(Omal gives a very long and concise dissertation on emotions and their subcategories. He points out the harm they can do but also their usefulness as when Ashtar uses them. That leads into the topic of self-preservation and fighting for life as opposed to giving up to death.)

Omal: greetings and felicitations Russ and how are you functioning?

Russ: greetings Omal, well.

Omal: okay, last week, Tia's tantrum.

Russ: hmm-hmmm.

Omal: hmmm yes.

Russ: your call.

Omal: hmmm, let's keep it.

Russ: as you wish.

Omal: now the reason behind the keeping of it is that it is showing caring and concerning in a very passionate way.

Russ: well which is the whole subject that we got into in the first place which brought it up.

Omal: correct. The fact that she got very irritated and angry with the lack of respect as she sees it for your planet, is something that needs to be understood by other people. The fact that somebody that has never set foot on your planet has that much caring can be looked upon only as a positive. Okay now, let us look at emotional outbursts. Emotional outbursts occur for numerous reasons. One is strong belief and conviction, two is fear, three is anger. Let us stop with those three. Strong convictions, strong convictions serve the purpose of holding your opinion and making other people aware of your opinion. Emotional outbursts of the strong, conviction kind come from the heart, the heart being a phrase used to explain deep-seated belief. These moral outbursts being a sign of concern and passion on a subject regardless of what the belief are commendable because normally they are showing the person as they really are, as they think and believe. Anger, no let us look at fear first. Fear, emotional outbursts from fear derive primarily from, "I am scared, I want to protect myself, I want to push the person away or the persons away however I can." If it means appearing to be angry, then so be it. So you could say a subcategory of fear anger as opposed to just plain anger. And these outbursts are normally because the situation is out of control, the person is out of control of the situation and it can be physically threatening or life-threatening in some way. So we can put in another subcategory of fear of a life-threatening situation. And this is one of the most dangerous categories, fear of a life-threatening or physical threatening situation. People in that situation that have emotional outbursts are unpredictable and dangerous. They will do almost anything to attempt to survive. So, let us call that subcategory number three, fear survival. And that is probably the most dangerous category that I can think of. Not one of but probably the most dangerous subcategory and this is because the person is now bent totally on their survival, they will sacrifice anything to survive. No longer are they thinking in a loving, compassionate, clear way, their judgment is now totally clouded, they are running on hormones and chemicals within their own body that have no control over their thought processes. They will harm people, they will harm themselves, they will cause destruction. That is why it is the most dangerous subcategory. Finally, emotional outbursts of the anger kind. Again there are numerous subcategories involved in this and we will quickly go through the categories. There is self-anger, anger at another person. Disappointment anger and anger because of looking foolish. Now looking foolish, everybody does that from time to time. I've done it to myself. After all, if I did not make mistakes, I would not look foolish and I do make mistakes. I am not all-knowing, all-seeing as much as I would like to be, I am not, I am not perfect. It has been a long time since I have been angry. As Ashtar said, he mimics the emotion to get a point across, to get attention. So using anger can be a very useful tool if you mimic it but do not get angry. If you act out the emotion but keep yourself apart from that emotion. Self-anger, self-anger is basically where you make a mistake, you know that people have seen you make the mistake and you want to divert the attention away on a subconscious level. Sometimes it will make situations worse. Anger at somebody else because they have done something. That is a way of drawing attention to the problem and what has happened. Any questions?

Russ: now doesn't that with the most dangerous kind of anger, survival anger........

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: isn't that kind of countered by an amount of love shown to that person?

Omal: do you mean fear?

Russ: yeah, fear.

Omal: okay. At that point there is no control over the emotion, there is no control over the emotional outburst. Let us take a situation as bad as we can.

Russ: okay.

Omal: you are in an aircraft.

Russ: right.

Omal: you have two parachutes, three people. You have your bond mate and one of your sons. Who gets to wear the parachutes?

Russ: I do and my bond mate.

Omal: what about your child?

Russ: I carry him with me.

Omal: so you throw away two lives as opposed to one?

Russ: no, a parachute will carry two people as well as one.

Omal: let us say it does not.

Russ: ahhhh........then I'd give up my parachute for my bond mate and my son.

Omal: most people would not do that on your planet, you can always have more children. You can always find a new bond mate.

Russ: yeah but I don't see life as being this is my only life. I'll just come back and any show of that, it just helps my evolution anyway.

Omal: yes but it could be wrong for you to do that. You have to weigh the odds. If the emotion just takes over and you are totally in fear, then you are not thinking correctly. Survival fear has in the very wording states that there is no control. Survival fear, let us look closer at that phrase. Survival means to come through, to live through and the fear, fear is being very afraid of a situation. So survival fear is totally unpredictable, it is where the adrenaline is a stage beyond fight or flight, you have no control. You cannot make a clear, judgmental call on survival because your body is bent for one purpose and one purpose only, to survive. That is why is called survival fear. You understand?

Russ: oh yeah. I mean you saw that a lot back on Sirius when they went from third to sixth dimension and they had the 144,000 people in the pyramid and you had thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people's outside the pyramid all trying to get in (the Sirian Chronicles, Part 1).

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: I mean their whole thing was survival fear.

Omal: correct.

Russ: but that was because they didn't wish to die at that point.

Omal: correct.

Russ: they had nothing, they couldn't look further than their own death.

Omal: correct.

Russ: which is not a sixth dimensional way of looking at things.

Omal: correct.

Russ: you have to look at it beyond your death........

Omal: correct.

Russ: and you have to weigh the odds on what your death will bring about.

Omal: okay let us look at it another way. You are skiing, you hear a distant rumble above you. You look above you, you see the mountain coming down on you. All that white, beautiful, fluffy snow. What happens?

Russ: you transcend to the next level or to the next life.

Omal: aren't you going to try and escape the avalanche?

Russ: nah...it's moving way faster than you are.

Omal: maybe you can escape it, maybe you're far enough to ski out of its way?

Russ: if you can see it.......

Omal: Russ, don't take that approach of, "what is going to happen is going to happen. I am going to die so I will not fight it." Maybe it is part of your growth to fight and survive. Don't do that approach. That is what you are doing is, "it doesn't matter if I lose my life." That is not what it's about. If you throw away your life because you think you cannot survive, then you are not learning.

Russ: well let's take it to the next level then.

Omal: no, let us address this level first.

Russ: I am, I mean but the point of the fact is, okay let's say I fight as hard as I can to stay alive........

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: and yet I still die.

Omal: then you have tried.

Russ: now I have tried but what's that going to do to my progression at that point? Do I then accept that.....

Omal: that is besides the point.

Russ: okay.

Omal: that is besides the point. The fact that you have tried instead of looking up and seeing the avalanche coming towards you and going, "okay, I'm dead, I will sit here and meet my maker." You are dropping out on your obligations, remember the discussion on obligations.

Russ: uh-huh.

Omal: to try to survive in a situation is the important thing because you may have a role to play in the future. Let us get back to the avalanche, let us say that it happens tomorrow.......

Russ: all right.

Omal: right? And you sit down and go, "okay I am to die, I will die here." But, planned in the future was a joining that would result in the offspring or a child that was to play an important role in the future of your planet that you in your waiting period had planned to give birth to or to help conceive. The young lady in her waiting period with you had planned accordingly and had their life bent on that purpose. The offspring that was waiting in the waiting period for the appropriate moment to be conceived now has nobody in the group to help focus and point in the direction. So you have now created a karmic problem. The mother of the child does not have the enjoyment and pleasure of raising that child. That child, in his waiting period, no longer has the structure that has been agreed upon. Or there is another alternative to look at. Let us say that you had agreed to meet somebody that you would give a life-changing experience to. That does not take place so that karmic debt has not been paid or that action has not yet come to pass. So by giving up and not fighting and not using that survival instinct, the survival fear to survive, then you have caused karmic damage. However, let us say you are in a situation where you are, let us take the Titanic. You are on the Titanic, you know the ship is sinking, it is the last boat. There is a child, you put the child in the boat and therefore give up your seat, your chance to survive. That is possibly a karmic experience of ultimate sacrifice. Even in the lifeboat you may die from exposure so it is not a certainty that you will live. You may live as in the avalanche however, you are now sacrificing yourself for somebody else. How you react also depends on what has been discussed in the waiting period where you agree upon certain karmic debts that need to be paid and certain lessons. Maybe if you were on the Titanic and you took a spot that was supposedly for a child and you survived, you now have to live with that guilt and that in itself could be part of the learning process. So you have to weigh the actions very carefully. You understand?

Russ: uh-huh, absolutely.

Omal: so doing the sit down and die routine is not a good way to go because you are basically opting out of your karmic lesson. Trying to survive, even if death comes your way is the obligation unless there is instinctual feeling that it is futile and you will die anyway and then there is only one option left.

Russ: well, can I ask a question though about somebody who was very highly evolved and yet chose that path out?

Omal: (chuckles) okay.

Russ: Sananda.

Omal: what was his wording on his death?

Russ: well in his wording, he shows a sacrifice.

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: that he was dying for.....

Omal: "forgive me father for they do not know what they do."

Russ: right, but yet he did not fight. I mean even when Peter cut off the ear of the guard who came to take him.

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: he chastised Peter and said, "this is my destiny, I have to do this."

Omal: the ear was actually cut off after the fact, Sananda had already been incarcerated and arrested at the point.

Russ: oh.

Omal: he was sitting in the courtyard and it was not a guard, it was somebody asking him. And the comment was, "before the rooster crows three times you will betray me."

Russ: well stories get mixed up.

Omal: yes.

Russ: okay but he never fought, he never argued, he accepted his fate and went willingly to his death.

Omal: but, listen to the wording, "forgive them father for they do not know what they do." He is giving absolution. Certainly he is not fighting, certainly he is not arguing. Look at the situation, they had already planned his death.

Russ: right.

Omal: if he had died, violently resisting arrest, what purpose would it have served? None.

Russ: none.

Omal: by his placid accepting of his fate, what did that do?

Russ: it taught valuable lessons.

Omal: correct and it created a myth around him. By offering absolution and standing and accepting his fate, what did that teach or what happened from that?

Russ: well the lesson passed into immortality.

Omal: correct which in turn did what? It laid down a set of principles that has lasted.....

Russ: 2,000 years.

Omal: correct.

Russ: okay, the point is though, I don't see as any incarnate being could ever go willingly to their death unless for example as you say the Titanic they were sacrificing themselves. The natural instinct of everyone is to fight for life.

Omal: correct.

Russ: I mean if the avalanche is coming of course I'm not sit down, I will fight for my life......

Omal: correct.

Russ but at some point you know you're going to die, to accept your death in a form that you have no choice in the matter. For example, if you were to be executed.

Omal: which is what was going to happen to Sananda, there was no way out of that.

Russ: right. Now let's say if the avalanche is coming, I'm going to die anyway and my friends are out of the path of the avalanche and they're watching and they see me fight and try to get out but they see that all of a sudden there is no way I'm going to get out and they see me instead accept my fate. Does that pass on into immortality as did Sananda's? No, because I don't have the same destiny as his did but yet it will teach some lesson.

Omal: yes it will teach some lessons. Where death is unavoidable, then it is better to die either appearing to try, to survive because other people will look and say, "well, he fought to the end, he was brave." If you sit down and try to avoid it, sit down and say, "okay, I'm accepting my fate." That can be looked at two ways. One, "hey, he just gave up, he might've made it" or, "he died with dignity." You understand?

Russ: uh-huh.

Omal: now with the situation where it is inevitable.

Russ: yeah, like the execution.

Omal: like the execution, then it is better to go with dignity because in dignity and standing before the execution squad, let us say you are going to be executed by a projectile weapon.

Russ: uh-huh.

Omal: if you stand up and they offer you a blindfold and you say, "I don't need a blindfold", that has two effects. One is that you are facing your adversary face-to-face, eye-to-eye and secondly, it portrays you as having a strong will. "I am to die, I will die with honor and dignity. I will not be lashed to a post, I will stand tall and brave." Which is basically saying at the end, "you may have captured me, you may have tried me and you're planning to execute me but you cannot take away my dignity. You cannot take away who I am........"

Russ: the lady.......

Omal: in Texas......

Russ: in Texas correct. A person who I felt went with dignity.

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: she could not escape her fate, she had come to understand Christianity and religion......

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: and she never fought against the accepted role that she was to play for her final moments of life.

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: and even the Pope asked for clemency but yet all the way to the very end where they finally gave her the injection, she had a smile and dignity and went with grace.

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: I thought it was a very valuable lesson for many people.

Omal: correct. But lastly, and this is the last statement, look at what she did. Look what troubles she had caused and what harm she had caused. For a religious leader to interfere in another country's code of ethics is wrong. Even though it was done with a good heart and good intent, it is interference. Thank you.

Russ: thank you.
