(Session begins 7:47 PM)

KRIS: Now we trust that you are all very comfortable and we thank you for your consideration. This evening we would enjoy bringing a previous discussion on magic into the presentation, and in particular, we would specifically like to discuss map-making, but in a very particular way, in a manner unique to our modus operandi. And we would call this “The Happiness Map.”

Now, in standard terms, a map is a representation, hopefully in clear detail, of a particular geographical area, or a country, or even the entire world and certain branches of science, such as astronomy, each attempting to create a map of the cosmos, certain metaphysical studies such as astrology attempt to create a psychological and psychic map with the various houses and planets and so on. And it is, to a certain degree, worth investigating what it is that you map out during the course of your daily adventures and ultimately, during the course of your existence.

And of course, some of the subject matter will be familiar to you as it necessitates recognizing some of the various highlights, or even low points during the course of a day or week or month. And this requires a recognition of what you normally focus upon or pay attention to which includes what you worry about, what you stress yourself about, and even what you deny to your own self during the course of those adventures.

So this entails the creation of your own personal, psychological map and we hope to assist you in laying down a specific type of map that may even be akin to an old-fashioned treasure map, the treasure being “Happiness” and we can show you there are no pirates out to get the X that marks the spot, but most definitely this small exercise can also bring about a very real, conscious, undeniable representation of what you experience during the course of a day or week or more.

And we mention it in this way because we are well aware of the very human tendency to hide things from oneself, to censor and block out that which you do not want to deal with in one way or another, but this small happiness map will render the process much easier and assist you in transforming what you would normally deny or not want to deal with into a transformative process, leading to a treasure hunt for happiness. Not that happiness is found elsewhere, halfway around the globe, but rather right where you are to be found.

The process itself is relatively simple: On a sheet of paper you can draw a large circle and on and within the circle itself you can fill the space with a variety of smaller circles. The smaller circles can vary in size, as you please, or they can be of even sizes, the point is not to get all of the circles absolutely perfect. Once you have filled the large circle with a variety of smaller circles, you can begin to write or even abbreviate different portions or segments of your day with various activities that you engage in.

And this should be as true as possible, even if you think an activity should never appear on paper, we trust that by now you have a sufficient understanding to accept even those parts, aspects and activities of your own that otherwise you might still perhaps consider simple or otherwise. And if such are still carrying that stigma, then we highly recommend more Triple ‘A’ or even the very recent energy point exercise. With this out of the way, try and write something in each of the circles.

And once all of the circles have been filled with a description or abbreviation, whether one of the activities or some of the activities involve struggle, worrying, stress, and so on, take inventory of the numbers of activities that you might even consider perhaps unpleasant, unfulfilling, frustrating; in short, activities you consider might not make you as happy as you would have wished for that day or that week. And write perhaps beside, outside of that circle, the major circle, the number or percentage of activities that lead to unhappiness as well as the number of activities that actually are fulfilling and bring happiness.

Now we do understand the very real and practical necessity to often accomplish tasks that are absolutely necessary for human survival and so on and so forth, perhaps some of those are tasks you would perhaps not have to do that are necessary, but there are also many other tasks that you do that are fulfilling and fill you with happiness. And once you have finished writing the numbers and compared each one, take another sheet of paper, re-do the major circle and fill that with varieties of smaller circles. (Pause)

And in this, write down in each of the smaller circles as many activities as you would like to engage that do bring you genuine happiness, regardless of what it is, even if you think it is beyond your reach, Perhaps you would enjoy being one of the first people to go into outer space on a commercial vehicle, even if you think such an activity could not possibly be within your reach, write it down. And perhaps each time you write such an activity that fills you with happiness, even joy, take a moment to delve in that action. Imagine what it would be like if….

And after a moment, write something else in another circle, until you fill the page. You do not have to merely and strictly stay within the realm of fantasy. There are many, many things that can make each and every one of you happy in real and three dimensional terms. Feel free to delve into any of these as well. (Pause) Once you have filled all of the smaller circles we suggest adding up those happy activities that you consider fanciful in one way or another, and those that are, according to you, within your reach and add the numbers, and compare.

For example, you may have twenty different smaller circles, nine of them would be filled with activities you might consider flights of fancy, and the balance with those that are practical, so you would write those two different numbers. And once you are done, take a third sheet of paper, again make a large circle, again fill it with smaller various sized circles or evenly sized, as you wish. And this time you will divide the large circle, starting from outside its periphery, from one end to the other, north, south, east, west, creating four segments.

This is merely for practical purposes and you may name each of the four segments on the outside of the large circle, perhaps something along the lines of the upper left segment as “early morning”, the upper right as “early afternoon,” the lower left: “late afternoon,” the lower right: “evening.” These are merely suggestions, you may play with those things as you see fit.

Now within the first segment and you can also name segments one, two, three, four, however you like, segment number one: you can begin to fill it with activities, even if they are mental activities or actual physical activities that give you happiness, that make you happy. They would be activities that you DO engage in, that you would encounter in the day, or that part of the day, or that you will deliberately create within that part of the day to provide you with happiness. And you would do the same with each other segment. The idea being that you would hold this as a guideline to follow for those various parts of the day.

And you may even include, as does occasionally happen in real life, for the unexpected events that pop up in your reality and that even such unexpected events can be incorporated into your happiness map. You may even invite such unexpected moments of happiness to become part of your map of happiness. With a small amount of practice, such a process can take but a few minutes of anyone’s day. However, the happiness map model is sufficiently open-ended for anyone to modify it to whatever adventure they wish to incorporate within it and especially to periodically, say every few weeks, if you carry this proposal to any length, compare your first map with your most recent map and gauge the differences, the changes, that make themselves known to you as you create them, utilizing such a map-making process as a guideline.

There is no hard and fast rule for such a process and as this development unfolds, you may even incorporate goals of happiness as a foundation for unfolding days ahead. We believe it is simple enough, but its impact can be very deep if you make such allowances, considering that the map is not the happiness, the happiness is what you create, the map being merely an assistance that can help you dig up treasures from deep within you, and help bring it up to the light of day and conscious experience. Does this make sense?

(Yes)

What is the time?

MARK: 8:21.

KRIS: Then we suggest a small break so that either you may discuss the map or ideas you have along those lines.

(Break begins at 8:21 PM.)

MARK: The very first map he did, it became apparent to me that, obviously everybody’s day is different, but a map each day is a good analytical way to see where you are each given day, but there are probably, in some of those smaller circles inside, you can create a larger circle. For instance, I go to work, and at work I can have a variety of different things that I do. I could create a whole map just for work.

BRIAN: Couldn’t this also be like the NODI, because it’s a bubble?

ELLA: I think I got a little lost on the happiness map, because he said to write down everything you do, even flights of fancy and those things that you think aren’t in your reach and I sort of have a blockage there. I have to re-analyze that. Some things I don’t know if they are really in my reach or not.

MARK: Well, on today’s map you might hypothetically put down some of them [that are] out of reach. Next week, some of those same items might be IN reach.

ELLEN: Yeah, and I think Brian made a good point about it being like the Nodi. Some of those little circles on the inside might be something that normally you don’t really enjoy very much, but there might be times when you’re doing that activity and you find something that you do enjoy…in that activity. You open up a new opportunity within that activity.

ANYA: That’s why I was thinking about cleaning, Ellen, because Kris mentioned the other day when I was listening to Tom’s private session, he said that a lot of the times when we’re involved in some dirty, unexciting activity, like doing the dishes, sweeping the floor…a lot of ideas flow in and it’s a very good time to…

ELLEN: Oh exactly!

BRIAN: You daydream and meditate when you do an activity [like that].

ELLEN: Yes, that’s what she’s saying, that’s an excellent point.

ANYA: He said that sort of activity is like a net, where you’re trying to catch little ideas and then visually, he said, which really struck me, he said those ideas that seem unrelated to other things, that just come out of the blue, out of your processes of thinking, he said you learn how to judge those little ones, then you will basically establish for yourself more and more with those bigger chunks outside of your physical flow that you are able to perceive.

BRIAN: Plus you are drawing it to you. I keep thinking of how we use the magnetic of our minds to draw events to us. That’s what he’s mapping out: draw the happiness to you.

ELLEN: Yeah, suspend your feelings of “Oh, I hate doing this!” and allow yourself to…

MARK: Dare to dream.

BRIAN: Well, we do. We call it “daydreaming.”

MARK: No, but how many times do you sit down during the course of a day and say, “This is what I would really like to do…” whether it’s…

BRIAN: (Laughing) I do that everyday!

MARK: But by doing that, you’re using the imagination and daring to do it on a daily basis, you start to create it, because you get what you concentrate upon.

ANYA: I think there is a strong power of intent that will be used when you do this exercise, but I’m also thinking that, like last time, I thought, “I just want to be happy” and doing, doing, doing those things, to what purpose? …so I could be happy, so I set the intent to be happy and now I find many times during the day I’m already happy, but I’m not paying attention to that.

ELLA: What is “happy”? Is it a feeling of balance? How do you know it? I think everybody defines it differently.

ELLEN: I think I know it when I feel it.

ELLA: I feel happy when I feel free.

ELLEN: Being in the “zone,” no matter what you’re doing…when you’re in that zone…

TOM: Well, I think we haven’t been planning our days and our happiness, and I think that’s the point he’s bringing up, because if we haven’t done the planning, we just expect what’s going to happen is going to happen, and we haven’t really looked at what was happening very closely, you know, trying to get the overall view…so I think this is going to be a great tool.

BRIAN: It focuses you.

TOM: Yeah, it’s like trying to do a budget for your home.

ELLA: While doing it, it sort of puts me in that [mode of] “I choose to be happy…I choose to have advantageous events.” It’s all part of this conscious creation.

BRIAN: [Through utilizing P'Taah's "Morning Song" each day] you draw to you…just thanking Source for providing you with, even if you don’t yet have it, it can come about.

ELLEN: “Thank you for what I SHALL have.”

MARK: Brian, it’s also taking the moments that you may not consider to be bringing you happiness and choosing to make them bring you happiness.

BRIAN: Exactly, Mark. Good point.

MARK: It’s a change of perspective about events and circumstances of the day.

BRIAN: And knowing that it is your canvas to paint upon. It’s your ball game.

ELLA: He is doing that. We are learning to paint upon that canvas.

TOM: It’s almost like we’re sketching it out first, then we’re coming in with the colors later.

ANYA: I heard him also say within the past couple of weeks about how to get fun and excitement, which is to me part of feeling happy and he talked to me about this…I had no dream recall for about three weeks…and he said to think about it like you are going to Disneyland, create that feeling of a child who is about to go to Disneyland and experience that like “Oh, that’s the element I want to bring to a lot of things to the day”, to see something wondrous and to expect a miracle and it’s going to be there.

MARK: That’s very true because most of us in the morning or during the course of our day are imagining the negative, you know? “What’s THIS day going to bring? What have I missed at work, I got to do this today, and all this paper work,” etc. And if you reverse it and start thinking about all the good things that that day is going to bring instead…

BRIAN: Yeah, Mark, when you start thinking that the day is going to be bullshit, then you get it!

MARK: That’s right.

BRIAN: I’ll tell you, since I started doing what I’ve been doing with these exercises, not a day goes by that maybe 15 to 20 co-workers say, “How is it you stay so happy?” And you know what I tell them? “Because I choose to.” And you know what? They’re stunned, because they can’t believe it’s so simplistic. I just choose to!

(Kris returns at 8:35)

KRIS: Now, as we suggested earlier, do feel free to play with your happiness map. Consider it as part of the very process of happiness that you are cultivating. As was suggested during the break, feel free to implement change, to implement various aspects of your lives in such a manner that it works for you. The material we gave you is an outline and a guideline and not to be considered religious dogma. Have fun with the process.

We would even suggest that for those of you who are avid dreamers and who record your dreams, to create a similar map for your dream adventures. This would necessitate a revision of your dreams past for you to get a clear lay of the dream land so to speak, so that you can then create a similar mapping process and from there look for similar outcomes as your Happiness map; simply as a different way to work with and enjoy your dream adventures, giving you yet again a different perspective.

The whole idea with this happiness map process is to give the opportunity to become proficient and conscious of the very actions of consciousness that you go through on a daily basis, increasing your awareness of Self and what the Self does, motivated by your beliefs and similar structures, giving you a better inventory. And once you have this clear vision, it is considerably easier to actually understand what it is that you do over and above the general mentalizations that you process that gives this material to you in a manner that is concrete, and gives you a glimpse into the nature of your own activities, both physical and mental.

And again, as was briefly mentioned during break, this notion of writing down even those happy moments you may think are out of reach, can have a profound impact if you acknowledge those desirables and not brush them away because you judge them to be unfeasible, unattainable, not-in-this-lifetime kind of thing. That is not the point. The point is if it gives you a certain amount of joy and happiness, even to mentally venture in this area. [Let’s] say, for instance, you would enjoy flying to a tropical paradise, even if in all practical circumstances it would appear as if you could never make such a journey, but it gives you happiness to imagine it, put it down.

In so many short words, who are you to judge just how much happiness you can allow yourself? If you venture in this area, then you may very likely discover the very things that keep you from actually partaking of such happiness. When you automatically stamp down, shut the door, censor such thoughts because you have been brought up to think that such things are not yours to imagine. It would be selfish of you, arrogant, and so on and so forth, and that perhaps you should feel guilty for indulging in such pleasures, even if they are mental only.

Thus exploring that might actually unlock further treasures of the mind. But all in all, this happiness map is an assist to make you get a better picture and from there engage those divine-like, god-like, goddess-like qualities; activate that Micro and Meta magic to your advantage. Taste it! Breathe it! Touch it! Engage with it! This may give you a taste of the powers of creation that you have often relegated to the realms of the gods in the old-fashioned way, those states of community far removed from the human experience, as if the human experience is somehow or other a dirty secret.

Therefore, utilize such a thing as this Happiness map to come out of your own Divine closets. In days gone by, in the Gay and Lesbian community it was indeed a stigma to walk down the street and hear people whisper “There goes one of those queers, one of those fags and lesbians.” Now, such stigmas, at least in many North American and western cultures, are taking a back seat to the reality. But imagine for a moment what it would be like to go down the street and hear almost out of earshot someone say, “There goes one of them gods or goddesses! They are coming out of THEIR closet!” Now though we jest, there is also a ring of truth to this. So play with your happiness maps. Have fun. And if Philip cares to, perhaps the lines can be opened for your questions on this subject.

MARK: The lines are now open. Any questions?

ANYA: Okay, my question is, what we have created as of now is probably in alignment with our beliefs, so if we create a map of things that are way beyond our reach, wouldn’t beliefs that are a match to those beyond the reach of desires and goals, wouldn’t they come up quite a bit to show that…you know…wouldn’t they come up more into the unconscious gray area into our conscious awareness?

KRIS: We believe that we have answered that question. However, to summarize: the point is not, primarily to put sticks in your spokes, but to release those energies to effectively bring to the surface those particular beliefs and limitations you have imposed upon yourselves. By making yourselves conscious, you effectively attempt to Triple ‘A’ that information and leave the limitations behind. Now, we did suggest that you do keep a certain amount of practicality. For instance, we do not necessarily recommend that you put down “walking on water” and “raising the dead.” In common vernacular, “been there, done that!”

(Group chuckling)

Do you follow?

ANYA: Yes, I do.

KRIS: Does that answer your question?

ANYA: Yes, it does. Thank you.

KRIS: Indeed. Are there other questions?

JOHN: I have a question that may be peripheral to the topic, but it does bear…you know how we say, “You create your own reality,” and I just want to clarify for my own thinking…it’s not me as Sohars that’s creating this reality. From what I’m beginning to understand and take responsibility for, it’s me, Johnny, the focal personality who’s creating this reality. Is that fair?

KRIS: In part, but do keep in mind that you are not one hundred percent some kind of offshoot and separate Being. You are indeed a gestalt. So there are multiple layers of consciousness that you cycle constantly. Who exactly is this focus personality? It is not one thing only. Self is vast, yet occupies no real estate. Does this assist?

JOHN: Yes, that’s great. That’s helpful. The correction for me…I had been thinking that Sohars was doing the major pulling there and I was separating, I quite understand what you’re saying, and what I’m beginning to understand as a real possibility is that just what we’ve got here now, at the conscious level, this is the God on Earth [pointing at Self] and this is the focal point of creating my experience here.

KRIS: Indeed, just as the map is not the territory, so is the focal personality not the whole self, but a representation of certain aspects.

MARK: I think what you’re coming up with, John, is you’re cluing in to Johnny’s participation in that reality, and realizing that it’s not all Sohars. We’re starting to use these tools to understand our role as physical parts.

KRIS: Consider this: What part of you may have been involved in creating Michelangelo’s art work, or Da Vinci’s creations, or any other individual. You do understand that the focal personality alone could not accomplish such great feats, but there are other parts of you that can.

JOHN: Right. It’s like difference in emphasis that I’m beginning to recognize.

KRIS: Indeed. The emphasis is on the em-PHA-sis.

(Laughter)

Are there other questions?

ELLA: I have a question. I just wanted to review regarding the map. Basically what I heard, it sounds like everybody will choose their own methodology of how they will work with the map, with what frequency they will work, etc. Is that fair?

KRIS: Indeed.

ELLA: My question is, for example, I will review in whatever period of time my Happy map and I potentially I see that out of ten things I do, three things that I feel attainable, and I keep doing that and doing that and still three things remain that I feel are attainable, so I have to then try to concentrate what is blocking? Or how does one analyze this type of work?

KRIS: The general idea with the map, with this Happiness map process, is to keep increasing those events and activities that give you happiness, that are the results of the happiness you already contain. If you consider a treasure map, for instance, where X marks the spot where the treasure is buried, then these happiness maps, in a manner of speaking, are meant to have you discover that YOU are the X within which the treasure, the happiness, is buried.

The maps are guidelines to have this happiness dug up, brought to the level of the conscious mind so that you can greatly benefit from the happiness that otherwise may have remained buried. It is not important that what you write down appears to be unattainable at this point in time. And there is NO judgment meant at all if out of ten things, only three you consider attainable. The idea being that there is even happiness in thinking about that which is unattainable.

But if along that particular moment you notice that you cultivate and harbor beliefs that prevent those moments of that happiness from being part of your life, then feel free to Triple ‘A’ or work with the process as there may very well be reasons why it is considered unattainable by you. But ultimately the goal is simply to release that happiness. And we must also point out that just as it appears to be unattainable, whatever it is that is unattainable. Appearance is the key word. For your world, your entire physical reality is just that: a set of appearances and that is for your lovely self and anyone else and everyone else to ponder. We hope that answers your lovely question.

ELLA: It does, but I would just like to confirm what you are saying, that actually exists with me a lot. The only wrinkle with this, why I asked this question, when you asked us to draw the circle, particularly the happiness circle, you asked us to count how many circles are within and how many were attainable and how many were unattainable.

That made me think that there was some variation this way and I actually would prefer not to count them because that in my mind makes me judge. I know I shouldn’t, but it makes me judge. “Oh, I only have that many attainable and that many unattainable.” and when I just view all of them as a particular way to feel happy, whether mentally or in my reality, it feels very good to me.

KRIS: Indeed, as we suggested earlier on, the idea is that at a certain point in time, when you have been working with this method, you may go back to your first or very early maps and realize that the numbers of unattainables may indeed have miraculously, magically reduced in number.

ELLA: I see. That makes sense, actually, thank you.

KRIS: Indeed. Are there other questions? (Pause) Indeed then, what is the time?

MARK: 9:06.

KRIS: Then indeed, we send you all to your lovely happiness maps. Use them wisely, creatively and with complete abandon and have fun. And we return Joseph to you.

ALL: Thank you, Kris.

(Session ends at 9:06 PM.)

[MARK’S NOTES: After the session John started talking about Michelangelo and Picasso and was trying to understand what Kris had said about what part of John was Michelangelo or Picasso.]

(Kris pops back in at 9:10 PM)

MYRNA: Okay, Kris. Are we Michelangelo or not?

(Laughter)

MARK: (Jokingly) I’m David!

KRIS: Indeed, what aspects of your own creative nature participates in the events that you refer to as Michelangelo, Picasso, Rembrandt, Rubens, or any other artist?

MYRNA: Okay, the way you worded that is very important….so it’s our own creative impulse, right? … is represented by what we see there?

KRIS: Indeed. The events of your consciousness will be reflected in one way or another as best as it can be interpreted. This does not invalidate the individual that you refer to as Michelangelo, Picasso, and so on and so forth. They retain their authenticity, but there is a part of you that also not only responds to that art, but participates in its creation as well, even if you think it occurred so many hundreds of years into the past.

JOHN: So is that, basically, because of the fact that inspiration….and at a deep level I….an aspect of me shared with Michelangelo? Or is it a more surface level, where, within Sohars, never mind [the concept of] no separation, there are those creative possibilities?

KRIS: Perhaps there is even another alternate factor.

JOHN: Oh, good!

KRIS: Consider all of these things as a different kind of map of consciousness that represents not a geographical, but a psychological area of yourself.

JOHN: That, in a way, allows me to expand my sense of Self. For instance, Picasso has been a lifelong hero of mine…..huge, protean, creative force that was the man….and it’s lovely to feel that that’s a reflection of that same huge creative force in me.

KRIS: Indeed.

MYRNA: And you did talk about getting back to your painting, your art.

JOHN: I just made a note of that today, actually. That’s an easy way for me to have more fun…to do art. I gave it up for some reason, I’m not sure why.

MARK: This particular conversation reminds me of one of our walks, where we talked about the personality of your environment, and how it reflects your own personality. As well as, we create our environment through different aspects of ourselves in cooperation.

KRIS: Indeed and in that light, then, there is a portion of your energy, an aspect of your Being that revels in its creativity THROUGH the great master. It is NOT the master, but it reflects itself in that energy.

JOHN: I see, okay, well that’s helpful.

MYRNA: Explain that to me? It is not the master….?

JOHN: I’m not Picasso, but that fabulous energy that I love…

MYRNA: Is you.

JOHN: Is me.

KRIS: So for you then, the Picasso is a reflection of your own resonance and it is the same for each individual. Now, take this map to another degree. What would Picasso or Michelangelo’s own resonances be reflected through?

JOHN: Well, if we’re going to a different level, at this level they are reflected through all the other masters that they experienced in their life.

KRIS: Indeed!

JOHN: At another level up here….it’s their own Essence stuff that’s being reflected there.

KRIS: Indeed, so that gives you almost a three-dimensional map of consciousness. It can get complex because there are deep layers of resonances that your species is completely unaware of, but it gives you an inkling as to the interrelationships that weave themselves from one pattern into another, constantly transforming the very concept of creativity.

JOHN: Well that’s….you’ve gone too far now.

(Riotous laughter)

If we’re going to be creative with the concept of creativity, I…I…you know…it gets pretty spooky for me!

MARK: (Laughing) Map it out!

JOHN: How do you map the darn thing if it’s changing all the time?

(Laughter)

KRIS: That is the difference between consciousness and the world of appearances. The world of appearances APPEARS to be a world of sameness, of consistency, continuity, but it is changing in ways that are often not perceived.

JOHN: Actually that raises an interesting question now that we’re offline. I recently read a piece by the Pleiadians. Here’s my question in brief: all this stuff about expanding our awareness of Self, loving ourselves, paying attention in the now, all these basic things that we’ve been getting into in the last decade….I have been thinking that these were an end in themselves and that the goal was to be paying attention to the Now, and to be more aware of the breadth of Self, and choices and the fact that I can create what I want in this life. I’m beginning to catch a glimpse of the possibility that all of this stuff is just the footsteps in the hallway and that there’s a very big and wonderful surprise just over the horizon for us as a species.

MARK: Always.

KRIS: And it should also be pointed out that it is not necessarily that you are expanding your awareness and so on and so forth, but simply recognizing the extent to which you have limited your perceptions by breaking down the barriers to recognize that which is already expanded.

JOHN: Right. Yes, I understand that. I understand the distinction that you’re making there.

KRIS: Indeed. The child does not strive to become a teenager and strive to become an adult. It merely grows into those states and stages. They are pre-existent in themselves. The difference is how the child WILL grow into the adolescent and teenager and the adult. Those states already exist.

JOHN: Right, so it’s a remembrance.

KRIS: It is indeed a discovery because it is pre-existent, just as Columbus did not discover America. It was pre-existing and fully inhabited.

JOHN: So from Columbus’ point of view, the issue for him was how precisely he sailed across the ocean, not getting there. So the issue for me in my life is how I’m living this moment, not how expanded I might be compared to yesterday.

KRIS: Indeed. What is the Now for you?

JOHN: And where am I locating myself in the map of consciousness in this Now.

MYRNA: Kris, I’d like to, with Mark and John…I was told this week by somebody who’s observed me….doesn’t know me well…but has observed me…I work out at a Curves and she said to me as she has observed me, that I am the most unthreatening person….I would just like to mark how I have let go of many limitations to get to the point that somebody can say to me that I’m unthreatening…and she was saying so much more than that.

KRIS: Indeed.

MYRNA: Because that’s not who I was, and I just want to celebrate my journey and appreciation of myself for getting here!

(Laughter and applause)

JOHN: So marked! Let the record show.

KRIS: Indeed and a lovely observation that you recognized that you are not a threat to your own self.

MYRNA: Right.

KRIS: AND this individual could only have noticed this because you created a resonance within her as well.

MYRNA: Of course. I will ponder that…I missed that part where I’m not a threat to self! (Laughs) Which is very important!

KRIS: You never were.

MYRNA: I never was?

KRIS: You had to acknowledge it. Now then, we will leave you to your wonderful resonances, your wonderful, artistic, creative selves…Picasso’s, Rembrandts, Michelangelo’s all.

JOHN: Thank you Kris.

KRIS: Now we trust that you are comfortable.

TOM: Yes, hello Kris.

KRIS: And we thank you for your consideration. And it does seem as if your gizmo is fully functional.

TOM: Yes. We’re getting great sound quality. Everything sounds good over here. We have Anya. She is listening in, in a listen only mode (Internet conference – she’s without a microphone). She will be listening in on the session today, if that’s okay?

KRIS: Indeed, we have no objections.

TOM: Well Kris, I’d like to ask you a question from last time, we talked about Ht’ Ptah and I was wondering about typing that transcript for the web site. Is that something that should be published on the web site, that type of information?

KRIS: What is your impression or feeling on that subject matter?

TOM: I go back and fourth. You said that there are built in safeguards so then it shouldn’t be a problem but then I just think of people that might misuse it, that possibility of it being misused. And the weapons of mass destruction as you had commented. I wondered if this is something you want people to know through this session?

KRIS: From our own perspective we have no difficulties or objections either way. The decision rests upon you.

TOM: OK. I just didn’t want to make the wrong decision – perhaps a couple of other questions about Ht’ Ptah. I made some progress and went there a couple times after you had told me how to do that, and it was just like you said. The first time I ended up in a room and there was a lecture going on. The person was talking to a group of (approximately) thirty people about a technology. The person said that many young people died from this noise technology. I pretty sure I was at the right place.

What is your impression? That was Ht’ Ptah and I was indeed at one of the lectures at Ht’ Ptah?

KRIS: Perhaps we can ask you this. What is your comprehension of the subject matter?

TOM: You had spoken about the subject matter before, sound technology being used to destroy an entire planet.

KRIS: Indeed.

TOM: I went there and there was a group of people and there was a lecture. I was in a very lucid state and it was as you describe (the hall). I was curious why he said young people had died. I can see why he would have said noise, because noise (can be) an unwanted sound technology. I was wondering … maybe it was my translation of what was said. (If) young people had died, then I would assume that old people had died also, from the technology.

KRIS: And what is your impression or understanding of Ht’ Ptah?

TOM: It is a large center of cultural information for many cultures many dimensions, many pasts, and futures, a place for exchange of ideas and learning. Well supervised and organized, definitely a hierarchy and a structure. Strict admissions, as you had said.

I don’t travel that way in my dreams very often. I only do that every six months or so that I know of. Normally (my projections) would be only to the end of a hallway or to the end of a street, not realizing that I could have gone anyplace else.

So I went there twice since we last spoke and I guess I’m just anxious, hoping every night to go there and not going there as often as I would like. You mentioned that there were certain requirements to get in there. I feel like I’ve been there but I have my own doubts as to whether I meet the requirements, because I haven’t gone there that often.

KRIS: You would not have any conscious memory had you not met even those simple requirements. Now you most likely do not recall every instance that you travel in this area of consciousness. It is difficult enough for physically directed awareness to even make sense of those kinds of areas, the activities, and the great deal of communications that exist in those centers.

Now what you recall of course will be a translation, one where you consciously still make concerted efforts to gather and keep as much of the material as possible whilst you travel on your return to physical consciousness. And along the way some of the concepts may seem to have been dropped off. But they are not necessarily lost. What you remember is at the conscious level, but you have a complete memory of all of the events of that journey. It is not lost.

You may find over months and years that small shards of those memories may indeed appear on the surface of your consciousness. They may appear as isolated ideas, or even parts of or incomplete portions of ideas, which can easily lead to dismissal since it does not seem to fit in the rest of the puzzle.

That is why we have very often strongly emphasized to pay attention, notice especially those random pieces of ideas that seem to float to the surface, especially when they appear to be completely disconnected with anything else you might be focusing on at the moment. Such a practice really fine-tunes your own receptive mechanisms and abilities to draw to yourself, larger and larger pieces of information that may initially appear incomplete and perhaps even inconsequential. But the more you widen your net, the bigger pieces that you can catch. Do you follow?

TOM: Yes.

KRIS: So this does require practice but it is not something that has to be done in a militant fashion, but with a fun nature.

TOM: (Is that) on a regular basis?

KRIS: As often as you think of it but without necessarily straining or going out of your way in that manner. Especially when you are engaged in common activities, things that do not require a great deal of mental concentration such as household chores, perhaps washing the dishes, sweeping floors or vacuuming, other supposedly boring activities which enables consciousness to start focusing inwardly and catching those pieces of mental driftwood that comes upon the shores of your own beaches of consciousness.

TOM: Okay, in order to get into that state other than doing mundane tasks, I believe that once before you mentioned a method where we slow down our thoughts.

KRIS: Indeed, it is a matter of playing with the stream of your own consciousness where you can accelerate or slow down your own processes. Now this is not the same thing as trying to think faster and faster or slower and slower.

TOM: It’s not okay.

KRIS: Indeed not. It is more so to begin with an intent and then more or less in a calm frame of mind, perhaps sitting quietly, most preferably choosing a time where you will not be disturbed by any gizmos or otherwise. And once in that frame of mind with the intent, whether to tune into slower streams of consciousness or faster more accelerated streams of consciousness, to start being receptive and notice what comes your way. Again there is that noticing thing.

And you might even experience physiological responses when you tap into a flow of consciousness that is more accelerated you might feel a physical response, perhaps notice that certain energy levels will accelerate in your body, and not in the same sense as if you drink an espresso. That you will feel in terms of consciousness there is indeed an acceleration here or an slowing down. And again the issue is practice to refine your methods to obtain those very states.

TOM: Yes. That’s what I want to do. I’ve noticed recently (the last three weeks) that I haven’t been able to get into those states as easily and it seemed like I wasn’t able to access that portion of my mind or those channels of information were not forthcoming, whereas previous to that I would have instances when I could just feel things changing, see some colors, and know that a channel of information would be there. It would be so much information that I couldn’t write fast enough to keep up with it. So that just turned it self off the last three weeks. I decided that I need to practice but it sounds like I don’t want to try too hard, that there’s a fine line that I need to find here.

KRIS: Indeed, a question of balance, and do take in consideration that it is not unusual for a period of reprieve simply as your own neurological biological system adjust to those shifts in frequencies if you so desire a term. Do you follow?

TOM: Yes I do. I was worried about that. So the slowing down of the thoughts (and) the mind is to get into that state, it is not a regimented “I will think slower”.

KRIS: Indeed.

TOM: It is more of a “how relaxed am I right now” and then… It’s almost hard to grasp.

KRIS: That is correct because it is not a subject matter that is typically discussed within your civilization and educational system. You may have no references for it.

TOM: Right very slippery.

KRIS: Now indeed, it is rather unknown. Now when we earlier suggested it is not a matter of you deliberately trying to “slow down your thoughts” [spoken very slowly by Kris], or “speed them up very fast” [Kris speaks very fast here] it is not necessarily a matter of you implementing such actions.

However, you may indeed notice that this occurs on its own. That is why the noticing is so important, because without that you might be, or anyone else might be tempted to deliberately impose that upon their own system and think therefore they have attained that state. That would not necessarily the case.

When you notice that as a side effect of connecting with that stream of energy, somehow or the other you are in witnessing position and you take into account that your thought processes have shifted into lower gear or into higher gear or overdrive. Then you are toggling between two states at once.

Your normal witnessing or observational mode that is one position one perspective, and from that perspective you can also engage either (of) these slowed down or exhilarated processes. That creates a twin position. You have your own perspective, that of the witness and you are also able to experience the shifted stream of consciousness.

TOM: Ok. So would a regimented or (on a) regular basis, the Practice of Perspective would be a good aid?

KRIS: Indeed it is a very nice lead-in and it will prime the pump so to speak. And with some proficiency where you are more easily practiced at slipping into either a shifted, slowed down or exhilarated stream of consciousness, you can also enter such a state prior to falling asleep and deliberately project into that stream for very interesting lucid experiences.

TOM: Ok. Now before falling asleep, what do you recommend before falling asleep? Would you recommend the noticing or do you recommend any simple carefree fun exercise right before falling asleep that might assist?

KRIS: You might even chose simply to enter the same kind of meditative mood as if you were trying this exercise during the day.

TOM: Okay.

KRIS: And once you glide into that zone you recognize the imprint of that zone, you would by then be perhaps closer to falling asleep and then simply allow your energy, your consciousness to project into those areas.

TOM: Now the projection of consciousness, especially once I’m asleep, I have a question about that. The first time I had a lot of energy and I projected (with) no problem to Ht’ Ptah. I tried it a couple of times after that and I maybe went perhaps nowhere, energy just fizzled I felt it. I also had experiences where I was too conscious. I was too awake (and) I couldn’t go anywhere. And then the last time when I did have success I didn’t want that to happen again so what I did I tried to lull myself deeper into the dream state before projecting and that worked really well.

I was sleeping but I was lucid and I counted to three taking myself deeper and deeper like where I almost forgot what I was doing, and then I projected, and that kept me deep enough, so to speak, in order to project. Could you commend on the energy required to project. What energies are required and how are they stored and accessed?

KRIS: This does to a certain degree require mental energies and a certain degree of physical biological energy. Now there is an herb that is indeed a small root from Peru. It is called Maca. And this can be utilized very nicely taken perhaps a half an hour (with water) before going to sleep, with the intention of projecting. It will provide the brain with nutrients as well as many other benefits to the physical system. It will provide nutrients to the brain in such a manner that it is in top form for the activities of the night.

TOM: Ok. Great, I also noticed that when projecting I had my hands over my heart as I was sleeping and I could feel an energy beam going right through my hands. Is the solar plexus or the heart charka – (Does) the energy when projecting coming from that area?

KRIS: There is an interplay between all of the various energy centers. Therefore it is not necessarily one isolated center but a balance is required. And you utilize that entire system to your advantage even though you might not necessarily comprehend how or what is occurring. Now an addition to the Maca is another South American herb called Yerba Mate. You may even combine your Yerba with the Maca. Yerba Mate has an unique property, amongst other properties an unique one, of being able to augment or enhance the properties of any other herbs combined with it.

TOM: Oh, OK. And then you don’t recommend espresso in general for projecting or anything like that?

KRIS: Indeed not.

TOM: I thought that was the case. Now, the energy balance you described that we don’t really need to be physically aware of. The energy balance (I’m guessing) is shifted from what the energy balance may be during the day. The level shifts a certain way when we project?

KRIS: Indeed. It is not unlike when you have your radio tuner with all your wonderful knobs. During certain times perhaps there is a piece of music that you truly enjoy listening (to), so you would crank up the volume. So by concentrating inwardly you naturally augment your own sensitivity to the energies flowing in and around you. The mere act of intending to travel inwardly can trigger the concentration and enhancement of the energy system. That is why you may very likely had felt that augmented energy within the hands themselves.

TOM: Yes.

KRIS: It appears as if the charka energy system is somewhat located, each center in a specific area of the body, but that is not necessarily the case. It is not biophysically located anywhere.

TOM: The locations are just for our reference to give us something we can grasp onto with our minds.

KRIS: Indeed, certain aspects of the human body and their own functional energies tie in to some of the energy centers. That is why there is the sensation in very physical terms that certain charkas are found in the lower body middle body upper body head etc. They are not physically located within the body. That is your understanding and interpretations, and that is quite sufficient.

However, they are a network of energy centers that do not necessarily exist in any kind of time-space continuum, but they are the flows of energies from Essence itself. And from that Essence perspective, you as an Expression of Essence are connected to that large system and you need those connections. Perhaps an excellent method of expressing this is with a projector that projects imagery upon the white screen, the projector screen. There is a source of light that is required to project the image unto the screen correct?

TOM: Correct.

KRIS: In a rather crude analogy then, the source of light, Essence, is utilized to project a specific image, an expression, a unique expression of itself onto the screen of time-space, with time-space being a temporary construction. And that projection becomes then what you call physical reality with all of its uniqueness carefully matched to your needs, the very needs that you create, everything being again a projection of your energy, you being a projection of Essence.

TOM: A question then, the exercise that you gave us at the last international session where we balance our energies…

KRIS: That what is now commonly called the “fingering exercise” [Balancing Touch]?

TOM: (laughing) That’s the one. I’m thinking that that would be a good exercise to keep up with for someone that wants to project. You need that flow of energy to be balanced in your body in order to project and to shift properly. Is that correct?

KRIS: Indeed, that would be an excellent interpretation. Much like you would prefer that your car is tuned properly for any long trip, to avoid any problems down the road. In a similar manner balancing your own energies would benefit your state of mind, would put aside any concerns from the day, because those can also impede upon projections of consciousness.

TOM: Yes.

KRIS: If your mind is overly fixated on “this happened at the office”,” that happened today”; you get into a hamster wheel. And that (exercise) would help to create a sense of balance and harmony within the body and focus the mind differently. It would jail your thoughts to your intent.

TOM: That’s what I need. I’ve noticed that just speaking the intent does not always brings the results that I want. I was thinking I had to be more regimented, but now I’m seeing that it’s getting a good feel for what needs to be done.

KRIS: We have maintained for a very long time that a physical action, making these theories and concepts and presentations visceral in any fashion, can also greatly anchor the experience. Does that make sense to you?

TOM: Yes, do you want to give an example of that?

KRIS: We believe the example of touching the various points of the body as we described is self-explanatory and if you need more clarification the following evening we expanded slightly on the subject. We believe the transcript will be up soon and Sohars has kindly generated a diagram of each point that is to be found in New Worldview.

TOM: Ok, I’ll take a look at that.

KRIS: It is a thread that he started.

TOM: Oh, I saw that I saw the diagram.

KRIS: Indeed.

TOM: I was wondering if I could switch over to another topic here that may be slightly related. I find that when I’m chanting your chants, I connect with a certain type of energy. I believe we were told that the chants convey information not expressible in our language. And I’ve noticed that the chants seem to have an effect on my dreams also. So I’m wondering is energy released while doing these chants and I’m wondering where the energy comes from?

KRIS: It would be quite natural that the dream states are enhanced with the energy within those chants, because some of the energy conveyed through the chants is off course non-physical. And since the physical aspects of your being are indeed a small portion of whom and what you are, it stands to reason somewhat that the non-physical aspects of your being would respond to non-physical information. In return the physical aspects of you might respond in one-way or the other to a lesser degree. In the same manner that you do not see the wind, but you know of its presence by the rustling of the leaves on the tree, so the body would resonate with the exchanges of information that occurs on the nonphysical level and you would get the reverberations or echoes.

TOM: I feel that, does that also stimulate the neurons?

KRIS: There is no doubt, as you have experienced.

TOM: (laughing) That’s true. I’m wondering exactly where the energy comes from then within those chants. I’m wondering is that from Kris or the Brahm entity or Desiré my Essence or is it perhaps none of the above even. I’m not sure (of) the source of the energy.

KRIS: The energy does not necessarily come from any specific source. It is that which exists. Whether it is Brahm, ourselves, your essence that interprets the energy, it does not necessarily mean that it is its source, but rather a means to convey the energy. Much like this computer software gismo, the discussions do not originate with the microphone headset, nor with the computer, nor with the software conveying our conversations nearly halfway around the globe. Correct? It conveys that conversation; provides a vehicle to transmit it. The discussion itself…

TOM: The chants are also a vehicle?

KRIS: Indeed. The chants are also a vehicle for that energy. Does that make some sense to you?

TOM: Yes it does. I was wondering about that. I’d stopped listening to the chants, I was doing it on a nightly basis for a while and I just had some amazing lucid dreams. A while back I had recorded the chants over and over, (to) make each chant into a five minutes track. Some amazing things where happening. I actually felt a little lightning bolt across my chest at one point, and I was just wondering is this breaking through some threshold? I think I might go back to doing that (listening to the chants at night).

KRIS: Indeed. You can also utilize that energy with your intent to tap into an accelerated state and project into lucid states from there. The idea is to have fun. When a child sees a children’s playground with the slides and we believe what is still called the monkey bars, and all of the wonderful things to climb and slide on, the child does not do an architectural analyses. Indeed instead the child literally puts aside all human concerns and has fun as only a child can. Does that make sense?

TOM: Yes it does, great idea.

KRIS: Indeed. Consider all of these tools as the various fun items in the playground of your consciousness. And then explore see what happens when you play with what.

TOM: Ok I’ll do that it’s very exciting. If I could I would like to switch the topic over to dreams. I’ve just had a small question here it’s actually something that was on the website about I think it was a purple Martian dream. I also have dreams where I find myself doing battle in my dreams.

KRIS: Do understand that this dream was a Purple Martin, a bird.

TOM: Oh a Martin … it was a bird …Ok. I often find myself doing battle in my dreams with others and I’m wondering does this show a lack of compassion and should it be stopped.

KRIS: Indeed not. You might be observing yourself grappling with various issues. Regardless of the appearances or the battles, perhaps there are issues that you need to come to grips with, to understand to resolve. Allow them to be played out and observe, record the dreams.

TOM: Yes, I’m recording all my dreams and I usually end up defeating my adversary unfortunately. But recently I dream that and rather then battling the adversary I demanded that the adversary be nurturing and show compassion and I literally yelled this at the adversary in the dream, which is different then anything I’ve ever done before, and I’m wondering is this a more correct approach or perhaps it shows that I’m applying the material and growing myself.

KRIS: Indeed. You are observing your own transformations in progress at those levels, and you might even be dealing with issues that are not quite consciously within your grasp yet. Issues dealing with other layers of your awareness, which will also deal with belief structures, the manner in which you attempt to solve issues of your own past for instance, or even issues you are trying to understand. Allow them to be played out.

TOM: Different approaches to the issues so that I might see it in different perspectives in the dream state.

KRIS: Indeed.

TOM: I was wondering about that, I seemed to do battle quite frequently. It appears to be (that) in my dreams, that I’m not usually as conscious as I would like to be, thinking about my decisions. This time I was conscious enough to actually take a different approach to the situation.

I find that even when I walk down the street now, I try to take a different approach to people as they pass by, people that are looking to start a fight or had a bad day and are looking to start a fight. I try when, if I see them approaching, I try to get myself in the mindset of: “How can I help you, is there something I can do for you?” A kind of a nurturing mindset as I pass this person rather then a defensive aggressive posture as I pass the person, because that is my natural response I am trying to change that, with the hope of perhaps having less confrontations here.

KRIS: Indeed. Perhaps that nurturing approach you seek can be given rather naturally without much effort on your part, especially any berating of yourself along those lines, something as simple as mentally offering the individual whatever blessings they may need for that day. They are free to use the energy as they see fit, and you merely merrily go on your way.

TOM: Excellent. Yes, that is a great Idea. I’m going to try that next time.

KRIS: And by the same token, when you see people milling about to and froth, whether they look like tourist or residents, perhaps a slight shift in your awareness can also become an interesting game. Such as trying to imagine and wondering how many of these people within your sight or within the street are projections of their own…how do we say? That they simply themselves would be projections of someone sleeping halfway around the world.

TOM: (laughing) I’ve wondered about that Kris, you have mentioned that here that people are projections some are maybe projections and I’ve tried to grapple with that in my mind and I just it’s hard for me to…

KRIS: Indeed, you may never find out who is what, but the idea is notice the shift that occurs in your consciousness when you enter that frame of mind. It would indeed be rather surreal.

TOM: Oh, okay.

KRIS: You may never necessarily know if the individual walking ahead of you on the sidewalk or towards you is a projection from someone sleeping in another part of the world where it is night, and perhaps they desired to have a quick peek at the Hawaiian landscape. Or the atmosphere perhaps intending for a future vacation or a holiday or a trip of some kind or merely that this is the only means they have to actually travel is through projections. Thus, they would project an image of themselves to that location and remember dreams upon waking of having been on a place that reminded them of Hawaii, perhaps Waikiki beach or other areas.

TOM: The state of mind associated with it.

KRIS: Indeed. That cultivation of that frame of mind you would enter into can be most pleasant to play with.

TOM: So the frame of mind of the person who walks by where I get the impression that there is something surreal about this person’s journey?

KRIS: On the contrary. Observe your frame of mind when you begin to play with the idea of wondering who is truly here (and) who might be sleeping in other part of the world and projecting their image to this location. And observe that surreal like frame of mind that may even come over you, because it will distort slightly your focus and allow you to enter into a mild altered state. You may never know who is projecting or not, but the idea is to observe the frame of mind you develop and play with it. It will stretch the boundaries of your imagination.

TOM: I’ll do that. It sounds exciting. Also, I had one other quick question about the dreaming. When you project in a dream is the name required to go to a specific place or can it just be described.

KRIS: Even simple intent is more then often quite sufficient.

TOM: I see, so the name that does not specifically need to be given.

KRIS: There is no requirement for that, but if you do have a name then by all means utilize it as well.

TOM: Ok. I guess I’m good for today unless you have any other comments you would like to make Kris?

KRIS: Along with our very last suggestion of playing with the idea that perhaps, not everyone you see on the street is physically real in that sense of the word, but maybe a projection of someone sleeping elsewhere in the world.

Occasionally, widen the very idea of this playtime with consciousness and imagine that perhaps even this whole location – Hawaii – where you reside, including your participation, is a dream. And see where your own perspective stretches there. It is one of the prime vacation destinations of the world correct?

TOM: Yes.

KRIS: Indeed. From our perspective, it is very likely that there are as many physical as non-physical people milling about.

TOM: Wow!

KRIS: Now to someone that is only physically focused, such a statement would appear as entirely ludicrous and if not even bordering on the insane, however there might also be some interesting activities going on at those layers of projections.

TOM: So widening of perspectives and perhaps an energy that I can relate to at those levels?

KRIS: Indeed, so have fun playing with consciousness. It is indeed a bigger amusement park then Disney could dream of.

TOM: That’s great yes! Well thank you Kris I appreciate it.

KRIS: You are indeed most welcome and we thank our silent listener.

TOM: Anya.

KRIS: And we return Joseph to you.

TOM: Thank you.

(Session ends.)

Happy Go Lucky!

July 23, 2006

Channeled by Serge J. Grandbois and Transcribed by Ellen Gilbert (Kwaa’Ji)
Recorded in Toronto, Canada on July 23, 2006

Roll Call: Serge (Joseph), Mark (Philip), John (Sohars), Myrna (Shara-Leene) and Bill

(7:45 PM)

KRIS: Now we trust that you are comfortable and we thank you for your consideration…all considerations carefully considered!

(Laughter)

(To Bill) And we thank you for sharing your own presence with our small, intimate group of friends.

BILL: Thank you.

KRIS: You have been, in so many words, on a long journey. This particular focus, or experience of Self has also seen its extremes, but unlike other focuses, the extremes within this one lifetime are rather mild compared to others. So in this lifetime you are seeking balance, and even though you may still tend to go on tangents, your main ideal with this experience is to find that inner balance where you have at least a modicum of inner peace. And this has been a struggle, perhaps your whole life long, but it has also brought many rewards, some which you may still never fathom, at least not completely.

But this one particular lifetime has also been enriching in many ways that bring a certain level of peace and even wisdom to other focuses. During a rebellion in India against a group of “Ferengi”, not your science fiction! (Mark laughs at the “Star Trek reference) But if you wish….commerce-besotted Brits….you suffered loss of life in a rather deplorable condition during a siege that lasted quite some time. You were a young woman unprepared for anything but a life of being a socialite where everything is handed to you and though you survived longer than others, it caused you undue stress to have, at such an age, to learn how to do simple things like get water for yourself, learn to kill your own food, cook it, and survive in deplorable conditions.

From that experience you also gathered an almost fierce sense of independence, being prepared for many situations and your experiences in this lifetime bring to this young lady a certain sense of resolve and inner strength she did not know she could possibly possess. Now with that, we again welcome you to our humble evening and may you leave here with new tools and perspectives. And since once again we are a nice small group, perhaps you would all enjoy a happy-go-lucky evening!

JOHN: (Chuckling) Right on!

KRIS: Do consider this a free-for-all.

MYRNA: I have a question.

KRIS: Indeed.

MYRNA: I’m working with beliefs, and uncovering beliefs, so this evening…this is a light one, so it’s interesting in light of the work I’ve been doing which has been pretty intense….I’m driving here and I noticed in front of me someone throwing a Kleenex out the window and I can get pretty bothered by people who I’m assuming show disrespect for my….or for me. I consider the road something I contribute to and it’s not something I would do.

So, what am I hearing for myself here? I created this situation, I know that. What am I drawing my attention to? In a conversation with John it might be as simple as I can get pretty tied up in knots around “shoulds”, that being one of them, you know, “one should not do those kinds of things, blah, blah, blah.” And that can limit me, you know? Because maybe one day I’ll want to spontaneously throw a Kleenex out the window.

KRIS: And perhaps the question is do you throw it out the window before or after you use it?

MYRNA: (Laughing) I’m working with….I get confused around events and their purposes. I understand I couldn’t control the events, I understand if my reactions to them are below middle C that I’ve drawn that contrast or that event to get my attention around some sort of limiting belief, but can those contrasts, those difficult situations, or something that causes me grief, could it also be that it’s an opportunity to clarify how far I’ve come, rather than a limiting belief? Do you know what I mean?

KRIS: We understand your pretty dilemma with the situation and it is a beautiful exercise nonetheless. Firstly, what was your immediate reaction?

MYRNA: Pissed off.

KRIS: Indeed, especially from people you assume should know better.

MYRNA: Right.

KRIS: Where in your existence, this present lifetime, is it possible that you yourself may have been reprimanded for something others insisted you should have known better? Where in your present existence do you also engage the “You should know better” inner dialog?

MYRNA: Towards others or towards myself?

KRIS: Whether it is others or yourself, it is still yourself.

MYRNA: I have recently accused my daughter of being irresponsible for the holiday she plans to take this week to Israel….so I have a son…and a daughter and a son-in-law to be…going to be in Israel on Thursday, and I have said to her… and I’m being harsh on myself when I use the word “accuse,”, but I did say “I think you’re being irresponsible,” and I could have said, “And you should know better.” Oh, and by the way, Kris, I would really like to know what to do with myself over the next two weeks, other than make myself sick over this.

KRIS: Perhaps a very good dry martini!

(Group laughter)

MYRNA: (Chuckling) For two weeks!

KRIS: A very big one!

[MARK’S NOTES: Israel is in a state of war. Myrna’s son is in Turkey and is planning on returning to Israel to meet up with his sister and future brother-in-law who are planning on leaving Canada for Israel on Thursday.]

MYRNA: So the knowing….all right, let’s continue with that please….so that dialog about “I should know better,” or “someone should know better…”

KRIS: Indeed. Where do you think it echoes in your own existence and quite likely in the very recent past in conjunction with your children?

MYRNA: I don’t know. That’s not what came up for me. I don’t know…do you know? (Laughing) Please help me! I can think of something in my childhood…

KRIS: It may merely be a tissue that was so casually and perhaps even thoughtlessly tossed, but it implies something else. It implies a certain sense, as you have pointed out, of responsibilities: what people should know better to do than to do something so nonchalant and casual as perhaps take their own lives to be as little importance as anyone who would take a tissue that you toss. And there may very well be other episodes in your own life where a certain appearance of lack of responsibility could also be part of the picture for you.

MYRNA: Well that’s very true right now, actually.

KRIS: Indeed and how does that energy feel when it seems to smack you between the eyes?

MYRNA: Well, the word that came up for me was “degrading”….um…belittling…dismissive…hurtful….

KRIS: And what do you associate those descriptives with?

MYRNA: A lack of respect for choice…for my choice.

KRIS: And to dig deeper, how does it make you feel?

MYRNA: Unworthy.

KRIS: So in so many words, you may still allow others, or certain others, to more or less make you feel that way.

MYRNA: Well, I’ve gotten to the stage of understanding that there are no others! (Chuckling) That I…there’s no other agency…so I understand that certain situations come up in my life right now to get my attention that I still have this sense of unworthiness.

KRIS: Indeed.

MYRNA: How does this go back to the Kleenex? (Laughing) Or does it matter?

KRIS: The tissue may merely have been a small image that triggered…

MYRNA: Oh, uh-huh.

KRIS: …a cascading effect.

MYRNA: Yeah.

KRIS: Now…

MYRNA: (Breaking in) I have created situations in my life right now that seem to mirror the voice that I carry around my choices around work. I have made very deliberate choices that I will not engage in work with certain people or certain kinds of projects unless there’s love involved. That is my choice. Right now I am very poor.

KRIS: That obviously needs to change.

MYRNA: Correct and what I’ve just come to understand is that I can be loved and have love AND be prosperous. I always thought I had to choose.

BILL: Actually I agree. I’ve thought the same thing.

MYRNA: I thought I had to choose, and I’m beginning to understand that I can be both.

KRIS: Now we merely fast-forward the understanding so that you can get back on track. Firstly, what have you learned from your recent study of EFT?

MYRNA: Oooo, this is eerie….what have I learned?…Hmmm…

KRIS: Have you learned the basic principle?

MYRNA: Yes, I have.

KRIS: Indeed. Have you practiced it?

MYRNA: I did it over one issue.

KRIS: Indeed then…

MYRNA: But that issue’s not disappeared.

KRIS: It might be to your considerable advantage to EFT THIS issue.

MYRNA: Love and prosperity…no, irresponsibility…

KRIS: Your sentiments and feelings of unworthiness, dealing directly with that feeling.

MARK: Are there any side issues of powerlessness?

KRIS: That, for the moment, would actually be irrelevant. What needs to be addressed and in this case, acknowledged, addressed and accepted through EFT, would be that feeling of unworthiness and every single associated tone, exactly as brought up by the tissue. The “Tissue Issue.”

(Riotous laughter)

Now are you willing to give it a go?

MYRNA: Yes, definitely. I’ll do it.

KRIS: (Repeats meaningfully) Are you willing to give it a go?

MYRNA: Oh! You mean right now?

KRIS: Indeed.

MYRNA: Uh, sure!

KRIS: There is no better time than the present.

MYRNA: Uh.. yes! (Chuckling)

KRIS: Please feel free to do so. (To John) You may even assist.

MYRNA: Yes, hold on a second…

KRIS: You actually have worked at it together?

MYRNA: We have.

JOHN: Okay. Do you want me to help?

MYRNA: Yeah…right now I remember I need a minute at the beginning.

JOHN: Yes, it’s go in the (uses his hands to gesture).

KRIS: It should deal directly with this tissue issue. (Myrna giggles) We are being serious.

MYRNA: I know.

KRIS: The feeling has to come up.

JOHN: So something like: “Even though I have this feeling from the tissue issue, I still respect myself deeply and completely.”

MYRNA: Yeah, I have to do that three times.

KRIS: It is important to acknowledge the issue in question.

[MARK’S NOTES: EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique involves repetitive affirmations and repetitive hand motions, as well as touching the body in a variety of specific locations in sequence. Myrna goes through these motions.]

MYRNA: Even though I have this sense of….not being good enough….I deeply and completely accept myself. Even though I have this sense of not being good enough, I deeply and completely accept myself. Even though I have this sense of not being good enough, I deeply and completely accept myself.

(Repeating many times:) This sense of not being good enough, this sense of not being good enough, this sense of not being good enough. (Etcetera)

JOHN: (Prompts Myrna with the next steps of the process) Eyes in a circle one way, eyes in a circle the other way…

MYRNA: (Hums the “Happy Birthday” melody to herself and repeats many times:) The sense of not being good enough, the sense of not being good enough….

(Long pause)

KRIS: Now then, to wrap this up, as you may have become familiar, on a scale of zero to ten, where do you now, ten being utmost relief, where do you situate the issue?

MYRNA: (Pause) Six or seven.

KRIS: And do you find this is an improvement prior to your doing?

MYRNA: I think it is. What I’m left with is a sense of sadness that I have a lot of human heart and to not feel that I’m good enough makes me sad. And I will work with that, because it’s good to know what the sadness…..I will move that sadness.

KRIS: Indeed.

MYRNA: Yes, I will move that sadness….I think it’s already moved.

KRIS: Indeed, and along those same lines, even though the tissue-tossing affair seemed to have stirred a certain sense of outrage within you, do you perceive that, were you to encounter such an issue again, that it might necessitate a similar sense of outrage, or that you would be willing to forgo it?

MYRNA: What I’ve learned….I will forgo it. What I’ve learned today is a sense of “should”, you know the finger-pointing “Should”, a very disruptive energy.

KRIS: Indeed, because there is a great deal of power with the “should” finger!

JOHN: (Chuckling)

MYRNA: A great deal. Yes a GREAT deal of power with that “should” finger.

KRIS: (Softly) Indeed.

MYRNA: And I used to use it a great deal. Just… [Myrna begins pointing her finger madly, but comically. Soon everyone is doing it.]

(Group laughter)

MARK: Did you have a question, Bill?

[MARK’S NOTES: Prior to the start of the session I was explaining the “Balancing Touch” that Kris taught us on Saturday, July 22, 2006.]

BILL: Yeah, if Kris doesn’t mind, the point that I brought up here in the early stages, when you mentioned the chakra system? I’m very much into…I think you might call it self-healing through the chakra system? And I’m trying to balance emotional, mental and physical bodies by using this, hopefully. I don’t know if it’s working or not, but is it possible to understand the seven chakras basically to bring about some form of self-healing?

KRIS: It is possible, however, it is also very easy to become lost in interpretations and semantics whether a wheel of energy spins one way or another, what kind of shades might also be implied in the colors, and so on and so forth. So it is a possibility, but there are other methodologies that actually can enable you to grasp your own sense of awareness and nurturing in very simple processes.

The references made earlier to last night’s discussions by ourselves in sectioning off these many energy centers within the body into four sectors is for convenience’s sake, mainly that you are aware of the overall functions of the energy centers in each region or section that we described.

The Earth section, the Water, the Air and the Fire are merely an interpretation, not meant to override any that anyone has known, but merely to provide an alternative as also a means to garner the energies within those areas that can accelerate your understanding of how energy flows through the body; what energy is, what the body is, what thoughts are, and how an individual may put themselves in situations where they may inadvertently or sometimes quite deliberately, sometimes out of fear, dead-end or block the flow of their own energies which causes restriction which can cause literal hosts of other problems within the human body. When you have symptoms and this is not limited to illnesses in the body, there may be mental patterns, thought patterns, but they are also disruptive and dead-ended, no means of release. Do you understand so far?

BILL: Yes, I think so.

KRIS: So there are ways to play with the energy circuitry since your forms are in themselves energy, which is often interpreted as electricity to one degree or another as is evidenced by EKG and EEG’s that show that the heart and the brain function by electrical impulses. Stop the electrical impulses, the heart and the brain also stop. Then you are considered dead meat. So there are ways to re-organize some of that circuitry, which we briefly demonstrated last night. If you are willing, we can easily demonstrate it with you as well.

BILL: Yes.

KRIS: After all, someone has to be a guinea pig!

BILL: I’ll have a go at it.

KRIS: Indeed. Perhaps you will also understand better if our gentleman were to stand here facing the fireplace. Now, we will take your right hand, and indicate to you, that with your right index finger put that fingertip on, do you know where your pubic bone is?

BILL: Yes.

KRIS: Put it on your pubic bone…that is fine…now release it and put it on the bottom of your sternum, which should be here….and then at the bottom of the throat…and then right here (Kris indicates for Bill to place his finger under the right eye)…here (between the eyes at the top of the nose)…the top of the head….on this area here (where the back of the skull meets the neck tendon on the right side)….indeed….and here (the bony protrusion just behind the right ear)… and then release the hand.

Now since we have helped you, you have not been in a frame of mind to do it yourself and concentrate on each move, but if you wanted to do that on your own, we can repeat it with you, and you can relax into the process…with this fingertip, gently on the pubic bone, then at the bottom of the sternum, the bottom of the throat, put it here on the cheekbone below the right eye, between your eyes, top of your head, the back of the head at the bony protrusion, and then behind the ear on the bony protrusion. That alone can….you can release it and you may feel free to sit down.

BILL: Thank you.

KRIS: That simple process can greatly assist in re-wiring the flow of your own electrical energy whenever there is a need, regardless of the situation that challenges you in any way, shape, or form. Does that make sense to you?

BILL: Yes.

KRIS: Done with intent and conscientiously, it is also possible to widen awareness and to literally notice that your own energies will shift and align in a manner that is beneficial to you. Do you follow?

BILL: Yes.

KRIS: Do you follow as well?

JOHN: Yeah, that’s fun!

KRIS: It only takes barely a few moments to do, but can be of great assistance, especially when you find yourself in a pinch. You may find this extremely practical to re-align what you consider your energy centers. Does that make sense to you?

BILL: It does to me, yes.

KRIS: Indeed.

MYRNA: Kris, I spent two years trying to work with the chakras and now I hear that within seconds of doing this….of course, you have to hold an intention with it, right?

KRIS: The intention may be to balance your own circuitry. That may be a main intent and there may be secondary intents, but the main one is to bring about balance.

BILL: Kris, excuse me for interrupting.

KRIS: Indeed.

BILL: You mentioned I’m in this lifetime to seek balance. Would this help me bring it about?

KRIS: You already have been on that journey for some time. This will assist you for yourself.

BILL: Okay, thank you.

KRIS: Now we suggest you take a small break. Tissue or not!

MARK: (Chuckling) 8:24.

(Break begins at 8:24 PM.)

The gang discusses the use of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). John jokes that this demonstration of Kris’ is like “Kris EFT: KEFT.”

Bill shares that he feels gratified that Kris offered him the information about his own personal journey of balance and healing and how he has been intrigued for years by the various methodologies available to open and balance the chakras. He has felt some trepidation however, because of warnings he has heard that opening the chakras too fast, or raising the energy prematurely can be damaging, which has caused him to be very cautious about attempting chakra work. He read about a very famous writer who created a lifetime of severe migraine headaches due to opening the chakras prematurely.

JOHN: (Jokingly) Yeah, as soon as there’s any kinds of warnings involved, I want to drop the whole issue!

BILL: (Chuckling) I think everything has a warning involved.

SERGE: (Humorously) You obviously didn’t read the warning fine print on Life!

(Laughter)

MYRNA: Actually, our meetings here with Kris have a very different take on what you’ve just described. If [that person] got a headache from it, from what I’ve learned, he chose to get a headache, and there are reasons why he chose to get a headache.

(Kris returns at 8:32 PM)

KRIS: Now we trust that you are all very nicely balanced, at least in some form or another. Are there any other questions that you have been mulling in your minds?

(Pause)

You do not have to all speak at once.

MYRNA: Oh, just give us a minute.

JOHN: I have a question for you, Kris. At one point….it may have been Brahm, can I assume you are familiar with whatever Brahm may have presented?

KRIS: Indeed.

JOHN: So he was talking about how there is the Entity level, and that Entities have many Essences, and then Essences have whatever number of focuses. Now, a question came up that evening was are we as focuses….is there another layer of stuff that we are spinning off in that same way? As focuses?

KRIS: You do generate many kinds of projections.

JOHN: Like probable selves and alternate selves and all that sort of thing?

KRIS: Of course by any other name.

JOHN: Essence.

KRIS: Indeed. That entails a great deal of emotionally-charged energies that you have not learned to connect with, and at this point in your situations, it still is slightly beyond your comprehension as to how you can directly benefit from the experiences of some of your own projections.

JOHN: I see….so we may be doing something similar but we’re just not aware of it.

KRIS: Indeed you are. Awareness is somewhat lacking, but at this point in time, you are barely able to grasp the concept of how you create your own realities. Suffice it to say that your own projections of energy are every bit as valid, but that is something for you to recognize. When you daydream and doodle and whatever else it is that you do at different periods of the day….say you are daydreaming about a beautiful beach in a tropical country because it is too cold here, and you imagine how wonderful it would be to rest in the sunshine, to feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, perhaps here the tropical waves lack the sandy beaches near where you are, lying in the sun.

Perhaps you see out of the corner of your eye, the tops of palm trees, lush greenery, and so on.

You often tend to dismiss these as little more than fantasies that have relatively no bearing upon your existence except perhaps to sharpen the edge of your frustration whilst you are in forty below weather, whence your imagination wants to be at the beach. However, with some small amount of practice it is possible for you to reflect and actually draw some conscious benefit from such reverie.

JOHN: Yes, actually I’m familiar with that to some degree. I was telling Myrna that when I was a kid, and it was a really hot summer night, watching television on the second floor where our TV room was, it was really hot and I can remember myself imagining a very large version of myself out the window flying in the breeze, and that actually helped cool me down a little bit, sitting in the hot room.

Can I ask a follow-up question about imagination which has bothering me a little bit? And that is, it seems to me that there are two different kinds of imagination, for me anyway. There’s the one kind of imagination where, in a daydream, the plot of the scenario just sort of comes to me, and I’m not doing it on purpose but I just suddenly have this interesting experience seemingly coming out of nowhere. Another kind of imagination is where I literally sit and say, “I am now imagining that I’ve won a million dollars,” and what I would do with that and I’m driving that scenario. Is that energetically two different kinds of things?

KRIS: You are still utilizing the auspices of that broad label that you call the imagination. One is more directly focused, the other you simply allow more free flow, but you are still utilizing the same thing, whether you are swimming in the river, or you are in a small boat with a motor, literally skimming on the surface. You are still in the river.

JOHN: Very nice analogy. Thank you.

KRIS: Both serve their purposes.

JOHN: Are they different purposes?

KRIS: Both can be utilized slightly differently, as one is a more consciously directed intent. The other one seems to procure a life of its own, but both are still the water in the river.

JOHN: Okay, that’s helpful.

MYRNA: Kris, I have a question. It’s about money…and it’s not about all of a sudden manifesting a million dollars. I’d like to become friends with this energy and I don’t even know what that means. I don’t know what that means. I’m aware lately, as I’ve emptied out my bank account, that I’d better figure out what this…(Laughing)….and I’ve been avoiding it up until now! But I’m aware that I chose a family that had not a great understanding of it.

It was never a friend, money, again whatever that energy is, it was never a friend. My parents struggled with it. I’d like to make it my friend, but I’d like to understand what I’m asking. I don’t get it which is why I’ve always thought I had to choose one or the other. Well, so I’d like to understand what money is…what is it? To see its energy doesn’t seem to satisfy. I need a better understanding of that.

KRIS: It is a rather complex situation, especially since your modern society has such a great emphasis placed upon it for many, many reasons and purposes. It is more than simply a piece of paper with print upon it. It carries value, a great deal of value from your society’s standards. So much so that people are willing to sacrifice OTHER’S lives, or even their own for it. It is a rather strange creature, energetically speaking, so it seems.

The assessment could also be said that it is a form of energy, and it would be accurate and not untrue, but it is more than energy in the sense that the microphone [pointing] or the glasses or the furniture is energy. You place various kinds of emphasis and importance to all of these items, but all of these items are begotten as a result of money, correct?

JOHN: Yes.

KRIS: So it provides the medium through which exchanges are engaged and its social values and consideration, especially in the modern world, are or is prized literally above all else in many instances, as if somehow or other it is money that can provide all of life’s necessities, but money can only provide for a certain amount of life’s necessities. But all of life’s necessities amount to no more than a small hill of beans if the individual’s own sense of value is somehow or other de-polarized. Do you understand that?

MYRNA: De-polarized?

KRIS: Not properly aligned.

MYRNA: I’m sorry, say again.

KRIS: Out of polarity.

MYRNA: Right. Yes and what was your statement? It amounts to a hill of beans?

KRIS: If the individual’s own sense of values, personal values, are not aligned. And this is not a reflection on the individual because there are many people who have very little money, but are basically aligned as far as their own personal values are concerned, and this can be demonstrated in many third world countries where the western way of life is of no great importance. Do you follow that?

MYRNA: Yes. I have a friend who I would say is aligned (Pointing at John). Please continue. It confuses me.

KRIS: The social structure of western society is built upon the monetary system and you are not the only individual to be confused. Many people usually are. Money has no bearing whether one is a good follower of a religion or another, whether one prays or meditates or is a good individual in that sense of the word. Money can be brought to the individual as a further extension of their own sense of self-worth if it so desired and intended.

And then again, there are those whose sense of self-worth is such that money per se, is kept to a minimum because of their own personal values. So it can be and we understand that it is a confusing issue, especially considering how life can be valued in a capitalist system. But then again, non-capitalist systems are very little different at times. It can even be said that money is a philosophical issue. It can be anything to anyone.

The main thrust is the individual’s intent, and that intent requires a certain amount of congruency so that the self is not necessarily divided upon the issues concerning beliefs about monetary gains and financial successes. And this is a rather broad statement. Suffice it to say that there are likely hundreds, if not thousands of different methods that claim to assist you or anyone, the individual in harnessing that energy, this power, to bring more money. Some claim that all you need do is visualize that on a daily basis you can see that your bank account has more and more funds.

Some claim that all you need do is visualize or meditate upon what your life would be like if you had a more prosperous income and there are dozens and hundreds of other methods that abound everywhere. Some claim that they have the secret to you making money. Some claim that if you work the real estate market in a certain way, you can aspire to be a millionaire. Thus, everyone buys into those systems and we would estimate that the percentage of those who actually make large amounts of funds from any of those systems and modalities is rather small. But the ones who DO make money are those who sell the dream. Do you follow?

MYRNA: Yes.

KRIS: So what is occurring here? It is the hope, the dream, the excitement. THAT is energy in action, when it can create sufficient momentum in the individual with his or her intent, then situations WILL be made manifest. The means by which they will then see that greenback come their way. They are still riding the dream, the hope, the intent. Do you understand that?

MYRNA: Yeah. Have I seen it? No, but do I understand it? Yes. (Chuckling)

KRIS: Perhaps the answer did not solicit great enthusiasm in a way in the sense that we are not providing a fool-proof method.

MYRNA: I’m not looking…

KRIS: And it was not our intention.

MYRNA: Not at all. Not at all.

KRIS: BUT it is important to recognize that money represents far more than buying power. It represents what is usually called “the Great American Dream.” Whether one is in Canada or Sweden is irrelevant. That is the idea of the great dream, and in today’s society that dream is fueled by wishes of greenbacks. They could be rosebacks, or purplebacks, regardless of the country. Does that make some sense to you?

MYRNA: Yes.

KRIS: So there is a great deal of energy in dreams in that sense, in hopes, in inspiration, in intent. And that is where that energy lies and it is capitalized upon and this is how the energy is transformed from one individual or a small group of individuals inspiring large numbers of people to literally quote unquote “BUY INTO” their dream. Can you invent a dream others might buy into?

MYRNA: Yeah, I think I’m in the process of doing that.

KRIS: This ties in with your previous tissue issue.

MYRNA: Yes it does.

KRIS: Now, can you grab that tissue and literally fill it from a sense of unworthiness perhaps into an energy of “worthy of your dreams”?

MYRNA: That’s very good.

KRIS: Instead of worrying about issues of unworthiness, flip it around. Re-polarize that current of energy and tap into worthiness, even if you have to add other energies as additional fuel and momentum. Even if you have to get angry, do so, and see the blocks start to crumble.

MYRNA: Kris, a number of years ago and I’ve discussed this with you before, I created a product called “The Leader Within,” and I have always wanted to create sacred spaces, spaces where individuals can thrive, can remember who they are, instead of the dead automatons that most of them are today. I am beginning to feel my energy again around the possibility of this happening again and I brought others in to help me do this. Is that a legitimate dream for me?

KRIS: Who is being worthy or not? We do not believe we need to answer that question.

MYRNA: No, you don’t. I just needed to say it out loud.

KRIS: Indeed.

JOHN: Yes! It’s a worthy dream. I know you needed to hear that.

MYRNA: (Laughing) No, I guess the question is I know it’s worthy, that wasn’t the question. Can I make it happen? Is it a realistic dream? Forget it, never mind. Never mind.

KRIS: If one individual can offer to trade a paper clip and eventually acquire a house for it, then we believe your dream is as worthy as the paper clip dream. Does that make some sense to you?

[Everyone looks dumbfounded and perplexed at this comment.]

MARK: (Explaining Kris’s reference) This individual, true story, just recently started trading up. He started with a paper clip, traded it for something else, took that something else, traded up…and in so many moves, got a house and not a lot of moves. We are not talking about a hundred…we’re talking about maybe twenty. Starting out with a paper clip, ending up with a house.

KRIS: You might also consider putting aside your own personal fears along those lines and fire your being in so many sweet words: sit on a rocket and light it! Fire yourself up with it. Your past is entirely irrelevant. What you create today, now, is what will happen tomorrow.

MYRNA: I understand that.

KRIS: So perhaps we can ask when do we begin seeing your actions?

JOHN: (Chuckling) You’re on the hot seat tonight!

MYRNA: (Laughing) Well, I’m already doing things! I just need to go get a firecracker.

KRIS: NOT a firecracker. A ROCKET!

MARK: And don’t get it from North Korea.

KRIS: (To Bill) Now you had a question?

BILL: Oh yes, thank you Kris. Yes, one of the interests of mine has always been working in the metaphysical field. Do I have any type of abilities that I’ve brought with me that I could follow that sort of dream myself?

KRIS: Where does your major interest reside at this moment?

BILL: Where does it reside? Well, as far as my dream goes, it resides with…I would like to work with healing people. That’s what I’d like to do.

MYRNA: You’d like to heal people?

BILL: Well, work with that, I know you don’t really heal a person yourself, but open yourself up to the energies….this has always been something I’d like to do….something that makes people’s lives a bit more….I think that’s one of the things in John Edward’s book…in his way, he follows his dream, he gives people comfort and that’s a great thing to do, but not everybody does it the same way.

MYRNA: And your asking Kris if you can do that?

BILL: No, what I’m asking is where do my abilities lie that I could develop a goal in some form of healing? Metaphysical healing, because I don’t really know.

KRIS: (Pause) One of your other focuses is involved with, by these standards, a rather primitive medical system in the American Civil War as a nurse assisting the wounded and she has realized that her calling, if you wish. Her vocation as a nurse, is not about patching wounds, but about pure human compassion and comfort. That is where healing truly resides. That is where the energy resides.

You have another focus in India, a male…approximately mid-1500′s, who has abilities not unlike the individual in today’s world referred to as Sai Baba, able to perform small psychic feats, a little bit of trickery for glamour and glitz. This individual has also noted that providing comfort and hope is a greater healing tool than all the medicines and magics involved. Do you understand?

BILL: So far, yes.

KRIS: It is possible for you to take that information and visually try to connect with those other focuses or even suggest to yourself that in your dreams, and whether you remember the dreams or not is irrelevant, but that through your dreams you will be able to acquire more information and even learn to utilize your own hands and your life experience to assist those that may be in need of assistance. We are not saying that you will be raising the dead here. From experience, most of the dead couldn’t care less if they were raised or not, but it is possible for you to bring comfort to others in a small capacity.

There are different methods that can be used for this. What these two individuals [John and Myrna] have been speaking about, referred to as “Emotional Freedom Technique,” may be something that you can learn to assist others in a very nice fashion. We hope that this at least helps you in a direction. We apologize if there is no great fanfare and horn blowing and drum drumming, but there are times when the quiet is where the peace resides. You have another talent that does not necessarily show at the physical surface or even the conscious level. What do you think you do when you sleep?

BILL: Sometimes dream, sometimes nightmares.

KRIS: So therefore there is action, activity, that you engage in whilst your physical form is sleeping away, you do things. In dreams, you sometimes fly, swim, and so many other things similar to what you do with your physical body when you are awake. And there are other times you do things that the body cannot do, such as often finding yourself flying in a dream, correct?

BILL: Correct.

KRIS: Or walking through walls, or seeing through obstacles. There is something other that you do whilst you sleep and many people engage in many different and even related activities but know nothing of it, because they do not train themselves to be that perceptive about their energies. One of the things that you do whilst you sleep is that you assist others who are often in states of coma, or comatose states, their physical forms near inert, but they themselves very active in a dreamlike state. Do you understand?

BILL: Yes, I do.

KRIS: And you assist some of these comatose individuals understand some of their situations and predicaments so that they can make, we will simply use the words “informed choices” about what is available to them. So unconsciously you do and know a great deal more than you could possibly imagine about your physical life, your waking life. Does that resonate with you?

BILL: Yes.

KRIS: It would take a great deal of practice to bring these activities to conscious awareness, to remember them as a dream recall, but perhaps this bit of information can assist in that direction. There is one aspect of your being that is very active, whether you are asleep or not is irrelevant to that aspect of your being. Do you follow somewhat?

BILL: Well, yes, you are referring to that part of me that goes flying, right?

KRIS: In a way, yes.

BILL: Strangely enough, I actually had what you would consider proof that I do leave the body at night and it was the most amazing way….but, you know….it was interesting.

KRIS: Those aspects of out of body experiences that you recall are only a small slice of many things that you do when you think you are softly sleeping on a pillow. So there are times that, if you wonder why you might be tired when you awaken…

BILL: (Chuckling) I have! I’ve awakened exhausted.

KRIS: When that happens, utilize the system we showed you.

BILL: I will.

KRIS: To recharge your circuitry. In a jovial sense, give yourself the finger first thing in the morning!

(Group chuckles)

Now what is the time?

MARK: 9:13.

KRIS: Then we suggest that we return all of your lovely selves to yourselves and Joseph to himself, and we thank you for your kind consideration.

ALL: Thank you, Kris.

(Session ends.)

Balancing Touch – Energy Healing SPECIAL SESSION

July 22, 2006

Channeled by Serge J. Grandbois and Transcribed by Ellen Gilbert (Kwaa’Ji)
Recorded in Toronto, Canada on July 22, 2006

Summary Roll Call: Serge, Mark, Paul H., Jo, Ester, Paul T., Tom, Anya, Lisa, Peter, Marcos, Letty, Stella,

(Session begins at 7:55 PM)

KRIS: Now we trust that you are all very comfortable and we thank you for your consideration. Since this evening can be considered an improvisation, it can nonetheless still be part of the “Secrets of the Ancients” ongoing discussion, but as a slight side dish.

Many of the older and ancient civilizations that have left records and writings behind have to one degree or another also incorporated an understanding of energy into their philosophies and especially in their medical systems. The ancient Ayurvedic system as well as the Chinese medical system and the Egyptian system and many others have incorporated various kinds of approaches to energy medicine in one way or another as part of their overall recognition of existence and the ways in which they sought to understand the relationship between the human individual and the universe.

And many of these systems are still in practice today, some as many as three, four and perhaps even five thousand years later. The western approach, more specifically the allopathic medical approach, is only recently making headway in an attempt to understand these ancient systems of energy. Some of the more prominent ones are known to you as acupuncture and the use of the meridian systems and some of you are somewhat familiar with the Eastern view of the chakras and the energy centers in the body. Though these systems are not physical as such, they definitely can be shown to influence the physical system and, by extension, human life as well.

Our perspective on this may not necessarily fit into the textbook descriptions of some of these ancient systems and in no way do we seek to make comparisons that would invalidate such ancient methods and approaches, but what we want to share is simply that this is another perspective and it can also be very practical in many situations, especially in an effort to unblock energy flow within the body and to naturally enhance and expand awareness.

Now we simply wish to remind everyone, that if you have not muted yourselves, to do so now by pressing six. Other than that, let us continue in this small presentation. Though the average individual would not necessarily consider himself or herself to be something different and separate from his or her body, the physical body, we believe most of you have sufficient information and knowledge to understand that you are something quite different from your physical body. You exist and have your Being, whether you have a physical form or image or not.

And whilst you animate and express yourselves through that physical body or image, you temporarily fall under some of its imperatives and are subject to experiencing the perspectives from that physical body’s point of view to one degree; at least as far as the ego construction is concerned. But once you understand the premise that as an energy being, you create, maintain and sustain the physical body, but you are not only that physical body, but something much more still. You may even consider that you are consciousness, awareness, Essence, energy, and so on and so forth.

And we would like to delve a little deeper into some of those concepts, especially as it relates to you as energy: how you convey and transform that energy through various auspices and literally motivate and animate your physical form through a complex array or arrangement of communications. And interestingly, those communications are often something most people actually blame for many of their situations or even their ills.

You refer to them as emotions, or even emotions slash feelings. If you examine those emotions/feelings, whether you consider them in common vernacular as negative or positive, you will notice that these emotions and feelings usually precipitate cascading effects or results within your bodily construction. And again, some of which you may even feel are the causes of some of your challenges and issues when you affix a label or even an accusation of negative emotions to those inner situations.

To return briefly to the ancient mapping system of meridians and pulse points within the human energy body, this entire system which can easily be considered a delicately balanced electrical circuit or system or network within but not necessarily found in the physical body, you may find that the energy released through the cascading effects of emotional and feeling-tones course through various parts of the body to pursue their own course, their own pathways.

Now we have pointed out recently and other times, that many of your challenges, your ills, or diseases or other issues, result from an oft lack of understanding about the flow of energy and do inadvertently lock these energetic processes into dead-ends and perpetual loops where the energy is impeded, often by fear or other situations and without being able to find an escape route, in a manner of speaking. That blocked energy seeks to capture your attention as a last measure of hope or resource, often through what you call symptoms, illnesses and other communications.

We began, not too long ago, to speak about Nodis, energetic nodules and various pathways in energy bodies that we have expanded upon only a few weeks back and will continue to expand upon at another time. What we wish to present today are a series of small exercises that may also give you another tactical advantage to enable the re-flow of energy in a manner that is soothing and empowering and affects four basic groupings that we started describing in a private discussion a very short time ago. And these groupings are for convenience’s sake and can also be very practically applied.

If you are not familiar with the energy centers or chakras, we suggest you familiarize yourselves with them at another time. For the moment we have, for convenience’s sake, catalogued the energy centers in the lower part of the body as the Earth center. Symbols for these centers in many native cultures are represented by a powerful Earth animal, such as a bear. A lion could also be utilized, or even something as simple as mountains. Above that towards the heart is what we referred to as the water centers, waves and free-flowing water, is an excellent representation.

Above that, towards the throat area is air, the air centers and an excellent symbol for this can be birds such as eagles or hawks, though you could easily also utilize clouds and wind. And above that, in the center of the head, is fire. We have symbolized it with the phoenix bird. Out of its own fires and ashes it is constantly being reborn.

Your own energy system courses through these four regions of energies and in certain terms, when there are impediments or imbalances in the flow of these four areas, you may eventually experience impediments and what you then commonly refer to as symptoms, illnesses, ailments, and so on as a communication from Self that your systems have blockages or impediments and your attention is required to bring back a balance to the system.

What we wish to share with you is at least one simple approach that can assist at least in helping you get a better grasp of the flow of your own energies and how you may begin the process of correcting any imbalances and impediments in your energy. And we are speaking of energies that exist first and foremost at the non-physical level that then transfer themselves into the imagery that you call your human body; that which you often think is you.

And to simply, quickly re-iterate this point that it is easy to blame or accuse or judge that emotions are the causes, they are actually the signal that alerts you to an underlying impediment in the flow of your energies. When that switch goes off, the light goes on to alert you, it is in your own best interests to then pay attention and if you need, you can utilize the simple method we will share with you in a few moments after the break to at least establish a better balance overall so that you begin to address the issues properly. This is not meant as a panacea or cure-all but as a means to begin your own healing processes.

What is the time?

MARK: 8:23.

KRIS: Then indeed we suggest a small break and we will return.

(Break begins at 8:23 PM.)

Several people mention that this subject matter is quite new to them. Anya offers that during her private session with Kris in June, he mentioned the energy centers and the relationship of the elements, earth, water, air and fire, to the chakra system. In July she had another session and subsequently has been using the imagery of the elements in her meditation and has been noticing when she feels out of balance. For example, when she visualizes an overflow of water imagery, she knows she needs to balance that with the other elements.

Ester said that she coincidentally recently created a Power Point program using the elements and was surprised to find herself being strongly affected by the imagery and now doubly surprised to hear Kris utilizing them in his presentation tonight.

Anya has noticed that this different approach, i.e., seeing the body as an electrical circuit and grounding the energy by visualizing the bear, has proven to be very effective for her in taking the edge off certain highly emotional situations.

Mark offers that he finds in intriguing how we relate to how our bodies feel in our day-to-day lives and we explain our emotions in regards to how we feel in the physical; whereas, according to Kris, it all starts in the non-physical, in the energy field, and gets translated down into the physical body.

(Break ends at 8:34 PM)

KRIS: Now we are glad that you have all had a very lively discussion. Firstly, we purposely did not mention any specific energy center because this approach does not necessarily depend upon any specific energy center, but more so a grouping of energy centers in the four different sectors mentioned.

The lower part of the energy centers, again to re-iterate, is what we call the earth center, that which grounds you, easily represented or symbolized by powerful earth animals such as bears or even lions, or even mountains for a natural imagery. Above that is the heart area, that section represented by the water element. If you need an animal-like, creature-like symbol, then fish or even water mammals, cetaceans, will do very nicely, or waves will also do.

Above that in the throat area, the air center and this can be represented by wind, clouds, or powerful air creatures such as eagles and hawks. And above that, those other higher centers that you associate with the head, we represent as being with fire, symbolized with the phoenix and his lovely flame plumage. Fire being the symbol of transformation of an element from one state to another, force from one state to another, and so on, establishing a very simple approach.

And the simplicity makes it even more practical, and with this approach you can definitely establish rather rapid harmony when you recognize an imbalance, a dead-end, a loop, a hamster wheel of energetic processes up to and including self-destructive, negative patterns in your thoughts.

And as we mentioned, the emotions themselves are not necessarily the cause of the disturbance in the force, if you wish, in your energy system, but rather an indication to draw your attention to the impediment in the flow of energies. And eventually this system too may be developed in more detail in the near future. But for the present moment you can take your lovely index finger, not the one you give “the finger” with, but the one before, and you can sensitize all of your fingertips and even your hands to energy to the point where they indeed become very sensitive, even to the flow of energy of the air around you.

But for the moment, taking your index finger in the right hand, you can utilize it to gently touch various areas in the four different sectors of the body. Firstly to establish a flow of energy and in this you would follow this procedure: taking your right index finger, you would gently touch just above or on your pubic bone, or pelvic bone if you prefer and then, you would, using the same fingertip, touch in the area at the very bottom of the sternum. This is the Water center. You can move up to the air center by touching the area right below the throat where the breastplate begins, right below the two small protrusions of the breastbone or collarbone if you wish. There is a sensitive area right in this spot.

Next you would touch the right cheekbone below the eye, from there you would touch just above and between the two eyes where the nose bone meets the two eyebrows. There is a slight sensitive spot there it has nothing to do with what you call your third eye. Get your fingers out of your eye! (Chuckling) And hopefully not in your nose! And from there approximately the very top center of your head, another sensitive area….and from there on the right side, the back of the head where the neck tendon goes into the base of the skull, you have a small bony protrusion. Gently touch that area and then the bony protrusion behind your right ear. And rest your lovely right hand and finger.

Even right now, you might even be feeling a mild passive state, somewhat relaxed, but definitely aware of each of those parts of the body you have touched and specifically the fingertip. (Long pause)

Now, whenever you are perceiving that the flow of your energies are imbalanced, or you need to take a step back to examine the situation, you need to establish harmony within yourself, you can definitely use this simple process to establish equilibrium and even a slight detached, removed-from-the-immediate-situation state which can give you the opportunity to change your perspective, give you the opportunity to establish a Triple ‘A’. Carefully acknowledge, address and accept your situation and change your concentration, thus altering your perspective. Perhaps this is a good opportunity to open a Q and A.

(Mark un-mutes everyone.)

Perhaps this is a good opportunity if anyone of you has questions on this simple procedure, we would be most happy to answer and clarify. Please feel free to ask questions.

ANYA: I have a question if that’s okay. Last time when Kris talked about watching and observing cycles of meditation and it’s actually related to what you did right now. He said it would be beneficial to watch ups and downs, and then later on he would introduce some tools of how to use those ups and downs of energy, how to regulate them, at least that was my understanding of what I heard, so what he offered us today, that meditation, but also the tapping exercise, is it something related to that?

Is it something that we can use during those downs, and if so, what would you do when you are very “up,” you know, when there is a peak of energy and everything is just wonderful and is there a way…What do you do with that energy? Sometimes there is just so much energy flowing to me, should I project it into that? I would like some comments on that.

KRIS: Far be it from us to suggest that when you are on a roll, that you get off the treadmill! On the contrary, we would greatly encourage you to keep doing what you are doing. Does that answer your question?

ANYA: (Giggling) No, I guess what I was asking, like that energy that is so…I got that phenomenal morning when everything is just so….I felt that everything is beautiful and wonderful and I’m wondering…and I was appreciating all of that, but I’m also thinking, can I use that moment, that momentum, to project a creation into some of the goals that I have?

KRIS: By all means! As the expression is often used: You go, Girl!

ANYA: (Laughing) Okay, that’s how I often feel, but sometimes it’s just nice not to do anything and not project anything, because the energy sometimes is just phenomenal.

MARK: Kris, how about using anchors to lock that moment?

ANYA: Okay, I like that.

KRIS: You can easily use this process to enhance your concentration, but for all intents and purposes there is no reason to prevent you from doing what you are already so nicely doing. Our specific purpose perhaps for asking if there are questions, is on the process itself as well, perhaps looking for feedback. And definitely the question is valid. All that needs to be done is utilize your instincts in that area, your natural impulses to create. Use the energy. Do you follow?

ANYA: Yes, thank you.

KRIS: Are there other observations, questions?

TOM: Yes, I have a question. I noticed that when I have aches and pains that when I sleep really well, I wake up feeling much better most of the time and I was wondering if this process that you speak of, does that eventually lead to a physical change in hormones in the body…is it actually the hormones….that flush of hormones through the body that kind of gets rid of our aches and pains and heals us?

KRIS: When there are references to hormones, or any other such physical phenomenon, the chemistry, brain chemicals, these are all representations of various energy influxes, flowing unimpeded through the body. They are physical, material counterparts of energy through electricity, literal electricity made concrete for you. Your whole physical form is literally a mass of electricity for lack of a better word. Electrical impulses allow the heart to beat. Electrical impulses flow through the brain. This has been verified by EEG’s and we believe EKG’s, correct?

TOM: Correct.

KRIS: Your whole physical system is propelled by electrical energy. You are living batteries, so to speak. You have current flowing through you. When the wiring, which is the energy system network, has some loose wires or disconnections, then there are miscommunications. Thus the simple practice we have shared with you is meant to help re-establish an overall flow of energy in a manner that can help you function at enhanced levels to enable a better or more clear; Acknowledging, Addressing and Accepting. And again the images and the emotions are not the cause but they are the signal that you may have indeed buried, locked, or cut wiring, so to speak, concerning your situation. Does that make sense to you?

TOM: Yes.

KRIS: Does that answer your question?

TOM: Yes, it does.

PAUL: Kris, this is Castaic, we kind of blinked into a parallel universe about ten minutes ago and actually asked a question, but there was no response and I’ve been trying to dial back for the last few minutes. With that preamble….

FRIEDA: With the instruction you gave us with the right fingertip and the centers to touch, how does one do this in public, or is there some other way of doing this when…?

KRIS: Now, we are not suggesting that you do this on the dance floor or if you are giving an address, but if you are in a public situation, you could always pretend that you have a series of itches.

(Laughter)

Now there is another component to this that can be incorporated if it is truly impractical to do any of this in public. Then IMAGINE, image that you are doing this. See your fingertip traveling up to the back of the head, one spot at a time, and you may find this also has sufficient impact to produce effects. Does that make sense to you?

FRIEDA: Yes, thank you, that’s helpful.

KRIS: Indeed, any other questions or observations?

MARK: How often can this be utilized?

KRIS: We would not recommend that you do this on a minute-by-minute basis, but if there is a need, perhaps several times a day, more or less as you see fit. And it is possible that after only once, you may not need to do so for some time.

JO: This is Rosalie, this is just an observation. Since I started my dance classes, I found that I felt more balanced and it has a lot to do, I believe, that dance comes from the center of the body and there is a lot of lower chakra grounding that goes along with dance, so I feel better being in my body and not so focused on some of my mental processes for starters. So that has been a sort of mountain meditation, so to speak.

KRIS: And you most likely have also observed that there is an apparent better flow, a freer flow of energy within your system, thus resulting in the sensation of being more balanced and grounded.

JO: Yes, absolutely. Thank you.

KRIS: Perhaps we can ask how any of you actually felt after you did the contacts with the body and the fingertip.

TOM: Balanced. Energetic.

PAUL H.: I had a similar, sort of a grounding waking, similar to the grounding, chanting that you’ve done with similar effect. So it was a centering. I became more alert.

KRIS: Indeed. Anyone else?

MARK: I found remembrances, I guess….or it seemed awfully familiar to me. I don’t know if this is something you and I have done in the past that I’ve forgotten, but I found it stirring memories.

KRIS: Now, we may add to this that if you are faced with a particular situation or condition, perhaps even a physical ailment or illness or problem, that as you go through the various points of contact; say you begin as we began, with the pubic or pelvic bone, the bottom of the sternum, the bottom of the throat. Then move the fingertip to the area that is giving you a physical challenge, gently touch the area several times, then bring the finger back and continue the process up the head, into the back of the head and finish as suggested and be prepared to observe what happens with your area of difficulty. Now we are not saying that the dead will rise, but you might find and alleviation of whatever physical symptoms you have been communicating to yourself. Does this make sense to you?

(Yes)

ANYA: So this will not be a good exercise to do before going to bed, right?

KRIS: Indeed, at any time you so desire. Apart from Philip, does anyone else have any physical situation they might need addressing in this fashion?

TOM: My hip’s been bothering me.

KRIS: Now do understand that this entire process can be considered an incredible asset to the Triple ‘A’ method. It is a physical, visceral plug-in to the Triple ‘A’ method. Now, does anyone else have any physical situation?

JO: This is Rosalie, I’ll volunteer mine. I have had chronic sinus trouble, unrelated directly to this area… I wondered if you had any comments for me.

KRIS: We did not hear clearly.

MARK: Sinus.

KRIS: It sounded as if you said you had planet problems!

(Laughter)

We were wondering what planet could be causing your problem! However, all kidding aside, regardless of the physical challenges you have, begin once again, utilizing the right index fingertip, and begin the process as we described: bring the fingertip to the pelvic or pubic bone, then to the bottom of the sternum, to the bottom of the throat, then to any area of your body that is presently a challenge to you, gently touch it several times and we trust that you are doing this now.

JO: Yes.

KRIS: And then bring the fingertip to the right cheekbone below the eye, then between the eyebrows and above the nose area, then the top of the head, then the lower back – the bony protrusion where the back neck muscle connects at the base of the skull, then the bony protrusion behind the right ear and then relax your hand and lovely fingertip.

JO: I can really feel the difference. That felt great.

KRIS: What are you experiencing?

JO: A lessening of symptoms, of pain in my head, in my sinuses.

KRIS: When you take a deep breath, is it easier for you?

JO: (Pauses to take a breath) Yes, I feel that the energy is different.

KRIS: Indeed.

JO: It’s…my head feels lighter. It doesn’t feel as heavy and as impacted.

KRIS: Indeed and what is your experience, Desire?

TOM: I feel that I’m breathing much better too, here…and my hip is feeling much better.

KRIS: Indeed, and we trust Philip has followed the procedure?

MARK: Yes, my leg has stopped hurting completely.

KRIS: Now, indeed all three of you, Rosalie, we do not suggest you smash beer cans on your forehead.

(Laughter)

Desire, we suggest that you do not immediately start running a marathon, and Philip we do not suggest you begin leap-frogging and jumping up buildings. But all in all, take it easy and whenever there is a need to re-establish that connection, do so freely. It only takes a few moments of your time, but the results can indeed be most interesting as you have pointed out. It matters not the physical situation that you are presenting yourself with. Energy is energy. It matters not if it is a sniffle, or even if it is cancer. Energy is energy and it can be made to flow again. Do you understand that point?

(Yes)

In other words, (Forcefully) do not let yourselves be intimidated by big medical labels! Even a label is nothing but energy. Does that make sense?

(Yes)

KRIS: Now, what is the time?

MARK: (Humorously) Nine one one!

KRIS: Indeed! Are there any other comments or observations?

PAUL T.: Yeah, Kris, this is Antolian.

KRIS: Indeed, it is lovely to see our beardless and bald friend again!

(Laughter)

PAUL T.: Indeed my friendly curmudgeon! In the midst of this exercise, at the end of the first time that we tried it, I realize that this very well could be a belief system on my part, but I felt that there was an energy circuit that was completed between the various energy centers and my right index finger and at its conclusion I felt somewhat imbalanced in that I felt that there was more energy resident in my left finger and lack of flow of energy at least, in my cranium on my left side. Can you address why perhaps you suggested using just the right hand?

KRIS: The major portion of the population is right-handed. If you are tempted to utilize the left hand, by all means, please do so. There is no pre-requisite that if you are left-handed, that you cannot participate. It is merely for the sake of practicality.

PAUL T.: Okay and my perception of the imbalance…is this my perception that I feel I need some sort of equalization of this or…is that actually a consideration?

KRIS: Not specifically, it is indeed merely your own specific perception. If you feel the need, you may, once you are on the part of the head, after you have touched the top of the head, touched both parts, both bony protrusions on the back of the head, then to the right bone behind the ear, then touch the left bone behind the left ear. And you may indeed feel that this equalizes you quite nicely!

PAUL T.: (Chuckling) I’ve been out of balance most of my life, so it will be a change! Thank you!

KRIS: Remember that your physical form and you, which are two different things, are BOTH energy, or if you wish, electrical in nature in that sense of the word. You are always flowing. When you create an impediment, a stoppage to the flow, you create challenges. They can be altered, changed, transformed, or in other vernacular: a certain type of correction can be affected.

First and foremost, you are energy. That is why, when you encounter powerful emotional situations, your entire system, especially when you deal with emotional energies of a nature you do not wish, you often become very traumatized, imbalanced, and so on and so forth. Do allow yourself to utilize such a simple method to bring about magnificent, even if small, but magnificent, changes in your situation. Are there other questions, comments?

JO: Yes, one from Rosalie. I read the transcript from last week’s session about meditation being part of our lives and to notice our states throughout the day that we have creating flow, and this seems to tie directly into that because I’ve noticed that I sense a kind of flow that I think of as a meditative state and this really brings the body right into that.

And the way I think of it is that sometimes we get caught up in these eddy pools of emotion or obsession or what have you, but getting back to that flow and bringing the body into it is a very practical and consonant kind of construction that really goes along nicely with what you were talking about last week for me.

KRIS: Indeed. Since your lives are themselves profound meditations, and any actions you take within that life themselves are offshoot meditations, then this simple, practical exercise in balancing simply enhances the meditation upon the body which is often sadly neglected, thrown away and replaced by mental processes whilst the body is itself so integral to being who you are.

This simple balancing process brings the flow of energies back in line and thus provides a different kind of meditation. Do not underestimate the body’s abilities to assist you in widening and enhancing your awareness. It is meant to do this. It is NOT an impediment, it is not an albatross to your high-falutin’ ideas about spirituality. IT, your physical form, is spirituality condensed for you. Do you follow? Do you understand?

(Yes)

Treat it with great care and love and it WILL provide the necessary balance to assist you in widening your awareness that much more. Now what is the time?

MARK: 9:20

KRIS: Then we suggest that we allow you all to return you to your lovely fingers and the bodies that are attached to them and the lovely personalities that animate and motivate those lovely bodies and their most useful fingers. And we wish you a most pleasant evening and thank you again for your consideration. And we return Joseph to you.

Secrets of the Ancients -Part 4 – Meditation

July 16, 2006

Channeled by Serge J. Grandbois and Transcribed by Ellen Gilbert (Kwaa’Ji)
Recorded in Toronto, Canada on July 16, 2006

Summary Roll Call: Serge, Mark, John, Ellen, Cathy, Brian, Jennifer, Lisa, Anya, Tom, Ella, Peter, Karin and T.G.

(7:48 PM)

KRIS: Now we trust that you are all very comfortable, and slightly cooler (It was a very hot day in the Northeastern U.S., Toronto, and also in Germany according to Peter and Karin). And we thank you for your consideration. In line with the previous and ongoing subject matter of the “Secrets of the Ancients,” we would like to address this evening the subject matter of meditation and we are well aware of many people’s immediate imagery concerning the word “meditation,” or twisting yourselves into pretzels, contemplating the lint in your navel, closing your eyes just so, breathing just so, listening to various types of diatribes about the oneness and the universe and the love and the happiness.

And we would definitely like to impress upon you [that] all that such imagery need not be part of the processes of meditation in any way, shape or form. Nor do you have to join mysterious Eastern cults or follow the words of strangely dressed and eccentric gurus. But it is to your advantage, in fact we would even suggest that it behooves every single intelligent individual to understand the principles and the practices of meditation for a great variety of benefits. And yes, some of the standard benefits advertised as the results of meditation can and do apply: a greater sense of well-being, a sense of peacefulness, reduction in stresses and so on and so forth, but there are other approaches to meditation than the standard Eastern fare.

And these can all be very beneficial. And very simply put, meditation is another term for “concentration.” It is another approach. Another approach are the words “paying attention”, NOTICING. These are all in the same category and can be used in a variety of ways to bring about many benefits and enrichments. Meditation does not need to be a lengthy process learned at the hands or the feet of some so-called elevated guru or master. In fact we dare to venture that you already are very nice and good meditators. And with slight enhancements, encouragements and proddings, you may indeed increase your effectiveness and the abilities that you already possess.

The art of meditation as such is indeed innate to all human beings. It is the principle component of the human personality structure, which in itself is an ever-flowing action, spread out through, or spread throughout, many different lifetimes as you understand the terms of physical focuses in the now. And still, the human personality is greater than the sum of all of its parts, but it is not something that is limited by any one particular focal expression, nor any one particular lifetime.

And the ability to pay attention, to notice, to concentrate, to meditate, is woven right into and throughout this wonderful force of nature, the human personality structure and all of the outwardly physical expressions and actions that are engaged….

[NOTE: There was a pause here that was heard as a silent drop-out by all of the participants on the phone lines except in Toronto, where they were hearing chimes and automated messages telling how much time was left to the conference call and other "instructional" missives. Kris' delivery all through this evening's session was at times interrupted in this way, causing him to sometimes lose the flow of his sentence formation as he waited for the voice to shut up.]

The human personality structure has infinite points of concentration and this ability can be cultured, cultivated, nurtured into a powerful resource that can only enhance the individual that you are, period. And when we say the individual that you are, we may mean something far grander than what you understand by those words. But be it as it is, the cultivation of meditation techniques and not necessarily as many Eastern schools teach it, though the principle is still effective, the cultivation of meditation can enable you to harvest many benefits over and above what you understand from the term, without having to twist yourselves into pretzels or to see how much lint has collected in your navels.

All of the world’s religions, ancient cultures and so on, have to varying degrees instilled practices and periods of contemplation, which also qualifies as a meditation, as does the act of prayer, regardless of the religious connotations or the religion itself. The religions, the cultures and so on, have simply capitalized on an innate, entirely natural process of the human personality and embraced it into their views, and thus made it seem as if this is part of the religious process while in actuality it is part of the human experience first and foremost and then utilized by religious bodies and teachings.

And meditation on its own is something that you do often so naturally, you do not even notice it, for you do not necessarily need to set aside a specific block of time on a daily or weekly or bi-weekly basis and enter into a mind state as described in many Eastern philosophies, but each and every one of you observe varying degrees of meditative practices on a daily basis. Altered states are also another approach to meditative states. You often engage in daydreaming activities, as you often engage in doodling and so on and so forth. Some of you also engage in fantasies of the mind, visualizations, self-hypnotic, auto-hypnotic, auto-suggestive states also all fall into that wide category.

And paying attention in any of those states can bring you many benefits. You utilize the same processes to create and generate what… (another voice-over interruption) … we will simply utilize the words “positive and negative” outcomes to your reality creation processes, and you utilize the very same principles for both outcomes. And others before ourselves, and ourselves included, have for quite some time strongly suggested that you learn to pay attention, to notice what you entertain in your mind at least from time to time, the thoughts and the emotions and the inner situations that you engage, some that you as quickly forget, others you concentrate upon more than some, but all of these processes, regardless of the labeling, assist you in refining those abilities that you utilize when you generate your realities, when you manufacture them, when you engage belief systems.

And each and every one of these descriptive states, regardless of which approach you utilize, can bear many fruits, but even more so if and when you pay attention to what it is you concentrate upon or meditate upon. The classic idea of meditation as being the elimination of thoughts, of creating a vacuum, entering into a state of non-being, has been over time distorted, misinterpreted and peddled as cure-alls and so on and so forth. And though there may indeed be some kernels of truth in these ideas, the main objective of meditation per se, is to quiet all of the various inner avenues of communication for the purpose of concentrating upon a specific avenue of concentration over all others, thus giving this one specific avenue of communication more of your attention, enabling more energy and momentum towards the fulfillment of that seed of creation.

And if for no other purpose than simply instilling a sense of well-being, perhaps an enhancement of your health, then that alone is well worth the endeavor, though we can assure you the endeavor is NEVER back-breaking, but rather back healing. And there are hundreds if not thousands of various meditative practices in all areas, in many books, in many places, and these are all, to one degree or another, quite fine by themselves, but we also encourage you to notice, pay attention, to those natural meditative states that occur in cyclical fashion within your own personality.

Just as in the dream states, you enter various cycles of brain wave patterns and sleep patterns and dream patterns, and come out of them and return to them during the course of one night, so do the conscious processes also engage in cyclical fashion and you need only discover your own. Pay attention to when you are more prone to periods of introspection, to contemplation and when these recede for other actions to take over.

And by knowing when your own consciousness enters into these introspective, contemplative cycles, you may then capitalize on the process and utilize it to your advantage and benefit. Now we are not saying that these natural cycles of contemplation or meditation will bring you fat bank accounts. They will bring you instead enhanced perceptive mechanisms and with some small degree of practice even, you can as we suggested, capitalize on those opportunities to even more clearly engage the processes and concentrate or focus upon the inner actions of your consciousness.

Because those cycles are indications of waves of inner activities that we have previously called the inner field of events or the field of inner events, either way you look at it, those various periods of the day are indications that there are deeper layers of activity that can draw your attention even further and perhaps like Alice following the white rabbit, you too may be drawn into the rabbit hole, into some of the processes that engage deeper layers of consciousness.

So those areas of your awareness usually unnoticed by you will bring about a greater expansion of awareness, a greater recognition of inner processes of innate actions that can show you the wider spectrum of your own Being and during such processes you might very well recognize your own nature.

Now we often speak of ‘nature’. Last discussion was on this subject, as were many others in the past and though we may refer to the outwardly expressed natural phenomenon of the world as you know it, nature, forests, trees and animals, hills and valleys, rivers and lakes, etc, we also address your own inner nature, reflected outwardly into the world as the natural phenomenon of the world. And we would not stress that as much were it of no importance, recognizing and interacting with nature and YOUR nature is a wonderful method by which you can indeed enrich your existence. Now what is the time?

MARK: 8:17

KRIS: Then we suggest that you ponder the nature of your lovely selves and we will return.

(Break begins at 8:17 PM.)

[MARK’S NOTES: During the break Anya asked Ellen to start a thread on www.newworldview.com where people could posts observations regarding their meditation ‘cycles’.

The topic then strayed over to what is NOT considered a meditation and whether it is safe to drive a car while meditating.]

(8:25 PM Kris returns.)

KRIS: Now, before you all get confused, it can even be said that your confusion itself is a meditation!

(Group chuckles.)

All in all, the bottom line is, you are always, you have always, and you will always be in various states of meditation, without fault, forever. Now when we say forever, we mean it! You cannot be without a meditative state. It is literally impossible to be out of such a state. You are always pre-occupied in various zones, if you wish. You have the [term], “in your zone,” and that is another very nice example. You always move from one meditative state to another, various brain wave patterns are merely reflections of moving from one meditative zone into another.

The point is that you learn to recognize and capitalize upon those states to your benefit and advantage and you utilize the processes whether, in common vernacular, your outcomes are labeled as positive or negative. It is irrelevant. You utilize the state. You utilize the magic wand of meditation to generate a creation. Thus, the idea is to recognize what you are doing and when you are doing it….to also recognize even WHOM you are doing, when you are doing it…

(Riotous laughter)

… And that too is meditative! And just as good, if not better! As such, you are always engaged in lovely meditative states. Pay attention when you are engaged in one activity, and then you end that activity to begin another. And when you end THAT activity to begin another, and so on and so forth, and recognize the shifting of your energies, the re-organization of your emotional states, the different manners of inner communications and thought processes and patterns, mental habits and so on.

And you will indeed get a clearer picture of your own nature, how you operate, etc. No one can pick it out for you, or notice it for you. They will only notice their own reflections of their own nature through you. You, however, can successfully notice your own nature and in the processes of such discoveries, you will most certainly discover many great mind treasures and this is the point: that you discover more about YOUR SELF, two separate words, for SELF is indeed a great and unlimited process, and it is a direction.

It is for you then to make those simple observations. Now indeed, various cultures and religions have established protocol for what they determine to be meditation and meditative practices, and you can engage those specifics if you are so inclined. That is for you to make the call. We are simply stating that such rigid and regimented processes of meditation, though most certainly useful and beneficial on their own, are not everyone’s cup of tea, nor is everyone able to afford the time involved in some of those practices as so described, but there are other approaches that are suited to the human personality for the simple fact that meditative practices are innately, entirely natural to the human personality. As such, you can benefit immensely.

As pointed out, however, when you are driving also pay attention to the road. Other than that, unless of course you are a brain surgeon, the world of meditation and your own innate nature is your oyster. Feast upon it. For everything that you do is a meditative practice outwardly expressed from inner states.

(To Mark) If you are so kind, perhaps you can open the line and questions on that subject matter can be dealt with.

ELLA: What we were discussing before with respect to meditative states, what I want to say is that in my perception and of course Kris can comment on this, I’m not sure if everyone can do this or if it’s a unique ability, but when I go into a meditative state of that nature, as being described today, I do not necessarily shut myself off from reality, but in a way, I (inaudible) myself, especially while driving, and I’ve already observed that many times, because I’ve been doing that for years, it’s not a new development for me.

And what happens is that some sort of, I don’t know how to explain it, but what happens is part of me is analyzing myself, and working on my issues and I get a lot of insight from this activity and part of me is even more focused on the road, where I’m maybe not doing that, so I understand that when somebody says that one is driving and doing something like that, I guess the auto-response would be to say it’s not safe. I do not feel this way and I just would like to know if Kris could comment if there is indeed some sort of a split, you could split yourself a bit and function in both ways?

KRIS: Our suggestion is merely to alert you to the possibility that when you concentrate upon your own meditative state, it is easier at those times to enter into altered states and for some people there is a need to “zone out”, in other words, to enter into deeper states. There are many other individuals who can very successfully and this is also part of the process, to successfully enhance your recognition of the environment you are in, even to becoming more sensitive to that environment than under normal conditions. In other words, your ability to concentrate and focus upon it becomes doubly enhanced. Does that make sense?

ELLA: I did not hear the last word, I’m sorry. My ability to concentrate and focus upon it becomes what?

KRIS: Doubly, twice as sharp. Sensory input can indeed increase and that is also a natural process. The idea that one must shut down the senses and thus shut out the world can become an impediment, especially when you are deeply immersed in that world. So the idea would then be to utilize the environment, the ambient atmosphere, everything within it as a further assistance to become aware of your own meditative state. For it too, is an extension of that meditation. Does that make sense?

ELLA: Yes, to me that makes sense.

KRIS: Does someone else have a lovely question?

BRIAN: Yes, Kris, I would actually. When I’m writing my classical piece that actually entails a lot of concentration. As far as a meditative state to draw upon layers of creativity. That would definitely be a meditation, correct?

KRIS: Indeed, as is yours and everyone else’s entire life. Your entire life as a focal personality, an Expression of Essence IS also a meditation. There are varying degrees within that state that can lead to all sorts of other states.

BRIAN: Kris, also as we daydream and create other worlds with our thoughts, that would also be a meditation, correct? As we create?

KRIS: That is correct and you are thereby also the result of your Essence’s meditation.

BRIAN: Awesome!

KRIS: If you meditate upon that meditation, you are bound to meditate lovely things.

ELLEN: Kris, when I’m doing my job as a crossing guard and I’m stepping out into the street and trying to stop traffic that’s coming at me at forty miles an hour and one of those drivers is meditating on the telephone and (chuckling) isn’t really paying attention…

(Laughter among the group)

…To me standing out in the street, am I in meditation at that moment?

KRIS: Perhaps you are able to answer your own question.

(We all laugh riotously)

ELLEN: I have to be fully focused in the moment, so perhaps that is a meditation.

KRIS: Your moment itself is a meditation. Our mission is to assist you in recognizing that meditation is not specifically a state where you are zoned out of reality, but truly zoned INTO reality. Does that help?

ELLEN: Yes.

BRIAN: Yes, definitely.

TOM: Kris does this tie into the nodi, when we focus on a specific thing to the exclusion of other things? We’re really focusing on a node, is that correct?

KRIS: If you do draw your attention to that process, then indeed that is also a meditation nested within meditations.

BRIAN: So Kris, then you create your own reality and you get what you concentrate upon, very ancient words, [that] would actually be a meditation, as is choosing. “I choose to have a great day.”

KRIS: That is correct.

ANYA: I think our entire lives influence that.

I have a question. I thought that Kris mentioned that there is some practice that he thought would be of interest to us. A meditative practice that he wanted to introduce that would give us a little bit more information. Is there something we can do tonight or did I misunderstand?

(Anya’s words are a bit lost in static and she is speaking rapidly, so it’s hard to understand)

KRIS: (To Mark) Can you interpret?

MARK: She’s asking about you (Kris) wanting to bring forth a meditation and she was asking if this was a good night for that.

KRIS: We did not mention specifically that we would introduce a meditation. Rather we would introduce a variation on the UNDERSTANDING OF MEDITATIONS, that the comprehension of your entire life being a series of meditations is in itself quite appropriate. As Essence, you create all of the expressions and they in their own ways are your meditations. Does that make sense?

TOM: Yes.

BRIAN: Kris, while we’re focused as Essence, as we are also Essence, are we also creating even in physical reality, other focuses of Essence?

KRIS: Not as a focus personality.

BRIAN: (Kris’ words came out slightly static-y and Brian repeats) As a FOCUS personality do we create other focuses of our Essence?

KRIS: Not as a focus personality.

BRIAN: NOT as a focus… okay. Only after disengaging?

KRIS: You are not Essence only after you disengage. You are always Essence, but you are engaged in a process called “Expression of Essence” or focus personality, that entertains the ego construction for very specific purposes. You are also Essence, but you are engaged in a different project. For example, in many small towns and communities, one individual may wear many official hats. The mayor may also function in the capacity of police chief, may also function in the capacity of librarian, but as a librarian he cannot take action as the mayor. Do you follow?

BRIAN: Yes, absolutely. Thank you, Kris.

KRIS: Indeed.

JENNIFER: What about when you have children, how is that different than when you’re a single person, you are functioning as an individual…?

KRIS: You may need to speak louder.

JENNIFER: When you have children, how is that different than when you function as an individual?

KRIS: (To Mark) You can understand?

MARK: She asked how is it different to be a parent than being just an individual.

ELLEN: In terms of Brian’s question earlier about whether focus personalities create other focuses as Essence, Jen was asking how does that correlate with being a parent.

KRIS: As a human individual you provide the opportunity for other Essences to be expressed as focal personalities. You provide the vehicle that is with your engagements with those individualities, though you retain your own unique and blessed individuality. Those born from you eventually also individuate from you, establish their own autonomous selves and become their own unique individuals.

ELLEN: And they may have different Essences than the parents.

KRIS: Do understand that Essence does not necessarily abide by the rules of the ordinary family tree.

MARK: Kris, I believe there’s an understanding out there and it may not necessarily be true, I’m not sure whose material people are getting it from, but there’s an understanding or a belief that focus personalities can later on become Essence.

BRIAN: Right, correct.

ELLEN: Yeah, that’s understood. We were just trying to make a clarification.

BRIAN: So upon disengaging, Kris, then are we able, me as Brian after disengagement, can create other focuses of Essences through my Essence?

KRIS: But that is not focus personality. There is a fine distinction and it is too easy to get lost in the notions and the nuances that are often part of the human vocabulary, logical, rational understandings. You are always, will always be and have always been Essence. You are at this point in time, so to speak, expressing yourself as a unique focal personality, a specific point of meditation of your Essence and within that point of concentration, that point of attention. You literally give yourselves many wonderful gifts.

ELLEN: Great answer!

KRIS: From that point of when you so-called “disengage” the meditation and put the mayor’s hat back on, you may indeed joyfully create many other focal personalities.

BRIAN: Thank you, Kris. Great answer.

KRIS: The individuality known as El-Don or Kwaa’Ji or many others is never extinguished, nor is it shelved in a cupboard somewhere to gather dust and cobwebs, but it becomes an integrated aspect within the whole, but never lost or misplaced. Does that help?

BRIAN: Yes, thank you Kris.

KRIS: What is the time?

MARK: 8:51.

KRIS: Perhaps there is one last question?

ANYA: I have a question about the cycles that you mentioned. Let’s just say that tomorrow I want to start observing my meditative cycle, but what you were saying is our entire life is a meditation which will probably imply that my whole day tomorrow is meditation, so what would be a good starting point for me to…is there a specific meditative state that I want to start observing, because otherwise, I probably go through thousands of meditative states through the day. I want some help for tomorrow, watching and observing that, do you have any suggestions or comments?

KRIS: Indeed. You may even begin with the simple act of waking, and if in that process you write your dreams and recollections of your adventures while you slept, that is a meditation. And within the greater meditation of your life, there are many nested meditative states. During the day you also fluctuate between many others, so the matter is simply to pay attention to specifics when you notice them. Not to the point of distraction, but rather to the point of noticing the flow and, as you are an experienced cyclist, you know how to flow with the road, correct?

ANYA: Right.

KRIS: Flow with the day. You will experience and note both highs and lows, even the so-called lows may be a simple, different point of meditation. Keep observing, notice where you indeed have stronger, more vibrant points. Peaks, if you like, and valleys, so you may capitalize on each and every one of them in a way suited to your personality. Does that make sense?

ANYA: Yes, and I was wondering, that practice suggested in the “Course of Miracles,” I had it on my mind today, the whole day, actually, when they do an affirmation, or a focused meditation every hour, like the beginning of the hour, 12:00 or 1:00, or 2:00, so that may be a point of noticing bigger chunks of meditative states.

KRIS: Now, what do you do if you notice that your peak or valley is at 11:15 or perhaps 11:21? The idea is to notice your own processes. That will be far more beneficial. We would recommend initially not to get involved with the laying down of affirmations and many other such things until you have a better picture of some of your own processes and then perhaps next we can discuss the application of what you nowadays call affirmations. In olden times may have been called prayers, and so on, all of which are various types of affirmative mental actions, as a more in-depth and pro-active meditative practice.

ANYA: Very nice. Thank you very much.

KRIS: Indeed then, we thank all of your lovely selves for your consideration, with or without access codes and so on! [People with access codes would people on the teleconference call and people without access codes would be people who read or listen to the session at a later date.] And do have lovely meditations in your sleep.

ALL: Thank you, Kris.
