The Messengers Touch: Inside Out
While walking from my
friends and their celebration of my return I was approached by a messenger. He
looked just like anyone else but when he began to speak I knew inwardly who he
was. The messenger asked if I would like to tell others of my sojourn and I said
I would. He told me he had access to the record of all activity in Home
including all of my experiences in the Anomaly. The messenger said if I wish he
could bring anything to my awareness he found helpful. He asked if I wished to
recall my experiences in the Anomaly, and I said I did.
I
was totally surprised when in the Anomaly it was suggested by one of my friends
that reality was internal and not external as it appeared to be. This
contradicted everything my experiential self had learned. However, because my
motivational self knew this to be true I found the concept appealing. In Home
we take for granted that all reality is experienced inwardly, while in the
Anomaly the reverse is true. My experience has taught me that the illusion of
separateness in the Anomaly is what makes possible the concept of an outside
focus possible. Only after I became accustomed to the separateness of things in
the Anomaly did I begin to understand the connectedness of internal and
external reality. For example, it was like plucking a thought from my head,
holding it out in front of me to inspect it from all sides and then with this
new insight returning it from where it came.
In
the Anomaly it was quite natural to set aside my experiential mind at regular
intervals to give my motivational mind an unhindered opportunity to revitalize
my body. This process is called sleep and it is how I shut down my experiential
mind. The amount of it we require each day varies with need. Additionally, the
confinement of time and space is shocking to my motivational mind and it needs
to make many adjustments that are best done when my experiential mind is at
rest. During this renewal or rest period my motivational mind operates without
any interference from my experiential mind. The process is entirely internal.
Although my experiential mind does not participate in this activity it does
observe it. When I awaken from my rest my experiential mind recalls some of
what took place. However it does not have the ability to comprehend what it
witnessed so it creates a symbolic story around the events. These symbols are
drawn largely from my experiential mind’s waking experiences. We call this
symbolic recall a dream.
The
dream state occurs when my experiential self reaches the proper state of rest.
At these times I observe the activity and even converse with my motivational
self. Although my motivational self is fully active throughout my sleep, only
at those times of deep relaxation or what we call the dream state does my
experiential self process what it observes. During sleep my motivational self
processes the experiences my experiential self has taken it through in my
waking state. As a result so many of my dreams seem to be addressing events
that took place the day before even though the symbols I use are from
experiences throughout my life in the Anomaly. Based on how my motivational
self feels about my activity I have either a pleasant or unpleasant dream. I
have found ways to interpret my dreams; that is to decipher the symbols,
resulting in a real collaboration between my motivational self and my
experiential self. Second to understanding the language spoken in my native
residence in the Anomaly, understanding my dream language is the most valuable.
My
motivational or mental self often disengages during sleep and leaves the
confines of Anomaly. Because of the overwhelming feeling of confinement my
mental self experiences in the Anomaly these sleep state journeys are
incredibly invigorating. When my mental self experiences these periods of
release my experiential self awakens with a heightened feeling of wellbeing. It
is during these journeys my mental self is invigorated, it renews the life
force it expended maintaining my physical body and upon awakening I feel an
increase in energy.
In
my dream state my experiential mind experiences the sensations that are aroused
by the symbols. The process is internal and seems quite natural. Everything in
the dream seems quite real. Because the process is inward it is clearer and
more vibrant than what I view when fully awake. For the rest of my experience
in the Anomaly there is the sway back and forth. When asleep I readily accept
this inward focus, the world of the mind as reality and when I awake I consign
the experience having been a fantasy. Yet my motivational mind never thinks my
external focus is without merit while my experiential mind takes the opposite
approach. Here is where I began to reason the possibility that inward focus may
indeed be a valid approach.
The
illusion of reality being fully outside could not be maintained in the Anomaly
in all things. To exercise my sense of smell I had to internalize the molecules
of matter. The same was true of my sense of taste; it must take place
internally. As for my sense of sight, I had to allow the image to enter myself
through my eyes and travel through my nerves before I could perceive an image. I
could not exercise my sense of hearing until I allowed vibrations to enter me
and register in my brain. Finally I could exercise my sense of touch only once
I allowed the sensations to enter me through my nervous system and travel along
my central nervous system. What I found was whatever I perceived as outside of
me must be internalized before I could actually experience it.
Once
I began to question the relationship of my internal experiences to my external
ones did I begin to fully value each. I was still able to relate to everything
around me as being separate from me but I could then gradually appreciate the
internal connectedness of all things. In this way I could focus intensely on
some things at the exclusion of others, while at the same time I could gain an
appreciation for the connectedness of everything. It was a delightful surprise
to me when I discovered in the anomaly that although reality is really inward I
can fix my attention upon my experiences as though they were external. From this
I have learned what appears to be external in the Anomaly is very real but it
is projected by me to supply the clarity that comes from isolating the images.
There
are ways in the Anomaly to recall certain experiences stored in my mental self
as well as dialogue between my experiential and motivational self. The process
is also invigorating because it allows an increased flow of the renewing life
force stored in my motivational self to pour out upon my experiential self. We
call this process meditation and it is a quieting process where my experiential
mind can be stilled sufficiently to allow my motivational mind the untrammeled
freedom it enjoys only in deep sleep. As a result my experiential mind is only
stilled and not at complete rest. In this way it can observe and in most cases recall
the entire experience. My meditation has become a bridge over which the unseen
primal forces of my mind travel between my motivational and experiential selves.
Like a physical sense the more it is used the sharper my meditation becomes.
My
plans were formulated and set in my motivational self before I stepped into the
Anomaly; though the directions and promptings come from this primal eternal
self, the final decisions are the purview of my experiential self. We call this
freedom of choice and it is inviolate. Although my experiential self can make
whatever final decisions it deems appropriate, it is the responsibility of my
mental self to use each of them for my eternal benefit. My experiential self
enjoys unfettered freedom of choice in the Anomaly just as my motivational self
has been bestowed with inviolate freedom of choice in Home.
While
in the Anomaly I have become accustomed to borders. That is to say I have
become comfortable with time and space. Time being the progression of events
and space the separation. This affords boundaries to everything so that events
appear isolated. In this way I can inspect everything without the distraction
of anything else. Like so much in the Anomaly separateness is a blessed
illusion. In Home, which the Anomaly is a projection of, there are no borders,
no boundaries and no separations. Everything penetrates everything else and
this is quite a natural connection. In the Anomaly we call such an existence
oneness but our experiential mind, born in and constituted of time and space
cannot really conceive of oneness. Yet in the Anomaly we experience oneness on
a daily basis. I have observed when I look at something, listen to it, smell,
taste, and touch it all at the same time one sense does not inhibit the other
but enhances it. When I use all of my senses together not only is the acuity of
each improved but my overall perception is increased immeasurably. By
comparison, when we truly experience oneness the events that merge together do
not distract from one another but likewise add to our perception. In my deep
meditation and sleep state I have experienced a simultaneous awareness of many
things and my consciousness of each is enhanced by my concurrent awareness of
the others.
I
often become confounded in the Anomaly and think that using my senses together
will add to the confusion I sometime experience. This I have found occurs most frequently
because repetition has formed habits and habits have given rise to expectation.
In this way I may expect something bright to be loud or to feel smooth when it
shines but this and similar errors are simply the result of expectations born
of habit.
In
the Anomaly I find myself subject to separation and borders but knowing about
oneness, observing where it penetrates my day to day experiences gives me a
greater appreciation of both separateness and oneness.
I
have found everything in the Anomaly consists of energy vibrating at different
rates. As a result manifest materiality varies in density. I simply accept
without question air is not as dense as water nor is water as dense as stone. However
I have found there are states of matter that are even more sublime than gases
that simply consists of energy vibrating at a much higher rate. I do not know
from my experience how much more there is of this sublime matter than the
denser form, to which I have become accustomed, but I conjecture there must be
much more. I have experienced this finer expression of time and space, it is as
real and as the denser form, and at this point all states of matter penetrate
one another.
For
many of us the vale that separates perception of the finer forms of matter form
the denser ones is very thin indeed. There is constant movement between the
finer and denser manifestations but for some of us one or the other in more
permanent. When I first stepped in to the Anomaly I passed through this finer
region and I did so again when I stepped out. In my meditations and my deep
sleep my motivational self frequently enters the finer expression of the
Anomaly. My experiential self does not recall in great detail these experiences
because it is conditioned to the denser states. However, through meditation and
the dialogue that is possible between my mental self and my experiential self
in this and my dream state I have learned a great deal more about this finer
state. To my initial surprise I learned that I pass through this finer state during
natural sleep on a daily basis.
Although
my perspective is not as intense in the finer states my ability to influence
the formation matter is much keener. Because matter is in the initial state of
densification here in the finer region it is more malleable and subject to
manipulation by my motivational self. I have discovered it is from here the
unseen laws pour out upon the Anomaly to guide day to day life.
I
have seen how in the dream state thoughts become things. The entire process and
everything I encounter in the dream is comprised of thought. During this
experience it never occurs to me that the experience is not real and it is not
until I awaken and reinvest my attention in the three dimensional expression of
the Anomaly do I begin to question the reality I experienced in the dream
state. Yet to my mental self, the dream author and entire cast, this is as real
as anything else in the Anomaly. In the finer states my thoughts do take form
even though I may be in the denser state when they occur. What makes this
possible as long as I am in the Anomaly is that my mental self is always connected
to the finer regions.
I
scarcely believed the influence my thoughts and moods had upon life in the
finer regions. My unintended creations I call my thought forms loomed larger
than life at me peering out the window between the two realities. This was very
helpful in alerting me of the danger of holding negative emotions. These
thought forms would eventually influence forming matter in the anomaly and have
an effect on my daily affairs.
Often
I consider the location of the mind, experiential as well as motivational. I
have found it exists fully in the finer realms and because the finer completely
penetrates the denser, it is always accessible to me. Because the focus is
inward, all reality, including my mind is truly within me.
Through
time fear of the unknown gave rise to many superstitions. Many of them were regarding
the finer regions but we have been moving slowly away from this. My friends and
family in the Anomaly have been more willing to set their fear of the unknown
aside to become more comfortable with this finer expression of material reality.
Many
scientists studying the behavior of what they can detect with their senses suggest
that there are more than simply three dimensions. Most recently some have
postulated there may be at least 10. Those beyond 3 my well exist in the finer
expressions of matter and in time we may be able to interact with them as we do
radio waves, electricity and other of the unseen energies.
What
a fascinating journey this is.
The Messenger touched
my upper lip with his finger, right beneath my nose, ever so gently and
suddenly I relived with incredible clarity every single thing I experienced in
the Anomaly. Not only was it clearer to me now than it was then but I can
remember each and every emotion I experienced. Just then the messenger vanished
and I have not seen him since.
