Question: Could you describe the actual physical nature of what is going on inside me in a way doctors might speak of it? I have a fog in the brain, neck tension and headaches, and a vertigo that increases when I do any activity. What has changed recently with the shortness of breath?

Good evening. We are here. You may be surprised to find all of us speaking to you at this time [Note: This means it is Polaris, which includes Michael, but isn't only Michael] , but we are drawing on together a number of levels of expertise, if you will, so we can more adequately describe for you what is happening for you on a physical manifestation level.

In other words, we can describe for you on a number of levels what has been occurring for you within your body, and some of what has caused this to occur, both on a physical and on an energetic level.

As was expressed to you earlier, all of you come armed, if you will, with a great number of latent possibilities. These possibilities comprise various physical scenarios that may or may not be acted upon within the course of a single lifetime. In other words, you hold within you the capability to manifest a great number of "diseases" and conditions, only a few of which for most of you you actually see or feel. Certain things happen during the course of a lifetime that affect you. We have told you that you hold energy You hold experiences. You hold thoughts within your physical self. And at times these accumulation act as a catalyst for various physical possibilities that exist within you. This, then, is what has been occurring for you on a number of levels over a course of some time.

So with this particular condition that you have found yourselves thinking about, there is a certain latency quality that exists with it. Your scientists have told that a person is born with a condition and it either creates symptoms or it does not. If one does not manifest symptoms there is little need to check for them, and so many of these latencies go completely undetected.

On a purely physical level, therefore, we have already in part described for you the sense of the compression of neural pathways throughout your body, and that is a simplified approach to what is going on. There is, as you know, a certain type of pressure that is maintained within the body. There is the pressure of the blood, the pressure of all the fluids located within the body. Since they are in a more or less enclosed space, there is a tension placed on the outer membranes of everything that holds fluids within the body. Now as you know, the human body is mostly comprised of fluids of one sort or another. And the outermost tangible enclosure for these fluids is of course the skin. Now, the one area that is also relatively fluid is the brain. Now what is the brain exactly? Many suppose the brain is where the mind resides, and we would say there is an energetic location that the brain and the mind body share in one sense and on one level. The brain, however, is made up of specialized cells that are present in order to perform a specialized function. This is not unusual because every part of your body is made up of specialized cells designed to perform a specialized function. An interesting thing about the brain, however, is that it is designed to transmit a great deal in terms of what is known to you as electricity. In other words, it sends more or less electrical impulses through the neutral pathways to all parts of your body. It's a method of communication. There is, of course, a much simpler (and perhaps more effective) way of communication, because of course every cell of your body maintains an awareness of every other cell in your body. So if this is true, what then is the need for the neural pathways? If your brain shares an awareness with your big toe and through that awareness is able to make the big toe move, why then the neutral pathways that tell the big toe essentially the same thing? To simplify the reality of the awareness of all the cells in your body, the answer to that question is that sometimes cells forget things. They're busy doing cell things. And they do not always choose to maintain an awareness with every other part of the body. Therefore the brain can send a little electric jolt through the neutral pathways to travel down and wake up those cells down there in the big toe. So what is happening with you then?

Again we tell you that these pathways are compressed. There is swelling. There is pressure that is not within the norm compared to other people. We spoke to you that the body maintains pressures of the various fluids contained within it. And along the main neutral pathway, being the spinal cord, there is fluid around it. It floats in a warm bath of fluid that also is an electrical transmitter. So the pressure, then, of that fluid in your body is elevated. This then creates a constriction. Now what is causing this fluid pressure to be elevated? Again, there is an accumulation of sensations taken in and held over a long period of time. There was little outlet to display the great deal of anguish that was experienced and remained unexpressed. This then resulted in a constricting overall. Now you know through chemistry that if you increase pressure there will be a result. It could be that the temperature increases. It could be that the volume is affected. Would you think us too lighthearted if we were to tell you that your brain has sadness. It is a part of you, yes, but it also has its own consciousness and it is one of sadness. And it has caused it to want to encroached upon territory that does not necessarily belong to it. This sensation adds to the pressure .

Now what can be done to relieve this? How does one make the brain less sad? How do you allow to dissipate a lifetime of accumulated hurt? And even if you do so, the body has become used to operating in this fashion, and sometimes has little interest in making big changes.

We have spoken to you many times before on a mainly energetic level. In other words, talking to you about your experience emotionally and energetically. It is difficult to confine our discussion with you on a purely physical level, yet we see that it is possible that there is a body choice to simply allow this deterioration to continue regardless of the inner spiritual work you are doing to resist that deterioration. It sounds fatalistic, doesn't it? However, we tell you also that you are at all times creating this body and maintaining its creation. You could change your appearance at any moment if you believed you could. You are using this physical experience in order to gain access to levels of your Self that you felt you would not do so in any other way. You are having the experiences you wish to in this lifetime. You are attracting, through those experiences, additional experiences from which to learn from. But you could, if you chose to and believe you could, change it all in an instant.
Experiences as they are chosen in a lifetime are chosen largely because of the set of beliefs that you also choose to wear. If you believed, fully believed, in magic for instance, you would be capable of it. You would see many manifestations of it on a regular basis. It's there – you're simply choosing not to see it.

If you believed that you would be doing the "same work" without the external feeling impetuses to look at certain elements of yourself then you could do so. However, part of your set of perceptual lenses in this lifetime has been that you feel the world is acting upon you. It is not at present within your belief set that you can truly change the manifestation of your body, or that you could encounter these inner transformational elements without some dramatic external cause.

Question: I came up a hit of Arnold-Chiari Malformation on the internet. Do I have this?
