Brother Love on the Casa; Q&A with Brother Love and Aaron on Working with Internal and External Negativity, and on Healing

January 28, 2020 Tuesday, Brazil

Brother Love: … (beginning few minutes were missed) I love this Casa, this house, that we have built together. I trust this house that we have built together.

The events of the past year have brought forth a lot of negativity; not created it but opened it to allow it to surface. We (Loving Entities) are working to resolve and release that negativity. You who live here have done a miraculous job of holding the high energy and recreating the house of love that this is intended to be. There has always been an issue of stray negativity present here, which must be attended. So often in the cases of illness there is an attached negative entity that is a part of the heart of that distortion. Our work has always been to support release for the highest good of all.

All of the loving entities are still there and able to offer protection. But it’s a bit like a game of dodgeball. You have a lot of people on the outside of the circle throwing the balls hard and you have to keep ducking. There are some beings running between you and the balls and batting them away, but so many balls fly in, inevitably you’re going to get hit by a few.

When I suggested this group intervention to Barbara and Tavis, it was with the idea, really an experiment—not something I think will be a long-term experiment; I hope in another 2 or 3 years it will not be necessary—but an experiment now creating the situation where there are fewer balls being thrown at you, where your forcefields, your energy fields can safely be more open, with far less chance of you being hit by the negative energy.

Certainly, the chaos and any negativity of this past 2 years have deeply impacted the Casa. The Casa is a living organism. It’s a live, it’s vital. And like any living organism it contains some positivity and some negativity.

So, this plan is to bring your energies and intentions together, which is much more powerful than just a few of you going into the blessing room, having the individual intervention.

(I can go slower so you can translate translating into Portuguese… (comments))

The importance here is this is a house of love, the Casa and all of Abadiania, built on this crystal bed to be a high vibration. The Casa is part of Spirit’s answer to the negativity that is consuming the world. We are helping all of you to move into a higher vibration and learn how to sustain it.

This is why we created this Casa. The Casa is a house of love. It is a house of healing of all the bodies—physical, emotional, mental, spirit bodies.

Aaron spoke to you last night of the idea that you are all volunteers. You don’t remember volunteering, but you are volunteers who have desired come into this earth plane and help hold the high vibration; to help this Earth become the Eden was intended to be; to be a place that demonstrates the possibility of love and wholeness, living, expressing and holding that wholeness. Who will come? And you said, “I will! I will!”

Then, you woke up here on Earth. Or, I shouldn’t say “woke up”; you staggered into the earth plane incarnation and said, “What am I doing here? I didn’t agree to this.” I beg to differ— you did agree to this. You are old souls with a deep intention for love.

Throughout the universe there is enormous negativity. The Earth was co-created—Aaron, you would be better to talk about this than I. We have a different background. I understand your teaching, here, and agree I do not have the words that you have as (inaudible).

(Aaron incorporates)

Aaron: Good morning to you all. I am Aaron. So, to pick up from what Brother Love was saying…

The guardian angels of Earth came here to hold a high vibration on it, that it might be possible for Earth to be a true ground of compassion, of loving kindness, of awakened consciousness in this universe and pave the way for this kind of consciousness. I am not suggesting Earth is the only place this happens. It is sufficient that Earth is a place that it does happen.

Thus, Earth has always been a drawing ground for high positive consciousness and for extreme negativity. The ones filled with hatred, the ones who kill and torture and take joy in doing so, they do not exist so much on other planes. Earth is more polarized, and you have volunteered to come here as a ground for positive polarity, for love.

Now, how are we going to train you to do that if there is never a negative catalyst? If you’re completely sheltered and nothing in your life brought discomfort or pain? How would you learn to bring an open heart and love when there are pain, fear and anger? And so, you practice, over and over again through all the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual catalysts that come to you, to be present with these discomforts with love.

Those of us of strong positive polarity, those like Brother Love, Yeshua, of course, and others, they embrace and protect us. But you have free will, and they cannot protect you from your own choices made out of fear or anger. When there is strong fear that is not met with awareness, the whole energy field contracts. Then it’s like the hose that is kinked, and the water can’t flow through it. You are love, but it cannot flow through and express itself when you’re contracted.

So you come to places together where you may practice with the support of others, to remain openhearted and loving, even when there is pain, doubt, fear, and confusion. You begin to remember who you are—the angels that you are. You’ve heard me call you “angels in earthsuits”. You’re clear about the earthsuit. You forget about the angel. You are angels in these earthsuits, and it’s time to let the angels wake up and express! Angels in earthsuits.

But sometimes the distortions and heaviness of the Earth overwhelm. The body picks up distortions. The emotions pick up distortions. Karmic distortions are created. Note I say “created”; you aren’t born that way. The essence that you are is entirely free of distortion. You are allowing distortion to peel off, like the sunburned skin flakes off, showing the smooth, perfect skin underneath.

The Buddha spoke of the value of sangha, spiritual community. Here, as at the retreat centers where we—Barbara, John, and I lead together— lead retreats with a highly positively polarized guidance, you come together to gain support from each other.

So, speaking of this first with Brother Love, who is an intimate part of the Casa, with Yeshua, who is an intimate part of the Casa, and also with Barbara and Tavis, a strong feeling arose that it would be supportive to have you come together, each holding all of the group in your heart. Each holding the highest intention, not just for this group but then expanding out from this base to help the Casa restore itself to that which was intended.

You are all clear on the high positive polarity of Dom Inaçio. There was never any intention of a place to create harm, but there was also the intention to allow free will, because to not allow free will, including the choice to harm themselves, is a doing of harm. We cannot take away your free will.

So, we come back a step to a more enclosed, supported environment to help you remember who you are and allow, right here, each of you in your own hearts, to be the ground for positive polarity. To wake up and remember, “Yes, this is who I am.”

Certainly, there are hundreds of others here at the Casa who are also that ground. I do not deny that. But we can’t invite 200 people here into the pousada, and we also can’t suggest they all come together to have a more sheltered intervention experience at the Casa, because we have no control over that. So, we can offer it here. And you are free to avail yourself of that opportunity, or not. I do not suggest it would be dangerous to have the interventions at the Casa. I am only saying we can protect you well and help with the work of the intervention here in a supported environment.

Brother Love, is this sufficient background? Do you wish to speak again?

Brother Love: (reincorporates) So, I’m back…

I love this Casa. I had a part in its creation, and I love this Casa. And I will always support this Casa. I love each of you. I love you. I cannot protect you from your free will choices; I can only suggest, “Maybe go this way. What has you going that way to fall off a cliff?” I can’t say, “No!” and grab you, I can just say, “There’s a cliff there—be careful. Come this way.”

In part, I am just curious to see what happens, if we try this group intervention experience here, which was always so powerful at the Casa when there was a group supervised by hundreds of entities and drawn together by Medium Joao, strong positive polarity that served as a forcefield to prevent negativity from coming in.

Yes, all the positive entities are still here. So, you ask, why is that not enough? There is more negative energy hovering around. Through the recent years, more and more negativity has been here. It has free will. We cannot say, “Get out!” We can only offer love as a force field that creates discomfort for negativity; as it were, a group of entities formed in a circle around each of you, protecting you. But there are many people, even with just the 40, 50, 60, 100 coming through in a day. The challenge is that even if we protect each of you individually, we cannot bar negatively polarized entities from the Casa. They have free will. The only thing that will cause them to leave is a higher vibration.

You come to the Casa for help. Now the Casa is coming to you for help. Your higher vibration, your love, is the way of saying no. No to negativity that comes through here, saying, “No, this is a place of light, a house of love. You are invited to go elsewhere.” If we ask them to go elsewhere, are we not simply releasing negativity on the world. The world is already in balance between positive and negative.

You are saying to them, “This is a house of light. If you do not choose to exist in this house of light, you are free to go. Or you are free to stay and learn about light and love and allow your own true nature of love to reveal itself. To shift your polarity to love.”

Each of you has the opportunity to do this in service to the Casa, and in service to the world, and in service to the universe. As for the rest, having (the) intervention here, when Barbara and Tavis first spoke of it, I said I thought it was a good idea—an experiment, let us say. I think it will lead to greater safety for you and greater possibility for the results that you wish, that you can be both more powerful here as a loving and light-filled group and less—Aaron, what would the word be?—vulnerable to negativity.

This is certainly not a statement against the Casa. Like any other creation on this Earth, it goes through periods of growing pains. The Casa is in one of these periods of growing pains right now. It got tangled in a good deal of negativity. The light and power of love that are its base never left, but they were obscured a bit.

My intention is to do everything in my power to keep this Casa, this house of love and light, alive as a strong force for positive polarity in the world, a strong force for healing in the world. I am deeply committed to this. I will never abandon that commitment.

The Casa itself is the ground, the high-vibrational base, and the human and spirit sentient consciousness. When you work in the mud, you come up expecting your hands and your clothes to be muddy, and then they must be washed, the soil released. That to which the soil attached remains pure and beautiful. Thus is the essence of the Casa

We are in a stage, now, of inviting the support to release the distortions so that the innate radiance, power and beauty of the space can come alive fully in the world again. There are many entities deeply committed to this work—myself, and many others. So the question is, how do we say no to the mud that has gotten spattered over things?

Each can only say no from their own heart, a ‘no’ that never comes from disdain, from hatred. A ‘no’ that only comes from love, the way you say no to a child that goes too close to the fire. You don’t let the child wander into the fire to burn. You honor the child’s free will, but you place a fire shield around the fire.

The Casa is at that point where, as more positive energy is invited and recognized and blessed, and negative energy is told, kindly, “No, not here,” the Casa will have the ability to rekindle itself into the house of love for which it was created.

Q: My experience is, I get to choose to what I attune to. Is it the human level or is it the high entity beings of light that I’m attuning to?

Brother Love: But you are both! All of you are both. You attune to it all. This is what Aaron spoke of last night, this bridge. Being fully the high level—Aaron calls you angels in earthsuits—being the angel. But the angel cannot just hover up there without getting its hands dirty. The angel needs to come down to Earth and be willing to experience the soil of the Earth, the human emotions—the sadness, the confusion—and not be contracted in self-identity with them. Aaron can speak about this better than I can; he is a master of this topic. We and you each have your own areas of mastery. But you heard Aaron speak yesterday about this. He will be glad to speak about it more. But daughter, I want you to understand you are always both, and you have the ability to attune to both. This is the compassion that allows the human to grow, because the angel in you has compassion for the human. The angel in you does not condemn the human, with its sometimes-confused perceptions or choices, but feels enormous compassion, and yet is willing to say, “No, try it this way.”

Q: I do not know what it means to say no— to whom or to what? I do not relate to that. I experiment to have a clear intention of choosing the light during the Casa work. I choose to be with the higher beings of light. It’s an intention. I don’t know how to say no, but I know how to set the intention to be with them, instead of being <down>. Welcoming the shadow.

Brother Love: Yes! I’m going to give you Aaron back.

Aaron: I am Aaron. I speak to all, not just Q. You are all light. That is your essence. You are light. You are made of this material of angel, of awakened mind, of love. Because you have been given free will, have chosen to incarnate on this plane of free will, and chosen to experience physical, mental, and emotional bodies; they are a part of you. The physical body is subject to decay. The emotional body can run the gamut from fear and hatred to unconditional love. These are the clothing of the human. The mind or mental body can jump all over the place.

If you are not essentially light and love, if there were a duality—let me take a step backwards. If the Earth were a dual world where we were trying to create love, if love was a conditioned object—in other words, if love only arose when certain conditions were present so we had to create love, it would be very different.

My perception—and you do not have to believe me; this is simply my perception, the way I experience it—is that you are love. Not that you are capable of love—you ARE love. The window glass is made to be clear, and yet it can get dirty. When you see the dirt on the window, you do not break it out and install new glass, you wash the windows because you understand that clarity is the nature of the glass.

There is no duality; there is only light and love and a relative absence of light and love. The human work is to address the conditions that lead to the absence of light and love, and from there to delve into the more severe physical and emotional distortions. The essence of you is perfect. As Aaron, in my final lifetime, I came to the realization of my innate perfection and that everything else was just surface that could be washed off. And so I came to know who and what I was. Yeshua, whom I think will want to come in and talk to you shortly, understands the same thing from a slightly different perspective, so it’s valuable to hear him talk also.

As the human, I stumbled. There was anger; there was fear; there was pain; I stumbled. And then I woke up; I saw I was not these outer clothes. I was not the emotions. I was not the physical body. I am this essence, this awakened consciousness so strongly filled with love. This is who and what I am, and everything else is just mud splattered over.

You can take the mud personally and begin to identify with it, as many of you do. “I am the angry one. I am the fearful one. I am the unworthy one.” And so forth. “I am the blue one. I am the gray one.” These are just outer attributes that come and go.

A major purpose of meditation is to begin to know who you are when you are no longer so deeply identified with all these things you have thought you were. However, when you come out of the meditation, you forget. So, practice again and again and again coming back home and remembering, “Who am I? What am I?” Then we come back. The human stumbles, and there’s a brief moment where, let’s say strong anger starts to come up. You want to punch somebody. You want to scream in somebody’s face. And you stop and you say, “No, I am forgetting, I am love. There is a better way to express dissatisfaction with negativity in my surroundings by speaking from this heart of compassion and saying no, you may not do that.” Love says no, not anger.

This is the big shift for the human, and this is a reason why we practice the mindfulness meditation, so that one is aware when one is shifting into that kind of negativity, “Oh, feeling filled with impatience, with greed, with jealousy, with shame. These emotions arose out of conditions and they will pass away. They are not me, but I am responsible to take care of them, to watch them and help them release themselves so that the pure glass shines out again.”

As I see it, there’s no friction between the divine angel and the human except in the mind. The old conditioning of the ego that says, “I need to fix this. I need to fix that.” There’s nothing to fix. There is nothing to fix, only to come home to the truth of what you are, and to learn how to speak and act from that truth.

This involves all the bodies. So, at the Casa where there is physical healing, you are coming to the truth of the physical body at its highest vibration and purity, expressing its innate perfection.

Q: I feel like you and (the questioner) are talking about two completely different things. I hear her, who has had a great deal of experience, way more of all of us put together, at protecting herself in the Casa, before and now, both before Joao left and now, and I think she is saying she is able to do that by choosing, with the backlog of all of her experience doing so, the beings of light.

Aaron: I agree, I think that’s what she’s saying. But I feel there is a subtle exclusion of the human—no? Not excluding?

Q: Not especially this year, with the shadow work I have been including (in her life).

Aaron: Yes, I know you have, because you are part of the Dharma Path class. So, the words that I got from you were that you were confused about how to bring them together. That you were either in one place or the other. And all I’m saying is that you are always in the place of light. And sometimes there is a little shadow, sometimes a lot of shadow. But that doesn’t remove you from the place of light. The deeper you are grounded in that light, the more you can include that light in the way you relate to the shadow.

If I am confusing something you’re saying, if you have a different question, please ask me…

Q: …By giving attention to the negative entities, we give them strength. And I feel we need to give attention to the beings of light.

Aaron: I agree with that completely, except that there is a difference between paying attention, being aware and honest with the experience of negativity, and moving into the ego self that says no from the ego place. When love attends to negativity it does not give negativity strength. It simply says no. It holds the power of light and of love as a forcefield in front of negativity. But there’s no fear involved in that confrontation, only love and deep commitment, because negativity is suffering terribly. And out of love and compassion we say no to it.

But as soon as there is contraction and fear, and the ego comes in, any story of “Me, I have to stop this,” then you give negativity power. Because what negativity wants is your contraction and drawing into the ego self. Does that make sense to you?

Q: The fear… (words lost)

Aaron: So, how do we relate to fear in ourselves? Fear will come up; you are human. When fear is seen as simply another color of shirt—here it is, this mind/body/spirit are experiencing this emotion at the moment. “Hello, fear, have a seat. Shh! I’m not going to get into a dialogue with you.” Just sit it there and serve it tea until it’s bored and goes away. We don’t have to fix fear. That gives fear power, trying to fix it. But also, to try to ignore fear and pretend it’s not there, and saying, “I shouldn’t feel fear,” gives fear power. But when we rest in the eternal heart of love, fear will still arise at times, but there’s nothing to fix, any more than there’s something to fix if there’s an itch on the arm. Something may have bitten. Just soothe it and release the bit of tension in the skin. We just keep doing that.

Coming back to the situation that I see here at the Casa now, and that Brother Love and I have discussed, there are many people here deeply committed to knowing the divine self and living the divine self. There are many entities committed to that. But there is still an undercurrent of negativity, as there is in all the world. The Casa has the opportunity to be a place where when fear or any expression of negativity is seen, it can be met with that, “Ah, sit and have a cup of tea. But, shh! I will not talk with you. You can watch. You can watch how love functions. I will not be drawn into any negative stories.”

I think the Casa is—I am an observer of the Casa; Brother Love is much more knowledgable about the Casa. I understand his statement that now is an important time to demonstrate at the Casa that, while we acknowledge there is negative energy, we do not have to become subservient to that negative energy. We simply say, “Sit and have tea. Shh! We will not get into a conversation with you. You have no power here. I do not give you the power of my fear and contraction to make you stronger.”

I think we’re saying the same thing.

Q: Is there a possibility that we are able to dissolve negative energy? Not to give it a cup of coffee but to dissolve it? Send it back to the light.

Aaron: You cannot dissolve negative energy, because it has free will. You can offer love. You can hold firmly to that place of divine light and love that is your essence. Basically, my experience is that the heart of negativity is fear. It wants power. It must go through a transition, seeing that power is not obtainable—let me phrase this carefully—that love is the highest power. But it does not yet know how to love. Because of its desire for power it begins to explore love. And then gradually it transitions itself from negativity through neutral and into positivity. But it must come to the end of the road in negative polarity and see that it’s a dead end. Then it must make the shift gradually from desire for personal power to deep understanding of the power of unity, oneness. It then comprehends that there is no real such thing as personal power. When we come into that place of true power it’s because we’re all connected, and there’s no other, just the self in all its expressions, the Divine.

Q: So, can I achieve the possibility that I turn negative to positive?

Aaron: Again, you can transform the negativity in yourself. As you do that and hold the power of this loving essence of being, Father/Mother/Divine, that you are, and present that to negativity within the self and out there, it shows a different possibility to that which is deeply negatively polarized.

That which is thusly negative will move off to places that are more grounded in negativity and remain there as long as it will, until it realizes that this is a dead end. It can go no further than 6th density. It cannot move into 7th and 8th density as a negative being. It’s a dead end. It has to turn around, a complete about-face, find that which is of the One in itself, and begin to realign itself.

(Aaron recommends going onto the internet and looking for LL Research, The Aaron/Q’uo Dialogues.) Q’uo is a highly positively polarized being, a dear friend of mine. For 2 or 3 years we met monthly, Barbara and Q’uo’s channel, Carla, with Q’uo and I discussing many of these questions. I think you’ll find it interesting and helpful.

Q: I think what Q was asking was dealing with her own negativity and fear, and through her practice can she dissolve that?

Aaron: Yes, absolutely. But I got that you’re concerned both about your own and that in the external world. When you say no to your own negativity and fear, it must be without fear of the negativity and fear. Compassion for the human in whom this has arisen makes the transformation possible.

Q: But I don’t feed the negative energy (inaudible)

Tavis: Each time we make a choice out of love and compassion that choice helps to dispel negativity. But if you are trying to fight negativity, that is not successful. You must choose from a place of love and compassion.

Aaron: So each time the habitual pattern of “Get rid of this, fix this,” the little strand comes through, “Oh no, not that,” if we pay attention to that and say, “Shh, it’s okay. Just sit there and have tea.” Just letting it be. Not trying to fix it. Not trying to deny it. But saying instead, “I turn to the eternally loving essence of myself that is capable of holding space for these kinds of emotions.” Eventually they will dissolve. There’s nothing to hold them in place. We have to be gently persistent and do it over and over.

The “have tea” story comes from the Tibetan saint Milarepa. The story is that he was meditating by his fire when the demons of greed, hatred, fear arose. He looked at them, startled, took a deep breath and said, “Ah, I see you. Here, sit by my fire, have tea.” They said, “Aren’t you afraid of us?” He said, “No. Your hideous appearance only reminds me to be aware, to have mercy. Sit by my fire and have tea. But I’m not going to get into a dialogue with you. I’m not going to debate with you. You can sit there as long as you want; you have free will. But I recognize in you there’s nothing to fix. You literally have no power; you are shadow, you are nothing. So, I just let you be. But I don’t try to push you out; I serve you tea.”

Q: I experienced recently welcoming and listening to my shadow, to those parts of me. I saw behind negativity, pain, surviving hardship. And compassion, love, could embrace it. But I had to listen.

Aaron: I am happy to hear that. You do have to listen to the negativity to understand what’s behind it, to get a glimpse of the deep fear and pain, not just for this human but karmically through so many lifetimes. And then the compassion that is your essence comes forth and it just embraces and dissolves it.

But don’t be surprised if it comes up again, because it’s based on very old habit. Each time it comes up we just repeat. Coming back to a deeper and deeper trust to the power of love to dissolve negativity.

Q: I got it right now. I got it. Listen like a parent, but don’t engage in a dialogue.

Aaron: Exactly, exactly. To recognize it and to sit it by the fire, and no dialogue with it. But to refuse to recognize it is also contraction. So, to keep the heart totally open to the situation, whether it’s internal or external negativity. But to refuse to dialogue with it.

We had a two-year program called Venture Fourth 10 years ago. No internet as we have today. People flew to Michigan and were there for 5 days three times a year. One strong visual memory that I have. We were gathered in a beautiful retreat center on the shore of a lake. We divided into 2 groups. The group who was saying, “My lake! You cannot pollute my lake!”, assuming it might be some undesirable element to them—people of a different race or a different belief. So, they were blocking the lake. And the group that was wishing to come to the lake were trying to talk to them. We did this over several days, watching the feelings of fear and oppositionality. Then we traded places, did the same thing. By the third day of doing this, people found they could not maintain the “You may not come; it’s my lake!” because there was no other there, there was just the self, cherishing the lake and desiring to be in the lake. And all the positioning and fear dissolved.

So much of this work is coming to some understanding of negative polarity as it’s viewed in the self. Seeing what gives rise to fear, to anger, to greed, with compassion so there is no longer any dislike of that, only compassion for it. And seeing it’s still arising out of conditions. I can be patient and eventually it will dissolve. And of course, it does.

Let us take a break here for 10 minutes and then we’ll come back and see what remains to be addressed.

(break)

Brother Love: I think of a friend who had lost the ability to walk. Came to the Casa many times, many trips. Several times the intervention was done to repair nerves and function. But there was not a readiness to invite the ability to walk on one’s own feet, to look at what it meant to be fully self-reliant.

In Current, this was pointed out to this person, “Before you can walk, you must observe who is afraid to walk. What it means to choose not to walk, at some level.” She insisted, “But I want to walk.” I said, “Ah, yes, but you also don’t want to walk.” And she began to laugh and she said, “You’re right.” So, she spent several weeks looking at the one who did not want to walk. Finally letting go, and with us helping, and several interventions, support to release some of that old karma. And finally, she was able to say, “Yes, now I choose to walk.” And then, with the, let’s call it physical intervention, again through several weeks—she was here through a number of months—by the end, she was walking, fully walking. She left her wheelchair here, flew back to the U.S. without the wheelchair. The husband said to her at the airport, “Where is your wheelchair?” She said, “I don’t need it anymore.” She had been in that wheelchair for several years. But she had to do the preparatory steps first, to not just say, “I choose a surgical intervention to fix this,” until the ground was prepared.

Take it step by step. What supports this growth to which you aspire, and what blocks it? What work needs to be done first? With Barbara, I would say with her blindness, she said, “I want to see.” She was asked, “Do you really want to see?” “Yes.” “What do you not wish to see?” And she began to reflect on that which she did not wish to see—the enormity of suffering in the world, and how helpless she felt in the face of that suffering. So, she did not come for one week and have spirit suddenly heal her vision; she was here for many weeks. The first weeks just looking at, what do I not wish to see? Who does not wish to see? This ego self, this self that feels inadequate. Inviting the healing of that sense of inadequacy. Inviting the sense of shame that she could not fix the suffering in the world. Then she was able to say, “I choose to see the suffering in the world. I feel ready to see the suffering in the world, and believe that I can support release of suffering, but that it is not my job to fix the suffering.” Seeing that, then she was ready for the surgery in the eyes that otherwise might have taken briefly and then left, because she was not ready to maintain it. Do you understand what I’m saying, here?

So, the importance to take this step by step. This is a big part of the conversation when Barbara and Tavis and Aaron and I spoke about the plans for this workshop. A big part of it for me was to look together at what supports healing and what blocks healing. Why do some people heal and others not heal so well?

Everybody is constantly healing, but for some it seems like a faster process. Now remember, those people may be very old souls who have worked with this particular karmic issue and its physical manifestation through many lifetimes. And it seems to you that they’ve just come to the Casa and suddenly they’re healed. Well, it was just like the lightbulb that needed a final twist! The power was there, the bulb was good, it just wasn’t quite screwed in tight. For others, you’re beginning the process of laying the wiring. And the wiring must be intact before you expect to flip the switch and have the light come on.

It’s all a process. You are not better because you heal quickly. You are not worse or bad in any way because you do not heal quickly. You are always—when we use the term “healing,” you are always releasing distortion and returning to the expression of the ever-perfect. Always.

Some of you have chosen a, let’s call it a more arduous course content for this lifetime, to approach many different areas of distortion and support the release of them. It seems to go slower because you’re working on this front and this front and this front, whereas for others of you, you just came with the plan, “I want to release this,” and you sail through, more or less.

You are each unique. There’s no, as Aaron would call it, one size fits all. Simply ask yourself, what habitual tendencies do I carry that tend to perpetuate distortion in the body, in the emotions, in the mind? Am I ready to release these habitual distortions? What would it mean if I did not have this distortion? What does this distortion protect me from?

Many of you have heard me raise that question before: what does this distortion protect me from? Am I ready to let it go? And it’s your free will choice. We will never take something from you that you are not ready to release. It has to be gradual to be stable.
