Transcript of the channeling

There are also differences, of course, in perception among humans. Those differences in perception vary widely depending on a number of factors, not the least of which is what we have called soul age, which is a rather limiting term, if you think about it. There are infinite permutations that affect perception in human experience.

So it is limiting, of necessity, to try to boil down an entire spectrum into levels.   For within each of those levels, of course, exists a part of the spectrum.  This is only a division of the entire spectrum into seven sections, each of which is a spectrum in itself.  So if you have that understanding, and you have the understanding that there are multiple other factors also affecting one's perception, then you understand how difficult it is to narrow down this wide experience to particular words that then makes sense to you.  This concept holds true for anything we discuss that is discussed in terms of "levels".  This concept may be useful to apply to everything that you have already heard about that is discussed in terms of these levels.

We will talk about anger this evening .

Anger as you know exists because of perception of lack.  There is a perception of justification that there is something missing.  There is this sense of "something missing" that must be attributed to something else.  This is where you get the concept of blame from.  It is tied to this feeling of lack, for the human mind searches to find an answer to something.  It sees a "problem" and wishes to find a "solution". The human mind, in general, is not geared toward seeing an entire situation, seeing the bigness of it, seeing all the possibilities.  The human mind is geared toward remaining within secure limits.  So holding this perception of how your mind works as a species on the physical plane may help you understand.

We have said before that anger arises from the perception of a lack. This creates on an energetic level of feeling of imbalance.  The fragment is then pulled towards finding a way to maintain balance somehow.  Since there is not the perception that this lack arises from the inability to see the wholeness, it goes searching to find this lack, which causes the imbalance: tipping over the side, moving off the tightrope, moving away from center.  The fragment then goes searching for this lack, looking for a reason for it. Typically the search is done externally.  We must look toward others for why we feel a lack within ourselves. This looking externally causeless one to regard others with suspicion: "Oh!  It's their fault!  They did something!". It is so much easier to accept that than to accept responsibility for one's own lack of perception.

Another common way to go searching is searching inward: "I am not enough. Therefore, I lack."  This causes anger inward.  This causes feelings of self-loathing, feelings of emptiness.  "It can't be anyone else's fault -  they look fine to me.  It must be mine."  We are looking for faults, again, because of an inability to see the wholeness.

Regard, if you will, the moon.  You will pretty much know that the moon is an entire wholeness to itself.  It's a spherical shape.  You can imagine all of it existing.  However, you only see one side of it.  You see the side that has light on it.  You don't see it as a spherical shape because you're not close enough to it.  If you stepped back a little form your life you change your perspective.  By stepping back you change of perspective and you can see the entirety of it.  You see the whole thing.  You see that part of it has light on it and part of it is in the dark.  You can't see that part that's in the dark but you know it's there because you have stepped back and changed your perspective.

Can anyone change their perspective and see this bigness about themselves? Because we have already told you tonight that all of you have such widely varying perspectives; there is infinite number of ways in which you can perceive your Self, the world, the universe and others.  So truly can everyone step back to an extent where they can see the bigness of their life

Frankly we will tell you no.  It is not within the scope of human perception to always be able to see this bigness.  So there are those of you who unfortunately will always feel a lack based on what they cannot see, and will always then move into that state of anger over that feeling of something missing.  Does that make you feel sad, thinking that there are some of you who will always be in a state of anger?   Well, a state of anger is simply a fear that there is something missing.  It doesn't mean there is anything actually missing. It's simply a response.  So it needn't cause sadness on the behalf those who will hold anger as part of their life experience.  After all, anyone listening to this now will have been in that state at one time.   But we will say that most of you hearing us speak will be able to, in some fashion, step back from your life to the extent in which you will not remove anger from your experience, but be able to perceive your own wholeness.

Does that mean that anger will not exist in your experience?  No, not at all.  Anger is also a learned response to that perception of something being missing.   If it's a learned response does this does not mean you can unlearn it?  Of course.  You can choose a different response.  You can also choose how anger manifests within you.  As we said before we have divided up the spectrum - the entire spectrum of anger - into seven parts.  Some make you feel smaller.  Some help you expand your awareness.  You move from one end of the spectrum to another. 

By staying to the expansive end of the spectrum of anger you increase your perception.  You are aware of the potential of your bigness, yet you're also aware that there something missing.  You're okay with that.

Have you any questions ?

Question:  You haven't said what the seven levels were .

You are correct.  In that case, we will discuss then.  We will discuss them on a scale from the very smallest to the most expansive

• Level 1 of anger is ire.  This is an explosive state.  It is a blaming state.  It attributes the lack to others or to oneself fully.  It does not account for any possibility of there being anything but a lack.  It is a fear-based state and tends to be quite isolating.  It alienates others.
• Level 2 we would term as annoyance.  At this level one begins to acknowledge a difference in causation of the feeling.  Yet one is not able to discern the nature of the lack, and there is concern that one will always exist in that state.
• Level 3: contentiousness.  Level 3 looks toward others or to the self and is unhappy with the results.  There is an attempt to blame, but there is no satisfaction from the blaming.  This may be the most confusing level to be immersed in, as there are no clear answers, yet there is a desire for clear answers. 
• Level 4: attainment.  At this level there is a profound sadness.  The blame is not satisfying, but the amount of confusion is heightened.  However, the person operating in this level does indeed begin to step back a little and to begin to grasp the concept that there may be a wholeness.  However, it is not evident and there is much fear from this perception of lack, and sadness arises at the inability to make strong connections with what is being perceived.
• Level 5 is euphoria. This is the level where the wholeness is perceived on a knowingness level in the heart, mind, and in the being.  There is still the perception of lack, but there is the awareness that there is more.  And from that awareness comes a completed or heightened sense of wholeness of the Self. It is not clear where this comes from, and indeed the person operating at this level will search for answers to explain the apparent discrepancies, but there is not a great degree of questioning at this level.  There is euphoria, then, from finally accepting the Self as being whole despite the apparent perception of lack. 
• Level 6 is connection.  In this level it is seen how to see the wholeness.  This level is seldom attained, and is typically attained only through pre-life agreement to do so.  In other words, a person will purposely set up certain situations in life - challenges and perceptions - that enable one to move through into this level of connection and to see how many ways there are connections between perception of the Self, perception of others, and perception of the entire universe.  Not only is the lack seen, but there is love for it. 
• Level 7 is a state of complete love and acceptance for all the ways in which perception can manifest.  

Now you may be asking, “what do these levels have to do with anger exactly, because I didn't hear a lot about anger!”  You are correct.  Anger as seen culturally is a manifestation of a perception.   To our mind, it is an energetic state.  You may be interested to know that for any group of, say, 10 people you will get 10 different answers if you asked them what they feel they feel anger, yet everyone accepts it that feeling is indeed anger.  It is much like asking what is the color green. Does everyone perceive green the same way?  Are you sure? How do you know?   

Anger in the higher levels -  we will say level 5 (and partially level four) and above - tends to for most people manifest is a heightened sense of awareness: a sense of power, a sense bigness, a sense of expansion, and a sense of perception of how huge everything is, yet how huge you are in that also.  Anger at the lower levels tends to manifest as a huge empty feeling of smallness. The lack overpowers any sense of the anger and the feeling of anger within the Self wants to overpower that huge feeling of smallness, and there is this constant disparity, this constant interplay, this constant struggle.  It can be very frustrating.

 Now have you any more questions ?

Question: I've always thought that anger is appropriate to say when someone crosses healthy boundaries.

Again, anger is a learned response to a perception of lack.  Now how does this relate to the crossing of boundaries and is anger appropriate in this instance?   Is this your question?  (Yes)

By setting boundaries you set up a confinement around yourself.  It is a place of safety.  It is a place that you can call yours.  If someone moves into that space you give a response.   You are perceiving that as anger.  If someone moves into your space it is because you have created a limitation around yourself.  Instead of expanding into the entirety of yourself, which is the entirety of the universe - for then you would see no lack, there would be no space between you - instead of doing that you have created this fence.  If everyone who interacted were to bring their entire selves to the interaction and all their bigness, there wouldn't be a bumping up of boundaries, but rather there would be an exchange.  There would be an overlap, but each person in the interaction feel their own bigness and be comfortable in that space and be comfortable with others in their wholeness as well.

The problem, then, is when you interact with others who sense more of their lack than their completeness.  So they are bringing their own frustrations at their perceptions to the exchange and what you are feeling, then, is that hole that stands between you and this causes fear and causes "Well, maybe I have that hole too and maybe I need to get smaller so that I don't feel that!"

Realizing that you always can feel that space, even if that space "belongs to someone else" is extremely empowering.  You have all the space you need.  It extends forever, in every direction.  

Now you're still asking how does this relate to anger?  Again, and we're speaking to you specifically, having a response to a feeling that someone has “crossed your fence” is a choice that you can make, and it keeps people from crossing your fence in the future.  You want to maintain that security, that safe place. And that's a choice.  It is frightening to think about not having those barriers, frightening to expand yourself into all that you are, because you can't see the edges of it.  There are no edges!  They don't exist - they go on forever.   But because you can't see them it becomes frightening.  Because you can't feel them you are unsure about it.   That uncertainty causes a feeling of imbalance. We spoke before of how a feeling of being imbalanced causes a responsive of anger. 

We realize it's a very different way of looking at things than you have been used to doing.  So give yourself time. 

We will conclude.
