Both Francis and I were distracted when we started this session. This made for a slow, stuttering conversation for all involved but the lesson about distraction was also included. If ever you’re doing a session with Mercredan, being completely honest about what you do and don’t understand, plus how you’re feeling about the material, will always give you a better learning.

Looking back on it now I would say me having no direction for the conversation was also addressed, not just the broader topic of lacking direction in your life and career.

Topics: Learning lessons in a different order, causing change, Quantum shift, letting go of your roots, essence vs. personality, personality and style, setting direction, losing physicality

BEGIN

—-

M: Good morning. Once again it is my privilege and pleasure to come and spend these few moments of your time. Very often one wants to continue yet there are threads in many diverse directions in consciousness. So until you begin to add direction then all sorts of possibilities arise. If you were to imagine a stone that drops into a lake causes ripples in every direction and each ripple will arrive at the shore at a different point in it’s amplitude. So then a different message appears with every direction. A different thought as Consciousness unfolds itself. So let us begin a conversation.

A: OK. We’ll follow that analogy through then, perhaps. How is the best way to figure out which direction to take?

Order of lessons

M: Always One is at the place in One’s life which begins to show what is being reflected from everything around. Whether that is people, events or even the environment. Change then, occurs at all times and every change is an opportunity for a new experience. If One wishes to allow that to occur or One holds on to the past, One holds on to memories that recreates what has gone before. Then, if the idea is that One has to learn specific lessons, rather than understanding that lessons often occur in a specific order, then a lesson that one is half completed might fall into place after another event. Does that make sense?

A: Yes it does.

M: So then questions arise from the new operation. The new timing. And as I have said many times before, everything is dependant upon the timing and the amount of intention. The amount of observation One has at the time. How much One is concentrated.

A: Yes. (pause) Um, I’m feeling at a loss as to where to continue. I understand what you’re saying about being focussed (laughs) which I am not (laughs). I’m still thinking around finding that direction and I understand there are lessons that must be learned in a timely manner and in the right order… um.

Depth of change

M: Let us, shall we say, extend our original field. The stone that drops into the pond causes ripples along the surface…

A: yes

M: … and yet you do not consider the ripples that it makes as it drops to the depths.

A: No, we don’t think about that very often.

M: The rippling then, continues beneath the surface. What affects One at the surface continues to make effects much deeper in the experience. So, One could say then, that when One reacts to the surface, what is left at the depth? What is beginning to shake loose the old foundations? Because when in a reality of constant change One also has to move deeper considerations, the deeper ideas that have taken root, as it were. And of course your roots go deeper into the ground. They are the anchors of One’s growth. And sometimes you forget to consider such anchors. You forget to evaluate the old and deeper roots of consciousness.

A: Mm, so it’s important to evaluate.

M: Of course, it is important to re-evaluate all of your life as it emerges from the ripples of your time. You understand? As you operate, as you come to those moments of deeper change, of more dominant changes.

A: Yes. So in evaluating the depth of ripples does this help us decide on the direction to go from there?

Letting go of your roots to make an evolutionary leap

M: (pause) The ripples, the depth of such ripples give you a deeper perspective of where you stand in the present moment. Where your background arises from. And if you wish to make an evolutionary leap, is it possible to hang on to the same roots? Like a tree that has arrived and is ready to cast out a new seed is not expecting the seed to fall into the same territory as itself. While that is most likely, it is always possible that the new seed will find more fertile ground or even more difficult territory. So an evolutionary leap often comes with a different frame of reference.

A: Yes. So… I’m trying to bring this back to everyday life now. If the stone drops and new insight comes and we get the chance to evaluate that… we’ve moved onto the trees now haven’t we. Um

M: I want to say the point is when you are ready for a leap in consciousness one has to be ready to abandon the past. 

A: Yes!

M: One has to be ready to change tack as it were. To see yourself in a very different light.

A: And is that… it’s not really uprooting, is it? Do you leave the old tree behind in the past and you move on with the new seed?

M: Of course. You are leaping ahead. You do not lose who you were, but you carry it with you to a new life. You can see your history and if you are careful you will be able to see your history reflected in your parents and your grandparents and your great… and so on, in to history. You are always a new seed and at this point can you seed yourself into a new level of perceptions? Because it is from the ground level of perception that you create your experiences. It is from your depths that you create your experiences. It is what you are that reflects your self into creation. We have talked in the past about such things.

A: Yes. I seem to hear much from many people about finding who you truly are. Yes you do have a history in the is body but there’s more to it than that. So I suppose that’s incorporated into who you truly are but that’s not the end of it, is it?

Essence vs. Personality

M: The difficulty is “essence”. Because you want to know who you truly are without defining whether you are talking about essence or whether you are talking about your “personality”. You understand, your personality has a finite lifetime.

A: Yes. So can we talk about essence more, then?

M: Let us say, the essence is the energetic connection to all that is. The Oneness and Unity of all things is the essence. One should not try to lose One’s personality in totality because you have to have something to face up with.

A: Yes, you are not unique otherwise.

M: So often you are being encouraged to become without a personality and that is perhaps not only extraordinary difficult but if you lose your personality you will lose your identity. Then you will be lost. It is like a ship. You are sailing on the waters of Consciousness and at your destination you will leave the ship behind. The ship has a finite life, a finite destination, but the traveller continues on.

A: Yes. So the personality and identity is just related to this physical body, right?

M: Of course.

A: Do we take any of those with us? If we start a different life in a different time period, do we take any of those personality traits with us?

M: Let us say you take with you the resonances that you have developed. That is why skills and some, shall we call it, karma, is carried forward. But it is not the personality and that is where the confusion arises with those that wish to have continuity of lifetimes and those that simply want to acknowledge a single lifetime. So it is that the identity drops away. The personality is completed as soon as the mental body dissolves away. The mental body being the ideas that you have developed. So you think of yourself as a specific personality, a specific person with a name and so on. Then of course, if you hold on to that your mental image will persevere for quite considerable times. Often of course, in the end it breaks down purely from boredom because when you no longer have a physical body you can no longer generate more experiences. You understand?

A: Mm

M: You are somewhat locked into replaying only the past.

A: Unless you follow around the people that are still in physical form.

M: Of course and attempt to engage in their experience but, mostly that is brought about by certain desires and so on.

A: Mm ok. So the essence is the connection to Oneness. Does that mean that the essence of everybody is the same?

Personalty and Style

M: (pause) In the main. Let us simply answer that as a positive. I am trying… because when you answer it in that way it appears as if you are nothing more than the singularity and yet there are certain frequencies that are imposed upon that. As I point out the resonances continue on. So you are not so much a personality as a style.

A: Mm! A style?

M: That might be a word that describes. One might then have certain attractions to a particular sort of lifetime. Let us say artistic or …

A: Ah yes. So some one might be crazy about the 1920s. They might be attracted to one era. Is that what you mean?

M: Of course. And then every lifetime will have a reflection of that.

A: Right

M: So if One is attracted to a life where One was able to be a dancer and also one where One was incapable, One might then be attracted to the style of dance. You understand? The concept of dancing would appeal to both sides of that.

A: So they might become a great fan of dance shows. Is that what you mean?

M: That would be a possibility. Or One who was unable to manufacture rhythms suddenly chooses to resonate around those with rhythm. Then the style is what is attracted.

A: Right, I understand that. OK.

(pause)

A: I don’t know where to take it from here. I sort of started in one place and we’ve moved. I’m not very focussed today. Um.

Setting Direction

M: I think that is the point and like all things unless One has a set of focus. That is unless One is truly engaged then the attention is caught up wherever the ripple touches the shore. You understand then, if you want to move forward, always set the direction.

A: Yes, well that’s where we come back to. So if we understand our style and we understand our depth of change…

M: As long as you understand the ripples are not just at the surface, that while they are more obvious at the surface, more strategic, the pressures of those deeper ripples remain as such. So the deeper you go the more resonant the effects of ripples become.

A: I still think I’m a bit confused on this, that ripples will still flow out 3 dimensionally at least…

M: Of course.

A: But that just means there are so many options in which direction to take.

M: Of course.

A: I don’t feel like I quite understand how we get to choose what the direction is from there even once we once we do understand the depth of the ripples.

M: You set it with your consciousness, with your mind. You set your direction…

A: But how do you choose which direction that should be?

M: You understand, the question “what it should be”, I do not consider that an option. It’s what it is that you which to experience. Set your direction by making a conscious choice.

A: Yes. That’s the power of the co-creation isn’t it.

M: Of course and then you can understand the ripples as they are in that plane of existence. Because you have eliminated all of the options. Let us say this. (pause) For many centuries, Humans have been taught that there is a luminous shell, an egg, that surrounds the physical body through which all experience is radiated from. Then, One’s perceptions are directed through that luminous body and it is the position One projects that will create the reality One experiences. And for most people they are locked in habitually to looking at life in a set way. Let us say then, that you want to change your patterns. You want (pause) what is a good possibility. You want to have a more fulfilling life. A more fulfilling work as such. And yet underneath you are always focussed upon the deeper threads of your upbringing.

A: Yes, I’ve seen a few examples of that lately. People saying, “This is what I want but I can’t have it because all of my past experience tells me that it’s not possible.”

M: And that is the point. So One’s past as we have pointed out before, One’s past experience, that is when you are looking in a certain way through the luminosity, then where it is projected from is your history but in more deeper terms it is the ripples of a depth…

A: So it’s a bit more like our single railroad track analogy isn’t it. That you just think that is the only direction you can go because all you are doing is relying on the past.

M: That is correct and if you wish to shift One has to first of all test the truthfulness of your interpretation of the past. Because the past is not set in concrete any more than the future as we have pointed out. So if you consider that the past, as you experience it, is only your own personal misunderstandings, your interpretation of events, rather than the events themselves. Then you begin to realise every event might have a different interpretation. The more interpretations you get, the wider the field of projection becomes, the more options arise until there comes a time when suddenly you realise even the event itself was not as it seems.

A: Yes. That is the moment when people really open up and see how many choices they have.

Quantum Shift

M: And that is the moment that a shift in perception occurs. A quantum shift that allows anybody to become what ever they wish within the context of the co-ordinates. You understand, there are limits to that in terms of physicality.

A: Yes. Though in the future the physicality will be less important, won’t it?

M: Of course, the truth is that the co-ordinates and the physicality are also part of that historical framework. You understand nothing of it is truly certain.

Losing physicality

A: Mm. How long will that take us before we get to that point? You’ve talked to us about 5D and 6D worlds.

M: Let us say this. At any moment!

A: Yes. It’s different for each of us, I suppose.

M: The question is can you or will you remain in physicality, in physical body once that shift occurs?

A: Well I’ve only once seen from the perspective of the non-physical to looking down into the body that I don’t think I would want to be here (laughs) it’s so heavy! I see it as pea and ham soup, it’s so dense and slow and limited.

M: And the truly enlightened Being overcomes even that.

A: Yes, but are you saying that can happen in this lifetime or are we talking 1000 years down the track?

M: Of course in this lifetime! At any moment in any lifetime. And that is why those who have managed such a thing bring about certain experiences that are “unbelievable”.

A: (laughs) Yes. That sounds very exciting. OK, I think that’s as far as I want to go with that today.

M: Then thank you for your time and let us say this before we complete. (pause) It is important that One continues the practice of staying in the present moment because it is in the present moment that the key becomes available. You cannot ascend out of anywhere else.

A: Yes, I notice I’ve been moving away from that lately and I know I need to come back to it. So thank you for that reminder.

M: Then thank you and Good Morning.

A: Good morning. Thank you.
