We interpret reality through our mental body which uses pictures of reality to make sense of it all. These pictures comprise our beliefs, hopes, prejudices, and fears. Each picture of reality is like a vector. It directs our life energy in a particular direction. The sum of all of our pictures equals our Life Vector. Our Life Vector greatly influences how our life will unfold. Ironically, most have not scrutinized the basic pictures of their Life Vector. It is ironic because we can spend most of our time and energy bouncing around within the walls of our Life Vector without examining the walls. (Perhaps they can be replaced.) We take them for granted, because we accept these beliefs usually early in life. They become “just the way that it is” to us, rather than relative pictures of reality. In The Federation Flash, we explore many segments of our Life Vector. Looking critically at elements that we hold sacred is not easy. In fact, if the cosmic timing isn’t right, we cannot even question that element. We must be prepared to see (or at least consider) the possibility that the beliefs we cherish most deeply are relative pictures of reality, and that other pictures may work equally well in their place. At Starbuilders, we are always pushing at the sides of our reality envelope. Spirit leads us to look deeply. What we discover is sometimes frightening. "What? This idea that we’ve (and many others) have believed in for so long might not only be a reality picture of reality, but also may be false within a new Life Vector?" Gasp! We don’t expect you to believe all (or anything) that we share. If you believe it all, you might become a True Believer. When you become a True Believer in any belief system, your Life Vector will drive you into walls. Stay loose. Enjoy your life. Step by step, live a miraculous life. ************************************** Astral Implants: Who, Where, What, Why, and How Being a point of conscious Light in a human body has its joys and its charms; it also has its pains. Some of those pains stem from mechanisms that the Dark Forces have implanted in our non-physical body. We call these mechanisms "astral implants." (These devices are different from the third-dimensional alien implants that abductees describe.) Who The Dark Forces - astral entities who are in charge of keeping everyone miserable - are responsible for manufacturing, implanting, and maintaining these devices. We each have hundreds of implants stuck to our aura like evil sand burrs. As Mortal Consciousnesses, we may feel blocked. Yet, we aren't victims. The Bad Guys, in the third- and fourth-dimensional battle between Good and Evil, use implants because it makes their job easier. For example, instead of manually watering a lawn every day, you could automate the job by installing a sprinkler system. Implants do the same; they automate us. When triggered, we respond in predictable, robotic ways. Where Many habitually believe that the astral plane is "up there" somewhere. It's not "up there," but right here. That dimension (like all others) exists at a different phase frequency in the omnipresent Here. What Implants come in a variety of shapes. Some resemble metallic octopi, whose stiff, flattened tentacles end in unattractive hooks. Others take the shape of enormous needles or armor plates. Some look like mechanical boxes, up to no good. Still others are cork shaped, plugging up areas of our psyche. In color, most have a matt-black finish - almost metallic - except ancient models (that we had accepted in previous incarnations). The latter have potted, rust-brown surfaces. Implants are constructed of fourth-dimensional materials. Our third- dimensional minds, however, are responsible for interpreting what we see. It translates data into something it can understand. Because the astral plane is non-linear, it must translate these incomprehensible phenomena into *symbols* that it unde rstands. What you think you see, is a mental interpretation of what you have. This phenomenon explains why two people can look at an astral object, and both will give a radically different description. Jumping the Dimensional Gap Some implant archetypes have actually manifested in the material world. In the Dark Ages, we had the chastity belt. In addition, an ingenious line of torture instruments, compliments of the Inquisition, wormed their way into our hearts and minds. As we loosened up, we developed girdles, tight- fitting shoes, bras, and neck ties. The first of these archetypes appeared, however, as clothing. Why Not? During childhood, we are at a simple and vulnerable stage. Our environment has only to be *psychically* violent to make us seek help. We seek protection and acceptance. As our bodies age (experience the illusion of time), our desires expand. They may now include power, position, sex, money, and fame. Even if we don't verbalize these desires, higher forces hear our pleas. These forces, though not benevolent, respond. "You want protection? Try on this armor plate." These dark ornaments are easy to collect. How do we untangle ourselves from the web that we've co-creatively spun? How "Implant-B-Gone (tm)": Implant Removal, In the Privacy of Your Home! You can remove most implants easily, although some require a little work. (Occasionally, you may find one that takes a day or so to remove.) The best times to do this are while you're falling asleep, waking up, watching tv, or while meditating, although any time will do. Before clearing your etheric body, you want to guarantee that the dark legions won't replace the implant (that you've just removed) with another. To insure this, rescind the vows, oaths, or requests that permitted them to tag you in the first place. Say, "I'll be clearing implants from my auric body, now and in the future. Whenever I remove one, I also rescind all vows, oaths, and requests that I [or anyone else in this body] have made about that implant." You only need to do this once. Then, begin: Technique #1 First, find the little nasties. Feeling depressed or worried? Held back? Insecure? Angry? Unworthy? Unloved? Whenever you're not living a miraculous life, an implant may be at work, but not always. (The fear-based, animal-natural instincts of survival and hierarchy - built into our earth bodies - can ruin your day without the aid of an implant.) Tune into your etheric body. Feel where the stress is coming from - the stomach, heart, head, throat, legs, or whatever area. Next, use your astral vision. Find and remove the device, and beam it up into the Light. Finally, visualize golden light filling the area. Technique #2 You also can do etheric body scans. Starting at the base of the spine, use your astral fingers to press into your etheric body. Work upwards, inch by inch, towards the skull. If an area feels pliable, then consider it clear. If you feel something unnatural, then remove it. Lovingly vaporize it. Technique #3 Advanced practicioners can take a "light vacuum" and suck up any number of carelessly secured mechanisms. Little By Little We can't remove these mechanical pests all at one sitting. Most of us aren't ready to give up our defenses and strategies all at once anyway. Energetically, we are in a state of balance. When we remove an implant, more of our divinity enters our earth bodies. This shifts the energetic balance. Too great a shift could disorient, overload, or even burn out our systems - not a good idea. We can't detect all implants at once, either. Our bio-computers (brains) are other-dimensionally challenged; they work linearly - that's it. In the astral plane, the Dark Forces can hide implants in Escher-like ways. Logical "flatbed" scans can't detect them all. It takes time and many scans to do this. Other Benefits Remaining conscious while someone is pouncing on your last nerve is a form of meditating. (Normally, we shut down and go unconscious, robot style.) This kind of awareness also helps in the Spiritualization of Matter. *Being conscious of our existential condition changes that condition.* As you remove these mechanisms, you feel lighter. As points of conscious Light, your earth body expands in its ability to embody our light, love, and wisdom. You consciously serve the Force of Evolution and live more miraculously. ................................................ Fantasies and the Dark Side Disclaimer I don't usually include disclaimers in my articles. This article, however, touches two risky areas: fantasies and our dark side. Some call this "The Left-Hand Way" or, at it's worst, "Crash and Burn." I've been reluctant to share my ideas about these topics. Here's why. First, information about the dark side threatens people, and I don't want to threaten anyone. Some believe that by ignoring or not believing in the dark side, it can't have power over them. I don't believe this. Yet, I'm not encouraging negative thinking. Instead, I believe that a positive understanding of negativity keeps us balanced. Second, my emotional body fears that my opinions might alienate others. They might judge me: "He talks about the dark side and fantasies. Something's not right." I believe, however, that understanding our dark side allows us to serve the Force of Evolution more fully. Ignorance leaves gaping blind spots in the overall picture of life. Third, some act without much forethought on information that they receive. Here's a real-life example. We were counseling someone. She was dealing with many regrets. At the time of her divorce, she signed a paper that her husband had given her. It gave him total rights to all her property. I asked her, "Why did you sign it?" She said, "Because, I was reading the book 'A Course in Miracles.' It said, 'Do something you wouldn't ordinarily do,' so I signed the paper." Sure, at some level, we're all responsible for our actions. I can't help think, though, that the author of that book might have a little karma coming her way. She presented herself as an authority. The woman who signed the paper was in a vulnerable state, and she acted on the author's advice. This made me realize: I need to be clear when giving advice or even sharing models of reality, especially when talking about fantasies and the dark side. Earning karma doesn't frighten me. It's unpleasant, though, and I'd rather not collect it unnecessarily. Therefore, if you use this information, be sure to consult your spirit. You probably would, anyway, but just in case. End of disclaimer. Fantasies Loosely speaking, a fantasy is something that you haven't done, but you really want to do. Fantasies lurk in the background of our consciousness, slightly resembling an obsession. We harbor regrets. The Dark Forces can use regrets to manipulate us; regrets grant them permission to implant astral devices in our aura or mental body. These devices alter behavior, spurring us to become angry or frustrated with ourselves, others, or life. They can even change the direction of your life. Dreams Dreams differ from fantasies. They're the I-can-take-it-or-leave-it kind of desire - like mini-fantasies. Dreams don't have that powerful an influence over us. ("It would be great to have a swimming pool.") Visions A vision is a picture of reality that spirit puts in your head. You don't have to push or pursue the vision; it unfolds automatically. Just take your next step. Last Will Multiple choice: you're on your death-bed. What would you rather be able to say: (A) "I've done everything I've really wanted to do," or (B) "Whoa, it's all over?! If only! . . ."? Choice B has karmic overtones. That soul will probably roam the astral plane for awhile, tracking unfulfilled desires. Choice A shows a person ready to move on and explore other probabilities. Limits I put limits on how far I'd go to pursue a fantasy. My limit is "not to hurt anyone." Because none of my fantasies include hurting anyone, in this, I am limitless. Results After you fulfill a fantasy, you'll probably be free from it. ("Been there, done that.") Before, it was tempting, because some (perceived) authority had forbidden it. Now, it's like yesterday's paper. Conversely, if it makes your life more miraculous, you might include it in your lifestyle. It's no big deal. Dangers Some fantasies can be psychologically (and sometimes, physically) addicting. For instance, say your family forbids you to drink alcohol (on religious principle). Once you leave home, you may go for it and sin. Because your family convinced you to repress that desire, it may have grown in power, obsessing you. Obsession is like the polar opposite of repression; neither is balanced. Because of wide-spread moral distortion, unfulfilled sexual fantasies are common. These create rich layers of guilt, manipulation, and suffering, making your energy field pregnant with Dark Force influence. If you decide to explore these fantasies, but become trapped in that world, you'll be in hell. Succeed, though, and the Dark Forces will have less sway over you. (Anti-Puritan crusaders, please note: I'm not saying sex is bad or dangerous. Rather, becoming addicted or enchanted at that vibrational level can knock you off your path.) Other fantasies are to achieve worldly power, fame, status or their spiritual counterparts (like the "Guru" and "Best Disciple" syndromes). Guarantee? No one can guarantee that exploring a fantasy will have a happy ending. If you're dying to skydive, leap from the plane and hope the parachute opens. We live in a miraculous universe. Spirit can provide the chance to fulfill our fantasies. We need only to transcend "practical" considerations ("I'm too old to go to Mecca") and moral consternations ("Wearing lipstick is a sin") and go for it. Sometimes, in the pursuit of our fantasies, however, the most important point is to know when to quit. In your adventure, if you become hypnotized or start to lose your will, take that as a warning and get out - quick. The Dark Side Structurally, we all have dark sides: *human bodies are made of "dark" material.* This sets us up for a prime paradox: Is your dark side your friend or your enemy? If your dark side is your friend, then you'll enjoy being cruel or mean to others. Maybe righteously so. This doesn't contribute to living a miraculous life. If your dark side is your enemy, then you'll be fighting yourself, possibly a lot. If I repress, say, my anger to "fight the darkness," I'm saying to the universe, "I'm a good person. I'm doing my part, fighting evil. I doing a good job, no?" This battle, however, feeds the negative force. It gives it energy. In my head, I might believe that I'm a hero, but the Dark Forces are having a good laugh at my expense. (Warriors of the Light, please note: I'm not promoting apathy. Instead, I'm suggesting that we can act without becoming polarized, although it's not always easy. The Dark Forces are masters at manipulating polarity.) Many spend their lives trying to solve this diabolical paradox. Like most paradoxes, however, the way around them isn't to solve them, but to approach the situation from a different angle. For example, someone once said, "If you're not for me, you're against me." This polarizing statement pressures us into choosing a side. Can't you feel it? Yet alternatives exist. For instance, you might not be for him, but not against him, either. Similarly, you might be for him in some instances, but not in others. You don't have to buy into another's polarities. My dark side is neither my friend nor my enemy. I am a point of conscious Light in a human body. Sometimes, Light moves through me. I experience Light. At other times, I can act angry, know-it-all, or demanding. I experience Dark. In these negative, unpleasant moments, I try not to fight or resist. Instead, I either stay conscious of the drama, or I use a technology. (If I'm unconscious, I can't remember to use the technology.) Staying conscious allows me to understand my situation more clearly. We aren't admitting defeat by surrendering to the moment (and remaining conscious). To the contrary, it allows us to act rather than react. We can be the Wathcher in these moments, as well. Finis There you have it. Fulfill your fantasies and face your dark side. Face it not like an enemy, but like a small, furry creature (with teeth, claws, and armor) that you've adopted while on earth. You'll be less vulnerable to the influences of the Dark Forces. They'll still take shots at you, but they'll have fewer targets to hit. And you might find that you're living a more miraculous life. ................................................................. Constructive Chaos: The Left Hand of the Force of Evolution Sometimes, we keep ideas alive that have outlived their usefulness. We do this usually out of habit, and because it's easy to rely on old patterns. The more conscious we become, however, the more closely we observe and question our actions. These questions aren't randomly critical or destructive (except to obsolete patterns). We check to see if our actions shine with truth. "If this isn't true, then I'm open to change." We invite the universe to insert fresh patterns of thought that help us live more miraculous lives. Acting on them - giving them substance - forces new realities to emerge. Like this, we are engaging in "Constructive Chaos." Astrologically, if Constructive Chaos is the Left Hand of the Force of Evolution, then the outer plants - Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto - are three of its fingers. Squeezing Between the Cracks Spirit-inspired models of reality are entry points for the energy of Constructive Chaos. These new models pressure us to re-think even our basic assumptions about what is real. Heresy, anyone? (Note: Many of us are already heretics in the eyes of our family religion [and perhaps society in general]. The challenge is to be heretical in our current belief system. Many haven't detached themselves from being "spiritually correct." This leaves them at the mercy of their emotional body's desire for the group to accept them. To some degree, this keeps us out of integrity.) That's why authorities and True Believers usually brand visionaries as evil: Visionaries are true to *their* vision and can't, in good conscience, go with someone else's flow. In less enlightened times, the priests or the mob murdered them, usually in the name of the local god or for "the common good." To be an efficient agent of Constructive Chaos, you need to understand that *all* ideas, pictures of reality, models, philosophies, and beliefs are relative. The mental and emotional bodies, however, don't like this idea. Their tendency is to say, "This is my picture of reality, and it's real." It's comfortable. Gyroscope When you start to move in a new direction, sometimes you wonder: "Am I doing the right thing?" If you're in the habit of following your spirit, then you have no choice; you just do it. (More accurately, spirit does it through you.) If you're new to Constructive Chaos and following your spirit, you have to go by the feel of it. ("Hmm . . . Robbing that bank doesn't feel right. I'll pass.") *Integrity is our internal gyroscope, guiding us. Don't sell it. It's worth more than many believe.* The Power of Symbols Models are symbols, and symbols are powerful. Here's an experiment. "Hey, you - the one who's reading this. You're a total in-the-dark air-head. You only care about yourself, because you're weak and unworthy." What did you feel when you read that? Was anything triggered? On one level, here's what happened. Your eyes were scanning the screen (or page), while your brain interpreted the little black lines, curves, and circles ("letters"). It strung the letters into words, converted words into ideas, and then ideas into a picture of reality. With your mental pen and paper, you drew a conclusion *based on these SYMBOLS.* The conclusion may have triggered an emotional response, like anger, indignation, admiration, or curiosity. (Spoken words, body language, music, film, nature, meditation, and daydreaming are symbols, as well.) To some degree, these little symbols shifted or influenced your reality. *Symbols are the tools of Constructive Chaos.* You are a point of conscious Light in a human body. Relative Reality Life is the Great Unknown, even at its most placid. When you believe that you've figured it out, it's a sure sign that you haven't. Living in relative reality is, at first, destabilizing. You know that whatever you believe in today, you may leave behind tomorrow. Truth-structures are momentary. During these accelerated times, this fact is most obvious. Shifting from one reality to another may temporarily confuse you, until the next picture of reality takes form. Yet, despite this inconvenience, living this way supports intellectual and emotional growth. It cracks our psychological shells, freeing us, and serves the Spiritualization of Matter. Constructive Chaos can be unnerving and is never-ending. Unless we embrace it, we will suffer, grow old, and die. If we do embrace it, we will still experience suffering (but maybe less), grow old (but not internally), and die (but not in fear). On the surface, the two states look similar. But peek beneath the surface, and you'll see two distinct realities operating: one finite, the other eternal. ............................................................................ Curses and Forgiveness To clean up your dark side thoroughly and keep it healthy, you need to forgive. Forgiveness removes the grime in your aura that collects whenever you put a curse on another person. I'm not talking about ritualistic voo-doo curses or anything so elaborate, but the common, "I-wish-you-the- worst" variety. Short-Duration Curses Sometime in your life, someone will treat you badly, and you'll hate them for it. You'll wish them harm, if not aloud, to yourself. (If you're heavily introverted, you can wish harm on yourself.) These juicy energetic attacks are curses whose energy can linger in your aura, like wolverine musk. You can, however, clear this sharp energy as it arises, if you want to. After you've blasted the offender, you can say, "I forgive you and me for this incident." If you can't forgive them, then try to release the energy somehow, and repeat the forgiveness line again. (Some believe that hate is a positive force. Hate is intense anger with a thorn of evil added. It doesn't contribute to living a miraculous life; it drains your energy. [You can argue that evil is an illusion, and you'd be right. But like many illusions, evil manifests, and you have to deal with it.]) Long-Duration Curses Holding a grudge is the psychic equivalent of a long-term curse. Grudges create little lumps in the etheric body, like an astral cancer. With the proper attitude, though, they're easy enough to remove. First, mentally scroll through your life, remembering those times when Uncle Joe treated you like scum and how you hated him. Then, visit everyone else who didn't understand or support you. Look into the faces of those who abused you and say, "I forgive you for treating me the way that you did. I'm not a victim; I'm a point of conscious Light in a human body." Scroll back again, and check if you're holding onto anything. If you are, tell them what you've always wanted to say - without holding back. Get it out and get over it. Forgiveness In our tool box for living a miraculous life, forgiveness is like our hammer. (The part that removes nails. . . .) By mastering forgiveness, we not only inflict less damage on others, but on ourselves, as well. ................................................. Unconditional Forgiveness Embodiment One way to improve the quality of your earth experience is to embody spiritual principles. Before we explore this, though, let's define a few ideas. "To improve" means surrendering more to the Force of Evolution. Doing this, you become an effective agent of this force. A "spiritual principle" is a universal law that you can use to live a more miraculous life. "To embody" something is a process. First, you understand the principle, then you experience it. Then, after practicing it for awhile, you incorporate the idea, attitude, and energy into your lifestyle. Intent Whenever you feel drawn to embody a principle, ask your spirit. Say, "I want this." Call this *intent.* That starts you in the right direction. Focus on the principle that you want to embody; dive into it, heart first. Interpret as many events as possible from the new perspective. Do this until you've digested it, made it part of your lifestyle - like a habit. What It Is, What It Does Unconditional Forgiveness is an other-dimensional energy, an aspect of grace, that can radiate through you. It forgives and vaporizes sins. (Although "sins" are illusions, they still manifest and fill the psychic world with dark tones.) Unconditional Forgiveness brings peace into the world. It shows that differences are relative. Whenever this energy moves through us, we effectively participate in the Spiritualization of Matter. On the surface, here's how Unconditional Forgiveness works. You think, "I don't like this aspect of you, but I don't hold it against you. I also forgive myself for judging you." This mental forgiveness, however, is only the thought-thin surface of the process. The real action - the transmission of the force - happens below the mental platform (although the emotional body may feel the release that follows the transmission). Some will pooh-pooh this idea, preferring to believe, "It's all in your head." They're entitled to their opinion. Yet, you can experience this force. It does impact the psychic environment. Those who receive the impact know that something has happened, but they usually don't know what it is. Alignment To be a generator of Unconditional Forgiveness, align yourself with the Force, Luke. Initially, use intent. Then, centering yourself, you put yourself "in the way" of this force. This requires an inner adjustment. No one can tell you how to do it. If it wants to use you, it will. If not, you can keep trying or drop it. (By nagging enough, you might wear down The Guardians of the Gate. Maybe they'll swing the gate open for you.) What It Doesn't Do It's not realistic to think that in a short time you'll be walking around being a full-time generator of this force. More in line with earth reality, you'll run across, say, mind-numbingly incompetent Neanderthals who will make you furious. (A yin example is energy sucking, professional- victim vampires. They'll drain you and leave you for dead.) We can also include True Believers, emotionally mummified bureaucrats, lawyer wannabes, and anyone who (apparently) prevents you from getting what you want. You realize that these beings, too, are points of conscious Light in human bodies. Yet, it can look as if their point of conscious Light went on vacation somewhere. It can be hard to remain non-judgemental at these times. Expecting to move little by little towards Universal Forgiveness is more practical. Just One More Experience Another spiritual principle states: "There is nowhere to go and nothing to do, except collect experience." From this standpoint, being a generator of Unconditional Forgiveness is just another experience we can explore. ................................................. Warriors of the Light; Evolutionary Agents; Roles Warriors I'm grateful to those who call themselves "Warriors of the Light." They battle the Dark Forces. They might even swat one of the bad guys who's been bothering me. At times, I wonder, "Shouldn't I be helping? Shouldn't I be doing my part in the battle against evil?" I feel a bit guilty. Yet, I realize that that's not my job. As Lightworkers, we've incarnated down here on this primitive planet to do a job of planetary proportions. If we were contracting to build, say, a house, we'd be inefficient if we hired only electricians. Who would be responsible for the carpentry? But we're professionals laying the groundwork for a new civilization. The job calls for a variety of roles, skills, and energies. We each have our part to play. (In the New Civilization, we base our actions on love instead of fear. Everyone lives a miraculous life.) I don't envy the Warrior's work. They can send truckloads of those up-to-no-good astral trolls to the Light. However, the nature of the third- and fourth-dimensional realms is one of polarity. *No matter how many of Them you defeat, more will always appear.* Ironically, in this light, the demons spring up, because *Warriors of the Light exist!* (and visa versa). The existence of one implies the existence of the other. In the third and fourth dimensions, that's the way the Universe operates. If you embody one side of the coin, someone will embody the other. We have a paradox here: We need the role of Warrior, yet we might be better off without it. Living in a polarized dimension, however, subjects all roles to this dilemma. Whatever role we choose to play, someone will act the opposite way. We're all in the same dimensional boat. (Good intentions, the force of will, or magic won't determine who will win the battle between good and evil. Only a miracle will resolve this struggle. If we believe this, we can lighten up a bit in our Lightworker roles.) Agents So, what's a point of conscious Light in a human body to do? I've tried on the role of Evolutionary Agent. Sometimes I run across a dark master (or minion). If I can catch him, I send him into the Light. Otherwise, I serve the Force of Evolution - an aspect of my tenth-dimensional self - by living a miraculous life. I invite miracles to manifest through me. This allows the Force of Evolution to use my human nature more effectively, making me instrumental in the Spiritualization of Matter. What's the drawback of this role? Evolutionary Agents evoke devolutionary agents, imply mortal, unmiraculous lives and theMaterialization of Spirit. Oh, well; no roles are perfect. Roles From an eternal perspective, there's nowhere to go and nothing to do, except collect experience. Cosmically, roles (both positive and negative) are transient vehicles for spirit to collect experience. One way to collect experience is to follow your spirit and stay in your integrity. This makes you become like water, taking the path least resistance. (Lying is resistance to your truth.) By being true to yourself - truly yourself - you move with grace and balance. You stay within your power and become normal (which evokes abnormals [who believe that they are normal]). Some might ask, "But who's to say what's normal?" This is a normal question. Your true self is normal. It knows that it is beyond the role paradox, yet it plays its part. The more we know that we aren't our roles, the more we can play them without over energizing their negative counterparts. Internally still, we watch and participate in the real-life drama that is unfolding as it should. ............................................ The Two Faces of Divinity We can assume many identities. As individuals, our highest identity is our tenth-dimensional self, the I AM. (See Issue #32 of "The Federation Flash" for more details about this dimensional model.) At this level, we are spirit - formless architects of the universe. Inherent in our spiritual nature, however, is a paradox. We are individuals, yet we are seamlessly one with all. Cosmic Consciousness As an individual consciousness in the tenth dimension, we are Christed beings. (We call it "Christed," because Christ identified Himself as a tenth-dimensional being.) When we embody this state while in human form, we are the Watcher. Classically, this state is "Cosmic Consciousness." After sustaining Cosmic Consciousness for awhile, we transform into the next state, "Unity Consciousness." Unity Consciousness "Unity Consciousness" is the state where we watch through the eyes of others, as well. We are one with all. At this level, we are as "home" as we can get (without having the universe jump back to Source). Struggle and the Descent of Divinity Neither suffering, struggle, nor work will force our Divinity to descend into our mortal consciousness. These experiences happen along the way. By surrendering to spirit, the descent of spirit happens more easily. Some believe that surrendering to spirit is an escape, a loss of free will, or a sign of weakness. Yet, we can discover a new kind of power through surrender. Because the power of the Force of Evolution flows through us, we become Evolutionary Agents. Living miraculous lives, we sparkle. Conclusion Tenth-dimensionally, we are individuals, yet seamlessly one with all. We *are* the paradox. We can experience both sides of the paradox while in human bodies. Embodying either of these states powerfully supports the Spiritualization of Matter. In Cosmic Consciousness, we keep our individual identity, but don't identify with form. In Unity Consciousness, the individual *is* the collective; we do identify with form. (When Unity Consciousness identifies itself with form, it does so from a [relatively] limitless perspective. The tenth-dimensional being is the creator of the universe, forms included. When Mortal Consciousness identifies itself with form, it does so from the isolated, polarized perspective.) "I am a point of conscious Light in a human body" reflects the identity of Cosmic Consciousness. This state is inherent in everyone you see. Look into a mirror. Your destiny awaits. .......................................... The Neo-Sabbath I'd like to share a practice that I've recently adopted/adapted. Although not an express ticket to Nirvana, it has many subtle, positive effects, like encouraging gratitude. I call this experiment Honoring the Neo- Sabbath. The Jews observe Saturday as the traditional Sabbath. Christians have chosen Sunday as their day of rest (wash the car, mow the lawn?). Both groups respect the Sabbath, because the Bible says "on the seventh day God rested." If God did it, then so should we, right? To start this practice, you choose what day you want the Neo-Sabbath to be. (The "seventh day" after the Big Bang wasn't a Saturday or a Sunday.) I picked Sunday, because they close the Post Office on that day, plus my background is Christian. After you've chosen a Neo-Sabbath, say to the world, "On this day I won't work. Instead, expect me to break my daily routines. I won't turn on the computer, cook meals, clean the house, or answer the phone. I'll take luxurious baths, read [but nothing heavy], and focus my attention on the children [until it becomes work]. Maybe I'll fast or feast. If I feel like it, I'll listen to beautiful music, play games, entertain myself with tv [no news], or eat at a restaurant. Maybe I'll be blatantly lazy [but wit h finesse] and lay in bed all day. Today is my pampered, chill-out day." (That's what I said to the world. It reflects my preferences; your declaration reflects yours.) You may have noticed that I didn't list any traditional religious activities. As a spiritual (as opposed to a religious) being, I contemplate God and consciousness every day of the week. Besides, on the "seventh day," God didn't do religious activities. He rested, right? I've mentioned this practice to several people in passing. Their unanimous response has been, "If only! . . ." I don't believe, however, that resting one day a week is asking too much of the universe. The Neo-Sabbath is great therapy, like a psychophysioemotional massage. Enjoy your life. ..................................... Science Alert! "“What does it mean to have physical contact? What exactly is happening when you pick up a knife, or push a swing, or make a wave in a waterbed by pressing down on it periodically? When we investigate deeply, we find that there is no physical contact. Instead, the electrical charges on your hand are influencing the electrical charges on the knife or swing or waterbed, and visa versa. Despite everyday experience and common sense, even here, there is only the interaction of electric fields. Nothing is touching anything."” Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World ....................................... And live a miraculous life!
