558.0. "Messages" by MILRAT::KEEFE (Bill Keefe - 223-1837- MLO21-4) Sat Nov 07 1987 16:54

    The following was taken from one of Bob Monroe's early "Explorer 
    sessions". It relates to the current discussions as well as the coming 
    changes. The earlier version in 418.23 that I entered was a condensed 
    version from the book "Far Journeys", this is a full transcript of one 
    of the Explorer tapes from the Monroe Institute. 
    
    	   	            ==================
        
    	    			"MESSAGES"    
    
    
        Blessed are they who seek me. In seeking me, their long period of 
    forgetfulness is coming to an end. They are awakening to who they truly 
    are - a living part of me, manifesting life and radiating love.
    
        There is much to do. There is much to learn. There is much strength 
    to be gathered. Be aware that all is life. All life is one. You are one 
    within one and you must feel the constant presence of the one who is. 
    Feel with my feeling. Know with my knowing. Bless all creatures with 
    the love we have shared from the beginning.
    
        You have forgotten to look for me, much less to gaze upon my 
    countenance, oh, ye of little faith. There are countless numbers who 
    live in the expectancy of my coming. In truth, I never left.
        Let him who has ears to hear, let him hear, now.
        You seek me amidst your blindness. You look upon me without 
    recognition, You touch my hand and know not whom you have touched.
        You proclaim my name and my teachings as it suits you and the 
    occasion.   
        You were taught years ago to search the scripture and learn of me. 
    You were also told that in the reading of the scriptures you must go 
    deep. In the depths you will find your draft of fishes. 
    
        Awaken, behold the reality of my being that is among you.
    
        I am the earthquake, wind, and fire.
        I am the still small voice piercing the thunderous tumult.
        I am the peace beyond all understanding.
        I am the light that guides all men to the Father.
        I am the love that overcometh all things.
        I am the light that illumines the minds of men. I am the the 
    sustenance of man's soul.
        I am your life and you are my own.
        I am the very breath you breathe.
        We are one in the Father.
    
        Do not despair, I will never leave thee nor forsake the, nor can 
    you truly forsake me, for we are one.
        Let the old way be gone. It must die and its ashes be blown to the 
    four corners of the earth. The new is emerging but you must change your 
    perspective. Do not look for me in the form of a man. The time is not 
    yet. But look for me in the life that speaks to you in your everyday 
    activities. You have looked amiss.
        I have no limitations and am not bound by physical dimensions.
        I defy logic and am beyond your conceptual imaginings.
        I live and move and have my being in all there is. You have sought 
    me amiss.
        My countenance is seen within each face of my Father's creation. 
    Look upon your brother and see my face.
        Bend over a still pool. Do not be deceived. The image that you see 
    reflected is my own.
        Do you not see the truth now?
    
        Fear is an acid that erodes the total man. 
        Fear deters growth of all kinds. 
        Fear reduces the giant man into a pygmy. 
        Fear clouds reason and darkens the soul. 
        Fear has no power to protect itself, but invites the enemy, one's 
    own perverse thoughts. 
        Fear is a parasite, it grows stronger feeding upon the energy of 
    its host. 
        Fear engenders fear and becomes the cause of many illnesses. 
        Fear is of this world, but has no place in the higher reality. 
        Fear thoughts are not to be trusted for they are already 
    distortions of the truth. 
        Live in the realization of us, the light. We dispel all darkness, 
    even the shadowy places. Man does not walk alone. His self made fear 
    convinces him that he is a solitary creature. This is true only if he 
    wills it so. You suffer unnecessarily for we surround you and uphold 
    you. Listen, your instructions are ever present only awaiting your 
    receptivity. Fear clogs the channels. Fear is a form of self 
    preoccupation and limits you to your lower self. 
    
        We speak through the higher octave, the more refined network where 
    data is more easily transmitted. Only the strong will survive and you 
    are being prepared. Call upon us believing. 
        Do you not understand why the word believing was and is used in 
    connection with prayer? To believe emits a strong type of vibration 
    that literally rearranges the atoms in the thought universe, converting 
    it to greater forms of energy that is directed toward and becomes its 
    own fulfillment. 
        Believing is an emotion, an energy, a trusting and an acceptance. 
    Ask and ye shall receive, believing. Seek and ye shall find, expecting. 
    Knock and it shall be opened unto you. 
        Believe, expect, and act upon your belief. Give thanks in all 
    things. 
        Look for us amid your joys and your pains, your fears and your 
    triumphs. We are where you are, where life is, for we are one with all 
    things, with all there is and you are one with us. 
        Believing is the key. It will open your consciousness to the 
    realization of our presence. Together, we can overcome all fear. 
    
        Speak oft with thy Lord. This means nothing more than a moment by 
    moment awareness of my presence within you. 
        Take my hand, my strength is yours. 
        Take my thoughts and let them become your thoughts. My love will be 
    your love bringing purity to your mission, for my understanding and my 
    compassion will be channeled though you as we prepare the way. 
        I have led you before, but now I say, recognize me and become a 
    child of the living God. 
    
        Man has been blind long enough. The new day is upon you. The scales 
    will fall from your eyes. 
        You will recognize me more and more as you move through your days 
    beholding those about you with new vision and understanding as to who 
    they truly are as well as the mission of mine they are trying to 
    accomplish to the best of their abilities. 
        Once you begin to perceive me as the real essence of life within 
    those whom you encounter along the way, you will then understand the 
    emergence of the new heaven and the new earth. It is upon you, awaken.
    
        Ye who truly seek me shall surely find me. Go in peace.
    
        Learn of me. Take within your hand a leaf, a stone, a drop of 
    water, and know that nothing exists that does not contain me.
        Have you not known that I am eternal life and therefor recognize 
    neither the past, present, nor future? Only the now, that is. Live in 
    the now, with me.
    
        You must live daily in a state of receptivity, your awareness 
    sharpened that you may hear my voice. 
        Listen for me and then listen to me, for I am there. My light rests 
    upon you, reflect it to your fellow man in my behalf.
        Perceive me in the sea of moments through which you move through 
    all the days. Listen for my voice upon the winds of time and you will 
    know I am ever with you and there is nothing to fear. 
        Blessed are they who seek me for they have found me.
    
        Lo, I stand in the midst of you. 
        I am the very center of your being. You have only to grow quiet and 
    listen to know that I am here. 
        Your physical senses find difficulty in placing me. Your mind 
    demands scientific answers. If the soul itself cannot be located nor 
    xrayed then its existence is not only questioned but in many cases 
    rejected. You must surely understand the even greater difficulty one 
    would face if he tried to explain my presence with him. 
        Do not doubt the light that is within you. I and the light are one. 
    From this light you will be shown the way.
        Your involvement with me cannot be fruitious if it is only an 
    intellectual acceptance. Strong emotional impulses must be generated 
    within you motivated by your own deep felt desire to communicate with 
    me. This emotional welling fort will bring about your inner sense of 
    recognition of my presence. Then you can accept me as a living part of 
    you. 
        Learn then to sustain your awareness of me in the joy of your 
    discovery. In your joy will come a total knowing, a knowing and 
    interflow of peace and confidence that will sustain you all the days of 
    your life.
        
        Love. What's in a word, especially love? The very word is tired. It 
    is not the word we are interested in but what it represents. 
        Very few in your world know what the word love means or have ever 
    experienced this condition. Some have had glimpses, which in truth 
    would affect the quality of their emotion you now call love, but you 
    have not even begun to know the true essence of love. 
        The difference between man's understanding of love and the 
    knowledge of the true essence of God like energy expressing itself, in 
    full, is comparable with a candle and the sun. 
        Some of you have had moments of exquisite agony as you have tapped 
    the stream wherein flows this God energy expression. Once you have 
    known this ecstasy you seek always to duplicate it. 
        Do not be fooled, you do not love in the true sense. You are merely 
    fond of, for this is the emotion that is commonly accepted as being the 
    basis of love affairs as well as the ingredient that holds families and 
    societies together. 
        Man has stopped to soon. He has convinced himself that what he 
    calls love is sufficient. He is a child, ignorant of the greater 
    consciousness. 
        In simplest form, man must not only love as he understands love, 
    but learn to intensify it a million fold, thereby moving into the 
    knowledge of God energy expressing itself as pure, divine love/light.
        Is it not true that as a result of your own infrequent surges of 
    this love energy, reveal no more than a split second, you react 
    inwardly in a profound ecstasy, moved to such a degree that it defies 
    expression?
        Man says there are different kinds of love. I say there is only one 
    love. This divine love energy cannot be profaned. 
        You ask why man has missed his mark and failed so miserably in not 
    only his understanding but in his use of this condition of being in the 
    love state. 
        So far in man's evolution he has grown complacent with what he 
    feels is a workable solution in developing part of his nature, to love 
    as a balance for all his negative characteristics. 
        At least man has made a step in the right direction, but he is a 
    mere babe at the crawling stage in his capacity to truly love. The babe 
    who crawls does not know what it is to walk, much less to run or to 
    fly.
        Man does not know his potential to love. Until man opens himself to 
    the absolute sweeping power of dynamic God energy, compassionate, 
    health giving, understanding and tolerant in every way, he will remain 
    in his illusion that he is a practitioner of the thing he calls love. 
        This God energy expressing itself is the very essence of the new 
    heaven and the new earth, and one's eligibility is based upon his 
    perception of, use of, and attunement to this rarefied energy. 
        The glimpses you may have had are only reminders, for you know 
    already it is a matter of raising your consciousness and learning to 
    sustain that state. If you will hold longer and longer periods in this 
    glorified state, you will find you little self melting away and a sense 
    of true sonship coming upon you.
        You can only express love in its truest sense by becoming love. The 
    old pattern must be broken. You must die to your lesser self that you 
    may reach out and accept your true identity as a living expression of 
    the love of God. 
        Prepare yourselves to move away from the old and become the new, 
    the new love.
    
        I stand in the light, as you stand in the light. But you do not 
    know of your light. I am here to show you that your light and my light 
    are one and the same. Once you recognize this divine light to be a part 
    of all that is, will you then begin to understand your own relationship 
    to life, to your creator, and thereby to your own sonship eternal.
        I neither slumber nor sleep and you must learn that your soul 
    neither slumbers nor sleeps. Once you realize this, you are aware of 
    your spiritual vitality and wakefulness to your higher consciousness. 
    In so knowing you will understand that I am truly closer than your 
    hands and feet. In this knowing, in this knowledge, we are one.
        Live in truth. Be truth. Live in beauty. Become an artist in 
    living.
        Live in me and let me express you.
        I reside in all space and no space, all time and no time.
        Once you turn and become a part of my reality, all power is 
    restored unto you. This is the power that makes you one with all 
    things. This is the power that will set you free.
        My children, abide in me.
    
    

    I received a copy of this tape from a dear friend.  It has had a
    profound effect on the direction of my life and spiritual development.
    Any further "messages" you would like to share with us, would be
    most appreciated.

I'd like to enter the following message from a metaphysical newsletter 
I receive.  If you think I should put it elsewhere please let me know.
It's interesting...

			  POSSESSIONS
			  ===========

All that is or ever will be is from the Source.  Thus, nothing belongs
to any individual incarnation (that is why you can take nothing with 
you but experience into the higher planes); it is only loaned for your 
use until it is time for it to be passed on to another.  Never mourn the
loss of your possessions, since they are not really yours.  Nothing or
no one can be permanently possessed by another.  Everything is brought
to you to facilitate an experience desired by your higher self.  Live
the experience and let go.

Feelings and emotions are also like physical objects.  They are to be
experienced and then let go.  Do not hoard or try to possess indefinitely
your feelings or emotions.  Live them, then let go and move on to another 
moment.

        a message from helen keller

    	when asked "which sense would you have liked to have that you
    did not....?"
    	she said "I would like to see.... It is so lonely being with
    		 only your own thoughts....

    	If tomorrow morning the sky falls,
    		Eat clouds for breakfast...

	The following is from their brochure:
	"The Explorer tapes are unique to the Research Division of the 
	Monroe Institute. These are actual recordings taken during laboratory 
	experiments with subjects using Hemi-Sync signals to achieve altered 
	states of consciousness. Monitored by Robert Monroe and other trained 
	staff, the "Explorers" visit other time-space realities and energy 
	systems and report their perceptions from these altered states.

	In many cases foreign "third parties" enter the experiments to aid in
	the understanding of their nonphysical world. The Explorer Tapes are
	fascinating. While the Institute makes no claim as to their content,
	they are guaranteed to cause one's definitions and concepts relating
	to our physical reality to be drastically re-examined."
