Dreamlike Worlds: The Early Stages of Human Consciousness in a Forming Universe

Book highlights from Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment by Jane Roberts

• These grids of perception “do not exist forever” in your dimension of time, for your dimension of time cannot hold anything that is outside it. Once a world exists, however, it becomes imprinted or stamped upon eternity, so that it exists in time and out of it “at once.

• So in the beginning of [your] world, consciousness fluctuated greatly, focusing gently at the start, but not quite as willing to be as fully independent as its first intent might seem. You had the sleepwalkers, early members of your species, whose main concentration was still veiled in that earlier subjectivity, and they were your true ancestors, in those terms.

• For what would seem to you to be eons, according to your time scale, men were in the dreaming state far more than they were in the waking one. They slept long hours, as did the animals — awakening, so to speak, to exercise their bodies, obtain sustenance, and, later, to mate. It was indeed a dreamlike world, but a highly charming and vital one, in which dreaming imaginations played rambunctiously with all the probabilities entailed in this new venture: imagining the various forms of language and communication possible, spinning great dream tales of future civilizations replete with their own built-in histories — building, because they were now allied with time, mental edifices that automatically created pasts as well as futures.

• What was needed was a highly focused, precisely tuned physical self that could operate efficiently in a space and time scheme that was being formed along with physical creatures — a self, however, that in one way or another must be supported by realms of information and knowledge of a kind that was basically independent of time and space.

• Your dreaming self possesses psychological dimensions that escape you, and they serve to connect genetic and reincarnational systems. You must, again, realize that the self that you know is only a part of your larger identity — an identity that is [also] historically actualized in other times than your own. You must also understand that mental activity is of the utmost potency. You experience your dreams from your own perspective, as a rule. (Long pause.) I am simply trying to give you a picture of one kind of dream occurrence, or to show you one picture of dream activity of which you are not usually aware.

• Life is to be pursued at all costs — not because it is innately meaningful, but because it is the only game going, and it is a game of chance at best. One life is all you have, and that one is everywhere beset by the threat of illness, disaster, and war — and if you escape such drastic circumstances, then you are still left with a life that is the result of no more than lifeless elements briefly coming into a consciousness and vitality that is bound to end.

The Prism of Lyra: An Exploration of Human Galactic Heritage

Below are my favorite highlights from the book. I opted to leave out the histories of our E.T. ancestors and founders and share what I feel is the most important information for us 3D linear earthlings: the purpose of polarity and the path of integration.

A CREATION STORY

• In Earth’s present development the self is recognized first, then society, and finally the Whole, All That Is, or God. Separation is still created. This separation from the Source is an illusion. This illusion is a tool that provides the Whole with all the necessary lessons and challenges it needs to experience in order to reintegrate back into the Source.

• What has been termed “creation” is indeed this fragmentation, or, more descriptively, the Dimensional Infusion. The Whole’s initial curiosity about a fragmented existence actually created the reality itself. It required a shift in perspective, focus, or frequency.

• It first held the notion that polarity and fragmentation would be the norm. The encoding in the blueprint provided the option of Free Will on the part of each fragment or soul. The challenge was in remembering that each consciousness possessed it. The more Free Will is used, the more divine memory is invoked. When faced with a polarized reality, Free Will becomes the liberator.

• Whether or not it was remembered, every action taken would generate a response from the universe. Some have called this karma; however, it is much more than “an eye for an eye.” Instead of punishments for negative behavior, there is always the option of expanding one’s awareness. Therefore, in a sense, wisdom “erases” karma.

ON SEPARATION AND FRAGMENTATION

• What was the actual process of the Dimensional Infusion? There exists within the time/space fabric of the constellation Lyra what can be called a white hole. Compare this white hole to a prism. In passing a beam of light through a prism, one gets a spectrum of light fragmented into seven visible color frequencies. When a portion of the Whole passed through The Prism of Lyra (the white hole), consciousness was fragmented into seven vibratory frequencies that represent the mass consciousness of Earth’s galactic family. Each fragment became conscious on all of these different frequencies or densities. Frequencies were previously experienced as being integrated into the Whole (like white light). When this portion of the Whole passed through the prism, it manifested as seven aware frequencies. Consciousness also fragmented, and the fragments moved “away” from each other as the “Big Bang” theory symbolically suggests. The illusion thus arose that each fragment was very, very alone.

SEVEN DENSITIES OR FREQUENCY LEVELS

1. Awareness as a point; Physical matter. The basic life forms of mineral and water, for example, are all operating from first-density frequency.

2. Second Density: Awareness as a line. The consciousness expressed by second-density vibration does not possess self-awareness (or ego).

3. Third Density: Volumetric awareness; Ego; Loss of group identity, development of individual identity; Ability to remember past and cognize the future while retaining present awareness. This is the density where human beings emerge. This is the frequency that expresses the most separation from the Whole. It is from here that many lessons about integration are learned. This is the most intense of all levels in its cultivation of growth within the Self. Cetaceans (dolphins and whales) presently exist simultaneously in third and fourth densities and are transitioning out of third along with humanity. The consciousness of primates exists in third density as well.

4. Fourth Density: Containment of volumetric awareness; Superconsciousness; Reintegration of group identity without loss of ego identity; As vibration increases, perception of past, present, and future become more fluid along with the ability to interface with multidimensional and multidensity realities; Negatively oriented consciousness becomes more difficult to maintain. Presently on Earth, fourth-density reality is overlapping third. It is easy to see how this is coming into play with the thousands of individuals upon Earth who are in therapy, in substance-abuse programs, and engaging in humanistic efforts to better the planet. This is the frequency of responsibility. This is the last frequency where physical bodies are the vehicles for the expression of consciousness. Hence many civilizations choose to spend long periods of time within this density.

5. Fifth Density: Experiential awareness of “I” as a group identity; Not bound by linear time. In this density sentient consciousness begin to awaken to its heritage. This is the density of wisdom. As one awakens the wisdom within, they very often want to share it with those who are still focused in the lower densities. Many from this realm choose to become guides for others. A fifth-density being merges with its family of consciousness (“oversoul” or “higher self,” if you will) and begins to remember. This is the first density in which a nonphysical orientation is experienced.

6. Sixth Density: Awareness as the dimension itself. This has often been called the “Christ Consciousness” in that it displays a frequency level equal to that of the Christ or Buddha. From this frequency a total remembrance occurs, and one begins taking responsibility for the Whole rather than the Self. The process of progressing the Self and progressing the Whole become one and the same.

7. Seventh Density: Awareness as the multidimensional experience; Group-matrix identity (Social Memory Complex). This is the frequency of total oneness or integration. Those who vibrate to this frequency are merged in identity and become a mass-conscious whole. They magnetize those in other frequencies and provide the current for the natural flow toward integration.

UNDERSTANDING THE PURPOSE OF POLARITY

• The “Founders” began to understand the natural energy patterns of the polarized reality just created. It became obvious to them that the newly fragmented group consciousness interfaces with specific realities (i.e. densities) within three main points: (1) A point of pure positivity; (2) A point of pure negativity; (3) The integrative point of the two. All interactions occur within the lines that connect each point, with very few aspects of consciousness existing within the points of purity.

• If a civilization or consciousness chooses integration (the willingness to grow from both polarities), they will naturally move toward the integrative point, fueled by the momentum of both polarities. This can be viewed as an allowing form of integration.

• As the process grew exponentially, the Founders began to see the infinite reflections of the Whole, and to some extent it became overwhelming to them. As these groups evolved and achieved space travel, they exposed themselves to the development of other planetary groups in the area. Cultures began to mix and grow. New philosophies were born. For a period of time the Lyran races rapidly developed advanced technology, expansive philosophy, and strong social development due to the interactions between these planetary cultures. Then the dynamics of the template began to be displayed. Polarities began to solidify, generating their own polarization that continued exponentially in turn. Negative polarities began splitting and manifesting their own negative/positive poles. Positive poles did the same. The feminine expressed its masculine, and the masculine expressed its feminine. Polarities exploded like viruses within the previously blossoming civilization.

• When opposite polarities are forced, not integrated, they cause fusion.

• These negative/positive orientations are not judgments. They are representative of the idea of poles — equal but possessing opposite energy.

• When two opposite polarities meet, they are naturally attracted. When they attempt fusion (rather than integration) they produce a force of enormous energy. They produce sparks. They produce change. Sometimes they even produce pain.

ON INTEGRATION

• It seems obvious that a civilization would not be able to reach the cosmos and the folding of space-time dimensions if it cannot resolve its conflicts on a planetary level. The expansion of consciousness required for such a leap may be dependent upon the unified whole. If the whole is not integrated and balanced, attempts may be fruitless. Earth may just not be ready. Humanity wants to reach for the stars but very often cannot even reach for the hand of its neighbor.

• The extraterrestrial connection is important, but what is even more important is developing a global perspective. Expansion will come from action — the claiming of responsibility for Earth by humanity itself. The extraterrestrials will not intervene to clean up humanity’s mess. Earth is entering adulthood and has been kicked out of the nest. It would serve humanity to release its victimhood, claim its divine birthright, and create heaven on Earth. The extraterrestrials can only remind humanity of its unlimited potential.

ON THE VEIL OF FORGETFULNESS

• Their desire to create forgetfulness was so strong that they remembered nothing of their origin. They did not dream. They did not meditate. They did not pursue creative activities except to maintain their structure of domination. When their zealousness translated into physical reality, it created a culture driven by the desire for domination — over each other and the universe around them.

• They had cut themselves off from spirit even to the point of death, where an immediate reincarnation into the system occurred again, further alienating them from any form of nonphysical existence.

SIRIANS / HIGHER REALM CETACEANS / MAYAN CONNECTION

• It is important to note that the Sirians are not meant to be spoken about as a group of extraterrestrials as much as a group consciousness expressing itself both physically and nonphysically.

• Though it is only a small percentage, a group of positive Sirians decided to incarnate into physicality as well. However, they rejected the humanoid form for a form that is more representative of their nature. This form is the cetacean. Dolphins and whales represent a translation of Sirius energy upon a physical, polarized world. In archetypal symbology, water represents the subconscious. Cetaceans are there silently — in Earth’s oceans and in the sea of humanity’s subconscious. They remain as a reminder of humanity’s potential for integration.

• These Mayans were, in a sense, tourists from the Sirius realm (incarnate here on Earth) who wanted to experience physicality from a closer vantage point. Their relationship with the Mayans was so intimate that the Sirians actually shared with them the technology of transmutation — from matter to pure energy/consciousness. When their lessons were complete, the masters of the Mayan race vanished (transmuted), leaving behind a trail for humanity to follow.

ON CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS AS A HOLY EXAMPLE OF INTEGRATION

• Then something miraculous occurred. During generations of spiritual gestation a seed began to grow. A soul incarnated who embodied all the hopes and dreams of the Orion races and had none of the hatred or fear. When he was born, he was safely contained in an energetically and emotionally neutral environment deep within the planet so he would not become polarized. At adulthood he began to teach.

• He taught universal laws — integration cannot be achieved through negativity. One must integrate positivity and negativity to the balance point. One must love, not fear. The idea of peace and freedom must be loved so much that one is willing to live it in one’s soul despite outside manifestations.

ON ANGELS / ETs

• When passing through The Prism of Lyra, there were some beings who decided to remain in nonphysical form. These beings lovingly chose an existence of service to those of the more dense realities, such as third-density Earth. They realized that on developing physical worlds the evolving life may need assistance from other realms. This assistance would come in the form of archetypes, angels, guides, and unseen inspiration.

• Very often Arcturan beings will manifest to humans as angels. They have chosen to learn about physicality through physical beings.

• They are etheric in nature. Their energy can be felt as a presence, a surge of creativity or unconditional love. They will manifest according to the belief system of the person with whom they are interacting. To the more traditionally religious, it will be as angels. To some of the more modern seekers, perhaps as extraterrestrials or future selves. Either way the outcome is the same — an interaction with a truly loving being devoted to the service of physical beings and thus the Whole.

ORIGIN STORY AND ENDING

• Once [we] made the choice to receive knowledge of polarity [we] were fully anchored in the physical. [We] now possessed ego, or knowledge of “I am,” and became self-aware.

• Resolution comes from allowance. If the human race can truly allow diversity within unity from a point of nonjudgment, Heaven on Earth will be created.

• Integration means the allowance of all levels of being as valid portions of the whole. It means letting go of denial. It means embracing ourselves as well as each other.

• Existence and change are the only constants.

• The conscious action that will accelerate our integration process is very simple — allowance. If we allow on all levels in which the integration takes place, we will see our paths unfold before us joyously.

Integration will take place on four main levels: Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, and Physical.

MENTAL
For us to integrate our mentality means that we allow ourselves to combine not only our cerebral processes, but our intuitive and emotional ones as well. The kind of thought today that is validated most is almost entirely head-centered. Formulas and calculations determine the reality of twenty-first century Earth. If we can allow ourselves to understand that the intuitive and emotional processes are just as valid and can be used in combination with the mental, we will be well on our way toward integrating our mentality.

EMOTIONAL
Integrating emotionally means that we begin learning how to embrace our shadow self. We can start opening inner closets and digging deep into the subconscious for beliefs which hold us back. More often than not, these neglected parts of ourselves only want attention. Denial and separation only prolongs the pain of existence. Let us learn from these other selves on distant worlds. Let us not repeat the same lessons over and over again.

SPIRITUAL
To integrate spiritually is perhaps the easiest of all. Each person possesses an inner spirituality that is not connected to doctrine. If we can release the doctrine and touch the innate spirituality, we begin the integration process. It extends outward onto the planet by the honoring of every person’s truth as a manifestation of the One Truth. This allows each of us to coexist within our philosophies without needing to change each other’s beliefs. If we have the courage to begin touching this inner spirituality, we will see our transformation blossom. Our divine nature is already an integrated experience — but can we learn to transcend the mind’s ego games and see our true Selves?

PHYSICAL
Integration physically is slightly different. It involves an acknowledgment of our past and our history as being part of a grander scenario on a cosmic scale. From the Source and the Founders we fragmented. We have stretched our individualization to its outer limits. Coming together will require us to once again acknowledge and accept ourselves as part of our galactic family. As we move through our racial fears and stop allowing skin color and cultural differences to be barriers between us, …. we can allow integration on all levels into our physical life here on Earth.

Five steps for creating a new idea

This short, creative self-help book was written in the 1930s by an ad exec and it is, by far, the most useful text I’ve come across on the subject of creating new ideas.

“An idea is nothing more nor less than a new combination of old elements … This technique of the mind follows five steps. I am sure that you will all recognize them individually. But the important thing is to recognize their relationship and to grasp the fact that the mind follows these five steps in definite order — that by no possibility can one of them be taken before the preceding one is completed, if an idea is to be produced.”

The steps — summarized as succinctly as possible — are:

1. Gather raw material — specific and general. In advertising an idea results from a new combination of specific knowledge about products and people with general knowledge about life and events.

2. Masticate your material — take the different bits of material which you have gathered and feel them all over, as it were, with the tentacles of the mind. Make connections. Write every new thought down. Do this until you are beyond tired and even then go further.

3. Make absolutely no effort of a direct nature — drop the whole subject and put the problem out of your mind. Watch a movie. Listen to music. Go for a walk. Sleep.

4. Out of nowhere the Idea will appear — this is the way ideas come: after you have stopped straining for them and have passed through a period of rest and relaxation from the search.

5. Take your little newborn idea out into the world of reality — do not make the mistake of holding your idea close to your chest at this stage. Submit it to the criticism of the judicious.

“When you do this, a surprising thing will happen. You will find that a good idea has, as it were, self-expanding qualities. It stimulates those who see it to add to it. Thus possibilities in it which you have overlooked will come to light.”

Favorite quotes: Warrior Goddess Training by HeatherAsh Amara

• The first step to claiming your strength and igniting your will is to get clear about what you want. Not what your victim wants, or what your judge wants, or what you would like, but what your highest vision and purpose is for yourself. What I have found is that when you get clear about your heart's desire, the Universe steps up in magnificent ways to support you!

• So I say, if you are burning, burn. If you can stand it, the shame will burn away and leave you shining, radiant, and righteously shameless. —Elizabeth Cunningham

• What is your main taproot? Make it deep and solid. Redirect it if it has grown attached to a person or ideal. Anchor yourself in infinity, in earth, to the life-force. Where is your true source of energy and stability? Reach deep.

• How to clear old emotions: Take five minutes each day, whether you feel like it or not, to move through some emotions. You can also do this by dancing vigorously and yelling. Use your voice; scream, cry, om, growl . . . let your emotions move!

• Life does not personally punish people or seek to cause suffering; it simply moves.

• When you let go of who you wish you were, you reclaim your power to be radiantly, magnetically, and creatively who you are.

How to Love (Mindful Essentials) by Thich Nhat Hanh

1. Hugging meditation is a practice of mindfulness. “Breathing in, I know my dear one is in my arms, alive. Breathing out, she is so precious to me.” If you breathe deeply like that, holding the person you love, the energy of your care and appreciation will penetrate into that person and she will be nourished and bloom like a flower.

2. The roots of a lasting relationship are mindfulness, deep listening and loving speech, and a strong community to support you.

3. When your loved one is talking, practice listening deeply. Sometimes the other person will say something that surprises us, that is the opposite of the way we see things. Allow the other person to speak freely. Don’t cut your loved one off or criticize their words. When we listen deeply with all our heart—for ten minutes, half an hour, or even an hour—we will begin to see the other person more deeply and understand them better. If they say something that’s incorrect, that’s based on a wrong perception, we can give them a little information later on to help them correct their thinking. But right now, we just listen.

4. Recognizing our habits and smiling to them is the practice of appropriate mental attention, which helps us create new and more beneficial neural pathways.

5. If you’re too upset to speak calmly, you can write a note and put it where the other person will see it. Here are three sentences that may help. First: “My dear, I am suffering, I am angry, and I want you to know it.” The second is: “I am doing my best.” This means you are practicing mindful breathing and walking, and you are refraining from doing or saying anything out of anger. The third is: “Please help me.”

6. When our bodies are very close, we feel it will relieve this loneliness. But if we don’t share our aspirations and what’s in our hearts, then even if we live together or have children together, we can still feel very alone.

7. To love is not to possess the other person or to consume all their attention and love. To love is to offer the other person joy and a balm for their suffering. This capacity is what we have to learn to cultivate.

8. We cling to objects and to people like a drowning person clings to a floating log. Everything is impermanent. This moment passes. That person walks away. Happiness is still possible.

9. The sixth mantra is, “You are partly right.” When someone congratulates you or criticizes you, you can use this mantra.

10. We are aware that blaming and arguing can never help us and only create a wider gap between us; that only understanding, trust, and love can help us change and grow.
