Judgment Day
Written and transcribed by Terry Grant
This is the continuation of a message I have transcribed and edited from a talk Ishvara gave on October 23, 2005. - TG.
Ishvara:
You can disempower the scripts you have set into motion. You can withdraw the energy. The energy is yours to use as you wish; you just have to do it. You can’t keep making excuses. There are billions of excuses why you can’t do it, but there is only one thing: do it. That one cancels out the billions. I didn’t say it is simple. If it were simple the new humans would already be in place, and the world would already have changed. Yet the world is at the gate. It is stuck at that emotional level of excuses, judgment, pointing fingers, controlling, and blame.
This does not mean that you can’t use discernment to see what is going on in the world. But that is a place to be very cautious. You never know, you might get hooked. It is as if consensus reality is a great fisherman. It has attractive bait hanging on those hooks. The intellect says, “Well, that doesn’t look too dangerous. I can take that bait.” Then you’re hooked. Things start small, and seemingly innocent. It is like drugs. Your friends are having fun doing some drug. It doesn’t seem to hurt anything. They’re having a good time. You want to have fun too, so you try it out. It doesn’t hurt anything. After a while you realize you are hooked. You are enslaved. You have given your power to something else.
Emotions are as much of an addiction, a hook, as any drug out there. It requires persistence in clarity to get beyond them, analyzing and looking at how they come up, where the triggers are. You don’t need to go looking for them. If you’ve got a hook, it will snag some energy, and begin to play itself out. You can see that as a curse or a blessing. The blessing is that you get to see it is a hook, and you realize where you give your power away, where you fall, where you stumble. That is the moment when you can say, “I don’t think so. Why do I want to go there? Why is that so important?”
It is like someone who is walking up to you saying, “You’re an idiot,” and you draw back, make a fist, and get ready to punch. It is a big energy exchange, especially if the person is bigger than you are. It is better to say, “Thank you for your observation. I’ll take it into consideration.” And walk away. This doesn’t mean that you are going to be a wimp; it doesn’t mean that you are going to be run over. It simply means that you apply the energy where it is most efficient. The new species, the new human, is energy efficient, but not because of a lack of energy. Energy really deserves respect, and so in respecting energy you don’t misuse it -- not because there is a lack, but because you have respect.
It can be a good idea to think about emotions as dollar bills. Get a paper bag and, every time you indulge in an emotion, throw a dollar bill into the bag. Every time. Then, after a week has passed, see how much money is in the bag. If you do this concrete exercise, you can realize the cost, the energy exchange that is happening when you indulge in emotions. You recognize that it is very expensive to be right.
It costs nothing to find connection and to be harmonious. Of course, the intellect says, “Oh, I’m going to be run over, controlled, and manipulated. I’ll never get what I want.” That is a strong belief which sharpens the hooks of the emotions. It makes them even more ensnaring. If somebody is going to control you, or attempt to control you, let them, because control is expensive, and they’ll be spending their energy in controlling you, and it will cost you nothing. If you don’t have a resistance to it, they are actually giving you energy. Open your paper bag to them and say, “Here, fill it up.” This is a way of seeing and being. This is the way to look at Life.
There are many ways to look at Life, but if you really want to be all you can be, there is only one way: to see Life as a continuous, unfolding experience where you can always be on the high end. You don’t need to be the underdog, but you cannot be on the high end if you control, manipulate, or try to have your way. That pulls you under. It depletes the energy, and you sink. And sometimes it seems to be a bottomless pit, but you will hit bottom. When you hit bottom, you can jump and push yourself up to the top.
Nothing is final; nothing is fatal; nothing is the end. It is always the beginning. Don’t delude yourself into thinking you can be lost. Don’t delude yourself in thinking that all is lost. So you hit bottom. Human beings are very resilient. You can bounce up again. You can float to the top. You can swim to the top. After a while you realize there is no point. There is no point in trying to remain in control or to be right. There is nothing to prove; it is the same old picture. The knick-knacks are a little bit different, but it’s always the same old thing.
You come to this place where you have the courage to say, “This is the end, the end of everything I know, the end of everything I have been, the end of everything. The final judgment. I see how consensus reality has had its way with me, and I choose no longer to play the consensus-reality game. No longer will I be a pawn. No longer will I be what I was, but I will become what I am. It is judgment day.”
Judgment day is the final course for humans. Judgment day is graduation day. You wholeheartedly embrace the judgment, the discernments, the awareness, everything. You say, “Yes. That is the way it has been. I am done with that. It is time to move on. It is time to achieve the next level of awareness, existence, and connection. It is time to live the Life that I am truly designed to live, not as a wimp, not in powerlessness, not in ill health, but to claim what is rightfully mine, as a new human, entering The New Consciousness, free of emotional trauma of the past." All the hooks melt.
