Dialogues - Conversations With My Higher Self
	Accessing a Stream of Thought <  Previous Contents Next  >

I am learning how to play the piano but it has been slow going. I am wondering if there is some sort of ‘thought stream’ of great players that I can tap into. What I want to do is just find the thought stream, tap into it in such a way that the knowledge goes directly into my mind, and my hands, like the way Trinity downloaded the instructions for the helicopter in ‘The Matrix.’ Is this possible?

Why would you want to do something like that?

So I can play all of the stuff in my head without having to go through the tedious process of repetition. I find that I have to go over and over and over and over the same stuff and then I still don’t learn it. Then I have to start all over again the next day. It would be great just to be able to download the technique.

The ‘tedious process of repetition,’ as you call it, is the creative process! It is supposed to be joyful, but you have turned it into hard work. That is why your progress is so slow! We do not want to criticize, but you need to examine the reason why you want to undertake the piano in the first place. You will find some underlying thought and belief that is not consonant with the joy and pleasure of playing your instrument.

OK, so I am not approaching the piano with the right attitude?

Relax a little bit with it. The more you relax, the easier it will be to tap into the thought stream you are looking for.

So there is a thought stream out there that I can tap into?

Yes. That is how some people pick up an instrument so quickly. There is strong desire without resistance, establishing a pure vibration and a sense of ease that allows them to quickly access their inner knowing, and enables contact with the thought streams connected to the subject.

So the reason people can pick up an instrument quickly is not because they played one in a past life and can recall how they did it?

Well, you may refer to it any way you would like! There is a stream of knowledge (thought) which can be accessed by any being on earth. It is the collection of the thoughts of all of you. Not everything in mass consciousness is bad, my friend! You need to release a little resistance there. In mass consciousness there is much beauty and creative thought. It might be said that intuition and inspiration is connection to that vast pool of thought.

OK. What about past lives? Do they exist?

You may refer to the book by Walsch that you read a few years back, Conversations with God, Volume I. In that book is a very good explanation of past lives. Essentially, past lives are the pooled experiences of every focused aspect of universal consciousness. That is why all thought and experience can be accessed by any of you. If you prefer to label it past lives, if it helps you to think of it that way, that is fine.

Past lives are not so important! We want you to know that enjoyment and power lies in the now moment.

Thanks!
