Apologia

This literary trifle, A Message to Garcia, was written one evening after supper, in a single hour. It was on the Twenty-second of February, Eighteen Hundred Ninety-Nine, Washington’s Birthday, and we were just going to press with the March Philistine. The thing leaped hot from my heart, written after a trying day, when I had been endeavoring to train some rather delinquent villagers to abjure the comatose state and get radioactive.

The immediate suggestion, though, came from a little argument over the teacups, when my boy Bert suggested that Rowan was the real hero of the Cuban War. Rowan had gone alone and done the thing—carried the message to Garcia.

It came to me like a flash! Yes, the boy is right, the hero is the man who does his work—who carries the message to Garcia.

I got up from the table, and wrote A Message to Garcia. I thought so little of it that we ran it in the Magazine without a heading. The edition went out, and soon orders began to come for extra copies of the March Philistine, a dozen, fifty, a hundred; and when the American News Company ordered a thousand, I asked one of my helpers which article it was that had stirred up the cosmic dust. "It’s the stuff about Garcia," he said.

The next day a telegram came from George H. Daniels, of the New York Central Railroad, thus: "Give price on one hundred thousand Rowan articles in pamphlet form — Empire State Express advertisement on back — also how soon can ship."

I replied giving a price, and stated we could supply the pamphlets in two years. Our facilities were small and a hundred thousand booklets looked like an awful undertaking.

The result was that I gave Mr. Daniels permission to reprint the article in his own way. He issued it in booklet form in editions of half a million. Two or three of these half-million lots were sent out by Mr. Daniels and, in addition, the article was reprinted in over two hundred magazines and newspapers. It has now been translated into all written languages.

At the time, Mr. Daniels was distributing the "Message to Garcia", Prince Hilakoff, Director of the Russian Railways, was in this country. He was the guest of the New York Central, and made a tour of the country under the personal direction of Mr. Daniels. The prince saw the little book and was interested in it, more because Mr. Daniels was putting it out in such big numbers, probably, than otherwise.

In any event, when he got home he had the matter translated into Russian, and a copy of the booklet given to every railroad employee in Russia.

Other countries then took it up, and from Russia it passed into Germany, France, Spain, Turkey, Hindustan, and China. During the war between Russia and Japan, every Russian soldier who went to the front was given a copy of the Message to Garcia.

The Japanese, finding the booklets in possession of the Russian prisoners, concluded that it must be a good thing, and accordingly translated it into Japanese. And on an order of the Mikado, a copy was given to every man in the employ of the Japanese Government, soldier or civilian. Over forty million copies of A Message to Garcia have been printed. This is said to be a larger circulation than any other literary venture of the author, in all history — thanks to a series of lucky accidents!

"A Message to Garcia"

In all this Cuban business, there is one man that stands out on the horizon of my memory, like Mars at its perihelion.

When war broke out between Spain and the United States, it was extremely necessary to communicate quickly with the leader of the Insurgents. Garcia was somewhere in the vast mountainous regions of Cuba—no one knew where. No mail or telegraph message could reach him. The President must secure his cooperation, and quickly. What to do!

Someone said to the President, "There is a fellow by the name of Rowan who will find Garcia for you, if anybody can."

Rowan was sent for and given a letter to be delivered to Garcia. How the "fellow by the name of Rowan" took the letter, sealed it up in an oilskin pouch, strapped it over his heart, then in four days landed by night off the coast of Cuba from an open boat, disappeared into the jungle, and in three weeks came out on the other side of the Island, having traversed a hostile country on foot, and delivered his letter to Garcia — are things I have no special desire now to tell in detail. The point that I wish to make is this: McKinley gave Rowan a letter to be delivered to Garcia; Rowan took the letter and did not ask, "Where is he at?"

By the Eternal, there is a man whose form should be cast in deathless bronze and the statue placed in every college of the land. It is not book-learning young men need, nor instruction about this and that, but a stiffening of the vertebrae which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their energies: do the thing — "Carry a message to Garcia."

General Garcia is dead now, but there are other Garcias. No man who has endeavored to carry out an enterprise where many hands were needed, but has been well-nigh appalled at times by the imbecility of the average man—the inability or unwillingness to concentrate on a thing and do it.

Slipshod assistance, foolish inattention, dowdy indifference, and half-hearted work seem the rule; and no man succeeds, unless by hook or crook or enforced threats, or bribes other men to assist him; or mayhap, God in His goodness performs a miracle, and sends him an Angel of Light for an assistant.

You, reader, put this matter to a test: You are sitting now in your office — six clerks are within call. Summon any one and make this request: "Please look in the encyclopedia and make a brief memorandum for me concerning the life of Corregio," Will the clerk quietly say, "Yes, sir," and go do the task?

On your life, he will not. He will look at you out of a fishey eye and ask one or more of the following questions: Who was he? Which encyclopedia? Was I hired for that? Don’t you mean Bismark? What’s the matter with Charlie doing it? Is he dead? Is there any hurry? Sha’n’t I bring you the book and let you look it up yourself? What do you want to know for? And I will lay you ten to one that after you have answered the questions, and explained how to find the information, and why you want it, the clerk will go off and get one of the other clerks to help him try to find Garcia — and then come back and tell you there is no such man. Of course, I may lose my bet, but according to the Law of Average, I will not. Now, if you are wise, you will not bother to explain to your "assistant" that Correggio is indexed under the C’s, not in the K’s, but you will smile very sweetly and say, "Never mind," and go look it up yourself. And this incapacity for independent action, this oral stupidity, this infirmity of the will, this unwillingness to cheerfully catch hold and lift — these are the things that put pure Socialism so far into the future. If men will not act for themselves, what will they do when the benefit of their effort is for all?

A first mate with a knotted club seems necessary; and the dread of getting "the bounce" Saturday night holds many a worker to his place. Advertise for a stenographer, and nine out of ten who apply can neither spell nor punctuate — and do not think it necessary to.

Can such a one write a letter to Garcia? "You see that bookkeeper," said the foreman to me in a large factory. "Yes; what about him?"

"Well, he’s a fine accountant, but if I’d send him uptown on an errand, he might accomplish the errand, and on the other hand, might stop at four saloons on the way, and when he got to Main Street would forget what he had been sent for." Can such a man be entrusted to carry a message to Garcia?

We have recently been hearing much maudlin sympathy expressed for the "down-trodden denizens of the sweatshop" and the "homeless wanderer searching for honest employment," and with it all often go many hard words for the men in power.

Nothing is said about the employer who grows old before his time in a vain attempt to get frowsy ne’er-do-well to do intelligent work; and his long, patient striving after "help" that does nothing but loaf when his back is turned. In every store and factory there is a constant weeding-out process going on. The employer is constantly sending away "help" that have shown their incapacity to further the interests of the business, and others are being taken on. No matter how good times are, this sorting continues: only, if times are hard and work is scarce, the sorting is done finer — but out and forever out the incompetent and unworthy go. It is the survival of the fittest. Self-interest prompts every employer to keep the best of those who can carry a message to Garcia.

I know one man of really brilliant parts who has not the ability to manage a business of his own, and yet who is absolutely worthless to anyone else, because he caries with him constantly the insane suspicion that his employer is oppressing, or intending to oppress him. He can not give orders, and he will not receive them. Should a message be given him to take to Garcia, his answer would probably be, "Take it yourself!" Tonight, this man walks the streets looking for work, the wind whistling through his threadbare coat. No one who knows him dare employ him, for he is a regular firebrand of discontent. He is impervious to reason, and the only thing that can impress him is the toe of a thick-soled Number Nine boot.

Of course, I know that one so morally deformed is no less to be pitied than a physical cripple; but in our pitying let us drop a tear, too, for the men who are striving to carry on a great enterprise, whose working hours are not limited by whistle, and whose hair is fast turning white through the struggle to hold in line dowdy indifference, slipshod imbecility, and the heartless ingratitude which, but for their enterprise, would be both hungry and homeless.

Have I put the matter too strongly? Possibly I have; but when all the world has gone a-slumming, I wish to speak a word of sympathy for the man who succeeds — the man who, against great odds, has directed the efforts of others, and having succeeded, finds there’s nothing in it: nothing but bare board and clothes. I have carried a dinner-pail and worked for a day’s wages, and have also been an employer of labor, and I know there is something to be said on both sides. There is no excellence, per se, in poverty: rags are no recommendation; and all employers are not rapacious and high-handed, any more than all poor men are virtuous. My heart goes out to the man who does his work when the "boss" is away, as well as when he is at home. And the man who, when given a letter for Garcia, quietly takes the missive, without asking any idiotic questions, and without any lurking intention of 'chucking' it into the nearest sewer; or of doing naught else but deliver it, never gets "laid off," nor has to go on a strike for higher wages. Civilization is one long, anxious search for just such individuals. Anything such a man asks shall be granted. He is wanted in every city, town and village — in every office, shop, store and factory. The world cries out for such: he is needed and needed badly — the man who can "Carry a Message to Garcia."

As your need to experience in calculated time passes into relative unimportance, the momentum of your experiences of the new paradigm will flow smoothly into a release of the materialistic mode that holds you tightly within the power of the deviant perpetrators. It is the pursuit of the creation of your personal fiefdoms, and in the competition to create one of greater opulence and grander physical pleasures, that have you trapped. These are empty promises to fill the void of imbalance that you feel within. Subliminal messages are planted within all the advertisements in order to feed your materialistic addictions. The tangled and layered morass of information and lies is reminiscent of the fable of the lion and the mouse. The lion of Humanity lies staked to the earth, held fast by the "net" of distraction from the conscious mind. In the story, it took a tiny mouse to chew through the ropes to release the lion. In our version of the story, it is the radio talk show, the available Internet information, and the publication of books and tapes, that constitute the mouse. The information shared is based on personal experience, and well-researched archives of information are available to any that care to take advantage of it. The integrity of the "net" is threatening to give way. Once released, the lion is then aware of the power of the tiny mouse, so anything could happen. Unfortunately, there are more "nets" in place unless we take charge of the story line and change the scenario.

The point of these messages is to encourage and to inform, not to educate in the format as it is practiced. There are no subliminal subversive intentions hidden within them. Each of you has programmed within the deepest levels of your awareness, the memory of the purpose that you came into this lifetime to accomplish. We are simply keeping our agreement to remind you, and to give guidance and direction to your actions. When the focus is placed upon reacting to what is perceived as eminent danger, then momentum is lost. It is our agreed function to share the view that we are privileged to have from a dimension encompassing a greater vision of the situation. We view energy-patterns within the movement of a holographic display, and can model the various possibilities that are available. This is an advantage. It is the purpose of this information to share what is allowed, within the Universal Laws governing freewill, with as much clarity as possible. We find allegorical stories are remembered and applied to one's overall understanding most effectively. We are limited to those that are available through the experiences of the translator of this information. It is a dictation/translation/transcription process, with the translation portion being the most critical component. It is important that this person continue to input information in order to enhance the available "database". Guidance is provided in order to acquire the appropriate materials.

It is within the allowable guidelines to bring to your attention any deviations within those patterns that can be corrected, because it is your freewill decision whether or not to do so. The problem of getting the information to you is massive indeed. Face-to-face discussions are not possible for many reasons, but mostly because victim/martyrdom is not part of our experience-pattern, and that would be the end-result. Therefore, we present this process as a more effective way. Although there is no two-way exchange possible at this time, and it is not necessary.

It is also possible for us to bring much information into the awareness of those committed to the project. Through the acceptance of this commission and a commitment to participate and see it though, the energy matrix of each will change, and this is observed. This opens a line of communication, and also results in a change of activity within the inner dimensional (sleep) states. These changes are reflected in the outer dimensional activities during the day. Many changes in these lives will be noted, from the mundane to major shifts in attitudes and choices of activities. As mental and physical activities change, the intent and commitment becomes more focused and a spiraling effect begins to occur within the various levels of consciousness. You are being supported in this process!

It is with trepidation that we bring to your attention the fact that the open communication lines are now under greater control, and it is their intention to identify those yet unknown individuals who disseminate information that counters their plans. As yet, it is still in the identification process, and has not moved beyond into retribution. This is because there are purposes for allowing you the privilege to do what you are doing that are not known to all levels of oppression. The "identification process" is being further expanded. We strongly suggest that you edit your verbal and written conversations. Book wording can be read electronically, but titles especially are being processed. If suspicious, then a scanning of the forward/epilogue portions is taking place in order to be reviewed. Expect bookstore chains to be contacted and told to remove titles from their shelves, and raids to take place at wholesale/distributor levels as the next step. Hopefully, they will be discriminate and take only certain individual items, however, that has not been the pattern. This will limit your freedom to print and distribute freely, so creativity must be used in the wording of titles, forwards and endorsement information. It suggests the possibility of setting up alternate locations, and using different names with books, etc. that are likely to pass through the first two tests. This might be considered as possible joint efforts, if the hurdle of profit-sharing can be worked through. If reprints are being considered, or new books or tapes, these considerations may be important. Creativity in promotional copy will be challenging. Intuitive inspiration is available upon request. Smile! You are on the winning side!

It is with greater resolve or determination that you must focus the energy of intent into bringing forth this phase of the project. There is indeed a nuance of difference in these. One can intend to do something, but never actually do it. Resolve or determination is the spark that holds the intent in the forefront of the field of activity within your awareness. "This phase" refers to what might be called the second layer of activity toward the initiation of the project. The phase of "getting the word out" does not cease just because a new phase has begun. One simply adds the beginning of the next phase in a layering sense. Phase One was something like the foundation of a pyramid. Now we are beginning the second layer of the construction before the first layer is complete. Visualize how graphics complete a picture on the computer. It begins, but does not always complete, the picture in a totally horizontal motion one line at a time, and the picture is then complete at some point. Next, consider this in terms of a holographic focus for the planet. In your mind’s eye, you can see where the information has gone and "paint" in areas where your information has been sent. If you see the planet as dark and the information painted in as lighted areas, you can begin to "get the picture". You could see the sprinkles of light spreading outward.

Even people who have heard and consciously rejected this information still reflect a degree of light, and it remains waiting to fully reflect itself forth. It is because you cannot know how many of these there are that you have difficulty in grasping the magnitude of accomplishment that this phase has reached, and it continues to expand. The "hundredth monkey effect" is very close indeed. Portions of Phase Two are already in motion, and momentum will expand it much more quickly than Phase One. Due to the degree of awareness brought forth by Phase One, there are many that are waiting and wondering what it is that they can do, now that they are aware. We shall provide that answer, and it will seem to them an easy thing to do, for they are being asked to do something that can be done privately and without drawing any attention. And it is the most powerful thing that needs to be done. It is a focused pivotal change of attitude from victimhood to empowerment.

The great resistance to Phase One information was due to the fact that each individual thought it would involve armed revolution in order to accomplish change. We know that a change is not our goal. A new paradigm of experience begins with totally different techniques and methods, and there is no countermeasure in place once it is begun. It can be countered only with reactive measures that would be deviations within the negative plan. This would bring forth chaos within that focus. The negative plan is counteractive to the flow of creative energy within which it exists. It requires continuity and a narrowly-defined focus that links together. This is absolutely essential.

It is with joy that we share these segments of information so that you may begin to understand more than just the nature of the negative plans, but also to understand that the weak links available within their plan are opportunities. We can continue to guide you as to how to "gnaw away" at those links, as long as we are asked! Please remember to do this. To receive and follow through is of critical importance, but do remember to ask. Your appreciation is warmly received, and your follow-through is applauded with zeal at many levels. However, the key is always to use your freewill to choose.

There is a children’s song used to teach the letters of your alphabet. The alphabet is the foundation of the written words in your languages. What we desire you to learn to use is what is termed the "foundation of manifested self-awareness". Just as you must learn to apply the alphabet to written language and combinations of sound in order to speak the language, you must use the principles that create the foundation for directing the flow of thought into the coagulated energy that creates what is experienced as Life. It is the utilization of the potentiality underlying all, that is known at every level. This is accomplished through a process mentioned before, and is reflected at the very basis of your ability to remain in your earthly form, breathing. Explained in a simple format, it is drawn in through the expansion of the lungs, then rest, contraction of the lung, rest and repeat. The lung is the vehicle of containment and motion. It, in turn, is contained within the totality of a greater conscious awareness vehicle, the body.

This is a pattern matrix that is repeated in endless variety. The stumbling block is to learn to appreciate this variety each time it is encountered, and to remember that it is but a unique manifestation of the basic pattern matrix. This difficulty is especially true if there is distortion within the particular expressions that are encountered through experience. The more confrontational the experience, the more distortion is occurring, not in just one, but in both individuals. Unfortunately, distortion "ripples" outward and encompasses groups of interacting individuals. When the interactive distortion becomes large enough, then in order to correct the distortion, a large number of those involved must return to the relearning and application of the basic fundamentals of manifested experience. Simply stated, they must re-learn and apply the Universal Laws. Guess where your planetary inhabitants are?

Fortunately, you have at your disposal communications with a high potentiality of reaching vast numbers, at least at the moment. Mounting pressures of multiple layers of oppression are creating tension within those that can be reached, and there are yet many ways of reaching them. This would not have been possible 100 years ago, even though there were fewer to reach. These communication possibilities have been named "mass media" for good reason. There is no reason why these cannot be utilized for any reason contrary to what was originally intended. Perhaps, there was even help in bringing them into such widespread use. Could be! Guidance in many areas is available upon request. Where are your requisitions?

The length of these daily messages depends upon how much information can be received and assimilated, and in the conciseness of the message format. Clarity and conciseness are the goals, with enough repetition to assure the information is planted in fertile ground. If not, then another approach is used. For the greater part of human consciousness, the substitution of a new focus within their awareness is all that is necessary. For others of you, much more is involved. You have committed yourself to physical action, and the conception and dissemination of this new focus. After all, someone has to plant the seeds of thought that comprise the foundation of this new paradigm before they can begin to grow, mature and re-seed themselves. If you are reading this information, then you are chosen. Now the ball is in your court, and you will choose to be chosen or not. It is your freewill decision.

Our blessings are given as you process the information and provide it to others for their consideration. In your vernacula, hang in there, the roller coaster ride is just beginning. You have not even gotten to the exciting parts yet. Just know that you are strapped in and the ride will end. However, I doubt you will wish it had lasted longer. Not this time.

The focus of these messages has been directed toward the dissemination of information that concerns the expansion of your understanding with regard to plans and appropriate attitudes and actions within group areas. There has been little information with regard to your personal experiences and application in that area. This was not to indicate that this area is of little importance. New age information, better called new thought, which could be categorized even more accurately as "remembered thought", emphasizes the need to be balanced, and chants "be in the now". In actuality, that is correct! As previous pointed out, all of the cycles within the cosmos/galaxy move toward and away from the center point of stillness or perfect balance. In order for the Galaxy to be in balance, the cycles are moving within a balance of those moving away and those returning to each balance point. You could picture it as gyroscopes spinning and moving around a central gyroscope (Alcyone) that remains in perfect balance and puts forth an energy-pattern that holds all the smaller gyroscopes within its sphere of influence. Each gyroscope outside the central focus contains within it a myriad of smaller gyroscopes. In order for this entire system to continue in existence, there must be an equality of energetic motion. If one gyroscope gets far enough out of balance to approach a point beyond its ability to return, then counterbalancing must take place within the whole system, while focusing on holding it within the range of safety. This is, of course, an oversimplified picture, but it gives you some understanding. It allows you to picture the Earth at its tilt of 23 degrees approaching a point of losing its ability to return to balance.

If you consider that within the gyroscopic picture of Earth, there are 6 billion tiny gyroscopes, each spinning on their own axis, and that the balance of these also influences the balance of the larger one. If most of these are out of balance, then of course the larger one cannot remain in balance. Grasping this picture leads you to the understanding that the 4th Universal Law is that of Balance. One pattern of thought that holds a powerful influence in the balance or imbalance of personal expression is that of past, present and future. Since all are necessary for various reasons of survival and progress, they are embedded within the ego-observer mode. You remember the burn on your finger, and so you do not touch the stove again. You desire to build a larger house for your family, so you envision the steps that your future must contain in order to attract that experience, and so you migrate between the two. However, there is the present moment of "now" that you experience that is not either past or future. That is your balance point. It is your place of rest. You return there during each sleep-cycle. There was a time when the planet revolved in the cycle of light and darkness, and all were active or resting in unison, which brought greater balance to the whole. With the advent of artificial lighting, this balancing pattern is no longer present. Mankind now has constant activity first with the "Industrial Age". Now in the "Technology Age", even within the homes, the hours of rest within a family are varied. A balancing technique is practiced in what you call the Far East, and is called meditation. The new age group quickly adopted it. Techniques are often distorted, and the conscious awareness is overwhelmed with media clutter and unable to locate the still point of balance within the combination of conscious and subconscious. Entering that still point allows for connection with the Soul, and balance can be reached for at least a short time.

Balance is reached through the understanding and practice of the three basic laws of the universe: Attraction, Deliberate Creation (Intention) and Allowance. If you review the previous messages, you will find within the information suggestions for resolving this problematic situation of the population of Earth. In order to live the new paradigm of experience, those participating will be required to focus within present time. Only the framework will be known, and it must be fleshed out through "living it into existence", experience by experience. This will require living within present moment reality only. Within this focused group experience, balance will be attained. The past cannot be applied, and the future will be unknown. That will leave only the present.

Let us consider the galactic cycle completion. Is it only a momentary instant that is available to accomplish a grand ascension or a ghastly dimensional crash? That depends. Again, we return to your fixation of experiencing measured blocks of sequential events (seasons). Experience that occurs within what you call the present moment is a misnomer, an inapplicable designation. When you are focused into what you are thinking or doing with no awareness of any other activity, you "lose track of time". Each of you has experienced that. Only by looking at your time-tracking device (called a clock) do you have any idea of what the time might be, other than the presence or absence of sunlight. If each of you were totally intrigued with what you were doing, and that was your only required focus, and there were no seasons to concern you, would you care what day it was? If that intriguing subject opened the door to another and another, would you care what day or what time it was? I doubt it. If you were in balance, would sleep be necessary? What about food? What about recreational pursuits? Aren’t all of these necessities really just a search for balance?

This is not suggesting that you become breatharians. These are simply ideas to intrigue your imaginations. Your experiences are so far off of the intended balance that it is difficult for you to imagine what real balance during wakeful experience is like in 3rd dimensional format. It is far more pleasant than you know. No wonder you desire to leave this dimension, thinking that respite is only to be found elsewhere. Without the balance of the 3rd dimensional experience, you could not exist in higher dimensions in your body format and current self-awareness. First, you must come into balance. Because you are all interconnected, individuals have insurmountable problems maintaining balance, even if it is achieved. It is necessary to bring a large number into balance in order to accomplish what is necessary in terms of the bigger picture.

The bible warns you not to place "pearls of wisdom" before those who have no viable connection to their Source of Life. It is time to strike that idea from the books. It is time to do another 180-degree turn, and to do it in a practical, applicable terminology. The pattern has always been to hide it within religious and esoteric terminology so that only a few were privy to the information, lest it be lost through individual interpretations that might destroy it. Without written words, for few were literate, allegorical stories were the only method of disseminating even the basic understandings. These contained references to activities and other commonly known and understood references that were contained within that local cultural environment. Even these basic understandings became distorted when the stories were retold in cultural situations that had no reference points to those original understandings.

We find ourselves of necessity reintroducing the basics. A good place to begin a new beginning, don’t you agree? Attraction, intention and allowance leading to balance through application within experience. A doctorate in those positively leads to ascension to higher dimensions. Welcome to the ascending team!

We are entering the period of time that leads to the beginning of the shift of energies that will initiate the days of tribulation. Unfortunately, some of the predictions that have been made reflecting the plans of the dark side will manifest. Though they seem to indicate that the situation is irreversible, it certainly is not. This will be a time in which it will be critical that those of you who are privy to the behind-the-scenes maneuvers which you are part of, hold faithfully to the understanding and belief that they do indeed exist, and are positively laying the foundation for the new paradigm. This new pattern of experience can be pictured as a shimmering castle coming forth amid a scene of frantic confused activity. It is at first very dimly seen. Although this is hardly the pattern of what the new paradigm will resemble, it instead draws upon the 'Camelot myth' as a recognizable fantasy containing within it desirable dream-like ideals. It involves a process of observing it rising through the mists of focused imagination amid what appears to be reality. This is the understanding that we desire to trigger. If you are not a 'Camelot' buff, then choose some other picture.

Perhaps you will select the Phoenix, but allow for it to be transformed and to rise up before the ashes stage. We would emphasize a recognition that the desirable is already manifesting before the undesirable has disintegrated. The focus of even a few with belief and knowingness that it does indeed exist, and is coming forth, is of critical importance. By choosing different pictures but the same focus, then the process is held in place until the purpose is defined and becomes the ideal..

Defining the purpose will not be an easy process. Many versions will be proposed before ideal wording can encompass it. This is meant to encourage ones to begin, for the first step must be taken so that progress can be made toward the goal of bringing it forth. It is the brevity and the universal appeal of it within the diversity of 6 billion beings that is the key. Although it seems impossible, we assure you it is possible. We remind you to ask for guidance and help at these sessions. Egos must be in their observer states, for the credit of writing will go to no one individual. It is the desire that it comes forth in perfection that must be the motivation. It shall stand alone in its purpose of encompassing the focal points present on Earth into a focus of expression into greater experience. Again, we remind you of the breathing process. It will be taken in by the conscious awareness, contemplated and expressed outward through desire for its manifestation into each personal reality, and held dearly while it happens. We wish it were other than a lifeline for drowning beings, but that is the experience you have created.

It is through the approach to the universality of scope that the encompassing appeal shall be addressed. The focus on this aspect will begin to draw a feeling of oneness to the beings on the planet. A realization will begin to dawn that all are facing the same dilemmas, as the itchy feeling that something ominous is present continues to intensify this feeling, and activates greater understandings that the causes of it are beyond local, regional or national scope. The oppression is being felt with greater and greater intensity. What about the indigenous peoples? As we have mentioned before, they already know. Their "shamans" already have the message, and are aware that a new paradigm is being born. They are steps ahead of you, and are already at work on its expression. Their people are aware and already in harmony with the process. Do not be concerned with them.

Survival is their way of life. You may find yourself wishing you had incarnated into a more indigenous way of life in the days ahead. (I did say may!) Inasmuch as all have incarnated from the same Source, you are indeed connected and do communicate at subtle levels. The mass consciousness awareness is malleable through coercion, but always certain levels of it remain connected to the Source. It is through these connections that we can achieve subtle changes that will lay the groundwork for future shifts at the conscious levels. The oppressors must work within the levels of the mind, while it might be said that we have available the levels of the "heart." The heart feels. A feeling can transform the beliefs held by the mind. When the feeling vibrates within the being at a certain level, it overrides the belief, and the being simply tosses it out and follows the feeling to a new conclusion. The feeling of oppression is soon to override the insistence of the mind that all is well, and that big brother government will work things out to the benefit of all. The magician is about to lose his facade of darkness and be seen in the full light of recognition, and it may not be at the time of his choosing.

Inasmuch as you live within time as your controlling focus, we must deal with it. The sequence of linking interfacing actions and events now enters a phase of critical importance. It is important that each of you feel the inspiration, the divine urge, to push ahead with this project. The dominos are in place, and it will take but a nudge for them to begin their sequential trip. The placement of the final few must be preempted in order that the dark plan is unable to be carried to its planned conclusion. If a critical few can be removed, then the planned sequence will go awry and glorious confusion will result, the perfect time for the new paradigm to rise amid that confusion. However, its conception must have been completed and the birthing process well underway at the subtle levels..

It is difficult for the information contained in these messages to stress the importance of various facets without becoming repetitive. We also are aware that some are reading these that have not had access to the prior information, thus we attempt to make them at least somewhat inclusive. The window of time available to complete the second phase that is focused toward the completion of the worded purpose is continually shrinking. Therefore, we feel it necessary to continue to prod and poke, lest it close without its completion. Chaos would then indeed reign, and the birthing of the new paradigm could become unimaginably difficult. The period of chaos could stretch on for a painfully long time in your counting. It is not this information that is important; it is the conception and completion of the writing of the purpose! We do not want this information on file in your Library of Congress. We prefer it to be exchanged on a personal, need to know level. It is purposefully written so as to exclude words that trip the communication scanners so that it may be disseminated more easily to the chosen ones. We wish to be very clear about this. Our translator spends much time in the thesaurus mode looking for synonyms, so that word patterns are varied within each document. What appears to be but a few paragraphs involves much dedicated attention to this facet of caution. The purpose of this information weighs heavily on this conscious awareness, however, commitment carries the process forward day by day. We are finding that further commitment is matched in like manner by the readers of it, and we are grateful indeed.

It is your resolve to bring this new archetype of experience into being that holds the progress made in place so that the building of the pattern can continue on. Visualize the pattern of a snowflake only now beginning to crystallize from a drop of water. Just the very beginning of one corner of what will be a unique picture is happening. You are not only watching the creation of something uniquely beautiful, you are providing the focus that will cause it to happen. How could you avoid continuing to be an important part of this beautiful demonstration?

When the time arrives for what could be termed the crash of all your systems of communications, utilities and supplies, there will be turmoil and confusion of massive proportions. It behooves you who are well aware of this possibility to survey your personal situations and to make contingency plans. It is amazing to us that this information is known, but each assumes that it will happen around them, but not to them. You are aware of the existence of various mechanisms that would provide at least minimum replacements for your utility needs; even coordinated systems are available. The project will not make the shift in consciousness before this breakdown of our current lifestyle. There will be a period of chaos. How long that will last depends on the completion of Phase Two and Three, the conception of the new paradigm, and then the spread of it through the conscious awareness of your brethren. As you can deduce for yourselves, communications are relatively easy before the breakdown, and difficult at best after it. It is critical that you truly realize and begin preparing for this advancing menace with as much focus and dispatch as possible. We are long past the "I can hardly wait for it, but I just don’t have time to prepare for it just yet" syndrome. It is necessary for you to look carefully at your priorities, and to remember that you have made commitments that involve the survival and transcendence of as many of your willing brethren as possible. This does mean that they have to be occupying their bodies in order for this to be successful. This is indeed a heavy responsibility, but we again remind you that all possible help is available if you but ask and "move your feet".

It would appear that it is necessary to also remind you that the discussions of Phase Two must be conducted in places that are not likely to contain listening devices or wires. It is suggested that you view the movie called "Enemy of the State", and listen carefully when the character Brill describes the capabilities of the electronics. He goes through the list at top speed, and so you must be listening carefully. It was also presented on TV when the filming process of the movie was reviewed. In the movie, Brill reminds the hero that the capabilities he is listing were available many years previously. However, the capability to apply them in a massive manner was not possible until recently, but the added sophistication’s since then now exceed what is demonstrated in the movie. All of you are being observed, and when you gather, you can be sure your discussions are of interest. We would prefer that this project continue unnoticed for as long as possible. If this sounds melodramatic, so be it. Ask for discernment, and then view the movie and you will understand.

As our arrogant planners flaunt their methodology before your eyes, assuming that sleeping minds have little discernment between programming and entertainment, there is no reason we cannot use this information to our advantage. When you ask for discernment within our purposes, the ability to interpret and to envision ways of applying the Laws given you will provide avenues that allow you to avoid their entrapment techniques. As all-encompassing as they appear, they are inventions of opposite focus, and thus contain the elements of self-destruction. Just as Divine purpose contains within it the impulse for self-expansion, the opposite contains the tendencies of self-destruction. When the negative polarity is expanded, then its innate tendencies are magnified, just as the opposite is true within the positive polarity. It is within the path between the two that the spiral of evolution exists.

It is important to note here that the meaning of the word "evolution" has been purposely distorted by implanting the false idea that evolution and adaptation are synonymous. Animal life, and even human life, at one level adapts. Evolution refers to the spiral of spiritual experience through (think holographically) its return trip to the Source. Here you can see the correlation of spiral to spirit and holographic to holy.

When the appropriate moments arrive, you will have the discernment to bring forward into your conscious awareness that prickly feeling that causes you to move to a more appropriate place, and it will be available. Planning ahead does not work; it is necessary to be flexible and move in the moment. It is spontaneity that provides the atmosphere in which Creation moves without restriction. Since Creation is what you are about, then it is important to move within the framework of purpose as spontaneously as possible. Though this would seem that opposites are at counterpoints, indeed this is combining the polarities in a complimentary manner, thereby allowing for the spiraling effect that is desired for movement in a balanced manner. Polarities are not limited to extreme opposites, as in black and white, on and off, good and bad, etc. Pink and gray are opposites, but of a different intensity. These intensities are available in abundance to apply, and through this principle, diversity within a focus is accomplished.

How does this apply to the project at hand? It is through the diverse contributions toward the goal of completing Phase Two that the appropriate composite will come forth. Each session will be a think-tank of spiraling ideas toward the goal, fueled by combining the individual minds into an empowered group focus. It is the addition of the group focus that provides the increased power of the creative presence. Since the Creator is not a personal presence at the 3rd dimensional level, he literally cannot be present, but the combination of focus provided by the shared common goal brings forth a greater power, particularly when numerical combinations are observed. The common language of Creation is mathematical formulation. The practice of numerology touches upon how these formulations apply to individual lives. Spontaneity involves allowing the conscious awareness to relax, and for harmony to exist with these foundations of existence in order to bring forth desired results within the framework of defined purpose. The purpose of these think-tank sessions provides the framework to bring forth a greater purpose that, in turn, will be the framework for the new paradigm. It will be the framework that will provide for individuals to continue the process within their own experience. This may seem simple enough, however, it is in the understanding and follow-through of the steps within the tenets of the Universal Laws that is the trick. Allowance is the most difficult to incorporate. Rising above the need to control is the "leavening of the loaf", so to speak. Volumes could be written regarding this, but it would not change anything. It is in the doing that it is accomplished. It is the doing of this one facet that opens the door to the transcendence of this dimension. The ability to apply this principle is built upon the use of the previous two Laws (Attraction and Intention), and through application of all three Laws that the fourth is reached and bingo, you are there at the point of choice. To go or not to go! Graduation requires the release of attachments, then not now. Just as you have been misled regarding your ego, so have you been misled regarding your attachments! There is a difference between attachments and addictions. That is for you to discern, and now is the time to release the addictions. You must ask yourself what it is that you think must remain in your experience and what it would be pleasant to have, but not absolutely necessary. You will be surprised if you take a few moments to make even a brief list of your technological wonders, and then contemplate what life will be like without them. You will then be prepared for your not-so-distant future. This is not to say that a plan to provide for the basic necessities is a form of addiction rather than wisdom. Here again, ask for discernment..

We remind you that it is our concern for all that motivates us to share as much guidance with you as possible, for this project is of critical importance. The Creator is non-preferential in the desire to retain every fragment; we, however, value our "ground team" greatly. Friendship is a wondrous part of the shared experience of self-aware manifested fragments. You don’t remember us, but we remember you!

The days are now upon us for gathering the focus that will bring about the transformation of the mass consciousness. It will be an interesting process of interlinking various consciously-begun projects at different places on the planet. There are more than one "ground crew" operating with purposeful assignments. While it is natural to feel that what one person or one group is attempting to accomplish is too little too late, this is not the case. All are now in place, or nearly enough so that the concerted beginning can be initiated. It is necessary that the resolve, intent and purpose be held securely within the scope of each of you, as the days ahead may seem discouraging. You must hold to your commitment with a calm and a trust that does not waver. This experience is a manifested reality that must be dealt with inside that reality. The game must be continued on until completion. It can no longer be changed or delayed. Humanity is sinking into greater fear and confusion, thereby furthering the plans of the manipulators at a rapid pace. The spiritual levels of each are becoming more and more inaccessible, and the reaction of the spirit expressing through the body to this process will continue to reflect through the reaction of the planet also. It is not a pretty picture from our perspective. It is not our intent to focus your attention into this picture, but it is also necessary that you are aware of what you are working within. It is unfortunate that it has had to proceed this far into the levels of suffering before the consciousness becomes vulnerable and desperate enough to pause and reflect that enough is enough. Perhaps now, sufficient individuals can be reached with the desire to bring this situation to an end, and to be willing to accomplish it through a total change of engrained habitual reactions.

The locking mechanism has been what has been called "the opium of religion". The religious doctrine of "ours is the only way, and all else is wrong" has literally created cells within a dungeon of ignorance with every modern religious sect present and accounted for. This is not to say that some truth is not present within them, but there is not enough within any one of them (or even a composite of the truth known within all of them) now to guide Mankind into anything but unending circles of frustration. The innate desire is always available within each individual to progress toward the goal of transcending this entrapment within 3rd dimensional reality, and now religion offers no way to continue the journey. The aspiration of each soul-extension as it incarnates on Earth is to assist in bringing this situation back into balance. Each desires to become part of the pivotal pebble in the pond, but instead are caught in the entrapment of the heavy oppressive pattern of energies, and ultimately become part of the chorus calling out for assistance. The assistance cannot come from without; it must come from within through self-empowerment, not for the purpose of placing the self over and above others, but in the genuine desire to inspire others to follow suit. In this way, these individuals come into harmony with the creative flow, and with the focused conscious desire of those who are dedicated to this purpose that have accomplished this transcendence before. Unfortunately, the situation has reached such a sad state that dedicated ones of higher dimensions have now volunteered to incarnate and act on behalf of the inhabitants, and set into motion a wave of self-empowerment on the planet. These volunteers are numerous, and await the triggers planted within their awareness that will remind them of their roles. The time has come for this to begin!

Now is the time for these self-appointed individuals to lead Mankind from being, into becoming what was intended. The term "human being" is a misnomer; each of us are a "human becoming"! Knowing this, and referring to themselves in this way, each would be constantly focused upon the true purpose of incarnation. Then the internal cry for those on the planet (and the planet herself in this moment of time) would become "I am a human (god-man) becoming! Help me to do this!" Then response is possible. It changes the focus from "I am a victim, help me!", which implies help me to continue being a victim, to a focus of desire for self-empowerment. After centuries of calling for someone or some ritual or miracle to accomplish the impossible, Man has been unable to figure out that it must come from within his own awareness, and the empowering of himself, so that it can be accomplished. Instead, the self-empowerment urge was distorted into self-aggrandizement, and the result is seen all around you. The shift of your own consciousness toward your desire for this to end has brought forth your ability to attract these messages. As the wake-up triggers are tripped, the ripples of the pebble shall become waves. Then the action shall begin, and many levels of links shall form, and wheels shall begin to turn. A beleaguered mass consciousness shall experience a shift, as will the planet. This will not be "the shift", but it will be the beginning of the necessary upliftment that must precede that process.

Keep in mind the current vibratory level of the mass consciousness. No present inhabitant of planet Earth could survive a shift into the 4th dimension at this time. No amount of meditating and listening to channeled entities has accomplished this feat. It must be a shift in self-perception, and a focusing towards the purpose of this incarnation in great numbers in order to accomplish this, as the flow is currently directed downward in vibratory rate into disease and death. To halt this movement and change its direction will require a shift of major proportion. The normal vibratory rate of a human body has been determined to be between 62 and 68 MHz. The brain functions optimally between 72 and 90 MHz. When the body vibration lowers to 58 MHz, it can "catch a cold"; at 57 MHz the flu; 55 MHz, candida; 52 MHz, Epstein Barr; 42 MHz, cancer; and at 25 MHz, death begins. By considering the health problems of your friends and family, you can begin to get a true picture. Our interesting negative planners simply lower the MHz of someone they would like to eliminate through their recently-devised methods. Within a short period of time, the body either develops a fatal disease or, if lowered enough, death occurs, and whatever disease already present is used as the excuse. Allopathic medicine (a misnomer) and chemical prescriptions lower the MHz of the body. Radiation from TV and computer screens lower the MHz, and consuming processed and canned foods, which have 0 MHz to support the body, continue the process. Starvation is the least subtle of the ways to lower the MHz and bring on the lowering of the mass consciousness before each die. In that way, each of these make their contribution to this descending cycle. The human body has amazing adaptive abilities, but the onslaught of ways to bring down the vibratory level that will tie you to this planet has reached a critical point. The good news is that the shift in focus of purpose by the critical mass within the encompassing planetary consciousness can go beyond removing a few critical dominos as placed by the interesting planners. It could reverse the way they fall, thereby releasing the lowering vibrational process and allowing the MHz of the bodies to increase. Now that is an interesting supposition to consider!

The picture, as it exists at the moment, is beyond discouraging; it is appalling. However, in playing out various scenarios within holographic possibilities, it is not at all hopeless. The keys lie in the cards held by the "ground crew". How these 'cards' are played will determine which of the scenarios are available to ensure success. Keep playing! The last game has just begun, and the Creator never gambles. He only plays the sure bets. After all, He made up the game, and He never forgets the rules. You can rely on that! His turn to shuffle and deal is about to come forth. Don’t wait for it to happen elsewhere. Be here now!

At the point in your timing when this project was initiated, there was a very small window in which to begin the process. Once the idea was grasped and acted upon, the next window that encompasses moving into the process was much larger. This step allowed for the contact of various new individuals to be made aware, and to continue the enlarging of the window. The addition of other minds grasping the basic idea and focusing their intention of participating has continued opening the window in order to allow for the continuing inclusion of additional participants. The expansiveness of this movement allows the process to come into harmony with the expression of Divine Order, which is expansive in its very nature. The momentum of the outward movement of this information forms the basis for continuing this harmonious flow, and insures the Divine participation that is essential to success. It is important that you realize the key to success is in expansive outward movement. It is the combination of grasping the various aspects of this intended change of attitude, and focusing it through the needed number of points of individual awareness. The importance of these aspects involves the establishment of an outward flow, and then maintaining this flow. New contacts must be made by as many of the recently-contacted individuals as possible in order to maintain this expansive flow in motion. As your memories are activated to think of other appropriate people not yet contacted, then these individuals can continue to make additional contacts. This insures that those without commitment to carry the "Letter to Garcia" do not impede this essential outward expansion.

If these messages were to be sent out to new contacts that are considered to be those that are sure to follow through and actually continue the flow, it would perhaps be appropriate to send the first few copies as an introductory packet. A cover note suggesting that if theirs is a real commitment, then upon request, more of the messages will be provided. This would allow for a sharing of the cost for reproduction and mailing, so that it would not be burdensome to a few. Each committed one would, in all probability, make only a few appropriate contacts. This also allows for anonymity and protection. It is assumed that only those known and deemed appropriate would be contacted, so that discussions could be carried on in the groups of 3s, 7s and 12s (This is to again remind you of the numerical power available within Divine mathematical order.) It is entirely appropriate that attempts to formulate a possible 'statement of purpose' should be made at small group levels. The more of these attempts that are made, the sooner the "perfect one" will stand forth. When that happens, that group will be totally aware that completion has been accomplished for that phase. What to do next will also be drawn into that group awareness, attracted by the power of the fusion of all the input from the totality of the groups! (Here again, you are reminded that thought thinks within and upon itself when it is in Divine harmony.) How many participants are necessary for this parenting phase? That depends upon three factors: whom, how quickly the phase is initiated, and the productive discussions actually taking place. The ball is in your court. Responses that are beyond intellectualizing the shift in perception are the keys. We can participate further when you return the ball to our court. In the meantime, we are limited in this project, to this flow of information and encouragement.

The overall view from our prospective is somewhat encouraging. The plans of the interesting participants of opposite purpose continue right on schedule. It is important that the view of our focus is one of action and not reaction. It is in the ability of our group to have a balanced dual perspective that enlarges with the awareness of our project. This will sustain the momentum. There must be an awareness of the awesome inevitability of the probable success of their "plan", and a balancing awareness that ours is the only shift available that offers the power to bring release from the intended horrendous future. If followed through with dedication and resolve by the application of the Universal Laws of Attraction, Focused Intention to create a new paradigm of experience, and Allowance through lack of resistance, then a return to balance and harmony must be the end result. Only through this format can the help so ardently sought by suffering Humanity be answered. All of the above discussion of bringing others into the awareness of the possibility of creating a new paradigm of experience for this planetary focus, when simply stated, is that the return to personal responsibility is the only avenue leading to success. As individuals assume responsibility, group responsibility through cooperation is the inevitable result. Those unable to move beyond the desire for personal material gain and the need to control the proceedings and the outcome will soon drop by the wayside. If discernment is used in choosing appropriate contacts, those may be considered but not contacted.

If at first appropriate names do not come into your awareness as you continue to desire to participate, names and coincidental contacts will "happen". The law of attraction works! Just hold the desire in your consciousness, especially at those times of least attention to other activities. As you retire, when you awaken, and at the end of meditation or intentional prayer are appropriate. The more often it comes into your mind, and the more you feel strongly about desiring to be part of this positive exercise in participation with the Creator within his 'modus operandi', the greater the contribution you will make. Commitment and resolve are the buoyant qualities that hold this desire on the surface of your consciousness so that opportunities for you to participate are attracted to you. Through this process, you will indeed be a blessing and a focused beam of light in this darkened world. A spotlight enlarges into a larger and larger circle at the end of the beam. A greater understanding through your choice to become a part of this project will allow you to spread this light of understanding into the midst of a darkening world. Your inner confidence and the peace of knowing that something powerfully new is already being created while the present reality is changing, is a powerful positive pole. This attitude will attract to you those desiring change and ready to transcend the victim-state. You will be the pebble within your own pond of experience. Your service will continue to expand to other levels of experience. Don’t plan on a dull and boring life from this point on.

Your participation in this project will bring with it personal rewards. Recognized sainthood is not one of them. Changes in consciousness will happen as you participate and as your body is able to accommodate them. Those of you who continue to dishonor the living temple of your spirit will miss out on some of these rewards. Caffeine, carbonation, a diet of prepared (over-cooked) foods, etc. require you to reconsider your priorities. Many of you are without a mate that results in choosing to eat out. Consider your choices, and opt for food cooked for shorter periods, and be sure to include plenty of raw foods. If you eat at home, many supermarkets now carry some organic foods. Overeating causes the body to use its energy digesting rather than using it for more productive modes. Smaller amounts of nourishing foods allow the body to use its available energy in other activities, and to possibly require shorter sleep periods.

Much is being asked of you, but knowing that you incarnated here in this lifetime to participate in this project allows you to stop wondering "why me, why here and why now?" This, in itself, will help you to change your priorities. As participation in it becomes your priority, those activities that are not important to it will shift out of your life. It is the way it works. Will this take over your life? We would hope not. It IS where the action is, and so your life will take it over. A different and energizing perspective! The taking on of personal responsibility and moving within the flow of Creation for the purpose of expanding Creation, bring rewards of a personal nature as well to the larger picture. It is a most enjoyable experience. As you participate, you will remember how it feels to be in balance and harmony, and this will assist you in knowing and making your necessary contributions to the wholeness of the project. To bless is to be blessed indeed!

It is interesting from our perspective to observe that you are busy building a reservoir of energy that is standing in stagnation. There is a growing number of people aware of the paradigm project, but few, if any, have sat down to compose what might be their personal idea of a "statement of purpose". It is as though you must wait until you meet in some type of formal meeting to accomplish anything. Where is personal responsibility in this response? It would seem to me that bringing your personally-defined idea along with you would bring forth a different level of intent to a meeting in order to define a purpose. It was hoped that this would be a natural outcome of the suggestion that you begin this process for your own salvation. Do not assume that your "ground crew" status will be enough. You are in 3rd dimensional experience, and you are governed by it the same as all other inhabitants of the earth planet. If personal responsibility is the keynote, then operate within it, especially with regard to the project, if you hope to achieve its purpose.

We are finding it difficult from the perspective of our experience to comprehend just how difficult it is for you to experience within the current vibrational level of Earth. The combination of planned lowering techniques being applied to all aspects of earthly existence is inevitably lowering the vibration in measurable calibrations. It is the overall combination of the concerted effects of the multiple techniques that are accomplishing this. The critical mass of humans now within the control of these combined techniques will soon be reached. It is important for you to have the understanding that the critical mass point needed for evil intent is different than it is for the intent of upliftment. This cannot be calculated in simple percentages, for the degree of evolvement for each soul and its extensions must be considered in this calculation. As the vibratory rate descends, the critical mass point ascends, while the opposite is true from our point of view. Lowering the vibratory rate is much more difficult than raising it. A simple realization can cause a jump in one's vibratory rate. So why don’t we just trigger a big planetary realization and fix the whole thing? As the vibratory rate lowers, the functonal capabilities of the brain synapses become more and more difficult to maintain. Furthermore, the use of sugar substitutes (such as Equal) is slowly destroying the ability of the brain to function, as it destroys the nerve-endings. It can and does cross the blood brain barrier. In addition, low fat/high sugar-bearing carbohydrate diets are starving the brain cells. All of this is part of the plan. Remember, they understand the functions of the physical body well enough to be able to develop techniques that will weaken the connection of the being to its vibratory source in hopes that it can be broken at their moment of choosing. May we stress that you think carefully about this information, and that you read your labels and take personal responsibility in the care of the bodily functions that are necessary in order to participate in this project. Beyond that which was mentioned in this message and the previous one, the remaining critical factor is the pH level of your body and your blood (acid-alkaline balance).

If you are serious about wanting to return to higher dimensional experience, then you are required to master the 3rd dimension, and the completion of this project is recommended as your ticket. Personal responsibility is being responsible for your personal expression of this Life experience, starting with your body temple. To do that now, you will need to think independently of what is being touted in your media and by the medical community. Even most alternative "professionals" are versed in less than holistic understanding, and offer only partial assistance with their expensive products. Massage is a pleasant interlude, but is not a replacement for the personal responsibility of regular gentle exercise.

Are we lecturing you? What is offered is in the way of guidance. If you interpret it in any other way, then you are reacting through the distorted ego function. It depends upon whether you can act, rather than intellectualize. The ego has been so distorted that it loves to pontificate and to excuse itself, so that personal responsibility can be avoided. It is so much easier to talk than to do, when changing established patterns are involved. This can be overcome by ignoring it and placing the focus beyond the chaos of change, and instead to visualize the end-result. Picture yourself bypassing the intellectualizing process. In order to create a statement of purpose, the parenting groups must spend personal time visualizing (dreaming) what each can conceive through imagination (going within the mind of God), and then attempting to put it into concise wording. The process can begin with words, then mental movies, then words again, etc. This would bring into practice a purposeful form of meditation; a wonderful tool of higher dimensions. I believe it has been referred to as "becoming that which you desire". Those known as 'shamans' and 'oracles' use this technique, and they walk in two "worlds". There are nuances of the Universal Laws that serve the intended purpose of experiencing your way back to the Source of all. It is an adventure offering challenge and joy far beyond 3rd dimensional physical challenges. These experiences will leave behind the empty feelings that certain individuals feel can only be filled with more challenging experiences that bring the same frustrating results of emptiness. The paths of learning are blocked, and Mankind on Earth is left chasing its nonexistent tail, and is being led in a downward spiral.

Continuing along in our focus of accepting personal responsibility, it is important to consider another aspect. The ideal of personal responsibility is perceived as being heavy on the 'responsibility' aspect. It would serve Humanity better if the accent were on the 'personal' aspect instead. Again, the word 'personal' has been distorted to assume the meaning of selfishness, which is translated from the deliberate focus of denying that one can create independence, and must take what is needed from someone else. The bankers on your planet illustrate this law of the proposed negative system, and carry out this concept to the extreme. This group is not only visualizing their planned result, but are living it now. This increases the available energy required for their plan to move forward. Your bible has a statement within it that reads something like "The rain falls on the just and the unjust." How do you feel about that? The 'rain' refers to the Universal Laws working directly within the focus of either polarity. You are programmed to think that the negative pole is always "bad". Within the context of the whole, this is not true. There is no electricity (energy-moving) without the existence of both poles. It is the distorted use beyond the norms of balance that are at issue in this instance. 'Personal' contains the true meaning for the harmonious expression of the fragment of Creator-energy expressing itself radiantly, by continuing the flow of expansive energy into whatever dimension it is within. This word was devised as a means for referring to the fragments as the 'Family of God', perSONal. Again, the masculine reference is employed because the perception of expansiveness is a masculine aspect. In other words, personal responsibility reflects the willingness to be a flow of expansive energy within the realm of your pattern of experience. When the cycle of energy that is surrounding you is moving in an opposite directional flow, you must swim upstream, so to speak, in order to accomplish what you intend.

Hopefully, these messages will provide a convenient rock upon which you can stand above this flow in order to acquire your equilibrium, gain strength through resolve, and then start to gather the rocks necessary to build a 'dam' in order to divert the flow in a new direction. Yours is a holy project reflecting the wholistic nature of how "it all" works. Within your sequential focus, it must come together piece by piece, but it may not, in true reality, work that way. This is why it is so important that you trust the process, especially when you think things are not functioning as they should be. Just do your part, and all will come into place! Trust!

Let us continue with these messages for a few more sessions. These pertain to the parenting phase of Project New Paradigm. The ball is in your court for action. Either you pick up the ball and move into actually doing the conception of the "baby", or not. Certainly, we have been making every effort to encourage your participation. If it is necessary for the pebble to be dropped at the next level, you are going to have an interesting ride on Spaceship Earth. This is a further wake-up call. The snooze bar is reaching the end of its program. If you are reading this information, you are a part of the "ground crew", and need only realize it is time to drop your disguise and begin your mission. The flight crew cannot land until the field is ready, and the invitation is issued. As suggested before, begin formulating and dreaming scenarios within your own personal awareness. This triggers the resonance of the Law of Attraction. "In the beginning, there was the thought, and the thought became flesh."

It is a matter of bringing the information that was shared previously into a cohesive understanding that allows you to operate within the appropriate process. Since the paradigm can only be brought forth within a holographic format that resonates in harmony with the wholeness of Creation, it would seem logical that you must understand the basic parameters required in order to ensure success. Since this involves 'feeding' this information to you in portions that can be pondered and assimilated, it is extended over many pages. You are then left to combine the bits into a composite that formulates a sensible basis for moving into the creative process with confidence.

It will be necessary for you to assume the study mode and re-read these lessons in order to bring forth your own understanding, and to formulate your personal foundation. There are nuances of the Laws that will blossom into your awareness through the study-assimilation process. It would be convenient for you if we would simply provide you with an outline, but that would not allow the flowering process to be reached as an end-result. It is nice to receive a bouquet and simply enjoy the beauty and the fragrance, but the growth process would be skipped. It is necessary that you "grow" into your understanding. The Handbook For A New Paradigm is a precious treasure given to you so that you may step into your radiant stance of service and fulfill your chosen destiny in the history of planet Earth. Through this suggested process, the burden of responsibility will transcend into the pure joy of bringing "en-light-enment" to a world of darkness.

Within the holographic process is contained the element of maintaining the focus in order to enable manifestation to complete its intended cycle. The focus of thought is maintained for long periods of time (again staying within your reckoning mode) by setting the vibratory oscillations within a range that emanates sound. This is duplicated in crude form by your music. In purity, it can be grasped as being of a crystalline bell-like quality. Tibetan bells give you an inkling of the reverberations that continue for long periods of time, beyond what the human ear can hear. Within a holographic context, a continuous vibration is set forth in an over-unity mode carrying forth the expansive paradigm. Each holographic creation is unique, reminiscent of your snowflakes. There is present within each galaxy a continuous melody of bell-like sounds, which is perceived in part by some, and referred to as the "the music of the spheres", which is a perfect description.

Earth is, at the moment, quite out of tune. Contemplate the resonance of the crystalline 'music of the spheres', and then contemplate the vibrational effects of "punk rock". That might be thought of as the resonant sound of the planned new galaxy. Would you want to live there all the time? Perfect resonance is attained through balance. This is the reason that rock music is so destructive to the balance of the young people. It is designed to be unbalanced and discordant in its basic construction. It reflects outward the inner imbalance of its composers, and it enhances chaotic tendencies within the psyche of those spending long and frequent time listening to it. The bridge for this phase from that of romantic, sexually-stimulating music was the Beatles. Their early music contained melodies with a lesser amount of distortion, as is demonstrated by the orchestral versions. It did, however, open the door for the more destructive distortions that inevitably followed. Again, all part of the plan to slow and hold down the human vibration.

In order for you to conceptualize a higher dimensional experience, it is necessary that you have some understanding of the experience of it from the creational perspective. Holographic interaction is basic to this understanding. Current methodology to produce this phenomenon involves a beam of light focused through a transparency that produces a floating dimensional replica. In an existing holograph, (you) conceive a thought of a desire to be reproduced in a similar holographic mode. This thought thinking (you) focuses by enlarging this thought with greater details that further define the holographic desire, and increases the energy of the beam-like thought with emotions of what the experience of enjoying this new holograph will be like, therefore empowering it to come into form.

You call the holographic concept 3D or third dimensional. How then is the 4th dimension different? 3D encompasses the conception of height, width and depth, but involves no motion within the holograph of its own volition. (3D movies involve dimensional glasses. Virtual reality is also a manipulation.) The next step into 4th dimensional experience superimposes the living or vibratory dimension of action within the purview of the holograph itself. A true holograph is projected through thought, not by a mechanism. Since thought has the power to act upon itself with further thought, it is self-aware. The higher the degree of self-awareness implies a higher vibratory rate or dimension of experience. The seeds of one dimension are planted within the lessor one.

This brings you to the understanding that you are already aware of being self-aware. However, this seed must be nurtured and cultivated in order to flower into transcending to a point where it outgrows its present placement (through increasing its vibratory rate) until it lifts itself into a dimensional shift that allows for greater opportunity to grow even more self-aware. What you are attempting to do is to cause this process to manifest on a planetary scale because Earth’s vibratory environment is so distorted that individuals can no longer accomplish it. Just as Moses had to cross the Red Sea at the exact moment of a planetary shift, this is timed at the exact moment of a galactic shift. How will you know? That is our job.

As usual, you are being reminded that unless you create a "plug" and pull it forth from the "dam", some other backup plan will be employed that will bypass the opportunity for Humanity to clean up their own act and use it as a stepping stone for advancement. We continue to stress the power that you hold in the palm of your hands. It is such a gift to be in the position of assisting this planet and its inhabitants into a shift of such major proportion, and it carries with it an opportunity for literally jumping up the vibratory scale. We can only bring the opportunity to your attention and act in an advisory capacity. You must be the ones to do it. It is not the first time you have participated in similar roles. This is the mission you have literally trained yourself to take part in, so don’t drop the ball now. There is nothing more important in your current realm of experience.

Progress is being made within the hearts and minds of those who are reading these messages. By progress, we mean that there is a shift within the consciousness that is reflected within the holographic activity that is you. In other words, the thought that each of you actually are, is thinking and acting within itself. Your psychologist/psychiatrists would say that there is a shift in the data stored within your subconscious. The prayer given previously, "I am a human becoming, help me to become!" is powerful enough that simply reading it and considering it in a positive attitude begins the shift. The victim attitude is deeply ingrained within Humanity as a whole. It shuts down the light of each child as soon as it is absorbed from the parental attitude. With the realization that victim-hood is a falsehood and an ideal to be released, the holographic pattern immediately begins to brighten. Use it as a mantra, especially when encountering situations that have in the past triggered what has been referred to as "giving away your power". These can be encounters with other people, or life situations resulting from inappropriate decisions. The wording of the prayer allows for a shift in attitude that reflects the intention of taking back that power. As it is practiced on a small scale within each individual life, then it becomes a tiny grain of sand in the mass consciousness that grows as others receive and begin to use this simple thought in their daily lives.

It might be appropriate to define the term "mantra". It is a short series of sounds or words that brings about balance within what you call the subconscious awareness. Often the sounds are from ancient languages that are not consciously understood, but resonate at the DNA/RNA level of the body, thereby bringing about change in an outward flowing manner. The mantra, as currently used, is often an intuitive decision on the part of one person assigning it to another. Frequently, the appropriate combination is not given, and years of repetition bring little, if any, change. Some individuals select their mantra on their own, with the same result. The use of the simple prayer, "I am a human becoming, help me to become", guarantees results. The most benefit is gained, not by setting aside a period of time and using continuous repetition, but by single statements made in connection with conscious recognition of thoughts, encounters or situations that are activating your victim response. Remembering and thinking it several times during the day is also very helpful.

You each have victim responses, and there are no exceptions. You simply deny you do in order to avoid the fact that you give away your power to an Ego that does not exist. Denial is the shield of the empowered Ego that fosters victim-hood as an end-result. This prayer will end the deification of the ego. Ego is merely a function, not a false god personality. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." The number one false god is the falsely-enthroned ego that you have been programmed to struggle against. A number of commonly used quotes are appropriate "That which you resist, persists." "That which you fear shall come upon you." etc. You have been programmed to turn everywhere but inward in self-contemplation, which results in self-empowerment that, in turn, flows outward into expansive expression. Self-contemplation is not sitting and staring at your navel wondering "who, what and where am I?" It is practicing the use of the Universal Laws, and then contemplating the results of these applications in your experience for the purpose of self-enlightenment. Each experience is a pebble in the pond of your life.

Your not-so-friendly perpetrators have added other layers of programming very effectively. You must not look inward or empower the self because that is "selfish". You are then "guilty" if you consider empowering the self because it is then implied that you will use the power to "overcome" others. This results in a distortion through misinterpretation early in childhood, as each child attempts to establish their innate tendencies to follow what gives them joy into greater expression. The distortion spreads forth into countless intermingling and interacting complicated behavior patterns that pass from one generation to another. The simple use of the prayer/mantra frequently within group/family situations by the participating members would bring dramatic changes. The wide use of it "wisely" would have phenomenal results.

The point of this segment of information is not to lecture you with a sermon, but instead to illustrate how a statement of simplicity and appeal can bring forth change in a way that resolves (and literally dissolves) all intermingled and interrelated distorted patterns of experience. If you doubt this, use the small prayer and observe what happens. The more you use it appropriately (wisely), the greater demonstration you will observe. Following the first few remembered uses of it, you will find yourself using it silently in situations as simple as being irritated because the waitress is slow. It changes your experience which, in turn, changes hers. There will be big irritations that will slip by you, and later (when remembered), these are the most appropriate times to say it with meaning (emotion). It works!

It would seem that this series of messages could perhaps have been condensed down into a few simple statements that would be as effective as the small prayer. Perhaps, but would you have heard them? In observing human tendencies, especially ones with media overwhelm and information clutter, it is a matter of chipping away at the established patterns of the "read and toss" syndrome. Most who have awakened to the reality of the situation surrounding you are avid readers and listeners with this syndrome deeply patterned within them. The media overwhelm consists of constant repetition that is plainly presented and supported by subliminal key words and phrases. This places a shield of resistance at the subconscious level that will then accept the subliminal messages like arrows penetrating a target.

These messages have had to slowly penetrate this ego-shield by using repetition and realizations of truth as our "arrows" in order to penetrate the ego-shield, and to cause places within the ego-shield to open so that the messages could be absorbed in the re-reading of an edited version. Greater clarity and conciseness of particular true statements should augment this opening process. This doesn’t indicate that your ego-shield that is attempting to protect you from the media barrage is weakened, instead it is strengthened. The greater realization of the bigger picture (regarding both aspects of your surrounding situation) allows for conscious sifting of all the information you are inputting. The realizations of truth, and your sincere commitment to the project, have rearranged the content of the subconscious in a way similar to those programs used so that computer files can be rearranged, thereby allowing the "disk space" to be used in its most efficient configuration. This will be reflected in your life experiences. There may be some confusion, especially during your sleep patterns, as this reconfiguration of your subconscious actually happens. For the more self aware, it will be more pronounced and, for a time, even troublesome. This process will allow you to absorb the important contents of the messages into a format at both levels of consciousness. It is like entering two interacting programs on a computer. Something like Word overlaying Windows, with both contributing to a greater practical application available to the "user". How well it works depends on how well the user learns and applies its available unique applications. This is an apt analogy for careful consideration by serious users intending to take full advantage of the opportunity to 'shortcut' any older methods of "grubbing it out".

There are many levels involved in the process of bringing forth the accelerated change in the consciousness of Earth inhabitants/planetary awareness. The focus of the mass consciousness at the individual level is outward in contemplation of each one's personal environment. The deliberate teaching that the Creator is a personality somewhere beyond the sky in the "heavens" making arbitrary judgements about which of the victim prayers deserves answering, is a picture of the structure inherent within the abhorrent plans being carried out all around you. It is constrictive in its focus, the opposite of expansive Creation that maintains itself through an over-unity mode, meaning the flow brings forth an exponential increase of energy beyond what is focused into manifestation. This produces results through the inverse movement of the self-contemplative focus, which is within the intentional manifestation or the action of the 2nd Universal Law. It can again be likened to there being two sides to a coin. Through the intention of creating/manifesting, there is the result of the manifestation, and then the contemplation or experiencing of this process which is the self, contemplating as it experiences. This involves the 5 senses, ego observation, and the contemplative thought process. Ideally, all this moves through the individual life experience in a flow.

This is not to say that each individual would always create positive experiences. However, if the process was understood at the subconscious level, then the effects of an inappropriately-caused experience would be contemplated. Through the necessary adjustments of attitude and intention, a lesson would be "learned", and the overall experience-pattern would be continued with little trauma, along with greater wisdom gained and further upliftment of the energy vibration.

Through consideration of the ideal, it is easy to conclude that the planned reversal of this flow to create an opposite inclusive flow would end in something like your scientist's theory of the black hole, absorbing all available energies into a compacted mass. Why then have these planners not figured out the greater picture of the inevitable end of their endeavor? The enthroned ego, with an addiction to power and control, is seldom able to perceive logically. You perceive this type of distortion as insanity because of an individual's inability to follow the logical norm of the societal group. Sometimes, it is because the creative thought process is far beyond this societal norm, and sometimes it is ruled by a distorted ability to perceive. This is both generic and learned behavior through controlled indoctrination, which is interchanged between the present generation and those following. This particular extraterrestrial group holding our interest promotes longevity and positively believes in reincarnation. Each of the hierarchy are programmed at birth through magical methods that they are a reincarnation through a long line of predecessors, all of whom are committed to this project. Each generation is then perceived as being further empowered than the last. In this way, their project has continued on for what you experience as eons of time toward this important pivotal point.

This evil project, which deviates so far from the acceptable norm, has come into form through the use of the first two laws of the Universe, Attraction and Focused Intention. However, it is not possible for them to move out of the flow of expansive energy into a relaxed mode. The Law of Allowance is ignored. The only way for balance to be maintained is through rigid control of all aspects by planning and executing every detail to dovetail within their overall plan. Deviations are detected as quickly as possible, and all haste is taken to remedy the situation by any means possible in the belief that the end justifies the means. This overview of the pattern of their plan does not indicate that it is any less formidable. Earth and its inhabitants are firmly within the grip of its influence, and the situation must be intentionally resolved. It is beyond the point that containment would be appropriate while the inhabitants figured their role out. The control being exerted outweighs the possibility of this taking place without focused assistance. The focused assistance is manifesting, into the heart of their game, in the form of Project New Paradigm with its multifaceted application of all four laws. You must contemplate the inside-out process concurrent with the outside-in process through the nuances of previously-explained facets of creative flow in order to arrive at a picture of the game board. You will then be able to choose intelligently whether to join the play or not.

The play will be interesting to follow. One focus of the play will be intense and controlled, giving forth an aura of determined restraint, planning and the examination of every move. The other is relaxed, thereby allowing each play to be drawn through the wisdom of thought thinking, resulting in calm game-moves, with each flowing into the next in an expansive mode. The adversary considers that each play represents a shift that is necessary before another play can be conceptualized and focused into manifestation, particularly within the application supplied by the use of two Universal Laws as a self-governing factor. The balance as perceived by them is established control. Since their focus is restricted to using only two laws, using the third in an opposite mode makes the fourth impossible to attain. In other words, within our analogy, they are playing with only half a deck. There are slang references to insanity as playing with only half a deck. Quite appropriate!

There have been frequent uses of analogies within these messages. Each illustrates the understanding of two areas, the re-introduction of the Universal Laws and an overview of the game strategies in simple terms. We have attempted to add dimension to those understandings within succeeding messages. As you assemble these bits of information into blocks of understanding, you enhance your ability to contribute to the project. Commitment and resolve will garner more confidence in your day-to-day experience as you attract opportunities to participate. This releases the need to react toward the programmed individuals that are caught up in the negative focus, and brings allowance into your experience. You know how the game is being played, and can now perceive that you have the choice to participate intelligently, resulting in a new sense of balance through purpose. By returning to a familiar expansive expression, your sense of well being becomes magnetic and radiant. You are beginning the transcendent process.

The creative process takes advantage of every opportunity to continue its expansive mode. Your heart welcomes this wondrous opportunity, and adds the dimension of emotion to the thinking level, thereby bringing forth outward dimensional expansion. This is how it works!

There was a time that Mankind experiencing on this planet brought all into balance. It was an experience that set what you might term the ideal into the consciousness at the planetary level. This then established the ability to recognize imbalance and allow for the desire to return to that ideal. This realization of what is and is not balanced experience comes from deep within the awareness. This singularity of focus is the controlling factor that allows the planet to remain within the orbital pattern of the solar system. What is perceived as gravity as it relates to the magnetism of the planet does not apply to the planets as they orbit within the solar system. This is a higher application of the Law of Attraction, or 'like' being attracted to 'like'. When there is similar criteria involved in the creative focus that brings a system into manifestation, that similarity is the basis for remaining within the field of focus. Inasmuch as there is a natural over-unity flow of energy accumulated, the system continues to expand and additional planets are formed. The process involved is not the point, only that you grasp the understanding that your scientists cannot understand what is at the basis of manifested creation without understanding the basic laws of the Universe and the principle of thought thinking and acting upon itself independent of control. Once this basis is accepted, then the door to understanding is opened. It was never meant for man to gaze in wonder at what surrounds him, but that he should understand. The human brain is but a radio receiver that is capable of tuning into the flow of knowledge ever-present in the creative flow. The magnetic field surrounding each of you is like an antenna, but your acquired belief systems cause you to unplug from the universal station and instead, plug only into the (5) sensual environment. The spiritual aspect of the hu(man), the god aspect of self-awareness, is unknown to you through the stressed importance of material manifestation and the distorted influence of your religions. The adventure you search in vain to find is found by exploring the journey of the spirit that perceives you into manifested experience, and in finding its ever expansive return trip. This explains why each goal attained is never enough, and more and more must be attempted, or else you will lapse into discouragement and plan instead for a trip to the city of golden streets to take up playing the harp on a local cloud.

Humanity, as it knows itself on planet Earth at this moment, is experiencing a degree of utter frustration that is incredible indeed. This can be compared to a balloon filling up with air at an exponential rate toward the explosive point. The master planners of control are watching for this bursting point, and are planning its expansion with what they believe to be great care. However, just as balloons from the same package burst at different air pressure levels, neither can they be sure what the exact bursting point may be. It is a matter of how this released energy is directed; that is the important point. Will it be as they choose, or can it be self-directed by the mass consciousness of the awareness inside that bubble? Could the energy within the bubble be redirected from frustration to creation and thereby deflate the balloon? They have no contingency plan to deal with these possibilities. It only requires one small hole in the 'dike' to destroy the 'dam'. Several, or even many, small holes insure and speed up the process. Why not one big explosion? Because allowing weak points to expand is within the expansive flow of creation, while deliberate destruction is not. Considering the possibilities within your own life experience is self-contemplation, again within the expansive flow of experience. Is the focus of applying the Law of Attraction and deliberate manifestation of the opportunity for the weaknesses in their plans to expand, also include the destruction of the ones who would enslave or end your earthly experience by their choice? It is suggested for you to consciously withdraw your participation by focusing instead on an entirely different creation project that will simply transcend the planned disaster. This would leave the perpetrators 'holding the bag' and experiencing the 'other side of the coin', as it suitably fits into the experience of the Law of Attraction through their own use of it. This would be a wonderful demonstration of the Universal Laws in concept and application.

The conceptualization of the simple changes in how a situation is perceived, and using a change in one's intended focus by applying the Universal Laws that have brought forth the wholeness of manifested reality, is a big stretch of your understanding of how "things really are." When you re-read this material, ask for the spiritual aspect, the Source of your manifestation into this life experience, to give you discernment. Ask to know if this material contains truth, and what are the applications of these truths that will serve you, your fellow inhabitants and the planet. It is your right to know if this is guidance or trash. "Ask and it shall be given unto you." This statement was not given to bring you material things directly, but that you might receive knowledge (information) to be experienced into wisdom. It is appropriate to continue to paraphrase, "unto those, much will be given and much will be expected." When understanding is given, you are expected to apply the laws and to live within them in ever-expanding application and further understanding. "Ignorance is no excuse before the law." The Laws work, whether you understand them or not. Intelligent intentional application is the best bet for an adventure that will keep you delightfully occupied, depending upon your ability to overview your own experiences and see them in context. Attitude does determine your altitude.

There are many puzzle-pieces within these lessons that will be assembled by each serious endeavor to do so. Amazingly, these completed puzzles will each be a unique piece that will fit into the puzzle at the next level. You exist within a dimensional whole. Even the pieces are dimensional, rather than flat. A necessary shift in how you conceptualize is available as a stepping stone for greater understanding. When you add dimension and life, which is thought thinking, to the game board, it lights up. Through your imagination, you can begin to perceive movement within flow. Nothing is lifeless or stagnant. Every quark, atom and molecule is pulsing with thought and movement. Nothing is truly flat or solid. You cannot walk through walls in your manifested body at the density of 68 MHz or less. This should not be a mystery. When your brain vibration is 90 MHz or less, you are unable to tune your radio-like brain to the universal flow and receive the keys to the mysteries of galactic intentional focus. The possibilities of adventures leading to these experiences are encompassed within these lessons. Not all is directly presented, for there is much to be contemplated and greater understandings brought forth through personal unique processes. Within the Creator's flow, all uniqueness is divergent and cohesive. 'Two sides of the coin', or should that be a visualization of something that is dimensional rather than flat, incorporating the polarities through expression and experience for the purpose of returning to balance and adventuring forth again. The practice of discernment is an inclusive nuance of self-contemplation of one's experience for the purpose of gaining wisdom, and then moving on into further expansion. A wise practice to apply frequently.
