I stood there in silence while my mind raced on and on for over ten minutes. I had no idea what I was about to get myself in to. As my mind raced, my heart began to pound faster and faster. I was having an anxiety attack. I couldn’t let my body go through this if I was to go through the Gate. I remembered what Selmip said – keep it simple. I focused my attention on absolutely nothing and stopped my mind from running circles around itself. It started to work. As soon as I had calmed down completely and regained my composure, I saw a figure heading my way. I could tell by the look on this unknown face that he too was feeling a bit tense. As he approached he began to speak.
“Nice to finally meet you, fair son. My name is Snepal.” He reached out to shake my hand with his right hand and then immediately shoved a Quacktail into my left. “I believe we are going to need these,” he finished with a smile. The two of us drank our Quacktails, let our eyes burn and our heads begin to spin, and then walked side by side through the Kaleidoscope.
It took a couple of minutes for our heads to clear after we entered the other side. I noticed Snepal shake his head in an attempt to clear his vision. I looked back to make sure the Kaleidoscope and our return home was still there. It was, and a bit of my acquired anxiety left. When I turned back around, I noticed we were in a completely dark room, I guess you would say. I couldn’t see any walls, but then again, I couldn’t see anything that was not directly next to, in front of, or behind me.
A moment later, Snepal and I saw a console slowly begin to rise up out of the floor in front of us. When it stopped, the two of us noticed five large buttons on the face of the console. The first four buttons had a number on them. The numbers started at one and went to four, respectively from left to right. The fifth button had a star on it. Snepal and I looked at each other. We stared for a couple of seconds, and then I went forward and pushed the button numbered one.
As I released the button, a holographic screen rose out of the console. At the top of the screen was a title – Planes of Human Existence. As we read the title, other words began to print themselves on the screen and the two of us read them as such:
Planes of Human Existence
1st = Physical Reality
- sensation
- touch, see, hear, smell, taste
- body is an organ of sensation
- self-observation
* to transcend: must become aware (conscious) of the senses on the physical body in every single moment of time and space (Here & Now)
Explanation: The first plane is called the Physical Reality, because it is comprised of the Physical Body, the material. The Soul, or the immaterial, is born into a physical shell – the body. It is the first plane because it is Humanity’s basic entrance into the Physical Reality. Within this plane Space and Time constraints exist. Humanity lives within a 4-Dimensional world – 3 dimensions of space and 1 dimension of time. Time, however, is part of space, because it is simply just a linear space that our minds perceive. Human bodies and hearts deal in 3D space while the mind deals with time in a 4D space as the mind goes along the linear sequence. When all 4-Dimensions are put together, the moment of creation is apparent – both the creation of this reality and the creation of Humanity physically. The body is how the Soul (spirit) interacts with physical objects (manifestations of 3D space). Thus, the Soul residing in the body, allows Humanity a chance to experience and walk through connected, physical space. However, everything in the Physical Reality is made up of energy at different vibration levels coming together to make “forms” or “objects.” As a result, none of the Physical Reality is real – it is just a 3-Dimensional show of what energy can become physically as the mind tries to register all of this in the 4th dimension.
Objective: The objective within this reality is to obtain the self-observation of physical material (forms/object) and the interactions between those. Also called the “Sense State.” The Sense State is the ability to be consciously aware of an individual’s “real” existence among all of the other forms/objects manifesting at the same time and to interact with those forms/objects while still being aware of the individual during the entire process. Humanity must continually sense the world through the senses of the physical body and constantly be aware of those sensational interactions within the mind.
Practice: Physical stretching/Yoga
The words stopped and the holographic screen went blank. I couldn’t believe what Snepal and I were reading. I ached for more information and hurriedly stepped forward to hit the second button. The words continued . . .
2nd = Emotional Reality
- actions of the heart
- range of emotions
- heart is the organ of emotion
* to transcend: must learn the difference between positive and negative emotions and begin to emit positive emotions and eliminate negative (energy wasting) emotions; also must realize that negative emotions stem from the individual and not from some external stimulus/phenomena.
Explanation: The second plane is called the Emotional Reality, because it is comprised of the emotions of the Heart. The Heart can produce both positive and negative emotions. Negative emotions are engraved into the Human psyche at birth through the experiences and patterns each individual goes through. As a Soul grows, it experiences both the positive and negative emotions. Unfortunately, it is hard for an individual to decipher which emotions are good and which are bad because of all of the impressions that are put upon through experience. To simplify, positive emotions feel good and conserve energy while negative emotions feel bad and waste energy. An individual can’t, however, always tell which ones feel good and which ones feel bad since some negative emotions (habits) individuals acquire seem as if they are positive and beneficial. The only way to truly tell is to recognize which emotions conserve energy and which ones waste energy.
Objective: The basis behind this reality is the unquenchable desire to be “unconditionally loved.” All emotions manifest from this desire. However, there is a catch to being able to be unconditionally loved, and in order to have this one must obtain the “Ever-loving State.” The Ever-loving State is the state of constantly feeling perfect about one’s self (not vanity though) in order to love one’s self. If an individual does not love his/her self then that person can never be unconditionally loved and realize the potential of Love. Once the Ever-loving State is achieved individuals are able to obtain a positive energy course and can easily tell the difference between positive and negative emotions. Within this state Humans can control the wasting, negative emotions and conserve energy, when the Heart becomes a calm fire that is under control.
Practice: Feel the Heart beat; fill the Heart with love
Once again the words stopped. I had this uncanny feeling as I pressed the third button and the words once again filled the holographic screen.
3rd = Mental Reality
- catalogue, don’t analyze
- simplicity
- mind is the linking organ = point of existence
*to transcend: must realize what the mind is and how it works in order to make it work the correct way and not fight itself; must also allow the Mind to stop analyzing (thinking) and rest without thought thus showing the essence of being (consciousness) and causing the realization that one goes on forever.
Explanation: The third plane is called the Mental Reality because it is comprised of the Mind. The Mind is how the Soul (immaterial) gets its direct link to the physical, material world the first two planes deal with. The Mind is chaotic and is constantly running and processing information. It is here the 4th Dimension takes place as the Mind is stuck on the Time linear of Space. The Mind, as an organ, already knows how to work. It processes information that the Physical Body and Heart experience. Where Humanity goes wrong is in the concept of analyzation. The way the Mind is used at present has a tendency to move in an analytical direction in order to teach individuals from their past and anticipate the future that is to come. As a result, it gives the false impression that Reality can be controlled. Unfortunately, nothing can be controlled except the way the Mind works and functions. The Point of Existence is where pure, positive energy from the Source (immaterial void; also known as God) comes into the Physical Dimension and creates forms and beings by slowing down the vibrational level of energy.
Objective: The objective within this reality is to correct the way the Mind functions and realize the concept of The Point of Existence. Instead of analyzing everything, the Mind needs to be at peace as it processes experiences from the first two planes. There can be no worry of the past and no anticipation of the future. The Mind needs to simply rest, working as it should, by recording observations and experiences. In order to achieve this one has to reach the “Focused State.” The Focused State is where the Mind has focused attention rather than fleeting thoughts that keep it going in circles. In the Focused State, the Mind is as calm as water when it is undisturbed. This calmness only comes once an individual eliminates anxiety, anticipation, and analyzation. Humanity can reach the focused state only after the first two planes have been realized. Calming the Mind in such a manner as described here takes a huge amount of energy, because Humans must understand how to observe and their place in connected space.
Practice: Meditation.
At this point, I did not know what to think. Actually, I realized I need not think. Not thinking was the key. As I pressed the fourth button, I let my mind wander thoughtlessly and was hoping that Snepal was doing the same thing.
4th = Spiritual Reality
- immaterial
- vibrations
- soul is pure energy
* to transcend: must keep the Physical Body continuously sensing, the Heart continuously positive, and the Mind continuously calm.
Explanation: The fourth plane is called the Spiritual Reality, because it is comprised of the Soul, the immaterial. It is also the highest vibrational level allowed in the Physical Dimension. The Soul is immaterial, because it cannot be perceived. Humanity will never reach this plane if the Soul is seen as untrue or non-existent. Spiritual Reality is the highest vibration level. It takes a huge amount of energy to stay at/in this plane. It has been referred to in the past as “Moments of Enlightenment” where there is clarity, no doubt, calmness, and peace. Often referred to as seeing God. The Soul is encased in the Physical Body, expressed through the Heart, and linked to reality through the Mind.
Objective: The objective of this plane is to obtain complete freedom by combining all of the lower three planes in order to enter this fourth plane. In order to do this, Humanity must reach the “Consciousness State.” The Consciousness State is when an individual realizes what eternity actually is. Eternity is actually “The Moment” – every single second of every single minute of every single hour or every single day of every single year, etc. – also known as the Here & Now. However, in order to reach the Consciousness state, Humanity has to realize the Dream and overcome the common misconceptions about reality. Reality is nothing more than a physical dream of consciousness immersed completely in the simplicity of the Here & Now. Unfortunately, everything Humans must do to survive within reality is just a formality in society’s own manifested reality and complex way of existence. Therefore, realization of the true reality of things is clouded by society’s misconception of what it thinks reality is. The Dream is that none of this exists. It is all just a stepping-stone to the next phase of existence.
Practice: See the energy of everything; realize the Dream.
With the conclusion of the last plane, I couldn’t imagine what the button with the star on it would provide. With anticipation, I looked at Snepal as I pressed the fifth button. I felt as if God himself was talking to me, giving me insight into all of this knowledge that was being presented in front of the two of us as we read on . . .
Conclusion: Planes 1 or 2 can be transcended in any order, but both must be completed before a being can begin Plane 3. As a being completes (understands) a plane, its vibrational level moves up a bit higher.
Once Plane 3 is transcended, the ability to complete Plane 4 arises. Without completing Plane 3, Plane 4 cannot be worked on. Plane 4 is the highest physical beings can get, but by working on Plane 4, the Highest Plane is realized. It is only in Plane 4 where a being can begin working on existence in the Source and start preparing for the next phase of existence.
The reason for the hierarchy of planes is because of energy. As a being transcends Plane 1, the vibration level of the being’s energy increases. The same holds true for transcending Plane 2. A being must transcend Planes 1 and 2 before work can begin on Plane 3, because Plane 3 requires a huge amount of energy in order to calm the Mind and keep it calm. Once the Mind is kept calm day after day, then work on Plane 4 can begin. It is very hard to constantly exist in Plane 4, and most beings are thrown back into the lower planes. This results from the negativity that exists in the Physical Dimension.
In Plane 4, the vibration level is so high, even the smallest negative aspect will knock a being off-center. The best example is a spinning top. The top spins so fast that even the slightest physical matter or negative reaction to its position will cause it to topple off course. To explain better, as a being exists in Plane 4, any negativity will drop the vibration level. For example, if a being forgets to Sense his/her surroundings in Plane 1 the vibration level is dropped out of Plane 4. The same holds true if a being lets negative emotions fill its Heart and wastes energy. Also, if a being lets the Mind analyze and confuse itself, rather than remain thoughtless, his/her vibration level will drop. As a result, if any part of the lower three planes are forgotten, the being is knocked off track.
A key to remember: Sensation must override analyzation – that is why Plane 1 must be transcended before Plane 3 can be worked on; Plane 2 must also be complete before Plane 3 can be worked on in order to conserve the energy needed to calm the Mind in Plane 3. At any point, Plane 4 can be knocked off by the inability to combine all of the previous three planes in a constant state of awareness (Consciousness).
And with that, the holographic screen disappeared, the console sunk back to its original home, and Snepal and I were left in complete darkness.
The two of us turned to head back through the Kaleidoscope Gate when we heard a voice from behind us in the darkness.
“Leaving so soon?” the voice asked curiously. “Heard enough for one day?”
Neither of us knew how to respond so we waited dumfounded.
“There is so much more that you Quacks have no understanding or insight about. None of you comprehend the Immaterial and the Material, the Diagram of Reality, Common Misconceptions, In Between and Dreaming, or the Duality of Existence. All I am waiting for is the right combination of Quacks to enter this place beyond space and time. And while I have the two of you here still, there is one more concept I must explain before you leave and send me the next two.”
When the voice finished, the console rose back up from the floor. This time there was only one button labeled with two letters – IM. I walked forward and pushed the button. Once again, the holographic screen rose and words began to fill it. Across the top of the screen were the two words – Immaterial/Material. The words following were as such:
The Immaterial consists of those things outside of the Material – the Physical Reality. It is where the Conscious Source of pure energy is found. Within the Immaterial there are no limits of Space-Time. Here is where there is a calm of rest and peace where nothing matters because it already IS what it is; whatever IS needs not become something else. The Immaterial is the source for the Material. The pure (positive) energy of the Conscious Source is the highest vibration level, or wavelength, that there is. It is where this pure, high vibration energy starts to lower its wavelength when the Material forms. The point at which the high vibration starts to lower is called the Point of Existence – where the Material begins to form.
The Material consists of those things inside the Physical Reality. It is where the pure energy of the Conscious Source slows down its vibration to manifest Forms and Beings. Within the Material there are Space-Time limitations and constraints. Here is where there is a chaotic experience of combinations of energy in which different objects are manifested into Reality. In this realm, the Perceiver (being) experiences variations of energy in forms and objects that can be manipulated to create the Environment.
The Immaterial is the creator of the Material, and the Material is where Humans are created within. The Soul of Humanity is always connected to the Immaterial (Conscious Source) regardless if Humanity realizes it or not. In order to realize this connection, however, Humanity must transcend Planes 1 or 2 and begin to work on the rest of the Planes of Existence. There is where the work must start.
See the following - Immaterial/Material: Diagram
The diagram stayed there for a while in order for Snepal and I to study over it and comprehend what was being shown to us. Then, just as before, the screen disappeared and the console sank back into the floor. The voice began to speak to us again.
“One of you needs to come back in order for the next step to be taken. The Quacks are getting far, but are still very distant from the finality of this knowledge. Tomorrow, please make your selection of the two who will walk through the Gate. Until then . . .” The voice faded away, and we were left in the dark.
