Session 709

Unknown Reality, Session 709

Everything that is apparent three-dimensionally has an inside source, out of which its appearance springs.  Some of this, again, is difficult to explain – not because Ruburt does not have the vocabulary, but because serial-word language automatically prepackages ideas into certain patterns, and to escape prepackaging can be a task.  We will try our best, however.

The cell as you understand it is but the cell’s three-dimensional face.  The idea of tachyons as currently understood is basically legitimate, though highly distorted.  Before a cell as such makes its physical appearance there are “disturbances” in the spot in which the cell will later show itself.  Those disturbances are the result of a slowing down of prior effects of faster-than-light activity, and represent the emergence into your space-time system of energy that can then be effectively used and formed into the cellular pattern.

The very slowing-down process itself helps “freeze” the activity into a form.  At the death of a cell a reverse process occurs – the death is the escape of that energy from the cell form, its release, the release itself triggering certain stages of acceleration.  There is what might be called a residue, or debris energy, “coating” the cell, that stays within this system.  None of this can be ascertained from within the system – that is, the initial faster-than-light activity or the deceleration afterward.  Such faster-than-light behavior, then, helps form the basis for the physical universe.  This characteristic is an attribute of the CU’s, which have already slowed down to some extent when they form EE units.

While operating through the body structures, consciousness such as your own focus largely upon the three-dimensional orientation.  In out-of-body states, however, consciousness can travel faster than light – often, in fact, instantaneously.

This frequently happens in the dream state, although such a performance can be achieved in varying altered states of consciousness.  At such times consciousness simply puts itself in a different relationship with time and space.  The physical body cannot follow, however.  It is by altering its own relationship with the physical universe that consciousness can best understand its own properties, and glimpse from another vantage point that physical universe, where it will be seen in a different light.  Operating outside the body, consciousness can better perceive the properties of matter.  It cannot experience matter, however, in the same fashion as it can when it is physically oriented.

From the ordinary point of view, the travelling consciousness is off-focus, not locked into physical coordinates in the designated fashion.  The so-called inner world can be at least theoretically explored, however, in just such a way.  Consciousness “unlocks” itself for a while from its usual coordinates.  When this happens the out-of-body traveler is not simply out of his or her corporal form.  The person steps out of usual context.  Even if an individual leaves the body and wanders about the room no more than a few feet away from where the body is located, there are alterations – the relationship of consciousness to the room is different. The relationship of the individual to time and space has altered.  Time out of the body is “free time” by your standards.  You do not age, for example, although this effect varies according to certain principles.  I will mention these later.

Such a traveling consciousness may journey within physical reality: While not relating to that system in the usual manner, it may still be allied with it.  From that viewpoint matter itself will seem to appear differently than it does ordinarily.  On the other hand, an out-of-body consciousness may also enter other physically attuned realities: those operating at “different frequencies than your own”.  The basically independent nature of consciousness allows for such disentanglement.  The body consciousness maintains its own equilibrium, and acts somewhat like a maintenance station.

Any discussion of the unknown reality must necessarily involve certain usually dismissed hypotheses about the characteristics of consciousness itself.  The world as you know it is the result of a complicated set of “codes” (as given at the beginning of the last session), each locked in one to the other, each one in those terms dependent upon the others.  Your precise perceived universe in all of its parts, then, results from coded patterns, each one fitting perfectly into the next.  Alter one of these and to some extent you step out of that context.  Any event of any kind that does not directly, immaculately intersect with your space-time continuum, does not happen, in your terms, but falls away.  It becomes probable in your system but seeks its own “level”, and becomes actualized as it falls into place in another reality whose “coded sequence” fits its own.

When consciousness leaves the body, therefore, it alters some of the coordinates.  There are various questions involving the nature of perception that then occur, and these will be discussed somewhat later.  Consciousness is equipped to focus its main energy, in your terms at least, generally within the body, or to stray from it for varying amounts of time.  Theoretically, your human consciousness can take many different roads while still maintaining its physical base.  In far-past historical times, different kinds of orientation were experimented with (as by the “sleepwalkers” described in the last session, for instance).  Your own present private experience can give hints and clues about such other cultures, for those abilities reside within the natural framework, now, but are underdeveloped.

To one extent or another, therefore, all of the potentials of the species are now latent within each individual.  Often these spring to the surface through events that may seem bizarre.  The “unknown” reality is unknown only because you have not looked for its aspects in yourself.  You have been taught to pay almost exclusive attention to your exterior behavior.  Privately, then, much of your inner life escapes you.  You often structure your life according to that exterior pattern of events.  These, while important, are the result of your own inner world of activity.  That inner world is your only real connection with the exterior events, and the objective details make sense only because of the subjectivity that gave them birth.

In the same way, when you look at the current state of the world, or at history, you often structure your perceptions so that only the topmost surfaces of events are seen.  Using the same kind of reasoning, you are apt to judge the historic past of your species in very limited terms, and to overlook great dues in your history because they seem to make no sense.

While you believe, for example, that technology as you understand it alone means progress, and that progress necessarily requires overriding physical manipulation of the environment that must forever continue, you will judge past civilizations in that light.  This will blind you to certain accomplishments and other orientations to such an extent that you will not be able to see evidence of achievement when it appears before your eyes.

You have not worked with the power of thought or feeling, but only with its physical effects.  Therefore, to you only physically materialized events are obvious.  You do not accept your dreams as real, for example, but as a rule you consider them fantasies – imaginative happenings.  Until very recently you generally believed all information came to the body through the outer senses, and ignored all evidence to the contrary.  It was impossible to imagine civilizations built upon data that were mentally received, consciously accepted, and creatively used.  Under such circumstances scientists could hardly look for precognition in cells.  They did not believe it existed to begin with.

The human body itself has limitless potentials, and great variations that allow for different kinds of orientation.  Probable man represents alternate man from your viewpoint, alternate versions of the species.  The same applies individually.  In out-of-body states many people have encountered probable selves and probable realities.  They have also journeyed into the past and the future as you think of them.  The private psyche contains within itself the knowledge of its own probabilities, and it contains a mirror in which the experience of the species can at least be glimpsed.

You are used to a particular kind of orientation, accustomed to using your consciousness in one particular manner.  In order to study the “unknown” reality, however, you must try to see what else your consciousness can do.  This really means that you must learn to regain the true feeling of yourself.

There are two main ways of trying to find out about the nature of reality – an exterior method and an interior one.  The methods can be used together, of course, and from your vantage point must be for the greatest efficiency.  You are well acquainted with the exterior means, that involve studying the objective universe and collecting facts upon which certain deductions are made.  In this book, therefore, we will be stressing the interior ways of attaining, not necessarily facts, but knowledge and wisdom.  Now, facts may or may not give you wisdom.  They can, if they are slavishly followed, even lead you away from true knowledge.  Wisdom shows you the insides of facts, so to speak, and the realities from which facts emerge.

Much of the remainder of “Unknown Reality”, then, will deal with an inside look at the nature of reality, and with some exercises that will allow you to see yourself and your world from another perspective.  Later I intend to say far more about some civilizations that, in your terms, came before your own.  Before you can understand their orientation, we will have to speak about various alternate kinds of consciousness and out-of-body experience.  These will help you to understand how other kinds of cultures could operate in ways so alien to your own.

We will be discussing alternate methods of orientation that consciousness can take when allied with flesh, trying to give the reader some personal experience with such altered civilizations that utilized these unofficial orientations as their predominant methods of focus.

To become familiar with the “unknown” reality you must to some extent grant that it exists, then, and be willing to step aside from our usual behavior.  All of the methods given are quite natural, inherent in the body structure, and even biologically anticipated.  Your consciousness could not leave your body and return to it again unless there were biological mechanisms that allowed for such a performance.

I have said that the body can indeed carry on, performing necessary maintenance activities while the main consciousness is detached from it.  To some extent it can even perform simple chores.  In sleep, in fact, it is not at all necessary that the main consciousness be alert in the body.  Only in certain kinds of civilizations, for that matter, is such a close body-and-main-consciousness relationship necessary.  There are other situations, therefore, in which consciousness ordinarily strays much further, returning to the body as a home station and basis of operation, relying upon it for certain kinds of perception only, but not depending upon it for the entire picture of reality.  Physical life alone does not necessarily require the kind of identification of self with flesh that is your own.

This does not mean that an alienation results in those realities – simply a relationship in which the body and consciousness relate to other events.  Only your beliefs, training, and neurological indoctrination prevent you from recognizing the true nature of your consciousness while you sleep.  You close out those data.  In that period, however, at an inner order of events, you are highly active and do much of the interior mental work that will later appear as physical experience.

While your consciousness is so engaged, your body consciousness performs many functions that are impossible for it during your waking hours.  The greatest biological creativity takes place while you sleep, for example, and certain cellular functions are accelerated.  Some such disengagement is therefore obviously necessary, or it would not occur.  Sleeping is not a by-product of waking life.

In greater terms you are just as awake when you are asleep, but the focus of your awareness is turned in other directions.  As you know, you can live for years while in a coma, but you could not live for years without ever sleeping.  Even in a coma there is mental activity, though it may be impossible to ascertain it from the outside.  A certain kind of free conscious behavior is possible when you are not physically oriented as you are in the waking state, and that activity is necessary even for physical survival.

This also has to do with pulsations of energy in which consciousness as you know it, now, exercises itself, using native abilities that cannot be expressed through physical orientation alone.

Your own main consciousness has the ability to travel faster than light, but those perceptions are too fast, and the neurologically structured patterns that you accept cannot capture them.  For that matter, cellular comprehension and reaction are too fast for you to follow.  The poised framework of physical existence requires a particular platform of experience that you accept as valid and real.  At that level only is the universe that you know experienced.  That platform of focus is the result of the finest cooperation.  Your own free consciousness and your body consciousness form an alliance that makes this possible.

Such a performance actually means that physical reality clicks off and on.  In your terms, it exists only in your waking hours.  The inner work that makes it possible is largely done in the sleep state.  The meeting of body consciousness and your main consciousness requires an intense focus, in which the greatest manipulations are necessary.  Perceptions must be precise in physical terms.  To some extent, however, that exquisite concentration means that certain limitations occur.  Cellular comprehension is not tuned into by the normally conscious self, which is equally unaware of its own free-wheeling nature at “higher” levels.  So a disengagement process must happen that allows each to regenerate.  The consciousness then leaves the body.  The body consciousness stays with it.
