The Human Energy Field, Part
II
(With a Discussion of Ascension)
Ascension
The idea of ascension is one which many channels and spiritual
people are talking about these days; a common definition of ascension
might be: elevating
the dense physical body into a lightbody; when this
happens, planet earth and those upon it will have reached a higher
state of vibration and negative manifestations such as war, hatred,
poverty, and illness will disappear.
Ascension means reaching a higher dimensional state; implicit in the
idea of ascension is the assumption that the present level of polarity
and denseness is unacceptable and undesirable.
Ascension contains within it however, a massive contradiction:
when all ascend, physical reality is no longer necessary and the
game is
over!
Is it possible that consciousness (us) in our infinite wisdom, created
a vast physical playground only to abandon it? Is it possible that the
universal intelligence which created our physical reality made a
mistake and created inappropriately? Maybe, but I don't really think so!
Let's look at ascension from the standpoint of consciousness and
universal law.
We have talked previously about the human energy field (HEF).
The HEF is the lightbody.
The physical body which we perceive is not separate from our lightbody;
we do not need to evolve it into anything, for it is simply the portion
of the HEF that we have chosen, vibrationally, to perceive. In other
words, the HEF contains the physical body, the templates for the design
of the physical body, and the lightbody, all in one package!
The only
reason we perceive the physical body as solid and the rest of the
human energy field as invisible is because we are
vibrationally attuned to the body and perceive with its senses.
When a camera focuses close-up, the background goes fuzzy, and
vice-versa. We do not deny the reality of foreground, or background,
because we are temporarily unable to perceive it!
If we carry this analogy just a little further, we can focus
our camera exclusively on an object in the foreground and lose entirely
everything
in the background. That is what happens when consciousness focuses into
the body; we become so attuned to that portion of the human energy
field called the body that we cannot perceive the rest of it!
In some circles ascension has become popular because often life
seems too hard; some see ascension as a "way out" of the physical
experience, and that is understandable even though all of us incarnated
here eagerly; anticipating
a grand experience.
True ascension, however, is not abandoning our physical lives in hope
of
something better,
but embracing them.
Ascension is connection with the glory of the human energy field
(lightbody) (you)
which surrounds us all. All
of us have activated lightbodies for
if we did not, we would not be alive. Everyone living, from the highest
guru to the lowest drunk in the gutter, has an equally glorious
lightbody.
The only difference is, the guru has eliminated the resistance to his
life and does not engage in the self-limiting thought which brings
forth misery and pain.
I will make you a guarantee: every single situation or experience
of negative emotion on our planet, by anyone, is caused by
self-limiting thought (or self-denial, there are probably many terms
for it). That is because the human energy field is composed of
life force energy, the energy of consciousness itself, which is
beautiful and wonderful and feels just absolutely delicious; and when
one does not resist this energy, does not block or distort its path to
the body, we enjoy perfect health, emotional well-being and
vitality. The work of Deepak Chopra (and others) makes this quite clear.
The Human Energy Field /
Lightbody / Sphere of Consciousness
The human energy field is entirely self-contained and self-sustaining.
Because it is vibrating at the level of consciousness itself, it cannot
be affected by weaponry, or, for that matter, any energy that exists in
the physical universe: the lightbody (or sphere of consciousness) is
vibrating so high that it is effectively outside of time and space! For
this reason the HEF is essentially a quality, not a
quantity; in other words, it possesses unheard of capabilities and is
itself so refined that it can be the creator and manipulator of matter
and energy, but exists at total cause point in relation to it.
That is why sacred texts refer to the sphere of consciousness as the
alpha and the omega, that which creates the physical universe, but
which is not bound by its limitations (actually the Bible refers to the
alpha and omega as God, but I think it means the lightbody).
That is why one can experience altered states of consciousness where
time seems to disappear and where direct manipulation, or tremendous
control, of the physical universe can be demonstrated.
The great athlete "in the zone" demonstrates the latter, whereas
a
bloke like Uri Geller demonstrates the former: the bending of the spoon
using only the abilities of consciousness itself. I believe we
all have these abilities latent within us, we are just trained
out of it from birth.
When
we fully know ourselves, we transcend the physical universe itself.
This is what the great masters and holy men have told us continuously:
"Know thyself, and the truth shall set you free."
(When I refer to the human energy field, the
lightbody and
the sphere of consciousness, I am not arrogantly referring only to
human beings. All life forms have similar fields of life force energy
surrounding them as well).
Anything we can observe about the lightbody with instrumentation is an
energy manifestation at a lower harmonic; Kirlian photography, for
example, claims to show an electromagnetic component, or harmonic, of
the
lightbody as it interacts with the physical universe. [Author's Note:
Those who discount Kirlian photography point out that such fields exist
even when an object is photographed in a vacuum. Since nothing
biological can live in a vacuum, these objections are reasonable. In my
conception of the universe, however, ALL things are conscious, because
all things are composed of thought. Therefore, even so-called "dead"
objects like rocks have a subtle energy field surrounding them,
otherwise they couldn't exist. Whether or not Kirlian photography is
actually measuring an electromagnetric component of a subtle energy
field is open to debate].
As I have previously said in other essays, the fabric of space itself
is an ocean of life force
energy; an invisible but infinitely sensitive vibrational medium which
is the foundation for the construction of every physical object in our
universe. Just as a vibrating piano key or a plucked guitar string
carries higher and lower harmonics of the fundamental note, so too does
the universal medium manifest vibrational energies at many, many, many
different harmonics. One of these harmonics of energy is the
electromagnetic spectrum, which contains the vibrations of visible
light.
I am willing to bet that science will eventually
find an
electromagnetic component associated with all physical and biological
structure. This
electromagnetic component will itself be a lower harmonic of the
fantastically high vibrational energy of the HEF.
Many scientists are beginning to recognize a
background energy which
seems to pervade the universe, a fundamental vibration which the
ancients called the OM and which has been called the quantum background
particle flux, or zero-point energy, or the aether.
A tornado, for example, may be the atmospheric manifestation of a
toroidal field of aetheric energy which shapes the molecules of air
into a vortex.
Torus
Tornadoes. As the torus spins, it generates a vortex of energy which
flows through the middle.
I am talking about the HEF in this way in order to make us aware of how
truly powerful we are, at least potentially! (One has to be aware of
potential before it can be used).
The HEF, being vibrationally
transcendent, cannot be affected by anyone or anything in the universe
except you!
This puts you at total cause point in your relationship to life.
I'm also talking about it in this way in order to remove some of the
mystery. For millennia we have been taught that only by the arduous
procedures of this mystery school or that discipline, or this
religion, can we know God and discover our true selves. But
might it be possible to actually know our "Higher Selves," at least a
little bit, while still incarnated in our bodies?
The human energy field can be modeled as a
self-reflexive, toroidal
sphere of life force energy.
The body's autonomic function can be modeled by a similar, but smaller
toroidal sphere within the larger one, which contains design templates
for the body and every organ and cell in it, and for the body's
maintenance;
upon physical death, the smaller
sphere is unmocked and full realization of the larger lightbody is
experienced.
Death, then, is just a transition from a more intense
way
of experiencing to a broader awareness. Death is simply a
transfer of focus, a broadening of our vibrational awareness, to
include the entire human energy field (and perhaps beyond).
To ascend while still in the body is to regain awareness of the
lightbody. There can be no true separation between a physical
experience and an
ascended experience! A physical experience is an addition
to, not a detraction from, an ascended experience.
The human energy field contains a larger toroidal sphere of life force
energy, the lightbody (seen in white) and within the lightbody, a
smaller toroidal sphere of life force energy (seen in red) which
contains the templates for the design and maintenance of the human
body. Inside the smaller sphere is that collection of vibrations we
refer to a the human body. The physical body is inseparable from the
lightbody! Like the camera that focuses exclusively on the foreground,
human beings clearly see the physical body but not the rest of the HEF.
The rest of the HEF is just as "real" as the physical body, we are just
attuned vibrationally to the physical body, just as a person who
selects the ESPN webpage automatically tunes out all the rest of the
3.7 billion web sites out there!
(This image is clearly not an accurate representation, but merely an
analogy and the best I
can do with my limited programming skills. The lightbody is a vehicle
which, controlled by consciousness, can completely
alter its vibrational signature. No one on earth knows the capabilities
of the lightbody, because no one has bothered to study it).
Is it possible to fully perceive and connect with the lightbody while
incarnated in a physical
body? I'm sure it is; perhaps some advanced guru or holy man somewhere
can give us an accurate description (if so, will this gentleman
or lady please come forward!), but it is really not necessary to have
such a detailed understanding; after all, the number of persons who
will be able to perceive on this very high level will be extremely
small.
However, even if one may not be able to attain Ascended Master status
during the earth existence, one can certainly become more aware of and
connected with your lightbody! Whenever you feel joy
or love or appreciation or any positive emotion, you are feeling your
lightbody. Therefore, the better you feel, the greater is your
awareness of it, and of the fullness of yourself.
How do we become aware of the lightbody and reach an ascended status,
while still in a physical
body? We can start by beginning to lessen our resistance to life,
especially those nagging and irritating little dramas that seem to
impinge themselves in the normal course of daily life.
This morning I was a mile down the street when I realized a had a flat
tire. I drove back to my house and had no idea how to put the jack
underneath the car; I was late for a bunch of appointments, the
temperature was 5 degrees, and the whole situation was really starting
to piss me off. But after ranting for a few minutes, I calmed down,
called the dealer and found out how to jack up the car, put on the
little spare tire and off I went, only losing an hour in the process.
It was actually sort of fun changing the tire even if it wasn't
something I would have chosen to do!
The point is, I could have saved myself a lot of grief by just avoiding
the ranting and raving bit. If I was in a lower emotional tone, say
apathy, about the whole thing then anger would have been an
improvement, but I wasn't. I was feeling awfully good and simply
allowed myself to fall into a really old habit of losing my temper.
Every time I lose my temper I lose my connection; it's as simple as
that; I fall back into a lower vibration and then have to raise it
again. It's this constant rise and fall of vibration which keeps us in
the same place, and makes it seem like we are stuck or that our lives
never change -- for me, it is hard sometimes to just let go of those
dramas and worries, even though I know better!
Rather than complaining to friends
and relatives about the boss, or your odious
mother-in-law, instead go out for a walk, or listen to some good music.
In
other
words, simply make the decision to feel good, instead of bad.
This is not irrational. Taking a walk after surviving a visit
from mother-in-law is a much better way to ensure a more pleasant
experience next time; for if one begins to try to "fix" mother-in-law,
one pushes more energy to the unwanted vibrations, almost guaranteeing
a similar experience the next time, and the next time and the next
time...
You cannot control
the actions of mother-in-law, but you CAN control how you feel, and as
you improve the way you feel towards mother-in-law, you will find your
interactions with her becoming more and more pleasant. We have talked
about this before; it is simply the operation of the Law of Vibration
and the Law of Attraction.
Simply by practicing
feeling better, you enable yourself to at least have a better chance of
staying within yourself the next time she visits, for now the Law
of Vibration and the Law of Attraction are working in your favor; as
they
say in sports, the playing field is tilted in your direction and you
have positive momentum.
Is taking a walk going to enable you to attain profoundly high states
of consciousness? Probably not, but it's a start if, in doing so, it
makes you feel better.
Most of us have lives that are a rollercoaster of highs and lows; it
seems inevitable that one must "accept the bad with the good." But the
reason we come down from our highs is because we allow ourselves to
focus on the things that bring us down! It's a habit, reinforced by our
parents, teachers, society, media, and the diversity and contrast of
our environment; and we accept it as natural. But it's only natural
because we have developed a habit of doing so! Ask yourself, what would
happen if you went through an entire day thinking only about positive
things? And then the next day, doing the same? You'd reach a pretty
amazing high, I'd think.
I've noticed that people who have truly attained higher states
of consciousness have done this very thing. My favorite example
is
the great Swami Muktananda. If you read his books (which are very
inspiring by the way) that's all he says over and over: to know God,
keep your attention on Godly things.
Enlightenment, ascension, Truth with a capital T, all of these profound
words have one common denominator: feeling good.
Profound states of consciousness MUST result in feeling good, that is
the minimum requirement, for enlightenment simply means, en-Light-ened,
or bathed in Light.
It is irrelevant WHAT you feel good about; enlightenment or ascension
is simply an undistorted connection to your own HEF, or, in other
words, an undistorted connection from YOU to YOU.
We are Already Ascended
Beings
We live on a planet of enormous contrast, encased in fragile bodies
deliberately designed to allow us to experience this contrast! We came
here because the environment
is so diverse, to experiment and work with the creative energy of life;
we came because this place can be so challenging.
It isn't such a
stretch to understand this, it's the same motivation that causes
people to want to climb Mount Everest and bungee jump off the sides of
buildings and drive motorcycles off cliffs and sit on top of an
explosive rocket in a tiny capsule hurtling toward a lifeless moon. All
of us here on earth are daredevils!
The point is, our lightbody is always with us; when we incarnated into
the body we simply encased ourselves in a "bubble of biology" within it!
So we are already ascended beings. We are all Ascended Masters, having
an earth experience.
In these essays on the Human Energy Field, I'm
trying to explain again
what others have said over and over again for millennia, using some
scientific metaphors that are familiar to most of us. Nothing I'm
saying here would be considered scientifically accurate, but then,
science claims to understand lots of things that it really doesn't.
Little things like gravity, for instance. Or light. Or the makeup of
matter and energy.
Summary
The HEF is
just a field of Light which surrounds your body. Every single person on
the planet is already enlightened, for every person has one of these
cocoons of light surrounding them.
Anyone can embark confidently on the path of enlightenment and
ascension, by
constantly
focusing on things that make you feel good, for when you do that, you
eliminate the blockages and distortions which prevent the full
experience of the glorious enLightened person that is you!
