What do I do with my perception of this reality I experience as pain and how do I change my perceptions to include what I want?

"You have asked three very powerful questions. I will rephrase and answer each of them. First, 'Is my pain real or only a perception?' Yes it is real, and will be healed more quickly when it is honored as real. Yes, it is your perception and therefore you are responsible for it no matter what person or situation may seem to be 'causing' it on the 'outside'. The pain is a guest in your venue. The first thing you can do is make it feel welcome. Next, if you want it to heal, take whatever time is necessary to find acceptance for it as you might for a child who is unhappy and crying. Then if you like, go inside and ask me to help you understand and heal the pain, and I will. The Four Steps to Full Self Realization is a complete formula for healing pain of all kinds.

The second question is, How do I change my perceptions?

"You change perceptions through the Sacred Act of Choice. The most important, valuable and probably the least understood gift I have given you is Free Will. You and only you can choose what you will perceive and what you will make of your perceptions. It is important to understand that it is not the feeling or the perception of the feeling of pain that hurts. It is the meaning or interpretation that you give to the perception. The same perception on one day may feel pleasurable and on another day feel painful. This is not a feature of the perception, but rather the result of your interpretation or judgment of the perception. The truth is you are perceiving a sensation, in this case an emotional feeling. You can choose to interpret the feeling as 'pain' or as something else. There is much more to this and I will soon be going into the 'nuts and bolts' of the healing process in my class, The Quest for the Mother.

God, I "understand" to a degree that we all create our own reality, and that we're invited to drive the bus. But isn't it true that some things are real, and they are not a matter of perception, but just the "real" thing? I want to be creating harmony and love and bliss, but I can't let go of the Newtonian model of what's real. This is a stopping point for me.

"There is a 'baseline' consentual reality that is created through you and in concert with the others in your world. This happens at a deeply unconscious transpersonal level. The seemingly deepest and densest parts of your world like trees, the sky, ocean and other physical 'realities' are created by me, from within you. The reason it seems like you are not creating certain parts of your world is because you are not aware that you are doing it, just a you have been unaware that I, I, the creator, am you.

"You are right to question what I have said here because it comes from a source outside of yourself. Interestingly, the things you first learned at home and in school did not come through a 'dubious' filter, and yet they form the standard against which you now compare new information. The Newtonian model can seem more real than your own perceptions and logic, not because it is the correct model, but because it explains things in a way that seems to be true, and more importantly it's the hallmark of your paradigm, it's what everyone knows.

"I would like to point out that 'what everyone knows' once included the 'fact' that the Earth is flat and there is danger of falling off the edge if you sail too far out into the ocean. 'What everyone knows', has always proven to be untrue eventually, even though it seemed certain until it was questioned and disproved. For instance, it was quite difficult for your ancestors to let go of the idea that the Sun, Moon and stars revolve around the Earth. Once they did, however, they could get a much deeper understanding of physics. This new understanding was the foundation upon which Newton formulated his model of reality.

"Now Newton's model is threatened. Einstein has muddied Newton's water and now that 'everyone knows' there are four dimensions of space-time and everything is relative, it doesn't matter which way you look at it. It makes no difference if the Sun revolves around the Earth, or the Earth revolves around the Sun. It's all relative, depending on your point of view. Which brings us back to perception.

"Reality is a subjective experience because in order for something to be 'real' it must be perceived by someone, it must be 'realized'. If there is no perceiver, there is no 'venue' or place in which reality can exist. This raises the issue of my perception. In a way you are asking, 'Isn't your perception as God sufficient to make anything, including the whole universe, real without needing me or someone else to perceive it.?' However the question is phrased, the answer is not in how perception works, but rather in how creation works.

"I am creating the universe in every moment, 're-creating' it you may say. But where am I as I create it? The answer is I am inside of you. Most often you have been unaware of my presence at all, let alone as the creative force inside of you. This other level of reality of which you have very seldom been aware has had various terms such as 'God Consciousness', 'Cosmic Consciousness', 'Self Realization' and 'Enlightenment'.

"The key to understanding how all of this works is in the realization of a level of awareness other than the one to which you're accustomed, other than what you were taught in school. This is my whole point in opening this channel of communication. I want to reach that part inside of you that is aware of creating the universe you perceive. I want to reach the part of you that is me. In doing this I will need the help of the other part of you that experiences 'individual consciousness', the part that feels disconnected from your source, that feels like just one object among billions of other objects.

"To this part of you, the dubious Newtonian physicist, I say there is much more to you than meets the eye. For instance, you may remember times when you have felt connected, powerful and at one with all that is, while at peace and secure in the certain knowledge that all is well and will be so forever. This is where God Consciousness begins. This is where you can find me. Experiences like this, however, do not play well in a venue of individual consciousness.

"God Consciousness is the kind of experience that is easy to forget because it is not validated by your culture, Newtonian physics or the education system. In fact, your culture and customs discourage it. They tell you that experiences of eternal oneness, peace and power are flights of fancy that are dangerous to believe in.

"The saddest part of this has been that although these experiences have the unmistakable ring of Truth and provide the answers to all questions, they have been denied and forgotten because they were not in agreement with the relative 'truths' you were taught in the first lessons you learned.

"The good news is that you can decide on who and how you want to be. You can choose again, and I will help if you ask me to."

"Visualization may not be the easiest way to get something. If what you want, however, is to get visualization to work the short answer is to not only visualize it, but desire it into existence. The desire that something exist coupled with the belief that it can and does exist creates the space for it, and holds it in existence. Desire is the most generative force in the universe and is the only absolutely essential factor in the existence of anything. I will be talking a lot about True Desire in the healing class. In this class, however, we will focus more on thoughts and beliefs.

"This idea that using the mind can make things happen is heading in the right direction. Visualizing or imaging what you want is generative. In the presence of desire, images, thoughts and beliefs are creative, they guide creation and help form your reality. Every being and object in existence, every situation, movement and particle of matter had its beginning as a thought that filled a desire. The image or thought is the Light, the Spirit that communes with Desire to manifest and give form to the thing.

"A less well known and even more powerful approach to manifesting at the mental level is mentioned above. Perform the Sacred Act of Choice. Choose the reality you want. Choose to be what you want to be, to do what you want to do and to have what you want to have. To choose is to decide, and to decide is to cut off other possibilities and focus only on the one chosen. Once you've chosen, expect the results of what you have chosen. There will be more on this in a later lesson, so we'll leave this topic open for now."
