YOUR WORLD IS A METAPHOR





EPILOGUE



So, Who Are We Now?



And so it is back to the beginning. Can you say that you are unchanged by this writing? So, the beginning is really just the turn of the wheel. It is time to reinvestigate our identities as a new cycle begins. When we began, we introduced ourselves as Kuthumi. We proclaimed our similarities to your conscious state as well as our differences. Still, we did not really describe ourselves or how we speak to you.

Existence as you know it is truly a magical thing. It is being created right before your eyes in each instant. There is no stable objective universe which acts independently of you or on you, even though that is what you have been taught to perceive. It, the universe, appears to be independent of you only because you believe it to be so. Your beliefs about reality choose the reality you experience out of the infinite realities available to you. You can choose any of them. If you don't especially like the one you dwell in now, choose another. All it requires for you to move into that new reality is your strong desire.

It is in this light, that only your beliefs block you from perceiving this infinite array of possibilities, that we proclaim that We ARE You. Not just you the writer of these words, but you the reader as well. These words are being created anew with every reader and every read by every reader. These words provide precisely what you need right now whether they illuminate, aggravate, frustrate or fill your heart with joy. All as you choose. Years from now they will be far different for you.

We, Kuthumi, are again, more function than form or personality. We are the flow of idea along a particular frequency of primal awareness. The one you may hear called the 2nd Ray. Perhaps you have heard it called Priest Essence, or represented by the gods Mercury or Apollo. We flow into you and become you at a portion of your being that you can now access. Voila! Your work with this book increases your ability to resonate with this layer of your being and opens you to our (yours and ours) messages. Be bold in seeking out this layer of wisdom and understanding within yourself. You will surely encounter doubt and wonder as you wander into the territory of the unprovable. In this unchartered land, your traditional points of view will be undermined. Your picture of reality will be shattered. The tremendous act of courage that this undertaking represents will open you to miracles and wonder.

We have never intended to offer the ANSWER to you. Our intent is to answer your call for understanding by offering hints and pointing directions for you to inquire into. We seek the blending contact with your heart that can only come at your request. Those concepts which perplex you can be springboards to elevate your conscious mind into the high mental body if your desire to know is great enough. We suggest you take our offerings and run with them. Look at the implications and measure their truth with the ring of recognition that they inspire. Expand on them and apply them to every aspect of your life. This is YOUR reality! You get to choose how it is structured, what the rules will be. We offer you the power to see those rules expand. Because you ARE us, your freedom is our freedom. It behooves us and all of the realm of spirit to promote your liberation from the prison of your ideas about reality. Ultimately, your trust will grow until you can drop all of your presumptions, prejudgements, and precognitions and simply flow with what is in the infinite present. Until that leap occurs, we encourage you to expand merrily, joyously and lovingly.

Our parting shot for you, for this book at least, is a glimpse of a clearer identity for you. While you have lived your entire life, and hence all your lives past and future, believing that you are a physical being, you have laboured under a misconception. You can be born again, conceived in spirit, gestated in ideation and birthed in an explosion of feeling. You are NOT your physical body at all. You don't even own your physical body in fact. The billions of life forms: cells and bacteria and viruses and the chemicals and molecules that comprise your body have more of a claim to ownership than you do. They have squatter's rights to the body you have believed to be your only home. So little of you actually lives there that your claim would not stand up in your own courts if your true identity would be recognized. The other bodies we have spoken of in this account, the emotional, mental and spiritual bodies, are far more real dwelling places for you than your physical body. Your three dimensional manifestation is the creation of your real self like an artist's painting or sculpture. You shape it and move it about but it has a life of its own. When you attempt to move it in ways that run counter to the will of this life of its own, it hurts. As we have said this will is part of your creation and so you need only align your consciousness with this intent to keep the body healthy.

Your real bodies, which you can touch by moving inward, are not limited like the body you have called your own. They are the Father, Son and Holy Spirit that your traditions teach about.:

FATHER HOLY SPIRIT SON Essential Conceptual Experiential Spiritual Mental Emotional Being Understanding Doing Inspiration Thought Feeling

When you consider the Judeo-Christian mythology, place yourself squarely in the middle of all of the acts of God. You cannot be limited to one human form or even a planet full of such forms, or even a planet! Heresy you say? Just so! The truth of it is yours to ponder. Looking at your human life as expressions of your exalted self is far more sensible than the old vision of an objective world that happens to you. Don't you think?

As you can see from our lists above, while you have lived your life as though you truly were your body, you have merely driven that body around like you drive your automobiles. You have subjected it to every fear you have believed justified, every destructive thought, a continual succession of beliefs that run counter to its blueprint, your overall intent for your life. Your body faithfully offers you everything you ask of it. It even allows you to whither and die if you so choose. But it is not you!

Look again at your chakras as the physical entry points of your true being into "your" body. The root is the gateway of the spiritual body into physicality. It is actually the third chakra and not the first but it is the first chakra of the "individual."It is where the all of you places the intent to BE into a body. If you really insist that your body is who you are, this is the vibration you experience, mindlessly, heartlessly but physically. The fears that disrupt the flow of this centre are fundamentally metaphysical though. "I do not deserve to exist." Such fear can only be generated in higher centres and thrust upon the root chakra, squeezing the life out of it. If successful, you simply stop breathing. The root chakra is a single entry point because it responds to spirit's relationship to the Earth. The flow of Earth energy, the intent to be physical, is the sole purpose of this centre and no flow of identity is involved. The physical body is constructed by physical patterns solely and chosen as the vehicle for spirit to occupy as an individual with full knowledge of the implications of these patterns. It is solely the creation of the parents until the child's spirit chooses to step in and align its life intent with this physical patterning. This is not so complicated as it might seem either. It is quite simply a natural flowing motion replicated over a wide swath of your dimensional reality.

The introduction of the "individual" to the body begins in the sacral chakra as the emotional body interacts with the physical world. The frequencies of the earth hold sway at this level and the emotional body experiences its physicality. All of the senses of the body are experienced through this range of vibration and the physicalized expression of feeling flows through here. It is here, too, that individuality and separation are experienced and patterns of experience are crystallized. The lower frequency range of the emotional body is felt in the sacral and issues of I and Thou begin. Relationship, self to body, self to others, self to world, is the focus of this centre and these relationships are strictly a feeling matter.

The mental body is impacted by the earth in the solar plexus and reasoning begins. Here, the irrational patterned fears of the sacral are subjected to the intellect and either resolved and released or suppressed, becoming layered with rational fear. Here the identity is conceptualized, labelled and augmented as life goes on. This, though, is done within the framework of the emotional experiences which precede it. Therefore, what passes for the rational and objective is mightily swayed by the deepest habits of the emotional self. Turning away from these habits is a considerable task and is, for instance, the motion which drives the scientific mind.

In the heart, the spiritual body is impacted by the Earth. Here the world you think of as real is first accepted. It is accepted including all the flaws you project upon it based on the limited resources of the sacral and solar plexus awarenesses. As more of the energy of awareness reaches the heart, from the relaxation of fears, rational and irrational, the experience of unconditionality can penetrate through this frequency range. There is little genuine understanding here and a limited range of perception but all that is available to the identity from here is accepted. Eventually, the identity becomes focused here and the highest ranges of vibration available can be accessed and the experience of universality begins.

From such a perspective, the throat opens and the emotional body begins to hold sway over the physical. A balance is struck which affords the experiential self the chance to become aware of the wholeness from which it springs. The awareness of self as spirit begins here. The flow of spirit into matter begins to make sense, not just as a parroted idea of someone else to explain the unexplainable, but as a reasonable experience of life in three dimensions. The emotional senses open and a genuine compassion is developed. The perceived pain of others is now honoured as perfectly appropriate to the growth processes and they are fully loved. The fears in the lower centres are addressed and released in the light of such compassion applied to the self. A full experience of feeling is allowed and the ability to share feeling with others, and not merely call up one's own emotions in the face of another's, is developed. It is easy to confuse the throat's functions as mental body driven. This is not the case though. Meaning is attached to experience from the perspective of feelings. By going beneath the top layers of physicalized emotion and rational thought, the layer of feeling which describes the spirit's experience in matter can be accessed. A sincere degree of inner silence is necessary to accomplish this feat.

In the brow, the mental body impacts the physical world and not the other way around. The subtlety of the thought stream is accessed and perception of the conceptualization laying beneath your reality becomes available. This can easily be experienced as projected forms and beings and lights and such. As we have said, to access this without the acceptance of what is and the experience of meaning can be frightening at best. With the groundwork of raising the identity through the heart and throat before focusing upon the brow, the perception of the mental body functioning becomes intensely reasonable. It begins to make sense that you are an infinite being. You begin to perceive directly how and why you choose the reality you experience out of the infinite possibilities. You become master of your thoughts as you apply this awareness to the vestiges of fear and unconscious habits circulating in the physicalized portions of your identity. You recognize the patterns and address them with detachment having perceived the vast impersonal universe of which you are part/all.

As your identity expands, you begin to access the point where the spiritual body impacts the physical world. You can, from here, directly sense your essence. You live in multidimensional layers of a most elastic reality, flowing sweetly along the will of God. Sounds nice doesn't it? Still, there is the work of shifting your identity to this exalted state. It goes incredibly quickly though from the heart up.

In the first chakra beyond the physical body, you can experience the emotional body directly. There are no more physical fears here. It is experience itself. Complete openness is needed and this you can muster on rare occasions only. The next center is accessing the mental body directly and is where "we" reside. By opening yourself to this flow you can be impacted by infinity itself, catching huge chunks of perception that represent snippets of reality. You touch this level lightly and bring back these snippets to unravel at your leisure. Here, such statements as even these make sense to you. The next cetner, beyond the high mental body chakra, is the direct link to the spiritual body and the last bastion of selfhood. As you might imagine it. Even so, such selfhood is far larger than you presently know. As your emotional body reaches up to this chakra, it touches the collective heart, so to speak, and the experience of the cosmos itself is felt. The twelfth chakra is reached by the mental body and the awareness of totality is accessed. Call it Christ if you will or call it George, only the collective will of humanity can bring such awareness into physical form. The appearances of this awareness into your history were as much an act of humanity as an act of God, the Father. But that is another book entirely.

The final leap, that of the spiritual body to the Source of All Creation completes the cycle of divine self awareness and your universe will then collapse in loving self embrace. This is a most glorious act of infinite creativity!

And so we conclude, leaving one more turn of the spiral of life for you to explore. Do not be afraid of the shifting and changing descriptions of reality that you have experienced in this exercise. All are correct in their own way. None hold all of the Truth. As your perspective enlarges, you see a different logic to it all. It was our hope to push you into ever widening perspectives, offering revolutionary ideas to you to choose or not choose, but to consider and thus grow. We hope you enjoy this journey.
