Bill Watson: Soul is where the inner & outer worlds meet: How do choices determine our souls path?

Published: Nov. 5, 2020, 2:23 a.m.

b'There are many perspectives on what is soul; it\\u2019s like the blind man and the elephant, each has an insight into a larger totality that\\u2019s beyond the view of all.\\xa0\\xa0 I think we get closer to the truth when we are able to suspend judgment about these different perspectives in our exploration of the nature of soul.\\xa0 Bill said -: back by popular demand - haha.\\xa0 Before we get into it he says that words cannot express how important the American election has become for the whole world\\u2026and it is by no means simply about Trump vs. Biden or Republican vs. Democrat.\\xa0 It is about freedom vs. the Great Reset. This is a fight for the soul of America. These are surely interesting times!\\xa0 Fasten your seat belt! Tim - good to know there are soul fans out there - folks who understand empathy and compassion - so what can we say? All living beings have souls; some have \\u201cgroup souls\\u201d, they only function in a group context: a herd, a hive, a flock; do sheep have choices about shearing, being dipped, going to the works?\\xa0 Are those moral choices? Is everything that involves a moral choice a Soul issue for Humans?\\xa0\\xa0 Bill says he thinks do.\\xa0 Sea Shepherd is a soul issue.\\xa0 WHY?\\xa0 The oceans are dying.\\xa0 The whales, from Orcas and Belugas to Blues, are disappearing.\\xa0 We fought whalers for them. 5G is a soul issue.\\xa0 Why?\\xa0 The biosphere (and us) are dying from different forms of radiation. Electrohypersensitivity is becoming more common.\\xa0 Immune systems are weakening.\\xa0\\xa0 We are witnessing a sustained, coordinated attack on\\u2014us It has been subtle and covert for decades, but not any more\\u2026\\xa0\\xa0 And what do we see? \\xa0 Humans are starting to fight back.\\xa0 Getting arrested, sometimes fined, sometimes beaten up, for unlawful (?) assembly.\\xa0 For not wearing masks. As individuated, self-reflective humans, we are a species with individual souls.\\xa0 Soul is the immortal expression of Humans; from a metaphysical (religious, philosophical) perspective we belong to the \\u201cAngelic Soul Group\\u201d.\\xa0 Angelic describes our soul PATH, which is Service to Others. \\xa0If we listen to our inner voices, to our Higher Self, our guides, we stay on the path.\\xa0 It\\u2019s the mind that gets us into trouble!\\xa0\\xa0 What\\u2019s wrong with mind? Because the mind offers an illusion of control.\\xa0 There\'s nothing more joyful, more painful, more useless, and more powerful than the mind.\\xa0 The brilliance of your mind will not save you, it will only make you terribly certain.\\xa0 It took Bill many\\xa0 years to really understand what Gurdjieff meant when he said, \\u201cTo be clever is to be stupid.\\u201d\\xa0 Being clever, wily, tricky is the realm of the mind.\\xa0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Gurdjieff\\xa0 You can turn left by following your intuition and your mind may be giving you a million reasons why it is better to turn right\\u2026 and they might all make sense.\\xa0 But the more you follow your instinct, your gut hunch, which is your inner authority, the more you will be making decisions that are correct for you.\\xa0 It\\u2019s important to not let the mind upset you or call the shots about what direction to take in life. You mentioned guides and higher self.\\xa0 Do you recall your first contact? The year before he started kindy. He saw his two guides, he knew their names, names he had never heard before, and he could see and describe them.\\xa0 One afternoon he opened the front door and let them in, sat them down at a little table in the living room, served them tea and had a conversation with them.\\xa0 His mother and a friend were sitting on the couch and witnessed this.\\xa0 Years later his mother told him that they thought he had a great imagination.\\xa0 He told her that his guests were every bit as real to him as she and her guest were.\\xa0 Contact with his guides tapered off when he went to school the following year, but he never doubted that they were with him, and still are. Saying that 3D Earth is a school: it is a world of opposites, of polarities.\\xa0 Light/Dark, male/female, day/night, inner/outer, harmony/friction, peace/war; peace is a friction-free environment.\\xa0 Yin/Yang,\\xa0 push something long enough and hard enough, it turns into its opposite. It\\u2019s called the doctrine of reversion.\\xa0 We contain the potential for both, and every choice, however small, is a test.\\xa0 It moves us in one direction or another.\\xa0\\xa0 St Paul how often we know the right, yet do the wrong? That comes from listening to mind, using mind to make choices.\\xa0 Better to \\u201cgo inside\\u201d.\\xa0 How do we \\u201cgo inside\\u201d when we are faced with important choices? Your source of inner authority will determine that, we\\u2019re all different.\\xa0\\xa0 It\\u2019s not a made-up authority, or a philosophical one; it is part of your biological mechanism. It\'s your wiring, and it doesn\'t require your mind. It\'s an authority that allows you to operate correctly as yourself, to navigate confidently and skilfully on this plane of reality.\\xa0\\xa0 Sources of authority could be the solar plexus, like mine; or sacral, like yours; or several other possibilities.\\xa0 Since you and I have different sources of inner authority, when we are \\u201ccorrect\\u201d we make decisions in a way different from each other. Tim asks Bill for an example of how our decision process would be different? Wave vs. grunt\\xa0 Any listener can learn more about this, it is valuable knowledge (and knowledge protects) If really important and \\u201cstuck\\u201d or \\u201cstumped\\u201d, Bill Mentions the ancient oracle of China the I Ching.\\xa0 Some interesting banter between Tim and Bill came up around this ancient Chinese oracle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Ching\\xa0 Bill said the Angelic Soul Group\\u2019s path is Service to Others ; you can easily spot them, people who are really STO shine with their own light. In reality most folks here in 3D reality are STS \\u2018Service to Self\\u2019 and need a lamp\\u2014and that\\u2019s OK as long as the core intention is STO.\\xa0 But there are many that consciously left the path many lifetimes ago, and by choice prefer the dark.\\xa0 They are totally committed to STS.\\xa0 They\\u2019re primarily materialistic, greedy, corrupt; they may have made a Faustian bargain at some time, a really bad choice, and they usually have psychopathic tendencies which means they have little or no empathy.\\xa0 They also have the ability to knowingly do harm.\\xa0 They are opportunistic, skillfully dishonest and they seek power. He believes it is a factor of electro-magnetics \\u2014 they actually are \'magnetized to\\u2019 drawn into the wombs they resonate with. Like attracts like. The Bhagavad Gita actually describes that incarnation process \\u201cthey have been \\u201ccast into wombs of similar disposition\\u201d.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhagavad_Gita A good example of this is John D. Rockefeller, who once boasted that he would pay a salary of a million dollars to someone who is "...able to glide over every moral restraint with almost childlike disregard and has, besides other positive qualities, no scruples whatsoever and be ready to kill thousands of victims--without a murmur."($1MM adjusted to today =$31MM) And his son David found one!\\xa0 His name is Henry Kissinger.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 \\u201cIt is not a matter of what is true that counts, but a matter of what is perceived to be true.\\u201d Bill, what was your first awareness that all was not well with the World Soul? High school in the late 50s.\\xa0 I was outraged.\\xa0 800 miles away\\u2026crops destroyed, Oct/Nov 1959 (61 years ago) started to do research.\\xa0 Read Silent Spring in 1962. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Spring\\xa0 "Is there a soul evolution process?\\xa0 In which density is our astral existence?" There are several different models or theories about this, just like no consensus on the transition years from the Baby Boomers to GenX, GenY, Millennials.\\xa0 5th density as I understand it is about contemplation. In the chain of densities, one through seven, the souls exist in 1 through 4 and in 6th, actively, and in 5th density passively, so the 5th is said to be where souls go when you leave your physical body in 3rd density. You get to review this life and learn from it, then decide what it is you want to do in your next incarnation.\\xa0 It is pretty much accepted that the angelic realm, the bardo, the samboghakaya, the 6 lokas, all these \\u201cplaces\\u201d including heaven and hell, are all 5th density destinations that cluster not by geography but by thought wave. Learning is necessary for progress of soul...it\\u2019s all about lessons.\\xa0 This is how we build our power center... What do our souls have to look forward to in a higher density world? There\\u2019s lots of speculation about ascension and what might await us.\\xa0 We have certainly hit a point in time where things are getting worse on this planet.\\xa0 Civilisations come and go in waves, and it is looking like the current wave has peaked and will be crashing in about 12 years, and humanity will be going through a dark patch in the near future. The ones that don\\u2019t wake up will be doing 3rd density over again. In third density we live with the illusion is that there is no link between consciousness and matter. \\xa0\\xa0Actually consciousness can be matter.\\xa0 Light is gravity. Optics are atomic particles, matter is antimatter... just reverse everything to understand the next level... it is all about balance, and the answer must always be zero. And zero is infinity. The illusion is that there is separation. It is the alteration of perception that turns the axis and creates the illusion of distance you can reverse that and understand that there is no distance between us and, say, Alpha Centauri.\\xa0 If you warp space/time you travel by bringing your destination to you.\\xa0 In 4D you have the capability without the "mechanical technology."\\xa0 But even more importantly, you will be able to project into the future and see the consequences of any choice you make in the present.\\xa0 There won\\u2019t be any \\u201cIf only I had done this, or said that\\u2026\\u201d\\xa0 There will be opportunities to work on what you\\u2019re passionate about with like-minded people without interference, betrayal, theft of IP or other painful experiences. Personal story In 1998 Bill was part of a research team in Taiwan, that was conducting a government-funded study of the effects of flower essences on the emotional patterns of Chinese patients.\\xa0\\xa0 One of his colleagues, whom he had known only briefly, was intensely psychic; she downloaded some information about him.\\xa0 She said that three lifetimes ago he made a very big discovery, was on the edge of fame and fortune; however, his results were destroyed and he was discredited by the establishment.\\xa0 This info caused something to crack inside, and it has been under repair ever since, it was a very deep wound that has taken this long to heal.\\xa0 Saying this was very useful information, it helped reveal a pattern in his life, and aside from experiences in this lifetime why he had a deep-seated fear and distrust of the establishment.\\xa0\\xa0 Bill, can you do a quick recap on the different views of soul? There\\u2019s the Pre-modern Classical Paradigm, the Greek and Roman view was\\u2014neither spirit nor body, but an inner impulse.\\xa0 Soul is a living quality of the body that animates it. The Greek word for soul is psyche; it is also the word for butterfly, which implies that it is capable of transmutation or metamorphosis.\\xa0 = reincarnation. (\\xa0 which will be covered at a later date). Soul is what moves us; we experience it in music and poetry\\u2026it is passion, desire, the peaks and depths of experience. Tim talks of Muse\\u2019s in ancient Greece - being in his understanding, Greek for a \\u2018mind angel\\u2019 - that whispers in the ears of philosopher mystics - stories, poetry etc\\xa0 Bill - Says -I correspond with concert cellist in Belgium who writes, \\u201cI can feel the change hanging in the air on a g string \\u201c She says, \\u201cTo be able to listen to music, and let it in, one needs an open heart-- Yet music can also help you open your heart, the vibrations gently massaging the muscles until the Soul is ready to open up and let it in :) So if we are electro-chemical beings we respond to vibratory resonance, and\\xa0 Soul is a mystery: it arises from the world of spirit, and expresses itself through the physical body \\u2026. Q: So where do we find it? It\\u2019s not lost, we just don\\u2019t realise it\\u2019s there.\\xa0\\xa0 The German philosopher Novalis wrote: The seat of the soul is where the inner world and the outer world meet.\\u201d The American poet Auden may have been responding to Novalis when he wrote, \\u201cThe center that I cannot find is known to my unconscious mind.\\u201d \\xa0 He finishes the stanza with, \\u201cI have no reason to despair because I am already there.\\u201d This tallies with what I mentioned in the last talk, Hillman\\u2019s notion that soul is what turns events into experience, that those experiences are our stories, and rightly remembered and shared, they give meaning to our lives. We have the expression \\u201che\\u2019s lost the plot.\\u201d\\xa0 It\\u2019s about finding meaning, Tim.\\xa0 It\\u2019s what makes sense out of our individual lives.\\xa0 When people feel despair, often they have given up hope because they have lost the thread, become disoriented, don\\u2019t know what to do with their lives.\\xa0 One of the classics is Victor Frankl\\u2019s Man\\u2019s search for meaning. He was a WWII holocaust survivor.\\xa0\\xa0 The soul wants meaning and beauty\\u2026but we live in a world of more and more information and less and less meaning! Tim: it\\u2019s a compliment to say that someone has \\u201cthe soul of a poet\\u201d.\\xa0 Why is that? Poems convey meaning in an elegant, compelling way.\\xa0 They \\u201cmove\\u201d us to laughter or tears--or wherever the poet wants to take us.\\xa0 They can express the full range of emotions\\u2014the highs and the lows\\u2014in a way that others relate to.\\xa0\\xa0 Bill wanted to share this poem that takes us deep into the feeling of being out of harmony with the soul:\\xa0\\xa0 In a dark time, the eye begins to see, I meet my shadow in the deepening shade; I hear my echo in the echoing wood-- A lord of nature weeping to a tree. I live between the heron and the wren, Beasts of the hill and serpents of the den. What\'s madness but nobility of soul At odds with circumstance? The day\'s on fire! I know the purity of pure despair, My shadow pinned against a sweating wall. That place among the rocks--is it a cave, Or winding path?\\xa0 The edge is what I have. A steady storm of correspondences! A night flowing with birds, a ragged moon, And in broad day the midnight come again! A man goes far to find out what he is-- Death of the self in a long, tearless night, All natural shapes blazing unnatural light. Dark, dark my light, and darker my desire. My soul, like some heat-maddened summer fly, Keeps buzzing at the sill.\\xa0 Which I is I? A fallen man, I climb out of my fear. The mind enters itself, and God the mind, And one is One, free in the tearing wind. American poet Roethke died at 55, but lived through WWI, the Great Depression, and WWII; he saw\\u2026and felt much.\\xa0 He became manic-depressive after WWII, but was driven to write his best poetry in the last 15 years of his life.\\xa0 He had a hard ride, as did many men and women who have left behind a great legacy. Yes, hard times can certainly bring out the best and the worst in humans\\u2026 Good times and bad have always come in cycles; I believe we\\u2019ve seen the best of times and along with the solar cycle, there\\u2019s a downturning with many out of work , businesses closed; what\\u2019s starting to look like food shortages worldwide and a coup in progress to crash the global economy\\u2026and many are still unaware, there\\u2019s\\u2019 reason to have deep concern for the future.\\xa0 What creates harmony is balance.\\xa0 We\\u2019re \\u2018way out of balance.\\xa0 That creates intolerance.\\xa0 Without tolerance,\\xa0 freedom of expression is endangered.\\xa0 The last thing we need in our society is more government-mandated rules and laws that limit our freedom of expression, which is a core New Zealand value.\\xa0 Policing our speech, censoring our posts and telling us which words we can and cannot use is not the way to achieve a harmonious, tolerant multicultural society.\\xa0 We hear a lot from the gov\\u2019t and from supposedly vulnerable minority groups about the need to embrace diversity, but the one diversity they don\\u2019t tolerate is diversity of opinion. \\u2026and the truth shall make you free.\\u201d\\xa0\\xa0 Today the truth is censored and many who actually hear it refuse to believe it.\\xa0\\xa0 Here are my assumptions about the future: our planet has become a very troubled place things may get worse before they improve people everywhere are being asked to evolve the coming years will be testing time--of resilience, endurance, patience, grounding, focus, non-attachment, good-heartedness. Joseph Campbell wrote that the old myths no longer deal with present reality, and we need to come together, listen to each other\\u2019s stories, create new ones. \\xa0 He was the person who had a large influence on George Lucas of Star Wars.\\xa0 The soul is the intermediary between the inner and the outer ((body and spirit), between life and consciousness; it represents limitless expansion of the higher self.\\xa0 I can say with confidence that my life will end, but my soul will go on. Tim - and hopefully to a more harmonious place ... Let\\u2019s talk about the here and now, and the role of Soul in the science fiction movie that we seem to be living in. Ah, that could be one of many movies, my choices would be They Live or Bladerunner, the 1982 movie based on Philip K. Dick\'s 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? where the replicants rebel against their human creator.\\xa0 It was a very early and accurate portrayal of corporate control and what the modern occult arts can do in the real world. Soul has been reduced to a physical mechanism by modern science, which is creating a world of machine-like creatures!\\xa0 And when we look to the behavioural sciences for soul, it\\u2019s much the same\\u2026 In modern Western culture, Psychology (Greek = knowledge of the soul) treats soul as a mechanism that can be predictably programmed\\u2026to sell products or manipulate public opinion. And worse, MK-ULTRA, program killers and erase their memories On the other hand, Psychotherapy (= soul care) is about increasing self-awareness and enhancing the quality of life of the soul, and there have been huge advances in my lifetime. In the early 90s Bill taught for several years at ITP in CA, which was founded by Abraham Maslow, one of the founding fathers of Transpersonal Psychology\\u2026which recognises a transcendent or spiritual dimension to life\\u2014and which offers a wider context to soul development.\\xa0 Assagioli was also a pioneer; in Psychosynthesis, the Spiritual self is developed as the center of sub-personalities.\\xa0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Assagioli\\xa0 The therapeutic process shines the light of understanding into the dark recesses of the human psyche\\u2026and to understand is to forgive\\u2026and forgiveness has a liberating effect on the soul. (this is one aspect of the transformative process)\\xa0 & Ho\\u2019oponopono. This term is from Hawaii and extremely profound. There is a focus on shadow work --reclaiming & integrating disowned elements of our psyche (disowned or unrecognised emotions, attitudes) The Jungian approach to healing is alchemical\\u2014a series of symbolic processes for doing the inner work and transmuting the soul.\\xa0 It draws on correspondences to archetypes found in the Natural world.\\xa0 I\\u2019ll come back to this alchemical approach.\\xa0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungian_archetypes\\xa0 I also worked with Stan and Christina Grof for two years in the early 90s as Director of the Spiritual Emergence Network; it was created to help souls in crisis, often a Kundalini awakening, occasionally drug-induced. \\u2026Fillmore.\\xa0 \\xa0 www.stangrof.com I think it\\u2019s important for all of us to make the connection between individual neuroses\\u2026and social problems\\u2026and to get involved, socially and politically.\\xa0\\xa0 What about Soul and career choices? What happens if we choose something that is out of harmony with what the soul wants.\\xa0 There are no \\u201cwrong\\u201d choices, there are only \\u201clessons\\u201d.\\xa0 Some people know exactly what they want to do with their lives and start training early; they become expert and successful at a young age\\u2026and then they are faced with different kinds of choices.\\xa0 Others may never find work that satisfies the soul, and change jobs many times (either out of dissatisfaction, or because they have many different lessons to learn, as was my case) Throughout my career I\\u2019ve worked with more than 80 orgs in six different countries; in most cases, the goal was to change the company culture in ways that made them more effective.\\xa0 Effectiveness has two components: efficiency and satisfaction.\\xa0 Work can be \\u201csoul-destroying\\u201d, particularly if the focus is just on efficiency; it\\u2019s a bit like white bread and sugar, all the goodness has been refined out.\\xa0 At one point in his life Roethke (with the soul of a poet) worked as an insurance salesman.\\xa0 Here\\u2019s a poem about what he \\u201csaw\\u201d: I have known the inexorable sadness of pencils, Neat in their boxes, dolor of pad and paper weight, All the misery of manila folders and mucilage, Desolation in immaculate public places, Lonely reception room, lavatory, switchboard, The unalterable pathos of basin and pitcher, Ritual of multigraph, paper-clip, comma, Endless duplication of lives and objects. And I have seen dust from the walls of institutions, Finer than flour, alive, more dangerous than silica, Sift, almost invisible, through long afternoons of tedium, Dropping a fine film on nails and delicate eyebrows, Glazing the pale hair, the duplicate grey standard faces. That poem is called \\u201cDolor\\u201d, the word for grief in Latin.\\xa0\\xa0 I was part of a research team in the 70s that investigated \\u201cwork spirit\\u201d.\\xa0 We interviewed people in \\u201cordinary\\u201d low-level jobs e.g. on the factory floor, they had been doing the same job for years. They were singled out by their supervisor because their performance was consistently excellent. We wanted to find out what motivated them.\\xa0 They were quite extraordinary beings, very peaceful and content within themselves. Examples: (2) One thing that many HR departments frequently use when they\\u2019re hiring is psychometric tests to select the applicant that\\u2019s best suited to the job they\\u2019re applying for.\\xa0 I would propose that in the future, all candidates for public office take a battery of tests, things like the 16PF and what\\u2019s called the Sorenson Pathology Index\\u2014as a measure of their trustworthiness.\\xa0 This has been a perennial problem and finally we are witnessing the extent of the corruption and I believe we will soon be seeing a collapse of people\\u2019s confidence in government, which in a world of global communication is more contagious than a flu virus. Q: \\xa0We are heading toward an evolutionary event horizon at a rate of knots. What themes are emerging from the collective unconscious? The modern scientific point of view is that the soul is a strictly physical entity, located in the Pineal Gland, which Descartes called\\xa0 the \\u201cseat of the soul\\u201d.\\xa0 \\u2026and we are now at the endgame of the age of enlightenment that began in his lifetime in the 17thC: scientific method, based on analytical thinking, became the foundation of modern civilisation.\\xa0 That cosmology which was built on the cornerstones laid by Descartes, Bacon and Galileo.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Those philosophers are responsible for our plight.\\xa0\\xa0 Cosmology describes "the world as (something)\\u2014their assumption is, "world as machine," which is a myth\\u2026and The world soul is crying: let us out!\\xa0 We\\u2019re not machines!\\xa0 We want to be free! We need a new, different, and more promising myth.\\xa0 I like Hendrik Skolimowski\\u2019s point of departure for eco-cosmology, he suggests "world as sanctuary."\\xa0 (from sanctus, a holy place, consecrated ground).\\xa0 \\xa0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henryk_Skolimowski\\xa0 We should be having serious concerns about the ethical standards of the scientists engaged in nuclear, genetic, bio-warfare and nano research, to name a few. It is right to challenge and question, for this has become an age where technology is assuming the status of a god, and as we know, the goal of the transhumanists is to overcome death.\\xa0 This was foretold.\\xa0 We\\u2019ve been warned; it\\u2019s all been hidden in plain sight.\\xa0 We all have to assume a share of the responsibility for giving up our power to these high priests without fully comprehending their values and motives So \\u2026 WHY is all this happening NOW? It\\u2019s all about cycles. \\xa0 We are living through a cycle shift of the World Ages, how that shift correlates to the evolution of both technology and human consciousness, how to live your life in sync with this great cycle change.\\xa0 An \\u201cage\\u201d is one sign of the zodiac, 30 degrees; 2160 years, so each degree is\\xa0 I think a consensus of astrologers would agree that we have fully entered the Aquarian age Like the preceding age of Pisces, Aquarius is a symbol, and symbols are frequencies; they are used to send us info (for good or otherwise)\\u2026and they are being used to manipulate us by sending signals of coming actions through symbols.\\xa0 The core theory is social engineering, the work of Edward Bernays; it\\u2019s about controlling people by manipulating energy and engineering consent.\\xa0 It is the basis of predatory programming and literally a form of black magic.\\xa0 It\'s a form of subliminal mind control,\\xa0 a shell game of misdirection & distraction.\\xa0 And they are expert at it.\\xa0\\xa0 They make plans based on AI, Artificial Intelligence - they have the strategy laid out and they are using AI to drive the tactics because the global chess game is now changing rapidly and one of the transhumanist goals is to connect the human mind to AI.\\xa0 They will be experimenting on profoundly autistic children. https://www.ourplanet.org/greenplanetfm/dr-robin-kelly-what-is-the-trans-humanism-agenda-is-it-machine-versus-soul\\xa0 Of course, the endgame is soul capture or destruction.\\xa0 They want to control us, and already we are seeing the result of lockdowns all over Europe, and how the press, the police and the politicians have been bought with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation money to enforce them and keep the people in fear. So this is a critical moment in history: Demands on Humans are becoming unreasonable.\\xa0 It is no longer about reason and dialogue and finding common ground, it is about power and control.\\xa0 If they succeed, we can expect total surveillance, predictive programming, UBI Universal Basic Income and worse.\\xa0 The technocracy and transhumanist agendas are soul-destroying;\\xa0 If we are to grow out of our adolescent aspiration to play God and control everything, our technological ambition must be scaled down. How can we compete with all that firepower?\\xa0 If we spot something, share the information widely.\\xa0 It will be reviled as conspiracy theory and banned from social media by the tech oligarchs but it shines a spotlight on the way they think and can alter their plans.\\xa0 I can\\u2019t help wondering if any of them are aware that they took a wrong turn somewhere in their past and believe it\\u2019s too late to go back.\\xa0 Like Macbeth at Dunsinane.\\xa0 Come wind, blow wrack\\u2014at least we\\u2019ll die with harness on our back.\\u201d Be aware, don\\u2019t consent if something doesn\\u2019t feel right to you.\\xa0 Do the right thing, no matter what (and trust your gut\\u2014it knows instinctively what the \\u201cright thing\\u201d is).\\xa0 There are consequences for ignoring warning signs, also for doing nothing.\\xa0\\xa0 You mentioned that this is a form of black magic. Is it being used for soul capture? Black magic is the use of occult means to gain power over others.\\xa0 It is not limited to primitive cultures, there are high-tech versions.\\xa0 However the methods to counter it and heal it are traditional and time honoured.\\xa0 That is the realm of the shaman.\\xa0\\xa0 What does that have to do with soul?\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Bill Says says EVERYTHING.\\xa0 The shaman is a soul healer.\\xa0 There is growing soul sickness: we see it in people knowing the right, and doing the wrong (in some cases, the \\u201cwrong\\u201d means doing nothing)\\xa0 We see it in spiritual amnesia--forgetting who we are, and what we\\u2019re here to do. There is soul loss\\u2026that comes about through sale, barter, trickery (being gullible, loss of critical thinking), alienation\\u2026there is a stable full of them in Hollywood. So let\\u2019s briefly explore the shaman\\u2019s view of reality.\\xa0 In virtually all tribal cultures you have a leader, a chief; in Maori culture that\\u2019s the kaumatua; you also have a shaman, that\\u2019s the tohunga.\\xa0 They\'re two different roles; one is a public position and the other is a private position.\\xa0 One looks after the physical well-being of the tribe, the other is a kind of doctor who heals through access to Spirit:\\xa0 Soul is the vehicle for astral travel. For 000s of years, the shamans have been astronauts of inner space\\u2026they are people with an \'active third eye\' who can see directly into higher dimensions.\\xa0 The tribal shaman lived apart from the tribe, their life path was developing occult power to gain access to the realm of spirits.\\xa0 Their primary concern was the relationship of the living to the dead, a relationship intimately associated with the Moon\'s waxing and waning, so they hung out in the mountains with the Moon Goddess.\\xa0\\xa0 The shaman\'s unique gift is the power to release the soul from the bodily frame in order to travel between worlds and return unharmed.\\xa0 In their roles as intermediaries between the living and the dead, between the worlds of the known and the unknown, they were respected and sometimes feared by the common folk.\\xa0 They could heal sickness and bring special knowledge from the spirit world for the benefit of their community.\\xa0 In times of serious trouble the tribe would consult with them--Axis mundi, trance, visit spirits (gods, ancestors) & return with information.\\xa0\\xa0 Whenever we suffer physical or emotional trauma, a part of our Soul flees from the body to survive the experience; with every new incident, our essence and vitality grows weaker. This process is called \\u201cSoul Loss\\u201d; in psychological terms, it\\u2019s called dissociation.\\xa0 It\\u2019s a natural protective mechanism that occurs when we become disconnected from our core, the source of our vitality.\\xa0 It\\u2019s the experience of losing touch with your Soul, which is always there in the background of your life, but it\\u2019s not always accessible due to the psychological traumas, abuses, and other blockages.\\xa0 Dissociation is used to survive potentially destructive traumatic events, such as Any form of abuse, e.g., sexual, emotional, physical or mental An event of prolonged grief, pain, and fear that made you feel helpless or impotent Deep-seated addictions e.g., substance dependency, gambling, eating disorders A near-death or out-of-body experience of NDE Being forced to act against your morals An experience of intense rejection or abandonment Witnessing the unexpected death of someone A sudden and shocking accident Entering a relationship without strong personal boundaries (resulting in an unhealthy relationship and losing your personal power) So how do we regain connection with our Soul?\\xa0 Through a process called Soul Retrieval.\\xa0 In shamanic cultures, Soul loss is understood to be a spiritual illness.\\xa0 When our Soul fragments, the life force weakens and we open to all kinds of emotional, physical, and mental problems.\\xa0 Returning to wholeness and health depends on recovering the missing part or parts of the Soul through the practice of inner work, So for example in Chinese culture, which has shamanic roots, drug, alcohol, gambling and other self-destructive problems are often dealt with by a shaman, not by a psychologist.\\xa0\\xa0 In some shamanic cultures, soul retrieval is treated as an initiatory process.\\xa0 That\\u2019s correct, says Bill saying he has studied Mayan culture and explored archaeological sites in Mexico\\u2019s Yucatan, Chiapas and Guatemala since 1972; He became a Mayan daykeeper in 2004. In the Mayan culture there is a strong oral tradition; everyone sings songs and tells stories.\\xa0 Children are allowed to experience and express the full range of emotions.\\xa0 In initiations into adulthood, a young man or woman must wrestle with Death\\u2014they go down into the underworld to retrieve their own soul from their romantic feelings \\u2013 those are feelings that steal the imagination by stealing their heart, which makes them feel hollow inside\\u2026 \\u2026but before that experience, the elders put them through language training, because in their cultural understanding they believe the greatest weapon against Death is the power of poetic language\\u2026that the words themselves have magical properties.\\xa0 This might sound strange, but you can\'t kill death; the Mayans believe you can only beguile* Death, because it loves beautiful words so much it will make a deal with you.\\xa0 It will say, \'I\'ll give you back your soul IF on a regular basis you send messages to the Holy."\\xa0 (The Holy are 13 gods and 13 goddesses of the underworld; they understand and love metaphor--images without the verb \'to be.\' When you do not have a verb \'to be\' you can\'t speak unless you use metaphor.\\xa0 Gurdjieff said, \\u201cIf there\\u2019s an I in one\\u2019s presence, then God and the devil are of no account.\\u201d * To deceive by guile or charm: \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0To distract the attention of; divert\\xa0 \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0To amuse or charm; delight or fascinate. So the power of these initiations are that they cause these young people to become something that feeds life beyond themselves. It\'s not ego involvement or self enlightenment. It\'s something beyond yourself, for the universe. Right.\\xa0 It\\u2019s pure Service to Others.\\xa0 STO.\\xa0 Grief is a core emotion, it can be too powerful for the psyche to integrate.\\xa0 The soul longs to express feelings but holds back out of fear of the depths of pain that will be released.\\xa0 Shame and depression are considered to be an inability to deal with grief.\\xa0 Somewhere deep in the memory of our souls, no matter what our ancestry, a deep understanding and capacity for wonder sits weeping\\u2026and waiting\\u2026 \\u2026and that emotional blockage can render people powerless in difficult times.\\xa0\\xa0 When we feel powerless, we long to be listened to.\\xa0 The pain is relieved when the story comes out, it frees people\\u2026 \\u2026and when stories are truly heard, it unblocks subconscious amnesia and transforms it into a liquid grief of remembrance. I have many times witnessed this unblocking, it is a powerfully transformative event. Grief properly channeled is the source of art.\\xa0 A Guatemalan shaman who lived through the CIA atrocities in his country over a 36 year period and saw his village destroyed and many of his friends and relatives killed told Bill something similar to what I (Tim) mentioned in last weeks show about the two wolves fighting: He said, "You love what you love more than you love your hate.\\xa0 If what you love is the divine, story, culture, children, then instead of blowing a whistle, you\'ll strive to keep the seeds alive.\\u201d\\xa0 That\\u2019s how he transforms his grief, he considers that the source of his creative power.\\xa0 Keeping "the seeds alive" can be a means of spiritual survival in turbulent times. Mayans treat caves and baths as sacred, places where the gods and first peoples were born.\\xa0 They believe steam baths and sweat lodges cleanse the soul; that was typically done before an important ceremony; Bill says Tim!! - You and I are carrying a burden on behalf of generations of Humans, here and yet to come.\\xa0 Easy to be crushed under the weight of knowledge if people won\\u2019t hear your stories.\\xa0 They need to wake up, stand up, tell their stories before it\\u2019s too late. Bill sailed here to NZ on his yacht - he is a sailor, coming to NZ on a waka. (canoe, boat, kayak)\\xa0 Saying he knows the sky.\\xa0 WHY, when you can see chemtrails frequently\\u2014have they been taboo at climate conferences ever since Rio? That out of bounds because it is not part of the \\u201cagenda\\u201d, which is a big fat LIE.\\xa0 GeoEngineering\\u2014Gates\\u2014Harvard\\u2014American Elements\\u2014Rothschild\\u2019s PG&E.\\xa0 Fires.\\xa0 Hunger.\\xa0 Massive relocations.\\xa0 Landgrabs.\\xa0 Lockdowns.\\xa0 All pieces of the puzzle. At the same time an increase in sex, violence, all free-to-view, another soul trap. Addiction.\\xa0 Sex & love addicts, perversions made socially acceptable.\\xa0 What happens to the soul?\\xa0 Distracted from its mission/purpose/destiny.\\xa0 By devices.\\xa0 By artifice. At this transition point there\\u2019s a war going on in an unseen realm.\\xa0 The Dark Side--Gates, Schwab et.al.--have\\xa0 been \\u201ccast into wombs of similar disposition\\u201d \\u2014 as it says in the Bhagavad Gita.\\xa0 Jean Baudrillard, the French social scientist, said \\u201cThe sad thing about AI is that it lacks artifice and therefore intelligence.\\u201d\\xa0 (= cleverness, crafty, wily) What to do! Go with your intuition. Connect with those who add value, who make right choices Your emotional state is important, if you keep your vibe up, you become invisible to them; our refuge is in higher states of consciousness.\\xa0 I don\\u2019t fear death but I fear the consequences of soul entrapment as the result of wrong choices and embracing the dark.\\xa0 There are Flower Essences (Covered 2 weeks ago)\\xa0 for different situations and mental/emotional states, there\\u2019s no need to carry a burden.\\xa0 As Tim says, let your candle burn brightly\\u2026so to do that you must be clear of emotional baggage.\\xa0 This therapy is both effective and relatively inexpensive. *ln the words of H.G. Wells, \\u201cMaybe the earliest dawn of human greatness will be the mass realisation of the last 200 years and how terribly out of harmony it is.\\u201d In 1781 there was a mutation that transformed humanity.\\xa0 Not all at once, but over time\\u2026from\\xa0 seven-centered strategic beings to nine-centered\\xa0 beings, and no one took much notice.\\xa0 This mutation\\xa0 took place in the visual cortex, which had been honed through our binocular vision into a specific focus.\\xa0 For thousands of years the way in which one scanned the environment was also the way in which one collected information on the inside in terms of the memory system. This mutation in the visual cortex\\xa0 eliminated the need for our binocular vision to focus specifically, it opened up the potential of peripheral\\xa0 or receptive vision.\\xa0 That\'s very\\xa0 different from the narrow focused strategic look that relates to left hemisphere dominance. Saying \\u2026 There will be another significant mutation in this decade, 2027. This isn\\u2019t the time to discuss it, but there are already many signs that it will happen.\\xa0 It\\u2019s all part of the program that we live in, and we are homo sapiens in transitus.\\xa0 Egypt was an ancient culture that had lots of rituals that related to Soul and reincarnation, or life after death.\\xa0 What wisdom have they passed on?\\xa0 The Emerald Tablets are said to be written by Thoth, the Atlantean priest who escaped the deluge and is said to have incarnated into a line of Egyptian pharaohs from the earliest dynastic period for more than 2000 years.\\xa0 Whether that\\u2019s true or not, the Emerald Tablets contain some real soul wisdom.\\xa0 I have a few brief quotes here to illustrate: Man is only what he believeth, a brother of darkness or a child of the Light. Darkness fetters the Soul. Only the one who is seeking may ever hope to be free. The body is nothing.\\xa0 The Soul is ALL.\\xa0 Let not your body be a fetter. Only the Soul is space-free, has life that is really a life. \\u201cWhen ye as men can learn that nothing but progress of Soul can count in the end, then truly ye are free from all bondage, free to work in a harmony of Law.\\u201d There is much more in this interview - and that crying and tears are both a profound and wonderful way to clear our being of hurt, loss\\xa0 and trauma - well worth listening - just from a standpoint of knowing you are not alone. -Tim \\xa0 Next Week\\u2019s Interview: We are still flying by the seat of our pants - Watch this space.'
