Asking For Help From Higher Guidance

https://mikioku.deviantart.com

There are frequent references in the current metaphysical literature to the advisability of asking for help from higher guidance in modifying the filters or templates with which we each come into this lifetime. The suggestion that each use their own terminology, such as asking for the neutral implant, or requesting a negation of prior contracts, or petitioning encodement technicians for help with the template repairs and modifications. Can you speak to the advisability of making such requests? If this type of request is advisable, what is the best way to put it forth?

Hilarion: It is a difficult question because we cannot fully base the answer on the past. Many times in the past, when you asked to have these filters removed, you got exactly what you asked for—and you really didn’t like it. Too much too soon. Oftentimes, that is the response the world would seem to have for you, where you lose your job, your relationship and so on—all in the same day. And this as, then, a symbol that perhaps you have put those filters in place for a reason.

So, really, the best way to ask is one that would somehow observe and work with what has been learned from the past, without trying to impose it on the future. Because inevitably when, again, looking into the past we see the path of those who have come to a more evolved state (more deeply grown in their own understanding, consciousness, opportunity to help in the world), how the soul has indeed manifested and evolved as a result and so on. Moving inevitably to levels of higher and higher clarification requires stripping away the filters. You must look first, consciously and deeply, as to how ready you are for this? But, you must also recognize that there is opportunity around this, as if you were preparing another.

This is important to realize, because in the setting of the filters is the understanding of the Law of Progress: As a thing is begun so it tends to continue. So, as you have manifested these things initially so you can change them. Understanding the original intent can help you greatly as you begin to dismantle and work with these. And as a result it is usually helpful to contact your evolutionary orientor on some level. A filter technician has indeed been employed, often. There are many of these, working on many different levels, but such are often as direct communicators between you and your EO (evolutionary orientor). Such individuals are often difficult for you to contact because, after all, the deeper friendship, appreciation, respect, and so on might put them into a position, as you would perceive it, of guru, and they never will see this as valuable because it isn’t really helpful for them to tell you, ‘Do it this way’ or ‘Do it that way’—just as a good guidance counselor would never do this, instead encouraging you to ask the right questions.

So, we come therefore to what appears as leading-edge relative truth as to how best to deal with filters. We say it is leading-edge relative truth because this principle may change over time. It could indeed be possible that you would do well to ask at every level to have them all stripped away. But, by and large this appears too drastic—too harsh and, ultimately, traumatic for most people. Instead, begin developing the opportunity and availability of asking the right questions—asking your evolutionary orientor, as you fall asleep, to help you develop the right questions to be asking; to help you understand about every filter that you have brought in and why it is there. ‘Why’ is a great question. It is very open-ended. The answer can come through many means, through that which would be available to you by whatever means you make open; thus may mean that it is not intellectual but that which relates to sound or vibration or attunement in other ways. When you understand why that filter is present and have chosen another means to get to the same place—to make available to yourself that which you need to know, to understand, to work with—the filter is far less necessary. The primary action to hold it in place is that of habit pattern.

Again, as a thing is begun so it tends to continue and that helps you to understand and work with it. So, the Law of Progress inevitably shows you that you can change it, that you can release it. That you can find another way to accomplish the same thing, thus begins the journey. But, the journey ends, usually, with laughter—with the opportunity to observe that pattern, that filter from a true place of welcoming, from a place that says, ‘I was glad it was there and it served its purpose.’ And as it may return again through habit pattern you will recognize it and be able to laugh at it so it will not have to again be with you.

Now, we are speaking in generalities here because these filters can have so many different forms. But, the most obvious, all-pervasive, most resonant form, that which touches most people on your planet, is the filter of memory—the one in which your memory extends poorly into the past, where significant change in your consciousness (especially as it refers to the physical) is then employed. So, though you had a brain and you were receiving all of the information, you have very little conscious memory of your early childhood. Most people experience this because the physical body has changed so dramatically from early childhood on. This is a symbol. It is so obvious to you, when you think back to the few memories you have of childhood, that such symbolic meaning is there for a purpose. The symbol telling you that this is telling you so deeply about your past lives, your intermissive period, the energies that are so different for you because you were different physically. The very nature of your body, before you were born, was so completely different.

So as you begin to accept this filter and recognize how it has served you, you can then begin to ask the question, ‘Why?’. Why would you want to filter out some memories, perhaps, of some of the more traumatic experiences from your past lives? Given that many of you have lived, on average, 50 (perhaps 100) lives, that could be a lot of traumatic experience. Maybe, perhaps, a little too much for you to experience all at once. But trauma as experienced in the nonphysical realms can indeed be far more severe—not because of the emotional content or the physical content but because of your poor understanding of what occurred and because many times the habit patterns of such misunderstanding will be in place for a long period. When you have passed consciously out of physical existence into the intermissive that is not usually a problem. You then are quite aware that you are in the realms of the dead, and the things that you learn there and the opportunities to grow and so on come to you. But most people have had many intermissive periods where they didn’t know that they were dead. As a result they went through very long periods of darkness, struggle, and difficulty in which the habit patterns of rejection, ignorance, and difficulty in just knowing where they were and who they were quite a bit more profound than any they have experienced while being in a physical body. These intermissive periods would inevitably come back to you also as you begin to lift the filters to your past.

So, to do this gradually is helpful if, again, you are formulating the right questions. ‘Why would I wish, then, to blot out some of this memory of my last intermissive?’ Perhaps because of the guilt you experienced or other emotional issues as you viewed your last life. Or perhaps because of times in which you made mistakes of habit and pattern nature, not understanding how you had passed from this realm and the ways you had affected other people, and so on and so forth. As you begin to ask those questions and receive the various answers your evolutionary orientor and those assisting that being from all levels breathe a collective sigh of relief that you are going to enter into such a realm of releasing filters in as gentle a method but as consistently worked a method as possible.

Now, there are many ways, obviously, to answer this question. But what we are trying to establish here is the opportunity for you to do this with a great deal of questioning, of bringing in new possibilities—not doing it only as it has been done in the past. Again, here, when we observe other civilizations—those that have used death and all that it brings through these periods of coming into physical incarnation and out of it—inevitably such consciousness, as fragmented, became less and less useful and the opportunity to bridge across such energies and have full memory became more available and useful as the civilization matured.

So, here again we see that this is a temporary state, most likely, for most people, and that they will as a result increase their deeper memories. Usually this is provoked initially by the guides / helpers or your EO (Evolutionary Orientor) in the sleep state by giving you some deeper memory of a past life so that you maybe then study to see what your reaction is, to see how you can deal with it—take on this yourself instead of transferring it to them, and look in your own consciousness about how you would react to this. Don’t you think it is inevitable that you have made some mistakes in your past lives, where you have been a perpetrator? Oh, yes, victimhood is very popular these days, so you might see yourself in a past life as a victim and be able to contend with that. But don’t see that by any means as the difficult past life. Rather, the one where you were perpetrator, where you harmed others, where you struggled with the energies associated with this. This is very important for you to understand, forgive, work through, remember as a sort of test filter for the many other filters associated with this energy.

So that is one example as to how the questioning process, working with it with your guides / helpers, understanding the various modalities can be helpful. There are other filters this can of course be applied to. But inevitably every one of them, where they are difficult, will be those there are shared by other people as well. So don’t be discouraged; it is a little difficult in that you inevitably recreate those filters from time to time.
