SO, THESE ARE the Bridge People ... neither "this" nor "that," but something in-between. This will be our final segment in this current series. Obviously, there is much more that could be said, and perhaps we will say more at some point.

The more that polarity slips away, the more folks try to cling to that which was never exclusively theirs in the first place. There is really only one of us here. An appearance of many faces, many locales, many viewpoints, yet one being inhabits them all. We realize this when we take time to go within, rather than continually taking our stimulation from without.

If we interpret the world from the outside in - it can be a terror-filled, crazy, tortuous place. People and things just seem to come at us - like ghosts, clowns, and monsters from some haunted house. Boo! Boo Who? Boo YOU, that's who!

The signs and symbols tell us: "Your world is this" and "Your world is that." And we believe them for a time, don't we? That's part of the fun. That's part of taking a Vacation in Limitation. We pay our admission fee. We climb aboard the train. And we sit back and enjoy the ride. Bridge People know this and it gives us no end of joy and amusement. We scream and holler like the rest of the folks in the fun house, but deep down ... we know. We remember.

To live life from the inside out is to turn tables on those who derive pleasure from playing upon the fears and obsessions of the human lab-rats, running in our maze. We become exceptions to their rule. A fellow comes up to us and asks: "Would you rather die by being stabbed or by being shot?" Oooooo ... decisions, decisions. Finally we answer: "I'd rather not die at all today, thank you."

Polarity seems to be about discerning "this" from "that." We are told that if we don't choose, we lose. Reconnection is about becoming ALL OF IT. All the choices have already been made. We've known this, on some level, since we were kids. We lived in homes filled with anger, suspicion, fear, and strife. Bridge People almost always do. It's how we develop our unique "gifts."

Little by little, we remember how to take on the fear. Then, we take on the strife, and we go within and harmonize it. Add a touch of hope, a sprinkle of love, and "Voila!" It seems like magic, doesn't it? Soon, our home environment begins to clear (at least for awhile). Our sense of safety increases. We do this over and over and over until it becomes second nature. There even comes a time when we aren't even aware we are doing it. Things just happen and we reach out and calm them.

The Illusion of Control
Everything is as it is because we meant for it to be that way. Not just individually, but collectively. The Ego is that part of us that has been kept in the dark about things like Soul Contracts and the Sovereignty of the Soul. He or She is like the audience in a theater, waiting for the movie to begin ... popcorn in one hand, frosty Big-Gulp in the other ... waiting, watching.

Someone once explained the word FEAR in an anagram: False Events Appearing Real. And that works, I suppose. It sounds good. We learned in an earlier segment that, in the Multiverse, there are universes which honor every thought imaginable, and then some. From that viewpoint, there is no such thing as a "false event," is there? And yet, what is it that really dwells at the heart of fear? Isn't a big part of it rooted in concerns about the loss of control?

There is nothing that happens in any part of the globe that doesn't affect every other part. What happens to one of us happens to all. Bridge People take this knowledge and run with it. They read that a particular country is mad at its neighbor because certain policies are negatively impacting its citizens. While both countries blatantly disregard the impact of certain issues on the other, Bridge People disregard nothing. Instead, they take these countries into themselves, at some level of their being, and begin working with them. Suddenly, what once represented "opposing sides" in a battle now become part of a single being. The right hand and the left hand.

Isn't this what the story of Romeo and Juliet was about?

Were these lovers "star-crossed?" Or was it simply their chosen assignment to demonstrate to the world the power love has in bridging a gap, no matter how ancient or impossible? And who had control of all this? Everyone did. Everyone always does, even though our ego separations and diversity of 3D roles may seem to differ. We are ALL represented there on that Game Board, regardless of what transpires. It's called holographic oneness. Everything and everyone is connected, at our core, all across time, everywhere.

Viewed in a separated sense, control is illusion. I don't have control over you, even if my life position appears to be stronger. You may appear weaker, in some circumstance; because we all agreed that it serves us for you to be so. This is a timeless truth that often gets lost in Limitation Role-Playing.

Jesus was a Bridge Person. He stripped himself of eternal power, came to Earth in human form, placed himself on the altar of some "authority," and lived a life of service to humanity. Prior to his death, he clearly stated: "No man takes my life from me. I lay it down of my own accord." Such is the estate of all who bear the surname Christ. The Christing is something that was not consigned to Jesus alone. All Bridge People carry this position, this title, within universes of their creation.

Bridge Societies
The term "renaissance" literally means "rebirth" or "revival." A Renaissance Man is a Hybrid - representing a full measure of the "old ways" housed alongside a healthy infusion of the "new." His life and being become a cauldron, within which all elements are stirred and blended, to the end that something wonderful may result.

King Arthur was a Christ figure for Britain. His human heritage, according to the legend, was a proper mixture of Paganism and Christianity. Had he sustained the perfect balance between these two elements, he would have forged a whole new path for humankind. As it was, his human weakness (and the weakness of those around him) created enough of a "taste" for Renaissance Unclaimed that the Legend of Camelot, with its Round Table and Gallant Knights, has become kindling for noble aspirations within every civilization it has touched.

Joan of Arc was a Christ figure for France. Not only did she wear the crossover element of gender role reversal, but she also put a new "spin" on certain gifts and abilities (clairaudience, for example) that were previously judged as evil. Indeed, midway within her life itinerary, humanity was unclear as to what we thought about her ... so she was killed. Later, she was canonized as a saint.

This New Age in which we live has taken on the role of "Christ" for the current waves of awakening humankind. Rather than designating one man or woman as carrier for this sacred mantle, it is being laid upon the shoulders of All. For some, this results in the development of "Messianic Delusion" that later becomes a monkey on their back. Assuming that our current infusions of energy are meant to follow previous patterns of development, these hapless beings choose to "take the hit" personally, rather than ceremonially placing it on the shoulders of Collective Humankind. Enough saints, legends, and avatars have died in the name of Human Enlightenment. Now is the time when everyone can choose to LIVE under that same name.

The year 1987 was called "The Harmonic Convergence." Certain Universal Tones - such as Form and Chaos - began to merge into One Contiguous Tone, opening doorways of expansion never known before. This change is taking place on all levels, though only a few of them may be visible to the naked eye.

In their first transmission to me, back in 1991, the Reconnections put it this way:

Being Hybrid makes any entity stronger - providing that the mixing and blending is being done for a holistic purpose, rather than individuated subterfuge. Purity has its beauty, but real strength is found in the intertwining that occurs between "this" and "that" ... the healthy blending of old and new. "Adapt or Die" is an ancient saying which carries a strong measure of profundity for those whose minds are attuned to survival and proliferation on the Earth.

As we move closer and closer to a Planetary Oneself - our collective consciousness ripens. Someone once said: "As the individual becomes more collective - the collective becomes more individual." When we learn to see our reflection in ALL MEN, by way of imagination, intuition, and metaphoric discernment - our understanding deepens and becomes grounded in eternity.

As God said of that powerful generation that set itself to the task of building a Tower which dared to reach all the way to Heaven: "Behold ... the people are ONE, and they have all the same language. And this they begin to do. Now nothing will be restrained from them which they imagine to do." In short, He said: "Wait just a minute, guys." And that "minute," it seems, has lasted many thousands of years.

Now. Now is the time. All the wheels are in motion. The signs and symbols gather - in their appointed places, and at their appointed times. From Harmonic Convergence to Harmonic Concordance, the energy spins and changes. On and on it goes... faster and faster.

We, together, are becoming the one who can make happen what has never happened before. One language, one speech ... not in dialect, but in a threefold merge of form, function, and feeling. A Golden Mean for a Golden Age. And nothing will be restrained from us, which we (all) imagine to do. So be it.

This concludes Daniel Jacob's six-part series, The Bridge People. Thank you for joining us!
