I apologize that I did not post as I usually do on Friday. I had the opportunity to visit the Learning Light Center for their Easter Psychic Fair. I experienced a wonderful healing, bought a Lapis Lazuli pendant and some organic honey. I'm posting this a day early and this week will start posting Book Reviews on Wednesdays. My backlog of already written posts are growing so large that I've been neglecting that aspect of my blog. This is one of the most complex and abstract subjects that I have come across. I credit Laird Scranton's books on the Dogon and Daryl Anka's Channeling of Bashar for helping me to conceive of this concept. Once I was able to wrap my mind around this concept a lot of metaphysical teachings became very clear. How is it possible that we are one with God yet an individuality? I have come to accept this concept on a deep level as the Rabbit Dream that I explained back in January indicates (http://bridgetkorns.weebly.com/blog/bunny-dream-interpertation). There is Only One There is only one being here. There is only Source/ All-That-IS. That we are separate is an illusion created by Time and Space. We all exist within a collective of thought. The reason Earth is so special is that we can so quickly create and explore our own individuality on this planet. By not being in direct contact with Collective Thought (Source) we are able to experience and develop our own individual energetic pattern. Then we can retain this when we are on the other side of the veil. Character's In A Book Metaphor To best understand this we can think of God as the greatest Author ever. Think of your favorite fantasy book or movie. Let's look at Star Wars...Luke, Leia, Han, Darth Vader and Chewie are all aspects of George Lucas. Are these the multiple personalities of George? Is he really split into all of these different characters? Yet, through his movies he explored the human condition through these characters...like little avatars in his personal universe. You can apply this to any author and any author will tell you that yes...these character's we create start off as a reflection of ourselves. We experience life through them, we gaze through their eyes based on their unique circumstances and experiences...and then at some point they become reflexive characters that we can tune into but have their own individual personality that is so much more than than what we originally assigned. Just look at Anne Rice and how she talks about the character Lestat, that he breathes in her ear and is very much alive for her...yet, one with her. This is, from my limited perspective, is what God/Source/All-That-IS is doing with us on Earth. We start off as aspects or abstract concepts. Leia started off as just a Princess who's world is destroyed but by the time we come to episode eight she is a multidimensional character that is so much than that first description George Lucas wrote and even evolved so that other people wrote about her. Imagine creating your own world and then realizing that it actually exists. If I were to magically walk through a door and appear in Merosis it would be amazing because I would know all of them are aspects of myself, yet, separate and compete individuals. To me that would be just as amazing as walking into the Star Wars universe. This is how there can be One but Many at the same time. Shards of the Same Mirror This metaphor comes straight from Daryl Anka channeling a being named Willa. He explained that her book was named, "Shards of a Broken Mirror." Meditating on that is when I really understood the metaphor. Think of God/Source as being on one side of the mirror contemplating his own reflection. The reflection is completely shattered showing different fragments of the divine's image. Some are parts of this chin, some are parts of his ankle...etc. Each individual is a broken shard of that mirror. We each reflect back a different aspect of Source/God. Yet, are the reflections of the shards in the mirror really separate from God/Source? No, they are but reflections and perspectives of the Whole but they are inherently one and they are all reflections of the One Source. Different Aspects of God Interacting When working with my dream's, after reading Kevin Todeschi's Book (Dream Interpenetration Made Easy) I realized every character that I interacted with represented an aspect of myself that I needed to work on...then I had a huge epiphany. They say every person that enters your life presents a lesson. I realized that this is how it works dreams. Every character you encounter in those dreams are a part of yourself. I realized that this meant that all of the people I'm interacting with in the waking world are aspects of the Divine. They work in a perfect harmony and unison so I am faced with different lessons I need to learn. Sometimes, I'm faced with something in myself that I don't like so I try to reject the other person. In other cases, I'm just present to show some very lost beings a different way of living. Maybe they take it to heart and start living that way or maybe they don't. Yet, if I do not role model proper behavior (as all natural leaders do...there is never a do as I say but not as I do in a genuine leader) they might never have the possibility of waking up to the idea that they have another way they could live...and they could make better choices. Through this perspective I realized that every time I interact with a human being I am interacting with a part of God/Source. Each is their own unique aspect of the Creator but they are just as valid expressions as I am This and That This is another concept taught by Bashar channeled by Daryl Anka. How can we be individuals and yet one with God? We can be both because this realm is just a reflection of Spirit. We were given Free Will so we could become companions to God/Source, which was lonely. I think we can all relate to that in some way. Yet, nothing can exist outside of Source/God. That is a bit of a paradox but it does make sense that when we cross over (a.k.a. die) we actually return to that energy and that collective mind. We only really experience that sense of separation when we are in the flesh. Some go through some terrible side effects because the sense separation and lonesome is painful. Yet, that's how we develop our own distinguishable individuality. That's why we build here, in this physical realm, our individuality by exploring what we consist of and measuring ourselves against obstacles. We learn more about ourselves in the realm of opposites and separation because we learn what we do and don't like. We test ourselves. Hall of Mirrors The people you draw into your life reflect you. The people you drew into your life five years ago or even a year ago might have been totally different from you today. That's why there is usually a constant cycle of friends leaving and friends arriving in your life. Life is fluid. Nothing is meant to be stagnant and remain the same and a lot of people are like stones unwilling to budge. The few people who are fluid and flexible enough to remain a friend as you develop are worth their weight in gold If you absolutely hate everyone that is around you...there should be alarm bells ringing in your head...because this shows that you hate yourself. We are working within a hall of mirrors...there is only one person here. Every person we meet is our self reflected back to ourselves. Let's go back to my author metaphor for God. To George Lucas, Han was his rebellious side. Luke was his more sensitive caring aspect. We know those characters come from the same person...the same Author...and we know they need each other. We see Han being taught by Luke that there is more to the Universe...that the Force exists. We watch as Luke grows into manhood because of Han's influence. This is how two aspects of the same being can learn from each other. I will go more deeply into my blog titled 'Seeing God In Others.' Conclusion This is a simple and sweet concept yet it is so fundamental. In Egyptian Mysticisim John Van Auken explains in Ancient Egyptian Mysticisim, "Before the creation the Egyptian God Nun (or nu) was all there was...the God Atum was self-created and began the creation within himself...Also, in the book of the Dead the "self created" God is asked, "Who is this?" and she answers: 'It is Ra who created names for his members and these came into being in the form of the God's who are in the following of Ra.' This is the reference to the beginning of Soul-Groups, each following in or reflecting the first cause or impulse that brought them into being. Those conceived int he following of Ra are of the same soul group and would have similar goals and perspectives on life... From out of the un-manifested God came God the Creator (Self-created). God the Creator conceived co-creators, or the godlings. From out of them came "the Millions." The Original Great Creator then gave souls to "the millions. The plan is very simple: Whoever magnifies the Creator's qualities, the creator magnifies them. Its an interrelated network of Oneness and Manyness, of Wholeness in which separateness may coexist. The ultimate gold is to subdue one's sense of separateness by magnifying the Creator's wholeness, thereby becoming one with the Whole whole knowing oneself to be oneself. " Just today, Laird Scranton shared a post on Facebook explaining one of the concepts he's studying, "In Buddhism, Purusa is the name given to masculine energy that comes together with feminine energy, Prakriti, to catalyze material creation. Adrian Snodgrass describes the Buddhist personification of the concept of Purusa as "the first form of the supreme Brahman" who "knows divisions and thinks himself composed of parts." A likely ancient Egyptian counterpart to the term is given by Budge as the word pursh, meaning "to separate". [see Budge, p. 235a]" Another poster explained that the same concept of Pakriti and Purusha. Again, we find the unmanifested unchanging feminine Goddess (Parkriti) and the manifesting God (Purusha). Here is an article on the Buddhist concept (http://www.hinduwebsite.com/hinduism/essays/the-true-meaning-of-prakriti.asp). My point here is that we find this in every tradition. We find the same concept in Adam and Eve...first there was just God and then he created Adam and Eve in spirit. As John Van Auken points out there are two points where Adam are Eve are created. First, they were created in Spirit and then they were created in flesh. For me, when I see the same story told over and over in many different religions it becomes apparent this teaching is from the Original Religion that so many claim was given to us from supernatural sources. While I am not in any place to say what that source was I think a valid argument has been created that it exists.
