      "body": "![35178274481_0cc318ba41_b.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYSSRgwPuJyo6xWLJrdNobGnr1orn1zX3kqC8daiWebvz/35178274481_0cc318ba41_b.jpg)\n\nThe debate over whether “free will” exists or not has been going on forever, from the philosophical angle, the biological/scientific/neurological angle, the sociological angle… Beyond the debate of whether the belief in free will is important for our sanity (which does not look at whether free will is “true” or not, just whether we should believe in it), I will try to discuss the topic of free will from a metaphysical perspective. In this article, we start with the premise that God exists. It’s just not your “typical” bearded man in the sky kind of God.\n\nFirst, let’s explore a metaphysical premise on which this article rests: all is God, and all is Perfect. There can be nothing outside of God. God is past, present and future. God is all that was, is and will be. You can view God as simply a consciousness which is so powerful that it is conscious of being everything at the same time. Right now, as you are reading these lines, you are conscious of being yourself in this present moment. But shift your attention just a bit and you can also be conscious of being whatever you were experiencing yesterday. Well, God would be a consciousness which can be aware of being everything at the same time. In that sense, there is indeed no “right” or “wrong”. There is just “beingness”. It’s as if reality was just an infinite set of still paintings which you can experience sequentially (as we do) if you want to, but these paintings are eternal. When you look at a painting representing war or violence, you don’t stop to think about whom you should punish, who is evil and who is righteous, you admire the painting, the minute details, the perfect stroke depicting an agonizing character or the accurate capture of hatred and anger in the eyes of a murderer.\n\nNow, from the perspective of God, does it really matter which sequence of paintings are being experienced by a sub-set of it’s infinite consciousness? In other words, does it matter to God, the eternal, infinite being, what a part of him/her/itself has chosen to experience sequentially?\n\nHardly. And at the same time, later in the article, you will see that there is one fundamental rule that still governs what parts of God are being experienced…\n\nHowever, the interesting part is that since nothing can be outside of God, our emotions, our feelings, our “opinions” about right and wrong are also part of God! This means that while the eternal part of God is just happy in it’s state of perfect infinite awareness of all that is, the relative part of God, which fools around experiencing infinity sequentially and with an illusion of separateness, does care about pain, violence, injustice, murder, rape, death etc.\n\nAnd thus, whenever you really dive deep into metaphysics, you must recognize that our binary or dual logic is ill equipped to really capture the complexity of God/infinity. A tetravalent logic, on the other hand, does the trick. In a tetravalent logic, you have to add to the binary right and wrong two more options: both right and wrong, and neither right nor wrong. In this instance, God cares and doesn’t care. An there is no contradiction there. It is simply a matter of perspective, just like if you could shift points of view in the movie theater as you watch an action movie: switching back and forth from being a spectator and enjoying the show, or a protagonist in the movie about to get shot by the villain. And of course, you’ve all felt it: a sense of empathy for the victim, cheering for the hero, from your movie theater seats even though you know that it’s all fake. That experience gives you a taste of what it feels like to be God. During the movie, you don’t feel like finding the actor who played the villain and killing him, you don’t feel like calling up the movie director and change the script because you don’t agree with a death or two (unless it’s Game of Thrones… Even God makes exceptions). I think you get the picture. During the movie, you feel simultaneously empathy for the actors even though you know it’s fake, and yet you don’t act on that empathy, you just sit there and watch, you admire the “show” from a distance. It’s a tiny hint at what it feels like to be God.\n\nWhat does all this have to do with free will you might ask? Well, if all exists already, past, present and future, and if we are all parts of God experiencing what it feels like to be him/her/itself, does it even make sense to talk about “free will”? In many esoteric readings, you find concepts such as destiny, (re)incarnation, the afterlife and many other ideas which point to a “level” of free will which is above you. That is, imagine if God was diving deeper and deeper into a form of “dream” state to be able to experience him/her/itself to the point of forgetting completely who he/she/it is originally. You might find that our whole world is but a “dream” of a higher “version” of God, which is slightly more “aware” of being God then we are. Basically, it’s the idea that we are a tiny splinter of a soul (pure energy which is part of God), kind of like a leaf at the end of a branch on a huge tree, and that leaf is being “controlled” by the branch it is growing on. Of course, whatever happens to the branch directly affects the leaf, but whatever happens to the leaf only slightly affects the branch. It’s this idea that a “higher version” of ourselves has made decisions for us in advance that we will experience no matter what. And of course, that “higher version” controls several “lower” versions of itself, just like a branch can have multiple leaves growing on it.\n\nThis metaphor is actually quite accurate. However, I believe it doesn’t call into question the existence of “free will” at our level, on our “plane” of existence. While it is true that a leaf depends on it’s branch, it can still flutter freely in the wind in an infinite number of directions. The kind of “limitations” or choices that our “higher selves” make for us are very generic and far from restrictive. From what I have read and experienced, the kind of decisions made are of the type:\n\n- You will experience treason\n- You will experience friendship\n- You will experience love\n- You will experience shame…\n\nAnd of course, there are an infinite number of ways that you can experience any of the “choices” above.\n\nLet me give you a “hint” as to how our “higher selves” may operate in creating our experience. Has it ever crossed your mind to imagine a “scene” or a situation you are in while you’re day dreaming? Imagine if that thought actually materialized in some parallel Universe and played out exactly as you have imagined, except for all the rest of the story leading to that moment which could be anything and everything. It is very similar to this idea of “destiny”. Our “higher selves” imagine something for us, and we will get to experience it no matter what, but there can be a near infinite number of stories leading to that experience. Also, as I have pointed to above, the “restrictions” are only dealing with very broad feelings or emotions, not specific events. You could experience shame while peeing your pants at 3 years old during a family dinner, or being humiliated publicly on national television. This is where our choice, our free will comes into play. As long as the feeling rings “true” (or vibrates at the right frequency, to use the esoteric language), you’re off the hook! And the reason why it works this way is because our “higher selves” are operating outside of linear time, which means that for them, whether we experience something at age 3, 30 or 90, is the same.\n\nA further question is: why would our “higher selves” set ourselves up for these experiences in the first place? The answer to this question is delicate and requires to re-explore the very nature of God. What do you think is the only rule that God applies to the Universe? The only rule is that the Universe/God cannot be anything less that what it already is. This means that if in infinity, if in all that can possibly exist, there are humans, then the Universe will necessarily, inescapably, unavoidably lead to the emergence of humans. God can be found especially at “key” moments in the Universe. Moments which I call transcendental. These are: the emergence of the first photon, the emergence of the first atom, the emergence of the first star, the emergence of the first living cell, the emergence of the first human being… These are moments where various elements combined to form something greater than the sum of their parts, reaching a further level of complexity, in a seemingly “magical” way, almost as if it was pre-destined or pre-determined. Well, indeed, it was. You will have to read my other articles, especially the one about time, to understand how this works.\n\nIn any case, God has one rule. And this rule is then implemented in various ways. In order to “steer” the story of the Universe in a direction which unavoidably manifests all that God is, there are many strategies. Imagine if our “higher selves”, being outside of time, had not only the knowledge of God’s ultimate rule, but also understood how to juggle with a mindbogglingly complex “algorithm” or puzzles to make sure that across several hundred “incarnations” in linear time, they would lead an “over soul” made up of a number of humans generation after generation, to manifest the next point of transcendence. It is akin to a “star”, somewhere in the future, which gave little prods and bumps to hydrogen atoms in the “past”, bouncing around to make sure that after a certain amount of time, it would all “click”, fall into place, and “manifest” that very star in the future in linear time. So our “higher selves”, basically, are just very “high level” story tellers which give us humans, who are one “incarnation” of these higher selves, light “prods” or nudges to steer our “overall” life in a direction which, collectively, as humanity, will lead to the creation of something bigger than us. As if each human was one cell in a much larger organism. For instance, peeing your pants at age 3 in front of your family reined in a potential for the development of an arrogant and pretentious character and managed to avoid you growing up to harm other people which would create a chain reaction of events which would be very hard to make up for by our “higher level” selves.\n\nI will give you this other metaphor: imagine if our “higher self” was like a new born baby, and that baby’s body is composed of cells which are individual humans. Now, this baby exists as an idea, a concept somewhere in the future. It is like the idea or concept of a star which had to manifest no matter what because without a star you wouldn’t have planets, without planets you wouldn’t have life, without life you wouldn’t have humans etc… Are you starting to get the picture? God is everything and if we as humans “fail” to become something greater than the sum of our parts, we are “violating” the very first rule of God, which is, that he/she/it cannot be anything less than what he/she/it already is. So that new born baby basically sends “signals” into the “past” (in linear time) to make sure that he steers the past towards “merging” with its existence, in linear time (in the third dimension).\n\nNow I hope you get the picture of where our free will sits. We do have free will, and yet, some things are pre-destined and certain.\n\nA further proof that we have free will is the fact that we experience hesitation. If there is no free will, then there could not be hesitation. The mere fact of experiencing hesitation is proof that things are not working like clockwork. If your brain would take decisions like a computer or a neural network, then even if a decision is 50.000000001% more “likely” to be the “right” thing to do, based on the interactions between all your neurons and connections in your brain, then there still wouldn’t be hesitation. You would just DO it or be conscious of taking that decision. For a computer, there is no difference in taking an action with 100% certainty, or 50.000001% certainty. In the end, it translates this information to a 1 or 0, a “yes” or “no”, a “do” or “not do”, a binary option. So basically, God is so powerful that he/she/it can lead the story of the Universe to manifest all that he/she/it is, even with free will! And God only needs to intervene via small “nudges” to make it work!\n\nA very good example of this is the following. Imagine an “open world” video game, kind of like Minecraft, but where you also have “official” quests and levels. You can dick around in “level 1”, create castles, fight monsters, kill other players… that doesn’t mean that level 2 doesn’t exist. It exists, and it’s waiting for you. And imagine also, that your “soul” was a certain amount of energy which you had at your disposal to play the game, and the one fundamental rule that you cannot break, is that you have to get to level 2 by the time you spend the energy that you have been given. Imagine if that energy allows you to “incarnate” the lives of 1000 individuals (so in total, 80.000 years if each individual lives up to 80 years old). The “game” is configured in such a way that if you’re reaching your “limit”, and your energy is running out, you’re going to get very strong nudges to get to level 2. And this is what we are experiencing now, as humanity, with all these esoteric messages, what some refer to the “ascension process”, or going into “higher dimensions”. It does feel like we are reaching the “limits” of our civilization, that we are facing a major “collapse”. But these are just signs that we need to get a move on and finish the “level” we are currently at. This process is flawless. You can think about it by picturing an electric ark or lightning. It has a certain energy, and that energy courses between two points: the point where it initiated, and the point of arrival. The objective is that one of the branches of the lightning manages to reach it’s destination. A lightning bolt can spread it’s energy thin and barely make it to it’s destination (the idea of incarnating 1000 times to reach level 2) or it can go in a more or less straight line wasting very little energy coursing through the air (through linear time and multiple incarnations). The same applies to us. We can go the “easy” way (humans wake up to what they truly are and start behaving as such, now) or the “hard” way (humans continue to kill each other and take another millennium and a few “Mad Max” moments before awakening to who they truly are).\n\nI would like you, also, to consider why we have free will at all. The reason free will exists, is that the Universe, or God, is so “smart”, that it can work with free will and nevertheless reach a certain result. Our body functions in a similar way. When you cut yourself, and the wound needs to be disinfected by the body, it is not as if each and every single white blood cell has a pre-determined, pre-destined “role” to play. Rather, the body has a form of collective intelligence whereby it knows how many white blood cells it needs to produce to ensure that the job of disinfection gets done within a margin of 99%. So it produces a certain number of white blood cells in excess to reach that level of certainty, maintaining a perfect balance between 100% randomness (white blood cells doing whatever they want in a totally uncoordinated manner) and 100% determinism. A balance between order and chaos. And should those white blood cells fail to do their job, then there is a fall back plan to fend off the infection by other means again, with the same 99% certainty (or the likes). This is why you are still alive, and why you didn’t die at the very first scratch that you had being a toddler or baby.\n\nThe same principle applies to us humans. God, the Universe, has it all covered. If you don’t do something, someone else will do it. That doesn’t mean you are not important, it simply means that you cannot “mess up” God’s ultimate plans or God’s ultimate rule for the Universe… For some, this may be daunting, but I find it reassuring. It allows me to claim my ultimate freedom to do what I truly want to do. We should all take example on our body. It is the perfect metaphor for how society should function. Each cell knowing what it’s “purpose” is, and fulfilling it with joy. A skin cell doing the job of a skin cell, and getting all the necessary support to do that job. At our level, it simply means to practice introspection and find out what is truly our heart’s desire. What we “feel” is our calling on this Earth. Do we want to be a dancer, a doctor, a scientist, a spiritual teacher, a basketball player, a nurse,… What is the thing that we can share with humanity which would bring us joy while we do it? It has not always been easy to reason in this way, notably because of the way our financial system works, but all of it is about to change.\n\nI would like to conclude with an idea which has emerged time and again in esoteric circles, by so called “no bullshit” spiritual teachers: the fact that we do not need to incarnate, that we are “perfect” as our eternal selves, and that there is nothing that is required or asked of us. This is true in a sense. We can indeed bail out on this “level” of reality and never return to the third dimension if we don’t want to, however, I would issue a stark warning to those who “buy in” to this stuff. You will indeed “return” to bathe for all eternity in God’s infinite love, but you will never leave the nest and be your own “version” of God.\n\nThe “ultimate” reason why we incarnate and bother to live through all of these experiences is in order to accept God in it’s entirety in order to become a “seed” which can recreate God in another part of the infinite void.\n\nWhat… you thought that there was nothing beyond God? Of course there is. Infinity and eternity mean what they mean! It means that there is an infinite void of pure potential, which is just waiting for it’s own “seed”, it’s own God to transform all that pure potential into “somethingness” which will lead to manifest itself again. This is the way God reproduces and also what is beyond God. If you cannot accept all that IS as God and you reject part of it, then it would be like a spermatozoa reaching an ovum and saying “Hi, you’re pretty, but I don’t really like that gene, and can you get also rid of this one…” No. Perfection is perfection. God is perfect balance, perfect symmetry, perfect equilibrium between all that is. Reject just a small part of it, and it is out of balance, and it will not be able to manifest all that it IS again. What is beyond God is a sort of “neural network” of all Gods which forms another being altogether, and this process repeats into infinity. At our level, we don’t need to worry about it. I just wanted to point out that if you want to become that which you truly are (God), and at that point, stop being a “part” of God (like a spermatozoa spending all eternity in God’s testies) and you wanted to become the whole thing (just like a spermatozoa and ovum can manifest an entire human being on the basis of an existing one), then you have to go through this process of incarnation. You have to go through childhood and adolescence in order to become a responsible parent. You have to go through incarnations and linear time in order to become a responsible God. And again, no judgement, if you want to spend all of eternity in God’s testicles, that’s perfectly allowed and perfectly fine! :-)",

      "title": "My Spiritual Journey - 21 - Creationism vs. Evolution",
      "body": "Once you enter into the esoteric, spiritual and religious realms, it almost seems as if you have to throw away all previous scientific “beliefs”. From the religious perspective, the “creation” story in 6 days is most certainly incompatible with the Big Bang theory. From the esoteric perspective, the “seeding” of Planet Earth by aliens is incompatible with the theory of gradual, natural biological evolution.\n\nAnd yet, what if I told you that all of it can be true without there being any form of contradiction?\n\nThis article will heavily rely on the one about the mysteries of “time”, so I invite you to read it now or afterwards.\nhttps://steemit.com/time/@marma/my-spiritual-journey-17-time-does-not-exit \n\nTo cut the story short, the reason why all of these “narratives” about how the Universe was created are true, is due to the way that the Universe and “time” function. The basic metaphor to explain this is the following: take the entire spectrum of visible light, ranging from the lower red vibrations to the very high vibration ultra violet. You do agree that between these two extreme points, there are an infinite number of possible shades of color or frequencies, just like you could subdivide 1 into an infinite sub-parts. Now, imagine that God is pure white light: all of the colors combined, which is equivalent to all of the possible “stories” or moments in time, everything that ever existed and will ever exist. How does God start experimenting with all of the various colors that are contained within him/her? In the idea above, God would start precisely in the middle, if there is such a thing. He/she would start with whatever color is situated between ultra-violet and red. Alternatively, you could say, if nothing (the void) is represented by the color black, and everything (God) is represented by the color white, then you would start with some shade of grey.\n\nThis is linked to most of the “basic” religious creation narratives, where the Universe was created in a couple of “steps” instantly. Indeed, in the “beginning”, if there was only God and nothing, then whatever is in the “middle” appeared instantly out of nowhere. But then, God starts subdividing into more “colors” or steps, there are additional shades of grey or colors that are added to the “story” or narrative leading from nothing to God. And the more steps you add, the more the narrative changes.\n\nThink about this: take a movie like Lord of the Rings and try to tell a story on the basis of only the very first frame, the middle frame and the very last frame. If you were trying to tell the story from the perspective of an “observer” or incarnated being in the middle frame at that point in “time”, how would you explain that you “exist”? And how would you make sense of your world? And of course, in that situation, there is no other way to explain this then by saying that “God created everything instantly”, which would be quite accurate.\n\nNow you see, from this illustration, that time not only moves “horizontally” in a linear fashion, but also “vertically” in a logical fashion. By adding more and more colors, more and more steps, more and more “frames” to the story, suddenly, you can explain the existence of the Universe from multiple perspectives.\n\nIf you have only 6 colors, and you jump from one to the other without any form of transition, you can only explain it with God and the creation narrative. If you have, say 10000 colors, you can explain it with the narrative of various “spirits” creating the Earth, and aliens seeding the Earth with life, if you have 7489433890894089403 colors, you can explain it using mainstream science and the theory of evolution.\n\nLook at the picture below which illustrates this pretty well. As time goes by in a linear fashion from our perspective, we also “shift” between various logical layers. 5000 years ago, when the ancient testament was written, we were on a timeline where indeed God created the Earth in 6 days. But as “time” moved forward horizontally, it also moved “vertically” by adding new “shades” of color or new “frames” to the story, which made it possible to tell a longer, less instantaneous story or narrative for the existence of the Universe and of human beings.\n\n![abc3db65-cfc9-4208-972c-00f799bfae03.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQma9H1ZYdLCVK6Cjr5Yi71scuRvukSHZRDnnYUuQraRFMZ/abc3db65-cfc9-4208-972c-00f799bfae03.png)\n\nHere is why “mainstream” science is still very much important and relevant. From the moment that Charles Darwin came up with the theory of evolution, it suddenly enabled souls to incarnate and experience his theory directly. In other words, our thoughts have a retroactive effect on reality. Any theory about why we are here create a parallel timeline or narrative in which souls incarnate and get to experiment, in flesh, whether those theories work or not. The reason why it’s important to keep as many of these theories alive is that they allow for more experimentation, quite simply! If the Universe was created in 6 days, and we “popped” into existence instantly, well, the souls of whatever creatures were created were pretty void of any prior experience! No prior incarnation, only whatever instructions God imbued into them. However, from the evolution and big bang theory, souls get to experience billions and billions of lifetimes, as a rock, a plant, a bacteria, a plankton, a fish, an amphibian… You get the picture. That is why it is said we were created in God’s image. We are creators, just like God! We “create” not only our present reality, but also, how our present reality managed to come into existence! And God is ecstatic with joy every time we think of another theory, since we “pull” out of the “all that is”, another story in which souls (parts of God) can experiment!\n\nYou might find this crazy, but I believe that the “proof” of evolution that you find in skeletons that we dig out of the ground basically “materialized” there because someone formulated the thought or the “idea” of evolution. This is how any theory emerges: very rarely through random experimentation and passive observation but rather via an initial theory or idea which is tested in real life. In other words, first you think about a theory, then you devise experiments or set up observation protocols to see if it works. And guess what: you get confirmation of your theory only if at that very moment in time, your thoughts, which retroactively created an entire Universe where souls (pure energy) get to experiment those theories manage to narrate a convincing story which merges with your present timeline.\n\nThis is also why you can find proof of several theories about the genesis of Humanity. On the one side you have the skeleton of Lucy, which is thought to be the first “human” or the “mother” of humanity, and on the other you have skeletons of humans with weirdly shaped skulls which are described as being half-breeds between aliens and apes. Both stories exist simultaneously because both can merge with our present reality, starting from “nothing” in a convincing way. To better understand it, think of it this way: you are at a cross-roads between two paths that lead to exactly the same place. You suffer from temporary amnesia and you find yourself at the arrival point. Which path did you take? The one on the left or the one on the right? You could say that you took both since they both lead to where you are now, and manage to explain why you are where you are at that point in “time”.\n\nThe reason why there is such a “fight” and competition over which of these narratives should be thought of as the “truth”, is that this logic works in both ways! It not only works retrospectively, but also forward into the future. Any time someone thinks about a potential future, be it a nuclear apocalypse, climate change and natural catastrophes or aliens coming to the rescue, all of those timelines pop into existence, and souls incarnate to experiment those timelines. And obviously, there is a battle to determine the path that Humanity, as a whole, will take from this point on into the future. You could say that we are simply fighting over how many steps/shades of grey do we want to take to get back to God/the All! Some are hoping for an instantaneous “rapture”, where we are saved by Jesus coming down from the sky, which would be the equivalent of skipping all the colors/steps altogether and calling it “quits” on this reality, others advocate for a slow gradual shift in consciousness where humans will start behaving more lovingly to one another. If you want to know more about what awaits us, I suggest you dig deeper into my other articles where I try to explore the situation we are in now.\n\nThe reason why so many esoteric teachers talk about a “battle” between light and darkness in these moments, is that we have gone so far in creating new “shades of grey” that we can’t tell any more whether we are moving towards a “lighter” shade or a “darker” shade (whether we are moving towards God or the “all”, in other words, a positive future for humanity, or towards the void or “nothing”, or an “end of the world” scenario). Whenever you listen to people “chanelling” an angel or an alien (Pleadian, Arcturian, etc), ask yourself the following question: from which “logic layer” are they speaking from? Coming back to the picture above, you can think of your “higher self” as simply being your own soul on a different “logic layer”, like an angel which wondered what it was like to be human and at the moment the thought was initiated, it created a “new” logic layer in which that angel incarnated into several human bodies, while still remaining an angel. Right now, there are many “potential” futures which are lobbying our human conciousnesses to give them credence, our attention, and our energy, which increases the likelihood that that is the timeline we will get to experience, just like voting for a politician in an election…\n\nWe are indeed at a critical juncture, a crossroads which branches off into an infinite number of “potential futures” for humanity, and trying to find the one that will be experienced by us all is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack. However, as I explain in this “light story”, we are at a similar point in time when the first star emerged out of a soup of hydrogen atoms, or when the first living cell emerged out of a soup of proteins and amino acids. At certain “key” moments in history, you have quantum leaps or shifts in what I call the “logic layers” of the Universe. Humanity, or each human being, is about to become part of something greater than the sum of it’s parts, just like the trillion of cells that compose us do not accurately reflect, on an individual basis, the complexity of what a human being is.",

I%E2%80%99m still trying to really %E2%80%9Cunderstand%E2%80%9D this, but this is the conclusion I have came to. The %E2%80%9Cthird dimension%E2%80%9D won%E2%80%99t really disappear so much as it%E2%80%99s %E2%80%9Ctime%E2%80%9D will be frozen. It will become like a %E2%80%9CDNA%E2%80%9D, a %E2%80%9Cmodel%E2%80%9D, a %E2%80%9Ctemplate%E2%80%9D, copied into infinity on top of which you can build variations to tell a completely new and original story. Just like humans, animals, plants, planets, stars, galaxies%E2%80%A6 are but variations from a single template. Here is a question to ponder in your mind : when two hydrogen atoms come together with one oxygen atom to form a molecule of water, do the atoms still %E2%80%9Cexist%E2%80%9D or does only the molecule exist? When various molecules come together to form a living cell do the molecules still exist or does only the living cell exist? The Universe doesn%E2%80%99t like to waste energy, so why bother %E2%80%9Cretaining%E2%80%9D all the various constitutive elements if they are %E2%80%9Cincluded%E2%80%9D inside one another, like Russian dolls? You may as well just keep the %E2%80%9Cbiggest%E2%80%9D Russian doll and %E2%80%9Crecreate%E2%80%9D the other layers as necessary. What this might hint to is that reality as we see it is but an %E2%80%9Cinterface%E2%80%9D projected from our minds outward. Every human being is %E2%80%9Cmade%E2%80%9D of all of the constitutive elements of the Universe. Our reality could just be a projection outward of a %E2%80%9Ctemplate%E2%80%9D which we are playing with. It%E2%80%99s a bit as if the %E2%80%9Claws%E2%80%9D of physics, chemistry, biology%E2%80%A6 were set, they were a %E2%80%9Cgiven%E2%80%9D, they were at the status of DNA, and we are playing around trying to find our way towards the laws allowing for the harmonious interaction between humans and once we figure those out, we will %E2%80%9Ccease to exist%E2%80%9D in our third dimension, simply because we will have reached the %E2%80%9Cnext layer%E2%80%9D of Russian dolls nested inside one another, and will become a constitutive element of this %E2%80%9Cnew being%E2%80%9D. This might seem depressing or frightening, but I believe this is what we call %E2%80%9Cparadise%E2%80%9D or %E2%80%9Cheaven%E2%80%9D. Try to put yourself in the %E2%80%9Cshoes%E2%80%9D of an atom or a molecule inside our body. Don%E2%80%99t you think that the %E2%80%9Cexperience%E2%80%9D they get to live is infinitely more interesting than billions and billions of years ago when the Universe was still a chaotic soup of atoms hitting and bumping into each other? At present, our human experience, our %E2%80%9Cfree will%E2%80%9D, our third dimension, is extremely restrictive in terms of what we can experience. Basically, our experience is just a little bit more interesting than that of the game of musical chairs: fighting for limited resources, for the last seat on a train, for the best house, for the best car, you name it. It%E2%80%99s the same as two atoms fighting over who will get to occupy a trajectory in the void of space. Wow. So interesting%E2%80%A6 But think of what happens once atoms %E2%80%9Csettle%E2%80%9D on the laws of chemistry and the first star is born, turning hydrogen into helium via nuclear fusion. Suddenly, a whole new range of experiences open up! What a wonderful adventure! Now, atoms get to %E2%80%9Cexperience%E2%80%9D what it is to be water, air, rock, metal,%E2%80%A6 And the same applies to us! Just look at the cells of your body. Think of what would happen to them if you were not alive. Not a very interesting story. They would quickly decompose into separate cells doing their own %E2%80%9Cthing%E2%80%9D, some would die, others would transform into something else, but it would still be much less %E2%80%9Cinteresting%E2%80%9D of an existence than to be a part of you! Even just a few seconds of you sitting down and drinking coffee is more interesting for your body cells, as an %E2%80%9Cexperience%E2%80%9D, than everything that will every happen to them after you die. They also enjoy %E2%80%9Cparadise%E2%80%9D while they are in your body. They don%E2%80%99t have to do any %E2%80%9Ceffort%E2%80%9D to find food, you have to do that! And on top of that, they %E2%80%9Ctell%E2%80%9D you via %E2%80%9Cpain%E2%80%9D and other signals, if they %E2%80%9Cliked%E2%80%9D the food you ate or not! They signal you all the time to do this or that, exercise more, go to bed you%E2%80%99re tired%E2%80%A6 We may think of ourselves as %E2%80%9CGods%E2%80%9D to our cells and our body, and maybe we are, but a God which is still pretty much dependent on it%E2%80%99s %E2%80%9Csubjects%E2%80%9D%E2%80%A6 Another %E2%80%9Chint%E2%80%9D at what this %E2%80%9Cbirth%E2%80%9D of the %E2%80%9CHumanity%E2%80%9D baby could look like, examining the various %E2%80%9Clayers of logic%E2%80%9D, from physics to chemistry to biology, you will notice that no layer of logic fundamentally violates or infringes the layer below! Physics still applies to chemistry, and chemistry still applies to biology, yet the possibilities grow exponentially! You can do infinitely more things with chemistry than with physics! And you can do infinitely more things with biology than chemistry! And it all seems to %E2%80%9Ccheck out%E2%80%9D. Think of us, human beings. On many accounts we violate the laws of biology! Nothing in biology explains how %E2%80%9Cmutant chimpanzees%E2%80%9D can build cities of millions and millions of individuals and manage not to kill each other all the time. Try putting 2000 chimpanzees in a theater hall and have them sit quietly and listen to a classical music concert, and see what happens. Chances are, it%E2%80%99s going to be chaos in less than 3 minutes, over who gets to have sex with who, who is the %E2%80%9Cdominant male%E2%80%9D, who is your clan member and who is not. Absolutely nothing in the laws of biology explain the first thing about our civilization, our ability to think, to reason, to be self-aware, to manage abstract thinking, and more%E2%80%A6 Yet, we are still %E2%80%9Csubject%E2%80%9D to the laws of biology, chemistry, physics%E2%80%A6 But much less so than a chimpanzee or a baboon! The reason why this transition may appear to be %E2%80%9Cmagical%E2%80%9D from this point on, is that we are at a similar %E2%80%9Cstage%E2%80%9D as when the first star was born out of a chaotic soup of atoms, or when the first living cell was born out of a soup of amino acids and other molecules. At some point, things just %E2%80%9Cclick%E2%80%9D, like pieces of a puzzle which suddenly %E2%80%9Cfit%E2%80%9D and create a %E2%80%9Cwhole%E2%80%9D which is much greater than the sum of it%E2%80%99s parts. We are the last piece of the puzzle, not more important, not less important, but the last piece nonetheless to fall into place. And once that happens, expect something %E2%80%9Cmagical%E2%80%9D to happen. What happens the second %E2%80%9Cbefore%E2%80%9D the first living cell appears and %E2%80%9Cafter%E2%80%9D the first living cell appears is nothing short of a miracle and is absolutely incomparable. So buckle up!%0A%0A\n *As abov\n",

The %E2%80%9Ccells%E2%80%9D in the placenta and umbilical cord are destined to %E2%80%9Cdie%E2%80%9D, while the cells in the baby will live.

The %E2%80%9Csorting%E2%80%9D process is not over yet, however. This is the meaning behind the %E2%80%9Ccall%E2%80%9D for a grand awakening. My guess is that the %E2%80%9Chuman cells%E2%80%9D left behind in the %E2%80%9Cold Earth%E2%80%9D or placenta/umbilical cord are the ones that fail to awaken to their true nature/purpose: that of being part of a global organism, and acting as such. The seemingly %E2%80%9Cnaive%E2%80%9D teachings of %E2%80%9Clove thy neighbor%E2%80%9D from Jesus and other prophets makes perfect sense in the context of a global organism. Each and every one of your cells behaves at all times like a Christ or a Buddha, otherwise you wouldn%E2%80%99t stay alive for very long. Each cell plays it%E2%80%99s role perfectly, and takes in the exact amount of energy to perform that role. No cell starts attacking it%E2%80%99s neighbor, and no cell judges another cell for the job it is or isn%E2%80%99t doing, trusting that whatever they do is part of a greater plan. How long do you think you would stay alive if your heart went to war with your liver? Or if your skin cells decided that they deserved to be %E2%80%9Cpaid%E2%80%9D more money for the job they are doing while taxing the shit out of your blood cells? However, don%E2%80%99t feel bad or judgmental about the %E2%80%9Chuman cells%E2%80%9D that decided to stay in the %E2%80%9Cold Earth%E2%80%9D. After all, they are but eternal souls which somehow needed to experience an %E2%80%9Cend of the World%E2%80%9D scenario in order to learn/grow. (More on the idea of %E2%80%9Ceternal souls%E2%80%9D in my other articles)%0A%0ADon%E2%80%99t worry, each and every %E2%80%9Chuman cell%E2%80%9D inside baby %E2%80%9CHumanity%E2%80%9D will find his/her role to play, his/her meaning for existing. This is why so many spiritual and esoteric teachings insist on meditation, introspection and %E2%80%9Clooking within%E2%80%9D for answers, because ultimately, what will make you %E2%80%9Chappy%E2%80%9D, is to be who you were meant to be: a blood cell, a skin cell, a neuron, a heart cell%E2%80%A6 receiving 100%25 energy (money, support, training%E2%80%A6) to do what you were designed and meant to do. And the people who are most awakened, most aware, most advanced in their understanding of this whole process, I believe they will make up the %E2%80%9CCouncil of Beings%E2%80%9D that are a part of this %E2%80%9CHumanity%E2%80%9D baby%E2%80%99s consciousness (very similar to what it looks like in the movie %E2%80%9CInside Out%E2%80%9D).

Father Sun provided the semen which was called “Adam” and Mother Earth the egg which was called “Eve”. These two original “cells” then multiplied and multiplied, and multiplied, into a wide diversity of cells called “humans” which completely forgot who they are, as the embryo of “Humanity” developed, what they were or even that they were a part of a Whole global organism which encompasses all of Humanity.\n\nAs time went by, the embryo developed further and further, growing all the necessary vital organs needed to survive:\n\n- The Internet was akin to the central nervous system, transmitting information throughout the entire body. Unfortunately, it was still quite imperfect, drowning under a heap of highly inaccurate information and signals which allowed for poor collective decisions and actions.\n\n- The global financial system was akin to the circulatory system (arteries, veins, blood and heart), distributing “energy” (money) to each and every cell, making sure it had enough to carry out the job it was supposed to do. Unfortunately, the circulatory system was defective and starved many cells out of oxygen/money while it disproportionately drowned in oxygen other cells.\n\n- The industrial and agricultural system was akin to the digestive and respiratory systems, transforming raw materials into goods/services that were needed by the various cells to carry out their job. Unfortunately, it was quite inefficient, wasting a lot of raw materials to mass produce useless gadgets, and introducing all kinds of pollution and chemicals into the foods and other goods it produced.\n\nAll of the infrastructure, roads, bridges, electricity grid, all of the institutions, governments, schooling system, all of it was part of the complex organism called “Humanity” and was supposed to work in an optimal fashion to keep all of it’s “cells” (individual humans) in optimal health in order to carry out the job that each human was born for.\n\nThe embryo developed into a “Humanity” baby riddled with disabilities and diseases. It had an auto-immune disease (some cells within the body attacking other cells, basically, all the wars we keep having) and lung and stomach cancer (from breathing the polluted air and eating the pesticide grown food).\n\nBut Mother Earth and Father Sun loved the child deeply. They already had to abort several other babies as they put Mother Earth in great danger. One of those aborted babies was given the name “Atlantis”, and had to be terminated as the baby nearly killed Mother Earth while still in the womb.\n\nIn this very instant, Mother Earth has been driven to the hospital by Father Sun. The water broke and She started to have contractions! “Humanity” was to be born in the next few years.\n\nOf course, Father Sun and Mother Earth were not alone in this endeavor. They were, themselves, part of a huge Galactic Family of billions of other Stars and Planets, many of which were their dearest friends, like the Pleiadians or the Arcturians. Of course, those Stars/Planets already had their children, while “Humanity” was Mother Earth and Father Sun’s first born, which always makes things more complicated and stressful.\n\nIn the hospital, several doctors gave their opinions about the situation. Some doctors, mostly Pleiadian, were confident that “Humanity” could be delivered the good old “natural” way, encouraging Mother Earth to “push” as the contractions (read “earth quakes”, “natural disasters”) grew more and more intense. Others thought that it was time to think of plan B, an emergency caesarian, as it looked like the “Humanity” baby’s head (read “Ego”) was too big and was stuck in Mother Earth’s birth canal. They were planning to rip Mother Earth open, descend with their Spaceships and rescue “Humanity” as best they could. Finally, some marginal doctors (mostly Archons and Draconians) believed that the “Humanity” baby was condemned and were tentatively suggesting to dismember the baby by crushing it’s head, and use some of it’s surviving cells for medical experimentation and research.\n\nSo while Mother Earth was screaming for pain killers, and Father Sun assisting Mother Earth as best he could, providing moral support, everyone else was helping with the actual delivery. Baby “Humanity” had to be born. It already overstayed it’s welcome in Mother Earth’s womb, draining her every resource and starting to poison both of them.\n\nOf course, from it’s perspective, “Humanity” baby was starting to become aware that something huge was happening. While it was mostly busy enjoying the riches that Mother Earth provided via it’s umbilical cord, it was also star gazing, wondering what was this gigantic Universe all around it was about. Through Mother Earth’s belly, it could sense the “voices” of what it labelled “Higher Dimensional Beings”, “God”, “ETs”, “Spiritual Guides” and what not. Of course, given that baby “Humanity” was still in the womb, it’s senses were very limited and it could only perceive a tiny glimpse of what was happening on the outside. Nevertheless, some very gifted individual “human cells” inside baby “Humanity” managed to seek and obtain more and more detailed information about what was about to take place. Birth is one of the most traumatic and painful experiences, both for the mother and the child. Baby “Humanity” needed to be ready and each “human cell” inside of it had to awaken to the reality of it’s imminent birth. Failure to do so, many individual “human cells” might die because of the trauma, the more or less abrupt transition from being in the womb to being pushed through the birth canal and into the outside world! After all, baby “Humanity” needed to know what to do once it was born! It had never used it’s lungs or digestive system before, it merely relied on Mother Earth’s respiratory and digestive systems, which were now failing due to the strain baby “Humanity” was putting on Mother Earth. Some “human cells” labelled this birth the “ascension” process into higher dimensions, which is quite understandable. A baby in a womb would most certainly perceive the birth process as entering a totally new “dimension” through a very narrow and painful process, going through a “portal” into the “light”… Others called it “Cosmic Disclosure”, “the Event” or “Full Disclosure”, when governments around the world admit that they were in contact with ETs and that they were hiding information about new technologies such as free and unlimited energy. They need not worry, of course, for baby “Humanity” will inevitably catch it’s first breath using the lungs it does not yet know what to do with, as well as suckle on Mother Earth’s breast and swallow the first maternal milk, digesting it with it’s stomach which it does not know what it’s for yet either. Call these “nuclear fusion”, “crystal energy”, “Prana” or whatever, but rest assured that these will indeed be “revealed” as “Humanity’s” umbilical cord is cut and it catches it’s first breath.\n\nNow, many “human cells” inside baby “Humanity” are making predictions and try to assess how this whole “birth” process and ascension into a higher dimension will take place. The reality is, it will be much longer than what we think. Here is an estimation based on the development of a human embryo.\n\nA human embryo takes 9 months to develop from “conception”. The “birth” process takes anywhere between a few minutes to several hours, with a “mean” of 30 minutes to an hour, but usually taking longer if it’s the first baby.\n\nConverted in minutes, the 9 month development period is about 388800 minutes (9 x 30 days x 24 hours x 60 minutes). The ratio between the time spent in the womb and “birth” is 388800/60 = 6480.\n\nNow, in the “esoteric” and astrological community, many talk about a 25000 year cycle based on the zodiac signs and movement of the stars (about 2000 years for each zodiac sign, 12x2000 which is about 25000). This 25000 years can refer to the 9 months development period for a “civilization” (baby “Humanity”) to grow to it’s full “scale” or size, or at least, mature enough to be “ready” for birth. If so, then dividing 25000 by 6480 would be about 3.85 years. But since “Humanity” is a first born, the “birth process” itself could take much longer. It is also unclear when this “birth” process started. Some would say that 2012 was the year this started. I tend to think 2012 is more like the “expected date” that doctors give to women based on various measurements of the baby’s size and development. In essence, it’s hard to tell when exactly baby “Humanity” will emerge fully from Mother Earth’s birth canal, receive the slap on the back, take it’s first breath and be born into the 4th, 5th or whatever dimension. At present, it still looks like we are busy preparing, the vagina opening is about 5 cm wide, the doctors see the top of the head, but it’s far from over. By the way, the growing number of people “awakening” can simply be interpreted as the “human cells” of baby “Humanity” which are situated on the top of the head and are getting a “sneak peak” or preview of the outside while the rest of “Humanity” is still fully inside the womb, completely clueless of what is happening, other than feeling a certain disruption or tension in the air. Psychic readings and “channelling” can, in this regard, represent this “communication” that certain “awakened” human cells inside baby “Humanity” have established with the “outside world” (basically as if some of the cells of a baby embryo was receptive to his parents or other people speaking to it in the womb). However, as was discussed above, many “organs” are still pretty dysfunctional and need to be adjusted if baby “Humanity” is to survive out in the open. Our nervous system (the Internet), circulatory system (financial system) and digestive/respiratory system (extraction/production) still need some “tweaking” and are far from optimal.\n\nAgain, not to discourage many of you, but understand that baby “Humanity” will probably develop at the same “pace” as a human baby. How much more “evolved” would you say a 9 month old baby is compared to a new born baby? At 9 months, they barely know how to crawl… Remember the “scale” I took? 25000 years? In 25000 years, baby “Humanity” will be learning how to “crawl” in the Universe… So yes, right after birth, things might change pretty radically, but it’s not like we’ll be able to materialize anything with our thoughts in a few years… Finally, I might be misinterpreting the 25000 year cycle. It could be Mother Earth’s menstrual cycle, which would mean that baby “Humanity” is in the womb for 225000 years (9x25000). And of course, I have no clue as to how long baby “Humanity” stays in Mother Earth’s womb. Human babies spend 9 months in the womb but that time period is different for other mammals. The only “certainty” is that baby “Humanity” is about to be born, and that Mother Earth has clearly gone into labour and all is done to push us out, before baby “Humanity” suffocates in it’s now poisonous and deadly placenta, receiving less and less nutrients via the umbilical cord from an exhausted and depleted Mother Earth. In some thousands of years, baby “Humanity” will finally be ready to play with his/her cousins from across the Galaxy and maybe even across the Universe.",

What happens once the soul has experienced all there is to experience?\n\nSome say we just go back to the “light”, to the All, report back to “God”, brief him/her/it about the experience, and enjoy a blissful well deserved rest for all Eternity.\n\nSomehow, I don’t think so. I believe once the soul has experienced it all, it has become a **seed for a new Universe**.\n\nOur Universe is not infinite, it’s energy and scale have been evaluated. However, space or the void is infinite. It is like “pure energy” which has no shape, no form and only waits for a “seed” to explode, undergo a “Big Bang” to create an entirely new Universe.\n\nYou can think of a soul that has experienced all there is to experience as God’s DNA, which can “recreate” an entire Universe all by itself. It is like a spermatozoa which is sent off to a huge “void bubble” and recreates a new Universe “in the image of God” (the void of space being the women’s “egg”, in this case).\n\n![0bc4a75e-d836-426f-ad17-6e15ab12d3b1.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeU2KbKjhqqDJ4mphFtY5tCbBnWDxZQSoEMpu8evMfGBJ/0bc4a75e-d836-426f-ad17-6e15ab12d3b1.png)\n\nWhat’s the point of doing that? Well, simply populating an infinite void, infinite “nothingness” with an infinite “somethingness”. Ultimately, I think that each Universe, connects to each other Universe and forms a sort of “neural network” of all Universes (which some call the Multiverse or the Omniverse), and “God” or the “All” then becomes even more “Godly” than before. It’s the same with us humans: our children learn from us just as much as we learn from our children. Evolution never stops. Not for us, and not for God. There is **always** something “greater”, it’s just that at some point, you have to accept that it is so **huge** that our human mind could never grasp it anyway. What’s “above” a neural network of all Universes? God only knows… or does he?",

      "body": "![1.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRMbtyGngkRGgfrj77pa58Eq57YRVpZvVzb3JwHim8QaC/1.jpeg)\n\nIn many esoteric circles, it is common to hear about 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th… and more dimensions, higher « beings », higher selves, ETs, Angels, and so on and so forth. In this essay, I will try to explain these in a simple and hopefully, understandable way, and especially why it’s important to understand these concepts.\n\nI invite you to read my article “Time does not exist” as it will come in handy if you already grasp this concept first.\nhttps://steemit.com/time/@marma/my-spiritual-journey-17-time-does-not-exit \n\nThe best way I can illustrate what higher dimensions look like is examining the **coil of a spring**. You could travel upwards from coil to coil, which would be like moving between dimensions, or you could travel along the coil and gradually transition from one dimension to the next.\n\nThis concept is probably the **most important** one to grasp. Many esoteric circles insist that we are “trapped” in a three dimensional world and that what we need to do is to move to higher dimensions. In fact, they speak of the “new Earth” which will be 4D or 5D, or the “ascension” process. However, what they often fail to understand is **how** that process will happen. The “easy” way to ascend is to do what the Mayans did: commit a collective suicide and move into higher planes of existence without your physical body. But that creates a time paradox and a big problem.\n\nThink of the coil of a spring: the reason why you can move **vertically** upward to another coil is because there is a **horizontal or linear path** that leads to it. Think of it this way: imagine a movie in which the hero has to fight and struggle for 2 hours before he reaches the happy end. But in a sudden moment of lucidity, the hero sees that time does not exist, and that the “end” of the movie very much exists already and all he has to do is wish to “teleport” to the happy end so that he doesn’t have to “act out” the tedious 2 hours of fights and pain. That is exactly what the Mayans did or any other physical beings in the third dimension that decided to leave for higher dimensions: they **skipped ahead in linear time to a future where physical bodies are no longer necessary**.\n\n![2.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeyAh4fUDvwJuJwgEFBThFcDmgRo6N4GJhdAEkFwQK4Rm/2.png)\n\nBut, and here is the important part: **the end of the movie, the happy end, only exists because there is a linear story leading to it!!!** In other words, the hero which decided to skip ahead didn’t understand how this works… Someone had to replace him and “act out” the rest of the movie in order for that “happy end” to exist. And this is precisely why we incarnate in the third dimension and why higher dimensional beings love us so much: we are “acting out” the linear story which will serve as the **bridge** between the third and fourth, fifth and higher dimensions and without which they would not exist.\n\nYou can think of it just like the various colors of the rainbow. Red and Yellow objectively exist and we can identify them as separate colors, yet they are on an **infinite continuum** which transitions from red to orange to yellow. You can jump from red to yellow (from 3D to 4D or 5D…) but ultimately, the **linear** story that allows you to jump from red to yellow is this very very large spectrum of intermediary colors or **vibrations** between the two. The topic of vibrations will be discussed in a subsequent article as it is also deeply linked with this concept of dimensions.\n\n![3.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeidAjX9XgSz2reSqwvGv6cBaFnVUUNXAAJh3N53oTBjv/3.jpeg)\n*Where does red start/finish? Where does yellow start/finish? You can see that this is very much a linear continuum with a near infinite range of colors/frequencies in between red and yellow yet they still do exist independently of each other and simultaneously!*\n\nNow, to explain this idea of being a bridge between two dimensions, I will have to start with a simple example which is easy to understand: the “bridge” between atoms and molecules, or between the laws of physics and chemistry.\n\nImagine a Universe composed of only atoms bouncing into each other, sometimes with such violence that they create a nuclear chain reaction and revert back to being sub-atomic particles. How do the “laws” of chemistry appear from such a chaos?\n\nIn my article discussing time as being non-existent, the “rules” of chemistry already exist. But the **linear story bound by the laws of cause and effect** which lead to their emergence still needs to be experienced. The way the rules of chemistry emerge is via a **feedback loop** between the “future” (where atoms neatly arrange themselves as molecules) and the “past” (where atoms are still bumping into each other in a chaotic fashion). As the first “attempt” at creating the rules of chemistry emerge (for instance, the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium), it is as if the “chemistry” Universe tests **all of the possible stories** out of these basic rules and provides a feedback on the outcome (for instance, that those rules are not sufficient for the next transcendental process to occur: the emergence of **life or biology**). And so in the “physics” Universe where atoms still bump into each other, there is another attempt at tweaking the rules of chemistry, which has a repercussion on the Universe of chemistry, which again, sends feedback on whether these new rules allow for the emergence of life, and so on and so forth.\n\nIn a way, the reason why so many esoteric books say that only the mere fact of **existing** has a purpose is very true in light of this example. What we are doing, at every single minute that we are alive, without even knowing it, **is sending a feedback into the past, at the time the Universe was still a quantum soup or a bunch of chaotic atoms, saying: “this third dimensional Universe works! It has life! Come this way! Here are the rules that govern it by the way…”** We are part of this feedback loop of the “future” into the “past”! I won’t go any more in depth into this idea, but feel free to read my article on “time does not exist”.\n\nSuffice is to say that what we experience with “higher dimensional beings”, ETs, higher dimensions etc is **exactly the same process** as the example above. It is as if we were “talking” to plenty of potential futures and they were providing us a feedback on what those futures look like and how to get there **from our third dimension, building the bridge**.\n\nIt is the same as if the Sun was sending feedback to a bunch of Hydrogen atoms in the “past” to give them the “idea” to merge together.\n\nFollowing this idea, **the only force that exists in the Universe, is the force of attraction that the future exerts on the past**. The observed rules of physics, chemistry or biology are merely a **byproduct** of this process. It is as if a hero could talk to his “future self” in all the other scenes of that movie to get feedback on how to “act out” his role in an optimal way to get to the “happy end”.\n\nNow, examining the various “logic layers” of the Universe (biology, chemistry, physics…) one can see that they grow in complexity and always find a way to **transcend** the rules below, but without fundamentally violating them. The rules of biology don’t violate the rules of chemistry, yet the possibilities that emerge from the rules of biology are billions of orders of magnitude above what can be done only with the rules of chemistry. And the same with respect to the relationship between the rules of chemistry and physics. All of these logic layers respect the rules of the layers “below”, yet open up near infinite possibilities.\n\nThis ties in to the whole **simulation theory** idea. In my article on “time”, I described the Universe as being a Quantum computer which, whenever it “thinks”, consumes the entire energy of the Universe including the “energy” (physical matter) it is made of, and the result is to “recreate” itself the moment after, exactly as it was. You cannot destroy energy. The **thinking** process of this Quantum computer is… **us**! We are like a sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-thread of a computer processor. That is, the moment that Quantum computer consumes itself, it simultaneously is re-creating itself in the future, and while it already **exists** in the future, there has to be a linear story governed by the laws of cause and effect that **lead** to the creation of this computer. Of course, this is just an image, a metaphor, which is based on our current understanding, and the objects that surround us. Other metaphors for this same idea are: God, a Universal Consciousness, the “All”, Unity, Light etc…\n\nIn any case, it can be summarized by the following principle: **the Universe cannot be anything less than what it already is.**\n\nHow does all of this help us in building that bridge between the third and fourth dimension? There are several key ideas and principles to respect.\n\n- First, we will **not** become beings of pure light, with an etheric body made up of pure energy. We will **gradually transition, over thousands and thousands of years into that state**! Remember, the reason why anyone would even bother incarnating in the third dimension where everything is so “slow” and painful, is to **build that linear story bound by the laws of cause and effect which leads to the existence of higher dimensions**.\n\n- Second, this doesn’t mean that there won’t be some beings that ascend “faster” then others, but they would serve a similar role as a scientist who makes a breakthrough in understanding the physical world and tries to bring that understanding to his fellow men. For instance, imagine the first human that managed to control fire. To his fellow men, he/she must have appeared as a God or a magician! Just like a “higher dimensional being” or an ET would appear to us. But by gaining an **understanding** of how these things work allow us to **integrate these new sets of rules** which will bring us closer to building that bridge between dimensions. In this regard, the whole idea of **raising our consciousness** is spot on! The only reason the world around us doesn’t disintegrate is thanks to the fact that every single part it is made up of (the atoms, molecules, living cells, plants, animals…) **is 100% self-conscious of what it IS**. That is, no atom ever hesitates on the rules that apply to it, to molecule ever hesitates on what rules apply to it. You could say that at this point in linear time, we are the **least conscious** part of the Universe since we do not act in accordance with **who we truly are**. And this process has been continuous. What are religions other than a primitive attempt at “uncovering” the rules that should apply to humanity? And everything we have done since then has been a result of this continuous exchange or “feedback” with the “future”. Ethics, philosophy, morality, science, human rights, politics, democracy… All of it is a continuous reflection on uncovering the **rules which apply to humans**.\n\n- Third, there are lessons to be learned from all of the layers of logic below us. What it has **always** resulted in, is a state of **increased harmony and order**, and displacement of the energy of \"chaos\" in the \"upper layers of logic\" (our current human interactions are much more chaotic then the interactions of atoms or molecules). The laws of chemistry allow for harmonious and orderly relationships between atoms, the laws of biology allow for harmonious and orderly chemical reactions between molecules. And at each stage, **the whole was greater than the sum of its parts**. A human being is more than just the sum of the individual cells that make up his/her body, a sun is more than the sum of all the hydrogen/helium atoms that it is made of… Notice that while it would **seem as if free will disappears** once these rules are uncovered, the **freedom** that each layer of logic gains by abiding by the rules is immense. For instance, how do you think your atoms **feel** whenever you move your finger? I believe that they are ecstatic with joy! In a “soup of atoms bumping into one another” type Universe, each atoms’ free will was confronted with another atoms’ free will, just like if two humans would fight to occupy the last remaining seat on a crowded train. By giving up that type of free will and agreeing to abide by the rules of physics, chemistry, biology etc, the **range of possibilities** offered to atoms, as in, what they could experience, was infinitely expanded! Where in a Universe comprised of just a soup of atoms would you witness atoms moving like your finger or your body? Where in that kind of Universe would atoms arrange in such a way as to form various objects like a glass of water or a smartphone? In fact, giving up their free will for **chaotic interactions displaced this “energy”, this potential for all of these chaotic interactions into higher states of “being” (as a molecule, as a living cell…) which were infinitely more interesting than pure chaos at their level**. If your eyes managed to “see” the individual atoms around you, it would still **look** like chaos! But not one where atoms collide and set off a nuclear reaction destroying their existence. I do not believe that humans will directly experience **peace or eternal life on a global scale**. Why? Because we are still very far from the “logic layers” which might enable us to experience that. For instance, atoms have a very long life before they decay, because they are nearly 100% aligned and self-conscious. The decay of molecules is a little faster, and living cells decay even faster than that. Eternal life comes with **aligning 100% with who you are and what you are supposed to do at all times**. Picture it this way: it is as if at any point in time, all atoms had the choice to go in any direction. But **one** direction is friction-less, because it represents a direction which results from the **consensus** of all other atoms in the entire Universe. In other words: **they do not lose any energy by “competing” with other atoms on where they should be in the future, or which direction they should go**. At this present moment, we humans are still very much in competition with one another: who deserves to get this job, who should get more or less money, who should get that luxury car, etc. We could live eternally once all of these struggles are over and once we instinctively **know**, deep down, what is ideal for **all at any point in time**. Our body nearly functions in this way: every cell gets the exact amount of energy it needs to perform the action it has to perform, no more no less. But that is because it **knows** what it is! Also, notice that when our cells start taking in more energy than is necessary to keep us alive and in good health, we call that a **disease**, especially **cancer, which is a bunch of mutant cells deciding to multiply uncontrollably**. We can think of many current ultra-rich individuals as a cancer inside the global organism of humanity, which needs to be healed. It doesn’t mean that there should not be any ultra-rich, but simply that if they are, it is because they perform a specific function which is key to the development of the “global organism” of humanity. For instance, our brain cells receives more energy than our finger nails, and thankfully so! When we run, our leg muscles receive more energy than our arms and thankfully so! That is the kind of “logic” that we will have to arrive at. Ironically, this sounds very much like the “true” meaning behind Communism as envisaged by Marx: **from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs**.  However, this ideal was never meant to be applied by an **external tyrannical state** by simply by **turning within**, discovering who you truly are and what you can bring to this world, thereby also obtaining access to all the resources necessary to be who you are.\n\n- Fourth, this idea of acting as a global organism will not happen instantly. Rather, it will look very much like the **development of an embryo**. Notice that in the very beginning, every single cell is a **stem cell**, with the **potential** to be anything. This is very much like the initial soup of atoms of the Universe. They had the potential to be any molecule, but at some point, they had to settle for being one and not the other. All of us humans, right now, are like walking talking stem cells. We don’t know yet **who we are**. And those that are “awake” or raise their consciousness are akin to the very first cells inside an embryo that **specialize in order to become the heart (which is the first organ that is formed)**. At that point, they are no longer a stem cell (aka, a “real” ascended human is no longer a human, or perhaps, humans today are more like “mutant chimpanzees” and they will truly become “human” once they ascend and understand in the deepest, truest form, **who they are**). Notice how everything seems to start from the **heart** and grows more complex from there. That is exactly what is happening now. We are not going to shift radically into another dimension, some individuals will do the shift and become the heart of this global organism that humanity will be made of in some distant future. Perhaps the “being” that will be born from this process, as if humanity as a global organism became “self aware”, will be born into the 4th, 5th or even higher dimension! Perhaps we are much more advanced already then a few weeks old embryo… God only knows how far \"advanced\" we are from the perspective of a global organism! In any case, one day, when we are ready, we will come out of \"Earth's womb\", if you catch my drift!\n\nFrom these lessons, what I can deduce for our foreseeable future is:\n\n- Depending on whether we need it or not, we will come in contact with other civilizations in the Universe. Remember, the idea is the same as in the movie **Interstellar**. These ETs could be our future selves helping our past selves.\n\n- Our advances in understanding our “reality” and consciousness will gradually allow us to have more control over physical matter. We will start to understand that we are walking/talking electro-magnets, and we will greatly enhance our ability to affect matter with our thoughts (which are electro-magnetic signals emitted by the brain). **But**, these “abilities” will be used more responsibly then in the past (Atlantis…) since we will have an understanding of **why we are here** (aka, build the bridge between the third dimension and higher dimensions, and not just “dick around” with these abilities irresponsibly, like the people of Atlantis). Indeed, each “layer of logic” or each set of rules (physics, chemistry, biology…) seem to act like “stabilizers” for this reality to exist. Chemistry stabilizes physics, biology stabilizes chemistry etc.\n\n- We are to become the “guardians” of life on Earth, by gaining knowledge which will allow us to travel more effectively in space (protecting it from asteroids, natural disasters etc), and “seed” other planets with life.\n\n- We have to reflect how best to build that bridge into higher dimensions, but hints exist everywhere. I believe that ultimately, higher dimensions will “merge” with the third dimension. Take the initial idea of the coil of a spring again. I believe that this is exactly how this **oneness** or Unity builds “itself”. Since it cannot be anything less than what it already is, it is as if it was a puzzle which scrambled itself and reassembled itself gradually, where no particular “piece” of the puzzle was the center, or beginning. In other words, when you hear of **legends** and mythological tales of fairies, dragons, Gods etc, **they were real**! They existed in this “third dimension”! Only they were not “integrated” inside a linear story which respects “cause and effect”. It is as if a fully-fledged solar system “existed” immediately after the Big Bang, and was gradually “dismembered” or erased from that reality since it did not respect the laws of cause and effect for existing at that time and place. It is as if this spring was “compressed” and all of the coils were super-imposed one on top of the other, without being able to distinguish between one and another. And gradually, the spring extends and the coils separate into a neat “spiral”. But following a coil upward, when does it “objectively” reach a “higher dimension” if there is no beginning and no end to that coil? I guess you see where I’m getting at. We will gradually reintegrate various “elements” which we thought were mythological or fairy tales inside this “third dimension”, this reality, once we gain the necessary understanding and knowledge to justify their existence without violating the laws of cause and effect in linear time. Until then, they will remain “hidden”, invisible or “vibrating at a higher speed” or whatever. All of these expressions are just a way of saying that only that which can be attached via the laws of cause and effect will “materialize” in our reality, and be visible by our 5 senses. Of course, it’s a two way process: we are “raising” our vibration at the same time as we are “lowering” the vibrations of the “invisible” to attach it to linear time.\n\n![10.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPDHMqesyS1dufRQwZV21RXDAnEPNaH7aNEHVzrQXnzNc/10.png)\n\n- Remember that whatever we give a shape or form to (like spirits of nature or what not) are, once again, simply the embodiment of the \"force of attraction\" that the future exerts on the past. In this regard, our current existence, here, in this third dimension, can be seen as a \"spirit\" for atoms or molecules billions of years in the past which were only just forming and needed a guidance as to how they should interact. To give you another example, spirits of nature could be seen as the **underlying sets of rules** that apply to nature and guide its development in the third dimension where they \"manifest\" in physical form. Just like a computer program which includes the rules for randomly generating a natural environment.\n\n- Ultimately, I think the real \"bridge\" between higher dimensions will come from within. What this means is that I believe there is a \"limit\" as to how much we can shape or affect the third dimension. However, **inside our minds, our imagination is limitless. We can create an entire Universe within our minds without violating the rules of the one we are in!** Our dreams are a very good example of this. They are very \"chaotic\" at present, the laws of cause and effect don't really apply, time does not exist either in dreams (you can jump from one scene to another) but they give us a \"hint\" as to what the fourth dimension could look like: **a consensual dream of all of humanity**. Proof of this is **astral projection**, which is transferring your consciousness into your \"astral body\" or energetic body when you fall asleep. Where do you actually go? Into the 4th dimension, which exists because sometime in the future, humans build a bridge between the 3rd and 4th dimension and create a \"stable\" astral reality (as opposed to the unstable and chaotic astral reality when you are dreaming \"on your own\"). In this regard, the movie \"Matrix\" nearly got it right. We might live inside a Matrix, but we will be the ones creating it! In a way, it is already the case, except for the fact that the Matrix we could create by connecting millions and millions of human brains together would be again, infinitely more complex and allow for infinitely more interesting stories to \"exist\" then in this third dimension. Perhaps each and every human brain is like one neuron in the brain of a \"higher being\", and those neurons are yet to be connected. Perhaps we are part of a giant neural network which will create this Universal \"quantum computer\"…\n\nThis is still just theory and speculation of course. It is unclear whether individual molecules understand that they are part of a living cell, or that living cells understand that they are a part of our body. If our consciousness was limited to one of the cells inside our body, could we ever expand our imagination to fully \"grasp\" what a human being truly is? By the same token, can we really fully grasp what is this \"whole\" that we will be a part of and that will be greater than just the sum of its parts? I think not. In this regard, all we can do, is to feel reassured by several Universal truths:\n\n- We are more than our body, we are a soul, which can be thought of as this pure energy which courses through the coils of the spring, in all directions, to build a linear story out of the ALL. In this regard, we are eternal and cannot die, which should be a reassuring thought for all those who are afraid to die.\n\n- The \"force of attraction\" of the future in inescapable. Just like out of a chaotic soup of atoms is bound to organize into Stars and abide by the laws of chemistry, so too, we humans are bound to organize into something greater than anything we could ever imagine. We can only dream of what that may be, but it will inevitably manifest.",

Looking at a computer, for instance, you do agree that all that really %E2%80%9Cexists%E2%80%9D is 0 and 1, just like the fact that in the end, all that exists is pure energy and vibration. But no one interacts with computers using 0 and 1! We have developed plenty of intermediary %E2%80%9Clayers%E2%80%9D between this basic computer language, for our convenience (just like atoms, molecules and any other %E2%80%9Cform%E2%80%9D or shape that we give to matter are intermediary %E2%80%9Clayers%E2%80%9D between pure energy and us). The nice interface of your operating system, your keyboard and mouse is the current perceived reality of what a happens inside a computer which has been designed specifically for us humans. By the same token, the reality we %E2%80%9Cperceive%E2%80%9D, which is only a symbolic representation of otherwise completely abstract energy/vibration, has been refined and tweaked over the millennia for a reason. Without that interface, we would be completely lost in infinity! We would not be able to navigate through infinite energy, infinite potential, infinite timelines and possibilities. In other words, the aim here is not to get rid of the interface altogether and become a blissed-out master living in a cave, but to reflect on how to update that interface so that it allows us to move forward on our evolutionary journey. Just like moving from MS DOS to Windows 3.1, and then to Windows 10%E2%80%A6 When considering what is %E2%80%9Ctrue%E2%80%9D, think about this: which interface is %E2%80%9Ctrue%E2%80%9D: MacOS, Linux or Windows? This is an irrelevant question. The real question is: what do these respective interfaces allow us to do? So whenever you hear about people that can %E2%80%9Csee%E2%80%9D spirits, or channel beings from higher dimensions, all they are doing is updating their interface to allow for more sophisticated interactions with pure energy, pure potential, all that IS. And it is up to us to reflect, not on what is true, but what is most convenient to allow us to evolve further, collectively, as a species.\n",
