Quality of Life (depends on this)
THE SECRET OF THE MATERIAL PLANE: YOUR SIGNATURE
"I want to explain something to you about this theme of the secret of the material plane. First of all, there are four secrets. And each one of those secrets is a type. And it is something to understand about this mechanism, that is, these vehicles. We have these four very different kinds of vehicles: the manifestor, generator, projector, reflector vehicles. Some of the most important work that I've done with type, because I've worked with type now for over 20 years, is beginning to stress its positives. And in doing so, one of the main themes for you to grasp today is to understand the significance of your signature as it relates to your material potential...
THE MANIFESTOR: PEACE
Now, let's say that is a manifestor. That manifestor in being able to do what it loves to do and be at peace with it, at peace with the whole process, it isn't about how much money that is actually going to bring in. It isn't about that’s the measurement because it isn't the measurement. I know manifestors who are successful. But they are successful in the homogenized sense. After all, they are the embodiment of a gung ho, go and get, get out there, the striving of all of that. And yet, to recognize very clearly that there is only one reward for a manifestor on the material plane. There is only one reward: peace. Peace; because that is what they're after, just the peace. And obviously it means that in achieving that peace, they have found whatever their material balance needs to be, what is correct for them...
THE GENERATOR: SATISFACTION
What is a generator signature? It isn't a signature that says that I have to conquer the world. It's a signature that says all I want to do is be satisfied. I want to feel that the energy that I put out that I get rewarded in a way that it's satisfying, that what I do in this life with my great energy resource is satisfying. It isn't about whether it's this much or that much. It isn't about your mind tormenting you about what it thinks you need, you deserve, and you should have... It's not about how much you have. It is whether you're satisfied, because being satisfied is everything if you're a generator, everything, everything. You can feel it in your body. You can know what it feels like to use your energy for something that feels so good for you to do...
THE PROJECTOR: SUCCESS
And projectors are the ones that are here to know success. Success is their theme. It's not peace, it's not satisfaction. And by the way, the thing about the projector's success is that it's rooted in their ability to work with others. They succeed through guiding others. And without that success there is only the bitterness... And the bitterness, the bitterness that you grow up in some unfortunate place, and there are those that grow up somewhere else graced by good fortune, born on the other side of the border, the other side of the ocean. Oh, the bitterness of it. We don't know. This is the whole thing about human beings and money; it's energy. It's energy. We each have a unique relationship to this. And it is a unique relationship that allows us to be able to have a signpost, that signpost that says you're here now. Good for you, because it's not about what the homogenized world thinks. It's not about their standards, their rules, and their authority. It is the spirit in you and it is reflected through your signature.
THE REFLECTOR: SURPRISE
It's like the reflector. It is a wonderful thing to be surprised when the possibilities for something come out of nowhere, that it's still there, because remember they are the ones who see who is different, what can be different. And in a homogenized world that is so sad. It really is. There's so little to see...
FOLLOW YOUR STRATEGY AND AUTHORITY
How do we get there? It's the whole thing about the knowledge. It was my standing joke for so long. Ask me any question, I'll give you the same answer and the answer is correct. How do I do better on the material plane? Well, follow your strategy and authority. Because you have to think about what that really means. It is only when your form is making the decision that you finally have a relationship with a larger material form principle that is going to be effective for you. This is the whole point. The body knows precisely what it needs. It knows precisely where it needs to be and where it has to go. It knows what you need to see. It knows how you need to see it. It is the authority that is there to make those decisions for you.
Think about the way in which you operate in this life, and you have to understand that until this becomes a universal principle for you, you’re never going to be able to reorient yourself to a material direction that is correct for you. I remember somebody asking me about--in some class I'd done Bill Gates' chart--they asked me what would happen if he knew his design and I said he never would have been a billionaire, because that wouldn't have been the point. It didn't mean he was going to be a bum or whatever the case may be. It's not the point. The moment that you are aware is the moment that you understand something. It's not up to you.
It's like being a musician and trying to find your way into the flow of the music with the others. There is this beauty that is possible for us when our mind stops getting in the way and tries to tell us what were supposed to be doing, because it doesn't know. And not only doesn't it know, but it's taking advantage of all of your weaknesses in trying to make its argument. But when you come down to it, the material plane for you is only going to function correctly when you are functioning correctly.
First of all, it brings you something very fundamental. It is one of my favorite words. It's discernment. The material plane is not something in which you can operate on that plane alone successfully. Nobody can. That is, you can be an independent this or that but only independent in relationship to something because otherwise there's just no way. One of the things to understand about the whole material process is the material process is determined by your relationships, and it is determined by the way in which you enter into those relationships, after all.
TRUST IN YOURSELF
The fact of the matter is that no matter what you're going to do in this life if it doesn't start correctly, it isn't going to end well. It's just the way that it is. And when I say it isn't going to end well, it isn't about what the cash register says at the end of the story. It's about you. It's about you, because until you can be in that place where your signature is what you breathe, because that's what it is. Human beings don't trust themselves. Not only don't they trust themselves, they don't trust the whole thing. They're so afraid, they're so insecure. And it torments them. It keeps them away from the possibility of discovery, real discovery.
I know that this is one of the most difficult things for you as a generation that is meeting this in what is your adulthood. The knowledge was given to me as a custodian for children, so that they don't have to go through deconditioning, so they don't have to be re-taught the nature of the world and their place in the world, that they will naturally move towards what is correct for them. But that is not our situation. You're dealing with the deconditioning and the influences of the not-self mind, and they're deep.
But the first thing starts with who's the boss. It's that simple. And if it's not you, then you're going to live your material life in the homogenized world. Everything about the unique being is its inherent selfishness, and not as a negative. But that if you cannot trust in yourself there is no future. And that trust in yourself is the foundation of loving yourself, being able to stand and being able to wait and being able to see and being able to react so that you can do what is correct for you and you can be treated correctly.
And of course, there's always the fear. 'If I don't'--this is one of the great painful prods of the not-self. 'If I don't do something, if I don't go after this, if I don't try that, if I don't,' on and on and on, 'I can't wait, nobody's going to come, nobody's going to pay any attention.' None of it's true. It takes great courage to really be yourself. Not just intellectually while you're in some protected environment, but living it, truly living it, decision by decision by decision by decision, because this is the only way that you're ever going to be able to navigate on this plane and navigate in a way in which you eliminate resistance, that you enhance your potential for wellbeing in your life, for quality of life. And that you can find on this material plane your signature, because without it, it's telling you very clearly you have not surrendered to your own authority. This is the point."
