Chapter Three A Matter of Time
ОглавлениеJoseph: The theme of the chapter this morning is: A Matter of Time. I want to speak about ‘time’ as you perceive it on Earth, and the reason you perceive it in a linear fashion.
Because of the effects of the Fall, you do not perceive existence or experience as we do. You perceive it as a journey from point ‘A’ …to point ‘B’ …to point ‘C’ …to point ‘D’, and you observe (as you think) the passing of seconds …and minutes …and months …and years …and decades. But, in effect, what you are witnessing is not a passage of anything at all. It is a layering of your existence. I want you to consider what we have said in previous books regarding the nature of existence on the Earth plane and regarding your inability to let go of concepts, as you would do in the normal run of things spiritually.
In the normal course of events as an angelic being, you enter into a situation …you extend your senses into that situation …you donate to that situation everything you can offer to the circumstances around you at that particular time …and you absorb from that situation everything it has to offer you in terms of your spiritual expansion and appreciating more of the God-essence outside of and within yourself. Having done that, you then move on to another situation.
And, you will say, ‘Well, Joseph, surely that is a linear event?’
…Yes, it is but only on one level of perception and observation.
There is within you, as an angelic being, a timeless point – a point at which you observe all, and can radiate out a sensory ‘beam’ or width of vibration in order to experience aspects of what you have become thus far, and what you may potentially become in the future, according to your viewpoint. This is extremely difficult to explain because you will say that the future doesn’t exist yet. But, if you take away the concept of the future and there is only the NOW and only the viewpoint then, of course, the future is there. It is a matter of you being a potential being that circumstance will enhance.
So you exist, of course, in the future from the fullness of the point of One because the future is part of what you are now. It is a projection. It is an enhancement of perception based on situations that you choose to move through as an angelic being to enhance yourself.
At any one time, from the point of the NOW, you can examine your potential, examine what you have accomplished thus far and examine your current level of involvement in a situation and current level of absorption of knowledge and perception. And, based on what you have accomplished thus far in the NOW, you can make adjustments in order to experience specific situations that will enhance you as you move on into other aspects of the NOW.
What a complex concept this must seem, but it is only complex because you have rooted yourself in the effects of the Fall. Before the Fall you visited the Earth to experience and to absorb into yourself those aspects of the experience you considered worthy and right to enhance you so that you could move on into another experience. And we have also explained in previous books the way that you can enter into a situation and then, having moved on from it, let it go and dissolve your involvement in it, leaving a clean ‘chamber of experience’ for the next angelic being who wishes to enter that level of being and creation.
Because of the effects of the Fall, you cannot do that. You enter into a situation on a daily basis – you wake in the morning, you stride out into the day and there are consequences of you having stridden out into that day. You leave traces of your involvement with others on a spiritual level, on a material level and on a psychic level. You leave actual physical traces of your involvement with the day upon the Earth. You leave the detritus of your having lived through that day: you leave your physical rubbish, you leave the remains of your meals and you leave your physical excretions. I make no apologies for mentioning this, but it is as a result of the solidified and heavier matter you find yourself in that you need to have excretion and to leave rubbish behind at all.
In the normal course of things as an angelic being, these heavier-matter occurrences would not happen. You would simply move on and extricate yourself from the situation, leaving a clean sphere of influence and appreciation for other beings to step into and experience within.
You cannot do that on Earth because you cannot dissolve the effects of your experience on a daily basis …on an hourly basis …from minute to minute …from second to second. You leave behind the consequences of the Fall and the consequences of your thoughts and actions upon the Earth. And so, you produce a layer of experience that you leave behind, as individuals and as a species, across the globe. You leave behind your history in terms of layers of solidified matter that should in spiritual reality go back to the no-thing. You layer up one hundred years ago …fifty years ago …twenty-five years ago …today …yesterday …and you cannot extricate yourself from the sphere of experience that you find yourself trapped in.
There is a danger to this in that you are psychic beings, you are spiritual beings, you are angelic beings, and so you are affected by the resonance or vibrations of the things you have left behind …but in reality are still there.
This effect on the things you have left behind, you describe as ‘time’. You look at your bodies, and you say that the body is ageing and becoming wrinkled, stooped, and less efficient. And, yes, it is …but that happens because you are layering onto the body experience that shouldn’t be there. If you were to look, as it were, through a ‘spiritual microscope’ you would see that the atoms of the physical body in the new-born are bright, shining and full of energy. But, if you were to look through the same ‘spiritual microscope’ at someone in their fifties or sixties (in the normal course of things) you would see that the days of their experience have layered those atoms and molecules with a roughness and with a severe sandpaper-like quality that prevents them from functioning as they should do, as the perfect vehicle for the angelic being inhabiting them for a period. And so, your very physical existence is layered with the experiences of the days and years that you cannot dissolve. This, too, you perceive as ‘time’.
From the viewpoint of the angelic being experiencing existence on a planet (other than the Earth affected by the Fall) it is a matter of going through every aspect of the experience at the same time. It is only perception that changes to allow you to experience the subtleness and sweetness of the various nuances of that experience. But you cannot do that on Earth. You cannot view the experiences of your life as being one experience. Because of the layering effect, it appears to be something that you move on from (again, using the analogy of time) …second to second …minute to minute …hour to hour …day to day. But you are, in effect, experiencing the NOW – the whole of the experience – but fragmented because of having to tramp through the amassed layers of ‘used living’ that normally you would simply dispense with and return to the no-thing.
My point in bringing you this information is to explain a little about the nature of time, and to set you free from the nature of time by saying that there is a simple plan to each day. At the end of each day, if you are weary, if you feel laden, if you feel the heaviness in your physical and mental vibrations, enter the silence, visualise the day you have just spent and take away the traces of your existence from that day.
In other words, having absorbed the conversations with people and the experience of the day …let everything else go. See the connections of that day that make you feel so heavy dissolving away into golden Light. Pour Light into the awkward experiences of the day – perhaps there has been an altercation with other spirits you are not happy about. Dissolve them! Take yourself away from them! You cannot destroy the experiences you have had, but you can take away the links to those experiences …the links to today …the links to yesterday.
You form so many hooks into the experiences you have built up around you that you age and become bereft of energy more quickly than you should. It is not that the energy is not there …it is that the energy has to flow in so many different directions – to your ‘todays’ and to your ‘yesterdays’.
You view the future as potential but, unfortunately, because of the effects of the Fall, you view the future as negative potential for the most part. How many of your brothers and sisters do you know who look at the future rosily, happily and with great expectation? Is it not true that, instead, you look at the ageing process and add to it …you look at the ailing process and add to it …you look at lack and add to it? Because of the effects of the Field and the Fall it is difficult to do otherwise, but you are shaping your future negatively because of the layers of experience you cannot get rid of from your past.
So, if you enter into a state (that can take perhaps only a couple of minutes) and negate those experiences of the day not required on journey, you will live longer, you will feel better, your spirits will literally ‘rise’ and you will go into the future without a preconception of doom and gloom and age and illness.
You wear wristwatches and that amuses me greatly. You have, of course, to have some measure of your passage through a daily ritual of constructing things (and then not being able to get rid of them), but the watches on your wrists and the clocks on your mantelpieces measure nothing. They measure nothing – they cannot measure something that does not exist.
We have talked in the past about the way we communicate with you and how it is all one communication. It is all one communication because, for us, it is not a matter of waiting weeks to connect with you again. It is a matter of us extricating from the connection that part of our consciousness relaying the information, and amusing ourselves with other aspects of creation until we dip again into the communication at the same point at which we left it. It is not that ‘time’ has passed, it is that experience has passed. Experience has taken place. Your perception of time is a perception of spiritual experience taking place, but it seems to move on and to be this physical attribute of the universe because you are living trapped in the effects of the Fall.
There is a saying ‘no time like the present’ and I would like to alter one word of that to say …no time but the present.
There is no time but the present.
You exist to experience. Even though you are trapped in this sphere at the moment, you exist to experience and your experience is now. It is always now. The memories you have are always now because experience is an energy – not an energy that is segregated into days, and weeks, and months and years – it is a constant. It is an energy-field that you can press against and immerse yourself into, and (from your point of view) re-experience totally those aspects of the ‘past’. They are not the past – they are simply points in the field of experience that you choose to visit by pointing your perception in that direction.
There is no time but the present!
There is no time but the present, and what you perceive as the ageing of your world, the ageing of edifices or the ageing of bodies is simply the weight of solidified creative constructs that press on each other and then partially breakdown under their own weight.
What I am suggesting to you is that eventually your physical body breaks down under its own weight. Of course, there is a point when you must return to the spirit realms, but that is influenced heavily by the amount of weight you add to your physical body, to your mental concept of yourself and to the positivity that is your natural state as an angelic being. In other words, if you contra the positivity of your angelic-being outlook with the negativity of the Earth and the negativity of your ‘past’ experience – then you pull at the physical and mental vehicles, you add weight to them and they slow down. They are not as effective as they were …which hastens your point of exit.
There is a tendency, particularly in the western world at the moment, for people to be more weighty than they were. This perception of themselves reflects the hastening of the end of society as you know it – if we are not careful. There is an increased investment in the detritus of the day, and a greater emphasis on accumulation and on those areas of being that link to skewed vibrations.
In the normal course of things as an angelic being, you would put away your ‘toys’ at the end of the day. You would dispense with them to bring them out of the ‘toy box’ tomorrow. But this is not happening at the moment and there is a deeper investment in materialism on Earth. You are investing in those things you cannot rid yourselves of …I need the next shiny bauble – I need the next aspect of whatever this Earth can give me, in order to be happy… and that is being reflected back to the physical bodies as weight. It is an actual physical representation of what is happening with the soul.
The soul is investing more of its consciousness, not in the experiences of the Earth, but in experiencing the Earth through the effects of the Fall. ‘Instead of the Earth – I love the bauble. Instead of my fellow beings – I love the next piece of materiality I can surround myself with.’ And the soul is expressing itself through the physical body and saying, ‘This is what I lack. This is why I cannot lose weight because I am adding weight to myself by accumulating.’ …Not accumulating spiritual knowledge or experience, but the ‘props’ or ‘film set’ rather than the actual experience of living.
So, in addition to the meditations I have taught you in the past, I would recommend that, at some point each day (and the obvious time is before you sleep), you consider those aspects of the day that are no longer of any consequence to you whatsoever, and, through visualisation, sever those connections to you with a ‘knife of Light’ that separates you from them as you push those things away and let them go.
Let them go!
…Let them go for your own sake – for your own mental clarity, physical energies and ability to connect with higher realms. Let them go for the sake of the Earth that is being overwhelmed with the weight of the angelic beings who refuse to leave it. Let them go for the sake of your brothers and sisters who have enough weight of their own on all levels without you adding to them and buttressing their perception of how this world really works.
If I may add a pun at the end [smiling] – the time to do this is now …and there is no ‘time’ at all… but time is running out.
In other words, the amount of experience or energy you have left is dwindling. It is not that ‘time’ is running out – there is no time. There is only a change in the way that you experience on the Earth plane, and that experience is becoming increasingly negative, increasingly weighty and increasingly an adoration of the ‘experiment’ that went wrong. Therefore, you are cutting off your connection to your own spiritual heritage and your ability to communicate with those of us in the soul groups who wish to help you. Most importantly, you are cutting off your connection with God.
I hope this illustrates (unless we can turn things round, and we are working extremely hard to do that) the way in which things would end for society. The point at which the souls trapped in the effects of the Fall have to return to stasis is the point at which the weight and detritus of the Fall – created by you daily – becomes so overwhelming that the connection with God is impossible.
At that point there is no choice but to return the angelic children to stasis, clear the Earth of the effects of you having lived on it for thousands of years and then return you here (for reasons we have illuminated in the other books) to once again experience from the right point of view and to finally let go of the effects of the Fall …to let go of your insistence that the experiment was the right thing to do and still is.
This is how civilisation has fallen on this planet in the past. It has fallen because you have reached the point – through your investment in the effects of the Fall and the skewed nature of creation on this level – where you cannot reach the God-within, where you cannot see the God-without and you effectively remove yourself from the cycle of existence that would bring you back through the escape spheres and out into Infinity. So, there is no choice but to return you here to live through similar circumstances, and this time (please, God) to make the right choices.
But, of course, we don’t want that to happen, so take the ‘time’ to consider that there is no time. Take the time to consider what you need to remove from your daily existence in order to be a connection to the spirit worlds on behalf of others, a connection to the Divine on behalf of others, and a Light that invests this world with the ability to rid itself of the layers of existence that we place upon it on a daily basis.
I have – I think the term is – ‘fried the connections’ in Michael’s brain this morning which might explain why he was removed from his full conscious approach to the Earth in order that I could move closer to bring these concepts through, but I will attempt to answer your questions.
David: We have a tendency to want to experience the same thing over, and over and over again, don’t we?
Joseph: Yes.
David: If we made a conscious effort to experience different things daily would that help us break away?
Joseph: You need to look at the core of the experience you live time and again. You have to remember, in all things, to approach what happens to you from a spiritual rather than a physical point of view. As you are trapped in the effects of the Fall, your core belief traps you in a repeating pattern on a daily basis. So, yes, it is an excellent idea to move on to a ‘new’ experience (as you see it) but many people move on to a new experience and then find that, within the confines of that new experience, they are repeating the same pattern on a spiritual level …the same things are happening but in a new ‘disguise’.
Before moving on to a new experience, it is better to examine the experience you are repeating, and to ask for help in determining what the key factors making that experience repeat itself are. Why is it, as an individual, you are trapped in a certain set of repeating circumstances?
People will attribute it to the job …or to a relationship …or to being in a particular set of financial circumstances or a particular corner of the world, but that is not true. From an observer looking at the earthly experiences unfolding it appears to be true, but actually at spiritual core there is a reason why any being is connected to a set of repeating circumstances. Those repeating circumstances may be enlightening for that soul, but, for the most part, they are ‘the record stuck in the groove’; they are a belief brought back into this life or set in childhood, and they are strangely a comfort because that is all that is known.
For so many people, if you were to suggest that they experience something different, they would retreat into a cupboard and not come out until you had gone away because change is frightening. To experience something new is frightening because, at core, we want to experience the same things we are familiar with …and within that core there is another core that says at the point of the Fall we were right.
Layers… [laughing] …there are so many layers to daily experience. Daily experience is not what it appears to be. I would welcome change in people, but, in order for true change to take place – it is not simply a change of job or simply a change of environment – it is a change of what the spirit wants from existence here …otherwise the patterns repeat themselves and the matrix imprints itself in every change that comes around.
Do you see that?
David: Yes, thank you.
Joseph: Another question, please!
Tony: Joseph, I understand what you have been talking about today regarding the weight we bring upon ourselves by not letting go of experience. I assume that also takes place in communities like religions, for instance, and that they accumulate the weight of past debris and past constructs?
Joseph: This is why I mentioned within the talk this morning that you should let go on behalf of others because you consolidate (as you have said) in religions and in political circles. You invest in a set of beliefs and, if those beliefs are skewed because of the effects of the Fall (as they are for the most part), then you are crystallising, consolidating and making heavier those beliefs every day you live through them. And, you pat each other on the back and say: ‘Yes, we’ve got the answer. Yes, we must move forward with this set of beliefs.’ But, if you have a set of beliefs not based on Divine-law, you are not moving forwards. You are simply taking a ‘shovel’ and adding more rigidity, on a daily basis, to the mistaken beliefs you already have.
Again, in the earlier books, I have talked about the necessity of getting to the spiritual core of society in order to change things. You cannot change things with a layered, mistaken belief in religion. You cannot change things with a layered, mistaken belief in politics. You cannot change things with a layered, mistaken belief in a peacekeeping policy. You have to get to the spiritual core and say: ‘We need to re-set things and sweep away these heavy constructs.’
We can see them. From our point of view, we see them as obelisks or monoliths surrounding and connecting huge numbers of people …as a greyness …as a rockiness …as a blot or stain in the vibrational field. To see your thoughts on a spiritual level is an amazing thing – you are connected to so many things. And, of course, it is those connections and beliefs, and the weight of those connections, that brings you back.
I hope this explains a little more. I have quite fancifully said in the past that you come back because of the television set, or the glass of beer or to re-invest in your company status. And, yes, you do …but it is more serious than that. It is because, over thousands of years, you have invested in these layered beliefs that connect to you, and when you come back to the spirit world they are still connected to you and are still pulling you. They pull you back to the Earth. Yes, you have to come back through free will, but you are pulled back because of your own beliefs and because of the connections you have made which in many, many cases you cannot let go of. And so we have panels that advise people and say: ‘Can you not see the greyness connecting you to this aspect of what you wish to repeat? Can you not see the greyness of that aspect that you wish to go back into? Let go!’
LET GO!
And so letting go of the daily concepts around you is an excellent way of keeping your soul healthy enough to recognise when it passes from this state to the first of the spiritual areas that it should let go …that it needn’t come back …and that what it has invested so much energy and time into is a waste and is an ‘evil’ – in that it is against spiritual growth, and is against the re-establishment of the spiritual perfection that existed here before the time of the Fall.
Is that sufficient?
Tony: Thank you so much.
Jane: Joseph, is the increasing population another example of the layering and the weight? Is it an effect of the Fall that people want to bring more children in because they think the ‘experiment’ is right, or is it because souls are all queuing up to come back here?
Joseph: From their point of view, it is an investment in the future, but it is also a further investment in materialism at this point in time. They look at the material aspect of having a child …it is a desirable thing …it is a ‘doll’ …it is something that ‘everyone else has and, therefore, I must have too!’ And once the creative act has put the shell in place, then there are many, many souls waiting to reincarnate and having to be placed by the Lords of Karma according to what will act out during their lifetimes.
It would be far better for the planet, and far better for the angelic children incarnated at this time, if there was an easing back on this perceived need to procreate, so that the concentration could then be placed on the souls who are in the arena at the moment …rather than the added complication of souls being brought into the same circumstances, having been pulled back by the effects of the Fall.
It has been thus at other times, but it is more difficult for the souls reincarnating at this time because they are reincarnating into that area of heaviness. As the generations pass, the heaviness becomes greater. So, the ‘sins of the fathers’ become greater and are piled onto the souls who are incarnating before they even begin their journey. In other words, they are already projecting themselves into a ‘vehicle’ that is disadvantaged and gives them a negative start in life. This is another point at which I can allude to the end of society and civilisation if you don’t make things right.
You can see that there is an increased movement by the Field to have total dependence on it as it is – set to negative. And souls are pouring in – not to combat that need (for the most part) but to enhance it and to say: ‘Yes, it is heavy. Yes, I need to be part of this weight. Yes, I exist within time. Yes, I need all these things around me.’ And so it is hastening the point at which the majority of souls no longer embrace the God-within, the God within each other, or the ability, through their spiritual minds, to connect with greater souls around the Earth and the spheres that lead up from the Earth.
You can see the hastening of the end through so many means …unless you change …unless you put Light into every aspect of your lives.
Do you see?
Jane: Yes.
Joseph: I am about to depart. I have run out of the available energy. Thank you for your investment in a new way of approaching life on Earth.
