ORIGIN OF MIND FROM ARCTURUS – by Shirley Battie
“I have studied the minds of men; I studied their ways of thinking and was surprised how little was the application to the origins of things. We will attempt to stimulate the mind, to stimulate the questing for knowledge. We ask you to consider within yourselves from whence you came.  We are not speaking of previous lives.  We are speaking of the origins of your being, the essence of your soul. How did this begin? When was the commencement?  At what time did we begin your succession of existences?

We will attempt to throw some enlightenment upon this area.  You are all part of One Mind, you originated from Mind, a Mind that conceived of all.  Here we do not wish you to be confused, for there is even more than The Mind, that which conceived the Mind and created that Mind, that created in its turn.  It is an ever enlarging process, but we speak for now of the Mind that created you, your mind, your essence, your soul. It is not unknown in thinking patterns among philosophers today that we create what our minds wish to create. What is unknown is that upon your conception, your first stirrings as a thinking being you were all equal in thought and content.

 You were all alike, there were no differences. You were set out upon your journey in many diverse directions and dispatched to diverse areas of many universes.  You took form and shape according to where you touched upon matter. From then onwards your thinking and your mind power adapted to surroundings in which it found itself and became modified, followed many different channels and different concepts of being.

 There are many aspects of mind that took no physical form but continued according to the thought that surrounded it and according to the areas of Creation in which it found itself. We speak here of colours and shapes and musical vibrations, many aspects. Those who dwelt within the aspects of the realms of colour alone will not remove themselves from that area and will continue.  They interact with minds which have taken form.

 You understand we are speaking of your early origins. We are not speaking of your past lives upon this planet or any other early beginnings.  We are speaking of aeons of time. With the passing of time, which in itself is a contradiction, there was progression.  Many forms took shape, many forms created a physical appearance to put into action that which the mind craved.  The mind forever seeks something fresh and something new.  It is forever striving to encompass that which that mind conceives.  It is not content to remain static.

 We are bringing this concept of originality closer to your understanding. You will forgive me if I gloss over the physics of the mind.There are many who might ask for proof of what I am saying. There will be those in times to come who will provide the proof. That time is not yet, which is why we speak of concepts. Here we are giving you concepts to consider.

 Many upon your planet did not originate on the planet,the planet which you call Earth.  Many did not originate from within your Universe, but have enjoyed and experienced other realms of being and having exhausted all possibilities in those other areas have decided to expand their knowledge. We repeat it is an expansion forever outgoing. The mind will travel far from that original – – -, we will use the term ‘birth’, from the original creation.

So you find yourselves upon your planet Earth where you find many areas and many aspects to experience and to enjoy. Those who consider this area of being will have many questions as to why this lifetime here is such a trial of strength and endurance to so many.  We come back to the original concept that mind wishes to experience all that it is possible to experience to enable it to continue ever upwards, ever onwards.  It is a mistake for each soul incarnated on Earth to consider the trials only as something to be suffered.  If your experiences are viewed with an attitude that says, this is a new experience,one that will pass and one that will help me to have a fresh outlook, a greater strength for my next experience. Not so easy we know when you are close to your experiences, have no memory and have no belief that this is so. The objective of my talk is to encourage all to consider that their lives are but one tiny facet of many.  

To give hope that each experience is geared to improving and making enjoyable all experiences, if viewed in a positive light.”
