Behind The Scenes

Behind The Scenes ©2017 Joan M. Newcomb

Driving home this morning, I was appreciating the scenery. There's a covered bridge on some acreage on the road I live on and today there was a wonderful mist hovering in the field beyond it. Viewing this world as DensityAndEffortland, I am continually awestruck at how real physical 'reality' is.

I suddenly had the impression of being on a movie set and could almost see the Devas and Nature Spirits who work on creating the set. Devas are the energetic architects of all things in physical form. Each thing has an individual nature spirit tending to it.

From the highest consciousness level, it's all me (just as it's all you, since we're all one). Not just my creation, but is all my energy as well. I was struggling with an appropriate analogy here, when I got the flash of an orchestra. An orchestra is producing one beautiful piece of music, yet it's many different instruments.

 When I came back from Findhorn I had learned several different songs along with the harmony to them. I recorded myself singing one part, then made a second recording of myself as I harmonizing with the melody/ I actually managed to do this with four part harmony with my voice singing all the parts.

Highest Consciousness is singing all the parts, but it trickles down to a multitude of instruments producing the vibrations. Physical reality is the symphony of sound.

When you identify yourself *as* Spirit, Source, as Highest Consciousness (even to say 'your' Highest Consciousness distances you from You) it raises your awareness and expands your perspective.

When you see the bigger picture, and sense all that is going on behind the scenes, you have an overwhelming appreciation of this creation.

It's not that this reality is an illusion, it's not fake, it's actually very deliciously physically real.

It completely changes your engagement in this world. Even though you may feel more neutral, less enmeshed in chaos and drama, you actually feel more in love with all of it. It's an incredible heart opening.

We're all on the tipping point of this right now. Any of us, at any moment, can shift into this new experience of reality.

We can't do this from our mind, it's not a matter of changing our thinking. It's an intuitive shift of perspective. The easiest way I find is to walk through invisible doors to parallel universes. Every step takes you to a new Universe. If you walk quickly, you don't have time to think about it.

Walking in this way subtly adjusts our reality. You'll notice yourself feeling lighthearted. The world will be brighter, clearer, in sharper focus. Doing this on a regular basis will transform your reality beyond your wildest imagination!

If This Is A Simulation, Are Other People Real??

If this is all a hologram, what about other people? It's one of the first questions that seems to come up, when learning that this reality is a simulation, is  "are other people real?"

A twist on this is, "If this is game, am *I* real?" And, "whose reality am I in?"

I struggled with this when I first grasped this concept that I, as Consciousness, created this for my own amusement. My teacher at the time basically said things like that other people were a creation of my Consciousness, they were another aspect of myself, a reflection of myself.

Now, I'm an empath, and I could feel my relatives who lived 3,000 mile away, and I knew they weren't my feelings and that my relatives weren't me.

And when I was back East helping my parents die, I was creating myself to participate, but they were creating their own realities that I was participating in.

The thing is, even though reality is a simulation, a kind of hologram created by Consciousness, doesn't mean that it's fake. This game is meant to be real, that's why it's called Physical Reality. It's meant to be felt, tasted and touched. Your body is a real, biologically manufactured vehicle for you as Consciousness.

What about other people? It's not accurate to say they are other aspects of yourself, but You are Consciousness and so is everyone else. Other people are real, as much as you are.

The teacher I had indicated that the "extras" in your reality weren't real, they were just stories in your story line. I've come to see that this game is bigger and more complex than that. Everyone is real. And everyone is a creation of Consciousness and everyone *is* Consciousness, whether they know it or not.

However, I have found that, when you operate as Consciousness other personalities can change. People who were 'bad tempered' can shift to being easy to get along with. People can come into your storyline saying things that you'd only just thought about.

People can suddenly leave your storyline when you've shifted to a different vibratory awareness. At one of my meetups, someone was dealing with an abusive boss. They played the "parallel universe" game and when they went to work the next week, the boss resigned. I explain that she didn't make them resign (that's not how you play the game at this level), but she'd stepped into a parallel universe where they did.

As you keep upleveling your experience, you become more distinctly aware of your own Uniquesness and at the same your own inner connection to All That Is.

As Consciousness, you created this to be the opposite of who you really are. That's why there are different people, places, plants, animals, things. There's conflict in this reality because there is only harmony and oneness as Consciousness.

As Consciousness, you love your creations. You love yourself and your body, and those you've created to interact with. And they've created themselves to interact with you.

As Essence we're all Consciousness but it would be skipping a step, or missing out on this planetary realm's uniqueness to dismiss individuals as fake or that you're the only one that's real.

It's much more fun to relax into this reality as Consciousness, to appreciate it all in it's infinite complexity and enjoy

Values and Worth

Values and Worth ©2015 Joan Newcomb

What's most important in life for you?  Where do you focus 90% of your attention? What do you spend most of your money on? Do you feel satisfied with your life?

The answer to these questions may - or may *not* give you a clue about your core values.

For instance, your children may be of the utmost importance, so you work two jobs to support them, but you never get to see them, because you're working, so you don't feel satisfied with your life. 

Perhaps you spend most of your money on clothes, because you want to appear fashionable but you really you feel like the geeky kid you were in middle school.

These are examples where you aren't living your life in alignment with your values.  Your sense self worth is affected.

Sometimes what you *don't* spend money on also reflects your values.

When you know what your values are, it helps you make decisions.  You may value relationships. You may value communication.  But you make $300 an hour at Microsoft spending most of your day debugging software in a room by yourself.  Now you understand why you're rich, but not happy.

Perhaps your top values are honesty and integrity, and you're dating someone charming and handsome but who compulsively lies.  You now know whether or not to stay in the relationship.

Spiritual, emotional and material values don't always harmonize.  Your family may value hard worth and fiscal responsibility, but you value creativity and freedom.  Your Church may say they follow the values of Christ and yet aren't compassionate or nonjudgemental.

Don't allow others to determine your worth.  You are priceless.  You are a gift to this world.  You are Consciousness here to enhance the collective experience by being uniquely YOU.

Your core values are clues to your life purpose.  You're here to express yourself as Consciousness in physical form.  Your artistic abilities are your spiritual language.  If you write, if you sing, if you dance, if you act, if you paint, if you knit, if you cook, if you garden, it is the greater aspect of you communicating the essence of who you are.

To identify your top core values, take this questionnaire.

Hope this helps you navigate life in the direction of your choice!
