Cosmic Connection, page 16
We do not have a particular goal with Carole. She has been willing to receive us. And any mind, any higher consciousness state that any human being can open up, will then receive this energy, as it is of a higher state of consciousness. This energy does not belong to this channel. She is tuned into the frequency of it and is able to interpret it when in a deeper state. If you were to go into that state, you would express it differently. There might be similar strands of expression, but it would be different. And you would find that if you express thoughts in your everyday consciousness, it would be quite different than when going into this state.
You may speak.
SIMEON: I have a thousand questions to ask, but I understand what you are saying. I am intrigued by one thing you do say, that— and this will lead to a question actually—but I am intrigued by your comment that Carole has to interpret the essence of this truth, this wisdom that is there. Number one, would I be correct in saying that one difference between now and the past is that she, herself, is spiritually more fine-tuned, so to speak, so that she can be a more clear instrument for this wisdom? And number two, in her interpreting this, is not her own mind/consciousness perhaps interfering?
THE ENERGY: All mediumship is interpretation.
When the grandmother spirit comes to you for one of your clients, from the perspective of what is being said, it is an energy, a wave of energy that you tune in to. And while you may say, “Grandmother is saying this and that,” Grandmother's energy is blending with yours, and it is your higher Self that is able to tune into that energy and, in a sense, decode it and know what Grandmother means. But Grandmother doesn't talk anymore in that same way. I know it is not accepted everywhere, but the statement being made is that ultimately all spirit communication is blended energy and has to go through the mind of the medium.
Direct voice is not even always what it seems to be. It is a projection of how the spirit used to sound, and even mental mediumship is a projection of how the spirit used to look. have you not noticed that sometimes spirits show themselves in different ways at different ages?
And the spirits are not all as separated, as mediums seem to think.
As these words come through the channel, she does not always agree with what is being said now. But it has to be said that the energy of spirits is blending, and when a family unit comes in, they come in as a blended energy. Just as human beings would like to personify guides, human beings would like to personify and organize spirit communication in a way that is not real. That does not make it any less authentic, but the medium must tune in to the frequency and decode it. It is the energy that is the spirit. It is that unique consciousness of a spirit that is there, that the medium is able to tune in to, and then the medium must speak it.
If you were in the land of frogs, the frogs would interpret it. Do you understand?
Put your mind to the side for the moment and consider it. So, yes, the energy is interpreted through the higher consciousness of the medium, and if this same energy would be picked up in this moment by Ron, Ron might say similar things but put it into different words, because we are not words anyway. There are no direct words. We are a whole other realm, and it cannot be said that we are “we.” This explanation is an attempt of the higher consciousness of a mind to put form and words to something that is formless and wordless. This is what human beings have done throughout all of human history. This is where all the religions, all your gods, all your poetry, all your science comes from.
You may speak.
SIMEON: I am absolutely intrigued with what you are saying. Correct me if I am wrong. Are you saying that in spirit there is not the degree of separateness of identity as perhaps we think there is, and therefore, when we link with a specific loved one, very often other influences can come into play there, because there isn't that distinction that we may so strongly believe in? Am I correct in that?
THE ENERGY: Yes.
SIMEON: That answers a lot of questions. Thank you. I appreciate that.
RON: In light of that same question, it seems we work very hard to personify those projections. Should we instead be trying to sort out how to blend with the spirit? By blending, wouldn't we then know how the spirit connects with different family members and even with others in spirit?
THE ENERGY: It is not the issue of many. Before going into that kind of question, one needs to understand how spirit communicates. Mediums have made spirit communication something it is not. The spirit is there—and the instrument wants to fight with me at this moment—the instrument is there, the spirit is there. But a great deal of the nuances that the medium picks up, the medium is picking up from the client. The spirit is there, but in a different way than is portrayed. Just as people must portray spirit guides and give them long histories, people portray their loved ones as if they were next door. There is no real sense of them being in the spirit world. “look, I've got your grandmother here, and she says blah blah blah. She says this, and she says that.” Well, it depends on what level the soul of grandmother is in at the moment. very few true communications happen. It is useful, what happens between mediums and clients, because people living on earth want to hear from their loved ones in spirit, and the energy of the medium is there. And the medium does tune in to that energy, but the whole way that the spirit is described and animated, as if a person living and walking and talking, is for the convenience of the medium and the relatives still living. It is not a very true portrayal of spiritual life.
A truer portrayal would not be understood by most people. That is why it is given in the way that it is done now. Clients would not hear what they want to hear. A truer portrayal, the evolution of the soul of that particular spirit, where they are in their evolution— people would not want to hear it. It would be confusing.
You may speak.
BOB: It occurs to me that you are an energy field. It seems pertinent to this definition. One of the main purposes of mediumship and the sense of energy making itself available through a channel is for the purpose of healing—to come to a common understanding between the energy and the person who is receiving the message, with the help of the channel. To provide that personification that would, in fact, cause healing or promote healing for the listener.
THE ENERGY: The personification is very helpful for human beings. But this channel is seeing the reality above and behind the personification, which is projected. Do you understand?
BOB: I do understand. I believe that the best way I can understand that is that there is a higher resonance with the channel than I have, which enables her to see what you are offering and I cannot. At least I am aware of it.
THE ENERGY: You can, but it is not your choice. It has been said before that this energy does not belong to this instrument; we are not her guide, her possession.
BOB: I understand that, and my sense is that she has proved her abilities to be aware of your energy more than I have.
THE ENERGY: It is a practice since 1987, with some years off in between.
SIMEON : May I ask a question? It sounds to me that what you are saying is that what is being channeled, or whatever term you wish to put on it, is just—well not just—but is a presence of truth, knowledge, insight that is just here throughout the whole of creation, as opposed to a specific individual or group of individuals. Is that a correct understanding?
THE ENERGY: Yes.
SIMEON: And I have always believed that as we evolve in spirit, that “we”—our individuality—expands, and what we perceive as me, a few years down the road, will be much expanded from what I may perceive as me today. It sounds also to me that you're saying that mediumship should endeavor to focus more on the spirit of the spirit, as opposed to the personalities of spirit. Is that correct?
THE ENERGY: To begin, we are not saying anything. The channel is reading what is there. It is energy that is there, and it is as if the antenna is picking up the frequency and interpreting what is there. We are not saying how mediumship should be done. It is none of our business.
The truth is that spirit on a higher level is different than the projections that most mediums receive. That does not mean that mediumship is not authentic, but there are very different levels of translation, because all mediumship is translation and decoding of energy. There are different levels of translation and projection.
Perhaps one needs to put value when we say different mediums have different jobs, but even that is just for convenience; that is not a correct interpretation. That is the channel's inner feeling at the moment, trying to make sense of what she doesn't want to hear.
SIMEON: So this is working basically as (if) the channel is reading something.
THE ENERGY: Reading is the closest word we can use—perceiving.
SIMEON: A natural question would be, where did that come from? Who put that there? how did that originate? If there is something to be read, then someone, some group of beings had to, I want to say, inscribe it in that essence. Is that a collective inscription from the whole of creation?
It sounds almost like she is talking almost to the Akasha.
(Rev. Simeon defines the Akashic Records to be a mental and energy recording and reflection of every soul in Creation.)
THE ENERGY: Creation has evolved and continues to evolve. And there is more and more knowledge, and there is more and more truth. It is not like a record of everything that has happened or will happen. It is not like that. Some have written that the world and the universe is the mind of the Creator. Those words may come close to it. human beings have given it many different labels and names: this energy, this knowledge, this truth.
And human beings will continue to perceive it differently because the antenna of each one who perceives it is different, depending on the soul of that individual. There is an interaction of the truth and the knowledge and the soul of each individual, which is a part of that whole.
There are more names than anyone could ever remember. But again, that is the struggle: to somehow take this knowledge, this truth, and put it in a box, capture it, label it, understand it, prove it. This energy is moving, and it is vital, and it is creative, and it will never be put in anything.
By the time someone has understood it, it will have changed and moved on because it is evolution. Perhaps it is something so simple that humanity complicates. In its simple form, it is incredible healing.
RON: From a physical standpoint, I find it difficult to understand some of the information. This is because of my orientation. I try to understand from a physical perspective. As I become more aware of what I am seeing without eyes, hearing without ears, my mind is expanded. As a result, it feels as though I change my rate of vibration. When I succeed, I am better able to understand. Is that fair to say?
THE ENERGY: In the world of spirit are vibration. As you blend with the soul that no longer has a physical body, projections will come to you to help you understand the life of that person on earth. They are projections that you interpret. There will come a point that these projections will no longer be necessary because you will simply know; it will come to you as a knowing.
Understanding really that spirit is vibration is important for healing, because when spirit is seen as something to gather information from, the energetic transfer is . . . (words missing here), and there is a real blending between the energy of the spirit and the energy of the medium. This has been translated as very powerful energy, but the loved ones still living can feel it.
Do you understand?
RON: Yes.
SIMEON: May I ask, in what you are offering us, how does the presence of evil, on this earthly condition, come into play here? Within a world that is not all a reflection of someone, from what you are saying, I surmise that to some degree there is also included in the state of spirit the presence of evil.
THE ENERGY: Evolution has many stories to tell, and not all souls are highly evolved. In the world of spirit, there will be those who are highly evolved and those who are not, just as on the earth plane or in many other realms of life.
Is that what you are getting at?
SIMEON: I am not really getting at anything. I was just more interested in this state of spirit that you speak of, which I firmly believe is there, here, in this condition.
THE ENERGY: If you are speaking of a medium connecting with a spirit at the level that the spirit is in terms of their spirit evolution . . . So if there is a spirit that is not evolved, there may be negative energy.
RON: For the sake of the channel, it is important to mention that we are coming to nearly the end of an hour of conversation. We have about seven minutes.
THE ENERGY: Sometimes human beings have talked about evil as being separation from God. This instrument does not perceive the negative energies as evil, but as needing great help.
SIMEON: It is a word that unfortunately we communicate, using the language that we have.
THE ENERGY: It is the choice of the society. What do you really want to say about evil?
SIMEON: Well, personally, I have always felt—and I am not sure if I just interpreted what you just said correctly—but I have always felt that if God is all, then evil must be part of God as well. And we can't take one part of creation and separate it from the whole. And this is a very perplexing question. I try to pose this to people, and it is a very difficult concept for people to understand or to even want to understand. But evil is a shadowing of the light of divinity within.
THE ENERGY: As human beings evolve and are less negative, the whole spiritual evolution will become more positive. There is away that Divine Consciousness is affected by the decisions of living forms.
What some would call evil are in ignorance, because there is a creation that is negative, by your words and your feeling. Every human being has negative—or, if you like, evil—impulses within. It is how each human being decides to progress.
We would like to go on, but this is a long time for the channel. Thank you very much.
RON: If the channel is ready, we will begin counting.
(Ron counts slowly from one to ten as I come out of the trance state.)
Comments
“We are connection. We are impulse. We are vital force.” These words inspired me as I read the transcription. It is exciting to perceive of an energy that is the core of all that is creative and is perhaps part of the energy that created the universes and that still creates all that exists.And the idea that creative people, as well as scientists, are inspired by spirit is not a new thought for any of us. We have all heard stories about creative artists or scientists who receive their most important inspirations through dreams.
But it was extremely disconcerting for all of us attending the session to hear that sometimes when we feel we are communicating with individual guides, we are actually creating their images with our imagination.Those of us in the room were faced with a deep fear that we had had for many years: “Are we imagining our guides?”
It has been much easier for us to have confidence that our loved ones in spirit are communicating with us, as we have all received readings from mediums who have brought us information about our loved ones that they could not possibly have known. But proof that our spirit guides exist is not accessible in the same way; when a medium tells us we have a Chinese man for a guide, there is no way to prove that. If we ourselves have experienced a Chinese guide for many years, then perhaps the medium who mentions this guide is confirming our experience. But when a medium tells us about a guide we have not perceived, there is absolutely no way to prove the existence of that guide.
But in this session we heard words insinuating that we sometimes imagine our guides. This is an insult to many people who have deep beliefs about who their spirit guides are, what they look like, and where they come from. To hear words that imply that some of us, some of the time, may imagine our spirit guides, not only rocked our boats, but dumped us into the water gasping for air.
But let's look at what has been demonstrated to us in this session when the spirit of the lady appeared—the lady I felt superimposed over me and whom Ron felt as a very healing energy. This example may teach us something important.
For a moment, allow yourself to perceive that there are energies that are so spiritual and so connected to the Divine that they simply have no human form. Would we be able to perceive these energies in their original state? In my opinion, people of advanced spiritual evolution would be able to, but most human beings would not be able to perceive or receive these energies unless they were sent in the form the humans could understand: the form of an angel, a spirit guide, or another form that the human mind can relate to.
Let us say that Mary Smith is receiving guidance from the Divine. Mary uses the word God, as she was raised in a religion that uses that name. As Mary communicates with God, God sends his love in the form of an angel. The angel is not flesh and blood as Mary is.The angel Mary perceives is an image that Mary experiences.This angel is a messenger from God.The fact that Mary perceives this energetic messenger as an angel, and another person, David Jones (who uses the name Infinite Spirit for the Divine), perceives an energetic messenger from the Infinite Spirit as a spirit guide, does not take away from the fact that “the God of their understanding” is talking to both of them.They are simply receiving the message and the messenger in different forms.They are both receiving love and guidance from the most Divine Consciousness, but they are receiving this love in different forms.
From my perspective, there is a source of all creation, and each one of us is a spark of that Divine Source.The Greater Self of each individual is able to communicate with Divine Source. Depending on our cultural background and life experience, we receive that communication in different ways.The communication from the Divine Source comes to us in waves of energy, which we then, each individually, decode and translate into a form that we can understand.This in no way takes away from the divinity or sacredness of the different images in which we receive the Divine Source. In fact, it makes the communication even more sacred as we realize that the Divine Source is ultimately beyond words, beyond images, and that is why many of us have to receive the communication in images we can comprehend.
