The Twelfth Insight - James Redfield [78]
“What are they saying to the soldiers?” I asked Rachel.
“Listen for yourself,” she replied.
I tuned in to their conversation and instantly knew what was being communicated. The luminous people were using the Oneness Principle and Agape to merge with the soldiers, seeking to increase the consciousness of the military men, hoping they would become aware that they were walking toward danger.
Now I could see why. Forty yards ahead of them were people with weapons, hiding near a rocky mound. I caught sight of several I recognized. It was the Apocalyptics, dozens of them, readying their guns to protect something on the other side of the mound.
“They’re running right into the extremists,” I blurted, looking at Rachel and the others. They didn’t return my gaze. All eyes were resolutely focused on the group of soldiers.
I then looked at the Apocalyptics, and to my amazement saw that they, too, had dozens of luminous individuals encircling them, also attempting to lift them into a larger awareness, wanting them to find their own higher-self Connection.
I realized then that the luminous people wanted the soldiers to see something—a fork in the path ahead that would take them in a more northerly route, out of danger.
I hurried to add my own energy to the effort, going through the procedure of intending Oneness with the soldiers until I could feel the Agape with them. I tried to visualize that they would open up, feel the danger. But the soldiers seemed undeterred, increasing their pace toward the Apocalyptics.
Suddenly, I again felt that comforting sensation that I had experienced when falling as a youth, the one that told me all was going to be okay. I also saw something unusual: flickers of light surrounding the soldiers. For a moment, nothing changed. The captain of the group looked to be leading them straight to their doom. Then, his pace gradually slowed to a halt, and he waved to his men to take the northerly route to safety. A wave of celebration swept through the luminous helpers.
“How did that work?” I asked Rachel.
She said, “The soldiers were being lifted toward a Heaven consciousness, at least a little bit, so that a premonition could come through to warn them.”
“Is it a matter of people here just wishing with all their might that a particular outcome will happen?”
“No. In some situations, the best outcome to visualize is obvious. But other situations aren’t so clear. Therefore, the people here are purely seeking to join minds with those on the earthly side. Apparently, that’s all it takes. A higher consciousness always has the effect of lifting someone at a lower consciousness up to a higher level.”
She grinned at me. “As Coleman might put it, if someone who has more pathways activated in the brain merges minds with someone with fewer, the pathways in the person at the lower level tend to pop open as a result of the contagion effect. Of course, there are other ways to amplify our influence even more, as you’ll see in the next Integration. But this is the basic way it works.”
I already knew the answer but I asked the next question anyway. “What were those flickers of light around the soldiers?”
She gave me a smile. “Angels. They spontaneously come in to help, especially if we remember to request it.”
Acting as though she was in a hurry, Rachel suddenly told me there was something else I needed to see. We moved down the slope a bit farther to another area where we could see toward the east, away from Sinai. We sat down without talking and gazed out over the vista of ridges cascading down toward the desert floor.
A movement to my left attracted my attention. We could see a lone soldier stumbling down the rocks as if dazed. He looked much more luminous than the soldiers we’d seen before.
“He must be the soldier who died,” Rachel said.
The man suddenly sat down and stared into space without moving.
“What’s he doing?” I asked, then remembered to tune in. Immediately, I began to get impressions of what was happening.
