Embracing The Experience – Unraveling Shaltazar

This episode unravels the message "The True Purpose of Human Life" which encourages us to evaluate life not based upon the results -- our accomplishments, status, wealth, or achievements, etc. – but upon the sum total of the experiences we accumulate over a lifetime. Our true purpose is to be the eyes and ears of Source, to use our free will to probe the duality and experience our human sojourn as fully as we can so through our experiences, Source and the universe are able to evolve and expand.

Hello spiritual seekers!

Welcome to another episode of the Unraveling Shaltazar podcast featuring me,

Mark Lane,

Spiritual seeker,

Writer and Shaltazar enthusiast,

Along with the mouthpiece of Shaltazar,

Jeffrey Eisen,

My good friend and collaborator.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar,

Jeffrey is a Toronto based spiritual life coach,

Teacher and channeler of a spiritual entity who goes by the name Shaltazar.

With the help and support of Shaltazar's cosmic wisdom,

It is Jeffrey's mission to assist in shifting the consciousness of our planet.

It is my pleasure to assist Jeffrey in making this marvelous wisdom available to the largest possible audience and to unravel it in an understandable and comprehensible way.

Hello Jeffrey!

Hello Mark!

How are you today?

I'm well,

How are you?

I'm fine,

I'm fine.

We've just turned another marker.

We're into March.

Yes.

And it is the month of rebirth and spring and so I'm excited about the work that we do and excited about how it's evolving.

Yeah,

So am I.

It's been an interesting journey,

Right?

In the short time we've been together,

I mean the work we've been doing together has evolved quite a bit along with us,

I think,

So it's interesting to see.

It is and that's something that I'd like to point out to the listeners.

Often we don't take an opportunity to look at how far we've come and you and I,

Before we started recording,

We're talking about,

You know,

Since we are of,

I guess we could say older vintage would be a polite way of saying it,

Right?

Okay.

Sure.

Maybe mature.

How about mature?

Can we go with mature?

Yeah,

Yeah.

And we were talking about how life on planet Earth has evolved so much in the years that we have been alive and it was really a fascinating conversation and not one that I don't think enough people have to realize that,

You know,

In five,

Ten,

Fifteen years things have changed so much and then we said of course I wonder what that means for the next five to ten years and so I encourage listeners to look at how they have evolved and how they may want to set their intentions for the continuation of that evolvement.

You know,

I read something somewhere recently that said if you don't evolve you will devolve and I think certainly our audience and the people that we appeal to are the ones that are interested in evolving and so Shaltazar would encourage us to become more conscious of our intentions of how we want to evolve.

Right,

Right.

It seems to be all about consciousness and awareness,

Right?

It's no longer going through life kind of on autopilot and start starting to live life with more consciousness and more of a living perception of what we're doing and what we're going through and absorbing everything that's happening rather than just kind of plowing through it,

Right?

Yeah,

And that's interesting.

Let me ask you the question.

Since you have become more conscious,

Since you have become more evolved,

How do you notice your life differently than,

You know,

When you were less conscious and less evolved?

Well,

I think it's hard to put a finger on it,

I would say,

Because it's so intertwined into everything but I mean certainly I'm calmer,

I'm less anxious.

I'm not gonna say it's 100% of the time but more often than not I tend to respond to the things life sends me rather than to react to them because you just sort of develop this belief perhaps that or knowing that what comes is by design and for teaching and you learn that the easiest way to learn is to just learn and to just be with it instead of,

You know,

Pushing back or fighting against it which is kind of,

You know,

What we're gonna talk about today but it's a learning the ability to not only be more aware and conscious but also to surrender and be accepting of your situations and circumstances.

Yeah,

Brilliant.

I agree,

I agree.

You know,

As I asked the question I thought well what would my answer be and in one word I find my life has more depth and the visual that came to me is like swimming in the ocean and sort of having that on the surface experience or,

You know,

Having the opportunity to dive underneath and see the Great Barrier Reef with all the coral and all of the beautiful aquatic life and I've had,

You know,

I've had the opportunity,

Although I'm not a big snorkeling kind of guy,

But I've had a few opportunities to see what life is like under the surface of the water and it's phenomenal and so to me,

You know,

That consciousness is adding a breadth and depth to my life that I never had before when I was on autopilot.

Sure,

Yeah,

Yeah,

No I agree that's a great observation.

It all feels more real,

I guess,

Right?

Yeah,

Yeah,

Good word,

Yeah,

Yeah,

Just brighter and fuller and,

You know,

When I think back in my work days and it was just so mundane and so frustrating,

You know,

Doing the same thing I would get frustrated and be mad at myself and figure it out and a couple of months later just do the same thing again.

So,

Yeah,

Which I understand is gonna tie into what we're talking about today.

Indeed,

It does.

So the message that I chose,

And I'll have a little story to tell you later on as we move through,

But the message I chose is called The True Purpose of Human Life.

So without further ado,

Jeffrey,

Tell us what is the true purpose of human life?

And that's interesting because I can't remember exactly when I channeled this piece,

But I know a lot of the people I work with,

The coaching clients and other people I would chat with,

Were always into that,

What's my true purpose?

And they really kind of thought that there was this one purpose that you're supposed to search for that's designed for you and you've come forth for that singular purpose.

And so this message kind of blows that up a little bit and says that your true purpose is to experience whatever you're here to experience.

So it sort of takes away that focus on the singular purpose and basically says whatever you do you're fulfilling that greater purpose from the source,

Which is to go forth and experience life in the duality so that the source that is unity and oneness can understand beyond its comprehension,

Beyond its knowingness,

Beyond its beingness.

And as soon as I channeled that,

It seemed to take a certain amount of pressure off of the idea that I had to perform,

That I had to,

Was I here to be the businessman,

Was I here to be the teacher,

Was I here to be the coach,

Was I what was I here for?

And it sort of allows you to relax and say it's really all about this journey.

I'm okay,

God's okay with me if I just experience as fully as I can,

Which ties back to what I said about swimming on the surface or going down and checking out the Great Barrier Reef.

It's sort of like why wouldn't I dive deep and allow my experience to have a greater depth,

A greater realness as you said to it.

Right,

Right.

Yeah,

One of the things you said triggered an idea that I've kind of toyed around with lately,

But you know this idea that as we are,

What's a good way to say this,

I guess maybe understanding this is that we are sort of the eyes and ears of source,

Right?

Source is an omniscient but non-human,

Non-physical energy that kind of defies description.

And a lot of reading I've done,

You know,

It talks about,

You know,

That the only way for a source to really understand or know its creation is through the experiences of its creation.

So we kind of become the,

You know,

The boots on the ground or the eyes and ears of source and the things that we do and see and learn and experience are what is adding to the tapestry of source's understanding of its own creation,

If that makes sense.

100%,

100%.

Yeah,

As you were chatting what came to mind is that if we,

You know,

As we continue to evolve with space travel,

If we found another planet that was inhabited by life,

By life form,

And we needed to understand how that planet operated,

So we created some artificial intelligence that was able to infiltrate that civilization to mimic that life form and reported back to us what it found.

And so it's sort of like that,

That here we are in this duality that the source may not be able to truly comprehend and so we are that artificial intelligence to send the feedback to the unity of source.

Right,

Right.

I think it even says that in the message it talks,

Well,

Shaltazar kind of says,

Right,

That they are here collecting data,

Right,

And that,

And that I can't put my eyes on it right now,

But that we are the,

We're the collection points for that data,

You know,

We're living and experiencing things and then what we're living and experiencing,

We're feeding back,

You know,

To the other side of the veil and then that's again becoming part of the fabric of this universal energy who created us and is trying to understand what it is that creation is,

I guess.

Right,

Yeah,

And that's kind of a neat point,

A couple points there.

One is,

I found it interesting that the word data came up because when I listen to it again it's like,

That's kind of interesting,

The word data,

Because it somewhat,

You know,

Minimizes us,

I think later in the message they,

You know,

They make it clear that it's not a demeaning thing that we're that source of data,

But it's kind of neat,

Like you say,

That we are the data for a creation of the source that it didn't know what it was creating because it was something beyond itself,

Which is really kind of neat,

Right,

So you create this thing but you don't really fully understand it because it's really outside of your consciousness because source is unity consciousness so it has to sort of collect the data and so we're data collectors but yet we see ourselves as free thinking because of course part of the plan was as data collectors we were given free choice and that that's kind of interesting,

Right,

So we're not the robots,

You know,

That maybe we would be sending to some extra-terrestrial civilization,

We are actually free thinking,

Free choosing data points and that's kind of neat,

Right,

So it's sort of like you're gonna collect data but I'm gonna give you a lot of freedom in order to do that.

Right,

Right,

Kind of like the,

You're talking about space age stuff,

I remember there were a couple NASA projects like Voyager where they just shot a data collection tool out into space and,

You know,

Just aimed it in a certain direction and said okay go and tell us what you find and they didn't really know what it was gonna send back,

They didn't know what it was gonna learn and it ended up,

If I recall,

There may have been a couple of them but I know it sent back all kinds of fabulous pictures of the planets in the solar system and at some point I think it flew out of range and couldn't report back anymore but,

You know,

That's kind of what we are but maybe with a little bit more direction and a little bit more focus because we're confined to a physical dimension that only,

You know,

Allows us to,

You know,

To stray so far from,

You know,

A certain,

You know,

A certain line but yeah we're all here kind of stumbling around,

Looking around and seeing what we can learn and seeing what we can send back.

Yeah,

Yeah and it's kind of neat,

I think your analogy is a beautiful one because we could not get out there and see the things that that space probe sent back to us,

Right?

I mean it's just there's a constraint just like the source cannot become duality or cannot exist in duality because it's unity so we couldn't see those far-off planets or stars but yet the probe could and so it was beyond our comprehension but that data helped us comprehend it and so that's a fabulous analogy that you came up with because I think that's sort of similar to what we are and and again I want to reiterate it's not a demeaning thing it's really not a demeaning thing that we're pawns,

We are not pawns,

We are loving creations of the source that want us to experience as fully as we can this human sojourn.

Mm-hmm right,

Right.

Maybe you know maybe in a way there may be another analogy would be like you know children right you know how you have a child and it's this new life form and you don't really know much about it and so as a parent you watch and observe it and you give it a few boundaries and but you want it to explore and grow and adapt and figure you know find its way in the world and and and you really don't know what you know what it's gonna find or what it's gonna become attracted to or what it's gonna learn to do or and what it's going to contribute or add but it's it's it's kind of a science project right not unlike you know we are with with source.

Right as parents you don't remember when you were a toddler you don't remember you don't remember to that to the advanced brain power that you currently have and so here it is you have to observe your toddler excellent example so so it's kind of neat I hope the listeners are getting a sense of this this bigger picture definition of what the purpose of life is that it is not that minuscule was I meant to be a this or meant to be a that or what was I here to accomplish.

Sheltezar makes it quite clear in that message that it's really more about the journey than the end result they talk a lot about the fact that that the life review has nothing to do and the life review for those you know people that aren't aware it my belief is that that when you leave your form and you go to formless that you sort of have an interview an exit interview so to speak with the source and that exit interview is really about your experiences not your report card as to the grades or the career or the amount of money which which is kind of an interesting wake-up call as we are you know moving through this pandemic and hopefully you know coming out the other end what are our priorities one of the messages from Sheltezar talks about thinking about our principles our values and our priorities and re-examining them and and this message sort of ties into that because the true purpose of human life is not about the material accomplishments it is really about your experiences on planet earth in the in the duality being a a human being with free choice.

Right well and that's that's actually the part of the message that that that resonated most strongly with me I kind of summarized a few highlights here but they say stop looking at the results the end of your experience and focus more fully on the experience itself what if it really didn't matter what the result was derived from your experience what if you stopped focusing on the results of your experiences you stop trying to succeed and to never fail how would your life be different would you be able to relax would you be able to appreciate more in the moment instead of always waiting to see the end result and in that you know that kind of like was a gong going off in my head we've talked about this before some of the listeners who are familiar with our conversations may recall that I've been finishing the basement in my house it's been about a year and this past weekend there's still a few things left to be done but it's essentially complete complete enough for my wife to roll the carpet out and start hanging things on the walls and so the TV works the couches out so you know so now it's it's it's it's functional space and it's done and and she said to me wow this this really turned out nice you must be really proud of all the work you put in and I looked at it I was like yeah it's not it's not feeling that way to me and and so I started wondering you know what it was wrong with me why don't why can't I celebrate this this this victory and it occurred to me that that the the the joy that I got out of it was doing it it was the it was you know the the time I spent down there in the in the step-by-step incremental process of transforming it from a disaster to to a functional attractive space I and then it started to occur to me that that all of my creative endeavors sort of have that same feel to them I like cooking I love you know standing in the kitchen and creating and putting things together and making things taste good and then feeding them to somebody and seeing if they enjoy them hopefully they enjoy them but I don't really like eating it myself and it seems like it's that same thing it's it's it's just what you know shelters are is talking about here that it's not about the result it's not about what you what you create it's the process of creating it the jury that's that's important and that's what I find satisfying I don't really care about what but the end result is so excellent excellent you drove that point home you got a gold star for that one and and as you're talking it reminds me of channeling shelters are because I put so much effort in from the time I channel it to the time I I tweak it and and reread it and and and digest it and and I'm learning all along and then I I record it and then I mix the music and by the time a shelters our message gets released it's sort of like it's like letdown it's like okay it's like you know and and thank you for doing this series with me because it makes me go back and listen to them because I'm so ready to move on to the next one that I very rarely I mean so it is the experience of me channeling it integrating it embodying it learning it applying it and it's like I don't want to look at at the finished product I don't want to hang around doing that I don't want to eat the meal like you say it's like I want to create the next meal I want to move on to the next project so brilliant right I know we're running short on time but I'm really anxious to to hear what you talked about what you what you wanted to to share in this experience of this message no that was it but that was my little story about about the basement it's some in its in its I think it's it's a really relevant thing for everyone to kind of stop and think about you know we're so gold driven and and and results driven and especially you know Western culture it's all about you know you know what it what's what's what's the result what have you what have you done lately and it really is it would you be able to relax was that was the phrase that caught me because yeah you know I I think if I if I really stopped in believed that what I was doing that the experience is what it's all about and not the end result like yeah I can't relax because it's you know the pressure is off because all I'm doing is being the best me I can be and what comes of that who cares right yeah and as you were reading that part from that passage from the message I was really thinking gee I don't know if much of society would agree with shelters I would say yeah you know does the education system believe that does the work you know the the work system believe that and and so I think that there's some a great opportunity which is maybe why this message is so popular on on insight time where there have been thousands of people that have listened to it I highly recommend people listen to it because as you say it takes the pressure off it puts into context this this journey mentality of life and and and gives us you know allows us to get off the hook of performing because everywhere else in society there seems to be that pressure to perform and shelters are as saying nope you know just show up and do your best and and enjoy the journey and and the source will be quite pleased with you nice nice great well thank you Jeffrey that was this was a this was a good one I enjoyed this and it made a huge impact on me so thank you very much thank you very much and until next time love and light to everyone
