Not A Mistake

"SH" poses an interesting question.

"It's quite possible that I did get some contact with a higher life/soul/whatever, but threw the baby out with the bath water. What if that which you once would have called "the highest you know" is something that in retrospect looks like a mistake? Are you correct now, or were you correct then? Anyway, I'd rather not have to wait until a future life to get another shot at it... so, this topic is very, very interesting to me."

JJ:

Following the highest you know is never a mistake, even though the choice made may be entirely incorrect on hindsight. The mistake would be to make a decision not in alignment with your highest perception or worse yet, do nothing.

It's a little like this: A traveler has three paths before him but only one leads to the desired destination. He listens to opinions from fellow travelers, but the choice is not clear. He makes his best guess and proceeds. After a short distance he discovers that he chose the wrong path. He retraces his steps and chooses again. This time he chooses correctly.

His first choice was a wrong choice, but it was not a mistake. Why? Because the making the decision, right or wrong, was the right thing to do. It was a necessary act to find the true path. A necessary step is not a mistake.

I was in the Mormon Church in my younger years and on reflection the highest I knew back then involved many errors. BUT, because I was true to myself and followed the highest I knew I was lead to seeing through many illusions and made numerous corrections.

Now in a higher cycle I still follow the highest I know. Is all I see and teach perfection? Of course not. As time progresses I will see more and fill in more missing pieces that will bring higher vision still. May we all do the same.

Dan gave one of my favorite quotes from DK that shed further light on vibration:

"Students would also do well to ponder on the distinction between the breath and the Sound, between the process of breathing and of creating directed vibratory activity. The one is related to Time and the other to Space and they are distinct from each other; and (as the Old Commentary puts it) "the Sound, the final and yet initiating Sound, concerns that which is neither Time nor Space; it lies outside the manifested All, the Source of all that is and yet is naught." (No thing. A.A.B.) End Quote"

It is interesting that breath is related to time and sound to space. This corresponds to Einstein's fourth dimension of Space-Time.

Then the third creative force "is neither Time nor Space; it lies outside the manifested All, the Source of all that is and yet is naught."

This would be the energy I have called Purpose.

Question: How is breath related to time and sound to space?

"I love my past. I love my present. I'm not ashamed of what I've had, and I'm not sad because I have it no longer."
