Reality BEYOND the Light

SOUL JOURNEYS BEYOND THE LIGHT REALM

True story:
(1998)
I wasn't especially tired or sleepy, just wanted to ease a backache after hours on my feet at work. Stretched out in bed, on top of the covers, adjusted my pillow and tried to find the most comfortable position. Thought over the day's events. Nothing of note. Bored. Decided to relax with a visual exercise in my mind. Not self-hypnosis exactly, just a simple relaxation technique. Pictured a cool, shadowy path with sunlight filtering through the trees on either side. Dirt path under my feet. I put myself on this path and proceeded to imagine walking along, enjoying the serenity and tranquility. Still not sleepy, tried to ignore the stiff and sore muscles in my lower back. Continued with the visualization.
Then something strange happened.
Without warning there were two of me. A second self had appeared on the road several yards before me. This 'other self' turned around to look at me, and when it did, I was engulfed in an enormous wave of energetic vibrations - like liquid electricity. This other self smiled, turned back to continue walking ahead down the path. There appeared a bright white light to the right side of the path just a few feet before my other self. I expected this self to move into the light. But it did not. It turned to glance at me again, as if to say 'watch and see', and bypassed the light. There came another bright light - it appeared ultraviolet - and this is where the other self exited, by moving into this second light.
All throughout this visualization, I had been awake, alert and, like a curious child, eagerly following in my mind this second self to see what would happen. Somehow my imagination had taken on a life of its own? Or had my consciousness divided? What happened to this second self? Why the two lights? Always the endless questions.

This may come as a surprise, but not every culture considers the 'white light' to be end-game goal of the soul. There are those spiritual adepts who caution against the entering thereof, or proclaim the light to be just one more in a long series of 'illusions' which man must pass beyond in order to reach the ultimate reality. And likewise, a few afterlife researchers, such as Peter Novak - author of two incredible books, The Division of Consciousness and The Lost Secret of Death (I cannot recommend these highly enough! If you've yet to read The Lost Secret of Death, please do so at the first opportunity) - propose that the human soul mind is not a single entity and actually divides/splits after death.

The Light Realm, in accordance with what Peter Novak terms the Binary Soul Doctrine, is a right-brain experience, wherein emotion, metaphor, analogies and symbols predominate. Where a connection to all of creation is experienced (omnipresence), language/verbal skills are diminished and telepathy/knowing is the norm. Any reality as experienced by the right brain is lacking in detail, critical thinking and objective analysis.

So what, you may rightfully ask, is the ultimate and true reality which lies beyond death? If the Light Realm is an illusion generated by a right-brain perception, what awaits the fully integrated mind? And is such a state attainable, at least in our present condition?

My personal take, as it stands thus far, is that there is no Here and There, no state of life or afterlife, no yen/yang or anything else dichotomous in nature. What we currently experience as reality is a false experience - an illusion as presented by our divided brain system. I've said this before and here, I say it again: Until man is able to 'factor in' to his equations, concepts and theories the undeniable fact that his mind, itself, is yet flawed, then so must all our deductions, truisms and anything else derived from a faulty system be logically considered as also flawed. We cannot truly know anything, or declare anything with certainty, until this 'bug' in the system is accounted for.

The Grays and the Human Wall

GRAY ALIENS, Reptilians and the Resistant Mind:

... so He did speak of stones dropped from the skies,
and creatures that crept
when unawares the rest slept -
Yet all were but lies 'til He proved otherwise.
M.A.DeBorde

We have too many answers for all the wrong questions. We live in an intellectual Catch 22. Tomorrow overturns today's fact, next year's theory will be built on the ashes of yesteryear's, as we are led further and deeper into the forest of understanding, and without flashlight or candle we grope blindly about, stumbling into those ahead or behind us, and we've left but the finest of bread crumbs to follow - a trail of agreement which the winds of opinion do constantly erase.

2009. Our species has expanded its peek into the microcosm and macrocosm to the point we have reason to ponder there exist more suns in the heavens than grains of sand on Earth's beaches. We build stunningly ingenious particle accelerators in our search for what we call the Higgs Boson particle. We suspect the presence of universes beyond that of our own; mysterious vortexes of such gravitational pull may rest outside our known universe as to put all else as on the scale of a pinhead; by the sheer virtue of mathematics and logic most of us bow our heads in acknowledgement that intelligent life must surely exist elsewhere - perhaps in abundance.

We question whether the known laws of physics is an absolute or a local phenomenon. We have learned that animals are more intelligent, capable and self-aware than supposed. There are elephants who paint and dolphins who learn language. We have come to know that the Earth is not flat, nor God - and we struggle to expand our mind's ability to grasp the inexplicable. Our species' talent for technology astounds us, for it is a collective achievement and no single man may replicate the whole. We are a race of explorers.

Our curiosity drives us while our emotions may wreck us. We know these things. We know our ancestors were not stupid. We have learned that they were not so brutish and bumbling as once supposed. We stand at the foot of their monuments and marvel, we also stand at the apex of their accomplishments to continue the work they began. We have learned to light fire to banish the darkness, we have learned to separate the superstition from the stupendous. We humbly acknowledge the more we have learned the less that we know, but it doesn't stop us from hammering at the walls of our ignorance. We laugh at our foibles. We persevere. We have courage.

Yet, for all we seek change it is the one thing, including death, we are most resistant to. For the majority of us who believe in an omnipotent God and seek Him on a daily basis, we persecute those who hear Him answer. We place more ease of trust in our cellphones than we do our own minds. We know we are materialistic and self-driven, as we preach of the beauty of the soul only to ignore this same beauty while we glorify the flesh.

We are a dichotomous species with the potential for boundless achievement. We know these things for we are trapped in a terrible love-affair with our own humanity.

To continue:

We both expect and speculate on the existence of other beings; yet we deny their presence.

We worship at the throne of technology; though we treat it as magic and refuse to acknowledge the magic we have yet to discover.

We encourage diversity, discovery and a quest for greater knowledge, though we must deny, ridicule and persecute the same until one of us has the courage to stifle his laughter.

We would rather experience the unexpected vicariously through movies and books, than risk the opening of a door in our minds and souls, for we fear what may walk through.

We fear to run ahead, for we leave the security of our herd behind. And we cannot bear to have witness to our fall.

We are as children who wail for our parents on the other side of the wall, though we reinforce this wall with bricks of our own design.

Still, we know all this. And through this knowledge, we are given the courage to somehow continue our journey through the darkness towards the Light.
