How are you all?

All right.

All right.

All right.

Thank you once again for the co-creation of this interaction.

It is always a gift to us to experience through each of you that many more facets of the multidimensional crystal of creation. We would like to begin this transmission that is titled "The Power of Paradox" in the following way: trust, empowerment, connection, confidence, control.

These are experiences that many people on your planet have many challenges with.

But there is a way to understand these states of being so that even though when you experience ideas like "I lack trust", "I lack confidence", "I'm out of control", "I don't feel a connection" – those kinds of ideas, there are ways to understand how reality works so that you can see the or utter negative, fear-based belief system statements. In that way, there is always a way to understand how to turn them around, how to reverse them into a positive state by simply understanding the paradox that exists within statements of that kind.

For example, as we have sometimes discussed, when someone feels that they lack trust, this is actually impossible because if you are saying, "I lack trust", you're trusting that.

If you say, "I lack confidence", you're confident about that. "I am out of control", but you're controlling that experience. "I am not connected", but you have to be connected to have an experience of disconnection.

Because if you weren't connected, you would have no experience at all.

These ideas contain their own paradoxical opposites.

If you understand how reality actually works, if you understand your place within existence, you will understand that you don't have to learn to do these things.

You don't have to learn to trust.

It's built in.

It's not an issue of lacking trust.

It's an issue of trusting in lack.

You're always trusting something to be true, or again, you wouldn't have an experience of any kind. So again, when you say, "I lack confidence", you are stating a very confident idea.

You are very confident about your lack of confidence.

So the idea is when you feel those things, find yourself believing in those ideas, remind yourself that you don't have to learn to trust.

You don't have to learn to be confident.

You don't have to learn to be in control.

You don't have to learn how to be connected to reality, to the cosmos, to all that is.

You already do this.

It's automatic.

It's built into you as a reflection of creation.

You can't help it.

You just do it automatically.

Again, you wouldn't have an experience if you didn't. So the next time you hear yourself and catch yourself bemoaning the fact that you have no trust, that you have no confidence, that you have no control, that you don't feel a connection, so on and so forth, stop yourself, remind yourself that the opposite must actually be the truth, and you simply have for some reason something you've bought into as a belief that allows you to use your trust, use your confidence, use your connection, use your control in ways that you don't necessarily prefer to.

And that means you've made a choice to have that experience on some level.

Usually these beliefs might be ensconced in your unconscious mind. And so the whole idea, when you catch yourself saying those things, thinking those things, feeling those things, is to realize that you might be describing a way in which you're using your trust, using your connection, using your confidence, but that the statement itself is not a fact.

It's simply the product of something you've been taught to believe is true about yourself in that particular circumstance or situation.

And if you start to realize that it can't really be possible that you can lack trust or lack confidence, then you can remind yourself when you hear those statements coming from you or passing through your mind, you can remind yourself in that moment, wait a minute, I heard that, and I'm catching it, and it's not a fact, it's just an opinion, it's a perspective, it's a belief, and those things can be changed. When you are very often growing up on your planet, you are taught to believe certain things, you pick them up, sometimes even telepathically, from your parents, from your friends, from your society, from your schooling, but when you finally arrive at the place where you are maturing into adulthood, you suddenly realize that you're carrying around all of this baggage from other people that you've bought into and picked up along the way.

And it starts to weigh you down, you feel like you're dragging it along.

Your own bags weigh nothing.

If you feel held back, if you feel dragged down by certain ideas and beliefs within you, that should be your first clue that you're carrying around someone else's baggage that doesn't belong to you.

You're carrying around someone else's belief system that isn't necessarily something you need to share. When you were growing up, you swallowed it all because you needed someone to take care of you.

And so you wanted to appease your family, your friends, your society, your schooling, by saying, "All right, I'll go along with this, for now." But by the time you grow up, it's become so unconscious, it's become so automatic that you don't even realize that you swallowed all these belief systems that had nothing to do with who you truly are as a being.

And so the process starts happening where you start realizing that these things are not in alignment with who you feel you need to be, who you prefer to be.

The vibrations don't match, it doesn't feel comfortable, it's not where you truly live.

And therefore you have to start the process of divesting yourself of these beliefs that have nothing to do with you that you've been carrying around for so many years. So the idea is simply when you get into that state where you start feeling that the thing you just said about yourself in a circumstance feels like it's rubbing you the wrong way, as you say, it's time to stop and take a moment and pay attention, because right then and right there is the most important moment for you to start getting in touch with what those beliefs are that are in your unconscious mind and bring them into the light of your consciousness so that you can see that they don't belong to you, that they make no sense for who you prefer to be, and then you can start to realize what is and isn't your truth.

Does that make sense? All right.

A very simple technique for any one of you in any circumstance where you start feeling that incompatible vibration is first and foremost, of course, be honest within your own self-investigation and allow yourself to realize the difference between whether it is truly something that is not representative of who you are, truly something that is not representative of your excitement, or whether it is simply your belief system making it look that way.

As soon as you clear out with yourself whether something really is or isn't reflective of who you prefer to be, then you can move forward.

But the idea is to ask yourself a question in one of two ways. Sometimes the first way will work for some of you.

Sometimes the second way will work for different people.

The first way is when you feel that, when you find yourself in that moment, "What would I have to believe is true about myself in this situation to feel, think, behave, or experience what I am feeling, thinking, behaving, or experiencing?" Because all experiences, all behaviors, all thoughts, and all emotions come from what you believe to be true first.

That's the blueprint.

The emotions are the builders of the reality.

The thoughts are the building materials.

The behaviors are the way in which the builders are building your house.

And the experience is you living in the house that was built from the blueprint.
