For those interested in such things…
Asking what your highest and best self would do is asking for your guidance system to kick in. You have a great guidance system. The problem entities have with their guidance system is that it must be activated. It is an entity that is yourself at a future time, in terms of your third-density physics. It is yourself in the midst of sixth density. This instrument calls her guidance system the Holy Spirit, or Holly. Other entities call their guidance system a guidance system, or their guru, or any of a number of other constructions in which guidance is explained, one way or another. But it is actually quite a complex web of entities. Certainly, chief among them is the Creator-driven version of yourself, moving back to you from sixth density. But you have picked up many entities from the inner planes, as this instrument would call them, who have been attracted to you because of the beauty of your hope and faith, or because of the kind of mission that you came into incarnation to pursue, or for any of a number of other reasons, resulting in the opinion of inner-planes entities that you are a person that they would like to help. They range from tiny children who simply want to help you find lost things to the most wonderful and complex personalities, masters, gurus or entities of that type from various of the inner planes that have been drawn to you because they feel they might be able to prove to be a resource in your own process. Some of these entities have names, some of them are simply energies or essences. Some of them speak in ways such as we do, in concepts which come up through the subconscious mind. Some of them speak through coincidence, birds, animals or street signs, using your environment to find ways to communicate a word or a concept or a feeling with you. Some of them speak to you in sleep and some, such as we, are there during meditation if you ask us to join you so that we may deepen the stability of your basic meditative state.
It is a tremendous resource to ask yourself what your best self would do in a triggered situation. You may not be able to use that information at the present time; it takes some repetition to learn how to stop the tape before it has finished its roll. You may have to listen to that tape all the way through once again, but, when you have been through this process, you are at least listening to the tape consciously, aware that you are no longer in consensus reality: you are playing a tape. That is all it is. It is a piece of information frozen in its original distorted form for you to play again and again until you finally get what is on that tape.
In a way, it is as if pain were a joke and when you finally get the joke, the laughter clears the pain. It is not that you are a joke or that suffering is a joke. It is that you are dwelling in a thoroughgoing illusion. The things that occur to you are in the nature of a parable or story. You think, if you do not look closely, that you are simply experiencing the surface of life and yet life has innumerable levels. And depending upon the clarity of your consciousness and your comfort level within yourself, you are very capable of moving quickly through many layers of reality, moving from surface illusion into any number of levels that are more real than the surface illusion. You can at one time be in a cartoon, a carnival, a school, and a temple. All of these environments are layered within you and all are equally valid. In fact, you have an infinite array of valid points of view.
This session contains other useful information about entering the heart, responding to triggering events, being what you are and other topics.
