Chat group and reorientation

A chat group


DeMarco, Frank. Rita's World: A View from the Non-Physical (Kindle Location 2876). Rainbow Ridge Books. Kindle Edition.

(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.
