MONTHLY MESSAGES  FROM THE PASSAGE 

.

Until a few years ago, I posted short articles each month on a variety of topics that centred on themes in Elysium's Passage novel series. I intend to continue this, but I'll likely only have time for one or two articles per month, down from the four I used to include each month up to 2022. At the time, I named them Daily Messages, but they were actually weekly messages that I released each month.

If you enjoy this or any other post on this blog site, please pass the links to anyone you think may be interested, since I've created these blog posts to help promote the ELYSIUM'S PASSAGE novel series. You may find all the blog links in this post.

Btw, the mountain picture is from near the peak of Mount Kidd, which I climbed a few years ago. I included this photo because it reminded me of a passage.

Waiting for 3i Atlas..... coming any day now

I haven't had time to write the article I intended for this month regarding esoteric speculations of what 3i Atlas might do, because of recovering from eye surgery. However, I thought I'd say a few things regarding my August post and what happened after my happy midnight 'encounter'. See my August post below.

It's been over three months now.

For most of the last year, Sept '24, I have been ill but did not know what the problem was. The many tests I had didn't yield any clues. I had to sleep through up to 15 hours a day and could only walk slowly, feeling persistent flu symptoms. Now, however, since July 30 I have completely recovered from my health issues. Maybe it was the flash or maybe just a coincidence, but it happened immediately after I got home that night. My body was buzzing so much I couldn't sleep until sometime after 3 AM, after I took half a glass of rum to knock me out.

Further to that, I sleep only about 6 hours a night, fully awake by 5 AM far down from my customary 8+ hours. For the last year I've been walking at a very slow pace because I didn't have the energy. Now, over the last few months, I'm going full tilt on my daily walks, often without realising it. I'm even thinking about taking up jogging again, although it will soon be winter. 

My diet has changed and have no desire for alcohol and only had one beer since, only because it was given to. I used to have several drinks each week; wine, beer, or run I have a craving for salads, don't go fast food anymore. All my meals are light and balanced. I never turn the radio on, even in my vehicle, not because I don't like music, I just don't think about it. I'm not married or in a relationship and have become a bit of a social recluse, forgoing social gathers. Yet, my life feels very rich each day doing simple things like writing, watching quality video docs and podcasts, meditation and nature walks. What a fun guy to hang out with, eh? I couldn't get a date if I tired.... but then, why try? 

I'm not sure how long all this austerity programme will hold, but it feels great to be 100% healthy again after being ill for almost a year. It seems that light ray might have done the trick, at least up to now. Somehow, I don't think this will be the end of my surprises... I'll keep you informed. About 10 years ago, I have that voice in the night while camping along in the mountains. See my post: 'Voice in the Night'  https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/all-and-nothing 

And then, there were all those orb sightenings I was getting for a few years... but none since. Anyway, I'll take whatever comes my way. https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/enlightened f

Strange stuff... hopefully it holds. 

That's it for now... think I'll take a jog down the street with my new light-body. (ha)

CREATION, EVOLUTION AND 3-I ATLAS

.

Esse est Percipi: To be is to be perceived

George Berkeley, Philosopher, 1685-1753

.

What you are perceiving... is perceiving you

3i Atlas, 2025

.

Atlas defies explanation on nearly every level.

In addition to what I wrote last month, I have identified more abnormalities and expanded on some.

Though this mystery rock is not alive in the biological sense, it seems to be braided with vibrational intelligence that reacts to harmonic fields and awakens resonance memory within those who are ready. Perhaps even more interestingly, it appears to be broadcasting a neutral, intelligent lattice-wide frequency pulse. 

At this point, everything is speculative, but many intuitives and remote viewers are receiving messages that it's about to establish a new matrix to upstep humanity's conscious capacity beyond its third-dimensional limitations, making it possible to enter into a frequency commensurate with our galactic neighbours.

Perhaps this means a sorting of frequencies where humanity will naturally bifurcate into resonance groups, with some drawn inexplicably to certain people while others feel incompatible, like the Bible's allusion to sheep and goats. Those in love and light, in service to others and those in fear and darkness, in service to self. (Mathew 25:31-46); much like we observe throughout the world. Such dividing would be in keeping with many ancient prophecies from all over the Earth.

If 3i Atlas is not just an asteroid but a multi-dimensional sentient mothership, then it could be a major game-changer for the Earth, requiring a significant retrofit and upgrade of our DNA. What if it had a signal that could activate our mostly dormant strands, at least for those receptive to a photonic infusion of multidimensional chromosomes? At least that's what happens in the Sci-fi trilogy I'm writing. (I'm hoping to complete this series before it's no longer fiction but is already fact.)

So, here's something to consider: what if 3i Atlas became integrated into our solar system's orbit to tinker around with its planets… why not? Then, maybe, if it's benevolent, it could become a permanent fixture to enrich our spiritual and physical lives. At least, that’s the story coming to us through many channelled off-worlders, allegedly. I hope they're right. For fun, I've included a couple of transmissions from 'off-worlder' sources: Whether you think these videos are out of the Twilight Zone, they are intriguing and make you think, if nothing else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMDIeM6uX_8

 
   

Here's an excerpt from the above Pleiadian transmission:

"The federationship is positioning itself to enhance and direct this naturally occurring cosmic event, acting like a focusing lens for energies that would otherwise be too dispersed for humanity to integrate effectively. This cosmic engineering is on a scale beyond current scientific understanding. The light streaming from 3I Atlas directly interferes with and helps collapse these lower frequency grids. It acts like a divine override signal, gradually scrambling the transmissions of the old matrix. Since entering your Solar System, the federationship has been broadcasting preparatory frequencies, gradually adjusting human DNA to manage the upcoming consciousness upgrade. Those experiencing the strongest symptoms are the most sensitive systems upgrading fastest, ready to be the first wave of fully activated humans capable of interfacing directly with fifth-dimensional consciousness."

Regardless of what you think of this transmission, maybe all of life, along with all the DNA blueprints, was imported by galactic beings who homesteaded here and, yes, evolving or devolving to become the charming, albeit flawed, homo sapiens we are. But really, why couldn't life on this planet have begun by Intelligent Design, not by spontaneous generation… which is ridiculously impossible (even if that's what they teach in universities). In studying ancient texts, including the Bible's Old Testament, much has been written and inferred about this possibility and other types of human (godlike) species (ie Nephilim and Elohim).

If this were true, it would solve the Creation vs Evolution debate with this third option. Yes, creation, and yes, evolution, but not in the way we think. Not even close

Ever since I had my encounter with my big, beautiful spacecraft on July 30, I'm more open than ever to the possibility that some big, big things are coming soon to our planet. Read my August post. I got a flash in my van at midnight somewhere out in the middle of nowhere. Then I saw it… and its good vibe kept me up after I got home… feeling happy and buzzed until 3 AM.

Anyway, that's just me… here are some recent updates on 3i Atlas and all the intrigue surrounding it, including worldwide government suppression of information. What are they afraid of? What are they hiding? Hang on, things are about to get crazy.

Atlas’s reflectivity resembles polished metal. Natural objects like asteroids have rough, uneven surfaces scarred by cosmic collisions. The Webb Space Telescope confirmed that light reflects off Atlas in ways suggesting smoothness, regularity, and precision—qualities not typical for natural bodies.

Furthermore, natural objects tumble, wobble, and spin irregularly, like a coin rolling to a stop. Atlas, however, keeps its face oriented toward us consistently. Its brightness remains steady, locked in a mechanical rhythm, with timing that does not vary, as though it were a machine aware of which side to present.

The image shows structural symmetry around the core, with precise 120° angles resembling hexagonal geometry—something that does not belong in a chaotic natural rock drifting through space. Scientists at the European Southern Observatory described it off the record as mechanical in nature.

A comet’s tail is supposed to flow away from the Sun, driven by solar radiation—a fundamental law of physics. Until now, 3I Atlas has defied this principle, its tail flowing directly toward the Sun, breaking every known physical model. Early hypotheses suggested extreme anisotropic dust jets, but simulations ruled that out due to the symmetrical tail pattern. In other words, it appears backwards; there is no long comet tail at the back, but its effusion is at the front like headlights in a fog.

It has a concentrated beam that emits light from what appears to be its sun-facing side—not a diffuse reflection or solar flare, but a focused projection. This beam cuts sharply through space, contrasting with the usual hazy glow around cometary objects.

 The tail appears to emit in pulsed intervals, almost like bursts synchronised with the object’s 16-hour rotation. These intervals show thermal spikes followed by drops, aligning with artificial propulsion cycles rather than natural gas venting.

The tail contains reflective particles that mirror solar wavelengths instead of absorbing them like typical comet dust. In other words, it’s not just reflecting sunlight—it’s manipulating it. Could this be some form of solar sail or radiation-based steering?

Speeding through the Solar System at 152,000 miles per hour, this is nearly five times faster than any previously observed visitor in our cosmic neighbourhood. For comparison, meteorites, asteroids, and comets travel at about 1,000 miles per hour; this object is in a completely different league.

It is at least 1,000 times more massive than any comet observed before, with recent studies estimating its mass to exceed 33 billion tons.

Tracing its orbit, scientists realized it did not originate from the asteroid belt or the Kuiper Belt; instead, Atlas emerged from the vast, starless space between stellar systems.

While randomness exists in the cosmos, 3I Atlas’s path through our Solar System is anything but random. After entering from above the ecliptic plane, it takes a slingshot tour of Mars, Venus, and Jupiter, almost mimicking trajectories NASA designs for deep space missions. However, this object isn’t slowing down; it’s accelerating. Its route is mathematically ideal for dropping observation units or probes at multiple planets without altering course—a kind of orbital planning no stranger to controversy. Some suggest this might be a gravity assist chain, like those used by Voyager spacecraft, to conserve fuel, with the probability of such a trajectory occurring by chance being less than one in a billion. 

3I Atlas's trajectory aligns with the ecliptic plane—the same flat plane where all the planets orbit the Sun. The odds of that happening have been estimated at 1 in 20,000. Of course, that’s just one anomaly. If you combine that with the scores of the others, the odds are beyond possibility.

As if that weren’t strange enough, the object will vanish behind the Sun precisely at its brightest and most active phase—exactly when Earth’s telescopes cannot observe it. It’s as if it wants to remain hidden.

When Webb’s thermal imaging targeted Atlas, scientists expected to see the usual patchwork of hot and cold as surfaces rotated in and out of sunlight. Instead, one hemisphere stayed consistently warmer than the other, suggesting either that Atlas generates its own internal heat—something no natural comet should do—or it has a method of thermal management, like a spacecraft with radiators balancing heat across its surface.

Spectroscopic analysis stunned researchers further: instead of the water vapour typical of comets, Atlas emits carbon dioxide in quantities ten times greater than water. Its metals are unusual too; nickel dominates outgassing, while iron is nearly absent—the opposite of every comet studied before. Moreover, the carbon compounds detected are not simple organics but structured molecules resembling those associated with biology or non-random chemistry.

Density readings suggest Atlas contains cavities or hollow regions, unlike natural objects that form by clumping into solid rock. Hollow interiors are rare and usually fleeting, yet Atlas seems designed that way.

Atlas is non-gravitationally accelerating with subtle nudges that cannot be explained by gas jets, as there is no visible exhaust or plume. Yet instruments confirm its speed shifts, orientation adjustments,

Spectra reveal surface compounds unknown to our catalogues: organised carbon structures suggesting design, surface features with geometric angles and symmetry, temperature distributions too stable to be natural, density variations indicating hollow interiors, and subtle electromagnetic activity producing non-random noise and patterned signals that unsettle scientists.

Of many conventional astrophysicists and astronomers who shrug it all off and dismiss 3i Atlas as just another comet, maybe it's because they have no answers for questions that defy everything they believed about life and the universe.

In fact, Professor Avi Loeb, esteemed astrophysicist and Harvard professor, has argued that those who firmly believe 3I Atlas is merely an ordinary, naturally formed comet should be responsible for explaining all these unusual coincidences through purely natural processes. Unfortunately, it seems most are too lazy to make the effort. It's easier just to dismiss what they can't explain.

 

WHAT ARE THEY HIDING, WHAT DO THEY NOT WANT US TO KNOW

 

Normally, findings like these would be shared openly, but this time something unusual happened: NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, known for transparency, suddenly restricted access. Observing schedules disappeared, data requests were denied or heavily redacted, and the European Space Agency followed suit. The international response raises obvious questions.

Diplomatic cables leaked by whistleblowers revealed that the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs held an unscheduled closed-door meeting with delegates from the five major space-faring nations. The topic: an unidentified technological object of interstellar origin. Russia, China, the United States, the European Union, and international bodies all agreed to a joint silence protocol, withholding any future disclosures unless unanimous. In other words, this is not just a scientific anomaly; it’s a geopolitical chess game unfolding around a cosmic visitor. When the world’s most powerful nations stop competing for data and choose secrecy, something very significant is being concealed. 

This leaves us with two astonishing possibilities: either governments have discovered something so profound they believe humanity is not ready to know it, or they fear the consequences of misinterpretation. The signal—a burst of radio power strong enough to reach antennas worldwide—if real, cannot yet be dismissed. Atlas is not merely reflecting light passively; it appears capable of communication. The question remains: is it communicating with us, someone else, or with systems beyond our understanding?

We may be on the brink of contact with intelligence beyond Earth. Consider what this means: for the first time in human history, the universe might not be just a stage for aimless wandering. We may not be alone, and we may not even be the observers. We might be the observed. Every telescope we point outward, every probe we launch, every broadcast we send may not disappear into emptiness but instead be received, analysed, and answered. Atlas is a mirror forcing us to see ourselves as a species under scrutiny, and that is unsettling—but also thrilling.

Originally, I was going to write more on the topic of Evolution and Creation in light of Atlas, and I still like to integrate these ideas more fully in another post.

Meanwhile, there are many videos on the topic of 3i Atlas, and as it approaches the December solstice, I'm sure there will be scores more in the coming weeks.

Here are some new 3i Atlas documentaries since last month.

COMING TO EARTH SOON

3i-ATLAS

(BE SURE TO WATCH FOR IT)

.

.

.

 

Look to the skies not only for planets or distant stars but also for the strange, the unexplained, and the anomalies that defy the rules. The James Webb Space Telescope was designed precisely for this—to cut through the universe's noise and reveal what hides in the darkness. Yet, nothing could have prepared us for this latest discovery. During a routine observation on July 1, scientists observed something unexpected: not reflected sunlight or cosmic dust scattering photons, but rather, artificial light—a glow so precise and controlled it appeared to emanate from within the object itself.

We now identify that object as 3i Atlas. At first detected as a faint, solitary speck on the outer edge of the Solar System, its trajectory is now unlike anything native to our neighbourhood, crossing the void between stars, now drifting closer like a silent messenger. Scientists initially expected another tumbling rock comet, but early images revealed something unusual; the object was too bright for its estimated size, its brightness did not match its physical dimensions of about 28 miles across, nor did its composition. Unlike typical comets, its brightness never flickered, dimmed, or flared like comets do when releasing gas and dust.

Telescopes worldwide turned their gaze to it, including the James Webb, humanity’s most advanced space observatory. The object's light remained eerily consistent, as if it were not reflecting sunlight but shining with its own source. Webb, stationed a million miles from Earth at its launch point, was designed to see the unseen. Its instruments detect both heat and light, and what they found shocked the scientific community. The object wasn't just reflecting sunlight; it emitted its own thermal signature, centralized and radiating outward from its core. Natural objects do not behave this way. A comet shines because sunlight bounces off its icy surface, but this object glowed like a machine switched on.

Thermal mapping has revealed an even more unsettling detail: the heat was unevenly distributed, pulsing faintly and irregularly, almost like a heartbeat. The possibility arose that this pulse was not random but cycled in subtle intervals, suggesting it might be more than a natural object. Theories began to emerge from NASA, ESA, and leading astrophysics institutes. Could this be radioactive decay from exotic elements, subsurface friction from its journey, or the presence of alien isotopes? None of these explanations fits into conventional astronomy. Its rotation was too stable, and the lack of a cometary tail seemed deliberate, as though something shielded it from solar radiation.

Then comes the most disturbing finding: its surface reflectivity, or albedo, is near perfect in places—not like ice or dust, but like polished metal. This is not just a rock; rather, it appears to have been intentionally engineered. Perhaps, most enigmatically, is the evidence of its light coming from itself rather than reflecting from our Sun. Photometric analysis revealed that the 3i Atlas did not broadly reflect light like a natural object, but rather emitted light in a narrow, controlled band of wavelengths, similar to how communication lasers operate. Even that band contained frequencies used in our own communication and guidance systems. As the Sun’s radiation shifts, the light output from the object shifts in response, as if an onboard system is adjusting it. It does not flicker randomly but pulsates in a pattern barely beyond human recognition.

Some astronomers suggested it might be broadcasting, or even listening. The universe does not waste energy without reason. Analysts have filtered the signal, cross-checked it with every known natural source of electromagnetic activity—pulsars, quasars, cosmic ray bursts, even the cosmic microwave background—but it still refuses to match natural comet activity.

In fact, teams from MIT and Harvard have run Fourier transforms and other mathematical analyses to find hidden patterns. Beneath the apparent randomness is a repeating pulse—not the kind a natural object would emit, not the slow, steady beat of a pulsar or the decaying hum of a black hole’s accretion disc, but something far more deliberate. The intervals were precise, repeating in near-perfect cycles with just enough variation to avoid being purely mechanical, as if someone had woven a whisper into the noise, hiding meaning in the chaos. It is no accidental emission; it seems a deliberate signal.

As of now, the scientific community appears to be divided in its efforts to determine what’s happening. The regular, 'move along; nothing to see here 'type of scientists are calling it a cosmic lighthouse, sweeping across space, as with our two recent interstellar visitors, 'Oumuamua and Borisov, which behaved themselves and acted as comets are expected to behave: big rocks tumbling their way through the cosmos. Other scientists, such as Harvard astrophysicist Dr Aviv Loeb, are more open to alternative explanations, suggesting it might be a form of interstellar telemetry sending information back to its origin.

What seems to disturb everyone is not just the presence of the signal but its consistency. Since the first day James Webb detected it, the pulse had never changed—not in frequency, amplitude, or rhythm. That implies intent. If this were a natural phenomenon, the radiation should have caused decay, with the signal drifting or weakened as it tumbled through the Solar System. Instead, it remains steady, as if designed to do exactly that.

Some researchers have quietly proposed a disturbing hypothesis: what if this signal wasn’t just broadcasting but listening? If true, this meant that 3i Atlas is an active participant in space, sending and perhaps receiving information in real-time. The pulse is no longer random background noise; it has become something far more unsettling: the first potential evidence of a conversation taking place. Whatever 3i Atlas is, it doesn’t seem passive; as if doing something deliberate while self-correcting its course through the solar system.

 Then something big recently happened that shouldn’t have been possible, sending shockwaves through every observatory on Earth. In less than two minutes, 3i Atlas erupted in a violent surge of light, its brightness increasing by nearly 40% in a spike so sudden and unnatural that no known cometary process could explain it. Natural outgassing causes gradual changes, not explosive flares of perfect symmetry. This was not the erratic flicker of ice reflecting sunlight; it was precise, almost surgical, as if a hidden mechanism deep inside the object had just powered on.

The James Webb telescope’s thermal instruments recorded a simultaneous shift in heat signature, as though the entire object had momentarily energized, its temperature rising like a machine warming up. Scientists described it as witnessing a stone suddenly take a breath. The timing was uncanny, almost theatrical—the flare occurred exactly as the object crossed a particular threshold in the Solar System, as if responding to an invisible tripwire.  This was no passive lump of interstellar rock, no mere relic of a distant star system wandering aimlessly through our neighbourhood. Something inside had chosen that precise moment to reveal itself—or perhaps to test something. The idea that we might have triggered this reaction simply by observing it, by pinging it with radar, by shining our attention on it, began to spread rapidly. Was it signalling back? Was it scanning us? Or was this simply its way of saying, “We see you too”? The flare did not last long; just as suddenly as it began, it faded, leaving behind a quieter, steadier glow. But something fundamental had changed—its energy profile was no longer the same. Whatever 3i Atlas had done in those minutes, it left the object suddenly different, its thermal signature permanently elevated, as if some dormant system had awakened and was now running silently in the background.

It seems humanity is no longer looking at a passive traveller from the stars; rather, we were staring at something alive with intent as if it had just turned its gaze back toward us. Days after the flare, astronomers began to notice something that turned quiet unease into a global shiver; 3i Atlas was no longer where it was supposed to be. Its predicted orbit, carefully plotted using Newtonian mechanics and refined by AI-powered simulations, began to drift from expectation—first by fractions of a degree, then by measurable natural distances as it aligned itself more neatly with the paths of the inner planets as if correcting its navigation. Inanimate objects cannot decide to move, yet 3i Atlas seemed to have done just that, like a spacecraft making a mid-course correction. Even more unnerving, the adjustment didn’t seem to bring it toward a random destination; it appeared to be guiding itself into a position that would give it a closer pass, not just by the Sun but by us on planet Earth.

 Analysts noticed its new trajectory would now skim just inside Earth’s orbital neighbourhood, too close to ignore. Is it manoeuvring for a flyby, a survey, a rendezvous? The possibility that this object wasn’t just active but aware is beginning to dominate private scientific discussions. Perhaps most disturbing of all, the timing of the trajectory change was exact—it occurred just hours after the flare event, almost as if one had triggered the other. Whatever had awakened inside 3i Atlas was not passive; it had seen something, calculated something, and then adjusted its path with eerie precision.

Humanity is now forced, for the first time, to confront the chilling possibility that something in deep space had not only noticed us but was now moving closer—on purpose. As the object grew nearer, the Webb and Hubble spectroscopic instruments began to reveal an even stranger picture. Its surface wasn’t just shiny; it contained highly reflective alloys and rare earth elements. Most shocking of all were spectral absorption lines that didn’t match anything in our periodic table. These weren’t the signatures of ice or stone; they were the fingerprints of something engineered or at least synthesized under conditions humanity had never replicated.

One compound matched a theoretical quantum material thought to exist only under extreme magnetic confinement. If true, this object was either unimaginably old—a relic of a civilisation predating human history—or recently built by an intelligence far beyond our own. One group refused to wait: the SETI Institute. They decided to do what no one else would—they transmitted a focused radio pulse directly at 3i Atlas, a cosmic handshake. The message contained universal mathematical constants, the periodic table, and simple diagrams of humanity.

It was a cautious hello, a question cast into the void. Days passed with no response. Then, on the third day, one of SETI’s monitoring stations in Chile received a return pulse—a narrow-band signal, distorted but unmistakably timed to arrive exactly 70.2 hours after the transmission. It wasn’t an echo or random scatter; it was processed and sent back.

The trajectory is perfectly aligned with the ecliptic plane of the planets around the Sun to within 5 degrees, and the chance of that happening randomly is approximately 1 in 500. The Hubble telescope images from July 21st show a glow around the object but no trailing dust, which is unusual.

This is a fascinating topic that could change the course of human history and our destiny with off-world beings. As I mentioned in my previous post for August, I reported seeing a majestic craft on July 30 around midnight, 30 minutes outside of Calgary. It was spectacular! It still gives me happy vibes that I still feel, and I sense everything is about to change. So I wouldn’t be surprise if we’ll soon be visited this spring, or sooner, by our interdimensional 3i Atlas spacecraft mothership. At 28 miles across, it’s a big mother.

I’m just getting started on this topic, so I’ll discuss more in an in-depth post that will also include some of the more sensational metaphysical implications of 3i Atlas that I’ve distilled from various  ‘out of this world’ sources. Spoiler alert, it’s a new day and a new era… but it’s all good… provided you’re on the good side.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
                                                                        Hamlet

My blog post this month continues along similar lines to last month's regarding some of the mysteries we are encountering these days. This story is about an experience I had a couple of weeks ago. 

A couple of weeks ago, on Friday night, July 26th, I had a most unusual encounter while driving home from British Columbia, where I saw something I had never seen before.

It was about midnight as I was driving home in light rain, approximately half an hour west of Calgary. As I was approaching the top of a very high hill, there seemed to be a flash of light in my van, similar to when a radar camera.

I looked over my shoulder to see where the flash might have come from. As I turned to look, I noticed out my side window, a large, well-lit golden spacecraft hovering at least a half mile away.

I could hardly believe what I was. I was excited… so excited that I didn’t think to pull over to take a picture. Instead, I continued to keep my eye on it as best I could without driving off the road. I’m not sure, but it seemed it be moving along with me, but then when I got to the top of the hill, I lost sight of it behind the trees.  When I got to the bottom, where there was an overpass, I turned off and got out, phone camera in hand, to see if it had followed me. There was nothing.

I now wish I had gone back to see if it was still there on the other side near the top, but I didn’t.

I would describe the craft as maybe about three stories tall, glowing in the pitch-black sky. I don’t know whether the golden glow came from its lights or emanated from within its luminosity. In any case, the whole craft was visible. I could hardly believe it, yet I wasn’t overly surprised because so many others have experienced sightings like this.

As I reflect on it now, this brief encounter seems almost surreal and dreamlike, but at that moment, it was very real. I now have many questions about what happened. Firstly, as I was driving up the hill, the highest east of the Rocky Mountains, the craft should have been directly in my line of sight since the highway heads northeast. And yet, I didn’t see it.

As I turned eastward while I was going up the hill, I would have been more or less perpendicular to it, or even slightly past it. That’s when the flash of light caused me to look outside my side window, where the craft seemed to be positioned about 20 to 30 degrees higher than me. When I reached the top, it appeared to be roughly the same elevation, but behind the trees, where I could still see a glow. If there had been a median at the top, I would have crossed over and stopped in the parking area to get a better look.

Another question I have is whether the flash of light in my vehicle was caused by lightning in the sky, given that it had been raining for the last hour. If so, I didn’t see any evidence of lightning or hear any thunder. Still, it's possible. However, I’d like to think it was trying to get me to look to the left to see it where they were waving.

I also wonder if they switched their lights on for me to see it after sending the flash into my van, or if they momentarily entered my dimension from interdimensional space. Or maybe I entered into theirs... now that’s getting way out there.

And, no, I wasn’t smoking any weed or drinking anything more than what coffee was still in my cup. Also, I wonder if a driver on the highway would have seen anything if they had been looking in the direction I was looking at the time. Now, that’s an interesting metaphysical question.

I know it may seem silly, but I got a really happy vibe when I saw it, as if there was a connection between us. Why not? Maybe we're old friends from the Pleiadian galaxy... after all, it's only 144 light-years from Earth. (Thank God for space-time portals.) Anyway, I had been driving all day and felt really buzzed but couldn’t fall asleep after I got home, until sometime after three AM and half a glass of rum. Cheers! 

I wonder if this had something to do with the fact I’ve been gathering ideas for my upcoming Sci-fi trilogy by listening to various YouTube sites, such as the Galactic Federation of Light Station and half a dozen more that are supposed to be transmissions from ETs through multiple channelers. So with my head in this ‘space’ figuratively and perhaps literally, who knows what’s going on between us? I’ll keep you informed. Ha! Let’s say this upcoming science fiction series might turn out to be very interesting, with perhaps a lot more sci than fi… or maybe the other way around.

Actually, this was not my first experience with a possible craft in the sky. About three years ago, my son and I saw something as we looked up at the night sky from his backyard in Kelowna. It seems there are a lot of people there who report all kinds of interesting things in the sky. We were looking upwards and saw the usual satellites and occasional meteors, but one stationary light suddenly darted off and quickly disappeared. Who knows where? Still, that was just a light far off in the sky, not a giant spaceship like I just saw.

In conclusion, I’ve been surprised to find how many people have had their own experiences with UFO/UAPS. Interesting! I think over the next couple of years and thereafter, we’ll be seeing and hearing a lot more from our friends in the sky.

Let me add a short postscript. It's now November, over three months since I wrote the above article just after my encounter.. For most of the last year, Sept '24, I have been ill but did not know what the problem was. The many tests I had didn't yield any clues. I had to sleep through up to 15 hours a day and could only walk slowly, feeling persistent flu symptoms. Now, however, since this encounter, I have completely recovered from my health issues. Maybe it was the flash or maybe just a coincidence, but it happened immediately after I got home that night. My body was buzzing so much I couldn't sleep until after 3 AM, after I took half a glass of rum to knock me out.

Anyway, I'll take it. That's it for now... I'm going out for a jog down the street. 

If you have any comments about sightings you’ve experienced that you wish to share, please let me know at nmeyers@shaw.ca
or on my FB page https://www.facebook.com/neil.meyers.  

... I'd like to hear from you.

The last word goes to Ezekiel. 

"Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels." Ezekiel 1:20-21

 CROP CIRCLE INTRIGUE

Crop Circles and AI

These videos will blow your mind

               

And if that doesn't do it for you, perhaps you will want to get it straight from an ET source. So suspend your scepticism for a moment and listen to this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqckTS7ZcgI So, how does this resonate with you? This just came out today, August 31, 2005. I plan to transcribe certain portions of this and will post them later here. Meanwhile, you may watch it at the link below. If nothing else, there is good material in here from my upcoming sci-fi novel series

.           

I posted an article on crop circles several years ago, but thought I'd repost it for readers who may not be aware of what I wrote or the pictures I posted, such as the two above.

https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/crop-circles 

Mysteriously, the circles continue to form throughout the world, typically overnight in the dark. Since no one has come up with a credible 'naturalistic' reason for their foundation, it seems they are now just being shrugged off. However, with new AI quantum computer technology, it is impossible to dismiss, even among the most ardent sceptics

According to my theory, they were created by off-worlders (aliens) either for fun or to make us scratch our heads. But I'm sure there must be more to it than that, even if I don't know why, except to say it might have to do with a heads-up for 'first contact'. Who knows? Perhaps they are connected to the mysterious destruction of the George Guidestones in August 2022. See it happen on YouTube. Then again, maybe not, I can only guess. 

Again, to see more of these circles and designs, and the 'lame' explanations offered over the year for their sudden appearance, go to my post https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/crop-circles 

In my upcoming Sci-Fi trilogy, which I hope to write over the next few years, more will appear around the globe, but always with the same equation code, inscribed with a variety of shapes and designs. The code is what is called the elixir in my sixth novel, THE ELIXIR, which is hopefully to be published by late fall.

Interestingly, I mysteriously received this equation, MXY 23LZ=YZ4 01, over 20 years ago, but I won't disclose more until the appropriate time. Let's just say it will fit in very nicely with the upcoming sci-fi novel plots.

Possibly, this has to do with the 23 DNA strands in the helix and the 01 that make up the multi-dimensional structure, giving the human race 24 in each helix. Book 6 delves further into that theory, where the protagonist receives an implant to become the first extraterrestrial human hybrid... stay tuned.

WE ARE WHAT WE RECEIVE,

WE ARE WHAT WE PROJECT

Quidquid recipitur ad modum recipientis recipitur

What did Thomas Aquinas mean when he stated: "Whatever is received is received according to the nature of the recipient?"

Here’s my take:

We experience and perceive life through the lens of how things appear from where we calibrate on the scale of consciousness. This is not always fixed, but often, where we have settled or become stuck... the resting point from which we currently view life.

To the fearful, all things are fearful. To the joyful, all things are joyful, or at least where life is generally experienced as a joyous and happy experience, even in difficult circumstances. To the jealous, envious, hateful, and obsessed with victimhood, that's generally how life is experienced. To the positive, creative, loving and magnanimous soul, that too, is how life will be experienced. 

As Aquinas suggested, we interpret and receive life's circumstances according to our nature, that being, I submit, our conscious awareness. Not only do we receive, but we also project the essence of our consciousness onto others through our judgments. 

A loving person will receive what’s offered with grace, dignity and love. On the contrary, a self-absorbed person might only do so with an attitude of entitlement, dismissing another's act of kindness as something less than was intended, becoming suspicious of the one who was being kind. For example, a suspicious woman may reject the flowers a man offers her because she assumes he is only doing this to get what she believes he was contriving to obtain in exchange. Such ingrates mirror themselves, seeing others as they see themselves. And so, if that’s how things are received, there can be no gratitude with this attitude.

However, I think there's more to our nature than what Aquinas has indicated. It's not just about receiving, but also about our capacity and desire to become more than the calibration of consciousness we find ourselves. What if we decide to love rather than hate? That changes everything! As long as we live, we can be redeemed to start anew. However, a lifetime of hardened, negative attitudes can become increasingly difficult to change, leaving the soul with little will or capacity to change. Thereby, these souls increasingly lose the ability to evolve into a higher level of consciousness.

For them, I suppose, there might be some dubious satisfaction in maintaining smug prejudices of moral and intellectual superiority. Still, it’s not good if these attitudes shortchange one’s happiness and that of everyone around them. In the extreme, this can lead to a life of dystopia and abusive behaviour. There’s a saying: “Would you rather be right or be happy?” The ego must always be right because being right, not happy, is what it requires for its illusory world.

The contrast of living by the dictates of the ego or the heart remains stark and simple. Anyone of low consciousness, unaware of what’s good, what’s beautiful and of lasting value, will not experience the finer things in life, nor will these be appreciated or tolerated. And so those existing in lower consciousness will default to their element, or, as Aquinas stated, their nature.

The Swedish mystic Emanuel Swedenborg suggests this is why hell exists as a state of being; it is not God’s choosing but rather self-consumed humans dwelling in the distorted consciousness of their choosing, thereby creating everything they are and have willingly become. On this topic, see the blog narrative about Nero and his journey and how he was rescued by a personification of love. Nero: One Helluva Story: https://digitalbloggers.com/book-reviews/one-helleva-story

We all have different tastes in life. For example, some people love classical music, some are into death rock, and a few might like both, but probably not many. Each expression has its own calibration of consciousness from highest to lowest, from shame to enlightenment. What a person identifies with is how we can tell where they calibrate on the scale. Of course, tastes can change, especially with maturity, and with it, our nature may change for better or worse. We welcome and delight in whatever aligns with the nature (consciousness) of our souls, and so are drawn to it. 

With regard to this scale of conscious, we may see how it accounts for the differences in how all things “are received according to the nature of the recipient.” Or as is stated in the proverb: “As a man thinketh, so is he.” (Proverbs 23:7). This idea was also succinctly stated by Anais Nin: “We receive things not as they are but as we are.” In any case, each expression of life has a unique calibration of consciousness, which can be tested and measured by anyone calibrating on the positive side of the fulcrum over 200.

Based on Dr David Hawkins’ research, how we perceive life and react to all expressions, things and events in life according to where we calibrate on the scale: high, low or somewhere between. To understand more about this topic and how levels of consciousness can be measured using muscle testing techniques, refer to these posts:

https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/calibrating-consciousness  
https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/how-conscious-are-you  

The calibrations of consciousness are represented on a scale of 1 to 1,000, which one might think of as frequencies of awareness progressing from the lower rungs of shame, guilt, hate, anger, etc., to the pivotal demarcation from negative to positive qualities at 200, beginning with courage. Midway up the scale, at 500, is love; then, enlightenment, at 700 to 1,000, which is all that is humanly possible.

For this reason, one dwelling in the lower below 200 will perceive life much differently than someone who dwells in love above 500. People, places, and events, for example, are perceived and interpreted according to their calibration or, as Aquinas would say, their nature by which life is filtered through our partial understanding and prejudices.

However, none of these calibrations are fixed since one may evolve higher or devolve lower according to life choices. For many, a religious epiphany might change everything. Nevertheless, it seems that for most, there is a set point where the human consciousness settles, finding its calibrated level, more or less, that represents what one has become due to life’s circumstances, environment, experiences, and habitual attitudes towards life and others.

For example, Mohammed had a much different calibration from before he wrote the Koran than when he later ordered the brutal beheading, genocide and slavery of many Jews in Medina, Arabia, in 627 AD. We can confirm, using muscle testing measurements, that, as a result, he diminished from an enlightenment level to far below 200.

In the New Testament, Titus 1:15 states. “To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure... both their minds and consciences are corrupted. (NIV) The upshot of this is that we can easily become compromised by corrupting our inward nature. A thief will see everyone else as thieves because that’s what they are, and so they act accordingly, justifying their nefarious, low-conscious conduct.

By the way, the resting point of one’s consciousness has little or nothing to do with intelligence. In fact, a person who takes pride in their intellectual prowess will likely score below the 200 mark in their distorted judgment of their preferred Weltanschauung (worldview). Ironically, and sadly, this includes many high-IQ intellectuals who fall on the lower end of the conscious scale because their mind’s ego pride and dualistic judgmentalism have got the better of them, which has nothing to do with the higher-calibrating qualities of the heart’s love.

So what do you do when someone judges you, saying all kinds of nasty things that aren’t true? First, understand that their judgment is based on the nature of their character, and so they can’t do otherwise since they don’t have the will or capacity to comprehend what truths may lie beyond their narrow spectrum of prejudices. So, that’s what they do… judge according to where their plumbline hangs on the spectrum of consciousness. Observe how many love to hate the politicians who are outside their tribe.

Also, realize it’s probably all about them and that you make them feel inadequate or cause them to loathe something within themselves. They certainly did that to Jesus, perhaps because they became resentful for not being more like him, living in light and love, while they lived in darkness and fear.

I can think of no better retort than what Lao Tzu allegedly said: "I am not what you think I am. You are what you think I am."

This, of course, is a clever way of saying that those judging us (or others) are projecting the very vices they possess. In other words, they perceive others as they are and therefore project their self-loathing and insecurities, particularly when they envy others’ successes. Of course, few realize the deeper reason for what triggers their judgment, especially when there is a difference in political views and values.

Unfortunately, those who are quick to judge anyone who doesn’t align with their perspectives set themselves up for self-incrimination and diminishment. It’s okay to disagree, but resentment, anger and hate have long-term consequences for the soul. That’s why we are told to love our enemies and do good to those who hate us. As Jesus said, “Judge not, lest you be judged. For with what judgement you judge, you shall be judged, and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again. (Matthew 7:2) By loving, not judging, we sustain our higher vibe of consciousness. As the proverb says, “Guard your heart more than any treasure, for it is the source of all life.”  

By rising above others’ judgment and hate, we respond rather than react, thereby transcending the monkey mind of our ego to raise our consciousness into self-mastery. Then you die; that’s what you take with you, making heaven ever more resplendent because you now have evolved spiritual eyes to see what otherwise couldn’t be seen. If you don’t believe in the afterlife, do it anyway; you’ll be a happier person for it, as will those surrounding you.

So, how do we reset our conscious calibration? It begins with projecting an intention by being grateful for all that comes to mind in your life. To get started, review:

 https://digitalbloggers.com/book-reviews/sowing-happy-seeds-of-gratitude 

When you wake up in the morning, you might say to yourself: "Today, I intend to stay aligned with love and to receive these new energies of joy, peace and love with ease and grace." This beats dwelling in the snake pits of negativity below 200.

Such a simple statement can help calibrate your mind toward the positive and assist you in flowing with the day's energy rather than against it. Throughout the day, practice self-compassion; if old fears or negative thoughts arise, address them with love instead of pushing them away as you shed layers of old conditioning.

Creative expression is another powerful tool for transformation integration, whether through art, music, writing, or any hobby that puts you in a flow state, as it allows your energy to move freely.

Every thought you have and every intention you set is an energy projection that resonates throughout the fabric of reality. Many of our old projections were unconscious, stemming from fear, doubt, and inherited beliefs from a divided world. But now, by directing the light of consciousness with intention and creativity, we awaken the clarity of our soul rather than the confusion of the small ego self, reclaiming our mastery over what we project.

By doing so, we become more of what we are designed to be as we elevate the world to a higher level of consciousness, rather than wallowing in the misery of fear, anger, hate, envy, and suspicion, which still remain in the lower 200s.In this new, higher consciousness, manifestations accelerate where the gap between projection and its physical expressions becomes increasingly shorter as we elevate our frequency. Rather than focusing on the fears of our old world, look to the visions of our new, higher nature —the reality we wish to manifest. By raising our consciousness, we are also actively shaping reality at the subatomic level, becoming a nexus point through which divine possibilities enter the physical realm.

This is not just a metaphor; rather, it is the physics of consciousness... because as Anais Nin stated, "We see things not as they are, but as we are."

ORIGIN OF CONSCIOUSNESS

In speaking of evolution, it is necessary to understand from the outset that no mechanical evolution is possible. The evolution of man is the evolution of his consciousness.
                                                                      G.I. Gurdjieff'

 

For May's Message from the Passage, I've included an excerpt from Book Four, ELYSIUM'S PASSAGE: SURREAL ADVENTURES, where a debate ensues on the topic of human origins and consciousness. This occurs at a university forum being held on a virtual island they sail to in called the Flatlands, where Rhom, an off-worlder from the Pleiadian constellation, is giving the featured speaker a hard time.

The first three chapters of Surreal Adventures may be accessed at this link
https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/coming-soon-bk-2-surreal-adventures 

Whatever your opinion is on the topic of origins, I trust you will find this post interesting, if not a bit provocative, since it goes contrary to much of science's current narrative regarding who and what we are. The question remains: Are humans a fluke of nature or an emanating fractal of a priori consciousness?  

We listened to a presentation outside on how the brain was nature’s supreme organ. I smiled at a pretty young woman who happened to be standing next to me. She smiled back and suggested I ought to return tonight to hear a lecture on how the brain’s neural transmitters function.

‘If you haven’t seen the model, it’s quite the sight,’ she said enthusiastically.

‘Maybe you can explain it to me sometime,’ I said. ‘So, are you coming this evening?’

‘I’m not sure, but you should come anyway. Miniature lights simulating neural synaptic transmitters are colour-coded in the lobes, all mapping out how and where the mind performs its wonders. The circuitry flashes on and off in a spectacular flow of colours, causing the brain to glow brightly.’

 ‘The brain couldn’t possibly be as spectacular as your bright mind,’ I smiled flirtatiously.

I guess she wasn’t expecting that, so she gave me a curious look and moved to the other side of the auditorium. I meant that to be funny, but I guess it came across a bit lame. Obviously, I had miscalculated, losing some of my dazzling charm over these last months. Probably, I needed more practice. Oh, well, I thought, she wasn’t real anyway in this virtual reality, even if she felt that way.

As I observed the crowd, it was evident how impressed they were when the speaker reminded them how chance provides order to matter.

‘But it isn’t just chance,’ he said, ‘it’s destiny. That’s when nature emerges to create the greatest show on earth.’[1]

I watched Rhom’s reaction as he stood stoically, attentive to what was being said.

‘Nowhere is this more evident than with the brain,’ the speaker continued. ‘Obviously, the brain is composed of matter. But just look what it can do! And that’s all that matters,’ he said, chuckling at his play on words.

‘Ah, this explains everything,’ Rhom whispered to me. ‘Amazing… who would have guessed inert matter could do all that? Maybe he’ll now tell us how.’

The crowd seemed transfixed by what the presenter said, even though I’m sure they had heard it all before, for as long as they could remember, since it never failed to awe what other wonders nature might bestow on the human brain should the species survive another billion years or two.

After he concluded his talk, he asked if there were any questions. Rhom raised his voice from the back and said: ‘Thank you, sir, for your erudite presentation on the marvels of the human brain and the recent discoveries made probing the circuitry of the hypothalamus and cerebellum. I wonder if you might now explain where the blueprint for this design might have originated.’

Whispers spread through the crowd as many looked back to where we stood. Some seemed irritated with this effrontery, while others had smug, knowing smiles. Nevertheless, most seemed curious about where this intruder-interloper might have come from using such verboten words. Neither origin nor origination is considered an appropriate term in the Flatlands, any more than design or creation are tolerated in biology and anthropology departments.

The speaker cleared his throat, seemingly uncomfortable being confronted so brazenly with this ignorant and misguided query.

‘Before you answer,’ Rhom said, ‘let me also add I fail to understand how inanimate matter comes to ferment in the primordial slime you spoke of and somehow animates itself into a mechanism for these wonders you speak of. Then there's the question of where the slime came from to get the ball rolling, since it's not exactly inanimate. Or did aliens plant it there? If so, I don't recall doing any such thing, he chuckled. Further to this, how did life overcome the entropic tendencies of the Second Law of Thermodynamics to become a functioning organ?'

'Even if we ignore that conundrum, please advise us how the slime managed to program itself with a prerequisite design to inform itself prior to creating itself. I’d be most appreciative if you would explain this since these questions have been annoying me ever since I heard your unsubstantiated suppositions.’

Now visibly agitated, the speaker said, ‘Though the brain replication outside appears incredibly complex, it wasn’t always so. Over time and chance, however, the brain became increasingly intricate, much as illustrated by the model. As any scientist will tell you, this process can easily be explained by nature’s cooperative mechanisms of mutations in concert with natural selection. Should you care to inform yourself, you will find all accredited scientists agree that the science is settled.’

‘I’m sure they do. Non-sequiturs aside, you have yet to address the question of sex. How does inanimate matter transmute itself into a self-replicating organism… and all this before the advent of either mutations or natural selection. How would symbiosis even be possible if nothing prior existed to make this a possibility? It’s difficult for me to understand how reproductive organs could have emerged when there would be no survival benefit until they were fully functional in both sexes.

‘I’m not sure how anyone could find sufficient faith to believe in any of this, even if they wanted to. And so, if you would, please enlighten me on how these organisms could procreate when there was nothing with which to procreate. In other words, by what means would organs emerge into existence prior to… well, their existence?

‘Let me also inquire; would that not be an implicit tautology, considering the a posteriori would have had to be the a priori cause? It seems there could be no more significant logical contradiction than that. Or am I missing some, ah, if you will, missing link?’

Again, a murmur spread through the crowd as everyone looked back towards Rhom. With so many there, I felt somewhat self-conscious as I stood beside this ancient sea captain relic who kept asking embarrassing questions. Perhaps I should have followed the young woman to the other side.

Maybe that’s what threw the crowd; that, along with his medieval sea habiliments and imposing stature. Though I expected some heckling, it seemed everyone was too caught off guard to know what to do with this odd spectacle in their midst.

‘Once again, sir,’ the speaker responded, ‘anything can happen with enough time, and, in fact, does happen. In this case, most palaeontologists agree that irradiating lightning strikes coalesced the necessary energy from the atmosphere to the earth. Over time, this latent force produced surges of life-forming patterns, thereby overriding whatever order of entropy you might have been referring to.

‘If you knew your science, my good man, you would know that’s what scientists call punctuated equilibrium, or what might be considered random energy discharge surges resulting in the creation of increasing complexity of progressive evolutionary orders. We can only address this in terms of the respected discipline of scientific abiogenesis[2] instead of antiscientific myths of creation, which seem to be implicit in your lines of the query.’

With this comment, the crowd erupted in hoots, laughter and clapping, clearly enjoying the routing coup d’état.

‘Thank you for your inquisitions,’ he said; ‘are there other questions in the audience?’

‘Since you have yet to address my questions satisfactorily,’ Rhom said, ‘I’d like to know if anyone in this esteemed audience can provide plausible insights into what remains unbeknownst to the speaker.’

It was now most apparent that there was a troublemaker in the crowd. Many looked back at us again, this time with indignant anger. The speaker wasn’t at all pleased with Rhom’s impudence.

‘Let me restate the question since it all sounds so miraculous,’ Rhom said. ‘I just want to know how nature can, with enough time and chance, create life out of inanimate matter and then later replicate itself into innumerable species. You just stated that nature explains everything, yet I don’t see how that, in itself, explains anything emerging into existence. Nor has anyone provided a logical causal explanation of how nature could be an effect of itself.’

For a moment, the speaker looked stunned, searching his mind for how to respond or, perhaps, how to deal with this intruder before he did any more damage.

Undeterred, Rhom said, ‘While everyone is thinking about his, I have a related question. Is there anyonehere who can tell us how consciousness was created? Did the brain somehow emerge out of the elements with an awareness of its awareness? A most curious phenomenon, wouldn’t you say, considering no one on this earth even seems to have the faintest idea what consciousness is?’

There was silence as the speaker once again looked down at his notes, this time, I’m sure, wishing this would all soon be over so he wouldn’t have to put up with more of this audacity.

‘Again, all I’m asking,’ Rhom said, ‘is how consciousness was derived from unconscious matter and how did the animated brain, derived from inorganic, inert chemicals, the very brain that observes itself in the laboratory? I don’t know if anyone here is aware that one of your revered physicists aptly commented on this impossibility when he stated: As if mind had only been produced by the very display that it is now watching.’[3]

There was some murmuring in the audience and then more silence. After a few moments of reflection, the speaker regained his composure and finally looked up with a condescending smirk.

‘Sir,’ he said, ‘if you were at all familiar with the concept of consciousness, you wouldn’t need to ask such a question because you would already know that awareness is what scientists refer to as merely being an epiphenomenon of the brain.

‘It is often referred to as an emergent quality emanating from the brain’s cortex. If it helps you understand,’ the speaker said, ‘think of consciousness as an electromagnetic wave, much like a hot current radiating off the wire of a turbine’.

‘I see,’ said Rhom. ‘However, saying consciousness is merely an epiphenomenon of the brain suggests a few pounds of flesh is all it takes to bring consciousness into existence. That’s what we most pity about this intellectual wasteland; your ontological arguments have no substance. If that’s what Flatlanders wish to believe, then continue in your mind’s playground.

‘Where I come, there is no analogy for consciousness. Instead, analogies derive from consciousness, as does everything else. Consciousness is not of the flesh; it’s of the eternal order of reality from which the flesh exists for a short while. Without being known, it is how we come to know.’

Rhom paused a moment to let these words sink in. Some in the audience appeared intrigued by what he had to say, considering how he appeared to have just stepped off the movie set of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Nevertheless, his poignant questions were new to almost everyone in the forum and possibly the speaker, too. Others looked annoyed, while most seemed confused, as if they had never thought about any of this before.

Before the speaker could divert attention away from h

im, Rhom said, ‘It should be evident that there can be no reality apart from consciousness, yet you remain ingenuous, preferring to fabricate the term epiphenomenon to explain what you can’t explain. It’s supposed to mean something, yet it means nothing.[4]

‘All one needs to do is make up a word, and this whole Flatland will buy into any sleight of hand. What if reality was consciousness… and you want to reduce it to some word that means nothing? Just like you give names to energy particles to make mind-stuff seem more materially palatable, and before you know it, everyone believes the story. That’s why we pity everyone here; there seems to be no end to self-delusion.’ 

The lecturer grew red in the face as his hands began to shake in anger. Yet, he gave no further response, only muttering something about moving on to questions that had some relevance to the topic.

‘Well then,’ Rhom said, ‘since no one can give any meaningful response to my queries, I will take my leave. If I’ve created a few bumps along your flat, physicalist road, I have done so to jolt you awake. Have a pleasant day.’

As we made our way towards the door, I heard the speaker ask the audience, ‘Could we now please have a more judicious inquiry into the intricacies of the human brain, this time something more based on factual science?’

There was some laughter and clapping at this remark, albeit more subdued than before. I’m sure the audience was relieved with this repartee, as several hands shot up to ensure they wouldn’t have to endure more of Rhom’s audacious stunts.

As we walked out onto the street, I laughed. ‘It seems you’ve been duly informed about the nature of reality, Rhom. Aren’t you glad you came to find what you didn’t know before?’

‘Imagine that, all I had to do was come halfway across the universe to receive such enlightenment. Yet, it seems the Flatlanders don’t take very well to having their beliefs challenged.’

‘Especially by a pirate,’ chuckled. ‘I doubt if anyone has ever confronted Flatlanders with views so unsavoury to their linear orthodoxies.’

‘Their reaction was a typical human experience,’ he said, ‘just like many assumed that the sun revolves around the earth because that’s what they saw, from morning till night. Even after Galileo came up with something very different, their beliefs continued.’

‘It seems things haven’t changed that much,’ I said. ‘Everywhere, people believe what they wish to believe and what makes them comfortable.’

‘Still, we shouldn’t be too hard on your species,’ Rhom said, ‘even if I might have been a bit direct with the speaker.’

‘Nevertheless, it was important for you to call out the Flatlanders on their presumptions of dubious reasoning. I mean, really, what does a current of heat emanating from a wire have to do with consciousness, even as an analogy? And yet this obvious sophistry seemed to satisfy them.’

‘That’s why analogies can be deceptive,’ he said, ‘especially when non-sequiturs are used to contort what’s foolish to appear reasonable. I hope you will remember how endemic this thinking has become throughout the Flatlands.’

‘I’ll try, but I can see myself sitting in this crowd as an impressionable student not long ago, bobbing my head up and down along with everyone else, which makes me wonder what I was thinking back then.

‘After all, philosophers are supposed to expose and critique the underlying assumptions instead of becoming apologists for every fashionable sophistry that emerges from such intellectual miasma.’  

‘But then,’ Rhom said, ‘it has become common for philosophers to critique only what Flatlands consider acceptable for critiquing. Apparently, it’s safer that way.’

‘I guess I should know,’ I said, ‘my career depends on having a few blinds spots when necessary.’

‘That might be; still, how would you have made it this far had you doubted what you inwardly knew to be true? You didn’t forget your vision, and so your vision didn’t forget you, even when you misplaced it after compromising your beliefs to secure a part-time lectureship.’

--- Next Chapter ---

As we continued our walk out of the Flatlands towards the shore, I was lost in thought while contemplating the lessons I learned while revisiting my past in these Flatlands.

Rhom suddenly turned towards me and said, smiling: ‘You might wish to look up for a moment from the ruts of your past; there is a brighter future to come.’

I then turned and saw Sophia running excitedly towards us. When she caught up, out of breath, she said: ‘Am I ever glad to find that you’re still here. While in class, I kept thinking about you and all the adventures you’re having.

‘I’ve decided I want to come! May I? I’m tired of this place. I promise I’ll learn how to sail and do whatever you ask me.’ 

I was delighted to hear this and was about to welcome her aboard when Rhom smiled at her kindly and said, ‘Sophia, we would love to take you with us; however, you still need to experience your journey in the Flatlands just as Sebastian had to complete his before it was his time to sail away.’

‘I hate to say it, Sophia, but Rhom is right. As much as I’d like to take you with us, you don’t even know where we’re headed. Before you depart this island, you need to discover where you wish to go.’

‘That is the most important part of the journey,’ Rhom said. ‘When you know that, all else will become clear.’

‘I just know I don’t wish to be here anymore. There’s nowhere to go and nothing to see. I want to follow you since you’re the only men who know where you’re going. Please take me with you; I’ll do anything,’ she pleaded as her eyes moistened.

I took her in my arms and looked at Rhom as if to ask... Now what?

‘Don’t worry, Sophia,’ Rhom said, ‘I’m sure we’ll meet again.’

Still, she sobbed as I released her from my arms.

‘So, where will I find you?’ 

‘Follow your heart,’ Rhom said. ‘It will direct you to where you should go.’

‘So where is that?’ she asked.

‘Do you see the Mountain across the sea, far beyond Flatlands’ shallow shores?’

‘No, I don’t. You know, we’re not supposed to look in that direction.’

‘Look anyway,’ he said, ‘and keep searching until you see it through the murky mists of the Lowlands, over the seas beyond the horizon. That’s where you’ll find us, ascending to ever-higher plateaus. And, not only us but even more importantly, you will find your Self there.’

‘I’m not sure what you mean. How can I find myself when I already know myself?’

‘Do you, Sophia? Do you know who you are?’

She looked down pensively, not knowing how to respond.

‘No one has ever asked me that before,’ she said. ‘Maybe you're right, maybe I don’t know. So, can you tell me who I am?’

‘Only you can discover who you are,’ I said. ‘All we see is an amazing young woman with beautiful red hair. But within, you are much more than that.’

‘Again, I don’t understand; what do you mean much more?’ she asked. ‘What is much more?’ 

‘Within,’ Rhom said, ‘you are a goddess of divine resplendence waiting to be found. If you look within, you will find her, the Self you are.’

‘These are extraordinary words, Captain,’ she said. ‘No one has ever spoken to me like this before.’

‘Nor will they, at least not in the Flatlands or Lowlands,’ I said. ‘But first, you will have to ascend your Mountain. That’s what I had to do before I could know the I Am that I am.’ 

She looked at me curiously, appearing not to understand what I said.

‘I’m sorry, Sophia,’ Rhom said, ‘but we must now take our leave to return to the sea. Always remember to look towards the Mountain so you might join us there.’

He lifted her downcast chin and lightly stroked her hair as she began to sob again.

Again, I took her in my arms and embraced her tightly, kissing her cheek. Then we turned and walked away. After a distance, I looked back. She remained there motionless, silently watching us. I waved goodbye. She didn’t wave back.

‘Dammit, Rhom, this is supposed to be a virtual world, so how can I fall in love and become so enamoured by a hologram that feels as real as anyone I’ve ever known on earth. I feel terrible leaving her behind.’

‘Her image might be holographic, yet it projects a real soul. In a sense, everyone is a hologram of their past, present and future. Possibly, one day, you will meet a semblance of her when you least expect it. If you do, ask her if she ever had a dream about a Captain and his First Mate on the street somewhere.’

[1] The presenter was using this phrase, taken from one of biologist Richard Dawkins' books, which attributes to nature the power to create all life and evolutionary variations throughout the world.
[2] Abiogenesis is the scientific discipline that proposes to explain how life supposedly arises from non-living matter. Speculations are rife in the paleontological and biological communities on how the inanimate became animate. In truth, however, never has life been remotely demonstrated to arise from inorganic life in the laboratories, let alone in Haldane's primordial soup.
[3] The full quote by Erwin Schrodinger is: ‘The show that is going on obviously acquires a meaning only with regard to the mind that contemplates it. But what science tells us about this relationship is patently absurd: as if mind had only been produced by the very display that it is now watching.’ See Appendix ‘A’ for more quotes by Erwin Schrodinger (1933 Nobel Prize in Physics).
[4] For those interested, there is much material available on the topic of epiphenomenalism and how it may have unintentionally germinated and evolved from the philosophical dualism of Descartes. It’s both interesting and informative to understand ‘rational’ Flatland thinking and why the mind is rejected as the causal agent of anything, including free will, since only what is sensory (material) is permitted to be the sole agent. If you give credence to their premises, then obviously free will has no logical basis because their reality has no spiritual dimension to give it a foundation.

THE MAGIC OF
CALIBRATING CONSCIOUSNESS

 

In this post, I’m going to teach some magic, or so it may seem. But first, I need to give a short introduction so we have some context for how this sorcery works.

This magic is all about how to calibrate levels of consciousness, so let’s begin by questioning what is consciousness? Where is it, where does it come from, and where is it not? Does it come from the brain?  

Such questions often trip up scientists since they, I’m sorry to say, are mostly clueless about what I’m about to reveal. Many dismiss consciousness as what they refer to as an epiphenomenon, something that goes on in the brain’s hardware, much like heat off a stove. To me, that’s absurd, but it seems that’s the best they’ve got to explain consciousness since it’s way too subjective and immaterial for their comfort. (I even had an educated atheist friend tell me that consciousness doesn’t exist; it’s just an illusion.)

For more on this debate, see an excerpt in another post that’s taken from Chapter Four of Surreal Adventures in the Elysium’s Passage series, where consciousness is discussed in a heated debate at a fictional Forum. https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/how-conscious-are-you

Regardless, is there another word for consciousness that might help, such as awareness? If so, might we say these are interchangeable terms where is may be said the higher the IQ, the higher one’s conscious awareness?

If so, intelligent people would be the most aware. But are they?

Is it highly intelligent people or highly conscious people that bring misery to the masses? I think it’s obvious it’s not the Mother Teresas that exploit the masses by inserting themselves into positions of power, money and privilege, having little regard for anyone but themselves. Therefore, being intelligent, on its own, does not necessarily mean being more socially adept and well-adjusted in treating others as we all would like to be treated.

So, obviously, having high intelligence is not necessarily the same as having high consciousness. Not to say intelligence and consciousness are mutually exclusive.

As Nelson Mandela once stated: I would suggest intelligence and consciousness, ie, mind and heart, work best when in coherence as a unified field.
See my post, Union of Heart and Mind. https://digitalbloggers.com/book-reviews/union-of-heart-and-mind 

Let’s first consider whether consciousness has less to do with the mind and more with the heart. We now understand how intelligence is not just the domain of brain cells but that the heart possesses physiological intelligence, too. For information on this, go to https://www.heartmath.org/

We can measure intelligence with IQ tests, but if consciousness is the domain of the heart, how do we measure the heart? If consciousness is more about love than calculus, how can it be empirically measured and given a score? Certainly not with an EEG readout. So then, what is the technique for calibrating consciousness? That’s where we come to the magic part.

But before addressing this question, let’s first pivot in the direction of spirituality and ask if consciousness has more to do with God than with three and three and a half pounds of flesh. What we understand as consciousness is our experience of the divine expression of God (or whatever terms one may apply, such as Source, Great Creator, Universe, All That Is, Spirit, First Cause, Prime Cause, Prime Source, etc.) Of course, the atheist would deny it being any other than what’s material because that’s all they believe in.

My position, however, is that they are wrong; God has everything to do with conscious awareness simply because God, in essence, is consciousness. That may seem a rather bold, audacious claim. Yet I don’t see how it could be otherwise, implying existence is essentially non-dual, where the distinction between subject and object breaks down into Oneness. Therefore, the extent of our consciousness would relate to how God-infused we are and what we, as free-will beings, allow through the divine portals of our souls. Sorry for getting so philosophical, but the subject requires deep understanding.

If God is everywhere, then so must be consciousness; it’s just a matter of degree. To some extent, all life is aware and, therefore, conscious; the earth, with its animals, plants, insects and even amoeba, not to mention water and soil.

We are told that God is love, the glue of the universe experienced through consciousness. So, does this mean that all, in its essence, is an expression of God? If we hold to the ancient orthodox position that God is omniscient (all-knowing), omnipresent (all-present), and omnipotent (all-powerful), then how could it be otherwise? I believe most Buddhists, Hindus, and Sufi Muslims would agree, just as the early Christian fathers inscribed these beliefs in their canon.

Of course, this is not the same as claiming amoeba or anything else to be God. That would be preposterously pantheistic. However, we may say God’s material universe is an emanation of eternal Spirit, just as it is stated in Acts 17: 28, for in Him we move and live and have our being. As I see it, consciousness is the animating life force of the universe, the universal élan vital.

But since we each possess, or should I say, exercise a limited amount of consciousness awareness, or as I’ve said, God-infusion, we exist somewhere between the polarities of Light and Darkness, Love and Fear.

Some humans are born with innate high intelligence, while some are born with an innate calibration of high consciousness. Highly evolved humans have both, but most are much lower, with 100 being the average IQ and 200 being the average calibration of consciousness.

Many have little spiritual awareness, while some children seem gifted with uncanny wisdom. If you believe in reincarnation, it’s possible to interpret this as some souls continuing on the continuum where they left off in their last 3D life,  such as Mozart inheriting a highly accomplished musical ability and awareness. In such cases, I’m not sure there’s a limit on how far we can evolve in our conscious awareness in one lifetime.

Whereas, there are limits on how much more intelligent you can train yourself to be and how much you can dumb yourself down. It seems, however, that consciousness, or, let’s say, God-infusion, would seem much more pliable when tied to our free moral will and what we allow in through the divine portals of the heart. Christian scriptures exhort us to be ‘filled with the Holy Spirit.’

Again, that’s because the heart is about love and since God is love, the more love we allow, the higher our consciousness, even if we can’t intellectually explain how we are able to swing so significantly both up and down on the scale of consciousness. We can go up by setting our ego aside, or we can ‘fall from grace by allowing the ego-mind to get in the way of our heart’s divine portal when choking off our God-infused consciousness.

Our consciousness can easily rise or fall based on what influences we allow into our lives. Furthermore, we can calibrate these shifts. In other words, an external frame of reference is based on there being what is sometimes called the Field or Universal Field of Consciousness. Now, if it seems ridiculous that our conscious awareness can be measured, let me prove it. Or better yet, you may prove it to yourself.  

But first, let me introduce Dr David Hawkins, who was one of the pioneers in the field of examining consciousness. Dr David Hawkins, MD. PhD (1927-2012) was an acclaimed doctor of psychiatry, psychology and philosophy. I’ve listed his impressive list of credentials at the end of a post I wrote a few years ago. https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/how-conscious-are-you 
Over the years from the early 1950s, Hawkins wrote extensively on psychiatry and psychology, particularly as it related to addictions.

Then later, his focus expanded into the domains of spirituality, consciousness and enlightenment. I know of no one else, other than perhaps Jung, who had more to say on these topics, especially when approached from a non-dualistic perspective. Some of his books include The Eye of the I; I: Reality and Subjectivity and Transcending the Levels of Consciousness. Also, one of his most famous books, Power versus Force, had a Foreword written by Mother Teresa as an endorsement of his work.

Many years after establishing the largest and most prominent psychiatric clinic in the State of New York, he turned his attention to consciousness, perfecting an understanding of how to calibrate it. He wasn’t the first to develop these tests, but likely the most thorough in his research and writings.

Though it might seem difficult to believe this method is possible, it’s not such a stretch if you accept that God, by definition, is omniscient (all-knowing) and omnipresent (all-present), expressed as consciousness, then there should be no problem. But since most scientists don’t believe in God, they have a problem with this direct approach to measuring consciousness.

But if there is a verifiable technique for measuring consciousness, what is this magic incantation? It’s simple… no need for wands or devices; just you, the tester and consciousness, which is always there. In essence, this is a kinesiology muscle test where the muscle remains strong when the statement is true and where the muscle goes weak when the statement is false.

So then, let’s do the test....

Lecture on Dr David Hawkins and Relativism
February 23, 2025
Dr. David C. Jones

Dr Jones is a Professor Emeritus from the University of Calgary. Now retired and well into his eighties, he remains active in speaking and writing, having authored over 40 books so far.) He was a very popular professor and remains very engaging and captivating with his unique and animated style. I asked him if I may include a transcript of this recent talk at a church on David Hawkins, to which is graciously agreed.

If anyone wishes to know more about the incomparable Dr David Hawkins and his outstanding achievements, I posted an article on his work a couple of years ago. |
How Conscious Are You? https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/how-conscious-are-you   

Dr Jones's transcript is as follows: 

     David R. Hawkins was an extraordinary spiritual figure of the last thousand years. A doctor and a psychiatrist also, he created a map of the spiritual consciousness of humanity. It ran from 0 to 1000, one thousand being the highest attainable on earth. Jesus calibrated at 1000, as did Buddha and Krishna, but most people in the world are below 200, the crucial level of Truth and courage. Below 200, the consciousness of individuals is dominated by forms of negativity—pride, anger, fear, guilt, and shame. Above that level is reason, logic and rationality in the 400s, then love at 500, with unconditional love at 540. Only .4 percent of the world’s population reaches the level of Love. 

     Hawkins’ system uses a well-known approach of kinesiology, arm muscle testing, to distinguish between Truth and falsity. People test strong when expressing the Truth and go weak when not.[i]  “A negative feeling”, he writes, “causes a loss of 50% of the body’s muscle strength and also narrows our vision, both physically and mentally.[ii] 

     Why? Negativity is a denial of our very essence. It is a denial of all the gifts of God, a denial of your own sanctity, your own holiness, your inherent goodness, your essence as Love. Over and over in A Course in Miracles, Jesus has you memorize the great key—“I am as God Created Me.”

     Even before 2008, Hawkins foresaw an approaching calamity. Seventy-eight percent of the world’s population is below the crucial level of 200. Only .4 percent of the world’s population reaches the level of Love. But that was only part of what was happening.

    Look at the American universities. In 1955, Academia calibrated at 440, the level of rationality, reason, the intellectual integrity of the classical philosophers, ...the uplift, the study of virtues…. But by 2007, this high calibration of 440 had dropped precipitously to the level of 180 or lower. That’s the level of intellectual anarchy. It’s like falling 25,000 feet into a rock pit.

     How did that happen? How were the academics hoodwinked?

     Said Hawkins, it was the “fallacious intellectual/sociological/philosophical theories of recent decades; all boiled down to Marxist …elaborations of “relativism (ethical, moral, social, cultural).[iii]” These social anarchists, postmodernists, and relativists dreamt of a society “with no rules or restrictions, where all forms of expression are of equal value and validity, and where even overt falsehood has equal value and credibility with Truth.”[iv]

     None of these theorists, Hawkins said, calibrate over 200—Foucault, 190; Darrida, 170; Marcuse, 150; and, of course, Marx, 135.[v]  These levels are all negative. They have negative social consequences and destructive social impacts.   Look at the Marxist regimes of Pol Pot, Chairman Mao, Stalin and any other ‘liberator’ regimes.

     This low-level relativism supplanted the wisdom of the Enlightenment, the great minds of history, the Greeks, the Romans, the classics, and The Great Books series. These calibrated from 440 to 499—an infinity richer than relativism.

      The professors and many students had fallen victim to the first law of chaos in A Course in Miracles. Remember, 180 is the level of intellectual anarchy.

     “What have you taught yourself that you can possibly keep in place of what you have and who you are?” asks Jesus in the Course.[vi] The answer is a self-concept—a made-up self-definition, the coveted but confused purpose of this world. “You come without a self, and you make up one as you go along.”[vii]  And not one concept is the same as any other. How unique! But also, how chaotic! 

     “The first chaotic law is that the truth is different for everyone,” states Jesus.[viii] Each person is separate with self-cut carvings of interests and boredom, attractions and aversions, harmonies and discords, all as different as difference can be. There is no sameness, no unity, no oneness, nothing in common but the chaos everyone sees and feels in the jungle of clashing opinions, each hallowed as a “concept.” And it matters little which concept is chosen. “It bears no likeness to yourself at all,” says Jesus. “It is an Idol….”[ix]

     Leaking like Hemlock from the fatal first law of chaos is the great threat to Truth in our lives—relativism.

     Relativism calibrates lowly at 180 or lower, below the critical level of Truth at 200, a disastrous downside, magnified by its basic principles, shared by postmodernism. Hawkins detailed the supporting clauses of the first law of chaos, relativism.

There is no independent, universal, verifiable truth.

Morality and ethics have no reality basis and are, therefore, invalid.

Because there are no universal or verifiable truths, there should be no social parameters, restrictions, or [value systems] that are repressive… we get to do what want…. 

We are greatly affected by the prejudices and power of repressive elements in society that want to stifle us, control us, and keep us in line, like religion or tradition or worn-out morality.

Because there is no absolute truth, God/Divinity is nonexistent, and society should, therefore, be secular/atheistic/populist/libertarian and basically anarchistic.

     You see, this is a threat to Jesus’ teachings on Truth.

     Relativism is a judgement, and like all judgements, “it cannot see totality and therefore judges falsely,” says Hawkins.[x]  Relativism is a judgment that all traditions, customs or habits have equal validity. The celebration of the death of a national hero in Westminster Abbey, as a value, is equivalent to live entombment with a dead noble in Mayan culture, another “value.”  An Aztec priest’s declaration that a god needs the blood nourishment of a child’s extracted heart is as valid as Jesus’s declaration in A Course in Miracles that a child is holy.

     At the end of relativism is total anarchy, complete chaos, where nothing is dependable except undependability.

     If honour to one person means do your best and to another, kill a friend in a duel or a sister who “dishonoured” the family. The result? Chaos. If right conduct means beauty to one person and brutality to another, more chaos. Everything is of equal value, equal validity, say the relativists.

      Deceit is as good as trust, domination as good as service, cruelty as good as kindness, hypocrisy as good as honesty. “The paradox,” says Hawkins, “is that if anarchy is ‘legal’, then there would be no legal rights of law by which to enforce it.”[xi]

     Naturally, a philosophy as utter individualist as relativism favours freedom of speech. It’s no surprise that academics are inclined toward both. Emphasizing things like ‘tolerance,’ social justice,’ multiculturalism,’ [and] ‘accommodation,’” Hawkins reports, “major universities then began stylishly inviting even overtly psychotic visiting trendy ‘professors’ to lecture on delusional subjects, e.g. 9/11 conspiracy, or the Holocaust ‘never happened.’”[xii]

     If all statements have equal rights, what Hitler and Goebbels said are merely “points of view,” not falsities, as in traditional morality. In fact, the falsities are vitalised and legalised. The treachery of spies, the destruction by terrorists, the desecration of respect, the advocacy of unlimited sexual gratification—all are merely expressions. Defamation of character as a crime disappears before the perverted light of freedom of speech. Anything can be said; nothing is false; sedition is only free speech, as is slander and lying.

     Says Hawkins, “Whereas the average American naively assumes that ‘free speech’ is the bulwark of civil freedom, the opposite is just as true—it is also the most serious threat to liberty.”  Hitler promised a better world, Marx did too, and Lenin and Stalin and Mussolini and any number of dictators. But motive makes a difference. As Jesus says in the Course, “the body is beautiful or ugly, peaceful or savage, helpful or harmful, according to the use to which it is put.”[xiii] Similarly, free speech is uplifting or demoralising, melodic or discordant, helpful or harmful, according to the use to which it is put.

     “The American populace,” warns Hawkins, “will have to decide whether to side with wisdom or sophomoric absurdity and fulfill Socrates’ dire prediction that democracies eventually fall due to giving equal voice and votes to the ignorant and [self-seeking] segment of the population.” Democracies usually last only two or three hundred years “before the self-centred voters deplete the country of its resources and political wisdom.”[xiv]

     There is an enormous difference in the spiritual consciousness of people and in how they treat others. Think of these comparisons. Abraham Lincoln and Adolf Hitler; Socrates and Joseph Goebbels; Mother Teresa and Joseph Stalin….   Which embrace would you prefer?  

     Consider the embrace of dangerous political leaders. They are intrinsically dishonest, controlling, domineering, unforgiving and vindictive. With no spiritual values, no humane ideals, no personal honour, no consideration, and no value for fairness or human life, they are sanctimonious and savage, deceitful and duplicitous. They are willing to impoverish others and sacrifice others, including family. They ravage the weak and despise the populace as idiots. They favour severe torture. They are blind to others’ pain and totally intolerant of criticism. They love nothing except the fawning of others and the destruction of opponents. They attract followers and naïve apologists. They play the victim to justify violence, and they hate enviable figures.[xv]

     “When truth, justice, compassion and peace flee from man,” Sai Baba said, “the world degenerates into a snake pit.”[xvi]  This is always true.

     “Falsity brings death, destruction, and agony,” Hawkins affirms. “Unless one aligns with the Sword of Truth, one ends up facing the sword of steel.”[xvii]

     Truth and relativism are not synonyms. Relativism is an enormous threat to all the teachings of Jesus. The path to Truth is not filled with a hundred forms of deprival and repression, and it has none of the chaos of relativism, none of the demonising of virtues and the virtuous. “We do not need today a new faith or creed, nor a new system of education,” Baba explained. “Nor do we need to create a new society. All we need are men and women who have pure and loving hearts.”[xviii] Always true.

     And it's an enormous warning against the chaos overtaking the world—the rejection of Truth. In A Course in Miracles, the Holy Spirit asks for the simple courtesy of allowing Truth to be what it is. “Do not intrude upon it, do not attack it, do not interrupt it's coming,” says Jesus. “Let it encompass every situation and bring you peace.”[xix]

     Relativism is embedded in post-modernism. Together, they intrude upon the Truth; they attack the Truth; they interrupt its coming.

     And what is the Truth that they attempt to destroy—the Truth that you are as God made you, you are love, you are part of the divine, you are holy, and there is nothing your holiness cannot do. You are part of Oneness. Armed with the Truth, you are meant to uplift this world, to free it from falseness and pain and misleading.

     The Truth is for everyone, recognise it or not. Have faith in it. And Jesus emphasises, “The strain of refusing faith to Truth (that is what relativism and postmodernism do) is enormous, and far more than you realize. But to answer Truth with faith entails no strain at all.”[xx]  The strain brings “sorrow, depression, sickness and pain, darkness and dim imaginings of terror, cold fantasies of fear and fiery dreams of hell…. And it was nothing but the intolerable strain of refusing to give faith to Truth and see its evident reality.” [xxi]

     Yes, friends, Truth does exist. You can feel its uplift. Amen

SUMMARY OF ELYSIUM'S PASSAGE NOVEL SERIES

 

 
This is a series of seven Elysium Passager novels regarding a young British philosopher named James Phillips, who finds himself living in an altered state of reality while still remaining on Earth.  

After experiencing a near-fatal fall while climbing to the summit of a remote mountain in the Andes, James awakens in a new dimension. He soon encounters two mysterious beings who provide him with a very different perspective on the nature of his existence. Over the next year, before his body recovers from the coma, he is challenged to re-examine his understanding of life’s meaning and purpose far beyond anything he previously believed or could believe.

An engaging and sometimes surreal adventure with intimations of impending romance, the narrative explores the most important questions about life, death, reality, and our ultimate destiny. 

The Plains of Elysium (Champs-Élysées) was described by Homer, Hesiod, Virgil, and many other poets as the paradisiac afterlife realm reserved for heroes. As the title suggests, this is about a journey through a passage that leads towards Elysium’s exciting realm of adventures.

THE RETURN 

_____________________________________________________

 

1. THE ASCENT is the first novel in the Chronicles of Elysium’s Passage that’s foundational to everything that happens in the following narratives, which embark on an adventure that will surprise and delight the reader like no other book.

It all begins with an extreme adventure of climbing a remote and challenging mountain somewhere in the Andes Mountains. Just as James, the protagonist, is about to reach the mountain summit, he falls into an abyss that leaves him in a coma for almost a year.

After being airlifted by a forestry helicopter and flown back to London, where his body remained for almost a year. Eventually, he learns it was not he but his body that was rescued. Several days later, without understanding what happened, he continues to climb to the summit in an alternate dimension of higher consciousness.

Fortuitously, he meets two adventurers on the summit ridge who are no longer of this world. After that, his surreal life leads him to several new adventures in the subsequent chronicles, which include a rich mix of adventure, romance, and fantasy, along with profound discussions of philosophy, spirituality, and the afterlife.­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­

2. THE SUMMIT, the second novel in the Chronicles of Elysium’s Passage, carries on where James, the narrator and protagonist, is taught more about a multidimensional reality that he finds difficult to comprehend.

Not only does he find he’s not as clever as he imagined, but his off-world companions on the summit demonstrate that much of what he believed about life was not just parochial but wrong. At first, he finds this difficult to comprehend since their teachings are contrary to his limited understanding of non-material reality.

After being tricked into teleporting off a ledge where he was trapped, James becomes aware of a new reality that makes him capable of far more adventures than he could have ever experienced in his physical body back home.

Now, if only he would win over the only woman in this life who matters, the nurse on the other side of the veil, who continually demonstrates her unconditional love toward his healing.

This book may also open the reader’s eyes to a much vaster reality than many may be aware of. As with the other Chronicles, there are discussions of philosophy, the spiritual afterlife and what might seem like fantasy.

3. QUANTUM LEAPS is the third novel in Chronicles of Elysium’s Passage, where James, the philosopher-protagonist, teleports back to London to visit his body and make contact with the special nurse taking care of it in his absence. Immediately, he feels an inexplicable spiritual bond with her for reasons he remains unaware of.

Now aroused by a renewed interest in matters of love, the beginnings of a relationship begin to emerge as he attempts to reach across the chasm of their worlds. But it’s not until the fifth novel, Mystical Romance, that he encounters her in a way that he finds difficult to believe.

However, before that can happen, there is much about his failed relationships that must be resolved before he is ready to move forward in his new life in Elysium’s Passage. It is during this time he christens his comatose body as the fall guy since it took the fall for him down the abyss so he could learn the lessons he’s now learning.

That will be the next focus of his life, where, in his next Surreal Adventures, he is given virtual lessons to release many of his past beliefs about the world and his life.

4. SURREAL ADVENTURES is the fourth novel in the Chronicles of Elysium’s Passage, which finds James, the protagonist and narrator, escorted by his companions to a remote South Pacific Island, where he is left to reflect on what he’s learned.

During the next forty days, he battles the demons of his past as he works through some rather painful issues from his early youth. Here, in a tropical storm, he encounters an eerie, suspended spectre of the one he loved yet still resents for abandoning him as a child.

After this, he achieves peace of mind and is ready to return to his lodge to join his off-world companions on the Andes summit. However, just when it seemed things couldn’t get any stranger, a sixteenth-century sea captain sails his ancient ‘ghost’ ship onto the beach. Together, they sail off on a mystical ocean voyage to a couple of virtual islands supposedly in the South Pacific, where he witnesses and, at times, participates in several important life lessons.

Near the end, these encounters help prepare him for a new challenge within the interior of a mountain, where he falls deep into a dark tomb of fear. After being rescued by a mysterious stranger wielding his Excalibur, he continues on to where his life is about to be transformed in the following chronicle, Mystical Romance. 

5. MYSTICAL ROMANCE is the fifth chronicle in Elysium’s Passage, which will surprise the reader with a romantic twist of how love is expressed in higher realms. From this lofty perspective, everything about intimacy is understood as within, so without.

After escaping his tomb, James, the narrator and protagonist, makes his way through a maze of tunnels until he arrives at a large oak door, which he opens with the golden key he had been given. There, he steps into Elysium’s Passage’s Great Hall, where his life and recent achievements are celebrated now that his eyes have been opened to perceive a fascinating interior world of wonderment… and romance.

To say more might risk diminishing the multitude of delightful surprises as circumstances begin to open to The Elixir, where James is about to re-enter his earthly body’s existence. 

6. THE ELIXIR is the sixth chronicle of the Elysium’s Passage series that prepares James, the narrator-protagonist, to awaken and return to his body in London. Before that can happen, however, his off-world friend presents a mysterious equation, enshrouded within a light code frequency, that will stimulate the multidimensional DNA strands within him.

Much of this narration is centred in London, where his nurse unknowingly becomes involved in how the Elixir’s equation finds its way from a taxi cab driver to higher echelons of science. There are many twists in how she unwittingly brings the Elixir to the attention of mathematicians and physicists, after which they eventually discover how to code the equation into a laser ray to stimulate his fall-guy body into full consciousness.

Ostensibly a new Adam, he is destined to return humanity to a higher multidimensional existence. How this happens is filled with intrigue, as is his shocking return to his earthly body.

 
­­­­­7. THE RETURN is the seventh and last chronicle in the series where James, the narrator and protagonist, has re-emerged from Elysium’s Passage as he readjusts to life in the third dimension. Many of the events from the previous novels are tied together in an exciting, fast-paced, and action-packed narrative that spans several countries.

At first, it seems all memories have been lost, with his fall guy’s brain not being aware of what happened to him while in his coma. As a consequence, it takes a while for him to be convinced he had been out of his earthly body for almost a year.

Through some unexpected events and evidence, along with his girlfriend’s urging, he comes to an awareness of what had occurred. It takes a while for his mind to catch up with the changes made in his heart during his stay in the alternate realm. But after experiencing several harsh realities, he discovers what he has become while out of his body. Gradually, he comes to understand the many challenges that lie ahead for him in fulfilling his future mission on Earth.

This book is filled with adventure, romance and personal intrigue that ties together all six previous narratives of the Elysium’s Passage series.
