Channeling #11 - part 2 - Why Challenges Arise, especially at Christmas, and How to Deal with Them; and Awakening


[The second half of this channeling from Joshua was mostly personal information, although the following edited excerpts from that is of more general application.]


Dealing with Challenges that Arise, especially at Christmas
  
I [Joshua] said previously [in part 1] about how some people are on a spiritual awakening path and that's part of the reason they came into this particular existence, whereas there are other people who are not really on that particular path. In this particular incarnation that they're experiencing they have a different role that they have chosen for themselves. They have a role in which they want to experience the extremes of existence. And again, this is perfectly fine. There are many other reasons, motivations, that drive how people select what they bring into a particular life.

Now, one of the more complex of those is an illness or disability. People are born and they bring with them -- and they make this decision before they're born -- a disability because there is something that they want to do with that, because they have a role to play [in which that is part of their identity].

Nothing in this physical reality happens by accident. Everything has a purpose. It may be very difficult to see that purpose at times, and it may be a struggle as that purpose works its way out, but everything has that kind of a purpose.
  
Every person is basically their own universe their own existence. The meanings of any kind of interpersonal interactions for any one of the individuals involved is something that is very much a part of that one individual's existence. It [the meaning] may be assigned to other people, or to other objects. However, it really does not come from those other objects, those other people.

The experience is that of the individual who is having the experience. You and Alan are individuals and you each have your own experience. At this point in time, the experiences you are creating in the world are a direct reflection of something that you and Alan, individually and separately, want to experience, to bring up. Sometimes it is to create a challenge of some type -- and so you create challenges.

Part of the reason challenges arise now has to do with this particular time of the year, this Christmas time of the year. Christmas and the end of the year is a very powerful time psychically on the planet, especially in those cultures that this tradition is a part of.




It's a time when many of those subconscious beliefs, subconscious things that are in that that black box, are shaken up and come out. It's also time when love is very powerful, at this time of the year. It's a time when many emotions become very powerful.

But it is also time when those deeper, what are sometimes called 'shadow', aspects arrive as well. For example, there's a very strong belief that when family get together for Christmas, people start fighting, right? And the get-togethers may turn out quite negative in some ways. And that's because of how all of these things, all these different emotions, all of these positive and what people consider negative things are being stirred up at this particular time.

This particular time is seen as a transition -- that transition from days getting shorter and darker to days getting brighter. It's the transition from one calendar year to the next calendar year. And so a lot of these things are stirred up and may create challenges.

Now, as I said, each person is a universe into themselves. So the way to deal with those challenges is to consider them in that way, to not assign them to an individual outside of yourself, but basically to realize that this was part of your subconscious. At this point in time, your subconscious, your inner self, thought this was one of those things that should come up -- that it would be good to deal with that issue or challenge at this point in time.

Now when I talk about ‘deal with that’, the way reality works, the way everything works (not only the third dimension, but in all dimensions) is that everything is basically a fragment of All That Is. It's a fragment of Source. It's a fragment of God, if you want to use that word. The one thing that everything is connected to, its the oneness. Everything is a part of that.

In the beginning before anything existed there was All That Is. There was that oneness and there was nothing else because All That Is means "all that is". It was one thing. All That Is then had the first thoughts of "I am" and "I exist". But to have that thought, All That Is had to split itself in two -- it had to split itself to an into an "I" and into an "am". And that was this first split. That was the first fragmentation. That was the "big bang".

We are, not talking figuratively -- we are talking about reality. That was the start of the universe. And from that, fragmentation after fragmentation after fragmentation occurred, until you get to this third dimensional reality that you are experiencing now. Many entities in other dimensions consider the third dimension to be the ultimate reality in terms of fragmentation, in terms of differences.

Everything is different in this reality, pretty much. And the reason All That Is created that fragmentation, that difference, was to experience it, to experience difference, to experience something other than oneness, other than singularity, other than just being a single thing. To experience and to see how diverse can I get?, how diverse can I create everything that exists, all that is?

So fragmentation occurs. On the other hand, as fragmentation occurs, we also then want to integrate, we want to go back to All That Is. That is what the goals of yoga, of meditation, of religion, is -- to return, to bring those fragmentations back together.
  
Now you yourself, and Alan, and everybody, are actually made up of many different fragmentations, many different personalities. You are not just one personality. You are many different personalities. You can see that when you're trying to make a decision and you can't. It's hard to make a decision because one personality wants this, another personality wants that, and you're trying to figure out which personality am I going to please by choosing one over the other. And in the process the other personality feels dissed and feels upset.

So one of the goals in this particular reality, in fact in all realities, all entities have this goal, is trying to reintegrate back to oneness. And the way that is done is by finding a way to bring all those different personalities that make up you into harmony.

How do you make all of them happy? How can you satisfy their various desires their various needs?

There are many processes that that help people to do this. Meditation is one. Meditators sometimes talk about how it relieves stress. Well that stress is the conflicts that occur between these different personalities. Settling the mind in meditation calms the different desires that these different personalities have. That's one way of allowing for that that type of integration.

The more that an entity integrates itself, the closer it becomes connected to Source, to All That Is.

So, when one feels that they are facing a challenge, that challenge is something that needs to be integrated. It's a part of the personality that needs to feel comfortable, that needs to be embraced and accepted. That doesn't mean you have to react to the outside entity that you see as the source of that challenge. It basically means that you have to find a way to accept that it is pare of your personality -- that you created the challenge, and you need to find a space for it so that it feels comfortable within you, so that it feels accepted and is not something that is being rejected by you. And so in that sense, it is totally an internal process of accommodating the diversity of your being.

And that's true anytime something “negative” occurs in your life. It is because there is a part of your personality that is trying to express itself through that emotion. Finding a way to accommodate that personality, to make that part of you, that particular personality that's part of you, feel comfortable and feel safe within your total being is one of the goals of life. That's one of the things that you learn in this particular time-space reality life.

It is almost like being the leader of a government -- being the leader of your body personality. How do you make all those parts of you happy? -- [Actually,] it's not even "happy" -- How do you make them feel safe and comfortable within you?  And in fact, as you do that, as you are able to do that with especially the ones that really bother you, that is another way of integration, of returning back to that oneness, returning back to All That Is. It's another path to enlightenment, to awakening.


Awakening

Awakening is knowing that everything that you experience is you. It's knowing that there's nothing outside of you. It's knowing that you are all that you experience -- you are all that is. In this sense 'All That Is' is all that you experience.




And accepting that, and being satisfied with that, and realizing that is the wonder of life, that is the amazing thing about this physical reality.

Because in the higher dimensions -- fourth dimension, fifth dimension, six dimension -- those kinds of extremes, those kinds of personalities that have disability challenges, for example, don't exist. You know in your dreams you can wish anything to happen and it will happen. That's the power you have in your dreams, and that's the fourth dimension and fifth dimension. And the higher dimensions are all like that. We can wish for anything we want.

We don't speak languages in those dimensions. We communicate instantly telepathically, so there is nothing to hide in those dimensions. We do have our challenges -- all of us are growing. In fact, you are constantly growing.

The end goal of enlightenment is returning back to All That Is, it just returning back to Source. But to get there is a very long process. And so even the entities in these higher dimensions are still developing that process, developing themselves, growing themselves, and trying and learning how to integrate. They have new challenges based on the laws of the different dimensions.

So that's really what awakening is, and what enlightenment is. Its realizing that nothing is bad, that everything has value, everything has purpose, everything has a significance, and accepting and allowing that, and integrating that, and appreciating that.


Closing

So with that, thank you for being here. I am Joshua. I am actually -- we are actually -- a group of guides, of different parts of Alan, who exist at a different dimension.

But we're all actually integrated. He's one of us as well. He is our experience of this physical time-space reality. We experience that through him because our reality, our dimension, is quite different. So we use his experiences to experience what this particular physical reality is about.

So, for the Joshua group, we thank you for being a participant in this, and we just want to say that we love you, and we love Alan, and we love your physical time-space reality, and all entities that exist within this time-space reality.

Goodbye for now.

Channeling #11, part 1 - How the Subconscious Mind Works


[Note: Below is the first part of my 11th channeling of my inner guides. This was the first one that I have done that was not by myself, but with my wife Mable as a witness and potential questioner. The entire channeling took 52 minutes. This is the first of a two part blog post.]

             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello Alan. And hello Mable. I am here. I am Joshua. And I'm very excited to be here in this first shared meeting that we're having, shared channeling of your higher, inner self – the self that's connected to the deeper reality of existence.

It's a little bit rough coming in right now because Alan's kind of nervous. But, we're confident that he'll be able to do this.

I guess, because this is a shared experience with someone else, we will start by being polite and asking if Mable has any questions for us. Mable?

Mable: Not yet.

Okay. Thank you.

Creating the Subconscious in Childhood

So, this is a different experience for Alan. Normally when we deliver a message, we are tapping into his self, his subconscious self, you could say. ‘Subconscious’ is an interesting idea. Basically, when we talk about subconscious, what's really going on is it is just that part of your mind, that part of your thoughts and beliefs, that you don't want to directly experience.

For something to be subconscious is actually an intentional decision by the person to make that belief, that thought, that knowledge, subconscious. Because, in reality, everything can be conscious to the individual in this third dimension reality that you have been born into and that you are experiencing in this life.

It is totally possible for any person to have total access to their subconscious. But they choose not to do that. And they choose not to do that for many reasons.




It starts in really early childhood, babyhood even, when the baby and the young child is taught by the parents -- and often this is totally unintentional, basically the parents are modeling this behavior -- that certain things are acceptable and certain things are not acceptable. Certain things are okay to acknowledge, certain experiences, certain aspects in this physical reality third-dimensional reality. It is socially okay to accept that those exist.

Whereas other things that are also very much a part of this third dimensional reality are suppressed and not allowed to be perceived. So, the young infant, the young child, learns what things are not allowed, what should not be acknowledged, and puts them into this this box of “subconscious” -- because that's the easiest way to deal with it.

We're reminded of that story you heard recently of a very young child seeing a man in her parent’s bedroom at night. Those kinds of experiences are very common with young children because they do see things that are really part of this third dimensional reality that most other people have suppressed and put into that subconscious box, thereby intentionally blinding themselves to those types of experiences.

And that's what the subconscious mostly is -- it's the blocking off of certain things because that's what those of you that have been born into this third dimensional reality have done. It's part of the entering process, the process of entering into and learning how to work in this third dimensional reality.

For the small child, this is all very intentional. They know that this is going to happen before they're born -- that they're going to go through this experience. In fact, they (and all beings in this third dimensional reality) choose to set themselves up when they're born because they want to learn something. They have a goal in mind in being born in this reality, and so they set up certain challenges for themselves.

They select the parents that they're going to have because they believe those parents are going to create a world for them, and even create a subconsciousness for them, that will align with what it is that they want to learn in this in this life experience, in this incarnation, we shall say. (For the time being, we shall assume that time is real. In fact, it is not real, but for this discussion, we'll just assume that time is something that really exists.)

Before the new person coming into this reality is born, they select their parents. And as part of that they're also selecting the context of the place and the challenges of that place, and the culture that they're going to come into -- all because they know this is going to create a possibility or probability for the kind of experience that they want to seek.

Now this all is probable because every entity in existence, whether part of the third dimensional reality or not, does have choice. They do have the freedom to choose the direction that they want to go in.

You're constantly given choices, given the option to choose one thing over another. This is something that that happens thousands of times a day. And that's true for everyone. So it is not possible to guarantee anything after one is born. You basically try to set it up as much as possible, to create the kinds of challenges that you want to experience in this particular life, and then you jump in and see how it goes.

And that whole period of coming into this existence basically starts with pre-birth and then lasts through early childhood. I know that some of the people that Alan listens to say it lasts about through ages seven or eight, or nine, and for some even ten, but somewhere in that range then, this subconsciousness, this boxing off of experiences, of what's allowed and what's not allowed, of taking in the attitudes, the genetic codes even, of the of the parents and of the place in which they're born [and raised], all of that coalesces. For some this happens earlier, for others later, but usually by ten one could say.

Maybe you could use the idea of puberty, perhaps, as the ultimate transition out of that particular phase of life. From then on, you're basically working with the issues that were set up at that time in one's life. The thought patterns that were created.

Now, it doesn't mean that you can't change those patterns. In fact, that's what most of life is about, is changing, is dealing with the particular issues that arose in those early years, and then seeking ways to address those issues. And that's what a lot of the exploration that begins in the teenage years, and then expands into the later years, and actually into the rest of your life, is all about.

But in those teenagers basically, it is a period of exploring one's individuality. Teenagers are known for taking risks and it's at time in which one is trying to feel out what are the limitations of what was created in the pre-teen years, in those years of very strong influences from parents. And also any other caregivers that are part of those years and who will also have that kind of an influence, as well as the place in which they grow up in.

That all comes together in those teenage years. And so, it is in those teenage years that they start feeling out what their boundaries are and how far can I go within those boundaries, within what they have set up for themselves in those earlier years.



Unfortunately, most of human culture, especially modern human culture, does not have a very good structure for doing that [for teenage explorations]. There's some awareness that something like that is going on, and there's some leeway for allowing those kinds of things, but in truly understanding how the subconscious and conscious divisions were created, that aspect is not understood at all.

And it's barely understood even in adulthood, as far as how psychologists and psychiatrists try to define and treat people for those hidden subconscious parts of their mind. There's an assumption in the psychological professions that these are inaccessible parts, that the subconscious is not something that the conscious mind can directly access.

We are here to say that's not true. It is accessible. And, in fact, [it is more accessible] as one progresses in expanding their energy levels, expanding their consciousness, expanding their self-awareness, through practices such as meditation (and yoga is a form of meditation), and through various types of spiritual practices, especially those practices that are geared towards opening up [and] that do not have a strong dogmatic preaching of what is right and what is wrong.

That is one of the problems with most organized religion. They are still defining what is right, what is wrong, what can be allowed into the mind on the conscious level, and what should be suppressed in the mind and pushed into that subconscious box.

Those kinds of traditions do have some value. There's no doubt that they can expand an individual's consciousness, especially if those individuals move beyond the dogma of the church religious hierarchy. There's quite a bit of potential in those in all religions for that. However, for the masses, they are kind of stuck in that model, although, again, that's not necessarily bad.

Developing consciousness by doing activities that open up the consciousness is actually opening up the subconscious mind and making those parts of the subconscious mind more accessible to the conscious mind. That gives a huge new level of personal power, personal empowerment, in this physical time-space third dimensional reality, to make this reality a better place for the individual person and for everyone around them, everyone who comes into contact with that person.

Now I want to step back. I mentioned earlier that it's not necessarily bad to not do this [to not expand one’s consciousness]. That is because the purpose of life is to experience diversity. It is for All That Is, or Source, to create diversity, and then to experience that diversity.

And so some people, in fact most people (especially in the past -- nowadays it is changing somewhat) do not have that particular drive to become more spiritually oriented, to move into greater integration with All That Is, with Source, with their soul. Most people are just living on that surface level of experiencing the good and the bad, and complaining about the bad and enjoying the good.

This is good. In fact, those extremes of emotion, those extremes of high enjoyment and high, or low, dis-enjoyment, of feeling bad and feeling good -- that's part of that diversity of life. Some people, when they're born into this life, into this existence, into this physical reality, that is their goal: to experience that difference to the max, to experience the highs and to experience the lows.

One of the ways to do that is actually to not engage in any kind of particular spiritual practice, or any kind of practice that's going to reveal the truth behind the highs and the lows, the truth from the perspective of Source or All That Is, the truth is that there really is no difference.

There is no difference between what is positive and what is negative. It is all just an experience. It is just an experience of the diversity of existence. But for some people that's the reason they came into this life -- to have that particular experience [or extremes]. And they'll go through this whole life with that. Maybe at the very end they might start thinking about some more spiritual things. But really, that [extreme experience] is fulfilling their dharma -- what their purpose is in this particular incarnation.

Now, usually that is something that a soul and its personality that is born into physical reality chooses for a particular purpose, for a particular incarnation. And most likely they're not going to do that with every incarnation that they have. In fact, when they've had something like that in one life, then it's very likely that the next incarnation that they have could be totally opposite -- it could be one that's highly focused on the spiritual and the reintegration of diversity with their inner oneness -- in order to balance things out.

Just as it's important to balance out being male and female across different lifetimes. Sometimes somebody will be will have a series of lifetimes (and again we're talking about time here as something that's real) in which they're male, in which case they then really need to have some female experiences, or vice versa. And so they will do that. Other people are more balanced as they go through these different incarnations.

When I started this [discussion], I was talking about how we are usually tapping into Alan's sort of subconscious and bringing this forward. In fact, most everything we've talked about so far is embedded somewhere within Alan's subconscious.

Seth on the Trans-Species Consciousness of Land, Plants, Animals and Humankind

"...it seems to you that no other consciousness has wrought what man’s has produced. Those “products” of your consciousness are indeed unique, creative, and form a characteristic mosaic that has its own beauty and elegance.

There are organizations of consciousness, however, that leapfrog the species, that produce no arts or sciences per se — yet these together form the living body of the earth and the physical creatures thereon. Their products are the seas upon which you sail your ships, the skies through which your airplanes fly, the land upon which your cities sprawl, and the very reality that makes your culture, or any culture, possible.


Man is a part of that trans-species consciousness also, as are the plants and animals. Also, part of man’s reality contributes to that trans-species organization, but he has not chosen to focus his practical daily consciousness in that direction, or to identify his individuality with it. As a result he does not understand the greater natural mobility he himself possesses, nor can he practically perceive the natural psychological gestalts of which he is a part, that form all of your natural — meaning physical — world.
Cathedral Rock, Sedona, Arizona
In dreams this relationship often is revealed. The truth behind such relationships is inherent in all God-Man, God-Woman, Animal-Man, or Animal-Woman legends and mythology. There are connections, then, between man and the animals and the so-called gods (in small letters), that hint at psychological and natural realities.
Any section of the land has an identity, so to speak, and I am not talking symbolically. Such identities represent the combined organizations of consciousness of land, man, and animal, within any given realm.
Simply enough put, there are as many kinds of consciousnesses as there are particles, and these are combined in infinite fashions. (Long pause.) In the dream state some of that experience, otherwise closed to you, forms the background of the dream drama (A one-minute pause.) Your consciousness is not one thing like a flashlight, that you possess. It is instead a literally endless conglomeration of points of consciousness, swarming together to form your validity — stamped, as it were, with your identity.
(Intently:) Whether dispersed, concentrated in a tight grouping, appearing “alone” or flying through other larger swarms, that particular organization represents your identity. Using an analogy, its “particles” could be dispersed throughout the universe, with galaxies between, yet the identity would be retained.
So unknowingly, now, portions of your consciousness mix and merge with those of other species without jarring your own sense of individuality one whit — yet forming other psychological realities upon which you do not concentrate. In the dream state, animals, men, and plants merge their realities to some extent so that information belonging to one species is transferred to others in an inner communication and perception otherwise unknown in your world."

Channeling #4 - My Path - with Amelia


I came down with a bad cold last weekend and have been mostly in bed for several days now. Fortunately, I feel better today -- Thanksgiving Day. I have been listening to a lot of channeled messages lately, from Kryon (Lee Carrol), The Group (Steve Rother), and others (The Kevin Moore Show). As I lay sick in bed, I did a search on "how to channel" and I ended up taking a couple of channeling classes (one free on YouTube and one for a Black Friday price of $9.99 on Udemy.com). 

On my second channeling attempt I had a long conversation inside my head with "Joshua". On my third attempt, Joshua spoke through my voice, but I did not record it, so I had to try to remember what he said. 

Below is the transcripts from my 4th attempt at channeling. Note that my cold has been pretty bad throughout these attempts.



27 November 2019 - 6pm (lasted about ~20 minutes) with Amelia - My/All Paths 

(I still have a bad cold, and I think this channeling made it worse. I did not ask any questions. Instead, Amelia just started talking about a minute or less after I did my altar routine. At certain parts, especially when she got excited, I started swaying as I attuned to her energy. I turned on my phone recorder as soon as I felt someone was going to come through, but the location next to me was bad, so I could not make some passages. I will fix this next time.) 

(parentheses indicates text that I added that was not there originally, such as the paragraph above)
[brackets indicates my attempt to interpret audio that was unclear, sometimes I just state "unclear"]

"You still need to clear your mind so I can come through. My name is Amelia. I am a friend of Josh, I work with Josh. Sometimes (in the past) you thought that I was Amy, but actually, the being you thought was Amy is actually a whole series of female entities within your being who work your female side, which you have been many times in your parallel (past and future) personalities. We think that is probably somewhat evident to you, as you tap more into those feminine intuitions. At least they are considered feminine in your current reality, in the belief systems in your current reality, that places greater value on the scientific masculine, and less value on the intuitive feminine. But you already know that. What you are seeking is in fact the more feminine.

It (the feminine side) has always been there, and was one of the reasons for your life struggles in your teenage years, because you had that presence, and yet in those years, in those years where the samsara - mirage - of your waking dream reality, as you call it, is so strong, because your self is still developing and in [that time of] your [life] you are required [to learn about physical reality] - not necessarily required, but, you agreed to come into that [reality] easily and fully, completely. That is why most of you erase all memories of your lives that brought you to this life, what you call past lives, but they can also be future lives, that influenced the decision to be born into this particular existence. It is because you wanted to play the game so much, you wanted to get the most that you can out of this life. And that is true of every being on this planet. That's true for every entity on this planet. That is true for every animal and plant, every part of every animal and plant. That's true for every cell and every atom in this reality. It is was Seth calls "value fulfillment". [They] are seeking the highest value fulfillment, the highest experience that is possible in this waking reality. That is why you, and others like you, have this desire to awaken, to realize that, because that is one of the highest [levels] of consciousness in this reality.

As you know, there are many stages, many forms, of enlightenment, and while some are called higher and some lower  or more basic, really from the perspective of Source, your larger being, your Soul, there is no actual difference because they each offer a unique perspective, a different perspective, a different way of understanding reality, of understanding [unclear - a complex world] [unclear] in the [framework of a] time-space experience -- the experience of having different parts of you come forward in an apparently linear manner. Each of those experiences is of extreme value to yourself, to your soul, who [is what?] you are in this existence. Each of those experiences must be cherished and embraced, integrated into who you are in this reality, in this time-space reality.

Of course, you know that time and space are illusions. They are something that you created that you [use] in this physical waking dream reality, [they are something] which you have agreed to experience, have agreed to the rules of time and space, [that is part of being in a reality] with these rules of the game. But as long as you are here, you want to obey those rules. You [want or need?] to use those rules to come back to Source, and to integrate your inner self, your bigger inner self, with who you really are, to integrate that with this waking dream reality. That is the goal, that is the ultimate reason for being.

You have read that Source, All That Is, had no other, could not know itself because there was nothing else to know. It then had the first inkling, the first thought, "I Am". The only way that could have happened is for it (Source) to split, into a duality. The first duality, which your scientists call the Big Bang, but it really wasn't a big bang, it was very subtle. From that first duality came a second, and a third and a fourth and a fifth, until the universe as you know was created. All is a fragment, holograph, fractal, a [reflection] of All That Is. And all of us, even those of us who are guides, your guides, even those of us who are higher or more integrated than the guides who you are talking to the most in this channel, all of them, all the way back to Source itself, have one goal: to re-integrate, to bring the pieces back. That is the aim.


Fragmentation and integration, fragmentation and integration. Fragmentation to experience diversity - to experience the wonders of this physical dream reality that you live in (referring to the third dimension). It is so different, than almost any other reality, almost than any other dimension. Granted there are many different realities in your dimension, so we should be [calling these] dimensions. This dimension is so different from the first, second, fourth, fifth, and other dimensions. It is the dimension where fragmentation reaches its climax - the ultimate (of that type of ) experience. It is that dimension where the diverse wonders of creation, wonders of all the things, all the [people], the amazing diverse options [appear] in so many different ways.

[There are easier ways to re-integrate.] You could die (for example, and then) go to the fourth dimension and re-integrate in that way. [As you go to higher dimensions, you move closer to re-integrate with source, and it may be easier.] In the 11th dimension, the last one, the fragmentation completely disappears as 'All That Is' is a oneness. So you could do that. [unclear - There was something about how different channels talk about 11, 12 and 13 dimensions, but Amelia said those differences are unimportant because it is all a continuum that can be divided in many ways.] [unclear] and achieve enlightenment. [unclear] However, to experience integration in the third dimension is a wonder that beings throughout the fragmented realities of All That Is find fascinating -- how humans, and not just humans but other beings, animals, plants, rocks -- how entities are [in their own ways] able to reach very high levels of integration that are very similar in fact to the fourth dimension, but in the third dimension right here. [Many], well its not real big, but a number of human beings on this planet have already entered into the fourth dimension, while maintaining their grounded physical bodies and consciousness in the third dimension. This is when you start experiencing bliss, levels of bliss consciousness.

Maharishi talks about levels of bliss (or cosmic) consciousness, god consciousness, unity consciousness. That is why those are the ultimate goals that one can seek out. (However), there is nothing that says you have to seek these. There are many other ways to integrate. Integration can be very small, by simply forgiving someone. [unclear - integrating something that you have been pushing away, perhaps?] It may seem like a small integration, but it could have major impacts on other parallel selves [in different realities]. So there are no small integrations. There are just different [experiences] by different people.

Small integrations, big integrations, people are driven by different goals for themselves. Part of that is karmic, with different goals. You were told (by a jyotish/vedic astrologer) that this is (likely to be) your last incarnation, your last physical presence in waking dream reality, because you had experienced many others (incarnations). When looked at from a timeline (perspective), you have experienced many incarnation in the past in which you had a spiritual path and in which you mastered many skills that come together at this time. Or you can think of this as a non-time [incarnation] in which all these paths exist at this (one point in) time. [unclear - in fact all of your parallel and different dimensional personalities] are doing this together, in their own realities, in our own dimensions. We are all experiencing this rush [to awakening/integration]. [unclear - We each contribute to the expansion of each other and to the expansion of our higher/inner/soul self.] When it seem like synchronicities are occurring [they are actually incidents] that are created by other parallel selves in other dimensions, or in this dimension in other time and space realities.

[That is how it works. That is how this works.] That is your path.

I think that is enough. Hopefully the recording worked. We appreciate [this connection]. We love you. {I love you.}

(Comment 1: As interesting as this was, I feel like I already know all this. There is nothing really "new" in what was said. As such, I felt like I was simply talking to myself -- which is probably because my goal was to channel my inner self. I have heard that channeling can start out this way for some people, and only after some time do they start channeling higher dimensional beings who have information beyond themselves. I guess time will tell.
Comment 2: Channeling feels a lot like being in a lucid dream, to me. Except that I personally, and with limited experience, find it easier to do than lucid dreaming, which is more hit and miss when I intentionally try to do it.)

A Lucid Dream to Mars -- thanks to Jet-Lag


Monday, Sept 2nd at 1:31am - I had returned from a 10 day trip to China the previous Thursday night and was still feeling jet-lag. I woke up at 11pm and recorded a dream and then went back to sleep. I was kind of awake so I tried to re-enter that dream I had recorded, which was in the city I was at in China. 

I went back to the street I was staying on and there I meet Josh, one of my inner guides. I  ask him where Emily was, who is my other guide. She appeared and said she was now Alita, after the robot girl in the movie I saw on the plane: Alita Battle Angel (I saw it 3 times on other people's screens while I was working on my computer). 

I asked them how I am doing which they thought was a silly question because they said that I knew the answer. They especially were pleased that I chose to return a call to my yoga studio about my playing my gongs for a restorative yoga class. This was a good move, they said. 


I decided not to ask about ailments this time but to follow my "Moon + Mars" lucid dream plan instead. I went to the Moon and saw many people there and offered to help one of them. She asked me where she was and I explained that she had died and how the Moon is a popular choice for many newly deceased and that she was now in a dream-like state where whatever she wished for would instantly appear. She wished for some fast-food and drinks and got more than she needed then wished them away. I told her to practice that and that someone else will soon come to help her to the next stage.

I then went to Mars where I was introduced to the multidimensional nature of that planet. We know the red planet as an empty 3rd dimensional reality. But it is mostly used by the inhabitants from other dimensions as a vacation destination. The 'tourists' I met mostly live in the 4th dimensions in which there are several Mars of different colors and color combinations, which I was shown. They mostly work on developing themselves on creating realities so they can advance into the 5th and 6th dimensions. However they are having a good time in 4th dimension so that development is slow. They also told me that Mars and Earth occupy the same 'space' in the 4th and higher dimensions, so it is very easy to change one's vibration to come to Mars and to visit its different forms. I briefly tried this with some success.

Because the people/beings I met are mostly based in the 4th dimension, they can materialize their thoughts and suggest that I try this. At first I think of sex but quickly decide that love, self love, is what I really wanted, so I fill my being with the vibration of love. I thanked my Mars hosts (who might be Josh and Alita now) as I decide to wake up and record all this before it becomes too much to remember. Through this lucid dream I was partially aware of my sleeping body and bedroom, which is why I call it lucid imagining.


(I found this in my "drafts" on Thanksgiving Day, which is why it is being posted long after I had had the dream and written it up.)

Waking and Dreaming as Simultaneous Realities


26 August 2019 - Haikou, Hainan, China

Earlier today, I had lunch with an email friend from Hainan University. After lunch she took me on the back of her electric motorbike to a shopping mall across the river from where I am staying because she (and I) wanted to go to the grocery store there. She also kind of pointed toward the location of "night market" near Hainan University. Later, I decided to walk to the night market for dinner. Crossing the big road and then the river was quite an adventure because the throng of motorbikes at this time of day share the same pathway that pedestrians use.

Being a pedestrian in the midst of these electric motorbike commuters was my first deja vu experience.
While walking, I had some deja vu feelings -- like I have been in this scene (or scenes) before in a dream(s). I thought that was interesting, but I did not think much more about it than that. My friend's directions were not very clear on how to get to the night market from the mall, but I kept looking for interesting activity and I soon found myself at the Haida (Hainan University) Night Market, which was a pretty amazing place with food on one side of a long pedestrian street and a variety of toys, cell phones, other products, and fruit, on the other side. I got a vegetarian wrinkled cheung fun (flat rice noodle) dish with cabbage and egg. Two guys next to me gave me two of their oysters, as well, and I exchanged WeChat contacts with them. I also ate some jack fruit and watermelon for desert. I then walked back.


Haida (Hainan University) Night Market
At some point, I think while walking back through the market, but I cannot really identify it exactly when it was, I found myself in both this waking reality place and in a dream reality of the same place at the same time. The waking reality was the night market as I walked and took photos and bought a bubble milk tea for 7 yuan (98c US). However, I was also acting out a sleeping dream reality version that was similar, but with different challenges -- more game like choices. As I walked further along, I moved more completely in waking reality, but I had the memory of both the previous waking reality place and the dream reality activities. I was trying to clearly remember what I had done in the dream reality part, exactly as I do when trying to remember a dream when I wake up in the middle of the night. While I do not now remember all the details, I do recall the sense that I had some choices and the ones I picked panned or spread out very well - like on some kind of curved, dark-stained, wooden track. 

I felt a bit disoriented by this odd memory recall, grasping for it while also wondering how something like this could happen while I am walking and not in bed. Despite this, I found my way back to my hotel quite easily with a little help from Google Maps. I do not recall ever experiencing this before and have not (yet) heard anyone talk about this type of experience. I know (from Seth/Jane Roberts) that sleeping dream reality is actually constantly taking place and forming the basis for our waking reality experiences, and that the line between then is actually very thin. Something about tonight's experience got me right on the line, I think, and it was extremely interesting.  (Also kind of interesting is that this came the day after I had my first lucid dreams in quite awhile.)

"Please be civilized"

UPDATE: 16 November 2019

I am reading The Early Session Book 2 of the Seth Material, in which Seth comments on how deja vu is the experience of two versions of myself existing and experiencing two different realities. So when I have a deja vu experience, it is because another version of myself is actually having that experience as a full reality experience. I am getting a glimpse of the experience of that other reality self, which in our time-base third dimension, we usually call past reincarnations (although they could just as easily be future reincarnations).

That is an interesting perspective to ponder on, I think.

Another channeled being, I think named Laarkmaa, says that we each have 12 selves, spread in 12 different dimensions at the same time, and, like Seth says, all of our selves influence each other based on what we learn and experience. Seth also says that we can tap into the skills and knowledge of our other dimensional selves and bring those skills and knowledge into our present dimension.

Gong, Yoga and Lucid Experiences

From my dream journal...

Dream 1 - Entering alternate realities in yesterday's Gong Restorative Yoga Class. 

While not a nighttime dream, this was a form of lucid daydreaming (like a Wake Induced Lucid Dream - WILD), so I am writing it up is as a dream here. Toward the end of the restorative yoga with gong class last Friday, I actively sought to enter into alternative realities, which I had felt the gong vibrations were facilitating from throughout the class. After moving through some pastel cloud-like landscapes, I entered a very dark blue space without any distinct features, but with glowing white light celestial beings floating about. I asked to meet my inner/higher self and I met a man  with a round face and full and mostly brown beard who smiled at me. I wondered why it had to be a man, and it shifted into a woman, but did not hold that shape for very long, as he/she became more indistinct in form. Communication was by telepathy, and I felt that I understood the intentions of the celestial beings in that way, although I could not formulate what I was feeling into words. I asked my inner self  (if that is who it was) why I am having a certain health  issue lately, what was the message that this ailment is intended to teach me? I could not, however, sense a response to that question. I think maybe because I was operating on too gross of a level -- not subtle enough.

I recorded five nighttime dreams this night. I could have recorded more, as this was a very active night, possibly due to the restorative gong class. One of the dreams seemed to be an answer to my health question, which dissipated considerably in the following days. The only one that I am including here is the following, because it, too, was related to my yoga studio.

Dream 5 - 4:40am - An early morning Wake Back to Bed (WBTB) dream. 

I had woken up and then tried to remain awake as I re-entered the dream I had just had, which was in Singapore. It was working at first, but after a very short time my mind became scrambled (felt like scrambled eggs or television static) and I could not return to any lucidity at all. So I woke up again and decided to meditate lying in bed, instead. Meditation brought about a more clear hypnogogic lucidity. I was at my yoga studio and Abby was leading a yoga class - probably restorative. She had us flying around the room, but told us to move very slowly so we would not bump into each other, which was happening. She then had us lie down and expand our minds to fill the room, and then to merge minds into a single group consciousness. I think we did one other thing, but I could not recall what it was after I fully woke up again. This was fun, and clearly tied to yesterday's restorative gong yoga class. Maybe I should get myself a gong?
