New Dimensions

 



"We are already deep into the trajectory towards collapse. -Will Steffen



Climate change is a grave and mounting threat to our well being and a healthy planet. Ecosystem collapse, species extinction, deadly heatwaves and floods are among the "dangerous and widespread disruptions” the world will face over the next two decades due to global warming.

  1. Many of the features of the Earth System that are being damaged or lost constitute ‘tipping points’ that could well link to form a ‘tipping cascade...’
  2. Eternal growth is not possible.
  3. Governments are failing and we need to get rid of capitalism (the top 1% own the vast majority of the world’s wealth).
  4. No new fossil fuel developments can be tolerated.
  5. The Military Industrial Complex Is More Powerful Than Ever
  6. The Global economy outlook worsens as global recession looms. -Economic Inequality.
  7. Public education is in crisis.
  8. The American political system is broken.
  9. Our food system is broken.
  10. Digital addiction is a big problem.   -Historical untruths misshaped the world.
  11. Religion is failing us and is becoming more dangerous. -  Paul Wallis
  12.  The Crisis of Meaning
  13. Extraterrestrials are here and have been for a very long time
The list above is what is happening in the phsysical world. But there is another world which is the electrical or spiritual world. Before anything exists phsysically it must first exist electrically. Physical abuse damages the electrical self while psychological damage affects the physical body.

This is how ancient structures were assembled from hundred ton stone blocks because there were and are beings who can interact with the electrical or non-physical reality. This also explains psychic ability and energy healings. Among the early humans there were those who interacted with spirits and the spiritual world.

It may be that it was passed down to some humans genetically who were intimate with extraterrestrials. But over time the genes for extra-sensory perceptions diminished ove the generations. But if two parents both have the recessive genes the offspring are more likely to be psychic or have healing abilities.

So we might think about a list that can counter the above list of problems with a list of opportunities which can be thought of as spiritual or psychological talents or gifts. In Indian religions, Siddhis (Sanskrit: सिद्धि siddhi; fulfillment, accomplishment) are material, paranormal, supernatural, or otherwise magical powers, abilities, and attainments that are the products of yogic advancement through sādhanās such as meditation and yoga. The term ṛddhi (Pali: iddhi, "psychic powers") is often used interchangeably in Buddhism. Siddhi is a Sanskrit noun which can be translated as "knowledge", "accomplishment", "attainment", or "success"

The Visuddhimagga is one of the texts to give explicit details about how spiritual masters were thought to actually manifest supernormal abilities. It states that abilities such as flying through the air, walking through solid obstructions, diving into the ground, walking on water and so forth are achieved through changing one element, such as earth, into another element, such as air. The individual must master kasina meditation before this is possible. Dipa Ma, who trained via the Visuddhimagga, claimed to have these abilities, but her claim was never independently verified.

To simplify, we might think of people who have a talent for music, art, or some other skill that other people would have to earn as a skill. According to different sources, below are the eight classical siddhis (Ashta Siddhi) or eight great perfections:
  • Aṇimā: the ability to reduce one's body to the size of an atom.
  • Mahimā: the ability to expand one's body to an infinitely large size.
  • Laghimā: the ability to become weightless or lighter than air.
  • Garimā: the ability to become heavy or dense.
  • Prāpti: the ability to realize whatever one desires.
  • Prākāmya: the ability to access any place in the world.
  • Īśitva: the ability to control all material elements or natural forces.
  • Vaśitva: the ability to force influence upon anyone
The solar flares hitting earth today are said by some that this is actually causing the molecules of our planet to vibrate faster. And our rate of vibrations of or bodies are also increasing. Understanding the 3rd dimension (from a metaphysical viewpoint) can help us grasp these concepts and differentiate between the 3rd, 4th, and 5th dimensions. Albert Einstein introduced the concept of the universe as having more than a 3D reality when he developed the theory of relativity. His theory “postulated to explain how light moves at a constant speed relative to all observers, can best be expressed in four dimensions.

Dimensions are simply the different facets of what we perceive to be reality. We are immediately aware of the three dimensions that surround us on a daily basis – those that define the length, width, and depth of all objects in our universes (the x, y, and z axes, respectively). Beyond these three visible dimensions, scientists believe that there may be many more. In fact, the theoretical framework of superstring theory posits that the universe exists in 10 different dimensions which govern the universe.”     —Jolene Creighton, Futurism

Third dimensional frequencies have a slower, denser rate of movement in the atmosphere. In these slower rates of movement are sometimes described as "low vibes" corresponding with coarse thoughts or behavior and stress. In these slower rates of movement, this is where suffering can live. This is because lower frequencies are where the energy of fear, ego and illusion reside. These states can be very difficult particularly for individuals with low self-esteem, or who are living with high levels of stress. So, in the 3rd dimension you are more likely experience a feeling of separation and powerlessness from time to time.

The fourth dimension can be accessed through mindful practices and activities such as: meditation, art, music, yoga, breathing, writing, walks in nature and more. With discipline and practices 4D frequencies help you dissolve the layers of fear so you can step into your true power. This is where you start learning to function on earth as a being of unlimited possibility. You will naturally detach from money, fame, popularity as these are all illusions held by third dimensional frequencies.

The 5th dimension is where pure unconditional love resides. You know you are in the 5th dimension when you no longer feel the need nor the desire to control or manage what is happening, it just is. Instead, you are in awe of the beauty and magic of life. The 5th dimension is like heaven on earth. The spiritual 5th Dimension (5D) is the realm of higher intelligent life forms, including most Extraterrestrials (ETs), and is often described as 'Heaven on Earth'. Being psychic simply means that you perceive more of our non-physical reality.

Some individuals may resist 5D frequencies and that is okay. We all have freewill. Yet those of us who are open to receiving 5th dimensional energy will benefit greatly.

So, Earth is transitioning to a new state of consciousness now. But its ascension will not become a fully realized experience until the proportion of 5D people reaches a point where psychic skills are normal, accessible, and commonplace. When that happens, we can expect:

  • A new paradigm for science, medicine, and education, including unlimited free electricity and access to medical care; new healing modalities that are more individually and spiritually based; alternative forms of transportation that use frequency shifts over physical movement; and new learning systems that incorporate 4D/5D technologies and skills, starting from the youngest ages.
  • A new way of relating to each other and to the rest of our world and universe, including awareness of the underlying oneness of human diversity and our natural environments; cooperation instead of competition to end wars, conflicts, and poverty; and regular communication and cooperation with 4th and 5th Dimensional beings from other planets and higher dimensions.

Atomistic Mysticism



We live in a time of profound global trends: climate destabilization, peak oil, water shortages, dying oceans, over-population and poverty, food shortages, pollution, weapons of mass destruction. These trends are interactive and represent an unparalleled systems crisis.

Never have we faced global challenges such as are upon us. So far our response has been applying more science and engineering. But there are obviously bigger questions about what is happening and our role in it all. Many are simply overwhelmed to the extent of just avoiding the issues.

Some say that the real crisis is metaphysical and of the human psyche. In one way or another human activity is at the root of this crisis. Why do we stubbornly ignore the human part of the equation? The deeper part of the problem is within ourselves: greed, selfishness and apathy. And for that we need a
cultural if not spiritual transformation.

Our best strategy for planetary and social healing is probably to become better human beings. That means finding ways to become more conscious and caring. Also it is time to end the conflict between science and spirituality, which only served the purpose of religious fundamentalists and science fundamentalists to the detriment of  everyone else Too many rules and too little forgiveness and the traditional dualistic subjective/objective mindset found in the West, and is  about separation of mind and body.

In most of the ancient or primitive cultures there has been a common thread of reverence for nature. The transition of the seasons, the moon and stars, and the larger cycles of nature, as well as our own coming into being and passing away is at the core of all human inquiry.

 Even though we have learned much about the marvelous intricacies of nature, we have only scratched the surface. What we don’t know probably surpasses by far what we understand. We are a mystery and we live in a mystery, and we know it – some of us. To have a sense of awe and wonderment, and reverence is a gift. The ultimate mysteries may be not even be knowable by humans, and our lives as humans could be only a small part of who we really are.

Day follows night, and spring follows winter and  the unfolding of life is a cycle. These are reassuringly orderly processes. Atomistic mysticism describes a way of thinking, or a kind of a posture in life that includes a deep respect the intrinsic processes of both nature and science.

Cosmology is revealing that we live in a universe that naturally evolves stars, galaxies, and planets with mountains, oceans, and even life, which may not be limited to just one planet.
Recently astronomers have learned that in just our own galaxy there are probably 100 million habitable planets.  And there are many billions of other galaxies, and trillions of planets.

We have become so used to the mechanistic view of the world that we have forgotten that it is a metaphor. We no longer think, as Descartes did, that the world is like a clock. But we seem to think it is a clock, and that nothing is real unless it can be weighed or measured. The physical world is defined by its limitations. Everything is composed of the same material, but differences in configuration, finite dimensions and measurable attributes are what distinguish one thing from another.

On the other hand,
Spinoza's ontology holds to a monism, a doctrine in which there is one substance and the world is one huge organism that regulates itself to some good end. The Spiritual world is said to be nonphysical in nature, and exists independently from matter. The Spiritual world is also said to be infinite and not subject to the constraints of linear time, death, or decay. Panpsychism is the view that mentality is fundamental and ubiquitous in the natural world.

Our senses interpret everything around us and translate it through specific vibrations. Our experience of the world is limited by what our physical senses can interpret. Science has come to understand that both atoms and thoughts are energy. Water may be in the shape of ice, liquid, or clouds, energy comes in various forms such as waves, particles, liquid, solid, or gas, light, sound, even brainwaves. The science of Quantum Physics seeks to answer the question "what is energy?" and arrives at one of the most basic facts of the Universe, that "everything is energy". And apparently energy cannot be created or destroyed.  Once you really understand that everything is energy, then you understand that there is no such thing as separation. Physics has come full circle back to metaphysics.

So if everything consists of waves of energy at its fundamental level, then this same source of energy must flow around, within and through us. The fact that this energy is all matter, space, time and biological life, which to some suggests that it also has an underlying intelligence. One interpretation of quantum mechanics suggests that matter actually came from intelligence. So it makes sense for people to refer to it as a universal mind or collective field of consciousness.  The zero point energy field may be the most compelling news of our time.

The harmonics of energy vibrations are synonymous with our perceived categories of reality  There is a  vibration continuum as particles vibrate at increasing speeds and take on a more subtle, less dense form. The range may continue beyond what we have even imagined. Our five senses allow us to perceive on a physical level only a narrow spectrum of vibrations and we have devices to extend those perceptions a bit, however beyond that is mystery.
  • Sound:  25 to 25,000 vibrations per second or cycles/hertz
  • Electricity: 1 Billion vibrations per second
  • Heat: 2 Billions vibrations per second
  • Invisible spectrum of colour (including infra-red & ultra-violet): 500 Billion vibrations per second
  • X-Rays: 2 Trillion vibrations per second
  • The frequency of visible light: from 430 trillion Hz, to 750 trillion vibrations per second.
  Our own bodies are electro-chemical batteries operating electro-mechanical structures. There in enough energy in the form of  information within living cells for them to reproduce themselves and to actually create a new human being from a few cells. And within that being is all the information needed to be whole and complete and healthy. Learning to trust and work with these organic processes is a core message of the wisdom traditions, ancient and modern.

A thermostat illustrates an analog computer in that it is either off or on. Higher brain functions resemble a digital computer by assigning intellectual values to perceptional data, and working out a logical, rational procedure. But that takes time and effort. Most of the time an immediate decision is required: approach or avoid, like or dislike, accept or reject, do or don’t. And our fast-paced industrialized world requires ever more split-second choices. When driving 60 miles per hour, your body moves 88 feet per second. Rationalizations are often simply not an option.

Intuition is perhaps our most valuable asset. Even Einstein said that choosing what you will pay attention to is what counts. Fear motivates and keeps us alert, but paying too much attention to fear leads to a tragic downward spiral. Positive thoughts engender an upward spiral toward happiness, but can also lead to fuzzy or wishful thinking. Balancing the two is essential, but  it is a skill to be honed. Intuition gathers information even from non-local sources and helps us make better choices.The more you use it, the more dependable it becomes, like any other skill. At any moment any cell can be either in the growth mode or the protection mode. The protection mode consumes the very nutrients normally used for growth and maintenance of the cells.

We are hard wired to avoid danger. Conditioned reflexes operate both at the physical and psychological levels. If you put your hand on something hot, your brain sends a signal to move the hand before you even know there is a problem. This is commonly called a “gut” reaction.

Each of us made to feel we are “not good enough” on some level. The worst atrocities stem from a separation of the human psyche into a good and a worthless portion: “they are wrong, we are right.” Even the most seemingly caring parents often inflict extreme morality on a helpless child. Without rules there is anarchy but historically, piety can be very dangerous. War is usually about piety. Principles differ from rules by trusting the individual to do the right thing. While shame and guilt are tyrannical weapons used by society to keep us in line.

The way to go from protection into growth is through the heart. Fear, hate and indifference will drag you down, cut you in half and make you a slave to a system or an “ism.” Caring, gratitude, and forgiveness will put you on an upward spiral. It isn’t rocket science; just treat others the way you want to be treated.

Either you care or you don’t, so what's it to be? Making a commitment to be more spiritual begins with being more compassionate and caring, being willing to look at things differently,  learning to trust the deep wisdom within. Recognize fear, unkindness and hate and choose something better. Start to see yourself as a kinder, gentler person and your experiences will reflect that.

In the Sanskrit doctrine of Tat tvam asi -- in other words, "Thou art that", which asserts that everything you think you are (Subjective), and everything you think you perceive (Objective), are undivided. To fully realize this lack of division is to become enlightened."

Increasingly it seems that everything is energy and it is intelligent. And this energy ivbtates, and there are patterns to this vibration. AM and FM radio are energy patterns as are light and sound. We can't see all light or hear all sounds because our bodies are constructed to detect the spectrum portions that are useful to us. We can construct devices that can detect AM, Fm, Xrays, gamma rays, and now even gravity waves, etc.

Quantum Physics indicates that two particles that are entangeled affect each other instantly even at great distances.Two studies published in 1983 demonstrated that willow trees, poplars and sugar maples can warn each other about insect attacks. Physicists are offering  Proof of Psychic Abilities and Remote Viewing. The Law of Attraction tells us that we have the ability to attract into our lives whatever we are focusing on.

The central issue seems to be: To What Will You Pay Your Attention.

So What's New about the New Age?






One of the most intriguing aspects of the new age is recent insights into human history. Another new area is the question of what reality really is. Apparently our brains are  normally only interested in informing us of just enough information for survival. Reality is much more complex than it appears to be.

We  not only have a new physics and a new biology that has revealed that nature cannot be reduced to matter. But we have a new understanding of our past that tells us life on our planet has undergone extremes which we had scarcely imagined. Apparently most of human history has yet to be explored.

During the Ice Age humans had been nomadic, following the animal herds that lived on the lush vegetation at the melting edges of glaciers. The run off water formed rivers and fertile deltas where humans learned to plant food crops, and build homes. This was the beginning of architecture, not just homes but granaries and municipal and religious buildings, roads, and cities.

Stored food had to be protected so a hierarchy evolved of protectors and administrators. A portion of the population was given power to govern and decide not only what would be allowed/disallowed, but who would own what. So that paradigm began with ownership, but as it grew and was politicized it gradually led to militarization, colonization, and exploitation of all sorts. This continued until eventually almost everything became commodified, for sale to the highest bidder.

The mind/body connection is a popular New Age topic. Perhaps this will lead to a better understanding of the mind/body disconnection which has become so chronic that we have deeply betrayed the future generations economically and environmentally.

"Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely."

The idea of "dominion over the earth" was used to justify objectification and subjugation in ways that are unsustainable if not downright immoral. Eventually as the church gained more power over governments, that power was also corrupted. About 500 years ago it was decided that science could only deal with matter, while morality was to be regulated by the church. This led to a schism or power struggle between science and religion. For a long time, science would not settle for recognition of anything beyond the material universe, while the church would not recognize secular morality.

One of the effects of religion has been to divide the human psyche into a good and a worthless portion, "we are right, they are wrong". The first part of any oppression is to dehumanize the group which is oppressed. Such  objectification is a demotion or degrading of a person or class of people, or an animal to the status of a mere object. The more it becomes acceptable to slur or demean, the easier it becomes to slaughter. Objectification begets violence, abuse, and exploitation. It is a dismissal of the intrinsic value of the objectified to justify cruelty, often towards women, wildlife, the disadvantaged, or or the enemy. The worst inhumanity invariably comes under the guise of religious bigotry.

For thousands of years, up until about 150 years ago (the time of Charles Darwin), the central theme of western thought was the noble struggle of mankind under the egress of the Divine. A God who created the universe, set it going, left, and hasn't been seen since, with the exception of rare supernatural revelations about morality, mostly prohibitions "thou shalt not." A non-interventionist creator -- who permits the universe to run itself according to natural laws, but may show up again to reward or punish those who did or did not follow his law.

After Darwin it was presumed humans were doomed by our genetics, victims of our DNA. There was a dreary tendency toward strict adherence to the physical reality and rejection of ideals. Naturalism commonly refers to the viewpoint that only laws of nature operate in the universe, and that nothing exists beyond the natural universe. Philosopher Paul Draper wrote, naturalism is "the hypothesis that the natural world is a closed system" in the sense that "nothing that is not a part of the natural world affects it."

Especially in the media, Naturalism portrays us as victims of our environments and circumstances. Instead of featuring man’s free will, naturalists emphasized the deterministic nature of human life. In other words, man's fate is dictated by factors other than his own free will. People may try to do better, but they are small and ineffectual compared with the natural environment. The universe, indifferent to the state of humankind, will go on regardless of what humans do. Seen as deeply impacted by hereditary and environmental factors, people became tragic characters, victims of circumstance.

Such alienation can be seen as the result of a long history of Dualism, which is the moral or spiritual belief that two fundamental concepts exist, which oppose each other. Dualistic cosmology is the polarized religious belief that the universe is created or governed by two deities or spiritual forces. Dualism as a philosophy is a materialistic set of mechanistic, linear views about the relationship between mind and matter as defined by Issac Newton. Nondualism is a term used to denote affinity, or unity, rather than duality or separateness or multiplicity.

The next paradigm seems to be some version of  Nondualism. The old scientific paradigm would have us believe that whatever isn't measurable or somehow quantified, isn't real. Only very recently physics and metaphysics have come full circle and embraced each other. New Age describes a movement in western culture to explore spiritual matters without the constrains of any set religious doctrine.

The Winter Solstice date of December 21, 2012 is a rare event. In astronomic terms, the Sun conjuncts the intersection of the Milky Way and the plane of the ecliptic. The Milky Way, extends in a general north-south direction in the night sky. The plane of the ecliptic is the track the Sun, Moon, planets and stars appear to travel in the sky, from east to west.

"The cosmic cross formed by the intersecting Milky Way and plane of the ecliptic was called the Sacred Tree by the Maya. The trunk of the tree, the Axis Mundi, is the Milky Way, and the main branch intersecting the tree is the plane of the ecliptic. Mystically, at sunrise on December 21, 2012, the Sun - our Father - rises to conjoin the center of the Sacred Tree, the World Tree, the Tree of Life... The Sun has not conjoined the Milky Way and the plane of the ecliptic since some 25,800 years ago.

Due to a phenomenon called the precession of the equinoxes, caused by the Earth's wobble that lasts almost 26,000 years, the apparent location of the Winter Solstice sunrise has been ever so slowly moving toward the Galactic Center. Precession may be understood by watching a spinning top. Over many revolutions the top will rise and dip on its axis, not unlike how the Earth does over an extremely long period of time. One complete rise and dip constitutes the cycle of precession.

... By using an invention called the Long Count, the Mayans fast-forwarded to anchor December 21, 2012 as the end of their Great Cycle and then counted backwards to decide where the calendar would begin.... The Great Cycle, lasting 1,872,000 days and equivalent to 5,125.36 years, is but one fifth of the Great Great Cycle, known scientifically as the Great Year or the Platonic Year - the length of the precession of the equinoxes. To use a metaphor from the modern industrial world, on Winter Solstice CE (Common Era) 2012 it is as if the Giant Odometer of Humanity on Earth hits 100,000 miles and all the cycles big and small turn over to begin anew. The present world age will end and a new world age will begin.

Over a year's time the Sun transits through the twelve houses of the zodiac....Upping the scale to the Platonic Year - the 26,000 year long cycle - we are shifting, astrologically, from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. The Mayan calendar does not really "end" in 2012, but rather, all the cycles turn over and start again, vibrating to a new era. It is as if humanity and the Earth will graduate in the eyes of the Father Sun and Grandmother Milky Way."


Knowledge is not wisdom. In spite of, and maybe even partly because of the astronomical acumen of the Maya, they apparently conquered, enslaved and abused so many people that a huge revolt wiped them out. So there was simply no one left to continue their calendar. Abuse of power led to greed and hubris.

It has been almost 100 years since these idea that All Matter is Energy was first put forward by Einstein and others. And since this has become accepted as fact by scientists world-wide, more evidence of validity is also apparent from studies of quanta and objects in far distant space. In The Tao of Physics (1975 Fritjof Capra), represented a rejection of the world as machine, and went back to the notion of an organic, living, and spiritual universe.

Carl Jung predicted long ago that someday quantum physics and psychology would come together. This integration is a fascinating aspect of the paradigm shift in science right now. In her book, The Intention Experiment, Lynne McTaggart discusses research in the field of human consciousness, which she says supports the theory that "the universe is connected by a vast quantum energy field" and can be influenced by thought.  Science as a whole can no longer neglect such things as parapsychology, meditation, and holistic medicine. Intuition or "spiritual guidance" is now seen as more common guide to enlightenment and growth than, say, rationalism, skepticism, or a scientific method.

So Jung introduced a new level of subtlety. And in  a similar way New Age energies is yet another level of subtleties. Apparently many other worlds exist besides this one, invisible to us but real. We seem to be hearing that modern research is leading to a new world view that unites physical science with psychology, philosophy, and religion -- a new model of the universe. People are discussing ideas like holistic mind-body interaction, the beginning of the universe, and of life, and quantum physics. Biologist, Bruce Lipton is known for promoting the idea that genes and DNA can be manipulated by a person's beliefs.

Quantum mechanics gives us a picture of the world that has changed our perspective on reality itself, raising profound questions about concepts such as cause and effect, measurement of time and space. Two quantum particles can interact at a distance in a way that seems almost telepathic and even in the complete vacuum of empty space, there is still a vast amount of energy.

Both the quantum world and the metaphysical world can be understood as one unity if we adopt a new point of view about a multidimensional model of the universe, based on recent developments in physics and biology. We cannot see the multidimensional reality because our senses are limited to three dimensions, yet the higher dimensional environment may be a more substantial reality than our world -- if our three-dimensional world is only a subset of the multidimensional system.

As an interrelated set of holistic principles is developed, and the multidimensional world is then explored with this holistic logic system, we look for plausible answers to many unresolved questions, such as the mind-body interaction, the inner structure of the human psyche, the true nature of life, and the creative nature of evolution.

It is apparent that things are quickly changing in very profound ways and some things seem to be falling apart while scientists sit and discuss abstractions. That which is unsustainable must fail, along with the institutions supporting it.

A stellium of 7 planets in Aquarius in February 2021 marks a global energy shift fron 3D consciousness into 5D consciousness. 3D consciousness is viewing things from a purely physical state. You are seen as an individual that is separate from others. Life feels like “the survival of the fittest” and you are identified by the way you look, the job you have, and the people you surround yourself with. Living in fear is about missing out or not having enough.

In 5D, we experience an intense feeling of oneness and connection. 5D consciousness does not think about the physicality or duality or matter but rather talks and understands things happening to connect itself with its ultimate purpose. In the 5-D world, intuitive knowing is the way to operate. A natural by-product of awakening in higher frequencies is a strong intuition, this is the dimension of light and unconditional love, spiritual awakening process.

Spiritual Awakening






It is well-documented that people’s view of the world —no matter how strongly believed—may well be contrary to the facts, even contrary to physical law. All of these aspects of mind can be manipulated by experts, and by others. Religion is the oldest form of control. Religions of all sorts have been used for millennia to justify war and genocide in the name of god.

A “spiritual awakening” is a shift in perception. If your previous sense of self, or your individuality, had been one of separation from others and “the survival of the fittest,” there may be a deep desire for a sense of peace and oneness and connection.

So a spiritual awakening is, generally speaking, a newfound awareness of a unative consciousness or higher level of reality. A spiritual awakening can be gradual or rapid, and it can mean different things to different people.

Sometimes a life-change, paradigm-shifting event jolts you into a new level of awareness. It may be triggered by traumatic life events, and often happen at the most unexpected times, but one thing you should know, they will usually happen when you need them most.
 
However, it is not necessary to wait for something drastic to happen in our lives until we learn to shift our consciousness and become more spiritually awakened and aware. Alternatively, a series of gentler, minor awakenings may occur until you are fully awake and aware. Sometimes spiritual awakening is a slow, gradual process that happens when a person understands that their existence goes beyond the confines of the "I" or the ego.

Also, we can shift our consciousness deliberately. By practicing mindfulness meditation for spiritual awakening, we learn to be more present in any moment. Being mindful and fully aware of what is going on around us, is a spiritual awakening process that takes some practice. However, as we learn to stay in the present moment on a regular basis, this spiritual awakening experience will eventually lead us to a higher level of consciousness and a permanent state of spiritual enlightenment.

When you turn on a radio or TV you can tune in loud, raucous, harsh or violent programs or soothing uplifting serenity. A central issue in life is to what will you pay your attention? Your attention determines the experiences you have, and the experiences you have determine the life you live. Or said another way: you must control your attention to control your life. A central part of spiritual awakening is about a consciousness upgrade.  Attention shapes the brain, whatever we focus upon actually wires our neurons. What captures your attention controls your life.

Some of the most inspiring, informative, and deeply compelling experiences are associated with death or impending death (NDE) which researchers claim share similar characteristics including detachment from the body, feelings of levitation, total serenity, security, warmth, the experience of absolute dissolution, and the presence of a light.

Mindfulness is another approach. Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, through a gentle, nurturing lens. Mindfulness is "maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, through a gentle, nurturing lens.”

To take that definition a bit further, mindfulness requires a nonjudgmental acknowledgement and acceptance of our thoughts and feelings; acknowledging our feelings but judging them (e.g., providing a value judgment like “I shouldn’t be thinking that” or “That’s a bad thought to have”) would not qualify as practicing mindfulness.

It suggests that our human existence is one of spiritual unconsciousness and encourages us to "wake up' to an existence of spiritual consciousness." This awakening occurs when, for whatever reason, the ego somehow let's go so that a Higher Self or Spirit can arise within. It suggests that our human existence is one of spiritual consciousness.

There is a series on Amazon titled SPIRITUAL AWAKENING.  This is an overview and explanation of the spirit world.  Each of the four episodes is a different documentary about Religion and Science and eastern philosophy. You will surely find something useful in this documentary film.

Sooner or later we are confronted with the fact, that there seem to be more dimensions than the one reality we are living in and that we know so well. Many people say that we (individually and as a planet) are “awakening” or “waking up” from the 3rd to the 4th or 5th Dimension.

Ordinary 3D consciousness is viewing things from a purely physical state. You are seen as an individual that is separate from others. Life feels like “the survival of the fittest” and you are identified by the way you look, the job you have. Things are perceived as being good or bad and life is a competition.

4D consciousness begins to awaken to the idea that we are all connected and that there is more to life than what meets the eye.

Thoughts are powerful and can shift the way reality is perceived. Duality and the idea of good and bad is still experienced, but there is more compassion and understanding behind it.
There is an opening to the importance of diet, meditation and leading a healthy lifestyle.

Once you reach a 5D state of consciousness life becomes an adventure of growth and there is no such thing as good or bad. There is a higher purpose for all things and every experience holds meaning.

There are stronger feelings of love and connectedness with others, the planet and even the galaxies around us. Love and compassion reign supreme and there is a lack of judgement. You understand that everyone is just on their own journey.

Everyone is considered to be equal and there is a desire to live from a place of pure authenticity. You understand that your purpose is to live your truth. Once you reach a 5D state of consciousness, it is very difficult to go back to a 3D state.

SUMMARY
"The process of Ascension merges you to a pure and divine source of pure energy. It uncovers your potentials and reminds you that you are capable of doing and achieving much more.

The term spiritual Ascension means a magical awakening of your soul into a higher level of consciousness. It is a vibration frequency that generates positive energy and light. It unleashes your innate powers and wisdom. The ascension is an evolutionary process that is multi-dimensional and confusing.

It is an inner rebirth and expansion of your mind, body, and spirit. You learn to shed off your old thought patterns, negative beliefs, mindset, and feelings. You experience a new being hidden and dwelling within you. Upgrading the awakening process denotes a better understanding of you.

Ascension is not about becoming a superhuman. Rather it is a mere process to define your priorities in life. You let go of your human urges and worldly desires. It helps you to move towards spiritual goals and ascend to a higher realm of spiritual connection. Ascension is an experience that gives freedom to your soul. Soul frees itself from earthly ties and realizes the true joy of life.

Does the process discover what life really is? Your mental awakening motivates and inspires you to bring desired changes in your life that you have long craved for. It is like getting up from a dream and realizing the supreme power that lies within us. Ascension has immense power to unleash positive energies of growth and progress. You become strong and free-willed to define your destiny and carve it the way you want."

Welcome



An Open Mind Is A Precious Gift

Of all the ways people today are polarized the standoff between science and religion stands out.

Science is a a fact-based or a faith-based ways of thinking and explaining the world. Science seeks to explains all of the interior dimensions of human experience through physical and chemical processes of the brain.

Spirituality means different things to different people. For some, it's primarily about a belief in God and active participation in organized religion. For others, it's about non-religious experiences that help them get in touch with something bigger than ourselves, such as nature, compassion, empathy, generosity.

Science and Spirituality can be agents for personal development and for controversy as well. Existential crisis, or dread, is about moments when we question whether their lives have meaning, purpose, or valuue.

"The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both."   -Carl Sagan

Our latest psychology will likely include a third category onto the mix. Stoicism, which is school of Hellenistic philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens in the early 3rd century BC. According to the stoics some things can be changed and some cannot, especially our brains. But recent neuroscience tells us otherwise.

A Dynamic Unity of Reality might describe reality from only one substance. As Aristotle explains, Metaphysics is the study of the One Substance (and its Properties) which exists and causes / connects all things, and is therefore the necessary foundation for all human knowledge. Aristotle's philosophy became official chirch dogma in the middle ages.

Despite several thousand years of failure to correctly understand physical reality (hence the current postmodern view that this is impossible) there may be a solution. If we can unite Science with Metaphysics.   '

Reality cannot be found except in One single source, because of the interconnection of all things with one another.' - Leibniz

The study of human consciousness has seen profoundly important discoveries emerge in the past couple of decades. Old science tells us that we are mechanical systems governed, fundamentally, entirely by impersonal laws. But now we are coming to a new understanding that we actually create our reality moment to moment. Noted physicists and mathematicians, as well as psychiatrists and neuro-physiologists, are now supporting this opinion.

According to panpsychism consciousness pervades the universe and is a fundamental feature of it. Apparently the universe is connected by a vast quantum energy field. Traditionally the universe is the expression of a universal mind that transcends personal awareness. A drop of rain falling into the ocean loses its it individuality and once again IS the ocean. The statement that mind is everything is a similar analogy. A profound understanding of this opens a doorway to deeper inner spiritual alchemy.

Physical reality can be described in terms of Space, a Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) where the electron is a spherical standing wave. It is easy to show that the Wave Structure of Matter is the correct solution as it deduces the laws of Nature (the fundamentals of Physics & Philosophy). While the Wave Structure of Matter is obvious once known, to begin it will seem strange simply because it takes time for our minds to adjust to new knowledge.

Harmony arises from a Wave Structure of Matter in Space (we are all interconnected in this space that we all commonly experience). This unity of reality (God, Brahman, Tao, Spirit, Energy, Light, Vibration) is central to all major world religions, thus their common moral foundation of 'Do unto others as to thyself' as the other is part of the self. Yet we continue to be our own worst enemy.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world".   (Mohandas Gandhi)

Clearly our world is in great trouble due to human overpopulation and the resultant destruction of Nature, climate change and the pollution of air, land and water. The best solution to these problems is to found our societies on truth and reality rather than past myths and customs (which invariably cause harm).

Our perception of the world is influenced by our expectations. These expectations, also called "prior beliefs," help us make sense of what we are perceiving in the present, based on similar past experiences. Our negative core beliefs drive our dysfunctional immediate beliefs in the forms of attitudes and rules.

A desire for identity consistency may help explain why we can be so uncomfortable engaging with opinions that challenge our beliefs. The human instinct to survive is our most powerful drive. There are many examples of hard-wired human instincts that help keep us alive. Perhaps the most obvious case is the fight-or-flight response.

But people's inner monsters come in various forms, some more recognizable than others, and that we are all one random encounter away from tragedy. Only recently have we learned that our brains and minds are so full of flaws and cognitive quirks that reward survival more than knowing truth.
“For some of our most important beliefs, we have no evidence at all, except that people we love and trust hold these beliefs. Considering how little we know, the confidence we have in our beliefs is preposterous—and it is also essential.”
2002 Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman
The internet is clearly a very good way to get new knowledge visible to the world, a world now in great need of wisdom from truth and reality.  It is our purpose here to editorialize internet content to call attention to new and helpful information in order to gain a better overview.

During The Renaissance the size of the known world tripled. During the past few decades astronomers have discovered that there are likely trillions of galaxies and almost an uncountable number of planets. It remains to be seen how this may affect who we really are.

If you have or want a study/discussion group I can provide many media files and Texts, mostly taken from the internet.     aldoran@mail.com

Religion and Spirituality






There is much talk about deconstructing religion in light of recent discoveries of the nature of organized religion. The Internet often presents only two choices: Christian or Atheist. Unfortunately, most people also assume that spirituality and religion are one and the same, but this assumption is wrong.

R
eligion generally refers to organized systems of beliefs, rituals, and practices around a deity or deities, with an established community of followers.
Religion presents you a set of beliefs, dogmas and "holy men" as intermediaries between you and "God."
The history of religion refers to the written record of human religious feelings, thoughts, and ideas. This period of religious history probably begins with the invention of writing about ~5,200 years ago. The prehistory of religion involves the study of religious beliefs that existed prior to the advent of written records.

Four religions— Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism —account for over 77% of the world's population, and 92% of the world either follows one of those four religions or identifies as nonreligious, meaning that the remaining 9,000+ faiths account for only 8% of the population combined. Only a few decades ago, a Christian identity was so common among Americans that it could almost be taken for granted. As recently as the early 1990s, about 90% of U.S. adults identified as Christians but religion has experienced a sudden decline. However this seems to be a way of clearing out the old to make room for a new perspective, a whole new paradigm.

Religions are supposed to be all about faith and spirituality. However, religion is much like any other organization that has leadership, and has income and expenses like a business. In fact, there’s a lot of money that goes through religious hands, and it isn't necessarily used for charity. The European monarchs all embody the power struggle between church and state over who holds the supreme authority in the physical world.

YouTube and the Internet in general has become a veritable smorgasburd of spiritual ideas. Dr. Robert Gilbert tells us that
this is part of an era of the expansion of esoteric knowledge and consciousness.  The most popular "New Age" theme is about using your mind to alter physical reality. But there is a sinister side to this that you may not be aware of. Artificial intelligence is no longer a far-fetched idea out of a sci-fi movie. We're living with it, here and now. A scammer could rent AI to use artificial intelligence to mimic anybody saying anything.

There is an increasing number of websites where anybody with a computer and the credit card can gain access to very powerful softwares that will
clone the voice and images of  anyone to say anything and make it seem believable. These
cybercriminals are not just taking advantage of people to steal money, but also to represent themselves as gurus or spiritual adepts or prophets qualified to give spiritual advice. There are many such sites on YouTube. Sme AI creations have helped illustrate truth, but Internet discretion is in order.

Over the centuries, the relationship between science and religion has also seen conflict and hostility. But there are recent indications of collaboration. In philosophy of mind, the hard problem of consciousness is to explain why and how humans and other organisms have qualia, phenomenal consciousness, or subjective experiences. The science of "vibes" shows how everything is connected. The "resonance theory of consciousness"  posits that synchronized vibrations are central not only to human consciousness but to all of physical reality. All is energy in vibration.

Spirituality is the belief in something beyond the self that connects all beings to each other and the universe. In a way, this reminds us of household spirits to land, forest, and water spirits, which were a very real part of the daily lives of our ancestors. Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice found in cultures around the world from ancient times up to the present day. It involves a practitioner (shaman or saman) interacting with the spirit world through altered states of consciousness, such as trance. The goal of this is usually to direct spirits or spiritual energies into the physical world for the purpose of healing, divination, or to aid human beings in some other way. Beliefs and practices categorized as "shamanic" have attracted the interest of scholars from a variety of disciplines, including anthropologists, archeologists, historians, religious studies scholars, philosophers and psychologists.

Spiritualism is a belief system or practice that revolves around the idea of communicating with the spirits. It often involves mediums or psychics who claim to connect with the spirit world. Spirituality encompasses a consciousness-based vision of the world that supports all human beings on their path to awakening in unconditional love and kindness. Spirituality is concerned with the present, while religion deals with the future.

Quantum mechanics may actually strengthen the connection to the divine. A 2004 hybrid film and documentary, What the Bleep Do We Know!? seeks to explain the connections between science and spirituality. The film that explores the connection between quantum physics and consciousness through visual effects, story-telling and interviews with experts. It was a radical departure from convention.


Gamma waves are associated with large-scale coordinated activities like perception, meditation or focused consciousness; beta with maximum brain activity or arousal; and theta with relaxation or daydreaming. These three wave types work together to produce, or at least facilitate, various types of human consciousness, according to Pascal Fries. But the exact relationship between electrical brain waves and consciousness is still very much up for debate.


People in the spiritual community talk a lot about keeping a super high vibration, but what does that really mean? Everyone’s vibration is different, and everyone has a different vibration. High vibration is a thought form. Kindness is a light thought form that can go clear across the universe faster than the speed of light. That is high vibrational energy. A low vibrational energy is a thought that cannot even make it out of the Earth’s energy, such as anger, hatred, or resentment. We use these negative vibrations to keep us grounded on the planet.

Spiritual guides tell us that you have an incredible power inside of you, and you CHOSE to incarnate here and now. If you had a very high vibration, you would actually leave the planet and no longer want to be here anymore.We need to understand that we can reach the highest levels of vibrations and still stay on and help the planet. spiritually importantpeople.                                                                            
Right now there are a lot of people in crisis; our planet is in crisis. A soul always gets to choose whether it will incarnate or not. We are not sent here against our will. All souls are then free to exist in the ether or they can choose to incarnate as humans on earth (or perhaps other beings on other planets.


There are apparently two trillion galaxies in the latest estimate for the number of galaxies in just the observable universe. Each is made up of many stars and  planets and most are much older than our own galaxy. So the idea of humans being the most evolved beings is not realistic. Human technological civilisation only dates back millennia (at most). Just imagine what it might be in a million years or more.

If there are 100 billion suitable planets in our galaxy, if the origin of life is highly probable, if there are billions of years of evolution available on each such planet and if even a small fraction of technical civilizations pass safely through the early stages of technological adolescence, magic and religion

Arthur C. Clarke codified this idea that "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Belief in magic exists in all societies, regardless of whether they have organized religious hierarchy including formal clergy or more informal systems. While such concepts appear more frequently in cultures based in polytheism,
animism, or shamanism. Religion and magic became conceptually separated in the West where the distinction arose between supernatural events sanctioned by approved religious doctrine versus magic rooted in other religious sources. With the rise of Christianity this became characterized with the contrast between divine miracles versus folk religion, superstition, or occult speculation.

The multiverse is the hypothetical set of all universes. Together, these universes are presumed to comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information, and the physical laws and constants that describe them. Several versions of a generic "multiverse" concept appear in physics.

"All is one" seems to be a state of mind obtainable after extensive meditation of ingestion of hallucinogens may apparently broaden consciousness extensively. Near death experiences frequently have the same result. Often people express this in terms of a transcendent reality beyond mere physical experiences.

On the Internet there are many spiritual people, psychics or people who have psychic or Near Death experiences that are apparently "trancendent" of ordinarily reality. The law of attraction is a philosophy suggesting that positive thoughts bring positive results into a person's life, while negative thoughts bring negative outcomes. It is based on the belief that thoughts are a form of energy and that positive energy attracts success in all areas of life, including health, finances, and relationships.

At death there’s a break in our linear stream of consciousness, and thus a break in the linear connection of times and places, but biocentrism suggests that consciousness is manifold and encompasses many such branches of possibility. Death doesn’t truly exist in any of these; all branches exist simultaneously and continue existing regardless of what happens in any of them. The “me” feeling is energy operating in the brain. But energy never dies; it cannot be destroyed.

5D is a term that is becoming a popular way of describing the shift that is taking place within our consciousness as individuals and as a collective consciousness. There are a few different perspectives on what is 5D, ranging from a physics-based explanation of dimensions to some people who regard the shift to 5D as a specific big event or moment in time that we will go through as a collective.

So it seems that we have uncountable planets in space and uncountable vibrational levels. Is one more real that the other? Or do they correspond so that physical reality is derivative or representative of energy patterns? Recent proof that neither space or time is real, but are energy patterns of vibration, then it may well be that God is not a human-like figure or any creature at all but rather the summation of all vibrations, universes, and everything -- which would be well beyond the comprehension of our brain. Reality is much more than any simulation or computerized program. There is no word in our language for that entity.

The concept of existence is directly related to levels of consciousness.... Our everyday experience is related to the physical realm, where our eyes and mind convince us of the undeniable reality of the material world.. Our physical consciousness is closely connected with this world, and being identified with it, it may seem that this is the only realm that exists. Our physical mind is focused on events and objects in the external physical world. It sees and knows nothing except them and does not go beyond their physical nature. However, there are also many other worlds (or planes of existence), invisible to our physical senses and incomprehensible to our physical consciousness.

Spirition

So what it all boils down to is the question: what will you do to manage your consciousness? A lot of negativity is thrown at us every day,just in the media alone. We all encounter bumps in our road.. So will you raise your vibrations from negative to something more worthwhile? And how will we choose to go about
it?
