It is difficult for you to understand the levels within yourselves to which you can ascend while you are still embodied. Your religions and cultures have taught you that knowledge of the spiritual realms is only available to the most highly evolved ones among you, and that very many years need to be spent in meditation, prayer, and ascetic practices to reach a level that will bring you the experience of peace and love of which your enlightened teachers have told you.

However, this is not the case. Anyone can reach inwards and attain the experience of the knowledge of God. The reason that so few do is because you are mostly caught up in the distractions of the illusion to which your bodies seem to direct so much of your attention.

Your bodies were designed as limiting factors to convince you that the physical environment that you experience through them is the one and only reality that exists.

If your bodies (that represent you while you are experiencing life in the illusion) are unable to be aware of something through those bodily senses then “hey presto” that something does not exist. Over the last few decades some of your scientists have become aware that this is most definitely not true. And of course in ages past this truth was accepted even though not many had direct knowledge of it.

Now many are discovering this for themselves as they detach themselves from the dogma that so many “experts” insist is the only truth: if it cannot be measured it does not exist! Nevertheless, while you are embodied, it remains difficult to find your way into these formerly hidden interior realms where you can actually feel the Love that God is offering you in every moment.

When you do experience the reality of that divine knowledge your whole sense of self changes, and you will then have complete confidence in the Love in which God holds you always. Life as a human will no longer be experienced with the doubts, fears, and anxieties to which you had become accustomed, because you will truly know without any possibility for doubt that you are an essential and inseparable part of God.

One way to reach that place of inner certainty is through meditation or deep relaxation. Trying to reach it does not work, because trying is the ego attempting to control or bring about an outcome that is infinitely beyond its puny capabilities. You are already part of God, so you do not need to strive to become aware of this. Instead, relax and allow this state, your natural state to embrace you.

Within the illusion you are all rather different aspects of the one that you truly are, and consequently your experiences, beliefs, strengths, weaknesses, skills, and capabilities are different, varying according to race, culture, religion or lack of it, sex, and interests. As a result it is not possible for you to follow another’s path to your inner place of peace and knowing. Many have tried to follow another’s apparently wise and holy path, judging their own path as inadequate or unsuitable. But, as I have said, trying does not and cannot work, and attempting to follow another’s path is trying.

The life path on which each of one you finds yourself has been carefully planned just for you. It will present you with the lessons that, with great wisdom and foresight, you arranged to have presented to you at appropriate moments during your human lifetime.

If you will relax and accept them gratefully as they occur you will learn them easily and quickly. If you rile up against them they will just continue to present themselves to you until you do learn them, and this can bring you a considerable amount of pain and suffering.

Your life paths can flow very smoothly if you will allow them to, and when you do you will notice that things seem to pan out far better for you, reducing your stress levels and making it much easier for you to relax and “go with the flow.” This enables serendipitous opportunities to occur far more frequently in your life, so that to others it may well seem that your life is charmed.

This letting-go and allowing is what makes it possible for you to reach that inner place of peace where God can make Himself known to you. You relax and allow, and then He presents Himself to you in a way that demonstrates, without any room at all for doubt, that you are indeed an eternal being infinitely loved by your Father, and safe forever in His divine embrace.

Your loving brother, Jesus.

All shadows will have dissipated as the clarity of Reality surrounds you.

Many of you are feeling down and depressed as it seems that your awakening is not getting any nearer. You feel that you have been holding the Light, changing your attitudes, practicing loving behavior and yet nothing is happening that indicates your efforts are in any way effective. Remember, the illusion is fighting for its existence, it is a collective egoic structure that is maintained by fear, suffering, and violence, and what you see happening, if you focus on the bad news around the planet, are its death throes. It is making its last desperate efforts to renew itself, but its foundations are crumbling prior to its inevitable collapse. Continue to have faith in God’s divine plan for you to awaken into the brilliant Light of eternal day where all that has caused you pain and suffering will be gone, leaving only Reality, Love, the absolute bliss of being one with your Father, complete, joyful,and forever at Peace in the enlightened Knowledge of His loving embrace. Then all will be clear and all shadows will have dissipated as the clarity of Reality surrounds you.

You have been working your way homewards towards this glorious conclusion to the game of separation in which you have been engaged for many lifetimes, and that conclusion, that awakening into awareness of who you truly are is fast approaching. Do not let the apparent reality of the illusion, with the chaos and confusion it is spreading in its final attempts to convince you that it is real, drag you down into a morass of self-doubt and self-recrimination about your worthiness to experience God’s Love for you, or, worse still, into doubting the existence of God. You are, you always have been, and you always will be perfect creations of your divine Father, forever at one with Him in Heaven – Paradise, Reality – because there is nowhere else. That is where you are, and the realization of that, the awareness of that, the truth of that will show you, once and for all, that you have been asleep and dreaming of a nowhere place that you had made up in your minds to amuse yourselves. The amusement ended, and since then you have been endeavoring to awaken, and the moment for that to happen is at hand.

God in His ineffable Love and Wisdom could not and would not allow you to remain asleep and unaware of who you really are, which is why He provided you with all that you need to awaken, and why He has been actively encouraging you to do so since you first entered that unreal state. He knows you want to wake up, He knows you have undergone the very convincing but completely unreal experience of intense suffering, and He wants only for you to release yourselves from that nightmare by embracing one another in the Love that is your true state of being. Love is infinite, utterly complete in and of Itself, and within It nothing that is unloving can possibly be present. Your awakening is a process of letting go of anything that is incompatible with that divine state, and you have been working towards it for what seems like an interminable length of time.

The point at which you started to realize the insanity of behaving unlovingly was the moment when it became possible for you to consider letting go of the illusion, because it became immediately apparent that what you were experiencing so vividly could only be unreal. Nevertheless, you were reluctant to disengage from the behaviors that had become endemic as you sought safety, acceptance, and love in that strange illusory environment from which they had been excluded.

Those very behaviors that you thought would protect you were, and continue to be, the ties that bind you to the illusion, because, as you have often been reminded, anything unloving cannot be present in the state of Love. You have been reluctant to release them because of the intense sense of insecurity with which the illusion presents you, and because as you look around you you see intense suffering from which you wish to be separated. But separation is suffering, it is the delusion that separation from others provides you with safety and security from attack, and enables you to attack others to keep yourselves safe. As all are one to attack anyone is to attack yourselves.

Your awakening process continues to move rapidly forwards because your awareness of this truth is intensifying and spreading, and more and more of you are intending to cooperate in loving behaviors that will enable you to release that fearful need to be separate. It seems to many of you that you have one foot in Reality and one in the illusion – you believe that there is only oneness, that separation is an illusion, and yet you are still experiencing separation. However, this concept is in itself a great step forwards. And with each step forwards you increase your acceleration towards your inevitable arrival at your heavenly destination. Just continue holding your Light on high; doing so reminds you of your divine heritage and strengthens your intent to awaken, and this will assist and encourage others to do the same. It is an acceptance of the reality of your oneness and it helps to further dissipate the sense of separation that binds you to the illusion. The bindings that remain are far fewer then ever before, and are now close to breaking. You know this, so relax into the certainty of your impending awakening.

With so very much love, Saul.

Mary Magdalene: Return of the ‘Wild Woman’

2012-02-24T16:38:00.000+01:00

“You do not Live Fully if You Cannot Access Your Feelings, In Fact You are Disconnected From Your Soul.”

Channeld by Pamela Kribbe

http://www.jeshua.net

Pamela channels Mary Magdalene

Dear friends,

All three of us are present here today: Jeshua, Mary and Mary-Magdalene. We are honored to be here with you. We see you as our brothers and sisters. We are one at heart and for me, Jeshua, it is especially liberating to be here alongside my female friends.

Because I am often seen as the one representative of the Christ energy. That is not the whole truth, however. There were women at my side in my life who were essential to my mission. In those times, it was not acceptable for women to do what I did, to be a public teacher.

But my mother and Mary-Magdalene were both spiritual warriors. They helped me plant the seeds of the Christ-consciousness.

Today we speak of the male and female energies. My female soul mates and I speak in one voice. In your history, the female energy has become wounded in a profound way.

This has had important consequences for both women and men on Earth. It is not just women who have suffered from the male dominion, men also have been wounded.

We will first discuss the female wound. We ask you to imagine a female person. She represents the whole of the feminine energy. Now the female energy has been degraded and treated with violence.

The effect this had on women is that they withdrew from the lower part of the body where their power resides. Especially when there has been sexual violence, the emotional trauma causes women to retract their consciousness from the lower part of their body. It becomes hard for them to be self-aware and grounded.

Envisage a woman in front of your inner eye. It represents the collective energy of women. In this image you can see that there is a kind of hole in the area of her belly. She has withdrawn her consciousness from this area and she feels insecure because she lacks foundation.

Inside her belly you can hear screams of anguish and pain. And we would like to invite you all, both men and women, to radiate light out to this woman, to her belly. In this way you are also giving it to yourself.

Now Mary-Magdalene wants to speak.

I am Mary-Magdalene. I love you deeply. I am always with you. I have risen above the female wound and I now wish to touch this area of pain very gently to help women heal.

I would like to see them being born again with joy and firmness, so that the power of the female can return in a peaceful way. I do not wish to fight or struggle. I come in peace and I have a special plea to women.

You have all been wounded in history, but in this time you are regaining your strength. This is your age, this is your time. I wish to remind you that men need help now as well. You as women are familiar with the wound in your belly, the pain and trauma of being degraded. But what happened to men?

Because of the dominating male energies in the past and the energies of power and oppression, men were forced to close down their hearts. They had to be strong and harsh, this was the ideal picture of being male. But in that way men became alienated from there feeling side.

Many men got locked up in their heads; it became difficult for them to express their emotions and their feelings. The inability to connect with your feeling side, your feminine side, is also a wound.

You do not live life fully if you cannot access your feelings. In fact, you are disconnected from your soul.

In many men, there is a sense of loneliness and alienation which can be perceived as a hole in their hearts.

So you see: both men and women have been wounded in the past. Women’s wound is located in the belly, men’s wound is like a hole in their heart. I wish to say to women today that as you regain your power, as you recognize your true strength: reach out to men.

They need your help; they have become estranged, alienated from home. Have the kindness in your heart to be compassionate with them. The New Earth can only be born if the two of you make peace. If men and women understand each other’s wounds, they can build a bridge between them.

I ask women to join me in sending light to the hole in your belly. From that light, a cord develops and goes right into the Earth. Feel your connection to mother Earth as a woman.

Your feminine energy is so powerful and essential to life. Remember your true strength. As you feel your self-consciousness grow, reach out to men and send light to the hole in their heart.

You are on the verge of a new time in history. Your are meant to join together as men and women. You are invited to have joy and laughter again as human beings. In many of you I see tired warriors; you have struggled and struggled and some of you a very tired and disappointed.

The answer to your pain lies in a very simple life. By that I mean: feeling truly connected to Earth again and enjoying the simple pleasures of being human. To experience the love between man and woman, to have friendship with likeminded people and to live in peace with your surroundings and with nature is the promise of the new Earth.

In my life on Earth I experienced the female wound deeply. I was a dear friend of Jeshua. I could feel his strength and wisdom but also his pains and doubts. There was an intimate understanding between the two of us.

I experienced deep grief and sorrow when he had to leave Earth, when he was killed. Often, when he would speak to us, I could feel his messages not just in my head but throughout my whole body. I did not like to argue about his ideas, about his messages, like his male disciples did.

In that respect, I was a little different from them. They sometimes mocked me and I felt lonely at times. I was regarded as a “wild woman”, I was unconventional.

Presently, I am really joyful to see that wild women are welcome again in the world! Much has changed since the times of Jeshua. I tell you: wild women will be the leaders of the new world!

I invite you all to stand up in your true power. In the past, when women were “wild”, meaning independent, unconventional and passionate, they were often labeled as hysterical. In the Middle Ages, they were called witches.

But really, those women – I was one of them – were moved by love. Now it is time again for women to show their true power, not in any aggressive way but in a way that reconciles the male and female energies.

Thank you very much for being here with me today!

Técnicas De Autocontrol

2012-02-22T18:01:00.001+01:00

No es difícil encontrar pacientes que se resisten a ser guiados por otra persona para el cambio de determinados aspectos de su vida. De hecho, éste es uno de los factores que puede hacer fracasar la terapia (la falta de participación e implicación del sujeto).

Este factor puede solucionarse adoptando un modelo de intervención más participativo, que implique y motive al sujeto, transmitiéndole lo idónea y necesaria que es su cooperación en el diseño y puesta en marcha del programa.

El objetivo final de los programas de autocontrol es que el individuo aprenda a ser su propio terapeuta.

Según Kanfer, los programas de autocontrol vienen fundamentados por las siguientes razones:

Existencia de muchas conductas que sólo resultan accesibles al propio sujeto.
Las conductas problemas suelen estar relacionadas con autorreacciones y actividad cognitiva, no susceptibles de observación directa.
Es necesario plantear una intervención que presente el cambio como positivo y factible para el sujeto, de manera que se maximice su motivación para el cambio.
La intervención no debe acabar sólo con los conflictos presentes, sino enseñar al sujeto cómo manejar posibles recaídas o nuevos problemas.

BASES TEÓRICAS

Las etiquetas autorregulación, autocontrol y autodisciplina, son a menudo utilizadas indistintamente.

Sin embargo, algunos autores establecen matices:

Kanfer y Goldstein: Utilizan el término autorregulación para referirse a los casos en los que la persona dirige su propia conducta, pero, las modificaciones que lleva a cabo no suponen el control de ninguna respuesta conflictiva.

La conflictividad sí está presente en el concepto de autocontrol (el sujeto inicia una conducta controladora que va a tratar de alterar la probabilidad de ocurrencia de una conducta conflictiva (conducta controlada)).

Por tanto, el término autorregulación sería más general y englobaría conceptos más restringidos como el de autocontrol.

Interpretaciones erróneas:

Autocontrol = restricción (no hacer determinadas cosas). Sin embargo, las estrategias de autocontrol no suponen siempre no hacer, sino poner en marcha conductas que alteren la frecuencia de ocurrencia de otras, disminuyéndola o aumentándola.

Requisito para poder hablar de autocontrol: Que la conducta se ponga en marcha sin ninguna instigación exterior, física o social, sino por variables autogeneradas.

Autocontrol vs fuerza de voluntad:

La fuerza de voluntad se ha identificado como una variable de personalidad relativamente estable, no susceptible de entrenamiento (el sujeto la posee o no).

Esta concepción de autocontrol como rasgo resulta poco práctica, ya que cierra las puertas al entrenamiento y por tanto a la modificación del comportamiento del sujeto. Únicamente aporta una definición tautológica del concepto de autocontrol (una persona manifiesta autocontrol porque posee fuerza de voluntad, y posee fuerza de voluntad, porque inicia conductas d autocontrol).

Desde el punto de vista de la terapia de la conducta, el concepto de autocontrol se ve como una habilidad entrenable que conforma un continuo, a lo largo del que se sitúan las personas.

La manifestación de autocontrol es el resultado del conocimiento que el sujeto tiene acerca de las relaciones funcionales que controlan su comportamiento, por lo que, el aumento de dicho conocimiento llevaría a un incremento del autocontrol (Thoresen y Mahoney)

DEFINICIÓN DEL TÉRMINO:

Thoresen y Mahoney: Una persona muestra autocontrol cuando, en ausencia de imposiciones externas inmediatas, lleva a cabo una conducta cuya probabilidad es menor que otras conductas disponibles en su repertorio.

Esta definición no hace referencia a la conflictividad de la respuestas controladas (Kanfer y Goldstein). Las variables que ponen en marcha las estrategias de autocontrol, son las consecuencias aversivas que a corto o largo plazo tienen las respuestas objeto de control, a persar de sus inmediatos efectos positivos.

Por tanto, el AUTOOCNTROL es: La habilidad susceptible de aprendizaje, que engloba cualquier conducta controlada exclusivamente por variables autogeneradas (físicas, sociales o cognitivas), que trate de alterar la probabilidad de ocurrencia de otra conducta, cuyas consecuencias, podrían resultar aversivas para el individuo.

PROCEDIMIENTO BÁSICO

FASES DEL ENTRENAMIENTO EN AUTOCONTROL

Autoobservación: Enseñar al paciente a operativizar sus problemas, para después obtener datos acerca de las características topográficas y las relaciones funcionales de los mismos.
Establecimiento de objetivos: El paciente habrá de decidir qué nivel de control quiere alcanzar sobre la respuesta conflictiva.
Entrenamiento en técnicas concretas y establecimiento de criterios de ejecución: Se deciden las técnicas concretas de autocontrol en las que se entrenará al cliente. Se establecen las reglas de conducta que guiarán todo el entrenamiento (qué se compromete a hacer el cliente y en qué momentos concretos).
Aplicación de las técnicas en contexto real: Una vez que se ha llevado a cabo el entrenamiento en la consulta, se pone en práctica lo aprendido en la vida diaria.

Autoobservación. Identificación de la situación problemática.

Aplicación de la técnica adecuada a los requerimientos de la situación.

Autoevaluación. Comparación de la ejecución en ésta situación con los criterios conductuales que previamente se habían establecido.

Autorrefuerzo o autocastigo en función de la adecuación de la conducta a los criterios de ejecución.

Autocorrección. En caso de que la conducta no haya alcanzado los criterios establecidos, habrá que identificar si el problema ha estado en la autoobservación, en la aplicación de la técnica o en la autoevaluación.

Revisión de las aplicaciones con el terapeuta: Se analizan las dificultades y problemas que hayan surgido.

El esquema de un entrenamiento en autocontrol, es el mismo que el de otro tipo de intervenciones. La diferencia está en que el objetivo de los programas de autocontrol no es la eliminación del problema puntual, sino que el sujeto internalice unas técnicas y una metodología de manejo de situaciones que le permita el abordaje de otros aspectos problemáticos.

Sólo cuando el sujeto sea capaz de utilizar las técnicas aprendidas por sí mismo, podemos hablar de autocontrol (si el sujeto las utiliza por indicación del terapeuta, se tratará de autocontrol).

TÉCNICAS DE AUTOCONTROL

Técnicas de control estimular: Se planifica el contexto estimular en el que tiene lugar la respuestas controlada de manera que su probabilidad sea alterada. La intervención se realiza antes de que la conducta tenga lugar, manipulando los estímulos discriminativos que la controlan.
Técnicas de programación conductual: La intervención se realiza a posteriori, manipulando las consecuencias de la respuesta una vez que ésta ha tenido lugar.

Pero, es necesario motivar al sujeto para el cambio, haciéndolo parecer como positivo y accesible a sus posibilidades, mediante la estructuración del proceso de entrenamiento y la clarificación de las metas.

Técnicas encaminadas a conseguir éstos objetivos:

1. Autoobservación:

Es imprescindible que el sujeto aprenda a detectar su conducta problemática antes de intentar modificarla.

La primera tarea del terapeuta será hacer ver al cliente la importancia de tener un registro preciso acerca de sus conductas problema y enseñarle a operativizarlas (expresiones claras y concretas, susceptibles de observación y cuantificación).

Los métodos usados en la autoobservación, varían en función de las características de la respuesta en la que estemos interesados y de la naturaleza de la misma.

La autoobservación está sujeta a un proceso de aprendizaje, por tanto, progresará cualitativa y cuantitativamente al os larga de la aplicación del programa de autocontrol.

La autoobservación proporciona feedback inmediato.

Por tanto, la autoobservación tiene un doble objetivo:

Motivar al cliente, al implicarle activamente en el programa y percibir los efectos positivos que la técnica tiene sobre su conducta.
Posibilitar que el sujeto aprenda a detectar qué condiciones propician su conducta problema.

2. Contratos conductuales:

Sirven para formalizar el programa de intervención de manera que el sujeto sepa qué hacer en cada momento y qué contingencias ha de administrarse.

3. Programación de tareas intersesiones:

La finalidad:

Fomentar la participación del individuo, haciendo que se integre de manera activa en el programa de cambio.
Ofrecer al sujeto la posibilidad de ensayar todo lo aprendido con el terapeuta, y darse cuenta de las dificultades que encuentra en su puesta en marcha, para su posterior discusión en la consulta.

Estas tareas son también una manera de obtener información acerca de las posibles áreas conflictivas en la vida del sujeto.

La asignación de tareas, en los programas de autocontrol, alcanza un papel central, por hacer que el cliente asuma su responsabilidad en el cambio..

Los ejercicios asignados deben estar adaptados a las posibilidades del individuo (al principio deben ser sencillos, permitiendo un logro rápido de objetivos).

TÉCNICAS DE CONTROL ESTIMULAR

Están encaminadas a planificar el medio social y físico en el que se desenvuelve el sujeto, modificando ciertos aspectos que alterarán la probabilidad de la respuesta controlada.

Introducidas en un principio por Ferster, Nurnberger y Levitt, asociadas a problemas de obesidad. También se han aplicado con éxito a problemas sexuales, control de conductas adictivas, incremento de la conducta de estudio, problemas maritales, insomnio, etc.

Para Avia, el control estimular implica alguna de las siguientes estrategias:

Restricción física: Encaminada a prevenir una respuesta (ponerse guantes para no morderse las uñas).
Eliminación de estímulos: Hacer desaparecer los estímulos discriminativos elicitadores de conductas conflictivas que deseamos eliminar (sacar la TV del cuarto de estudio).
Cambiar los estímulos discriminativos: Restringir el número de estímulos elicitadores de una respuesta (fumar solo en determinadas ocasiones).
Cambiar el medio social: Introducir alguna persona en el contexto, para que su presencia impida la realización de la respuesta problema (el exhibicionista sale siempre con un amigo).
Modificar las propias condiciones físicas o fisiológicas: Modificar el propio medio interno del sujeto para que se reduzca la probabilidad de ciertas respuestas (tomar algo antes de ir a comprar para evitar tentaciones).

Estas técnicas, por sí solas, no producen cambios estables y duraderos, por lo que se requiere entrenar al sujeto en conductas y estrategias alternativas que sustituyan los comportamientos problemáticos (no solo enseñar al obeso a no comprar producto hipercalóricos, sino a que lleve una dieta equilibrada).

En un primer momento, cuando el individuo carece todavía de estrategias de afrontamiento, un método puede ser evitar los estímulos que elicitan comportamientos problemáticos (cambiar la ruta del trabajo para no pasar por el bar). Este tipo de control se correspondería con la primera fase del autocontrol de Kanfer, llamada autocontrol decisional.

Una vez que el sujeto posee habilidades suficientes, estaríamos en la segunda etapa llamada autocontrol demorado (pasar por delante del bar haciéndonos autoinstrucciones de los que se debe realizar).

TÉCNICAS DE PROGRAMACIÓN CONDUCTUAL

La intervención se realiza una vez que la conducta se ha llevado a cabo. Se manipulan las consecuencias de la respuesta a controlar.

1. AUTORREFORZAMIENTO:

Cuando es el propio individuo quien aplica, exclusiva y contingentemente, las consecuencias reforzantes de la conducta.

Requisitos del autorreforzamiento:

Que el sujeto emita la conducta libremente sin ser obligado a realizarla por agentes externos.
Que la entrega contingente del refuerzo sea autoadministrada.

Refuerzos a utilizar: Del mismo tipo que en condiciones de refuerzo externo.

Material: dinero, comida.
Actividades gratificantes: ir al cine.
Reforzamiento simbólico: expresiones positivas.
Retirada de un estímulo aversivo o reforzamiento negativo: retirar la foto en bañador antes de empezar el régimen.

Es importante determinar qué criterios conductuales y qué cantidad de refuerzo se obtendrá por la conducta realizada. Esto será decidido a priori por el terapeuta y el cliente, durante el diseño del programa de autorreforzamiento. Los efectos de la autoadministración se ven incrementados al permitir a los sujeto decidir los criterios de reforzamiento que se aplicará.

En el caso del autorreforzamiento, las consideraciones a hacer al cliente son las mismas que si el refuerzo fuese heteroaplicado.

Sin embargo, las condiciones específicas del autorreforzamiento (que el sujeto sea el único responsable de dispensar o no el refuerzo), pueden hacer que el individuo se vuelva poco a poco más indulgente relaje los criterios y se administre los refuerzos sin haber alcanzado el nivel de ejecución establecido.

2. AUTOCASTIGO:

Consiste en la autoadministración de consecuencias aversivas contingentemente a la realización de la conducta a eliminar.

El sujeto decidirá previamente con el terapeuta, qué conducta será objeto de castigo, bajo qué condiciones, y el tipo y cantidad de castigo que se administrará.

Los procedimientos utilizados son los mismos que cuando el castigo es heteroadministrado:

Físico: golpe con una goma.
Simbólico: Expresiones verbales de autocrítica o desaprobación.
Retirada de estímulos positivos: No tomar postre.

Según Kanfer, el autocastigo es poco útil para eliminar la respuesta objetivo, debido a:

Falta de sistematicidad en la autoadministración.
Al hecho de que el sujeto interprete el castigo como un método para poder realizar la conducta castigada (éste problema puede subsanarse si el terapeuta controla la administración del castigo).

Por tanto, el autocastigo debe ser una técnica a utilizar como último recurso, y siempre en combinación con otras técnicas (autorreforzamiento, control estimular y entrenamiento en habilidades alternativas).

3. MÉTODOS ENCUBIERTOS:

Propuestos por Cautela.

Consiste en utilizar la imaginación del sujeto para la representación de estímulos, respuestas y consecuencias, reforzantes o aversivas.

Condición indispensable: Que el sujeto tenga un nivel suficiente de capacidad imaginativa, es decir, debe ser capaz de imaginar vívidamente la situación.

Si no es así, se realizará un entrenamiento en imaginación.

a) Sensibilización encubierta:

Consiste en que el individuo se imagine a sí mismo realizando la conducta cuya frecuencia pretende reducir y, de manera contingente y brusca, pase a imaginar algún acontecimiento aversivo que el comportamiento podría acarrear a largo plazo, o algún hecho que, aunque poco real, resulte muy aversivo para el sujeto.

Se suele utilizar asociada a autorreforzamiento negativo.

Otra manera: Usar la imaginación únicamente para anticipar las consecuencias aversivas que puede generar la respuesta problema, o para hacer contingente a la misma algún acontecimiento muy aversivo.

La conducta objetivo sin embargo, se está ejecutando en la realidad.

Esta variante se suele utilizar en problemas de obesidad, para el autocontrol de la conducta de comer en exceso, o para dejar de fumar.

b) Autorreforzamiento encubierto:

Imaginar la conducta objeto de control y la autoadministración de consecuencias reforzantes tambien de manera imaginada.

En éste caso, también puede utilizarse solo la imaginación para la presentación de los estímulos positivos.

Ejemplo: Persona con exceso de peso que mientras realiza ejercicio físico, se imagina paseando por una playa con un llamativo bañador.

c) Modelado encubierto:

Utiliza la imaginación para presentar al sujeto un modelo seguro, hábil y capaz, que realiza la conducta temida.

Primero, el sujeto se imagina a sí mismo actuando tal y como él se comporta habitualmente, para, posteriormente, imaginar cómo el modelo realiza una actuación adecuada.

El terapeuta indicará las características relevantes de la conducta del modelo, para que preste mayor atención.

Variante de Susskind, mediante su técnica de "autoimagen idealizada": el sujeto no imagina un modelo sino a sí mismo, pero llevando a cabo algún cambio en la conducta, que entre dentro de sus posibilidades.

Ventajas de las técnicas encubiertas:

Fácil uso en la vida diaria.
Posibilidad de ensayar el afrontamiento de situaciones problemáticas en la consulta.

Problema:

Imposibilidad de controlar la ejecución del sujeto (inaccesibilidad del terapeuta a la imagen que realmente se está formando el sujeto).

AUTOINSTRUCCIONES

Formulada pro Meichenbaum en 1969, a partir de los trabajos de Luria y de Vigotsky, para tratar de abordar los problemas de ejecución que manifiestan los niños hiperactivos, en la resolución de tareas.

Consiste en aprender a utilizar una serie de comentarios y sugerencias que controlen la realización de la tarea, de forma que el sujeto los internalice y generalice, transformándose así en un esquema cognitivo, que vaya guiando su comportamiento.

Pasos de entrenamiento autoinstruccional:

El modelo realiza la conducta, dándose las autoinstruciones pertinentes en voz alta.
El sujeto realiza la conducta y el modelo le da autoinstrucciones en voz alta.
El sujeto realiza la conducta y se da autoinstrucciones en voz alta.
Mientras el individuo realiza la tarea, se da las autoinstrucciones en voz baja.
El sujeto realiza la tarea con autoinstrucciones encubiertas.

Las autoinstrucciones concretas que utilice el sujeto, deberán referirse a los siguientes pasos de la resolución de la tarea:

Definición del problema: ¿Qué tengo que hacer?.
Aproximación al problema: ¿Qué me piden concretamente que haga?.
Focalización de la atención: ¿Qué datos tengo?.
Autorrefuerzo. Los estoy planteando bien.
Autoverbalizaciones para afrontar los errores: Me he equivocado, pero puedo repetirlo.
Autoevaluación: ¿Lo he resuelto bien?.
Autorrefuerzo.

La importancia de las autoinstrucciones es que se tarta de un método que sirve para guiar el aprendizaje, puede usarse para facilitar la puesta en marcha del resto de las técnicas que se utilicen, por tanto, resulta conveniente su inclusión en cualquier programa de entrenamiento en autocontrol.

CONSIDERACIONES FINALES Y EVALUACIÓN CRÍTICA

Los métodos expuestos, no agotan la totalidad de los que pueden ser utilizados en programas de entrenamiento en autocontrol. En realidad, cualquier técnica de modificación de la conducta, puede ser aprendida e incorporada al repertorio conductual del sujeto, para posteriormente, utilizarla en la vida diaria.

Llegar a tener un nivel adecuado de autocontrol permite al sujeto una mejor adaptación al medio y una mayor autoestima.

El terapeuta en éste proceso tiene un papel exclusivamente temporal, de apoyo y guía del cambio conductual, debiendo ser cuidadoso para no detentar responsabilidades que el cliente ya esté en condiciones de asumir.

Actualmente, cada vez más están apareciendo libros, vídeos y programas divulgativos, que reclaman la atención de la población, acerca de las posibilidades de mejora en distintas áreas de la vida a través de estrategias de autocontrol.

Así, éstos programas ofrecen:

La posibilidad de que el sujeto aprenda a cambiar su comportamiento sin necesidad de la ayuda del terapeuta, motivándole mediante la presentación de casos similares que consiguieron resolver el problema.
Aportan al sujeto ideas que le permiten aplicar y ajustar las técnicas a sus propios problemas, aun cuando no sean específicamente los que se abordan.

Conclusión final: La consciencia acerca del interés y la importancia del autocontrol, está abandonando el ámbito de la relación terapéutica para divulgarse de manera más general entre la población.

The divine Light of God’s Love shines more and more brightly upon you as you intensify your practice of behaving lovingly, and as you work to release any attitudes or behaviors that are less than completely in alignment with those that will lead you Home. Opening your hearts and offering love, compassion, acceptance, and forgiveness to all with whom you interact are the most effective ways to bring yourselves Home to Reality, as the fully conscious and fully awakened divine beings that you have always been. Your arrival is assured because there is nowhere else that you can go! Focus on this truth and allow it to lift your spirits in joy as your awareness that it is indeed true bubbles up into your consciousness, even as you continue to experience the illusion and the problems and issues with which it presents you while you continue to wend your way homewards.

All of humanity is making this journey even though enormous numbers of them seem to be utterly unaware of the fact that they are divine spiritual beings lost in the illusion. They may well feel lost, but it seems to them that that is humanity’s natural state and so they accept it reluctantly and work with it as best they can. Needless to say, when they awaken and discover the truth of who they are, their joy will be boundless. And your job is to assist them in this momentous task of which they remain unaware. By your loving behavior you spark a ray of light, or sound a gong within them, and that causes these temporarily lost ones to pause momentarily in their headlong rush for worldly satisfaction (completely unattainable, as it is) as they wonder “what on earth was that?”

After this has happened to them a few times they begin to consider the possibility that there may be more to living than just chasing the various carrots that the illusion seems to hold out for them to grab hold of. And initially that is a very unsettling thought which mostly they dismiss as irrational and try to forget; but it does not work, because they keep meeting loving behavior for which there seems to be no reasonable explanation, as those offering it are obviously not gaining any benefits, hidden or disguised, from being so open and honest. It confuses them and worries them, and finally they make a move to investigate what is causing these unsettling experiences – why are loved ones, people they know, and even complete strangers behaving in these unfamiliar and unexpectedly loving ways.

Slowly but surely they start to discover that their own attitudes and behaviors are far less than generous and this they find very disturbing, making them question their motives, which until then had seemed to be totally reasonable (”just like everyone else’s”) but which now leave them with a sense of regret, sometimes bordering on disgust. Realization is uncomfortably dawning that the virtues of honesty and integrity, which they had assumed were of a most impractical nature and therefore necessarily avoided in the “real world,” are essential behavioral traits that have to be embraced, lived, and demonstrated if they are to live at peace with themselves. And that is a shocking realization, one they would rather not have had.

Nevertheless, they find that there is no going back when this realization breaks into their awareness, and from wanting to dismiss it or ignore it they progress to seeking further information to validate it. And when they do they have to change themselves so that their lifestyles match their new understanding. At first it is quite difficult for them because they feel uncomfortable at being seen to have become, perhaps rather suddenly, understanding and compassionate individuals. But as they become more familiar with their new selves they find their previous high stress levels – stress of which they were often almost completely unconscious – falling away and being replaced by a feeling of peace and satisfaction that they had never before experienced. And all their relationships show a marked improvement.

These ones are discovering themselves through the loving behavior that all of you demonstrate. You will have very little, if any, sense or knowledge of the effect you have had on them, but, like them, you will be experiencing reduced levels of stress, improved relationships, and a new-found peacefulness and satisfaction with life even though you remain within the illusion. That will indicate to you that you are firmly established on your path to awakening, and enable you to remember that your homecoming is divinely assured. You are fulfilling your sacred contracts beautifully and have every reason to feel content and satisfied, so release any remaining needs for self-judgment or disparagement because they are completely misplaced and inappropriate.

With so very much love, Saul.

You truly are greatly honored

Humanity’s intention to awaken is intensifying as the divine energy field enveloping the planet continues to spread its loving influence among all nations, all races, and all religious persuasions. The rhetoric that is reported on the mainstream media does not reflect what is really happening, nor does the constant attention being paid to the areas where war is being waged. Wars are obviously ongoing and extremely painful for those involved in them, but the growth in love planetwide far outweighs the negative energies that wars support and encourage. Focus your attention on the growing influence that this love field is having on humanity, intend that it continue to spread its influence, and make a point of being loving yourselves at all times. You cannot see how effective you are when you do this, but I assure you that the effect you have when you behave lovingly is huge, and it is felt by and influences everyone on Planet Earth.

You are on Earth at this time because, with divine guidance, you chose to be here to bring all to awakening, and you knew when you made that choice that it was not going to be easy, because you understood that living seemingly separated from the Source of all existence would entail the extreme loneliness of being almost unaware of your own divine connections. Despite that you chose to be here because of your intense love for God and for your sisters and brothers who were apparently lost in the illusion. For making that choice you truly are greatly honored. Know that you are divinely supported in every moment, even though the majority of you do not have any experiential sense of that, and that you will succeed in what you set out to do because it is the divine Will, and in that you are all essential and most effective partners with God.

To awaken, as you have been told numerous times, is your inevitable and unalterable destiny, and in spite of the doubts that at times seem to plague you, almost crushing your faith and your confidence in God’s Will for you, nothing can or will prevent it from happening. For your own comfort it helps you enormously to spend time daily with your egoic minds switched off, or at least with the volume turned down or muted, because then you can tune in to your intuition and receive the support and guidance that is offered to you by your spiritual assistants whenever you are ready to listen.

Your intuition is the path to the Light burning deep within you that God placed there to illuminate your way Home. It is essential that you make contact with it so that you can absorb the abundance of Love that it offers you and connect with its guidance, so that in every situation in which you find yourselves you receive the information you need to respond appropriately. Responding appropriately to situations you are faced with strengthens your resolve to behave lovingly – always – and behaving lovingly brings you closer to awakening.

You are Love, you were created from God’s divine Love field, but most of you have only the haziest notion of what this really means, and so you continue to discount yourselves, and humanity generally, as you allow yourselves to be caught up in the distractions of the illusion. These attempt to convince you that the illusion is real, that it came into existence by chance after billions of years of convenient coincidences, and that there is no supreme intelligence beyond the limited abilities that your most able minds are capable of accessing. This is a collective egoic ploy to strengthen your ego’s hold on each one of you and ensure that you remain unable to discover your divine heritage, by convincing you that you are tiny specks of inadvertent consciousness adrift in a vast and insensitive universe. Fortunately the ego is part of the illusion, and so it too will dissolve and disappear when you awaken into Reality and into the resultant awareness that you are all one with God.

God has no need of an ego, despite the fearful descriptions in many religious texts that have portrayed a god with a strong and judgmental one, watching your every thought, word, and action, and preparing to condemn you to extreme and everlasting torture if you did not pay him his due respect. And to do that is of course impossible, because his demands upon you are endless, insane, and intended to destroy you, because in that was his satisfaction. It has been an egoic ploy to control you and prevent you from remembering who you really were – beings of infinite power, one with God, existing eternally in divine bliss – thus allowing the ego to continue to exist.

You made your egos when you chose separation, and they seem to have lives of their own – you often observe them at work in other people! But they are only figments of your collective imaginations, and will, as it were, be subsumed back into you when you awaken. They are the bits of you that think you are separate from one another and from God, the bits that live in fear and loathing, terrified of what they have done. But they have done nothing and have nothing to fear. Embrace them with your love, not by pandering to them and allowing them to mislead you, but by showing them the Love burning within you that accepts them as essential parts of yourselves, even though they are playing rather painfully with negativity and lovelessness, and by showing them that there is absolutely nothing to fear because they too are part of God’s divine creation – the part that tried to hide from Him – and that they too are on their way Home, into the Oneness that is Reality.

With so very much love, Saul.

Intend to accept that all humans are the divine offspring of God

2012-02-19T10:31:00.001+01:00

By John Smallman

Love binds us together, gently, sweetly, and eternally, because it is the field in which all of creation has its existence – at one with God. In the illusion hate, violence, conflict, suffering, and disagreement are endemic – a consequence of the choice to be separate from God. Choosing to be separate from God is also a choice to be separate from one another, and that is why those experiences occur; they could not occur if you were at one. But, of course, you are all one, and so choosing to engage in those damaging behaviors directed at others is inevitably a choice to damage yourselves. You think that by attacking or defending you are protecting yourselves against the attacks of others, but it is really only you attempting to protect yourselves from yourselves by attacking yourselves. It makes absolutely no sense at all!

Within the illusion is it not easy to be aware of this; you experience pain, fear, and suffering that seem utterly real – it therefore seems insane not to take precautions to keep yourselves secure, and very few would disagree with you. But this presents you with an insoluble problem which is that as long as you continue behaving in these simplistic and unrealistic ways, pain, suffering, fear, and insecurity will remain your constant lifelong companions. These kinds of behavior breed more of the same, and they encourage each other efficiently and enthusiastically, thus adding additional support to the illusion.

Love unites, fear divides. And fear has been the motivating factor in human life for eons. Now, however, this is changing because, over time, some of you have come to realize this, have started to practice love, and have found that largely it works. It is not yet totally successful because so far very few are ready to embrace this new way of living in every moment and situation that occurs in their lives, mainly because they have suffered tremendously and have learned that to trust is to be betrayed. Nevertheless, there are some among you who are practicing loving behavior and attitudes and you are greatly admired in the spiritual realms. You are also greatly admired by those within the illusion who are themselves coming to an awareness that there has to be a better way, and they recognize it when they see you demonstrating it by behaving lovingly.

This sea change in attitudes and behaviors started slowly as a few thoughtful individuals realized the enormous power of love and began to use it to bring peace and sanity into their lives. Then others asked to be taught these skills. And of course, initially the results were small and local, but like ripples on a pond, the effects spread outwards in ever increasing circles, and now many are aware and are seeking the courage to let go of fear and engage with love. They need only ask their guides or angels for help with this and it will be instantly offered. All over the world examples are being seen of the success that these loving ways are having in bringing about much needed change.

This sea change has now become a tidal wave that cannot be arrested or diverted, and signs of this are becoming visible all over the globe as politicians and the governments with which they are engaged try desperately to prevent control of their “subjects” slipping from their grasp. However, people are seeing more and more clearly how corrupt the political systems under which they are living have become. They are ready for change – major change – to occur, and they are deciding that now is the time for this to happen.

It will occur – peacefully – because people are basically reasonable, despite the dishonesty and betrayal so many of them have experienced when they have trusted those who claimed to have their best interests at heart, and they want to bring to an end the dishonesty and corruption that has festered for so long in their governmental systems. They have seen what those traits deliver, and so it is their intention to terminate the secrecy and diversion of attention occurring in public affairs and return to a transparent and open system in which the genuine needs of the people are addressed and dealt with in a fashion that delivers fairly to all involved, bypassing the special interests and secret agendas that have for so long been prevalent and pervasive throughout your governments worldwide. Consequently, they are well aware that only peaceful means can bring about the permanent changes necessary to bring lasting peace and abundance to all on the planet.

If you want to participate in and be a part of these uplifting and inspiring developments happening across the world by helping to bring them about, then intend to be loving, intend to be compassionate, and intend to accept that all humans are the divine offspring of God, and that they are as entitled as you are to the benefits and joys that He desires you to experience eternally in Heaven at one with Him. Love is invading the planet, It is offering Itself to everyone, and It wants only eternal joy for all. Open your hearts in welcome and allow all negativity to dissolve into the unreality from which it came.

Your loving brother, Jesus.

Wishes Fulfilled- Wayne Dyer

2012-02-17T10:21:00.001+01:00

Wayne Dyer's newest book, Wishes Fulfilled is dedicated to your mastery of the art of realizing all your desires. The greatest gift you have been given is the gift of your imagination. Everything that now exists was once imagined. And everything that will ever exist must first be imagined.

Changing Your Concept of Yourself

"Health, wealth, beauty, and genius are not created; they are only manifested by the arrangement of your mind—that is, by your concept of yourself, and your concept of yourself is all that you accept and consent to as true."
—NEVILLE

There's a level of awareness available to you that you are probably unfamiliar with. It extends upward and transcends the ordinary level of consciousness that you're most accustomed to. At this higher plane of existence, which you and every human being who has ever lived can access at will, the fulfillment of wishes is not only probable—it is guaranteed.

After 18 months in relative seclusion, studying, meditating, and literally experiencing what it's like to live in this miraculous plane of existence beyond anything that might be labeled "ordinary" or "normal," I've undertaken this joyous task of writing about having wishes fulfilled. I've seen firsthand how virtually every wish or desire I've placed my attention on has transformed from a mental thought into an objective fact.

However, I'm not proposing memorizing an esoteric formula leading to a theoretical nirvana. My emphasis throughout this book is that manifestation is real and that it occurs when you make a specific decision to change your mind about who you are and what is possible for you to achieve within these parentheses in eternity called your life.

I'm inviting you to be receptive to a radical new idea about yourself. It's radical because ever since you left your mother's womb, you've been subjected to cultural conditioning designed to help you be content with living a "normal life" at the level of ordinary consciousness, which generally means accepting whatever life hands you. In many ways you've been programmed to believe that you do not possess the wisdom or ability to manifest the fulfillment of your wishes and desires.

I am saying as clearly as I know how to say it in these opening pages: There's a plane of awareness that you can opt to live at, wherein you can, if you are willing to change your concept of yourself as an ordinary being, find yourself fulfilling any and all wishes that you have for yourself. Throughout this book I'll explore with you what I've studied, learned, internalized, practiced, and, yes, lived regarding the powers of manifestation. It begins with changing your concept of yourself.

I would like to offer a few words on these two concepts of ordinary and extraordinary.

Ordinary is, well, so ordinary. It means that you do all of the things that your culture and your family have programmed you to do. It implies that you fit in, study hard, follow the rules, take care of your obligations, fill out the forms, pay your taxes, get a job, and do what every law-abiding citizen does; and then you retire, play with your grandchildren, and ultimately die. I want to emphasize that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this scenario—it is perfectly fine—but if it were completely acceptable for you, you wouldn't be reading this book.

Extraordinary encompasses most of ordinary, since we all live in the same physical world. There will be forms to fill out, rules that demand our obedience, bills to pay, and family obligations to attend to. But extraordinary consciousness is associated with your soul, that invisible, boundaryless energy that looks out from behind your eyeballs and has very different interests than your ordinary self does.

The ideal of your soul, the thing that it yearns for, is not more knowledge. It is not interested in comparison, nor winning, nor light, nor ownership, nor even happiness. The ideal of your soul is space, expansion, and immensity, and the one thing it needs more than anything else is to be free to expand, to reach out and to embrace the infinite. Why? Because your soul is infinity itself. It has no restrictions or limitations—it resists being fenced in—and when you attempt to contain it with rules and obligations, it is miserable.

Your invisible self is extraordinary because it is a fragment of the universal soul, which is infinite. The part of you that knows you have greatness, and is stirred by the idea of you expanding and removing any and all limitations, is what I am addressing in Wishes Fulfilled. This is your new self-concept, one that is inspired by your soul.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
—ALBERT EINSTEIN

While walking down a crowded street in London many years ago, I noticed a window display devoted to the English poet William Blake. There was a quotation on a sign in the window that I read over and over. The words seemed to touch my soul, and I was prompted by an internal calling to write those words on the back of an envelope. Blake's 200-year-old words resonated strongly with me. I had a curious knowing that I'd one day be writing about what he'd had to say.

Fast-forward some ten years later to the day I began writing this chapter about that most mysterious function of our human lives—our imagination. During the morning before settling in to write, I was searching for some tax records in a desk drawer. Unsought, the Blake quote scribbled on the back of an envelope, which had long ago been misplaced, appeared. As I grabbed the ten-year-old envelope, I pondered for a moment how Divine synchronicity is always working, moving the pieces around while our ego believes we are in charge. Here I was, ready to begin writing a chapter on how to use your imagination, and today of all days, these scribbles reappeared after a decade of being "lost." How could I ignore this synchronicity?

So I share these words with you from my spiritual mentor back in the 18th century:

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a Green thing that stands in the way. Some see Nature all Ridicule and Deformity... and some scarce see Nature at all. But to the eyes of the Man of Imagination, Nature is Imagination itself.

The greatest gift you were ever given was the gift of your imagination. Within your magical inner realm is the capacity to have all of your wishes fulfilled. Here in your imagination lies the greatest power you will ever know. It is your domain for creating the life that you desire, and the best part of it is that you are the monarch with all of the inherent powers to rule your world as you desire.

The essence of this great gift is found within another observation made by William Blake, the intuitive poet who lived at the time of the American Revolution. Writing in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, he made this wry comment that is the great secret for living a life of creative manifestation: "What is now proved was once only imagin'd." Allow yourself to contemplate this. As this one line of great wisdom sinks into your consciousness, your imagination will then begin to take over.

Look around you. Everything that you can experience with your senses was once in someone's imagination. This is the great truth that you must come to realize for yourself. In order for something to get into this world where things exist and are proved, as Blake says, they must first be placed firmly into your imagination. Without your imagination as the reason for future creations, the process of creativity is halted. You have this great power within you. It is a power that is virtually unlimited, and it has been given to you as your birthright.

Before putting this gift to work, it is crucial for you to know that virtually all spiritual teachings have spoken of the power that Blake comments on in that insightful sentence, "What is now proved was once only imagin'd." In the year that I spent researching and living the Tao for my book Change Your Thoughts—Change Your Life, this truth jumped out at me in the lines of the 40th verse of the Tao Te Ching. "Being is born of nonbeing" was Lao-tzu's observation 2,500 years ago. The visible world of being originates in nonbeing. Some 500 years later Jesus would tell his followers, "It is the Spirit who gives life" (John 6:63). I could go on through all of the great spiritual traditions and offer you quote upon quote that states that it is in the invisible formless realm that the originating spark of life begins.

Today, the world of quantum physics confirms that the universe is made of formless (spirit) energy, and that particles (that is, things) do not originate from particles (things). Everything springs from something that is akin to your imagination. You can't touch, taste, see, hear, or smell it. It has no boundaries. You can't prove it with mathematical formulas or scientific verification. Yet we all know that it exists. These invisible thoughts that you have—these ideas that continue to percolate within you, these fanciful images that are always with you—are beyond the scope of science to prove or disprove.

I love this observation made by Max Planck, the father of quantum theory: "Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and, therefore, part of the mystery that we are trying to solve." You simply know that you have an imagination, and that this imagination is the Source of all being. It is up to you to channel and use this magnificent endowment to work in the creation of all that you choose to place in that imagination.

Your wishes—all of them—can indeed be fulfilled. By using your imagination and practicing the art of assuming the feeling of your wishes being fulfilled, and steadfastly refusing to allow any evidence of the outer world to distract you from your intentions, you will discover that you, by virtue of your spiritual awareness, possess the ability to become the person you were destined to be.

The Power of Your Imagination

Figuratively tattoo these words of Neville onto your forehead. In other words, memorize them, and repeat them to yourself every time you look into the mirror:

Disregard appearances, conditions, in fact all evidence of your senses that deny the fulfillment of your desire. Rest in the assumption that you are already what you want to be, for in that determined assumption you and your Infinite Being are merged in creative unity, and with your Infinite Being (God) all things are possible. God never fails.

Your concept of yourself is being replaced by a new concept of yourself.

A new self-concept begins with you placing it in your imagination and living from this new perspective. You can count on your five senses to attempt to convince you that you should pay homage only to them and treat your imagination as unimportant and illusory. But that doesn't mean that you have to allow them to usurp your new concept of yourself.

Right now, in this moment, you can practice this. Say aloud or to yourself, By placing new I ams into my imagination, my future dream is a present fact. Repeat the statement a few times. Can you feel your ego resisting? Which of your five senses is most adamantly annoyed? Notice and repeat. This new concept of yourself as God, or at least as a spark of God, asks you to think like God, Who "calls those things which do not exist as though they did."

Here, you are creating an ideal of what you want to be and assuming that you already are that person. This is what Neville calls the Law of Assumption, and he states emphatically, "If this assumption is persisted in until it becomes your dominant feeling, the attainment of your ideal is inevitable."

Remind yourself that your imagination is yours to use as you decide, and that everything you wish to manifest into your physical world must first be placed firmly in your imagination in order to grow. Let Neville's words guide you:

Therefore, to incarnate a new and greater value of yourself, you must assume that you already are what you want to be and then live by faith in this assumption—which is not yet incarnate in the body of your life—in confidence that this new value or state of consciousness will become incarnated through your absolute fidelity to the assumption that you are that which you desire to be.

This is a total transformation of your entire being.

Within your imagination, you can conceive thoughts of what you want as already here—prior to their birth in form in the sensory world. This means that your thoughts aren't along the lines of: I will be. I hope it works out. I'm praying for good results. Instead, you say to yourself: I am—acknowledging the I am presence as God dwelling in me. Then your mind as that I am presence will become the dominant creative feature in your life. This generative force will gently assert its authentic creativity and power as you conceive it, and in the process replace a dependency on your physical and intellectual abilities. Your renewed reality does not rely exclusively on those five senses that keep you attached to the false beliefs that you are your body or its possessions, achievements, and reputation.

You've already discovered that the different bodies you've occupied throughout your life so far no longer exist for your senses to experience. Now you can choose to consciously participate in this nonsensory supreme reality—your imagination—where you assume your future dream to be a present fact and live from this new awareness. This isn't pretending or fooling yourself, it is inviting your spirit rather than your physical form to generate the creative essence of your reality. It's what it means to transform your life.

The word transformation has the word form right smack in the middle, preceded by trans—meaning going beyond form. Live from the place that will indeed take you way beyond the limits of your seemingly limited life. Explore imagination, which is the Source of all being or physical reality.

Throughout my life I've often been called excessively persistent and even obsessive in going after what I wish to fulfill. The truth is that I have within me a very powerful knowing that when I place something into my imagination, it is already a fact for me. I just don't seem to have the capacity to erase from my mind what it is that is already my reality. For instance, earlier in my life when I applied to a doctoral program, I already saw myself with a doctorate, although I hadn't taken even one course toward that degree. When I was told that nine out of ten doctoral students do not receive their degree because they cannot complete the vigorous requirements of writing a dissertation, I knew that this did not apply to me, because I was already a doctor in my imagination. I persistently acted as if my dream were a present fact.

I've had this same kind of "thinking from the end" in every phase of my professional career. As a young boy I saw myself on television shows and vehemently held this inner picture in my imagination, ignoring a lot of naysayers! And these imaginings ultimately were taken from my mind, where they were real, to the material world, where my senses finally caught up and confirmed them as truths.

The facts are, for me, that a picture in my imagination is already my reality. I live from this perspective, and nothing can dissuade me from this stance because I am not hoping to get someplace else. I am already there. I just don't know how to erase what I am living in my imagination, even if the whole world attempts to persuade me of the folly of my dreams. This is a mind-set you can choose to embrace.

Let go of all doubt, forget about the when. It will develop into a material fact on Divine time. Forget about the how. Live it inwardly. This is a great power that you possess if you are willing to claim it as your own.

I cannot emphasize strongly enough how vital it is for you to claim this inherent power of God and use it for manifesting the life you desire. Be obstinate regarding this idea. Hold your vision relentlessly, and more than that—live each day as if that idea you have in your imagination is in fact your reality. In The "I AM" Discourses, Saint Germain repeatedly reminds us that we are the master and have dominion in our lives; once this is part of your awareness, you can access the energy, power, and intelligence of the mighty I am presence, which is your very birthright. This I am presence is always with you.

Waiting, as the anticipation and excitement builds, is hard for you. Your patience has been well tested over the last few years as you have been looking forward to and preparing for humanity’s awakening, and as the moment for this marvelous event draws ever closer, your stress and tension levels mount. That is unavoidable, but keep focusing on its inevitability. God has promised it, and so it will occur, precisely as planned.

Your spiritual evolution has been advancing slowly but steadily for eons, with occasional missteps and diversions, but over the last three or four centuries your rate of progress has been accelerating exponentially, although it may not seem like that to you, and you are now approaching the level from which you will awaken and discover what marvels you have achieved. From almost total ignorance, aligned with just basic reactive behavior, you have moved forward to an awareness of love, compassion, cooperation, and kindness and have started to use those concepts to engage with one another more and more frequently, and are delighting in how incredibly effective they are at dealing with every kind of problem and situation that you have to cope with in your daily lives. As you demonstrate this by living it, others learn to do likewise, and so these extremely effective concepts are literally exploding into humanity’s awareness all over the planet and are being put into practice to bring about the essential changes that will enable and bring about peace and prosperity for all on Earth.

It has taken humanity a long time to reach this stage or level in its ongoing development, but it is a stage from which retreat or backsliding is impossible, and the vistas that will open up to you are magnificent indeed. Awakening into your divine and natural state of being fully conscious will expand your awareness and knowledge beyond all recognition as compared to the limited state in which you are presently able to avail of them. In your awakened state even the abilities of the most intellectually gifted and brilliant among you, as you now experience existence, will be seen to be of absolutely no consequence, in fact without any merit at all except for the help they have given you on your path to wakefulness when you occasionally chose to use them for that mighty purpose.

In your awakened and natural state the Love in which God’s embrace holds you eternally will fill you with His Wisdom and the infinite abilities that He possesses so that you co-create with Him for the everlasting joy and pleasure of all. There will be no problems with egoic urges attempting to seek attention by being first or best, because knowing that you are all one – and eternally experiencing that state, and it will be infinite and ecstatic – joy will be constantly created for all, in a delicious state of cooperation that defies any description that could have meaning for you while you remain limited by the confining nature of the illusion.

Those of you who think about it wonder whatever could have persuaded you to attempt to separate yourselves from your loving Creator in the first place. Life in the illusion, to put it very mildly indeed, is not terribly satisfactory, and all the information you receive from the spiritual realms tells you that the divine wonders of existence in Reality, at one with God, cannot possibly be explained to you because to actually experience that state is the only way that it can be understood. Nevertheless, you have the indwelling sense that it exists, that it is Heaven, and that it is a truly magnificent state, and so you ask yourselves, and one another, “Why on earth would we have chosen to leave it and be separated from God?” And that is indeed a most reasonable question.

In your natural state you are infinite Wisdom, infinite Knowledge, and infinite Love. You have everything and you need nothing. But the thought occurred, “What would it be like to be separate from God?” And instantly you experienced that weird and lonely state because thought produces instant results. Yes, it is an imaginary state because separation from God is impossible, and outside of Him there is nothing because there is no outside. However, the result was – the illusion. And here you are but a moment later, and about to return to Reality.

Time is illusory; it seems real, and without it you would be unable see, hear, taste, touch, smell, and generally interact with one another and the environment that the illusion contains. Time is like an infinite slowing down of Reality, enabling causes to have effects, and as a result chains of events unfold, completing the experience of the illusion for you. An illusion lasts no time! But when you are apparently caught up within it, it seems interminable. It appears to have all started many billions of years ago, and yet it is but a momentary aberration that cannot last. You are to awaken, you have been asleep for but an instant, and your joy will be ecstatic. So relax, be loving, open yourselves to your Father’s Love so that It can dispel the illusion, and allow yourselves to awaken. Remember, you do have free will, and to open yourselves to His love is to choose to awaken.

With so very much love, Saul.

You are all now in a highly accelerated state of releasing

2012-02-12T10:54:00.001+01:00

By John Smallman

When humanity awakens as one into its divine and fully-conscious state, there will be great rejoicing throughout creation. Its awakening has been planned since the moment apparent separation occurred eons ago, and the moment for that plan to reach completion is at hand. All can awaken, and only a very small number of humans will choose not to, as the benefits of awakening are infinite and inestimable. As you open more and more fully to the divine Love field that supports you always, you will begin to appreciate how this must be so, because when you engage with Love, operate in Love, and share Love it becomes readily apparent that living in joy is the only possibility because It dissolves all unloving attitudes and behaviors.

That is what you are doing at present – releasing all that would interfere with Love. Because you have spent so many lifetimes in the illusion you have accumulated an enormous amount of negativity, resentment, and intolerance which you have become accustomed to directing at others, and needless to say, those others have redirected it back towards you. You have built a continuous feedback loop of unlovingness which feeds on itself and causes suffering for all, and that is what you are all in the process of undoing. Some are further along the path of undoing than others and need to help them to catch up so that all will arrive together at the grand moment of awakening into the glory of God’s brilliant and eternal day.

Throwing off all traces of unlovingness is the way forwards, and you have abundant assistance from the spiritual realms to ensure that you succeed in completing this task in a timely manner. However, you do need, each and every one of you, to become increasingly aware of your moods and emotional states so that you can maintain loving attitudes and behaviors at all times – by choosing to do so, regardless of any disturbing emotions or moods you are experiencing. With practice you will find that your moods and emotions do not control you and that you can operate lovingly in any situation, and as this realization grows the seeming need to respond according to those moods and emotions will weaken and fall away.

Many of you have restrained yourselves – often with difficulty – from behaving unlovingly to a loved one when you were in a bad mood, realizing that it would be most inappropriate. And later, when the mood had dissipated, you were very relieved that you did so. Now you need to practice doing this in every situation where you are tempted to attack another or defend yourselves, until it becomes your normal response. When that happens, instead of sensing an attack on yourself you will see only the pain in the other, to which you can respond lovingly, and love and compassion will flow from you easily and effectively to resolve or bypass the issues that seem to be causing the problem.

You are all on the path to eternal Love because that is your natural state. Deep within yourselves you know this, and this knowledge drives the misguided search within the illusion, in which so many of you engage, to find someone who will love you as you so desperately desire to be loved. But of course you are and always have been infinitely divinely loved, that can never change. By entering the illusion you chose to separate yourselves from the experience of that eternal Love, and feeling lost and alone without it you sought it in others. But those others also feel alone and inadequately loved. The result is that you go into relationships displaying a mask that you hope will appeal to the other, and the other does likewise.

Often, instead of offering love, of which the supply available to you is infinitely abundant, you demand it, making the other feel used and abused. Of course many of you do manage to work through these issues, become loving, and establish stable relationships. Nevertheless, because these are relationships formed within the illusion they are in a sense illusory, and can therefore never provide what you are seeking: the unconditional Love in which God embraces you all eternally. You tend to become co-dependent, so that when separation occurs, due to physical death or divorce, in the ensuing loneliness you once again experience that intense need for love.

It resides within you, hidden under the heaps of resentment and grudges that have built up over lifetimes in the illusion and which you are all now in a highly accelerated state of uncovering and releasing. You are Love because it is from That that you were created, and the Flame of that Love continues to burn eternally within each one of you, waiting for you to remove the debris under which It is hidden so that It can blaze forth as divinely intended. The piles of debris are rapidly dwindling as you all become more loving and the divine Flame within each of you will not be contained for very much longer. Then your seeking will be over.

Your loving brother, Jesus.

Saul: It will be like an Awakening in the Awakening

http://johnsmallman.wordpress.com/2012/02/08/it-will-be-like-an-awakening-before-the-awakening/

We are one. There is no separation. Everyone’s attitudes and behaviors have far-reaching effects way beyond their immediate physical placement. Consequently, as humanity engages lovingly with itself with increasing intentionality, great changes are occurring all across the world that are having wonderful and most profound effects which are enormously beneficial to all on the planet.
You have been making your way forwards towards this moment with great determination for eons, despite the obstacles and disappointments that have frequently distracted you from this holy path. It has until now been a rather zigzagging progression, but with the zigzags always reducing the extent of these deviations has been curtailed and the way forwards from here has become almost completely free of them.
Those bends and diversions on the path that humanity is treading have, in the past, made it very difficult for you to understand where it was that you were aiming for. There was a vague sense of a higher, divine destination but you always seemed to end up fighting with each other about what that really meant, whose god was the True God, and this led to much confusion and suffering for all.
Now the smoke and confusion is clearing as you choose to replace those old damaging attitudes and behaviors with loving intent. The difference that this change in attitudes and behaviors is having planet-wide is truly astronomical, and, of course, as Love is always expansive the effect of these essential changes strengthens and intensifies in every moment, dissolving the barriers that eons of distrust had erected between you on so many levels.
As the barriers disappear your ability to interact lovingly with everyone with whom you come in contact, regardless of their ethnic, social, religious, cultural, or political persuasion, becomes ever more apparent. These changes, that are an essential part of your awakening process, are occurring with ever-increasing rapidity, and you can easily observe their effects all over the world.
Yes, there are areas on the planet where intense disagreement and confrontation are still occurring, but the divine Love field enveloping the planet is positively influencing those involved so that even there, discussions will take place leading to a laying-down of arms and a recognition of the genuine needs of all parties prior to negotiations taking place to achieve lasting peace. This is a time of enormous and necessary spiritual development for all of humanity – a time that has long been forecast by the wise elders of many of the indigenous peoples all across the world, and now those forecasts or prophecies are being fulfilled.
Every one of you on Earth at this time has agreed to be here at this point in humanity’s accelerating spiritual evolution, although vast numbers of you still remain unaware of this. Nevertheless, an amazing expansion of awareness is shortly to occur which will astound those who suddenly find themselves “remembering” that they chose to be here and help to bring about this major evolutionary leap in humanity’s consciousness. It will be like an awakening before the awakening, an exciting realization that “Yes, I do have a divine purpose here on earth. How wonderful! And, yes, so does everyone I know. WOW!”
This sudden and, for many, completely unexpected revelation that they are here with a divine purpose will stimulate enormous quantities of creative ventures that will bring about wonderful improvements in all areas of life – for everyone. There is no way that the old ways of control and repression can continue to hold sway. Their time is over, and you will see the organizations that they produced and supported collapsing as the wave of divine Love enveloping everyone continues to strengthen and intensify, ensuring that all become fully aware of the insanity of the behavior patterns and belief structures that until a short time ago were considered normal. Wonderful changes, benefiting all on Earth, are in the pipeline and will be delivered, precisely as divinely intended and scheduled.
With so very much love, Saul.

Everything can better
Let's bring heaven on earth
Everything should get better
Let's bring heaven on earth
Everything will get better
We're bringing heaven on earth
And no one has to put his life in danger anymore
one of the most precious treasures on earth

I want to get out of this shit here
but I don't know how
Out of this shitty place
but I don't know how
They lock me here in this district
because I shouldn't see the rest of the world
I will walk out of this prison
when I know where I should go

Everything can get better.
Let's bring heaven on earth.
Everything should get better.
Let's bring heaven on earth.
Everything will get better.
We're bringing heaven on earth.
And no one has to put his life in danger anymore,
one of the most precious treasures on earth.

Even if you're crying bitterly right now,
please don't give up.
Even if you're denying life right now,
please don't give up.
Even if you seem dead to yourself,
please don't give up.
Even if everything appears corrupt,
don't give up.

Everything can get better.
Let's bring heaven on earth.
Everything should get better.
Let's bring heaven on earth.
Everything will get better.
We're bringing heaven on earth.
And no one has to put his life in danger anymore,

I can see beyond the borders of here
And I know there's more for me
I'm not afraid to face what they fear
If it means I can be free
Discourage me if you think you can
But I won't stop till I'm out of here
Yeah,I just don't give a damn
Not afraid to face what they fear

Everything can get better.
Let's bring heaven on earth.
Everything should get better.
Let's bring heaven on earth.
Everything will get better.
We're bringing heaven on earth.
And no one has to put his life in danger anymore,

Everything should get better.
Let's bring heaven on earth.
Everything will get better.
Please don't give up.
We're bringing heaven on earth.
And no one has to put his life in danger anymore,
one of the most precious treasures on earth.

Please don't give up.
Please don't give up.

Do Not Focus on the Suffering and Misery Within the Illusion

2012-02-07T18:58:00.001+01:00

http://www.johnsmallman.wordpress.com

Humanity is well on the way to awakening, and evidence of this can be seen all across the world as concern for the down-trodden, the impoverished, and the planet herself intensifies. It truly is a marvelous time as kindness, compassion, and generosity start to blossom. The number of you giving your lives in service has expanded phenomenally in just the last ten years, and the effect that is having is apparent everywhere.

Many more of you are being called to service and are answering that call, as you begin to understand what a joyful calling it is. Greed and self-centeredness is declining, although that might not appear to be the case as much corruption, that was previously hidden, is being uncovered. Have faith in yourselves and in your guidance because God is with you in every moment providing loving support in abundance to assist you in responding to His call. He wants you to awaken, that is why He is calling you Home.

The Light that burns within each one of you is getting ever brighter and attracting your attention to the wonder of what you are, divine children of God, and you are starting to recognize one another and celebrating that recognition. It is becoming apparent to you that you are all dearly loved and that all the help you need to find your way Home is constantly available to you. To know this is inspiring for you and brings you peace, confidence, and satisfaction as you wend your way homewards.

Your homecoming is assured. You know that deep within yourselves, and that knowledge is seeping into your awareness as your divine inner Light burns ever more brightly as your moment of awakening approaches. You have struggled long and hard to get to this point, and nothing can stand in your way that will halt your progress, because the power of divine assistance is with you every step of the way.

If you could only realize how dearly loved you are, and how much you are honored for what you are doing, it would blow you away! Do not focus on the suffering and misery within the illusion, but focus instead on the knowledge that the illusion is to end and will be replaced by the exquisite delight of existence in the Light of God’s eternal day, where anything other than that is impossible.

This of course does not mean that you do not see the suffering that the illusion causes, because while you remain within it that would be impossible. Be aware of it, help to ease it where you can by compassion, kindness, and generosity, but focus joyfully on the knowledge that it is a nightmare whose end is approaching, and when that happens the misery and suffering that it contained will be gone, having truly never existed, because nothing that is not of God could ever exist. There will be no traumatic memories, only everlasting wonder in the perfection of God’s divine Reality.

With so very much love, Saul.

Jesus: And Then All Will Begin Awakening

John Smallman, February 5, 2012

http://www.johnsmallman2.wordpress.com

Here in the spiritual realms we are very busy making the final preparations to greet you as you awaken with ecstatic amazement and realize that at last you are Home.

You have been on a very long and tiring journey, and at times it seemed to you that you had entirely lost your way. You had not, and could not, because you are never left alone, abandoned, and without the necessary guidance to help you return to your homeward path.

Nevertheless, it did seem that you had, and this caused you much fear and anxiety. When you engage in fear and anxiety it is extremely difficult for you to listen to and hear the guidance that is forever with you.

Your fears and anxieties are now dissolving as you turn to loving behaviors and attitudes to address the issues and problems that your earthly environment seems to present to you in abundance.

Love and fear cannot coexist: the latter attempts to block your awareness of the former and encourages you to behave defensively to combat the attacks that it would have you believe are likely to occur at any moment. But finally you have seen through this charade and are discovering the power of love as you engage with it and let go of the fear that has bound you to the illusion.

As you continue to untie the bonds with which you attached yourselves to the illusion, by embracing love and letting go of fear, you will find yourselves feeling ever more upbeat and optimistic about life and all that it offers you.

This is because as you loosen those bonds, you are finding yourselves far freer to engage lovingly and trustingly with others who respond in like fashion, sharing and extending the divine energy with which you have all been imbued since the moment of your creation.

Until very recently you either held this energy very close to yourselves, sharing it sparingly with only a few friends or family, or were even unaware that you possessed it, whereas now you are indeed opening up to start extending and sharing it indiscriminately with everyone, as does your heavenly Father.

The overall effect of this enormous increase in loving behavior all across the world is to accelerate the rate at which people everywhere are moving towards wakefulness. And of course this energy, which you are now so willingly extending and sharing, strengthens and intensifies as you use it, and discovers and uncovers itself in the most seemingly unexpected places.

Soon there will be nowhere on the planet where its effects remain unfelt – and then all will begin awakening. Many of you are definitely feeling the effects of these great changes as you go about your daily lives, and more and more frequently experience kindness and thoughtfulness offered to you by others, often in situations where previously you would have expected irritation, impatience, or even confrontation.

All the loving thoughts, words, and deeds that you offer one another meld together to form a great wave of Love that combines with the One with which God has surrounded the planet, uplifting those who remain confused and fearful and encouraging them to reach out for support and find it.

There is no one on Earth today who is not feeling the energy changes that your loving attitudes are bringing about as they replace the ones of mistrust and fear that have been prevalent for so long. What you are each achieving individually is truly amazing, and because all your efforts are then joined together the effects of that great wave of Love are irresistible. It will continue to grow, enveloping all in Its warm embrace until no one remains who feels alone, unacceptable, or unworthy of your Father’s eternal Love for you.

The only path now open is the one forwards, and as you all follow it the illusion will dissolve and disintegrate behind you. There truly is no going back because there is nowhere to which anyone could or would want to return.

As the moment of your awakening approaches, continue to engage with and embrace the divine Love field encircling Planet Earth, and intend to make It permanently part of yourselves and share It with all with whom you interact in any way at all.

By so doing you strengthen the awakening process which you are undergoing and remind yourselves that in truth you are already one with the divine Love field, and always have been – you just forgot that temporarily. Be ready for divine wonders to reveal themselves to you!

Your loving brother, Jesus.

El Despertar del Cristo

2012-01-30T21:30:00.000+01:00

Bienamados:
Durante años hemos hablado de muchos conceptos, miguitas de pan que te han conducido al lugar donde te encuentras ahora para que puedas entender Quién eres y Qué eres. Hemos dado pistas a lo largo de todo este cambio, ideas con las que jugar, conceptos que han expandido tu mente y tu entendimiento, preguntas que te han permitido pensar tanto y de forma tan dura que, al final, te has cansado de pensar y has permitido que tu corazón sea quién te guíe a conocer la paz y la alegría del Cristo.
Cada vez que eliges reconocer el poder del Cristo en ti, cambias el nivel de vibración de la consciencia colectiva ayudándola a que ascienda, y verdaderamente va a llegar un momento en que la consciencia colectiva va a despertar y va a sentir una ascensión. Algunas veces, los cuerpos lo sentirán también, y notarán una ascensión física, pero éste no es el verdadero objetivo, esto puede suceder porque vais a llegar a la experiencia del “ajá” donde todo se disuelve en la luz y no necesitareis más el cuerpo, os sentiréis muy ligeros, de una ligereza tal que vais a ascender. Pero ése no es, como os he dicho, el objetivo.
El objetivo es despertar al lugar donde experimentas un instante divino y verdaderamente conoces el significado del “Yo Soy el que Soy, el que siempre he sido. Yo Soy el Cristo, y celebro el Cristo en mi – y, como no hay separación – el Cristo de todos con los que me encuentro.”
Todo aquel con el que te encuentras ha sido invitado por ti a tu consciencia, todo aquél con quien tú te encuentras está hecho de la misma energía y del mismo tejido del que tú estás hecho. Cada uno de ellos es el Cristo, ya sea que lo sepan o no; y tú, a medida que los días vayan pasando, vas a ir reconociendo más al Cristo viviente que está interactuando contigo, hasta llegar al punto en el que le vas a sonreír y a dar la bienvenida.
Hemos hablado ya antes acerca de los cambios que están ocurriendo y los que se anticipan para este año, y habrá cambios, ya están sucediendo. Hemos hablado de que va a haber un momento donde todo aquello que no sea de la Luz va a mostrarse para que así la Luz pueda ser invitada a brillar sobre todo lo que antes se había mantenido oculto en la oscuridad. Estás en un lugar donde vas a sentir los cambios, y alguno de los cambios lo vas a sentir como buenos y los vas a entender; otros cambios van a requerir que tomes una respiración profunda y que te mantengas en una actitud neutral desde tu Observador durante un momento que, puede durar más o menos tiempo hasta que veas cómo te pueden conducir los cambios a la unión de todas las mentes en Una donde la expiación ha sido completada. Pero algunas veces, vas a tener que tomar más de una respiración profunda, así que este año te aconsejaría que te rodees de gente afín, para que os podáis apoyar mutuamente a medida que vuestro sistema de creencias se transforma y os conduce al descubrimiento del Cristo.
Tan a menudo como te sea posible, pues, busca compartir momentos con gente de mentalidad semejante. Ahora bien, sé que vas a caminar entre hermanos y hermanas que no están acostumbrados a usar tu mismo lenguaje, o que no comparten tu mismo punto de vista, simplemente ámalos, pero tan a menudo como te sea posible, busca a aquéllos con los que verdaderamente compartes una misma forma de pensar para así poderos dar apoyo mutuo.
Eres muy fuerte, y no te va a hacer daño estar con otros que tengan diferentes puntos de vista, pero, vas a necesitar ir a un lugar donde te sientas seguro y libre, y puedas soltar parte de la armadura que has llevado puesta durante muchas vidas, y simplemente estar con amigos que te aman, te entienden y saben lo que verdaderamente está ocurriendo, no lo que aparenta estar ocurriendo, sino lo que verdaderamente está ocurriendo. Algunos de los cambios van a ser estupendos, van a ser todos para el mayor bien, aunque a veces no lo parezca, y si en esos momentos estás con amigos y podéis afirmar “esto también nos va a llevar al Cristo”, entonces cualquier cosa que esté ocurriendo lo vais a ver de otra manera, a veces de forma bastante literal.
No hay nada que temer, escucha esto bien, porque una vez que captes esta idea, la Verdad de tu ser de que no hay nada, verdaderamente nada que temer, el miedo pierde su poder. El miedo ha sido vuestro compañero por muchas vidas, y habéis aprendido como cubriros con una armadura, porque pensabais que había algo allí fuera que era más fuerte que vosotros.
Lo primero de todo, es que no hay nada “allí fuera”, está todo dentro de tu conciencia. Y además no hay nada que puedas atraer que pueda hacerte daño, porque tú eres quien lo está creando, y si tú lo estás creando – y yo te lo garantizo –, lo puedes deshacer tan pronto como dejes de darle alas al miedo y lo quites de la escena porque ya no lo quieres más. El miedo no es una verdad, o digamos que es verdad con “v” minúscula, pero no es Verdad con “V” mayúscula. El miedo es algo que has creado para experimentar la aventura, para sentir como se eleva la adrenalina, no hay nada fuera de ti y no hay nada de lo que necesites defenderte.
Uno de los grandes cambios que vienen este año, es éste de dejar partir el miedo. El miedo va a dejar de tener poder sobre ti, el miedo solamente tiene poder en la medida en que tú se lo des y pienses que puede ser verdad, pero no lo es.
La única Verdad de tu ser es que eres energía, la energía a la que yo llamo Amor, yo he igualado la energía al amor porque cuando tú estás en el amor te sientes expansivo, y cuando sientes amor por alguien, te olvidas del pequeño yo y estás únicamente interesado en el otro. Por un momento, más o menos largo, te das cuenta de que te has olvidado de ti mismo y de la armadura que pensabas que era necesaria; y te sientes a ti mismo como uno con la persona que tienes ante ti, y en ese momento conoces solamente el Amor.
El Amor es expansivo, el Amor es energía y tú eres energía. Tú has sido siempre energía, y siempre has tenido el poder de elegir cómo usar esa energía, qué forma darle; y luego, al haber creado con tu propia energía, te has encontrado a ti mismo enamorado de tus creaciones hasta tal punto que sentiste que tenías que defender esas creaciones. Creíste que algo ahí fuera podía llegar y derribar tu “castillo de arena” o cualquier cosa que hubieras creado y, así empezaste a identificarte con tus creaciones y a olvidar que tú eras el que las habías creado en primer lugar.
A esto se le ha llamado la “pérdida de la gracia”, el olvido del “yo soy el ser divino quien creó esto en primer lugar”, esto ha sido también la caída dentro de la densidad, y ahora estás ascendiendo fuera de ella, porque ya has tenido suficiente. Tú no eres vulnerable. El Niño Sagrado nunca necesita defenderse, no es vulnerable, el Niño sagrado es energía.
Ahora estás despertando al Cristo interior, que es el lugar donde conoces tu propio poder, no como el mundo define lo que es el poder, no como se hace en la dualidad donde un día puedes tener poder y al otro perderlo.
El verdadero poder reside en tomar consciencia del Cristo dentro de ti, el cual nunca perdiste. Has experimentado muchas aventuras, pero nunca te has perdido, y además nunca has pecado. Has hecho elecciones y has vivido con sus resultados, después has vuelto para tomar otras elecciones, pero en Verdad, nunca has pecado. Habéis jugado, de la misma manera que veis a los niños pequeños jugar en la arena o con diferentes objetos. Ellos eligen, quizás deciden subirse a unas barras altas en los columpios y se caen, pero al momento se levantan, se sacuden el polvo y puede que, incluso, lloren porque quieren que alguien les reconozca lo que les ha pasado; y entonces ¿qué hacen?, pues vuelven de nuevo a intentarlo otra vez, esto es lo que ocurre bastante a menudo. Tú has hecho lo mismo durante muchas vidas, has participado en muchas aventuras.
No eres solamente el cuerpo, de hecho eres mucho más que el cuerpo, cuando ahora los científicos quieren medir el aura se dan cuenta de que vuestra presencia no termina en el límite de vuestra piel. La piel es uno de los órganos del cuerpo, el que lo envuelve, pero no eres sólo lo físico, el cuerpo no se activa a sí mismo, tú activas tu cuerpo y la Luz que eres se extiende mucho más allá del cuerpo.
En verdad, la energía divina que eres, el Cristo, se extiende mucho más allá de lo que puedas imaginar. Eres parte del cosmos mismo. El cosmos, las constelaciones, todo lo que vuestros científicos están llevando a tu conciencia existe sólo porque tú existes.
Simplemente te estoy dando algunas ideas para que entiendas que no hay nada que temer. Como dijo una persona sabia: “no hay nada que temer excepto el miedo mismo”, y una vez que llegues a darte cuenta de que no hay nada que temer – y realmente no lo hay –, entonces sentirás que eres libre. No tienes por qué preocuparte de que el cuerpo “no te vaya a funcionar como te gustaría”, o “temer que tus amigos, compañeros de trabajo o tu jefe te vayan a decepcionar, tampoco tus líderes ni el gobierno tienen ese poder, déjalos ir, déjalos que se entretengan jugando sus propios juegos. Confía en que tus propias creencias, tu mente sabe que todo está bien y que siempre vas a estar cuidado y protegido. No necesitas un puesto de trabajo, no necesitas a alguien que te dirija y te diga cómo puedes ganar dinero, si no tuvieras ese empleo, estarías sirviendo en otro lugar, porque de eso se trata la vida: de amar, servir, y recordar. Así que si no estuvieras donde estás, estarías en otro lugar sirviendo y amando, y habría un intercambio de energía porque es lo que tiene que haber, nunca hay un “vacío”, siempre hay un intercambio de energía.
Ahora bien, no te estoy diciendo que vayas mañana o pasado y le digas a tu jefe: “¡Oiga, señor! Ya no le necesito, Jesús me ha dicho que soy libre de tomar mis propias decisiones ¡así que me voy!”, esto no es lo que estoy diciendo para nada. Lo que digo es que aprecies de todo corazón el lugar donde estás y que entiendas y sepas que estás sirviendo, y sí, tiene que haber un intercambio de energía, la naturaleza, el verdadero ser que eres, no permite el vacío, tiene que haber un intercambio de energía, así que, a cualquier lugar que tú vayas, en cualquier lugar donde tú prestes tu servicio, va a haber un intercambio de energía. Puede tomar la forma de monedas, o cualquier otra apariencia, siempre habrá un intercambio.
Tu responsabilidad es darte cuenta de que existe un intercambio, y aunque no te llegue por medio de dinero, se producirá un intercambio. Nunca se da nada en el vacío. Comienza a darte cuenta de que los modos en que recibes tu retribución, el intercambio energético, pueden ser tan variados como la cantidad de granos de arena que hay en una playa. El pago puede llegar de miles de maneras distintas. Confía en que vendrá, nunca te vas a quedar sin nada. Puede ser que alguna vez parezca un poquito justo, pero nunca te quedarás sin nada, siempre vas a ser cuidado porque así lo decidiste.
Nunca te vas a perder, algunos temen dejar el cuerpo porque se preguntan: “¿Dónde voy a ir? ¿Tendré todavía consciencia? ¿Me perderé e iré a la deriva? ¿Me caeré en el vacío en algún lugar?”. No, siempre vas a tener consciencia, siempre vas a conocer tu Ser – a tu Ser más grande, con S mayúscula –, y de hecho, muchos de los que despiertan después de haber liberado el cuerpo se sienten muy felices porque son libres, sienten como se expanden.
La luz al final del túnel es tu propia luz, y eres tú mismo el que te expandes dentro de esa luz. No hay nada que temer, ahora bien, no te estoy transmitiendo este mensaje porque vayas a dejar el cuerpo pronto, en realidad, no lo vas a hacer porque hay mucho trabajo todavía que realizar. La cosecha es grande, y hacen falta muchos labradores.
No vas a dejar el cuerpo mientras que quede trabajo por hacer. Pero cuando llegues al punto en el que sepas que has completado tu función en esta encarnación, recuerda que no hay nada que temer. Habrá sólo alegría, Luz, expansión – pero no ahora – porque te necesito para que me ayudes en mi labor, tú eres mis manos, mis pies, mi sonrisa, mis palabras de confort para aquellos que no pueden verme, que quizás no tengan todavía el sistema de creencias que les podría permitir acceder al conocimiento de que ellos no están solos.
Algunos de ellos me llaman a mí o a mi madre María y quieren sentir el confort, piden consuelo, pero cuando contestamos – y nosotros siempre estamos ahí, con todos y cada uno de vosotros – ellos no nos pueden oír, porque les enseñaron, hace mucho tiempo, que ellos no eran dignos por sí mismos de conocer la Unidad, de que sus oraciones fueran a ser contestadas a no ser que pagaran para ello a los curas, a los rabinos, hicieran sacrificios en el templo. Esta es la enseñanza que se os ha dado durante muchas vidas.
Así que cuando nosotros contestamos, ellos piensan que no puede ser cierto, me siguen viendo en la cruz. Pero yo ya no estoy en la cruz, estuve allí sólo durante unas pocas horas, esas fueron suficientes. Luego bajé de allí, resucité el cuerpo, porque sabía que era energía, volví a caminar entre vosotros de nuevo para demostrar que sois la vida misma, que la vida no puede ser extinguida. Yo no pude ser extinguido. La vida puede cambiar de forma, pero la vida no puede ser extinguida, así que no hay nada que temer, sólo hay alegría.
Tú eres la Vida, siempre lo has sido, siempre lo serás en una forma o en otra, siempre has estado sirviendo a la Luz, porque tú eres la Luz, y tú reconoces lo que tú eres. A la vez reconoces a los hermanos que están empezando a despertar a la Luz que son y te unes para celebrar la Luz con ellos. Por eso te digo que salgas y busques a personas de mente afín y estés con ellos tanto como te sea posible, porque el sentimiento de Luz compartida y la consciencia de la divinidad se expande y se refuerza a medida que reafirmas la Verdad de tu Ser.
Si te rodeas a ti mismo – y voy a utilizar las palabras que usáis aquí – con personas “negativas”, sabes cómo se siente eso, se siente pesado, te contrae, esa clase de energía todavía tiene que despertar a Todo lo que es.
Así que en la medida en que te sea posible, busca a aquellas personas que están listas para disfrutar de la vida, conocer la inocencia, a las que están dispuestas a jugar, reír, cantar y celebrar verdaderamente el nacimiento de Cristo. Es el Cristo naciente quien está leyendo estas palabras. Tú ordenaste que en algún punto, en este tiempo lineal, te reconocerías en el Cristo que eres, y este es el momento. Así sea.

http://johnsmallman.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/take-confidence-in-the-glorious-outcome-that-awaits-you/

From the spiritual realms we are pouring down an abundance of love and assistance as the moment for humanity’s awakening draws ever closer.

Put yourselves into a relaxed or meditative state, open up your hearts in acceptance of it, experience the increasing sense of peace it brings you, and take confidence in the glorious outcome that awaits you. It is, without doubt, the most wonderful event ever to occur in your long and arduous progression through the illusion, because it is bringing you out of it!

It seems to you that this moment has been an extremely long time in coming, but in truth you have only been asleep momentarily, as you will fully understand when you awaken into the glory of Reality, where all are one with our gracious and beneficent Creator.

Intense and everlasting joy is to embrace you and raise you into the natural and magnificent state that is your right, your heritage, and your destiny – perfectly harmonious and eternally creative Union with God. There is nowhere else but this; it is where you belong; it is Home.

Knowing the wonder of this divine Truth – as you do deep within yourselves, at the very center where all are One – allow it to percolate upwards into your conscious awareness where its divine energy will uplift and inspire you, giving you the strength to resist and disregard any attempts to undermine your confidence in God’s Will for your awakening.

There are still too many who are, for the present at least, firmly convinced that a harsh and judgmental deity is soon to bring cataclysmic destruction to planet Earth to punish the wicked and raise just a few “holy ones” to safety in heaven. And there are a few others urgently trying to convince them that this scenario is divinely willed and that all should be working to appease this being.

Focusing on possible disasters is an endemic problem for mankind, and only adds to the unnecessary and confusing misinformation being released and promulgated by a few whose sole aim is to disturb and upset you as you enter the last moments before your awakening. They are indeed very misguided, so send them love because you know that that is what they are truly calling for.

Remember, all are God’s beloved children, however unloving their behavior and however unlikely that prospect seems to you. All will return Home. When you send love to the seemingly unlovable you are also sending it to yourselves and thereby strengthening your own intent to awaken. Love is the only answer, and it is so in every situation. It dissolves all problems and issues, perfectly.

During the time remaining before you awaken, make it your conscious intent to spread love, compassion, acceptance, and forgiveness worldwide. You are all divine conduits through which your Father will direct His Love for the benefit of all on the planet if you will invite Him to do so. And reconfirm that intent every time you think of it – you cannot overdo it.

Doing so moves you more firmly into that space within, where you can hear the Voice for God calling to you and reminding you of His eternal Love for you. There is nothing that you can do to change that; His Love for you is never withheld, and you should never believe anyone who would try to persuade you otherwise. All that you have to do is to open your hearts to receive and accept It.

You are all beings created in Love, from Love, who have temporarily become lost in a frightening, illusory environment where it seems that your very survival is almost constantly threatened. As you have been told many, many times, it is illusory, you are to awaken, and there is nothing to fear. So for the time that remains before you awaken, be happy, be upbeat, be inspiring, and encourage all forwards on the path Home.

With so very much love, Saul.

You all need to make a point of asking each day for assistance

You all need to make a point of asking each day for assistance

by John Smallman

As humanity continues to make increasingly rapid progress on its path of spiritual evolution, you all need to make a point of asking regularly each day for assistance from your friends and loved ones in the spiritual realms; that’s who all of us here are – your friends and loved ones – and our joyful task, which we approach with enormous enthusiasm, is to assist you in any way we can. We are always available 24/7, but you have to ask.

The illusion is a very strange and unreal environment, and as a result decisions that you make and intentions that you hold need constant reinforcement. You have to make them at least daily, and hourly if you can, because your egos are always looking for an opportunity to set up an attack or a defense, and the behavior of another, while totally inoffensive in intent or in delivery, can and often will be deliberately misinterpreted to permit your ego to make a condemnatory judgment of it and goad you into responding inappropriately. Doubtless you have all had occasion to misjudge someone, and, later, when you recalled the incident, you wondered why you had reacted so strongly to something so insignificant.

Behaving with loving kindness, acceptance, and forgiveness are the strongest and most effective ways in which you can move along your evolutionary paths, and of course to do so is your constant intent that you hold at the center of Yourself. However, at the level of your awareness available to you in the illusion, that deep center is extremely difficult for you to access, and you need all the spiritual assistance you can get. And that is why we are available 24/7.

Until the period that your history defines as the Enlightenment, the vast majority of humans were in awe of the authority exercised by the church and its minions, and by royalty and the elite with which it surrounded itself. Very few ever asked for help from us in the spiritual realms as they were far too busy desperately pleading to an imaginary god of immense power whom they believed commanded their obeisance, and who could, in an instant, condemn them to the everlasting fires of hell. Your egos loved this! They encouraged you to watch and judge others so that you could compare your good works or minor sins to the major omissions and monstrous sins that you observed others committing. That very perverse and divisive selection of attitudes and behaviors put beyond doubt or question your belief that you were all individuals valiantly and desperately fighting for the approval of a god who could and did intervene in your human affairs – battles won or lost, illnesses imposed or cured, good fortune given or taken away – rendering you helpless victims of a demanding and merciless tyrant. It was effective and it demonstrated convincingly for you your separateness from God, and your worthlessness in His eyes.

The Enlightenment was a great leap forward for humanity, and it was strongly resisted and condemned by those who exercised authority in any form, because people suddenly began to question everything. Nevertheless, it was unstoppable, and, over time, led to all the freedoms that those who live in so-called democracies now take for granted. But, as is apparent to all, you still have a long way to go before basic human rights and freedoms for all are guaranteed and protected worldwide.

The spiritual evolution in progress throughout the world at this moment in her history is accelerating rapidly. Although there are still many who believe in a harsh and judgmental god, and who take it upon themselves to try and enforce his will on others according to the way they arrogantly and mercilessly interpret it, they are in retreat. God’s Love field envelops the Earth and, along with the love that an increasingly large number of humans are offering and sharing with one another as they meld and blend with that divine field, its effect is to stabilize, strengthen, and intensify this evolutionary progress. Each day further evidence of your evolutionary progress comes into view.

As I said, we in the spiritual realms are here to help you 24/7, so call on us, open your hearts to receive the abundance of Love that surrounds you, and allow the guidance that we offer to flow easily into your conscious awareness. Settling yourselves comfortably and quietly into an easy chair where your peace will not be disturbed while you call on us is recommended. Know that your request will be heard and answered instantly. The form in which you receive the answer will vary, depending on the circumstances, so be open to any gentle nudges with which your intuition presents you, and be prepared to be pleasantly surprised. We love you and want only to help you resolve the issues and problems with which you are assailed, and which frequently make it difficult for you to believe that behaving with loving kindness is always the most effective way to deal with any issues or problems that disturb you.

Your loving brother, Jesus.

“I Feel Overwhelmed” By Dr. Margaret Paul

2012-01-24T21:48:00.000+01:00

I often hear from my clients that they feel overwhelmed. Generally, feeling overwhelmed means one of three things:

Overwhelmed by their feelings
Overwhelmed by time pressures
Overwhelmed by how to do things ‘right’

The feeling of overwhelm is generally caused by how we are treating ourselves and what we are telling ourselves.

Peter

In my Skype session with Peter, he told me at the beginning of the session that he felt overwhelmed.

“Peter, please breathe into your feeling of overwhelm and get present with it…….do you want responsibility for being the one causing this feeling?”

“Yes, but I don’t think I’m the cause. I think it’s because I have so much to do and I don’t have the time to get everything done.”

“Is this what you are telling yourself, which is causing you to feel overwhelmed?”

“Yes, but it’s true.”

“Peter, lets go a little deeper with what you are telling yourself. What are you telling yourself will happen if you don’t get everything done?”

“People will be upset with me.”

“And what does it mean if they are upset with you?”

“It means that I’m not good enough.”

“How do you think your children would feel if you said to them, “You have all this to do and not enough time to do it, and if you don’t get it done people will be upset with you, and their upset means that you are not good enough, so get to work.”

“I would never say that to my children.”

“But this is what you are telling yourself – the little boy within who is your feeling self. So of course he feels overwhelmed, just as your children would feel if you said this to them. Peter, please open to your higher self and ask what the truth is.”

“……………My higher self is saying that I always manage to get things done and that putting pressure on myself just makes it harder. And he says that I am a loving soul – and that is the basis of my worth, not whether I get things done or whether or not people are upset with me.”

“So, while it may be true that you have a lot to get done, everything else you have been telling yourself is not true – and this is what is causing your overwhelm. Ask you higher self what else you can say to yourself that will release the overwhelm.”

“My little boy inside needs to know that I will love him even if we don’t get everything done. I’m telling him that right now, and he feels so much better!”

Janna

Janna was feeling overwhelmed by her feelings of loneliness and heartbreak after her boyfriend broke up with her; she had been over-eating and eating junk to numb the feelings.

“Janna, breathe into these feelings and see if you can get totally present with them……now focus in your heart and invite into your heart compassion for these feelings – kindness, gentleness, caring. Imagine that you are sitting with your hurting child within, embracing her with deep compassion. Just keep being fully present with these very painful feelings with compassion, until you feel ready to release them to Spirit.”

It only took about five minutes before Janna felt ready to let the feelings move through her. Each time the painful feelings came up, Janna embraced them with compassion and allowed them to move through her rather than getting stuck in her. Her desire to over-eat vanished, as she no longer felt overwhelmed.

I hope the next time you feel overwhelmed, you fully embrace this feeling with compassion, so that you can either learn about what the overwhelm might be telling you, or you can manage the underlying painful feelings with deep kindness toward yourself.

Éblouie Par La Nuit

Éblouie par la nuit à coups de lumières mortelles.
À frôler les bagnoles, les yeux comme des têtes d'épingles.
J't'ai attendu cent ans dans les rues en noir et blanc
Tu es venu en sifflant

Éblouie par la nuit à coups de lumières mortelles.
À shooter les canettes, aussi paumée qu'un navire.
Si j'en ai perdu la tête, j't'ai aimé et même pire
Tu es venu en sifflant

Éblouie par la nuit à coups de lumières mortelles.
Vas-tu l'aimer la vie ou la regarder juste passer?
De nos nuits de fumettes, il ne reste presque rien
Que tes cendres au matin

À ce métro rempli de vertiges de la vie
À la prochaine station, petit européen
Mets ta main, descend-la au-dessous de mon cœur

Éblouie par la nuit à coups de lumières mortelles.
Un dernier tour de piste avec la main au bout.
J't'ai attendu cent ans dans les rues en noir et blanc
Tu es venu en sifflant

When judgment is set aside, appropriate responses can be determined

2012-01-22T11:12:00.000+01:00

When judgment is set aside, appropriate responses can be determined

by John Smallman

As you watch the dramatic evolutionary changes in people’s behavior occurring all over the world, you cannot be unaware of the effects that those changes are causing. For some decades now, many of you have been seeking peace, hoping for peace, praying for peace, and because of that, your own attitudes and behaviors have become far more peaceful. This has made space available for you to withdraw from spontaneous judgment in your dealings with others, and this encouraged them to do likewise. When judgment is set aside or avoided, actions and situations may be observed dispassionately, allowing an appropriate response to be determined which is suitable to the occasion or circumstances.

Many of the problems and issues that demand your attention and resolution have largely been caused by inappropriate and instinctive reactions due to misunderstanding of another’s intent, frequently involving different languages, dialects, and cultures. This has been aggravated by the accelerating pace of life over the last hundred years, which has resulted in an apparent shortage of time in which to fully assess the consequences of actions that seemingly need to be taken without delay. As increasing numbers of you learn to move into your place of inner peace, fewer of these aggressively spontaneous and unwise responses occur, leading to a big reduction in the number of confrontational situations that previously might well have caused conflict.

In spite of the fast and demanding pace of modern life, many are now learning to take time out, thus reducing their stress levels, and allowing them to discover that many of the “shoulds” that were driving them can be safely let go of without causing disaster. This of course places them more securely into their place of peace from which all their needs and issues can be dealt with far more easily, as the pressure under which they have been living eases considerably.

People operating from their place of inner peace – the center of themselves through which God’s Love flows abundantly – are peaceful, kind, and compassionate, and the influence that they have on others is enormously beneficial to all. They spread an energy that is calming, accepting, and welcoming to all around them that others find freeing and uplifting, and which contributes to a general sense of well-being.

All of you bearers of the Light – anyone who reads or hears of this here, or elsewhere, and resonates with it – are sharing and extending this energy to all with whom you interact, even if you are unaware of it. And this is why you are here at this point in humanity’s evolution. Humanity is evolving spiritually, as divinely planned, very rapidly indeed now in preparation for its awakening, and what you are doing to enable and assist this process would amaze you if you could see it. Every one of you has an essential role to play in bringing this stage of the divine plan to fruition, and each one of you is doing it magnificently. Without you it could not be done!

Nevertheless, because it is God’s Will, it cannot in any way fail to be brought to an utterly successful conclusion, which is why the essential tasks that you have undertaken cannot defeat you. You will complete them perfectly, regardless of any doubts or anxieties you may have about your abilities to do so, because you are divinely supported in every moment.

Move forwards along your paths with total confidence in the knowledge that you will be shown in each moment exactly what is required of you, and that all the assistance you need to enable you to take the next step will be provided precisely when you need it. You are all divinely loved, honored, and cherished for who you are – God’s beloved children – and for the tasks that you have undertaken with such dedication and enthusiasm. You are on your way Home to receive your honors, and to revel in the ensuing celebrations.

Your loving brother, Jesus.

Larra: un indignado del siglo XIX

	Larra: un indignado del siglo XIX

	Yo vengo a ser lo que se llama en el mundo un buen hombre, un infeliz, un pobrecillo, como ya se echará de ver en mis escritos; no tengo más defecto, o llámese sobre si se quiere que hablar mucho, las más veces sin que nadie me pregunte mi opinión; váyase porque otros tienen el no hablar nada, aunque se les pregunte la suya. el público


	Con ese titular tan actual cerraba la ruta dedicada a don Mariano José de Larra, don Jesús Miranda de Larra, familiar directo del escritor que se suicidó a la edad de 27 años en una calle estrecha del centro de Madrid. Don Jesús nos habló de Mariano José como se habla de ese pariente conocido desde la niñez por los relatos que de él han hecho los abuelos o los tíos, con cariño y clarividencia, resaltando los rasgos más importantes de su carácter y de su biografía que le acercan a lo más actual de la situación política en nuestro país: la indignación. Larra era un indignado, avant la lettre, al que despedimos, en compañía de la familia, en la Escuelas Pías de la UNED ubicadas en el corazón del Madrid más castizo, y que contempla la evolución de esta Universidad casi, casi cuarentona. Fígaro, uno de los más conocidos alias del escritor había nacido no muy lejos de allí en la calle de Segovia casi esquina con la pequeña Pretil de los Consejos. Y allí empezó esta nueva aventura literaria que la UNED puso en marcha hace ya más de cuatro años y que en esta ocasión nos reunió en Madrid, y en una ruta de un solo día, para seguir los pasos de nuestro escritor romántico por antonomasia, y romántico en su sentido real, no el que el imaginario hollywoodense nos ha hecho concebir, un escritor lleno de dudas y contradicciones pero a la vez tristemente lúcido y apasionado. Larra, patriota y afrancesado ¿contradictorio? Puede que no. Tal vez solo un español que razonaba como contestó el poeta republicano Gil-Albert cuando le acusaron de afrancesado algunos años más tarde. Hacía frío esa mañana del último sábado de noviembre debajo del viaducto madrileño, el lugar no era acogedor, la calle de Segovia se ha convertido en una pequeña autopista con demasiados coches y estrechas aceras que no admiten los grupos muy numerosos. Nos frotábamos las manos y dábamos besos a los ya muy queridos amigos de otras rutas y saludábamos a los nuevos amigos que empezaban con esta ruta su andadura literario-peripatética. Cuarenta personas nos reunimos allí, frente a la placa que da cuenta de que en ese lugar, en la antigua residencia de empleados de la Real Casa de Moneda, nació nuestro autor un 24 de marzo de 1809. El número 24 me es fatal: si tuviera que probarlo diría que en día 24 nací. Doce veces al año amanece, sin embargo, día 24; soy supersticioso, porque el corazón del hombre necesita creer algo, y cree mentiras cuando no encuentra verdades que creer; sin duda, por esa razón, creen los amantes, los casados y los pueblos a sus ídolos, a sus consortes y a sus gobiernos; y una de mis supersticiones consiste en creer que no puede haber para mí un día 24 bueno.


	Pilar Espín Templado, profesora titular de literatura española en la UNED y experta en la época y en el escritor, que nos acompañaría e ilustraría durante todo el recorrido, nos empezó a situar ante ese personaje que queríamos descubrir y si fuera posible, comprender, en el espacio de unas intensas horas. Su nacimiento en esa casa de los abuelos paternos en plena Guerra de la Independencia y sus primeros y, parce ser, únicos años de verdadera felicidad porque después fue “un niño sin niñez” comenta la profesora refiriéndose al niño que aprendió a leer con dos años y que a los 14 ya traducía del francés La Ilíada. El niño que es separado, por la peleas políticas de padre y abuelo, de ese primer y seguramente único hogar y comienza su periplo por ciudades e internados. El instituto San Isidro, allí cerca y al que llegamos paseando por esas calles madrileñas que ya se empezaban a llenar de gente y las que los primeros rayos de sol querían desentumecer, en los que Larra cursó estudios de física y griego que posteriormente también fueron de matemáticas y estudios literarios, ya vamos entreviendo al escritor que quiere aunarlo todo, sin falsas barreras , el crítico de los esnob que solo aprecian lo extranjero, por serlo, y también con los que solo admiten lo castizo como el paradigma de la propio, contra ambos escribe la pluma cada vez más afilada de Larra. ¿Por qué extraña fatalidad ha de anhelar el hombre siempre lo que no tiene?(…) Yo, Fígaro, soy de ello una viva prueba: no bien me había tentado el enemigo malo, y sentí los primeros pujos de escritor público, cuando dieron en írseme los ojos tras cada periódico que veía, y era mi pío por mañana y noche: —¿Cuándo seré redactor de periódico? Y empezamos a saber de su periodismo moderno, de su relación con Mesonero Romanos, su defensa de la inteligencia frente a los valores aristocráticos, su postura ilustrada a favor de la educación del pueblo pero, eso sí, vistos con cierta distancia porque se muestra sorprendido por sus modales, su falta de higiene... Gran persona debió de ser el primero que llamó pecado mortal a la pereza; En la iglesia de San Sebastián de la calle Atocha, a la que llegamos ya con las necesidades elementales de los cuerpos en estado de verdadera alerta por el frío pasado y por la premura del café, al que estas rutas nuestras nunca le dan la importancia que tiene, tres enormes placas daban cuenta de la cantidad de ilustres que por sus piedras han pasado, vivos o muertos, para ceremonias varias, bautismos, bodas y entierros, allí figura nuestro escritor junto al nombre de Pepita Wetoret la mujer con la que se casó a los 20 años (un año después conocería a su amante, la bella Dolores Armijo y dicen la excusa última de su suicidio) y que le sirvió de base para uno de sus más conocidos artículos “Casarse mal y pronto” que define bien lo que fue su experiencia matrimonial, no así la sentimental. Por su desgracia acertó a gustar a una joven, personita muy bien educada también, la cual es verdad que no sabía gobernar una casa, pero se embaulaba en el cuerpo en sus ratos perdidos, que eran para ella todos los días, una novela sentimental, con la más desatinada afición que en el mundo jamás se ha visto; tocaba su poco de piano y cantaba su poco de aria de vez en cuando, porque tenía una bonita voz de contralto.


	Café y baño o… cuña clamaba Carlos, un asiduo rutero, ante las contingencias físicas que ya se hacían imposibles de ocultar, hecha la preceptiva votación a mano alzada la mayoría aplaude la propuesta y muy cerquita del Ateneo paramos a recuperar fuerzas y empezar a conocernos porque la calle no era muy propicia a las confidencias. Compañeras habían llegado desde San Sebastián, Barcelona o Guadalajara. El Ateneo científico y literario es un lugar muy singular, en él se han reunido, desde su creación en 1835, algunas de las mejores inteligencias de este país, igual para desmentir esa vieja creencia patria sobre nuestra dificultad para el pensamiento, y entre ellos una sola fémina, Emilia Pardo Bazán, parece, por los cuadros que de los presidentes dan cuenta en los pasillos. Y singular, como el espacio, alguno de sus habitantes, nosotros encontramos el nuestro. Ya saben los que siguen estas crónicas que no hay viaje que carezca del suyo. En este caso se trataba de Eduardo el encargado de la cosa musical del Ateneo- Eduardo nos secuestró, literal, y nos contó la parte más iconoclasta de la historia de esa institución en la que él parece vivir, comenzó su exposición, como los grandes actores con una entrada potente: “la Guerra de la Independencia es una falacia histórica, es una construcción franquista hecha con elementos de película como Agustina de Aragón de Juan de Orduña. Las tropas que atravesaban nuestro país eran ejército español, el rey de España era francés porque los “otros” (léase Carlos IV y su hijo Fernando VII) habían abdicado en Bayona. Los que se levantaron contra los franceses fueron los caciques y la carcundia de este país…” Aquello sonaba muy bien pero, ya sabemos, las prisas nos impedían seguirle escuchando. Le llamaron al orden ya entrando en la sala de la Cacharrería, la de las tertulias y la magnífica biblioteca… El magnífico y rehabilitado salón de actos del Ateneo nos esperaba.


	¿Qué me importa a mí que Locke exprima su exquisito ingenio para defender que no hay ideas innatas, ni que sea la divisa de su escuela: Nihil est intellectu quod prius non fuerit in sensu? Nada. Locke pudiera muy bien ser un visionario, y en ese caso ni sería el primero ni el último. En efecto, no debía de andar Locke muy derecho: ¡figúrese el lector que siempre ha sido autor prohibido en nuestra patria!... Durante todas nuestras paradas Pilar Espín nos fue leyendo textos muy apropiados a cada una de las facetas del escritor pero en el Ateneo, en el salón de actos su voz se tornó mucho más modulada y declamó con ritmo profesional, “es que he estudiado algo de arte dramático” confesó, algunos de los artículos más literarios de Larra. Creo que le aplaudimos, o por lo menos pensamos en hacerlo, se lo había ganado.


	Las tertulias “de chorizos y polacos”, los teatros, callejón del Gato, el Parnasillo, Fígaro, o el Larra crítico teatral… Yo vengo a ser lo que se llama en el mundo un buen hombre, un infeliz, un pobrecillo, como ya se echará de ver en mis escritos; no tengo más defecto, o llámese sobre si se quiere que hablar mucho, las más veces sin que nadie me pregunte mi opinión; váyase porque otros tienen el no hablar nada, aunque se les pregunte la suya. el público. Hacia Santa Clara íbamos y ahora no para llevar huevos a ningún convento solo es el nombre de la calle en al que Larra se pegó ese tiro que todavía resuena en las letras españolas. Leemos a Mesonero Romanos dando cuenta de su incredulidad ante la muerte del amigo con el que había estado la mañana anterior y la lectura del texto de joven Zorrilla que le catapultó al parnaso. Y a Larra hacia la cercana iglesia de Santiago que tuvo que recibir al muerto por su propia mano, la primera vez que sucedía en nuestro católico país y todo para no soliviantar a las masas allí reunidas. Después del “responso” que celebramos en las escaleras de la iglesia, situada en la plaza del mismo nombre, y tras la foto del grupo tomada por nuestro excelente y rastafárico fotógrafo, seguimos buscando el solecillo que empezaba a calentar, hasta las puertas del hoy famoso y muy visitado mercado de San Miguel, el único mercado en hierro que ha llegado hasta nuestros día y cuya construcción finalizó en 1916. Hoy podría llegar a morir de éxito. Al Museo del Romanticismo llegamos tras la comida celebrada allí cerca, en el centro mismo de la ciudad, pegaditos a la Plaza Mayor y después de haber explicado a los compañeros de fuera las especificidades de las cuevas y trabucos que, por la escalera del arco de Cuchilleros, asomaban. Afortunadamente nuestra comida, tipo mesa de bbb (bautizos, bodas y banquetes) estaba en el interior de una restaurante sin demasiada parafernalia “madrileñista”.

	Ocho años cerrado estuvo el Museo del Romanticismo que hoy se levanta hermoso, tanto en su edificio, un palacio neoclásico de una calle tranquila de la ciudad, como en su interior, totalmente renovado y reescrito porque ahora el relato ha cambiado y no solo en su denominación, antes era el Museo romántico, sino en toda la concepción museística de sus fondos, su didáctica… Antes de acercarnos a Larra y sus salas una espera perfectamente aprovechada en la exposición temporal, a la entrada del Museo, enmarcada dentro de la celebración del Año de Rusia en España "El Romanticismo ruso en época de Pushkin" que muestra las raíces del romanticismo ruso desde una perspectiva histórica. No son los fondos del Hermitage en el Prado, ciertamente, pero esa única sala recoleta, en la que tienes que acercarte mucho a las pequeñas obras que la llenan, recoge muy bien el espíritu del romanticismo que Larra representa en alto grado, un movimiento político, también cultural, que miró al mundo de otro modo y creó una nueva concepción de él. Visita recomendada al pequeño jardín del Museo, cuatro bancos de madera alrededor de una fuente y mucho verde. Perfecto para descansar entre visitas a las habitaciones de la casa Museo. Las Escuelas Pías de Lavapiés, en las que la UNED de Madrid tiene su sede, son un ejemplo de rehabilitación e integración de un edificio en la vida de sus vecinos. Una entrada engañosa permite el acceso a un amplísimo vestíbulo que descubre una escalera volada que asciende hasta los tejados del castizo barrio. En su primer piso la joya, la biblioteca situada en la antigua iglesia acoge, junto a cientos de volúmenes, una lámpara redonda de dimensiones vaticanas, que permite el estudio o el pensamiento a los cada vez más numerosos alumnos de esta Universidad. Y allí, bajo la luz de esa enorme lámpara, Jesús Miranda puso punto y final al día dedicado a su famoso antepasado, recuperado no solo para la familia sino sobre todo para la historia literaria y cultural de este país porque Larra, “es un indignado del siglo XIX”. Todo un honor. Dos botones de muestra sobre la vigencia de Larra : - El Taller "Seis Lecturas sobre Larra" celebrado durante el pasado año a iniciativa del Museo del Romanticismo de Madrid y Hotel Kafka, cuya finalidad fue la de revisar la obra del escritor a través de diferentes ópticas: periodística, política, literaria, estilística, histórica y contemporánea. Seis lecturas que contaron con la presencia de los escritores Rafael Reig, Eloy Tizón, Javier Azpeitia y Juan Aparicio Belmonte; de la periodista Irene Lozano y el editor Manuel Fernández Cuesta. Larra leído hoy. -La exposición del artista vallisoletano Julio Falagán “Vuelva usted mañana” Una pieza artística sobre el absurdo burocrático, en la Casa Encendida de Madrid y mediante la que se invita a “experimentar el absurdo burocrático en propia piel a todos los visitantes que se animen a circular por los espacios: llamada en espera, sala de espera, espere su turno, o la cola, todos situados en las diferentes plantas del edificio. Al final y si se completa el circuito (visado con su correspondiente sello) se puede recoger el diploma que acredita la hazaña de haber sobrevivido a la telaraña burocrática. No puede leer el nombre de Mariano José por ningún sitio pero… a nadie se le escapa el origen de la pieza.

How you feel is a choice you make in every moment

2012-01-15T11:20:00.002+01:00

Humanity’s long sojourn in the illusion is coming to an end, as is the illusion itself. It has served its purpose which was to enable you to play with the concept of being separated from God (only in your imaginations!) and to experience the pain, the sense of abandonment, and the insanity in which that state seemed to embroil you. Your Father knew that you would tire of it, and He put in place the apparatus necessary to assist you in freeing yourselves from the severely limiting place that you built.
You are now in the process of freeing yourselves from what appears to be a very sticky environment from which long tentacles reach out to grab you and draw you back. These tentacles are the unloving thoughts and judgments of others whom you perceive as having mistreated or offended you. In fact, the tentacles really represent lifetimes of grudges and resentments to which you cling in the desperate hope that God will recognize how badly you have been treated and provide you with well-deserved recompense or restitution. If God was to attempt to do that, He would be engaging with the insane and the deluded, and that he cannot and would not do because it would be totally irrational. All in the illusion have offended or mistreated others at some time, so everyone owes! Fortunately, it is only an illusion.
The only way out of this endless loop of being offended and demanding restitution is to unconditionally and indiscriminately forgive everyone everywhere. Satisfaction is impossible, and negotiations held for this purpose are never successful because all the parties involved have to give up something for an agreement to be reached. Consequently, they will always feel either that they have received less than was their due, or that they have been forced to pay out more than could fairly be expected of them. As a result, grudges and resentments will always remain, and they will be constantly and painfully remembered.
Forgiveness – true and unconditional – dissolves all those painful memories and relieves the stress that they caused, uncovering the peace and contentment within you that those constantly playing, endless tape-loops were drowning out with their whining cacophony of dissatisfaction. When you truly forgive for the first time you will be amazed at the peace you feel and experience, and which replaces the self-righteous grudge to which it seemed that you were so firmly and inextricably attached.
If you feel hard done by, mistreated, or that life is unfair, it is difficult for you to forgive those whom you perceive as being the cause of your misery or unhappiness. The first step on the path out of this unsatisfactory situation is to be honest with yourselves and admit that no one else is responsible or to blame for how you feel. How you feel is a choice that you make in every moment, and it is directly influenced by where you place your attention.
No one experiencing life in the illusion is free of pain, anxiety, or fear, and if you focus your attention mainly on those issues, happiness and satisfaction will always elude you. Those who are for the most part happy and contented have learnt this lesson: life happens; it happens to everyone; accept it and the lessons that it offers. If you do as they have done, you will find peace – as you discover that you can cope with all that occurs.
Not to cope is a choice, and when made, it entails finding someone or something to blame, because when you make that choice it means you are refusing to take responsibility for yourself, your actions, and all the other choices that you make – because you do not believe you have a choice. This always leads to further suffering. Instead, when the situation in which you find yourselves is unacceptable, make the decision to change it. You can always make a change regardless of how intractable the situation seems to be – by changing your perception or viewpoint. Frequently, people find this difficult because of their deeply ingrained thinking-habits which are familiar and, to a certain extent, comfortable. Nevertheless, alternate options are always available – not necessarily in the physical situation as it stands, but by altering your perception you uncover options that you were maybe unaware of, and that may well make it possible to change the way the situation develops, thus altering the outcome from that which you had originally envisaged.
Be aware that you have made choices, and take responsibility for them because what happens is on your life path for a reason. It has been carefully planned to present you with the lessons that you chose to learn. If you do not take responsibility and deal with what occurs, it will be presented to you again and again (although the form may be different) until you do choose to deal with it.
Instead of apportioning blame and being miserable in a painful situation, ask for help and guidance. Never before has so much help and guidance been available on the planet. This is because the moment of your awakening is fast approaching, and much work needs to be done to release the issues that are seemingly anchoring you in the illusion. You all have everything you need to set yourselves free, and all the assistance and guidance necessary to enable you to do so. Your destiny is to be free, fearless, and happy. Allow yourselves to take the essential steps of letting go of grudges, of refusing to see yourselves in any way as victims, helpless or otherwise, so that you can enthusiastically claim that destiny.
God’s Will is for you to awaken, and your will is identical. But frequently you forget, as you get drawn into the game of “shame and blame,” which is one of the main underpinnings of the illusion. Move away from that game; forgive those whom you perceive as having hurt or caused suffering to you, to your loved ones, or to any others – because to do so will bring you peace and relieve your stress, even though that action may seem to you to be counter-intuitive. As your sense of peace increases – as it will when you follow this path – your doubts will fade, and the deep inner knowing you have that absolutely confirms your intention to awaken will come into your awareness. That knowledge will bring you comfort and contentment during these last stages of your journey Home.

A momentous event of unprecedented significance

« All your issues are coming up with an intensity that very few have experienced

A momentous event of unprecedented significance

01/11/2012 by John Smallman

Your expectations continue to rise as the moment for your awakening approaches, and this is good because interested and enthusiastic expectation of this magnificent event raises your spirits, encouraging you to maintain and further the loving attitudes that are so essential to bringing it to fruition. Focus on loving thoughts, words, and actions to align yourselves with the divine Will. This enables the conduits through which God’s Love flows ceaselessly to strengthen and expand, intensifying that energetic flow. Do not forget that every one of you is a divine conduit. Attitudes that are not utterly loving cause kinks and restrictions in the conduits, so continue to hold the intent to release them. Doing this also brings you to a more peaceful state within yourselves, reducing your stress levels and making it easier for you to become totally self-accepting. Acceptance of yourselves just as you are, without judgment or self-criticism, opens the way for you to accept others just as they are, and helps you to catch glimpses or inklings of the truth of the statement “All are one.” You will find these glimpses extremely uplifting.

It is the One that you all are that is to awaken, and that is why it is such a momentous event of unprecedented significance which will be met with the most fantastic celebrations. You are moving relentlessly forwards towards the completion of an extremely important stage in the divine plan for creation which will effectively raise the level of consciousness, the level of awareness of all sentient beings to undreamt-of heights, and there is not one among you who will not be stunned with amazement and joy when you come into the knowing, the realization of the wonder that has occurred.

You will not just be moving to a new level of existence where all fears, all doubts, and all anxieties have dissolved and all that you could possibly ever need or desire is abundantly and freely available, but to a level where peace, harmony, perfection and beauty of such an intense nature preside that not even a thought of a need or a desire could ever occur to you. You will be creating with your Father a state of endlessly uplifting wonder as you uncover within yourselves new skills, new talents, and new abilities to extend Reality continuously for your ever-increasing delight.

It is God’s Will and yours that you awaken to enjoy the infinite divine wonders with which your talents and abilities constantly present you. You were created solely for the joy, the happiness, the ecstasy, and the bliss that existence at One with God provides for you eternally. Your diversion into the dream of separation has demonstrated very convincingly for you the insanity of attempting to separate yourselves from God, and that dream, that nightmare of horror, suffering, privation, and, yes, at times, despair is to evaporate or fade away like a wraith that you were not even sure you saw. Not the slightest fragment of that horrendous illusion will ever again unsettle or disturb you once you awaken into the glorious wonder of your Father’s loving Presence. All are saved, all will awaken, because all are already at Home in God, and the impetus to become awake and experience that state is irresistible.

With so very much love, Saul.

Loving the child within

2012-01-10T11:53:00.001+01:00

Question: Holy Spirit, our true desire is clear and our challenges/fears are becoming more clearly seen. The temptation to pull apart is strong, because in each other we seem to face our greatest fears. Our experience now seems very, very tough. What would you share?

Answer: The more you do together, the better. You each need your own space, your own quiet time apart, but right now you also need more time together. See the time you spend together as foundation-building. Since your relationship is the foundation you have chosen to help yourselves awaken, foundation-building (or relationship building) is important. Be together in a variety of ways. Pray together, play together, read together, share in work together…

You don’t have to make yourselves be together more than you truly desire, but if you look within you will find that you desire to be together, sharing, more than you are because you both desire the strengthening of this foundation.

Question: What about…

Ahhhh! I’m having a tough time asking this next question. It is hard because there is so much judgment and fear in my mind. I am judging the question and I am judging me as the scribe. I have a huge fear that I am just writing what I want to hear. This fear is so big that it makes me want to throw down my pen and runaway and hide. I feel it in my chest.

Before I continue, what would you share about my fear?

Answer: A scribe creates her ability to scribe. This is a creation in that it takes the formless and brings it into form. (In this way, I do not use the word “creation” in the way that A Course in Miracles uses the word. I use “creation” in the way of an artist.)

An artist creates his painting or his sculpture or his magnificent musical piece of work, but any great artist will also tell you the work was born through him. He both created it and he didn’t. He created the piece of work by allowing it to be born through him in a specific form.

The scribe does this. She allows the birth of formless into form as a specific expression through being a scribe.

Because the scribe is a partner or co-creator in the birthing of what may be considered “holy words,” she can also feel guilt or fear about these words. She can fear that her ego sometimes does the writing. She can fear she is not open enough or hearing deep enough. She can even fear that she is making up the entire scribal experience and there is no co-creation with anything divine. The latter may be the greatest fear for many people who are scribe.

The best thing a scribe can do is allow the flow of words that comes through her. She can feel the flow as it comes through at a consistent rate without a break in the flow. Trust this flow that keeps flowing like a river running downhill. It is different than thought, which is rambling and seems to fire from all directions. It is a steady flow that seems to come from one consistent source. As long as the words are coming in this flow, write down the words that you hear.

Your next question frightens you because it is a question that addresses the greatest fear that you have. You are afraid that your fear will be a block to hearing Me or that it may be your ego that answers. You are also afraid, since you fear that scribing may be a human creation rather than a co-creation with the divine…you also fear that asking this question may be exposing yourself as a fake. You’ve had this fear for a long time, and it comes up around many questions. It is time to look at your greatest fear, because it is your greatest fear that hurts you the most.

I understand that facing your doubts is difficult for you, but that is only because you fear your doubts are real. In facing them, you will learn they are not real. In willingness and readiness, and out of a pure desire to take this step, ask the question you fear to ask now.

Question: Holy Spirit, the question is about Ho’oponopono. I seem to have three questions about it. 1) Isn’t it a practice of seeing a problem on the screen instead of accepting everything as perfect now? 2) Doesn’t it forget about the free will of the Son of God? That is, doesn’t it not allow upset and illness when upset and illness may be chosen? 3) If we are looking to the screen for a change in effects, aren’t we going to be disappointed and therefore lose ourself on the screen?

Answer: Eckhart Tolle also sees a problem on the screen. Jesus, as he seems to come to you in many forms, also sees a problem on the screen. All great healers see a problem on the screen and want to fix it, not because they believe it is real, but because they know you do. A great example is the example of a parent who is helping a child. The child may be afraid of monsters under the bed or in the closet. The parent knows there is nothing to fear. But the parent may still perform some magic; he may talk the monsters into leaving and then show the child they are gone. He does this to address the child in a way that will generate a moment of ‘no fear.’ He knows the child’s fears may return tomorrow night; he knows what the child feared is not real; and he knows a day will come when the child will outgrow his fears. Still, he does what he does now to bring peace to the child now in order to be truly helpful.

This is what a healer does. He reduces fear through the willingness that fear be lessened in order to provide rest and a greater opportunity for awakening. To ignore fears that seem very real is not helpful. That only generates more fear. To address those fears lovingly while also knowing they are not real is a loving and gentle way of helping the mind awaken. But in order to do this you must be able to see the fears. Seeing them and believing them is not the same thing. Fears can never be healed by believing they are real.

If you are looking to the screen for effects and you believe fear is real, you will experience great upsets when there does not seem to be a change in effect. When you look to the screen for a change in effects and you do not believe it is real, you will not experience the same upset. You will, however, continue to feel called to be helpful. As long as fear is pictured on the screen of the mind, those who understand that the mind is dreaming will do what they are called to do in order to help the mind awaken.

Question: And what about us, specifically Laurent and me?

Answer: You experience a lot of fears and you do not yet realize that your fears are not real. However, you are ready to grow from childhood into adulthood by letting go of imaginary fears. Again, this is why you have come together.

When you are ready to address your fears and let them go, it is no longer helpful to depend entirely on magic. Some magic may still be helpful for a time, but what is most useful is to learn that your fears are not real. Likewise, it is not helpful to hide from your fears by avoiding them.

Talk about your fears together without judging yourself for your fears. Be willing to see how you uphold your fears, and be willing to change habits in order to learn that your fears are not real. Also be patient with yourselves and one another. Treat yourselves like a loving parent treats a frightened child. Be gentle in addressing the fears, realizing that the child within still fears they are real.

Question: How are fears healed?

Answer: Through willingness to face them and see they are not real. At some point when the child is ready, he must look under his own bed in order to learn that there are no monsters living there.

Start Giving Yourself a Brighter Tomorrow By Guy Finley

2012-01-03T13:43:00.003+01:00

Key Lesson: Your best possible guarantee for a brighter tomorrow is found within the dedicated inner work you do today to welcome the Light of higher self-understanding.

Change is Now or Never

Victory over our own lower nature is now or never. We can't end conflict later. We can't stop being sad, cruel, angry, scared, or anxious later. Thinking, or hoping, that any destination we have in mind is going to be superior to where we're presently standing is exactly why we're still standing in that same place where we have to hope that some tomorrow will be better.

Later does not exist in reality.

Only to the lower nature does the concept of "later" have any merit. This self-created, false concept of time allows it to create yet another you in another time when, according to its prophecy, you'll be a wiser, stronger, and generally superior individual. But your higher nature knows for you to experience the miracle of real inner transformation, to step up to a superior life level, you must no longer think in terms of how you'll be "next time." It understands, as we must, that a change in nature is immediate; it is now, or it won't be at all.

And so it's imperative to meet each moment of your life with this realization: it's only what you do right now that is the seed of change. And in the endless beauty and mystery of what is the now, this same seed of change is also the seed of a New Self. Here's why this is true: If you choose to change right now, then you won't have to worry about how to be different next time!

In fact, choose to change now, and that moment will never come for you to worry about how to be better next time. Your conscious choice for real change in the present moment automatically cancels the need for a better you in a better future. All will be better for you now... which is the only time it really matters!

Make it your moment-to-moment practice to stay awake, and to watch for all the opportunities that your own now presents. Keep your efforts personal, practical, and to the point. If your inner work doesn't transform the whole of your life into a more relaxed, amazing, and uplifting experience, then you're dreaming, not changing.

Your awareness of the power of now can transform each challenging life moment into a new and true beginning for you. Learning how to use these moments leads to real inner change, which is the same as being in command of your own destiny.

New Beliefs for a New Year

2012-01-03T13:29:00.002+01:00

Sometimes people think that their beliefs are innate, inviolable, and cannot be changed without changing who they are. Yet consider how many belief changes you have already made since childhood. Do you still believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, or that stepping on a crack will break your mother's back? Religious and spiritual beliefs likewise change as we learn more about their origins, and as life changes our viewpoints.

The beginning of a New Year is often a time for reflecting upon the old and anticipating the new in our lives. I hope you will take a moment to reflect upon your spiritual beliefs and to consider whether you might be ready for some new ones. Here are a few to consider:

I believe Source created me as a special, much loved, integral part of itself.

I believe we are all equal in Source. No being, not human or spirit, is more important to Source than I am.

I believe love is my true innate spiritual nature.

I believe Source's love is constant, regardless of what I do. But I am responsible for my actions and I, and others, do suffer the physical and emotional consequences of my choices.

I believe I am a powerful spiritual being, not a human animal. I only inhabit this body. It is not ME.

I believe I do not have to be a slave to my human host's likes, dislikes, motivations and emotions. I can exercise my spiritual free will to tame and train my body to act less like an animal and more like me.

I believe acts of loving kindness can change the manifested physical world.

I believe my truths are inside me, not out there somewhere. I will know the truth, because it will resonate with me and fill me with love, not fear.

Have a wonderful New Year!

Thank you so much for being open to the messages I returned from the afterlife to share.

DNA Activation Banner Hilarion: Focus On Your Personal Ascension

2012-01-03T13:18:00.000+01:00

Hilarion via Marlene Sweltishoff

www.therainbowscribe.com

Beloved Ones,

Let the mantra for these times be the word “focus”. No matter what is occurring in the World around you, focus your Love on it, bless it and shower this Love whenever and wherever you may walk. Know that you are each representatives of the Divine and that your every thought, word, action and deed has become most important in the bringing in of the New Earth reality. There will be many in the days that lie ahead that will try to distract you from this focus and it falls upon you to remember your vision and your purpose for being here at this time.

Find a way to spend as much of your free time as possible in a quiet environment that will allow you to focus on your goals of personal and Planetary Ascension. This is the time to take action and the days of passively waiting for others to come to the rescue are now over and done with. YOU are the Creators, Beloved Ones. All that you have accomplished and overcome to get you to this point is now to be put into practical use in service for the highest good of All. It is crucial that your Light and your feelings of Love and compassion, daily reach out into the people and places around you.

Try to hold onto the feelings of joy and bliss that the New Year energies bring in. When you feel these powerfully uplifting moments, take note of these and learn to bring these feelings up within you at will throughout the rest of your year of incredible changes. Believe in the miraculous and watch the wondrous synchronicities begin to occur. Open your hearts to ever greater downloads of Light, Love, upgrades and attunements and always remember to ask and intend these, both morning and night.

It is time to bask in these uplifting and empowering feelings that the new energies are helping to invoke within you and as you do this, you invite more of these feelings to be divinely attracted to you. The Universe will ensure that you be on the receiving end of many blessings that are waiting to come forth and become an integral part of your life. As changes take place in every part of Human society, the blessings that come forth for you will multiply in their appearances in each of your lives. Enjoy each moment, live in the moment, focus, focus, focus! Let all that happens flow through you and around you while you stay in the fluidity of each moment.

Allow the Love that is within you to shine through you in all that you feel, say and do. Bless every happening that takes place in your lives and express your gratitude constantly for all that you are given. By choosing the state of Joy, you allow more grace to enter your Being and your daily lives. Capture this feeling of Joy and embellish it often by your expressions of it in all that you do. Feel joy, BE joy, radiate joy in total and sublime purity and innocence, believing in the magic that comes through because of it, for it is not naivety to cultivate this essence within you, it is a power that infuses everything in your life with blessings that multiply.

Set the tone for the rest of this year by the great power created by your determination and intention to BE your highest and greatest potential and watch it unfold for you in wondrous ways. Dare to dream BIG, dare to do all that you have longed to do and somehow never got around to do. Believe in your own value, uniqueness and worth and see yourself as a Master in all that you do. Write a new script for the great play that is your life and then LIVE it! If you can dream it, you can BE it! All is waiting to manifest and accommodate your deepest desires. Claim it each day and watch it unfold in magical ways.

Until next week….

I AM Hilarion

Why Shamanism Now - A Practical Path to Authenticity By Christina L. Pratt

Many events are set to unfold

2012-01-01T22:04:00.000+01:00

January 1, 2012 by John Smallman

2012 will be a year of changes and surprises, some unsettling, but many uplifting and inspiring. As the year progresses, many events are set to unfold which will demonstrate very clearly that a large number of people are successfully and effectively releasing themselves from the bondage of fear and from the unloving attitudes fear encourages. Humanity cannot and will not now slip back into the old ways that led to repression, conflict, and war. You are on a magnificent evolutionary path, motivated by love and compassion for all beings, and you will not be turned back or diverted from it.

Needless to say, there are still many who favor the old ways and hope to continue using them to prevent humanity from making changes that are essential for your spiritual evolution, but they will not succeed. Their power and influence are declining rapidly, much to their surprise and dismay. They are in a state of confusion, are unable, and will remain unable, to resolve their many points of disagreement, making it impossible for them to continue holding the reins of power with which they have controlled so many for so long. Their disarray will lead to their collapse, and people of honor and integrity will move into positions of leadership to contain and resolve the many damaging crises that have been causing so much suffering worldwide.

Attitudes are changing all over the world as realization dawns on more and more of you that the old ways of threat, bluff, confrontation, and dishonesty in attempting to repair and heal damaged relationships are totally ineffective. This has always been the case, but now people are finally saying “There must be a better way!”, and they are discovering that indeed there is – open honest discussion which includes full disclosure of the needs and desires of all parties with absolutely no hidden agendas. When discussions take place in this kind of atmosphere, with all working compassionately and empathetically together, there are truly no insoluble problems anywhere on the planet.

A time of great opportunity for all on earth to move into life-styles with which they resonate completely is approaching, because the loving attitudes that so many of you have now adopted make it inconceivable that anyone would be coerced into doing work which is unsuited to them. Additionally, abilities, skills, talents, and competencies will no longer be judged competitively, so there will be no authoritarian hierarchical organizations where respect and honor is paid to the position held. Instead all will be equally honored and respected, regardless of job title or qualification, solely for who they are – beloved children of God, and sisters and brothers to each other.

The divisiveness of the old ways is ending. All on the planet deserve loving acceptance and respect without judgment or evaluation of their skills, their position in the community or organization, their race, their culture, their beliefs, or their life-styles. And because you are releasing your old unloving and divisive attitudes this will occur easily and spontaneously, as all sense of threat or disapproval disappears, to be replaced by fascination and a desire to understand and, when appropriate, engage with unfamiliar cultures and beliefs, instead of avoiding them.

These changes will inspire amazing creative ventures in which all who feel attracted to them can take part. All will be encouraged and assisted to develop skills and competencies in any field that appeals to them, and there will be mentors available to guide and inspire all to uncover and develop skills and talents which previously had lain hidden within them. A new age full of amazing and brilliant creative ideas and concepts is dawning, in which all will be able to participate effectively and competently, and this will give rise to unprecedented happiness and satisfaction everywhere on the planet.

Your loving brother, Jesus.

How You SHOULD Respond To Criticism . . .

2011-12-26T17:46:00.004+01:00

Constructive criticism is a good thing. It helps you improve yourself and refine your skills. Destructive criticism, on the other hand, is useless and serves no good purpose, aside from hurting your feelings.

Destructive Criticism - What Should You Do?

Even though it's difficult receiving destructive and negative criticism, you should still listen to it. This type of criticism is normally motivated out of someone else's need to feel superior, but there may be a shred of truth in there somewhere.

Try not to take it personally because, chances are, you're not the problem. The person lashing out may be feeling envious or jealous, which colors their opinion.

Destructive criticism tends to be a personal attack. When the heart of an insult or comment is you (rather than something you've done), it is destructive and should be ignored. After all, no one has the right to determine your self-esteem!

Constructive Criticism - How to Respond Appropriately

Constructive criticism is meant to help you. Listen carefully to what the person is saying. When the speaker is finished, ignore any personal attacks and simply let them know you'll consider your actions.

Constructive criticism can be useful if it's based on performance or behavior. We don't always see our own behaviors in the same way others do, so listening to others' viewpoints can be helpful.

Constructive criticism usually comes from a place of genuine concern. If the person giving the criticism didn't care about you, they wouldn't offer the criticism in the first place.

If you receive professional constructive criticism from a superior, you should take notes and ask questions. If your boss is giving you constructive criticism about your job performance, take it to heart.

Your boss is likely speaking from experience and their job is to help you improve and excel. If they're taking time out of their day to offer their insight, it means they value you as an employee and believe you can do better, so the least you can do is listen.

Types of Constructive Criticism

There are certain expressions you can look for to know you're receiving constructive criticism. If you hear these, then recognize the person is trying to help you rather than attack you. Listen well to these types of criticism, analyze if there is credence to what is being said, and then act on their suggestions.

1. The compliment sandwich. Someone gives you a compliment followed by a suggestion for an area of improvement and then finally, another compliment.

* This tells you that the person sees the good things you do and thinks you can improve further.

2. Encouragement criticism. In this type of constructive criticism, the person is trying to help you do better at something you're already doing fairly well.

* This tells you the person knows you try hard and maybe even wants to help you take it to the next level.

3. Thank you. If the conversation starts with someone thanking you for a job well done, you can be sure that they appreciate your efforts.

* This person usually wants to help you do better because they like you.

When responding to constructive criticism, you want to be sure to understand where the person is coming from before you say anything. You should always ask them to clarify something if you don't fully understand what they're saying.

When you receive constructive criticism, consider what is being said honestly and objectively. Constructive criticism is all about improving. Unless you accept it from this point of view, it will be difficult to change your behavior for the better.

The only thing you need to say when receiving constructive criticism is simply "Thank You."

Responding appropriately to criticism shows your maturity and willingness to improve. So swallow your pride, take it in the spirit in which it's offered, and you'll come out on top.

Really hope this helps you, as criticism can certainly be tough to deal with, especially in today's tough economic climate.

Until next time,

Your friend and life coach,

What Do You Want For Christmas?

2011-12-25T11:31:00.000+01:00

Beloved one, many of you are approaching your holy days, the holy days that you have decreed in order to remember not the birth of one Yeshua, but truly the birth of the Christ. You do this annually so that you have opportunity that one of these years perhaps you will remember it is your own birth as the Christ child that you are celebrating. One of these times--and I say to you this is the year for it, because there have been so many changes in the collective consciousness and so many changes in the individual consciousness--you will come to the place where you awake to your own divinity, to your own Christ Self, to the power and magnitude of your divine holy Self.

This year in your days of holiness, celebrate how wonderful you are as an expression of the energy of divine Intelligence come forth from before time began in order to know expression of the divine, in order to know the love that you are, in order to know the joy that you are.

You have come forth not to suffer the slings and arrows of the world, but you have come forth to play as the innocent holy Child, to play in the joy that is your birthright, to go amongst the brothers and sisters and to encourage them to be Light-hearted once again. You are as the diamonds that sparkle on the ocean. You are the ocean, and you are the drop of water that glistens in the sun.

Allow yourself in this year to come alive in the knowing that it is the birth of the Christ child coming awake, finally, in this reality.

Now, in other realities you are awake; you as the One, you are awake. But in this reality you have said, "I will play for awhile with how it feels to be separate, asleep; to walk my own path and feel that I am alone."

When you take the word "alone" and break it apart, it is "all one". And yet the separated ego will come to you and will say, "You are alone in this world. There is no one who understands you. Even the parents did not understand you. The peers do not understand you. You don't even understand yourself."

Separated ego loves to come on stage and remind you of what the belief has been. Take that to heart: has been. However, there has been a shift in your understanding, your perspective, as well as a shift in the collective consciousness that is making it possible--not only possible, but probable--that in this year in your holy days there will be a new perception of what awakening means, and you will feel unburdened by all of the cares of the world and truly able to go with joy in your heart and light in the footsteps.

You will give the gifts to each other happily, because you want to give of yourself. That is why you give the gifts. It has been a tradition for a long, long time to give gifts during the holy days, and it stems from a deep longing to share of yourself. And as this reality believes in materiality and believes that things have to be tangible, you purchase or you make for ones the tangible gift and you give to them whatever that object may be.

But in truth, what you are giving to them is your love. What you are giving to them is your acknowledgment that they matter, that they have value, that you care about them. That is the bottom line, and that is what is important.

In truth, all of the gifts that are of tangible form are going to crumble into dust in time, sometimes in a short time. Sometimes they last a bit longer, but in time the tangible ones will go the way of all material things. But the love that you give to another one allows them to feel valued, to feel that they are important to someone.

You have seen many of the brothers and sisters wondering, "Why am I here? What good is it that I am here?" More and more of the brothers and sisters are facing this question now as the "economic health" of the whole global community seems to be having a bit of a challenge.

More and more of the brothers and sisters are having to set priorities, having to come to a place where they understand what is truly important, and perhaps getting back to giving of themselves rather than purchasing the expensive tangible gifts.

Everything happens to serve the atonement. I have said this over and over to you so many times that when I say it, it goes in one ear and out the other, bypassing the meaning sometimes. Everything serves the realization of at-One-ment.

Even your global economics is serving the Atonement. In some cases, ones are having to look for new employment and feeling that they are worth less if they cannot find it. They are having to reassess their value, to reassess, "What talents do I have? What can I give of myself?" And the wise ones are coming to a place where even if everything else may be stripped away from them, yet the spirit of them is alive and well.

All of you are the masters who have chosen once again to come to this reality that yet believes in separation, in loss, the possibility of abandonment, the possibility of dis-ease. You have chosen, out of great courage, to come once again to a reality that is not your home. You have not been sent here, afar off, as punishment for great sins. You chose to be here, and you chose, out of great courage, to be here one more time--because this is not your first time in this reality. It may be, if you choose, your last time in this reality, or not, because you may choose that you want to come back in full awareness at a time when the collective consciousness has reached full awareness, and that will happen, even in time.

Even now, if everything seems to show you the possibility of negative consequences, there is hope in your heart; hope is a great gift that you give to yourself. For truly, everything is better already. It will be better on the morrow; that is true. But already you can claim it right now.

It takes only the slightest shift in perception to say, "Hey, I am okay; not only okay; I am a wondrous being. How did I know how to put together all of the millions of cells of this body?" You coalesced the light energy into a form, where the body functions according to what seems to be an unconscious process, but in truth and in time you are going to know the consciousness of the divinity of the Energy which allows you to be incarnate with a solid form, and at the next moment you can be the energy that walks through walls.

Now, in this time as we are approaching your holy days, as we are approaching the time when you will be giving the gifts to each other, I would like to give you a gift. What would you like for Christmas? Think about it. What would you like? What do you want for Christmas?

Close the eyes for a moment and go within and take note of what comes to mind first of all. What do you want for Christmas this year? Think of the tangible things. Usually they come first. Take note of what comes after that. What do you want for Christmas?

Think about it. Allow your mind to be open.

If it has not come to you in just these few minutes, allow yourself in the next meditative time when you sit quietly to go deeper with it. What do you want for Christmas? What is your greatest desire? And know that truly you already have it. I gift it to you in this moment. Whatever it is that you desire, look for it, because it will be there. Look for it, because it is already yours.

I have the power to gift to you whatever you would ask for, for I am the very Son of God. Is it not written that I am the Son of God? I have the power to give you your heart's desire, and you have the power to receive it.

It may be hidden under the Christmas tree somewhere. It may be hidden under the Hanukkah bush. Most likely, it is hidden under a belief that says it cannot be. But I have the power to give it to you, and you have the power to receive it. Trust it. Receive it. Receive it joyfully. Open to it, and know that the secret, which is truly not secret, is that nothing can be denied the beloved -- which you are -- Holy – which you are – Child – which you are – because we are One.

Now, --do not fail me in this--I expect a thank you note. (Smile) When you realize your heart's desire, when you have identified it and when you have looked for it and when you have found it and when you have realized, "I had it all the time," and when you say, "Thank you" to Self, know that truly my love is the Love that you are abiding in, because it is the divine love of the One, and that is what Christmas--Christ Mass--is all about.

So be it.

El Poder de los Hologramas que se unen

2011-12-22T22:13:00.005+01:00

Bienamados:

Como hemos comentado recientemente, ustedes crean su propia realidad – con "r" minúscula - como un holograma. Hablamos de esto hace unos meses, de como todo lo que ven está dentro de su propio entendimiento de lo que la realidad puede ser, y es, para ustedes. Pusimos el ejemplo de la película de La Guerra de las Galaxias, que habían visto, donde unos luchaban con sus espadas, mientras otros en la película observaban esta pelea justo en frente de ellos, aunque los espadachines no estaban presentes en la misma habitación, sólo en el holograma. Sin embargo, ahora están empezando a entender que crean su holograma y es, en gran medida, algo muy parecido, a lo que podríamos llamar una "ilusión". Así se os ha descrito en otros textos para que pudieran entender que el mundo, la realidad – con "r" minúscula - es una ilusión.

Esto no significa que no sea real. Es definitivamente real. Si intentaran pasar a través de una pared ahora mismo, seguro que rebotarían, porque su realidad, su holograma, sus enseñanzas generacionales les han enseñado que el nivel vibratorio de la pared es diferente del nivel vibratorio de su cuerpo.

Van a llegar a un lugar, como hice yo cuando viví mi vida en la Tierra, donde serán capaces de sincronizar su nivel vibratorio al de la pared y podrán traspasar la pared, porque todo es energía. Ustedes son energía. La pared es energía, y pueden sintonizarse con ella.

Así que no nieguen la realidad –con "r" minúscula- que están creando, pero tenga muy presente que puede ser cambiada. Ahora bien, su Realidad – con"R" mayúscula - nunca cambia. Es lo divino que hay en su interior. Es el principio creativo dentro de ustedes, que ha existido desde antes que el tiempo comenzara y que seguirá existiendo cuando al propósito del tiempo le llegue su fin. Esa Realidad – con "R" mayúscula - es la que les permite crear los hologramas de las realidades – con "r" minúscula - y vivir en lo que aunque pareciera ser muy real es, sin embargo, un holograma o una ilusión.

Sé que algunos han leído en algunos de sus textos la idea de que su realidad es una ilusión y se han preguntado: "¿Cómo puede ser eso? Esto no es una ilusión. Esto es real"; y lo es – con "r" minúscula -. Verán, lo realmente bueno de todo esto es que porque es real, - con "r" minúscula - y porque es una ilusión, se puede cambiar. La Verdad no cambia, pero las "realidades" se pueden cambiar y, de hecho, cambian.

Decir que es un holograma es una forma de expresarlo, lo que quiero que entiendan es lo precioso que es su holograma y la bendición que subyace en el hecho de que puedan cambiarlo. Ahora bien, cuando dos o más de ustedes se reúnen y comparten el mismo holograma, queriendo lo mismo, hablando entre ustedes y encontrando una resonancia acerca de su realidad, se produce un poder exponencial. Pueden ver que esto es lo que está sucediendo justo ahora con la gente que se está levantando y que piden el cambio. Se llaman a sí mismos el 99% y están compartiendo partes de sus propios hologramas unos con otros. Hay muchísimo poder cuando juntan sus hologramas y comparten una misma perspectiva.

Son los que ahora están dispuestos a expresar su poder, no de una forma que sea destructiva, sino de un modo en que cooperando lleguen a unir sus hologramas, de modo que lleguen a solaparse. Puede que se superpongan del todo, algunos lo harán y, otros, sólo se solaparan en algún área de interés común, pero cuando se superponen y se da una fusión, se produce una resonancia y esto genera mucho poder.

Cuando les hablé hace dos mil años, les enseñé tan bien como fui capaz, a ver en cada persona a un hermano, una hermana, una extensión del único Creador. Intenté transmitirles lo amados que eran y que no necesitaban defenderse. Esto hizo que muchos estuvieran dispuestos a saltar a la arena y abandonar allí su cuerpo como testimonio de lo que creían y del cambio de holograma que había tenido lugar.

Había algunos que miraban todo esto desde las gradas y se preguntaban: "¿Cómo pueden estar tan alegres si van a dejar el cuerpo? ¿Qué es lo que ellos saben que yo no sé?" Debido a que estuvieron dispuestos a cambiar su holograma y a defender aquello en lo que creían, incluso aunque el ego separado dentro de su mente pudiera estar gritando, impactaron su holograma. Creyeron tan fuertemente en el holograma que se les había presentado y se agarraron tanto a él, que estuvieron dispuestos a dejar su cuerpo porque sabían que el cuerpo no era la Totalidad de lo que eran.

El cuerpo lo crearon para poder caminar entre los hermanos y hermanas, explorar maneras de conocer los diferentes hologramas, y crear armonía entre ellos. Sabían hace dos mil años que eran mucho más que su cuerpo, mucho más que la personalidad con la que se habían identificado hasta entonces, y estaban dispuestos a decir de buen ánimo: "Sí, si es lo que se requiere de mí, abandonaré el cuerpo," y así lo hicieron.

Cambiaron el holograma de los que les miraban porque se quedaron impresionados ante la nueva manera de ver la vida que representaba el que ustedes no se defendieran; se dieron cuenta de que tenía que haber algo mucho más grande que el cuerpo. Con ello les ofrecieron algo nuevo sobre lo que reflexionar que les cambiaría el mundo que habían conocido hasta entonces.

Es lo mismo que están haciendo en esta vida. Caminan entre amigos. Ahora, en esta época han encontrado muchos más amigos que comparten sus ideas sobre lo que es la vida y, que tampoco creen que vivir tenga que ser una lucha o algo temible sino que puede ser algo alegre y estar lleno de cosas buenas que celebrar. Cada día encuentren algo que les haga divertirse. El ego separado puede que se pregunte si es que han perdido un tornillo, a lo que le pueden contestar: "Vale, si pierdo un tornillo, ya encontraré otro por ahí". Tienen una oportunidad entonces de cambiar la manera en que ustedes ven el mundo y al hacerlo, cambiar el modo en que los hermanos y hermanas lo ven. Ustedes han visto su propio poder, y gracias a eso, ellos están empezando a descubrir el suyo. Durante demasiado tiempo la humanidad se ha sentido sin poder. El género humano sentía que el poder residía sólo en los líderes designados o en la realeza. La verdad es que no existe ninguna diferencia entre la sangre de la realeza y la de ustedes, pero sí ha existido esa creencia.

Durante demasiado tiempo han sido dóciles y han permitido que el poder, al parecer, estuviera en cualquier otro lugar, pero están despertando al hecho de que no sólo tienen el poder, sino que ustedes son ese poder, son el poder de elección, y van a hacer uso de este poder cada vez más, hasta que se logre la igualdad, la armonía y se llegue al entendimiento del honor y el respeto que merecen cada una de sus voces.

Están viviendo ahora en una época maravillosa, como dice la cita de uno de sus libros "el mejor y el peor de los tiempos", y verdaderamente así es. Es el mejor de los tiempos porque van a atravesar el peor de los tiempos para llegar a conocer lo mejor que se encierra en él.

¡Todos ustedes son tan amados!, esto no es lo que les han enseñado, tampoco es algo que les hayan reforzado ni reflejado a menudo. Cuando están en un grupo con mentes afines, entonces ven su valor reflejado de vuelta, pero algunas veces pierden el sentido de su propia valía cuando salen "al mundo", y sin embargo, cada parte que compone el mundo es divina, cada hermano y hermana son divinos, no podrían estar aquí si esto no fuese cierto, no podrían estar en su holograma, y si ellos están en su holograma, están allí para que los amen. Tomen esto que les digo de todo corazón.

El ego separado puede saltar diciendo "¡Lo que faltaba!, pues yo creo que están aquí para echarles de una patada". Ámenlos primero, y luego podrán echarles. Ámenlos primero, y quizás luego querrán que se queden. Es el mejor de los tiempos, y puede sentirse como el peor de los tiempos. Es importante que sepan que están dando a luz una Nueva Era. Llevan décadas escuchando hablar sobre la Nueva Era, y se preguntaban "sí pero ¿cuándo va a llegar?, ¿cuándo va a llegar aquí?", pues ya está aquí. Es su nuevo holograma que se va creando día a día a medida que llevan más Luz a su interior, y ven iluminarse a los demás cuando se acercan a ellos.

¿Saben a qué sentimiento me refiero? Es como cuando uno camina hacia un amigo y al vernos se ilumina, está realmente contento, hay una Luz entre nosotros. Reconocemos esa Luz. Esto está ocurriendo cada vez más, las luces se están encendiendo, incluso cuando algunos de esos "viejos gruñones" que siempre han pensado que todo iba de mal en peor, ahora sienten que la esperanza empieza a brotar en su corazón.

Quizás no vean la Luz todavía, pero comienzan a tener un poquito de esperanza de que tal vez las cosas tengan un potencial para mejorar en algún punto, aunque piensen que ese momento está todavía muy lejos, entonces ustedes se les acercan con una sonrisa en la cara, y un destello en la mirada, y esto les hace preguntarse "¿qué está pasando? ¿Cómo puede alguien venir con una sonrisa en medio de todo este caos, de toda esta lucha, de todos estos desafíos, de todas estas noticias negativas?

Bien, ¿y porqué no?, sienta mejor que fruncir el ceño. El ceño fruncido ya lo conocen muy bien, sólo les da un lugar que duele en medio de la frente, así que ahora permítanse sentirse ligeros, permítanse sonreír a los demás, incluso si no los conoce, especialmente si no los conoce. Sonríales como si los conociera. Esto hará que su día cambie, cambiará su holograma y también el de ellos, porque se habrán unido por un momento en la sonrisa, en la Luz.

Cuando ustedes mezclan completamente sus hologramas, se miran a los ojos, uniendo sus corazones y sus mentes surge un gran poder divino. Esto es lo que ven que está sucediendo ahora, con los que se están uniendo y vienen desde diferentes caminos, cada uno con sus distintas opiniones acerca de la vida, pero compartiendo un foco común: quieren ser reconocidos, quieren ser tratados con igualdad. Al compartir al menos esta parte de sus hologramas, quizás sea sólo una parte, pero a medida que empiezan con un solo punto en común, sus hologramas empiezan a unirse y después de un tiempo tal vez empiecen a debatir y a conversar y así sus hologramas se van uniendo cada vez más. Esto encierra un poder inmenso, un poder tal que es capaz de crear una nueva realidad. Y muy pronto, de acuerdo con mi noción del tiempo, que no siempre coincide con las suya (sonrisa), muy pronto estarán viviendo en esa Nueva Era tan anunciada. Ésta tiene ya su propio impulso, se está moviendo y evoluciona. Tienen un montón de profecías sobre qué sucederá en los próximos 12 meses porque una vez que se toma una elección a favor de la Luz, esa elección influye en las siguientes, y muy pronto tendrán la unión de más de sólo dos hologramas.

La nueva realidad es contagiosa y no puede parar de extenderse y crecer. Cuando los hologramas de dos, de tres y de cuatro, y luego de cinco, de seis y de más se unen y se convierten en una misma voz, comparten una misma visión y el conocimiento de que puede haber cambios, de que va a haber cambios, entonces el cambio ocurre, así de poderosos son.

Siempre les hablo de lo poderosos que son, de su parte divina; no como el mundo entiende el poder ahora, de todas formas en este mundo también se llegará a un punto en el que se entenderá lo que es el poder divino - en mi tiempo y en el suyo -; quizá en esta vida, quizás durante otra.

No todos los hermanos y hermanas quieren compartir el mismo holograma todavía. Ya hemos hablado de esto en otras conferencias, algunos están completando algunos temas que tenían pendientes de vidas anteriores. Sintieron que tenían que expiar algunos pecados pasados, por ello creen que tienen que luchar. Así que por algún tiempo seguirán forcejeando con la vida hasta que finalmente se cansen, paren por un momento para tomar una santa respiración profunda y se pregunten:" ¿No habrá otra manera de ver esto?" y en ese mismo momento recibirán la inspiración divina.

Durante los próximos doce meses verán cada vez más y más hermanos que se unirán compartiendo su holograma y con el deseo común de ser reconocidos como iguales, como extensiones divinas de un mismo Creador. Ahora bien, ellos no usarán estas palabras, emplearán otras, pero les moverá el deseo de entender, de reconocer y de retomar el poder que por algún tiempo parecieron dejar olvidado en alguna estantería perdida: el entendimiento de su propio poder divino y el poder de sentirse Uno- con "U" mayúscula- porque cuando consigan alinear todos sus hologramas, al ponerse de acuerdo entre ustedes, volverán a reconocer que es sentirse en la Unidad.

Y nadie tendrá que exponerse ya que va a ser bastante obvio que ellos hablan como una misma voz, desde un único corazón. Este es el poder de los hologramas que se unen, y esto es lo que va a suceder.

Expresiones Benditas, Extensiones de una misma Fuente divina creativa, eso es lo que ustedes son. ¿Saben lo amados que son? Siéntanlo durante un momento. Tomen una respiración profunda y sientan el amor que está a su alrededor y que entra en su corazón, sosteniéndoles como una madre sostendría a su nuevo bebé en sus brazos.

Sientan como se abre su corazón y sepan que ustedes son el Amado, mis amados, sí; amados por todos los Maestros, todos a los que ustedes ven como separados de ustedes: los guías, los maestros, los ángeles. Comparten su holograma con su ángel de la guarda, que les desea sólo lo mejor. Comparten su holograma con los maestros que caminan junto a ustedes, a los que pueden ver y a los que no ven.

Ha llegado el momento de liberarse de sus viejas creencias en el miedo, en la lucha y en su falta de valía, han completado un ciclo y ahora pueden permitirse sentir lo amados que realmente son y darse cuenta de que nada más importa. Son sumamente amados, son el Amado, el Bienamado por siempre en el tiempo y más allá del tiempo.

Así sea.

El autoritarismo científico- II

2011-12-21T16:24:00.000+01:00

J. Peteiro: “El cientificismo es una aberración ética facilitadora de un fascismo de nuevo cuño” (II)

Publicado por Miguel Jara el 17 de diciembre de 2011

Ayer publiqué la primera parte de la entrevista con el cientifico Javier Peteiro autor del libro El autoritarismo científico. Como comentaba, dado que la entrevista es larga hoy ofrezco la segunda parte. Si no lo habéis hecho leed la primera pues no tienes desperdicio y desde que la publiqué se ha creado debate en los comentarios.

-¿Puede convertir o se ha convertido para determinado sector de la sociedad y la propia ciencia ésta en una religión?

La Ciencia es admirable y admirada. Y es lógico que así sea dado el impresionante avance epistémico que ha supuesto el método científico, por no hablar de todas las aplicaciones que nos ha dado. La Ciencia nos ha colocado realmente en el mundo. La imagen científica del hombre y del cosmos ha sido revolucionaria y a ella se resisten sólo ignorantes y nostálgicos (creacionistas, diseño inteligente…). Interrogantes que inicialmente eran metafísicos han sido desplazados por la Ciencia. ¿A dónde mirar para resolver nuestros problemas sino a la Ciencia? El caso del SIDA, por ejemplo, ha sido espectacular; desde su descripción como síndrome hasta el descubrimiento de su etiología y el tratamiento con antirretrovirales han transcurrido muy pocos años y han sido suficientes para convertir una enfermedad letal a muy corto plazo en una situación crónica. Hay negacionistas también aquí (incluso un premio Nobel como Kary Mullis), pero también hay quien niega que se haya llegado a la Luna o que el mundo haya tardado en formarse más de seis días.

Ese poder de la Ciencia para responder preguntas esenciales y para proporcionar solución a problemas prácticos ha hecho que mucha gente vea en ella la gran promesa, la única posibilidad salvífica. Los transhumanistas serían un caso extremo en la manifestación de esta esperanza que acaba creyendo en la posibilidad de alcanzar la inmortalidad asociada a una singularidad tecnológica relativamente próxima.

Al lado del avance imparable de la Ciencia, se ven las consecuencias, nefastas en ocasiones, de las meras creencias. Sabemos a donde han conducido y conducen los fanatismos religiosos de todo tipo. Sabemos de la esterilidad de muchos planteamientos filosóficos. Es comprensible que se llegue a considerar la Ciencia como el gran referente. Pero eso supone ignorar que hay áreas de conocimiento y de discusión que exceden el ámbito científico.

Asistimos a una creencia generalizada en el poder de la Ciencia para hablar de lo que puede pero también de lo que no puede, como la ética por ejemplo (basta con ver los trabajos de los autodenominados “filósofos experimentales”). En esa creencia, hay científicos y divulgadores que asumen el papel de un nuevo sacerdocio, el de la interpretación de datos científicos y la orientación a la ciudadanía. Es habitual oír en los telediarios la expresión “según los expertos…” para dar cuenta a continuación de lo que sea, tanto si es algo rigurosamente comprobado como si es una entelequia sin fundamento. Se ha hecho delegación en esos expertos. Se confía demasiado en los divulgadores, no necesariamente científicos, sin tener en cuenta que en esa divulgación transmiten no sólo ciencia sino creencia.

Creo que se olvida con demasiada frecuencia que la actividad científica es humana, demasiado humana, es decir, susceptible a todo lo bueno y lo malo de quien la hace posible. Hay una historia de la Ciencia, no surge como algo puro, sino influido por intereses de todo tipo, como los que se dan en el ámbito de las grandes industrias alimentaria, diagnóstica y farmacéutica. Los transgénicos, por ejemplo; no se puede decir de ellos que sean buenos o malos. Depende de su utilización. Es incuestionable el valor que ha tenido la ingeniería genética en el acceso a posibilidades terapéuticas como la insulina; pero es muy discutible la pretendida bondad de una potencial colonización vegetal por cultivos transgénicos y sus consecuencias para países pobres.

No se puede confiar absolutamente en la Ciencia. Hay que cuestionársela constantemente porque se da en contextos socioeconómicos determinados, surge con fines concretos y sirve a intereses no siempre éticos.

-¿Puede la Ciencia ser el único referente de conocimiento para el Ser Humano?

Indudablemente no. Con todo lo importante que es, somos demasiado complicados como para ser dichos exclusivamente por la Ciencia. Necesitamos la Literatura, el Arte, la Filosofía… necesitamos pensar, discutir, y lo más importante, conocernos a nosotros mismos.

No tiene sentido tratar de pensar filosóficamente al margen de la Ciencia, pero tampoco lo tiene tratar de responder a las grandes cuestiones sólo desde la Ciencia. Cada uno es un sujeto único e irrepetible y no se explicará a sí mismo desde la Ciencia. El sueño de una comprensión exclusivamente científica del ser humano equivale al olvido de lo que le es más propio, su subjetividad.

-¿Qué puede hacerse para desmarcar a la Ciencia del cientificismo?

Ser honesto. No extrapolar injustificadamente y no tratar de justificar científicamente lo que es un mero prejuicio. Esto último ocurre con mucha frecuencia. No toda la ciencia es buena. Abundan los trabajos científicos ridículos e inútiles. Los premios “Ig Nobel” son un claro ejemplo de ciencia inútil. Sucede que a veces se hace ciencia para fundamentar a posteriori una creencia previa. La hicieron los nazis (basta con recordar el trabajo de la Ahnenerbe), pero también se hace ahora, estudiando los receptores de la vasopresina para relacionarlos con la infidelidad o midiendo regiones cerebrales en homosexuales, por citar sólo dos de muchos ejemplos.

El cientificismo, al poner como única referencia a la Ciencia, es una aberración ética facilitadora de un fascismo de nuevo cuño.

Sólo desde la posición ética podrá hacerse una Ciencia al servicio del hombre y no al revés. No puede admitirse la contemplación de la Ciencia como la realización de lo posible. Y esos planteamientos éticos no precisan de circunstancias excepcionales para que hayan de hacerse, como ocurrió en el desarrollo armamentístico. En la actualidad la Biología sintética es accesible incluso a aficionados (bio-hackers) y ante ella los métodos de ADN recombinante parecen un juego de niños. Como la Economía, la Ciencia debe ser regulada ética y políticamente. Estamos sufriendo las consecuencias del neoliberalismo, del dejar hacer a los mercados. Sería mucho más terrible dejar hacer todo lo que la Tecnociencia puede hacer, especialmente en el ámbito biológico.

-Me parece sano mirar el mundo desde la Ciencia y con un sano escepticismo y pensamiento crítico pero ¿no necesitamos también interpretar la ciencia con escepticismo y espíritu crítico?

El espíritu crítico es esencial a la hora de juzgar una publicación científica. Por ejemplo, en oncología una elevada significación estadística puede acompañarse de una escasa significación clínica, y una reducción importante en riesgo relativo puede acompañarse de una disminución muy baja en riesgo absoluto. Resultados llamativos aislados aconsejan la prudencia de esperar a ver si son reproducidos, como ocurrió en su momento con la “fusión fría”.

La Ciencia en general debe contemplarse como lo que es, una acción humana realizada en un contexto social determinado. Se han dado sesgos por conflictos de interés y ocultación de resultados negativos. No siempre los autores de un trabajo han contribuido a él, abundando las llamadas “salami publications” y el ghostwriting. La competitividad entre científicos, que siempre se ha dado, tiene efectos positivos pero también consecuencias tan negativas que pueden llegar al fraude en la obsesión por la primacía de un descubrimiento. Y hay resultados que deben verse con un sano escepticismo. Cuando un ensayo multicéntrico dice algo sobre la eficacia de la oración intercesora en la evolución de operados de by-pass cardíaco, por ejemplo, habrá que pensar qué motivó semejante estudio, porque por muy científico que sea y muy prestigiosa la revista que lo acoja, no deja de ser una solemne tontería, ciencia basura.

-¿Cree que hay gobiernos y grandes corporaciones que están empleando la ciencia de modo utilitarista, que se basan en ella para justificar la introducción en el mercado de servicios y tecnologías cuya inocuidad se desconoce e incluso que se sabe que no son inocuos pero se crea “ruido científico” para distraer a la población de sus efectos?

Sí. En nuestros días ese carácter utilitario se da especialmente en el ámbito de la salud y de la alimentación. Asistimos a una medicalización de lo normal (“disease mongering”) por la que no sólo se tratan enfermedades, sino también alejamientos de una hipotética normalidad y el riesgo de padecerlas aunque éste sea bajo o esté mal definido. Los niveles de colesterolemia considerados óptimos han ido bajando progresivamente lo que supone que las estatinas sean uno de los medicamentos más utilizados y los estanoles dietéticos cada vez más consumidos; cada día hay más niños medicados por sobrediagnóstico de déficit de atención con hiperactividad. Ya no hay timidez ni impotencia sino fobia social y disfunción eréctil con webs informativas dedicadas a revelar su alta prevalencia y a señalar la esperanza que proporcionan los fármacos consiguientes. Aun siendo de eficacia similar, más bien pobre, la cantidad de antidepresivos distintos disponible aumenta de día en día.

La gripe A mostró el poder de las multinacionales para movilizar el miedo generalizado a través de un organismo como la OMS. Creo que, con ser grave, el problema principal de esa actuación no fue la acumulación inútil de vacunas y de antivirales sino la desconfianza generada en la ciudadanía ante futuras alarmas realistas con implicación de reticencias a vacunaciones masivas.

En estos tiempos es habitual demonizar a la industria farmacéutica, a veces con razón, pues se han dado escándalos manifiestos. Pero la Medicina está siendo dirigida también en buena medida por los intereses de la industria diagnóstica con programas de cribado masivo de eficacia dudosa y con el abuso de pruebas complementarias generadoras en una fracción importante de casos de mero ruido informativo y yatrogenia.

En cuanto a la alimentación asistimos a una obsesión por lo “saludable”. Prebióticos y probióticos inundan los supermercados del primer mundo, a la vez que millones de personas mueren de hambre. En tiempos había publicaciones que avalaban que el café era un factor de riesgo de cáncer de páncreas; ahora se dice que es bueno porque tiene antioxidantes. Hay quien ve que el hambre en el mundo es solucionable mediante los transgénicos, pero su efecto ecológico dista mucho de ser conocido y no parece ser precisamente beneficioso para la biodiversidad. El cambio climático asusta y por eso se patentan ya especies modificadas con genes de resistencia.

El interés por proporcionar antidepresivos, estatinas, transgénicos o incluso plásmidos con genes concretos no es científico ni humanitario. Es comercial.

Hay que tener en cuenta además el gran cambio que se ha operado en la comercialización de la Ciencia. No hace muchos años, salvando alguna excepción, se patentaba lo sintético, lo construido por el hombre. Ahora es patentable lo descubierto, sean semillas o genes. No puede decirse con propiedad que la Ciencia sea patrimonio de la humanidad, sino más bien de quien la compra.

En cuanto al “ruido científico” es curioso ver en telediarios y suplementos dominicales las promesas de una Medicina inminente, personalizada, con sus microarrays, sus instrumentos nanotecnológicos y sus estudios genome wide. Casi cada día nos hablan del descubrimiento de genes que podrían ser interesantes en la lucha contra el cáncer, el envejecimiento, el Alzheimer. Ante tanta promesa parece darse la obligación de ser “positivo” y optimista. Y si alguien no lo es, acabará siendo culpable de lo que le pase, por no tener sus endorfinas a punto. Todo eso sí que es ruido informativo, distracción pura y dura que contrasta con una realidad, la económica, que ningún divulgador explica con la misma claridad con la que se explica el origen del cosmos. Y es un contraste con una realidad en la que la sanidad universal no lo es tanto, como se ha visto últimamente, siendo así que esa Medicina prometida, esos cribados costosos tan sensibles y los medicamentos novedosos acabarán siendo para ricos; para los que no lo sean siempre quedará lo que algún político ha calificado con el mayor descaro la “medicina básica”, esto es, de beneficencia.

Ya que ha surgido el término “distracción”, aunque sea en otro contexto, me gustaría señalar el efecto perverso de la divulgación científica existente, que muestra lo bello de la Ciencia pero no las serias dificultades que acarrea la investigación científica. El joven que tiene vocación científica, a veces desde la divulgación, ha de sortear en condiciones normales numerosos escollos para poder realizarla, incluyendo condiciones salariales precarias y apropiaciones indebidas de autorías por otros, y de eso en general no se habla nunca. Por otro lado, a la vez que todos los políticos reconocen en público la importancia de invertir en I+D+i, estamos viendo cómo en nuestro país eso pasa a ser un lujo en época de crisis.

J. Peteiro: “El cientificismo es la creencia en que la Ciencia es la única posibilidad de conocimiento” (I)
Publicado por Miguel Jara el 16 de diciembre de 2011

Me ha gustado mucho el libro El autoritarismo científico, escrito por el Doctor en Medicina y jefe de la sección de Bioquímica del Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de A Coruña, Javier Peteiro. Creo, como le expuse en mi correo de contacto para hacer esta entrevista, que va a marcar un antes y un después en el ámbito de la divulgación científica. Me ha parecido honesto que critique lo que denomina “pseudociencias” y al mismo tiempo y sobre todo el cientificismo que él llama cientificismo.

“Acabo de estar viendo su blog -me explicó- y me parece muy interesante el planteamiento genérico subyacente a él de ‘dudar de todo’. Esa es o debiera ser la postura del método científico. No tanto como duda absoluta, como duda -creencia-, sino como planteamiento abierto al debate razonado y a la fuerza de los hechos. Y esa debiera ser la postura de cualquier ciudadano, un moderado escepticismo inicial hasta que suficientes elementos de juicio orienten el planteamiento propio“. Como veis, ya desde nuestra primera toma de contacto se nota que es un hombre de ideas claras, limpias y dispuesto para el debate. “Creo que vivimos en una época que hace necesario más que nunca el debate, especialmente en el contexto del ataque que se está haciendo a la educación y especialmente a la humanística“.

De acuerdo con él, le mandé unas preguntas que ha respondido con tanta pasión y profusión que sus respuestas voy a publicarlas en dos días consecutivos dada la extensión de las mismas.

-Comienzas tu libro tratando sobre lo que denominas las falsas ciencias o “pseudociencias” ¿cuales son estas y por qué no son ciencias?

Son pseudociencias aquellas creencias o afirmaciones que se presentan como científicas pero que no se sostienen en el método científico. Con frecuencia se revisten de modo inadecuado de términos científicos: “energía” de los cristales o sanación “cuántica”, por ejemplo. A veces la carencia de base empírica se trata de suplir por la autoridad de científicos involucrados en muy escasos experimentos realizados y no reproducidos (tal sería el caso de Benveniste o incluso del premio Nobel Luc Montagnier en apoyo de la homeopatía). Las pseudociencias abarcan un amplio espectro, desde los supuestos rastros arqueológicos de alienígenas hasta numerologías extrañas o terapias alternativas.

No basta con una teoría aparentemente coherente de lo observable; se necesita el aval empírico. La Ciencia auténtica se basa en un método insensible a prejuicios por lo que no basta con que alguien descubra algo; lo observado, lo experimentado, ha de ser reproducible, comprobable por otros. Y es desde esos datos como se destruyen, modifican o construyen teorías. Por el contrario, las pseudociencias suelen mantener un anacronismo dogmático en la esperanza infundada en que avances científicos futuros probarán su hipotética verdad.

En el caso de pseudociencias médicas, se oye habitualmente la expresión “a mí me fue muy bien con tal producto o con tal práctica”. Eso es creíble, pero es anecdótico. Para que un medicamento sea reconocible como tal es preciso que funcione mejor que nada o, dicho de otro modo, que sea superior al placebo. Eso supone la prueba estadística, el contraste de hipótesis en forma de ensayo clínico que revelará o no su pretendida eficacia. Algo análogo ocurre con los factores de riesgo; no basta con asumir, por ejemplo, que los móviles son perjudiciales, hay que probarlo y, en caso afirmativo, estudiar la magnitud del efecto potencial. Hay que tener en cuenta, no obstante, que la Medicina no es mera ciencia aplicada; supone una relación clínica y no es descartable que en ciertos casos una relación diagnóstica sea a la vez terapéutica. La palabra puede ser curativa aunque la acompañe un medicamento ineficaz. En ese sentido, médicos que practican terapias alternativas pueden obtener, según los casos, resultados beneficiosos. Hay también una cuestión de grado; nadie en su sano juicio intentaría tratar un cáncer con productos homeopáticos.

Lo irracional y lo fantástico mantienen su atractivo, sigue habiendo gente que visita a astrólogos y hay quien se comunica con muertos o es abducido por naves extraterrestres. Creo que era Shermer quien afirmaba que la existencia de fenómenos extraordinarios requiere de pruebas extraordinarias. Tal sería el caso, por ejemplo, de potenciales visitas de alienígenas o la comunicación con muertos. No basta con testimonios aislados de pilotos aéreos, ni con afirmaciones de mediums por muy serios y honestos que sean.

Me gustaría llamar la atención sobre una actitud pseudocientífica pretendidamente escéptica, el negacionismo, consistente en ver oscuros intereses por todas partes. Ocurre en el caso de las vacunas. Es cierto que se han dado tristes exageraciones e incluso abusos en esta cuestión (la gripe A ha sido un buen ejemplo), pero es innegable el efecto beneficioso que los programas de vacunación han tenido en la lucha contra las grandes epidemias que asolaban a la humanidad. La creencia en la asociación entre vacunación y autismo, por ejemplo, refutada científicamente, ha privado a niños de defensas contra enfermedades potencialmente terribles y no ha influido en la prevalencia del autismo.

-¿Qué es el cientificismo -es lo mismo que cientifismo-?

Creo que podemos considerar sinónimos los términos cientismo, cientifismo o cientificismo. Elegí este último porque es el recogido por la Real Academia, con varias acepciones. El cientificismo es, desde mi punto de vista, una exageración, la creencia en que la Ciencia es la única posibilidad de conocimiento y la única fuente de esperanza. Hay cientificismo cuando se hace una extrapolación injustificable, acientífica, desde el conocimiento científico en un campo. Quizá el caso más obvio sea la creencia en Dios. Hay científicos ateos, agnósticos y teístas. Un gran escéptico como Martin Gardner se confesó creyente; no tiene que ver una cosa con la otra. Lo que no es honesto, desde mi punto de vista, es avalar una creencia personal con argumentos científicos. Hay dos ejemplos claros, Dakwins predicando su ateísmo y Tipler haciendo lo contrario, pero Dios no es un observable científico; dicho de otro modo, su interés científico es sencillamente nulo.

Pero hay un cientificismo mucho más peligroso, el de un reduccionismo simplista de todo lo humano, el ver en la depresión o en cualquier estado de ánimo sólo un balance de neurotransmisores, el de tratar de resucitar una frenología al confundir correlatos de imagen cerebral funcional con relaciones causales locales, el de un geneticismo extremo. No es nuevo; ya hace años se asoció la dotación XYY a la criminalidad. Ahora que se han descartado en general asociaciones monogénicas con comportamientos complejos, persiste el intento de buscar asociaciones mediante aproximaciones de “fuerza bruta” tipo “genome wide”. Si bien es legítimo tratar de encontrar componentes bioquímicos o alteraciones neurobiológicas subyacentes a un trastorno psíquico, no lo es asumir sin más una causalidad simple no comprobada, un “no es más que…”

Sin embargo, desde postulados biologicistas no fundamentados, asistimos a una medicalización injustificable de la conducta y a una esperanza ciega en que se acabarán encontrando los genes responsables o regiones cerebrales afectadas aunque no exista una base real que lo haga previsible.

En ese cientificismo naïf subyace la negación de la libertad y de la responsabilidad de cada cual. Uno sería como es por sus genes, por sus neuronas o por sus neurotransmisores y así sería visible, comprensible, incluso predecible, mediante la imagen cerebral funcional o el estudio genético.

En realidad, aunque compartan rigor metodológico, hay Ciencias en plural más que Ciencia. No es lo mismo la Física con capacidad de predicción, que la Biología, más bien narrativa. Hay quien diferencia, precisamente por esa posibilidad predictiva, entre ciencias duras y ciencias blandas. Es importante, porque, si bien el comportamiento de una estrella es predecible desde sus condiciones iniciales y de contorno, el comportamiento de un ser humano no lo es desde el conocimiento de sus genes y su entorno.

-¿Cuales son las manifestaciones actuales más peligrosas del cientificismo y por qué escribe sobre un autoritarismo -¿un fascismo?- científico?

Creo que el ataque a la libertad. Si creemos que estamos determinados por nuestros genes, que somos manipulables mediante psicofármacos o terapias conductistas, y que la imagen cerebral da cuenta de lo que nos pasa y de nuestras creencias, de cómo sentimos, sufrimos y gozamos en una palabra, no somos responsables de nuestros actos. Esto ya ocurre. Se está dando una demanda de diagnóstico y tratamiento a médicos o psicólogos en situaciones que no son propiamente clínicas, algo facilitado por la proliferación de etiquetas para todo, como muestra el DSM, y por la creencia de que cualquier perturbación de nuestro estado de ánimo ha de ser tratable en un contexto de obligación de ser felices.

Si pasamos de ser una biografía a una mera biología, ya todo estaría dicho. Es la vía a la alienación del ser humano. Se asume en general que Ciencia equivale a verdad y bondad. Y en nombre de la Ciencia asistimos a auténticas aberraciones. No es lejano el tiempo de las lobotomías generalizadas (premiadas con el Nobel en 1949).

La Ciencia se ha convertido en el oráculo moderno. La cantidad de tests prenatales disponibles aumenta progresivamente induciendo a una selección negativa, es decir, a abortos; no es descartable en absoluto a corto o medio plazo una selección positiva de los mejor dotados genéticamente. La tentación eugenésica es evidente y recuerda claramente las aspiraciones de mejora racial nazi.

Se intenta predecir el comportamiento criminal (casi como en “Minority Report”) mediante tests actuariales y técnicas de imagen cerebral funcional (hay quien recorre las prisiones de EE.UU. con un sistema de NMR y la imagen cerebral ya se ha admitido como prueba en algunos juzgados americanos). En nombre de la Ciencia, por el bien de la sociedad, por nuestro bien, podremos ser juzgados como probables criminales futuros. No parece posible una mejor realización de la fantasía orwelliana.

Los tests psicométricos, con su perversión de la metodología estadística, han servido hace años para impedir la entrada de determinadas personas en EE.UU. Los hay para todos y para todo: felicidad, autoestima, inteligencia, estabilidad de pareja, violencia… sirviendo en nombre de la Ciencia para posicionar y segregar al sujeto, sea para un proyecto profesional, para un empleo o para una póliza de seguro de vida.

Si la Ciencia deja de estar al servicio del ser humano, convirtiéndose en su amo, en su única referencia, la posibilidad de un autoritarismo científico es obvia. Estamos viviendo ahora una situación en la que la orientación política queda aparcada frente al tecnicismo económico neoliberal. Viene a ser un ejemplo de cómo el conocimiento técnico, dudoso por otra parte, prima sobre cualquier debate político. La Ciencia no es sólo un conocimiento puro; lo es para alguien. Ya sucedió en las guerras mundiales y sucede ahora. El acceso elitista a la Ciencia y a sus aplicaciones puede esclavizar literalmente a muchos.

Además, ocurre de modo aparentemente paradójico que el cientificismo es nocivo para la propia Ciencia porque trata de hacerla más “científica”. Parece un juego de palabras pero no lo es. Los investigadores profesionales viven de eso, de su trabajo científico. Ahora bien, no todo el mundo puede investigar lo que quiere; hay proyectos financiables y hay finalidades políticas y económicas que influyen en esa financiación. Y todo eso es regido en última instancia por criterios pretendidamente científicos por medibles: calidad, excelencia, impacto, eficiencia… La canalización “científica” de las ayudas a proyectos, con sus comités de expertos, cercena en no pocos casos la libertad y la creatividad que facilitan el propio avance científico. La gente acaba así metida en líneas “productivas”, es decir que conducirán a publicaciones en función de las cuales serán financiadas, cerrando el círculo. La afirmación de Kornberg de que el mejor proyecto es no tener ninguno quedó en el olvido. El cientificismo asfixia a la Ciencia.

En la creencia de que la Ciencia es el único saber, estamos asistiendo a un desprecio de lo humanístico y a una pérdida de la universalidad que caracterizó alguna vez a las universidades. Los efectos de esa ignorancia de un saber fundamental como la Historia, la Literatura o la Filosofía serán sin duda negativos. Lo triste es que se adoptan políticas educativas deshumanizadoras a sabiendas, en la creencia de que lo rentable en realidad es formar a técnicos flexibles y no a personas críticas.

Bueno ya ven que no tiene desperdicio este hombre y que podría subrayar o poner en negritas casi todo. Mañana la segunda parte de la entrevista. Espero que les haga pensar y aprender a ser aún más críticos.
