HIGHER SELF, GUARDIAN ANGEL, OR ACCESS TO YOUR SUPER
CONSCIOUSNESS
With some descriptions of
the function of the higher self it is often difficult for the readers not to be
left feeling slightly intimidated. Some of these descriptions state that the
higher self is a guardian angel. But this in turn implies the presence of two
separate intelligent beings; your intelligence and the much higher intelligence
of the guardian angel.
Alternatively and equally
daunting is the suggestion that higher self is really a group soul. As if it is
a sort of conglomerate intelligence of which you are really a tiny, temporarily
freewill-endowed extension. This must be equally daunting for each individual
group soul that we are told also thinks of itself as ‘Me’ because next we are
told that each group soul is really a tiny extension of an even larger group
soul. Eventually this sequence combines all of these group souls into a central
intelligence that also thinks of self as me. With each of these scenarios the
reader is left to feel either like a child that must be guided, or a pawn that
is really one self-deluded finger of a multi-fingered glove puppet.
Each of the foregoing
scenarios contains some truth but each also fails to comprehend your true
relationship to your Creator via your higher self. Because of that failure the
most important part of that relationship ‘You’ is relegated to the least
important part as a pawn of your Creator. So now let us try to get a more
accurate and logical picture of the relationship, and let’s start ‘where we all
are at’ in the physical.
Over the years from time to
time the world of medical research knowledgeably admits that there are vast
areas of the human brain that, to their knowledge, don’t appear to be used.
Often during such sage discussions it also may be suggested that these
currently unused areas may at one time have been functional, alternatively that
they may become functional at some time in the future. The fact remains that
currently we have large areas of our brains that apparently contribute nothing
to our daily lives.
Unfortunately these sage
discussions tend to become circumscribed by the very tight parameters set by
the medical researchers. This especially applies if we lay persons dare to
suggest that the human brain is only a physical linkage. It is a linkage that
simply enables non-physical, individualized, intelligent and aware life force
to use a body to experience physical existence. Such a suggestion is guaranteed
to produce blank stares from those trained to believe that in some unexplained
way life force is the product of, not the ‘raison d’etre’ for, the physical
body.
Medical researchers may
coyly admit to the possibility that these silent areas of the brain be linked
to dormant ESP faculties proved to exist but not yet understood. But this
admission will be safely made with the air of reckless abandon normally
reserved for those who knowingly and daringly tread upon the thin ice of unproven
conjecture. Fortunately we lay people are not bound by the rigid thought
processes required by career-minded medical researchers. For example, if in
meditation we receive thoughts that we know are not our own, then we need no
laboratory-gained proof that telepathy is a fact of life. Similarly,
experienced spiritual healers know that they could hold someone’s aching head
all day but the headache would remain, the healing energy would flow only when
the healer mentally ‘tunes-in’ to that non-physical level.
At the other end of the
scale the majority of people never meditate, never ‘tune-in’. Instead they
transmit and receive thoughts and ideas only via physical means of
communication. In terms of those silent areas of the brain this is like a
two-legged man who always hops along on one leg because he cannot believe he
has two legs. With a population conditioned from birth to hop assumedly yet
another part of the brain would rapidly become dormant. The part we each think
of as ‘me’ could only be non-physical life force that has evolved to the level
of individual, conscious, aware, inductive thought. This must mean that we all
already have non-physical senses.
Unfortunately from the
moment of physical birth each individual is lovingly conditioned to totally
rely upon his or her physical senses. For example any toddler that psychically
‘sees’ a fairy will be parentally pressured to believe he or she did not see a
fairy. For anyone to publicly declare that they psychically ‘see’ human auras
may well result in earnest TV discussions where learned men and women grimly
demand concrete proof to back up the declaration.
Two solid facts have
emerged from our discussion so far. The first that, most humans have vast areas
of their brains that are alive but dormant. The second that, humans are so
totally focused in the daily grind of physical survival their thoughts seldom
range further than their immediate needs and interests. After all, with
dependants, to support, a career to carve, a vehicle to run and pay for, and a
heavily mortgaged house, who has time to seriously wonder if other life forms
exist in the universe? Who can see any relevance or point in trying to mentally
contact denizens of other physical worlds, let alone of other non-physical
dimensions?
When we meditate first we
have to quiet our mind. Mind is our two-way link with our hectic daily life in
the physical dimension. The first part of the linkage links mind to the known
parts of the brain that deal only with daily life. We could name this the comfort zone level of
thought. Mind, is also our two-way link with the non-physical dimensions.
Undeniably the brain is still involved when we enter the altered state in
meditation. This must be so because in the physical the thoughts and intentions
of non-physical “Me” have to first crank their way through the atomic structure
of the physical brain.
When we meditate our first
point of contact in the non-physical is our higher self for whom a better name might
be the individual human’s super-conscious. But to meditate we have to
deliberately switch the focus of our mind away from daily life to then focus on
the non-physical. When we successfully make this switch we then enter what is
known as the ‘altered state’. The sensation we then feel in our head is very
subtle and ghostly, but also it is definitely a physical sensation. It is as if
another part of our brain has awakened for the purpose. As has been
scientifically demonstrated, the pattern of the brain waves alters during
meditation.
What has also been
demonstrated is that when people first begin to regularly meditate they are
only able to remain in the altered state for a brief period of time. These
periods of time increase with regular sessions of meditation. An intellectual
equivalent to this would be the cerebral strain felt by a person at the
commencement of studies to gain a degree in higher mathematics. All mundane
thought would have to be excluded whilst the student concentrated on the
intricacies of the subject. At first this would quickly tire the student until
eventually the act of absorbing these intricacies became a normal way of life,
but in the process of studying, the student’s thoughts would be led further and
further away from and above his or her normal mundane relaxed level of thought.
The student may receive knowledge of the subject from printed textbooks or from
the spoken words of a teacher, but only by the student’s sustained efforts
could the knowledge become an integral part of the student. In this comparison
only physical means of communication have been used to transfer thoughts,
ideas, and concepts, from mind to mind. The owner of the latter mind has then
with a concentrated effort of intellect absorbed what was transferred.
Now we may gently move on.
Let us suppose that someone on Earth did make telepathic contact with
intelligent life on a planet somewhere in the physical universe. Before
meaningful communication could begin, a mutually understandable language of
mental images would have to be devised. This would require from each that their
individual intelligence expanded to include far more than knowledge of their
own familiar lifestyles.
In turn, amid the
limitations of physical existence, this would require previously unused areas
of the human brain to awaken, to make and maintain telepathic contact, and to
comprehend the received, alien to the recipient, information. It would be very
difficult for a human on Earth to relate to the day to day joys and problems
of, for example, an intelligent, methane-breathing denizen of some distant
giant planet. In terms of the human’s lifestyle on Earth the intelligent
methane-breathing denizen would face the same problem of comprehension.
The only meeting point that
they might share would be that each is a non-physical “me” that physically
exists for the same purpose in a physical universe. This is where the seeker’s
flexibility of thought and ideas allows the seeker’s intelligence to
continuously expand. In this way those cherished, rigid ideas may be re-thought
in the light of increasing knowledge and personally gained experience.
Now we gently move on to
the subject of contact with intelligent denizens in the non-physical
dimensions. Obviously again telepathy is the only viable means of
communication. This applies no matter whether we try to contact our higher
self, or our late dearly beloved aunt, or someone high up in the angelic
hierarchy. The problem to be faced then is that telepathy in the non-physical
dimensions is the normal and only means of communication. This problem only
arises when we, conditioned to rely entirely upon our physical senses, then try
to use those same senses to make contact. When this fails, as it must, the
problem then also becomes a problem of belief as to whether or not there is
anyone non-physical to contact.
To think is so easy. To
then communicate our thoughts, this also is so easy whilst we limit our
physical selves to physical communication with each other on this tiny planet.
As a result we have vast areas of our brains that lie dormant. But we also find
that we are cut off from intelligent two-way communication with the rest of
Creation in the physical and in the non-physical, hence the need to learn to
meditate. Earlier in this article we explained that to rise above the comfort
zone level of thought takes sustained effort until the achieved rise becomes a
natural part of the individual’s comfort zone. We cannot emphasize enough that
exactly the same applies in meditation. Many people try to meditate and when at
first they don’t succeed they give up. This is like the man in our earlier
example, conditioned from birth to hop, who then discovers that he has two
legs.
Obviously the realization
on its own would not be enough because a sustained, initially tiring effort
would be required from him to then awaken and learn to use his dormant leg.
Embedded as we all are in physicality we have been encouraged to aim our
thoughts through our brains along limited, familiar to us all, easy to follow,
well-trodden routes. Because we all have always done this, each of us has vast
unexplored areas of our selves to discover and no one but we could explore
those areas for us. To explore these areas each of us has to discover our own
previously un-trodden routes. Of course patience with self and sustained effort
is required to find and follow the routes and then to fully comprehend what we
individually discover. But until we make the effort each of us remains isolated
and cut off from the greater reality of the rest of Creation,
Let us try to find out why
in meditation the sustained effort is required, and where higher self fits into
our scenario. First we must clearly understand that although each of us has
chosen to exist amid physical matter the essential part that we each think of
as ‘me’ is non-physical. Because each of us is really non-physical we all are
already telepathically linked to the non-physical. In the physical our problem
is one of conditioned disbelief in our natural capabilities. Whilst on the Astral
we easily communicate with each other via telepathy. To communicate with each
other in the physical we have to use the provided physical equipment. To
communicate with the non-physical whilst in the physical we have to do so via a
subtler aspect of the provided physical equipment.
Really this is like the
deep-sea divers who can freely talk to each other until each is sealed into a
diving suit. Then for the divers to hear each other each must use internal
microphones. Also to communicate with those above on the surface they must
switch the same equipment to a higher frequency. But when they all are together
on the surface no one needs special equipment to be able to communicate.
Now let us get a more
comfortable picture of our relationship to our higher selves, to the angelic
hierarchy, and to our Creator. To do this first we must firmly dump our
religiously conditioned, ingrained ‘bottom of the heap’ image of our selves.
Instead, despite the priestly shock, and horrified astonishment it might cause,
we must insist that, each of us individual human beings represent the whole
point of the ‘Creation’ exercise. Only then does our parental image of our
Creator make sense. It means that the angels of the angelic hierarchy and we
humans are brothers and sisters all equally beloved by our Creator parents. The
angels and we humans were created from the same source as absolute equals, each
with vital but very different roles. The angels will always remain as parts of
the Creator mind family. For that reason the individual super-conscious of each
angel is able to remain as an integral part of each angel’s intelligence.
We humans individually will
eventually leave our Creator Parents’ family to create our own unique versions
of Creation. We will become individual, adult Creator minds in our own right,
but to achieve this we first had to descend many levels without our higher
selves. The power-level of the energy of our higher selves is far too high for
low-power-level physical matter. Instead just the ‘me’ focal point of each
higher self, made the descent. This is why rank doesn’t enter the scene because
we all are one beloved family. Our Creator and the angels in the non-physical
levels learn much from us through our tough, often awful experiences in the
physical. Unlike us, with very few exceptions, they will never be required to
choose to painfully enter and again and again re-enter the physical.
This means that they can
only admiringly learn about the joys, tribulations, and limitations of physical
existence from each of us. After we humans individually ascend the roles will
be reversed so that our brother and sister students; the angels, then becomes
our teachers with much to teach us about our ultimate roles. But if we are
prepared to strive whilst in the physical we may learn a great deal about our
destined roles even before we ascend. So now let’s look at why in meditation we
have to strive. The main point to remember is that before we could ascend we
first had to descend. Ascension requires that each of us will choose to strive
to reclaim all that we had to leave behind to enable us to descend.
Again we stress that this
has nothing to do with religiously prescribed ‘bottom of the heap’ rank.
Instead it has all to do with ascending power-levels of energy and ascending
speeds of existence in the non-physical levels. To describe these we have no
choice but to use (with hopefully forgivable poetic license) familiar but
unavoidably clumsy, physically based, terminology. For example, for countless
centuries teachers of religious beliefs based the certainty of their teachings
on one, thought to be undeniable, fact. This fact was confirmed by their
physical senses that told them there is a clear-cut divide between non-physical
Creation and physical Creation. Only in fairly modern times have scientists had
the technology to prove that the apparent solidity of physical matter is an
illusion. In fact everything physical in the physical universe is really energy
compelled and controlled to act in a certain way. This includes each and every
living physical body.
The illusion, viewed
through our physical senses, still leaves us convinced to the point that we all
tend to devalue the power of thought until thought is in some way converted into
a physical result or action. We choose to ignore the fact that without the
thought there would be no result or action. Our tendency to reason in this
contradictory way is in complete contradiction to the scientifically proven
reality of our situation.
It also makes the teachings
of all religions so difficult for an intelligent layperson to accept and
believe. We are taught that Our Creator is non-physical and only used the power
of intelligent thought to create from energy both, non-physical and physical
Creation. The truth is that our non-physical Creator used the power of
intelligent thought to create from energy the entire Creation. Of that entire,
very real energy structure called Creation, a tiny temporary part is the same
very real energy greatly reduced in power-level and tightly structured to
behave as if it were physical matter.
To understand how wave
bands and energy power-levels apply to us let’s briefly look at our Creator’s
level. When we move the tuner around the dial of our ordinary radio set we hear
the crackle of static until we tune into a broadcast program. Continue to move
the tuner and we hear more static between more broadcast programs. Each program
is different and in each case the static first had to be controlled and organized.
If we had a celestial radio set we could tune in to the instantaneous existence
level of Creator Minds. As we moved the tuner we would hear the static crackle
of very real energies in chaos until we tuned in to a Creator Mind’s Creation.
But to create the creation the Creator Mind first had to organize and to
control, the chaotic energy. Move the tuner some more and we hear more static
between yet more Creator Minds’ Creations. They all exist on the instantaneous
existence level linked by mutual love and separated by individual uniqueness.
Each is an adult Creator mind that began as the beloved and unique child of
another adult Creator mind. To be an adult Creator Mind is the ultimate destiny
of each human being. Now let’s briefly look at speed of existence and reducing
power-levels of our Creator’s energies.
To create, the descending
levels of a freewill endowed angelic hierarchy of teachers required that a
series of waves be introduced into the Creator’s radiated instantaneous energy.
More and more waves were introduced to form each next lower angelic level. The
purpose of this was to reduce the speed of existence in each level like a
staircase of levels. Always the instantaneous energy flows through each level
but must follow the path set by the increased number of waves in each next
lower level.
Thus the speed of existence
of the lowest level angels is far slower than that of angels in the higher
levels. How can this be if the instantaneous speed and power-level of the
energy is unaffected throughout? The angels are created to exist as freewill
endowed, intelligent, twinned, and living images projected onto the waveforms
of their own level. If that is the angelic hierarchy what about the life force
that eventually evolved to the human level created as equal to the angels?
Our role is different and
involves our eventual, individual departure from our Creator Parent’s
Creation. For this reason we couldn’t be
simply projected as images onto yet more waveforms. Before our dormant life force
could be activated another form of energy structure had to create even lower
speed of existence levels than that of the lowest level angels. To achieve
this, the flow of unreduced in speed of existence energy is then compelled to
enter this energy structure. This structure of energy is shaped to form an area
of countless enmeshed spherical vortexes.
This combined structure
simply acts like a power-level transformer and is known as the Astral Vortex.
As the energy flow enters and follows the windings to the centre of each
spherical vortex the vortexes reduce the power-level of the energy. Then even
at each vortex centre the speed of existence of the energy remains unreduced
because the speed is converted to spin-speed of existence. In relation to the
higher power-level energy flow that follows it into and down the vortex
windings this renders the very real spinning energy stationery at each vortex
centre. It then has to drop out of astral vortex existence to create, and then
to exist in, the yet slower, very real sub-atomic level. From there it is
slowed further as it enters the electron and then atom building, process. All
of the life force had as its source the high power-level energy of the
instantaneous existence level of the Creator mind. This includes not only the life
force that would become the angelic hierarchy, but also the life force that
would eventually evolve to and beyond the human level. The entire angelic
hierarchy exists on an unreduced power level of energy. But to create the
descending levels of the hierarchy the speed of existence was reduced for each
next lower level, via the waveforms.
For the angels to enter
their levels of the hierarchy they had to descend from the level of the highest
speed of existence and then be reduced in speed of existence as they descended
through each of the levels above their own. To be reduced they each had to
leave something of their selves on each level through which they descended.
The life force remained
dormant that was to enter and exist in and then, ascend out of physical matter.
It had to follow the same descension process, as did the angels of the angelic
hierarchy. The life force had to be dormant to then descend below the lowest
level of the angelic hierarchy, and next the energy power level of the life
force had to be drastically reduced. This was achieved in three steps. Every
trace of life force energy ever created contains both aspects that we think of
as male and female in perfect balance. This means that each angel is actually a
twin, a he and a she. In fact it is this perfect balance that gives the life
force energy such a high power-level.
So the first step was to
separate the two aspects so that their combined power-level was halved. Because
they were dormant and incomplete without each other they dropped below the
lowest of the angelic levels. The second step was to separate each dormant he
or she aspect from his or her high power-level energy super-conscious. This was
to enable the dormant life force to enter the highest power-levels of the
astral, power-level reducing, vortex. The third step required the dormant life
force to descend to the centre of the vortex. In the process the vortex reduced
the power-level of the life force to that of physical matter.
So the Angels are
non-physical life force twinned images. They are projected onto waveforms
introduced into the unreduced power-level energy flow as it passes through each
angelic level. It is totally different for non-physical life force that is to
exist amid the low power-level energy-created illusion called physical matter.
This life force will project its own him or her image onto instantaneous speed
of existence, low power-level energy that has been structured and compelled to
spin. But relative to the non-physical life force the structures of spinning
energy formed into atoms will remain stationary, inert, and controllable when
required by the dormant life force.
As, when, and whilst
life-supporting conditions prevail in the physical universe the dormant life
force enters and activates simple structures of atoms. . We could suggest that
the power-level reduction process endured in the vortex by the life force made
the power-level of physical existence the comfort zone of the life force. The
drive to evolve is really the unconscious drive of the non-physical life force
to return to from whence it originally descended. The only way it could return
to those high levels would be first by gradually increasing its tolerance to
existence in the higher power-levels of the astral vortex between each physical
existence. The drive to achieve astral greater power-level tolerance would be
reflected in the physical by the evolvement of more sophisticated and more
versatile physical bodies. This astral climb and this ongoing physical
evolvement would eventually cause the life force to evolve above the animal
kingdom to the individual human level. Until the human level is reached the
life force remains dormant and unaware of itself during this long, long journey
of unconscious evolvement. Once the human level is reached, added to
unconscious instinct, are emotions, the ability to think inductively, and the
gift of freewill choice.
I am that I am, and I have
the freedom to choose to further evolve of not. But since the purpose is to
climb above the astral power-reducing vortex, the only way I could choose to
further evolve would be to choose to continuously increase my tolerance to
those higher power-levels of energy and those higher speeds of existence. Now
it becomes easier to understand the relationship between my higher self or
super-conscious and me. My super-conscious is my powerhouse, my limitless store
of resources and knowledge of past, present, and future.
But until I ascend to above
the vortex to its power-level my super-conscious will lack its focal point;
just like any tool lacks purpose until someone’s intelligence uses it.
Meanwhile super-conscious and I remain linked by what I left in the vortex to
be able to descend. By striving in meditation I may activate and develop this
intuitive link, the choice is mine. The more I develop the link the more my
current thinking and choices made in the present will be influenced by my
super-conscious’ access to the future. Also it becomes easier to understand why
the life force that evolved to become human ‘Me’ had to descend into physical
existence. To become a Creator Mind in my own right I will have to leave my
Creator’s creation. When I leave my Creator’s creation I will also have to
leave my Creator’s generous and ongoing supply of energy. I also would have to continue
to exist until I can supply my own energy. How will this be achieved?
We have described the
difference between the energy structure of the angelic levels, and the energy
structure that then leads down to physical existence. The former consists of
energy that flows from our Creator. The energy is both unreduced in power-level
and unreduced in speed of existence, but is compelled to form levels filled
with more and more waves that the energy-flow must follow. The life force that
will inhabit these levels will be projected onto the wave patterns and this
will govern the speed of existence of that life force. The same flow of energy
then flows into the latter, the energy vortex, structure that reduces the
power-level of the energy and converts its instantaneous speed of existence
into instantaneous spin-speed of existence. It is into a physical dimension
created from this energy flow that life force had to enter and evolve to the
human level.
The intelligence of our
Creator continuously provides and controls this energy structure throughout. By
the time that the life force in the physical dimension has evolved to the human
level it has learnt to control this energy. First it learns to control the
energy in its physically structured form of the atomic matter of its current
physical body. At the individualized human level the intelligence of the
non-physical life force learns to understand the real nature of the physical
matter amid which it exists. Next, and as a direct result of its continuous
efforts to ascend to ever-higher power-levels of the vortex, the life force
learns to control and raise the power-level of the energy that forms its
current physical body. Eventually individual human intelligence learns to take
over from his or her Creator, the energy power-level control of his or her
current physical human body.
He or she has then achieved
the purpose for which he or she entered physical existence. Now he or she,
complete with a body converted to its original unreduced power-level energy form,
may ascend above the astral vortex. There the ascended individualized human
life force will blend with his or her higher self. He or she will then await
the ascension of his or her opposite aspect out of the same physical dimension
and astral vortex. Only when rejoined will both aspects be able, as students,
to then ascend the angelic-teachers, hierarchy levels to our Creator’s level.
At our Creator’s instantaneous level the two aspects will blend as a completely
balanced and harmonious independent Creator Mind. This Creator mind will be
independent and free to leave because it has collected its gift of a creative
energy source onto which it has embossed its self-created image.
