Jeremy,
So I was thinking about how you said it was too hard to try and remove/break up some of the anger/pain that I have right now. And that it seems like I don’t want to let it go. Thing is, I “want” to let it go. I am reading “The Power of Now” by Tolle right now and am trying so hard to be in the Now and not react with my painbody to a situation right now.
Situation being: A Child Protective Services case was started on my ex-husband on concerning his son who lives in the same house as my daughter who he has custody of. He is saying that the situation has nothing to do with my daughter. But it has everything to do with my daughter. His son is visiting his mother for 6 weeks this summer and I have been speaking to her and she isn’t letting my ex’s son go back to him….and she is trying to gain full custody back of her son…..with all things said, he basically scammed his first ex wife out of one son, he scammed me and played games to manipulate the situation to get custody of my daughter………and now he is involved in a Child Protective services case where they are going to be in the house evaluating 3-5 days out of the week. My ex husband as I said before is very manipulative and clever….I feel like I need to be doing something but have no idea what. I always doubt that I am going in the right direction when it comes to him and the protection of our daughter. I know that if I stay in this much anger and pain it isn’t going to help in the situation. Like the secret , I know that being negative will just attract more negativity. I know this but I just can’t seem to apply it. I think I don’t trust enough that what will happen is what needs to happen. I have guilt that I might choose the wrong choice and what should happen in the best interest of us all, won’t. And in all of this I also know that whatever happens is supposed to happen. I want so much to just be in the now. I know that this is a huge opportunity for me to feel the pain as it hits me, to be aware of it, and to be able to let go of it knowing there is no point in creating pain for myself….but I just can’t see to take the step or leap to apply it…….and I’m not sure how to leap exactly either even though it makes so much sense as I read about it. I know that I could heal myself so much by this
opportunity but it seems so difficult to do even though it is so simple at the same time.
How can I take action but be in the now and not let my painbody take over? It’s like cooking and trying to ride a bike at the same time……I just don’t think it’s possible or know how to accomplish this task.
Any thoughts?

Hi Jenny,
As I have gone back over your e-mail it comes to mind to congratulate you on finding yourself on this path of sorts. As you are looking at this material and as you are looking for answers I want to mirror back to you that you are contemplating some very powerful truths.
It might be said that the pain body is like a dark cloud that is between what appears to be the conscious self ("you") and the freeing light of truth. If you feel confused and in the dark it is a sign that the pain body has once again won your attention.
I have become convinced that while working on clearing energy is very useful it is also true that these clouds are supposed to come and go. To me spiritual work helps us to realize the great ground of being that all of these events, relative circumstances, and our own disparaging mental and emotional waves pass through. Waking up helps us to stay in balance while we simply do what we can in our relative circumstances. It is the fine art of being okay with paradox when we can be free of outcome and yet be a good steward of our lives. We can simply do what seems to us to be the highest good at the time. Spiritual lessons have a lot to do with showing us our attachments and somehow still knowing and resting in spirit. I am reading a book by a woman from Rwanda who survived a massive country wide holocaust and lost her entire family to machete yielding neighbors. It is amazing how she was able to feel the presence of spirit while hundreds of killers were hunting her down and they were often only a few feet away from her. This went on for over 7 weeks. Included in the story line are many examples of manipulation and what seems to be a collective savagery that is clearly a country wide pain body at work. See an article on this story at http://www.drwaynedyer.com/articles/ltt.php
As you are in your own challenge you can also be willing to play it out for however long it needs to. Non-resistance is a high spiritual state that clearly is not fight and is clearly okay that things are the way they are.
If you have the time I have benefited from viewing this youtube clip from Burt Harding. He speaks about how we can allow fear. The fear can be picked up from an ex-husband, the television, a neighbor etc. While we can try to clear it or process it, in this new level of wisdom it often seems more appropriate to simply allow it to be and it will pass when it passes. This attitude sets up a new climate of consciousness that radically improves the likely hood of relief. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0ns8cSv7c8&feature=related
When we are not feeling the rays of truth we can at least keep ourselves in mental balance. As you do class and take in wisdom through certain books the attention is shifting. I think that there is a lot of sanity in knowing that the truth or the sweetness of divinity cannot be killed or taken away. Our attention is all too often courted to seeing or looking for problems. While we need to handle things on the physical level and while there seems to not be a reasonable answer at the time we can take a deep breath and we can be alive and present to the teaching that spirit has put right in front of us.
For you I am sure that the stuff that you are dealing with is a construct held in place mostly by resistance. Clearing it is often what I offer initially. On a higher level what is truly powerful is to know that we are fighting and trying to get rid of stuff keeps it around. (What you resist persists.) My e-mail is sort of designed to help you see how this can be explained more comprehensively for your situation.
If you can watch the mind looking for the right answer and the way to fix this situation you can also ask to see if this thinking is coming from resistance. Spirit will show you the way when and how it needs to. It is always true that this does not happen on the ego's terms. We know what to do when it is being done. We know what to say when it is being said. The how, why, where and who stuff can now be seen as sprouting from fear and resistance.
Here is another body of work that I have found very useful. I will be using her stuff a lot in the three month class that begins on Wednesday, September 17. I recommend that you take it if you can. http://www.thework.com/index.asp
Let your spirit do your day,

What can I do about a very challenging and damaging relationship with the father of my child?
Jeremy,
My ex-husband who I have a child with who is 4 years old right now..won custody December 2007. We just had a confrontation yesterday.....he said something rude about me having Web Cam visists to our daughter. I asked him what his problem was...and he hung up the Web Cam call. We have been going at it back and forth on e-mail and he always trips me up and twists and turns things around. So I felt like I needed to look up narcissist on Google and I found the symptoms and just about every symptom I can put situations to that I know of that fits my ex. So basically I just had a huge flash of the last 5 years of my life and it finally all made sense to me.
So my question is if I have to call my daughter 3 times a week and a web cam visit once a week, how do I get along with a narcisisist? And I am speaking in a spiritual type nature. I don't want all this constant chaos in my life but I feel I also need to speak out and protect my daughter as a mother as well. And now I just feel sick that he manipulated the judge in Georgia to win full custody over me. He set this whole situation up since the beginning. And to know my daughter is being raised by a narcissist just makes me sick. And I feel it's all my fault, that I didn't do enough. But back to the actual situation, do you have any idea how I need to handle this since I have 14 more years to go until Journey is 18 years old? How do you deal with a narcissist in a pure way, a spiritual way? All that came to me yesterday while I was just so upset at him was "love your enemy"...and I don't really understand how to do that with him. I feel like my marriage to him was just a false illusion....that I didn't really know him at all.
Any advice/thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I really hope I am not bothering you with all these e-mails lately.
Take Care,
Jenny

Is Intuitive Writing Class also meant for developing a relationship with your spirit guides?
Hello Jeremy,
Can you give me some more descriptive information on your Intuitive Writing Course. I searched your web site but did not see anything. I have started with in the last 3 mos getting messages via "writing" from my Guides, & I'm wondering what you cover in your course.
Happy sunshine to you!
Kind regards,
Betty B.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Betty,
I am responding to your e-mail after assuming that you are asking about possible help or support for your continued relationship with your spirit guides. I believe that the help that you are looking for is available in the class. It might be a little more indirect than you are imagining.
As I channel and work with guides in service to others once or twice a month (see the events calendar) I have become very impressed by the oneness of universal intelligence. When I teach outside of channeled state I usually don't express that intuitive impressions come from my guides. When there might be participants that work actively in conversation with their guides in class, I choose stay open to how anybody might work.
While it is very true to me that within the great divine dance that we have spiritual helpers, I have also been working with the implications of oneness. Many sages speak to this in saying that there are ultimately no separations what-so-ever. This being that there is no here and there or location and for that matter there is not a "me" and a "them." This being that in ultimate oneness there is no me and guides as separate parts.
I now sense that speaking for what is known as truth or is coming up as an impulse of divine knowing, one is most empowered to simply confess from themselves to others that what is alive and true is abiding and true for its own sake. This is to say that knowingness is knowingness and when one knows, one knows. This is the sort of dialogue that I would probably work with during this writing class.
Your are so welcome to bring your pen, be in the uplifted intention of the room, take on the writing prompts and share what is true for you. This is definitely an amazing opportunity for intuitive development to share and play with others.
With Kind Regards,
Jeremy

Does a class participant have to agree with Jeremy and how is class useful for the development of ones own sense of truth?
Hi Kimberly,
As for your continued journey and inquiry into spirit and/or religion please do continue to ask questions and be real with what is working for you and what is not. If you know ahead of time that you are going to be at an night event you can also ask a few questions ahead of time by way of e-mail. I can try to weave what I might do with the content of your inquiries into the class. This might work extra well for the next Spiritual Focus Group in another month.
I also feel called to continue the dialog on the nature of Intention. The confusion or contradiction in this topic I think relates directly to the age old philosophical debate on the nature of personal will verses pre destiny. And I think that it is similar to the old "chicken and the egg" situation. In the relative sense I think that it is very useful to know your intention and to set it up deliberately and in this matter the law of attraction has gained enormous popularity. I personally use this material on many occasion.
Real confusion can set in as the nature of divine enfoldment is looked into. If one is okay with paradox then we can grow from it. If we are not we will still grow from it but there will be discomfort depending on how we relate with it. As there is great risk in just believing what a teacher or religion says without consulting some sort of authority or principal there is also to the degree that you are ready, a very necessary place for not needing to understand this stuff from an intellectual basis.
As I inquire the nature of the field of intention it seems as though it has a power of it's own. It has been said that everything comes up in the field of intention in an interdependent fashion. Nothing is causing anything else. As it might be seen through "What the Bleep" the material world as we taste, touch, see and smell it is merely the tip of the iceberg. The power is beyond the finite idea of "us." As for "The Secret" and "What the Bleep" and many other matters I personally do not use or totally agree with all of it. I think that is how it is supposed to be. So ultimately and perhaps arguably, I feel like I have no say in how the universe or my life unfolds. What seems to be "I" is emerging in a vast interdependent field of power. What seems to be "my" form is actually a mixture of elements from the universe such as water, minerals, the sun, etc. In a similar fashion "I" as a being can be defined in so many ways and seen in so many ways that "I" must be pure subjectivity. Because of so many views and levels there can only, at least eventually be a meltdown of the sense that I am a thing at all. From this there is no me to intent anything what-so-ever.
Please note that I explain somethings that are true on one level but not another.
I can be coerced into intellectual process quite easily because in part I can see the value in it. I am also personally very committed to reducing the need to understand myself and the universe with my intellect. I think that it is fair to consider that I will bring this up often no matter what topic comes up. I do enjoy the dance immensely and please continue to feel welcome to create dialog.
Please also notice that everyone comes and goes of their own free will and it must be staged that I cannot be an authority for any-body's life and truth but my own.
That is all for now,
Love and Light,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for writing! I took some time reading your words and I appreciate you taking the time to do this. This past week I've had many thoughts rolling through my head, not just about what you said and our last meeting, but it's interesting when you question what's up with most things that pass through your mind...wonderful way to challenge oneself.
I do have lots of thoughts and questions I can pass on for our next meeting, and I do want to respond to some things you've said here. Thank you for welcoming me and being open, especially during the times when our beliefs vary. I'll write again this week and let you know my
thoughts when I have more time to write them.
Have a great day :)

After I recommended that one read "Power Vs. Force" by David Hawkins, I was asked about his scale of human consciousness.
Dr. Hawkins's scale of consciousness is heralded by current authorities in transformation such as Dr. Wayne Dyer and fervently reviewed by Dr. Deepak Chopra. Through kineseological testing human consciousness can be measured on an arbitrary number scale. In this case from 1 to 1000.Jeremy: I have begun reading David Hawkins' book, Power and Force. Can you ask and then tell me what number or scale score I was born with? and my mother and my dad when they were born? (They are both passed over now.)
Jessica Dhan
Hi Jessica,
I am best at having dialogs on the levels of consciousness. As it is if you are generally a good person and have a lot of willingness to help out your fellow human then you are certainly in the 300's
somewhere.
If you have a strong intellectual life and are a very good steward of your reality in terms of logic you are probably in the 400's.
There are so few people that make it to the 500 mark. I offer groups that are built around spiritual intention as a means to shift into this and other levels.
Generally, I sense that one has to put the quality of lovingness or being like the divine into their mind with earnestness. This has to be more important than any attraction to psychic powers or paranormal phenomenon. The latter can hold one back from being in a simple alignment with truth considerably.
As for giving you a specific number. I am not qualified to do this at this time. I don't know my number and I don't think about in that way. I am simply focused on the best that I can be in terms of quality consciousness. I am conscious of the spiritual ego and how it wants to have handles and these numbers while they are very helpful they can also get us caught up.
I hope once again that this helps matters somewhat.
Best of wishes on your journey in the days ahead.
Peace and Joy,
Jeremy
Thanks Jeremy. I am not that concerned with the numbers.
I have almost finished the book. A lot of it I can relate to from personal experience, mulling over, etc. but I have a different view of mind and body. I am not stuck on it but at this time it makes sense to me that it (the body) is the difference between being here and passed over. Over there you get separated out by like levels of development. Here everyone gets to mix because the body provides a type of shield in some cases and a mask in others. There is still attraction of like to like but it is not as "automatic".
(The loss of innocent children to a child molester doesn't seem to fit the model expressed in the book of like attracts like. )
I agree that thought creates and each of us does create. I also think we are evolving and think there is a group evolution and an individual experience.
Alexandra David McNeal wrote several books on her studies of tibetan buddhism. She created a tulsa (? spelling) , a personality that became problematic. She had to work hard to uncreated it.
On another thought the book "The Pea and the Sun" by Leonard Wander probably speaks to an extent about creation---it contains an interesting math theorem. I am not a math person but enjoy reading some of the material out there meant for the lay reader.
with interest, Jessica
