Being The Observer - Dissecting The Wisdom Of Shaltazar

And welcome back to another episode of Dissecting the Wisdom of Shaltazar with my good friend and collaborator,

Mark Lane.

Welcome back,

Mark.

Hi,

Jeffrey.

How are you?

I am doing well.

I am doing well.

Lots of learning and growth,

And these are very,

Very interesting times.

Various places in the world,

We're in that second wave of COVID,

And just another great opportunity for changes in ourselves and in humanity.

How are you finding things?

Yeah,

Kind of the same.

We've been talking,

Those of us who are on a spiritual path,

I suppose,

Have been talking about the remaking of mankind for a long time.

And at some point they became hollow words.

And now the universe has presented us an opportunity for it to actually happen.

And it's kind of interesting and exciting to me.

Yeah,

I think so too.

So have you got a topic for us to dissect today?

I do.

And it's going to take a little bit to make it make sense,

Perhaps.

But the idea I had was to talk about alignment,

Alignment to source.

And I guess the spawn of the idea came from one of the brand new Shaltazar messages,

Which I really love,

Called Minding the Mind,

Where Shaltazar talks about being the observer of life.

And that idea of being the observer,

I've been working on it.

As in all Shaltazar messages,

It asks us to practice and practice some more.

And so I've been practicing.

And I almost feel like being the observer has changed my DNA because it has kind of cast a new perspective on life for me.

And I'm starting to realize that when you step into the role of the observer and you're no longer qualifying everything that comes into your life as good or bad.

And I've got this mental concept of buckets,

Right?

You know,

We talk about a bucket list.

I've got this mental concept of buckets.

And I think most people have two or possibly three buckets that they put all of their life experiences into.

There's the good bucket,

The bad bucket,

And then maybe there's a neutral bucket.

It's raining in England.

I don't really care.

So that maybe falls into the neutral bucket.

But we tend to qualify everything by giving it a label.

And these labels,

And this is a kind of an idea that came to me from,

I was reading the Kryon parables.

There's a parable called the,

What is it called,

The Room of Lessons,

Or the Rooms of Lesson.

And the character would hang things on his wall that would either make him feel happy or sad.

And I kind of feel like as we go through our life experience and we put things in buckets,

If we think it's a good thing and we want to put it in the good bucket,

We're like,

Oh,

I can feel good about that because it's going in the good bucket.

And if we see something or if we experience something that we think is bad and we put it in the bad bucket,

Then we feel bad about that.

And this idea that shelter's are presents about being the observer kind of neutralizes everything.

And it allows us to all put it in the neutral bucket because we don't have an emotional attachment or reaction to the thing that happens.

It just is a thing that happens.

And in getting to that place of neutrality.

I feel like that is when we are perfectly aligned with source and spirit and we are letting spirit guide us and we're not,

You know,

We're not judging what spirit sends us.

We're just experiencing it and being.

So that's a mouthful.

I love it.

Oh boy.

Am I ever getting excited about this conversation?

You're right on with the neutrality of the observer.

I think in one of the messages shelters are says you watch on as the the character by your name is playing the role.

And so it is that neutrality that allows for non-judgment and from a certain distancing of the antics that we as human beings act out on a daily basis.

And it is that removal from the character playing the role that you call by your name that allows for,

Like you say,

This greater alignment.

And I often say to clients,

Come with me to the mountaintop so we can have a better view of what's going on in your life.

And in those more recent messages,

The phrase aligning your will with God's will comes out a few times.

And I think that that observer allows that to happen because you are removing the emotional attachment you have.

And as human beings,

We have to have an emotional attachment.

It's impossible not to.

I mean,

To a certain degree,

I wouldn't want my human experience to have all the things in the neutral bucket.

Right.

What the hell?

What are we doing?

What are we doing here if it's all going to be neutral?

I need some excitement.

I would love to get rid of the disappointment and frustration and all of the things in the quote unquote bad bucket.

But sometimes I wouldn't even know what's going to fit into the good bucket unless I experience what's in the bad bucket.

I,

Shelters are often as quoted,

We learn by comparison.

And I sort of distill that to I wouldn't know how much I love chocolate ice cream unless there was vanilla ice cream.

Right.

Right.

Yeah.

The the the our our consciousness lies in the contrast,

Right?

We have to have the the the polar opposites for us to be able to understand what we're seeing or experiencing.

Right.

Exactly.

Because we live in a place of polarity.

And this concept of the observer,

I think you're you're you're onto something really,

Really big,

Allows you in the the ancient Hermetic philosophy of Hermes Trismus Gistus,

Hermes Thrice the Great,

Talked about the Hermetic master being able to move above the swing of the pendulum,

Above the polarities.

And so that observer that you refer to is an ideal way to move above the polarities to get a sense of of the again,

The antics that we are playing in the polarities.

Right.

Right.

Yeah.

We are when when you're when you're in the pool,

It's much different than when you're standing on the on the deck watching people in the pool.

Right.

It's exactly right.

That's exactly right.

So so here you are,

You're going along,

You're having a great day.

And all of a sudden,

One of your kids,

One of your good friends,

Your spouse says something to you,

Triggers something in you.

And you've got this triggering of an emotional trauma and and you sort of go off the deep end.

Well,

Sholtazar says,

If you can be two,

If you can divide yourself so that the observer is watching you,

The premise is that all of a sudden you come to your senses and realized,

Oh,

My goodness,

This isn't what my wife said to me or my husband or my kids or my best friend.

This is triggering when I was a kid and this happened.

And so it's interesting.

My my first coach,

Robin Sharma,

Taught me that there's and I forget I forget the exact number,

But I think he said that there's a two and a half second delay from the time something occurs for you to respond.

And he was a great proponent of using that two and a half seconds to really consciously respond to what was happening.

And I think by connecting to the the observer,

The neutrality of the observer,

You are connecting to a breath of fresh air,

A neutrality,

An objectivity to be able to respond more consciously.

Right.

And that that conscious response,

I think,

Is a lot of what Sholtazar is trying to explain in that in that message,

Minding the Mind.

Because it's sort of a challenge for us to be more conscious and aware of the choices that we're making and not living on autopilot.

One of the quotes in here that I like is when the mind is wandering off into the past and the future,

It is difficult to be aware of the choices you are making every moment.

And we are making choices every moment.

But most of them are just based on past experiences and programming and old energy that we don't even we don't even really notice and consider until we're able to step out of that out of that.

The doer and to watch us as the actor,

As you described.

Yeah.

And as you were talking,

It's sort of like having this invisible friend.

And I think in one of the messages,

Sholtazar talks about it as the most loving,

Understanding,

Wise parental figure that is always available to you.

So can you imagine?

OK.

And this is the kind of neat part and a nuance to the observer.

If the observer is there always watching and I have a blowout,

I have a trigger,

I can later in the day tap into my observer and say,

What the hell happened?

Because the observer is like a videographer that is recording every step.

And so you as long as you've invoked the observer,

You can tap into the observer at a later time because that neutrality objectivity observer has been recording what's happening in your life.

And awareness,

Again,

I learned early on in my journey,

Awareness can be after the fact.

And that's OK.

And eventually from that after the fact awareness,

You can go to before the fact.

And that's where the consciousness comes in.

So I think you need that step where you go out and act based on autopilot.

You've got the observer covering your back,

So to speak,

Watching over,

Connect to the observer and say,

OK,

What the hell happened there?

You know,

That really felt uncomfortable.

And,

You know,

In this conversation between you and the observer,

You kind of figure it out.

You gain this extra awareness and the next time that trigger occurs,

You make a different choice.

Does any of that make sense?

It does.

It occurs to me,

And maybe this is a question.

Do you think that what Scheldesar is suggesting is that that gap that you described between the unconscious acting and then the later tapping into the observer and seeing it from a detached perspective,

That gap in between those two ends of the experience,

Kind of through awareness,

Bringing them closer together so the gap isn't quite as big.

And so your experience and observation become closer and closer to the point,

Perhaps,

That you can even get them to be simultaneous.

And you're then 100 percent in the moment of the experience.

Does that make sense?

With the observer guiding you bang on bingo trip to the bonus board.

You get the old sticker.

Yes,

That's exactly it.

You've got the essence of the larger purpose of life to master the duality.

So in essence,

What you just described is a person figuring out a way to master the duality.

You invoke the observer,

You connect with the observer,

And eventually the observer and you become one.

And you are a conscious human being in unison,

In united.

The duality of the human being and the unity of the observer become one.

Right.

And I believe that's what the great masters of the planet,

Buddha,

Krishna,

Jesus,

All of them.

That's exactly what they did.

That's exactly what they did.

Now,

What we did is we just dissected this to say,

Well,

If you were going to do that,

You know,

What's one way of doing it?

And so we did the step by separating the observer from the human being.

And then you really tied it all together because the object of the game is to bring them back together so that the observer is guiding your choices in the moment.

There you go.

You didn't realize how brilliant that was.

It didn't come from me.

I'm just the antenna.

Because in the moment,

My friend,

Your observer and you came together.

Because the you thought it was a question,

But really it was a setup because your observer was prompting you to help me help the listeners discover this amazing,

Amazing insight into the greater purpose of our life,

Which is to bring the observer,

The spirit within,

Together with the human being that we call by our name.

Right.

Right.

Wow.

Yeah,

How about that?

Right.

And let me tie it all together,

Because when I asked you what you were going to talk about,

You used a word.

Do you remember what that word was?

Alignment.

Right.

Bingo.

There it is again.

So the bringing together of the observer and the human being in alignment is what this is all about.

There you go.

Right.

Right.

What we talked about was,

Well,

How do we get there?

Well,

We recognize the separateness of the observer and the human being.

Of course,

The first step is for us to connect to our observer.

And that's why I think meditation is a great way.

We first of all have to agree that there is an observer.

There is a part of us that is a higher consciousness,

A higher self,

A part of us that is the source,

Whatever it is you want to call it.

You have to acknowledge that it's there.

Then you have to start building a relationship with it,

And then you have to invite it in so that it becomes part of the whole.

Right.

The mastering the duality,

Right?

It's the reunification of the two estranged selves that we all are.

Yeah.

I think we're both somewhat in awe because I think we've kind of just been played because I get the sense of like,

I'm in awe at what we've come to in this conversation relatively quickly.

It's like the observer played us and we were able to communicate and share a phenomenal insight of life.

Now,

Of course,

Easier to have the insight than to apply it.

But like I say,

It's sort of like this aha moment,

This Satori moment where it's made even greater sense to me than it has in the past.

Yeah,

Same here.

Yeah,

I agree.

I feel like we should smoke a cigarette and relax.

Or maybe smoke something that's a little bit more mood enhancing,

Right?

Yeah,

It sounds great.

Not that the listeners should get the impression that we're promoting bad habits like smoking,

Right?

No,

I've never smoked in my life.

Well,

I did and I quit a long,

Long time ago and I am sure glad that I did.

It feels really good when you go in for those medicals or they ask you medical questions,

Do you smoke?

And the answer is no.

Sure,

I bet.

Which,

You know,

I will just bring it in the few minutes we have left.

I'll just bring it back to the issue of taking care of your physical vessel.

Because if you do not take care of your physical vessel,

It becomes very onerous and difficult to connect to the observer because you are in a lower and slower vibration.

It's like Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

You're focusing on,

You know,

You're always sick and you always don't have the energy.

So taking care of your physical vessel is an important component if you want to connect and unify with the observer within.

And I think that that's really important.

Most of the stuff that you and I talk about,

A lot of my practice is really on mental,

Emotional and spiritual well-being.

But I have to say that physical well-being is really,

Really important if you are to be able to achieve that holistic mastering of the duality.

Right.

I long believe that one of the cosmic purposes of illness and injury is the universe forcing your attention back onto your body to realize that the things that you're doing to it that are not beneficial are going to hurt.

And we're going to make you pay attention to that so you stop doing it.

Right.

Right.

And bring it back to that first word that you said our conversation was going to be about,

Alignment.

When you are sick,

When you are ill,

That is the sign that you are out of alignment.

Right.

So in order to be in alignment,

The physical vessel has to be operating from that state of homeostasis.

And we talked about that in other episodes,

To be able to be in that place where the body has the ability to function well and to heal.

So certainly the physical well-being is an important part of that alignment.

Right.

Yeah.

Fabulous.

I'm getting the sense that there's really nothing else we have to talk about today.

No,

I don't think so.

I think this was a good and interesting conversation and explanation of a message I think we both really like that probably has a lot of other interesting in-depth insights we could talk about at a future date.

But this was good.

I enjoyed it.

And I encourage the listeners to think about alignment,

Think about what you need to do to get yourself in alignment.

And I encourage you to find ways to connect to that observer within.

One of my favorite messages,

And thank you,

Mark,

For helping me name these messages,

Is Minding the Mind,

The one that you referred to.

It is,

By the way,

The 100th channeled message that I brought forth from Shaltazar.

So I encourage you to check it out.

Minding the Mind,

I think it's really a very powerful message that can help you live more in alignment.

Thank you so much for today's question.

I really appreciated you and your input.

I thought it was a fabulous,

Flowing conversation totally in alignment.

And thank you for doing this series with me,

Mark.

You're welcome,

Jeffrey.

I enjoy it every week.

Excellent.

Excellent.

Thank you,

Listeners,

For tuning in.

Love and light to you all.
