ANOTHER KNOTTY LITTLE PROBLEM about birthing Meta-Humans is "containment." How does a creator pick and choose which aspects of divinity go well with certain key aspects of human nature? How do we keep from getting too powerful, too soon - from blowing ourselves up, like those blokes in Atlantis or Lemuria? A lot of it dwells in the "dark/light" balance within a person.

As the Reconnections put it, in their transmission titled The Dark Forces in the Coming Transformation:

Keeping an Aspect of God in Limitation is no easy task. There must be an elaborate and creative configuration of mazes and diversions presented to the mind, in sequential fashion, to provide re-direction of focus and keep your mind busy until the completion of a journey into Separation. To facilitate this, there are beings whose job it is to "stand guard" over your 3D Consciousness, deflecting it from anything or anyone who would provide information that could "bring you on" too soon (into full awareness), and prematurely end your Game.

These beings, who are oft referred to as "The Dark Forces," are contracted by you, in advance, to serve this purpose. The image of them as sinister demons with flashing red eyes only serves to increase their effectiveness. In fact, they are very light (in terms of density) and service-oriented beings who are are assigned to you, as Guides - even as "Light Forces" relate to you as Guides when it is time to bring you Home.

The scenarios and images which represent one group as wearing dark hats and the other as wearing white hats is illusion, designed to increase the fun and effectiveness of your Game. All beings are made from the same essential "stuff" which is liquid, potentiated All That Is. As has been mentioned previously - any appearance of horror, emotional obsession, possession, and/or demonic harassment are merely "special effects," interpreted through the grid of a lower-density consciousness. Many of these effects are incredible! They work! That is why you choose to enlist them.

Something Hidden, From Birth
Have you ever noticed how many movies there are about people who have a heritage of greatness which has been totally hidden from them? One of the most notable would be Luke Skywalker, in the Star Wars movies. He was the son of a Queen (Amidala), and a wayward Jedi Knight (Darth Vader). He had dark connections and extremely light ones, too. Therein dwelt his power. His job was to "bring balance to the Force." At the beginning of the movie, Luke had no idea who his parents where, nor did he fully understand how or why he ended up being raised by a simple farmer (Uncle Owen), when his deepest desire was to be a Star Pilot and an Adventurer.

It seems there is benefit found in forgetfulness, at least during the brief time a Meta-Human is growing to adulthood. And "wunderkind" often seem to be raised by Aunt's, Uncles, or Grand Parents. Look at Harry Potter, for example. Or Superman. Or, how about the plot development behind The Da Vinci Code? How could little Sophie Neveau ever dream of who she really was, based on what she was told when she was as a child? And what about Myles Falworth, in the 1954 classic The Black Shield of Falworth, starring Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh? Raised as a peasant, plucky as a young ram, Myles proves early-on the hidden power that always lies dormant in those who are of "noble" blood. His ultimate quest becomes to clear his father's name and reclaim his family's lands and reputation. Indeed, it does seem that the "cream" always rises to the top, no matter what forces are aligned against it. Even though we're just talking about movies here, movies have always symbolized "Dreams of the Mass Mind," or the unconscious patterns of remembrance which are currently moving through our Collective Soul.

Something Felt, Deep Inside
No matter how they are raised, or who they are raised by, Meta-Humans seem to carry a sense, way down deep, that they have something special to do here on Earth. Nearly all of them move towards a "quest," no matter what others say about them. Those who haven't built up enough remembrance to imagine divinity in themselves will often have complete strangers come up to them, as children, and declare who and what they are.

One young Star Girl shared just such an experience with me, as I was interviewing her for Conversations With Star Kids:

I was born on Jan. 1, 1974. Both parents were born in 1953, both highly intellectual and spiritual. My Dad believes that all '53ers are Star Children (I have yet to explain to him about Star Elders) and Mom thinks she's an alien. She had no morning sickness, stretch marks or labor pains and was actually sleeping when I was born. I'm her only child, and my Dad's eldest. They only stayed together long enough to make me.

Neither parent has been very vocal about what they know so my life has truly been a solo search for self. I have always been unique but not so much that I was not a popular person. Lately, I have been told I talk to people more as a Counselor than a friend. I have an all-knowing look and personality so people usually come to me for support, but I actually don't know anything. At 19, a large mole appeared on my forehead right between the eyebrows. People call it my third eye.

At 15, while walking with some friends a stern faced woman I'd never seen before came up to me and said: Don't follow your friends. I like to talk to God and you're the chosen one. Of course, I thought she was crazy. Based on this and other life experiences, I believe I may be chosen by God to serve a specific purpose but I also feel that I may be clinically insane and that may be the cause of my delusions of grandeur. I'm turning 30 in a few weeks and have never been in a more confused state. I have a hard time dealing with emotions and even the basics of expressing myself.

I don't know, my friends. Does this young woman appear to have trouble with expression? I don't see any. To my ears, she's singing like a bird. But she is talking about things that generally have no place in our everyday "normal" world. This is the part that makes her feel insane. From my view, a diagnosis of "insane" simply means: "I don't understand what is going on with you." It has more to do with society than it has to do with the person involved.

Jesus used to say: "I must be about my Father's business." And so it seems to be with Meta-Humans. When I first read those words in the Bible, I found myself constantly looking up... trying to locate this "Father" Jesus was always talking about. Now I find that looking inward is where we find the Divine Father/Mother Aspect. The "Outer World" is simply a dim reflection of vast "Inner Worlds"; which we are. We each create our own experience, though we frequently project some of that authority out, so we don't have to carry it all ourselves. Imagine the confusion the Jews felt when Jesus said one day: "I and the Father are One" They nearly stoned him to death. No wonder Meta-Humans tend to keep a low profile.

Something Visible, To Those With Eyes To See
One of my favorite insights from the series Meeting Your Inner Genius is found in these words, which seem quite applicable to Meta-Humans as we discuss them now:

No one is more fascinating to watch, and therefore more influential, than a person who moves from a place of absolute focus. He has no thought about how he appears, and he is completely relaxed in the joy of his moment. For such a person, the rest of the world seems to go away, and all that exists for him is the task at hand. Such purity of interest and awareness frames itself with a corona of honor and power, regardless of what is transpiring within it. It is just such moments that are a photographer's dream - expressions of natural genius, which set the painter's brush in motion and drive the poet's pen to the page.

Such pristine clarity goes on all around us everyday. As many hurry to complete their list of assigned goals and daily tasks, the world is unfolding with such wonder and majesty that many of us could barely contain ourselves if we actually noticed it. I would suggest to you that a primary essence of genius is found in one's ability to notice what others tend to miss.

It often seems that the experience of such genius can often be a solitary one. Being the only one who notices can create quite an advantage. But it can also be a burden as well. Trying to share a vision with those who can't or won't see it can be heartbreaking at times. Many geniuses are not recognized until long after their death. Some go insane, while others simply remain in poverty and obscurity, until some historian finds their work and makes it known.

There is a difference between "personal genius" and "public genius." The former is a blessing that can be the heritage of anyone who cares to reach for it. The latter comes and goes, at the whim of society. In truth, public genius has more to do with society's immediate need for a hero, than with the person who is being honored.

Many people balk when I use the term "genius," especially if I am applying it to them. "What? ME? A Genius? No way!" But I am convinced that, hidden within every person there is a Wizard, waiting to step forth. I think of this aspect as the "Genie in us." All we have to do is make a wish, rub the bottle, and out he comes. But how do we do this?

It feels to me that one primary hindrance is our tendency to look to the outside world for validation or permission, rather than relying upon our own feelings and bodily sense of things. Many are afraid to be "bewitched" by something or someone. We fear passion and power. We also fear excitement, if it doesn't seem to conform to what's accepted as the "norm."

Folks used to capture and burn "witches." These women (usually healers and shamans) were doing unfamiliar things that society did not understand. There is an old saying that goes: "You can always tell the pioneers. They're the ones with the arrows in their back." Being a genius can be a harsh experience. It can also be the closest thing to heaven. What we need today is to stop looking for witches to burn and start paying attention to what truly sets each of us on fire.

What You See Is What You Be
There are many who admire those who shun the approval of the world, minding only those things which feel important to them. Everyone loves a hero. But actually following through on some of those inner impulses is what truly differentiates mere mortals from those Pearls of Divinity who are incarnating now upon the planet. In one of my articles I refer to them as "Children of Oneness." When I look at them from another angle, I call them "Neo-Shamans of the New Millenium." Names and Labels are helpful in some cases, but a hindrance in others. What really matters is soul essence, and the power that is channeled through the lives of these Glorious Ones who are now beginning to dwell in our midst.

Truthfully... here's the bottom line about Meta-Humans. It takes one to know one. Without ties to the "divine side" of Human Beingness, there wouldn't even be an interest in having this conversation. The very core of "enlightenment" is contained in a very few lines: "The world is my mirror." What you see is what you be. Most of the quotes about Jesus are translated "Believe IN me." I have a sense that the early translators may have been unnecessary biased in their interpretation. What if Jesus really meant: "Believe AS me?" "Believe about yourself what I believe about myself, and all things shall be given unto you."

Can we handle that yet? Can we truly lay claim to such a truth about ourselves? We've already waded through 2000 years of religion, trying to run away from this truth. Are we ready now for some realization? There are those among us who not only will come to believe all this, but will actually embody it, through a practice and display of various "powers" and gifts. Next month, we'll explore that in more depth. Spring is nearly upon us. Have a wonderful March.
