Germane:
All right. This is Germane.
The title of this tape is
MASTERING PERSONAL POWER. We are going to begin with a very
essential idea to understanding this whole concept. That is, that
personal power is not anything you need "master", as if it is
something you do not now have. Rather, it is something you already
possess. In that case then, instead of looking at it as mastering
something you do not have, look at it like remembering how to use
something which you already have.
Each and every one of you, being sparks of creation, are 100%
masters. You all know what it is like to exist, you all know how to
manipulate energy, you all know how to live to the fullest extent of
what you are capable of. This is something you needn't learn.
However, here comes the challenge.
Those of you who choose to incarnate in physical reality (especially
on a planet such as your Earth) have a bit of a challenge. Part of
the reason this Earth plane was set up for a learning school.
Because it is a learning school, obviously there must be challenges.
Recognize these challenges are put in place for all of you to
exercise your spiritual muscles, shall we say, for all of you to be
all that you can be, and for each and every one of you to learn what
there is to learn and to progress yourself and to grow, and to be of
service to others.
When you incarnate into this plane, there are a set of rules that
you (by your agreement to incarnate) must follow. Some of those
rules are quite obvious:
-
One is that you will adhere to the laws of
time and space. That is a fairly simple one. You all have that one
down quite well.
-
Another is that thought will take time to manifest
reality.
-
And another is that you will have a challenge of illusion
that will be the greatest challenge that exists for you.
As you
recognize illusion for what it is (illusion, and not reality), you
then begin to remember the mastery that you have from the other
realms. You cannot master personal power in physical reality while
maintaining the idea of illusion.
That is the challenge. For many of you do not know, really, what
illusion is and why it is there, and how you can see beyond it.
Assuming then that you are already masters, how do you reawaken that
mastery into your physical lives here on Earth? How do you see
beyond the illusion?
The easiest, easiest place to start is with
whatever obstacles you see in your life. If you look at the idea of
your spiritual mastery, your personal power, as being channeled
through to you from a funnel, the obstacles are those things that
clog the funnel.
Once that funnel is clogged for any period of time,
you forget that the funnel is there. You forget that that personal
power energy is always channeling through. Therefore, those
obstacles take on the form of illusion. They are confusing for you.
They are like mirrors placed askew in many different directions,
confusing you and directing you, and using reflections rather than
reality until you are looking in any direction except the direction
of the funnel - the direction of your personal power.
Recognize that when you come into physical reality, there is a
structure, a portion of your consciousness, which is a facilitator
for your lives here in physical reality. You call that portion of
you "ego".
Now the ego is a neutral thing. It doesn't have to be a
positive or negative thing. It is a neutral idea. It is a regulator.
It is a facilitator. However, when too much power is given to that
ego, that is when the ego becomes imbalanced. That's when illusion
begins to form.
That's when many of you have called the "negative
ego" comes into play.
Somewhere in the development of the ego (for many of you, not for
all of you), when you've been faced with challenges which were meant
to strengthen you, they were misconstrued into being fears that
threaten you. And the first time that happened in your life is when
the obstacles begin and illusion begins being formed. Prior to that
time, you as souls incarnate on Earth are in your mastery.
Now one may say,
"Well, how can a little child be in their mastery?"
Recognize that if we are talking about infants, they do not have the
motor skills to move their body in order to manipulate reality. This
does not mean they are not masters. It simply means they are not yet
developed in their motor skills.
But the soul energy at that time
that is being expressed onto the physical plane is entirely
connected with that personal power. It is only when the ego is
allowed to begin protecting you from your fear rather than guiding
you to confront your fear, it is only until that point that mastery
ends (so to speak) and illusion begins.
Now we are talking about a period of time very, very early in your
development as a human. It can happen literally from the first few
months of life. Or, the ego creation of illusion to protect you from
your fears may not happen until after several years of life. It is
really different for each person.
However that is the point that you
can trace back where the ego has begun building illusion and facade
to protect you from perceived threats. It is at that point where the
mastery of the personal power begins to take a back seat, and
survival begins to take a front seat. This does not have to occur
this way. It has simply been a good way of coping for thousands of
years.
You then taught your children, and your children taught their
children, etc., until you've forgotten that each soul comes in as
masters.
If you could remember that, if you could begin teaching your
children that and truly believing it (not pretending to believe it),
you will find that your attainment of personal power would be more
rapid, more complete, more easy, and with a lot less struggle.
We are going to give you an analogy here, given to us by a good
friend, that can demonstrate how the ego works to keep you from
claiming your personal power. Here is the analogy. Let us say that
you have a mother and a daughter. The daughter decides that she
would feel more comfortable with a gun in the house, because there
have been break-ins in the neighborhood.
So she goes out and buys
herself a fancy little pistol. She is very impressed with the
beautiful handiwork of the pistol. She come home and she is very
proud.
At this point, she has not really put the bullets in yet. So she has
not felt the power that she has in her hand. But she is toying with
the idea. She has the bullets in a little box and they are in the
bag with the gun. So, she comes home.
Her mother is there and she
says,
"Mother! Look! I bought this gun so that we will feel safe and
so we can protect ourselves."
The mother looks at the gun with wide
eyes, and then looks back at the daughter and says,
"Are you sure
that you can handle that? Are you sure that you know how to shoot?
Are you sure that you are not going to accidentally kill someone with
that?"
Suddenly, the daughter's reality begins to shift. She starts
questioning her own power. She starts questioning whether she really
can handle that gun. And right then and there she certainly decides
that she is not putting any bullets in it.
So she keeps this gun around for a few days without the bullets in
it. Every once in a while she picks it up and she plays with it. But
there is a little bit of a sick feeling in the solar plexus.
There
is a little voice that says,
"Are you sure that this was the right
decision?"
One day, she goes into the kitchen and her mother is standing there.
She says,
"Mother, I know that you took shooting classes when you
were young. And I know that you feel comfortable around a gun. So I
would like to give you this gun and I would like you to use this gun
if we ever have an intruder. I would like you to use this gun,
because I don't feel that I really have the knowledge it takes, nor
the confidence it takes to carry this weapon."
So, the mother takes the gun, puts the bullets in it, and puts it in
the drawer.
For a few days, the daughter feels quite secure. But
then every once in a while she keeps eyeing that drawer, knowing
what is in that drawer, knowing that the GUN is there - this power
that is now out of her hands because she is too afraid to use it.
Day after day, she checks on that gun to make sure it is still
there.
One day, it is not in the drawer. In that day, she begins to be
worried. She begins to harbor fantasies that her mother has taken
the gun and has hidden it so that if she ever needs it, she won't be
able to find it. Therefore, the symbol of power that she has chosen
has been given away and is now hidden, and she doesn't know where to
find it.
You can see that there are a lot of different endings to this story,
if one could say there ever is an "ending".
However, as long as the
daughter worries about the mother's motivation with her symbol of
power, as long as the daughter does not ask for the gun back, she
will leave her security, her confidence, and her personal power in
the hands of another.
As each and every one of you are growing up, especially women and
little girls, you are taught that power is a dangerous thing...and
if you have power, you'd better darn know what to do with it.
Otherwise, do not ever, ever, ask for it. So you grow up and you go
out into the world, and suddenly you realize that all the "weapons"
or all the tools (which ever way you want to look at it) that were
symbols of your own power, your own confidence, your own strength,
are not present with you any more. You open the tool box and it is
empty.
The reason for this is because you've given it to other
people to wield for you. You've never allowed yourself to train
yourself with those tools so that you could feel confident and so
that you can then stand fully empowered.
This is the dynamic which humankind is now facing.
Not only are you
trying to get your power back, but more importantly (and the first
step), you are trying to find where you put it! Or, who has it.
Because if you have no idea where it is and why you gave it away to
begin with, how can you ever seek to claim it back?
So mastering personal power, first and foremost, is recognizing what
it is in you that caused you to give it away in the first place.
-
Is
it fear?
-
Is it self-hatred?
-
What is it?
And when you can begin to
understand that, the answer will come as to who has your power.
For instance, let us say that once you discover why you've given it
away, then you look at who has it, you may find many different
answers. Your government may have it. Your religion may have it.
Your husband or wife may have it. Your society may have it. You
teachers may have it. In fact, anyone and everyone may have it other
than you.
When you begin to see to whom you've given your power and
why, you will learn a tremendous amount about yourself. And we would
suggest before you ever seek to gain personal power, first discover
where you've put it. Because otherwise, you will not know how to
recognize it. Therefore if you can't recognize it, you can't claim
it.
Once you then have identified where you've put it, you can then seek
the means to claim it back.
Each of you will do this differently. We
can give you certain techniques etc..., but recognize that each person
will go along the path differently. However, we absolutely guarantee
you that when you discover who you've given the power to and why,
you will be "over the hill" - you will be at the top of the hill.
The rest will be downhill.
The analogy we gave you at the beginning about the funnel that is
connected to you through which your personal power filters, and the
obstacles or illusions that get stuck there which cause you to
forget that you have it, is very similar to this idea.
Meaning that
another way of look at it is to look at that funnel and see what
form those obstacles take. For instance, if those obstacles take the
shape of constant problems with the government, then that is going
to tell you that you've given your power in that direction - to the
government.
If those obstacles take the form of continued abusive relationships
for instance, then that will point you in the direction that you
have given your power to another person in your relationships -
therefore you are powerless in relationships, hence, abuse.
So in order to find out what it is, how you create those obstacles,
look at first what they are. What form do they take in your life?
Examine your life with a fine tooth comb.
What is the common theme?
Those are going to represent the obstacles or the illusions that are
distracting the flow of your own personal power which is always
there, distracting you from knowing you have it, and keeping other
people as the holders of your power.
Understand that. Know that. And
when you can identify that, you can very actively and fully begin
taking your power back.
Before we go further, are there questions or clarifications on what
we've said?
Question: Yes. I got the impression that giving up this power, or
giving it away or hiding it, was a prerequisite for third-density
[physical] Earth experience. Is that a correct interpretation of
what you were saying?
This game that you play of hide and seek with your personal power is
part and parcel of the game of third-dimensional reality, yes.
Question: I've been using the video arcade analogy in my own mind
recently. Before we came into the arcade we had to give the power
away and now we are standing at the video game trying to find who we
gave it to.
Yes. And if you can't find who you gave it to, and own that you gave
it away, the actual claiming of it and mastering of it will be a lot
more difficult.
Question: This reclaiming of personal power is obviously one
essential step in the transformation from third density to fourth.
For comparative purposes, so that we can perhaps view this from a
little different perspective, could you briefly describe the
condition of personal power as it exists in fourth density?
Let us rephrase the question, and you tell us if this is what you
mean. As opposed to what we've just discussed about what is
occurring on your planet now with giving away the power, you want to
know where you are moving toward as personal power begins to be
claimed? What is it going to look like?
Question: Yes. That is a good start.
In some ways, it is going to be very, very alien to you now because
most of you are used to giving away the power. However, we will do
our best to describe for you (at least generally) what it will be
like.
First of all, essential to claiming personal power is 100% ownership
of everything that happens in your reality. So if you are in a car
accident, if someone has embezzled from you, whatever, any situation
that has come into your reality must be 100% owned. In the
transition that you are moving toward now (the transition that we
call the transition from third to fourth density), you are going to
find that in that fourth-density framework, everyone will be totally
self-responsible for their lives.
We are talking literally about an
entire shift. It means you will no longer blame anyone. If you ever
have to blame someone, you are not in your personal power.
As an example, look at what this is going to do for the judicial
system and lawyers. If there is a change, and individuals are owning
their realities, there will be no need for law suits. That is one
very, very simple example. Imagine what it would be like for
everyone in your world to 100% own and claim their lives, and what
happens to them.
When that happens, you will also find that everyone
on your world has 100% mastered their personal power.
Do you follow
so far?
Question: Yes, and I'll let you keep going. One of the things that
occurred to me is that when you learn to ride a bicycle there is a
point where you no longer have to even think about your balance.
Right now we are experiencing individual issues about personal
power. In fourth density, those issues (I assume) are handled. There
are no longer challenges to that personal power concept just like
there are no longer challenges to balancing on a bicycle.
Exactly.
Question: So this is an issue that we go through, we get, and fourth
density provides us with a whole different range of issues that then
will not include this question of personal power. It is something we
will have done.
Yes. Right now what you are all doing on your world is that you are
learning to ride without training wheels. For now at least, you are
still reminding yourself to keep in balance on that bicycle.
However, very shortly in many of your lifetimes you are going to see
a tremendous shift where you are no longer going to have to think
about balancing yourself on that bicycle.
It is going to be a
natural expression of who you are. And so as the reality is claimed
100%, as total self-responsibility for the reality is taken by each
person, they are going to learn to live that way rather than live
through blame. And when they learn to live that way, they are truly,
truly on the path of total mastery of their personal power.
Very
good analogy.
Question: Germane, a lot of people will have a tendency to want to
work on, for example, why I would have given the gun away. If it was
self-doubt, I would then spend hours working on my self-doubt. You
are suggesting instead that it might be better to merely take the
gun back and confront the fear...
of having the gun...
Question: ...of having the gun. And through confronting the fear
you'll naturally go back to perhaps reliving the self-doubt...
Yes. You will ultimately need to take the gun back and to feel what
it is like to have it (even if it is fearful) before you can truly
master the use of the gun. How can you master the use of the gun if
you never pick it up?
You know we have said so many times that the
thing you desire most is often the thing you fear the most. In this
case, so many of you desire personal power and that is the very
thing you are afraid of.
It will require you to claim that power (at
least a little bit) to bring up the fear or the resistance to then
cleanse it out, so that you can then finally learn how to use it and
become strong through that usage.
Do you follow?
Question: I do. And it would seem obvious then that for many of us
this personal power that we need to reclaim may actually be back in
the roots of our family - our mother and father.
Oh, yes. Recognize that each and every one of you as children have
role models in your mother and father (or your primary care givers)
and those role models are the first people that you ever encounter.
[Tape is turned over] And when you have a little child who is so
hungry to learn, they pattern themselves after the first role model
that they are presented.
This is not a conscious thing. But this is
what happens. And so if your parents have been patterned to give
away personal power... perhaps your mother has been patterned that
she should give up her power to the man. And the man has been
patterned that he is the only one who can safely handle the power,
this is going to be passed on to children.
And it is then going to
be passed on to their children, and on down the line. Until
conscious intervention happens, it can unconsciously be carried.
So more than anything else what we are talking about is a form of
conscious intervention. It is a point of saying,
"Ah ha! This is why
I have not felt empowered. I will own this. I will thus, in the
owning, change it."
That commitment right there, that recognition,
that ownership, that is the true point of power.
Question: So the more that your primary caregiver tended to live in
fear (therefore giving up their power in any area they are afraid),
they give up their power to the person or thing whom they are afraid
of.
Exactly.
Question: Then the more you will be patterned to give up your
personal power because you are following the dictates or models of
your primary caregiver.
Exactly. Now we recognize that there is really so much to share with
you on this idea of claiming personal power. The time allotted on
the tape will not allow us to do so. However, we would like to give
you some techniques to get the ball rolling so that those of you who
are feeling disempowered, who really are looking for that mastery of
your personal power, this will give you a place to start.
The number one place to start in achieving personal power (or
reclaiming personal power) is to begin with fear. We were just
talking a few moments ago about the analogy regarding the gun. If
you've given the gun to your mother and you want to get the gun
back, (i.e. you want to get your personal power back), all the
analyzing in the world about why you gave it away is not going to
get you there. It is going to help, but it is not going to do it.
You are going to need to be willing to ask your mother for the gun
back, to be willing to hold it with the bullets, and process your
fear about your inability to handle that piece of power. The one
single idea that can keep you immobile is fear.
That one single idea
must be confronted and addressed.
So, we are going to give you some exercises to help you work with
your fear so that it will not seem so overwhelming to you, so that
little by little as you begin working with this fear, you will then
(little by little) feel more and more self-empowered.
The Negative Fantasy Technique
The first technique we are going to give you is the least
threatening one. This technique we call "Negative Fantasy". This
analogy with the gun is very good, so we are going to continue it
through in these techniques. You will begin to see how the dynamics
of personal empowerment and disempowerment play out.
Negative Fantasy
What this means, is that as you are trying to
learn how to use the gun (and you are very, very afraid of the gun),
what you are going to do is go into a meditation (or a fantasy).
What you are going to do is imagine over and over again the worst
case scenario that you can think of regarding that gun.
Now, we need to explain something here. Many people, when we talk
about this technique immediately say,
"Well, Germane, if I imagine
that, it is going to happen!"
No! No, no, no, no!
What you are going
to be doing, as you imagine this over and over again, is blowing off
any fear charge that you have. As you imagine it over and over again
and you see that you are all right and you see that the fear becomes
less and less and less and less, you are going to feel more
empowered and less disabled by fear.
Just a quick statement here on how reality is created... Often
people have thought,
"Well if I imagine it, I will create it."
However, the mechanism is simply as follows:
Whatever you have the
most energy behind will be what is created. Whether this is
conscious, or unconscious.
So, if you have a lot of fear that you
are going to accidentally shoot yourself, and you are not willing to
address that fear, the chances are more likely that you will need to
then confront that fear by shooting yourself.
However, if, through
negative fantasy, you seek to bleed off that held-in charge inside
of you of the fear of shooting yourself... if you continue to process
and imagine this and see that as the fear bleeds off you are okay,
then the loudest voice that speaks to the universe will be the voice
of your confidence, not the voice of your fear. Then, the likelihood
of you shooting yourself will be a lot less. You draw to you that
which you have the most charge over.
You draw to you that which you
fear most. If you process your fear, you will not draw it to you.
We have given this technique to several people and they have stated
that as soon as they began using the technique, they started feeling
a shift. They didn't feel as overwhelmed by their fear. You have to
trust, when you use this technique, that you are in a process of
releasing fear and becoming self-empowered.
If you fear the power of
your own thoughts, that is not an empowering thought.
That will
create you a situation to support your fear of your own thoughts.
Negative fantasy is a very powerful technique to bleed off that
overwhelming fear energy. It is like those obstacles blocking the
way of the funnel.
When you do the negative fantasy technique, you
dissolve those objects. You start to dissolve those objects that are
blocking the funnel and so you then begin to feel the flow of the
personal power energy coming through the funnel. If you don't
dissolve the blocks, you can't feel it. If you can't feel it, how
can you ever hope to achieve it?
We cannot stress to you how important facing and confronting your
fears really is when you are attempting to master your personal
power.
Question: The only thing that I assume that is important is that
should you get to the point where you feel that you want to blame
the mother for taking your gun, you have to realize that you need to
move through that blame until you recognize that in fact you had to
have given her the gun.
Yes! That comes right down to what we were talking about - total
self-responsibility for your reality. The minute you get into the
game that "they" took it (no matter what the external appearances
look like), you are going to perpetuate the cycle of blame and never
become self-responsible, and then of course never claim personal
power.
Question: You were saying that you might find that there is a fear
of personal thought. You could run the negative fantasy on that
fear, as well.
Yes. Interesting concept.
Question: If that is the thing that you fear the most, then that is
the thing that you need to run that process on.
Yes. There is another fear technique we would like to share. The
reason for giving this technique is because it puts the ball in your
court, so that from a point of self empowerment and personal power,
you can then challenge your fear and from that point of personal
power, you are calling the shots with your fear.
You are not a
victim to your fear. This exercise is simply that we will ask you
several questions. We would suggest that the person doing this
exercise get a notebook and answer the following questions.
Four Step Fear Process
-
What do I fear?
We would suggest that the person list as many
things as possible. This is including physical fears (such as snakes
or riding in a car). It is also encompassing fear of success, fear
of not being loved, fear of being abandoned. It is the tangible
fears and the intangible fears.
Write down as much as you possibly
can. Take as long as you possibly can to do it. It is going to be
very illuminating for you.
-
How does this fear manifest in my life?
For instance, an answer
to that questions might be,
It is very important for you to identify the behavior that
you engage in when you are in fear. Often you do not know when you
are in fear, because it is a behavior or an energy that you are used
to. But if you can learn to identify your behavior patterns, you can
then examine your patterns and know when you are in fear.
That way,
every time you lash out at someone you love, you are going to know,
"Ah ha! I must be in fear."
-
Question: And Germane, chances are those patterns will be the same
for all the fears, right?
Yes. Thank you very much. If you have twenty-five fears that you've
just listed, the behavior that you engage in when you are in fear
will be identical for all of those twenty-five things you've listed.
Fear is fear.
Once you've done this second question - started to identify your
behavior, this is when you are going to start feeling a little
twinge of personal power. Because you are going to start to realize
that you have the tool to recognize it, and so you have the tool to
confront it. And you have the tool to heal it.
The third question
would be:
-
What possible value can I find for the expression of my fear?
Let
us reword this. What value can you ascribe to the expression of your
fear? Example: Your fear is extremely valuable because it points out
to you when you are having tremendous growth opportunities.
If you
can identify, through your behavior, when you are in fear, you can
stop and say,
-
Question: FDR said that the only thing we have to fear is fear
itself.
Yes.
-
Question: Do I get from this third question that what you are trying
to do is to shift our viewpoint of having been afraid of fear, to
embracing that fear as something valuable in our transformation and
our personal growth?
When you can accept the value of everything in your life (including
the negative, including fear), that will be when you claim your
power.
-
Question: The point being that the thing that we have not wanted to
confront is more the fear, rather than the results of the fear.
Yes!
-
Question: If you are talking about the gun, it isn't that we want to
not confront the shooting, it is that we don't want to confront the
emotion of fear that is associated with the gun. So you are trying
to get us to confront the fear itself, and embrace it.
Yes! Humans are more afraid of fear than the actual thing they claim
they are afraid of.
-
Question: Which is why people say whenever they've had for example a
terrible car accident, they get through it and say, "That's all
there is?" They can't believe how simple it is once they go through
the fear.
Going back to the beginning of what we were saying - how your ego
develops - the minute your ego perceives a threat, it is going to
protect you from that threat. Not only is it going to protect you
from the threat, it is going to protect you from the feeling of
being threatened. That means, protecting you from feeling fear.
So
not only is your ego protecting you from the thing, it is also
protecting you from the feeling of the thing, which is the fear.
-
Question: Is it really even protecting you from the thing? Isn't
it's only job to protect you from the feeling?
Recognize that a lot of the portions of the ego delude themselves.
So it is going to protect you from anything that takes on any shape
or form close to the fear.
-
Question: I just have to say one more thing that is hitting me at
this point. Any time the ego receives a threat, it reacts with fear.
It has one response to any number of invasions. This is the exact
same mechanism that the physical body has. It has one response,
which is inflammation, and then it goes on from there. It is a one
response mechanism.
Yes. And recognize that even though the ego has one response - fear
- that fear will often cloak itself in other emotions so that it is
disguised so that you can never trace it back to the ego. It is a
camouflage mechanism. For instance, descriptions of things that are
really fear disguised are often: anger, jealousy,
protectiveness...we could go on and on and on with this.
The fear is
underlying all of the disguises that it appears as. And you will
need to examine your reactions to situations to really see where the
fear is. Fear is it! When you master fear, you master your personal
power.
The fourth part of the exercise is a fun little exercise that is
going to let your subconscious really have it's say. These other
portions of the exercise are your conscious mind.
The fourth part of
the exercise is:
-
Personify your fear.
Take a clean sheet of paper, colored pens
and pencils, crayons, whatever you want, and what you are going to
do is to personify your fear. Draw your fear. Give it a humanoid
form - whether it looks like a witch or a vampire, or an ugly
monster, make it is ugly and as sinister as you can, but still keep
it having the appearance of human.
This is a very, very powerful
mechanism. What it is going to do is communicate to your
subconscious mind and your ego that fear is on your level. We will
call this fear character "Mr. Fear." (You can call it "Miss Fear" if
you want to, it doesn't matter). Mr. Fear, when personified, is like
fear being revealed. It is now vulnerable. It now stands there in
front of you and you can see it is your height.
It has two arms, two
legs. It is something you can deal with. It is not this big, black
void.
When you put fear on your level through personification, you can
then use all sorts of techniques such as dialoging with the fear to
help the transformational process occur. When you've mastered fear,
once again we will repeat, when you've mastered fear, you have
mastered self-empowerment. In a sense, fear is the one enemy all of
you are fighting on this planet - to speak a little bit
dramatically.
Each of you have disguised Mr. Fear in a different
costume. So Mr. Fear is always something outside of you. However,
Mr. Fear is something very alive and well inside. And it is the
primary blockage toward mastering personal power. When Mr. Fear is
brought to your level and embraced and allowed to express itself,
you will be on the path toward absolutely and totally mastering your
personal power.
You are already seeing in your society, in your own circle of
friends perhaps, that when one commits themselves to personal
growth, one must confront fear, or you will not go any farther.
The tools to personal power are very easy, very light. They have the
instructions clearly written upon them. But you can't get in the
tool box, because Mr. Fear has his foot on it. Until you befriend
Mr. Fear, you cannot get at that tool box. You may, when Mr. Fear is
taking a nap, sneak to the tool box and pull out a tool. But no
sooner do you have it in your hand, he wakes up, and he snatches it
back.
This is the game that humans have been playing for quite some time.
But now you know there is a tool box. Now you know the instructions
are clearly written on the tools. Now you know that the only thing
standing in between you is Mr. Fear. He's the one to contend with.
And he is a part of you.
Because he is a part of you, he needs to be
valued and recognized for what he can give to you.
When you can do
that, that is an indication that you are either very close to
mastering or have mastered your fear. From that point on, the tool
box is clearly open and clearly labeled. It is your playground...and
we would say that your mastery of your own personal power in this
lifetime in this physical reality is more of a playground than you
realize.
If there is no fun involved in this mastery, we would suggest not
doing it. If there is no joy, if there is no excitement, go back a
little bit and work on something else until you can muster the joy
and the excitement. Because when you've truly committed toward
mastery of that personal power, if you are truly committed and truly
excited, then even the fear will be an exciting thing.
That also
will be a signpost to tell you whether you've really committed, or
whether you are still in the phase of "trying" to commit. If your
fear is an exciting thing (because it represents the path to your
power), then you are full steam ahead. If not, then continue to
search for the mastery of your fear before you go further.
And once
again when you feel the excitement, you will know you are ready.
Each and every one of you carries this tool box. Each and every one
of you has an equal chance of mastering those tools. We know you
would not have set this up if you were not capable of achieving it.
And we know that the rewards are great when you achieve it. You are
a very persistent civilization. You will achieve what you are
setting out to do. Persistence, patience, joy, and love.
Enjoy your road to personal power... for there is a pot of gold at
the end. Much love to you!
And we send you a good day.
