THE GATHERING AWARENESS that humanity is going
forward in Astral Travel, beyond our wildest dreams, creates
a dilemma for our Conscious Mind. Once it is proven to us that
we can "go out" - and there are beings and "truths"
out there to explore (as
the "X-Files" intro reminds us) - a question arises
concerning how much time and energy we will allot to this most-important
of activities. After all, experiencing reconnected "selves"
and "realms" can become so distracting that a person
might easily cease wanting to function in physical form at all.
And that would be a big loss. There are huge advantages that
a physical interface brings to the party. Most of us are not
quite ready to drop our cocoon just yet.
I was walking through a mall one day and noticed a fellow wearing
a t-shirt that had a little box on it - the kind that comes
on your screen when Microsoft finds something wrong in a program
you are running. In the box was written: "Insufficient
Memory for this Operation." I couldn't help but smile.
I can absolutely relate! People of Expanding Consciousness (P.E.C.'s)
are constantly complaining in 3D about feeling "spacey"
and experiencing problems with short-term memory. I wonder how
many of us realize where all that "memory" is going?
We are literally building Bridges Across Consciousness - Transit
Points between "here" and "there," wherever
one might wish that to be. These Bridges do not exist outside
ourselves. They are Arcs of Energy which join waking consciousness
with all other consciousness everywhere. We are all part of
the same one Being.
The primary benefit for exploring linear continuity in 3D is
not the creation or resolution of problems. Those things happen,
of course, but they are not the real reason for our participation
here. Neither is it our personal dance of experience, which
is also a wonderful thing. The
Reconnections tell us that the lives we are living here
have already completed themselves, in a multitude of ways. They
are productions that are "in the can," as we say in
the movie biz, waiting for their release. We are simply walking
through them now, in the presence of our Expanded Self, focusing
on our technical skills as creators. This little insight was
released for mass mind consideration in the second
"Matrix" movie, in a conversation between Neo
and the Oracle. And there is much, much more to the story.
The Multidimensional Ship
In my own Astral Journeys thus far, I have encountered three
conceptual formats for dealing with travels that go beyond physical
reality. The
first is the Bridge Across Consciousness. There are many mornings
when I awake exhausted, as though I hadn't had much rest at
all. My body feels somewhat refreshed but my consciousness feels
like it just ran a marathon. It is those mornings when I realize
I've spent a great deal of my dreamtime out on the Bridge.
The second conceptual format is called a "Multidimensional
Ship." If a P.E.C.
is to continue functioning effectively in form, there needs
to be a supra-conscious allocation of energy to administrate
his (or her) dealings with The Multiverse. As mentioned earlier
in this series, this energy is referred to as "The Pilot
Self."
I'll let The Recons tell us more about this in their own words:
There
is much interest and excitement around this experience, known
as Astral Travel - connections, remembrances, focused intent
- all of which have power to provide for you an instant interface
with the Multidimensional Self. We have been offering you
this information in layers, so to speak, so that your consciousness
can upgrade itself naturally, and in total conformity with
the itinerary which you, yourself, laid down when you began
your human existence. Each tone, each idea we provide, will
produce its own special "journey" within. And there
is no need for you to miss a single one!
Welcome
aboard The Multidimensional Ship! Its observation deck is
your entire perceptual reality. And it is now in motion. YOU
are now in motion. If
you only realized how fast you were going, you would probably
feel a bit ill. In truth, many of you are currently experiencing
signs and symptoms of what we call Global
Acceleration Syndrome. We provide this title to honor
your medical paradigm, even though it is not any kind of official
medical diagnosis. Muscle aches and pains, lethargy, fatigue,
spacey-ness, panic attacks, depression, insomnia, memory-loss,
confusion - these are just a few of the uncomfortable side-effects
produced by the incredible velocity at which you are traveling.
Your world appears to continue as it always has because your
mind requires this in order to keep from flying apart. Your
anxiety and hesitancies are the same feelings shared by those
who sailed with Columbus. Bound for a new world, they trembled
as they sailed, believing their world to be flat. Even so,
many of you also tremble - certain that you may "go over
the edge" at any moment!
Spaceship
Earth is a Holographic Being. Structurally, it is like a gift
box that some imaginative person sends you for Christmas.
When you remove the lid, you find a slightly smaller box,
fully wrapped, just like the first one, containing another
(even smaller) box, which contains yet another, and another,
and another... all the way down to your one-celled creatures.
Each "level" of your Ship contains all of the basic
elements of every other "level." Some of the features
are minimized, in certain aspects, so that others can be maximized
and focused upon. But it's all there! And it's all synchronized,
like moving parts in a pocket watch. It all blends together
beautifully.
Phase
Shifting
The system of communication that is in operation between The Pilot
Self and The Ground Crew aspect is a toggle function, which refocuses
awareness back and forth between 3D and the Expanded Realms. This
toggle function is known as "Phase
Shifting." We could liken it to the multiple cameras functioning
in a TV studio.
The Reconnections continue:
The director's booth at a TV station has many screens,
receiving input from several cameras. Each
image on the wall is an actual image of what is happening,
although they each come from different angles. Changing from
camera "1" to camera "2" is a simple matter
for the Director. Meanwhile, the audience stays still, even
though their perceptions have changed drastically. You must
now realize that YOU are that director, even as you are the
audience as well.
In
the first step of your Return to Oneness, a person is washed
clean of all specific identifications with his current base
of reality. This is not accomplished by denying said reality.
Rather, it is accomplished by remembering his or her involvement
with all other realities as well. This willingness to leap
into a veritable abyss of possibility, clearing oneself of
any "silver cords" or other such protective devices,
provides the vibratory momentum needed for transport into
any other reality.
Do you think you are something? Then you are attached to what
you think that you are. Do you think that you are nothing? Then
you are attached to what you think that you aren't. It's only
when you realize that you are everything that you can finally
let go.
Phase
Shifting mixes and mingles Earthly Reality with that of the
Pilot Self. It is a continual movement, back and forth, between
the mundane focus and a magical voyage we are each taking to
points beyond imagination. Both actions are simultaneous, occurring
at different levels of vibration. The toggle action in the mind
is so rapid that many P.E.C.'s do not even realize it's happening.
If the reader has ever done study into subliminal
advertising, you will probably identify more clearly with
what I am describing. It isn't exactly the same thing, but similar.
Waking and Sleeping
The primary dichotomy being transmuted here are the twin concepts
of waking and sleeping. Many P.E.C.s complain of frequent bouts
with insomnia - finding themselves awake in the middle of the
night and sleepy in the middle of the day. This is all part
of the process. Just as "dark" and "light"
are now becoming one, so are the concepts of waking and sleeping.
One cure for the anxiety surrounding insomnia is to stop, during
your nightly journeys around the house, and say to yourself:
"I am asleep and dreaming. I will awake in the morning
well-rested and refreshed." Do this several times, and
go about your business. It works marvelously. After all, it's
all our own creation, right?
The concept of dreaming and dreams covers our Limitation
Consciousness from fully comprehending what is happening
when we make these excursions into The Multiverse. We take flights
of fancy, and refer to them as daydreams in order to
keep a firm foothold on what we believe is "real,"
and what isn't. When we journey out in this way, we say: "Oh,
it was just a dream, a whimsy..." and we assume that is
all there is to it. But it isn't.
More and more, humankind is admitting to the vastness of our
conscious capacity. As the Guides told us earlier, we didn't
just "think up" computers and cyber-technology, as
a race. We
remembered them from our inner experience of the Expanded Self
- the Greater Whole of Us - and down-stepped a tiny sliver of
that energy into what looks like a machine. That way, when we
get tired of being powerful, we can "turn off" our
computer, or we can "wake" from our dream, and return
to acting like "normal people" again. But friends,
we are so
much more than that!
Dreaming permits each and every one of us
to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives.
- William Dement
As this process continues, each person will create exactly the
experience he or she needs to form a magnetic link between 3D
and the rest of who we are. The appearance of leaving the body
is one of them, Trans-Physicality (leaping from body to body)
is another, and the Multidimensional Ship is yet another. The
point to remember in all this is: we are all one. Each
body-mind is "set" to reject an intrusion by any energy
that is not part of this Reconnection to Oneness. This means
that, before any energy can access someone's mind or body, it
first has to attain a state of unity with that person.
Communing With Your "Other"
The above statement regarding our Oneness with everything is
very similar to the basic rules of Classic Dream Interpretation.
Everything and everyone in a dream symbolizes some aspect of
self. To understand a dream, we use allegories or metaphors
to link the abstract with our tangible, daily self. This is
true whether we are awake or asleep. However, dream figures
can get especially dark and scary, if they aren't grounded to
some level of reality. So can figures encountered in Out of
Body Excursions.
We refer to these figures as our "Other."
They are Shadows,
aspects of self that we haven't quite integrated yet into our
personal idea of who we are. When the reflections are favorable,
admirable characters and we wish to embrace them with awe and
wonder, they are referred to as "Golden Shadows."
When they are repulsive, horrible characters who make us want
to run away, we refer to them as "Dark Shadows."
Just
as we're transmuting the dichotomy between night and day, so
are we transmuting many other parts of duality as well. Dancing
with the Shadow is part of that.
Next month, we'll talk about the third conceptual format I use
for dealing with Astral Reality. It is called a Crystal City.
As I am writing here, we are moving towards July 7, 2007 (7/7/07).
On that day, Nina
and I will make a journey to Chehala,
the 3D Interface for my
very own Crystal City here in Washington State. It is located
in the Olympic Mountains, and it fills my soul with new life
and vision every time I go there. We discovered this spot on
April 4, 2004 (4/4/04) and we took a Conclave
to visit there later that fall. The "Others" of Me,
who live in Chehala are always happy when we make this trip!
There is a fountain of pure spring water that pours from the
mountain, and as I sit and meditate, all manner of images dance
through my brain. Or, I am taken up into the City, where various
Counsels and Magistrates conduct Multiversal Exchanges.
Does this all sound like a video game or a fantasy movie? I
hope so. This is what we have in store for us in the days, weeks,
and years to come. I'll see you in September with tales of the
journey. As usual, your comments and questions are most welcome.
