Valence questions, aura layers and symbols

The idea at the heart of this classSymbols

Symbols: many pictures in one A great fan of nine tiles opens upward from a round cream hub low on the plate and fills everything above it; at rest the tiles are muted. First a layered pink rose sits in the hub, and small lights run down from it to the bottom edge. Then the nine tiles open in full colour, each a small scene made only of colour masses: a disc low on a band, a horizon under a pale sun, stripes, a peak under a small disc, a field split in two. They fold back into the hub, and one emblem stays there: a disc made of their colours with a gold rim. Then a toothed rim in three pulling colours, wine, ochre and violet, rings the emblem; then the whole emblem comes apart, its rim and its nine coloured pieces drifting away and fading, and in its place a gold sun forms, a gold disc with a cream heart and a ring of rays, and the whole fan fills with gold. Then the tiles open again round the emblem, and a pink cord runs from the hub to the bottom edge with lights draining down it, labelled extra charge drains. Last two small standing marks appear at the bottom corners, apricot on the left and blue on the right; the emblem opens into warm scenes over the left half toward one, labelled suits one's work, and cool scenes over the right half toward the other, labelled unwanted there. extra charge drains suits one's workunwanted there a rose: a neutral, gentle symbolmany picturesfolded into one symbola symbol, charged with meaningsdestroyed; a gold sun refillsseen with the sixth, read with the seventhone symbol, two people

This class’s practice

Reading a symbol from the seventh layer

5 steps, playing in turn. Choose a number to hold one.

Reset the crown to gold, since the teacher advises always working from gold with symbols.

CTL2 Class 20, supplement recording, 27:38 to 43:52

Light up the seventh layer of the aura and look for symbols there, such as a spear or three Greek-style columns.

CTL2 Class 20, supplement recording, 27:38 to 43:52

Pick one and, read it not like a picture but by going into the knowingness of the crown.

It may bring many pictures and information. If the symbol is extra charged, you can drain the excess energy.

After checking grounding and trance, mock up a second symbol, such as the moon, and ask what it means to you.

The associations are not a dictionary; the symbol is read for the person and context in front of the reader.

The lesson answers doubts about valences as protection, gives each of the seven aura layers its own way of being cleared, and, in the supplement, teaches symbols as stores of many pictures.

The seventh is part of self; valence does not originate in the picture-making machine

Ideas hereAkashic recordsChakrasKnowingnessMediumship and controlNeutralityPicturesValence

A valence is created by you as a being. It does not come from somewhere outside you, even when it draws on information larger than the body's present-life self-picture. The seventh chakra and the Akashic records are part of your own being. They may hold information that is not focused on this lifetime, but they are still not separate from you.

Some valences are easy to recognize: the innocent one, the sweet one, the strange one, the busy one, the competent one, the work one. They are not meant to confuse people about who you are. They are protection. If every person had direct access to the most genuine part of you, your whole surface would need to become tough. A valence gives the world a smaller picture to respond to.

Valences are meant to expire. The trouble comes when they stay after their job is done. Energy collects in them, and the valence can begin to hold more life force than you have available for yourself.

A reader's own valence does not spoil neutrality by itself. It becomes a problem when the reader reacts to how another person responds to it. Reading practice is built to say hello to the being, not only to the public picture. Many psychics can say hello to a valence. A real hello reaches the person behind it.

The picture-making machine does not create the valence. The valence is created from the seventh chakra. The machine can make pictures that support it. This matters with acting. An actor might be using real mediumship, or a valence that draws on information personally meaningful to them. When the character contains some truth for the actor, separation can be hard.

A valence protects by presenting one aspect as if it were the whole person. The dumb-blonde example works this way. It may include a real trait, such as blond hair or naivete, but it hides everything else behind that smaller picture. The point is concealment, not a statement about people.

A student's objection to valences is not erased

Ideas hereValence

Authenticity and valence can conflict. Wanting to be the same self with children, family, friends, partners and coworkers is a real desire. The answer is not to manage a set of characters. A valence is a picture with energy in it, not a separate person to perform.

Roles already carry pictures. Parent, partner, friend, worker and classmate each invite a different part of the whole person forward. Clothing gives the simple comparison. You dress differently for different events without becoming a different being.

Not everyone can have all of you. Some people can have four traits and not the rest. A valence can let a relationship continue without requiring you to sacrifice yourself or demand that the other person suddenly have more space for you.

The objection still stands: another person's inability to have you is not your responsibility. That is part of the teaching here, not something to erase. If a valence protects others from your truth but also protects you from yourself, the old picture needs attention. Ask whose sake it serves. Blow up the valences that only maintain someone else's comfort, and put energy into present-time pictures.

An "I'm just meditating" valence can give space around deep practice. It lets family stay uninvolved when they cannot understand the full experience. The safeguard is remembering that it is only a valence. It is not the limit of who you are.

A need for rest is distinguished from a rubric of doing it correctly

Ideas hereBeing and body: the two clocksGoldMock-upsValence

Growth can look messy in the body. A cold, sinus pressure, a shocked system, slow safety work, sleep, changing friendships and a conflict between work and rest can all appear while energy moves. The body may be answering old mockups for better communication and care. That does not make rest a failure.

Life is a creative process between body and spirit. If those two are communicating and working things out, correctness is not measured by a rigid practice rubric. Should-pictures are still pictures. "You should do more" and "you should be farther along" can put energy ahead of present time.

Zipping out during meditation is not a moral error. It means an energy was hit. Return to the body, blow the should-picture, and work from where you are.

Privacy can also be a clean use of valence. A valence can create sacred space without fighting for it. The secret-agent comparison shows the danger: if the person builds a whole life inside one cover identity, too much life force can become attached there. Then the cover starts running the person.

Used well, valences are stepping stones. You cross by them, then destroy them behind you when the step is complete. The old picture does not need to keep collecting energy.

Memory work can recover inspiration; embodiment exercise worked from within

Ideas hereAttention and resistanceBeing and body: the two clocksCreative energyMemory banks

Memory-bank work clears access to experience. One person found that a painful family and relationship topic became speakable in couples therapy after the memory-bank practice. The memory was not gone. The pain around the memory no longer blocked the conversation.

The body supplement worked differently because attention was inside the physical body. Many people care for the body from outside, as if they were a caregiver or bodyworker working on it. Working from within changes the experience.

A tiny charged moment can cover a much larger truth. A four-hour meal can be remembered as ruined because of two bad minutes. A friendship can be reduced to one disagreement about politics or religion. Pain, shame, guilt and judgment wrap around memories until the memory is no longer available in its own truth.

Memory work is not about clearing every memory perfectly. It asks what you want to remember and where you want to recover inspiration. There may be healing moments, places, people, miracles, early drawing, language and childhood learning available behind the charge.

The same principle applies to body patterns. An old starvation diet can connect with current restricting and gorging. The useful move is not self-blame. It is seeing the picture and choosing a new relationship with the body and food.

Each aura layer uses a different operation

Ideas hereAura and layersChakrasEarth and cosmic energyGroundingHavingnessRoses

The deep clean begins with grounding, center of head, a check-in with the body and a question: what does the body need more of? Earth energy and cosmic energy start the movement. Then each layer receives the operation that fits it.

  1. First layer: notice safety, survival, security and the first layer near the skin, head, neck and shoulders. Look for tension, stopped movement and iceberg-like places. Earth and cosmic energy begin the movement. Then the first layer gets its own grounding cord at the bottom so foreign and old energy can drain. The body already understands grounding.
  2. Second layer: observe emotion, passion, desire, sexuality and judgment. Put a rose in the second layer to collect foreign energy, including judgment about feelings, sexuality and what you want. Run pictures through the rose and let the charge stay there. When it is full, send it out, blow it up and make a new one.
  3. Third layer: look at action, achievement, energy distribution, doing and owning the body. Create a rose and a havingness gauge. You are not the third layer, and you are not the gauge. Ground the rose and raise havingness while misconceptions, blocks and excess energy release through grounding.
  4. Fourth layer: view relationships, plans, identity and the meeting place of body and spirit. Mock up the fourth chakra and cut cords with gold tools. A cord is like a conversation. Some conversations need to end so a new one can begin with the same person or with someone else.

Being in charge is not the same as controlling all the energy. A captain does not control the sea. The captain is in charge of the boat, the safety, the dryness and the direction. The aura can move without being forced.

Symbol, structural repair and erasure have different targets

Ideas hereAura and layersChakrasGoldOther beings in your spaceRoses

The fifth layer holds expression pictures and rules about communication. A gold rose in front of the fifth layer becomes a symbol of nonresistance. A mirror rose behind the layer gives beings another way out. You do not need to know yet what to say. The operation opens space so expression can arrive later.

The sixth layer holds vision. A whack is a hole made when resistance is present and incoming energy hits it, like a brick through a window. The holes may be large, small, high, low, front or back. Spinning roses repair the holes while attention stays in the center of the head and the screen does the viewing. You do not need to climb into the sixth layer to repair it.

The seventh layer holds connection with higher self and access to information. Spiders and snakes in this layer are cleared as controls on that connection. They can create false ceilings and false limits. Erasure is the operation here.

After the seven-layer work, the aura is seen as a world of colors, pictures, information, relationships, unfinished business, unfinished projects and creativity around a sensitive body. The gold sun refills layer by layer and chakra by chakra. Your energy spills back into any part of the space you want to inhabit again.

Supplement: a symbol compresses a history of pictures and can lose its power

Ideas hereAura and layersGoldGroundingPast lives and the gold ringRosesSymbolsTrance as a class setting

Symbol work begins with the familiar tools: grounding, screen, energy channels, trance and protection. The immortal-being rose is the first symbol. Its stem stands for the duration of your planetary experience. Destroying it leaves the awareness that you have been around for a long time.

The seventh layer holds symbols as well as pictures, colors, vibrations and energy. A rose for the seventh layer is already a symbol used to look at energy. Grounding that rose can clear other people's energy from the layer.

A symbol is like a picture, but larger. It can hold many pictures at once. The American flag carries war, protest, government, politics, grief, pride and conflict for many people. The body responds to all that charge because one symbol is holding a huge amount of information.

The gold sun is also a symbol. It is a sphere of gold that represents your own energy and life force. Grounding cords, roses and gold suns have been symbols from the beginning. Pictures are the language of spirit, and symbols let many pictures speak at once.

Symbols also create recognition. A flag patch in a foreign market, a sports logo, a merit badge, a martial-arts belt, OM on a shirt, the Starbucks symbol or the golden arches can instantly tell the body what kind of information and experience is present. In the aura, a matching symbol can create quick communication with another being.

A symbol can also work like an internal intercom. It can evoke energy, animate life and translate a long experience into a form the higher self understands. When someone is in the wasteland, symbols lose power. Internal communication with self has lost power, so the symbol no longer lights anything up.

Raise a high-life ring, observe, and restore it

Ideas hereAkashic recordsAura and layersGoldGroundingPast lives and the gold ringRoses

The immortal-being rose can also show high lives. Three rings appear along the stem, each one representing a lifetime in which something was mastered. The top gold ring is raised until it circles the blossom. That stimulates the lifetime in present-time space.

The practice is to observe response without making it right or wrong. Notice the body, emotions, aura, center of head, grounding and alignment with the gold sun. Then return the ring to its original place and compare the difference.

The second ring is a lifetime further back. Raise it to the blossom, notice the body and energy system, then return it. The point is not to interpret every detail. The symbol evokes energy and brings information. The whole rose is destroyed afterward, and the gold sun fills the body, aura and space.

A symbol may also operate like an access pass. A symbol for the Akashic records over the left shoulder means access may be available. If it is not there, access may not be available in the same way. The words are conditional because this is read in the moment, not imposed as a universal rule.

See a symbol with sixth; read its information from seventh knowingness

Ideas hereAkashic recordsChakrasGoldGroundingKnowingnessRosesSymbolsTrance as a class setting

Symbol reading uses a clean crown. Set the crown to gold before working with symbols because gold gives the communication a cleaner vibration. The seventh layer holds symbols like merit badges, rewards or trophies that mark what the being has accomplished.

Examples include a music symbol, a spear, the Eye of Horus, a pyramid, three Greek-style columns for the Akashic records, the celestial rose and the lotus. Choose one symbol from the seventh layer and bring it forward.

Do not read a symbol like an ordinary picture. See it with the sixth chakra, then access the crown and know from the seventh. Be still and know what the symbol means for you. It may open many pictures and pieces of information. If it is too charged, drain the excess energy and blow roses.

A second symbol can be read after checking grounding, chakras and trance. The moon may evoke feminine energy, love, mystery, craziness or something else entirely. The five-pointed star may evoke humanity, magic, the apple or ancient histories. The yin-yang may carry its own long memory. Each symbol is destroyed after use, and a fresh grounding symbol and gold sun restore the space.

The same symbol can mean different things and fit different contexts

Ideas hereAura and layersChakrasCreative energyKnowingnessSymbols

A symbol seen in another person's aura is also in the reader's aura, but that does not make the meaning the same. Ask what it means for them. A sword might support one person's work and be exactly wrong for another person's work.

A symbol sets a broad tone, like a musical key. It can bring mastery into one area of life, stimulate related symbols and reveal too many pictures to read one by one. Symbol work helps when individual pictures are crowded or when long histories need a single doorway.

Many internal symbols have little power until they are worked with through knowingness. The sixth chakra sees the symbol. The seventh accesses its information. The being reads from knowing.

The sun shows why context matters. It can evoke authority, individuality, will, personality, integration, enlightenment, ego, pride, authoritarianism, creative energy, health and vitality. The useful question is not whether the symbol is good. It is what energy and experience it evokes for you in this lifetime.
