Consciousness
"If the doors of perception were cleansed,
everything would appear as it is,
infinite.” William Blake
Beyond
Matter
If you look at "solid" matter with an electron microscope,
you will see it is made up of individual atoms, and even smaller
sub-atomic particles. Relatively speaking, this distance between atoms
is about the same proportion as that between planets
and
stars (maybe even the same as between galaxies). Apparently, the actual substance of our 3-dimensional reality
is much more spacious and vacuous than we
thought. Still,
even
though matter itself makes up the outer shell of our
universe, this is the part our physical senses are most conscious of
and englamoured with (as long as we are in bodies, our senses will be veiled by its physicality).
But what happens when we are released from the confines of the physical
body (at
the moment of its death) and our unfiltered senses are freed to dive below the
surface of this physical reality... what will we experience...
energy, vibration,
sound, light, or some other
intangible like consciousness... or God? This
is the ultimate question all religions seek to answer - who are we beyond our physical bodies and this
earthly life? In other words, when the physical body dies and its constituent elements (those same atoms that made up the structure of our bodies) returns from whence they came... what happens to us? I believe that our essence, our consciousness, our "Soul Light" continues to live and glow.
But until we completely cross that final frontier, we do not know for
sure... except for the little glimpses we get while passing through the
in-between places... while in deep meditation or in sleep... when the veils or boundaries between the worlds are at their ebb, and our awareness is free to wander beyond the physical (to all those hidden places), and our
inner being is again and again reminded with the
feeling.. there is something more, independent of external stimuli.
Distortions - Filters - Overlays
From deep within our Being - the "Eternal Witness" of life behind our lives (the essential core part of us that is "Pure Awareness") we "Observe" the universe
through the "lens" of our physical senses of perception (sight, sound, smell, feel, taste), and see life as as it is - or at least how it is perceived. However, over time, the lens of our senses collect dust, get
discolored, scratched, and in some cases cracked, and so what input we receive of life can becomes somewhat distorted.
And upon the film of our subconscious mind, we record and store (layer upon layer) all of our life experiences, images,
interpretations, impressions, identifications, judgments, belief systems, thoughts, programs, traumas
and emotions... i.e. "stuff"... there to remain for all time... or until we delete them from our
subconscious - the "hard drive" of our mind. And as we look out into the
universe (through our subconscious mind), our perception of what is true and real is again distorted by all these layers of recorded and stored stuff (such "overlays" are most especially prevalent in
"Old Souls" who have experienced many lives).
For example, if you looked out into the world with an overlay of "red"
angry feelings, all of what you see would be subtlety tinged with a red glow (almost like wearing red colored glasses), and all of what you feel
would
be this
anger.
Our personal experience of
reality is defined by that which overlays our perceptions of it.
Our inner being or "Christ
Self"
is always pure and free, but when our energy field and
mind/consciousness is overlayed with life time after life time of
accumulated filters (layers of stuff), our perception and thus
interpretation of
the world becomes distorted, and with such
distortions, we cannot act in a pure way to life as it is... rather, we
react to it according to all these old
filters (stuff) we are carrying. The goal of the healing work is
to remove these filters so that our energy field and mind is pure
(crystalline) and thus does not block the
highest Consciousness ("The Christ") from showing forth.
Levels
of Consciousness
Within all of Creation, there are many dimensions and
many universes, each with its own unique vibrations, energies and colors... ranging along a near infinite spectrum from the the most dense and dark to the most fine and light.
From whatever dimension or universe a soul has ever traveled through, a large or small portion of these vibrations, energies and colors are imbeded or coated onto the different layers of the souls energy fields (like layers of an onion). These layers, filters or overlays - no matter if dense or fine, dark
or light - all influence and distort the souls perception and experience of life.
In some
cases,
depending on how many dark dimensions or universes traveled in, a soul
can accumulate so much stuff that their entire energy field
appears as a dark cloud. This souls experience of life would be very depressing, to say the least (unfortunately, there are many people who carry such overlays). Though
there are souls who are totally dark like this, most souls carry differing shades
of darkness located in
various parts of their energy field - from small dots to whole body
parts. If one holds a lot of such stuff, the process of releasing and healing could take a long time... but there really is no other way (to experience "pure
reality", it all has to go).
The
Pure at Heart
The clearer our soul, the more we can perceive the true nature of reality. When
all our filters are removed - when the lens of our senses and mind is polished and
clean - we can see things as they are, not what we have made them to be.
“Enlightenment" is "Pure Unadulterated Awareness"... a state of simplicity... just "Being". Nothing is
added or subtracted from who we are or from reality – we just "are" and life just
“is”.
“Blessed are the pure at heart for they shall see
God”.
