PSI skills -vs- awareness (Page 2 of 4)

On Lower Psychism and Psychic Abilities

The psychic realm is not a Spiritual realm. It is a subconscious realm. The subconscious mind has certain abilities that can be tapped into, and psychic abilities are one of them. The glamour of psychic abilities sidetracks many on the Spiritual Path. Many psychics do not even believe in GOD! In this day and age, psychic abilities are often used for black magic, spells, omens, and negative forms of witchcraft or psychism. Psychic abilities are abilities that range far beyond the five Physical senses of taste, touch, hearing, seeing, and smell which allow for a wider range of perception that can transcend space, time, and dimension! Often those who have psychic gifts are very run by the subconscious mind because of their use of its gifts. This becomes a great blessing and great curse simultaneously. Very often to release themselves from this chronic victimization of the subconscious mind and Astral Body they actually have to let go of these abilities to learn to Spiritualize their whole program. Most Lightworkers don’t realize that such Spiritual senses as Spiritual discernment, comprehension, healing, divine vision, intuition, idealism, beatitude, active service, realization, perfection, and all knowledge are much more advanced. Lower psychism is an Astral Level ability. To stay stuck there as a psychic rather than become a Spiritual teacher, is to stay stuck in the Astral Plane, which, in truth, doesn’t even exist for a realized Ascended Master. Lightworkers should be much more concerned with developing the senses of the Higher Mind, the buddhic senses, atmic senses, monadic senses and logoic senses, than being enamored with the idea of being Astrally psychic. A person who is psychically developed and Psychologically and Spiritually unclear is going to have completely inaccurate and contaminated information anyway. Psychics often are under great psychic attack from Astral entities and from negative Extraterrestrials and they can’t figure out why. They don’t realize they are stuck in lower psychism, and don’t understand what true mastery of the subconscious mind, Emotional Body, and Desire Body really is. Because the negative ego is in control, it clogs and contaminates the channel and attracts Astral and Mental Entities at best, to be one’s inner guides. Often times these entities claim to be of the higher dimensions and ascended nature, when they are as confused or negatively manipulative as the people who are attracting them. People can only channel at the level of their clarity. In some cases there is an actual conscious pact made with the Dark Brotherhood. This is more common than people realize! Ponder on this!

from zenden's post:

Spiritual alchemy is the art of transforming dark energy into “the third energy,” the spiritual gold present in the Christed energy.  True spiritual alchemy introduces a ‘third energy’, a type of consciousness which embraces both polarities through the energies of awareness and understanding. The true purpose of your journey is not to have Light conquer Dark, but to go beyond these opposites and to create a new type of consciousness, which can maintain unity in the presence of both light and dark.  Creation has changed because of your journey.  The end of your journey will be that you have become larger than good and evil, light and dark. You will have created a third energy, the Christ energy, which embraces and transcends both. You will have expanded creation. You will be the New Creation. The Christ consciousness did not exist before the “human experience”. The Christ consciousness is the consciousness of one who has gone through the multilayered experience of duality, has come to terms with it, and emerges ‘on the other side’. He will be the inhabitant of the New Earth. This one will have let go of duality. He will have recognized and embraced his own divinity. He will have become one with his divine Self. But his divine Self will be different than before. It will be deeper and richer than the consciousness from which it was born. Or one could say: God will have enriched Him/Herself by having gone through the experience of duality, through YOU.

...Is learning these skills a way that keeps us trapped in the dual realm? Or is it a way out? Or both?

My own psi skill development stopped when I began my earnest awareness growth process. I clearly sensed a truth that it is a choice: illusion or truth? Seek truth first, psi skills will naturally follow later. OR... seek psi skills first, without comprehending truth, and suffer the consequences of your illusions/delusions... in a whole new arena!

All psi skills stopped but one. The one that developed when all others stopped is what I call clairsentience, though it may have another, more accurate label, I honestly don't know. The word "Gnosis" comes to mind as I write this, so perhaps that's what I mean. It's the awakening to understanding from inside, not through seeing or visualizing, obe or astral travel or remote viewing, or using any mental faculty... but from becoming the knowing, as best as I can explain it. Putting on a question, basically, and becoming the knower of it and its answer entirely, intimately, from within, with no outer stimuli required. As a means of increasing awareness, it's a doozey.

Cruising the Rings
The first inner layer or ring was clear and more distinct from my nonphysical
perspective, and all seemed to be completely focused on the
activities of the in-human physical condition. Any attempts to communicate
or divert their attention were met with total unawareness at the least
and, at the most, bewilderment, fear, or outright hostility. All were attempting
to participate in physical life in one way or another with no
success whatsoever. All seemed to have one common characteristic. They
were completely unaware of any existence other than physical. Only
through repeated observation at first hand was it possible to generally sort
out and classify such near-earth humans into some semblance of order.
The Dreamers: This group has a distinctive vibration or radiation that
indicates they are attached to a physical body somewhere in the current
earth time-space. This infers but does not verify that they may be in an
out-of-body state during sleep. They apparently are attempting to continue
the activity they have been performing during their physical waking
hours, or those they desire or fantasize. Some are simply going through the
motions; others are trying to talk with those they know who are physically
awake, or eating, drinking, working, playing, trying to perform sexual acts,
acting out Mitty-like roles in the middle of Manhattan—all without fruition;
all, with few exceptions, without any recognition of similar activities
around them. What might be loosely termed evidence of their origin is
that they suddenly "wink out" or disappear in the middle of an action.
Are they awakening in the physical again, out of sleep? Dream analysts
may be on the right track but with the wrong perspective.
The Locked-Ins: These are very similar to the previous category, and
might be confused with them initially but for several key differences. This
group is composed solely of those who have permanently exited their
current physical body—dead physically but don't know it. Consequently,
they are trying constantly to continue a physical existence to which they
have become habituated. They often remain around physical locations,
such as houses, and physically living persons to whom they have become
attached. Some continue to attempt reentry into their dead physical bodies
and to reactivate them, even into the grave—which may give credence
to the strange radiation effects sometimes perceived in cemeteries. The
anguish these must go through as they witness the cremation of their
physical remains is certainly something to ponder.
As with the Dreamers, this group is totally and compulsively bonded to
time-space materiality. Moreover, they appear to be deep into enveloping
emotionally based fears and drives which they attempt to act out but
never conclude. As a group, they are the major blockage in the flow of the
human learning experience. Until they are reached and assisted or some
glimmer of awareness occurs, they remain in this locked-in state for years,
perhaps centuries. Their numbers increase constantly and will continue to
do so as long as the physical human values that generate the condition
remain unchanged.
The Wild Ones: Much lesser in number than the above but with the
same motivating drives expressed in an entirely different manner. The
reason is a slight shift in awareness. The Wild Ones do not realize they
have lost the use of their physical bodies, and they do not perceive anything
other than physical matter reality. However, they are very much
aware that they are somehow different. They don't understand the whys
or hows of it and have no desire to learn. All they realize is that such
difference releases them from all of the restraints, obligations, and commitments
that were a part of their physical lives. They construe this as
absolute freedom and attempt to express themselves accordingly in the
only way they know of—through replicas of physical activity. Thus their
efforts to participate in physical human life—which they perceive as taking
place all around them—take on many bizarre forms. The previously
reported visit to the human sexual pile is a sample. There are implications
that whenever a human physical consciousness in waking form becomes
"loose" or shaky for whatever reason, it may provide an opportunity for
one of these to "piggyback" just for the experience of it. The frequency of
such incidents is not known, from my present perspective. Hopefully, very
few. They can get mean at times.
There was much to be learned from these inner rings, most of it the
hard way if your perspective is still heavily encased in human time-space
illusions. It is pointless to recount the many attempted contacts with the
inhabitants therein. You can do it yourself without bothering to enter the
OOBE state. Interview and observe a cross section group of humans now
living in any large city. The resulting data will be a restrained version and
much easier to handle. The source of such preoccupation in every case
seems to be extreme distortions of the original survival imprint.
Evidently there are methods by which rescues are achieved individually
and on a relatively large scale—and the process is ongoing. I personally
have been involved in only one or two that I can remember, and I am not
particularly proud of my efforts. I did learn one or two minor items. First,
awareness of the cacophony of discordant, undirected radiation engendered
by human thought—identified as M Band noise (my label). Second,
how to close down my perception to bring it to tolerable levels. The
necessity syndrome again. It's a nice trick to have, even in the physical
waking state.
The next ring outward is fairly straightforward. It is composed of those
who do realize they are no longer in physical human life, but have no
awareness or memory of any other possibility. Often they are stunned by
the loss, and do no more than remain in a motionless, nonperceiving
passive state, as if waiting for something to take place. They are usually
easy to contact, instruct, and lead to a suitable outer ring. The population
here is small, relatively, and remains more or less static due to the assistance
supplied by the outer rings.
Moving outward, the next ring is the largest of all, and contains an
apparently limitless number of sub-rings. However, they all come under a
strong general category: At least, all residents here know they have passed
through physical death. There may be vagueness and differing beliefs as to
what and where they are at this point; hence the often sharply delineated
sub-rings. Within this ring, approximately through the center, there exists
what might be labeled a null point of a different variety yet quite perceivable
from an external perspective. It is generated by the existence of two
symbolized energy fields overlapping and exerting near-equal pressure/
influence without interaction between the two. There are no standing
waves set up by frequencies beating against each other, for the two fields
are not compatible. The analogy of a bar magnet with positive and negative
fields meeting at the center of the bar does not apply. It would be
better to picture a gravity field exerting attraction in one direction and the
action of a sitcom on television in another.
On the inner side of such null point, the dominant force is HTSI, short
for Human Time-Space Illusion, strongest at the innermost sub-rings and
lessening inversely throughout the entire ring until it is quite insignificant
on the outer edge. On the outer side of the ring, the dominant force is
NPR, or Nonphysical Reality, which is as general as one can get if there is
no accurate translation available for the little that is known of it. A mirror
image in field strength, the NPR effect is greatest at the outermost edge,
diminishing slowly to the null point, then exponentially to the inner edge
of the ring.
The pattern of human passage through this particular ring is most fascinating,
again from the external view. It is composed of energy in human
experiential form moving in two directions, both inward and outward. The
inward flow is composed of fresh energy from the NPR area first encountering
the HTSI field, becoming more and more attracted by it through a
series of in-human existences, passing through this particular ring more
rapidly once the null point is crossed. From that point inward, the movement
accelerates to the inner edge of the ring and through it, terminating
usually in the lowest of the inner rings.
The outward flow, after release from or skirting the innermost rings,
commences the haphazard-seeming yet meticulous path through this largest
of rings. For some, the passage is relatively direct, with but a few inhuman
physical existences to provide the impetus. Others—the great majority—
require up to several hundred in-human lifetimes and thousands of
earth year cycles to complete the process. The reasons for this wide discrepancy
are not obvious to me. However, one characteristic of the more
direct route appears to be the careful selection of in-human life experiences,
plus accomplishments in the face of what might be termed statistically
impossible odds. The two routes both emerge at the outer edge of
the ring and lead to the outermost ring.
The single outermost ring is composed solely of those who are preparing
for their final in-human experience—the Last-Timers, or Seniors, whichever
suits your perspective. They have lost their gray appearance and
much of their humanoid form; they are nearly white in radiation with
occasional sparkling patterns around them. They are tightly closed, and do
not respond to any communication attempts except possibly among themselves.
It is difficult to observe their final reentry into human experience.
It is either too rapid or instantaneous. Their exit from the final cycle is
represented by a sparkling glowing light which moves rapidly outward
through the rings, with occasional pauses for some unknown reason. Upon
passing this outermost ring, they suddenly disappear from perception,
leaving no residual image or trace.
In some respects, the entire process resembles crudely the cycle of an
innocent coping with an addictive drug or chemical such as alcohol. The
first taste is scarcely palatable, but the effect is interesting, something new.
When the opportunity arises, the neophyte takes two drinks just to see if
the effect is enhanced—and it is. Uncontrolled, the pattern is all too
familiar, all the way down to skid row. Nothing is more important to the
wino, nothing occupies his thinking other than where the next shot or hit
is coming from. Near-total amnesia is common, and more significantly, a
lack of desire to change. He has forgotten who he is and couldn't care less.
Reclamation and remembering is a slow and sometimes painful charade.
Once achieved, however, the innocent has transformed into a state of
being far different from the original first-taster. Where the analogy does
not match: In the human life experience sequence, the change is permanent.

Their exit from the final cycle is
represented by a sparkling glowing light which moves rapidly outward

Building Escape Velocity Energy
It will begin to generate automatically as the result of the human learning
experience, more than enough to achieve a tangent to your previous
orbit when you graduate. It is the understanding that the actions suggested
here may help in such production. Then no longer will you reflect
and transform the Prime Energy as in the past, but create it in and of your
own and radiate it in all ways, in all forms—call it loosh/love or whatever
label fits—without need for subject or object.

GO TOWARD THE LIGHT...

Unfortunately, it has been my personal experience that many psychics do not believe in GOD, they believe in a hodge-podge, a kind of astral fugue state where anything and everything goes. It is impossible to ground yourself in the astral because the astral is free floating emotional charge and psychic energy! Anyone trying to take up residence there from 3-D will find themselves insane!

That last bit which I've separated out says to me that eventually you are able to bypass the astral after death and go on to the next level.

Monroe describes it as:

Hmmmm, I take it that you believe in God, then?...
