The inner self, separate
and apart from the physical self which reflects
what the world sees. Such was the case until I met
Karra and discovered a part of me living on
another planet in a dimension I can only visit in
astral form. The inner self became a shared space
and it was outside of myself I went to for
inspiration from that point on where she could
express herself through me and I could be a
complete person. In looking for a topic for this
month’s editorial it was this symbiotic
relationship which came to mind as well as the
impermanence of the human body. Eighty plus years
if I'm lucky is a paltry amount compared to the
thousand that Karra may experience so I’ve been
reevaluating the entire concept of the inner self.
The physical body is really just a temporary
vehicle to house a consciousness and the self
inside may be better thought of as a controller
who is on the outside looking in. Like the donning
of a pair of VR goggles, waking up each morning to
start the day could be considered a similar action
where the immortal spirit takes over the operation
of the physical body remotely. A theory like that
requires some scientific and even some
non-scientific evidence to support it and here is
what we’ve come up with so far.
Science says we are billions of
years old, or at least the physical body reading
this is billions of years old. The reason is that
is how old the matter is that makes up the atoms
all gathered together to form the physical self.
Anything that has ever existed in one form or
another has been recycled into something else
billions of times over. An example is the apple
eaten at lunch could have been part of the lunch
of a dinosaur or an acorn from the dark ages.
Really it’s not the body that is the person but
the never-ending consciousness, spirit or soul
borrowing the physical dust of creation to fulfill
a purpose. The non-scientific evidence I’ve relied
on are the archives comprising the channeling
sessions with the members of Ashtar Command on the
base. In one analogy, Omal considered how the
human mind is so much like a self-learning
computer with its hard drive, modem and operating
system constantly updating with new input. In
another session, we tossed around the analogy that
we could be considered holograms with spirit and a
sense of humor. From all of that I’ve taken more
of a proprietary view of how to work with the
vehicle I’ve been given. It opened up a whole
range of speculation on how to better control the
physical self by working with Karra and seeing
where improvements could be made.
First out of the gate is dreams.
Having a twin soul, sleep is something I look
forward to as we meet fairly frequently in scenes
barely remembered but it’s those that are
remembered which could easily pass for real life.
More than once it was agonizing to return to a
world where we couldn’t touch and the question of
which was more real begged for an answer. Next is
astral travel, similar in many ways but the
separation is more controlled. So just how
connected are we when we leave our body
consciously or unconsciously? How real is our
reality? Luckily, I don’t lose any sleep over
those questions. Now if we were to make of reality
what we will, then changes to the atoms making up
the human body would only need to be visualized.
Again we fall back on science which confirms all
the atoms making up the human body are connected
electromagnetically as are the thoughts generated
by the brain. Control of the brain means control
of the atoms so positive thoughts have positive
effects. Sometimes they need to be directed as in
helping the body to heal or to split the astral
form from the physical body. For example, if
thoughts are able to influence the crystalline
structures of water molecules as has been
postulated and sixty percent of an average adult
consists of water, it makes perfect sense to
influence the water molecules in a positive way.
One thing I have learned in my years
working with the base members is that different
dimensions have different densities and dimensions
such as the one Ashtar has reached allows him to
appear out of thin air on the base at will. Where
then is the need for the physical body? It must be
to experience the necessary lessons that lead us
to the same dimension as Ashtar. With Karra’s
help, I’ve learned more about past lives than I
thought possible which is really the clincher in
how the connection between the physical body and
consciousness are so in tune. It’s a team effort,
all of the bodies such as the physical, astral,
mental, all under the control of the higher self,
the outer us. From a coordinated effort with each
of those would emerge an improved version of the
original. Health would be regulated by watching
what was added to fuel the vehicle, healing
thoughts would be directed at any issues that
caused concern and positive thoughts would be the
required oil to keep everything running smoothly.
Not a challenge really making it happen but one
thing should always be included as well, a bit of
humor. Maybe in the form of a hula dancer on the
dashboard?
