Like early explorers (but only in this way) who were convinced that New Worlds exist on the other side of a vast ocean — I am convinced that more exists in consciousness than has heretofore been explored or expressed. What I see unites truths of quantum theory and non-duality philosophies, and goes beyond them both, as far as I have found. It goes beyond the mental realm to the realm of direct experience. As a note, yes, we live in a dualistic world to those who say so. That is the brain-projected world of mental concepts, apart from the non-duality of the cosmos of consciousness which suffuses everything and exists just beyond normal human perception. The vision goes beyond medical or yogic definitions of altered states of consciousness, which still are in the mental realm, such as: 'Medical Definition of altered state of consciousness: any of various states of awareness (as dreaming sleep, a drug-induced hallucinogenic state, or a trance) that deviate from and are usually clearly demarcated from ordinary waking consciousness.' and 'In yoga or meditation practice, yogis may be able to alter their state of consciousness. The term, altered state of consciousness, is generally defined as "any state of awareness which is different from the normal waking consciousness."' But what I'm seeing is not merely an altered mental state that can be measured in brain wave activity. Rather, it is an expanded state that dissolves boundaries between 'me' and the other, in an actual experience of oneness. This expanded state can be measured by the qualities of one's character and actions, such as unconditional love, compassion, inner peace, fluidity of motion, effortlessness; and in powers different from the normal waking state, exemplified in stories from the life of Jeshua the Christ. To the normal waking mind of our current society, such a vision seems far-fetched, and the physical laws measured by science too fixed to allow its fulfillment. I agree, so long as individuals remain bound by mental concepts, such a oneness experience as described will remain rare and random. But, the latest quantum theory of the new science of Biocentrism does support much of the vision I've held lifelong. Bob Berman, co-author of the Biocentric books and a highly regarded astronomer, had a life-changing, spontaneous oneness experience which lasted three weeks. I feel compelled to continue self experiments (without chemicals) towards a full, sustainable oneness experience. As the old, mechanical views and discrete objects of classical science are replaced by the new science such as proposed by the Biocentric books, the choice for consciously chosen sustainable oneness becomes greater. Add to that the current supportive earth changes taking place, and some version of my optimistic vision becomes inevitable, eventually. Some have written that a sustained oneness experience is not possible, since the body could not handle the high frequency. Well, first of all, how would anyone know such a thing? It sounds like what people said in the early days of automobiles, that anything over the 'normal' road car speed would tear a person's body apart. There is so much evidence of the possibility, in science, scripture, and imaginative literature — that to me, a sustained oneness experience is not far-fetched, but a high probability. I go for the highest vision imaginable: god-humans walking the earth, all knowing the True Self of everything is the same One Being. Some comments to my 'Second Coming of Christ' post surprised me. I had not anticipated it would be such a controversIal and emotional subject. To the message that the second coming of Christ will be revealed in human lives, some commented, 'Christ is within.' Yes, as the oak tree is within the acorn, as an inherent potential, it is so, Christ is within. But, without germination, sprouting, and being nurtured into a tree, the acorn remains a nut for the squirrels. For the consciously directed process of germinating, sprouting, and nurturing Christ consciousness in human lives, the 'One Being Mantra' (revised as recently as today to reflect my latest realizations), has started to induce in practice the first feeling of expanded consciousness. Whether that is from a boyish enthusiasm for this creation through my hands, or something more, I cannot say. For greater clarity and confirmation, it is needed that other dedicated individuals give the breathing mantra a test run. The audio (about 4 minutes) and a one page narrative of the 'One Being Mantra' can be accessed from the Whole Human site. * Notes to myself: Soul is limited only by mental concept. Thought increases inner tensity*, inhibiting the flow of Spirit and stiffening the body. Communion takes place not in analytical understanding but in the radiance of feeling and living from the innocence of the heart. Cultivate a still mind and a feeling heart. Relax the body into receptivity. Yearn for direct continuous conscious connection with the One Being. * Blog Post — Unconsciously Freeing the Body COMMENTS Thomas Kamila What does emotional healing mean to you. And would you consider healing as a necessary part of our journey toward self actualization? Gary Emotional healing means to me that e-motions (energies in motion) flow through, are noticed neutrally and with love, and don't get stuck or stagnant in the body. The word healing has its root in wholeness, as I understand and you may know. Emotions buried alive never die, and often play havoc in a person's life, hindering self-actualization. Healing those buried emotions means looking at them honestly and letting them go, as an inner work which can be assisted by therapies such as bodywork. Emotional healing is awareness of the energies, and skillfulness in managing them, that is, letting them go in the moment they appear and not dwelling upon them. They are messengers to be noticed, with appreciation. Yes, that type of emotional healing is a natural part of our journey toward self actualization, especially when it comes with growing awareness. I had a recent experience with this, not as a direct result of inner work for emotional healing, but as a side effect from practicing my newly written breathing mantra, 'Relaxing Into Oneness.' Last night I had an uncharacteristically emotional dream triggered by a past relationship. That emotional release likely came as a result of the day before relaxing into oneness. How do you feel about emotional healing and self actualization? Thank you for asking! Kelly Lorenz This is an excellent post. As I have come to my own personal truth that like the divine great spirit of creation, source of all that is, we as humans have the power and capacity to create through thought and feeling, through the frequencies of our electromagnetic bodies. So if we can imagine it, it is possible, as we are simply an elaborate and genious imagining of source as it is, and if we with all of our levels of consciousness, duality, and knowing of oneness are possible, then how could anything else be limited? The artist Rumi, seems to me, to be an example of a sustained experience odf oneness as in his poems he speaks of himself and his beloved as one in the same, seperate yet not, loving and blending and pulling apart just to taste the sweetness of reuinion. Perhaps you are tapping in to this type of love that so few have experienced, and so many are doubtful and even frightened that they may possibly be undeserving of. But as I am sure you know, there is none undeserving of the love and communion with source, it is all a matter of, as you said, consciously directing the process of nurturing the christ/ sophia or crystalline consciousness or not. All that being said, boyish enthusiasm is a great creative tool and I look forward to testing your creation for myself as well! Can you attach a link to your meditation? Last note, on your notes to self, the bit about tensity in the body caused by thought is so helpful. I have been trying to "soften" and it seems that the trying by way of evaluating and analyzing where I am in that process is what is tripping me up and disallowing the softness. Thank you kindly for that. Brain unplugged, softness engaged, be at peace within💖 Gary Kelly Lorenz ~ ❤️❤️ for your comment, and the energy behind it. May I add it to a Whole Human post? Jane Young Kelly Lorenz Gary R. Smith Wow guys my heart is a flutter and my spirit is soaring. I so resonate with every single thing said here. I am exploding with things to say about this subject but just enjoying sitting and reading in Blissfull repose feeling the energy of two kindred spirits. 💞💞 Jane Young I would like to say and I am sure that many will be offended by it. But it is time for it to be said and discussed openly. The entire Jesus Christ story is actually a myth but a myth that hides an allegory about our separation from source and return. The Gnostics (so called christian and pagan) used these myths that are actually allegories to enable a searcher to move to an awareness of their true self in stages. A group around supposed 300 AD and king Constantine usurped the Gnostic Myth of Jesus, altered the story to make it a real person. You can't have people thinking they are God. Anyway have probably said enough on the subject. Bless you both. 💞💞 Kelly Lorenz Jane Young wow. This is the best synopsis of the past and how we have gotten to where we are, in short, in terms of religion and spirituality and the dogma and secrecy and illusion that suppresses the truth, intentionally. You are absolutely right, it is time to speak plainly and boldly about these things. It's just ridiculous to engage in the game that the truth really is that we are small and powerless. That game isn't fun for anyone but those who run it. It is conversations like these ones though that keep me moving along and focused on how far so many of us have come, and how much love and compassion, Christ consciousness, we have already lit up on this planet. It is ramping up spead with every one of these exchanges, and your comments are jet fuel on my fire! Thank you for your very kind words, and I'm glad you can resonate, I'm going to add you as a friend if you don't mind. Jane Young Kelly Lorenz So true Kelly. I can feel the consciousness of the cosmos rising in vibration significantly. Many think that the signs they see is an indication that something or someone is coming to save us, save our planet, save our universe. But the signs these people may be seeing are actually responding to the increased waves of "our" vibratory energy that are feeding into the unified cosmic consciousness. We/us/you/I are manifesting the change. We are the great creators of the cosmos. As the unified field of human consciousness increases in vibration so does ALL THINGS. It feels my heart and spirit with so much joy to have connected to someone who is on the same vibration. Sometimes I feel I'm the only one that "sees" it all the way it is. I'm very comfortable being "weird" 😂 and out of step with the current paradigm but it fills me with so much joy to find a fellow spirit traveller. That aside I know the paradigm is a changing as we consciously create the new cosmos we want. I think I saw in one of your posts about just sitting and visualising the change we want. Not looking out(side) to change but looking in and creating the change we want there. It almost brought tears to my eyes as this has been what I have been saying/thinking/knowing for a long while. More than happy to be your friend but in your case it has a stronger meaning. 💞 Amanda Hopkins Finding posts that resonate so true to my core has been far and few in between of an occurrence. Thank you for this breath of air in an otherwise submerged existence. Charles Bandelt So much to discuss. How are we so very certain that consciousness is exclusive to humans, mammals, living things? I’m only halfway through beyond biocentrism. It occurs to me that the intelligence of nature, or the circle of life if you Will is the most obvious identity of the consciousness we tend to think of as our own. We are products of that consciousness. I think that’s pretty well summed up in the very first quote heading the first chapter. But if that is so, then still something interferes. Humanity plays a unique role in this equation for sure. I am spellbound. Going to the Whole Human site now. Thank you for the post. Gary Yes, the cosmos of consciousness as it is called in 'Beyond Biocentrism' is the intelligence of Nature. All we perceive requires an observer in order for it to be manifest, which I understand to be a core principle of Biocentrism. There are eight blog posts on Whole Human drawn from the Biocentric books. I am always up for more conversation along these lines. Paul Cadaret P.C. - [There's a lot of oneness references, if that is how you want to look at biocentrism, that's a debatable description for what is happening in our reality.] G.S. - I do place emphasis on oneness, because that is what I resonate with. I don't ask or expect others to feel the same, and do not try to sell any particular viewpoint. And certainly, among humans, everything is debatable! P.C. - [There is another way of looking at it, instead of being all one, we are in fact according to my experiences, individuals living in an interactive Universe, we are not the creators of reality, but reality interacts with our observations, needs and expectations.] G.S. - There are many ways of looking at it, and none right or wrong. I feel no opposition to your way. P.C. - [Heart felt wants and expectations are manifested easily for me now, like the universe is tuned in, there was a universe before man could observe it, despite the split hole experiment interpretation, the universe is interactive, not passively created by observations.] G.S. - Yes, it is called quantum theory because it is a theory. Tell me more about 'Heart felt wants and expectations are manifested easily for me now, like the universe is tuned in' if you like. I am interested to know the whole story. Craige Beaumont THE ONLY thing we should ever be certain about Gary R. Smith , is that, no matter how much we think we know - we still have a helluva lot to learn.. Is there more to.... well, pretty much everything? My belief is yes! There is so much that we don't know.. Of course, with the way things are now, with censorship, social judgements for "having the wrong belief" etc etc etc etc. I'm not going to lie.. I don't think we're going to be doing any huge steps in learning or growth any time soon.. It saddens me to admit that. Gary How true. There is always a helluva lot to learn. I see your viewpoint. Some days, social media seems all hatred and judgements. Other days, there are breakthroughs of enlightenment, awakening, and sharing from genuine love. Though my post says 'I see more beyond', I claim to know nothing. My intent is only to share what I see, not to profess any special knowledge. Some days I feel little hope for humankind, other days I am far more optimistic. The vision is put 'out there' for any who feel resonance with it. But, I am glad to read the views of sincere people like you as well. Bichael Mennett No one in the age of European exploration thought the earth was flat. That's modern propaganda for idiots... Gary Yes, as my post says at the beginning, [The historical inaccuracy of this metaphor has been corrected by a reader comment, on the blog, linked below.] On the blog post, the reader's well-informed comment is included. Do I detect judgement in your tone? Bichael Mennett No, you detect suspicion about your motivations, as the loadings and connotations utilized in your post and this reply seem less spiritually minded than egoic. Gary Yes, you are probably right that ego-based motives were mixed into my writing of this post. Not that it matters, but according to Wikipedia, China until the 17th century subscribed to a flat Earth cosmography. Since my opening paragraph was clearly meant as metaphor rather than to cite historical fact, the details of that accuracy seem of minor importance. Still, I appreciate correction, and revised the wording on the Whole Human blog. Ego motives for my writing and yours remains an open question. Wikipedia - 'The flat Earth model is an archaic conception of Earth's shape as a plane or disk. Many ancient cultures subscribed to a flat Earth cosmography, including Greece until the classical period, the Bronze Age and Iron Age civilizations of the Near East until the Hellenistic period, India until the Gupta period (early centuries AD), and China until the 17th century.' Ken Matsushima Not bad . . . . but it works better if you avoid allusions to an invented, completely inaccurate Anglocentric account of "history." In the 1400s and 1500s, anyone capable of reading their own language understood that the world was round. Only the superstitious and the scientifically ignorant thought that it was flat. The reason why Henry of Portugal refused to fund Columbus was that his cartographers informed him (correctly, and to a high level of precision) that everyone would die of thirst and starvation before getting halfway to "Jipangu". At that time, Portuguese geographers and mathematicians were children compared with the level of astronomical and geometrical knowledge in the Islamic world, much less that in China or India. Yet they had traveled far enough around the circumference to calculate the degrees of latitude between the Canaries (the farthest point west) and the latitude that contains Japan and the so-called "Spice Islands". They told Henry that it was probably 160, and surely no more than 180 degrees of latitude, meaning that if you travelled West, the distance would be greater than if you traveled East. And the Portuguese already knew how to get there going east. Today, we know that it is about 155 degrees of latitude from the Canaries to Tokyo or easternmost Indonesia. That means it is 210 degrees in the opposite direction — roughly 60% FARTHER. The point I'm trying to make has nothing to do with history. The point has to do with your tone and direction. You've just figured out a very important truth. The world IS round! When you live in the darkness and uncertainty of a flat world and a flat life, this realization can be very powerful. There is the urge to go running into the streets shouting "Hallelujah! Christ *IS* born" or other such nonsense, because you now see the genuine, underlying truth behind those words. I understand the feeling. . . . But as I've just pointed out, people have known that the world is round for a very ... VERY long time. Maybe the average spud you encounter on the street doesnt understand this, but I assure you there are many ... many people — including some who are reading this exchange — who have also caught a glimpse of Truth, and they don't need you to tell them that the world is round. It should be obvious, from that premise, that some have probably gotten a clearer glimpse than you did, while some glimpsed a bit less. It should be equally obvious that NONE of us has yet managed to completely remove the glass from between our egoselves and the Undifferentiated Truth, and seen Him "face to face." If any of us had, we wouldnt be on Facebook. Don't act like one of the seven proverbial blind men who argued so loudly and incessantly about what the elephant Truly is, that the elephant got up and left the room. It is nice to share the joy we receive from these glimpses, and it is useful to discuss and compare the techniques or attitudes that helped us wipe the glass clean enough to see through. But it is important to remember: each person sees Truth in their own reflection — not in yours. When you start prostelytizing — figuratively trying to "sell" your personally patented little mirror to someone who received a perfectly good one of their own, direct from GOD.com — it should be clear that you are moving in an unproductive direction. Only a fool would think That they already know What they need to know. True humility lies not in leading others to Truth But in faithfully cultivating and caring for Truth Until it has encompassed everyone. Gary Ken Matsushima, Thank you for sharing your mirror. I do get your point, appreciate the historical correction of my metaphor, and hear your message. Exchanging perspectives, experiences, and personal insights — without defense, selling, or arguing, is what it is all about, to me. Gary Here is the link (thank you for asking) to the freely available 'One Being Mantra', Version 23.1 by Emanate Presence: https://www.wholehuman.emanatepresence.com/blog/one The post includes the full narrative (as I feel people should have a choice to know what they will be listening to), plus downloadable MP3 and PDF files. The audio is by a natural voice synthesizer, which works well for me. If a person prefers a human voice, other (shorter) mantras are recorded in my voice, and can be downloaded from the Home page. I am also glad to send audio files over PM, for anyone who prefers. The Whole Human site is non-commercial, so no advertising clutters the view. When you visit Whole Human, by clicking 'BLOG' in the top menu bar you will see other blog posts, including this one (Altered State), which has active links and helpful reader comments.
