Spiritual Awakening: Self Inquiry and the multidimensional Self
by Kiara Windrider
My journey into deeper presence has included a wider understanding of the many aspects of our multidimensional self. In our descent into 3rd dimensional human incarnation, many identities formed at various stages along the way.
In the very beginning of all things, the Unmanifest One chose to manifest. And so It manifested as a field of being, consciousness, and energy. Before there was a concept of anything, this field pervaded everything. There was no awareness of time yet, no dimensions of space or matter, simply this vast universal presence aware of itself as itself, what the ancient seers of India referred to as Brahman, the ?I that I eternally AM.? This universal presence found outer expression as individualized presence, as individualized I AM, or Atman. Although distinct from Brahman, Atman was not separate from Brahman. Atman is also known as the Monad.
This is where our journey begins. Monad sought expression. Vehicles were created for its expression. Various planes or dimensions were created for these vehicles to explore. And so we began to externalize ourselves, eventually creating a universe in space and time, seeding it with infinite possibilities of expression, and creating forms for ourselves to interact with other forms.
In our journey of descent, our primary identity of pure I AM Presence began to create reflections of itself that were capable of responding more directly to the planes and dimensions we traveled through. Some of these reflections were human, others cetacean, others angelic, others devic or elemental. There are innumerable such reflections within the starry universe. And so, along the way, one such stream of divine expres-sion created an oversoul consciousness of humanness, which later individuated further into human soul consciousness.
There was constant communication between these aspects of Self. Brahman and Atman were not separate. Atman and soul were holographic reflections of each other. Atman, or the I AM, existed before the creation of time and is eternally self-existent. Soul was created after the division of time and space, and therefore was able to orient itself in the worlds of form. In the realms of soul, the causal planes, time is not yet a linear construction as it is in the physical planes, and so soul found itself able to simultaneously explore worlds and realms in a multitude of times and spaces at once.
In order to deepen our experience of any one of these simultaneous possibilities, we created personalities. We endowed these personalities with mind and emotion, drawn from the mental and emotional planes. Descending still further, we formed bodies of denser matter?that these personalities could express through in interaction with other personalities. We incarnated as souls within these personalities to explore the worlds of form.
Our awareness of ourselves continued to extend into the realm of personality. As fifth dimensional beings, we remained unified with the aspects of us that existed as soul, oversoul, and monad. We too were imbued with creator consciousness. We continued creating new worlds and possibilities with unified intent.
As we descended into fourth dimensional form, the diversity and multiplicity of our expression continued to grow. At this point we merged identity with another stream of oversoul consciousness, known as the devic or elemental kingdoms. Just as the focus of the human kingdom was to develop personality through mental and emotional expression, the purpose of the devic kingdom was to play in the worlds of form, creating an infinite variety of lifeforms in the physical realms.
The Elohim are part of the devic realm. Their job was to create planets. A hierarchy of devas was established to cover different orders of creation. The nature spirits are specialized devas under the guidance of the nature god, Pan, that are responsible for creating the many vehicles for life available for souls to inhabit.
There was a devic stream responsible for the creation of human bodies. As we merged with this stream, we found ourselves fully embodied within fourth dimensional human bodies. The devic consciousness within the body remained unified with all the other aspects of self through the entire line of descent from the Original Source. Our DNA reflected this unification. At that time our DNA is believed to have comprised 12 strands, instead of two, as it does now. Each of the original 12 strands included two strands from each of the planes we had traveled through. Thus there were two strands connected to each of the etheric, emotional, mental, intuitional, causal, and atmic planes, making a total of 12 strands. Operating as a unified 12-strand DNA field, our bodies were capable of attuning to the vibrational qualities of each of these planes and dimensions.
The tragedy of the Fall to the third dimension was the fragmentation that took place within this unified sense of self. The body was experienced as separate from the personality, which in turn was experienced as separate from the soul. Access to the higher frequencies of oversoul and monad was completely cut off. As the stream of devic or elemental awareness separated from the stream of human personality, a split was created within our bodies. The body elemental took charge of the autonomic functions, such as regulating the heartbeat, maintaining hormonal balance, and all the multitude of things that go on in our bodies all the time without our conscious participation. The personality maintained control of the voluntary functions.
As we dropped to a lower vibrational frequency, known commonly as the physical planes or 3-D, our DNA fragmented as well. The two strands of DNA on the etheric planes dropped down into the frequency of the physical plane and became effectively cut off from the remaining strands of DNA, thus cutting off our access to those planes. Our journey back into 4-D includes the reconstruction of our spiritual genetics, as we return to 12-stranded DNA consciousness.
There is another center of identity we need to become aware of. This is the ?dreamself,? also known as the luminous body, or the etheric self. This is an aspect of ourselves that can facilitate communication on non-conscious levels between these split off parts of ourselves. The dreamself is also used by shamans when they access non-ordinary states of consciousness. It is capable of traveling interdimensionally, and imprints itself with any information required from any level of reality. To the extent that we are linked with our dreamself we can access this information consciously.
To summarize, there are many aspects of ourselves that were once unified and will be so again. These include the monad, soul, personality, dreamself, and elemental. To the extent that we are aligned with all these aspects of ourselves, we open to higher and higher levels of love and truth. In early 2001, during an enlightenment intensive, I found myself in a state of profound Unity consciousness in which my personal sense of self merged with the I AM Presence for a period of time. The following commentary was written from this perspective once I was able to think and write in linear terms:
Beloved child of light, I AM the Father. I AM the Great Spirit. You have asked yourself many a time, ?Who am I?? and I would like to respond in ways that will make it easier for you to experience this directly. As you speak of me, my, and mine, you usually identify with the personality, or waking self, and all of the roles, memories, beliefs, and expectations generated by your personality within a given incarnation. It is a center of identity held in the emotional body and fed by the lower mental body.
Your permanent identity is the soul. It is self-existent, and operates outside of linear time. It is superconscious, and is linked with every other individual consciousness. The soul exists beyond the realm of duality. It is a center of identity held in the causal body.
Then there is the elemental. You might call this a subconscious self, although it is subconscious only in relationship to the waking self. In truth, the body elemental is a highly developed consciousness, intricately connected to the biological form, and directly attuned to all devic consciousness on the planet. It is a center of identity held in the physical-etheric body.
The dreamself is a center of identity held in the astral body. It is a messenger, able to project aspects of itself into each of the other identities in order to bring all these selves into alignment. It needs to be consciously created, shaped, and refined. When adequately developed, the dreamself can function in close rapport with the waking self, allowing for shamanic access to the ?upper? and ?lower? worlds, and providing the ability to shapeshift through various dimensional realities. When fully developed it creates a light body to merge with the physical body. In dolphins and whales, because of the holographic nature of their brains, the dreamself is merged with the waking self. The submerged and surface minds are one.
And finally, there is the Monad, Atman, I AM, or God-Self. This is the ultimate reality of being, beyond qualities and attributes, beyond dimensionality and causality. It is the indwelling Source and creator of all the various aspects of self and their respective bodies, realms, and dimensions. Atman, as individualized God-Self, is intimately linked with Brahman, or universal God-Self.
For the most part, these centers of identity have separate functions and are entities unto themselves. They co-exist together during an incarnation?not always very harmoniously?then separate and follow their own evolution separately at death. Unless, that is, an incarnated being has succeeded in unifying all these identities within him or her self as an ascended -master.
The human brain is capable of accessing and unifying all these identities. Each of them is associated with a corresponding state of consciousness:
Elemental - alpha frequencies - threshold consciousness
Personality - beta frequencies - waking consciousness
Dreamself- theta frequencies - dreaming consciousness
Soul - delta frequencies - deep sleep consciousness
Monad - deep delta - lucid, or turiya consciousness
For most people the brain is locked into a certain narrow range, corresponding with beta frequencies.?This can be shifted. Don Juan refers to this as a shifting of the ?assemblage point,? or the Second Attention. Once the brain can begin to access and experience all five of these states of consciousness, unification can begin. The five frequencies can be brought into a harmonic resonance so that their corresponding centers of identity can act as a functional unity. When this ?harmonic convergence? takes place, unity is experienced both within the self and in communion with all there is throughout the universes.
Much research is being done with sound frequencies at this time to stimulate brain states. The ancient yogic practice of working with inner sound frequencies, known as the ?sound current,? is useful here. The sound current acts as a tuning device, as it were, to bring your identities into resonance. (A guided meditation on the sound current is explored in Chapter 25.)
Notice that each identity is associated with a field of energy that shapes and informs it (gives it form). The elemental is fed from the etheric planes, the dreamself from the astral planes. The personality is fed from the emotional and mental planes, while the soul is fed from the intuitional and causal planes that hold the sacred geometries and possibilities for all creation. The Monad relates to the atmic planes, yet it is beyond forms and planes altogether. The Akashic Records are to be found in the etheric planes. The bardos and various shamanic worlds and dimensions are of the astral planes. Each of these planes is composed of inferior as well as superior worlds.
The soul-infused personality is attuned to the higher mental or intuitional realms, whereby the materially oriented personality is attuned only to the lower mental realms, which correspond largely to the conditioned thoughtforms of mass consciousness. The brain receives this as chatter or confusion, and stimulates emotions based and rooted in fear and constriction. This in turn stimulates the structuring of the physical body from the coarse ethers, while leaving the dreambody relatively unformed and feeble.
Thus you find that there is resonance between the various identity structures when each operates within the highest frequencies available within its respective field of governance. When the identity structures fall into the lower ranges of their governing planes, the various identities are effectively cut off from each other. The path of ascension mastery is therefore about refining each of these identities to vibrate at their highest levels so they can unify.
When the personality first begins to surrender to soul, it is the beginning of the First Soul Initiation. As the dreamself begins to also link in, the initiate takes the Second Initiation. The Third Initiation is marked by a complete fusion between soul and personality, and the beginning of conscious alignment with the elemental. At the Fourth Initiation, there is now a complete fusion with the dreamself. The Fifth Initiation is marked by a complete fusion with the monad as a God-realized personality. At the Sixth Initiation of ascension, the elemental is completely fused with the God-infused personality, and we experience full enlightenment within the body.
Do you see that your Inner Teacher, your monadic consciousness, is linked with, and one with, all intelligence in the universe? All the kingdoms of the Earth, Gaia herself, the ascended masters, star nations, even the Universal Logos, are all connected? In a very real sense, you are all gods. Your acts of devotion to God, then, could be directed toward all beings. Love is what God is.
So go and love, beloved child of light, and concern yourself not whether it is a tree, the face of a human lover, the ground beneath you, the stars above, or your own body. Concern yourself not whether you call this God or Great Spirit, Allah or Beloved. God is all there IS, inner and outer, great and small, visible and invisible, devic, human, angelic, rock, or animal. Say, ?I love you, God,? and feel the emanation of love expressed towards all the universes in each moment of your existence. Feel at the same time how God loves you, and receive that love from all the universes. This raises your frequencies, until in the convergence of your identities you become a fully realized God-conscious being. An ascended master is one who is conscious of all planes, all identities, all beings, in a unified state of awareness.
