(The above is a picture I took from Mt. Wilson).
At this point, hopefully, you've read what I've discovered about the journey of the soul or what Tim Boyd calls the one story and Joseph Campbell called the Hero's Journey. The story of who we are and why we are here has always been hidden in plain sight. We write it over and over again. Only when we deal with all of our emotional baggage that we project on the rest of creation can we really see things for what they are truly. By now you should hopefully have read about my meditation on how the Kingdom of Heaven is not a place but a state of mind. Further, you should have read my meditation on Lucifer/Prometheus/Maui...and how they represent us and the disorganization of perception that occurred in our Minds when we created the Ego as an apparatus to experience the physical world. Now, here is something that really shifted my paradigm again. The Mind Of God As I explained before in the Mind of God blog there is nothing in all of the Cosmos that exists outside of All-That-Is/ Source. You can read this here: http://bridgetkorns.weebly.com/blog/category/mind-of-god. Different sources say there are three aspects of this source. The Unchanging One of which everything is composed, The one that perceived itself and created, and then the material world. The Unchanging One that is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. This part doesn't experience the material realm...is more like the data that composes reality or the particles that simply exist. The Egyptians call this the Womb or Nieth. This is the part that composes absolutely everything...this is the omnipotent, omniscience and the perfect aspect. In Kabbalah this is called The Kingdom. From that womb of potential one was produced that could perceive itself (I'm in midst of writing what perception means) and it was upon this sense of perception that, according to Kabbalah, light was unleashed so violently that it caused disorder. In Egyptian Mysticism this was Ra who created names for his members and these came into being int he form of the Gods who are int he following of Ra. From these Gods came "the Millions." (1999, Ancient Egyptian Mysticism by John Van Auken). This suggests that God is both latent and active. We can see a hint of this idea in science. In the Double Slit Experiment (which has been proven with the Scientific Method by several groups), light particles act as waves but when observed they become particles and this is why 'god' can be in two states at once...not only does God compose everything that exists but another aspect acts as an organizing principal that creates what we perceive. No Separation We are taught through Dogma that we must all be good little girls or boys in this life in order to gain entry into Heaven or exit Samsara. We believe that we must 'go' somewhere in order to rejoin with God/Source. The 'truth,' we are taught, is out there somewhere beyond our body and beyond us...we need outside information or some spiritual journey to a place to find the answers (astral or physical). This isn't true. If we are composed of All-That-IS and we are in the image of All-That-Is there is nowhere to go because we are always in contact with and a part of Source. We have never and will never be separated from Source. We can only perceive that a boundary exists because we do not experience communication in the form we expect when interacting on the Material Plane of Existence. The communication and the connection is always there. We only think that we are operating independently. We don't have to earn anything. We don't have to go anywhere. We don't have to die to the flesh to know All-That-Is. Since it is merely our state of mind that prevents us from seeing God/All-That-Is...we merely have to expand our consciousness to the point where we realize we are One with God. That we never left and that there is nowhere to go to find our answers. Instead, we know that we are a divine reflection, a copy (or mirror if you prefer) made in the same image of Source and so we have all of the information stored within ourselves. Once we begin exploring what that means we realize that we can experience the At-one-ment here and now. The experience doesn't become something that we only have when we die...it becomes a part of our life in this instant and every instant that we experience thereafter. Spark of the Flame Here is a simple metaphor. This is an old metaphor. You can see it in the worship of Ra in Egypt. In the Zoroastrian eternal flames. The Eternal Flame of the Goddess Smith Bridget. All-That-Is or Source is like the sun...a glowing disc that is warm and gives life freely. Each of us is made in the image of that sun...we each have a tiny little inner sun within us, that we normally call the soul, that is part of that larger ball of fire. That image is a perfect copy of the sun...it has access and contains all of the same potentials and energy of the Source. The flame of a candle is a smaller version of the fire in he hearth...and single flames compose the larger fire. The Source could not and would not destroy itself in any way shape or form so realizing that we are One does not diminish us nor Source. In fact, it makes everything stronger. The problem is most people act as though their souls are the moon. The moon reflects only diminished light back to the Sun. In order to access the knowledge of Source, to clear our little mirror of debris so we reflect back the full light of Source, we must simply Know Ourselves. That can be as complicated a process as you deem necessary. This involves analyzing our beliefs and how we react to our every day situation with the question, "Does this belong to me?" Too often we take on beliefs that are from our society, our parents, our educational system or some religious doctrine that does not genuinely reflect what we know at our core. We can go out and research this information until we are blue in the face...but knowing and believing information is two different things. That which we do not truly believe never really finds a place at the core of our being. After deep introspection it is easy to identify what is truly something you believe in versus what someone else taught you to believe (often at the punishment of destruction if you failed to believe it). Acceptance Of Self We must take that one step further in order to accept Oneness with All-That-Is. We must learn to love ourselves and not fear ourselves. A lot of the suffering I see comes from people rejecting some aspect of themselves. We walk around with what we think are these big dark secrets that if other people knew them or we admitted their existence to ourselves people would surely reject us. Well, not usually, and not if the people who surround you really love you. Love does not see flaws...it only sees beauty. For example, you might be aware of a great big pimple on your nose. Well, if someone really loves you they won't even notice it. The only people who notice and dwell on flaws in others are those who dwell on their own flaws. That's one of the ways you can tell if people are operating on the Level of Love which is of Source or the Level of Judgement which is of the Ego. Everything that is judged not perfect is cast out and denied in the person who cannot accept themselves. We can see that when people dis-own parts of their reality. They are disowning that aspect of themselves. The reality a person perceives is but a reflection of their inner state...it becomes clear they lack self acceptance and usually in the area that they vehemently deny or try to control in other people. If they hate drunks, they don't accept that they might have been intoxicated at one point and disliked how they behaved. If all they talk about is how they hate cheaters, more than likely they were a cheater at some point or are a cheater...unable to accept the truth about themselves they project their un-owned aspect on someone else. When we look at others and we see them as gross, disgusting or hard to stomach...we disown that in our own way we are gross, disgusting and hard to stomach. There is at least one person we have encountered in our lives that have perceived us that way. To deny this is similar to denying our own existence. We cannot always please everyone and always leave the best impression with everyone. We all have bad days, we've all made mistakes and we have all been the 'bad guy' to someone in our life. However, we can choose to relate to someone who is having a bad day...find that place of sympathy and loving kindness that we developed for ourselves and extend it to them. Instead of reacting in fear and anger to someone who is having a bad day...we can show loving kindness and patience. We can only have this loving kindness and patience when we develop them for ourselves first. We must admit to ourselves that we make mistakes, we have bad days, we are not perfect...and only when we have forgiven ourselves can we forgive all that we encounter. We can then extend the peace we carry within to other people. Conclusion To me this was a mind-boggling realization. I knew that it was the inward path that would lead to God/At-One-Ment with All-That-IS but I didn't realize that there never was separation....just the illusion of Separation to give us room to adjust to our own self-perception. As I wrote in my Standing Unashamed Before God post...it takes a lot before we can stand before God unashamed. A big part of that is forgiving ourselves for our seeming lack of self-perfection. Sure, we are not perfect as this world wants us to be but we are Not Of This World. We are of All-That-Is....and this world is but a fading dream. Unless and until we accept and forgive all of our own faults we will never fill that we are worthy to Stand Before Source. We created this world to hide from him what we thought were inadequacies and try to purge them. Yet, there are no inadequacies within us...yes, perhaps we have failed at some point in life but that is how we learn and we are not always what we think is perfect...but we are always what Source perfectly created us to be because we cannot be anything less or more. Who are we to argue with Source about the perfection of creation? Instead, on an individual level we think there is separation. We think we are alone when we are surrounded by God/Source/All-That-Is...we cannot and will never leave the infinite womb of the creator for we are always One. Yet, we focus on the trees never realizing that we never left the forest. We need not die nor go anywhere to experience the Oneness. We simply expand our mind until we perceive all of creation differently. I know some people are saying, "It can't be that easy. You say simply but it's more complicated then that!" The process needs only to be as complicated as you what you think is appropriate. Those who come to this realization earlier then others are no less valuable then those who make themselves jump through hoops. At the same time, we are aware that we are an individual and when we are awake we can choose to work with All-That-Is through the Natural Order because our role within this play of light is obvious. We realize that trying to impose our will on anything in creation is a fruitless venture. That nothing that Source wishes to exist will ever cease exist. That we are not the creator of our own reality but the co-creator willingly riding the tides of life wherever they may take us filled with wonder of the majesty of it all. Forever safe, forever loved and forever treasured by Source there is never anything to fear because not even Death which most people fear most (as Jesus proved) exists. We are eternal beings of pure consciousness that will exist forever and nothing can harm us.

In a recent exchange with people about the "Mandela Effect" a woman stated in explanation of the phenomenon, "We all exist within the mind of God."
This statement confused the heck out of the person we were trying to help who was very upset with the idea of the Mandela Effect. I've covered what I think of the phenomenon in my Time Lines Blog. That it is not really that important in our day to day life if we are switching between Timelines. That we can take the knowledge of such events as proof of the Creators existence and our own Multi-Dimensional Spiritual nature. When contemplating the statement, "We all exist within the mind of God," it also reminds me of the Holographic Universe idea that Science has put forth. For a time, I thought about writing a blog on that subject and then I realized that these two concepts are very much intertwined. When I responded to the women that made that general statement much to the confusion of the person we were trying to console I explained there were layers to the concept. She seemed bewildered and I realized that her conceptualization was far more simple then my own and perhaps she didn't know how exactly it may work. I don't know for certain if my perspective is correct. I cannot offer proof. Yet, it is on an internal level that this idea has brought me great peace and understanding. I'm just going to explain my perception of how we 'exist within God's mind'. This is what makes sense to me and it is what really changed my perception of the world, myself and the Creator. In my mind, the holographic universe (and there are lot of people sharing how that may be and what it might mean out there so I urge you to do the research) and the "Mind of God" are one in the same. Neither is something to become paranoid about on any level. So Tiny As To Be Effectively Hidden "According to the Dogon Priests, the central point of the figure is actually conceived as another very small circular space, which is where the Dogon Creator-God Amma is found. ALthough this idea is not spoken of in public, Amma is considered to be so small as to be effectively "hidden" and is understood to be dual in nature (from one perspective, Amma is interpreted to be both male and female). To underscore these points, the plan for the Dogon granary shrine provides that a small cup holding two even smaller grains be placed at the center point of the shrine." (pg 30, Point of Origin Laird Scranton) Bashar explains that there is only one infinitely small point of light travelling really really fast that forms all of creation. That one point of light could be described as the "creator" because it is literally creating All- That- Is. I believe that this small point of light or energy is actually smaller than the quantum level. This is also referred to in the Jewish mystical group, the Kabbalah, where there is a hidden "God" in the tree of life. In Quantum Physics it has been proven that photons, which are really really tiny, act in "Spooky Ways," according to Einstein. The fundamental building blocks of our reality do not behave as Scientists thought they should. They can't find a rhyme or reason why a photon cut in two separated by miles can somehow remain connected to the point where they can share information. In another instance, the photons in the Slit Experiment behaved differently when observed. Recently, in a book called Edgar Cacye's Story of Jesus he explained that when he was in that trance state, he saw a small little ball of light ascend from his body...this, I take, to be his soul. This explains orbs, they are spirits as we are, on a soul level created in the image of the All-That-Is. How All-That-Is can be so tiny and yet so much at the same time is a bit complicated but Laird Scranton captures it well in a few of his books which I will go into in a different blog. I believe that "All That Is" exists on a level that is even smaller than the Quantum level and the Quantum level is essentially the Dream Weave or the Template level through which our reality is formed. This is how, All-That-Is forms everything in our universe, including us, and at the same time because it encompasses All-That-Is retains it's own individuality. Vibration and The Dream Weave There is a website that explains some of the basic concepts that Bashar teaches about how the "Physics of this World" work. In it there is the statement, "All Things Are The Same One Thing Vibrating At Different Rates." In this paradigm to reach the the life that serves our Highest Purpose we simply need to tune into the right frequency to interact with the reality we want. This allows for infinite universes, infinite versions of us and infinite timelines. This also demonstrates that we can control, or choose, the timeline that suits us best (although, with the splitting of the prism some timelines might not become accessible). The way that Jamie Sams describes the Dream Weave is similar. By every action we make we weave a strand into the Dream Weave. We are consciously putting out energy that shapes the world that we perceive in our day to day life. Physics seems to capture this idea with String Theory. This suggests that there are Strings that vibrate. Some of the Threads are entangled (meaning they pass information to one another) while some are not. I have not studied this idea except in passing but it is interesting that Physics has a theory that seems to reflect the idea of the the Dream Weave. Laird Scranton gives examples of how the Dogon teachings actually represent this idea. In Native American and Dogon traditions it is a mother spider that weaves these strings or the web of life. In Egypt is the Goddess Nieth. In Greek mythology it was three old women called Fates. So there is a lot to suggest that the fabric of the our reality is woven by cosmic and perhaps elemental forces. Finally, it is possible that it is in this level that the "Spirit Realm" or what we experience in between lives exist. Here is a description from Journey of Souls by Michael Newton: "Dr. Newton: Do you see the spirit world here as made up of a solid structure? Subject : That's what I'm trying to explain. It's not solid, although you might think so at first. It's layered- the levels of light are all woven together in...stratified threads. I don't want to make it sound like things are not symmetrical- they are. But I see variations in thickness and color refraction in the layers. They also shift back and forth. I always notice this as I travel away from Earth." For more examples and explanation of what the Dream Weave is or this level of existence please refer to the section titled Dream Weave in this previous blog: http://bridgetkorns.weebly.com/blog/shift-deviation Reflections of the Creator So far we have one self-aware infinite point of light that exists outside of time and space in which everything happens in one moment simultaneously. All histories, all realities and all future realities in an infinite amount of universes and infinite amount of timelines. This point of creation is the creator or All-That-Is and it is conscious of itself and all of it's creation. Then we have the Dream Weave or the Template level of creation. This consists of thousands of vibrating strands that we literally weave with our beliefs, intentions, desires and interactions with others. We could say that this web is the way through which we use all of the information offered by the creator to create our own reality along with him. Yet, what are we really? Well, the Ancient Egyptians knew. The following is from John Van Aunken's book Ancient Egyptian Mysticism and its Relevance Today. Everything "The Egyptian Book of the Dead actually carries the hieroglyphic title, "The Book of the Master of the Hidden Places" or "Coming Forth By Day" pg 2 "In these earliest times, the many gods of the Egyptians were unique children of One Great God, the Source of All Life....Even in Genesis the plural Form is used as the name of God, indicating that the One was composed of many, and the many contained the Universal, Omnipresent One. Ra, as a great god as he was to the ancient Egyptians, was not the ultimate deity, but a projection from out of the Ultimate Unseen One. The unindividualized Most High God would be considered the pure disk, symbolizing God's unindividualized nature. God was seen through It''s creation- not directly, for It was not seeable as an individual- but very similar to St. John's concept expressed in his epistle, "No man has at any time seen God...but the Begotten of God has revealed Him. Before creation, the ancient Egyptian God Nun (or Nu) was all there was. Nun is infinity, nonthing, nowhere, and Darkness. In Gensesis, Nun would correspond with the verse, "Darkness was upon the deep," which is followed by, "let there be light." Within the Darkness, the god Atum (or Tem or Tum) was self-created and began the creation within itself. Atum literally means "no to be", meaning unmanifested, not personified, not born. As written in the Papyrus of Pepi I, this was "Spirit, still and formless, who bore within itself the sum of all existence. This is similar to the Hindu descriptions of Brahman and Atman. According to the Hindus, God has two aspects: One is the unmanifested, unmoved, unchanged, the same yesterday, today and tomorrow (Brahman); the other is present, active and with us (Atman). Atman is similar to the concept of the Logos or, "The Word" or the "First Begotten of God" which begins St. Johns Gospel and by which 'All Things Were made." "Nun and Atum could be considered the feminine and masculine aspects of God. Nun is the womb of the Mother God, dark, silent, yet latent with the potential for creation. Atum is the projected aspect of the Father God, actively involved in and with the creation." There are several texts in which the ancient Egyptian writers are clearly speaking of a singular God. Their apparent polytheism is due to their proximity to the original creation in which the created and the Creator were still one. The God had given birth to many godlings. The original, wiser, ancient Egyptians were not polytheistic." (pg 5-6) Further, explaining the polytheistic nature of the Egyptian God's and that it doesn't mean that Egyptians originally believed in multiple God's here is a breakdown of what the word "Giza" means by Laird Scranton in his Book Point of Origin: "...None of Budges words for Giza offered me any real insights into the possible symbolism for the word, but I was also aware that Dogon and Egyptian cosmological terms often seem to combine predefined phonetic root words to create more complex terms. I turned my search toward the two phonetic roots of the word, gi and sa. Gi is an Egyptian word that refers to a "high place" or a "terrace" two attributes that can be seen to define a plateau. The term terrace is used as a cosmological key word in Buddhism to refer to a stupa shrine. Sa is a word that Budge defines to mean "Knowledge deified." Taken together, these phonetic roots convey a meaning of "terrace of knowledge deified," a definition that seemed wholly appropriate to the likely symbolism of the Giza plateau." Given that both the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx are at the Giza plateau it does indicate that's where knowledge was symbolically stored in stone. As I've stated before, The Great Pyramid Timeline by John Van Auken explains that there is a timeline within the Great Pyramid. Further, as the above passages of Egyptian Mysticism by John Van Auken indicates the different God's of Egypt actually represented different states of matter. The Creator is actually, "One composed of many, and the many contain the Universal, Omnipresent One," and he is, "The Hidden One." This goes right along with what I've already written about All-That-IS being a single point of light at one level of existence and how on our level of existence God is everything, barely perceptible to our science, but always there and within us. We simply exist within god and can never be separated from him. Reflections of God So, God created Godlings. We are those Godlings. I've also stated before that it is our soul that is in the image of God and not our body. Here is a description of what the soul body looks like from Journey of Souls by Michael Netwon who specializes on In Between Lives Regressions: "Dr. Newton :Do you see these people as familiar people on Earth?" Subject: I...have a sensation of their presence...people I knew... Dr. Newton: All right, keep moving along. What do you see next? Subject: Lights...soft...kind of cloudy like. Dr. Newton: As you are moving, does this light continue to look the same? Subject: NO, they are growing...blobs of energy...and I know they are people!" From the Website summarizing some of Bashar's basic principals (http://iasos.com/metaphys/bashar/#Blueprint ) there is this: "Every individual is a self-aware, self-reflective free-will entity - a holographic representation of the Infinite Creation." Conclusion I tried to make this as simple as I could even though it's a huge topic. I have given many examples of how it works, how it is hinted at throughout several cultures, and it may be a subject I have to visit many times. Yes, in a way we are all within the mind of the Creator and the Creator is within each of us making up the very fabric of our beings. We are also mini-creators learning how to create through our lessons that we learn here on Earth. That way, one day, we will be companions to God with our own individuality and perception of ourselves as individualized aspects of All-That-Is. The issue is, on our planet, we as souls have turned our face away from the Light of the Source. What this means, is that we sought out our own independence and we are working towards returning to the Light and Oneness. This is a process, wherein, much as a teenager rebels against their parents, we form our own individuality. Then we turn back to God, and the Oneness, and the Light having been transformed by this process. Sometimes, it takes many incarnations to do this, and it is a choice that we as souls made. There is more on this topic but I will cover this in a later post. While we are on Earth we are also creating, often on an unconscious level based on patterns and expectations that our Parents, Society and our Educational system has taught us. We are working with the Dream Weave to decide what type of reality we experience here on Earth. Now that is an entirely different post and really new territory for me. For now, it's clear that before the Ancients descended into the period of forgetfulness and supposed Separation from All-That-Is they understood the fundamental building blocks of matter that sciences is only now discovering. They understood how creation was made, that God was the Unseen One that creates all of existence. They understood the Dream Weave and how to work with it. The perception of All-That-IS, the Creator, God, has really opened my mind and changed how I perceive the world. Yet, I have known it all along because when I was a child, no more than six, playing Barbies I had the thought, "Is this how God perceives us? He creates characters, they develop their own personalities and then he watches the scenarios they create play out?" Any author knows the feeling that the Creator must have. As an author I am the character in my books, each with their own personality and yet removed from them. Each one has a purpose in the story but at some point they simply take on a life of their own that can be mind boggling even to the writer of the story. As far as the nature of the Creator, how he could allow Evil to exist and Evil People to exist...I see it much as an author writing a story. The author creates both good guys and bad guys...but that doesn't mean that either really reflect the nature of the Author. Yes, they are aspects of the authors imagination, but we don't look at J.K. Rowling and because she created the character Voldemort think that she is evil for creating him. Further, evil people always have the ability to be redeemed. In fact, it is suggested that all of us at some point have been evil in our past lives but that does not mean that our soul is evil. Even then, some of the best stories are when a villain seeks redemption. |
