Chapter 7 - Where do we go ?
At the end of the day the world does not have to be perfect, just a better place than when this day started.
The question ‘where do we go?’ pre-supposes that there is a ‘here’ and ‘there’. There is no such thing in reality as here and there, since overall space is a dimension of God or the universe, the whole or the One, except in thought perception. Here and there are word distinctions to help make sense of the temporal world that we can see and ‘measure’. This thought exists to help manage our own energy by looking at the place where a temporary form or object exists through our senses of observation.
Despite this, the distinction within space can be used to help identify systems or environments that we can then look at to help understand the nature of each one along with its’ critical mass, remembering that they are all connected at many different levels and therefore only a part of the whole. The total sum of understanding can only be partial during temporal life.
As Human Beings, it might be useful to imagine four areas of space dimension: during temporal life (including material life as a Human Being), temporal death, during purely spiritual life (immateriality), and after purely spiritual life (including service by going back into a temporal rebirth). The four link back or incarnate in a cycle of growth. The common essence is spirit, which is continuous.
Spirit, the energy of Being, connects all four areas of space dimension. Within each Being is the soul or ‘seed’ that carries the innate learning through the core of its’ energy. At the highest level, the purely spiritual, this energy and learning, plus new and additional learning acquired during temporal life, is shared through conscious spirit within One mind.
This is analogous to individual neurons (souls) working together through synapses (connections) via electricity or chemicals (energy) within the brain (the universal mind) to create thinking and resulting creative possibilities for the whole or One, God’s will manifested.
This is not to suggest that God is made up of individual thoughts; it is the other way round, that the One ‘seeds’ by creating souls with free will choice to manifest possibility within firstly the spiritual world and then within the temporal.
The reason I am describing this in the order from temporal ‘up’ to spiritual is that this is probably easier to understand from the perspective of the temporal world, conceived as ascension to Heaven or eternal life. However, since the whole is One, it does not matter which way this is looked at as ‘direction’ is simply a concept to help understand movement and reforming within space. If a Being is at the ninth Gate of Light, it would be seen as nothing more than pure service to the One or God, a soul or type of neuron within and of the whole.
This leads us as to why we come here to the temporal world.
It is to learn and grow, to help develop, teach and share that learning from our experiences as Beings so that we can become more sustainable and therefore evolve spiritually, serving other Beings with that learning. An example might help explain how that process works.
One of the most difficult lives I can imagine is being a Gladiator in ancient Rome, where as a slave you must kill in a public arena in order to stay alive, merely for public entertainment. You might say, what could possibly be learnt from such an experience and be shared with others that could help them grow? The naive answer would be ‘the survival of the fittest’. The enlightened answer is: it is better to have an honourable death with people watching your life, than to have a dishonourable life without anyone noticing it. Even the most horrible situations have a lesson. Everything happens for a reason. Many people had to go through unimaginable pain to create that learning.
You could judge that it is wrong to kill, or to risk someone else’s life without any risk to your own. You would be morally correct. So which is worse, the Gladiator who believed in being the best they could be in order to stay alive, without any real choice as to how to live, only how to die, or those who sent them to their deaths? What about the animals that were also slaughtered? What about those who watched them die, and did not care how they suffered or died?
We can understand and accept that such a culture is morally incorrect and barbaric, yet some would still hunt, kill or make other sentient Beings suffer for entertainment or food, or go to war and create ongoing conflict, falsely in the name of religion or deceptively in the pursuit of personal benefit, power or control. We also know that there are those who would command risking the life of other Human Beings without risking their own lives and being prepared to suffer or die first as leaders by example. Controlling the lives of others to suffer is the very worst form of separation or sin. To deny free will through control or selfish interference is to deny the nature of creation in conscious Human Beings, and therefore the ultimate separation from the common good and the One.
Sometimes we can all be watchers; all it takes for the bad to prosper is for the good to do nothing. The lessons can be learnt at many levels.
Using free will choice, the solution to avoiding this in one-self is simple: Choose whether or not to have self-will control of the self, which is the essence of the divine, leading to the moral choice between good and bad actions. This essentially means that during our Being, at whichever level, we must either practice self-control or be impacted by governance from the Creator of free will and potentially lose consciousness. Everlasting life has a price.
What happens when we die a temporal death?
All material things consist of energy that is either conscious or unconscious of existence. Within a Human Being during temporal life it is mostly a critical mass of conscious energy, or consciousness, which also observes its’ own form as a Human Being, plus the current form of other objects. Borrowed energy that is connected to the universe can be called spirit energy. Spirit is the energy of action.
During the 20th Century, experiments were carried out on the bodies of Human Beings after they had died, when their brain activity had ceased. Their hands were placed on photo-sensitive plates to see how long after death the energy continued to be absorbed by the plate. The energy of those that had died peacefully did not last for more than few hours. Those who had died violently took much longer; their previously harnessed energy took longer to depart from the temporal body. If you are still skeptical, a psychic who can see the aura of energy around a Human Being can also tell the colours within that aura, which changes based on the feelings within. Those with black auras have dark thoughts or Being. Those with white, gold or purple elements are connected to a higher level. Red denotes some type of anger or extreme discomfort with a situation. Seeing red is literal. This can be proven with special aura cameras that are able to record this phenomenon.
This spirit energy also helps explain why those with a near death experience often report that they have seen a white light or white ‘tunnel’. This is simply a spiritual preview of the pure white energy that contains all light. Some of us call this home. The soul, the energy of Being, will be preserved to carry this consciousness forward if it is worthy of creation, in others words that creation is served.
What happens once the pure energy of the angelic realm is capable of being reached by the Being just released from a temporal life?
This depends on what has happened during temporal life - the life that has been lived, plus the karma of previous lives. The status of learning is attached to the soul in a quantum of energy.
For those souls that are worthy to return to life again, to continue the learning, the energy is held in space until the next time the Being returns to the temporal world. Some call this process reincarnation, another incarnation of the same free will Being that has been seeded. Some believe that we are given the choice as to which learning we want to take on, which learning we are prepared to accept next. Eventually all possible learnings must be manifested within all Beings, with non-separation from others being the most important lesson, as it underpins an understanding of all other lessons, that everything is connected and a part of the whole, or One.
When angels (the messengers) return, they return to Source, the learnings are consolidated and new intentions are created by the One. These are formulated into messages for other messengers, who can be born into a temporal form or communicate via spirit to guide individuals. Some call this individual guidance the conscience. New and additional messages are created based on a cumulative learning, to help, share and guide. Some messages come back into the temporal world through newly created Earth angels, those who have previously passed through the Gates of Light.
Those that have learnt all important lessons are given the choice as to whether to serve within the angelic realm or return as temporal Beings to serve other temporal Beings. Those that are able to teach are also given the choice to do so, for example Shakespeare and Plato. Teaching is one of the best ways of learning and refining.
Those Beings that would hurt other Beings are not so fortunate. Their consciousness is carried into ‘white noise’ until they are released again, into a world that progresses their journey back to the light. It is impossible to learn in white noise since the mirror is not sufficiently clear to be able to learn. It is much like being conscious, only with a highly fractured mirror all around limiting any reference back to one-self and what is known and can be learnt from connection with others. This is the isolated place of Being. Some call this purgatory, where unworthy souls are purged.
Energy that has been created cannot be destroyed by a God of love, even if a particular energy Being rebels through free will against the Creator. However, the energy can be dispersed, such that consciousness has no critical mass and is lost and the energy is re-used as part of the creative process. The ‘seed’ or the soul is effectively removed from universal consciousness, such that it can never cause harm again. This is analogous to removing cancerous cells from the body. The mutant cell, the energy Being that chose to separate through free will, may be redistributed to create benefit for others as a reflective mirror for others to learn from. This is the shadow cast by light to know the direction of the return to Source. Each time, through each and every learning, the shadow becomes a lighter shade of grey.
The mirror is, to some extent, within all of us, within all Human Beings. This so that we can learn from each other what works and is sustainable, and what can never work except in short term existence, by observing how we each want to be and live our lives. We are all a part of energy that takes different forms during life, in transition and after life.
In transition from the temporal to the spiritual world, the spirit departs the temporal body, releasing most of the spirit energy that has been borrowed. The innate learning is carried forward within the quantum energy of the soul to be shared and fully connected with other Beings and the whole. This is the point we can fully understand and know that we are part of the One, or God, that is no thing. You might ask why all Human Beings cannot have full access to this knowledge and energy within temporal life. The answer is three-fold.
Firstly, all Human Beings can have partial knowledge of the complete symphony and recognition of the divine while hearing music that moves the soul, in feeling and touching the joy of nature, in seeing new life being created, or in experiencing pure and self-less love. Now imagine if those who would abuse others had full knowledge and were able to use that full knowledge and the enabling energy to their own advantage, to administer more abuse within the temporal world. There have been many examples of people that would do so, because they have chosen to abuse and exploit their position even with that partial knowledge. They are the ones who take power and control over others for their own benefit, as opposed to empowering and supporting the free will choice of others and serving others without contradiction.
Secondly, if Human Beings had full knowledge, each Being would have to remember everything that had been experienced, including the pain of how each lesson had been learnt. Imagine if you were that Gladiator. You would have access to be able to recall and feel again, seeing your friends die and the manner and pain of your own previous suffering and death. It is a trade. In much knowledge there is much sorrow.
Thirdly, the Human brain is not large enough to hold all of this knowledge. It can only be accessed by connection with others, through spiritual energy and Being.
Can all space dimensions be connected from the here and now, within the temporal life, to see and serve the connected whole?
The answer is yes, provided the Being has previously passed through the eighth or ninth Gate of Light. The Gates of Light are described in Chapter 8.
All of this raises the question as to why or how we, Human Beings, plus other Beings in the universe, were created, where we come from and where we go to. This is difficult to answer, but an imaginary story might help. This story is not to be taken literally. Words are a primary tool to help conscious understanding (in addition to what we feel and know through instinct and observation), but they are limiting and largely definitive. This is because words are discriminatory and limited by definition, whereas the One is everything and infinite and therefore in truth without definition.
Initially, imagine nothing, or no thing. Imagine the first awareness, but it is singular, a singularity. Then think: If this was me, this initial singular awareness, could it be more ‘interesting’?
One could then decide to have a party, but only the One would be there. So One decides that to have a party, a part of One would manifest as something else, the same as One, but acting like a mirror, a mirror self. This is still One, but creation has now created two parts, a part of the whole, each a mirror reflection of the other. The cosmic analogy would be observation of the moment of the ‘Big Bang’, positive and negative energy, matter and anti-matter. The Human analogy would be cell division within the body. The two parts work with each other and for each other. If One destroys the other, then creation is back to square One, which in mathematics would be One!
To have a party would also need a room, a venue if you like, essentially space to accommodate One and grow with the emerging possibilities.
Now imagine that it would be better with more of the same One’s at the party, further sub-divisions but still a part of the whole or One. Each of the sub-divided parts of the created two-way mirror would have attributes that are in essence the same, but at the same time also diverse in order to create further ‘interest’ within and for the party hosted by the One. The chemical analogy would be creation of a simple but unstable element such as hydrogen, then helium which is more stable but inert, then lithium which is a metal and can create physical form, etc.
The ‘problem’ with this party is that all the elements are essentially the same energy reforming. Imagine being at this party where there was just One consciousness of this. The reforming would be like having non-learning robots at the party. It would be far more ‘interesting’ if the robots could help the diversity by becoming self-regulated Beings. The Human analogy would be to create twins. These twins have the same Source but different experiences and existence. The Source has free will, because it has created, and the same would therefore be created in its’ product. This then sub-divides further, until the party has all its’ participating guests, for now. The self-regulated Being is manifested, with an ‘interest’ in each other.
To do this, free will is created within each part. It is through free will that the choice to be diverse is progressed and expanded, essentially to create all possibility by Being of service to the whole. Everything is manifested and anything is possible with this free will choice, including unlimited growth.
Now imagine that these free will Beings do not recognize their Creator and host, and want to take over the party. The mere intention is separation from the original intention of creating, which must be love because it is for giving. The party becomes disruptive, things could be destroyed and some of the creation is in danger of being reversed. To stop this there are safeguards, loyal guardians to the Creator or host. They recognize to choose this otherwise everything would cease to exist except the One, and back to square One! We call these angels or messengers (from the Greek angelos). They protect the whole and all other created Beings, even from their potentially destructive selves. More importantly, the unworthy have also chosen to disconnect from their higher selves, and so do not have access to this knowledge except by personal learning within the temporal world and re-choosing.
The other safeguards to the party are the Gates of Light, the doors into the room, so that those Beings that wish to return who have previously been thrown out can do so. In addition, newcomers are welcome, provided that that they have passed all the required tests, which are based on the lesson and learning. All spirit energy can be recycled, shared and re-used for the common good. The learning is how to make the party sustainable and enable a permanent connection.
There is not a Being that has not separated or sinned, or tried to, even if only within a temporary thought, at some point. With separation, self-destruction becomes possible, consciously manifested so that we can learn from it. Consciousness can be ‘disappeared’ by removal of its’ critical mass if a Being created from that energy is or becomes destructive. Worse, collective separation can result in annihilation, for example destroying our ability to survive on a living planet.
You might ask how an omnipotent universe can allow this separation. Firstly, it is a consequence of free will choice. Secondly, we separate in order to understand and learn from the process of reunification. The top-down model now becomes bottom-up, and is self-sustaining provided that the separation is temporary. The polarity has become a duality.
The story is not complete. The story will never be complete because it is infinite and eternal. If the party ends, the One will create a new party, another universe, perhaps another ‘Big Bang’. There can be many parties at the same time.
I hope that this story helps understanding of where do we go. The question ‘where do we go?’ is now the same as ‘where do we come from?’ The main question is ‘how are we able to get back?’
