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.

“Here we see a healthy human energy signature [The signature looked the same as it had when it first appeared a few moments before.] And now we see the first signs of illness. Can anyone pick it out?” he asked.

I stared at the matrix. It looked unchanged.

“Let me make it a bit easier,” said the teacher. “Compare a before and after image. The one on the left is the original. The one on the right shows signs of illness.” As he said this a second image appeared beside the first and the two images floated side by side like the pine tree and the apple tree.

I looked and looked but it was hard to tell the difference. I realized that others in the class were rotating the images within their minds so I did the same. I looked at it from several angles comparing the images. I also tried flipping it up so I could see the satellite view to look at the inference patterns. But I couldn’t see anything from that perspective either.

Finally someone in the class pointed out a slight difference in a small set of ripples in the new energy pattern. They were tighter together and slightly higher than in the original. The difference was so small that you’d need to have been a trained observer to pick it out. I felt I had been asked to read an MRI without the benefit of years of medical school and residency training in radiology.

“Very good,” said the teacher. “These changes are far too slight to manifest in physical form, but they already show the influence of consciousness on the energy signature. These were likely caused by negative feelings or repressed emotions. If they continued to develop they might result in stomach aches or ulcers or a cancer.

“A sore throat might look like this.” The image changed ever so slightly with a different band of ripples gathering and growing higher.

“And esophageal cancer might look like this,” he said. Now the ripples took on a jagged look like rows of shark-teeth. You didn’t need a keen eye to see the changes any more.

“The more advanced the illness, the more pronounced the influx of consciousness into to energy and matter fields,” the teacher said. “Higher spikes and larger ridges represent higher concentrations of consciousness, which in turn displace more energy and matter.”

“I understand your illness example,” I said, “but what about injuries. Are they caused by our thinking as well?”

“Good question,” said the teacher. “They’re caused by our thinking but from the perspective of physical reality they appear to have an external causality. Let’s take a closer look and see how our thinking influences external events.”

The energy signature changed again.

“This image represents someone who is about to break his leg. Note the elongated pattern on the right side. See how it is different from the one on the left. The one on the right is erratic, while the one on the left is consistent and smooth. This person’s thinking patterns have already disrupted his energy matrix, but the injury has not yet taken place. More than likely he is unaware of the irregularities in his energy field. Few humans are. At this point consciousness is merely waiting, poised to manifest at the slightest opportunity or disturbance. Chances are this person’s weakened energy pattern will result in a trip, or slip, or fall. It might occur in a skiing accident or on a sports field or simply walking across a parking lot.”

The teacher looked at me as he said the words “parking lot,” and I knew it was a pointed reference to a time years before when I had broken a tiny sesamoid bone in my foot while simply walking across a parking lot.

“Can we avoid injuries like that?” asked one of the students in the class.

“Absolutely,” said the teacher, “All it requires is a change in your thinking. Change your thinking and you change your energy pattern.”

“Yes, but you said that most people are unaware of how their thinking influences their energy signatures,” said someone else.

“That’s why we’re here,” I said. “To learn to pay attention to these things.”

The teacher smiled momentarily at our class discussion and then went on with his lecture. “Now so far we’ve mostly discussed how consciousness manifests within the energy matrix of the Self. And I hope by this you understand that these ‘Selves’ that I am referring to are not just those of you in class or your fellow humans in physical reality, but also all the trees and all the living forms on your planet and across the universe.

“Consciousness manifests itself in the energy and matter matrix of all things in the physical world from subatomic particles to galaxies. And it manifests in living and non-living things. Consciousness is what creates the forms and energies that you perceive in your reality.

“But consciousness does not only manifest within the physical form. Consciousness can also manifest at a distance. You do this whenever you make something in physical reality whether it is making breakfast, creating art, or doing paperwork at the office. But you can also use consciousness to manifest events, outcomes, and opportunities. Many people call this prayer or the power of positive thinking. Whatever you call it, the underlying principles are the same.”

The floating image of the energy signature of the human body changed. It looked healthy again. It got smaller and a section of the grid extended off to the right as a flat and level plane. The flat section showed the x and y axes but nothing protruded upward, indicating that no consciousness had been applied to that area of energy and matter.

“Now when we manifest at a distance we apply our consciousness to the energy matter matrix and it begins to take shape,” said the teacher, as a spike protruded from the matrix.

“Our intentional application of consciousness creates the manifestation according to our will.” The spike grew shorter and wider and then taller again as he spoke, demonstrating his manipulation of it.

“Does the distance matter?” I asked.

“No and yes,” said the teacher. “Manifestation or the influencing of energy and matter requires the application of consciousness. Consciousness is not influenced by what you perceive to be distance in space or time. Those are merely constructs of physical reality that make linear experience and learning possible. So in the greater sense the answer is no. Consciousness can influence energy and matter at any point anywhere that it chooses to direct its influence. That is what makes prayer for others and distance healing possible, for instance.

“But from your perspective in the physical realm, applying your consciousness to deliberately create an outcome requires the application of effort, which you perceive to be energy applied over time. You perceive causality—the application of intention which causes a particular result. From this perspective, manifestation in time and space are influenced by distance. That is why your thinking patterns are more likely to impact your personal health than the health those around you. They are only influenced on a secondary level as they interact with you.

“What about ideas, sir?” I asked. “They’re consciousness but they don’t manifest themselves on the energy matrix. I can see ideas having a great deal of energy but no matter. You can’t graph that on the matrix since to apply consciousness to the z axis is to apply it to both the x and y axes at the same time.”

“A good observation,” said the teacher. “The easiest way to understand this is realize that the energy matrix that we are looking at exists on a certain frequency rather like a plane of existence. Ideas exist on another level of existence, much as if we layered a second energy plane under the one we’ve been looking at”. As he spoke a second two dimensional energy matrix with longitudinal and latitudinal axes appeared beneath the first matrix.

“If I have an idea, I invest it with consciousness and it manifests on this level of reality,” said the teacher. A small bulge appeared in the lower matrix. “But it will not manifest in physical form on the upper matrix until someone applies their consciousness to give physical birth to the idea, which might be a ceramic pot, an idea for a movie, etc. At that point, sufficient consciousness has been invested in the idea so it moves from the subplane to the physical plane of existence.” As he spoke the spike in the lower plane protruded higher and higher until it touched and pushed its way through the upper matrix.

At that point the lecture wrapped up for the day. I thanked the teacher and introduced myself. He told me his name was Astromides, and he welcomed me to attend his class again. I bid him goodbye and hurried to my computer to capture the class notes while they were fresh in my mind.
