THE TOBIAS MATERIALS

The Clarity Series:
SHOUD 5: "Shadow Self and Potentials" - Featuring Tobias, channeled by Geoffrey Hoppe

December 17, 2005


TOBIAS: And so it is, dear Shaumbra, we gather once again. How we love this time when all of the energies gather for the Shoud, where you literally open up your heart, where you join together with Shaumbra all across the world. You take this few precious moments of time when the music is being played to just open up and to allow us to come in to be with you. Such a precious, precious time! Perhaps, you can feel the energies move in – the energies of our guests today, of all of those who observe in the Second and even the Third Circle – where you take off the limitations and restrictions of yourself for a moment, when you let go of the everyday concerns, the trials and tribulations of being a human, even at this time, this precious golden time when you invite in all of aspects of yourself from past lives, from potentials that have yet to be expressed.

Take a moment to just breathe in this fine, beautiful energy. Oh, yes, you are feeding on it. Feel how it feeds you. Feel how it can help to make sense of things that you have been struggling with for a while. Feel how the energies that you breathe in here of I, Tobias, of the guests today, of those in the angelic realms come in to love and support you, to encourage you, to remind you, indeed as we said last month, that you have permission to be yourself. What a beautiful gift you can give yourself this Christmas – permission to be yourself!

One of the things that is most difficult on your energy that causes what you would say would be a type of friction or resistance is when you are not being who you are, when you are holding back, when you know and feel better, different, but yet you’re not allowing yourself to be that person, held back for a variety of reasons. As we discussed last month you have belief systems that don’t let you see a grander more broad horizon, limitations that you placed on yourself, partly from fear, partly because of your commitment to others, to other people, to this lifetime.

Shaumbra, now is a wonderful time to take a deep breath and give yourself that gift of being who you are. You worry sometimes that the world will think that you’re a bit crazy. But they already do (some laughter). Be an example to them. Be an example to all of the other humans who truly do want to wake up.

Sometimes we have to chuckle from our side of the veil. We see this lifetime of Shaumbra on Earth right now as somewhat almost like an odd and humorous science fiction. Here you are, waking up from the dead, waking up from a sleep, from belief systems that you have created for yourself for a very specific reason. But now you are waking up. You are groggy while you try to wake up because you still feel the effects of the heaviness of duality, of mass consciousness, of your responsibilities. You’re still feeling that you could go easily, fall back to sleep, feeling perhaps that in this new and awakened state, perhaps it is not what you want, it’s not what you thought it would be. So, you are in that in-between, that grogginess, that haziness. But you are waking up.

And here we have so many other humans in their deep sleep or their deep hypnosis, like a science fiction movie “The Land of the Living Dead.” And we don't mean to – how to say – be condescending, but we see it this way sometimes. And they are waiting for an example. They are waiting for someone like you to be who you are and not be afraid of being who you are so that they then can feel more comfortable in coming out of their sleep. Their sleep are belief systems, are hypnotic overlays.

That is all life on Earth is – hypnotic overlays, you see. Oh, you know it intellectually and perhaps haven’t felt it in your heart. But in a sense, you could say you’re really not here. You’re really not in this human body. You’re really not in this lifetime. You’re really not sitting here in these chairs.

In a sense, they are all hypnotic overlays, very strong, very, very powerful belief systems that you’ve let yourself go into. Don’t be mad at the belief systems or the hypnosis. You induced it on yourself. And then you melded it with the belief systems of other humans to create this mass consciousness overlay. And here you are.

You could say, in a sense, it is like a science fiction because while you feel you are here, in a way you’re really not. It is but one aspect and one potential. We’re not saying it is unreal. It is only a reality, a reality that you are living in.

If there is anything that I, Tobias, and the rest of us can do, it is to help you understand in these next two years of time how it is but one potential. And so many other potentials can be unlocked and expressed. It is quite simple. It is understanding that you have the divine right to be who you are.

Now, it is going to require some exploring. Who are you? Indeed, what are you? What makes you who you are? We are going to explore those things, much as you’ve already been doing. We’re going to take a look at what's feeding the reality base that you're in right now, why that feeding is so strong it convinces you, it makes you believe it is the only reality. We’re going to show you how to walk through this.

Indeed, in these next few channels Adamus is going to play such an important part of working with I, Tobias, and the others. Indeed, Adamus is here today – Adamus, Saint Germain, a grand being who has walked in humanness until quite recently, who can still go in and out of reality. He understands that a reality is but one potential. And he understands that multiple realities can be expressed simultaneously.

You see, there is a belief that you can only express one reality at a time; you can only choose one experience at a time. Some of you are already discovering – the rest of you will discover – you can express multiple probabilities, alternatives, whatever you want to call them simultaneously, to move in and out of those you feel are almost appropriate. It begins with giving yourself permission to be who you are. And it continues by recognizing what feeds that reality, as we discussed in our Shoud last month.

So, the energy of Adamus is with us today. It is with every one of you listening in. You see, he doesn't have to be just here on top of this mountain. He can be sitting with you and your small group as you look out the window and see the ocean. He can be with you, that one individual that's sitting in your apartment in a city, high atop the noise of the street, listening to the Shoud right now. Yes, he's with you, as am I. We have all melded our energy together here in this spot.

Now, our other guest today is a guest that is – how to say – very seasonal, very appropriate for this season. It is an energy that you have come to know and to love, that has been part of your journey ever since you were a child; an energy that reminds you of the importance of the Christmas season, reminds you of the importance of love in your life, of sharing in your life; reminds you of the importance of returning to your childlike origins and being playful. So, indeed let us welcome in the energy of Santa Claus into this room (some laughter).

Now, while some of you may laugh at this, there is much more to it. By inviting Santa Claus into the room today – and I almost have a hard time saying it without laughing – it helps you to understand the importance of the imagination, the importance of other realities and probabilities. It helps you to understand that, Shaumbra, as you think it is, you believe it. As you accept it, it becomes so.

Now, let us talk about Santa for a moment, Santa representing the spirit of Christmas for so many who have grown up in the Christian culture. Santa was basically invented over 100 years ago. And the energy of Santa has been built upon ever since. Most of you have had that magical experience with Santa when you were very, very young. Yes, Santa helps all of you to remember the magic of this season and the magical potential of life.

So, what is Santa Claus? Was it made up by some poet, later to be embellished by some advertising executive trying to push their sugar water? What is Santa? Well, Santa is real. Perhaps, he doesn't have a physical form that you can touch, although we have known children who actually have, you see, young ones who are open to potentials. Santa doesn't necessarily have a house at the North Pole. He doesn't necessarily have all of these elves working for him.

But yet, Santa is as real of an entity as Shaumbra, as real of an entity as Yeshua, for instance. Because humans have brought it into their consciousness, it has been – how to say – fed into their consciousness and then fed out or projected out of their consciousness to other humans. And pretty soon what was just once an idea, an imagination, a fairytale, now becomes a reality.

You could say that Santa Claus actually exists on our side of the veil, literally. It is not a souled being. It’s not like you. It is a composite energy. It is a collective energy. So, there is a Santa Claus on our side of the veil. Yes, Virginia, there is (some laughter).

This Santa Claus has an energy then on Earth that is identifiable and quite real. Over the years – how to say – you've come to accept it. The analytical part of your mind says, “But it is just a story. It is for children. It is not necessarily real.” But yet every year we see it happening.

This energy of Christmas – and represented through Santa Claus – does allow miracles to happen. It does allow young children who have – how to say – were in families that do not have the abundance. Suddenly the gifts do appear. Oh, perhaps you could say it comes from a charitable organization or humans who are just trying to do the right thing. But it comes through this energy of Santa Claus. So, it is real.

You see, we go back and forth; humans go back and forth all of the time about imagination versus reality, and there is no difference. Absolutely no difference. The dualistic human thinks that you have to be able to touch it, or you have to be able to see it, or at least to be able to analyze it, in order for it to be real. And that is not so at all. That is an illusion in itself. That is also perhaps one of the biggest lies about living as a human being – that there is only one reality, and you have to be able to touch it, feel it or analyze it for it to be real. That is a great myth.

Imagine ages from now, perhaps not so many years, but some time into the future when the generations of humans look back onto this time of 2005 and have to chuckle and say, “Yes, back then they only believed in one reality. They only believed in one possibility. They only believed that if it was material, then it was real. But if it was not made of matter, or able to be analyzed using dualistic measurement tools, then it wasn’t real.” Imagine the future generations chuckling about that, thinking how prehistoric, how outdated.

Shaumbra, you’re literally truly leading the way to break through those barriers, that barrier that separates the mental or human reality from the imagination. The imagination represents multiple realities, multiple probabilities. So, we felt it was very important to bring in the energy of Santa Claus. And some of you may think it is childish, that it is not real.

We’re going to ask you to feel it for a moment. Feel this energy of Santa Claus. Yes, it was created by humans; indeed, it was. But now it is a real entity who has a presence or an identity both on our side of the veil and yours. Take a moment to breathe in Santa Claus. Let that child in you come back again. Feel the essence of what Santa Claus represents for Christmas, for humanity.

Remember what it meant to you as a child. For some of you it meant magic. For some of you it meant possibilities. Some of you attached to it so dearly because you knew that it represented something that was beyond Earth, behind the physical. It represented a grand potential.

For some of you it represented a struggle and a conflict because even as you were a child, your friends believed in Santa Claus. Your friends waited excitedly on Christmas morning to see what was under the tree. Your parents perhaps denied you of that blessing of the imagination, told you that Santa wasn’t real, told you that it was made-up, it was a fairytale, that you had to focus on reality and only those things that you could define with your physical measurement tools. Some of you were denied that blessing of believing in something bigger and grander. And you learned today something that is quite real, very, very real.

When there is enough energy behind a concept and imagination, whether it comes from one person or a group, it therefore becomes a reality in its own right. It doesn't have to exist in the physical planes. It can co-exist in the physical planes.

Shaumbra, for instance, was created out of your hearts. It is now an entity, much like Santa Claus is. Shaumbra is real on our side of the veil. It has a definable, identifiable nature; therefore, it becomes real on your side as well, if you allow it and accept it. Shaumbra carries an energy just like Santa Claus carries an energy. The imagination, allowing yourself to be who you are, creates things, creates them on probability dimensions and planes that are – oh, it would be difficult for your mind to even fathom right now.

Take the energy of Yeshua, Jesus. As we have said before, Yeshua is not a souled being. Yeshua is a composite. It is a collective energy of a large group of angels, including you, that helped to bring it into manifestation. The energy was so strong, filled with so much compassion and love that you were literally able to manifest “Christedness,” the Christ seed, the Christ consciousness and allow it to come into a physical body, a collective energy from all of you – and many others, of course – coming in at the appropriate time to Earth. Yeshua, in a sense, you could say, is not real at all, not real in the terms that you would normally think. It doesn't have an actual soul identity. But yet Yeshua has come to mean so much.

Oh, then there is Jesus. You see, at one point Yeshua and Jesus were the same energy. But now they are not at all. There is an entity on our side of the veil called Jesus, quite different from the energy of Yeshua. Jesus is perhaps the more contemporary version, but a version built from – how to say – the belief systems of the Christian churches right now. Jesus has manifested on our side of the veil, therefore can be felt on your side as well.

This energy of Jesus is quite different from Yeshua. But it is the ones that – how to say – have put their energy together, wanted to be saved, wanted some type of judgment, wanted a – how to say – a figurehead or a leader, so they created this energy of Jesus. It wasn't there before. It didn't actually directly come out of Yeahua’s energy.

Yeshua – how to say – we’re getting a little off course here. But Yeshua comes from the Order of Sananda, the House of Sananda, the angelic family of Sananda. Yeshua was manifested through that portal or that corridor. Jesus is quite different. Jesus is the manifestation of the current consciousness of the Christian Church.

So, there is a Jesus up here, and there is a Yeshua up here. We don't often get confused. We see the difference between the two. The energy of Jesus carries this burden. He continues to walk around with a cross. That’s why we don’t get confused (audience laughter). Yeshua carries no cross because there is no need for suffering. There is no need to pay for human sin because essentially there is no human sin. However, there was a group of humans who created a belief system, therefore an entity called Jesus, who literally on our side and yours either is carrying that cross around or is hanging from it.

So, Shaumbra, you see the effect of imagination, of playfulness, of belief systems and consciousness that go into creating reality. It is a tremendous dynamic. It is a dynamic that helped to create the energy of Santa Claus. It helped to create the energy of Shaumbra, an energy that is helping to create your reality right now as we sit here, right now.

Now, we’re going to get into a few of the physics of this today. But we want to add another note here.

Last month we talked about permission to be yourself. It should be one of the bases of Shaumbra energy. Sometimes we are asked, “What is the creed of Shaumbra? What is the energy of Shaumbra?” Oh, there is nothing specifically in writing. But one of those things that should be passed onto the others who say, “What is it about Shaumbra,” is that you give yourself permission to be everything who you are.

Now, that’s a bit frightening for some people, a bit frightening to think of themselves as opening up and really being who they are. Mention it to somebody sometime and watch how they close down when you tell them that they have permission to open up. They – like you have been, or perhaps still are a little bit – are afraid of opening up, afraid that they are going to do something stupid, afraid of doing something that would embarrass them or others, afraid of doing something that would be wrong, something that would be cruel.

It is because they are still in a dualistic frame of mind. They still believe in a right or a wrong. They still have that fear of taking the wrong turn when indeed there is no wrong turn. There is just a variety of experiences. They are still afraid that an energy would – how to say – somehow come in and take them over in darkness.

But Shaumbra, you’ve moved beyond that. You understand that you can be who you are – the grandest expression of your spirit. You don’t need to worry about the right and wrong. You don’t need to worry about the imbalance that could take place because you now flow. You now experience in a new level. When you let yourself be who you are, your experiences are no longer based in dualistic terms; therefore, there is no right or no wrong. You couldn’t do a wrong in New Energy mode if you tried. There is not a wrong and not a right. There simply is. There is not an imbalance in the New Energy mode because everything carries its own intrinsic balance within it.

The Old Energy, dualistic energy, has the ability to be imbalanced. We've spoken of it before. That balance of light to dark, or positive to minus, shifts back and forth. In the New Energy when you transcend the old and you go into the New Energy, it is intrinsically balanced at all times.

By the way, that doesn't mean boring. It doesn't mean flat. Oh, the expression is grander than you could possibly imagine. It simply means it balances itself all of the time. There are no conflicting energies of light or dark.

So, don't be afraid. Let yourself be who you are. You’re going to be surprised at how much you’ve been holding back, surprised at how old fears and old belief systems held you back.

The other point we want to add to that – perhaps this should go in the Shaumbra creed as well – not only give yourself permission to be who you are, but also enjoy life. Absolutely enjoy life. There’s an old overlay on Earth – it is still there, it is still strong, you see it in some of your more radical religions and political systems – that life is not to be enjoyed. Life is to be barely tolerated. Life is to be survived but not lived.

You know, there is a difference. You can survive, you can get along with just enough, or you can truly live. Literally, governments and churches work at ‘just enough’ of a hypnotic overlay – just enough so they don't revolt or rebel or take us over; just enough food and money; just enough freedom where they think they truly have freedom, but they have just enough; just enough money where they think that having a house and three meals a day is fulfilling. Shaumbra, that's a bunch of crock (some laughter).

Do you see how the overlays work and people fall into them, and they believe it and the governments play along with it? Because the governments are a representation of the people. Just enough. And then once a year you get this thing called Christmas. You get a few extra days off. “Boy, the company sure was nice to give us a few extra days!” Just enough, Shaumbra. Two weeks vacation, barely enough to keep you from going absolutely wild and mad crazy from working all of the time. Just enough, you see.

Most people don't enjoy life. They “just-enough” life – just enough of it, just enough to keep you in the physical body, just enough to keep you in that nice little resonance called hypnotic overlay of life. Yes, one of you is asking us, Adamus coming through as well right now indeed. You can probably feel his energy. We are singing somewhat of a tune together today during this Shoud.

So, Shaumbra, life is to be enjoyed. Life is to give yourself permission to be who you are and enjoy life. Get rid of those overlays that say, “Just enough, just barely enough.” Don't be afraid to enjoy life.

Yes, I know, we mention the word, we say, “Enjoy life,” and some of you pull back. “Well, what if I enjoy it too much?” That’s Old Energy thinking, as we have told groups before. Some of here say, “But if I enjoy too much, I may turn into an alcoholic. I may gain too much weight. I may develop bad habits and addictions.” That is Old Energy thinking. That is the overlay, the thinking that had you only having just enough, you see. There is that fear out there, that darkness, or the bogeyman, or the demon. If you enjoy life too much, bad things will happen to you.

Now, Shaumbra, that doesn't even make sense, does it? It doesn't even make sense, especially when you realize as you are being yourself and enjoying life that is rapidly moving you out of that groggy state of awakening, rapidly moving you into the New Energy. And in the New Energy it’s all self-balancing. You’ll find, for instance, if you – how to say – you go out and try to over-enjoy life, and you try to push the limits, your body will tell you the next day. It’s self-balancing, not that you’ve done anything wrong, but your body knows how much it can take in of different things. It is very self-adjusting. It is very balanced into itself.

It is very, very rarely that when a human being who has died crosses over to our side, and if we're able to talk to them, we sit down, barely, barely human, whoever says, “You know, I just enjoyed life too much.” Humans come to our side, and they’re filled with woes; they’re filled with concerns and guilts and remorses. They talk about how they worked too much perhaps, how they didn’t love enough.

Some of them, the more light ones, talk about how they forgot to love themselves. Rarely is there a human who comes and says, “I truly enjoyed life.” When you come over, Shaumbra, if you can say that to us, we’re going to have a party. We’re going to celebrate the human who says, “I learned to enjoy life, everything about it.”

It is not a punishment. You’re not there even to save the world, you know. Some of you carry that responsibility. You feed on that. You’re here to save the world. You are not. To put it succinctly you’re here to discover what it's like to enjoy life.

What does that mean for you? What does that mean? Well, it probably means having the energy to do the things that you want, to do the things that you love, not to have the limitations anymore. Enjoying life probably means letting go of some old belief systems that are still dogging you, that are still with you; letting go of some of the old overlays, particularly some of the concepts of “have” and “have not.”

Some of you still are afraid if you have too much that others will suffer. Oh, Shaumbra, old news. That is SO last generation (some laughter). There is not a limit to the amount of energy that can be brought in, especially now that New Energy is playing such a new and different role in your civilization on Earth. There is not a limit.

So, if you could get rid of some of the old concepts of limitations and truly enjoy life, what does that mean for you? We are going to ask you to feel that and to even think about it a bit. What does it mean to enjoy life? What if there were no limitations? What if there was nothing in your way? Because truly there is not. It is only illusion. Everything you see in your way is an illusion. Sometimes you insist on that illusion being there for whatever reason.

What does “enjoy life” mean? And I want to throw in one caveat here. I am talking about enjoying life. I’m talking about for you, for yourself. You say that enjoying life is trying to go out and save the rest of the world. I’m sorry to say but you’re going to be coming back for many, many incarnations because it’s going to take a while to save the world.

What does it mean to enjoy life on Earth? And then how would you help teach that to others who came to you? We are not talking about evangelizing here. We’re not talking about getting on your bicycle and riding around neighborhoods knocking on doors. We’re talking about those who come to you. How would you talk to them about enjoying life? How would you share your experience about enjoying life?

We have to say we have talked about this before. One of the things that holds so many of you back are things that you don't even recognize. There are still some levels of old vows and oaths that you have taken in the past, past meaning this lifetime. Some of you even took vows and oaths last week.

There are some of those that are still holding you back from past lifetimes, lifetimes when you said, “I will never…” and then fill in the blank, lifetimes when you vowed to – how to say – some of you vowed to never enjoy sex. You took a vow, a holy vow for a religious order that “I will not enjoy sex.” Some of you said you will not have abundance. There is an old overlay that said in order to discover God you had to be poor, you had to do without. And it served a purpose for a while, but that too is last week's news. It is time to let go of that.

When you're looking at all of these things that feed you, now take a look at them from a different perspective. How many of the things that feed you are there because of an old vow or oath? Like we said, we have spoken about this before. We have spoken about how you create a belief system through a vow or an oath that is – how to say – very energized, very strong. And vows and oaths have a tendency to then go invisible, you see, because you've asked them to. You forget that they were ever there. You forget that you ever vowed something. Then, they become part of your feeding, but you don’t even see it or recognize it, or perhaps you see it for something else.

Now, go in and take a look at those things you feed on. How many of those are based on an old vow or oath? Vows and oaths continue. You continue to do it sometimes. We hear you saying, “I vow to… I am determined to lose weight this next year.” Oh, Shaumbra, please, please, it didn’t work last year or the year before (audience laughter). Some of you do it with things in your life.

There is still an overlay of what we call unbalanced discipline in your life. Oh, it’s an overlay for humanity in general. But we are going to ask you to take a look at it in your life. So many of you have an old vow or a series of vows that were done in a number of different lifetimes that helped to build up this belief system, old vows that you continue to hold onto that create the reality that you're living in right now.

Take a look at some of these things. Take a look at how they are part of your life right now, influencing what you do. Take a look at, in particular, the discipline aspects of your life. You have a belief that you have to be disciplined in order to get by, have just enough. You have to discipline yourself in diet. You have to discipline yourself in working out. You have to discipline yourself mentally and, more importantly, discipline yourself spiritually.

There is that old saying – “No pain, no gain. No discipline, no structure, no evolution,” you see. Many of you have vowed discipline. Perhaps, you didn’t say those exact words, but you were vowing to keep yourself so focused that you didn't see anything else, you see.

That overlay of discipline has been built up in societies and cultures all across the Earth to where it is still very prevalent. And that disciplined overlay, triggered by old vows, is one of the things that literally help sustain – how to say – this consciousness of Earth right now of just enough, just barely enough. It’s perpetuated in schools and in churches and by governments. You have to work hard. You have to stay disciplined. Your parents reinforced it for you because they were part of that consciousness. Discipline, discipline yourself. Focus, focus.

Shaumbra, it is time to let that one go, big-time, time to let that old belief system go, that discipline equals progress. It doesn't. Discipline is like that hamster in a cage running on the wheel, thinking it's going somewhere, thinking that it’s accomplishing something. But it’s just going in circles.

This overlay is very interesting. It would be interesting to do an entire study on the overlay of discipline, especially as it relates to old vows, and how it influences your life right now. You think that you have to discipline yourself in order to maintain your weight. You don't. You only imagine yourself if you want to have your weight in a balanced place. You think you have to discipline yourself to succeed in business… if you want to be like everyone else, perhaps. But if you want to discover the fast track, the easy track, really what we would call the sacred track, you let go of this whole aspect of discipline.

You think that you need discipline to keep you focused. That is actually what has kept you limited. Discipline will definitely create a focus, but the focus can be so limiting. And it causes things like depression. The human spirit was never intended to be so focused, so limited that it got lost. That is why so much depression occurs because these beings are screaming out from within, screaming out to be who they are, to enjoy life. But all of the overlays, all of the hypnosis from themselves and from society holds them back. It is probably one of the greatest causes of depression – limitation. The spirit was not meant to be limited. You are not meant to be limited.

Give yourself permission. Be who you are and fully enjoy life. What a wonderful homework assignment, especially right now in this holiday season! Can you enjoy your life this holiday season? Can you enjoy life? Can you get over the guilt about why you shouldn't be enjoying, why you should be in that whole group of just-enough, just-barely-enough humans who are existing today? Can you break out of that and not feel guilty about absolutely enjoying life? What a wonderful challenge!

So, we talked about what feeds you, meaning how all of these – how your belief system is created, and then how you pull in energies from the outside to help sustain that reality. It’s very simple. It doesn’t take – how to say – a rocket scientist or a Ph.D. to figure that one out. It is all of these things feeding you in your life. Neither good nor bad, they’re just feeding. They’re helping to create your reality platform. That’s all they are doing. That’s a blessing no matter what because it’s helping to create the reality that you're calling for at some level.

Continue to be aware of everything that's feeding you. And let's take it a step further now. How do you feed other people? How do you feed everything around you? How do you feed your pets? We’re not talking about the dog food. We’re talking about energy food here. How do you feed Gaia around you?

How do you feed your car, your automobile? You think it’s just a piece of metal? Think again, guess again. It is a spiritual identity. It doesn’t have a soul; it has an engine. It’s not going to reincarnate; it's going to the junk pile. But yet it carries a spiritual imprint and identity. It has its own consciousness. And you feed it, not just putting gas in the tank. Every time you hop in it, your attitude, your presence, and your belief systems feed it.

If you have a car that’s constantly breaking down, take a look at how you’re feeding it. If it’s constantly breaking down, Shaumbra, trade it in. Get a new one. Enjoy life. No sense in driving around an old beat-up car. You’re not going to impress anyone as being any type of guru in an old car. Trust us, that day is gone. Indeed, Saint-Germain is here (some laughter).

So, Shaumbra, how do you feed others? How do you feed the energy of your children? Again, there’s no good or no bad in this. What is your inter-relationship with them? How do you feed your brothers and sisters? Dramatically sometimes indeed! (audience laughter)

How do you feed your co-workers? Are you empowering them or are you dis-empowering them? Are you making them to feel that they have the right to be themselves or are you helping to limit them? Some of them literally, Shaumbra – you’re going to recognize this – some of them, your co-workers, literally want to be fed limitation. They don't understand that they are God also. They view themselves as mere mortal beings.

Some of them, your co-workers, consider themselves – how to say – very limited, without talent or ability. And they literally like to be fed that way. They like to be talked down to. They like to be diminished. Oh, they complain about it from time to time. But they feed on it. How are you interrelating with them? And when do you want to shut off that feeding that you are doing to them, or change the potentials behind the feeding that you’re doing?

How do you relate to the waiter or waitress at a restaurant, you see? Oh, this has more effect and more – how to say – energy behind it than you could possibly imagine. Here they are, the ones serving you, the ones also – how to say – the liaison with the kitchen, the ones who are bringing your food out. There is an energy exchange constantly taking place. How are you feeding them? It might have a lot to do with how they feed you, how that food arrives at your table.

How do you feed people in traffic and the cars around you? How do you feed the one who goes zooming past you, frightening you almost because you were off in Never-Neverland as you are driving down the highway (audience laughter)? You gave permission for your car to be on automatic pilot while you took a little break (more laughter). So, how do you feed that person? And again, no judgment, just feel what is coming in and going out at all times.

How do you feed the store clerk when you rush in to buy something? You’re in a hurry. You don’t even have time for a smile. You throw down the money. You’re impatient. You want to leave right away. You’re upset because they don't speak your native tongue necessarily. How are you feeding them? Interesting. And how are they being fed by this?

The dynamics are phenomenal, and they are actually quite simple. So, be very aware how all of this feeding takes place.

Let’s bring it to another level now. How do you feed beyond the physical realms, you see? And how do you receive from the non-physical realms? How do you connect with the angels and archangels? How do you feed them? You see, “archangel” means archetypical energy, not a souled being. You are putting or feeding your energy into that archetypical being, that archangel. You are helping to create them. Archangel Michael doesn't have a soul. He is part of you. You are helping to create that composite. Archangel Gabriel, the same way. How are you feeding into that?

Don't judge yourself, or feel guilty, or think you’ve thought a bad thought. That is not what makes a difference at all. It is just the consciousness. It is just the inner desires and passions that make a difference. Some of you get so tied up in worrying about what you're thinking.

It goes much deeper than that. It is about the inner passion and the inner drive and especially the inner beliefs. You try to watch what you think so carefully. Take a look at what your beliefs are, rather than what your thinking is. And they are two separate things. Beliefs and thoughts are quite different, Shaumbra. Ponder that for a bit.

So, how do you feed into the other realms, and how do they feed you? Or do you shut yourself off? Do you believe that there is no Santa Claus, that it is simply a character that was made-up, that actually has done more harm than good? Perhaps, some of you are still pissed off at Santa Claus, didn’t bring you what you wanted. Perhaps, you have shut down to things in the imagination realms because of that. Think about that a moment.

Perhaps, you were denied the proper Santa experience when you were young. Perhaps, there was such a disappointment when you were told that he wasn’t real, a figment of your imagination, created to pacify young children at this time of Christmas. So, perhaps there is a negative attribute that has kept you from expanding into the multi-dimensional, imaginational realms that are just as real or more than the human reality that you sit in right now, just as real or more.

These imagination realms, which up to now have been relatively separate from the human reality dimension, are very, very real. Ask any angel. They’ll be happy to tell you they’re just as real; different, but real.

So, there’s been this separation between the human reality and the other realities up until now. You’ve created a wall or a veil between them. You’ve created belief systems that kept the two very separate. But they’re coming together now, Shaumbra. They’re coming together where they can co-exist, side-by-side, multi-dimensionally, material and nonmaterial together. This is very real, very – how to say – actual potential.

We’re going to talk now and in the next few Shouds about how some of this works. We’re going to ask you not to get too heady about it. It’s going to have a tendency to go there. We are going to ask you when you get heady also feel it in your heart, also breathe it in. These are some very essential principles, essential tools, that we’re going to talk about. We are going to discuss shadow potentials and probabilities. Santa Claus, in a way, is a shadow, is a potential or probability that exists; it is very, very real.

You are a myriad of shadow potentials and probabilities. You're seeing and experiencing just one expression of yourself, one expression because you’ve gotten locked into it. You’ve agreed to it. Now, you want to get out. You want to go beyond it.

Let’s talk for a moment now about the “shadow biology.” You take a look, or you feel your body, and you say, “This is it. It’s getting older. It doesn’t serve me as well as what I would like it to.” And you accept that. Don't accept it anymore because you are seeing just one expression.

At a level that goes even deeper than the DNA, a level that is non-physical, there are a myriad of shadow biologies already existing within you. They’re not in the outer realms or the ethers. They’re right in you, right now. They are hidden behind the reality of your current biology, but they’re there. The fully healed body is right there. Yes, it is – the fully balanced body, the body that is not dying, the body that is filled with energy, the body that doesn't need to watch weight or watch food, worry about all these medical things.

It is such a shame these days. Humans are so mixed up and confused because of all this quote/unquote “medical advice” that is contradictory and that is disempowering. Humans are so worried every time they sneeze or fart or cough, Shaumbra (audience laughter). And all of this worry is causing the body to shut down quicker, shut down faster, because there is the belief system that the body is so delicate and fragile, the belief system that it is not resilient, that it literally responds.

Within you is shadow biology, the potential for your body to be truly anything. The potential for the body to re-grow a limb. We were asked several years ago, “Is it possible?” And we said, “It is possible but not probable at this time because of the overlay of consciousness. But now within Shaumbra even that overlay is going away. The shadow biologies are all of the other potentials. Yes, indeed the potential to re-grow hair. The potential, Shaumbra, to clear through some of the physical discomforts. The shadow biology also incorporates its own tremendous healing capability that literally has the potential to go into old scars, even literally that have been carried over from past lives, and to rejuvenate those as well.

You see, within your physical body you also carry much emotional or traumatic energy from the past. Perhaps, you were burned at the stake, killed in a war, had a severe accident, or any one of these things. You tend to carry that over into your physical expression in this lifetime. The shadow biology has the potential to re-balance or rejuvenate all of that.

What we are saying is you are not just locked into this body that you have. You’re not defined by this singular bodily expression anymore. All of the other potentials are already inside of you. And it's only a matter of letting them come out, only a matter of, as we say, looking at how your belief systems feed your reality. And when you want to change the reality, you change your belief systems. And then all of these potentials can go to work for you. Shadow biology can clear cancer out of the body, if you believe it and if you allow it to happen.

The shadow biology is in you right now. You don't have to pray for it. You don’t have to – definitely do not – go out trying to activate it. You’re going to be messing with a very natural process. If any of you start doing shadow biology activation classes (audience laughter), you’re now taking a beautiful, natural concept, and you’re intellectualizing it, and you’re putting a methodology and a process to it.

If you ever want to, what you say, “activate” the shadow biology, it is simply a matter of being in a safe space, being in a point of that stillness, that quiet, where it’s you and your breath. You’re giving yourself permission to be who you are and enjoy life. Well, then it’s automatically activated. It automatically starts coming into your new reality base that you have.

The shadow biology doesn't need to be brought in from other realms. It simply needs to be accepted in your life. You can't push it or force it. It doesn't work that way. It’s about accepting it, and it’s about looking at how your belief systems are creating your body, creating your physical being.

Indeed, the shadow biology has the potential to correct vision. It has the potential to clear out – how to say – imbalances that are in the blood. It definitely has potential to work with AIDS. Those who are in the medical practice that, in particular, have an interest in AIDS, who have asked us questions recently, but – how to say – it hasn't been answered, within this is the key, understanding how the shadow biology can come out.

What we're saying here is you are not one body. You are many, many bodies. But the other ones are in the shadow behind the reality that you’re putting the light on right now. Behind this expression of physical being that you have right now are many, many other potentials and probabilities.

You say, “But is this just talk? How do I bring it out? Is this – how to say – just the imagination?” Absolutely! Through the imagination, through opening up your own set of belief systems, it can come in and be expressed. You will be amazed at what it can do for the body. We will discuss more of this in some of the upcoming Shouds. But you are more than just one body. You are many. Which one do you want to bring forward into your new reality?

Just as you have a shadow biology or biologies, you also have many “shadow personalities,” aspects of yourself that have been dormant, that have been latent. And they too are ready to come out. Do you think that perhaps you were born into this lifetime as a female, you have a certain level of education, you’ve done work in perhaps nursing and some type of health-care field, you have a certain expression of your identity? That is but one expression or one aspect. You’re not locked into it.

Within you are the latent potentials and probabilities to be an artist, to be a philosopher, to be a writer, a musician, a farmer, a priest, or a priestess. You see, you’ve been expressing just one probability. Within you are all of the “shadows,” all of the other potentials and probabilities. Now, they can come into play.

You perhaps have felt an urge lately to play music. But you’ve never done that before; you wouldn’t know where to start. Perhaps, it is that probability, that shadow self, that other aspect of you now wanting to integrate into your reality. Your belief system has defined you in a certain way to say that, well, you couldn't possibly do that. And you give yourself all of the mental justifications why you couldn't be this musician because you haven’t been trained in it.

You would be surprised now in your New-Energy being if you sat down to try some of these new things how easy it might be to pick it up, how you don't need to use discipline, you don't have to go through suffering and all of these – how to say – rigors of learning because now it comes from the expression of the heart rather than the analysis of the mind. You’ll bring out all the shadow selves that you are. You defined yourself by one body, one personality, one name. You are many, Shaumbra, many, many.

You can call these alternative realities, but generally when you think of alternate realities, you think of them existing in some other dimensions far, far away. But literally they can co-exist with you in this physical reality because you also, as your shadow selves start coming forth, you’ll realize you’re also not in this third dimension, not the way you thought you were. You’re not locked in here. You are many dimensions.

We have spoken once, “In my father's house there are many, many mansions.” What that means is that the probabilities, the shadow selves, the other expressions of your spiritual self can all take place together in a multi-dimensional non-layered manner. They can all be expressed right here right now.

There are “shadow lifetimes” that have never been lived in the course of your lifetimes on Earth. Some of you have had a few, some hundreds, some a few thousand lifetimes. But there are shadow lifetimes that have never been lived – on Earth anyway. They have been lived in other realms or perhaps they’ve never been brought into imagination. They’ve lain latent and dormant. And yes, there are perhaps millions, billions of the potentials of shadow lifetimes. You’ve defined yourself in your metaphysical New Age terms and in terms of your lineage of lifetimes, but you haven't considered the shadow lifetimes that weren’t lived here on Earth.

You see, you are so much more than what you thought. You are so much more of an expression than what you see in the mirror and what you live each day. Some of you have played; you have gone off into the other realms. You've done multi-dimensional work out there. You have allowed yourself to imagine out there but not in here. With this new understanding of the shadow nature of self, the many probabilities and potentials, you start bringing them into this theater, this stage of Earth, of life now. You don't have to separate the two anymore. They can be brought together.

This all ties in, Shaumbra, all of what we have been talking about for several years – the imagination, the opening up, the understanding that you’re not limited, the understanding that you can bring it in here right now.

So, in the next few weeks that we have until our next gathering, give yourself permission to be everything that you are, you see. We talked about it last month. You thought we were just talking about you, the human. We are talking about you, the soul, the over-soul, the many potentials and probabilities. And remember what we said – you can express more than one reality at a time, one of the concepts that Saint Germain knows so well. You can express multiple realities simultaneously. What a concept!

Give yourself permission to be who you are, more than who you ever thought you were. Give yourself permission these next few weeks to enjoy life. It is so important in terms of being the true multi-dimensional self. You can't do it if you are not enjoying life. How can you bring all of these probabilities and shadow potentials into reality if you don't even want to be here, if you're not even giving yourself the gift of life? How can you bring it in if you're subscribing to the old belief system of just barely enough? Some of you are still on that – just barely enough. How can you bring in all of these other probabilities, potentials, and expressions of spiritual creativity if you still subscribe to just barely enough?

So, enjoy life in this holiday season. Let yourself go. Don’t worry about the others. Let yourself enjoy. That in itself is an invitation to the alternate, to the shadow probabilities, to come in and dance together with you on your stage, your life. Remember it’s not coming from us. These are all of yours that are coming in.

In these next few weeks of time until our next Shoud, take a good deep breath, and let yourself start experiencing what it is like to have multiple realities co-existing together in the same time and space continuum. That will give you something to ponder also. You have bought into the belief system that only one expression can be actualized or realized at a time.

Now, let yourself potentiate. Let yourself open up and feel multiple expressions of self, potentials coming out of the shadows and now coming into reality, co-existing. It is a – how to say – some of you will think this is a multiple personality disorder (some laughter). It is actually multiple personality by order (more laughter). You are allowing this process to take place.

And feel what it is like. We recommend not doing it while you're driving a car or operating heavy equipment (more laughter). You may get an overwhelming feeling of spatial disorientation, but this is appropriate. You’re not losing balance. You’re only losing control, you see. You didn’t want the control to begin with.

Let yourself be multiple expressions of you. Don't force it. Just allow it to happen. You can experience things from many different directions altogether in the Now moment. This is what Saint-Germain did. This is what he is a master at doing. This is what he is going to help you with.

Take off the limitations. Go for it, Shaumbra. Enjoy this holiday season.

And so it is.
