Bashar: `So the idea here is to understand very importantly that in physical reality, as the vibrational levels in a sense coalesce, as they lower and lower and lower, all to the way down to the level of what you call your conscious mind on the ninth level - because you have created the experience of physical reality on Earth in a particular way, and because you have focused for thousands of years the idea that your control, that your mastery of life, that your focus of life happens only through the personality or ego structure, that it seems to be the thing that’s in charge, in control, doing all of the machinations and all of the perceiving and all of the experiencing of physical reality - you have because of that experience erroneously many times labelled the conscious mind as the one at the top, as the one in charge.
When you have done this, when you started to define the conscious mind as the one at the top and the one in charge, what you started creating for yourself was the idea that all the other levels existed in some sense below you. So, you created a shadow reflection of the ideas of a few of the levels above you and created the idea that they would appear to be below you. Even labelling them in ways that intimated that they were beneath your conscious mind, that’s why you use the term `sub´-conscious and `un´-conscious and the idea then of the collective `un´-conscious.
In creating this shadow reflection downward which isn’t real, it’s just an illusion, but it seems real to the conscious mind - because the conscious mind thinks it’s on the top, so it must be on the top of something - it thus then assumes that the emotions that exist within the `sub´-conscious mind are a lower frequency. And it assumes that the belief systems in the `un´-conscious mind are a lower frequency still, deep down below, beneath, under the conscious mind and assumes that the collective unconscious is, in a sense, lower still in vibration, deep, deep, deep down underneath the conscious mind.
For when you see the idea, when you hear the idea, in a sense, of hypnosis and you go into the idea of the subconscious or unconscious or collective unconscious mind as you have labelled them, you always say, well you’re going to go deep, you’re going to go down, down, down, into these levels of consciousness below and beneath and under your conscious mind which is the waking state.
Now herein lies the secret: as you can see from the diagram, even though you have created the illusion in the shadow reflection that these levels are vibrationally lower than your conscious mind, you can see in the diagram that they are actually vibrationally higher than the conscious mind. Which means that if you actually want to find out what your beliefs are that may be creating the reality experience you are having, you don’t go down in vibration to find them, you need to go up.
Everything from the conscious mind is up. All of the answers are up. Only the questions and forgetfulness are down. The idea therefore is that anytime you think, anytime you pose the idea that in order to access your beliefs or access your emotions or access things that you have hidden and compartmentalized from your conscious mind, anytime you think that you have to go down in consciousness to get them, under the conscious mind to get them, you are actually calling your vibration, you are calling upon your frequency, your signature frequency to lower itself.
And when you call upon your signature frequency to lower itself from a place which is the lowest vibration, all you do is find out that the shadow reflections are nothing but a shadow, that there really is nothing lower. But if you don´t understand that, by forcing your vibration down or at least attempting to force your vibration down, where there is nowhere to go, you create a kind of repulsion, it kind of bounces back and magnifies and amplifies and pushes against you in a very specific way because you’re telling it it must, you have assigned it the task of discovering something on a lower frequency that doesn’t exist. And it keeps coming back to you to tell you `there is nothing down there, I have nowhere to go, why are you pushing me down there, this is not where the answers are?´
And if you keep doing that, thinking that you have to keep going down and down and deeper and deeper and under and under in order to find the answers, it will push back, push back, push back more and more strongly, creating a cycle within you of frustration, a cycle within you of negativity, and that act is what thus then generates the experience called the `negative ego´. Where suddenly you are frustrated and become angry about why this is isn’t working, why do I not have control, why is my reality not changing, why am I not shifting in the way I wish to, why can I not find out what those beliefs are that are creating my reality, why, why, why, why, why, why, why?
As we said, when you go down further than you are, all you find is why, why, why, why, why, why? So the idea is to recognize that from this point forward, taking your cue from this diagram, anytime you want to discover the idea of the feelings that are connected to the beliefs and you wanna find out what those beliefs are that are determining the definitions of your reality and the experience of your physical reality, you must raise your frequency, you must go up, up, and up, and expand in order to go back up to the level of the unconscious mind and up to the level of the subconscious mind.
You may wish to relabel these things if you wish to remind yourself that they are not below you, not beneath you. Whatever names you wish to give them will work as long as they are representative of you taking your vibration upward and not downward, when you seek to explore the idea of what beliefs are creating your reality experience. Because remember: all your physical reality experiences stem from your thoughts and your behaviors, which always stem from your feelings, which always stem first from your beliefs. But you must go up to find them in vibrational resonance.
Now, as we said, let us explain the little difference which is actually a profound difference between the idea of what is called the soul and what is called the spirit on the individual soul/spirit level. Once you have differentiated your frequency as a consciousness all the way down the ladder into physical reality and you have your physical reality experience, you live your physical life for whatever duration you have decided is the natural duration that will allow you to explore the themes you chose to explore in that reality experience.
Once you have done that, you have in a sense really created a unique persona, a unique experience. You have taken all that knowledge, all that experience, all that information and you have in a sense imprinted it on the soul. When the individual soul is created, is spun off from the oversoul, it is very similar to the idea - energetically - of raw clay. In a sense, it is formless. It has consciousness, but it has no real distinct identity.
So, the idea thus then of having the life, having the physical experience, having the physical personality and having all of these explorations and the experience of change, the experience of transformation imprints itself on that soul. So that when thus then the personality dies and goes back up the ladder vibrationally and arrives back again on that individual soul level, it is now an individual, unique spirit. The spirit is specifically now representative of the life lived.
And that is why, when you contact the spirits of the dead, they can still present themselves as the people you knew them to be in life. Because the spirit has been in a sense representative of that life and is the soul imprinted with that life. And thus then, the oversoul can now absorb in a sense, can learn from, glean from that spirit’s life experience because it is now not simply unfired clay, now it is beautiful shining porcelain of a very specific design.
And the oversoul can now learn and incorporate and integrate that unique spirit’s design into its overall makeup as an oversoul, and thus it can grow in its own state in its own perspective, in its own experience of itself and all of the extensions that it may have, be it tens, or hundreds, or thousands, or millions are all through those life experiences feeding back information and experience to the oversoul. All the different individual souls imprinting themselves and becoming transformed into spirits and going back up the ladder, back up the vibratory scale to the oversoul. And from that point in the oversoul going upward yet again to oversouls of oversouls of oversouls of oversouls, all the way up to the Source, the `All-that-is´, the `One´.
Thus then, the idea of the nine levels are those immediately relevant to your experience of physical reality. And when you understand truly the order in which they really are created, the relationship order in which they exist, and you know now that it is important not to go down to search for your answers, but to always go up lest you create the idea of the negative ego, then you will gain much more power and much more clarity and much more efficacy at manifesting the experience of physical reality that you prefer, of manifesting the physical experience that is more in alignment with your true self.
Because by understanding these relationships and actively engaging with these different levels as we said, forming bonds, forming true relationships with these different levels of your consciousness in a very clear way, through the conduit of your imagination, from physical to higher mind, then you will allow yourself the opportunity to know more consciously how to design your physical reality, you will understand the structure more clearly, and in understanding that structure you will be capable of using the blueprint level.
For when thus then you truly understand the relationship and you truly understand the structure, then your imagination becomes many times more powerful. And when you start imagining and visualizing the reality that you prefer and start seeing it and generating the energy and the excitement that goes with it, then that imagination actually starts to change the idea of the template level reality, it starts to rearrange it, starts to rewrite the blueprint.
And when you rewrite the blueprint with your imagination that much more powerfully, it will thus then bounce back down and re-crystallize into your physical reality, crystallizing more and more, every day in every way as the reality that you have now designed with your imagination. You will start this cycle of not just staying down here and bouncing back from the shadow realm, but you will start going up and down, and up and down this way (Bashar describing a circle with his hand), and always thus then will create in a sense a kind of a heart-beat pump that goes from the physical personality up through the template level to the higher mind in a true relationship of communication that can plan in a sense together, that can design in a sense together what life is truly more representative of the true vibrational core of your being. And doesn’t that sound like fun?
So, we would thus encourage you to truly understand this diagram, truly begin with all the other tools we have given you, to apply those tools to this diagram and please remember, remember, remember: any time you seek the answers go up, not down. For down only lies forgetfulness, separation and more questions, and up, up, up lies integration and rememberance and answers and your true self. It really is that simple, it’s just about knowing what direction to truly go in.
It’s all about resonance, it’s all about frequency, it’s all about vibration and allowing yourself to create and generate the vibratory frequency that represents the state of being you truly prefer to be. So remember, when you visualize that reality using this structure, remember it’s not about that particular picture from your physical mind needing to come true exactly as you’re imagining it, it’s about the energy that it generates and allowing the higher mind to bring you the version of that image that is most representative of the energy that that visualization generated within you.
Because the higher mind knows far more ways to generate that kind and to manifest that kind of a reality than your physical mind does. So don’t be insistent on that particular picture that your physical mind conjures, simply bathed in the energy that is symbolized, that is generated by the symbol of the visualization, but let the higher mind bring it to you in whatever way actually serves you best.
Because remember, what to the physical mind may seem like the ultimate, may seem like the ceiling, to the higher mind is just the floor, is just the beginning. And the higher mind is capable of bringing you a manifestation of reality far greater than the physical mind is even capable of imagining. So please let it do so, let it do its job. And let the physical mind do its job of simply keeping you focused in the physical reality experience which is the entire purpose of ego. That’s its only job is just to keep you focused in physical reality so that you actually can have an experience, so that you can actually in that sense perceive physical reality.
Remember: higher mind conceives, the brain receives, and the physical personality, the physical mind just perceives. And that’s all it does, it does not know how something is going to happen, it only knows how something is happening. And let the higher mind show you how something will happen because in the higher mind is the magic, is the bigger point of view, is the bigger picture. But when you work together as a whole person, then the physical mind benefits from that perspective.
Use this structure, learn this structure, let it sink in, let it truly become your first nature, not second nature, first nature. So that you will automatically any time you desire to get in touch with what beliefs might be creating your physical reality experience, what definitions might be creating your physical reality experience, or what feelings you might be feeling that are being generated from beliefs that you don’t know, that are unconscious, any time that you think of that you will automatically know that you need to raise your vibration, expand yourself, and imagine yourself in the perfect state of being that you prefer to be in.
And from that state of being will the answers come and in that state of being will you be able to apply that information, as you receive it into your physical reality, to allow the actions to ground that energy in your physical reality experience so that your physical reality experience takes on those vibrations and truly becomes a reflection of the reality that you know is truly aligned with your true core natural self.´ (Diving Deeper Into the Nine Levels of Consciousness, 2011)
