Allowing You

I am that I am!

Master Anna, of Magical Service.

Welcome back dear friend, to our class on love, the new love, and on bringing home the light that is buried underneath all of that shame.

Ahh...

This class has been quite an experience for John and Romana. It has gone places they did not expect. It has taken them places they did not expect. It has taken longer to put it together than they expected. But as we said at the beginning this class is as much for us—including me, John’s soul—as it is for you.

Oh, we have covered so much territory, about the shame and about the solution of self-love.

Our next session will be the question and answer session, which we will do about a month after we launch this class so that people have a chance to go through it and ask questions. If you are taking this class later, well, it will just be the next session. And after that we will have a session to bring it all together and wrap things up. And if there is interest after that, we will begin an ongoing discussion about what it means to love yourself in practical everyday life. But we will see how that works out, and John will provide more information when it is time.

But for now, let's take a look at allowing you. Because, you see, a really big part of loving yourself is allowing yourself. Allowing every part of you.

Mmm...

Oh, so many humans, they feel all these things. They feel all that shame. They look at themselves and they feel even more ashamed. So many things they feel like they are failing at.

They read or listen to things about helping themselves get through it. There is a whole industry of self-help. They want to fix all these things about themselves, and in the process, most of the time they just end up piling more shame on top of all the shame that is already there.

You go to teachers, you take classes, and so many of them say, “It’s easy! You just have to choose, and everything will be better!” And there is an element of truth to that, but it is also still very distorted.

Because, you see, it is not the human who makes those choices. And that is a difficult concept for the human to let in.

It is not your mind—which is perhaps a more accurate way of saying it—that makes those choices. They are made by the whole you, at the appropriate time.

If you have been struggling with issues in your life, whether they are health issues or abundance issues or whatever, yes, there comes a point where your being makes a choice that says, “I am done with this. I do not need it anymore. I am moving on.” And then you do. But that is not a choice the human mind can make by itself.

So many teachers present it as a choice for the human mind to make, and then they wonder why the people get so frustrated. Well, some of these teachers—you call them ascended masters, or angels, or whatever—some of them have not even been on Earth and they do not have the experience to speak from.

Others have, but you see, we are going places that none of them, including the Ascended Masters, have been before. And many of them have not really seen this thing of shame, and of how deep you have gone into it.

Oh, they got out, they let it out of themselves at the end of their last lifetime. They let it all go.

But you are here. You are going through your ascension, if you want to call it that—it’s not such a great word—your enlightenment, your realization, however you want to call it. You are going through that and staying here, for a time. It is an incredible time to be here, but it is not so simple as to just drop the body and all the shame that is stored inside of it.

So, allowing you is the key.

Hmm...

[a pause as John momentarily loses his words]

We are confusing John a little bit. It’s okay, he is allowing that.

Because, you see, that is what you the human can do. You can allow your own transformation to happen, at its own pace and in its own timing.

If you have these issues—health or abundance or whatever—and you go in your mind and you say, “I am done with that! I am ready to move on!” Well, they are still going to be there and then you are going to be frustrated. And they will probably get worse.

Instead, the solution is to love that part of you. To wrap your arms around yourself and say, You know what? This is me, and I am okay with me, just the way I am. My body hurts, I don’t have much money (or whatever the issue is for you) and I am okay with that!

Mmm...

And then you come back to the now moment. Come back to your life right now, here and now, and just be with it. Be with yourself.

And when the appropriate time comes and enough energies have been moved and enough shame has been integrated and resolved—again, that is not your job. That is your soul's job.

At the appropriate time those issues will disappear, all by themselves.

It is not something you need to do. You do not need to choose to make them go away. That is counterproductive, and it has the opposite effect.

You do not need to try to conjure up images of a healthy you. That is also counterproductive, for it just piles on more shame. It makes the issue bigger.

So instead, you wrap your arms around yourself, every part of you, and say, “I AM OKAY WITH ME!”

Mmm...

Remember our little story of John a few sessions back, of looking in the eyes of an old man and feeling God smiling at him. Well, you are God also.

In fact, you are the only God that matters to you.

Can you, dear God, smile at you?

Can you smile at these parts of you that you struggle with so much, that you feel so ashamed of, that you want to change?

Can you step back, open your arms to them and smile, dear God?

Can you say, as God, “I am okay with you, just the way you are, dear self!”

Mmm...

And then you go on about your life.

You allow the aches and the pains to be there.

You allow what you used to see as financial issues

Now you just see them as another facet of you, and you know that they will change at the perfect time in ways that you cannot even imagine right now at the human level. Because that is how life works for the master.

A master does not go around choosing to fix all these things, because the real master understands that just makes them bigger.

The master goes around celebrating this life that is here right now, understanding that there are reasons for every bit of it even if the mind has no idea what those reasons are.

Someday, at the appropriate time, you will understand. But right now, your job is not to understand. Your job is simply to allow every part of you, just the way it is.

You are not here to grow, or to learn. Those things happen naturally, in the perfect timing.

You are here to experience exactly what you are experiencing right now, and to allow that.

Mmm...

Your soul takes it all, gathers the wisdom from it, and brings that back to you in the form of simple knowing. Simple knowing that comes in the now moment, that guides you if you let it.

Oh, you’ve heard a lot about inner guidance and how to access it. People talk about following your bliss, or following your feelings, and it is all a step forward. Or it was a step forward. It is all beautiful, but the mind jumps in and makes it all confusing.

You see, the mind does not know how to feel. You do, but your mind does not, so it creates these imitation feelings. You call them emotions.

And then you try to follow those emotions as if they were guidance, and they are not. And they make you crazy.

Actually they are, in one sense.

We will give credit to where John first heard this concept. It came from the collective called Abraham, channeled through Esther Hicks.

They always said that your emotions will guide you in one way: If you are feeling a negative emotion, an emotion that you do not like, it means one thing and one thing only. It means you are believing something that is not true.

We would go a little farther and say, it means you are telling yourself a story that is not true.

You see, every emotion has a story behind it.

It has been said that every emotion is actually an aspect of you. And all these aspects you have heard about, these parts of you that were hidden away in your darkness, every single one is in fact a story. And those are what are behind your emotions.

Emotion is simply when that story comes to the front and your mind starts telling it, or replaying it, and your mind floods your body with chemicals, with drugs that make you feel these intense feelings.

You see, a feeling is a sensory experience, and your mind creates these emotions and then it gives you an imitation sensory experience.

Oh, it is actually a very real sensory experience, but it is generated from a falsehood. It is generated from a story that is not real.

No story is real, because the only thing that is real is this moment.

Right here, right now, this is life.

This is all there is, and your soul meets you in this moment.

Soul does not have any stories. It does not really care about the stories. It just cares about the experiences, and the wisdom that came from them.

Mmm...

So these emotions come over you. And, well, you could say that every emotion is in fact a judgment. It is a judgment of that story.

If it was a happy story, you judge it as good and you feel good. If it was a sad story or a difficult story, you judge it as bad and you feel bad. And your brain floods your body with the drugs that reinforce that feeling.

Now you can—again, this is something that happens naturally in the right timing, but if you are willing to allow the emotion when you feel it; allow yourself to feel it, but then look underneath and notice the story that is playing underneath it.

And then, tell yourself the truth.

Because, once again, every negative emotion is based on a lie that you are telling yourself.

For example: Oh, that person abused you, and you feel horrible about it!

Well, notice that feeling.

Don’t fight it, just notice it.

And then, what is the real truth?

The real truth is, you are not a human. The human is just an illusion, here to have an experience for you. You are an eternal, sovereign, untouchable being, and nobody ever abused you. It is not possible! But you played that game.

Hmm...

Or, you are feeling sad because someone you love died. Well, notice the sadness. Don’t fight it, allow it. But then remind yourself of the truth: There is no death, ever, in any way.

Oh, certainly your body goes through a transformation, just like your automobile when it wears out. It gets crushed and sent to the recyclers, who melt it down and turn it into a new automobile that looks entirely different than the old one. So also, your body, at some point, dies and transforms.

At this point in your journey you can, if you wish, take the energies of your body with you. Or you can let it go and let it be transformed back into the earth, and other bodies will be made of it. Just like your body is made up of particles and atoms and such from the ones that came before you.

And that is the truth, dear friend.

Those stories, that so-called abuse, oh, it was a very real experience for the human, and your soul gathered a lot of wisdom from it. But it was all an illusion, and that is the truth.

It was all a game you were playing, that you chose to play. That is all it ever was, and when you allow yourself to have that truth, the pain will fade away.

Ahh...

But it starts with allowing the pain, allowing the feelings, allowing the sensations, and then telling yourself the truth. The real truth that is underneath everything.

Even the beautiful emotions, the wonderful ones that feel so good, are still based on a story. On a judgment. And there is nothing wrong with that, for it is part of being human.

There is nothing wrong with any of the emotions or any of the stories. It is a beautiful thing about being human!

But when you see it for what it really is, when you see the truth that it is just a game you have been playing and you are so far beyond that, so much bigger than that, well, it sets you free.

Those old difficult stories, they cannot hold on to you anymore once you see them for what they really are.

They cannot affect your life, because they do not have a hook anymore.

Because now you know the truth.

...

Nothing neutralizes emotions more than the simple I am that I am. I exist. I am eternal, and I love me.

Oh, you can still play with emotions all you want to. They are beautiful things, when you know the truth. When you acknowledge the truth and tell the truth to yourself.

Mmm...

If you find yourself feeling a lot of fear, that is an emotion.

Well, the first thing to do is acknowledge it. Allow it.

And then, here is where the human can make a choice. The human can choose to... Well, once again, it is really a choice that your whole being makes.

But if you are feeling inspired in a particular direction, whatever it is, and you feel the urge, or even the push from your soul saying, “Let's go this way!” but your mind freaks out and you go into all this fear and you find yourself stuck there, well, once again, allow you.

Allow the fear. Acknowledge it.

Ha! Someone wrote a beautiful book one time. John never read it, but the title of it is brilliant. It said, Feel the Fear, and Do It Anyway!

And that is how you get over your fear. You acknowledge it. You allow it: “Hey, I’m scared!”

You are probably going to notice a bunch of old stories coming up to reinforce that fear, and then you take a breath and you tell yourself the truth: I exist. I am eternal. I cannot be harmed in any way, and I never have been. I just played some games along the way!

And then you do whatever it is you are feeling drawn to do.

Oh, if it is something you think you should do, then maybe you need to pay attention to the fear that is stopping you, because you should not be doing things because you think you should.

You should be doing things because they inspire you, because they call to you, because they make you happy. Because something inside you goes, “Yes, that is what I want! That is what I want to do!”

And then when the other part comes up that says, “I am so scared!” you give yourself a hug. And then you go and do it anyway, because you know that you are an eternal being and you cannot be harmed in any real way.

And if you find you cannot believe that, well, trust that too. It will change at the appropriate time, because it is natural. It is a natural process, and this is where you and your soul are going.

But this is a process that the whole you is going through, and it is not the responsibility of the human to get it right.

The human's responsibility is simply to allow itself, everything about itself, because that opens the door for the transformation to happen.

It opens the door for the new insights to come in.

It opens the door for the change to happen.

It opens the door to the magic in your life.

Mmm...

But please understand that this entire process, everything we have been talking about in this class, is a natural process. It all happens, naturally, at the perfect time.

Ha! The perfect time is not usually what the human thinks would be perfect, but it is the perfect time for you. And it is going to happen.

No matter what, you cannot stop it.

And you cannot really speed it up, so stop trying.

What you can do is make the journey more difficult by trying so hard. Or by believing people when they say, “If you would just change the way you think, if you would just do this or do that, or think this or think that, or conjure up the right picture in your mind, it would all get better!”

No, let it go.

Your choice is simply to allow you, just the way you are, and to allow the changes and the transformations and the aches and the pains and all, everything about you, to happen in the perfect timing.

In the timing of... Oh, John started to say ‘of your soul,’ but we want to say, in the timing of your whole being.

It includes the human. It includes the soul. It includes the I am, the master. However you want to define all these facets of you, it does not matter.

It is the whole being that is on this journey, and it goes through every single transformation and enlightenment that it needs in exactly the perfect timing. Regardless of what you the human do.

So, why not take a breath, wrap your arms around yourself, and allow it to unfold?

It will, perfectly, in ways you cannot possibly imagine. And if you just let it happen, you will be a lot more comfortable.

Hmm...

Some of you are saying, “Yes, but my body hurts so much!”

Well, when you allow that, when you truly allow that, it will do what it needs to do. And it will save you a lot of grief.

You see, pain in the body is not the same as suffering. Suffering is what happens when you get into your mind and you are fighting with the pain, trying to get rid of it.

No, breathe it in.

In human experience there is only one way out of anything, and that is to dive into it. More deeply than you ever have.

Allow yourself to breathe in that pain, to dive into it, to simply allow it, and you will find that it is much easier to live with. And it will change, at the appropriate time.

You have no idea how much of those old energies and that old shame is moving through you and clearing out! But again, that is your soul's job. It is not the job of you, the human. It is the job of your whole being.

You are part of that, in the same way that your little finger is a part of you. But it is not your little finger's job to make life better for itself. It is your little finger's job to just be a little finger.

It is the whole you that manages what happens to that little finger, and it will all happen at exactly the right time.

It must, because you are God also.

Not the little human, but the whole you. The whole being.

Ahh...

So, allow you.

Allow it all, every bit of it.

You see, we have talked about the darkness, about the shame, about all these parts of you that you pushed off into the darkness. And you think of those as your dark aspects, your dark facets.

But we realized something recently: They are not really dark at all. They are your light.

They seem dark to you, not because they are dark, but because you felt ashamed of them and so you hid yourself away from them.

Oh, feel that!

We have always talked in the past about taking these aspects, these parts of you that you didn’t like, that you didn’t understand, that you were afraid of and ashamed of, and pushing them off and hiding them away.

But what you actually did was hide yourself away from them!

So as you allow them to come home... We talked about giving them a hug as they come home, and that is a beautiful thing to do.

But maybe it is that you needs to let them give you a hug!

Because they are your light. They are part of you, they are part of your light, and this is how you let your own light back into your life.

You let these parts of you join you here.

You stop hiding away from them.

It takes so much energy to hide yourself away from all these parts of you, and it blocks so much of your own light away from you!

So instead of trying to push them away or figure them out, or complaining about all those old stories, allow them to hug you and to shine their light into your life.

Mmm...

With that, we will leave you to consider this, and we will return for a question-and-answer session at the appropriate time.

Thank you for joining us in this class, this transformation, this letting in of the light!

And so it is.
