The Extraordinary & the Ordinary

Many of us who experience mystical visions from the realms of radiant Light, write about the sublime experiences because of their beauty and wonder. To have these experiences is indeed a blessing offering hope, direction and evidence of a higher life available to all of us. I accept them with gentle tears of joy and gratitude. Although they are extraordinary compared to the experiences we normally have as humans, I am actually fascinated in more ways by the ordinary. What I mean by ordinary is the interaction of friends, family and strangers who have physically left their bodies and choose to remain in the lower invisible worlds for a spell.

To describe ordinary according to the perspective of a neighbor of mine who had a near death experience swimming will be interesting to people who have not examined the idea of ongoing life. When he temporarily left his body and visited the lower astral plane, he was very surprised and disappointed. He expected Heaven as described by his church and all he saw were people walking around everywhere. He did not understand the various planes that exist according to consciousness, will and desire. So many people believe that they are going to sit on the right hand of God or interact with great masters, angels and experience whatever they envision Heaven to be. It is true that often times we receive or experience the results of our belief system but it is not necessarily as grand as we had hoped. The soul finds that out soon enough. The invisible worlds are basically the same as the physical world up to a point. The point of transformation is reached when individual consciousness matches the Causal and Celestial worlds.

What I find fascinating is how souls who have physically left their bodies behave so ordinary. After my mother's death, she came and reminded me about having her gravestone updated. The man I was dating four years ago who died unexpectedly appeared in my kitchen addressing me in his own special way asking me to tell his married daughter to locate a very old and special wallet of his squirreled away somewhere in his home. It turned out sentimental notes, stubs,etc. from the time he and his wife were lovers were tucked away in that old wallet. The daughter did find it and I am certain he is now satisfied. The funny part to me were his old departed buddies standing near him. As below so Above in his particular case. Many souls have unfinished business, concerns about loved ones and attachments that they will not release until they are satisfied. It is desire that keeps them in the lower regions of light until they assimilate their recent life journey and are ready to move on. No attachments...no lingering.

Contacts with the Invisible

Isn't it fascinating how the mind works? When we think of a person, even if that person is at the other end of the world, our thought will go directly to that person and no one else among the billions of people on earth. Thoughts are like magnets. Focused mind energy also is effective when we send our thought to the invisible worlds of Light. The most effective way of attracting the attention of an entity is to pronounce his or her name. The vibration of the name will take you to your target instantly. This is why mantras are so powerful and have been popular for thousands of years. When we make contact through the name of a lofty being or ideal, we receive blessings.

A name produces vibrations both good and bad that affect the etheric, astral, and mental bodies of our own identity. How many parents really think of the consequences and how the chosen name contributes enormously to the development of certain qualities and virtues. This is why souls who are doing the Great Work of self-mastery and service sometimes change their name. A new name can alter a person's destiny. Using the name of someone on the 'Other Side' is important in healing prayers. In the invisible world, a name is like a telephone number. If you are interested in making a connection to the energy of angels, archangels, saints and masters, either to ask for help or to help others, understand that a good name pronounced clearly and lovingly becomes a magic power.

Recently, I went to memorial service for another one of my dearest friends. The memorial service was a celebration on every level. Because this dear soul represented love and joy, everyone who was present felt her amazing vibration. The people who gather to honor a departed one draw the soul back to the memorial service or funeral. Because of the use of the name, the soul usually returns and observes the emotional event. It is common for some of us to spiritually see or feel the presence of a departed family member or friend. In this case, I saw my friend standing by the piano dressed in pulsating radiant purple energy. During her physical life, she loved to participate in the Universal Dances. At her service, she was seen and felt gracefully moving around the large room. Other sensitives could feel her touch as well as her enthusiastic joy and freedom.

Glorified Souls

Glorified souls are the extreme opposite from the lower astral entities who are doing their utmost to influence humans. One who has attained self-mastery is a glorified soul in my way of thinking. They are the most highly evolved souls. They are the saints, patriarchs and prophets, the great Masters of mankind, the founders of religions. They are the elect who are a connecting link between the unenlightened humans and the range of invisible beings called angels and on upward to the consciousness of the Seraphim. These beings still exist as a luminous brotherhood on the invisible plane. Even in the Universal Brotherhood, there are varying levels in which consciousness continues to evolve. Every mystical movement has a different name for the brotherhood whose role is to watch over mankind and channel cosmic forces to men to help them awaken and grow spiritually.

I know this is true because I have seen, felt and communicated with many of them. They are the true Universal White Brotherhood. These beings have completed their soul evolution and are no longer subject to the whims of fate. They are invulnerable and immortal and possess all knowledge and all powers. Although these beings are masters there exist even more exalted beings. In other words, consciousness is always expanding as sublime hierarchies in the ongoing evolution of the Source as individual form. The beings of the Universal White Invisible Brotherhood are the link between mankind and the sublime levels of consciousness unimaginable to the conscious mind. The Brotherhood are first servants of love, wisdom and truth. They watch over us with great patience and are very powerful.

To gain access to their consciousness, we must prepare ourselves. In other words, we are required to have evolved certain qualities and virtues in our own consciousness. When we make the effort to be pure and dedicate our lives in service to a high ideal, a connection is made. When you have a vision or dream contact with an exalted being, it means that that being is in his or her own special way looking in on you and sending light and protection so you can become more and more like them. They help us achieve a good reflection of the light of the Source that we are. Their assignment, so to speak, is to touch and meet with souls in the flesh who are ready to vibrate in unison with the glorious Brotherhood. When a real connection is made, they frequently give us gifts and powers so we, too, may reach the very peak of evolution while in a human form. These are beings who once had human frailties and have conquered them.

Access to Subtle Realities

Some people do not believe that there is anything existing beyond what they experience through the five senses. To access the worlds of light, you need to develop the corresponding spiritual senses. To gain the knowledge of Light, depends on you. No one else is to blame. Since the only reality to man is what he feels, perhaps he needs to look closely at the way he feels. The inner reality is the only reality. You will gain entrance when this fact is accepted. To have achieved the physical bodies that we now use involved development over long periods of history. In many ways, the animals see, fear and sense better than we do. We are still evolving. We also have spiritual organs in our subtle bodies that are evolving. Developing our spiritual organs occurs more rapidly when we explore the spiritual regions of existence.

As I said in an earlier Blog, if you are clairvoyant you would see how many entities are around you when you are worried and upset. It is during those moments that they play with you. The "undesirables" from the lower astral plane are clever and find many ways into humans to torment them. If you give into their influence, you can disintegrate. Don't open your door to their presence because trouble will follow you to the psychologist or psychoanalyst's office. If you have studied any of the sacred books, you know they exist. Accept their existence and learn how to protect yourself.

You have a will...use it. Purity, inner light and will power prevents negative influences from clinging to you. They can't stand the light and will leave. Surround yourself with color and make an impassable barrier between you and negativity. Light scatters and disintegrates evil. It is when you are depressed, worried, ill, doubtful, angry and feeling helpless that you must remember to pray, meditate, and chant. You must act. Even masters have to protect themselves. There are many negative currents bouncing around the planet. Don't allow yourself to be at their mercy. Surround yourself with a circle of Light. This is a grave subject and must be understood. It is up to you to do what is necessary to keep yourself safe from assault.

Parallel Worlds

There exits parallel worlds of a subtle nature which are hierarchical in their structure similar to the diversified consciousness found in the minds living on earth. Few people write about the higher Causal etheric worlds of the soul because to write about them, one must experience them. It is possible to intuitively witness and feel the Land of the Living or higher Heavens if we have visions and our spiritual senses are activated. Very exalted spirits, saints, prophets and great Masters exist in the etheric plane working, protecting, enlightening and guiding all those who have chosen to walk in the light. These beings are specialists in mastery. In the book Be-Embracing the Mystery a few stories are shared.

This week, I shared a sprinkling of knowledge regarding the lower astral plane where tormented and earthbound souls find their home. I use the term lower because the dimension is in close proximity to our physical earth. The pristine purity that was once considered normal in matter and the adjoining space has lost it luminosity. The currents and forces of the divine world have been opposed by other forces, which are negative. There are many places in the world such as Greece, Thrace, Egypt and India that have lost their divine forces. Invisible entities that were once present helping human beings have left. There are souls in geographical locations who choose to lift consciousness and revere life: they are the ones who are always helped. These are the humans who desire to consciously return to the sacred located in the heart.

Between the very lowest vibration and the luminous regions of the universe are the other five levels consisting of seven sub levels, each housing consciousness in subtle forms. These are the regions of angels, guides, relatives and friends who have made a choice to serve humans who ask for assistance. Assistance is given regarding bodily, emotional, mental and spiritual issues as well as helpfulness with materiality. Beginning today and through next week, I will share firsthand experiences with the 'other side of life'.

A very close spiritual friend of mine prematurely left her body two months ago. During her lingering illness, we became daily Internet friends. In her last weeks, she would firmly state that she would help me from her subtle and new environment. One of the first things she did to let me know all was well with her in her new world was to tamper with my computer. I have five Internet addresses. Each of my personal email addresses has its own address book. One evening I went to write an email and the address book was empty. I checked out the other personal email address books and they also were empty except for one address. My physically deceased friends Internet email address was the only one left in all five of my otherwise empty address books. She left her signature, so to speak. Knowing how easily it is for souls in the subtle worlds to manipulate electronics, I also knew that she would return the contents to the five address books. I laughed and went to dinner. Later, I checked the five address books and everything was back to normal. This story is one of hundreds of experiences that I have had this lifetime with the power of love as well as mischief making from one of many parallel worlds to ours.

Have a great weekend!

Entities, Trauma and Desires

The Cabbalistic tradition and many others teach that there are seven worlds or earths. This means that the earth is similar to man and has a range of seven states of existence/vibration ranging from the subtlest to the coarsest. This means, we have the same structure. To know yourself and to know earth, it is necessary to understand what a real human being is as well as the planet we live on. The most common names for the seven layers of energy consciousness are the etheric, astral, mental, Causal, Buddhic and Atmic planes. I write extensively about them in my latest book, Be-Embracing the Mystery.

It is important to understand that we are in touch with the subtle realms through our subtle bodies just as the earth is in touch with the sun and other planets through its subtle bodies. Understanding explains influences. This is one of the many reasons astrology is important to some people. Each one of us is influenced by the state of the earth at the moment of our birth as well as signs that we are physically born under. The negative influences are minimal in a soul that has developed a high degree of master consciousness. I mention the subtle energies because earthbound or emotional entities often lodge their desires in any of the nine chakras of the Western man and the seven magnetic chakras of Eastern man. Trauma is an injury and it happens on the mental and spiritual level as well as the physical.

The following is an example from my book. "A soul vibrating in an invisible dimension can also cause a human to become sick or die. A young woman was brought to our home that smelled of death. She was anorexic. My friend held on to her very carefully as she gently helped her settle down into a comfortable chair. As I stood over the ill woman, I became aware of a subtle entity, her sister, who had died the year before. I intuitively knew that the deceased sister had also been anorexic. The "dead" sister who was very much alive on a lower astral plan was attempting to influence the living sister to stop eating and join her on the other side. Until that moment, the plan was working. I sternly lectured the entity about moral issues and that she must leave her sister alone and move onward into a different life in the dimension that is now her environment. I also called reinforcements, angels, to come and remove the lingering earthbound soul.

The Source, the power of the Holy Spirit, stepped in and everything was corrected. Once the young woman became free of the attachment and the influence of her deceased sister, her health rapidly improved. The debilitating experience changed the young woman's consciousness. She decided to help herself and others. The anorexic was now becoming whole. She enrolled in courses of study that would provide education and treatment for ongoing health, diet and enhancing her own sense of self esteem.

The Cause of Evil

The doctrine that God can be incarnated in human form is found in both religion and philosophy. It is said, that when goodness grows weak, evil increases. What does this mean? The bodies of human beings are affected by the good or bad states of their minds. The answer to this question is discovered when we research and ultimately discover the Light. The divine serenity and good will of the many is one of the reasons the world does not go completely mad. In the psychic universe, the same holds true. If the psychic world is fed obsessive thoughts of evil, egotism and rebellion, it will connect with humans whose behavior is negatively emotional, mistreating the mind and body and off balance. The human mind affects consciousness regardless of its density or visibility.

When I speak of density, I am referring to the fact that matter is Light condensed. When a soul lives in matter, it psychologically distances itself from the Source, God, the Limitless Light. Imagine an immense circle with a point at its center. Living in a world of matter we are on the periphery and not at the center, which emanates the light. Souls who have manifested in matter lose their center. The only way they regain it is through personal seeking, striving, loving and being. So, if a soul does not know that it has distanced itself from the Center Light, it reacts in confusion, forgetfulness, sorrow and in many cases anger. These reactions are self-destructive. Much of the sorrow today is a direct result of humans understanding on a very subtle level that they are missing something very valuable. They are missing grace because they judge themselves from the outward appearance and not the inner light of perfection.

Yes, I am saying that the ugliness, disrespect, selfishness, horror and cruelty that can be experienced by a soul whether it is in a physical body or existing on a lower astral plane is the result of this sense of lack and separation. You see, when Nature and life is not respected or understood from the center point, the doer's light is diminished. Dying is all about diminished Light. When I look at people with my inward spiritual eye, the intensity of their light is obvious. The light of their consciousness can be barely visible or it can be like a waterfall spilling over into life itself. We are light first. The physical body came later. If we do not take care of the inner Light, the mind, emotions, body, relationships, work and whatever we do is harmed. It cannot expand because the light is temporarily capped. From a cosmic point of view, all of us must move towards the Center, the Limitless Light, Father-Mother God, our Source. Church, temple and ashram attendance is not the answer. The answer is within your heart and mind and how you allow your light to shine. If it is basically snuffed out, you die on every level through negative thoughts and associations. Your mind attracts to you what you think and feel about all day. Looking at evil from this perspective, ask your self whether any form of negativity is an outside influence directed at you or is it that your inside needs a divine scrubbing.
