Thanks Jameske (who had to bounce early to work, so most of the news is his).

Quote of the Day:

The animal staggered to its feet. It gave a mellow gurgle. ‘A very wise choice, sir, if I may say so. Very good,’ it said. ‘I’ll just nip off and shoot myself.’ He turned and gave a friendly wink to Arthur. ‘Don’t worry, sir,’ he said, ‘I’ll be very humane.’

  1. Induced After-Death Communication
    That’s a pretty good article Greg.

    One day it may be realized that the dead live, are located, in the brain.

    The connection between the dead and the living is much more present and constant than it is assumed.

    These therapies simply give an objective form to the process otherwise experienced as psychology. It just does not disappear because we are not focused on the phenomena.

    The realization of the psychological/psychic interactions with the dead will be paramount in the mental revolution required for this race to go to the next step.

    By reappropriating their psychic space, people will bar access to their brain, eliminating the world of the dead in the process and death itself.

    Fears, fixations and other similar mechanical human borrowed attributes can only be fixed at the root and I see this as a major cause.

    Of course, this means that once this has happened, another ether will be accessed when leaving the physical body behind.

      This is an interesting comment. Would you be willing to expand on it? I.e., is your idea of psychic space equivalent to a person’s aura? How does one reappropriate this space?

      I can visualize eliminating the world of the dead (another dimension or parallel space, perhaps), but how does eliminating that ‘world of the dead’ eliminate death itself? Death may be just another ‘feature presentation’ programmed into our consciousness by our creators, so I believe one day we can de-program ourselves about dying and re-program ourselves to live longer. How does my concept relate to the ‘world of the dead’, if at all?

      Could one not easily name the other ‘ether’ that will be accessed the ‘new world of the dead’ — if so, what is the difference between the old one and the new?

      From whom did we ‘borrow’ the fears, fixations, and other similar mechanical attributes?

      1. Reappropriation
        Hi Anon.

        I will try to be brief.

        The Aura is a field that is tied to the Vital body. It is an energy shell that determines or programs the physical shell. Its colors are representative to the evolutive state of the soul. A person who would have integrated his soul would have a perfectly white aura, the penetration of his spirit having replaced his programmed attributes with an energy that is ethereal rather than astral.

        Eliminating the access of the world of the dead to the individual’s psyche is what I meant. Having done this, the whole psychic territory of the individual is occupied with the energy of his real source, integrating the energy of the soul in the process, together with the life memories. This means the end of the astral experimental state of the mind and it also means the elimination of the need to return to the world of the dead since the ‘spirit’ of man does not belong there.

        To give you a graphic representation, if a spirit in the above sense showed itself to the dead, they would see it as a ghost, like we see the dead as ghosts. It belongs to an ether that is subtler than that of the astral and at the time of leaving the body, it therefore returns to its realm, like the soul does at death when it returns to the astral.

        The principle is not to eliminate the world of the dead per say but rather to extirpate one’s own consciousness from any possible influences that can be exerted by that class of consciousness. That world remains to support consciousnesses that have not completed their karmic initiation.

        So, I agree that death is a feature presentation but I would say that it is not ‘programmed’ into our consciousness but rather that it ‘is’ our consciousness. I liken the spirit, as described above, to our creator. Once it possesses the psychic territory of an individual, by merging/fusing with the soul, integrating the energy of the experience of the mortal, the state of death, an experimental condition, is neutralized.

        It is not something that someone can do willfully but it is something that someone can be aware of to avoid the full impact of the shock that comes with the penetration of the force that is the source of an individual’s consciousness.

        We can only deprogram ourselves if we are in a state of realization of the roots of our consciousness as an actual program. It cannot be an intellectual exercise; it can only be a state of realization.

        Death, the astral consciousness of man, cannot deprogram itself into something that is not made of its own fabric. The full penetration of the energy of the source of man’s consciousness must come down, when it decides that the karmic debt remaining can be burned without destroying the ego’s psychic and nervous systems.

        This can only depend on the evolutive state of the soul and that individual’s universal status. In other words, each individual has his own time and contrarily to the consciousness of death that works from societies and group consciousnesses, the time of that individual is independent from environmental consciousness. The time of that individual is his actual cosmic number.

        The new ether is not a world of the dead at all. The world of the dead is the world of astral consciousness.

        At death, the mortal’s parts return to their own world. The spirit returns to the ether, the soul returns to the dead, the body returns to the earth and so on. The connection between the spirit and the soul is broken, neutralizing the ego who loses consciousness. The soul is in self contemplation of itself, in other words, the soul becomes an active memorial principle that is totally centered on its memory, that it replays and re-enacts. It is incapable of any sort of evolution because of this separation with its associated creative force, its associated spirit. It must therefore return to complete its reincarnation cycle after having programmed its next life experience that aims at increasing its vibratory rate.

        During the incarnation phase, the connection between the spirit and the soul that result in the channel that is the ego, will be under constant attack from the dead who seek to feed upon the emotional energy of the living all the while insuring that the incarnated does not slip from their clutch. The mortal would slip from their clutch by becoming perfectly aware of its real nature, of their mental manipulations and of its link with reality.

        An integrated consciousness, resulting from the fusion between the source-spirit and the soul totally neutralizes that condition by fully possessing the psychic territory. The integration of the energy of the soul, which equates to its destruction, raises the soul’s energy level, its vibration, at a level that is beyond the reach of the dead.

        Such an integrated consciousness therefore cannot be split again. It is whole and it is one. Leaving the body therefore does not lead to a loss of consciousness of the ego since the ego as an energy channel is perfectly and permanently integrated into the process. This is what immortality is.

        We have been led to believe that immortality was the immortality of the body. That of course makes no much sense. The physical body is only the intersection of consciousness with that physical end of the spectrum. The integrated reality of man intersects all the planes of reality that this particular individual is allowed to access. One is allowed to access a finite number of planes based on his universal status. The universal status reflects the number of planes that are intersected by that consciousness.

        By integrating the soul and merging into a new ego, or a new vehicle, the source therefore gains a new universal status and at the same time puts an end to the reincarnation cycle.

        The ego who has then integrated that energy becomes the new avatar of his real consciousness.

        Fears fixations and other likewise attributes are equivalent to states of virtual possession. We are possessed by the energy that goes through the ego and not the other way around. Before we can start the real initiation, that of the integration of our energy, we must first be possessed by our source and ‘that’ is the initiation of initiations since it means the destruction of the egoic impression of self.

  2. ‘Chimp’ Looks A Little Blue Tonight…
    Well what does ‘Chimp’ expect when he WILL insist on using his OWN banana in his frozen banana daiquiris in the first place?

    But for that matter, is ‘Chimp’ any way to be referring to Jameske?
