It is not like there isn’t a physical world or body; but one is also completely imbedded in a level of interpretation towards everything, a World View, with underlying perspectives dealing with it all. Its not just a concept; but it is intelligent, conscious, alive, full of Spirit . . . our Intentionality. I call this structure the “Life World.” Its not the ultimate, though, for it is also in interaction with an even “Greater World,” multifaceted, multidimensional, and fully encompassing.

With these externalized people involvements, I was saying to myself that I got to be more “core,” not involved in the old generic ways. True, most of us start at the social/personal level, the issue being the social presentation, and then what is going on behind the scenes. This becomes a little more abstract, symbolic, and we get the internalization/externalization movements going on. We end up with our worlds, societies, ways, personalities . . . whatever.

There are also even further levels of functioning involved here, consciousness with Intent: this construct can be viewed as a reality. Its not something that can be pinned down to one thing, as well: its all in motion, evolving and changing, continuously. Buddhists would say, don’t cling, let it flow.

Its not just an idea, its a form, a structure within the ever changing context of our place in the universe.

Core elements deal with this more intrinsic reality, functioning. There are higher levels of approach.

Levels, hey? True, I had no sense of the “other,” and the “universe,” of our intrinsic nature calling to us, leading us on, at first. I was pretty much at the sociable level, needing to know more of the “games people play” before I could move on, though I did have some solid starting ways and ideas. Ultimately, I realized people were just “externalizing,” and that was about it. So, there might of been something else going on in me, that I was struggling with, other than what you all were considering. There’s a greater context to some of these other parts of oneself, or even the truer Self.

On the one hand, we are at the typical; and on the other, we can be at the enhanced or the greater.

This is where work can be done . . . “Where one is at,” can be studied, perspectives compared, meanings unveiled . . .

As far as intent goes, its like the Life World within the Greater World, with its stages of interactive meaning. Further guidance may come, mythologically, with Joseph Campbell, in the Hero’s quest, going from the ordinary world through the special world; or psychoanalytically, with Washburns’s investigations of the development of the ego and then the return to the dynamic ground.

Its not just about the “nasty,” as you ordinary people think, or symbolize: that’s probably because you are “stuck” in the “given:” ultimately, its about our intrinsic levels, that are  interconnected with it all . . . ! Ah, when you saw me start to get moving . . . the Mysterion!

I got to the point when I realized we are “a Self entwined within the Universe in an interactive field of meaning and knowledge.”

“Mingyur Rinpoche gives us a preview:

Perhaps this might be like waking up in dreams that happen every night in my form-body. Last night I had a wonderful dream. I dreamed that my form-body dissolved and only the purified mind went forth. . . . And now my illusory dream has again taken on the appearance of solid form. But I do not feel dense. Nothing around me looks solid. This entire room feels afloat on an iridescent pier; forms arise and fall within rippling movements of radiance. Space and radiance are not separate from form. This is another beautiful dream. . . . I noticed that the shapes passing through, while beginning to resemble familiar forms, still seemed to be gliding on water. They appeared more transparent than solid, made more of light than of flesh and blood, more like a dream than a daytime vision. But I could not tell if I was dreaming from within my everyday waking life, or from my illusory body. And either way, I had no desire to wake up from this dream. I am enjoying this dream.”

Holecek, Andrew. Dreams of Light (pp. 62-63). Sounds True. Kindle Edition.

“Traditional peoples know that everything is interconnected. All is infused with energy and power from the same source. This enables a hunter in the Amazon to merge with the qualities of a jaguar for stealth and swiftness desired to catch his prey. It makes it possible for a healer in the high Andes to embody an active volcano, Shapeshifting into the sacred mountains of his region and engulfing clients in fire to incinerate illness. A Buginese sailor in Indonesia can blend with the consciousness of a frigate bird and fly across the ocean to chart his ship’s course. A Siberian shamanic elder can don her feathered headdress and soar like an eagle into non-physical spiritual realms. There she can gather power, energy and insight to help villagers recover from cultural oppression. The notion of oneness is integral to the hunter, healer, navigator or community leader. They can access power from other realities and adopt perceptions of other life forms. Hence these people are intermediaries to the spiritual forces of the web of life they tap into.”

“To consciously Shapeshift we direct intention to alter energy and form. Energy includes thoughts and emotions. As well, it includes the underlying spiritual blueprint or subtle force-field of anything material. Form is anything we perceive as solid or physical; for example, our bodies, buildings, cars, the earth and the elements. Yet form can also be institutions, governments, behaviors, organized religions. It can be any structure constellating itself in a defined way.”

Attempting to move my perspective up . . . it was like I was trying to put on a visor, like Geordi La Forge’s . . .

So, for the next day, I got out Monroe’s hemisync tapes . . .

Listening to the tapes . . . it was if a faint circle of light was surrounding me . . . in another, as I focused, it was like I was facing a groomed white haired elder or master, directly ahead of me, with his touching hands closed in front of him, guiding, encouraging me . . . not like in prayer, but more like my kitties paws when she is trying to be very gentle in her connection touching me . . .

I was wondering about Yvonne. We drive and I don’t get to see her face to face. I was thinking of the darker energies consequently, for I wasn’t activated there. Some deep surge of intent kicked in here, over that, reorientating, adjusting, as I moved in that other direction. It was like the other parts of that jig saw puzzle, bringing in the bigger picture, came to the fore. Though I can’t remember what it was all about.

Then I had the consideration of this woman I saw at the coffee shop: there was a deeper movement, then it wasn’t the typical images we have of people, like from a book or TV. It was like I saw this darker “sunglass lens,” orientated horizontally, with two shafts of light, one going above and one below. Symbolic of light going through a lens? She was playing with her sunglasses: that must of been the possible connector.

When I wake up at night, I like to go and sit on my recliner: it keeps me more focused, then lying in bed. But the population in this area is increasing, more noisy traffic is continuously going by. Then I got the bright idea of putting on the noise cancelling headphones I use to listen to the tapes: it was silent, dark, and I immediately was drawn into other foci.  It was like a swirling cloud of energy, twisting and moving into other dimensions. Before hand I was dreaming of this floor runner going down the stairs and then over in a different direction. This must of been “pre,” though it missed a lot of an actual experience.
