This report is based on another more recent experience using deep meditation to enter what I termed the Super Dimensional realities via a direct
Out-of-Body experiences are now widely accepted as a paradigm that occurs in a parallel universe which contains numerous levels. The discussion of a Super Dimensional level of reality is simply taking it to the next level, which Theosophy would regard as the Mental and Causal levels.
My recent experiences did not originate from an out-of-body state at all and happened much more directly during meditation. But because waking consciousness was established away from physical awareness in a different location I regard this mode of projection as just as authentic as OBE. A friend of mine is trying similar projection methods which he described as “working on it through his “Merkabah”, a phrase I hadn’t heard before. It is taken from the Bible and describes the process very poetically. The meditator surrenders to angels (four(?) in total), messengers of God and receives a “chariot” in which he is taken by the angels into the Kingdom of Heaven. My own method was characterized by a similar escort. Though I attribute it as originating from my right brain hemisphere which takes the form of a benevolent presence which I like to refer to as my “Silent Companion”. Carl Gustav Jung would probably call it the “SELF” from which the ego consciousness emerges. Anthony Peake refers to it as the “Daemon” in his second book with the same title (taken from classical Greek and not to be confused with the more modern sinister definition of “Demon”). It can also be seen as the Higher Self of contemporary New Age philosophy. These are common metaphors which become more prominent in the lives of people who develop their intuitive powers.
This new process involves deep meditation in order to enter a state of clarity with the help of “Merkabah”, the “Daemon” or the “Silent Companion”. This helps to avoid the intrusion of thought or emotional pollution. Attention on these higher aspects, instills a very essential positive feeling of devotion, total surrender or unconditional love. This sidelines any interfering thoughts and focuses attention away from the ego. During this process I allow myself to surrender to an emerging inner light and associate it with my higher aspect.
For the process to be completed one has to rely on a power which is outside one’s own ego-sphere. I think this is the reason why it is such a rare event, because we are so identified with our social selves. To me, at my current stage of development, it seems to be happening “by invitation only”. In my experience it is “The Silent Companion” which has to take over and complete the whole process, to guide us into the higher states of consciousness. To us still “mere humans” at this stage it is experienced as a great blessing, a “benediction from above”, by a power much greater than us. Very often people report that they were taken by a “Higher Power” rather than getting there by themselves. They speak of the “Hand of God” having touched them and a feeling that they had no choice but to oblige in a state of total surrender. It is this total surrender mechanism which sets in motion the final transfer of our consciousness into a higher state.
People with Near Death Experience have often reached this state after abandoning all their attachments to their physical bodies. All we can do is to initiate this process until we have permanently taken up residence on the higher level by transferring our identity to the silent companion, until we become the Silent Companion.
This transition from lower to higher self is experienced as a tremendous grace which instantly results in an expansion of consciousness, accompanied by powerful ecstasy.
At this point it becomes very difficult to adhere to any initial pledge of investigating the environment in which we find ourselves as we would during Out-of-Body experiences. The force of the ecstasy is so powerful that we are likely to be swept away. The forces of nature we have united with seem to have no other purpose in mind than bringing us back home to their very origin. I believe this is the reason why nearly all reports on such an experience have so many similar characteristics, such as “surrendering to the light”, “becoming one with a universal consciousness”, “uniting with God”, “taking a universal viewpoint”, etc. The descriptions of any environments encountered in the process are very sparse or simply reported as a space of light(s) or even emptiness.
In my experience it is only when we resist this overwhelming urge to reunite with the very source of our origin and focus attention away from it and on to the environment that we become aware of the truly incredible super-dimensional nature of this world.
In order to make any sense of the following description at all it is important to realize the incredible changes our consciousness undergoes when entering these dimensions. From this we can then see why the environment is the way it is and why we as individuals residing in these dimensions after death and after having journeyed through the astral planes on our way home, behave the way we do when taking up residence here. Most of the things we regarded as our very “human” characteristics will have been cast aside or transformed into higher aspirational attitudes. Here we are in a completely new playing field of experience, which far surpasses anything we could have ever dreamt of. Here it will also became clear where our future evolution as a species lies. Until now we have been no more than a slightly more sentient species of animal, misguided in our attitudes and blinded by the self-importance of our ego-centered social identities. Although the illusions, as we will see, are far from over. The majority of us will spend most of our time in a perpetually enhanced lucid dream, where we will manifest all our highest aspirations. But the awakened mind will embark on a grand scale adventure which will dwarf even our wildest dreams.
These are some of the major changes, which will affect our existence and future development in the Super Dimensional levels:
Our consciousness has a more universal identity. We are intimately aware of our environment as being part of our selves or us being part of our environment, this includes separate individualized forms of consciousness. With the absence of ego identification there are no needs, only an intrinsic urge for expansion of consciousness, creation and unification.
We step beyond the boundaries of our individualized identity and explore new states of being.
The Super Dimensions are truly infinite universes, not like our physical universe. The first aspect of infinity is the infinite mode of our manifesting thoughts. We are able to create personal reality simply by manifesting our individual dreams, which become our “objective” reality. This can be expanded ad infinitum until we literally run out of ideas and exhaust our repertoire of imagination.
The second aspect of infinity is numerous multi-layered dimensions, which are simply manifestations of the same power which brought our physical universe into existence.
I spend a great deal of my time soaring over incredible vistas and landscapes, which for me, as an artist, is an irresistible impulse. In one experience I was soaring over huge planes, criss-crossed by the arteries of complex river systems with ever-changing vegetation and surprising new features, then, by a simple shift of focus I found myself in a completely new universe altogether. Yet each of these worlds felt like home ground, not in terms of familiarity, but in terms of being a part of it, being aware that these worlds were formed from the same consciousness as I was. Few of these places were at all familiar with features I am still trying to find words for, let alone computer software to help me express them in pictures. For example the gossamer extrusions of the rock which were neither hard nor solid neither transparent. The same applied to the vegetation which was neither plant nor animal and made of a material for which there is no known equivalent.
I found landscapes, however, which looked very familiar, but on a different scale of beauty and grandeur. I traveled through vast tunnels which were neither above or below ground, vortexes made of light, of changing shapes and swirling pattern miles in diameter.
The third infinite aspect is comprised of Infinite numbers of consensus thought forms which I have described at length in my book, diverse structures and territories created by sympathetic beliefs. These only become apparent by focus and the intention of investigating such beliefs. Every thought we have will attract or direct our attention towards sympathetic thought which will spread out like the rays of the sun to create a “super thought”, which establishes itself as a grand edifice for our eyes to feast on and our ears to hear. Whole new environments are assembled by the combined attention of a number of individuals. Here we will find any possible variation to our initial thought.
The fourth infinite aspects are the uncountable numbers of universes which can all be accessed from these and even higher levels. In my own experience the “Many Worlds Interpretation”, although making sense from a quantum mechanical viewpoint, is in fact no more than a fantasy which falls short of the actual reality. It is simply that scientists try to explain non physical events from a physical angle and end up with a misrepresentation of reality. To imagine an infinite number of versions of us, with a google to the power of google combinations of events played out in an infinite number of universes seems to me to be sheer madness. The universe does not operate on the laws of madness and it doesn’t need to, because all experience it wants to explore it will and to do this it does not need infinite copies of us or infinite copies of our physical universe. Seeing Max Blogg having breakfast with a dinosaur in a tent on an asteroid is not part of the synchronistic workings of a creation which springs, from unity, clarity, perfection and harmony and even when it introduces chaos in its process of creating denser physical manifestation it will do so following its own cosmic laws and not those of a demented lunatic. Reality is about repose, symmetry, intelligence, order and harmony and even the chaos follows sensical laws, even if we don’t understand them.
In my experience I found that cities are one way in which the truly powerful potential of consciousness can be explored. Not only can we attract sympathetic thoughts or ideas, but we are able to attract sympathetic individual consciousnesses as well. We will find new and deeply rewarding relationships, which in turn will lead us to greater understanding by benefiting from mutual experiences. We will find that this is the building material of all the vast civilizations and mega cities in abundance in the super dimensional world. Cities which are of a variety in design and construction which is staggering to the imagination.
I visited three cities which were totally different. One was in the shape of a gigantic lotus flower, which from a distance appeared like a real flower, but vividly alive with pulsating lights and changing colors. It was surrounded by an aura of light. On closer inspections these were individuals and groups of individuals moving about like bees trying to extract honey from a blossom.
The other city was much more traditional with broad bright thoroughfares lined with gigantic trees and numerous parks, canals with boats and impressive architecture. This city was located within a vast plane, which itself was a valley surrounded by a huge mountain range made of a stone which was nothing that could be identified on earth.
