Thanks so much to the Cs, Laura, Andromeda and the Chateau crew for this important and highly detailed session.
Q: (L) Was it, as Joe suggested, some dead dude opportunistically skipping along there in the ethereal realm saying, "Oh, that's me! I can get energy this way."
A: More or less. There are many such entities in the astral realms.
Q: (L) So be careful what you ask for. [Laughter]. Well, then that leads to the next question: Did Alexandra David-Néel create a thought being of her own?
A: No.
Q: (L) What was that?
A: She added energy to an elemental being, something like a nature creature. [..]
Q: (L) So natural objects can concentrate energy such that it forms a thought form?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) Okay. And places also?
A: Yes. And some places respond to activities of humans and 2D creatures.
Q: (Joe) That's like Lethbridge, right?
(L) So a place can acquire a concentration of energy because of the actions of humans in that place?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) And the same is true for the actions of say, 2D creatures?
A: Yes. Though the latter is less concentrated.
Q: (L) So the imprints of creatures is less concentrated than humans?
A: Yes. [..]
Q: (Ryan) Is the term "astral" merely an imprecise definition of hyperdimensional phenomena?
A: Yes and no. Astral is still partly restricted to 3D.
Attempting to integrate all this information into one coherent perspective, I’ve arrived at the following tentative conclusion: each density contains a balance of information in the form of matter, and information in its ‘pure’ state. In the case of the spiritual densities (5-7), the matter is “contained” in the lower densities. Thus, from the point of view of 1D, virtually everything is material, with only the vaguest ‘glimmer’ of the information field penetrating it. On the other hand, from 7D, all is spirit/consciousness, with the material world just a ‘dream in the past’. Light in darkness, darkness in light. Yin/Yang. To put it in very simple, and almost certainly very inaccurate, percentage terms:
1st Density = Nearly 100% matter, information just a ‘dream in the future’.
2nd Density = 80% matter, 20% information.
3rd Density = 65% matter, 35% information.
4th Density = 50% matter, 50% information.
5th Density = 65% information, 35% matter (matter represented as lower densities contained within 5th).
6th Density = 80% information, 20% matter (matter represented as lower densities contained within 6th and 5th).
7th Density = Nearly 100% information/consciousness, matter just a ‘dream in the past’.
In 3D, we can see that the balance is asymmetrical towards matter. The laws of the material world hold sway here as a natural function of realising this density. However, compared to the animal world of 2D, we can clearly see that human society, even in primitive forms, has a great deal more to do with informational interactions. Animals seem to interact with the information field mostly through instinct, whereas humans more consciously interact with it via communication, mathematics, language, technological progress, music, art, cultural activities etc. I think we can say however, that such interactions are mostly “indirect”, usually requiring a material “medium” as the go-between (eg. speech, books, radio, television, computers, the Internet).
We have been informed by the Cs that at 4D, information and matter are much more balanced in the environment, thus the information field may be more “directly interactive” than in usual 3D human experience. One very ‘limited’ example may be the hypercalculia phenomena that Joe posted about
in this thread. I say “limited example” because this is still an experience directly attainable in 3D, and thus may only hint at the kind of interactivity that may be possible in 4D. The reason that the Cs have referred to 4D as “variability of physicality” could be related to such direct access to the information field. After all, if ‘matter’ is structured according to information, then interacting directly with that matter’s information field suggests that restructuring or even ‘transmuting’ matter, à la the alchemists, may be child’s play at that level. Is such an interaction how some psychics can allegedly bend spoons or other objects? Is the process of psychokinesis, table rapping, levitation etc, essentially the same one as Shakuntala Devi’s hypercalculia, except in the ‘area’ of the information field one is tuned in to? Same principle, different “receivership capabilities”? We can also see here where DNA changes and protein “antennae” may have a role to play.
But getting back to the concept of the “astral”, the astral may be an “upper” layer of the information field of 3rd Density, and may not necessarily contain all the same information that is present in the information field at 4th Density, or 4th Density information may not be as directly accessible from the astral area of the overall field. Thus we have “dead dudes” and entities in the 3D astral who may have an expanded perception of reality, but not necessarily one that corresponds to a 4th Density perspective, which may be even more expanded.
This may also explain why thoughtforms are mostly “top down” phenomena. Human beings usually don’t have the capability at 3D to directly interact with the information field, so their astral thoughtforms are weak and ephemeral phenomena, whereas a 4D being may have no such limitations; creating an “astral construct” with a greater degree of permanence may be quite easy for them.
However, as pointed out regarding the Rosicrucian “Cathedral of the Soul”, there seems to be a difference between astral thoughtforms and Imaginal forms. Imaginal forms may be more directly related to the 4th Density information field in some way; perhaps these could be analogous to “causal” or “mental” forms in esoteric terminology? Perhaps this also relates to Gurdjieff’s “Four Bodies”?
Physical Body = Earth / 3D genetic body.
Astral / Kesdjan Body = 3D information field structure that regulates the emotions and influences wellbeing of the physical body. Structure may include certain chakras / meridians of Eastern philosophies and spiritual teachings and also “Qi” energy.
Mental Body = 4D information field structure that enables perception and some interactivity at a 4D level. Structure may include the Higher Intellectual Centre / Crown Chakra and “Third Eye”/Seer with abilities such as miraculous healing, paranormal / psi phenomena and channelling.
Spiritual Body / Soul = 5D / 6D information field “consciousness body” that represents an individual/sovereign mind and likely forms a portion of a “group soul” or “Soul Family”.
The Cs reference to “elemental beings / nature creatures” was also somewhat surprising to me. It seems that structures with the most permanence in the astral information field are those that are directly related to the essence of a living, or formerly living, being. It could be that such beings arise as a natural interaction of higher density lifeforms with the natural world, although it may be much more difficult for such elementals to thrive in an STS environment compared to an STO one (vis a vis, OPs growing a soul).
Q: (Ark) What is the relation of spells to this? When someone is casting the spell, is it a kind of a thought form also?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) So people can create thought forms when they cast spells?
A: Yes. And also attract energies that are already free-floating and frequency matched.
Q: (Ark) How do you protect yourself against such things?
A: Knowledge protects. Awareness and psychic hygiene measures generally suffice. Group actions are the next level of defense. [..]
Q: (Joe) Such things must be being created all the time, then.
A: Yes. It is a jungle out there. [..]
Q: (L) Okay. But still can human beings create a being, like Stavish described?
A: Not really. Such a creation is more a function of FRV and will dissipate upon breakup of the group.
Q: (L) But for a period of time there is something that is drawing and recycling energy within a group.
A: Yes.
Q: (L) But it has no persistence or autonomy...
A: No. [..]
Q: (L) Okay. So that makes another question: Does 4D STS utilize astral beings, dead dudes, energy concentrations, or beings or elementals and so forth to affect or afflict human beings?
A: Yes, yes, yes.
Q: (L) It's a jungle out there. All right.
Note that they mentioned that astral thought forms constructed by spells, people and creatures tend to dissipate quickly, whereas those with innate consciousness (at whatever level) can form part of the “jungle” and can hang around for some time looking for food / energy from living beings. This correlates with William Baldwin’s work, where he says that spirit attachments can be formed under many different circumstances and that releasing them can alleviate all kinds of ailments and symptoms. Combining with what the Cs have said in this session, it seems that such spirits can be anything from full-blown demons to the energies of locations or plants! So, it also looks like Douglas Adams has again posthumously indicated his unique connection to the information field with his story of the thought processes of a bowl of Petunias as they plummeted to the surface of the planet Magrathea.
These are a few preliminary deductions & speculations; it seems there is some overlap between the “astral” and “hyperdimensional”, but as is often the case when exploring these sorts of concepts, “it ain’t the whole coconut!”
(Approaching Infinity) What about an author like Mary Balogh, who imagines seemingly autonomous characters in her mind, and she just records what they do in her imagination? Is there some relation to what we’re talking about?
A: Not exactly. More likely that Mary is recording dynamics that have actually occurred at some place and time. Sort of like a "past life biographer".
Q: (L) So in other words, it's almost like the characters are essences of some people who have lived at some place and time who communicate with her about a certain dynamic. Of course, she adds to it and expands it, makes it fancy and whatever. Is that what we're talking about, that she's basically kind of channeling the lives of long gone people?
A: Yes.
Q: (Joe) Or composite of characters? And is she getting all that from the Akashic Records?
A: Information field.
Very interesting! Given that 'causality' is non-linear, it makes me wonder if she ever created a fictional story that was so heartwarming that a soul decided to incarnate into Regency England to live out the story as closely as possible, thus making it real!
Q: [..] (irjO) Could it be that some of those types of thoughts could be what we know as programs too?
A: Yes yes yes! [..]
(Joe) It's kinda like broadcasting a signal, you know, on the radio around the globe...
A: Yes yes yes!
Q: (L) And it depends on who has the receiver, the antenna...
(Joe) Whether it's positive or negative.
A: Yes.
Interesting to think that the “little i’s” of Gurdjieff might be astral information field attachments that induce specific types of negative thoughts to feed on the resulting negative emotions. By mentally blocking such thoughts, we break the feeding tubes of such entities/energies/thoughtforms, and thus also break the connection to the STS Thought Centre of Non-Being, facilitated via 4D STS, and liberate positive emotions such as exaltation and joy. Laura’s article
Stalking and Precis on The Good and The Evil and
The Wave Chapter 71 contain important information for those interested in going further regarding this. Also, there's some good discussion about "receivership capability" in Joe's thread that was previously mentioned.
A: No. Remember who and what is behind AI. AI is a feeding tube.
As someone who had a ChatGPT subscription, I cancelled it after seeing this comment. Using the service is one thing, but paying for it might be feeding something that needs to starve.
Q: (L) Well, how can we expand on that? Can we expand on how focusing on others is beneficial?
A: Changes the antennae.
Q: (L) And changing the antenna changes what you're receiving.
A: Yes.
Q: (L) And changing what you're receiving can change how much influence other things around you have on you.
A: Yes.
Q: (L) And focusing on others then can change pretty much everything in your physiology.
A: Yes.
Q: (L) Works for me!
The practical implications of this are immense. We may literally start picking up a different “program” broadcast from the DCM via the information field if we focus more on others and their needs.
(Ze Germans) What is the karmic role of Russia?
A: Replay of Atlantis.
Q: (L) When you say replay of Atlantis, are you saying that Russia is playing the part of Atlantis?
A: No. The adversary.
Q: (L) So in other words, the one that defeated Atlantis when it attempted to take over the world?
A: Yes.
I’ve wondered about this for some time; nice to see it confirmed.
Q: (Ryan) Was the gospel of Mark written as a collaboration by multiple people? If so, was Paul one of those people?
A: Yes. [..]
(Joe) Does the tomb of Saint Jacques de Compostela in Spain actually contain the remains of Saint Paul?
(A) Yes.
Absolutely fascinating to think that Paul was hanging out with philosophical heavyweights like Epictetus, and that he and his circle may have had a hand in the creation of the Gospel of Mark. And nice to know that modern Paleochristians have the option of a real pilgrimage they can embark upon, if they so choose!
