Beyond Ourselves
Raising vibrations and ascending to a higher state of existence.
How to raise vibrations and then as part of that journey ascending to a higher level on this plane or the next.
What does this mean?
How to raise yourself to a level that feels and seems and IS different from anything you have ever experienced before.
Its hard to achieve. It takes time to raise yourself to a state of 'mind altering' consciousness (conscious awareness).
If it were easy we would all live in bliss.
Its not easy, its supposed to be a result of methodical and systematic change to reach self awareness followed by transcendence.
This article is not about the process of getting there. That's hard to explain as its different for everyone. We try to explain some of the ways on other webpages here. For example meditations, daily practices, awareness training.
This is about how you are and how you feel when you get to the level of transcendence.
Your vibrations are raised. Your consciousness is focused not on the outside world but on within.
You feel your breathing as air enters and leaves your lungs.
You feel tingles and sensations at different points on your body. Relaxation of the body to a point where you are at physical peace.
Obstacles
The world is full of challenges. Death destruction and negative forces are everywhere. TV, newspapers, internet. War and conflict. Rulers seeking more power and control. Systems designed to perpetuate themselves rather than help change lives for the better.
There has been a steady increase in desire for material possessions in the world, and a consequent and equal recession of spiritual impulses for many people.
Whether its financial, legal, religious. And every system eventually falls because of its own flaws.
How can we make a difference when there is so much to do, to change.
Change happens in society through evolution (small changes to the status quo) or revolution (chaotic change for better or worse).
What is truly in our power to control in a positive way?
Ultimately only what we do ourselves. Everything else is just 'influence' rather than control. Positive influence is not about coercion or authority, its about leadership by example.
Transcendence is about personal leadership by example.
Encouraging positive change through our own actions, thoughts and words.
When we reach the point of enlightenment we understand this fully. Examples of leadership in a positive way - Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Buddha, Prophets of old, Jesus.
So however you decide to make a difference make sure you make the change from within first.
The Change
Every day there are new signs of people reaching a state of enlightenment. The biggest factor in this is education. Only in the last 100 years or so has there been a national education system put in place by many countries.
Opening minds to new information and the ability to learn transforms the individual and the collective.
This passes on at an accelerated pace from generation to generation (unless war and disaster intervene).
As each generation learns earlier and learns for longer periods so we evolve at an increasingly faster pace.
Old systems die quickly. Communism, Fascism, Kingdoms, Religions.
What worked in the past to control us and guide us to a better life is not needed as much when we are enlightened (informed/educated).
This is the grand journey of our time.
A very personal spiritual journey. Less important are the big concepts, themes or ideas of our time. The earth is round. Life exists elsewhere in the universe. We are mortal beings. The potential for conflict exists when two people interact. Climate change is real and continuing. People are selfish and greedy. We lack the determination to fix our global issues.
Personal change is our highest achievement we can strive for. Personal rather than mass change. Lets hope there are enough who do change at the same time. Mass change from personal change that changes our world.
