"Crossing The Threshold"
Once again we take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for co-creating this transmission this day of your time. Once again, each and every time all of you and each of you allow such a transmissional link and bridge to be formed it affords our civilization the opportunity to experience creation through the eyes of more and more facets of the Infinite and we thank you for this gift of expansion.
We have discussed quite a few times in these conversations with each and every one of you, the notion of what it takes to change your reality to be what you want it to be.
We have discussed in great detail from time to time the tools that are necessary for you to be able to consciously apply different ideas to your belief systems in your reality in order to effect the changes that you desire and to allow them to remain in your lives.
We have talked about the idea of how important it is to get in touch with the idea of definitions and belief for those are the things that actually determine what you experience your reality to be, on a day to day basis.
And we have talked about the idea of motivation, that every given moment you are choosing whatever it is that is your behavior, whatever it is that is the reflective experience that is the result of your behavior. You are choosing these things, you are motivated to choose these things based on the strongest definition that has been entrained within your consciousness since childhood.
In other words, the strongest belief you have about what is possible in reality... or lack of possibility in reality is what motivates you to choose the kind of paths... the kind of behaviors... make the kind of choices that you do in your life and thus get the kind of results that you get.
The idea that we have discussed also from time to time is that in getting in touch with the definitional belief systems within you that may be responsible for the reality you are getting that you don't prefer... and in discovering what definitions you would prefer to replace the old definitions with, so as to create a new reality more in keeping with your preference, we have not yet gone into great detail though we have mentioned it from time to time, about exactly what happens in that threshold between recognizing the old belief and transforming it into the new belief.
There is a threshold that is crossed, but in talking with many of you we find that many of you feel that there is difficulty in going from the old belief to the new belief, in the sense of, as you say in your language... making the new belief "stick".
Many times you say you seem to go back to choosing the old ways... the old belief. You cannot bring yourself, for some reason, to simply allow the new belief to seem as real as the old belief. You cannot find yourself being motivated strongly enough to allow the new belief to maintain itself... to be in force, because you are in such a pattern, so to speak, so familiar with the old belief, that you seem to naturally, simply gravitate back towards that particular style instead of being able to allow yourself to continue to choose the belief you say you prefer.
The idea of assisting each and every one of you to allow the new belief to be easier to choose so that you won't necessarily feel that the old belief has any more power than the new belief, is to understand exactly what is happening when you cross that threshold from old to new definition.
That threshold is not just a line that you cross, it is a place in and of itself, it is an energy in and of itself, It is a reality in and of itself... and most importantly, it is a recognition in and of itself that you need to have in order to understand why you can allow a new belief to remain in force just as strongly as the old belief did.
This threshold... expanded from the notion of just a line that you have crossed, expanded into an actual place you can occupy that you can actually spend some time in, you can spend time in the crossing place... in the crossing point.
This crossing point, and why most of you don't realize that it is a place to actually spend time in, this crossing point is by its very nature... the unknown... the unknown itself.
It is the recognition that there is no reality aside from what you define reality to be, and this is why very often, you miss it and jump over it so quickly is because it doesn't appear to exist to you, it doesn't appear real to you and so you don't spend anytime getting used to the fact, that when you let go of an old belief, you need to spend time getting used to the fact that there is no "real" reality, so that if you understand there is no "real" reality, you will not feel that the old belief represents a more "real" reality than the new belief, and will not feel yourself drawn back to it, as if it were somehow more real... more solid... then any new belief you wish to incorporate into your mind, into your consciousness.
You need to take time between the old belief and the new belief to really understand... to really get a feeling... that there is no reality, except for the fact that there is no reality. Did that sound contradictory? There is no reality except that there is no reality... that there is no reality is the "real" reality.
The unknown is what you need to make a friend of, you have to let yourself be all right with the recognition, you have to let it be all right to spend time in the unknown, you have to let it be all right to have the recognition that there is no real reality, aside from your definitions of the idea of reality, and that then creates your experience of reality.
Even your own scientists know this now. Many of your physicists are finding that it is the heart of many of their theories of reality, that there is no reality... empirically... inherently, that you are responsible for creating your reality based on your view of what you think it can be.
So, when you find yourself experiencing any degree of difficulty in incorporating a new reality, you will usually find... not in all cases, but very often you will usually find, that it is because you have some idea that there's supposed to be some notion of reality that is real, against which you are supposed to measure your new reality to see if you can find yourself lacking or wanting or to see how close you match this idealized "real" reality.
But no matter what idealized idea you come up with... that is still your creation, there is no real reality aside from your definition of it. So you're only measuring against yourself not against any "real" background of reality, to find yourself wanting, to find yourself coming up short, as you say, there is nothing to find yourself coming up short against, you are it in your universe... you are it.
So, when you get in touch next time, with an old definition or belief system that you no longer prefer to live by, then take some time... even if you have already defined the new definition for yourself, before you incorporate it... before you cross the threshold, letting go of the old one and attempting to incorporate the new definition, take some time and spend some time, in the middle... between those two definitions, getting used to the fact, that no one definition is any more real then any other definition because there is no reality other than what you say it is... and when you really let that sink in, when it becomes a real visceral feeling for you, that there is no reality... when you are finally comfortable with the unknown... totally, then it will be easier for you to accept the new definition as being just as real, because you will finally realize that reality is up to you, that the degree of reality something has, the degree of reality a definition has is completely up to you to determine.
So, play with that threshold, spend some time there... you will get used to it, you will find actually that you will come to enjoy it.
Do not be afraid of the unknown... the unknown is your friend, the unknown is the place... the crucible... the forge in which you really make the greatest changes in your life. It's where you can decide who you will become... completely and utterly in that moment and thus then experience the reality that is the reflection of that decision... completely and utterly from that moment forward.
