In order to intelligently consider this idea we have to start by defining what we mean by “God”, because this idea is different for everyone. The word God is being used in this context to represent a higher power of universal consciousness as the laws and principles that govern the entire cosmos. God is not an entity or Deity, but the Universal Mind out of which all material phenomena is contained as a mental construct or holographic projection. As humans we have been bestowed with the same mind (conscious self-awareness) and have the ability to “know God” by becoming one with It in Mind. We only attain “knowledge of” something by becoming one with it in spirit and the same as it in mind and experiencing it from “within it as it”. We look out at the world through the same eyes and level of self-awareness. In this context “it” isn’t referring to an actual or single being, but the consciousness as a mental state that’s formed within as a direct and intimate experience of the same nature and kind that includes “all” of reality as a singularity or whole movement.
What we refer to as the spiritual world or realm is invisible to the physical senses and can only be known directly through thought and self-awareness. All thoughts are formed in the mind as an inner speech or voice that shapes an image of the thought in the imagination. All thoughts are formed as a product of or direct reflection of our state of mind or mood. Whatever state we exist in as a general rule determines what type of ideas we form a natural connection with and act as a host for bringing into expression as our internal representations that form a kind of symbolic template as a “theme” and metaphor for producing as an equivalent outer experience of reality. While we have a tendency to believe that the body gives rise to our mind and produces our thoughts, in reality, our body merely acts as a vessel or conduit for our mind to inhabit and use as the means of expressing and creating experiences of our “self” through.
Both our mind and higher human soul are not fixed ideas generated by a finite set of conditions as located within the space-time continuum, but are energetic formations that are constantly undergoing a process of evolution and transformation as acquiring and integrating different qualities and states of consciousness. The body and the personality of the body, often referred to as our lower, animal soul and subconscious, is merely the means through which the higher soul enters into a state of “separation with itself” as an “illusion produced by the mind” in order to create an “experience” of itself. All experience is created out of a state of duality as a projection of complementary opposites that act “on” each other to transform each other. We only acquire knowledge of ourselves through how we create our experiences. All “phenomenon” is created out of vibration which is the movement as a dance between the masculine (electric) and feminine (magnetic) aspects of the “same thing” that work together to produce the illusion of an “inner and outer” as being different and often unrelated. The foundation of vibration is movement, which can only occur through separation.
The mind is
an aspect of the soul, and like the soul, exists on multiple levels
simultaneously and is formed out of the same qualities and archetypal ideas
that operate in a universal fashion as laws and principles. We have an
individual mind, a family or group mind, race mind, cultural mind, and a cosmic
or universal mind, all of which operate in harmony with each other based on a
shared theme and type or level of consciousness that they all exist within. The
mind is the “medium” through which we connect with the greater mind of humanity
and the cosmos. Our physical body and our personality born out of the body,
merely houses our mind and soul and acts as a “tuning mechanism” for “drawing
in” consciousness from the atmosphere or astral plane of light that’s all around
us. We not only tune ourselves to be a receiver and transducer through our
thoughts and feelings, but also through expanding from an awareness of
ourselves as being a body to being a part of a greater mind that encompasses
the whole of reality in which we play a part.
In order to expand into the greater mind of humanity and the cosmos, we have to transcend our limited perception of ourselves as being a single personality, and realize that we’re also playing a role in a much larger dynamic where we’re a part of other people’s lives and serve to provide them with certain “types” of learning experiences as well. We have to expand our awareness beyond our sense of self that’s oriented to our body, which can only be done by purifying ourselves of negative emotions that keep us absorbed in playing out unconscious dramas that enhance and accentuate the feeling of separation. When we internalize everything to make it about us personally, we construct the walls of our own prison and condemn ourselves to a life of solitary confinement. It’s our emotions and passions that keep us locked into an unconscious state where we don’t realize we have the power to transcend them.
Emotions
only exist as natural forces on the material plane where they keep us tied into
a form of animal instinct where we use the creative power of our mind to
produce whole realities as stories about ourselves and life that are fantasies.
As long as emotions control our mind and how we think, determining what type of
reality we create internally, we remain imprisoned by our own delusions. All
emotional and psychological pain is self-administered when we stay shrouded in
the cloak of our own ignorance as to our true, divine nature. As long as we
continue to create an experience of our “self” as being our “body”, and
therefore bound to the unconscious state of the body, we’re consumed with
selfishness and remain nearsighted.
The only way
we can truly “know” anything is by becoming “like” it. Like can only know what’s
like itself. Like only has the power to produce more of what’s like itself. So
in order to “know” God, we have to become “like” god. God only exists through
mind and it’s only through our mind that we can become one with God. Not as an
individual located within a single body and specific set of conditions and
circumstances, but by expanding outside of ourselves to become a greater part
of a conscious whole. We’re not only “having and experience” ourselves, but we’re
also playing a significant role in a greater idea that provides a certain type
of experience for others. We play a part in a greater pattern and are providing
others with the means necessary for them to grow themselves in relationship
with us. We play a part in our immediate family, community, society, and all of
humanity. By expanding our awareness of ourselves as being a part of a greater
whole, we can begin identifying with being a higher, universal being.
When we
expand our mind and perception of our self to be of a more universal nature, we
not only sense ourselves in a much more profound way, but we become conscious and
aware of our part in the grand scheme of things. We begin relating and identifying
with being a universal soul and take on the perspective and attitude of being
of service to others and acting in a way that serves the highest benefit of
everyone involved. We begin thinking of ourselves in a much more non-personal
way. We begin putting thought into how it is we’re affecting and influencing
others, aiding them in their growth somehow, or demonstrating a higher way of
being, and it changes our perception of ourselves and gives us a renewed sense
of purpose.
As long as we’re self-consumed and live out of dramas that self-administer our own pain and suffering by somehow making everything about us and taking things personal, we remain confined in the darkness of ignorance. As long as we grieve over the “bad hand” we feel we were dealt in life, or wallow in our own demise and self-pity, we remain a prisoner within the confines of our own mind. The very foundation of ignorance as an “error in self-awareness and realization” comes through selfishness and a reluctance to play our role harmoniously within a much greater idea that’s playing out. This is what it means to realize that you’re not your body living an insignificant life in a mundane situation, but are a universal being that has had many bodies, personalities, and different life experiences that served to shape you through your part in an ongoing cosmic story.
Creating the Experience of Becoming
One with the Higher Mind of God
We can only
attain knowledge through direct experience. In order to understand this idea,
we have to bring it into practice as an experience. Here are a couple of
methods you can use to begin learning how to look at your life differently and
sense yourself in a much more expanded and powerful way.
Third Person Perspective: In any situation of your daily life,
take a moment and instead of experiencing it within yourself looking out with
all of your usual self-dialogue going on, imagine watching yourself from the
distance and how you would appear to another person. Step outside of yourself
and view the situation from a distant perspective where you don’t make anything
that’s going on personal, but instead view it in as objective a manner
possible. Imagine it as if it’s a movie where you’re not the main star or
co-star, but simply playing one part of a bigger story. Dissociate from your
body and personality and see yourself as just another person in a much larger
situation, and watch how it changes your perspective on things and what your
life seems to be about. Do this repeatedly throughout your day until you start
getting good at it.
Meditation: The spiritual world of invisible
consciousness can only be known through thought that’s felt inwardly. We can
only know God by entering into the silence of our own mind. This means we have
to quiet our own “thinking” as rambling thoughts formed through a chain of
association that come in an automatic way. It’s our own internal dialogue
fueled by habitual tendencies that create both a sense of separation from the
whole, and our self as being our personality and conditioning. As we quiet our
thoughts and become completely calm and fully relax our body (tension comes
from thoughts that produce emotion in the body), our mind expands as an
awareness that moves us outside of our body and into the space around us.
We begin expanding out into the space all around and sense ourselves as part of a greater whole. We sense ourselves as being a part of a greater mind and enter into the flow of universal consciousness all around us and we form a new, expanded sense of ourselves. We sense ourselves through a whole new way of being. We lose all sense of our self and become one with creation. We become all aspects that are playing complementary roles in a much bigger picture. We become pure presence, which strangely enough fills us with a feeling of bliss and euphoria. We realize that all of our pain and suffering results from the fact that we’re confined to a body. In this moment we know we’re actually a soul within a body and not limited to the body itself. We know this not as a theory that’s difficult to even grasp in practical terms, but from the direct and immediate experience of it as being it. It’s the “experience” that brings realizations that instantly transform you and your entire way of thinking and perceiving.
Conclusion
Through the
experience of becoming one with the greater mind, attained only in meditation,
introspection, and contemplation, a whole new series of realizations occur
spontaneously. We learn truth from within the experience of it and so we never
doubt it again. As we experience ourselves from within the silence of the greater
mind that expands our awareness of our self, a whole new reality opens up that’s
fresh and invigorating. We feel renewed and our purpose in life as a divine
being becomes intimately clear and we fall in love with ourselves because we
love how it feels to be who we really are. We realize that we’re not here to be
consumed in constant personal dramas, but to play a significant and meaningful
role in serving the whole of humanity in as fluid and harmonious way as
possible. We step fully into ourselves as divine beings of a noble nature here
to set humanity free by transcending the illusions of the emotional, animal
subconscious that confines us to darkness by identifying with a specific animal
body and point in time.

What we
refer to as “parallel dimensions” are interlaced dimensions that are polar
opposites of each other. Sound and light, for example, are frequencies that are
complementary in nature, and sound as vibration serves to organize light into
living forms as a perceivable reality. Vibration has both a pattern and
self-organizing mechanism inherent in it. What we perceive with our physical
senses as a “solid reality” is actually comprised of light as “essence” that’s organized
and held in place as a dynamic mental construct. Our material reality is formed
out of a very small portion of an even larger reality, and is known as the
“visible” part of the light spectrum. The aspects of the light spectrum just
beyond our ability to perceive with our physical senses can still be known
intuitively as feelings (sensations) that form mental impressions in the
imagination that connect us with the unknown (inner) aspects of the known (outer)
world. The inner and outer constructs of the mind exist as parallel planes that
are complementary to each other, and work together to form an even greater unified
whole.
Our material senses only perceives a very small part of what coexists all around us on a much greater scale that’s mostly invisible to us. What we’re capable of perceiving through our physical senses are a minute part of what’s actually there as what we call the “ether” or “astral plane” of the universal mind (unified field of information). The term astral light of course refers to “star light” which is invisible in essence until it’s reflected off of dust particles of some kind. It exists in a primary state as “plasma”, which can be “charged” or electrified (infused with a pattern) through mental intention and organized into a living form that resembles a grey, ghost-like shape, as an astral body that acts as a host for consciousness to embody as a means of creating and self-expressing.
What’s referred
to as the astral plane in esoteric sciences is the star (sun) light that
produces the atmosphere of the Earth as a visible, holographic reality based on
what’s absorbed and utilized to produce a mental construct, and what’s
reflected and therefore left out of the equation. This process of energetic absorption
and repulsion of cosmic frequencies is formed by the relationship that’s formed
between the earth’s astral body (soul) as an electromagnetic frequency or light
spectrum and the cosmic or universal soul of latent potential, and is only a
fraction of what’s possible at the universal level. The Earth, like all
heavenly bodies, is a living entity that vibrates at a certain frequency and is
what determines what astral potencies it acts to naturally absorb (resonate
with), metabolize (integrate), and assimilate (harmonize) as the means of
producing a light-matrix that emanates or gives rise to the sensory reality we
perceive as Nature. All matter is light (photons) that’s shaped by the mind as
thought-forms. Reality only exists through our mental perception of it.
All planets
vibrate at different frequencies as “attributes and qualities” that form a
broader spectrum that’s imbued with different characteristics of a much larger
spectrum. Anything that exists outside of our mental frequency can’t be
“conceived of” from within the frequency of the Earth and the senses formed out
of the material bodies of the Earth. In a like manner, our solar system exists
as a unified system of harmonic resonance that make up multiple dimensions,
only some of which are perceivable by us, that are interwoven psychically to
form an even greater conscious entity or solar soul, that gives rise to and
governs all life within our solar system. These parallel, complementary planes,
now known in quantum physics as “String Theory”, can be navigated psychically
using what’s referred to as our “higher senses” as a natural form of intuition
or an “inner voice that forms a mental vision” (thought). When we utilize our
mind to develop our higher capacities (spiritual senses) we can engage in soul
awareness of the dimensions that underlie and transcend this one as parallel
and complementary to it.
Our “inner voice” that comes to us telepathically as our own voice being used by a higher authority, simultaneously forms an inner vision of whatever the voice is saying. Words spoken, whether silently as our thoughts or outwardly as speech, act to organize essence into the inner reality of the words. As we think we simultaneously create the reality of our thoughts in our mind. All will to create lies in the faculty of the imagination, which turns words into reality as the meaning of the words. This comes as a completely natural and automatic process that can be consciously cultivated in a purposeful manner through self-realization. Not the “self” of the body, but the true self of the higher soul. The body merely acts in an automatic fashion to form the reality its being given to form by the soul commanding and directing it.
The Light Body of the Soul is our
Interstellar Vehicle
What’s
commonly referred to as the “Merkabah” (chariot of light), represented by
interlaced triangles (minds) of the Hexad (6) is the means of inter-dimensional
travel between parallel planes. Inter-dimensional travel is performed by
willfully tuning yourself to the dimension you wish to move into as a mental frequency.
The symbol of a chariot, driven by a “master” (soul) who commands the animal
pulling it, represents the human will and the vehicle of the mind. The triangle
or pyramid represents the mind and the reality (mind) it naturally projects
into by becoming one with it in essence (vibration). The interlaced triangles
are oriented in opposite directions of each other as complementary opposites of
the same mind. This indicates that as we either raise our vibration or lower it,
we systematically tune into and become a part of the reality produced by that
frequency, and we “tune our mind” by working with the complementary aspects of
our own mind.
Inter-dimensional travel is undertaken with the faculty of the mind-soul, and is not possible with a material vehicle or technology of this dimension produced out of the material substances of the Earth. Anything produced out of the material body of the Earth carries its frequency and can only be used to travel within that same frequency or material plane. The dimension of time and space is an aspect of the material plane where travel comes by moving from one location in space to another, which can require an absorbent amount of time. Higher dimensions of pure light don’t involve the interlaced dimension of time and space and movement within the unified field of the cosmic mind is achieved naturally through thought and intention. The lower dimensions of unconsciousness take us deeper into the lower vibrations of the material world where we inflict pain and suffering on ourselves through our own thoughts and actions without any direct awareness of what we’re doing and how it is we’re doing it. As long as we remain unconscious of our true nature as beings of a higher nature who possess the ability to create using our mind, we remain locked into the darkness of our own making.
Whichever
way we choose to go as a form of inter-dimensional travel from one plane to
another is determined solely by us and how we “use our mind” as our galactic
vehicle. No one has the power to think our thoughts for us or control our
behavior. This is something only we do for and to ourselves. We’re always
choosing what to think and how to behave based on our thoughts. When we’re
conditioned to the slave mentality of the material plane and enticed into its
vulgarity, violence, and mindlessness, we act “on” ourselves to confine us to a
prison of our own making. We use our will and our ability to choose what we
focus on, think about and actively engage in to self-administer our own pain
and suffering. The idea of achieving immortality while in a physical body is a
death sentence to the soul. The modern idea of “merging human consciousness
with technology” allows the soul and will of individual sovereignty to be
controlled and utilized by the will of others, and removes all possibility of
transcending to higher planes of consciousness.
What we refer to as “higher planes of consciousness”, where we assume our true identity as divine creative beings, is one of sovereignty and individuality and comes as our innate ability to create ourselves through deliberate and calculated use of choice and will. It comes as our ability to think for ourselves, regulate our body and emotions, and make clear decisions about what we focus on, give our attention and life energy to, dwell in continuously, and will to create as a result. Whatever we connect with in mind and soul, we become like in spirit. Whatever we allow into our mind and take hold, we give life to “through” and “as” us. As we become “one with” something, we become the same in nature and we “bond” ourselves to it energetically and act to cooperatively participate in co-creating as a joint-reality.
The Science of Transcendence
We transcend
the material plane by first developing our intuition as our ability to see the
internal and underlying nature of things, and by connecting with our
higher-self that’s of a divine nature, and giving our full undivided attention
to imagining the reality that comes as inner guidance from our higher source.
We cultivate ourselves to embody virtues through active use of our will to
overcome weaknesses and transform our character accordingly. We learn how to
consistently tune into the plane of peace and harmony that’s universal in
nature, where we realize fully that we are the creator of our own reality. We
quit identifying with the personality of our conditioning, and begin
identifying instead with our higher-self and divinity. It’s our responsibility
as sovereign beings to choose and actively create ourselves and our reality to
be of the plane we wish to traverse to and exist in as a natural part of the
harmonious whole of that plane.
If we actively participate in pain and suffering that results from a selfish attitude that’s greedy and power hungry, then we condemn ourselves to ultimate forms of self-destruction where we repeat unconscious cycles of cause and effect where lifetime after lifetime we suffer the consequences of our preceding actions and lifetimes. If however, we wake up from our unconscious state and realize the true nature of things and the workings of universal laws, we can actively use the laws of the higher planes to transform ourselves while still in the lower planes. We can realize that our body and material existence is not “who we are” as a soul, but serves merely as a vehicle to create within the material world by providing us with the physical apparatus necessary to actively create as a part of the reality of this plane. By realizing the true creative ability of our soul and our mind as the vehicle of our soul, we can tune ourselves mentally and emotionally to the reality of a higher plane and transcend this dimension when we shed and depart from the body.
The Process of Soul-Ascension
The
transmigration of the soul is a gradual process of moving between parallel
planes of a larger spectrum, represented by the 7 heavenly spheres, the 7 steps
to heaven, and the 7 energy centers of the subtle body. This process of
transcendence follows the same principles of the musical scale of sound and the
color spectrum of light as a progression that builds upon itself until it peaks
as an octave that crosses over a threshold where the entire progression as an
accumulation moves into the next higher octave where it becomes the lowest note
of the next higher scale. The number 7 is represented by a chariot that’s
driven by a priest-king and pulled by 2 sphinx’s or horses that are of an
opposite and complementary nature, and symbolizes active use of the “will” to
direct the forces of the material plane by working with the complementary
aspects of the mind (subconscious and self-conscious).
It’s only by
progressing to the highest level of this plane as harmonizing the 7 interlaced
aspects of ourselves that we come within range of the next higher frequency
range and can be spontaneously “drawn into it” through resonance. We have to
use our will as the master of our body and passions to actively tune ourselves
to a higher vibration of a virtuous, selfless and universal nature while still
fully submerged within this plane in order to transcend it in mind and spirit.
Developing our soul to a higher level of being is the only way out, because
it’s what’s acting to create the reality that it exists in and uses to create
itself out of as an essential part of its own creation. The material world as
we know it (perceive it) is a mental construct of the universal mind being
played out harmoniously on several different levels and scales at the same
time. Our perception of reality is formed by how our individual mind (soul) enters
into relationship with the collective unconscious of the world mind and creates
a joint-experience of a shared-reality while in a predominately unconscious
state.

There tends
to be a constant form of confusion around the idea of what we call “reality” in
the objective sense, and the nature of subjective reality as a personal
experience. Whenever the term “illusion” or “delusion” is used, it’s referring
to the subjective reality that we all create out of or in place of the
objective, neutral and meaningless
reality we all share in common. So let’s break these interrelated ideas down by
describing and explaining them separately . . . .
Objective Reality
What we
refer to as objective reality is the
one that we all share in common and exists in a neutral state that’s void of
meaning. This is what we can think of as the “unified field of information”
that contains all attributes,
qualities, archetypes, images, life-forms, and so on, that lays the foundation
necessary for creating individual realities that are cohesive and correlated to
the overall shared reality. This is
the field of possibility that exists
before anything is filtered out, abstracted and reformulated by the individual
mind. In an outdoor setting we all see and hear the same trees, sky, bushes,
flowers, sidewalk, cars, buildings, etc. In an indoor setting we all see the
same furnishings, artwork, plants, people, and so on, as the basic elements
that make up that environment.
When we share an environment or event, we’re all submerged in and a part of the same group information that’s available to everyone involved as a means of forming our perception and experience of the situation. This can be thought of as the universal, archetypal reality of the collective unconscious or mass consciousness of humanity (and Nature) as the group mind of the earth plane. This is a global reality that’s comprised of common elements.
Subjective Reality
What we
refer to as subjective reality is the
one that’s naturally created by the individual
mind as their perception and how
they form their own individual “experience” of the objective reality through an
internal process. Our experience of the
external world is formed by our mental paradigm
as the informational structure of our mind formed out of accumulated memory.
Our mental paradigm basically consists of our habitual mood, values, beliefs,
preferences, and memories. As we form a “value” of some kind, a mental filter is created and set in
place that acts to filter all the information that’s available in any given
situation, abstracting and causing to stand
out whatever pertains to our value in some way – whether for or against it.
Likewise, as
we form a belief about something it sets up a series of mental filters that
bring forward in our outer reality only what matches and can be used in a
cohesive manner to create the reality
of our belief. All other information
that doesn’t pertain to our belief recedes and fades into the background where
it goes largely unnoticed. We don’t use it in order to create our experience.
By way of this natural process of filtering and only using certain parts of the
information available in the whole, we act to naturally perceive our beliefs as
an actual reality, making them seem real and because of this we don’t realize
their beliefs. Preferences as likes and dislikes do the same thing. Filters are
created based on preferences that produce a feeling of harmony or discord and
become attributes that aid in shaping our experiences.
Our memories
serve as a kind of metaphorical filter
that we look through that brings to
the foreground in an enhanced manner whatever can be used in a situation to
create the same type of experience as
the memory. Our memories set the basis for all of our intentions and
expectations in a situation. Whatever expectation we hold as a preconceived
notion forms a predisposition and acts to only select and utilize the
information that’s necessary to create what we expected.
Our mind acts as an information processing mechanism that’s always sorting out information and reorganizing it into unique configurations as a means of creating our experiences of any given set of circumstances. Our mental model exists as a kind of “theme” (frequency) that consistently produces the same type of reality that’s unique to us as our own creation. Every personal experience is the expression of one possibility out of an infinite number of possibilities. And every person will form a unique version of reality out of the same overall reality as their perception of it.
Perception, Meaning, and the Nature
of Experience
Our
perception in any situation is formed by the perceptual filters set into place
as the means of sorting through billions of bits of information to abstract only
a handful and reconfigure it into a new idea as an “interpretation” of the data
selected. The data obtained in any situation is abstract and void of meaning
until it’s interpreted. Out of a small amount of selected information we form
our interpretation as a means of creating our experience by the “meaning” we
give it by how we reform it internally as a congruent part of an ongoing story.
The meaning
we give things forms our internal dialogue as a kind of story we’re always in
the process of telling ourselves about things. We take the information naturally
selected as a match to our values, preferences, and beliefs and further modify
them by how we adapt them to the ongoing story we’re always in the process of
telling as a means of explaining and describing things. This ongoing story that
we’re always in the process of telling is what gives things the meaning they
have for us and ultimately becomes a kind of “life theme” that produces a
consistent version of reality. Through a simple process of self-observation you’ll
notice that there’s always one part of you talking to another part of you.
The very act of observing and perceiving something reorganizes the different aspects of it, enhancing and strengthening some, while downplaying and ignoring others, reshaping it into a new variable as a means of experiencing it. Any belief that we form becomes a filter that not only determines what we see or don’t see in a situation, but also determines how we interpret it to give it the meaning that it has. Things only mean what we say they mean. This forms another fundamental misconception. All meaning is subjective in nature and varies with every single person. We create our experience of any situation or event based on the meaning we give it and what we “tell ourselves” about it as a result.
What
something means to us is based on our values and what’s important or not
important to us, what we believe to be true and thereby use as a means of
evaluating it for accuracy, and the memories we associate with it as a means of
interpreting it. Our memories not only act to shape our values and what we come
to believe or disbelieve, but are in return shaped out of our values and
beliefs, which all act together in a cohesive manner to spawn each other while
also serving to support, validate, and justify each other in forming a coherent
version of reality that’s consistent and always makes sense to us.
Our values,
beliefs, preferences, and memories work together to produce a coherent model as
a dynamic series of mental filters that function to only perceive the
information in the whole that can be used to construct the reality of our
mental paradigm. Each person acts to develop their own mental model which is
used to produce a subjective variation of an objective neutral reality as the means
of creating. Our experience of reality is something we’re (our mind) always
creating. While others may act to give us the subliminal suggestions that
become our subconscious programming, we are always the one accepting and
integrating it into our mental paradigm and then utilizing it as a means of
creating ourselves.
For example, a person who forms a belief that they’re “not wanted” will interpret any situation or actions of another to mean that. They’ll only see in any situation what they can use as the means of creating an experience of not being wanted, and are constantly acting to validate their own beliefs. Even when someone does want them and demonstrates that through their actions and how they treat them, they’ll still interpret it in whatever way they need to as a means of creating the experience of not being wanted. This tendency and natural ability to skew reality to make it mean whatever we decide to, is what’s commonly referred to as an “illusion”.
Illusions that become Delusions
When we form
convincing realities out of our beliefs (which is a natural function of the
mind), it forms an illusion that we use as the means of deceiving and deluding
ourselves. This means it’s only real to us and nobody else sees it or
experiences it in the same way that we do. The same situation will cause one
person to feel not wanted, while another may feel they’re being coerced or
manipulated, while still another may find it friendly and inviting. Each person
will interpret the same behaviors and activities to mean different things and
create entirely different types of experiences based on their subconscious
programming. Every person that’s a part of the same situation is experiencing
it in a different way based on how it’s filtered through their mental paradigm.
We don’t ever change the objective outer
reality directly in terms of what everyone else is also seeing, but rather how
it “appears” to us. All things take on the appearance they do as a reflection
of the mind viewing them and acting to shape them as a mental projection. The
same objective reality appears different to each individual observing and producing
an experience of it. As we turn an objective reality into a personal version as
our experience, we become subject to our own creation. As we create our own
experience of reality, we sense ourselves
“as” and “through” our experience, and we shape our perception of our “self” to
be the same.
We “become” whatever we believe about ourselves as an experience, and by what we tell ourselves about things that make them mean what they do. As we assign meaning to things we form our story about our self out of them by experiencing our self “through them”. As we form realities out of our beliefs, they become delusions that we willfully maintain even when situations serve to contradict or disprove them. Most people will argue to defend their beliefs about things rather than change them. They fall in love with their own opinions while mistaking them for being true. As we tell our story about things we build our identity around them and use them as a means of explaining what happened to us that made us the way we are, and rather than changing our inner world we expect the outer world to somehow magically change instead. This is because we don’t realize that the outer world is being created by our inner world as a correspondence.
Delusion and how we Deceive Ourselves
Our core
beliefs are formed by us as children based on how we interpreted intense
emotional events before we developed our ability to reason and logically analyze
them in an objective manner. As children, we’re in a purely unconscious and
subjective state where everything is about us. The primary beliefs we formed
out of emotional states became the premise and mental filters out of which we
formed all of our other beliefs. The story we began telling ourselves as a
child in order to try and make sense of emotionally charged experiences, formed
the basis for our mental model out of which we processed all information as a
means of creating our perception of reality. It became our subconscious
programming that formed the basis for all of our experiences. Whatever we
program our subconscious with as an “imaginary emotionally intense idea” becomes
the basis for reality as an experience. Because we can experience the reality
of our beliefs we don’t realize that they’re only true due to our ability to create
them through our perception of them.
We don’t
form individual beliefs about things, but rather form a system of beliefs that
are compatible and serve to support, justify, validate, and prove each other.
This is why experiences that contradict a single belief or perspective is usually
ignored, argued against, or discredited using other beliefs, and the belief
maintained instead, and sometimes even strengthened as a result. To change a
belief requires changing the core belief spawning it, which comes only through
a shift in awareness that alters and modifies our paradigm.
All beliefs
are formed out of our mental model and can only be changed by incorporating new
information that modifies the whole structure. This only comes through direct
experience that’s contemplated as a consideration that’s allowed to take hold
in the imagination where it’s formed into a possible, and therefore “believable”
reality as an internal experience. We can only comprehend what we can form as
an internal representation, and we can only do what we can first imagine
ourselves doing.
This natural process of the individual mind in creating reality by imagining it is what’s referred to as replacing objective reality with illusions that become a form of delusion. When we don’t realize how our own mind works to create our reality, and we’re always operating out of an unconscious state, our tendency towards self-deception is enormous and often very compelling. This results from the fact that we don’t understand how our own mind works and haven’t developed the skill in knowing how to operate it consciously. Because the most powerful aspect of our mind operates without our direct awareness we don’t realize its power to create. Through a lack of true self-awareness we become subject to our own creations instead of mastering our ability to create. Anytime we live out of the story of our formative conditioning as the basis for our perceptions and means of interpreting the events of our life, we live a life of delusion and unknowingly act on ourselves to deceive ourselves.
Summary:
What we’ve
come to call “reality” is a very elusive idea that’s constantly being reshaped
to take on a new and unique appearance based on the mind interacting with it.
Each individual cultivates their own mental model which acts as a filtering
system for abstracting certain information in any situation and reorganizing it
by how they interpret it to give it meaning. The meaning we give things shapes
how we form our experience of it. Our experience comes as our feelings and
internal dialogue as what we tell ourselves about it while reforming it in our
mind as a internal representation. Meaning, like the mind creating it, is
threefold in nature. Whatever we make something mean through our story about it
means the same thing about us, other people, and the world in general. Whatever
beliefs we form about ourselves, we also use as the means of shaping others and
the events of the world to be of the same nature and idea. Every aspect of our
reality supports every other aspect, and serves to prove and justify it as
being real and therefore true.
We create a
subjective experience of reality from a completely unconscious state, and as a
result, don’t realize what we’re doing. We don’t realize our mind’s own power
to create, and so we imagine we have no control over it. We can live our whole
life feeling as though everything is happening “to us” and beyond our ability
to change it. Because we’re programmed subconsciously at an early age, we
consistently grow up in the reality being produce by our programming, and don’t
realize we’re the one actually creating it. Once we begin realizing how our own
mind works to form beliefs around whatever we’ve been taught, we can become
self-aware and recognize how it is we’re doing it. Once we begin realizing and
forming a practical understanding of how our mind works to create our
experiences of reality, we can begin operating it in an intentional and
deliberate manner by learning how to program ourselves to produce the type of
experiences we want.
There always seems to be a strange kind of reality around ideas that exist as a form of paradox that breeds constant illusions as misunderstandings produced through incorrect interpretations. What’s commonly referred to as “shedding our ego”, or experiences that come as the “death” of the ego, can seem very misleading and often set us off on the wrong path, because they start off with an incorrect idea, and so all that comes from it is an expression of that same error. As higher spiritual beings with the power to self-create, we shape ourselves by whatever it is we “identify” with. Our identity, unlike our personality, is what gives us the potential for becoming “unique individuals” through conscious use of our higher capacities of self-realization, choice, and will.
The term ego and identity are synonymous and can be used interchangeably to describe the same principle. The only question becomes what it is that we use as the means for creating ourselves. When we shape our sense of self based on possessions, social standing, roles, relationships, physical appearance, job, and so on, we create ourselves out of a temporary, illusion oriented idea as what we call the “false ego” or false identity. When we create a false image of ourselves, we condemn ourselves to a mortal life that “dies” with the body and the social situation it was dependent on. If we use our material circumstances and the roles we play in order to know who we are, then we condemn our eternal soul to the confinement and limitations of the body and our soul becomes its servant.
Death of the False Ego
The “experience”
of what we call the “death of the false ego” however, is a “life shattering”
experience that’s very painful to endure and difficult to utilize for its
liberating effects. When we not only lose our life-situation and social
standing that we built our identity out of, but also our very means of
security, it can cast us into a very dark place of unimaginable grief and
hopelessness, often referred to as the “dark night of the soul”. As we fall
into what seems like a bottomless pit of our own creation, a true
transformation takes place, and it either does us in and we succumb to a new
illusion of defeat that we build about ourselves in place of the old one, or we
learn how to access a higher aspect of our self that we then use as the means
for transforming ourselves. We either die in the flames of our own dissolution,
never to rise again, or we rise from the ashes an entirely new being.
My Own Experience of Humility and Transformation
Even though
I was born into a very impoverished situation as one of five children raised by
a single mom on welfare, not having things was normal to me and I never used
material things as the means of creating an image of myself. Instead I used my
talents, intellect, special abilities, and willpower to succeed. Losing things
never really affected me much because I didn’t have things to begin with. I was
used to going without and only having what I barely needed in order to survive.
I did however build an image of myself as being poor and impoverished and
therefore inferior in some way, and knew I had to work extra hard in order to
build a better life for myself than I was raised with.
As I went through life, I had constant life situations that required me to put everything I had at risk in order to “be there” for those I loved and who needed me. I incurred and dealt with many challenging situations where I lost everything I owned that was of any value, and I had to file bankruptcy on astronomical medical bills at a very young age. This only had a minimal effect on me at the time because I didn’t place much value on material things and knew I could make it without them. I had developed confidence in myself to be able to rebuild whatever was lost. When I was making decisions as to what I was going to do, I was very clear on what mattered and what didn’t, and so decisions came relatively easy for me.
As I went
through life I was very successful in my career, became an Entrepreneur in my
twenties, and built very prosperous businesses on several occasions. In my
forties I helped build a business that became worth several million dollars,
and was traveling the world as a consultant, workshop leader, and public
speaker. I provided consulting services and professional training to other
Entrepreneurs while deciding to return to college to earn my doctorate. As a
result of my education, I then began providing professional training for
applied psychology and Healing Arts. I was given an honorary award as a “world
leader in integrative psychology and Mind-Body Medicine”, and published many scientific
papers in several professional journals. I was also very far into my spiritual
development, and when faced with the idea of whether or not I had an inflated
ego, I honestly felt I didn’t because I had a fairly detached perspective on
things and was able to see the true nature of things clearly from a highly
objective perspective. I had no need to be in the limelight and often put out
work without the need for any form of recognition.
As I built
what became a very lucrative business (medical center), I was involved in a
relationship that caused me to start feeling disillusioned with my life and the
ethical nature of the business world. I was living an extremely stressful and
face-paced life that resulted in adrenal exhaustion and anxiety attacks that
made me feel like I was having heart problems. My partner was also extremely
stressed out and his behavior started reflecting it with increased severity
that became very destructive and demeaning. He threw what I referred to as “temper
tantrums” that would frequently turn over several staff members in one episode.
After a while I even had trouble hiring doctors because no one would work with him.
I felt as though I was constantly caught up in a form of “damage control” and
trying to fix whatever he destroyed. Once I fulfilled what I considered my professional
obligation to the situation, I decided to leave. By leaving the relationship, I
also left the business, and lost a large part of my livelihood. But I had
established a fairly lucrative consulting practice so it didn’t seem to matter.
As I was adjusting to my new situation while still having a couple of years of school left, I started having a kind of foreboding feeling as though something heavy and dark was coming. I had a very strong desire to move to Kauai where I owned a vacation home, but felt tied down with far too many material possessions. I then started forming a desire to de-materialize by sorting out what was important and meaningful and what wasn’t. At the same time I was becoming spiritually aware of my “true goal” in life, which was to transcend this plane altogether at death. I knew that in order to do this I had to detach mentally and emotionally from the material world itself while also resolving all the karma I still had with others that bonded me to them energetically. It seemed as though every time I formed a realization around something that led to making a “sincere decision”, that decision began facilitating the events of my life as the means of fulfilling it. I didn’t have to make all the little decisions or figure out how to do it, all I had to do was form the decision as a spiritual commitment, and the process was set in motion that seemed to be happening automatically while beyond my ability to control it.
Shortly
after this, the financial crisis of 2008 hit and within a relatively short
period of time I lost nearly all of my investments, savings, and retirement. My
most loyal consulting clients were also devastated financially, and my thriving
practice began dwindling. I lost my home in the mountains and had to move back
to the city and try to find work after being an Entrepreneur for over 25 years.
I worked providing consulting services on a contract basis, and was engaged in
a seven month project that I was never paid for because the company ended up
filing bankruptcy. My consulting business continued to dissolve and as I tried
to get a job nothing came through. No matter what I tried, nothing worked, and
I began consistently selling off and losing most of my belongings. My vehicle
was leased through my company, and it was eventually repossessed. As I was
experiencing complete financial loss, I had 4 months of school left and I
committed to making sure I completed what at that time was my PhD.
As I was writing the hypothesis for my thesis, I wanted to write about “Personal Transformation that came by Choice and not as a Crisis”. I wanted to write about it from within the “experience” of it rather than a clinical study. The very foundation of Spiritual Sciences is based on the fact that we only truly learn, and thereby “know” something through “experience”. It’s only through experience that knowledge is integrated into our paradigm, upgrading and evolving it as a result. But the peer review group wouldn’t allow me to do it that way and insisted that it be written as a form of “research” instead. It was so important to me to remain true to the “science” of acquiring the knowledge through direct experience that I decided to forfeit the PhD. program and simply complete my doctorate instead. But the “commitment and importance” of writing about it from “within the actual experience of it” in order to capture the human drama of it remained with me and continued to shape the events of my life accordingly as if it was beyond my control to change it.
As I concentrated
in order to finish up the last few classes, I started getting a vision as a
pervading thought of living in my van (I had bought for my mother). I’m very
aware of the creative power of thought as visualizations, yet this was coming
as an idea that I wasn’t generating consciously, but was being “given” to my
subconscious as a form of prophecy. As I finished school and accomplished my
doctorate and was “patting myself on the back”, relieved in my achievement,
this solemn voice inside calmly said . . . “now that you have the theory down,
let’s practice” . . . and I knew from that moment on that I was in for the ride
of my life, and I tried to mentally prepare myself for what I knew was coming.
I continued to steadily lose my possessions, not being able to get work, and struggling in the most basic sense. Every time I tried to figure things out by attempting to grab onto and bring back to life the only security I had known by recreating my old situation in a new way, simply didn’t work. The people who knew me as my professional persona quit talking to me because I was no longer “successful”, and all opportunities seemed to fade away. My friends quit calling and inviting me places, and I slowly became alone and isolated. My family took an attitude of almost enjoying seeing me “fall from grace” because they were jealous of my achievements and saw me as “thinking I was somehow better than them”. They began making constant comments about how I finally got to see what it was like for the rest of them, not seeming to acknowledge that I had come from the same place they did. I was told that I was going to have to learn how to “stoop” and maybe get a job at Starbucks or Walmart. I didn’t have anyone to stay with and literally ended up all alone sleeping in my van along a dark deserted street.
The Realization that Brought an
Awakening
I can’t even
describe the pain I felt in realizing that everything I had built my life
around was an illusion. When I saw the true nature of people I thought I knew,
I felt overwhelmed with disgust at how selfish, small, and pathetic they
seemed. They somehow made me out to be a lazy low-life that was expecting “hand-outs”.
I was shocked and dismayed in light of all the things I had been able to
accomplish in my life up to that point, and that’s when I finally realized the
true meaning of what the “false ego” really is. The “image” I had built of
myself based on worldly accomplishments that won me recognition and the
admiration of others, and my ability to build wealth out of nothing and work my
way into high positions with total confidence, was how I was “shaping” my
perception of myself as the kind of person I was. This false idea I had built about
myself only attracted those who were of the same false image. My life had been
built around a total illusion of my own making that was so convincing that I
even deceived myself, because in the experience of my own demise, I realized I
didn’t even know for sure who I really was. My belief in the image I had built
of myself became my own undoing.
As I went through a long period of total despair, I felt like I was a fool and had even been abandoned by God. This was extremely amplified by the fact that I was also in the process of going blind. I had been diagnosed with macular degeneration at the age of 40, and it was now reaching a point of crisis where functioning in the most normal sense was becoming increasingly difficult. This greatly accelerated my feelings of despair and being all alone in the world and not knowing why this was happening to me. What had I ever done to “deserve” this? My life didn’t seem to have any purpose, and as I lost my most basic resources, I felt as though I didn’t even matter anymore. After all the work I had been through to build a good life I was going to end up poor, blind, and all alone in life. Kicked to the curb and left to suffer as I slowly diminished. Every night as I laid down to sleep I prayed for death. All I wanted was to end my suffering and fade silently into the abyss. Without purpose my life had no meaning.
Realizing Who I Am
Throughout
my life I’ve always been a compulsive writer and have always processed my life
experiences and how I was feeling by writing about them. One of my most prevalent
tendencies in life has always been to study subjects in-depth, forming a clear
understanding of them, and then write about them. I’ve been creating books and
journals for as long as I can remember. As an artist early in life, it wasn’t a
love for painting or writing that compelled me to create, but the desire to
capture a feeling as a realization and express it in a way that gave the viewer
or reader the same feeling and realization. Once the overwhelming grief and
intense feelings of loss and disillusionment began slowly subsiding, it
suddenly dawned on me that what was happening in its wake was that I was
starting to reconnect with my true self.
There was a
part of me that remained alive all these years and I continued to do as what I
considered my true life’s work. I came into the world with talents, natural
desires, and tendencies that formed the basis for all my material
accomplishments. Through everything that I had lost (which was a great deal) I
had managed to keep what was not only important to me, but that was truly “mine”;
my paintings, art supplies, and a good part of my writings and books. These
were the same things I engaged in naturally as a child and young adult, and
were the core of my being. These parts of me never went away and couldn’t be
lost or taken away from me by an outside force. As I was all alone in life, I
was still studying, writing, and painting.
As I began reorganizing my life from a new perspective and exhausted the feelings of grief and moral despair, I realized that I had got my wish. I realized from a strangely clear perspective that I had undergone the experience of transformation as a decision I had made for myself, that was then carried out and conducted by my higher-self. What I realized as a flaw in my hypothesis is that true transformation is experienced “as” a crisis. It comes as a crisis in identity where all of the illusions of my life either fell away, were taken away, or lost somehow through what appeared to be a course of natural events, and only what was true remained present.
As I lost
everything that I used to create my life and identity, I realized that not only
did my true self remain completely intact, but became amplified due to the fact
that I had freed up a great deal of time and energy I was spending on other
things. Due to the fact that I couldn’t seem to rebuild what was lost, I became
clear on what was real and an essential part of me that couldn’t be taken away or
lost, because it wasn’t based on material factors. It was my soul’s essence
which equipped me with everything I needed to fulfill my soul’s purpose. As I
abruptly disconnected from my own self-created delusions about myself and my
purpose in the world, I began naturally reconnecting with my soul. In
reconnecting with my soul’s essence, I began drawing all my power from an
internal source.
I realized
that most of what I thought I needed and was important, I didn’t need at all
and it only had the importance I gave it. That my life only “meant” what I said
it meant. I lost all desire for material wealth and status, and felt a newfound
kind of freedom. I severed all relationships that were based on illusions while
simultaneously maintaining my love for the people because I realized with
absolute clarity that they were still caught up in the illusion of their own
making and honestly didn’t know any better. I realized I wasn’t abandoned by
God, but by my own illusions of God. That the process that had been
unconsciously facilitated by my Higher-Self based on my decision to dedicate my
life to the truth and transcend this plane of illusion, was a loving act
designed to bring me home and reconnect me to the absolute truth of who I am as
a spiritual and universal being.
As I detached from the need to somehow control and determine the events and outcomes of my life, I felt completely unaffected by it all. I realized that other people’s opinion of me was shaped as a reflection of their own character as making me into the same type of person they are, and I detached from their projections as a result. I quit looking outward for approval and acceptance, or in an attempt to somehow acquire power from an outside source, and began always residing inward and drawing my strength from an internal source that never dwindled or subsided, but grew in strength as I began depending on it.
I began identifying almost exclusively with my spiritual self instead of my physical self, and all selfish motives and material desires left me. I began cultivating the ability to see the truth in everyone and everything by remaining tuned to the inner nature of things and what was motivating all their perceptions and actions, instead of basing it on the outer appearance of things. I became detached from the emotions being projected at me by others, and remained calm and unaffected by them, and as a result, stayed present with the truth without needing to somehow change it. I realized that my own emotions were the result of what I focused on and how I thought about things, and I began thinking in more universal and meaningful ways.
As I became
more and more identified with my Higher-Self and quit building a life of
illusion, I began sensing myself as “being in this world but not of it”. I quit
looking to “get something” from my interactions with others, and looked instead
to give to others in whatever way served their higher good and the good of
everyone involved. I began empathizing with their soul’s journey as a dynamic
means of learning and growing instead of seeing them only for their unconscious
shortcomings and outward faults born out of confusion. I realized that now, and
only now am I truly qualified to teach others the knowledge of higher wisdom by
having apprehended it through experience . . . which is what my soul’s purpose
is in this life.
Only those
who are humble can conceive of higher truth without distorting it through the
interpretations of their ego. As long as we maintain and live out of a false
image and idea about ourselves and the world, we only resonate and act to
receive more knowledge of the same kind. When we’re motivated by selfish needs
and in love with our own opinions that we mistake for truth, we distort and
corrupt true knowledge as a means of serving our own agendas or in order to
somehow justify whatever it is we need to in order to maintain it as being
true. When we form beliefs out of illusions, we bond ourselves to the world of
illusions. When we form our identity around material things and mistake
ourselves for being the personality of our body, we become mortal beings who die
with our body. When we reside in a state of true detachment from false ideas
and selfish motives, we’re able to receive knowledge from higher planes and
witness it “as it is” without distorting it by forming personal
interpretations. Only what we acquire by “being it” and “living it” as a direct
experience becomes the basis for true wisdom. We only truly know what we become
and do.
The most basic mistake we make in life comes from an ingrained belief in duality as a fundamental form of separation. We imagine that the world exists as fragmented, independent parts that coexist while having no direct relation or influence on each other. This is largely due to the fact that the unified reality as a singularity exists in a state of polarity as a dynamic interaction of complementary opposites. Duality as a primary illusion of separation is necessary as the means of creating “experiences” of our “self” in relationship to others and the entire natural world of which we are a fundamental part. What we call “reality” is only important in the sense that it sets the stage necessary for the soul to create experiences of itself “as” a specific type of person. Experiences are then interpreted to form memories that become the means of self-realization and consciously evolving itself to higher and more complex levels of consciousness.
The Monad and the Law of One
The Monad is
what we can think of as the primary law out of which all other laws emerge systematically
as a form of growth process. It’s symbolized in Sacred Geometry as a dot or circle
in the center of a larger sphere (circle), and is the same symbol used to
represent the sun. The central dot represents the consciousness that expands outward
as a form of respiration to produce an outer atmosphere of the same nature and
likeness. In terms of physics, we can view this model as representing the dual
nature of light, which is the essence of matter, as being both a particle and a
wave simultaneously. It operates in a similar manner to what we now call the “torus”
as the electromagnetic field of the mind that envelops and permeates all
physical organisms. This idea represents the nature of what we can think of as
the spirit and soul, and the physical body it creates as the means of becoming
located within the space-time continuum for a short period of time, where it
first acts to create the outer reality that it then locates itself in by
inhabiting and utilizing a material body.
The wave-sphere contains what we can think of as the universal-infinite mind as all possibilities for creation in their potential state. The wave of all possibilities is then collapsed around one possibility through what we can think of as a process of natural selection as resonance (intention for creating). The wave is then formed into a particle (physical body) that expresses briefly as one possibility within a unique set of circumstances. As the soul-mind conforms itself to the body, and the conditions and unique circumstances of the body, fashioning itself as a personality, it forms a relationship as a constant interaction with the light around it to organize it into a corresponding outer configuration of the same nature and level of consciousness. The core essence of the soul within a body is constantly expanding outward, and through a kind of filtering process reorganizes the light by activating what’s of the same qualities as it is, and neutralizing what ever’s not. It then absorbs only the active components through its magnetic aspect and draws them back into the center of its being where they’re integrated as the means of growing and evolving its mental paradigm.
The Dyad and the Law of Relationship
The Monad creates
a state of duality by regenerating and multiplying itself as a mental projection
of itself that’s perceived as another in order to be able to “experience
itself” in relationship with itself. As it divides and separates from itself
(same principle as mitosis) it produces an illusion of itself “as” another, and
simultaneously as a coherent outer environment. This process of self-regeneration
and division forms the Dyad (a double Monad), where the two centers are
directly connected and exist as the outer periphery of each other, forming an
“interference pattern”.
An interference pattern is where two wave-forms (spheres) of the same nature (frequency) resonate and merge energetically with each other, amplifying some aspects while canceling out others, to produce a new pattern as a variation of the original pattern they shared in common. A pattern can be thought of as a combination of qualities in various measure and degrees as a formula of consciousness that vibrates at a certain frequency producing correlated physical characteristics. Characteristics have natural behaviors and functions inherent in them that determine how they express to produce correlating realities.
Resonance, Sympathetic Induction, and
Coherence
Whatever
formula of various qualities we exist as (usually represented in our birth
chart) determines the rate we vibrate at. As we embody and bring certain
qualities into expression, we intimately connect and form resonance with those
same qualities in everything else. As we radiate and transmit our inner
qualities we resonate with everything around us that possesses the same
qualities. Resonance is where we energetically “enter into and become one with”
the same vibratory frequencies around us (qualities of consciousness). Through
continued interaction as a relationship both vibrations are altered and
modified slightly from their original state (pattern), and over time, become
synchronized by vibrating in harmony with each other forming a new pattern as a
variation of the original one that acted to connect them. As we form a
relationship with our self (same consciousness) in another, we act “on our
self” to evolve our self into new variations as a modified formula of active
(expressing) qualities.
Polarity and the Nature of
Complementary Opposites
Here’s
another idea that tends to produce a fundamental misunderstanding of a basic
idea. We often don’t understand the true meaning of “qualities” as states of
consciousness and our “self” (soul) as a formula of qualities that act to
produce our physical characteristics. All qualities exist in a dual state as a range
of vibration that forms a kind of sliding scale between opposite aspects of
itself that are necessary in order to create the quality as an experience of
our self that develops our character accordingly. Whatever characteristics we
develop in ourselves serve to determine our natural behaviors and what type of
reality we produce as a basic form of self-expression.
The Dyad, which is also referred to as the Vesica Piscis and “womb of the universe” out of which all reality is formed (Triad) and projected (Tetrad), exists as the Monad in a polar state (opposite spin) of both feminine (inner) and masculine (outer) aspects of the same vibratory frequency as a dynamic living pattern. All qualities are also dual in nature and exist as a range of vibration between opposite poles that form a singular movement that gives rise to a specific type of reality as both an inner experience (of self) which then forms the basis for an outer experience of the same kind. We create our character based on the decisions we make in the present that form all our actions.
We can only
“know ourselves” to be a certain way by contrasting our self with another whose
of an opposite nature. We can only create an experience of ourselves as being
“good” by how we exist in relationship with whatever we deem to be “bad”, by
how we either relate and become like, or contrast and become the opposite. We
can only experience ourselves as kind by how we relate and contrast ourselves
to what we consider to be unkind or selfish. It’s only through our perception
of our opposite aspect that we define ourselves as being a specific way and
develop ourselves as possessing desired characteristics. Every time we
encounter evil, it lays the foundation for active use of choice and will, where
we decide how we’re going to be and what we’re going to do in relationship with
it. Good and evil exists as complementary opposites of the same quality as an
idea, because one serves to stimulate and call into existence the other one.
One only exists “as” good or bad in relationship to its opposite quality.
So to ask
the question “why do bad things happen to good people”, bypassing of course
what we’re actually referring to as bad and good, we can realize that they
become good through the constant decisions their making while in challenging
situations being referred to as bad. It’s through the impact and pressure caused
by unfortunate or traumatic events or situations that lays the foundation for
making decisions as to who and what they’re going to become in response to it.
However they respond determines who they become. It’s only when in the presence
of bad that we can accurately shape ourselves to be good. One serves as a
mirror necessary for realizing the other one.
All of what we call “vices” (weaknesses and poor character traits) is transformed by choosing to employ their complementary virtue in their place. A “whole pattern” contains every aspect as a reality with multiple roles needed to produce it as an experience. Qualities form ideas that are dynamic holographic patterns where every part is an aspect of the whole, and their actions serve to create and sustain the whole. We don’t become bad people because bad things happen to us, we become one way or another based on how we enter into relationship with what happens to us and the decisions we make while in the moment that serve to define as one way or another. We can only know ourselves as being courageous when in the midst of feeling afraid. The greater the fear, the more exalted our sense of courage in overcoming it.
Strong and Weak Forces
Our soul’s energy
follows the same principles as the forces that govern and orchestrate the
material world of reality (which it’s actually producing). The mind-soul of the
individual exists as either a weaker force or a stronger one in relation to
other individuals. We all possess both active and passive aspects, and while
the ideal is to operate them consciously through awareness and intention, most
develop themselves to be one way or the other, often lacking balance. When two
people come together in a relationship of some kind, one clearly becomes the
dominating influence over the other, and as a result acts to take control of
the will of the other.
While it’s
often thought that males are dominant over females, where they assert and lead,
and their female companion supports and follows, the fact is we all have both
feminine and masculine aspects inherent within us that we utilize in different
ways. A woman can be just as dominating in a relationship as a man can be.
Gender is not the determining factor in whether or not someone displays either
dominant feminine or masculine qualities. Many men have dominant feminine
energy, and many women have dominant masculine energy. The term dominant simply
indicates which one they’re “in” most of the time or as a general rule, which
also determines who they’re attracted to as an intimate and passionate
relationship. Attraction only occurs between polar – complementary opposites.
There’s never an exception to this, regardless of gender. Even in homosexual
relationships one plays the feminine role as the energy they utilize most
often, and the other plays the masculine role.
In what we consider healthy relationships that are harmonious and serve to grow and evolve both people, there’s a dynamic exchange of passive and active roles based on the activities being engaged in. Under certain circumstances, one is better suited to take the leading, dominant role, and the other allows and complies with them. Then, based on different circumstances and activities, the other one may be more qualified to take the dominant role, while the other participates and benefits from it. We usually employ our masculine energy when going out into the world in professional activities that are competitive, and then relax into our feminine energy when we come home to our family and private life. Masculine energy tends to be assertive, self-oriented, analytical, and competitive, while feminine energy tends to be compassionate, group-oriented, intuitive, and nurturing. Most life skills that are effective on both the personal and professional level require a harmonious unification of both energies simultaneously.
Reality is a Mental Construct of the
Soul
Another idea
that’s difficult to grasp in the practical sense is the fact that all of reality
as we’re capable of knowing it exists as both objective (non-personal) and
subjective (personal) simultaneously. This is usually due to the fact that we
mistake the soul for being the body, personality, and identity formed as a
material being. All reality is formed through the dynamic series of
relationships formed between three aspects and three levels (dimensions) simultaneously
as a cohesive and singular act. What we refer to as the soul exists as a form
of “medium” between the upper plane of pure consciousness in its potential and
unformed state, and is what acts to draw spiritual qualities known as
archetypes into itself as a sphere of specialized consciousness, and shape it
into a material form. This material form shaped in the mind is then projected
outward and reflected downward into the lower plane of material forms as one
possibility for the manifestation of a universal idea.
The soul
exists in a polarized state (symbolized as mercury) that vibrates at a
frequency that can access the lower regions of the higher plane in its most
exalted state, and the highest region of the lower plane to birth the material
reality inherent in the upper plane. The individual soul is “constructed” out
of the essence that it creates through the frequency it consistently produces as
a personal creation that it then uses as the means of evolving itself. It works
through the same principle as DNA does by taking two strands of complementary
information and combining them to form a new one that exhibits the traits of
both parents in different degrees. The soul is represented as feminine because
it draws in the seed of the higher spiritual plane as an archetypal idea, and
through a process of gestation adapts it to its current energetic structure that
imbues it with specific physical characteristics. It then adapts and modifies
it into a singular possibility that can be naturally birthed through the
current conditions and circumstances of its physical body and its specific
location within time.
The vibration as pure, unadulterated ideas of the spiritual plane is too far apart to form resonance with the lower plane, and therefore requires a medium frequency that acts as a transducer in order to manifest as a material form on the lower plane. Spirit doesn’t have the ability to act and create directly on the lower plane of a material existence, and can only act in the world through the medium of the soul in order to affect it. There’s no such thing as divine intervention that acts independent of you and in spite of you. God, so to speak, only acts in your life “through you” as your higher soul.
The
spiritual plane is comprised of archetypes that provide a kind of prototype or
thematic template for creating an infinite number of variations as personal
creations of the individual soul. It exists in an unformed state that can only
be accessed and utilized by your higher soul. This is where we get the saying
“God only helps those who help themselves”, because it’s your soul as your
energetic essence accumulated and built up over time that vibrates at a high
enough frequency to access and absorb the higher powers of the spirit. Our
higher soul in turn acts to impregnate the imagination, which is likewise the
medium of the mind that exists between the higher plane of the human soul and
the lower plane of the animal soul, and serves to deliver a message as a
feeling, vision, and inner voice that directs the subconscious of the body to
take action on the idea, and as a result, produces it as a reality.
An ideal
drawn down in its potential state as an intention and desire for creating as a
reality undergoes a dynamic series of adaptations that modify it into a form
that’s unique to the individual applying it as a means of creating. An
archetype is adapted to the mental model of the human soul, which is then projected
in its modified form into the mind and imagination of the personality, where it’s
adapted and modified further, and then it’s adapted in the imagination based on
how it’s going to be applied in order to produce it as a reality. Once its
manifest as a reality, the soul reabsorbs it as an experience that’s then
“drawn back up into the higher soul” as the basis for forming a memory of
itself as the expression of a universal archetype.
The creative process comes by way of drawing in a seeded idea that’s then developed in the imagination by forming new combinations (Dyad) to produce a unique variation that’s then used as a template for projecting into the lower sphere to create as an experience of reality. The soul produces its own experiences that become the memory that it uses to shape it itself as an individual. It acts on itself to evolve itself through active use of choice, imagination, and will. The soul produces endless variations of itself that serve to reformulate its essence. The universal law (which means it operates on all planes simultaneously) of vibration works as a polarized movement between an inner and outer pole as the respiration of the mind. This flow of intelligent energy works by the same principle as an electromagnetic field that simultaneously expands and contracts organizing light-essence through a filtering system to be of the same idea. Our inner forms the vibration of the outer as a complementary pattern by influencing it to express in a corresponding manner as a variable, then absorbs it as an experience that serves to influence the inner into a modified version of the original.
The World Soul and the Individual
Human Soul
What we have come to recognize as both an
objective and subjective version of reality comes by way of a planetary soul
that provides the environment for the individual soul to create experiences of
itself. It’s the union of souls as fields that exist within even greater fields
that vibrate in harmony with each other as the means of co-creating a joint
experience of a shared reality. It operates by the same principle as light
existing simultaneously as a particle and a wave, and the holographic principle
where the part contains the information inherent in the whole, and the whole
consists of its parts. It’s where the “parent pattern” (Dyad) produces fractal
patterns as a process of self-replicating on different scales and levels to
produce the same idea in unique variables, both of which are states of duality
that function harmoniously to produce a singularity. The two complementary
aspects work in harmony to produce a functional third.
A basic
mistake is made in perception when we fail to realize that the Earth, like all
stars and planetary bodies, is actually a living, sentient being as a soul that
vibrates at a specific frequency and forms Nature as an objective reality that
all other souls experience as being separate from them, while also forming the basis
for creating through a consensus. All vibration has a holographic
(3-dimensional) pattern has a self-assimilating mechanism inherent in it that
organizes and condenses light into a certain type of reality as a global
environment. This is what we experience as the collective unconscious as the
unified field of the material world (subconscious) that unites all planetary
beings within the same basic and neutral version of reality.
As Humans we’re born into the manifestation of the Earth’s soul as the objective reality of Nature that provides the stage for producing personal manifestations as subjective versions of the same reality. While we can draw in an archetypal idea that we resonate with, we use the same overall reality to produce a unique variation by how it’s adapted to our mental paradigm and modified accordingly. As we create unique variations of the same overall ideas, we are subject to our own creations and they serve to shape us through the integration of the memories we form out of them. Our reality is our offspring because it always comes as the union of multiple planes to produce a coherent whole. This principle is illustrated through the Myth of the god named Kronos as devouring his own children, which were symbolic of the Four Elements that make up reality. We first form a union that allows for a new experience, then we absorb and assimilate our own creation as our perception and interpretation, that we synthesize to modify the whole.
The Universal and the Individual
The Law of
One (Monad) illustrates in very dynamic terms that we’re (our soul) always
drawing on the ideas of the universal to produce the individual to be of a
similar, yet modified nature. The inner core acts to organize and reconfigure
the outer reality to be of the same nature. The outer manifestation is then absorbed
as an experience and used to reshape the inner as a unique variation that acts
to evolve the energetic structure of the individual soul, which then forms the
perceptual model that alters the outer world to take on a slightly different
form, and again absorbed to upgrade the mental paradigm birthing it.
We’re always
either taking in ideas of the physical plane produced and being projected by
others throughout history (as the collective unconscious), or we draw from the
higher planes of novel, archetypal ideas in an unformed state (principles), and
act to create truly new and unique ideas. There’s a constant movement that’s
represented by a 90 degree angle as an “L” shape, where we either draw down
ideas in archetypal form as principles from the spiritual plane (vertical line)
and reform and project them to create in the material plane (horizontal line),
then reverse the process and absorb them into the soul on a higher plane as
memory or itself.
This 90
degree angle also represents that whatever plane we draw on in order to create
(horizontal or vertical) we use to shape ourselves (soul) to be like in nature,
bonding ourselves energetically to that plane. When we shape ourselves
according to the ideas and opinions of others, we fail to realize our true
ability as a higher soul to draw on divine ideas by embodying virtuous
qualities, and as a result degrade ourselves to our lowest form as an
intelligent animal. Whatever we identify with as an experience of ourselves we
shape ourselves to be of the same nature. We’re always either identifying with
our Higher Self as a creative, individual soul, or as a part of a group mind
shaped by the opinions of others through our formative conditioning. Either
way, the choice is always ours.
One of the
most fundamental spiritual errors we make in life is in believing that we are
the personality of our body and conditioning. As a human soul born into an animal
body, we acquire the physical characteristics and ancestral memory that’s inherent
in our genes. Our genetic makeup bestows us with the basic tendencies that are
then developed by our family dynamics (those who share the same tendencies) as
our formative conditioning that serves to birth our initial identity (ego).
Through our formative conditioning we form a story about our self that becomes
our life theme. As we grow into adults we take over the process of continuing
to condition ourselves by living out of the same story. We usually do this
without ever realizing that the only reason it holds true for us is because we continue
to live our life as though it’s true. Many people (actually most), firmly
believe that they “are” their personality as they were shaped by others and
society, and have no real ability to change themselves. They live their entire
life without ever realizing that they’re actually the “story-teller” and one
that’s producing the reality of their story, rather than a mere consequence of the
story itself.
As we come into this life and our soul acquires the qualities of our genetic makeup, we’re initially shaped by others and outside forces to strengthen and develop certain qualities while others remain latent and underutilized. We exist as children in a predominately unconscious state (of hypnosis) where we readily take in and internalize whatever consciousness is actively being expressed and demonstrated all around us. Whatever dynamics we’re apart of as a family structure, we become programmed with, and they serve to form the foundation for the story we begin telling ourselves as a means of making sense of things as we begin developing our conscious mind (between 8 and 21 years).
Our personality is formed from an unconscious state as a form of hypnotic programming that lays the foundation as a life theme for our identity to spontaneously emerge through our conscious development. As we begin thinking for ourselves and forming our own ideas about things (somewhere around puberty) we take over our own unconscious programming as our internal dialogue and the perceptual filters that we use for producing all of our experiences. We take over where our family left off, and our parent’s voice becomes our own internal voice and the means through which we interpret things to give them meaning through the story we begin telling ourselves about them. Our conditioning forms the basis for all of our initial internal dialogue as our means of thinking and processing information to form a consistent experience of our self, others, and the world around us. Out of this initial story-line as a life theme we consciously begin developing our identity by the roles we naturally take on and play through the relationship we form with the outer world and our life circumstances.
All of our
primary memories are formed from significant emotional events in our life that
had a strong impact of some kind that altered us in some way. The emotional
impact came at a time when we couldn’t rationalize it in an objective manner,
and so we processed the experience internally by making it all about us. As a
child we perceive ourselves as being one with our family unit and haven’t yet
developed the mental capacity to see ourselves as sovereign individuals.
Whatever we hear being said about us by others around us we accept as being
true without questioning it, and form beliefs about our self as a result. Through
a basic form of hypnotic suggestion we’re given (subliminally programmed with)
the same values, attitudes, perspectives, beliefs, emotional states, and
behavioral dynamics as our family unit. We always shape ourselves to be just
like our family, or what we imagine to be the opposite (relate or contrast),
but either way, we still form ourselves by way of our family.
As we grow
older we fall into a very specific and pronounced role within that dynamic and
we begin developing ourselves based on what we’ve been taught to believe about
ourselves and the way things are. Whatever other people say about us when we’re
a child acts as a creative directive (hypnotic suggestion) for our subconscious
to produce as a reality. The beliefs we form about ourselves as a child become
our “core beliefs” out of which we form all of our other beliefs as a
correlation, and ultimately becomes a form of “self-fulfilling prophecy”. What
we call our soul’s “destiny” is usually the result of our conditioning as our “false
identity”.
By the time our conscious and self-aware mind develops fully (around 21 to 28 years old), where we develop the powers of reasoning, discernment, and the ability to logically analyze things, and we separate emotionally from our parents and begin seeing our self as an individual, we’re already programmed and take over the process of conditioning (creating) ourselves by continuing to live out of our past. We continue to see ourselves and process our experiences as we’ve been taught to through our conditioning, and the voice of those who judged and criticized us becomes our own internal voice that we continue playing over and over in our mind.
How we Shape Ourselves
We all have
a tendency to only live out of a handful of memories that we use as the means
of constructing our story about ourselves and our life. These are the memories
that had the greatest impact on us, and that we use in a continuous fashion to
shape ourselves accordingly. There are many other memories that we could use
that would contradict our story, or tell a different type of story altogether,
but we choose to ignore and exclude those, and often, over time, forget them
completely. This natural ability to select the memories that we use to build
our life story out of is a demonstration of our soul’s true ability to create
itself, but of course we usually fail completely to realize “how” our mind is
operating to “create”, and focus instead on the conditioned content as what we’ve
been taught to think and feel. We don’t know how to recognize the laws by which
our mind works to create an image of ourselves “as” a certain type of person,
and believe instead in the illusion of our own making.
My own
experience of this as a realization came from a basic form of inner guidance
that called me on my own story about things. One of the feelings I always had
as a kid was that nobody knew me as I really am, and judged me instead to be
the same as my family, which I was nothing like in the most basic sense. As a
young adult I moved to a town where nobody knew me or my family, and as I was
getting ready to walk through the doors of a restaurant I was working at, it
seemed like a kind of metaphor for walking into a new reality, and a voice
inside said . . . okay Linda, you’re always saying that people don’t know you
for who you really are, so who are you? The only thing that people are going to
know about you here is what you choose to tell them. No one knows anything
about your past or what you’ve been through. And I decided at that point that I
wasn’t going to talk about my past or my family.
What I immediately noticed is how people looked at me and how they treated me based on being myself. I felt a kind of heaviness had been lifted from me, and a strange, newfound freedom. Like I was standing in front of a blank canvas and deciding what I was going to create. I had a blank piece of paper where I could write whatever story I wanted to. As a result of never talking about my past and deciding I was going to create myself in a conscious manner, I began forgetting about the past and over time thought about it less and less. As I no longer chose to dwell in memories of the past, I began feeling different about myself and my life. My personal growth during this time was phenomenal and I slowly began transforming myself into a completely new type of person. The person I consciously decided to be.
Many years
later, when I finally opened up and talked briefly about my childhood and what
I went through growing up, people that knew me were shocked. They had no idea
and thought I had come from a well-to-do family, had an extensive education,
and was nurtured as a child by loving parents. As time went on, many years
later, when I would talk about the crazy stuff we did as kids (I had 3 older
brothers), instead of talking about it as abuse and tragedy, I decided I was
going to embody the outlook and attitude of two of my favorite fictional
characters, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, and I re-told the stories of my
past in a humorous and adventurous way. All of my stories about running away,
hoping trains to who knows where, and living in forts on the streets became
exciting adventures of exploration and freedom. I retold the exact same
experiences from and entirely different perspective, and as a result changed
the memories themselves in terms of how I “experienced” them and how I felt about
myself as a result. I literally recreated myself using the same memories as
life events while experiencing them in a whole new way. This was my first
lesson in the art of self-transformation.
Now, as a
fully mature person who has lived many lives in the course of this life and
personality, I hardly ever talk about my past or myself in the general sense,
and instead practice being present, talk about ideas and what my life is about
currently. I’ve grown so much in terms of my ability to create myself
intentionally that I don’t even relate to the little girl in my memories
anymore. Many people see me as mysterious and a bit hard to get to know,
without realizing that it’s because I no longer choose to live from my
unconscious conditioning of the past, and instead identify with my true self as
a universal being that’s the “storyteller” and the one creating the reality
rather than the hypnotized personality still living out of the past and how I
was shaped by others.
To wake-up
in life isn’t to “heal from the past” by going through years of therapy where
you “work through the issues of your past”, which usually only causes you to
become even more identified with your past and the need to tell about “what
happened to you” as a means of explaining why you’re the way you are. It comes
instead through realizing who you really are as a soul and identifying instead
with being the one who’s doing the creating by way of the story you keep telling
yourself and others, often referred to as “your truth”. It’s detaching from
your own past memories formed as a child when you had no real self-awareness
and assuming the position of being the one who’s creating an image of yourself
and producing the reality of your life “as” that story. You decide that you no
longer need to keep telling that story as an expression of who you are, and you
let go of it as a result. You no longer present yourself through the stories of
your past and realize instead that you can create in the present whatever
experience of yourself you want to by simply choosing to operate your own mind
and imagination in an intentional manner.
What we
think of as our “self” is formed out of memories. Our memories only remain
alive if we continue to give them life in the present by constantly reliving
them in our imagination. To change the self, you have to change the memories
that serve to form it. All memories are actually something we create by how we
interpret the events of our life out of whatever emotional state we were in at
the time. By constantly reliving the memories over and over keeps us locked
into the same emotional states. Whatever memory we play out and the emotion it
keeps us infused with forms all of our natural perceptions, behaviors, and activities.
You don’t change a memory by reinterpreting it to give it new meaning, but by “experiencing”
the same event from a different perspective and attitude that causes you to “feel
different” and elicits a different emotion in response to it. We evolve and
transform ourselves by re-imagining our life experiences. All will to create
lies in masterful use of your own imagination.
While many
people approach the idea of meditation as a method of some kind that’s designed
to produce a predictable effect, and believe there are only certain ways to “truly
meditate”, the fact may be that it’s a process through which we train our mind
to step outside of our lower, conditioned nature and connect intimately with
our higher Self. In our Western society, which has a tendency to focus almost
exclusively on our physical nature, meditation is often seen as a means of
calming the mind and inducing deepened states of relaxation, which is the
beginning stage of most meditative processes.
Some people even go so far as to argue about what’s meditation and what’s not, indicating that there’s a right way of doing it and a wrong way. Yet meditation, like any spiritual practice, which means it involves how you use your own mind to achieve altered states of consciousness, is something that’s done in a unique way by everyone doing it. There are no rules of right and wrong ways, simply guidelines that provide us with a starting point as a means of producing the foundation out of which a natural process arises and becomes active beyond our ability or desire to control it. If you’re held to the idea of a right and wrong way, and go about it by obeying rules laid down for you by others, then it simply becomes a relaxation technique or produces whatever the structured process is designed to produce.
Meditation as a Spiritual Practice
Meditation
as a spiritual practice provides us with a means of calming and subduing our
habitual thoughts and impulses, while forming a place of inner peace and
silence that ultimately connects us with our Higher Self. It also provides us
with a process for being able to step outside of and detach from the conditioned
“content” of our mind and view it instead from an objective and unemotional perspective.
As we detach from our own thoughts and story about things and view them instead
from a perspective of “witnessing” them, we begin realizing the “process”
involved that acts to give rise to our thoughts. We can watch the impulses as
they rise up, form into a whole synchronized series of interrelated thoughts
that peak and express momentarily, then subside, die down, and fade away, while
another impulse rises in its place.
By quieting the mind of outer awareness and habitual thoughts, we become present with our inner awareness. Our focal point becomes our own feelings and allowing our thoughts to freely flow by without grabbing onto them or penetrating them and going into a detailed story or narrative of some kind. As we simply sit on the shore and content ourselves with watching our thoughts flow by we can begin realizing that it’s merely the “content” of our mind produced by our conditioning, and we become aware instead of the process involved in “producing our thoughts” as our perception of reality, which is a form of delusion that we’ve mistaken for being “who we are”. By observing the content of our mind we can begin realizing that we’re not the story itself, but rather the mind that’s producing and acting to give rise to the story “about” our self. We’re the author and storyteller, and not the story itself. Our soul is our mind as the medium through which the story plays out as a reality.
Once we gain
realization around how it is that we’re acting to “create our self” through the
reality we create through the perspective of our conditioning and personality,
we can begin questioning our own motives, and gaining even deeper realizations
about the nature of our unconscious mind and how it acts to produce our
perception of reality. As we move into the emotions that drive our thoughts and
actions, while maintaining an awareness that’s detached from the need to somehow
justify and validate our reality as being true, the illusion of it becomes more
and more apparent, and our identification with our body and personality begins slowly
fading away. We can gain an awareness of our “self” as the medium through which
our thoughts take place, rather than being the thoughts themselves.
As we
continue to become aware of the process our mind undergoes as a means of
creating our perception of reality, we begin stepping into our true identity as
the mind and soul that’s creating it as a mental projection. This awareness as
a new and higher form of self-realization liberates us from the delusion of our
conditioning and we no longer have a need to continue creating it. As our
conditioned mind begins dissolving and fading away, we begin sensing our “self”
and reality as it really is, apart from our story. We see with great clarity
that we were creating our self out of a false identity through an unconscious
state where we didn’t realize in the direct sense who we really are, what we
were doing, and how it is that we were doing it.
As we gain a deeper awareness of our self as our higher consciousness, we shed the identity of our conditioning, neutralizing and purifying our body, and it becomes the temple as a vehicle for our higher self to create from a fully conscious state of “actual” self-awareness. We come fully into the realization that the material reality is not who we are, but something we create by formulating it inwardly as imagined thoughts that are then projected outwardly. All needs and desires for material possessions and status that used to provide us with the means for defining ourselves and feeling secure in our false identity begins to disappear. As we realize that we’re not “of this world” or dimension, and begin consciously residing in a higher awareness, we assume a natural position of serving others. Our karma that was incurred through unconscious conditioning resolves and we no longer continue to live and create out of it. Liberation comes as a “mental state of being”, not a physical one. The mental is what lays the foundation for the physical to naturally emerge out of.
Seeded Meditation
Another
method of meditation comes by entering into an altered state of passivity,
while setting an intention to acquire information about something as an answer
to a question or problem. By fully relaxing our mind and body, calming all
habitual thoughts while relinquishing the need to try and control or come up
with the answer from our conditioned mind of personal memory, and impressing
the question on the empty space within and around us, then letting go and
residing patiently in silence, we connect with higher consciousness and act as
a passive “receiver” for information that provides us with the answer to our
inquiry. Questions and answers, like higher and lower planes of the same
reality, exist in polarity to each other. They’re complementary aspects of the
same idea as a holographic pattern.
By focusing
our attention in a single minded fashion on the question, free from
distractions, we tune ourselves energetically (spiritually) to the answer, and
serve as a passive receiver for the answer to come “through us”. As long as we’re
actively trying to “figure out the answers”, we exist in an active state and
can’t receive an answer that’s not a part of the previous experiences of our
conditioning. The “active aspect” (masculine) of the mind can’t communicate
(seed) with another active aspect, it has to have a passive mind (feminine) that
can “conceive it” and where it can “rise up” within the imagination of the
passive mind (unconscious) and reveal itself (begin unfolding) as a
thought-form.
The subconscious is the receptive aspect of the lower material mind and serves to “draw in” and gives life to the active aspect of either the higher mind, or lower self-conscious mind of outer awareness on the same lower plane of the subconscious. By silencing the active material mind of conditioned thought, we render ourselves passive and receptive, and become a fluent receiver for higher consciousness to “seed and impregnate us” with an idea that will serve as an answer to our question or solve a problem. If we begin to use our conditioned mind to evaluate and alter the answer through our beliefs and emotional filters, then we stay stuck in the reality of the problem. This is what Einstein was referring to when he said “a problem can’t be solved with the same mind that created it”, and why all great thinkers and inventors get their ideas as a form of “vision” that comes to them out of the blue bringing new awareness and realizations.
Goal of Meditation
While many “use”
meditation to achieve certain states or as a means of relaxing, once you get
into a regular practice and begin connecting with your higher consciousness
within the silence of your material mind, it produces a feeling of euphoria and
you begin “falling in love” with your higher self. You form a deep desire for
the connection and begin identifying with it as a normal way of being. Once the
illusion of our conditioned state begins falling away along with the identity
we formed through it, and we begin “looking through the eyes of higher
consciousness”, we begin training ourselves to maintain a passive mind as a
normal way of being in order to stay connected with our higher awareness. We
become fully “present” in our everyday life while maintaining a sense of inner
peace. Meditation becomes our normal way of being and we train our body to be
the vehicle and instrument for higher consciousness to inhabit, be, and express
through.
When this
happens you give up the need to be right, you no longer argue to prove your
point, all pain and suffering born out of the illusion and lack of forgiveness
fade, you lose your desire for material gratification and status, and you begin
seeking solace in the silence and natural beauty of things. You begin tuning
into the miraculous nature of life, and feel compassion for all other living
beings. Every act becomes an expression of kindness because you’re no longer
invested in the illusion and need to judge others who are still consumed with
the illusion of their own making. Once we no longer get our identity from our
conditioning, we liberate ourselves from our own story and tendency to delude
ourselves. We realize with extreme clarity that we are “in this world, but not
of it”, and that “of ourselves we’re nothing”. All true power comes from our
higher self. We’re not the product of our own story; we’re the creator of it.
Our story of reality takes place both “within us” and “outside of us” through the
medium of our mind as a projection through the time-space continuum.
One of the most fundamental truths that we need to honestly comprehend in order to learn how to consciously create our self and our life, is in realizing the true relationship between the mind and body. While there’s a fundamental misconception that the body somehow “gives rise to” the mind, partially due to the fact that there are three basic aspects of the mind and soul, one of which is oriented to what we call “body consciousness” as our subconscious, the fact is the mind is what produces and maintains the life of the body. The body, including the brain and heart, and all “matter” for that fact, is comprised of light (photons) that’s organized into a physical form producing a “house or temple” for the mind as the soul to inhabit and use in order to express, create, and evolve itself to higher and lower levels of consciousness. Matter as the body is passive and receptive in nature, and acts to draw in and bond with the energetic essence of the mind through resonance.
The mind, like the soul (which is synonymous) isn’t a fixed form like the body it inhabits, but is a living, breathing field of energy that’s constantly evolving and reformulating itself by absorbing and integrating energy of a similar nature to it from the atmosphere around it and from parallel planes of both a higher and lower nature. The mind sets the vibratory frequency of the body, which acts as a tuner, receiver, transducer, and transmitter of energy as knowledge and ideas of various sorts. We’re designed to “receive knowledge” based on what quality as a state of mind we embody and become. We tune into and merge with planes of knowledge through resonance by becoming “like” the qualities as consciousness of that plane.
Our state of mind is something that we
have the ability to regulate and determine by learning how to use the different
aspects of our mind to regulate other aspects. Our mind works “on itself” to
produce the experience of itself as a whole reality. The subconscious of the
body doesn’t have the ability to become self-aware and gain intuitive
realizations about itself, then actively decide what state it’s going to
produce in order to act as a conduit for specific and selected types of
knowledge, but simply acts instead as a passive receiver and vehicle for the
higher, conscious aspect of the mind. It will readily absorb, become one with,
and actualize as a reality whatever “idea” is acting to “impregnate it”. This
aspect of the mind acts as a womb for suggestion given to it by an active (willful)
mind, and produces the reality of the suggestion as an “experience” of it. It
creates the idea first as an inner representation or imaginary reality that
then becomes the metaphorical template as an organizing mechanism for producing
as an outer reality of the same nature.
When we remain unaware of how we’re programming ourselves or allowing ourselves to be programmed by others, we create ourselves in a random and haphazard way, usually without any real awareness of what we’re doing and how we’re doing it. This is why this aspect of the mind is referred to as “unconscious”. It lacks awareness in the most basic sense of the idea, and most importantly and awareness of its true nature as a creative, self-determining being. This is the aspect of the mind we share with the animal kingdom that’s driven purely by instinct as emotionally motivated behavior born out of conditioning and whatever we’ve been “trained” to as children. When we live out of emotions and the imaginary dramas they produce, we use our creative power to create ourselves according to the will and illusions of others. As long as we remain unconscious of our own power to create, we live in a constant reactive state where we act to “absorb and assimilate” all the emotions of others being transmitted in near proximity of us without any resistance or apparent ability to redirect them.
The Relationship between Thought and
Emotion
All of life exists as a dynamic series
of intimate relationships that work together to “create realities” as varying
planes of existence unified into a coherent idea. Thought and emotions are
complementary opposites that play off each other in order to produce an
experience of reality as a coherent and cohesive idea. They both exist as a
part of what we call the astral plane of formation, which, like all parallel
planes operate through a form of hierarchy as an up and down, back and forth,
in and out movement. In the astral plane (atmosphere of star (sun) light),
which precedes the material plane and serves as a kind of spatial map for
organizing the material matrix, we have upper and lower regions as a range of
vibration. The upper can be viewed as thought which forms light into shapes and
scenarios, and the lower is comprised of emotion which is the formative and motivational
force of thought.
Thought as “form” provides the empty shell as a kind of metaphor that spirit inhabits, and emotions determine the behaviors the thought-form takes on. When we’re oriented from the higher regions descending into the lower, thought is causal in nature and acts to naturally invoke its complementary emotion, using it to create in a precise and deliberate manner. When oriented from the lower region of emotion ascending upward, the emotion gives rise to and determines the nature of thoughts that are associated with it. One is always married to the other as a means of creating a singular experience of reality. When we allow emotions to dominate us, they control our thoughts and run our imagination, rendering our higher nature a servant to our lower, unconscious nature. When reversed, we control and determine our thoughts and regulate our emotional state, rendering it a servant to our higher, conscious, and creative nature.
This is why cleansing ourselves of all
negativity and purifying our mind and soul are a fundamental part of all
spiritual and creative development. Whatever “state” we cultivate and maintain
determines what plane of knowledge we tune ourselves to and experience as our
perception of reality. A negative, lower vibration of pain and destruction
(hate, anger, vindictiveness, jealousy, sadness, etc.) keeps us imprisoned in
that reality, which we ourselves are acting to create. All qualities have whole
planes of knowledge associated with them. Anger tunes us into the knowledge of
that plane, where we act to propagate and multiply anger by creating consistent
experiences that express and feed our anger.
Whatever quality and emotional state we
embody and allow to take hold within us (whether unconsciously or with
awareness), we become in spirit (mind), and we “exist” on that level of reality
while continuously acting “on ourselves” to produce more of those type of
experiences. As we produce consistent types of experiences they become our
memories and build up through an accumulative process, and become our soul’s
constitution as the blueprint we use for creating ourselves and more realities
of the same nature. We become the channel for expressing anger by becoming it
in mind and body, condemning ourselves to a life of constant pain and
suffering. When we do this to ourselves we live in our lower, unconscious, and
unaware mind as we’re being created by others and our own reaction to imaginary
illusions about ourselves and others.
Anytime we’re reacting (emotionally) we’re lending our will to be created by whatever is causing the reaction, and creating ourselves “as” our lower nature. As we take on the emotions of others that act to awaken and feed those same emotions in us, we act on ourselves in an aware manner to tune our mind to produce realities that express the emotion and “give us more of it”. Whatever we become one with in mind and body we tune and bond ourselves too energetically. All “states of mind” are associated with spheres of knowledge that act naturally to produce the reality of that state. In order to change our reality and the nature of our experiences, we need to change our state of mind as a “quality of consciousness”. This requires self-awareness, consciously making new decisions, and using our will to discipline ourselves to a new way of being.
Observing our own Mind and Tendencies
As human beings, we employ emotions as
the means of creating without realizing the consequences we draw upon ourselves.
Heaven and hell aren’t “places” in terms of how we tend to think about them;
they’re “states of mind” as the reality we create out of that state. This is
very easy to realize by simply observing the difference between your
perception, how you feel, and how you interpret things to create your
experience of them while in an angry or resentful state as opposed to an
inspired or loving state. How we perceive and experience the same event or
situation is completely different based on what mood we’re in at the time.
Whatever mood you’re in determines what you focus on, think about, what
memories run through your mind, how you see others, your attitude, and how you
act.
Emotions only exist in the lower planes
of the unconscious as instinct designed to produce behaviors that are automatic
and engaged in without awareness or the need to consciously evaluate them. They
are projected and transmitted through the astral plane (atmosphere) as an
energetic charge. They’re ‘infectious’ because we ‘absorb’ and take them on
without directly realizing it and let them ‘run us’ by triggering memories that
we use as a form of thematic template for forming our thoughts. As we
unconsciously take on an emotion and form the inner reality of the emotion, we
‘tune ourselves’ energetically to the reality and actions of those emotions.
Through our emotional states we become a predictable part of the ‘group mind’ which
determines how we form our thoughts about ourselves and others as the reenactment
of our “formative conditioning” as children and the ‘suggestions’ we’re
constantly allowing into our mind that are given to us by others.
Once we realize the true nature and purpose of emotions, we can resist taking them on while intentionally acting on ourselves to control and redirect our own thinking and cultivate a positive state and the reality instead. The most basic form of self-control comes from learning how to regulate our own emotional states. All “qualities” as a “way of being” have planes of knowledge associated to them that produce our perception of reality as the basis for creating our experiences. In order to access ‘higher planes’ of reality we must first act on ourselves to cultivate and consistently maintain an ‘exalted (virtuous) state’. In order to step into our divine nature as a self-aware creative being we have to become like the beings of that plane. We have to move out of a constant state of unconscious reaction to one where we’re conscious and proactive. We have to move from being unconsciously created by others to becoming consciously created by ourselves in an intentional and precise manner.
Vibratory Hierarchies as Perceptual Filters
and Self-Organizing Processes
States, planes, spheres, realms, worlds,
kingdoms, and dimensions all exist in a hierarchical flow from higher to lower,
and from lower to higher vibration. All vibration has patterns as informational
structures that form and animate whole realities. Through the Law of Vibration,
sympathetic induction (absorption), and coherence (integration to form a new
vibration), a kind of filtering process takes place where different aspects of
the same group of information are made passive and active (turned on and off),
forming new combinations as an altered or modified configuration of the same
thing (theme). The elements involved remain the same, but they’re arranged and
reformulated to form a new version as a complementary pattern or living offspring.
Everyone who is a part of the same event or situation experiences it in a
unique way and tells a different account of it based on their state of mind at
the time and what they noticed and emphasized and what they ignored and left
out. We all take the same group of shared information and abstract only specific
aspects that can be formed into the reality of our mental paradigm. We’re
always taking what we can think of as a universal idea and re-organizing it to
form a personalized version of the same basic nature.
We can only move from ‘one plane to another’ (between planes) through resonance. By becoming of the same nature as the qualities (pattern of being) inherent in that plane, we’re spontaneously ‘absorbed’ into it as a form of energetic intake. When two frequencies are similar in nature and tuned to the same master key, they serve to activate each other where one enters into and blends with the other, influencing both to form an altered vibration through a form of synchronization. Once united as the same thing, the vibration of both is altered and they begin vibrating in harmony with each other as a new state. Lower levels can’t access higher levels directly because they’re not similar enough to each other, and therefore a medium is required as the equilibrating point between them that can act to absorb one, integrate and assimilate it to become close enough in proximity to the other that it can be drawn up into the lowest regions of the higher plane.
All planes (dimensions) have a “range of
vibration” as a graduation from lower regions of the same frequency to higher
regions in the same way a musical scale of seven notes acts to form an octave as
an accumulation or “whole scale”. The “accumulative affect” of the lower
frequency (plane) in its higher range, becomes similar enough to the lower
frequency of the next higher plane that it can be “drawn” into it. Our
vibration as a frequency is produced by how we consistently create and accumulate
experiences of a certain type that serve to form our memories, all of which are
born out of our natural mental and emotional states.
As we move from a lower vibration to a higher one a filtering process takes place as a kind of refinement. The destructive, negative, and delusional ideas of the lower, emotional and unconscious nature can’t naturally move into the reality of the higher, positive, and constructive plane of a fully awake and self-aware mind. As long as we remain unaware of our true creative power as conscious and divine beings, we condemn ourselves to the life of illusion created out of our emotional states. As long as our emotions run us and we use our will to create the reality of others through a reactive state, we keep ourselves confined to a mortal and unconscious existence as an intelligent animal that’s easy to train. We remain in the reality of pain and suffering that we’re acting on ourselves unknowingly to create.
Self-Enslavement
We’re all enslaved by our own mind and
how we’ve been trained to use it. When we cultivate and consistently live out
of fear and anxiety of some kind, we act on ourselves to condemn ourselves to a
life of constant fearful thoughts and suggestions that only serve to produce
more experiences of fear and anxiety. It’s up to us to work on intentionally
changing our own mental state. No one else can do it for us. We keep ourselves
tuned to the reality of our feelings, emotions, and unconscious (habitual)
thoughts. Just as our higher soul acts as the medium between higher forms of
consciousness and lower forms of unconsciousness (instinct), our body-soul acts
as the medium for absorbing and expressing the emotions and consciousness
within the material plane through a form of horizontal movement between the
inner and outer as our self and another.
What we now think of as the Human race was
originally created as the combination of higher and lower beings in order to
produce slaves as a workforce. We were bred in an experimental way in order to
produce a being intelligent enough to do the work, yet easy to control and give
direction, with no philosophy of our own. When we’re “in” our lower, animal
nature (which is primarily an unconscious state) we lack self-awareness in the
most basic sense, and the higher capacities of reason. We often lack the
confidence and executive faculties necessary to make decisions for ourselves
and exercise our will in order to consciously create. There’s a complete lack
of awareness as to our higher nature as divine, god-like beings, and we simply
live out of whatever emotional states and dynamics we’ve been conditioned with
and continue to act as a magnet for.
We become a servant to the will of what
we imagine to be higher, supreme and authoritative beings. We’re taught to
worship other human beings of a higher and more conscious nature as “Gods”. While
in our normal and somewhat unconscious state, we simply absorb the suggestions
(thoughts) and emotions given to us through the projections of others, and
allow them to take control of our will where we cooperatively create the
reality they want us to. While in our lower nature we lack any real sense of
purpose in realizing our own ability to consciously create ourselves. Whatever
state we exist in determines what plane and type of reality we use our mind to
create.

Energy Medicine – Transmutation and
the Law of Sympathies
All living beings exist at multiple
levels simultaneously and have both a physical and energetic body. The
energetic body, which is also referred to as the etheric double or vital body,
is comprised of subtle energy and is what serves to transform a field of
organized information (mind) into a material being through a form of
self-organizing mechanism that’s inherent in the life-force energy. All energy
as vibration contains a pattern and a self-organizing feature that acts to
shape essence into a specialized pattern as a biological life-form. This life-force
energy causes a single cell encoded with genetic information to reproduce and differentiate
to form every aspect and function of a larger, physical body. It’s the
spiritual (invisible) forces that activate and animate all physical beings not
only producing an analogous form, but also the consciousness and personality of
that form as its “life”. It’s the subtle intelligence that gives life to all
living beings by holding trillions of cells (single replicas) together as a
unified and self-governed field of information.
The most fundamental composition of what we call matter is light. Light exists primarily in an invisible state and only becomes illuminated and therefore visible to the physical senses when it’s reflecting off of matter of some kind. A blue sky appears illuminated and therefore “light” by reflecting off of dust particles and humidity in the atmosphere (astral plane). So what we commonly think of as illumination (light) is really a projection and reflection of a dark field of energy. Energy as light is invisible to the physical senses whenever it’s not being reflected off of something. Light itself exists in seven basic aspects as a spectrum of colors (values) that represent what frequency it vibrates at, moving from a slower, lower waveform to a faster, and higher one. Each color within the spectrum contains different energetic states as qualities of consciousness. The natural color of something gives us insight into what frequency it’s vibrating at and what type of qualities it possesses as a result.
Whatever properties a material object
contains reveals to us what aspect of light is either absorbed and remains invisible
to the senses, and what’s not. The vibratory frequency of the internal energies
is revealed by what it “resonates” with, which it acts to absorb and integrate.
Whatever isn’t absorbed is reflected instead and forms the outer appearance
that an object takes on. For example, a leaf is green, not because it
chemically produces the green ray of the light spectrum, but because it’s the
only hue of the spectrum it doesn’t act to “absorb”, and reflects it instead.
So what we think of as the inner constitution of something is comprised of the
qualities and potencies it naturally acts to absorb and assimilate from the
atmosphere around it, which is what forms its energetic state, and is only
evident in its outer appearance by what it’s “not”. The outer appearance is
produced by the complementary opposite of its inner state. For example, green
is the complementary opposite of red. So an outer color of green tells us that
it acts to absorb the red frequencies of the spectrum.
The internal nature of light is actually
comprised of all the colors of the spectrum as the essence or inner nature of light
which is why it doesn’t reflect any colors and appears invisible. Colors, or
“rays” as they’re commonly called, exist as qualities that each has a unique,
yet complementary vibration within the same scale as a range of vibration. Light
exists as seven basic colors, in the same way that seven notes makes up a
musical scale as an octave. The eighth one is formed as the summation of all
seven as an accumulation that takes it to the next higher scale as the base
note that begins that scale. The form light takes on as a physical object is
based on its rate (speed of movement as a wave-form) and mode (quality and
function) of vibration, and is referred to as its essence, which contains a
certain type and kind of pattern. A pattern acts as a template for organizing
the informational structure of a material form, giving it certain
characteristics.
Light, like all energy of the universe, exists simultaneously in a dual state as both a wave and field of information, and as a particle or actual physical form that’s constructed out of the same type of pattern on different scales and levels of creation, and forms both our internal state and our outer reality as direct reflections and correspondences to each other. The inner, invisible light and the outer visible world exist in polarity to each other as complementary opposites of the same idea. The outer manifestation of the material body is produced and maintained by the inner essence and state of consciousness as its vibratory frequency. This is a universal law that governs all of life, and is always true. No exceptions. Energy and matter are different densities as complementary opposites of the same thing and exist in an intimate relationship with each other.
The Nature of Subtle Energy
What we call subtle energy is a
fluid-like light as the essence of Life itself. Its essence if formed out of “qualities
of consciousness” that form our inner, spiritual nature and is what determines our
physical characteristics as a dynamic interrelated pattern that forms how we function
and what manifests as a result. Essence is comprised of different energies that
makeup the personal consciousness and existence of something. It’s a pattern as
an energetic formula of concentrated qualities and forces that make up its
constitution as a “Soul”. As humans we’re unique and stand apart from the rest
of life on Earth because we’re of a threefold nature and have a lower, animal
soul (etheric double) needed to construct a physical body, a middle or human
Soul (specialized as a unique pattern of qualities), and the higher Soul as the
“I” which makes us unique individuals in our own right. These three aspects of
our being correlate with the physical, etheric, astral, emotional, mental, and
causal fields of all living entities.
The Higher Soul is the Quintessence, which is comprised of archetypes that serve as ideas in their pure or ideal state as virtues, and are used to grow and transform material bodies by altering their essence as both active and passive properties. This is the archetypal plane of Higher, perfected consciousness used as the means for transforming ourselves while in a physical body by embodying qualities as an idea that we then perfect in us as an “ideal”. By using the archetypes of the higher, spiritual plane to create ourselves, we form ourselves to be of an ideal, virtuous and god-like nature. We transform ourselves by taking on qualities that alter our character and how we function in the most natural sense.
The Law of Polarity and the Nature of
Absorption and Assimilation
Matter exists in a primary state as the
passive and receptive component of consciousness, and only acts to absorb
energies around it that are of the same essence and nature as the soul
inhabiting it. It’s formed and reformed by whatever it resonates with,
attracts, absorbs and assimilates that acts to modify its essence through the
type, degree, and measure of the energies it blends with. The state and
condition of the body determines what type of energies it acts to naturally
absorb from the space around it. This means that whatever state of mind as a
quality of consciousness we exist in as our inner nature and character,
determines what we’re susceptible to, and what we’re not. Absorption only takes
place through sympathetic induction of “like energies”. We resonate with
everything around us that’s of a similar nature and essence as we are. As we
draw in energies of a similar vibration, they produce an affect in us, altering
our vibration (soul composition), and we begin vibrating in harmony with them.
Our vibration is altered through the acquisition, integration, and accumulation
of similar energies where we become “like them” in nature. This is the most
fundamental form of evolution that all beings undergo that keeps them in-sync
with their environment.
All life as we know it is produced by an idea as a specialized pattern that has certain qualities that gives it the characteristics and produces all of its natural behaviors and determines how it functions instinctively. Our specialized pattern as our essence forms a dynamic chain of associations as correspondences that produce our disposition, temperament, attitude, perspective, thoughts, emotions, and actions. All behavior as activity is motivated and produced by subtle energy. The quality of energy determines the corresponding behaviors and what we “cause and create” as a result. Every action as a cause sets into motion a process that produces an effect as an equivalent reaction. It produces a ripple effect that creates both smaller and greater patterns of the same nature, as well as immediate and long-term effects. If an action is being continuously repeated and maintained in a consistent fashion, we strengthen and develop the energies as the type of consciousness that’s motivating it.
Life-force energies form the full spectrum of light as the essence of all Life. It’s the qualities that form the inner nature of all living beings in different proportions and degrees. This same principle is what acts to form the universal nutriment that sustains all of life. This is the power by which we perceive the true qualities of things, where we take in an idea, and as a means of adapting it to our mental model in order to make sense of it, we assimilate it into an existing body of ideas that we already possess, altering it to “be like us” in order to perceive it in a fully conscious way. In order to perceive the soul of a being as its “life”, we have to intuitively perceive the qualities inherent in it, rather than its outer appearance, which is simply a reflection of light. As we begin resonating with the inner qualities of a thing, we form sympathy with it and as a result absorb the same qualities, activating them within us, modifying our own energetic structure to be of a similar nature.
Relationship and the Process of
Transformation
All things that are already manifest only change their inner nature by forming relationships as new combinations of qualities. By changing the chemistry of an energetic formula, we create new patterns. These patterns can appear balanced or unbalanced based on the degree and proportion or intensity of each quality forming it. All mutations come as new combinations formed by whatever relationships are formed and maintained over a period of time. We don’t transform by attempting to alter the energy (quality) itself, because energy exists as pure essence that can’t be altered or changed, and can only be used to form a new combination of energies that serve to transform and modify a preexisting essence as a complex.
All energies have a purpose and focus
and are of a certain type, kind, and concentration. These energies aren’t good
or bad in and of themselves, but instead are used in either appropriate or
inappropriate ways, making them constructive or destructive. An imbalance, caused
by an excessive amount of a certain type of energy causes a manifestation that
becomes detrimental and ultimately destructive to the entire system (mentally,
morally, emotionally, and physically), causing what ultimately results in some
kind of illness or disease. The natural means for transforming (healing) the
manifestation is to combine new qualities of consciousness that serve to bring
it back into a balanced and harmonious state, or to recognize what quality is
being used inappropriately and finding a more congruent means of expression.
Our subtle body as our etheric/vital body, vibrates at a specific frequency as a “range of vibration” or scale that’s constantly resonating and forming sympathy with all similar energies in the environment around us. We absorb these energies with our etheric organs as the electromagnetic fields of the chakra system, that in turn serve to operate the Endocrine system of the physical body as the means of interpreting and distributing energies to their corresponding organs throughout the body. Chakras are magnetic fields as spiritual centers that acquire, integrate, accumulate and distribute energy, altering the state of the body to match it as a correspondence. Embodying a feeling of love creates a sensation of beauty as a state of mind that systematically infuses the entire body with that same quality by producing a chain of association as the electric signals absorbed by the magnetic centers that send out corresponding messengers (hormones) altering the chemistry of the body to match it. When these mental states are expressed consistently over an extended period of time, producing an emphasis, they act systematically to regenerate the molecular structure of the body to be of the same state or complementary nature.
The Astral Plane of Light
All living beings derive their
Life-giving energies from two primary sources in Nature – from the inner and
outer atmosphere. What we call the atmosphere as a field of light we’re
submerged in, can also be thought of as the Astral Plane of Light (sun-star light)
which is a unified field of ideas (information) as “thought-forms” that acts as
the nutriment agent used by the human soul to create and sustain itself as a
certain “type and kind of person”. What we perceive as the atmosphere surrounding
us exists as the etheric body or soul of the Earth as an invisible field of
substances. We draw these nutriments as elements into our etheric body
(inwardly) where they act to change our energetic composition. The intangible
atmosphere as the empty space around us is the source of all Life upon the Earth
and throughout the universe that we all share in common and use both
unconsciously and consciously as the means of shaping ourselves.
This invisible field is the root of
intelligence and emotions and the source of all archetypes (patterns) by which
all species are differentiated and formed into specialized patterns with unique
combinations of universal qualities. Various kinds of energy can only be
released and utilized through beings whose natures are sympathetic and where
polarities exist. Humans are unique from all other forms of life on Earth
because they’re capable of modifying their own nature and can attract countless
forms of energy as a result. If we don’t use our higher capacities of
self-realization, choice and will to intentionally develop in us the energies
that are constructive in nature, then we exist on the same non-intelligent
plane as the animals and only act to attract more of what originated through
our genetic make-up and formative conditioning. By remaining in an unconscious
state we simply attract and create out of the same type of ideas and patterns
over and over without knowing any better or realizing that we have the power to
change it. We only respond to those energies we can capture and hold by the
polarities we’ve strengthened and developed in ourselves through thoughtful and
skillful means.
There are many different kinds of polarities we can establish that produce a natural chain of association that affects the mineral, nutritional, astral, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual planes producing a similar effect in each one. An individual can only energize an emotional power that’s consistent with their own nature. If we exist in a primary hateful state, we can’t act as the vehicle for forming an archetype of love. We polarize ourselves to hate instead as a kind of gravitational field or affinity that acts to tune into, absorb, assimilate, and enhance and strengthen more feelings of hate. We form perceptions that are hateful and attract people and situations that cause us to feel and express more hatred. All of our experiences come as a result of what qualities we embody as our state of mind and use to create our perceptions and actions as an expression of that quality that reproduce and amplify it, giving us more of it. Like always produces more of what’s like itself. The outer reality always corresponds to the inner reality.
Polarity of Qualities
All qualities exist in a polar state of
complementary opposites necessary to sustain and transform each other. These
are expressed in spiritual texts as virtues and their opposing vices. Love and
hate exist as what seems like opposites, but are identical as a pattern or
idea, and are only separated by degrees on a form of sliding scale. One exists
as the extreme of the other and is necessary in order to create the other based
on how they contrast and relate to each other. We can only “know something” as
a specific quality by contrasting and comparing it to what it’s not. Love has
no meaning unless we compare it to hate, just as we can only know cold as it
compares to hot. The balanced point between the extremes of love and hate is
like, just as the balance point between cold and hot is warm. Opposing aspects
of the same idea, separated only by degrees that move them gradually from one
extreme to another, and balance each other at a neutral center point. A
practical knowledge of the Law of Polarity provides us with the method and
means of transforming ourselves from one state to another.
Therapy in the most basic sense comes by
identifying imbalances and setting up the necessary poles for the reception and
distribution of energies in order to bring it back into balance. By removing
all impediments to its circulation, and opposing two energies, one to another, we
act to neutralize that which is no longer useful or necessary in creating
well-being. Food isn’t merely a physical substance with nutritional value in
terms of vitamins and minerals, but is the medium for the transmission of
Life-force energy. It’s the energetic nature of the food that nourishes us
energetically. The nature of the plant determines what it takes up and utilizes
from the soil to produce its essence, and likewise, it’s the nature of a person
that determines what they uptake from the universal nutriment. This is why when
several people are exposed to the same contaminant only certain people get sick
from it, because it’s all based on the energetic condition of their mind and
body and what they act to absorb or repel.
All things grow according to their kind and constitution. We have the ability to change certain parts of ourselves by intentionally developing our own nature. We can change bad habits, negative attitudes, and false beliefs which serve to draw us to destructive energy and produce ill health and a general sense of unhappiness. Each destructive thought kills nutritive forces within us, whereas constructive thought brings a renewed sense of life to our thinking. In the ultimate sense we’re all responsible for how we use and cultivate energy to create ourselves and our health. We’re the only ones that act to determine what energies we indulge in, feed on, and use to create ourselves, and which ones we don’t. In this sense all healing is “self-healing”. Only we have the power and conscious ability to heal ourselves by modifying our own energetic makeup.
Sympathies – Affinity as Association
Whatever exists in the atmosphere around
us that’s of a similar nature to us, we form an affinity with as a kind of
gravitational field. Through energetic sympathy we form an intimate
relationship where whatever affects one affects the other in a similar manner. They
form a corresponding nature in qualities, properties, proportions, and harmonic
elements. The astral plane is the plane of the Soul and is the medium capable
of communicating and transmitting vibration through a form of telepathy.
Whatever state we maintain on a regular basis we act as a tuner, transmitter,
and receiver for the same type of energy within the Astral Plane of the
material world.
Magnetism and Attraction
Each person tunes themselves to a
particular frequency by the mental state and qualities they employ and
strengthen by expressing them. Whatever qualities as a state of mind we employ
magnetizes us to the same type of forces and circumstances all around us and we
are drawn to them through a form of attraction. We only act to produce whatever
it is we “earn” and therefore “deserve” through our mental state and conduct. When
we polarize ourselves to a pattern that’s self-fulfilling in nature, we
establish a pole between us and the corresponding energy and idea in everyone
and everything else around us. We draw on the energetic essences in Nature that
are analogous to our mental state and necessary in order to produce a reality
that matches and is the expression of our state. We draw on the archetypal ideas
from the higher plane of perfect ideals as metaphors, in order to produce a
reality out of it as a means of creating ourselves to be like it. We draw on
essences in order to produce a unique essence as a new combination that tunes
us to a certain type of reality.
Sympathetic attraction can be thought of as a gravitational field of magnetic forces, where one seeks out another of the same nature for the purpose of companionship and in order to exchange similar ideas. Whatever we “blend with” in nature, we form an intimate understanding of as a relationship that’s a form of energetic marriage as a blood relative. As we absorb it energetically it acts to alter our blood chemistry to be of the same nature. In the law governing magnetic forces, all greater forces attract lesser forces of the same kind. Whoever we form a close relationship with influences us to become more like them, and we simultaneously influence them to become more like us through shared qualities that act to stimulate each other.
The Healing Art of Theurgy – Work of
the Gods
The most basic form of Energy Medicine comes
as spiritual growth and healing that transforms us from one state to another, and
is conducted through a practice known as Theurgy. The term Theurgy means the
“art of the gods”, and a Theurgist is someone who works to heal and transform
by utilizing the natural forces of the higher, archetypal plane as the means of
forming new combinations. One of the best ways to gain an understanding of the
higher plane of archetypes is by studying the various mythology of the gods as
“ideals” that demonstrate how certain qualities, characteristics, and actions
work together harmoniously to produce certain types of reality as a certain
kind of story. The archetypes of the Zodiac give us an in-depth description of
the qualities and characteristics that we all share in common as aspects of our
inner nature in varying degrees, placements, and proportions, and how they
ultimately manifest as our inner nature that simultaneously produces our
physical state and sense of well-being.
Archetypes as gods are always described
by using a dynamic series of correspondences that pertain to their essence as
numbers, letters, sounds, colors, gemstones, planetary influences, metals,
elements, emotions, mental states, qualities and characteristics, and what part
of the body they rule. This system of correspondences provides us with a
formula and method for transforming every aspect of our being in a unified and
harmonious manner where we’re working intelligently by starting at the level of
cause in order to produce a calculated and specific effect. Every item listed
as a correspondence is of the same vibratory essence and also acts as a magnet
for drawing in the same kind of energies.
An archetype as a god gives us a complete idea as a pattern comprised of complementary correspondences, which, when utilized as a symbol polarizes us to the same qualities and essences. By combining and blending essences together we either increase or decrease the sum of our essence. Essences as qualities are eternal and remain the same. We don’t ever change the individual essences themselves, but create unique ones instead by forming new combinations. The human Soul is a part of the higher archetypal kingdom, and creates itself as an individual and unique archetype by utilizing archetypal essences and ideas in order to form new patterns. We change the overall potency and properties of already accumulated essences by forming them into new combinations of qualities as a “way of being”. As we embody certain qualities and utilize other corresponding ideas, we tune ourselves to the vibratory frequency of that idea. Resonance, sympathetic induction, and coherence are the primary law governing the spiritual world of pure energy. Whatever we become one with as a quality of consciousness, we act as a magnet for attracting more of the same type of energy, while simultaneously serving to magnify and multiply it.
Antipathy
The recognition of sympathy immediately
implies antipathy – which are the complementary electromagnetic forces inherent
in every single aspect of both the visible and invisible world as feminine
(magnetic) and masculine (electric) forces that act simultaneously to produce a
matrix of stress lines that pulls together as it pushes apart. When we attempt
to reconcile opposing electric and magnetic forces they form into a spiraling
motion that creates a stable energetic system. One attracts (draws in) while
the other simultaneously repels (projects outward).
We can think of this metaphorically as sympathy working through and inherent understanding as relating, and antipathy through misunderstanding that contrasts. Whatever is of a different nature than we are and expresses in a different way from us, we can’t understand and therefore feel indifferent to. Wisdom, like love, is a uniting force that acts to bring all things together through an understanding of the soul with its source, and ignorance or a lack of understanding is a separating force that acts as a kind of filtering system. Virtues bring us into contact with all that’s virtuous, connecting us to our true source. Vices are destructive tendencies that draw to us destructive energies, people, and situations. All growth and development comes by connecting with and drawing in energies that are similar to itself, yet unique in proportions and intensities, for the continuous nutriment that serves to sustain and expand its own existence.
Motivation and Willful Creation
Whatever is motivating and forming the basis
for our desire and intention is the most powerful factor in attraction and is
what determines the nature as an outcome of any decisive act. Motivation is
what forms our attitude and how we approach an idea as an outcome we’re trying
to willfully produce. Attraction is always due to unconscious or conscious use
of will based on the desire for a certain type of experience as a kind of “wish
fulfillment”. The same actions taken with a different motive will produce
different results. Whatever is motivating our decision is our reason for taking
the action, and is what determines the nature of the outcome. It’s not the
action itself that produces the outcome, but the desire that’s motivating the
action. It’s not so much what we do, but rather how we do it. The same action
taken with a different attitude will produce different results. We should make
it a practice to carefully examine our motives in any situation in order to
fully understand what results from them, otherwise confusion and
disillusionment may occur.
A resentful person creates a sympathetic relationship with those who are resentful, and attract the circumstances and situations that are ideal for causing more resentment. All energies as complexes are self-fulfilling, and act to feed and sustain them. Emotions are not only readily available and easily accessed, but are also accumulative. Our inner life sets up the polarity that determines our outer life. When personal resources are low, we lack self-control, and our spiritual values are inadequate or nonexistent, we may feel as if we have no means of effectively combating the destructive emotions that are brewing within us. We act on ourselves to align ourselves with an infinite storehouse of whatever quality we employ as our state-of-mind, and as a result, cut ourselves off from contrary sympathetic resources. By feeling resentful we enter into a state of antipathy with love and appreciation as the opposing quality, and are never able to resolve our constant feelings of resentment, and act instead to multiply and intensify them.
All negative emotions are destructive
and all positive ones are constructive. Destructive energy is dispersing and
not only antipathetically opposed to its opposite, positive emotion, but also
towards itself, and only act to cause inner conflict as a fundamental state of
confusion. A person who is consumed with negative emotions suffers constant inner
turmoil because their vices are also incompatible with each other and act
against each other in an antagonistic and destructive way. Wherever there’s
internal conflict, there are also correlating health problems. Whenever there’s
psychic confusion there’s tension, and tension causes an obstruction in the
flow of energy throughout the body.
Whenever we manifest an illness or
malady of some kind, we can use a system of correspondences as the means of
knowing where our imbalances are taking place by the organ and part of the body
they occur in. We can find the archetype that governs that part of the body,
what qualities and mental states it represents, and use this information to
intentionally employ the appropriate state, emotion, behaviors and way of being
as the means of introducing the complementary energy in order to bring our
system back into balance. We can note the herbs, minerals, colors, and
personality of the archetype as a means of changing lifestyle issues associated
with it. We can see what the vice or negative character trait is that’s also
associated with it, and use the virtue as a means of transforming it. We can
use the system of correspondences as the means of working on ourselves from the
level of “cause” (reason, mental, emotional, etheric, and physical) to
transform what manifests as an “effect”. All manifestation originates as a
mental and emotional state which is what forms the etheric body. All changes
occur first in the subtle body which is created by the relationship and activities
of all three aspects of the mind (conscious, self-conscious, and subconscious)
working in harmony with each other.
There are very few things that give our
life more meaning and provide us with natural motivation as a kind of passion
and devotion than realizing what our true purpose in life is. While we may have
several purposes in the general sense of life responsibilities that are born out
of love and devotion of some kind, we all possess what we can think of as our
main purpose that involves what we have come here as a soul to learn, bring
into higher forms of expression, and use to grow ourselves in some way. Our
soul’s purpose is recognized as an all-prevalent idea that comes completely
natural to us and is what acts to sustain us through our darkest and most
fear-driven moments, as well as what brings us a true sense of fulfillment and
contentment in the accomplishment of overcoming life challenges and expressing
ourselves in terms of our gifts and talents.
Our soul’s purpose as the main theme that serves to shape our life as a whole forms the basis for other purposes we form that help us navigate stages of our life or that are set as phases of personal growth that are met and undertaken in a fully conscious and willful manner. The fulfillment of our purpose comes only through realization and making decisions in the most important moments to really apply ourselves to the best of our ability and even beyond what we thought we were capable of. It also becomes apparent to us through the administration of what we call “karma” (unconscious use of will to create) and the necessary path as a process of transformation for redeeming ourselves from what was set into motion as a cause and effect relationship through our own perceptions and actions.
The Nature of our Soul and Mind
What we commonly tend to think of as our
soul, is threefold in nature just like our mind is, because they’re ultimately
the same thing, and function in identical ways through the same principles on
different levels or planes of existence that form a hierarchical structure
based on vibratory frequency that move from a higher vibration to a lower one
in the manifestation of the same thing (idea). In a similar manner, each level
of our soul exists at a different level of consciousness with a different kind
of purpose and reason, which are all correlated in a way that can be played out
together in a harmonious fashion.
What we refer to as the “lower soul” is directly associated with our bodily existence as a higher animal-like being and is the offspring (produced and maintained by) of our higher, human and immortal Soul. The main purpose of our lower soul is survival, self-protection, and propagation of the species. It’s primarily unconscious in nature, instinctively driven through emotional states, and lacks any real awareness of its higher, immortal existence. The purpose of our lower soul usually involves family, children and loved ones, and providing for them while keeping them healthy and safe. The means for doing this usually involves our profession and how we make a living and the lifestyle we create through purely material and natural means.
Our higher or “medium” soul is a part of the human kingdom, which exists on the plane directly above the animal kingdom of the lower soul, and is both mortal (physical) and immortal (energetic) in nature. Our human soul acts as a medium between our Over Soul and is what forms the bridge as a step-down process between higher and lower worlds. The primary purpose of our higher soul is to redeem itself from patterns created while in the unconscious state of the lower soul, and fashion itself instead to be of the same nature as the Super Soul. The main function of our higher soul is transmutation through the conscious act of self-creation. We are created initially through our formative conditioning while in a purely unconscious state. Our higher soul takes over the process of creating itself by becoming self-aware and using its higher capacities of the mind to impregnate the subconscious of the lower soul with ideas that it then acts to produce as a reality that provides the higher soul with an “experience of itself”.
The higher, human soul is the creative
aspect of us that witnesses and forms realization of itself around the
realities it acts to indirectly create. It shapes itself through the decisions it
makes by always asking itself “who am I”, and then producing the reality of
that decision that provides it with experiences of itself. Through various acts
of self-realization it makes decisions that it then directs the body to act out
as the means of creating itself in an intentional and fully aware manner. This
is the aspect of us that creates itself through association and how it
identifies with its own self-produced experiences. Its purpose always involves
transforming itself to higher and more virtuous states of being that operates
through more of a universal identity rather than a personal one. As it
transforms itself through constant self-expression of selected attributes and
qualities, it simultaneously seeds the collective unconscious of the
animal-soul providing the pathway as a vibratory frequency or mental state that
becomes available for all those seeking a similar path.
The higher soul resides fully within the
astral plane of Light which is constructed out of multiple planes of higher and
lower regions as specialized rates and modes of vibration. The lower regions of
the astral plane are instinctual and emotionally driven, and the higher regions
are intelligent and willfully driven. It acts to marry thought as an archetypal
idea to the feeling sensations and emotions of a complementary nature (the
thought naturally gives rise to corresponding sensations and emotions) in order
to manifest the idea as a reality of the same nature. For this reason its
purpose always involves growth as transformation that dissolves karma as
unconscious creation and creates itself in a fully conscious manner through use
of its higher capacities of self-realization, free choice, and will.
The Super Soul or Over Soul exists in an “unformed state of pure potential” as a unified field of infinite possibilities. Its only purpose is to provide the substance and means for the human soul to use in order to create itself and always “works”, so to speak, for the benefit of all involved in a universal manner. It’s not “personal or individual” in nature, but is what forms all individuals and personal realities. It contains all of the archetypes as “whole ideas” (ideals) that are willfully drawn down into the Astral plane by the higher soul and formed (transformed) into personalized versions of the same idea through a continuous process of adaptation and modification. This is where we obtain substance as universal archetypes that we use to fashion our human nature as “mass consciousness”.
Just as instinct governs the lower soul, archetypes as gods and goddesses that make up the Zodiac and Mythology govern the higher planes of creativity. This plane provides the human soul with what it needs in order to self-create in a deliberate and precise manner by choosing, embodying, and becoming certain qualities that form characteristics. All higher, human souls are comprised of certain combinations of the same universal archetypes in different degrees and potency. Its purpose is always universal in nature and involves serving mankind and the entire natural world in the most beneficial way possible based on how they use their own powers to self-create. When in our highest purpose as universal beings we realize we are the “caretakers” of Nature (and our body-soul) and live in harmony with all of life which originates from the same ultimate source.
Naturally, these three aspects of the
same Soul share a common purpose that moves the same idea from a universal and
unified state down into an individual and personal expression as our purpose
for transforming ourselves. Our soul’s purpose in the ultimate sense is formed
by a metaphorical idea that’s played out simultaneously on all three levels in
a congruent and harmonious way where one forms the foundation for the next to
spontaneously emerge out of it. The purpose of the lower soul sets the stage
necessary for the higher soul to gain self-realization and actively shape
itself by utilizing the archetypes, qualities, and characteristics of the
Supernal plane. Our lower soul forms what we call our “personality” (natural to
all animals), which is developed through our childhood, whereas our higher soul
forms our “identity”. Our identity is something that we create while in an
adolescent and mature state.
While the purpose of our lower soul comes in an automatic fashion through instinct to survive, reproduce, and raise and protect our family, or achieve material success of some kind, our human soul’s purpose involves using its higher capacities in a skillful manner in order to create from a self-aware and intentional state. As humans, our ultimate purpose is to develop ourselves to a higher state by “becoming one with God” (embodying archetypal ideals), and form ourselves to be divine and self-determined as a sovereign being. Our personality lays the foundation out of which we can deliberately create “who we are” as an individual through use of our higher, creative capacities in a congruent and harmonious way.
Our main purpose as a human soul is to
wake-up in the unconscious state of our lower nature and realize that it only
acts as a vehicle and means for us to create ourselves, not the other way
around. Most people live their entire life being determined by others and their
life conditions and circumstances, and are shaped almost exclusively in
relationship and response to others while unaware of their true identity and
creative abilities. As long as we have practical responsibilities as the
fulfillment of our lower soul’s purpose, it can prevent us from making the true
decisions about who we are and how we’re going to be because of what it would
mean if we did and how it would affect everyone else. This is why our spiritual
path usually isn’t taken up fully until our kids are grown and on their own,
and we no longer have the responsibility to care for loved ones. It’s only at
this point in our life that we can make decisions for ourselves that don’t
violate the free will of everyone else involved.
This change in purpose from our lower
one to our higher one, often comes through what’s called a “mid-life crisis”,
or where what we built our identity around our whole life through a role we
played in a certain dynamic, suddenly ends or changes, and we find ourselves
feeling lost and without a purpose anymore. We no longer know who we are or
what it is we’re meant to do. This is one of the most natural forms of
transformation that we go through as the fulfillment of one purpose, freeing us
to take up another purpose of a higher nature that involves our individuality
as a soul, and consciously exercising our ability to create in a concentrated
fashion, instead of as part of a group mind.
At this point we begin asking ourselves who we really are when not being defined by our relationships and life situation. We begin stepping into a more universal role and make decisions in terms of what it is we want to contribute to life before we die. We move from shaping ourselves based on others to shaping ourselves based on our own ideas about our self. We begin looking at our own issues and habits with new eyes and addressing our own unconscious tendencies in order to transform them into a fully conscious awareness where our actions become deliberate and well-thought out and nothing acts to bind or limit us. We move from being almost exclusively focused on others to going within and focusing on our own nature and developing ourselves by way of our own hand.
Our Soul’s Design
As a human, immortal, and creative
being, we are born into this world with everything we need to fulfill our
ultimate purpose. We’re all designed as a specialized pattern of natural desires,
interests, gifts, talents, special abilities, attitudes, disposition, and
temperament that provides us with the tools and means necessary for doing what
we came here to do. Our higher soul’s purpose comes natural to us and requires
us to actively utilize our full potential in order to achieve it while also
moving through whatever is acting to prevent or counteract it. Our lower soul’s
purpose, which is materially based, sets the stage that’s ideal for doing this.
Our true purpose always requires us to move through our fears, character flaws,
and false beliefs in order to actualize latent qualities necessary in order to
create in new ways by transforming them.
Our higher soul’s purpose can’t be
fulfilled while we’re still nurturing and protecting our weakness and fears
formed through our formative (unconscious) conditioning. Fear must be
transformed by choosing to employ courage in its place, allowing us to move
ahead in spite of our fears, and dissolve them as a result. Fear, like all
emotions, when brought into our thoughts is an illusion whose only purpose is
to stop and prevent us from doing something we want and need to do. Our natural
weaknesses and shortcomings are what act to prevent and counteract our soul’s
true purpose and we have to actively employ and exercise our higher capacities
of realization, reason, choice and will in order to turn them into strengths as
creative tools. We transform them through awareness and the practical
application of universal laws that provide us with the processes necessary for
transformation.
Our immortal soul’s purpose is to ultimately redeem itself from a prison of its own making produced out of past errors in perceiving and by facilitating its own process of growth and transformation. It requires us to step into our true identity as creative, conscious beings and shape ourselves by way of our own mind. This is a manifestation not built with the hands or by way of others, but by the soul that’s acting to direct the activities of the body and material world. This purpose and the process it presupposes are intimate and highly personal in nature and don’t ever require other people to accomplish. Its purpose is to become autonomous as a sovereign being that’s not being controlled and determined by others or the natural forces of the material world.
The process of personal growth involves
transforming vices into virtues in order to become more “god-like”. It seeks to
transform itself through the vision it creates of itself that acts to heal the
trauma and conditioning incurred by the lower soul by witnessing it from a
higher, detached awareness. The awareness as self-realization is what acts as
the means of transformation because it brings what’s operating in your life
just below the level of awareness into the light where you can see it in a
clear and more accurate way. Through awareness alone, which alters our
perception, it loses its grip and we’re no longer caught up in the illusion of
it. As you become aware of the false nature of it, you realize simultaneously
that you actually have a choice as to “who you’re going to be and what reality
you’re going to create” instead.
The ultimate purpose of your higher soul is to step fully into the awareness of your ability to create from a fully self-aware state, and make new, intentional decisions that you then act out in a deliberate way as the true means of creating. We can only break patterns of the past that we were continuing to faithfully act out without direct awareness by forming an objective and non-personal awareness around them. By becoming aware of what previously eluded us, we step into a true position of actually being able to create in new and more beneficial ways. Once we’re able to clearly see an illusion that we played an active part in, we continue to see it any time it’s being played out around us and we recognize when we’re being triggered somehow in order to continue acting it out.
Higher Forms of Self-Awareness
Our true purpose in life is to wake-up
in the dream we’ve mistaken for being real and realize that it’s actually
something we’re doing to ourselves. While in our higher nature as a sovereign
soul we realize that nothing is ever being “done to us by another” in terms of
how we experience things, and that we’re always the ones creating ourselves in
relationship and response to others. Once we become aware of this and recognize
how it is that we’re doing this, we can begin creating our experiences and
ourselves by way of those experiences in a truly responsible manner, and act “on
ourselves” (our lower nature) to redeem ourselves from past karma by making new
decisions formed by our higher self from higher states of self-awareness. By
making new decisions in the midst of what used to be automated patterns, we can
replace them (transform them) with new patterns that are a product of our true
identity and more accurately demonstrate our ability to create ourselves from a
fully self-aware state.
Our higher soul’s true purpose is to
heal itself of past errors born out of an unconscious conditioned state by
utilizing our power of self-awareness and realization, our ability to make new
decisions for our self and our life, and employ willpower to act them out. By achieving
a state of true self-awareness it automatically breaks the patterns that bound
us to lower consciousness where we created in a predominately unconscious, emotionally
driven manner, shaped by the group mind and the emotional states and behavioral
dynamics we were trained to by others.
Once we realize how we’ve been creating our experiences out of a conditioned mindset and automatic behaviors, their hold on us begins dissolving and we can see them clearly as the illusions they are from that moment forward. Once we’re in a position of creating in an aware and intentional manner, and we’ve acted to transform our weakness and character flaws into strengths, and dissolved the unconscious patterns that bound us to a life of delusion, our true purpose can be realized and fulfilled. We gain a true realization that the lower soul of the body is merely a vehicle and instrument for the higher soul to express and self-create rather than what acts to create and determine our higher soul.
Summary
The lower soul of the body is what forms
our “personality” as a member of the animal kingdom through genetics and formative
conditioning. This part of us only “knows” what it’s taught and lacks the
ability to create by “thinking for itself” (inventing in an original way). The
higher soul of the human kingdom is the “I” in the equation and its purpose
involves creating its own identity as an individual. When we remain in a
primarily unconscious state, our identity comes as the offspring and natural
evolution of our personality and is formed by whatever situation we find
ourselves in and what roles we naturally take on and play as a result. In order
to employ our higher consciousness and ability to be self-determined, we have
to realize who we are in terms of how we’ve been created by others up to this
point, and accurately identify what it is about ourselves that we need to
transform in order to take over our own creation from a fully self-aware state.
We do this by actively employing the archetypes and qualities of the Supernal
plane, and by transforming vices as weakness and addictions into virtues as
strengths that are of a higher morality and immortal in nature. The Higher soul
isn’t concerned with material possessions and accomplishments, but only of “who
we become” by way of our material body, possessions and creations. It’s only
our identity as our self-created individuality that transcends the material
plane at the death of the body.
