Roll Call: Serge (Joseph), Mark (Philip), John (Sohars), and Lida (Miriam)

(8:16 PM)

KRIS: Now we trust that you are comfortable and we thank you for your lovely consideration. Your earlier discussion at the dinner table… they could even be labeled many discussions, but some of those discussions brought you to ask various questions. Do you remember them?

JOHN: Yes, I think I remember some of them.

KRIS: They are all indicators of deeper knowledge slowly brimming to the surface and it is, in your own time, something that you will need to address, specifically about the focus personality. Do you remember that discussion?

JOHN: Yes, about the focus personality in some sense evolving into an Essence?

KRIS: It is not that the focus would evolve into Essence, since focus IS Essence, and that unique Expression of Essence, all of its attributes and characteristics, its lovely eccentricities and uniqueness become then a window of opportunity for an entirely new experimentation to take birth, a whole new perspective that simply replicates some of the blueprints from its own original source: Essence. But also acquires an entirely new and individuated sense of purpose.

Therefore, itself newly birthed in that sense of the word gives birth again to many new focuses, in that sense of the word. So you have a system whereby the opportunities are provided for those energies, literally to take on a life of their own. You were asking earlier as to where your own Essence comes from, were you not?

JOHN: Yes.

KRIS: And though Essence always IS there are periods and seasons in the life of Essence, to loosely utilize your own syntax, in such a way that a brand new perspective creates exactly the right kind of auspicious circumstances whereby a wholly different Essence takes birth by choice. Energy transforms itself once again and that process is simply eternal. So it directly and indirectly answers your question, still leaving room for further expansions.

JOHN: Yes.

KRIS: As the entire process itself always leaves room for expansion. Though it is quite popular to imagine that when you leave your physical form, when you disengage, you somehow or other merge into a big blob of consciousness. That is not necessarily the case. Many who fantasize about this kind of a transition may indeed see to the creation of new conditions for themselves, until they can better organize their constructions and creations.

It is like the teenager who leaves school, thinking now that he has learned all there is to learn and experience. Perhaps he is graduating grade twelve or thirteen and now he will simply stay where he is at, figuring he has accomplished everything he needs to accomplish now. Do you understand that?

JOHN: Yes.

KRIS: And it is obvious even in your very own human experiences that this simply is not the case. In fact, learning, in that sense of the word, learning how to utilize your own creative energies continues and is an ongoing process of discovery. Does that also make sense?

JOHN: Sure, wonderful.

KRIS: So the point is that you do not “blob,” but that instead your own perspective continues to widen and you may indeed find yourself with the desire to continue your explorations and experimentations.

MARK: Or not?

KRIS: That is also a choice, but it should not be taken so lightly. From the egoic perspective to simply tell yourself, “I have a choice! I don’t have to do anything!”

MARK: Well, there’s always…I’m under the understanding that there’s ALWAYS something to do…..my comment there of the “Or not?” is: I’m wondering what the other options might be. I did not suppose that “do nothing” was one of them.

KRIS: It is literally impossible to do nothing in your sense of the word, even if you sit all day, pretending you do nothing, you in actuality are doing much more than you assume.

MARK: Yes.

KRIS: You are breathing, your system is digesting, your body is undergoing a variety of processes and so on and so forth, and you also do not stop thinking and in that, you process more energy even than your physical form, sitting there as it were. The majority of individuals who like to banter about thinking: “I have a choice and I would choose to not do anything. I will not do nothing.” (Group chuckles at Kris’ uncharacteristic grammatical choice.) If one cares for that kind of English!

However, what would be the underlying reasons for an individual to approach in this fashion to create that kind of idea in his head?

MARK: Apathy.

KRIS: In many senses, yes. In many senses or ways, many people with that kind of perception have also taken the attitude that, because they cannot necessarily get all of what they want, then it is not worth having. Does that also make sense?

MARK: Yes.

KRIS: So it is a kind of denial.

JOHN: Sour grapes.

KRIS: Indeed. Best deny what one doesn’t like. When there is such discounting of Self, it also implies that you automatically discount others and you discount your creation. You may find that your own deepest urges and impulses lead you back to square one to re-examine the situation in an attempt to assist the individual in realizing his or her perspectives and fine tune the tools of awareness. Otherwise you experience, the individual experiences, stunted psychological perspective and will find it more and more difficult to pursue other interests. Does that also make sense?

(Yes)

Otherwise you end up with individuals who are not unlike anti-establishment punk rockers! (Group laughs) Inherently, such an expression has validity, in its own way, in its own time, eventually will be dropped by the individual. Do you follow?

(Yes)

Not all anti-establishment punk rockers actually do change their perspectives, unless there is sufficient reason to do so, which would involve a certain degree of maturity, but to be angry at the establishment the whole of one’s life, simply creates a life of anger that eventually will need to be balanced and healed.

MARK: We were talking about that at dinner as well, not so much the punkers (Chuckling), but the anti-establishmentarians who actually become a part of the establishment later in life. That, I think, is an acceptance, an allowing, and a growth.

KRIS: Indeed, because the more you wage war on the perceived enemy, the more you need to create the enemy to keep waging war on. Does that make sense?

MARK: Yes.

KRIS: There comes a time in an individual’s life where the weapons can be put to rest, the swords turned into plows, and the rich, fertile soil of the imagination seeded with a different future, a different creation. And with nurturing and the proper elemental resources, those seeds grow and you can harvest the results, correct?

(Yes)

And again, there is validity to the expressions of anger, but to discount and disallow any transformations of that energy becomes a severe problem if it is not dealt with properly. You do not expect the child to go through his thumb-sucking stage until he is approximately forty or fifty years old, correct?

JOHN: Right. He sucks on cigarettes at that point!

(Group laughter)

KRIS: So there are different stages of maturation that lead to different degrees of perceptions. And again, expressions have their validity. It only becomes a problem when it starts interfering with that individual’s own growth and sense of self-worth. And when this is further denied, then the body or the outside environment in those terms, begin the slow process of assisting the individual to awaken to his or her situation, one that may have been prolonged way past its own natural state; and when it becomes putrefied, then action needs to be taken.

The body needs to expunge that which no longer feeds the rest, but starts to poison the rest. If it is not at the physical level, then it will be at the psychological, emotional or psychic levels, and if it is not paid attention to and addressed properly, will continue to cause difficulties.

JOHN: The body is really a very good and dear friend in that way, isn’t it?

KRIS: Indeed, it does alert you to situations that you have ignored. It seeks to redress the stifling of energies all by itself, your physical imagery, with its complex arrangement of molecular structures. This even superior to your computer systems hundreds of years from now.

JOHN: But it’s also very sweet of it to let our psychic chickens come home to roost, so to speak, when we won’t let them in the barn….if we just deny, deny, deny, then eventually we get it right in the neck!

MARK: (Chuckling) Literally.

KRIS: So the point is to develop a society and civilization that does not ignore and deny even its own psychological and psychic manifestations, that does not deny its emotional realities, leaning only and solely towards rational, intellectual creations as if nothing else has any worth. Even the most scientific mind, even the most rational, intellectual individual, cannot survive long without his or her emotional, psychological nature.

Just as an individual may not survive with more than several days of complete sleep deprivation until hallucinations begin to take hold and eventually psychological sanity is lost and the physical form begins to shut down. So your physical forms are truly miraculous in themselves and they can be seen, as often is, an impediment to your own desired spiritual growth, as often touted in various philosophies, OR you can recognize it for the font of resources and wisdom contained within it that can be brought from its own cellular depth through to the conscious mind.

Some people refer to this as the Akashic records. However, even beyond such notions, the physical body, since it is composed of the stuff of the Earth and the stars, does contain an innate bank of wisdom far richer than you could possibly imagine. And it can be tapped into. You, in a general sense, believe that intuitions and telepathy are merely a psychic phenomenon, but you do not necessarily recognize that it is also very much a biological phenomenon.

Without the great harmony that exists as a state of the body, you would first of all not function very properly. Every cell in your body knows its place and its purpose. And the cells of the liver do not function in the same way as the cells in the brain or the bladder and vice versa. So there is a certain orderliness to the structure of the body, but above and beyond that, the cells in your body have an awareness of the cells in the bodies of the other individual’s in this room, as well as the other selves and things on your planet.

JOHN: (In a tone of disbelief) Whoa, well now, wait a minute — ! (Laughing)

KRIS: So that is at deeper psychic levels than anything you can rationally explain. And those systems are constantly in communication, so telepathy and intuitiveness is not merely at the psychic or psychological level, but it also appears at the biological level. So you are, each of you, aware at any given time, in that way, of everyone and everything on your planet….planet included, thank you very much!

MARK: (Chuckling)

JOHN: That reminds me, Kris: I’ve got to plug a book here called “The Heart’s Code,” by Paul Pearsall and he said something in that book that absolutely reminds me of what you’re saying. He says that every time our heart beats, each one of us, every other heart on the planet, instantaneously recognizes that signal. That seems to be what you’re saying.

KRIS: Indeed. Not only the heart, but all the cells that compose all of the bodies of the entire human race, is aware of each other.

JOHN: He said something else in that book kind of interesting also, which I’m just going to run past you. He says that when you do a heart transplant…..he had a case that’s almost comical of a guy who had a Latin American guy’s heart – he had an accident or something and his heart was transplanted into a white guy — and the white guy started really liking Mexican music and hot food! (Chuckling)

MARK: That could be any organ of the body, but yeah, there’s lots of documentation on that.

JOHN: So the heart somehow, carries with it, qualities that –

KRIS: Certain resonances and memories, indeed. And the individual who is the recipient of such a heart would have unconsciously, if he was not made consciously aware of the donor, would have unconsciously perceived certain intuitions, traces of the memories of the donor and would have made allowances for such displays only on his approval. So there may very well be individuals who receive foreign parts who would never respond in that manner.

JOHN: Oh, so it’s an agreement then.

KRIS: Correct.

JOHN: Ah. Interesting.

MARK: I’m also thinking along the lines where an event takes place somewhere in the world and somebody far away feels sick or feels down and doesn’t know why. The cells react in their body in a certain way that’s reflective of the event, without fully being consciously aware of the event. Being a sadness or that nauseous feeling….or the opposite even, a feeling of joy.

KRIS: Even if such a situation does occur, it would not be without the individual making allowance. Unconsciously they may very well have a degree of awareness about the situation, even if minimal. Other than that, no one necessarily experiences such a situation without his or her agreement.

MARK: Understood. We’ve talked about that many times during mass events and individual participation.

KRIS: Simply because one is not consciously aware of such situations does not mean that they do not exist. Does that make sense?

MARK: Yes. So not only did we participate in the writing of the script, as actors we choose to have forgotten that part in order to play the role, get into character.

KRIS: As occurs in your physical world. If the performer has to constantly remind himself or herself who they are whilst undertaking the role of the character, then they cannot give the character due credit. So they do momentarily suspend any notions of who they are other than being in character.

Otherwise it is flawed. Otherwise the audience can detect that there is something amiss here, that there is an element that is missing and the character’s behavior appears shallow, by rote, and not true. And any member of an audience can detect that in a moment because they are in the process of forgetting who they are, to identify with the character! If they cannot get that identification they themselves are constantly reminded of their lives at home, or otherwise.

MARK: That’s so true.

KRIS: So not only is it important for the actor to forget his or her other life than the one they are playacting now, they do it on behalf of the audience as well. What does that mean, then? That when you undertake your own life in this time and space, to a certain degree you put aside the well-rounded out edges of your unlimited state of being to undertake the creation of a different state of being almost from scratch, though you are able to shore up your experiences to a certain degree, with a database or a bank of resources. Do you also follow that?

(Yes)

As we have mentioned many times you do not have to learn to think. You do that spontaneously. You manage how you think, you do not have to learn how to see or hear or make sounds with your mouth. You refine all of these, but they do come quite naturally to the majority of individuals. There are those other individuals who choose in your words to be handicapped, because in many respects they are finding alternative ways to express themselves, utilizing their own innate resources in a different capacity.

And neither is better or worse. They are both valid. So this, in some small ways, may perhaps assist an individual recognize that even though they do not necessarily remember that they chose their parents and their family and their bloodline and the belief structure they were born into, does not mean it cannot be true. Do you follow?

JOHN: Yes. That brings up something else we were talking about over dinner, which is the idea that we travel in busloads. What I begin to understand is that I not only chose my parents and my bloodline and my time and space, but with a bunch of other Essences I also chose to continue a play or an engagement that may span a number of lifetimes and in this lifetime I may be balancing something that happened or didn’t happen in another lifetime. Is that fair?

KRIS: Indeed. There are many different focuses of your Essence and their various actions and choices, as are yours, can exert an influence in the overall picture. And there are periodic needs to simply bring the entire instrumentation into harmony once again. Not that you are broken and in need of fixing, but in the sense that very often ego constructions tend to over-do.

Thus there periodic needs to harmonize the entire structure, psychological structure, to prevent imbalances in one area or another and even those are allowed because of the potential to then bring balance and harmony as a new way of refining and perhaps even re-inventing resources. So it is not an isolated production, but one that ties in yet to other units of productions.

JOHN: Right.

KRIS: Everything always tying into something else. The point is being able to allow sufficient harmony within, to see this in action, and again, to take advantage of its benefits. We did say that you live in a meaningful universe, correct?

JOHN: Yes and that we are meaningful beings.

KRIS: Indeed, therefore everything is meaningful.

JOHN: Yes, I like what you said about the ego sometimes going a little too far. I think honestly, in the blueprints, we may have given the ego just a little too much juice. We may want to dial it back a little…in the next incarnation of the theme? Just dial it back a little. The ego.

MARK: (Chuckling) No overacting!

JOHN: It’s too protective, it’s too enthusiastic.

KRIS: It is doing exactly what you tell it to do.

JOHN: (Chuckling)

MARK: Mind you, we’re looking at it in the context of an experimentation and that experimentation is changing.

JOHN: That actually raises a question I’ve been wanting to ask, Kris. In the same way that we here on this planet have asked for and allowed voices such as yours to come through and give us helpful information, perspectives…in your native realm, are there voices that are speaking to you from even broader perspective in a similar way?

KRIS: Not in the specific way that you are making this association, but we do experience openings in awareness that can be easily recognized and traced to yet greater layers of Selfhood that we know exist and are in the process of discovering. So there is always a process of discovery.

Now to return to your ego for just a moment, even though the ego is often maligned, considered the bad boy of spiritual experiences, it must be clearly said and pointed that for instance, even in your own living situation, had it not been for the ego, you would not be where you are today.

MARK: Quite literally!

KRIS: Indeed. Now we are aware that there may be individuals who would immediately say, “That is correct! I would be Essence now!” That is not what we mean at all. In fact, such individuals would never get there because of their immature perceptions, period. What we do mean is exactly that without the potentials and the resources of transforming energy from one state to another, you would not be who you are, and you would not have gotten what you have gotten in the last month. Does that make sense?

JOHN: That’s a very useful perspective and you’re quite right, the last month has been….well…special.

KRIS: Indeed, and this has been in part due to your ego’s abilities to direct the concentration of your energies and project it onto physical reality and then to recognize the feedback, the enforcement.

JOHN: Yes. The validation, yeah.

KRIS: That is correct, so those who believe that once they leave, once they disengage they do not have to deal with the ego, who always gets in the way, might be very disappointed. What you consider the ego IS an extension of your inner Self.

[An emergency vehicle is heard passing below the apartment.]

MARK: (Jokingly) I’m not creating sirens in my next reality!

KRIS: Do you follow?

JOHN: Yes, yes.

KRIS: You have, in many ways, something else to be thankful for and to appreciate.

JOHN: Ah yes!

KRIS: The many wonderful properties of the ego that enable you to recognize what you can be grateful for and appreciative of.

JOHN: Yes, yes. That’s going up tomorrow morning on Newworldview.com.

MARK: (Laughing) I’ll beat you to it!

JOHN: Yes, another thing we were saying over dinner Kris, and I want to thank you for the 21-day appreciation game, I caught myself the other day appreciating something that wasn’t on today’s list. It was from several days ago and I decided I would allow it. But what I’m noticing is that appreciating myself is becoming…it’s spreading…like a virus or something and it’s changing, it’s….yeah. Thank you.

KRIS: Be thankful there is no virus protection, at least in this case!

JOHN: Just a thought about that 21-day appreciation game — it’s fabulous, by the way — let’s say that we did a 21-day creativity game, or a 21-day imagination game, where each day for 21 days we imagine something…..I’m not sure how this would go here, but it seems to me that appreciation is only one thing that we can 21-day.

MARK: But of course. That’s brilliant, by the way, but of course!

JOHN: But of course!

KRIS: In order to make good use of each day’s appreciation, you indeed do utilize your imagination.

JOHN: Ah, that’s true.

KRIS: To see how you may apply this in a variety of ways throughout the day, so automatically your imagination is engaged. And the more you utilize it, the more you benefit on all counts.

JOHN: One quick question about allowance, if I may, which, as you may know, has become kind of a pet topic for me — the allowance/opposing dichotomy?

KRIS: Indeed.

JOHN: The other day I was at Goodwill, and I got my buggy, which I put my coat and gloves and stuff in, and I had put two other items that I was going to buy into my buggy, but I left it at one corner of the store and I was wandering around shopping for something else and suddenly I thought, “Oh, where’s my buggy?” I went to look for it and it wasn’t where I thought it was. Now, immediately I panic, “Oh my god, where’s my buggy?”

MARK: (Chuckling)

JOHN: So I get about halfway around the store, looking down the rows and trying to find it, and I can’t find it, and I get around to near the check-out area and I come to my senses and I say, “Okay, wait a minute, Johnny, you’re opposing the fact that you’ve lost your buggy.” And in that instant I said, “Okay, I allow! I allow this.” Now, the timing here was exquisite, because in the instant when I said, “I allow this,” I found my buggy! Now, the thing that I found so startling is, I was allowing LOSING my buggy, and in that instant, I found my buggy! This seemed to me to be a very dramatic demonstration of the power of allowance.

KRIS: Others may choose to think it is merely coincidence, but again, you do have meaningful lives in a meaningful universe. You had simply forgotten to create the form of your buggy by withdrawing your attention from it to something else, and the allowing simply signaled that you could easily recreate it. Does that make sense?

JOHN: (Laughing) That makes beautiful sense! Thank you. I love that way of thinking about it. I forgot to create it! And by allowing, I allowed myself to create it! It almost feels as if it’s too easy, too simple and too much fun. I almost feel like I’ve learned how to cheat. (Chuckling)

MARK: Well, the trick next time is when you allow for the re-creation of the buggy and your coat and stuff, to allow for the pockets of your jacket to be filled with money! (Laughing)

JOHN: I’ll try that next time! Because if I’m creating the buggy and the coat, what the hell!

KRIS: And in actuality, this is a very valid point. The majority of individuals that are on the prosperity track actually do forget this very valid principle: to allow that there is always more. So many have been raised, brought up and practiced scarcity, lack of, which encourages the development of poverty, or lack of abundance and when they have a few dollars, what do they do? Clutch it! Unwilling to part with any part of it. What does that mean? What does that say?

MARK: You get what you concentrate on. “I’m not getting any more, so I’m gonna hang onto this.”

KRIS: Indeed. Now, what does it say unconsciously? “There is no more.” So the unconscious, or the inner Self says, “Fine. No more.” Do you understand that?

JOHN: Yes, I love that! I love that. That’s the difference between survival and — what was it we were talking about the other night?

KRIS: Conquering.

JOHN: Yeah, like we were talking about Myrna the other night and that she was not just surviving [having once had cancer], but she was conquering, so this isn’t just getting by, survival in terms of abundance, this is more…

MARK: Living. This is living.

KRIS: Allowing more and more.

JOHN: Yeah, that’s great.

KRIS: We will definitely be bringing this up at another time since it is an important aspect of your meaningful existence.

LIDA: I don’t think you are talking about money only, right?

KRIS: No, but it is an important part of your everyday transactions and there should always be an allowance for more of EVERYTHING. More joy, more happiness, more love, more tenderness, more finances, more success. MORE. That state of allowing can be expanded to incorporate so much more of whom and what you are. Ultimately it is not about just the loving, the finances or anything else, but it is about more of you. Enjoying and exploring more of Self throughout all of its marvelous manifestations. The point is to allow for more. Does that make sense to you?

MARK: Yes.

JOHN: Brilliant.

MARK: That’s a big one.

JOHN: And thanks for the reminder. The next time that buggy is gonna have a gold brick underneath my coat!

KRIS: And what does it mean if you are able to manifest more money?

MARK: Proof. Evidence.

JOHN: It means you can manifest more of anything.

KRIS: Indeed. And what is a good way to always have more?

MARK: Imagine it?

KRIS: Give more.

JOHN: Ah!

KRIS: Do not hoard.

JOHN: Ah yes, because by giving, the subconscious communication is, “There’s more! No worries, me!”

KRIS: One has to be in a comfortable space to allow it. Once you do, it does say, “We are not worried, because there is more coming. More coming, and more coming. We are not worried about loving, because there is always more coming. We are not worried about friendships because there are always more coming.” Do you follow?

JOHN: Yes, lovely.

KRIS: It does and will indicate an entirely different level of maturity. Now what is the time?

MARK: 9:14

KRIS: Then we suggest a small break.

(Break begins)

MARK: What I find really intriguing is that no matter what the discussion is nowadays, I find he’ll say something, and I’ll say, “this transcript,” or “that transcript,” or “Oh yeah, that’s in there,” but now ….it’s like I didn’t get the A-ha! back then…I’m getting it now, because I’m in a different place, because it’s in all the transcripts! I wanted to say to him, when he said, “there’s always more,” I wanted to say, “Well why didn’t you tell me that five years ago!” (Laughter) But in a way, he did! I was just not …

LIDA: Ready.

JOHN: That brilliant idea of “Don’t just imagine this, but imagine this and MORE.” I’m going to add that to everything I imagine.

MARK: If you remember those sessions where we talked about giving and spending, or you give five dollars to a homeless person, it will come back to you tenfold, these types of things.

JOHN: I never understood the mechanism as well as I do now.

MARK: Now the mechanism is understood….and it’s not only homeless, it’s in your lifestyle, and we were talking earlier about this reverend who wrote this book back in 1902 or something, and one of the chapters — it’s also expressed in “The Secret” and in the law of attraction — is you live the way you want to. You know, you behave in that manner. You may not have the money now, your goals are going to be there, but you don’t hoard, you live that lifestyle. You want that, you go buy that. Now I understand the mechanism.

You’ve still got to live within your means, obviously.

LIDA: Yeah, but it doesn’t always apply to money only.

MARK: Yes, very good.

LIDA: You know there have been so many books written…you know, money, money, money….it’s so important, but it’s just one part of our experience. There’s friendship.

JOHN: Love…joy.

MARK: Health. You name it.

JOHN: Yes….(Musingly) so how do you give health? Oh, I know! You don’t worry about…like if someone has a cold you [worry about them getting worse], you say, “My health….there’s more” so you say, “I’ve got more health than I need. You can have some of my health!”

MARK: (Laughing) That’s probably….right there! “You can have some of my health,” it’s the giving. And most people would fret and be afraid because they don’t feel they have enough. “I don’t dare give away my health!”

JOHN: I’m going to infect you with my health rather than be infected by your germs!

LIDA: And this is the energy that will help these people get better, right?

JOHN: They will recognize the energy of “more.”

LIDA: And this is so simple.

(Kris returns at 9:25 PM)

KRIS: Now, as you are aware, in only a few hours it will be a new year for you and you do understand that it is purely a psychological event. The seasons and the rhythm of time continues its journey. It does not change, become old or new, but you do make that distinction and it is an important one, psychologically, emotionally, for your species.

An excellent practice, when you move towards a new year is to give rest to the old year. Many people review some of the events of the old year and it is an excellent perspective that can be added to simply by coming to terms with a variety of situations that may indeed have caused upsets of one kind or another. And there is no sense in denying your own emotional posturing, even though you may understand the principles of conscious creation somewhat.

Do not deny then, that you may have been upset or angry at this or that, understanding that you have the potential to transform those events and conditions. And it is an excellent practice to review your successes as well. And regardless of the details, focus upon them. Bring them into your awareness (unintelligible word) no minute details and together create, GENERATE, a strong momentum, knowing that you are on the threshold of a new year with great, even greater plans.

That you have at your disposal, the tools and the resources necessary to keep building upon your successes, to keep that momentum going very strongly and begin already to envision that growth, proceeding perhaps even at an accelerated pace, seeing that there is indeed more, that you allow the creation of more in your life. More happiness. More relationships. More financial abundance. More Joy. More peace. More wisdom.

And that the new year contains all of the “more of’s” that you can possibly shake a stick at, giving thanks for the lessons learned, and for the successes that you have manifested, being appreciative of your potential to then create more for yourselves in the upcoming new year. Play with the concept of more and do recognize that you get more of what you concentrate upon, so it behooves you to find out what you are concentrating upon, because you will get more of that. Does that make sense?

(Yes)

JOHN: And if we concentrate on more, we get more and more!

KRIS: The point also being to be aware of exactly what you are concentrating upon…because you will get more.

MARK: I really like the idea of concentrating on your successes. For the past year…and allowing for the negative to … [Kris interrupts.]

KRIS: They are part of your experience. No sense in pretending it didn’t happen, because the more you deny a thing; the more you give it power. Hence, if you concentrate on that, guess what you will get more of. If you concentrate on lack of abundance, you will get more of ?

MARK: Lack of abundance.

JOHN: That seems such a fundamental concept, Kris, and yet, it’s the exact reverse of the official reality’s perspective on that.

KRIS: And where does the official reality come to terms with this? It cannot.

JOHN: Now, I do see some cracks. “The Secret” (movie title) is a crack in the official reality.

KRIS: And there are many more.

MARK: And there have been many along the road.

KRIS: Many. The official line of consciousness is ripe with cracks, gaping holes, but by its very nature, the official line of consciousness is BLIND to all of these things, and thinks that everything is fine.

JOHN: The emperor has no clothes.

LIDA: So how do we deal with the situation on a day to day basis?

KRIS: Discover what you are concentrating upon. If it is “lack of,” begin to change the tide. Concentrate on things that give you more of.

LIDA: I’m not talking about myself, I’m talking about the bigger picture.

KRIS: We are talking about the bigger picture. The bigger picture is you. Always you. The more you focus upon “More of,” the more the people around you will get a sense of what you are all about. Some may be objecting and others may be allowing. People will see that you are happier and they will wonder, “How does she do it? Is it Oil of Olay?”

MARK: (Laughing)

KRIS: They will question their own innate nature. Their inner Self, their unconscious, will motivate them to discover what is making YOU happy in some way or another. When you tell them, they may decide to oppose, or not. We mentioned earlier that every cell in your body is aware of every cell in every other body, correct? The cells in their bodies are aware of what is going on in your body through cellular telepathy that may eventually bubble up to the surface of another individual’s conscious mind, even through the tiniest cracks of their official line of consciousness and it may cause them to question “Why is she so happy? Maybe I can find out.” Do you follow?

LIDA: Yes, I do.

KRIS: Indeed, because everything that you see around you, the phenomenon of the world, is the re-enforcement of YOUR beliefs and states of mind.

MARK: So as we change our own beliefs, the world around us will automatically reflect back.

KRIS: That is correct. You have world conflicts, wars and so on because there are individuals who HATE war, who HATE conflict, who hate their INNER conflict, their INNER war.

LIDA: This is their projection?

KRIS: Indeed and why would it appear in your reality even third-hand? To remind each and every one of you that this also echoes some of your own perspectives to one degree or another. Recognize what it is that you oppose in yourselves and then recognize what you allow in yourselves. The world truly is a wonderful, creative endeavor.

The world works PERFECTLY. Your reality is PERFECT. It perfectly mirrors the values that you entertain between your opposing and your allowing. When you consciously assess that there is a situation that is bothersome, recognize its roots, make the necessary adjustments towards allowing, and in time, when you have healed that portion of your Being, when you have accepted it, it will begin to reflect into your world.

JOHN: I think that’s the real secret of the ages right there.

KRIS: When you have nations that have declared war on poverty, war on drugs, war on war, war on terrorism, what do you have?

MARK: War.

JOHN: What we have is what we got.

MARK: More war.

KRIS: In common words, “you gets what you concentrate upon.”

MARK: It’s funny that we’ve been concentrating upon stupidity in government and we end up with George Bush.

KRIS: So the point is — what?

MARK: You get what you concentrate upon.

JOHN: So concentrate on more of what you like.

KRIS: If you want peace, then concentrate upon that. Become that which you concentrate upon.

MARK: And not lack of.

KRIS: Lack of war will not bring you peace.

MARK: No, but lack of peace will not bring us peace either.

KRIS: Correct. So you need more peace. So have fun with the very building blocks of creation. They are all here and here, in your minds and your hearts. Does that make sense?

JOHN: Lovely that, oh yes.

KRIS: So now you may have an inkling of what your new year will bring to you.

MARK: MORE!

KRIS: Now what is the time?

MARK: 9:42.

KRIS: Indeed then, we should leave you to enjoy MORE OF your evening.

(Chuckling)

And may the New Year be filled with all the “mores” you can fit into it.

ALL: Thank you, Kris.

Bigger Than Life

December 21, 2006

Channeled by Serge J. Grandbois and Transcribed by Ellen Gilbert (Kwaa’Ji)
Recorded in Toronto, Canada on December 21, 2006

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

[JOHN'S NOTES: Myrna and I paid a social visit to Serge and Mark this evening and enjoyed turkey meatballs with spätzle, red wine, chocolate cake and sweet potato pie. We were sitting in the living room chatting over a luscious party tray of melon and kiwi when Serge told Mark to get the recorder - Kris wanted to join the party!

We had been talking about playful imagination as a communication with Essence about ways to insert magical possibilities into our everyday lives. Kris came through and affirmed the value of playful imagination. "Imagination is the gateway to experience."]

(8:41 PM)

KRIS: Indeed we trust you are comfortable with your nibblies and your discussions. Your conversation indeed has been QUITE interesting. Especially so because, on the one hand, you have made great strides and yet, on the other hand, you still — to use common vernacular — still dance around the thought. Ever so nicely, however!

MYRNA: What does that mean, Kris?

KRIS: And by that we mean for instance, you have expressed that if a member of your family even has so much as a sniffle, you already are considering the possibility that pneumonia will set in, and then there will be doctor’s visits and medications and it will only get worse, correct?

MYRNA: Yeah.

KRIS: To a certain degree.

MYRNA: (Laughing) To quite a degree.

KRIS: Now, you are then utilizing something like EFT to make some allowances for this to be present in your life: the anxiety. Correct?

MYRNA: I’m using EFT to understand that I make allowances for the anxiety, is that what you’re saying?

KRIS: Correct. However, you still, as do many, many people, concentrate on the other’s situation, for instance, as you have expressed, with your son. Yet, if you look very carefully, you’re opposing, whether it is your situation…or yours…or yours, really has little to do with anyone else or their situation in your environment, but has to do with yourselves.

And if you ALLOW yourself to be part of and even the only item in the picture, it may prove quite revealing in the sense of naked truth. In the sense that there really is nothing that you can do about another’s situation, but there IS something that you can do about yourself. Always!

This does not minimize or negate any good will and good intentions towards the health or any other situation concerning someone else, but by making allowances for yourself specifically, you might indeed discover that you can gain tenfold what you originally began with. Does that make sense so far?

MYRNA: No…not just that last part. “I can gain tenfold what I….”

MARK: The other is you, right?

MYRNA: Right.

MARK: So, if you take the drama on your mind about another person’s illness and turn it onto you, and allow from there, you can gain tenfold.

JOHN: So it’s not about Michael.

MYRNA: Right.

KRIS: It never is about anyone else but yourselves.

MYRNA: Yeah, I actually understand that.

KRIS: And that is where the tenfold gain comes into play, because then you are dealing with the naked self.

MYRNA: And as you say that, what I’m aware of lately a great deal, is that most of this comes back to a sense of powerlessness that I have as a belief and it’s interesting because, sitting here with you over the last couple of years, you have been suggesting that I’m not powerless at all, that I’ve got huge power. I’m having a hard time getting my mind around that. I can’t fold my mind around that, accepting that.

KRIS: Indeed. For example….a very nice, simple example: You are a breast cancer survivor.

MYRNA: Yes.

KRIS: What allowed the survival? Was it the medications, the chemo, the medical system, or all of their fancy gizmos?

MYRNA: No, I didn’t have chemo. No, it was my belief that — in that case it was vitamins, but that was my vehicle.

KRIS: Indeed.

MYRNA: That’s all it was and it was my belief that I could do something to heal myself.

KRIS: Indeed. You did. You transformed the rest of your existence. Had you not, you would have been little more than worm castings. So you took matters in your own hands and you insisted that your life would be different, that you would come out of that darkness as not only a survivor, but a conqueror. There is a difference between merely being a survivor and a conqueror.

MYRNA: I’m only just starting to enjoy the fact that I conquered. I’ve been terrified that it was going to come back…..and I get the sense that I am a conqueror. And by the way, did you know I had this conversation with my brother about two months ago? (Laughs) It’s exactly what I said to him!

KRIS: When you allow the tiniest molecule of that sense of conquering into your lungs, into your body, into your awareness, what happens to you?

MYRNA: I….I feel…big…I feel filled with love….and that I could surround the people that I love with that love. I feel hugely powerful in terms of the love I have.

KRIS: Indeed, and what happens to your body, for instance?

MYRNA: Well, I certainly feel a lot healthier than I feel right now.

KRIS: And, how does your body respond? For instance, do you feel that quite by themselves, your shoulders may straighten out, your neck raise your head higher?

MYRNA: I do walk taller.

KRIS: Indeed and when you think about this, what happens to you?

MYRNA: Yes….I breathe deeply….I feel at peace, I feel very much at one with the world….

KRIS: Indeed. Perhaps a small experiment is warranted. Hold out your right hand and pretend for a moment that all of that conquering energy, the way it makes your body vibrate, the way it makes you feel so powerful, the way it fills you and your world with love, all comes into a small ball of energy in your right palm.

Feel its intensity, its mass, whether it pulses or vibrates, resonates, emanates…..and whilst you hold that thought and that ball of energy in your right hand, put out your left hand in the same way, and in your left hand think about the very many different fearful, negative situations. They could be one, ten, one hundred situations, whether real or imagined is not important and notice how your body feels when you concentrate on any one such item. Your shoulders may start to slump, your head go down, your energy levels drop. Your body feels itself perhaps even slightly sickly.

Hold that in your hand, perhaps as a small orb that may represent that lifeless type of energy style. It may even look like a sickly ball of energy. Hold that thought where it is and in your mind’s eye, focus again on the ball of energy in your right hand as it is pulsing and emanating and vibrating and brilliant, life-giving, that this energy can change the course of history through who you are.

And now think back on your left hand with that sickly ball of energy and it too can change the course of history, but in a manner you may not desire. And now think again about the right hand and that vibrant, powerful ball of energy, and in a moment, we will count from one to three, and at three your palms will join together.

Keep focusing on the vibrant ball of energy with its strength, its power. And as soon as we start counting from one to three, bring your palms together where at three they will join. One….two….and three. And then release the energy into the universe…..and feel free to open your eyes and drop your hands and just be yourself. Now how does that feel? How do YOU feel?

MYRNA: I…..want to go to sleep! (Chuckling) When anything is meaningful as that, I just kind of want to go to sleep. Not from a depressed place, a mellow, easy place.

MARK: Myrna, you recently sent me an email with a PowerPoint presentation, with different slides. There’s an individual holding the sun…

JOHN: Oh yeah, that’s beautiful.

MYRNA: Oh, really? Oh right! The first picture!

MARK: The very first picture. That was my ball…picture that. That’s you standing there, that beautiful….

KRIS: (To John) And how do YOU feel?

JOHN: I feel WONDERFUL. Yes, fabulous. I noticed when I released that energy into the universe, the universe looked strangely, curiously like the vibrant energy ball all of a sudden. Only much, much bigger.

KRIS: And you?

MARK: I had trouble looking at the dark ball. I didn’t like that and of course I did. I did the exercise, but I knew that I did not like it, and I was more than willing to go back to the other ball, but I would keep making the other ball bigger and myself in the process. Being bigger than life and I really felt the empowering.

KRIS: And that is the key word.

MARK: Empowering?

KRIS: Most individuals are of the belief that life is bigger than they are, therefore, sometime during the course of the battle with life, they would falter, especially when their worldview incorporates such beliefs as that life is an endless, uphill battle, for every breath that you take you must fight. However, that is a misconception. Understandably so, but again we must come to an earlier discussion about what is true and what is truth.

From our humble perspective, each of you are bigger than life, bigger than the life that you contain. As such, your perspectives can be greatly expanded by flipping the coin, so to speak — unless you prefer to flip a finger! — And understand that you are bigger than life! You make life what it is. Does life make you choose? Or do you choose? Does life force you to be angry and scared, spiteful or any of these qualifications or do you?

When you understand that it really is all about you, that life is not your enemy, it is not bigger than you are, but instead you are bigger than life. That is why it is often said that, “It is very, very big!” because you are. And it is a bigness that can be most enjoyable. We spoke some time back of the Heroic Dimension. It is important in that vein to understand that you are the heroes and the heroines within this dimension. You are the Heroic Dimension of Self.

You are here then, literally, to make mountains and skyscrapers and oceans, and continents and planets out of nothing. How bigger can you be? There are times when life will present you a specific challenge. Is it to put you down? Or to kick you in the head when you are already down? No, you do that to yourselves. Very nicely, we would add!

When there are such challenges it is because YOU want a reminder that you are bigger than any of your challenges in any time-space continuum, because the time-space continuum is a by-product of your energy.

Imagine for a moment that you take your hand and you swipe the air with it in such a fashion. How many molecules within that pass did you encounter without knowing it? How many of those are solar systems and galaxies and other beings that intercept you with your touch? We refer to you as Earth gods and Earth goddesses, only to indicate to you that you have such a depth of being and power that sometimes it is easier to forget about it. It is not, because that would mean what?

That you would have to own up to your own responsibilities, so you can decide to abdicate your throne, so to speak, or would you wish to keep it?

MARK: (Jokingly) I think it’s a necessary part of the household.

(Group laughter)

MYRNA: It’s so interesting, the playground we’ve chosen to play in, where the everyday minutiae…

MARK: So much detail.

MYRNA: So much detail. SO much detail, and you take that and compare it to Earth gods’ and goddesses’ energy and here we are….here I am…deeply immersed in all this little stuff going on, and at the same time, all that little stuff is beautiful and I’m really trying to get to the point — we were talking about this earlier — of seeing my now….I guess it’s seeing my Now from the eyes of an Earth goddess. Seeing everything that I’ve created now around me is the purpose of my life. It’s the Now. I’m not quite sure yet how to deal with that information, that my Now is my purpose. I mean I get it…I get it….

KRIS: You can use the power of the PLAYFUL IMAGINATION. We believe you spoke about this earlier.

MYRNA: Yes.

KRIS: And indeed, you do remember some of your mythologies, stories from your youth, how the gods in Olympus would decide this or that. Pretend then that you are now on YOUR Mt. Olympus and that with every step you take, the Earth rumbles, that the power of your presence changes everything.

Everything has a meaning, and everything is meaningful because you create it with your designing powers and abilities. And have fun. You create worlds where your imagination becomes the gateway to experience. Your earlier discussion about playfully imagining your invitation to the boardrooms and so on is something you are now discovering more than ever, and having fun with.

There are a great many people who dare not venture in that area because if it cannot happen exactly as they imagine it, then they feel that life has let them down. Why? Because they consider themselves smaller than life, whether a by-product or the refuse of their civilization, and yet within them is the power and the ability to transform the face of history and on their civilization, by stepping up to the plate and receiving their own appreciation for that power.

Others may feel that it is merely delusional because if none of it can be true, it is not worth investing time in it. But notice their lives. There is not worth as much to invest in that either. Do you understand?

MYRNA: Yes, I was just thinking about your twenty-one day appreciation game and how I can now use that from the point of view of an Earth goddess.

JOHN: Yeah, appreciate a different quality of your Earth goddess-ness.

MYRNA: Exactly.

JOHN: In twenty-one days, and guess what’s coming out the other end.

MYRNA: Exactly.

JOHN: Mount Olympus!

MYRNA: (Laughing)

KRIS: The whole point is to have fun and enjoy what you are doing. And this is, yes, the whole point: find your enjoyment, find your pleasure, find your bliss, find your happiness.

[To Mark] Why do you think it is so difficult for you to go there that you would prefer that the universe do something by default?

MARK: That’s a good question……I don’t have an answer to that.

KRIS: Actually you do.

MARK: (Pause) Yes….afraid to go there…..Fear…..fear of change. Fear of my own power.

KRIS: Because if you acquiesced to that reality, you would have to admit that you CAN change your reality. You have made a great many strides, and in some areas even quantum leaps. Now you are ever closer to actually tapping into the vein of it all, the jugular so to speak, and it does indeed have to do with your imagination. Again, you are barely on the verge of recognizing its potential for you. Look back through your years and what you thought of everything you ever imagined, and how you felt let down in one way or another.

MARK: I have to agree with that.

KRIS: And….?

MARK: I also remember a young age…..well…I played in the sandbox a little bit TOO long and I was criticized for it, big time. Your too old for that, “that’s just for children,” you know, this whole bit, and that was really played down and yes, I created a whole series of disappointments…… (Thoughtfully) Well, what I thought were disappointments….because often in hindsight, they were not. But I do have a bad habit of self-sabotage.

KRIS: Indeed. If you had to take a guess, what would you guess might be the cause of that pattern?

MARK: Well, there’s a fear of success…..um….(muttering) you just said I had to acknowledge it, I would be afraid to acknowledge it….or I would be forced to acknowledge it….um…(Pondering)…. Losing myself in it? Not being me anymore? I don’t know.

KRIS: When you started exploring your addictive nature –

MARK: Yes.

KRIS: — through the processes of association, you linked being happy and successful with something that could also be very dangerous in terms that you could become a prisoner of your own happiness, success, AND addiction. Does that make sense to you?

MARK: Oh yeah. It’s a nasty one, isn’t it?

KRIS: Indeed.

JOHN: Cleverly creative.

MARK: Yes. No kidding.

KRIS: It is not uncommon.

MARK: It’s interesting because I probably started into it trying to fit in, be accepted, because I never did feel that I did fit in, anywhere. I never felt accepted, and then of course I did, and when I had it, and had money to buy it and other people didn’t, people would almost worship me, using me, but there was a pay-off. But in the end, it was detrimental. It was horrible.

KRIS: Now that opportunities may present themselves, the tendency would be to kick in some of those old patterns and to consider that if you venture into anything that is successful that you would like, perhaps this whole process will repeat itself again, simply because the manner in which you fit in is not necessarily the most fulfilling, though at that time it fulfilled certain criteria.

MARK: Right.

KRIS: The point being that if you wish to fit in, it needs to be done from within. Fit in with yourself. Those often disparaging, different and deferring camps that are still present within yourself, those camps of opposing opposition, even battles…..you dreamt not too long ago of being caught in a crossfire.

MARK: Yes.

KRIS: That should give you a small indication that it was not merely undecipherable dream imagery, but very realistic in those terms.

MARK: That’s interesting because I took the dream to mean that I was caught in the crossfire at work, but in reality, both were drawing the imagery to this other [issue].

KRIS: You drew that imagery to bring home that the cross firing is within you. It has nothing to do with work.

MARK: That’s just another example of it.

KRIS: Another way to remind you there is something going on.

MARK: Hmm. Thank you.

KRIS: The way to make peace with that is, again, to begin with Triple ‘A’.

MARK: I don’t think I would have caught that one on my own. That’s a big one.

KRIS: You would not have, because you have been hiding it for some time. And every time you seem to get close, to peek around the corner, you quickly extend a wall. Does that make sense?

MARK: Yes, it does.

KRIS: So you can utilize EFT or many other systems and modalities. You can utilize and ask and discuss with Joseph, utilizing hypnosis, however you wish to proceed with it, but to make a certain peace, to declare a truce within Self.

MARK: Even during your one Practice in Adventure, where we opened up the dungeon, I did [open the cell doors], but I was also fearful of retaliation because I had locked those aspects up for so long, I feared there would be retaliation. And again, there was another, more imagery of the same….. (Chuckling) Oh sure, it’s all coming back now! …Yeah, I gotta work on that one.

KRIS: You might benefit from also adding to that soup the issue of guilt. Do understand this is very important, especially when you come from a place of guilt or issues that are related to guilt, you must, unconsciously, find a way to atonement, through repentance of some kind, even if that includes punishment, often through self-sabotaging situations. To make up FOR. Do you follow?

MARK: Yes. (Softly) “Guilt, blame, heartache and shame. These are the footprints to the ears of all that haunts you.”

[Mark heard these words in a Bardo state over four years ago and made a post on Newworldview about it.]

KRIS: Indeed! And where did you hear that from but from your own inner Self.

MARK: Yep.

KRIS: Now, do you have any other comments? Or dare you?

MARK: Uh, no. (Laughing)

KRIS: Do keep in mind that the core of all this is meaningfulness. If you had not already a sense of being a meaningful being, you would not care to explore your own inner Self in this way. You would be content to go through life in very many different situations that might even prove devastating.

But you know instinctively that there is more to your lives than you dare even think about. As we said moments ago, you are bigger than life. Not the other way around. So when you wake up tomorrow morning, imagine even for a split second that today “I will explore the creations that exist in my unlimited Self. Today I will explore just how big I am in terms of my life.”

MYRNA: Kris, I have an interesting opportunity in front of me that I almost can’t catch my breath around. There has –

KRIS: You better catch it quick!

MYRNA: There’s an opportunity with the Federal government. There is a whole renewal process with the public service and someone who has connections very high up has become very interested in my work. I actually can barely catch my breath around this!

JOHN: Nice creating, sweetie!

MYRNA: (Agreeing) Nice creating! I’m aware….and this will help tonight…I’m aware of “Oh, my god, I’m going to blow this!” You know, and I don’t want to go there, I want to have fun with this, but I’m starting to feel like “Oh, I used to deal with projects like this all the time.” I don’t want to go there.

I want to feel Earth goddess around this. I’m just wondering if you could give me anything that will help me stay larger than life so I don’t doubt myself here, because it….this project goes back to allowing me to do something that is very dear to my heart and that’s creating spaces for the leader within everybody to come forward.

KRIS: Since that time you have accumulated a veritable storehouse of different kind of knowledge and wisdom and think how instrumental you could be to transform the lives of those individuals you would come in contact with in that situation, in that environment.

JOHN: Yeah, you’ve got a lot more to offer since you created that program.

KRIS: In so many words, you can kick ass like you have never before! So make certain that as an Earth goddess, your shoemaker can make a really big boot!

(Group laughter)

Because you need to leave a BIG footprint.

MYRNA: I would only like to do that because it would impact a lot of people’s lives for sure.

KRIS: (Bluntly) No.

MYRNA: (Laughing in surprise)

KRIS: You know you would love to do it because it would challenge your creativity.

MYRNA: That’s true! That’s true.

KRIS: And if you think about this a little bit, and you find you are drooling a little, simply napkin it up.

(Laughter)

Do it because you ENJOY doing it. You do not need US to give you permission to give yourself permission. You have that authority.

MYRNA: No, I need you to tell me…. (John and Mark laughs and Myrna continues, chuckling)…that I’m going to get this work and I’m going to be successful at it!

JOHN: That would take all the fun out of it! Where’s the challenge there?

MYRNA: I want to do this. I really want to do this.

KRIS: Go through the appropriate channels and make it a reality. The appropriate channel IS the goddess within you, first.

MYRNA: Oh, I got that. I got that.

KRIS: And then, the rest is, as they say, small fry.

MYRNA: I got that. The Lady of Avalon.

KRIS: When you walk in that meeting room, know only one thing: That YOU are the power in that room and that everyone else has merely to enjoy your energy. That is the only challenge you have. And it is quite all right to eat a piece of cake as well!

MYRNA: (Chuckling) I can barely even take in what you just said! Everybody is just to enjoy my energy?!?

KRIS: Indeed!

JOHN: YOU’RE the power in that room!

MYRNA: Well, this comes from a lot of love.

KRIS: Then as is often said, the only appropriate expression is “You go, girl! Go get your groove!” Stella got hers! (Kris is referring to the book [and movie] “How Stella Got Her Groove Back” by Terry McMillan.)

(Laughter)

MYRNA: All right well, can I dial you up as I’m walking in? (Still chuckling)

KRIS: It is best to dial up your Earth goddess connection.

MYRNA: Yeah.

KRIS: Again, when you walk in that room, sense that it is rumbling under your footsteps.

MARK: Remember the imagery of the ball. You’ve got that power in your hand.

MYRNA: I have to go back and look at that.

KRIS: In many ways you know you will do fine.

MYRNA: I think in many ways I do. I’m asking for….my buddies here and you…You, my buddies to….

MARK: Confirmation?

MYRNA: No, no…

JOHN: Support?

MYRNA: No…

JOHN: Send energy!

MYRNA: Yeah, yes, thank you.

KRIS: Indeed then, we are certain that your “homies” would enjoy it.

MYRNA: My what?

MARK: (Chuckling) Your “homies”.

MYRNA: (Laughing delightedly)

KRIS: When the sun arises over the horizon in the morning and begins to light up the world, to warm the Earth, to bring light, energy and food to all of creation, it does not all of a sudden wonder, “Oh dear! Am I giving enough sunlight? Is it possible that someone may not like or enjoy the sunlight and the warmth that I give? What if I am not a good enough sun? What would happen if….?” You get the picture.

MYRNA: (Laughing) What if my references aren’t good enough! Exactly! Oh, in some ways that’s ridiculous even….thinking about myself being a sun! I get it, I get it…

JOHN: (Humorously) No, you’re a daughter!

MYRNA: Kris, I’m actually I’m joking, but I’m not joking. I appreciate your metaphors, but truly for me to accept that I’m the sun walking into that room, that just blows my mind.

KRIS: Indeed the point is not to blow YOUR mind, but to blow theirs. Allow yourself simply to shine your wonderful being, knowing that you are presenting yourself as you are. This is you. No pretensions, nothing but self. You yourself said that you create solar systems, correct?

MYRNA: Yes, at some level I get that.

KRIS: That is the level you need to utilize. Before you walk in that door –

MYRNA: Yeah, what should I do before I walk in?

KRIS: … Turn your gaze inwardly, see the sun rising over the horizon. See yourself as Earth goddess, shining, and giving love and warmth and nourishment to her creations because that situation is your creation. Nourish it with your energies. And hold that image in your mind.

JOHN: Nice imagery.

KRIS: Enjoy the warmth of your heart, radiating outwardly. Being yourself, in very simple terms.

MYRNA: I just got it when you said I created that, because that’s where my strength is. I created that opportunity. Thank you.

KRIS: Indeed then. Any other comments, observations?

MARK: We were talking about EFT there earlier, and utilizing the language of the hard words, the ones that we truly don’t want to say, we dread saying. Is that helpful?

KRIS: We would suggest that only in as much as you want to be there. But not to force yourself simply because you think it will bring some pay-off. Does that make sense? Otherwise it becomes an exercise in…..inner conflict. When you sense that this is appropriate, go for it. If you sense, however, that you are being somewhat artificial, then refrain from using that mode. Does that make sense?

MARK: Yes, it does. Thank you.

KRIS: Other than that, go with your flow. Now then, we leave you to enjoy basking in the light of your Being, and most admittedly we will see you all very soon.

ALL: Thank you, Kris.

MARK: 9:35 PM on the Winter Solstice.

(Session Ends)

MARK’S FOOTNOTES:

Guilt, Blame, Heartache and Shame.
These are the footprints
To the Ears
Of all that haunts you.

Let’s pretend that someone is chasing you, but they can not see you. How do they follow you? Well, they could listen for the sound of your foot steps.

In my life, the biggest issues that I have are around guilt, blame, heartache and shame. These are the psychological footprints or foot falls that allow all that haunt me to track me down.

Back in 2002 or 2003, one morning, just before I woke up. I was neither asleep nor awake. I was in a state of Bardo. I heard the words: “These are the footprints to the ears of all that haunt you.”

I ponder them for a second or two then asked: “What is?”

The reply was: “Guilt, shame, heartache and blame. THESE are the footsteps to the ears of all that haunts you.”

December 19, 2006

Channeled by Serge J. Grandbois and Transcribed by Emmy (Atin Khum)
Recorded in Toronto, Canada on December 19, 2006

(Session begins.)

KRIS: Now then, we trust that you are comfortable.

TOM: Yes, hello Kris.

KRIS: And we thank you for your consideration.

TOM: Ok, thank you. Today’s questions are mostly on the dream state and different questions about dreaming. My first question would be: Why is reading so difficult in the dream state? Why do the letters seem to move around?

KRIS: Perhaps for a variety of reasons, one of which is that reading, as you know it, is entirely a physical reality manifestation in framework one. It became a kind of substitute for telepathic communications as well as a means to develop other complex areas of the human brain, activating yet different areas and centres of that brain, further developing your species.

Therefore, when you try to utilize that modality within the dream state you may effectively be superimposing a structure from physical consensus reality onto another vaster means of communication, in fact actively reducing the flow of information, perhaps even insisting that for some of the communication – it meet your expectations and usual patterns of communication, while it is trying instead to communicate in a different way with you. Does that make some sense?

TOM: Yes it does. I’m wondering… It seems less effective and should we instead of reading what is on the paper focus more on what is going on around us?

KRIS: In the dream state what you may be able to develop is focusing more upon the feelings that come to you during those times. It is easier within the dream state to experience directly through feeling states. And from there you may be able to extrapolate the information – the communication – directly instead of by passing that system and insisting instead that it meet the criteria that you are accustomed to while focused in physical reality. Thus by noticing and concentrating on the feelings that come to you during those specific moments, you may be more readily able to open a direct communication.

TOM: Ok. I’ve noticed that’s the case sometimes when I’m interacting with people and talking and I’ll see something and I just get a feeling and there’s a whole story behind that feeling. What things where like for this culture…

KRIS: Indeed. That is quite correct. Now, in dreams at times you are bound to encounter situations where there are characters and letters and forms and shapes that seek to capture your attention. Some of these are – in their own way – an entirely different kind of communication – they are called tiles. And notice that they may indeed be shaped in a very particular fashion.

In those situations there may be patterns designs shapes created within the tile and some may indeed be animated. And here in the dream state you may be able to direct your actions to quasi physically – to reach out with your dream hand and actually touch that tile – that shape. And from that literally osmose a different kind of communication altogether that would bypass even the representations of your physical senses within your dream body and directly interact with conceptual energy, the dynamic processes of your personality in that layer. These are an entirely different kind of communication altogether.

TOM: Would I be able to formulate a story from it then – afterwards?

KRIS: In actuality, the tile will tell you the story – you would be able to osmose it.

TOM: Ok wow!

KRIS: If you wish, Jane Roberts’ Oversoul 7 books speak about tiles. Elias also speaks about tiles at some point in the past. We have barely ever discussed these accept on a few occasions over the last two years. However, it does not mean that the material – the tiles are not informative. But if you do focus upon those representations in the dream states, you are bound to encounter them.

Basically, they are an ultra condensed compacted circuit of data that contains multitudes of experiences within its small structure. And upon touching the tile various amounts of data transfers can occur, being absorbed directly through the body and the body energies itself, into consciousness where you can begin to experience the story of the tile. The tiles themselves are communications from a different level of Essence.

TOM: Oh, not the level that we would normally be communicating with, when we are working out our issues?

KRIS: That is correct. In those states and dream states where tiles are perceived, it is indeed deeper then R.E.M. sleep. And in those states, though sciences do not and cannot recognise that there is dream activity beyond R.E.M. sleep – there is. And in those dream states the normal paradigms of the ego construction are truly suspended and communications of a deeper nature can be had. Not necessarily in its pure form, because there is not necessarily anything as pure form. Everything is a transformation of something else and even that what would be considered the first would itself be a translation of something else.

TOM: So it may be slightly distorted.

KRIS: And that is fine. There are two types of distortions, those that are deliberate and those that occur naturally through transference of different layers of consciousness. Thus no Essence can truly give pure information. No Essence can truly claim to be delivering the least distorted amount of information, because immediately upon entering human consciousness perceptions and the consensus reality, there are bound to be distortions through various belief systems. Thus, even if there is a mild naturally occurring distortion, it should not ever be a problem or considered that it is now become tainted or inferior information.

TOM: No, I would never think that.

KRIS: But it may tell you that your own transformative energies have adapted the information for your immediate needs or even long-term needs, anticipated before you consciously become aware.

TOM: I was going to ask about the nature of this type of information, is it to assist in our goals of enlightenment?

KRIS: It actually exist in many ways to remind you that you are more then a physical human being and that there are more dimensions to your SELF in capital letters, than you care to shake a stick at. Thus when you travel into and delve into those other layers of the persona and even of reality, it could be said that each one is a translation of another. And this is part of your perceptive mechanisms and that enables you to grow in awareness – to use that set of words – as you begin to recognise the sheer magnitude of Selfhood.

TOM: The question that I would have then is: these tiles may not just reach out to people. Do we need to have stated an intent in order to experience them – from our conscious level before we go to sleep?

KRIS: Indeed. Now some people may rarely or occasionally encounter these kinds of symbols in their own dream states but they may not necessarily recognise them for what they are and simply perceive them to be other objects within the dream states and little else. But if you do encounter something similar, all you need do is, and this may require a small amount of adaptation for yourself, training, to recognise that you can utilize your hands first to pass it over such a tile and you would be able to detect then if it is active – in terms of energy – or inert.

If it is inert – not giving of any energy pulses – then it may simply mean that it is not for you to perceive at this time or that it is not a tile. But if you do pass your hand slowly over a tile and feel that energy flow, then this is for you to gently prepare and touch. And as soon as you do then the information will begin downloading into your consciousness. And it too will be extremely compressed, later to be sorted out by your own consciousness and deciphered into material and information you can utilise. Does that make sense to you?

TOM: Yes it does. That is quite fascinating. As far as stating the intent I notice that sometimes my suggestions – before going to sleep – they don’t always work 100 percent of the time. But I’ve found that if I give a suggestion in a meditative state before going to sleep, I get really good results. And I’ve found that I’ve had a conversation going – asking questions of Self and then having a dream that answers the question and if I have more questions I go back and ask again – into the deep meditative state, going down the ten stairs. Is that a better way to…

KRIS: For you it may indeed be very effective. When you enter the deeper states of relaxation you are indeed in a state of hypnoses. And in that state the usual critical functions of the brain are not necessarily bypassed but momentarily distracted. And it is not as if you are fooling yourself or your conscious mind, because the conscious mind and the ego know exactly what you are doing. But entering those deep states of relaxation and hypnoses, the conscious mind enjoys the relaxation (and) therefore seemingly allows you to proceed. And the more you practise the better you become at it.

TOM: Now, there is also the concept of… in the dream state when I state my intent. I believe there is an energy that I should focus on or feeling tone or something… for instance – to request to go to Ht’ Ptah. I believe that’s one of the things that I can do – focus on the feeling tone rather then just stating words. I’m wondering is there an easy way to conjure up that feeling tone? I’ve experience it once, I think with a little bit of help (from a dream teacher). Those strong feeling tones where you actually just create it right there, I’m not very good at creating those. Can you recommend anything?

KRIS: Practise.

TOM: Ok.

KRIS: Even if you are not thinking – or rather you are thinking you are not in tune with that feeling tone, pretend that you are. And recall the previous experience or experiences you have had in line with the desired result and proceed from there.

TOM: Ok, so I just imagine that instance in my mind.

KRIS: Simply bring up the recall of other times when you experience this feeling (or deepening), in line with recreating at least a part of the experience for yourself.

TOM: When I haven’t done that, say for instance with tiles, I’ve never experienced the tiles. Would it be possible for me to create the feeling tones with the tiles without someone showing me what that feeling tone is? Or going there first and then knowing what it is?

KRIS: You might simply request with your intent that you will encounter these in your dream states. And once you remember that this is a tile or review the dream and notice that there was a tile in it, then you may approach that object and actually focus on the feeling tone and the energy flow from it – ingraining it into your awareness. So all you need do is recall that feeling tone from that experience to start or kick-start the process once again.

TOM: That’s while I’m lucid in the dream and perhaps I can even state that in the meditative state right before I go to sleep at night?

KRIS: That is correct. Be creative with your abilities

TOM: Ok, I’ll give that a try. And if it works out I’ll be writing about it on the forum, let people know about that. Another question comes up here, the great hall of Ht’ Ptah and projections of Ht’ Ptah, I’m wondering is Jane’s psychic library (Jane Roberts) the same as the great hall of Ht’ Ptah and if somebody finds themselves in a bookstore and sits down and starts looking at a single book, is that also a projection of the great hall of Ht’ Ptah?

KRIS: An individual who finds himself or herself in a library-like situation is actually engaging the deeper storehouse of knowledge and wisdom that is contained within their inner Self. Each individual indeed contains or has, say an internal mirror side of this, thus they can access information through their inner Self. That is directly related to the hall – it is indeed a massive inter-dimensional area where consciousness is experienced in a different fashion.

You may experience it as a great hall of records in one form or another. Someone may in their own fashion interpret it as the great hall of Akashic records. They will perceive it from their belief systems. Even that what you experience through lucid or other states again is a reflection of a deeper area of the collective unconscious and deeper still. Does that make sense to you?

TOM: Yes, would my experience then be in line with what I was expecting to see, something very massive and more of a museum then a library?

KRIS: Not necessarily what you were expecting to see, but your own consciousness interpreted that energy pattern in terms that were at once familiar to you and in terms that would convey the information in terms that are easy. Does that make sense to you?

TOM: Yes, so another might have stumbled upon the same thing and saw something different. They wouldn’t necessarily be flying through the hallways looking at…

KRIS: Now they would not necessarily find themselves at old McDonald’s farm, but they would find themselves in an area that reflects much of your experience but in their own way. It might even come with a librarian or a curator. But one way or another it will define to a certain degree some of the previous references of your situation, different references that are experiences within you and configure the energy to be somewhat recognisable. So the references that you hold even deeply imbedded in the unconscious, will serve then as a framework within which that energy pattern makes sense so that you can detect it.

Now this does not mean it is a less valid experience, on the contrary, you may yourself therefore – in recognising this – ask that you experience this place more as it is, up to the degree that you are able to interpret it. But you must have some kind of references otherwise if you did not, you would not recognise that particular place. Does that make sense?

TOM: Yes it does.

KRIS: And if you cannot recognise and interpret it then it serves you no purpose.

TOM: Should I be getting the same experience each time I go there? Normally, in terms of time it seems to takes five seconds to get there and everything turns black and there is a different feeling to the atmosphere. I know that I’m there when I’m there, and there are some landmarks etc. But I’ve only been there [that way] twice and every time I try, I project a few feet forward and then I just stop. The other time I did that – just a week or so ago – I said to myself: “Who is to say that I’m not at Ht’ Ptah right now?” I walked around (there) and I found this other culture and had a very nice exchange (with them) and I learned a lot about their world, so to speak. I’m wondering: is that a projection of Ht’ Ptah? Or… it just doesn’t feel the same to me and I was wondering is that just another area of consciousness or is that actually a projection because I was learning something about another culture?

KRIS: We believe that it is still within that energy scheme. But if you were to walk in a large hall or home that contains many rooms many layers, then you go from room to room and floor to floor you are bound to notice that there are different feelings that arise in different areas of the hall or museum, but overall you might still feel that generally the contours of the energy itself are quite recognisable. So there may be very little need for you to concern yourself whether you are there or not.

Now another thing, even though you might feel that there is a period of travelling within a certain kind of darkness, that may be interpreted as a symbol that indicates to you that you are literally shifting from one state of awareness into another, enabling you to make specific marker, a bardo state if you will, between one state of consciousness and another. Someone that is much more adept at your experiences would even be able to access the area known as bardo, the in-between state. Between A and B might contain a whole string of A’s that eventually start turning into small B’s until you get to the B in the alphabet and all variations within those two extremities. Does that make sense to you?

TOM: So there are different stopping points or tuning in points in that in between state?

KRIS: Indeed. If you were in ancient roman times, perhaps you were an Asia Minor or from Greece or from Egypt or from Gaul or Britannia or Iberia, you would be able to take any mayor roadway and eventually end in Rome.

TOM: Ok.

KRIS: When it is said that all roads lead to Rome, the Romans were not being facetious. They actually build roads from various parts of their territories which was quite extensive – that lead to Rome. However, knowing that all of these roads can still lead to Rome, if you begin your journey in Asia Minor it will have a very different atmosphere then if you began in Iberia or Britannia or Gaul or any other place. Does that make sense?

TOM: Yes.

KRIS: So similarly there may be very different kinds of launching points towards the hall and along the way you might learn many different things.

TOM: Ok, so it is possible to visit other dimensions and understand the culture there, without that having anything to do with Ht’ Ptah – I mean it is just travel.

KRIS: Indeed. Do keep in mind that even though you might be able to reach other dimensions, you still need to interpret – translate the energies of those other areas in terms that make sense to you. Otherwise you would not even recognise that there is something in this particular area of consciousness. Does that make sense as well?

TOM: Yes.

KRIS: Even if you seem to arrive at a place where it seems there is nothing and yet your senses – inner senses, that good old fashioned radar – seems to let you know that there should be something significant here, but there appears to be nothing. You might take that to mean that you have very little references to actually translate the energy of those areas into something useful and recognisable to you. In such situations you simply continue your way.

TOM: Ok. I’ve noticed that there are different methods for… I’ve been doing the head tilt exercise that you had thought me – I actually did that in the dream state. I’m seeing other things in the dream state that allow me to stay lucid longer. I was walking and had a cup of dream coffee appear, a root with some water in it and I swooshed it around and drank it down and I stayed in the dream state longer. I think others have talked about little energy tablets that show up and allow them to stay lucid longer. Is this just a kind of energy that we can take advantage of to stay there longer?

KRIS: Indeed, it is provided by yourself in order to help you concentrate and keep your concentration in those areas slightly longer. Not unlike whilst in a trance state Joseph can slowly sip a small glass of wine. That actually enables the trance state to deepen and widen thus giving us even more access. Does that make sense as well?

TOM: Yes, a physical counterpart…

KRIS: Do note those small gifts or offerings you give to yourself, whether a dream espresso or otherwise. And there may be times where you could then simply conjure one up when it is needed. And this might indeed give you added advantage to prolong those lucid states.

TOM: Yes, I also had a question… I’m getting into the habit – I don’t know if it is a good habit or not but it seems to be working out – of asking the inhabitants of (the) area I’m visiting the name of their planet, and then I also ask how many suns they have so that I can record it and then maybe post the lucid dream to have a reference, know this is the name of the place etc. Is that ok to do that?

KRIS: As long as the individuals in those areas are able to recognise you.

TOM: Yes they are.

KRIS: Then, there are no difficulties.

TOM: Also, I have a question on projecting to specific geographic locations on this planet, in this dimension, in this probability. Is that possible to do in the dream state to actually visit somebody else we know and then have a remembrance of it?

KRIS: Indeed. It is in fact very common.

TOM: Ok. You have had mentioned that back in July, in my session, that there are dream projections in Hawaii. Is there any danger of not returning to the bedroom when you are in this lucid state?

KRIS: None. You have your basic survival instinct that would kick in would you be in any danger. You may even offer yourself a very nice suggestion that if there is something disturbing whilst you are in a lucid state, something disturbing in your physical environment you would be immediately alerted and able to deal with the situation.

TOM: Ok, I did have a situation where something seemed kind of large and creepy in front of me in my lucid dream and I felt something from behind me pull me back away from this energy or whatever it was. I’m wondering if that was my inner Self that did that?

KRIS: Indeed.

TOM: or that my ego would have done that.

KRIS: And it would be good for you to note what this big thing represents.

TOM: Ok, could you tell me? [Laughs]

KRIS: It is your energy or at least energies that you may have discounted or pushed away from yourself at a certain point in time – it could even be decades ago.

TOM: I felt that a little bit, that I was trying to utilize energy and perhaps that wasn’t the right thing at the moment.

KRIS: Indeed and do notice your specific reference to a big blocking thing do you remember?

TOM: Um, the blocking thing? It felt a little bit scary that’s what I remember about it kind of like a bug crawling on your back would feel kind of creepy. Where you specifically referencing an issue?

KRIS: Indeed, what that issue is may be for you to determine, but sensing that energy in the state as literally something that blocks you, blocks your path, may indeed try to indicate to you that you have set up a blockage. And it may even contain something you turned your back on – a situation that may even have to do with your own emotional energies. Perhaps a situation you refused to deal with from your past. And thinking you shoved it away, buried it in your unconscious. But now that you are travelling in that area, perhaps the very energy blockage you literally threw down the basement stairs and close the door on, needs to be liberated.

TOM: Hmm and it would be a good idea for me then to go into the meditative state each night refocus on that dream and going to a door and ask questions [like] what does this mean?

KRIS: Even that you may be able to recall the incident and whilst you are recalling it utilize E.F.T.

TOM: Ok. E.F.T.

KRIS: Indeed.

TOM: What would the set-up phrase be? Even though I don’t know what this blockage is I accept it?

KRIS: That is correct, you might even describe some of the sensations that you experienced. Even though you are not certain of the nature of this blockage or this energy, and that you felt perhaps slightly fearful of it, you still choose to deeply and completely accept all of your self.

TOM: Ok. I’ll do that and I’ll work on that I’ve seem to be getting good result stating the request I’m going to try it with the EFT also. And I would imagine that answers are going to come to me in the dream state the following evening.

KRIS: And they may also pop into your awareness when you least expect it to, even from the waking state.

TOM: Yes, in the daytime.

KRIS: It simply requires a small bit of your time to pay attention to the signals that you will be receiving.

TOM: Ok, a question about dream environments. The majority of the time (when) I find myself in dream classrooms, I usually visualise it as a cave, an underground cave. I’m wondering is that something specific that I do, or is it something specific that the teacher prefers to teach in that environment or would everybody see the environment differently?

KRIS: Perhaps a little bit of each. However, generally you would project an energetic display in line with the area that you are exploring and in these cases you are exploring and learning about and deepening your wisdom concerning certain dynamics of the sub or unconscious. And since it is generally agreed upon that the unconscious or subconscious is somehow or other underneath the layer of regular conscious awareness, might simply be an interpretation on your part, underneath, underground. Do you follow?

TOM: Yes.

KRIS: And there is nothing wrong with those kinds of projections. They are a different learning environment then others you may travel to.

TOM: Then also the dream environment the molecules that form the dream environment – I believe Seth said that they were the exact same molecules that are around us in our bedroom?

KRIS: That is correct. They have different capacities depending upon the environment. But they are all units of consciousness; some adapt themselves to specific environments.

TOM: On dream interpretation, a few of us have noticed that when we share our dreams with each other, when we have another person in our dream and tell them about it. They are able to interpret our dream and what we saw them doing in our dream – the same as when they would interpret their own dream and learn something from that. Do dreams work that way where we can all have dreams and go: “I’m blocking something and I don’t want to see it in my dream”. Will somebody else perhaps in the group have a dream and call me and tell me “This is what you were doing in (my) dream” – because perhaps I would block that information and the other person would have no reason to block it and would see it more clearly?

KRIS: That is a distinct possibility. And there are other occasions where they would interpret your experience from the dream state as something highly relevant to themselves if that be the case. And then there are the kinds of dreams, dreams where many of you come together and as the old sayings goes: birds of the feather stick together.

There are other individuals that you may not know anything about and that may come from different corners of the planet. Who may be experiencing or going through experiences similar to or slightly similar to or perhaps even less – to your experiences, though perhaps your experiences might be similar to theirs vice versa. There is no specific order in that way, but they would come together with a similar intent. Thus you would experience a group dream. Very often group dreams occur in stadiums in forums large halls schools etc. large gathering halls because all these people are projection into that specific experience, because they need to benefit from the discourse and the engagement occurring in those layers.

TOM: Ok. That makes sense. If I wanted to attend a Toronto session but not fly there, is it literally possible for me to do that in the dream state and to ring the doorbell over there and come in and be recorded on the session and then after the session, leave and wake up back in my bed?

KRIS: If you are in the dream state there is no need for you to ring the doorbell.

TOM: Ok, I will just walk through the door hopefully nobody gets angry with me. [Laughs]

KRIS: Now others may not perceive you, but you may perceive them and thus later on communicate that these things were part of your experiences. Perhaps you saw someone do this or that or speak about this or that and write it as clearly as possible and then communicate that information through regular channels. You may be completely inaccurate partially accurate very accurate it is not the point. The point is that you’ve had an experience and it may be only relevant to you even though you may have shared it with others – but only relevant to you. Or you may actually have in the classic sense of the word, experienced it along with others. Either way it has its own validity and it is perfectly acceptable.

TOM: Ok. I’m also wondering about when we record our dreams. It has been mentioned to me that it is more beneficial to write it in terms of the present rather then write it as it though it has occurred in the past?

KRIS: All depending upon the occurrences within the dreams. If in the dream state you found yourself in a scenario that depicts say Elizabethan times with Queen Elisabeth the first, then you write in that tense but you may make your observations in the present tense.

TOM: I thought for maybe dreams…well I’ve been doing that because it seems to help me to see everything in the now as apposed to my life having a past and a future. I’m starting to realise that everything is happening right now.

KRIS: That is correct.

TOM: There is a congruency that can be had by just stepping aside yourself and realising that no point of yourself is that much further away then any other point… Since I’ve been starting writing in the present tense, it seems to have solidified that for me.

KRIS: It may indeed emphasise it that much more. Follow that which seems right to you. You need not take everything we say in that manner.

TOM: Ok.

KRIS: You are even able to add a grain of salt once in a while.

TOM: Ok. [Laughs] Seasoning. I guess there is one other question here… I have noticed that I have never to my recollection walked forward through a door a window or anything like that. And the question comes from somebody else – jumping through closed windows or shutters [in the dream state] does that upset the ego? And it is better to check with your hand first before jumping through solid objects in the dream state or solid appearing objects in the dream state?

KRIS: Indeed not.

TOM: No negative side effects?

KRIS: Indeed not. In fact the ego might even relish the idea that it can do far more in that environment than it can in the physically focused area. And if you have not noticed yourself doing any of these things do not despair – simply pay attention. It does indeed reflect the state of your beliefs, so you may indeed believe that it is simply not possible to do this even though you have read it about others doing this. Notice that there may be many times where you are in one room of a house, you wish to go to another room and you are there. Now that would also be a very good trick would it not? Without actually having to walk between point A and point B, you are simply there.

TOM: A kind of projecting.

KRIS: Indeed, you are simply changing the environment; you are moving atoms, molecules, and consciousness to reflect the frame of your inner state.

TOM: Ok, it looks like that’s all the questions that I have for today. Anything else you would like to comment on?

KRIS: Not at this point, but we do want to encourage you to continue your endeavours. They have already begun to transform what you think about reality. Do pursue your objectives.

TOM: Ok I’ll do that…

KRIS: And we trust that you are keeping as meticulous notes as possible on those experiences.

TOM: Yes, I’m on my third notebook on the dreams and I do occasionally write about the real life events also.

KRIS: Indeed, simply because there is a potential for you to do something with all this information in a future state.

TOM: In a future state… [Curiosity sounds through his voice]

KRIS: Or future time and specifically in terms of some kind of writing or book.

TOM: Oh! That would be great!

KRIS: Indeed, something about a dream traveller.

TOM: I look forward to that! Thank you Kris!

KRIS: Now before you can read the book you have to create it.

TOM: Okay. [Laughing] I would very much enjoy that.

KRIS: Therefore, we thank you once again for your consideration. Do dream up for yourself lovely holidays. If you see Rudolf and Santa in your dream state you may say hello.

TOM: I’ll do that!

KRIS: And in the meantime enjoy yourself.

TOM: Thank you Kris.

KRIS: Indeed we will return Joseph to you.

(Session ends.)

The Appreciation Game

December 17, 2006

Channeled by Serge J. Grandbois and Transcribed by Ellen Gilbert (Kwaa’Ji)
Recorded in Toronto, Canada on December 17, 2006

Roll Call: Serge (Joseph), Mark (Philip), John (Sohars), Louise, Joshua K., Ellen (Kwaa’Ji), Brian (El-Don), Lisa (Lauramar), Paul (Janaki), Jo (Rosalie), Gordon, Tom (Desire), and Odette

(7:46 PM)

KRIS: Indeed, we trust that you are all comfortable and we thank you for your lovely consideration. In pursuit of meaningfulness we would like to take a slightly different perspective with this evening’s material. You are all very accustomed and very learned in the art of finding all sorts and everything that you consider wrong with yourselves. All sorts of things that you dislike, discount, and wish to put out of yourselves.

Some even concentrate upon this as if it is the only thing that can possibly matter to the exclusion of everything else. We would like therefore, on this lovely and almost balmy late December evening, to rub it in ever so lightly, approach that subject matter from a different vantage point and to ask you all what kinds of things do you like, do you appreciate and even love within yourselves, within and about yourselves?

Not the things that you do, but those specific qualities that make you who you are, make you the endearing selves that you are. Now we are certain to some degree that if we asked you what are those things that you dislike or hate the most within yourselves, you would quickly scribble down lengthy tomes of these qualities, but what about those things that you like, appreciate and love about yourselves? How short is that list going to be? Or how long dare you make it?

Perhaps this can be one of those nice evenings where the lines are open [and] everyone is very civil about asking and responding to questions.

MARK: The lines are open.

[Some adjustments are made in the sound quality after Odette mentions that she had difficulty hearing Kris.]

KRIS: Now then, back to our original question: How short or long a list are you ready to make about the things you like, appreciate and even love about yourselves as opposed to those long, interminable lists of the things you dislike, discount, and wish to negate from your existence? (Silent pause) Have we stumped one and all?

(Group chuckles)

BRIAN: Okay, Kris, this is Brian. About a year and a half ago, Jo – Rosalie – on Newworldview posted a topic called “Appreciation” — “I Appreciate Myself” — well, in the last year I’m up to 101 things I appreciate about myself! Thank you Jo!

JO: (Chuckling) Your welcome and thanks for the plug! This is Jo – Rosalie – and I just want to add on to that, when I think about it I can think of a lot of positive things, things that I appreciate about myself, but those aren’t the things I remember most of the time. I tend to focus on the other ones.

KRIS: Indeed. That is why we decided then to broach the topic in such a lovely and gentle manner, in order to encourage you all to actually put those things that you like and appreciate on the front burner, instead of somewhere on the far back burner on simmer only. So bring those items up to the front burner and put the burner on high. Allow some of these things to shine forth brilliantly, effervescently, and effortlessly to the forefront of your consciousness.

How many of you DARE even to be effervescent about those appreciated qualities within yourselves? Or do you think that perhaps best keep those under lock and key and under rock, lest someone think you are up to something no good, daring to be appreciative of your own qualities and not constantly put yourselves down.

Thus, an introspective examination of even the smallest iota of a quality about your personal nature that you would even dare appreciate what would some of those qualities be? And again, we do wish to stress, those are not the things that you DO, but the things that you are. Who would DARE speak first?

MARK: I’ll go.

BRIAN: I would!

ELLEN: (Laughing. I’d been watching Brian chomping at the bit to express his self-appreciation from the moment Kris introduced the topic.)

BRIAN: I would, because I have a great sense of humor, when I play on stage I make a lot of people laugh and entertain a lot of people and I think it’s quite a gift to be able to give that kind of love to so many people. So I would say my humor, my kindness, my caring and my genuineness.

KRIS: Indeed. Perhaps others would like to share?

MARK: I’ll go. It’s funny because I started compiling my list this morning, not knowing the topic [for tonight], but I find my biggest is COMPASSION, my qualities of listening and helping others and trying to help.

KRIS: Indeed.

MARK: To assist, I guess, is a better word.

KRIS: Anyone else?

ELLEN: I like my ability to find my inner strength in adverse times.

KRIS: Indeed.

JO: I would go with my compassion and my imagination and my sense of humor. Those are probably my big three.

JOHN: I like my ability to put disparate ideas together. The way I think of it is, I like being able to put two and two together and get twenty-two!

(Group laughter)

BRIAN: You go, Coach! (Brian and John have been doing EFT work together by phone, playing around and making innovations in the process and Brian has been affectionately referring to John as “Coach Hawkins.”

ELLEN: Good one, John! I like my ability to get along with a variety of people and see the good in other people.

(Several affirmations)

ODETTE: I like my capacity to help people and see the difference I make.

KRIS: Indeed. There are still more people who have not spoken up!

TOM: This is Tom in Hawaii. I like my ability to understand others and to express myself clearly.

ELLEN: Very good, Tom. Very true.

LISA: This is Lisa. I like my compassion for others, my…..and I guess my appreciation for others.

LOUISE: I appreciate my appreciation for things, especially music.

BRIAN: Hear, hear! I appreciate being a teacher, when I teach guitar. I love the result.

ELLEN: You appreciate your musical ability.

BRIAN: I appreciate my musical ability!

ELLEN: I appreciate my artistic ability.

JO: (Chuckling) I appreciate your artistic ability too!

ELLEN: Thank you Jo!

BRIAN: (Humorously) Uh, she said that about me, excuse me.

ELLEN: (Laughing uproariously) Bite me!

(Group laughs)

BRIAN: You wanted fun!

ELLEN: (To the group) Sorry! Excuse us!

BRIAN: Aw, I appreciate not apologizing for having fun!

ELLEN: [Shaking my head and laughing at the incorrigible Brian] That’s right.

KRIS: Now then, indeed a very nice and humble beginning. We would suggest to each and every one of you that if and where and when possible, perhaps even on a daily basis, write down one thing about yourself that you appreciate, that you like and that you love.

You may even make a weekly chart and on each day write down one thing, not the same thing each day. You cannot cheat! One thing every day! A different thing that you discover as appreciating, liking or loving about yourself and at the end of the week, examine these seven items that you have written down and during the week, make a concerted effort to contemplate, meditate upon and enjoy that specific quality that you have written down, that you have found and written down and perhaps even imagine.

And if you have to even pretend that you are able to find different ways to express that quality during that day, make it a small but meaningful challenge for yourself that you would find various ways in which you can express and display this lovely quality that you appreciate, that you discover, whether it is ONLY with yourself or with other people you interact with during the day, even strangers.

And PAY ATTENTION to what begins to occur in your consciousness and in your bodies. And at the end of the week, reflect on this as well and you may easily notice that at the same time you have spent far less time pondering those aspects of yourselves that you find a thorn in your side, a pain in the neck, or anywhere else that may or may not be anatomically and politically correct to express!

(Chuckling)

And notice that the more you cultivate that sense of appreciation, the less time you spend in other areas that you find more difficult to deal with. And quite possibly, after only a few weeks of doing this small practice, this small yoga, you may indeed begin to notice a BIG thing within you, a big change, that somehow or other, you are perhaps feeling lighter, perhaps even more joyous, friendlier, even more compassionate, all towards yourself, and then in such a manner that you can express with others. And what kind of momentum do you think you are building in such a case? (Silent pause) You do not know?

JOHN: Well, we could get to the point where we only think about the good stuff!

ELLEN: Momentum to carry us into self-appreciation.

BRIAN: Well, we’d become quite addicted to always keep having fun.

KRIS: But then this is an addiction that you can greatly relish and do more of without the least fear of reprisal or guilt, correct?

(Yes)

Just as despair can quickly ruin an individual’s spirit, so can these small discoveries of appreciation not only repair that individual’s fate, but lift it well beyond its accustomed path, even create an entirely different life. And how much time could such an exercise possibly consume during the day? Two minutes? Three minutes perhaps? At the end of the week it may be added up to perhaps 15 minutes more or less? At the end of the month perhaps an entire hour. Such a small investment for such a stupendous, memorable, and sweet, lovely outcome!

Consider the opposite: How much time during the day do you spend berating and beating yourselves up, putting yourselves down? And up and down you go as if you are in a spinning washing machine, constantly battering yourselves hours or more every day and then you wonder what is happening with your lives. “WHY is this happening to me? Why am I an apparent victim of events and circumstances?”

But if you had been paying attention, you would know the answer and recognize that there are no forces other than what you entertain in your minds, responsible for the outcomes in your lives. And if you instill the opposite, just a few moments in a day to discover a quality you appreciate can have an outcome that far outstrips and outruns the momentum of everything you have been doing in the opposite. Thus, if we had a gauntlet, we would surely strike you with it and throw it at your feet and dare you to pick it up! (Pause.)

[John begins to ask a question.]

Indeed, please speak up.

JOHN: I have question, Kris. I remember watching the movie, “The Secret,” and they said something rather provocative. The idea is that a single positive thought is equal to a hundred negative thoughts. Is there any truth in that?

KRIS: Perhaps the numbers are merely representative and symbolic of the different outcomes and even inputs of energy that you assign to yourselves. When you feed yourselves so-called negative states of awareness, of mind, you expend vast amounts of energy, often in a direction opposite to your own nature. But when you do spend a moment or two discovering and appreciating various aspects of who and what you are, you spend far less energy and the outcome is hundreds of times easier to manifest. Does that make sense?

JOHN: Yes, thank you very much. That actually makes perfect sense, so negative thoughts are going against the grain, whereas positive thoughts are releasing the pent-up natural flow, so of course they’re going to ultimately have a more powerful effect.

MARK: Allowing and opposing.

KRIS: And do understand that by themselves thoughts are merely thoughts. They are neither negative nor positive, but you assign specific charges or energies to what you then call negative thoughts. But by moving towards an area where your energies are so effortlessly conjured, so magically brought up to your awareness, and so magnificently expressed and manifested through your Being, you are literally a different individual.

And when you put yourselves in that position, what you may refer to as Source energy, your Essence, etc. is able that much more to literally shine through where you are not pushing back your own energies, but instead allowing the flow to proceed, to fill the atoms and molecules of time and space through the interventions and interpretations of your own belief systems, all of which are aligned with being congruent, with being in the moment, with being filled with awareness.

And along with these things indeed do come many wonderful displays of your passionate nature as creating beings. You are not only created, but you are creating beings. For out of those miniscule apertures, whether of joy or any other item that you appreciate within yourself, come the true strength of the civilizations, of the nations, of the cultures and individualities that you are, because the universe can only be what you assign to it.

Thus if you get stuck in the quagmire of your discounting, what do you think the universe is going to be but a place where at every turn, everything that you suppress in your Being also strikes at you because it is what you are commanding. So what do you imagine would occur then to the universe if instead you apply some of these small moments of appreciation, put them into practice, and as you stand back and watch the universe recreated along those blueprints, what kind of a universe would you have?

And we are not advocating a Pollyanna-like state of awareness where you deliberately parrot that everything is nice, but where everything actually IS a delightful experience. Because that is what you are establishing as the blueprint for the manifestation of YOUR reality, is your universe. So it is but a small and extremely humble, or at least humble request from ourselves to you. Now what is the time?

MARK: 8:20.

KRIS: Then perhaps we can suggest a small break where each of you ponder yet more things. THINK. Use this gray matter within your skulls. Use your wonderful creative abilities to discover perhaps during the break something else entirely different that you appreciate about yourselves.

ELLEN: (Jokingly) I appreciate the gray matter in my skull.

(Break at 8:20. Kris returns at 8:27 PM)

KRIS: Indeed now that you can hear better….?

[The sound quality is greatly improved.]

ELLEN: That’s excellent.

KRIS: Then we take it that you have had plenty of time to ponder another beautiful quality of yourselves for what is so quickly forgotten.

MARK: Are we supposed to go around the room again?

KRIS: Indeed! We would appreciate that you appreciate yourselves!

MARK: I’m going to start with my intuitiveness. I’m just discovering this now and I’m very proud of it…..Next.

JOSHUA K.: I like the way I enjoy and love Nature.

KRIS: Indeed.

(Long pause)….Certainly more of you have thought up something else you appreciate?

PAUL: I would say my walks. The experience of walking is magnificent, the smells, the sights and the feeling of walking. Magnificent. My ability to walk is what I appreciate.

JOHN: Along the same lines, I really, really appreciate my sexuality. It’s soooo yummy!

MARK: Lisa, what were you going to say?

LISA: I was going to say my patience and my generosity.

TOM: I appreciate my smile even though I don’t show it very often.

MARK: Good one!

LISA: We can hear it!

ELLEN: I appreciate my ability to make people laugh and knowing that people are attracted to me…..And I appreciate my love for wildlife, all animals.

KRIS: Surely there is more still from others? We are certain you do not have to squeeze out the very last thought from your mind to discover there are still qualities within yourselves that you appreciate?

BRIAN: I appreciate my imagination. And I appreciate of course, my sense of humor.

MARK: You said that one.

BRIAN: Yeah, I did say that one didn’t I? I appreciate my hobby, my love of the railroad.

MARK: I appreciate my curiosity.

BRIAN: I appreciate my expansion……of awareness.

MARK: (Humorously) Good thing you clarified that!

BRIAN: (Laughing)

ELLEN: I appreciate my ability to create what I want.

KRIS: As you all have noticed, it is not extraordinarily difficult to discover some small quality about yourself that you appreciate and we believe it will actually be very easy to find one a day for a week, perhaps for two, three or four weeks time. Ponder, meditate on that quality each day and find ingenious, creative and inventive ways to express it.

Even if towards no one else but your lovely self and see how your world, your perspective, your reality, and your universe begins very subtle, and perhaps even not so subtle, transformation to start reflecting and manifesting your state of consciousness. And what better holiday gift can you give yourselves than this? What better way to start a new year than appreciation?

Lately also many of you have been asking about and speaking about EFT. And indeed, it is a wonderful complement to our Triple ‘A’. It is a wonderful tool to begin working with many of those issues that seem to be an impediment to your wholeness, to your well-being.

And now what if you could utilize the same EFT process but change the set-up phrase to reflect that newly discovered daily appreciation? And it could be something as easy as: “As I discover _____, I appreciate and accept myself deeply and completely,” and go through the EFT process and see what comes up in your moment and in your experience.

MARK: I started playing with that this morning with going through the transcript that Ellen just sent me [December 10, 2006: "Joy" session] on the seeds, the “joy” seeds, planting the seeds, sowing the seeds and watering them and nurturing them. And today, out of the blue, I started EFT-ing that, saying “I choose to nurture and plant these seeds, daily, hourly, weekly, monthly,” and I did the taps through the body, and I really enjoyed that.

KRIS: Indeed. So now you have an alternative EFT practice.

BRIAN: Kris, could we also add in there, “I appreciate and ALLOW myself to accept myself”? John and I have been bandying about that word “allowance,” how it opens up such a floodgate of freedom.

KRIS: Indeed, you can even appreciate your allowing.

BRIAN: Kris would “allowance” and “acceptance” be Sisters, because of the energies involved in them?

KRIS: They can indeed be YOUR Sisters!

BRIAN: Thanks Buddy! Now it’s sanctioned!

(Group laughter)

KRIS: Is it more appropriate to call them your “Sistahs”?

ELLEN and BRIAN: (Laughing) SISTAHS!

KRIS: Basically, have a field day with your appreciation! You perhaps might even have a lovely appreciation party, even if you are the only one partying!

(Appreciative laughter)

Especially when you remember that you are multidimensional Beings with unlimited expressions. This small party can indeed get quite large. Are there any questions?

PAUL: Kris, I have a question. I would like to hear your opinion to help those of us who want to try this practice in a more steady way over a period of weeks and months in that we are culturally trained to not brag, to be humble, to not be flashy and so we’re programmed. We need ways to overcome that.

Some of the folks who haven’t shared tonight, who have been quiet, I suspect are influenced by those belief systems that [to] just publicly express yourself in some appreciative way: “I’m a great musician, I’m a great lover, I’m a great financial manager,” you know: “Whoa, chill out, Dude! Be humble!” (Group chuckles)

I’d like to hear your opinion on how to manage those beliefs or to open up the door to that appreciative loving kindness energy that I suspect you’re pushing us toward.

KRIS: Very often indeed, culturally you are put down if you shout from the rooftops how great an individual you are and if that seems to be the case, then perhaps you may demonstrate it by your actions, since actions do speak louder than words. And put into practice every appreciation principle you discover within yourself. Apply it through not only your words, but also the things that you do, the things that you share with others, the very person that you are.

In a transcript the word and title of “Acharya,” spelled A-C-H-A-R-Y-A [Ah-char-ee-ah], means “he who teaches by example.” Not he who only teaches by words, because very often words can be empty, but the actions of the heart and that energy of allowing transforms reality more so than the words themselves. Does that make sense?

(Yes)

And at the same time, it does not mean that you must zip your lips and never mention what you appreciate about yourself, but do not only keep it at the level of the words, but implicate the whole self in the action. And whenever you encounter inner dialog that says, “WHO do you think you are?! – for daring to say that you appreciate your imagination, your creativity, your patience, your intuitiveness, your love of Nature, your ability to walk, etc.

You can very nicely, mentally turn to that inner dialog, inner voice and say, “Today I choose to listen ONLY to what I appreciate within myself and I choose to turn the volume down on YOUR voice and allow myself to no longer listen to you. You may have kept me company for many days, many months and many years, but I believe it is now time to part ways. It is time for ME to appreciate those qualities which are so effortlessly demonstrated in and through my being instead of discounting and putting myself down. It is my choice and I now allow for the things I have never allowed myself in that capacity.”

And do feel free to give the boot to that inner voice. And you can even put a little disclaimer on your chart: “No negative thoughts were harmed during this experiment.”

(Group laughter)

All in all, make it your greatest game ever, because the outcome is far more life-affirming than any game of monopoly that you can play. Does that answer your inquiry?

PAUL: Yes it does. Thank you very much.

KRIS: Are there other lovely questions?

JOSHUA K.: Yeah, I wanted to ask you, Kris, I think we touched on this a bit last week. What if you come across a negative trait, and you transform that negative trait by loving it. I’m curious about the mechanics, the anatomy of that.

KRIS: You can indeed choose to acknowledge it, meaning no longer denying it or fighting it. Addressing it, which means finding practical tools to begin transforming that state of awareness within you and accepting not only that particular habit, pattern, thought, etc., but to accept the whole Self, ALL of your self, and then in line with today’s topic, begin to discover even one single new item that you can appreciate within yourself and focus on that.

And if you have to do this five times, do it five times, until it is easier and easier to notice that a new pattern is establishing itself, a pattern of appreciation where your self-worth begins to demonstrate itself where fulfillment becomes second nature. There are two kinds of avenues towards self-fulfillment: through those so-called negative and even destructive mental habits and patterns wherein an individual can still find a certain kind of fulfillment and then there is the other way that we have presented here this evening. So again it is a matter of choice.

And you are NEVER, EVER forced to listen to various thoughts and mental patterns. They are truly a matter of choice. Thus, the small process we have presented this evening can make this new choice the habit of the day and it takes only five to seven days to begin rooting the process within a cycle of patterns and twenty-one days to complete the task.

A very small amount of time actually required compared to the hours, and weeks and possibly even the years of your lives spent fighting and battling yourselves within the arena of your mind. Would you say that this is a preferred alternative? Isn’t it then much yummier?

JOSHUA K.: I’ll drink to that.

KRIS: Indeed, so will we.

(The Toronto group laughs and Mark explains

MARK: For the record, Kris just took a drink.

ELLEN: A drink of what?!? (Chuckling) Was it meaningful?

KRIS: Profoundly so!

(Riotous laughter)

JOSHUA K.: So Kris what did you say, after twenty-one days, what happens?

KRIS: The task being that the new habit or pattern becomes firmly ingrained in your awareness.

JOSHUA K.: So it becomes actually your personality from that point on?

KRIS: Indeed, your personality acquires that manifestation.

MARK: It’s a program that becomes or starts to run, within you.

KRIS: Everything that all of you do, all of the time, is based on programming and many of these programs you installed in the hard drive of your consciousness from your infancy. And some larger programs have been running in the network to which you are all linked from beyond time and space, even before the first of you ever had a first thought in that way.

And these programs can be altered. The old retired and new programs installed. And within five to seven days, it begins then to install itself in the hard drive of your consciousness, and within twenty-one days, it is fully installed and functioning autonomously as part of who and what you are. But that means twenty-one days of actually and truthfully putting it into practice every single day.

JOSHUA K.: When you say practice….uh…

KRIS: What we described in making this chart.

JOSHUA K.: So just thinking about it?

KRIS: You have to MAKE the chart with your hands!

JOSHUA K.: So you write it?

KRIS: Indeed! Design lines horizontally, vertically, everyday: Monday, Tuesday, right to Sunday. Every day you will write a quality that you appreciate about yourself. A new one every day and every day you will ponder and meditate upon and demonstrate and act upon that new quality. Every day for twenty-one days! Now within five to seven days of the process you will begin to notice some changes. And by the twenty-first day of such a practice, the changes will be very deep indeed.

JOSHUA K.: So every day you put a new quality?

KRIS: Indeed.

JOSHUA K.: And you meditate on that and the second day you put a different quality?

KRIS: Indeed. Find a new one.

JOSHUA K.: So the second day you also meditate on the first one?

KRIS: On the one of that day.

JOSHUA K.: Okay, so in the twenty-one days, all it takes really, to run each program is meditating on one day.

KRIS: Indeed.

MARK: One aspect, or one –

JOSHUA K.: Those programs…just in meditating on one day can program…? Something in the mind –

MARK: What it’s doing is teaching you to appreciate yourself, daily. That’s what the program is that you’re installing.

KRIS: It is a program of self-appreciation. And it is not available through Microsoft!

MARK: (Chuckling) Thank god!

(Group laughter)

KRIS: It has no bugs. It has no back doors for viruses, hacking, spamming, phishing and so on. No malware and spyware because it is not made by Microsoft.

JOSHUA K.: Just one more question. Is possible to achieve a state of being that is not programmed? Can one act not from programming, but through a sort of objective truth in the moment that is not programmed? Is there such a state?

KRIS: It is possible, but very few people actually achieve this. And we can tell you that the process was kicked in some time before, even if partially unconsciously, but the intent is to keep this developing until there is a Eureka moment, but we are not advocating that anyone simply sit on the couch for twenty-one days, hoping that this eureka moment will somehow or other appear in their lives.

For the most part you would be seriously deluding yourselves. By putting such a small program in effect for so few days — only twenty-one days! — you have in your yearly calendar, three hundred and sixty-five days. That is not even one month. Think of the ease of which you then create a new aspect of yourself!

JOSHUA K.: Could you name some people throughout history who did get to that state of…

KRIS: It is not in our interests to name these people. You know some of them. Our interest is to assist individuals to develop a systematic and practical approach to the items in their lives that they can utilize. The tools that are already inherent in their consciousness. And then, enjoy the harvest.

When the farmer sows his seeds, thousands of seeds in the soil, and he nurtures them, and he sees the sun shining on the soil, warming it up, and he waters the soil, he knows that the seeds are germinating. And he knows that in so many days, they will start sprouting, coming out of the ground, and in so many more days, they will be so tall. In so many more days, they will begin to flower, thus to pollinate, and in so many more days, all he has to do is come by and harvest the fruits, the product of his efforts. And he will be well-rewarded for his endeavor. Does that make some sense?

JOSHUA K.: Yes.

KRIS: Now if the farmer decided simply to throw his seed anywhere and everywhere and do nothing with them, there is a likelihood that some would sprout and some would bear fruit, but it would indeed be quite haphazard. So we are simply suggesting that by putting into practice such a small creative endeavor, you can reap mighty big rewards! Now what is the time?

MARK: 9:00 on the button!

KRIS: Indeed then, perhaps we will be kind and wish you all a lovely holiday and urge you to appreciate all of those aspects of yourselves that you demonstrate within that time and invent creative ways to make those charts and calendars of appreciation and observe your transformations and watch the fruits of your efforts grow so that you can harvest them.

And we wish you all then, a LOVELY evening of appreciation and we will return to speak with you in the New Year, the “Year of Meaningfulness.” If you mean nothing to yourselves, then there is nothing in life that has any meaning whatsoever. Everything in life has a meaning (Loudly) BECAUSE YOU ARE MEANINGFUL BEINGS LIVING IN A MEANINGFUL UNIVERSE. Thus, enjoy the meaning of your life and be grateful for it.

Meaning of Life

December 15, 2006

Channeled by Serge J. Grandbois and Transcribed by Lisa Q. Pratt (Lauromar)
Recorded in Toronto, Canada on December 15, 2006

LAURIE: All right and we have Kris Radio. It is Friday night, it’s 7 o’clock and it is time for Kris radio. So we are excited tonight, we have some of our guests here that are always here and we also had a request here for somebody who wanted to come into the station, just a you know there is a Sunday evening at Serge’s house where everybody’s welcome. Mark maybe you’d like to talk a little bit more about that.

MARK: Hi this is Mark. Yeah, if you wanna go to our website which is www.krischronicles.com, Kris with a ‘K’ and all that information is there. Basically every Sunday we hold sessions in the house and people are welcome to attend.

LAURIE: Right. And we have no idea what’s happening tonight but this will be the last show of the year and well we have winter solstice coming up and we have our holidays and so you know we welcome everybody to join in and give us a call. Please wait until the topic has been chosen and Kris let’s us know when it’s a good time to call but for anybody who does want to call, its 416-204-9723, that’s 416-204-9723. Do we wanna introduce the people that are here?

JOHN: Yeah sure. Thanks Laurie, its John Hawkins here sitting in the driver’s… no, in the shotgun seat I think.

(Chuckling)

LAURIE: Yes because Laurie’s on the boards today.

MARK: And its Mark Bukator from the Kris Chronicles.

LAURIE: Come on Alicia.

ALICIA: And this is Alicia from Dundas… and I’m just visiting.

SERGE: And of course this is Serge.

LAURIE: There you go.

SERGE: And were just waiting for our…

LAURIE: Our welcoming friend to join us.

SERGE: Yeah, our dead guy.

LAURIE: Our dead guy. (Laughing)

SERGE: It’s a long on-going…

LAURIE: It is I can tell… I can tell… he likes that I think.

SERGE: Yes, we’ve had fun with that one and he’s pointed out many times that even though we kid around and call him a dead guy, he pointed out that he’s most likely much more alive than we are and he’s described a kind of irony in that us so-called living people have to consult with dead people to figure out our way around how to live.

(Laughter)

MARK: Yeah.

LAURIE: Right. There’s some irony there I’m sure.

JOHN: And I also like Seth’s very famous statement when asked about what it was like, what happened after we died, and he said you’re as dead now as you’re ever gonna be.

MARK: Here we go.

LAURIE: Yup, it looks like he’s about to come.

KRIS: Indeed we thank you for your consideration and we trust that you are all comfortable.

LAURIE: We are.

KRIS: So you are soon approaching a peak time of the year, the holiday season, a season many Christians and Judeo-Christians alike consider most holy and sacred, a time to gather round family, friends and company, a time to share closeness, gifts and good wishes to all. And there is a special aspect to this time of year that is often not given sufficient and due consideration, and that is: meaningfulness.

We have on one or two occasions now spoken softly and quietly and briefly about meaning in one’s life. And this does point out a major difference between what anyone would consider older cultures and civilizations of times past and the modern world of hustle and bustle, of stress and often of feeling lost. And we believe that it is highly significant, on a very high order of significance indeed, that modern society in all of its haste to get somewhere has quite deliberately misplaced the very reason it wants to get somewhere to attain some goal, to develop some achievements. And this does point out a major difference again between what is often referred to as older or ancient cultures and civilizations and your modern civilization and that very item is meaning.

There is meaningfulness in everyone’s life. That the individual is a meaningful individual and that life itself and the universe is meaningful and from that perspective, hustle and bustle of modern civilization, the rush to make ends meet, to fulfill one’s job obligations or life obligations often is considered a due replacement for the meaning in and of one’s very own life. Unfortunately many of the displaced and manifestations of modern civilization demonstrate that those replacements, those alternatives or synthetic meanings are not meaningful at all but do create an inordinate amount of despair and disorientation, and many people are wont to remark that somehow or rather modern life, modern existence seems to have lost its meaning.

And these people are not speaking metaphorically but realistically, and that is the point of the matter, that in the rush to get all of the niceties of modern life, the meaning of life has been misplaced. You cannot so easily replace the meaning of life with the newest brand of Tide or the latest brand of washing machine or the latest brand of whitening toothpaste. But modern civilization seems to impress upon the individual that these things are meaningful in and of themselves. That the latest and hottest and greatest item on the store shelves are what life is all about and that you need to rush to get these latest items and novelties and marvels of modern civilization because they are meaningful to your life, and unfortunately so many individuals fall prey to that type of marketing and indoctrination.

Thus the traditions, the rituals often passed down from ancient civilizations are often considered so much superstition, so much nonsense and hogwash and yet if you look at the meaningfulness of modern existence and the way your ancestors in these ancient cultures and civilizations had rituals and meaningfulness in their lives, and if you took the time to investigate and study those small aspects of ancient and modern life, you would see that there is indeed a very impactful conclusion to be derived. And this is also key to many of the dilemmas and challenges that preoccupies so many in the modern civilization. There are millions upon millions of people on anti-depressants, on psychotropic drugs and a host of other drugs meant to numb one’s self to the realities expressed in the body, to numb the symptoms that seek to draw your attention.

Modern medicine promises miracle cures yet so very few things are cured but merely the numbing of symptoms is not a cure, or rather it is a cheap cure. It fools you into thinking that your condition has somehow or rather been removed. And these things hide the despair of the individual and that is directly linked to your life, to the individual’s life being bereft of meaningfulness. And this is one thing that does separate ancient cultures and civilizations from your modern one. Ancient life was filled… not with superstitions claptrap but with meaningfulness, everything had some kind of meaning.

What meaning does your present life have? Do you consider yourself a meaningful being living in a meaningful universe or are you forever searching for meaning in life? So many individuals ask us ‘what is the meaning of my life? What is the meaning of life and does life have a meaning?’

Our answer is that life has meaning. And your life is meaningful and you express that meaningful life in a meaningful universe. There is no need to search high and low, to run to the tops of the mountains seeking for the meaning of your life because your life is meaningful all by itself. Its very nature has meaning and is meaningful. And as soon as you can direct your attention to this small truth, a universal truth, and act accordingly, you will quickly notice how your life can become very different indeed.

That your life need not be as an empty vessel that you seek to fill with the latest, greatest and hottest product or that you run from one relationship to another to another to another, looking for a meaning in your life but that your life itself is the meaning you are seeking! And that can dramatically alter the dynamics of your understanding about life. And the outcome can be most satisfying because your life is a demonstration of the meaningfulness of its own existence. And we only ask you to think about, investigate and experiment and think back… how often do you ask yourself or others about the meaning of life, about the meaning of this, the meaning of that and is your life even meaningful?

And many aspects and philosophies of modern civilization want you to accept the belief that life has no meaning or purpose save procreation of the species. That life in general is meaningless and your life has no meaning because you are supposed to be little more than an amalgam of proteins, atoms, molecules, amino acids, chemicals, water and that by itself has no meaning. You are merely driven by instinctual impulses. Yet if you observe yourself and others, you will recognize that there is indeed an intuitive thrust, a powerful intuitive momentum that literally propels you to wonder about the meaningfulness of your existence. Because there is indeed a deep psychic understanding that your life has meaning, your life is meaningful and so is meaningfulness displayed throughout the universe.

But when you are indoctrinated by ideas, concepts and philosophies that seem to indicate that life, your life and life in general is meaningless then you are in conflict because you intuitively understand that this is not case. But your modern culture and civilization does not indicate or demonstrate that life has meaning. And when you accept those thoughts and those beliefs, you wonder if your search for meaning is somehow an aberration, that there is something wrong with you, that you cannot accept that life is meaningless, nothing but an instinctual drive to make the species prosper, this thus, no wonder that so many in your world seem to hover on the edge of despair and do not understand your existence and are in conflict with your own nature.

So from our perspective, as soon as you put into practice and apply this universal truth that your existence and your being is meaningful and you have life in a meaningful universe, you will begin to see what we are speaking of. You will begin to appreciate and appreciate your life that much more regardless of how it is displayed around you. Your existence as a meaningful being will alter the very paradigm of reality, your personal reality, to reflect the meaningfulness of your existence. So if you catch yourself wondering about the meaning of your life, the meaning of life and what it is all about, then direct your questioning inwardly to the deepest part of your being, and the echoes that will answer your question will indicate to you the you are a meaningful being existing in a meaningful existence, a universe filled with meaning. And on that meaningful note we would suggest a small break.

(Musical interlude)

LAURIE: I don’t know what happens at the last bit of that song cause every time we get to 10 seconds, it just… it’s gone. It’s gone!

And were back with Kris radio and it’s an interesting evening talking about meaning and really, the meaning of the holidays the meaning of life the meaning that all of us should be thinking about at this time because this is the time before a new year where we kinda think back on what we did this year and contemplate what will we… what our hopes and dreams are for the following year, and meaning would provide… meaning! Exactly! What’s the meaning of this next year and what we’re wanting to get out of it… exactly! Meaning!

(Laughter)

LAURIE: The big guy’s coming back.

KRIS: Now, as we have so elegantly and eloquently delivered small but very condensed material, we do wish it to be understood that it is far more complex, that the issues and questions of life are as different for each individual as they are complex for each individual, and (unintelligible phrase) but there is one thing that is absolutely certain. THAT IS THAT YOU ARE A MEANINGFUL BEING IN A MEANINGFUL UNIVERSE. And as soon as you take this to heart and you allow those very powerful meaningful impulses to come to the surface of your awareness, then your very existence will reflect and demonstrate that very subject matter.

And it need not be complicated even though it can be complex and we are definitely not asking anyone to take our word for it and to accept it blindly, that is not our purpose. Our purpose has always been to engage the individual to question his or her life. To investigate and literally to put into question all that has been accepted as the facts of life and the truth about life, and in return, develop your higher intellect and combination of emotional and logical intelligences, and not specifically condemn one for the other.

Life is not only about what you feel but also what you think, your intellect and your emotions. Your imagination and your conscious thoughts all need to be brought together and not act separately and in conflict with each other. Primarily, primordially, they are not in conflict but when the meaning of your life escapes you, it becomes easier and easier to mistrust self. And thus you mistrust others and very specifically, that which you sweetly refer to as your inner self, your higher self, your essence, the divine, however you wish to label it.

When you do not trust your own existence and the meaning of your own life, you do not trust the larger aspects of your being. It is no wonder then that you are seeking meaning and none seems to come to you because you do not trust it. That only adds to your despair and confusion. However, re-establishing that connection, that link with the very meaningfulness of your life can have very profound impacts upon your psyche, your psychology and your civilization.

We spoke earlier about the large number of people in your civilization that are suffering from depression of one kind or another and to one degree or another. And out of that comes so many other manifestations of imbalances. You seek to alleviate these with chemicals that further distance you from the very connection you seek to make to heal yourselves. Now we are not advocating that anyone cease their medications if they are on, but we are strongly supporting a reconnection with the meaning of your life, the very meaning of your being, and being has its very own inherent meaningfulness, and as soon as you begin the process of that reconnection, life can be very different.

Once you are grounded in the root of your being, the meaning of your existence, then indeed you can allow yourselves so easily to let go of attachments to misplaced meaningfulness, to despair, to a hollowness of self and begin to fill that emptiness with meaningfulness. And from that meaningfulness comes a joyous recognition that you matter. That is the whole point of meaningfulness in one’s life that you matter. But it must be done and recognized within the individual first. Reaching out and seeking to others to provide you with that meaningfulness and to make your life matter will only aggravate the situation that you are dealing with. So we urge you to put into practice the recognition that in and of itself, your very BEING is the meaningfulness you are seeking.

You will not find it in the temples. You will not find it in the dance halls or anywhere else for that matter. But once you have that connection deep in your being, you can go anywhere you want and there will be your meaningfulness. There will you be: a meaningful individual. You will matter to yourself and then you will matter to others because you are what matters in your life. Thus our usual tradition is to discuss on the New Year day, a theme for the upcoming year, we will simply get ahead of ourselves now. As essence we allow ourselves this privilege and that is, that this upcoming year is the year of meaningfulness. And with that we ask if those who are here at this table or board have any questions on the subject matter before we ask for the lines to be open.

JOHN: Yes thank you Kris, I have one question. Let’s say that we have, like as you say, millions and millions of people bought into the idea of the modern world that life is meaningless. And yet we have this inner intuitive seeking for meaning which creates conflict. How do we… what’s the process that we undergo to begin to make that connection to reconnect to the meaning of our lives so that all these other wonderful things you’re describing can start to happen?

KRIS: Indeed. Again we need to be brief, though we will unfold many such practices throughout the year. But you may begin by firstly acknowledging that in spite of all appearances and all beliefs to the contrary, your life is meaningful… as a very first step. The very fact that you are, as a human being and that you have taken existence in this world is a meaningful act… an act that does alter the entire scheme of history. For what would life as you know it be like if you did not exist? Would it have any meaning? None. But because you are a meaningful being that enters and manifest into the world as you know it, gives it a unique meaning. Do you understand that?

JOHN: Yes. I particularly like the idea that since we are all unique, and meaning is… the meaning of our lives is our lives then it follows then that the meaning of everybody’s life is unique to them!

KRIS: Indeed and thus, say there are 12 billion people on your planet though there’s less, then there would be 12 billion unique meaningful expressions of life. Each different yet able to work together and create a consensus reality.

LAURIE: So I have meaning, therefore I am?

KRIS: That is correct. You have meaning, therefore you are meaningful.

JOHN: Okay so just to bring us back to the process, step one is to acknowledge that your life is meaningful. Was there another… I know you’re going to go into this in some detail next year.

KRIS: Indeed and we can definitely utilize the triple A. Acknowledge that your life is meaningful, that it has meaning in spite of any apparent evidence to the contrary. Secondly, begin to address, meaning begin to put into practice simple principles that bring this to the forefront of your consciousness. If you need to establish a small ritual even if it is only a few moments every day, that you concentrate and focus upon the meaningfulness of your being and then go about exploring that meaningfulness throughout your daily actions and interconnectedness with other lives, other individuals. And the third simple step is to accept that very principle that your existence, the displays and manifestations and interconnectedness with all life is the very meaning that you seek to explore,, a simple basic approach that can literally prime the processes that much more into your consciousness. Does that make sense to you?

JOHN: Yes thank you very much and I’m very much looking forward to how this unfolds in the new year.

KRIS: Indeed. If there are no other questions at the table then perhaps there might be some callers that would like to explore the topic a little more.

LAURIE: And that would be 416-204-9723.

KRIS: In the meantime please feel free to discuss more about this.

MARK: While you were talking, delivering the material there, I kept thinking back to times when our civilization had meaning. If I think back to grandparents and great grandparents and how they went about their lives and the things that they did compared to what we do now. Even the simple act of eating dinner was a big thing.

KRIS: Indeed it was not a rushed job at the McDonald’s on your way to the office, stuffing your face and getting upset stomach. It was a time of sharing. It was indeed a meaningful ritual to share food that you are blessed with, and the company and love of friends and family, a very deep and meaningful ritual.

MARK: Even back to say, ancient cultures and some of the things that they would do, the ceremonies they would have for simple things.

KRIS: Indeed. The stars brought specific meaning into their lives. The elements of nature, water, air, the earth, forests, minerals, these all had meaning in their lives. There were perhaps many rituals but they had meaning in the people’s lives.

JOHN: So in the modern world it strikes me that the growing awareness of the significance of what’s called synchronicity or sometimes coincidence in its dismissive way, but the idea that the accidents, seeming accidents can occur, that seem to have the a message for us could be…

KRIS: Indeed. That message is that your life is meaningful. Scientists have to their credit recognized that there is such a thing as telephone telepathy. That may indeed be the beginning of a revolution of understanding human nature.

JOHN: And just so that… people who may not know what telephone telepathy is… it actually has been studied and proven that people, way more than chance would indicate, can actually tell who is on the phone when it rings and I know we’ve all had that experience.

KRIS: Indeed.

LAURIE: Yes, it’s called call display.

(Laughter)

KRIS: Another interesting aspect is that in the same studies, they have demonstrated that it is not a fluke that you may be thinking of a friend or someone you have not spoken to in a long time and lo and behold, 10 minutes later, guess who calls, guess who you meet at the shopping market.

MARK: I swear as a kid that my mother had her own special ring.

(Laughter)

JOHN: Well thinking about that idea of your life being meaningful… just in the last couple of weeks or perhaps more, I have been experimenting with an idea where I ask myself a question. I might be sitting in a food court… I ask myself a question like… whatever the question might be, and I just look around and observe the people around me, and suddenly something will jump out as being a little scenario, a little sort of… almost like a little play is unfolding in front of me and I’ll look into that and see that symbolically expressed within that little incident where my attention was drawn to, is the answer that I was looking for.

LAURIE: Wow.

KRIS: If every individual took a few moments to actually pay attention to those small moments, those apparent synchronicities, they would only be able to enhance that particular aspect of human nature. And these instances of telephone telepathy or plain old telepathy and many other similar concepts will begin to demonstrate themselves to display and manifest in your existence. And again we do not ask anyone to simply believe it because we say so. We would be remiss if we did not push you to investigate on your own and to find those very cues that tell you that life is meaningful. That you are not simply deluding yourself because you are little more than an amalgam of proteins and chemicals all put together in a nice bag of skin… that concept is meaningless! What is the time please?

LAURIE: We have 10 minutes.

KRIS: Indeed! If there any individuals wishing to call please do so, otherwise we will continue to discuss.

MARK: What’s the number?

LAURIE: 416-204-9723

KRIS: In the meantime please continue your conversations.

JOHN: Okay, something that I just wanted to stress, that I wanted to just highlight in what you’ve described so far, is that as long as we bel…

(Phone rings)

JOHN: Okay there you go. I think this may be very meaningful.

LAURIE: It’s very meaningful.

KRIS: A meaningful ring. Please answer.

JOHN: Hello.

ELLEN: Hi John this is Ellen from Delaware.

JOHN: Well hi Ellen, how are you? Welcome!

ELLEN: (laughing) Is this John?

JOHN: Yes go ahead with your question Ellen.

ELLEN: Are you ready?

JOHN: We’re ready.

ELLEN: This is Ellen from Delaware, your favorite transcriber.

KRIS: A very meaningful individual indeed.

ELLEN: Should I turn down my volume?

LAURIE: Yes, turn down your computer completely.

JOHN: Yeah, turn down your computer completely.

ELLEN: Okay.

LAURIE: There’s a delay.

ELLEN: Okay. I’m really enjoying the show tonight. The question of the discussion about meaningfulness reminded me of the movie ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ of course, and how… what was the character’s name? George… oh I can’t remember his name… George Bailey was taught in the movie how his life touched so many other people’s lives and gave his life meaning.

And it also brought to mind how in the last few days, on our website in newworldview.com, there was a young woman, a young participant who recently passed away in a car accident and there are many people who would say ‘well her life… you know, what a meaningless death that was’. They would cluck their tongues and shake their heads about it and yet in these past few days… and so many of us, we hardly knew this young woman, just from you know, a few words on posts and poetry she would write, and yet she touched everybody’s lives so much and that’s what we’ve been discussing the last few days. And it just… I guess there’s no question, it’s just kind of a comment about that… about how people talk about what meaning did our lives have. I think there’s a lot of meaning and how we touch each other’s lives in these small ways and it’s really not such a small way when you come down to it.

KRIS: Indeed. Even an apparent meaningless death is not meaningless. The very fact that individuals are pondering the meaning of her existence indicates that even in death there is a great deal of meaning that even more so for those who are alive in those terms. The individual known as Anu, whose essence name is Ankaru, had found a great deal of meaningfulness and existence and her own life, and recognized that in order to express a greater depth of that meaningfulness in another way, she would need to create another existence where challenges were of a different nature, even though her existence in this life had many great challenges, she is on another quest for even greater meaningfulness.

And all of your lives, especially those who knew her personally, will be greatly moved and touched by the meaning of her existence. And it is a very unfortunate that often more than anything else, you recognize the meaning and meaningfulness of an individual by their passing. If you recognized it by their arrival into the world and rejoiced, would not your civilization be completely different?

JOHN: Right on.

ELLEN: Absolutely.

KRIS: Would you not stop bitching about the meaningfulness of life? Would you not celebrate instead the meaning of life in all of its glorious aspects? We think so. And that is what we are encouraging and challenging everyone to explore. We believe you have an expression; we triple dog dare you, each and every one of you, to explore the meaningfulness of your life and see how that is reflected and demonstrated throughout the entire span of existence as you know it from your reality. Change the nature of your filters and the world will change with it. Does that make sense to you?

MARK: Yes.

LAURIE: Yes.

ELLEN: Wonderful sense.

KRIS: Indeed we thank you for many meaningful things. Perhaps there might be other callers.

(Dial tone then phone rings… laughter)

JOHN: Hello.

(Dial tone)

LAURIE: Oops!

MARK: Speaking of newworldview and meaning, there’s a very meaningful essay, actually it’s much more than an essay, by Joanne Helfrich, right on the homepage… that I highly recommend that people check out cause that is a good way of addressing meaningfulness… so that’s at newworldview.com.

LAURIE: We have three minutes left.

KRIS: Indeed. Please continue your discoursing in any meaningful manner you wish.

MARK: We’re sorry if we disconnected somebody there, we’re sorry.

LAURIE: It happens.

MARK: Oopsie!

(Laughter)

LAURIE: It still has meaning.

MARK: I bet you there’s a lot of four-letter word meanings out there right now.

(more laughter)

LAURIE: No, don’t be silly.

MARK: I don’t think we’ve ever run out of things to say before.

LAURIE: We’re all contemplating our meaning.

KRIS: Indeed then, consider this holiday time leading into the new year as your threshold to exploring the meaningfulness of your most precious, lovely, glorious and sacred self and with that we will leave you to ponder and own meaning.

ALL: Thank you Kris.

MARK: And to our listeners out there, this coming Sunday at 7:00 p.m. Toronto time… sorry 7:30 p.m. Toronto time, we will be holding the next international session where you can call in and participate in a Kris session. For information please go to www.krischronicles.com. Kris with a ‘K’ and all the information is there.

LAURIE: And with that, this is the last Kris radio for this year and we hope to see you all back in January and I hope you all have an amazing year and find meaning not only in the last part of 2006 but in the next year so take care and we’ll see you next year.

MARK: Bye bye.

(Session ends)
