SERTORIUS - NOTE ON CHANGING A FUTURE EVENT
11.7.85.
This was the first session after a break of two weeks while we were on
holiday.
The meeting opened with an exercise in which golden light was passed
around the circle and then expanded through the universe. Each sitter
was then asked to sit on a stool in the centre while the other sitters
directed loving concern and acceptance towards the person. Afterwards
sitters reported feeling waves in the air which were very pleasant, one
sitter reported that she had not wanted it to stop, it was like a
conceptual waterfall.
Sertorius then came through and introduced himself to a new member of
the circle. He explained that they had been working on the auras of
the sitters to strengthen them, and on increasing the energy available
in the circle. They had also been working on the medium - they were
trying to increase the depth of trance, work which cannot be rushed.
The expansion of light exercise was appropriate after a short break.
He then asked if anyone had some particular concern in the spiritual
area and some time was taken in discussing a problem concerning a
person with low self-esteem.
Sertorius then explained that they were still working on the sitters
and that this was the main purpose that night and this was why there
was no set lecture. He then gave the following short talk:
Perhaps we should remind you of the importance of what you are holding
in your mind. Very often, by changing what is in your mind you can
change conditions in your material sphere. Now I am not talking so
much about the conscious mind but very often there is something at the
back of your mind. You may hardly be aware of it, and that is, shall
we say, a picture or depiction, of a condition in your life, an event
which is to come, and if you can identify or become aware that that
picture is there and change that picture, you can by so doing, change
the condition or event in some way.
So try to become aware of what is at the back of your mind. Not quite
on the sub-conscious level. Perhaps we can say, a pre-conscious level.
It is almost in awareness and - this is where I am having trouble with
the words and concepts - I am trying to tell you how to become aware of
this. Now, if I say analyse what is in your mind, you are going to
think you have to sit down and look at everything that is there in a
sort of mechanical type of way. That is not really what I am wanting
you to do. Perhaps if I point out to you that this is there. If you
spend a period, a relaxed period I am not talking about meditation or
anything like that - perhaps the word I want is reverie. (Sertorius
was groping for the words to express his idea) You are just sitting
quietly, perhaps you are having a cup of tea or perhaps just idly
sitting watching the birds in the garden. Something like that - a
gentle state of mind. And see what is there, see if you can become
aware of what is at the back of your mind.
Many clairvoyants do this quite accidentally. They are more aware of
the general thing, and can pick up either what is just at the back of
the other person's mind, or an event which is forming in the
pre-conscious level in the minds of people generally - that would be a
world event or a localised event, something that is to happen to a
community or to a group, and of course, to themselves.
So try this sometimes. A presentiment or a hunch, might just be this
thing on the pre-conscious level, and if you can change the picture
that is there so you can change the event. Now, if that event involves
other people you may not be able to completely prevent the event, but
you may be able to change your part in it, and so by consciously,
intelligently saying this event will be there, you can see what your
actions or part in it might be. And try to change the picture of your
part in that event to see if you can alter the outcome.
The stronger people, by strong I mean those who have a greater
awareness of this, may also be able to change the other people's
actions. But you should at least be able to affect your own.
So when you have a presentiment or hunch, look at it and see if there
is something in your own actions in that event, and change the picture
of them. Change your imagining of them and in this way you may be able
to change, not perhaps the event, but the outcome of that event. So
that you can change it to a more positive direction.
Now, are you all understanding what I am trying to say? Does anybody
want anything clarified?
It is one of those things where I have the concepts and have trouble
putting them into words that you can accept. Words that you can work
on and use.
I think the greatest difficulty is this becoming aware of what is
there. When you are aware of it your own development is taking another
step upwards or forwards - if you want to use these directional words.
This, perhaps I should say, is one of the steps in your development.
But you must never do these things with any sort of force in them, or
tension. It must be a gentle process. As soon as you start applying
force or strain at it, there will be a tension and it will be more
difficult. You have to grow in it like a flower unfolding. This may
seem contradictory, I ask you to look at it and then be natural, like a
flower.
Guy: If I may put it in our terms, Sertorius, if I understand you
correctly, it involves concepts which may not be clear to everybody
here. Please contradict me if I am wrong. The basic concept is that
all physical events, before they happen to us in our world, are first
formed on a psychic level. Now if we can become consciously aware of
these psychic structures as they are being formed in our psyches on a
conscious level, and if we can then change them, not by power of will
but by imagination, projection. We then, in that way, change the
actual course of the physical. Is that basically what you are trying
to say?
Sertorius: Yes. I think that is well put. And the easiest one to start
with is yourself, your own actions. So if it is an event in which you
are involved, change the picturing of your actions so that the outcome
of the event will be changed to a more positive direction.
Gina: So that we basically influence our own destination? Instead of
being carried by them?
Sertorius: Yes. You have agreed on certain things before birth as we
have taught before, and therefore, it is possible for you to change
them. And, naturally, it is easier to change the smaller events, and
the more that you find you can change those (small) events, the more
you will be able to change the bigger events.
Sylvia: It is being aware of the path you are on yourself, isn't it?
Sertorius: Yes. You can use that analogy if you wish.
Rosemary: I can certainly picture myself imagining, changing myself,
but you said before that you could somehow change the other people
involved. Is that what you said?
Sertorius: Yes. The more adept you get at changing the picture on the
pre-conscious level, the more likely it is that you can change other
people's actions. But remember that by changing your own actions they
will be reacting to something different. So there are the two ways,
you can use the picturing, but also by changing your own actions they
have something different to react to. Is that satisfactory for
everyone?
Gina: So far.
Sertorius: I think I will leave you there for tonight. Just because I
said that tonight would be light and easy, it doesn't mean to say that
nothing much has been going on. We have been working on your auras.
We would like to have a few more moments in silence with you, and I
will then withdraw.
