Session 1 – The Effects of Power

With Master John, channeled by John McCurdy on 26 September 2022

This transcript has been lightly edited from the original recording to ensure that the intended meaning is conveyed as clearly as possible. Note that Hmm, Mmm, Ahh, and lines with just a dot signify places to pause, and to feel into yourself and what is being said. Comments in [square brackets] are editorial explanations rather than part of the message.

I am that I am!

I am Master John of Magical Service, here to do some magic with you today.

Ahh…

I am Master John. That means, I am all that John is. I am the human you know as John, but that’s just one little facet of me. It’s like your little finger is to you.

I am the wholeness of John. I am the divinity, the Merlin, the soul, the wisdom, of all that John is.

And yes, the Consciousness. The Awareness.

Those two words are basically synonyms. Consciousness and awareness are one and the same thing.

Hmm…

So, how to change your life?

Oh, we’ve been talking about this class for a while. And yes, John has been resisting it for a while. He’s afraid he can’t channel it clearly enough. Well, that’s not his job. His job is to simply let it happen, and it’s time to do it.

How to change your life?

It’s the number one question for almost every human on the planet. Everybody is dissatisfied with their lives, except for a very rare few. They want to know how to change it, how to create the life of their dreams. Or, in the vast majority of the cases, just how to survive for another day. How to decrease their suffering just a little bit. How to decrease the chaos in their lives. How to make their human life just a little bit better.

But you see, here is the truth: The human doesn’t have the power to change its life.

Mmm…

And yes, a few of you will hear the key in that. Most humans are trying so hard to get enough power to change their life. Oh, power in the form of money, in the form of influence, in the form of health, or even of love. All these different things, the human thinks they will give him or her the power to change their life. And they don’t.

Oh, they give you an illusion of it for a little bit, but then some other part of your life blows up. Because, you see, whenever you use power in life—oh, and power can be very, very subtle—whenever you push at life, whenever you try to push things around in your life, whenever you try to manipulate the energies or manipulate people or manipulate anything, you are using power. And whenever you do that, there is always an equal and opposite reaction.

Hmm…

The catch is, the reaction may not appear to the human to have anything to do with what they were doing. You use power on these people over here and then you get cancer in your body, and the human never makes that connection. But it is connected.

Because, you see, it’s like putting your hand in a bowl of water and pushing. Well, the water moves. It appears that you were successful. But it keeps on moving, and it comes around and hits you from behind. And that’s how life is. That’s how life was designed to be.

Ha! Let that in.

It was designed by you. Oh, and many, many others, but that is how it was designed to be.

For every push, there is an equal and opposite push. Or, let’s say that a little different: for every push, there is a responding push. It doesn’t seem opposite, because it hits you in some entirely different part of your life, but it is always there. Always, always, and you cannot get away from it.

Hmm…

So, most humans go through life pushing things around, manipulating things, manipulating people, trying to get power. Trying to get enough power to change their lives. And, well, often they do. And then that power comes back around and changes some other part of their life, and they never make the connection. But that’s what happened.

That’s what always happens. No exceptions! You push over here, and it hits you somewhere else. That’s just the way power is, because power isn’t actually real. This whole thing is an illusion, so whatever you push has to come back on you. That’s the way it is.

That’s what you found out in your lifetimes as a magician, playing with magic. “Dark magic,” you call it. Well, we call any magic that manipulates your reality dark magic, because it’s the same thing. You send out a spell or a curse, or even a positive spell, and it goes out. It may appear to have an effect, and then it rebounds and hits you in some other part of your life. It became so intense in some of your lifetimes—in some of our lifetimes—that many of us destroyed ourselves in those lifetimes with our own magic.

We became very good at using it against others, or against the things of life. It’s quite a trick to be able to move an object without touching it, but we didn’t realize that the power in that was going to come back and hit us in some part of our life, some completely—seemingly—unrelated part of our life. And then we wondered why we got sick and why we hurt. We got angry and started using our powers more and more, until we died.

At some point we realized, collectively, that this was not working. This was too dangerous and not understood to be useful, so as a collective agreement we pushed most of it out of mass consciousness, at least on Earth. So now there are only a few people who remember those abilities, those ways of manipulating the energies. And it’s important that a few of you do, because those things still need to be brought to resolution. They are hanging out there still, waiting for resolution.

Mmm…

So, back to our point. Most humans, they work so hard at getting enough power to change their lives. Oh, it appears to work sometimes, but a lot of times it doesn’t. A lot of times it backfires right in their face, and they end up bitter and depressed and wondering what’s wrong with them. And also wondering what’s wrong with everybody else, because nothing seems to work.

For others it seems to work, and then it comes back around and hits them, and they don’t understand what happened. Some completely different part of their life falls apart, and all of that power that they sent out comes back and hits them in many different ways.

Hmm…

And so, life goes on.

Oh, it’s actually a beautiful dynamic. You set it up this way when you helped to create Earth, because, you see, the Earth wasn’t just a playground to come have fun on. The earth was created to solve a specific problem, because these power games had been going on for eons before Earth was ever created, and they had become so intense.

Of course you couldn’t kill each other then, so the games just became more and more intense. People—angels, you call them, just people without bodies. That’s all any angel is. So these people, these beings, you, started bumping into each other.

Or, you started hearing each other’s songs.

You can’t actually bump into each other. All you can do is hear the song of the other, and this brilliant, beautiful mind that you have—oh, it’s much, much bigger than the human brain, far beyond even the human mind. It’s your soul, but it’s a construct within your soul’s imagination. It’s a processor, and it hears the song of another being and it instantly creates an avatar of that being based on that song. But that avatar is part of you. It is within your own reality construct.

And so you, as the human—oh, even before the human—you would create something and that other being, through the avatar that you created, would see it and go, “Why did you create that? It should have been this way!”

Or maybe they created something, and the avatar of you within their reality construct said, “Oh, I want that!” And you tried to take it from them.

Well, your computer system, your mind, because that’s really all it is—your processing unit—it created an… [John stumbles over his words here]

In your own imagination, you took that, whatever it was, from the avatar, and the other person felt that through the song, through the network, you could say. The network of song, of communication.

Mmm…

John is working so hard to find human descriptions for all of this. It’s working a little bit.

So, let’s just come right to the heart of it. From the very beginning of your existence, you have been disagreeing with the others about how life should be. Oh, sometimes you agree and a lot of times you disagree, and that has been happening from the very beginning of your existence.

Oh, you’ve fought battles, intensive battles, battles far, far beyond anything the human can even imagine. The human thinks of nuclear war, and thinks that’s pretty unimaginable. Oh, these battles were far, far beyond that! But you couldn’t die, so—oh, you could pretend to die. You could pretend to get lost. You could pretend to suffer, and you did—you actually believed it, so you suffered—and then you came back to yourself.

But in these battles the energies—oh, this energy of combat and battle and disagreement was so intense that at some point all the energies of creation began to slow down, until finally everyone came together. Representatives from all the different groups of angels came together and said, “We have to do something, because if the energies stop moving, we might go out of existence!”

It couldn’t actually happen, but it was a big fear. You didn’t know that back then, that it couldn’t actually happen.

So, one of the proposals put forward was to create a place in a small, relatively unknown universe, and in a small, out of the way corner of that universe. A place where everything could be slowed down and replayed over and over again, in a slow way that didn’t affect who you are but was a very real experience, so that you could learn how energies work.

You see, you didn’t understand why you were having such disagreements. You didn’t even understand how you created things. Ha! You’d have some—to use human words—you’d have some stray thought run through your mind and kaboom, there it is in front of you, fully manifested! And it had a big impact on you and on the ones around you, and you didn’t understand it.

So you said, “Let’s slow everything down. Let’s build a place where we can go and slow everything down, and replay it in slow motion, so that we can find out what the problem is and how all this works.”

You see, you had no experience. You had no wisdom. You didn’t have any experience to gain wisdom from before this. You had been pure consciousness, pure awareness, who became aware of itself and asked, “Who am I?” And everything since then has been about answering that question. But in order to answer that question—ha! There wasn’t anybody to give you the answer, so you had to find out through experiencing yourself in every way possible. And that’s where it all started.

Now you had taken the experience as far as you could take it as angels, so you finally created Earth and came here, and embodied yourselves in this dense reality, in order to replay those battles and those disagreements and those confrontations in slow motion, over and over again, so that you could come to an understanding. And oh, what a journey it has been!

The human looks back on it and says, “Oh, what a nightmare!” The soul looks back on it and says, “Oh, what an adventure! And finally, I’m starting to understand! Because of all these human experiences, I am finally starting to understand how it all works!” And finally, for the first time in all of creation—for the first time in all of experience—finally, dear friend, you have the ability to actually change your life without using power. Without creating pushback, without affecting anybody else who doesn’t want to be affected by it, and without being affected by anyone else that you don’t want to be affected by.

You have that ability right now. If you are here, if you’ve paid money for this class—if it called you that much—you have that ability. For the first time, for the first time in all of existence, you can create your life any way you want it!

Hmm…

Now, there are some caveats here.

You have been playing this mass-consciousness game for so long that it’s part of you. It’s built into you. It’s ingrained in you. It’s the biggest habit you have, and so it’s not so easy to step out of that or to let it go. You keep trying to create your new reality within this old reality, this old mass-consciousness reality. Well, to a certain extent even that is possible, but it works entirely different than it ever has before.

Now, you’re so sensitive that when you push on something it hits you back almost instantly. It still might hit you in some completely different place, but it comes back.

You don’t have the luxury anymore of playing the human power games. They won’t work. They’ll blow up in your face, or they’ll come around and kick you in the ass, or in worse places.

So, you’ve chosen. You’ve come to this place where you know that you are the creator of your life. You know now how things work. Even though your human mind doesn’t totally understand it you know, and you know that you know.

Some call it enlightenment. Some call it realization. It doesn’t matter. You know, and you know you know, so let that in.

And you’ve chosen to stay here in this old game for a little while.

Oh, you have some good reasons for that. First, you want to complete the process. You want to be sure that you actually do get it.

And so, part of you wants to make your human life perfect. Well, that’s not going to happen, because human life was specifically designed to not be perfect, and so it’s never going to be perfect for you. But you can have a whole different experience of it.

Oh, the human thinks, “Oh goody, I can create my life now! I can create that new house and the new car and lots of money in the bank and the perfect relationship and all these beautiful things” that you’ve imagined for so long. And yes indeed, you can, but it won’t work the way you are trying to do it. It doesn’t work from the human mind.

In another one of our classes we called the mind, “The great anti-creator.” Because, in a way, that’s the human mind’s job. It’s the job you gave it when you first started coming to Earth. In another way, it’s just the action of that power. You put it out, and it circles around through the pot and it hits you in the behind. It ends up creating, so often, the opposite of what you wanted. You do have the ability now to change your life in beautiful ways, but you can’t do it from the human level.

Oh, the human has a very important function in all of this. You see, the human is the avatar of the soul. It’s the part of itself that the soul sent into this game to have the experience. Within the game, the human doesn’t know anything about the soul. It thinks it is who it is. It thinks this thing, this head, this brain in its head, is who it is. It thinks it’s up to it to solve all of its problems, and it can’t figure out why life just doesn’t go the way it thinks it should.

Well, that’s because you have a soul, and the soul is the player. Oh, the soul gives you a lot of leeway, because that’s part of the setup of this game. But from the human level, the only tool you have for changing your life, or the only tool you think you have, is power. Pushing things around.

You want a new house? Well, you either have to saw the trees into lumber and get the nails and drive them in with hammers and build the house yourself, or you have to get enough money to pay somebody else to do it for you. It’s all about power. It’s all about pushing things around.

Ha! Then you wonder why you get old and die after seventy years or so. All that power, all that pushing, is pushing on you all the time. Every bit of it comes back on you, and as long as you’re working hard pushing things around and creating all this drama, oh, your soul sits back and watches with a big smile on its face, and it collects the wisdom from those experiences.

Hmm…

But here we are. This journey is complete. You have the answer, and there is a whole group of people on the Earth who have the answer. And that answer has already been transmitted to All That Is, to the heart of creation.

Oh, let’s not even try to get into any definitions here, John. Let’s just say that the answer has been made known to All That Is.

Not everybody is ready to let it in yet, but it is now known. Just within the last few years of human existence, the answer is known. The game is over. The purpose of Earth has been fulfilled. The purpose of you coming to Earth has been fulfilled. So now, things are changing.

Oh, you could leave. You could go home. And some of you want to, so much. John can feel it now. He can feel the beauty and the peace of home, the freedom from all the intensity of Earth.

Oh, this is such an intense place to be! You squeezed yourself down into this tiny little body, and even then you could only fit a tiny little portion of yourself. But it’s so intense! It’s so tight! It’s so—oh, every time you do something it comes around and hits you again! It’s intense being here on Earth! And oh, some of you want so much to go home now. And some are, and that’s wonderful. Their souls are welcoming them. But some of you know that there’s still some things that need to be finished.

Hmm…

The game isn’t quite over, because there are a whole lot of angels, many of them living on Earth and many, many, many more out in all of creation, who don’t understand yet. Oh, they hear people saying that the answer has been found, but they don’t understand it. They don’t know what it means because, well, they haven’t experienced it yet. So there’s a need for places for them to have their own experience of the answer to this whole journey.

Oh, they don’t need to go through the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of lifetimes that so many of you have been through. They’ll get it very quickly, without all the drama and the pain and the suffering that you went through. They’ll have some, but not like you did, because you were among the first.

Hmm…

So, there is a need to keep this game going for a while yet, on Earth. And the game is intensifying, because everyone can feel that it is coming to its conclusion. It’s intensifying, and right now humanity is right on the brink of destroying itself. Or so it seems.

We don’t think it actually is, because of you. Because in having the answer within yourself, the answer to the slowdown of energy, to the battles, to the very question of who am I—you have it within you or you wouldn’t be here right now, and the presence of people with that answer here on Earth has a profound impact. And if anything can help humanity get through this current crisis… [John chokes up]

Yes, John is feeling the emotions from these energies, from the energies he feels in the world. Because yes, we use that word deliberately: this crisis. It is a crisis. It is perhaps the most intense, and in some ways the most dangerous crisis that humanity has ever faced on this planet. It is a crisis of power, and it is unfolding in many different ways. It’s unfolding in war and in the threat of nuclear war. It’s unfolding in the financial systems and the government systems. It’s unfolding all over the planet, this crisis of power.

You see, the energies of power are beginning to understand that their time is done, and they don’t like that. They’re holding on. They are fighting ever more intensely for their power. And yes, it is a crisis on the planet right now.

But you, dear ones, you are the hope of humanity.

Because in being here right now, simply with your knowledge of the answer to who you are, you shine a light that shows people new choices. It shows them there is another way to change their life, a way that doesn’t require any power.

So many of you, and I, Master John and my human called John, have chosen to stay here through the intensity, through the drama, and even through the physical pain.

Oh, feel the energies, dear friend!

You wonder why your body is struggling. You wonder why it hurts so much at times. Well, just feel the energies that are flying around. They’re hitting you all over the place!

Oh, many of them are the reverberations of power that you have used in the past.

Mmm… [John is choking up again]

Indeed. Indeed, John.

John just realized that that is what shame is about. The feelings of shame and of guilt that are buried inside you, you could say that they are simply the reverberations in the energy field of the power that you have used.

Hmm…

Let’s not get too much into definitions and mental explanations here. Let’s just feel that.

In a certain sense, all of the shame, all of the guilt, all of the bad memories, the pain and the hurt, whether it’s emotional or physical, it is all the reverberations in the energy field of the power you have used, in this lifetime and in others.

Hmm…

So, here we are.

How to change your life? Stop using power.

How to heal those old wounds? Take a deep breath. Stop battling them. Every time you try to heal them, you are using power. And it just creates another reverberation.

Take a deep breath.

Be still.

Be still in your mind.

Be still in your body.

Hmm…

It’s like being in a pool of water. Every time you push, the force goes out. And it reverberates off the walls of the pool and comes back to you. Only in the energy field, there is no lessening.

In water there is inertia. There is resistance. In the energy field there is none, so what goes out comes back full strength.

The solution is to be still, to stop fighting it.

In fact, when you see that wave coming at you, breathe it in.

Welcome it in.

You will find that in that act of welcoming it in, you are actually reclaiming it. Reclaiming your own energies. That stops the reverberation, and that stops and dissolves the shame, the guilt, and the pain.

Breathe it in.

Ahh…

So, we’re going to leave it here for now. You have a lot to consider.

Ha! And so does John. And so do I, for that matter.

Hmm…

We invite you to give this some time. Don’t jump into the next lesson immediately. Give it some time, at least a few hours. Next day would be good.

Go back and listen to this message again, if you want to. But give it some time to soak in, to feel it, before you go on to the next lesson in How to Change Your Life.

Ahh…

And so it is.
