Consciousness.
Since our earliest childhood we have been subjected to ideas and beliefs that have shaped our understanding. Things that we have been taught are limited by the knowledge, perceptions and personal beliefs of our teachers. The same thing happens with books that we read - they are only to the limit of understanding of the author. Therefore we have been imposed by limitations, and this is a poor environment in which to enrich our understanding of Consciousness. We must learn to expand our understanding, over-ride the limitations and take on board that which we feel is right and acceptable within ourselves.
Our biggest stumbling block to understanding consciousness is considering that it is a function of ourselves as Beings in the material, physical world. Most people believe that it is a function of the brain. In all probability, we can consider the brain as a processor of information and what we think of as 'consciousness' is that we simply access the totality of Thought, everywhere. Possibly not just simply 'thought', but thought with understanding - we have already filtered out all thought not relevant to our thought processes. We are emanating the thought of our Being into the totality of thought, and at the same time receiving the thought of All That Is - the thought emanated by everything else. All things emanate the thought of itself and its awareness, through the electromagnetic field surrounding it, into the totality of thought. You, Me, the cat, the tree and even the stone on the path - everything. This is 'collective perception'. When you think about it, we are only made of the same materials as the Earth we live on - the cellular matter is made of the same atoms and molecules. The electromagnetic light field that surrounds and gives credence to all things is the communicating factor with everything else. This is the very basis of consciousness.
The next stumbling block is when we view consciousness in earthly terms of limitation, that is to say, polarity. Consciousness does not have polarity - therefore it can only understood in the limits of our material perception if we think in terms devoid of polarity. We must not think of either + or -, or for example fat or thin, black or white, etc., but in terms of perception where reality is both black and white, fat and thin, + and -, at one and the same time. It is only our perception that varies and determines whether something is black or whether we perceive it as white. We must learn to perceive it as both (like light is both a wave function and a particle function).
Now we are partly prepared to consider consciousness in the
light of the biggest paradigm shift of all - that consciousness
creates the Being - that particular body that we occupy at any one
time, and in whatever dimensional state we find ourselves. For
example in our physical, material body we think of consciousness as
being a fixed thing conforming to certain limits or criteria.
In reality there are no limits, no criteria. The material
experiences, once understood in their particular contexts give us
knowledge. Once that knowledge is fully understood within our
Being as feelings and emotions then it is stored as wisdom.
This wisdom from the physical plane is added to the sum total of
consciousness, for that particular phase.
It is the electromagnetic light field that surrounds us that has
taken the ideal from thought energy and transmuted it into the
material phase. Thus we are what we think.
Now, if we look at ourselves as multidimensional Beings, then we are capable of existence in another dimensional state, and the nature of that existence and the 'body' we inhabit is constructed by that particular level of the selfsame consciousness.
The experiences in this dimensional state are similarly stored as knowledge, then wisdom, unknown to us in our material minds, but stored nevertheless and added to that same sum total of consciousness. That wisdom has been emanated back into the energy field we call 'thought', to be accessed by any other at any time. So consciousness contains not only the information from our normal logical self, of which we are aware, but also all other cross-dimensional information.We can now see that our consciousness is vast and unlimited and it is impossible for us to perceive from our current vantage point. It may be helpful to realise that we are a vibrating energy field in reality, and not as solid as we think we are. Our solidity is created by our consciousness-perception, and we all seem to look alike in a recognisable environment due to 'collective perception'. We, in reality, are an energy in space.
Is it possible therefore that the various levels of existence
that are spoken about (planes and associated sub-planes) are really
planes or levels of consciousness - that selfsame consciousness that
we experience as a small part of our earthly, physical existence -
and further experience on a different dimensional state (therefore
different level or plane) when in meditation or working with our
unseen, non-physical brotherhood in soul rescue, healing or other
spiritual activity?
It may be true that all higher planes or levels are capable of
observing (perceiving) all planes below, but not above, so when
people go though the transition, they simply drop the habitual
physical level of consciousness perception, but open up to the next
level (soul rescue is basically encouraging them to perceive what is
about them). As such the consciousness will perceive that
dimensional state but also the one 'below' - that is to say the
physical also.
The eventual rise through 'higher' planes or levels of our
consciousness means that we can now perceive it ever-expanding and
becoming more unlimited in the terms which we normally think of it
as. Growing wider and wider and becoming more and more
unlimited until it is in contact with, and indeed part of, all other
consciousness - The 'Collective Unconscious' of Carl Jung, and the
'We are All One' of the new thinking. Occasionally we see
glimpses of this in our meditations, spiritual experiences and so on,
and with this realisation we can understand how we can be 'part of
everything' and yet retain individuality.
How we can be here and everywhere at the same time - and
talking of time, how can we exist in different time slots (different
dimensions) within the same moment of 'now'?
This question is one that is beyond the current scope of our
understanding, but will be revealed in the nearness of time. It is
probably something to do with the dimension that we currently occupy,
and our ability to move from that into another dimension of
experience. As our spirituality-awareness increases we will be
able to be aware of our own 'other dimensional' states, and also be
more aware of other dimensions and worlds. The movement into another
dimension is possibly connected to light and the information
connected to it. There is probably another continuum than
space-time; perhaps called time-light. Consciousness seems to be
unaffected by our understanding of time or spatial dimension.
Have you considered that we may be, at this moment, surrounded
by other intelligences, here and now, who exist in another dimension
of experience, but who are desperately trying to communicate with us?
They see us as that light field we mentioned above, and the
brightness and colour of the light field will give them information
about our 'spirituality' - or state of progress on the ladder of
spiritual evolution. In other words, the frequency and density of
consciousness that we possess, at that particular moment. Various
forms of communication have been tried, but mainly unsuccessful. It
is a total waste of time us sending out radio signals into space and
listening for a reply. The more successful form of communication that
they are now adopting is by the means of adjustments to consciousness
- usually called channelling. Truly, mind to mind. And the reason
that they are trying to communicate is to help us with our
translation from the current dimension of the Earth plane (3rd) into
the next dimension (4th), and perhaps further (5th). They come with
concern about us, our planet and our future, and they come with love
and compassion for us all. They come from a world where the idea
of 'helping others' is of a form far beyond our comprehension,
right now.
Once upon a time, I thought that there was only us here (material)
and non-physical forms when we had gone through transition (spirit),
but now I realise that there are many forms and graduations of the
non-physical existence, and that our cosmic brothers and sisters from
other worlds are perhaps one or other of this non-physical form, but
existing in another dimension unknown to us. In all probability
they may have gone through an elevation of state over many millions
of years to adjust to planetary conditions that made physical life
impossible. In fact, they have possibly come from our far distant
future to help us now - to correct the problems that originally
occcurred. How did they do it, and how do they arrive now?
Through an elevation and widening of consciousness, removing all
limitation, to an extent that we may only dream about at the present
state of our spiritual (consciousness) evolution.
