"Stepping Stones to Expanded Consciousness"
DJ: Well......what is the primary contingency to be able to choose what explorations we make within the Multiverse? Is it not the ability to depart from a certain dimension and be re-integrated into another one.......assuming an alternative definition of "self" that is there? In order to do that, we need to reach the state of NEUTRALITY that ONENESS offers, so we can extricate ourselves
from the self that is in operation HERE, and move to an alternative self which is THERE. In so doing.......we become ALL OF IT.......even as we direct our experiencing self (fragment) to become SOME OF IT, in another context of reality.
To be able to choose.......we must realize that we are CREATOR, and we have power....that, in essence, it's all SELF. Are we ready to do that, in regard to these topics we've been discussing? Can we imagine ourselves to be BOTH the victim and also the perpetrator?
The Guides tell us that many things that are generally considered to be "abuse" or "trauma" can also carry with it some hidden gifts that are not always visible at the time.
One of the "gifts" that is imparted, during a traumatic attack, may be the NEUTRALIZATION OF EMOTION that happens under extreme duress. Most rape victims, for example.........especially kids.......tend to automatically DISSOCIATE THEIR CONSCIOUS during the event......so they can minimize pain, and hang on until the
bad stuff is over. That, in itself, could be the whole reason he or she contracted the "hit" in the first place.
It's a bit like surgery. As the scalpel penetrates, the patient LETS GO OF CONSCIOUSNESS until the surgery is done. By so doing, the participants CREATES A PORTAL in him or herself, through which Multiversal Exchanges can later be made: Astral Travel, Psychic Knowingness, Channeling, whatever. It may take the person awhile to learn how to use this new Portal, however. And the scar(e) tissue which is developed may be needed to help shut down psychic sensings until they need to be awakened.
In the beginning, the portal is simply an ESCAPE MECHANISM, when things get harsh. But later on, with proper training and full remembrance, that very same portal becomes a GATEWAY, into expanded consciousness and special abilities.
This is merely another piece of the puzzle.......to realize that traumatizing the body (on one level) can produce a BREAKTHROUGH of the Soul on another level. Haven't yogis and ascetics been doing that for centuries? Don't they sleep on beds of nails, go without food, or poke themselves with needles.........all for the purpose of learning how to DETACH from the PAIN........and embrace
the neutrality of the ALL?<snip>
