Dancing with Models


Models - there is a secret to dancing with them. Like Hollywood
itself, they have a special lure. They convince us that they are real.
In truth, we cannot live without them. This, however, does not make
them real. Their reality is merely a pretense. The pretense, however,
is not on the part of the model. Our unconscious belief in them gives
them a life - and power -of their own.


What Exactly Are Models?

Models are pictures of "How It is." Every time we think a thought,
feel an emotion, or experience a sensation, we use a model. They
define experience. If someone hurts our feelings, our "I-Should-
Respond-This-Way" model might say, "I am angry," "They are stupid," or
"I am sad."

   There are male and female models. Male models are left-brained,
logical and scientific. Female models are right-brained, intuitive and
artistic. Androgenous models are a healthy balance of both.

   No one dances alone. Without a model, we cannot communicate. We
cannot relate to the world. Our models allow us to make sense out of
the (apparently) chaotic energy field we call the universe or God.
Even when we are at one with God we use a model.


Pictures in the Background

All models have a basic program running in the background. These
programs are patterns - unquestioned assumptions - about what is
valuable. In fact, the basic assumption is so important that it
becomes the guiding "light" of our lives. They read like this : "Life
is all about. . . being nice [or relationships, freedom, love, bing
right, getting what I want, money, power, security, control, winning,
God, eating right, serving humanity, health, saving the planet,
clearing karma, learning, conspiracies]." This basic program is a hub;
it generates most of the particulars of a model's belief systems.


Where Do Models Come From?

Sometimes we adopt models. Many come from Hollywood. We see models of
behavior, think they are cool, and make them our own.

   On the other hand, the planetary consciousness supplies us with a
variety of innate models. For instance, our physical bodies know what
kind of mates they like and do not like. Say you meet another person.
Your model might remark, "He is too fat [/tall/energetic/old]." The
opposite traits equally apply. Or, it might say, "This one has
possibilities!" This is one of the functions of physical models.
Emotional body models evaluate others as well. They say, "He is too
mushy [/cold/pushy]," or the opposites, or "just right." Mental body
models think, "He is too slick [/slow/unimaginative]," or the
opposites. Or, it might conclude "He's just my type."

   Additionally, astrological archetypes stamp the physical, mental,
and emotional bodies with their preferences and perspectives. We
embody these archetypical models, but they are not us. (I am not a
"Virgo" [or any other sign], but I take on its traits and etheric
architecture.)


And There Are More

We may marry the gods and goddesses of our cultural myths. They tell
us how to be heroes and heroines. We believe in them. We try to
emulate their behavior.

Science, too, has its models. It offers us logical, though sometimes
arrogant, structures that we can use. These strictly left-brained
constructions explain phenomena in an orderly way. They can
objectively prove that they are right within the parameters of their
logic.

Religion bestows upon us models of morality. "To be good is to be God-
like. Our models will lead you to righteousness." When we find
ourselves judging the moral character of others, it is our religious
guide at work.

If w are open to it, fourth-dimensional (astral) entities can project
their structures into our mental and emotional bodies. They share
their models with us. Once we notice the intrusion, though, we can
simply refuse to act upon their suggestions.

Perhaps the happiest model we can play with is the innate model of our
spirit. It is our direct link to information of God and the universe.
It is pure joy and ecstasy. Curiously, society convinces us at a very
early age that spiritual models are impractical, unreliable, or
frivolous.


Universe Models

We each have Universe models. Universe models dictate how far we can
conceptually expand. We pick these up as we get chronologically older.
We also bring them with us - stashed in our cosmic memory banks - when
we incarnate into earth bodies.

   Currently, the most popular is The Materialistic Universe model. It
is a "What-You-See-Is-What-It-Is" picture of life. Many, however, are
beginning to embrace The Magical Universe model. It includes the power
of prayer, angels, "vibrations," luck, and karma. The least embraced
model is The Miraculous Universe. It considers the probability of a
steady stream of Divine Intervention (that includes the Divine
sequencing of events) into one's life.

   Materialistic models are exclusive. They do not allow us to
consider the other Universe models. They define Magical and Miraculous
events in Materialistic terms. Magical models allow the Materialistic
models, but will interpret Miraculous events within the context of the
Magical. At their worst, they define Materialistic phenomena as
Magical. This is superstition. Miraculous models make room for both
the Materialistic and Magical.


Using Models

If love is the point, we can use our understanding of models to help
us express this valuable quality more fully. If we have developed our
psychic abilities or have a keen understanding of human nature, we can
see how models use their hosts. (People are used by their models
because they give their models the permission to do so.)

   For example,say that someone is angry at you. If you can see how
their model is operating, then you can reach around (or over) the
model and touch the person. In this way we extend our love. We are the
peacemakers. A naughty model, however, can use this information to
manipulate or hurt others.

   It is possible, though, that the model may have a "No-One-Can-
Touch-Me" attitude. If this is the case, it might be best to leave
them alone. This avoids karmic interaction. Models with separative
attitudes are toxic. If we interact with them through our Personal
Will, we may suffer needlessly. There are many varieties of toxic
models. Know them by their fear-laced implications and downward
spiraling energies.


Model Feedback Loops

Imagine that your friend, Pat, rejects you for some reason. This
happens because a model whispers in Pat's ear, "Your friend did
something wrong. Hold back." The model then lists the reasons that
justifies the withdrawal of love.

   At times, however, our own models play tricks on us. They make us
believe that another person is rejecting us when, in fact, it is our
own model sending us a "Feedback Loop." A Feedback Loop occurs when
our model misperceives or invents a projection of an other. It
interprets its own fears as sourcing from someone else.

   For example, say you are at a fancy French restaurant. As the
maitre d' escorts you to your table, you stub your toe on the chair of
another patron. You "hear" the maitre d' silently comment, "Clumsy
oaf." The patron that you disturbed looks at you and smiles. You just
know he is thinking, "Jerk." You are embarrassed. If, however, you
could get into the head of the maitre d', you might hear, "Oops. I
shouldn't have led him so close to that chair." The patron might be
thinking, "I hope that didn't hurt too much." The "clumsy oaf" and
"jerk" comments were Feedback Loops. They were figments of your Social
Etiquette model's imagination.

   In short, many times we believe that our model's Feedback Loops
represent the real feelings and opinions of others. We rrely bother to
check their validity. If we did, though, it might surprise us how many
times we are experiencing a Loop. To this end, it is helpful to
practice Reality Checks with those close to us. When we feel our
friend, spouse, or team mate allegedly projecting something at us, we
can ask, "I just felt this. Is that what you are thinking [or
feeling], or is this my Loop?" Reality Checks confirm or deny the
validity of our model's suspicions and fears.


Quirks and Energies

Each model has its own unique energies. Be aware of them. Notice, for
instance, the energy of a "Winner" model. (You just won a game of
chess). Notice the energy of a "Loser" model. (You lost the game.)
Each can lead us to entirely different experiences. These energies are
the result of the opinions of our model. If their verdicts on how we
should feel do not control us, we can avoid creating polarized
situations.

   Sometimes two of our models battle it out in our heads. One
insists, "You should do this!" The other cries, "No, you should do
that!" We can settle this dilemma by understanding that arguing with
ourselves or others is a result of dueling models.


Models and Truth

Sometimes we debate or argue with other people. Although we believe
our arguments are about "The Truth" of the subject, they are, in fact,
about something else. They are about the internal, logical structuring
of our models. ("My model is right. Here's why. . . ." "No, your model
is wrong. Here's why. . . .") If we are conscious of this process,
then we can discuss anything without taking it to heart. This is how
civilized beings communicate.

   Truth is not a function of any model, but can express itself
through models. Models are not the source of Truth. Therefore, arguing
over the Truth is absurd, because the Living Truth simply IS and never
needs to justify or prove itself. Only models, hallucinating that they
possess this unpossessable entity, argue over having the absolute
Truth.


Conclusion

Whenever you are experiencing a thought or a feeling, remember t is
your model. Is it a socially, astrologically, or physically induced
model? When others are acting, remember it is their models in action.
If all actions are that of our models, where do we fit in?

   "My model sings, yet I am silent;
      It fears, while I am Peace."

   We are points of conscious Light - the animators - breathing life
into our models. When we - Light beings - incarnate into a human body,
we embody (then accumulate) a wide spectrum of models. They range from
third-dimensional biology-based models to sixth -dimensional
astrological archetypes and more. If we use them, we can accomplish
our Divine purpose with ease and grace. When they use us, we become
actors in personal dramas, earning karma, and wondering what we need
to do to get free.

   The steady practice of personalizing and identifying models can be
helpful. ("Ah, ha! There is a Deceptive model at work!") This lets us
dance more freely with them. We do not step on each other's toes as
much. Eventually, we can be free from identifying with these limited
figments of Divine imagination.
