Daydream = thought from a Higher Consciousness

[laughingRain]

Hello people. I've been reading for like I don't know how many times, Robert Monroe's work, this particular book entitled Far Journeys.
I'd like to share a description of the ascension path we're on. Starting on page 50 we will have some correlations with ACIM regarding how limited, everyday waking consciousness is like living in a dream world, this report I share with you from what is called an explorer of TMI.

Quote: "..what is called normally reality, not only physical matter, but also a certain amount of our daydreaming and our imaginative, intuitive qualities--is part of, like a large daydream or thoughtform from a higher consciousness. Just as we can daydream and invent characters and situation, we are characters in a situaion that was invented or dreamt, quite consciously dreamt by a more advanced sort of consciousness. The part that we have to play in this daydream is one of education, learning and bettering ourselves, striving to become more.

Now, I'm not clear why this kind of over-consciousness, or oversoul is having this daydream, but I have the feeling it is for it's own education. It learns as we learn. We have such limited consciousness to begin because if you are going to set up a situation whereby you expect certain processes to happen--then these processes are our education, our learning. You don't set up the most complex and involved experiment or situation. You set up a simple one that you can produce, that still has the qualities to get the results that you want. This is the reason why limited consciousness exists. It is appearance only. The reason that we have an option to develop our consciousness more fully is part of the experiment itself. We are to learn and grow and evolve and become and learn through experience in doing, and as closely as we can to understanding and being a part of, our understanding a part of our creator, our oversoul daydreamer, then, sort of, the more power to us. The more of that we can understand, then the more learning we've acquired. It's not so much that we are driven to expand our awareness, or that we should be, rather that it's available, and because it is available, makes it a direction we can evolve to, if so desired." end quote from explorer.

For those interested in the ascension path we have this discourse to view on page 53.
Quote: Levels 15 through 21 are what you call human life on this planet. When a person progresses to level 21, he then has the choice of going higher or staying within the realm of human form. But he cannot go higher, unless he is willing to give up human form.
LR's Note: We are speaking here, in general of the cycle of lives that a being takes on, and apparently, living lives on the physical ELS plane is an activity of utilizing the limited 5 sensory apparatus, which is conditioned only to physical realm and not higher consciousness, until that choice factor becomes a part of the individual to seek and learn of higher consciousness, which is available to it.
The Monitor comes in now. (this is the facilitator at TMI, who guides the explorer in and out of the altered states of awareness during the sessions.)
The question is asked: "Give up being human?"

Other Voice: IE: Channeling is taking place: Levels 22 through 38 are your bridge. They are your levels that you enter upon death. You are on level 20 and because that is an ascending level, you can enter into the realm beyond physical life, but you cannot stay there unless you are willing to give up your human form. Is that clear?"
LR's note: Not sure if the other voice is talking to Monroe, but it is possible that it was, because Monroe was able to enter into the realm beyond physical life with his frequent out of body journeys, as his consciousness was on an ascending scale of activity in so doing.
In any case the monitor voice says "that much is clear, yes."

The other voice continues: Once a person or a consciousness reaches level 28, the bridge is crossed and from that point on for a consciousness to evolve higher, it would not again assume human form of any kind, not even as a learning experience. (the voice shifts to first person narrative: "I will never incarnate again as a human--as another form of life, yes, but not as a human. The words are very hard because your plane of existence is not the same. I can perhaps explain it this way: Imagine 7 circles, which would give the 49 levels. The first 3 levels are physical matter as you know it to be. Your plants, your animals, your humans.

The 4rth circle is your bridge. (4rth dimensional shift in consciousness everyone's talking about!) The 4rth circle is a center, your realm. Here is the time in which a consciousness can choose whether to go back into the lower levels or to transcend into the higher levels, and many individuals, or units of consciousness, if you prefer, do choose to go back into the lower levels in physical form. The upper 3 circles are the realm that in your consciousness is called the spiritual realm, and here much of the work is done.

LR's notes: The voice continues that it cannot help an individual who is not on the 18th or higher level with direct guidance, but that it can give you ideas as a helper.

Then the voice explains that when it reaches level 49 it ascends beyond the 7 circles which the circles are likened to groupings of 7 (7x7=49) of the human realm, but there are still yet higher planes it can evolve to beyond this.

We are shown a description of infinity looping: Quote: Imagine the seven circles enclosed in an even larger circle upon which 7 more circles are stacked, which is in turn is enclosed in even a greater circle. Then you can have an idea of what infinity is. It does not ever stop. End quote.

Yes, that's as good an analogy of infinity that I have ever come across!

additional thought: William Cozzolino who wrote in his book The Path, describes consciousness of the human being (physical or nonphysical beings) as a sort of spider web. Your center of the web is like your "I am" and as an analogy, we see the spider sits in the center of a web.
The web is circular. On the outermost ring of the web reverberations can be felt by the spider if, say, a fly, or an idea lands on the edge. Sort of like hitting a C note on the piano causes the C note one octave above, to vibrate also.
In addition, to further this analogy, we can understand the spider is able to traverse the whole of the web; each circle of the web is relative to another state of conscious awareness; thus the human being is not actually ascending from one level to another level, but that these states of consciousness overlap it's existence. Returning to the center can be likened to centering into a physical life, and leaving the body can be likened to circumventing to the outermost edge of the spider web where yet another web, even larger, can be jumped into; for instance, we could say just because a spider's web has been destroyed, does not mean the spider has been destroyed.
ah, getting bogged under here; lol! It's a new way to look at human consciousness as it evolves however, without the inference, as we've been taught for eons, that heaven is "up" while hell is "down."
We are trying here to look at heaven and hell, for example, as merely state of consciousness, self created. Relative to the experiencer domain, and we attempt to do that by looking not up or down, but rather in a sideral way, and we will see consciousness as fluid in that sense and not stationary, for all energy is a thing in movement, as in vibrational, resonant to sound, for one example.

Mr. Cozzolino is a very good writer and gives many examples of the potential of human beings to be aware of invisible factors in our universe. The book has quite a scientific approach, yet we can understand throughout it's sequence he believes the human does continue on as an individual upon transition from the physical realm. I enjoy the book for it's approach into explaining the unexplainable and leading us away from the premise of the devoutly religious which proclaim we either ascend to heaven or we go to hell and no inbetween stops.
It is time for theologists and scientists alike to take a serious look at what and who a human being is as we step into the age of enlightenment.
