Teaching during a Shifting into Your New Consciousness
transformational group
In reference to the interaction in the group between Renee and Nick: Even if it turns out the way a person expresses himself is not coming from a clear or enlightened place, the issue isn't to stop the person from expressing himself, but to explore what is happening, so change can occur.
There is no danger as long as the focus is on exploring truth. What any person says or how he expresses himself does not define or limit truth. It is just a part of the process of exploring what truth is. And no matter what surfaces, even if it appears to be negative, when you get to the underlying bottom-line actual truth, it always turns out to be positive. What can sometimes make this process difficult are limiting decisions* which cause the person to be certain the truth will turn out to be negative, and therefore they do their best to block out the exploration of truth.
Shifting into the new consciousness has to do with letting go of the control, so Divine truth can come into the picture with its power to evolve and transform. People try to control things because they think their survival or well-being is at stake. But it is their awareness of truth that they are controlling, rather than the actual source of the problem. Doing this is actually blocking them from accessing information that would allow them to release the limiting decision* that is holding the problem in place.
Holding on to control can mean actively trying to control things by what you say or do, or by the energy you put out; or it can be by withholding significant information or responses. Either approach prevents Divine truth from entering into the picture.
If something has been triggered (emotionally activated) in someone in the group, this is live material, and you can be sure there is something there worth looking at. It is everyone's job in the group to reveal any significant response they have in any interaction, because each person has a piece in the puzzle that can shed light on what's important for the participants involved or the meaning of the situation. Sometimes clarity comes right away, sometimes a week or two later, as the unconscious has a chance to process the information, and guidance speaks more clearly.
We are in a co-creative process with the Divine. We do our part and then listen for the insights, clarity and guidance from the Divine that brings meaning and transformation. It is an on-going dialog.
When people do something that could be judged as harmful to others -- and the likelihood is all of us have done some things that could be judged in that way -- the issue is never judgment or punishment. The whole point is to learn, evolve and transform. The bottom line for the shift in consciousness is that the world of the Divine is a totally positive world, in which love is really the only truth. My perspective is that every human soul is fundamentally good. And the point is to follow your path the best you can, engaging in the experiences in front of you, sometimes making mistakes, sometimes very large one, and learning from them and evolving forward. Punishment or judgment is never a part of Divine truth or the Divine plan, as they are the opposite of learning, growing and evolving.
*Limiting decisions: An NLP term used in NLP TimeLine counseling sessions to mean unconscious decisions, made in early childhood, that are some form of that life doesn't work, and usually that there is something inherently wrong with you -- such as "I am powerless,""bad,""unlovable;""People can't be trusted," and so on. Limiting decisions are never true. NLP TimeLine counseling sessions facilitate clearing limiting decisions, in order to release the negative patterns in your life that are caused by them.
