B. We’ve outlined an itinerary for your trip. Day Star, actually, did much
of it, as she felt she knew what Kairissi would like.
E. Hey, don’t mind me, I’m just the guy who carries her luggage.
D. (smiling) I had you in mind, too, Elenchus, but since I know it’s your
great pleasure to please Kairissi, I considered her feelings first.
E. (smiling) I think I’ve been charmingly put in my place.
K. (small smile) It’s ok, Day Star, I’ll convince him later.
D. Of course, that’s normal. Now then, Big Water and I looked at various
options: a stormy and brief marriage during young adulthood; a stressful
affair during middle age; finding each other later in life, near the end.
B. Eventually, we discarded all of these as the required “payment” of
suffering we spoke of seemed too high, or the benefit too meager.
D. But, then I thought – what about childhood? If we arranged for you
to be the classic “girl and boy next door,” you could grow up together –
we might get away with a nice span of years, even until you’re 18. That’s
quite a long time.
E. But… what about the compensating “payment” for that long time?
D. Here’s the good part: much of youth, in any case, is spent in a state
of low-level awareness.
K. Especially for boys?
D. Especially for boys.
B. (softly laughing) I think we need attorney representation for the boys.
D. And since young boys can be near-comatose when it comes to young
girls, even though she might be somewhat aware of him, his nonresponse
will discourage her and rain on her parade for some time, keeping her at bay. This lack of substantial awareness, on the part of both, will cause the “interest” on that required payment of suffering to grow at quite a slow rate; which means you can spend more time together – occasionally interact together, for some years, with little detriment.
B. Allow me to comment on this. The Earth-culture, in songs and movies,
commonly makes reference to the “boy and girl next door.” One pop-culture example comes to mind – the film, “My Girl.” There’s
a reason for this “boy and girl next door” ubiquity. It is not unusual for
members of a soul-group to travel to the Earth together and live near
each other; they do so because, as soul-group members in their pre-mortal state, they already care for each other as a close-knit family. And
so it will be with your Earth-mission. Day Star and I will be coordinating
trip-plans with the Spirit Guides of others in your soul-group.
K. I like that. This would mean that some of our Earth friends and
relatives will be people we already love.
D. You’ll feel closer to them than others but won’t know why.
B. As you will have temporarily lost your Summerland-memories, it will
all be a kind of grand “masquerade ball” with everyone living behind a
mask; however, if one sufficiently matures while on Earth and becomes
“present” to one’s higher self, a time will come when these “secret loved
ones” might be sensed to be who they really are – the ultimate example
of which would be recognizing a Twin Soul.
K. I’m starting to see how this works. Because Twins are members of the
same soul-group, they and other soul-group members might live near
each other – and this is why the “girl and boy next door” principle is so
common in the Earth pop-culture.
D. It’s a big factor. Big Water and I believe that this often-used format is
the best way to accomplish what you want. I think it can work for you
because children’s systemic low-level awareness will keep the “interest”
on the “suffering payment” from approaching hyper-inflation.
K. (sighing) Ok, but… if that young boy is so “comatose” while growing
up, then, where will the truly happy moments come from that I asked
for?
D. It’s a little problematic, but I think we can make it work for you. You
are Twins; that won’t change – you’ll still share the most powerful bond
in the universe. Here’s what your Guides can do to cause a momentary
“break in the clouds” of the small ego. We can arrange a few special
situations, some “peak experiences” as Maslow called them, which will
precipitate an extreme joy, such that, even his young-boy unawareness
will not be able to block the happiness.
K. (sighing) I’ll be his “My Girl” – but without too many parades or
pageantry.
B. We’ll have to hold the confetti for now. At age 18 it’s best that you go
your separate ways; but, many years later, nearer the end, we will again
arrange a brief meeting – one of great and explosive joy; this time, to
effect an “opening of the eyes” – which will cause both of you to be
catapulted into much higher levels of consciousness.
D. There is, however, a downside to this later meeting. While you will
not be allowed to stay together after this concourse, it will elicit from
you such profound and mystical perceptions of joy and wholeness that
much of your remaining time on Earth will be spent severely grieving the
absence of the other.
E. I now see how the “payment” will come due.
B. It’s what we warned about – and we’ll want to strictly manage it.
D. It is the sorrow that can easily run to excess.
K. (sighing) I know we can’t get all we want. I do like the part about being
the classic “girl and boy next door” – at least we’ll have that; and even
though we won’t be romantic mates, at least we’ll be able to share some
of the experiences of childhood. What do you think, Elenchus?
E. I like the idea of growing up close by. I will say, though, the prospect
of suffering later in life, when I finally perceive that I’ve lost “My Girl,”
seems very real to me. I can already sense the pain.
D. Dear brother, your suffering will not last forever. And we will be
helping as we can.
