APPENDIX 23: RECORDED HISTORY AND THE ELITE

Session 1 February 1974

… I have tried to tell you this before.  The experience of the guru who sits in opulence, bejeweled and begowned, has nothing to do with the peasant who works in the field and whose belly is empty.  And so it has been through the centuries.

In your terms, your histories were not written by the people who worked the earth.  They were created by the priests and the elite, who made up their own histories to suit their purposes – to hold down the masses, for reasons that I will someday discuss, for they are important.  Those histories never spoke of the vast, massive emotions and needs of the human beings involved, who listened, because their hearts and their survival depended upon their doing so, to the voices that speak within the earth that your instruments even now cannot perceive.  Those histories did not tell of the human beings who had to know what insects would crawl or fly from one end of a continent to another, so that they could be captured and roasted and eaten.  They did not speak of the human beings who had to know what migrations of animals would roam through their land – and when and where, and at what phase of the moon – lest they starve …

And so those people lifted up their minds and hearts and heard the voices of the earth speak to them, as they still do.  The elite did not hear those voices.  They wrote histories in which in their own memories they annihilated races of people with emotions as strong and as real as theirs.  The elite leave you records and methods, telling you of kings and queens, of gurus and prophets and gods, in whose eyes the masses of the people vanished.  The magic that the people had, those gurus never learned.  They learned techniques, but the techniques did not bring them magic, did not allow them to really hear and understand the voice of one leaf.

So forget all of the histories, my dear friend, and listen to your own thoughts, which are today as alive and vital as those of any man ever born, in whatever time.  Forget the dusty old records and feel your reality in the moment as you are.  In that moment can you hear the insects sweeping across the continents and the voices of the leaves speak, and feel their echoes in your blood – and that blood lives, beyond the time.  It throbs beyond destiny, even as the masses of those people live beyond the beliefs of those gurus.

I return you, as always, to the vitality of your present being, and to the authenticity of yourself.  Do not let me make you uneasy.

(Rob: “… say a group of people chose that type of existence, where their history was essentially obliterated by never being recorded.  Could reincarnational reasons be involved, probabilities, or what?”)

… there is a difference between probable realities and reincarnational ones.  To keep the discussion simple, I will answer you in reincarnational terms …

According to your intent, your desire, and your beliefs, your ideas intersect with the reality that you know, with physical space and physical time – they become real, in historic terms.  A war won here, with a treaty, is not won somewhere else, and there is a different treaty.  Even wars seemingly won here are not nearly as clear-cut as would appear; you make history as you go along.  You use, in your terms now only, the past as source material.  You rewrite it as you go along.  As records are lost, you do not even realize that you have rewritten the past.

It did not serve your species’ purposes at this time to work with the mind – with telepathy, with the feeling for the earth that you have developed.

(To Rob:) Remember the private session I gave you the night before last, in which I told you that you could have developed very well as a sportsman – considering the athletic qualities involved – instead of as an artist or writer.  In this life, however, you used [the elements of] your personal environment as tools for the artist.  The sportsman that you might have been would have used the same tools far differently.

Now in this reality people chose – and I am speaking in very simple terms – people chose to develop in a very different way.  Therefore, that world-probability in which telepathy and clairvoyance would have been common, well-known facts of life, self-evident in any civilization – that probability became latent while the species followed another route.

So that is a very partial hint as to the direction the material will take when I begin to answer your question.
