Infidelity

https://www.dreamstime.com/

There's a very strong emotional charge for most of us on infidelity. Please comment on our increasing breakups in marriage today.

Hilarion: The purpose of relationship is practice for your relationship with God. It is a manifestation of this on many levels so that you may understand it and approach it and work with it in a conscious, very clear fashion. So people can get out there and write books about relationships. This is the right way to do it and this is the wrong way to do it, and even such books that can conflict, so that you are to make the choice in yourself as to how you approach God, how you understand the manifestation of God within.

Just at the moment at which you seek to understand it, suddenly it seems as if God has left you for another, and then you begin to recognize the symbols of infidelity. That in point of fact, no one leaves anybody--you're all on the planet together. You simply are seeking relationships in a new fashion.

"Oh, yes," you might say. "That's all very nice and intellectual, Hilarion, but what about the jealousy I feel? What about these powerful emotions?" Those emotions are there to liberate an energy that has been stuck within you for a long time, an energy that is not willing to trust that you have the capacity to love God and know God's love for you on all levels. Because when you have substituted the capacity of another person for such an energy, and it does suddenly disappear, it suddenly is taken away, of course you are devastated.

This is at the highest spiritual level to understand this. From our level, that's how it looks. From your level it may seem as if something else has been taken away, something that you were dependent on: your energy source, perhaps, or your source for sexual release, or your source for intimacy with someone else, of course, symbolizing intimacy with yourself or many other things. This is not to say that you should or should not feel strong emotions when infidelity shows up. But what does make sense here is to use any situation as an avenue, as a springboard, as a deeper way to create insight for yourself, to understand what the nature of this difficulty is and to see that the tremendous source of energy associated with it relates to some aspect denied within yourself.

Ultimately, it will usually come down to trust. Working out the issue of trust and other things is very difficult, because on your planet, over and over, you are getting this wonderful powerful cosmic joke--that you trusted this particular thing would happen in the future, you trusted this particular way of energy, and suddenly things changed; even those things that you considered trustworthy about yourself. Because ultimately, trust never comes from something outside. It comes from an inner being. "In God We Trust" is indeed the axiom for your money on this planet, particularly the US dollar, so that people will get the joke and stop trusting in money. Gradually you understand that the manifestation of the deepest level of trust within yourself can show you that sometimes, in spite of all the energy, all of the difficulty associated with infidelity, as the expression goes: You're better off.

This is hard to understand, you see, when you are in the throes of it. That when the difficulties come, you do not see that perhaps it is exactly what you asked for, that you wanted the relationship to transform in some way that you were ultimately more nurtured, more loved, and that is not the person to do it. That someone else will need to come along who will fulfill such a role, and only by this powerful breaking apart of what was will you be open to that. That is not always the way it must be, of course. An individual can manifest sufficient transformation, and when people are willing to do this in ways in which they are able to change many aspects of what they have denied in themselves, all kinds of new energy is available, and a powerful relationship can be reestablished almost as if a new relationship between the same two people.

However, often times, the choices that one has made unconsciously around such matters stand in the way. This is where one must go very deep into the decision-making process to ultimately decide if it is the right course or not. Most of the time, the Second Image techniques we previously suggested will be quite valuable at assisting one in making such choices. But, if you also play around with various possibilities, really feel how they are, you may ultimately come to the decision in which you recognize, you've actually already made a decision, that you did it actually quite a long time ago, and all that is happening now is that the guides, helpers, and other energies have arranged things to get you exactly what you asked for. So be careful what you ask for. Understand at the highest level of consciousness, because indeed it may occur. It just might not happen quite the way you thought.

Martial Arts

Some people believe that the martial arts can accelerate our evolution. Others, notably Dr. Vieira of the IIPC, feel that all martial arts involve violence and are thus anti-cosmoethical. Please share with us your perspective.


Hilarion: Indeed, this is true when it is understood from the highest energetic perspective that in the working with the energy in its purest form, all of those acts of violence, of aggression, of aspects of the deliberate action of some response to fear or ego will be manifested, and this can of course be cleared if one understands the energies themselves before they reach such a point.

This is the ultimate intent of all fully developed martial arts, with perhaps Aikido being that which is most further developed and able to address this issue quite directly. This is no accident that it is perhaps considered one of the least violent of true martial arts.

But in understanding and working with energies, people must have the avenue available to them that is most easy to access. Indeed, in a child or a soul that has not developed sufficient maturity to recognize energy in its purest form, the bigger issue comes up. In this world, faced with fear, faced with the potential to be hurt, faced with other people's aggression, and such, an individual not having full development of consciousness, will naturally fall into their own resonances of fear and find themselves attracted into situations where other people are feeling such a fear and wish to take advantage of such a person.

What can that person do? Yes, they may be exposed to energy directly, but their own development around such issue may not allow them to grow sufficiently to work with the energy directly. For such a being, they will sometimes be forced into martial arts for self-defense, for finding out how to do things in the world in a way that has more confidence or energy associated with it. 

Many souls will of course find that if they make the direct current or direct path to the heart of martial arts, in any of the martial arts, they will expose that powerful energy and know it directly. This is perhaps why there is such a clear relationship between Qigong, or other oriental disciplines of a pure healing nature, and martial arts, that indeed many of the great healers in areas of chi gung began in working with martial arts. And many of the Qigong masters are naturally adept at any martial art. So therefore one must see this in the larger light of where one fits into society around such issues.

There is, of course, the other side to this. So many people ingesting so many foods of toxic nature, meaning specifically fats and oils heated past 104F (that is 40C), that the mobilization of these through the lymphatic system by regular exercise is absolutely necessary for their own health. If they don't do it, they will have all kinds of problems in their physical bodies. This is why exercise is so strongly recommended for so many people.

Martial arts is generally one of the best exercise regimens, unless of course it is overemphasized in any area that hurts the body, because it tends to emphasize many of the smaller muscles in the body, looking for deeper control, looking for the underlying energy that activates the muscles. And so this is a good way of staying in good shape, and by comparison to other means of activating, exercising the physical body, it is perhaps more exciting, less boring, than stair-steppers or treadmills or other things that certainly have benefit but still might be that which is a little boring. 

[For more about 104 degrees F, fats and oils, and our deep need for them in our healing, see Aajonus Vonderplanitz' revolutionary book, We Want To Live.] 

So the real question as one goes deeper into this is one of suitability. As one becomes more advanced and understands higher and higher vibrational levels, you will eventually put yourself to a test around such. You may find that you are in a situation where there are others who are indeed engaging in violence, perhaps against someone else but not against you.

You could in that moment leave the situation, but if you understand enough about energy, you can ask yourself that question, "Might I be able to correct the situation, to help all of those involved?" This is a very difficult situation, of course, because you would have to apply your help equally to the aggressors as to the victim in such a situation, and this means a very difficult perspective held on your part that nobody is wrong, that they are simply doing that which comes naturally, doing that which is best to them, and that which might ultimately cause a great deal of harm for all involved.

So, for you to step into such a situation with sufficient energy to make a difference, you can see this as a true test of your own enlightened perspective. This will be the question we would ask of anyone who is involved in energy work. Is this possible for your being, for your nature? It is one of the essence ideas of energy that the highest martial arts teachers continue to share, many of these from the nonphysical levels. It is one of the important lessons of your interaction with violent, and in many cases misguided beings when you project your consciousness; when you find yourself in a dream or a projection situation where another being is doing something that is quite uncomfortable or difficult for you. It is so interesting to notice that if you engage in fighting with such a being, it only tends to worsen the situation. 

But, here is your practice, you see, because the stakes are not physical. You are not going to wake up from that with a broken nose if that being punches you in the etheric nose. And so indeed, it is your opportunity to project a powerful love, an energy that says, "I know you are capable of much more than you are simply allowing right now." Or an energy that says to that being, "I want to know more about you, why you are afraid, what is happening within your being that needs healing at this time." This is the practice that many of you may indeed be engaging in in your projections, in your consciousness, before you put this into actual practice in the physical world.
