yourself! You have been pretty good at it, haven’t you? You called yourself a noted authority upon the subject! It is only very recently that you have been able to let go of your resistance and experience more joyfully.
It is hard to feel bad, it is easy to feel good. That’s all you have to remember.
It takes action in opposition to the inherent nature of the universe to feel bad; all that is necessary to feel good is to let it in!
OK, it takes me a while but I’m getting it. There is never any need to feel bad about anything.
Worrying about something activates that in your vibration; the universe, by the law of ‘like attracts like’ immediately begins responding, so if you want more of what you are worrying about to manifest, keep on worrying!
What you pay attention to will eventually come to you. That is just a basic law of the universe.
OK. thanks!
