 The Dialogues -- Part I  (Excerpts) 

 

Definitions of Some Jargon Words

I don’t like jargon words but unfortunately, I found myself using them anyway!

Allowing: Allowing is a letting-in of life force energy, without resistance. The default experience for a conscious being, in the absence of resistant or self–limiting thought, is a feeling of well–being. In life, one allows by avoiding self–criticism and self–judgment, as well as criticism and judgment of others.

 

Connected: By connected is meant a pure joining to life force energy, which always results in a feeling of joy and well–being. Thought, being a product of consciousness, interfaces directly with it. Thought precedes emotion; self–limiting thought causes a descent on the emotional scale; no–thought and self–supporting thought result in positive emotion.

 

Consciousness: Self–awareness; pure, positive, creative potential. Consciousness is the animating and directing principle of the universe. Consciousness is non–physical in nature; therefore, it is not measurable, only the products of consciousness are measurable.

 

Disconnected: engaging in resistant, judgmental, or self–limiting thought, which causes a descent on the emotional scale.

 

Focus: To focus is to center attention, or to pay attention to. Strong focus is concentration. In the dialogues, ‘focusing of consciousness’ means the intent for experiencing. A beetle has a different life experience than a human, and the intentions for such a life must be different!

 

Manifestation: Something tangible, something that exists; usually, a physical object, like a house or a car or money; but it also refers to a condition or situation, like health, or clarity.

 

Non-Physical: Virtual, non–corporeal. Unable to be objectively measured or detected with physical instrumentation.

 

Source Energy: Pure, positive, life force energy. Thought energy, which proceeds directly from consciousness. It has also been called chi,  prana, or Ka (and many other labels as well).

 

Vibration:  Periodic (or non–periodic) motion through a medium. When you hit a piano key or pluck a guitar string, it begins to oscillate back and forth, moving the molecules of air around, generating sound waves.

An atom is vibrating internally, because atoms are 99.99% space with electrons that spin and rotate about the nucleus. In the standard scientific model, matter and energy is composed of atoms; therefore, matter and energy can be considered vibrational, even though the human senses perceive these things as solid and unmoving.

Thoughts are also vibrational, for they are alive, proceeding directly from consciousness.

Every thought has a distinct vibration, depending upon its content.  When you strike the middle ‘A’ note on a piano, you hear a distinct sound (including the harmonics of that note). Every key on the piano sounds a unique note, and so too with thoughts. When you think a thought,  make a choice, preference or  decision, you create a vibration within the universal medium, which is postulated to be a field of thought energy that surrounds, penetrates, and composes all things. field of consciousness. So every conscious being is a sort of broadcasting tower to the rest of the universe.

Thought is, in the vibrational model of the universe, the fundamental quanta, the building block of matter and energy.

Emotions are amplifiers of thought, and serve to boost the strength of your broadcast signal.

I will often refer to a person’s ‘vibration,’ meaning, the sum total of a person’s thoughts, beliefs, and feelings about life.

The totality of a person’s thoughts, beliefs and attitudes and feelings determine precisely what he or she experiences in life.

This is exactly the opposite of what we are taught; that is, it is commonly thought that beliefs and feelings are determined by the ‘reality’ around us, but this is backwards. Such a philosophy places effect before cause. Cause is consciousness; the horse pulls the cart, not the other way around.

This idea has been understood for millennia; the Buddha said, ‘what we are arises from our thoughts. With our thoughts we make our world.’

See the book ‘The Vibrational Universe’ for more details.

 

Introduction

 

For many years, off and on, I would sit with a piece of paper and a pen and just write down questions, waiting for inspiration to strike. Sometimes I would just write down whatever came into my head. Often these efforts were rewarding, sometimes the results were nonsense. Then I saw the books from Neale Donald Walsch, and I saw that his very powerful questions generated answers of very high clarity. I figured that Walsh had done a definitive job of it, and that any efforts from myself would be redundant.

But for the past couple of years I have been trying to reconcile my understanding of science with that of metaphysics; I realized I had original questions which Mr. Walsh had not asked, so I decided to sit down at the keyboard and ask them.

I discovered what Mr. Walsh discovered; that is, the more intense the desire for clarity through the asking of the question, the clearer was the reply.

I am not exactly sure who or what is providing the answers. All I can say is that I feel a definite energy surging through me during the process of asking the question. Their answers come in the form of what I can only refer to as a ‘packet’ of complete understanding.

I then translate this understanding as fast as I can into words. Most of the time I can’t keep up, but they have learned to slow down to my level of typing, which isn’t that great. I have also learned that after I ask the question, I just have to allow the answer to come to me. I had to get over the resistance I felt to some of their replies. Sometimes their responses made no sense, or I just disagreed with them. So I had to learn to accept what was coming in, and, even more important, to not interject my own crap into the middle of their message. This was difficult at first, as you may be able to discern as you read the first pages. I had to get over the urge to sanitize or make logical sense of the replies. When I was able to do this, I was always surprised at what came out. Sometimes they would just remind me of stuff that was already sitting in my mind, but which I had not connected in the proper way to the question I had asked. At other times, there was a completely new understanding (at least for me) that came forth.

And I hafta tell you, sometimes the energy from them came through me so strongly it was like being in the middle of a gigantic rush of bliss. It feels like complete excitement, exhilaration, and it is totally positive. The common denominator of this energy is utter and complete well being. That is the only way I can state it in words. Their certainty that all is well, not just well, but blissfully perfect, exhilarating, wonderful, (etc.) was at first, confusing and irrational and then, as I became used to it, incredibly inspirational. As a result of these dialogues, I know now what an amazing experience death will be. Actually, they just laugh at death, for them it is a ludicrous concept. They say that there is no death, just a transition to another way of perceiving. They say that we are never unconscious, because when we sleep, we dream, and so are perceiving in the dream state.  From their point of view, death is like a scared cat in his first trip through the cat door. Coming in through the gate, going back out through the gate, that’s what its like entering and exiting the body, but they say the experience of exiting is so blissful, you will laugh at yourself once you get on the ‘other side’ at any fear you had about the death process.

Well, if what they send me is what this next level of perceiving is like, I almost can’t wait to croak!

I have a feeling these guys came to me in response to my desire for knowledge. I am the sort of bloke who does not care who or how I get information; if it makes sense, that is good enough for me. It is easy to trust the content of their messages, because, as I said before, it comes with a feeling of complete and utter certainty. The only uncertainty is my translation of it!

I call them ‘guys’ or ‘them’ because it feels like there is a consciousness that is responding to me, but not a single person. At first I didn’t differentiate between them, because I couldn’t, really, and also because it wasn’t important to me. It was only later that I was able to get the individual members of the group. Their emotions run from the sarcastic to the childish, but mostly I feel a sense of complete certainty, and of joy, when I am in full communication with them.

I cannot categorize them, because, as ‘they’ say, any categorization is a label, and ‘they’ do not want to be limited in that fashion.

If it’s OK with them, its OK with me. All I care about are the responses, and that great rush of positive energy I feel!

I am not claiming that anything in this book is The Truth. I believe that Truth is something unique and personal to each conscious being, but I also believe that there are fundamental principles upon which the universe is based, and upon which it has been constructed; and I have found  their responses to my questions to be quite enlightening on that topic.

There are those reading this who will understand more fully than I, the responses I am getting. So please forward to me your understanding if you feel you have anything profound or significant to add.

I hope that these dialogues will be helpful to you in clearing up some of life’s mysteries; or, at least, that you will find them entertaining. These guys do not want is to be boring!

(Session 1)
Time

 

Q: I am fascinated with the idea that time is not a concrete thing like our 3 spatial dimensions, and that if a being had a level of consciousness high enough, linear time would disappear for that being and all things in existence could be perceived at once.

If  there is a separate time dimension, then couldn’t everything that has ever existed be coexisting right now?

I guess I’m asking you if there are parallel universes.

 

A: Your communication is a little fuzzy. We will respond by saying that you may be seeing a potential which then becomes your reality in every conscious moment. You are simply grabbing a potential and making it ‘real’ to you. The potential contains the energy from which consciousness molds its reality.

The matter and energy of the body of your grandfather, for example, and all of the things that have ever existed, has simply changed its form. You know this as the law of conservation of energy. Energy is simply recycled, that is all.

 

Q: Huh? Explain what you meant by that, and tell me what happened to the earth that my grandfather lived in? Did it just melt back into the potential?

 

A: You may   perceive time in smaller or larger increments depending upon your sensory perception, but this  perception is always a function of consciousness itself. For example,  a very small organism with a short life span (relative to humans) might ‘sample’ much more quickly than a tree, which can live hundreds of years. This is sensory perception of time. You say ‘time is dragging’ or, ‘I can’t believe it’s 3 o’clock already.’ That is consciousness itself re-interpreting time. So time may be experienced differently depending upon the organism which is experiencing, and the consciousness associated with it.

The things that existed in your grandfather’s time have been re–arranged to conform to the new thought that exists in your time. There is new thought because there are newly incarnated beings upon your earth, who come with different intentions. This new thought is responsible for changing the environment in which you live, so there are new structures, new understandings, and so when you  walk upon your world in the present time, you observe different things and are surrounded by a different thought stream than your grandfather. All of these observable changes are the result of the changing thought of the consciousness inhabiting your world.

 

Q: OK on what you said about time, but the manifesting from the potential thing I don’t get.

You’re saying that we create everything we observe? That all 6 billion of us create a different world from the potential?

 

A: You don’t so much create as mold, invite, and change an already existing potential energy which is, for all practical purposes,  infinite.

 

Q: Yes, but there are such complex processes that keep the earth in balance. Who sees to the proper operation of  the geology, the atmosphere and weather, the magnetic field, all of the  vast and complex processes that keep  life on earth cocooned so precisely and within such defined parameters? It doesn’t seem likely that 6 billion humans who can’t even stop fighting, arguing and killing each other, and who aren’t aware most of them what they had for breakfast three days ago, can accomplish that.

 

A: That is correct, humans cannot do this. These processes were set up before you got here.

 

Q: By whom?

 

A: What you refer to in your essays as universal consciousness.  The planet itself is also conscious. Just as a human may affect the body’s systems through thought, so too can the earth affect its own systems.

 

Q: So we exist in a very complex matrix which has been provided for us and which creates the ‘default earth’ which we then, on an individual basis, modify with our own thoughts and actions?

 

A: Sort of. The matrix of creation exists, and  the interaction between all of you modify the common space you live in, and each of you modify that to suit your needs. The Law of Attraction (see Appendix A) manages all of the asking and answers according to the vibration, or frequency, of your request.

And realize that humans are not the only consciousness on the planet. Humans are sort of like viruses in the body of a very complex earth with many, many life forms, many of which you cannot perceive, or do not consider to be life forms at all.

 

Q: Viruses?

 

A: Viruses in the sense that a virus can mutate, change itself and affect its environment.

 

Q: That still doesn’t answer my original about time. I want to know if there is an independent time dimension that contains all of the moments of existence there ever was, which would enable us to go back or forward in time and relive them.

 

A: The question of time is a question of potential unmanifested, and potential manifested. At each point in space/time there are different potentials manifested, among an infinity of possibilities.

Physical humans can only interface with the manifested potentials within the ‘window’ that their sensory equipment allows. Your eyes and ears, for example, only receive a very limited amount of in formation.

 

Q: So humans, and science, can only observe a very small portion of what has been/is?

 

A: Yes, although you do a marvelous job of extrapolating  from your observations. We are amazed at some of the things you come up with.

 

Q: Like what?

 

A: Like your idea of parallel universes branching off from every individual decision. A parallel universe is a potential that has been/may be manifested. Your idea above, basically, except that this idea considers ALL potentials as having manifested!

 

Q: So all potentials do not manifest?

 

A: What manifests is what is experienced! What is not experienced remains a potential. For example, you apply for a new job and do not get it. What is the manifestation, and what is the potential? The potential was for you to get the job, or not to get it. What manifested was that you did not get it. So you continue to live your life in your present job. You cannot say that what manifested was both that you got the job, and that you did not! What manifests is what is experienced! If your experience is not getting the job, that is the reality for you. The idea of parallel universes says that you got the job and didn’t get the job, and the universe where you got the job is just as real to you as the universe that you are experiencing, and you are in both of them, consciously self aware in 2 separate universes. But you are you, not someone else! You are an aspect of universal consciousness that exists right now, and you are aware of yourself experiencing where you are right now. You cannot be experiencing in a universe where you experienced something, and also in one where you did not! Otherwise, you would not be you, because what is real to you is what you experience, do you see? The universe in which you got the job was just a potential that did not manifest, and so was not experienced.

The idea of parallel universes is a fascinating one, and, in fact, is very close to the truth (see later sessions), but we want to get the idea across to you that a manifestation is just a conscious being experiencing something, feeling something, perceiving something, and a potential is something that had a possibility of being experienced, but wasn’t.

 

Q: OK, that clears things up a little, anyway. Now for my next question!

Are there more than 3 spatial dimensions?  Or does the all–that–is just contain a vast amount of energy that is not detectable to our human senses and the instruments of science??

 

A: Define more clearly what you mean.

 

Q: Height, width and breadth are 3 dimensions. A 4th spatial dimension involves a 90 degree rotation out of the third dimension into a ‘hyper’ dimension, just like a 3rd dimension requires a 90 degree rotation out of the plane of the paper. So a 3 dimensional cube could be viewed as an infinite number of stacked 2 dimensional planes (because the 2 dimensional planes have no thickness), and a ‘hyper’ cube would be an infinite number of ‘stacked’ 3 dimensional cubes. If higher spatial dimensions exist, they could contain an infinite number of 3 dimensional universes. Some scientists say that in order to account for the total mass of the universe, energy has to be stored in ‘higher dimensions’ that we cannot perceive from our 3 dimensional perspective.

A: You cannot talk about dimension without talking about perception. A ‘higher dimension’ is just another way of saying: ‘I am perceiving differently.’

We access in your mind a man named Abbott in your 19th century who wrote a book called ‘Flatland’ about  2 dimensional beings. What he was saying is that these beings perceived according to a certain set of agreed upon rules. Their sensory equipment was tuned to experience on what you call ‘2 dimensions.’ Then he explained how a 3 dimensional sphere would appear to one of these ‘2 dimensional’ beings. What he was saying is that the ‘3 dimensional’ being could perceive in a broader way, whereas the ‘2 dimensional’ being was focused more narrowly. This is precisely what happens when consciousness focuses into a biological body on your planet (or any planet). Now  you may call this broader perspective  another ‘dimension’ if you want to, and try to nail it down to a certain set of mathematical rules, if it makes you feel better, but it doesn’t matter what you call it, it is just a different way of perceiving.

What we really want to get across to you, is that IF YOU CAN PERCEIVE IT, IT IS REAL. That should take care of a lot of other questions on the subject of dimension.

Placing a label on something  and attempting to quantify it and explain it to death and pigeonhole it, is a very amusing trait humans have. Then when you think you have it all explained, you write equations to determine its perceptual relationship to all of you forevermore and then you continually create it that way, so that it becomes more and more real to all of you. Then you become the slave of it, because since it is being observed over and over, it must be true; but it is true because you create it as true in every instant, which gets back to what we said before.

 

Q: So there really is no 4th spatial dimension?

 

A: There can be, if you can perceive differently. You can call it whatever you like.

 

Q: OK, then how do you change your perception to perceive a 4th dimensional object?

 

A: That is up to you. Anything is possible, if you desire the experience and allow it to happen. There aren’t very many of you who are willing to do that, and those that do, either think they are crazy, or others label them as crazy or nuts, because they are perceiving so very differently from the rest of you.

You see, it is all up to you. That is the message we really want to get across to you. There is an infinite potential which can be manifested in infinite ways, it all depends upon your imagination and your desire and vision.

 

Q: OK enough for tonight. more tomorrow.

 


 

     .  hypercube
I  Imagine a square. Move the square up into the 3rd dimension and you get a cube. The cube contains an infinite number of 2 dimensional squares, because the squares have no thickness. Move the cube in the ‘4th dimension’ and you get a hypercube, or 4 dimensional cube! Of course we really can’t diagram the hypercube accurately,  but the idea is that you an fit an infinite number of 3 dimensional cubes inside a 4 dimensional cube.                  

 

------------------------------------------------------------- (Session 2)

             More on Time

Q: Let me get back once more to the idea of time, and time travel. Let’s say a being has a lifetime in 1233 where he was known as ‘Joe,’ and another lifetime in 2002 where he is known as ‘Pete’. Both of them are equally real, and both must exist. It seems that in order to reconcile the two physical existences then parallel universes must exist.

If, as some say, time is just an illusion and everything is happening NOW, then both ‘Joe’ and ‘Pete’ must have an independent existence. They must both be living out their lives at the same time!

 

A:. While it is true that all things happen NOW, it is not true that everything that has ever existed occurs simultaneously! Let us put it this way: In 1233 thought was organized in a certain way concerning your planet and all that was upon it and in it, and from that thought, the potential was manifested into the environment you call ‘1233’ (in 1233 you had people living in huts and in 2002 you have people living in skyscrapers; it is all just a matter of how thought was organized).

But of course ‘1233’ was a continuously changing thing, as the thought of all consciousness evolved and changed, and thus changed the conditions of all that could be observed there and then. In 2002, the thoughts of consciousness are different, and so the face of your planet has changed to match this new thought.  But all that has really changed are the thoughts of the conscious entities which are associated with your planet, in all of their billions upon billions. As thought changes, conditions change. First there is thought, then comes action, you see.

The confusion on time is that the experience in ‘1233’ cannot be separated from the experience in ‘2002,’ it is just a changing of thought which results in different manifestations.

The important thing is thought, not the conditions that result from thought. Humans think that matter and energy are foremost in importance; humans are always saying: ‘prove it!,’ in other words, ‘show me an instantaneous change in matter and energy, or something already observable,  and I will believe in the validity of your idea,’ but it is consciousness which organizes thought, which determines what is manifested in the physical universe.

 

Q: Yes but the idea of time itself, and time travel, is that there is a 1233 separate from a 2002. What you seem to be saying is that there is no independent time dimension, but this is in disagreement with relativity and quantum mechanics, which rely on time as a 4th dimension to explain what we perceive in our universe.

 

A: Well, we are not trying to tell you what you should believe! We are attempting to answer your questions as best we can. What you have manifested upon your planet and in your societies are an exact match to the thoughts and beliefs in those societies! We assure you, the society of the Bushmen in Africa are much different than the society in the United States. And the society of the academic scientific community is much, much different from that of construction workers. You could certainly say, if you went to Africa and visited with our friends the Bushmen, that they lived in a different time, could you not? You might then say that there are different ‘time dimensions’ coexisting within and upon each other all over  your planet!

Time as you refer to it is just the decision to organize thought in a different way, which results in different observable conditions, that is what we want to say to you.

We also want to distinguish between something that was actually experienced, and something which was a potential, but never experienced. ‘1233’ was an experience for many aspects of universal consciousness, which we/they have the ability to remember, but as we said before, the matter and energy that composed their bodies and their houses and their tools and artwork, etc., have been recycled.

What has manifested has been experienced, and remembered, and it is known. Those who focused in 1233 experienced what they experienced, and  there would not be thought organized in such a particular way, ever again.  Do not make the mistake of believing that there are separate lumps of consciousness here, and separate lumps there. There is a stream of consciousness that you have been calling universal consciousness, which decides to BE in many different ways, and which focuses aspects, or extensions of itself into human bodies on earth. All is intimately connected!

All of universal consciousness has experienced through all who participated, that particular manifestation of reality (1233) has been thoroughly ingested and digested, as it were, and so it is not necessary to repeat it, ever again! We like variety, you see.

Humans might find it fascinating to think about traveling in time to some place that has already been experienced, but from your broader awareness you decided to experience now, in this energy, and you did not wish to rehash old experiences.

 

Q: But traveling in time is a wonderful new experience!! It is just a possible potential reality, isn’t it?

 

A: (smiles) Indeed it is! But you must remember that humans are not the only life forms that exist!  What about the birds and the rocks and the insects and the fish and the grains of sand, where are all of these life forms and things? In order to travel in time you must have thought organized exactly the way it was, in every instant that you experience this old time, and so must have the agreement of all to essentially recreate the same patterns of thought and vibration. We assure you, thought has evolved since 1233 on your planet, and it would not be possible to organize it in exactly the same way again.

 

Q: Yes, but I can imagine time travel and an independent time dimension, and if it can be imagined, it should be possible. That’s what I have read from other channelers, anyway! It should be possible to travel back to any time that exists in the potential of thought, if all is as you say.

I guess my question is, is there a universal record of all that has been experienced, so that it can be re-experienced?

 

A: Well there is the difficulty, from the human point of view. You see, we (all-that-is) don’t WANT to  re-experience! We want to grow, evolve, become more! We don’t want to go back to 1233 and relive that old stuff, and you, in your broader awareness, would really not like to do so either, we assure you! That is why you are experiencing now, right where you are. Enjoy yourself!!! You see, many humans think fondly about time travel with the idea that it would be nice to get away from their troubles. The idea is ‘oh, it would be so nice to go to 1233, I wouldn’t have to worry about money or that jerk I have for a boss, or my father-in-law, or all of my problems.’ But consider; when you are feeling wonderful, you would not like to be anywhere else than where you are right at the moment. Because it just feels so wonderful to be alive! It is that delicious feeling of loving life in the moment that is the reason for all experience.

We see you objecting that time travel can be undertaken from an orientation of excitement and adventure, and of course this is true, but we want to say to you that there is plenty of adventure to be had right where (and when) you are now.

The time travel  idea is fascinating, but is usually undertaken strictly from an intellectual standpoint. We tell you that the intellect can never be completely satisfied, for it’s purpose is to continually question.

 

Q: All right, lets drop that for now.  (More on this question in later sessions).

What is the value in focusing our awareness into physical bodies, anyway? It seems like there is so much grief and misery on our planet.

 

A: Well, when consciousness becomes very focused, as it does when you incarnate into a physical body, your awareness also becomes focused into a more intense (narrow?) perspective. You lose a broader awareness, but gain the amazing ability not only to rediscover and re–experience things you already know from your broader perspective, but you do so from an entirely different platform. The intensity of your feeling can be much more powerful.  You get to experience intense contrast, and find yourself, know yourself, experience yourself, relative to it; there is a poignancy in physical experiences that all who read this are well aware of!  When you are sad you can get SO sad, and when you feel elated, the feeling can be so powerful that the whole universe celebrates along with you!

From your broader perspective, focusing  your consciousness into human biology would be like agreeing to go white water canoeing for the first time with a bunch of pros, who take you out on a really fast, dangerous river with lots of rocks. Once you get in that boat you are committed, for better or for worse! Your consciousness is of necessity narrowed and focused to you, the boat, and the river. All else is excluded.

The experiences you have! The intense feelings! Its exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. That is the benefit of physical experience.

Of course the situation is a win-win. If you die against the rocks, you transition back to your place of eternal bliss in your broader awareness.

 

Q: OK that’s it for tonight.

---------------------------------------------------------
(Session 3)
     More on Time, Part II

Q:  ( I am back to the time thing again. I feel like they dodged my questions a little bit in the last session).

OK, if there is a universal  potential of infinite energy, as you have mentioned, then it seems to me that 1233 and 2002, any time in fact, can exist in this universal soup of energy and be accessed. So in fact you are really admitting the existence of parallel universes and the existence of a time dimension. If that is true then time travel should be possible.

 

A: (smiles) You are certainly persistent! We will try to tell you our knowing of these things once more, so that you may understand sufficiently.

The universal potential is the energy of thought, out of which manifests what consciousness perceives. Consciousness, broadly, is  aware of what it has already experienced, and has no interest in recreating what it has already experienced.

In every moment of time, everywhere in the universe, consciousness is organizing thought, which manifests from this potential of thought which has been  created and has been evolving ‘since the beginning of the universe,’ as you would say.

Each time ‘period’ is simply a snapshot of the decisions  of consciousness, and what they have created or manifested from the potential, everywhere in the universe.

There is no Big Plan that the universe is following.

Consciousness, on a universal scale, has the ability to know (remember) all that it has experienced.

A parallel universe is simply another way to organize thought and to perceive.  You may label that a ‘parallel universe’ or an ‘alternate reality’ or a different ‘dimension,’ whatever, if it makes you feel better!

You see, it makes no difference what you call it. By labeling something you do not increase your understanding of it, you simply limit it. In trying to understand something you must also limit it, because you must confine it to a bundle of thought that makes sense to you at your level of perception and awareness.

A label is a definition of something. It is a fixing of vibrational intent to a certain pattern of frequencies, which will then manifest that way for you out of the potential. So by labeling something you have limited your perception of it. Then you get confused because you want to tie a limited, defined vibration with all of the other limited vibrations you have created for yourselves, and then say ‘we have related all of this to the all-that-is.’ If you had a jigsaw puzzle with 5,000 pieces scattered all over the earth you could say, ‘reality is the pieces of this puzzle, because I have identified and understand these pieces, and I can visualize what it would be like for all of them to fit together.’ You DO get a coherent picture when you assemble the pieces, but you are missing everything else on the planet in the process! In human form you simply do not have the ability to perceive the fullness of all–that–is.

 

Q: OK I see that I am asking a question from a limited viewpoint, and that I am never going to get an answer that is satisfying.

 

A: Of course not, for you are trying to get The Answer which will be true forever, and that cannot happen. Rather than trying to figure it all out and get it all taped down, try just enjoying the experience of living!

The universe is eternal and can never be whittled down to a few fundamental ideas or elements. It is growing and expanding and dynamic. You are not ever going to get it all done.

You are never going to figure it all out.

If the universe ever got to the point where it was all done, all explained, everyone in it would turn the lights out and leave! If you ever figured it all out, it wouldn’t be growing anymore.

The universe grows because consciousness is continually creating new thought and manifesting new experiences from the potential. That’s what makes it so fun! There is far more ahead of you than behind you.

 

Q: OK we have come full circle. I still have the same questions I have before, especially, about time.

 

A: That is because you are writing your script as you go along. If you believe that time is like another spatial dimension, and enough of you on earth agree to that, then you may define whatever you want to manifest out of the potential, and call it anything you want, and experience it. The thing we want you to understand is that YOU ALL ARE CREATING YOUR OWN EXPERIENCES. As physical beings you cannot recreate the entire universe, but you have the ability to modify what is already there. You may call forth out of the energy soup anything you would like. You are in control, you are the designers of your experience. No one else is doing it to you or for you. God is not imposing itself into your experience. There is no RIGHT answer! There is just the opportunity to call forth new experiences, eternally. And you get to decide what those experiences are.

 

Q: Thank you.

(Session 3A)
       Science

Q: Science attempts to figure out the laws of the universe.  From your point of view, what is science?

 

A: As humans have defined it, science is based upon observation of what has already been manifested from the potential. It is a very good way to determine the history of thought, and the design of the universe FROM YOUR HUMAN PERSPECTIVE, but hard science is based only upon observation of what-already-is. According to science, only that which can be perceived and/or demonstrated right now is valid. In other words, a scientist says: ‘I have an idea about X. I will do an experiment to test whether my idea is valid.’

What the scientist will do is to conduct an experiment to see if X can be manifested, or has already been manifested (i.e., can it be observed). If the scientist cannot observe it, he then considers that idea X is invalid!

However, what the scientist is missing is his conscious connection to the potential. If a scientist originates an idea and tests it, he begins manifesting immediately  from the potential. The universe begins to respond to his intent, through thought, and matches him up  with data, energy and people of like vibration. To then say that since he has not yet observed idea X in manifested form, therefore idea X is invalid is like saying the water will not come out of the garden hose, because after 2 seconds he has not observed the water! When the scientist sits before his experiment he is co-creating in a sea of thought, an ocean of potential energy. The scientist’s ideas  for the outcome of the experiment, along with the previously organized and agreed-upon thought everywhere in the universe, form the possible potentials and direct the eventual manifestation of it.

This is how the evolution of science occurs, by gradually coming up with new ideas, agreeing to them, and then either rejecting them, thus preventing their manifestation, or manifesting them.

The more agreement on an idea by more conscious beings, the stronger the vibrational signal sent to the potential, and so the bigger is the resultant manifestation, which is always an  exact match to the sending signal.

Observation is perception of what-is (already manifested). A thought is by definition a creation because it is a packet (albeit very tiny) of energy. A thought adds to the total energy of the universe. Therefore conscious beings contribute to the evolvement of the universe. You see, mankind has it mostly backwards. Consciousness created the universe so it could be played in. The universe was designed so that the beings in it could alter it at will and so experience new things. That’s the fun of it! If the universe were just a static place, an environment where everything has already been figured out in advance, there would be no point. It would be like a hamster on a treadmill, continually doing the same things over and over. We are here to tell you that the universe is not like that. It is an eternally expanding playground.

 

Q: So trying to figure everything out is pointless?

 

A: It is not pointless if it gives you joy. But as soon as you think you have it all figured out, some new idea occurs to you and new experiences result from that new thought. Look at what happened in science at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, with the ideas of relativity and quantum mechanics. That resulted  in a whole new world–view and the possibility for new experiences based upon the change of consciousness that resulted form those ideas.

Q: OK, Thanks!

---------------------------------------------------------

(Session 4)

Consciousness

Q: If the universe exists as a potential energy from which conscious beings manifest, then what is matter and energy? What is matter and energy composed of?

 

A: Thought.

The universe has been designed by (what you refer to as) universal consciousness and over ‘time’ it has expanded and evolved through the thoughts of all conscious beings.

Every thought is energy and adds, ever so slightly, to the expansion of the universe, and to it’s gradual evolvement.

For example, your science says that the chair you sit on is composed of atoms and atoms are composed of smaller particles and those particles are composed of still smaller particles. Eventually you reach the level of thought.

A thought is the smallest energy packet there is, and it is a direct creation of consciousness.

Each thought can be considered to be a ‘vibration,’ or  combination of ‘vibrations.’ We use this word vibration because it is the closest word you have in your language to describe the essence of  aliveness. In your scientific model, atoms and the  particles that comprise them are constantly moving, oscillating within themselves, so the word ‘vibration’ is a good one. Thoughts are vibrational because they are alive, and they are alive because they are vibrational. A circular definition, but accurate.

 

Q: OK, but then what is consciousness? Is it energy?

 

A: Consciousness is that which creates thought and perceives what it has created. Consciousness creates vibrationally, and the universe of its creation is perceived or interpreted vibrationally. Vibration is intimate to perception; and all things physical, or perceivable, are vibrational in nature. Consciousness, like a radio tuned to a specific station, has the ability to focus vibrationally and perceive.

 

Q:  So then consciousness and thought are the same thing?

 

A: Essentially, yes. You are trying to differentiate and separate things that are not really separate, but which must be differentiated, otherwise you would not have a universe at all! You see the whole thing is reflexive, coming back in on itself. Existence is the creation of consciousness, and reflects the eternal and self–reflexive nature of consciousness. Existence is simply perception. Perception requires something to perceive, and that ‘thing’ is thought, in all of its unimaginably complex and beautiful patterns! The reason for consciousness, for self–awareness, is perception, for without something ‘other’ to look at, awareness is pointless.

There is an intimate connection between everything in existence and consciousness itself. Space is just the creation of consciousness via thought. An object is composed, ultimately, of ‘organized’ thought. Therefore, space is not empty. It is filled with the vibrations that consciousness has created. It is alive! Matter and energy are simply different combinations of thought into various templates, all designed by consciousness.

So you see, from your point of view our explanations are always circular We always wind up saying essentially the same thing, over and over, in different words and by taking different routes. For your understanding, the truth is a circle: begin and end are at the same point, yet there is no begin and end, really.

 

Q: Is the universe closed, open, or saddle-shaped?

 

A: It is whatever you are perceiving from your vibrational vantage point. You see, it all depends upon your point of view/level of consciousness. You may mold the potential any way you see fit. Have you ever noticed that when you increase your awareness you perceive differently? When you were a child, the street you lived on seemed like the whole world; everything that happened was contained within it. When you entered school the world seemed to expand  radically, and it took you a while to adjust. As you change your ideas about the universe you expand your awareness of it, and it changes to match your preferences.

 

Q: Are we merely observing the universe, or creating it?

 

A: Both. Remember that from your human viewpoint, your conception of the universe must be limited. That is because consciousness, when it becomes associated with physical bodies, perceives through the body’s limiting sensors. Therefore, you are only perceiving a miniscule portion of the universe.

 

Q: OK. What is this potential you keep talking about?

 

A: The potential is the virtual ‘soup’ of vibration, or potential energy, out of which anything you desire to experience may be called forth. It is –– we will say in terms you can understand –– the combined thought from consciousness since the beginning of the universe.

 

Q: It sounds like magic.

 

A: It IS magic! But humans limit themselves to a tiny fraction of their true potential. This is because of the habit you have of wanting to only consider valid that which has already manifested, that which is observable; also, your habit of wanting to label everything and get it figured out for all time. Humans are fond of proposing laws of nature (and human behavior) that must be fixed for all time. You call this ‘human nature.’ If someone changes his or her behavior patterns, you call that person ‘inconsistent,’ or ‘impulsive,’ but the ability to change your mind is a quintessential property of consciousness.

If only you could realize the true potential of human nature! You would all be astounded at what you are potentially capable of.

But of course this is understandable since you are all out here on the leading edge of experience. You are limited greatly by your human sensors. So you are able to perceive  only a tiny fraction of everything-that-is, as we have mentioned before. But we are here to remind you that you are far more than you have led yourselves to believe.

 

Q: Yes but what you are saying is that we are capable of anything. That’s ridiculous. We can’t instantly manifest out of this potential anything we would wish.  If that were true I’d have a couple billion dollars!

 

A: Not with your present state of consciousness.

 

Q: Are you saying its possible?

 

A: Anything is possible. But this question is far beyond the present state of consciousness of humans.

 

Q: OK, I get your drift.

-----------------------------------------------------
(Session 5)
 

The "Earth Plane"

Q: So basically what you are saying is that there is no RIGHT answer.

 

A: That is correct! A right answer would be defined by many humans as something that has manifested, or that will be true forever. But it is possible to manifest anything from the potential. So everything has the potential to be right.

 

Q: OK, I am beginning to see now. When we say someone is wrong, what we are saying is that he or she has not yet manifested his idea.

 

A: Or, that he has not gotten broad agreement from other humans upon that idea.

As more and more beings agree on ‘A’, the more powerful is the drawing forth from the potential. The more who manifest ‘A’, the more it is agreed upon as valid. Anything at all can be manifested, and is being manifested, in worlds and dimensions totally beyond your understanding! The universe is so vast, so bold, so wonderful! (Here I felt a powerful sensation. I can only describe it is a fresh breeze –– an exciting feeling of creative power).

 

Q: So we can sum up by saying that life exists  in a vast ocean of infinite potential, and that we can experience anything we want.

 

A: That is a good way to describe it. As a final thought, we would like to say: do not limit yourself! Use your creative power to joyfully manifest your dreams.

And also we would like to say: the universe is a joyful place! It is a place of indescribable beauty. If it were not, there would be no point in experiencing it. Humans love to struggle, but we assure you, that is not a concept shared by many others throughout the all-that-is.

You are not here learning lessons. You came here to joyfully create and manifest!

We mentioned before that humans are on the leading edge of thought. By this we mean, you are on the furthest edge of what has been created from the potential. There is much contrast and diversity in your environment. You could say that your physical environment is a thought-amplifier. By this we mean that the incredible contrast produces intense desire within you, and these powerful desires are shooting off from you many times every day.

Your desire for something is always strongest when you don’t have it, for in the having of it, your desire has been satisfied! When a person living in a squalid apartment first sees a picture of his wonderful dream house, that is when his desire is at its height, do you see? Since thought has energy, and everything in the universe is ultimately composed of thought, you can see that humans are contributing powerfully to the expansion of the universe. Your problems and your difficulties place you in a position for powerful, powerful wanting. Six billion of you shooting off pulses of desire in every moment! That is a powerful thing. That is what we mean by a ‘thought amplifier.’ Every human is like a pulsar! You send off vibrational information to the rest of the universe, and the universe always responds in kind.

The contrast you deplore so much is the greatest impetus for your eventual having. No one is more desirous of peace than when he or she is living in a war zone; no one is more desirous of wealth than those who are living in poverty; no one is more desirous of health than the one who is very ill.

If you could only see the vortexes of energy which surround you at these times of powerful wanting! We see the potential for a change of circumstances at its very highest at these times; the only difficulty is that those who are living lives so different from what is wanted often do not allow the powerful response from the universe, and so those persons continue to create and manifest their lives from their currently observed reality.  Things can never change because nothing new is ever envisioned!

 

Q: Well now we’ve started another thread. I want to ask you whether this thought–amplifier called earth is here because there is something wrong with the universe and we are here to  fix it. What’s the point of having a place  like earth with so much pain and struggle in a universe which you claim is one of joy, unless there is something dire or urgent out there that needs handling?  I have heard it said that earth is the dumping ground for negative stuff from everywhere in the universe, because no one knows what to do with it.

 

A: We see you modified your thought from ‘I see so much pain and struggle’ to ‘there is so much pain and struggle.’ We know why you did this, and so do you: because when you begin to connect with the powerful energy of creation, you begin to resonate more and more with joy, and so in your life you begin to see more and more joy, more and more prosperity, and less and less struggle and pain. If the universe were a place of pain, this could never happen. The default condition everywhere in the universe, all dimensions of perception, is joy, beauty, and love. These feelings are woven into the very fabric of existence.

‘Negative energy’ does not exist. What feels negative is just resistance to the positive life force.

When you get into trouble it is always because of your attention to it. Thoughts of unworthiness or self denial are not in consort with the true nature of consciousness. Life force energy is pure and positive and comes with a feeling of well–being. The feeling of  ‘negative energy’ is just the inherent nature of your very being screaming to you that your thoughts and beliefs and ideas about yourself are inconsistent with your very nature.

 

Q: Yes, that’s  very good, but why do so many struggle? A famous writer asserts that a controlling group of entities manipulate the thought–space around earth from a higher dimension. It does seem that mass consciousness is composed of mostly negative ideas and limiting beliefs.

 

A: The answer to this is that you may manifest anything you would like from the potential, and the Law of Attraction will bring to you beings, energies, and conditions to match your thoughts, beliefs and feelings. The state of affairs on planet earth is always an exact match to the collective consciousness of the beings upon it.

 

Q: Yes, but if that consciousness were to be affected by others? By the insertion or ‘implantation’ of negative ideas in order to facilitate control and domination?

 

A: Again, only those thoughts, beliefs, energies and beings that have been invited can come to you. That is how the universe has been designed. The universe has been designed to allow all experiences, all thought, all feeling. This is a universe of free-will.

 

Q: So you are saying that IF there are hostile beings from other planets or dimensions,  we have invited them?

 

A: That’s right.

 

Q: But do these off-planet beings exist? Are there beings (whom we invited)  who are wreaking havoc with the potential around our planet?

 

A: Every being that is on, in or around the earth is here according to a ‘mix and match’ of vibrational intent. It is all in perfect balance, and in a constant change of flux. If the people of earth would like to change their collective experience, all that is necessary is to change thought, to choose differently. Its all so perfect! There is nothing broken on earth.

 

Q: What if I want to change my experience and the other 6 billion don’t?

 

A: Then your experience will change and theirs will not. Life is not a zero–sum game. You have touched on that in some of your essays. If you are abundant, does that mean another must be poor?  Of course not! There is an infinite sea of potential which can be accessed from anywhere in the universe. Your prosperity is dependent upon how much you ask for it, and how much you allow it. The predominant belief on earth for most is one of scarcity. Most do not ask for prosperity, thinking that it is not possible.

As we said to Esther, if you are healthy, do you deprive another of health? If you become ill, does the health you would have had transfer to someone else?

If you are intelligent, does that mean someone else must be stupid? Do you say, ‘I will be confused for a few weeks and allow others to be smart?’ It just doesn’t work that way! The universe is infinitely abundant in all things and in order to enjoy that abundance, all you must do is ask for it, and allow it to come to you.

 

Q: OK. So the  ‘earth is a prison and humans are the inmates and higher dimensional beings are the wardens’ is not true?

 

A: There are beings of all types and energies on in and around your planet. There is no jail and warden scenario, because all of you have free will and can ask and receive anything you want. If there are humans who are not enjoying their experience, all that is necessary is to ask for something different, and allow it to manifest.

 

Q: OK, I am really getting the idea. There is just free will.

Every time I say a negative, you turn it around and put a positive spin on it.

 

A: (Laughing) Well that is because the universe IS positive! Your negative ideas are just resistance to the natural, inherent,  benign state of the universe!

 

(Here the thought forms, energy, inspiration, whatever you want to call it, stopped, so I will end off for now).

---------------------------------------------------------------

(Session 7)

The Law of Attraction  vs The Laws of Matter

(Editors Note: The Law of Attraction states that ‘like attracts like.’ See Appendix A).

Q: You say that the Law of Attraction is a universal law. Yet a simple experiment with a battery and two metal-plated spheres connected by wires will serve to disprove this. If you hook the 2 terminals of the battery each to a different sphere hanging by a wire, those spheres repel each other. However, if you connect each sphere to the same terminal of the battery, the spheres repel. This shows clearly that like charges repel, and opposite charges attract.  This can also be seen by placing the North pole of 2 magnets near each other and watching them repel. How does your statement reconcile with these experimental facts?

 

A: The positive and negative  you refer to are simply aspects of the same kind of energy. The charges and atoms science refers to are metaphors. At one pole there is a surplus of energy relative to the other pole. This creates a tension between the two, which activates the space between them and provides a potential.

Science has not yet discovered the intimate, completely interconnected relationship between what you call electromagnetic energy, gravity, light, and what you refer to as nuclear forces. When you do, the contradictions and gaps in your  science will resolve. For now, accept that the law of ‘like attracts like’ is valid for the life experience of every human and can be successfully applied so that all that you want may come to you.

 

Q: Doesn’t sound convincing to me. If the atom is a metaphor, then how come the sun and planets are arranged exactly according to the atomic model? As above so below, the universe is in balance as you like to say. The atomic model has been able to precisely explain so many phenomena and to predict behavior of matter and energy.

 

A: As we said before, matter and energy are composed, ultimately, of thought. Therefore, the energy in your subatomic particles is the same, which means that the elements in your Periodic Table are composed of the same energy, arranged differently. In other words, ‘copper energy’ is not different than ‘iron energy!’

The physical interactions that are observed are the result of the collective agreements of consciousness at the present time. In other civilizations on earth, long before the present earth civilization, other cultures had different ideas about matter and energy and their conscious relation to the world around them. These civilizations were able to manipulate matter and energy with far more ease than your present civilization. You may attribute that to superior understanding of already existing universal forces, but we prefer to say that their understanding drew forth from the potential, different relationships between matter, energy and consciousness, different programming for the local space/time which establishes the laws of matter and energy (physics).

 

Q: So you’re saying that consciousness can actually alter the physical laws of matter and energy?

 

A: Of course! That is what we have been saying all along!

It may seem absurd to humans on the planet earth at this time but we assure you that the universe is massively varied and contains realities that you cannot even conceive of from the human perspective. This is not bad, we are not criticizing, but we are amused at how shocked humans are when anyone suggests that consciousness may alter physical laws or modify matter and energy. That was the whole point of constructing the universe!
