You have been taught that you must follow the rules of the 'real world' so you can 'get ahead'. We tell you now that these are not the rules and getting ahead is not your purpose and this world in which you struggle is not the real world. It is a dream - a nightmare of your own making.
As Amy is experiencing new clarity around the dreams which are with us and the dreams which are not with us, she is also aware that even when she is awake she is still engaged in a process of dreaming.
So are you called, each in your own way. You are called by your own interests and curiosity and active engagement with dreaming the world. You are receiving our message all the time, each in your own way. As Amy’s way includes ‘poet’ and ‘messenger’ and also ‘artist’, her ways of curiosity will lead her to messaging, language, communication, to art and the creative process.
So, in your way, will you be called toward the things that are in alignment with your way: your [genuine] interests will always reflect who you are. If your way is ‘builder’, you will naturally be curious about construction and making, materials and design, balance and engineering. As a child, you will have been interested in these things and now, as an adult, too. Follow this interest, this curiosity and it will lead to joy.
Not sure of your way? You will find this in the things that you are curious about. And we will discuss this throughout the project.
The flow is a dance between sender and receiver
As we and Amy are learning together to flow this information, the offering and the receiving of the flow is like a dance between the sender and receiver - and as we practice each day, so it becomes easier and there is less and less need for Amy to interrupt the flow with concerns. So it will be for you as you practice the dance of listening and following, of sensing for and reaching toward joy.
Amy is coming to trust us and we are understanding her ways. We invite her now to bring her questions as they arise, and we will respond and in this way we will create the give and take, the ebb and flow of a natural conversation. And again, we invite the reader’s questions, as well.
Amy asks how to modulate the speed and intensity of the flow -
She asks: “The guidance comes and comes and I can’t keep up. How do I stop it and how do I start it? Also, why do the answers arrive as soon as I ask the questions? It’s as if they are one … thing. Can you speak of that, too. Because even as I ask you begin to answer, and this overwhelms me. I am used to having space between Q and A - a pause, a rest. Can you address this, please?”
Yes and we are aware of this in you and that is the reason for this book, which is for you and for the reader. We have said that this is a 'practice book' to en-train you to a new, more comfortable way of receiving our message and guidance.
You can modulate the flow of our message by simply asking. We flow at any speed you wish.
It feels important to clarify that the guides are not in charge of the back and forth of these transmissions. This is a relationship - a cooperative, shared encounter which we create together. Your encounter with the guides will be different from mine. It will take on the qualities of your unique way of communicating, receiving, processing and integrating information.
Their message continues:
You spoke earlier of the gift of imagery and this is what we will explain now.
The gift of imagery means that you are one who can ‘see’ our message, which can create in you the illusion that you are ‘split’ - as if there are two of you: one who is asking and one who is answering. One who is sending messages and one who is receiving them. And this is the illusion of duality and must be addressed, understood, healed, and forgiven. This is the perception of a ‘seam’ of separation between self and other, which we are in the process of revealing, re- storing and re-integrating to wholeness with this work.
There is no seam between us. We are one flow.
Notice that you ‘see’ yourself as having a constant conversation in your mind, debating the merits of ‘this’ and ‘that’ choice – as if you were standing at a switching station. As if you were a train, endlessly having to choose a track. This illusion (impression/image) is produced by your resistance to let joy lead you. You make the ‘switching station’ out of thin air with the thought that you could make a bad or wrong choice - which you cannot.
And so our message is the same: All is one and all is well. A message we have been streaming since the day of your birth. All is one means that we are not separate from each other. All is well means that nothing is wrong.
You are not in danger and it is only misunderstanding that makes you stop at the switching station and get stuck there, endlessly arguing with your self, endlessly making up your mind which choice to take.
And you ARE ‘making up’ your mind
The words ‘making up your mind’ are a perfect expression of what is happening. You are making up the ‘other self’ - inventing it and then arguing with it. instead of imagining yourself as “two parts of me” who are arguing over which choice to make, we suggest that you think of yourself as one fountain, endlessly flowing. This is a more accurate representation of what is really going on - an image more supportive to who and what you are.
The image you hold of who and what you are shapes your experience. Like a blueprint, it guides the forces that build and deliver experience. Like the picture out of which a 3-D printer builds an object, so the image you hold in your mind’s eye directs outcome, as it is shaped and then birthed.
You create the image (of self) and the field of wholeness responds, in partnership. In support of the image you make.
The field of wholeness responds to the image you hold. Yes, indeed - for you are the birthplace of joy and the birthplace of suffering - and what you hold as your focal point will express itself through you.
This is not to say that your suffering is your fault. It is, however, yours to change. Yours to re-imagine. You have been taught that life is a struggle from cradle to grave. We are here to teach you that life is a blessing.
This is a challenging concept, we know, for when you have been living as if life is a struggle, it will be hard to see, imagine or believe it could be otherwise. Yet the world in which you struggle is not the real world. It is but one imagining, one dream.
You have been taught that you must follow the rules of the 'real world' so you can 'get ahead'. We tell you now that these are not the rules and getting ahead is not your purpose and this world in which you struggle is not the real world. It is a dream - a nightmare of your own making.
The real world is one endless blessing, a singular field of love and peace. And we are here to meet you as you awaken from the nightmare you have made. We are here to invite you to imagine a new world. And so, we invite you to set the old world down.
Set the old world down. And feel the weight of that world melt from your shoulders. Feel the pressure to get ahead ease from your heart. There is no requirement that you carry this. No requirement that you get ahead — ahead of another, ahead of the curve, ahead of the game.
There is no game. Set down the weight and the struggle, the rules and the game Set it down. Set it down. Set it all down and walk away.
We will meet you at the crossing point, the edge between the world that you know and the new world that you can only imagine. And we say to you now, if you can imagine it that world is already here. It is already forming in your mind’s eye, already activating your heart, already awakening your longing, for as you see it, as you dream it, so it will be. As you dream it, the responsive forces of our co-creative world will, like a 3D printer, begin to make it so.
Everything begins in the imaginal.
Now, we see you hesitate - and we know that what we say brings you up against the bindings of the old world that you have made out of rules and the fear of condemnation. For this reason, we will move slowly and we will answer any and all questions that you bring.
For this the way:
Follow joy. One step at a time.
Release [gradually, at your own pace] the old names and ideas of the self which emerged (were born into) a world in the state of fear.
Align now to the new story: this is a world of love in which all that emerges before you is love.
The door to the new story — and the new world is always before you. The realization: “all that I look upon is blessed” is the key.
this realization unlocks, the New World
You step inside and the truth opens around you. You are inside of this truth, inside of a new world.
