Nocturnal Adventures
by Owen Waters
Other than a few remembered dreams, our nighttime slumbers
seem to be one big twilight zone of consciousness where nothing
much happens at all.
Nothing could be further from the truth!
A curtain of forgetfulness is drawn across our consciousness
each time we awake from sleep. What really happens at night is
actually more vivid, more alive, and more real than anything
that happens during the day in the physical world.
At night, we travel in a more subtle world than the physical
one. Human consciousness has many 'bodies,' or shells of
consciousness, each of which functions at a different level of
awareness. The more dense bodies used by each human being
are the physical body, its etheric energy counterpart, and the
astral or spirit body. The less dense ones begin with the soul
'body,' which is a nonphysical field of consciousness that
exists beyond the limitations of time and space, and then go on
up the frequency scale of consciousness from there.
To understand where these bodies fit into the grand scale of
universal consciousness, realize that there are 12 density
layers of consciousness. Some people refer to the different
density layers as 'dimensions.' As physical beings today, we
exist in third density and are in the process of transitioning
into fourth density. Fourth density has been traditionally the
home of the spirit realms. It still will be after The Shift to
higher consciousness has been completed, but the spirit realms
will move up to higher sub-layers within fourth density as the
physical realm moves in.
The spirit realms are referred to in the plural as there are
many sub-layers of consciousness within fourth density. The
spirit or astral realms are also known as the afterlife. They
vary from the lower astral realms, through the highly-populated
middle realms, and on into the higher astral realms or heavens.
When you eventually pass on from the physical realm, as we all
do eventually, you will find yourself located in the exact
spirit realm that corresponds to your normal frequency of
consciousness. If you have strong issues to resolve, they will
hold you back a little until you have worked through them by a
process of integration. The whole experience of the afterlife
is dedicated to the integration of whatever issues of
separation were generated during a person's physical lifetime.
If they became polarized against a particular person, i.e. grew
to hate them, then they will learn to see the situation from a
higher perspective and heal that issue of separation through
the forgiveness of themselves and the other person. Then, as
the healing of any issues occurs, they rise higher in
consciousness within the spirit world.
The mentality of 3D (the third density physical world) is
SEPARATIVE in nature and 4D (the fourth density spirit world)
is INTEGRATIVE, or healing, in nature. 3D resonates to the
human solar plexus energy center, with its mental development
and its competitive nature, while 4D resonates to the heart.
The higher aspect of heart consciousness is the first stage of
spiritual awareness. It is here that, as a principle, the good
of the many is recognized as being more important than
immediate benefits to the self. This leads to a sense of
service where the person wants to help ensure that the best is
available to everyone.
This is the foundation of a society which is supportive rather
than competitive. In such a society there really is more for
everyone; much more, because the energy that was spent in
competition against others is now funneled into productive
work.
At night, when you leave the awareness of your physical body
behind, it is not because your brain has shut down for the
night. It is because your attention has shifted into your
spirit body. Your spirit body rises out of your physical body
and prepares to begin your nocturnal adventures.
Next week, we'll take a tour of the spirit world and see what
options you have for the best of nocturnal adventures. And,
we'll go on to discuss how to develop better dreamtime recall
so that you can remember those adventures.
