Meta-phoria

For those of you who are not familiar with Daniel Jacobs and the Reconnection, I offer this latest letter as an introduction.  Daniel/the Reconnection  is/are one of the sources which moved me onto the pathway of Transformation a few years ago.  I still to this day am amazed and uplifted by the messages that are presented. And the Reconnection are one of the few channeled group entities which I resonate completely with.

My I suggest that you take the time  (and it will take some time) to read not only this missal from Daniel but to go to the links and read them as well.  I garontee that that you won't come away hungry! Laisez les bontemps rolle'.

Here is the  message:

 

*********************************************************************************************

Hi Friends,

Well......the smoke is beginning to clear (literally!)
from our U.S.
Fourth of July Celebrations....and I find myself
relaxed---following
some nice days off---and basking in the sunlight of
Meta-Phoria. 

For those of you who don't know what Meta-Phoria is
(or
Meta-Euphoria, as I once called it).....it involves a
sustained
TRANSFER OF FOCUS between a smaller context of reality
(a physical
body or personality) to a larger one (a mass
consciousness or world
view).  

If we were merely speaking about a shift of focus, I
would be
inclined to use the expression "Phase Shift,"  which
is something the
Reconnections addressed a long time ago. 

http://www.reconnections.net/phase_shifting.htm

But Meta-Phoria involves something more.  It turns a
Phase Shift into
an INTERPRETATION of VIEWPOINTS which creates a link
between the
microcosm (small story) with the macrocosm (big
story).   In essence,
it illustrates for our individuated Form Ego:  "You
are this, but you
are also THIS.........."

Life as a human being is meant to be simple.  This is
the heart of
living in a Child-Friendly way. 

http://www.reconnections.net/child_friendly1.htm

If our view of a situation isn't simple and
easy-to-digest, it
probably needs a Metaphor.   A good Metaphor is like a
necessary
"enzyme" that is missing from a person's digestive
tract.  If he
consumes certain foods, containing elements that his
body is not
equipped to break down and absorb, he gets a tummy
ache. 

Most of the internal rumblings being felt by humans
today are "tummy
aches" which stem from trying to bite off more than we
know how to
chew (in our Ego Self).   Instead of obtaining some
necessary
"enzymes" to help our digestive process along, we try
to "fake it" so
we won't look silly in the eyes of our fellow
travelers. 

And, by the way, this whole discussion about "enzymes"
and
"digestion" and "tummy aches" is an example of
Meta-Phoria, whether
the illustrations are technically framed as actual
metaphors,
parables, similies, or whatever.  The end result is a
restoration of
SIMPLICITY, and expansion of PERSPECTIVE.

CLEAR YOUR MIND OF QUESTIONS
http://www.reconnections.net/clear_mind_questions.htm

In this newest transmission to us, the Reconnections
are calling us
back to the "blessed simplicity" we had when we were
young and fresh
in the world.  Remember that time?  Back before we had
serious
concerns about responsibilities, expenses, reputation,
or status in
the world?  Our eyes were wide, and our hearts were
full of
wonder.........

Our only focus then, when we were marking out how we
wanted to spend
our day was:  "Does this excite me?"   If it does, I
keep at it.  If
it doesn't, I toss it to one side and move on.  

I was very uplifted this weekend by discovering a
Video of the
Extraterrestrial Bashar, channeled by Darryl Anka.
  (www.bashar.org)
In this clip, he is addressing a young woman about
finding her
excitement.   It's simple, straight-forward, and
worthy of our
attention.  Enjoy!

********************************************

The Key to developing full-on Meta-Phoria (the bliss
of finally
"getting" the Bigger Picture)..........is getting
beyond our
attachments to one particular Ego Entity, and becoming
adept at
inhabiting and accessing ANY and EVERY viewpoint
available to us on
the Game Board of 3D Reality. 

In the beginning, this can be approached through the
Gateway of Our
Imagination. 

http://www.reconnections.net/imagination_golden_key.htm

As we slowly get used to seeing things from "outside
the box,"
Imagination expands itself to Lucid Dreaming, Astral
Journeys,
Channeling Writing or Speaking, and a host of Other
Phenomena.

One of the biggest time-wasters in life, especially in
regards to
spiritual growth, is continually fretting about how we
appear to
"others" in our world.  Perhaps the second biggest
time-waster is
worrying about how we appear to OURSELVES. 

Why do I say this?  Because.......in a Oneness
Concept, the only
reason for a designation of "self," as a separate
entity, would be to
serve as a point of comparison between two beings or
objects in
physical space.  It's like a Directory in a Super
Mall, which reads:
"YOU ARE HERE."   But really............you are
EVERYWHERE, aren't
you?  One with all. 

http://www.reconnections.net/anything_everything.htm

But if we wish to find out what life looks like from
one specific
point, there must be an in-the-moment HABITATION of
that point,
coupled with a survey of its  surrounding points, so
that perception
can be achieved. 

THAT'S IT.  We drop in for a "moment," check out the
scenery, and
shazam!  We're outta there.   The Reconnections refer
to this
"habitation point" as a DIMENSION.  For more info on
Dimensions,
please refer to this link: 

http://www.reconnections.net/multi_me.htm

This is a bit of knowing that seems to get lost in
those mountains of
self-help and self-image books that scream at us from
their shelves at
Barnes and Noble.  Though they may contain insights
that could be
useful, they are part of the Separation Game, and we
are moving
beyond that now.   

In this context, a "moment" could last 70 or 80 years.
  In the
Multiverse, all time is illusion.  Everything is
happening NOW.   But
Time and Space can be USEFUL illusions if they help
give us
perspective and insight. 

Metaphoria can be a foundation for thinking and
seeing, which serves
to ground and focus entire streams of "ideas" passing
through our
heads each moment.  Or it can be a Stairway to Heaven,
helping us to
rise up out of the muck and mire of Earthly cares and
fly free, just
like an Eagle or a Hawk.

Need a quick trip?  Here's some goodies for today:

In that latter song, Sara's reference to the "Arms" of
the Angel
originally referred to drugs, helping weary rock
musicians to escape
lonely hotel rooms following a concert.  But in a
Meta-Phorical
sense, they represent the two "sides" of our human
brain coming
together (balancing) to lift us above polarity into
Worlds of Oneder.

http://www.reconnections.net/excerpts_neutrality.htm

Or if you want to shift the analogy to those adorable
shiny red
shoes, worn by Dorothy, as she wandered around
Oz..........we could
say that clicking them together would also represent a
reconnection
of the right and left brain, so that our perceptual
framework shifts
away from Separation and takes us "Home".......which
is at the Heart
of Everything. 

And if you haven't yet watched this stirring account,
by
Neuro-Scientist Jill Bolte Taylor, about her own
Reconnection
Experience, here is a link that you may find most
enlightening!

DANCING WITH SHADOW
http://www.reconnections.net/shadow2.htm
http://www.reconnections.net/shadow_dance_party.htm

Finally, if we want to attain a true sense of
Meta-Phoria in daily
life, we will want to learn to use CONFLICTS WITH OUR
"OTHER" as
springboards to expanded insight.   The way this is
done is through
honest organic response to our
surroundings..........letting through
whatever natural reactions are there.  This blows the
"charge" off
our nervous system, and allows for clarity of insight
as we move to
the next phase. 

When I say that we allow ourselves to "respond
organically," I don't
mean that we poop our pants or throw up all over the
person we feel
is offending us.  Kids do this, but only because they
don't know any
alternatives to use at the time.  One of the
advantages of being an
adult (a big, socialized child) is knowing what
resources and
recourses we have for keeping life's "furniture" in
tact while we
figure out what message our inner self is trying to
give us!  

Someone once said:  "Before you criticize someone, you
should walk a
mile in his shoes."   Facetiously, he added:  "That
way, when he
realizes what you've said, you're a mile away and you
have his
shoes."  

The Reconnections take things a step further.
  Following the
admission (to ourselves) that we have pain and
confusion within us,
they enjoin us to STEP OUT of the Ego Structure we
have become
accustomed to thinking of as "me," and leap over into
that Ego
Structure which is offending or attacking us, First
Person.  If you
haven't yet reviewed the material on "Levels of Self"
in 3D Space,
you may want to do so now. 

http://www.reconnections.net/levels_of_self.htm

When you arrive at the center of your "Other," it's
probably going to
be dark in there!   To remedy this, you're going to
want to light a
"match."  The way to do this is to MATCH everything
this person is or
has with the Ego Structure you used to inhabit.  Ask
yourself:  "What
things to this ME and THAT ME have in common?" 

This is called TAKING A SHADOW CHALLENGE, and it's an
exercise we
developed years ago when we used to have heated
debates in the Recon
Forum. 

http://www.reconnections.net/shadow_challenge1.htm

If the first "match" gets dim in your mind, and
darkness threatens,
you can light a second one.  Try MATCHING everything
this person is
saying with experiences you remember having (in this
life or
another).  If he's angry, take a moment to reconnect
to all the times
in life when you were angry, furious, ready to kill! 
At the same
time, stating a simple observation can begin your
Shadow Challenge
process:  "Hey man, you sound really mad.  I've
certainly been there
before."   After saying that..........LISTEN to HIM,
rather than
formulating your own argument or defense.  

And above all.......forget about right and wrong!  Go
instead towards
RIGHT AND LEFT.............bringing together both
sides of your brain.
Click those red shoes together, Dorothy.........until
YOUR
neuro-system entrains itself with the neuro-system of
this offending
person. 

When it does, you know what will happen?   He will
cease to be
offensive.  Your energies will align, because you will
have attained
COMPASSION.   As one very alert Star Kid explained to
me on the phone
this week:  Compassion (Empathy) is the KEY TO IT ALL.
  Once we FEEL
WITH a person who is living along side us, it will be
impossible to
hurt or offend him.  Why?  Because if we do, we
instantly FEEL IT,
and we immediately stop doing what doesn't feel good.
 

The Reconnections once told us:  "There is no such
thing as
malevolence in the world.  There are only varying
degrees of
unconsciousness." 

When we "walk a mile" in the shoes of another person,
and we ENTRAIN
our feeling self so that it matches his..........two
things happen.
The first thing is:  We stop hating him.  The second
thing that
happens is:  He immediately gains access to OUR
FEELINGS as well.
After all, entrainment is a TWO-WAY street.  And the
only reason
people don't want to try it is.........they're afraid
that they'll be
the only ones changing in the world.  And you know
what?  That's
exactly right.  Once we "get it"..........once we
change........from
the heart.........our whole world, our whole
universe......changes
right along with us.   After all, there's only ONE OF
US here, isn't
there? 

May you all have a splendid week.........leaping and
hopping to and
fro among the various levels of "self" which inhabit
our world.  And
may you do it consciously, blissfully,
wonderfully........ in states
of Meta-Euphoria the likes of which you've never
known!

Rock On!  Dance your way to Ascension.........

"Do I live here or there?"  This very day, I've
learned there is no
difference. I am a dancer in flight. I'm every-where
and no-where and
some-where and ...... I'm every-one and no-one and
some-one, and no, I
don't do drugs...but I'm a child of the sixties...so
I'm sounding like
one at this moment, and there's flowers in my hair and
all
that.....and why in the world would I make such a
thing public except
that when I am HERE, it's all I ever need. Just to
be."

Thank you Berry for sharing this delicious and wonderfully humorous presentation of so much so many of us are learning right now!!!

Does this really mean I have to stop pooping my pants??? LOL

I could cut and paste so many brilliant and inspirational and affirming quotes, but I will just choose one for now (one that totally relates to the very confusing, at the time, quote from the very beginning of A Course in Miracles - "There is only One only begotten Son. When you understand this you will understand everything this course is attempting to convey" - or something close to that anyway)

"After all, there's only ONE OF US here, isn't there?"

okay, one more:

"Someone once said: "Before you criticize someone,

you should walk a mile in his shoes."

Facetiously, he added:

"That way, when he realizes what you've said,

you're a mile away and you have his shoes."

Haaaaahahahaha

and maybe just one more:

"One of the advantages of being an adult

(a big, socialized child) is knowing what

resources and recourses we have for

keeping life's "furniture" in tact"

okay, now I'm losing all credibility, just one more, this time for sure:

"The Reconnections take things a step further.  Following the admission (to ourselves) that we have pain and confusion within us, they enjoin us to STEP OUT of the Ego Structure we have become accustomed to thinking of as "me," and leap over into that Ego Structure which is offending or attacking us"

How's bout we call the little illusionary self "me" "mini-me"????
