Today we're going to talk about a channeled work of his, the Book of Mastery, and what we can all learn from the words on it's pages. I've found the book quite profound, and one I'll want to read again and again and again. For in its pages is a simplicity and a wisdom I've rarely encountered, and want to be reminded of over and over again.

So today we'll talk about what we're here for, where we're going, what it all means, and why in the world "evil" in quotes even exists.

What was the spiritual awakening that occurred in 1987?
How did transmissions begin to come through.
How Paul can be resistant to transmissions and what it means.

What the divine principle of who we are or the logos of humanity really is.
What the collective agreement is we're all living under.
Why the goal ---according to the guides—is not about happiness, which is really about contentment, which is resting in the known.
Why the guides would prefer to move us into joy…and most importantly that this is all school and that we're here to learn.
Why it's not about rose-colored glasses, but really about truth.
Why thinking it's all good or dark brings us more into alignment with the dark.
Why you cannot be the light and hold another in darkness
Why judgment is fear.
What it means to live on a planet with war, and what that means.
Who is the 'small self' versus who we 'truly are'?
Why they say fear doesn't exist to the true self or the eternal self.
What it means by 'How one serves is how one is most truly realized as their true self' .
What it means to be in service.
What's the most important teaching coming through for Paul.

How does one know who they truly are and work on who you truly are.
How do we get how 'valuable' we truly are.
