THE CONTRACT OF LIFE WITH GOD

We are energy. All of our soul’s essence is formed of energy and that energy can never be terminated. It changes from one form to the other as we move in and out of life experiences. Our soul essence is eternal and ageless. God, Buddha, Allah, The Christ or whatever terminology We wish to use to describe the energy of The Creator, is alive in all creations and cannot be destroyed. When we think of the souls who died in 9/11 or any event for that matter, they did not really die at all, they simply moved from one form of energy to another. They are not gone, they simply have moved on in their soul’s evolution.

The physical vehicle is but a materialized form which the soul uses on the physical plane for expression and evolution. It is made and re-made many times through reincarnational journeys as the soul seeks to evolve itself. This materialized form of energy is limited to its vibrational rate within our system and appears to the human eye as solid, dense and quite real, yet in other systems it would appear quite transparent. Its energy is interchangeable and within the framework of the third dimension appears to its recipient as the basis for all life experience. Remember here that I am presenting this information as simple as possible, as there is a much greater depth to all of this, but it must be written in terms for us to understand.

Because of mankind’s and womankind’s preconceived notions of his/her physical mortality he/she has oftentimes assumed that his/her physical vehicle is all there is. The soul however, is piloting this craft and with its inherent knowledge of itself and its own wisdom it is fully capable of re-grouping its energy when faced with imminent crisis to the physical vehicle. All souls when facing a horrific death, will exit the body before the moment of impact. No soul wishes to remain during such event. When the souls have exited the body they are fully aware of the events taking place but without the physical trauma. The dimension they will reside in is very similar aspects to that of the physical plane. They are able to create any illusion they wish to remind them of their existence in the time-frame from which they just came, or from any other incarnation they they have focused their energy on.

Each time a soul incarnates into form on the physical plane, it brings with it one particle of memory from past incarnations. Upon entering another incarnational experience of Earth the majority of our soul memories are blocked so as to not interfere with our learning experience. A soul will set up prior to incarnation many probable events that it will choose to actualize into experience including the moments that would lead to a probable death of the physical form. Many of the souls of 9/11 were caught in a state of confusion, not knowing that this was the moment of their death as we perceive it. They entered the transition of their energy phase from one focused point of power to another. Since many were unprepared and the event was so sudden, some may linger around for some time trying to communicate with their loved ones. Most however will seek the light of their soul and move on.

Now let me elaborate a little but here about how manifestation of physical form transcends into the etheric form of energy thus allowing for the transition from third-dimensional reality to the astral levels during a traumatic event.

The victims of any fatal event are prevented from experiencing the great physical trauma of the event. They will be veiled from the physical environment. It is as if they have been encased in a cocoon, removed from their bodies and somewhat set to the side to view the event as if they were watching one of our television shows. In the veiling it is necessary, especially in mass events, so as to prevent the souls from experiencing the physical trauma of the event. The same occurred with the victims within the buildings. They were protected from experiencing their reality. Only the empty physical vehicle remains. The souls will vacate the body moments prior to the event. The empty physical vehicle is still able to function to some degree, but without the main consciousness directing it. It is as if one steps into another dimension temporarily and when the time is right, the soul will have an awareness of its present condition and start the process of moving towards the light and onto Astral Plane of consciousness. Of course in these events there are many guides around to ensure the transition of their energy through the Astral Plane and on to their home Astral dimension. There are many levels of the Astral planes and a soul’s home dimension is predicated on what stage of evolution the soul has evolved to through its incarnational experiences. It is here where the soul will rest and be counseled, as there is often-times some level of trauma to the soul. The soul will be showered with an abundance of love and may have to be cocooned for some period of time to rest.

Whatever is comfortable for the soul entity will be manifested by beings from the Astral dimensions to help the transition. All souls when moving out of Earth dimension will first enter into the Astral plane where they must seek the light and move through it. Many who have had near death experiences describe going through a tunnel. This is the silver cord that is connected to our solar plexus. In the dream state and often when individuals wish to travel within the Astral Plane, they are tethered to their physical vehicles by this cord. When a soul experiences the Earth death process, its energy travels through this silver cord, the energy must pass through the Astral Plane and into the light, the light of our soul’s essence. This light will guide us to the home Astral dimension of our soul’s energy where we will experience, through the use of a hologram, visions familiar to us.

There will also be other energy forms commonly referred to as guides waiting to assist us. For those of us whose light does not shine very brightly because of our actions or lack of in the life or lives that we have experienced, this may be more difficult. If we are heavily grounded in the materialistic realms of our world, we may also experience a pulling to go back to Earth. There are many souls wandering around in the Astral Planes trying to find the light. Some of them have been there for what would be centuries in Earth terms. The closer we align ourselves in this life to the Divine energies of The Creator, the brighter our light will be and the easier our transition. Often these souls have over-identified with their physical vehicles, ignoring the soul aspects of their consciousness and are now left in a state of limbo so to speak, looking for a place to go.

If we persist in identifying with the materialized form of the physical vehicle only, and ignoring the soul aspect of self, it will be harder for us when it comes our time to make the transition. We will find ourselves imprisoned in a sea of uncertainty and confusion. The situations that the deceased find themselves in will vary greatly depending on their own life experience and beliefs.

Now, as we move on, information from the soul’s memories are used to manifest images of their loved ones that have departed the Earth. This holographic matrix is where we will be greeted by the illusion of these relatives that have already made the transition. They will be on the light matrix and the recently departing soul’s energy from the Earth plane is to move towards that light. For instance, if our mother or father had already made the transition of their energy, the soul will most likely want to connect with us during our transition. The image of the mother or father will then be manifest through a holographic matrix in a form that is most familiar to the soul that is leaving the Earth plane to allow them to cross through the Astral Plane in a more comfortable fashion. It is these entities that greet the soul, but with the physical characteristics that the soul has in its most recent memories. It is important to remember that most often these are energy guides manifesting images familiar to us.

However, if our friends or relatives are not already engaged in other stages of activity, then they will manifest and greet us. I would make another clarification here if I may. The word “soul” here as it best identifies with our terms in our reality and it is meant to show us that we are independent from physical form. Our physical form or vehicle is the tool provided to us-the-soul for communication in the third dimension. It is a body and as such has its limitations, and when its life span is completed it will be returned to the energy source from which it came and trans-formed into something else.

Souls will often incarnate with the same souls over and over again and the soul will be looking for the most recent version of those souls since it is still tied very much to the Earth plane from which it has just departed. Once the soul has moved into Astral home dimension, they will then be counseled with their energy guides present and prepared for a life review. This self-examination may take, in Earth terms, many months, or many years. It usually depends on how much trauma the soul experienced, but a life review is always in order. That will take precedence over anything else after the entities have settled into the reality of their energy transition. The life review is necessary and done only with one’s spirit guides as we call them. It is a private matter. The other entities that have incarnated with the soul will not be involved in that process. During this review, the soul will then realize whether or not its contract has been fulfilled. (Use of the word contract again as a human term, it is really the choosing of a group of experiences that the soul wished to actualize and whether or not the soul was able do so. We can think of it as a theme or contract, whatever fits into human terms so that we can understand that there was a purpose for us coming to our planet.) On Earth, there are many stages of development of the consciousness and in order to evolve one must complete these stages. Now in the most simple of terms, as there is a far greater depth to all of this.

This contract is between us and The Creator and is a necessary step in our evolution as a soul. We are part of this infinite energy source. We are an extension of this energy and within the framework of our physical vehicle we are experiencing our life with The Creator’s energy light source. It would be physically impossible for the energy of All That Is to take on a body of its own because the energy is so massive that it could not manifest all of itself in the limited space of one body, nor would a body be able to withstand it. That is why souls have been created. Each soul is a spark of this vast energy source and all of its experiences are also experienced by All That Is. It is the soul’s nature and desire after perfecting itself to eventually merge with this energy source.

After we have taken a rest period for a while and have examined our life, we will then be counseled and we will study and we will learn as we have always done how to manipulate energy. We are the co-creators of our Universe and everything in it. This task is beyond our third-dimensional abilities, however eventually as we evolve we will be creators of planets and life forms. After our life review and rest period we will be given another opportunity to move on our evolutionary path.

A review through some of the many holograms of available experience will help us with these decisions. It is of our choosing however, because as an Earth plane initiate us have free will to move as close as we wish to the energy of The Creator and at our own pace.

Since there is no time outside of the Earth dimension, we may focus as many portions of our energy in whatever life experiences we wish to learn from within the evolutionary framework of our soul. The soul’s perception of this will seem to be an eternity, however all will eventually want to move forward and continue their evolution. Psychics can communicate with souls who are waiting to in their home Astral dimension. They are in transition. They are able to create whatever realities they wish in this transitional period. That dimension is quite lovely and is meant to be a reminder of Earth but with far more beauty. It is a peaceful place where souls may reflect on their lives and commune with one another. Many are quite happy there for long periods of time. This is similar to heaven that we envision in our religious belief systems, however to be in Heaven is really the merging of our consciousness with the infinite energy source of All That Is.

Souls that have committed atrocities against their fellow man/woman are not allowed into this restful Astral dimension. They will be returned to the Earth promptly, reborn to relearn. This return would be similar to our visions of hell because the soul will not be able to experience the peacefulness of its home dimension and once again experience the feeling of separation from the Creator. It would be returned to the negativity of Earth with all of its turmoil. However, the main focus of the soul between transitions is to study and learn from its experiences and move on in its evolution to higher-vibrational planets or go into service with one of the lower-vibrational planets and assist those souls in their evolution.

One must fully transcend all levels of experience in many life forms before evolving to this level. The more life experiences the soul chooses to experience and learn from, the closer it gets in moving into the higher vibration of its evolution. The Christ, Buddha, Krishna, and many more are all members of our planet’s Hierarchy and are fully capable of incarnating in self-made bodies and do not have to go through the birth/death process. These entities no longer need to experience a physical life as we know it, for they have transcended the limitations of the third dimension. These entities that have lived many lives on our planet have chosen to remain in Earth-service in this phase of their evolution. Some of these entities have already entered into our world. They have come to assist The World Teacher who has already manifested his body and is gently working among humanity to guide the beings of our planet to our new level of consciousness.

On all planets there are various levels of Hierarchy working the souls of those planets. They are all in various stages of their evolution. Our planet’s Spiritual Hierarchy is presently working to assist humanity in its evolution. These beings are associated with the various levels of spiritual development and religious beliefs of the citizens of our world. Each one is working with their groups at this time to begin the unification of consciousness and realign all of our spiritual and self into a oneness with Hierarchy and the planetary Creator. Our spiritual ignorance is what has caused so many of our problems in our world. The World Teacher is The Christ himself and this being is highly evolved. He is one of the most evolved beings associated with our planet. All of these beings were once men/women with physical bodies as we have, they are just further along on their evolutionary path. They are here to teach us at this critical time in our evolution.

Fear-Driven energies have been taken for granted

Human beings have been reluctant over he centuries to tune into the telepathically transmitted information that is being given to them. We have essentially put on our cosmic blinders in favor of old superstitious ways. The fear of the unknown has kept their awareness locked in the dark recesses of our minds, pushed aside like leaves on the pathway. We choose to ignore many of the messages that would enable us to complete our soul’s evolution. Locked in the grip of fear and anger we flounder around like a fish out of water looking for answers to our dilemma. We are besieged with an abundance of negative stimuli from media. We are then flocking like geese to the nearest psychoanalyst to explain to us why we feel the way we do.

Often we are given prescriptions for a variety of medications and sent on our way. In this great mass of circular logic we rotate in and out of our perceived dilemma until the overload of our behavior finally gets the best of us through disease or illness – as is quite fashionable these days – to label these anomalies with syndromes of every type imaginable. Then the patient walks out of the medical office with the assumption that he or she has a justifiable condition and therefore can again push aside the inner voices of our consciousness for a more narrow-minded answer to our problems. We can then continue on our self-destructive path and be fully justified in doing so. We no longer have to confront our behavior and its source.

We merrily take our pills and go on about our daily business. Meanwhile our symptoms once again are pushed aside. This endless circle of behavior eventually catches up to us and we find ourselves with another physical malady and so it goes, on and on, one episode after the other. The disturbed energies of fear-driven society have been taken for granted in our everyday life The majority tenaciously cling to these ideas and refuse to accept any other explanations that are not grounded in scientific beliefs.

Love and Light are Knowledge

7 Comments

Many of us have adopted destructive sets of beliefs, lives filled with ego-gratification, greed and selfishness. This however is not the soul’s true nature. If left alone without all of the negative stimuli, the soul would return to a peaceful hum that it has always known. Mankind and womankind would be in sync with Mother Earth and the rest of the planetary life that dwells in our dimension. If we would learn to surround ourselves with The Creator’s light and energy, we would essentially be able to eradicate the constant barrage of fears that have surrounded us. Love and light, which is knowledge, are the only things that are needed to free us from our path of self-destruction. They will dissolve the layers of negativity like acid on ripe fruit and release our soul’s essence from its spiritual slumber. The soul’s essence of each and every one us is trying to pry itself free from the grip of the negative energies surrounding our existence.

As we perceive our reality as something that We have created, then we can and will change it for the better. To find oneself, one must look within, for within lies the perfection of God and the Universe that it ultimately – US. Eventually all of us will see the light, if not now then later. For the entities that refuse to evolve and continue on their greedy, self-centered path with no regard for their fellow man, we may find oneself removed from the humming rhythms of the evolving Earth’s move into the peaceful fourth dimension and assigned to one of the lower-vibrational, two-dimensional planets until such time as our soul yearns to move towards the light and be cleansed. Like a stone encased inside a mountain, there we will sit and wait until we have had enough time to seek the love light.

Many of us have already been awakened from our spiritual slumber and are diligently participating in moving the rest of mankind and womankind into the arenas of awareness. Now when I am referring to negative influences or energies, I would clarify here what I am attempting to convey. It is with respect to our ability to allow our ego’s desires to control our vehicle instead of our soul’s light, as the soul only knows its light and love. It also refers to certain energies in and around our planet that do not serve to evolve with the plan of The Creator.

Now I am not trying to be gloom and doom here, for those entities that are relinquished to this dimension do not in any way reflect the majority of us. Most of us will start soon to get the messages and move towards the light. However, for those of us who persist in the cat-and-mouse game of dominating everyone and everything on the planet, our evolution will not be forthcoming as swiftly as the rest of our planet’s citizens and we may be left behind. I have spoken before about how we can change our reality with our thoughts. Since our reality IS our thoughts, this will not be hard to do.

The “Milumet family of mystics

Almost all of their energy is directed in an inward fashion, with no regard as to whether or not inner experience is translated in usual terms. These persons, for instance, may be utterly unknown, and usually are, for as a rule they care not a bit about explaining their interior activities to others nor, for that matter, even to themselves. They are true innocents, and spiritual. They may be underdeveloped intellectually, by recognized standards, but this is simply because they do not direct their intellect to physical focus.

Those belonging to this (Milumet) family will not be in positions of any authority, generally speaking, for they will not concentrate that long on specific physical data. However, they may be found in our country precisely where we might not expect them to be: on some assembly lines that require simple repetitive action–in factories that do not required speed, however. They usually choose less industrialized countries, then, with a slower pace of life. They have simple, direct, childish mannerisms, and may appear to be stupid. They do not bother with the conventions.

Strangely enough, though, they may be excellent parents, particularly in less complicated societies than our own. In our terms, they are primitives wherever they appear. Yet they are deeply involved in nature, and in that respect they are more highly attuned psychically than most other people are.

Their private experiences are often of a most venturesome kind, and at that level they help nourish the psyche of mankind.

In Every Place And Every Time, Terms Of Being Are The Same

They bring forth the greater comprehension of each self, or itself. For lives come and gone, as we might for fond dreams barely be recalled.

They represent a present unique beyond telling, alive in each consciousness, more important than we recognize. There are no real rules to be followed that will bring us into such an encounter with the present moment of reality – only a trust in the nature of our being. And that trust is within us whether or not we recognize it, for it gives us our present experience; and no matter how our mind questions, it rides security in the real creativity of the soul.

That soul constantly creates the body, and each individual on the face of the earth at any given time places his or her trust in that reality. That feeling of certainty is the same that any plant knows. Any idea, creative insight, or dream, rides upon the same sure thrust

Humans Are Not The Master Of Creation

He or she is simply their creator, and he or her creates because he or she does not attempt to control.

When we try to control power or people, we always copy. To some extent the world copies itself, in that there are patterns. Those patterns are always changed to one extent or another, so that no object is ever a copy of another–though it may appear to be the same.

In our terms, the world is intensely different from one moment to another, with each smallest portion of consciousness choosing its reality from a field of infinite probabilities. Immense calculations, far beyond our conscious decisions as we think of them, are probable only because of the unutterable freedom that resides within minute worlds inside our skull– patterns of interrelationships, counterparts so cunningly woven that each is unique, freewheeling, and involved in an infinite cooperative venture so powerful that the atoms stay in certain forms, and the same stars shine in the sky.

The familiar and strange are intimately connected in our most obvious, our simplest utterance. We are surrounded by miracles. Why, then, does the world so often seem sour and cruel? Why do our fellow beings, sometimes seem like unfeeling monsters–Frankenstein not of body but of mind, spiritual idiots, ignorant of any heritage of love or truth or even graceful beast-hood? Why does it seem to many of us that the race, the species, is doomed? Why do some of us feel, in our quiet moments, such a sentence just?

We make our own reality.

Contents Of Consciousness

To some extent we realize that the world has physical contents, existing at one time yet varying in their characteristics. In those terms, the world is composed of its physical ingredients. That “package” is the only part of the picture that we see, however.

Psychically, our world is composed of the contents of its consciousness. We have maps or continents and oceans, and in the entire view each portion is like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle, all fitting together perfectly, smoothly flowing into the natural structure of the world. So at any given time there is a world consciousness, a perfect jigsaw of awareness in which each identity, however large or small, has its part.

There are earthquakes that erupt physically, and tracings are made of them. There are also inner earthquakes of consciousness from which the physical ones emerge–storms of mind or being, eruptions in which one segment of the world consciousness, repressed in one area , explodes in another.

If we could orbit our planet in a different kind of craft, we could view the psychic content of the world, seeing the world consciousness shining far more brilliantly than any lighted city. We could spot the point of intense activity, see the birth of new myths and the death of old ones as certainly as we might be able to see a mountain slide or a tidal wave. The physical portions of the earth are all related. So does consciousness form its own kind of inner structures from which, the physical ones emerge. We are indeed counterparts, then, each of the other. Yet as there is great variety to physical form, so counterparts follow a still more expansive inner freedom that finds an even greater diversity of characteristics.

Visible Or Invisible There Is Consciousness In Everything

Chromosomes are microscopic bodies into which the protoplasmic substance of a cell nucleus separating during cell division. They carry the genes, the factors or units–‘blueprints’–that determine hereditary characteristics.

 

There is consciousness in everything. Visible or invisible to us, each fragment,  of the universe has a consciousness of its own. Pain and pleasure, the strongest aspects of all consciousnesses, are experienced by every fragment, according to its degree. Differentiation is of course various, and it is in the degree of differentiation that consciousnesses are different.

 

Reincarnation simply represents probabilities in a time context.

Genetic Patterns Ahead Of Time

This is somewhat like the ancestral line, and there are also reflections in the genes and chromosomes undetected by our scientists. The ancestral and reincarnational lines merge to some extent to form what we think of as our genetic patterns ahead of time, so to speak. Before this life we chose what we wished from those two main areas.

Reincarnational experience is also transmitted, then, and can be re-translated from a biological code-imprint into emotional awareness. However, as we are not our parents or our ancestors we are not our “reincarnational selves.”

We cannot say that our ancestors, like some strange plants, were growing toward what we are, or that we are the sum of their experiences. They were, they are, themselves. We cannot say that we are the sum of our past reincarnational lives either, and for the same reasons. We cut off the knowledge of oneself, and so divisions seem to occur. We are somewhat like a plant that recognizes only one of its leaves at a time. A leaf feels its deeper reality as a part of the plant, and adds to its own sense of continuity, and even to its own sense of individuality. But we often pretend that we are some odd dangling leaf, with no roots, growing without a plant to support us.

All of the leaves now growing on this plant could be thought of as counterparts of each other, each alive and individual in one time, each contributing yet facing in different directions. As one leaf falls another takes its place, until next year the whole plant, still living, will have a completely new set of leaves -– future reincarnational selves of this batch.

We are not plants, but the analogy is a simple one.

There is a constant interaction in the plant, between its parts, that we do not perceive. The leaves now present are biologically valid, interrelating in our terms. Yet in time terms each leaf is also aware of the past history of the plant, and biologically they spring up from that “past.”

Each leaf seeks to express its leaf-hood as fully as possible. Leaves take in sun, which helps the plant itself grow (through photosynthesis). The development of the leaves, then, is very important to the plant’s own existence. The cells of the plant are kept in contact with the environment through the leaves’ experiences, and future probabilities are always taken into consideration. The smallest calculations involving light and dark are known. The life of the plant and its leaves cannot be separated.

The plant has its own “idea” of itself, in which each of its leaves has its part. Yet each leaf has the latent capacities of the whole plant. Root one, for instance, and a new plant will grow.

Selves have far greater freedom than leaves, but they can also root themselves if they choose–and they do. Reincarnational selves are like leaves that have left the plant, choosing a new medium of existence. In this analogy, the dropped leaves of the physical plant have fulfilled their own purpose to themselves as leaves, and to the plant. These selves, however, dropping from one branch of time, root themselves in another time and become new selves from which others will sprout.

The larger self, then seeds itself in time. In this process no identity is lost and no identity is the same, yet all are interrelated. So we can theoretically expand our consciousness to include the knowledge of our past lives, though those lives were ours and not ours. They have a common root, as next year’s leaves have a common root with the leaves now of the plant.

Such knowledge, however, would automatically affect those past lives. Ideas of cause and effect can hold us back here, because it seems to us that the leaves of next year come as an effect caused by this year’s’ leaves. To the plant and its innate creative pattern, however, all of its manifestations are one–and expression of itself, each portion, exists now. The same applies to the psyche. In that greater realm of reality there is creative interplay, and interrelationships between all aspects of selfhood.

Outcroppings Of Creativity

To a certain extent we do carry the knowledge of our forefathers within our cells and chromosomes, which present a pattern that is not rigid but flexible–one that in codified fashion endows us with the subjective living experience of those who, in our terms, have gone before. Some very old cultures have been aware of this. While being independent, individual members also identified with their ancestors to some extent, accepting them as portions of their selfhoods. This does not mean that the individual self was less, but was more aware of its own reality. A completely different kind of focus was presented, in which the ancestors were understood to contribute to the “new” experience of the living; one in which the physically focused consciousness clearly saw itself as perceiving the world for itself, but also for all of those who had gone before– while realizing that in those terms he or she would contribute as well as the generation past.

The animals were also accepted in the natural philosophy of selfhood as the individual plainly saw the living quality of consciousness. The characteristics of the animals were understood to continue “life,” adding their qualities to the experience of the self in a new way.

The human body would be used in earth’s great husbandry as, from it, dying and decaying new forms would arise. This was a give-and-take in which for instance, a jungle neighborhood was truly home, and all was a portion of the self psychically, spiritually, and physically.

Let those who will, laugh at tales of spirits turning into the trees–a simplistic theory, certainly, yet a symbolic statement in such societies: The dead were buried at home in the same close territory, to form in later times the very composition of the ground upon which religions grew. Again, our limited concepts of selfhood make what I am saying difficult for us to perceive.

I am not saying, that the living consciousness of each individual returned to the earth literally, but that the physical material permeated and tamped with that consciousness did, and does. Even the cells retain knowledge of all of their affiliations. In physical terms the consciousness that we understand is based upon this.

 

Selfhood is poorer when it does not at least intuitively understand this heritage.
