RAISE YOUR VIBE

What gets you high… other than a buckin’ bronc?

Perhaps, more importantly, what keeps you high? Where do you set your vibe; low or high?  Or do you just let it happen? Or do you allow others to set it for you? How do you feel most of the time; are you up or down or just blah mediocre.

Let me talk in terms of ‘we’ rather than ‘you’ since we all have the same emotions; it's just a matter of how we allot and apply them by what we think and do.

Are we good with how we feel, or do we want to crank the dial to something higher, more exciting, and joyful? And yet, that's not always easy... life keeps happening. But are we going to allow life to make us feel disempowered and disenfranchised, or are we going to rise above the fray?

All emotions emanate from one of two polarities: fear or love. That’s all there is; all else is on the continuum between these opposites, configurations of thought patterns that make us feel what we feel, be that good or bad.

So many of us in this world still remain trapped in fear (COVID masks, anyone? -- that didn't even work). If we live in fear, it's because we don’t love. Out of love comes trust, believing it’s a benevolent universe no matter what happens and ultimately works out for good, even in the “shadow of the valley of death.”

But we are here to overcome adversity rather than cower to whatever threat we happen to imagine after listening to negative people and the MSM. It seems that’s what the ego phantom wishes for us all… to keep our vibe down. That way, it stays in control, not us.   

On the Hawkins Scale of Consciousness, fear is far down the negative side of the fulcrum along with shame, guilt, anger, judgement, pride, etc. In fact, all these negative emotions are qualities of fear and how it manifests itself in our lives.

Anyway, let’s not dwell on that; you can do a muscle (kinesiology) test to prove these calibrations since the universal field of consciousness does not lie. It’s the same for everyone. For more information on what this is all about, see my blog post. https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/how-conscious-are-you 

Okay, now the good part… How to get our vibe up where we can remain at peace in joy and happiness.

First, we need to examine everything that influences our lives so we know what is causing us to feel as we do. If it’s unhappiness, we can be sure there’s a lower vibe causing us to feel bad. Some of these influences might not seem easy to change, such as ‘down-draft’ relationships we find ourselves stuck with. If so, it might be time to say goodbye to these emotional life-suckers and find friends that draw us up or at least not bring us down. (Ever known anyone like that?)

One thing is for certain; once our vibe goes up, we will annoy the hell out of them, and they won’t even want to be around us. Or, to look at it another way, our light will hurt their darkened eyes. Think of Plato’s cave in his REPUBLIC classic… the cave dwellers preferred to remain in the dark cave because the outside sunlight hurt their unenlightened eyes.

So enough philosophizing, let’s get down to some specifics. What do we allow into our lives that raises or lowers our conscious vibe? That might take some introspection and reflection to determine.

But let’s start with music. What kind of music do we enjoy? If it has angry, judgemental lyrics, then maybe we need to try listening to something more uplifting by cultivating new music tastes that communicate a high vibe feeling. Observe how the music feels when listening to it. It might be moody, even melancholy, but if it resonates as meaningful, that too can be a good vibe.   

It doesn’t all have to be Handle’s Messiah, but that’s a good start… excellent, actually. I recommend Dimash, the best singer in the world, bar none, who can sing in six octaves in many styles, primarily pop/classic. Go to my blog post on him to see and hear what I mean. If you have an ear for high-vibe music, he will raise your vibe like no one else. https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/beauty-splendor-and-truth 

Don’t get me wrong, though; I enjoy almost all genres of music, provided the lyrics or cacophonous rhythms don’t provoke negative feelings by grating on my nerves. Only creative harmony raises my inner vibe, but each to their own.

Let me get personal and ask what kind of movies do you enjoy? If you like horror, ask yourself why. Is it because it resonates with a low vibe frequency fear vibe in you that you find entertaining. But if you want your spirit to ascend to a higher plane, find something that inspires you.

The same goes for books. Don’t read trash. Garbage in; garbage out! You don’t have to read my  ELYSIUM’S PASSAGE novel series to boost your intellectual vibe. However, if these appeal to you, and I hope they do, they’ve been known to raise various reader’s vibes higher than the cowboy in the air.

At least they do for me, but then I’m slightly biased. Of course, you could do a muscle test on the series and find how the series calibrates on the scale of consciousness… I’d be interested in knowing what you get.

What kind of food do you eat? How does it make you feel? Listen to your body; it wants to feel good so that you can feel its healthy, natural vibe.

Do you enjoy nature, and how often do you go for walks or bike rides in it? The more you do, the more it might raise your spirits to feel good again. Stand in the grass in your bare feet for five or ten minutes and see what happens. It’s easier to reach for the stars if your feet remain grounded.

How about humour to lift your spirits? We all love to laugh, so find funny movies, books or people to lift your spirits.

Another suggestion: Many people find pets raise their spirits. Especially dogs that love to give and receive affection.

Perhaps what’s most determinant to our overall happiness is how we respond to others. Are we judgemental, gossipy, spiteful, contentious, jealous, angry, resentful?  Do we feel like we’re a victim, entitled to what others have even when we’re not? If so, we are coming from fear rather than love. Do we pray for your enemies, or do we curse them? If we, by God’s grace, transmute our ego fears to love, we will become free.

Lastly, maintain an attitude of gratitude and appreciation as much as possible. If you want some inspiration for this, read my post on ‘Sowing Happy Seeds of Gratitude,’ it might help inspire you. https://digitalbloggers.com/book-reviews/sowing-happy-seeds-of-gratitude  

Try to get in the habit of writing your ‘gratitudes’ every morning by going within to identify whatever brings you joy or appreciation. Often, these are things we take for granted, such as your friends and family, your home, your vehicle, food in the fridge, etc. Or, perhaps something that’s just happened, happening or is about to happen, even ordinary things like the sun shining or rain falling. Maybe the cup of coffee you are drinking.

Get creative and do this every day, and you will be off to a happy start by raising your vibe. We attract good things by using the magnet of gratitude and appreciation. Keep setting the dial a few notches higher until you get yourself up where you wish to remain most of the time. (Without having to come down like the cowboy.)

What influences our emotions will determine where our vibe point rests, but it’s up to us what we allow into our lives and how we respond. If we want to get higher and happier, then we will need to work on our attitude. That might take a while, but we can’t do it alone without the support of those who are as high or higher than us. Seek them out and all influences that can raise your conscious vibes. In other words: CELEBRATE, CELEBRATE, CELEBRATE!! 

The sad part about this is that few are willing to celebrate life. Too many are content wallowing in misery, just as G.I. Gurdjieff once stated after spending a lifetime of observing humanity.

Be the exception. Be happy. Do not let your ego-fear complex talk you out of it by settling for misery. Move your consciousness to a high vibe where you will feel on top of life. After all, you consist of god-essence, and it really would be a shame to live as anything less than what you are.

There is a Psalm written: Guard your heart more than any treasure, for it is the Source of all life. The heart is a collective of all your affections; don't let them contaminate your life with low vibes. We are living in a world that has been needlessly seized by fear; nothing could be worse for us. Do all you can to counter the disease of fear with what will raise you up. But that is another topic for another blog.

Despite all our adversities, we’re here to experience life, so let’s make it a happy one. It’s our choice. GOOD VIBRATIONS or bad vibrations. Love or Fear

SUMMARY OF ELYSIUM'S PASSAGE

 

The Elysium's Passage series begins with 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 existence.

The following comments are excerpts from among the first readers, including a number of Amazon five-star reviews. To read the full reviews, go to READER REVIEWS at https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/reader-reviews  

"A delightful mix of fantasy, reality, conjecture and humour; Mr Meyers draws the reader into the story with a gentle narrative that captures the imagination, leaving one anxious to get to the next page drawing you into his exceptional world.”

"Quietly, gently, and without imposition, the Author unfolds the pages, creating an intricate, interlocking bridge spanning the chasm between mind and heart. Renewing, refreshing, restoring. In my bereavement, it was vigil and light…"

“Excellently written with an exceedingly deep understanding of this world and the next. The characters are very well written and engaging. I can't wait to complete this book!"

“Takes the reader on both a philosophical and spiritual journey, a journey that at times is both disquieting and tranquil. James, a British Philosopher can be irreverent and caustic, traits that should have left me cringing, but instead made me laugh out loud. Elysium’s Passage is a fun, enlightening and remarkable book.”

“This is a masterful fantasy, becoming a real possibility, as the reader is drawn into the story. The Summit leaves you anxious for the next book in the series, yet also leaves you totally satisfied with the world you have just visited. Genius! An exciting, yet calming, experience that is not to be missed."

"There was hardly a page on which I did not find at least one sentence worthy of hi-lighting for future reference. In addition, I thoroughly enjoyed the main character, James, whose personality and passionate verbal exchanges with the other characters, kept me coming back for more. I am reading the book for a second time while I wait for the next one in this series to be made available."

 “N.G. Meyers has clearly put a great deal of research and thought into what the afterlife may look like and I like his perspective. It’s an altogether welcoming and exciting vision. The book gives one a great deal to think about and a reassuring confidence that the end of our lives is truly the beginning of life in the next. I highly recommend it."

"I am really enjoying your book, it’s fantastic! It is so incredible and diversified that I can’t really explain it to other people, so what I say is just read this book. Thank you so much for the blessings that you’ve given the world!"

“The humour interjected into a serious discussion makes me laugh out loud. Totally unexpected....l may be in the presence of at least a master, if not a genius. A fair ride into reality... seeking that which is unseen, yet absolutely real.”

“An engaging story of adventure embracing man's deepest desire to search for meaning and purpose, N.G. Meyers takes the reader on an adventurous thought-provoking journey. This book has substance. It is a perfect blend of adventure and fantasy combined with spiritual philosophy. It ignited my imagination. The author magically weaves a good story laced with wit and humour together with deep philosophical wisdom. This book has it all!”

“An evolution in thought is triggered by many fresh philosophical themes which could inspire readers to re-think their reality and former ideologies that have dictated their lives… the author fires readers’ imaginations to view what could be possible when spirit vacates the body.”

“This is the book spiritual seekers have been waiting for. For me, it granted me a great read as well as increased inspiration to live every day with a heightened sense of purpose. I highly recommend it.

“The Summit is capable of hooking readers and luring them to search for Book 2 to discover more about Dr. Philip’s surreal trek into the mysterious unknown universe. This thick book is well worth the read and to share…”

“Mind-blowing statements and speculation (‘…everyone is a non-physical thought form conceived in the Mind of 

God, preserved for all eternity because God’s thoughts never die…’). Many will find Meyers’ journey up the Mountain intriguing—and possibly even life-changing.” (BLUEINK REVIEW)

“In its effort to grapple with fundamental questions about the meaning of life, it raises questions that have echoed throughout the ages, including about where we come from, where we are going, who are.”  (CLARION REVIEW)

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 that 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 Andean 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 remains for almost a year. Eventually, he learns it was not him 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 that 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 the new reality that makes him capable of far more adventures than could have ever been experienced previously 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.

Warning: This book may also open the reader’s eyes to a much vaster reality than most might be aware. 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 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 eery 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 Excaliber, 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-worlder friend presents a mysterious equation enshrouded with a light code frequency that will stimulate 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 experienced in the previous novels are tied together in an exciting, fast-moving, action-packed narrative over 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 rather unexpected events and evidence, along with his girlfriend’s urging, he is brought to an awareness of much of what 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 became within 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.
