A gentleman named Simon has been presenting some very excellent questions to me lately. Most of them are from his reading of the Ringing Cedars Series but they are universal questions as well. As I was forming my answers to his questions I realized that I have been asked various versions of these questions many times.
Simon’s questions incorporate both the Ringing Cedars information and the information I teach about humanity becoming conscious of our role as (co)creator. So, I decided to post the questions and answers on this blog.
The next three or so blogs will be about Simon’s questions. Here is his first question where Vladimir was asking why all our desires aren’t manifested. It is followed by my answer.
As I said, I would quote ring cedars when I found the bit I was thinking of, anyway here it is. Its from - Who Are We – Your Desires- page 246 (in Original English Edition of book)“So much depends on how meaningful the goal is. on whether the desire corresponds to the light or the dark. On how strong the desire is. The more substantial and bright the goal the more the forces of light are drawn to fulfil it.”
there is a bit more but reading it in context would make more sense.
Also do you have a comment on another quote which came to mind when reading your down load (As A Man Thinks), “the love of money is the root of all evil”
I’ve broken down the phrases of the above quotes and included them in my answer.
“So much depends on how meaningful the goal is.” What determines meaningfullness? From the perspective of single consciousness, it would be based on how meaningful the goal is to you, the goal maker. For example, a goal to live in a big expensive home may have great meaning for one person but have less meaning for another who would also like to have a big expensive home but unconsciously gives more value to an easier or simpler life style.
From the perspective of single consciousness, a goal’s meaningfulness would be determined by what kind of experiences it supports and whether those experiences are also supported by other goals held by the same person. For example, a goal to get rich does not support any kind of experience by itself because the experience of “being rich” can be so varied. One can get rich in a day and be in poverty again in a few days, weeks or years. One can be rich and happy or rich and miserable, etc.
If I choose to get rich so that I can be happy, one aspect of the meaningfulness of such a desire is that I hold a belief that money is the source of my happiness. If I have another (conflicting) desire to become aware of myself as the (co)creator of my experiences, then I can not be fully aligned with the goal to get rich (because it would allow money to continue to be my source of happiness).
“…on whether the desire corresponds to the light or the dark.” Again, from the perspective of single consciousness, the dark might well be defined as “all thought that I hold that is against my joy and experience of God-Self awareness as Love and perfection.” The light might conversely be defined as “all thought that I hold that supports my joy and experience of God-Self as Love and perfection.”
For example, The thought or goal that I want to get rich so that I can be happy may be against my joy and recognition of God-Self as Love and perfection in this present moment. If one is wanting riches to bring happiness, then one may be currently feeling less than happy. Seeing riches as the way to happiness while one is currently feeling poor or denied wealth will resul in a future experience that will have to include some element of feeling poor or denied wealth. That could be seen as being against one’s joy.
If I desire to take from another because I have judged them (God-other) as undeserving or evil in some way, I am attempting to create something that is against my joy, and the resulting manifestation will also be against my joy.
“On how strong the desire is.” Again, that is determined by aligned thought. The more of one’s thought that is aligned with a desire the stronger the desire is. We have many unconscious desires that we ignore but their alignment is nevertheless critical to strengthening or weakening a desire.
A desire to be wealthy can be weakened by many conflicting desires. A child who is born to wealth is less like to have learned and accepted so many conflicting desires. A person who is not born to wealth will nearly always have MANY conflicting desires that weaken the desire to be wealthy. Often to the point that the desire is nothing more than a fairy tale-like wish. (Neither path is ultimately or morally better than the other.)
“The more substantial and bright the goal the more the forces of light are drawn to fulfil it.” Let’s first define “bright goals” as those which “increase Love in our experience.” Some ways that can occur are by increasing our ability to recognize Love, accept Love, be present with Love, or create Love.
From the perspective of single consciousness, the more a goal “increases Love in our experience,” the more it will be aligned with our other thoughts, beliefs and goals that support our joy and our God-Self awareness. We can feel that degree of alignment within and can see it very quickly in the outside world we exprience. If a goal supports the diminishing of Love in our experience, it can still manifest if the beliefs that are aligned against our joy are stronger than the beliefs that support our joy.
Therefore, how strong a desire is, would probably be determined by how many of your everday thougthts/beliefs are aligned with it.
All of that is mechanics of thought. There’s another level of awareness that is emerging world-wide in our generation, and it is supremely important. As the unconscious (co)creator of our experiences (which we have likely chosen in order to become conscious of self as (co)creator), we have been unconsciously giving strength to our thoughts/beliefs that are against our joy and our recognition of God-Self. We do that by passing judgment and naming people, forces or events ”evil” or “bad.” Everything named “evil” or “bad” exists against our joy, at least in our experience of Self.
Our creator role as God-Self allows us to consciously transform ANY experience, person or thought, to light and love simply by recognizing it as Love. i.e., a gift of Love; God fulfilling us with Love; a Message of Love; etc. That transformation can only be done consciously and each effort increases our ability to recognize love, receive love, be present with love and create love.
Anastasia called that the “fightless fight.” She was willing to take on any collective dark energy (against our human joy) simply by holding the truth in her mind along side the dark energy’s lie (that there exists something which is NOT God). Presumably that truth is that everything serves Love, including the dark energies; and that God had not created man in error or weakness but as the complete and full child of God, heir to God’s full domain. (All of that is mind activity!)
Regardless of what we UNconsciously believe or think that appears to be against our joy, as the children of God we all have, as part of our innate unconscious mind activity, the undiminishable desire to expand our capacity to experience Love, therefore no experience can exist that fails to move us closer to that goal.
We begin to consciously recognize that truth and allow that experience when we consciously create the recognition and the awareness of Love in events and people where we previously believed (or thought) that love did not exist.
“there is a bit more but reading it in context would make more sense.” I would like to point out a paragraph following the one you quoted here: Vladimir: “And if the goal is a dark one…?” Anastasia: “Then the dark forces take over — Man through his desire has given them the opportunity to act. But, as you can see, it is still Man’s desire that is first and foremost! Your desire, Valadimir.”
Desire is first experienced in the mind (thought) and defined and held with more thought. Desire in the mind gains strength by aligning more and more of our other thoughts (language/images/feelings) with that desire.
“Do you have a comment on another quote which came to mind when reading your down load (As A Man Thinks) “the love of money is the root of all evil” (I Timothy 6:10)
As I mentioned above, any time we have made money the source of our joy or happiness, we have created against ourselves. The resulting pereception of our experience will not be about Love. Evil would be one way to describe what we perceive as the absence of love. In truth, Love can never be absent. It can only be absent in our perception of our experience. Fortunately we are beginning to understand that we have the power to create our perception however we want it to be.
Money is an exchange of value, a substitute for value. It has no inherent value of its own. Loving that substitute for love occurs only when one has placed his power to create joy and happiness in the substitute rather than in his own being (Love), which is the true source of joy and happiness. There is a very big difference between loving wealth and loving money.
Wishing us all the very best we can imagine and speak,
