Actual Presence

[Shin'Ar]

When I first become aware of the One it was during an out of body experience. I was able to realize the millions of others all around me all doing exactly the same thing and we all knew that it was mutual praise of the All, and we all seemed to be traveling in one direction.

Since that day and for many years after I struggled with my individual identity knowing it to be something other than what I had always thought it to be. Through years of meditation I began to come to terms with our true identity, and when I came upon Sheldrake's writings, I found it helped me to establish a sounder means of comprehending that identity. I no longer think in terms of ghosts, spirits, specters and the like as most people do when they try to comprehend this force that resides within them. It is difficult for most to think of their 'spirit' without visualizing it as a ghostly mirror of their physical image. They think 'it is my ghost, so it must look like me'. This is how our brain works.

I knew this long before coming across Sheldrake but I still had some difficulty forming an image in my mind whenever I thought of my 'self'. I understood that my true idenity was NOT what my brain had trained me to think it was, and I knew that my true identity was somehow bound with each and every other person, but still I could not intelligently visualize what that meant.

Now, understanding that all things are vibrations and fields of energy, and that it is our consciousness as the continuing thought process of the Source, and understanding that our consciousness is a field that expands out around us and interacts with our environment, I am able to comprehend that my identity is that of a field of consciousness that not only surrounds my physical body, but also intersects and communicates with other fields, mating with them and becoming one with them. And the larger the field the more powerful and of course the field of the One Consciousness from which the All proceeds, is vast and encompasses everything, therefore mating with and sharing aith everything at all times.

Each of us is a fragment of that One Consciousness experiencing our environments the way that all fields of energy experience their environments. But we are more than just the energy of the One, we are also the continuing intelligence and thought process of the One. We are the One Consciousness.

So we have one large field, circle, and we have countless many fields, circles, expanding from it in every direction as its experience of what it creates before it. And where these circles mate together in contact with each other, we create that Sacred Space between them, the Sacred Eye. It is here where the two fields of consciousness mate that we find that Divine Connection that becomes known as the Astral Gate, the threshold between the worlds, and the place where all of the information and memory of each is field is shared. All of these being in connection with the larger original ones at all times, and then that interaction becoming less and less active as the existence expands. This divine connection is what the ancients taught us to seek after. This is what alchemy is all about. This is the true balance point of polarity. This is the Mandorle that has become known to many as the All Seeing Eye and to Christians as the fish symbol. The truth behind it rather than its perversion is the reason it so sacred. This is that portal or vortex that every ritual seeks to open, and that every consciousness seeks to connect with in meditation.

So as fields of consciousness we are always connected to our divine origin, and as we come to an awareness of this truth the understanding of it causes our fields to vibrate differently, just as fields of energy will react to each other as they become more intense reacting to stimuli.

This is the true identity of each and every one of us. Our true identity has absolutely nothing to do with the car that we drive or the vehicle we use to experience this density. What evolves is not our physical familiarity with this temporary form of flesh, but the field of consciousness that encompasses it. A field that is bound to the All in ways that connect everything together as One Consciousness experience.

Now if we can bear in mind that even thoug many scientists try to avoid esoterics and spirituality, we can still use their ability to experimentally amd technologically enhance these aspects of metaphysics that the Ancients have known for millenia.
