Free Will
The gift that we are given in the human experience is what we call free will, free will being the ability to choose. In order to have the ability to choose, we must have the illusion of opposites. As we gain in awareness, we recognize that there is a reality beyond the dualism, beyond the opposing extremes. There has been a thrust within the so-called movement of enlightenment to escape the dualism, yet it is these extremes through which we are given the ability to make choices. The ability to choose is one of the steps in realizing Self as Co-creator with that which I will call The Grand Creator. As you begin to experience yourself as co-creator with The Grand Creator, you realize that it has been the ability to choose which enabled you to understand the mechanics of energy manipulation. How can you understand how to create entire universes unless you understand how you create a physical existence? Or how you create the manifestation of your day to day activities? Your mundane life is your creation through the manipulation of energy, by making choices. At this point, most choices are made "unconsciously". You do not know with the thinking, reasoning mind that you have made a choice. You do know at the Soul level, however, that you have made this choice or that choice, whatever the choice may be. So free will is actually the playing field through which we come to understand that we are creators. Therefore, all choice is a gift, whether one chooses consciously or unconsciously, whether one chooses what is termed pain, or suffering, or the negative end of the spectrum; or the positive end of the spectrum. The judgement must be removed from the act of choosing. Everyone, each and every individual inhabiting a human form will move toward choosing the positive end of the spectrum as it could be called, as they move toward understanding that they are co-creators, creators of their reality, of their very existence, of all that they perceive. The "next step" in evolution, for what is called humanity, is a reality with another set of choices. Choices having to do with expressing oneself in multi-dimensional form, but that's a whole other subject. In terms of people's physical, emotional, mental and spiritual experience on this playing field, in this reality, when a soul is experiencing the various aspects of choice, at times it will choose what is considered the negative end of the spectrum. At other times it will choose the positive end of the spectrum, and every degree in between. Those that call themselves healers can work in either end of the spectrum and anywhere in between. When people wish to experience something on the positive end of the spectrum and change an experience that is in the negative end of the spectrum, they may seek someone for assistance in aligning with that energy and that someone can assist them in realizing the manifestation of their choice. Jane: "I have noticed the people that come to me are of a different vibration than most people because negative people don't come to me for healing. It seems to be people who are more aware of natural healing and spirits." OK. You operate on what is termed the positive end of the spectrum. There are those who operate on what is termed the negative end of the spectrum and they too serve a purpose and have a place that is a choice. Jane: "I don't draw those people to me." No, you do not, because you will only draw to you that which harmonizes with you, however, you do not wish to take away the choice, or to invalidate choice, or you invalidate the very purpose of the particular dimensional reality. The thing that seems to be affecting many of you ilk, is that there is the perception of a shift to another dimensional reality that does not have the same realm of choice. Many are perceiving a reality that does not include the same good/evil scenario that is on this dimensional reality. As you separate from this particular plane of demonstration and move toward the next level or plane of demonstration you feel removed from this one and its participants. There is overlapping of realities and sometimes it feels odd. Simply acknowledge this overlapping, and offer your light to the plane that we shall call third, as you move from third to fifth. This movement from third to fifth can be a gradual process. Fourth dimension is a springboard to fifth and is not meant to be a plane of demonstration where beings spend a great deal of time as you know it. Why do you think consciousness resides in your head? Where does consciousness reside? Jane answers "in your heart." Wrong. It does not reside in the body. The consciousness that you identify as the body is simply focused attention from your Self which is everywhere present. You do not occupy what you label time and space. You are everywhere present al once in all time. It is called Now. A Course In Miracles calls it the Holy Instant. It is also called the Eternal Moment. You focus attention toward a physical form and thus animate it, create it, including the emotional and mental bodies. All these "bodies" that make up your existence are a result of focused attention, like a beam of light from a "higher" aspect of You. Let's call this "You" the Total Self. Total Self projects focus, and has attention on, an existence called a life. The life, or personality point is attempting to become aware of Total Self point. Total Self already knows the personality self. The personality is working on becoming aware of Total Self. As personality becomes aware of Total Self, the intensely focused energy is no longer a narrow beam of light focused from Total Self to personality. It begins to expand and personality becomes aware of being a wide flood light rather than a narrow beam of light. Personality becomes aware not only of Total Self, but of co-existing points of consciousness that come from the same Total Self. It has even occurred on some occasions where this narrowly focused beam of light has met with one of the other narrowly focused beams of light that was actually part of the wide beam of light from the Total Self. Total Self is aware of the narrow beam of light personality, and conversely, is becoming aware of itself from the point of view of the personality. As the personality becomes aware and the focused energy is less restricted and constricted, it may seem as if the personality is not as focused in this reality. That is because it is not! Comments: Point of consciousness is a result of focused attention directed from who we really are. Little pinpoint of focus is looking at who we really are, getting an idea of it, but not able to get a big enough picture to see it. It's like looking through a telescope backwards. We gets bits and pieces of the total picture. When we go through periods of not wanting to be here, it's because we are frustrated by being aware of our Total Self but have no tools to perceive It in Its entirety. It's like sensing the universe but having only the tools to experience a tiny little box within the universe. Free will = choice. Choice = the gift. It's not about going from negative to positive. We experience it all, then we move on. We choose where and what we're going to experience on the spectrum. The field of negative/positive is where we experience choice. If we say negative is bad and positive is good, as a judgement, then we take power away from choice and make choice wrong, which means we invalidate free will and therefore make "God" wrong, since "God" created free will. Free will requires parameters and each of us will experience all points of expression within those parameters in order to complete this reality or plane of demonstration. If we invalidate the negative, we invalidate our experiences on that end of the spectrum, and therefore invalidate ourselves. If we invalidate ourselves. well, we all know what that one means. Love is just as present in the negative as it is in the positive. We think the way to get beyond the negative/positive experience is to move from negative to positive then beyond. Actually, we embrace the entirety of the negative/positive spectrum and then move beyond. As healers we don't get caught up in the "issue" being healed. The healing is allowing the experience of love to empower us to create and manifest another choice. Healing is not about getting rid of the pain. It's about changing the choice. ~
