The Realms Of Illusion

In a recent blog I referred to evidences of a larger reality from the likes of NDEs, Near Death Experiences.  I failed - chose not - to go into any more detail on the subject at the time.  I will now.

Another of the major evidences of such:  

Childhood (fleeting) memories, mostly of the most recent of past lives, before they disappear into the deep background of our current lives.  Though subconsciously affecting our current lives.  Or more accurately, sub-subconsciously affecting them; since our current lives have their own subconscious vault.  

The literature on the subject is filled with arresting examples of such, in remarkable detail, before they recede out of conscious sight, in the avalanche of current ‘reality’ exposure to images-thoughts-feelings, occluding the ’view’ of them.  Which leads inexorably to the arresting thought and conclusion that ‘life’ itself is illusory, ephemeral in its own substance.  ‘Life is but a dream,’ the bard said.  Or at least, opined.  And evidence, available in our day, in such phenomena as NDEs and detailed childhood memories of a past or past iives, would appear to attest to the fact that he was right.*  

And so, when I talk in these pages about our coming now to “the real thing” - and even capitalize it (to draw attention to it further, in the welter of words on a page) - the term is relative.

Relative to what?

To where we are now.  Deeply embedded in a Drama of our making.  Acting out parts in The Play.  Over and over again.  As I have said before in these pages: Now a prince, now a pauper.  Now a male, now a female (or an incarnate whose brain is patterned for the inhabitant of the vehicle to self-identify as something in between the two poles, in this realm of - seeming - separation, polarity, duality).  Now of one race or religion or nationality, now of another.  All of it, serving a purpose.

The Purpose of consciousness-raising.

In the larger - much larger; the vast - scheme of things.

P.S. What do I think of the concept of Dualism, specifically moral dualism: the idea that there is both Good and Evil, and we are trapped on the side of Evil, until we renounce it completely??  I tend to think of ‘’it’ more in the way of a Non-Dualist; what is called Advaita Vedanta: that Yes, there is Darkness.  And Dark entities that inhabit that aspect of The Whole.  And which are at least momentarily lost in their self-identity thereof.  But they are to be pitied more than hated.  For they, too, are but playing a part.  

     Until we all raise our individual - individuated - consciousnesses sufficiently to comprehend our way out of the Maze; the Illusion.  And perhaps return, bodhisattva-like, to this realm deliberately, even after having gained that Ring Pass Not stage of spiritual evolutionary development, to help our brothers and sisters, still ’trapped’ in - involved in - the fiction of the Maze, find their way out of it.  Which many souls have done at this time.  

     This time, of a major breakthrough.  Release. 

     Out of one part of the Maze.  The Matter.  (The Mother aspect of the Source.)  Into another. 

     You see, eliminating ‘money’ -  the limiting concept thereof; and its handmaiden, of interest-bearing money, to say, money as debt - ‘just’ liberates us from one sector of the Matter Maze to another.  Far more spacious, yes.  

     But this is still the realm of what is called 3D.  

     Our consciousness release, like a balloon, seeks to go up to its limits. 

     Some advanced incarnates have ’sussed’ that there are at least twelve such realms.  Before ‘hitting’ - accomplishing - Unity.

     Full Oneness with the Prime Creator.  

     To know the place for the first time; as another bard put it.  After ceasing exploration of the illusory Other…  

     Who knows.

     The Shadow of our Higher Self doesn’t know.  

     But our Higher Self Itself knows.    

     That is, the part of us - of Us - that is beyond the confines of any context.

     Awareness of all of which we are coming to.  

     As we embark on our new seas to sail in this realm.

     Given to us to go exploring in.

     Our of the Goodness of the Heart - the pristine, incorruptible Heart - of 

     The All That Is.
