The Religious Wave, Changing a Relationship, The "Blink!"

Thursday, December 15, 2016

LAWRENCE: Good morning.

JULIE: Good morning Lawrence.

LAWRENCE: And we welcome you again.

JULIE: Thank you. Okay, I've prepared a list of questions here, so I’m looking forward to discussing them with you. First thing, are you in tune with the waves of consciousness in the same way that Elias is?

LAWRENCE: In what manner do you mean 'in tune'?

JULIE: I understand that some essences have certain focuses, focal points or things that they discuss and so I wasn't sure if that's a topic that you tune in to and discuss with people.

My question is, is the religious wave coming to a close?

LAWRENCE: Very well. In actuality, these waves do not end. It is more that a wave is similar to a step. A step in the direction of your shift. And there is an increased intensity within the wave and an accentuation within the blueprint on the main intent of the wave. And in your present religious wave, to begin, it is not predictable when the wave will end, for that is a choice that is made by your collective consciousness. Therefore, it is your choice when the wave ends, so to speak.

JULIE: I knew you'd say that!

LAWRENCE: I would express that there is a significant probability in the present moment that this religious wave may extend for quite some time, possibly a year or so of your timeframe. This has been, as you are aware, quite a powerful wave and as a result, like other waves, will have a permanent effect upon you, for that is the purpose of these waves.

However, this wave is particularly challenging to many, and it also incorporates other aspects besides attention. And therefore I would express that it is likely you will choose not to end the wave so soon, for there is still much experience to be gathered in this wave and considerable evolution of your consciousness in that.

JULIE: Elias said this wave is helping us to shine and sparkle and express ourselves, go for our dreams, express who we are. Is that one of the benefits? For me it has been, it's kind of amazing. I don't even care if it is! It's been good.

LAWRENCE: I would agree, in that, many individuals, particularly those who understand this wave, understand that it is a wave and many individuals are unaware. For those individuals it can be quite empowering, for there is significant energy being expressed in this.

JULIE: And for those who are having more difficulty, what would be your suggestion? To ride the top of the wave instead of being pulled by it or pushed by it?

LAWRENCE: I would simply express that the most comfortable way to experience this religious wave is to be more accepting of others, to be more accepting of yourself and, of course, to be noticing what you pay attention to, for that is a strong element in this.
And these are simple ideas, however they are quite central to what the wave is intending to accomplish.

Many individuals are feeling discomfort in this wave because they are not accepting of change. They are not accepting of others expressing their individuality in the way that they choose and that is a significant component in their discomfort. Change, as I have expressed, is challenging to your species and this religious wave involves a great deal of that.

JULIE: That kind of moves into another one of my questions. I was talking to Ayla the other day, and one of her main intents is 'simplicity'. I was wondering if you could describe the most simple way to create our most fulfilling reality for each of us, which is in line with the desires of the self; of the genuine self.

LAWRENCE: The desires of the genuine self are expressed in all that you do regardless of how you may evaluate your experiences. The genuine self is less concerned with duplicity. It is wanting of certain experiences and there is desire in that, therefore there is preference.

I would express that, in that, for individuals to be allowing their genuine self to fulfill those desires, it is more a matter of recognizing those desires. Recognizing that you do have a genuine self that wants to expand in certain areas, wants to experience in certain ways and acknowledge that. And more than acknowledge that, perhaps make choices that are in harmony with your genuine self.

And you do know what your genuine self wants. It is that little voice that is telling you what you would like to do but you do not do because you have responsibilities to others, because society would not appreciate you doing so. In other words, many guidelines and beliefs that are perhaps cluttering your vision of what your genuine self would like. Therefore, quite simply, it is a recognition of your genuine self and allowing that to express itself. And the more you do so, the more ease you will have in doing it again. The 'genuine self' is you.

JULIE: My description of my most simple way, is to be present in the now moment. Being aware of, almost like “what's my next step in the moment?”. What's the most attractive thing to do next, or what has the most interest for me or importance and kind of being in a step by step, very present way of being. And letting my feelings guide me that way because it's not a strong feeling, but there is usually a feeling associated with that next step. A small feeling, a very gentle feeling of 'yes' or 'no'.

LAWRENCE: I am understanding and presence is, of course, conducive to allowing you to view more choices; to allowing you to be aware of the direction your genuine self would like to go in. It IS a very important tool for you. It is in fact, your natural state. It is an aspect of your natural state; presence. And because of that, when you are in presence you are more your genuine self than you are at other times.

JULIE: Okay. I think so! This is a question that came up, I listened to one of my friends talking with Elias about her marriage relationship and she's wondering whether to stay in her relationship or whether it would be better to dissolve the relationship and move on. And Elias said that both herself and her partner had been growing this whole time and it's probably a twenty-year relationship or something. And they've both been growing and changing, but that they have this view point of the relationship as not changing, that they kind of view it as what it always was. And so it's kind of stagnated. It's like they each changed and grew but the relationship did not grow with them. And she's been thinking a lot about leaving, dissolving that relationship. I guess it seemed to me that Elias was implying that it actually is possible to change that relationship to reflect the two new people that they have become.

It was more like an automatic response that they didn't change their view of their relationship. They felt that it is the same old thing, and they didn't allow that relationship to grow with them.

So my question, and I am kind of curious as I am thinking about my own relationship with my husband, is whether it would be now possible after twenty years to actually allow that relationship to grow to reflect the new people that they both are. Would that be more difficult than actually dissolving the relationship? Because in a way, dissolving the relationship is difficult and so changing the relationship, I wonder how would that be? And is that a possibility?

LAWRENCE: Very well. To begin; a relationship is not a static thing. It is not a thing. A relationship is the manner in which two individuals see each other, interact with each other and share their commonalities. It is not so much that it is a thing that can be changed to suit the two individuals at any arbitrary point in time. It is a product of the interactions with the two individuals; and the relationship may be what you consider 'good' or 'bad' or 'indifferent' depending on how the individuals interact.

Now; accommodation can, of course, be made, as well as not just accommodation, but one or both individuals can assess their participation in the relationship and choose to, for example, express in ways that are more in harmony with the other partner; that they express about subject matters that have greater commonality between the two; that they engage in activities that both partners enjoy. And those are the aspects, and others, of a relationship, that makes it a relationship.

When two individuals have been in a close relationship, a partnership, for an extended time, it may happen that the relationship becomes stronger, for if both individuals evolve and their interests change in a way that increases their commonalty or, perhaps, simply maintains the commonality, then the relationship will likely be maintained.

Now; your question is, given the relationship in which perhaps some of these commonalities have been diminished, and the common interests have been diminished and other aspects of that; and is it possible to restructure the relationship so that it becomes, in your manner of thinking, 'better'. That is to say that there is more sharing of experiences and more enjoyment of each other's company, quite simply.

And I would express that, although this can be accomplished, if either or both individuals feel that they must force themselves to move in a direction that they would not want to otherwise for the sake of the relationship, that this is not the basis for a continuing relationship, or at least, not the basis for improving the relationship.

If one individual genuinely feels that yes, they can change their interests or they can acquire new interests that are shared by the partner, then definitely, this is something that can be pursued.

You are each your own beings. You are each separate essences, both common and separate. Within your focus, each of you are expressing very specific aspects of your essence. And each of you has specific intents in that focus and specific interests you have developed. And for either of you, or both of you to alter that in a way that is not in harmony with yourself, not in harmony with your genuine self, again, that is not the basis of an improved relationship.

And I would further say that, and this is not to diminish the importance of relationships, for relationships are extremely important. It allows two individuals to share, to have a feeling of affection for each other, to help each other. A relationship is very significant. There is no doubt about that.

However, in your society, you have very strong and distorted beliefs about what a relationship should be. Whether that relationship should have permanence, particularly in a marriage, and these beliefs often lead individuals to force themselves to remain in the relationship. Attempting to force themselves to alter their interests, and this simply causes more conflict. It is an aspect of your belief systems about relationships. Relationships could be much more flexible and there would be much more harmony in that.

Have I answered your question?

JULIE: Yeah, I think I was coming from the viewpoint of the relationship actually being more flexible, where no one would have to compromise or change, or force themselves or anything, but that actually it's possible to change the perception of what a relationship is so that it could grow and change too.

I am kind of working out my own ideas about this thing, after I heard Elias talking about it. So I thought I would kind of run it by you.

LAWRENCE: I would agree that if the perception of the relationship is changed, that does or could make for a more harmonious relationship. It reduces the expectations that the partners have on each other. And more importantly, the partners would recognize that each of them individually have their own choices and they would be allowing of the other partner to make those choices and they would not feel betrayed. They would not feel like their partner is drifting away. A broader definition of what a relationship is, a more flexible definition of a relationship would definitely be more conducive to a more lasting relationship.

JULIE: Okay, thanks.

This is one of my most interesting, favorite topics that I haven't really discussed it with you yet, so I am interested in the blinking of our physical reality. It blinks on and off, this is according to Seth and Elias and even some of the mystical traditions that I've been studying for a while. There's a philosophy behind it that I've actually experienced it too; that you can actually experience physical reality blinking on and off. And within each blink, an entirely new physical reality is created, slightly different than the previous one because there is never redundancy. And what this blink is, is our experience of physical realty from moment to moment. And I'm sure you know that.
I'm curious if you have any comments about that right now, and then I might have another question about it.

LAWRENCE: Very well. This blinking is an aspect of your multiple threads of consciousness within your focus. Your multiple, probable selves within your focus.
And of course, as you are aware for the most part, most individuals aren't aware of the blinking. They are unaware of the discontinuity from moment to moment. Again, because of the simultaneous aspect of experience, all such individual moments, the blinks, they all occur simultaneously. It is your aspect of time within your dimension that threads these moments together in a particular sequence for you to experience in that way.

You may continue.

JULIE: I kind of had this idea, that it's actually our own... an aspect of ourselves that creates the story, creates a back story, a memory of what happened which is what our expression is linear time, is that correct?

LAWRENCE: Your memory is an expression of your accepted path in 'past'. It is your concept of your past in any given moment.

JULIE: So you said that the blinking is the expression of our various probable selves. That is what Bashar says, that every moment we're creating a slightly different version of ourselves and a slightly new universe, because always self and universe go together. Whatever universe I'm experiencing corresponds with my sense of self that I'm creating in a complementary manner. That's my understanding. Do you have anything to say about that?

LAWRENCE: Yes, I agree. You create your universe, you create all of your physical environment and in each one of those moments, you express yourself differently, for that is how you move. That is how you create new experiences, is moment to moment. And each moment is, therefore, different from the last moment in possibly very subtle ways and possibly not so subtle ways. And it is simply that for the most part, you are unaware of the transition from one moment point to another.

JULIE: Yes and I've been very interested in becoming more aware of that transition more of the time. So would you agree, as Bashar says, that it's possible to experience larger differences? He said that each of these moment points, or different probable selves or probable realities, which is the same thing, and that it's possible to experience larger differences and that would be what we consider to be teleporting or also you might consider to be instantaneous manifestation.

LAWRENCE: Yes, it is aspects of all of those things. What it is, it is a greater discontinuity in your perception. Again, it always comes down to your perception. Your perception is everything you experience, no matter how that is brought about. And it is possible for you to have greater flexibility with your perception and we did discuss this at some point recently, with your experience of walking and then discovering that you were suddenly at another location without memory of intervening time to arrive there and that was such a moment for you.

There is no limitation on that. Again it is a matter of how flexible you are with your perception, with allowing these experiences to occur, for they do in a sense violate the intent of the blueprint. Not that that is going to bring your world to an end. It is, simply put, would be a challenge for many individuals. I would express that that is an excellent exercise for you to engage in. It does significantly increase your facility to work with your perception.

And these topics of teleportation and time travel and instant manifestation, they are all the same. It is all exactly the same thing. It is exactly what you expressed. It is adjusting your perception to a different configuration in a more granular manner, rather than in small increments, which is what typically you engage in.

JULIE: Yes. Okay! So going back to violating the blueprint. That immediately bothers me to hear that word 'violate'. I know that Seth said, that after the shift we will understand this. Elias actually said it too, I talked about it with him. We will understand this, although we won't actually always be doing it, that we will know it.

LAWRENCE: Let me address to my use of the words 'violate the blueprint'. That was not intended to say that there are consequences to stepping outside of the blueprint. I merely was expressing that the blueprint as it currently is has strong inhibitions to actions such as you have described, in changing your perception in large increments. There is, in actuality, no such thing as violating the blueprint. Nothing is actually being violated. It is simply that your perception is affected by the blueprint significantly, and has a propensity to adhere to the guidelines in the blueprint as to how you may experience or not experience your reality. And as you do shift and become greater in your awareness, you also will be changing your blueprint.

As I have said, the blueprint is not a static thing, it is continuously changing. Every time any individual takes a particular action or makes a particular choice, that is a change to the blueprint.

JULIE: Okay!

LAWRENCE: And yes, your blueprint will be changing in the direction in which, shall we say, is more allowing of those kind of actions. That is not to say that the blueprint will dispense with or eliminate a strong sense of linear time and incremental experiences in the moment. That will continue. For again that is an aspect of this dimension that is quite core to that. While yes, you're quite right, there will be more flexibility in that.

JULIE: Yes. Well, I've come to realize that after all this experimentation that I actually do appreciate the incremental nature that we normally create within, so I have a new appreciation for it.

LAWRENCE: Very well, for it can feel uncomfortable as you have discovered to engage in these activities because it is not in harmony with your blueprint, quite simply. And you, as a being in this focus, in this dimension, with the blueprint as it is, have a strong affinity to that.

You have a strong sense of connection to the blueprint. It is your home while in this focus. And when you take actions that strongly deviate - perhaps you like deviate more than violate - deviate from the blueprint, then you will feel discomfort, for you are disconnecting yourself to some degree from the blueprint. This is not to discourage you from experimenting with this, it is merely and explanation for your discomfort.

JULIE: Well, I also find it empowering to know that I can do that so that I'm never locked in to any situation. I wanted to bring up an example. I've told this story and Nuno knows it. My son got a ticket for drinking in public and I didn't want him to have to go through the whole thing of court but also I didn't want to go through it myself and so I wasn't trying to control his reality, but I didn't want to hassle myself. I don't really agree with the judicial system at all and the system of punishment and so using my knowledge of my whole self and the knowledge of the blink and that we can actually shift and create different realities, I acknowledged all that to myself, that I could actually create a more pleasant outcome for everyone. After that, I had the idea, well, you know anything can happen, I just want a pleasant outcome. It's possible that the ticket could even be lost. So when we showed up at court on his court date, the ticket had actually been lost and there was no case and we all went home.

And I was pretty amazed by that, and my interpretation is that I did choose a different probable reality by knowing that I could. Like a different probable reality than the projected one, than the normal one that was being projected.

LAWRENCE: Yes, and you did. You made your choice and moved in that direction and there is nothing in this that you should feel uncomfortable about. You cannot change the reality of anther individual, be it your son or any other. Your reality is yours and their reality is theirs. You may engage them in YOUR reality in different capacities, different aspects of them, different probable aspects of them, in any given experience. And I would say to you that you are very accomplished in these actions of deviating from what would normally be expected, and I would very much encourage you to do so and continue to do so in whatever manner you find useful to yourself, in whatever manner makes you most comfortable.

JULIE: Okay. I agree! (Chuckles) So I believe that I did access a probable version of my son and everybody involved. That was an agreement. I wasn't just creating this whole thing from my own perception, although I am. But I am also in conjunction with others who... I'm accessing a probable version of them that agrees with it, rather than trying to force them to be a certain way or force my perception because I don't want to experience something. Does that make sense?

LAWRENCE: Precisely. And again, this concerns the subject of interactions with others with regards to your perception.

And when you interact with another individual, you draw from their energy. And it is their energy you are drawing from. It is not that you are synthesizing their appearance and their expression. It is that you are drawing from their energy the aspect of them that most closely matches what you are expressing.

In other words, they are reflecting to you what most closely matches what you are expressing. And that's what you are experiencing in this example. You drew to yourself the expression of the court officials and others which were involved in this experience in a way that suited what you were intending to accomplish. But you did draw their energy. You simply drew an aspect of their energy that, shall we say, is not what some other individual in your particular position at the moment would have drawn, for they would have had strong expectations that the outcome would have been quite different and therefore they would've drawn from the energy of the others involved a quite different aspect of that.

JULIE: Yes, I kind of see a big cooperative dance, where everyone's playing their part, depending on how I choose to project my energy. Everyone... it's a cooperation with their energy, or they stay out of it but that they always reflect what I'm projecting in a cooperation.

LAWRENCE: I would express that it is not so much a matter of cooperation, it is more a matter of each individual has many, many, many aspects to them and to an individual, let's say yourself as you proceed in your focus, it appears to you that you make very definitive choices. That you go in a very definitive direction and you have very definitive experiences and you express to others in a very definitive way. However that is simply one thread of you, and you have many other threads and you have many other aspects. You could have expressed yourself, let us say to an individual a different way and that expression would still be consistent with you. Consistent, in that it faithfully reflects what you are but it is not what you chose to express. However another individual interacting with you, COULD choose that alternate expression. It IS an expression of you, for it is faithful to what you are. But it is not necessarily the choice that YOU recognized in your reality. In their reality, they interact with a different aspect of you, a different choice of yours that perhaps you did not make. Are you understanding?

JULIE: Are you pointing out how it's highly individualized, and that we can choose from the aspects of others that match us and that it might not actually be and agreement?

LAWRENCE: This aspect of agreement; the agreement is made when you entered this dimension as a focus and the agreement is that you operate in this manner and the agreement is the other individual can draw from you in whatever way they choose.

JULIE: Okay, yeah, that makes sense to me. We could do that either consciously or unconsciously.

LAWRENCE: You are always conscious. You can do that either being aware or not aware.

JULIE: Yes, okay. Yeah. Okay, so I'll tell another story. This happened last month. I created another surprise creation for myself. I was at home pleasantly going about my business and it was a snowy day. The roads were very slippery and my son had gone out and he was driving to Boulder. He was driving on dangerous roads and I got a phone call, it was a local number, so I answered it and the person on the other line... what happened, this was all a scam but I did not know it but I was totally believing it because of the situation of the roads. But they told me my son had rear ended someone, that he had rear ended a gang member and that his father had come and they had kidnapped my son and that they needed some money for medical bills because my son had hurt this gang member and they couldn't take him to the hospital. This whole thing, which was super surprising to me because I don't create stuff like that usually! It's so odd and anyway. But because of the conditions of the road that that it seemed kind of plausible at the time, I went into the story for like ten minutes and I was upset, I was crying, I was also present with myself. Actually listening to the guy, witnessing and making choices as best as I could in the moment and so then I came to a realization at some point, just really listening to him, that it actually was a scam and that there was nothing happening and that my son was fine. And so, immediately, I hung up on him and I called my son, who happened to be in cellphone range then, and so everything was okay.

But for like ten minutes, I went into this alternate universe where I'm talking to thieves who are trying to scam me and steal my money, get me to come and meet them and give them money for a medical bill so I would get my son back and that's kind of a shocking thing and really interesting too because everything is okay in the end, and interesting how I created that scenario and believed it for a little while.

So I was curious, previously in the morning I had read an article about a pedophile ring and I usually don't even feel drawn to stuff like that, but I had read that article because a friend had recommended it and I was curious if those two things were connected together. Like me projecting energy about the pedophile ring then like couple hours later, experiencing the scenario with my, you know, the imagined scenario about my son and being extorted for money.

How was my energy involved in that?

LAWRENCE: Your energy is involved in that, in that you created the experience and the question, perhaps then, is how did you come to that point in which this is what your perception was generating for you.

To begin; yes. Your attention to these criminal aspects with that story and your concern for your son's safety did combine to create that experience. That is the simple answer. Is there another aspect of this you wish to ask about?

JULIE: The fact that it was so dramatic (Laughing) theatrical dramatic. Why did I need that overkill to get the point? Or is my awareness really very sensitive so that I create these big dramas that disappear just as quickly? I mean that dramatic aspect was something that struck me too.

LAWRENCE: It was dramatic as you put it. It was an intense experience yes. Let me explain that, as you are aware, you are quite accomplished in creating your experience. That is to say, you are quite accomplished in manipulating your perception in ways that exhibit exceptional flexibility. And I say this in relation to, shall we say, more common individuals. And because of that, because of your practiced and well established flexibility with your perception, you are also in a sense, I would use the word vulnerable, I am not meaning that in quite such a strong way. You are somewhat open to generating experiences of this kind more easily because of your flexibility with your perception. And this is not to be discouraging of you in continuing with that flexibility and expanding it. It is merely perhaps a caution that you can more readily fall into these situations because you more easily flow into them. That is not to say that it is inevitable that this will occur, for you are still learning to use this power with your perception and learning to adapt to your increase flexibility and perception. And this was, perhaps, an experience that highlighted to you, on one hand, how easily you do accomplish this, and on another level, a suggestion to you that you be more aware in the moment of what is occurring.

JULIE: Yes, okay! Makes perfect sense. Thank you.
Okay Lawrence, well I think our hour is up and I’ve really enjoyed the discussion. Thank you very much.

LAWRENCE: You are very welcome and we have much enjoyed our interactions with you and we wish you good day.

JULIE: Okay, good day.
