This is a separation of portions of you from the rest of the collective that you are, and in isolating that portion of you, you cut it off from the life flow that is its birthright.  The cutting of that life flow is what causes it to atrophy and seem to separate from you and cause disease in a physicalized manifestation.

Now, the idea, therefore, is to allow yourself to recognize, first of all, that you cannot truly "get rid" of anything, because there is nowhere to get rid of anything to.  However, you can allow all the energy that is within you to transform into something positive.  Recognize you always have the opportunity to transform energy into negative or positive manifestation.

In your society, because of the way you have been taught to live, and the beliefs you have generally bought into, many of you do not believe that it is easy to be in touch with those portions of yourself. And so many times you will force yourself to look at certain portions of yourself; you will force certain situations upon yourself by the creation of ideas you call pain and stress and disease, because you simply have not been taught that there are easier ways to accept certain portions of your consciousness and integrate them within you.

Now, may I ask you a question?

Q:  Please.

B:  Thank you.  Are you, in your life, doing the thing that excites you the most?

Q:  I would say, probably not.

B:  Why not?

Q:  Because I don't know what that is.

B:  Oh, yes you do!  But, when we ask you, "what is the most exciting thing in your life?" we do not necessarily mean that you have to sit there and come up with the most exciting thing you will ever do.  All we are asking you is, right now, what is the most exciting thing you can act upon, with whatever tools are now available to you?  Out of all the things you could be doing in life, is there one thing you can act upon that is the most exciting thing you could be doing -- more exciting than anything else you are acting upon?

Q:  Well, what I'm doing is a lot along the lines of what you were saying before, of trying to live in the moment, and…

B:  There is no trying to live in the moment; there is living in the moment, or there is not.

Q:  Well, living in the moment.

B:  All right.  What does living in the moment mean to you?

Q:  Being with myself, and taking in and living out what I have to give.

B:  All right.  What do you have to give?

Q:  Myself, my love.

B:  All right. In what ways does it excite you to share your love and be of service in your society?

Q:  That's an interesting question; I haven’t thought of that before.

B:  All right.  You may think about it now.

Q:  Well, in my work.

B:  Which is?

Q:  Which is, I'm a therapist.

B:  Is this something that excites you?

Q:   Very much.

B:   All right. This is something that you love to do?

Q:  Very much.

B:  All right.  When you are being a therapist, what do you give, and what do get out of it?

Q:  Give guidance, exploration.

B:  All right.  And what do you get?

Q:  I get the pleasure and satisfaction of seeing people get beyond blocks and…

B:  All right.

Q:  …go on with their lives.

B:  All right.  May I ask you another question?

Q:  Please.

B:  Thank you.  Do you regard the individuals that you assist differently than you regard yourself?

Q:  No.

B:  Do you feel that you have the same degree of unconditional love for yourself that you do for them?

Q:  Yes.

B:  All right.  Do you believe you act like you have unconditional love for yourself?

Q:  Not always.

B:  All right. When do you not?

Q:  When l get sick.

B:  I see.  Why, in getting sick, as you say, why should that make a difference as to how much you are willing to love yourself?

Q:  It shouldn't.

B:  Why does it?

Q:  That's my problem, that it takes…

B:  Problem is only a situation you will not allow to transform into something else.

Q:   Well, it takes over.

B:  It takes over?

Q:  It takes over.

B:  It?

Q:  The negative.

B:  It?  Are you saying that there is something that has more power in your life than you?

Q:  It has.

B:  No, it has not.  You have that power; only you can create the illusion that makes it seem as if something else has more power than you.  But that is giving your power away.  Now, I thought you said you loved yourself unconditionally. UNconditionally!   UNconditionally.  So any condition, including disease, should not be a prerequisite for the
ceasing of love to yourself.  You follow me?

Q:  Yes.

B:  Now.  If you are creating a disease, do you think that you create a disease because you are doing something wrong?  You are not getting something right?  You are going too slowly?  You are not understanding something properly?

Q:  Yes.

B:  Why?   Why do you invalidate yourself?   When you create a situation, just a situation which does not have to come with negative meaning, why choose to believe that simply because that situation of the disease is there that you are doing something wrong?  Why not simply choose to assume that it is there for a positive reason, rather than a negative one?

Q:  The disease?

B:  Yes.  Now, while you are pondering this, will you play a little game with me?

Q:  Yes.

B:  Oh, thank you.  Do you like games?

Q:  Yes.

B:  Thank you.  Do you like to have fun?

Q: Very much.

B:  Oh, thank you very much.

Now, this little game entails your imagination.  For right now, for the time frame of this game, all realities are flexible.  There does not have to be any invalidation, such as, "oh, well, that will never work, that is naive, that is childish, that will never amount to anything, that is not realistic,” and so forth.  For right now, using your imagination in this game, can you create, in this moment, even one positive reason for having the disease you have?

Q:  Well, it's a way of stopping the destructive patterns that I've been following.

B:  Ah.  How so?

Q:  Not having enough fun in my life.

B:  How does the disease allow you to stop the pattern of not having enough fun?

Q:  Well, I have to pay attention to myself.

B:  Oh, very good.  Now, do you think you can pay attention to yourself in other ways?

Q:  Yes.

B:  Do you think that now that you have gotten your attention with the disease, that you can allow yourself to receive any and all messages that can come to you, and not choose to stop loving yourself?

Q:  Yes.

B:  All right.  May I remind you that within the background of your work that you have been taught -- one of the inherent beliefs you have ingrained within yourself, is that once you have a concept of something, you believe you need a process in order to manifest, or achieve, or become that idea.  Do you follow me?

Q:  Yes.

B:  Recognize that this is something you have learned, and it is something you can unlearn.  And the idea can be stated this way, if you begin to recognize that your imagination is just as real as your physical reality, and that your physical reality is the product of your imagination anyway, with the added variable, the added illusion you call solidity, then you can understand the following idea.

If you are even able to conceive of a state of being you prefer, rather than the state of being you are in, your ability to be able to even conceive of that different state of being means that at the time you are conceiving it, you are in that state of being.  Because the only things you can conceive are the things you are.  The vibratory level on which you already exist can only give rise to the thoughts and the conceptions and the imaginations that go along with that level and no other.  The only thing that prevents you from allowing what you imagine or visualize to be a reality or a situation you would prefer over the one you are experiencing is in not believing that the imagination of that experience is as real as the experience itself.

Recognize that being able to conceive of a situation is not the beginning of a process; it is the end of a process.  Do you follow me?

Q:  Yes.

B:  When you allow yourself to know that what you have imagined is now true for you, then all you need to do is to begin to act like it is already true for you.

Now, another continuation of this idea: pay attention!  When you allow yourself to know that you have, in fact, changed into a reality in which you no longer need to experience negative manifestation, do remember this: You, as a society, have existed in invalidation and limitation for many hundreds of thousands of years.  So, it is not surprising that you may, for a little bit, continue to do so -- to treat your situation in that way.  However, this does not mean you cannot take it for granted that you have changed.  The moment, the instant, you conceive of the reality you prefer to be, you are that reality.

What may not change so quickly are the symbols that represent your reality to you.  But do remember this, no symbol, no situation, comes with built-in meaning.  All situations, all symbols, are fundamentally neutral, blank, zero.  You give them meaning and the meaning you give the symbol determines the effect you get out of it; positive meaning, positive effect; negative meaning, negative effect.

Therefore, when you imagine the scenario you would prefer to be - but recognize that the same symbols keep occurring -- all you need to do is, (a) take it for granted that instantaneously, in fact, your reality has changed.  What you need to do, therefore, is start to give new meaning to the symbols that do not appear to be changing.  When you give new meaning to the symbols, that is when you allow the symbols to change into more conscious reflections of the new reality you know you have become.

But because you live in a world of linear time, that transformation may take a little bit of time; do not be impatient with yourself.  Therefore, if you now know, for example, to use your scenario – that you are now willing to receive communication from different portions of yourself, without having to have the experience or the symbol you call the negative disease in order to listen, then simply take it for granted that you actually now are, from this point forward, an individual who no longer does need to experience it that way.

If the symbol should stick around for a little while, that is all right.  It will change as quickly as it can when you start to give that symbol a positive meaning -- rather than continue to imbue it with a negation, just because of the way it appears on the surface.  You follow me?

Q:  Yes.

B:  Then your willingness – your willingness to not make, not force a change, but to allow it to change -- then your physical reality will begin to transform, to reflect to you what you now know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, to be true for you.  All you need to do, when you know that something is true for you, is to begin to act like it is true for you.  Which means, if you are the person who no longer feels pain and disease, then act like a person who knows that they no longer feel pain and disease.

And should you create, for a little while longer, the supposed outward symbol of the pain and disease, all you need to know is, it is not the same meaning, even though it is the same outward expression.  And as soon as you know it is not the same meaning, the outward expression will follow suit.  Because physical reality is the shadow of the soul, and the soul is the body of existence.  When you change the shape of the body -- which is changing the idea of whom and what you are -- the shadow must take the form of the body.  But if you try to change the shape of the shadow without changing the intrinsic body, it doesn't move.  Does this assist you?

Q:  Very much.

B:  Also, recognize that from this point forward, in your dream realities, you will begin to recognize that you have opened many more doorways by your willingness to share in this communication with us -- not because it is us, but because you are willing to allow yourself to view new reflections of yourself.  Thus, you are getting in touch with your own self-empowerment, and do not have to give your power away.  And can now recognize, from this point forward, that you are as powerful as you need to be to have anything you desire in life without having to hurt anyone else -- or yourself -- in order to get it.

Your dream realities will expand, and there will now be more communication to more levels of yourself.  We thank you for your willingness to allow us to reflect to you another facet of the creation that you are.  Your life will accelerate accordingly.  Thank you very much. Pleasant dreams.  And laugh anytime you feel like it.

Q:  Thank you.

B:  Thank you.
