Hey y'all,
I just wanted to share my thoughts about and reactions
to David's newest readings. It's a gem. On the one
hand, I wish we could get these readings on a more
regular basis. On the other hand, it's readings like
this that one really needs to study and contemplate to
get the full effect of what is being said AS WELL AS
it's relevance on YOUR life.
Anyway, as I was reading this, I was struck by how
well the whole thing flowed. I wonder if David is
still dictating into the tape recorder and
transcribing later or if he is now doing the direct
typing into the computer thing. I mean, honestly, if
I didn't know better I would say that this thing flows
so well that I suspect some conscious mind overlay in
the mix. But remember that David is the one who's
been championing the whole "purity in channelling"
process of saying no matter what comes to you in
trance, no matter what it is, and not judging the
words as they come but just saying them. So my hope
is that the ease with which this reading can be read
and understood (see some of David's earlier readings
from the 90s to see the other end of the spectrum)
means that he's doing something right, since he's
worked very hard to make sure the transmission is
good. Plus, this reading resonates with truth that is
impossible to ignore.
Now, to get to the content, the first point about the
concept of obligation to spiritual work speaks volumes
to my current mindset. We all go through a point
where we just want to fall back into normal patterns,
not because we reject spiritual growth, but because we
get tired of expending the effort. Work on self is
ceaseless, and eventually you reach a point where the
monkey-mind gets too loud and shrill to ignore. I
guess what Ra is saying is that if you've reached the
point where you're fighting this "obligation", you
misassessed the entire nature of the situation.
I like the use of the term "expectations" as opposed
to "rules". In fact it's funny because I was reading
an article in the newspaper the other day written by a
parenting counselor who was talking about problems
parents have with discipline. He says that instead of
setting rules that micromanage your child's life, you
should instead make clear your general expectations of
how your child should behave. This gives them a
direction to go in rather than a narrow path to tread.
There's got to be some parallel ideas between that
and what higher dimensional guides do for us. It's
all about free will.
I don't think the stuff about the current conflict
will catch anybody by surprise from a
personal/emotional point of view. Most people I know
who consider themselves "on the path" do not agree
with our country's approach to this problem. But what
do you do about it? I don't think Ra is trying to
make Ghandis out of us, but the idea that you can
resist violence with violence should be an idea that,
by now, has proven fruitless. Those who protest war
only serve to propagate the idea of conflict. In
order to counteract war, you have to put as much
effort into achieving peace as they do to achieve war.
That's how you move humanity in the direction you
think it should go. And of course there's the idea
that as you move the world in this direction of peace
and integration, you move yourself as well, so that
all action we perform is simulatenously outer and
inner work.
The comments about romantic partners definately hit
home for me, as I was just discussing this with David
in NM. All I can say to this reading is that it feels
like I paid for a personal reading. Right on on every
point.
Great job David.
Jeremy
