Flowing Realities

There are many layers, many threads that combine together to form your voices and your attentions. And it all comes together magically. And what you actually perceive, what you actually see is one of these layers. And it contains the different pathways for you to access these different layers. Just like when you go on a walk and you see different rocks, and you start moving them around, making them roll to see what’s underneath and you see all that life that was hidden in the shadow, undisturbed. But through your curiosity and your attention, combined with the light of your awareness, you start seeing everything wanting to hide or to seek refuge also. They are not so very different from you. But be assured that I won’t do that if it’s not your intention. You have to want it for it to be of benefit to you.

You didn’t want to be too distracted or to have too much information when the experience of being in a physical reality was already so different from your usual point of view, if you want. And the awareness towards which you are moving will be different, or will be accessed differently by different people. You won’t experience all the same but you will discover more of it, more of the whole, more of the possibilities offered by this playground. And this is a matter also of what interests you. Because that is what you will pay attention to, what you will gravitate to. And your preferences in relation to what layer you are interested in, be it the physical layer, the physical experience, the imagery if you want to use that word, it will give you certain types of experiences. 

And you can combine that with the other aspects of yourself, the other aspects of how you project your energy into this physical reality to generate that window that allows you to look at you from a particular angle, and configuration of space and time, and of your psychological layers, your emotional layers. And you can also open that to your other focuses, the people around you that are part of the same collective you are participating with. 

So, when you ask “is there another type or combination of awareness?”, what do you mean or how do you define yourself, your awareness? Because how you define everything will influence or will strongly determine what you will experience of it. It is not one or the other. It is not one is truer than another. It is just how do you want to experience that awareness of self? And there are many combinations, like you said. There are many possibilities. And you have room to surprise yourself in that exploration. 

So tell me, how do you define that? Your awareness.

And you can define that not as being unable to perceive the vastness or the wideness, but you can perceive that as a movement, a pendulum or your nights and days following each other. And you can also pay attention to this movement of your focus of attention that sometimes brings you closer to the physical aspects of your exploration, and sometimes brings you closer to the non-physical aspects. You can see that also as a pulsation.

Let me ask you that before. When you are in these phases of being more focused on these physical or mundane movements, what is your relationship to that?

And as you are now moving into that exploration of the vibrations and the tones and the songs behind the walls, behind the boundaries, I would encourage you to, even when you feel you are not hearing anything, to still pay attention to these songs that are always playing, that are always accompanying your stories in this world. It’s not very different from your movies. And you can listen to these undercurrents that are sustaining these surface layers to help you have this exploration. 

And what do you think is, or where do you think lies your power in that? Your power of your appreciation of generating that comfort.

How do you define power in your life?

Simplicity would be to recognize that you don’t need to change anything; but all you have to do is connect with what is bringing you what you are looking for in a particular moment. And if you are looking for simplicity, you just have to look at yourself. Because this is your natural expression. And your natural expression is also allowing your energy to flow. 

And when things start to become irritating, or when they feel [like] there is a thickness, or something is constraining, the path of the water is what would show you what’s the simplest thing to do in that moment. Water simply flows wherever it is possible for it to flow. And if it is contained then it remains still. And there is its power in stillness. And in that stillness, it can either slowly drip in the cracks of what is containing it, drip through the cracks and erode the walls that are containing it, or it can also simply evaporate, become steam, change and not be contained because it expands. 

So simplicity would be merely allowing the natural movement of your energy, without trying to condition it to what’s around you.

To help you flow in certain directions, you need limits. You need boundaries to channel or to focus your flow so that it won’t be spread too thin, or that it won’t be (pause) that it won’t become emptiness because of too much space. Boundaries are what allow you to generate your experiences. They are what allow you in physical reality to gather energy so that you can release it in strength and volume. 

And as water use that to accelerate or to become still, you can also use your environment to move in the direction of your choice. Whether you want to increase your vibration, or whether you want to slow it down and generate more stillness, more physicality, more contemplation, it requires different energy than when you want to buzz around, when you want to be excited, when you want to laugh or shout or sing. All of those are different expressions of different types of energies that generate different expressions and different experiences. And they are rendered possible because you generate those limits with your attention on what you focus upon or what you filter out. It allows you to generate these movements and these expressions. 

Most of the time, people are not aware that they can choose and that choice is directly influencing the direction where you (they) are moving towards. Your choices are, at the core, what you allow yourself to perceive of yourself in order to interact and participate in your physical reality. And the more you become aware that you have the choices, [that] you make the choices, [that] you generate your reality through your choices, you write your stories through your choices. And every aspect of your reality is a choice. 

When you become more familiar with your different types of choices, you can start to understand that you are never stuck; that you are never in a place that you haven’t chosen; that you are never looking at reality from a point of view that you haven’t chosen. But choice is different from what most people think of it. Choice is simply (pause) being a certain version of yourself. And what you project around you are ropes that can lead you to other versions of your energy, other aspects of your psyche. 

You just, for the most part, don’t realize it yet. 

And you can use these different aspects around you to move you in the direction you want. The power to do so is there. It is contained in the energy that is reflected to you. You just have to recognize [it], just as the birds feel the subtle currents in the air; just as the fish feel the subtle changes of temperature, of the quality of the water in which they are living [in]. You can perceive your reality, your entire reality, in such a way, and start paying attention to the subtle movements of your energy, the subtle movements of these vibrations. They are always moving, even when they look [as if] they are not. (pause) Are you seeing what I’m expressing to you?

Let me first give you an example of your creatures, your insects or your birds. They don’t perceive the same, they don’t perceive your world the same as you do. They have different eyes, they have different ears, they have different senses. And they are not left behind because you perceive the world in a certain way and they don’t. They are merely expressing their beingness, what they are in this moment. And the way they have configured, the way they have chosen their particular physical and psychological makeup, is quite fitted to their exploration. 

I understand that as human beings you may think that it is possible for everyone to do the same thing, to perceive the same, or to engage the same directions. But some people don’t want to go in these directions. They perceive themselves as less than. They perceive themselves as unable to expand or learn more. And this is not you who are leaving them behind. They already have, in a way, [given] up on themselves. 

What you do is simply first telling them a story. Some people resonate with certain stories, they like a certain genre, they like a certain type of settings, they like mysteries, or they like comedies, or they like horror stories. And those are the ones that make them vibrate. Those are the ones that make them feel alive. And, depending on what they have accumulated as stories in their lives, they mistake those stories for what they are allowed to do, what they can do or cannot do, and they don’t doubt that. 

They just believe that it is as it is. And they feel discouraged that they have to make efforts, because for a lot of people in your world there is this assumption that because you are a grown-up you should know, you should be able to do things, you should be complete. But you are not. You are never complete in the sense of finished. You are complete in the sense of everything, every potential is available to you. And you can express them and develop these different avenues of exploring yourselves, of knowing who you are. 

But in a singular focus you don’t have the room and the time to explore all of yourselves. And that’s why you generate the different focuses, the different probable selves, and that’s why consciousness creates essences, so to speak. Because it allows for different flavors, different stories, different expressions. 

And when you look at your physical world, it’s just as if you were looking at the ripples at the surface of the pond when you throw in some stones. You think that the ripples are important. And you try to continue to generate those ripples, the same way that they have been generated before because you don’t want to lose them. You don’t want to change them. But their nature is to change, their nature is to ripple, and to expand, and to subside [in order] to make room for the next ripples, generated through your throwing of different stones. Or maybe you can even throw yourself into the pond and generate bigger ripples. But the ripples are temporary, just like your expressions in physical reality. Some of them last longer, but they all change.
