so my next question is about frequency holders which is a concept that eart tole brings up in his book A New Earth and here is what he has to say about what he terms frequency holders it's a quote others after the natural expansion that comes with growing up has run its course lead an outwardly unremarkable seemingly more passive and relatively uneventful existence they are more inward-looking by nature and for them the outward movement into form is minimal they would rather return home than go out some of them find it hard to fit into this world
some are lucky enough to find a protective Niche where they can lead a relatively sheltered life a job that provides them with a regular income or a small business of their own in past ages they would probably have been called called contemplatives there's no place for them it seems in our contemporary civilization on the arising new Earth however their role is just as vital as that of the creators the doers the reformers their function is to Anchor the frequency of the new Consciousness on the planet I call them frequency holders they are here to generate
Consciousness through the activities of daily life through their interactions as well as through just being in this way they endow the seemingly insignificant with profound meaning their task is to bring spacious Stillness into this world by being absolutely present in whatever they do there is consciousness and therefore quality in what they do even the simplest task their purpose is to do everything in a sacred manner as each human being is an integral part of the collective human consciousness they affect the world much more deeply than is visible on the surface of their lives so it's
basically this concept of you don't necessarily have to actively participate and you can make a positive contribution just through your State of Consciousness even if all you do is stay home and meditate that's true but it's it's not really a winner in the sense that it is true that you don't have to make a big splash you don't have to be important you don't have to do any of that you can be very humble and inconspicuous but the idea that you can just stay home and and uh whatever it would be much better if you
got out and engaged rather than stayed home just staying home and not engaging is taking something that's very valuable in hiding it it's very valuable for other people but it's true that if if you take people who are grown up and let them mix with people who's not grown up the not grown up people will tend to grow up more you know it's a growing thing that Collective Consciousness the opposite end of that's the mob right the mob everybody's angry well together they're more Angry than any one of them would be alone they'll do worse
deeds and do more Despicable things together as a mob because their anger forms this collected consciousness of anger which then drives all their anger even more Angry which drives it even more angry and they get to this this point where they're out of their minds angry and they do a lot of crazy things whereas any one of them alone would not go to that out of their mind angry spot so that's the collective Consciousness you have a bunch of people who are welldeveloped who have low entropy and high quality Consciousness the people around them get
to be pulled up with less anger makes them feel better they see bigger pictures more easily so to have to have that and not interact with your community to stay home and just stay with each other well it'll still help a little bit because you still go out to the grocery store you still walk your dog and meet people you still do a few things so you will still contribute in that sort of way but you could contribute a whole lot more if you were more connected you know to your fellow man if you got
involved in things you did things engaged in things so that would be a that would even be better so yes he's right that is a good thing and it is helpful so nothing he said is wrong but I could think it would be more helpful if they didn't stay home if they joined an organization um volunt ered someplace just interacted with people because they have a valuable gift which is a gift of a high quality of Consciousness and the more they interact with people the more good they'll do in the world so you know if
they're introverts and don't like to go out well they're introverts and don't like to go out maybe instead of going out they'll write books like eer Tali and maybe millions of people will read their books and be affected by it so you you don't have to go out you could do other things but just staying in your house and doing your knitting or watching TV or something's kind of a waste of a of a rare and very valuable commodity so I would encourage them if they're not going to write books or give seminars or or
uh you know teach classes and meditation or do things in their Community I mean they could do some things in their Community um that they should at least get out and meet people and make connection now so that's a good thing now there's a few things that kind of rub me slightly the wrong way in this idea and they're not really so much wrong things as things that are metaphors like the word frequency I think frequency is a very overused metaphor in the New Age Community you as you evolve you raise your frequency as you
de evolve you lower your frequency frequency is a very material thing frequency means something oscillates something oscillates in Consciousness there's no such thing as frequency frequency doesn't exist frequency is a thing that does this and then you count how many times a second it does that and that's frequency frequency requires motion motion is a physical thing so you take a word that only has meaning in a physical context and turn it into a descriptor of the non-physical this is a misfit in my mind so the new age does that a lot it's all about tuning
your frequency and getting to a higher frequency and I don't mind so much but it doesn't help people see that Consciousness is not a part of the physical world but the physical world is a place that you go do things in order to test if you will or grow your quality of Consciousness and that it's not just tuning it tuning it make it's you know I got to tune my frequency or I got to raise my frequency it makes it sound like it's a mechanical thing that you have to do like if I pray every
Sunday I'll raise my frequency you know that kind of a thing if I do this or do that if I meditate you know an hour a day I'll raise my frequency doesn't work like that you have to grow up and just doing doing things to make you grow up isn't the right attitude you have to change yourselves at the being level to grow up it isn't about acting it's about being different and the word tuning just doesn't capture that tuning makes it look like feel like it's some kind of something you some recipe you go
through some you know mechanical thing you do some process that you get involved in that will tune you to a higher frequency oh take my meditation class and you'll tune to a higher frequency and that's all nonsense it just gives the stuff that is consciousness-based more of a mechanical feel to it that is not quite right so that's my reason for not really liking the word frequency being used it's it's a it's a word that doesn't really describe how Consciousness works and it tends to lead people to think that there's a a prescription a method
that will help you you know lower your entropy and increase the quality of your Consciousness there isn't there's nothing that you do that will do that it has to be what you be there's no action or series of actions or incantations or you know rituals or anything else that's going to affect your quality of consciousness anyway so that's just one kind of minor pick it's kind of a new Agy term that uh I don't care for very much and the other one is they would just kind of sit home and be and contemplate right and
think big thoughts and be happy and have Good Vibes and that sort of thing well that's nice but contemplation by itself is not really very useful it is for yourself but just doing things for yourself is not very useful in the sense that you could be doing things for other people so I would say contemplate if it helps you grow up think about yourself and who you are and why you do the things you do and use that to grow up contemplation is good self-inspection you know looking at yourself trying to improve yourself very good
thing to do but then go out and live it go out in the world and live it because lots of people can contemplate and intellectually they think well this is good and I should be this way and that way and uh they kind of convince themselves that they're highly evolved beings but they've never gone out and lived it they haven't gone out and lived it they've probably aren't it they probably haven't developed it that's what makes it real that's what in enables you to own it is going out and living it then you own it
that's why eard had to live on a park bench for a year or two he had to own it he had to be his not just an idea he had that's all in the intellect oh I had this idea and I can write a book about my idea but that's different than actually becoming it which he did he became it but it's only because he put in the hard work of living it going out in the world and being that way you see so the contemplative life of of U thinking about things and being happy
and being a high quality individual is all very nice but to grow up unless those individuals are just happy being stuck where they are to grow up they need to get out in the world and live it try out their ideas learn and then share which is what I said first they have to get out and share with the world but also they have to own it first otherwise it all stays in here the contemplative life is is a cerebral life and you can convince yourself of all sorts of things and you can convince yourself
you're the most grown up most loving most caring person on the planet and when you get out on the Mean Streets you're none of those things you're you're a frightened child and you wish you had a gun or something you know it's just you're you're none of those things so that's my kind of the picky fault that I would have with that what he said is true it could be a lot more true if he had emphasized that the people who do contemplate and they think good thoughts and they are well-developed they need to get
out and own it and they need to get out and share it valuable information is really nice but shared valuable information is even nicer you know it's useful to have this wonderful information great good for you but sharing it is even more important so write a book give lectures teach meditation go volunteer at the hospital volunteer to run a Cub Scout Pack do something to help share and help you own own it so you really walk your talk as well as just you know think your talk so those would be kind of my comments on
that and the last thing is that eard kind of made it sound like this was their job like this was this was their you know this is what they were meant to do they were just to come here and be that and that kind of hit me just a little wrong too it's not their job it's not that okay they come back to this world and they incarnate here because their job is just to hang out and stay home and and uh be good people and my my comment to that was nonsense these people are
just individuals who have grown up significantly more than the average and are sharing themselves with us they have no job or task or purpose other than to continue growing up and sharing that knowledge or that attainment with others I mean that's everybody's job it's not like they are special people with the special job of of having their low entropy lives amongst us and that's what they're here to do nonsense nobody has a job their job is the same job as my job and your job and everybody else's job their job is to grow up however
much grown they are it's not to sit back and say oh I'm grown up I'm just going to sit here and contemplate and let my glow help everybody else around me that's not what it's about their job is to keep growing up grow up more and you don't do that by sitting home contemplating well you may for some but then you got to get out and do it walk the talk you know show what you're really like and who you really are because that not only helps you grow up but it helps everybody around you
grow up it's like I talk about one of your questions once I talked about living in a cave being a Hermit where you live by yourself for 10 or 20 years and that supposedly is to make you really really low entropy and grown out you grown up you know when you finally walk out of your cave 20 years later but it doesn't work that way you grow up by interacting with other people you grow up by being challenged you grow up by having to deal with a rough and tumble world and still be caring and
positive you have to walk your talk you got to get out and and interact or you're not really going to grow up much you're just going to grow up in your own mind you're going to feel very grown up you're going to feel like you know you're the the mightiest of all wizards the you know the highest of all the high because you've been 20 years in a cave meditating all this time and obviously that'd make you grown up but you can meditate a thousand years and still not be grown up a bit you got
to get out and interact you got to walk to talk you can't just talk about it do it in a cave you know that's not how it works this whole idea in this virtual reality is to get out there and interact and have to make choices and make good choices that's the whole point of being in the virtu reality otherwise we wouldn't need a virtual reality just lock each person in the in the chat room up and make them stay by themselves you know and see if they don't come all out enlightened for their uh
time incarcerated in their their sale that doesn't that's not really what it's about so no they don't come here with that's their job their job is the same job they've always had and always will have and that's to grow up and be helpful to people that's their job and that's just everybody's job that's not just their job so they're no different than anyone else like these are a special group and class of people who come here to share their glow with us I thought was just wrong that isn't really what it's about at all now
he's making a point that to be very spiritual you don't have to make a big splash you don't have to you know get your name in headlines or you don't have to be known by a thousand people you can just live a very simple life that's true making a big splash is not necessary you can be a very high quality person and live quietly in your neighborhood but not locked in your house sharing your glow you got to get out and connect and and uh you know be helpful find ways to contribute to your community
find ways to be helpful there's so many ways that you can help that staying home and glowing for the benefit of the larger society just doesn't seem to me like a very good idea so that's they're not special people who have this job that's a all right maybe that's a metaphor you know i' say you have a job and that's to grow up so I've given you a job too but it's a not a special job it's a job that every everything with a Consciousness has even my dog has that job you know to to
grow up so it's nothing unique about that so other than that what he says is accurate and it is true but I think it's just lacking in uh some more explanation and he may have meant all the things that I said and just expected people would get that out of it I don't know and he uses the new age word frequency which I would think that he could find something better to say that would be uh less mechanical sounding like there's some way that you can tune yourself to a higher quality of Consciousness because you
hear that a lot you know you go to this Retreat and raise your frequency you know well going to a retreat is not going to raise your frequency growing up is going to change you and it's not about frequency frequency in Consciousness doesn't even make sense not there is no frequency in Consciousness yes maybe that's just me the physicist hung up on a on a definition I don't know okay Tom thank you that it does make a lot of sense and I'm glad you uh you gave that nuance to the to the concept I and
