BEYOND 2012: A NEW CIVILISATION  International Conference, May 2010

'Embracing A New Chapter For Mankind'

Good morning! (Jeddah smiling)
This is my daily exercise, smiling - you can try it too! You notice
as you start to smile that your heart lifts, your body relaxes and
the chatter in your brain quietens down, and you feel this lovely
emanation, this lovely peace, this goodwill coming out of you.  And
that starts at the source of our nature, the source of our
existence, and it gently radiates through you when you smile.  And
that's what I want to speak about today - I want to speak about our
nature.

So, we're Embracing a New Chapter for Mankind, and the topic for
this conference is 2012.  Even though 2012 is a very specific date,
which causes a lot of curiosity, a lot of questions, and it also
causes some anxiety, I want to speak about the far bigger picture
of 2012.  I want to speak about what that is representing and why.
So let's look first at our current approach.  Here we are, all
beings together on planet earth.  It's the one thing we all share.
Our presence here is so universal and yet it's the one thing we
don't all subscribe to.  Our current approach on earth deals with
separation, it deals with borders, it deals with lots of different
laws, it deals with segregation.  And very rarely does our
presence, our provision for humanity, deal with our universality -
what is unified, what we share, what is similar.

Let's have a look at the history of mankind's presence.  If we look
at our history right back to the earliest times, in this last 5000
year segment that we've been living in, would we say that this is a
successful civilization?  Would we say that our current approach
reflects harmony amongst mankind?  If you ask most people in the
world, 'Do you think the world is harmonious?' they will say 'No'.
Would we say that our stewardship of the planet so far in these
last 5000 years has been successful?  Would we say that the way
we're living right now on earth, in today's time, is the optimal
expression of what's possible?

I would like to present to you today a hypothesis that our present
world is a reflection of misunderstanding what life really is, what
existence really is - that all of the discord or all the suffering
and grief that we see upon our planet comes down to one single root
and if we can understand that root, if we can understand how
existence functions, what it is - ask those questions - then we
have a very good chance of starting to roll that understanding out,
into our thoughts, into our emotions, into our actions, into our
outer world.

QUESTION & ANSWER

Question from Yana Filipovich, Facilitator Training Programme
student

Yana: Where do thoughts come from? We talked about the mind being a
vessel that holds thoughts, and we talked about the nature of
thoughts (expansive / contracted) which cause us to experience this
expansion / contraction in our reality, as we choose what thoughts
to entertain. But what are thoughts? Who creates them? Where they
are coming from?

Jeddah: Good question. I am always surprised that I don't get asked
this more often! First remember that there is nothing but
Awareness. There is no possibility for anything else to arise. So
in this context, all thoughts arise from Awareness. The whole
mechanism of thought is wholly within Awareness. We speak about
Mind being a vessel so that it is easier to see that the Mind is
not, in and of itself, the culprit. Mind is a divine faculty, the
faculty that enables Awareness to create. We talk about Mind being
a vessel so we can distinguish it from the content
within it, of thought.

So now to your question, why would Awareness generate thoughts for
itself?

To generate experience. Because Mind is the faculty that enables
creation, thought is necessary to differentiate the creations.
Thought itself does not exist in one state. It can exist on all
frequencies and depending on which frequency it arises from, it
determines the nature of the thought. So for example, when thought
arises on 7th plane, it is the Mind of Pure Awareness - huge
existential thoughts which create the world, the heavens etc. They
do not resemble what we know as thought and they do not express
limitation. When it occurs on 4th plane, thought expresses the
lessons and opportunities of that plane and so on for each plane.

When it occurs on 3rd plane, it is usually associated with Earthly
life, limitation etc and expresses the degree of remembering /
forgetting that each person feels. In this context, our thoughts
represent our assumptions - that which we have believed to be true.
So on this plane, because we are not simultaneously connected to
full remembering, it feels as if thoughts are arriving from
somewhere. We forget that they are arising within us (as Awareness)
to enable the act of creation, generating contracted experience, in
order to prompt us to remember. The extent of our forgetting and
our belief will determine which thoughts we 'use' to generate an
experience. But the ability to flawlessly match our forgetting with
the perfect thoughts to prompt a remembering / learning experience
is all calculated within the intelligence of Awareness.

Amazing stuff!


NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

Jeddah's 6 Day Total Transformation Retreat
July 27 to August 1, 2010
Minnesota, USA

The Truth about Transformation will be the overall theme this
year - getting to the essence of what is true about your being and
learning to operate from there.

On each day you will receive guidance to recognize the ways in
which you have woven untruth (illusion) into your specific life
story. You will come to see all the subtle veils that keep you from
realizing that illusion is running the show.

As you distil down the stories of your life, you'll see the
essence of truth running through every moment. Truth is the design,
function, and presence by which Awareness operates. It is so
fundamental to all life that to understand any aspect of life, one
must understand the mechanics by which it operates. Only Truth has
the ability to free you from illusion, including all the
limitations and resistance you feel. Throughout the week you will
learn to re-encode your energy field with direct truth to
recalibrate your understanding.



Testimonials from last year's retreat:

"The wonderful thing about Jeddah's teachings is that they are
designed to be experienced, and not just thought about. In the
spiritual seeker community, many of us have read countless sacred
texts, and have taken course upon course in an attempt to find
Truth. Jeddah explains exactly how it works, takes your hand and
supports you patiently while you have a real experience of your
true nature." Rob Millette, USA

"If you haven't experienced yourself as divine love yet, that means
all the work you've done up to this point has been preparatory.
Jeddah is the one you've been looking for. She will help you begin
actually dismantling the metaphysical machinery seemingly holding
your consciousness in place. As it begins to shudder, you get a
glimpse of the power, depth and breadth of the love that you are.
If you give yourself honestly and earnestly to her guidance, she
will lead you to an experience of the stunning majesty and beauty
of your being. Do whatever you have to do to attend at least one of
her retreats. Just being touched by it once is enough to change you
forever. It may be subtle, but you'll know undoubtedly that you
have changed. You'll know then that no matter how long or difficult
the road may become, you'll stay true to yourself. For you'll know
that you are worth it." Trevor Uruski, USA
