It's been said in many spiritual traditions that the human being is born with an open connection to our soul, with remembrances from our deep past.

Transition words & phrases

Over time, however, we lose that direct connection.

Through societal and parental programming and expectations.

we no longer remember where we go at night when the spirit leaves the body to refresh itself, gain knowledge, and

Jim Self has had the unique benefit of never shutting down.

Every night he goes to his soul's home place and meets with beings and ascended masters who have shown him how life in the cosmos works, including what this great shift means in very real terms.

You've had an interesting path because on one hand, you're a very intelligent, grounded, practical person that started a life in politics at a very young age.

So let's talk about Dreamtime and who you really are.

Well, you know, one of the things that happens when people come into a body, born into a body, you know, everything.

That soft spot on the top of your head, that's the connecting connection to the Creator.

And then you begin to listen to mom, dad, preacher, minister, teacher, and

They're the big ones, and I'm going to do what they say.

They're clairvoyant, they're clairsentient, they're clairaudient.

They have a very full connection to themselves and to the world around them.

And then we shut that down to do what the big ones say to do.

And it's an awkward place because people listening are very sensitive.

You know, one of the things that happens to the people who don't shut that down is they begin to be hiders in life.

They're very sensitive to the energy and to the feelings, the emotions of other people.

And so that gets to be very challenging for a lot of people.

For me, it didn't seem to affect me as much.

And the path I'm on just allowed me to continue to walk through that.

And then things like city council in San Jose and building corporations and the many other things that I've been able to do, they were just learning points along the way to begin to understand this space that I get to play in now.

If we all understood it that way, it's all just an experiment, a playground, whatever you want to call it, very much so.

So you approached each of these things with the type of boldness the average individual might have lost because of all the other voices in their heads that suppress the boldness that we are innately.

Well, I would like to say yes, but I have had my own stuff.

You know, in life, everybody's got their stuff.

And so to a great extent, see, you're always on your path.

That path is something that's very predetermined by you.

Usually when I say that, people jump up and go, what about free will?

You've created it to have all of these experiences in your life.

The free will piece is, how do you choose to experience your path?

And when you start to recognize that you choose, there's no victims.

You either turn away from your path or you stay on your path.

But sometimes people get knocked down because you're not okay.

The world around you says, and we believe that to some plus or minus extent.

You know, people said, of course, everybody buys a gift, but

it's beginning to recognize that you can't be not okay.

See, it's really an impossible thing to be not okay.

You, this internal guidance system right here is always okay.

But what we do is we look at that external world.

Mom, dad, teacher, minister, and they say, this is what we know, and

this is what the truth is, and this is how you do it.

And then we follow that path and we continue to look to our external world for our own validation and our truths, and

Either you're very sensitive and you get pushed away and you say, I'm not okay, and

Or you shut it down in many ways and step into it and just boldly go, you know, I think that's a good point you make, because, I mean, even in my own life, I've been in media since I was a kid, basically, you know, my mid, early 20s, and

I was so shy, I would have gnawed off an arm before I would have raised my hand in class.

And yet, if you can push through, like you say, it's not that the fear might not show itself, but

if you can go there anyway, that's part of that journey of boldness, isn't it?

And there's a particular piece where people lose quite often.

There's an aspect, this inner guidance system that you simply know this is my truth.

And sometimes when you start to play the game of the external world, do money, do fame, do whatever it may be for you.

We have a tendency to shut that internal guidance system down.

It's like kind of be quiet, I don't want to hear this.

I'm on my path, I'm having success or whatever.

What this shift of consciousness is about is this internal guidance system is now becoming the compass.

Now I want to backtrack a little bit because we didn't go into it.

You've had this extraordinary ability that is very rare.

When you go into Dreamtime, into the other dimensions at night, you actually have recall.

When you come back, can you tell us what you're doing over there?

And also how that information may have interfaced with putting you on your path and also making some of the other earthly decisions you've made up to what you're doing now.

See, one of the things that happens every night you go home.

You lay the body down and you say, I'm going to sleep.

You begin to disconnect the emotional, mental, spiritual body from the physical body and you go home.

And as the process of going home, you pass through a dream space.
