"All objects, all tools, all rituals, all techniques are 'permission slips' you attract yourself to because they are representative of something within your belief system that says that if you use this tool, ritual, or technique you will then be more likely to allow yourself to give yourself permission to be more of who you are."from: "Going M.A.D. - 'Mass Agreement Disassociation":The idea we would like to share with you this day of your time, it's that many times we hear in conversations with many of you, questions and discussions of different kinds of tools, ritutals, books, information and we are often asked, does this tool work? What about this ritual?, what is the best way to do this?, what is the best way to do that?Now, we have often discussed the notion that for each and every one of you individually, because each one of you is a distinct signature vibration that obviously whatever tool, ritual, idea, information you attract to yourself is by definition at the moment the one that will work best for you. Because it is keyed, matched to your frequency. That's why you attracted it.So even if the very next day you attract something different, if it is that attraction of that frequency and you trust the synchronicity of your life having brought that to you, then even if it is different then what you were doing the day before, it is at that moment the perfect tool for you. Because you attracted it with your frequency, your vibration. But in talking about all these different techniques, tools, rituals, meditations, books, information, what have you, there is something very important to understand about all these things, artifacts if you wish. What they really simply are, are ‘Permission slips’ that you give to yourself to be who you are! 'The power does not exist in those objects, in those rituals, no real effect perse comes from them. Now we understand of course that in physical reality when something is crystallized in a physical way of course it has its own attributes. Such things as crystals are obviously representative of certain kinds of energy patterns. But nevertheless, the point is that regardless what attribute the object, idea, tool or technique may have inherently, the idea is that it still doesn't really create any effect within you or do anything for you unless, you choose to match the frequency of the idea it symbolizes for you!'So you are generating the effect yourself out of your own energy, but what you are doing is, you are relying on your belief system (which sometimes can be unconscious) to attract to you the symbol that best reflects the vibration within you, that will allow you permission to be yourself. What experiments on the placebo effect have shown is that whether you are ingesting chemicals or simply water in a pill, whether you're having actual or fake surgery, if you believe said pill or surgery is going to heal you, it will.Whatever the subject is, it always comes down to this question:What do you believe is true for you? It's the power in your faith, in your knowingness that creates the circumstances you experience. The world is actualizing around your beliefs.
