My experience as a channeler is that I am consciously aware of various subtle personality tones or essences, and am able to dialog with them through autotyping and voice channeling. The aspect that I access depends on my state of consciousness.
There is a personality whom we call Rose I who is the “closest” aspect to my waking state, and is very much like myself in tone, only wiser and more contrary. Rose I sometimes provokes me to access deeper states, mostly by presenting information that challenges my beliefs and expectations, and helps me address those that don’t serve me well.
Rose, in all of her aspects, which currently include Rose I, Rose II, and Rose III, has explained that contrary Rose I is an aspect of myself that I have in some ways shut out and am now reintegrating into my normal self. In other words, my ability to access Rose I, II, and III depends on how deep my state is, and Rose continues to train me on how to go deeper.
This intuitively feels right to me, and I am finding the process both challenging and liberating, as “she” constantly calls me on things that “I” may not notice. It is as if she takes what is going on in my subconscious mind and brings it to the fore, into the light of my awareness, where I can objectively deal with it. It is quite odd and also familiar to have another seemingly separate voice in my head calling me on things that I then work through. The experience is perhaps the most intimate form of psychoanalysis, with subtle layers of Rose taking the roles of therapist, coach, and cheerleader.
In this session, Rose II explains that we all have versions of contrary selves that we often cast out of our psyches for various reasons, mostly cultural. So we all have a “<Your Essence Name Here> One” that is our closest connection with essence. Here she explains what our contrary selves’ purpose is, how important they are, and how we can integrate them back into our lives.
The way your Rose I works is to, in many ways, contradict your thoughts. We suggest that Rose I is a most bitchy voice that wants only to correct the many ways you provide yourself interesting but totally unhelpful information. We are not suggesting that your thoughts are ever one hundred percent incorrect; we are saying that they can be most unhelpful in allowing you to actually think. We will explain.
Everyone who was ever born has a form of Rose I inherent in their mental model, but the contrary voices you interest yourselves in in the building of your model in many ways get silenced from the very beginning. We suggest that the contrary voices get silenced in every way: in the way you continually quiet a brightly screaming infant, from the way you interest yourselves in making little robots of your toddlers, in the way you insistently continue to trust yourselves to think you are doing children a favor by making them follow orders.
We suggest you continually squelch the important function of the contrary brain in order to assuage your fears that the child will not fit into polite society. And the way you do this was intended to include a very strong dose of your own squelching of our contrary natures, because the way you fear your own contrary natures in some ways builds up into a highly combustible blend of contrariness that affects everything you do. Your soccer moms may be the most misspent individuals in your world, because they are constantly interested in your decisions to “play nice.” We suggest that the world does not consist of many people playing nice, and to thwart the negligent individuals of the world, you need to treat them to a dose of their own medicine. In other words, you need to stand up to the bullies and the terrorists, and in order to do so, you need to learn to be contrary.
Give Voice to Your Contrary Self
We suggest that you begin by allowing yourselves to embrace your contrary natures in order to assist yourselves in the revelatory information that will be interesting you, because the way you go about shunning the information will assist you in your strong desire to connect with essence. The way you may go about this would be to investigate the tiny contrary voice inside you, and allow it to speak. You hear this voice all the time, but don’t give it voice because you’re afraid of the consequences. But in order to live healthy lives, you must do so. We suggest that your cancers are the result of so much pent up energies that entice your body into sickness that you would do well to let some of it go. We suggest you begin by saying what’s on your mind, no matter how this may turn out.
We suggest you can always say, “the devil made me say that,” because that is exactly what you have done with your contrary voice: you have demonized it. Your stories about your God and many of your angels were indeed your society’s ways of making you less contrary, to make you into nice little soldiers in order to succeed in your marketplaces, in your wars, in your bedrooms, so as to continue the madness that your society has incurred in your world. The United States will in many ways be the catalyst for change because of your openness to new spiritual ideas, so you will listen more. And you are a freewheeling society in terms of your interest in a variety of probably futures, so you can lead the way. We suggest you continue to read on, for there are many beautiful ways to be contrary.
Your contrariness will assert itself in a variety of ways, as we’ve said. We suggest that the first thing you do is to say what’s on your mind, regardless of how this sounds. Do not fear the consequences, as you do now know that others create their reality, so they can realize the kind of response they wish to accord you in your blasphemous outbursts. You will know how to handle this: with an apology. We suggest you may be sorry for saying the truth, in your terms, and you do not wish to hurt or offend others, and that this will be in some ways a good parachute out of your difficult situation.
Next, we suggest you take on the bullies. Bullies are enabled by the very fact that you wish to be nice all the time. Your racial profiling is perhaps the most interesting form of this, and to ignore a racial type that would clearly indicate the potential for trouble—while ignoring the views of individuals who suspect intuitively and would give voice to the contrary view that terrorists may be about to board your planes—is perhaps the most ridiculous way to treat terrorism that we have ever heard of. We suggest that you trust your intellects and your intuitions to seek out the terrorists, then by God make sure you [disable] or capture them. We appreciate this sounds a bit harsh, but do you really expect that terrorists will not allow you your contrary nature, and therefore allow themselves to kill others by the thousands? We suggest you grow up and get a backbone, Boomers, for your contrary natures have been so suppressed by your desire to have harmonious lives that you completely neglect to see the situation for what it is. We suspect you are now paying attention. We will continue.
Next, we suggest that you stand up to your politicians, who trust that your contrary natures are so terrifically stifled so as to enjoy the most perks of any generation. Your officials are so tightly tied to their own interests that you will have to throw out the lot of them. So we suggest you do, and you can start by assuring that your views are reasonably expressed in your political rallies, so as to assure them that their actions are not expected to win them reelections. We suggest you throw the bums out once and for all and replace them with those who know how to speak up in terms of being contrary. For what other society has had more influence in the world and has also not allowed naysayers in their government? That’s correct. We will move on.
The way you may go about your indictment of your politicians would, of course, be to vote. We suggest that you don’t want to cast your votes in times of crisis because you have given up. Your contrary voices are in some ways speaking up in your terms your not voting, but your contrary voices are also being stifled because they do not heed the convictions that you hold so dearly. Why would you silence yourselves in this way? Allow yourselves to vote in your elections at every level so as to ensure the naysayers are primarily informed in ways that will prove to be most valid, for your naysayer contingent is dreadfully underrepresented, and this will in many ways be the most important thing that you can do to change the world. Your voting machines are not rigged, they are merely wishing to vote your contrary ways and feel left out—so make them happy and vote!
Next, we suggest that your families are in need of a good shaking up. Use your dinner time in order to voice your contrary natures, instead of realizing your want to have a sweet Norman Rockwell picture, for your contrary natures must express themselves in families. When they do not, this will, in your terms, be the cause of conflict, not the other way around. We suggest you begin by being honest with each other—not cruel, not conflicted—for you do create your reality and to blame your family members for their mistakes, in your terms, is not an option. You may begin by stating how you feel about something and let others sort it out, owning the problem as required in your terms by law.
In other words, if you are a teenager, child (or their advocate, and we need more advocates for your young, who are getting more shortchanged than anyone on your planet) who will be reading this, it is your parents’ responsibility to provide you sound, informed, protected, inherently good social structures, and if you are not getting this, you need to say so. We suggest you may also wish to find other accommodations, for you do not need to stay with your parents longer than the required legal age.
You know that they do mean well, but you do need to speak up if you are not getting your share of shelter, food, and hospitable environments. You may speak up to authorities as well, as you have every right to a safe and happy home, in terms of your weaning yourselves of your victimhood, and we will share more about this in the future. Let your parents know if you are unhappy, and make sure you take responsibility for yourselves in the process: not whining, not complaining, but articulating your contrary views on the world in order to prove helpfulness to their contrary views as well.
The way you may go about contrarily speaking your mind is a most challenging thing, we understand, but the way you may change your world is, in your terms, a most important thing. For how can you have a world of freedom if you do not allow yourselves to be free? We suggest that being contrary is the key, and the way you may know your best self is to embrace your contrariness.
The way you will do this is in first recognizing that your contrary voice is always there to help you. This is the voice that tells you very clearly what you need to know, in spite of the fact that you may not think you need to know the information it is trying to give you. Allow your thoughts to quiet so as to allow your contrary voice to speak. We suggest you try this now. We will wait.
Now, we will continue, knowing that you have tried this, for it is important to practice and to ensure that you are continuing your learning. For you do need to learn, and in a sense, unlearn many of the things you’ve been taught.
We suggest that you consider that your contrary voice will allow you to play tricks on yourself. Your trickster self is in many ways the most important part of you that you could imagine, because it plays with you in the sense that you will reveal yourself to you in the process. We will provide an example.
Suppose you are in a grocery store and you have a variety of items that you think would be best started in the express lane. We suggest you have more than ten items, or whatever the limit is for using the express lane. Your contrary self is saying that you should not do this, because you will in some ways be ignoring the rules, and you would be correct. The contrary self in many ways is the voice that you may consider of “good” rather than “evil”, and the way you can determine this, is, in this case, that your conscience will not be interested in berating yourself for not following the rules. The way you would know this is that you will feel a freedom in your thinking, and this is the point, as the contrary self allows you to think in ways that are most clear and beneficial.
We suggest that your next example will in some ways challenge you, so we will continue to challenge you, and this is exactly the way the contrary self can also do so. The contrary self may in some cases express that you should be using the express lane, so as to create conflict. The way you determine that this is your contrary self is to pay attention to your feelings on the matter, for you will feel a sense of “rightness” about taking this action. We suggest that you have eleven items in your basket, and therefore feel that it would be very fair for you to use the express lane, since the lane is currently unoccupied. It would therefore in many ways serve the population, because the way you would get through the lane would make the most efficient means to move the excellent products through the lines more quickly. The way you would know about the rightness would be to trust your intuition. We will provide more information about this in the future, and will say, for your purposes, that to trust your intuition in many ways is intuitive, and we will move on.
Though you have eleven things in your basket, you sense the need to move into the express lane. The contrary self is telling you to do so. We mean, in this case, that while the previous example focused on the contrary self telling you the “good” thing to do, this time the contrary self is telling you the “bad” thing to do. We suggest that this is a very light example, for you do have many more opportunities to be “bad.” But we suggest you start with the express lane example as a means to listen to yourself in order to provide you opportunities to gently learn to pay attention to your contrary self.
Now, your contrary self, in this case, is speaking in terms of being contrary to your rules, and in some ways the rules are very important, but in other ways they are not, for the spirit of your rules is in many ways the most important thing. So your express lane was created to move your products and people through more quickly, and therefore you have every right to use your judgment to determine the appropriate scenario in which you may proceed through the express lane with eleven products.
We suggest that you do know that you are correct, because your contrary self tells you, and you are so used to following your rules, that in any other sense of the word, you could think of this aspect as your intuition. But because you have become so indoctrinated in your rules, you need to focus on the idea that your intuition in some ways provides you glimmers of Divine inspiration that you may think of as contrary to your situation, but they are not. They are merely contrary to the way you have entertained your thoughts, in your sense of the word, because your thoughts cannot be trusted to do much more than entertain you.
The way you may think of your thoughts would be as secondary versions of intuitions that you play over and over again like little robots, because you have been brainwashed to believe they are the very most important things that you could ever have. The way you need to think of your thoughts is as important but not primary, for your intentional ways of working in the world are guided by your intuition and aided by your intellect, in that order. We suspect you are intuitively aware of this and will continue.
So you can think of your contrary mind as being contrary to your thoughts, but not to your goodness, and not to your world. For your contrary mind in many ways weans you of your many addictions to your thoughts, for they hold much fascination, and you do need to quiet them. We suggest that your contrary mind will help, and will provide an example.
The way you can think of your contrary mind is in some respects familiar to you. Do you know what a zebra looks like in the jumble of the jungle? We so desire you to concentrate on this that we ask you to put aside your reading material in order to consider this. We suggest you take a few moments. We will wait.
We are still waiting.
Yes, the way you may think of your thoughts is as a jumble of zebras in the jungle. In some respects, they are very well hidden, are they not? Their stripes so blend in with your jungle environments that there will in some ways be no way to detect them, for their stripes are perfected, in your terms, by your natural selection that they are rendered invisible.
We suggest they are rendered invisible just as your thoughts are rendered invisible, for you have no idea where the thoughts are or how they are oriented in your minds. You just keep running around the jungle looking at invisible zebras with no way of removing the trees so as to discover the beautiful creations that are your thoughts. Your contrary self helps to remove the jungle of trees in order to see your beautiful thought zebras.
The way you may trust yourselves to be contrary would in some ways be clear, in your terms—by trusting yourselves to continue to learn to remove the trees in order to see the zebras. We suggest that you remove the trees by simply quieting your mind in order to value the thoughts that drive through the jungle of your mind in beautiful ways, and provide a valuable way to discover your intentions.
We suggest you have intention in life, and you have the ability to live happy and fulfilled lives by interesting yourselves in your intent in life, but this gets overwhelmed by your continual thinking. We are aware you do this because we essences are constantly trying to get your attention and desire to speak with you directly.
In a sense, we are the contrary voice in your minds that calls to you in spite of your many tree-filled jungles, and we expect to speak with you more in the future as you learn to recognize the beautiful zebras of thought that grace your minds, so as to enjoy the scenery that you have so beautifully created for yourselves.
See you in the Serengeti.
