Help Others Evolve by Listening ∞The 9th Dimensional Arcturian Council

“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.

Before you speak, we recommend that you listen. Now, in your conversations with one another, you are often seeking to get a point across, or share some information. You often desire to be heard. Take into account that the person or persons you are talking to want the exact same things. They also want to be heard, and even more than that, they want to be understood. They want to be acknowledged.

If you are empathic, which most of you who are awakened are, then you know what the other person, or persons, feels. But they still want to be heard, so it is your task as a compassionate and loving being to listen and to give the other person’s perspective as much weight as your own.

If you are talking to someone else whose political beliefs are very different from your own, you may just want to believe that they are wrong and that you are right. From where the other person is coming from, they are right and they have every right to their beliefs, no matter how backwards or archaic they may seem to you.

You all want to evolve together, and in order to bring as many people with you as you possibly can, the most important thing you can do is to give another person the right to their perspective and their beliefs. When you do, you are showing love and compassion, and you are giving them an opportunity to grow in your acceptance of them as they are.

So no matter what someone else is saying to you, we suggest that your first instinct be to validate the person. Give the person you are speaking to respect, and let him or her say whatever they want to say without interrupting. When you speak, speak from the heart. Demonstrate to the other person by your example what speaking from the heart feels like, sounds like, and looks like. And no matter what the conversation is that you are having, and no matter with whom, you can help bring the other person further along in their spiritual evolution.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”  danielscranton.com

 

What Is Deja Vu?

Dr. Michio Kaku: What is Déjà Vu?

A Theory of Déjà Vu and Parallel Universes

“Ever felt certain you’ve been somewhere before or experienced something, when you know for sure you haven’t? Déjà vu is one of life’s great mysteries, experienced by most people at some point.

Theoretical physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku says we can actually induce forms of déjà vu in subjects in experiments. So is deja vu just a part of our brain function? He says there’s a theory that déjà vu elicits fragments of memories we have stored in our brain which can be elicited when we move into an environment similar to a stored memory.

However, he also says that in Quantum Physics there really are parallel universes surrounding us. Science believes there are multiverses existing in our living rooms but we can’t enter them. So, is it ever possible to flip between different universes, and could this also be the cause of déjà vu?” upliftconnect.com

Pushing Against What You Do Not Want

“You just cannot kill everybody who doesn’t agree with you. You can’t do it. You’ll kill enough of them, and pretty soon, you’ll be down to the nitty gritty that is just you guys, and then you’ll start disagreeing with each other… In other words, you cannot get to where you want to be by pushing against what you do not want—it never, ever works.”

Higher – Sanaya Says

“Catch your lower thoughts.  What are these?  Any that speak of anything less than love.  Any that tell you that you are ‘less than.’  Any that say another is ‘less than.’  Are these the majority of your thoughts?  Then we have some work to do.  Why?  For you have fallen asleep.  Wake up, dreamer!  Banish thoughts that separate you from your true Self.  Align yourself with only the highest thoughts and peace, love, and joy will become your reality.

‘That is Pollyanna type thinking!’ you say with a bit of derision, and we say, ‘Notice your thoughts just then.  How did that affect you?  Are you at peace as you say it?  Are you filled to overflowing with love and joy?’

We rest our case.  Come join us, won’t you, at the higher levels.  You are truly welcome, for it is only then that you will finally feel at Home.”  Suzanne Giesemann.

Holding Space For Another

What does it mean to “hold space” for someone else?

“It means that we are willing to walk alongside another person in whatever journey they’re on without judging them, making them feel inadequate, trying to fix them, or trying to impact the outcome. When we hold space for other people, we open our hearts, offer unconditional support, and let go of judgement and control.

To truly support people in their own growth, transformation, grief, etc., we can’t do it by taking their power away (ie. trying to fix their problems), shaming them (ie. implying that they should know more than they do), or overwhelming them (ie. giving them more information than they’re ready for). We have to be prepared to step to the side so that they can make their own choices, offer them unconditional love and support, give gentle guidance when it’s needed, and make them feel safe even when they make mistakes.

Holding space for another is being supportive, listening to another, and being there for others. It is radical, loving kindness in action.“

Talk Only To Feel Better

“It should only be talked about if the talking will make you feel better. It is of no value, ever, to activate and talk about something that doesn’t feel good, because it reactivates it in your vibration; it makes it another point of your point of attraction so you’re less clear.

In other words, when you focus upon the problems of others, you diminish your ability to help them. People believe that you’ve got to focus upon the problem in order to find a solution. And we say, no solution ever comes forth – it’s never inspired; you never recognize it, and you are never able to facilitate or achieve it – from your place of focusing on the problem. They are two entirely different vibrations.

If you have someone who has many things going wrong and one thing going right, beat the drum of what’s going right, and let that be your point of attraction. If you focus upon their problems, you achieve vibrational harmony with something other than the Source that gives you solution.”

Osho on Zen

Zen

ZEN

“Osho, 
I cannot understand the philosophy of Zen. What should I do to understand it?
Zen is not a philosophy at all. To approach Zen as if it is a philosophy is to begin in a wrong way from the very beginning. A philosophy is something of the mind; Zen is totally beyond the mind. Zen is the process of going above the mind, far away from the mind; it is the process of transcendence, of surpassing the mind. You cannot understand it by the mind, mind has no function in it.
Zen is a state of no-mind, that has to be remembered. It is not Vedanta. Vedanta is a philosophy; you can understand it perfectly well. Zen is not even Buddhism; Buddhism is also a philosophy.
Zen is a very rare flowering – it is one of the strangest things that has happened in the history of consciousness – it is the meeting of Buddha’s experience and Lao Tzu’s experience. Buddha, after all, was part of the Indian heritage: he spoke the language of philosophy; he is perfectly clear, you can understand him. In fact, he avoided all metaphysical questions; he was very simple, clear, logical. But his experience was not of the mind. He was trying to destroy your philosophy by providing you with a negative philosophy. Just as you can take out a thorn from your foot with another thorn, Buddha’s effort was to take out the philosophy from your mind with another philosophy. Once the first thorn has been taken out, both thorns can be thrown away and you will be beyond mind.
But when Buddha’s teachings reached China a tremendously beautiful thing happened: a crossbreeding happened. In China, Lao Tzu has given his experience of Tao in a totally non-philosophical way, in a very absurd way, in a very illogical way. But when the Buddhist meditators, Buddhist mystics, met the Taoist mystics they immediately could understand each other heart to heart, not mind to mind. They could feel the same vibe, they could see that the same inner world had opened, they could smell the same fragrance. And they came closer, and by their coming closer, by their meetings and merging with each other, something new started growing up; that is Zen. It has both the beauty of Buddha and the beauty of Lao Tzu; it is the child of both. Such a meeting has never happened before or since.
Zen is neither Taoist nor Buddhist. It is both and neither. Hence the traditional Buddhists reject Zen and the traditional Taoists also reject Zen. For the traditional Buddhist it is absurd, for the traditional Taoist it is too philosophical, but to those who are really interested in meditation, Zen is an experience. It is neither absurd nor philosophical because both are terms of the mind. It is something transcendental.”
