Preparation for 3DI:

Knocking off Your Identity

Lecture based Questions:

1. Draw or describe a reminder or symbol of one of your helpers.

Well! I certainly hope you have the hang of this by now! You have hundreds of helpers, so take a moment to be grateful and honor one of them with a teeny short remembrance. 8-)

2. What is the Identity?

The identity is a combination of Astral and Mental thought forms. It is created out of self-image, opinions and experiences, projections from other people, attachments to things and people, and the interaction with the physical body. It accretes a crystallization of Astral matter on the parameter of the aura. When someone’s identity rules daily choices, the point of view becomes narrow. Light, blessing, and inspiration cannot enter the aura through this barrier. Eventually, the Guardian Angel precipitates events with the Awakener (Remliel) Angel to break down some of this accumulated hardness. When we are scanning a person’s aura, we can determine the Identity’s control over one’s openness by seeing how “crusty” it is. This fluctuates over the course of a year, and does not necessarily determine a person’s strength of character or good values.

3. Why is the Identity a problem?

We use the term Identity to pinpoint a specific tendency among Astral and Mental Bodies. These lower bodies like to hang onto ideas and feelings. Even though these archetypes may not be self-generated, we like to save them. The accumulation has a burdensome effect and impedes spiritual progress. Imagine dragging your whole life around with you all the time. Heavy, ain’t it? It takes many lifetimes to get the hang of discarding what is no longer useful, and it takes many more lifetimes to understand how to take what is useful and handle it in a spiritually advantageous manner. We call this burden of stockpiled thought forms the Identity. It must be dispersed before the 3DI can take place.

4. How can we control the Identity?

The Identity is controlled for us if we do not do it for ourselves. Every year the karmic cycles that include the Open Key Period work to trim down the amount of collected crystallization and allow Light to enter the aura. We can do it ourselves by educating our thinking patterns in the following manner.

• Sever cords daily. This will disentangle you from everyone except your Biune Soul Mate and your Guardian Angel.

•Retrain the way you think about everything that is not eternal—your education, your talents, your memory, your appearance, your health, your friends, your family, your possessions, your style, and your environment. Instead of calling them “mine,” you can appreciate them for the blessings that they have been in your life. If they have been challenges to you, then they are easier to change and improve without personal attachments.

5. Are there specific parts to the Identity?

Yes. You could divide the Identity into three parts—

• the conscious Identity that we consider to be our personalities

• the public Identity that other people perceive in us or project onto us

• the subconscious Identity that rules many of our choices.

The conscious Identity is primarily made up of the self-image. This is the way you perceive yourself. Self-image is reinforced through your jokes & fantasies about yourself, your habits, fears and beliefs, and the reflection that you see in the mirror. The self-image is evident in the front part of the Astral Body. This is what most people see in the Astral and Mental Worlds.

People expect you to validate their beliefs or to fulfill roles in their relationship dramas. They project these thought forms onto you, and if you are operating in unconscious mode, you will act out their projections. This is strongly tied to the physical body and family interaction. Every time someone thinks about you, the energy affects the Astral Body. The response of the Astral Body to the influence of others depends on a person’s strength of individuality. Projection influence also affects the front of the Astral Body. Cutting cords and daily meditating will act to remedy this condition.

We wear our repressed emotions on the backsides of our astral bodies, where everyone in the Astral World can see them except us. Usually this aspect of the Astral Body is unattractive or repulsive because of its unsavory nature. It takes on animal shapes, extra faces, discolorations, and body distortions that bear witness to our need for healing. Affirmations and guidance from the Guardian Angel will solve challenges related to this part of the Identity.

6. Exercise: Jewelry Box of the Mind

•Sitting comfortably so that your body does not distract you, breathe normally. Surround yourself in a mist of lavender and royal purple.

•Imagine that you are sitting at a table, and that a lovely box is on it in front of you. What is the box made of? How big is it? What does it look like?

•Open the box. Inside it is a large variety of lovely objects that represent things that you appreciate in your life and things that you want to have.

•Do not handle these things or examine them. Instead, bless them and give thanks for them. Say the following affirmation:

My life overflows with good and beautiful things, people, and opportunities.

Thank you, God for these blessings.

Thank you for the endless blessings to come.

My life improves every day, and I improve every day.
