Downloading Spirit's first year of blogging.

My blog began at the beginning of 2011.  The subjects I have discussed have been written about and extrapolated on in my book Downloading Spirit.

The blog's purpose is to give you a taste of the book in the hope you will want to read it and tell your friends about it.

The purpose of Downloading Spirit is to communicate what goes on behind the facade of consciousness.

The early blogs talked about our aura or electro magnetic field, vibrations, frequency, the Law of Attraction, and energy.  They discussed totem animals and the archetypal energy they represent for us.

In November, Ahau and the Ancestors were introduced, together with the responsibilities of being self conscious, walking our talk and waking up to our soul consciousness.

I put forward my belief that our archetypal energies represented by our totem animals, inherited through our ancestors in our DNA, and experienced by us through our cellular memories and sub personalities, were indeed the non physical conscious aspects of our soul, our soul mates.

It seemed necessary to explain a little of how these aspects of consciousness manage to communicate with us and move into us so we can express the knowledge they convey to us.

To do this I put forward some of my thoughts on Spin.

In the first December blog I mentioned that Adrian had started Postcard Diary on Facebook and asked you to visit it and support him in this endeavour.  Again I ask this favour of you.

This event caused me to explain a little of how and why I became interested in consciousness.

I talked about our emotional, mental and spiritual consciousness and how information enters through our electro magnetic field and chakras via our meridians and para sympathetic nervous system to be absorbed into the consciousness of our physical body.

We need not fear our emotions ... it is our emotion that creates our passion, and it is our passion that drives us to create a better life and world.  We do need to understand our emotions and manage them effectively.

In a nutshell, we are an electro magnetic field of different frequency layers.  These layers each contain an archetypal energetic aspect, or sub personality, of our total self. That total self is our soul.  We, the self conscious physical person, are for the most part unaware of the rest of our selves.  We're even a bit frightened of them, and don't want to meet them again.  We're a bit like a sleepwalker caught in a physical body, whose self conscious person is too frightened to leave.

It's time to wake up and understand how powerful and extraordinary each of us is.

Amazing events happened in 2011.  One man set himself alight and self immolated in his passionate protest against inequality, discrimination and a system of tyranny.  His name was Mohamed Bouazizi.  Truly he walked through his fear.  In doing this he empowered millions to walk through their fear.

He has changed our world so much that Time's Person of the Year is The Protestor.

Even in the USA protestors march on Wall Street against greed and corruption.

Everywhere people want a better world.

Such is the power of one who walks through their fear.

Possibly, most people, regardless of their religious faith, join in the spirit of giving gifts at Christmas because Christmas is more than just religious.  Christ was not born on Christmas Day.  Some sources place the date between March 28 to May 20, while others somewhere around the end of September.  This fact is recorded in the New Testament (Luke 2:1 to 2:8 and Revelation 12:1-2).

December 25 was adopted as a day to celebrate the birth of Christ as a Christian substitute to the Roman festival Saturnalia in the third century.  Saturnalia was celebrated as the Feast of Sun and was actually considered the birth date of the Sun God.

It is the Pagan time of the solstice, the coming of light.

May light and love return to our world.

Christmas, for me, is more a celebration of a consciousness, an inherent belief in all mankind that love and peace will come to all people here on Earth.  

Downloading Spirit has been written to help people understand their enormous power and potential which will be experienced every time we walk through our fear, and act with love.

Let's walk our talk, show our compassion and strength, unite our heart and our brain and create a better world.

My book is about me trying to communicate the Shape of My Heart, who I am and why I'm here.

This is a song by Sting and the Shape of his Heart:-

With love we can change our world.

Downloading Spirit will be published in 2012.

We can change our world to be a better place.

In my last post I spoke about our two different types of intelligence, our mental and our emotional.  I commented that these are what drive us to create our physical reality. 

Our mental intelligence helps us solve the physical problems of the creation, but it is the emotional intelligence generated from our heart that creates the passion, the desire to make something happen.

The inspiration for this post came in the form of a series of "Chinese Whispers" from a friend to a friend to a friend.  The "whisper" was this Youtube video of Gregg Braden.  In this video he talks about the role of our heart, and how it is the most powerful electro magnetic field in our body.  His theory is not dissimilar from mine and he also backs up what he says with science.

While I spoke of our total personal electro magnetic field, he speaks of our heart's powerful electro magnetic field.  But then, it is really our heart that is at the core of our motivation, our passion, and this is what truly drives us to create in our physical world.  It is our heart that is at the core of our being.

If we "walk our talk" (Nov. 12. blog) , if we live and express what we are passionate about, we create a template or a mould, to which the energy of the Spirit relating to that passion, is attracted.  This aspect of Spirit is then able to condense that energy into the mould, and mirror what we are passionate about.  In this way our dream is created and made real in this world.

It doesn't matter what the dream is, we can make it happen.
Our thoughts are real.

This energy originates in the fourth dimensional, non physical area of our world and moves into the physical because of our passion.  These non physical emotions are the interface that communicates to our brain the best way in which we can create what we imagine. We take the blueprint of our imagination and create a physical reality.

It wouldn't happen without our passion, without our emotions and feelings.
These emotions and feelings can be both positive and negative, just like our electro magnetic field.

Often we're frightened of our feelings and emotions for this reason.  This can lead to us suppressing or denying our feelings.  In turn this leads to blockages which sooner or later need to be released.  So often this release is not helpful, and indeed leads to more problems and sometimes even incidents that we label bad.  It can even cause physical illness.

Learning to work with our feelings and emotions, even if they seem negative, enables us to channel them into positive expression.  We don't need to be frightened of our emotions.  Even  anger can be channelled constructively.

Acknowledging that a feeling exists, means we can then understand the reason for its existence.  Then, it's possible to resolve the cause without damage or pain.

If we change our way of behaving from a negative or passive/aggressive response to an assertive interaction, the person or situation with which we're coping, will also change.  It's always a change for the better, because the fear driven reactive behaviours have been replaced with considerate and caring behaviours. Immediately, we have a calmer environment, more conducive to meaningful communication.

If every person does this, we can not only change and improve our own life, we can change our whole world to a better place.

From where does Passion spring?

Well, I knew it was time for the next blog. Today I received a notification on my Facebook site, that Adrian, one of my sons, has set up a new Facebook page called Postcard Diary.

As many of you know, I run a Facebook page on which I post when I've written a new blog for this site.

Well today I'm going to link Adrian's Postcard Diary to this site.  Postcard Diary

I hope you'll all visit it and give him support and feedback.  

I'll be posting on my wall to notify when there's a new Postcard, so if you post a comments on my wall, could you please just click onto Postcard Diary and leave the comments there as well.  

He's enjoying your comments immensely.

I first became consciously interested in consciousness because Adrian, my eldest son, was born profoundly deaf and with Asperger's Syndrome.

I started a Psychology degree at Macquarie University in 1974.  Adrian was 4 at the time and I was trying to teach him to speak.  I'd realised that his brain worked very differently.  At that time I thought it was because, being born deaf, he'd never heard language.  That was part of it, but when he was 25 and his Asperger's was diagnosed, I realised that it was much more.

I spent 2 years at Macquarie before I dropped out due to family pressures and workload.  In that time my desire to understand consciousness and how it has developed in humanity had become a passion.

So how does all my talk about electro magnetic fields, spin, frequency, vibration and Ahau and the ancestors, relate to Downloading Spirit and my exploration of consciousness.

Let's consider what consciousness is.  Is it physical?  I don't think so.  Can we touch it, see, it hear it, in this physical world in which we live?  

No, not physically, we can't.  Yet we do not doubt it's existence.  We definitely experience it.

We've sort of put it into a box related to our brain and the mental side of our being in this world.  

Now our brain is physical, at least the physical part of it is.  But our thoughts ...

They're a bit like our consciousness and the mental side of us.  They're not physical.

Then there's our emotions and feelings ... they're not physical either.

But these things are real.  We have a mental intelligence and an emotional intelligence.  These make up a large part of who we are consciously.  They create our experience and awareness of being.  

Where are they in our physical body?

It's not as simple as being pigeon holed into our physical brain.

As for our emotions, we even physically feel their impact on different parts of our body; our stomach, our knees, our heart, our skin ... 

From these two different types of intelligence comes the thoughts and motivations that drive us to create our physical reality. 

How does all this happen?

This was the question I found myself asking over and over.

The best answer I've come up with so far, is that all this happens in the different non physical layers of our electro magnetic field that surround our physical body.

How do they get into our body?

I think our body is electrically wired to take in the non physical information of our thoughts, emotions and feelings.  This happens when they are translated through the vibrational interfaces between the layers of our electro magnetic field.  In this way they are reduced to a frequency that can pass into our electro magnetic field's etheric layer, which feeds information into our meridians and para sympathetic nervous system.  This is then absorbed into the consciousness of our physical body.

Indeed, I believe we have more than one brain, more than just 2 strand DNA, but these thoughts are for futures blogs.

To sum up for the moment, I believe our consciousness exists throughout our entire physical and non physical body.  I believe our consciousness, and all it's frequency levels, are what comprise our soul.

Humanity is currently expanding its consciousness and ability to experience these things.

It's all in my book, Downloading Spirit.

I am still waiting to hear from the other 9 publishers to whom I submitted Downloading Spirit.

It's over 2 months now.

I'm giving it 3 months.  If I haven't heard by the end of the year.  I shall self publish and get it out  as soon as possible.

Since seeing Adrian's Postcard Diary now reappearing, I'm even more frustrated with the waiting to see my book published.  

So much of our understanding of non physical consciousness comes from India and the Vedic teachings.  I'll leave you with one more photograph of Adrian's:-
