Jade Fire:
Good evening children.
Good evening Sir.
What questions would you have us answer today?
Sir we have talked about ‘Self’ and ‘Being’. I wanted to know if they are one and the same thing or is there any special connection between Self and Being.
‘Being’ is ‘self’ and ‘ego’. So you are a ‘being’. As ‘being’ you need to go through ego, transcend it enough, to be able to use it correctly and still be ‘self’.’ Self’ is the essential part of light that you are. For self to take embodiment into ‘being’, it needs ego, which covers it, overcomes it and it is then that ‘being’ is complete. A being has several veils of forgetfulness placed upon it. These veils of forgetfulness are important in the formation of ego.
The first veil is that of sight. The second veil is that of smell. The third veil is that of hearing. The fourth veil is that of touch. The fifth veil is that of taste. The sixth veil is conditioning of the mind due to soul memory. The seventh: conditioning of the environment. And so completes the seven physical veils of forgetfulness.
Your senses are all veils of forgetfulness. The eyes permit you to see only that which is physical, material, tangible around you. The ears help you to hear only that which the physical Ego calls ‘sound’. Taste leads you into this illusory belief that only what ‘tastes’ good to you is to be consumed. Touch makes you believe that only what is physical and material is real. Smell leads you into the illusory belief that inhalation and exhalation is life. We have discussed the two other veils that are Mind-controlled and Soul-controlled in the past.
And a Being is complete with ALL its veils. ‘Self’ takes on form of a Being because the endeavour of each spark is to overcome the physicality of being and to dwell constantly in light. Does that answer your question dear one?
Does it mean that overcoming the Ego gets you more towards the Being? That is what I have understood.
The Being is complete little one. Overcoming of the Ego helps you as the complete Being to be able to re-connect to another part of ‘Being’ itself, which is ‘Self’, which is the essential ‘Spark of Light’. Whether Ego has been overcome or not, Being remains complete. The veils are not lifted when one is ‘self’. The veils are recognized.
Are you clearer now my son?
Yes Sir, I am.
We will discuss an important law of the Universe which has arisen from our dear son’s question.
Those who are new here, are wondering why the Veils are put upon you. And even those who have heard us before are not very clear about it. We need to explain this law. The law helps you "For Get" -----"GETTING ‘SELF’". It is erroneous to think that what one has experienced in the past is left behind in the past and ‘forgotten’. The law first explains ‘who’ forgets. "Self’ knows all, experiences all and remembers all. It is the ‘physical embodiment’ that ‘forgets’. And it is not truly a ‘forgetting’, it is more ‘not knowing at all’. The Veils that the senses and the mind and soul memory conditioning place upon you, are so dense that only briefly is past experience and wisdom allowed to seep through and the physical goes through a state of not forgetting but almost ‘not knowing it at all’. And yet the physical is only a part of the whole Being and when the Being proclaims its intention to touch and re-connect to ‘Self’, the veils will be thin enough for memory to trickle in. But because the Veils are thick, when memory trickles in, it appears to you as though it is ‘new’ knowledge, something which you have learnt for the first time. When the sense of newness vanishes, the ‘Self’ reawakens, and now is able to filter through the Veils more easily and there comes a time when you will say ‘I know this’. This is the truth’. That is the point of complete re-connection.
How does the memory trickle in? In two ways : For those who are intellectually inclined, whose ‘Intellectual Being’ is powerful, memory will come in, in the form of books, meetings like this one, or maybe Workshops that you will attend or pictures that you will see, or words that you will hear, or people who you will meet, and you will call this ‘coincidence’.
But not all Beings work through the Intellect. Some are what we call ‘experiential’ beings. They need to experience wisdom first. The Wisdom converts backwards into Knowledge, which once again transforms into Wisdom. And for those Beings experiences come their way. Many call these 'turning points’ in their lives. And their entire life seems to take on two aspects, the ‘before’ and the ‘after’. And the ‘after’ is very often diametrically opposite to ‘before’.
There is a third considerably smaller group that needs both ‘intellectual’ and ‘experiential’. For them the Universe works in a harmony that is essential. The ‘experience’ is given and almost instantaneously the ‘intellectual’ is given the opportunity to be satisfied. But first the experience is given.
And these are ways that memory trickles inwards. And therefore there is no ‘forgetting’. It is only ‘accepting’ that part of knowledge and wisdom that you desire to accept and at that time when you desire to accept it. And why do you desire it? For ‘getting’ to the essence of being ‘Self’ that you are.
And now there is a further question that arises: why now? Why did this not happen to you a few years ago, in your childhood? Memory when it trickles in, re-awakens the wisdom the Spark has, helps in re-connection to Spark and this re-connection is vital for the vibrations to increase, which must increase if you are to become one with the earth in its 5th dimension and that is why ‘now’.
When you took physical embodiment you put into your blueprint this path, knowing full well as a spark, knowing full well as a spark that your vibrations, your energies need to be raised enough. And so you put this into your blueprint as a cornerstone. But this corner-stone is different from others. The universe will ensure that this cornerstone opportunity comes your way. In that it is a cornerstone and opportunity will come your way. But for energy vibrations to rise it must be through a free will decision made by the ‘being’. So the opportunity comes as planned by a cornerstone and then a choice is left up to your free will. When a choice is taken to fulfil this cornerstone decision, the universe will present to you diverse ways through which memory will trickle in and eventually gush into your life.
Do you think this meeting is only, the only way you will get this? Not at all. It is only one of several, several ways that the Universe will use, to help you fulfil your decision to the fullest. So that when the time appears, you will be in that wonderful place where a large part of physical karma will be left behind and not carried forward into the 5th dimension.
And so you can see how Universal Laws blend – The Law of Forget works so that Law of Cause and Effect stops working. And how will this law of cause and effect stop? When vibrations are raised to a point where the ego has been overcome and ‘self’ is not only a mind-controlled concept but is the reality that you experience, in that moment of reality there is no cause and effect. How can there be? Cause and effect is the law that works for the ‘physical ego’ not the ‘self’. When ego itself has been overcome, how can the law now work?
Does this make this ‘Law of Forget’ clearer to everyone? Are
there questions on this?
Right now, is Earth in 3D, 4D or 5D, or a mixture of all three?
It is in its ‘transition’ which you have sometimes called the 4th Dimension.
Is there a mixture of both right now on the Planet?
Maybe you can call it that because little one, if you can recall what we have said earlier, after every three dimensions there is really a period of transition. In this period of transition, the old and new will merge sometimes and then proceed on to the new.
How do we manage the 4th Dimension? I mean, sometimes we are in the state of 3D and sometimes we are living in the state of 4D and then it gets a little insane out there, you know?
"In-sane"! We will ask you to do an exercise that we asked our other children to do yesterday. We hope this will make my little one less ‘insane’.
For one month we ask you all to sit in the ‘driver’s seat of this vehicle that is ego’. If you try to do this constantly, you will get even more ‘insane'. So you will do this for only half an hour, every day for one month. What is important to remember is, to ensure that the time of half an hour that you have designated for this remains constant. You are not permitted to move this half an hour by even five minutes.
What will you do when you are in this ‘driver’s seat’? I ask you all to recall the physical experience of sitting inside a vehicle and driving. Are you distinct from that vehicle or do you become that vehicle?
You are distinct. You are the ‘driver’ of that ‘vehicle’, you are not the vehicle. As ‘driver’ of this ‘ego’ you must experience for that half an hour the distinction between ego and Self that drives the ego-vehicle. You may set for yourself an alarm to ensure that you are aware of the half an hour and then come what may you must become the driver instantaneously. You do not need to stop whatever activity you are doing. But now you will undertake that activity in the full realisation of the distinction of ego and self. And that half an hour must not change.
If you are in the middle of work for the next half an hour you will continue that work with the experience of the self. If you are in the middle of an argument, we ask you to try to continue the argument with full realisation of self. If you are sitting at home doing nothing, continue doing nothing and feel the distinction of ego and self.
Half an hour at the same time done for one month will present you situations of different kinds that will arise and you will be given this wonderful opportunity to experience, in physical manifestation, in all your illusory reality, you will experience ‘self’. And then you will not ask us questions: How would ‘self’ respond to this situation? You will already know.
If this is done diligently, after one month, you will have re-treaded in your brain another groove of working. And then if you desire, to move out of the 3rd dimension Ego, you will be easily able to do this because a new groove has now been formed. And then little one, there will be no ‘insanity’. There will be no conflict. The self will have used the physical Ego to be in control.
Sir just now when you spoke about it, I am a little bit confused. To be in the driver’s seat of Ego what am I supposed to do, think of egoistical thoughts or what, in order to distinguish from my Self Sir?
We will make this clear for you. Little one, when you are driving your vehicle, as the driver your aim is to drive in the best possible manner to protect yourself and your vehicle from any harm. To reach your destination as desired in as short a time as you can. If you constantly thought about an accident, about a traffic signal, about the pesky pedestrian, your control would be distracted. And as a driver you would not be able to do your best. Now when you are in this Ego vehicle, the traffic jam and the traffic signal and the pedestrian and the accident can all be compared to thoughts of Ego. You need to go beyond. When you drive, do you think about how to drive? No, because you are in complete control. Your thoughts are not ‘outward’. There is a consciousness within you that ‘drives’ that vehicle. Is that not true?
Yes Sir
And so you drive it without ‘thought’ of ‘how to drive’. But when you first learnt, you needed to think about your next move and your hands and your legs and the car in front and behind. And gradually came this ‘consciousness’, which has now taken over your driving. In one month, my son, you will be able to get into your being this ‘consciousness’ and then you will not have to think about your next move, your next word. It will all be ruled by ‘consciousness’. Are you clear?
That means Sir that for this one month, I have to be conscious about letting my ‘self’ overpower the ‘ego’ for everything we do?
For half an hour. And then whatever situation you face in that half an hour you do not ‘walk away’ from that situation, you confront it completely as ‘self’. And don’t forget the little ‘tests’ that your higher self will constantly put for you. As the one month comes to its end you might find the tests getting a little more difficult. The more difficult they are, the deeper will be the ‘treads’ that you will cut.
Sir, I may be a bit silly, but I still haven’t understood about the dimensions. To me it’s a mystery.
Let it be a mystery. Why look at universal dimensions when there are so many within yourself that are still eluding you? Let that be a mystery.
About that exercise you mentioned, I am still a little confused. If you try to identify with your Ego how does one practice? Supposing you are cooking, now how does one practice it there?
EXPERIENCE that. Only that will give you the answer.
Sir I shouldn’t get any other thoughts that are coming in my mind or any other distractions?
Little one, you are the ‘driver’, not we.
If you are in the middle of an argument and you realise the Self but the minute you realise the Self, there won’t be any argument left then?
(Laughter)
But there will be a greater realisation. The realisation that argument is only ego generated. An argument takes place due to the need for external validation. An argument is the greatest proof of poor or no connection between self and ego.
Sir, why is this exercise not called ‘driving’ the Self?
Little one, you are not driving the self. The Self is driving the ‘you’ that is ‘physical’.
Sir talking about the variety of experiences. What if one sets the time for 6 o’clock . . .. .
Try it.
Sir you spoke about ‘insane’ and ‘insanity’, if you break up this word ‘insanity’ it becomes ‘IN sanity’
He is now picking up OUR language!
(Hearty laughter)
After 3 years of it Sir I should pick up something . . . .
You are picking up a lot my little one and we are joyous at how hard you endeavour through all to overcome your Ego. This exercise is not really required by you. It is only a continuation of what you try through the day.
Just now you said about sitting in the ‘driver’s seat’. But
very often we have even at this stage felt, after so many lessons from you that
we DO realise when we, especially in an argument or in some sort of a tricky
situation, that it is the Ego that is causing you to act or speak in that way
and immediately the next moment you realise
that ‘yes this has been your ego’. This has been a validation. That means I am
already in the ‘driver’s seat’?
Aaah! External validation! And what did you do little one when you were really driving a vehicle? You never permitted consciousness to rise because there was always fear of that big bad bully. (laughter) Do not get into the driver’s seat with fear.
Sir I just want to understand the difference between SELF and SOUL. Are they two different things, are they one being, what is it? In Mind, body and soul, where is Self?
SELF has two descriptions or definitions if you would like to call it. It is a large term with hazy boundaries. Soul is ‘self’ embodied. Spirit is ‘self’ disembodied. And that is why we use the term higher self, embodied and disembodied. Soul is ‘self’ which has been overcome by the veils. Now when we ask you to reconnect to ‘Self’ we are not asking you to become disembodied. We are asking you to now overcome those Veils that overcame ‘Self’ and become ‘self’ that is embodied and yet free. Hazy boundaries.
Sir just now you spoke about me in the ‘driver’s seat’. Could you kindly just explain because I did not really understand what you said? What is the meaning of driving with fear?
You know why we will not explain.
Sir, what happens to the Ego in the 5th Dimension?
The Ego in the 5th Dimension is left behind. It is no more ego. It is only a physical form that is taken out of necessity, if spirit desires. That is why we said my son, ego must be left behind and overcome so that the law of cause and effect comes to an end. Even when spirit desires embodiment, spirit will be a being of light. And as dimensions get higher, this physical form that spirit takes becomes thinner, more transparent and spirit recognises another spirit by light emanation and not the physical. And then in the highest, there is only pure light, without any embodiment.
About Soul and Self can we say that when the Soul is embodied in physical form it becomes the Self?
You will understand. Be patient and dwell upon this.
Sir, is there free will in the 5th dimension?
In the 5th dimension there is a greater role that free will plays. And as the dimensions go higher there is only will.
Sir I want to know if the laws that work on the 3rd dimension, do they work on the 4th dimension or are there different laws for each dimension?
They work in a different manner little one, which we will find very difficult to explain to you. But certain laws will have no place in the higher dimensions. What works in the higher dimensions are laws that pertain to Spirit more than Physical. These laws work in all dimensions. The entire Universe, little one, is ruled by the laws. In the 3rd dimension and the ones that come before, the laws work upon the physical and are therefore sometimes known as physical laws. The same laws are in existence and work but in a way that is different. As different as physical is to spiritual.
Sir I wanted to ask about connecting to the Higher Self of which you spoke earlier. We have to go beyond the Ego, but all the desires that we have, materialistic desires, they stem from the Ego and so how does one overcome them. Does one suppress them or does one . . . .
We then come to another law. (Laughter) And that is the ‘law of detachment’. That, little one, is a good example of a law that works in a higher dimension. The law of Detachment in the lower dimensions works on the Physical. When Ego is left behind, the law of detachment works on the Spirit. Now we will try to explain this to you. But it might appear very abstract.
The 5th, 6th and seventh are dimensions which merge physical
embodiment and Spirit. But because Ego has been left behind, the law of
detachment does not work on Ego, but on the physical embodiment of the Spirit.
It might seemingly appear to you that it would be the easiest thing for Spirit
to do not to opt for any physical embodiment. And yet, little one you may be
surprised to know that physical embodiment is what Spirit is attached to, the
most. Now do not confuse physical embodiment with Ego. The law of detachment
works upon Spirit, enabling it to be able to detach itself from ‘form’, urging
it to be able to identify itself as ‘form-less’. Try and envision that and
you will find it impossible to envision yourself ‘form-less’ because the first
question
your Mind will put to you will be ‘What will I be when I am form-less?’
And yes detachment from desires is extremely essential before moving into the 5th. And what we would suggest to you: all the desires that you have, all, experience them as ‘self’. You will find that this experience will really be a ‘non-experience’ of desires and that which you desired and clung to will in a moment of true experiencing of self, in that moment you will detach from that desire.
Those who recommend to you to force yourself to discipline yourself into a ‘giving up’ of desires are guiding you astray. This kind of external discipline only reinforces ego. It is mind-controlled. Detachment springs from ‘Self’. And so give free rein to all your desires. But when you experience the fulfilment of that desire, take a few moments to get back into the ‘driver’s seat’. At the end of those few moments, if done truly, the desire will have vanished and you will have been able to detach from a small Ego part of you.
Sir you said to experience desire as ‘Self’. How does one – is it re-living the experience and letting it pass?
Not re-living – LIVING! Doing and saying and being all that the Ego desires you to be, to say and to do. Let that experience be complete. And then take the few minutes to now continue this experience as ‘SELF’. The change is interesting.
Would you say enjoy everything and eat nothing?
Am I saying that or are you?
(Laughter)
Sir where family is concerned, how do you distinguish whether you are detached or insensitive towards them?
It is the Ego that is asking this question
Sir I would like you to please explain this Sir.
You are aware little one, that we will only guide you towards your answers. The true answers come from within you.
If the ‘driver’ fears a confrontation?
Get together! Fear, little one, is Ego controlled. When ‘Self’ is asked to experience, ‘Fear’ cannot be present. If Ego comes and takes the wheel only disguising itself in an illusion of ‘Self’ – FEAR.
Sir may I ask a question please? Sir how does Ramsey’s theory of "As above so below" fit into all this, fit into this plan?
The vast Macrocosm is Light. Light embodied into matter became your physical universe. And yet this microcosm is exactly as the macro. This further evolved into light embodied into different physical forms. The smallest of all cosmos is life-forms and yet this micro is as complete as the macro. All laws that work in macro work on all three stages. Why is ego essential? It is only when you experience your complete cosmos, your cosmos,(pointed to the physical) can you look outwards and then become aware ‘as above so below. How can you endeavour to learn this truth when this truth still lies concealed? And when this truth is revealed, what is revealed to you is all creation.
Sir if I understood rightly, the Earth is a microcosm of this Macro. Now this magma which comes out of a volcano, is that the original form of millions of years ago when the Earth was formed?
What you are seeing is the initial moment of embodiment, whose energies have not densified to matter.
I don’t know if there is a connection to what we are talking about today, but many times you do things – acts of virtue – instantly feel compassion, genuine act of total compassion. Somewhere along the way Ego comes in the way. I mean when you start expecting you know. Maybe not then, somewhere. You know it’s wrong. We know for a fact that we are guided to be compassionate, feeling of love or sympathy or money or whatever and yet when the chance comes, as human beings we retaliate as if . . . . expectation . . . . . .
That is the ‘insanity’ the little one spoke about and you must not be deterred by these moments. These moments must be welcomed. They give you the opportunity to get back into the ‘driver’s seat’.
If it was done by ‘love’ Sir, there would be no expectation.
Little one, when Veils are upon ‘Self’ love itself is only a physical illusion of the reality.
Is there a nuclear threat on this planet?
You have caused us to resort to another Law – ‘ALL cannot be revealed’. We ourselves are bound by Laws. And we cannot go beyond them.
Be Light.
