Session 72 (Private) – Excerpt
Saturday, June 16, 2007
Participants: Joanne (Tyl), Paul (Caroll), Will, and Rumi the cat.
ROSE: You don't give yourself enough credit for thinking globally, and you restrict yourself in your passions. We do not mean to suggest that you will not find local solutions that incorporate fulfillment for you. We are only saying that in setting your scope to be incorporating the global landscape, you will situate your superpowers in a more productive way.
In some ways this will allow you to better find your passions, because otherwise you are limiting yourself in your ability to conceive the kind of impact that you may have on the world. So we suggest you continue to think globally in the effort to best connect with the kind of interesting projects that you wish to take on in the effort to vivaciously incorporate your ingredients for your finished projects. In doing so, you will discover your true superpowers.
We will be suggesting that every individual incorporate a kind of "change the world" approach to discovering their passions. There's no reason to not believe that each individual is interested in doing so for the better. So trust yourselves to be doing so. We are not leading you down a primrose path. We are not testing you either. We simply want to encourage you to think big, because you are capable of great things. And by setting your limits, you limit yourselves in your ability to create the most fulfilling lives possible.
We also wish to point out that this is not Boomeritis. This will not be the last time we make this distinction. Boomeritis is a form of narcissism that incorporates the belief that the individual is the only person in the world. It is a very unhealthy kind of belief structure in that this is a stage of development that people go through. We call this extreme relativism, in your terms. Weany girl calls it "the madness."
This is an excellent description, because there is a kind of madness that is incorporated in this stage of development, that is, that the individual feels very much alone in their duplicity involving their own egos in respect to the world. This is not what we're suggesting. This is an extreme form of competence instead of the incompetence of Boomeritis, which is only focused on the individual ultimately, and not on the world. The individual is the only person in the world in some respects, so you can see the distinction.
You do have questions Paul?
PAUL: (Humorously) You must be psychic! I just wanted to comment that...
ROSE: We are!
PAUL: (Laughs) ...you reminded me of Seth's Practicing Idealism[1], and you gave a variation of that and qualifying what you mean by "save the world." Seth tells us to act from wherever we are, whether it's behind a janitor's broom, a car mechanic's wrench, a surgeon's blade, a CEO's billion dollar empire, a president's executive power -- wherever we find ourselves. It's just a whole different scope and scale of, in your terms, saving the world that you're reminding us is an important ideal to have as we look at our superpowers and how to best use them.
ROSE: Exactly. This is exactly what we are talking about. Sometimes the way to go about saving ourselves isn't saving the world. In fact, it's the only way. We are the world. You are the world that you live in. To ignore aspects that you don't incorporate to continue without your interest is denying aspects of yourself. So be aware that in pushing your brooms, you do allow yourself to involve yourself with the activities of the world. You may be cleaning your own corner so that others may enjoy it. This may carry on to be incorporating a fascination for cleaning many other kinds of things -- your relationships, your introduction to your world in the sense that you may find a cleanliness in your world that you've never expected.
In doing this, you only need to shift your perspective from the patch of floor in front of you to incorporate the entire planet. This is a mindset more than anything. This is the point: you do need to save the world. You need to start in your terms with the patch of the planet that surrounds you. You can incorporate a widening of awareness in the very situation that you find yourself in at this moment. Your energy extends outward into the world in ways that you never considered when you are occupied with only your tiny patch in and unto itself. So you can embrace your very existence in ways that are most compelling in the sense that you extend your energy into All-That-Is ultimately. But it is your world that is your immediate concern, is it not?
If the universe is interested in the continuation of your reality, and you're existing in your world, and the world is, in a probable future, offering provisions of happiness or the future of becoming extinct, you would, perhaps, focus your energies on it. Your world is the current interest, and this is why you live it: that you may be widening your awareness in order to save your planet. And this can be done in a number of ways using a number of superpowers that we will be enabling people to connect with in their own ways.
You are already very worldly individuals. This shouldn't be any surprise to you, but it will be to many others who involve themselves in the Elias, and Seth, and Kris information, because they don't exactly have this kind of worldview, and therefore the incorporation of a loftier purpose in life will shock them, but in other ways will encourage them to be noticing and identifying the kind of superpowers that they will need to incorporate in order to be assisting in the shift in consciousness that is happening now.
Endnotes:
[1] Paul’s note: Seth introduced this concept in The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events (1995), a book that showed how the collective jointly co-creates its collective reality, or We-Space, in complex ways. Seth challenged us to become Practicing Idealists, to “face up to the abilities of consciousness,” and develop our highest human potentials.
