Seth… Good evening, it is always a pleasure to have all of you here with me again this evening. We shall start with a small bit of housekeeping. Kaetorina your next reading assignment are volumes one and two of the Unknown Reality. When you get your hands on both volumes, we shall discuss time limits.
That being stated we shall continue with our belief vs. faith topic. All individuals no matter what their soul age come to the physical plane to experience! These experiences always have obstacles or difficulties if you will in your path. There would be very little profit if the only thing that you came to experience was a slice of chocolate cake or a warm sunshiny day. This is not what the physical plane provides. These obstacles of course present various degrees of difficulty. Some individuals have the belief system that they can avoid them by either ignoring the problem or plowing through it. Both ideas are certainly not profitable. The difficulty here lies in the fact that when faced with difficulty fear, disappointments are primary players in how most individuals respond to their obstacles. The question then arises since anger is not helpful, what can one do to alleviate the situation? One of the few profitable ideas that your therapists have come up with is the simple task of learning to be quiet.
Using this concept, one understands that being gentle is the most profitable solution for most difficulties. Let me give you an example. A strong wind that blasts against a rock face will at times break off some pieces of that rock. Snowstorms and severe wind, hail, ice, rain will in the long run have little effect but the gentle flow of water running down will erode even the hardest stone. Examples here may be seen in the American West with areas such as the Grand Canyon. The gentle nature that one must possess must stem from within. When confronted with any difficulty it is important to remember that even your sports such as the Marshal Arts teaches gentleness as a way to use an opponents strength against himself.
When a difficulty is rushing towards you how profitable is it to try to stop the onslaught? Would it not be more profitable to simply step aside and let the difficulty play itself out? The gentle nature of your character must be found within your faith systems. The primary one of course is love. When you are angry there is a fear-based system that is operating. You cannot even love yourself under these circumstances. One must understand that with any obstacle your first choice must always be to promote yourself. If you do not have faith in yourself then how can you change what you see as a problem? Most individuals tend to repeat the same problems over and over again. They do this because they have not learned to be kind with themselves. They shift from their point of power to a weakened position. Their routine cry, “Why is this happening to me?” is often heard, followed by “I cannot understand why all of this seems to be repeating itself.”
There is an old expression that is somewhat universal “The meek shall inherit the earth.” This bit of information has been misunderstood for far too long. Most individuals believe that they have an inability to stand up for themselves. They “turn the other cheek.” It should be noted that I am not suggesting that you become a doormat and have individual’s step on you or over you, but you will learn to become strong by being gentle. An example here with the following idea. Most individuals know that a snowflake has little weight and has almost no strength at all yet the massive glaciers in your northern and southern hemispheres that during your ice ages, carved and shaped your planet as you now know it were made from small, insignificant snowflakes. There is great power within every individual. One must learn to channel your power in a manner that is not threatening to yourself or others. This is having faith in yourself. This is the inner strength that most individuals desperately need.
One of the ideas to a gentle approach is the concept of taking a suggestion. Far too many souls who inhabit the physical plane ask for advice but do not listen. These suggestions should not necessarily become law in one’s own mind but if you are going to ask for advice then the question one must first ask is that of self. Do you already know what to do or are you hiding from the true path of enlightenment? Individuals who seek enlightenment have a belief system that they search for and seek out information from others. They do not isolate themselves from information that they may use in whatever manner they find appropriate.
When a soul seeks information from another and then repeatedly asks the same question from that other individual or worse yet from numerous individuals one must question our original soul’s concept of the problem. If your chance encounters and answers to your question point you in the same direction, then one must come to the conclusion that the path of enlightenment has been clearly defined. (Problems often repeat. Chance encounters are messages from the universe to give you direction. They often come from strangers. An example of a chance encounter would be repeatedly getting your coffee served wrong until you learn to “gently” stand up for yourself. Another example of a chance encounter would be a Chinese fortune cookie that really hits the mark. Paying attention to patterns that repeat and asking questions and listening for answers is a good methodology to grow and work through obstacles. F.N.) When you choose to overlook and certainly not accept these facts then this is a clear indication that the major problem that you are facing is yourself. You certainly cannot love yourself if you cannot listen to what is being said.
If you cannot listen your emotions are out of control. Your fear about any difficulty is growing and you will find that you have very little control over your own thoughts and actions. One of the ideas that one must understand is that for centuries individuals who inhabit the physical plane have imbued power to objects. In olden times and even today they are called talismans. An example of one such talisman was that of the pet rock. Individuals believed that this rock would be calm and soothing. They gave it the power to be so. When used properly there is nothing wrong in doing this but one must come to the inevitable conclusion that you are in control of your own emotions. YOU ARE THE CREATOR!
If one takes the responsibility for their own creations and is not afraid of what surrounds them your gentle nature will allow the faith in self to emerge victorious. It is important to understand that one must take control not only of themselves but of situations that are causing difficulty for yourself. One of the ideas that individuals forget simply put is the idea of I don’t have to. If you believe that when you are facing a problem, you have to do something then of course you are limiting your own ability to promote yourself. In reality you have relinquished control of the problem and are looking for someone else to take charge. This individual has a belief system that does not favor themselves. They inherently believe that someone else has the answers. They are afraid to confront their own fears. They believe that their destiny is out of control. They choose not to “fight” for that which promotes them.
One of the ideas that I would like to leave you with this evening is the concept of removing fear. If you remove fear from the equation of a problem and understand that certain problems will have a positive outcome and others will not but as in any scientific experiment the negative result is often more profitable than the positive one. A negative outcome clearly shows the path that one should avoid. The more paths that you can avoid by learning and experiencing the greater the profit at the end of your incarnation. How you choose to remove the fear is in reality part of the difficulty that you face. Each individual must come to the conclusion that they themselves must be able to find their own path.
The final concept is that of balance. One must always be able to balance your desires against others. How do your problems affect others? Are you moving away from that which is profitable or are you trying? (Isabella and Stephanie went upstairs to discuss something. This break lasted over 40 minutes. Seth never came back so we ended the session.)
