the Affinity Factor: Questions and Answers Page 1
CARMEN: What I gather from the Affinity Factor is that, if I have more negative things coming my way, then I have to be careful not to think, "Oh, my gosh, I must've been a been a really bad person to have all this stuff coming my way." Or instead say, "Okay, this is a challenge. I think that's one of the biggest things I've been working with.
THERRY: Okay.
JENNY: What ...I think the Affinity Factor is the ...Karma's tool to be able to, I don't know I'm not in a good state today. Can I pass? Sorry.
THERRY: Okay. Paul?
SANDY: One thing that struck me in reading the Affinity Factor is, that frequently we think in terms of very specific individuals or specific things when it's the pattern that we're getting to balance out a Karmic Debt and if we have something that has to be worked out with an individual but that individual's not there, people too often think that they're working out something with one person when it is the pattern and that person represents whatever Karmic Debt that has to be equalized and you for them. So it's not one person to one person and that is what affected me this time.
KRISTIE: I pass.
KAY: What I understood that the Affinity Factor is, is that it's a law that sets the relationship...the one to one relationship between the individual and it's Karma. That's what I mainly understood the definition is.
THERRY: Does it say anything else to you?
KAY: It's uhm...it says a lot about Karma and how it...you're in a loop and then all that stuff but
THERRY: Okay.
MIKE: One of the things that uhm stood out to me this time reading it was about how integral it is just in creation itself about the attractive and repelling forces in matter basically. That was something that I didn't think I was aware of before. It's that fundamental, let's say. That's about it. I understood it, I think.
FRANK: Well, to me it seemed pretty straight forward of what it is, but at the same time, the implication is there that the mechanisms, the inner mechanisms for Karma are so complicated that you have to imagine that it's going to be impossible to be able to ever actually read your entire Karma.
THERRY: Okay.
SAM: The Affinity Factor is that mechanism by which Karma directs individuals to experience their predestined choices that they use their Free Will to get into. Uhh...one part though uh...I wasn't sure. It seems that at one moment, the Affinity Factor and the Alliance of the Rule were being used interchangeably and I kind of think they're the same but on different levels so I need to get that clarified later.
CAREY: I pass.
CILLA: I pass.
ANDY: Well, what they said, pretty much.
PAUL: {Chuckle]
THERRY: Okay. Q & A.
ANDY: Can I start? Under the heading, this is just a clarification, if this is a typo or under the heading...under the heading of the Affinity Factor, it said "Talisman". I thought it was supposed to say Tallyman.
THERRY: Yeah, it is Tally Man.
ANDY: Okay, cuz it said Talisman over there.
THERRY: No, it's Tallyman.
ANDY: Okay, so that's just a typo, right? Well, the first sort of question has to do with the Third Auric Chakra. And that is, is all Predestiny including all limitations written into the Third Auric Chakra?
THERRY: No, the Third Auric Chakra deals only with mobility.
ANDY: So only the Predestiny limitations of mobility?
THERRY: Anything that has to do with something that you're changing. It doesn't matter if it's changing your mind, changing your opinion or changing your position in life or uhh walking across the room. Anything with mobility, movement, that's written in the Third Chakra.
CAREY: Can it also include dreams for instance? Can it include the type of dreams you might have?
THERRY: Only in terms of mobility. The other Chakra takes care of the content and the emotions. Remember, you have nine (9) Chakras and they all work together. So you never know when one leaves off and the other begins cuz they're all woven together into one strand called "whoever the person is." But the third one deals only with mobility or malleability.
SAM: Can you explain further the relationship between the Affinity Factor and the Alliance of the Rule?
THERRY: Okay, the Alliance of the Rule for the lack of a better term, is the basic contract. The...It's what you must agree to or have agreed to before you could be allowed to descend on the Astral Plane of Common Reality. The Affinity Factor is the basis tool that is used by the Alliance of the Rule to make certain that somebody doesn't pay for your errors and that you don't pay for somebody else's errors. It's Karma's Tallyman. It's very, very closely tied to the Law of the Moment in that it does three things: verify the past, accepts the present and writes the script for the future. So the Affinity Factor is a very big enforcer of the script.
SAM: Playing devil's advocate for a second, cuz I know someone else would want to know the answer to this, even though they're not here. It all sounds really complex. It sounds like some gigantic computer system.
THERRY: It's a great big puzzle.
SAM: Right. How can you provide anything, that it's just not, "Hey, everything happens randomly? Everything we do is just a random thing since you can't tie it directly to any experiences you had in the past.
THERRY: There is no proof to it.
SAM: So how can you...how does someone...
THERRY: A proof...what you're basically asking is, what is the nature of proof and... What would be the nature of proof for each individual that is seeking? Obviously those who are not seeking would have no need for proof in this area cuz there would simply be rejection. But those who are seeking, there are certain feelings inside them that tell them, "Hey, right on!" That's like when you ask is there any proof to the Affinity Factor. It's like asking, "Is there any proof that God exists?"
SAM: So if you say it all comes down to a feeling inside, doesn't it just go to a person what they choose to believe or faith or...?
THERRY: Everything's by right of Free Will. You will always believe or accept or abide by the stuff that you yourself believe in. If you do not believe in something, it won't exist. "As it is written above, so it shall be loosed below." So everything's by right of choice.
PAUL: There's billions and billions examples on the physical level I mean, just in physics alone. About the Affinity Factor, are you referring to the Affinity Factor everywhere? In all dimensions?
THERRY: Well, it's the same, it's just that it's uhh specialized for each person.
PAUL: Yeah, I thought...
SAM: Well, this is, for example, I hit my thumb with a hammer, okay...I can see the relationship to that but there's not that one to one immediate relationship in the stuff you're talking about now.
PAUL: Stuff, you're calling it stuff?
SAM: For example, I kill somebody now, there's no way I'm ever going to be able to peg that I murdered 32 lifetimes becuz it's a payment from killing somebody this lifetime.
PAUL: Okay.
SAM: When I have no recollection, no realization of the past events...
THERRY: Well, that's what the Tallyman does, the Tallyman records.
SAM: Right. I'm talking about how a person can consciously make those connections.
THERRY: You can't.
FRANK: It'll take a long time.
THERRY: The only thing you can do is infer based on a law. The law says that if...the law of the Tallyman says that if you are ready to deal with a specific Karmic Debt but the original people that you incurred it with are not available, then anyone whatsoever who fits the same pattern can substitute.
SAM: Using what Paul was saying, for example, if I hit my finger with a hammer, I get immediate pain.
THERRY: Well, no, that's really cause and effect, that's not the Affinity Factor.
SAM: Well, if I kill somebody they will die...
THERRY: You cannot use hitting yourself with a hammer becuz that has nothing to do with the Affinity Factor. Well, I suppose it does, but only if you far reach becuz if you hit yourself with a hammer and somebody else says, "Ouch!" that would be the Affinity Factor. But basically it's just cause and effect.
PAUL: There's these other examples...like you even used this one regarding the north pole of the magnet versus the south pole of a magnet that they seek each other, so there's an Affinity Factor there.
THERRY: Yes, there's a specific set of laws that governs how each and everything will react to one another.
PAUL: So it's just not cause and effect.
THERRY: Well, it's based on cause and effect but the Affinity Factor uses cause and effect as one of its guidelines.
ANDY: Is the balance of an ecosystem the Affinity Factor? Where if you take one thing out of it...(in louder voice) is the balance of an ecosystem an example of the Affinity Factor where you take one element out of it and it screws the whole thing up?
THERRY: Yes.
JENNY: What determines how fast it uhm pairs a cause with an effect?
THERRY: Available time.
JENNY: Available time? So if I do something to someone if there's the available circumstances to fit the debt I can...
THERRY: Well, what happens is, as you live moment by moment, as you write your script for your future, uhh a certain part of that script is superceded on top of a schedule. What that schedule is, no one knows, cuz it's different for everybody. How it gets scheduled, nobody knows. There's no way of telling. But there is a definitive schedule for each individual and their deeds.
ANDY: What would determine the schedule as far as what happens in A Situation or a Happening?
THERRY: I've already told you nobody knows.
CAREY: Could there be a...uhm you hear about that term, instant Karma? Could you...that could exist as well?
THERRY: Yes.
JENNY: Is it true that uhm...if you're a seeker that things will go faster? I mean like...the Affinity Factor?
THERRY: Yes.
JENNY: Okay.
ANDY: Are you referring to a form of accelerated Karma?
THERRY: Yes.
ANDY: Is that made possible because you have less Karmic Debt or is that some other mechanism that would cause such a thing?
THERRY: Uhh...when you're a seeker, you have a more active Other World Teacher, so you just understand more.
SAM: I don't understand.
THERRY: Huh?
ANDY: There was a passage in the writing that said that if an entity was advanced enough and had strong enough will - I'm paraphrasing - that it's possible to interfere with the laws of the Affinity Factor. I would assume that there would be some kind of backlash to that.
THERRY: Yes, there is.
ANDY: And my next question is...!!
THERRY: Nobody knows.
ANDY: Yeah.
THERRY: There's no way of knowing what that backlash is for each individual. You can't. Besides, if you forgive the fact that on Planet Earth, I doubt that anybody is strong enough to override the Affinity Factor...
MIKE: But then it says, if you could, you wouldn't.
THERRY: Correct, if you're smart enough.
MIKE: I thought that it was saying that if you're ...you know if you have the wherewithal and ability to get to that level of power, it would just come automatically, you would know to not mess with it kind of...
THERRY: Correct.
MIKE: So it would be moot whether you could or not.
THERRY: Correct.
ANDY: But people can be corrupted, right?
THERRY: Well, as you rise in spirituality and in power, it becomes less likely that you'd be corrupted. It's more likely that you'll be corrupted on the lower levels as you're busy interfacing with the lower Gods.
ANDY: In the time of the psychic wars of Atlantis, where there any entities that were messing with the Affinity Factor?
THERRY: No.
SANDY: Therry, I have a question. I'm hoping it's on subject. To preface this, I will tell you, I just read a story about a boy, a genius and this is a true story, who was 14. He was at a genius level I.Q., had done a zillion things through his 14 years of beyond any normal human's accomplishments. He'd just gotten a driver's license permit and he had said that he'd want to give all his organs away in the event of his death. He was a fairly stable child emotionally according to this article. Well, one day, his parents came home and he'd killed himself. They had no clues, there were no notes. Within 24 hours, he saved...his body parts saved 20 or 30 people becuz they gave them away however they did it. A psychic was interviewed who said the boy was deeply empathic and he was of a higher level and that he knew about saving these other lives. And also by taking his own life and understanding the pain of suicide, he will then be able to help other potential suicides.
THERRY: Correct.
SANDY: Is this all possible?
THERRY: Yes.
SANDY: Even though he's going to be in the suicide loop?
THERRY: Yes.
SANDY: But he had advanced enough that the...
THERRY: Remember, you speak even though he's in the suicide loop. Time and space are telescopic. A suicide loop for one person for his time is not the same time that is on Planet Earth.
SANDY: And if he was on a higher level of development he was also saving those other lives with those body parts...all tied in?
THERRY: Yes.
JENNY: And he still has to pay for suicide Karma?
THERRY: Yes.
SANDY: So the...he had...assuming he was not predestined to take his life, he was choosing it...
THERRY: By right of choice.
SANDY: For learning purposes?
THERRY: Yes, but he was of higher development.
SANDY: Well, the article referred to him as an Angel on Earth.
THERRY: Right.
SANDY: All I know, he was a genius I.Q. and deeply empathic.
THERRY: Yeah.
ANDY: Which brings up a question I had, which was...in the writing it had talked about Predestiny being the effect of a cause. Uhm...can...does the Affinity Factor also take into account if the person...let's say, in the in-between time or let's say, if they had a life review if they had the freedom to say, "I wish to learn such and such in the next life," the Affinity Factor is what sets that up?
THERRY: The Affinity Factor takes absolutely everything...you remember the Law of the Moment, you write your script for the future. That's the Affinity Factor. Absolutely everything, your thoughts, your desires, your hopes, your misgivings, everything.
PAUL: Is there some significance - there probably is - but maybe you can tell me what it is - why the Third Chakra is around the knees?
THERRY: No, I don't have that information.
KAY: I have a question. What is the difference between Free Will and individual authonomy?
CAREY: Autonomy.
KAY: Autonomy.
THERRY: Autonomy? Autonomy is simply separation from people such as when you're a child you're under the domain of your parents. Now when you gain autonomy, you leave your parents' house and you have your own household. Free Will, of course, gives you the mobility to change from your parents' house to your own.
SAM: But also implied in that, the more Free Will you have, the more autonomous you are from your Predestiny or a Predestiny...
THERRY: No. Uhm...you cannot be autonomous from Predestiny, otherwise that would change the name of Predestiny.
SAM: Alright, but if you have Free Will then you're...
THERRY: Yeah, but it's only Free Will that is allowed to you within the sphere of what is predestined. See Predestiny will not tell you the limits of what you can do within a scenario. It will only bring that scenario to you and then Free Will takes over.
ANDY: In the writing, it stated that if a person is not available to equalize a Karmic Debt that the next best person will be ...uh there. And it mentioned a couple of times about persons stuck in a loop. Could that person have already worked out their Karma because the other person was stuck in a loop, let's say.
THERRY: Yeah, it's possible.
KRISTIE: Anna and Tony sent an e-mail with a couple of questions. From a paragraph, open quotation, "It must be remembered that being available to be a pawn in another's games was one of the prerequisite conditions set by the Alliance of the Rule when we the Dreamer decided to first enter Lower Middle Earth's Astral Plane of Common Reality. As we dream, our illusions...each plays one or more parts in other people's games. And so too, do each who descend get to play a part in the Dreamer's games." We could conclude that there is only one dreamer and that all of us are just part of the dream of the Dreamer?
THERRY: No, it depends on what level the Dreamer is. Remember, in the Astral Plane of Common Reality, each individual is unique. While he's not totally separated from the rest of his species, he is unique. His dreams are his, his experiences are his, his learning is his.
KRISTIE: Okay. The next question is from another paragraph, "The Affinity Factor is that aspect of Karma that pairs specific causes with specific effects in accordance with an individual's Predestiny to experience A Happening at some specific point in time, space and circumstances." The question relates the Affinity Factor to Predestiny. At the same time, the paragraph open quotation, "It must be remembered that there is a close knit relationship between the Affinity Factor, what we call Free Will and an individual's autonomy from one's parents, from one's friends, from one's enemies, from one's love and from one's games," close quotation, relates the Affinity Factor to Free Will. It is clear the relationship between the Affinity Factor and Predestiny, but how can it be related to Free Will?
THERRY: Uhh, the Affinity Factor brings about a specific set of experiences like for a lady, let's say, the experience as she becomes pregnant - she's having a baby. Well, the actual experience can start when she becomes inseminated, when she's having sex and it can go all the way to when the child is actually born and sometimes even more than that. Sometimes it's shorter than that. So within the experience, there's a certain amount of Free Will, that the individual has to make choices and that's the difference.
KRISTIE: Like getting an abortion or...?
THERRY: That's correct.
KRISTIE: Like how to have the child...in a bathtub or in a hospital or...
THERRY: Or out in the fields.
KRISTIE: Right. [Laugh] Okay. That's all. She sends a hug and her love and their love, since it's both Anna and Tony.
THERRY: Okay. And we need to have a copy of this handout and send it to her.
KRISTIE: Okay.
THERRY: I guess we'll have to send it to her by post cuz it's too big to be sent by e-mail.
KRISTIE: Yes.
PAUL: Why don't you zip it?
KRISTIE: We could zip it.
MIKE: Zip it good!
PAUL: You can compress it and uncompress it on the other end.
MARIO: You can send a text file.
PAUL: You know how to do it, right?
KRISTIE: Yeah, we can try to send it.
THERRY: Okay, we can try to zip it.
MARIO: I have a question.
THERRY: Okay.
MARIO: At the end of the reading, there's a long paragraph that says, "It is written while my challenges the clouds, my feet stay upon the ground" and it keeps going and there's one line that says, "It is written that I am that I am." What does that mean?
THERRY: You are who you are. You are a collection of all your deeds, your thoughts, your hopes, your dreams, your relationships, your angers, your emotions. Absolutely everything that is a part of what describes you. That's what you are.
CARMEN: Therry, when you yell at us, is that part of your whole collectiveness also? Like when you yell at us.
THERRY: When I yell at you?
CARMEN: Yeah.
THERRY: It's cuz you need it.
CARMEN: Oh okay. We could have Karma...
THERRY: It's a way of having your Other World Teacher uhhh say something to you strongly.
CARMEN: Through you? Okay.
THERRY: Well, it doesn't matter who. It doesn't have to be me who yells at you. It could be anybody.
SAM: That's our answer when we yell at you too, so...
[Chuckles]
THERRY: Yeah, but that...I got a big back. It just rolls off.
CARMEN: King Kong.
ANDY: I have a question concerning the large paragraph at the end of the reading just as Mario stated.
THERRY: Okay.
ANDY: My question has to do with the line that says, "My heart..." well, it says, "My mind can touch" something or the other and my heart only touch the limits of my thoughts." To me that had a very interesting implication of how the Affinity Factor affects you via your language because my heart may only touch the limits of my thoughts - your thoughts are your language.
THERRY: That's correct.
ANDY: And so that to me was showing the intertwining of how the Affinity Factor was doing its thing in the language arena.
THERRY: That's correct. Everything that you know, think, feel, is predicated upon your command of the language. Your whole illusion is created based on your command of the language.
ANDY: So if your command of the language grows, in a sense, you're actually altering the effect of the Affinity Factor becuz your limitations are less.
THERRY: Yes.
ANDY: It's Free Will though?
THERRY: Yes, but you can't alter Predestiny.
ANDY: Right.
THERRY: You only alter the amount of Free Will that you have within each experience.
MIKE: I've got a couple of questions if that's okay? Uhm, could you clarify...for instance, the Third Auric Chakra, as I understood it...sorry, as I understood your description of the Third Auric Chakra, from what I understand, you have...or it records or it has recorded within it, the Alliance of the Rule as well as the individual's specific Karmic Debts. Is that correct?
THERRY: Yes.
MIKE: And so, when Iwhat that says to me, correct me if I'm wrong, it's kind of like you have this list of rules and all your debts are constantly being uhm matched with against them, finding out, you know, where you need work and what not, what's paid for, what's not paid for. Is that what's going on there?
THERRY: No, not in the Third Chakra. The Third Chakra is checked to find out if there can be a change in something. Remember, it deals with mobility, not content.
MIKE: So it's kind of like a locked gate or something or some kind of a gate?
THERRY: Yeah, like say, for instance, the uhhh...you want to change your personality. Well, the Third Chakra will be consulted to find out if change in that area will be allowed. If it will be allowed, then the Automatic Pilot will be opened for pre-programming. IF it's not allowed, you're just spinning your wheels.
MIKE: That actually leads me to another question I thought of. Uhm...I was wondering about the whole mechanism by which this works. Maybe like the physics of it. Is it based in a kind of electromagnetic kind of...
THERRY: Nobody knows that.
MIKE: Nobody knows that? Okay!
THERRY: At least I don't know that.
MIKE: Well, if you don't know it, uhhh, you know...!
THERRY: Well, there's a whole lot of entities up there that are a whole lot smarter than I am.
MIKE: Really? Can we have guest appearances?
