Revised  October 23/06

Not once in my youth had I imagined the road through this life would be so consuming and circuitous.  Yet despite many obstacles, this seminal moment has arrived at the beginning of yet another adventure. And upon its cusp, grows an overpowering urge to relate a true story.  A tale so unusual to the common incredulous perspective as to seem a flight of fantasy.  Had those early choices been more clearly understood, the winding road travelled within this fragment of time would have not been so linearly defined, nor the thought of it not nearly so constrained by convention these many years.  But that is another story waiting the telling.

This journey is of a peculiar evolution, one without beginning, nor ending for that matter.  We stand upon the portal of an epoch of significant power, such that it phases an elemental force of mental clarity, more than sufficient to destroy the artificial societal constructs of this world, rendering them obsolete.  Thus we set foot upon a path largely forgotten in these modern times; a path which promises intellectual freedom to humans, on all levels of consciousness  Leaving in its wake, a planet where citizens are truly united, as once they lived to the glory of unified mind throughout all of awareness.  The good part is, the only price of admission you will ever pay, is the sublimation of your societal inculcated incredulity for the duration of this tract. That, and a willingness to contemplate the universe as it awaits discovery, without the odious constructs of previous inculcated convictions.

Many are actively involved in anomaly research.  However, do so from within current Newtonian scientific thought.  And thus, are further constrained by personal biases developed during their early years.  As are all citizens of distinct communities constricted by standards inculcated through normal social intercourse.  What is surprising, given the enormous pressure for individual conformity to societal norms, is that occasional significant discoveries, usually by those living Adouble lives, so to speak.  Given that the research of anomaly, whether in the hard sciences, or theoretical disciplines, is governed by orthodoxy disseminated through peer review as expressed through tenured scholastics.

 
The convergence of modern quantum physics with ancient metaphysical thought is one such example which leads to a multiplicity of divergent - and apocryphal - societal evolutionary paths.  Though much of the research based upon Newtonian laws is carried out with integrity and honestly arrived at personal beliefs, there remains an absence of sustained, and connected research into aspects of societal consciousness which might give rise to humanity's unbiased awareness of what we label Aanomaly.

In this present work, it is our will to present a consciously sustainable foundation upon which we will construct a primary understanding of a new (to modern society) and serial relationship between anomaly and consciousness.  Or perhaps more to the point, how we might use anomaly as an indicator of expanded consciousness.

Therefore, these early efforts will revolve around a discussion of basic precepts governing the appearance and resolution of anomaly, enabling us, so-to-speak, to peer behind the illusory nuts and bolts of anomaly.  In this way, we are able to form consensus as to the nature of human perception. And further, indications how consensus may be utilized to erect a sustainable engine for the integration of all previous effort toward the unification of consciousness.  In so doing, we may begin to share common understanding as to what is happening when anomaly intrudes upon awareness, and how that new understanding becomes part of our societal awareness, and its prerogative to enrich human progress toward a new cosmology, inclusive of a profound appreciation of a fully integrated consciousness.

These initial efforts will be most profitable if we clearly define what is meant by anomaly, and define its effect upon consciousness.  Alternatively, and perhaps salient to the point: how consciousness forces attention to the presence of phenomena outside our normal range of perception.  And also, what are the personal reasons for these seeming deviations?

For example, consider that it is safe for us to agree upon the apparent reality that atypical UFO phenomena are not universally perceived (if at all) at the personal or organizational level.  Quite simply, there is no apparent societal norm for the study of UFO anomaly (that which stands apart from institutionalized science to form a body of information for which there is no observational standard).  When such extra-phenomenal occurrences do manage a disruption of awareness, human beings most often see and interpret such permutations from an arbitrary and highly personal world view.  This personal point of view has been developed from birth, governed by family biases inculcated from their historical and hierarchical position within society, and by the contradictory conditions of societal existence, as developed by governments and educationally imposed by social engineers.

 More precisely to our point, we might all now agree from previous observations, that multiple observers tend to recall anomalistic events from within the safety of personal comfort zones.  Thus, we each apply a predetermined methodology, giving rise to details substantively different, but all intimately flavoured by current societal directions.  Even when viewed under similar circumstances: time, place, size, space, colour, movement, &etc, these societal differences are systemic due to the nature of societal indoctrination which uses such observances as a means of control.  It is well‑established fact that witnesses relating details of a UFO anomaly to researchers after some lapse of time, observe many basic points of convergence, but are often disparate in the finer details.  Later interviews often include a broad range of collateral recollections undisclosed during initial interviews.  It is also interesting to note that some witnesses present during the initial anomaly occurrence, with the utmost of conviction, swear they saw nothing of interest.  Others dramatise the details of their sketchy first recollections to include obviously embellished detail.  Competent researchers expend considerable effort toward the recovery of collaborating details from which they hope to construct reasonable theories.

If you have a copy of AWhat The Bleep Do We Know? produced by Captured Light Distributions and Lord of the Wind and starring Marlee Matlin, with discussions by several quantum physicists, now may be a good point in our discussions to review the segment which discusses the arrival of Columbus' ships off-shore the Americas.  You may recall the inability on the part of local natives to see them until pointed out by a shaman who has learned to see the ships only after gradually becoming aware of anomalous oceanic disturbances.  The native population's previous societal conditioning did not allow direct perception of the ships because they were separated from knowledge of such constructs.

In current society, police detectives have long realized the importance of individualized first impressions.  They seek to identify and separately question crime scene witnesses immediately upon entering a crime scene, often before starting their physical investigations.  They know from prior experience it is human nature to remember events directly related to their own areas of interest and societal biases.  Witnesses will use prior personal experience, reinforced through societal conditioning (one's assumed station in life), and centre their conclusions within what they consider as a psychologically safe zone.  The longer the apparent time separating a witness from a crime scene, greater is the probability that these personal preferences and biases will begin colouring their recollections.

Therefore, when faced with a number of witnesses, knowledgeable investigators piece together all collaborating evidence, which allow them to present educated guesses during their determinations as to what has actually occurred at a crime scene.  With this investigative technique, scientific methods of deduction enable criminologists to reconstruct the most probable scenarios.  However, often there are missing facts, important testimonial anomalies that prevent specialists from arriving at a desired consensus.  In such cases, the investigation may abruptly end, and the case moved to the Acold files repository, awaiting resurrection should they become in possession of additional evidence.  Thus, we have our fist important key as to the nature of anomaly, and its use as a integrating tool for consciousness and social evolution.

 

THE ROLE OF SOCIETY IN ANOMALY RESEARCH

To reiterate the obvious, society is not a static arrangement of peoples, but is highly proactive and deliberate in its development and manifestation.  Society dictates how citizens will interact with one another and with larger (possibly unseen) communities of interest.  To maintain respectability and deemed successful by their peers, each person makes compromises in their adaptation to societal evolution.  No matter at what point in life research begins, for the most part it proves impossible to isolate the underlying social imperative from whom we are, or what we will accomplish within the dictates of this umbrella imperative.  Thus, anomalistic exceptions to the rules of social perception invariably bring the individual face to face with the many contradictions in life, and may even force persons to question the ultimate aims of society.  From this observation, we can draw preliminary conclusions as to the relative importance of anomaly within a dynamic and evolving society, as opposed to a stagnant society, concerned only with immediate, and ever‑increasing restrictions to personal freedoms.

Consider that last statement.  Society is generally restrictive; it arbitrarily restricts a person's perception of self through adherence to set rules of behaviour and normalcy.  These may be termed, the flavour of a society, or its unique character.  This overriding pattern dictates the collective response to reality and accompanying anomalous stimuli.  Over generations, these responses become archetypal, representing the apparent historical facts driving society toward new goals, new ideas of nationhood, and concepts defining personal freedoms.  Knowing this, we can now better agree how it is that society demands individual compliance to its rules and why it must utilize mind control techniques to enforce uniformity.

It is important that anomaly researchers fully understand and agree upon the role of societal restraints, and how our interaction with the larger world community is framed within inculcated societal rules.  This early learning and training assumes the aspects of a living, sentient entity, which are attributed to the conscious mind as its main window for viewing reality.  Within this entity, we each possess socially dictated personal space, from which all apparent actions emanate.  Nevertheless, even within this social umbrella, we find that our narrowly defined needs of self awareness are often expanded, and at other times constricted by the superior demands (propagandized mind-set) of the wider global community.

To be brutally clear about this, modern society has evolved as an organism dedicated to the application of a thin veneer of perceived freedoms, predicated upon the maintenance of law and order, within a hierarchal society.  It extends to all adherents a strict set of rules and laws, all religiously maintained for the public "good", and vigorously enforced.  Society controls all aspects of an individual's life through its lawmakers.  From the regulation of safety gear you wear when riding your 10-speed bike, to the piloting of an airliner, or who and when the privileged journey into space, or what establishments you may visit, or do commerce with.  Society dictates where and in what manner you will cross streets, the safety of electrical appliances in your household, the hours you work, what you will eat or drink, how fast and where you must drive the family vehicle and the intervals between war and peace.  We seldom appreciate the interconnectedness of it all, accepting it as necessary for the maintenance of personal safety and well being. Beneath this veneer of acceptability, interconnected through every facet of society, extends a malicious imperative toward law and order, religious belief, the nature of schooling, social groups, recreational activities, sexual relationships and public morality.  Social controllers prepare you from birth to fulfill certain requirements.

<>You might reasonably argue, "It's a small price to pay for the privilege of living in relative security.  Our only option would be anarchy, or dictatorship.  I suggest that this is more restrictive to the human spirit than anything we experience in most Western democratic societies . . . "

Generally speaking, that seems a fair and honest statement.  We must observe societal morals and jurisprudence in order to remain gainfully employed, and enjoy within precisely defined social layers the benefits of peaceful residence.  You have probably not considered the evolutionary process in this manner.  Yet that does not negate the fact that society processes, and thereby controls, every human being for beliefs and social acceptability.  Within our acquiescence to a wilfully projected linear perception - birth to death - we march relentlessly to the societal pulse, as certainly as we do our circadian rhythms.  Humans have collectively agreed to limit themselves to a system, and in process, have managed to suppress all conscious concerns in the matter.  But the wounded mind is very much aware of a different model. And though that knowledge is suppressed, seemingly beyond recall, seldom are we at ease with life as expressed through our isolated cosmology.

Mostly, this modeling is a rather benign attack upon consciousness, subtly layering new rules and regulations upon our need to remain part of a social family, all designed to keep us just a little out of sync with the flow of life; catching up, repetitious.

For most humans, the main problem becomes a question of restriction, and exclusion from wider communities of interest outside the range of "normal" human interaction.  It is achieved through the narrowing of spiritual consciousness, instilling a limited and controlled responsiveness in place of limitless freedom.  The continual reinforcement of state sanctioned and licensed religious beliefs, "normal" mental states, and "normal" social intercourse.  Through all of its permutations, society places great emphasis on being "normal" throughout the course of life, with little, if any, serious thought by anyone as to what might be in absolute terms, a normal sentient being.

Very little sustained consideration is given the possibility that a society of immortal individuals may have at some point been perverted from what was a universally valid and integrated society, toward a more isolated, and restricted view of the universal and our role within that community.  Also, that these immortally oriented ancestors, once endowed within an integrated universal consciousness, have subsequently devolved from an intimate sharing of the universe with other sentient species - dimensionally and interdimensionally - to assume a spiritually limited linear progression, made increasingly critical by the perceived shortness of a "normal" life-span.

It is the primary purpose of this tract to advocate an overthrow of social systems, and overtly criticize world societal developments, as suggested throughout this work.  However, it will best serve our immediate purposes to consider and understand societal averaging, which sole purpose is the entraining of humans - both individually and collectively - how best to respond to sensation, and by extension, our place in the universe.  This primary conditioning provides impetus, or lack thereof, for the human comprehension of archetypal anomaly, and, by extension, life in general.

 

MAN'S FALL FROM GRACE

 

To better illustrate this point-of-view, let us for the moment consider the Christian dogma delineating "man's fall from grace.  For the moment, let us consider "the fall" as a psychological, or better, a philosophical metaphor and secular precept, rather than assignment of any religious meaning.  It may then be possible for us to postulate a human state prior to the human "fall from grace", within which awareness humanity was more directly attuned with a fuller awareness of reality; perhaps through an intimate sharing of consciousness common to all sentient beings not now appreciated.  Such universal community would certainly have developed along different lines than is evidenced in our current social models.  Due to pervasive subconscious scripting, primarily through the modern media, we find it is extremely difficult to appreciate that consciousness is in some manner constricted, and that there exists a missing dimension within humanity.  This missing element is his relentless search for the unification of mental or spiritual processes, or removal of our blocked awareness of the full human potential.

Ample evidence exists to demonstrate that we where once more spiritually connected one to another through a unifying mechanism no longer operational, or more likely, unremembered by modern man (forced societal amnesia- mind control).  Persons of Agenius, spiritually integrated persons (shamans) with expanded perception/awareness, are indicative.  This connectedness we may define as the "collective subconscious" - not so narrowly configured as suggested by Jung -, as opposed to our waking, or limited and communally predefined or "objective consciousness".  Explicitly, there is a natural, expansive, and more expressive consciousness, less human orientated, than is currently experienced.  In this aspect of awareness we discuss the conscious and subconscious minds, now viewed as separate functions of mind, as being fully integrated to singularity.  One mind, or a universal medium of exchange, if you will, untainted by modern societal perversions.  It sounds almost religious: Universality of God's Mind.  A concept suggesting to us, that there is no real division of consciousness, constrained only by that limited awareness which, as modern humans, we have devolved to embrace.  This societal alternative (acquired objective consciousness) burdens us with the inability to focus attention beyond the socially induced tunnel vision of applied materialistic or three‑dimensional reality, roughly expressed as linear progression.

Readers who have continued to this point should have no difficulty agreeing with the statement: The human spirit extends far beyond issues of lawful abeyance, and rigidly structured political, religious and educational tenets.  Most open-minded readers will also concede that at some point man has "fallen from grace", a state which he strives to regain.  He intuitively senses that he has become in some manner diminished, less consciously expressive than in his natural state of awareness.  That emptiness is the division of mind, that brief delay between conscious and subconscious functions wherein human awareness is controlled .

If we were to examine reality from a truly non‑sectarian point of view, it would be possible for us, at least in our consideration of anomaly and its role within an extended community, to move beyond our societal conditioning.  Perhaps it would be prudent for us to not only consider anomaly research from the perspective of hard science, but also as a spiritual quest, a multi‑dimensional activity for the discovery of a conscious concordance within humanity.  Certainly, there is every reason to believe that our sentient potential is far beyond that currently demonstrated by the majority of the human race.  Consider: genius is the rule, rather than the exception.  It is only our imperfect ideation of what our mind is aware preventing us from a higher standard of intelligence.  We simply do not believe that we are capable of operating at a higher level, and therefore settle for mediocrity.

 

THE QUESTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Generally speaking, humans fail to demonstrate mental activity beyond that of a machine.  They have become part of the governing educational system, which reduces awareness to the lowest common denominator.  There are exceptions, which is detailed in a later section.  At that point we will explore what sets certain racial characteristics and classes of peoples apart from commonplace society.

But let's continue the current thought.

Less aware individuals consider anomalous awareness as "out of the ordinary", and therefore suspect.  This has been very deliberately inculcated, and through fear and ridicule is the major enabler of societal control.  On one end of the systemic governing scale of normalcy we have genius, and at the other end, what is referred to as retardation or more recently, mentally challenged.  Thus, we find the majority of people positioned somewhere between these two extremes.  We have racially embraced the belief that genius is exceptional, rather than the norm.  Acceptance determines the degree of consciousness retardation from that maxim.

We could logically expect that children raised in a community free of any form of indoctrination designed to limit self‑worth, and confirm to them their extraordinary status within a multi-dimensional universe, will demonstrate extra‑normal social intercourse, and mental abilities.  Whilst at the other extreme, those raised convinced of personal restrictions, and whose sole purpose is to seek predictable acceptance within the larger society, will express a restricted range of mental abilities, and be more dependant upon social programs.  Positive reinforcement of one's concept of consciousness as an unrestricted connection between self‑awareness and universal awareness will eventually result in what we recognize as superior consciousness.  It is important we understand that this has nothing to do with race.  We are talking about an underlying, restrictive and conditional basis of cognizance.  Those conditions are the only reasons we externalize differences, not only within societal groups, but also within so-called racial divisions.

What could have possibly happened to introduce a spiritual constriction, or impaired consciousness?  There are many theories.  However, one only global experience could fully account for the anomaly.  It involves absolute horror, depravity and paralysing shock on a global scale, and ancillary destabilizing of the natural electromagnetic flux necessary for the full expression of consciousness.  It is not necessary in this introduction to go into the process in detail.  A study of the Aztec blood rituals (which modern archaeology has yet to fully understand), the global atrocities of WWII, the utter demoralization and depravity of the dark ages, the impaling of people through the anus upon stakes by the Egyptians in dynastic Egypt, crucifixion, and the horrors of modern pharmaceutical interrogation and mind control, provides us with some pale example of the horror.  There is also the possibility that mankind has been interfered with by alien species.  The process is intricately woven into our stories of hell and damnation.  But there is other than physical pain, there is also unacknowledged spiritual anguish accruing from our suppressed awareness of connection to immortality, leaving man cocooned within his self imposed physical isolation, face to face with a seemingly lifeless, cold, uncaring universe.

It does not have to be so.

To understand what we mean by psychic pain, it is first necessary for you to accept that mind control is endemic to society.  A basic book I would recommend is, AHidden Persuaders by Vance Packard, which is very readable.  Although dated, it explores the process advertisers utilize to lock key images into your subconscious to influence the way you view products and what you buy when you shop.  The book was written in the 1950s, so you can well imagine how far the science has advanced over the years. Even back then, governmental and military mind control techniques were far in advance of public advertising.

Before we continue, it is important for you to understand and accept that we are very much the product of both external and internal forces massaging our thoughts, shaping our expressed and repressed emotions, even to the extent of implanting false memories.  We have heavily institutionalized the process of mind control since the beginning of the twentieth century.  All media have but one goal, and that is to enforce societal conformity to multilevel law and order, inculcation of a flexible morality, fear of change, and a short attention span.  A brief review of the texts mentioned in our bibliography will serve to convince most of the insidious nature of consciousness programming with detrimental effects upon our connection to the subconsciousness, or universal mind.  All of which contributes to the averaging of mental abilities, and serves to ensure a large workforce and adequate military recruits. 

One could do worse than carefully study the mind control industry, with its connection to military/industrial alliances, politicians and the privileged rich.  You should pay particular attention to specific instances of violence, war, or antisocial behaviour.  With some modest expenditure of effort, you will discern the web of mental control and deceit woven throughout the fabric of society.  It is hard work at first, requiring a determined will, and an open mind.  Maintain attention when listening to, watching, or in the reading of current events.  It becomes easier as you begin to find the connections, or "triggers" urging you act in certain ways, and under certain conditions.  As mentioned earlier, advertising is the most obvious.

In our modern society these mind control imperatives are impossible to ignore, and difficult to recognize; manifesting as habits, urges that we ascribe to personal preferences, or weaknesses.  However, not always for the reason you may believe.  What we have is specifically designed conditioning, whose sole intent is to reinforce and maintain societal and evolutional direction.  Certainly, as indicated in the Mein Kampf quote in our bibliography, world leaders have long known how to control humankind through media manipulation and disinformation, and prior to the 19th century, by outright oppression and depravity.

All countries understood and practised mind control in the years leading up to WWII.  It is also the main tool of organized religion, and New Age movements (all faiths and philosophies), but most particularly, the Roman Catholic Church.  With the ending of WWII, mind control became institutionalized within such projects as the Philadelphia and Montauk programs (linked projects).  Now in the twenty first century, leaders have finely honed the process and implemented predictable models of social evolution.  These tactics include what we term societal aberrations, or control through the strategic use of violence and false definitions of so-called abnormal mental conditions, and destabilized economics, maintained through the general waste of a country's resources, and increasing global indebtedness.  Now is as good time as any to review The Report on Iron Mountain found on the Anomalog site: http://www.anomalog.com/index4.html

A study of history reveals that propagandists have been with us from the dawn of this current rebuilding of civilization.  In the beginning, it was mainly the prerogative of the strongest element within a tribe, which responsibility was eventually delegated to the priesthood.  It was their job it was to keep subjects under control through a deeply instilled fear of the unknown.  A fear that would eventually lead to dichotomy within humanity, and a splitting of consciousness in twain, keeping both (perceived) aspects of consciousness in constant turmoil, and in constant search of healing and reunion.

Notably, after the death of Tutankhamen, and during the reign of Horemheb at the end of the Eighteenth Dynasty (circa 1,400 BC) we find the beginnings of institutionalized mind control.  Dating from around the 3rd Century AD, the Roman Church has been, mainly in Europe and North America, the foremost champion of mind control.  In other parts of the world variations of political and religious fundamentalism serves the same purposes.  Jesuit storm troopers have traditionally enforced the western pogroms.  Their societal ties stretch back into the Egyptian Eighteenth Dynasty.  In fact, we can make a solid argument for the continuation of the Solar God and Dying God traditions into the modern era within the Roman Catholic Church.  A recommended read, if you have not already done so, is AThe Golden Bough by Sir James Fraser.

Whilst early religions exercised mind control to regulate the learned and political elite, it remained relatively centralized, as it was not necessary to control the proletariat.  They were for the most part uneducated, concerned only with staying alive, and had relatively few resources available to oppose established law and order.  Institutionalized, large scale opinion modification experimentation to keep in check, or shift political and sociological evolution is a modern phenomenon.  It was made necessary by an increasingly literate population, who unlike their medieval ancestors would normally have no difficulty moving beyond restrictive influences; if only they were allowed the opportunity.

We did not fully understand this manipulative power prior to the First World War, and but for military purposes, its potential went largely undeveloped.  The open study of propaganda is even more recent.  Apart from a few pioneering works at the turn of the century there is very little documentation prior to 1930 available to the average citizen.

The use of black operations technology (Black Ops), earth and space based electromagnetic manipulation of conscious reality, remote biometrics, etc., have not yet been publicly explored to any great extent, except on the internet and some few books and reports directed at a very exclusive audience.  Certainly, the limited anomaly research that has taken place has lacked central coordination, and is often left to conspiracy buffs. And they generally have no real interest in anomalistic phenomena outside of using available evidence to further their attacks on NASA and JPL, or government in general.  To be brutally honest, conspiracy advocates look at the problem from too narrow a perspective (usually from a victim's perspective).  Thus, they fail to establish the necessary links connecting their problems to a wider range of aberrations and constrictions in human awareness giving rise to the anomalies.

Thus, during our further determinations upon the nature of anomaly, we must always be clearly cognizant of this fact: due to societal imprinting, the greater population has very little interest in, nor understanding of propaganda and its attendant mind control objectives.  The serious researcher must be fully familiar from where his conscious perception of reality derives, and how it is seasoned by one's knowledge and standing within society.  If you are ever to decipher the message anomaly brings to us within this framework, it must be from a point-of-view trained to see beyond the societal veneer of our everyday lives.  You must be willing to peer into the centre of God and see yourself reflected back into awareness of this world reality.

A VASTLY DIFFERENT WORLD

In the introduction, we outlined the process, beginning with birth, through which we are trained to observe the world from within a family unit.  Obviously, this family unit is part of a communal family, which in turn is part of a larger state or continental family.  Thus, quite literally, the whole of Earth is linked by and witnessed through family units who agree to be influenced by community standards.  These standards are further directed by national and global standards.

As a part of the global family, we can easily agree that arbitrary factors are introduced that influence individual choices ‑ social and antisocial in nature ‑ apparently working for and against the generally applied law and order, which have been established and subsequently maintained by powerful, primary societal groups.  It may be best for us to consider these arbitrary factors as deliberately designed "tools", whose primary use is for the maintenance of a world-wide agenda based loosely upon mind control, and individually focussed through familial intercourse.  Which agenda, as we have observed, remain linked around the globe into one large family for purposes of propaganda and mind control

Why, do you suppose, society would deliberately create antisocial traits within its members?  Briefly, antisocial programming is designed to create confusion, or focal points; focal discords, contributing to stress within family units, and by extension, society at large.  Thus, conscious awareness of reality is kept always out of sync, misdirected so to speak.  The problem is that it is subconscious, and the primary cause is seldom consciously considered.  Most families (societies) understand there is something out of whack, but most often ascribe it to mental or other health conditions, which leaves most members of the family considering themselves somehow blessed that they are Anormal.

Freed of the stresses introduced into society by war and unending police actions, with their attendant crime and brutality, consciousness becomes focussed upon its underlying, and primary basis of expression, and therefore more difficult to control.  Fear, at one level or another, arbitrarily binds societal families together into a cohesive and highly controllable group.<> This is a unique perspective on mind control.  Clearly, although not generally recognized by populations, its main tenet being the control of large populations through fear of censure.  Certainly, no sane being would work his entire life within a hierarchal social structure designed to financially enslave him, and voluntarily submit to supporting the superior lifestyles of the top twenty percent of society who control every facet of his/her life.It works because members of a larger controlling group stake their survival upon continuance of the system.  The lower societal levels at a very early age come to believe that work, protection and feeding of family, religion, politics, all creature comforts, and reasonable expectation of its continuance throughout a normal life span, only become obtainable through support of prevalent systems of morality and justice.  It follows then, societal control is the main reason wars and other acts of mayhem continue to plague humanity.  Peace and harmony should be achievable on a global scale with the removal of fear from the equation, and when consciousness is given unrestricted free play to explore and demonstrate the fullness of awareness, wherever that may arise.

Political differences exist for purposes of providing this exterior view of a divided and bordered world, one in constant conflict, due to political and religious turmoil.  Most sociologists and political scientists will vigorously deny this previous statement.  They will argue that the evolution of man, separated by continents, bodies of water and tribal seclusion, developed slowly throughout history to produce our modern geopolitical landscapes.  They will also argue that, at heart and in mind, men are not far removed from our prehistoric ancestors. http://www.anomalog/evolution.html .  Can such a statement be true?  Are we are indeed just recently conscious of the universe and of ourselves as separate entities?  Consider.

 Within the last few years, orthodox archaeology has increasingly come under attack. One of the more important works is "The Hidden History of the Human Race: Forbidden Archaeology", by Michael Cremo and Richard L. Thompson.   While it has an under theme of Hinduism, and seeks to prove the authors belief in a human race stretching back millions of years, it presents a plethora of evidence that the archaeological record has been, quite literally, fudged to fit contemporary establishment theory, designed more to ensure tenured lifestyles than any degree of honesty and revelation.

There exists hidden away in museums and in private collections, artefacts which don't fit the popular theory of evolution   which popularly places the advent of modern man a little over 12,000 years ago.  Further, relegates all previous inhabitants as near humans, without civilized structure and sentient beings only slightly intellectually superior to apes.  I have outlined this briefly in an attempt to demonstrate that our world has many peculiarities that are not always apparent, unless we move far enough outside our normal attention spaces to include the anomalous.  It is in the seeing of what should not be there, possibly for the first time, that we might experience and appreciate the truly miraculous.

We are dealing with windows of consciousness.  Windows long closed by peer review, the reinforced incredulity that blinds us for the most part, as to what we are able to be psychologically aware.  Through all the years of our lives, we appear to walk a linear path from birth to death, more dead than alive: AThere are those who are dead and buried in the ground, whilst others are dead yet walking around . . .

To illustrate, here is a portion of a recent discussion.  It very simply illustrates what we've discussed above.  A. . . In my approach, I consider peer review in a more sociological setting, one placing each of us in a particular role.  As such, nothing we do is ever free from censorship.  However, the idea of volunteers is aptly noted.  We are all "unwilling" volunteers, scripted by peer review at all level.  Thus, the neighbours to either side believe that only yellow jellybeans should be eat.  Whilst I, in the middle think, only red ones are eatable.  They have lived all their lives in their belief that only yellow ones should be eaten, so that now they see only yellow beans no matter what variety may exist in reality.  When I tell them that the red ones are better, they cannot see them, thus I am oddly confused.  In addition, they, in a most friendly manner, set out to convince me there are no red jellybeans in this world . . .

 We find this base level peer review mirrored throughout all levels of society, to the extent that no one really has an overview as to what is real and what is not.  We learn this from birth . . . it is a function of restricted attention, or what some have termed "divided consciousness", and also represents the veil through which magic is performed.

In science the yellow jellybeans are theories, and the red ones anything tending to detract from, or throw into question, the yellow jellybean theories.

One other short example should suffice:  A couple of years ago in Sudbury, a Canadian city in the Province of Ontario, the annual fall fair was playing out in a park just outside the main community.  At one point during the late afternoon, a father, at the incessant urging of his son, looked up to where he was pointing, and saw a whitish object in the sky.  Together they stood motionless, watching as it drifted lazily across the blue sky.  After a minute or so elapsed, someone approached and asked the man what he and his son were looking at.  The father pointed out the object.  The new spectator was unable to see anything, even when repeatedly pointed out to him.  Other people gathered and strained their eyes while attempting to see what the father and son observed.  Not one other person who approached was able to see anything out of the ordinary.  Therefore, they slowly disbursed, wondering what was wrong with the father and son that they could see something that so obviously wasn't there.  Friends and other family members jostled them and joked about eating magic mushrooms.

Nevertheless, the man stood his ground, resolute in support of his son, and convinced in the reality of the anomalous observation they had apparently shared.  There has to date been no explanation as to what they could have seen, and certainly, no answer to the question, why it was invisible to others.

Focussed Perception   A Simplified Unified Consciousness

The Question of Unified Perception

Unified Consciousness has been represented throughout the ages under many guises.  Most recent expressions have been through the New Age movements, and as remote viewing, channelling, etc., etc.  Unfortunately, most have failed to impart any degree of sustained Aawakening, and the public consciousness remains firmly and effectively controlled.  This is the primary design of most organizations.  It is in the interest of those in control, that the plurality of humans remains consciously divided in spirit and body. <>Concordant with these aims, achievement of any degree of understanding by the most of students involved in the study of consciousness is most often a drawn out, largely unsuccessful process.  It is my understanding the problem derives from lack of grounding within a physical framework leading to understanding as to what we mean by Unified Consciousness.  Throughout this work, we will work together to achieve an understanding as to why most systems do not work, and eventually demonstrate one way leading to successful integration of consciousness on all levels of awareness.

We now find ourselves at a point in our journey together that allows us too fully explore the physical foundations (created awareness) of Unified Consciousness.   In doing so, we will discover together how it is that the physical parallels the spiritual, or perhaps better, the mental abilities of humans . . . that which is not fixed from birth, but is transmutable and infinitely expandable (or infinitesimally compressed) as is the inherent nature of human creation.  Most grow up thinking there is a natural separation between our spiritual and physical selves.  Further, that we can never absolutely reconcile these theorized two states of existence.  However, are doomed to live life in ignorance and communication of our spiritual counterpart, catching only brief glimpses of its pale reflection through a mirror darkly.

We are most all aware of the metaphysical adage, "as above, so below."  Yet few of us seldom fully comprehend its meaning.  As we continue in these discussions, we will demonstrate that the parallels between the physical and spiritual (matter and energy) are more reflective than you have previously believed.  Our controlled destiny is to search for mystical, arcane meanings where none exists, and to let others fill in the blanks of our ignorance with their own misunderstandings of human society and mental/spiritual potential.

Over the course of our journey together exploring the nature of consciousness, we have begun to investigate the basic nature of who we are at our most basic design.  That is, we are a dual personality seeking unity.  At the physical level, we unify our actions through two separate brains (left and right hemispheres).  Over the course of our development, we have learned to unitize communications between the two brains (hemispheres) with our main objective being to effect our integration into society.  Seldom do we fully activate the enormous potential of our mind through a full integration.  Were we to so do, genius would be the norm, rather than the exception.

Our goal then, is to demonstrate this unity within our concept of physical reality. And in so doing, we extend that accomplishment into universal and multidimensional realms, where we become inclusive of a wider community of interest.  Pointedly, the most important design we may undertake, is to demonstrate the relationship of consciousness at the physical level (social awareness), with consciousness at the spiritual (universal awareness).  Immediately we are successful at reconciling a point of awareness where that is accomplished, we will have arrived together in unity of awareness.

PART TWO

FORMULATING A BASIS FOR UNIFIED CONSCIOUSNESS TROUGH STUDY OF THE HUMAN BRAIN

LET'S GET PHYSICAL

Seen from above, the human brain resembles the halves of a walnut - two similar appearing, convoluted, rounded halves connected at the centre.  The two halves are called the Aleft hemisphere and the Aright hemisphere.

The human nervous system is connected to the brain in a crossed-over fashion.  The left hemisphere controls the right side of our body; the right hemisphere controls the left side.  If you suffer a stroke or accidental brain damage to the left half of your brain, for example, the right half of your body will be most seriously affected and vice versa.  Because of this crossing over of the nerve pathways, the left hand is connected to the right hemisphere; the right hand to the left hemisphere.

Because speech and language are so closely linked to thinking, reasoning, and the higher mental functions that set human beings apart from the other creatures of this world, nineteenth-century scientists named the left hemisphere the dominant or major hemisphere; the right brain, the subordinate or minor hemisphere.  The general view, which prevailed until fairly recently, was that the right half of the brain was less advanced, less evolved than the left half - a mute twin with lower-level capabilities, directed and carried along by the verbal left hemisphere.A long-time focus of nueroscientific study has been the functions, unknown until fairly recently, of a thick nerve cable composed of millions of fibres that cross-connect the two cerebral hemispheres.  This connecting cable is the corpus callosum.  Because of its large size, tremendous number of nerve fibres, and strategic location as a connector of the two hemispheres, the corpus callosum gave all the appearance of being an important structure.  Yet enigmatically, available evidence indicated that the corpus callosum could be completely severed without observable significant effect.

Subsequently, it was established that the corpus callosum provides communication between the two hemispheres and to allow transmission of memory and learning.  Both hemispheres are involved in higher cognitive functioning; with each half of the brain specialized in complementary fashion for different modes of thinking, both highly complex. Tests by a Cal Tech group provided surprising new evidence that each hemisphere, in a sense, perceives its own reality - or perhaps better stated, perceives reality in its own way.  The verbal half of the brain - the left half - dominates most of the time in individuals with intact brains as well as in split-brain patients.  Using ingenious procedures, however, the Cal Tech group tested the patients separated right hemispheres and found evidence that the right, non-speaking half of the brain also experiences, responds with feelings, and processes information on its own.  In our own brains, with intact corpus callosa, communication between the hemispheres melds or reconciles the two perceptions, thus preserving our sense of being one person, a unified being.

Further research demonstrated that the two modes of processing tend to interfere with each other, preventing maximal performance; and it was suggested that this may be a rationale for the evolutionary development of asymmetry in the human brain - as a means of keeping the two different modes of processing in two different hemispheres.

As a result of these extraordinary findings over the past fifteen years, we now know that despite our normal feeling that we are one person - a single being - our brains are double, each half with its own way of knowing, its own way of perceiving external reality.  In a manner of speaking, each of us has two brains, apparently controlling separate states of consciousness, mediated and integrated by the connecting cable of fibres between the hemispheres.  In some manner, each hemisphere keeps knowledge from the other hemisphere.  This is important, and is a very specific metaphor, representing further extensions of consciousness.

Parallel Ways of Knowing intellect      Intuition convergent     divergent digital              analogical secondary      primary abstract          concrete directed           free propositional   imaginative analytic             relational lineal                 nonlinear rational              intuitive sequential         multiple analytic              holistic objective           subjective successive        simultaneous

To reiterate, we have a double brain with two ways of knowing.  The dualities and differing characteristics of the two halves of the brain and body, intuitively expressed in our language, have a real basis in the physiology of the human brain.  Because the connecting fibres are intact in normal brains, we rarely experience at a conscious level conflicts revealed by the tests on split-brain patients.  Ironically, split-brain patients most aptly demonstrate the divisions of consciousness realized as we move beyond the physical models of awareness.

The left hemisphere analyses over time. The verbal half of the brain - the left half - dominates most of the time in individuals with intact brains as well as in split-brain patients. On the other hand, we have a second way of knowing: the right-hemisphere mode. We see things in this mode that may be imaginary - existing only in the minds eye - or recall things that may be real (can you image your front door, for example?).  We see how things exist in space and how the parts go together to make up the whole.  Using the right hemisphere, we understand metaphors, we dream, we create new combinations of ideas.  When something is too complex to describe, we can make gestures that communicate.  Psychologist David Galin has a favourite example: try to describe a spiral staircase without making a spiral gesture.  Using the right hemisphere we are able to draw pictures of our perceptions.<><>In the right-hemisphere mode of information processing, we use intuition and have leaps of insight - moments when Aeverything seems to fall into place without figuring things out in a logical order.  When this occurs, people often spontaneously exclaim, I've got it or "Ah, yes, now I see the picture."  The classic example of this kind of exclamation is the exultant cry, Eureka! (I have found it!), attributed to Archimedes.  According to the story, Archimedes experienced a flash of insight while bathing that enabled him to formulate his principle of using the weight of displaced water to determine the weight of solid objects.<>This, then, is the right-hemisphere mode.  This is also, the disdained, weak, mode which in our culture has been generally ignored.  For example, most of our educational system has been designed to cultivate the verbal rational, on-time left hemisphere, while half of the brain of every student is virtually neglected.

With their sequenced verbal and numerical classes, the schools you and I attended were not equipped to teach the right-hemisphere mode.  The right hemisphere is not, after all, under very good verbal control.  You seemingly cant reason with it.  You cant get it to make logical propositions such as, this is good and that is bad, for a, b, and c reasons.  It is metaphorically left-handed, with all the ancient connotations of that characteristic.  The right hemisphere is not good at sequencing - doing the first thing first, taking the next step, then the next.  It may start anywhere, or take everything at once.  Furthermore, the right hemisphere has not a good sense of time and does not seem to comprehend what is meant by the term Awasting time as does the good, sensible left hemisphere.  The right brain is not good at categorizing and naming.  It seems to regard the thing as-it-is, at the present moment of the present; seeing things for what they simply are, in all of their awesome, fascinating complexity.  It is not good at analysing and abstracting salient characteristics.

Even today, though educators are increasingly concerned with the importance of intuitive and creative thought, school systems in general are still structured in the left-hemisphere mode.  Teaching is sequenced: Students progress through grades one, two, three, etc., in a linear direction.  The main areas of study students engage are verbal and numerical: reading, writing, and arithmetic, converge on memorized answers.  Teachers give out grades.  And everyone senses that something is amiss, but have no idea how they might fill the intellectual void.  The right brain - the dreamer, the artificer, the artist - is lost in our school system and goes largely untaught.  We might find a few art or shop classes, something called Acreative writing, and perhaps courses in music; but its unlikely that we would find courses in imagination, in visualization, in perceptual or spatial skills, in creativity as a separate subject, in intuition, in inventiveness.  Yet educators value these skills and have apparently hoped that students would develop imagination, perception, and intuition as natural consequences of training in verbal, analytic skills.

Fortunately, such development often does occur almost in spite of the school system - a tribute to the survival capacity of the right brain.  But the emphasis of our culture is so strongly slanted toward rewarding left-brain skills that we are surely losing a very large proportion of the potential ability of the other halves of our childrens brains.  Scientist Jerre Levy has said - only partly humorously - that American scientific training through graduate school may entirely destroy the right hemisphere.  We certainly are aware of the effects of inadequate training in verbal, computational skills.  The verbal left hemisphere never seems to recover fully, and the effects may handicap students for life.  What happens, then, to the right hemisphere which is hardly trained at all?

Perhaps now that neuroscientists have provided a conceptual base for right-brain training, we can begin to build a school system that will teach the whole brain.

One of the marvellous capabilities of the right brain is imaging: seeing an imaginary picture with your mind's eye.  The brain is able to conjure an image and then Alook at it, Aseeing it as if it is Areally there.  The terms for this ability, visualizing and imaging are used almost interchangeably, although to me the term visualizing tends to carry the idea of moving image, while imaging seems to connote a still picture.

Both visualizing and imaging are important components to unified consciousness.

TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE:  The Brain As Metaphor

Our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness, as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, separated by the flimsiest screen, there lay potential forms of consciousness vastly superior in scope.  We may go through life without suspecting its existence. But should we apply the requisite stimulus, new avenues of consciousness research are there in all their completeness, definite types of mentality which probably somewhere have their field of application and adaptation. BWilliam James AThe Varieties of Religious Experience.

Every creative act involves . . . a new innocence of perception, liberated from the cataract of accepted belief.  B Arthur Koestler AThe Sleepwalkers

A creative person is one who can process in new ways the information directly at hand - the ordinary sensory data available to all of us.

In a study undertaken in the 1950s, the California Institute of Technology (Cal Tech) determined that both hemispheres of the human brain are involved in higher cognitive functions and that the two hemispheres employ different methods or modes of processing information.

My premise is that developing a new way of seeing by tapping the special functions of the right hemisphere of your brain can help you learn to visualize the world differently.  This process encourages mental shifts from verbal, logical thinking to a more global, intuitive mode.  To put it more precisely, most people never learn to see well enough to determine the nature of awareness.

The magical mystery of consciousness seems to be, in part at least, an ability to make a shift in brain state to a different mode of seeing/perceiving.  When you enable yourself to see in the special way experienced by mystics and students of integrated advanced consciousness, you enable very specific mental abilities to become apparent.

That in all of these sudden illuminations my ideas took shape in a primarily visual-spatial form without, so far as I can introspect, any verbal intervention is in accordance with what has always been my preferred mode of thinking...Many of my happiest hours have since childhood been spent absorbed in drawing, in tinkering, or in exercises of purely mental visualization. --Roger N. Shepard AVisual Learning, Thinking, and Communication.

In order than we may know the full extent of our intellect, it is imperative that we learn how to see beyond the obvious.  To see correctly means a good deal more than merely looking with the eye.  It is the difference between eating an apple versus meditating upon it, and creating a perfect image in the mind.  The two visions, eating versus ideation, are vastly dissimilar.  When meditating, we create with our minds eye, not our hands.  Seeing clear is the important thing. 

It is in order to really see, to see ever deeper, ever more intensely, hence to be fully aware and alive, that I visualize what the Chinese call, The Ten Thousand Things around me.  Meditation is the discipline through which I constantly rediscover the world.

I have learned that what I have not seen clearly, I have never really seen, and that when I start fully visualizing an ordinary thing, I realize how extraordinary it is, sheer miracle.  Read this paragraph carefully, there is a secret hidden here.
Seeing is the problem, or, to be more specific, shifting to a particular way of seeing.  You may not believe me at this moment.  You may feel that you are seeing things just fine, and that its the visualizing thats hard.  But the opposite is true.  The crux of our work together is to make the mental shift and gain twofold advantage: first, to open access by conscious volition to the right side of your brain in order to experience a slightly altered mode of awareness; second, to see things in a different way.

The slightly altered consciousness state of feeling transported, which most mystics experience while doing meditation, is a state probably not altogether unfamiliar to you.  You may have observed in yourself slight shifts in your state of consciousness while engaged in much more ordinary activities than meditation. 

For example, most people are aware that they occasionally slip from ordinary waking consciousness into the slightly altered state of daydreaming.  As another example, people often say that reading takes them Aout of themselves.  And other kinds of activities which apparently produce a shift in consciousness state are jogging, needlework, typing, listening to music, and, of course, artistic creation.   The key to learning to meditate, or to see clearly, therefore, is to set up conditions that cause you to make a mental shift to a different mode of information processing - the slightly altered state of consciousness - that enables you to see well.  In this meditative mode you will be able to visualize your perceptions even though you may never have studied consciousness.  Once the seeing clearly mode is familiar to you, you will be able to consciously control the mental shift.

While meditating, or visualizing, you will delve deeply into a part of your mind too often obscured by endless details of daily life.  From this experience you will develop your ability to perceive things freshly in their totality, to see underlying patterns and possibilities for new combinations.  Creative solutions to problems, whether personal or professional, will be accessible through new modes of thinking, and new ways of using the power of your whole brain.

Through realism, you will learn to see deeply and profoundly.  You will gain a kind of confidence in your cognitive abilities that cannot be gained any other way.  You will learn to shift to a new mode of thinking, a mode of vast potential for insightful, creative problem solving.  <>To be shaken out of the rut of ordinary perception, to be shown for a few timeless hours, the outer and the inner world, not as they appear to an animal obsessed with words and notions, but as they are apprehended, directly and unconditionally, by Mind at Large - this is an experience of inestimable value to everyone. BAldous Huxley AThe Doors of Perception.

To empty one's mind of all thought and refill the void with a spirit greater than oneself is to extend the mind into a realm not accessible by conventional processes of reason.  BEdward Hill AThe Language of Drawing.

The art of archery is not an athletic ability mastered more or less through primarily physical practice, but rather a skill with its origin in mental exercise and with its object consisting in mentally hitting the mark.  Therefore, the archer is basically aiming for himself.  Through this, perhaps, he will succeed in hitting the target - his essential self. BHerrigel

Beyond the Metaphor

Having looked at the physical brain and used its dual nature to further explore the characteristics of mind, we can now turn our attention to the question of consciousness and the possibility of unification.  That is, the unification of our awareness to include all manner of anomaly presented through interaction with waking attention, with the subconscious interaction with universal and inter-dimensional influences.

The metaphor presented to us by the two hemispheres of the human brain, has parallels to the conscious and unconscious minds.  The same unification that occurs within the hemispheres extends to the physical and non-physical awareness.  This indicates to us, that a difference in reality exists between the aware rational mind and the subconscious mind which is active during sleep, daydreaming, or meditation.

Our goal is to understand the relationship between these differing states of consciousness, and the conscious unification of those relationships to arrive at the same unification that occurs in the human brain during daily interactions with perceived reality as we have been allowed through the observance of living in this world.

In the Serial Universe J. W. Dunne presented to humanity a renewed cosmology based upon an eternal now, a moment without beginning or ending.  His is a reality where everything is expressed as potential.  Within that potentiality, everything that could ever exist is in an expectant state, waiting, if you would, for an expression to be formed in mind and projected into awareness.

That potential is not restricted by three dimensional rules of existence, but is multi-dimensionally projected, giving rise to many expressions of the same thought which causes effect upon that medium where attention is centred.  Think upon that for a moment, and ponder the nature of serialism.  Serialism dictates that the observer can never be stationary in a momentary observation as such observer is always somewhere else.  Think about the delay mentioned when discussing the physical brain and the division of hemispheres.  There is always a delay between the thought and the vision produced by the thought.  Everything seen is thus filtered.
 

When considering Aunified mind or Aunified consciousness most students think of this as some magical moment when the mind is unified giving rise to the new age concept of enlightenment, nirvana, or any number of other states of consciousness that happens of the flavour of the month.   There is, however, a much broader and deeper aspect to unification, one that must take into consideration the serial multi-dimensional universe, and the nature of each expression of consciousness at all points of awareness.  That is, we humans are never separated from awareness, and thus the thought giving rise to self-awareness on any level, is expressed across all dimensions and shared.  Often as dreams, urges, impulses, feelings, &etc.

Unification then does not simply imply a fusion of physical mind with spiritual mind, or the expression of supra-consciousness per se.   It implies a unification of all expressions of self, no matter where attention may be apparent to you in this three dimensional manifestation.  You are truly the sum total of all of your expressions throughout all of awareness, or to those manifestations with which you (infinitely) have made contact.  That there are multiple copies of you in alternate dimensions rather complicates what/who it is you really are.

Consider it a clustering of sentient fragments.   A process whereby each fragment of self (an extended community is an apt metaphor), is brought together into a universal unified network of potentiality.  It has its parallels within the physical brain, but extends serially to the basis of self-awareness, bringing together all extensions of self throughout manifestation on all dimensions of cognizance.

Electricity......the physical brain functions via electrical discharges between the synapses.  The universal brain (mind) functions in exactly similar manner.  When we bring all of serial awareness into focus within any of minds extensions, in that attention span you have a phased unified consciousness.

Unification therefore implies degrees of convergence across dimensions.  It is the bringing together of all knowledge shared by the all fragments of yourself.  In the fully unified person, there is no identifying distinction between dimensional expressions.  Meaning, that no matter where you find a unified personality, that being will always act in conformity with all other projects, no matter where that might occur.  Here we have the secret previously hinted at.  Unification is the act of resolving the delay between the physical and spiritual.  Or more simply put, functioning from the universal, or Mind’s Eye.  It might also be visualized (devolutionally) as a "falling to Earth" or conversly, "rising to Mind."

What is the reason for this?  You probably are already there ahead of me.  Remember we discussed the delay between ideation and awareness?  That gap, which Dunne recognized and wrote upon in The Serial Universe, is in the unified person largely removed.  Thus, all that is known about a personality, no matter where may be its immediate centre, is instantly and infinitely available to all observers within an personified integration.

More simply put, phasing (similar in action to the phasing of an electrical discharge) is the centring (or uniting) of awareness to any other dimensional occurrence of self within the setting known to that extended self.  No one else may phase to any of your personal expressions of reality.  However, you are aware of general conditions centred upon that individual or serial personage.  And more importantly, avenues of exploration are opened through personal acquaintances, but not the full range of their knowledge unless invited to do so, by someone within that series.

From this point you tend to no longer refer to yourself as me, or I, but rather as an extended community.  For in a sense you are the integrated expression incorporating every aspect of the series from which you gain awareness.  From that point, one is consumed with discovering (or awakening) others within the series to the personally shared reality.

The process is not always perfect, giving rise to flaws which tend to become exaggerated.  Eventually though, these flaws are rectified creating the conditions for the expression of personal immortality.  Some personalities may be lost (as in dream episodes, which are never fully recovered upon awaking) having never reconciled to sustain within the serial extensions of self, yet the core knowledge accumulated remains intact.

Unified Consciousness

Level One

You have heard the President of the United States say that your world has changed.  And that you now live in a vastly different world.  He is correct.  However, not as delineated by his narrow view of human destiny and the pursuit of freedoms. The President may not be aware just how true his words are.

There are multiple possibilities open for exploration as you move through life.  All connected by mind, but most individuals have little idea of the connectedness these alternate events present.  You awake from every sleep, creating afresh the world to which you are accustomed, leaving behind the one from which you have just awoken.

We find humans seldom realize that the world in which you awaken is not the same one from which you fell asleep, but that it has been altered, changed by experiences and expectations.  Always, your awareness of self and your place in life is moulded by these fluctuating facts.  There is no escape from the ocean of memories and the creative power of mind.  As there is no escape, so may humans either become aware of its creative nature, or allow others of their races, of aliens, to control the expression of personal will through consciousness.

The world you now accept is one of directed assault on freedoms and the imposition of slavery.  The seeds of destruction have been planted in each of you.  There but remains the harvesting.  And you should know that the anthrax, biotoxins, and chemically induced demons have been identified and readied for distribution.  They will be delivered from many sources, and least expected.  Their deployment systems are not all machinery is of this world.

Could it come from those your most trust; those who will inherit the earth once it is cleansed of the ‘unwanted’?  Where and when will the harvesting cease its actions?  Certainly, in your current restricted lives, you have no direct influence in the choices.  You just move along with societal directions dictated through the erosion of your freedoms, and your acquiescence with the soulless ones, as their death agents are readied for distribution.

How easily you have accepted the devil into your homes and hearts.  Yes, the world has changed.  It is not the one you left before your last sleep.  That world was left behind in your dreams, and still exists . . . but not now for you of this awakening.
 
Why do you suppose this to be true?  There are those who would try to prevent truth from being spoken:  Those who have long ago sold their soul to the mere mouthing of parables, words meaning little to them beyond the verbalizing.  Like the vacant-eyed, empty shells they have become, they seek little else in life but to lower others to their uninspired levels.  Rather than definitive exchange, designed to free and uplift the human spirit, they spin intricate webs within codes without meaning.  Such actions designed only to frustrate meaningful societal advancement.

And when failure results, which is the inevitable result, it is always the victim that is at fault: the weakness is in the supplicant and not the teacher.  This has always been the way of ‘inner sanctum teachings’, no matter what labels you place upon the work.  Such teachings have been inculcated throughout society, robbing humankind of their birth rights as noble denizens of an expanded community.

You would not be wrong in labelling it as metaphysics, no matter where found in society.  You could more precisely define the process as the occult.  The secret teachings designed to maintain artificial societal constructs.  You know the teachings as new age, Catholicism, Protestantism, Talmudists, Zoroastrians, Islamic, atheists, mind control groups, Scientology, woo-woo all.   All of them connected by a fundamental desire to control and subjugate the human spirit.  Such teachings are designed to produce self-negated zombies, reliant upon society, group, the high priest, or teacher.  They espouse the religions and philosophies of the dead and dying, offering little more than subterfuge and disillusionment, and have little or nothing to do with natural science, transcendent psychology, or natural spiritualism.

Soon you will recognize those who walk among you possessing real power (falsely called by some, the omnipotent beast of perdition and revelation).  They are the accumulated spirits of ages without end, spewed from the depths of imagination they power and forge paths converging upon truth.  Riding engines of inexhaustible thrust and determinism, their unfathomable energy intricately weaving the fabric of reality in this place to finality.  You cannot prevent it, even should you have been forewarned.  It has already begun.

Level Two

Mind control is the explicit changing of perception to allow for layers of interaction unnatural to the human condition.  The argument is one of degree.  Does one expect the world to be the same upon awakening as a natural progression of life, or is the reality of wakening a preconditioned experience?  And, are our dreams free of censure?  Do our innermost urges and desires arise out of a free will, or the conditioned relinquishing of such?

To large degree, if you are reading this, you have stepped outside the restrictions of this world stage, and understand the idea of free will, and constructed a self-directed expression of here and now.  But for most, such freedoms are a momentary and involuntary experience, their worlds being changed FOR them day by day, second to second.

Having spent a considerable part of life reviewing what is meant by ‘unified consciousness’ and personally concluded the term to be connected with, leastwise in the public mind, to notions such as, cosmic consciousness, nirvana, expanded awareness, &etc.  It might surprise that it is not what it is about at all.  You will understand this having read through the article above (Journey to The Absolute Elsewhere).  That unified consciousness is misunderstood is the primary reason it is most often given cursory review and then categorized as new age terminology, and filed away in amongst the lead-nowhere data of that movement.  So the feeling goes something like this, “why bother with further consideration?  It’s all just sort of woo-wooish, feel good, gaze at your navel fluffiness.”

In Dunne’s ‘world view one’ (The Serial Universe), we find the perceived world depicted:  All of the pleasure, pain, evil, goodness, negative, positive, the whole human condition.  We find ourselves slung in the midst of it all, somehow hacking out our personal space, tuning out as best we can the stuff we don’t want to experience.  We direct our attention to those things that offer greater periods of happiness than they do sadness.  This is accomplished through family, friends, associates, etc.

Along the way we also accumulate possessions, structures, things that add to our experience of pleasure and comfort.  Our attention lingers on these things, and the accumulation of like objects and people to feed our comfort zone, and produce feelings of happiness.  And other things become less focussed.  The ‘world one view’ has become personified to exclude pain and the unfamiliar, or anomaly.

It is for this reason J.W. Dunne’s ‘divided attention’ better defines the problem, than does ‘unified consciousness’ for the reasons previously addressed, and carries significant baggage.  The process of directing attention to a wider range of phenomena  has nothing in common with mystical or magical practices.

We will continue to describe our objective as ‘unified consciousness’, but you should now know that it has little to do with what others have previously ascribed to that phase.  Our narrowed attention is best exemplified by our waking dreams.  During the midst of our sleep, we enter a very deep state.  It is in this state that our most profound dreams occur, those unaffected by our waking memories.  Only when we are drowsy or awakening from sleep do we colour our dreams with these conscious memories.  The deep ones are soul stuff that which is immortal.  They reflect our real self, and our real home in the ‘world of view two’ as depicted in Dunne’s, The Serial Universe.

Obviously then, our work is to consciously identify with those aspects accessible during our deep sleep dreams.  This is accomplished by directing our attention to our ‘view two dream world’ until it becomes familiar as does our ‘view one dream world.’  Thus, as Dunne wrote, “there is no difference between worlds.”   Until we resolve to unify these two world views, we cannot externalize a full appreciation of the complete human potential.   As our attention unifies, it expands to include a richer appreciation of the universe, and its diverse inhabitants.

Perhaps now you can begin to appreciate that the adversity or degree of integration we experience is not external, but internal.  The ghosts or anomalies we seek to define are of our own making.  For reasons we will further explore, they decide who we are, and how we will evolve.  They represent our centre of awareness, our attention zone.

Polarity is the spinning of consciousness upon an axis of our own making.  We evolve from positive to negative to positive ad infinitum, looped in infinite regress, in which all objective and subjective realities merge under willed direction.  We are truly limited only by self-limited imagination.

Unified consciousness represents the choices we have made during this sojourn.  We either choose to live as we perceive our lives unfolding within social and personal comfort zones, or chose to move beyond the endless cycles of sameness, and define the miraculous, expressing immortality in every facet of life.

Unified Consciousness is best described as metaphor.  It cannot be repaired, joined but our understanding of it may be adjusted by acknowledging its universality.   Consciousness is akin to energy, which can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be changed.  You right now have access to all the consciousness that exists anywhere, at any time.  It is only your doubt that denies that fact avenues of expression.  When you accept that, nothing can divide, or segment your consciousness.  You can no longer be mind controlled into thinking of yourself a mere cog in the societal machine.  You are the ultimate designer of the machine, therefore are able to express much more than its results.

A savant expresses unified consciousness, albeit usually through one facet only of a broad range of possibilities.  Whatever his/her focus (mathematical, artistic, memory) it is at a level of attention higher than most of you allow the possibility.  Savants exhibit genius in that one aspect of their attention as we have not.  We are all capable of such manifestation, and much more.  We just do not believe it to be possible.  The proof is always in the unified awareness one achieves, whatever the model chosen for that journey.
 
Societally, the problem we face is not the multifaceted nature of humanity, nor her political and racial differences.  The only way out of our self-induced incredulity, is in the way we interact with ourselves, our Raison d'être.  We cannot heal a world and can only heal ourselves, in whatever manner.  In so doing, expect that our actions have some greater purpose in the evolution of consciousness within the human species.  The womb of our soul, the source of our thoughts, the attention we pay to all of humanity, the degree to which we are humane, is the fine point of evolution, the historic DNA upon which we weave our will to express all that is possible within that model.

Dunne was very much aware of his centre of attention in ‘world view two (the subconscious)’, and that his appreciation of phenomenal existence extended proportionately from the application of thoughtful attention.  During his later years this particular line of research occupied his full attention.  This he states quite explicitly in his later works, elaborating on The Serial Universe.

Ultimately all such jargon (unified consciousness, unified attention, cosmic consciousness, and whatever) becomes useless.  We use such phrases due to our impaired memories, giving rise to the near impossibility of relating our experiences without resort too societally (read: mind controlled) induced usage.  Such limitations suggest the main obstacle we face in seeking to express more of what the universe offers.  It is the reason human kind has not achieved their potential on this world as a species.  Far too much ‘time’ is spent trying to define the indefinable, and not enough energy spent accepting that we are already everything we will ever be without limits.

Nothing may be added to the human expression of mind.  It is already completed, perfect and immortal in every aspect.  Humankind must, without equivocation, merely affirm that truth.  You may call it moral determination, or whatever else you wish.  The fact remains, human attention is fractured and unfocused, content exploring little more than the peripheral of existence.

Replace the wounded, divided homage we pay consciousness with a positive model of ideation and a more humane audience will result.  God willing, it may even attract a scientist or two.  Certainly, if this writer could be so bold, Norman Bergrun’s works attest to the benefits of sticktoitiveness.  Unfortunately, his work results from direct superior manipulation.  They have taught that  person may take an idea, whether it is based on truth or not, and create an idea that touches multiple thousands . . . giving them transport beyond the ordinary, expanding their vision of this solar system, and ultimately the universe.

The distinguishing characteristics of the evolving man are his journeys toward divinity, his innate creativity and expanding intuition.  He stands steadfastly against adversity and thinks for himself.  Refusing to become another’s shadow, he steps boldly and freely forth to explore his own worlds, and define his own shadows.  At least, through the process, he will have done it his way.
 
Just what is behind the metaphor?  How do we arrive at unified consciousness without becoming hopelessly lost in the new age maze?  As stated earlier, the problem is that labels demand reciprocal effort/understanding in arriving at a consensus.  And should a label carry with it, sufficient baggage to confuse aspirants with preconceived notions as to precise meanings, then its effectiveness diminishes long before you even begin to discuss more important aspects, such as mind control.  It even flavours what you say or write, to the extent that your message is lost in an ocean of pre misconceptions.  You may get lucky every so often and wake someone from their nap long enough to elicit a week, “uh-huh.  I see.”

Now, let us steal a phrase from Dunne’s The Serial Universe, one that proves he was aware of what we mean by Unified Consciousness: “...The most important fact which emerges is that you prove to be the immortal part of an immortal composite observer . . .”

Beautiful simplicity!

Thus we visualize Christ perhaps saying, “Give me twelve staunch partners, and I will unify (metaphorically) them to change the world.”  Unification deals not so much with personal consciousness as it does impersonal ideation (the wellspring of genius).  Thus, as described elsewhere, unification is not something to be affected, but is the realization of universal continuity and timeless community.  We are truly keepers of our brothers and sister’s keepers, forever.

Humans have an infinite range of correct choices, and at any given moment may choose to exercise their right of self determination.  Most definitely, the last word has not been written regarding consciousness, by anyone.  One can neither hide ignorance, nor defend lies.  The human experience with consciousness is a minefield, strewn with false dreams and societal subterfuge, where the most obvious connections and images are the least probable.

Notes to Level Three: 

Dunne's theory, elaborated from years of experiments into precognitive dreams and induced precognitive states, is that in reality all Time is eternally present ie that past, present and future are all happening at the same time. Human consciousness, however, experiences this simultaneity in linear form. Dunne posits that in the dreaming state this way of interpreting Time ceases to be as concrete as when we are awake. Thus we are capable of having what we call precognitive dreams as consciousness finds itself free to roam across past, present and future. From this Dunne posited that we existed on two levels ourselves, both inside and outside Time, thus suggesting the notion of Immortality contained in his later books 'The New Immortality' and 'Nothing Dies'.
1.    The idea that Time (and, by extension, humanity) exists both simultaneously and linearly is a difficult one to grasp. One analogy is that of a book. At any given moment the entirety of a book exists in itself but at any given moment we can only read one page at a time, the other pages, while existing simultaneously with the one we are reading, remaining outside our consciousness. If we could somehow read every page of the book at once, or be able to experience the book in its entirety in a single moment then we would be closer to a real experience of it. Similarly in our lives we are conscious of only one moment in Time, the present, rather than our past, present and future together. The past is remembered but not physically experienced, the future remains unknown.

2.    To achieve the simultaneous awareness of past, present and future would mean a complete reevaluation of the nature of our existence in terms of consciousness, Time and physical reality, something which Dunne argues is the logical conclusion of his work.-                              ---- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia

Level Four

It is important to consider Manifest Destiny.  For example, the American Dream is manifest destiny.  It has three components: Religion, a sense of Mission, and a Dark Side.   The Religious influence assumes divine providence guides American.  Early Americans strongly believed that it was God=s Will that they spread across the country, subduing anything and anyone in opposition.  It was white man’s burden to conquer and Christianize the land. [Demin, Stephen R. Lecture Notes. HIS 120-83. 1996.  Delaware County Community College.]

A Sense of Mission drove North West expansion as American fur trappers blazed new trails and passages through the mountains.  Their travels revealed new fertile lands, and they carried exaggerated stories and accounts of their travels home with them.  Their stories lent an aura of romance and adventure to territorial expansion.

With the first wagon train in 1831 through to territorial government 1848, Manifest Destiny was responsible for making America grow.

Without Manifest Destiny the Americans would not have developed as quickly and thoroughly as it unfolded.  Fear also fed the expansion as there was a renewed fear that the security of the United States might be impaired by foreign intervention in areas along its borders.  The easiest way to conquer those fears was to conquer land beyond its borders and expand American territories.

The Dark Side primarily manifests through treatment of native peoples.  While Manifest Destiny instilled a surge of enthusiasm and energy in the American peoples for pushing west, the negative side was the belief that the white man had the right to destroy anything and anyone . . . namely Indians . . . who got in the way.  This process lead to the mass destruction of tribal organizations, confinement of Indians, and eventually to full-blown genocide.  The white man believed that his settlement of the land and civilization of its native peoples was preordained.  Americans took whatever land they wanted.  With a belief that Manifest Destiny gave them a right and power to do so, many simply settled, planted and farmed Indian land.

The arrogance that flowed from the Manifest Destiny philosophy was exemplified when Albert T. Beveridge rose before the U.S. Senate and announced: “God has not been preparing the English-speaking and Tectonic peoples for a thousand years for anything but vain and idle self-admiration.  No!  He has made us the master organizers of the world to establish a system where chaos reins . . .  “
