Dimensional Beings
It continues to make the most sense for me to think that we humans are multidimensional beings, with varying aspects of ourselves within different levels or dimensions. In our culture, because of our official agreements about reality and how it all works, I think we have been especially shut off from other aspects of ourselves, while intuition, gut feelings, a sixth sense, prayers, and dreams have given many of us wider openings into these other realities. I say “wider” because I see other levels as always active in some way or another, even though we limit them and oftentimes distort them with our patterns for translations.
Therefore, when I read or hear people talk about going within to a place of stillness where they are at peace and they experience a freedom from struggle and striving, I see them as Essential I/spirit-beings in relationship with this reality system, primarily experiencing a more expanded dimension than the one they usually experience from within their culturally programmed home base.
Yes, as Essential I/spirit-beings I think we are naturally flexible, mobile, and travel easily; but with the cultural limitations we set up for our identity, safety, and having a viable place in our society, as Essential I/spirit-being experiencers we are often enclosed within our five sense experiences. Now to my mind that’s all been part of our valuable spirit-being experiment, to give us contrasts and Understandings. And, at the same time, it seems this drama is soon coming to an end.
In the later 1970s, when my partner, Jim, and I were living in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains in northern California, I experienced a dramatic example of some of what I am talking about. This event took place amidst a context when I was involved with my anger toward my father, which I had to resolve as he was nearing the end of his life. At the time, I decided that the way for me to do this was to go within, exploring my own thoughts and emotions as originations that were my part of the conflicts between us, and to also seek inner divine guidance that I believed was available to me in various guises.
One day, while being divinely advised and assisted with a procedure I’d played around with on previous occasions, I was going “to the roots of my being to explore the depths and breadth of Love.” So, I counted back from ten to zero as “I” descended to what I was calling the roots of my being, (and at the time I designated it as the roots of all being). When I got to zero, almost immediately I burst out laughing with the recognition that I was Love! This wasn’t some sort of mental concept; instead, that’s the way it was, like an Understanding I was permeated with. After a while I ascended, and as I did I mentally shook my head, telling myself, “I’ll never be able to translate this into my usual life!”
Even so, this experience from almost three decades ago was big in terms of my psyche, more than likely serving as one of the energy charges and beacons I’ve used over the years to put together a worldview that makes sense to me, which is also always open for modifications and changes.
And yes, over the years to my own satisfaction, I have been able to translate my experience of Being Love at the roots of my being. In that dimension I think I Am Love and so is Everybody Else!
