Multidimensional Consciousness
In our normal waking life we concern ourselves mostly with the physical plane of existence. We lug our physical bodies around, take them to work, feed them, clothe them and so forth. To most people, the physical or third dimensional plane of existence is the only sphere of existence known to them. In actual fact, our third dimensional world is but a small snippet of the larger picture which is reality.
Various numbers of planes are referred to in esoteric literature, often up to seven, but to keep things really simple we can say that there are three bands of reality: 1) Physical 2) Astral 3) Spiritual
The Physical plane is the visible, solid manifestation, and the exerted effort and emotion connected with it.
The Astral plane is non-physical. It can be thought of as the template for what is manifested in the physical. But it is also a realm in itself that one can operate and exist within.
The Spiritual plane is beyond a need for form and looks much less like the physical world than the astral does. Each of these major planes can again be divided up, as mentioned.
Dimensional Realities First dimensional consciousness is awareness as a point. The consciousness that resonates to this dimension is the mineral kingdom. Current third dimensional science has not proven that minerals have any awareness as we recognize it, but healers and shaman have been using crystals as healing tools for many centuries. Humans' first dimensional consciousness is "unconscious" to our five physical senses.
However, the first dimension is a portion of our bodies and represents the minerals, water, and genetic codes that are the foundation of our physical forms. If we could access this level of our unconscious, we could connect with the entire physical world via its most basic common denominator - the individual molecules. Perhaps we could even consciously access our own genetic coding.
Second dimensional consciousness is awareness as point and line. The consciousness that resonates to this dimension is biological matter such as the plant kingdom and the lower animal kingdom. The consciousness of this dimension does not possess self-awareness. These beings are only conscious of their species' identity and their need for feeding, fighting, and procreation. Their consciousness is based upon survival of the fittest and they live solely within the awareness of the moment. Third dimensional consciousness is awareness of point, line, length, breadth, height, and volume. The primary consciousness of this dimension is the higher animal kingdom and the human kingdom.
The humanoid form is composed of all the elements of the first and second dimensional being - water, minerals, genetic coding, and biological matter - as well as an individual soul. It is the individual soul that distinguishes humans from the other members of the animal kingdom who mostly have a group soul.
The third dimension is locked in a time/space and cause/effect paradigm. This dimension is a schoolroom that our Souls attend by inhabiting humanoid physical bodies to learn more about creation. In the third dimension, life mirrors all that we are seeking to understand. Therefore, the process of creating via our thoughts and feelings is slowed down so that we can track the circumstances of what we hold in our consciousness. Awareness of our spiritual self can only be remembered when we have expanded our consciousness to encompass the higher dimensions. Then we can release our dependency upon others and heal our sense of powerlessness and victimization. We then become independent in a new sense because we have realized that we, and we alone, are creating our reality.
Fourth dimensional consciousness is awareness of point, length, breadth, height, volume, and time. The fourth dimension is also known as the astral plane and the primary consciousness of this dimension is the astral body, which is also known as the "higher human". The astral body is of a higher vibration than the physical body and is in a form that is known as etheric. The astral plane and astral bodies are an octave jump up in resonant frequency from the third dimension and the perception of past, present, and future becomes more fluid as the third dimensional laws of time and space are changed. On the fourth dimension, we can reintegrate our group identity without the loss of our personal ego and it is the last vibration where physical vehicles are used to contain individual consciousness. The fourth dimension is the realm of the unconscious mind. Our unconscious mind holds the awareness of our body's first and second dimensional components as well as all our past experiences of this life and all other third dimensional lives. It is the realm of dream life. When we are "asleep", we are unconscious in the third dimension, but we are conscious in the fourth dimension.
Our fourth dimensional astral bodies possess advanced psychic ability, intuition, magic, and creativity. As we expand our mind to be conscious of our unconscious mind, we can experience more and more of these qualities while in our physical form. Our astral body does exist and its highest vibration is our spiritual guidance. Much like a person upon a mountaintop can observe and guide the residents of the valley below, our higher astral self can observe us upon the third dimension and give us guidance. There are different planes of consciousness in the fourth. The lower Astral plane holds the invisible emanations of all the fear and negativity that is projected into it from the physical plane. The lower Astral has been known as Hell. Fourth dimensional consciousness feeds into and extends from third dimensional emotions and is often known as the "realm of emotion". The lower astral, which holds the third dimension's negative emotions, is not a pleasant experience and a path must be forged through it into the higher sub-planes. We can travel in our fourth dimensional consciousness (or fourth dimensional bodies) into the Emotional and Mental Planes to learn mastery of our emotions and thoughts.
Upon the Causal Plane (which is also known as the Higher Mental Plane) we can learn the cause and effect of how thoughts and feelings create our world. The fourth dimension creates a bridge into the higher dimensions. The base of the bridge is where the physical and astral body overlap. This area is known as the etheric body. The etheric body is of a vibration between the third and fourth dimension.
The etheric body encompasses the physical body and extends beyond it a few inches. Each of the sub-planes of the Astral Plane has a correlate body. Each of these astral bodies is of a higher vibration than the latter. For example, the emotional body is higher in vibration than the etheric body and extends beyond it. Overlaid on the emotional body is the mental body, which is also of higher vibration, and extends beyond the emotional body. Then the causal body, again another increase in vibration, overlays the other bodies and extends beyond them. The final astral body is the spiritual body, which is the highest in vibration and extends beyond all the other bodies.
However, all the astral bodies exist over, under, around, and through the physical body, but they cannot be seen by our five physical senses. If we can perceive the fourth dimension consciously, we can expand our awareness enough to cross that bridge into our superconscious mind of the fifth dimension.
Fifth dimensional consciousness is awareness of length, breadth, height, time, and spirit. All life upon the fifth dimension lives in Unity Consciousness, but there is still an experience of "I" as an individual member of the group. Linear time and space do not bind consciousness here and there is NO illusion of separation or limitation. Instead, there is a constant experience of the Oneness of All That Is. The primary consciousness of this dimension is androgynous stellar beings living in Lightbodies. These Lightbodies are silicone based rather than carbon based like our physical bodies. Our Lightbodies have the awareness of our lower selves without the physical limitations. These forms have no need for pain to learn their lessons so they do not need the protection and warning signals of the physical body.
Our fifth dimensional selves have integrated the lessons that their lower dimensional selves are learning through the experiences of "Schoolroom Earth" and do not need physical suffering to learn. All actions on this plane are based upon love because, just as a dead leaf cannot survive the higher vibration of a fire, fear cannot survive the higher vibration of the fifth dimension. It is only within the consciousness of Unconditional Love that we can maintain a conscious connection with our fifth dimensional selves. On the fifth dimension, experience, creation, and travel are created in harmony with the Divine Will of All That Is. Every being, place, situation, or location that is desired becomes instantly manifest. If we choose the experience of movement, it feels like a combination of flying and treading water. Our Lightbodies, like our astral bodies, are mutable and can easily change form. Just as we can change our location or experience with our desire, we can also change the form of the "body" that surrounds our consciousness. Within the fifth dimension we remain aware of the fourth and third dimensions. Since there is no sense of separation, we can experience our third and fourth dimensional realities within the same moment that we are experiencing our fifth dimensional Lightbody.
On the fifth dimension we live in Unconditional Love, Unconditional Forgiveness, and Unconditional Acceptance. We hold no judgement, guilt, or negativity towards the "lower" portions of ourselves that are striving to remember our "Higher Selves". In fact, our fifth dimensional self serves as a guide to the lower aspects of our consciousness and to others as well.
There is also a threshold in the Fifth Dimension upon which we wait for our Divine Complement. Our Divine Complement, also known as our Twin Flame, is the opposite polarity of our integrated male/female androgynous Lightbody that was split off from us when we took embodiment in the dimensions. Only upon raising our consciousness to the higher vibrations of the fifth dimension are we able to merge with our Twin Flame.
The Physical Earth-ship
Our physical body is our earth-ship and the vessel in which our Soul visits earth. Our earth-ship is made up of the same elements as the planet. This ship is biological and all steering and controls are connected to our consciousness via our nervous system. We have made many visits to third and fourth dimensional earth. The memories of these adventures are stored in the hard drive along with all the steering and control mechanisms. This hard drive is located in the first and second dimensional elements of the body and the part of us that can access this information is our fourth dimensional astral bodies. If we can learn to "consciously" communicate with our astral body, we can download that information into our third dimensional physical brains. We must find a way to interface between the vessel (physical body), the pilot (the ego), and the higher dimensional forces that can communicate across all frequencies (the Soul). When this interface has been completed, the Soul can inhabit the earth-vessel and pilot its return Home. In order for this journey to be successful, our Soul must totally imbed itself in and integrate with our physical earth-ship. Since our Soul is multidimensional, it can access all the messages that are received by and stored in the first, second and fourth dimensional unconscious. The Soul can then "download" that information into our third dimensional consciousness.
First the pilot (our egos) will have to completely surrender all "control" to our Souls because our limited third dimensional consciousness is incapable of perceiving the myriad of messages that are necessary to complete our journey. All reality below the fifth dimension is programmed for separation, limitation, and polarity. The only way to consciously pilot our vessel into the fifth dimensions is to allow our Soul to enter into and captain our vessel.
The Dimensional Filters or Portals
The only route of return our ego knows is "death". Death is a form of separation, just like birth. When we are "born", our Soul allows a portion of itself to go through the frequency filter that holds our galaxy in the third dimension. This frequency filter allows only first, second, third and fourth dimensional molecules to pass through. The fourth dimensional portion of ourselves interfaces with the fifth dimension via our Soul and it interfaces with the third dimensional portion of ourselves via our etheric body.
THE ETHERIC BODY
The etheric body, also known as the etheric double, is the vehicle through which flows the stream of vitality that keeps our physical bodies alive. To clairvoyant vision, the etheric double is a faintly luminous violet-gray mist that interpenetrates and slightly extends beyond the physical body about 1/4 of an inch (7 millimetres). The etheric double is not separate from the physical body nor does it have a separate consciousness. The etheric body solely receives and distributes the vital forces which emanate from the Sun and distributes them to the physical body via the chakra system. Every solid, liquid, and gaseous particle of the body is surrounded with an etheric envelope. Like the physical body, the etheric body ages, decays, dies and releases the Soul. The etheric body has two functions. One function is to absorb prana or chi and distribute it to the physical body. The other function is to act as a bridge between the physical and astral body. Prana is a Sanskrit word which means, "to breathe".
PRANA Prana, which emanates from the Sun, enters the physical atoms that float about the earth's atmosphere. Prana is the force that interfaces with the third and fourth dimensions. Prana forms into vitality globules that cause physical atoms to glow when it enters them. The combination of balanced feelings and clear thinking causes a reaction in the body that allows it to assimilate even more prana. Prana is known as the force of vitality and the "life breath" of an organism. Prana allows the astral body to communicate with the physical body by means of the etheric double or sheath. Through the etheric sheath, the prana runs along the nerves of the physical body amplifying its perception by uniting the fourth dimensional astral world with the third dimensional physical world. Prana enters our etheric body, and eventually our physical body, through the chakras.
OUR NEW WORLD
How will it feel when we hold all polarities within our form? How will it feel when we are both male and female, together in an androgynous Light body? If we can IMAGINE how it will feel, if we can REMEMBER how it has felt, it will hasten our transformation. However, in order to remember the feeling of our true multidimensional selves, we will also have to rewrite the old mental programs of limitation and separation. We created these programs during our many third dimensional lives. These programs will not allow us to believe that we deserve the light that has come into our bodies. This type of thinking prevent us from using the light to create the life that we desire. Therefore, we must journey into our deep unconscious. We must enter the murky pool of repressed pain and fear to rescue those portions of ourselves that have become trapped there. These are the defective mental programs and emotional beliefs were learned a long time ago when we were children. Programs that once protected us have now become limitations. We are ready to rewrite or release them.
When these old programs were created, we did not have the power to deal with the situations at hand. We had to create a defense mechanism so that we could protect ourselves enough to survive a situation that was beyond our control. However, we now know that these defense mechanisms were like training wheels, which allowed us to get by until we could learn to ride through life without them. Happy experiences and memories are of a higher vibration because they are filled with love and can float on the surface of our consciousness. Our unhappy experiences and memories are of a lower vibration because they are filled with fear. These fearful memories and experiences sink to the lower depths of our unconscious, our lower astral plane. Just as the bottom of a pond is murky and obscured so is our deepest unconscious. To clear our old feelings of fear, guilt and shame we must enter the water of our unconscious to rescue these portions of our psyche that are trapped there.
