Exchange

(From night school last night)

We found much resis-dance to typing this up and even more resis-dance to sharing it. An instant before We experienced it, We would have rejected it as absurd. Perhaps We could have accepted some parts but not the entirety. The groundwork was laid in a dream of a game with the youngstars several years ago.

There was a large group seated in bleachers in some type of auditorium or stadium. I was speaking to “them” and the dream seemed to begin in the middle or towards the end of My speech. This alone was a rather odd (or at least unfamiliar) sensation: to kind of walk in on MySelf while I was giving a speech. Imagine My surprise.

This is where it started (in My perception): I said: “I want You to divide up into pairs. You All-ready know that You can exchange bodies with each other.” I'm not sure what anyOne/everyOne else was thinking but I know what I was thinking: “I didn't know that until I said it.” The group was an odd number so that I could have someOne to partner with and somehow I knew/know that I had intentionally arranged it this way ahead of time.

Then I said: “Let's do that now”. And everyOne exchanged bodies with “their” partner. We discussed how it felt, some addressed the entire gathering and some formed/gathered into small groups and talked amongst “themSelves”. It was the general consensus that We were All/each a bit surprised that the transfer seemed to be complete and total. There was no memory or knowledge or feelings that seemed to be left in the body by the original occupant. It seemed/felt/appeared that Our entire persona transferred to the other body leaving no trace of “Us” in Our previous body.

Most/All/each of Us was quite surprised at this because We had heard/read about walk-ins and there is usually something of the previous occupant left behind. Some of Us (MySelf included) have even experienced what I call “a share-in” (which seems to be gaining more and more acknowledgment in recent years). A “share-in” (in My opinion/experience) is where the original persona/soul/whatever doesn't leave the body and a second soul enters and the two share the body. This is (or at least can be) different from multiples and splits. It may even be simply an awareness of Our multidimensionality. We may be becoming aware of different aspects/versions of OurSelves co-existing.

We mostly agreed that We held only awareness of OurSelf inside the other person's body and most of Us were surprised at that. I said: “This is because this is a different process from a walk-in or share-in. It may be similar and even related but it “is” different.

I suggested that rather than returning to Our original bodies and going on Our way, We remain in Our partners body and hang out here for some time. We All agreed to this and let time pass. How much time passed I can not say because We observed OurSelves through something like time-lapse photography.

What We observed shocked Us to Our core(s). As if observing OurSelves in time-lapse wasn't surprising enough in itSelf.

These bodies We were inhabiting were morphing slowly, subtly, and gradually over time. These borrowed/adopted bodies were shifting into the body We had left/donated to an-other. And (of course) that body was shifting into the body of the persona that occupied it. Our persona(s) or soul(s) or whatever was adapting the body to fit/reflect/complement the persona.

Somehow, watching this process We knew/experienced that We were not contained within these bodies but these bodies are contained within each of Us. (And then each of Us is contained within the whole, the One, the All that is) We experienced that these bodies are designed and formed to portray Us and be used by Us and to perform and experience in the physical.

That is why the adopted bodies We occupied changed/morphed into an exact replica of the body We had donated to Our partner. And at the same time, the body We had left was morphing into a replica of Our partner's original body.

Replica is not quite the right word but it as close as We can think of at the moment.

We woke with the knowledge (that can only be gained through experience) that We created this body to be Our tool and Our physical representation of Our personality, Our essence.

Our disclaimer is that this truth may not be everyOne's truth or even anyOne else's truth. And We may forget it by the end of the day.
