KRIS: Do you understand the premise of your question?
MARK: I think I do. Serge and I were talking the other day in the restaurant. I started by saying that obviously when you come into this world, Philip, in my case, has certain desires and manifests me. Now you are teaching me, and I obviously have my own desires that I manifest and what I included in that conversation is the idea that they can’t be in conflict. What I want has to really be what Philip wants. Is that correct?
KRIS: Partially so. For indeed there is often far too much emphasis stressed about the mortal coil, the carnal, therefore tainted and sinful self being out of alignment with its higher spiritual and divine purposes, and so on and so forth. Most of which is mainly a reinterpretation of some of what the priests have pitched at you from the pulpit for thousands of years.
But the truth of the matter is that your goals and goals of your higher or inner self or true self may not be that much out of phase with each other. The difference is usually herein is where most individuals trip over their own feet.
It is that the true self may have a million and one potential ways to bring about the manifestation of this larger desire, but you and thus ego perceptions insist that it can only come about within certain parameters otherwise it is not considered valid. Thus you limit and water down and censor all of the potentials at your disposal and then you rant and rave and bring down the heavens because the inner self did not give you what you wanted. But all this time it may have been trying to do so from all angles, but you refuse to see it that way but insist that the process occur the way you expect it to be. Do you understand?
MARK: Not too well.
KRIS: It has acquired the illusion that it is the boss and it is the only part of your being that insists that its perceptions and interpretations of consciousness and reality are the true and correct interpretations, and everything else is secondary. Thus it gets you in hot water. Do you understand?
Now that is not to say that your egos must be expunged from your personalities, for such a thing cannot exist, it cannot be. The ego is a natural byproduct of your being as easily as the acorn is a natural byproduct of the oak tree. Do you understand?
So if you were to find a way to remove the ego, then it would simply send another. This was part of the basis of experimentation with LSD in the late 60′s and early 70′s, to try and find a chemical way to crush the ego because it was deemed according to certain Eastern philosophies that started flowing into America. It was considered to be the anti spiritual self. Do you understand?
Therefore the ego must be crucified and scarified at all costs if you wanted to have enlightenment in any way, shape or form. And some philosophies still advocate such drivel. And those who believe that this is the only method by which they can attain enlightenment do so eventually at the peril of their own self and sanctity of self, because they will eventually realize that the ego is not the enemy but what you allow it go get away with depends upon your attitudes and expectations.
If you teach the ego to expect to come in contact with larger dimensions of its own origins, then quite possibly it will meet and experience other dimensions of its existence. Then you are less likely to experience a bumpy road.
But when you expect that all knowledge of the universe must come forth to your ideas of sciences and so on and so forth, and the reality is not quite what the theory envisioned, you normally go to great lengths even to great extremes to make sure that everything that does not match your preconceived theories and expectations is censored.
And you do this normally because your ego perceptions are fear based. You are afraid of the larger dimensions of yourselves. When you are not afraid of the larger dimensions of yourselves, then your reality takes on a larger meaning. You are not afraid to venture forth and explore your dreams, the stream of your thoughts, or even to know that you may have more than this one present physical incarnation, that you may have other personalities, other genders even that unfold their lives in other variations of time to the one that you experience here and now, each fully active and living, creating together a symphony of the soul. Each made carefully balanced instrument, a musical instrument of divine proportions. Each playing out its tunes. And together creating whether an aria or symphony, but indeed beautiful music to which the rest of the Universe resonates. Does that make some sense to you?
MARK: Yes it does. Actually I was talking about my father, his reaction to not so much a control of me but I can see his fear base, being his tie to self, and not willing to pursue the thought pattern……
KRIS: You represent in that way the one that strays too far from the thought fences set up around the family unit, and all families have these.
MARK: All people have these.
KRIS: And when you express some of your discoveries, then you send up the red flags and the red alert goes on in his psyche and then everything closes down and he has to make certain that all of the thoughts he entertains are carefully contained like so much cattle in the fenced in area. And if goes anywhere it must be carefully funneled in this way and that way and all the conclusions must be equidistance from each other and symmetrical in a certain fashion so that there are no blatant gaps through which consciousness might slip in like a fox through the hen house. Do you understand?
MARK: Yes.
KRIS: So your father is a brilliant man for he likes to think that his intellectual fortress is impenetrable. But like all fortresses that are impenetrable, they also contain very few exits. They in their own way become a trap and all impulses that arise from the depths of his soul, so to speak, will have trapdoors slapped down on them and he will be left wondering eventually as to the nature of his purpose. And that is where he will have to meet his challenges.
MARK: It’s my hope that my being here and even though he’s censoring me, so to speak, I’m still sneaking in these little conversations here and there.
KRIS: He’s practiced at this art. You are less practiced.
MARK: I guess my purpose is, well, I’m obviously out for myself, but I’m just hoping that some things will sneak in past the….
KRIS: Do not underestimate his armor. His armor has chinks in it. However, the only purpose that one sets up those kinds of defenses from the inner self is that they are far and only too well aware that there are these larger dimensions that exist within them. Do you understand?
So it is not done out of ignorance but out of cunning, and planning and control so the control is not necessarily of you as much as it a projection upon your thoughts and interests because he feels the need to control himself, fearing that if he does not then the whole edifice of the self will fall apart like a house of cards. But his house of cards is well glued together.
MARK: It’s also fascinating that I chose that family and I wouldn’t be here in this room now if it wasn’t for that house of cards.
KRIS: Indeed. In other words you have picked up some of your family unit’s thoughts they have rejected, for that you are blamed. Do you understand? This is a game of hide and seek. This time around YOU are tagged.
Now, since you are enjoying this conversation, we will give you a break.
Break begins at 8:00
Kris jumps back in.
KRIS: Look at it this way, when you build a house, you not only stake out your claim of land, but you dig a foundation. Correct? You do not merely bring in all of the nails, the wires, the piping, the 2 x 4′s the drywall, and everything that will make up your house and throw it on the lot and walk away thinking that in a few weeks’ time this will all become a house. Correct?
Now as an aside or an a tangent here, your standard scientific view of the world would like you to think that all of the elements of nature were somehow or other just like in our example, and somehow or other they all became a living thing. Do you understand?
Now to get back to the house. You have a plan and it must be detailed, and with this plan you begin to dig out the foundation for upon this foundation you will erect your house. Correct? And the contractor will come or even contractors will come. They will clear the land. Dig the foundation. Lay the foundation. Set it. Then they will start building upwards all of the proper construction workers, whether plumber, electrician, air conditioner, bricklayer, drywaller, any of the artisans and their respective crafts will come and do their respective work to follow the blueprints of the respective plans and build your house. Does that make sense so far?
(Yes)
Indeed. Now. When you take birth all of the various aspects of the self plan together creating an overall, still detailed, but overall blueprint. Not one that damns you to follow it irreversibly, but one that gives you tremendous leeway within the chosen parameters of your experience. Do you understand?
(Yes)
Indeed. Then in terms of the analogy all of the various aspects that add themselves which are all living entities will represent the analogy of all the various construction workers, whether plumber, bricklayer, drywaller. And all of this comes about because of the direction given by the ego. In the case of the construction analogy this is the contractor. Do you understand?
(Yes)
And even though to your mind, the ego is something that grew up with you, that is yourself. It is a portion of your being. And it is an essential one because its own talents are basically hidden from it. It does not know its own abilities to orchestrate the construction of your reality, which makes the situation exceedingly ironic that very often the ego will refute such knowledge, and it does not even know that it has this knowledge. Do you understand?
Now in order to complete the house the contractor has to make certain that the foundation of the house is indeed solid enough to stand the test of time. The foundation of the self are all the various aspects that come together under the leadership of the ego or the contractor. The contractor need not know all of the details involved in the art of the bricklayer, the drywaller, the plumber, etc., etc. He has to understand their jobs are being done properly.
And in the same way your egos do not understand how every detail of your being is assembled and working together, how all of the various multitudes of aspects are working together, but it understands itself enough to know how to put it together. So your egos are indeed a very important aspect of your growth. Whether it is physical or spiritual is irrelevant. Do you still follow?
And even if on the construction site the contractor would meet an untimely accident or was killed, you would have to bring in another one to complete the work, to act as overseer. Do you understand?
Similarly, even if you were to be psychologically damaged to the point where the ego would be irreparably wounded, the self would bring out from the depths of its being other aspects that would take on the role of the ego, the new contractor to insure at least an overall rude functioning of the personality aspects as they work in tandem. Does that make some sense to you?
So the ego is an essential portion of your being to the point where we would have to say that the ego is the outermost tip of the self extended through the parameters of various dimensions to participate in this one. At the point of physical death where the body and its material return to the earth, the ego is not destroyed because it is not physical. It is part of the personality and it is brought back into its proper perspective, that is, the inner self where all of what it has learned becomes essential to the growth and understanding again of all the multitudes of selves within this higher self or inner being.
So your ego actually is a vital and essential part of the whole process of whom and what you are. And thought at time we may even kid about the ego, we do understand that its functions are extremely assertively and that you cannot override them, but that you can help the ego grow that much more by your suggestions. Do you understand?
So that should also let you surmise at one point or another that when we ask you if you understand what we are talking about concerning the ego you should click in somewhere that you and the ego are two different things. You are not your egos. Do you understand that?
There is something different between you, who you are, and what you think you are in terms of an ego.
(That’s complex.)
Indeed. But you asked for it.
Now we will try once again to give you your break.
Break begins again at 8:10.
Session resumes at 8:30
KRIS: You have to understand that your convictions, which include your beliefs, your expectations, your thoughts, feelings, emotions, altogether provide a mold which will form the events and circumstances of your daily realities. And when those convictions are based upon principles of fear, principles of evil, and of opposing forces, then unfortunately your realities must produce interpretations along the lines of your convictions. That is the one basic absolute truth in any reality that you consider at all. That thoughts and convictions beget events and circumstances. That is a basic absolute root function.
Thus when you have large segments of one or more societies that operate on such principles, you create a reality, a universe that is not safe. And as a consequence the events that manifest themselves according to your convictions must show you the very nature of your thoughts which are fear based and cannot otherwise be expressed.
But if you change the nature of your convictions which is within each and every one of you to do this, then the events and the circumstances of your daily realities must now conform to the new shapes the molds have given them. Do you understand?
And the more you live and cultivate an atmosphere of a safe universe, then indeed that safe universe must make itself known. The more of you that concentrate and focus your thoughts in that vein, the more the events and the circumstances make themselves known in that light. It cannot do otherwise.
So you can understand the nature of the fixation of your thoughts and convictions by the events and circumstances that occur within your daily realities. It is an excellent and extraordinary feedback mechanism. Do you follow?
The events and circumstances of your life tell you what you believe about, what you believe in, where your thoughts are at any given time. You do not need to spend the next twenty years on the shrink’s couch to find out what the heck is bugging you. Look at the events and the circumstances of your lives and you will see by their enactment and manifestation what some of your beliefs are.
It is a perfect tool created by yourselves, and it is an innate potential. You cannot not have this. You may deny it; of that there is no question. But you cannot prevent it from occurring because it is natural for you to think, to maintain convictions and these then become the stuff of which your world is made up of. Does that make some sense?
(Yes)
MARK: How ironic. The one thing that we really don’t believe is the only thing that can manifest that we don’t believe. Everything else is our beliefs.
KRIS: Your convictions are poor in that area. It is easier for you to constantly entertain events and circumstances of failure, for instance, because you are convinced in the ineptitude of your own talents. You do not once consider that you would entertain convictions about the natural progressive and potent talents to create something more endearing than damning in your realities. Does that make sense to you?
(Yes)
So there is very little need then to pine and bemoan the apparent inability to focus on anything but the flow of the river of your miseries, but instead cut its power and begin reversing the flow upstream and concentrating instead on your abilities to create joy, happiness, fulfillment, abundance, love, relationships, and loving relationships for your reality can only be made up of the stuff that you concentrate upon, for that there is no other way.
If you are looking for magical creative and powerful ways to create these simple requirements of your being, then look no further than the cradle of your personal reality. Your own thought processes, that is where you will find the factory of your convictions.
Now fortunately for you it does not work in the same manner as an assembly line plant. But some of the processes are similar in a way, that your thoughts, your feelings, your associations, your convictions, your expectations are assembled together down this line in such a manner that instead of a four or five star of Windstar family truck, you get the events and the circumstances of your day, as if you day is manufactured behind the scenes and then it somehow or other magically appears in such a manner that when you awaken you walk into the set. The props are different configuration of your feelings about yourself, your expectations, your emotions, your convictions rendered in a 3-dimensional reality. Does that make sense?
Indeed we could not be more clear. Suffice it to say that Henry Ford will be proud.
So it behooves each and every one of you to dare and challenge yourself to explore those inner dimensions of your being that lead into greater and greater experiences of life because that is where your concentration is. Do you follow?
So with that you will understand that the cradle of your being, the cradle of your civilizations, the very cradle of life comes from within you and nowhere else. And with that we will bid you a fond venture and a much pleasant winter.

Mark’s Notes:
During the break we were talking about how our beloved new friends in Arizona were able to buy their dream house.
Matthew, his wife Nicole, their daughter Delaney and Nicole’s mother Marlene lived in a rented home in Arizona. Matthew’s work takes him on the road throughout the USA and one particular weekend when he was away (possibly New York) Marlene decided that it was time for them to buy a house of their own. Nicole was quite shocked since they had only $500 in the bank but after a bit of prodding from her mother went out house shopping with Marlene. They stumbled upon a beautiful piece of property that had more than one house on it, a nice small house for Marlene and a bigger house for Matthew, Nicole and Delaney. Marlene struck up a conversation with the homeowner and they immediately became good friends. After placing an offer on the property through a real estate agent Marlene and Nicole went home and packed up their house to the point where they couldn’t even sleep in it anymore.
The next day Marlene moved into the new house despite frustrated shouts from the real estate people saying that “You can’t do this!” Marlene, Nicole and Matt (MNM as we now call them) needed to come up with, oh, let’s say $125 Thousand dollars in about five day’s time. The homeowner struck a deal with Marlene. He offered them 50% of the down payment interest free for six months. That meant that MNM still needed to raise $62,500 over the course of a weekend. Nicole got on the phone with Matt and said “Honey we just bought a house and we need $62,500 by Monday. I’m getting on a plane to join you in New York to help you raise the cash”. Needless to say, they raised the money and then some and are now living happily ever after in their dream home.
(Please note that this story is true even though I may not be very accurate on the details. I think that everyone gets the jist of the story regardless of the facts.)
Upon hearing this story Herminia made a comment to the effect of how we tend to achieve our goals and desires more often when we take that leap of faith and ACT upon our impulses. At this point Kris was VERY quick to jump in.
8:40 PM
KRIS: Now it is of utmost importance that you understand the statement that you have just made (pointing to Herminia), that you ACT upon the impulse that comes from your beliefs and though it might be difficult to fathom at times, you do not understand that you have been doing this your whole life long. You had a desire to “BE” and in true Shakespearian fashion, you are. By desiring to be you followed that impulse and you took your birth. Do you follow so far?
Then without any conscious concerns on your part, that desire to be catapulted you through physical experience. You did not have to worry your pretty little heads one iota about how you were going to grow your bodies. You did not have to worry about how many lungs or kidneys or arms or ears or noses, eyes or mouths that you would need. The simple desire to be and your acting upon that desire provided the physical body to the point where you had no need to concern yourself with how you need to make your hair grow, your eyes sparkle and your lungs breathe or your heart beat.
These are extensions of that original desire and further extensions of that original desire to be the entire physical universe, in terms of your physical experience of it, becomes manifest for you, before you, by you and a part of you; an expression of you and is shared by you by others.
That desire to be was not necessarily something that happened before your birth in chronological time. It is the desire to be that creates the notion of the birth, the birthing process, the growing up, the infancy, the adolescence, the adulthood, and the old age. That is an expression of the desire to be.
So your whole stream of physical life, from beginning to end as you understand it and from end to beginning as you will also understand it, is part and parcel and an extension of that desire to be because YOU ARE! That kind of desire is what sets the stars into motion, is what sets the cast of your human experience in the dramas that unfold as you become more and more consciously aware of self. And as you continue to enjoy the moments of your experience out of that single desire to be, because it is that desire to be is what is aligned, in balance with “All That Is” for that is what “All That Is” is!
It is BEING and the more you yourselves “ARE” the better off you are. Do forgive the strange syntax but you understand the point. Such a simple thing, desiring to be and that is where you power is. In terms of the written language it is such a small word. It is two letters but it packs such POWER that out of that desire “All That Is” expresses itself and sees the world and realities beyond imaginings through your eyes, through your imaginations, through your dreams, through your actions, through your desires and it knows itself to be and even when you think that you mess it up, return to the notion that we explained earlier that you are always balancing things, re-aligning yourselves into Harmony with “All That Is” and you will find that your lives indeed are delicious.
They are of the highest culinary order, for indeed they are very much like a recipe with ingredients which may be ephemeral, giving more to subjectivity than objectivity. But all of that subjectivity, all of the activities that take their being in the field of inner events, they become objective, as you understand the term. They become physically manifest in one way or another. So that means Emeril (the TV chef) should watch out! Do you understand the point?
Nothing is simpler and simultaneously more difficult than to be. Herein lies the key as we have said so many times before. There is a Bengali expression “Acyntia Beda Beda Tattva” which loosely translated means that you are simultaneously the same as AND different from the Godhead or if you wish “All That Is”.
Now we will not give you any more Hamlet or Shakespearian soliloquists and we wish you TO BE.
End at 8:50 PM
