Beyond the known realization - Paul Selig

In the upper classroom, where we now teach you, the new is present, but at the cost of the old. You may find your favorite dish in the Upper Room, but please do not be surprised if what is available to you there may be something untasted, something you may enjoy and learn through. The transition from choosing from the old to the new in equal ways is a gift, but it must be understood. When you take an elevator between floors, you understand that when you get off the elevator you are in a different schemata, a different place with different things available to you. What is offered in the higher floor was not available in the lower, so stop seeking it there.

As the one in choice in a new opportunity, you may encourage the self that is choosing to be in the alignment to its greatest good. If every choice made is made in agreement to one’s greatest good, there is no fault in choice. “Well, how do we know this? How do we know if how we choose is of a great choice, a goodness, a new possibility in a high way?” Very, very simply. It is not chosen in fear, and it is not chosen through thumbing through the options that you had yesterday. Imagine going to dine and asking for the special of the day. “What is the new thing available to me, and how may I experience it?” This is the way to operate in the new way, in freedom of choice.

Now, once a choice is decided upon, you must be in a position to receive what you have claimed. How is this done? Through agreement to receive it. Paul is seeing the image of a car driving up to a window where you place your order into a machine. “I will take two of these and one of that,” you may say into the speaker, and you have every expectation of receiving what you have ordered when you pass the window of delivery. That is expectation.

Now, when you operate in the high floor, there is less density, and, because you are not choosing in fear, or in pride, or in greed, or in anxiety, or in doubt of your own worth, you can expect to receive what you’ve ordered. He asks for an example. “I wish a relationship that is supportive in every way. I wish to grow through this relationship with another in love and passion and friendship and faith.” Well, if that is what you wish to order, you must concede two things. It is available, and you can have it. Do you understand that? Back to the drivethrough window. “I would like the filet mignon and the lobster tail and a side of drawn butter. I will have the finest wine in a bucket of ice and I expect to receive it by the time I drive to the reception window.” The small self may place that order, but the order is incongruous with what can be received at the fast-food diner. You go elsewhere for that, where your expectation may be met. If you cannot receive what you have claimed, be it the lobster tail or the perfect
