...........................................................................
It is becoming apparent that all over the world children are being born now who are more advanced, spiritually, than most adults.

Many of these children have psychic or clairvoyant powers. They can see people who their elders and betters say are not there. Their invisible friends are often more important to them than their parents.

Some of the children live simultaneously in full waking consciousness in more than one dimension or reality. Benign extraterrestrials are their confidantes and helpers. They carry clear recollections of past and future lives. They are healers and they are knowers. Some, it is said, are not only human beings, they are simultaneously angels and benign extraterrestrials as well.

Many of these children have strange eyes. Light comes out of them; pale blue light sometimes; directed light. Some of them have very old, wise-looking, deep-seeing eyes. When their brains are scanned, unusual electrical activity is observed. They communicate with each other telepathically.

They are creative. They love animals, flowers, water and crystals. They prefer to wear nothing on their feet. They prefer outdoors to indoors. They loathe the smell of television.

...........................................................................

The New Age children among us are free at the level of spirit. And they feel no fear. They hate the psychology of control and they therefore hate school, they hate religion, and they hate our meat-fixated prescribed diets. Some do not need to eat or drink at all.

The Western educational establishment responds to these children as enemies. They are stigmatised as having behavioural special needs, their approach to life has new disease-names invented for it, and they are drugged stupid with Ritalin and other child-poisons to avoid embarrassing the received orthodoxies of adult normality. Orthodox religion says they are possessed by evil spirits. Dieticians say they will die of malnutrition.

Because the New Age children are free and fearless, they do not hesitate to controvert the control systems they are made victims of. They are not afraid to rebel, to misbehave, to be awkward or disobedient if their personal spaces are invaded by grown-ups or removed by institutions trying to cure them.

Often they do not concentrate in class because they cannot concentrate in class. They are being distracted by psychic experiences. They are doing more important work in the universe next door.

Often they get deeply frustrated with educational tasks which do not require, or applaud, creative thought. They get deeply frustrated when their linguistic creativity is rubbished as being dyslexic, ungrammatical or rude.

Because they feel no fear, they sometimes play truant from school and from home. Because they feel no fear, they sometimes deliberately become pregnant in early puberty to demonstrate their freedom and to exercise their creativity. Because they feel no fear, they sometimes commit suicide if their parents and schools prove to be unsatisfactory nurturers.

These children are here to smash up the system. We need their help and we need their teaching. They are wise beyond our imagining. They will help us to build new systems built on freedom, justice, creativity and sharing. They will teach us how not to feel fear. They will teach us to be free. They are not only the children of the New Age; they are the creators of the New Age.

The benign extraterrestrials who assist human evolution on Earth sometimes talk about the New Age Children. For example, on the 9th July 2008, a Sirian called SaLuSa, speaking on behalf of The Galactic Federation, said:

There will be so much that you want to know once we can meet you, and there will be no lack of communication on our part. We have our plans in full readiness for your enlightenment, and a number of different forms of communication will be used.

We wish to reach as many people as possible even in remote areas, and have the technology to do so. There are also large numbers of illuminated souls that have specifically joined you upon Earth for such an occasion. They are largely amongst your younger people, and they are already aware of their mission.

They have the eyes with which to see where Man has gone wrong, but more importantly the answers to put it right. Take notice of your young people as many are speaking words of wisdom. They are advanced souls who have come from the higher levels where your destiny lies. The Earth has little to teach them, and they bring great love and compassion to lead you out of the dark into the Light ....

Picture: Textbox - Some New Age Children have never lived on this planet before

...........................................................................

In March 2012, Sharon Rose, on her Walk the Earth as a Living Master website, addressed the issue of the New Age Children, their spiritual status in human evolutionary change, and how spiritually conscious adults might help them in their mission. Here are some of the comments which she and her colleagues on the spiritual planes offered:

Some of the glorious children who are presently on your Earth have never lived on your planet before or have only been on Earth a few times.

They were trained on the inner planes as were each of you before your soul's first embodiment to understand how to use their third dimensional senses, mind and body. They were also taught that sound, color and certain geometric formations are constantly being projected out of their etheric being every time they think or speak, and that these thoughts and feelings then move into manifestation.

These etheric emanations are generally not seen or heard since it would make life on the third dimension very complex for the majority of humankind. Even the new children are only seeing as much as they can assimilate while they are still learning how to coordinate their lives and their bodies using their third and fourth dimensional senses.

As they move into more of their multidimensionality, a great number of these new children will be acknowledged as geniuses, mostly in the arts and sciences. Since their pre-separation Divine DNA is often activated, their presence in the world is a major part of stimulating this potential opening in other children and adults.

...........................................................................
Picture: Textbox - New Age Children are not limited by past programming.

...........................................................................

Because they have so little third dimensional history, they are not limited by the painful programming from the past. Instead, they have the pure delight of seeing the world in its paradise emanations.

When children are young, their actions are directed by their intuitive knowingness rather than by their rational minds. Children are always delighted to remind adults how to be more spontaneous. However, instead of this being seen as a positive thing, it is often viewed as being a threat to the adults' authority over the child.

Some adults unknowingly instil fear by making the child believe that their behavior is wrong rather than simply a joyous expression of their unbridled spirit. These beliefs can then undermine the spontaneity of the child or, eventually, the super creative inner child of the adult.

Children brought up and taught by spiritually conscious parents and teachers are a vital link to healing the fear-based programming which has continued to perpetuate separation and duality thinking on your Earth.

At the beginning of their lives, most children do not understand what it even feels like to live in fear or separation. They intuitively and instinctively know they want the freedom to simply be themselves. However, if this freedom is not connected with some basic levels of responsibility, then children turn out to be very selfish and narrow in their perspective.

Responsibility can be stimulated within the hearts of children based on their remembering who they are and why they are here, specifically during these times of transition from the old paradigm into the new. Then they will be inspired to be responsible citizens in your world and they will want to support the highest and best in themselves and everyone else.

When being oneself is understood and lived as being their Presence or God Self, then these precious children will keep expanding their ongoing mastery and create fulfilling lives of freedom and joy.

...........................................................................
Picture: Textbox - The New Age Children are a direct link to Source.


...........................................................................
Children are a direct link to Source as they have so recently come from the heavenly realms. You have only to look into a child’s eyes to feel the depth of their connection to Source and to be a witness to the miracle they truly are.

I come forth to encourage you to assist children in remembering their connection with their True Self, and for you to take the time to recognize each child for the immediate service they are providing just by being on Earth at this important time in the evolutionary journey of humanity.

The children who are here now, and those who are still to come, are the spiritual wayshowers of their generation and the next. Bless them as they are blessing you, and surround them in your love whenever possible so they can keep remembering that love is truly who they are.

...........................................................................
Picture: Textbox - These children hold the Golden Age wisdom and keys.


...........................................................................
When you look into the eyes of children it is easy to see the eternal spark of the Divine that resides within each of them, and your heart knows in an instant that these children hold the wisdom and the necessary keys for creating the new Golden Age.

We encourage you to ask the children of all ages who are in your life what they would like to create to bring more love, more joy and more peace into the world during these pivotal times. When you are willing to look upon every child as an advanced soul, these questions become exciting - to you, to the children themselves and to your own inner child.

The innocence and purity of children have allowed many of them to have the strands of their crystalline DNA activated or reactivated. This is assisting them to remember who they are, why they are here, and often where they came from before they arrived on Earth. Knowing this helps them to mature spiritually into more conscious emissaries of Source.

What if children had no subconscious patterning to clear from their parents and ancestors; what if they knew who they were and why they are here on Earth during the present Shift in the Ages? What if that Shift is now well underway and these children are here to be a more active part of assisting humanity in moving through these times victoriously?

Some of the children on your Earth right now are spiritually awakened because they have never been on Earth before and they do not have limiting subconscious programming to overcome.

Ask yourself what you can do to support these children who are here now to create new ways of living on Earth, new ways of relating to each other and new ways of living in a world where everyone is being supported.

Please stay focused and keep inspiring each other and the children with your unconditional love and support. The clearing of your emotional or feeling body, which is directly related to your inner child, is a vital link in keeping you connected with your capacity to create and sustain love and true intimacy within your relationships.

...........................................................................
Picture: Textbox - Your inner child has an indivisible connection with God.


...........................................................................
The inner child has an indivisible connection with the Divine Feminine aspect of your Presence and it is this feminine component of every soul that is the doorway to the heart. All children need to be encouraged to keep this door open because, all too often, it starts closing after they get to Earth.

As the new children remember their Divine inheritance and that they are here to co-create a new Golden Age, they will be much less inclined to get so easily distracted. They will learn sooner, rather than later, that they have a great purpose in being here during your present Shift in the Ages.

Every adult is being invited to help in keeping the door to the heart so wide open that there is no question in the hearts of the children or the inner child of the adults, about where they came from or why they are here on Earth during these magnificent times.

The New Spirituality is what happens
When religion has died.

The New Spirituality is what happens
When no one wants to listen to priests any more.

The New Spirituality is what happens
When everyone is bored to death
With fake salvations.

The New Spirituality is what happens
When scripture is revealed
To be yesterday's tribal artefact.

The New Spirituality is what happens
When the manufactured godlet
Of church superstition
Has been exorcised by healthy laughter.

The New Spirituality starts

When people begin to listen
Beyond the noise,
And trust their own intuitions,
And breathe,
And find the silence.


And connect.

Working with extraterrestrial healers

http://alcuinbramerton.blogspot.com/2006/09/working-with-extraterrestrial-healers.html

All over the world, it is claimed, highly-evolved extraterrestrials are assisting in miraculous human healings.

The ETs are positive in nature and work from other dimensions and
parallel realities,
in collaboration with Earth-based human healers.

In the past, orthodox religion has sometimes thought of these aliens as healing angels.

Adrian Dvir
was a computer engineer, medium, healer and author based in Israel. He died on the 6th June 2004. In a previous incarnation, he had been an extraterrestrial.

Using advanced ET technology which he carried inside his body, Adrian had daily working contact with the healing aliens and knew them well. Clinics he ran are still in operation and are powered, spiritually, by the aliens.

There are hundreds of these alternative transdimensional clinics world-wide, including 469 in the USA, 50 in Israel and others in England, Denmark and Australia. The aliens take the initiative in setting the clinics up.

The alien healers treat humans only if the patients give their full consent. No abductions take place.

Patients feel strange sensations during the healing treatments such as itching, heat or cold, and sensations of an increase or decrease in gravity. During treatment, some patients see and communicate with the extraterrestrial medical teams working with them.

The aliens which work in the medical teams are mostly humanoid in body form, come from a number of different planets and star systems, and vary from 0.5 metres to 4.0 metres in height. More details about the healing aliens can be found here.


Various advanced medical techniques, as yet unknown to orthodox medicine here on Earth, are used by the aliens. One involves removing stem cells from a patient, treating the removed cells so that they become younger, and then reintroducing the rejuvenated stem cells into the diseased organ of the patient. Over a period of months, these younger cells replace the old and diseased cells in the organ and the person is healed.

A video of Adrian Dvir explaining his work and how he came to be contacted by the healing aliens can be watched here.


And a further video of Adrian explaining how his apartment in Rishon le Zion, Israel, was interpenetrated at another dimension by an extraterrestrial hospital, can be viewed here.


An excerpt of one of Adrian Dvir's books can be read here.
In this passage, an alien is speaking about the ET involvement with humans on Earth and the work which they are doing invisibly among us.

The method of communication which Adrian Dvir and his colleagues use to talk to the extraterrestrial healers is a sort of technologically enhanced telepathy. Adrian gives more information about this here.


Other members of Adrian's original team still working with extraterrestrial healers in Israel are Hagai Katz,
Miri Est, Or Hesed, Asnat Gefen-Grizer, Chaya Levy, Uri Gal, Shula Israeli, Tovi Be'ery and Tami Kaly.

Adrian Dvir was also a transdimensional, telepathic artist. Some of his ET-inspired art can be viewed here.


Adrian Dvir's main website is here.
Contact emails and telephone numbers are given on several of the pages.

The idea that God turned stone-silent and stopped talking to the human race a long time ago is false.

The idea that God is angry with the human race and kicked it out of Paradise is false.

The idea that God has set Himself up as judge and jury and will be deciding which members of the human race go to heaven or hell is false.

God loves every human being who ever lived, lives now, or ever will live.

God's desire is for every soul to return to God, and God cannot fail in having this desire fulfilled.

God is separate from nothing, and nothing is separate from God.

There is nothing that God needs, because God is everything there is.

There is nothing outside God.

This is the good news. Everything else is an illusion.

From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.

 
From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ return to Earth.

 
From the center where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men -
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

 
From the center which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out.
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.
 

Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth. 


....................................................................................................


This mantram is called "The Great Invocation." It was first used by The World Teacher in June 1945, at the successful conclusion of the Armageddon conflict.

The World Teacher's name is Maitreya. He is the individual who is referred to as "Christ" in church mythology. Other religions know him by other names. Maitreya is a human being. He is not a religious figure; he is a spiritual teacher.

Armageddon was a multidimensional nexus of military, racial, economic and spiritual conflicts. They took place in the third dimension (the physical plane), the fourth dimension (the astral plane) and the fifth dimension (the mental plane).

The opposing energies were high-vibration light-beings and low-vibration dark-beings. Human beings, both incarnate and discarnate, were active on both sides. Many other non-human entities were involved. Some of these were on-planet and off-planet extraterrestrials.

Seen from the physical plane viewpoint of western linear time, Armageddon began in 1914 and concluded in 1945. The antichrist energies will not now reappear for three thousand years.

A symbol for the New Age

http://alcuinbramerton.blogspot.com/2005/01/symbol-for-new-age.html
Alcuin Bramerton Twitter .. Alcuin Bramerton Medium
Alcuin Bramerton profile ..... Index of blog contents ..... Home .....#1ab



The Lucis Trust has given this symbol some helpful publicity recently. It can be viewed here.

A symbol can be regarded as an energy portal between dimensions. Every veridical symbol has a signature vibration, or sigil. Its signature combines shape, light, sound and scent in a coherent and coordinated manner.

A portal is a person; a self-conscious, intelligent, sentient being of access. A portal exists to assist others in moving their energies between dimensions. Sometimes portals present themselves to elevated human consciousness as visible beings such as angels, travel guides, gatekeepers or threshold guardians.

Symbols and portals can be accessed through spiritual exercises such as visualisation, meditation and dream management.

The New Age symbol featured here has six main visual components superimposed on one another:

(1) A background field of blue
(2) The pale yellow cosmic cross
(3) A gold disc
(4) A bright yellow, upwardly pointing triangle
(5) A blue Bethlehem star (the five pointed star of Christ)
(6) The pale yellow equal-armed cross of the New Age.

The gold disc is spoken of in the ancient Gayatri mantram: "Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual Sun, hidden by a disc of golden light, that we may know the truth."

The cosmic cross, in the specific context of this symbol, is a coded reference to our spiritual seniors on Sirius.

Sirius is a binary star system, 8.7 light years from Earth. It is the brightest star in our sky and is, technically, about forty times more luminous than the sun. Certain of the major pyramids were precisely aligned with Sirius. There is a strong spiritual connection between Earth and Sirius. Many people who have been involved with the spiritual leadership on Earth have been educated, during sleep, at the mystery school on Sirius. More than ever are being taught there now.

There is spiritual work which we can only do when we are awake, and there is spiritual work which we can only do when we are asleep.

In the Harry Potter books, written for New Age children, Hogwarts is a deep metaphoration of the Sirius Mystery School, and platform nine-and-three-quarters is the sleep-gate. The physical plane author of these books may not be aware (in full waking consciousness) of these signifiers.

Foster Bailey's explanation of the esoteric symbology of the New Age symbol featured above can be found on the Lucis Trust website here

The emergence of the transpersonal soul



Transpersonal psychology is the living heartbeat of modern Western spirituality. It is the pulse which is energising New Age Christianity to leave church behind, to move forwards and become free.

It all started for Dr Stanislav Grof, a young Czechoslovak psychiatrist, when he volunteered for an academic LSD experiment in Prague.

Sandoz, a Swiss pharmaceutical company, sent a supply of LSD-25 to the psychiatric department in which he was working. Under carefully controlled scientific conditions, Grof took some of the drug. Something life-changing happened. In his own words, he "had a very profound confrontation with his own unconscious psyche."

The result of the experience was that with Abraham Maslow, he co-founded a new field of scientific research called transpersonal psychology or transpersonal science.

It is important to understand the difference between transpersonal psychology and mainstream fundamentalist psychiatry. Transpersonal psychology understands spirituality to be a healthy and evolutionary manifestation. Mainstream psychiatry argues that spirituality is an indication of psychopathology, religiosity or a lack of education.

The problem of spirituality and mystical experience has always been a challenge for the western psychiatric establishment. Grof comments: "This is an issue, which represents the core difference between traditional psychiatry and transpersonal psychology. Mainstream psychiatry is based upon the Cartesian-Newtonian materialistic world view. This maintains that the history of the universe is basically the history of developing matter. The only thing that really exists is matter and life. Consciousness and intelligence are its accidental and insignificant side-products."

"In this kind of a world view, there is no place for spirituality. To be spiritual means to be uneducated and unacquainted with modern scientific discoveries about the nature of the Universe. It means to be involved in superstition, in primitive or magical thinking. Traditional psychoanalysis explains spirituality as a regression, as a fixation on the infantile stage - a step backwards in development rather than a step forwards."

"In this context, the concept of God is interpreted as a projection of your infantile image of your father to the sky. Interest in religious ritual is seen as analogous to the obsessive-compulsive behavior of a neurotic. It is explained as a regression to the anal stage of libidinal development."

"Here lies the fundamental difference between traditional psychiatry and transpersonal psychology. The latter considers spirituality to be an intrinsic dimension of the human psyche and a critical factor in the universal scheme of things. This conclusion is not some kind of irrational belief or a speculative metaphysical assumption. It is based on systematic study of non-ordinary states of consciousness in which we can have direct experiences of the spiritual dimensions."

"These experiences fall into two distinct categories. In the first one are experiences of the Immanent Divine; they involve direct perception of the unity underlying the world of separation, and a realization that what we experience as material reality is actually a manifestation of creative cosmic energy."

"The second category includes experiences of the Transcendental Divine; here we perceive dimensions of reality that are normally hidden to our senses, such as visions of deities, or archetypal figures (as C.G.Jung would call them), and of various mythological domains."

These views of Dr Stanislav Grof appeared in print in 1996 in the book "
Towards A New World View: Conversations at the Leading Edge" by Russell DiCarlo.

The full text of the conversation between Grof and DiCarlo can be found online under the title "
The Multidimensional Psyche" here.

Astral projection, the soul and the spirit

http://alcuinbramerton.blogspot.com/2005/12/astral-projection-soul-and-spirit.html
Alcuin Bramerton Twitter .. WikiLeaks Master Mirror Sites .. #1ab archive

In astral projection (sometimes called astral travel) the conscious mind leaves the physical body and moves into the astral body.

The individual ceases to consciously experience things in the physical body and experiences them, instead, in the astral body - that is out of the physical body and in the fourth dimension. These experiences, therefore, are sometimes referred to as out-of-body experiences, or heightened states of consciousness.

During astral travel the individual is aware of things encountered on the astral plane and retains a coherent recall of those encounters in various degrees of detail and vividness/vagueness depending, to some extent, upon his personal state of spiritual evolution and training.

In astral projection the individual's astral body remains attached to his physical body by a long, thin, silver cord. Sometimes this cord, or astral umbilicus, can be seen during the out-of-body experience. It is reported that if this cord is severed permanently, the physical body dies.

Sometimes the astral body is described as one of our resurrection bodies. The mental body might be described as another.

Astral projection, out-of-body-experiences and lucid dreams complexly overlap each other in their essential characteristics. They may well represent different paradigms for conceptualising very similar, or even identical, experiences. In each case, the person is asleep, the person is conscious, and the person has the ability to compare his present heightened state of awareness with his "normal" waking state of awareness.

Understanding the nature of conscious experiences which occur during sleep, and learning how to manage and respond to them, is important for spiritual growth. Such understanding and learning is also necessary for engaging in active spiritual work during sleep.

Conscious sleep phenomena have discrete sensory, emotional and mental content which exist in direct subjective awareness while the physical body is "fast asleep" on the bed or in the chair.

It is worth repeating that the vehicle which leaves the physical body during astral projection is the astral body. The astral body is neither the soul nor the spirit.

From our point of view in physical plane waking consciousness, the human being can be thought of as having a tripartite constitution: it has three bits to its makeup. The three bits are the "incarnation module", the soul and the spirit. The incarnation module is itself made up of three components: the physical body, the astral body and the mental body.

Establishment western religiosities are in error in positing a bipartite constitution for the human being.

The physical body has seven levels of organisation within it, of which solid, liquid and gas are the three densest. The other four levels, not yet formally investigated, recognised or taught by western orthodox science, are sometimes referred to as the etheric levels.

The physical body is our vehicle of transport on the physical plane (sometimes called the third dimension); the astral body is our vehicle of transport on the astral plane (sometimes called the fourth dimension), and the mental body is our vehicle of transport on the mental plane (sometimes called the fifth dimension).

Within the incarnation module, the astral body and the mental body (together) are sometimes referred to as the personality. From our point of view in physical plane waking consciousness, it is the incarnation module which comes into being at conception or birth, and which later leaves the physical plane at "death".

The soul is quite different from the human physical, astral and mental bodies. The soul is an individuated expression of the spirit which provides animation for the incarnation module. The incarnation module is a temporary vehicle used by the soul to express itself in the world of matter.

Our spirit is our divine spark, our core star. It is the highest level of our being; it is that part of us which partakes of the divine nature; that part of us which is perfect and infinite; that part of us which has always been, is now, and will always be, one with the being of God.

Spiritual practice, among other things, seeks to align the energies of the incarnation module with those of the soul and the spirit so that the energies of light, love and abundance can be anchored on Earth.

Meditation is a spiritual exercise which seeks to align the physical brain with the soul.

Creator creatrix creation creature

In post-religious Christian spirituality, emphasis is often given to the bigness of the universe and to the bigness of what Western culture calls God. The working assumption is that there is much more of everything than we can possibly imagine.

There are more particles, more dimensions, more parallel realities, more energy-levels, more energy forms, more soul extensions and more multiple personalities than we can comprehend. We catch glimpses of the existential possibilities in dreams and meditations. We experience intuitions of high strangeness when in elevated states of consciousness. But these data are rarely recollected with clarity in our normal waking hours. God, we sense, is a complicated place in which to live.

One of the core ideas of the New Spirituality is the notion that there is nothing outside God. But what does this mean? For example, can we still maintain a useful distinction between what we call the creator and what we understand to be its creation?

Operating from the viewpoint of human waking consciousness in third dimension physicality here on Earth, there seems to be logic in such a distinction. The creation of a watch offers a metaphor. The watchmaker exists before the watch he makes is brought into being. He is therefore separate from the watch he makes. He is separate from it in time. In framing such a distinction, we draw on the Western concept of linear time. This is a codification of distinctions: "Yesterday is categorically different from today"; "That was then, this is now," etc.

However, we also understand that time is a matrix illusion. It is a device which we physical plane humans use, when awake, to order our perception of reality.

But at the higher spiritual levels it seems likely that time does not exist. This may be why it is possible in elevated states of consciousness, such as sometimes experienced in meditation or in lucid dreams, to recall details of both past and future lives. The viewpoint from that elevated higher dimensional perspective indicates no important difference between the past and the present as understood on the physical plane.

With regard to creators, creatrixes, creations and creatures, it is helpful, perhaps, to consider their overlapping essences as they operate at the higher spiritual levels.

The creator of our local universe - a being often called Love - is, by creator standards elsewhere, young, inexperienced, brilliant and mischievous. Love is a child. Indeed, that which we call God was quite brave to allow Love to get his hands on the Lego bricks of creation at all.

So what? Well, down here in the Mystery School we think of as Planet Earth, we are still trying to puzzle out the whole bangshoot. On a bad day the universe looks like the biggest dog's breakfast since the Schleswig-Holstein Question. Most of the Lego bricks seem to be invisible, immaterial or shapeshifting. Or at least they do when we try to perceive them while trapped in waking consciousness.

Part of what Love does is to continually create an ambit of human experience on Earth involving the illusions of physicality and temporality. It is curious. It wants to know what it is like to have the gift of ignorance and not understand these things fully.

But how does the creator think? The thoughts of the creator are the thoughts of its creations. Its creations are a direct aspect of itself processing waking experience on the physical plane. We are the creator's brains; we are the creator's ability to work things out.

The creator, of course, is self-sufficient, but if it is to have extensions of its being in all dimensions and in all parallel realities, which it does infinitely, it must allow those extensions (us) to be their own creators in every way within the system of experience (the local universe) which it has created. Perhaps this is why the New Spirituality these days often talks about humans as being co-creators.

Human beings are portions of the creator completing its experimental and experiential business within Earth-plane physicality. We are like sensory neurones conducting energy data back to the mothership up there, and like motor neurones sending impulses to oil the wheels which squeak down here.

The purpose of created life is experience, change, growth and evolution. Creator and creation together experience change, growth and evolution, and in doing so they become more.

The watchmaker makes the watch. But without the watch, he would not be a watchmaker. Watch and watchmaker are aspects of each other. Neither exists without the other. But together they are creatively engaged in becoming more.
