Perception in the Non Physical Realm

Hi guys!

Hello!

I was thinking of a name for this group, and I decided that the ‘Gang Of Six’ would be a good one.

Ho Ho!!! (Dragon likes that one).

Now that our relationship has changed and I can get the separate energy of each of you, I want to ask Arsenio a question.

Arsenio, would you describe to me, for our readers, what it is like to experience in the non-physical state? Delver has given us a very good description of how a non–physical being gets around the universe. However, I especially want to know how you guys see and experience. Delver has said that a non–corporeal being perceives in a richer and more detailed way.

That is a very good question; this is a subject I can really warm up to! First of all, let me say that perception in a human body is more ‘concentrated.’ We see a vast spectrum of vibration, and although the physical experience is very intense, very often human beings are not in the moment to enjoy perception to its fullest. In fact, sometimes a place like earth can be quite overwhelming! However, I have to say that there is nothing like being fully conscious and focused into a human body for the sheer POWER of perception. The solidity or reality of perception is a function of how ‘tuned–in’ you are to it.

We have the ability to finely alter our perception and really intensify our experiences. We perceive more broadly than humans, because we have a greater range of perception. However, the ‘feel’ of our experiences is lighter, more relaxed. In another sense it is far realer, because our vibrational sensors have a far greater range and we have control over what we choose to let in. Your human senses define and interpret for you!

In the physical universe, manipulation of the environment is far more difficult. The raw materials are h–e–a–v–i–e–r and movement is s–l–o–w–e–r. We interact directly with the vibrational materials of our world. Although it is possible for us to focus narrowly and mimic the intensity of physical experience, it is not the same. The vibrational concentration in the physical universe is much higher; like an essence oil, it takes many thousands of flowers to make a small bottle. There is much thought that has gone into the construction of the physical universe and I mean that literally! As for how it feels to us, that is impossible to describe in language. When the gas escapes from its container it is exposed to the big wide world outside the walls of its former enclosure. When you make your transition you will, as delver said, have to get used to a much broader range of sensory experience.

Delver said that in order to go anywhere you have to vibrationally alter your entire being. So how do you get NEW experiences if you can only be aware of those things you already know about? In other words, you can’t go someplace if you don’t know where or what it is! In a science fiction novel, Alfred Bester referred to such a journey as a ‘blue jaunt;’ a trip to nowhere. Couldn’t you get lost?

(smiles) When you look on a map there are always reference points between where you are and where you’re going; similarly, there are vibrational reference points in all of our journeys.

Explain.

Imagine a montage of images floating into and out of your awareness. When your vibrational frame of reference changes, your perception changes. You always know ‘where’ you came from and where you are; just like on a vacation drive, you may stop at points along the way that are of interest. Very often we do NOT know where we are going; that is the exciting part for me. However, we are never in danger, just as a person who jumps into his car without a specific destination is not in danger. We cannot fall off the end of the world!

Wow. It sounds like traveling is far easier than on earth.

Yes it is. We are our own vehicles.

Explain to me a little more about that. Delver mentioned that a native state being is a sort of lightship or container of consciousness.

That is true! The capability of your sphere of consciousness is beyond human comprehension. Just as the human body has solidity or reality but is dependent upon the atmosphere, sunlight, and a proper environment for its sustenance, so too does a native state being appear to have a defined radius of awareness. However, the lightship or sphere of consciousness IS also part of what you might call the universal field of consciousness. If we were to model the native state being from a physical standpoint we would say that it is defined for a distinct radius, but extends outward to the entirety of the All and is symbiotically linked to the whole. In this way there can be individual personalities and at the same time, a feeling of oneness.

The human debate over the idea of ‘free will’ is funny to me. When you return to Native State you discover that there is nothing BUT free will and free choice. In order to experience ANYTHING it is necessary to be mindful and to have control of your personal vibrational orientation.

Wow! Is there any ‘territory’ marked out by certain groups that you have to be wary of? Or any toll roads or taxes collected to participate in certain activities?

No taxes or toll roads I am aware of.

‘Territory’ is ‘marked’ simply by the intent of any who participate. The thoughts of any and all set up a vibrational pattern that is recognized, and just like on earth, the various signals are managed by the rule of ‘like attracts like.’

What would happen if you decided to crash one of those groups and break up their game? Would you get pushed around?

It does not work that way. In order to perceive and experience there must be vibrational commitment. It would not be possible for me to ‘barge in,’ as you say, because connected to such a vibration is resistance which would prevent complete access to such beings. That is how the concept of ‘like attracts like’ protects every being in the universe from unwanted intrusion.

I do not think of such things because I only participate in activities that interest me. There is so much to do that I cannot possibly get to it all and I don’t want to waste my time barging in on beings that don’t want me in their game, or I them.

But I thought that everybody loved each other?

We do! But that doesn’t mean that every being in the universe just hangs out in one big clump! We all have our separate interests!

But there are no psychotic games, like trying to twist somebody’s non–physical head off, or to gain power over others?

That is a silly question, because of what I just said.

What’s the most important difference in perception between being in a body on earth, and in native state?

I’d have to say the single biggest difference, from my perspective, is the sense of freedom. I value my freedom to go anywhere and do anything very highly. I would not care to come to an environment such as earth, where even to drive a car one has to pay a ‘license fee.’

What sort of stuff do you see up there?

(smiles like a parent would to a loved child) Well, whatever is in my view screen; that is, whatever is in my vibrational range. My thoughts and desires put me in the places I want to go.

Do you create anything? Is there any art up there?

Oh there are magnificent creations! We ourselves are magnificent creations of light!

There are creations of light and vibration in all shapes and forms. The impulses for creativity on earth come from your connection to source, just as for us.

How do you create? Do you just say ‘abracadabra, give me a paint brush’ and it appears in your hand? How hard do you have to work at creating, say, a light sculpture?

Again, that is a silly question. If you want to build a house, do you say ‘abracadabra let there be a house?’

Of course not! But it is much more difficult to create something in the physical universe, you said so yourself. It’s gotta be easier for you than for us.

(sigh) How do you build a house?

Well, first you have to have a blueprint…

Correct. There must be a detailed blueprint in order to even begin…

Yes but…

No buts! How successful would a child be if it tried to design a house?

Not very successful I’d imagine.

Why not?

Well, because the child has no understanding of a house…Oh, I get it.

Yes. There must be complete understanding of the creation before it can manifest. In order to build the ocean liner, there must be knowledge of every part and how to build each part and how to connect it to the whole. A physical creation is just a representation of thought. There is no difference in creation in the physical realm and in the non–physical realm. In the physical universe you just have some added steps.

Right. Like paying the architect and going to the lumber yard and hiring all of the contractors.

Yes. Just like on earth, however, there is a huge database of knowledge concerning what has gone before. However, it is not possible to think vague thoughts and have something manifest. You have to know what you are doing! You cannot create the Notre Dame cathedral from a child’s drawing! Full understanding of what is to be created is necessary, just like on earth. You must have a correct blueprint!

Some think it is more fun on earth because there one has to learn how to mold the material one is working with to a greater degree than with us. There is often more skill required. That is why Michelangelo’s Pieta is celebrated throughout the universe! To be able to chip away at a solid stone and make that stone look like soft flesh is a remarkable achievement. There is more persistence needed on earth to create something than is required here, although the process is the same: the organization of thought into a precise vision of what is wanted.

OK, I get it! That was very good.

(Postscript and Comment)

It seems I assign mysterious qualities to beings who are not physical, as if non–physical beings were somehow completely different. I guess we have more in common than I thought.

(Session 4)

Consciousness

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

Thought.

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 a direct creation of consciousness and so it is the most fundamental perceivable unit or quanta.

Each thought can be considered to be a ‘vibration,’ or combination of ‘vibrations.’ We use the 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.

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

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.

So then, consciousness and thought are the same thing?

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 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 geometrical arrangements.

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 once the circle is completed there is no begin and end.

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

It is whatever you are perceiving from your vibrational vantage point. You see, it all depends upon your point of view/level of consciousness. 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 in turn changes to match your preferences.

Are we merely observing the universe, or creating it?

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 senses. Therefore, you are only perceiving a miniscule portion of the universe.

OK. What is this potential you keep talking about?

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.

It sounds like magic.

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 and 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. 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. Consistent behavior is often robotic, or unmindful behavior.

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.

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!

Not with your present state of consciousness.

Are you saying its possible?

Anything is possible. But first you must change your state of being.

OK, I get your drift. You can’t just snap your fingers and get what you want. You actually have to work for it.

Well, your work is the alignment of your own energy to what you desire. The vibrational matching property of the universe assists you, and it is very powerful assistance, we assure you. That’s a lot different than running around like a chicken with your head cut off, engaging in actions that are not aligned to the goal.

(Session 5)

The ‘Earth Plane’

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

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.

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.

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 and so wonderful! (Here I felt a powerful sensation. I can only describe it is a fresh breeze –– an exciting feeling of creative power).

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.

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 throughout the all–that–is. But of course that is why this place is so interesting!

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

I respectfully disagree. The earth is a place of pain and struggle! What’s the point of having a place like earth in a universe which you claim is one of joy? 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. I have also heard it said that human beings are like Barbary Coast pirates sent here to work off our bed karma. Both of these explanations make some sense.

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 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, in 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.

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.

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.

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?

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 and attraction.

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

That’s right.

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

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.

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

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. 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.

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

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 you find yourself in prison, you have voluntarily committed yourself!

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.

(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 78)

Trapped Beings

There are many who believe that the non–physical state, like earth, has disconnected beings, crazy beings who can feel just as rotten there as here, evil beings who attempt to seduce physical beings into acts of depravity, as in devil worship and black magic. These beings supposedly exist on a plane that is halfway between the physical and the non–physical. The movies ‘The Sixth Sense’ and ‘What Dreams May Come’ dramatized this idea. A book written by a substance abuse counselor says that often a heavy drinker or drug user will deliberately not transition, because he or she loves the drug fix so much and cannot let go of their addiction.

Is it really true that everyone transitions fully back to source? After all we live in a free will universe, and beings may choose to do whatever they wish.

Let us ask you: now that you have interacted with us and allowed the energy of source to flow through you, would you ever want to hold on to anything like that?

No. Definitely not, But I am not a psycho or an addict — my intent is always to experience as joyfully as I can. But I can remember a time when I was really into hatred and negativity — and there are a lot of people who love the energy of depravity. It is second nature to them.

Addictions, psychoses, all such sensations only exist in connection with a physical existence. Addictions to drugs and alcohol are caused by the need to dull and soothe a feeling of discomfort brought about by resistance to life experience. Addictions, hatred and other lower emotions result from a habitual pattern of disconnect from source. Those who have had a difficult time on earth only experience an even more powerful release from their self–created bondage. Like an irresistible magnetic force, well–being draws a being towards it –– once again the law of ‘like attracts like’ comes into play. That which is innately joyful is attracted to joy!

But these people have resisted for so long, they will never stop resisting — that is the reason for ‘trapped’ beings and those who hang around in their negative state wishing to entrap others.

That is mankind’s fiction. Many do not know how to allow their true nature and they project that onto everyone else! We assure you, everyone transitions fully without exception. The overwhelming property of this universe, and of consciousness itself, is utter joy and well–being –– you are inherently pure and positive; that simply is just the way it is. You may consider that a universal principle. In fact it is the First Principle –– for consciousness created the all–that–is and everything in it.

We want to state the following in the most emphatic manner possible:

(1) There is no death –– there is always a continuation of consciousness, for consciousness is eternal.

(2) The emergence from the physical is perceived by a being as so perfect, so utterly natural, so RIGHT, that no being ever, for even a millisecond, has any doubt about deciding to return fully to native state.

(3) Clairvoyants and other sensitives who pick up on the thought forms of entrapment, discomfort, or addiction are receiving the thoughts of the person BEFORE transition was made. There is always a full return to source, do you understand????

(4) Therefore, there is no karma or ‘original sin.’ You are adored and loved beyond your knowing.

OK, I got that! (They are very emphatic). Lets talk about more about the First Principle, as you call it.

The principle is simply that consciousness is itself quintessentially blissful and perceives itself that way.

Yes, but consciousness has free will and may know itself as anything! When consciousness decides to know itself as degraded, that is what it will experience — therefore, to say that consciousness always experiences blissfully is not true.

The inherent nature of consciousness is positive –– that is simply a fact that we know absolutely. It is, as you might say, the ‘default condition’ for consciousness. Extreme discomfort can only be experienced when one enters a leading–edge environment like earth, where consciousness is narrowly focused in such a way that it is possible to fill ones entire perceptual viewscreen with thoughts and feelings that are counter to your inherent divinity. However, the narrowly focused points of view are joyously thrown away in the transition back to native state.

The pitiful ‘high’ from drugs or alcohol –– or any addiction –– is insignificant compared to the ‘fix’ of pure positive source energy. You are your own most wonderful drug!!

How does the Law of Attraction arise from the First Principle?

The Law of Attraction arises as an inherent or innate condition of thought itself. Thought proceeds directly from consciousness; it is pure love and joy and it automatically wants to associate. Physical or perceivable things have different properties depending upon the internal arrangement or geometry or patterns of thought that compose it. We have talked about this before. Underlying everything in the universe is a sort of innate magnetic attraction as it comes forth from the soup or sea of potential that has been created by consciousness. In other words, all vibration comes forth from this soup and is connected to it, therefore, all things have an intrinsic association. Therefore, the all–that–is is fundamentally attraction based. Repulsion and attraction occur as a result of the desire for all things to seek balance. Form results from internal geometry. ‘Like attracts like’ is an inevitable result of the vibrational interaction of that which is positive and joyful in nature.

Good explanation!

Are there are other universes besides this one?

You are asking the wrong question! The universe that you perceive is always a result of your vibrational platform of perception. When you change yourself, what you perceive also changes. We have discussed this in detail in previous conversations.

There are as many universes as can be conceived. You see, a universe can be just one thinker, and depending upon the thought of that thinker, there can be a different beginning point or a set of initial conditions. Just as a culture can be placed into a petrie dish, so to does thought expand. Because the ‘seed thought’ is conscious it may generate other thoughts, which generate more and more and more… you see how fast this can expand! At the speed of thought! It makes the culture in the petrie dish seem as slow as a turtle.

Wow! So how many universes are there?

(laughs) You are incorrigible, aren’t you? Well, there is not a ‘container’ for everything as you are thinking, with each universe neatly labeled and understood by the Perfect Being in the Sky. Let us say that there is so much creation going on that the expansion of thought is endless.

Whew! OK, this is blowing my mind.
