Careful What You Ask For!
I recently commented that I was getting bored with the whole "blue flash" part of communicating with Elias' energy tone. I can validate that for me, I have been experiencing these blue dots for many years now. They are very clear, vivid, and UNsubtle. They always make me take notice of what I was just thinking, seeing, sensing, feeling, etc. It's a fun game actually. But recently I've been wanting more than just a dot. I know, careful what you ask for, you get what you concentrate on after all, yes?
Still, after having a nice tea with Defrene, Emmy, and Gert-Jan a while back I was struck by this new energy tone that was quite familiar. So much so, that I began to associate the "white/gold flash" I also experience with Defrene's energy. Still, I wanted more. So last week, in no uncertain terms I mentally SHOUTED "In plain English please!" every time one of those flashes occurs.
In other words, it's fine to have all these subtle essence energies hanging around us, communicating in terms we don't find intrusive or conflicting, but I am now ready for more. "In plain English please!"
Several mornings ago, I had a lucid dream where I was lying in a dream bed, and I started hearing words in my head coming right through my crown energy center. They were crystal clear, and in a female voice. The sentences actually made sense, and that startled me so much that I woke me up! For many years, I have observed words forming on various dream surfaces (walls, tiles, fences, doors, etc.) and attempted to read and remember them. But this was "In plain English!" And audible to boot.
I was pissed that I was startled out of the dream state. Well, I asked for it and got it, but couldn't handle it. And then I just had to laugh! The joke's on me. As I mulled over this brief energy exchange, I realized the wisdom of Elias' little "blue dot" game for now, because it's what most of us can handle without thinking we're losing our minds.
In hindsight, that clear channel opening up and just pouring through my head with information startled my dreaming self-sense into a state change. Imagine how my waking, more contracted, ego would react! And yet, I realize as Jane Roberts points out over and over, we are neurologically wired and ready. We've just learned to ignore those avenues of communication and they've atrophied.
This is also a small example what this postmodern evolutionary shift is all about. It's what Elias calls widening awareness, but it won't happen on any mass scale without the potential for trauma, hence his agenda to lessen "the trauma of the shift" in offering his information.
I now have a better sense of what this trauma may potentially involve through this brief, but direct experience. If we look at the world's population, all six-plus billion, in terms of general acorn-sapling-tree stages of development, then according to current estimates some 70% are still at traditional, religious, superstitious stages. 70%!! If all of a sudden people are hearing voices, seeing dead people, accessing reincarnational memories, vast libraries of experience, etc. they will interpret, translate their experiences from these prerational, superstitious STAGES or centers of worldview gravity (thinking of the Wilber-Combs matrix).
The results are unpredictable ranging from apocalyptic, suicidal, genocidal energies across the Mid-East and fundamentalist areas of North, Central, and South America and Europe to some kind of awakening, remembrance, and renewed vitality. Obviously, we all hope for the latter, but have to take Elias' "trauma" seriously. Some people have criticized Elias for this part of his teaching, claiming it's unnecessary and puts the focus on trauma. I now realize that it does just the opposite and those critics mostly deny, repress, and marginalize ("human ostrich syndrome") the potentials of trauma as we collectively deal with the mounting pressures of this shift, like a fault before an earthquake.
As the saying goes, "Careful what you ask for, you just may get it!" But that doesn't mean repress, deny, and marginalize all thoughts of potential trauma. It means make them conscious, bring them into awareness where the light of consciousness will dispel the shadow elements that have the potential to play out AS trauma.
There's a wonderful article in the February Sethnet Journal by Paul Levy that explores the Jungian shadow in a way we can relate to Elias' potential for trauma of the shift. Essentially, it points out how beliefs in evil, and thus evil as a physical construction, are the result of repressed and fragmented shadow elements projected onto others. Jung saw how this played out in the collective unconscious in terms of mass events like genocide, witch hunts, ethnic cleansing and the like. So this potential for trauma or evil is quite legitimate in my view, and something we need to better understand in light of our widening and opening to new avenues of communication.
As such, learning to hear our inner voices speak "In plain English please!" may go a long way to help lessen that trauma. But we need to be sure that we are widening awareness or transforming into higher stages of development with the cognitive, emotional, moral, spiritual, etc. capacity better interpret those inner communications symbolically and not as the literal world of God, Archangels, or whatever. NWV Forums like the Inner Visions Journal, Seasons of the Soul (It's Midwinter), Seth Material Coursework, and Psychic Naturalists all provide avenues to explore and develop our inner abilities, and share what works and what doesn't so others can learn.
