Part 2: Soul Conversations with Gregory

April 25, 2018

 

KYM COCO:
Welcome back to another great conversation with Gregory regarding the soul.

Last week, we discussed the following topics:

  • What is the soul?
  • Does the soul have a purpose?
  • How is the game of life played on Earth?
  • Why is there struggle in life?
  • How do we see through the illusion of separateness?

You can listen to the audio below, which combines last week's talk with this week's information.

This week, as we dive even deeper into the concepts of the soul, and our purpose here on Earth, we want to remind you of a few important points:

First, get yourself into a centered space before listening. This will help you hear the answers you wish to receive more clearly. We suggest taking three deep and cleansing breaths before reading this material. It will help ground and center you to hear this message more clearly. 

Second, we encourage you to stop at various points while reading, or listening, to check in with how these concepts feel for you. The topic of the soul is individual for each person, and only you will be able to decipher the truth for yourself.

Third, it’s best to keep an open, curious mind. This will allow the wisdom of your heart and the knowing you hold deep inside to surface. 

Fourth, have fun! Enjoy this learning process and write down new questions that arise. We’re in this journey of life together! Let us know what you think, and what new concepts you’d like to discuss as a result of this conversation.

With that, we’ll dive right back into our Q&A with Gregory!

---

KYM COCO:
Is there a benefit to understanding the soul, and the energy that is bigger than us?
I mean, if the game of life is just as juicy whether we are aware of the soul or not, what keeps people interested in learning about it?

GREGORY:
With the way the game has been set up, you come into this particular time-space continuum here on planet Earth, and you begin the journey in ignorance. You begin as the drop of water coming into an existence. And, this drop doesn’t comprehend anything; it just is in its existence. This is true until it is out of the human physical experience back into All-That-Is once again. [This is what many humans call the death]. 

When you come into human form, you’ve created a ladder in the game called human where you move from unenlightened, unevolved into more enlightened, and more evolved. That is where you, as humans, begin to understand [your true connection]. You, as humans, want to learn how to be physical and still be connected to the spiritual. You want to know how much you can be in your physical lives AND still be connected to your spiritual being without blipping out of physical into spiritual.

Let’s give you an example of this. Many individuals have done astral projection--where you travel beyond space and time. They’ve gone into the space where they are floating around the universe, completely connected to All-That-Is, in the bliss of love and acceptance that is All-That-Is. And, then, in a moment, they go, “Oh my god, What if I can’t go back into human?” 

In that instant, boom, they’re back in their physical body. That is the safeguard measure that keeps you in physical body. In reality, if you didn’t have an ego to keep you connected, you could just bleep out of the body at any moment and be gone. But, then you wouldn’t stick around to learn the lessons. 

We have certain safeguards and certain rules and certain things in place to keep you in the physical body, to keep you learning and growing. Because the ultimate goal is to learn and grow.

For example, you’ve heard about the Dalai Lama or Mother Teresa or Deepak Chopra or many others you don’t even know, who spend a lot of time being in the non-physical realm (via meditation and other techniques). They and then you come back into the physical to play. 

You, too, can come into that space where you are one with the universe, gathering information and being one with All-That-Is. It’s like reading a gigantic book with the information of All-That-Is, that you can then bring that back into being human. You’re able to do both. The great yogis can do this. They can disconnect from their physical bodies regularly. Most people don’t ever meet someone who can do that. There are very few anymore who can. But you could do that (if you wanted to, with training and practice). It’s just another way of playing in the dimension called life on planet Earth.

So, the big answer is yes; it is of value in the human game for you to continue to reach ways to grow in your human life. There is a benefit to be awake and aware and still be in touch with the spiritual essence of All-That-Is. And, it's just as valuable someone chooses to be in this incarnation as a person not dealing with that woo-woo, metaphysical, spirituality stuff. One could keep your nose to the grindstone kind of human, working in a factory, or in a coal mine, or in a completely disconnected place because you are learning that way, too. All of the lessons, by all of the humans on Earth, are of value.

KYM COCO:
I understand that all experiences and life paths have value. I teach yoga, for example. This is a craft that can alleviate stress in the body, create more flexibility, allow people to be healthier for longer periods of time, and have a broader perspective. It also helps people to not take things personally. We get many benefits, on many levels from this practice, with an ultimate goal of having a stronger connection to our spiritual nature. 

But, if every experience is of value, why would I even want to encourage people to learn through yoga? Do we want to sell the idea of yoga, even if another path they chose is of equal value?

Said another way, what are the benefits of teaching yoga?
What are the benefits of being aware of spirituality? 
And, why would I want to encourage others on that same journey?

GREGORY:
Teaching yoga is of value because there are others out there who are looking to be aware of their body in new ways and to be aware of their spirituality. There are those who have chosen that particular path in this time, and you’re teaching them possibilities and alternatives that they may not have seen until now.
 
The people who want to work in a factory, who want to find out what it’s like to have a life of struggle (well, not all factories equate to struggle, but we are using that as an example). If they choose a struggle-full environnement, a struggle-full group of people with which to interact, to be in an argumentative relationship because they want to learn how to argue, they won’t come to your yoga classes. They have chosen a different path. The people who are in this life to learn the lessons of struggle won’t come to the people who are trying to help enlighten. 

But if there’s an individual who chooses a struggle-full life,and at some point in time starts asking, “does it really have to be this hard? I see people who are enjoying their lives, in tune with their body, looking younger. How might that be for me?”

The minute someone asks that question, we (as non-physical guides) have permission to guide them toward someone like you (or BobbieG or us). You might say, “well, I can’t solve every problem you have, but I can show you how to move your body and make you feel better.”

In helping them limber up their body, and eat more healthily, and think more healthily, they might move out struggle-full existence because they may not need to be in struggle their whole lifetime. If they manage to live longer than they did when they originally came here, then they have more opportunities to play in more dimensions where there are others able to offer those important dimensions.

KYM COCO:
So, what you’re saying here is that there are people that choose learning experiences that choose struggle. And, some of those people will choose to stay in that environment to learn that lesson. But, there are people who will start asking questions about how could they make life easier, or how they might learn more. In asking those questions, they give people who already have a deeper connection an opportunity to be teachers, and continue their learning, and offer there are more ways to do that. Is that right? 


GREGORY:
Let’s use the example of Bobbie. There are four siblings in her family. All of those siblings were born into various levels of conflict and struggle in the family of origin. One individual has chosen to stay in the struggle her whole life. She believes this is as good as it gets, that this is life on Earth. She believes that this is a reality, and that is the reality she’s sticking with. Another individual has moved above that, and taken a more positive approach. Yet, they also vacillate between various layers of struggle, because life can be a challenge. 

Bobbie and her brother were born into the struggle, and in different ways, chose to say, “Well hold it. Maybe there is another alternative here.” He has chosen different teachers, different learnings than those of his sister. 

In order to move past what they were born into, and the original lessons for Bobbie, she wanted to figure out why people born into a circumstance like her would behave and think the way they do. Once she figured it out, and she gave the information back to All-That-Is, she recognized the lesson. She said, “let me try something different.” 

As she moved up the rungs of the ladder [of awareness], we were able to bring her different teachers. Sometimes there were metaphysical teachers. Sometimes there were physical teachers. Other times, guides. We could then bring her different experiences to grow and change. That is part of what you’re doing here, as Kym, because you came to learn how to be a teacher. You came to learn how to teach different things to different people on different levels. Your definition of teacher, and how to be a teacher, has transformed over time. You are learning new ways to teach and new ways to grow and new ways to share. It’s perfection for you to do this, and to be there for other people who are seeking what you have to teach, while you, yourself, are seeking new teachers. You see, everybody wins in this game.

KYM COCO:
I have two questions as a result of what you just said. First, with the example of Bobbie, did acknowledging the learning allow for the next phase of learning? 

GREGORY:
Well, yes and no. At the level you are at right now (as Kym), you acknowledge your learning. It was at the beginning of Bobbie’s learning, at the beginning of her awakening. She simply thought, “It doesn't have to be this difficult. Wow! How did I end up here?” 
Here’s where the soul comes in. Without having conscious, thinking memories about where she came from, there was a part of her that knew it didn’t have to be this difficult. In the pain of where she was at, she thought it has to be easier than this. THEN, she was at the point where she could acknowledge the learning, and move on.

There are various ways of connecting [to the soul], and at the beginning, it might not be through awareness.

Be aware of your options, and the path of those options. The difference is that for some people, they are aware that they are in pain, and their decision is to be stuck in the pain and that is as good as it gets. Their life will continue to be pain.Others will notice they are in pain, and will ask if it has to be that way. The minute they ask that, they open the doorway to new possibilities. 

That is the beginning of the learning.

KYM COCO:
You give the example that struggle is one way to experience life, and still be seemingly disconnected from the spiritual aspect of the self. I feel you could look at people on the planet who are successful or abundant, but who could also still be disconnected and not be aware of spiritual self. Is that true?

GREGORY:
Absolutely. Society gets confused, and as they portray in the movies if you have money, you've got it made. And, you know as well as Bobbie and as well as billions of people on the planet, that there are many people who have been able to obtain material success who are still empty shells inside. And, they’re not happy with where they are at. 

The spirituality aspect is available to the richest of the rich, and the poorest of the poor. There is a documentary about happiness, and it showed a man on his bicycle taxi in India who is one of the happiest people in the show because he is blessed to be surrounded by people he loves. He feels full and happy that God has given him a tin shack to live in, so he is not in the street. Juxtaposed to the person who owns a billion dollars worth of stuff, and feels empty inside. It is not the dollars [that equate to satisfaction]. 

There are also people who are very rich who are doing everything they can to make this world a better place, and they are in bliss. It’s really about your willingness to connect to spirit. It’s not what your society says. Success is when you feel connected to yourself more times than not--filled up and whole inside--and able to touch the bliss and love of the All-That-Is. That is success.

KYM COCO:
One more question for today. I read a quote that talks about the energy that creates our souls, that comprises our souls, and is so powerful that it has to be reduced in order to take on physical form. Is that true?

GREGORY:
Yes. Let us explain.

The energy of All-That-Is, at any given moment, is vibrating at a gazillion gigawatts of power.

If you were to come into the physical body [at that rate], you would burn up at that level. So, when you come into the physical body, the [all-that-is] slows down the speed of vibration into the physical to play in this time-space continuum that has hours and minutes and days. And it does slow down.

Let us give you a more understandable example. When we started to work with Bobbie in the beginning, we would have her do her journaling. We would take her hand, and write a word. That was as good as she could get because that was as much of our energy as she could manage. 

At this point in time, during this conversation, she’s not even in this body. She’s out floating, being the essence that we call The Bobbie. She is here, but floating, and we’re in [her] body, physiologically to increase the vibration of her body to allow us to come through and be in this place, giving you this information. When we do this, we tell her she must have water, and she’s sucking on her straw for water throughout this whole thing because physiologically this is raising the vibration in her body.

They are doing tests now where they can read your body. Science is doing tests of the vibration in yogis as they are meditating, as they are connecting with the All-That-Is. The vibration of the brain and vibration of the body is actually expanded during that time. When a yogi is truly, truly practiced, they could physiologically move out of the body, and the body can move through a wall. Now, we don’t suggest anybody try this. But that potentiality happens when you vibrate at a higher level, because currently we are right with you, right now. You just can’t see us because we are vibrating at a higher level than you are. 

So, it’s all about the vibration. The show, Star Trek, played with this where they had people at different vibrations walking through walls. Some were also not able to talk to people who weren't moving because they were at a lower vibration. There was even an episode where they had energy beings who could transmit all over the place because they had a higher vibration.

At a higher vibration there are no walls; there is no density. There is no lack. There is no gravity. It is a higher vibration. So, in that way, in order for you to descend, in order to be in the planet and move in this modality and play this game, your vibration has slowed down. This is similar to how a piece on a board game doesn’t seem to have a vibration (because it is moving slower than you are). But, if you could put it under a microscope, you’d see it vibrating. Its vibration is just less than your vibration, because you have more life force within you than the pieces you move on a physical game board. 

Similarly, a plant has more vibration than some rocks. Some rocks have more vibration than other rocks. But, it is all vibration.

Said another way, we physically slow down our vibrational frequency to take on physical form from what our soul was prior to taking on that body.

The drop that is us flows into the body that we create, and makes the decision to vibrate at a slower level. It’s like people will tell you when they’ve been in an accident that they've disengaged from the body. They say they looked back at the body. The part of the soul disengages from the creation of the body in that moment. And, then, if it decides to live, it goes back into the body and re-adjusts the vibration again.

KYM COCO:
Often, we hear we have the capacity to leverage the power of the universe. So does that mean we have the ability to connect to the entire frequency of All-That-Is? Is that what that means?

GREGORY:
It means so many things.

When you say leverage, you have the power to access All-That-Is. And, in your ability to connect into that vibration, you create the capacity to manifest in your physical reality that which you are trying to manifest. That is a lot of what is going on here. Money is a big example for people. They say “I’m poor,” and they want more money. They are grabbing for it, trying to effort to make more of it. Trying to effort it rarely makes very much movement. Even if you do accumulate [more stuff], it doesn’t bring you the comfort that you are looking for. 

But if you tap into the All-That-Is, the bliss of being able to move more freely about the universe which is what you really want, then you can use your ability to tap into the wisdom of All-That-Is to find the way through to the abundance that you have, the freedom you are really seeking. In connecting with All-That-Is, you find that what you’re looking for is not money,. You’re looking for more freedom, for more expansion. When you read that message, then you can manifest more in your physical reality and play with how to manifest from nonphysical into physical by feeling the vibration and paying attention.

KYM COCO:
In doing so, does that mean we’re connecting with our soul to do that because our soul is already connected to All-That-Is?

GREGORY:
You’re never not your soul. You’re expanding the soul energy beyond the belief of your body, into the All-That-Is, to garner the information. It’s rather like right now, the soul that is Bobbie is combined with us, as Gregory. As we utilize her body, we have co-created to communicate the information to give you this message.

And, Bobbie is part of the All-That-Is, she will go back into the body when we are done with this message. We will still be here, but we won’t be maneuvering her body. It will be all Bobbie again, which is a slower vibration. Essentially, we slow down to utilize the vibration of her body.

As a reminder, just like all times with the Gregory, we invite you to read this in two ways: read it with your head the first time. Then, hear the words with all of your being. Allow yourself to stop periodically to feel how this is for you. Let it permeate your entire being. Absorb it. This is for you to play with, and to grow you, and to let you experience new ways of being, thinking, and holding the universe and new way of holding this universal information that is always available to you.

Take what you like, leave the rest, and let the good times roll!

KYM COCO:
Join us next time when we discuss:

  • The different levels of the soul
  • How we tap into the energy of the soul
  • How we understand the messages of the soul
  • The best way to balance the egoic mind and the spiritual self to make decisions.

For all this, and more, stay tuned to our engaging conversations of the soul!

Part 1: Soul Conversations with Gregory

April 25, 2018

 

KYM:  Hi, I’m Kym Coco and welcome to the first of many conversations we will be having with the Gregory Continuum, as channeled by Bobbie G, regarding the soul. 

The soul is an invisible aspect of humanity that often gets referenced, but may not fully be understood. Our aim is to discuss the nature of the soul, how it affects our lives on Earth, and how we can embrace the the power of it to maximize our human experience.

Once a month we will release an audio recording of content you see here. We have made the below transcript a bit more succinct, thus making it easier to read should prefer this mode of learning. Both reading and listening to this information about the soul will speak to you in different ways. We suggest you allow yourself the time to do both over the course of the month.

In any case, we suggest you do the following before reading or listening:
Get yourself into a centered space.
Gregory has a common thread throughout their conversations to have you take three, deep, cleansing breaths before they come forth. We suggest, if you are reading this, that you do the same. The audio format will invite you to do this along with them. If you have another way to do this for yourself--great! By being in a calm, open place, you will receive the answers you wish to receive more clearly.

Identify what the answers mean to you, personally.
All of the words conveyed in writing and audio form are simply energy and vibration in movement. Any words you hear from Gregory, via Bobby, or any content written below by Kym, have been interpreted through their ability to transfer vibration. They are using their understanding to explain the soul. And, the minute that happens, it goes from truth, to a concept. The minute it becomes a concept, it reflects only a portion of reality.

Thus, we encourage you to stop at various points in your reading or listening. Feel what is coming through you. Be in the energy of the information. Gather it. Absorb it. For only you can understand soul for yourself, and you do this through your attention, inquiry, contemplation, and emotion.

Keep an open, curious mind.
In order to fully comprehend the magnitude of your soul, it requires you to release any beliefs you hold about life, spirituality, and religion. We are talking about you embracing possibilities about yourself, and yourself as part of an infinite whole,. This will probably more you beyond any thoughts you hold about the subject already. When you keep an open mind, the wisdom of your heart and the knowing you hold deep within can move to the surface and create new ways of viewing and experiencing the world around you. 

4) Enjoy the journey.
We’re all along for this ride together, both those of us in physical form and those who are not. Have fun. Be playful. Take what you want, leave the rest, and enjoy the ride.


GREGORY: 
Here we are for another chance to experience and express ideas, options, and possibilities from the All-That-Is to all of who you choose to know. To begin with, let’s center up with three cleansing breaths. We invite you to sit with your feet flat on your floor, hands in the lap, with the palms facing up. Breathe in, and imagine that the air is coming up from the Earth, up through the body, and out through the top of the head. We ask you to hold the breath before breathing back out.

[Inhale. Hold. And, breathe out. Repeat two more times.]

As always, it is the intent of the Gregory Continuum--the twelve spiritual masters that have been here for eternity to work with humankind, and with all of the manifestations that go forth into spiritual form on planet earth--we are here to assist you in expanding your awareness and your ability to navigate your lives in more profound, awake, and focused ways. In doing this, it will allow you to create consciously, and co-create consciously, the life you want to live here. 

We are but one of many possibilities available to you (or to any who are listening) to expand your awareness of what it is to be a spiritual being in a physical body moving through your life here on the planet. 

The more awake and aware you are, the clearer your understanding will be about what you are doing here, the purpose of what you are doing here, what you want to choose next, what you want to release, and how you want to manifest in this particular time space reality continuum you call life on planet earth.

It is a wonderous game we have created here. “We” meaning you and us. It is not that we from non-physical have created [Earth] for you to play in. For, you have created it with us, and you have chosen to go into physical reality, to go in to play in this part of the game. And we have chosen to be not physical, to work with you while you play. You teach us while we teach you. And, we are most excited to be here yet again for another opportunity to expand on what it is you are asking. You want us to give you information to play with, to expand on your knowledge. We learn from you, with questions that you ask. 

It is a wonderous game we are playing here, my darlings. 

KYM COCO:
You talked about us coming into this physical plane, and many of us are aware of something larger than us. This is what we would call a soul. Can you explain what a soul is, and how it relates to us on the physical level?

GREGORY:
That is a huge question. 
Okay, we’re going to say that there are different levels of soul. There is the higher self, the part of your soul that is in connection with the energy of All-That-Is. It is kind of like a telephone connection between you and the All-That-Is. And, it’s a means by which you connect into the energy from which you came, and to which you will return. [We’ll talk more about this later.]

THE BEGINNING
Let’s start at the beginning of your physical existence. 

You’re in the All-That-Is. You’re one with the energy that creates universes, and that is the universe that is creating. This is the ever evolving, ever growing ever expanding energy of All-That-Is. It always has been and always will be. It never ceases. This is a concept that is hard for a human beings to understand, since [humans] have a beginning, middle, and end in this physical reality. 

Trust us: there is an energy always in existence. It was there before the big bang, and it will be there when the bang is no longer big. It doesn't matter--it’s always ever present. That is the energy from which we come.

In that space, you who have chosen to play here on this particular planet--on Earth in this time-space continuum--have chosen to go into a body. You chose to create a body.

It’s in this space, you begin to look at what it is you want to achieve and what it is you want to experience. 

[Let’s look at the soul, and this human experience through the analogy of molecules. The infinite energy is represented by the all of the drops in the ocean. You--being one with All-That-Is--are just part of the ocean.]

But when you choose to be a soul, you become a drop in the ocean, and that drop looks for how it is going to incarnate into the physical existence. Some drops, or souls, are more aware of what they are doing, and they make a more conscious choice to come into the body. They know who they are being born to, what lessons they want to learn, what they want to accomplish [while in the physical body]. They have a general overall plan. 

There are others who say, “I want to be in physical.” Then, boom, they’re in physical, and they don’t have a lot of discernment about that which goes on.

THE MANY CHOICES OF HOW TO LIVE LIFE

There are 7-9 billion people on the planet at this time, so there are that many different ways people chose to come into physical existence. When one drop decides to become physical, it can choose to become physical in the form of a human, or a plant, or a rock, or an animal. Or, it becomes a microbe. There as many different choices to be physical that you can see on this planet--with the limited knowledge of the planet. Any of those are possibilities of manifestations of energy. 

Each experience teaches you. Being a virus teaches you as much as being a human. It is just a different way of learning. 

But, for now, let’s keep it to the human experience. You come into being in this body, and in that, you take on a shape and a form. When you breathe your first breath, you are here. And, in that moment, there is the essence of the soul that you are,the aspect of you who chose to be physical. This essence moves into the body, and it believes and becomes the body. But, it is more than a body because at that point, there is a part of the soul that always needs to be connected with All-That-Is. The soul needs to feel the vibration of, and, needs to be part of, the All-That-Is. This connection is never completely severed.

The physical brain [of humans] believe it is the body, and believes its the human only. A baby can still feel the soul connection. Then, infants feel it a little less, and toddlers even a little less still. By the time humans are three or four or five, most of you have moved from that inner connectedness with All-That-Is into being human beings. Then you go to classes and schools and learn that you are a body that has a soul.

Instead, however, you are a soul that has created a body. 

THE REASON FOR STRUGGLE
And, in that divisiveness, is much of the struggle and pain that you experience in this life’s journey. There is a part of you that knows you are part of All-That-Is. And at the level from which you have disconnected from it, you seek to reconnect with it.  

You’re able to connect to it again through meditation, though learning, through channeling, through spiritual work of various formats. In those moments when you can connect with the All-That-Is, the soul feels at rest. It feels connected to the All-That-Is. And, it is at peace. 

And then, when you go back into your human living experience of the different things you came here to learn--to be physical, to talk, to walk, to interact, to move around the planet, to work--you get into your humanness and you feel separate from All-That-Is. You again feel separate from the soul.

As you can see, trying to explain what a soul is can be quite challenging because once you move from the drop of All-That-Is into the body, there is this energy of belief by the time you’re three to five where you are a body separate from the soul. Yet, this is not true. It’s never true. You’re always the soul that is being physical.

KYM COCO:
It sounds like what you’re saying is that the soul is the infinite aspect of our being, and the physical body is what appears to be finite (even though it comes and goes in physicality). It’s like the soul is our eternal aspect, and it helps define our energetic makeup.


GREGORY:
That is one aspect of it. It’s just that we’re trying to find words to put to energy and vibration and movement. We invite those who are listening to close your eyes, and to listen to the information. Feel what it feels like. [If you’re reading here, tune in to your body and notice how it feels.] We need words to convey the [information about the soul], but words are just part of the energy. Pick up the energy that is beyond the words and internalize them at the deeper levels of your own, unique being.

KYM COCO:
So, the soul is a unique experience to each individual, which is why words can never explain it clearly for everybody because each person is going to have their own interpretation.

GREGORY:
Yes. 

KYM COCO:
Now, you mentioned the soul is part of All-That-Is. The way the soul gets often talked about from the human perspective is that the soul in some way, shape, or form singular in nature. Kym has her soul. Bobbie has hers. Everyone has their own soul. Is that true? Or is the soul more about All-That-Is.

GREGORY:
In order to play the game called life on planet Earth, in order to come and play in the physical, you create the belief that you and your soul are separate from All-That-Is. It’s a belief structure. But, the reality is that All-That-Is is All-That-Is. You are always connected to it. 

KYM COCO:
That is the same reason I would think or perceive differently from anyone else on the planet right?. We are all energetic, we are all vibration, everything we see as different is just perceived as such. Is this correct?

GREGORY:
If only you could see it from our perspective! When we look at the hologram of Earth, which is the phraseology we are using, we see color and heat and vibration. Kind of like the Kirlian photography (some of those devices are accurate, and others are bogus). But that’s kind of the way we see it.

You are not separate from one another.
For example, when you and your husband, Steve, are being in each others energy, your vibrations and energy are intertwining within your environment.

Using the molecule analogy again, you are the drop of water in the ocean. But you are part of the ocean at the same time. There is no separation. It’s all intertwined. 

To play the game of physical, so you can experience and spread in this dimension, there is only the illusion of separateness.

KYM COCO:
You mention that often we come into physicality with a certain purpose, or  concept to learn, or desire to experience. It’s been portrayed [by other humans] that the soul takes the physical body because it needs to heal itself. Is that a false premise?

Said another way, why do we come into our bodies? And, do we do so to heal our souls?

GREGORY:
We would not use the word healing. It’s rather like you’re playing a board game--like monopoly--and you go around. Once you play the game, you choose to buy this property, or buy that location, and you choose to move around the board in this way or that way. And, at the end of the game, you’ve either won or lost. 

But, in our perspective, you never lose because you learn something. Then, the next time you play the game, you say, “last time I purchased Park Place right way, but it caused this, this, and that to happen. So, I think this time I play I'm going to buy the railroads instead.” 

So you buy the railroads because you want to play the game differently to see how it feels. It doesn’t mean we like a better game. It is just an example of how each time you play, you play differently because you want to learn differently. And, you want to see how it will turn out differently from the overall perspective.

The universe is infinite, so there is an infinite number of ways that you can play the game called life in the universe. Both you and us, as non-physical, are always exploring how many different ways it can be played. And in mankind, you want to know why you are doing this. [Why you are living life, or playing the game called life.]

The answer is: we are doing this because. End of story. 

We are doing it because it’s there.
It’s there for the doing.
It’s there for the experience. 
It's’ there for the expression.

THE ILLUSION
Now, once a drop has decided to become physical, it may choose to maintain that illusion of separateness in what you call multiple lives. This can continue in multiple dimensions, and in multiple realities. And, it will decide to play the game in multiple ways. In any case, it is always growing and always learning. And, as part of the All-That-Is, we see that as juicy because we get to see how this drop meanuevers through each particular game.

There is no wrong way to do it.
There are only different ways to do it.

In order to have some of the experiences you have, we (meaning you and us) create the illusion of real vs the unreal. We create the illusion of a reality vs an unreality. 

In actuality, everything is real and nothing is real. Your world is a dream and it’s not a dream. A dream is a as real as the world is. But, in order to navigate this game that we have going on here, there are divisions between real and fantasy. And in actuality, everything is real and nothing is real. That is the best we can do with words. 

KYM:
Yes, that was Gregory speaking those last few lines, and not Dr. Seuss!

These are big concepts we are discussing here and we suggest that you take some quiet time now to reflect on the information thus far. What insights do you have about yourself, humanity, or the broad spectrum of the Universe?

Maybe journal your thoughts, or talk about this with a friend.

Then, stay tuned for next week when Gregory answers the following questions:

  • What is the benefit of understanding the soul?Is one way of living life more valuable than another?
  • How do we learn and grow?
  • How do we know when a lesson has been learned?
  • How does the vibration of the soul fit into the physical body?

A View from the other side

September 5, 2017

I'm currently reading this fascinating book entitled "Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, the Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists are revolutionizing the way we live and work." It's so intoxicating that I'm reading before I go to work, on my breaks, and before bed. 

The main focus is exploring the upper ranges of the human experience, and how those peak experiences can be used to improve satisfaction, performance, connection with others, connection with the Divine, and much more.

There are four signature characteristics that underpin these ecstatic experiences, according to the authors. They are as follows:

How to Love big

June 13, 2017

Have you ever noticed that death, or even the subject of death, can illicit very odd behavior from even your closest of kin? Well, I've noticed some very interesting behavior even in myself this past week while I'm facing this firsthand.  The perfect example of this can be illustrated through an odd animal encounter yesterday.

I was sitting at the dining room table of the cabin, working away on my laptop. The beautiful clouds over a serene Lake Almanor put my inner turmoil seemingly at ease. I heard Kai frolicking around in the living room, so I went to see why she was so playful.

A loud shriek involuntarily erupted from my mouth...

Matthew McConaughy camping

Off the grid?

May 2, 2017

Over the weekend, I watched a recent T.V. interview of Matthew McConaughy on the David Feherty show. I've never been the star-stuck kind of person, reading People magazine or catching the latest online clips of Hollywood gossip, so I really don't know much about this actor. I learned that he's great at golf, and got started in acting as a result of getting kicked out of a bar due to a dramatic conversation about golf. What stood out to me the most was McConaughy's love for camping and the outdoors.  In preparation for this upcoming summer, I've been putting together a bucket list of camping destinations. This includes a return, after almost a decade, to Silver Falls, Oregon. This incredible spot is surrounded by Christmas tree farms, has quiet camping grounds, and contains a 9-mile hiking loop with ten amazing waterfalls along the way. I know that I choose to immerse myself in nature when I want to get grounded and connect with the most important things in my life. Turns out McConaughy did—and still does—the same thing.

When I was in Barbados a few years back, @cocoyogabarbados and I passed this grom on our way to surf freights. This aspect of watching and learning and making a plan is one of my favorite aspects of the surf culture. Plus, there’s a deep appreciation for waiting and watching. As the new year arrives, it can be tempting to just jump right in. But pay attention to the value of those quiet moments before you take action. You just might find that perfect inspiration you’re looking for... as well as a deep satisfaction for life as it is in the moment.

We’re in the process of transforming the backyard! Sometimes you have to celebrate the small steps along the way... even if the overall process takes longer than you think.

Gotta love the Sarasota boat parade!! This is a tradition in my hometown of Redondo Beach, and watching the festivities 2500 miles away makes me feel like I made the right choice to move here. What Celebrations warm your heart during this season? 🌲☺️🙌🏾
I love coming to the door of the unknown, excited and nervous at the same time to see what awaits behind it. Seven years ago we decided to invest in Sarasota. Saying “YES” to that unknown has caused amazing chain reactions in our lives! We now across the country twice per year by van. I now work remotely, able to write and teach from any location. And, I’ve learned to reach out and meet incredible people anywhere!! And that’s what yoga is all about—knowing we can change in any given moment for the better. We have the power to choose and the influence to create!

The question is, “what do you choose?” What unknowns are you up against? In what ways might you be open to the goodness that is in store for your future? ——
