Spiritual seekers have learned various terms for aspects of our higher selves. Christic, Buddhic, Atman, I AM, Monad, Causal Body, etc. Many have gained some understanding of how these purely spiritual “bodies” both interpenetrate and exceed one another in frequency and amplitude of light energy. For most people, this is an intellectual item to consider and understand as a road map to one’s “self” but not much more. I would like to ask you to consider inhabiting these bodies consciously and learning to experience life through the lens of each of your celestial bodies.
In a previous article, I described placing your attention upon a spiritual master and pouring your love to that one in order to elevate yourself into a common space, to learn from and to absorb the radiation of that one. The same skill of placing your attention upon a lofty virtue or a master can be used to place your attention upon your Christic presence or any of the higher foci of self. “What do you picture or appeal to?” you are probably wondering. How can you form and hold as a target a part of “self” which was previously known only in a purely intellectual way?
The way it worked for me was that a particular master presented this challenge to me and then held before my inner sight during meditation, day after day, a glyph and an exalted feeling of being on this Christ Plane. All I had to do was gaze upon this glyph and absorb his radiation and I was (part of my soul substance was) drawn up into this plane. The first few times, I felt overwhelmed with impressions but oddly, somewhat blind and unable to categorize or understand anything. It was like a void. But not really.
By this time I had learned the inestimable value of persisting and doing an exercise like this day after day after day for 2-3 weeks. Sure enough, by the end of the first week I began to perceive and understand more and more of what there was to experience in this rarified realm. I think that when you do this, you are stretching or dividing your soul substance; keeping part in the waking brain-mind and pressing the rest of you into an adventure. And it requires some time for the brain-mind and the electrical circuits of the soul-brain connection to be able to convey something useful to a person steeped in our limited 3+1 dimensional thinking for many years.
I felt like a fish out of water—trying to see and navigate by just flopping on the bank. But persistence is rewarded. I won’t go into all the things you learn and master. But a key part is that you feel big—much bigger than your physical body. And you have to quit thinking of time and space as linear and limited to be able to navigate.
You can do this. Just ask. Over a long period of time I did this same exercise for my Buddhic, Atmic, Monadic and larger bodies. But I also did it for some of my lower bodies too—my astral, etheric and mental bodies. I found that if you do these sustained crash-course-like expeditions to all these places that you end up feeling whole in a way that you could never have imagined before. There really is so much that results from this that words fail.
These realms can become known to you and you can navigate them with your eyes open, walking around, seeing in multiple dimensions simultaneously. I found it worth the effort and I continue to practice.
