11-17-08 An illusion?

The following communication was provided on 11/17/08. This is my 21st posting to Mark’s Corner. I strongly suggest you read the earlier postings first, preferably in chronological order. After you read my books, you may gain a greater appreciation for the material presented on these pages. Today we welcome back Bren-Ton from the star system Andromeda.

The most important thing to remember about your incarnation in this body is that your soul determined that it was in its best interest to have this experience. Furthermore, it decided that this particular time and place was an appropriate time and place in which to undertake this incarnation.

There is great value in this 3rd dimensional experience. It should not be denied. Why else would your soul undertake such a difficult experience? All experiences in this 3rd dimension are desirable, those you may decide are good, and those you may decide are not so good. They all contribute to the growth of your soul; they are all experiences that your soul craves. Do not diminish these experiences by choosing to ignore some aspect of them. That which surrounds you, the people, the setting, the climate, all are important to gain the fullness of the experience.

It is not in anyone’s best interest to dismiss aspects of this 3rd dimensional experience by saying that it is an illusion, or by choosing to focus on one part to the exclusion of others. Yes, this reality was crated by the slowing of energy into this dense material state. That was the mechanism used. It is good to keep that in mind as a mechanism of change, but as a 3rd dimensional being, do not deny the reality of any of it. What you experience as a 3rd dimensional being is very real to you in your role as a 3rd dimensional being.

Savor the fullness of this experience; do not refuse to experience its fullness by dismissing some part of it. There is great value in living a life in either the light or in the dark. From the dark you may learn that which you do not desire. From the light you may learn what you do desire. Both are of great value.

If you do not fully appreciate aspects of this material reality, how can you know what it is you wish to avoid? Someone who has experienced eating burnt food is in a better position to say that they do not wish to consume it again, than someone who has never tasted burnt food. Furthermore, it is impossible to avoid many aspects of this 3rdreality, because you are immersed in it. Better to recognize it for what it is, and experience it; then discern what you wish and what you do not wish.

For those who wish to live looking at reality through the lens of “it is just an illusion,” they are not too much different than the alcoholic who refuses to look at reality except through the bottom of a bottle. Distortion of the truth is never helpful. Those who have experienced the effects of alcohol are in a better position to say they do not wish it than those who have never experienced it. Furthermore, those who have overcome the addiction to it are stronger from that experience. At the same time, focusing on the dark aspects of your existence here is not helpful. Allowing fear to fill your being, so that it distorts your perspective is certainly not helpful.

Seeing this world though the eyes of one who loves the experience is most appropriate. Love the life you are leading. Savor these moments, each and every one of them, those that appeal to you, and those that do not. Learn from the experiences of each. Feel what it is like to love, what it feels like to fear. Learn to distinguish between the two. After you have figured this out, help your brothers and sisters to do likewise. But hurry, the hour of the transition is nearing. Soon we will make our appearance. Soon the transition of the planet to a place of greater light will be upon you.

In a planet of light, the stark choices of the darkness and the light will not be so apparent. This planet, Earth, is a unique experience. Savor it. See it for the experiences it gives you. Do not dismiss it by diminishing it as an illusion, or falling prey to drugs, alcohol, or some other diversion. Reach out for as much of the experience as possible. We, who observe you, envy your situation.

At the same time maintain an attitude of love toward all. Love your sisters and brothers whenever they may be on their path. To those who are open, show them the high road. To those who are not, allow them their path. You see the institutions of man are crumbling before your eyes. This is a marvelous moment to help everyone discern how he or she will live: in fear or in love.

I am Bren-Ton of the star system Andromeda. We will make our appearance soon and what a splash it will be, but that is for another day.

In Truth, Love and Joy,

Mark
