Session 30 — May 2017

Frederic asks whether spirit differs for each being.

The Wonders answer that to a degree it does but ultimately it does not: all existence returns to the source, that which they are.

Because of varying judgments and perspectives of separation, each extends itself further and further in order to realize itself - the separation itself was created out of the desire for self-realization.

On third-dimensional reality individuals often do have separate spirit beings, but many individuals can share the same spirit being, and it is not a mathematical formula: it depends on the desire to realize the self, with some spirit beings extending themselves simply and others in complex ways.

Asked whether spirit is what animates a being, they accept the description: the spirit being is not the physical body, which is genetics and molecules, but there is a consciousness that moves those molecules and atomic substructures to create a physical being, and the spirit being, separated from the all that is, infuses itself into the body and creates its animation.

Frederic recounts that having a baby in the home, which could be seen as added constraints, instead led him to creative ways of still making the choices he wants, and that being creative seems to be what animates him at his core.

The Wonders distinguish drive from guidance: what drives him is a combination of ego, personality and mind based on judgment, definitions and fear, while what guides him moves him to open himself lovingly - as in the decision to bring a child into his life, where his mind judged the pragmatism but the spirit being provided the guidance.

They describe two kinds of creativity: the mind's creativity, which solves puzzles quickly, and the creativity that allows one to observe movement and choose, which is the spirit being.

Likewise inspiration is twofold - intuition arising from the mind's subconscious connection to its surroundings, versus inspiration to expand oneself so as to bring more love into life, which is always from the spirit being; inspiration to create a new widget is the mind.

Asked why some people are more creative, they say it is not that others have a different kind of spirit but that they do not listen - seeing themselves as purely physical entities and accepting only what their mind gives them.

The spirit does not desire a less creative experience; it enters existence as an opportunity to experience love, and when the mind and ego will not listen it simply works with what happens - whether one is abused or an abuser, the spirit says 'we can learn from this', while it is the mind, ego and personality that define which one you are.

Frederic asks whether everyone has a strong mind, since the Wonders have often said he does.

They say not really, and describe variations: some minds are so strong they completely negate the connection to the spirit being; some are courageous and willing to choose, which helps in exploring; some excel at puzzles and mathematics; some are strong in stubbornness, staying fixed in the mind.

His own mind was strong in sticking to its perception of reality without moving beyond it, but over the years he has chosen to command it, so its strength is now used more productively for the whole of himself, continuing the exploration despite fear.

Asked whether he chose to have a strong mind, they confirm it: at incarnation the spirit being's first tool was the mind, and it created a strong one because his circumstances required it - without it he would not have survived his father or his life and would have committed suicide long ago.

His strength of mind kept him focused and able to overcome adversity and choose differently.

A weaker mind would not have given a stronger connection; rather, now that he has survived and built a new life, the time has come to use his mind's strength differently: to reconnect and stay connected to his spirit being, expand his self-perspective, shift his ego and personality, and create a completely different life.

Frederic asks about the link between spirit and the self.

The Wonders define the self as the bridge between the spirit being and the ego and mind - a bridge that exists but is not strongly defined.

When the ego personality and mind consider themselves and say 'this is who I am', that statement encompasses a portion which is neither mind nor ego, and it is that portion they call the Self, which bridges the ego personality and mind to the spirit being.

After the session the facilitator reports a striking experience of the spirit, the self and the mind, in which he saw all that is, experienced that extension and observed how movement takes place.
