Kate: Hello, Guy. I have a question regarding "powers and principalities," I believe you call them, and I think they can be either of higher or lower consciousness. Can you please speak of these a little? How can you detect them as they show up and how to deal with them? Sometimes it seems negative ones show up during positive moments as if to destroy them. Does this sound familiar? Thank you.
Guy: I don't know who I was talking to -- I just remember I mentioned this because of a similar comment -- where we live in southern Oregon, there's fields and there's wild mustard, and there's wildflowers. You drive along the road, it's quite beautiful. Does every flower in the field open at the same time? Does it drop its petals at the same time? So then every flower, every tree, every creature, even though it incorporates and incarnates the same principles, it does so in a time specific to that creature. A time that is determined by its creator, whatever that may be, whatever power or principality responsible for that perpetuation of itself. You can't know what you need to know before it's time to know it. You can't. But what you can live with, and what we spoke about today, is the wish. I've seen something I understand. I want to open, I want to be opened. The more a human being wants to be opened -- not because they expect some reward for being opened, but because they have seen what the cost is of remaining closed -- the more that wish is answered in a time only answered by that which put the wish in you at the same time. That's it. Until then, our mind... and it's natural, Mary, I understand this... we're all that flower in one respect or another. The mind wants to know all about this and about that, about the powers, the principalities, about all that stuff. And I'm happy often to speak of these things, but never so that we speak specifically of these things as something unto itself, but always in the greater scheme of things. Because if you don't have them in the greater scheme of things, then you're talking to yourself about something you've imagined and are deriving a sense of self from that imagination.
