Belief vs. Faith, Never Deprive Anyone of Hope and Learning to Say No Properly
Tuesday December 8, 2009
8:35 PM
Seth … It is always a pleasure to have all of you here with me again this evening. I have spoon fed the man through whom I speak the following. Kaetorina please read the following one item at a time, and I will tell you when to read the next item.
- Never deprive anyone of hope, because it could be the only thing that, that person owns.
- Learn to say no – properly
- Learn to lose a battle so that you can win the war.
- Own your mistakes – tell the truth always even if you diminish yourself.
- Learn to praise people – don’t criticize them
- Learn control – even if it means backing away
- Be honest, earn people’s respect.
- Shed hate and rancor, they hurt you more than they do others.
- Work for happiness – simple things are your food.
Kaetorina please read the letter A. Under our larger topic of belief vs. faith it is important to realize that each individual has certain hopes, desires and feelings about a great many things. An example here. Many times, your physicians inform patients that they are terminal and that they have only 2 to 3 months left on their incarnation, so I ask the following question how many times these individual souls do last for years? Hope is one of the strongest allies that nourish a soul’s existence. It is the driving force that causes individuals to seek greatness. Simply put an individual who does not possess hope has only belief systems to work with. Obviously, this can be disastrous, not only for the individual but for the others who come into contact with that individual.
When you have a closed system such as belief, everything depends upon everything working out correctly. There is no margin for error. There is no possibility for change in these circumstances, simply put you are quite rigid not only in your thinking but in your actions. Most commonly these individuals wall themselves off from others. They do not allow for flexibility. Their viewpoints will never allow themselves to view themselves as incomplete or as wanting. These individuals look at the physical plane as a challenge. They most commonly feel that they must win in most situations. Losing and backing away from a problem are extremely difficult for these individuals. The reason here is due to the fact that these individuals instinctively know that they have no hope of success. They prefer to blame others routinely for their own failures. They do not allow for an equitable give and take between people.
Individuals with this type of belief system always feel that they are being victimized by one party or another. They instinctively believe that the universe does not provide them with enough. When questioned these individuals, will fight against this idea even unto the “death.” Please note I do not literally mean to the end of an incarnation. Since these types of individuals have given up hope, the only thing that is left is fear and hatred. They fear themselves and hate others for being able to move forward as they are left further and further behind. Despair is the key phrase that surrounds these types of individuals.
Individuals who have a faith system of belief are open ended. Even when they have nothing or live in poverty their faith in themselves and others grants them happiness. They know that the physical plane is a place for introspection of self as well as of the area in which they inhabit. These types of individuals seek to expand their knowledge. They enjoy that which they can see. Material objects play a small part in their day-to-day existence, and their great hope is that they may be able to share happiness with all those that they come in to contact with. These individuals enjoy the challenge of day-to-day existence. They first challenge themselves to prosper and they grant others the opportunity for their own growth and development. They hope that they can provide inspiration to others even if they have very little for themselves.
Individuals that possess these qualities use hope as the driving force for their life’s work. They hope to provide something more not only to themselves but to others. These individuals look forward; they incorporate opportunities whenever they can. No obstacle is too large; no problem is too small that they would prefer to ignore it. These individuals have a faith system that allows them to see the sunshine even in the blackest of night. These types of individuals never need to win. In simplistic terms they are glad just to be in the race. Winning is unimportant since they know that knowledge and experience are all that truly matters. Individuals of this nature accept failure as a simple learning experience and hope to improve on their own performance. These individuals are commonly old souls since they look and understand that there is always something higher and that knowledge is all that truly matters. There is never a question in their minds that hope springs eternal. These types of individuals know that the following simple phrase is true; actions speak louder than words since hope pushes one forward in a quiet direct manner. It is the sense of inspiration that allows for greatness even under the most adverse circumstances.
Our second idea is that one must learn to say no – properly. In any belief system there are numerous times that individuals must refuse another’s wishes. It is unfortunate that these individuals commonly become angry and bothered on both sides of this equation. A clear example of this is seen by the individual who constantly asks for favors. Would you please do this or that and rarely if ever returns that which they have “stolen.” Their belief system is so regimented that they weigh and measure another by how many favors they can do. They inflict themselves upon others. Please get this for me; can you carry that; would you do this for me? The premise of their existence is simply put as I can’t. These individuals have very little “like” for themselves. They are easily distracted from their true purpose. They do not see themselves as capable of effort. They would prefer to have others do for them instead of doing for others. Their hope is that another will not notice the fact that they are taking advantage of everyone around them.
These individuals always try to convert others to their way of thinking. They routinely point out other’s failures. They force others to become their partner in crime. A vast majority of these individuals use others to justify their own positions. These individuals are afraid to be alone since being alone would force them into looking at themselves. Fear dominates their existence. These individuals would rather blame others for their failure than to examine themselves at any point of reference. They refuse routinely to participate in actions where there is a fair give and take. They do not know how to say no in a proper manner.
Individuals who have a belief system victimize themselves. In contrast, individuals with a faith system understand that a refusal to do something is often beneficial not only to themselves but to others. Examples abound, the parent who will not do the child’s report and allows the child to fail has done more for the child than could ever be imagined. The individual who does not loan money to let us say another or family member literally forces that individual soul to grow even if that soul finds it difficult to find the wherewithal to improve their lot. Individuals with this type of a faith system look at the physical plane and understand that it is perfectly acceptable to disappoint another if done properly. They do not shut out others who required their assistance. They do not allow themselves to be drawn into situations where they cannot prosper. These individuals understand the value of saying no properly. There is no benefit to always saying yes. This system of belief requires patience and tolerance. Their faith in themselves is unlimited. These individuals view and understand areas where they may intrude and areas where they cannot. Unfortunately, most individuals do not have the patience or tolerance to say no properly. They would rather victimize another by forcing their will upon anyone who will listen. Faith in refusal is a powerful weapon in the arsenal of an advanced soul. They refuse with dignity and allow the other soul to understand their position. Each of you must learn to strive to say no properly so that you will benefit from your actions as well as from another.
I have covered 2 out of my 9 segments. I will obviously continue on at our next meeting.
At this point we shall take a break. (9:19 PM)
Seth … Let us continue. We hope that we have given you a great deal to contemplate, therefore are there any questions?
Betty… Would someone have aspects of all of these?
Seth… It is obvious that for most individuals it would be impossible to have only one side of these concepts since you are a mixture of many different and creative ideas. One must understand that unless you are an old soul on level 6 or 7 you will always have a mixture to some extent of these concepts. Please note that none of you who sit around the table this evening are anywhere close to this level of maturity. Betty, are you satisfied?
Betty… Yes.
Seth… Any other questions? If not the homework assignment for each of you is to come up with at least 3 valid questions on these subjects. What we will do at the beginning of our next session is to have each of you read into the session itself all of your questions. This is far too important to allow any of you off that easily.
Let me leave you with this. Learning to say no when used properly will allow you to give hope to all individuals and in doing so their needs will be met and their wants lessened. A hearty good evening to all.
(Session ended at 9:39 PM)
