Imaginings and Imaginations of the Soul

Imaginings and imaginations of the soul

Contzen Pereira and J Shashi Kiran Reddy

Abstract

The soul is agile and transparent; it does not make the body weighty. It streams limitless within the patterns of regimented matter, gratifies the body until it can fill it no more, but remains as a swirling ball of energy with it. We do not see it, but can imagine it; like the wind; an energy, we do not see but can feel and there is no kerb to imagine its likeness. The soul so translucent lies beneath the scabbard of the body; brings the flesh to life; a heave of energy within and out of every speck of flesh. It abides the laws of nature and so departs the body upon death to be transformed and reutilized. Cosmic energy shapes matter and so shapes life; fabricates the mind and the soul; makes the body conscious of its presence. To seek it, we need to imagine it; imagination helps us see within the stores of the cosmic energy matrix. For no matter what, the soul exists, it is no extraordinary form, no mysterious form; a sphere of energy; pure, created with the purposefulness of engaging life in forms that can support it; us; to experience the magnificence of what is and why it was created. This paper is an insight into the imaginings and imaginations of the soul that deepens the ability of the human mind to venture into the depths of the cosmic energy which crafts it.

The Journey of the Soul: Images and Imaginations

Imagination and imaginings, is an adeptness of the human mind and this ability of the mind has led to several hypothesis and many discoveries. If we look at the soul from a science based reductive approach, it is a fabrication of the ever prevalent cosmic energy. The cosmic energy we feel; the energy we generate and the energy we expel; that cannot be created nor can it be destroyed, but is not as unadorned as we think it is. Cosmic energy can create and can destroy; for matter is a product of this energy and so can be reduced to energy. We perceive the macroscopic world created by this energy; for energy created matter; matter created matter and so on, but the most beautiful amendment was when energy inhabited matter to bring it to life. Unfortunately, life as we imagine is only the life that is around us; superficial; taken for granted, which may differ otherwise; and that which yet needs to be imagined and explored.

The mind is the soul; a product of cosmic energy that resides in the body that holds the design to develop the brain and the body; enhancing its capability to create, store and process information. The mind in reality is much different from the brain, for it is the mind that creates the brain and not the brain that creates the mind. The mind is the soul the true blueprint of a body, as long as it stays associated with the body. The brain is the organ evolved to accomplish the works of the body and as a medium to imagine and imaginate deep within the depths of energy. 

Imaginations are created by the mind within the limits of the cosmic information and beyond limits of memories that has been retained by the brain. Imaginations are formed with the blend of information that is retrieved by the mind from within the energy matrix of the cosmos; energy that contains information from origination to the cessation; the beginning and the end that reside beyond the limits of the dimensions of time and space. Imagining and imagination of the mind is entering into the depths of the cosmic energy that dwells in the body as the soul and mind, with matter playing the role of a support medium.  

The structural design that energy created since its instigation, is what lies embedded in the energy of the soul; energy is the root cause of all creation; the creation of matter, the body, the soul and the mind. What resides in the mind is what is in the soul and is all around us, and it is for us to imagine all that is in the visible and invisible; learning the art of exploring the energy within. The soul within organized matter gives rise to consciousness; it is the awareness of the existence of oneself. Consciousness is the energy map created when matter is organized, to direct matter to its right path. Death of organized matter releases the energy as soul, mind and consciousness, but the imaginations and images stay ensnared within this matrix expelled into the cosmos. The soul exists but with no identity; it exists like the wind, where we need to imagine and feel it as virtuous energy. Imagination is the pathway that leads the soul into the depths of cosmic energy and its amassed information.  

Cosmic energy flows within every single cell of the body; creates the mind and consciousness; nourishes the soul within the body; helps to learn and imaginate through the mind. Structured selves can bear the energy to imagine the imaginations and imaginings stored within the mind and soul as it flows through the body, effortlessly.

For the soul, is an interactive energy ball, constantly interacting with the eternal cosmic energy within and outside the body; it stays interconnected and intertwined to the matrix and with every soul interacting with the matrix gets cosmologically connected; balls of energy overlap the matrix to form patterns within the cosmos. We are beings composed of the universe. Our bodies were formed from the original energy that formed the universe and therefore we are connected forms, sharing the forces and charges that apply. To imagine the ball of energy as the soul is an image of the complex intertwined networking of the cosmic energy. This is a network that can link the soul to soul and soul to eternity.  

 Imaginations of the soul are imaginations stored within the cosmic energy of the universe and we as humans imagine it in a human state of mind. Energy has patterns much better than the human form and these patterns can be felt only through imaginations of oneself. Cosmic energy takes shape of the body when it resides within the body; the soul forms the body and so the soul shapes the body and resembles the body as an embodied image. The soul does not exit the body until death loses its identity in the absence of the body.

Humans have souls and so do other beings, but imagining the soul of another being is leaping into the depths of cosmic energy. Evolution has bought us way ahead of other beings but the energy that flows within every being is yet the same. The cosmic energy holds information to all that was, all that is and all that will be, for it has been imprinted within the matrix at its materialization. We connect to every living being, for no other is lesser than oneself; no other is less aware than oneself and so there is no limitations in imagining the soul of the other.  

Entanglement is the bizarreness of the microscopic world which is actually the true comportment of energy. Through connections of cosmic energy we realize that no energy is different and possess the same paraphernalia; entangled to perform as one. The energy of a soul is constantly entangled with the cosmic energy network that forms a mode of transmittance of information across dimensions. This entanglement within the body creates the mind; holds memories; that can survive outside the body until the body is resuscitated. Imagination enhances the process of entanglement; makes the soul powerful and the mind mindful. 

An imaginary collection of entangled souls is the imaginary shape that energy takes; entangled to hold information that is being constantly processed and that which has been already processed. We may imagine the images of many souls, which is actually a picture of information sharing between similar energies being released from their own matter. Identity of a soul is lost when it leaves the body but the information resides within energy. The true connections of energy within the cosmos look like an intertwined sphere which extends beyond the dimensions of space and time forming an undulating web of cosmic energy. 

Imagining death or the image death is an emancipation of the cosmic energy from the body; it is the release of the mind; the release of the soul, which remains in an entangled state for a while, before it merges with the energy matrix of the cosmos. The fear of death is that of a perplexed soul; for death is a passage from one energy form to another; the conversion of matter to energy; the disposition of energy to matter. Death leads to birth and birth leads towards death; information codified within the soul enriches the cosmic energy. Imagining death is picturesque for it is the interaction of the soul with the cosmic energy.  

The imaginary journey of the soul as imagined and experienced by many, seems unending as the entangled state of the soul stays until the body opts to give it up and so the information within it. The passage of the soul occurs beyond the dimension of space and time into the depths of energy but since its energy it cannot defy the conservation laws of energy and therefore follows the energy recycling process; a conversion from one form to another and the formation of matter and matter of matters. Time in soul state is in incomparable to the dimension of time in the bodily state as energy flows with no restrictions. A near-death experience is the experience of imagination and a memory of images of what lies beyond and within the depths of the cosmos.  

The path of the soul seems never-ending, for it traverses through dimensions beyond the perception of oneself. The time taken in pure soul state is far beyond the time in the bodily state; energy has no boundaries and can move between dimensions; forward and backwards of time. A realization of the experience of its limits makes the soul officious; energy is prurient and exploratory for it pursues new approaches whenever it gets a chance. It can be justifiably said, that energy has the ability to evolve and design. For energy to design and create, imagination by the mind is needed. Imaginations create orders and energy can bring these orders to life, all it needs is a body, the soul and the mind. The soul appreciates the beauty of energy through imagination. Fulfilment is achieved when the inquisitiveness of the soul is complete.  Within the imaginations of the soul lies the imaginary self of what one desires; it evokes information that has been hitherto stored. 

The body loses this entangled state to a journey which has a possibility of being transposed; the body re-claims the soul in the event of a near-death or out-of-body experience. Entanglement plays an important role during this process, as the entangled soul bears thoughts and memories of the past; information of one’s life. A near-death experience is a best example of a soul–body reversal linked to the supernatural; a force powerful to be called the creator; a guiding factor to this reversal with limits to the understanding of its working. A chance given has no reason, for it is wholly based on the organization of matter and its ability to support the soul. 

The supernatural is over all energy and energies to be known and therefore the imaginations of the supernatural are many. But to imagine the supernatural like mankind is a selfish imagination which develops from a superficial mind. Imagining the supernatural from the depths of the cosmic energy matrix that satiates the body, will image it to be overwhelming; an image like never seen before. An experience of the depth of reality where few can go and imagine; for the more we seek it the more it deepens and the energy evolves. The imprint of the cosmic energy matrix is the creation of the supernatural which has no beginning and no end. A thought itself of the supernatural can invoke the soul and the mind; there need not be an image, but the imagination itself connects the soul to the divine.

 

The cosmic energy is a collection of the souls of many; the minds of many; the consciousness of many, for it is not known but can be imagined to be the energy that thinks and that can make one think; creates and destroys matter to harbour itself in order for beings to realize its beauty. An imaginary place like the biblical heaven is actually a collection of this energy; energy filled with the information gathered by souls; their minds. Heaven is an imagination of the cosmos and its collective energy that is transformed from one form to another. If we imagine heaven, we need to imagine hell and if we do imagine both we differentiate energy into good and bad. A paltry thought that brings a divide in the mind and in the beauty of the cosmic energy doubting the creation of the supernatural.   

A divide in energy leads to a divide in the soul; a damned soul and a good soul. Cosmic energy seeks no differentiation, for the energy that prevails is pure; it is how the energy is utilized. Energy can create and so can destroy; energy creates matter and matter supports energy; energy creates the mind and the soul generates consciousness but evil is a shallow imagination of the mind. The soul within a body can choose, but outside the body is pure for it lies beyond the bounds of matter. Imaging and imagining the unclean, deprives the body to seek a better life, for the soul dies and so does the mind and as per the law of energy conservation leads to the loss of the bodily soul. The cosmic energy around us is evolving and will disavow, if the energy is utilized for unworthy purposes; a law of the supernatural.

The journey of the soul abides by the laws of energy conservation; an energy that cannot be created nor destroyed but transformed from matter to matter. From birth to death the body seeks the energy within and from the outside, and upon death the energy transforms to create matter of another kind. This imaginary cycle is the reality of all beings and is the truth of the existence of the cosmic energy and its capabilities. The cosmic energy gives us the ability to create, seek, understand and learn, but there lies more to this energy than we actually know. Our lives only experience a superficial part of this energy, the depths of which remain unexplored. Imagination can take us to great depths of the cosmic energy that resides around us, within us and beyond us.

Conclusion

Imaginations and images stored within the matrix of the cosmic energy helps to imagine the mind, the soul and consciousness bringing it out in varied colours, depictions, art and music and also through science, philosophy, culture and religion. Soul is not defined in science, but if we call it energy, it has to be defined by science, as energy is all what science is about and it is because of energy that science exists, in fact we all exist. The soul is therefore a signature of the cosmic energy created from a supernatural source that expands beyond the dimensions we perceive and so if we look deep into the imaginations of our soul we can seek what may not be perceived by us superficially. There is a need to look for things where they are, and not in places where you can’t find them; for we seek these in places where it does not exist. The power of imagination is a window to all understanding and therefore understanding the soul through imaginings and imaginations can help us understand the true nature of creativity of the cosmos, the works of the supernatural and the potential of the energy that prevails in it.

Understanding Memories...

Understanding memories of a near-death experience from the perspective of quantum entanglement and in the presence of the supernatural

Contzen Pereira and Janice Harter

Key Words

Near-Death Experience, Quantum entanglement, Memories, Supernatural, Sub-atomic cloud

Abstract

Near-death experiences are a big challenge to the fields of science and philosophy; termed as hallucinatory by neurologists and “stuff of which fantasies are made off” by sceptics, there are some unique near-death experiences which defy these claims. Memories generated during these experiences are of specific interest as they are created without a body and can be recalled post the experience. Call it the mind, soul, psyche or consciousness, if deliberated as a form of quantum generated energy, a strong correlation under a reductionist based perspective can be obtained. Life at a macroscopic level may not be similar to life at a quantum level, and has been proved in quantum physics through its spooky properties like quantum entanglement. Self-sustaining quantum generated energy through entanglement is the answer to all mystical realties and the answer lies in believing in its existence in and around us. It is this energy that brings in the awareness of one’s existence and which performs tasks beyond the imagination of the current self; an energy created at the creation of all that exists; a true supernatural force. This paper reviews a unique void near-death experience and hypothesizes quantum entanglement to be involved in the conception and storage of these energy-based memories in a quantum subatomic cloud which can be restated if returned back to the body or lost to the environment upon death.

Introduction

Be it the soul in philosophy and religion; the psyche in psychology or the mind or consciousness in science, there seems to be a resilient correlation or similarity with each of these concepts, especially in relation to its preposterousness and absurdity. From a scientific reductionist based perspective, if we reduce these notions to pure energy generated at the level of subatomic particles that exists all around us, it may seem unswerving. The problematical part is to prove the ability of these entangled subatomic particles to create and store reminiscences outside the body. Quantum studies are now revealing aspects in relations to subatomic particle energy and its ability to perform beyond the imagination of what one can accept and visualize. Quantum entanglement is a unique property in quantum physics that best describes the mysterious behaviours that take place at a quantum level with its effects observed at a macroscopic level (Peres 1993).

Near-death experiences may be termed absurd by some and hallucinatory by many (Mobbs and Watt 2011) but there sure is some depth of existence if we look at it from the perspective of quantum generated energy; a pure subatomic energy that exists in the unruly microscopic quantum world; an energy that supports the existence of what we have been addressing as the soul, psyche, mind and consciousness; the oldest form of energy created and present all through the cosmos. With consciousness alone, multiple disciplines have attempted to pinpoint what consciousness is precisely and the best academia has to offer at this point in time is the hard and easy problems of consciousness.  Perhaps our lack of understanding of consciousness has inadvertently ruled out the possibility that consciousness does, in fact exist in part outside the brain-body. If it does exist etherically as a field of energy, this may be a game-changer in terms of how we view this phenomenon of the near death experience.  This paper evaluates an experience different from the mainstream and more typical accounts of the near death experience in that this one was a positive void–based near-death experience and attempts to hypothesize this experience to be a result of quantum entanglement with the interference of the supernatural force that exists beyond the dimensions of space and time (Harter 2014).

A void-based near death experience

A near-death experience occurs at the moment of anticipated death just before biological death during which a patient is quite often clinically dead or very near death (Schroter-Kunhardt 1993). Most of the near-death experiences studied and evaluated are broadly categorized as positive and negative.  Positive near-death experiences involve a feeling of peace and tranquillity, a sensation of floating through a tunnel towards a bright light with a complete life review, while a negative near-death experience is more horrific, which is usually accompanied by unpleasant feelings of fear and panic which may or may not be associated with a life review (Blanke and Dieguez 2009). In both forms the most common and important aspect of the experience is the ability to remember the experience as a reminiscence post the experience.

Janice, whose experience I would be sharing in this paper experienced a void near-death experience, which was surprisingly a positive one along with a past and future life review. This experience is definitely unique in comparison to other near-death experiences and can bring in a correlation of her thoughts, memories and experience with the mysterious quantum world that yet needs to be fully explored. Since most near-death cases of the void are negative and associated with a feeling of fear and darkness, her positive experience along with a future life review is a unique experience which retained as a memory that changed her life post the experience.

Her experience – She was 36 weeks and 9 days pregnant and was completely healthy when she went into labor in hospital. Upon admission she was given a medication called Breathine (Turbutaine) and within seconds of administering the drug intravenously, she felt her body temperature rise and she passed out.  Breathine is a bronchodilator, which dilates the bronchial openings of the lungs by relaxing them for much better flow of air in and out of the lungs. It was surprising that this drug was administered despite of it not being recommended for treating prolonged (more than 48 to 72 hours) premature labor. Fatal side effects, that includes fast or irregular heartbeats, high blood sugar and low potassium levels, fluid accumulation in lungs and heart attack have been reported after use in pregnant women. While passing out she felt her heart beat stop and felt as if she had moved from one reality to another while retaining conscious awareness. For her, the time elapsed in the void seemed around 30 – 45 minutes which was actually 3 – 4 minutes hospital time, wherein the doctors considered the case as code blue and administered a medication to counter act the first one, to revive her.

The reality that she experienced was a pure black form of nothingness; a void space which somehow didn’t seem frightening to her. She was curious to know whether she could feel her hands and legs but there was none; she was aware that she was in a place of pure transparency. In this state of transparency, she was consciously aware and was convinced that she was out of her body as she felt lighter than what she would have felt in her heavy physical body. The time spent in the dark void seemed eternal as she watched the most important sequences of her life through a life review, which stopped at a point where she had children and she could not perceive the review further. In the void there was a presence of an entity with her; she could not see it but could feel it as an inner voice, which she described as a tone. When her life review was complete, this entity sent her a thought, “Are you ready to go?” At that point of time, she was unaware of the reason why she was in the hospital and therefore within the void she confided in the thought that was sent to her by the entity and was ready to go at that moment, for in the void she considered that she had done the best of everything in life.

The tone asked her whether she was sure to go and then it showed her the moments that she had spent with her older children which ended with her the baby that was not yet born and what she would look like when she was 2 years old. Post the experience Janice gave birth to a girl and the daughter resembled the same baby she was shown during the future life review, the only thing odd was that during the review the two year old girl had shoulder length blond curly hair which was turned out to be the case with her daughter when she was two years old. This life review changed her thought; she felt love; felt a sense of incompleteness which was not until the entity showed her the future life review which was subdued within the void which seemed more self-oriented. A longing for completeness of her life review lead the entity to grant her wish and within a single spin of her heart beat she was back into her body and she heard the voices of the hospital staff as they spoke of not disclosing her state to her friends who were present during the event for fear of upsetting her in her delicate condition.

Quantum entanglement as a reason for memory retention post the near-death experience and the interference of the supernatural force depicting the future

According to reductive science, matter is nothing but a form of energy; an energy created by the bizarre. In quantum physics when two particles are entangled they behave as one and not as two separate particles, so what happens in the quantum world is completely different from what we perceive in the macroscopic world, which also holds true for the world of quantum biology. In an entangled state of sub atomic particles there will be a constant exchange of energy between these particles which somehow interacts with one another resulting in information gathering. Hameroff and Chopra suggest that quantum entanglement of low-energy particles could interact even outside the body suggesting a near-death experience; therefore the existence of a quantum soul (Hameroff and Chopra 2012).

In order to justify this theory, we need to hypothesize that the flow of energy within the body occurs through quantum interactions for which the microtubular network is the ideal support framework that is known to quantum compute information. Based on this hypothesis, it can be suggested that the information gathering may occur as a result of quantum entanglement of the sub atomic particles within the microtubules resulting in the formation of a subatomic cloud that acts as a holographic image processor. The subatomic cloud of energy is therefore in a constant state of exchanging energy with the cosmos with an ability to retain memory through holographic processing to commute consciousness. During a near death experience, a shutdown of the body may result in a change in the state of this quantum entangled subatomic cloud of energy wherein post shutdown the microtubules cease to compute consciousness but the holographed memories, identity and cognition with emotion and function remains intact within the sub atomic cloud, until the body can be revived or resuscitated.

The experience in the void for Janice was reportedly beautiful as well as peaceful and these memories changed her life thereafter. Based on the above hypothesis, her subatomic particle cloud, with her past memories remained intact outside her body as she experienced her past a life review. The most important memory to be noted in her experience was the awareness of her being outside her body. Her curiosity to feel the presence of her hands and legs assured her that she was in a state of pure transparency which confirms her awareness within the void, where she could differentiate between her physical and non-physical body; she could feel the presence of her own subatomic energy cloud. Based on her experience it can be assumed that this awareness was computed within the quantum entangled subatomic cloud outside the body creating a holographic image within this cloud to be retained as a memory which was reiterated when she was rescusitated.

The ability to see her life review of the future was unique to her near death experience. Life reviews of the past has been observed in many near death experiences and is surely a link to the recalling of memories that may be stored as holographic images within the quantum entangled particles within the microtubular network of the brain and body. But a future life review is rare, especially when it comes true, which was obvious in her experience. The image of her daughter before she was born during the experience is more inclined to the presence of a supernatural form; a form which creates experiences within and beyond the domains of space and time; a form who resides over all possible dimensions; the symmetric form of light that created all of what exists.

The beauty of such a memory lies in the image created of something that does not exist; in this case the image of her daughter was created and was holographed within her subatomic cloud to be stored and to be observed in the future. A supernatural force may sometimes seem irrational during such a scientific discussion but science sometimes does not have an answer to every question and impetuses one to be more open to the consideration of the possibility of a supernatural. This does not mean that there is no science behind the supernatural; rather it is the supernatural that utilizes science to make us appreciate our existence. Experiencing the creation of the supernatural is the true appreciation of the subjective experience of one’s consciousness, for like the supernatural, it will always remain a beautiful mystery ( Pereira 2015).

Conclusion

Self-sustaining energy is the answer to all mystical realties and the answer lies in believing in its existence in and around all living beings; that which brings in the awareness of one’s existence and which performs tasks beyond the imagination of the current self awareness; an energy created at the creation of all that exists; a supernatural force beyond our imagination. Near death experiences cannot wholly be definitively referred to as hallucinations as they do not correspond with such objective reality. For during a near-death experience the brain is inactive and as of now there is no study that has detected activity in the vision centre of the brain during a near-death experience. A biophysical visual representational model has been developed to show the involvement of low-energy quantum entanglements during near-death experiences (Bokkon et al 2013).  

The quantum world is mysterious; the entanglement of particles at a subatomic level within a biological network of the microtubules is where memories and awareness gets computed. The subatomic energy cloud has the ability to perform within the system as well as outside the system, which is clearly demonstrated during a near-death experience. Awareness and memories is therefore fundamental; a form of energy that exists all around us, created by the supernatural and computed by particles in the quantum world and our bodies are like quantum processors that are an emerging creation meant to increase its intelligence and build its identity. Memories can therefore be created with and without the presence of a body; for it is computed within the realms of the quantum world that lies beyond the imagination of oneself evident during a near-death experience.

Cosmic Weather 2015 year-end wrap up and 2016 Forecast

2015 Recap ~ 

I made a joke a few weeks ago on my Facebook page when I suggested that in response to 2015 that we begin 2016 with a “box of chocolates, a good cry and a vacation.” Though it was a good giggle, it turned out plenty of people have shared my sentiment. It seems like a lot of the hope and magic we were hoping for regarding 2015 didn’t exactly happen anywhere close to how we imagined it. In my own life, I faced some challenges that I referred to as “Jedi Skills Training” and that’s not far from the truth. I was shown in greater depth about the nature of energy – both positive and negative. It did however, inspire a new book “The Aquarian Empath, Part 2.” So that was the gold to come from that particular shadow, which was also a recurring theme in the collective. One of my wise friends predicted that despite how rough around the edges we may be feeling at the end of this unusual and enigmatic year, we would end it on a high note. I agree. How so? This year has shown us many things; primarily how strong that we can be especially when we are united as one family of love. It takes bigger storms to knock us over these days. It hasn’t exactly been a cakewalk gaining strength and greater awareness, but the rewards are great and will continue to pay dividends for us in the future. 

The second return of Saturn in Scorpio: challenges and gifts 

Last Summer we saw another pass of Saturn in Scorpio. Plenty of my astrologer friends noted that upon its return it was wearing army boots and ready to rumble and that it did. I had a feeling by the time we were through with that particular Saturn cycle we would view death and losses differently and for the most part, many of us have. The Buddhist practice of impermanence really hit home this year and for some, very close to the bone. This in combination with Chiron and Neptune in Pisces has definitely increased psychic sensitivity in the Collective. I had some very interesting conversations about my experiences in Spirit with some pretty unlikely folks this year, which has demonstrated a greater openness to another reality after physical transition as a more generally accepted concept. 

One of the great gifts of this intense and fast moving year is a rarified form of *presence.* That is what so many big and little “deaths” will do for you, personally and collectively. It’s a kind of presence that couldn’t be made, but had to be born. I’ve often said before that it’s a matter of feeling like there is no time to waste. Before the new age contingency has at it, that statement is more allegorical than literal. Besides in the physical world time still does exist in a fashion, though even that as a concept is changing too.

Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away to the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that, we still are. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me. 

Pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect. Without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same that it ever was. There is absolute unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you. For an interval. Somewhere. Very near. Just around the corner. All is well. – Henry Scott Holland (1847-1918) 

Breakups, loves lost and regained ~ 

I boogied in the ballroom, I boogied in the dark. Make you sweat, make you scream, make you wish you’d never been. I lost a lot of love over you. – Jagger/Richards 

I heard about a lot of breakups this year and not just the romantic kind. Long term professional associations dissolved, family issues exploded and long lost lovers returned to even the playing field. 

Venus (recently in Scorpio) may have brought out some jealous or obsessive behavior in some, but on the up side it has brought healing and negotiation where it simply was not possible before. 

The big shifts in this area may be contributing to the “What the ___ was that?!” reaction and the integration time that is often required. This in my opinion is par for the course in a “8” Universal Year which is associated with magnification and that can also include karma. 

Looking ahead at 2016

Interestingly 2016 is a “9” Universal Year which is classically associated with completion, rest, possible grief and disappointment. It is the culmination of all the preceding numbers that came before it. It is a significant “reset point” before the start of a new “1” cycle. More esoteric aspects of the 9 include humanitarianism and service to the all. It is the flip side of the “6” which is associated with love and care of one’s family and immediate circle to take it to a more universal level and a broader circle. Also, wisdom, accomplishment, and the attaining of one’s goals. 

The number 9 is also interesting in terms of popular culture in songs such as “Cloud 9” by the Temptations and “Number 9 Dream” by Lennon and “Revolution #9” attributed to Lennon/McCartney/Ono. John Lennon was known to have a particular fascination with the number. It also has an association over the years with otherworldliness, freedom from suffering and a dreamlike quality. 

I wanna say I love the life I live. And I’m gonna live the life I love. Up here on Cloud 9, I’m riding high. – Temptations 

It is related to the 9th card in Tarot which is “The Hermit.” The Hermit is also associated with the search for truth, inner light and also the willingness to share acquired knowledge with others. He carries a staff and lantern in the form of the six-pointed star, both symbols of power and initiation. The astrological signs associated with both the 9 and The Hermit are Aquarius and Virgo. 

2016 is a pivotal year in the unfolding of peace and abundance upon Gaia. Lightworkers continue to hold the line of Light. 

Lightworkers are also Peacekeepers. They do not “make” peace per se, but further anchor the reality of peace as a true spiritual state. Though the “9” Universal Year vibration is often associated with completion, it also sets the stage for an entirely new vibration and cycle. You will especially see this “ramp up” in the second half of the year starting with the 8/8 Gateway. – The Keepers, 12/30/15 

2016 is also the Year of the Red Fire Monkey in the Chinese Calendar. The Chinese New Year begins on 2/8/16. Interestingly, the Monkey is the ninth sign in Chinese astrology. The main attributes of the monkey are: ambition, mischief, activity and adventure. Maybe this is the year that we get more control of the “monkey mind?” The Hermit and Monkey are energies that upon first glance don’t naturally fit together, but as in many astro-cosmic combinations we have yet to see the synergy that will unfold. The Monkey is also associated with change and quantum leaps. This will definitely be a year to continue to “take our act on the road” as the Keepers have referred to in terms of our talents, gifts and offerings. We’re ready for those new leaps and bounds, and we need not let old fears and limitations hold us back any longer. 

In the last three years especially, we have been shown the limitations and potency of our own fears, thoughts and projections. We have a growing knowledge that while our own individual worlds are important and still so important to us, our own contribution to the collective is also known and understood. In 2016 what are we bringing to the table of humanity in our own unique form of service? 

Wishing you all a blessed and beautiful New Year!

Healing Collective Trauma, Stopping the Static and Re-aligning with the Divine Plan ~

Hello friends. Well as you can imagine I’ve been quite busy since last week as a cosmic correspondent. Last weekend was a tough place to be in social media, but it did give me a good idea on what was going on in the collective consciousness. Whoa. As my one wise friend likes to say, “the cheese was thick on the ground.”  

I admit I was heavily impacted, especially that on the week of the glorious 11:11 Stargate such horrendous things would happen in the world. I know many of you were also. (NOTE: There is more commentary by the Keepers and myself on these incidents at my previous blog post, “Thoughts on Recent Events in Paris.”)

Having some time to contemplate and confer with Guidance after I cleared my energies, I was able to get some further clarity. As you know I’ve been following and tracking the astro-cosmic influences and have commented often on the intensity and “magnification” aspects of the “8” Universal Year energies. Like most things that exist in a 3-5D scenario, they can be interpreted on several levels. 


 

 Though this meme from “Zoolander” is certainly funny and apt for the moment, shaming others is definitely not. It’s also a subtle, but real form of bullying. A popular sentiment that’s been going around heavily in social media is to shame or give people static for not being concerned about what other think they should be. As in the examples of Paris vs. Lebanon, and so forth. This is a form of divisive thinking that helps no one, except perhaps the negative aspects of ego/ordinary mind. I used the word “static” for a reason, as in times of pain, trauma and chaos the collective noise gets very high and the resultant vibration unsteady. I have also noticed that it’s a convenient way to project (i.e. “offload”) the anger, pain and helplessness that many people feel in times of violence and crisis as opposed to taking responsibility and not adding to the collective garbage heap.

“It’s like saying, “these people don’t deserve our deep sympathy because they’re much better off than these other people in the world.” That type of comparison is deadly to compassion. “Politically correct” shaming (and possibly resultant guilt) gone overboard won’t help us relate better to each other. This, to me, is more reflective of our collective inability to sit with discomfort, while having no answers to this insane level of violence in the world. Outward projection is always divisive, and ultimately, serves no one.” – Alyce Walker

I couldn’t have said it any better myself than this wonderful quote by Alyce Walker. “Sitting” with our pain is not easy, especially in a culture that supports taking a pill, buying more stuff and/or generally numbing out rather than to face reality. Being with pain also bringing a vulnerability and rawness that is also not especially condoned or supported in our culture, where excessive “Yang” attitudes are still prevalent, although that IS changing. One of the gifts in situations like this is actually a return to the Healing Angels, Taras and Great Mother, to lay our fear and pain at their feet and allow their loving compassion to penetrate our hearts and softened places. There is a resistance to this in certain circles, as the understanding that our “soft spots” actually contain great power is not yet a very popular view. Psychic and emotional “Armoring” created from pain and resistance can be penetrated, while the open truth of feelings simply ARE. This is not to imply however, (especially for Empaths and Sensitives) that we do not take precautions with our own personal/psychic energy, which is another matter.

So what CAN we do? Since ultimately we are all ONE, what are we bringing to the table of humanity? Our pain, fear and projection or our love, peace and essence? This is something that we indeed do have some control over. As we become aware of the unfolding of more frightening and violent world events, I am reminded of the “Two Worlds” scenario mentioned by noteworthy Indigo/New Earth Researcher and author Dolores Cannon, and also several others. The division between vibration and “worlds” is becoming more evident and pronounced. It is essential that we guard our energies and thoughts well and that we choose wisely in terms of media, conversations and even companions. 

**I especially invite all energy workers, Reiki and IET practitioners to include the Collective in your work. Archangels Michael and Raphael are especially helpful in clearing fear and trauma to restore health and balance.

Forces of Light will overcome the forces of darkness. Complete spiritual enlightenment on Earth will occur. – Edgar Cayce

From the centre which we call the race of men, Let the Plan of Love and Light work out. And may it seal the door where evil dwells. Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth. – excerpt from “The Great Invocation,” received by Alice Bailey in 1945 (Lucis Trust)

In my work with the Akashic Wisdom Keepers over the last seven years, they have often referred to this as well.

Now is the moment. The Indigos, Crystals, Lighworkers, Starseeds who are with you now number in the millions. Please do not be fooled or afraid – the restoration of Gaia is underway, no matter what illusory stories are being played out. Those who have awakened to the knowledge and truth that they are Galactic Citizens have “seen behind the curtain” so to speak, and are guided by and attuned to the higher authority of Cosmic Love. Shanti – peace unto you all. – The Keepers, Cosmic Love, page 114

Stay strong yet truthful in your vulnerability, friends. It can be done. Your light is needed and appreciated. You have seen behind the curtain and know there is much more than meets the eye. Trust your inner Guidance. Sat-Chit-Ananda. You Are That.

Elements and Origins

I saw the Body’s Exhibit over the weekend and I have to say that I am absolutely astounded at what amazing miracles we are.  Just to see how every piece and part of our physical bodies works perfectly in harmony to allow us to see, hear and do all of the things that we do each day is amazing.  It is so easy to take that for granted.  Never the one to be satisfied with the superficial, I must go deeper than the physical body.  It is elemental in nature as I have written of before, made from all of the elements, perfectly.  But what is behind it, beneath it or above it?  What keeps it going?

Seeing the teeny tiny parts of the brain, I am sorry but I am not a believer that everything we are comes from just the biological hunk of fibers referred to as the brain that is merely a component part of the suit we wear.  What I have come to understand is that we are so much more.  An elemental is just that, an elemental – full of pieces and parts formed with automatic and selective processes that put the body in motion.  But what animates that form intelligently?  I call it Consciousness.  Others use different terms.  When I say Consciousness, think Energy.  I mean Consciousness with a very, very large C more in line with the absolute infinite or “All of Everything” as is quoted in the Kybalion.  Others may use the term Cosmic Consciousness, God, Goddess or Source.

There are some very unscientific theories that what animates the elemental human is a very tiny part of that infinite and vast Cosmic Consciousness.  You might call that tiny portion the spirit or the soul.  When that animating consciousness withdraws itself, the body ceases functioning and dies.  But that consciousness lives on.  Energy cannot die but can only transform.  As I walked around viewing the exhibits, I saw the forms of the elementals reduced to their most varied and basic parts and I realized the body is truly only a vehicle for our consciousness or Consciousness, I should say.

Theologians have innumerable and sometimes synchronistic positions on what we are and where we came from.  While I respect those positions and related theories, I think they fall short of the truth.  It’s something I feel deep within from that place I know I can trust more than anything.  There is a knowingness that arises within us all when we have learned to become very still and quiet.  This knowingness belongs to the chain of command, so-to-speak, that goes from the smallest part of our Consciousness straight to the Largest most Infinite part of our Consciousness.

We often take bits and pieces of premise for granted or truth without digging deeper for the evidence.  Take our very existence as a prime example.  We rest our theories on writings from antiquity but where is the proof?  There isn’t any proof.  If we intended to prove how we came to be, there are so many intangible ideas we must contend with.  Science contends with this every day and they must create a premise from which they can build their hypotheses and theories.  So, we started somewhere and just went with that and we still hold today that we were created by a white bearded man who created two individuals in His image, one male and one female, yin and yang.

In the creation myths that abound from various cultures all over the globe, there are very similar and also very different tales of our origins.  Our origins seem a bit obscure, to put it lightly.  Some think we are aliens.  Maybe we are.  Some think we evolved from apes or fish.  Maybe we did.  Some think we were created by the Great White Bearded God that lives in a magical kingdom called heaven.  Maybe we did.  Some believe that we individuated from the great Cosmic Consciousness to enter this dimension as a holographic elemental image for the purpose of having an experience that we take back to the Source of the Cosmic Consciousness when we’ve completed our experiencing.  Maybe we did.

Where does that leave any of us who are wondering about our origins?  How do you choose when belief is all you have and very little if any evidence at all? Some might say, “Now Jaie, you must have faith.”  “In what?,” I would respond.  I have faith in my Consciousness.  You see, I had the privilege of being Conscious outside of the body in this vast nothingness and everythingness that was so peaceful, so very quiet that for the first time in my life I could think and be without everything that comes with these elemental trappings.  But even that experience is only filtered through my perception so cannot be objective.

When I go with that inner knowing feeling, I feel that I am a tiny part of a much bigger Spirit that stays always and ever connected to Source and in my moments of greatest inspiration or intuition it is THAT voice that speaks to me subtly, encouragingly and lovingly to guide me through this situation or that.  When I consider such things, origins become a bit unimportant as I turn to other questions like “Why am I here at all?”  Wouldn’t that be a cool question to have answered?  Again, I can’t go with anything the outside world would project upon me because it wouldn’t resonate as truth with me, with that still small voice of the Spirit that comes through nudging me this way or that.  My dissatisfaction I find is nothing more than an attachment that I really need carry no longer.  My Spirit knows where it came from and the elemental me that will return to the dust from whence it came when my consciousness pulls out for the last time will query no more. 

In all my questing for answers to the unanswerable, rather than give in to the frustration or buying anyone else’s answers as a definitive truth, I will go with what I trust and that is me.  I trust me implicitly.  My soul and spirit are clean.  I trust what comes through and I’m reassured that I need question no further.  I need only live and love and enjoy my time in this type of experience until my consciousness moves onto something else and be content with that.  Can I do it?  Yes, I think so and it starts today. 

In a way, I will always be an explorer of consciousness and seeking understanding of all of the things that create our behaviors and desires.  There is a part of me that wishes to protect an Earth that needs no protecting (yet another attachment).  All is perfect as it is because from it we are learning to take greater care.  From the tragedies we learn to be more careful with each other and ourselves.  From the hard times we learn to truly find gratitude for the good times.  From the desolate and lonely times we learn to turn within for comfort, solace and love.  These things and realizations take lifetimes sometimes.  And, that is okay.  So, suffice it to say, I’ve come to accept life on its terms and to have faith in myself to master whatever task I am called to master. That is my Consciousness and within that, I have that much faith in myself and no fear of failure.  Failure is learning. Am I any closer to the truth?  Well, I can’t say that I am for anyone else but I can say so for me.
