I'm going to save the world. I am going to change the way that everyone behaves and thinks.
Should we believe ourselves to be in the right position to change others and tell them how to lead their lives - this is first thing that happens upon Awakening.
It is becoming clearer how little we can directly change others around us. They will change when they are ready. The most important person on the planet is YOU - it is YOU that must change first - for the better. Others will notice.
Individuals develop their own characters, identities, habits based on their chosen set of circumstances. Looking at the bigger picture, people feel comfortable repeating patterns of behaviour because it is a reflex or responsive action that they have learnt over time. They know only of one way to act in any given circumstance that happens to them.
Throw a ball at someone, they catch it. Shout at someone, they get upset. Ignore someone, they feel insecure.
Through experiencing an emotional or painful event, the survival instinct kicks in and we store a memory to assist us the next time the event occurs. So the next time we feel like someone is going to threaten us in some way, we anticipate and prepare our body for the experience in advance. We use the memory of the previous experience in readiness to what we believe is going to happen. This is a fear response and it can make us quite ill through thought alone.
Daily, we have many such fear responses, but extremely few anticipated events actually take place. So we live a life in fear of what might happen, what if, be careful, don’t do that in case, what if they think badly of me, what if I upset them, they might be worried, they might get angry.
We are not responsible for anyone else’s behaviour or emotions. That is a choice made by the other individuals and they have a right to respond in a manner of their choosing. By denying someone the facts, by with-holding the truth, by not stating the full story – we are actually disempowering someone the right to make a fully informed decision.
But then again, some people are not ready to hear all that is to be heard – so this creates a conflict inside us. We store this as a blocked emotion. By working on our 'blocked emotions' we can change our fear response - this is where we can ‘choose to lose’.
Eratoo used these words :
We will not ever choose to lie to you because that would create mistrust. However, we may choose not to reveal information to you that we do not believe would be in your best interest at this point. You might say that a parent does not choose to tell a small child about all that goes on in the world until they have a sufficient level of understanding to deal with the information.
So what do we do instead, we choose to behave in the best way that we feel is right for the circumstances.
We can choose that we don’t have to follow the expected or learnt pattern. !!!!
So next, when they throw a ball, don’t catch it. When they shout at you, don’t get upset. When they ignore you, don’t feel insecure. All is choice - it just requires breaking the habit.
The higher path is always the best one to take. Others will know this to be true no matter how it makes them feel.
Be true to your Self – others will follow. That's how the world will be saved.

esseya - you are already lighting the path so that others may follow and for that you have ALL our gratitude.
Shirley Humphreys- Battie channelling Enoch:
Enoch: “We ask that you seek those gifts, those assets, those talents, within another, and surely you will find something to admire, something even if it is beautiful hair, or a straight nose or whatever you feel is a gift, or if it is a talent that goes with it all the better, we are not asking you to tell untruths, only that you are sincere, and that you genuinely admire those talents in another.
Speaker: If you have somebody who is very headstrong or very strong willed and you can see the path that they’re going on and you want to warn them, or speak to them regarding that particular path, is there a particular approach that you can use to do so?
Enoch: “Again, this depends on each individual situation. In general, advising caution often has no effect whatsoever, but you see each individual has the right to choose its path whether it is considered to be a wrong one by another it is all a learning process. Maybe it was part of their Plan, on another level, that they do rush headlong into something that is not apparently to their advantage in order that they might learn from that experience. I’m not asking you to choose another’s pathway. Just that where you see good you give voice to what you see.
“You can obviously caution in a sense, but it would be wise to look further. You see where one is bent on going into situations they will go, whatever you say. There are others of course who if you advise a course of action they will always choose the opposite so you might make the situation even worse. You surely have come across this in others. Allow others around you to make their own mistakes.
“Of course you are going to say yes, but if we have children we need to caution them, but this is another matter, is it not? It is part of the training that you have to be parents, and that is how they will learn. You would not tell a toddler or a baby learning to walk not to do so because it might fall over. You allow it to fall over, so that it can learn how not to next time, is that not so? And those children who are learning to ride bicycles for the first time, you know they will have a tumble, but it is only by trying that they will learn how not to have a tumble.
Speaker: It has to be their experience
Enoch: “Exactly. And this is the truth also for adults”
