Phoenix Rising:
At the recent Lexington Lifescapes Event
you suggested a series of questions we could ask ourselves
aimed at helping us to specify what we want. Why would that
help your work? Doesn’t focusing on our dreams and desires
keep us in our humanity?
Samuel: It’s
a whole lot easier for the Universe to use you when you are
not scattered by overwhelm, depression, and physical illness,
when your human self doesn’t have to be in charge. And
one of the easiest things to keep the human self—meaning
your security issues—from being in charge is for you
to have enjoyment, happiness, and fulfillment somewhere in
your life. When you are happy, it’s probably because
you are successful, and when you are successful, it’s
probably because you are doing something that you came here
with the potential to do: getting along well with other people,
working easily in a skill or craft, laughing, feeling satisfied,
experiencing recognition. All of these things come together.
When you are doing things that were put into your blueprint
and show up as a skill or a talent—which is what brings
you happiness—then you are going to be doing what is
needed, and you are going to be allowing your spiritual self
to work without hindrance, at least in that area. That means
you are going to be able to feel fulfillment and satisfaction
and begin to want to put those into any areas in your life
that are out of balance. It’s all good for me, because
that means your spiritual work is going to blossom—at
least in that one area.
How can we distinguish between fulfillment and
selfish indulgence?
That’s a very good question, and it’s
a vital part of what Guardians need to be thinking about.
If you say, “I’m not going to be happy unless I
can go to the Michael Jackson memorial,” then, if it
is true that it’s the only thing that will make you happy,
I can assure you that when you go to that memorial your spiritual
self will touch in and make a difference. But in your everyday
experience, if you choose to do something that benefits only
you over something else, you need to look and see who benefits,
what are the fruits of this? When it’s all about you,
then you can pretty well guarantee that it’s probably
selfish and not benefitting the world as a whole.
Now, is there ever a place for “just
me”? Yes. When you are first awakening it’s very
helpful, because you need to develop yourself, you need to
learn to trust you; you need to learn what you need and what
you don’t need. I’ve spent fifteen years with some
of the highest-frequency Guardians on the planet, teaching
them to figure out what makes them happy and to do it.
The thing is, as Guardians evolve spiritually,
their concerns should stop being about what they need and
shift instead to the greater vision. Now, if you don’t
have a vision, then all you’re ever going to be able
to look at is yourself. Look instead at the greater vision,
look at the team you are here with, and ask, “How does
what I’m doing affect that?” When Guardians are
able to stop relating to the world through themselves—“I
need this; I want that”—that tells me that they’ve
made the vital leap that should have happened when 5:3:2 came
into effect.
Nonetheless, it’s still easy to create
excuses, to justify that “this thing I want isn’t
only about me because when I am happy it benefits the work.”
But it’s actually ego saying that. And by now most Guardians
that I work with are pretty clear about that: they know their
ego and they know its language, so they should also add that
test to their determination of what’s needed.
When you said there were skills and talents
put into our blueprint, did you mean the spiritual blueprint?
I meant the whole blueprint, which has a
physical part, a spiritual part, and a mental-emotional part.
It’s one blueprint with specific ways of expressing itself.
The blueprint is a totally form-based thing
that carries within it everything that is needed for a specific
life force to function at as high a level as possible. That
means that the physical and the mental/emotional and the spiritual
all have different but overlapping “specialties,”
and that blueprint, throughout your life, is going to direct
the issues that you regularly deal with as a means of drawing
to you what is needed for you to become the best you can be.
The spiritual blueprint says, more or less, Be whatever is
needed to reach your highest potential. For a Guardian, the
spiritual aspect of the blueprint is probably the simplest
and the loudest. Where many within the Guardianship are experiencing
a flow of much stronger, higher energy right now, that spiritual
blueprint is demanding, “More, more, more!” And
as the Guardian is beginning to become more of what it is
meant to be, there is an opportunity to direct the workings
of the human—or the Guardian—as to what its spiritual
component needs. The bottom line is, when any one section
of the blueprint is being worked on it’s going to influence
them all, but the spiritual blueprint has extra needs when
a certain level of spiritual progress is reached.
So, because Ellic energy is seeking a way to
go into form, our spiritual blueprint is pushing on us to
be the vessel . . .
Yes, it is.
. . . that that Ellic energy needs, but that’s
also going to include being the best we can be physically
and emotionally, because they all work together.
Absolutely. Spoken by one who has worked
through that. Yes.
You also said in that Lifescapes, it’s
all about frequency and the Entity in form, and that’s
what we’re working through at the moment. I imagine what
you meant was what we are working through right now. Please
explain what our Entity in form is working through and how
that is connected to the Ellic energy seeking form now.
All right, “What is your Entity in
form working through?”
Being the best it can be spiritually to express
itself in form.
Absolutely. You might ask instead, “Why
is the Entity working in form?” If the question is addressed
to Guardians who have compacted to come specifically for the
purpose of bringing about a transition of the planet and all
life force on it to a higher frequency, to guide and guard
that life force, if you are speaking to them it’s going
to be a different answer than if you’re speaking to mass
consciousness or the mineral world. So, if I am speaking to
a roomful of Guardians, as I was, what am I saying is the
answer there?
The big picture is that Source is finding out
what Source can be.
It’s to create a means by which Source
is capable of functioning in this world and returning back
to a greater whole. I do not often discuss that returning-back
part because it has little to do with the point. But it needs
to be remembered that that’s a part of it as well.
Why would Source even want to function through
form? Because it is a means of affirming creation.
How is Ellic energy’s functioning through
the Avataric Function Line connected to what our Entity is
working through?
As a whole, speaking to Guardians, particularly
high-frequency Guardians, the bottom-line answer is, because
you are Source, and when you know that, then Source is functioning
in the world. And everything that you do as Source-in-the-world
helps that process.
Through the years you’ve referred to the
Guardians at Phoenix as high-frequency beings, and given a
variety of techniques for raising our frequency. Now you’re
addressing that topic with even more urgency, especially with
regard to toning and health. It’s much easier to work
toward a goal if you can see progress along the way, but “high
frequency” is so abstract and subjective that it’s
very hard to recognize it. Can you give any suggestions for
picturing the goal more clearly, so as to be encouraged by
our progress and be motivated to strive for more?
You’ve got to remember, with questions
like that, that what is true for one is not necessarily true
for another, so there isn’t a blanket answer that says,
“When you see this, here is what you know.” Another
thing to remember is, recognizing spiritual proficiency does
not necessarily mean that you’ve got your world figured
out, so you cannot necessarily judge that “I get this,
so everything else is going to be all right.” Those expectations
will doom you to getting it but not being able to do anything
with it. You must be very careful with that.
The human self judges comparatively as a
means of assessing growth, so the human self thinks that’s
how the spiritual self should also be judged. And you really
can’t do that. It’s like asking you, “How do
you know when you are aware of Jupiter?” It’s very
hard to answer because it’s so outside of your consciousness:
“Oh, all right. Let me think now . . . Jupiter, planet,
solar system . . . well, because I’ve seen it in a book.”
According to your physical self, your spiritual
awareness is as unrecognizable as Jupiter. But as I have said
over and over, ideally you don’t notice your spiritual
self. And why is that? Because that is your truest self. So
ascribing a series of feelings to it is not going to be all
that accurate.
Nonetheless, there should be signposts along
the way. One of those signposts is that you begin seeing more
balance in your life without having to work at it constantly.
Another is that you realize you’re happier and more fulfilled,
not because everything is going as it should—chaos doesn’t
stop—but because you are detaching from human security
needs.
On another level, you might recognize that
the things you are thinking about happen faster. You might
notice that your awareness of life force is deeper than it
has been. You become more aware of what you’re thinking
and feeling, because there is a larger piece of you that’s
looking in, rather than so much of you looking out.
On yet another level, you may find yourself
remembering more quickly spiritual tools you have and putting
them to work more easily. That’s not to say you have
any control over the outcome of it, but that your spiritual
self is functioning more than your form-self, so the things
that have worked in your spiritual life come back to you.
Another signpost is that you stop spending so much time focused
on what you’re not doing, and you just do. And maybe
you look back later and realize you’re doing things you
never could have been doing a few years ago. You are trusting
naturally, and not getting obsessed about this or that.
Do these apply to everyone? No, it’s
different for you than it is for someone else. Biggest picture:
you know because every area of your life—the hidden ones,
the ones right at top—is in chaos and you are not totally
freaked out.
One of the things that I have noticed is that
challenges are no longer big dramas. They don’t suck
at my emotions anymore. It’s just, “Oh, there’s
a problem here. What are my options and how do I work this
through?”
That’s an excellent example.
You spoke at the Lifescapes about how perceiving
“out of time” helps us move out of the physical
and recognize things that are beyond our “humanity.”
This notion that time is only a matter of perception and that
the dimension of spirit is “outside of time,” and
if the human experiment is taking place, ultimately, within
the spiritual realm—by which I mean the physical is also
spiritual—why is there a limit to the time available
for it? Why can’t it just be allowed to spin out its
course at its own pace?
The spiritual self that functions here is
not all there is of the spiritual self. There is—by far—more
outside of here than there is here. The more you do to make
contact with that greater self, the less you will be limited
by your smaller self here. The greater self is not limited
by time, but the smaller self is. The soul of you—the
spirit in the form, physically speaking; the part that leaves,
if not right at, right around the time you die—that is
not the greater self. But that soul is limited in everything
that this dimension is limited to, and the only way you can
get beyond it is to connect in to the greater self.
So it’s because we are Guardians on the
transition team that have come to take part in that process,
and our “smaller selves” have a finite amount of
time to complete the task we came to do.
Exactly. Now, I think that you’re asking
more about the process of time with regard to why it is urgent
if it’s a spiritual thing.
Right.
The greater self doesn’t have the urgency,
because it’s not a greater-self problem. In the world
of form, there is coming a point that the experiment will
be over. And it’s not a spiritual experiment; it’s
a form experiment.
And it’s going to be over not because it
has been decided it will end, but because it is . . .
. . . played out. It is a wind-up toy, and
its spring is winding down. And there is nobody to wind it
up again when it stops.
So to stretch the metaphor a little bit: If
that toy has a purpose to serve before it winds down, it better
get its act in gear; it better do it.
If the completion of Sacred Status matters
to you, then it seems to me you would be doing everything
you can, with or without a construct of time. It wouldn’t
matter. You would just be doing everything you could.
Now, a quick aside: Does that mean that
you quit your job and start devoting all of your time to Phoenix?
Well, hmm. And you’re not David and Paula, who have already
done that.
We’re in a lucky situation.
Are you kidding me? Do you really think
that? Forgive the vernacular, but that is so not true. The
two of you have had to make some incredibly hard changes and
decisions. David, you have had to make choices that in effect
say, I’m going to give up the comfort of this place I
have always thought of as home.
I can’t say I did that for Phoenix, though.
Well, no, but you did it so that you could
function at your best. “Samuel, are you saying that good
solid relationships and not having a constant financial drain
and releasing personal issues and being willing to take steps
nobody else is taking is hard?” Yes, it’s very hard.
The two of you have done a lot to reach a point where you
can say, We’re not going to be able to buy the whole
world a drink, but we are comfortable enough that we can give.
And you’re at that point because you have turned your
lives—your human lives—upside-down to become the
kind of spirit that says, I can let go of that.
What does our attaining Sacred Status give back
to Source?
Individualized unity.
But Source is constantly gaining through all
the life force on this planet, whether we have a group soul
or individuated soul, so all of the wisdom that’s gained
is carried back to Source. What’s the difference if Sacred
Status all happens at once instead of individually? Is one
just a lot faster than the other? If the experiment “fails”
and we don’t reach Sacred Status before the allotted
time runs out, or we do, what’s the difference in the
big picture for Source?
Remember, there is so much more to the experiment
than simply your piece of it. In reality—Guardians aside—life
force is a very, very small piece of this greater experiment.
But all you can relate to is your piece of it. Again, Guardians
aside and just pretending that you are simple life force,
it’s understandable that you would ask such a question,
but what returns to Source is by far greater than your single
spark.
Humans are about to understand what they
call quantum mechanics, which is to say they are beginning
to understand cause and effect in a way that has not been
understood before. A hundred years ago, the very idea of quantum
mechanics just wasn’t on anyone’s mind, well, except
for a very few. Now your understanding of creation has much
more potential than it used to have, because now you realize
that you affect so much more than your own experience. Your
brain starts playing with that and you become so much more
because of what you have accessed, so that ultimately your
individual experience holds more potential because you have
accessed more reality. What you bring back to Source—life
force here now—has the greatest potential. The experiment
has always compensated, but has never attained. Now there
is an opportunity for attainment. If the attainment does not
come about at this level, it won’t come about, so there’s
no use in continuing it. It’s not succeed or fail, it’s
be . . . or not.
And what Source gains is greater Source.
