The Book of Freedom (Mastery Trilogy/Paul Selig #3)

by Paul Selig

Now the truth of who you are, the Divine as you, is nothing more, nothing less than the essence of the Divine that is instilled in you and in all things, that seeks its expression as what you are—underline the word what—the manifestation of the Divine as what you are in form, in field, and in expression. And that is new for Paul that we say it this way, the Divine

As we have said many times, a note that is played on a piano may exist in different octaves. You may play a note in a low octave or a high octave. You play the note in a high octave, you are in resonance with that note, and then this becomes your expression. If you see the gesture he* makes, we will call this the mudra of expression because the announcement of the Divine as you in expression must claim a world through participation in it.

Now the frequency we operate from is the Christ, and that is a level of manifestation that may be undergone in form by each of you by your agreement. And by agreement we mean resonance, not just choice, but by the alignment that follows choice. “The Christ in Manifestation” is the title of this teaching, and we will confirm its use when we wish to. Whether it is in the text or not, it is our purview to decide what is in our books. And the Christ as you, while it has been a teaching here, is widely misunderstood because you assume it to be a religious teaching, and it has never been.

The divine principle, the active principle of God, if you wish, in action, is called the Word. In the beginning was the active principle, and the manifestation of it in form is the truth of who you are. The alignment to this truth is another matter entirely. You have been gifted with free will. You assume yourself to be as you want, and you confirm your reality in consort with your fellows,

lovely man or woman.” “We will tell you what to desire, who you should be, and what you should agree to.” The True Self exists beyond conformity, and conformity is always to one thing—history. You are conforming to history by your acquiescence to it. By acquiescence we mean agreement again. “I will agree tha...

The small self cannot know this, and that is why we bring this teaching to you now. The small self cannot know it. She cannot abide in the higher field because what she has known was claimed for her in an agreement to separation.

You are born in fear, in some ways, because you operate in a field that is in agreement to fear. This is not your fault. It is not original sin, and we say that for Paul who had a question in the back of the room. But you are born in fear—not the field you hold, but the confirmation of your field within the larger intention. The manifest world has been so in agreement to fear, it is an expectation of being.

fraught with fear and inherits the information that was created in fear, you have separation. The Divine that is the child is still as present as it ever was, but the confirmation of its reality has been confirmed by the collective, and the collective has decided what will be so.

Neither is so. To be fully realized as the True Self, the Divine as what you are, requires one thing—to surrender to what you have always been at the cost of the known. “Behold, I make all things new” has been the teaching, and the surrender and acquiescence to the true nature of your being and its expression is what

only to eradicate fear, but to see it for what it is—a great liar. And, again, we say, in truth a lie will not be held.

them, what you begin to perceive is a new field, a new world beginning to express that is operating outside of fear. This is a reality already. This is not something that is fixed. You are moving into another level of agreement with the common field wherein you lift it to its true nature, which does not align to fear.

“On this day we claim that the ones we see before us, the ones in encounter with these words, will be known by us in the higher octave that they abide in. And as we agree to this, as we say these words, we confirm each one of them to align to their higher nature in embodiment. We know who you are in truth. We know what you are in truth. We know how you serve in truth. You are free. You are free. You are

Dominion, you see, is creation in action. And your dominion is to claim your world. But if you claim it as a small self, you incur what the small self needs to learn, and perhaps will learn through in a high way. But when you claim as the True Self, you claim love, you claim freedom, you

claim truth, and its manifestation will teach you in wonder.

The alignment you hold does not take away choice. It simply aligns choice in the vibration of truth. Understand what this means, friends. To be in alignment to truth informing your choices means you don’t choose in fear, you are not operating in history, you are not operating in a reliance on reason, but in alignment to the True Self, who always seeks expression and will say yes to that which it requires to realize itself through.

As some of you come to us seeking instruction, you are seeking validation for who you are as a small self. “Tell me I am doing it right.” “Tell me I am worthy of this journey.” And while we may say these things to you, you have emblemized us and are acting in fear, in some ways, that your journey is not under your own purview as a True Self, and in fact it is.

“I may be more than I am, or more than I have known myself as.” And as this is understood and integrated by the small self, opportunities arise for the small self to begin to claim her identity in consort with the possibility that there is much more to her than perhaps she has ever known.

Now when we teach you about the gateway to the True Self and how it presents itself, you must understand that the True Self is present. She is not to be sought. He is not to be looked out for as if he is just around the bend, or she is waiting for you somewhere else. When we said waiting in the wings, this means she is with you and as you. And her announcement “I am here, I am here, I am here,” which we have previously explained in prior text* is the True Self announcing its purview, she only seeks to be known and aligned to and as, so that her purview is claimed with you. Underline the word with.

The Word, as we have announced it, is the energy of the Creator in action. This is the attunement to the Word:

am Word through my body. Word I am Word. I am Word through my vibration. Word I am Word. I am Word through my knowing of myself as Word. Word I am Word.”

I am Word through the one I see before me, I am Word through all that I may know and see”—in

The palpable frequency of the Word may be known through you.

You have understood surrender in some ways, but the truth of surrender is acceptance, acceptance of the self and all aspects of the self, because nothing can really be moved until it is aligned to and allowed to be moved to a higher way. If you accept another, like him or not, agree with him or not, you can go into an agreement with who and what she is outside of the small self’s prescriptions. If you judge another, you have every right to believe that you judge yourself in the same fashion. And if you give permission to the True Self to support you in this way, you will find very quickly that you can know yourself without judgment with the support of the aspect of you that would find it impossible to judge.

The claim “I am free” is announced by the True Self. We do it three times for every aspect of being that you may know yourself as. Just as we said, “I am Word through my body, I am Word through my vibration, I am Word through my knowing myself,” the thrice announcement “I am free” aligns every aspect of you to the high truth that is present as you in this agreement to

The truth of your being recognizes the truth in everybody else. Requirements are made by you to support fear, and as you decide to release fear, you release the requirements of it.

“On this day I choose to realize myself in a collective field of love. The collective field of love exists beyond any illusions of fear or separation that my small self might endow it with. And this collective field is connected to a larger field that I understand as my community, and then my country. As I align that the being that I am is in support of the whole, I can claim the liberation of the country I live in, and, in fact, the whole civilization of the world as in liberation. And here are the words I will use: You are free. You are free. You are free.”

Your realization that every human being upon this globe, like them or not, agree with them or not, is of God, or whatever you want to call God as, claims the truth, the very, very truth of their being. And that being, as you know, is free. Now we are not necessarily speaking of freedom from economic strife, although we would say that that can be seen as a creation of fear. We

are speaking of liberation on a high level, and the knowing of the True Self in its full expression, which cannot align to the violence or fear-based choices that have been made throughout history to define a culture, or a country, or a community, or perhaps even a family.

ascended masters? Are we Melchizedek? Are we the Christ? The way you would delineate the who that we are in most ways would seek to conform to what you want us to be. Are we your angels? Are we your Guides? In truth, we are the True Self, the highest self that may be known in manifestation. As we were once in form, and most of us were, we learned the lessons of this plane and we assumed ourselves, as a result of these lessons, in a higher octave to support the evolution of humanity. The Melchizedek tribe or priesthood, if you wish, is sequential. We are always present on this plane in this work. We have agreed to it and we do this for our own benefit as well.

Every trajectory of every choice ripples beyond the obvious. The spouse of your neighbor, who releases his wife and then goes off to have three more children with yet another spouse, claims other people into manifestation on this plane, and then the world is changed by their presence. You don’t understand, yet, that even when you smile at a stranger, you may have changed the course of history. You do not see this, but you will when this life is ended and you witness your life as you have claimed it. You will realize that the response to that one smile saved someone’s life, offered him an opportunity, perhaps, to make a different choice than he would

This is not about feeling anything. This is simply about the level of octave and manifestation that you realize yourselves through. The Christ as you—not the Christ as the man on the cross, the Christ as you—not the man who walked upon the water and how you would emblazon him with meaning as the one you should emulate, may be well taken if you understand the truth of the message. The Kingdom is here.

am free of what I’ve been taught, the names I have been called, the edicts placed upon me. I am free of the limitations that the collective has used to inhibit my expression. I am free of the renunciation of my fellows as separate from me. And I am free of the fear that I may be known and come to terms with my true nature as the divine being I have always been.”

The temptation in a teaching like this is to attempt to misuse it. “He said I was God, they’re not very evolved, maybe one day they will be, but until then I am the only God around” supports the small self in a mask of separation that comes at great cost. The moment you think that you are above another, you are below them. Do you hear those words? We are not speaking of status. We are speaking of vibration. And to tell another who he should be by your prescription is in some ways to do exactly that.

A: Yes and no. You are and you can. They are not distinct. You can be the light and still receive the light. Do you understand this? The Christed Self is the truth of your being, but it is not in expression yet in its fullness as who and what you are. To allow that to be is to receive and to align through that reception to its purview. This is the quote. We will use it. “You do not become the Christ. The Christ becomes you.” And your realization of it in its expression is its reception

as and through you that breaks down or reclaims that which has been placed in fear before the True Self. The expression of the Christ is what transforms the world, and it begins with you. Period.

Q: For a person who is empathic, when you are in another person’s field and you immediately, automatically, feel what they’re feeling and you feel they’re in a physical pain or an emotional pain like guilt or sadness or control, the very fact that you are perceiving that level, does that suggest that you are operating on the lower level, and if so, if you are operating only in the higher octave, would you only perceive their True Self empathically?

A: We have two things to say because it is a good question that has not been asked before. You are not confirming the negative by recognizing it. To pretend it’s not there would be doing a disservice. “Well, she’s a divine being. It doesn’t matter that she wants to jump off the roof.” That’s ridiculous. She is a divine being, and she’s so frightened she wants to jump off the roof. The recognition of the Divine will support you in claiming her back, but you don’t pretend that the other issue is not present. You don’t have to agree with it, which means to move into vibrational accord to it and confirm it for them, which is what they may be wanting. “Tell me it’s not worth living.” “Well, if you don’t want to live, you don’t have to” is actually an honest response, “but the idea that you are not worthy of living is preposterous because the Divine as you is here, no matter what you think.” You should all understand this. The claim “I know who you are, I know what you are, I know how you serve” is always true because it is claimed at the level of the True Self to the True

this? You are not making them happy. You are not convincing them to be wrong about what you think they are. You are actually bypassing that and claiming what is always true. At this level the transformation may occur in ways you cannot even imagine. It’s the difference between realizing another as capable of change ...

To run away from history is not at all the same thing as releasing history. To deny history is not the same thing as moving beyond it as the source of your creations. Perhaps your mother did beat you, perhaps your husband was unkind, perhaps you were harmed as a child. While we don’t deny that these things happened, we do say that how you attend to them decides the life you live with and for you. You are participatory to all of your choices—high, and low, and in between. And incarceration by you, in all cases, is to assume that you are a prisoner of what has been chosen prior.

To amend behavior is to transform behavior. It is not saying you are sorry, it is literally deciding that what was done will not be done because there is no requirement for it. The action of fear is to claim

You wish to protect the choices you like. “I will do it my way. I know it’s not the high way, but it’s what I want.” And you confirm behavior or activity or actions against others because they are convenient to you at the cost of what you know to be true or a higher way of being. To go into agreement with the True Self is to be in partnership with it, and, as you get comfortable in this partnership, you will actually find that the True Self emerges as the stronger partner, loving you each step of the way. You are not alone or being annihilated. You are being cared for, and, as we have said prior in our teachings, you are assumed by the True Self in your agreement to be as her.

We want you all to understand what a mudra is. It is a significant gesture that informs the

energetic field and has its own manifestation in the material realm. The mudra of creation is a very simple gesture. If you put your hands before you and call one forth toward you in a circular motion and then the other, as if you are calling things to you in two circles that may not be meeting at the same time, but operating in concurrent ways, you will understand the gesture itself.

In potential all things are possible. In potential all things may be claimed.

“as within, so without,”

What was not possible in the small self’s world may well be possible in the world that the True Self expresses in. You have heard tales of heaven. You think things, they become so. The imagination rules. All things may be known. In some ways, this is parable. In some ways, this is so. But it is an exemplar of manifestation outside of the density of form, which would ask you to disagree with anything that can be known beyond it.

The idealization of a finishing line at the end of this journey must briefly be discussed. Perhaps there is one, but we haven’t found it yet. Everything is in motion, and the reconciliation to the reality you live in as you progress in form and in field is what you will be attending to through the alignments you are aligning as, with, as a result of this teaching. Each of you decides in a higher way what it means to be the True Self, and in fact none of you truly know until its realization as you has made you new. To be made new is to be realized in a higher way. It does not mean you become enlightened and are participatory to the orbs in the sky and speaking with the grass upon the ground. It may well mean that you are aligning to the most potential you can hold in form in the incarnation you are attending to.

We have said for some time that you are way-showers, that you cut away the underbrush of the paths you walk on with your machetes in order to create the room for those who would come behind you. You lay a path through your progress, through your teachings, through your willingness to disobey the law—and we say this intentionally. Any mandate that would prescribe what can be, and is only allowed to be, you may call a law. And if it is there, imagine,

There is no fear of alligators. It is just not so wise to have a swim with them. Do you understand the difference?
