"TRANS-PORTALS 3: BUILDING ASTRAL BRIDGES"</p>
</p>
My Dear Friends,</p>
There is much interest and excitement around this experience, known as</p>
Astral Travel---connections, remembrances, focused intent---all of which</p>
truly have power to provide for you an instant interface with the</p>
Multidimensional Self. We have been offering you this information in</p>
layers, so to speak, so that your consciousness can upgrade itself</p>
naturally---and in total conformity with the itinerary which you,</p>
yourself,laid down when you began your human existence. Each tone, each</p>
idea we provide, will produce its own special "journey" within. And there</p>
is no need for you to miss a single one!</p>
Welcome aboard The Multidimensional Ship! Its observation deck is your</p>
entire perceptual reality. And it is now in motion. YOU are now in</p>
motion.If you only realized how fast you were going, you would probably feel</p>
a bit ill. In truth, many of you are currently experiencing signs and</p>
symptoms of what we call Global Acceleration Syndrome. We provide this</p>
title to honor</p>
your medical paradigm, even though it is not any kind of official medical</p>
diagnosis. Muscle aches and pains, lethargy, fatigue, spacey-ness, panic</p>
attacks, depression, insomnia, memory-loss, confusion---these are just a few</p>
of the uncomfortable side-effects produced by the incredible velocity at</p>
which you are traveling.</p>
Your world appears to continue as it always has because YOUR MIND requires</p>
this in order to keep from flying apart. Your anxiety and hesitancies are</p>
the same feelings shared by those who sailed with Columbus. Bound for a new</p>
world, they trembled as they sailed, believing their world to be flat. Even</p>
so....... many of you also tremble---certain that you may "go over the edge"</p>
at any moment!</p>
If you can receive assistance by a health care professional, and your inner</p>
guidance affirms this course of action, we encourage you to do so.</p>
However,if everything you try seems empty and useless......be strong! Be</p>
patient.</p>
Deliverance is soon at hand. The journey has begun, and there are wonders</p>
ahead, and beauty beyond imagining. The travails of childbirth are many,</p>
but the prize that follows far outweighs the pain. Believe this, receive</p>
it, and your anxious heart will slowly learn to find rest.</p>
</p>
INSIDE THE SHIP</p>
</p>
Spaceship Earth is a Holographic Being. Structurally, it is like a gift box</p>
that some imaginative person sends you for Christmas. When you remove the</p>
lid, you find a slightly smaller box, fully wrapped---just like the first</p>
one, containing another (even smaller) box, which contains yet another, and</p>
another, and another.........all the way down to your one-celled creatures.</p>
Each "level" of your Ship contains all of the basic elements of every other</p>
"level." Some of the features are minimized, in certain aspects, so that</p>
others can be maximized and focused upon. But it's all there! And it's all</p>
synchronized, like moving parts in a pocket watch. It all blends together</p>
beautifully.</p>
You have been packing for this journey for quite sometime now. Around the</p>
planet there has formed a band of energy---several concentric bands, in</p>
fact. The one of which we speak is electromagnetic in nature. It contains</p>
diagrams, spreadsheets, poetry, tables of elements, fragments of speech,</p>
music, data, archives of human history, bits of TV shows, radio broadcasts,</p>
faxes, motion pictures, cell-phone conversations, digital art, and much more</p>
besides. When you prepared for this particular journey, you knew you had to</p>
pack LIGHT.......because you knew that was the only thing that could go! We</p>
are speaking here of your Earth Essence Timeless Capsule.</p>
This "Level" of the Planetary Ship is connected to and modulated by sacred</p>
powerspots all over the planet. It is, literally, an ARC of</p>
Energy..........not unlike that other Ark which was built by Noah, so long</p>
ago. Within it, you have placed the best of you---your creations, your</p>
memories, your very lives! However, be advised. Entry onto The Arc is not</p>
made two-by-two. This "level" of the Oneself is leaving duality behind.Each</p>
individual must pass through what is called the "Eye of the Needle," as a</p>
Unified Oneself, in order to come aboard.</p>
Meanwhile, back on the "hard deck," a good portion of humanity is determined</p>
to stay the course, fully in denial---apparently choosing to "play it cool"</p>
all the way through the Fourth Dimensional Corridor. Now *that* should make</p>
quite a picture, indeed.</p>
But you, Dear Ones....... you need not suffer any longer with this</p>
illusion.Everything you have felt within---the many surges and flashes of</p>
energy up and down your spine---are quite real. They are transmutative</p>
jump-starts</p>
for new and important programs that have been installed in your</p>
consciousness. Soon, all your new perceptual software will come completely</p>
online. And then, the fun begins! A very wise man once said: "Don't</p>
compare your insides with other people's outsides." We underscore this</p>
message whole-heartedly. You are not crazy, and you are not falling</p>
apart.It just occasionally feels that way. In fact, you are really falling</p>
together! So let it be.</p>
</p>
MORE ABOUT THE PORTALS</p>
</p>
There is no one present upon Planet Earth at this time who is not regularly</p>
traversing Energy Gates and Portals. Some are very aware of it, and even</p>
relish the idea. Others are quite disturbed, because the experiences are</p>
not exactly what they had planned, or seem beyond their immediate</p>
understanding and control. Still others have found effective ways to</p>
insulate themselves almost entirely from this knowledge---which serves a</p>
purpose, albeit a temporary one. Soon all humanity will be speaking</p>
fluently about Trans-Portals, though they may be called by many</p>
names.Indeed, these Energy Gates will soon form a good deal of the</p>
conceptual framework for your upcoming human journey.</p>
We are The Reconnections. We are all those parts of your Expanded Self</p>
which you had to forget about when you came into physical form. We've never</p>
been very far from you, just far enough. If there is something that you</p>
currently believe about yourself, we make up *everything else* that you</p>
could also believe. If there is something that you deny about yourself, we</p>
form a repository for that energy until you feel ready to take it up</p>
again.Endless variety, endless ability.........all neatly catalogued for</p>
your use</p>
at any time or place. If something is not present *within* you, then it is</p>
being stored here, *within* us. This is because, in Oneness, there really</p>
is no such thing as "out." All doorways are marked "enter," and all</p>
pathways lead directly home.</p>
</p>
MEETING YOUR OPPOSITION</p>
</p>
Before a person can successfully fight a battle, he must define who the</p>
enemy is. Though we have frequently reminded you that everything is a</p>
reflection of self, you must realize that there are aspects of that "self"</p>
that have been created to oppose you, as grounding elements, or for</p>
educational purposes. As you will see later in this</p>
transmission,identifying and meeting your opposition is crucial to your next</p>
levels of</p>
unfoldment.</p>
Every birthing process involves both expansion and contraction. One part of</p>
the body pushes forward, while other parts resist. This is your dance of</p>
positive and negative energy. It is rapidly becoming impossible for a</p>
person to achieve enduring success without making contact with the "rest"</p>
of who he is. We are speaking now of the Multidimensional Self. There is</p>
much more to any situation than meets your physical eye. In truth, the</p>
puppets that currently dance in the theater of the physical are manipulated</p>
by strings being held by unseen hands. Every dance, every drama that is</p>
being enacted here, is designed to teach you more and more about those</p>
unseen forces.</p>
Relationship conflicts, financial difficulties, and political upheavals are</p>
perfect venues for a reconnecting soul to learn how to identify with *all</p>
sides* of any question. It is only when you are able to lift yourself out</p>
of a polarized state, into The Oneself, that you become able to access the</p>
necessary elements which will turn the tide for whatever physical challenge</p>
that is before you.</p>
Many people today are desperately looking for peace and safety. If</p>
something seems to be thwarting their goals, or irritating their status</p>
quo,they want to deal with it, so they can bring about a rapid resolution.</p>
They will choose to fight, or to negotiate---whichever seems most effective</p>
in the moment---and then they want to be able to return to "business as</p>
usual."</p>
But Friends, business can never be "usual" again. And any attempt on your</p>
parts to make it so will simply result in deeper and more complicated</p>
upheavals. The "box" in which you have all been living is being heated up</p>
from the outside. Aspects of your Expanded Self are stirring things up</p>
energetically so that you will be forced to look *outside of the physical</p>
world* in order to understand what has been creating your reality all along.</p>
</p>
THE ASTRAL PLANE</p>
</p>
Beyond the borders of your physical world, there are levels of consciousness</p>
that vibrate so rapidly that their purpose and presence often escapes the</p>
notice of those who are living and functioning in 3D. The Astral Plane</p>
contains beings that are either moving toward or away from physical density,</p>
yet which often have considerable influence over what is explored there at</p>
any given time.</p>
If you were to equate levels of human consciousness to keys on a piano, you</p>
would find that each "note" or tone represents one of the energy centers</p>
(chakras) functioning within, for example, your human body. You begin your</p>
tonal scale with "do," which is the first (root) chakra of that body, and</p>
you move up.......through "re" (the second chakra), mi (the third</p>
chakra),and so on..........all the way up to "ti," (the crown chakra) where</p>
you find yourself ready to begin playing again at a new octave. The Astral</p>
Plane begins the gateway into the next octaves of your conscious experience.</p>
</p>
Those who have made serious studies into ethereal reality tend to be</p>
somewhat negative in their attitude towards the Astral Plane. Many think of</p>
it as an etheric "junk yard," wherein divergent and confused energies wander</p>
aimlessly, trying to make sense of where they are, and how they came to be</p>
there. But these judgments are usually drawn by those who have already</p>
committed themselves to something. They forget how blissful it can be to</p>
simply window shop, to consider, and to resonate with several potential</p>
realities at once.</p>
Beyond the Astral Plane exists the Reconnected Oneself. Whereas the Astral</p>
is made up of consciousness that thinks or believes it nows</p>
things..........the Unified Oneself is the part of you which absolutely</p>
knows. It KNOWS because it contains all possible levels of every possible</p>
situation or interaction.</p>
When a person is finished with window shopping---having sufficiently</p>
explored all the possibilities---he or she will begin Reconnecting to</p>
Oneness. This is a process that can only be accomplished while that person</p>
is still present in physical form. In order to do it, he must be willing to</p>
forego all his mental ponderings, judgments, and emotional reactivity that</p>
makes up most of the drama in your everyday life. He must find a way to go</p>
above it, or perhaps to tunnel under it, connecting directly to the</p>
Universal Touchstone of Oneness with everything and everyone. When contact</p>
with that level of being is reached, all of his attachments and bondage to</p>
earthly outcome are erased. At that point, anything becomes possible.</p>
</p>
THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW</p>
</p>
Consider for a moment the image of a strong man,standing on a mountain peak,</p>
high above the Earth. Through the mist that surrounds his mountain,</p>
the man sees a second peak, directly across the valley. The thought enters</p>
his mind that he would like to experience that other peak, but there is way</p>
too much valley between the two. If he chose, the man could climb down from</p>
his mountain, travel through the valley, which seems rather dark and</p>
foreboding, and climb up the mountain on the other side. The mere thought</p>
of moving through that shadowy void, however, makes the whole prospect seem</p>
fearsome and impossible.</p>
The primary obstacle which blocks the attainment of this man's desire is the</p>
separation which he perceives between the two mountains. There seems to be</p>
just too big a gap for him to leap across. In many ways, this "gap" is at</p>
the root of nearly all problems which arise today in 3D reality.</p>
Change the scene. Two men meet together in a public park. One of them says</p>
or does something which deeply offends the other, and a shouting match</p>
occurs. The topic could be politics, religion, finances, or romance. It</p>
usually does not matter. This encounter is a programmed response, anyway.</p>
As each continues to speak his mind, the "gap" between them grows deeper and</p>
wider. Resentment, hatred, and disdain now exist where once there could</p>
have been trust and goodwill.</p>
Both of these men are Multidimensional. They are jewels with many</p>
facets.Each of them have selves that live high, on the mountain top, and</p>
each of them has variations of selves that live deep down in the Valley as</p>
well. In the Valley there are horrors galore---guilt, shame, and anger that</p>
never</p>
seems to be satisfied. What creates a shadow is some object or person that</p>
stands between a reflecting surface and the light. In the language of</p>
metaphor, your shadow is the part of your own self that is hidden from you</p>
because you are standing in your own way.</p>
What each man in the above story is reacting to is his own Shadow</p>
Reflection, seen in the face of the other. We have spoken about this</p>
principle at length in our transmission entitled "Relationships: A Time for</p>
Healing." For many years, this process of Creative Shadow Work has</p>
provided your planet with tools to complete certain alchemical changes that</p>
are required for the Reconnection of your Mental Body. Now it is time for</p>
you to begin penetration into your Emotional Body. It is time for you to</p>
leave the Valley of the Shadow and to learn the art of building Astral</p>
Bridges.</p>
</p>
WHAT IS AN ASTRAL BRIDGE?</p>
</p>
In the above story of the two mountains, our wishful climber could surely</p>
benefit from some form of Connection, spanning peak to peak, which would</p>
allow him to avoid having to go down his mountain and through the Valley to</p>
get to the other side. If he knew about his Divine Multidimensional Nature,</p>
and had knowledge of how to build an Astral Bridge, his problems would be</p>
solved.</p>
Many of you may remember a film that was released several years ago called</p>
"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." In the latter part of this film,the</p>
hero found himself high upon a mountain, very similar to the peak mentioned</p>
in our story. Indy's problem in the film was complicated by the fact that</p>
he was being pursued, and he faced impending physical danger. All the more</p>
reason for him to quickly get across to the other peak! At a key point in</p>
the pursuit, he placed his foot upon what *appeared to be* empty air, and a</p>
bridge instantly appeared right under his feet. Upon seeing this, he ran</p>
across the bridge to safety.</p>
In another famous film, "The Matrix," released only a couple of years</p>
ago,one of the heroes demonstrated a mastery of physical force, using what</p>
was</p>
called a "Jump Program," which enabled him to leap across a huge expanse of</p>
physical space, moving freely from one high building to another. Even</p>
characters in the film exclaimed "Whoa! That's impossible."</p>
An Astral Bridge begins as an Etheric Connector which brings together two</p>
points in physical space which appear to be separated by a gap. The Bridge</p>
itself originates somewhere else in the Multiverse---performing a clear</p>
purpose within an alternative level of here and now. Through a process we</p>
shall explain shortly, a perceptual cursor is passed over the image, and it</p>
is highlighted and copied (to use familiar computer terms) to a place where</p>
it is desperately needed.</p>
At the moment of its transposition, an Astral Bridge is constructed almost</p>
entirely of faith. It has been written that "faith is the substance of</p>
things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." People don't believe in</p>
things because they appear. Things appear in physical space because people</p>
believe in them. So it is with an Astral Bridge. At the moment it is</p>
required, the Bridge gets pasted directly into your NOW.........in a process</p>
that only could be described as miraculous........even though it often</p>
appears to be a natural part of your flow.</p>
</p>
HOW MANIFESTATION OCCURS</p>
</p>
As we mentioned in Trans-Portals 1 and 2, the key to travel within the</p>
Multiverse is found in a person's ability to detach himself from his current</p>
surroundings, by finding a state of neutrality, so that he can journey</p>
anywhere else he wishes to go. What keeps you all trapped in your current</p>
3D context is your continuous *clinging* to outcomes (cause and effect</p>
relationships) that you imagine are in operation there. My Dear Friends,</p>
this is ILLUSION.</p>
When something manifests in your 3D world, it arrives because you *called</p>
for it* with your mind and heart. It makes little difference whether your</p>
call was a conscious one, or whether it was something that was issued from</p>
beneath your Veil of Forgetfulness. It came from you, and you need to own</p>
that before you can break free from its influence. Those who have trouble</p>
with this concept may need to circle back and do some Creative Shadow Work,</p>
as we mentioned a bit earlier in this transmission.</p>
</p>
Basically..... a successful "call" for reality manifestation involves (at</p>
least) two elements:</p>
1. A clear statement of belief or intent, spoken or held in a positive</p>
way........followed immediately by........</p>
2. A complete release of the outcome into the hands of the Expanded Self.</p>
</p>
A person doesn't manifest his or her world out of nothing. Rather, each of</p>
you forms your personal reality from the *everything,* which exists all</p>
around you. In order to make something physical, you simply focus upon</p>
it.....(which slows down the vibration sufficiently for it to solidify), and</p>
then you install Perceptual Veils around it, to block out the awareness of</p>
everything else that is there. This is your own perceptual equivalent of</p>
putting blinders on a horse.</p>
As you begin your process of focusing, you must clearly realize how the</p>
creative element of your mind works. The explanation we are going to make</p>
for you now is a linear one, because you are currently operating within a</p>
linear reality base. Please realize that you have the power to change the</p>
order or the rules of this process at any time.</p>
Like the printer on a computer, which faithfully stacks and programs its</p>
activity based upon keys hit by the operator, your very own Creative</p>
Manifesting Mind begins printing out reality based upon statements which</p>
you, yourself, hold to be true. Even though your statement is uttered only</p>
within your own mind, and is held for just one second, it has absolute power</p>
to form your world. And it frequently does!</p>
Your affirmative statements, especially when accompanied by true desire and</p>
passion, are like Genies from a bottle, granting you everything you could</p>
ever wish for. As one Dear Entity once phrased it: "The universe</p>
rearranges itself according to your beliefs about what is real." It does</p>
this through your own declarations of *what is,* not through declarations of</p>
*what is not.*</p>
The programming software in your Creative, Manifesting Mind *does not*</p>
recognize or respond to words like "no," "not," "don't," or "can't." It</p>
automatically eliminates them from your command line. Therefore, whenever a</p>
person declares, within himself: "I don't want to smoke" or "I am not</p>
going to be angry today," the Creative Manifesting Mind hears (and responds</p>
to) an affirmative version of those statements. What it hears is: "I do</p>
want to smoke," and "I am going to be angry today."</p>
You must realize that physical reality is created from FOCUS. If you are</p>
constantly focusing upon what you *don't want," rather than on what you *do</p>
want,* your manifestation power will tend follow that focus. The locus of</p>
power in a Call to Manifest is located between the subject and the desired</p>
or declared) action or outcome. The commands are stacked and prioritized in</p>
your printer, according to the following factors:</p>
1. The "Level" of Self that is making the command (The more Expanded</p>
Aspects of you get the most clout when it comes to ordering up your</p>
manifestations)</p>
2. The Desire, Intensity, and Clarity behind the declaration.</p>
3. The Order of Command Presentation to the Creative Mechanism.</p>
If the desire and intensity of command lines are equal, and they all come</p>
from the same level of Self, the manifestations will print out according to</p>
the order in which the commands were made. Indeed, this is a very 3D</p>
explanation, and we realize that. However, it absolutely works, as long as</p>
you are still operating within a 3D format. If a command line comes in from</p>
"outside the box" (from your Expanded Self), it will automatically hold</p>
precedence over commands that are presented from the Ego Aspect. In other</p>
words, it gets to crowd ahead of you in the cafeteria line. But the Ego</p>
still has creative power, as all aspects of you have divinity.</p>
Statements of similar velocity, which are contradictory, tend to cancel each</p>
other out. Their expression is like a husband and wife who go together to</p>
vote in a public election. He votes republican and she votes democratic.In</p>
truth, the 3D effect produced is no different than if they would have stayed</p>
home (except for the satisfaction they receive from exercising their</p>
options). In the same way, your inner consciousness frequently entertains</p>
divergent points of view. At times, many aspects of you can be barking</p>
contradictory commands with virtually the same intensity. If this</p>
occurs,your printer gets jammed, and you may end up having to reboot!</p>
</p>
LETTING IT HAPPEN</p>
</p>
When using Trans-Portals, either for personal travel or to take delivery on</p>
key aspects of your current reality, it is crucial that you learn to *let go</p>
of the process* after you have clearly issued the command line. In</p>
essence,the Trans-Portal System in the Multiverse functions very similar to</p>
the</p>
digestive tract in the human body. After materials and energy are</p>
introduced into the system, you need to relax and allow the mechanism to do</p>
its job. You must let go of your focus *entirely,* and go busy yourself</p>
with something else.</p>
Clearly making a statement of desire and intent leaves an etheric impression</p>
in the "reality bubble" of a person's existence. It registers, whether he</p>
is aware of it or not. An order gets introduced. As long as a "cancel</p>
order" is not sent in after it, the Creative Mechanism (the internal search</p>
engine) will begin collating results and alternatives to meet the command.</p>
Following a command statement with an attitude of *complete release and</p>
confidence* (in other words......with faith)...... pulls the Ego of the</p>
operator away from the keyboard, for reassignment elsewhere.</p>
Energetically,this produces a backdraft of energy (a vacuum) which</p>
accelerates the</p>
"digestion" process and speeds up delivery. In essence, your attitude of</p>
trust actually *sucks* your order through the pipeline more quickly, drawing</p>
to you whatever it is that you desire.</p>
To place an order, and then to stew over it, creates an attitude of doubt in</p>
your creative ability. It's like sitting down to eat with 20 people</p>
watching your every bite. After awhile, you begin to get a lump in your</p>
stomach. The digestive juices become inhibited, and the whole system slows</p>
down. It is no different with Trans-Portals. Your desires and commands are</p>
transmitted organically, and your physical body (especially your nervous</p>
system) is very much involved in the process.</p>
</p>
BUILDING ASTRAL BRIDGES</p>
</p>
Now that we have briefly explained the process of everyday manifestation, we</p>
will teach you how this applies to Astral Bridges. As we have said, the</p>
need for a Bridge involves the presence of a GAP that exists between two or</p>
more objects (or individuals) in physical space. This can either be a</p>
physical distance, or it can be a relationship impasse that has</p>
formed,keeping folks from understanding and integrating with each other.</p>
The need to get from "here to there" in 3D arises from a belief in and</p>
support of a paradigm of Separation. The Valley of the Shadow represents</p>
all the reasons why the Separation formed in the first place. When this</p>
situation involves people separating themselves from other people, the</p>
Shadow Effect is created because there are aspects of your "other" that you</p>
have difficulty accepting as self. Until now, your focus in Reconnection</p>
has been to examine this other person, and mentally analyze what it is about</p>
this person that you have been denying in yourself. And this is all very</p>
good. It feeds your consciousness, and expands awareness. But there is</p>
more to full integration than that.</p>
The reason you find it hard to "digest" certain types of people into your</p>
Oneself Body stems not from what exists in that person, but what is missing</p>
in you. We call your attention back to our analogy of Trans-Portals being</p>
similar to the human digestive system. When people demonstrate an "allergy"</p>
to certain foods, it usually stems from some *processing element* (like an</p>
enzyme, for example) that is missing from their digestive process. For some</p>
reason, their body doesn't create that chemical, and the whole process</p>
suffers because of it. Despite their best attempts to prepare the offending</p>
foods properly, with style and variation, the digestive system continues to</p>
have problems until the necessary supplement gets added to the process.</p>
Not all the people and situations you encounter in physical space are meant</p>
to become permanent parts of your life. Sometimes, they simply appear as</p>
catalysts for you to reach into your Multidimensional Self and discover new</p>
qualities or elements that you have forgotten. And, during a time of</p>
conflict, your task of integration and acceptance may not always be focused</p>
upon the person who is irritating you. That may only be incidental to the</p>
bigger picture.</p>
You must remember that both you and the people with whom you have conflicts</p>
are Multidimensional Beings. If you are having a dance with someone in</p>
current 3D reality, you can count on the fact that there are dances going on</p>
between you all up and down the vibrational spectrum---literally involving a</p>
whole spreadsheet of possible/probable contacts--many of which are quite</p>
pleasant.</p>
The resolution of present-moment conflict with another person (or</p>
society,for that matter) is brought about by opening a Portal between the</p>
physical aspect of you that exists *here* and an alternative aspect of you</p>
that exists *elsewhere*---particularly an aspect that is currently enjoying</p>
harmonious contact with the very same type of energy which is giving you</p>
such heartburn in this current moment.</p>
My Friends, if it were possible for you to analyze the energy "chemistry" of</p>
the version of you that exists HERE, and the alternative version of yourself</p>
that is functioning THERE, you would notice that one or more key elements</p>
are missing. To remedy this, an Astral Bridge is formed by taking a "soul</p>
sample" of that alternative self and infusing it into yourself here. This</p>
is all done in just the ways we outlined for you above.</p>
Once the required "energy supplement" gets added to your digestive</p>
system,you will find that the whole TONE of your current relationships begin</p>
to</p>
change. And, it happens automatically, without conscious effort or</p>
struggle. The only thing you require is a clear statement of intent (which</p>
would be blending with a more Expanded Level of Yourself), and the faith</p>
that is required to bring it all about.</p>
With all of this in mind, the process for Building Astral Bridges in a</p>
relationship would be as follows:</p>
1. Notice the exact SENSE of dissonance that exists. Many people are not</p>
aware of their sensory impressions, or of any hard feelings that exist</p>
between themselves and others. The same is true with allergic foods.Because</p>
you aren't aware of what is happening, you keep eating the offending foods,</p>
and you keep Shadow Boxing in your current relationships, rather than</p>
calling for the necessary "medicine" to complete your process, so your</p>
systems can begin to function at a new level.</p>
2. Notice how you FEEL when you are in the presence of your "other." How</p>
does your body react when he or she approaches you? This is very important</p>
information if you are going to command a "search engine" to locate an</p>
alternative version of you that can assist in the integration process.</p>
***A Key Principle: The first step toward feeling better is becoming better</p>
at feeling.</p>
3. Ask yourself what you WANT to be different in this relationship. When</p>
you do this please *do not* concern yourself with whether or not the change</p>
would be possible. Anything is possible if you can believe.</p>
4. Make a clear statement of intent, asking your Multidimensional Self to</p>
help you find a "Guide" that possesses the "medicine" which you require. A</p>
statement that might serve the process might be:</p>
"I am Stephen, of the Oneself. I am seeking to contact a level of my</p>
Multidimensional Self that is now enjoying a harmonious relationship with</p>
this energy currently mirrored to me in Fred. I wish to begin a blending, a</p>
sampling of energies with that Self, so that I may be transformed---so that</p>
I may be let go of all resistance to accept Fred as a valid and beautiful</p>
part of my universe. In faith, I believe. In perfect timing, I shall</p>
receive. So let it be."</p>
(The wording will come to you when you are ready. These are not established</p>
formulas, but simply samples of what is possible if you are ready to move</p>
into this process)</p>
5. Turn the outcome completely over to the universe. If the offending</p>
individual tries to engage you in debate, deep discussion, or argument, you</p>
can say to him (as politely as possible) "I am unable to discuss this with</p>
you now, but I will get back to you as soon as I can." Then, forget about</p>
it. Involve yourself with other tasks. Do not analyze it further, and do</p>
not approach the person (unless you must, in order to handle necessary</p>
business together) as long as there is any remnant of dissonance</p>
remaining.Your sense of continued discomfort is your indicator that the</p>
required "enzyme" has not yet spread itself throughout your system. And</p>
your relief from same will be your barometer concerning when you have had</p>
enough of this particular medicine.</p>
If two individuals in a relationship space are performing this alchemical</p>
process together, it can be Onederful, but only one "operator" is really</p>
required. That is because there is only one of you there anyway! When your</p>
"digestion" processes begin to change, you will be amazed at how your own</p>
perception of this person begins to shift. It will be like gazing at a</p>
hologram in a painting. The picture looks a certain way in one moment, and</p>
it changes completely in the next. Realize now that this is due, almost</p>
entirely, to energetic changes that have occurred in you.</p>
Reconnection to Oneness involves making contact, first and foremost, with</p>
your Expanded Self, with your own "Big Story." Only then will your "small</p>
story" sub-plots begin reflecting the harmony that is your birthright. As</p>
the Psalm clearly states: "Yea, though I walk through the Valley of the</p>
Shadow..........I will fear no evil.......for thou art with me." In these</p>
powerful days of Phase Shifting and Alchemical Blending, the Expanded</p>
Oneself is not just with you.......He/She/We are *within you* as well. You</p>
will be rapidly developing your own functional immunity to the many</p>
energetic "diseases" that have troubled your soul during this outgoing</p>
Paradigm of Separation. In fact, the very word "immune" almost brings to</p>
mind the words "I AM IN YOU," does it not? And so it is becoming, My</p>
Friends.</p>
</p>
STANDING ON A MOUNTAIN TOP</p>
</p>
It is the privilege of The Reconnections to "fill in all the gaps" that</p>
separate your Limitation Self from your Expanded Self. We do it slowly,and</p>
with much love. There is no need to rush. You have all the time in the</p>
world. Each of you came to this place from realms of expression that</p>
were nothing less than fantastic. In your "former estate," you were able to</p>
do or have anything you wished, just by thinking it. Being natives of such</p>
splendor, you yearned for a vacation, of sorts. You wanted to know what it</p>
would be like to embody *something* rather than to be *everything.* You</p>
wanted to distinguish yourself from others, from various objects and</p>
animals, and you wanted to learn what it feels like to need.</p>
Soon your research project will be completed. Has this form of reality</p>
gotten your goat? Never fear, he's right up there.......perched upon that</p>
mountain top. Watch him as he leaps from peak to peak, with perfect grace,</p>
perfect ease. Travel freely the Bridges Across Forever!</p>
There are Portals, Gates, Bridges, and Inner Pathways all around</p>
you.......each volume on a bookshelf, each picture that is hanging on the</p>
wall. Words can be a Portal, a statue can be one, or even a rose. An</p>
encounter with any symbol can be a spark of remembrance, leading you through</p>
a perceptual doorway---into a limitless storehouse of possible/probable</p>
versions of that same one thing. Connect two of them, or three, or</p>
four.........and the dance goes on into infinity.</p>
Some of you will begin to perceive immediately, with no help. Others may</p>
need to initiate visualization or meditation processes to tap into their</p>
stored memories. All you need do is drop your shields, and the guiding</p>
energy will begin to open your eyes. Some will do it sooner, others will do</p>
it later. Each person to his own plan, and his own style of unfoldment. As</p>
we have said previously, each event is its own miracle. However, some</p>
people require more "nudges" than others in order to shake off their</p>
slumber.</p>
Remember that everything is perfect, and everything is there, filed neatly</p>
within the Multiverse. The primary purpose of your physical journey is to</p>
explore details, and make alchemical adjustments before you make the leap to</p>
more expanded realms. As always, we shall be available to you on the inner</p>
planes. Look for us there, and we shall appear to you in whatever form you</p>
require.</p>
Stay present, stay open, and you shall always stay free.</p>

</p>
"TRANS-PORTALS 3: BUILDING ASTRAL BRIDGES"</p>
</p>
My Dear Friends,</p>
There is much interest and excitement around this experience, known as</p>
Astral Travel---connections, remembrances, focused intent---all of which</p>
truly have power to provide for you an instant interface with the</p>
Multidimensional Self. We have been offering you this information in</p>
layers, so to speak, so that your consciousness can upgrade itself</p>
naturally---and in total conformity with the itinerary which you,</p>
yourself,laid down when you began your human existence. Each tone, each</p>
idea we provide, will produce its own special "journey" within. And there</p>
is no need for you to miss a single one!</p>
Welcome aboard The Multidimensional Ship! Its observation deck is your</p>
entire perceptual reality. And it is now in motion. YOU are now in</p>
motion.If you only realized how fast you were going, you would probably feel</p>
a bit ill. In truth, many of you are currently experiencing signs and</p>
symptoms of what we call Global Acceleration Syndrome. We provide this</p>
title to honor</p>
your medical paradigm, even though it is not any kind of official medical</p>
diagnosis. Muscle aches and pains, lethargy, fatigue, spacey-ness, panic</p>
attacks, depression, insomnia, memory-loss, confusion---these are just a few</p>
of the uncomfortable side-effects produced by the incredible velocity at</p>
which you are traveling.</p>
Your world appears to continue as it always has because YOUR MIND requires</p>
this in order to keep from flying apart. Your anxiety and hesitancies are</p>
the same feelings shared by those who sailed with Columbus. Bound for a new</p>
world, they trembled as they sailed, believing their world to be flat. Even</p>
so....... many of you also tremble---certain that you may "go over the edge"</p>
at any moment!</p>
If you can receive assistance by a health care professional, and your inner</p>
guidance affirms this course of action, we encourage you to do so.</p>
However,if everything you try seems empty and useless......be strong! Be</p>
patient.</p>
Deliverance is soon at hand. The journey has begun, and there are wonders</p>
ahead, and beauty beyond imagining. The travails of childbirth are many,</p>
but the prize that follows far outweighs the pain. Believe this, receive</p>
it, and your anxious heart will slowly learn to find rest.</p>
</p>
INSIDE THE SHIP</p>
</p>
Spaceship Earth is a Holographic Being. Structurally, it is like a gift box</p>
that some imaginative person sends you for Christmas. When you remove the</p>
lid, you find a slightly smaller box, fully wrapped---just like the first</p>
one, containing another (even smaller) box, which contains yet another, and</p>
another, and another.........all the way down to your one-celled creatures.</p>
Each "level" of your Ship contains all of the basic elements of every other</p>
"level." Some of the features are minimized, in certain aspects, so that</p>
others can be maximized and focused upon. But it's all there! And it's all</p>
synchronized, like moving parts in a pocket watch. It all blends together</p>
beautifully.</p>
You have been packing for this journey for quite sometime now. Around the</p>
planet there has formed a band of energy---several concentric bands, in</p>
fact. The one of which we speak is electromagnetic in nature. It contains</p>
diagrams, spreadsheets, poetry, tables of elements, fragments of speech,</p>
music, data, archives of human history, bits of TV shows, radio broadcasts,</p>
faxes, motion pictures, cell-phone conversations, digital art, and much more</p>
besides. When you prepared for this particular journey, you knew you had to</p>
pack LIGHT.......because you knew that was the only thing that could go! We</p>
are speaking here of your Earth Essence Timeless Capsule.</p>
This "Level" of the Planetary Ship is connected to and modulated by sacred</p>
powerspots all over the planet. It is, literally, an ARC of</p>
Energy..........not unlike that other Ark which was built by Noah, so long</p>
ago. Within it, you have placed the best of you---your creations, your</p>
memories, your very lives! However, be advised. Entry onto The Arc is not</p>
made two-by-two. This "level" of the Oneself is leaving duality behind.Each</p>
individual must pass through what is called the "Eye of the Needle," as a</p>
Unified Oneself, in order to come aboard.</p>
Meanwhile, back on the "hard deck," a good portion of humanity is determined</p>
to stay the course, fully in denial---apparently choosing to "play it cool"</p>
all the way through the Fourth Dimensional Corridor. Now *that* should make</p>
quite a picture, indeed.</p>
But you, Dear Ones....... you need not suffer any longer with this</p>
illusion.Everything you have felt within---the many surges and flashes of</p>
energy up and down your spine---are quite real. They are transmutative</p>
jump-starts</p>
for new and important programs that have been installed in your</p>
consciousness. Soon, all your new perceptual software will come completely</p>
online. And then, the fun begins! A very wise man once said: "Don't</p>
compare your insides with other people's outsides." We underscore this</p>
message whole-heartedly. You are not crazy, and you are not falling</p>
apart.It just occasionally feels that way. In fact, you are really falling</p>
together! So let it be.</p>
</p>
MORE ABOUT THE PORTALS</p>
</p>
There is no one present upon Planet Earth at this time who is not regularly</p>
traversing Energy Gates and Portals. Some are very aware of it, and even</p>
relish the idea. Others are quite disturbed, because the experiences are</p>
not exactly what they had planned, or seem beyond their immediate</p>
understanding and control. Still others have found effective ways to</p>
insulate themselves almost entirely from this knowledge---which serves a</p>
purpose, albeit a temporary one. Soon all humanity will be speaking</p>
fluently about Trans-Portals, though they may be called by many</p>
names.Indeed, these Energy Gates will soon form a good deal of the</p>
conceptual framework for your upcoming human journey.</p>
We are The Reconnections. We are all those parts of your Expanded Self</p>
which you had to forget about when you came into physical form. We've never</p>
been very far from you, just far enough. If there is something that you</p>
currently believe about yourself, we make up *everything else* that you</p>
could also believe. If there is something that you deny about yourself, we</p>
form a repository for that energy until you feel ready to take it up</p>
again.Endless variety, endless ability.........all neatly catalogued for</p>
your use</p>
at any time or place. If something is not present *within* you, then it is</p>
being stored here, *within* us. This is because, in Oneness, there really</p>
is no such thing as "out." All doorways are marked "enter," and all</p>
pathways lead directly home.</p>
</p>
MEETING YOUR OPPOSITION</p>
</p>
Before a person can successfully fight a battle, he must define who the</p>
enemy is. Though we have frequently reminded you that everything is a</p>
reflection of self, you must realize that there are aspects of that "self"</p>
that have been created to oppose you, as grounding elements, or for</p>
educational purposes. As you will see later in this</p>
transmission,identifying and meeting your opposition is crucial to your next</p>
levels of</p>
unfoldment.</p>
Every birthing process involves both expansion and contraction. One part of</p>
the body pushes forward, while other parts resist. This is your dance of</p>
positive and negative energy. It is rapidly becoming impossible for a</p>
person to achieve enduring success without making contact with the "rest"</p>
of who he is. We are speaking now of the Multidimensional Self. There is</p>
much more to any situation than meets your physical eye. In truth, the</p>
puppets that currently dance in the theater of the physical are manipulated</p>
by strings being held by unseen hands. Every dance, every drama that is</p>
being enacted here, is designed to teach you more and more about those</p>
unseen forces.</p>
Relationship conflicts, financial difficulties, and political upheavals are</p>
perfect venues for a reconnecting soul to learn how to identify with *all</p>
sides* of any question. It is only when you are able to lift yourself out</p>
of a polarized state, into The Oneself, that you become able to access the</p>
necessary elements which will turn the tide for whatever physical challenge</p>
that is before you.</p>
Many people today are desperately looking for peace and safety. If</p>
something seems to be thwarting their goals, or irritating their status</p>
quo,they want to deal with it, so they can bring about a rapid resolution.</p>
They will choose to fight, or to negotiate---whichever seems most effective</p>
in the moment---and then they want to be able to return to "business as</p>
usual."</p>
But Friends, business can never be "usual" again. And any attempt on your</p>
parts to make it so will simply result in deeper and more complicated</p>
upheavals. The "box" in which you have all been living is being heated up</p>
from the outside. Aspects of your Expanded Self are stirring things up</p>
energetically so that you will be forced to look *outside of the physical</p>
world* in order to understand what has been creating your reality all along.</p>
</p>
THE ASTRAL PLANE</p>
</p>
Beyond the borders of your physical world, there are levels of consciousness</p>
that vibrate so rapidly that their purpose and presence often escapes the</p>
notice of those who are living and functioning in 3D. The Astral Plane</p>
contains beings that are either moving toward or away from physical density,</p>
yet which often have considerable influence over what is explored there at</p>
any given time.</p>
If you were to equate levels of human consciousness to keys on a piano, you</p>
would find that each "note" or tone represents one of the energy centers</p>
(chakras) functioning within, for example, your human body. You begin your</p>
tonal scale with "do," which is the first (root) chakra of that body, and</p>
you move up.......through "re" (the second chakra), mi (the third</p>
chakra),and so on..........all the way up to "ti," (the crown chakra) where</p>
you find yourself ready to begin playing again at a new octave. The Astral</p>
Plane begins the gateway into the next octaves of your conscious experience.</p>
</p>
Those who have made serious studies into ethereal reality tend to be</p>
somewhat negative in their attitude towards the Astral Plane. Many think of</p>
it as an etheric "junk yard," wherein divergent and confused energies wander</p>
aimlessly, trying to make sense of where they are, and how they came to be</p>
there. But these judgments are usually drawn by those who have already</p>
committed themselves to something. They forget how blissful it can be to</p>
simply window shop, to consider, and to resonate with several potential</p>
realities at once.</p>
Beyond the Astral Plane exists the Reconnected Oneself. Whereas the Astral</p>
is made up of consciousness that thinks or believes it nows</p>
things..........the Unified Oneself is the part of you which absolutely</p>
knows. It KNOWS because it contains all possible levels of every possible</p>
situation or interaction.</p>
When a person is finished with window shopping---having sufficiently</p>
explored all the possibilities---he or she will begin Reconnecting to</p>
Oneness. This is a process that can only be accomplished while that person</p>
is still present in physical form. In order to do it, he must be willing to</p>
forego all his mental ponderings, judgments, and emotional reactivity that</p>
makes up most of the drama in your everyday life. He must find a way to go</p>
above it, or perhaps to tunnel under it, connecting directly to the</p>
Universal Touchstone of Oneness with everything and everyone. When contact</p>
with that level of being is reached, all of his attachments and bondage to</p>
earthly outcome are erased. At that point, anything becomes possible.</p>
</p>
THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW</p>
</p>
Consider for a moment the image of a strong man,standing on a mountain peak,</p>
high above the Earth. Through the mist that surrounds his mountain,</p>
the man sees a second peak, directly across the valley. The thought enters</p>
his mind that he would like to experience that other peak, but there is way</p>
too much valley between the two. If he chose, the man could climb down from</p>
his mountain, travel through the valley, which seems rather dark and</p>
foreboding, and climb up the mountain on the other side. The mere thought</p>
of moving through that shadowy void, however, makes the whole prospect seem</p>
fearsome and impossible.</p>
The primary obstacle which blocks the attainment of this man's desire is the</p>
separation which he perceives between the two mountains. There seems to be</p>
just too big a gap for him to leap across. In many ways, this "gap" is at</p>
the root of nearly all problems which arise today in 3D reality.</p>
Change the scene. Two men meet together in a public park. One of them says</p>
or does something which deeply offends the other, and a shouting match</p>
occurs. The topic could be politics, religion, finances, or romance. It</p>
usually does not matter. This encounter is a programmed response, anyway.</p>
As each continues to speak his mind, the "gap" between them grows deeper and</p>
wider. Resentment, hatred, and disdain now exist where once there could</p>
have been trust and goodwill.</p>
Both of these men are Multidimensional. They are jewels with many</p>
facets.Each of them have selves that live high, on the mountain top, and</p>
each of them has variations of selves that live deep down in the Valley as</p>
well. In the Valley there are horrors galore---guilt, shame, and anger that</p>
never</p>
seems to be satisfied. What creates a shadow is some object or person that</p>
stands between a reflecting surface and the light. In the language of</p>
metaphor, your shadow is the part of your own self that is hidden from you</p>
because you are standing in your own way.</p>
What each man in the above story is reacting to is his own Shadow</p>
Reflection, seen in the face of the other. We have spoken about this</p>
principle at length in our transmission entitled "Relationships: A Time for</p>
Healing." For many years, this process of Creative Shadow Work has</p>
provided your planet with tools to complete certain alchemical changes that</p>
are required for the Reconnection of your Mental Body. Now it is time for</p>
you to begin penetration into your Emotional Body. It is time for you to</p>
leave the Valley of the Shadow and to learn the art of building Astral</p>
Bridges.</p>
</p>
WHAT IS AN ASTRAL BRIDGE?</p>
</p>
In the above story of the two mountains, our wishful climber could surely</p>
benefit from some form of Connection, spanning peak to peak, which would</p>
allow him to avoid having to go down his mountain and through the Valley to</p>
get to the other side. If he knew about his Divine Multidimensional Nature,</p>
and had knowledge of how to build an Astral Bridge, his problems would be</p>
solved.</p>
Many of you may remember a film that was released several years ago called</p>
"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." In the latter part of this film,the</p>
hero found himself high upon a mountain, very similar to the peak mentioned</p>
in our story. Indy's problem in the film was complicated by the fact that</p>
he was being pursued, and he faced impending physical danger. All the more</p>
reason for him to quickly get across to the other peak! At a key point in</p>
the pursuit, he placed his foot upon what *appeared to be* empty air, and a</p>
bridge instantly appeared right under his feet. Upon seeing this, he ran</p>
across the bridge to safety.</p>
In another famous film, "The Matrix," released only a couple of years</p>
ago,one of the heroes demonstrated a mastery of physical force, using what</p>
was</p>
called a "Jump Program," which enabled him to leap across a huge expanse of</p>
physical space, moving freely from one high building to another. Even</p>
characters in the film exclaimed "Whoa! That's impossible."</p>
An Astral Bridge begins as an Etheric Connector which brings together two</p>
points in physical space which appear to be separated by a gap. The Bridge</p>
itself originates somewhere else in the Multiverse---performing a clear</p>
purpose within an alternative level of here and now. Through a process we</p>
shall explain shortly, a perceptual cursor is passed over the image, and it</p>
is highlighted and copied (to use familiar computer terms) to a place where</p>
it is desperately needed.</p>
At the moment of its transposition, an Astral Bridge is constructed almost</p>
entirely of faith. It has been written that "faith is the substance of</p>
things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." People don't believe in</p>
things because they appear. Things appear in physical space because people</p>
believe in them. So it is with an Astral Bridge. At the moment it is</p>
required, the Bridge gets pasted directly into your NOW.........in a process</p>
that only could be described as miraculous........even though it often</p>
appears to be a natural part of your flow.</p>
</p>
HOW MANIFESTATION OCCURS</p>
</p>
As we mentioned in Trans-Portals 1 and 2, the key to travel within the</p>
Multiverse is found in a person's ability to detach himself from his current</p>
surroundings, by finding a state of neutrality, so that he can journey</p>
anywhere else he wishes to go. What keeps you all trapped in your current</p>
3D context is your continuous *clinging* to outcomes (cause and effect</p>
relationships) that you imagine are in operation there. My Dear Friends,</p>
this is ILLUSION.</p>
When something manifests in your 3D world, it arrives because you *called</p>
for it* with your mind and heart. It makes little difference whether your</p>
call was a conscious one, or whether it was something that was issued from</p>
beneath your Veil of Forgetfulness. It came from you, and you need to own</p>
that before you can break free from its influence. Those who have trouble</p>
with this concept may need to circle back and do some Creative Shadow Work,</p>
as we mentioned a bit earlier in this transmission.</p>
</p>
Basically..... a successful "call" for reality manifestation involves (at</p>
least) two elements:</p>
1. A clear statement of belief or intent, spoken or held in a positive</p>
way........followed immediately by........</p>
2. A complete release of the outcome into the hands of the Expanded Self.</p>
</p>
A person doesn't manifest his or her world out of nothing. Rather, each of</p>
you forms your personal reality from the *everything,* which exists all</p>
around you. In order to make something physical, you simply focus upon</p>
it.....(which slows down the vibration sufficiently for it to solidify), and</p>
then you install Perceptual Veils around it, to block out the awareness of</p>
everything else that is there. This is your own perceptual equivalent of</p>
putting blinders on a horse.</p>
As you begin your process of focusing, you must clearly realize how the</p>
creative element of your mind works. The explanation we are going to make</p>
for you now is a linear one, because you are currently operating within a</p>
linear reality base. Please realize that you have the power to change the</p>
order or the rules of this process at any time.</p>
Like the printer on a computer, which faithfully stacks and programs its</p>
activity based upon keys hit by the operator, your very own Creative</p>
Manifesting Mind begins printing out reality based upon statements which</p>
you, yourself, hold to be true. Even though your statement is uttered only</p>
within your own mind, and is held for just one second, it has absolute power</p>
to form your world. And it frequently does!</p>
Your affirmative statements, especially when accompanied by true desire and</p>
passion, are like Genies from a bottle, granting you everything you could</p>
ever wish for. As one Dear Entity once phrased it: "The universe</p>
rearranges itself according to your beliefs about what is real." It does</p>
this through your own declarations of *what is,* not through declarations of</p>
*what is not.*</p>
The programming software in your Creative, Manifesting Mind *does not*</p>
recognize or respond to words like "no," "not," "don't," or "can't." It</p>
automatically eliminates them from your command line. Therefore, whenever a</p>
person declares, within himself: "I don't want to smoke" or "I am not</p>
going to be angry today," the Creative Manifesting Mind hears (and responds</p>
to) an affirmative version of those statements. What it hears is: "I do</p>
want to smoke," and "I am going to be angry today."</p>
You must realize that physical reality is created from FOCUS. If you are</p>
constantly focusing upon what you *don't want," rather than on what you *do</p>
want,* your manifestation power will tend follow that focus. The locus of</p>
power in a Call to Manifest is located between the subject and the desired</p>
or declared) action or outcome. The commands are stacked and prioritized in</p>
your printer, according to the following factors:</p>
1. The "Level" of Self that is making the command (The more Expanded</p>
Aspects of you get the most clout when it comes to ordering up your</p>
manifestations)</p>
2. The Desire, Intensity, and Clarity behind the declaration.</p>
3. The Order of Command Presentation to the Creative Mechanism.</p>
If the desire and intensity of command lines are equal, and they all come</p>
from the same level of Self, the manifestations will print out according to</p>
the order in which the commands were made. Indeed, this is a very 3D</p>
explanation, and we realize that. However, it absolutely works, as long as</p>
you are still operating within a 3D format. If a command line comes in from</p>
"outside the box" (from your Expanded Self), it will automatically hold</p>
precedence over commands that are presented from the Ego Aspect. In other</p>
words, it gets to crowd ahead of you in the cafeteria line. But the Ego</p>
still has creative power, as all aspects of you have divinity.</p>
Statements of similar velocity, which are contradictory, tend to cancel each</p>
other out. Their expression is like a husband and wife who go together to</p>
vote in a public election. He votes republican and she votes democratic.In</p>
truth, the 3D effect produced is no different than if they would have stayed</p>
home (except for the satisfaction they receive from exercising their</p>
options). In the same way, your inner consciousness frequently entertains</p>
divergent points of view. At times, many aspects of you can be barking</p>
contradictory commands with virtually the same intensity. If this</p>
occurs,your printer gets jammed, and you may end up having to reboot!</p>
</p>
LETTING IT HAPPEN</p>
</p>
When using Trans-Portals, either for personal travel or to take delivery on</p>
key aspects of your current reality, it is crucial that you learn to *let go</p>
of the process* after you have clearly issued the command line. In</p>
essence,the Trans-Portal System in the Multiverse functions very similar to</p>
the</p>
digestive tract in the human body. After materials and energy are</p>
introduced into the system, you need to relax and allow the mechanism to do</p>
its job. You must let go of your focus *entirely,* and go busy yourself</p>
with something else.</p>
Clearly making a statement of desire and intent leaves an etheric impression</p>
in the "reality bubble" of a person's existence. It registers, whether he</p>
is aware of it or not. An order gets introduced. As long as a "cancel</p>
order" is not sent in after it, the Creative Mechanism (the internal search</p>
engine) will begin collating results and alternatives to meet the command.</p>
Following a command statement with an attitude of *complete release and</p>
confidence* (in other words......with faith)...... pulls the Ego of the</p>
operator away from the keyboard, for reassignment elsewhere.</p>
Energetically,this produces a backdraft of energy (a vacuum) which</p>
accelerates the</p>
"digestion" process and speeds up delivery. In essence, your attitude of</p>
trust actually *sucks* your order through the pipeline more quickly, drawing</p>
to you whatever it is that you desire.</p>
To place an order, and then to stew over it, creates an attitude of doubt in</p>
your creative ability. It's like sitting down to eat with 20 people</p>
watching your every bite. After awhile, you begin to get a lump in your</p>
stomach. The digestive juices become inhibited, and the whole system slows</p>
down. It is no different with Trans-Portals. Your desires and commands are</p>
transmitted organically, and your physical body (especially your nervous</p>
system) is very much involved in the process.</p>
</p>
BUILDING ASTRAL BRIDGES</p>
</p>
Now that we have briefly explained the process of everyday manifestation, we</p>
will teach you how this applies to Astral Bridges. As we have said, the</p>
need for a Bridge involves the presence of a GAP that exists between two or</p>
more objects (or individuals) in physical space. This can either be a</p>
physical distance, or it can be a relationship impasse that has</p>
formed,keeping folks from understanding and integrating with each other.</p>
The need to get from "here to there" in 3D arises from a belief in and</p>
support of a paradigm of Separation. The Valley of the Shadow represents</p>
all the reasons why the Separation formed in the first place. When this</p>
situation involves people separating themselves from other people, the</p>
Shadow Effect is created because there are aspects of your "other" that you</p>
have difficulty accepting as self. Until now, your focus in Reconnection</p>
has been to examine this other person, and mentally analyze what it is about</p>
this person that you have been denying in yourself. And this is all very</p>
good. It feeds your consciousness, and expands awareness. But there is</p>
more to full integration than that.</p>
The reason you find it hard to "digest" certain types of people into your</p>
Oneself Body stems not from what exists in that person, but what is missing</p>
in you. We call your attention back to our analogy of Trans-Portals being</p>
similar to the human digestive system. When people demonstrate an "allergy"</p>
to certain foods, it usually stems from some *processing element* (like an</p>
enzyme, for example) that is missing from their digestive process. For some</p>
reason, their body doesn't create that chemical, and the whole process</p>
suffers because of it. Despite their best attempts to prepare the offending</p>
foods properly, with style and variation, the digestive system continues to</p>
have problems until the necessary supplement gets added to the process.</p>
Not all the people and situations you encounter in physical space are meant</p>
to become permanent parts of your life. Sometimes, they simply appear as</p>
catalysts for you to reach into your Multidimensional Self and discover new</p>
qualities or elements that you have forgotten. And, during a time of</p>
conflict, your task of integration and acceptance may not always be focused</p>
upon the person who is irritating you. That may only be incidental to the</p>
bigger picture.</p>
You must remember that both you and the people with whom you have conflicts</p>
are Multidimensional Beings. If you are having a dance with someone in</p>
current 3D reality, you can count on the fact that there are dances going on</p>
between you all up and down the vibrational spectrum---literally involving a</p>
whole spreadsheet of possible/probable contacts--many of which are quite</p>
pleasant.</p>
The resolution of present-moment conflict with another person (or</p>
society,for that matter) is brought about by opening a Portal between the</p>
physical aspect of you that exists *here* and an alternative aspect of you</p>
that exists *elsewhere*---particularly an aspect that is currently enjoying</p>
harmonious contact with the very same type of energy which is giving you</p>
such heartburn in this current moment.</p>
My Friends, if it were possible for you to analyze the energy "chemistry" of</p>
the version of you that exists HERE, and the alternative version of yourself</p>
that is functioning THERE, you would notice that one or more key elements</p>
are missing. To remedy this, an Astral Bridge is formed by taking a "soul</p>
sample" of that alternative self and infusing it into yourself here. This</p>
is all done in just the ways we outlined for you above.</p>
Once the required "energy supplement" gets added to your digestive</p>
system,you will find that the whole TONE of your current relationships begin</p>
to</p>
change. And, it happens automatically, without conscious effort or</p>
struggle. The only thing you require is a clear statement of intent (which</p>
would be blending with a more Expanded Level of Yourself), and the faith</p>
that is required to bring it all about.</p>
With all of this in mind, the process for Building Astral Bridges in a</p>
relationship would be as follows:</p>
1. Notice the exact SENSE of dissonance that exists. Many people are not</p>
aware of their sensory impressions, or of any hard feelings that exist</p>
between themselves and others. The same is true with allergic foods.Because</p>
you aren't aware of what is happening, you keep eating the offending foods,</p>
and you keep Shadow Boxing in your current relationships, rather than</p>
calling for the necessary "medicine" to complete your process, so your</p>
systems can begin to function at a new level.</p>
2. Notice how you FEEL when you are in the presence of your "other." How</p>
does your body react when he or she approaches you? This is very important</p>
information if you are going to command a "search engine" to locate an</p>
alternative version of you that can assist in the integration process.</p>
***A Key Principle: The first step toward feeling better is becoming better</p>
at feeling.</p>
3. Ask yourself what you WANT to be different in this relationship. When</p>
you do this please *do not* concern yourself with whether or not the change</p>
would be possible. Anything is possible if you can believe.</p>
4. Make a clear statement of intent, asking your Multidimensional Self to</p>
help you find a "Guide" that possesses the "medicine" which you require. A</p>
statement that might serve the process might be:</p>
"I am Stephen, of the Oneself. I am seeking to contact a level of my</p>
Multidimensional Self that is now enjoying a harmonious relationship with</p>
this energy currently mirrored to me in Fred. I wish to begin a blending, a</p>
sampling of energies with that Self, so that I may be transformed---so that</p>
I may be let go of all resistance to accept Fred as a valid and beautiful</p>
part of my universe. In faith, I believe. In perfect timing, I shall</p>
receive. So let it be."</p>
(The wording will come to you when you are ready. These are not established</p>
formulas, but simply samples of what is possible if you are ready to move</p>
into this process)</p>
5. Turn the outcome completely over to the universe. If the offending</p>
individual tries to engage you in debate, deep discussion, or argument, you</p>
can say to him (as politely as possible) "I am unable to discuss this with</p>
you now, but I will get back to you as soon as I can." Then, forget about</p>
it. Involve yourself with other tasks. Do not analyze it further, and do</p>
not approach the person (unless you must, in order to handle necessary</p>
business together) as long as there is any remnant of dissonance</p>
remaining.Your sense of continued discomfort is your indicator that the</p>
required "enzyme" has not yet spread itself throughout your system. And</p>
your relief from same will be your barometer concerning when you have had</p>
enough of this particular medicine.</p>
If two individuals in a relationship space are performing this alchemical</p>
process together, it can be Onederful, but only one "operator" is really</p>
required. That is because there is only one of you there anyway! When your</p>
"digestion" processes begin to change, you will be amazed at how your own</p>
perception of this person begins to shift. It will be like gazing at a</p>
hologram in a painting. The picture looks a certain way in one moment, and</p>
it changes completely in the next. Realize now that this is due, almost</p>
entirely, to energetic changes that have occurred in you.</p>
Reconnection to Oneness involves making contact, first and foremost, with</p>
your Expanded Self, with your own "Big Story." Only then will your "small</p>
story" sub-plots begin reflecting the harmony that is your birthright. As</p>
the Psalm clearly states: "Yea, though I walk through the Valley of the</p>
Shadow..........I will fear no evil.......for thou art with me." In these</p>
powerful days of Phase Shifting and Alchemical Blending, the Expanded</p>
Oneself is not just with you.......He/She/We are *within you* as well. You</p>
will be rapidly developing your own functional immunity to the many</p>
energetic "diseases" that have troubled your soul during this outgoing</p>
Paradigm of Separation. In fact, the very word "immune" almost brings to</p>
mind the words "I AM IN YOU," does it not? And so it is becoming, My</p>
Friends.</p>
</p>
STANDING ON A MOUNTAIN TOP</p>
</p>
It is the privilege of The Reconnections to "fill in all the gaps" that</p>
separate your Limitation Self from your Expanded Self. We do it slowly,and</p>
with much love. There is no need to rush. You have all the time in the</p>
world. Each of you came to this place from realms of expression that</p>
were nothing less than fantastic. In your "former estate," you were able to</p>
do or have anything you wished, just by thinking it. Being natives of such</p>
splendor, you yearned for a vacation, of sorts. You wanted to know what it</p>
would be like to embody *something* rather than to be *everything.* You</p>
wanted to distinguish yourself from others, from various objects and</p>
animals, and you wanted to learn what it feels like to need.</p>
Soon your research project will be completed. Has this form of reality</p>
gotten your goat? Never fear, he's right up there.......perched upon that</p>
mountain top. Watch him as he leaps from peak to peak, with perfect grace,</p>
perfect ease. Travel freely the Bridges Across Forever!</p>
There are Portals, Gates, Bridges, and Inner Pathways all around</p>
you.......each volume on a bookshelf, each picture that is hanging on the</p>
wall. Words can be a Portal, a statue can be one, or even a rose. An</p>
encounter with any symbol can be a spark of remembrance, leading you through</p>
a perceptual doorway---into a limitless storehouse of possible/probable</p>
versions of that same one thing. Connect two of them, or three, or</p>
four.........and the dance goes on into infinity.</p>
Some of you will begin to perceive immediately, with no help. Others may</p>
need to initiate visualization or meditation processes to tap into their</p>
stored memories. All you need do is drop your shields, and the guiding</p>
energy will begin to open your eyes. Some will do it sooner, others will do</p>
it later. Each person to his own plan, and his own style of unfoldment. As</p>
we have said previously, each event is its own miracle. However, some</p>
people require more "nudges" than others in order to shake off their</p>
slumber.</p>
Remember that everything is perfect, and everything is there, filed neatly</p>
within the Multiverse. The primary purpose of your physical journey is to</p>
explore details, and make alchemical adjustments before you make the leap to</p>
more expanded realms. As always, we shall be available to you on the inner</p>
planes. Look for us there, and we shall appear to you in whatever form you</p>
require.</p>
Stay present, stay open, and you shall always stay free.</p>
