It Is What It Is

Good evening. You are glowing very nicely this evening. During our conversation this evening, please allow my entourage to move among you, bringing healing, bringing warmth, bringing radiant energy, working with your guides and teachers allowing them to learn. As you receive these voice vibrations on your plane your guides and teachers receive a yet higher vibration on their plane which is instructive and healing to them.

This evening in our conversation I would like to address several points. In our discussion of last week the phrase “core belief” was mentioned in relationship to those things that you hold particularly dear to you. Appropriately or inappropriately you hold them very dear. I should in the beginning point out to you that all belief is a logical left brain function. Faith on the other hand is a right brain function. You may have faith simply because you have faith without the need for explanation or proof. To have belief you must believe in something. It is therefore a function of your left brain. This duality in the way that you respond has resulted in an interesting dichotomy in your core belief.

To begin with you have many generally accepted core beliefs. These generally accepted core beliefs are part of your background. Within the context that you were raised, within this society, those core beliefs would be predominately Judeo-Christian. It does not matter whether or not you accept these beliefs consciously, they have simply permeated your society to a degree that is unavoidable. You may choose to accept the myth or not and it does not matter to the group acceptance of that as a background core belief.

The difficulty in assessing a background core belief is that in your particular society you tend to make physical those things that were designed to be interpreted as spiritual. I would point out to you an ancient example and a modern example.

In your book called the Bible, in the very beginning of that book is a creation myth from the ancient Hebrew culture. It refers to Adam and Eve in a garden. I am sure, because of your backgrounds, that you are all at least marginally familiar with that story. Might I point out to you that at no place in that story is the Source ever a part of Adam or Eve. In other words the Source is outside.

She may come to visit in the garden, but he is not part of it. She may have created the garden and everything in it, but he is beyond it. Your “preachers” of today will look at that mythology as being literal when indeed it is a spiritual allegory and not a good one.

A more modern example based on the same occurrence - your science has detected the beginnings of your Universe and they refer to this with their Big Bang Theory. From a beginning of a small, tightly packed ball of energy an explosion occurred, which resulted in the Universe as you know it. Might I respectfully point out to your science that they have once again made the same mistake as the ancient Hebrews? They have left you as an outside observer. You are a co-creator of this Universe. You are not an observer. You are not someone ignored by God. You are not passively sitting in your seats in the movie theater watching the creation of the Universe. You are of the Source. You are a co-creator of the Universe. You continue to co-create the Universe. Since creation is an ongoing cycle the creation of your Universe is not finished yet. It is not an isolated incident from a mythical garden any more than it is an isolated incident with an over dense ball of matter. It is an ongoing cycle of which you are a part. You co-create the Universe.

Be very careful of a physical interpretation of those things that were intended to be spiritual. Since the beginning of your Universe was indeed a spiritual happening, everything since then is spiritual. Be very careful of a physical interpretation of those things which are spiritual and yet that is the background of your core belief, the physical interpretation of what in essence was a spiritual happening. In your present world there is much of this. In the ancient world there was less.

I have been asked, “De Rah why do you speak to us in stories?” Well, I would like to tell you a story about that.

Thousands of years ago a wise prophet sat around the fire surrounded by his admirers and young children there as students. He described a cycle of life and death by showing how a flower blooms in the desert and maintains its beauty, is then swallowed up by the desert, only to re-bloom. Those dwellers of the desert that surrounded the wise man understood on many levels the significance of this story.

Why do I bring you my messages in stories? Why do I speak to you of television sets and amusement parks and aviaries made from glass? I do this in the best historic tradition of allowing ALL of your energy centers to respond to the story and the vocal vibration that accompanies the story. Rather than engaging merely your intellect I wish to engage your heart, and your solar plexus, and your throat, all of your chakras. I wish to involve all of your energy centers in the response to the energy of the story that I bring to you.

For thousands of years the oral tradition of death-life-rebirth, death-rebirth, death-rebirth, the oral tradition of this cycle was passed from wise man, to wise man, to wise man and shared with students and villagers and tribespeople. As soon as that oral tradition became a written page it secured a place in time and space. As soon as anything is written down it is placed in a time and a space that may or may not be appropriate for it.

You look at that ancient oral tradition and you say, “Oh that’s Babylonian and this written material is Roman.” The manuscripts at the back of this fellowship hall are Gothic. The material I am bringing to you is Modern. You date it and you qualify it. It achieves a place in time and space and yet the modern information being brought to you this evening is speaking of things that are five thousand years old. Where do you date that?

Now let us progress a bit. Let us move a hundred years into the future. Someone reads the oral tradition as it has been written and is unaware of the time and the place, the placement within space. They read this and they say, “Oh, birth is the beginning and death is the end and for some reason or another this author chose to repeat that several times. Therefore it must be important and they must be afraid of death.”

They have turned a circle into a straight line. You read it as a straight line whether that line reads right to left, top to bottom, left to right does not matter. Merely the act of writing it down takes the circle and straightens it out, removes it from the context of the vibrations that accompanied it, and allow for a mistranslation or a misinterpretation years into the future. That is one of the primary reasons why ALL scripture is misinterpreted.

I have pointed out to you that the Buddha did not write a book. Sananda (Jesus) did not write a book. Krishna did not write a book. Those great teachers that came did not write books. Books were written about them, which were then widely misinterpreted. They did not write books.

You however, live in an age and in a culture where you have, as one of my friends would say, “A need to know.” You believe that you need to know about everything and so you take a simple concept and you wrap the cage of your language around it to the point where it becomes unintelligible. You do this for the sake of better understanding. Bah!

Those people who have experienced Source, those people who have felt the love of Spirit wrap around them, find it almost impossible to relay that information within the cage of your language. As they begin to do so wiser, more educated people step in and say, “Oh, this is what they must have meant because this makes logical sense. Besides it fits with my already held belief.”

A question was asked of me many months ago, “What is Source? How do you define Source?” I would like to answer - Source is what it is and you are part of it. At least half of you are thinking, “It is what it is, but what is it?” It is what it is and you are part of it. It refuses to be defined, classified, or caged by words. It is what it is and you are part of it.

Many of your wise scholars would feel that such a simplistic answer is an insult to their many years of learning. So they will explain and define. They will add layers and layers and pages and pages of words, because the more complex the situation the easier it is for your culture to understand it. You are somehow of the opinion that things must be complex to be real. It is what it is and you are part of it.

As we are speaking of language allow me to bring to you yet another story. You are familiar with the story, but maybe not the interpretation. The story from your Bible is about a tower built by men of the plain in order to reach God. According to the myth God destroyed the tower and chaos reigned throughout the world as people discovered they could no longer communicate with each other. It is of course the story of the Tower of Babel.

That is an adequate description of how we view your cage of language. But allow me to explain what this story means, rather than taking it as a literal event, which many people on your world would love to do. It was a tower built by men - in other words it was a structure not endorsed, condoned, or executed by Spirit. It was a structure built by men with no input from the feminine side. It was a structure built by men of the plain, the agrarian men. There is much of that symbolism within your scripture. It was built in order to reach God, based of course on the faulty premise that you had to go somewhere to reach God. The mythology shows this tower to have been destroyed by God.

The tower itself represents the churches, the various religions of the day, which were built by men. The towers themselves were very tall so that all men would come and say, “God must live here.” Since Spirit did not support that enterprise it eventually disappeared. Not in the big lightning flash that your artists have depicted, rather in the slow attrition from people, who in the chaos of the destruction realized that their religion was not giving them the needed communication with Spirit.

This is a story about the churches built by men, for men, that basically exclude Spirit. It is a story of religion rather than one of Spirit. The point is you don’t need to look outside to find Spirit. Religion is a very poor substitute for knowledge, for understanding, and for the empowerment that comes from knowing that the creative life force is inside of yourself, that you are a co-creator in an ever expanding Universe, that you, from the beginning, have helped to create.

You are indeed of the Source. To begin to function as part of the Source we will, in future conversations, discuss how to begin to reprogram yourselves away from your basic concepts and your basic ideas. For now, move from the left brain of belief to the right brain of faith and understand that you are indeed of the Source.

Feel the energy. I would now ask my entourage to return. In the service of love I bid you good evening.
