Projecting your consciousness

The projection of consciousness  

‘The birthplace of success for each person is in his Inner-Consciousness. The Inner-Consciousness will use whatever it is given.’

During my many years of inner work with my subconscious mind I have found at a very deep level, a universe of inter-connected consciousness structured in layers, dimensions or spheres in which we can see and experience reality in different ways.

These levels may not even exist at all as a result of our inability to process this inner universe as a whole. However, this approach of discovering the levels one at a time,  makes us able to deal with it in manageable chunks until we are able to fully awaken and grasp the ‘big picture’ of universal consciousness.

Strictly speaking, this is not astral travelling, but rather a conscious projection of our consciousness to any place in the world or the universe which makes it possible to explore different spheres and dimensions in an attempt to raise our consciousness and build up our psychic energy for world service.

This process is similar to exercising our bodies. Huge amounts of psychic energy are needed to keep focus and control over our inner experiences when working with our consciousness at these deep levels, and moving in-between the different spheres of reality as if it were all only a lucid dream. This effort and practice certainly builds up our psychic ‘muscles’ for even deeper work. .  

Energy portals

’Energy and persistence alter all things.’

Benjamin Franklin

We use visualisation during meditation to create, open and enter ‘doorways’ from one dimension to the next or from one part of the world to another. For the purpose of this article, I will call these multidimensional wormholes energy portals.

As our subconscious can be extended indefinitely in all directions, we use the power of our minds to pass through created doorways or portals to bring about profound shifts in our perception and experiences of reality. Using the analogy of a computer, this would be like keying in different commands in order to pass from one level of the programme to the next.

However, at this level of the mind there are a number of important rules that you must remember:

First, once you begin the exercise, never stop it suddenly, as this could lead to confusion in your subconscious mind and you could become completely disoriented. It is also not a good idea to shift your consciousness rapidly between scenes, as you are working at a very deep level and could also short-circuit your neural pathways.

Second, after creating an energy portal or doorway, you need to keep it in sight, as you will have to pass back through it once again to return to normal consciousness. If you do not do this you could also become confused. As with all imagery, the scene you create should always have a sort of ‘storyline’, a logical beginning and end. In other words, if you visualise yourself in a house passing through a door to another level or even historical time, (yes, you can use this method to travel to other times as well), always see yourself coming back into the house through the same doorway before you return to normal consciousness.

It is easier to keep your eyes closed until you are used to this advanced process. After that you can try to open and close your eyes slowly to allow the images to superimpose themselves on the room in which you are sitting.

Finally, this process can be very demanding on your psychic energy and you need to cut it short if you start feeling drained or weak.

Let me take you through the whole process one step at a time.

You need to activate spontaneous imagery (visualisation) during meditation to move your consciousness around inside your created scene. If you do not know how, please read my article on spontaneous imagery before you tackle this advanced exercise.

          To begin, you need to sit comfortably and enter an altered state of consciousness (meditation), one in which you have the full co-operation (and protection) of your subconscious. The reason for this is that you need to set an intention beforehand that any doorways, stairs or portals you create, will lead to another place or a higher sphere of reality. Your subconscious needs to accept this as a command.  

           Once you have created a suitable scene in your mind, create a doorway or a portal and set an intention as to where it will lead, either a sacred place on the planet or simply a higher level of consciousness and reality.

           In the beginning I would recommend a simple doorway or portal which you intend to pass through into your own backyard. Decide beforehand what form it will take and use the finger of your right hand to trace its framework directly in front of you. Using your breath and blowing slowly helps when creating a portal. See it as a shimmering silver mirror-like frame, as if you were looking up under the water at the surface of a swimming pool.

            Now put your hands out in front of you until you think you can feel the energy on your palms. Using only your mental intention and movements of your hand draw the doorway or portal towards you until it is a meter or two in front of you.

            For this example, set your intention for this portal to lead out into your backyard. At this point you need to let go of the scene and allow it to unfold of its own accord (spontaneous imagery). Now using only your willpower (controlled intention), slowly move the portal towards you and allow it to pass through your body. As it passes through, your imagery should shift and you should begin to see images of your yard.  

            Glance around in your visualisation and try to identify the features of the scene. Note the portal behind you and try not to lose sight of it. Try to move around in the scene, looking through projected ‘eyes’ and using projected hands in front of you. Try to touch the walls and objects you see. If you have been successful, you will actually feel something and notice that the walls or objects can be touched or else your hand will simply pass through them, depending on your intention. If you can see images and ‘feel’ objects in your yard, you have been successful in projecting your consciousness. Well done!

            As soon as you begin to tire, stand with your back to the portal and allow it to pass back through you once again. If you do this properly, your perception should come back into the room and you can exit the meditation to find yourself back in your chair. Always leave the meditation slowly by moving your fingers and feet and returning to normal awareness.

Practice with simple familiar settings before trying to project your consciousness to more exotic locations or higher levels of reality. I have found projecting to sacred sites to be very powerful as you can actually feel the energy. It is as if you were actually there.
