Freedom From Us

Freedom from ‘us’ is the freedom to truly be. Psychologically we are like a well-worn deck of cards. And some cards are more worn because we play them all the time. It’s a flat horizontal system. Over time, we study ourselves and learn our habits of mind, heart and body. This is like fanning out […]

The Flexibility Needed for Consciousness

What can we do in our inner work to achieve an open flexibility towards consciousness? It is true that… *..Developing sequentially our “being”… *..Watching the “I’s” springing from each part of our four lower energy centers…    *..Connecting our will to our “heart of hearts”… *..Eliminating any negativity from our “queens”, “kings” and “jacks”… *..Surpassing our inner “steward” and following our awaken soul’s […]

Time and Eternity, the sixth dimension, Alette Matei

Time, Eternity, and the Sixth Dimension

The fifth dimension is an endless line or loop of time, and the sixth a cube or sphere of all moments. This sixth dimension contains all choices, spreading out and infinitely repeating in eternity.

Really, we are all time travelers, and our physical bodies are the time machines that we so badly want to invent.
