04.29.21 CONTEMPLATIVE MEDITATION. Hi, my old and new lightworker friends. I am finally back with you. I appreciate all the kind thoughts and healing energy you sent me. It really helps. Today I want to talk about a topic that will be necessary for our discussions to come.

I am going to be discussing several difficult topics that will cause some to experience what is called, “cognitive dissonance.” This is the process of the ego being challenged by questioning beliefs that are central to our understanding of ourself and the world around us.

The reason why Jesus explains, in his book, The Christ Letters, Christ Returns: Speaks His Truth, that the ego must be mastered, is because our egos only want to keep us comfortable and sure of what we believe, so as not to create a crisis of faith or learning within us.

The ego constantly seeks out sources of information and other people who will support what we already believe and confirm that what we believe is “THE TRUTH.” However, very often, what we believe is in error, and the other sources who confirm our beliefs are as wrong as we are.

This process of seeking out sources of information to confirm our beliefs is called “Confirmation Bias,” and it is a powerful force within us that makes us believe other people are wrong and we are right. It is what keeps us in organizations and jobs and religions and politics.

But until we can question our own beliefs, and welcome new information that challenges what we understand to be true, we are held hostage in our awakening process by our own ego. Defeating the ego requires a strong process of cognitive dissonance in order to process new info.

A really positive way to deal with the ego pain of cognitive dissonance is to convert your meditation practice into one of “contemplative meditation,” where you not only quiet down the noise around you, but ask your Higher Self for help in emptying out the old beliefs that bind.

All of our individual Higher Selves are hoping we will get to the point that we are ready to get rid of the confirmation bias that keeps us in a pattern of just doing and thinking the same things over and over. After we get rid of the bias, we can open our hearts and minds.

Having one’s life run by their Higher Self, rather than the Ego, is what is necessary in order to truly reclaim your gifts as a lightworker who came to serve on this planet. The Higher Self will always challenge you to learn more and see more and do more, beyond the ego.

And meditation is the traditional place to have a two-way conversation with your Higher Self about these issues. Meditation becomes much more meaningful if you go into with questions, and a request to let your Higher Self drain you of old ideas that bind you to old practices.

The practice of actively asking questions of your Higher Self during meditation, whether you do it through a traditional practice of prayer (which is actually answered by your own Higher Self), or in another way that suits you, converts your practice to contemplative meditation.

As we move into the next set of discussions on who really is in control of this planet, I ask you to enter meditation in a contemplative way, and ask your Higher Self to help you develop an ability to clean out the old ideas you hold so you can consider the things I will say.

Some of what I have been asked to talk with you about will challenge a lot of people here in our community. It will be more difficult for those who aren’t absolutely committed to working with their own Higher Self, rather than their Ego, in trying to understand the information.

I’ve told you about my own difficult process of deconstructing every single thing I believed in, during the period and since my own Higher Self came sort of crashing into my life. It really hurt my ego to realize I was wrong about so many things.

If this “controlling the ego” process is still new to you, the best information on why it is necessary is available in Jesus, the Ascended Master’s book, that I mentioned earlier—The Christ Letters, Christ Returns, Speaks his Truth. I highly recommend the book for many reasons.

The book is also the best source I have found for teaching you how to heal yourself of the traumas you’ve experienced while serving on this planet. You can listen to it free on YouTube if you like.

Please talk over how to open your mind and heart to new information with your Higher Self. The discussions we will have in the coming weeks will be more valuable to you if you have the ability to hear new things and not immediately reject them because they are different.

Much love to each of you. Your service here is valued and appreciated. You are supported as you move through this learning process. The angelic gestalts, as well as your own soul groups, are here to offer you any help you would like to ask for as you move through this process.
