While we are coming in, set your intentions for your transactions with us this evening.  Start with a 5 minute meditation.  Breathe. Allowing your energy to settle.  Flow.  Think about having your feet on the drain in a bathtub.  Turn on the faucet and energy flows through you from head to toe and down the drain.  You are the faucet.

P:  I feel buffeted by the tumult of the world.  I would like reminders of restoring and maintaining equilibrium. 

H:  You have played tennis.  When you are using your racket to strike the ball where are your eyes focused?

P:  On the ball. 

H:  everything that is happening around you are merely red herrings to take your attention from the ball.  One thing that helps maintain equilibrium is understanding the things that are important to you.  What are your goals? Who are the people that are important?  What things do you like to do?

Answer these questions. Then keep your eyes on those things. Treat those things that are important to you as if you are growing a plant.  Give it water, food, sunlight, etc.  Look at your life and decide what things are important to you then do not take your eyes off the ball. 

What bothers you about this answer?

P:  Things that are important to me – what I do and how I live are important to me. But what I do and how I live also includes the country I am living in and part of my eye is on that ball.  I understand in part what you are saying. 

H:  Give us one of the many things that are happening in your country.  One thing.

P:  My President has decided the U.S. can own Gaza and develop it as a rich resort. 

H:  You cannot control another person.  As long as you try to control another person, you will not be successful.  You cannot control those things that another person does. 

P:  How do I retain my own equanimity?

H: Your current president is going to say whatever he says and it is likely going to upset you. There are several things you can do. We would like you to practice “what if ownership of Gaza as a resort is a good idea?  What if the people who live there now would benefit from the tourism trade?  What if there were good things about that that you can’t see right now?”  Look for the doog.  The Universal manipulation is exquisite and these things are happening to help you stay centered. This is a learning opportunity for you to decide what you want and an opportunity to create something as an answer to the problem. 

When you and the entity were talking today and yesterday about think tanks and how you might get together with like-minded people and talk about ideas and solutions, one of the questions that came up is what are the qualities that you would like to see in your president?  When you see something that bothers you, especially, ESPECIALLY,  as profoundly as your current president is bothering many of you, this is a  BIG, HUGE  opportunity for you as individuals or you as a group to think up some kind of solution.  You can’t do anything to change Trump. But you could start a conversation about what qualities in the president you would like to see. What would thrill you? What would your solution to Gaza’s problem be? How would you approach these things? 

One option:  As you begin to think of a solution, you are living out your intentions for your life experience.  You’re smiling.  What are you thinking? 

P:  I’m laughing because I was going to write to Senator Murray and the entity said before I fire off an angry letter I should offer some solutions.  And I said I have no solutions, I’m just mad. 

H:  We applaud you.  You are responding to your anger.  If you do not respond to your anger, it builds up and you feel less powerful to the point that you are impotent.  So now you fire off a letter. Then what is your next more powerful step? 

Restore your equanimity – laughter is a good way.  Staying centered on the things that are important to you is another way.  Recognizing that you cannot control another person is a great way to restore your equanimity and thinking up potential solutions is another way to restore your equanimity.  Could you write a solution in 4 lines that rhyme? 

P:  I could write my thoughts in 4 lines that might rhyme.

H:  Friend, we see you are laughing and you are much lighter than when we began this conversation.

 We know you are resistant to the idea of trying to solve the world’s problems because it is a pretty big problem.  But if not you, then who? You are looking for something to do.   You have a computer.  You are not going blind. You can figure out solutions with the tools and the skills and capabilities you have.  You could do something of value.  And when we say these things, we feel people saying (thinking), “Oh wait, thanks Higgins why don’t you just do it?”

Well, we don’t do it because we can’t do it.  Right?  We can help you think things up.  We can help you with ideas. We can help you understand how things work but in the end you’re the ones in physical and you have to take action.  We always say, “It’s not a whole lot of action.  It could be hard but not that hard, because the hard things are broke into jillions of small easy steps. You’re the one it is bothering. 

Your daughter says, “Mom I know exactly what you should do.”  The person who has the idea, the angst, or is bothered by something, that is the sign that you are the person who should work on it. If it bothers you it is for you to find a solution    You see something that needs to be done you take a step on it.  Why do you take a step on it?   For your happiness, for your interest, because you will feel potent.   That brings you back to feeling your equanimity and gives you a feeling of power.  When you take action you are no longer feeling there is nothing you can do about it. You absolutely can do something about it.  It might be seemingly infinitesimal; it may seem like nothing to you. But it is not unimportant. No matter how large or small the step you are invited to take you are never being asked to do something more than you can do. Sometimes the steps are so small that you physicals don’t bother to take them.  But they are so powerful and so important.    We want you to understand WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT BOTHERS YOU, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO MUST RESOLVE IT. 

(Long conversation about what Trump is saying about Gaza.) 

P:  Whatever his motivation, the absurdity of what he wants to do is invigorating other world leaders on the topic of peace. Everyone is now talking about Gaza.  Trump could get a dialogue going in another direction that could get us closer to peace.

P:  I’m going back to what Higgins said about what I can do.  I can speak.  I am reminded of what Martin Niemöller said:  First they came for the communists and I didn’t speak.  Then they came for the socialists and I didn’t speak because I wasn’t a communist or a socialist.  Then they came for the Jews and I didn’t speak because I wasn’t a Jew.  Then they came for me and there was no one to speak up.  I think I hear what Higgins is saying.  I can speak.

P:  I think that is what’s happening is Trump inadvertently is a huge catalyst for change and I believe the change will be very positive because people are speaking up and we are not going to sit back this time.  He had to come back because we  didn’t get it the last time he was president. 

H:  Getting back to K, we appreciate you looking for doog. 

P:  What exactly is doog?

H:  the opposite of good is bad.  We want you to consider the opposite of good as being doog.  When you are in the valley and look up at the mountains, you say wow, what beautiful mountains.  If you are on the mountains and looking into the valley you say “what a beautiful valley.”  Opposite of good doesn’t have to be bad.  It can just be opposite or something else.  We are helping you on a regular basis with this concept of doog.

Your physical health, vision, abilities, whatever, are limited by your thoughts about yourself, not about what you actually can do.  You may not be able to do it as easily as you once did.  Your body may not feel good while you are doing it. As you experience ‘aging’ you may not want to express yourself by the physical means you have left because what you are capable of now is not the robust way you perceive yourself, but if you will  start looking for the doog in your current state of health, whatever it is, you will find ways to express yourself that are very useful.  If, perhaps, small.  But, remember, when a butterfly flaps its wings, the whole universe knows this was done. Your small efforts are heard just as loudly in the Universe as much as the big ones.

P:  I believe in miracles and I am not giving up on the miracle. 

H: We believe in miracles, too.  What miracle are you looking for? 

P:  Improved vision and now my hearing is a bit wonky so hearing, too.

H:  Miracles do happen.  There are other countries who are more willing to let miracles happen than this one.  We are pleased with your comment.  You expect your body to do what you need it to do.  We understand that the body times out.  It isn’t as easy to see or hear; variations are true for everyone.  Different things happen to different people.  Time changes things.  We know that you can live life right up to your last day very well.  Illnesses – whether they be vision, or hearing problems or cancers- whatever they are, are long-held beliefs finally showing up in your physical body.  We want you to focus on your happy things.  Focus on your goals and the things that are important to you.  As you do this, other things don’t have a home. 

You know of petri dishes? When you are going forward in joy; when you are living your life the way you want to live; when you have identified what the perfect life is.  As you are living that perfect-for-you life, then those things don’t have a healthy environment to live in.  You are not a successful petri dish for them when you are happy and feeling powerful and positive. These things are only good for growth when you are not thinking positively.  Law of Attraction happens.   All the things you have been thinking about aging for a long time have shown up.  We know how hard it is for you to hear these words and claim them.  You say, “I would not have done this to myself.”  You didn’t do this on purpose.  The Law of Attraction showed up and that is why it appears that as you age you get illnesses.   It is just that all these things you have been thinking for a very long time are showing up.

The entity for a long time could barely walk around.  Now she has a shoulder problem. These are things that she carries with her chronically.  No matter how hard or what we say she still has the belief that things are hard and she can’t do it.  Well, the painful feet and sore shoulder are things that show up. But if she would say, “Yes, but look at all these smaller things that are metaphors for this,” and, “Wait, I’m doing that every day,” she would fill her life with success rather than failures and soon her health would improve. That goes for each of you.

We know that you are achieving your goals every single day and we would have you look for your successes every day.  Brushed your teeth = success!  Brushed my hair = success! Put some clothes on.  Woo hoo!  Pat yourself on the back.  Make sure that you are acknowledging the things that you do. 

Let’s go back to creation:  this is not just theoretical that your beliefs and thoughts  show up in your life experience.  When you get something that you want, if you can carry that uplifted feeling with you that will help bring the thing that you want.  You have to develop in yourself not just happy thoughts but believing thoughts. 

If you think about getting up and  going from here to there you don’t think about  it very much. It isn’t hard for you to do because you know how to do it.

To M:  If we were to tell you that M wasn’t your child, what would you say? 

M:  so what? 

H: We know that you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that M is your child. 

M:  Far as I know.  If you can believe that the thing that you want is yours as powerfully as you know M is your child, then it is yours in every case.  The trick to creating is to make an environment that is friendly towards the thing that you want.  Look at the smaller things in front of you, because the thing you want is already right there.  The thing that you want is right there.  The entity is not recognizing it because it doesn’t look like what she wanted and it won’t for a while so look right there.  It may not look like what you want now but it is there in front of you.  Look at what you have. You have everything you need when you need it but you don’t recognize it because it doesn’t look the way you thought it would look.  If you begin to acknowledge that you have so many of the things that you need and want and start expressing your satisfaction and gratitude for the things you have, such as how well your mind works, how well you articulate your words, etc. you have many things that are going very well for you.  If you have a thing you want to grow, you have to tend it like a garden.  Choose what you want and then tend it. 

The Entity did something today and it will make her $30.  Will $30 shift her life overtly?  No.  But is it like butterfly’s wings?  Yes.  When you start butterfly wings flapping you will start noticing the things you want are showing up.  You have it but you haven’t noticed you have it.  Each one of you tell us one thing right now that you really appreciate about your life.  (we did).

We encourage you at least once a day find quiet time to appreciate things that you appreciate. Do you remember the book Frederick?  

P: Oh yes, my favorite book of all time.

H:  tell us about Frederick. 

P:    He is a mouse whose mind is full of colors, and his mind is full of beauty and his mind is full of wonder and his mind is full of experiences. All around him all the other mice are rustling and being busy getting ready for the winter and getting the food and Frederick is dreaming of his memories and color and beauty and experiences.   Other mice are angry with Frederick because he isn’t doing his part to store food for the winter.  Then winter comes and when the food supplies run low Frederick tells them about his memories, beauty, color and experiences and the mice have something to help them get through the long, cold winter nights. 

Think about the things that are beautiful – sunrises and sunsets and beautiful snowfall -and spend some time every day thinking things are going well for you, beautifully for you.  That in itself will create a very positive environment. 

Goal setting:  We have said many times your work from where you are to where you want to go is not hard.  The steps will be shown to you.  They may be small and easy to take and there may be a lot of them.  You won’t be expected to jump hurdles you can’t jump but you may need to build steps to get over the hurdles.    There are all sorts of things you can do to get from Point A to Point B.  You can’t get to Point B if you don’t decide on a goal.  We are encouraging you to set some goals.  Set achievable goals. If a goal for you seems not achievable, it’s only not achievable because you don’t make small enough steps toward your goals to get there.    We really want you to think about goals this week and instead of thinking about your perfect life which some of you are having a hard time deciding, think about some goals that you have.  See how good it feels to start working toward goals and achieving something.  End result may be way over there and you can start taking steps today.  Make small enough goals to get to the bigger goals.  Take steps today:  set little goals that will take you on your route.  It is fun.  You can feel potent every time you succeed in a goal.  10,000 small successes that lead to one huge one.

P:  What do you think about affirmations? Muhammed Ali says it is the repetition of affirmations that lead to belief and once that belief becomes a deep connection things begin to happen. 

H:  We strongly recommend affirmations. 

P:    I think saying something over and over again is not very powerful.  It is just mindless repetition.  Maybe I’m doing it wrong. 

H:  We like affirmations.  If you do not get a powerful feeling then you need to back down from affirmations until you do believe them.  Somewhere there is truth.  When you say “I want this and I want that” and this works for you, keep going and at the same time reword an affirmation till you do believe it.  You can say “I am really good at math” and you don’t believe it.  Instead maybe say “I want to be really good at math” and you can wrap your mind around that. Or, say “I am really good at adding and subtracting all the numbers between one and 10.”  That would be true.  You just need to back down to a place where you believe the statement and then step it up a little at a time until you get to the more powerful statement you started out with. We believe affirmations can be very powerful.  They help you move in the right direction.  You hear things over and over as a child , we know you did, that set your path for you.  And that was very successful.  You were helped along in the direction you wanted to go.  Affirmations can be used to turn the old things around. 

Example for Participant: Here are the ways I am of value:   I help animals at the clinic.  I help out at church. I am a good friend.  There are many more ways you are of value and you can think them up because you know your life better than anyone. And so start finding the ways that  bring you into  connection with your affirmations because they are very powerful.  The more you hear something the more quickly the subconscious begins to believe it.
