The articles in this collection take a close look at the differences between life on Earth and life elsewhere in the cosmos—different kinds of relationships, different meanings for “freedom,” a different sense of space and time, different ways to converse, different energies, even a different “physics.” Understanding those differences can help us to understand the meaning of life in the biggest sense of the word.

Relationships…

… on Earth and in Spirit Are Worlds Apart (Human Story 17)

This article explores relationships throughout the cosmos—how spirits get along with each other, how extraterrestrials get along with each other, and how we Earth-dwellers get along with each other… and how all of us (spirits, ETs, people…) get along with each other when our paths happen to cross. Let’s keep it simple.

Earth Relationships

Complicated. Scientists study complex relationships that are biological (within the same community), ecological (between a species and its environment), and symbiotic (between members of different species), and the types of relationships in all three cases are similar. Novelists and script writers sort through hundreds of personality types to create character relationships in a story. Academics boil things down to, say, five big personality traits or 16 Myers-Briggs personality types that shape relationships.  But comprehensive assessments like those are too complicated for this article. Instead…

Here are six fairly common kinds of people we encounter or hear about:

Guiding lights, friends, jokesters, hooligans, bullies, and scoundrels.

Simple. This is not a comprehensive list (like those mentioned above)—just a small cross-section that suits the needs of this article. Most of us would probably be classified as a “friend”… though I suspect we humans all have little seeds of all of those six traits (and lots more) built into our biology to help us survive on Planet Earth.

• Guiding lights on Earth are honest, wise, kind, and trustworthy people. They only want to help and support those around them. Sensitive people often feel safe and revitalized in their presence.
• Friends are well-meaning people whom we get along with. We generally trust them despite their occasional mistakes that cause hurt feelings, which they later regret.
• Jokesters enjoy dichotomy and practical jokes that cause distress or pain. They might be fun to be with, but it’s hard to really trust them because we’re not sure what to expect.
• Hooligans are a rowdy bunch who cause troubles for others.
• Bullies hurt and intimidate people.
• Scoundrels are mean, deceptive, and dangerous.

So, in a nutshell, we can get a general sense of relationships on Earth just by observing (or imagining) how these six types of people get along together, or not.

As far as relationships throughout the cosmos? I’ve come to the firm belief that relationships almost everywhere develop out of the first two character-types—guiding lights and friends. The other four character-types show up only in unruly physical worlds like ours. (There are some exceptions—unsavory spirits and ETs who seem fascinated by our rollercoaster world—which we’ll also consider in a moment.)

Let’s see if the evidence supports the notion that guiding lights and friends are the cosmic standard, and the other four character-types only appear in rowdy worlds like ours.

But first, as a natural segue from Earth relationships to spirit-world relationships, let’s glimpse the life of Jesus.

Why Jesus Couldn’t Lead a Perfect Life on Earth

Jesus apparently came to rowdy Earth from the finest realms of spirit, and His lifetime is a testament to the fact that the dichotomy can be, well, full of surprises.

According to holy texts, Jesus-son-of-Joseph was born in the Middle East as a highly refined soul with a built-in conscious connection to the source. With that conscious God-connection He could espouse ageless wisdom and perform miracles even as a child (though his childhood miracles were impulsive, sometimes playful, sometimes rash, as might be expected of a human child).* As He matured, His wisdom and miracles became more refined and legendary, and He became a guiding light for humanity, reverently known as “The Christ.”

*Historical records (Gospel of Thomas) note that the child Jesus could form little birds out of clay, give them life, and let them fly away. He didn’t suffer bullies and jokesters, making one ornery neighbor boy wither away and die in front of him, and making an abusive teacher fall to the floor dead. His parents, Joseph and Mary, were pressured by their neighbors to do something about their boy! If those accounts are true (and I suspect they are, though they’re often swept under the prayer rug), then it might explain why we humans generally feel isolated or removed from the source (or God). Evidence from India suggests that we humans aren’t allowed to have conscious contact with the source (or Brahman) the way Jesus did, until we’ve matured and purified ourselves of the rowdy compulsions that we all grow up with on Planet Earth. For a typical, temperamental, hormonal human, sudden conscious contact with the source can cause a psychotic break, even death. What does all that mean? Well, let’s take a look….

Spirit Relationships

Spirit relationships are a lot simpler than Earth relationships, but at the same time a lot more elaborate. Here’s how things apparently work at levels 3 through 7 of the cosmos—that vast domain of refined spirits.

Simplicity of spirit: Individuals, worlds, and universes all consist essentially of life-energy emitted by the source, and each entity has a unique vibration. Spirits come together naturally in communities and relationships when they vibrate in harmony with each other. That creates friendships, in the finest sense of the word. Every entity receives whatever streams of consciousness it happens to resonate with at the moment.

The elaborate spirit worlds: Countless universes and dimensions intersect with each other, so there are lots of diverse relationships going on all the time. When spirits from finer realms (closer to the source) meet with spirits in denser realms (farther from the source), the finer spirits (who are friends with each other) are guiding lights for the denser spirits (who are also friends with each other). Translating that to familiar terms: angels or light beings from levels 5, 6, and 7 are guiding lights to the spirits of humans, gnomes, giants, and other diverse friends whom they encounter at levels 3 and 4. All of those refined spirits from levels 3 through 7 can be guiding lights to us friends on Earth at level 1.

Many aspects of self. Everything in the cosmos has many aspects of itself existing at the same time. There’s always an outermost aspect (in our case, a dense human body). Then, lots of subtler aspects become more refined and purified as they extend in-beyond toward the source. (“In-beyond” means they’re all superimposed over each other, existing in finer and finer dimensions.) So, while we’re experiencing a lifetime on Earth, our various spirit aspects are experiencing lives in various spirit worlds, as the diagram suggests. In almost every realm at every level we are a friend among friends, and in some realms we’re also a guiding light. At the very center of it all, we’re the perfect source. All of us, without exception, are one.

Then there are the spirits of a darker nature.

Earth’s Shadow

When we humans feel things like love, inspiration, and good-will, our consciousness is connected to that flourishing ocean of cosmic consciousness (levels 3 through 7). We are friends of the cosmos, and we share in the bounty.

But when we feel things like hatred, frustration, intolerance, deception and guilt—feelings that are not in harmony with the cosmos—then those thoughtforms get stuck around the Earth in a sort of shadow world, since there’s nowhere else for them to go.

So, almost all of us have dark aspects of ourselves—or maybe just bits and pieces of shadowy consciousness—stuck in Earth’s shadow. How prominent our shadow part is depends largely on what type of person we most closely resemble, a…

Guiding light, friend, jokester, hooligan, bully, or scoundrel….

That shadow aspect of ourself becomes part of our “karma” (or behavioral assessment) for this lifetime. It also largely determines our afterlife experience… where our conscious mind “awakens” in the spirit worlds immediately after we die. Most of us awaken in a nice paradise world at level 3 after we die, but even if we happen to awaken in an unsavory shadow world, we always carry within us those finer aspects of ourselves that will eventually lead us all back to the source where we belong.

ET Relationships

There are many species of ETs flourishing in our galaxy. Most of them manage their worlds in peace, prosperity, and good will. They are cultures populated by friends and guiding lights, and many of them employ advanced spacecraft and join peaceful, productive alliances with other civilizations of other worlds… alliances like the Ashtar Galactic Federation.

These galactic alliances have been observing (and sometimes interacting with) our world for countless centuries. They’re responsible for most of the pyramids and other megaliths scattered around the planet, which they created long ago—much earlier than modern science suggests.

Today the ETs can’t form a working relationship with Earth, simply because they don’t resonate with us. They resonate with some of us—those among us who are guiding lights and refined friends with a psychic sensitivity—and they often communicate with those good souls telepathically, providing guidance, support, and good will. Their messages often carry an underlying theme: The ETs look forward to the day when we humans can join their alliances, once we’ve become a peaceful world—a world of friends and guiding lights.

But for now, they mostly just observe our world—with our unruly mix of guiding lights, friends, jokesters, hooligans, bullies, and scoundrels—with hope and concern.

Then there are those disconcerting ETs, like the ones we call “Greys” and “Reptilians,” who get involved with abductions, human-ET crossbreeding, and cattle mutilations. (Those are discussed in the main article.)

Conclusion

When spirits and ETs interact with our world, they’re usually friendly, helpful, and hopeful. Troubled spirits and intrusive ETs are the exception to the rule. The more we can resonate with the finer realms of the cosmos (levels 3 through 7)—especially through practices like meditation and contemplative prayer—the more peace and happiness we enjoy in our lives.

That provides a pretty reliable (if oversimplified) scenario of relationships throughout the cosmos. Lots of evidence by lots of researchers is included in the APPENDIX of the original article.

Freedoms…

… on Earth and in spirit are worlds apart (Worlds Within Worlds 36)

God’s power has granted each of us free will and personal choice as a great gift.
Without free will there is no recognition of truth, which comes from within….
—phone message from The Seven finer beings, received by Maggy Fischbach in 1987

We have two extreme versions of ourselves living at the same time—a physical self (body) and a cosmic self (soul). There are huge differences between the body and soul, and that’s where freedom comes into sharper focus.

If freedom can lead us to truth, as finer beings tell us, and if most of us humans enjoy tremendous bliss and inspiration at various times in our lives, then…

Why Does Freedom on Earth Cause so Many Problems?

Simply because… instead of looking inward (or in-beyond) for the perfect truth that rests at the center of our self, we’re more inclined to search for truth while looking outward into the dramas of our world.

For example, we get stressed…

• When wolves roam freely on our sheep farms (or murderers roam freely in our cities). Predators + freedom = drama = stress.
• When swarms of mosquitos come freely for our blood, or hordes of locusts come for our crops (or swindlers and thieves come for our money). Parasites + freedom = drama = stress.
• When our lawn is taken over freely by weeds (or our friendly, familiar shops on Main Street are driven out of business by a big new chain store on the edge of town, or our chain stores are put out of business by online retailers). Competitors + freedom = drama = stress.

The natural order of life in our world includes some drama and stress, and our bodies and brains are built to contend with some of the deception and conflict that bristle all around us. Occasionally we might even choose to participate in it, for whatever reason.

Solution: We can use meditation or contemplative prayer to start detaching from the drama around us while finding the perfect truth that rests peacefully in-beyond, at the center of our being. The original article (www36) provides a simple technique to do that… heart meditation.

Space and Time…

… on Earth and in Spirit Are Worlds Apart (Philosophy 14)

This philosophical look at space and time is really about dimensions and vibrations…

• how dimensions and vibrations define reality throughout the cosmos,
• why we experience them here on Earth as space and time, and
• how our spirit friends experience dimensions and vibrations differently.

Dimensions

The word “space” can stir up lots of images in our mind. It might make us think of the vast reaches of outer space, the living space in our homes, a parking space, a space between words or musical notes, or so many other things. But science provides the benchmark: space exists in our world as three size dimensions—width, height, and depth… plus a fourth dimension added by Einstein: time.

As a simple demonstration, imagine a ¾-inch ice cube on the kitchen counter. It’s 2cm wide, 2cm high, and 2cm deep. (2 x 2 x 2 = 8.) So the ice cube takes up 8 cubic centimeters (or 8cc) in the three size dimensions of “space.” Then imagine it melting as it moves through the “time” dimension, eventually becoming a puddle of water.

So… 4 dimensions (under the weight of forces like heat and gravity) help to define the reality of our day-to-day, structured world.

How many dimensions are there, really?

String theory scientists look for universal principles that apply to everything beyond our day-to-day world, from the biggest things we can see through optical instruments (stars and galaxies) to the smallest things (subatomic particles). If there are principles that define the behavior of both very big things and very small things, then those principles would give us a unified understanding of our entire universe. Unfortunately, so many peculiar things happen up there among the stars and down there among the particles relating to space and time, that it’s simply impossible to find common ground in a 4-dimensional universe. Only when the string-theory physicists allow for 11 dimensions (10 space-size dimensions plus time) can they start to formulate equations and theories that make sense.

So, the general consensus among string theorists is that our physical universe has 11 dimensions. We can perceive 4 of them, while 7 dimensions remain hidden from view. Only then, when we account for at least 11 dimensions, does our nested physical universe (systems within systems within systems…) seem to make sense.

Note: Our spirit friends apparently agree with the string theorists. The “Timestream” community of spirits told our INIT group (in a computer text in 1996): Space-time consists of eleven dimensions, of which only four can directly be perceived by you. The other seven (compact) dimensions exist and are present in a vanishingly small scale in your universe. They are rolled together to the topological equivalent of light tubes whose diameter lies within quantum limits to determine the size of Planck’s length…. When these tubes “unroll” a little or open (during ITC contacts, for example) the constants are momentarily changed. Also, time ceases to exist. This can occasionally be dangerous.

However…

Throughout the cosmos, dimensions are probably infinite in number. It’s only here in the material realm (level 1) that we’re confined to 4 or 11 dimensions. As long as we accept structure and matter (buildings, galaxies, molecules, ice cubes….) as fundamental aspects of the cosmos, we might not get much deeper into the real multidimensional aspect of things. For that we need to move beyond matter and structure into the realm of waves and vibrations.

Vibrations

Everything in the cosmos is separated from everything else, not by distance and not by time… but by vibration.

A vibrational cosmos, in which everything is jumbled together in the same space, is not an easy thing to visualize, but it helps to imagine how ethereal beings close to the source see it. Apparently, everything—every person, planet, galaxy, and universe—has a unique vibration, and the ethereal beings can perceive those different vibrations, recognizing each as an individual entity.

Then come the hard questions.

• What’s the true nature of those inconceivably complex life-energy vibrations that forge everything?
• Can we measure them?
• How does everything morph from the source (in-beyond of level 7) all the way out-beyond to the fringes of the cosmos, here at level 1?
• Assuming that each entity in the cosmos has a unique vibration, what qualities of their life-energies allow them to resonate with some entities but not with others?

Those are the main questions addressed in the phi-14 article.

Example: The nature of life-energy:
Life-energy in the source seems to be a pure, nonvibrating, living light of infinite potential, containing vitality, consciousness, and pure, positive motivation.
Then, leaving the source, the life-energy starts to vibrate extremely fast, then slower and slower as it spreads out-beyond through the cosmos, creating everything. Everything it creates keeps an inner core of that pure, nonvibrating light as it forms outer layers from the vibrations that become slower and denser. Each of those various vibrating layers (or entities) strives to resonate with other entities, desires to unite and collaborate with them, feels compelled to know the forces of finer vibration within it, and wants more than anything to be one with the perfection of the source at the center of its being (and at the center of the cosmos).

Then we consider the possibility of someday measuring those life-energies (or cosmic energies or “subtle energies”) the way scientists have learned how to measure earthy energies like sound, and universal energies like light… and so on.

.

So, this series of articles has a lot of dizzying information to ponder, but it helps to take a philosophical approach to it all, especially the fact that our lives on Earth (and, indeed, the entire history of the planet) are all rather illusory and fleeting. The greater truth involves the complete wisdom, perfect peace, and undying love that exist in the source that rests at the center of everything… and everyone.

Most important is to understand that simple truth, acknowledge it, adapt it to our lives, and then act accordingly.

Conversations…

… on Earth and in Spirit Are Worlds Apart (ITC 01)

For our spirit friends to contact us through our phones, radios, and computers, certain problems have to be solved first. Let’s look at the solutions, then the challenges and the how-to’s of ITC (instrumental transcommunication) will fall into place along the way.

1. Acknowledge basic communication differences. We on Earth communicate mostly through our five senses with words, pictures, and videos. Spirits communicate silently, mind to mind, exchanging thought impulses. So for ITC, they have to convert their thoughts to words and pictures we’ll understand. They’re telepathic, we’re not.
2. Reawaken our psyche. Nearly all living things in the cosmos communicate telepathically. We humans are among the very rare exceptions. Apparently we’re born telepathic, but most of us lose the skill around age 6, so either we restore the ability for ITC experiments or work with someone who’s psychically gifted. That’s because ITC contacts aren’t simply delivered from the spirit world to our world the way we make a phone call or send an email. They come through a “contact field,” as explained in #4 below.
3. Recognize an ITC aptitude. An ITC aptitude is similar to telepathy. Some people are born with a powerful psyche that can make big, imperceptible changes in their surroundings. As our spirit friends said, “In specially suited experimenters (to whom you wrongly refer as ‘successful’) there  develops a sort of emotional lance in the center of their emotional consciousness which materializes inaudible and invisible tones, signs and pictures in your realm. People are usually born with this particular polarization of consciousness. Others will not get these ITC results, try as they may.”
4. Keep the contact field resonant. An ITC bridge between level 1 (Earth) and level 3 (our afterlife paradise) is called a “contact field.” It’s formed by the collective consciousness of everyone involved in the contact, on both ends of the bridge. ITC contacts like the ones shared in this series are only possible if a resonant contact field is in place. Information coming to our world through that bridge is forged from the collective consciousness at both ends of the bridge.
5. Acknowledge the role of finer beings. We need protection in ITC work because of the negative feelings that we human researchers experience normally in our day-to-day lives. The negative feelings we harbor—envy, skepticism, animosity, resentment—make the contact field murky and unstable, allowing troubled and confused entities from Earth’s shadow to break into the bridge with unsettling messages. Apparently the finer beings—the gatekeepers—can’t simply filter out our negative thoughts in order to keep the bridge stable. They can work closely with troubled researchers to try to inspire them and infuse them with rich life-energy, but if the earthy dramas in the researchers’ lives are all-consuming—a struggling loved one, for example, or personal attacks by colleagues—then even the finer beings are unable to keep the bridge stable, and they close it down until resonance can be restored.
6. Accept the source as the only reality. The source is at the center of everything. The most important thing in ITC—and in life—is to acknowledge the source at the center of our being (also called God, Allah, Brahman, or the principle). It generally shines brilliantly (but invisibly) in the area around the heart. The best way I know to acknowledge the source and make conscious contact, is heart meditation, which is shared at the end of the series.

Energies…

… on Earth and in Spirit Are Worlds Apart (Light 01)

Potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, longitudinal, transverse, sound, radiant, chemical, gravitational, nuclear, subtle….

So many kinds of energy! To put them all into perspective for this article I had to juggle them until they fell into three neat piles:

• Earthly energy includes sound waves and ocean waves (sometimes called physical or mechanical waves). They travel at various speeds, and they vibrate molecules (and other material things like water) from the outside, by pushing-pulling-pushing-pulling them into wave-like patterns that produce energy.
• Universal energy (better known as electromagnetic energy) includes radio waves, microwaves, light, and X-rays. They carry photons as they travel through the physical universe at the speed of light. They vibrate molecules from the inside, by passing through the atoms, energizing their electrons, and making the molecules vibrate… radiating energy. Photons have a “wave-particle duality,” meaning they can exist as either matter (particles) or energy (waves)… which suggests that they’re at the border of the spirit realms, where matter ceases to exist.
• Cosmic energy (what I like to call “life-energy”), is the essence of the source that manifests everything in the cosmos. The various forms of life-energy travel instantaneously through all dimensions and universes and vibrate other life-energies. They don’t seem to vibrate matter, though—at least not easily—since matter and its particles only exist (or seem to exist) in dense physical universes like ours, where life-energies apparently get deformed or deflected to a large degree… somehow.

Maybe it’s possible to understand and measure all of these energies in familiar ways—for example by their amplitude, wavelength, and frequency.

In any case, energy (and existence itself) seems to be mostly about waves and vibrations.

Well, with one major exception: Pure life-energy (I believe) has a wavelength of zero and a frequency of infinity. That pure, nonvibrating, immeasurable life-energy exists only in the source that’s at the center of everything, creating and sustaining the entire cosmos.

This article (#01) takes a close look at all those energies, speculating on how we might better understand life-energy nowadays thanks to our knowledge of light, sound, and other familiar energies… and vice versa: how our understanding of life-energy might be able to teach science a thing or two 🙂 about the familiar energies of our world. 

.

Physics…

… on Earth and in Spirit Are Worlds Apart (Terra 08)

Physics on Earth is built largely around matter, energy, space, time, and gravity… and how they affect and comprise everything we can perceive in our material universe, from the very small (subatomic particles) to the very large (galaxies).

Scientific principles at the edge of the frontier include quantum physics, string theory, emergence, entanglement, non-locality, dark matter/energy, gravity (the perennial mystery), and black holes. Together they suggest that Terra is just one of many physical and spiritual worlds—many versions of each other—that are superimposed over each other, sharing the same “space” at this particular “time.” In a nutshell:

• String theory suggests that quantum particles have copies of themselves (waves of different vibration in a sort of multidimensional string) in as many as 7 parallel (superimposed) dimensions.
• According to quantum theory, when two particles become entangled, they share certain physical properties and behaviors even when far apart from each other, suggesting that things are conjoined when they are “spiritually” resonant.
• Non-locality is based on the phenomenon that waves and particles can change when we simply observe them, suggesting that life-energy (the consciousness of the observer) is a creative force.
• Some 95 percent of our material universe consists of dark energy and dark matter, simply meaning that we can’t perceive it. Hence the word “dark.” So most of reality is beyond our perception and understanding.
• Gravity defies certain natural laws that apply to the other three basic forces (electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force), and it seems to originate from somewhere beyond our material universe, a place where the laws of earthly physics don’t apply. Gravity is the weakest of the four fundamental forces here on Earth, but it’s so inconceivably strong along the borders of a black hole that it bends time and space.
• Black holes (again, “black” simply means they’re beyond our perception and understanding) suggest that there’s a vast cosmos of other universes (which probably exist beyond time and space in subtle, superimposed realms), and those parallel universes exert a constant pull on the structures and energies of our universe, beckoning them in-beyond toward those finer realms.

Understanding those realities at the frontiers of earthly science might someday give us a better understanding of the spiritual composition of the cosmos.

A subtler “perfect physics” throughout the living cosmos seems to operate on simpler principles that are based largely on life-energy (or consciousness) and resonance. As I see it…

• Life-energy in its purest form is the perfect, nonvibrating essence of the source that creates and nourishes everything everywhere with vitality, purpose, truth, love and other motivating forces that we might call “perfect consciousness.”
• As it leaves the source, the life-energy begins to devolve—vibrating slower and slower—as it moves into denser realms that become increasingly complicated and illusory. In other words, the perfect consciousness of the source becomes imperfect as living things adapt to their worlds and universes.
• Again, life-energy (or consciousness), whether perfect or imperfect, is the primary force that creates, shapes, and nourishes everything throughout the cosmos, for better or worse.
• Resonance occurs among entities when they vibrate in harmony with each other’s consciousness, wherever they happen to be in the cosmos, whatever attitudes happen to be wrapped up in the consciousness in that particular world at that level… as told to us in a (very faint, unfortunately) spirit communication through a radio receiver in 1994:

• Everything in the cosmos knows innately—somewhere deep within—that the more we can resonate with perfect consciousness of the source, the more we’ll enjoy vitality, purpose, truth, and love. Everything yearns to realize its oneness with the source and to forge a conscious connection.

.

Those summaries give a pretty good taste of the differences between life on Earth and life throughout most of the cosmos… the differences between our short lives as physical beings and our eternal lives as spiritual beings.

God…

… on Earth and God in Spirit Are Worlds Apart (Out There #06)

According to other-worldly revelations (shared in Appendix 2)…

 Understanding the cosmic source that we call “God” comes naturally to spirits living in the finest realms (levels 5 through 7). To be alive is to be one with God… very simple, very true.

But here on Earth (level 1) we’ve forgotten about our intimacy with God, so we have to be reminded… especially by our religions.

How did we forget God? Early in life, our five senses took control of our conscious mind and flooded it with impressions of the noisy, flashy material world, and our innate understanding of God got buried deep in our subconscious mind.

How do religions remind us? All five major religions today acknowledge one God and could be considered “monotheistic,” despite a semantical glitch (that we explore in Appendix 1 after the article).

The different religions call the source:

• God (Christianity) 
• Allah (Islam) 
• Yahweh or YHWH (Judaism)
• Brahman or AUM (Hinduism)
• Universal Life Force or Nirvana (Buddhism)

When we dig to the core of all the major religions, we find that our religions agree with the finest spiritual beings in their understanding of God. First, a look at how bright beings beyond the Earth understand God.

Finer Spirits Understand God Clearly

Our INIT group received mind-boggling messages from refined spirits in the 1990s—communications that streamed into our world through computers, phones, radios, and TVs. After this article there are several of those contacts in Appendix 2. I highlighted the parts that describe God from their elevated point of view. I consider those contacts to be extremely accurate and reliable.

Meanwhile, here are a few excerpts that give us a good sense of how some of the brightest minds in the cosmos understand the source, or God, in terms we can understand:

1. the highest principle of life
2. the ultimate reality
3. the everything
4. a limitless entity
5. absolute unity
6. the absolute, limitless, all-encompassing cosmos.

Religions Understand God Clearly

At the core of every major religion there’s a simple collection of pure, comprehensive qualities of God that are not so different from the ones above:

1. Creative: the ultimate creator of the cosmos and all living things (or, more accurately, the central, creative force that is spread throughout the cosmos.)
2. Omnipresent: present everywhere at all times.
3. Omnipotent: possessing unlimited power to create and regulate the cosmos.
4. Omniscient: aware of everything in the cosmos, past, present, and future.
5. Transcendent and immanent: present and active within the cosmos, although beyond human comprehension.
6. Ultimate reality:  the fundamental truth behind the physical world and everything else.

So, God’s apparent role in the vast cosmos is to be and to provide the perfect, pure life-energy filled with infinite knowledge and vitality which becomes—which is—the cosmos… the “all-that-is.” Very simple… and at the same time infinitely complex.

Then, light beings and energy beings at levels 5, 6, and 7 begin to devise that life-energy (adjust its vibration) to shape and monitor the countless, superimposed dimensions, universes, and worlds that make up the cosmos. It’s all done by enormous power of thought. They apparently include the ones that our religions recognize as archangels and super deities. There are untold trillions of those light and energy beings that would probably look to us like coherent clouds of powerful consciousness… or balls of infinitely rich living light… or brilliant, multidimensional runcics.

So, this is apparently the “top-level management structure” of the cosmos:

• A source or God provides (or is) all of the raw material (in the form of pure, nonvibrating life-energy) that creates and sustains the entire cosmos. Then…
• Light beings and energy beings devise and use that rich life-energy (start it vibrating at different densities) to do the planning, organizing, and implementation of the structures and behaviors of all the dimensions, universes, and worlds.

Religions Also Embellish God

We humans like to clean up and dress nicely, wash and brush the family dog, decorate our homes, and so on…. It’s human nature to embellish things, including our understanding of God. Religious scholars down through the ages have described God and the finest spirits in ways that people can relate to, even if those embellishments start to veer away from the core. Here are some of the ways we’ve embellished the source to be more like us.

Three Abrahamic or western religions

• God/Allah/Yahweh revealed himself to Abraham.
• God/Allah/Yahweh is the source of ethical laws like the Ten Commandments, the Five Pillars, and halal/haram teachings (rules of right and wrong).
• God/Allah/Yahweh takes a personal interest in human affairs.
• Humans are made in God’s image.

Christianity

Note: While it’s well documented (and I have no doubt) that Jesus was an exceptional soul—a highly refined spirit—who chose a lifetime on Earth to help and support humanity, his lifetime experiences and his relationship with God have been embellished since his death:

• Just and judgmental: God punishes sin
• Merciful: God offers grace and pardon through faith in Jesus Christ
• Trinity: God is one being made up of three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit… in which “the Father” is God, the creator and sustainer.
• “The Son” is Jesus Christ, who became human and died to take on the punishment for human sins
• “The Holy Spirit” is God’s power and presence in the world (often symbolized as a dove)
• Revelation: God reveals Himself to humans and discloses knowledge and truth
• God reveals Himself through the Bible
• The life of Jesus Christ is considered the greatest revelation of God’s nature

Islam

• Fair, just, and judgmental: Allah judges everyone equally.
• Merciful and forgiving: Allah shows compassion and mercy, and forgives people.
• Controls the afterlife: Allah will resurrect all humans (restore life after they die).

Judaism

• Yahweh is self-determined and can intervene in human affairs, such as by performing miracles or answering prayers.
• Yahweh is a personal God who is faithful to his promises.
• Yahweh is a covenant-keeping God who desires to display his grace, mercy, and wrath (anger or indignation).
• Yahweh interacts with humans and responds to their behavior.
• Yahweh wants to be known as the God who listens to his people and brings about liberation.

Hinduism

• Hindus stick pretty close to the core understanding of God with their concept of Brahman. Embellishments are assigned to their many deities, not to Brahman itself.

Buddhism

• Buddhists also maintain a pretty clear understanding of the source:
• Universal life force is a single, all-pervading life-energy that animates and controls all living things.
• Nirvana is a transcendent state in which there is no suffering, desire, or sense of self. (That might be interpreted as a conscious oneness with the perfect source and its pure, non-vibrating life-energy, which involves detaching from worldly distractions and imperfections.)

Religions Sometimes Falsify God

In extreme cases, religious leaders and their believers try to use God to justify their anti-God behavior (spreading deception, fear, hatred, conquest, and other dark motivations). A few examples:

• “God-fearing” is an oxymoron. There’s nothing about God to stir fear, but everything to stir awe and wonder.
• God taking sides in human conflicts and contests is also a misnomer. Finer spirit throughout the cosmos is repelled by the dramas that we take for granted here on Earth. If people get spiritual support for aggressive or brutal behavior, then it probably comes from dark spirits who are stuck in Earth’s shadow… what The Seven have called “the lower levels of heaven.”
• God preferring one religion over another. Again, competition isn’t one of God’s motivations. Two competing employees, two rival football teams, two proselytizing religions, and other earthy dramas like these have nothing to do with the source, which simply continues to spread love, good will, harmony, and other fine and perfect motivations that we humans can choose to accept or reject as we partake in Earth’s dramas.

So, that’s a condensed look at how God on Earth and God in Spirit are really the same, even if through our embellishments of God they become worlds apart.

Appendix 1: One God (Monotheism)

While the western religions (Christianity, Islam, and Judaism) clearly acknowledge that there is one God who is responsible for the entire cosmos, religious scholars sometimes say that the eastern religions are not “monotheistic.” Buddhists, they say, believe in no God and Hindus believe in many Gods. That’s just a problem of semantics.

• Hinduism also acknowledges one God—Brahman—that’s at the center of everything, and Hindus simply go a step further by naming lots of highly refined beings who emerge from that central source: Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver and Shiva the destroyer… Ganesha, Rama, Hanuman, Lakshmi, Durga, Kali, Saraswati…. These brilliant beings are akin to the many angels and archangels of the three western (Abrahamic) religions.
• Buddhism looks more at the essence of the source (the universal life force, a sort of vitalizing life-energy), rather than regarding the source as a “being” that emits or controls that life-energy—a semantic difference that finer beings also acknowledge.

So, yes, all genuine religions, even Buddhism, believe in the essential nature of the source. (As you read the first message below, note the similarities to Buddhist docetrine.)

Appendix 2: ITC Messages from Finer Beings

ITC or instrumental transcommunication is the use of technologies to get in touch with the worlds of spirit. Pure ITC is the way to get the purest, least filtered information into our world from finer realms. That’s how these messages were delivered to us late last century.

Many of you have a false impression about us. Unfortunately, this is often the case with your mediums, who recognize only part of us. Also, there are a great number of people who claim to have a direct connection to God, Yahweh or Jehovah. Some ITC experimenters believe this. It is not correct. Many Earth people mistakenly perceive God as a person or an individual entity. God is not a person, but the highest principle of life, as well as the absolute reality. He, or it, is the absolute unity and the absolute, unlimited and all-encompassing Universe. As a limitless entity, the universe can never be one of the creative individuals who are numerous in the cosmos. Nor is it tenable that there is a single Son of God for the entire cosmos. Jesus Christ, today a part of Pescator, has never described himself as such. Since God, ultimately, is everything, and everything is God, it makes no difference which religion you belong to. There is only one universal truth which can be found through the path of decency. For those who follow eternal principles, the doors to freedom are open. — Ishkumar, one of The Seven (via computer)

The contacts of spirit beings with earth are only a partial aspect of ITC. They should serve as proof that you will live forever and have a higher calling. Ethereal beings in finer realms are not particularly interested in contacts between dimensions, but they support it because they can bring man closer to the realization of eternal life and the principle or being that you call God, Yahweh or Nirvana. — Technician, one of The Seven (via telephone)

We have often given you the real purpose of ITC contacts: Mankind at the End Time should be led back to the principle. Light and darkness shall unite and form a whole again. What people experience now is not the actual beginning of the apocalypse, but only the first symptoms. — Technician, one of The Seven (via computer)

We also got a description of God from Swejen Salter, who, since her death in 1987 has been the project leader of Timestream Spirit Group, who delivered all of these remarkable messages and images to our world late last century. Swejen here is apparently referring to the physical universe(s) at level 1 in the opening diagram:

God, the Principal, the Creator or whatever else you wish to call him is everywhere. He is in the universe and the universe is in Him. However, the Universe and therefore God are two entities. (The states of) being and non-being. Matter and nonmatter. Scientists have often tried to explain what matter is and I believe I can spare myself another explanation. Nonmatter is not to be compared to anti-matter but is really what we describe as soul or spirit. Every living creature, even an amoeba or a bacillus, has a soul….”  — Swejen Salter, project leader of Timestream (via telephone)
