Here in Breath. Every Breath. No mind to Refract Reality.

How An Elf Becomes, So Simple Mix

(If you want to first know “what’s an elf?”, check that out first, keen traveler…this article isn’t a definition of elf but a how-to become one.)

Okay potential Elves, we’re going to keep this simple. You can feel free to fill in the blanks and complexify later like a sly alligator. In order to transform into an Elf (that is, a new human), you may complete the following, or their equivalents.

 

 

  1. Purify/De-program/Neutralize the [programming of the] Physical Body
  2. Purify/De-program/Neutralize the [programming of the] Emotional Body
  3. Purify/De-program/Neutralize the [programming of the] Mental Body
  4. ACT and BEHAVE like a Sovereign Elf.

 

C’est tout, as they say in French, or, “that’s it”.

 

How An Elf Becomes, Minorly De-tailed Mix

 Okay, you want concrete details, special specifics, particular particularities? They’re really not necessary, as the task is yours to create, discover and unveil, but we will briefly oblige with suggestions, hints, and foci:

 

  1. Purifying/De-programming the physical body requires that a) you stop putting toxins INTO the bodyand b) you take actions to expel all accumulated toxins (and if you live on planet earth, you definitely have accumulated toxins). Toxins in the physical body are accumulated hundreds of ways, including what we eat, inhale or otherwise come into contact with in our environments. While obvious ingested toxins include alcohol or drugs, it is important to become aware of the massive amounts of toxins hidden in the everyday foods we eat and to stop eating them, and the everyday personal care items we use, and stop using them. We will leave it up to your investigative efforts to ascertain more here, although we will say moving towards a pure, whole foods organic diet is helpful.

    This step must be taken in tandem with steps 2 and 3 or it will be short-lived. This process takes a lot of time, as there are many layers of toxins built up in the body from childhood onwards that have been stored in the body. Often as one begins their detox, one will seem more sick than they were, as the process means toxins are being released from where they were stored and expelled – this stirring up often creates physical symptoms of various illnesses and pain. Detox symptoms will usually pass if the body is supported with alive food, although everyone experiences this process differently, and we must highlight that careful research into your own body and its processes and needs is necessary here.

  2. Purifying the emotional body requires that youa) begin a practice of emitting / emanating the coherent emotions we call the heart virtues. These are: appreciation, compassion, forgiveness, humility, understanding and valor (although they can be categorized or described other ways and with myriad labels). Expressing these virtues into all areas of your life is a life-long practice, and for a highly intelligent and highly recommended guide, see “Living From the Heart” in the download section of www.eventtemples.com. The heart virtues are otherwise known as Unconditional Love – being coherent.

    And b) That you actively begin to transmute (aka change / integrate / encompass / dissolve / neutralize) all lower frequency emotional toxins (such as hate, greed, resentment, despair, hopelessness, apathy) through a relevant process that works for you. Integrating these emotions means taking what was formerly “suppressed” or rejected and inviting them into the Neutral Heart so their “stagnant” or “stuck” energy is released. This purifying process also takes awhile and patience is recommended, as old emotional patterns are “calcified” and “layered” and so to release them all takes time, focus and diligence.

  3. Purifying the mental body requires that youa) identify all beliefs and mental frameworks that are negative, limiting, narrow, enslaving, dysfunctional, or destructive to self and others, and work to dissolve their influence in your life and

    b) that you focus the incredible powers of the mental sphere on thoughts and beliefs that assist you to completely Re-conceptualize Reality, to join the WE consciousness. These beliefs and worldviews will be expansive, inclusive, visionary, and beneficial to all beings and non-beings. and

    c) that you begin a practice of some form of meditation/breathwork that connects you to the stillness and SILENCE beyond the mind’s thoughts and movements, so the entire Human Mind System can be de-programmed. We recommend Quantum Pause. The mental body (the mind) is designed to be used as a winged tool to imagine realities that are new, innovative and beneficial to all beings: the mind is winged. If the mind is instead allowed to re-play negative mental “tapes” and “programs”, dysfunction in the behaviour world and emotional world results. The mind must therefore be either SILENT, or if engaged, focused on the higher mythic imagination used for beneficial creation.

  4. ACTING and BEHAVING like a Sovereign Elf means that your actions and behaviours begin to be motivated by the heart virtues, and are intended to be liberating to all, as opposed to re-actions that are undertaken motivated by fear, survivalist tactics, or any other lower frequency emotion to support an “agenda”. Love is Action, all else is Reaction. All sovereign actions have as their First Point the core frequencies of equality and oneness and are taken/given without expectation or agenda. To figure out if you are Acting motivated by Love or Re-acting motivated by non-Love, you can simply ask yourself this question, authentically and sincerely, and answer yourself, authentically and sincerely. “Why am I doing this? Why am I saying this?” “What is my agenda here?” Sometimes we try to trick ourselves into believing we are acting for someone’s benefit when we are really acting from fear. Self-honesty must be brutal and complete.

So, simplified, STOP generating and absorbing toxins/programs/dysfunctions (be they emotional, mental or physical), and instead, absorb and generate that which is PURE, neutral and Sovereign, from the Source. Toxins / Dysfunctions are anything that are life-destructive, and that which is PURE is anything which is life-enhancing, although that is a deceptively simple statement on on one level it is not quite true. However for the purposes of this introduction, the statement will suffice.

Good Luck becoming pure and crossing the bridge.

What’s on the other side of the bridge, we all want to know? Good Question. What’s your answer? We’ll share our perspective in another post.
