P'taah's Message for April 2010 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Q: P'taah, you talked before about how the breath is the connecting point to the Mind of Creation.
P'taah: A connecting point.
Q: One of the connecting points. That using the breath is a very useful tool.
P'taah: It is very powerful. It is very, very powerful because everything in the physical reality is simply a metaphor for the greater reality, and breath is life for you. But the real life is Goddess-God, the Source, without which you cannot be alive. You cannot have form. You cannot have your universe, your planet. So indeed breath is your wondrous connection to Source.
Q: And I would think, going a little further with that, that breath is also a very effective way to go through fear.
P'taah: It is, because what occurs with fear is that you cut off your breath. You either hold your breath or you breathe in very shallowly which cuts you off from your own connectedness.
And you see, life is Goddess-God, which is love, which is the polarity of the fear. In a way, it is the stronger. As you would breathe into the fear, be in allowance of the fear, and wrap the fear up in the love, in the breath, then you are transforming the frequency of fear. As we say, it is swirled into the Goddessness of you and transformed into love.
Q: I like that idea of wrapping it up with the breath. Kind of embracing it in love.
P'taah: It is embracement. The first step to embracement is allowance, is it not? Most of the time when you feel the fear, what you instinctively do is to try to get rid of the feeling, to push it away. Of course it doesn't work. So, as you would breathe into the fear, as you would say, "Thank you for this opportunity to know more about love," breathe into it and wrap the breath in the embracement of the fear, that Goddessness of the breath lifts the fear and transforms it.
Q: That's a wonderful tool!
P'taah: Well, that has always been the tool, beloved.
Q: I know it, but I've always pictured it as the baby me and embracing the baby which is always been very effective, but this is nice, too.
P'taah: Indeed, but indeed that is how you embrace the baby, is it not? You breathe. That is the first step, to breathe, allow.
Q: Yes, it is amazing that you give us the basics time after time after time and then suddenly it's like you hear it for the very first time. We want to say, "P'taah, you never told us that before! Why didn't you tell us that before?" And you've probably said it 500 times.
P'taah: Oh, well, you know, it is all very wondrous that you have your moments of 'Ah-ha!' And you know, there is no time. It does not matter.
Q: I have a question that's totally off the subject and I am hesitating about whether I should ask it or not.
P'taah: Speak it forth.
Q: Is it true that we, or the ego, created the physical universe or was it created by our creator, the creator of that which is whole, that which is Christ consciousness, Buddha consciousness, Son of God, whatever you want to call it.
P'taah: We do not call it any of those things. What we call it is simply the Breath of Creation. What you understand to be your physical universe, your planet and everything that lies within it and upon it and around it. And it is not separate any more than one cell of your body is separate from another. It is not separate from the rest of physical creation in whatever dimension that is.
Q: I'm a little confused right now. So are you saying it's the Breath of Creation that created the physical universe?
P'taah: Everything, physical and non-physical.
Q: Here's my dilemma. I am reading A Course in Miracles and it seems like in this teaching that it's saying that bodies and this world that we live in here were created by the ego.
P'taah: What is the ego? Does it define what ego is?
Q: It says it's that part that isn't really separate from, but thinks it's separate from, All-That-Is.
P'taah: Do you know, beloved, that that which thinks itself separate from the All-That-Is is just another word for fear and it is not powerful.
Q: So fear did not create these bodies and this world?
P'taah: Oh, fear did not create these bodies, beloved. Do you think fear could create such a miracle?
Q: I don't know. I am very conflicted because this book has a lot of......
P'taah: Beloved, does it make sense to you?
Q: That fear could create bodies?
P'taah: Could create the miracle called life? Your bodies are no different. The bodies of the human are no different from the bodies of creatures, no different from that which is the flora. The body contains within it every element of your planet.
Q: Right.
P'taah: Does it make sense that that could be created simply by fear?
Q: Well, by the ego which has the power of... I guess that we were created in His image originally. We were created...
P'taah: Beloved, everything is created in the image of Source.
Q: Right.
P'taah: Come away from this idea that God is just a big man somewhere, because it is so limiting. And not only that, it is totally illogical. If things do not make sense then it behooves you well to simply leave it alone.
Q: That's what I usually do, but there is so much in this body of teachings that does make sense that I have set that part aside because it has never been logical to me. I've never asked you about it and I thought it would help me if I asked you about it.
P'taah: All right, so let us look at what the human body really is. In a way, it is not so different from that which is the body of dolphin or whale, that which is the body of any creature upon your planet. It is not even any different from the flora on your planet, insofar as it relies on its physical surroundings to kind of maintain itself. But the spark which creates all of the life forms in any reality, in any dimension, is always the Breath of Creation, of Source, is it not?
Q: Yes.
P'taah: We would say that this idea that ego created the human body is a thought of great limitation, and presumption, too, in a way.
Q: Well maybe I might have misinterpreted what I read, too, but yes, it doesn't make sense that it would be that way. Okay. Well I will ponder that.
P'taah: You see, beloved, you as you exist in your physicality are still not separate from Source.
Q: Right.
P'taah: And there is much in the religious teachings that suggests that you are separate because you have a human body. And, in fact, much of religion even promotes the idea of disregarding the human body or even treating it quite unkindly because it is the source of sin and beyond the Source, in a way, whereas the opposite is true. There is not one cell, not one atom or molecule that does not exist because of Source. That Sourceness is life source. Life source. Very well spoken, life source.
And so the miracle of this human body and how it works, how it maintains itself, the incredible integrity of this miracle, is a sublime picture, in a way, of Source. Not only the human body, of course, any physical body, and the same with your flora. When you see how they exist and the marvelous diversity, then indeed that is where you fall on your knees and say 'Thank you!' in the absolute joy and awe of this vibrancy, this creativity, you see. Not separate, but an expression of.
Q: Okay, then this leads me to another question that I've put on hold. If we're an expression of God and we have this ego, is not then the ego a part of God, too?
P'taah: Beloved, it is the little portion -- ego is the little portion -- that has forgotten the truth. The ego is that baby-you that you have shunned, that you have put aside, that you have run from. It is this very powerful little creature inside that believes it is separate.
Q: But does God know about that ego?
P'taah: Indeed. Call the ego 'fear', beloved, it is much easier.
Q: Okay, all right, I'll do that, so .....
P'taah: And it will give you a better perspective if you would call it fear.
Q: Yes, it does. So that which is Life Source is aware that we have this fear.
P'taah: Oh, but yes.
Q: I would think so, otherwise messengers and angels like you wouldn't be coming here to help us.
P'taah: You know, those that come forth to assist you, to, in a way, respond to your call, come forth simply to remind you of the misperceptions and the lies that you have been fed. To remind you of your grand truth -- that you are Perfect, Eternal Expressions of Source and the fear is just such a tiny portion of you that, in the moment, has forgotten that grand truth. And it is not to be 'gotten rid of', only to be embraced to transform it.
You see, all of this business of trying to 'get rid' of the ego -- you cannot get rid of it. You cannot get rid of anything. You can only embrace it and transform it into its greater truth called love.
Q: Right. Thank you, P'taah.
P'taah: Are you clear with that, beloved?
Q: I'm clear with it, but I guess I struggle because I read so much information and...
P'taah: Why?
Q: I guess because...
P'taah: Because you think you still haven't got it. You think that somebody else outside of you will give you the magic formula to make you understand that you are the Perfect, Eternal Expression of Source. And in the meantime you get caught up in all of the stories and even that which is not your greatest truth and wonder why. Beloved, all of the knowing is within you, really. You do know it.
Q: It just doesn't seem like I always have access to it. P'taah: Well, beloved, you need to stop and breathe and just allow yourself to be. You cannot have access while you are being busy, busy, busy. You need to have some time of quietude, some time to quietly say your 'thank yous' and to have a little feel around for this joy and this grand truth that you truly are.
Q: Yes, I think that you are right again. It's that connection to who I really am.
P'taah: You see, my beloved, only you can allow the connectedness. Only you can be in that place to allow it, to be in the stillness, to be in the gratitude of who you are.
Q: Wow! It's simple when you say it like that. I guess I complicate things a lot.
P'taah: Well, you know, all of you love the stories and that is all right. But where you become so involved in the stories that it leads you away from the simplicity, bring everything back to the basics, beloved. You see, bring it back to the truth. What is the most grand and powerful statement you can make for yourself?
Q: Are you asking me that?
P'taah: I am asking.
Q: The grand truth, I think it would be .....
P'taah: The most powerful statement, beloved, is "I am, in every NOW, no matter how it seems, a Perfect, Eternal Expression of Source and I give forth the thanks to this greater part of who I am, for the love that I am, for the love in my life, for the love that surrounds me, ......etc."
Q: That is powerful.
P'taah: There is nothing more than that because you are affirming and re-affirming your knowingness that you are not separate. Is it not wondrous? Are you not wondrous, beloved?
Q: Yes, I am.
P'taah: Yes, you are.
Q: Thank you, P'taah.
P'taah: And in your sovereignty and in your power, you always have the choice for love and it is simple. And when something occurs to bring up the fear, stop, breathe, and travel with the breath into the fear, to enwrap the fear, to swirl that fear into that Goddess light of your very being. And thusly you know enrapture!
Q: I love that, enrapture.
P'taah: Is that not a good one?
Q: Really good one. That was a fun one.
Q: If you see a blazing light coming from this planet, P'taah, you'll know that the people reading this all tried it once.
P'taah: Ah, indeed, what bliss that would be!
All right, beloved ones, sufficient unto the time?
Q: Yes.
P'taah: We thank you both, indeed, for the joy of this communication and to all who read these words, know that each of you are eternally cradled in the heart that be I because indeed we are not separate.
Namaste.
P'taah
