"Forgiveness, love and our connection with the Divine is the medicine that is healing the sickness of our time."
- J. Artos Roske

TURN UP YOUR LIGHT IS EASY-TO-UNDERSTAND, APPLICABLE INFORMATION about 3rd, 4th and 5th dimensional levels of consciousness. Understanding this replaces limitation, judgment, frustration and stress, with freedom, respect, serenity and compassion. Included will be how the Laws of Polarity condition and limit the brain, and how to gain dominion over brain function. With this knowledge, you can increase you ability, capacity and effectiveness, and experience unlimited creative freedom. And thus, you are able to add your enlightened frequency to the collective consciousness. This is our true legacy...

Croak if you want rain
From the beginning of humanity‚s 1,000,000-year history, we have misunderstood the universe. With limited knowledge, all cultures devised distorted ideas about the nature and process of Creation. Adherence to custom was compulsory, lest any deviation threaten the precarious life of the community. Religion, positioned to devise and impose these ideas, was always the dominant cultural force.

Prehistoric spiritual life was based on the practice of magic. Magic assumes there are rules in natures, which by the appropriate acts, can be used to control nature. Through these practices, they attempted to control natural events, mimicking the process they wanted to bring about, or enacting a drama in which it was represented.

For example, frogs croak with the coming rain. Prehistoric man sees this, and thinking the frog‚s croaking brought the rain, he thinks he can do this too. He dresses like a frog and croaks. When rain does not result, he seeks other such relationships and devises more such rituals.

Tick tock, tick tock - dimensional evolution begins
From the perspective of dimensional shift, the most momentous change came with the need to create divisions of time. Early humanity was aware of night and day, and seasonal changes, but without specific delineations of time. They lived in an awareness "of the moment," without a need for future decision-making and planning.

As agriculture developed, cultivation required specific seasonal treatment and ample water, necessitating a knowledge of seasons and a calendar. Babylonians were the first to devise such a system. They saw their initial unit of time as the day. Around 4000 B.C., the month was devised, beginning at each new moon. Then around 2000 B.C., they settled on a 12-month, 360-day annual cycle. Sometime thereafter, weeks were divided into seven days, the day was divided into hours, minutes and seconds, and the first sundial was developed.

In the second or third century B.C., Mesopotamians developed the first calendar, with a seven-day week and 24-hour day. Egyptians later developed an almost perfect 365-day solar calendar. Then Gaius Julius Caesar (100-44 B.C.) established the Julian calendar of 365 1/4 days, accounting for the partial day with a leap year every four years. This estimate was too much and by 1582 lead to a ten-day error. Pope Gregory XIII ordered it corrected, and established the 365-day calendar we use today.

The expanded awareness time bestows initiated this first step toward liberating humanity from the ignorance of 3rd dimensional confinement. Yet time was only one of two major advances. The second was humanity‚s changing perception of space.

The box
For millennium, it was thought we live in a closed system between the sky - a ceiling, and Earth - the floor. As far back as 4000 B.C., Babylonians saw the Universe as a chamber, with Earth as the floor, towards which all things fell. Egyptian‚s viewed the Universe as a rectangular box - its greater length running up and down - with a bottom and Egypt at the center. They saw the sky as a flat or vaulted ceiling supported by columns - the surrounding mountain peaks - with stars as lamps hanging from the sky by cables. Along the edge was a great river on which traveled a boat that carried the Sun.

By the 4th century B.C., it was generally known that Earth is spherical. In 300 B.C., Ecphantus proposed the daily revolution of Earth on its own axis, and at the center of the universe. Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543) said Earth rotated on its own axis and revolved around the sun. In 1516, when Magellan returned after a three-year circumnavigation, this was fact. They never fell off the edge of the earth, proving that Earth is a sphere. After nearly a million-year span of ignorance, scientific inquiry determined that the universe is not a closed system.

In the early 1600s, Dutch lens-grinders are thought to have constructed the first refracting telescope and compound microscope. Imagine how these two nearly simultaneous inventions changed humanity‚s perception of reality! Suddenly the world was broader, bigger, deeper and smaller than they could know. Since religion dominated scientific discovery, these two inventions challenged religious doctrine.

The sides disappearing from the box, humanity was beginning to accurately experience its place in the universe. And with it, the nascent beginning of freedom.

All development follows a blueprint
Change always occurs when something is suddenly or dramatically altered, taken away, or when something new is introduced. (Read Uranus from A Clarion Call for Collective Transformation. Email me if you don't have it, and I'll send it to you.) One seemingly small change can ultimately disrupt entire cultures and their systems of power. And now, a change in perspective can quickly change our entire world.

Ignorance and negative perception inhibit the spirit of discovery and change. They prevent or delay dimensional shifts in consciousness. The facility with which cultural change is effected depends largely on the range of freedom allowed in a culture. The greater the range, the more extensive the change. Likewise, a narrow range minimizes opportunity for change, and thus, for liberation and freedom.

In actuality, all conditions of consciousness are desirable frequencies and manifestations within Creation. Recent discoveries in quantum physicists reveal that we live in a multi-dimensional, expanding universe of energy, light and consciousness... an intelligent universe that extends inconceivably beyond what we can even begin to comprehend.

"The universe is a single, unified field of intelligence that is superficially complex,
fundamentally simple, superficially diversified and fundamentally unified."
- John Hagelin, quantum physicist

The universe is comprised of an unknown number of dimensional levels, each with its own natural governing laws. Each dimension is a universe in itself - a state or condition of consciousness defined within certain parameters. After the first dimension, each subsequent one becomes increasingly more complex and inexplicable, with specific waveforms, levels of energy of differing refinements, vibrational patterns and frequencies, and developments of awareness.

All dimensional consciousnesses exist simultaneously, with no visible boundary distinguishing one from the other. All constantly influence, and are influenced by, the ever-changing universe. Dimensional consciousnesses are present and functioning in both our inner and outer realities. Nothing is random or arbitrary, because all development follows a "blueprint".

Discoveries through quantum physics reveal that forces are created by the exchange of discrete packets of energy, or light called quanta. And everything in the Universe is composed of sub nuclear particles called quarks, which combine to make protons and neutrons.

Quarks are in instantaneous and constant communication with each other. Very much alive, they are in a constant state of flux, ever-changing to match our thoughts. It is through quarks that we create our own realities, because they carry the specific message of our positive and negative perceptions, thoughts and emotions. In other words, through them, we develop and direct our lives and affect the lives of others. It is through them that our world responds, mirroring our every thought, words and actions. This means that we alone are responsible for all our results... yesterday, today and tomorrow. We cannot escape this, but we can learn how to manage it.

The obvious question is: why, then, are we apparently unaware of what we do? The answer is: we are aware of what we do, but simply obscure our awareness because we fear our own reality. (More on this in later installments.)

The First Five Dimensional Levels of Consciousness
For the purposes of Turn Up Your Light, we will seek to understand only the first through fifth dimensional consciousnesses, with emphasis on the 3rd, 4th and 5th. Just as radio stations operate on different frequencies that are accessible from the same radio, 3rd, 4th and 5th dimensional consciousness are different frequencies - states of consciousness - accessible on the same planet, Earth.

Understanding the dimensional nature of consciousness liberates perception from the limited conceptualization of life perceived within our known, 3rd D reality. Understanding the laws by which each dimension operates, teaches us how to exist, function, survive and thrive. An accurate and comprehensive understanding frees us from hardship of ignorance; removes the 3rd constructs of right and wrong that cause separation and pain; and yields knowledge that enables us to objectively perceive what is happening in our world today. We are endowed with an expanded perspective that allows us to place ourselves within this multi-dimensional universe, which ultimately grants freedom in all ways.

Following are brief descriptions of the first five dimensions. Future installments will expand in depth on these, in installments of their own.

1st Dimensional Universe
The 1st dimensional universe consists only of length as points, along a straight axis. If there were inhabitants, their only distinctions would be the length of the lines they form together as points.

2nd Dimensional Universe
The 2nd dimensional universe consists of length and width, still on a flat plane. If there were inhabitants, they would resemble shapes of any proportion on a flat surface, and be indistinguishable from each other.

3rd Dimensional Universe
The 3rd dimensional universe consists of length, width and volume, making it the dimension of material form. Volume adds perceivable concreteness to length and width, and provides infinite potential for concrete variety. Two forms are identical only when they are the exact same width, height and volume. Governed and restricted by the Laws of Polarity, the fundamental qualities of the 3rd dimension are survival, structure, procedure, security, procreation, acquisition, judgment, defense, power and alliance.

Needs are satisfied within a closed system of polarized extremes, each seeking to dominate and control, while condemning the other, and imposing it's own brand of lawfulness. Since extremes are polarized, neither includes the values of the other and is unable to bring lasting balance, fulfillment and vitality to the whole. (To a degree, Babylonians and Egyptians were accurate in their perception of living in a box, because the Laws of Polarity do confine consciousness.) Authority is seen as external. An example 3rd D book title would be How to Do It Right... Or Else!

4th Dimensional Universe
The 4th dimensional universe consists of length, width, volume and time. With the addition of time, the 3rd dimensional container opens and releases consciousness from the limitation and conditioned restraint of polarity. In this dimension, the fundamental qualities are liberation, awareness, expansion, infinite possibility, healing, caring and conditional love.

Now released from the confinement of polarized extremes, consciousness seeks to meet its needs within the 4th D realm of infinity. Because no one option bestows balance and freedom, consciousness is forever seeking, yet still judging and never quite at rest. Authority is nebulous and changeable. An example book title would be 101 Ways To Reduce Stress.

5th Dimensional Universe
The 5th dimensional universe consists of length, width, volume, time and unity. These establish this dimension as the first in which consciousness is able to experience and respond to all life as one intelligent, unified whole. And is the conscious state of peace, love and freedom that is found from 4th D seeking and experimenting. The fundamental qualities of this dimension are integrity, unitive consciousness, peace harmony, compassion, unconditional love, manifestation and freedom. A 5th D book title would be One. Authority is within.
