The Astral World

This is my summary of the interesting book Witness from Beyond I recently read. The book is out of print and hard to find.

So that I am within the free will of copyright, I will gather the themes of the book that caught my attention and then discuss them in my own words.

1. Higher planes of consciousness are not "higher up there" but rather "finer". They are vibrationally finer, quicker, smoother...they are not dense or slow.

2. The world of the other side is only a change of condition. As water exists as ice, liquid, gas, so do the other realms exist concurrently and overlap each other. The other side, afterlife is not visible to our physical eyes because of the wavelength of the energies but it is visible to our third eyes and in meditation and during the dream state. Just as radio waves are not seen does not mean they do not exist.

3. Each overlapping realm exists together. There are "dead" people and living people able to exist in almost the same space....we just can't "see" or "talk" to each other, except when aligned in free will and via telepathy/thoughts.Personality exists in both physical and nonphysical. As does consciousness. Only the bodies are different. Each body is compatible to the plane it is designed to exist upon. We have a physical body, astral body, mental body and a spiritual body. We also have an individual body and a group body. Each level is a varying degree. We are connected to each other on all levels and yet, here in the physical and also in the astral/mental still retain our individual consciousness. Group existence (not as groups of individuals but as an individual group) is in spiritual body as we get into oversouls/monads.

4. Physical body has enhanced organs and background chakras. Astral body has enhanced chakras and background something else (let's call it A). Mental body has enhanced A and background something else (let's call it B). And so on. All bodies are dependent and yet independent at the same time. All coexist. Your higher self and your physical self are dependent and independent, you exist on different levels at once. Your current consciousness in the physical body has a different perspective than your current consciousness in the higher self. But all are the same.

5. Sound is color and color is sound in higher realms. This is clearer from astral body onward...although you do notice that mantras enhance your chakra colors here. ;)

6. Sense of smell is also retained in astral body....according to the book. This is something interesting and worth studying.....that is why incense/essential oils use is powerful in spiritual practices....

7. Astral body, emotional body is denser than mental and emotions govern it....so if you feel great it is working well....if not then you get an astral checkup from an astral doctor. Astral body can shape and reshape. You can dress yourself how you wish using your astral body....remember it is also tied to your emotions so smell the flowers, listen to the music and stay in joy to keep going in astral body.

8. Travel by thoughts is the mode of travel for mental body...this is where teleportation happens...you think and you are there.

9. Astral libraries exist with replica earth books in astral form. Mental plane users read from thoughts from the ethers and do not need to hold any books, everything is read from Light.

10. Astral plane is like airplane looking down on earth in regards to time. Astral plane sees all time both past, present and future as one.

11. Addicts exist in astral planes....cravings have an emotional effect, that craving is what is not resolved after losing the body....be satisfied don't crave and you have nothing to resolve.

12. When we set clear intentions and ask for it from our Creator and feel and know it is done...then walk away...those intentions manifest using astral substance while we are busy here....that is why you get things you ask for later in life.....the astral surprises the conscious mind, they operate on two levels but yet also on the same.

13. When we ponder our lives every now and then, when we take the third person perspective and step out of our bodies...it makes the pondering easier on the other side..why? because you already did it. Well that is number 13, which since it is soon 2013...sounds like a good place to end this post. Bless you all my brothers and sisters.

The Time-Space journey

As I am busy writing a resume for a job I am applying for, the technology curve has increasingly continued behind the scenes. Now my resume is uploaded into a computer system, scanned by a computer, ranked by a computer, and then somewhere in the process my name comes out as "output" so someone can call me for an interview. As I am preparing for my US income taxes and filing online again this year I have already typed some numbers into a website in California and then they will mail a 1099 to someone for me. When I shop for food, I can self checkout and not even talk to a person. I have created an item for Amazon and had its bar code instantly created for me somewhere in the US and emailed to me as a pdf to add to my products. We seem to be glued to our smartphones more and more, and often are with earphones in listening to mp3 music. Our body senses seem to have been replaced. I honestly can say we have already begun moving out of our bodies for our new consciousness bodies.

In order to sort through the increased quickness of the technology that has entered into everywhere in our lives (yes they do have robo-vaccums and you can talk to your house to turn the lights on/off and yes your new cars can be configured to call others through your radio or switch back to the GPS function...let us not mention Skyping to others on the ends of the earth)....anyway the technology only increases and the time only quickens (i.e. what is time? we have near mastery over it- at least on the consciousness level, our bodies do still age). Everything speeds up more and more each year, which is in a big picture what the earth is doing. Increased rays from the galaxy are shifting our solar system and thus earth into a speedy move into the future where space and time no longer exist. Yes, one day space and time will no longer exist on our earth. We will no longer require X time to move X distance or be individualized in our own spaces. We will be part of a large collective that lives and breathes the same- aren't we already becoming here on COS? This is how it is in Time Space. Time and space is rapidly entering the picture where we have 100% mastery over time, and we are all things and they are us and we don't exist in a space anymore. As the bits and bytes continue to accelerate we shift more into light. We zip to and from and everything rotates rapidly around us.

What does this mean from the time space perspective? Those waiting for us on the other side of the portal....time space folks like angels and spirit guides and passed over loved ones are getting closer. Eventually we will be walking our consciousnesses into their places without even looking back....who has time to review when there is so much to do in the future? Anyway just some thoughts, let me hear your perspectives.

City of Shamballa Scheduled Maintenance Oct 17

For COS members- a message from our provider Ning: We wanted to let you know that your Ning Network will be affected by some performance-related maintenance we are performing starting today, October 17th at 12PM Pacific Time.

We will be moving a batch of networks to a new, upgraded server. During this maintenance, your Ning Network will not be accessible and will display a branded maintenance page during the approximately 5 to 60 minutes of expected downtime (depending on the size of your network). Please note that the date and time that your network will be affected by this maintenance will vary, but the expected downtime length will not change. Most networks will only experience a few moments of downtime.

The City of Shamballa in 2013

There has constantly been talk about December 21, 2012 being the end of the world. If you believe that, please excuse me if I offend you. It is my opinion that the world will not end. It will embark upon a journey, which it has been on since at least the publishing of Dr. JJ Hurtak's book, The Keys of Enoch® if not before when Dr. Usui first received a Reiki attunement on Mount Kurama. The opening of December 21, 2012 is the fully grounded opening of the next Golden Age which will continue for many years to come. This marks the begining of the official merge between space and time and time and space.

What does this mean? Ascended Masters will be working closely with incarnated initiates. Polarized consciousness will go to the background in favor of Universal Love. Right now the battleground is for our minds. Constantly we are provided media stories and advertising with subtle messages to be judging and separative. These are the last throes of the so called "Dark Forces." This is what the polarized mind sees. As we have grown in Shamballa, we see lots of free will trying to impress free will and forgeting the love. As we seen through un-polarized eyes, the Dark Forces want our attention. From the standpoint of love, Love is the parent and free will is the child. Free will is birthed from love but love encompasses much more. Remember apply love with free will and you have a solution. Remember love is the way, love is the key to our universe. It is the glue to heal all wounds.

What is the City of Shamballa's future? Well it will last as long as I live, if not longer once a future business structure is formed to continue paying the hosting fees and domain name renewals. The City of Shamballa is making efforts to extend spiritual knowledge and initiation to global audiences worldwide. The Earth Gate, a story of a human turned master who comes back to save Humanity from Dark Forces to allow it to ascend, is getting distributed. The Earth Gate is coming out as an Audiobook soon. I have begun marketing the Earth Gate to Hollywood. If a movie comes out, a massive flood of new members will join. Be prepared for a global awakening.

Free Will Spheres

I have been contemplating this recently, as several events have been happening for me this week. I had some wake up calls that reminded me that sometimes spirit has to find the easiest way around the mind and allow it to flow like water around the rocks.

We live on Earth so do not be dismayed when others do not accept your views or ways.

Earth is a density that is further from Source than other densities. It is more dense because it is further away from Light. The Light, The Source is all encompassing Love, and enormous oneness, a "glue of the universe". This Light cannot be mistaken or "copied" by other shapeshifting false ones. The key element is encompassing Love. You know you belong and you feel it and you are drawn to the Light, propelled there. There is no mind involvement in the process, it is spirit attracted to Spirit. It is. And you sense it.

Anyway, this encompassing Love and Light birthed our realm and it densified as it grew further away from Source as part of Source's quest for experience (veiled characters making veiled choices through space and time as opposed to the expansive time/space/all knowing that the rest of Source's experience is.

Anyway within this "choice" realm we are birthed into bodies and subjected to free will. We have the choice to freely choose our path and so do others have their choice. We build free will spheres which attract thoughts and feelings from the Earth sphere. This hardens our connection to Spirit. This is our veil. Free will is our veil and it is enforced by the mind. The more we surrender to Divine Will the more we expand. The Love is out there, between our free will spheres. It glues and connects our reality. Everything is connected and the Love is there. While in our free will world understand that you allow others to make their choices and they allow you to make your choice. Remember everything is connected and that a ripple effect exists.

Do not be dismayed when others around you do not understand. It is their free will to want to understand. If they have not answered their spirit's call or it is not their time, do not worry. They have been born into different experience.

Ok, you may ask yourself, Chris can you please translate this into something more concrete?

Yes, faith, love, forgiveness, generosity, compassion, humility, service, peace are your keys to the encompassing Light. Follow those and know you are supported in the heavenly realms by many.

Ok, how does this apply to the battered rough realm of physical Earth?

Apply those here. If a war is happening, help the refugees. Provide food and shelter to those in need. Provide clothes, medical care etc etc. Forgive those who harm others. Comfort the afflicted. Don't take sides, stand for love. Stand for peace. If you are peace then the ripple will support you in return.

While on Earth, the path is narrow. It is true, it is hard because we each have a mind. Just remember when faced with your choice: apply faith, love, forgiveness, generosity, compassion, humility, service, peace. The Universe will naturally support you even if your mind does not believe it. These qualities are in your spirit and as you practice these on earth, they are driven into your unconscious, so others will feel your love. You become the Heaven on Earth you came here to be. That is why you are here. To bring your spirit to Earth and let spirit flow through your experience. At the end of the day, you did what you came here to be. All encompassing love.

The City of Shamballa website was temporarily down

On September 10th the City of Shamballa website was temporarily down for 4 hours due to the domain name provider Go Daddy being temporarily down. Here is what happened: According to one source speaking to ZDNet, GoDaddy's DNS servers are not resolving forcing many websites offline. In many cases, even if the site is not hosted by GoDaddy itself, the DNS servers are down and cannot point the user to the correct page. Some parts of the website appeared to be working again at 4 p.m. ET. At just after 6 p.m. ET, GoDaddy said in a tweet that it was "still working" on the ongoing issues and that the firm was "making progress." Source http://www.zdnet.com/anonymous-hacker-claims-godaddy-attack-outage-hits-millions-7000003925/ Last night I sent Reiki to the situation and invoked AA Michael and the warrior angels to resolve this perfectly for the highest good of all. I checked today and City of Shamballa is back up! Thanks to the Divine for helping Go Daddy! Namaste.

Some good news

The good news is finally all of the proofs of the Earth Gate paperbacks have been ordered (Hardcover, 6 x 9 paperback, A5 paperback, massmarket paperback and pocket size paperback). Once I receive them, they will undergo intensive review prior to going to retailers. Also The Earth Gate ebooks are available on Kindle and at NOOK and iTunes. Also there are 1440 members in the City of Shamballa. Also renewed some of the websites pointing to the City of Shamballa and its Amazon Bookstore. Working on getting an Audiobook created for the Earth Gate book. Stay tuned.
