The perception you've got of your surroundings, is only about projections of your own thoughts upon others. In other words: Only how you know yourself will you know others. What you think you despise about others, is only what you really despise about yourself, and that you project upon that person in order to get it at such a distance that you will be able to perceive it and get to know it, and after a time, learn to become fond of it. When you, with your hand on your heart, can proclaim for yourself that you love everyone and everything around you, only then you may say that you love all aspects about yourself, without lying to yourself. When you love all aspects about yourself by all your heart, only then you will have any presupposition to love another unconditionally lovingly attentive, or "irresponsibly fearless" as our backward dualistic culture inverts to term it; as fear equals total lack of unconditionally lovingly attention, and therefore is the worst karma-creating infringement one can stumble upon committing upon anything or anybody:

WORKBOOK FOR STUDENTS
LESSON 170
(…with 365 lessons—never read more than one lesson a day if you wish to succeed. You may successfully use longer time to digest some lessons than stressing through a new lesson every day in order to finish in time for some obscure date or occasion. After you've read both the Textbook and the Manual for Teachers. Never read more of this book than you can comprehend at the moment. Understanding comes through experiencing each and every new idea it contains and continuously gives you like on some psychic demand. It seems almost magic while you read its colourful rhymy, almost singing language. With slogans that obliterates all thoughts of revenge or malice against anyone in your surroundings. And helps you forgive yourself for blaming them in the first place. It is quite starteling some times, how it seemingly shapes your reality around you while you reflect upon the day's lesson in relation to whatever it is that you've just experienced. It in other words teaches you to learn to live in eternal bliss and thus shine for those who needs to see it. Preferably as some sort of role model; not an idol to worship. Whenever I experience too much of attention like that, I automatically subconsciously create a lot of stupid accidents. :o)There is no cruelty in God and none in me.
1. No one attacks without intent to hurt. 2This can have no exception. 3When you think that you attack in self-defence, you mean that to be cruel is protection; you are safe because of cruelty. 4You mean that you believe to hurt another brings you freedom. 5And you mean that to attack is to exchange the state in which you are for something better, safer, more secure from dangerous invasion and from fear.
2. How thoroughly insane is the idea that to defend from fear is to attack! 2For here is fear begot and fed with blood, to make it grow and swell and rage. 3And thus is fear protected, not escaped. 4Today we learn a lesson, which can save you more delay and needless misery than you can possibly imagine. 5It is this:
6You make what you defend against, and by your own defence against it is it real and inescapable. 7Lay down your arms, and only then do you perceive it false.
3. It seems to be the enemy without that you attack. 2Yet your defence sets up an enemy within; an alien thought at war with you, depriving you of peace, splitting your mind into two camps which seem wholly irreconcilable. 3For love now has an "enemy", an opposite; and fear, the alien, now needs your defence against the threat of what you really are.
4. If you consider carefully the means by which your fancied self-defence proceeds on its imagined way, you will perceive the premises on which the idea stands. 2First it is obvious ideas must leave their source, for it is you who make attack, and must have first conceived of it. 3Yet you attack outside yourself, and separate your mind from him who is to be attacked, with perfect faith the split you made is real.
5. Next, are the attributes of love bestowed upon its "enemy" 2For fear becomes your safety and protector of your peace, to which you turn for solace and escape from doubts about your strength, and hope of rest in dreamless quiet. 3And as love is shorn of what belongs to it and it alone; love is endowed with attributes of fear. 4For love would ask you lay down all defence as merely foolish. 5And your arms indeed would crumble into dust. 6For such they are.
6. With love as enemy, must cruelty become a god. 2And gods demand that those who worship them obey their dictates, and refuse to question them. 3Harsh punishment is meted out relentlessly to those who ask if the demands are sensible or even sane. 4It is their enemies who are unreasonable and insane, while they are always merciful and just.
7. Today we look upon this cruel god dispassionately. 2And we note that though his lips are smeared with blood, and fire seems to flame from him, he is but made of stone. 3He can do nothing. 4We need not defy his power. 5He has none. 6And those who see in him their safety have no guardian, no strength- to call upon in danger, and no mighty warrior to fight for them.
8. This moment can be terrible. 2But it can also be the time of your release from abject slavery. 3You make a choice, standing before this idol, seeing him exactly as he is. 4Will you restore to love what you have sought to wrest from it and lay before this mindless piece of stone? 50r will you make another idol to replace it? 6For the god of cruelty takes many forms. 7Another can be found.
9. Yet do not think that fear is the escape from fear. 2Let us remember what the text has stressed about the obstacles to peace. 3The final one, the hardest to believe is nothing, and a seeming obstacle with the appearance of a solid block, impenetrable, fearful and beyond surmounting, is the fear of God Himself. 4Here is the basic premise which enthrones the thought of fear as god. 5For fear is loved by those who worship it, and love appears to be invested now with cruelty.
10. Where does the totally insane belief in gods of vengeance come from? 2Love has not confused its attributes with those of fear. 3Yet must the worshippers of fear perceive their own confusion in fear's "enemy"; its cruelty as now a part of love. 4And what becomes more fearful than the Heart of Love Itself? 5The blood appears to be upon His Lips; the fire comes from Him. 6And He is terrible above all else, cruel beyond conception, striking down all who acknowledge Him to be their God.
11. The choice you make today is certain. 2For you look for the last time upon this bit of carven stone you made, and call it god no longer. 3You have reached this place before, but you have chosen that this cruel god remain with you in still another form. 4And so the fear of God returned with you. 5This time you leave it there 6And you return to a new world, unburdened by its weight; beheld not in its sightless eyes, but in the vision that your choice is restored to you.
12. Now do your eyes belong to Christ, and He looks through them. 2Now your voice belongs to God and echoes His. 3And now your heart remains at peace forever. 4You have chosen Him in place of idols, and your attributes, given by your Creator, are restored to you at last. 5The Call for God is heard and answered. 6Now has fear made way for love, as God Himself replaces cruelty.
13. Father, we are like You. 2No cruelty abides in us, for there is none in You. 3Your peace is ours. 4And we bless the world with what we have received from You alone. 5We choose again, and make our choice for all our brothers, knowing they are one with us. 6We bring them Your salvation as we have received it now: 7And we give thanks for them who render us complete. 8In them we see Your glory, and in them we find our peace. 9Holy are we because Your Holiness has set us free. 10And we give thanks. 11Amen.
Wise words of a role model and a teacher; a 9th-dimensional Christ named by his parents Yeshua ben Yussuff ("Jesus Josephson"). —Do join our Second Coming, please! —Ever heard about forgiveness??? A hot tip: If you allow yourself to laugh of your own mistakes, you suddenly allow yourself to forgive yourself for every single mistake you've ever made, and then you'll suddenly allow yourself to learn from them! And then you'll be able to give yourself the opportunity to forgive anyone for anything, and start co-operating with everyone to create world peace! Or maybe you believe that you need to spend yet another incarnation to grant yourself to mature into this kind of level of conscience??? —It's so easy—so easy—that only a child can do it! ;o))
"—The most precious
thing that you can give to another, is simply your presence."
Barbara Ann BRENNAN.
By knowing yourself you know others…
There is something odd about fear. It seems like people are afraid, just to be able to make excuses for themselves; since they don't grant themselves the energy they need in order to use their mind for sensible thinking.
When we perceive other people and incidents around us, we only do this in the capacity of our selves. It is only our own projections we perceive. We have no presupposition to perceive how other people perceive their surroundings; neither how they perceive us. They only perceive what they themselves choose to project upon us. This is really fairly complex and difficult when we think about it. But at the same time, so hilariously simple.
Visualize a projector. We usually call it a film projector. It projects a series of images up on a screen, so that we may be able to see them.
Imagine yourself to be such a screen, and that your lover projects those aspects of himself that he is in love with, upon this screen, that really is you, but that he has no presupposition to perceive, because he lets himself get blinded by his own illusions about who you are.
Then imagine that you do something that he doesn't like that you do. He permits himself to get "disappointed in you". You suddenly don't appear to be the person he has decided for you to be anymore. Suddenly you do something that to him is perceived to be negative or dangerous.
He then starts to project a totally different series of pictures upon you, than what he did previously. In his eyes, you have become a totally different individual. He now believes that he has "opened his eyes" to see "who you really are"; and will by this judgment hate you for the rest of his life.
Of course he has got no presupposition to hate you; it is only the aspects of himself that he projects upon you which he hates. But as long as he is unaware of this, he will continue to believe that it is "you" that he hates for it.
You are still the one you've always been: An equally valid human in development. He has just changed his very special and unique perception of you. But it isn't you he has changed perception about. It is his own projections upon you, that he has changed.
When we unconsciously perceive aspects of ourselves that we don't wish to admit that we possess consciously, we project them upon other people. The underlying cause to why we do this, still unconscious, is that our eternal soul shall force our mortal egos to relate to these aspects of ourselves.
Hopefully we are, through this process, learning to accept these aspects of ourselves. Thereafter learning to be fond of, and conclusively learn to love them.
This means, in other words, that when you love everything and everybody around you, only then you can truthfully admit that you love all aspects of yourselves. And only when you unconditionally lovingly attentive accept all aspects of yourselves; then you automatically care for everything and everyone around you equally unconditionally lovingly attentive.
Rather than confront and relate to aspects of ourselves that we have not managed to accept yet, we choose to project them upon others, and then to judge these people.—Because it is always much easier to search out some convenient scapegoat to blame; so that we don't have to go through the huge task of making up our mind about our own problems inside our own confused minds. Thus we push them "out of sight". In reality we don't. We just postpone them; because we don't feel mature enough to deal with them at the moment.
This is the way so called "racism" works. What "racism" really is about, too few understand in this world, or choose to think through to such an extent that they can manage to understand it; sorry to say.
Professor in zoology, Bjørn FØYN (1898-1986) at the University of Oslo. Just before World War II, wrote an extensive thesis in a research periodical about the Race Theories of the supportive scientists of Mr. Adolf Hitler; where he disassembled and demolished the whole theory as some kind of hilarious joke. As a genealogist, he perceived the mixing of races as something healthy and positive. The opposite of mixing of races, was in his eyes, inbreeding; when a sister and her brother have children together with each other.
Where in our world do we find the strongest, most resistant to any diseases, and most ordinarily claimed beautiful people? Yes, you guessed it — among children of parents who come from widely different races. And where do you find the most intelligent people? Among children of parents from the most conflicting cultures.
Because of this thesis, he of course was locked up in Grini concentration camp outside of Oslo, and Berg kretsfengsel in Vestfold; as an enemy of the state by the nazis, or in their own mind; 'national socialists'. I guess that being a 'universal socialist' feels a bit safer to me. Including all matter, plants and animals, of course: Love's not picky!
Racism and scapegoat mentality really is about trolls. Trolls and monsters is a way of pushing problems only seemingly "out of the way". Trolls is a description of aspects of ourselves that we don't dare to relate to. These we project upon anyone or anything around us, in order to give them the blame: Maybe we've been scowled at or physically punished when we were kids, for things we did, that wasn't accepted by our parents or our surroundings. Then we were "punished"; because this was unacceptable, and therefore also "wrong" —.
What we really learn from "punishment" is not to "grow up". We learn to bury the aspects of ourselves that we from our surroundings learn that we should be "ashamed" of. If these aspects of ourselves are so important to our soul, that we must relate to them to have any presupposition to develop further into the School of Life as Incarnate, they become trolls in our subconscious mind. In shop talk this is termed "blockings of energy".
In the beginning of our lives, we consciously create these blockings. But after a time, these blockings snowball themselves upon each other, every time we confront the urge to act out the things we were punished for when we were kids.
If we have got such a surplus that we after a time manage to wake up to such an extent that we discover what our trolls really is about, and therefore investigate and challenge these blockings to such an extent that we dissolve them — that we in other words bring our trolls out in the daylight, so that they burst — yeah, then we immediately get access to the treasures that they were hiding. Or the part of our abilities to build our complete confidence, that we used these blockings to hide.
It is a fact that such monsters never block for any negative abilities or qualities. Just the perceptions of them, that we destroyed while being punished for committing them. Also called "aversion therapy"; this by using fear as a tool for upbringing. A rather primitive and foolish way of bringing up children. Maybe our surroundings didn't feel it proper for little children to do "such things"; especially if it contained something sexual.
If you feel that you've got blockings; or said in another way: feel that your emotional life contain things that you are terribly afraid of, and that you think other people possess, either in the form of abilities or dispositions, you can feel safe that it is yourself that you really fear. Not them.
It is completely illogical to be afraid of other human beings. If you walk around and are afraid of other human beings, you'll have to take a trip inside yourself to find the cause. Because you'll never find it outside yourself.
What happens when you are afraid of other people, is a long process that I will try to explain by telling you from episodes in my life, that has been part of a process of opening my eyes about fear, and what it is really all about.
If you don't feel that you have the energy to read everything that follows after this paragraph, this only suggests that you are not mature enough to handle this knowledge yet. Therefore you may calmly read on. If this knowledge will prevent your development further on, it will just not interest you, and you will automatically drop out of the text, and not manage to concentrate. So don't permit yourself to be afraid to gain knowledge that do not concern you, or will endanger your development further on in your life!
The Lady with the dog at Kolsåsbanen
The summer of 1994, I had an experience at Kolsåsbanen (the line of the Oslo Underground that goes south-west, out of the city), that I after analyzing it, really opened my eyes in relation to anxiety, apprehension, worry, and fear.
It was summer, and rather hot outside. Late in the afternoon. At Ringstabekk station towards Oslo city, a lady entered the single AB-car I was driving, with a dog that didn't wear a dog chain. The lady sat down in a corner and seemingly very nervously staring down at her restless hands. The dog toddled through the car, wagging its tail from the one to the other, licking and seeking caresses from everyone.
Before I arrived at the next station, an elderly man came forward to me, and presented himself as "allergic to furred animals". He asked me to handle the issue. So, after opening the doors at Tjernsrud station, I went back to the lady, and politely asked her if she could be so kind to put a leash on her dog.
"—It is prohibited to let dogs run lose on public transport, you see".
No! That she could not do. It was her dog; so that was none of my business!
"—But you see, it has got nothing to do with me, it is because we also have got passengers that are allergic to furred animals; and they are also dependent of traveling with us, without the risk of getting ill".
No! She wouldn't listen on that ear. So, after a tirade of politeness and sharp dismissal, while her co-passengers started to having trouble keeping their faces serious, I didn't see that I could do other than saying:
"—Unfortunately, now I have run up of time to discuss this with you. I have got a time table to relate to; you see, and since I also have got a complaint from one of the other passengers, even my employer's regulations of conveyance. Therefore I will have to give you an ultimatum: Either you put a leash on your dog now, or I will have to ask you to leave this car."
Then, suddenly I became authoritative; if I was ever so polite and thoughtful in my tone and appearance.
The lady reacted with fear. Suddenly it seemed that the whole reality surrounding me became somewhat darker. I saw white, cobweb-thin rays that shot out from the diaphragm of the lady (Solar Plexus). They hit me all over my body. None of the rays escaped me.
Wherever the rays hit me, it felt like small needles, just like the feeling when I've slept on my arm, and the blood vessels are expanding again, when the blood forces them to open up faster than comfort.
I became totally paralyzed. It felt like a knot in my abdomen, and in my throat. My hairs went standing on my neck, and my body went quite stiff, like a log, and without knowing how or why, I shouted at the lady, and scowled at her like a fury; I don't have the slightest clue to remember what I said; louder and louder, until the lady left the car, sobbing, and all the other passengers looked at me, like I was som monster or the Big Bad Wolf, and I stood left behind, dizzy, totally confused, afraid, and shaking from shock; not having the faintest clue to what had just happened.
The old Lady at Karl Johan
Another episode, that happened the summer 1995 at Karl Johan street (the main street in the city of Oslo). A warm summer's day. The sun was shining and everyone was joyful and happy. A youth gang, full of horny youths, who ran around and tugged each other in the plaits, yelling and crying and having a ball.
One single old lady with a cane, who came stumping along down the paved zone. Apparently both blind and deaf to her surroundings. When she was in line with the gang, the same thing happened once again. A girl, suddenly squealed, the little old lady slowly turned her attention from her shoe tips, and upward, toward the source of the sound. And when she was watching the happy gang of youth, she didn't perceive them as a happy gang of youth at all, like I did.
— She had been faithfully reading the newspapers and watched the news on the telly. She had kept under close observation the advertisements for the insurance companies on the commercial TV-channels. She had let herself get brainwashed by a machinery of fear-propaganda that lacks comparison all through our human history.
Therefore, she saw a "scary horde of young rowdies", and chose to become terrified of her own imaginings of them.
Reality became again somewhat darker, I saw white "invisible" rays flashing out from the diaphragm of the little old lady. They hit the closest of the kids, and it was like watching in slow motion, how the facial expressions of the kids changed. From happy and joyful, via open incredulity, and at last undisguised aggression. They fled onto the little old lady, like ants, hit and kicked her wildly. The little old lady oozed down on the pavement. The youths continued to kick and hit her. Until a moment: Suddenly the white rays ceased from the diaphragm of the little old lady.—She fainted, I guess.
Then I saw, just like in slow motion on a film again, how their facial expressions changed, from wild and aggressive, through flabbergasted disbelief, and at last complete disoriented bewilderment:
They seemingly had no idea what-so-ever what they had just done; far less how or why. Suddenly one of the boys seemed to get a bright idea; probably to "explain" to himself why he had done what he had done, and seized the little old lady's handbag, and picked up his heels, with the rest of the gang after him. He seemed to perceive her to be an evil witch or something, that had it coming to her.
Fear
I have also experienced to be knocked down up to several occasions in the past. But I have also got the ability to analyze my own conduct and reaction. At all occasions I was terrified. I felt pain in my diaphragm of fear. The apprehension got my body to shake violently. I also remember how the attackers' facial expressions were; how they had a distorted, stiff expression, that I now in the aftertime don't have any problems interpreting as self-defense through pain and panic. At the time, I believed that it was the "attackers" that had gone mad, or that they really were evil sadists.
But now I understand that no human being or animal is evil in their own eyes. And therefore I don't need making them dangerous, either, by being afraid of them (not permitting myself to feel total lack of unconditional love towards them).
So, today, when I leap up due to some reason, be it a loud dog in a gateway, a gang of "sinister-looking" people on the Underground, or a being following me in a park in the night. Then I force myself to calm down, and tell myself: "No! I don't want to be afraid. I know how dangerous that is!"
And then I picture myself wearing large angel's wings, I concentrate in sending out good feelings, thoughtful considerations, and unconditionally loving attention ("channeling the love of God") in all directions; and especially directed towards the cause of me jumping in the first place.
And immediately they seem to melt, they become nice and companionable. The dogs start waging their tails, even if they continue to bark, until I give them my hand to cuddle-chew, to give them my trust and confidence, and then they feel safe enough to cease barking.
It all is about me trying to give myself a kind of upbringing that my parents didn't have any presuppositions to give me. I have also heard that I have got such a confident look. Especially from small children and old ladies. I feel pretty safe at the moment. It seems like nothing can scare me anymore.
Protection against unconscious provocation
A day in November 1995, I met a woman, a colleague at the barracks on Majorstuen station. She worked only during the weekends, while I worked what was termed "holyday-free-available". And I had never set my eyes upon her before, even if she had worked at the company longer than I.
We had a conversation, and she explained to me how to protect oneself against "energy-attacks"; that is how she termed it. When people send fear-energy against you, for some reason.
She showed me the movements; how to hold our hand up in front of the top of our head (Crown-chakra), with the palm continuously facing out against the one we are protecting ourselves against.
Then we tilt our head sideways with our ears down from shoulder to shoulder, roll our stomach-muscles, while we simultaneously, in an even speed, conduct our hand (still with the palm faced outward) down in front of our body, until it is at the level of our diaphragm where the Solar Plexus-; or the chakra that we wish to protect, resides.
Then we shove our hand forward towards the attacker, while we turn our body around and leave.
If we lack the opportunity to really do all these motions (afraid of making a fool of yourself, maybe?), it still helps to concentrate and to imagine, or visualize doing them; as accurate as possible.
I got the opportunity to try this out, at a time I politely and at least tentatively friendly asked a grumpy-looking man of around 50 years of age, if he could please be so kind to wipe the seat after him when he left the car. He was sitting with the muddy boots on the seat in front of him. Usually people get a very benevolent attitude when I approach them like this; instead of scowling at them, like my colleagues chose to teach each-other to do.
But this man didn't react like that at all. He reacted with fear. I saw the same scenario once again, and felt the thrust of fear in my abdomen. But this time I tried the movements that I had learned the previous month; and they helped me. I kept my confidence and feelings of safety, was still calm and balanced. I didn't become aggressive at all!
I was suddenly very grateful and proud of myself: Now I had finally learned to take care of myself in a thorough way. The other passengers probably thought I was somewhat stupid-looking, but that was far better than if I should have attacked the man.
—It is just a pity that not any of our kids learn the same at school! Then we would have gotten far less judicial murders due to our cultural backward scape-goat mentality which wouldn't be able to be so alive in people's minds, and we would have had far fewer growing up becoming criminal jail-birds.
If you manage to imagine all other people as picture-screens. We all walk around and perceive our own version of the reality surrounding us. None of us perceive everything equally. Every one of us perceive everything differently. Try to understand how this works in practice. How improbable it must seem to an outsider.
There have been many speculations to why some people gets "abducted" and "experimented with" by extra terrestrial beings. — Personally I don't think it is the slightest strange. I know very well why they do it. I also understand them perfectly. They have, you see, no presupposition to understand us. Why we choose to live in such an "upside-down" society. They do not understand why we permit ourselves to feel fear. This makes them very curious on those of us who permits us to let us be governed by such emotions.
— And notice that it is only people who permits themselves to be scared and in panic that gets "abducted". Never anyone who "wants it" and are "curious" and are not afraid. So simple is the explanation. Isn't it strange, and oddly backwards?
Remember that no human beings or animals are dangerous, before you permit yourself to be afraid of them. But then they will became lethal. And remember that it is only your own projections that you really are afraid of. Not them. Remember that the fear-energy you send against these unsuspecting individuals that you first choose to project your monsters upon, will release an aggression, and a violent conduct, without counterpart in your surroundings. Remember that it is your "blind fear" that releases the seemingly "blind violence" that you experience are directed towards yourself. If you experience that you are exposed to physical or psychical attacks by your surroundings, you'll have to watch more closely your own emotional life. You must learn to be proud and fond of yourself, only then you will have any presupposition to feel safe about others!
Do you experience to meet people that you don't trust? Remember that it is only the aspects of yourself that you project upon that person, that you don't feel safe about. Trust towards others, comes — as most other things — from inside yourself.
It is most common that we human beings let ourselves get seduced by our past; what has already happened, to project this scenario upon the present, so that we choose to perceive it to be what will happen right now. And when we believe that, we have no presupposition to perceive what really happens at the moment. Because we project our own past upon our present, and only perceive what we project. If you judge people after how you have conducted yourself towards them in the past; have you been afraid of them; have you distrusted them; have you in any way felt anything negative about them; then you are judging yourself from knowing them today, and from receiving the gifts they bring you now. Because they are also in development, and they change all the time, no matter what you choose to believe or not believe.
Only in the fashion that you know yourself, you will ever know others…
The cure prescribed by most Norwegian common doctors: The Anxiety ring
Other links concerning fear disorders
Your perception of your surroundings, is only a projection of your own aspects of yourself upon your surroundings.
In other words: Only by really knowing yourself you can truly know others. What you think you love in others, is only aspects of yourself that you are in love with, and are projecting upon them. What you think you despise in others, is only aspects of yourself which you despise, and are projecting upon them. What you believe that you fear in others, is only aspects of yourself that you fear, and are projecting upon them.
And all this you project upon the person in question; just to be able to put it in such a distance from yourself that you can be able to get a look at it, and get to know it; and after a while, learn how to love it.
When you — with your hand on your heart — can say to yourself that you unconditionally love everything and every aspect about everyone around you; only then you can say that you really love all aspects of yourself without lying to yourself. When you love all aspects of yourself with all of your heart, only then you have the slightest presupposition to love another without reservation. Only then you can make yourself really happy. And this takes time to learn.
Life is a huge school for God to learn about itself through us all. We are all It's children, and because of this, we are all immensely important to God. If you think that you are more worthy of the love of God than the one you choose to call a murderer or a villain, you have misunderstood what all-encompassing love is all about. The one you call a murderer and a villain is only acting out your own projections, your fears and your problems concerning loving yourself.
The kingdom of God is your mind and your body. Use it well, to learn about love in all aspects of the word. When you believe that you despise another. You despise yourself. Don't! You are a child of God, created in His image; and as such you are a God; as are everyone and everything else. You just believe that you are not.
Remember: All your beliefs are only your obstacles on the way towards unconditional love. Stop believing. Start knowing. Start feeling. Start loving. This is your challenge! Go ahead do it…
Beggars for love and beggars for suffering
There are lots of beggars down in the center of Oslo city, stumbling around in rags, filthy and smelling urine and puke. I've been friends with a lot of them for many years. They know me by sight.
They all walk around begging for coins. Most people they meet feel pity, and give them something, and I don't understand why. Are they stupid? Don't they know what these beggars really want or really are on the lookout for? The bottom line of money, is that money equals energy. It all depends upon how you use it. And what you want it for.
These beggars that you see all around the year, in the snow and in the rain, in the sun and in the wind, walking around places like Stortinget, Egertorvet, Grensen, Karl Johan, Jernbanetorvet, Grønland, and all the other names of places in the city of Oslo, what do you think they get from it all?
Measured in number of Norwegian kroner, they get approximately 2,000.- per day. That makes around 60,000.- a month, or 720,000.- a year. You get around 8 kroner for one US dollar and 10 kroner for one English pound. This makes approx. US$ 7,500.- or GB£ 6,000.- a month or US$ 90,000.- or GB£ 72,000.- a year. They get almost equal to the wages of the prime minister of Norway, and the head bosses of most private corporations, since these people all have to pay huge taxes, that these beggars avoid.
But what do they do with all that money? They waste it. They use it up all at once. And what do they buy? Mostly heroine, hashish, amphetamine, crack, ecstasy, various forms of alcohol and cigarettes. And they starve. Can you imagine? Doing that to themselves? Continuously?
What they really are on the lookout for, is refusal. And for each refusal they get, they sink a bit lower into their own self-pity. This makes them suffer. This makes them depressed. And when you spend all your energy pressing yourself so far down, that you have no energy left to do something about it; then you're what we term "depressed". Then you know with all your heart, that "nobody loves you". Then you know that you are all alone in the world, and that nobody wants you around. That nobody cares if you live or die.
This feeling is what they seek. The feeling of suffering. They do not have enough of this feeling. It doesn't bore them yet. They are young souls, with few incarnations behind them. And no-one can help them out of their "misery", until they get enough of this feeling. Until this feeling bore them. When it does, they will do something about their situation. Then they will start asking for help. And believe me; they know how to get it!
What most of the "socionauts" of this well-fare society (you know: those social workers; or social workers, as we call them in Norwegian, who believe that they know just about everything worth knowing. Because before, in the old days, there weren't anything between Heaven and Earth, but now the socionauts are there!) believe, is that they can "help" "these unfortunate people" out of "their misery". And they use up all their energy to "help" people who isn't on the level of understanding them. People who doesn't understand that "this" is help. People who sabotage all the "help" they get. Because this "help" only prevents them from getting what they really want: To suffer. To merge themselves with this feeling. To indulge themselves with the joy of suffering. To be able to say to the world: "—Hey! I'm here! I suffer! Look at my pity! Look at my misery! Isn't it awful! Ain't I tough, who can endure such pain! Don't you just envy me?"
And when the socionauts meet these people, what do they feel? A professional feeling of concern and pity. And they wear themselves out by "helping" people they have as much chance trying to "help", as a snowball in burning hell. And what do they do? They give these "poor souls" energy in the form of money! Of all things, they give them money! They give money to people who only despise money and all it represents. People who have no chance knowing what they get. Because you can never give another person what she or he is immature to wish for her- or himself. When someone wish for something, then, and only then you can give it to them. When they do not want it, you cannot give it to them, even if you force it upon them. It is like trying to reason with a brick wall. It does not respond.
At last, when the sufferer has suffered enough, so that she or he is full of this feeling, then she or he will start asking for help. Then you can help this person. Not before. Then you can give your love to this person. If you try to do it before this person have been full of the feeling of suffering, you are throwing pearls before swine. Then you'll get nothing back. And you'll only end up hurting yourself. And this can be quite dangerous, if you're not a quick learner.
When the person comes asking for help, you must help her or him. But first you must teach yourself to distinguish between a person asking for help and a person asking for suffering. You must give them chances to prove themselves to you. Because people who are on the lookout for sufferings, do all they can to hurt themselves. Even hurting you. And when they manage to hurt you thoroughly, by letting you down, then they hurt themselves even more. Then they succeed in suffering. Then they succeed in disappointing themselves. Then they prove to themselves how unworthy they are of your love. And they will continue doing so, until they are full of this feeling. But since it is difficult to distinguish between honest asking for help and honest asking for suffering, you must not let them put you down. You must let them put themselves down. You must be proud, and treat them like small children; for that is what they are inside. They are on the verge of opening up their Heart chakra, and for this, they need all the suffering they can acquire.
You must grant them the feeling of suffering. Until they've had enough. You can not decide for them, when they've had enough. Only they themselves can do that. You can only love them with all your heart. When you do, you must train yourself in feeling compassion instead of pity. Because pity is a dangerous emotion when you are tired of suffering. Compassion is not an emotion you feel through your Solar Plexus chakra. Compassion is a feeling you feel through your Heart chakra. Pity is an emotion you feel through your Solar Plexus chakra. It will only blind you and allow for you to get manipulated by their goals, and make you suffer with the ones you try to help. You must discriminate between these, when you relate to sufferers:
When some people seem to enjoy suffering, and indulging themselves with this feeling, so much so, that they seem to have lost all visions of joy in life. That they seem to have lost all ambitions to create joy in their life. It is vitally important to grant them this reality. Because if you force them to be "happy" (in your perception of the word), the only thing you'll accomplish from your effort is that they'll end up being totally apathetic and if no other solution is at hand; to kill themselves and start incarnating another body instead; out of your dictating reach.
This also applies to children who for some – to us strange – reason need the feelings produced through sex abuse and violent parents.
We are all souls, traveling in a sea of lives. we incarnate bodies in order to collect feelings. If we are denied one specific kind of feelings in this life time, we simply have to re-incarnate, to complete our collection of it. And we will not give up until we've succeeded.
The sufferers are the greatest teachers of all. Honor them! — And you will honor yourself…
FACEBOOK VIRUS WARNING: For those of you who have not heard, there's a contagious virus being spread on Facebook, Twitter, though emails, and even conversations on the telephone or in person. The virus has been viral on planet earth for thousands of years. It's called fear, and if it is sent to you as an attachment, the best thing you can do is to remain unattached and do not open up to it. Best not to agree, disagree, or resist it in any way. Send love and compassion to the people, software, and systems infected. And if you are already infected, please stop spreading it to others, no matter how valid your intentions are. Spread the antidotes instead: Love, Light, Levity, Forgiveness and Safety. Fear can only thrive and spread in darkness. It cannot continue to exist when it is exposed to the light. So, lighten up, let in the light, and let fear be gone! FEAR is just an abbreviation meaning "False Evidence Appearing Real".
To me, FEAR is just an abbreviation,
meaning: "False Evidence Appearing Real"!

Knowledge with Steven Greer:
This is a chain-letter that I received in 2006, the 14th of September, promoting fear energy attacks, that may end in death for the receiver. Or the best luck in the world. Standard rouse by the devil; if one should believe what it says in the bible. If the receiver believes death for him- or herself possible, and within the time-limit that this through-and-through evil and death-producing letter stakes out, death is imminent and unavoidable. Please make sure you understand my text above, before you continue to read further on down on this page! This is a personal advice; and never any command that you need to feel obligated to respect, in order to save your then maybe fragile luck from now on. Depending on your present beliefs, of course! The ramifications to this letter, concerns real people, and it's not nice! Whenever one person dies—and especially if that someone were young—at least a hundred people are suddenly left behind with; dealing with the sorrow and the grief. This makes us all equally responsible to explain, whenever we see someone that obviously has got problems finding his or her way through this otherwise seemingly eternal maze of ours. I read the following letter as a part of the confusion and fear that the US American people has to endure today in their society, through a strangely one-sided fear-promoting news and media. I bless them all, and hope they will wake up from their fearful dreams, and vote for someone who can use their power for the good of all; including nature, rather than only producing a scary obligatory Christian Judgement Day! Because of money? What is this 'total lack of moral', all of a sudden? Solfrid I
