It is necessary to evaluate one’s progression from realistic perspectives. At one stage of your current incarnation’s life, you were at ‘point X’. You were involved with certain props on the stage your Higher Self set for this incarnation. To use generic examples, say you were heavily involved in Game identity. You engaged in many Mid level Game activities such as dating/marriage/breeding, conformity expressions (usually regarding religion, family expectations, etc) and valuing group consensus over individual experimentation. You said and did things that were perfectly acceptable to you at that time. 

With the passage of time and experiences, you progressed beyond ‘point X’ in this incarnation. You don’t really know why except that you feel drawn to “something more” than ‘point X’ offered. You expanded your horizons, broke experiential loops and fences. Your perspectives opened up and you became aware of matters that you had no idea would matter to you at ‘point X’. 

These advances always bring about moments of reflection. The you of today, at ‘point Y’, is nothing like the you of ‘point X’. Actually, you may feel that the you of then would definitely not want to associate with the you of today. On the other hand, the you of today may not be pleased with some of the actions/ thoughts/ words of that former you. Addressing Matrix V readers, you have been bathing in a sea of vastly different, deep information not available to simultaneous Earthers. Your understanding is very different than it use to be. The props on your incarnational stage have been replaced with new ones. What to do?

First of all, know that this is what progression is all about: changes and expansion of the mind. In no way should you allow the you of ‘point X’ to hinder you today. Many people will make excuses for how they were, what they said or what they wrote back at ‘point X’ from their current position at ‘point Y’. The only valid comparison is you to yourself. Appreciate the advancements you have made. Recognizing this is what counts. It is valid to say what I said/did/wrote back then was the me of yesterday. It is equally valid to say that this is not the me of today. 

Game players will like to throw the you of ‘point X’ up to you. They are searching for ways to convince you that you are flawed. Remember when you were a religious type running to church on Sunday and reading that ‘holy’ text? Remember that testimony you gave the congregation saying that you “knew” some church held belief was the only truth? Remember when you said if it couldn’t be measured, seen and touched that it could not be real? Think of any variation to these questions. There are countless numbers of them. 

Now you have gone and read the Monroe books and followed up with the Matrix V materials. You understand the Game and manipulative functions of it far better than you ever thought you would. You are identifying yourself as a spirit far more than your body ID. Does this invalidate what you participated in at ‘point X’? Was that for nothing? No! Your Higher Self knew that you needed to progress, in this incarnation, from ‘point X’. It would give you valuable perspectives and experiences that you could not appreciate as well if you started your incarnation at ‘point Y’. Yes, you don’t agree with the you of then. THAT alone shows progress along your path. 

Second, don’t be concerned about what other people are doing on their path. Work with your own progress and experiences. Advice from anyone else is only advice. If they present their advice as a command, your internal warning flags should be waving. Only that incarnation’s Higher Self knows what shim’s incarnation needs. Remember the simultaneous path is about individual progression, not the group shit that sequentials have. Been there…done that should be a phrase kept in mind. It’s the sequential mentality that attempts to drag others back to a group consensus.

Third, be prepared for those who knew you at ‘point X’ to bring up whatever you did/said/wrote when you were there. ‘This does not agree with what you are saying today’ is how they complain as they look to trap or to coerce you back. How does one respond? You agree with them. Add that you have since gotten new information, had different experiences and expanded your mind to alter your perspectives. Also add that it’s ok if they disagree as long as they allow you to proceed with your own adventures.

One example of this is with Val on his Leading Edge site in regard to Matrix III Vol. 2. He correctly states that opinions he wrote, when the books were published, were appropriate for where he was at that time. This does not invalidate the excellent technical information in that book, yet his new perspectives allow him to see the materials differently. He could not have composed the Matrix III volumes with the mindset he has today. His Higher Self required his head to be where it was then in order to bring the Matrix III volumes out the way it was needed. 

Likewise it is with you. Your religious testimony/missionary experience/whatever was valid for you at the time. You needed that conviction of ‘point X’ to successfully bring you to ‘point Y’ and knowing today that what you did then was a Game deception. You appreciate that far more having experienced it in this incarnation than if you just read about it. 

Your past, your ‘point X’ self should never get you down or depressed. See it as a valuable experience that makes the you of ‘point Y’ all the richer for it. Change is great. Grow and learn from it. Experiment, expand, and learn. Take advantage of what EndGame has to offer. Graduation is coming.
