Transformative and Evolving Changes
When my anger at my father dissolved many years ago as penetrating Understandings and deep Compassion flowed forth, I think a process of transformation was unfolding and has continued to evolve. Rather than being stuck amidst the DCBA reality for my identity and experiences, I had also begun to know myself as both an Essential I and spirit-being. Today, I continue to see one’s identity and identification processes as being at the center of any expansions we make as encultured spirit-beings, that is, who/what is the “I”?
From my past experiences and Understandings, I have culled five elements I believe are significant in order to free oneself from various current-day cultural enclosures:
- Disengaging oneself as a spirit-being and Essential I from one’s physical body and experiences, and directly experiencing oneself in various nonembodied modes. (Because we in the Western world have been programmed culturally with some scientific/objective patterns, where we are said to be our body’s experiences, to my mind this untangling is important.)
- Being able to shift one’s identity more and more to an invisible essence that is directly part of Source energy.
- Being able to Understand and skillfully use the divine powers one is already using, albeit with very limited and limiting current-day designs.
- Being able to successfully remove previous cultural programming and one’s embedded reactions to experiences.
- Being able to skillfully and selectively energize new and fresh patterns for new and fresh results.
As a reminder, my ideas about “the Essential I” and spirit-beingness as the innermost-source portion of ourselves as human beings are all personal thought constructions, a way to think about oneself among many other ways to organize how we humans think “it all works” and who/what we are.
In the forthcoming chapter I’m proposing some probable replacement designs for the BA portion of the DCBA realities which, within my worldview, I believe we humans have been and are experiencing in today’s world.
