Art and manifestation session

[Alex]

That was a pretty intense session, I don't know about the rest of you guys but I felt a strong boost of positive and creative energy. I feel a lot more motivated right now, I think this kind of work is the medicine we need and we should do it all again sometime... I had a conversation with myself (im not going to say with god, but it could have been a higher aspect of myself).

Here 'tis

Stream of consciousness
I am sitting here waiting for something profound.
Something profound.
I found the profoundity, its already here. No need to look, its here already.
So what is this profoundity, if its here already, why can't I see it.
Because you look to hard, look closer, you'll see...
See it?
Feel it?
Its there within you
Love
Light
Peace
Happiness
What can be more profound that that?
TV?
Science?
Astronomy?
What good is life without peace, love, happiness and wellbeing?
Do you wish to suffer forever.
Of course not.
Then shut up and be positive.
How.
Quit asking how and just do it you fool.
Ok ok thats not very nice.
But its true, you think too much.
Just let it flow, and go with the flow.
Try not to swim upstream.
Just go with the flow.
Where do you want to be in your life, are you there yet?
what's stopping you?
You think with your brain too much, not enough following your heart.
What does your heart want?
Peace
Love
Happiness
Light
Love
Peace
Happiness
You want to crawl back into your mothers womb to feel the security of having no responsibility?
no.
That is what it sounds like.
what do you really want?
To experience new things
to create
to enjoy
to be myself, to express all that is within me, to make a difference to my life and the lives of all the people who surround me
And to do so in a peaceful, loving way.
So what are your wishes, your material desires for this incarnation?
Do you want to be rich with lots of money and things?
Yes, why not?
Why not indeed, if this is what you want, then do it.
Ok, but how.
Just think about it, think about it all the time, base every action on this thing.
But what if its not what I really want?
What do you really want?
I want to be able to have enough money to not worry about if I want a cool new car or some music gear.
I want to learn to write music.
I want to create exciting new things.
I want to invent.
What would you invent?
Something useful that makes life on earth better for everyone.
And makes me rich in the process.
Ah you want to be famous
No
Just sufficiently financially endowed in order to be able to afford to play with everything the world has to offer. To travel, to learn, to buy experiences.
And also I wish to have the simple things in life.,
I desire love and companionship.
you want a lot of things
Yes I do. I want a full life, I don't want to waste a moment.
This is why you never sleep.
Yes.
Can I do this and keep my health?
Yes
how?
Just will it, and it will be so. You have the power to do anything at all in your life, you just have to imagine having it and it will be granted to you.
Can I levitate.
No.
Why not.
Thats one of the rules.
Ah so there are restrictions?
Yes.
Why?
It wouldn't be a game otherwise.
A game?
Yes, life is a game.
You can't have a game without rules.
So the laws of physics, they are the rules of the game?
Yes.
Can they be altered?
Yes
How
Not by you.
Who by?
Everyone.
Everyone must agree on a change of rules, otherwise it wouldn't be fair.
Fair?
Yes, everyone is playing the game their way, if we suddenly change the rules, and they don't know about it, it changes everything, gives you an unfair advantage.
Oh ok.
This sounds kinda silly
Why?
I don't know.
Maybe its true
is it true?
Yes it is true.
Ok. So what if I don't want to play anymore
Then leave
Just like that
Yup
But what will bring me back?
The only thing that brings you back is if you still want to play.
Have you been an egyptian nun riding horseback through the fields of iraq?
no
do you want to be
not really
Have you been an astronaught flying a spaceship on a voyage to another star?
i don't think so
Do you want to
not really, if I can travel astrally
Ah but you see, astral travel is also a human/earth experience
So...?
So if you leave this game, you can no longer astral travel
Where will I go if I leave the game then?
To heaven
Heaven?
Back to the source, the creator
Who is the creator?
Everything
All of this is his creation
And will the creation continue to exist if I return?
Yes
What else is the creator creating
Everything
There are other games to play
Really?
Yes
Cool
What like?
There is ... (words lost in translation)
I cant describe that in words
It is a totally different game alex, totally different rules
Have I played many games?
Yes, you've played nearly all of them, but there are new ones all the time
When someone has played all the games, they might want to make a new one, or they might decide to relax, or whatever, its up to them .
So is there another game that you can describe for me that I can put into words?
Sure
Theres this one game where you are an ant-like creature in a colony on a rock in an empty void
Is it fun?
Not really.
I am being called back
No worries.

How to win the game?

[Alex]

I'm not sure there is a way in the end... Maybe you win when you decide not to play anymore? Or when you have played it enough times that it would just bore you to play it again?

To me, the game is life, and playing it is another way of saying making choices. I guess the first choice would be whether or not we play it, ie live or not live; existence or non-existence. We make choices based on what we want, and what we dont want. Sometimes the latter is more important because we might be wanting something but in order to get it we have to get something we dont want. This is something I see causing a lot of problem with us mystics and spiritual explorers, especially in the way of abilities. One way I have found to get around this, though Pilar might be better able to speak this than me, is to simply accept and let go.... I guess to sum it up, knowing the choice is much simpler than making it. And when I can continually do both without fail, then I think that will mean I won the game, at least in my own particular way ;)

[Alex]

Well said Oath, knowing the choice does seem harder than making the choice.

I have often thought of the metaphor of 'the game' as our complete and total path through the process of incarnations, rather than as just one lifetime. One of my teachers talks about this system of reality (including all the dimensions, both animal and spiritual, the cosmos with all its planetary systems, and all time) as one large experience called "the ensoulment program". According to this theory, an 'exercise' was created by the One being (back to the yin-yang image here where you have only Is and Is Not) whereby it separated parts of itself off into separate fragments, which then began a path of experiential growth through all the hierchical systems of incarnation, which include the realms of astral, the animal realms on earth, life cycles on other planets and in other dimensions, even the 'god' realms. Branches of soul extend outward from the Source (referred to as trees or monads) which in turn branch out and split off, creating the fractaling nature of creation, and its extension infinitely in all directions both as microcosm and macrocosm. At some indefinitive point, the extension will reach its natural limit and all will return to the original source, and the source will reabsorb the collective experiences of all fragments, and this One will have had a single 'experience', thereby growing itself in some way.

And this....is the 'game'. Much bigger, and extending much farther than our single lifetime or even the monad we belong to in our own series of incarnations.
