The Change-over from Negative to Positive

The Change-over from Negative to Positive

By Steve Beckow

Posted on May 18, 2024

As I emerge, ascend, and integrate, I find myself navigating the change-over from negative (the troll under the bridge) to positive.

Let me say a word about “being positive” at the get-go.

I’m aware of the objections to “being positive.” I was there myself. I postponed making a needed transition in my life for decades out of not wanting to “be positive.”

One is that “being positive” as a rule flies in the face of reality. We live in a world where negativity exists, where a large percent of the population lives below the poverty line, many homeless, many without access to clean drinking water, etc.

There’s nothing positive about these conditions to those who have to endure them. And being positive in the face of it seems insensitive, self-focused.

Moreover, if we look more generally, I think we’ll see that, if we mandate any line of behavior, we run into trouble with the exceptions. If the exceptions are major, we talk about being abused, oppressed, and exploited.

Werner Erhard warned against taking a side like “the positive.” If we decide ahead of time how we’ll be, no matter how it is, we’ve “de-cided” the matter. We have, linguistically speaking, “killed the alternative.” Transformation usually does not show up in a closed space.

Another objection: In social discourse we talk about positive people as “Pollyannas,” folks who were always looking on the bright side of life, implying naive people or a degree of empty-headedness or compliance.

Now of course I get to see that the Pollyannas take the prize. I’m now aware that they were pioneers who were often unfairly disparaged, fuelled by a source I knew nothing of.

That having been said, I’d like to discuss Monday a very simple conceptual adjustment or tool to help us make the change-over if we – staring the Reval in the face – are needing to do so.

Applied Spirituality: Taking a Stand

Applied Spirituality: Taking a Stand

Posted on January 9, 2024

The animals are said to be ahead of us in already feeling the love

This time is shaping up to be, not so much one in which we study and absorb, but one in which we apply what we’ve learned of and from spirituality, wherever there is social chaos. This may be a time of applied spirituality.

How do we do that? Let me make some suggestions if you would.

We’ve all heard stories of a mother saving her child by lifting a car off it.

We’ve all been in emergency situations where someone has taken a commanding role. And we’ve welcomed it.

They’re accessing faculties which lie dormant but are blanketed over by such things as lethargy, self-doubt, resentment, malintention, or simple ignorance.

Whatever holds us back, when we break free of it, we used to say, in growth work, we “showed up,” “arrived,” or “called ourselves forth.”

What arrives is at least what Eric Berne called our “Adult” consciousness state; in some instances, our “Higher Self.”  (1)

***

Speaking only for me, I’m telling myself that we’re facing a bad scenario (takedown of the cabal) that’s about to get worse for longer than I previously expected.

Thus, when we think about what to do in a bad situation that’s about to get worse for longer than we expected, we can choose to remain the victim of that circumstance. We can grouse and complain.

Or we can use the impetus of the occasion to arrive, show up, make an appearance, so to speak.

In other articles, I’ve talked about what Werner Erhard called “presencing the Self.” I’ve created a list of a number of the ways I’ve seen this done or have done it myself.

Let me introduce that list here as suggestions on how we can show up in response to our situation:

(1) Tell the truth, compassionately, including sharing all withholds.

(2) Make a difference in someone’s life.

(3) Be with our experience until the truth reveals itself.

(4) Process our vasanas and conditioned behavior.

(5) Make a declaration, a promise, a commitment.

(6) Take a stand.

(7) Complete something.

(8) Breathe up the love from our heart and come into the interaction from that.  (2)

What’s common to all of these is that the action frees us from something that’s holding us back. We’re free from a withhold. We’ve completed a traumatic memory. We’ve let go of an ancient grudge by forgiving someone. We’ve lightened our load. We’ve en-lighten-ed ourself.

Drawing from that list, in this era of toxic vaccines and other attempts to “depopulate” the globe (i.e., murder us), the one way that I find myself feeling most drawn to is to taking a stand. Yes to this; no to that.

No to child trafficking.  No to toxic vaccines. No to chemtrails. No to directed energy weapons. No to 5G. No to smart cities. And so on.

A stand is what we say it is. It needs a “by when” to effectively orchestrate whatever results.

My stand is that all evil-doing on Earth will end within five years. I’ve been unrealistic in my time estimates in the past, and I now want to estimate with an eye to whatever of reality I’m aware of.

I think five years is realistic figure, although it may turn out not to be. It counts on a modicum of star-family help in preventing Illuminati-induced global disasters. (3)

It sounds as if we’re going to start into the storm on a more public level very soon. (4) If so, my stand is that we do whatever we need to do to cross the finish line together.

Taking a stand calls forth the Adult, in some instances all the way to the Higher Self. And this is just one tool to remain present and of service in the troublesome times ahead.
