Expanding Your Definition of the Present Moment
When accessing fifth-dimensional consciousness, you may find it necessary to
expand your definition of the present moment. You have probably heard it said
that the key to developing awareness is to "be here now." Being present and
awake within each moment is undeniably a major component of spiritual awareness.
We ask you now to take a step further to examine the scope of your "present
moment." Who are you within this moment? Are you limited to what you see in
front of you, or do you hold within your consciousness a vast repertoire of
possibilities you can activate at any second? Do you hold within you maps of
consciousness that point to infinite locations and states you can access at
will? Do you feel your past (in this life and others) is inaccessible or do you
feel connected to these past aspects and even assisted and supported by them?
Are you able to travel through the doorway of your imagination to visit your
future and learn what you are creating in order to fine-tune your present
moment?
Does your present moment contain a doorway to an inner temple where you
regularly commune with angels, guides and other aspects of your being, or does
your present moment contain a barren, one-room shanty where you feel lonely and
cut off from the rest of the universe and worse, from parts of yourself?
The perception that your present moment is compartmentalized and shut off from
both past and future limits your ability to access other aspects of your
consciousness. These aspects represent parts of you incarnated through time
that can help you heal the past, design future realities, and access a wide
range of latent skills and abilities.
Each Moment Contains Infinite Possibilities
We have undertaken this discussion to bring focus to the infinite possibilities
that exist within each moment. It's not enough to simply say, "Be here now."
If a person's belief system isn't sufficiently expanded, they will likely find
the present moment to be rather dull and uninteresting. When faced with
residing solely within a lackluster "present moment," many people create outer
diversions, become thrill seekers and even develop addictions. Depending on a
person's early programming and beliefs, they may extend this perception of
emptiness to themselves, finding themselves lacking. Many thrill seekers at the
root feel themselves empty without a dust storm of activity swirling around
them. They keep others at a distance, fearing they would perceive their
emptiness if they got too close. This doesn't have to be the case. Expanding
your definition of the present moment can open a dazzling array of possibilities
that will never leave you feeling bored, lacking, or empty.
Steps to Expanding Your Present Moment
A first step to expanding your definition of the present moment is to examine
your present beliefs about who you are. If you believe you're a vast,
multidimensional being of infinite capabilities, you're well on your way to
expanding your present moment. If, however, you believe your present physical
reality is all you have and that you are limited to the information you've
programmed into your personal CPU, your definition of the present moment could
use some stretching.
When you view the world through the eyes of spirit, it's easy to see how each
person is spirit incarnate. Spirit, with its infinite nature, has the ability
to be all places at all times. The word "omniscient" is often used to describe
this unlimited potential. Some of you might say, "But this is the word we use
to describe God." Now we are finally getting to the root of things. Do you see
God as separate from yourself or as a part of yourself? We offer this
holographic definition: you are to God as a drop of water is to the ocean. A
drop of water has the same properties as the ocean. It is holographically the
same as the ocean, just as you're holographically the same as God and with the
same properties and potentials. This is a second step in expanding your present
moment – to see God, all-that-is - whatever word you choose to describe the
infinite – as a part of you.
You are an Omnipresent Spark of Spirit
You as an omnipresent spark of spirit have likely been incarnated hundreds and
even thousands of times. We say "likely" because some entities in this universe
incarnate only on a few occasions and for specific purposes. Younger souls have
by definition experienced fewer incarnations than older souls. (The fact that
you're reading this says you're an older soul).
You have been incarnated in numerous timeframes throughout history, both past
and future. You may find it a stretch to contemplate the possibility that your
spirit has incarnated into future timeframes. You might wonder why a being who
has experienced life in 2100 would choose to stage their next incarnation in
1950. There are reasons why an advanced soul chooses to incarnate into a "past"
timeframe. We will speak more about this in the next segment of this series
titled "Beings from the Future." For now, we will simply say that you have been
incarnated in the past and that you likely have been or will be incarnated in
future times on planet Earth or elsewhere.
You are Simultaneously Incarnated throughout Time
There is no "time" in the expanded concept of the universe. All your
incarnations are occurring simultaneously in various realities. If you had a
lifetime in Egypt in 550 AD, that "you" is still alive and well in its own
energetic coordinate in the universe. Likewise, if a future "you" is incarnated
in the year 2550 on your home planet of Betelgeuse, that being is alive and well
within its own energetic timeframe.
Some incarnations are closer energetic matches to your present moment than
others. These other "yous" are creating other experiences and understandings in
their own timeframes, but they still hold various levels of resonance to the
"you" that exists in your present moment.
Your higher self is in tune with all these various incarnations occurring
simultaneously. It is by tuning in to your higher self that you learn about
these other "yous" incarnated throughout time. As you learn about them, you can
choose to visit them in consciousness. In this way, you are able to share
information, knowledge and skills.
It is by learning about and connecting with these other "yous" that you are able
to come more fully into latent talents and abilities. A Mozart or Einstein is
not created in one lifetime. True genius develops over an arc of lifetimes and
culminates in a timeframe where the individual is able to merge with other
aspects of themselves to consolidate understandings and abilities honed
throughout time.
Charting a Map of your Consciousness
When an idea, thought, vision or sensation flashes across the horizon of your
present moment, it can originate from within your present moment or from any of
your other "incarnated aspects" with which you have suddenly come into
heightened resonance. Such momentary flashes occur all the time.
Not only are you able to spontaneously enter into closer range with your other
"aspects," you are also able to access them at will. To do this, you will need
to begin a process of consciousness mapping to identify the incarnational
aspects most strongly aligned with your present lifetime. You can begin a
consciousness mapping process by closely examining your present moment, which is
a hologram of your entire being. Every facet of your present reality points to a
specific aspect of your being that exists elsewhere "in time." You meet these
other aspects of yourself every day – nightly, in dreams, in daydreams, or
whenever you encounter a new person or new situation with which you strongly
resonate.
There are aspects of your consciousness you know well. You may be very familiar
with your nurturing self, your musical self, your creative self, but have little
experience with your scientific self, your healer self or your inventor self.
One day you may find yourself suddenly fascinated with healing and feel healing
energy surging in your hands. This is a moment when you come into closer range
with your healer self. As you add these new selves to the map of your
consciousness, they become like phone numbers or hyper text links connecting you
with other realities where other "yous" exist in other timeframes.
Projecting Your Consciousness to Other Locations
Each person is able to project their consciousness to any desired location in
time and space. You can project your consciousness to a point in the past where
you are able to view past events from an expanded perspective. Seeing an old
situation in a new and expanded way helps you "see-through" any emotional
densities you may have assigned to events at a time when your understandings
were not as great as they are now.
As you continue to expand spiritually, you can extend your consciousness into
other locations in time and space. The possibilities are endless and only
limited by the scope of your imagination.
You can visit another location on Earth, another location anywhere in the
universe and at any point in time - past or future. Once you have projected
your consciousness into a location, it becomes a point on the map of your
consciousness you can return to. Your travels in consciousness become part of
your memory field. These "memories" are as real as any others; they are part of
who you are.
Being able to project your consciousness into a much larger perspective is
emotionally freeing. That is because you are able to see the bigger picture of
what is happening at the moment. Stepping beyond the confines of your physical
existence allows you to see the interconnectedness of all things. Any time you
are able to shift from the small picture of what you are experiencing to the
larger picture, you are able to understand the meaning of what is happening.
When you can project your consciousness into the bigger picture, you make
decisions from a broader framework.
When you project your consciousness into the point on the map where you are
creating your future, you are able to make conscious adjustments in your present
efforts. It is not that you are creating new spaces in consciousness; you're
simply stretching into more of what is already there. Just as the map is not
the road, your current understandings and the points on the map you have
discovered so far are not the totality of your consciousness. Your experiences
are points on the map of your infinite consciousness.
Discovering and Healing Past Traumas
As you learn to chart and access other aspects of yourself, you may become aware
of inner wounds you have carried over into your present lifetime. You're able
to track through time to other "yous" still experiencing traumatic or troubling
events. These other "yous" experiencing trauma broadcast signals through time
that you continuously pick up on until you heal the wound within yourself. It
is by coming into awareness of these other "yous" that you are able to free your
spirit from past events and gain the understandings you were seeking by creating
the original events.
Visiting a Future Creation
Just as you can heal your past within your present moment, you can also visit
your future to gain important knowledge and information. You do this by looking
at your dreams and visions of what you want to create in this lifetime. Track
your intended creations into the future to witness their arrival in physical
reality. You do this through the eyes of future "yous" within this lifetime.
This allows you to fine-tune your creations and learn from the aspects of
yourself who have completed the experiences that are "in progress" within your
present moment.
You can learn how to live your life right now by visiting your last day on Earth
in this lifetime. During this visit, you may receive information of important
undertakings that might be left undone if you stay on your present course. In
this way, you are able to make course adjustments now. You can also visit your
next lifetime to see what will be "carried over" from this lifetime that you
could clear up and resolve now.
Experiencing Vertical Time
Most people tend to think of moments as happening in a horizontal or "linear"
fashion. But there is another way to experience moments. You might think of this
as "vertical time." In vertical time, you may experience a week that feels like
a year of "linear" time. One way to experience vertical time is to step outside
of time. You do this by removing your conscious focus from the space/time
continuum to effectively "step outside of time" into the world of no-time. This
is the timeless dimension of spirit where you become a time traveler visiting
your past and future to discover your spiritual destiny. By traveling through
time to your past, you are able to bring about healing and release for the parts
of your spirit trapped in time by emotional traumas and other misunderstandings.
Releasing your past frees trapped energy that becomes available to empower your
present moment. It is this process of retrieving your soul in all the places
where it is held that frees your consciousness and allows your complete focus in
the present moment. This complete focus allows you to discover and fulfill your
spiritual purpose and destiny.
An empowered present-moment self is able to travel to your future to commune
with your future self and discover who you are becoming and what you came here
to do. By merging with your future "self," you are able to view the fruits of
your present creations and make course corrections if you don't like what you
see.
The Doorway of the Imagination
Your ability to expand your present moment is largely dependent on your
willingness to travel through the doorway of your imagination.
There is a thoughtform on earth that whatever resides in the realm of the
imagination is "not real" or "made up." Those who belittle the workings of the
imagination are limiting themselves to a purely physical-based existence.
The imagination is the doorway to true spiritual liberation and transcendence.
It is the imagination that expands the consciousness into new realms and
thoughtforms that effectively create new pathways in the mind and spirit.
The person who cultivates an active and vivid imagination is able to join hands
with their past and future to bring their point of power (the present moment) to
a laser focus for creating the highest good for themselves and all others. It is
this laser beam of conscious, clear vision that has the power to heal you at all
levels and transport you into a future of joy and well-being.
In the next segment of this series, we will look at how beings from the future
are helping usher in fifth-dimensional consciousness.
