Celestial Vision

We want to take you once more "behind the scenes" of your inner world to give you a glimpse of the role played by your higher self and its complement of "past and future life selves" in your present-moment existence.

Before we proceed with this discussion, we will explain how past and future lives operate in general. The merging of the conscious self with the higher self is generally a slow process over time, but due to the shifting currents within your world, there is now a "fast tracking" of growth for many awakening souls. This is a process that can throw the conscious existence into something akin to a physical
"detox" state.

The Role of Your Higher Self

Your higher self is your council of advisers. This council is comprised of all the "selves" you have been or will be with all the wisdom, knowledge and experience they have amassed. Your higher self resides in the realm of your subconscious mind. To be able to access your inner council at will, you must learn to navigate the emotional level that bridges conscious and subconscious minds. For many in your world, crossing this bridge from conscious to subconscious mind is an arduous task. This task may feel to some along the lines of a lifelong city dweller who travels alone through a dense jungle. This journey inevitably calls forth many deep-seated fears of unknown dangers and life-threatening encounters. Many of these fears reside within cellular memory and collective consciousness.

In order to navigate the emotional level at will, you will need to work through unresolved emotional issues. Once you navigate the jungle of unresolved emotions, you can reliably travel into your subconscious mind to commune with your higher self. As you come into greater communion with your higher self, you are able to access the wisdom of your inner council of past and future selves.

The Gifts of Spiritual Communion

Communing with your higher self also helps you access the talents, skills and abilities of your other "selves." It is when an individual joins forces with their "selves" across time that an Einstein or a Mozart is born. Each soul is unto themselves an entire spiritual community comprised of all the selves that make up their past and future incarnations. When the "self" who is currently incarnated becomes over-identified with physical reality, they tend to lose touch with the spiritual community of their inner homeland. This is much like the individual who migrates to a country far from where they were born and loses touch with his or her family of origin. For these individuals, life is burdened with a sense of loss and longing that over time can erode the flow of life force energy.

The greatest joy an awakening soul experiences is when they begin to receive spontaneous communications from their other selves. There is an immediate recognition akin to receiving a long letter from home after years of isolation and silence. This is what happens when the emotions are cleared sufficiently to allow communication with the higher self. This is the essence of a spiritual awakening experience that dramatically changes the present-moment life and begins to attune consciousness with the spiritual destiny for the current lifetime.

Understanding Past and Future Lives

Before we move on in our discussion, we want to clear up the issue of past and future life selves. While many are familiar with the concept of past life selves, there is often less understanding of future life selves. Both past and future life entities exist beyond the boundaries of linear time. As present-life "veils" are removed, you are able to access both past and future selves to the degree that such access facilitates your spiritual growth. Both past and future selves have valuable information to share with you, but you will not be able to access this information until you come into resonance with it.

Your Present Moment is Holographic to All Incarnations

We now return to your present life, which is holographic in nature. A single life is to the arc of lifetimes as a drop of water is to the ocean. In this way, there is much you can learn about your past and future life selves by developing awareness of the various parts of your self that play a dominant role in your current life. At any given time, according to your current needs and life circumstances, an "aspect" of your higher self is informing and advising your conscious, present-moment self. Many who are incarnated are not aware when these changeovers in spiritual advisers take place, but they are often aware when a sudden "change of heart" and change in direction takes place in their lives.

If the present-moment consciousness is deeply identified with the physical life and the aspect of self that is currently in charge of the life, these changeovers in spiritual guidance can be dramatic. This rigidity and resistance to change slows spiritual progress. Over time, one of two scenarios takes place in a given life. In one scenario, the conscious mind expands its spiritual awareness to more readily adapt to these changeovers, surrendering to the need for spiritual growth and communion. In the second scenario, the conscious mind becomes increasingly resistant to spiritual progression. In this instance, the soul begins to "phase out" the incarnation by slowly cutting off the flow of life force to the body. This is why an individual faced with a life-threatening illness sometimes awakens to the need for spiritual growth and begins progressing again. At this point, the soul often chooses to "re-instate" life force to the incarnation. This is when remissions and "miracles" occur.

Embracing "Changeovers" in Spiritual Guidance

To be able to fulfill your life purpose of spiritual growth, it is important to set your intention to welcome and embrace each new aspect of "self" that comes into your life to guide and assist you to your next stage of growth. You can begin a dialogue with each new guiding entity to learn more about this past or future self's lifetime and where they reside. These advising selves are aspects of your inner spiritual community for the present lifetime, just as your past and future life selves represent the spiritual community of your soul. Each life mirrors all other lifetimes and contains within it the possibility for inner communion and homecoming.

By entering the Portal of Spiritual Awareness, you are able to expand your present-moment consciousness to welcome and embrace each aspect of your higher self that arises in your life to guide you to the next phase of spiritual understanding. In time, this intention to welcome and embrace spiritual awareness bridges your present-moment consciousness with your higher self, bringing you into direct
communion with your selves across all-time and all-that-is.

We would like to explain the importance of the physical body in relation to the growth and feeding of the spirit.  There is often in your world the misunderstanding that the body is of little consequence to the spirit much as a roadside hotel is to a traveler. In fact, the body is contained within the spirit and not the other way around.  It may be said that your body is a direct reflection of your consciousness.

Even so, a decision on your part to transform your life will create the desired result regardless of where you choose to focus -- the physical level or the spiritual.  If you believe that creating a physical expansion will allow your consciousness to express itself more fully, this will be true for you.  A physical transformation will allow you to 'house' more consciousness.  While it may seem the physical shift "allowed" a shift in consciousness, it actually started in consciousness.  Everything always begins in consciousness.  If you decide to work at the spiritual level to create a shift, your body will shift accordingly.  As above, so below.

The Body as Biofeedback Device

The body is designed as a biofeedback device - a way for thoughts to find their way into the physical realm where they can be directly experienced.  These hands-on encounters with the children of your thoughts help you bring your conscious mind into spiritual alignment.

If the body manifests a disease, this is an indication that the thoughts playing on the screen of the mind are not spiritually aligned.  This is not a judgment, only a mechanism for seeking to bring awareness of the spiritual laws that exist in the universe so each person can bring their existence into harmony with these laws.

When confronted with illness, many seek relief from the discomfort that has been created. It is natural to choose to avoid discomfort.  Before you seek to eradicate the symptoms, it is wise to listen to the messages they are bringing you and distill as much information from them as you can.  By learning to perceive symptoms at more subtle levels and "reading" their meaning, you gain awareness of the understandings you were seeking by creating the symptoms in the first place.  Once you see the bigger picture of an illness, you can address it at all levels in a holistic way -- mind, body and spirit.  This is the way to create permanent healing.

If humanity embraced the lessons of its physical creations, you would not see doctors’ offices brimming with those seeking relief from their latest creations!  We are not arguing here for or against seeking treatment. The point is, however a condition is addressed and ultimately healed, this healing is only temporary and partial if not accompanied by an examination and understanding of how and why it was created.  A failure to bring one’s awareness to the root issues of illness ensures that the energetic cause will re-manifest itself in similar or different ways.

Many people in your world visit a medical doctor or other healer several times for the same illness over the course of their lives.  If an understanding were gained upon the first manifestation of an illness, there would be no need for further healing of it.  This is how the body's biofeedback system is intended to work. When a person seeks to avoid the causes of their illness by rushing to the nearest healer to enact a cure, they often fail to get at the root cause. This guarantees the energy of the illness will return.  Over time, the energy of the illness will become stronger as the body grows weaker and less able to replicate itself.  This is when rapid aging and physical death occurs.  The way to turn this around is to “read” every physical manifestation and understand its meaning.  Once you establish a dialogue with your creations, you are able to learn their meaning. In this way, you are able to fine-tune the thoughts, emotions, beliefs and attitudes that are the recipes for your creations.  As in food preparation, if you find the taste of your food to be “off,” you comb through the list of ingredients until you identify the source of the “off” note and correct it.

"Reading" the Energy of an Illness

Reading the energy of your physical creations is a matter of looking at the affected part of the body and its purpose.  If a person manifests diabetes, for example, this has to do with the pancreas, which is linked with regulating blood sugars.  Sugar is "sweetness," which symbolically reveals a person’s experience of sweetness and joy.  Aside from whatever course of healing is needed, the person diagnosed with diabetes would do well to also examine issues of sweetness and joy in their life.  They might look at what gives them joy and find more ways to create these feelings.  By setting an intention and following up with the necessary actions, it is possible to create more “sweetness” in life experiences.

The feet are yet another "easy read."  Symbolically, your feet are your spiritual foundation.  In the physical life, they are the body's foundation.  As above, so below is a truth to remember when interpreting the symbolic meaning of a disease.  In the case of feet, those who have studied reflexology know that parts of the feet are intricately connected to other parts of the body.  In the same way, your spiritual foundation is linked to every part of your life experience, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

By entering the Portal of Spiritual Manifesting, you are able to review the recipes of all your physical creations and read the energy of their symbolic meanings.  Once a symbol is grasped and understood, you have in effect signed off on the "receipt confirmation" form, and the universe’s etheric postal service will halt its attempts to bring this particular package of physical illness to your door.

There is a thoughtform that exists on the Earth plane that thrives in certain levels of consciousness. This is the thoughtform of slavery. There are obvious ways in which this thoughtform manifests itself in your world. In some cases, human beings are literally bought and sold. To those who consider themselves to be living in an enlightened society, these more obvious forms of slavery are not acceptable. Yet even as you may consider this reality far from your daily existence, it swirls all around you, eating at the heart of collective consciousness, a worm constantly reproducing itself in new forms. The bright hope of all the universe is that a new awareness drifting through the dreams of earthly life will take hold and seed freedom within Earth’s future history. To assist you in awakening to these new dreams, we will shine the light of awareness on the many ways the thoughtform of slavery infiltrates your world.

The Master/Slave Thought Form

First, we bring your attention to the mindset many humans hold toward the other kingdoms that exist on the Earth plane. These are animal, plant and mineral. There is a way of seeing all life subjugated to the careless will of a blind master who sees only his own wishes and desires. There is a great misunderstanding in your world that this carelessness is acceptable. It is the way in which the most helpless in your world are treated that charts the course of your society in the records of all-time. This includes the way in which the environment is viewed. This perspective is at the root of your present environmental crisis and the extinction of many animal and plant species.Those who enslave and mistreat the meek among you reap the rewards of an enslaved consciousness constantly pushing against the ever narrowing confines of a closed heart and mind. Whenever a human steps free of this most basic enslaving thoughtform, a great song rises from the angelic realm. Heaven and Earth step closer together.

The second form of enslavement is false wealth. Understand the only true wealth is an abundance of the flow of spirit into the life. If wealth of resources is needed to fulfill one's earthly mission, wealth in all forms materializes to the extent it is needed and used. If the need is for an abundance of time, wealth will appear in that form. True wealth takes many forms depending on the need of the life purpose.

The True Nature of ‘Karma’

On Earth, false wealth is often created by those who do not understand the principles of true wealth. False wealth is any gain created at the expense of others -- other humans, animals, plants, minerals and the Earth itself. This wealth is always created at the expense of one's own personal mission in life, and at the expense of one's spiritual progression. This is a point where great karma is created in your world. Remember that karma is the triggering of a series of events to create needed understandings. If a person is in the business of buying and selling human beings, they in effect trigger and set into motion future events -- in this lifetime or another -- that will help them understand how this activity is not aligned with the will and desire of their spirit. Sometimes gaining an understanding of this magnitude is a journey that spans lifetimes. Sometimes it is the journey of a few hours or seconds, depending on the readiness of the consciousness for spiritual alignment.

The Master is the Slave

Even when one gains awareness of ways in which they seek to enslave others, they may remain unaware of ways in which they continue to enslave themselves. Examples would be jobs that are not fulfilling, religions and ideologies that limit growth, diets and lifestyles that poison the existence, and old programming from a number of sources that range from family influences to institutional efforts to program and enslave mass consciousness.

At subtle levels, the enslavement of others may be unintentional and may only be an offshoot of the practice of enslaving oneself. Here is a great truth about the human condition: a person rarely treats others better than they treat themselves. That is why true love and compassion must grow from within.

This enslavement of self is the third means of enslavement. This is often the last to go and the most difficult to release. It is important you understand that all of what has been described -- the enslavement of the helpless and the enslavement of false wealth - both of these include enslavement of self. If a person seeks to enslave another, they enslave themselves. This may not be in the same way that one is enslaving others because enslavement of self is infinitely more profound. While a person may be able to enslave another's physical existence, they are not necessarily able to enslave another’s spirit. When one enslaves oneself, it is at all levels – body, mind and soul.

Lightworkers and Self-Enslaving Thoughtforms

This self-enslavement is a thread that continues to bind many would-be lightworkers to a lower vibration that casts a dim glow on the world they seek to heal. At this time when the radiant light of spirit is greatly needed to free the Earth plane of its shackles, many of those who have volunteered to focus and anchor the beam of this light enslave themselves in many manifestations of illusion such as addictions, codependency, false wealth and apathy. Some in your world have chosen to enclose themselves in a literal wall of flesh, effectively shackling their present existence to past dietary choices and self-destructive habits. What is worse, powerful souls who choose to enslave themselves unconsciously bring down the vibration of all those around them.

To free one's own consciousness, one must be willing to enter the Portal of Spiritual Freedom again and again. Spiritual freedom is the ability to choose one's highest path inside every moment, unhindered by illusory thoughts and beliefs that block the path to self-realization and the unconditional love of all-that-is. It is inside this portal where every aspect of one's waking dream is examined to detect the ways in which one is enslaving their own consciousness and that of others. Inside this portal, guides assist in bringing awareness of enslaving thoughtforms that still permeate the consciousness, and help create the vision for a future free of all forms of slavery. It is the recognition of one's own enslavement and will toward freedom that turns the key in the lock, releasing the shackles of all thoughtforms that imprison consciousness. Beyond these shackles exists a deep and profound freedom where the soul unites fully with the earthly consciousness, ushering in a new day in human consciousness.
