It’s a Great Time to be Alive!

by Owen Waters

The Shift is the mass migration of humanity into the second tier of consciousness. This is where basic values transform into spiritual values, where caring hearts blossom forth into action to help humanity in ways that represent their personal, highest joy.

Millions of pioneering trail-blazers have already made it through The Shift and into the new awareness. Every day, more people follow their example. The New Reality presents a newly emerging type of humanity. This vanguard of unconditional love and renewed hope holds the seeds of a culture where ‘quality of life’ replaces ‘standard of living’ and ‘you-and-me’ cooperation replaces ‘you-versus-me’ competition.

The world is transforming; destiny is calling. Together we are witnessing the dawning of the New Reality as it rises in all of its glory, like the Sun rising at the dawn of a bright, new day.

The New Reality is both heartfelt and heart-powered. It’s about people who care. But people can only awaken to their new, expanded potential when they realize that this potential exists.

Tell your friends that the world is shifting to a new reality and that it is destined to become a truly beautiful place.

To step forward into New Reality consciousness means to experience new vistas of awareness and new levels of creativity. It means following your heart to express your inner joy through making your own meaningful contribution towards the betterment of the world.

It truly is a great time to be alive!

A Vision of the New Earth

by Owen K Waters

A great shift to a higher consciousness has been accelerating since the 1960s. The progressive portion of humanity is stretching the envelope of human consciousness deep into new territory.

As The Shift progresses over the decades ahead, intuition will bloom and people will begin to notice that their five senses have acquired a new subtlety. The Earth will be seen as more beautiful than ever, filled with subtleties of color and perfumes that were always there and yet were never before detected. The spirit of humanity will be focused on peace and hope for a new tomorrow, which will unfold as if it were the arrival of heaven on earth.

higherconsciousnesslogoTomorrow’s humanity will develop in the direction of cooperation, not competition. People will treat other people as loved ones and as if they were dear family, because they will see the light within each other and know that we are all connected. That which used to be a burden will now become a joy, as people work to help each other and support each other.

Gone will be the old way of focusing primarily upon materialistic gain, because people, being heart-centered, will want everyone to have everything that they need and everything that helps make life a joyful experience.

On the technology front, energy will one day be clean and plentiful after we learn to tap into and convert the life-giving etheric energy that flows from the Sun. Etheric energy has been utilized for thousands of years in non-technological applications under the names chi, prana, and universal life force. It is the primary energy of the Sun, while the more dense electrical energy is a relatively minor secondary energy. Nikola Tesla, the inventor of today’s alternating current power systems, experimented with etheric energy, recognized that it behaved quite differently to electric power, and described it as ‘cold electricity.’

It is less than 200 years since the key principles of electric energy were discovered. When the principles of its big brother, etheric energy, are mastered, the door can potentially be opened to a wide variety of long sought-after technologies. These can include abundant clean energy, gravitational shielding, magnetic space vehicle propulsion, protective force screens, teleportation, and, because etheric energy is vital life energy, a wide array of advanced healing technology.

Eventually, all forms of toxicity will be addressed and remedied. Gone will be thoughtless pollution by toxic chemicals and the smoke of burning fuels. Gone will be the toxicity of human suffering that pollutes the mental atmosphere which we all share. Gone will be the toxicity of fear and all of its disempowering manifestations.

Love will be the way, and The Way will be Love. People will see the God within others and hold a sense of allowance for everyone to pursue their own unique spiritual path. Gone will be the rivalries of small-minded religious factions. The new vision of the nature of God will be universal and all-inclusive.

Gone will be the toxic need to exert control over others, as the fears which cause this will dissolve and softly drift away with the wind.

Humanity will build a world of great beauty in harmony with nature. Nature itself will be honored as a beautiful expression of the Creator. People will give thanks to the consciousness of the Mother Earth which supports us and to the consciousness of the Sun which continually nourishes us with life-giving energy. Most of all, people will give thanks to the consciousness of God for life itself and for the joy that communion with the Divine Spirit brings to our very souls and to our deepest sense of being.

Do You See Beauty?

by Dreama Vance

Do you see the beauty in life?

Is your heart filled with the glory that shines from living life with joy?

Does peace reside in your heart?

I-Love-LifeI LOVE LIFE!

Yes, it is true that most of us would rather be alive than not, but I am talking about loving LIFE… Life that is bigger than us… Life that runs like a river through everything that we are.

Life that burns as a passion within us. Life that expresses as Nature in every harvest of bounty; in every color of sunset. Life that swirls through the spirals of galaxies and carries the tiny bee on his wings from flower to flower.

This love of Life goes deep into the spirit. It encompasses in a very real way all that is.

It explores new levels of consciousness and carries us to new ways of being.

This love of Life vibrates throughout our being.

Are you living in this joy? Do you see the beauty? Can you recall at least two times this week when you were “zinged” by Cupid’s arrow of Joy or Love of Life?

If this is not happening in your experience at least once or twice a week, then are you Living Life?

Awareness and awakening are happening all the time! Take part! Change your life so that you may experience a heart bursting with this joy and love of life.

It IS possible.

I know because I have been experiencing this for several years now. It is a byproduct of growth. How do you get there? It is the result of two important keys:

1. The willingness to listen, and

2. The determination to change.

These are not necessarily easy, but they are simple.

Many people do not have the ability to hear words of wisdom. At an advanced retreat on Qigong, I almost fell out of my seat laughing when my Chinese teacher jokingly said, “…except for Americans, you can’t tell them anything. They all think they know everything.” I am not so sure it is just Americans, since I have found his words to be true of many.

It takes an intention to come to any teaching with your cup empty. In other words, you must come with the intention to listen and to open your heart to hear the deeper meaning.

One of my favorite spiritual teachers said he never worried about his teachings being too advanced in his books because the ideas would simply fly over the heads of those not ready to hear.

Have you ever picked up a spiritual book, or even any book that challenges the status quo, read a bit and put it down because you thought the writer was an idiot? Then some time later you picked up the book again, devoured it and thought the writer was brilliant?

This has to do with our ability to hear or to listen to what another has to say. We must have the intention to open up to new and different ways of hearing and seeing. At a deeper level we must be willing to grow our beliefs and change.

The determination to change requires action. The type of action is determined by the direction you choose to go.

The choice is always yours…

Spiritual Growth

by Owen K Waters

seagullsSpiritual growth is the growing awareness of a higher level of consciousness.

A higher level of consciousness brings an expanded view of reality.

The more your view of reality expands, the more you are able to integrate any conflicting issues within yourself.

Why It Matters Today

Spiritual growth has become such an urgent issue today because the frequency of everyone’s consciousness is rising. People may not be aware that they are growing. They may resist it. They may be in denial that today’s great changes affect them. Nevertheless, these are the days of great change, an era called the Shift.

The Shift is a steady rise in consciousness which affects the entire planet. It is similar to the cultural shift of the Renaissance, only amplified several times over. The Renaissance was merely a practice run for today’s transformation.

The Shift into higher consciousness is propelling today’s search for spirituality and meaning in life. Spiritual growth involves gaining a deeper sense of inner awareness. Deeper awareness ranges from light meditation to a complete and blissful union with your true, inner self.

Exposure to the deeper states of meditation have the long-term effect of raising your everyday level of awareness. The higher the frequency of your consciousness, the more likely you are to see the synchronicity of events in your life and gain intuitive insights into these.

The universal theme playing out on Earth today is shifting from one of separation to one of integration. Integration means learning how to love and accept yourself, and others, completely and unconditionally.

Deeper awareness opens the door to an inner sense of the connectedness of all life. You begin to see other people as different expressions of the same Infinite Being. Not better than, not less than, just different than yourself. In the deeper awareness of spiritual growth, the universe is seen to be within, not something separate and outside of yourself.

Inner integration is a process that causes issues of separation to arise so that they can be resolved. In society today, issues are coming up so rapidly that society appears to be in turmoil or chaos. This turmoil is actually a great society-wide healing, with issues becoming resolved one after another.

People are becoming more sensitive in many ways as the frequency of consciousness rises. The search for lighter diets is just one manifestation of this new lightness of being.

The physical senses are becoming more acute. An example of this is people’s sensitivity to the smell of cigarette smoke in work places and restaurants. Back in the 1970s, people smoked everywhere and very few noticed any discomfort from it. By the 1990s, however, the majority of people’s sensitivity had changed so much that they couldn’t wait to get smoking banned from indoor gathering places.

With the rise in consciousness comes a rise in personal empowerment. People are no longer willing to tolerate abuse or inequality in any form. Many forms of abuse which were traditionally ignored and tolerated have now come out into the public view for examination and reform.

David: Icon of the Renaissance

DavidThe Renaissance movement was inspired by the icon of Michelangelo’s statue of David. The statue portrays David, strong-willed and ready, at the moment that he decides to engage the threat posed by Goliath. This icon of personal empowerment resonated with the cultural shift of the time. People wanted to explore their potential, taking personal initiative in their lives.

Before this, they had seen life as a sequence of events caused by a preordained destiny. Up until that time, people had resigned themselves to a flow of events which they saw as being outside of their control.

When people shifted towards the attitude that they might also be preordained to take some personal initiative, everything began to shift. The floodgates of possibility opened up as people began to explore their true potential.

In that same era, people on Earth still thought that their planet was the center of the universe. The Sun was seen as orbiting around the Earth, and the stars were merely a decorative backdrop in the Creator’s sky.

Today, it is known that the universe measures billions of light years across, contains countless billions of galaxies, with each galaxy typically containing billions of suns. The number of planets in the universe is so large that it makes such an expanded view of reality almost impossible to grasp.

When you consider that all of those trillions of planets were created by one Creator, there is an obvious need for today’s concept of God to expand to fill the new reality. Faced with such a massively expanded view of the universe, how are people supposed to grasp the concept of such a huge Creator in a way that makes sense today?

What would David have done? As he faced the looming Philistine giant Goliath and readied his slingshot, to whom did he pray? Did he invoke the power of an external God for his protection? Possibly, but not likely. As portrayed in the Michelangelo statue, his face was set, but not with a need for protection. It was set in a defiance born of inner strength and determination.

The Power Is Within You

Everyone possesses such inner strength. That same source of incredible personal power is available within everyone, and the source is your inner self. Often referred to as the soul, your inner self is the permanent part of you. While the physical body can pass away from the physical world, and later the spirit body can pass away from the spirit world, your inner self is the real, permanent you.

It is the part of you that is permanently joined with your soul family in vibrant love and harmony. The more you contact your inner self through meditation, the more you can tune into this source of strength, love and harmony.

People’s connection to the Infinite Being always has been through their soul, or inner self.

Inner contact through meditation is the most peaceful, and the most productive, part of any day. Everyone deserves quality time. When quality time becomes the first priority of the day, then meditation will happen regularly and the benefits will automatically be yours.

Put meditation at the top of your To Do list for each day and watch your spiritual growth unfold.

The Origin of Spiritual Metaphysics

by Owen K Waters

Traditional metaphysics is the study of consciousness and the nature of reality. It goes way back, a long way… beyond even Aristotle. As a topic of study in modern universities, it generates endless discussions, no enlightening answers and, one might speculate, could even be a cause of students deaths by terminal boredom!

In the 20th Century, metaphysics reincarnated as the human potential movement, bringing a sense of hope for possibilities beyond people’s wildest dreams. At the higher end of the consciousness spectrum, the new metaphysics was inspiring and uplifting. At the lower end, it devolved into a mind-numbingly mundane tool for material ambition. It was this chasm between higher and mundane metaphysics that led me to use a new term.

My own focus has always been on the spiritual aspects of metaphysics so, in August 2005, I decided to put the two words together and began using the term, spiritual metaphysics. This gave definition to a field of study that brought the light of understanding to spirituality and went beyond basic metaphysics.

An all-inclusive definition of Spiritual Metaphysics has to include the ultimate consciousness which is behind all of Creation. This one spiritual source is known by various terms, including The Absolute, Tao, or the All That Is. My own term is Infinite Being, which encapsulates the idea of infinite, all-encompassing consciousness beyond which nothing else exists.

To keep the desired perspective on the nature of the universe, one has to consider the Law of Creation that underlies all manifestation. It is this triune method of creative consciousness that presents itself in many ways in the nature, in the structure of the universe, and in your life.

As a lifelong mystic, such mysteries were always dear to my heart. After 40 years of ceaseless struggle and searching for the keys to the universe, great insights began to dawn within my consciousness. For a short while, I even began to wonder if I’d been upgraded with some kind of intelligence transplant because, there I was, with deep insights into the nature of the universe popping inside my head like camera flashbulbs going off!

Then, reality dawned. It wasn’t actually me that was having the bright ideas. It took a while, but I slowly began to realize that the great inspirations were being fed to me by helpful ascended masters. It seems that they consider this to be the time for the release of greater metaphysical understanding. I was being impressed with these new ideas because I was on their list of people who were likely to talk about such realizations once they’d been received and understood. This comes from a desire to be of service and a willingness to step forward to assist in uplifting humanity during this time of awakening.

Over the years, I have been digesting and simplifying what I have learned from these inspired sources so that it can be easily understood by everyone. In essence, the subject of spiritual metaphysics is very simple. Beginning with the One consciousness, the Law of Creation employs three aspects of consciousness to interact with each other.

From there, the process is repeated so that you have three aspects of Divine consciousness plus nine variations of the original three in order to manifest the complexity required to support the manifestation of the material universe.

The result is twelve of everything critical to the framework of Creation. There are twelve levels of existence in the universe. There are twelve dimensions (space, time, energy, and so on), and there are twelve universal laws of life. 

Gaining this knowledge is like being handed the keys to the universe!

These keys can transform your own reality into an magical world of new and inspiring adventures.

The time has come for me to present these insights in a way that everyone can appreciate. It may have taken me a total of over 50 years to gain the insights that I have today, but you can grasp them in one easy course because, like all works of the Creator, they are the essence of elegant simplicity.

Once you see these universal principles laid out for your examination and understanding, you will have a complete knowing of how they are ingrained in the design of the universe in order to guide you along the path of your mission in life.

Where Were You 14 Billion Years Ago?

by Owen K Waters

Before time was time and the material universe was formed, you existed in an ecstatic and creative world of light and sound. Today, we call that level of existence the soul realms.

soulThe Earth was in existence, although not yet in material form. She was a child of the Sun, existing in her own cosmic realm and also in two more-dense realms. In these soul-level realms, you awaited with great anticipation the chance of the next adventure.

Bear in mind that time is not the same in the soul realms. We may think of it as billions of years ago but, in soul time, it was just another version of the great Now. Souls can move back and forth along timelines, inserting themselves in at any point along the way.

The Cosmic Plan called for the creation of material that would seem solid in nature. The playful soul realms of the fifth-density universe would be compressed deeper and deeper, all the way down to first density, where gases, rocks and physical elements would be formed.

These were exciting times – ones which had been foreseen right from the first breath of Creation. Imagine, solid matter, the building block of material life. Add to that the chance to create and evolve plant life in the next highest, second-density layer of existence and continue up from there.

Eventually, with the creation of plant and animal life, the concept of human existence would one day become possible. Imagine, endless individual sparks of the Creator streaming into an existence which, for all intents and purposes, seemed solidly physical.

In reality, even the hardest substance is no more than a compressed version of a field of consciousness, but it seems so real that it provides an excellent stage prop in the play of life, as do the plants, the animals, the clouds in the sky, and all the physical bodies of our fellow humans.

The entire physical world is a creation of consciousness and we are here, playing our parts as actors in the movie called life. In the underlying reality where everything is consciousness, we are souls dreaming that we are physical.

To make the adventure called physical life even more real, we have agreed to forget our immediate connection with the soul realms and to spend our lives working toward re-establishing that connection.

Once your soul connection is re-awakened, you have access to the greatest resource imaginable – your soul’s link to the Divine source and the abundant nature of all Creation.

Built into the Law of Creation is the guarantee that you will be supported in all ways in your journey back to your spiritual source.

We live in a universe that was created to be abundant and supportive in all ways. The idea that there is a shortage of anything in this life is an illusion that comes with the idea that you are less than infinite in your potential to achieve anything. Such a limiting concept is just part of the game of life.

When you wake up to your inner being and forge that sense of inner communion each and every day, you will feel the flow of support and abundance that streams into your life from the soul realms of existence.

Infinity and Your Greatest Potential

by Owen K Waters

The universe is a giant doughnut!Doughnut Universe

In physics, they call it a torus. Physicists speculate that the universe is torroidal-shaped. However, being a great fan of simplicity, I prefer the more ‘sugar-coated’ term, doughnut.

Moving beyond physics and into metaphysics, which is where all the fun stuff happens, the doughnut-shaped universe is really nothing more than a projection within the consciousness of its Creator. Beyond the outer walls of that doughnut-shaped universe there is no space. Beyond the universe, there is only the consciousness that created space and everything else that makes up our universe.

Space is no more than a concept in consciousness. It isn’t really “out there.” Everything made from consciousness is “in here,” within you. Space is a projection within consciousness, manufactured for a specific effect. It is one of the dimensions in which we operate in the adventure called life.

While everything is, in reality, just plain “here and now,” not really “out there and back then,” the manufacture of a map of projected consciousness created the different locations within this map of consciousness that we see as space.

Space is not infinite

The universe is made entirely of consciousness. The physical universe – the big doughnut – is held within infinite consciousness and is therefore, by definition, less than infinite.

When we were young, we were taught at school that space must be infinite because, if you were able to reach the outer limits of space, what could possibly lie beyond? If more space lies beyond what you thought was the limit of space, then space must be infinite… or so they said.

The problem was, no-one could imagine infinite space. It just seemed so counter-intuitive. The idea that infinite space would really exist just didn’t sit right with anyone, but we all nodded our heads, thinking that grown-ups knew best.

In reality, physical space is finite, not infinite. It is a projection in consciousness contained within the Infinite Being which created it.

Time is not what it seems

Likewise, linear time is also finite. The term ‘linear time’ means clock-like time, and refers to the single timeline of past, present, future to which our brains are entrained.

The “time” before the universe was created was not time. It was pure consciousness – Infinite Being – from which time was created as yet another concept.

Both space and time are held in manifestation within the consciousness of Infinite Being. Nothing can exist outside of that awareness, for it is All-That-Is.

Everything, including the concepts of space and time, are created within its consciousness. Therefore physical space ends somewhere. It ends at the limit of the created universe. Beyond that perimeter at the edge of space lies Creator-consciousness.

Different points in time are merely different viewpoints in consciousness. Time appears to pass by in a linear fashion, but only because our brains are wired for, and entrained to, the illusion of the linear passage of time.

Most people on Earth have not considered that they can switch their focus to other locations in time and space at will. The energy required to instantly relocate a physical human body to another location in space-time might be prohibitive, but your mind can do it very easily. Remote viewing practitioners routinely visit other space-time locations under controlled conditions in order to gain information.

With brains that are entrained by the concept of linear time, we think of ourselves as being stuck in one location in space and in one position on our timeline. In reality, Infinite Being exists in the all-encompassing Here and Now and we are facets of Infinite Being. Therefore, all locations and all times can be reached just by transferring one’s focus to a different place in time and space.

As people develop their consciousness and their creativity in the dawning New Reality, these concepts will be explored more and more deeply.

Your purpose in life

Everyone comes into life with a purpose, a plan to explore certain attributes of themselves and the society of that era. However, beneath this immediate purpose lies an even deeper, long-term purpose.

You are the “eyes and ears” of Infinite Being, experiencing life from your own unique viewpoint. Your deepest reason for existence is actually the same as everyone else’s. It is to develop your own unique character and potential to the fullest extent so that you can gain experience in life from your unique viewpoint.

The two conclusions that can be reached from these thoughts are:

1. All information that you need from anywhere in the universe is yours for the asking. If you want information from another location in time and space, just get into a good meditative state and pluck it right out of the ethers.

2. Express your full potential. No one else can do it for you, and no one can tell you that you should do it differently. It’s your life. You’re in charge of it. Inside of you is all potential. Become all that you already are in potential.

RememberWhens

by Owen K Waters

My landlady just died. Well, she was my landlady back in 1978 and I haven’t seen or heard from her since.

So, how do I know she just died?

People start their life in the afterlife with a long review of how they lived their life. With support from helpful guides, they relive every experience of their entire life, assessing their own actions.

The litmus test of their actions is love. Did they act with love? If not, how did they fail? What new situations in future incarnations would offer them the chance to progress by acting with love?

We are here to evolve in consciousness. In a solar-plexus centered world of intellect and power struggles, the point of human experience is to rise to the next level of consciousness, which is the heart chakra. So, the litmus test of all experiences is how well people grasp the heart-centered component of their frequency range of consciousness.

Poor old Mrs G., my landlady. She just reviewed the part where, back in 1978, she told me and her other tenant to go find somewhere else to live and now she feels bad about how she handled us. That’s how I know she just died.

My telepathic receptors (which we all have) went “Ping!” and she floated into my mind, several times in the space of a few hours. Naturally, I thought, “Wow. Mrs G. I haven’t thought about her in decades. Why does she keep popping into my mind?”

Then, I realized it was yet another case of the RememberWhens. That’s what I call it when a person passes on to the spirit realms and goes through their life’s experiences. She had just remembered when she told me, essentially, to get out and hurry up about it. She had other plans and wanted to sell the house without any renters in it.

She could have handled the situation and her tenants in a much nicer fashion, which is why she now feels bad about her actions. Oddly enough, being told to leave actually didn’t matter to me as I was preparing to relocate anyway. I just hadn’t gotten to the point where I would have given her notice of my leaving.

Nevertheless, the litmus test of love had given her pause to regret how she had handled me, the other tenant, and probably a lot of other people in her life. When I got the telepathic “Ping!” I realized that she was reviewing her interactions with me as part of her life review process.

The experience of getting vividly pinged by the memory of someone I hadn’t thought about in years has often preceded actual news of their death.

So, when you get pinged by the sudden, vivid memory of someone you haven’t thought about in decades, it’s probably a case of the RememberWhens.

Hopefully, the memories of their actions toward you will be happy ones. If, however, you’re getting a sense of guilt from them, that’s a great time to send them love and forgiveness to set their mind at ease.

The New Enlightenment

by Owen K Waters

*2023 UPDATE: World consciousness upgraded radically this year.
“The New Enlightenment” is now the title of a book by Owen Waters at: https://www.infinitebeing.com/ebooks/newenlightenment.htm

The legendary scientist Isaac Newton spent his entire life in fear of the possibility of being sentenced to death for heresy. Even as he published his Laws of Motion, he kept very quiet about his religious views.

Newton was a key figure in the Enlightenment, an era from the 1650s to the 1780s in which an age of science emerged. The development of reason and scientific analysis empowered individuals to free themselves of the oppressive power of church and social hierarchy.

The Inquisition was still alive and well in Europe, and there were even laws against peasant literacy. Incredible as it may seem today, there were towns where possession of written material by anyone other than the clergy or nobility was punishable by death. If you were caught with a book, you could be burned at the stake in the town square just like any herbal practitioners who ran afoul of the Inquisition.

Thanks to the invention of the printing press, books and even encyclopedias began to circulate, promoting literacy and the development of an active faculty of reason.

In metaphysical terms, this was a shift in the focus of consciousness from the lower to the higher aspect of the solar plexus chakra. The authoritarian age of social and religious hierarchy was being replaced by a sense of independence born out of the intelligent use of free will.

Today, we face another tide change in the consciousness of humanity and this is the big one. The age of solar plexus reasoning is being enhanced by a shift to heart-centered consciousness. Like all evolutionary shifts in consciousness before it, the new, higher level of thought incorporates all abilities that came before it and adds on a new and wider perspective of reality.

Today’s Shift adds a new standard of social awareness, social responsibility and heartfelt service to others. And that’s just the start of it. Those are just attributes of the lower aspect of heart-centered consciousness – the part where people get used to the feel of the new frequency. Next, comes the mastery part.

The New Enlightenment is dawning. As people master the new level of consciousness, they will use it to take action, transforming themselves from heart-centered to heart-powered people.

Those who are already aware of this new reality are the pioneers in the next revolution in human consciousness. And this is the revolution that will dwarf all previous shifts to higher consciousness.

The heart is the gateway to spiritual consciousness, to a place where inner purpose comes into focus, where life takes on true meaning, and where a sense of unity with all life emerges into everyone’s consciousness.

The New Enlightenment will be a new age of innovation where each person will have their own vision of a better world. And, with the support and cooperation of others, they will act to manifest that vision for the benefit of everyone.
