The Layers of Perception: Part 1

Changing Your Expectation

Lecture based Questions:

1. Draw or describe a reminder or symbol of one of your helpers.

You know what to do, so take a moment.

2. Can helpers assist us with clairvoyant information? How does that process work?

They are trying to do this for you constantly. The big question is, when are you going to start paying attention and use the support that you already have? There is no question without an answer. It might not be the answer that you desire, it might not be the solution to your problem, but the response is always with the inquiry. Sometimes the reply is to question your motives. At any rate, you must be willing to accept the legitimacy of the interchange with your helpers, or there is not much point in seeking the data.

Anyone can be a helper if you allow it, but clairvoyants usually rely on the information given to them by a cadre of loved ones, teachers, and angels, all of whom connect through the Mental and Astral Bodies. The reliability of these communications depends on the integrity of the clairvoyant. If you do not serve truth, if you do not make a mental discipline to express truth whenever the opportunity arises, then your ability to perceive truth is hampered—your expectations and baggage will taint the disclosure. If you have taken vows to serve the Spirit of Truth and then try to dissemble, the Servants of Truth will expose you and keep you clean. And they’ll have fun doing it.

The procedure is simple and obvious. You get quiet, sincerely ask your question, get the answer, and say thank you. Your Guardian Angel and a Master would put the idea whole into your head as a picture or vision or incline your energies to the correct compass direction. A 3DI to a 4DI would send you answers that are lightening quick. Sometimes they are so instantaneous that you can hardly tell that they are not whole thoughtforms. Other helpers send you messages in word-like sentences. Your physical brain translates the experience as someone speaking in your inferior ear (if you are right-handed, your left ear; if you are left-handed, your right ear).

3. How come I can’t see Astral stuff with my physical eyes?

Because your physical eyes are limited to the third dimension, and Astral occurrences are fourth dimensional. You can’t pour a gallon of liquid into a quart container. It won’t fit. Duuuuh. If you think you are not clairvoyant because you do not see Astral activity the same way you see this piece of paper, then you are sucking on the wrong sugar cube. Joke for all you survivors of the 60’s. You are receiving Astral information all the time, but your society has brainwashed you into thinking that it is something else. One acquaintance of mine told me that he had been seeing “holographic images.” This was his term for Astral experiences because his parents had reared him in a strictly orthodox religion and his only references to these events were through science fiction shows on TV. This is extreme, as most of you are well versed in terms that apply to esoteric information.

The trick to your success in this matter is to know what to expect and then not be confused or disappointed in what you get. Sometimes, when the difference between the third and fourth dimensions is very small, you can see things moving at the corner of your eye, or frozen images in silhouette in front of you, or you smell something different from what is in the room, or you hear something (short and attention-getting) that is not part of your physical environment. The rest of the time, there is very little physical-like perceiving going on.

4. What can I usually expect when I perceive Astral stuff?

Fact-wise, there is not a whole lot going on in the Astral World. There is, however, much in the way of emotional activity, music, and dead people trying to contact you. In other words, lotsa touchy-feely stuff.

Emotional substance can be interesting if you are the type of person who enjoys looking in other people’s medicine cabinets. You perceive it as mental images of colors, cords, constructs such as thought forms, and people such as humans and animals. A student at San Diego State put it very well when he said, “I’m watching on the movie screen of my mind.” These images do not always move, but they always have information and you can always perceive deeper layers of detail in the image if you need.

If a dead person or a nature spirit is trying to reach you, often you will see a face or form in the bumps on a textured surface. You might also think that you see someone and its really a bush, a mail box, or a road sign. All these instances are successful efforts to touch your consciousness. The correct protocol during such moments is to send love and say, “God bless you and go with the angels,” and then visualize this person surrounded by a circle of loving angels who help and support him/her. It would be a mistake to try to help such a person on your own. Believe me, you do not want to become attached and the job is best done by professionals.

5. What about Mental World clairvoyance?

What you call your logical self is the Mental Body. You can see that you are integrated with this body most of the time. In fact, you are so integrated that you usually identify with this body as being the definitive you. Actually, it is a mere aspect of yourself, but a very important one if you are to succeed in the game of life. It expands or shrinks depending on mental stimulation, and it becomes more solid when the ability to focus is developed.

The Mental World is where all the facts and figures reside. So if you want to know something about anything, this is the level on which you receive it. Fifth dimensional info can come to you in a variety of ways.

If a teacher puts a thought form into your aura, you might very well think that you came up with a light-bulb moment all by yourself. Of course there is no such thing, We are always in a cooperative process with many helpers and co-workers. No idea ever comes to you without a team behind it.

The experiences that we call visions connect to your physical brain through the Mental Body. A strong sensory override imposes itself on the consciousness. Vivid images (moving or not) are accompanied by sound and physical body involvement. The entire nervous system responds to the vision as though it were a physical occurrence.

Helpers usually work with us at the Mental Body level. The physical brain does its best to translate a fifth dimensional experience into third dimensional terms. So we receive messages as words, as pictures, and as physical urges. Depending on a person’s ability to focus and sort out stimuli, these receptions can be faint or strong.

6. When am I not being clairvoyantly receptive?

You are always receiving, but you are not always getting it. The number one interference for perception is the use of will force. We are not always aware of when we are in this mode, but there is a good bellwether if we choose to use it. The intention is the thing, and the physical world is the snag. If your intention is to empathetically connect with a person or an object, then you are pretty much going to be successful. However, if you are imposing your opinions about empirical fact-gathering on the situation, then you are missing a vital aspect of the truth. We can easily let ourselves get sucked into the physical illusion that the appearance of things is the limit to reality. This is the challenge of the game.

Remember that there is always a quantum jump to the correct answer available. You don’t necessarily have to slog through the theorem on your own. Also, you don’t have to dissect something to see its interior. You don’t have to push against something to know its texture. Your Mental Body can do this. If you want to know how someone is feeling, you don’t have to ask and believe the polite answer. You can phase Astral Bodies (meaning, assume an empathetic vibration) and know immediately what the emotional climate is.

Another point to be made is that some people use other clairvoyants as crutches for information or as excuses to not develop their own sensitivity. It helps to remember that a crutch is good for making you steady but it won’t walk for you.

Here is the biggest point of all in regard to obstructed clairvoyance. Most of the time, when we are with other people, we don’t really care what is going on with them. We are too embroiled in our own stew of injuries, neuroses, worries, challenges, issues, and injustices to look past our own noses. We might lie to ourselves about this. We may try to act and sound like we care, but our vibes will expose the closed mode of our inner and outer senses. This attitude is not conducive to clairvoyant perception.

Here is the greatest answer of all. The connectedness of all things runs more deeply and at a more integrated level than you can imagine. Want to find out the answer to your obstruction? Pray for other people who share the same affliction and the energy of blessing returns to your life in multiple portions. In other words, we are part of the same organism. A blessing for one is a blessing for all. Your enjoyment of some pleasure will send thrills of happiness throughout the entire network. There is no such thing as us and them. There is only the universe and its awesome variety of contiguous life. Each of us lifts up the others and each of us drags down the others. We are responsible for the quality of life flowing eternally in all directions.

The illusion is part of the challenge of our spiritual journey. When experiencing trouble, it is a natural response to only think of self and mine. This is the way we are designed as a learning and strengthening system. When we find out that the key to success in the universe works in the exact opposite direction of instinct, we have the beginning of all wisdom.

7. What is a good way for me to adopt a successful attitude for clairvoyant perception?

The correct approach is five-fold.

1)Meditation strengthens the focus of your mind in a positive direction. Regular meditation retunes the consciousness and the physical body to a receptive mode.

2)Recognizing the Presence of God in everything makes the world and all in it sacred and worthy of respect and reverence. It raises consciousness away from negative tendencies and the influence of Lower Astral Entities.

3)Understanding that you are always part of a blessed team keeps you humble and receptive.

4)Affirming for your clear understanding in all matters integrates your belief system with clairvoyant sensing.

5)Setting yourself aside when you look into the truth of things creates empathetic connections that transform all parties and reveal truth.

8. So, what you are saying is that clairvoyance applies to mundane life, spiritual life, and anything else that we want to understand?

Yes, and there is no end to the information and wisdom available to us. We use clairvoyance in daily choices such as making out a work schedule, reading efficiently, communicating with friends, staying healthy, working productively, and doing creative things. We are in constant dialog with helpers who advise us successfully along these lines. We see people as whole and integrated multi-dimensional beings, and we perceive the layers of a person’s activity as a single working unit. We perceive the intelligence of all things even to the atomic and subatomic level. We understand that our comprehension is limited by our preconceived notions.

Clairvoyance is not some arcane power. You do not have it to lord over others when your clairvoyance is well developed. In fact, the desire for esoteric power is counterproductive to accurate perception, as it is the exertion of will force. You could say that clairvoyant perception is the relaxation into understanding of any given situation or person with which we become involved.

The journey is the reason for our being. The destination is actually an illusion. We never arrive and we never stop learning, developing, growing, dancing, and singing. World without end. Blessings without count. Wisdom without barriers. Peace without cost. These are of what reality truly is made.
