38. Upgrading Charlie

I want people to know what I know and I want to know more! My basic attitude is "Don't they realize the person I think I am?" I do not want to pretend myself beyond my awareness level but it is my belief that I remember bits of two extraordinary past lives. I've also been told by a group of non-physical entities (I have it on official Abraham-Hicks public session tapes) that I am currently a member of their clan while (whew) simultaneously hacking around as Charlie.

It's also my belief that I am supposed to upgrade folks by showing them what I know. My experience indicates that you absolutely cannot force anyone to learn. You can only help them teach themselves, that's all. So, if I am interested in "upgrading" anyone else it comes down to me upgrading myself to the point where they want to be like me. Fair enough, everyone wins that way. A bonus to this is that I'm not even trying to force anyone to listen. If folks are attracted to me then it is their choice, not mine. My big gripe with belief systems (religions) is that they already have figured out one's spiritual path. And that is simply impossible. For all you know anyone might be providing some necessary contrast for the rest of us. Or our mistakes might show someone else something. It's just technically impossible to know another's spiritual path.

I consider an appropriate upgrade for Charlie to be the state of exteriorization. I want to be exterior (separate from my body) and be able to demonstrate that state. I have been exterior twice for a couple of hours and a few times (while playing music) for much briefer times. I want that glorious freedom, power and joy to be stable and permanent.

The techniques of exteriorization that I know about include wipeout hallucinogens and stimulants (boo), the Scientology religion claims (buried in contradictions and brainwashing), and the Sedona Method (pricey workshops in Arizona). There is the quasi-religious AA (excellent but very long program), mainstream religions and various cults (inevitably demanding your faith in their belief systems), requesting "aura" cleansing directly from angels and fairies (c'mon fairies!) and purchasing "aura cleansing" from adepts and psychics (a subtle guilt and control trap). I do recommend the tried and true Transcendental Meditation (TM) but only as a mind relaxant, not as a way to become exterior.

Now it just might be that I already have the teacher I need. I just might be married to her. Our civil law says that mismatches in marriage personalities are sometimes irreconcilable and I'm ok with that. The mismatches in the marriage of Lizzie and Charlie are very pronounced and (almost always) hilarious. But because of our many past life associations we feel strongly that we should stay together. Enter (Byron) Katie's oft-repeated observation "The teacher you need is the person you're living with. Are you listening?" and for me, that statement might just have extra meaning.

Ok, I'm listening and Lizzie is the teacher I need. All I get, so far is that she is extremely feminine and has a growing ability in communicating with animals. Maybe my desire to be (and stay) exterior lies in figuring out how she does it...

Liz has trained for this activity in out-of-state weekend seminars, invited semi-famous instructors to conduct seminars at our house, read voluminously on this subject and regularly requests critiques from other communicators.

What I know so far is that when she intends to do it, the animal (sometimes a swarm of insects!) agrees to listen and return communications. They are usually delighted to be able to do this. Rarely, they are grumpy and just ignore her. In the beginning she just 'beamed' (from what I gather is the 'heart chakra') the intention to communicate and waited until she became 'aware' of a response. When she got a coherent response she was, in the beginning, very exhilarated. Now she is much calmer about communicating and does it smoothly. She also teams up with another communicator (the multi-psychic Jane Carmody of Hopkinton, MA) to double-check some communications, especially with horses and cats who, apparently, can be very fussy and skittish.

What absolutely fascinates me is the high probability that when she is communicating she is exterior!

Communications are not verbalized but only 'intended'. Animals are contacted at a distance while she is alternately chatting with the client over the phone. The client gives her approval to proceed (otherwise Lizzie considers it an invasion of privacy) and she contacts the animal. Usually there is a topic of health or temperament of the animal that the client wants explored and explained. A three-way chitchat continues for, sometimes, an hour or more but usually under half an hour. The designated issue is usually resolved and then the animal very often initiates an unexpected topic like, "Where the hell is my favorite bowl" or "Why don't you sing to me more? I really like that".

A couple of things to note: my wife is an extremely ethical person. She is not poor and she gives away her session fees, roughly a buck a minute, to animal groups and churches. She does not advertise and all business comes from referrals. The activity brings joy to her and comfort to the clients and, especially, assistance to the animals. These, to me, are signs of a correct activity.

There is nothing physical involved! Ain't no prodding, stethoscopes, EKG's or meters, etc. involved. (Lizzie is an RN and she is familiar with trad examining techniques.) This activity, by my analysis, is a Spirit-to-Spirit communication, i.e., directly from Lizzie's spirit to the animal's spirit with nothing tangible in-between. I think one must be exterior to one's own body to 'step outside' of it and deliberately use another 'channel'.

I'm only mildly interested in becoming an animal communicator but learning how to ignore my body and coherently operate outside of it at will interests me very much. Stay tuned.
