Posts from yesterday and the day before documented a lecture I attended in Focus 27 nonphysical reality on the subject of the Matrix and how we use consciousness to influence the Matrix in order to manifest our thoughts in physical reality. Part 3 below continues the story on the day after I attended that first lecture. If you have not read the previous posts in this series I highly encourage you to start there first.

I sat down to mediate again the next morning and discovered that I was due in class with Astromides. His lecture was about to start. I returned to the Observatory and realized what I had assumed to be a one time workshop was instead the first day of a longer class.

As I sat down in my seat Astromides looked at me and said, “Now that we’re all here I think we can get started.”

“Yesterday we looked at the energy matrix and discussed how consciousness influences energy and matter through the process of manifestation. Today we’re going to take a closer look at how energy fields are influenced by consciousness,” he began.

Yesterday’s post captured the first half of a lecture I attended in Focus 27 nonphysical reality on the subject of the Matrix and how we use consciousness to influence the Matrix in order to manifest our thoughts in physical reality. The post below picks up in mid-lecture. If you have not read the previous post in this series I highly encourage you to start there first.

The trees vanished and the previous energy signature of a human was back in the air in front of the class.

The teacher gestured toward the glowing green lines and said, “Mind consciousness directly affects the manifestation of the human form. We spoke earlier about how what you eat, what you experience, and what you think all influence the energy matrix that is uniquely your own.”

As he said this I guessed that he was referring to the information I’d received in my dream. So I didn’t interrupt the lecture to ask to be brought up to speed after my late arrival in class.

“So now let’s look at something more specific, such as physical illness. Physical illness can manifest in a great variety of ways. Mild illness is often a feeling a discomfort or dis-ease, such as a cold or flu with a variety of symptoms but no specific focal point for the illness. Other more developed forms of physical illness take up specific residence in the body as tumors, cancers, and the like. But all illness, like all manifestation, begins in much more subtle fashion.

I had a dream the other night in which I was looking at energy matrices. They were three dimensional grids of thin neon green lines that looked something like a computer’s 3D cartographical representation of a mountain range. In my dream I knew that they were energy signatures.

I knew that each person, indeed each thing in physical form, had a unique energy signature that resulted in a particular three dimensional matrix. These matrices were determined by a variety of different factors. First, all human matrices existed on a particular frequency. Then differences began to appear as other factors influenced the signature. For instance, male and female patterns are different. After that other factors became influential such as biological influences from parentage, the food we eat, the exercise we get, geography, proximity to others socially, our previous life experiences, our psychological constitution, etc. All of these factors and many more combine to make every human energy signature unique. Even more unique than a fingerprint.

In my dream I realized that it is these unique energy signatures that enable me to find someone in non-physical reality. I am seeking their exact energy signature. That is how we really know people on all levels of reality. We don’t just know them by how they look, the color of their hair or eyes, or the way they walk or laugh. We also know them by their personality. These are all attributes that contribute to the energy signature.

But the message of the dream was more than just this observation. The message was that if you changed the energy signature, you changed the person—and the person’s experience of reality.

After I woke up I decided to learn more about these energy signatures in my meditation. So I held the image of one of the energy signatures in my mind and asked where I should go to learn more about it. The answer I received was “Go to the Observatory in Focus 27.”

Grace is the Divine moving within you, through you, and around you.

Grace happens when you listen to your inner wisdom.

And even when you don’t.

Grace happens when you are kind to yourself.

And even when you aren’t.

Grace happens when you stop struggling, straining and worrying.

And even when you can’t.

Grace happens when you open your heart to others.

And even when you won’t.

Grace happens when you trust.

And even when you don’t.

Grace happens when you are happy and joyous.

And even when you aren’t.

Grace happens when you notice the beauty of life around you.

And even when you don’t.

Grace happens when you are overwhelmed.

And even when you aren’t.

Grace happens when you help others, no matter how inadequate you feel while doing so.

And it even happens when you don’t.

Grace happens when you let it.

And even when you won’t.

Grace is constant.

Even when you aren’t.

The journeys I take can be described as meditations, astral projections, out of body experiences, or remote viewing. To me these are differing names for what is the same phenomenon—paying attention to or sending my awareness to some point that cannot be perceived by my body’s five physical senses.

There are countless books and websites describing methods you can use to send your awareness beyond your body. Many offer mental exercises and affirmations. Some suggest paying attention to your dreams. Others suggest using rituals, drumming, music, and/or substances to alter your consciousness. Still others employ technologies, such as the Monroe Institute’s Hemi-Sync, to help you change your brainwave frequencies. In the end they all involve shifting your attention from the outer world you normally experience to an inner world that exists alongside and beyond the physical realm.

For me, after years of practice this has become a simple and natural process that no longer requires preparation time, ritual, or any aids to shift my consciousness. In essence, my current process is less one of going somewhere else than it is one of paying attention to something else.

If you think about it you may discover that you use this very same process of shifting your attention, albeit you may do so in different contexts.

When many people begin exploring expanded states of awareness they are often plagued with self-doubt. That hasn’t been my problem.

My first out of body experience was so convincing and so consistent in detail that it pretty much removed doubt from mind. Since then I have operated under the principle that reality is the experience of the Self.

I know and trust my experiences as my experiences whether they occur in physical or nonphysical reality. If I’m alone at home and I spill coffee on the kitchen table I know it happened. I can clean up the mess and remove all the evidence, but I’ll still know it happened even if no else was there to confirm it. For me experiences in nonphysical reality possess a consistency of detail and context that feel as real as those in physical reality. Thus having a chat with a nonphysical spirit guide feels very similar to having a chat with a friend in a coffee shop. I don’t need my friend or my spirit guide to confirm my experiences. I know they’ve happened.

Still internal confirmation is different from external confirmation. What many people mean when they say “how do you know this is real?” is actually “how well do your experiences corroborate with external events that can be verified by others?”

The answer is: surprisingly well. Let me give you a few examples from across the years.

The secret to experiencing states of expanded awareness is something that children know intuitively. A select few adults know it too, especially around Christmas. The secret is:

Seeing is not believing. Believing is seeing.

[I WROTE FOLLOWING ARTICLE FOR A DISCUSSION ABOUT DREAMS. I’M POSTING IT HERE WITH A NEW TITLE SINCE IT DISCUSSES MANY ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS THAT APPLY TO TOPICS ON THIS SITE.]

Dreams have long been considered a doorway to other levels of consciousness. But what is consciousness anyway?

The nature of consciousness has been debated by philosophers, scientists, and great thinkers for thousands of years. In that time countless definitions and divisions have been advanced, rejected, and rediscovered.

Awareness = Reality

For simplistic purposes, let’s consider consciousness to be a state of awareness of our inner feelings and thoughts, as well as the environment we perceive around us. Our consciousness changes constantly in response to new external stimuli or to shifts in our feelings or thoughts. Sometimes those changes are subtle and other times they are quite significant.

On the surface psychic abilities such as soul retrievals, channeling, astral travel, remote viewing, and manifestation appear to be different skills. But they are actually facets of the same basic premise—extending your awareness beyond your physical body and consciously attracting to yourself the experience you desire. The ability to do this, or to exercise any other psychic skill, depends upon a few essential fundamentals. The three most basic are:

1. belief that it is possible
2. deliberate intention
3. receptivity to accept the experience into your life

After posting about my soul retrieval of a past life in China I took the opportunity to have a follow up conversation with Li Chen, my personality in that life. Here is a brief excerpt from that conversation. A much extended version follows if you click through to follow the story.

"The most you can do is to live and speak your truth and be an example that other may choose to follow. But you must do so because you are motivated to live your own truth joyously and purposefully and not because of how you think you will be perceived by others. It is the same “sin” to alter your thinking and behavior to set a positive example for others as it is to alter your behavior so that others will think better of you. Both are acts of giving away your own power. Don’t do it. Just live your life as authentically as you can. Live for fun and joy and trust your skills to navigate life’s events. As you do that, others may be attracted to your lifestyle and may choose to listen to you. Or they may not. Once you detach yourself from their reactions you detach yourself from a desire for their energy. Thus free, you can devote even more attention to drawing power from your own Source within."
