But I'll be saying it anyway. Hanging out in the Cafe for informal banter with you guys. So, I've been listening to Bashar and Elan for a couple years and appreciate the perspective of that wisdom so very much. I find it to be practical, simple and relevant...yet also deep and rich with nuance. I appreciate other teachings as well and value the illumination in this path of self discovery. The idea of transforming limiting beliefs is somewhat new for me and something I wish I had learned of much earlier in this life, but I trust the timing and it's all good. I've been using a form of this process for a while though spirit-world journeys and reclaiming lost Will (as spelled out in the Right Use If Will books). Also let me tell you a quick story... I have an adult son with an 'intellectual disability' though I do not term him as such for he a great teacher to me. Anyway, some years ago he was acting out with certain negative behaviors when I offered him the idea of how our minds are like radio/TV receivers capable of tuning into different stations or channels and that we can easily tune into a station that we like. He told me he 'likes the good channel' and since that time has taken this method to heart, always telling me that he's 'keeping on a good channel." One particular time when he was being yelled at for something or another, I watched as he furiously grabbed at an imaginary channel knob on his head and twisted it while finding an appropriate channel to settle on. It was funny. Love that kid. So, yeah, keeping it positive best I can as well. On another note, these days have been interesting for me. The relevance of many things is shifting as I find my relationship to this event I call my life moving. I am noticing something massive these days on the horizon. Not sure if it's personal or a world impacting scenario, but it's there... I think others are picking up on this too. How exciting! So, not much to say, but I wanted to say something. I like reading all the posts and am happy this forum is here.

I'm not sure where to post this or even if it's appropriate but since it involves the application of what I've learned through Elan's teachings I'll put this out here. I find myself in an ongoing situation that I would not have asked to be in, but I sense a higher purpose at work and see it as one of those times my higher self (total Self) is orchestrating. It is so complex I will need to leave out many details and just give the bare bones of it here, so bear with me. About three years ago my next door neighbor asked for help with paying for a prescription she needed as she had lost her insurance and had no money. I agreed, but little did I know that it would turn into a convoluted series of events that continues to this day. She is disabled with mental and physical health issues and a rather checkered past, but she is a human being and I realize all things being equal it was my choice to help or not. That was just the beginning of a journey filled with challenges, opportunities, many instances of agony and so far, red light synchronicity. Many levels and realities were at play, it soon became evident. Dealing with faceless agencies and their representatives became an ordeal of such proportion it felt as though the universe itself was conspiring to destroy everything in its path. I know the universe has my back and all things, even seeming negative ones are for an ultimate good, but I wasn't seeing it, wasn't feeling it. Time to look at some beliefs. I create my own reality as she is the creator of hers and it seemed as though she was unconsciously hell bent on exploring the depths of lack and limitation facing homelessness, destitution and literally life threatening health situations. My own situation was dark as I continued to choose to help to the best of my ability but continued to see no resolution either immediate or even on the horizon. I did not prefer this at all. I can see how I have attracted this situation in order to learn from it, and circumstances are neutral and I assign the meaning but it's been taking some self reflection to get there. The matter of helping her financially became a moral wrangling and I resented being put into a position where I felt extorted by state and federal agencies and I was to be the arbiter of life and death in a very literal sense. I am retired and I watch in real time as my life savings dwindle. I look at the whole responsible for and responsible to issue and it is brought into clear focus...I question my sanity as I wonder if I should ever have chosen to help her at all, and always striving to do 'the right thing' as I decide it to be, I decide that I will. I choose that I will knowing somehow everything will work out BECAUSE I SAY SO. I get stubborn like that. I seek to lift my sister but she is so heavy now. I need to see her as Light yeah? Every day poses a new opportunity to choose and I know I am free to walk away from everything and one way or another ALL THAT IS will care for her, but as representative of ALL THAT IS in human form it comes back to me. She is the same and is the Creator too, but she doesn't know it yet. If a demon and a bulldog had a love child, that would be her on the outside, but I know she has a Heart of goodness and she feels terrible about the situation as it has played out for me. She has been deemed unlovable by all but not by God, this I know, and as God is within me...so it plays out. As I continue to apply what I know, face and transform fear and anxiety as they arise, I have one foot in the unknown and I'm okay with that. Sure would like a break though! I figure that break will come from inside as I shift and will then be reflected outside...no division really but at this point in time I'm still in it. I'll update as I move it. So, as wordy as all this has been, it is the short version nonetheless. Any insights welcome. Thanks. Love to you all.

Elan and Bashar both mention the dream like nature of physical reality and that what we call our nighttime dream is found, upon awakening as a realization that that dream was contained within us though it seemed we were in a landscape and just as 'external' world. So, physical reality is another relationship we have as consciousness intersecting with matter (which is also consciousness). That got me thinking.... ever had one of those dreams where you find yourself naked in public? Did you forget to get dressed or something? Did you use some dream money to go to a dream store and pick out some dream clothing to wear? Usually I know I'm dressed within a dream, but could I tell you what I was wearing? No. Do I recall dressing into those clothing, or does it all just arise all at once in the moment? retorical questions here folks....just having fun. 18th century mystic/seer/scientist Emanuel Swedenborg writes about angels being dressed in colors appropriate to their nature, and that the angels closest to God were in fact naked. He is quite an interesting fellow who wrote about spirit travels to heaven, hell and other worlds, describing some of them and their culture. Very interesting. Check out the 'off the left eye' YT channel for some quality edutainmant. Anyway... I digress. Swedenborg mentions how we find ourselves in the afterlife clothed appropriately to our being. Interesting. So, what I say is that our physical experience is another dreaming, and there are an infinity of dream worlds to explore. It's all One consciousness at play as characters and seeming separate things ... One dreaming of all worlds, all beings, all things... how wondrous! So, the next time you catch yourself in a dream...ask.... where did that clothing come from?

Finding myself to not yet be quasi-physical, I felt the cyclic event I call hunger arise and it got me wondering... surely there must be some ET races that would enjoy a good pizza... circular goodness easily customizable for the delight of just about any palette. It's symbolic wholeness begging to be shared. What's not to love? Here on Earth (most beautiful Earth) food often serves an important role in cultural exchange. I can see the machinery within a Ferengi mind calculating the profit potential of establishing an interstellar delivery service, but for me, I'd just be happy to share a few slices with some members of my ET family that had not yet experienced such a delight and could appreciate such an item. Silly perhaps, but there you have it.

The Love and Wisdom of Elan and company comes through so strongly, it is its own proof within my reality. Words cannot express my gratitude and delight upon discovering Elan this past year or so. The perspective offered is so relevant and timely for me and has totally transformed how I view everything. The Divine Providence within synchronicity has brought me an ease, for I know everything in my reality serves in a positive way. I am convinced. It is so very exciting to learn and realize more of myself through these teachings, for all is within me and all is within you. Speaking from the holographic fractal level, I presuppose certain ideas that are being revised now. These teachings have been an instrumental part of this life long unfolding and it's here at this timing because of vibration and the willingness to shift my own perception. SO EXCITING! Its all about Love which is what we really are even when it didn't look like it. The dreaming of our realities will show this truth to be so more and more... this I know. Abide in the Love forever my friends.

I LOVE music. One of my highest joys It's pure magic yes? What kinds of music do you prefer? Music takes me places, opens portals, brings deep joy and majesty and power. Music is a vibration laden permission slip for me to shift out of an non-preferred state. Works for me! So, there's this song called 'Meeting of the Spirits' by Mahavishnu Orchestra that I began listening to the 70's that for me has so much power and spiritual fire that when I hear it, the vibration wells beyond my form into the universe and beyond. I can imagine an ET friend hearing it and wonder intently what his sense of it would be. I'd do Bach Brandenburg Concerto #5 next. some Pat Metheny Group...I wonder who or whatever would receive such a tonal fire dripping sonic prayer as I beam it out. I think about the vast assortment of ET musical culture there must be. I'd love to be an ambassador of musical exchange... just imagine. My curated music collection might even see the light of day. I like all kinds of music and I realize just how subjective musical taste can be. That which resonates with my vibration the most may be different for another and I rejoice in the diversity and expansion of all musical styles. Music is an expression of who we are and the wonder cannot be overstated.

Who Am I? Oh, I get it... a trick question. Currently I am still discovering the answer to that most intimate question, but it's all One Mind Dreaming if you ask me. I AM and whatever alphabet words come after that is open to discussion. It's all very simple and immediate but can be complicated by thought and ideas to infinity. Being my own reality within an ever expanding greater reality I am in wonder and amazement most times. For purposes of introduction however, I say Hello to you all and am happy to share in these interactions with you. I am Love at my core and always have been and ever shall be even when it may not look like that. You are the same. This I know. There is a living flow of that which is beyond words and ideas and it is that which we are, known or not. We come from before the dreaming of I AM, prior to the picture show. Nice to meet you. Within this particular expression, this emanation in this form, I call that one me and that me has a time journey, a story that you may or may not find interesting...sound familiar? I bet you have one too. The Elan and Baashar teachings are most interesting for me now but at this point I also explore ACIM and non-duality for the insights offered. I love learning, discovering, realizing... these are some of my main passions... discovering more and more the depth and many levels of the Self. We have that in common too I bet. I sense a pattern here. Aside from that, I'm well versed in TCM, various healing modalities like flower essences, stones and crystals, music, plant spirit medicine, astrology, more. Anyway, catch you in the next now which is starting...right...now.
