We will take up first: HOW TO CHANGE. And then we will suggest ways in which this change can become a part of you even when it is confronted by conflict all around you.

We ask you to turn your attention to a word that you use casually, but which now has great meaning. Nowhere. That is reality. Are you here? Illusion.  You are nowhere.  Why are you nowhere? How can you separate yourself so much from the Divine to be in another place where there is no divine? And so you are really ‘nowhere’. In your separation you are still one. The one-ness of every one. This ‘nowhere’ experiences the 3-dimensional meaning of this word. And the 3 dimensional meaning is ‘NOW’, ‘HERE’. But what is now when there is no time. And what is here when there is no space? And so where are you again? Nowhere! But you experience the illusion of time as ‘now’, and you experience the illusion of space as ‘here’. And in this experience of illusion lies your pathway to experiencing the reality of this illusion. Take this moment. For you it has already sped by. And yet this moment is indestructible and still is! In every moment if you can experience, the illusion of ‘now’ and ‘here’ you have found the road to change.

How will you experience this illusion? The illusion is that you are sitting ‘here’ and ‘now’. The reality is that the Spirit and its extension to you as Soul is experiencing the process of growth through the illusion of ‘now’ and ‘here’. If your partner would turn around and give you a hard pinch…… we ask you all to do that. Pinch your partner as hard as you can. (Everyone did that).  Did you all feel the pain? What you experienced is the illusion of ‘now’ and ‘here’. Through this illusion look ‘within’. And do it with us. Did the ‘spirit’ even ‘encounter’ your pinch?  So is the pinch real? There is a conflict now in your mind. ‘The pain is very real but I know Jade Fire wants me to answer ‘No’’. (Laughter) If every moment you can laugh as joyously as you did now, about this conflict, every moment will gently release its hold of illusion and take you on to true realisation of self.

Are we asking you not to react and not to feel? That would be very naïve of us. But in every reaction and in every feeling, stop the moment. There is no Time. You can make that moment as long as your desire.  Stop the moment. Experience the full illusion of all feeling. And do not let that moment continue and move on, till the eye has turned inwards and searched for Self and been able to live as Self, even briefly. Then let the moment go.

 In the course of daily living can you do this instantaneously every time a situation arises? No you cannot. But you can make yourself aware by maintaining a small diary. Initially only the big situations and only the big reactions will go down in your diary. Become more aware of every moment and write down those situations briefly, so that at the end of the day, you can look at the illusion of all the situations. And then turn inwards. This diary will help you to be aware of the illusion as you live in it. Soon the awareness will become a ‘soul habit’ and the diary will become redundant.

How will you live when all around you others are caught in this illusion? And we ask ‘why does your Ego wish to be validated’? Why must another accept your truth for it to be accepted by you?

If you can, at every opportunity enlighten another, and if you cannot, without passing judgement on another, take the responsibility of this great task only for your Self. You are Self.
