A chat group

(Q) Charles says
there is a different feel about this material from that in The Sphere and the Hologram and wonders if you guys are in a
different group from my guys. At least,
that's the sense I get.
(A) Try to resist
this idea of groups as if you were talking about baseball teams or street gangs
or professional associations. Think of
it more as an on-line chat group organized around a particular topic or set of
topics. The composition of the group
varies from moment to moment, not only as people drop out or return to it, but
as others are drawn in or released.
If you hold in your minds the fact that outside 3D the
inherent connections are more obvious than they are in 3D, you will lose the
need or the temptation to think of us as a jumble of units, or as marbles in a
bag. We are more like drops of water
than cubes of ice. Our continuity is as
much in evidence as our particular individuality.
So, any given conversation will magnetize a different (and
perhaps continually changing) group. You
may not even be aware of it, but it changes by the moment.
The constants are
Frank on the 3D end and Rita on the non-3D end, but this isn't as simple as it
sounds, either. And in the old days, it
was Rita on the 3D end - and Frank on the 3D end - and "the guys" on
the non-3D end.
The flavor of the exchange depends more on the constants
than on the non-3D components which, as I say, fluctuate continually. The complication is that, of course, the
person or people on the 3D end themselves extend into non-3D and themselves
participate from both extremes to greater or lesser extent.
Reorientation and faith
DeMarco, Frank. Rita's World: A View from the Non-Physical
(Kindle Location 2852). Rainbow Ridge Books. Kindle Edition.
(Q) James Austin
asks: "I'm requesting Rita's insights on ways of living life that help one
turn her words into personal experience ... She speaks of having an awareness
that made her transition to the nonphysical simple and 'seamless'; are there
practices that can help me grow more like that?"
(A) You know, it is
less a matter of practices or exercises - certainly not of ritual or mere
belief without experience - and more of a reorientation of one's being. Like everything we have to discuss, the
explanation of why takes considerably
more than the easy statement of that.
The reason I didn't have to be reoriented as I dropped the
body is that I had oriented myself while still in the body. That is, I did
not come to die thinking that it was the end, or that an afterlife in some
vaguely less physical body would continue life as though I was still in
physical conditions. I knew that I
didn't really know what awaited, but
I also knew that it would be all right.
My last years were a process of letting go of much that I had thought I
knew, but replacing the belief that I
knew with a confidence that all was well, all was always well, which
"the guys" had repeated to us many times.
(Q) In a sense, you
could say you died in faith.
(A) That's true. Not faith in a particular Christian way. Not faith in New Age or other beliefs. Not faith in the descriptions "the
guys" had given us, nor even in the many evidences they had given us of
our own extended abilities, with all that promised. Faith, instead, in that all was well. Faith like a child's faith. All was well, and I could trust: I didn't have to die worrying if I would do
it "right" or would need retrieval or would be "saved" in any
way.
So, to answer the question simply, I would say, practice
living in faith that all is well, all is always well.
Now, maybe your reaction is to say "that is merely
abstract, and of no practical value".
Or perhaps it will strike you as a platitude, or as no work at all. But I tell you - not you, Frank, obviously:
you heard it just as I did, and in
the same way, but for the sake of any who don't yet feel it - this
reorientation will change your life and your being. You will begin to live in a different kind of
world, and it will transform everything.
If you live knowing that "all is well, all is always
well", can you live in fear and anger?
Can you experience that gnawing sense of inadequacy, or the helplessness
of someone trying to steer a raft safely through a cataract? Can you look at politics and world affairs in
the same way?
(Q) I seem to
remember you following politics on CNN every day, right to the end. I couldn't understand that.
(A) The things you occupy yourself with don't
matter nearly as much as the mind you bring to them. I watched CNN, you read about the Civil War
or read mystery novels or whatever. The
content seems wildly different, but the base from which we operated was very
clearly aligned. In just such a way, two
sisters might be much alike in their way of seeing the world even if their
activities and daily lives did not resemble each other's.
The point is made because it is a simple one. Living in faith that all is well, all is
always well is much like making a habit of using the [visualization of a]
waterfall to replenish the body's energy and correct its patterns. It isn't the specific exercise that changes
you; it's more that the change manifests in your exercises, or - more broadly -
in your life.
(Q) ... I'm not
certain our friends will see your statement as an exercise, as a practical
means of change.
(A) Perhaps this will
help them see it. You cannot live your life
believing that all is well without soon coming to realize that you are trusting
your own nonphysical awareness you are allowing yourself to be guided by the
non-3D part of you that has your wisdom and has a broader view of your
circumstances than you can [have]. Can a
lifetime of living aligned with your non-3D guidance not leave you in a good
place when you step off the raft that was your physical life onto the terra
firma of non-3D awareness?
(Q) Michael Langevin
asked a similar question: "Has Rita spoken of how she best prepared her
mind and spirt? An unprepared mind would
not be able to comprehend, though it might observe. I am curious what 3D activities, practices,
skills serve our expanded 3D selves most?"
Have you already answered it?
(A) I am reluctant to
prescribe specific practices - I now see why the guys were similarly reluctant
- lest the letter of it overcame the spirit of it. You can each find your own paths, and one
person's path will be different from another's - perhaps from all others - as your lives and
aspirations are different. What is
important is the polestar.[1] Fix your orientation on the Copernican Shift
from the 3D-self being in control to the larger being, which you participate in
via your non-3D-self, and the job is done.[2] Any ritual or habit or practice that appeals
to you will serve, if it serves to orient you properly.
