Dear friends this is P'taah's latest weekly message to us:
“To assist others, first assist yourself. Do what you can by living in awareness, by taking every opportunity to know more about the love of who you are as the Divine Expression of the Source. And then, if it is your heart to do so, reach out to assist others.
But you know, you assist others by being the truth of who you are, not by preaching and not by trying to force somebody into your way of thinking. Rather be an example of how you may change and transform your own life.
And you know, it is to know that there is always another way to be in any situation which in itself creates change. No matter what the situation, no matter how boxed-in you feel, no matter how trapped you feel in the situation, there is always another way to be. By being another way, you will create a different paradigm."
Me here: I have recently posted on how I see the way we still yearn to learn even as we know we are perfect. I was reading P'Taah's new weekly message and it hit me just how appropriate these words are considering the last few posts on the BB.
The 1st paragraph stresses we can really only assist others by 'living in awareness' ie from our (higher) consciousness. ...And...'.by taking every opportunity to know more about the love of who you are as the Divine Expression of the Source.'
That really sums up what I was trying to say.
P'Taah elaborates on this by telling us that we do this and live in that awareness by 'being the truth of who you are' not by lording it over others but by being – be in the state of what it is we are desirous of bringing forth- and we do this by feeling that we are already living that state- thus by being 'an example of how you may change and transform your own life.'
Ptaah has done it again by giving us the answer just when we are 'needing' it, and at the most appropriate time.
And as P'Taah says ' there is always another way to be' and by being that new way we create or bring about to our awareness that state and open up ' a different paradigm.'
In Australia we have an ad on TV which shows a group of people going into a sort of stadium, sitting down and watching what comes up on a screen. This screen is part of a revolving circle that keeps turning around till the people in the arena seem to stop it by focusing on a particular image - in this case a soccer player showing off his ball skills. Next we see this picture come alive and see the people watching break out into laughter and smiles as they see all this unfolding ahead of them.
Thus is a great way to think of the universe we are part of and how it can work in our lives.
Quantum theory postulates that all that is, was, or ever will be is already existing. Hard to grasp but that well could be the way it all works. If All is Mind then besides the Universe being mental it must also all exist in it's singularity or all at the same time.
If All That Is is 'All That Is ' (the true meaning of omnipresent) then this is true for our state of being ( as we are 'in' or part of the universe, an integral part of All That Is- or else we wouldn't 'Be'); then everything does exist somewhere, somehow – and this includes what was, is now and is still yet to come. Indeed Einstein said that time does not exist as it seems to be but that ' the past, present, and future happen simultaneously'.
This seems hard (impossible??) to understand. But if we think of that ad it can make sense. All does exist at the same 'time' and it comes forth in our lives, it appears as our reality, by way of consciousness or our awareness. The state of our awareness can be, or a significant portion of our awareness, can come under our control.
To use the analogy of that ad. The outer ring contains All That Is – whatever That Is it is all there in that 'ring'. It is as if we are that audience which is sitting down and watching it all. It is through our ATTENTION or FOCUS that a specific scenario comes into our line of sight. It is as we continue to put all our attention and focused thought - through anticipation of what we know we will see (ie feeling that what we desire is actually already being experienced), - that that picture becomes sharp, clear and then seems miraculously to come to life. Then we can rapturously be part of it and enjoy the experience.
We do this subconsciously on occasions – we need to be able to make this our constant experience. Throughout this we CAN be 'an example of how (we) can change and transform our lives' and BE in another way and thus bring about a new and different pardigm and experience.
This seems to follow on seamlessly to my most recent posts- it really is a wonder to behold. P'Taah – no – life itself truly is magnificent!
Glad you enjoy my'musings'. That ad I describedhad always reminded me of how our teachers explaines how 'the universe worked' and it seemed an ideal analogy for us to grow into knowing more aout who we really are. Now I anm not saying I am an expert or anything like that, but knowing and understanding are the first stepping stones to wisdom and experiencing. And when we do find we 'are there' then we can 'assist others' as P'Taah intimates.
I like your point about understanding being the initial stepping stone to wisdom and experiencing, and I agree. There are those who do not yet have the desire to understand, and so they are not yet at the point of "yearning to learn" as you put it.
Also the point about manifesting is wonderful too. I think P'taah's point about 'being' the example is relevant to that, in that when we "put the Kingdom first, all else will be given unto you." Meaning that when we are 'being' love (another word for the Kingdom) those things which we desire to manifest will come forth effortlessly.
Many people wonder why they don't manifest what they want: a relationship, more money, a better job, a new car, etc. They ask why this doesn't come to them, when they have put so much effort into focusing on these things.
The missing ingredient, it seems to me, is that ingredient of "being" love... being the example. When we give love, it is immediately received. If I find myself not receiving love, I know that it is me who is not giving it. A favorite quote of mine is:
"Only what I'm not giving can be lacking in any situation."
This puts the responsibility with me, which is where it belongs. My happiness doesn't depend on what you do for me. It depends on me genuinely accepting myself as Love, and then 'being' that from every essence of myself.
