A Question from Irma: I had a channeling experience last year and I contact a being
who said he was you. I do reiki/light healings and I call upon my guides.
Is is you that is in these sessions? Do you have another message for me? Thank you and blessings.
Vywamus's Response
While I am always available to you, so are many other beings. Each and every human being is offered support constantly by a multitude of other beings, some of whom have as their only task the offering of help to a specific human being. When you are working energetically it is not only I who help you. Each time you request help it is offered by the being or beings, sometimes including me, who are best suited to giving the help you have requested. It is usually not necessary for you to know who is helping you at any given time. What you do need to be sure of is that there is always help for you, whether you ask for it or not.
As to whether I have any particular message for you at this time, I do not, although I would be happy to answer any particular question you have. I do not wish to be the catalyst in you life. I wish to leave that up to you, with my role being to assist you in the direction that you yourself choose. There is no right direction in which to go.

A Question from Michelle: Hi, Vywamus! While I am far from being without judgments,
I do seem to have fewer judgments than those in my
professional field of marriage and family therapy.
I enjoy my work as a therapist, but I am having trouble
seeing how to put into practice total acceptance of
some of the things I encounter without being sent to jail.
For instance, if I accept a child's experience of
being abused, doesn't this mean that I don't report
the abuse to authorities? And that would be against the
law, and I would be in big trouble. I always appreciate
your insight and help - thank you!
Vywamus's Response
Acceptance of something as it is does not dictate at all how you respond to it. Acceptance does not mean you do not respond. Rather acceptance means that however you do respond you do so without judgment.
You can quite well accept that even a child that is abused is all right, while at the same time honoring that you must, if you wish to continue in your job as a therapist, report child abuse when you become aware of it in the course of your work. Reporting something according to the rules of the system in which you are working does not require judgment of the thing. At the same time as you report the child abuse, you may continue working with the abuser and/or the abused child with acceptance of who they are and what they have experienced.
Acceptance can take any form. It is the fact that the form emerges from acceptance that defines the nature of the resulting experience. Acceptance always feels expansive whatever form it takes. Judgment always feels contracting whatever form it takes. The same thing may be done by you on one day from a place of unconditional acceptance, and it will feel great to you. On another day you may engage in the same activity and hate the experience. It is the focus that you are holding that is important to your experience. Moreover, you may experience reporting an incident of child abuse as an act of acceptance, whereas someone else may experience your actions as judgment. That the other could experience your actions as judgment does not define you. Always remember that you are solely responsible for your own experience of life, and you are never responsible for the experience of another, no matter how seductive it may be to take responsibility for the experience of the other.

A Question from Lynn: I have been listening to the hearings on impeaching President
Bill Clinton and the bombing in Iraq. I know that injustice anywhere is a
threat to injustice everywhere. We are in an inescapable net work of
mutualiry, tied in to each others destiny. Safe in our own homes, or deep
into our jobs. We are all in the network of mutuality and everthing we do
affects that network.we are as much a part of the rhythm of life as the
delicate web of roots that hold the permafrost in place. The same overarching
world spirit inhibits us, and we are as necessary as molecules as the
oxygen that we breathe. Let us hope we can do as well as the sparrows and
Chickadees do.We can shape our destiny even as we are shaped by it. I feel
great sadness by all of this but I must do my part. What is the most
effective way? I am shaken by all of these events and I know I need to
communicate this.
Vywamus's Response
The most important thing you can do whatever is happening in you and around you, which you correctly recognize is the same thing, is to keep your focus on yourself and continue your practice of self acceptance. Beings always want to know what is the right thing to do in a given situation. In a unified reality there is never any right thing to do, just as there is no wrong thing do. The least distorted experience, meaning the experience most reflecting the true nature of what is, will arise from any action emerging from a place of acceptance of self. All actions arising from such place in self will embody acceptance of others and of what is. Anything that is an embodiment of unconditional acceptance will promote an experience of expansion and anything that is an embodiment of self judgment will promote an experience of contraction. That is why you feel so confused some of the time in your life. The very same action may for one be an expression of expansion and for another be an expression of contraction. The effect of any action is defined by what it embodies.
For example, most people in the west eat animal flesh. The creatures who are the source of the flesh eaten are usually treated without kindness and killed without gratitude for what they are contributing by being available to be used as nourishment for so many. It is possible to raise creatures for food, which requires killing them, in a way that does recognize their value and gives them due consideration in the scheme of what is. In both cases the killing of the creatures is required, but the experience offered to the creatures is quite different in each.
When you are distressed by what is going on in your life, there is nothing right to do and there is nothing wrong to do. If you want to find satisfaction in how you do contribute, then act or refrain from acting from a place of self acceptance and compassion (which is the same thing) and you will be satisfied and happy. Act or refrain from acting from a place of self judgment and you will experience insufficiency, not because what you have done is bad but because your own experience is defined by the focus you hold, whatever circumstances you find yourself in and whatever actions you take. This is the true meaning of the law of cause and effect, known to many as karma.

A Question from Diann: Vywamus, I am 50 years old and have struggled with various levels of food addiction and overweight since I was ten years old. Right now I am approximately 60 to 70 lbs overweight. I have tried every group, diet, pill, book, prayer, exercise, etc that I have ever heard of. I hate being fat, but feel so hopeless of ever attaining a healthy body of normal weight. Am I supposed to just accept myself like this --- even though I know I am abusing my body when I binge? Please help.
Vywamus's Response
It is not a matter of what you are supposed to do. Rather it is a matter of what will lead you to a more satisfying life experience. There is nothing wrong with what you are doing in your life. What you don't like about you life is that you hate your present experience of it. That is where there is room for a shift.
It may be that you are unable to change your eating patterns. If this is so, then you still have the choice of hating your life or not. There is nothing in the nature of your eating patterns that makes your life unbearable or unacceptable. The reason you suffer in your life as it is is because you judge yourself as not being good enough because of your eating patterns. True, your eating patterns may be affecting your health, but why is a particular type of health any better than any other, except you believe it to be so?
The point is that you suffer because you believe you are not good enough. There are people who are more "overweight" than you who love themselves and experience themselves to be attractive and interesting. The belief that being "overweight" is bad and unacceptable is so pervasive among human beings in the west that it is hard to challenge its validity, but it may be that if you are unwilling to go that route you may be unhappy for a long time. That would be all right. The question for you is whether that is what you want in your life. It is not the only option.
I'm sure to you it seems much worse to be as large as you are and as out of control as you feel than to be, for example, "too" short or "too" tall or "too" dark skinned or "too" smelly. The truth is that no human being is exempt from the belief that he or she is not good enough. You have chosen to focus on your size. Others focus on other aspects of their lives. The common theme is that none of your believe you are good enough just as you are, and that is what causes suffering, no matter what else seems to be the immediate cause.
If you explore your thinking you will find that it is based upon the belief that more than one thing can exist at a time. You believe that there is a right and a wrong, a good and a bad, a better and a worse. The truth is that all of what is is one unified thing, despite appearances to the contrary; and if you believe that God exists, then the one unified thing must be God. Since you cannot be separate from the one thing that is God, then by judging yourself not good enough you are judging God as being not good enough. It is time for you to reconsider your conclusions about your body.
Rather than hate yourself because of your body, you could decide to explore the interesting possibility that God comes in many forms, even your own, and that God sometimes acts in ways that do not fit your idea of how God would act. Perhaps your vision of God is distorted. Wouldn't it be unfortunate to discover that you missed out on knowing God just because you wouldn't consider accepting yourself as being good enough just as you are, warts and all? Please don't give up on yourself.

A Question from Richard: Vywamus, my very dear friend:
Thank you for the water of knowledge that is permitting the seeds in the dessert areas of my life to bloom forth in great glory! I salute you and honour you for the great work you do and have done.
One question I do not yet understand is time. There seems to be no such thing as time and yet the source and ourselves as source explore consciousness and the concept of evolution or exploration seems to embody the idea of time. How can the source evolve (including ourselves) if there is no time? How does this work? (Is there a book where you have written more about this?) With love, honour, respect and gratitude,
Richard
Vywamus's Response
The answer to your question is that there is indeed no actual thing as time in the sense of separate moments that exist consecutively or otherwise. Just as all that is is in actuality one unified thing, even though it often seems to be made up of many separate things, so there is only one point in time or one moment, even though it seems that there are many moments.
The process by which the one unified thing that is all that is is perceived by you to be many separate things is fragmentation. You do not perceive what is as being a whole, and you do not perceive the fragments as even being part of the whole; so you do not perceive the actual reality of the whole, even though it exists. The same is true of time. Time is just a fragment in your perception of the whole of what is all that is. When you are able to experience the unity of what is you will no longer perceive the existence of time. It will merge into your experience of the whole and will no longer appear to you to be a context for all the other fragments of your perception.

A Question from Basil: What is the precise function (if any) of each of the races of humanity, and of humanity as a whole, in the body of the earth and in that
of Sanat Kumara? With thanks in the Light!
Vywamus's Response
The exact purpose of everything that is, including all of the races of
humanity, humanity as a whole, the earth and anything else that is is to
explore itself so that what is can know itself more completely.
One of the essential qualities of all that is is that it is infinite.
Whatever is infinite is never complete and, thus, never completely known,
even to itself, so self exploration is a never ending process.
There is a general misconception that each and every one has a
particular and unique purpose. Although each one may seem to be exploring
one thing or another at differents times, the truth is that all that is, no
matter how it manifests itself, has only one purpose, and that is to explore
itself in order to expand self awareness. The wide variety of contexts in
which exploration is undertaken do not alter this.
Many people believe that things "happen for a reason" and mean by that
expression that there is some particular plan directing the specific events
of each individual's life. This is not true. The singular purpose of self
exploration is the only purpose there is, and all specific manifestations
that result from the self exploration of what is occur just because they
can. There is no other reason. What is explores itself in any way it can
because it has no preferences.
This may seem a harsh and uncaring reality. It is not. All the races of
humanity, as well as all else that is, are by their nature unified, infinite
and indestructible. No experience is essentially better or worse than any
other. There is no higher or lower to be had. Everyone is always safe. In
fact, it is the marvelous nature of reality that frees everyone and
everything to be free to explore anything and everything that is in
unbreachable safety. It is the clinging to beliefs of the limited nature of
individuals, races, humanity and anything else you can think of that
distorts the perception of this marvelous reality into a place where harm
can seem to occur.
Do not spend your wonderful abilities on trying to define anyone or
anything within limited boundaries or purposes. Instead look for the
limitless nature of everyone and everything you encounter, and then,
whatever god there is, you will know it.

A Question from Chelsea: I have a question dear one; How can I find out my ray structure? Personality, soul and monad. I personally feel I am 6th ray soul
7th ray monad...who knows(!) personality.. I would be most appreciative if
you could either give a simple exercise to assist us to gain access to this
information , or whatever you feel appropriate...If possible some hints
would be appreciated!! Much love...Adonai!
Vywamus's Response
What help would it be to you if I told you what you can find out for
yourself? It is my purpose to encourage you to trust who you are and what
you know of yourself. Why would you assume I would know more clearly than
you what your ray structure is? If you experience yourself as 6th ray soul
7th ray monad, then I would encourage you to accept that about yourself and
rely on your own self knowledge. Even if your own awareness of who you are
is incorrect or incomplete, you will never be harmed by relying on yourself,
and by not relying on yourself, as hardly any human being is willing to do
in such matters, you are undermining yourself and your own faith in your
capacity to know who you are. I never want you to think that I can ever be a
greater expert on you that you are yourself.
I would suggest that you also ask yourself whether or not by limiting
yourself to one primary ray whether you are not doing yourself a disservice.
Perhaps there is a particular ray that you are exploring right now, but the
larger truth about you is that you are everything that is, so you can find
all rays in you or reflected in you at any time. There is an urge among
human beings to keep refining and narrowing focus in an attempt to make it
seem that each person's life experience can be neatly defined. This is an
effort arising out of the misperception of reality as dualistic, which leads
to the misimpression that a life can be defined by less than everything that
is. Since reality is unified, then you can never find yourself to be more
defined by any one thing than by any other thing, and you cannot accurately
define yourself to be anything less than all there is at any time.
Your job, dear one, is not to develop a clear definition to who you are,
but rather to allow yourself to be anything without limitation. So my
suggestion to you is stop clinging to one ray above others, and to explore
how you are all rays always. I am not trying to discourage you from
exploring any particular ray, just suggesting that your don't have to
identify with it in order to do so. It often seems more sensible, and
certainly easier, to define self more narrowly, but you will not be able to
find satisfaction in doing so, as the more you identify yourself with less
than all that is, the less fully you will experience who you really are.

A Question from Kevin: Hi Vywamus, I feel a strong spiritual pull in
my life here. I have followed that pull in the past. Currently I have another choice to make, but am getting mixed messages from my soul. Self-ego work, or work that involves putting others ahead of me. Of course, I know the proper answer, but I am having trouble with this one. Is it because I am not
prepared yet-have more to learn? Or should I just jump in? Thanks
Vywamus's Response
Of course, you always have more to learn. Being is a constant and
endless opportunity to experience self as it infinitely expresses itself.
All experience is always open to you.
My most helpful answer to you is that there is no proper answer to what
choice(s) you may make now or ever in your life. You are here to explore
yourself. There is no right circumstance to do it in. The path of greatest
richness and satisfaction is always the path that encourages self acceptance
and, thus, greater knowledge of all that is through self awareness. However,
self acceptance is always available to you, whatever path you may choose,
because even if you find yourself in cicumstances that lead you to self
rejection, and, while in those circumstances, you become willing to accept
your rejection of self, you will find yourself on a path of self acceptance.
In this way, you can never choose a path that does not offer satisfaction
and self fulfillment.
Feel free to follow any and/or all of the pulls you find in your life.
There is no right way to live. There are no right choices in life, as there
are no wrong choices. Your life experience, no matter what your
circumstances, is defined by your willingness to participate in and
experience the fullness of your possibilities. If you are disappointed,
allow yourself to feel and get to know your disappointment. If you are
elated, allow yourself to feel and get to know your elation. If you are
aimless, let yourself become interested in your aimlessness. Allowing
yourself to be interested in yourself and your circumstances, whatever they
are, is the key to satisfaction. If you can do this, you will never wonder
if there is some choice that is better in life, because you will already be
fully engaged in your present life experience. It is only when you are not
presently fully engaged in your life that you would find yourself wondering
where else you could look for fulfullment.
Don't worry about your ego. Just explore it, so you can know yourself
more completely. There is nothing wrong with ego, and there is nothing
particularly good about it, either. It is just part of your makeup,
deserving of interested attention no more or less than any other aspect of
self.
Lastly it is a misunderstanding of your nature that leads you to believe
that you could ever put others ahead of yourself. In fact, the only
experience you are ever able to have is of yourself. It is through the
experience of self that you can know everything, so it is no limitation that
all you can ever experience is self. Sometimes you want to experience
yourself with a primary focus of caring for others, and sometimes you want
to experience self without thought of others. Always your life will include
some of each, but have no misunderstanding. In all cases you are ultimately
meeting your own need(s), and you can have no other purpose.
Whenever you have the thought that you are putting others ahead of
yourself it is an indication that you have forgotten who you are and a
reminder to bring your conscious attention back to the exploration of how
your present experience is driven by and defined by your own needs. Since
you can only experience your self and cannot share in the experience of any
other (except throught the experience of self), there is nothing
inappropriate in this.
If you wonder whether I am telling you the truth here, just reach out
with your hand and touch someone who is near to you. Ask yourself whether or
not you were able to feel that person when you touched him or her. In all
likelihood you will believe that you have felt the other through your touch.
Then examine your experience more closely until you come to an understanding
that even when you reach out to touch others, it is only yourself you are
feeling, and it is only your own experience of the touch that you can know.
When you touch another, you feel only your own sensation and not the
sensation of the other. What feels pleasuable to you may feel uncomfortable
to the other, and you would never know. Another may tell you something feels
pleasurable when in fact it is uncomfortable to him or her. You must accept
what the other tells you because you cannot share in the other's actual
sensation. Moreover, in the same manner, you cannot experience directly
another's thoughts or another's emotions. So if you want to have the richest
experience possible, remember as much as possible that your source of
knowledge about all that is comes only through self knowledge, no matter
what circumstances you are in.

A Question from Shirlene: Is it true that in observation of all the beliefs and feelings that one holds, with neither judgement of acceptance or denial, leads to activity in consciousness, that creates changes at a deep level within oneself? This activity having nothing to do with being in motion in the usual way that humanity views doing?
Vywamus's Response
It is not that observation of all aspects of self creates changes within
self. Rather what happens as you explore self is that you come to know self
more completely, and in knowing self more completely you become more and
more aware of the true nature of reality. From my point of view this process
causes no changes in self unless you are going to think of the expansion of
self awareness as a change, which is not how I think of it.
This is indeed a profound process, because it offers you the chance to
know everything that is through the process of knowing self. You can know
everything that is by exploring self because everything that is is embodied
in what you think of as self. What is is in unity, so you cannot exist
separate and apart from the one thing that is the unity of what is. You can
also never be made up of less than the whole, because the whole is
indivisible, despite the many widely held beliefs to the contrary.
The importance of the kind of self exploration you are asking about is
that it offers you the chance to know the truth from your own direct
experience of it. I do not want you to believe me just because I tell you. I
want you to know the truth from your own experience, and if you would be
willing to come to know who you already are, you can know the truth directly
and will not have to depend on anyone else's perception of it.
This kind of self exploration must emerge from self acceptance, because
you are only able to come to know that which you can accept. Denial is the
mechanism that has been used to avoid awareness of that in self which is not
accepted, and self judgment is the mechanism by which that which is to be
deemed unacceptable is identified.
To be able to accept who and what you find self to be, remember that you
are everything that is, so you must always be enough. If you experience
yourself as less than enough at any time or in any situation, then you must
have forgotten who you are. The process of self acceptance is all about
remembering who you already are. It is not about becoming anyone who you are
not. That is why I urge you not to try to change self in any way.

A Question from Russ: Greetings, in the name of the Mighty Majestic Presence. I recently discovered this page (I suppose led myself here), and I am... it's hard to say how I feel. I don't know where to start. I am about on mental overload from reading the various teachings on the I Am Presence, Ascension, and the search for my Higher Self by various authors (Ascended Masters). While I mentally know that I AM that I AM, it's the experience that I struggle with. And I know (mentally) I shouldn't struggle at any of this. However, any encouragement would be helpful.
Vywamus's Response
An important thing for you to remember as you educate yourself is that you already are who you are. There is no need to make yourself into anyone that you aren't already. You don't need to improve yourself. This means that the primary education that you need is to learn about who you are now. This kind of work is not done in the main by reading books by others.
Learning about yourself is a practice of noticing who you are. Who you believe yourself to be is not who you are. You might find it helpful to learn a meditation practice such as insight meditation, which is a particular type if Buddhist meditation that teaches the practice of noticing what is without judgment.
It is an interesting thing that human beings, including yourself, do not at all know who you are. You have many and varied beliefs about who you are, but you don't know who you are from direct experience of yourselves. You read books to learn about yourselves, yet, since you are yourselves, all you need to do is pay attention to yourselves to learn what you really want to know. This is a task that people with highly developed belief systems do not learn easily. For example, many people believe that they should like certain people or foods or types of work. For their whole lives these people spend time with those people, eat those foods and undertake those types of work because they believe that they should like or want them. Often there is, at the very same time, a distaste or even a hatred for those people, foods and/or work which is never acknowledged because of the belief that such feelings should not be. This belief does not change reality. It does discourage each person from being aware of reality, because to be aware of reality would mean that people would have to know that they had feelings about their associates, food and/or work that they should not have. Rather than admit that they have feelings that they should not have, people pretend that they don't have their feelings. Thus they denied portions of the truth about themselves. This process has operated to such a degree with humans that you have practically forgotten all of who you are.
I would suggest that you stop reading so many books to find out who you are and instead begin to ask yourself who you are. You will find out that some of who you are is not who you had wanted to be. You may not be an ascended master. You may just be a human being made up of a combination of what you may think of as strengths and of weaknesses. Try not to judge what you learn of yourself. As much as you may want to be who you are not, you are who you are, and wanting it to be otherwise, no matter how much you may want it, will not make it so. I am hoping that you will eventually give up your ideas of more advanced life forms and recognize yourself to be the being you have always wanted to be just as you already are.

A Question from Robert: I have experienced pervasive dishonesty and dessicated hearts as well as corruption at all levels of this society--government, courts, education, religion, medicine, New Age pursuits, and people. Is American civilization dying? Or is it going insane similar to what happened in Nazi Germany?
Vywamus's Response
No civilization or society is dying or going insane. What you are experiencing has been going on since time immemorial and civilization and society are still going strong. This behavior is something you are going to have to accept if you are to ever understand the nature of reality.
The tone of your question implies that the behavior you describe in your question is unacceptable. That is the source of your confusion. What you find unacceptable in others is the same as what you find unacceptable in yourself. You are, therefore, unwilling to explore the behavior in others that you cannot accept in yourself. Moreover, everyone has dishonesty and corruption in him or her. No one is exempt, for you are manifestations of all that is, so you have in you everything that is, including those aspects of what is that you reject.
By this I am not saying that it does not matter whether one is dishonest or corrupt. I am saying it is neither good nor bad to be either honest or dishonest, corrupt or pure. Whenever you have dyads such as "good" or "bad" and "right" or "wrong" you are inviting dualistic thinking or beliefs into your life, and reality cannot accurately be understood in the context of duality, as it is itself in unity. What I would say about dishonesty and corruption is that they do not work very well if your goal is to experience the truth about what is. For some people this is not an immediate goal, and it is important to understand that that is all right.
The important thing for you to understand is that the dishonesty and corruption of others in no way hampers you from entering into the experience of reality as fully as you are able. I have
been teaching for some time that the nature of reality is such that everyone is always safe; there is always movement; satisfaction is always available; and there is never injustice. The dishonesty and corruption of others does not change any of this.
If you want to find satisfaction and a sense of your own okayness in life you must become willing to come to know your own dishonesty and your own corruptions. This will not necessarily bring about any change in you or in others, but it will put the events around you in perspective.
If you were to rid the world of all those who are not honest all of the time, you would have no one left. Unless you want to purge the world of everyone, then you must find a way to live with those that are here without expecting them to be other than they are.
Dishonesty and corruption have at their root a belief that what is is not good enough just as it is. If you want to help humanity you will come to know and accept the dishonesty and corruption in yourself and let all of who you are be seen without judgment. It is not an easy task because those around you will not have done the same self exploration that you have done, and they will still judge you for who you are. It is not advisable to bare yourself to others as who you know yourself to be until you can hold the focus of self acceptance even in the face of the judgment of other. This is not an easy task and should not be undertaken lightly. The preparation work can, however, be undertaken immediately, but it is a more demanding discipline than it seems at first and requires the guidance of a teacher of some sophistication.

A Question from Robert: Is it true that at some level we already know everything and that famous humans such as Shakespeare, Beethoven, Michelangelo, Einstein, and many others, even Jesus and Gautama Buddha, are just the ones who were able to remember?
Vywamus's Response
The answer to your question is yes. It is true that as you already are you have access to everything. The only way to consciously accessing everything is to accept yourself just as you are, but, as you know, accepting yourself just as you are is not as easy as it seems.
