The High Perspective

"In the Beginning" - by Rassouli

A did yet another follow-up Dream-walk for IQ, which resulted in a conversation that left me contemplative for much of the day. We were discussing how we perceived reality and physical life, because we had somehow gotten onto the topic of having one of your self-aspects incarnated at the same time as you... and that topic had me rethinking this new perspective of mine. It brought up a lot of questions whose only answers seem to be "I don't know, because it's too vast for me to understand."

But I felt like I was on to something, so I wanted to explore it a bit. At first, I wondered if "perspective" extends beyond the physical. It's natural to assume it does, but I then thought: isn't perspective affected by personality type, archetypes, ideals, beliefs, and so on? At least here in the physical? I mean, I could compare myself to my family right now... I'm the only one of them all who is so intensely interested in modern/new age spirituality. All my experiences, archetypes, ideals, and so on have allowed me to see the world in different ways. I went from hating the world to loving it; from disliking people with different beliefs to embracing them, and so on. My mother, on the other hand, has stuck with one specific set of beliefs all her life, and thus has seen the world from that one perspective. 

But what is perspective, truly? Is it the sum of all parts here in the physical? To me, it would make sense that the universe or Source energy would have many perspectives. What good would just one perspective be if you're trying to explore, expand, and experience? 

What is it that creates distinction? I used to say it was intention, but now I'm thinking it's perspective. However, I'm now thinking back to that brief period of time when I didn't resonate with the idea of higher self. It would certainly make things less confusing. Where would you draw the line on "who's who," particularly when it came to things like other self-aspects being incarnated or, God forbid, soul connections? In fact, that was another thing I thought about recently... whether "soul connections" are just self-aspects. But see, that creates confusion on identity. If the SC recalled everything relating to your High Perspective, then yes, it'd be easy to say, "Oh, you're a self-aspect." However, if that SC seemed to have its own backstory - so to speak - what would that mean? That it's the projection of another High Perspective? And if so, why the connection at all? 

My answer for that is simple. It's just the technical stuff that confuses me. I guess that's the problem with a perspective that accepts all realities as possible. I imagine if there are distinct High Perspectives, then infinite realities are overlapping and connecting in ways I can't even fathom.

Here's the thing, though. I'm only truly aware of myself as Evaah. Many people are convinced that when they die, they'll be taken up and "move on" to something new and different, as a different being or what have you. But I've been thinking... what if that isn't true at all? How can we "move on" to something when time doesn't exist in spirit? From Andromeda's point of view, lives are always in motion. You can't take away energy from a life if there's no beginning or end. That's a very human-oriented viewpoint... it takes the stance of someone who wants to end his/her suffering here on Earth - not someone who wants to experience life and what it has to offer. 

I thought briefly that perhaps when we die, the cycle repeats itself. At least that would explain why people tend to have the "life review" thing. Maybe the "life review" isn't a review at all... just the cycle repeating itself again. After all, they say it's every thought, every moment, every decision, and so on... living your life all over again. For all we know, this could be the millionth time we've lived this life. Yeah, that seems a bit farfetched, and maybe pointless. But when you think about it, it sorta makes sense in a crazy way. 

Andromeda doesn't see any lives as "ended." It has created a projection - Evaah - to explore a certain arrangement of archetypes, goals, experiences, etc. Andromeda observes through Evaah. It plans every bit of the story and then observes. But just because Evaah dies doesn't mean the story's over. Andromeda still has that book. It can flip back to the beginning and read it all over again, or skip to its favorite parts. The energy of the main character - Evaah - never dies, because it's eternal within the pages of the book. 

Whew. This is getting to be a bit mind-boggling. I should probably give myself a mental break... I'm sure Andromeda will dump all the right words in my head soon enough, like always.

A Journey of Self-Exploration

"Within" - by kaiser-mony @ deviantART

Funny how things are conveniently and coincidentally placed in your path. It's so cool to think about all the things my High Perspective (as I now like to call it) is organizing behind-the-scenes... such as something I just so happened to stumble upon yesterday.

Observe the cause-and-effect:

1. SF crashes.
2. Because SF crashes and is down for the rest of the day, I once again start thinking about other forums as a means of extending my reach.
3. I find another forum, Spiritual Boards, which I signed up to a long while back at the request of someone at SF. 
4. At Spiritual Boards, I see a recent message from the admin: that SB will be closed because it just wasn't working out.
5. A few posts down, there's a thread that mentions the name Spirit Guide Sparrow, as well as a link to Sparrow's official website. I once spoke to Sparrow in the past; his information resonated with me at the time, so I clicked through because I was unaware he had an actual website.
6. After some nosing around, I stumble upon a topic he wrote about: Playing Roles, Acting out Potentials. I scroll down and see an image which states:

Many of you have vast resumes of past lives, and you have lived as many different characters and personalities. Do not be surprised when all of them seek to merge with one another as you develop spiritually. 

Sparrow goes on to encourage creating identities for yourself based on these personalities - using them to your advantage. Exploring and expressing them through forms of art and whatnot. But guess what? This goes along perfectly with what I've been focusing on in the past week or two. I've recently shifted into wanting to explore who I am as a perspective, and what ultimately encompasses "me." For so long, I've expressed little interest in this. I always wanted to explore outside myself... guides, other energies... I never really wanted to face myself. But I guess now I've reached the point where it's time I start learning.

To go along with this, I've developed an interest in identities and aspects... I nosed around in archetypes and even began exploring aspects to myself - one came through with the name Genesis right before I did a Dream reading for someone a week ago. And now, I'm beginning to wonder again if my boys really are other perspectives, or if they're self-aspects. It's possible they could be projections from other perspectives... for my benefit. Like energy imprints. Pierre is the only one I know was in another life with me. The other three boys... I have no idea. 

The point is, I'm being led to explore myself as a perspective. Perhaps I'll figure out "who" the boys are along the way. I can almost feel my High Perspective "watching"; I've decided to name it Andromeda... I feel that's most appropriate for it. 

I'm very excited to see what I discover. At least I see why now is the time I'm being led to take this journey. As expected, Andromeda has lined everything up so that I can reach this point at this specific time.

That's so freaking cool.
