Another Transmission from The Reconnections.....
FAMILY TREE, FAMILY ME
My Dear Friends:
We have spoken, in other transmissions, about the similarities between the design of your modern computers and the inner mechanisms of personal consciousness (PC) with which you function everyday. Indeed, humanity did not *discover* computer technology and develop it merely to make life easier. Instead, humanity has simply *remembered* these principles as tools to better understand how you all think, remember, and function in the mental and spiritual realms.
Following along, therefore, with this great analogy---we will call your attention to the "Windows Explorer" portion of your computer, where you will find a number of icons that indicate all of the various files and applications that are contained on each machine. You will notice that, when a topic needs to expand itself for greater clarification and detail, it will "fragment" into what is called a "tree." Then, when the topic is ready to be compacted again, the tree will be "defragged" back into a single icon.
This portrayal of knowledge and memory flow is so relevant to understanding your own mind and soul that it cannot be ignored. Each person is like a single icon that exists in the Windows Explorer on your PC. Everything begins and ends with YOU. Never forget this, even though it runs contrary to everything you may have been taught up to this point. In the beginning was the WORD, and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God. In your universe, YOU are the WORD for all your Windows. God is not diminished when you realize this. He/She simply becomes a bit more *conscious,* in His component parts. There is no separation between you and Christ, Buddha, or whoever else receives your prayers.
As you perceive your world, in any given moment, that single icon begins to divide. A TREE is formed that portrays the dichotomy called "Me and_______." Before the split, all objects and persons exist INSIDE OF YOU. As the tree begins to form, they externalize into separated, discreet entities within prescribed contexts of reality. Whenever an entity appears---anywhere in time or space---a DOUBLE FRAGMENTATION has occurred. First, it has become a reflection for YOU, the creator for your personal universe. You have spoken the WORD, and given birth to a physical reality in order to teach you things about yourself. Only YOU can decide what that object or persons means, and only YOU decide what effect(s) they will have on your experience and existence.
In addition, the entity becomes a creator unto him or herself. This is the second split. Whether he is aware of you (as a part of himself) or not, that icon becomes a PRIME FACTOR for creation in his own universe. It's very multidimensional, you see? And each time the icons split, they are doubling themselves at every level---creating universes in which they can experience and also ones in which they can *be* experienced as well. These alternative universes are called MIRROR WORLDS.
FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
We will now invoke the name of a well-known religious radio program to steer this discussion into a topic that is of interest to all of you: the family. Until now, many have thought of themselves as a *product* of the union of two individuals (their parents), who were themselves products of the union of four other individuals (their grandparents), who came from yet other sets of ancestors, and so on. Together they embody what is called a "Family Tree."
Your race has developed tools, such as Sociology, Anthropology and Psychology, to assist you in understanding and identifying all of the relationship dynamics that have occurred in this fragmentation process---originating from a single icon at the top of your Windows Explorer. The question to be answered is: which came first, the chicken or the egg? Or more to the point: Are you the product of your parents, or are they actually fragments that sprang from YOUR tree? When all the "defragging" is done, who will be the one icon at the top of your "See" Drive?
On the surface, this may seem like an insane distinction. And those who have not been exposed to "Multiverse 101," may be somewhat indignant about even entertaining this question. After all, weren't your parents here *first,* before you were even born? No, not exactly. All occurrences in time and space are simultaneous. All lifetimes are happening concurrent to each other, every context playing itself out within its own frequency of vibration. Whereas a physical universe appears to be laid out within a linear sequence---past, present, and future---that is basically illusion. Likewise, the relationships of all the players to each other are assigned IN THE MOMENT, and can be changed by a mere flick of the creator's pen.
With all of this in mind, how shall you interpret and understand your own family tree? To begin, you must realize that your parents embodied the masculine and feminine characteristics and tendencies that you brought in with you when you decided to become physical. If the construct of your family was compared to a math problem, your parents were the "givens" for an equation in which YOU are the ultimate answer. As you see and interact with them (and they with you), the entire equation changes. When change occurs, it happens to the entire FAMILY UNIT, all of which are a mirror of YOU.
The original icon in a programming tree is actually the *only icon* that was ever there. All fragmentations that grow from it are branches of the same ONE TREE which is now, always was, and forever shall be. All appearances of separation and division are mental perceptions that have been added for the purposes of learning and/or personal amusement. Therefore, in your universe, your parents were "born" exactly at the same time you were. You came in at age "0" and they came in at (for example) ages 28 and 33. In fact, the *entire universe* came into being when you did. And when your eyes close for the last time, all of them transition as well. This is an age-old Kabbalistic truth, and if you haven't yet encountered it, you'd best deal with it now.
In your parents' universes, each of them are the prime factor for their equations. As you may know---a "prime factor," in mathematics, is a number that can only be divided by itself and "1." Thus, the Multiverse contains a limitless storehouse of individuated universes---each of them honoring and embodying the personal history and expansion of ONE single icon.
APPLICATIONS FOR YOUR P.C.
Of what use are all of these abstract analogies dealing with computer trees and fragmentation? It is simply this. Whatever you are struggling or dancing with in your physical life---it is always yourself. And if this be true, why are you so hung up on it? Why does it carry such a *charge* for you? Answering *that* question is the whole purpose of this present dance, isn't it?
A child can say: "My parents hurt me........." And that may be true. But *who* is ultimately the artist who was wielding the hammer and chisel that struck those blows and who carved his image in the stone? Who was the WORD in your universe? You can give away that power if you want to. In Reconnections jargon, we call that "throwing your voice." So a young adult grows up, resentful, believing that his parents really "screwed him up." This makes a fun limitation spiral, so long as he can continue to sidestep the innate knowledge that ALL SEPARATION is illusion. And then he gets old and looks in the mirror one day and notices that he has become the spitting image of his father or mother. He says: "Yipes! I have been possessed!" But really, he has simply DEFRAGGED those parts of his computer tree back into their designated source.
Do you want to keep on fighting this? Is there more you want to get from your Game of denial and separation? Be our guest. There's always time for more research. Your father beat you up when you were 10. Your mother manipulated you all through your teens. Do you have a case against them? Maybe. But sooner or later, the child must realize that it is HE who carried within him the violence and abusiveness, and it is HE who tends to manipulate to get what he wants. Your parents were just the tip of your iceberg---but it was YOU they revealed, even though you have managed to turn away from that knowledge for much of your life. And you, within *their* individual universes are but a mirror of them---each person lending his image to the other for purposes of learning and growth in the Oneself.
As the various branches of your family tree are broken off or defragged, the remnants have nowhere to go but to return to the prime factor from which they came. In each perceptual universe, that source is YOU, manifesting yourself in all the ways you need to. In more expanded levels of Being, there are Gods and Archetypes who will temporarily hold onto this realization for you. But in the end, each fragment of the Greater Whole must admit----and must come to grips with----the knowledge that every Family Tree is really a Family ME. And with that realization, comes the strength to let go of your excuses, finish your personal "saga," and forever dismiss your case against the powers that be.
