WHY THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET POORER

Why is it that the rich get rich and the poor get poorer?

How many times have you heard someone ask that question? To many it certainly seems to be true, and for reasons I will mention here, it is not far off the mark. Generally speaking, the rich do indeed get richer and the poor get poorer, more than the other way around. Why do the rich get richer, because it’s what they do and the poor are just doing the same, what they know how to do. Both groups harboring divergent interests and beliefs have one thing in common and that is that they are both operating within learned behavior patterns and learned skills acquired of one life or a series of lifetimes.

They are doing what they know how to do. The rich have learned how to accumulate wealth and are unconsciously going about the only thing they know how to do, get richer. The poor have learned how to be poor, and they are doing what they have learned to do, be poor. Neither expects anything different and “Expectations are the driving force behind all realities.

You should understand that in this respect, without the personal sentiment that you have toward events that seem to happen to you, from the perspective of the universe, both are neutral, and being rich is no better or worse than being poor. Behind the reality of “Rich or Poor” there are always underlying reasons for that condition. So we are faced with the question, why would someone choose to be poor rather than rich? And as Lowell Thomas always said, here is the rest of the story.

You chose to live an “Earth” life, actually lives. You chose to be born on “Earth” for reasons probably not consciously known to you at this time, but known or unknown, the purpose of your existence is known to your inner self. Technically, there is no actual limit to the number of lives you will live on the physical plane, but there are practical limitations for the development of all consciousness and there is always movement ahead, a progression eventually into more advanced systems. This movement ahead is of course, called evolution, and do to its ahead nature, it is not called de-evolution.

You are in a sense, on a reconnaissance mission for your soul/entity. You are in the physical system because you are a beginner personality, reconnoitering and experiencing the Earth reality through a series of lives at the behest of the soul. The Soul is not a finished product, you see, so it seeks knowledge of many different systems, including earth. Earth is a beginning, kindergarten kind of system as systems go, but a very unique, demanding and beneficial experience for emerging consciousness as it learns the responsibility associated with the creation and manipulation of energy into physical matter.

You are learning the basics of creation in one of the most challenging environments, and you are not only learning for yourself, but also for your soul/entity. Your soul is not a completed thing, it too is learning and evolving, but where your experience is now intently focused in one reality system, the soul experiences though multiple personalities in multiple systems simultaneously.

You think you are a certain age, so if I ask you, how old you are, you reply 27, or 45 or 76 and you think your total experience is limited to those allotted years in this life. You think that you were born into this life with a blank slate of knowledge. Those years are simply the age of the physical body that you now conveniently use in this life, but that physical body is not YOU. The real you, the true identity, the psychic personality that you really are, is much, much older, has lived before and will live again. In light of that, you will delve into challenges and problems to solve in this life that taken from a “one life” perspective, may not make much sense to you.

Why would one person be born into a rich family and live a life of luxury when another is born into a life of poverty, living on the streets in squalor? If you really think about it, the only real logical reason is that one life is not the end of the road and beneficial experience is garnered from a series of lives, one reflecting on another, knowledge learned in one life passed on, lying latent in the genes, but still available to those who seek.

You would think from that statement, that each succeeding life would get better and better, easier and easier, but that is not always the case, although it is pretty much the norm, there are no rules that dictate your progression or regression as you navigate through the challenges of consecutive lives. You must always keep in mind, that your “ego oriented” goals may not be the same as your “soul/entity goals. It’s kind of like the “What would Jesus do?” thing, in that your soul has longer term considerations regarding your progress and it would not be unusual for someone who was quite evolved and intellectually well developed, to accept a lifetime of severe mental or physical challenges if it would round out a personality that was deficient in certain areas necessary for progression to other more evolved systems..

What I am saying here is that you can’t judge a persons financial position in this lifetime solely on his or her present situation. Some people are born into this life with a pre-disposition to wealth, pleasure and relative ease and enjoyment, and it sometimes has to do more with what they experienced in a previous life than what they have done in this life. Generally, and this is only a generality, because there are so many influencing considerations here, but usually, because of previous life learned skills and talents, each succeeding lifetime gets easier as one gets a better handle on the usage and manipulation of the life-force energy available to it. Another consideration is simply this, if a personality has experienced a previous life of extreme hardship, he may opt for a following life of ease, devoid of problems and challenges. This person could be perceived as living a life of privilege, sometimes seen as undeserved to those around him.

The last thing I want to mention here, is this; that when you learn any skill or talent, it will be never be forgotten, it will be latent, and woven into the chromosomes of the physical body in the next lifetime and permanently recorded in precise coded electrical intensities and impulses in the physical brain and the non-physical mind forever, although it may not be consciously recalled. There will then be a pre-disposition toward usage of those skills in the future. If, for instance, in one lifetime, you were a talented pianist, then in future lives there may be a fondness for piano performances, a longing to study music or actually take piano lessons, a carry-over from a previous life . This would also hold true with previous lifetime acumen and skills along financial lines. In other words, it may seem to others that an individual is almost tapping into other-worldly information to achieve fame and fortune when indeed, they were.

What you learn, will be with you always, and looking from the outside in, it may seem that some people are clairvoyant or just lucky in accumulating riches, when in fact, the are using skills honed in other lives. Remember, overall, there is nothing inherently wrong with money or riches and the knack of making money is no more right or wrong than the art of painting a masterpiece or running a four minute mile, and the value judgement must always be considered in light of what one does with their talent. Once you acquire the skill of making money or any other skill, you will never lose it, so those who seem to get richer and richer, are simply doing what comes naturally, it’s what they do, but it may have taken them several lifetimes to hone their skills.

Getting what you want, be it riches and wealth, love or the possession of physical objects, depends on your ability to utilize the available energy of the universe to create and manipulate objects and events in your life, and in this respect, it would behoove you to read some of our material on the creation of reality. Think about it, desire it and expect it and it will come. This then, is the secret of the successful, creative self and some have learned this lesson better than others. We will be addressing this subject again soon, because it is all important in helping you to create a better life for yourself, and that is my only real goal.

WHAT YOU WANT EXISTS NOW - HOW TO GET IT

I realize that I am getting way ahead of myself in discussing this subject, but as I have said, I try to touch on this material from different perspectives since none of this would make sense unless it is considered it a totality of all reality and all reality systems. Of course, there is no way to know the totality of all systems, worlds or universes, but an understanding of one gives hints to the reality of others. As an example, try to imagine a system of reality where the inhabitants do not utilize any of the physical senses that you consider necessary for manipulation within the earth system.

The worlds that we are going to try to explain to those who are ready, are not easy to understand, but in this material we are going to attempt once again to explain how not only do you create your own reality, but how in the greater scheme of things, to convince you that what you want already exists and your job is to retrieve what you already have access to. So in that sense, what you want, inherently belongs to you if you can manage to walk the right path to retrieve it.(this has nothing to do with religion). To explain any of this is a task that is almost impossible, but if I do no more than alert you to your vast untapped and unlimited potential, then we have indeed accomplished something. I am sometimes frustrated as I try to explain in mere words, something that will never be understood by the human intellect alone. Words are symbols of something else and since words have never been invented to symbolize these difficult multidimensional concepts, I fear I will not make myself clear. There is one thing you must understand, bottom line, all realities are mental realities and your physical construction of objects and events are simply the appearances that mental images take within the Earth system. Physical constructions are illusions, but they are “Real Illusions”, so while you are in a physical body, you must adhere to the rules that govern their reality.

As you know, I have found analogies to be helpful in painting a mental picture of something that no words exist to explain. So, once again I resort an analogy, and I must say, I am really proud of this one and I do believe it will lead in you the right direction. As you begin to trust in your inner knowledge, rather than just the intellect, you will begin the sense the rightness in what I say here. Your inner self knows more than all of the information contained in allof the books that have ever been written, and when you begin to recognize this repository of inner knowledge that is somewhat at your disposal, when you begin to trust “Yourself”, you will begin to understand that there are really no limitations to the “Self”.

So let’s begin.!
If I were to tell you as I often have done, that you actually created your past, used it, lived it, then tucked it away in your memory when you were done with it so you could concentrate on creating your present, you would probably understand. If I told you that the past still exists in coded electromagnetic data in the brain and mind, available so you could retrieve it at your convenience, learn from it, then file it back in its proper place for future use, you would understand that too. If I told you that the present exists in precisely the same coded electromagnetic data as the past and that your recognition of this data through your exterior senses, presents you with your world of appearances and experiences that you call the present, you would accept that too. After you have fully utilized this present, you will catagorize it and store it away with past experiences and begin delving into the future which will then materialize to become the present..

In actuality, you created your past and present by selecting the specific experiences and appearances from the expanded inner universe of probabilities. This universe of probabilities is in a way the “Wal Mart” of objects and events that all consciousness utilizes in creating its own specific flavor or physical worlds. Worlds, some similar and some alien in every respect to yours, all access future experience from this storehouse of probabilities. I have told you before that the TWO BASIC characteristics of physical systems (Earth included) are “Reincarnation” and “Probabilities”. Without probabilities in the physical systems attuned to the dictates of “time”, your world would be mired in the present and unable to step into the future, it would stagnate and wither, acting out the same events over and over with no perceived or available future. I am inferring here, in case you didn’t catch it, that the future exists NOW, in precisely the same quality that the past and present exists, electromagnetically coded data.

It is not too far fetched to ask you to consider the fact that even now, you create your future through what you do today. It is common practice to think about tomorrow, to imagine what you want next week, to desire a certain event or the acquisition of a certain object at some time in the future, so in essence, what you are doing NOW is planning the future and this is exactly the way you create it, except that you don’t consider it that way at this time. What you are really doing with every act you engage in today is steering yourself today in the direction of what you want to happen to you tomorrow. Since you don’t realize that you are actually deeply involved in the creative process, you usually pay it no attention and you don’t realize the importance of each and every action that you take today.

There is one small thing that you don’t know. The future already exists in the expansive universe of probabilities and although you can’t get a glimpse of this vast universe while in your physical body, you do visit it in the dreaming state, and that is were most of the groundwork is done. When you are dreaming dreams, seemingly still somewhat connected with your physical plane, only experiencing things that are still strange to you, you are dabbling in the world of probabilities, trying out possible future solutions to today’s problems, working on new avenues of expression of your consciousness in the world of matter.

If the universe of probabilities can be compared to the Wal Mart of all possible events, where your dreaming self rummages around to find the suitable future events that will be most advantageous for your present life situation, then the dreaming state could be likened to the “dressing room” where all possible new events can be tried on to see how they fit before you make a final selection for activation into yourlife on the physical plane.

We are dealing with future probabilities from your perspective, events that have not yet happened, this is why dreams seem so chaotic and unrealistic and seem to escape any kind of continuity that you are used to. This dream universe is the medium where future events can be manipulated, changed and adapted before you accept them and project them into concrete objects and events in your everyday world of physical fact. You have no idea how much work you actually do while you are dreaming. In other words, nothing happens in your life, that to some extent has not been first sampled and considered by your dreaming self before materialization.

Now, I said, that to some extent you do exactly the same thing now, except that, and I must now go back to the subject that we have discussed before in our material on “Probabilities”, and it is that the past, present and yes, the future, exist NOW. Every event that has ever happened, is happening now and will ever happen can be viewed and manipulated by consciousness to the extent of its abilities. Everything is happening simultaneous, yet never completed in the vast expanded present, Expanded to the extent that it includes the past, present and future simultaneously. I realize that this is almost at the mental precipice of the human brain to grasp, but the mind knows otherwise and you have access to your mind. You might view this concept as everything that ever was and ever will be, is NOW in an ever expanding FIRST EVENT that knows no beginning and no end. In that respect, this first event could be called God or All That Is and gives some hint of the real meaning of infinity.

I cannot at this time go into explaining the existence of probabilities (see other articles on probabilities) other than to say, that in your terms, these “already existing” future images and events would not be real, but they would from the perspective of the consciousness involved with these images, be as real as your world is to you.

The Probable universe is so rich, bountiful and abundant that it is impossible for the human brain to really get a handle on its true meaning, but let me try. Every act that you initiate today (now), every event, by its very creative action, creates not only itself, but drags along with itself every conceivable outcome, every possible next event. In terms of continuity in time, no act or event stands alone, but in its creation, brings along with it, its own probable past present and future. Of course what you consider to be creating a new event is simply activating a probable event that you have decided to materialize into the physical system, for reasons that serve your own purposes. Follow-up probable future events will be selected and influenced by the characteristics and nature of the present event that you have selected for your NOW. With that in mind, some events will seem to fit better into your present daily life than others, in other words some probable events will be more probable than others, and more likely to materialize. It is kind of like the blossoming of a flower that never ceases to blossom, increasing its depth and value presence in psychological terms, but not in size.

Now we are getting somewhere I think. These probable future events are as real as your concrete, physical objects and events are from your viewpoint, but because of your intense focus in the physical system, you simply cannot see them as real. Now, if this is the case, then everyone should be able to have what they want wouldn’t they?

Here is the problem, and it’s a big problem indeed, but it can be understood and put to work for your benefit. This selection by you of probable objects and events is done smoothly and (UNCONSCIOUSLY), and the harder you try to initiate this process consciously, the less effective it becomes. What you consciously try to get, to force into your life, will always elude you. The very act of consciously trying to directly create a future event in your life, short circuits the inner psychic processes that work so well unconsciously. There IS a process you can use effectively, and it is not arbitrary, so when you learn the secret, your life will become immeasurably better, and I am going to outline here what you should do. It is important to understand that this creative process does not just work some of the time, properly executed, following universal law on the properties of energy, these processes must work all of the time. Their effectiveness depends on your emotional input and the strength and duration of your desire and expectation.

If you remember in some past articles on creating events in your life, I suggested that you should think about something you want in your life for only a few minutes a day, then forget it. Repeat only for a few minutes daily, because to do more is detrimental to the creation process. Keep what you want in the back of your mind, but do not over-concentrate on it. You have been taught that more is better, but in this case more is less, so don’t over do it. Psychic phenomena show themselves best when they are unconsciously instigated and that is why “Psychics, Mediums and Seers” have so much trouble proving their abilities to skeptics on demand.

Here then is the secret that you should know. Every possible event in your life is probable, meaning that everything that is possible is also probable, but some things are more probable than others, and that my friends is the secret. Some existing probable events will better fit into your life as it is now structured than others. You have unknowingly created a comfortable path for the creation of certain compatible future events to be inserted into your future life. You have unconsciously made some probable events more likely to happen in your future by creating the type of present that you are now experiencing. In an over simplified way, the future event that you want already exists, and I mean that not in a symbolic way, but in a very real way.

What you want already IS, but because you have evolved a system that requires time, (minutes, hours and days), you must experience your events in a logical order, one at a time. You experience your reality in bits and pieces, not in wholes, otherwise your present would be more inclusive and include bigger pieces of your past and future. It doesn’t matter what object or event you desire in your life, in a way, it is waiting in your future, waiting for you to take it, fill it in with molecular structure and make it truly yours, but to do this you must first create the channel for its easy retrieval. The ego will usually accept what it sees as the most logical future probable event for actualization into the world of matter. The inner self will then accommodate the ego’s wishes and create just that event, and that may or may not be what you really want.

You must then, construct the path to the desired event that you really want without forcing the situation. You do that by thinking about what you want now, but only for a few minutes a day. Now, this is very important, you must begin to augment the psychic process that you have initiated by taking small physical steps in the direction to grease the path for the desired future event to slide into, otherwise to the ego, all future probabilities will be equal. You must create a natural, logical course of progression from your present to your desired future.

You have to make it easier for the future probable event to come to you, you have to create the void for it in your life, you have to physically and psychically take it, and you take it by opening the easiest channel and making it the MOST PROBABLE of all other existing probable events to fill that void in your reality. Remember, the MOST PROBABLE event is the one that will take on the REAL characteristics of matter that predominate in the three dimensional physical world and you don’t have to force it. In a very real way, what you want is attracted to you already, but you must open the door to invite it in. Do not try to force it, you will get what you want by doing the necessary groundwork making its emergence into Earth reality inevitable.

Finally, even though you may find this hard to accept, please trust what I say here as it will help you understand and get what you really want in your life. The time to doubt what I am saying is when I begin passing the collection plate and issuing indulgences.

Every possible event exists now, past, present and future even though the future does not seem to be available to you at this time. This is not a symbolic statement. Every possible next event that will happen in the unlimited inner world of probabilities and the probabilities are real. Tomorrow exists today, but not yet for you. What you have to do is claim it and make it yours and you do this by making it an appropriate extension of your present. As OJ Simpson’s attorney might say, if it doesn’t fit, you won’t see it.

Its like a new mother that has prepared the new babies room for its arrival. You will KNOW when you are going to get what you want when you have sufficiently prepared the way for its emergence and it seems to you that the possible future event that you have thought about is the ONLY ONE that makes any sense. You must make your present the most suitable home for the new probable future event that you want. The thing you most want will be actualized somewhere, sometime by someone, it might as well be you. No probable event goes un-experienced, and here is something we have not yet touched on. At the point that you settle on ONE probable future event, there will be a splitting off of another probable self (parallel self), another aspect of your personality, and they will experience the other probable future options that you did not choose.

Alas, time is so short and there is so much more to say but we will discuss your other multi dimensional probable selves.

USING ASSUMPTION AND REINFORCEMENT TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE

I wanted to touch on this subject as it relates to all areas of your life, but in this short discussion, I want to explain how false assumptions, fear and reinforcement can create effects in your life that can be debilitating and they need not be. For the purposes of this article, I will use an analogy and try to relate it to illness since we have been discussing illness in the last few articles.

Lets assume that you awaken one morning with severe indigestion that is very unusual for you and you wonder why you are feeling so badly. You begin searching your memory to see if you can remember anything that you had recently eaten or drank that could have caused the indigestion. You remember that in your last meal, dinner the night before, you drank a glass of milk which was very unusual for you, so it occurs to you that maybe it was the milk that gave you the indigestion. Your memory calls up information that you had read about some people being “lactose intolerant”, and that seems like a logical reason for your problem. You wonder if you could have become lactose intolerant in the years since you had drank milk and with this information at hand, you decide not to drink milk again for a few days.

Now, here’s the important thing, it matters not if this is a plausible assumption or not because now you have planted the mental seed, a “fear” of drinking milk even though milk may or may not have been the problem. So your decision “not to drink milk” is actually a reinforcement of that fear and the “lactose intolerant” idea is imprinted in your belief system and becomes more probable as your belief intensifies. In this case, the decision “not to drink milk”, reinforces the belief that you may indeed be lactose intolerant. The interesting thing here is that not drinking milk, a non-action, reinforces the limiting belief even though the limiting belief is false.

So, when you “don’t” drink milk for the next few days and the indigestion does not return, you assume that milk was indeed the cause of your indigestion when it may have been nothing more than a temporary inconvenience that would have dissipated and disappeared had you just ignored the problem. The important thing here is that you can sometimes “over think” innocent and meaningless trivialities in your life, to the point that you give them energy that they do not deserve, reinforcing the faulty belief and possibly causing bigger problems in the future. You get what you concentrate on and if what you concentrate on is negative, you get negative results. The creative process is neutral in that respect.

Remember, what you are experiencing NOW was once the future viewed from the context of your personal past, so it is important to consider what you accept into your current belief system, because what you think about today will become real in your present tomorrow. Now, it is important that you not take this too literally, trying to analyze your every thought, becoming over protective of your unique, free wheeling, freedom of choice type of consciousness. It is important that you understand that the relevance of “concentration and expectation” in creating your future.

I have said this so many times that you are probably getting weary of hearing it, but it cannot be said too often, “You get what you concentrate on and what you expect”. If there is a law of attraction, then there is a law of “concentration and expectation”, quite possibly the same law viewed from a slightly different perspective. So, I hope you can see how the innocent enough assumption that milk created the indisposition in our little analogy, given enough impetus and lingering concentration, could indeed bring about reoccurring lactose intolerance and indigestion even though the initial assumption was wrong to begin with. You will indeed be creating exactly what you want to avoid.

A fleeting thought does have a reality of its own, but fleeting thoughts, thoughts that happen and disappear, will actualize as something, somewhere, but because of their temporary nature passing harmlessly out of your system, they will not appreciably affect you. What will affect you is the continuing acceptance of a thought as valid and perpetuating that thought, in a sense, energizing it and giving it more reality than it deserves. When a thought becomes a belief it begins to materialize and become an integral part of your life whether or not it is true or false.

Of course, you can use this knowledge to your benefit by realizing the importance of what you allow into your belief system. It is very true to say that you are the result of your accumulated beliefs, for better or worse. You are the physical appearance of an inner state of being. If you are a physical wreck, if your health is bad, if you are depressed, if you lack financial stability, your family life is discordant, then you need to give some serious attention to the belief system that you have acquired over time and consider making some adjustments. What you are inside will manifest itself outside. The physical body is a barometer of the state of your inner psychological reality which will eventually show itself in the corporal body.

Be careful when making assumptions because it doesn’t make a hill of beans difference whether your assumptions are right or wrong, when an association is made, it will begin accreting affirming evidence of its own validity. Once accepted, even a wrong belief will prove itself to you, because you see, you will also unknowingly be creating the corroborating evidence because of the belief. You will always find what you are looking for because any evidence disproving the belief will gradually fall to the wayside and disappear since you pay it no attention. Any closely held belief, right or wrong, true or false, valid or invalid, will always make perfect sense to you since the ego will filter out any contrary evidence and conflicting beliefs will become transparent. What you pay attention to will endure and what you ignore will disappear.

Remember this, today’s truths will be tomorrow’s fictions. When a belief, true or false, becomes universally accepted in your world, it will always work for a limited length of time, then a new belief will surface and replace the past belief and the new reality will follow. That is why, over time, you will find that one diet works perfectly up to a certain point, then a new diet will become the rage. As more and more people accept the new diet method of weight loss, it will become the accepted world belief and will work, even though it may be diametrically opposed to the previous method which also worked for some time. You could legitimately say that what everyone believes, will work. When societies beliefs change, then the reality will follow.

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE UNIVERSE AND BEYOND

In our many subjects that we have discussed here in some depth, there are inherent basic principles that are sacrosanct in your physical universe, the dream universe, the universe of anti matter, all other universes, fields, planes and dimensions, and they are innumerable and as valid as yours. All universes are not all the same obviously but for that matter, many worlds are not the same in your own cozy little universe either. So I can talk about these basic principles and how they fit into the overall scheme of things without fear of some alien intelligence challenging my statements. (Smiling).

I have wanted to talk about these universal principles for some time and now is as good a time as every to give you some background that will hopefully make it easier to understand some of the material we will discuss here. The order of discussion is not important here, in other words, all fo these principles discussed here are equally important, but I speak of them as they come to mind. You might wonder why this knowledge is important to you, and I wouldn’t blame you a bit for asking, because truth is that you can live your life quite satisfactorily without intimate knowledge of the inner working of your world and universe. The important aspects about your reality operate automatically, whether you know of their existence or not, but there are some important aspects that can help you enlarge your scope of perception and increase the quality of your personal life.

Also, there comes a time in the evolution of all consciousness when progression through lives brings about this knowledge whether you actively seek it or not. The knowledge and information we discuss in these articles, will be common knowledge in years to come, so in that respect, you are ahead of the game. Reincarnation will be universally accepted, the existence of the soul as a meaningful, purposeful, intelligent entity, closely involved with its personalities development will be understood.

Since your dream universe is the closest example that you can use as a comparison for this discussion, I will using analogies with your dreaming state in some of these discussions. The universe of anti matter is also close to you in terms of actualisation and distance but is basically out of reach to you and will basically always be out of reach even though a part of your identity resides there. In rather simple terms, it exists on the other side of the dream universe and remains inaccessible. I wanted to touch on these six basic attributes of ALL UNIVERSES, not so much to tell you what “IS”, but to acquaint you with what “ISN’T” relative to your own universe. Some of the principles that you consider real are only real in your world, and some times, not even real in other realities in your own universe.

Inter-Universal Adaptability; The principles that fit into this category are applicable and apply to all universes, fields, planes, dimensions and all worlds contained therein, both physically materialized and non-physical. They have and share either some or all of the characteristics that when applied to one, will apply to all. This implies that there are some characteristics that apply to your world that you may assume are universal when viewing them from your world’s platform of experience, but are not universal. Fortunately because of the existence of your dream universe, I have a leg to stand on here in furthering my explanations and the analogies that I use will apply..

So let me simplify this somewhat by saying that in using the dream universe as an example, maybe I can make my points, since what are common characteristics between the dream universe and your physical universe, will also hold for all other universes. Obviously, your universe is physically materialized and the dream universe, although it shares some of the characteristics of a physical universe, it is by no means a thick, rigid or continuous as yours, but it is materialized through the use of atomic structure and the manipulation of molecules, although not to the same degree in mass. Let me give some examples of Universal Rules and how they apply, but keep in mind that these are only a few of the universal principles and we will discuss others in due time.

1. Locomotion or Motion of Self; Getting around is an important aspect of all universes. You walk, run, jump or creep in the physical universe and you do all of this and more in the dream universe, including flying on occasion, so locomotion or movement through space of one form or another is a commonality in all worlds in all universes. Locomotion or movement of self IS a basic universal principle.

2. Time and Continuity; Time in your world is experienced as a series of passing moments, one before the other, stretching out into the future, one fading out as the other comes into view. The past seems to fade away, finished, done, never to be really revisited except in memory, complete and unchangeable. I don’t have to convince you that time simply is not experienced the same way in the dream universe, since you can experience a months events in a matter of moments in the dreaming state and never miss one iota of experience. You could, for instance, experience your entire high school career in a half hour dream.

In the dream state, time is plastic and malleable, it can be shortened or lengthened, but if you could measure time in the dream state, you would find that an hour of dreaming did not actually cost you an hour of clock time off of your life span. Translated, in the dream state, you do not age at the same rate as the waking state. This fact alone could be of some interest when your civilization reaches the point of prolonged space flights to distant planets, but by then, this will not be needed because space flight by rocket ship will be passe by then and never used to any great extent due to the vast distances between inhabited intelligent systems. In some systems “consecutive time” is not used and events are experienced not in passing moments but in groupings of similarity of events or order of importance. An aside; time would not exist as it does in your world without the human species, so in a sense, you inflict time on yourself and your system. Time is an illusion and is NOT a basic universal principle.

3. Space or Distance; Since time and space kind of go hand in hand, you might suppose that no self respecting minute would go without a corresponding unit of distance, and you would be right. Distance is rather important in your physical world, simply because perceptions must travel a certain distance through the nerve structure from your finger tip through your arm before reaching your brain, giving the convincing impression that distance is involved in physical perception. To travel distance, takes time. But most worlds are not physical and you can see that in your dream universe, perceptions can be instantaneous and simultaneous to an outstanding degree even though a body is involved, though not materialized in the normal sense of the word. In the dream universe, you have a body, but since it has no appreciable mass, it does not require time for its perceptive abilities and you can travel from one end of your country to the other in a dream in a matter of minutes.

I also want to mention, as you know I talk frequently about many universes, and you may wonder where they are, where do they exist, since your universe takes up so much space, how is there room for other universes. Do they exist where your universe ends at the edge of space? Since space is an illusion, and a very handy one I must admit, because there is nothing like a walk along a deserted beach in the morning mist, and without the illusion, this would be quite impossible. I am not saying that the illusion is not useful, and you had better honor the illusion while in the physical world or the consequences could be dire indeed.. I know this is a mind bender, and you may think that all universes, fields and dimensions must exist strung out, one after the other in space, at least from your perspective, but from others perspectives, it just doesn’t look that same way. All exist and coexist in the same space and no distance is involved! Space and distance are also an illusion and space is NOT a basic universal principle.

4. Gravity; Gravity is a handy tool for the existence of physical stuff like you and your cherished objects, since it keeps you from floating out into space, which doesn’t really exist anyway, but for now you better pretend it does. Gravity can sometimes be a problem as evidenced by the vast amount of energy required to lift your rockets into space. Since you can run faster, jump higher and sometimes even fly in the dream state, we can get beyond this one quickly. Gravity is NOT a universal principle within your universe, even though you could certainly measure its effects with your instruments. Gravity does not even hold for other worlds in your same universe although your instruments would tell you otherwise. Of course the reason that it can be measured, is that your measuring instruments are constructed in your universe and they will confirm whatever you invented them to measure. Other planets with other beings with their own rules, their own instruments and parameters for existence and their own (different than yours) preceptors, will experience gravity differently or not at all. Gravity is NOT a basic universal principle. Although your scientists will not agree at this time.

5. Connectivity with everything that is. Everything is connected, from the smallest insect on your planet to the speck of dust on the farthest star. The seemingly empty space in-between is simply the un-manifest portions of consciousness as it acts as an artificial separator of manifest portions of consciousness, human beings, animals, objects and events. The ego ignores what it doesn’t want to perceive, and that is far more than it does choose to perceive. This is not your fault, it is the nature of the ego as it struggled for dominance in an emerging world. The ego tries to separate itself from action, but this is impossible since the ego is a part of action, the separation does not really exist, but the appearance of separation does. The apparent separation of man from “All That Is” (God) was incipient in the beginning before the first physical particle was formed and was necessitated by the need for the exponential expansion of consciousness.

Of course, all consciousness, yours and others that predominate in other worlds and other universes, chooses how and what to accept as part of their own reality, but in all worlds, even though there may be distortions and distinctions, the connection of everything “that is” still exists universally. It seems that your world and your universe is a closed system, independent of all others, but this is an appearance only, and all universes are connected and dependent upon each other to some extent. It is theoretically possible to perceive everything that exists and to experience that connectivity, but that unique lofty position and ability is reserved for “All That Is”.At this point, you are surrounded with, immersed in and inundated by so much other unseen data that you are already equipped and capable of perceiving, but choose to ignore, that if you were able to perceive it in its totality, it would drive you to insanity. So for those of you fond of religious connotation, it is quite true to say that :” We are all One”, and that is not a symbolic statement. Connectivity of everything IS a basic universal principle.

6. Universal Consciousness; Everything is conscious to some extent. The elemental energy of
“All That Is” (God), the Prime Source of all creation is inherent in all that exists in any universe. There was no beginning, but for practical purposes, there was an original emergence or awakening from a state of non-being. Since in that ancient beginning that never was, there was nothing but the original energy Source, we can legitimately assume that everything that came thereafter originated in that original emergence and was inherently linked to that initial consciousness. You live in a system of appearances, and everything that appears to be what it is, is only an overlay of atomic structure filling in psychic patterns created by consciousness.

There are of course, many flavors and colorations of consciousness from the lesser to the greater, but to some extent all consciousness, even that of a minute electron possesses limited awareness of its own being. You can then rightly assume that all physical forms arising from the tendency of atoms to form pattern structures, are to some extent self aware since the building blocks of your physical appearances are themselves conscious.. I am saying that even a rock possesses its unique “rock” type of consciousness, and knows that it exists and enjoys its own fulfillment found in the very motion of its atoms as they give it its own unique characteristics. A rock is obviously not a little person and will never say “Hello, have a nice day”, but in its own limited range of perception, which is totally different than yours, can sense the warmth of the sun on its surface and the shade of the impending dusk. What I am saying here is that you are emerged in a sea of consciousness and that consciousness stretches through the vast expanses of the universe. I want to make it clear, that in saying that something is conscious does not mean that I am assigning your term of “Living Matter” to it, since what “lives” and doesn’t live is purely arbitrary and you draw the hypothetical line between living and dead matter. Finally, there is no “dead” matter, there is only matter that you consider dead because you don’t see it move. Universal Consciousness of Everything IS a basic universal principle.

7. Reincarnation and continuity of consciousness; Once formed, conscious identity cannot be reversed, withdrawn, diminished, negated or annihilated, it is eternal in that respect, it can change and evolve, but it cannot be destroyed. This means that the YOU that you love so much will always exist and you will never lose sight of your most treasured memories, talents, loves and lovers. Identity and personality exist forever, not in the same form of course, but always changing, growing and evolving. For the animal lovers among you, this also applies to animals, including your favorite pets and it is possible for you to reunite with your favorite pets in future lives. In your physical system and other physical systems, this continuity of identity is perpetuated through the processes of reincarnation and probabilities, but reincarnation is only needed in the physical systems since a non-physical body does not die. (Reincarnation is not utilized in the dream universe.) Reincarnation is NOT a basic universal principle since it only applies to physical systems, continuity of identity IS. Like it or not, you are an eternal personality.

Many of our articles will allude to these principles and hopefully you will have a somewhat better understanding as we continue.
