I am here. I have much to tell you. Thank you foropening your heart and mind to me. It's easiest if I speakin thoughts. You'll find a way that works best for you torecord this for your and others' benefit.

Don't try so hard. It works more easily if you allow yourmind and heart to open and receive. [As soon as she spokethis, I noticed how much inner tension and tightness I wascreating with my attitude that I had to control this process.This simple awareness helped me shift into a relaxedopenness in my heart center.]

It's okay to question and is preferred. [Good to know. Ihave lots of questions.]

You're curious about who I am. [That's an understatement!]

That will wait for another, later time. [Okay. I trust there'sa reason for that.]

I don't want to tire you so I will let you set the pace forthis work. All that's needed is for you to sit quietly, say yourprayer of protection, and ask me to be present. Then we'llbegin work. I'm pleased to have this chance to teach youand others what I know.

You'll know you are truly connected with an enlightenedsource of wisdom from the gentle, compassionate mannerin which I appear; the fact that I will never force on yousomething you did not request or are unwilling to cooperatewith; and I will never do or say anything belittling or criticalor harm you in any way. [My inner teacher's manner andtone in communicating totally embodied these qualitiesdespite my skeptical thoughts beginning this endeavor. Thisgreatly relieved me about how I'd tell if I was connected withan enlightened source. That is the reason for the prayer ofprotection, but I clearly didn't trust it or myself completely.]

You will sense the truth of this as you do now. If yousurround yourself with protection and in your prayerask or invite only the highest wisdom from the ChristConsciousness, you will be safe, and other less enlightenedsouls will not be able to influence or harm you. [I took thereference to less enlightened souls to mean disembodiedsouls that remain earthbound or less enlightened souls onthe lower astral planes which Cayce and other metaphysicalwriters describe. I intuitively understood the reference toharm not in the physical sense but as harm caused bybeing led astray from my intended purpose of connectingwith highest wisdom.]

You can insure that this work stays accurate andpure by simply opening, listening, and recording whatyou hear mentally in thoughts during our designatedwork time; by continuing meditation to foster your ownspiritual development; and by avoiding interpreting whatis said. [The process of writing everything I hear with mynonphysical, inner hearing takes all my mental attention somy analyzing, interpreting mind is in neutral mode. I justwrite what I receive.]

This is a true working partnership. I'm honored to havethis vehicle to teach you and others.

Yes, I sense and hear your thoughts and mental questions,and I respond with thoughts you hear with your innermind. [This was my inner teacher's immediate response tomy wondering if she knows my thoughts as I think them.Oddly enough, I find this delightful, even comforting, asthere has been no judgment or criticism regarding some ofthe outrageous thoughts I've already had like "my familyand colleagues will disown me; they'll think I've lost mymind or am making this up. What if I am?" No matter howfearful my thoughts, all were met only with acceptance. Also,I appreciated the bottom line integrity and directness of nothaving to peel through facades, pretenses, and defenses.You get what's there, right away. Don't get me wrong. Thiscoming up against one's inner negative thoughts is not easyor pleasant, but it certainly allows lots of opportunities forhonest...
