Revisiting
some of the 1100+ questions that
have been
asked at past Shouds.
Pain
Divine Human Series, Shoud 1, 2002
QUESTION:
Tobias, could you explain the role of pain and suffering
on this path, and how we might minimize it, in a sense,
not get the headache from this headache energy?
TOBIAS:
The role of pain and suffering is tied directly into
duality. It is part of the balance of positive and negative
you've given yourself. Pain can be a wonderful thing.
It teaches you many lessons. It helps you guide yourself
through life. If you did not have pain, and you did
not have emotional suffering, you would not have a depth
of experience.
Now,
many humans try to eliminate pain and eliminate suffering.
What they try to do is put a blanket over it. They try
to stamp it out. Some try to do it with the drugs we
have spoken of that we do not so much appreciate (psychotropic
drugs). Indeed, you will greatly reduce the level of
your pain, but you will also greatly reduce the level
of your experience. Pain is only painful when it lands
on a friction within you, a resistance within you.
When
pain comes to you, whether it is physical or emotional,
do not try to run from it, or stamp it out. Once again,
ask that energy why it is visiting you. It will tell
you something. It will give you an enlightenment and
an understanding that is valuable.
Now,
we have also said that pain, or what you call "the
lows," are an important part of the natural cycle.
These periods of emotional depression, or physical disease,
or discomfort, provide a momentum and an energy that
helps you move forward to the next new level of enlightenment.
When
you reach a certain point on your path, the pain and
the suffering will not affect you like it did before.
There is less resistance within your being. As you told
yourself today in the Shoud, you accept all aspects,
light and dark. When you accept all aspects, there is
no internal friction for the pain to fall upon. It's
not that you will be without pain, but it will give
you a new sensation. It will not be so painful! In a
sense, it will be just a different form of energy coming
to you that you can then utilize on your path.
Also,
as you come into a greater understanding of things you
will not be in so much pain. You will understand how
to rebalance your physical body. You will understand
how to rebalance your emotion. But know that pain and
suffering are all part of the learning experience.
Pain
served you well in the past. Understand that now where
you're at on your path, you do not need this pain to
the degree that you have needed it before. You do not
need to choose pain and suffering, just as you do not
need to choose poverty, and you did not need to choose
the lack of love. So, don't try to hide it. Don't try
to stamp it out. But understand that it is not anything
that you need to the degree that you have had in the
past.
Local Circles
Divine Human Series, Shoud 1, 2002
QUESTION:
Tobias, my wife and I stepped off the ledge this week.
We have no fear about that. My question is this. You
touched on the Crimson Circle Local Circles around the
world. We have lots of people signing up every week.
We need to fill those homes up. Could you nudge some
of Shaumbra so that they get the same benefits from
the Local Circles that we have? That's why we feel so
comfortable doing what we're doing now. Thank you.
TOBIAS:
This, my dear friend, is your job to nudge them. That
is why you have volunteered for this position. That
is why you have developed the skill set around this,
to know how to do this. But we ask you one thing. In
your own dealings with this, think outside of the box.
You have come to understand the box very well. You have
practiced it in the past. You have helped define the
box in the past. Now, go outside. You heard yourself
say today in the Shoud that you understand the rules.
You helped to write them. Now, go outside of them.
It
is the same here. There is a need in the Local Circles
for true expression. Everyone is trying to follow old
rules, even about what times they get together, what
subjects they cover, what they do. And, quite frankly,
so many of them are bored. So many are looking for something
new. So encourage them and encourage yourself to think
outside of the box.
There
is one example that we would give here. Have them do
Shoud together. Have them put their collective selves
together. At each meeting have them trade off of who
does the Shoud for the group. There is an interesting
dynamic that happens here. It is different when one
channels an outside entity like myself. It is quite
different. When you channel, when you Shoud with the
ones who are in your group, you have to be in your truth.
You have to stand in truth when Shaumbra is channeling
Shaumbra.
There
are some humans who have interesting interpretations
when they channel outside entities. Their own heavy
filters distort the picture sometimes. We have seen
it happen so often. You could channel any of the archangels,
and sometimes the humans in the audience would not even
know if you are misinterpreting the information. They
would not even know, for instance, if you intended to
channel Michael and you ended up with some low-level
Earthbound disincarnate entity. How would they know,
other than if they were truly connected within?
But
when Shoud takes place, you cannot fool anyone. You
are speaking of them, for them, and with them. So encourage
your groups to do this type of thing. Also, encourage
your groups to have fun together.
We
enjoy this idea for this "rest stop" that
you all plan to take. Yes, you are all going on strike
for two days, and a type of "spiritual walk-out."
And, we applaud this! And then, dear friend, ask your
groups for their ideas. Ask them. And when they say,
"Well, we do not know what to do. We are not so
sure what to do with our Local Circles," ask them
to go within for the answer. It is truly there. You
have chosen a somewhat difficult task, but we know your
spirit is strong, and you are up for it.
Relationships
New Energy Series, Shoud 5, 2003
QUESTION:
Hi Tobias, it’s been a long time. My question
is about relationships. What are they going to be looking
like in this New Energy of experience and joy? And,
also specifically, what are the potentials for me in
this area?
TOBIAS:
Indeed, we could write books about this. YOU could write
books about relationships. They will be changing drastically.
Old relationships were based on two entities coming
together for fulfillment of each other, two halves coming
together to form something more complete. They were
based on a male and female archetypical energy having
to meld together.
So
many of you have gone through relationship breakups
because it was no longer appropriate for you to play
in that sandbox. So you are in a time here for a bit
of no relationship, truly waiting for a balanced partner
to come in. Now, looking across the globe at all of
humanity – how to say – there are not too
many to choose from right now. There has been a small
number that have chosen to walk into this New Energy.
However,
you don't have to limit yourself to that either. There
are many dear and wonderful souls out there who will
understand energetically that they are not here to fulfill
you and you not for them.
The
New Energy relationships will be based on total and
implicit trust. Can you imagine total and implicit honor
and compassion? It will be based on mutual respect,
and encouraging each other to soar, even if it means
that from time to time you need to be apart.
New
Energy relationships will not have the certificate of
marriage that you have seen in the past that energetically
and legally bind the people. They will be based on a
day-to-day, on true love and true honoring.
New
Energy relationships will be based on experiencing a
whole new type of sex, one that is fulfilling and gratifying
for both, one that is a sharing of energies rather than
a robbing of energies. New Energy relationships will
take place physically, but the two will be connected
energetically in a whole New way.
In
the New unions of two people – whether it is male
and female, female-female, or male and male –
this will bring in a whole different type of angel runner
energy into their relationship. Because they are working
so closely together, it allows more of us on our side
to facilitate what their New Energy passion is.
For
yourself… stop looking… no more journey
here. Understand that it is about developing of a relationship
with yourself first. That is the most holy and sacred
thing – developing the compassion within you.
And then stay open to the probabilities and the possibilities
– how to say this – it might be someone
quite a bit younger that comes into your life because
they carry a different set of energy attributes that
would be more compatible to where you are at. So, keep
your eyes wide open here. |
