视角的转变
B：好的，我来说：请提问。
提问者：你能告诉我克利奥帕特拉（埃及艳后）在与凯撒共治期间的目标是什么吗？
B：不能。请提问。
提问者：我想问你一个问题。
B：请稍等一下……（停顿）
提问者：我很好奇……
B：请稍等一下…… 你可以理解这样一个观点，那个存在、那个时期的人格所做的选择，直接促成了找到一个情感基础，使得那个存在成为了一种特定情感理念的表达渠道，这种情感理念代表着那个文明想要向外扩展、与周围其他文明接触的整体大众意识的一部分；而且是通过情感层面而非精神层面的互动来实现的。你明白我的意思吗？
提问者：明白。
B：目前这样的回答可以吗？
提问者：那太好了。谢谢你。
B：谢谢你。还有问题吗？
提问者：是的，我有个问题。只是为了更好地理解通灵的机制：如果我或者其他人用另一种语言提问——比如用法语或西班牙语，你能理解吗？还是因为通灵者……？
B：你会发现，从某种意义上说我们能理解；然而，我们不会说你们的语言。要知道我们是在利用——在通灵者允许的情况下——通灵者作为一个翻译工具。所以，从某种意义上说，正如你所说的对特定语言的理解，必须存在于这个翻译工具，也就是通灵者身上。要知道概念会被理解，但它们无法以心灵感应的方式直接呈现出来。
提问者：嗯，我明白了。
B：要知道这是因为通灵者始终被认为拥有自由意志，并且在某种程度上，他们始终确切地知道自己是如何运作的。因此你会发现，只有在非常有限的情况下——这取决于通灵者自己的意愿，当他们几乎完全让自己从现实中转移注意力时——他们才会允许自己超越语言的概念，自己进行心灵感应。这样一来，当语言不再有任何意义时，他们就能以那种通灵者的方式发挥作用。
提问者：嗯。谢谢你。
B：谢谢你。请提问。
提问者：我有个问题。每个个体，每个意识都创造出自己的现实。如果涉及到另一个意识……
B：那么这就是一个共享的现实，是个体之间达成一致的现实。这个现实中被双方——或者说被所有人——共享和体验的部分，在某种程度上，就如同你们的物质星球是一个大众达成共识的现实。要知道在你们的体系中有很多个体，他们只共享你们现实的一部分；你们称他们为疯子。他们正在体验其他你们根本不愿意去看待的现实。
提问者：哦，好的。是的。那么我们要怎么做才能更好地融合呢？因为当你与另一个意识打交道时，他们有自己的现实、自己的体验，而如果你想在其中感受到爱……
B：要知道你所需要做的就是整合你自己，因为你们每个人都是自己的宇宙，就是宇宙本身。通过让自己以完全的自我整合来充实这个宇宙，进而实现完美的自爱，你就是在让宇宙充满爱，而这种爱就可以被所有愿意接受的人所分享。当你让自己像爱的灯塔一样发光时，你就是在尽自己最大的努力与任何想要感受爱的人分享那种感觉——但他们必须是愿意的。
提问者：如果他们不愿意，那么……
B：那太糟糕了！在你试图把爱强加给他们的那一刻——那一秒，那一瞬间——你就正在从自己的宇宙中移除那份爱。
提问者：哦！是的，没错。
B：这也是评判时会发生的情况。要知道为了进行评判，你必须处于那个层面。你必须与你所轻视的对象处于同等水平——才能理解它。这样一来，你会立刻受到自己的评判。
提问者：但是成为那样并没有什么错，因为你会形成一些观念——对吧？但这是……
B：从那个意义上说，是的。
提问者：但就是评判会对你产生影响，因为为了与它处于同等水平，你必须成为那样。
B：谢谢你。
提问者：好的。很好。
B：请提问。
提问者：我有个问题。当一个人死亡时，他们的意识会怎样，以及我们在这个星球上所知道的身体又会怎样？死去的人会怎样？
B：好的。（用非常小且紧张的声音模仿提问者的语气低语）你确定你想听到这个吗？这里面有些非常奇怪和神秘的事情——
提问者：是的。
B：你确定你不害怕吗？
提问者：不害怕。
B：你确定你不会对其中的神秘感到敬畏吗？
提问者：你在取笑我吗？
B：我是在和你开玩笑呢。容我这么说：这没什么大不了的神秘，其实非常简单。要知道，在很多方面，你们所说的死亡和生命并没有什么不同，它只是另一种视角。你可以理解为你已经转移了你的关注点——转变了你的视角，向另一个方向转了180度——现在你正从另一个视角看待生命，就是这么简单；这就像是穿过一扇门进入另一个房间。
我得说，确实涉及到一些振动的机制。但总体效果就是你仍然能意识到自己；你仍然能察觉到自己的意识。
从某种意义上说，你是在给自己一个不同的视角，一个能让你对物质现实有一个全面了解的视角。用你们的话来说，这就像是站在山顶上，能够看到山谷里的所有居民，而山谷里的人在某种程度上只能看到山谷，看不到山的另一边是什么。但山和山谷都是生命的一部分，站在山顶上会有一种兴奋感，但这不是一种评判性的感觉。只是你能感受到风，你自己意识的风，而且你能更容易地看到它吹向哪个方向，这只是一个视角的转变，非常简单。你怎么看？
提问者：我怎么看？我觉得这是个很棒的答案。
B：哦不，不！不是问你对我的想法怎么看——是问你自己怎么想？“和你伟大的威严相比，我这个微不足道的人又怎么想呢？”
提问者：你这印度口音真像。你真的想知道？好吧，我告诉你。
B：不！
提问者：好吧。
B：好吧。其实我更想问：你有什么感觉？
提问者：好的，我想和你分享一下。
B：谢谢你。我就知道会……
提问者：在我做的工作中，我常常能清楚地感觉到那些据说已经脱离身体的实体。他们非常真实地存在着，并且非常想和来找我的人分享信息。所以我觉得肯定存在超越身体的存在，很高兴听到你证实了这一点。
B：首先要知道，身体和精神其实只是同一能量的不同表现形式。从某种意义上说，身体只是灵魂以物质形式的一种投射。并不是说你的灵魂有胳膊和腿，因为它不需要；但它是一种观念的投射，是意识的投射。
现在，你们很多人在身体上产生的一种情况——你们称之为问题——也就是疾病，其实只是因为他们认为物质形式是分离的，并且低于精神形式。这样一来，你们的身体就会非常顺从地变得更差。当你把自己理解为一个完整的存在，并且认识到精神和身体是同一个观念，只是从不同的视角来看待时，那么你的身体就会反映出那种精神的绝对完美，永远不会生病。请提问。
提问者：你说 “dis-eased”（不安、不适，这里表示生病的状态），你是指生病的那种意思吗？
B：是的。“dis-ease” 就是疾病的本质。请提问。
提问者：我有一个客户，她有一种很严重的过敏症。她对几乎所有东西都过敏——她必须品尝食物。我会为她做豆芽，或者给她带些食物，她尝了之后就会有反应，然后就会生病。我能做些什么来帮助这个人呢？
B：好的。首先容我先说几点。要知道很多人选择了某些疾病，并且会在他们的整个物质生命中一直处于患病状态，因为对他们来说，这会表达一种他们想要学习的观念，来实现一种关于他们自己的观点。因此，他们永远不会让自己摆脱疾病。这也没关系。
不过我要说的是，你可能会发现，在大多数情况下，这反映了这些人在童年时期接受了某些信仰体系。他们接受了一些观念和信仰，这些观念和信仰让他们现在认为自己非常脆弱，就像你说的那样，被风吹来吹去，飘忽不定。而且他们需要被同情，我得说。
现在要知道，虽然我们和你们有很多共同的观念，但有一个观念我们是不认同的，那就是同情的观念。对我们来说，这是我们能对你们做的最具破坏性的事情。我们只是选择让你们表达你们整体意识的一部分，并且向你们发送振动，如果你愿意的话，这种振动能让你改变你的信仰。给自己一个选择，而不是通过同情的能量来强化疾病，从而一直专注于疾病。
提问者：嗯。对。
B：因此，第一步就是不要同情。现在，你会发现你们很多人会认为这在情感上很冷漠。
提问者：我相信。我认为不应该给予同情，因为那样他们会强化那种疾病。
B：好的。相反，你可以简单地对那些人表达创造性的同情。让他们感受到自己对自己的创造性同情。让他们意识到，通过让自己有更充分的自我意识，他们可以实现任何他们需要实现的事情。当他们认为自己不如周围的自然元素，与自然元素分离，比自然赋予他们应有的价值更不值得存在时，那么他们的身体就会有相应的反应。
提问者：对。
B：你明白我的意思吗？
提问者：是的，当然明白。请提问。
提问者：这和体重有关系吗？超重的情况？
B：在某种程度上有关系。
提问者：还有别的吗？你能再深入讲一点吗？
B：你会发现很多人只是等待，而不是去行动。你明白这个类比吗？
提问者：我正在思考。
B：好的。别想太久。
提问者：因为我长胖了——比如说，一个月内我胖了20磅——而且一直减不下来。
B：因为你在努力减肥吗？
提问者：嗯，我有身体上的问题；我一直在努力解决身体上的问题……
B：身体上的什么问题？
提问者：肾脏——还有我的肝脏。
B：身体上的什么？
提问者：问题。
B：什么？
提问者：状况。
B：谢谢你。要知道，如果你让自己真正感受到词汇的变化，你就会感受到这个词所象征的振动的变化。如果你让自己感受到振动的变化，你就会让自己成为那种振动。不是 “问题（problem）”。“问题。一种状况（situation）。哦，状况！一种体验（experience）。体验就是去做，去做，去做。所以，我会去做别的事情。”
再一次强调，要知道在某种程度上——尽管从你对自己在一生中应该教给自己什么的整体理解来看，可能有一些原因——但在大多数情况下，我要说，你只需要向自己表明，你所需要的就是愿意去生活。你不需要等待去做任何事情。
你可以做任何你想做的事情；一切都是有意义的。要知道最让你兴奋的事情就是你能做的最有意义的事情。当你非常兴奋，并且总是在行动时，你就不会有太多的 “等待（waiting）”。事实上，你会相当 “没有重量（weightless）”（与 “不等待（wait-less）” 谐音）。
提问者：非常感谢你。
B：谢谢你。
视角的转变
原文段落：
A Shifting Perspective
B: All right, I’ll say: question.
Q: Can you tell me what Cleopatra’s goals were during her reign, in association with Caesar?
B: No. Question.
Q: I would like to ask you a question.
B: One moment, please… (Pause).
Q: I was curious…
B: One moment, please… You may understand one idea, in that the choices of that being, that personality at that time, were directly responsible for finding an emotional foundation which allowed that being to be the channel of expression for a particular portion of the emotional idea of an overall mass consciousness represented by that civilization, with regard to its wishes to expand into contact with other civilizations round and about it; but through that level of emotionality rather than mental interaction. Do you follow me?
Q: Yes.
B: Will that do for now?
Q: That will be great. Thank you.
B: Thank you. Yes?
Q: Yeah, I have a question. Just to understand better the mechanics of the channeling: if I or somebody else would ask a question in another language – in French or in Spanish, would you understand? Or because the channel…?
B: You will find that in a sense we will understand; however, we do not speak your language. Realize that we are utilizing – as the channel allows us to do so – the channel as a translation device. Therefore, in a sense, the understanding, as you say, of a particular language must be within the translation device, within the channel. Realize that the concepts will be understood, but there will be no way for them to telepathically emerge.
Q: Mhmm. I understand.
B: Realize that this is because a channel, seen always as having free will, still, on some level, is always aware of exactly how they are functioning. And as such you will find that only when in very limited circumstances – depending upon the channel’s own willingness when they allow themselves to defocus almost totally from their reality – will they allow themselves to supercede the idea of language and become telepathic themselves. And as such, thereby, they will be able to function in a way as that type of channel – when language does not mean anything.
Q: Mhmm. Thank you.
B: Thank you. Question.
Q: I have a question. In each individual, each consciousness creates her own reality. And if it involves another consciousness…
B: Then that is a shared reality, agreed upon between the individuals. The portion of that reality to be shared and experienced by both of them – or all of them – as your physical planet is a mass agreed-upon reality, to a degree. Realize there are many individuals in your system that share only portions of your reality; you call them insane. They are experiencing other realities of which you are simply not willing to view.
Q: Oh, okay. Yes. So what can we do to better integrate that? Because when you’re dealing with another consciousness, they have their own reality, their own experience, and if you want to have the feeling of love there…
B: Realize that all you need is to integrate yourself, since each and every one of you is your own universe, is the universe. By allowing yourself to fill that universe with total integration of self, and therefore, perfect self-love, you will be filling the universe with love, and that love then can be shared by all those that are willing. When you allow yourself to radiate as a beacon of love, then you will be doing the most you can possibly do to share that feeling with anyone else who wishes to – but they have to wish to.
Q: And if they don’t, then…
B: Too bad! The minute – the second, the instant – you wish to force that upon them, you are removing that love from your own universe.
Q: Ooh! Yes, that’s right.
B: That is also what occurs in judgment. Realize that in order to judge, you must become that level. You must be equal to that which you are being condescending towards – to understand it. And as such, you become judged by yourself instantly.
Q: But there is nothing wrong with becoming it, because you become ideas – right? But it’s…
B: In that sense, yes.
Q: But it’s the judgment then that acts upon you, because in order to be equal to it, you have to become it.
B: Thank you.
Q: Okay. Good.
B: Question.
Q: I have a question.
B: All right.
Q: What happens to the consciousness of the person when they die and to the body, as we know it on this planet? What happens to people who die?
B: All right. (Whispering in a very small, strained voice, mimicking the person asking the question) Where you (–?) very strange and mysterious things – are you sure you want to hear this?
Q: Yes.
B: Are you sure you are not afraid?
Q: No.
B: Are you sure you’re not awed by the mystery?
Q: Are you making fun of me?
B: I am having fun with you. Allow me to say: ’tis no big mystery, ‘tis really quite simple. Realize, in very many ways, what you term to be death is no different than life, ‘tis simply another viewpoint. You may understand that you have shifted your focus – shifted your perspective, turned 180 degrees in another direction – and are now viewing life from another viewpoint, ‘tis that simple; ’tis like stepping through a door into another room.
‘Tis very simple, I will say there are mechanics of vibration involved, yes. But the overall effect is simply that you are still conscious of yourself; you are still aware of your consciousness.
You are, in a sense, giving yourself a different perspective, one that allows you an overview of physical reality. In your terms, it will be like standing on top of the hill, and being able to see all of the inhabitants of the valley, whereas the valley is restricted in a sense to simply viewing the valley, and not what is on the other side of the hill. But both the hill and the valley are part of life, and there is an exuberance in being on top of a hill, but not in a judgmental sense. Simply that you can feel the wind, the wind of your own consciousness, and you can see in which direction it flows more easily, ’tis simply a shifting perspective, very simple. What do you think?
Q: What do I think? I think that was a terrific answer.
B: Oh no, no! Not what do you think about what I think – what do you think? “What do I think, little insignificant me, compared to your grand majesty?”
Q: That’s a very great Indian accent. You really want to know? Okay, I’ll tell you.
B: No!
Q: Okay.
B: Yes. Rather I would say: what do you feel?
Q: Okay, I’d like to share that with you.
B: Thank you. I knew that would…
Q: In the work that I do very often I get a clear sense of entities which have supposedly passed from the body. They are very much present, and very much wanting to share information with the people that come to me. So my sense was that there is definitely existence beyond the body, and it’s nice to hear it confirmed.
B: Realize, first of all, that the body and the spirit are really simply different manifestations of the same energy. It is simply a projection of the soul in material form, in a sense. Not that your soul has arms and legs, as it needs none; but it is a projection of an idea, projection of consciousness.
Now, one of the situations – which you call problems – that many of your individuals create within their body, in disease, is simply that they consider the physical form to be separate and less than the spiritual form. And as such, your body very obediently becomes less. When you understand yourself as an integrated being, and that spirit and body are one and the same idea, simply from different perspectives, then your body will reflect the absolute perfection of that spirit and never be dis-eased. Question.
Q: When you say, “dis-eased“ are you saying that in the sense of sickness?
B: Yes. Dis-ease is all that disease really is. Question.
Q: I have a client of mine who has a dis-ease of being very allergic. She is allergic to everything – almost everything – and she has to taste food. I’ll make sprouts for her, or I’ll bring her some food and she tastes it and she has a reaction to it; it makes her sick. What can I do to help this person?
B: All right. First of all allow me to say a few things. Realize that many individuals have chosen certain diseases, and will remain within those diseases for the entirety of their physical life, because it will for them express an idea which they are wishing to learn, to fulfill a viewpoint about themselves. Therefore, they will never allow themselves to rid themselves of their disease. It will be all right.
I will say, however, that you may find that, for the most part, it will be a reflection of having bought into certain belief systems when those individuals were within their childhood state. And bought into ideas and beliefs which allow them now to view themselves as being very fragile, being tossed around by the wind, hither and yon, to and fro, as you say. And needing to be, I’ll say, sympathized.
Now realize that though we share many ideas with you, one idea, which we do not believe in, is the idea of sympathy. To us that is the most destructive thing we can do for you. We choose to simply allow you to be expressing a portion of your overall consciousness, and allow ourselves to send you the vibration that you can, if you wish, change your belief. Give yourself choice, not remain focused in the disease by reinforcing that disease with the energy of sympathy.
Q: Mhmm. Right.
B: Therefore, the first step will be to become unsympathetic. Now, you will find that many of your individuals will consider this to be emotionally cold.
Q: I believe that. I believe that no sympathy should be given, because then they would enforce that sickness.
B: All right. Rather you may simply express creative compassion for those individuals. Allow them to feel their own creative compassion for themselves. Allow them to realize that they can achieve whatever they need to achieve by allowing themselves a fuller sense of self. By realizing that when they believe themselves to be less than the elements of nature around them, separate from the elements of nature, less worthy of existence than nature itself has decreed that you should be, then their body will react that way.
Q: Right.
B: Do you follow me?
Q: Yes, definitely. Question.
Q: Does that have to do with weight? Overweight?
B: In a sense.
Q: What else? Can you go on a little bit about that?
B: You will find that many individuals will simply, rather than doing, they will wait. Do you follow the analogy?
Q: I’m mulling it around.
B: All right. Don’t wait too long.
Q: Because I had put it on – like, in a month, I put on 20 pounds – and haven’t been able to take it off.
B: Because you are trying to?
Q: Well, I had a physical problem; I’ve been working on getting a physical problem…
B: A physical what?
Q: Kidney – my liver.
B: A physical what?
Q: Problem.
B: What?
Q: Situation.
B: Thank you. Realize that if you allow yourself to really feel the change in that vocabulary, you will feel the change in the vibration, which the word symbolizes. If you allow yourself to feel the change in vibration, you will allow yourself to become that vibration. Not a problem. “Problem. A situation. Oh, situation! An experience. Experience is doing, doing, doing. Therefore, I will do something else.”
Once again, realize that ‘tis to a degree – although there may be reasons for it in terms of your overall understanding of what you feel you should teach yourself about yourself in your lifetime – for the most part, I will say, ‘tis simply that you can show yourself that all you need is to be willing to live. You do not need to wait to do anything.
You may simply do whatever you will; everything is valid. Realize that what excites you the most is the most valid thing you can do. And when you are very excited, and always in motion, you will do very little “waiting.” As a matter of fact, you will be quite weightless (wait-less).
Q: Thank you very much.
B: Thank you.
