This is the text of the first session held in SLC Chat room on the "Balance and the 4-Inch Beam" series.

Sheer_Traveler : so we wanna talkee-talk about balance, eh?

crystaljourney1 : yes sheer please

faceonmars9 : sure sure

Sheer_Traveler : We're talking about - balance - here. some folks think that - enlightenment --- comes with a price. It does. Sometimes the price - is --- that " ice cream doesn't taste like it used ta anymore." Sometimes - the price is that you don't hear the sad songs - as sad ones - any more. it is the way the Wurld is Viewed. When ya Tap - and come back from the Other side....things are different. It ain't like they moved the building or anything....it's like you don't care where the buildings are any more. Or - the "caring" is at a different level, and you cannot describe that level ---- to those still tasting the ice cream.

Folks sometimes say to me ---"I wish I could communicate with uncle Fred"....and I say --- why not do it now? Today?

This afternoon? And of course they look at me as if I'm crazy…and I say - oh, I'm not crazy; I just don't taste the ice cream any more, or care where the buildings are.

Even if you don't have a Clew that the Deadies are right next to ya, listening; waiting, and wondering. Unless of course they are Busy - and alot of them are so busy J When I'm in Sheer panty hose mode --- I have a few Visitors that like ta tease your tities, with wordsmith and the occasional Bunkai.

BAM. Now that stick in the mud Kellog - fart blossom, he's too tight, tied tight. but that's ok - someone hasta watch the barn door. Me- I'm busy laying the manure that ya all smell and step in - and say ---- "OH - that is what he means, that's so Simple!"

Yada yada; but balance --- that is such the Cool topic. So I had ta butt in and do it.

I'm a-gonna lay it open fer ya - nice and simple like. All this yella brick road yada and protocol yada; that's ok and needed and oh so fun ta Womp ya with. But mosta ya get it stuck in your craw - or your throat - or your fanny. Either way - ya don't Grasp it - so we need to make it Fine and Simple for ya. Then ya can get back to the Creed-o and the Yell-o road and that nacho nacho as in cheese.

Balance.

If ya have read the Creed ---- ya probably have a question or two; and that's fine. Question everything; question it again and again. Don't stop to assume - or employ fancy little hand -me-downs from your pastor priest, or anyone who hasn't wandered out into the realm of the scary and desolate, and come back again.

Ya gotta get down and dirty - to earn those Wings. Angels are White --- only after they clean up.

Balance.

It is the secret of the ages.....that above everything else that you seek or desire or search for in this life - what you need First ---- when ya get into the next life - is balance. After you croak, If ya don't have it - ya go to a nice quiet place, and find it. Ya do that first thing, your first thing ta do on the Agenda. All your friends and relatives and enemies - or whoever gives a hooey about you in the Next Realm....are all there to cheer you on - or lend a hand...or simply stand near you - while you learn this simple step -

all..

by...

yourself.

Ya gotta have balance - in your mind's eye. This "thing" that everyone has a different word for. Spirit; Soul; ID. Call it Ethel, I don't care.

The "It" is you…your essence. It is your perception of everything - with you at center. And when ya get over the Crack --- and ya come through the white light - and get to that cool garden where everyone is....it is the FIRST thing you address. Because you realize - that you "See" and "hear" and View" - things .....much differently than ya ever used to.

For those folks that are Really out of balance…death is not quite like I described above. They really do start out in a quiet place, depending on their spirit. Whether they suicided or died in anger - or died doing malicious things; they go to a "scene" - where this last action or feeling is prevalent.

And they continue in that pattern...until their "soul" or spirit - or their "Ethel" realizes where they are and how they came to "feel" this way. And the training - then - continues.

There are zillions of folks locked in this struggle; not knowing they are dead, thinking they are still "alive"; and reliving their last sessions of pain, or anger, or guilt - especially the suicides. This is the essence of why you all need balance. Not for this life ---- although I would strongly suggest you need it here too.

The real need is after your a Deadie, that is when it Really counts; cuz whatever thought pattern you lived by - you are now "dead" by - until you grasp the ability to change and control it. For alot of folks ---- this is not that difficult; and they don't realize the ease that they move thru this phase, because they lived a life that was not filled with violence or anger - or the rage and apathy of suicide.

Balance comes much easier to those who have used this life as a balance beam. They may not have been Sky Travelers - astraling wherever they want - but they wont have the struggle of learning what balance is --- on the other side. This is because they gained a semblance of it --- here. So when they Pass ----- their spirit can more easily handle the transition and the new ideas - and new realities.

It's all about accepting new and fantastic perceptions, where your thought - is action; no hesitation. It's NOW. What you think - or feel - is NOW. This is what it is like to be a Deadie; they have a different reality, and can see "time" differently - due to their ability to bend the perception, they are not bound by the bubble - they are outside it.

So - why balance? If ya still don't have a clew, even after what I said about the Deadies...I'll give ya one more new thing ta chew on. Astral isn't the All-ending Heaven everyone wants ya to think it is. There are Other places beyond it. Ya cant even start ta get there - until you're Balanced; until you have Balance over your perceptions.

Most folks are so happy to die and see Uncle Fred - they don't try to move on, and that's cool; but there are folks there (in the Next realm) you'll meet, asking you if you are satisfied with your "new" life; and you'll think them crazy, just like you do - in this life.

It's the circle; astral has alot in common with this Wurld. Your thought patterns will still control you, wherever you go, however you go. Balance - is everything.

It is the 4-inch beam, in the middle of forever; in the middle of NO-where, in the air…and you are spirit - wondering what more there is....and someone new and fantastic appears to you...and being calm, you accept this new image - (being in astral and balanced). And instead of fashioning a face over the image, you attempt to allow "sight" to See what this energy Really looks like.

And you discover that you can't. And at that point, you realize - there is something More. That point ---- is the Real reason ya want balance; not for this place. Not even for when ya become a Deadie.

It's for when you get the inkling that there is Really something more. Vastly more - like you cant imagine, let alone put into puny words in SLC.

It is the 4-inch beam, across your mind's eye. And at that point, in your mind, you will cry. And if you have been astraling, and reached that point - and realized you aren't balanced enuf yet, you come back crying, right out of sleep; crying - sad; and you don't know quite why…and then the sadness (emotion) fades, but not the image; it remains a tangible memory. If your balanced - here - you handle it with aplomb.

Cuz ya have to. It's part of your protocol with the Wurld. Ya now know - that there are tougher and wiser and BRIGHTER - things out there, beyond the 4-inch beam across your minds' eye; and ya wanna get back there. But first, ya gotta finish up this life-thing your signed up for.

And the shine and the polish - and the taste of the ice cream, just ain't the same, any more; cuz you touched the SKY - and found a doorknob.

Balance. it is everything - ya need; And nothing you will have completely - for a long time. If you can nothing else - in this jerkoff session tonight…understand that balance defines you; Every day, and all days, forever. As balanced as you are - will define your goals - your actions - your progress.

greeneyessmiling : (((((((((sheer traveler perfect ty))))))))))))

Sheer_Traveler :

ya all got three things ta do - in this life.

Kellog_bluff : 1) experience free will; 2) understand that balance is the key to growth, whatever kind of growth ya want; and 3) realize that you are More ---and that you are here to Remember.

Those 3 things; that's it in a nutshell.

BAM!

Sheer_Traveler : _end of line_
