1-HOW
DO WE EVOLVE?
2-CONCEPT OF PULSATION!
One of my earliest writings,
which arose to my deeper questioning. It
is very long as its almost a self dialogue being translated into words. All
these early writings arose from within to my inner questioning and became the base from where my other writings
grew. They are not reader friendly, but I am sharing them here, for some who
may enjoy dipping into these inner dialogues which over time led to my deeper
understanding and more reader friendly writing. I do hope to edit them a little
, keeping the original flavor yet using terms which I would use now!
IDENTITY - INDIVIDUATION - Understood
through the concept of “UNITS OF CONSCIOUSNESS”- a Seth term which vastly
helped me understand complex aspects of the journey!
How do ‘we’ evolve? How does God become us and
we become God?? These are questions that hit us once we are truly seeking
knowledge of this wondrous phenomenon.
Maybe we can begin at that point of focus, at which the un-manifested Divine,
in order to experience every nuance of Itself ‘becomes’ for our clearer
understanding: “units of Consciousness”. These ‘units’ ‘come’ into being by the
Divine, for the Divine, and as the (uniquely different) Divine ways of
experiencing and being all that It is!
This is an important concept for us to understand, so let’s try and go beyond
the words. We use linear sequential events - and speak of the One as different
aspects- for the sake of explanation only- for in the larger picture there is
no linear time and oneness cannot be separated but only viewed from different
angles. Thus while these units for us implies a self-division within
All-That-Is, or God becoming ‘portions’ or ‘parts’ of Itself, this distribution
of Itself into many bits is for our understanding only and there is no
separation as such.
For an enhanced comprehension lets explore the term: ‘unit’ which means that,
which is individual and complete but also forms a component of the larger or
more complex whole. Inherently this implies a certain segregation or
distinction from ‘another’ such unit, but which together form the whole!
In the topic under consideration, units of ‘Godstuff’ (qualities, aspects,
potentials, energies that make up what we call God) imply such whole and yet
individual portions of Itself! These ‘units-of-consciousness’ are the ways in
which God experiences all possible variations of Itself! Each holds within it
the propensity for the creation of matter in all its forms, the impetus to
create all possible universes, for God to be all that It is or can possibly Be!
Conjure if you like your blank computer screen
which has the potential for the infinite images of the world wide web to show
up on it; now imagine every individual pixel on the screen through which we are
able to view this as our units of consciousness…
Consciousness simply put of course, means a state
of being aware of (and thus) responsive to one’s surroundings (other such
units); a state of perception and knowing! This implies that these ‘units
of consciousness’ (we shall call them uc’s henceforth) -individual and complete
‘units’ of Godstuff, together comprising the larger whole Godself- are now in a
state where they are consciously aware of themselves: of ‘That they Are’ and
those around them!!!
To understand this wholly, it must be grasped
that till ‘this point’, ‘Godstuff’ as void ‘was/is’ a blissful state of
Beingness… That It Is …Isness… without the ‘conscious awareness’ of All That It
is! - which is what turns ‘beingness’ into ‘experiencing or knowing itself’.
Again a word of caution: Logical, step-by step
thoughts are part of our neurological understanding and indeed woven into our
language; but the larger picture escapes such definitions, defies
categorizing, and indeed all attempts to wrap it up in neat packages and thus
words and concepts limits your deeper comprehension! Thus use these
words, terms, notions as a reference point at the best, beyond which a
subjective feel is what will aid true comprehension!
Experience is a state where the ‘experience’ is
aware of itself and its beingness! These units of consciousness (as the first
‘points’ at which Godself becomes aware of All That It Is) are the means by
which Godself enables every aspect of Itself to be aware of and be….experience…
That it is. Through each of Its units therefore, does Godself, experience and
know every aspect of Itself! Uc’s can thus be viewed as unique points of focus
within our larger Godself through which every quality, aspect, nuance,
potential –Godstuff- God- can Know and experience Itself! Each ‘unit of
consciousnesses may further be viewed as individuations within God, rather than
separations. Somewhat like divya being a mother and sister and daughter and
writer and ceramist and a student of tarot and so forth! There is no splitting
up as such, yet each aspect exists or is experienced as a unique portion of
myself.
In recapitulation let’s use the best analogy
possible: ourselves! Lets each think of our self to understand how indeed a
unit-of- consciousness even in its perceived individuation of Itself, remains
wholly THE Divine. Divya is all her experiences; the ceramist, writer, mother,
wife etc are separate experiences but not separate from divya or separate
divya’s running helter smelter! Moreover, the writer, mother, ceramist etc share
in (and contribute to) the larger experience of the whole divya! Again in
self-analogy view how each unit-of- consciousness is merely an inimitable
unique focus through which God is experiencing or being Itself in infinite
ways.
Divya experiences herself through her many roles,
experiences, hobbies etc. all that she is! It is how Divya can experience all
the potential and different aspects within herself. The old spiritual adage ‘as
above, so below’ becomes clearer and clearer as we see it at every step…
Another analogy which reflects this in day to day
life: every individuation does not imply ‘separation’ from its larger
precursor: consider how we are for example an Indian, Bombayite, worli
resident, west more inhabitant, Kumar family member… simultaneously!!
However our language has no word to describe
something, which whilst remaining the whole has its individuality, too. So for
further comprehension we will continue to refer to these different focuses and
vehicles of experience within All-That-Is as ‘units of consciousnesses but
don’t let the word unit distract you into viewing it as separate! The
other closest term I could think of is: clones! Maybe we can imagine these
units-of-consciousness as innumerable individual All-That-Is’s! Thus remember
that a direct cognition is involved in which each unit of consciousness knows
what the other is ‘doing’, its position and the implications of its experience,
as ‘they’ are all one … please try and get a subjective feel of what we are
trying to understand through logical thought processes before taking the
quantum leap from God to our current self!
Units of consciousness are thus the well known- I
AM- awareness (I) experience/beingness (AM) that is within the God state!
AND THE TERM UC’S ONLY IMPLIES THAT ‘I AM’ IS A ‘MULTITUDE’ OF FOCUSES… within
Godself, which come into being by Our Divine choice, so that ‘I/God’ as a Whole
may experience through My different points of focus All That I AM! All the
variations, nuances, potentials, ways that I can be!
If you have truly grasped this you will
appreciate that while these units imply in our terms a ‘self-division’ within
All-That-Is; or Our Godself becoming ‘portions’ or ‘parts’ of Itself, this
distribution of our Godself into many bits is for our understanding only and
there is no separation as such…they are only myriad points of focus within the
Whole…So while each point of focus is individual in its focus, it remains ever
the Whole!
To go beyond words…play about with different
words so that this understanding fits within you! Each ‘unit of
consciousnesses, may be viewed as individuations within Our Godself,
rather than separations. ‘Experience’ is a key word, and each
unit-of-consciousness maybe further understood as the myriad vehicles of Our
Godself for Our myriad experiences. We have already played about with the word
‘focus’ in connection with this concept: the infinite focuses within Our
Godself to experience all that I AM- every nuance, quality, potential,
possibility!!
So while each of My uc’s has it unique function
it is essential to keep in mind that as we are all only units of one larger
self, every uc enjoys, experiences, knows what every ‘other’ uc does as we are
actually one- and it is through this split in focus or function, that my Whole
Godself can experience every aspect of that it is! Just like a team assigns
different functions to each member but the team as a whole benefits!
Having done so we can now make that all important
link: from Godself and Its Units of Consciousness to our human selves!! From
our point of view, we can each view one of these UC’s then as our source
selves! Often referred to as the Monad. We as humans have our ‘beginning’, as
we view an individual identity, here in this unit of consciousness. (As does
every other being/form/existence.) In our terms, ’beyond’ the Monad, there is
no separate identity…we are only Godstuff and/or Godself.
Each ‘Uc’, in order to be consciously aware of
and experience every potential, aspect, quality of That portion of Godself that
it has chosen to, further creates a multitude of ‘forms -existences
-experiences’ in order to do so: and our current lives/selves are one of
those ‘forms’ that ‘our’ ‘unit-of consciousness’ has created in experiencing
its totality! Thus all the ‘other’ forms, of ‘our’ Uc towards this conscious
awareness of Itself, are our other ‘selves’- usually referred to as past,
future and higher selves!
From the ‘UC’S point of view all its ensuing
forms/existences are only unique inimitable experiences, of God by God …and in
that sense all beings, forms, existences (and thus we) are Gods experiences but
somewhere along the line we the expereincer, ‘identify’ with the experience as
being our ‘self’… as ‘me’! This ‘self-identification’ starts with ‘us’ as
a UC (but this being our largest and thinnest identification) and
continues through all Its experiences, individuating into a perceived ‘self’ at
every point… (and narrower and stronger self identification) upto…. the current
me!
Whilst ‘individuation/identity’ ‘starts’ at the
point of Uc’s – it is the least differentiated here- as there is a clear
awareness at this point that I am (only that special yet) one more focus of my
Godself so that as Godself I may be all that I am through all My different
focuses/uc’s! This self identification strengthens as the uc further
individuates into a perceived ‘self’ at every point- from monadic where
it experiences its Whole self and knows it is one more focus- to higher-selves
where its oneness with Godself is known but not felt - to current selves
where we loose sight of all of this!
Part2 –FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF
:All-That-Is AND ITS UC’s
It is in this desire or Will of All-That-is to ‘experience’ Its infinite
potentiality of all that it is, that ‘units of consciousness’ have their reason
to Be! The role of each unit-of- consciousness thus is to experience a unique,
inviolate, distinctive aspect of All-That–Is/God…. allowing All-that-is/God
indeed a way to experience and BE ALL (its potential)
This leads to each UC through its particular,
distinctive and inimitable focus, further creating numerous forms to fulfill
its vast ranging potentiality as it cannot experience all that it can ‘Be’
through the limitation of one form! Stretch this understanding now to all
the UC’s collectively, and we see that together they create all that we see as
‘existence’! Innumerable forms created by innumerable uc’s so that All-That-Is
can experience/Be Itself in every which way!!!
At what may seem a tall order at this stage, with
inestimable uc’s experiencing endless potentiality, there is however a
‘spontaneous order’. This natural ‘organization/structure/pattern’ is indeed
inherent in All-That-is, creating our universe from what may in our eyes appear
as chaos…for each UC is bestowed with the Divine Intelligence of which it is
but a focus! A workable analogy is to view a house, as All That Is/god…and
every window and door looking out and into… as a UC or focus or
individuation….none being separate from the house…only different views…!
These Uc’s thus have an inbuilt tendency to
‘group’ into the different ‘qualities/essences’ intrinsic in All-That-Is.
Organized thus, they then each go about experiencing the infinite aspects of
those qualities!! This way all qualities/essences within All-That-Is are
covered!! And yet each is experienced by a multitude of UC’S in multitude ways
and angles so that each nuance is wholly experienced!! Plus they interact with
every other ‘group’ and that actualizes even more of the potential inherent in
All That Is! This way … through ‘becoming’ Its on UC’S… all qualities,
all combinations, all potentials within All-That-Is are covered!! (Let’s not
forget, that like the individual uc’s, each ‘group’ of uc’s too, while
having its group’s uniqueness is yet the Whole.)
We can consider these ‘groupings’ of different
qualities and essences as the different strains/patterns/rays within All-
That-Is. It is these pure inherent qualities within Godself (that we often name
and identify as our mythological Goddesses and Gods) that then create and
manifest into infinite ‘forms’ in order to experience each such quality to its
full potential so that every nuance, possibility of it is indeed consciously
realized… ‘actualized’… experienced…expanded……!
Add wings to your intellect and free it from its
usual limitations and think then of the innumerable
strains/qualities/patterns/groups/ rays….so many words could be used here…
within All-That-Is: Will, Power, Love, Intelligence, Wisdom, Beauty,
Devotion, Abundance, Oneness in diversity etc etc etc …all that we consider
‘God’s qualities’… thus innumerable others with innumerable variations and
gradations and more so when they combine- so view those celestial ‘marriages’
and consorts we hear about through this lens! No wonder each God and goddess
had so many consorts- they are the different combinations and blends and the
offspring the new that arises of these!
Part 3 THE HUMAN ANGLE!
Now we take a jump to the other extreme: to the
point at which every journey of Self must start. To THIS point and moment in
“time”, where WE ARE EACH so specifically poised NOW.
We have now understood that we as current self
are each a portion/form/experience of one of those uc’s!! And as UC’S are
different focuses of God…can’t be separated… It thus follows easily enough then
that ‘we’ are not separated from God but remain always connected/part of. Its
like the window is observing and experiencing the tree on a distant mountain
top…yet it remains firmly in the house!
At the same time we each spontaneously ‘belong’
to a ‘strain’ (a grouping of qualities) within the WHOLE/Godself that I Am,
which we willfully choose to be…experience… in its entirety and this contribute
to its conscious awareness. To do so we further individuate into various
forms/experiences. (Souls, current selves, past present future selves, mineral,
plant, animals the works plus o other realms and dimensions other than human
and earth!! But here I will stick to the human point of view) Of course now we
know that at source as all individuations are but different focuses of One
Whole- every experience, of every individuation is the experience of all. So we
are not limited or restricted to only experience or become aware of ‘that
focus, that quality, which we have chosen to contribute towards or be’!!! We
are indeed eating our cake and having it too. ( so in analogy as that window I
face the north east side of all that is!! and other windows face other
directions (qualities) yet as the house I experience all!!)
Or again view the above mentioned analogy where I
am a Kummar family member, I am simultaneously a Worli resident, and a
‘bombayite’ and an Indian and a world citizen and…human…and…energy and
consciousness and…..
Or….God and Its uc’s are analogous to a large
group going on a field trip, further grouping into more and more
specialized sections, to get back a fuller awareness of the field of
exploration through the contribution of each and then enjoying the combined
‘effort’. Consider a biology class, exploring a forest: the children
spontaneously becoming groups offering to bring back different aspects of the
forest! One group likes the flora, the other is more interested in the animals,
the third explores pollution effects and yet another in what sustains the life
therein! Each child contributes its individual facet, yet each child see the
forest through they eyes of all…and in this way the class as a whole gets a
magnified experience of its forest.
So back to our larger expedition of life! We may
all discover that while having many desires, aims and hopes some of them remain
the strongest. Some aspects attract us or are us persistently! This is usually
that strain/energy we spontaneously belong to and which we choose to experience
in all its facets ‘for’ God/the whole that we are and thus take appropriate forms
after forms to do so! In our current life it maybe latent or perhaps merely
unobserved as yet, because we are so deep into that above expedition that we
sometimes forget what our particular role in it was. Which is fine too. We can
experience as many side trips as we like, the various delights this expedition
has to offer. The child intrinsically interested in the flora in our above
analogy can and does take an interest in the animals or pollution aspects too.
He can enjoy all aspects of the expedition!
However a time will come when we will want to
know our purpose and feel a ‘calling’ towards activities and experiences that
vibrate with our core energy! Please go beyond the limitations of the words, as
it does not mean we only have one overriding skill or interest in life or
through our many lives!! But more that we will have many many skills and
interests as ways to experience the infinite facets of those larger unlimited
qualities/energies which we are a part of/chosen to explore for the whole. Also
keep in mind: All-That-Is means being all qualities so we are actually
experiencing all through our different focuses/selves!
Also, having understood that we have come to
experience every nuance of ‘that’, which is so deeply an inherent part of our
self (our essence so to say) we must also keep in mind that as part of this
planet and then universe we have larger joint purposes too! It is within these
larger group purposes, that each strain and all Its individuations of self have
their own (purpose). How wondrous it is. How Divinely planned! Purposes within
purposes …the ‘smaller’ purposes simultaneously being supported and supporting
the larger…! The smaller evolving within the larger…the larger evolving through
the smaller….!We will for simplicity however, deal with the evolving of self in
this article.
We are now aware, that in the larger
picture individuality begins with the unit-of-consciousness and becomes anew at
every point thereafter. The current self we each identify with is then one of
the many experiences or forms that ‘our’ uc has chosen to create to experience
all potentiality/facets of its intrinsic strain/energy! For example, my current
self then is one of the experiences ‘my’ uc has chosen! Divya is what It has
created to experience a certain facet of Its larger intrinsic essence! This
essence is deeply inherent in the ‘me’ and the experience of its myriad facets
is indeed my ‘purpose’ to BE. As we said above, once we are able to discover or
feel this or just live in tune with it even without conscious awareness, the
journey becomes more joyous and natural. As it is so much intrinsically a part
of us there is little effort required (once we become ‘aware’ of this purpose)
to spontaneously live it! Obstacles may come and go but as humans we have the
free will to make the expedition what we want. That is part of the experience
my uc in my form of ‘divya’ has chosen! We have to only practice how to use
this free will to its optimal.
PART
4-THE PROCESS OF EVOLVING
What is happening as we evolve? Lets swing back to All-That-Is/God/Whole
for a moment, the ‘Source’ of these uc’s, and thereby the source of its
individuations that we each are! We have now seen that each ‘stage’ from source
to me is not a ‘separation’ but more a stream of experiences, a stream of
consciousness ‘spreading out’ so to say as an incessant stream of further
individuation.
Each individuation is eternal. We know that any
thought or matter once created, always IS. I experience being only ‘me’ because
I am disconnected so to say temporarily from my awareness that I am a unit of
consciousness and all its other experiences and I think this particular
experience of my current life as ‘myself’!! In this life then I am poised
in this particular focus …In others, what we refer to as past and future lives,
my focus is poised in those .And yet in this life too I further individuate at
every point through every experience, diva the ceramist, the tarot reader, the
mother, the lover…!
So what IS happening as I evolve? It is indeed
difficult to grasp how I evolve whereas all individualities of mine also remain
forever. Lets remember that the uc’s are ‘god stuff’ the very essence of All
That Is! Being Divine/God they have the divinely omniscient and omnipotent
quality of being everywhere at one time and retaining pure awareness through
every form they take!
Lets understand this step by step: 1) The whole
into UC’s which then individuate into various forms in order to experience all
they can of themselves.2) Each form begins to identify with its form or
experience as ‘myself’ 3) However at some point( well into the
expedition!) the forms begin to realize that they are indeed not only
that particular form and the focus begins to expand back to encompass the
larger and larger self or experience of which current is but an offshoot… till
we increasingly identify/become one with our other larger
experiences/forms/selves as ‘Self’ till we expand ‘back’ to our original
‘whole’ focus: as a unit of consciousness connected to all other units of
consciousness and part of All-That-Is! This is part of the reason we
individuate in the first place; so that we can amalgamate our unique
experiences back into being a larger expanded fulfilled All-That-Is!! So all
that is can paradoxically be more! So perfection can ever me anew!
Now the final quantum leap! That analogous ‘filmy
substance’…the grid… that keeps each uc’s individual storehouse of experiences
‘separate’ and ‘distinct’ , dissolves, and thereby becomes pure consciousness
again.
It becomes the Whole, instead of one unit of Its
perception. At this stage ‘we’ are one with all.
This can be viewed in both ways: no ‘separate’
identity of self remains or is important, as we are literally all and everyone
and everything! Or one can view it as all ‘My’ identities, all ‘my’
individuations, and all my experiences eternally Being! We then behold each
‘person’, each aspect that exists, as my myriad aspects and delighting in it.
This is not a cosmic soup… where individuality is melted but a finely honed
appreciation of each ‘individuation’ within Self! (* note 1)
PART
5/CONCLUSION IN THE NOW!
Our higher selves are already ‘there’, as everything happens in the
NOW! ‘Evolving’ as we have seen is merely a shift in an ever-expanding
perception/focus!!! Till our conscious focus is so expanded that it can indeed
simultaneously focus on, hence experience, larger and larger parts of reality
that is inherent for us unconsciously! Naturally, with the more expanded focus
of these higher selves, ‘they’ can experience themselves and their earlier
selves, whereby with our limited focus we cannot perceive ‘them’!! Evolution in
human terms therefore is the expansion of my conscious focus so that I can
indeed simultaneously focus on, and hence experience each and every aspect of
my being. From Source to ME and back to Source! Once this is consciously
experienced we are ready to move onto other forms where the experience will be
new again, and all we have imbibed from our physical forms becomes forever an
unconscious knowledge thereon!
Conjure this image of a stream bubbling UC’S from
this beautiful mountain peak to the evergreen valley, making its side pools
along the way. Imagine this entire river is you. Your focus now maybe in the
Uc’s within the valley portion, and you cannot thus focus on its entirety.
You have chosen to experience it thus, so that when you re-experience
being the whole river, you would have experienced in totality all its nooks and
crevices, ponds and pools, the flora and fauna. However you never stopped being
the whole river….you only chose to focus on each aspect one at a time towards
this larger experience as the river! Infact the journey or process
(and this word is used only in explanation) or should I say ‘happening’ is two
ways, all ways… Back and forward …side wards! The Uc’s are simultaneously
flowing from peak to valley and into side pools and swimming back too!! When
‘your’ focus is in those swimming back to source you are evolving. When ‘your’
focus is in those flowing ‘downwards’ you are experiencing creation. Both are
aspects of our DIVINE SELF.
Analogies to aid understanding:
We are all aware of the (explanatory) divisions
of self into monad, soul, current self/body .Now we may see this picture
somewhat clearer: and understand the monad is that source/portion of ‘me’ which
is the UC! In the larger sense there are no ‘separate/individual monads (or
souls and selves) floating around!! As all uc’s are one and it is only
different focuses!! Any individuality is only a distinctiveness of perception
or experience! However just as each uc and its further individuation as soul is
a distinct ‘storehouse’ of its uniquely inimitable experiences, we may consider
this perceived individuation in the more traditional manner of being ‘my soul’!!!
-Maybe we can conjure for analogy: All –That-Is
as this mass of multicolored light. Each color is made up of its different
colored light particles, with each such particle probing/experiencing/being in
its unique distinctive manner its particular color. In doing so each particle
of light stores its experiences within it! In analogy, one pink particle has a
pink filmy substance around it, which contains all its pink experiences!
Another pink particle has another set of pink experiences it stores, and each
blue and lilac and so forth all store their own experiences!! Those would be
our individual monads and souls then… but if we have really comprehended the
above they are more accurately the different experiences of All That IS!
This entire ‘process’ of evolution through which
God’s expansion and fulfillment of Its own perfection …is God Being Itself! And
is the reason for creation to Be. Imagine, as a simple analogy only, this
chocolate cake mixture baking itself into this delicious cake. The cake and the
cake mix are one; yet, it is in its being baked into this scrumptious cake that
each particle of the cake mix is now experiencing itself in its totality!
Nothing new is added or changed; yet still, each drop of milk or particle of
flour and sugar has experienced it’s ‘being’ in a magnified and unified way of
becoming the rich texture and delicious flavor of the cake! We can
consider the heat of the oven as the ‘desire’ or force within the un-manifest
for this experience of Itself.Each particle of flour and sugar and milk and
cocoa can be viewed as the uc’s…. and they combine in the making of cake into
the ‘strains’ we saw above: the flour will give the cake its experience of say
structure and the sugar its sweetness and the milk its softness etc. If for analogy
sake I am inherently part of the sugar (sure my hubby will disagree;-)), then
in each slice of the cake, analogous to each individual form I take, I will
have chosen to experience the full potential of my ‘sugariness’/sweetness, and
its combined experience of being the larger cake!! Cakes of course, however
delicious, are an analogy with a limited if delightful purpose and the idea
here is to bring all these concepts into our day-to day living to better
comprehend their finer nuances!
2-CONCEPT OF PULSATION: a further aid
to understanding of how God and evolution really work!!
Understanding how simultaneous time and
multidimensional realities actually operate may take us a lifetime. Seth
further elaborates with a concept of ‘pulsation’, in helping us to grasp this
better. This ‘pulsation’, a blinking ‘on and off’ for want of better words, is
a continuous happening in our universe. We are so focused in our current
reality however, on the ‘on’ so to say… that we are not even aware of this off
and on beingness, being a part of our existence.
Simply put, the entire universe operates through
a process of pulsation. It blinks on and off in split ‘moments’…nano
moments…kshans in hindi… so brief and rapid that we do not perceive them. When
we blink ‘on’, so to say, we experience our current reality, and in those ‘off’
pulses we are in fact not in ‘this’ reality but our focus has shifted to other
realities that we exist in simultaneously…from past and future selves, to soul
and monad and the whole… where the blink has come ‘on’!!
This is an inherent quality of consciousness, our
tool as The Whole, to experience Self! So we are actually ‘riding’ these ‘rapid
and split moments’ and are conscious of (or focusing on) our current realities
through these pulsations! Any individuation…from universe to current
self… is aware of itself/or exists, only during these ‘on’ pulses (in its
‘sphere’ of current focus.) “We” then, do not exist in those moments when the
pulsation is in its nano ‘off’ mode!!!! In those moments we are experiencing
/or conscious of/or focused in, the other realities, where this pulse has come
on! We are our ‘other’ selves then…
Expand this now to include all realities,
dimensions…Visualize this pulsation blinking on and off in the various
realities in which Godself/the whole exists! The larger the focus…or what we
will call our larger selves…are more aware of this pulsation and shifting of
focus and it is through this that the larger entities experience simultaneously
all their existences, and realities.
It is only due to the honed and complete focus we
have chosen in any one particular existence during the pulse being ‘on’ that
this pulsation remains unobserved. However while we are not consciously aware….
below the surface, the unconscious mind is aware and indeed ‘living’/
‘recording’ its experiences in all its realities. If one is careful and
observant, one can learn to perceive a glimmer of these pulsations consciously!
(It comes to mind that perhaps this is that ‘gap’ between our ‘breaths’ that
Indian scriptures refer to! The doorway into all that I am)
Now we take that quantum leap from self and our
many existences, to GOD or Divine Existence. We are all aware by now that God
or this Supreme Divine power is both un- manifest and manifest and that the
un-manifest, manifests itself for experience of its all potential, every
nuance. And this is made possible through this process of pulsation! It is not
in stages or steps that the un-manifest becomes manifest and experiences its
different ‘era’s …and experiences… It is simultaneously so. As the Un-Manifest,
it is through these pulsations that it experiences its many creations
simultaneously, but remaining always It self, un-manifest: the pure base, the
Source, the witness. This is how God is the experience and the
‘experiencer!’ Safe at home yet having an adventure! Having his cake and
eating it too!

NOTES: In analogy we can try and conjure a
computer screen, set as our screen saver, on one flat color, say blue. Now
imagine in it many many tiny little pixels in different colors, all
twinkling/pulsing in a differing frequency/sequence/pattern. We, as we see
ourselves now are one of these. As I twinkle “on” in this screensaver, I exist
here in this reality. As it appears to go ‘off’ for that split moment, imagine
it going “ on” in another’s screen saver!! I don’t exist here for that split
second, but do so on that other computer/reality! I have only changed my
focus!! It is however so brief and rapid a moment that we do not even realize
this! Similarly the whole blue screen (un-manifest always) is simultaneously
experiencing itself through it millions of pixels, all their different focuses,
and realties!! Only God could have thought of this wondrous idea!! Only we can
help God to put into being!!
-This also suggests to us that more than time
being simultaneous, SPACE as we think of it in terms of distances is a concept
we need to reconsider too. There is no space in that sense, no distances the
soul needs to cross or move about in, to experience itself in its different
realities. Actually all dimensions are right here where WE are, but at
different ‘levels’ of focus and hence we see only our current dimension in
which we are so focused. Imagine these cross sections right there in your
living room!! Where the entire universe exists, and all we need to do is take
the right inner camera to zoom into each different ‘space’. The only transport
we need in this non-space is inetent! This too is somewhat further explained by
the concept of pulsation: the larger entities experiencing all their realities
through this shift of focus without zooming around place to place at reckless
speeds!! In ‘real’ there is no moving, no speed! An analogy, which may help us,
is one of those simulated ‘rides’ at Disney world!! We sit in our chairs and
through lights, sounds etc we shift our focus into actually experiencing
dimensions different from where
-We also now get a clearer understanding, of how
the continuous evolution of selves and universes takes place. In our last article
we considered this concept: of evolution as an ongoing ‘process’ with each of
us being simultaneously at the start, middle, and end of its cycle. As such
there is no beginning or end, as it depends from which point we view the
‘cycle’ of our evolving.
-From Source: God is on Its ‘journey’ (creation) of experience, by becoming
Selves, which create further and further selves, say, up to this point that we
are now. This is one view of the cycle of creation.
-The other is FROM this point of us as we are now back to God and source!
-Then there are several midway points at which each self IS.
- The simultaneous nature of these maybe better grasped with the concepts of
‘focus’ in the previous article and ‘pulsation’ in the above.
