Samuel: Well, the problem with these new speed entrances—don’t you like that?—is that it doesn’t give time for the body to adjust, and then I spend the first few minutes just sitting here adjusting with you.

So how are you?

Great.

S: You’ve made it through September. Aye, your world’s having a hard time with it, but you look like you’re still here, still going, still doing. That’s a good thing.

So what have you learned—don’t answer this out loud—what have you learned about yourself over the last six weeks, because you will have been finding some deep issues, core issues. So what have you been finding with regard to those core issues? [A dog present at the meeting sighs] Even you?

Yes, he’s [. . .].

And, in addition to that, what have you been seeing around you. “Now, Samuel, surely that’s one I could answer out loud.” Right. It’s a trick question, so just wait.

What have you been seeing around you? What have you been seeing insofar as behaviors of people around you or, perhaps, news articles about things that are going on? What comes to mind that you remember over the last six weeks, and particularly September?

And the reason that I don’t want you answering it aloud is because I want to remind you that what you are seeing is a reflection of yourself. And what you are drawn to, even in the news, is a reflection of yourself. So those issues that have been catching your attention, be they someone else’s—you’re the only person in this universe, you’ve just created everyone else around you so that you’ll have someone to talk to and not feel stupid about it. [Laughing] Good luck with that. It is you.

So now, having thought both of those through, what have you been learning about your own core issues, and what have you been seeing around you? Look for a pattern in there, and in that pattern teach yourself something about yourself.

So I’ll give you a moment. I’ll hum Jingle Bells.

Rudolph.

S: I don’t know that one either. Something like that. There. Cosmic humming. It was just above your hearing line, right? That might work, maybe.

Okay, so you didn’t know we were going to start with a pop quiz did you? So, for anybody who wishes to, what have you learned through this past month? Yes.

I’ve learned that I’m inpatient and I didn’t even know it, and I had to take a survey. And guess what? It was just sad. I’d be calling people saying, “Do you think I’m a patient person?” “Oh my heavens, you’re impatient!” And then it totally opened up a whole big universe to me. And, you know, there was the PT who said, ‘You’re being really impatient with yourself.” I was like, “Oh really?” How many times am I going to have to hear this? And it’s just real interesting, as I familiarize myself with my impatience and work on that, how the world around me has settled down and how things are calmer. Imagine.

S: It is amazing, isn’t it, how that works. Aye.

Any other impatient people in here found the same . . . Oh, yes, lots of hands go up immediately. I hadn’t even finished my statement. Any other impatient people in here—they’re already answering the question! “Why doesn’t he talk faster?” “Why doesn’t he get more in there?” “Why doesn’t he . . .” Forgive me, please. To get the answer out. To get where I’m going. “Yes, get to it, now, now!”

It’s the pedal on the right.

S: “Because my time is the only one that matters.” Right? For those of you who are impatient and have been working on it, have you found the same sort of thing, that as you develop more patience in yourself, the world starts settling down around you? Anybody else found that same sort of thing? Yes, it’s lovely isn’t it? And such a relief, isn’t it?

[Someone moans and everyone laughs]

S: All right, when you first get smacked in the side of the head there’s always a little bruising, and it takes a while for that to drain away. It does.

Yes.

S: It does. Aye.

I’ve found that there’s a direct connection between my impatience with myself and the world at large, and the way I love myself or do not in any given moment. And that that’s been . . . I sort of knew that in the periphery, but it really was in my face this month.

S: Good for you.

I needed to balance that, and that was what I was looking at—for balancing it. And that’s changed things that I see in the world.

S: Good for you.

Well, anytime you can do something that’s going to change how you act, rather than react, in the world, it’s going to be a much better thing for you, because it is going to uncover that which has kept you from fully loving yourself. And that’s what peeling away those layers all the way down to the core does. Because actually at the core of you is only love, but those layers that make up a core issue are put there to protect you, because in so much of this culture and so often in this society, being the loving one, being the one who expresses it and lives it, can make you dangerously different. And by dangerously different, I don’t particularly mean like a spy film—dangerously different. I mean outside of the norm—Oh no!—because that can be very scary. So you find that this behavior creates a layer around that core of love, and this behavior creates another layer, and another layer, and you spend time the more you get to know you and start seeking your spiritual self over the ego, you start spending time peeling off those layers.

It’s exceptionally hard to do because to you those layers are you. They are the personality—or the result of that personality, or the personality is the result of them, that you have been maintaining for how many years?

Many.

S: But it’s just a wall, a protective wall, and many people do not peel down to that core issue because they don’t know what is down there, they don’t know what’s under those layers. And yet, if you were to just stop and think about it, it could be nothing but love, because you are a function of love in this world. That’s what you’re about. So the more you peel, the more loving you become.

I wish that there were “ouchless” core issues like there are “ouchless Band-Aids.”

Yes!

S: Sure.

I became very aware of how my need to be liked and not to rock the boat was a huge disservice to those around me, and to myself, and to the project that we were working on together.

S: Good for you. Oh-ho, good for you, because that meant you were hiding your leadership skills. You were not putting forward things that your experience was by far leagues ahead of the other students that did not have that.

Yes.

S: And did it become a trading of skills that way?

Of trading?

S: Of skills. Trading.

I’m not sure I understand.

S: As you were able to lead here and there, were you also able to learn here and there?

Yes, definitely. Yes.

S: And that’s how leadership works. The leader isn’t the one who knows it all—and I’m doing everything I can to drill in that the leader isn’t the one who does it all. The leader’s the one who knows how to play well with others, share those toys, and is always, always, always willing to learn. You know what I’ve said before: when you stop learning you start dying. And, of course, I don’t mean so go to the books; I mean learning about yourself and your function in this world.

Heidi.

I’ve been trying to be more conscious in the moment, and I’ve learned how little I’ve been in the moment, how little I’ve been conscious. And it’s an ongoing process of . . . even to the point where I see something that I have an association with, that brings me back to a past negative experience. You just go right back there, and I realize that I don’t want to do that.

S: Good for you. Good for you.

You know, it takes a while because you’re constantly saying, “Stop that! Stop that! Be conscious.” I don’t do it out loud when I’m around people I don’t know.

S: Because they tend to take it personally and say, “What was I doing? What was I doing?”

That’s huge, really huge. That’s good. That’s real good.

The problem with the ability . . . let me reword that. The problem with living in a frequency that tries to express itself through time and having a mind that works on an associative process, which means that it also works with time, is that it’s very difficult to resist the appeal of reflection or projection, both of which have a certain amount of necessity in certain situations. A planning meeting: You’re setting up what has been done, you’re very afraid of something, and you need to look back and remind yourself of the successes you’ve had in the past, and that’s why you can move forward now. Those are excellent situations for looking forward or looking back, but for the most part, worrying, looking into the future, looking back at the past—which is a really sick way of memorializing, you know; you’re looking at something dead and you’re recreating it—Dr. Frankenstein—and bringing life back that shouldn’t be there. But it’s so natural that it’s very hard to resist it.

When you catch up with friends, usually you want to know what they’ve been doing, you ask them to go to the past. Or, you want to ask them “So what are your plans now?” [What] are you doing now?” This society says look back, look forward, don’t look where the power is.

Good work.

Mary Claire.

I’ve been really grateful for . . . you have been telling us for a couple of months that everything you see out there is you, and that you can’t be too honest with yourself during this time. And I’ve been really grateful for the energy that is allowing me the clarity to see that in everything and everyone that I experience, that I’m seeing something that I need to understand and know about myself.

There was one experience that I had . . . and I’ve had many, and they’ve all been gifts because it shows me what I need to release, and it’s extraordinary. This one particular gift is seeing myself in someone who’s compulsive, who’s perfectionistic, who was talking to me about something that gave me a choice of either you can just back off and you can just remove yourself from the situation, or—and this is massive—I was in a place of peace and calm, and I said, “Is there anything I can do to help you with this, to make you feel comfortable with this?” And it was so massive and so huge. It was like “What an amazing thing,” because normally I think I probably would have backed off and said, “Okay. Fine.” And she said, “Yes, you can do this.” And I did and she was great. And I watched her the rest of the time that I had contact with her to see what I could learn about myself, and it was wonderful. And I am constantly every day . . . I wake up and say, “Show me with clarity what I need to know.” And I’ve never felt more free in my life because, little step by step by step, I’m releasing those things and replacing something in a behavior that I see that has empowered the new person and the new what I am now.

S: Yes.

And I am so grateful.

S: Such a power there. Such a power there.

And don’t you just love it when you see evidence of your own change.

It gives you a huge lift.

S: Isn’t it great? So you want to anchor that. You want to anchor that awareness, that knowledge of that incredibly wonderful feeling of the joy of overcoming, of standing in power and love and doing the right thing. You want to anchor that into your mind, into your heart, even onto your body. And you know how to do that. I’ve not talked about it in years. Somebody want to give a refresher? It’s not hard. I can even do it in a couple of lines.

All you’re doing to anchor something is that you are re-visualizing it as thoroughly as possible, and you decide where it is on your body you want to be the touch for that, and you simply affirm to yourself, “Everything that I’m feeling right now, this power, this joy, this love, this sense of overcoming, is going to return to me when I touch my heart,” or my big toe or my ear. And then when you find yourself in a place that you want that boost and you consciously put your hand on that anchor point, you’re going to find that this old associative brain of yours is going to kick in and do its thing. It’s going to associate for you. It’s going to put those grand feelings, that brilliance, onto that anchor, and when you put that anchor into work, it’s going to click back to that brilliance. Truly, very simple.

You do need to be careful that you don’t have too many things anchored on your body though. You not only might forget what goes where, but you also might find yourself standing in public going [looks bewildered while touching different parts of his body]. [Audience laughs] You don’t want to do that. Try to stay away from that. That’s not so good. Maybe in this crowd you can get away with it. “Oh, so good to see you.” [Poking different parts of his body.] [Audience laughter]

Lakshmi tell me a non-Scottish way to say the word “Mudra.”

You said that pretty well.

S: Good. That’s the idea behind those mudras. You might even choose to study some of those, because they are spiritual anchors that have an extra dose of empowerment from thousands of years of repetition out in the Source Field already. So take a look, or ask Lakshmi.

We can have a Greenhouse on mudras.

You want me to ask you about that later? [Laughter]

S: Remember that although the equinox through the end of the month was very much the high point for things to start winding down, it doesn’t fully wind down until the end of the year. But September was particularly powerful, not only because it was bringing to you some of your greatest core issues—”Thank you so much, Universe, that’s such a good thing that you do,” and I didn’t even hear you groan—but it was also a very important month, because you had four very important energy transmissions, particularly at the very end of the month.

At the very end of the month . . . first, I think it’s very important for you to realize that your world did not end at the end of the month, no matter how many people were trying to make that so. It just didn’t end. And there were, unfortunately, a good amount of even very spiritual individuals pushing that idea of fear, “be ready.”

Well, never forget that every day your world ends. Every day. You are a new person every day, yes, every moment, but certainly every day, and your world goes out a lot further than the borders of your United States. And there were many, many people who would pretty much disagree with the statement I made when I said your world did not end, because theirs did. It was a very difficult month for much of the world, and everything that I spoke to you about came about, most of which was readily—I think all of which—was readily accessible in the news if you weren’t sticking with only U.S. news. That’s why I encourage you if you’re going to pay attention to the news, don’t just stick to the ones in the U.S. if you want to know what is going on in the world. Do not think that it’s all over until this year is over. Well, all right, until the solstice, more or less.

And here is where the . . . I don’t want to say meat of this message.

Core.

S: I’ll go with heart. This is where the heart of this message comes about. Not with Quinn [the dog standing near Samuel] standing here to hear that. “Here is the meat of the message.” “What?”

It’s all about action and reaction, and your choices. “Will I act? Will I react?” Everything you have been dealing with—literally from the moment you were born, but nonetheless certainly over the last few weeks—everything has been about choices. What kind of choices are you making these days? And are they the kind of choices you want to continue? Are your choices based on what somebody else wants? Because if they are, one-hundred-percent guarantee, that is where reaction is going to show up. Reaction is a function of your not being true to your best self. If your choices are because your boss is making this happen, you are reacting rather than acting when you find yourself resentful or unhappy in the situation. You are acting when you are willing to put yourself aside and do what is needed for the moment, but it requires a choice. “What matters to me?” And again, I don’t mean me; I mean you. So what matters to you? But you’ve got to ask yourself, “What matters to me?”

Well if you’re dealing with the boss from hell where it’s not so easy to just let it slip off, then what might your choice be about there? What are you looking at there? Yes this time I am asking.

Going back to graduate school.

S: Maybe the answer is, “My choice is going to be about getting out of this job, going back to graduate school, getting a greater degree and putting myself into a different part of the job market. Sure. Sure.

Well, sometimes your basic choice is not bosses from hell, but maybe customers from hell.

S: Oh, all right. Or friends from hell, or family from hell.

It’s a short trip to say, “Then do something right now. Look to the future, and move away from that.”

S: Exactly. Exactly my point. And sometimes moving away from that means, “I think I hear the phone ringing.” Or it means looking for a way to not rely on that customer and being free—free—to find another one. Choices.

I find, personally, that it often relates to my expectations that I have about a particular situation or boss or friend or relative, and when I invest all of my expectations in that individual and then they don’t follow through on it, then I’m bereft and I get angry, but I also realize that a lot of it is self-anger.

S: Sure. Sure. And you know that that’s because your expectations tend to be based upon what you believe you would do in that situation. Therefore that would be the right thing to do. Therefore, this person who is supposed to be a leader, an authority, a supervisor, a friend, a parent, a sibling should behave in this way. They should handle this in this way.

[To two members of the audience recently married] Congratulations. It’s about time you made it legal.

They’ve been living in sin all these years.

S: Rescued. Who rescued whom?

So here are the choices: make the world what I want it to be based upon me, or allow the world to be as it is and take care of what I know, what I am—not who I am, because that’s the personality self, that’s those layers of often pain and difficulty that keep you from getting to your heart, that egoic self—ego in the negative sense, not the positive sense that it can be. But I’m saying what you are. And what are you? [Pause] You’re just really . . . what, too much out in the sun today?

There aren’t words to explain.

S: Good save, Mary Claire.

Pure love.

S: Love.

Source.

S: Source. You are energy functioning in this world inside a human costume.

Now, you’ve got Samhain coming up. Are any of you going to put on another costume? So you’ve got the idea of costume down, right? Energy functioning inside a costume. I think if you open your mouth wide enough you can see. It’s just a costume. It’s just a big black hole you’re looking at there. They never told you all the x-rays and images, they’re all faked. There’s nothing there but the spirit you are. Some people like the idea—it’s all fake. Well, in one sense it is.

You’re all, as humans, more or less clones, and I mean that on several levels. The human aspect is a means to function in this world, but it’s only because it allows a casing for the spirit you are. It’s your space suit so that you can breathe the air, and look alive—a little more alive than you look tonight—and communicate with one another.

The most important choice that you made was to come to this life, and you’ve not stopped making choices since then. You are energy functioning through form.

We used to call this transformational channeling, what I’m doing right now, working through the form as I am. It was energy working through the form. Well, the transformational really works, but the reality is that you are all transformational channels. Well, somebody’s going to take that out of context and make that an interesting little quote, aren’t they? But what I’m saying here is, think about it for a moment: you are energy that has taken over a form, and you speak through it—you had to learn the language first—you move around and locomote through the world—some a little better than others—but in the end, or the beginning, or the middle, you are here to channel what you are through who you are. And doing that transforms you and the world around you.

You’re all transformational channels, or a channel for that which brings transformation. It’s easy to forget that, and to get lost in all that this body has to offer. A lot of times illness and painful physical situations can cause you to say, “What am I not doing right?” “What am I doing wrong?” “I must have done something bad in a past life to have this happening to me now.” Hubris. But the fact of it is your channeling takes up a lot of energy.

Stuart runs, “Puff, puff, puff.” Although it’s now [blowing much more slowly] “Puff . . . puff . . . puff. What would happen, love, if you did not increase your calories and do exercises to help the process? What would happen?

Probably injury.

S: All right. I’ll go a little more specifically then. Well, for one thing he would lose a lot of weight because what he’s doing takes up so much of it, and he would be very prone to injury, and he would be much more prone later on to degeneration because of the abuses that came from it.

Now, that’s the same with your body, the very same. As you channel, you are using up massive amounts of physical life energy. And as you use up that life force you must replace it. Now, if you’re simply inhabiting a body, you’re not going to have a lot of those problems, but if you are really using it you’re going to.

“No, it’s not all aging.” I’m constantly amazed at what this world is satisfied with insofar as how a body should behave at particular ages. Well, once you are sixty-five you are now senior and you are no longer expected to be able to do these things. So what? Just curl up in a corner somewhere? I don’t think so.

So you act or you react. You function as simply ego inhabiting a body or spirit channeling the love of Source into this world as you have come here to do. You pay attention to what you are drawn to, what you are seeing around you, what you’re seeing in you, and you make those changes as needed so that they don’t pile up on you all at once and topple the whole thing over.

For much of this world, September toppled them over. It was too filled with their focus upon themselves when they did not have any self to focus on. Do you understand what I’m saying there? You have more. Use what you are, what you know, and feed who you are with it until really who you are can be nothing but what you are.

Real quick: Samhain is, for many of the ancients, thought of as a new beginning time, an excellent time to be born again. Do that. You don’t really need to wait for the power day; it’s something you can do every day. It’s always new. Get out of your rut. Get out of your reactionary state. Do new. Try. Fly. You know this world needs you, but it needs you whole. So be whole.

Glochanumora.
