Formless Ideas

My friends, I'm certainly glad that Spiritweb is back on line. For a while there I thought I was being singled out by some glitch.

Xavier, I'm glad you appreciate my writings on the formless worlds. I can tell the concept has got your creative juices flowing.

I didn't get a lot of comment on the subject. Either people were overwhelmed beyond speech or just bored, but whatever the case it is interesting to contemplate for some.

I will give the group another comment here to consider. When contacting the astral world we set aside our consciousness and another consciousness speaks or writes through us.

When contacting the formless worlds (the first plane sometimes called the Buddhic) your regular consciousness is not negated, but stilled. ("Be still and know that I am God"). Your quantums of consciousness are still in full operation, but your ATTENTION is shifted through contemplation (not meditation) to the world of formless ideas.

This world is beyond visualization. You don't see, hear or feel anything, but then the time comes that a point in the Eternal Now is blended with a quantum of your consciousness. At this point you experience a flash of light and you bring down an idea or concept that you fully understand and know through your soul is correct.

This is why Edison did not give up on the light bulb even after 10,000 failures. He knew without doubt that this idea was real and could be clothed in physical form, and would have worked on it until the day he died so believing.

As it is, in our current consciousness, we perceive so little of this higher plane that we do not even desire to go there. After all, who wants to be formless?

To understand, just compare a flower to a human being. In its limited consciousness it takes joy in growing, producing beauty and radiating fragrance. As it radiates and is appreciated by a human life it has a dim sense of serving a higher intelligence. Now this higher intelligence (human) has powers of movement, speech, feeling and mind that are so far beyond the comprehension of the plant that it has no desire to acquire them at this point in time and space. All the flower can do is get a sense, or flash, now and then that such a consciousness is there and that it has something to do with it, but is not sure about the big picture.

We are like flowers or plants in relation to the formless worlds. The more advanced of humanity have some limited contact, but we do not understand the great leaps in freedom and movement and understanding we will have when we are prepared to go there as living consciousness.

How is this practical knowledge? Consider this. Your body is created from one major idea and many minor. Because you are now here in the body, this tells us that your consciousness is in the body. The knowledge of the formless worlds becomes practical when you acquire the ability to still your regular consciousness and shift your attention to the higher life consciousness.

In this higher consciousness you can then see a higher reality about your body. That is, its higher reality is an idea rather than form. When you know this as a fact, here is what you can do. You can then move the idea of your body from where you are now to halfway across the world if you want. After the idea of you body is moved, the physical form will materialize around that idea and you will find you will have physically moved 12,000 or more miles instantly without really moving.

If that possibility does not create interest in the formless worlds, I don't know what will.
